"No! This is impossible! What happened to Zhuo Lian, did she not receive my sachet?" I held my head and shook vigorously, I couldn't believe that everything was misplaced like this from the beginning .

"Xia Fengxun Bi Ye, Jiang Li Mu Bailian?" Unlike my gaffe, Cui Xiu seemed to have come out of the out-of-control emotions, and her tone was unusually calm, "My lady is not stupid, she knows it's you."

"What about her? Why did you marry me? Did something happen to her? Is she playing tricks on me with you?" I searched for possibilities in my mind and overturned them one by one, as if I had arrived On the verge of collapse.

"Jingli, I call you the No. [-] Scholar, and I'm just flattering you." Cui Xiu sneered, "Why do you think that my lady, as the only daughter of the Liu family in Gusu, would be willing to marry someone with a bright future just because of a wishful thinking decree? Ruined blind man?"

I was suddenly fixed on the spot as if struck by lightning.I've thought about so many possibilities, but not this one alone.I said that gouging out her eyes just to marry her is nothing to be afraid of, but I never thought about whether she would like to marry a blind man.

Maybe it was because I saw my pale face in an instant, Cuixiu's next words sounded a lot more confident: "So what if you are the Jingli of Guangyang Temple! Our lady, when I heard that I was married to a blind man , Passed out in front of the eunuch who passed the decree! After waking up, the young lady cried for three whole days and tried to die several times. ..."

"It's me... I'm not good enough for her." My mind was very confused, and it seemed to go blank. Cui Xiu's voice was getting farther and farther away. I seemed to hear intertwined voices calling me, but I didn't want to answer anyone. .

I seemed to be sinking and sinking in a pool of deep green water. I tried to look up, but I could only see the rippling sky and the white lotus flowers on the surface of the pool.

Chapter 5 Chapter 5

I am a girl.

A girl who bullied the emperor and was exiled to the frontier.

Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like silk.From that day on, I had a high fever that never went away, and I stayed in bed for more than half a month.When I finally regained my composure, the waning moon came to report: Madam has been missing for some time.

I was too lazy to correct Can Yue's name for Cui Xiu, and I didn't send anyone to track down Cui Xiu's whereabouts.I thought, I ruined Zhuo Lian's future, and now I can only repay her by letting her personal servant girl be free.

But I don't know what kind of disaster this sympathy brought me.

There are people from the palace.I was half-supported and half-pulled into the carriage in the yin and yang tone of the eunuch who passed on the news, and surrounded by this group of extremely strange servants, I walked into a place similar to a palace. Someone kicked my knee, and I Caught off guard, he fell to his knees on the smooth and cool floor.

"Jiang Aiqing." The emperor's voice echoed in the empty hall, with the majesty of a superior, like a strange reminder: "I heard...you kept some things from me?"

Many fragments suddenly flashed in my mind.I remembered Cuixiu's exclamation when she appeared in my room that night, her sarcastic "quiet carp" after waking up, and her mysterious disappearance in Zhuangyuan's mansion after I fell ill...

A drop of cold sweat slid down my temples, and I knew I was doomed this time.

"Weichen, you deserve death." Anyway, it doesn't make much difference to me whether I am dead or alive.

"Aiqing is a smart person, so I won't say much." As soon as the emperor's words fell, a group of skilled guards took me down and locked me in a place full of wet straw and the sound of rats.

Bullying the emperor is a capital crime, I have no other ideas, just waiting for the day of execution.

The dampness and dead silence of the cell made the time pass extraordinarily long and unbearable. I don't know how long it took before I finally heard the sound of the iron lock being opened.I was put on a heavy wooden shackle and taken out of the cell.

I know that every step is approaching death, but I walk extra calmly.The two people who looked like jailers who were holding me started talking in a low voice: "This kid is lucky, the bully can escape to death."

I was surprised and said, "What do you mean by this brother? Isn't this on the way to execution?"

"It's also your life that should not be terminated. It was supposed to be executed today, but yesterday the empress gave birth to a pair of princes. His Majesty was so happy that Lin'er was born, and he pardoned the world. No, you will be exiled when you go out. Although it is still bitter, After all, my life was saved, right?" The jailer elder brother had a rare gentle attitude and said a lot, presumably because of the happy events in the palace, there were many rewards.

"Thank you, brother jailer." I replied obediently, but there was no fluctuation in my heart. In fact, for a lonely person like me, exile would prolong the cycle of death, which is really not something to be happy about.

My place of exile is Toyosu, all the way to the south, getting closer to Gusu, and further away from Gusu.Of course, it is impossible for the exile team to pass through a prosperous city like Gusu.

Most of the exile journeys were in desolate villages or forests, the conditions were harsh, my eyesight was bad, and my physical condition was getting worse every day. Finally, three hundred miles away from Toyosu, I fell ill.

I was very ill, and my daily steps were dragged by the prison guards. I was only awake for a few moments every day, but I wished I could faint again to avoid the pain all over my body.My eyes started to leak pus, and I had a high fever all day long. I couldn't eat or drink for two or three days.

Finally, on a rainy night, the jailer threw me to a certain wilderness.They probably wanted me to die right away, so it wouldn't be a dereliction of duty to lose one burden.

It is understandable, after all, they are here to escort people, not to serve them.Drenched in the rain, I was rarely sober.Maybe it's a flashback, I thought.

It's quite fragile to die like this.

Chapter 6 Chapter 6

I am a girl.

A girl with a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, with a heart like still water.

Master Huijing, the abbot of Lianhua Nunnery, said, I have not yet finished my relationship with the world and my seven emotions.She won't allow me to shave my hair out.

I smiled, but it didn't matter.No matter whether I shave my hair or not, I have nowhere to go, no one to wait for, and live in this clean nunnery every day.

Around this nunnery called lotus, I can't wait for the lotus that hates me.

A month ago, I was seriously ill and was abandoned at the foot of Lianhua Mountain, and happened to be rescued by Master Huijing who returned from wandering.Master Huijing's masterful hand of returning to spring actually pulled me back from the gate of hell. My condition improved day by day, and within a month I was fine.Master Huijing is too kind to take me in to live in this lotus nunnery, otherwise I really don't know where I can go with my carefree body.I have nothing to repay my wife, so I help out with what I can do in the nunnery every day, and I am used to doing these Buddhist chores in Guangyang Temple.

When I think of Guangyang Temple, I think of the koi pond in the backyard, the red line pavilion under the marriage tree, and a face.

Days and nights without light, things in memory became more and more blurred, but that face was still so clear.Whenever I think of that face, I can be reminded of Guangming's appearance that I haven't seen for a long time.

I always dream about her.In those similar dreams, I saw that her face was still smiling, and I heard her words were still gentle and carefree, and I gradually believed that she still loves me in real life.

I think, I still don't want to believe that when I was willing to fall into the boundless darkness, the only light I had left, the lotus flower, chose to leave by myself.

Why are you thinking about this again?I shook my head, trying to shake these mixed memories out of my head, then touched the rosary in my hand, and began to recite it intently.

"Miss Li, Miss Li!" There were shouts from outside the room, as if it was Miaoqing, the little nun who had been taking care of me during my illness.

"Come in." I put down the rosary in my hand, and heard the door creak open, and Miaoqing's footsteps approached.

"What's the matter? You are yelling, and the teacher will punish you for copying scriptures after hearing it."
