Article 503
At noon, the scorching sun was poisonous, the 'Imperial Forest Army' in the palace was dispatched one after another, and the splendid 'Fengqi Palace' surrounded by water, and the palace maids in the palace were sent to the 'Review Bureau' for questioning, and the concubines of each palace were also forced to return to their palaces, and the emperor ordered that all palace people in the palace should not be onlookers, and those who violated the order were beheaded.
As the head of the three palaces, Concubine Shu also enforces the decree of the harem, so she accompanied the emperor to the 'Fengqi Palace' to verify the evidence, while Ouyang Zhaoyi was confined to the 'Chongyang Palace' for the crime of implication. And the queen, who had already been grounded, was sent to the Buddhist hall of the 'Kunning Palace'

Overnight, the entire harem was involved in an unprecedented panic, those big red flowers that had been tied up, tied to every corner of the palace, at this moment, it seemed that it was not about celebration, but the blood color of death, just at the time of turmoil, the palace maids who were originally renovated in the 'Imperial Garden' actually found that there was a similar bloody filth in the black soil deep in the depths of Merlin
Then, at the foot of the palace wall, another palace maid picked up the dust that Gonggong Qin often held in his hands every day, and it was stained with blood
For a time, the entire imperial city was filled with blood, and the news that the palace was originally going to block it was spreading everywhere without a trace, and before the time of a pillar of incense, these rumors had already spread everywhere in the palace
In the back garden of the 'Heart Palace', Ruyue was dressed in a plain long skirt, walking in the empty flowers that had stopped renovation, and Qiao'er followed behind, and the master and servant walked into the long pavilion and sat on the stone bench.
Qiao'er looked at her master's pale face, bowed her head a little ashamedly, and wanted to comfort something, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qingyi and Xiao Tong who were walking towards this side, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly grabbed Ruyue's clothes, and said lightly: "Miss, Concubine De Niangniang"
Ruyue came back to her senses, and turned her head a little weakly to look at the quiet dark robe in the depths of the garden, her lonely eyes suddenly brightened up a lot, and then she hurriedly got up, lifted her skirt and stepped down the stone steps, and walked quickly to Qingyi's body, and when Xiao Tong had time to stop it, she grabbed Qingyi's long sleeves violently, and said with a little excitement: "You... Xiao Tong, is the matter of Shangguan Shangshu done by you? ”
Xiao Tong twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ruyue's hand, wanting to pull it away, but he was afraid that Ruyue's emotions would get out of control and hurt Qingyi's body and the imperial heir, so he could only block Qingyi's body with half of his body, and said in a low voice: "Sister Ruyue, this is the back garden, the ancients are cloudy, the partition wall has ears, not to mention that there is not even a wall here."
Ruyue's expression was embarrassed, she let go of her jade hand, but she still refused to let go and said: "I just want to know if this matter is Xiao Tong's doing, if not, then the situation in this harem must be in the hands of others, how can I not worry?" ”
Qingyi lowered her eyelashes, but ignored Ruyue, took two steps forward, watched the flowers blooming on the left and right, and then said leisurely: "What does Ruyue want me to admit?" ...", he smiled coldly, turned his head to look at Ruyue's slightly stunned expression, and said with a little coldness: "You have been waiting for the cold palace for three years, and now you can't even wait for a few days."
Ruyue's face turned red, and she turned her back with a little embarrassment, and then she twisted her eyebrows gently and unusually, turned her hands into fists, and said with her chest undulating: "Qingyi, you are just a wisp of ghost that I recruited with twenty years of longevity, if you came here and I disobeyed the will of heaven, then I will send you back again, it is in accordance with the will of heaven, we are one and one heart, you don't."
The "
Qingyi's eyes lit up, but she laughed softly, she turned around and walked to the 'moon viewing platform', stretched out her hand and folded off a bright red Xiao Qiang, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it lightly, her fingertips stroked those dense red needles, looked up at the high platform made of white jade, sighed lightly, turned to look at Ruyue, and said casually: "Since Ruyue has become wary of me,
And if you have the power to send me back, why waste your tongue here? Still is... Ruyue wants to make a bet with me to see who has a better position in the emperor's mind? ”
"You" Ruyue's face turned pale, she clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her pink lips tightened, and then took two steps forward, and said with some annoyance: "Xiao Tong, don't forget how you promised me at the beginning, now that you are pregnant with the imperial heir, you will naturally not keep the agreement you made with me, since you broke the contract first, why should I be polite to you?" ”
"Sister Ruyue..."Xiao Tong was angry, stepped forward to protect Qingyi's body, looked at Ruyue with some excitement, and said with a little anger: "Sister Ruyue said this too much?" Miss not only risked her life several times for Sister Ruyue, but Xian'er dared to ask her sister, what did Miss do wrong? What's more, my sister can't collect what Miss Quan asks for at all, and Miss is still one
Taste is helping my sister regain the throne and eradicate the harem forces"
Ruyue was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Qingyi's still indifferent expression as if she didn't quite believe it, and asked a little suspiciously, "Is it true?" But... But why did she conceive the emperor's heir, if there was no desire to fight, how could the emperor allow a concubine to stay on his bed? The emperor's temperament is indifferent and cold, and he never allows a palace concubine to step into his bedroom, let alone let him go
The concubine slept on his dragon bed
"What does that mean?" Qingyi suddenly said coldly, picked off the petals of Xiao Qiang in his hand one by one, and sprinkled them among the flowers, and then threw down the acupuncture rhizome in his hand, turned around and walked back, leaving only a cold sentence: "If Ruyue is jealous, then you can go to the emperor's bedroom tonight and ask to stay overnight, I think, the emperor must also be a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he will."
It will be fulfilled as the moon wishes", and then brushed his sleeves and left. |
Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's departing figure, his eyes turned to Ruyue's red and white look of hidden anger, pursed his lips, and then said softly: "Sister Ruyue, Miss is like going to thin ice in this harem for you, and you are frightened every step of the way, but you are", Xiao Tong took a deep breath, ignored Ruyue anymore, ran forward with a silk handkerchief, and then gently supported him
Qingyi's body walked back to the palace together
There are too many things happening today, although most of them were designed by Qingyi, but the Queen Mother fell ill, and Shangguan Wan'er committed suicide excitedly, but it was not in the original plan. Qingyi always thought that Shangguan Wan'er was calm-minded, after all, when she knew that her father was framed and exiled, she only complained in the 'Sidusk Palace', but she didn't want to do it after being imprisoned
Such a suicidal act.
"Miss, it's dry, let's drink a bowl of soup..."Qingyi touched a bowl of fragrant bird's nest lotus seeds to the bed, half-knelt on the fox fur carpet, stirred the spoon twice, blew lightly, and said: "This is the high-grade blood swallow rewarded by the emperor, the 'Purple Cloud Kingdom' came as a tribute, and it was originally intended to be given to the ladies of the palaces, but it was all left by the emperor."
Qingyi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl in Xiao Tong's hand, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a little tired low smile: "If Lord Xiao knows that the dowry sent by the envoys he sent is left for me by the emperor, I am afraid that he will rush to the Celestial Empire overnight to kill me", he said, waved his hand, and asked Xiao Tong to bring down the bowl of soup. |
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Qingyi's words, and suddenly thought of something, put the soup on the ground, and whispered a little unnaturally: "Miss, when it comes to the 'Ziyu Country' violin, the slave maid has something to report" Saying that, Xiao Tong was a little embarrassed, and then lowered his head and thought about it, and stammered slightly: "This happened today, it can be said that 'there are storms inside and outside the imperial city.'"
But... However, the slave maid just heard the maid in front of the palace say that the lord of Leng not only did not intend to delay the marriage, but also urged the emperor to complete the marriage as soon as possible to prevent long nights and dreams."
Qingyi held her breath, turned her eyes to look at Xiao Tong, her eyebrows gradually twisted, but after a while, she laughed softly, and said a little sarcastically: "Leng Guyun wants to take the opportunity to let the county lord of Allure become a concubine in one fell swoop, and now that he has such a good opportunity, how can he let it go?" The queen was escorted to the Buddhist hall, the virtuous concubine was imprisoned, Ouyang Zhaoyi was in danger, and the position of the concubine was still vacant
The Lord will be ranked in the position of the four concubines no matter what
"What do you mean, Miss?" Xiao Tong blinked a little slowly, then twisted his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said, "Miss, in this way, isn't the Lord of the Leng Country enjoying the benefits of a fisherman?" How can this be, she and the young lady risked their lives and laid out in this murderous place, and now let others enjoy it
Qingyi narrowed his eyelashes, stroked his lower abdomen with his bare hand, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered Ruyue, so he said casually: "Since Shangguan Zhong is dead, and Concubine Xian is also in a catastrophe, it is better to fulfill Ruyue's wish to re-ascend to the throne of concubine, Xiao Tong, you go to collect some handwriting in front of Shangguan Zhong, and ask someone to find an ink repair master in the capital to imitate his handwriting to write a confession
Later, it was circulated in the market, and then presented to the Queen Mother by Li Rongshang, so that the Mu family was exempted from responsibility, and Ruyue naturally had to return to the harem."
Xiao Tong's eyes widened, first stunned, then excited, but more of an indescribable sourness in his heart, Miss was already going to help Sister Ruyue regain the throne as a concubine, so will it be in the future... Leaving the court?
Pursing her lips, Xiao Tong's face gradually turned white, and a layer of mist rose from the corners of her eyes, she looked down at the lower abdomen that Miss caressed, but her heart ached, she endured the suffocation in her chest, and muttered: "Has Miss decided?" In fact... In fact, Sister Ruyue's affairs don't need to be completed so quickly, and when it comes to the matter of the county lord of Allure, Miss must also be able to think of Fazi making her unable to marry into the harem.
There is no need", there is no need to let the little prince accompany them to the bumpy life in the world now
Qingyi understood the meaning of Xiao's fairy tale, and even knew her guilt and concern for herself, so she smiled with relief, shook her head, and said with a smile: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, Xiao Tong, in this palace, I have done enough sins, if I can still enjoy these glory and wealth without shame, and indulge in the emperor's thousands of favors, one day, I will die."
Whole corpse"
Just like Shangguan Wan'er, I'm afraid that even if it really comes to the day when she is out of breath, she will not know that Qingyi is the murderer who really destroyed everything she has and killed her father, otherwise, she has not yet passed to the last moment, why should she decide to give up and continue to fight in this harem, and use those helpless ghosts and gods to vent her hatred and curse Ouyang Hongyu? If not
has come to the end of despair, why should she take her own life?
Xiao Tong lowered her head, and finally shed a tear, 'Red Wall Green Tile Jinluan Palace', this is a song she often listened to when she was a child, and her mother often said to herself, 'Red face is not old and grace is broken first', and I also know that the concubines since ancient times will say sadly: "I don't love the palace wall willow", but those are far from standing here today to witness all this, and hand stained with blood.
Closing her eyes, Xiao Tong's tears slipped from her face, she knelt on the ground, reached out to hold Qingyi's hand, sobbed, raised her long wet eyelashes and looked at Qingyi's sad eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said hoarsely: "The slave maid will go and prepare everything now, as soon as this matter is over, the slave maid will take the young lady away from this place with red walls, and no matter what this palace will send in the future."
What is born, who lives and who dies"
Qingyi looked at the tears on Xiao Tong's face, and the eyebrows that were originally lightly twisted were gradually smoothed, as if she really saw the pure mountains and fields outside the palace, the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile, and she suddenly remembered that from the day she signed the contract, when the soul covered this body, the sedan chair had been carried into the 'Xuanwu Gate', so that she didn't even have a chance to take a look at the appearance outside the palace
No
"Okay" Qingyi suddenly answered softly, holding Xiao Tong's hand tightly, a quiet smile filled the corner of his mouth, and then closed his eyes, but there was an empty pain in his heart
Perhaps, Qingyi's smile was too ethereal, too hazy, too much to make people feel like they couldn't grasp anything, Xiao Tong not only stopped crying, but looked at Qingyi's calm and unusual face with uneasy eyes, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, and this uneasiness suddenly became an indescribable despair and powerlessness when he saw Qingyi close his eyes, like... The sky is about to fall, and it is generally impossible to stop it
of spreading in the heart
At lunchtime, the entire harem was quiet and breathless, in front of the 'Fengqi Palace', Concubine Shu stood solemnly on the emperor's side, with an elegant and delicate look, but such a stunning beauty, when Gonggong Li led the 'Royal Forest Army' to general Shangguan Zhong, who was already slightly rotten, and the smell was stronger under the poisonous sun, she was so frightened that her face was discolored, pinching the silk handkerchief to cover her lips, and she was disgusted frequently, and even
In addition to palpitations, he grabbed the emperor's long sleeves suddenly, and shouted at Gonggong Li in horror: "Carry away, carry away"
Seeing that Concubine Shu was so disrespectful in front of everyone, Gonggong Li hurriedly called a few palace maids who stayed outside the palace to come in and serve, but Concubine Shu seemed to be so frightened that she lost her soul, and when she stopped vomiting, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak, just called the emperor in a daze, but the emperor had already left with his sleeves brushed up
Gonggong Li stood in the hall and looked at Concubine Shu's pale face, full of embarrassment, where was the tenth solemn just now, unconsciously sneered, brushed the dust in his hand, stepped forward and said: "Concubine Shuniang, the slave saw that the emperor's face was not good, I am afraid that Niangniang had angered the emperor just now", the emperor originally wanted all women to avoid the corpse, but Concubine Shu was reckless and said
He is now the head of the three palaces, and he should assist the emperor in finding out about this matter, but now he has become like this.
Concubine Shu was stunned, and then hurriedly ran outside the hall, but where was the figure of the emperor, because of excessive fright, and then full of grievances, she actually cried on the main hall, so that the guards in the palace were stunned, but fortunately, Gonggong Li stepped forward to remind him twice, and Concubine Shu was stunned and was helped back to 'Zhaoyun Palace' by the maid
