Chapter 220: Cause of Death in Previous Life (Part 1)

Xue Dingwei did not come to this reception banquet.

As the representative of the Xue family, Xue Mei shivered in fear, but she didn't dare to stand up for the concubine at all.

She didn't want to be crippled by Hou Jingxi too!

Xiao Yi looked outside the bead curtain, pampering: "What is Jiaojiao still doing outside, come in."

Nan Baoyi, who was named, trembled all over.

She took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the hall.

Everyone looked subconsciously.

The girl who thought she was crippled had her hands folded in front of her chest, her steps were full of lotuses and her posture was high-spirited. Although she passed through only brightly lit halls, she seemed to be walking on a nine-fold palace.

The so-called lame rumors are self-defeating.

The young girl of the Nan family is still unparalleled in style.

Call those who wait to see the joke, so disappointed.

Xue Mei stared at Nan Yan in disgust, "Didn't you say that she is lame?"

Nan Yan's face was pale and she was speechless.

Cheng De was also displeased, "Yan'er, Jiaojiao is obviously healthy, how can you say that she is lame in public? Do you know how much such nonsense will bring stains to her reputation?! "

Nan Yan held the embroidered handkerchief tightly.

Inch-long nails almost pierce flesh and blood.

Cheng De is really hypocritical. Why did he ignore Nan Baoyi's reputation when he retired?

Now that she can't ask for it, she is concerned about her reputation!

She stared at the radiant young girl, the jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes almost gushed out, she looked extremely hated.

However, she did not dare to contradict Cheng De and Xue Mei.

"I was reckless." Her eyes filled with tears, "Brother Cheng, sister Xue, don't blame me, I was also misled by Jiaojiao..."

Xia Minghui sat across the round table and blinked at Nan Rou.

Nan Yan sat down beside her with her head down.

"Adversaries with high positions and powerful backgrounds are not worthy of our fear. Opponents who are more ruthless to themselves than others,

That's what we're afraid of. "

Xia Minghui shook the round fan lightly, "Nan Baoyi was injured like that, and she was able to recover to this extent in just over a month. It can be seen that she is practicing her gait very hard in private. It is said that the little girl of the Nan family is delicate and cute , how do I look at it, is the world underestimating her?"

Nan Rou said nothing.

She gently wiped the blood stains on her palms with an embroidered handkerchief, her little face was still pale.

"The imperial envoy has arrived at Jinguan City. The nursery rhyme we prepared can come in handy." Xia Minghui said again, "I want all the children in Shu County to learn that nursery rhyme."

"Can an eminent monk be arranged to 'explain' this nursery rhyme for the imperial envoy?" Nan Yan asked.

"Naturally. The Zhennan Temple outside Jinguan City has been very popular for hundreds of years. My father has a good relationship with the abbot, and he has promised to do things for us. Everything is ready, just wait for the nursery rhymes to spread to the ears of the imperial envoy."

Nan Yan nodded slightly.

Thinking of the "nursery rhymes" she had compiled, her gloomy mood could not help but clear up a little.

Xie Chongnv lives in Jincheng and wears precious clothes;

Evil Chongnv, drinking blood, eating infants;

Xie Chongnv, disaster from heaven, thousands of miles away...

She stared at Nan Baoyi, a strange smile gradually appeared on her lips.

The banquet has not yet begun.

The so-called imperial envoy is still missing.

Nan Baoyi obediently sat beside Xiao Yi.

In the hall, Xue Qin fainted from the pain, blood flowed all over the floor.

The female doctor frantically bandaged her wound. The scene was bloody and uncomfortable.

Xiao Yi saw that she was not feeling well, so he handed over a cup of watermelon juice, "The early summer drink juice full of gold and jade, put crushed ice, try it?"

Nan Baoyi took it.

She looked at the red and thick watermelon juice, and then at the blood all over the floor.

She held back her nausea and stroked her chest, "Second brother, I'm going to the west room."

Xiao Yi watched her leave.

He raised his eyebrows and drank half a glass of watermelon juice slowly.

It's obviously delicious...

Jinyu Mantang is the most majestic and luxurious restaurant in Jinguan City.

The banquet is set in the hall on the fifth floor, passing through the verandah, there are rockery and flowing water indoors, gold leaf screens display the artistic conception, antique calligraphy and paintings are full of romance, and the scenery is excellent.

Nan Baoyi came out from the west room, and saw a red lacquer pavilion temporarily built beside the rockery.

Dark purple veils hang down on the six sides of the gazebo.

In the veil, there is a person reclining vaguely, enjoying a drink alone against the rockery.

Nan Baoyi stared blankly.

The window lattice is wide open, and the moon is full tonight.

The bloody moonlight covered the veil of the gazebo with a hazy layer of blood red, like a spreading nightmare, difficult to reach the end of dawn.

The night wind blows slowly, blowing the veil over the rolled-up eaves.

The man leaning in the pavilion was wearing a navy blue embroidered smoke-and-ripple official robe, with a black leather belt around his waist showing a tall figure, his eyes were slightly closed, his nose was straight, his lips were red and his skin was white.

A string of ebony beads is worn around the neck, one hand rests on the seat, and the ring finger and little finger wear long golden armor with exquisite and precious embossed patterns.

Nan Baoyi retreated slowly, step by step, as if in a daze.

Gu Chongshan...

It turns out that the imperial envoy who came to Shu County this time is the governor of the West Factory, Gu Chongshan...

The eunuch in charge of the palace has a vicious and ruthless temperament. Even if the prime minister meets, he has to respectfully say "nine thousand years old".

He was the only person in Shengjing City in the previous life who could wrestle with powerful ministers.

In her previous life, she lived and died because of Gu Chongshan.

When I first met Gu Chongshan, she was practicing palace steps in the palace alley.

But for some reason, those palace maids who usually bully her knew about it.

They came running to watch her and laughed at her, and when she talked back, they beat and kicked her.

She was beaten bloody, but still wanted to live.

From the long and winding palace alley, she crawled towards the Tai Hospital little by little, with long blood stains behind her, which was shocking.

It was also the season of early summer.

It was raining cats and dogs, and she braved the rain, crying and crawling to the hospital.

When she reached the end of the palace alley, she felt that she was going to die.

Beside the gate of the vermilion lacquer palace in the palace lane, there are two pots of peony flowers.

She stretched out her hand, tremblingly picked off a few petals, and stuck them to the disfigured half of her face in the rain, thinking that even if she fell to this point, she would die beautifully.

"Ah……"

A low laugh came from behind.

She raised her head in a daze.

Nine thousand years old with dark eyebrows and clean official robes, holding a paper umbrella, looked down at her, "Why did you pick the flowers in the palace?"

She's dying, so she's not afraid of Nine Thousand Years.

Her eyes were distracted: "I'm about to die, stick the petals on my cheeks, and die beautifully."

Xu Shi had never seen a court lady as beautiful as her, he asked, "What's your name?"

"Nan Baoyi. My mother said, I hope someone will take me like a pearl like a treasure, so that I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

Gu Chongshan squatted down on one knee.

He picked the petals off her cheeks, admiring the fleshy wounds, "You are so desolate, no one will treat you like jewels or jewels."

It rained heavily.

Her tears rolled down immediately.

no……

There used to be family members who treated her like pearls and treasures, but she herself didn't cherish it...

Just at this time, the sedan chair of the powerful minister passed by slowly.

He opened the car curtain with his slender fingertips, he didn't look at her, and his voice was extremely indifferent: "Nine thousand years old, are you very interested in this court lady?"

"I was not interested in the past, but now I am interested." Gu Chongshan stood with an umbrella, "Is the emperor also interested in her?"

She was lying in the rain, and although she knew she was shameless, she still hoped that her former second brother could save her life.

However, the powerful minister has never looked at her.

He put down the car curtain indifferently, and went to the other side of the palace alley.

,

Jiaojiao thought that she lived and died because of Gu Chongshan, but she was not.
