MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 74v4 Merry old days

Jing Hengbo has been staying for several days.

Those patients seldom come out in broad daylight, and after failing to demonstrate to her, they shrank in the room. At night, a group of demons came out to dance.

During the day, someone came to deliver three meals and medicinal soup, and she put them aside for her to pick up by herself. Qiu Jinfeng didn't ask her, and prescribed the medicine. But she doesn't eat those rough foods, Yeluqi provides them. According to Yeluqi, the island is densely forested, there are many hares and grouse, and there are countless fish and shrimps in the lake. From time to time, you can go to the kitchen in Qiu Jinfeng's yard to steal rice, oil, salt and bacon. Qiu Jinfeng himself is not very good at martial arts, he is good at poison and medicine, and there are formations outside the island, but they are ineffective against Yeluqi, so he can only watch helplessly as the whole bag of rice in the kitchen is missing, and it is all the best quality polished rice.

Qiu Jinfeng's medicine seems to be very overbearing, every day Jing Hengbo can see all kinds of horrible things at the bottom of the bowl. After drinking, I often fall into lethargy. In my sleep, I can feel the burning heat in my body like a furnace, and I wake up sweating profusely. Every time she wakes up, she can see a basin of hot water on the table, covered with a snow-white cloth towel, and she can only look up at the bamboo building and smile. Listen to the quiet and elegant flute sound from over there.

Yeluqi didn't see her very much, so he cut a bamboo flute and used it as a name to inform her to eat or get something. She often wakes up from her lethargy to see her new gift. Sometimes there is a string of handmade wind chimes hanging from the window, made of fresh flowers and bamboo slices. The crystal threads are strung together in a patchwork pattern. The petals are pink, pink and yellow, delicate and bright, and the bamboo slices are green and snowy white. When the wind passes by, there is no bell. It is crisp and dazzling, but it has the fragrance of flowers and the elegance of bamboo. That bamboo wind chime decorated her window, even those lunatics who passed under her window would raise their faces unconsciously and stare at it for a long time. After a long time, some brilliance appeared in his eyes, like tears, like memories of past life in the world.

Sometimes it is all kinds of things made of straw, with so many tricks that you can set up a stage, including the world's strange animals and hundreds of civil and military officials. Among them are three dolls, one riding on a horse and waving a whip, and the other standing beside a pot with sleeves rolled up, One is sitting under a tree and fishing. Jing Hengbo smiled at the three dolls for a while, and put them on the table. When he was in a good mood, he sat by the table in a daze and muttered to the dolls; when he was in a bad mood, he hung up the fishing doll. He sneered for a while.

Sometimes it is a cluster of rare wild flowers, and the bottle with the wild flowers shone in seven colors under the sun. If you look closely, the bottle is just an ordinary porcelain bottle, but it is covered with a layer of shiny fish scales. , colorful under the sun, different angles can change different colors, that bottle uses thousands of fish scales, she looks at the bottle for a long time like looking at a kaleidoscope, thinking about that person, a pair of gentle fingers, I don’t know how much time it takes, Doing such meticulous work that is difficult for ordinary people, thinking of him collecting fish scales of the same size left over from killing fish, slowly boiling glue in rainy days, and sticking fish scales to clay bottles little by little, the days seem to be because of such ingenuity and mind, and turn decay into magic.

There is no one in this world who is born to do his best for others. Behind that heart is Lian Lianqing. He is a noble son in the fireworks of the world. .

Jing Hengbo was a little worried about his poison. The prescriptions and elixirs prescribed by Si Rongming only cured the symptoms but not the root cause. After a long time, it is uncertain when they will lose their effect. Oftentimes, she was conflicted. She was also afraid that Gong Yin would find him, and she was afraid that if he found him, her illness would catch him before he recovered. She also hoped that he would find him. After he found him, maybe Yeluqi would have a chance to detoxify. In this kind of conflicted mood, when she gets up every day, she can't help but look at the skylight, and then let out a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to be grateful or disappointed.

I have to say that Qiu Jinfeng's healing method is very weird, but it is very effective. She drank the weird medicine for a few days, and the low-grade fever went away. The pimples on her face began to fall off, and her vomiting and dizziness improved. She was thinking about trying to get a chance to repair the relationship with Qiu Jinfeng, or ask him to help her understand the child's situation for a long time, but this guy is very weird, he doesn't care about it, and he hasn't come in person so far.

This courtyard has always been very strange. Every night, you can see those generals, noble concubines, princesses, and princes shaking like ghosts. They don’t seem to need to sleep. During the day, they stay in the shade of the trees, and they seem to be afraid of the sun. They are often sorted by rank, one visits one , After the visit, we gather together and cry. The men and women inside were all wearing white robes, but she gradually discovered that these people actually changed their clothes every day. Every day they changed their clothes to different silks and satins, all of which were white. They wore them for a cycle and changed them again, but never washed them , so everything looks similarly dirty. Jing Hengbo also found that they are often poorly educated, but occasionally they can show an unusual demeanor. She once saw a lunatic eat an egg with a golden cup in front of him, put the egg in the golden cup, and use a A dirty iron spoon that didn't match the gold cup at all, cracked the egg very gracefully and gracefully, then took two bites and ate it, then put the spoon down.

This is completely aristocratic style. For a while, Emperor Ge was also popular in eating eggs like this. He said that it was a shame to peel the eggs. It was considered dirty to let the maids peel them. Eggs are the most noble and elegant way to eat, especially when the eggs are boiled into a semi-liquid form, and only two bites are taken, which is regarded as aristocratic pie.

This kind of perverted attention to the way of eating is naturally not only eggs, it is reflected in all aspects of the daily life of the nobles in the wilderness, and it often forms a habit, which is the so-called noble education they are proud of.

At night, Jing Hengbo discovered that the guy who ate eggs elegantly took out the egg that had been scooped up twice from under the hidden stone, hid behind the tree, held it with his dirty paws, and took three bites. Finished.

Jing Hengbo was speechless for a long time.

The weird feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Waking up one morning, smelling the fragrance of medicine coming from Yeluqi's bamboo tower, and looking at the hazy sky above her head, she suddenly found that the time for Yeluqi to boil medicine seemed to be getting earlier and earlier.

She got up, pushed open the door, and looked at the bamboo building. The door of the bamboo building was closed. Yeluqi should know that she got up, but there was no response.

She was worried, but she didn't try to enter the bamboo building. Yeluqi wanted to avoid her, but it was useless for her to disturb her.

Turning around, I saw a corner of a black robe quickly disappearing behind the door of the main house.

The boy in black was looking at the bamboo building again.

Jing Hengbo was sure that it was that kind of unkind look again.

She frowned slightly, and suddenly heard movement behind her, turned around and saw a young girl looking at her timidly. She remembered that this young girl was called the county head in other people's mouth.

The girl was also wearing a dirty but fine white robe, but there was already a tear in the robe, and the tear was still near the crotch. This was already very bad, and what was even worse was that through the torn robe, she saw a faint redness on the girl's trousers.

The girl stared at the fish dumpling in her hand, couldn't help swallowing, but covered her stomach again, with a slightly pained expression on her face.

Jing Hengbo looked at her, at the group of patients who were muttering to themselves, sighed, and pulled her into the room.

Seeing her blood-stained robe, just sitting on the stool he wiped clean, Jing Hengbo couldn't help sighing again. Sighing, he handed the dumpling to her. While she was devouring it, Jing Hengbo found a smaller piece of clothing in his bag, cut out the quilt and bed sheet, and sewed a long belt with buttons on both ends. waist.

She handed the item to the girl and said, "It's changed."

The girl held up her oily fingers and stared at her blankly.

A hand suddenly stretched out from under the window, slowly approaching the unfinished dumplings on the table.

Jing Hengbo pushed open the window with a snap, and retracted his hand with a snap. A large area of ​​dirty faces was raised under the window, and those princesses and concubines squatted under the window with disheveled hair and dirty faces, staring greedily at the dumplings.

"Look, what are you looking at?" Jing Hengbo raised his hand and knocked on the forehead of the nearest woman, "Do you know what to eat? The purpose of survival is to pretend to be a house and eat? I know that I am seriously ill. Abandoned, there seems to be nothing to pursue except to eat, but is your life really just living like a walking dead?"

The group of people raised their heads stupidly, their eyes glazed over, as if they didn't understand what she was talking about.

"Look at her, look at her," Jing Hengbo dragged the girl up from the dumpling plate, and dragged her in front of the group of girls, "You are sick, crazy, and you are thrown here, forgetting that you were born human, But is it because of the instinct of a woman? Didn’t you see her coming to Guishui? Didn’t you see that she was about to show her flesh? Even if you have forgotten everything, have you forgotten the instinct of being a woman and a mother? Just like this Is she dangling in front of those men?"

The group of women stared blankly, their eyes turned to the girl's crotch, the girl stood stupidly, laughed, and whispered: "Stomach hurts..."

"Then don't just focus on eating!" Jing Hengbo handed her the clothes, "Take it and change it! Especially the pants! This thing, put cotton wool on it, and use it..." She gestured to the girl, "I'll help you with it later. Qiu Jinfeng needs cloth, or washes and cuts the clothes you don't wear, you know you need to change them frequently! Do you know that you can't soak in cold water for a few days and don't eat randomly?"

The girl nodded obediently, and Jing Hengbo signaled her to go to his toilet to change. Turning back to the group of dirty women, he said: "If you know how to eat when you eat, you won't be able to wash your clothes? You know how to change your clothes every day, so what's the point of changing the dirty ones every day? Don't you know how to comb your hair? You got it!" If you are sick, should you spoil yourself? The good old days are gone, don’t you know how to live as ordinary people? No one treats you as human beings, so don’t you treat yourself as human beings? In this lake The broken house in Xindao calls ten thousand concubines and princesses, but their lives are not human, do you have the face to call them?"

The group of people raised their faces, still staring at her blankly, but their eyes gradually became brighter and moist.

It seemed that someone was sobbing softly.

Jing Hengbo went out, picked up a random person, walked to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and said, "Take off your clothes and wash."

The woman who claimed to be a noble concubine slowly took off her outer skirt, but stared at the skirt in a daze, with a look of incomprehension.

Jing Hengbo threw her dirty clothes over her face, "Smell it!"

He took out his sachet and put it in front of her nose, "Smell it!"

The woman's eyes lit up, and her nose moved closer. Jing Hengbo has quickly put away the sachet, and said with a sneer, "Is it fragrant? Are you familiar? Have you used it before? Do you miss it? Do you feel uncomfortable? Look at yourself now, Do you still use something so fragrant?"

The woman lowered her head, and after a while, said in a low voice: "...I'm sick."

"I'm sick too! I still have a child! I don't know if there is anything wrong with the child in my stomach!"

"...I...I used to..."

"I'm still a queen! Who the **** hasn't had a good life, but am I like you? Look up, look at me!"

The woman raised her face, and Jing Hengbo raised her chest and put her hips on her hips, "I am also sick, and I am also degraded. What do I look like, what do you look like, do you have the face to cry with me?" Kicking the bucket, "I wash my own clothes, Cleaning, cooking, and taking care of yourself, you have hands and feet, why can't you? Why can't you take better care of yourself? Wash your clothes, hurry up, it stinks to death!"

The woman watched her for a long time, squatted down, and without waiting for Jing Hengbo to teach her, she scrubbed and washed the clothes by herself, and her movements were actually very skillful.

After washing and hanging the clothes to dry, she suddenly said: "I used to stay in the laundry department..."

"It's not impossible, I just forgot. While thinking about the past, I was obsessed with the present." Jing Hengbo sighed, fetched a basin of water, reluctantly took out his wooden basin, and said, "Take a bath."

Seeing that woman showed a frightened expression again, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't wash, get out of here!"

The woman hesitated for a long time before stepping into the bathtub. The rest of the people watched silently and surrounded her automatically to block her.

Jing Hengbo always carried washing and cleaning supplies with him. After sneaking out with Yeluqi, he went to a branch of a shopping mall in Luoyun to pick up a series of women's supplies. Now he reluctantly took out half a set to help the Women take a bath.

As soon as the woman took off her baggy clothes, she realized that her stomach was as big as a drum, protruding with blue veins and bloodshot eyes, like a pregnant woman, and there was a gurgling sound in her stomach, which sounded familiar, and she was stunned. Said: "You are from the Ministry of Floating Water!"

The woman didn't answer, she turned her head to look at the other people, only to realize that these people, no matter what the external lesions were, had a big belly, but it was hidden by the extremely loose robes, so it was not obvious all the time.

The people of the Fushui Department are close to the Fushui Swamp, and affected by the local swamp, they have special physiques. The most obvious feature is the sound of Gulu Gulu. Later, the Fushui Royal Family invited a famous doctor, who is Si Rongming's master doctor, to change the royal family's physique, Gulu It was replaced by hiccups. Jing Hengbo once complained about this matter, because she thought the hiccups were more disgusting.

She faintly felt that something was wrong with this matter. Could this group of people really have something to do with the Ministry of Floating and Water?

It took three big basins of water to bathe the so-called "imperial concubine". The first time it came out, it was covered with black water and skin flakes. The third time it was barely clear water, and it took Jing Hengbo half a piece of pancreas.

The hair was tangled into lumps, like bread, and Jing Hengbo wore two layers of masks, like a gas mask, to escape the lethal force of the "poisonous gas".

The things that Jing Hengbo used were all the best things produced in the women's shopping mall, they were more delicate than those of the royal family, and the aroma was so strong that everyone in the yard looked over. There is no woman in the world who can resist such a temptation. The eyes of the group of women are shining, and they are getting tighter and tighter.

After washing, Jing Hengbo refused to contribute his own clothes again. Fortunately, the summer sun was strong, and the clothes he had washed earlier were almost dry, so he put them on for the woman. Jing Hengbo combed her hair, and then passed a mirror.

The woman took the mirror and looked at it, and said "ah", tears flowed all over her face.

Jing Hengbo looked at her for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "Now, I really believe that you used to be a noble concubine..."

A group of women stared blankly at the clean woman, their eyes were full of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that such a clear woman could be the messy and filthy patient just now, but behind such disbelief, What's more is the sadness that can't be hidden—through the figure in front of me, I seem to see myself in the past, who once had flowers in bloom, riches and honor, and jade hairpins, pearl pendants, pearls and emerald heads, and feasts in the garden , Traveling in spring and autumn, admiring the young people in Moshang all over the place, full of romance...

The past goes with the wind, rolls of gold, pearls and jade tins, and red sleeves all over the place. When the gale of fate blows again, the severe winter is frosty, and the fallen leaves are sad in autumn.

"I know you've fallen into the mud." Jing Hengbo's voice was soft, like a dream, like a whisper, "No one can trample on the dignity of being born as a human being. Even if others don't regard you as a human being, you should work hard to live like a human being."

The woman burst into tears, as if she wanted to wash herself again with her tears.

The rest of the women walked away silently, and someone took away the leftover soap.

Jing Hengbo breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his nightmare life surrounded by stench should be relieved.

Suddenly felt eyes, turned around and saw the black-clothed boy standing against the door, staring at her complicatedly, Jing Hengbo still smiled at him, the boy didn't smile, and didn't move away, there was a strange heavy look in his eyes .

With warm eyes above his head, Jing Hengbo raised his head, and Yeluqi was also standing by the window, dressed in pale blue robes, echoing the color of the green bamboo flute in his hand. He was born with a charming temperament, and his clothes were so clear, which also made people think of the bamboo forest under the moonlight, slender, with shadows far and near, and an undulating silver glow.

He smiled at Jing Hengbo at the top of the building, just as Jing Hengbo saw him clear and natural, and he looked at Jing Hengbo as if seeing the most beautiful scenery in the world.

She is a colorful and bright painting in the world, shining on her own life and shining on others. Wherever the brilliance reaches, the sky and the earth add color.

The girl who had her menarche came out timidly, changed her clothes, and even wiped her head and face with water. She was also a delicate child with clear skin, and she had experienced a pampered life.

Jing Hengbo told her about the matters needing attention during menstruation, and then attached a note to the food and medicine deliverer, telling her about the girl's situation, and asked Qiu Jinfeng to prescribe some medicine to regulate menstruation and nourish blood.

The next day, sure enough, there was an extra pack of medicine, and there were even some cloth strips and other things. Jing Hengbo was surprised, but he also had a better impression of Qiu Jinfeng.

Since that day, the women have had a great wash, and for a while the yard was full of clothes to dry. It looks like a white banner from a distance. The dirty water from the bath made two of the trees outside the yard wither. Except for those who were too sick to wash, most of them cleaned themselves up. After only a few days, Jing Hengbo suddenly felt that the yard was brighter.

As soon as the women were clean, the men immediately felt their own filth. The environment has always had a suggestive effect. Gradually, the men in the yard also became clean. Although these patients were terribly ill, their clothes were made of exquisite materials. Once they were washed, the courtyard was filled with long gowns with wide sleeves and white clothes fluttering, and the ghostly aura suddenly became fairy aura.

The attitude of these guys whose ghostly aura suddenly changed to fairy aura gradually changed towards Jing Hengbo. Jing Hengbo's medicine will be delivered to her window every day, no one will **** or steal her three meals a day, her clothes will be packed and folded neatly for her, and sometimes a fresh fruit will be pressed on the clothes.

The people who washed their bodies, seemed to have suddenly washed away those self-abandonment, dignity and reserve, and quietly returned.

Jing Hengbo sat in the yard at night and looked at those people. Once they were clean, they suddenly looked elegant and peaceful, and their gestures were very dignified. Sighing, he said to himself: "To be honest, this group of people really look more and more like princes, concubines, princesses, generals..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a faint sound like a crash in the bamboo building behind the courtyard wall.

In the quiet of the night, the sound could be heard clearly, as if something had fallen, Jing Hengbo was startled, turned his head, and saw a figure behind the courtyard wall.

She immediately jumped up, and the next moment, with a bang, she collided with someone.

Jing Hengbo said "Ouch", he only felt that the man's chest was hard and cold, and his nose hurt from the bump, his heart skipped a beat for a moment, he almost thought that Gong Yin was coming, but the next thing he saw was the man's black skirt.

She let out a long breath and complained: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Suddenly she frowned, looked around, and said, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Although the words are exactly the same, the tone is completely different.

The boy in black on the opposite side, still with a pale and rigid face, pointed behind her and said, "I'm going to the latrine."

It was only then that Jing Hengbo noticed that there was a toilet nearby, which seemed to be used by one person, and it was as clean as hers.

It's just that she really didn't notice that the boy went to the toilet here before. This toilet looks very hidden, it is almost in the same line with her toilet, and it is also within the sight of the bamboo building.

"Oh, that, then go slowly." Jing Hengbo smiled without embarrassment at all, and turned to leave, when the boy suddenly said, "What are you worried about?"

"Well, is there?" Jing Hengbo turned around and smiled at him.

The young man's eyes seemed to pass over the bamboo building, and he turned around first and said, "Let's go." It didn't matter whether Jing Hengbo followed up or not, just straight forward.

"It's too big." Jing Hengbo laughed and teased, and followed.

The two walked around the yard, the moonlight was dim this night, vaguely reflected under the window of the well platform, like a hazy white gauze covering the sky and the earth.

In the white gauze tent, a group of white-clothed men with floating figures wandered silently.

The two of them walked past the well platform, and the woman Jing Hengbo helped her bathe was washing clothes by the well platform, her hair was flowing down like black silk water, her side nose was as straight as a jade peak, her eyebrows were raised black, blue and black, and the distant mountains were lush .

Even Jing Hengbo couldn't help but stop to take another look at her moon-like complexion.

"Concubine Yun. The only noble person in the palace with the title of concubine in the Fushui Department was the king of Fushui who made an exception to ask Dige for the title. It can be seen that back then, the glory and favor were flourishing." The young man suddenly said behind her.

Jing Hengbo had already raised his footsteps, stopped, and turned around, "Concubine?"

"Yes." The boy looked directly into her eyes.

Jing Hengbo wanted to laugh, but after a while he stretched out his hand, held his forehead, and muttered, "What a **** dog..."

Turning around the well platform, the girl who had menarche was combing her hair facing the window, she smiled when she saw Jing Hengbo, and blushed when she saw the boy in black.

"Don't tell me she's really a county lord." Jing Hengbo said.

The county lord will not be miserable and run around with red pants after menarche.

But it seems that the imperial concubine shouldn't be covered in lice?

"County Lord Anhua." The boy said, "The eldest daughter of King Fushui's cousin."

Jing Hengbo sighed.

A woman's sixth sense is really bad, and what she didn't want to happen still happened.

Beside the bamboo grove, a man with half of his face rotten was practicing sword practice. Although his face was terrifying, his sword opened and closed, and the wind and thunder moved.

Jing Hengbo praised, "Movement!", and recognized the man who once claimed to be the Great General of Protecting the Nation.

"General Shenwu Dongchi." The boy in black said, "Famous in Fushui for his bravery in battle and loyalty to the royal family. He helped the royal family of Fushui to quell the rebellion, and won the promise of King Fushui to share the glory with generations of monarchs and ministers. His most famous deed was for Protecting the king, half of his face was chopped off, and he is also known as the half-faced evil spirit."

"This is really thorough." Jing Hengbo sighed.

"No, that half of the face back then was just a scar. This rotten half of the face was given to him by the king."

Jing Hengbo raised his eyebrows, suddenly he didn't want to hear it anymore.

There are too many negative energies in this world. The people who will be here must have a lot of negative energies, and she doesn't want to accept them.

The young man with his sleeves fluttering, was still walking ahead, like a bat passing through the darkness without a sound.

When passing through a room, he said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yong, brother of King Fushui. It is said that Old King Fushui preferred him to take over the throne, but he gave it up to his elder brother."

"Historically, there are a few willing to give way." Jing Hengbo smiled.

"It's good that you understand."

The black shadows floated across the houses, introducing each one, Jing Hengbo became numb after hearing that, those noble concubines, princes, princesses and generals were indeed real noble concubines, princes, princesses and generals.

After all, about half of the members of the Floating Water Royal Family were exiled on this small island in the lake.

Jing Hengbo's palms were a little cold, the shadows of the trees covered them deeply, and the moonlight shone dimly on the faces of those people. At some point, those people had stopped what they were doing and gathered together silently.

Under the cold moon in the middle of the night, those high and low white shadows dragged on the ground for a long time, and Jing Hengbo couldn't find his own shadow.

"Why did this happen?" Facing those gazes, she didn't want to ask, but finally asked the question.

There was a scent of medicine in his nostrils, a familiar aroma, Yeluqi had boiled medicine again, and he has been brewing medicine more and more frequently recently.

"Why did this happen?" She was a little irritable in her heart, and asked again, but those people didn't answer, they took a step forward silently, and surrounded her in the middle.

Jing Hengbo took a step back subconsciously, turned his gaze, and suddenly found that the boy in black was gone.

She was startled, she was too shocked just now, she didn't realize when he left.

Suddenly there was another faint cracking sound, as if something had been broken.

Jing Hengbo said suddenly, "Not good!"

Immediately turning around, she flashed towards Yeluqi's bamboo building.
