Chapter 534 Extra Lan Xiaolou 3
"This is something she left behind. Xi Que accidentally found it in Chuxiu Palace. I haven't seen it, so I'm giving it to you now."
The year when the old Princess Yunyang entered the palace to escape the summer heat, Lan Xiaolou was secretly brought into the palace by the Tong family to perform for the nobles in the palace.
In other words, the Tong family thought they had hidden the truth.
Jiang Xinyue was already the empress at that time. What kind of movement in the palace could be hidden from her eyes and ears?
Not to mention, it was Jiang Xinyue who wrote a letter to leave the palace and asked Lan Xiaolou to cooperate with her in acting. When they
met again, Lan Xiaolou recognized her at a glance, but the old friend was no longer the person in front of him.
His second daughter was vicious and indifferent, and would never have such gentle and bright eyes.
His second daughter was sensitive and fragile. She was like a hedgehog and would not allow anyone to get close to her. She could not be so approachable.
Their temperaments were completely different.
But no one in the world could recognize them. They only remembered the current Empress.
Jiang Xinyue handed a small package to Lan Xiaolou: "I hope you understand that I am also helpless about this. This is not a choice I can make."
The two second daughters had similar styles of doing things. They would eliminate dangers and try their best to make themselves invincible.
"I understand..."
Such an incredible thing is beyond human power.
The second daughter... was not killed by the Empress.
The package in her hand was like a thousand gold coins. When the Empress left, she asked Xi Que to stay.
In this palace, Xi Que is the person closest to the second daughter Jiang in the world.
The small package was already a little dirty. Lan Xiaolou untied the knot on it, revealing several things.
A hairpin carved from pear wood, which was carved by Ruan for her when she was fifteen years old and had her first marriage.
A book of ghost stories found at the market, which was given to her by her younger brother Jiang Junze when she was eleven years old.
Half a piece of the finest white jade, which she and her younger sister Jiang Xinyan each got half.
And...
Lan Xiaolou's hands began to tremble.
In the interlayer of the package, there was a piece of white jade cake that had turned black and hard, wrapped in a purse.
The purse was exactly the same as the one he had given to the second girl that year.
The longing and grievances over the years turned into tears, which made his heart ache.
Even his breathing became disordered.
He didn't feel any pain, but it seemed like he hurt everywhere. He lost all his strength in an instant and collapsed on the ground.
But the hands tightly grabbed the package and held it to his chest. He cried silently, with only tears flowing freely.
The storybook fell to the ground, revealing half of the white letter inside.
Lan Xiaolou opened the storybook frantically, and tears fell on the paper, almost blurring the handwriting.
Fortunately, there were not many words on the letter, which read [Farewell, beloved].
Second Miss... Yue'er... She... She committed suicide!!
She hid the white jade cake that Lan Xiaolou gave her. Who her beloved was was already obvious.
With red eyes, Xi Que walked behind Lan Xiaolou and snatched the letter. After seeing the contents clearly, she burst into tears.
Her daughter deliberately lost favor and offended Concubine Li Guifei after her first night with the emperor.
She loved Lan Xiaolou...
She only realized that she loved Lan Xiaolou after she entered the palace and was favored by the emperor!
The sun shone in through the carved window, and the sunlight sprinkled on Lan Xiaolou's body, but he still felt cold all over.
It was not until Xi Que took out a tinder and burned the last letter cleanly that he suddenly woke up and crawled over with his hands and feet, trying to keep the pile of ashes.
That was... that was the love of his second daughter for him!
"I'm sorry..."
Xi Que wiped away her tears and forced herself to calm down: "Our queen is Jiang Xinyue, Jiang Xinyue... is my queen!"
There is no second Jiang Xinyue in this world, and there cannot be one.
She has long felt strange...
When the girl was in the Jiang family, she knew how to keep a low profile and often embarrassed the wife and the eldest girl in front of the old man. Why did she become a different person after entering the palace?
She became arrogant and stupid...
It turned out... It turned out that she wanted to die.
She didn't know anything.
And now Xi Que has no reaction at all. This time Jiang Xinyue kept her here as a test for her.
She wants to expose her identity to see whether Xi Que chooses her former master or stands by her side.
Although it was cruel to the original owner, Jiang Xinyue had to do it.
She had to eliminate the risk that had not yet occurred. She had a child and could not afford to gamble.
Well...
Lan Xiaolou carefully put a handful of black ash in an old purse: "As long as you still remember her, it will not be in vain for you to be master and servant."
What qualifications did he have to force Xi Que to stand on the side of the second girl?
From her mental outlook, her dress, and her demeanor, it can be seen that the current queen treats her like a real sister.
His second girl!
She will only stab everyone around her and make them bleed.
In this world, he is the only one who loves the second girl completely.
Life is like a play, and a play is like life.
Forget it...
just cooperate with the queen to put on a show, hoping that his kindness to the queen can also be exchanged for the people around the queen to treat his second girl well.
Maybe the second girl went into the original body of the empress?
Even if there was only a slight possibility, he wanted the good karma to fall on the second girl.
After parting at the palace, he would never see the empress again in his life. No
matter how similar their faces were, no matter how much people praised her, she was not the one in his heart.
He could not fall in love with someone else.
If he used her as a substitute, it would be an insult to the Empress and the love of his life.
He should have died for love, but in order not to implicate the Empress in the palace, he had to live well.
Time flies, and the years pass by.
The former masters of the opera world are now hidden in the smoke of the world.
"Master, you are staring at this purse again. It's broken. Let me sew a new one for you!"
Lan Xiaolou, with white hair, sat in a small courtyard full of flowers and plants. The yellowed and worn purse hung on the branches, which seemed out of place.
Xiao Fengxian, a famous opera actress in the capital, looked at her master in confusion and wanted to take the purse down.
"Don't move..."
The old voice seemed to carry the power that could penetrate time: "Some things are better when they are new, but some things...are better when they are old."
Xiao Fengxian didn't understand, but she respected her master very much.
When her master was young, he was extremely handsome and charming, like a banished immortal, but he never married and devoted his whole life to the opera world. He was the person she admired the most.
The sad and beautiful scripts created by her master in his later years have not been surpassed by anyone to this day. After decades, they are still the treasures of their opera world.
It is her luck to be able to study under Yu Lan Xiaolou.
"Looking at the autumn river, the garden is full of flowers and rain, the wind sweeps away the withered red, there are thousands of hatreds and thousands of worries..."
The old opera voice no longer has the stunning charm of his youth, but it has a unique charm.
The little phoenix fairy smiled and said, "Master, don't be unhappy. Your disciple brought you some white jade cakes."
