Hong Zhou really didn't say anything after that, and kept standing next to him. After seeing that Xianyue was not so excited, he said: "Xiangyue, go past here, there is a big pool, let's go there and sit, don't worry.
, if you don’t want to say it, I will never force you.”
Xianyue hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. Hongzhou did not dare to get too close, but just led the way. After walking for a while, Xianyue's eyes suddenly opened up, and a clear lake appeared in front of her. She could already feel the lake before she even got close.
It was cool and cool, and there were many plum trees planted nearby. Although they were not in blooming season, they still had green leaves, which made people feel calm.
Just as he was looking at it, an egret flew down from the sky and landed in the lake, breaking the calmness of the water and causing ripples.
Seeing that Xianyue was attracted by the scenery here, Hong Zhou said from the side: "This is called Linyuan Pond. It is a place where my fourth brother and I used to come when we were children. We often grabbed stones and threw them out to see who could throw them far. Sometimes
I would accidentally throw it to the egrets flying down, causing them to fly up in fright."
Xia Yue's face, which had just improved a little, darkened again because of his words, "I don't want to hear the word "fourth brother."
Hong Zhou felt strange, but didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "If you don't want to hear it, I won't mention it. How about I sit here with you for a while?"
Xianyue nodded, found a stone and sat down. Although her clothes had been straightened, they still looked messy. After sitting like this for a long time, she suddenly said: "I really want... I really want to jump into the lake like this.
From now on, there will be no worries, no pain, no tears." At this point, she suddenly buried her face in her knees, and then a dull and suppressed cry came from it.
Hong Zhou sat aside quietly, waiting for her to cry enough, and then said: "I won't force you to say things you don't want to say, but remember, death can't solve any problems, but it will make you love you more."
My relatives are sad.”
"I know." Xianyue raised her head, her eyes were as red as rabbits. Suddenly, she said to Hong Zhou: "You said someone will be sad when I die, but what about you? Are you one of them?"
"Yes." Hong Zhou nodded and said, "By the way, why did you originally write to me asking me to enter the palace?"
Xianyue sniffed and choked, "Not long after you left last time, Concubine Xi called me and talked to me a lot."
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhou's body suddenly became tense, "Concubine Xi? What does she want from you?"
Xianyue tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of bitterness, "Concubine Xi was very unhappy when she found out that you had met with me in private. She called me over to warn me not to dream of marrying you, fifth elder brother, because I don't deserve it.
!”
"She actually said this to you?" Hong Zhou, who was originally dissatisfied with Ling Ruo because of Yubi's words, was even more unhappy when he heard these words, "She is neither my mother nor Huang Ama. She doesn't care about me.
She has no right to ask who she likes."
"But she is the concubine in power in the harem, so why has she no right to interfere?" At this point, Xianyue sobbed softly again, "I know she doesn't really like me, but I really... really want to be with Wu.
Brother, you are together, so I begged her, but no matter how I begged or begged, she refused to agree, and even scolded me for overestimating my abilities and seducing you, fifth brother, I...I..." Xianyue said no
He went down and just kept sobbing.
"She really said that?" After listening to Xianyue's words, Hongzhou was already furious. In any case, Xianyue was not wrong, so why should he embarrass Xianyue and say that she seduced him? He has always been very
I respect Concubine Xi, but this time, Concubine Xi went too far. After arranging his affairs and treating Xianyue like this, I really wasted my belief that she was a gentle and charitable person.
Xianyue bit her lip and said: "I was very scared at the time and didn't know what to do, so I wrote to you, the fifth elder brother, to know what your thoughts were. Later, sister Mingyu found out about this and told Xi
The imperial concubine is the fourth elder brother’s mother-in-law. If the fourth elder brother came forward to persuade her, the imperial concubine Xi might understand. I agreed without much thought. Who knew that after he came..."
After waiting for a while, Xianyue could not continue. Hong Zhou asked eagerly: "What happened after the fourth brother came? Why are you disheveled? And the fourth brother, I just saw that he seemed a little..."
Hong Zhou didn't say anything, but his expression became solemn at this moment.
Xianyue said with a painful expression: "I used the wrong thing on my face before, which caused redness, swelling and stinging. The medicine disappeared last night, so Sister Mingyu helped me get the medicine. Who would have thought that as soon as Sister Mingyu walked away, Brother Si started on the back?
Something was wrong. He didn't listen to me at all. He just kept grabbing my hand and then wanted to kiss me. I... I was very scared.
I kept resisting and wanted to escape, but Brother Si was so strong that I couldn't fight him. He...he was like crazy, saying that he liked me and wanted me to be his, but I didn't like him at all.
, and he is obviously going to marry sister Mingyu, why is he doing this..." After speaking, Xianyue burst into tears again, unable to speak.
Hong Zhou's head was buzzing and he was speechless for a long time. What did Xianyue say just now, saying that the fourth brother molested her? How is it possible? The fourth brother, like Huang Ama, is not a good womanizer, and he has another child.
How could the person you like want to molest Xianyue, but their clothes were indeed disheveled, and when Xianyue ran out just now, the fourth brother looked very panicked.
Is it possible that the fourth brother really did such a thing? No, the fourth brother is not that kind of person, he will not do this, no! Hong Zhou tried hard to convince himself, but there were two voices in his mind.
There was a dispute, one made him believe in Xianyue, the other made him believe in Hongli, and they refused to give in.
Just when he had a splitting headache, Xianyue suddenly disappeared from his side. He looked around hurriedly and saw Xianyue walking towards the lake. He was so frightened that he ran over to her and grabbed her.
She said: "What do you want to do?"
Xianyue stopped, but the silk handkerchief she had been holding in her hand fell into the lake and floated quietly on the lake. Hong Zhou pulled her back from the lake and said sternly: "You are here?"
What are you doing? Do you know that if you fall, you will really die!"
The tears on Xianyue's face were not dry yet, and new tears fell again. She choked and said: "But I really don't have the shame to see people now, and I don't dare to go back to Zhongcui Palace. I...I have no way out."
!”
Hong Zhou said pitifully: "Don't you still have me? I will help you. Don't worry so much!"
