I thought my level of pretending to be blind was good, but my husband’s level
of pretending to be honest was higher than mine.
I’m blind, married to a loser. The
loser is talking about my new husband, Yang Fan.
By rights, he shouldn’t be so useless.
He is the eldest son of a famous family.
His father was a powerful fu.
His aunt is the queen mother.
His sister is the queen. When his father died
last year, he inherited the official position of fu, and at a young age, he became a great minister as soon as he came out
.
It was such a good hand, but he beat it to pieces. First, his henchmen left by his father were purged, then his power was suspended, and
then he was idle at home, not working, and receiving empty pay.
Originally, the Yang family and the North King had a marriage contract, and the daughter of the old North King wanted to marry the eldest son of the Yang family.
As a result, the old North King died this year, and his son, Little North King, looked down on Yang Fan and was reluctant to
marry his own sister to a loser, so I had my part in the play.
My name is Lou Kongyin, the stage name given by Jiaofang. My real name is unknown, my life experience is unknown, and even the date of birth
is unknown. I was sold to Jiaofang when I
was very young, and I entered Beiwangfu at the age of fifteen.
I can’t see. I play the piano well. Liu Hao likes me very much. I also like
him very much.
Three months ago, Liu Hao accepted me as a foster sister and asked me to marry Yang Fan as a princess.
To be fair, this is too bullying Yang Fan. The daughter-in-law
of Jinzhi Yuye turned into a humble maidservant, or a blind man,
who could not bear it.
But Yang Fan put up with it, very smoothly.
He happily gave me a betrothal gift and happily married me, and he had done enough
to save face.
His mother was not happy, but he persuaded her, saying that it was a great honor for the Yang family that the King of the North was willing to marry the princess
, so don’t be picky any more. Oh, what an honest man.
He suffered from honesty. Being too kind, being too gentle, and doing things too
gently.
In the court surrounded by wolves and tigers, he was the kind who was eaten alive.
I don’t want to marry this kind of person. Maybe one day he will be killed and I will be widowed. On the
wedding night, I had a bitter face, like going to a funeral.
Yang Fan took me in his arms and said, “I don’t have much ability, but I will be
good to you all my life.”
I thought, okay, take it one day at a time. As the
days went on, I gradually found that Yang Fan was good.
He did not drink, did not visit prostitutes, went to bed early and got up early, ate healthily and lived a simple life.
Although idle at home, civil and military are not abandoned, every morning an hour in the study, an hour in the
afternoon to practice martial arts, the rest of the time are clinging to me, but also at night to sleep with me,
saying that I may be afraid of the dark.
I said, I am blind, why should I be afraid of the dark?
He said, just be afraid for a while, and stimulate your desire to protect your husband.
He knows the melody. It’s a long night. I often play the piano and he appreciates it. The harp and the harp sing harmoniously, very much like a couple of true love. Shortly after
my marriage, I became pregnant. Yang Fan was very happy and thought hard all day
in the study about what to name the child.
But before long, I had an inexplicable miscarriage.
Yang Fan put his arm around me and said softly, “It’s all right, it’s all right. There will
be children in the future.”
When he saw that I was very sad, he said, “Xiao Liu, let’s go out and relax.”
Yes, he likes to call me Xiao Liu. After I became the younger sister of the King of the North, I was given the surname of Liu. Yang Fan
felt that the surname of the country was very high grade, so he called me Xiao Liu.
The Yang family is a century-old family. I think the surname Yang is also very high grade, so I call him Xiao Yang.
I said, “Yang, where do you want to go?”
He took me mysteriously into the carriage, which drove for a long time to a very quiet
place.
Yang Fan helped me out of the car. The road under my feet was stumbling and difficult to walk. He held me tightly, and I
suddenly thought of a very vulgar poem, “Hold your hand and grow old with you.”.
“Xiao Liu, in front of us now is a sea of camellia flowers, red and beautiful
!” He said excitedly.
I took a deep breath, as if I smelled the flowers. I imagine this scene in my mind,
the sun is shining all over the world, the sea of flowers is rippling, unlike the world. “Thank you, Xiao Yang. Although I can’t see the camellias, I’m in a much better mood.”
“You’re welcome, Xiao Liu.” There was a
sudden thunder in the night. I was awakened by the thunder and sat up suddenly.
Yang Fan slept like a log, snoring, and took me to run all day during the day, which made him tired
. He looks good when he is
sleeping. He himself is good-looking, clear and beautiful, gentle and refined
, and his every smile is full of aristocratic accomplishment.
Wait, I’m blind. How do I know that?
Because I’m pretending to be blind.
In fact, I can see, and my eyesight can go through the poplar with a hundred steps.
Pretend to be blind, just for business.
In a workshop full of beautiful women, if you want to stand out, you have to have a persona. My character setting
is the blind piano girl.
He was good-looking, but he could not see, and he played the piano well, which was especially in line with the taste of the officials
.
At that time, Liu Hao, the king of Xiaobei, was attracted by my characteristics and redeemed me.
I can’t admit to him that I’m pretending to be blind, so I can only continue to pretend. Slowly, I found it was good to pretend to be blind.
People are not wary of blind people and do nothing to avoid me, so I can see a lot
of interesting things.
For example, I have seen the old king of the north put his hand into the skirt of the late imperial concubine.
I’ve seen the old North Princess pinch the young guard’s ass.
I also saw the little North King push his brother into the well.
Seeing more and more things, I can’t help pretending to be blind. After
marrying Yang Fan, I can’t be exposed. If Beiwangfu knows that I’m not blind, they
will be happy to let me die young, and maybe Yang Fan will be involved.
It is pitiful that Yang Fan has to be a man in front of a wife who pretends to be blind.
Today, he took me to see the so-called camellia sea, a barren mountain with withered vegetation and
no flowers.
After all, it was late autumn, and where the flowers came from, it was hard for him.
But that’s the only lie he ever told me. At present, according to my observation, Yang Fan is the same before
and after, not because I am blind, do not avoid me, do some strange things.
Honest man. Honest man.
I tucked him in and went back to sleep. In the past two days, someone sent Yang Fan a strange stone called Cat’s Eye Stone, which shines
at night.
I don’t know how it got to the emperor’s ears. The emperor liked rare stones, so
that evening, he came to our house in disguise and said he wanted to see the shining
stone with his own eyes.
Yang Fan took me to receive the emperor with great trepidation.
When it was not dark, Yang Fan put food and wine in Jingwen Pavilion, accompanied the emperor to eat and chat, and then took out the stone to watch when
it was dark. While
they were eating and chatting, I played the piano for them to relieve their boredom. There are only three of
us in the room. While
chatting, the emperor talked about some sensitive topics.
When I heard what the emperor meant, it seemed that he hoped Yang Fan would take the initiative to resign and give up the seat
of fu. He also prepared to abolish the queen, and also hoped that Yang Fan would take the overall situation into account and not stand up
against it at that time.
Damn, I thought to myself, my husband is easy to bully, isn’t he?
Yang Fan kept a gentle smile, poured tea and vegetables for the emperor, turned his head and looked out of the
window, it was dark.
He got up, blew out the candle and lifted the black cloth covering the cat’s eye stone. The
faint blue light spread out, and the atmosphere, coupled with the cold sound of my piano, was like a ghost
. The emperor leaned forward curiously, craned his neck to look at the stone, and marveled.
Yang Fan stood behind him, smiled, took out a brocade handkerchief from his cuff, and wiped his hands.
Suddenly, for a moment, his left hand grabbed the emperor’s head, and the sharp blade of his right hand quickly wiped
his neck.
Blood spurted out and splashed on the stone.
I was so ***ing shocked.
His fingers trembled and played a wrong note, but he quickly adjusted and continued to play flowing clouds and running water
.
The emperor fell to the ground without a word and fell at Yang Fan’s feet.
Yang Fan took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from his hands, slowly and leisurely
.
Suddenly, he turned to look at me. My eyes
are still scattered, my expression is dull, and I play skillfully.
“Xiao Liu,” he said, “the emperor has gone, so you don’t have to play.”
I stopped, my fingers cold and wooden.
He threw the brocade handkerchief and walked towards me. The blue light of the stone fell on him like
a. Like a ghost. “Xiao Liu, you played a wrong note just now.” His tone is casual.
“Maybe I’m a little tired. It’s so hard to serve the emperor.” I act like a spoiled child.
“Then take a rest. Madam has worked hard.” He took me in his arms and led me out.
The hands that had just been stained with the blood of the emperor held my hands intimately and gave me warmth
.
“Xiao Liu, your hands are so cold.”
“Tired, I’m tired.”
“Then have a good rest.”
We passed the emperor’s body. I stepped on his blood and my feet were a little weak, but
I continued to walk steadily.
Out of the Jingwen Pavilion, several bloody corpses were lying in the doorway!
I tripped, and Yang Fan held me. “Be careful..”
I glanced at the bodies, which were the personal guards brought by the emperor. Yang Fan and
I walked hand in hand in the moonlight. It was a quiet night, but my heart was boiling
.
Regicide! Yang Fan killed the king!
I see it! And the only one who saw it. This is totally different from those things about lifting skirts and pinching buttocks in Beiwangfu!
Too, crazy, crazy, crazy!
He wiped the emperor’s neck, steady, accurate, ruthless, fast, a look is not what ordinary people do
.
I dare not look at Yang Fan, but I especially want to take a good look at him and get to know
him again.
My level of pretending to be blind is good, but his level of pretending to be honest is higher
than mine.
Of course, I have to keep calm and continue to pretend to be blind. If Yang Fan knew that I had seen him wipe
the emperor’s neck, it was estimated that he would be very skilled in wiping my neck.
Mom, it’s so exciting.
The emperor’s death was silent. Everyone thought the emperor was looking for a place to play again.
No one knew that he had come to Yang’s house that night, and everyone who knew was dead. Several servants in the
Yang Mansion disappeared inexplicably, all of whom had seen the emperor that night. During the
meal, I asked Yang Fan, “Tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the old imperial concubine of the King of the North. What should we give
her?”
Yang Fan said, “An ordinary gift is no good. You can’t lose face at your parents’ home. Just give the
peephole to the toffee.” I said gratefully, “Thank you, Xiao Yang!”
The next day, Yang Fan had a cold and was afraid of being ill to others, so I had to go to celebrate the birthday of the North
King’s toffee myself. Before I
left, Yang Fan gave me some instructions, and finally suddenly said, “Xiao Liu, don’t tell anyone about the emperor’s visit
.” “Has the emperor been here?”
I asked with a smile? I didn’t see it.
Yang Fan pinched my nose and said, “Go and come back soon.” At the
birthday party, everyone took turns to congratulate the old toffee, and when I put the cat’s eye stone in the middle
of the hall, there was a little commotion. The stone with
blue light has absorbed the blood of the emperor, and its beauty is even more strange.
Finally, the old toffee began to make a speech. When she
recalled the bitterness and thought of the sweetness, she suddenly mentioned her youngest son who had been missing for many years and sobbed
.
“My son, where on earth are you? Will I see you
in my mother’s lifetime?” Liu Hao, the King of
the North, stood aside to wipe his mother’s tears, a touching scene of filial piety. When
the birthday party was finally over, I stretched and prepared to go back. At that moment, the Northern King’s personal bodyguard, Xing Yao, sent a message: “Wang Yeh wants to have a
chat with his wife.” Liu Hao, dressed in
a sky-blue brocade robe, stood in the pavilion, elegant and beautiful.
I saluted him, and he looked at me. “Yin Yin, you are fat. You seem to
have a good life.”
I nodded. “That’s really good.”
Liu Hao looked slightly cold, and his tone became a little cold: “Let’s get down to business.”. Have you found anything while you’ve been with Yang Fan these
days? I
found out that Yang Fan killed the emperor. I
replied, “I didn’t find anything. I ate and slept and ate every day. The life
of a rich man is so simple and boring.”
Liu Hao was silent for a while and said, “I heard you had a miscarriage.”
“Yes.”
“Yin Yin, don’t give birth to Yang Fan’s child.” If I hadn’t been
blind, I would be rolling my eyes at him right now.
Ben Wang always felt that there was something wrong with Yang Fan. It wasn’t as simple as we saw. Yin Yin,
pay more attention. If you find anything, let Miaofu around you send word back.
“Yes, I understand. It’s getting late. I have to go back. Yang Fan asked me to come back early.” 「…… Then you go.
When I turned to go, he stopped me again and said, “Yin Yin, I will let you come back to me
.”
“Oh, thank you, Lord.”
Back home, Yang Fan was not there. He
usually doesn’t go out so late. He is an honest man.
I stewed chicken soup and waited for him to come back and drink a few mouthfuls to warm up. But after waiting for a long time, he didn’t come
back. I was sleepy, so I went to bed first.
He stayed out all night.
The next morning, when I got up, I saw Yang Fan sitting by the window drinking tea and eating cakes.
Xiao Liu, are you up? Come and have tea with your husband.
I sat down opposite him.
He handed me a piece of cake. I ate two bites and asked, “Where were you last night?” Without speaking,
he picked up a white jade teacup from the tray, filled it with hot tea, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom
.
In front of me, he poured the red powder from the small porcelain bottle into the teacup.
Then he pushed the cup in front of me. “Drink it, Xiao Liu. Tea made with dew smells good.”
This series of actions, he did flowing clouds and running water, the mood is relaxed, but also with a smile.
I suddenly understood that Yang Fan was testing me and deliberately drugged me in front of me to see if I
was really blind. He was suspicious of me.
I swallowed and slowly picked up the teacup. I
must drink this cup of tea as if I had not seen anything.
But this tea is blood-red and highly poisonous. The smile on
Yang Fan’s face had disappeared, and he looked at me with an expressionless face. His tone was
as gentle as ever: “Drink quickly, it’s already a little cold.”
I put the teacup to my mouth, ready to drink. Put it down
again.
“I remembered that the chicken soup I made last night was still simmering on the stove, so I went to the small kitchen to bring out the soup
.”
I got up and walked out trembling.
I have to run!
I’ve already checked it out. There’s a secret door in the backyard of the small kitchen, so you can go out of the house directly.
But after two steps, I suddenly felt dizzy and my legs were weak. Strange, I didn’t drink that cup of tea just now!
I looked back and saw an unpredictable smile at the corners of Yang Fan’s mouth.
Cake! He drugged the cake he just handed me!
I fell headlong and didn’t know anything. When
I woke up, my head was dizzy and my eyes were painful.
“Boom!” There was a loud noise. I was startled. “Ah!”
“Nothing, it’s thundering outside.” It was Yang Fan’s voice, and he was very familiar with my
shoulder.
I groped around, feeling like I was in bed with Yang Fan, and we were sleeping,
as usual every night.
“Xiao Yang, why is the room so dark?”
By rights, the lightning outside should light up the house. Why is it so dark that you can
‘t see your hand?
Yang Fan said, “Xiao Liu, there are candles in the room, because you can’t see, so of course
you feel dark.”
“I..”
I opened my eyes wide, put my hands in front of my eyes, and I couldn’t see anything. The eyes don’t feel any light, just tingling.
My heart missed a beat.
Yang Fan! What have you done to my eyes?
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Then why can’t I see?”
“Your ladyship is joking. Haven’t you always been blind?”
I was stunned and felt that I had been badly cheated.
I wasn’t blind before! You blinded me! It’s you! I waved my arms
wildly and tried to hit him.
He held my wrist with such force that I couldn’t move.
“Don’t talk nonsense, madam. Everyone knows you’ve been blind since you were a child. How
could I have blinded you?”
I was desperate. “Please, fix my eyes. I won
‘t say anything about that night.”
He leaned close to my ear and whispered, “What happened that night?”? What are you trying to say? As a blind man, will anyone believe what you
say?
I’m confused.
For so many years, everyone thought I was blind. If I suddenly said I saw Yang Fan kill the king and he blinded me, people would only think I was a crazy blind man. I
fell into the trap of my own lies, and I couldn’t wash it. It turns out that there is a price to pay for lying.
But the one who lies better than me is the man beside me, my husband.
This man, his wife, is too insidious. I used to think Liu Hao was insidious, but compared with Yang Fan, Liu Hao is simply a pure and lovely little naive.
Xiao Liu, why are you trembling? Is it cold? Yang Fan gently and thoughtfully put the quilt on my back.
“What do you want from me?”
“Not so good. I said I would be good to you all my life. I am a man who keeps his promise.”
Blinding my eyes, that’s good for me, huh?!
“Xiao Liu, what is Liu Hao’s purpose in bringing you to my side? You know it in your heart. You’ve been pretending to lie to me. It really hurts my feelings.” With a wounded tone, he became a victim.
But I’m willing to let bygones be bygones and start over with you. In the future, you will be my wife with peace of mind. I have no other request for you. The only thing is that you are not allowed to see Liu Hao.
I want to spit him in the face, ah Bah, who with you from the beginning! But I swallowed the saliva silently, if I didn’t want to be wiped by him.
“I didn’t tell Liu Hao anything.” I said in grievance.
I know, or it wouldn’t be so calm now. Xiao Liu, you’ve
done a good job. I’ll give you a reward. He gave me a cold kiss on the cheek. I was so
frightened that I hid to the side, sat down and fell off the bed.
“Ha ha ha, madam, you are so cute.” Yang Fan laughed heartlessly.
Next, there is a dark life. It’s
really dark. It’s pitch black. I pretended to be blind for so many years, and now I’m really blind
. In addition to the
loss of light, there is freedom. All the people
I brought from Beiwangfu were replaced, and Miaofu, who was arranged by Liu Hao beside me,
was also missing.
No matter where I go, someone follows me closely. As before,
Yang Fan came to accompany me every day and played a loving couple with me.
It’s just that we talk a lot less, and I don’t play the piano for him anymore. Once
I asked him, “When did you begin to suspect that I was pretending to be blind?”
He said, “You played a wrong note that night.” I knew what he meant, and when I saw him kill the king that night, I was shocked to play
a wrong note. It’s just one sound. It gives me away.
“Before, you pretended to be great. I never doubted you. I felt pity for you.” He sighed
, “Alas!” He
probably sighed that he had been cheated by the scum woman.
But, Xiao Liu, I appreciate you very much. You are very clever. If it was just pity before,
now I kind of like you.
“No, please don’t like me.”
After being a prisoner for ten days, Yang Fan said he would take me to the palace to pay his respects to the queen mother.
I was dressed up by him and carried to the carriage. When Empress Dowager
Yang received us, Xian Taifei was also on the side.
Everyone rambled for a while, and the Empress Dowager Yang mentioned the emperor worriedly.
“This boy is too fond of playing, and he doesn’t know where he’s been. He hasn’t seen anyone
for half a month.”
Boy, the emperor has disappeared for more than half a month, and the queen mother thought he was playing.
Also blame the emperor himself, once set a record of two months hiding in the brothel.
So everyone has become accustomed to his disappearance from time to time.
Anyway, the government was controlled by the queen mother and powerful ministers, and there was no need for him as a puppet emperor. “The Ai family has something they want to say to Fan.” Said the queen mother. Xian Taifei and
I came out wisely. Xian Taifei said goodbye to me and was ready to go back to take a nap
.
“Taffy, please stay.”
“What’s the matter, Mrs. Yang?” When I came out of the queen mother’s room
just now, I noticed carefully that no one was following me
. Yang Fan did not bring many people into the palace this time. Two of them were guarding the carriage, and two of them were guarding
the door of the main hall.
I leaned forward and said in a low voice, “Please ask Taifei Xian to do me a favor.”
“What kind of business?”
I said my request: to avoid Yang Fan’s eyes and ears, send me to Beiwangfu.
“Mrs. Yang, I don’t know what kind of
trouble you’re having with fu, but it’s not convenient for me to get involved with you and your wife. I’m sorry.”
I asked, “I don’t know what happened to the toffee and the old king of the north. Is it convenient for me to get involved?” An awkward
silence ensued.
Xian Taifei: What do you mean?!
Me: “If word gets out about the love affair between the late imperial concubine and her brother-in-law, I’m afraid it’s..” “What are you talking about?”
I’m not talking nonsense. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that the old North King put his hand into the skirt of Xian
Taifei, and Xian Taifei’s face was full of shame.
There was another silence.
I heard Xian Taifei sigh heavily. “All right, you come with me.”
Thank you, toffee. I’ll follow the toffee, and the toffee won’t try to silence her, or tomorrow the
love affair will be all over the city. “I didn’t expect you to be blind,”
said Hsien Tai-fei with a smile. “You have a lot of ideas.”
Xian Taifei was second only to the Empress Dowager in the harem, so she smuggled
me out of the palace without much effort.
All the way to Beiwangfu smoothly, I met Liu Hao.
Liu Hao is very surprised, “Yin Yin, what happened?”
I plopped down on my knees, tugged at the corner of his robe and said, “Wang Ye, don’t let me go back to Yang
Fan again!” What did
Yang Fan do to you?
“Wang Yeh promised not to send me back, and I will tell him where the emperor is.”
「…… Do you know where the emperor is? “Yes, except for Yang Fan, I’m the only one who knows.”
For a while, Liu Hao did not speak. I waited patiently for him to consider.
“Well, I promise I’ll protect you, and you’ll have nothing to do
with Yang Fan in the future.”
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I said, “The emperor is under house arrest in the Yang Mansion.”
I told Liu Hao that on the evening of the ninth day of last month, the emperor went to Yang Mansion in disguise to watch the Cat’s Eye Stone
. Yang Fan held a banquet to accompany him. During the banquet, the emperor asked Yang Fan to resign from the post of fu. Yang Fan suddenly
launched an attack and put the emperor under house arrest.
“Are you sure?”
I’m sure I can’t see it, but I can hear it. Today Yang Fan and the Empress Dowager
have sent me away. I guess they want to discuss the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of another one.
Got it. The situation is serious. Yin Yin, the palace is not safe. I’ll send you to a safer
place.
“Where is Wang Yeh going to send me?” His arrangement was beyond my expectation. “Are you going to
abandon me again?”
“No.” Liu Hao sighed and suddenly hugged me.
He had never held me before. “When I kill Yang Fan and rescue the emperor, I will bring you back and never separate
you again.”
I hugged him back, feeling his warmth so close for the first time. “Then I’ll wait for Wang Yeh, and
Wang Yeh will certainly keep his promise.”
Liu Hao asked his confidant Shi Weixing to send me away. I don’t know where
they took me, but I know it was in the mountains.
Girl, this is Wang Yeh’s other garden. It’s very secluded. Yang Fan can’t find you. You settle down here
for a while, and when the dust settles, Wang Yeh will come to pick you up. Xing Yao said.
Liu Hao’s so-called “the dust has settled” should be to get rid of Yang Fan. A more ideal situation
is to add a yellow robe to his body by the way, which fulfills his dream of being an emperor.
Maybe, when the time comes, I can be an imperial concubine?
One night, I lay in bed, recalling my past with Liu Hao, which was also a wonderful story of a prodigal
son and a beautiful woman. I could have kept him all the time if Yang Fan had not appeared
.
Suddenly, I heard a strange noise outside.
Someone opened the door and came in. After wandering around the room for a while, one
of them said, “It’s strange. It’s so late. Where are you?”
Another said, “Hsien Tai-fei has an order. Be sure to uproot it. There’s a yard behind it.
Let’s go and look for it again.”
I hid under the bed and didn’t dare to breathe. It was not until there was no movement outside that he climbed out with trepidation and stumbled out
.
“There he is, after him!”
They found me. I
could only run as fast as I could and catch the glimmer of life in the darkness. My life is
always like this, when I see a little light, I will be immediately swallowed up by more terrible darkness.
Running, the foot suddenly stepped on the air, a whirl.
I think I fell down from the cliff, my body seems to be broken, and I can’t
stand up. Lying
on the ground for a long time, sometimes falling asleep, sometimes waking up from pain, and then slowly able to stand
up.
I limped and walked aimlessly, and with good luck, I found a village.
The villagers temporarily took me in, cleaned my wounds, gave me some food, and then
drove me away.
I understand them. They are too poor to afford one more mouth. All the money
in the world is in the pockets of Liu, Yang, Wang and Cui families.
With nowhere to go, hurt and blind, I wandered all the way down and out. I
used to be the daughter of a beggar. I became the daughter of Qin. I entered the palace. Later, I became the princess. I entered
the rich and powerful family. I became the young lady of Yang. Not long ago, I had a dream of being an imperial concubine.
Then God woke me up with a slap and let me inherit the mantle of my parents and become a
beggar again.
Don’t tell me, my daily income from begging is not bad. A weak woman
who can’t see can always win more people’s pity.
It was a very cold day, with rain and snow. I crouched in the corner, speechless and sentimental.
I am sad that there are few pedestrians today, so I can’t get a few pennies. I should be hungry.
At that moment, I heard the sound of footsteps, from far to near, and finally stopped in front
of me. “Kind-hearted people, please give the little girl a little money to eat.” I pray
weakly.
The man did not speak, and I did not hear the sound of the copper coins falling to the ground. So
the man stood before me, and the wind blew the feet of his robe and brushed my face.
I can feel it. It’s good fabric. I
didn’t dare to raise my head. I buried my head very deeply. I hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively, “Wang
Yeh?” Has the dust
finally settled and Liu Hao come to “pick me up”? After
waiting for a long time, I heard the man say, “Xiao Liu.” I looked up and smiled at him with what I thought was a fearless smile. “You’ve found me like this
. Are you here to silence me?”
After all, I’m the only one who knows about his regicide.
Yang Fan said, “Xiao Liu, you’ve been out there for so long. Have you had enough?”? Come home
with me.
At this moment, I knew that Liu Hao had lost, and the final winner was Yang Fan. Why did
I think Yang Fan was a waste? I’m so blind. After
thinking for a while, I decided to go back with him. Being a blind lady
of a rich and powerful family is more comfortable than being a beggar. On the way
back, he kept disliking me:
“Xiao Liu, you are so smelly.”
“Xiao Liu, you have lice in your hair.”
“Is that shit on your feet, Xiao Liu?”
……
I also finally understand what happened during this period.
After I “informed,” Liu Hao instigated the Wang and Cui families to launch a “punitive expedition” against the Yang
family. But Yang Fu turned upside down, did not find the emperor under house arrest. Just then, someone found the emperor’s body in the pond in the backyard of Beiwangfu. The two big families,
Wang and Cui, immediately drew a clear line with the King of the North. That night, Yang Fan led the imperial guards
to surround the King of the North.
Liu Hao fought his way out and disappeared into the night. There were hundreds of people in Beiwangfu, but they were sealed
in the palace. For a whole month, dozens of people starved to death. The young prince,
who was only two years old, ascended the throne, and the empress Dowager Yang ruled from behind the curtain, assisted by Grand Sima Yang Fan
. No one in
the court dares to “bully” Yang Fan anymore.
Next, someone advised Yang Fan to get rid of the blind fake princess of Beiwangfu, and several big families
wanted to marry their daughters to him.
Yang Fan ran a long way and found me, a beggar, to take back and continue to be a lady. When I got
home, I took a good bath and washed out two big pots of mud.
Yang Fan personally helped me comb the lice. The comb gently combed my long hair. I wondered if he was so
gentle that he could comb the lice down.
He pulled my hair back from my shoulder, ran his fingers across my jaw and rested them on my neck
. With his long
white hands, killing the emperor was like killing a chicken. I still can’t
forget that scene.
Of course, if these hands were to kill me now, it would be no harder than killing a chicken. He stood motionless, and I sat motionless, creating a “stalemate.”. I
His throat, rolling between his fingers.
Finally, he wrapped his hands around my chest, encircled me, and leaned over to kiss the top of my
head.
“Xiao Liu, I’m sorry. I was looking at you in the mirror just now. You’re so beautiful. I was
stunned.” After
combing his hair and changing his clothes, Yang Fan took me to say hello to his mother. Old Mrs.
Yang did not want to show her face. She asked Yang Fan bluntly, “Why do you still keep this woman
?”
Yang Fan said, “After all, I am sorry for her.” After he came out of his
mother’s room, I asked him, “Xiao Yang, what did you do to me
?”
His hand brushed my eyes. “Your eyes, it’s my fault.” The
holiday was quiet for a few days, and the real storm came again.
Liu Hao gathered the imperial clan troops in the field and fought back in a mighty way. He
insisted that he did not kill the king, but was framed by the traitor Yang Fan to do justice for heaven.
Yang Fan is very busy these two days. He doesn’t go home during the day and comes back very late at night. That night, I came back later than he did. He asked me, “Xiao Liu, your eyes are
not good. Why did you go out so late?”? Aren’t you afraid of the dark?
“I’ll tell you again, Xiao Yang, the blind are not afraid of the dark.”
“Just be afraid for a while, and let your husband protect you.” We didn’t sleep
this night.
Yang Fan lay beside me, breathing evenly. But I know he’s awake.
Liu Hao has Chen Bing outside the city, tomorrow is the war, the winner and the loser, in this war.
“Xiao Liu, what will you do if I lose?” He suddenly asked me.
“I can set off firecrackers. Your bad deeds have finally been punished.”
He laughed. “You are wrong. My husband has only done one bad thing in his life, and that is regicide
.”
After a pause, he added, “But I feel that I have done a good deed. One more day of that fatuous monarch
‘s reign, the government will continue to be corrupt.”
“I’m only sorry for you.” He turned sideways and hugged me.
Soon, he fell asleep. The
expected fierce battle did not start the next day. The bodyguard beside Liu Hao turned against him, drugged him in wine, tied him up, and sent him to the city gate
.
Yang Fan won without a fight.
However, several big families do not agree to kill Liu Hao, the reason is that he did not
sit on the charge of regicide, but also the only brother of the first emperor, royal blood, how can rashly kill?
In fact, they all have their own little ninety-nine. To leave Liu Hao is to leave a
thorn for Yang Fan to check and balance him in the future. The clansmen who sent troops
for Liu Hao were still outside the city and refused to withdraw for a long time on the condition that Liu Hao was released
.
In order to calm people’s minds, Yang Fan unsealed Beiwangfu and allowed courtiers to visit the old Beiwang
Taifei.
I said to Yang Fan, “Take me to Beiwangfu.”
Yang Fan grabbed my hand, pinched it hard, and let it go.
Beiwangfu is very lively, Yang Fan’s political opponents are gathered here, as if finally found the
party organization.
My arrival caused a lot of commotion.
The main reason is that the old toffee is more restless. “Get her out of here,”
she said coldly, pointing at me. “I don’t want to see the Yang family
!” “Taffy, don’t get excited. Do you want to see your son?” “I’ll see him soon,”
the toffee said coldly. “Don’t bother Mrs. Yang.”
Yes, they are discussing the matter of forcing the empress Dowager and the little emperor to release Liu Hao.
The empress Dowager is weak, the little emperor is ignorant, and it is easy to be controlled by others.
No, no, toffee, I mean your youngest son, Liu. Would you like to see him?
「…… Do you, do you know where my son is?
“Apart from Liu Hao, I’m the only one who knows.”
Really? Where is he?
I cleared my throat and said to the crowd, “Three years ago, Liu was pushed into the
well by Liu Hao.”
Then I added, “I saw it with my own eyes.” After
a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter.
“Ha ha, a blind person, she said she saw it with her own eyes?!” The assistant minister, Zhao Ceng, smiled especially
happily.
“Who says I’m blind?” I looked at Zhao with bright eyes.
He stared at me for a moment, then came over and held out two fingers in front of my nose.
“What’s this?” I slapped him in the face and shouted, “Two!”
The crowd was stunned.
Without giving them time to digest, I immediately threw out the next big news:
“Liu is in the barren well by the pond in the backyard.”
“Heresy deceives the public!” “How could the King of the North kill his own brother
?”
“I’d like to see if my son is really in that well.” The old toffee suddenly spoke.
I turned to look at her. I couldn’t see her expression clearly, but I could feel her sadness.
“If I live without seeing a man and die without seeing a corpse, I will not turn in my grave.” She said, “Dig
a well!” The well beside the pond in the backyard
of Wangfu was abandoned three years ago and covered with a huge
stone.
I’m sure Liu’s body is still inside. Because the well is so deep, it would take a lot of manpower for the killer to pull up the body of a
grown man. There are many
people in the palace, and they are bound to be exposed. It took
eight able-bodied men two hours to fish up a dry bone. The clothes on the
dry bones had been soaked in water, and it was impossible to identify them from their clothes. But
the jade crown he wears on his head can prove his identity-the second son of the old North King, Liu
. The old toffee fainted on the spot, woke up after a while, and began to cry loudly,
full of breath. This old lady is the leather solid, before the closure of the house for a month, the servants are starving to death
, she also gained weight. Between
Liu’s sternum, a sharp blade with a golden handle was deeply inserted. This sharp blade is special
in shape and quality. It was given to him by the late emperor when Liu Hao conferred the title of prince.
Liu Hao’s charge of killing his younger brother was confirmed. How could
a man who killed his own brother not kill the king?
The old toffee said, “I don’t want Liu Hao’s rebellious son. You can
do whatever you like with him.” Turn around and leave.
The rest of the people, also not good for Liu Hao platform, as birds and beasts scattered.
Liu Hao’s crime soon spread throughout the capital. Clansman outside the city heard, also sadly retreat
.
Two days later, the empress Dowager decreed that Liu Hao would die.
In the death row, I met Liu Hao.
He is still as handsome and beautiful as the handsome young man when I first met him.
He looked at me and said with a smile, “Yin Yin, you are awesome.”
Yeah, I’m really good. Which one is better to pretend to be blind? No one will rob me. “It’s just a little revenge. Who told you to blind me?” I winked my big eyes at
him.
I know that my eyes were not broken by Yang Fan.
That day, it was indeed Yang Fan who put medicine in the cake, which made me dizzy. He really didn’t trust
me at that time, and he was afraid that I would run around and shake off his regicide. After
I fainted, he left me in the bedroom, let Miaofu take good care of me, and went out to do something urgent
. In
a daze, I felt that someone opened my eyelids and saw a vague figure
, which was a wonderful blessing.
Then I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found I couldn’t see.
Yang Fan thought I was cheating on him at that time, but later found out that my eyes were really hurt
by the medicine.
He immediately called in a doctor to treat me.
Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and a few days later, I could see again, but my eyesight was still
greatly affected. I can’t see clearly at a distance. I can’t see at night. I’m half blind.
For this reason, he has been very guilty, if he did not make me dizzy, others have no chance to
hurt my eyes.
This “someone else” is Miaofu, Liu Hao’s confidant. What is the purpose of Liu Hao to blind me? Maybe he realized that I betrayed him and went to
Yang Fan?
Yes, I did choose Yang Fan.
In the days when I treated my eyes, I opened my heart to Yang Fan and expressed my intention.
He is willing to treat me wholeheartedly, and I am willing to help him.
Deal.
Next, I “escaped” from the palace to Beiwangfu. Because it was Xian Taifei who sent me here
, Liu Hao did not suspect. I pretended to lie, cheated Liu Hao’s trust, and
led him into Yang Fan’s trap.
Things basically go according to plan, the only small accident is that I was taken to the mountains
by Liu Hao to hide, halfway was chased and killed, fell off the cliff.
Yang Fan broke down and looked for me. When he found me, I almost became the leader
of the Beggars’ Sect by pretending to be a fool. The night before
Liu Hao was at the gate and would fight a decisive battle with Yang Fan, his bodyguard Xing Yao received
a letter signed by Mrs. Yang.
Xingyao came to the appointed place in the letter and saw me.
I said, “Xingyao, if Liu Hao wins this battle, you’ll have to go back and be a gigolo for the old toffee
.”
Xing Yao’s face was pale when he ascended. When I was a maid in the palace, I saw the old toffee pinching Xingyao’s buttocks every day.
Her harassment of him was a common occurrence, and the child Xingyao could only swallow his pride.
Now, he very not easy to follow Liu Hao out, get rid of the old toffee’s claws, if
Liu Hao fight back, when the emperor, the old toffee became the old queen mother, star life
really can not live. After
struggling for a while, Xingyao decided to work with me.
Back in the camp, he drugged Liu Hao’s wine, tied him up and presented him to Yang Fan.
That’s all.
Liu Hao held the wall of the cell and looked very sad. “If I break your
eyes, you will kill me.” Yin Yin, have you completely forgotten
the kindness of knowing each other?
No, no, Wang Yeh’s kindness is unforgettable. But I can’t forget
that Wang Yeh killed my parents.
At that time, the first emperor and Liu Hao went to the brothel together. On the way, my parents stopped their carriage
and asked them to eat. My little daughter was starving to death.
Drunk Liu Hao kicked my father in the chest, and my father died immediately. My mother jumped on him and
was stopped by the bodyguard, who cut him into two pieces with a knife.
I was there with my eyes wide open. After
entering the workshop, I began to pretend to be blind. I can’t see anything. I don’t know
anything. Liu Hao at this time, showing a confused expression, it seems that he did not remember when to kill my
parents. A noble man like
him, killing the common people is as casual as killing an ant.
Then don’t blame me for squeezing him to death.
He sat down by the wall and bowed his head. The whole figure suddenly lost its strength. “Yin
Yin, you can go.”
I walked out of the cell door and looked back at him through the iron gate.
One last look, not in the next life.
In fact, he is also very good to me.
I still remember that three years ago, on the birthday of Princess Laobei, I sang a song and won full applause
. After the
party, a maid called me to the pond in the backyard, and she ran away
.
Suddenly someone hugged me from behind and said, “Lou Kongyin, you are so
beautiful.”
It’s Liu.
I struggled violently, calling for help, and he grabbed me by the neck. When I was about to suffocate, Liu Hao appeared. He fought with Liu and finally
stabbed him in the chest and threw him into the well.
“Yin Yin, it’s all right. I’ll protect you.” The young man said so to me.
Three years later, he treated me as an obedient spy and personally sent me to Yang Fan.
People’s hearts, I can’t see through them.
It’s better to be blind.
Back home, Yang Fan said nothing and hugged me quietly for a long time.
Xiao Liu, it’s spring. The camellias are in bloom. Let me show you.
“All right, just stop fooling me about the barren mountains.”
“Her ladyship’s eyes are bright, but she is determined not to do it for her husband.”
We came to the mountain again. At this moment, the sea of flowers is turbulent and boundless.
I can’t see clearly, but I can feel the beauty of the fire cooking oil.
“Xiao Yang, when you retire, let’s live here.”
Still waiting for retirement? Resign immediately!
No, I still want to be the wife of a high official. I still want you to usurp the throne and I will be the queen
. When you were dead, I thought about getting my wife addicted. “Ha ha, OK, let’s enjoy the delicious food of power together.”
“Awesome.”
Liu Hao
had never known that a blind man could have such beautiful eyes.
He sat for a long time in the flower hall of the teaching workshop, staring at the blind girl who played the piano.
Unscrupulously appreciate a strange beauty, but not afraid of her to know. This feeling is really
cool.
Her eyes are round almond eyes, the pupils are black and bright, and the size is moderate. Apart from the blankness
of his eyes, he could not see any difference from the eyes of normal people. The mother of the
workshop said that when the girl first came to the workshop, her eyes were good, but suddenly she had a serious
illness, a high fever for three days, and after she recovered, she could not see.
Liu Hao suddenly felt pity and asked his mother, “What’s the girl’s name?”
“The empty sound of the building.”
Lou Kongyin, what a beautiful name, what a beautiful person, the key is still a blind man, more flavor
.
He left a bag of pearls on the table. “This blind beauty is the king’s man.”
Liu Hao did not let Lou Kongyin know that she was redeemed by him personally. His royal relatives and nobles have taken a fancy to a Qin girl. It’s a shame to spread the word. Not long after
Lou Kongyin arrived at the palace, Liu Hao left her by his side. Then he found that although the girl was blind and not stupid, she seemed to be able to see through everything, but she was very good at pretending to be stupid when she should be stupid.
Truly a clever beauty of ice and snow, rare in the world. Although
the heart is fiery, but Liu Hao has always maintained her pride as a master. Until that day, when he saw his drunken brother taking advantage of her by the pond, his anger rushed to his forehead and rushed up.
The result was very tragic, and his brother Liu was killed by him.
He stared at the dark mouth of the well for a long time. In fact, he wanted to kill Liu very early, but did not expect this dream to come true so suddenly.
He turned around and saw the empty sound of the building. She was standing not far away. His face was blank, pitiful and lovely.
Liu Hao suddenly lost his armor, and all his pride was gone. In front of his beloved girl, he became a pure teenager.
“Yin Yin, it’s all right. I’ll protect you.” He said quietly, as if nothing had happened. “Thank you very much, Lord,”
she said with a soft and beautiful smile.
Liu disappeared, and there was a lot of trouble in the palace.
About Liu’s death, Liu Hao is not sure how much Lou Kongyin knows. He killed Liu Nuo’s process, even if she could not see, but certainly heard the voice. But she never asks, she never mentions, she’s plain. It’s just that every time Liu Hao talks to her closely, her face turns red.
Liu Hao often thought, such a girl, a lifetime to accompany their side, really can be satisfied. In the spring of
that year, the old king of the north died, and Liu Hao succeeded him. He was much busier than before, but he had been thinking about one thing all the time-when autumn came, at the birthday party of the old toffee, he would announce that Nalou Kongyin was Lady Ru.
This idea, he did not tell her in advance, he wanted to see the beauty when the surprise appearance.
Later, whenever he thought of this decision, he was extremely regretful. Why wait until autumn? Why don’t you marry her quickly? A moment of waste, forever missed. One day in
early summer, the idle emperor came to Beiwangfu to chat.
Liu Hao’s younger sister, Liu Jia, has a good relationship with the emperor, and pulls his dragon robe to act like a spoiled child.
“The emperor’s brother, Jia’er doesn’t want to marry Yang Fan..”
“Oh?”? Then don’t marry!
Liu Hao laughed and said, “The little girl is fooling around again. The emperor doesn’t have to worry about her.” But
the emperor said with a straight face, “I don’t want Jia’er to marry into the Yang family either. Sooner or later, I will get rid of the Yang family. If Jia’er marries into the Yang family, she will only be involved.” “But if you cancel the engagement for no reason, I’m afraid..” Liu Hao-wei said. With a big wave of his hand,
the emperor said, “That’s easy. There’s no need to cancel the engagement. You can just find a woman and
marry her as a princess.” Holding his chin,
the emperor thought for a moment and asked, “I was quite impressed by the blind
girl who played the piano at the banquet just now. What was her name?”
Liu Chia-chiang replied, “The building is empty.” She is the
only one. I have decreed that Lou Kongyin should be granted the title of Princess of the Northern Prince’s Mansion, and that she should be given the surname of Liu, and that she should choose a day
to marry Yang.
Liu Hao was surprised. “Your Majesty, she can’t do it!”
“Why not?”
“She comes from a humble background and is blind. How could the Yang family be willing?”.
The emperor laughed sadly. “I like to do things that the Yang family doesn’t want to do.”
Liu Hao frowned and said nothing more after all.
The idea was given by the emperor, and the pot had to be carried by Liu Hao. Everyone thought that he had deliberately humiliated
the Yang family and changed the princess into a blind maid to marry Yang Fan.
Lou Kongyin thought so, too, and she was cold.
Liu Hao could only say to her, “After you get married, pay more attention to the Yang family and pass on the news
to me.”. If we bring down the Yang family sooner, I’ll be able to bring you back sooner. “Wang Ye,” said Lou Kongyin, “if I get married, you won’t be able to choose
what happens next.”
Liu Hao only thought she was angry.
But he didn’t expect that she really chose Yang Fan. For the sake of Yang Fan,
she completely betrayed him and plunged him into the abyss beyond redemption.
He didn’t expect that she had been pretending to be blind. The blind girl he likes, who needs to be pitied and
protected, only exists in his imagination.
But he also did something wrong to her. When
she got married and became pregnant, he ordered Miaofu to take abortion pills and abort her child.
But she didn’t have her eyes broken by Miaofu. The only person who
had the opportunity and motive to break her eyes was
Yang Fan.
And Yang Fan can do it. In the
death row, Liu Hao did not clarify himself to Lou Kongyin, he thought, probably she knew everything
in her heart, but she deliberately ignored. She knew what kind of person Yang Fan was, and she still preferred
to cooperate with him.
She is a dangerous woman, Yang Fan is a dangerous man, two dangerous people play together
, can have a good time.
I just don’t know who can play with whom in the end, and who will be played by whom. Anyway, Liu Hao can’t see the end. Before
Lou Kongyin came to death row, Liu Hao took the poison. When she left death row, he started poisoning her.
He sat down against the wall and said the last words of his life to her with all his strength, “Yin Yin, you go.”
She looked back at him sadly through the bars, and the moment their eyes collided, the whole play ended.
(End)
