Eight hundred and sixteenth chapter exploration
There were weeping ghosts and ghosts in Fengzao Palace, and the cold wind was blowing.
Although Jia Cong is not far from Jia Yuanchun, he still can't see her true face clearly. He can only vaguely think that she is a very beautiful woman, but because she is too thin and hazy, she looks like a fairy but has eight points.
Very ghostly.
Jia Cong sat opposite her, trying hard to get a clear look at this virtuous concubine, but he couldn't get a real look no matter how hard he looked.
Maybe it's because the light in the east wing of Fengzao Palace is too dim?
Jia Cong couldn't help but look back at the windows of the main hall. There were several layers of yellow paper pasted inside and outside, whether to block the wind or to block the light.
In short, although the sun was shining brightly outside the main hall, the light that managed to get in was very dark inside the main hall.
Then he looked at the thick bead curtain. The curtain was probably made of pearls strung together, but the pearls were strung too densely and blocked the light.
Bao Qin stood quietly behind her without saying a word. When she saw Jia Cong frowning at the paper covering the window and the thick bead curtain, she quickly whispered: "Your Majesty is of poor health and doesn't like to see the light, let alone see the light."
There was not a hint of wind, so I pasted a few more layers of paper..."
Jia Cong listened without comment, wondering how trustworthy the words of this girl were.
He turned his head and looked at Jia Yuanchun again. She was sitting behind the layers of curtains.
The layers of curtains hung down from the top of the high hall. They were bright in color, luxurious in texture, and shimmering with cold light. Jia Cong couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he looked at the curtains. He always felt that the person sitting behind him was someone else.
A living person, but the empress that he had seen in many temples when he was a child. The empress was enshrined in wood and clay. Although there was no real life flowing in her body, at a glance, she felt that she was more sacred and more sacred than a living person...
Weird!
Jia Cong didn't know how he could think of this, and he was a little frightened for a moment. But at this time, the hall was silent, and time seemed to have frozen together with the dust.
This scene was so weird that the more Jia Cong thought about it, the more he felt slightly frightened.
Thick, vermilion-painted wooden pillars quietly stood upright, supporting a huge, silent hall. The wooden doors and wooden windows were all vermilion, carved with exquisite and complicated patterns...
All this seemed to have remained unchanged since ancient times, and it seemed that it had passed through thousands of years of silence. However, he came so unexpectedly, breaking the silence of this thousand years.
Jia Cong felt that his back was wet and chilly, and there was a cold wind blowing along his neck and collar straight to his back...
He suppressed the fear in his heart and raised his eyes to look at Jia Yuanchun again. Yuanchun was hiding behind the curtain, with a thin piece of gauze hanging in front of her, like smoke and mist, just covering her face.
Jia Cong squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, Yuan Chun's face appeared and disappeared in the smoke.
Her eyebrows are extremely delicate, so delicate that they have lost the air of the human world.
Such a delicate and beautiful face was full of sorrow. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was an indescribable resentment between her brows and the corners of her mouth.
Occasionally, the cold and piercing eyes flashed slightly, which could send chills to the heart.
Jia Cong only glanced at it for a few times and then didn't dare to look again. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the person sitting behind the curtain was Jia Yuanchun or the ghost who had been wronged for thousands of years.
It seemed that at the next moment, Jia Yuanchun would burst into violence, tear up the curtains all over the palace and rush out to claim his life.
Jia Cong became more and more frightened and secretly regretted that he really shouldn't have come to Fengzao Palace for such a visit.
How could there be such a huge and vicious creature lurking in this damn place? And yet it was so beautiful? Jia Cong just wanted to get up and run away.
Besides, it's a bit too cold in the palace. Isn't there even charcoal in the palace?
The more Jia Cong sat, the more he felt uneasy. He frowned and stood up to leave.
As if sensing Jia Cong's impatience and uneasiness, Jia Yuanchun, who was hiding behind the curtain, suddenly spoke. Although his voice was gentle and low, there was still no trace of warmth, and it was so cold that people felt chills in their hearts.
"I heard that my father was exiled to the frontier for dereliction of duty and will never return to Beijing in this life. Can you save him?"
Jia Cong was shocked when he heard this and shook his head: "No, that's all the Emperor's will. I'm afraid no one in the world can make him change his mind, and no one is willing to try..."
"Um……"
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun just gave a faint hum and said nothing for a while.
Jia Cong didn't know what Jia Yuanchun was thinking, so he didn't bother to guess. He got up and wanted to leave.
He really couldn't stand this place anymore. It was so dark and cold that it was simply no place for people to stay.
Seeing that Jia Cong was about to leave again, Jia Yuanchun smiled sadly and said lightly: "Are you leaving? I'm afraid I won't live for a few days, and I don't know how the emperor will kill me. Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but stopped and turned back to look at Jia Yuanchun.
Inside the curtain, Jia Yuanchun remained motionless. Her expression at this time could not be clearly seen, but her tone was full of bitterness and despair.
"I am only twenty-six years old. How old are you?"
Jia Yuanchun asked, and before Jia Cong could answer, she smiled bitterly and said: "You are sixteen this year, I am ten years older than you! You were still young when I was at home, and we have never met. Last time I
When you go home, you avoid me and refuse to see me. This is the first time we have met, so are you leaving in a hurry? In a few days, I am afraid we will never see each other again..."
Her words seemed to be addressed to Jia Cong, but they seemed to be just talking to herself. Jia Cong left at a moment's notice, and could only stand there and listen.
Baoqin next to him couldn't help but choked up after listening to Yuanchun's words. When Yuanchun saw it, he said coldly: "Why are you crying? Didn't you already know this? As soon as I die, you can find a way to leave. It's okay to leave."
The further away the better, don’t stay here again in this life, let alone think about me, don’t think about Jia’s house, don’t think about this place...it’s not worth it!”
After hearing what she said, Baoqin felt even more sad, her tears became more and more frequent, and her sobs became louder.
Hearing Baoqin's cry, Yuanchun seemed very unhappy, and her voice became colder. She scolded her coldly: "Why are you crying? Didn't I allow you to leave? Don't worry, I always have a way to cry."
When you leave here, you just..."
Before she could finish her words, Bao Qin hurriedly held back her tears and said sadly: "No, miss, I'm not going anywhere. I will follow you all my life. Even...even if the miss is really...she still can't escape."
...I am accompanying the lady just..."
When Jia Cong saw the deep friendship between master and servant, he bowed his head and remained silent.
He had no way to save people, so naturally he was unwilling to intervene.
Jia Yuanchun ignored Baoqin. He just turned to look at Jia Cong and whispered: "Yesterday, my mother asked someone to come to the palace to explain things to me..."
Jia Cong frowned even more after hearing this. Mrs. Wang was really blinded by the oil. What time has it been now? Seeing that her eldest daughter's life is in danger, she still refuses to let go. I don't know what happened.
