Your Highness, the Empress Runs Away Again - C255 inferiors
Sui Xiong took advantage of the chopping of firewood and pretended to carelessly whisper, “Brother Feilong, I heard that our palace master kidnapped four people, and now one of them ran away.”
The other person did not seem to mind, “You think he can escape from here? He probably doesn’t even know where this place is. ”
It was like a long night, even though there was not a single bit of sunlight.
“Yeah, this place is indeed hidden.” Suifeng sighed. You might say that it was hell on earth, but it didn’t seem like it. After all, there was no such thing as hell.
“Of course, who would have thought that the Palace Master would build a house inside the mountain? “Even if there are soldiers searching, they will definitely get nothing.” The dragon raised its axe and the cylindrical log split in half.
The pupils of his pupils shrank, inside the mountain? So that’s how it was! No wonder there was no light from the sun.
They were truly curious. Staying here for a long time, aren’t they afraid of getting sick?
Forget it, it was better to put away the little surprise in his heart and continue asking.
“Those two women don’t seem to be locked up with men. Could it be that the Mistress has another goal?”
The wyvern shook his head, “I’m not sure. We are of the lower class. How would we know what is going on in the head of the palace master?”
In fact, before the servants who worked here came in, they did not even have enough to eat. Just as they were about to die of starvation, the palace master appeared and brought them to the mountains, promising that as long as they worked properly, they would not have to worry about food and clothing.
In other words, it was Shui Lingyang who had given them a chance to live a new life.
“True.” Ye Zichen smiled coyly.
The wyvern suddenly realized something, and could not help but tease, “You are so concerned about those two girls, are you thinking of me?”
The Palace Mistress had made it clear that the love between a child and a girl was not allowed to be discussed here. If anyone found out, they would be thrown out to feed the wolves. From this, it could be seen how much Shui Lingyang hated men and women’s love. Not only did she dislike it, but she was also forcing her servants.
It was precisely because of this rule that there was no love between a man and a woman, but two new feelings were born. The love between a woman and a man could be considered a mess here.
That devilish man called Qu Qu was more popular.
“Brother Feilong, don’t make fun of me. How could I?” Sui Xiong suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. It would be even harder for him to escape.
But no matter how hard it was, he couldn’t give up.
Qi He looked at everything in the mirror with worry, “Master, I really want to help them.”
Two women were forced, one was locked up, and the other was thinking of ways to deal with things in the tiger’s den. She really couldn’t just stand and watch without doing anything.
Qin Fei patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Calm down first. Even if you want to go, it will take some time. They might be out of danger by the time you get there.”
If that was the case, why would she need to travel a thousand miles to get there?
“Master, is what you said true?” Qi He was still a bit worried. Chu Jingli was Xuan Ye’s Great General, so he couldn’t be careless about his safety.
Qin Fei nodded, “Master has calculated that the four of them are lucky enough to encounter such a calamity. If you were to go, you would be able to defy the will of the heavens. It would depend on your own ability.”
For some things, one had to experience it personally before they could learn from it and grow.
“Alright then.” Wei He liked to listen to him. Besides, when had his master ever lied to him?
“Yes.” Wei He nodded and thought of someone, “Master, I’m a little curious about Lin Mu Gan now.”
The last time he had rejected Lin Mu Gan, he had left the Imperial Advisor’s estate in anger, and no one knew what had happened to him afterwards.
“Since you’re curious, there’s no harm in taking a look.” Qin Fei pampered her like a princess. No, she was a princess to begin with.
Qi He began to mutter the word “chase” to himself. Soon, Lin Mu Gan’s image appeared in the mirror. He seemed to be cursing in front of an official’s residence.
“You all look down on people with your dog eyes. Don’t tell me that the Humble Class students can’t get even the slightest bit of respect?” “I am ten years old, but I am not a match for those rich and powerful young masters. How can the mysterious imperial court raise you dog officials?!”
The steward’s face darkened, “Do not insult my lord. If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve already read the books, I would have sued the government for insulting a court official!” “Also, you should know the reason why my master doesn’t want to see you. I advise you that since your thoughts are inconsistent with the politics of today, you should go home.”
The news had already spread throughout the capital. There was a poor scholar begging for an official, but he was always rejected.
“You officials are protecting each other without any laws. You even said that there is something wrong with my mind and I have not been accepted. Who can know the truth?”
He only wanted a chance, but no one gave him that chance.
The butler shook his head, “Sir Lin, what is the use of telling me? Perhaps this is your life.”
With that, the butler entered the mansion and closed the door.
Lin Yuan sat on the stairs in a daze, dejected. Was this really fate? He had to endure ten years of hardship. His wife and parents had done their best to get into the top scholar for the sake of him.
The most important thing for a scholar was to gain face, but as things stood, he no longer had the face to return home.
He had let down his wife, and even more, he had let down his ambition.
Suddenly, he roared into the sky, “Good heavens! Why are you so unfair! ”
Perhaps the heavens had really heard it and it actually began to rain. There was nothing by his side as he quietly sat in the rain.
He hated these people. He hated these people who had humiliated his talent.
In his hometown, he could easily write an essay and become a model for children to study, but in the capital, he became worthless. In the eyes of others, his meticulously crafted script was like scrap paper and he couldn’t even be bothered to look at it.
Lin Yun Gan had gone from being a favored child of heaven to becoming a nobody begging for mercy like a beggar. How could he accept the difference between the two of them?
Rain dripped down his cheeks and onto the steps, hoping that the carp would leap into the sky and ignore the cruelty of reality. These high steps were impossible without gold and silver as a foundation.
This is the difference between the treatment of the poor and the rich.
The rain blurred his vision. In his mind, he was thinking about his elderly parents and his virtuous wife.
His wife had indeed suffered a lot. His heart was filled with guilt. He had originally wanted to become a high official so that his wife would be able to live a happy life with him.
What was more pitiful was that his parents, who had worked hard all their lives and fought hard for him all these years to make him study, had not been willing to spend any money to cure their serious illness. Now they had fallen sick and hoped that he would return home in glory, but everything had gone down the drain.
