After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 359 [Continued] Another Life

Chu Yingying nodded and said, "I encountered a little trouble, but at least it's done."

Cui Yunhao immediately reacted, and sharply said: "The people in the Prince's Mansion were guarding in the dark before?"

Chu Yingying was quite surprised, she didn't expect him to be able to guess it at all, then she nodded and said, "I've kept them from it, Brother Zhao will be fine for the time being, how is Miss Dou?"

Cui Yunhao replied: "I asked the teacher, she is still in the punishment department."

He paused, and continued: "Both he and King Yong already knew about it."

"It's so fast." Chu Yingying murmured.

"Yes," Cui Yunhao turned to look at her, and said, "From what the teacher said, they knew about it almost immediately after Miss Dou knocked on the Dengwen drum. Originally, they wanted not to let Dou The girl came back, but Miss Dou was very vigilant at that time, and she was not willing to trust them easily, so what happened later."

Chu Yingying nodded and said, "That's fine, you..."

She hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask: "Have you met King Yong?"

Cui Yunhao said: "Not yet, the teacher wanted to take me to visit King Yong, I couldn't worry about you, so I rushed back, and it's the same if I come back another day."

Chu Yingying took a breath slowly, Cui Yunhao held the candlestick in one hand, and reached out to push the courtyard door, at this moment, he heard Chu Yingying behind him say: "Cui Yunhao, I have something to tell you .”

Cui Yunhao's hand stopped suddenly, he straightened his back unconsciously, and then continued to push the door open, the door hinge made a creaking sound in the silent night.

He turned around, looked down at Chu Yingying, a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he was a little happy, and said, "Okay."

After a while, both of them were sitting behind the table. Cui Yunhao put the two tables together, and lit a lamp in the center.

Chu Yingying's eyes fell on the wick, watching it burn slowly, as if she was speaking carefully, and seemed to be in a trance.

Cui Yunhao didn't urge her, but just waited patiently, just as he had waited silently for so many years, such a long time, the fog in Chu Yingying's heart was finally about to be broken at this time, even if he could only glimpse A crack, he is also satisfied.

After a long time, Chu Yingying's voice sounded in the room, breaking the silence of the room, it was a little faint: "I have been dreaming all these years."

She paused for a moment, Cui Yunhao looked at her in good time, and said, "Is it those nightmares?"

Chu Yingying said: "There are many dreams, but most of the ones I can remember are nightmares."

The fire light flickered slightly, Chu Yingying looked at it, as if fascinated, and said: "From the day I was 15 years old, I have a lot of things in my mind. Do you know Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?"

Cui Yunhao nodded, and Chu Yingying continued: "I seem to have lived one life longer than others, and I have more memories of that life."

Hearing this, Cui Yunhao's eyes moved, and a bit of consternation flashed inside, but he didn't say anything, he just asked: "Yingying means that you knew when you were 15 years old. These?"

"Yes," Chu Yingying looked at him, and said, "Although I don't really believe in these strange powers, my memory is not fake. I lived my whole life in my dream, with a beginning and an end, and I also firmly believe that those are all It actually happened.”

Cui Yunhao asked curiously: "What was Yingying like in the dream? If you lived an extra life, did you also meet me in that life?"

Chu Yingying smiled and replied, "No, I never met you in my previous life."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhao looked a little disappointed, Chu Yingying said: "However, I have heard of your name, which is famous in Jindu."

Cui Yunhao's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "What about Yingying?"

"Me?" Chu Yingying was lost in memories, and said: "I escaped from prison with Uncle Ge when I was 15 years old, but at that time we escaped not to the south, but to the north, so I think it was at that time We missed it, and then we managed to escape with our lives, and I was sold by my uncle."

"Sold it?" Cui Yunhao's voice sank.

"Well," Chu Yingying nodded, and continued: "At first, I was sold to a famous troupe, and I learned to sing with them. After singing for a few years, the troupe collapsed, and I was sold into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion by the troupe owner. "

"You probably haven't heard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It is the largest singing and dancing hall in Jindu. Most of the people in it are beautiful women, about my age. After being sent in, the women who disciplined them were very strict. You have to learn everything, not only to learn, but also to be proficient, so as to win the favor of those dignitaries and literati."

Chu Yingying's eyes gradually focused on the candlelight, as if caught in some memories, Cui Yunhao suddenly realized that it was because of these experiences that Yingying could play the guqin, and she played the guqin very well. I feel a little distressed.

Chu Yingying continued: "Then one time, the prince came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and brought me into the prince's mansion. From then on, I became a singer in the mansion, playing the piano and singing for him for fun."

Cui Yunhao's eyes moved slightly, and the hands in the sleeves of his robe were clenched suddenly, with deep eyes, he asked, "What happened next?"

Chu Yingying lowered her eyes and said: "After several years passed like this, the prince became more and more disliked by the emperor. I remember that in the 36th year of Yongtai, the emperor was critically ill and ordered the prince to be deposed. When he passed away, The throne was passed on to King Yong Duan Ce. Duan Ce led his troops into the East Palace, blood flowed like a river, and the crown prince and I died tragically in a pool of blood."

Her voice was unhurried, her tone was also light, without any waves, but to Cui Yunhao's ears, it was like a thunderclap, which made his brain explode, and almost instantly, Cui Yunhao's eyes shot up. famous.

The air was so quiet that it seemed to freeze, the quietly burning candle suddenly cracked and a light burst out, and Cui Yunhao came back to his senses.

The redness in his eyes gradually faded, and it was only now that he finally understood what the nightmares that Yingying had had for many years were all about.

Why would she call Duan Geng's name in her dreams, gnashing her teeth with hatred like a sea, why would she often be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.

What kind of pain did Yingying go through at the beginning?
It took Cui Yunhao a while to recover his voice, and asked in a difficult tone: "At that time...how old is Yingying?"

Chu Yingying thought for a while, and said, "I entered the Prince's Mansion at the age of 19, and I was already twenty-four when the Prince was deposed."

If there were no illnesses in life, at least seventy years would be a good life, but in the best years of her life, she had disappeared.

Cui Yunhao didn't say anything for a long time, he lowered his eyes and couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly, Chu Yingying could only see his palms clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if he wanted to pinch his palms to bleed.

After being together for so many years, how could Chu Yingying not know what was in his heart?Then he smiled and comforted him: "Don't be angry, am I fine now?"

Cui Yunhao moved, raised his eyes to look at her, finally loosened his fist slowly, then held Chu Yingying's hand, and said seriously and firmly: "Yingying, in this life...you will be fine."

Hearing this, Chu Yingying looked at him for a moment, saw the stubbornness and tenacity in the young man's eyes, then smiled slowly, nodded and said, "Okay."
