After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 359 [Continued] Live for a lifetime

Chu Yingying nodded and said, "I encountered some small trouble, but it was done at least."

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

Chu Yingying was quite surprised. She didn't expect that he could guess. Then she nodded and said, "I've hidden them. 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 Ministry of Justice."

He paused and continued, "He and King Yong already knew about this."

"So fast." Chu Yingying murmured.

"Yes," Cui Yunhao turned to look at her and said, "From the teacher's opinion, they learned about this matter almost immediately after Miss Dou beat the drum. Originally, they wanted to not let Dou do that day.

The girl came back, but Miss Dou was very alert at that time and was unwilling to believe them easily, so what happened later."

Chu Yingying nodded and said, "It's good that way, you..."

She hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "Have you seen King Yong?"

Cui Yunhao said: "Not yet, the teacher wants to take me to visit King Yong. I can't rest assured that you, so I rushed back, and it's the same if I visit you again the next day."

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

.”

Cui Yunhao's hand suddenly stopped. He unconsciously straightened his spine, and then continued to push the door open. The door shaft creaked and rang in the quiet night.

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

After a while, both of them sat behind the table. Cui Yunhao had pieced the two tables together, and the light was lit in the center. The candlelight swayed and jumped gently, as if trembling.

Chu Yingying's eyes fell on the wick, watching it burn slowly, as if it was verbally speaking, and as if it was in a divine sense.

Cui Yunhao didn't urge her, but just waited patiently, just like he had been waiting silently for so many years. After such a long time, the fog in Chu Yingying's heart was finally about to break through at this time, even if you can only see it.

He was satisfied with a crack.

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

She paused, Cui Yunhao looked at her at the right time and said, "What are those nightmares?"

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

The fire swayed slightly, and Chu Yingying looked at it, as if she was in a divine sense, and said, "About the day I was fifteen years old, there were a lot of things in my mind. Do you know that Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies?"

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

Hearing this, Cui Yunhao's eyes moved, and a little obvious shock flashed inside, but he didn't say anything, just asked: "Yingying means that you knew when you were fifteen years old.

Have these?"

"Yes," Chu Yingying looked at him and said, "Although I don't believe in these strange powers and gods, my memories are always not fake. I have lived my whole life in my dreams, with beginning and end, and I also firmly believe that all of them are

It happened really before.”

Cui Yunhao asked curiously: "What did Yingying look like in her dream? If you lived for an extra lifetime, did you meet me in that lifetime?"

Chu Yingying smiled and replied, "No, I didn't meet you in my previous life."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhao looked a little disappointed, and Chu Yingying said, "But I heard of your name, and it is famous for Jindu."

Cui Yunhao's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "Where is Yingying?"

"Me?" Chu Yingying fell into memories and said, "I escaped from prison with Uncle Ge when I was fifteen years old, but we escaped not in the south, but in the north, so I think it was that

We missed it, and later we finally escaped our lives and I was sold by my uncle and aunt."

"Sold?" Cui Yunhao's voice calmed down.

"Well," Chu Yingying nodded and continued: "At first, it was sold to a famous opera troupe. She learned opera with them. After singing for a few years, the opera troupe fell and I was sold to Xiaoxiang Pavilion by the headmaster.

”

"You probably haven't heard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It is the largest singing and dancing workshop in Jindu. Most of them are beautiful women, as old as me. After being sent in, the disciplined ladies are very strict, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

You have to learn everything, not only learn, but also master it, so that you can be happy with the great officials and literati."

Chu Yingying's eyes gradually condensed into the candlelight, as if they were trapped in some memories. Cui Yunhao suddenly realized that it was because of these experiences that Yingying could play the guqin, and she played it very well. He was not in his heart.

I feel a little sad.

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

Cui Yunhao's eyes moved slightly, and the hands in his sleeves suddenly tightened, his eyes were deep, and he asked, "What's next?"

Chu Yingying lowered her eyes and said, "Later, several years passed like this, and the prince became less and less willing to accept the emperor's wishes. I remember it was in the 36th year of Yongtai. The emperor was critically ill and issued an order to depose the prince and die.

At that time, the throne was passed to Duan Ce, the king of Yong. Duan Ce led his troops into the Eastern Palace, and blood flowed into a river. The prince and I died tragically in a pool of blood together."

Her voice was slow and her tone was light, without any turbulence. However, in Cui Yunhao's ears, it was like a thunderclap, which made his mind roar. Almost in an instant, Cui Yunhao's eyes were

It's red.

The air was as quiet as if it had solidified. The quietly burning candle fire suddenly crackled and a lamp burst out. Cui Yunhao came to his senses.

The redness in his eyes gradually faded away. It was not until now that he finally understood what the nightmare Yingying had been doing for many years.

Why did she call Duan Geng's name in her dream, grit her teeth and hate her like the sea, and why did she often get awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night?

How painful did Yingying experience in the beginning?

Cui Yunhao found his voice for a while and asked in a difficult tone: "How old was Yingying at that time?"

Chu Yingying thought for a while and said, "I entered the Prince's Mansion at the age of nineteen. When the prince was deposed, it was already twenty-four years old."

If there is no illness or pain in life, it will be easy to live for at least 70 years, but she has lost her fragrance in the best years of her life.

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

After dependent on each other for so many years, Chu Yingying still doesn't know what he is thinking? Then she smiled and comforted, "Don't be angry, am I fine now?"

Cui Yunhao moved, looked up at her, and his fists finally slowly relaxed. Then he grabbed Chu Yingying's hand and said seriously and firmly: "Yingying, in this life... you will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yingying looked at him for a moment, and saw the stubbornness and tenacity in the young man's eyes, so she smiled slowly and nodded, "Okay."
