box of hearts

Chapter 44: Welcome the Cyclamen (9)
Seeing that he spoke out to care for her, Xihe felt warm in her heart, and the faint heroic spirit between her brows disappeared. She grabbed a purse with eight tassels of silver buckle at her waist with both hands, and lowered her pointed chin, revealing Full of children's mood, "Brother-in-law, I won't be anymore, but I really miss you. You were assassinated last month. Although no evidence can be found afterwards, who else is there besides your mother's family in the 'East'? It's okay. Brother-in-law, you are very skilled, and you only suffered superficial injuries, which prevented their plot from succeeding. Even so, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep well every day. How is your injury? Come here and let me have a look.”

Qi Sheqian stood motionless on the spot, and said in a muffled voice, "The Empress Dowager Lao is asking, it's nothing serious."

"What's 'Empress'?" She immediately rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to grab his hand, "Come here and let me have a look. 'East Side' is too blatant, to dare to do anything in front of your mansion .”

Xihe was deceived by the false news released by the Zhenfusi, but Qi She knew exactly where he was assassinated, and even remembered the longing that was burning in his heart before the assassination.This eagerness surged strangely in the depths of the healed wound again. He looked down at Xihe as he slid a hand up his thigh little by little. Moving chaotic light.

"It's on the leg, isn't it? Where, here? Here? Or here?"

Then she touched his wound.

Suddenly, the scalding heat flowed from the wound to the lower abdomen, causing Qi She to groan in a low voice.There was a strange longing in his eyes, and he pulled Xi He up from the chair.

He just had sex with her at the desk, his fanaticism and brutality were completely different from usual.When it was over, he did it again.

With her breasts bared, Xi He lay on her back in a pile of memorials on a table covered in fine sweat. The sweat melted the handwriting on the papers, leaving faint ink marks on her glistening skin.Satisfied red tides flowed all over her body, but her eyes seemed a little lost, "Brother-in-law, you are very different today." She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but sighed and asked him, "Who are you thinking about?"

Qi She turned a deaf ear to it, just grabbed a handkerchief and threw it to her, her face regained her calmness, "It's very late, I'll ask someone to take you back to Dalongfu Temple. Be careful, don't let people see you." There is a flaw." Immediately after he noticed her ugly face, he had to add another sentence: "I will come to the palace to see you in two days."

After Xihe left, he stood alone in a trance, his eyes passing by the books on the wall, and he took out a book, which was "The Book of Songs", and then casually opened another one, which was "Preparation", "Zi Xi Zi Xi, so What a charm!"—what should I do with you, a beautiful person!

Qi She sighed, how could the love sung in folk songs land on the king's head without discrimination?
However, he immediately became angry at his sadness and weakness, and threw away the book in his hand.He had made up his mind to forget Qingtian, and he would forget her, even if he just got involved with a prostitute in the body of an empress dowager - for God's sake, it was just a prostitute!

Such a lowly person should not have anything to do with his life, no matter before or in the future, whether the woman named Duan Qingtian is good or bad, dead or alive, has nothing to do with him.

6.
This is Qingtian's last moment in this world.She closed her eyes and held the poison to her mouth.

"It's not good, someone is committing suicide! Come up, someone is committing suicide!"

Qingtian shook violently, and was about to drink it all in one gulp, but suddenly heard the footsteps of "嗵嗵" going to the opposite end.She hesitated for a moment, and temporarily let go of the bowl in her hand.

It was Xizhu's old house on the opposite side that turned the world upside down, and Zhaohua, a Qing Dynasty official, now lived there.According to the servant girl, she heard strange movements in the room, so she opened the door to check, and saw Miss Zhaohua hanging her sweat towel on the bed rail, if it was a moment later, it would be hopeless.

Second Sister Duan rushed over after hearing the news. She was overwhelmed with so many things to do all night, and she no longer dared to force Hua Yong.From this side, Qingtian walked around the corridor unsteadily, and walked in with a small bowl in his hand, "Mom, go, I'll persuade my sister."

The second sister Duan stroked Qingtian's back gratefully, "Good boy, please persuade her, she listens to your elder sister the most on weekdays. All right, you all go out with me, and let the two sisters talk Tell me your own words. Sigh, what is going on here? My Huai Ya Tang has encountered some evils recently, one after another! No, I have to go to Zhaoning Temple to do a ritual ceremony tomorrow, there must be something wrong Someone evil is hindering me behind my back, ask me to find out..." All the way while reading, he led a room full of people with their waists up and their chests up.

Qingtian twisted and knocked the door, went to Zhaohua's bed and sat down, put the bowl on the high table beside the bed, "Arsenic."

Zhaohua originally had a face tightly stretched, but after hearing this, Qu Ran paid attention.She saw the corners of Qingtian's mouth with hematoma opening and closing, as if he was talking about a very common thing: "Originally, I prepared it for myself, but now it seems that you need it more, you go first."

Zhaohua stared at her puzzled, with a hint of hesitation.

"Then you just wait for the handover bar that mom will bring you next month." Seeing the situation, Qingtian stretched out his hands and got up.

"Hey!" Zhaohua snatched the bowl first, took it over and drank it upside down, holding the empty bowl in his hand and panting heavily.

Qingtian pulled the bowl out of her hand, put it aside calmly, "I helped you, now it's your turn to help me. For a long time, I have wanted to find someone who can listen to me, and there is no one better than a Dying people are more suitable, so now, listen to me."

Zhaohua seemed to shiver, she put her hand in along her pink butterfly-shaped neckline, and dug it up one after another.

Qingtian stared at her coldly, and continued indifferently: "I have been a courtier for two years, and a courtier for six years, even the leader of the flower list for four or five years. I paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I just ransacked the boxes and cabinets, and only found a private house with less than 1000 taels of silver. I don’t know how much you have heard about me. Let’s put it this way, I gave all my money and love to a man for the rest of my life. He took my money and betrayed my love. Now I have no money, no one, and even a heart in my stomach. The only thing left is this body that does not belong to me. I want to redeem myself , I have to do business for at least another five years. I am already 21 this year. There will be no injustice bucket willing to put a flowery girl like you and spend another five years on me, an old woman. My business It will only get worse and worse, slowly falling into second-class and third-class halls, then to the secret doors on the side of the street, and finally to Yaozi Street, just like the one I took you to see, you will be naked as soon as you come up The best ones are those who pick and choose. The best is to follow a guest, be his concubine, fight among the three concubines, and be kicked out when he falls out of favor, and then go back to his old business. There is only one road in front of me: to be ruined by others until I am too old to be ruined, and I am covered with dirty diseases, buried in the streets and buried in the streets. According to flowers, everything is over for me, and I will be born Hopeless. And you are only 14 years old. You haven’t started anything, but you still choose this path. I think you have more pain than me. If you want, just tell me. I heard that someone is worse than me, maybe I don’t want to die anymore? If you save someone’s life before you die, you will be able to give birth to a good family in the next life.”

Zhaohua stared straight at her eyes, with shock and confusion mixed in her eyes.Gradually, she showed a self-ashamed look, sobbed twice, and cried out "wow", "Sister, I, I, I'm just afraid..."

Qing Tian leaned forward and hugged her slender figure, "Afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"My mother has already personally promised the fifth young master to break the melon for me next month. The fifth young master killed someone before. Anyone who goes against his will will definitely end badly! But me, sister, I, I am not, I am not anymore ..."

A flash of surprise flashed across Qingtian's eyes, she pushed Zhaohua away, and looked carefully, "Is it after arriving at Huaiyatang?"

Zhao Hua nodded silently, tears streaming down her face.

"You little devil, who did you give it to?"

"I, I said, sister, don't laugh at me, that's right, it's Li Yishu who combs our hair. Every time he comes to comb our hair, he talks and laughs, which makes me very happy and makes me think he is a good person. Who would have thought that after combing my hair two days ago, he said he would give me a massage to recuperate, I fell asleep on the bed, and when I woke up, I found that all the girls in the room were gone, that goddamn—— I, I dare not say it, I really lost my life! He coaxed me afterwards and said that he would take money to redeem my body and marry me back home as a wife. I thought that my body was also given to him, what else could I do? He came this afternoon, and I asked him back, but he said that unless I gave him money, he would have no money to redeem me. I was angry, so I said I would tell my mother, but he told me to Just tell it to the ears of Wu Dashao. I thought, paper can’t cover the fire, and Li Yishuang ruined my chastity and didn’t care about me. At that time, Wu Dashao spent money to light big candles, and found that I was just a Those who 'strike the city gate'[9] will definitely beat me to death! Even my mother will not let me go. After thinking about it, I might as well kill myself."
