Chapter one hundred and ninety-ninth heart secluded waterside
Chapter 199: Heart of the Water Pavilion
Jimo Mansion is located to the west of Dasheng Palace. It is a garden-style mansion covering a considerable area.
That day, Jimoshu brought the kite back to his residence from Wudesi. Counting the days, seven days have passed now!
For these seven days, Yuan Yuan had been confined to a pavilion in the middle of a lake in Jimo Shu's mansion. During this period, Yuan Yuan came out only once when the emperor came to Jimo Mansion, and spent the rest of the time inside.
The name of this water pavilion is Xinyou. It is said that Mrs. Jimo missed her daughter Jimoyou, so she named it after the word "you" in her name. "Xinyou" is the same as "xinyou", which means care and worry.
Xinyou Water Pavilion is built in the center of an artificial lake, surrounded by water. There is only a winding bridge connecting it to the shore. If you want to leave, besides swimming to the shore, the only way is the bridge.
Yuan does not know the nature of water, so if she wants to escape from Xinyou Water Pavilion, she can only go ashore from the bridge corridor. However, there are four masters arranged by Jimoshu to guard the shore of the bridge corridor day and night. It is not easy to escape...
With Yuan Yuan's temperament, it was true that she had tried to force her way in, but her martial arts skills were not as good as those of the four guards. After many attempts, it still didn't work.
At noon that day, Mrs. Jimo and Jimo Qiao came again to deliver food to the kite.
The mother and daughter walked across the bridge corridor and came to the waterside pavilion. Mrs. Jimo knocked on the door gently and said: "You'er, we have brought you food..."
Jimo Qiao stood next to his mother with a food box in hand and called out: "Sister, there is delicious sweet and sour carp today. Please open the door quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
The two waited patiently for a while, and the door of the waterside pavilion slowly opened.
Soon, what appeared in the door was a kite that looked exactly like Jimo Qiao. The only thing that could distinguish the two was his pair of beautiful blue eyes.
As soon as the door opened, Jimo Qiao carried the food box and walked into the inner room. The owl did not drive her away or stop her. After opening the door, she looked listless and returned to the bedside to sit down with a lonely look.
Mrs. Jimo also followed Qiao Er into the waterside pavilion. Every time she came here and saw You'er like this, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She had no choice but to restrict You'er's activity area.
Jimo Qiao took out a plate of sweet and sour carp from the food box and placed it on the table: "Sister, come and eat, my mother cooked this for you herself..."
But the Yuan sitting beside the bed was not interested in the sweet and sour carp with all its color and flavor. He just shook his head gently and said: "I... have no appetite..."
Mrs. Jimo said sadly: "You'er, Mom is sorry for you. Mom knows that you still hate me and your father, but when I left you in the suburbs, my father and mother had no choice but to do so..."
Yuanyuan said calmly: "Stop talking. You have said these words many times. I don't want to hear them anymore..."
Next, Mrs. Jimo said many words of repentance in bits and pieces. She expected to be forgiven by her daughter, but Yuan Yuan said nothing.
When Jimo Qiao saw this, he said, "Mom, why don't you go out for a while? I want to talk to my sister alone."
Mrs. Jimo saw that You'er was indifferent no matter what she said, so she had no choice but to listen to Qiao'er's words and walked out of the waterside pavilion first by wiping her eyes.
Seeing his mother walking onto the bridge corridor, Jimo Qiao closed the door, turned around and said, "Sister, do you miss Chai Yan?"
Yuanyuan's expression changed, and then he raised his head and asked in a trembling voice: "Is he...is he okay?"
Whenever he was lonely, Chai Yan's playful and smiling face would appear in front of Yu Yuan's eyes. Jimo Qiao's question really touched his heart.
"He..." Jimo Qiao walked to the table and sat down, looking at the dishes and said: "Sister, if you come over and finish the meal, I will tell you about his current situation!"
Yuan hesitated for a moment, then came to the table and sat down. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it quickly.
"Be careful, there are thorns..." Jimo Qiao reminded.
Yuan quickly finished a bowl of rice and some fish, and asked before putting down his bowl and chopsticks: "How is he now?"
Jimo Qiao shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics. I guess he should still be in the Wude Department..."
"You lied to me?" Yuan suddenly stood up, with an angry look on his face.
Jimo Qiao said quickly: "I'm not going to lie to you, are you willing to eat? If you get hungry and sick, your parents will be sad. If I don't do this, what can I do?"
"you......."
Yuan Yuan glared at Jimo Qiao. She opened her mouth and finally didn't say anything. The next moment she returned to the bed angrily and sat down.
After a while, Jimo Qiao raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Yuan, and then said: "Sister, the emperor personally came to explain to you that day. Don't you want to believe what he said? Our parents really don't want to abandon you.
In the suburbs, the old Imperial Master always said that blue eyes represent ominous things and would bring bad luck to Da Sheng, and then he came up with such a damaging and bad idea! Bah, that’s all nonsense!”
After a pause, Jimo Qiao said again: "Sister, I know you have resentment in your heart, but if you want to hate you, you have to hate the old Imperial Master. Don't hate our parents. They were forced to do so because they were innocent...
....”
When he was in Wudesi, Jimo Qiao did not get along with Yuan Yuan, and the two even openly fought against each other. However, Jimo Qiao was in an unknowing state at that time. After the emperor came to his home, Jimo Qiao became interested in
The long-lost sister's attitude completely changed.
Although Jimo Qiao is unruly and willful, the word family love ranks first in her mind!
She knew that her sister must have suffered a lot in the past eighteen years, and now she only hoped that her sister could understand and forgive her parents' forced behavior back then, and one day be able to return to this family.
Yuan slowly raised his head, glanced at Jimo Qiao, and asked, "Can you help me get out?"
Jimo Qiao shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid not. I know you want to see Chai Yan, but the four people outside are too powerful. Just the two of us can't do anything!"
Yuan was very disappointed and lowered his head again without saying a word.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "But, I can go out and help you inquire about Chai Yan's current situation, and then come back to tell you!"
Yuan's eyes lit up, he raised his head and asked: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true!" Jimo Qiao said with great seriousness and certainty: "I am your sister, you are my sister, we were born from the same mother's womb, how could I lie to you!"
A quarter of an hour later, Jimo Qiao walked out of Xinyou Waterside Pavilion carrying a food box.
On the shore of the bridge corridor, Mrs. Jimo saw her daughter coming out. She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "How are you doing? Has your sister eaten?"
Jimo Qiao opened the food box as if to demonstrate his merit, showed the empty plate inside and said, "Mom, don't worry since I'm here to help!"
