Lianshan Midnight Green

Over the years, capable people around Pei Se have been sent out, and Ulan is childish again. After all, Pei Se is not at ease. When he rode to the Ling Mansion, he still told him before entering the door: "Ulan, you know the etiquette. The Ling Mansion is no more Canglang Terrace is fast, you know?"

The Ling family has a hundred-year-old hairpin family, and countless ministers and generals have been born to protect the Qi royal family from generation to generation.This old lady Ling is from the state of Chu, and she has always had some friendship with Pei Se's grandmother.Back then, Taifu Libao kept Pei Se in power, and this old lady Ling also put in a lot of effort.At that time, there were people in the court who opposed Pei Se's ascension, and because these aristocratic families followed him, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no clique and faction.

The old lady Ling pushed out her own eldest son, divided the family and divided the property, and separated a thin Lin family, which is now General Lin.The rest of the descendants of the Ling family withdrew from the court and settled down in the fiefdom.The entire army of the great family was wiped out, and the Tai Tuo fought with his life, which made the queen and others shut up.

Pei Se understood at that time that no matter how high the Grand Tutor thought of herself, this fight was just to prevent the royal family from being seized by the queen, and it had nothing to do with who she was. The important thing was whether she could inherit the throne man.Others are all about to succeed, but she stepped on a hall of dead bones to get into a seat with a limited time limit and no name. In addition to the boundless scenery, the pain behind her cannot be explained to outsiders.

Ulan nodded vigorously: "I know, Mrs. Ling must be respected." Pei Se rubbed the back of Ulan's head.

At this time, it was just after morning, but Ling Tau was already dressed heavily, sitting in the hall reading a book and drinking tea.She has white hair at the temples, but she is energetic, even more energetic than Pei Se.Seeing Pei Se coming, she asked her without saying anything, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Pei Se nodded, but Ling Tau asked someone to bring breakfast: "After staying up all night in the palace, I sneaked here again, why are you eating right away?" Pei Se had no choice but to thank him, sat down and ate a few mouthfuls, and then Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he asked: "The old lady is yelling urgently this time, is there something urgent?"

Ling Sou didn't say a word of politeness, put away the fan in his hand, and asked: "Princess, I forgot to ask you all these years, have you left yourself a way out?"

Pei Se said: "The way out? It's nothing more than staying in Pingyang, or returning to the two fiefdoms..."

Ling Tiao was full of impatience playing charades with her, "Are you stupid?"

Pei Se gritted her teeth: "The junior doesn't know what kind of way out the old lady is talking about."

Ling Sou said: "Princess goes to the Yanling line every winter, but this year she was assassinated three or four times? If she is killed, she will be killed. If she is not killed, if she can't find out, then she won't. In the past, this year is the only time when things are going on, and it’s Akihabara and Qujiang who are playing together? It’s nothing to be a girl, everyone has been young and ridiculous. But people have read absurdly good stories, you Have you heard of it yourself? There is also that Fu Lang of Chen Guo, and what kind of fuel-efficient lamps come out of Anqilou..."

Pei Se said: "Miss Fu is from Qi."

It was the first time that Pei Se interrupted Ling Tau's conversation in so many years. The old lady was taken aback for a moment, but she smiled: "The princess is growing up. It's a good thing to have someone who wants to protect her. I congratulate you. It's just that I can't protect you." What's the use of protecting her?"

Pei Se raised her head in a daze, met Ling Tau's eyes, and heard her say: "Protect her so that you can drag her to die together?"

Pei Se said: "No..." She had been slow-minded recently, and it was only at this moment that she suddenly realized what Ling Sou's fire was for, she got up and lifted her robe and knelt down: "This junior is wrong. I shouldn't..."

Ling Sou sneered and said, "What shouldn't be? Shouldn't I have forgotten to tell people not to let me enter the palace, or shouldn't your father let me find out about it by leaking the truth?"

Pei Se knelt straight, feeling the coolness on the back of her neck, and the cold sweat had already come out. It took a while to sort out her words and speak again: "Your junior is wrong. I shouldn't have kept this from the old lady."

Ling Tau suddenly fell silent, feeling the pity of the man kneeling on the ground, who was sweating a lot in the summer and dared not wipe it off.Ten years ago, it was also so pitiful. A small person, wearing a winter coat heavier than a human being, knelt in the court with his back straight until midnight, begging one after another: "Please help the old lady." That day It was severe cold, the sky was stuffy with snow, her face was purple from the cold, her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she didn't say the word "help me".Ling Tiao was annoyed at that time, so annoyed that she didn't sleep all night, how could there be such a proud child in the world, but she?If this was his own child, he would have dragged him in and beat him until he let go.

Hate is hate, but it is too pitiful.The more proud you are, the more pitiful you are.It's a pity that she is the same as she was back then. She shouldn't even think about what she should have, and she shouldn't even think about what she wants.Year after year, everything is so confirmed.

Ling Suu curled up his fingers and tapped on the table: "Get up. I know what you think, but to this day, I tell you this again, of course not to delay those children and grandchildren in vain, but also because you are a good boy Seeing that Pei Se got up and sat down, he handed her a handkerchief, "I don't think you didn't think about it, but you didn't think about it at all. The princess still doesn't let go? You don't say it, I say it. Today, you give it to me." How many Changyu's are there?"

Pei Se pondered and replied: "Situ, Sikong, Taizhu, some of them below. The prime minister is the Queen's man."

Ling Sou said: "These are unimportant positions, but they have also been exchanged."

Pei Se still lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "It would be the same if it were me."

Ling Sou was so angry that he snorted, "You? You don't know how to do it."

Pei Se didn't answer, Ling Sou said again: "The queen has been begging for life under your hands all these years, and she can force you like that. The Jiang family in Shencheng was imprisoned for so many years, and the children of the Jin family went to school one by one. Li Sai, you have to go seven or eight times with a golden seal, you have changed your whole body to Zhu Yan, and you are sent to the folks, you can bear it. Now that Changyu is back, you will not be so hard to bear in the future. "

After Pei Se listened quietly, as if she couldn't breathe, she choked out a sentence for a while: "Changyu is different from the queen."

Ling Sou said, "Why is it different?"

Pei Se said, "He's my younger brother..."

Ling Sou was so angry that he slapped his hands on the table, and he was really angry, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Which route should your brother take to return from Chen Guo, how many days should it take, how strict is the mission, You don’t know this? If he really treats you like a sister, can such a living person run out of the mission, and come to your side just in time, and you will be assassinated just in time? The princess pretends to be stupid forever ?”

What she said was serious, and she saw Pei Se suddenly raised her head, her eyes were astonishingly bright, she stood up in a hurry, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak, finally she stood up, but she couldn't speak, and started again Kneeling down, stooped and kowtowed three times vigorously, then turned around and walked out the door.

Ling Tau said loudly to the door: "Who is following the princess today? Look carefully, don't pretend to be stupid, you will be cut down if you are so stupid!"

Ulan listened to the general idea at the door, but she didn't understand it very well, thinking that she was going to ask the young master later.Suddenly hearing Mrs. Ling shout such a sentence, I was shocked suddenly.The door was pushed open, and Pei Se walked out quickly.Her face was frighteningly pale, and Ulan hurriedly followed her.Pei Se walked with the wind all the way, and when she left the Ling residence, someone brought her a horse. She thanked her and took the reins, but she didn't move.

Seeing this, the man asked, "Eldest Young Master, you don't want to ride a horse? Then it's very convenient to ride in our house's carriage. I'll ask them to prepare..."

Pei Se shook her head, stepped on the horse, Ulan quickly got on the horse, walked with her for a while, turned the corner, and found a street full of strange restaurants and teahouses.It was almost noon, and the streets were full of white horses flying in yellow shirts. The loess was lifted up by the horseshoes and turned into dark dust floating in the air. The golden and green eaves and corners could almost rival the bright sun.This is not the way back to Canglangtai, Ulan felt strange, but saw Pei Se raised his face and stared at the scorching sun for a while.Her ears were a little red in the sunlight, and she could clearly see the hair-thin blood vessels inside.The cheeks were also illuminated, and the skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, like transparent water.

Wulan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little inexplicable uneasiness.

Pei Se raised her hand, palm facing out to block the glare, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Ulan, I forgot my way."

Seeing the sapphire ring in her hand being illuminated by the sun, Ulan was in a daze for a moment, not sure whether Pei Se was going to find Fu Lang or go back to Canglang Terrace, so she could only ask, "Go home? "

Pei Se put down her hand, looked at the sun and nodded slightly.

Fu Lang fell asleep lying on the messy floor, and when he woke up, he didn't know the time.The room is dark and there is no light from the sky. The lamp was lit yesterday, and now the lamp has burned out.She got up slowly, groped up and down the bookshelves, but couldn't find flint and lamp oil.Only then did I remember that there were lights and people in the secret passage yesterday.

She walked up the long stairs again in the dark, and when she reached the bottom, there were indeed lights and shadows, but there was no human voice.The tricky and unpleasant smell had already risen, and Fu Lang asked, "Child, are you still alive?"

No one answered, Fu Lang sighed inwardly.Such a small child really couldn't bear it.I shouldn't have slept, I should have come down early—but it didn't matter if I came down early, there was nothing like medicine, water, food, and I couldn't feed others hair.

Thinking about it while walking like this, she was almost amused by herself, and she really laughed out loud.Although it was just a slight sneer, it was a bit scary in the silent cellar.She continued to walk down the steps, but couldn't laugh.The child's hands and feet were tightly bound and hung on the wall. His face was covered in blood and mud, and he couldn't see his true face, but his eyes were black and bright, staring straight at her.

Fu Lang blurted out, "Hey, are you still alive?"

The child stared at her: "Why are you still alive?"

Fu Lang was not angry either, and walked over to check on his injuries.The skin and flesh of those welts were rolled up, and after a night, the blood dried up, but there was no inflammation, probably because it was cold under here.He asked, "How do you make it sound like I deserve to die?"

The child turned his face away: "You are also a bad person."

Fu Lang said: "It's true that I'm a bad person, but I'm not sorry for you. Do you recognize me?"

The child shook his head: "I don't know. But you expect me to die."

Fu Lang remembered the laugh he made just now, and knew it was a misunderstanding, so he could only explain to him: "I didn't expect you to die, I'll come down to help you." She knelt down and untied the child's ankle. The rope, the knot is not difficult to untie, but it is tied very tightly.The child looked at her movements, and suddenly asked, "Does it hurt you?"

Fu Lang gave a "hmm" and used his fingernails to pick at the rope, gritted his teeth and tried hard, and finally pulled away one side.She breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to her chest: "Warm heart."

The child said, "Why did they kick you?"

Fu Lang went to the other side again, "I want to run out."

The child said, "No wonder."

Somehow, the buckle on this foot cannot be undone.Fu Lang simply let go, stood up and went to untie his hand again, but it was still difficult to untie.The child shook his head: "You don't need to untie it, it's useless to untie it."

Fu Lang was about to bite his teeth when he heard the words and asked, "How?"

The child glanced to the other side of the dark room and said, "We're all here, we can't get out."

It was dark over there, Fu Lang couldn't see anything clearly, so he walked over to have a look.The child called her: "Don't go!" But it was too late, she walked so fast that her toes had already kicked something soft and stiff.

Fu Lang gasped for breath, knowing what it was, but forced himself to look down.It was the corpse of a person, with a blurry face. I don't know how long he had been dead. Fortunately, it was cold in this cellar, and nothing disgusting happened.But the smell is really bad. It was just what she smelled at the stairs. She soaked in this smell for several months when she was a child, and it was difficult to wash it off for several years. The memory is too deep, and the smell is familiar just now. It turned out to be so.This person's face was rotten, his hands and feet were still intact, and there was another corpse under his body.Fu Lang's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he could clearly see that there were seven or eight dead bodies piled up in the corner, like an arhat.

She actually thought of it a long time ago.Changyu is "like her sister", so she must be considerate in doing things.The wooden door of the upper room was closed, and although people's voices could be heard outside, there were few people there, and there must be people guarding it, and no one would find it and come in for help.Except for Changyu, no one can go out, it is a place where there is no way out.Yesterday she opened the secret room, Changyu didn't take precautions, he was not afraid at all that she would know these secrets, let alone that she would recognize him, presumably he was fully prepared, and even more determined to kill him.

Seeing that Fu Lang was frozen there, the child called out to her, "No one who gets here can get out."
