Chapter 89
When Qiu Anan came to look for Yingying again, several days had passed since Shangguan Chi's affairs.
When Qiu Anan said Shangguan Chi's name, Yingying thought for a while before she remembered who he was and asked casually: "What's wrong with him?"
Qiu An'an said: "He is fine, but the female pianist who has something to do is the girl."
The female piano master named Miaoyin, and she is a very gentle girl.
In fact, she is indeed gentle, and she speaks softly and neither humble nor arrogantly. She is such a gentle girl who dares to break into Shangguan Mansion alone in the heavy rain. She stood in the heavy rain for a whole day just to see Shangguan Chi and say to him, "I do."
Many people didn't know why she said these three words. Qiu Anan asked someone to go to Lelou to inquire and found out that on the day when Emperor Wucheng ordered the marriage, Shangguan Chi had secretly searched for Miaoyin and asked her if she would risk her elope with him.
It is said that Shangguan Chi was in a state of dismay when he left that day, so I thought Miaoyin should have rejected him. A few days later, Miaoyin suddenly figured it out and went to find Shangguan Chi, but Shangguan Chi did not see her.
Not only did he not see him, he also sent a servant to slap Miaoyin and mocked her for being delusional, and said that this was actually a bet with his friend. When Miaoyin said the three words "I do", Shangguan Chi won.
"Shangguan Chi is really playing with Miaoyin?" Yingying couldn't help but hear this.
Qiu Anan was in a bad mood. She picked up the little black cat on the ground and touched the hair, and said depressedly: "I was blind, and I actually thought that Shangguan Chi was a good person."
"Now the whole imperial city is watching Miaoyin's jokes. Some big man was probably telling Lelou and was about to rush Miaoyin away."
Qiu Anan sighed deeply and said, "The most overwhelming thing is that those who bet on the bet have benefited. Now they are betting on whether Miaoyin will be driven out of the imperial city. Some people will be driven out of the imperial city after remanding her for a few days. In order not to lose money, they will go to bully her."
This is again in line with Shunhe's previous words. Some people regard other people's pain as fun, sucking other people's flesh and blood to make black money. Whether it is losing, winning, blessing or watching jokes, they actually stabbed others in the heart.
"I want to meet Miaoyin." Yingying regretted that she also made a bet with Qiu Anan a few days ago.
Yingying was not very clear about Shangguan’s family, but she had a certain understanding of Rou Concubine. She didn’t want to watch a good person killed by Rou Concubine, Yingying wanted to leave the palace to help Miaoyin.
Qiu Anan had long wanted to go, "I'll be with you!"
After the rain, it became colder in the past few days.
This time, Yingying left the palace and Qinrong did not stop him. He also carted out the palace for them. When he learned that Yingying was going to Lelou, he hooked her little finger when he sent Yingying out of the East Palace. Although he didn't say much, he was full of warning.
"Come back early, don't stay outside for too long." Qin Rong said as he tightened Yingying's collar and wrapped her tightly in his cloak.
Although Lelou is not a Qinlou Chuguan, it is always a bit of a problem. Girls who like to go there all like some handsome musicians. Yingying has been running there a lot in her previous life. She knew what Qin Rong cares about now, so she put it in his ear and whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, third brother, the musicians outside are not as good as you."
There was also a handsome musician in the palace in his previous life. Yingying fell in love with his face and summoned him day by day, but was finally killed by Qin Rong. With the lessons of the past, how could Yingying dare to provoke musicians?
Qin Rong sent Yingying onto the carriage and left. Qiu An'an got onto the carriage and glanced at Qin Rong's back, and said casually: "I think the prince loves you very much."
If you leave the palace, you have to come out to deliver it in person.
Yingying also called Princess Shunhe with her. She lifted the curtain and looked out the window. Seeing that Princess Shunhe had not come over yet, she replied in confusion: "The third brother has always been very nice to me."
Qiu Anan frowned, and she exclaimed: "Have you always been good? But why did Qiu Yu tell me..."
"What did he say?" Yingying looked at Qiu Anan with clear eyes.
Qiu An settled down and sold his younger brother easily in front of Yingying, a not-so-family 'friend'. She said truthfully: "Quo Yu said that you are always punished for causing trouble in this Eastern Palace every day. Your Highness the Crown Prince is also very cold to you and doesn't care much about you on weekdays."
It is because of this that Qiu Anan often asks Qiu Yu to help bring chicken soup to Yingying.
Yingying was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect Qiu Yu to say this to her. She opened her mouth and didn't know that she should refute it from that sentence.
"I didn't cause trouble every day."
Yingying was frustrated: "The third brother is so kind. If he doesn't care about me, I won't have to stay in the East Palace every day and beg you to talk to me."
Qiu Anan also knew that she had been fooled by Qiu Yu. Her face looked a little ugly. When she asked, Qiu Yu brought chicken soup to Yingying every time and calmed down. She rubbed her hands and whispered: "I'll deal with her when I go back."
As he was talking, Shunhe got on the carriage, the coachman rushed out of the palace. On the way, Yingying and Qiu An'an talked about Shangguan Chi and Miaoyin again.
Yingying's temper is much better than her previous life. Qin Rong has pulled out Lita, and she will not be reluctant to fight and kill when encountering trouble. This time Qiu An'an went to Lelou not only to see Miaoyin, but also wanted to take this opportunity to repair Shangguan Chi. She had a good idea and knew that she could not suppress the Shangguan family by relying on the Qiu family, so she found Yingying and Shunhe.
Yingying knew that Qin Rong was rectifying the Shangguan family, so she said without any worries: "You will just fight Shangguan Chi whenever you see him. I will take care of you if something happens."
The Shangguan family is not strong enough to compete with Qin Rong. If they dare to attack Yingying, they will die faster by giving Qin Rong a bargaining chip. They can only swallow their losses.
Qiu Anan excitedly found his whip, and Shunhemo reminded him for a moment: "Don't go too far when you can, otherwise it would not end even if you have the emperor's brother."
Yingying and Qiu Anan looked at each other and laughed. Shunhe looked at them blankly: "Why are you laughing at?"
Yingying explained: "We still think you want to stop us from taking action."
Shunhe pursed her lips and turned her face away. She was probably a little embarrassed. After a while, she continued: "In theory, we can't control this matter, but... Shangguan Chi is indeed too bad. I don't like men who play with girls' feelings."
Soon, the carriage swayed to the streets of the Imperial City. On the way to Lelou, Yingying lifted the curtain and looked outside, sighing: "I haven't come out for a long time, and the street has become more lively than before."
Qiu Anan followed Yingying's gaze and frowned and said, "No, there are not so many people on this street on weekdays."
"What might be a new fun?"
Shunhe also looked out, her eyes were poisonous when she practiced martial arts, and she easily discovered the problem: "This group of people seems to be rushing towards the same street."
Too many people were bustling in one place, yelling at each other that no one would let anyone go, and even the carriage was blocked at the intersection.
Seeing that the carriage could not move forward for a long time, Yingying and the other two simply got off the carriage and walked up to the Le Tower. After walking a few steps, they found that the group of people were on the same street as them. At the same time, they heard the group of people saying the name of "Miaoyin", as if they were rushing to watch the fun.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Miaoyin?" Qiu Anan pulled a woman holding the child and asked.
The woman had a loud voice and coaxed the child and replied, "What else can I do? I'm so embarrassed and humiliated by the Shangguan family. I'm committing suicide now!"
"It's also a sin. A girl was played with by the powerful and powerful children as fun. In order to win money, the gamblers shouted to ask her to get out of the imperial city. If I were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Suicide?" Qiu Anan was stunned, "Then she..."
"The man is not dead yet. He said he wants to see Shangguan Chi for the last time."
Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pulled Qiu An'an and Shunhe to Lelou.
When they arrived, Miaoyin was standing at the highest point of the Le Tower. She stepped out of the railing and flew up the hem of the skirt, holding the railing with only two hands to maintain balance. Yingying looked up and saw only her white skirt hem, and could not see her entire face clearly.
"The incense is about to burn, why haven't Shangguan Chi come yet?"
Yingying turned her head and saw a scent that was burning not far away. The thin one had reached its end. Her skills were not as good as Shunhe. She was about to let Shunhe go up to save people, but suddenly she heard a scream from the crowd. Then accompanied by a heavy and dull sound, Yingying saw Miaoyin falling from the high building. She spit out a large piece of blood from her mouth, and her eyes were still not dead.
"Ah, she is not dead yet, go and call the doctor!"
The crowd became more and more turbulent, and some people hurried away to another place. In a panic, someone squeezed out of the crowd. The man was gasping for breath and his hair was messy. He stepped out of the crowd and looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood, and fell softly to the ground as if incredible.
"Miao, Miaoyin..."
Blood from Miaoyin's mouth kept pouring out. Her eyes were scattered and she looked at the sound. Her breath faintly shouted a name: "Shangguan Chi."
She said: Shangguan Chi, you always come so late.
Almost as soon as Miaoyin finished speaking, she closed her eyes.
“…”
Yingying didn't know how she returned to the palace that day, but she only remembered Miaoyin's white skirt and the blood on the ground. Qiu An'an and Shunhe were silent and did not speak.
After returning, Yingying was feeling depressed on the couch. She was depressed all day long. At night, Qin Rong came back and hugged her in her arms, sighed, "I shouldn't have let you out."
Yingying grabbed Qin Rong's clothes and rubbed it, and replied in a depressed manner: "I regret it too."
She really shouldn't have gone out.
If she didn't go out, she wouldn't see Miaoyin's tragic death. Her death made Yingying recall the several people she killed in her previous life. At that time, she didn't think anything was wrong. Now seeing Miaoyin, a stranger, die in front of her, she suddenly wanted to ask her: Isn't it good to live?
How to live is not about living, why do you have to seek death and all this?
Yingying couldn't figure it out, but Qin Rong quickly gave her the answer. After investigation, Qin Rong learned that Miaoyin did not commit suicide, but was pushed down from a high building.
The person who recommended Miaoyin was Rouyin. She also secretly left the palace the day Yingying left the palace. The difference is that Yingying wanted to save Miaoyin, while Rouyin was betting on Miaoyin. She gave Miaoyin a stick of incense. If Shangguan Chi could come to see Miaoyin within incense stick of incense, then she would spare Miaoyin’s life.
No one stopped him, Shangguan Chi was unwilling to see Miaoyin.
He probably didn't believe that Miaoyin would commit suicide, but was afraid that Miaoyin would actually commit suicide, so he hesitated for a long time in this incense stick. When he finally made a decision to meet Miaoyin, the incense was burned out. Roubin said: "It seems that my younger brother doesn't love you that much."
The final follow-up of this incident is: Shangguan Chi is also dead.
He was the real suicide. Before he died, he ran to the top of the Le Building where Miaoyin had been, shouting heartbrokenly that he had never deceived her.
Shangguan Chi said that he really liked Miaoyin. He said that he had been happy for a long time when he learned that Miaoyin said the word "I do", but he lost the courage and no longer dared to take Miaoyin to elope.
Shangguan Chi also said that he thought he didn't love her that much.
There was no bet from beginning to end. Shangguan Chi just frightened and accepted his fate. He wanted to give up Miaoyin and honestly accept His Majesty's marriage. It was not until Miaoyin died in front of him that he realized that he thought he was not so loving, but how much he loved.
Therefore, Shangguan Chi jumped down from the tall building where Miaoyin fell.
When Yingying learned that the whole story of this incident was over, she felt more and more uncomfortable, so she went to Shunhe to tell her about it.
"I finally know why Miaoyin said he always came so late."
"If he is braver, don't care so much, it won't cause the current situation."
Yingying found her own shadow from Shangguan Chi and sighed: "Why do you always know how to cherish it after losing it? Sometimes you don't care about it. It is very likely that you will deceive others into it by cheating."
After hearing this, Shunhe refused to speak for a long time. Yingying always felt that Shunhe had become more and more dazed since she came back from outside the palace. She shook the corner of Shunhe's clothes and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Shunhe came back to her senses and shook her head, and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing, in fact, Miaoyin and Shangguan Chi are not wrong. They are both pitiful people."
This is just a small episode in Yingying's life. In addition, she didn't know Miaoyin and Shangguan Chi, so she forgot about it after a few days. Qin Rong seized this opportunity to continue to put pressure on the Shangguan family. The evil thing is that since Shangguan Chi's death, Roubin has been seriously ill and minor illnesses. Her sickly and overly weak look suddenly became disgusted by Emperor Wu Cheng.
"Isn't it really a fortune teller who is right?" After learning that Roubin was neglected, Yingying quickly remembered what Qiu Anan said before.
The fortune teller said that Shangguan Chi was the lucky star of Rou Concubine. When Fu Xing died, Rou Concubine's blessing also died. Not long after that, Shangguan's family completely declined, and there was no news with Rou Concubine. According to Xiaodai, he died in the cold palace.
Yingying didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Roubin and Shangguan's family, because soon the war report came from the northwest. Gu Lingxiao was seriously injured by the enemy's plot on the battlefield. He lost the news when he led a team of soldiers to break through and has not been found yet.
When this incident was passed back to the Northern Region, Yingying was in Shunhe Palace. Shunhe was stunned and suddenly said: "Maybe Shangguan Chi was wrong."
"Yingying, you are right. If he is braver, don't care so much, it will not cause both of them to die and cannot express love."
Most people only know how to cherish after losing it. While lying to themselves, they are also lying to others. By cheating, they may cover up the truth for a lifetime. Do you have to wait until you lose it before you can tell the truth?
But it was too late at that time.
Yingying didn't listen to what Shunhe said when she was concerned about Gu Lingxiao. When she recovered a few days later, she learned that Shunhe had secretly left the palace.
