"Leave the palace?" Zhichun said in surprise: "I have never left the palace, and I have never received a waist badge. Did he remember it wrong?"
A Luo's lips moved, and after a while he said: "Maybe."
Zhichun didn't think much about it. After making tea, he said: "I will bring it out to the master first, and you can come over quickly."
A Luo couldn't remember whether she responded or not. She was in a daze. When she came back to her senses, she found that she was already outside the Yanxi Palace.
Looking back, the palace door was right there, but she had an urge to escape. The palace door was like the mouth of a giant beast. Once she stepped in, she would be bitten to pieces.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears, "Sister Aluo!"
A Luo turned his head numbly and looked at the person for a long time before he recognized him, "Cai Ling, why are you here?"
Cai Ling said with concern on her face: "I'm worried, so I came here to see, Sister A Luo, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"
A Luo said solemnly: "I...I don't know, my heart is very confused, Cai Ling, I don't know what to do."
Cai Ling looked back at Yanxi Palace, pulled A Luo away, and then asked tentatively: "Sister A Luo, Concubine Xian...are you really the murderer of your mother?"
A Luo squatted down, held his head in pain and said, "I don't know. I asked Zhichun, and she said that no one has left the Yanxi Palace in the past two days, but just now I met an eunuch from the Jingsi Room who asked me to help
She asked Zhichun for her money, but I don’t know whose words to believe. Cai Ling, please tell me who I should believe.”
Cai Ling comforted her, and after A Luo calmed down a little, she said hesitantly: "I know my sister doesn't want to hear it, but I still want to tell the truth. It's clear that everyone in the Yanxi Palace got what Concubine Xian said and hid it from you.
The matter of Zhichun leaving the palace. If it weren't for a coincidence and you met the eunuch of the Jingshi Room, I'm afraid I would have kept this matter a secret from you for the rest of my life. As for why Zhichun left the palace, I don't need to tell you, my sister already knows it."
A Luo said with a painful expression: "I have been my master and servant for seventeen years, and have gone through countless ups and downs with her. How could she treat me like this? How could she do this!"
Cai Ling sighed and said: "Knowing a person but not knowing the heart, it's hard to paint the skin. That's what it means. But I think my sister should be lucky that she recognized Concubine Xian's character early and didn't continue to be kept in the dark by her. It's just that.
I'm so sorry for my aunt, she died tragically at the hands of Concubine Xian just after she got to know my sister."
Her words caused a trace of anger to rise in A Luo's eyes. He clenched his hands tightly and said, "I can't let my mother be killed like this. I must avenge my mother."
There was a strange look in Cai Ling's eyes, and she said: "Sister, don't be stupid, she is Concubine Xian, and you and I are just little palace servants, how can we get revenge."
In fact, Ah Luo's heart is also very complicated. On the one hand, she doesn't want her mother to die tragically in vain. On the other hand, she has been with Xianyue for seventeen years and has a deep relationship. She never thought that one day she would become her enemy. But this time, Xianyue
He really went too far and she couldn't forgive him!
Cai Ling paid attention to A Luo's expression and advised: "Sister, forget it, forget about this matter, and pretend that nothing happened. Only in this way can you continue to stay in Yanxi Palace, otherwise... I
I’m afraid you’ll go crazy!”
A Luo didn't even think about it, so he shook his head and said, "I can't do it. I can't do what you said."
Cai Ling held her hand tightly and said nervously: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, otherwise once Concubine Xian knows that you have learned about this matter, she will definitely kill you, and you won't even be alive by then.
Well, even if you are lucky enough to kill her, you will still die. I don’t want to see anything happen to you!"
A Luo didn't speak, but kept shaking her head. Her appearance made Cai Ling more and more worried, and she urged: "Sister, just listen to me, otherwise you will really die."
A Luo shook his head with tears in his eyes and said: "I can't do it. As long as I think that she killed her mother for her own selfish interests, I can't wait... I can't wait..."
"I understand, I understand the hatred in my sister's heart, but we are all humble, and we can do nothing unless... someone is willing to help us. But think about it, sister, Concubine Xian is the third and fourth concubine, who can
It is simply impossible to offend her for us." Cai Ling shook her head as she said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Cai Ling's casual words made Ah Luo think of something, "No, maybe someone will really help us."
Cai Ling was shocked and said: "Really? Who is it?"
A Luo didn't say anything, just turned around and left. Cai Ling was worried and hurriedly followed her. A Luo stopped in front of a palace courtyard. Cai Ling took a closer look, wasn't this the Yikun Palace that she had visited yesterday?
?
"Sister, what are you doing here? Is it possible that the person you are talking about is the pure concubine?" Before Aluo could answer, she shook her head and said, "Although this matter was the pure concubine who thought of it first.
, but how could she risk offending Concubine Xian to help us, sister, we’d better go back.”
A Luo glanced at Cai Ling and said coldly: "She will definitely help me, because helping me means helping herself."
Before Cai Ling could understand, she had already walked in quickly, and Cai Ling had to follow her. As soon as she entered, she heard a melodious sound of the piano. After the sound of the piano subsided, the palace servant led the two of them there.
Met Su.
A Luo bowed to Mr. Su who was wiping his hands and said, "The melody of "Mountain and Flowing Water" by the empress is melodious, just like flowing clouds and flowing water. It makes this slave seem to see the cold current in the deep stream and the trickle of pine roots."
Su Shi said with some surprise: "Do you still know these things?"
A Luo lowered his head and said, "When I'm with Concubine Xian, I often listen to her playing the piano, so I know something about it."
Su Shi smiled and signaled to the palace attendants to move the piano down, and then said: "I wonder if the piano skills are better for you, which one is better, Concubine Xian or me?"
A Luo thought for a moment and said: "Concubine Xian's piano skills are exquisite and few can match them. However, because they are too exquisite, they lose their proper charm and sound a bit cold. They are not as pleasing to the eye and ears as the empress, so
From the slave's point of view, the empress should be even better."
Mrs. Su looked at her and said: "Obviously you are saying that my piano skills are not as good as Concubine Xian's, but it sounds like you are praising me. Ah Luo, you are very good at talking. You are worthy of having been with Concubine Xian for so many years."
.”
A Luo didn't even raise his head, he just said: "I'm just telling the truth."
Mrs. Su chuckled and said, "Tell me, why do you come to see me now?"
A Luo gritted his teeth and said, "I have thought carefully about what my empress said to my slave yesterday. I cannot let my mother die in vain. I want to avenge her."
Mrs. Su motioned to the palace attendant to put the tea on the small table, and then said: "This is your own business. You can decide for yourself. There is no need to tell me. I reminded you in the first place because I didn't want you to be played like a monkey."
