Chapter 5 Who Falls First(1/2)

There is a bronze statue of Guanyin in the main hall of Guanyin Pavilion, which is more than ten feet tall. On both sides are a boy who is good at wealth and a dragon girl. Flowers, fruits, incense candles, butter and tea are placed on the altar.

In the exquisite copper incense burner, thirteen incense sticks are scattered among them.

After Mu Yun offered incense, he still left the main hall with a pious expression, followed closely by Yun Chen, Yun Lin and others.

As soon as they sat down in the side hall, Shui Fu and Shui Rong, dressed in green dresses and blouses, walked in.

"My maid has met General Mu."

Mu Yun was surprised: "Why did Mu Shui send you two here?"

These two maids are the two most powerful people around Mu Shui, and they have never left Mu Shui.

Ever since the two maids walked in, Yun Chen and others looked at them unscrupulously.

The two of them were in their 28th year, and they were pretty and charming, especially Shui Fu. Standing next to Shui Rong, who had no ornaments on her body, she looked particularly dazzling.

Shui Fu loves to dress up, and she always changes her hair accessories and facial makeup every day. She is the most beautiful maid in the North Palace.

Today, she had a double bun, with a small pomegranate flower inserted into each of the two symmetrical buns, and an auspicious cloud painted with yellow powder on her forehead, which made her look even more beautiful than the fresh pomegranate flower.

.

Hearing Mu Yun's question, Shui Fu's red lips pursed slightly, and her whole body exuded reluctance: "General Mu, you also think it's inappropriate, right?

"We are the most capable people around Madam. If you lend us both out at once, Madam will be exhausted, right?

"Besides, she is just a little girl guarding the Ksitigarbha Pavilion. There is no need for me and Shui Rong to take action. Just send two little maids there."

Ever since Shui Fu and Shui Rong came in from outside the hall, Yun Chen's eyes had not left Shui Fu. When he heard her delicate voice, he felt a numbness all over his body.

Shui Rong said to Shui Fu in a half-reminding, half-reprimanding manner: "This is your lady's order, we must obey it."

Shui Fu glared at Shui Rong pretending to be angry, and then said to Mu Yun: "General Mu, why don't you talk to the lady again and lend me someone else.

"Shui Rong and I must go back together, otherwise my wife will work too hard."

This time, Shui Rong did not scold Shui Fu. She looked at Mu Yun, her eyes full of expectation, and she obviously hoped that Mu Yun would only borrow one person.

Mu Yun suddenly laughed. In terms of guessing the master's thoughts, those of them who followed the master through life and death were not as good as Mu Shui, who came to the master's side later. They were really ashamed.

"Since Mu Shui wants it, then you can stay."

"Ah?" Shuifu called out, very unhappy: "Then how long do we have to stay in the South Hall?"

"After that little girl's injury is healed, you can go back first."

"Great, I thought I couldn't go back to the North Hall." Shuifu smiled.

The next moment, the smile on Shui Fu's face disappeared again: "Why is there only one going back? How long will the other one stay with the little girl?"

When the time comes, will she go back or Shuirong?

Mu Yun smiled but did not answer, and ordered Chi Ye: "Take them down to resettle them."

"Yes, General."

Akano walked over and said, "You two ladies, please follow me."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong bowed to Mu Yun and followed Chi Ye away.

"I heard that the Ksitigarbha Pavilion in the South Palace houses many evil people. Dragons and snakes are mixed together, and the most dangerous one is Shui Rong. We have to be careful."

"Don't worry, those people are most afraid of death and dare not touch us."

"Yes, we are from the King of Chu..."

The woman's voice gradually faded away. Mu Yun walked to the corridor outside the palace and looked at the endless mountains.

Yun Chen and Yun Lin looked at each other and quietly retreated.

----------

"Beep beep beep beep peel..."

what sound?

Cui Hengyue opened her eyes and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Candle lamp?

Wasn't it still daytime just now? Why were candles lit?

Wait, this is not her room.

Cui Hengyue sat up suddenly and looked at the place where he was, the North Cave, Auntie's room, how could she be here?

"Ah...my head hurts..."

Just when Cui Hengyue wanted to search for memories in her mind, her head started to hurt violently. She could not help but curl up into a ball holding her head.

"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?"

Qionghua made the medicine and walked in. She happened to see this scene. She quickly put down the medicine bowl and ran to the bed, "Yueyue, do you have a headache?"

"...Hmm." Cui Hengyue squeezed out one word from between her teeth.

"Don't think about it, just take a rest first."

Qionghua helped Cui Hengyue lean on the pillow, then brought the medicine and fed it to Cui Hengyue one by one.

"It's so bitter. Why do the medicines here taste so bad?" Cui Hengyue complained after taking the medicine and her headache eased a bit.

Qionghua put down the medicine bowl and asked strangely: "You never complained when you took medicine before. What's wrong now?"

"..."

Cui Hengyue paused and moved his eyes slightly: "Today's medicine is bitter than before."

"Then eat a candied fruit and squeeze it." Qionghua immediately went to get the candied fruit.

After bringing the candied fruit, Qionghua handed the candied fruit to Cui Hengyue's mouth as if coaxing a child: "Ah, open your mouth."

Cui Hengyue was speechless, but she still opened her mouth.

When the candied fruit entered her mouth, she chewed it twice, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

This candied fruit is so delicious.

"I want more, ah." Cui Hengyue opened his mouth again.

"You." Qionghua patted Cui Hengyue's forehead lovingly, and then went to dig out candied fruits from the jar.

She lowered her head too quickly and missed Cui Hengyue's uncomfortable expression.

"Ah, open your mouth." Seeing Cui Hengyue's mouth closed again, Qionghua coaxed her to open her mouth.

The discomfort in Cui Hengyue's heart disappeared instantly when the candied fruit entered his mouth. He swallowed the candied fruit in two or three times and said to Qionghua: "Give me a few more."

Qionghua frowned: "Is today's medicine really so bitter? You usually only take one candied fruit after drinking medicine."

The most important thing is that Cui Hengyue doesn't like sweets. If the medicine wasn't so bitter, she would never eat candied fruits. Even if she wanted to eat them, she would only eat one.

Is it because she jumped off a cliff and died once, and she felt so bitter that she wanted to eat sweets?

Jump off a cliff?

By the way, how could she forget such an important thing?

"Yueyue, why are you so stubborn that you want to commit suicide?"

Qionghua put down the preserves jar and looked at Cui Hengyue sadly: "My wife asked you to live well before she died. Did you forget the vow you made to my wife so quickly?"

Hearing this, a picture emerged in Cui Hengyue's mind:

The girl who burst into tears knelt on the ground, holding the young woman who was looking back with one hand tightly, raising the other hand, sobbing and swearing: "I, Cui Hengyue, swear to God, listen to my mother-in-law...live well."

"No matter what kind of difficulties I encounter in the future, I will definitely... survive..."

After listening to the girl's oath, the young woman closed her eyes with relief.

Once again feeling the girl's helpless despair and the sadness of losing a loved one, Cui Hengyue's tears couldn't help but well up.

The next moment, Cui Hengyue raised her head and pushed back the tears: "I haven't forgotten, and I didn't seek short-term consequences. I just wanted to..."

Cui Hengyue's voice stopped abruptly when she caught a glimpse of the edge of her green skirt at the door.

Qionghua opened her mouth to ask, but Cui Hengyue raised her finger in front of her lips to signal her to be silent.

The room was quiet for a long time.

Shuifu didn't wait until later and stepped into the room.

"who are you?"

Cui Hengyue saw two strange women coming in and looked at them warily.

Shui Fu stopped a few feet away from the bed, folded her hands on her chest, looked down at Cui Hengyue, and looked at her wantonly.

Shui Rong came up from behind and introduced expressionlessly: "My name is Shui Rong, and her name is Shui Fu. We are sent by General Mu Yun to the North Cave to take care of you temporarily."

"wrong."

Shui Fu coldly and arrogantly corrected Shui Rong's words: "We are here to watch you, so you'd better stop looking for shortcomings, otherwise I will tie you up."
