Chapter 59
In the middle of the night, Tian Qi has insomnia between gold and silver treasures in the room. On the wall is a crane candlestick made of pure gold. The lifelike crane raises its neck and holds a red candle in its mouth. The candlelight is not dazzling originally, but it reflects back and forth between the yellow gold and the colorful jewelry, which makes the whole room in a piece of glass, which makes people's eyes confused. It seems that they accidentally broke into the ethereal realm of the Jade Emperor and fell into the colorful fairy cloud in front of the Buddha.
Tian Qi sits on the bed made of gold, and her heart is like the colorful fairy cloud, empty, quiet, neither happy nor sad. Strange to say, if someone had told her that she would wake up one day and face a room full of gold and silver jewelry, she would probably be able to laugh all day. But now, she is not so happy with those things that usually make her salivate.
Probably because the money is not hers.
She has no deep paranoia about money. She likes money because she is short of money.
Tian Qi thinks of her current situation. Unexpectedly, she left the palace in this way. Ji Zheng's way of doing things caught her off guard, and the trick of the kidnaper made her a little disgusted, but in the end, Ji Zheng was also kind-hearted to her. To her, she can always find some long lost warmth, so she is more reluctant to speculate about his kindness.
But did she leave the palace like this? Leave the place where she stayed for seven years, leaving her master, her friends, leave Ruyi, leave Dai Sanshan, leave The Emperor.
What would the Emperor think of her departure? Will he be anxious? Would he be angry?
Maybe he'll be angry. After all, she took the initiative to "run away.". Then, maybe someone will be sent to kill her. Maybe not. Anyway, she is just a little eunuch.
Tian Qi lowered her head to touch the smooth gold bedside. She has been working in the palace for seven years. She has passed almost every corner of the Forbidden City. However, although she has spent seven years in the Forbidden City, she is just an ordinary Eunuch in the Forbidden City, one of the thousands of eunuchs in the palace. More than two thousand days and nights are only fleeting for that palace city. She will be replaced, forgotten or never remembered.
How could the Emperor care about such a small eunuch and be angry with her? Even if it's pursued, it won't last long.
It's not worth saying a bad word.
Having figured this out, Tian Qi put her heart down a little bit, but he soon lost something.
Will the Emperor miss her?
Probably not. Think about it for a moment at most. For her, there is only one Emperor. But for the Emperor, there are tens of thousands of eunuchs. There are many for him to touch.
How can I think of this
Tian Qi with a red face was uneasily playing with the corner of her sleeve. The Emperor's words and smiles reappeared in her mind, serious, dignified, kind, insane, rogue, and all normal or abnormal him. All of these put together a complete him, a living him, flesh and blood and human. Tian Qi felt very strange. She felt that she was far away from the Emperor every day. Now that they are far away, she felt that the Emperor is not so far away. He looks like a statue. It looks cold and mysterious, but when she touches it, it's warm. His blood vessels under his skin are still beating slightly.
Thinking that she was going to leave such a person, Tian Qi was reluctant to give up. Although the Emperor occasionally does some outrageous things, he is still a good man in general, at least much better than his father.
Well, she doesn't want to be a eunuch all her life.
But does the Emperor miss her…
Tian Qi was tossing and turning in such a complicated mood that night. She didn't know when to go to sleep. In a word, when Ji Zheng knocked on the door, her head went up in a daze, and she felt like she didn't sleep.
Ji Zheng is here to send her breakfast.
Tian Qi is a little embarrassed. "Can I wash my face and rinse my mouth first "
Ji Zheng clapped his forehead. "I'm sorry, I'm dizzy. Wait a minute. "Then he went out of the door, and when he came in with his toiletries, he saw that Tian Qi was folding her quilt. There is a dark mark on the back of her light gray robe. It looks like blood.
Ji Zheng was puzzled. "You "
However, Tian Qi turned to look at him in astonishment. "I didn't! "
Ji Zheng is a little strange. Even if she is injured, how can she get it there? Besides, from last night to now, there is no one near here. How did Tian Qi get hurt? Unless she injured herself. He looked at Tian Qi suspiciously. "What's going on? "
Tian Qi blushed, frightened and ashamed. "It's OK. Can you go out first "
"What's the matter with you?” Ji Zheng wants to move forward.
"Don't come here! "
Ji Zheng was so scared that he had to go out first. When he got outside and was blown by the cool breeze, he understood everything.
Tian Qi was in a hurry. What to do? That thing came in advance. She took a look at her back gown and saw everything she didn't want to see. Ji Zheng must have seen it just now, so it was so strange. She said "Amitabha" with both hands, hoping that Ji Zheng would not guess what it was. However, the reality soon broke her hopes. Ji Zheng sent a servant girl to wait on her with a new suit and some necessity.
Tian Qi is so ashamed that she wants to find a ground to drill in and never come out again.
The servant girl is very persistent. She insists on helping Tian Qi with her own hands, so she takes the soiled clothes and gets back.
The rest of Tian Qi is neither standing nor sitting in the house.
When she was ten years old, she occasionally listened to her mother and servant girls talking. She couldn't understand. She asked her mother. At that time, she thought her daughter was young, so she told her and explained many things to her. Later, when she became a eunuch in the palace, she forgot about it. It was not until the magical lunar event came that she remembered this kind of thing, and was afraid that others would see it. Fortunately, the bloodshed only lasts for a day or two, and the blood is not much. Tian Qi is careful and will not be found. Anyway, this thing is always visited at a fixed time. But she didn't know why this time. It was several days ahead of schedule, which made her unprepared. In the morning, when she folded the quilt, she saw the blood on the bed. When she was still covered, Ji Zheng had come in, and all the things he shouldn’t have seen were seen.
Tian Qi finally understood what Zhang Dao meant by "unlucky". She was unlucky! She came to this place in a confused way. Maybe she was carrying the disaster of killing herself. That's all. Why would a man see such a thing! She helplessly looked up to the sky and sighed for fear that Ji Zheng would come again. She didn't know how to face him.
Some things must not be imagined, because once you think about them, they will come true, especially bad things.
Ji Zheng knocks at the door again this time. Tian Qi presses the door and refuses to let him in. Ji Zheng has to coax her out of the door. "Ah Qi, open the door quickly. I have something to tell you. "
She doesn't want to hear
"Since I don't open the door, I will say in here. You are women "
Tian Qi quickly let him in.
Ji Zheng's face was a little red when he came in. Although he is shy, he is more pleased. Although he can broken sleeves for Tian Qi, it's better to be a normal man after all. Of course, he was puzzled about why Tian Qi became a woman all of a sudden.
"Who are you? "Ji asked as soon as he sat down.
Tian Qi buried her head and didn't dare to look at him. "Don't ask, it's not good for you. "
Seeing that she didn't want to say it, Ji Zheng asked again, "then why do you want to enter the palace? As a daughter, why do you want to be a eunuch? "
"I entered the palace to kill a man. "
Ji Zheng was surprised. "Do you want to assassinate the Emperor? "
"No," said Tian Qi, shaking her head in fright. "The man I want to kill is dead. "
"When did he die? "
"I've been dead for years. "
"Why didn't you leave the palace for so long? "
"At first, I was timid. Later, I was afraid that I would not live well after I left the palace, so I wanted to make enough money in the palace before I left. And then I can't leave "Said Tian Qi, sighing. She regretted so much now that she should pretend to be sick and leave when she had saved more than 300 Liang of silver, because she was greedy for money and caught up with Song Zhaoyi, and then she got into numerous troubles.
Ji Zheng is listening to this and feels that her situation over the years is very alarming. "Has your identity been discovered by others? "
"No. "
"How about Emperor brother? "
Tian Qi shook her head.
Ji Zheng was very relieved and said, "fortunately, he doesn't know. If he does, you "
"I will surely die. "
When Ji Zheng heard her saying this, he couldn't distinguish between them. He just stopped and looked at her quietly. The person in front of him is pretty. Since knowing that she is a woman, Ji Zheng thinks she looks more and more beautiful.
Tian Qi's face was hot again. "What do you want to say? "
"Have you thought about your plans? "
Tian Qi shook his head. "My family is gone, and I don't know where to go in the future. My money was stolen by the Emperor.”
" I want to go out for a tour in a few days. If you like, we can travel together. Is it good to see mountains, rivers, and places?. "
Tian Qi feels a little awkward. As a eunuch, it's nothing to go out and play with others, but now she's a girl in front of him. Two men and women who are not related to each other are going sightseeing together. She feels embarrassed.
Seeing her hesitation, Ji Zheng sighed with disappointment and said, "once I know your secret, you are alienated from me. If I had known that, I would have pretended that I didn't know anything, and I could talk with you freely. "
Tian Qi is a little ashamed. "I didn't mean that … or else, let's talk after this limelight. What's going on outside now?"
"Don't worry. It's very peaceful outside these days. Emperor brother didn't send people to search. "
Tian Qi put down her heart, and she slightly lose.
The Emperor didn't care about her.
He knew she had already escaped.
Ugh.
What is the Emperor doing now?
In the palace. The Emperor has nothing to do now. He's just going crazy.
