To celebrate the union of Rongqing and Yin'er, Enhai's house is full of festive atmosphere. Yingying and Yuanliu, Rongqing's mother and sister-in-law, including Li Lianying and Xiao Huihui who retired at home, all came.In short, there were more people than expected, and Enhai set up four banquets in the flower hall.In the afternoon, Rong Qing specially prepared a soft sedan chair to take Yin'er to his second uncle's house from the courtyard where he used to live in the south of the city. After drinking for three rounds, Yin'er felt tired, so she went back to the temporary new house.Because of her insistence, the new house was not hung with red and green lights, but a big red happy letter was pasted on the door.She had a dream last night, dreaming that the tea cup was bleeding from seven holes, and she cried to her about the tragic situation of being poisoned to death, asking her to avenge him.She asked him who the enemy was, and before he could speak, she woke up from the nightmare.

Ever since Xiao Hui said that Cha Shuizhang was poisoned to death that day, and that it might have something to do with Rong Qing, she has been restless.She didn't believe his nonsense, but Mr. Li, Yuan Liu, and Yingying all suspected that Uncle Zhang's death was caused by something strange, thinking that someone had killed him.I remember that when she came home that day, Cha Shuizhang died in the bedroom, and the table in the main room was full of wine and vegetables, and she always felt that something was wrong.Although there was only one pair of bowls and chopsticks and one wine glass on the table, with such a large jar of wine and a table full of vegetables, it stands to reason that he could not drink that much wine or eat that much food by himself.

I remember that shortly after Xiao Hui left that day, Rong Qing came back.She told him that Xiaohui had come back, and said that Zhang Shuizhang drank Hedinghong, which was said to be something only found in the palace. He is talking nonsense.I have been in the palace for many years, why haven't I heard of it?He stared and scolded Xiao Huihui, how frustrated he is!Just because he still wants to drink wedding wine, he owes me cat urine!She wanted to say that Mr. Li said the same thing, but seeing his unhappy face, she held back her words.She always felt that Rong Qing looked a little nervous.In short, thinking about Chashuizhang's death now, there are indeed many doubts. The more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes, and she dare not think about it further.She couldn't lose him again, for whatever reason, she couldn't.

She sat at the coffee table, took a sip of bitter tea, and suddenly the beaded curtain on the door was lifted, and a woman in her late thirties walked in.The woman entered the door and stood there staring at Yin'er, looking at her for a long time. The woman who came in was Xiao Gege from Rui Wang's family. Not long after she returned to Beijing, her father passed away.She wrote a letter to Rong Qing, asking him to wait for her in Japan with peace of mind, and said that she would go back after guarding the spirit of her father.She carried her father's coffin back to her hometown in Northeast China, and buried the old man in the ancestral cemetery. When she hurried back to Beijing, she realized that Rong Qing had returned with her on his back.Not to mention, he actually found the court lady who was his former lover and wanted to marry him, which annoyed her.

She sneaked into Eunhae's house quietly.When she entered the house, she saw the bustle in the flower hall, and she had an idea in her heart, wanting to see what kind of fairy this bride is, so that Rong Qing would trick her into betraying her time and time again, and not treat her as a prince's family at all. Gege took it to heart.She asked a maid and learned that Yin'er was not on the wine table, so she followed the maid's instructions and found a new house all the way.Seeing Yin'er, she felt that she was not very beautiful, but she was quite handsome.She didn't understand that such a maid from an ordinary family background had such great charm, which made Rong Qing wait for more than ten years wholeheartedly.

Are you the bride?We finally meet!Little Gege laughed wantonly. May I ask you are?Yin'er has never seen Little Gege before, so she doesn't know who she is. After making trouble for a long time, you still don't know who I am?Little Gege was jealous, pointing to the brand-new big bed in the room and said, let me tell you this, I should have slept in your bed! You, you nonsense!Yin'er stood up from the coffee table.I'm talking nonsense?Little Gege smiled coldly, took off the green jade wrench and handed it to Yin'er, you always know this, right? This was rewarded by the emperor.Yin'er was shocked.This is the glory that Guangxu rewarded her, how could it be in her hands.She suddenly realized that the woman in front of her was Xiao Gege from Rui Wang's family. She had been chasing Rong Qing closely, and she obviously wanted to make trouble here.

How did it get to me?Little Gege angrily accused Rong Qing of lying to her again and again, saying that she and Rong Qing had lived together in Japan for many years.The more she talked, the more excited she became, and the more she talked, the more sad she became.Yin'er stood there in a daze, as if the sky had fallen for a while, she opened her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time. Rong Qing came in suddenly.He was drinking with the guests in the flower hall, and Xiao Hui told him quietly that Xiao Gege was here.He panicked when he heard it.He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Little Gege to go back to his hometown in the Northeast to watch for his father, marry Yin'er early, and then left.I didn't expect her to come back suddenly.He left the flower hall, but couldn't find her around, and immediately thought that she might have gone to find Yin'er.He walked to the new house, and heard Xiao Gege talking without entering the door.He walked into the door lightly, and seeing Little Gege holding up the green jade wrench in his hand, telling Yin'er that he gave it to her, he reached out to snatch the wrench from Little Gege's hand.

give me back!he yelled. Little Gege dodged, squeezed the wrench tightly in the palm of his hand, and said to him: You pay me back first. What did I do to you?He asked inexplicably. What about my bottle of Hedinghong? You are crazy, get out!He knew that she was speaking freely, so he sternly slammed her away. Give me the crest of a crane!She stared at him, and her eyeballs almost didn't bleed. What do you want that for!He is in a hurry.Originally, other people were suspicious about the cause of Chashuizhang's death, and if she made a fuss, things would definitely be revealed.When Yin'er heard Little Gege clamoring for him to ask for a red crown, her heart tensed up immediately, and things she didn't want and dared to think came to her mind again.

You can't control it.I wouldn't drink it anyway, it's not worth it for you.The more she talked, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help crying.She scolded him for giving his heart to a dog.Pointing to Yin'er, asking him to tell Yin'er how many times she saved him, and how many times he lied to her.He was scolded anxiously by her, in front of Yin'er, he couldn't afford to lose face, so he simply gritted his teeth and died. What nonsense are you talking about!The whole one and a half.Get out of here!He gritted his teeth and growled, with indescribable anger in his heart, as long as she showed up, everything would be messed up.

Hurrah!You are a wolf!Little Gege put his hands on his hips, his eyes were wide open, I wanted to save face for you, but you are shameless, and I can't help it.Do you think I don't know?You forced him to drink that bottle of Hedinghong when you went to the tea chapter, and it killed him. You pretend I don't know! You spitting blood!His face was ashen, and his heart was in a mess. He didn't know where she heard it. Don't be stubborn.Take out the bottle, and you and I will go to the government to confront each other in court.If the bottle is full, I falsely accuse me of sitting back.If there are fewer things inside, then open the coffin for an autopsy, and you must be sent to the guillotine!

I'm not afraid to go anywhere. Don't be afraid that you will pay me back! Take it and give it back to others.Yin'er finally couldn't help but interject, she instinctively felt that Little Gege was telling the truth.As for who told her, Xiao Huihui or someone else, it doesn't matter anymore. I didn't bring it back, I stayed in Japan. If you want to lie to me, there is no way!You are a murderer, you killed Eunuch Zhang!you The uncle, Mr. Li, Xiao Huihui and others rushed to persuade the two parties.Rong Qing was so angry that he quarreled with Xiao Gege, saying that he spouted blood.In order to ease the atmosphere on the scene, Enhai hurriedly asked Rong Qing to be dragged away, coaxing and persuading Xiao Gege.Rong Qing was dragged back to the wine table, feeling an indescribable annoyance in his heart.He wanted to ask Yin'er to explain, but he thought that she was his wife anyway, so it would not be too late to explain later, so he grabbed the wine glass and continued to drink with the guests. After everyone left, Yin'er stayed alone in the new house. She stood there, looking at this temporary new house, her heart was like ashes from a charcoal fire, and her heart was as empty as death.This room was originally my uncle's study.After Rong Qing returned from Japan, she has been living here, so she temporarily changed this place into a new house. She closed the door and rummaged through the boxes in front of the bookshelves. She seemed to be looking for something, but in fact she herself She didn't know what to look for, it was just a subconscious, after a long time she had a vague feeling that what she wanted was the evidence of Uncle Zhang's murder. She searched everywhere, but found nothing.She sat on the edge of the bed, convincing herself again and again that what Little Gege said was not true, but she couldn't convince herself no matter what.Thinking that such a good person as Deshun might die at the hands of her most beloved man, there was a chill all over her body, and that chill slowly crawled from her limbs to her heart. She sat on the edge of the bed, dangling her legs wildly.Suddenly, she heard a noise.She looked down and found that he had kicked Rong Qing's black riding boots over.She stretched out her hand to lift the boot, and unexpectedly saw a small porcelain bottle hidden in the mouth of the boot.She hurriedly picked it up and took a look, and couldn't help being stunned.There was a beautifully printed label on the bottle, with the words made by the imperial court on it, and the three bright red characters suddenly jumped into her eyes. There is nothing more to doubt.The words "Hedinghong" are the best witnesses. The one who killed Uncle Zhang was none other than Rong Qing. For the first time, she and him looked like a real couple. Under the soft light, on the big bed hung with quilt curtains, they enjoyed the wine of life without any worries, and loved frankly and primitively. For the love of this life, for more than ten years of waiting and suffering, she wished she could make up for it all in one night.She hugged him tightly and rolled around on the big newly married bed.This world has become unimportant, what is important is her and him.It seems that the two of them are enough in the world, and nothing else is needed.She and him are the whole world. He crawled on her like a beast, kissing her, nibbling her and ravaging her, venting the roughest and most beautiful masculinity of men.Like a bay of clear water, she opened her arms to welcome the bitter wine brewed with life with the tenderness and charm unique to women, trembling in this heart-wrenching pleasure.The most primitive love of human beings has not changed for millions of years.It's just that they paid too much for it.This heart-pounding, deep-rooted love is tightly fused with endless hate. She can't tell the boundary between love and hate. Maybe you can't love if you can't hate, just like there is no life without death. Could it be that these ten years of suffering are just to win this day? In the middle of the night, she got out of bed and put a jug of wine and two wine glasses on the small coffee table.She had poisoned the jug beforehand.What was used was Rongqing Poisoned Tea Zhang's Hedinghong, and she poured the rest of the vial into the flagon.She walked to the bed, raised the curtains, and saw him lying on his back, snoring in a deep sleep.She hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed him awake.He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked what was the matter.She pointed to the jug on the coffee table and asked him if he could still drink.He didn't understand what she meant for a moment, but when he saw the wine jug on the tea table, he sat up abruptly and said excitedly that he could still drink a catty. It's so late, let's drink tomorrow!He looked at his beautiful wife under the dim light, and felt that she was very attractive. He couldn't help but put his arms around her waist that was as soft as a cat, and stroked her warm body. The thing in his heart couldn't help but be excited , pounding around in the chest cavity.Right now, he doesn't want to drink, but wants to hug her and make out with her again. She is the best wine.You haven't had a drink with me tonight.She took his hand away from her waist.He looked at her, and then remembered that she had a headache yesterday and left the wine table early.Later, Little Gege made a fuss, and he and she never bothered to drink a cup of wine. Then, what about after drinking?he asked her excitedly.She nodded, now that he was motivated, he quickly got out of bed, sat down by the tea table, and picked up the glass to drink. What's the rush, let's talk first, she sat down opposite him, feeling unspeakably nervous. Still talking?Ah, go ahead.He looked at her pretty face, and was only thinking about going to bed. He was so anxious that he wanted to urge her to speak quickly, but he felt bad, so he had no choice but to put down his glass and wait for her to speak. How many times have we prayed to heaven and earth?she asked. Twice.He thought about it, once on the way to escape, once today. How about one more time before entering the palace?she asked again. Yes, at your house, he smiled when your mother paid respects to her once, and finally remembered to pay respects to her three times. Remember when you and I swore together?She asked, in fact, what she was thinking about at the moment was this beautiful and terrible oath. We cannot be born in the same year and the same day, but we hope to die in the same year and the same day.He kept his original oath. Brother Qing!From now on, we will never be separated again!Her voice trembled, and we drank a cup of wine. good!He promised very crisply. The two stood up at the same time, walked together, held their glasses of wine, and stretched out their arms to cross each other.Since then they have been together forever.She thought in her heart that as long as the two drank the wine in the glass, everything would be over.The moment his lips touched the wine glass, she suddenly raised her hand and knocked over the wine glass in his hand.He froze there, not knowing what she meant.Even she herself didn't understand why she did this.She clearly thought about it, the two of them died together.She stared at him, wishing she could swallow him in one gulp, her heart ached so badly.He noticed that her eye sockets were wet and asked her what was going on.She laughed miserably, raised the poisoned wine in her hand, and drank it in one gulp. You, why don't you let me have a drink with you?He was about to pour wine from the flagon while talking, but she stopped him from letting him pour. I have something to tell you, don't blame me.she says. What's up?He asked anxiously, worried that she would take what Little Gege said nonsense in front of her. Zhang Deshun gave me a dream, telling me that someone forced him to drink Hedinghong! Not me, not me!Before she could finish speaking, he hurriedly defended, don't listen to little Ge Ge nonsense, she wants to be nice to me, but I don't want to, so she spitting blood Don't talk about it, I will ask Zhang Deshun when I see him later. you! ?He stared at her, and there was a bang in his head, you are in the wine Yes, there was poison in the wine.She nodded calmly.She had wanted him to drink the poisoned wine with her.The moment he toasted, she suddenly felt that since Cha Shuizhang died in his hands, she couldn't let this crime happen again in her hands, and she couldn't let him die in her hands.She smiled bitterly.He took out the small porcelain bottle containing Crane Crown Red from his bosom, and flashed it in front of his eyes. His heart shook, and he froze there for a moment, beads of sweat oozing from his pale forehead.He hugged her suddenly, saying that if this kind of thing was mixed with alcohol, it would be hopeless.She sneered and said that this is not the first time for you: Since you know, why did you harm him?You said, what did he do to you, to make such a murderous move! He didn't expect her to know all about what he did, and he didn't expect that she would mix the remaining half bottle of Hedinghong into the wine.It's pointless to explain all of this.The first one is to save people, the most important thing is to save his beloved woman.He walked towards the door and said he would go to the doctor immediately.She ran to the door first, stopped him with both hands, and shook her head in pain, saying that it was too late, the crane crown red was mixed with wine, and there was no hope. He stood there blankly, and Cha Shuizhang had said this to him before he died.Don't talk about asking for a doctor right now, even if the gods come, it's useless.She suddenly felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, and she knew the strength of the medicine was coming, so while she was still able to talk, she asked him, why did you hurt Cha Shui Zhang. I am for you, all for you!But why are you?you say!Yes, I killed Cha Shui Zhang, but I did it for you, to be with you forever in this life!I don't understand, could you save Eunuch Zhang by killing yourself? He rushed forward, hugged her tightly, and shouted why, why he repeated the three words many times.I heard him asking her why repeatedly, just as she asked him why, each standing on their own standpoint, no one could tell.She thought very simply: Could it be that for her, he could kill a good person who had never hurt him, and was his and her benefactor. In his opinion, for her, he could be desperate.This is perhaps the biggest difference between the two.For his own sake, he can disregard anyone and any reason, but this is unacceptable to her.It is obviously unreasonable to say that she drank poisonous wine to die for Cha Shuizhang.It's not so much for tea, but for herself, for a helpless choice after the best thing in her heart was destroyed. Over the years, what she loved deeply and waited for was the loving, intelligent, kind-hearted Rong Qing, who hated evil like a vengeful man, definitely not the selfish and petty man in front of her.For his own sake, he did not hesitate to kill Cha Shuizhang.God can't tolerate it!The man in front of her was originally her love, her conscience and her dream, the whole world.But the crime he committed not only ruined her dream, broke her heart, but also destroyed her hope for the whole world. He held her writhing body writhing in pain due to the onset of toxicity, and watched life leave her little by little. Only then did he realize the tragedy he had created, and he shouted loudly: Yin'er!What are you doing?Even if I have eleven million mistakes, you shouldn't do this! She hugged him tightly, smiled bitterly, and held back what she wanted to say.She knows that some things in the world cannot be explained clearly.She stared wide-eyed, feeling that life was slowly leaving her.She remembered that Xiao Huihui had told her that Rongqing was back, and she felt an inexplicable ominous feeling in her heart. If she got involved with him in everything, there would be no good results, and she did it again. This is fate!I can't hide even if I want to. you hate me?He put his arms around her and asked with all his strength. No, I hate myself She lay on his chest and said with difficulty, Brother Qing!I'm sorry for you, I can't stay in this world with you. Looking at Yin'er who was dying, he felt extremely regretful.In the past ten years, everything he has done is for her, for him and her to be together forever.Yet he ruined her, and himself, for loving her.At this moment, no matter how sincere the confession, how eloquent explanation, how high-sounding reason, it is meaningless.He suddenly ran to the tea table and grabbed the pot of poisonous wine, turned to her and said, "Yin'er, you wait for me, I will accompany you right away." No, no no!She crouched on the ground, trying to stop him with the last of her strength.Before her words fell to the ground, he had already swallowed the poisoned wine in the pot. He dropped the flagon, rushed to her, picked her up from the ground, put her on the bed, and lay down next to her.She hugged his neck tightly, feeling really reluctant to part with him.She raised her eyelids with difficulty, trying to look at him again.She didn't expect that after waiting for so many years, the two of them finally got together and faced this kind of ending.She thought to herself, this is life!Vision is getting blurred.His face gradually moved away from her, drifting further and further away.At this time, his soft voice came from her ear.This is the oath of the two of them, and it is also an ancient and peaceful truth of the Chinese people: Yin'er has fulfilled the oath and cannot be born on the same day in the same year. I hope she has left before she hears the last word. Finished in Shenzhen in September 1997
