Bamboo Raw Huaian

The sun is setting in the west.

The dim light shrouded the Huai'an Palace, broken pots, scattered letters, muddy snow, everything was plated with bronze.Like old pages, slowly being eroded by the years.

The Huai'an Palace, which had been noisy all day, finally fell silent.

Ten

San walked slowly in the yard, and found a stone platform that was relatively safe to stay on.

Chu Yue followed behind him, saw that he was going to sit, gave him a hand, and said, "I'll find a chair."

Thirteen stopped him, waved his hands indifferently, wrapped his cloak, and just sat down.

Standing behind him, Chu Yue looked at the person whom he personally took to the palace a year ago.

This person was thin and thin, sitting alone in the mess on the ground, but he didn't feel desolate or embarrassed at all.

He has a unique air about him.More tactful than literati, more sincere than politicians, more noble than the poor, and more kind than the powerful.

His life experience and experience endow him with this contradictory temperament.As long as he wanted, he could keep a clear head in any situation and put on a calm posture.

Thirteen sat quietly by himself for a while, then suddenly said, "Since you haven't left, why hide?"

Not long after he said these words, some rustling noises were heard not far away, and after a while, a person walked out from the corner of the wall.

Thirteen didn't turn his head, closed his eyes, and sighed softly: "Anwen."

Chu Yue was startled secretly, just now he noticed someone in the dark, and he gave him a wink by talking to Shisan.It took only a while, but this person has already judged the identity of the person, and judging from his appearance, it seems that he is even clear about the purpose of the person who came.

An Wen walked up to Shisan with red eyes, pursed his lips, and before he could speak, he knelt down in front of Shisan and kowtowed three times to him.

She knocked so hard that the corner of her forehead was broken, and blood stains stuck to the slate.

Thirteen looked at the blood stains on the ground and didn't move.

After Anwen finished kowtowing, Thirteen said without much fluctuation in his tone: "You owe His Highness these three heads, and I will take it for him."

Then he propped himself up with some difficulty, squatted in front of Anwen to help her up, and wiped her crying face.

Thirteen lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions, and said in a low voice, "You don't owe me anything."

Anwen couldn't take it anymore.

She clutched Shisan's cuff tightly, crying uncontrollably: "Thirteen, Thirteen, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I hurt you, I hurt Your Highness..."

Thirteen raised his eyes, staring at her with dark eyes.

"That day when Zhou Fan wanted to break into the palace, you stopped me. Because you know that he has false evidence in his hand to frame the prince for collaborating with the enemy. Once I don't stop the officers and soldiers in the half of the city, your plan succeeds, and the prince will be detained. Charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. Such a big hat is not something that I, a small singer, can afford.

"On that day in autumn, Mr. Zhou Ge arranged for the Yan people to assassinate the prince on the way back to the mansion. However, those Yan people didn't know the prince. In order to clarify their goals so as not to startle the snake, Mr. Zhou Ge asked you to find a way to dress me red. The person next to Xi Hongyi is the target.

But you relented.Before going out, he hurriedly put on a white cloak for me, and repeatedly told me to wrap it tightly.You think that this way you can not only communicate with Mr. Ge, but also save my life. "

Thirteenth said: "You never hurt me, so I shouldn't be the one who apologized."

The person who deserves your apology has now been framed by your master's bottomless plot, his reputation is ruined, his life and death are uncertain, and he can't hear you anymore.Thirteen thought harshly.

He held back and didn't say it.

Anwen was stunned, and murmured: "You know everything."

Thirteen looked at her quietly.

The first time he started to suspect Anwen was when he came out of the conference hall after serving tea, passed by the bushes at the door, and found Anwen sneaking inside.He stopped him, and Anwen brought out a large bunch of iced grapes for him, saying that they were specially sent for him.But he remembered clearly that Anwen was not supposed to be on duty that day, so how did she know that the Palace had newly bought iced grapes?

Thirteen began to pay attention from then on, and then found that every time Anwen brought him food, he would happen to catch up with the prince to discuss matters.

The more times it happens, the more coincidences become more than just coincidences.

As for the prince, it will only be earlier than he found out.

Anwen twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a bleak smile: "Why are you so ungrateful if Shisan doesn't ask me?"

Thirteen didn't speak, so she answered herself:

"My name is actually Zhou Wen."

"When my mother was young, she worked as a maid in the Zhou Mansion. One day, Zhou Ge was in a good mood, and while walking in the garden, he fell in love with my mother, and gave orders casually, and my mother was sent to his bedroom at night.

"Just that one time, unfortunately with me.

"My mother didn't want to drink the miscarriage medicine, she just dragged it on until her stomach got bigger day by day, and she couldn't hide it. Elder Zhou Ge found out about it and gave her the position of a concubine.

"Mr. Zhou Ge has countless concubines. There are twelve or three concubines with names and surnames. There are even more concubines like my mother. Therefore, my mother's life has not changed because of my birth. It's a little better.

"Until one day, Zhou Ge saw that I was clever and said that I was a good seedling. He allowed me to attend the school and brought many good things to my mother's room.

"At that time, my mother and I felt that the hardships had finally come to an end.

"I was a student in the school for a year, and one day after school, I was called into Zhou Ge's old house.

"I knelt on the ground and heard the person who could easily determine my life and death say that I should go to Renshi to find a way to sell myself into the palace, and someone will arrange the rest. If I don't obey, my mother's body may appear at any time In the mass grave.

"Later, I was really bought into the palace, and the nanny in charge wanted to give me a new name, and asked me what I wanted to be called.

"I said I'm going to be called Anwen, which means An An Wen Wen."

Anwen lowered his eyes and mocked: "When will I be safe in my whole life?"

Thirteen looked at the person in front of him.

When Shisan first met her a year ago, the little girl had stars in her eyes, and she dragged him to Dongchu to steal some snacks.Pulling his sleeves and winking at him, saying that when stealing snacks, you must be careful of Nanny Zhang, if she finds out that you are going to hit the hands; it will be fine to let the prince know, the prince never cares about them.

After only one season of reincarnation, the once eccentric little girl was wiped out by endless calculations.

She is a poor person, her fate is regarded as an inconspicuous pawn, and she is trapped in other people's conspiracy at her best age.

However, a miserable life experience has never been a reason to be a tiger.

She had countless opportunities to ask the prince for help in the palace, but she missed them all because of cowardice and hesitation.

If she had seen the prince's character back then, she could see right from wrong and right from wrong, decisively cut off the connection with Mr. Zhou Ge, and borrowed the power of the prince to secretly send A Niang out of the Zhou mansion.She should have had a different life.

The road of life is always full of hardships.But some people choose to surrender to the suffering; some people choose to face the suffering, stick to their hearts in despair, and fight for a glimmer of hope.

Thirteen didn't want to judge too much about other people's affairs, so he waved his hand to signal Chu Yue to see off the guests.

An Wen followed Chu Yue silently, took two steps outside, suddenly turned his head to look at Thirteen, and begged, "If we meet again in the future, can you call me An Wen?"

Thirteen was silent and did not respond.

Anwen waited for a while, but there was no movement.

Then she understood, forced a smile, thanked Shisan for saving her the last face, saluted solemnly, turned around and went out with Chu Yue.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared at the gate of the courtyard that Shisan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Chu Yue met Shen Yao.

The palace was scattered and scattered, there was no reason to close the door, it was just so open.

He sent Anwen out of the mansion, and when he turned around, he saw Dahong's official robes carrying a jar of wine and walking into the mansion, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

Chu Yue took a few steps, stepped forward to stop him: "Master Shen, please stop."

Shen Yao turned his head when he heard the words.

He is still the same, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a three-point smile, as if there is nothing in the world worth his attention: "A Yue, when did you call me Mr. Shen? I am so sad because of my birthright. "

Chu Yue didn't answer, and stood still: "Thirteen is inside, you go, he will see you."

Shen Yao blinked: "So?"

"Enough. You know in your heart, don't provoke him."

"Provoke him?" Shen Yao raised his eyebrows, "I didn't find out, when did you start protecting him like this?"

"He is my master."

"I am your lover." Shen Yao smiled, and walked around him, "Now your lover is going to see your master."

"Not anymore." Chu Yue whispered.

"Huh?" His voice was too low, Shen Yao couldn't hear clearly.

Chu Yue turned around and looked into his eyes.

Those peach blossom eyes are full of smiles, always seeming to be filled with lingering emotions, which makes people unable to help but fall into them.

Chu Yue looked at him, and said word by word: "Since you forged the letter that His Highness conspired with Kurhan, our relationship is over."

"Perhaps it should have been earlier, since Elder Zhou Ge asked you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and used you to get close to the prince."

"His Highness once trusted you."

Chu Yue was loyal and honest all his life, and he couldn't say harsh words, even if those words pierced his heart, it hurt him a lot.

After all, he just lowered his eyes, and his voice drifted into the snow:

"But His Highness is gone."

Shen Yao was stunned.

He wanted to explain something, moved his mouth, and found that Chu Yue had said everything he could say, and he couldn't say what Chu Yue didn't say.

After being in the officialdom for a long time, everyone wears a mask.Every day I see countless people say countless words, and when I come back to pick and choose, I find that the ones with sincerity are pitifully small.

Chu Yue is different from them, he is loyal, frank, straightforward, and Shen Yao likes it very much.

For the first time, Shen Yao felt that this man's loyalty was very troublesome.

Still feel a little wronged.

The number one scholar Lang appointed by Emperor Long'an stood there stupidly, speechless for the first time in his memory.

After a long while, Shen Yao took a step back, found a clean place to sit on the ground, and began to play rogue: "It's done. I won't go in. You tell Shisan that I brought him a jar of bamboo leaf green. If he wants to drink, he will come out and look for it." I take."

In just one stick of incense, thirteen dozen came out of the main courtyard.

Shen Yao bent his peach blossom eyes, stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and handed over the wine jar.

Shisan took it and slapped the clay seal first: "The letter of the prince colluding with the enemy was given to Mr. Zhou Ge by you."

The declarative sentences he uses.

Shen Yao didn't hide it either, and admitted it openly: "It's me."

Thirteen patted off the mud seal, wiped the mouth of the jar clean, and looked up at him.

The unique fragrance of Zhuyeqing wafted from the jar.

After a while, Thirteen lowered his eyes, raised his hand and took a sip.

The mellow fragrance diffused between his lips and teeth, he hooked his lips: "Thank you."

Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to make himself unhappy, so he didn't go to see Chu Yue, and cupped his hands at Shisanyi: "Let's go."

Thirteen nodded in return and watched him go out.

Chu Yue stood silently behind Thirteen, and when Shen Yao's figure finally disappeared from sight, he suddenly said, "Master trusts him."

"You don't need to call me Master, just your first name."

Thirteen took a sip of wine and raised his hand to touch his chest.

The jade that the prince gave him is worn there.

The Huai'an jade pendant can command the secret guards of the palace, and is regarded as a token of love for the king of Huai'an.

At first Shen Yao made fun of him with this jade pendant, but the prince knew about it and laughed for a long time, saying that Shen Yao would not lie to him.

Thirteen lowered her eyes, feeling the existence of the jade pendant through the cloth.

"I believe Your Highness."
