Concubine like a house

Chapter 83 This Hate Has Nothing to Do with the Wind and the Moon (2)
Chuxiu thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Then go back and rest today." "But I want to hear my sister-in-law play the piano." Yun Muge hurriedly said, "I have to practice my ears first." Practice your ears?Chuxiu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse, he smiled and said, "Well, I'll play a few simple ones first, you listen to it." Having said that, he settled down, sat down, and started to play a small tune.It has been a year or two since the last time I played the piano in Chuxiu, and it was also in this quiet garden.She still remembered that when she was playing the piano, there was the sound of flutes outside the wall.Since then, things have happened one after another, and she has no chance to play the piano again, and now her hands are stiff.Chuxiu patiently wrapped up the armor, and began to practice his hands by playing with the strings of the zither.

The short and quiet tune flows slowly from her fingers, which has a calming effect.At first, Yun Muge listened with admiration and seriousness, but after a while, maybe it was too late, she dozed off, shaking her head every now and then, resting her elbows on the stone table and resting her chin to sleep caught.

Chuxiu was still immersed in playing the piano without realizing it, and it was difficult for Zhu Yang to interrupt.Originally, tonight was to teach Yun Muge to play the piano, but after playing it a few times, she also found the feeling of playing the piano in the past, so she changed the tune and played it seriously.

Just halfway through the sad and wan wan playing of "Bao Xing Ren", there was a sudden sound of xiao xiao from outside the wall.Not in a hurry, stuck in the rhythm, just in harmony with the sound of the piano.Chuxiu couldn't help raising his spirits, and played more precisely and steadily.Finding a bosom friend is like meeting an opponent in chess, and it is fun and dripping.It wasn't until the end of the song that Chuxiu felt relieved, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Yun Muge had fallen asleep. "You send the second lady back to Qingyin Pavilion!" Chuxiu said to Zhu Yang, and said with a smile, "I will go back to Zhiyanxuan by myself." It is more convenient for the female guard, such as the current situation.Zhu Yang hesitated for a while, and replied: "Madam, let the nursing home give you a ride." "Alright." Chuxiu did not refuse, "Nowadays, there are few people in Yunfu, and no one can plot against me. Are you still afraid?" Did I have an accident on the way? Go! Don't let the second lady catch a cold." Zhu Yang didn't insist on hearing this, and leaned over to pick up the sleeping Yun Muge, and left Jingyuan first.Chuxiu sat alone in front of the stone table for a while, thinking of the sound of a flute outside the wall, he felt very kind.She thought about it, it seemed impolite for her to leave like this, so she made a few ending notes on the piano, as a farewell to the flute player.This time, the flute outside the wall did not respond.Could it be that the flute player has left?While going out of Xiuxiu, he got up holding the piano tool, planning to return to Zhiyanxuan.Who would have thought that just as she turned her head, she saw a dark purple figure standing under the pavilion, a full head taller than her, with a golden mask covering her face, standing quietly behind her.When he came out of Xiuxiu, his face paled in an instant, and he was so frightened that he missed the piano and dropped it on the ground.There was only a sound of "bang" accompanied by the sound of the strings breaking, and a crack had fallen out of a well-endowed piano.Chuxiu couldn't care less about these things, he quickly took a step back and exclaimed, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Now that there is no treasury in Jingyuan, and the guards have been strengthened, why was this man wearing a golden mask able to break in easily, but was not found by the guard?
But obviously, the other party didn't mean to reply.The pure gold mask reflects the lights of the pavilion, flashing a radiance.The man behind the mask only exposed the part below the nasal bone, with a stiff jaw and tight lips, as if trying to hide his anger or disappointment?

Chuxiu saw that the other party had been silent and did not intend to hurt anyone, so he stabilized his mind a little, and asked again: "Who is your Excellency?"

At this point, the man in purple finally moved his body slightly, his deep eyes behind the mask glowed with a special luster, and he only stared at Chuxiu carefully.There was amazement and surprise in his eyes, but more of it was...unbelievable.

He slowly raised his right hand that was hanging in the shadows, holding a flute in his hand: "I don't intend to offend you, but I just heard the sound of the qin, and I was yearning for it, so I couldn't help but go into the mansion to have a look."

For some reason, Chuxiu only felt that the man's voice was extremely low, as if there was sadness that could not be concealed.She couldn't see his expression behind the mask, so she could only judge by feeling that the man in front of her should be the person playing the flute outside the wall.And those who can play such a beautiful flute sound should not be some ulterior motives.

Chuxiu looked down at his well-knit right hand and the flute held by slender fingers, and asked in a calm tone, "Do you know where this is?"

"Yunfu." The voice of the man in purple was deeper than before.Chuxiu's vermilion lips parted slightly, her face was like a fairy in the lake, she raised her eyes and said softly to him: "I am a widow, and I occasionally play the piano to make me happy. Since your Excellency has seen the true face of this concubine, please leave quickly." She After thinking for a while, she added: "Your Excellency, I hope you didn't see what happened tonight. Farewell." After saying that, she bent down and picked up the broken piano on the ground, and walked down the corridor quickly with her arms in her arms.After walking a few steps, Chuxiu remembered something again, so he stopped and looked back.The man in purple was still standing in the pavilion, staring at her at the bottom of the steps through the mask, his figure was very... lonely and desperate. "Did you lose a jade flute? Please also tell the address to the mansion. I will send someone to return it tomorrow." Chuxiu looked up at the other party, waiting for his reply.Unexpectedly, the man in purple swayed after hearing the words, as if he had suffered a huge blow, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mrs. Chuxiu..." These four words seemed to be doubtful but also confirmed.Chuxiu thought of the sound of the other party's flute, and thought it was a person obsessed with rhythm, so she replied frankly: "It's my concubine." She just finished speaking, but in the blink of an eye, a purple-gold light flashed in the corridor.Immediately afterwards, the man in purple disappeared without a trace.like a dream...

After Nie Peixiao came out of Yunfu Jingyuan, she just felt in a daze, and she didn't know how she got back to Prince Mu's Mansion.Ever since he learned that the person playing the qin was not Yun Xiangrong, he came to the back wall of Yun Mansion every night, only hoping to hear the qin sound that haunted his dreams again.

After waiting for many days, I finally heard it again tonight!Almost as soon as the tune sounded, he was sure that the person playing the piano was the woman he liked, so he took out the jade flute to match it, hoping to express his love for him.

But when the song ended, there was no more sound of the piano in the courtyard.He couldn't hold back his longing and exploration for many days, so he jumped into the quiet garden from the back wall, and joined forces with the guards to knock out several guards, wanting to find out where they are.

Taking out the golden mask prepared in advance and putting it on, following the flickering lights, Nie Peixiao saw a fairy-like figure in the distance, dressed in white snow and snow, supernatural and refined, sitting in front of the piano table and talking to another person.

He approached slowly, not wanting to disturb the beauty, so he hid in the dark and held his breath, asking himself that even the world's best masters could not easily discover this body technique.Sure enough, he deceived the female guard, but he also heard something that shocked him:

"You send Second Miss back to Qingyin Pavilion! I will go back to Zhiyanxuan by myself." "Now that there are few people in Yunfu, and no one can plot against me, are you still afraid that something will happen to me on the way? Go! Don't let Second Miss catch a cold gone."

Since this woman in white calls others "Second Miss", she is naturally not Yun Muge.Nie Peixiao couldn't help approaching, and at a glance recognized this beautiful woman who had met him once - on the day of Yunci's wedding.At first he thought she was a favored maidservant of the Yunfu, but the subsequent conversation made his heart fall into an endless abyss...

This woman in white turned out to be...the head mistress of Lixinhou's Mansion!According to the legend, Mrs. Chuxiu is decisive, ruthless, unscrupulous, and relies on her posthumous child to be in power!It was the widow he once despised deeply!

How could he believe it, how could he accept it!After returning to Prince Mu's Mansion, Nie Peixiao broke into the wine cellar without saying a word, unsealed the fine wines that his seventh brother had privately hidden one by one, and got himself drunk with a sullen head.

Such a beautiful woman... If he hadn't seen her face, if he hadn't spoken to her, he would have only admired her - he admired this woman's Qin Xin, and her incomparably tacit understanding.

However, the moment she saw her true face, the moment she heard her chatting and laughing with the female guard... In a blink of an eye, Nie Peixiao suddenly felt that she had known her for a long time, as if they had already been linked in the cycle of reincarnation. Tripped countless times.Her every word and deed, every frown and smile, are so consistent with the shadow in his heart!

He was suffocated by a heartbeat he had never experienced before, and he almost lost his composure.After finally suppressing the ecstasy, she wanted to confirm her identity...and finally got such a cruel fact!

Her mind was dizzy, and Nie Peixiao couldn't let go of the throbbing pain in her chest. It was as if a soft object had been pierced into her heart, which was pinched, embedded, painful, and uncomfortable.

A 19-year-old beautiful widow, if it is someone else's widow, it's fine, but it's Yun's... This identity alone separates the two of them on both sides of the world, not to mention being bosom friends, even if they want to be open It's impossible to go back and forth... Nie Peixiao wanted to laugh, but she felt bitter when she smiled. In the end, she didn't know how many jars of wine she drank and how many varieties she mixed. In short, he was drunk and had no scruples for the first time He fell drunk in the wine cellar, not knowing how to comfort this absurd heartbeat.

At the moment when he was drunk, a light flashed in the dim wine cellar, and it was the golden mask in his arms that fell out.Nie Peixiao reached out to pick it up, and slowly exerted force, there was a sound of metal shattering, and the golden mask, as thin as a cicada's wings, was broken into two pieces... It was night, he had a dream, and the dream was full of It is a beautiful face, with obsessive sparkles under the dim lights, sometimes calm and dignified, sometimes smiling like a flower, sometimes panicked, sometimes calm and polite... "Now the Yunfu is sparsely populated, and no one can figure it out." Me, are you still afraid that something will happen to me on the road?..."

The words Mrs. Chuxiu once said were deeply imprinted in Nie Peixiao's mind.Reminiscent of the secrets of the Yun Mansion that were rumored in the world, he could almost imagine how much persecution this woman has gone through and how much pressure she has withstood.

Even in his dream, he felt a deep pain in his heart.

When she woke up the next day, Nie Peixiao was already on the couch in her room.The hangover fatigue and needle-like headache made it difficult for him to get up, and when he thought of the words "Mrs. Chuxiu", he felt that last night was a nightmare.

He got up slowly, and was about to call the guards to enter, but he caught sight of two broken masks on the table.With just one glance, the feeling of heartache from last night returned... This is not a dream!Everything is true!
In an instant, Nie Peixiao made a decision - to leave Fangzhou!Never associate with Yun's again! "Feng Fei." He called the guard hoarsely. "Your Highness." Feng Fei led the order to enter the room, and behind him several maids filed in to serve and wash.Nie Peixiao got up to get dressed, picked up the teapot on the table without saying a word, and drank a pot of cold tea in one go.At this point, the burning thirst in his throat was relieved, and he asked Feng Fei again: "Where is Seventh Brother now?" Feng Fei hesitated for a moment before replying truthfully: "His Royal Highness Mu Wang is currently waiting in the living room to meet... Mrs. Chuxiu With a bang, Nie Peixiao put down the glazed teapot in his hand heavily, stared in silence for a moment, and then said:

"Changing clothes for me..."
