The next day, when I walked out of the morning palace, I could no longer see the flowers blooming in full bloom at dusk. There was no fresh and pleasant floral fragrance filling my breath. Instead, there was the smell of charred vegetation after burning. Some piles were still emitting gray smoke, and a gust of wind
After blowing it, the smoke drifted into my nose, which was very choking. I had not recovered well, so I started coughing after the choking.
"Sister, are you okay?" A woman's voice came from behind. It was not the queen who was so majestic. I didn't expect that she would be so out of control and come to see me today.
I regained my breath, turned around, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm still alive."
She sighed and said: "If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?"
I stopped looking at her, just looked at the gray sky, and said, "I understand what you are saying, but I still don't understand it. It's so strange."
She really thought that I had killed her child, so she would say this. She thought that I should not be so pampered by Emperor Xuan Tian. After thinking about it, she finally incurred revenge, and she would also say this. She said it even more
A little further, if she loves Emperor Xuan Tian, then she will say this even more, but I don’t understand. If she is smart, she must have seen the clues in this, or maybe this was designed by her.
A game, then she just smiled proudly, why would she call me sister, and why would she say such words.
"No matter what my sister thinks, Aijia is here to see her today." She looked at me and said with regret. However, I clearly saw the relief in her eyes and the fleeting smile.
"By the way, the emperor said, sister, please stay in this garden and don't go out of this garden again. If nothing happens, no one will come in and disturb my sister. If possible, planting these flowers is also a good pastime."
I thought I should sneer. Isn't it just house arrest? Isn't it just becoming a flower slave? This will be the largest cold palace in the imperial city from now on. But I didn't even want to sneer, I just looked back at her lightly, and then looked at her again.
Looking at this place where flowers are buried, I no longer feel any turmoil in my heart.
A nun behind her seemed unable to stand that her master was being ignored, and scolded: "How presumptuous! You slave..."
The queen said coldly: "Shut up!"
There was a suppressed silence after that. But I felt very calm.
After a long time, she spoke, with anger in her tone, and said: "The Ai family has brought the news, so my sister can be aware of it."
After saying that, he shook off his long sleeves fiercely and was about to leave quickly. Suddenly he paused, looked back at me and said: "Tianfei, what kind of person are you? At this time, you don't know anything at all."
Sad and painful.”
"Sad and painful, how sad should I be in your eyes? Cry loudly, make a fuss desperately, and finally hang myself to end all this sadness and pain. It would be best if I could cry on the palace here like Meng Jiangnu cried on the Great Wall.
Pour some? But you are not me. Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. What I should do is my business. It’s just a pity that it can’t satisfy your so-called winner’s vanity and pleasure.”
I said it calmly. In their eyes, I seemed to be telling someone else's story.
"Tianfei, you are really stubborn, don't you know? The little princess Yun Yan is dead! Are you satisfied? The emperor is so tolerant to you. You just have to stay in this smoky garden and reflect on yourself. Don't
If you go out again, you will harm others and yourself." After saying that, she walked out without looking back.
Is the little princess Yun Yan dead? She asked me this as if I should have known it for a long time. What happened to the people here? Do they all think that I am the murderer? No matter who they are, they all think so.
After walking out of the garden gate, I heard a bang, and the garden gate was closed, and then there was a sound of chains and iron rings rubbing and hitting, and with a click, the door was locked. From then on, everything here was locked. It felt like this
The scene is very familiar, but this is not Akiye Garden, but Morning Garden, which is several times larger than Akiye Garden.
I never knew that such a large garden, except for those pavilions, was almost in ruins overnight, could be blocked by Emperor Xuan Tian without any news being revealed. It was only rumored outside that Concubine Tian was allergic to those flowers.
Imperial doctors paid attention to the growth of flowers, and mixed pollen to form toxins, which can easily cause diseases, so they treated some flowers. It has been passed down for a long time, but there is still a version that Emperor Xuantian burned the flowers in anger, which is really a huge irony.
After the Queen left, I started my own life. I said it was me, but in fact I was alone. No one came, not even people who delivered food. This is what they call self-destruction. This is also
There's nothing wrong with it. This morning garden is very big, even bigger than the village I stayed in when I was a child.
When I was a child, my grandparents always told me not to run to the mountains, saying that there were venomous snakes, wolves and tigers, all of which would eat people. And I think it is the same here.
But I still have to live. Death won't solve anything. Even if I lose everything, I still have myself. If I don't protect those who respect me, then there really is no reason to live. I have thought about this before.
Aunt Wan's life is pretty good, at least she doesn't have to face people she doesn't want to see every day. But now, I want to know who designed to kill my child. Even if I really want to die, I have to find out the murderer first.
, to avenge my child.
The first problem to survive is food. I just went to the dining room to find some leftover food. Maybe Emperor Xuan Tian was really very good to me in the past. There were a lot of things stored here, but unfortunately they were all taken away, but they were sorted and scattered.
The food on the ground is enough for me to feed myself for seventeen or eighteen days.
Secondly, it’s clothes. It’s almost autumn. The weather here is also very cold. If you don’t have enough clothes to protect yourself from the cold, you will freeze to death. I checked my cabinet, and I was glad that they didn’t have any three-light and four-light policy, except for the expensive ones.
In addition to the rare clothes and jewelry, I was left with some clothes that can keep out the cold. They were a little messed up. I just need to tidy them up. In other words, I might still be well-off. When I was sorting them out, something fell out.
Inside the crumpled package was the pair of socks and inner clothes I made for my child. As soon as I looked at it, tears welled up in my eyes. I slowly flattened the extremely wrinkled cotton socks and stroked them so I could not see clearly what they were.
Embroidery or something. Carefully fold it and put it in the wardrobe.
Finally, it was time to tidy up the entire room. I wanted to go outside to see what I could pick up, but what I saw in front of me was charcoal. I had to go back.
When my health was almost recovered, I thought that spending all day like this was not an option. If this continued, I was afraid that I would die of suffocation before I could find out the truth of the matter. So, I ran to the tool room to find pruning branches.
Use iron shears to cut off the burned branches until you can see the life-like green.
Although it is late summer, some branches and leaves should still grow. After all, they are very energetic. And they burned it at night, so they couldn't remove it completely. Occasionally, if you clean the top layer of char, there will still be some below.
A few small flowers and newly grown grass suddenly gave me the feeling of surviving a disaster. I felt lucky and wanted to cultivate these flowers and plants.
I recognized some of the wild vegetables that I used to eat in Akiye Garden. With the addition of some edible flowers, my food improved a bit. I tried to eat as many vegetables as possible to dry in the sun, otherwise I might not be able to survive this winter.
However, I was surprised to find that I couldn't finish the rice in the rice vat, but I couldn't eat any more. There was also salt. After eating it for a few days, one day I suddenly found that the salt had returned.
to the original amount. There are also cooking oil, water in the water tank, and even the wild vegetables I dried. When I took them out to dry in the morning and took them back in the evening, they turned out to be heavier than the ones in the morning. Or maybe the weather was going to change.
It was raining, and because the acupuncture points in my legs were blocked again, I couldn't walk fast. When I couldn't rush back to collect the vegetables, I went back and saw that the wild vegetables were placed in the dining room intact. When I touched them, there was no rainwater on them.
I always wonder who is helping me secretly but not showing up. Is it Ling'er? It's not like Ling'er's style. Even if it's because of what I said that day, it's not necessary. If she believed me, then it wouldn't be
If she doesn't believe her, there is no need to hide from me. Not to mention that everyone here knows that Ling'er is following me. Emperor Xuantian intends to torture me, so why would he let Ling'er come here?
Under his surveillance, it would be difficult for Ling'er to get close to Chenyuan.
So who else? Who else here will help me, or in this secret way.
A few times, I even thought that my second brother had not left me. Just like before, he stood silently behind me to protect me and help me deal with the aftermath.
