As the sky was getting dark, Hua Wuque sat alone under the lamp, holding a sunspot in his hand, staring blankly at the chessboard.Originally, he laid out an endgame according to the chess record, and wanted to solve it with his heart, but he was disturbed by the recent events that happened one after another, and he couldn't gather his mind.
He grew up in Yihua Palace since he was a child, and he is the only disciple of the two palace masters. He is stupid. Ever since his aunt let him go out of the palace, he has doubts in his heart—this decision was made in such a hurry. Set off without delay.Before this, he had never set foot in the rivers and lakes, shouldn't he be well prepared?The eldest aunt may not be concerned about this, but the younger aunt is as careful as a hair, so how could she not think of it?
What puzzled him even more was the order from his eldest aunt.After killing Jiang Xiaoyu, why did he let him kill a stranger?If Big Aunt wants Jiang Xiaoyu to die, she can do it herself. That little Yu'er's kung fu is so bad that he can't even beat him. If he meets Big Aunt, he probably doesn't even have the ability to parry him. Why does he have to kill him with his own hands? Woolen cloth?He even specially sent Gu Ping over to tell him that Jiang Xiaoyu was in the ruined temple.
Moreover, Eldest Aunt seems to know all about the series of events that happened in Murong Villa. Although the Baihua Detoxification Pill in the palace is very effective and can cure all kinds of poisons, it is not [-]% sure that it can cure the poison of all the people in Murong Villa. Auntie is so sure, did she already know the poison's toxicity?
He thought about it, but he couldn't really think through anything, so he couldn't help being upset, and looked down at the chessboard. He thought that playing chess was a pleasure after dinner, but now the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the black and white twins were fighting each other. Such a ferocious, life-and-death struggle between life and death, I was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Hua Wuque suddenly felt a hand lightly resting on his shoulder. He suddenly turned around, flapped his folding fan, and put on the defensive, but saw a familiar face smiling at him. Lian Xing, the lord of the second house, was standing in front of him, dressed in a plain palace attire, and said softly: "Wu Que is so preoccupied with thinking about something, I can't even recognize my little aunt."
"Little aunt." Hua Wuque hastily put away the folding fan, bowed to salute Palace Master Lian Xing, with surprise and affection in his tone.
Different from the strictness of the Grand Palace Master's invitation to the moon, this little aunt has treated him very well since he was a child, and he is also quite attached to her. It can even be said that she is the source of his fantasy of a perfect woman. She is smart and kind. , beauty, and gentleness, even a disability cannot cover up these beautiful qualities.
When I was a child, I often had nightmares. My aunt would hold him in her arms and coax him to sleep. When my aunt found out, she was very angry and ordered no one to sleep with him. My aunt would go to his room every few hours. Take a look, help him tuck the quilt in winter, and fan the cool wind for him in summer.Every time he was punished by the eldest aunt, it was the younger aunt who pleaded for him. Although she always said that it was for his own good that the eldest aunt treated him so harshly, Hua Wuque felt that the eldest aunt did not treat him as well as the younger aunt That kind of sincerity, and sometimes even showing almost unsearchable hatred.
"Wu Que, let little aunt take a good look at it." Palace Mistress Lian Xing grasped Hua Wu Que's hand and looked carefully, "I'm a little skinny. It's better to go out than not to be in the palace."
A smile appeared on Hua Wuque's always indifferent face at this time, he held the hand of Palace Mistress Lian Xing instead, and said: "Little aunt is too concerned about Wuque, although it's really not as comfortable outside as in the palace, but look Seeing a different scenery will also make you feel better.”
Palace Master Lian Xing looked at the pavilions outside the window, and said quietly: "It is true, no matter how beautiful the scenery in the palace is, I am tired of seeing it after so many years."
The two chatted casually for a while, and Palace Mistress Lian Xing suddenly said seriously: "I came here today, one is to see how you are, and the other is to tell you something."
Hua Wuque lowered his eyes: "Little aunt already knows."
Palace Master Lian Xing sighed: "Not only I know, but your eldest aunt also knows. You let Jiang Xiaoyu go, she is very angry." Her slender fingers gently twiddled the chess pieces on the table, "Remember, don't ruin things because of your children's personal relationship, especially what your eldest aunt told you."
Hua Wuque shook his head: "I let Jiang Xiaoyu go not only because of Tie Xinlan, but also because..." He paused, but still said: "...Because I don't want to kill him myself."
Palace Mistress Lian Xing tightened her hands slightly, and asked calmly, "Why?"
Hua Wuque asked: "Little aunt, do you remember the dream I told you?" He recalled: "When I was a child, I always had nightmares, and it was useless for you to coax them. Later, I dreamed that there was a little boy the same size as me. , he ran and jumped happily in a golden wheat field. I don't know why he was so happy, but I also ran and jumped behind him unconsciously. After that, I stopped having nightmares and almost I can dream of him every day, he grew up with me in the dream, played together, I always thought... thought we were friends."
Palace Mistress Lianxing didn't speak, but just stroked Hua Wuque's hair lovingly.Hua Wuque's mood calmed down slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and asked the question that had been haunting him all this time: "Little aunt, why does eldest aunt want me to kill Xiao Yu'er?"
Palace Mistress Lian Xing lowered her eyes, deliberately not looking at Hua Wuque: "I can't tell you the answer to this question." She paused, and then added: "Don't ask your eldest aunt, so as not to piss her off." Happy." After finishing speaking, she got up in a hurry and said, "I should go, I will see you again in a few days."
Hua Wuque looked at her beautiful palace dress like clouds and long hair like flowing clouds, slightly dazed, only heard Palace Mistress Lianxing's last words before leaving: "If you really like Tie Xinlan, don't get too close to her." Get close, do you still remember the little maid who was close to you when you were young?"
Like Tie Xinlan?No, he has no love for Tie Xinlan at all, just because he saved her twice by chance, so he takes care of her once or twice within his ability, will this harm her?Will the eldest aunt beat her to death like the little palace lady who likes to cling to him and play with him?Hua Wuque looked at the flickering candles with a gloomy expression.
The night was getting deeper, and the cool wind blew into the house along the open doors and windows, and it also carried the fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing.Hua Wuque cleaned up the chessboard and was about to go to bed. He walked to the door and was about to close the door. When he looked up, he found that the Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue, was standing on the stone steps in the distance, looking at him.Hua Wuque hurriedly moved sideways to the door, and stood with his head bowed. A gust of wind passed by, and a figure several feet away had already entered the room.
"Big aunt." Hua Wuque said respectfully.
Palace Master Yaoyue fluttered her skirt, sat down on the chair, and said coldly: "You have only left the palace for a few days, and your heart is wild. How dare you disobey me for the sake of the other woman."
Hua Wuque heard that her tone was cold and full of displeasure, so she had to bow and answer: "Wu Que dare not, Wu Que insulted the teacher's order, failed to kill Jiang Xiaoyu, please be punished by Eldest Aunt, but Wu Que let Jiang Xiaoyu go this time." , not for Tie Xinlan."
Palace Master Yaoyue raised the corners of her mouth and asked with great interest: "Oh? Why is that?"
In front of Palace Master Yaoyue, Hua Wuque didn't dare to speak without any scruples like he did to Lian Xing. He hesitated for a moment and didn't answer directly, but asked the question that Palace Master Lian Xing told him not to ask again: " Why does Big Aunt want me to kill Jiang Xiaoyu?"
Palace Mistress Yaoyue raised her brows high. Although she looks beautiful, she has a bit of fierceness that is rare for women. She made such an expression that people feel daunting: "You don't want to kill him?"
"Wu Que dare not, it's just...it's just that Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't look like a bad guy, he..."
Palace Master Yaoyue slapped the table with a palm, and the teapot and teacup jumped: "Are you questioning me?"
"Wu Que dare not." Hua Wu Que lowered his head. Among the words he said to Palace Master Yaoyue today, this sentence appeared the most times, and it seemed that this sentence was the only one that was correct.
Palace Master Yaoyue stared at Hua Wuque for a long while before slowing down his tone: "Forget it, you performed well in Murong Villa, so I won't care about this matter with you."
Hua Wuque knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only say, "Thank you, Eldest Aunt."
"However, you have to keep in mind that if there is a next time, I will never forgive you."
Hua Wuque bowed his head and replied: "Wu Que remember." Then he quickly changed the subject: "Wu Que is still unclear about one thing. From the words of those people in Murong Villa, it seems that Yihua Palace has a bad reputation in Jiang Hu and has even been included in the How did this misunderstanding come about?"
Palace Master Yaoyue sneered: "They claim to be well-known and upright, and they hug each other. As long as they don't get along with them, they will be called crooked."
Hua Wuque frowned slightly after hearing this, and then heard Palace Master Yaoyue continue to say: "All along, Yihua Palace has done its own way, and your little aunt and I rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes, but it's different now."
Hua Wuque was puzzled: "What's the difference?"
Palace Master Yaoyue said: "You have grown up, as the only male in the palace, of course you have to shoulder the responsibility of Guangda Yihua Palace, you can't just nest in the palace like us." Her slender fingers lightly Along the peony pattern embroidered with gold thread on the sleeve, it depicts, "Since I have left the palace, I have to deal with those Jianghu people, so I will let you save their lives and make them owe you. In this way, It will be easier for you to move around in the rivers and lakes in the future."
Hua Wuque was moved in his heart: "Wuque is incompetent, let my aunt worry about it."
Palace Master Yaoyue looked up at Hua Wuque, and frowned slightly: "I think you seem to have lost a lot of weight, Aunt Ping..." She raised her voice and called out, and a woman in palace clothes came out in response, bowed down and bowed, saying He called out "Grand Palace Master", then turned his head and called out "Young Master" to Hua Wuque.
Palace Master Yaoyue stood up and said, "You have been by Wuque's side since you were a child, and now that he is away from home, there must be capable people by his side. You should stay by his side."
Hua Wuque and Pinggu showed joy at the same time, Palace Master Yaoyue stopped talking, stepped out of the room, and left like a gust of wind.
