Da Suining

Chapter 106 Entering the palace and waiting for me
A sorcerer was invited to see it, and he said that Baxi had been entered into the roster by Lord Yama, and that he would not survive.

Just when there was no way out, an old man came and said that he looked at Baxi pitifully, and he was willing to buy him for ten taels of silver, treat his illness later, find him a job, and take care of the food.

Baxi was young, so he didn't expect him to be able to work and support the family, but the old man said that he could treat Baxi's illness, which was undoubtedly an attractive condition.

If you don't sell it to the old man, Baxi will die.

Sell ​​it to the old man, maybe there is still a way to survive.

That's why he signed the contract of prostitution and asked the old man to carry Baxi away.

It was agreed at the time that Yueniang could still visit Baxi once every six months.

But when they met again half a year later, Yueniang knew that Baxi had been purged and sent to the palace to be a little eunuch.

It's not that he didn't think about making a fuss about this matter and finding the old man to settle the score, but it's a done deal, and Baxi was sent to the palace again to find an errand. Making a fuss about this matter will only let more people know that Baxi is a eunuch. What are the benefits of living in the future?The things in the crotch, if lost, are lost, and can never be retrieved.

There is no turning back.

Yueniang had to endure all this with tears in her eyes.

The fire could not be contained in the paper, and the neighbors heard the news from nowhere, and knew about Baxi, so the gossip about Yueniang selling her son to beg Rong and sending her own son to be a eunuch never stopped.

At that time, Yueniang cried during the day and at night.

Fearing that something might happen to her, Xu Jun had no choice but to move.

Since then, I have been unable to contact Baxi for a long time.

Xu Jun's words made Mr. Nie fall into contemplation. After thinking about it, he also slapped himself: "I didn't expect Yueniang to go through such a thing. At the beginning, I thought she was quite beautiful, and she was considered a human being." Diligent, and able to speak a few more words, so...so...my brain became hot, and I slept with her. "

What Mr. Nie said, Xu Jun didn't seem to hear it. He stared at the body of Yueniang from a distance, the body of the woman he once loved and said he would protect her for the rest of his life. But, what is the reason that the two people who were originally in harmony and wanted to grow old in the same bed with different dreams gradually drifted apart?

He has never stopped these years, and even worked harder than others, but life is difficult. Apart from money, I don’t know what else can repair the poverty of the family, and this poverty has tortured the original kindness. .

Or maybe Baxi was irritated by the matter of purifying Yueniang. From then on, whenever she thought of it, she would argue with Xu Jun.

Feelings, arguing and arguing, fade away.

"Before, Yueniang told me that she had a son who was a eunuch in the palace. I still didn't believe it. I just thought she was lying to me. I never thought it was true." Master Nie sighed: "Yueniang once said, She owed her son a lot, so she wanted to earn more money to make up for the child. So she was not happy when I gave her clothes, food, etc. overtly and secretly, and always wanted to get some money from me to hide. I just thought she was greedy. , Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for the parents of the world."

The words of Xu Jun and others made Ba Xi suddenly realize, his clenched hands loosened, and he almost lay down on the ground: "What you said is true? Didn't my mother abandon me on purpose?"

"Your mother is dead, why should we help her lie to you." Xu Jun said leisurely: "If you don't believe it, the old man who bought you back then should still be alive. He always knew the truth. Your mother wanted to treat you. , in order to let you have a way out, I had to hand you over to someone else, the heart is sinister, the old man sent eunuchs to the palace, not to mention your mother is a woman, even I am a man, I didn't know his face back then .”

"It turns out that my mother still cares about me."

"Since you entered the palace, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, your mother has never stopped fasting, and she doesn't hope that you will become prosperous. She only asks you to be safe and well. Because of her guilt towards you, she didn't even want a child."

"My mother has failed you, don't you hate her?"

"I hated it back then, but now she is dead. Thinking about her life, she has lived a pitiful life."

"Poor. Yes, poor." Baxi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with all her strength, and glanced at Xiang Suining with a gloomy expression, as if she had something to say to her.

Xiang Suining took two steps forward, getting closer to him.

"I know that Eunuch loves you, and you also want to avenge him. Everything is my fault, hehe... Although I had a hard life when I entered the palace, fortunately, Eunuch Chang is sympathetic to me. Since then, no one has bullied me in the palace. I also saved some money. Later, I couldn't bear...the temptation and went to the gambling house. Since then, almost all the money has been thrown there...At first, my father-in-law paid the debt for me, and later...because I love Bet, he also scolded me... Now that I think about it, I am the same as my unworthy father... I should scold..."

"Why did the person who brought you food poison you?"

"Because they ordered me to do it, I was imprisoned. He was afraid that things would be revealed, so he wanted to finish me off." Baxi's breath was weak, her face was as white as paper, and her ten fingernails began to turn black and blue: "Second The prince Guo Kai, I heard that Eunuch Chang went to ask the emperor for mercy... He felt disgraced if he refused to let you marry him. Get rid of my father-in-law. I thought... If I get rid of my father-in-law, I can just leave his family property, those calligraphy and painting antiques, and pay off my gambling debts... I am not a human being... I was afraid of stabbing my father-in-law to resist, so I went ahead Smothered him with yellow paper, and then stabbed him in the heart."

Recalling these things, Baxi wished to slap herself a few times.

In the past, he felt that others were sorry for him, so he felt resentful.

Thinking about it now, whether it is Yueniang or Chang Gonggong, they are all very good to him.

What did he do?
He forced Yueniang to death and killed Eunuch Chang.

He hurt two of the people who were best for him.

Baxi winked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu fumbled in his boots following the direction of his eyes, and found a short knife.

The dagger is inlaid with precious stones, luxurious and delicate.

"Miss Xiang, this short knife was used by the second prince to kill Chang Gonggong... I was careful at the beginning, and after I used it up, I told him... I lost the short knife, this is the proof, please give it to Zhou grown ups……"

The dagger was cold and heavy in his hand.

Baxi let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had lifted the boulder that was pressing on her chest, she felt much lighter.

He lay down on the ground, looking in the direction of Yueniang, holding the wet floor of the cell with his hands, crawling towards Yueniang's side bit by bit, the blood in his mouth kept flowing down, wet his clothes, he The place where he crawled was a long bloody road.

He tried to touch Yueniang's face, but couldn't reach it.

He tried to put his hand on Yueniang's, but couldn't touch it.

He smiled at Yueniang, his eyes were full of tears, his lips moved vigorously, and the "gurgling" in his throat seemed to take a sip of hookah: "Mother—wait for me—"

The sound of "Mother" gradually weakened, like the setting sun in the evening, falling lower and lower, and then there was nothing.

Baxi fell on the ground, no more pain, no more tears.

he died.

His hand kept stretching forward, but unfortunately he couldn't reach Yueniang's hand in the end.

The aroma in the food box gradually dissipated.

The entire cell was nearly vomited out.

When Master Zhou arrived, the food box and food had been sealed up as evidence, and the two corpses in the cell had been covered with white cloth.

Following Baxi's wishes, Xiang Suining presented the dagger to Mr. Zhou.

Baxi's words were also told to Master Zhou.

Mr. Zhou was obviously taken aback.

This case was already very difficult, but now the second prince is involved?

How can this be good?

Mr. Zhou doesn't want to accept the dagger, he doesn't want to report on the second prince himself, and to bite the second prince is to bite the emperor, isn't it?How about that?

Xiang Suining had no choice but to remind him: "Master Zhou, Baxi was poisoned to death in the prison cell, the emperor will always have to confess, and the funeral of Chang Gonggong can't wait any longer. There are many pairs of eyes in Qingcheng, waiting for Master Zhou to give me a message." result."

Mr. Zhou did not spend decades in the officialdom for nothing, he suddenly had an idea: "Miss Xiang Er also contributed to solving this case, please come with me to the palace to meet the emperor."

Xiang's family is not very happy to let Xiang Suining enter the palace with Master Zhou.

Xiangyan first walked around the yard several times in a hurry, and got angry, even took off the hibiscus flower from the hairpin on her temples and crushed it: "What trick did she use? Take her into the palace to face the saint."

Xiang Daying also didn't want the girl from Xiang's family to deal with the officials. After all, in this era, women would be female celebrities at home, read the "Book of Songs", and learn to make some rose cream, and the time would be wasted. Is it to show your face and go to the palace to face the saint? Is this to make a female number one scholar?
Mrs. Xiang is the most open-minded: "The second girl's busy business is not a personal matter, but a matter of human life. Since Mr. Zhou thinks highly of her, and for the sake of those lives, the second girl should go this way. The second girl is young Young, courageous and insightful, we should praise him."

Mrs. Xiang has already said this, and it is difficult for others to say more.

On the day of entering the palace to meet the emperor, it rained.

The day is not unusual, but the eighth day of July.

At the beginning, the sky was still clear, and Qingcheng Mountain was glowing with silver light, which was the light of the rising sun.

A wind from nowhere came from the side of Qingcheng Mountain, making the little beasts on the roof groan, the flags of the darts fluttering "hula-la", the water was wrinkled, and People's dresses are bulging like the curtains of sailboats on the sea, blowing sand and rocks, and the fine sand is so charming that people can hardly keep their eyes open.

The wind blew the clouds away, and a layer of black clouds covered it from nowhere, dark and fat, like a monster in a nightmare, lying lazily on top of Qingcheng, motionless, it took a long time to turn over The body made a rumbling sound.

On the official road leading to the gate of the imperial city, a sapphire carriage came hurriedly.

Xiang Suining and Master Zhou got off the carriage at the gate of the imperial city, handed over the sign, and entered through the side door to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor lived.

Perhaps it was because the sky was cloudy, the air was humid and dull, and the black cloud rolled over the top of the head and would not disperse. The crows in the imperial city seemed to be frightened, flapping their wings one by one, circling the feeding place The wooden pole kept swooping down, occasionally there was a thunderclap, and the crow screamed and flew away.

The wooden pole stood tall, but it was empty before feeding the crows.

I still remember the day when I first met Baxi, Xiang Suining raised his head in the same way, just in time to see Baxi climbing a wooden pole with a rope tied around his waist to feed the crows.Eunuch Chang was worried about his safety, and cursed, "Little bastard, I don't know how to be careful." His eyes were full of love that couldn't be hidden.

The old man is gone.

Empty memory.

Gradually the rain fell.

"It's a coincidence that we got wet." Master Zhou wiped his forehead with his sleeve: "It's not good to be disrespectful in front of the emperor. Let's go quickly, so as not to soak our clothes."

Master Zhou walked a little faster.

Xiang Suining always kept a distance of two or three steps from him, neither in a hurry nor loose.

"Get out of the way—" A maroon pony brushed past Xiang Suining, almost pushing Xiang Suining back to the ground.

The maroon horse is shorter than ordinary horses, more like a little donkey, chubby, with trembling buttock muscles when running in, it is very cute.

This kind of short horse, Xiang Suining, has been seen on Tianqiao, and it is usually used for viewing.

I don't know who it is, who is so cruel, and actually rides on it.

Who else could I see as soon as I looked up, it was Guo Cheng.

Guo Kai was tall and big, and he sat on the pony with his buttocks, causing the pony to gasp and gasp. Now it was raining, and the pony was a little frightened and wanted to break free from the reins. Guo Kai raised his whip high and pointed at the pony. After a few twitches, the pony clumsily carried him forward in pain.

In the palace, literati got off their sedan chairs, and generals got off their horses.This is the rule.

Guo Kai actually rode a horse through the palace, he was so courageous.

Or this palace is owned by others, if they are willing to walk sideways or vertically, Xiang Suining has no right to be dry.

Seeing that it was Guo Kai, Xiang Suining intentionally avoided her, but Guo Kai still recognized her just by looking at the back of her head, he reined in the reins, and made the pony back a few steps, almost parallel to Xiang Suining.

"Isn't this Miss Xianger?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing in the palace?"

"Miss Xianger will help you break it..." Mr. Zhou tried to get close to Guo Kai, but Guo Kai didn't look at him at all: "I'm talking to Miss Xianger, please don't interrupt me."

Mr. Zhou was also very helpless, he was the majesty of Qingcheng Prefecture who was personally appointed by the emperor, and he became an idler in Guo Kai's place.

The second prince can't afford it.

Mr. Zhou was secretly glad that Xiang Suining had slipped here, otherwise he would go to the emperor to sue Guo Kai later, and Guo Kai would have killed him?With Xiang Suining, the matter of offending others is left to her.

Master Zhou secretly sighed at his wit.

"Miss Xiang Er, what are you doing in the palace?" Guo Kai smiled, "Don't miss me as your husband, right?"

"Boring." Xiang Suining quickened his pace.

"Yo, I just like how energetic you are. When you become mine one day, I'll see if you're still stubborn." Guo Kai swallowed at Xiang Suining.

"Shameless."

"It's not the first day I was shameless, the more you say I'm shameless, the more itchy I feel." Guo Kai said happily: "Let's listen to some more curses."

Xiang Suining didn't want to talk to him.

Instead, the little eunuch who was serving him caught up and begged him out of breath: "It's raining, the second prince is careful to catch a cold, the concubine concubine has already prepared soup for the second prince, the second prince should hurry over, don't let concubine he catch a cold." Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Guo Kai finally let Xiang Suining go, and rode his bay red pony to the direction of Heyiyuan where his mother lived.
