Dongyin

Chapter 23

?As Chu Cheng said, it is not easy for a man to walk in the rivers and lakes, let alone a woman.In Duan Hong's heart, he gradually had to admit this point of view.In this society where husbands are the key, Chu Xiying can't escape the shackles of the world, and she can't escape either.But she didn't dare to talk about the future lightly. Why did Chu Cheng say it so confidently: If she doesn't marry and follow her husband, she will only have a lonely life in this life!

It's really ridiculous, Duan Hong wandered aimlessly in the palace, even though the court was full, he didn't care to watch it.There was an unknown fire in her heart, and she didn't know how to dispel it.Turning around, I don't know where it turned, I was very annoyed, who knew that I didn't see a small step clearly, staggered, almost fell down.

The eunuch behind him couldn't help laughing secretly.Duan Hong became angry from embarrassment, turned around and gave them a hard look.The eunuchs hurriedly silenced, Duan Hong looked away and kicked the stone steps vigorously.Unexpectedly, the stone steps stood still, and the kick hurt my feet.Duan Hong took a deep breath, and unexpectedly heard a soft laugh again.She calmed down and thought to herself: As Chu Cheng said, these people respect her on the surface, but they all laugh at her in their hearts.Yin looked at the past, looked at the eunuch with the front teeth who was still laughing, and said, "Have you laughed enough?"

These words were extremely plain, as if they were no different from the usual words, but these people who served her could hear something unusual.They all knelt on the ground in shock, saying that they would spare their lives.

You always have to wait until this point before you know who installed the head on your neck.Duan Hong smiled lightly, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a eunuch in charge of Yanhe Hall rushing over from the corner, and waited.

The steward came over, and after saluting, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it in front of Duan Hong, saying, "This is sent by the servant ordered by Imperial Physician Li, I hope His Highness will see it for yourself."

Duan Hong casually took the booklet in his hand, pointed to the front teeth and said, "Cut off his tongue and feed it to the dogs. The rest..." Looking away, he saw those people trembling with fear, because he said, "The rest , it’s up to you to deal with it.”

"Yes." The steward was surprised, but he didn't dare to say much.

"Tonight, the Gu Wang will hold a banquet in the Hall of Peace, and send someone to inform the Duke's Mansion." Duan Hong waved his hand, signaling to walk away alone.As she walked, she casually opened the folder.The above part is about Shan Junxiang’s illness. Duan Hong glanced at it briefly, then glanced back, and suddenly stopped, his soul flew out of his body. At the end of the book, there was a sentence "same disease as King Wu."

Same disease as King Wu!Duan Hong was shocked. Duan Chun died of poisoning back then. Although the poison has not been found out so far, now, Shan Junxiang has also been found to have been poisoned by this poison, and it has been nearly 15 years!

In 15 years, the poison should have been taken when she was eleven or twelve years old, but wasn't that when they met?If Duan Chun's poison was poisoned by Bai Yan, then Bai Yan had already gone to the state of Jin, not to mention, Duan Chun was strong and strong but lasted for six or seven years. Although he was debauched later, why is Shan Junxiang safe and sound? have lived so long?

But he said that at that time, Shan Junxiang was lying on the bed reading strange stories, and almost forgot everything around him.Suddenly the book was half dark, Shan Junxiang was horrified, and hurriedly looked up, but saw Duan Hong standing beside the bed with a booklet, looking at her coldly, and said angrily, "I'm scared to death!"

"Don't be afraid of ghosts when reading books, don't read books if you are afraid of ghosts." Duan Hong laughed, pulled a wooden chair to the edge of the bed and sat down, didn't speak, just looked at her straight, as if she was made of gold.

Shan Junxiang felt chilled, wrapped in the quilt and moved in, and said defensively, "Why?!"

Duan Hong stared at her for a long time, just averted his gaze, then met her eyes again, and asked methodically, "Is your appetite okay recently?"

"Fortunately."

"How did you sleep?"

"Good"

Duan Hong nodded, then stared at the blanket wrapped around her again, "Are your legs thin?"

"Unclear" inexplicable!

"Is the arm thin too?"

Is Duan Hong sick?Shan Junxiang rolled his eyes in his heart, and was about to speak when he heard Duan Hong say:

"That pestilence, was it you who planted it?"

Shan Junxiang closed his wide mouth in an instant, his heart sank, he turned his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't pretend, I know you're lying."

Shan Junxiang smiled mockingly, Duan Hong knew something, was smiling, but Duan Hong threw the notebook over.Shan Junxiang paused, glanced at her hesitantly, opened the booklet, and his smile froze immediately.

"You don't need to talk nonsense with me. If you want to talk about evidence, I have a lot of evidence in my hand. I'm asking you because I still think about our past relationship. The bad debt between us is not bad. "

Shan Junxiang snorted, and said contemptuously, "What does this mean?"

"What can it explain?" Duan Hong sneered, and said, "My father's illness can be postponed to Yan'er's second year in the palace, and your poison also occurred not long before coming to the palace. As far as I know, Yan'er I don't know what the poison is. That is to say, the drug was given to her by someone else, and that person is Hua Xu. Do you want me to tell you about the following things?"

Shan Junxiang has known her since childhood and has no relatives. According to her habits, she should be the same when choosing a position.But she is erratic, even sometimes good and sometimes evil.She is not firm, if it is not for the relationship between master and apprentice, then the only possibility is the poison on her body.

Shan Junxiang slowly closed the book, and sure enough, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and although Duan Hong didn't read many poems and books, she was born with innate intelligence.The logical reasoning ability shown in this matter really surprised her, because she turned her head and stared at Duan Hongdao, "That's right, it's me."

Every disciple who worships under Hua Xu's sect will be fed a kind of medicine called Soul Devouring Pill by him.The elixir is not fatal, but if the antidote is not taken for a day, its toxicity will corrode the stomach and make life worse than death, and the antidote is just another drug.Shan Junxiang wanted to laugh, but couldn't. The reasons Duan Hong had always wondered about, the reasons why he once betrayed her but made it up to her to be good for her, should be understood by now.

Shan Junxiang finally admitted.The stone that was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground, but Duan Hong didn't feel the slightest relief.Because the truth is far more cruel than she imagined. "Yan'er, isn't it..."

"You owe her too much..." Shan Junxiang smiled wryly, nodded and shook his head again, "The more you know, the sadder you will be. The past is over, let's pass it on."

Duan Hong sat upright, motionless, he felt that his heart was so suffocated that it was difficult to breathe.With just a few words, Shan Junxiang completely denied her previous efforts and bitterness.

"I still remember a few years ago, I designed you to give up all of this and hide away together, but..." At that time, Haitang discovered that the water in Yuanyang Lake has a natural purification effect on this poison. drug dependence.She fought desperately, lying under Hua Xu's bed for a day and a night, and stole a bottle of antidote.In the end, she was discovered, and she had no choice but to hide.As a result, Duan Hong almost died of illness in the mountains, and later... Later she was disheartened and sprinkled the bottle of antidote.It was also because she deserved her life that she met an old man, and that old man made a bet with her that if she served him one day, she would live one more day.

It turned out that all along, she was the only one living in a dream ignorantly, and everyone was awake, watching her joy, anger, sorrow and joy.It's ridiculous that Shan Junxiang still wants to hide it from her!Duan Hong laughed and stood up, looked at her coldly, and said, "I'll give you a day, you'd better think about what to say." After saying that, he walked away.

That night, nearly [-] lamps were lit inside and outside the Anhe Hall, illuminating the entire hall like daytime.According to those in charge, the palace has been very gloomy recently, and there are few happy events in the first place.Taking advantage of Duan Hong's interest this time, he will make arrangements for it vigorously, so as to save those slaves from being depressed all day long.

Duan Hong was in a daze, if it wasn't for the servant who invited her, she would have almost forgotten about it.By the time she arrived at the Hall of Peace, it was already dark.In the main hall, singing and dancing are peaceful, and several opera girls are dancing their sleeves.With a little concentration, Duan Hongding could detect the weird atmosphere at a glance, but that day, she was out of her mind and didn't notice anything, so she hurriedly ordered someone to pass the meal and went to the pavilion to change clothes.

Everyone sat around the table of the Eight Immortals of Si Nan, Duan Yu was on the left next to the main seat, Shen Fenxiang was next to him, followed by Chu Xiying and Chu Cheng.On the right is Duan Siyou, she is wearing a golden white butterfly and a floral cloud satin skirt at her table today, she is extremely luxurious.At the table, he sometimes yelled at the servants, and sometimes talked about Shen Huixiang and Chu Xi.

While she was arguing to Chen Huixiang, Chu Cheng sullenly said to Chu Xiying, "Sister, let alone how King Qi treats you, just her two younger siblings, one is as cold as ice and the other is bullying. There is a place to live. I will talk to King Qi later and let you go out of the palace."

"Cheng'er..." Chu Xiying felt helpless, and was about to speak when Duan Hong changed into plain clothes and came in, only to see her frowning tightly but her eyes were quite relaxed.Her heart tightened, and she signaled Chu Cheng to keep silent.

Everyone at the table stood up.

Duan Hong only felt that the light was dazzling. After sweeping it for a while, he lowered his head, walked to the side of the seat and sat down.

"Pot meal, fourth brother, this potluck is quite grand enough." Duan Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered, and arranged Shen Huixiang and Chu Xiying together, wouldn't that embarrass him? ! .

"Sixth brother!"

"Turn out the lights, just keep a few lights" Duan Hong ordered the waiter, staring at Duan Siyou on the right, she was not locked up, who asked her to come?Duan Siyou hurriedly lowered his head, Duan Hong looked away, and said to Duan Yu, "Sit down first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

Duan Yu snorted, unmoved.But Shen Huixiang understood the general situation, pulled his sleeves down and sat down.

The waitress began to serve the food.Duan Hong casually asked Shen Huixiang a few words, and then said to Chu Cheng, "Your face is so ugly, could it be that the lonely king doesn't treat guests well?"

"Of course not." Chu Chengdao "I have something to ask the king."

Duan Hong gave up, stroked his forehead and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

"I also have something to say." Duan Yu said coldly, Duan Hong saw Chu Cheng's complexion was bad, didn't he see that his complexion was also bad!

Isn't this a naked provocation?Duan Hongqiang pulled himself together, looked up at him, and said coldly, "I said I'll talk about it after dinner, didn't you hear?"

Duan Yu swallowed his breath and bowed his head in silence.Only then did Duan Hong feel relieved and tried to relax himself a little.Who knew that the dishes were not full yet, so Duan Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "It's over. Fourth brother, can I talk now?"

A nameless fire burned in Duan Hong's heart, she suppressed it forcefully, pretending not to hear it.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Duan Yu stood up abruptly, and suddenly heard a deep and slow voice saying "sit down".Duan Yu also pretended not to hear.

"I tell you to sit down!" Duan Hong put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and stared at him sternly.

Duan Yu snorted, "I don't know what capacity Fourth Brother is using to say this now?"

"You..." Duan Hong gritted his teeth, looked at him for a long time, and then laughed twice, saying, "Leave if you want to."

Duan Yu claimed to resign, but before he could finish his sentence, he dragged Chen Fenxiang away.

Seeing this, Chu Cheng got down from the table to salute, and said, "Your Highness, I have something to ask." By saying this, he admitted that he was an official in Qi State.But this is also the condition for him to wish Duan Hongfang Chu Xiying to leave the palace.

"speak!"

"I want to take my sister out of the palace."

Duan Hong paused, and subconsciously looked at Chu Xiying, who was looking at her with a worried face. She thought for a while and said, "The lonely king had discussed with her a long time ago. When your mansion is completed, you can move out. Don't worry about it." Bring it up again."

Chu Cheng was overjoyed, kowtowed his head to thank him, and said, "The minister and sister will retire first."

Duan Hong felt unbearably uncomfortable, and she didn't know whether it was physical or psychological, probably both, she waved to the maids and eunuchs in the room, "Get down, all down."

"Fourth brother..." Duan Siyou looked at her worriedly.

"You go too, get out!" Duan Hong suddenly knocked the cups and plates on the table to the ground, and the maids in the room rushed to escape first.In a mess, Duan Hong supported the table and laughed in a low voice, why, she just wanted to have a peaceful meal, why is this? !Her vision gradually blurred, and in the blur, she saw the self who rode horses and laughed happily, that self-righteous self, and that self-righteous self, together with those years, gradually turned into bubbles.

Can't go back, can't go back to nothing.

Duan Hong lowered her head and smiled wryly. After an unknown amount of time, she slowly raised her head, but unexpectedly saw a woman in plain clothes standing by the bead curtain, looking at her quietly. It was Chu Xiying.
