Chapter Seventy-Five: The Pseudo-Triangular Relationship 3
There was a sudden warmth on his shoulders, and when he looked back, Shen Biyan was standing on tiptoe to put on a cloak for him.
"It's autumn, the weather is cold, be careful that it's cold. She said.
If it weren't for the fact that so many things had happened before, if he hadn't clearly known her means of fighting people in the palace, and if Jinlan Hall had asked Dongfang Hengqing to invade Mei Ziyan in order to achieve his goal, he would really think that this marriage was indeed an irreversible matter deliberately arranged by the emperor.
She's too smart to get what she can't get, so she retreats and retreats to the next best. The emperor's favor is too empty, and it is too difficult for the Shen family's power to rise, so it is better to find a stable backer to keep the family safe.
In the eyes of Emperor Xuancheng, he can only tolerate the splendid rivers and mountains, and there is no single woman.
He could vaguely guess the relationship between King Shou and Emperor Xuancheng, and he could also guess that Mu Yao should have been educated and warned from a young age that the people in the Mu family should not be amorous.
Mianyuan's loss has a lot to do with King Shou's amorous mistakes.
He reached out and brushed the scar on her face and asked, "Pierced with a hairpin?"
Her gaze dodged, "Hmm." ”
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Will you hate me?"
"No, it won't. He looked at her, his eyes were like water, clear and transparent, "Since you have chosen to leave the palace, I will send you back to Shangshu Mansion in another name, or find a good family for you, so that you can live a peaceful and happy life." ”
"I don't want it!" she trembled and wept: "You just dislike me at all, I don't mind who you marry as a concubine, I can also do without this side concubine, but you can't abandon me! Mu Cheng, you want to force me to death, don't you?"
Mu Cheng frowned, and she said again: "What about a man's three wives and four concubines? Now not only do you not love me, but you don't even want to take me in with a trace of mercy?"
"There has always been only one hostess of the Suide Palace. He said, looking at the pomegranate tree, "I won't take a concubine." ”
"Why? Is it because of her......" Her gaze turned hatefully to the light of the small building.
"Do you know why she, unlike you, won't allow me to take a concubine?" he said, smiling at the yellowish curtains in the distance, "because she loves me." And I, I hope I deserve her. ”
Shen Bili left dejectedly.
Two days later, when Mei Ziyan found Xiao Jinqing in the Furong tent, he was laughing and drinking with two beauties in a private room, and the pipa girl opposite was playing the pipa song "Autumn Moon on the Han River". He opened his robe, waved his hand at the pipa girl, and said:
"Change the song, it's miserable, who will be in a good mood when you listen to it?!"
So the pipa girl turned to play the song "Saiwai Yunsheng" again, accompanied by a soft chant:
"While the people are not noisy now, I can only hear the sound of hooves
I want to sigh out of my heart with my skin-cutting nails
My lute
I don't dare to look at the sunset and the geese fly under the twilight clouds
Can't convey a word to me to the people outside the smoke......"
As soon as the wine glass in Xiao Jinqing's hand was handed to his lips, he paused, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, put the glass to the lips of the beauty beside him, and fed her to drink it with a grin. The beauty's face was as red as drunk, and she half-pushed and half-pushed, and said:
"I'm going to die, I'm always drinking from people. ”
As soon as the word "death" came out, the smile on Xiao Jinqing's face faded suddenly, his hand touched the neck of the beauty's white jade, slowly increased his strength, and said:
"You say, do people have souls when they die?"
The beauty's face was shocked, and the beauty on the other side hurriedly flattered and said:
"That's naturally there, Xiao Gongzi, my sister is young and ignorant, and she annoyed Xiao Gongzi between words, and please don't blame Xiao Gongzi. ”
His hand slowly let go, and he turned his head to look at her very seriously, his eyes were full of wine, "Then you say, why didn't she come to me, huh?"
The beauty was startled by his attentive look, and just as she didn't know how to answer, Xiao Jinqing tilted her body and fell asleep in her arms.
It didn't take long for him to be splashed with a bucket of water, and he woke up suddenly, and the two beauties screamed, and saw a plain and black-haired woman standing in front of him, with a cold face, thinking that someone from Xiao Jinqing had come to find bad luck, and hurriedly left.
Xiao Jinqing pulled his wet clothes and looked up at her nonchalantly:
"What are you doing? Do I know you well?"
"I'm sorry. She walked up to him, lowered her head and said, "Don't abuse yourself like this, the wrong person is me, Suzaku is because I ......"
"Don't mention her name!" Xiao Jinqing interrupted her, "Who said that I was abusing myself, I was merry and happy, didn't you see? It doesn't matter, if there is a soul, she will see it, and she will know that I Xiao Jinqing is not without her, I can't live without her!"
"I ......"
"You're trying to say that she died because of you? So tell me, who killed her?"
"Yes...... Dumb Slave ......"
I don't want to admit it, this is also a fact, today's Helian Yue, the dumb slave of the past.
"Very good!" Xiao Jinqing sneered: "Then Mei Ziyan, why don't you die? Should I be sad and cry for her? You have to find out that the abandoned person is me! I have persuaded her so many times to resign from the position of Tingfeng Tower, I have said that I will take her away from Tiandu to see the beautiful scenery of famous mountains and rivers, and I have told her thousands of times that her life can only be promised to me alone...... But what about her, despite my persuasion, she wanted to follow Mu Cheng to Xirong to find you, and even paid for her life for you without hesitation!"
"Xiao Jinqing," she took a deep breath, tears rolling in her eyes, took out the green jade ring and handed it to him, "she asked me to pass it on to you." I don't know what to say to you other than I'm sorry. But I can't die, I promised her, I want to live...... She smiled when she left, and forbade me to cry, and I will never shed another tear for her now, and if you hate me......, hate me! I don't care......" She turned around and closed her eyes to keep the tears from flowing, and strode away, only to bump into a body standing in the doorway.
Sima Suisheng stretched out his hand to grab her, but she passed him as if she hadn't seen him and left the hibiscus tent.
He could hear the conversation just now, clearly outside the door.
Originally, he was worried about her, so he came out behind her to take a look, but the scene just now reminded him of Lian Ya's death in childbirth, and when he was heartbroken, he heard the doctor say:
"Mrs. Zun's body with such a disability should not be pregnant, and even if she is pregnant, she should take it off to protect her life. Carrying a baby for ten months and then giving birth is tantamount to suicide by neck......"
At that time, I was a thunderbolt from the blue, and I knew that Mei Ziyan had been hiding her Lianya's condition, so she slapped her angrily and scolded bitterly:
"Unexpectedly, you did everything possible to kill her!"
