He ignored me and slept in the yard most of the night. When it was cold, I would pull the branches to cover it, but I couldn't. When the cold wind blew, I woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled to my feet. Mo Li was still awake, lying on the bed and looking at the flickering candle light.
I sat by his door, and I wanted to tell him, Mo Li, don't be sad.
But he will ask, he is sad for a person, worried enough, I do not want to be his burden, I just want to make him happy.
He opened the door at dawn and asked me softly, "Dear God, do you sleep here all night?"
I nodded and touched my head. "Mo Li, my head is hurting."
"Be good, don't drink anymore next time." He comforted me in this way and went to fetch water to wash his face.
When I walked him out, he said, "Be good and don't worry me. Go back."
"Can't I send you out?"
Thus, he didn't say anything. I walked with him to the entrance of the alleyway, and he said, "Good girl, let's go back."
Good, he only wants me to be good now.
I smiled at him. "Mo Li, I will always be very obedient. Can you come back earlier today? I'll cook for you."
"Be good, don't wait for me." he said again.
I was so sad that I wanted to cry. Seeing his swaying back getting more and more blurry, it turns out that I really couldn't hold back the tears.
Good, the heavens love you, you have to be good. His current request was for the heavens love you, be good.
Stay home obediently, obediently don't ask him anything, obediently don't give him any trouble.
Mo Li, I've already promised the emperor that I will enter the palace. I really want to tell you this, there is no secret between us, but when I say what I want to say, you say good, good, good.
If you say don't go, then I really won't go.
But it's best if I don't say it out loud, don't see the awkwardness and sigh in your eyes, that's what's best for me.
I always do my own things and think of nothing, and this time I will be so willful.
When you are happy, you will at least remember that in your life there was a woman called Mo Tian Ai who was not a bad girl.
I'll obediently go back and clean up all his clothes and sheets and all that stuff, then I'll ruin my things and burn them and throw those grass crickets away like I've never existed, and you'll think I hate you for running away in a daze because of other women and cooking and putting your things back in your room, and putting my books in disorder one by one, and in order to express my anger, I'll take a knife and chop up a lot of hibiscus flowers, your favorite hibiscus flowers. That way you won't wonder why I'm gone. You'll think I'm tired of you and leave.
I only brought some silver with me to the entrance of the alleyway to sit and wait for someone to come pick me up.
"Miss, please get on the carriage." A carriage stopped in front of me.
I screamed, "Who said I was leaving, didn't they give me two days?"
"Oh." The person did not say a word, and got on the carriage to leave.
I took a deep breath and looked back at the long, dark alley. "I'll go," I said weakly. Sooner or later, he would have to leave.
I jumped into the carriage with ease, and got into it to open the curtains and look at our home, which was getting farther and farther away, a little hazy, a little wet, so blurred that I couldn't see anything.
I know what this house is like even with my eyes closed, but when I'm about to leave, I suddenly have to remember, and suddenly I don't know what it looks like anymore.
Thus, he stuck his body out even more. How could he only remember to look confused?
The carriage was getting farther and farther away. In the end, he couldn't see anything.
I wiped my eyes firmly and sat up straight.
This road, is the future, is unknown, but I am not afraid.
I am the fearless Mo Tian Love. The carriage passed through the wide street, and after the bustle, there was a quiet place again. The sound of the wheels scraping against the stone floor sounded somewhat lonely.
The car stopped, and the person in front said, "Miss, we have arrived. Once we enter this palace, you will no longer be a Miss, you must remember your own identity. You are a servant, a palace maid in Yongjing Palace.
The gates of the Great Crimson Palace opened, and the sound was as unpleasant as the sound of chopping wood.
Once I entered this palace, I would no longer be free, but I was willing to enter it.
Jumping off the carriage, I stepped inside.
There was no regret, no withdrawal.
