Jiao Luan

Chapter 36 Seeing

Cheng Wei's back was drenched in cold sweat in an instant. In the twelfth lunar month, the jacket on her body was wet, making her extremely uncomfortable. She felt that she had fallen into a hole in the ice and could not get out again.

The room was full of festive atmosphere, as if separated from Cheng Wei by an invisible barrier, she couldn't see it with her eyes, and the congratulatory sounds that fell into her ears were like annoying mosquitoes buzzing, making her headaches.

But at this time, no one noticed Cheng Wei's strangeness, and they all kept asking questions around the concubine who was pregnant with Long Sun.

In the midst of the festive excitement, the little maid Tingge reported at the door: "Second Miss is here."

Cheng Ya looked at the old lady Meng Shi: "Is it the second sister, I may not have seen her for a long time."

The old lady was in a good mood at the moment, she listened to the song and said to the little maid: "Second girl, please come in."

Not long after, Cheng Yao, who was dressed in a goose-yellow jacket and skirt, came in. Her facial features were elegant, and the milky white pearl earrings on her ears made her more gentle and generous. Walking like this, she never brought the cold outside, but brought a ray of spring breeze brought in.

"Greetings to the princess, to the grandmother..."

Cheng Ya hurriedly helped her up, looked her up and down, and praised: "I haven't seen my second sister for a long time, and my second sister is more and more charming."

Cheng Ya didn't pay much attention to this concubine when she was a young girl. At that time, she had the title of a quasi-princess, and she was busy learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework, and she was a housekeeper and director. She used her occasional leisure time to care about her. The younger sister who has been neglected by her mother since she was born.It was only later that when she moved into the East Palace, the third sister often came to the palace to accompany her, and nine times out of ten she would bring the second sister with her, so she gradually became deeply impressed with this gentle, generous and talented concubine.

Cheng Yao smiled gently: "Big sister said so, Yao'er dare not stand in front of you."

"I was at my grandmother's place just now, why didn't I see my second sister?" Cheng Ya just remembered that she didn't see Cheng Yao when she was in Nian Song Tang.

Cheng Yao's eyelids closed slightly: "These days I have been copying the scriptures behind closed doors. My grandmother is kind and said that only meditation can show sincerity, so she spared my greetings. Since the third sister came back, I have been thinking about it. I always have to see each other to be at ease. Unfortunately, yesterday Third sister rested early, and came here again today."

The fifth girl, Cheng Yu, who had been snuggling up to the eldest lady Liao's side all this time, regained her spirits and said excitedly, "Second Sister, did you bring yesterday's gift?"

She heard the rumors that Cheng Wei was insane early in the morning, and she thought that seeing the third sister hit her head on the bed yesterday was really scary. Great forgetfulness, thinking of the dreamlike embroidery I saw yesterday, I forgot everything excitedly, ran to the side of the Crown Princess Cheng Ya, twittered and said: "Eldest sister, you don't know, the second sister was going to give it to you yesterday. Third sister's gift is simply too beautiful."

She said to urge Cheng Yao: "Second sister, open it quickly and let the eldest sister have a look."

"Fifth Sister—" Cheng Yao seemed a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yu's childlike nature couldn't hold back, so she simply snatched the "Thousand Blessings Picture" that Cheng Yao was holding, and unfolded it to the Crown Princess Cheng Ya with a laugh.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Big sister."

Although the voice was not as bright and joyful as Cheng Yu's, but there was unspeakable fear and despair in the coldness, making people unable to help but look for the source of the voice.

Cheng Ya, who was already concerned about the younger sister's body, looked over immediately, seeing Cheng Wei's expression suddenly changed: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone looked over and forgot to pay attention to the "Thousands of Blessings" that Cheng Yuzheng showed for Cheng Yao. They saw that Cheng Wei, who had been looking at him just now, looked pale, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead where the gauze didn't cover it.

Cheng Ya's heart tightened, wondering if the third sister was really abnormal as rumored?Thinking of this, I felt more and more uncomfortable, and couldn't help reaching out to shake Cheng Wei's hand, but the tentacles were icy cold.

"Third Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell Eldest Sister."

"Big sister." Cheng Wei secretly bit the tip of his tongue, tasted the faint sweet smell, and forced himself to temporarily suppress the boundless panic, and said in a trembling voice, "You...can you take off the cloth scarf for me?"

"Cloth towel?" Hearing what Cheng Wei said, Cheng Ya hesitated.On the way to Feixuju, Mrs. Han had already quietly mentioned it to her. The third sister had covered her eyes with a black cloth towel since she woke up, and she refused to take it off. Anyone who asked her to take it off would lose her temper.

Cheng Wei nodded lightly: "Well, it's just a black cloth towel blindfolded, can big sister help me?"

"Okay." Seeing that Cheng Wei was willing to take off the cloth towel, Cheng Ya thought it was a good omen, so she couldn't help showing a smile, and stretched out her hands, gently brushing Cheng Wei's messy hair back, and then Slowly released the towel.

The moment he took off the cloth towel, he felt the light spot jumping on his eyelids, Cheng Wei had the urge to run away, but forcibly held back.

At this time, she has no way out, she always... always wants to see what big sister looks like.

Big sister must grow old safely, must grow old safely.

Cheng Wei meditated in his heart, closing his eyes for a long time without opening them.

"Third sister?"

"Big sister, can you stay away from me first? Well, how about sitting next to grandma?"

Cheng Ya followed Cheng Wei's wishes and walked to the old lady Meng: "Sanmei, I'll sit down."

Cheng Wei took a deep breath to fight against the endless panic in her heart. Although she silently prayed for Cheng Ya's safety, the tragic scenes she saw successively cast a deep shadow on her heart. Get ready to see the tragedy again.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Wei finally mustered up the courage to open his eyes.

She hadn't seen the light for a long time, and her eyes were a little stinging. She squinted for a long time before slowly opening them again. After the initial bewilderment, she looked at Cheng Ya nervously.

Cheng Ya, who was wearing a red woven golden phoenix persimmon pedicle pattern sleeve jacket, although her appearance was only average, Cheng Wei was familiar with the smile on her mouth, and the affection in her eyes.

She couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to smile when her eyes suddenly changed.

It was a dark room, the windows were airtight, several women came in and out, carrying basins of bloody water.

Cheng Wei raised his heart and looked towards the position of the bed, only to see a woman lying on it with a high swollen abdomen, no longer struggling, her lower body was actually naked, and blood was gurgling out from her lower body.

"Big sister!" Cheng Wei screamed, but found that she didn't make any sound, but heard many voices suddenly.

A middle-aged woman surrounded by the bed shouted: "It's not good, the princess is out of breath, the fetus is stillborn, mother and child are dead!"

Followed by the sound of messy footsteps and crying.

Cheng Wei covered her mouth, it was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Having seen the tragic scene several times, she already understood in her heart that this was the end of the big sister!

The fetus was stillborn, and both mother and child died!
Why, are all her relatives cursed?
At this time, Cheng Wei's perspective changed, and he actually saw the scene outside the dark room.

"What, stillborn?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, yes..."

"Bastard!" A soap boot embroidered with a four-clawed python pattern kicked at the person who answered, his voice was as cold as ice, "Since the grandson was not saved, then you can be buried with the princess."

Amidst the heaven-shattering cries, a woman with a blurred face came out of a room on one side, saw the prince without saluting, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, if you agree, I may give it a try and see if I can save the prince." Sun."

"What can you do?" The man in the python robe grabbed the woman's hand.

The woman's vermilion lips pursed slightly, and her voice was calm: "This method is inconvenient for outsiders to explain."

The man waved away the crowd, the woman leaned in and said a few words in his ear, the man's expression changed drastically, and finally he nodded suspiciously: "Then... just give it a try."

Cheng Wei couldn't hear what the woman said, and followed her into the dark room with her eyes, only to see her wave away the crowd, leaving only the middle-aged woman, and then found a box from nowhere, opened it, and it was A row of knives and scissors of different sizes.

Cheng Wei couldn't understand what the woman was going to do next, but the hairs all over her body stood up unconsciously.

Then, she saw the woman with a blurred face holding a knife and scissors and scratching at the swollen belly of the pregnant woman on the bed. Then she reached in, groped for a while, and pulled out a blood-stained baby.

Cheng Wei was mentally prepared to see the tragic scene, but she never expected that what she actually saw was always more terrifying than imagined, and such horror was definitely not acceptable to a 13-year-old girl like her.

She screamed and started to run, but stopped halfway.

No, she still hasn't seen clearly what the woman who cut her elder sister's belly open looks like!
Then, she saw Cheng Yao's startled face.
