Chapter 83: Yellow Crane Gone Forever (3)
I increased the majesty in my gaze, and finally a girl came out: "Miss, Miss Haoyue, no, Yue Meiren is in the guest room, and she told us not to disturb. After all, Miss Haoyue is no longer a maid anymore. ..."
Her voice gradually lowered, and I glanced at her gently: "Why, she is not a maid, so I can't call her?"
I took care of Li's scattered hair: "Yes, she is already Yue Meiren. But even if he is Yue Guifei and his adoptive father died violently, he should have come with reason."
I paused and said again: "What's more, now I, which concubine and concubine do you dare to summon?" The last sentence was extremely majestic, and the maid hurried off.
Standing by the lake, Li Pingfu's body had been wrapped in a straw mat, and the eldest brother whispered beside me, "Why don't the younger sister want Yuemei to come."
I didn't look at my eldest brother, but at the black water in the miserable night: "Big brother, after all, Haoyue was brought into the mansion by Steward Li, and Steward Li regarded her as her biological daughter. She has always been grateful to Steward Li."
The eldest brother said "Oh": "I put her in the guest room, after all, she is a beauty."
I nodded and stopped talking.
"Miss, Miss Haoyue is not in the room." A maid ran and said.
I was stunned for a moment, and worried in my heart, where would Haoyue go at this late hour.
Could it be that Steward Li told her too? She won't...
Outside the house where I lived before, I stood silently, smiling sadly.
Inside were the silhouettes of two people, clearly visible under the projection of candlelight, and there was a sound coming out, I stood quietly and listened carefully.
"The emperor, the young lady must have gone to the mourning hall. The emperor has been tired for a day, so let's rest earlier." It was Haoyue's gentle voice.
Shen Xiyao nodded in response and said, "The night is getting late, so go back soon." His voice was faint, with fatigue in it.
I couldn't help but tremble when I heard his voice. There was too much emotion in my heart. The hands were clenched and the teeth were clenched.
"The emperor, the maidservant is here to accompany the emperor. I think when the young lady just entered the palace and couldn't sleep alone at night, she was accompanied by the maidservant." Haoyue's voice was with a gentle smile, but at this time I sounded so much. Untimely.
Shen Xiyao did not speak, and after a period of silence, Haoyue's voice sounded again, but unlike before, her voice was crying at this time.
"The emperor, the maidservant has lost his courtesy, please forgive the emperor."
"What's wrong with you?" There was a little emotion in Shen Xiyao's voice.
"The emperor, the maidservant has been a close maid to the young lady in Ling's mansion since he was a child. Without the master's acceptance, the maidservant would have starved to death on the street now."
Haoyue's voice is so sad, but I can hear the intention behind that sadness.
Shen Xiyao paused for a long time before saying, "Starved to death on the street...Is there such a thing now? I don't even know. I thought it was a peaceful and prosperous age."
His voice was serious, and Haoyue Xu didn't expect that he would react this way, and he stopped talking for a while.
When Haoyue spoke again, she had already changed the subject cleverly.
"The emperor, when the maidservant came in just now, the emperor slept on the table. I think he must be very tired. The emperor should settle down earlier."
There was complete concern and softness in that voice, I shook my head and smiled, Haoyue, now she is more clever, but this cleverness no longer has the original simplicity.
"Oh, I am a little tired." Shen Xiyao said casually, and then said casually: "This quilt..."
Haoyue answered at the right time: "It was the slave servant who came in and saw the emperor asleep, covering the emperor."
Shen Xiyao said "Oh": "You are interested."
Haoyue smiled softly: "This is what the slave servant should do. It's just...Why doesn't the emperor go out with the young lady?"
I was taken aback, what she meant when she asked this question...
I smiled, as expected to be the maid who grew up with me, but very clever. But my heart is bleak.
"When Wei Er went out, I was already asleep." His voice gradually lowered, with a slight disappointment.
"The slave maid thought that the emperor knew that the young lady was out, but she just didn't know where she was going. Miss...maybe forgotten, after all, the master had something like this..." Haoyue said softly.
My heart shook, daddy...
I didn't listen any more, and I didn't want to listen anymore. It seemed that all the people close to me were far away from me overnight, and I was alone overnight.
I returned to the mourning hall and knelt quietly. My eldest brother looked at my face and didn't ask anything. We just knelt in silence until dawn.
In the early morning, it was a gloomy sky outside, and gray light came in. Although I knelt all night, I didn't feel tired at all, but it was just as if I had no soul.
"Little sister, go and rest." The elder brother stood up and looked at me: "All night, you must be exhausted."
I didn't look up, just looked at the black marble on the ground like a sculpture, without any carvings, so smooth and smooth that I could see my projection, and the projection of the person standing outside the door.
"The emperor, the minister sees the emperor." The voice of the eldest brother rang in my ears.
I only looked at the figure of Shen Xiyao on the ground, and said softly: "The concubine please send greetings to the emperor."
Behind him, there is another person, I know, it must be Haoyue.
She should have not left last night, she should have been with Shen Xiyao.
"Miss, you have to be sad." Haoyue's face was full of tears, she almost staggered to my side, her appearance was so sad, so sad, it seemed that her heart was just like mine, completely It's broken.
However, the calmness in her eyes made me clearly know how fake this sorrow and sadness is.
"Vil, you knelt all night, go and rest." The eldest brother stepped forward: "Thank you Yuemei for coming to express your condolences."
Haoyue cried and said, "Master Ling, I'm sorry."
I sneered in my heart, but said in the calmest tone: "Haoyue, you are also sad."
Haoyue was taken aback, and looked at me unclearly: "Miss..."
I said softly: "Last night, housekeeper Li threw himself into the lake. Now in the side hall, I have discussed with my brother and let him be buried with his father."
Haoyue looked at me, not as surprised as I thought. She just lowered her head: "I see."
But I was startled. After all, Steward Li had taken in and raised Haoyue for many years, and Haoyue was able to go smoothly in the house, not only because she was my personal maid, but also because of the secret care of Li Steward. Now she has no sadness on her face, which is really puzzling.
Could it be that when these women entered the palace, their hearts became hardened...
"How to say, you wouldn't enter Ling Mansion without Steward Li, you should go and see him."
I walked a few steps and knelt in front of my father's spirit, and said slowly: "No matter what, he treats you as a daughter. Butler Lee has no children and no daughters, so please do a little filial piety for him.
Haoyue pursed her lips, and finally responded, "Miss, this is what I should do."
After that, he went out. After a while, a mournful cry came from the side hall.
"Emperor, it's getting late, you should go back." I tried my best to suppress my voice, and said in the most ordinary voice.
But I hate it in my heart. I hate it so much that I am about to lose my mind.
"Go back with me. You should rest." He bent down and said softly to me.
I turned away from my face: "The emperor, after all, is the father of a concubine, and the concubine wants to accompany his father until he is buried, so please ask the emperor for permission."
I bowed my head and bowed to him, he was stunned, I couldn't see his expression, but I knew it must be amazed.
The corners of my mouth twitched, but I couldn't draw a sneer.
Shen Xiyao didn't speak for a long time, the eldest brother walked to him and whispered something.
