Bright Spring

Chapter 27 Sad

"Tu Tuk Tuk..." The sound of the wooden fish in Qingshou Temple was neither fast nor slow, but there was no sign of it stopping.

Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes and held the beads in his hands, pinching them one by one. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The child who died in Yan Wang's mansion, did the symptoms really be the same as when the son was seriously ill in Beijing?"

Sitting on the futon next to him, Yuan Gong, a square-faced and gray-haired fortune teller, said: "The symptoms are the same... The child in the palace was poisoned by mistakenly eating Junyingcao. All the grass was pulled out to prevent anyone from eating it by mistake."

Yuan Gong pondered for a moment, then asked: "Will you report this matter to the King of Yan?"

"Slow down!" Yao Guangxiao's eyes were still closed, and he said a word without saying a word. He counted for a long time while holding the prayer beads, his lips still moved slightly, but he didn't say it out loud.

At this time Yao Guangxiao finally spoke again: "Daxu, come in."

A younger monk opened the straw curtain, walked in and bowed his head in a one-handed salute.

Yao Guangxiao gave a wink, and the monk named Daxu said to Yuan Gong: "The poor monk was ordered to go to the capital to meet a certain nobleman. He heard that the king of Gaoyang County killed someone, and by the way, he found out some small strange things in the matter. The inconsistencies..."

The monk paused for a while, took two steps forward, and whispered a call in Yuan Gong's ear.

Yuan Gong listened for a while, at first he was thoughtful, and then suddenly realized.

Yao Guangxiao glanced at him: "Mr. Yuan finds an opportunity to meet that Miss Du, it will be of great use."

Yuan Gong nodded in agreement.

Yao Guangxiao saw that he still seemed to be a little doubtful, so he said: "If you don't have long-term considerations, you must have near-term worries. We talked about what kind of person Gao Yang is like before, and there may be deviations. Besides, the old monk was at Yan Wang's mansion that day, and he accidentally made some grudges with him ...It doesn't matter, the old man didn't get along with him in the first place. The opportunity is very good at this time, why don't you seize the opportunity and take precautions first?"

Yuan Gong said: "The master is right."

...Du Qianrui can cook, but she can't sew clothes. The female celebrity skills she learned when she was a child can't be put on the table, and she can't make good clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu gave her some silk, she picked out two, and called Wang Gui's godson Cao Fu to help her drive out to find a tailor.Recently, Cao Fu was always wandering in the front hall, and Du Qianrui happened to stop him.

They drove to Xiejie, where the best tailor shop in Peking was located.Du Qianrui picked a family and told Cao Fu to wait outside, then went in with silk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gate, an old alchemist came out, stood in front of Du Qianrui, clasped his fists and said: "Miss Du, can I take a step to speak?"

Du Qianrui was taken aback, looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

Fang Shi said: "Miss Du is a prisoner, dare to come out so soon?"

Du Qianrui was even more surprised and wanted to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the alchemist said again: "A criminal is a criminal, so don't be confident. If you let the nobleman know about your life experience, will he still protect you?"

After a few words, Du Qianrui couldn't walk anymore, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"This way please." Fang Shi said.

Du Qianrui was at a loss for a while, everything he saw seemed to have lost its color, and he followed the alchemist into it by accident.Entering the hall of this shop, there is also a courtyard. Some women in the house are busy with their heads.The alchemist walked to the corner and stood still.

"What do you want to say?" Du Qianrui asked tremblingly.

"Sad!" The alchemist stared at her and shook his head, then spit out two words.

When Du Qianrui heard these two words, his heart ached, and he almost lost his composure on the spot and cried out.

The alchemist observed her with small eyes, and continued: "The life experience that the girl fabricated is not her own, but someone else's, right? You are envious of others, and you can meet a lover to rescue you from your miserable and lowly business. Unfortunately, your situation The same is sad, but the life experience is not the same as worthy of pity.

When you meet that noble person who chooses you three times, you think you have something to play, so you follow the same example and apply other people's life experience to yourself.What's more, he deliberately provoked Ambassador Xu, so that he could fall into the trap and torture you very pitifully.Have you exhausted all your efforts and finally got your wish? "

Du Qianrui kept shaking her head, and said, "I don't want to put Ambassador Xu to death! He has done bad things in the first place, and I thought it would be okay to make him feel wronged. I didn't expect things to turn out like they did later..."

The alchemist sneered and said: "Let's think about it, what would happen to that nobleman if he knew that you had been plotting against him, and even let him commit a life-threatening confinement and almost escaped?

Even if he suddenly stops being violent and spares your life, at this moment, someone will take a list and send you to the government, what will happen next? "

Du Qianrui stretched out his hand to hold his heart, his face turned cold: "What do you want?"

The alchemist said: "You have to tell the old man what you saw in the capital, and what did the nobleman do? Then, you have to stay by the nobleman's side, and tell us any news in the future. As long as you do these two things, the old man will protect you." Nothing, I will try to settle everything for you."

Du Qianrui said coldly: "I didn't see anything!"

The alchemist showed a fierce look on his face, "It's better to think clearly! Did the nobleman poison his eldest brother with Junyingcao? When and what medicine did he use to cure the poison?"

Du Qianrui trembled and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

A scene appeared in her mind, in the firelight of the night, a familiar deep voice said: You just pretend you don't know, can you?

All kinds of words said by that voice surged into her mind and lingered in her body.

... If I just sit back and let Miss Du hurt her finger, how can I listen to you playing the pipa in the future... Can you forgive your sin? The practice, the time and patience it took, I tasted overflowing...

"I don't know!" Du Qianrui cried, almost shouting.

After she said that, she took the road and left, the alchemist chased after a few steps, and said: "Miss Du, don't worry, think it over, and then tell the old man."

"I don't know! I don't even know if I die!" Du Qianrui said as she walked quickly, holding her skirt.

She ran out of the shop, saw Cao Fu standing beside the carriage, and said: "I saw some ready-made clothes, this shop is not good at craftsmanship, let's go."

Cao Fu sat in front, flicked his whip, turned around and said, "Miss Du, where are we going now?"

Du Qianrui said: "Go back home, don't do it."

Back at the Prince's Mansion, after Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went out, it seemed that they hadn't come back yet, Du Qianrui was suddenly very afraid of seeing him.The smile on her face had completely disappeared, and she met Aunt Wang in the front hall with a pale face.

Aunt Wang tilted her head, looked at it without any scruples, and asked, "Miss Du, are you sick?"

Du Qianrui had always been kind to people in the mansion before, careful to please everyone, but now he lost his patience and said coldly, "I'm a little uncomfortable."

She walked into the wing room where she lived, closed the door with a "bang", lay flat on the bed, buried her face in the quilt, and burst into tears in a suppressed voice.

sad!The word pierced her heart precisely like a knife.It's not that she hasn't been scolded before, but she hasn't really been scolded to the point of pain, so she won't feel the way she feels today.

The more Du Qianrui thought about it, the more pathetic she felt.Shamelessly fabricating a life experience, but in fact there is no regrettable thing, it is nothing more than the most inconspicuous one among a large group of Jiaofangsi girls.She even felt that she didn't even have a reason to live in this world.

I remember that when I was in Fuleyuan, because Du Qianrui felt sorry for a servant girl, she often gave her some old clothes that she didn't wear. Unexpectedly, the maid said behind her back: I wore Du Qianrui's clothes, which were more beautiful than hers... At that time, Du Qianrui called her "pathetic".As a result, Du Qianrui himself has "put on" someone else's life experience, which is even more pathetic than that maid!

Du Qianrui's soul seemed to be taken away all of a sudden, and it felt like the sky was falling.

She blamed herself for being smart, but she didn't expect to meet a prince, and she didn't want to be involved in the murder case and such a complicated conspiracy.

It's really over now, even going back to the Jiaofang Division to continue his lowly career, he has become a prisoner!

After crying for a long time, Du Qianrui got up from the bed, and looked at her red | swollen eyes in front of the bronze mirror.She didn't cry anymore. Anyway, since she was a child, nothing good happened. She was either betrayed or insulted. Today was not the first time she felt such a mess, so she quickly recovered from the emotional breakdown.

After thinking about it, Du Qianrui felt that it would be wise to leave Beiping as soon as possible and find a place to hide before anything happened.She has nowhere to go, and it seems that she can only go back to her hometown, that poor and remote village, and the capital's list can't be reached... She has to think of a way, how to go back to Jiangxi.
