The second time I walked on the bustling streets of the Imperial City, and the first time I wandered alone in this time and space, Hyacinthia had lost all the joyful mood it had before, and the enthusiastic vendors were still shouting, but it still rang in my ears.
It becomes noisy inside, making people irritated for no reason.
As expected, the emperor's death was aroused in the streets, but few people mentioned who would succeed him. This made Hyacinth a little discouraged. This was completely different from what she imagined. Could it be that this imperial city cannot talk about the palace?
Something?
After wandering around for a long time, I also briefly read the announcement of the emperor's death, but it was not as good as what I heard from Yuzhui. I think Yuzhui was in the palace last night, so he naturally knew more news than these common people.
Much more.
Just as he was about to go home, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. Hyacinth paused, turned around and made a beautiful uppercut.
"ah!"
The delicate female voice instantly attracted the attention of people passing by. Hyacinth took a closer look and was dumbfounded. She actually hurt a girl!
After a pause, she hurriedly stabilized the beauty who was covering her eyes, and asked apologetically: "Girl, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." The girl was obviously a little excited, but she was not angry. On the contrary, she was a little excited. She covered her eyes with one hand and held the corner of Hyacinth's clothes with the other, but hesitated to speak.
Although the woman's tugging was not malicious, Hyacinth didn't like the touch of strangers, so she pulled her clothes back without any trace, her expression a little embarrassed. Is this woman really okay?
Why are you patting her on the shoulder when you have nothing to do? But speaking of it, this woman looks somewhat familiar, but Feng Chen only has a few princes, princesses, maids and eunuchs in his memory, and he really doesn’t remember any friends among the people.
"If the girl is okay, then I..."
"Xinzi, you are the Ninth Princess, right? It's me," the woman let go of her hand covering her eyes, took hold of Hyacinth and said, "Don't you remember me?"
She is a good-looking woman. Although one eye is still slightly red, it cannot stop the woman's beautiful face, with big eyes, small nose and mouth, bright water-red rouge, and the popular bun.
The precious hairpin jewelry and the grass-green dress all highlight the extraordinary woman.
But what Hyacinth noticed was the surprisingly big eyes and the sharp chin. Even though she was dressed like a lady, there was still a bit of Jianghu aura between her eyebrows. Yes, this woman...
I know, not Feng Chen’s friend, but her, Hyacinth’s friend, the girl who disappeared inexplicably, Xiao Ronger.
"Rong'er, why are you here, and..."
The deep sadness in Xiao Rong'er's eyes made Hyacinth afraid to ask any more questions. When she disappeared, she was indifferent and did not look for her. Even when she took charge of the backyard later, she did not mention this like Wanqi Shengxin.
The woman still blames herself a bit. If it weren't for her selfishness and ruthlessness, she wouldn't...
However, although it is a bit unkind to think so, Xiao Rong'er in front of him seems to be living a good life. At least he is much better-looking and more noble than the sloppy look when he first met her.
She had always felt that Xiao Rong'er was a beauty, and a beauty with a lot of thoughts, so besides admiring and liking her for her calmness at first, she had no more emotions towards her.
"It's a long story. Why don't I treat you to dinner and go to the restaurant and talk about it slowly." Putting away her sad mood, Xiao Rong'er pulled Hyacinth with a smile on her face. She looked like a good sister, which made Hyacinth a little bit nervous.
I'm confused. Were they ever so good as this?
Let's go to the restaurant. She happens to be a little hungry too.
Xiao Rong'er was indeed different. The restaurant he chose was the largest Juxian Restaurant in the Imperial City, and the dishes he ordered were all expensive. Hyacinthia lay on the table bored, tapping the celadon teacup with mahogany chopsticks, and from time to time
He stared at Xiao Rong'er for a few times, his beautiful eyes were misty with some water vapor, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Xinzi, why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Rong'er has a pair of bright eyes. When they first met, Hyacinth was frightened by those surprisingly big red eyes. She felt like a rabbit when she looked at them.
It's somewhat cute and innocent, but now when I look at it, I find it's gray like there's something between it, maybe it's been worn down by the world.
"I think Rong'er has changed a bit." Smiling, Hyacinth said straightforwardly. Seeing the change in Xiao Rong'er's eyes, she smiled again, "She's become more beautiful."
"Really?" Xiao Ronger touched her face, sighed suddenly, and said sadly, "Actually, I know what you are thinking. I have indeed changed. I have become worldly, greedy, and even me.
I have begun to hate myself, but what can I do? In this unfamiliar imperial city, with nothing and no martial arts, what can a weak woman do?"
"Rong'er..." I didn't expect that she would say this so excitedly. Hyacinthia didn't know how to comfort the crying woman for a while. The girl who used to be so forthright and forthright was now so sentimental. She really
She couldn't think of what she had gone through, but she couldn't ask. It turned out that she thought Rong'er might have been killed by the woman in the backyard, which was why she hurt so many women, but now it wasn't the case. She didn't want to expose her.
Scar, so she didn't ask and wanted to wait for her to tell it herself.
Xiao Rong'er took out the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and recounted what happened before: "You went to the Blood Moon Pond that night, and someone knocked out the guard, and put the Ecstasy incense in Lingxinyuan. At that time, I was
When I fell asleep, I had no idea what had happened. I only remembered that someone broke into the door and put me in a sack."
Speaking of this, Xiao Rong'er choked up and clutched the square handkerchief tightly with her bare hands, so hard that the silk handkerchief was somewhat deformed.
"Rong'er, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." I couldn't bear to see such a sad scene, especially when Xiao Rong'er cried, her eyes were red again, which was a bit scary.
"No, I want to say that over the years, you are the only one who has thought about me. I regard you as a confidant, and I only want to say my own words to you." Xiao Rong'er squeezed her nose and said, "Catch me."
My man was a villager at the foot of Netherworld Mountain. He was simply a beast. Seeing how pretty I was, he forced himself on me. But he was afraid of being discovered by his wife, so he took me to the Imperial City on the pretext of doing business and sold me to Taoyao.
The madam of the pavilion..."
When talking about this, Xiao Rong'er's face not only had pain, but also a trace of strong hatred. Tears fell from her red eyes. She looked like a poor person who had been abandoned by the whole world. Her eyes were red.
Rouge could not cover up the paleness on her face, and her red lips had lost their color, which showed how unbearable this memory was for her.
"Rong'er, stop talking." Hyacinth hates seeing other people cry the most in her life. When she sees a man cry, she feels worthless and can't help but want to poison him to death. When she sees a woman cry, she feels too pitiful.
It's not a taste, not to mention listening to Xiao Ronger's words, Hyacinth feels sorry for her. What happened to Lingxinyuan is most likely aimed at her, and the murderer is most likely the same person who hurt Qixue this time to frame her.
The same person.
"However, fortunately I met him," the topic changed, Xiao Ronger wiped her tears with a look of happy admiration, "At that time, I was locked up in Taoyao Pavilion by the old bustard, and I was beaten with bruises all over my body because of my stubborn temper. Later, the madam
I was asked to pick up a guest, and he was the highest bidder that night. I didn't expect that there was such a good-looking man in the world, a very cold man, but he helped me redeem my life. After that, I was arranged to be his wife in a house in the west of the city.
Although he rarely appears, he is very kind to me. He will give me the best rouge, gouache, and the most expensive clothes and jewelry. I live a luxurious life that I could not even imagine in the past. I have one more child.
My handsome husband, I am very happy now."
Hyacinth frowned. The person Xiao Ronger mentioned was too close to what she had in mind. Although she knew the possibility was very small, she was still a little uneasy.
"Xinzi, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the pale face of the woman opposite, Xiao Ronger's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Then he smiled and took Hyacinth's hand on the table and said, "I'm doing well.
Aren't you happy for me?"
Being held by Xiao Rong'er's calloused but soft little hand, Hyacinth suddenly withdrew her hand like an electric shock. Instead of answering her question, she asked her with a strange expression, "What's his name?"
Maybe she was too sensitive, but the person Xiao Ronger was talking about actually made her feel a little uneasy.
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Rong'er was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head with a red face and said, "I don't know what his name is, and he has never mentioned it in front of me. He doesn't want to tell me.
I don't ask, so I don't know what to call him, I just call him 'husband', but he likes to wear black robes, and whenever he appears, he always wears the same black clothes, no decorations but very good-looking."
Speaking of her lover, Xiao Ronger's face was filled with obvious happiness.
He also likes to wear night-like black. Hyacinth's face is gloomy and his eyes become cold.
"Oh, that's right! He sometimes wears a mask," Xiao Ronger looked at Hyacinth's face, her expression became very strange, pointed to the mask on her face, and said with certainty and confusion, "Speaking of which, he has
A mask is similar to yours, but..."
"His is gold?" Hyacinth's tone was solemn, and her whole body was covered with a layer of cold air.
"How do you know?" Xiao Ronger looked at Hyacinth suspiciously, with a hint of wariness in his big eyes.
Damn it! Xiao Rong'er had told her before that she had never seen Wanqi Shengxin in Nether Village, so her current description only illustrates one problem...
Hyacinth's white and perfect hands clenched tightly, gradually turning into fists, and then hit the dining table hard. A dent was made in the hard pine table, and in a moment, the entire corner of the table fell off.
