Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"It's hard to separate old lovers when they meet, right?"

This sentence was stabbed like a needle, pierced into my heart, my brow froze slightly, and my steps stopped subconsciously.

The room was quiet.

After a while, Mu Hua's sneer sounded again: "I can remind you that she was an emperor's woman. If you want to accept something, you must first prepare for the emperor."

"Don't think wildly."

"I'm cranky? What do you do to bring her back for a few days?"

There was a suffocating silence in the room for a long time. After a long time, Huang Tianba's low voice with a trace of burnout said, "I'm tired. I will talk about something tomorrow."

"You are tired, of course you are tired. When you see that sweat towel, you go to her desperately, how could you not be tired. But now that the person is in front of you, it is convenient to do anything. Is it tomorrow? Is it time for you to celebrate? "

"Mu Hua!" Huang Tianba's tone was a bit heavy, but after calling his wife's name, he was silent for a moment, slowed down and said slowly: "I went to her because I knew she must have an accident, Otherwise, the emperor will not be in Yangzhou, but she lives here and still lives by selling embroidery. Now she has to flee Yangzhou. I go to save her, not what you think. "

"Not what I think ?!"

There was a sound of rumbling over the boxes in the room, and then a slamming sound, Mu Hua took something on the table and said, "Then you tell me clearly, what is going on ?!"

I was shocked. I didn't know what she took out. Huang Tianba was silent for a long time. When she spoke again, the low voice seemed a bit weak: "I said, this is just a jade flute."

"It's just a jade flute, hum, I don't think it's that simple."

"..."

"She has been frowning with you since she was in Yangzhou. How many times have you been in private, you never told me."

"Mu Hua, that is a thing of the past, and the relationship between me and Qingying is not what you think."

"It's not what I think. What's that? Why did she give you this jade flute? What does she mean?"

"I have said many times that this jade flute is not from Qingying, but she gave it to me on behalf of Pei Yuanchen. The whole thing has nothing to do with her."

"You lied to me!" Mu Hua shouted suddenly, choking a bit, and said unwillingly, "You are clearly unforgettable about her old love, right? Just because she is an emperor's woman, you didn't go with her Together. Now that she has left the emperor, you don't have to worry about it! "

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn't talk nonsense! Over the years, I have asked you so many times to throw away this jade flute, and you are not willing to do so. You are just here to stay, to see the real thing, right?"

"..."

"talk!"

Huang Tianba seemed to be gritting his teeth, and finally sighed, "No."

"you're lying!"

When Mu Hua finished speaking, he cried. The sobbing cry seemed to be a special sadness in such a night, and I listened and listened in silence, but felt as if there was a stone in my heart. The pressure was so heavy that I couldn't continue breathing.

I don't know how long, she still cried.

Huang Tianba's shadow was cast on the window. I don't know why. Perhaps it was because he was very thin. The shadow looked particularly thin and tired. Once Taishan pressed his back without bending down, he bent slightly at this moment. Slowly walked in front of Mu Hua, squatted down, and looked up at her.

"Mu Hua, it's getting late, rest early and don't cry."

"No!" Mu Hua choked loudly: "If you don't tell me clearly today, you won't sleep!"

"You-what the **** do you want me to say?"

"Say, what's going on with her! Tell me if you like her!"

"No."

"You lied to me!"

...

I slowly turned around and walked back to the room step by step. Although I had been resting for a long time, I felt tired all over at this time. I felt as if I had all my strength exhausted and pushed the door again. At that time, people almost fell down.

As soon as I walked back to the room, the moment I closed the door, the door on that side was suddenly opened.

I stood in the room and watched the familiar figure come out through the gap in the door. The door behind was open and the lights were bright, and I could hear the broken sound of things falling to the ground, which seemed extremely harsh in the night.

Huang Tianba stood at the door, raised his head silently and closed his eyes.

In the moonlight, his face was suffocating perfectly, but there was the most painful sorrow on it.

I don't know how long, he opened his eyes and walked out without looking back.

.

I also know that I shouldn't go to him at this time, but looking at the pale expression on his face just now, his tired expression, his heart is still like a knife cut.

No wonder he will be so tired and look so helpless when he returns home.

How exhausted is a person to be tired even when he returns home?

I stood for a long time holding the door frame, still pushed open the door and walked out. Within the house behind her, Mu Hua was still crying and falling, and the broken voice stabbed people into pain. When I walked to the gate, I saw Huang Tianba leap forward, leap onto a towering tree in the distance, and sit down slowly.

When the moon is clear, the thousands of miles of clear radiance seem to condense a layer of frost on the whole world. There is a kind of cold that spreads from his heart. His silhouette is reflected in the moonlight like this, the loneliness is like the eternal ghost.

I held the door and looked at him from a distance, watching this low night, lanterns lit on the stone porch by the spring, swayed by the night wind, as if the light in front of me was going out at any time, and the wind Blowing on my face brought a cold, touched, but it was moist.

I realized that I was already in tears.

I lowered my head, and was about to turn around to leave. When I turned around, I noticed that someone was walking slowly behind me, but it was Qianwu.

There was a bit of pain in his face and a bit of indifference. He glanced at me and looked at the figure outside, and then sighed.

.

"It's been two years."

When Qian Wu opened his mouth, there was a little helplessness in his cold voice, and he could see that some scars were also imprinted in his heart.

I choked, "Is that always the case?"

Qian Wu shook his head gently.

"After leaving the imperial city, Huang Ye insisted on leaving Zongmen, even at his own discretion, and was seriously injured; his wife also gave up everything he had in Zongmen in order to protect him ... Later, the two became relatives. After becoming married, she went to live in a nearby town. "

"..."

"At the beginning, their relationship was very good. The husband and wife sang along, and the case was full of eyebrows, during that period of time—" Qian Wu said, and a faint smile appeared on his stubborn face: "It is very rare for Huang Ye , Relaxed and happy. "

"What happened then?"

"Later ..." Qian Wunong's eyebrows narrowed slightly, looked up at the moon in the sky, and sighed, "Huang Ye was like that, you know, there will be some people-he can't always stay at home No one. Just like that, the wife started to get angry and quarrel with him. "

"..."

"In order not to bother you, and to keep your wife from making further noises, Huang Ye sold the house in town and moved here."

No wonder, this place is so far away from the market, not to touch the village before, not to shop, although it is quiet, but it is too remote, there is a little inconvenience in daily life, it turned out to be--

"Mrs. also sent home maids, leaving only a few older ones. Later, even the embroidered women in the town could not come to the house. I gave them to the embroidery workshop and then sent them. Huang Ye thought this was the case. It's fine, and I don't have to ask again, but-Madam found him carrying the jade flute you sent. "

My throat choked.

"Actually, it's not just the jade flute," Qian Wu sighed, and said helplessly: "The two always have a noisy relationship. Later, Huangye started to go out hunting, two or three months at a time, and two when he returned An individual can be quiet for a few days, but within a few days, and noisy, he goes out again. "

As he said, he sighed: "The tigers and wolves in the mountains nearby have been beaten by him almost."

...

No wonder, I walked the wild road for several days without encountering any danger or encountering a hunter. It turned out to be his "merit".

But the more so, the more sour I feel.

I never thought that once the spirited and hailed as the uncrowned king in Yangzhou City, he carried the people's great heroes on his shoulders. These days will be like this.

He and Mu Hua clearly love each other, but why is it so?

"Green baby girl," Qian Wu said, looking at me with a very sad look, and said, "I don't want you to come. Among so many people, only you and Huang Ye can really say something, but you Come-you see, he can't even hide. "

"..."

"I don't know when this torture will be his head."

Qian Wu has never been a talkative person. He used to bleed rather than talk to people. But tonight, he said so much to me, every word with infinite burnout and helplessness.

I know that it has not been easy for him these years.

I nodded gently: "I understand."

Having said that, there is no need to say any more. Qian Wu looked at me apologetically and said gently: "It's too late, you should go back to rest early."

"Ok."

I nodded, watched him turn away, and looked back at the moonlight, the figure sitting on the treetop, as perfect as a statue, but lonely.

That loneliness, like a brand, is deeply engraved in people's hearts and souls.
