Dongyin

? Can't go back, can't go back to anything.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 beside the bead curtain, looking at her quietly. It was Chu Xiying.

Duan Hong turned his head away and ignored it for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head and saw that Chu Xiying was still standing there, so she asked, "You haven't left yet?"

Duan Hong's tone was a bit aggressive, but his expression was much better than before.Chu Xiying calmed down a little, walked over slowly, sat beside her and said calmly, "Are you angry at what Cheng'er said today?"

"What he said is the principles and ethics of the world." Duan Hong laughed at himself and glanced at her. "What can I do if I care, and what can I do if I don't?" , not to compete with you. Why do you reject people thousands of miles away?"

This time it was Duan Hong's turn to be speechless. She was silent for a few seconds, but she couldn't find anything to refute, so she said, "I didn't ask you again."

Chu Xiying nodded silently, as if thinking about this in her heart.The room was so quiet in an instant that you could hear a needle being dropped, but there was a rustling sound from the bead curtain at this moment, so faint that Chu Xiying still heard it.She looked over and saw an old steward poking his head cautiously to look inside.

Obviously Duan Hong also saw it, she slapped the table and shouted, "Get out!"

It was scary.

The steward was not careful, staggered and fell in, and bowed down.

The eunuch is also very prestigious in the palace, Duan Hong saved a little bit of face, and said coldly, "What are you doing sneaking around there?!"

"Back to Your Highness, there is a strong wind outside. Judging by the momentum, I am afraid that a heavy rain is coming. This servant is afraid that the rain will be heavy and wet His Highness, so I came here to ask His Highness to go back to bed."

Even a eunuch took care of her!Duan Hong was angry, but he endured it without expressing it. He sneered and said, "The lonely king will stay as long as he loves." Glancing at him, he said, "I'm resting here today, don't go and lift the bed." come over!"

Chu Xiying bit her lips lightly, and subconsciously looked at the steward, who knew that the steward was also looking at her secretly, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.Chu Xi was a little startled, and moved her eyes a little. When she looked again, the steward had lowered her head and bowed back.She was confused, and heard Duan Hong say:

"Go and tell the people in the dining room to redo the banquet and send it up in two minutes, otherwise, come and see me."

"Yes" the steward paused and bowed out.

Chu Xiying watched the steward leaving the hall, then turned his head to look at Duan Hong, hesitant to speak.At that time, Hong put his fist on his knee with one hand, his face was sullen, and he looked like he was trying his best to endure.She knew that Duan Hong was feeling bad, but she felt even worse.

And the servant girl came in to clean up the mess. After two quarters, Duan Hong ordered vocal music and began to pass on the meal.The time was short, and the dining room was obviously not ready.The maid in front of the end trembled, her face twitched, and Chu Xiying couldn't help sweating for her.

"Crisp Snow Immortal Legs"

The vegetable announcer yelled, and the maid shook her hand and took the bowl away, and there was a steamed pigeon on the jade plate, with a strong fragrance.Duan Hong kept a cold face and said nothing, the steward stepped forward and inserted the poison test needle into the pigeon, the color of the needle remained unchanged.A servant girl knelt down with a silk plate, and the steward took out the jade chopsticks and bowed to Duan Hong. Duan Hong glanced at him, took the chopsticks, but didn't move, startled the slaves with sweat on their foreheads, and then slowly raised his hands , Gently pinch a piece and put it in your mouth to chew slowly.The steward handed the chopsticks to Chu Xiying, and when Chu Xiying took it, he suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her.Chu Xiying saw it clearly, and was startled, but couldn't figure it out.She brought the food into the mouth full of thoughts, but never cared about the taste.While thinking about it, Duan Hong turned his head to look at her with a questioning look, and Chu Xi nodded slightly in agreement.Duan Hong looked at the maid and said, "You are rewarded."

The maid kowtowed to thank her.do not mention.

It is only said that Duan Hong had eaten more than twenty dishes, and when he became tired, he ordered people to pass on desserts.At that time, the atmosphere had eased a lot, and the servants were no longer as tense as before.

"Dense stack of green plums"

As the eunuch yelled loudly, Duan Hong's body shook and his expression suddenly turned cold.Chu Xiying was secretly startled.This time, Duan Hong didn't wait for the steward to hand over the spoon, he picked up the gold spoon first, took one out of his sleeve, tasted it briefly, and asked, "Who made this?"

"Return to Your Highness, this, this is done by Master Liu, who was originally an errand in Shenhe Palace."

"Cut it off." Duan Hong threw the gold spoon into the fruit plate, glanced at them, sat down casually, and said, "Serve tea."

The tone was unquestionable, but the steward knelt down to plead for mercy, and the servants of the kitchen staff knelt down one by one to plead for mercy.

Duan Hong looked at them coldly, and after a while, he said slowly, "You are going to rebel, aren't you?"

Seeing this, Duan Hong was really angry.The left and right hurriedly signaled the servants to get up, but those people fell on the ground desperately, refusing to move at all.

Duan Hong laughed loudly, and ordered the left and right, "Take out these slaves, and divide them into pieces."

The violin stopped abruptly.

The attendant hesitated a little, Duan Hong's eyes changed, and he said, "For those who beg for mercy, all the families will be executed!"

"Yes." Surprised, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed back.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Xiying's heart tightened, and the words blurted out.In a hurry, Chu Xiying got up and raised her skirt, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by a hand.

"As I said just now, anyone who dares to intercede will be punished. You are no exception."

Duan Hong's gaze was extremely cold, seven points angry, two points forbearance, one point surprise.When Chu Xiying met her gaze, he felt like a knife was twisting his heart.She knew that Duan Hong was extremely depressed at the moment, and she was unwilling to disobey her.But... she was powerless to say anything, she took Duan Hong's hand, and said with heartache, "Hong'er, as the king of a country, you can live by flipping your hands and die if you flip your hands. Didn't they pop out out of thin air? Have you ever thought that they are human beings, they also know the kinship of flesh and blood, and they will also have joys, sorrows and sorrows?"

As if being hit hard on the chest, Duan Hong slowly withdrew his hand and supported the table, "So what?"

"Your Highness," the steward said with a choked voice, "The servants are afraid."

As soon as these words came out, all the slaves in the room sobbed softly and whimpered unceasingly.Kneeling on the ground left and right, pulling Duan Hong's robe, weeping, "Your Highness, please let Master Liu go."

Duan Hong only felt a thorn stuck in his throat, he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.She leaned on the table and giggled softly, unable to say a word, the one who didn't fit in was always her, whether it was a courtier or a slave, Bai Yan or Chu Xiying, they were always right.

Chu Xiying was also heartbroken, and stepped forward to support her.But Duan Hong drew back, restrained Yi Yi, looked at her defensively, and said to the left and right, "Serve the wine!"

A jug of spirits was brought up.Duan Hong personally filled the eight wine pots, then put down the wine pots, and said to Chu Xi, "I told you before, if you want to show kindness, you can use your own money to do it. In these eight wine cups, One cup is highly poisonous. For each of the seven servants you drink, I will let go of one. How about it?"

"Is this true?"

"Of course." Duan Hong snorted, sat down with his sleeves thrown up, and looked up at her.

Chu Xiying showed no fear, picked up a glass of wine, but hesitated.She turned her head to look at Duan Hong quietly, and said, "Hong'er, I was wrong." After finishing speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.The wine was very strong, like a ball of fire rolled from the throat to the abdomen, making it difficult to even breathe.After drinking two cups in a row, Chu Xiying was dizzy and couldn't stand still, but he was still groping to find the wine cup.

Duan Hong's face became darker and darker, and his nails sank into his flesh.She got up and kicked the table fiercely, snatched the cup from Chu Xiying's hand involuntarily, and drank it down in one gulp.Then he picked up the remaining five cups one by one and drank them all.

"Hong'er!" Chu Xiying turned pale with shock, her mind went blank, she tightly held Duan Hong's arm.

But Duan Hong stubbornly pushed her away, sat down slowly with his hands on his chest, leaned on the table, and did not move.

Chu Xiying's stomach was already very hot, but now it seemed that even his heart was burnt.She stood there blankly, and the string broke.

"Quick, quick!" The left and right hurriedly greeted the maid to bring the wine, and seeing Chu Xiying's pale face as if she had lost her soul, she hurriedly helped her to sit down, and said, "Miss Biao, don't worry, there is no poison in this wine. Your Highness drank too much and got heartburn. Miss Biao must also be very uncomfortable, just drink two more glasses of cold water." After finishing speaking, she put a glass of cold water into her palm.

Chu Xiying held the water, but didn't drink it, and turned to look at Duan Hong without moving.The servants frantically took care of Duan Hong, and the picture was a mess.Chu Xiying looked at all this with a numb heart. She was clearly on her left side, but she still couldn't get into the painting.

But Duan Hongqiang drank two mouthfuls of cold water, his stomach churned, and he vomited out all he had drunk before.After making a fuss for a while, Duan Hong finally calmed down.She was in a daze, looking at the servants who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "For Miss Biao's sake this time, I'll spare you all, let's all go down."

Those servants seemed to be kneeling to thank Duan Hong, rubbing his forehead, his vision became more and more blurred.When Duan Hong was drunk, his body was exhausted but his mind was very clear. This time, for some reason, even his mind gradually became blurred.She closed her eyes for a while, her heart was clamoring violently, she opened her eyes and felt that the room was very dark, but she turned her head and saw a woman sitting beside her quietly holding a cup, it turned out to be Bai Yan!Duan Hong was startled, he quickly closed his eyes and took a closer look, it really is!

……

That night, thunder was like drums, and heavy rain poured down.The cold air entered the curtain, and there was the smell of soil.At two o'clock, Duan Hong seemed to be fast asleep.The manager came in lightly, and said to Chu Xiying, "It's very late now. Miss Cousin, I see that you are tired too, why don't I send someone to take you back?"

Chu Xiying nodded, gently pulled Duan Hong's hands away and hid them under the quilt, and got up to leave, but suddenly his sleeves tightened.

"Yan'er, I feel bad"

Chu Xi lingered for a while, then turned around slowly, stared at Duan Hong's face, and stood quietly for a long time.The rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, and Chu Xiying finally sat down again.

It sat there all night.

When it was dawn, Chu Xiying came out of the cabinet, and the rain had stopped.Seeing her coming out, the steward came up to her and asked her a question.

Chu Xiying looked calm and exhausted, "His Royal Highness is already fast asleep, please trouble Eunuch Gao to take care of you."

The steward said some polite words and wanted to send Chu Xiying back.Chu Xiying knew that he had something to say, so he didn't refuse.At that time, it was still not very bright, and the two of them were walking on the potholed gravel road full of water. Halfway there, the steward said, "I must thank Miss Biao for what happened last night. The slave can't say anything nice, but only one word, but Miss Biao If something happens in the future, Gao Quan will definitely do his best."

"Where is the father-in-law, it is His Highness who is kind," Chu Xiying said lightly.You are not joking, if Duan Hong didn't deliberately let go of the eight glasses of wine last night, why would he set up wine to make himself step down.

"Your Highness is actually kind and kind, and has always been very kind to your slaves." Gao Quan said, "When I was young, my slaves made fun of her. She didn't get angry, she laughed, and she had an extremely good temper. Even after the death of the king, there were frequent incidents, and she was rarely so cruel." " Duan Hong probably doesn't have any kingly laws in his heart, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, no matter who he is, he has always vented his anger in his heart.The servants are used to her temper, so they have nothing to complain about.

A person who hurts others unintentionally, even if he hurts someone, he should not be harsh on him.Chu Xiying sighed, thinking that the world is impermanent, who would know that the most considerate of Duan Hong would be these servants?

"It's just that your highness has become more cruel in the past few days. The servant is afraid..." Gao Quan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your highness has no awe in his heart, and he does things willfully. I hope Miss Biao will persuade her more in the future. It will be a blessing for the community." In the past, Duan Chun blindly pampered her, even letting her make big mistakes, but she is young, so she can't make any big mistakes.Later, even though Duan Chun left, Bai Yan was still there. No matter what she did, if Bai Yan got angry, she would stop doing it.

Chu Xiying quietly listened to his narration, and before he knew it, he was about to reach the Shuiyue Pavilion, and the dew wet his temples and clothes, Chu Xiying stopped and said, "Elder-in-law, please go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future. "After that, he took a step and went to Shuiyue Pavilion without looking back.

After this rain, the weather should really warm up.

The dream of the past three years finally woke up.Chu Xi was neither sad nor happy, if she hadn't seen Duan Hong's deep affection with her own eyes, maybe she would still be stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate herself.To her, admitting this feeling of being shameless to the world is tantamount to giving up.

Chu Xiying returned to the house without saying a word, lay down quietly on the pillow, Ying'er put down the bed curtain, at that moment, everything in the world seemed to disappear with that ray of light.

Chu Xiying turned sideways, tears streaming down quietly.
