Chapter 61 The Butterfly Knot
The god has no moon, the night of the sixteenth is dark, and there is no moonlight.
A boy sat on a tatami bed and looked so noble and handsome, with a faint melancholy.
His skin was snow-white and blood-white, and he showed sickness. His face was faintly blue. His fingers were particularly slender, slightly longer than ordinary people, slender, white and tender. You can tell at a glance that he was a pampered person.
He is a natural beauty. If he hadn't tied his hair into a bunch of hair behind his head and wore a "water-drying outfit", he would have thought he was a beauty.
Mizutan (すいかん) - a kind of ancient Japanese court officials' dress, hunting clothes, which is the same as hunting clothes (wearing by public, young boys and servants of the martial family), it was originally the daily dress of civilians.
Different from the style of the hunting suit, the water dry in front and back of the sutures and connections are reinforced with "chrysanthemum tuck". In addition, the water dry does not have the neck buckle of the hunting suit (とんぼ), but the neckline is tied with a thin belt.
The water-dried collars are all round collars, and the wearing methods are roughly divided into two types: one is to wear a hunting suit, with only straps on the neck. The other is to fold the collar into a V-shaped shape.
Children of nobles must use the V-shaped hanging collar.
Ordinary civilians wear round necks, and need to wear chrysanthemums and tying sleeves, while noble disciples do not need it.
His clothes were wearing a V-shaped hanging collar, with pinholes covered with pinholes. Some of the embroidery has been removed. Judging from the shape, the chrysanthemum patterns were removed, leaving only the silver leaf patterns lined beside them.
A red mark can be seen on the boy's right face, and the red mark forms two small characters "True Loyalty".
He was Prince Takao, the former "Crown Prince" who was demoted to a prince of Wu by Emperor Saga, and his name was "True Zhong".
After a long journey from Pingchengjing, he was escorted back to Ping'anjing. On the first night of settling down in this suburb of Ping'anjing, he encountered the storm of being poisoned.
After Gao Yue was poisoned, he was in a coma for many days and experienced the danger of the gates of hell. He had not yet recovered yet, but he was discovered by the female official "Anzi" in charge, and then was attacked by the corpse fox.
These one after another happened too quickly... If someone else had been in a slump, or could not get up, his soul would be out of heaven.
Gao Yue, however, had a strong patience and calmness, and survived strongly.
‘I must live, and I cannot let others catch any handle. I will not give you a reason to kill me. One day I will prove that I have not rebelled and nothing is my fault.’
‘Sister Mako, have you received the letter? I believe you are innocent. I want to find out the truth and restore your innocence.’
Gao Yue was always worried, "Is there any such letter?" Gao Yue couldn't confirm it either.
In the early morning, what was the giant beast that attacked people in the backyard? Was it sent? If 'yes!', there was nothing strange, after all, many people wanted me to die.
On this cool autumn night, Gao Yue calmed down and recalled what happened in the morning, "If the giant beast came to kill me, why did he suddenly run away?"
It's really hard to understand.
After a series of blows, the hurricane last night and the giant beasts in the early morning were not surprising. Gao Yue’s most surprised was that he actually saved a dragon.
Is this really a one-stop?
It is indeed the same as the legend, and it is also different from the legend.
The snake's body is like the horns in the shape of a deer antler and the fish's scales, but there are no claws, the tail is different, there are no dragon fins on the back, and the whole body is golden.
Is this a snake? It’s a dragon? Gao Yue cannot be sure of it.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is not an ordinary animal.
"Xiao Jinjin, what are you? Why are you injured? The strange golden bottle? Is it very important to you?" Gao Yue murmured to himself in a low voice, looking at the low table.
This low table is placed in the dormitory, with cloth on the table, and the bottom of the table cannot be seen.
The bottom of the table is a soft cushion, and a golden snake covered with scars is wrapped around a golden bottle.
This is the "Little Jinjin" saved by Gao Yue. She floated and floated in the backyard pond and was rescued by Gao Yue the moment she lost consciousness.
The pond in the backyard is naturally formed, and the waterfall stream gathers along the mountain stream and winds towards the foot of the mountain.
"Where did Xiao Jinjin come from?" Gao Yue felt familiar with it. This familiar feeling was like seeing a relative who had not seen him for a long time. He met again after a long time. It was just the first time he met, but he felt this in his heart. It was strange.
As the night gradually became deeper, the female official An Zi, carrying the midnight snack box, knocked outside the lattice door: "Sir, the midnight snack you ordered has been prepared. Can I come in?"
"Is it Cui'er? Come in!" Gao Yue didn't know that the female official in charge was from the Abe family, and she didn't even know that her name was Anzi, let alone her true identity.
Gao Yue called her "Cui'er" just because of her green clothes.
"Cui'er" - the name given by the master.
This name is "honor" and a "knot" for Anzi.
Every time Gao Yue called "Cui'er", Anzi thought to himself: "I am Abe Anko, not your Cui'er, why did you kill my sister?"
Just as An Zi called "Zheng Chang" every time he called him, Gao Yue suddenly remembered the tattoo on his face "Zhen Zhong".
Tonight, Gao Yue specifically ordered a midnight snack and ordered white porridge to be given more water and less porridge.
Pushing open the plaid door, a woman about 14 years old came in. She looked very beautiful and smart. She was wearing a small emerald green jacket and crimson green patterns embroidered on her green clothes.
She has fair skin, black eyebrows, oval face, rosy lips, and a horn on her mouth. She can tell at a glance that she is a filial person.
Her chin was slightly upward, as the book said in the book of Xiang: "If you have a chin, you will have no worries about your diet."
Seeing Cui'er putting the food box on the low table and standing humbly in front of the door, Gao Yue said, "Cui'er, don't call yourself a slave. I said, there are no slaves here, just call your name in the future. You can go back early to rest."
"Oh, Lord Zong, Cui'er has surrendered." An Zi lowered his hand and lowered his head, regressing and leaving.
Anzi was unwilling to accept "Cui'er".
"Is it good to call her name? I don't want to be so close to you." In her heart, she would rather call herself a slave. Keeping such a distance from Gao Yue makes her feel comfortable and at ease.
She has always regarded Gao Yue as her enemy, and she is unwilling to have a slight relationship with Gao Yue and does not want to get close to him. The better Gao Yue treats her, the more she feels Gao Yue is hypocritical, "I will not forget my sister's hatred because of your kindness."
On autumn nights, there is no bright moon, and the cool breeze blows on your face very cold. In addition, it is in the mountains, and the temperature is particularly cold.
An Zi was depressed and walked to the backyard with a lantern. She was strong and not as gentle as her sister. She was active since childhood, loved swordsmanship, and practiced martial arts since childhood, so she was very brave.
The backyard was silent and deserted, the mountain was cold, it was very cold... It was blowing quietly.
This mountainside forms a nest, and the wind is obviously weaker here than outside.
There is no sound of wind, no birds singing, the water from the pond flows gently, and there is no sound of water.
On this late autumn night, the surroundings are so quiet.
An Zi sat alone by the pond shed tears. She was strong and strong on weekdays and could not make people peek into the pain in her heart.
When I think of my sister, An Zi's heart is very sad and painful.
Brother Jue's figure appeared in my mind, An Zi's heart was sad and guilty, "Sorry, sister, sorry, Brother Jue, because of my willfulness, you will be separated by yin and yang."
"sorry!……"
It's too late!
The Abe family has always been deeply loved by the royal family. They observe their faces and colors and deeply understand the way of officialdom. The secret lies in "reading the mind".
An Zi was good at martial arts since childhood, and her "mind reading skills" were not as good as her "sister", because Brother Jue made her work hard to practice "mind reading skills".
According to the family arrangement, An Zi should take over his position as his sister two years ago and become Gao Yue's female official, who will marry the imperial physician "Hu Xi Benjue".
However, Anzi did not agree to the family arrangements, and in Anzi's heart, she did not want her brother to get married so soon.
If this happens, you will not be able to see him again. "Being able to meet Brother Jue on the day my sister returns home" is An Zi's wish, and An Zi just wants to continue this wish for a longer time.
"Sister, please give me more time. I don't want to enter the palace so soon. I don't want to lose my freedom so soon. I will definitely take over my position as a year later?" An Zi begged to her sister.
An Zi’s true intention: “Give me more time to learn to let go, let go of this wish, and let go of this relationship hidden in my heart.”
However, year after year, my sister had an accident in the "medicine change" this year.
"If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have died. The damn person should be me." An Zi felt sad, guilt, and regret...
This painful depression had already left a deep scar in her heart.
No, not a scar...
deep……
Hidden in your heart...
So deep...
Like an abyss...
pain……
So painful...
Heartache, heartache...
My heart was hurt, and I was injured...
This scar penetrated deep into the bone marrow to form a hole...
My heart...had a hole...
Deep hole...
Bottomless deep hole...
It hurts very, very painful, very painful...
Unhealed heartache...
To be continued...
