Chapter 13: The Imperial Dynasty is Stormy
When you achieve great military achievements, you will take the bait with the 'return of the true emperor', hibernate against the party, and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”
The first emperor lowered his eyes and looked at him, "It's just that in this way, you need to abandon everything, if I arrange it like this, will you resent me?"
At that time, although Dongtong was stubborn, he also realized the seriousness.
Abandon the prosperity of the capital, the comfort of the royal family, abandon the blood relatives and her... But if with his modest strength, he can protect his mother and brother for his father, what is there to hesitate about!
Dong Tong bowed, his slightly red eyes were extremely firm: "The son will live up to his father's trust!"
The first emperor said: "As for Ning'er, you make him suspicious of you and hate you, if he still doesn't kill you in the end, you will give him this true edict." ”
The virtual reality is unfathomable, as deep as the sea, and it is the heart of the emperor. According to Dongtong, Dongning found the edict of succession under the bougainvillea tree of the first emperor and the empress dowager.
Yellow silk cloth and cinnabar ink, his name is clearly written. When the Queen Mother learned about it, she cried for three days and three nights, and her throat was ruined.
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn, and Dongtong, who had been recuperating for several days, entered the palace to face the saint according to the order.
He accompanied Dong Ning in the imperial study for a long time, and Dong Ning said: "I have wronged you and owed you, I want to pay you back on behalf of my father, as long as you say it, as long as I have it." Dong Tong was about to speak, but Dong Ning interrupted him again: "Of course, Concubine Rong can't." ”
Dong Tong was short of breath: "Brother Huang, you know that the person I want is only her from beginning to end." ”
Speaking of her, Dong Tong was also stunned. For several days, there was no news of Yi Yanshan, and I didn't see her when I entered the palace.
Dong Ning's eyes were dark. He re-wrote, and only said after a long time: "A few days ago, the foreign side took advantage of the internal strife to attack, and I am glad that there are still your soldiers and horses to call, but you are highly poisonous, she."
I'll take the wound and go into battle for you...."
A drop of cinnabar ink drips thickly, blood-like scarlet, the arrow is in the center of the lungs, she is sacrificing her life for the country.
Dongtong's body shook violently, like being struck by lightning!
He heard his own voice crying and laughing: "Brother Huang, don't fool me." ”
"I hope I'm fooling you, too!"
Then in his field of vision was Dong Ning's hand, her blood-stained hand armor, "I am willing to compensate you for everything, but this can no longer be done." ”
Dong Tong rode his horse and galloped, breaking into the commander's mansion regardless of obstacles. Every step was like a thousand pounds, and I stumbled into the inner house, but I didn't see the mourning hall or the coffin.
He looked around stiffly, and caught a woman's figure in the backlight in the corner of the room.
She also saw him, frowned and walked quickly: "What happened, why did you cry like this?"
Who is it if it's not Yi Yanshan? Dong Tong was dumbfounded, from extremely sad to extremely happy, panicked in his heart, and only when he reacted did he realize that he was still deceived.
Lai Yi Yan Shan obviously guessed: "The internal strife and external troubles have just subsided, and Your Majesty has become playful again."
No wonder he made a pact with me that as long as I hand over my armor and shut myself up, he would give me another grace. "What grace?"
Yi Yanshan looked straight at him, not surprised or pleased, but the reddish ears betrayed her.
"Allow me to marry the good king. ”
The moment the words fell, they were crossed by the opposite person, and the person stretched out his arms and hugged him.
Dongtong's surging and impatient heartbeat quietly soothed Yi Yanshan, and she quietly closed her eyes on the side of his neck, savoring all the regrets of the old things of youth, all melted in this embrace, half sweet and sour.
When I went out to play that day, I passed by a small pawnshop and found that the entrance was so full of people that it almost blocked the street. I have always liked to join in the fun, and when I squeezed to the front to look, it turned out that the government and the pawnshop owner colluded to oppress the people.
I couldn't help but complain about injustice, and there was silence around me, so my complaint was particularly harsh. Immediately, two big men came out of the pawnshop, and they came up to catch my hands and feet, and I was so anxious that I hurriedly retreated backwards. Seeing their hands stretched out, a folding fan happened to stop them.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice of the prince like flowing water: "The Son of Heaven has just issued a decree strictly prohibiting oppression, and today you will bully people in broad daylight, and you will hurt a girl, are you not afraid that I will tell the saint?"
Before I could turn sideways to look, I saw the big man snort: "I want to see how you met the emperor!"
Immediately afterward, a sack came down from my head, and my vision was completely obscured. In a daze, I smelled something again, and slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the sound of whips, and suddenly the sound of the wind crossed my ears.
I opened my eyes wide in confusion, but I saw a pair of hands gripping the leather whip fiercely: "This is the rule in your prison?
Then something fell over me, and I heard another voice say, "Don't expect to go out if you talk more!"
I didn't react until they left, and hurriedly pushed the boy away, seeing that there were two bloody marks on his slender and beautiful fingers, and frowned, "Are you okay?"
He only wore a purple robe, and even in such an embarrassing situation, his hair was still neatly tied. He just leaned against the wall, inexplicably but overflowing with a bit of nobility and calmness, as if he was not afraid at all: "It's okay." ”
I was caught in my eyes by this scene, and when I saw his hideous wound, my heart suddenly tightened, and I was a little distressed: "My father is the current Taiwei Shen, don't worry, I will definitely find out this case in the future!"
"It turned out to be the youngest daughter of the Shen family!" He stroked his clothes, lowered his eyes and smiled, "King Zhou You smiled for the beauty of the princes, I paid a few flesh wounds for the girl's concerned eyes, why worry about it." ”
He looked so good-looking, and I was stunned for a moment before I realized from this smile.
We talked all night, and he told me that his name was Xiao Han, and I also replied to him by my single name.
I have known a lot of noble sons in the palace since I was a child, but I rarely see a man who talks so extraordinary, but is magnificent.
My father used to say that my vision was too high, and I was afraid that it would be rare to find a sweetheart to marry in the future. However, it was only now that I belatedly realized the excitement here.
We waited until the next morning, but we didn't wait to come and save our family.
I pulled him in and escaped through the skylight, but as soon as we landed, we were spotted by the officers and soldiers on patrol. When they surrounded us, I subconsciously protected Xiao Han behind me, he looked so weak, I couldn't let them hurt him.
The neighing of the horse sounded at the right time, it was his carriage and horse, the horse's hooves broke through the dust and swept over, Xiao Han quickly turned over the horse when the officers and soldiers turned back, and handed me his hand: "Quick!"
At that moment, even though I knew that I had the Shen family as a backer, even if I didn't flee with him, I could protect myself, but I was like a demon, I didn't know what the future would be, but I still trusted and firmly stretched out my hand and held his hand.
I didn't expect that we would break straight into the palace gate, I didn't expect the maid on the side to respectfully greet us, and I didn't expect the sound of horses' hooves to stop at the entrance of the Zhaoyang Palace, where the emperor was located.
He rolled over and dismounted, and I grabbed the reins, gritted my teeth, and turned and ran away as fast as I could.
I thought he was a dragon and a phoenix among people, but I didn't know that when he gave an order, even if it was a dragon and phoenix among people, he had to kneel down and say goodbye.
More than a month later, I met Xiao Han again, and he did not issue an edict, but personally came to the door to find me.
He is not called Xiao Han, but when the literati and scholars write poems, they always think of some names to settle the money, and it turns out that the mythical Xiao Gongzi is actually the Ninety-Five.
I stood up to greet me, but he stopped me, and the scent of sandalwood wafted from the folding fan beside me. I was stunned and looked up at him, and he smiled pleasantly: "I want to go to the market in the next place, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to walk with Ah Nian?"
Ah Nian, he actually called me Ah Nian, my heart moved, and a subtle joy spread to my heart.
The market is so lively, I heard that the biennial concubine selection ceremony is about to begin, and everyone is excited to stuff their daughters into the bustling and bleak palace.
I muttered: "Actually, there is nothing good about entering the palace, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and when the favor will be derived and when it will be destroyed, it is all in the king's thoughts, and every step is like dancing on the blade." ”
I was afraid of entering the palace, and it was precisely because of this that when I knew that he was the Son of Heaven that day, I would subconsciously choose to escape because of panic. He curled the corners of his lips as if he didn't care: "Then Ah Nian, do you want to try?"
I was dazed and said, "What to try?"
"After trying to enter the palace, there will be thousands of rain and dew, and thousands of butterflies will only stop beside you. ”
The smile in his eyes was long, and it seemed that his eyes could look into my eyes, and before I could accept the holy grace, I heard a sharp cry from the sky: "Over there, catch them!" I caught a glimpse of the jailers, and I didn't expect them to be chasing us after so long after we had escaped.
I subconsciously pulled Xiao Han back: "Run!" Completely forgetting that we don't need to dodge.
The last guards to arrive took the jailers down with them. I was about to bow in gratitude, but he held me up: "Don't salute, Ah Nian, it's your prerogative." ”
I was stunned, we had only seen each other for a few short times, and I was still at the stage of liking him, and he was able to tell me lightly that I didn't have to salute.
"Why me?" I couldn't help but ask him when we parted.
He chuckled, his eyes full of Shaoguang: "I haven't met such a person yet, facing danger, but standing in front of me alone."
Seven days later, the concubine selection ceremony was canceled.
There was chaos in the court for a while, and the minister risked his life to admonish, a country cannot be favored by a concubine!
However, he just didn't realize it, the gold and silver grate, the luminous jewelry, the welcoming carriage and horses, the noisy drums, and the ten miles of red makeup covered my way to the palace.
I looked at the emerald fireworks that exploded in the sky, which were extremely rare and had been transported from the West. The fireworks spread out in the sky one by one, and seemed to fall into the lights of thousands of homes, and seemed to float to the end of the sky.
Xiao Han did not betray his promise, he really favored me alone, and Dehao-Lu promoted me to Zhaoyi. Now that I think about it, the rumors of the "demon girl" probably started at that time.
At the end of the year, the war was raging, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the barbarians attacked. I thought it was just a small war, and it would be good to calm down, but this time the army lost one after another, and it was almost impossible to hold on.
Xiao Han received the secret report, changed his clothes and went overnight, but he didn't take me.
I almost begged: "But I want to accompany you, I will take good care of myself, and the Shen family also has a medical center, I have learned a little since I was a child." If it doesn't work well, my grandson will also memorize the art of war, and I can help you no matter what!"
He stared at me for a while before he said, "It's not that I don't want to take you, but I'm afraid that you will be hurt." Ah Nian, you are very important, even if you go there, don't wronged yourself for me. "He is not a man who likes to say these things, and he would not be like this if he were not in love at this moment. I understood his concern and dropped a kiss between his eyebrows: "I know. ”
As soon as Xiao Han left, his morale was greatly boosted, and the army turned into an attack. At this critical juncture, he contracted a cold due to excessive fatigue.
This wind chill was also strangely tight, and after he contracted it, most of the soldiers had the same symptoms overnight, and they couldn't go into battle with guns.
I sent a letter home to the Chinese medicine hall for help, but a day later, I saw my sister Shen Wan rushing to the house.
She said she was worried about me and took the opportunity to meet me.
I was very moved in my heart, she was a concubine, and I always prevented my subordinates from bullying her on weekdays, and I also gave her the money village and the medical hall to take care of, treating her as a sister
I didn't have time to say more, the enemy was already approaching, but we had no generals available, so I gritted my teeth and got on my horse.
I've been proud since I was a child, and no one looks down on me. In my spare time, I read books, wrote poetry, learned piano, and became popular, and I didn't even put down practicing martial arts.
But the moment I turned over and got on the horse, I realized that love is really so beautiful, so beautiful that you love him, and even the world that loves him, you don't want this world to have a piece of tiles, because he will frown.
It turns out that unconsciously, I have fallen in love with him, and even if I will suffer from flesh and skin, I am also willing to eat.
On the battlefield, I was accidentally caught by the enemy, and they locked me in a cage and beat me for a few days without eating or drinking. I almost died there, and I almost had to write a suicide note to Xiao Han, but fortunately, my country's fine work was in the enemy camp, and he secretly let me out.
I dragged my broken body to the palace, and I was relieved to see him lying on the collapse safely, but he didn't feel sorry for me, but his eyes lit up: "Kneel." ”
"What?" I have not yet taken off my armor, and my clothes are stained with blood, and now he says that he wants me to kneel! Why should he want me to kneel under the sword of the barbarians, when the sword is held against my neck, and the heat gushes out, and I have suffered such a sin?
I threw my sword to the ground and laughed, "Don't kneel." He seemed to be annoyed by me, covered his lips and coughed twice. I was a little distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting me to kneel, as long as he can be well.
However, in front of everyone, he avoided my hand as usual, and said lightly: "Take Shen Zhaoyi back to the palace." ”
I avoided the hands of the palace people and asked him: "Why do I want to go back to the palace?" Xiao Han, I Shen Nian has never hurt myself for a person since I was a child, and this time I couldn't sleep at night when I led the troops for you, and I was almost going to die, what do you mean by this?"
"If you die in battle this time, how can I explain to the world?"
The next day, while I was still asleep, I was woken up by a maid who said that the mage had come. Before I could react, a crowd rushed in and tied my hands and feet.
"What are you doing here? What about the emperor? Did he allow you to come?" I yelled, "I'm a dignified Zhaoyi, and I order you to stop!"
"I'm sorry Shen Zhaoyi, we received a secret report that you have demonic energy in your body, and please cooperate with us. ”
I felt a pricking in the hand and angrily scolded, "Are you still going to die?"
But the next second I was completely stunned, because my head hurt uncontrollably as the mage chanted the mantra.
What's going on?
Soon Xiao Han came, the tip of his nose was still sweating, he was also stunned when he saw this situation, but he still said: "Let go of Shen Zhaoyi for me!
The minister at the head said: "The country has been stable before, but after you canceled the concubine selection ceremony for her and favored her alone, the barbarians began to move; It was also after you brought her to the barracks that the soldiers were infected with the cold. Today's minister has proved that Shen Zhaoyi is indeed a demon! If you can't give up your love, the minister will not force you to abolish the demon girl, but only ask you to set up a goddess. ”
He stood there for a long time, shaking his head, but he still had to give in and say, "You let her go first... Yu Shen Wan, concubine. Satisfied? Then it's gone. ’
After everyone left, only Xiao Han kept standing in front of the door, looking at me indistinctly. I felt aggrieved, and tears welled up: "You believe me, I really don't know why I... Probably the first .....
He grabbed me and stroked my hair: "I Feng Shen Wan has no other thoughts, I just want them to stop a little bit, I have wronged you." I yelled at you yesterday because I was so angry, and you know how worried I was when I heard that you had been locked up by the enemy for so long that you almost couldn't get out?"
With his comfort, I was relieved: "Right.....
He looked at me and smiled, his eyes full of pampering: "What's wrong with the wound? ”
I obediently lay down and let him clean my wounds. I couldn't hold back for a while, but I still said, "I'm really not a demon!" Got it, they should have put their hands together to fool me, but you don't need to take it personally. He brushed my earlobe and neck, "Besides, if the girl I like is a demon, she is also a fox with a deep path, and she is hidden so deep that people can't see it." ”
I turned around and bared my teeth: "If I am a monster, I will eat you first, and the meat of the Son of Heaven should be delicious." ”
The war ended in a month later, and I was going to return to the city on the second day, and I wanted to talk to my sister about the canonization, and I remember that she had a sweetheart, and she should not want to enter the palace.
But that night, with the dark moonlight, I stood at the door and heard a conversation inside the door: "When I enter the palace in the future, we must be cautious in our actions." It's rumored that she's a witch, and you've sealed the mouths of those subordinates, right?
I stood in the doorway, and I felt my blood rushing to my heart. I pushed the door open, knowing that I didn't need to guess a dumb riddle with her, so I simply got straight to the point: "Why?
"Yes, I've always been your sister. ”
She blinked lightly with her water-cut eyes, raised her hand and touched her bun, "So I do all the hard and tiring things, you are only responsible for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and laughing everywhere; Therefore, everyone knows the two daughters of the Shen family, but they only know Shen Nian Lingxiu; That's why Song Lang, whom I love, told me a few days ago that he likes you! Shen Nian, why do you say this?'
I couldn't imagine that my sister, who was peaceful and docile in the past, was like this when she played scheming, and in the end she could only smile bitterly: "I didn't expect you to think of me like this in secret." ”
She brushed her slender jade fingers on the tea cup, and smiled innocently under the candlelight: "I didn't like to fight with you before, but after leaving Song Lang, I figured it out, I want to take back everything you snatched from me." I don't blame fate, I just hate you. ”
Before leaving, I finally said: "Shen Wan, I will call you sister one last time, we will have no sisterly love in the future, we only hope to cherish each other." ”
"Good.
I got along with Shen Wan safely that month, but Xiao Han began to linger in her bedroom, and at first he would explain to me just to stabilize the people's hearts, but in recent days, he has stopped explaining.
That's the only pet. Although he still spoils me more, it is no longer as good as before, and there are whispers outside the stock: "At the hunting banquet tomorrow, Concubine Shen will arrange for the guest to be made so that the emperor will trust and love her, you must protect the emperor well, even if she is injured, it doesn't hurt, understand?"
The next second, the door of the temple was pushed open, and when the maidservant saw that it was me, her face was flustered, and she hurriedly closed the door and left. I was left alone in pairs, frowning.
On the second day of the hunting feast, I sat in the seat closest to Xiao Han, and since he had not yet set up, the closest seat next to him had always been reserved for me, which gave me some comfort. The banquet has been peaceful, which makes me suspect that yesterday was a hallucination.
But just as we were about to leave, a sudden gust of wind blew away the fruit on the table. A sharp sword broke through the air and stabbed straight at Xiao Han.
Some people were hurriedly shouting "help", and some people screamed repeatedly, but I looked at Shen Wan indifferently, she really jumped as planned, and blocked the sword for Xiao Han.
There is no imperial doctor in the wild, the only people who know how to heal are me and Shen Wan, Xiao Han asked me to take her pulse, I just looked at her coldly and leaned on his arms, her face was pale, and the blood in her chest was pouring out, and she clearly looked like she was about to die.
If I hadn't heard the news yesterday, I'm afraid I would have been confused by her at this moment.
She really sacrificed everything for the sake of pampering, I said leisurely: "It's okay to look at Concubine Shen's appearance, don't make a fuss and ask the doctor." ”
If I had any sanity, I should have played with her, but I was already dizzy. In exchange for Xiao Han's scolding: "Shen Nian, what are you talking about?"
The first time he called my name like this, I was even more annoyed, and I said without hesitation: "It looks like the injury is quite serious, but the sword is pierced below the chest, the emperor can rest assured, he can't die." ”
"Shen Nian!" He was so angry with me that he said, "Shut up!"
"Can't you see it? This is clearly premeditated!"
"That's better than you sitting next to me and watching from the wall! you go back to the palace for me, I don't want to see you again!"
In the flash of light, I see. What was the leak last night, it was clearly said to me, and I will debunk it today! In this way, she can not only make my status in Xiao Han's heart plummet, but also get Xiao Han's care.
When I was invited back to the palace by the guards, I still couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shen Wan, you see that I am so smart, I still want to lose to you."
Shen Wan only recuperated after half a month, and as she wished, although Xiao Han also cared about me, it was not as good as before.
But how can I be willing, if she really loves him, but she just wants to take away everything that belongs to me! That day, I went to Xiao Han to explain everything clearly, but there was a palace person who spoke first, which seemed to be an extremely important matter: "Your Majesty, the ceremony has been prepared, and the good day can be held." ”
I was so shocked by these words that I couldn't even remember what I was going to say, so I just said in a daze: "Lihou? Is it Shen Wan?"
He nodded, looking unconcerned: "Ah Wan, she is gentle by nature, and she is always bullied, I just hope that she can protect herself in the future."
I shook my head, I don't know why the situation has become like this: "Shen Wan, she doesn't read history books, she doesn't even know how to be a female celebrity, she can only practice medicine, where can she get it..... Her approach was premeditated......
I was talking nonsense, I didn't even know what I was talking about, I didn't covet the queen's position, I was just too cold, she got all Xiao Han's love so easily.
When I first fell in love with him, he didn't make such a commitment to me.
"Why?" After a while, I finally gathered all my strength to ask these three words.
He picked up his thin eyebrows, I didn't pay attention to it before, he actually had such cold and deep eyes.
After adjusting his breathing, he spoke slowly, as if he was saying what Niu Shan wanted to eat: "What why, I don't like scheming women." ”
That passage was full of needles, and every word was heart-wrenching, and finally the heart that I wanted to hold to him completely was torn apart.
I didn't step out of the palace for a long time after the book, until the news came.
"Oh no!
The night tree at the door shook slightly, and the leaves brushed as if singing. Occasionally, strong winds swept in, startling away the tired birds, and blowing up a lot of wind and sand.
The doctor told me that she had died from a quenched hairpin, which had been worn every day and caused the poison to seep into her texture.
I suddenly heard someone say that the hairpin was sent to the palace by the Shen family, and Xiao Han used this as an excuse to say that the Shen family tried to rebel and put them in prison.
Three days later, the Shen family committed suicide.
I still didn't believe the news when it came, how could I believe it?
Why did Shen Wan die suddenly?
Why did Xiao Han suddenly target the Shen family? And how could they ......
I found Xiao Han like crazy and pushed him the bookcase: "Why is this happening? Why is it Shen Wan, why is it the Shen family? Why don't you just kill me?"
But he just stared at me and let the guards lock me into the palace.
I raised my hand and slapped the door like crazy, the beams trembling slightly.
I collapsed to the ground and finally burst into tears.
It's all my fault!
If I hadn't entered the palace, if I hadn't misunderstood that the king's life was eternal, but it was just a pillow of yellow beams, none of this would have happened!
I hate that he is the one who loves me, and in the end he is the one who makes me the most miserable.
I was awakened at night by the billowing smoke, the rushing flames licking and devouring everything, and after the fire, nothing but ashes remained. I banged the door, but to no avail, my voice was hoarse, and my limbs were limp.
It's my turn, Xiao Han's interlocking chess moves, it's finally up to me.
Sister, the Shen family, and finally me.
Such stories are all too common, and kings pave the way for glory with those blood-stained corpses.
You don't even know what's going on, you don't know if those feelings are real or not, but the flames have followed the path and burned you completely. When the fire reached my forehead, I was still not afraid, I just hated. Just when I was disheartened, someone finally broke through the window and took me out of the palace.
I glanced at him with hope, and finally my heart was dead.
The person who came was not Xiao Han. Also, he tried his best to want me to die, how could he come to save me.
With a vague consciousness, I took one last look back before leaving the palace.
This deep palace witnessed the dreams and expectations of my youth, but it also buried my youth and innocence.
After escaping the palace, the man was gone, leaving me alone to change my name and run a small shop, and I lived like that for a year.
A year later, the war resumed, and the prime minister rebelled.
All I know about this is what I hear. My invincible general, this time it was the same, and I won. It's just a pity that he died in this battle.
How?
I have heard that the body of the Holy Dragon has been burned to ashes by the fire, and there is not even a single intact corpse.
It's just that that piece of land mixed with weeds and blood was put into a porcelain bottle and transported back to Chang'an City, and everything in the palace was temporarily taken care of by the regent.
If it weren't for hearing with my own ears that he was dead, if it weren't for the fact that my heart, which had been calm, suddenly turned up in turbulent waves, I wouldn't have realized that I had never been able to let go of him. I held on to the wooden table, and the cramps rushed up, and the knuckles that were the corners of the table were a little white.
When he got up, someone said the last sentence: "The emperor was not buried with succession, but repaired the Mandarin Duck Mausoleum with the deceased Zhaoyi, which is really unusual." ”
I paused, and tears fell uncontrollably.
His encounter with her was accidental and premeditated. He knew that the Shen family's military power and financial power were too large, and he had the intention of rebellion, so he wanted to find a chance to get evidence. That day was just a fight, who knew that he would be locked in prison, and who knew that the person beside him happened to be the little daughter of the Shen family.
He quickly made a plan about when to take her away and make her heartfelt, and when to confess and invite her to ..... Chedu went as he expected, but he didn't expect to be tempted.
It's funny, right, he calculated the timing of the other party's heart, but he couldn't guess his heartbeat.
But that girl, so smart and agile, knows a little about everything, and has to share a little bit of everything for him, with the naivety of a little girl, and the foresight of everyone.
He couldn't help but sink. The Shen family's rebellion was not revealed to Shen Nian, who was in love with him, but used Shen Wan and Ah Nian's separation to send Shen Wan into the palace to get close to him, so that he could buy off several ministers and deal with the Shen family inside and outside.
In order to take down the Shen family, he had to temporarily put aside his feelings for her and run the chess game wholeheartedly.
It's just that he didn't expect that after the Shen family realized that Shen Wan was emotional about him and didn't want to harm him, they directly sent a poisonous hairpin. Unexpectedly, after he pressed the Shen family into prison, Shen Taiwei had the backbone to take all the Shen family to commit suicide by oral poison.
He didn't know how to explain to Ah Nian, but when the prime minister of Han Zhong saw the opportunity to rebel, he was afraid that they would hurt her, so he used fire to create the illusion that she was dead.
Later, in the chaos of the battle, he was covered in bruises. There was no chance of survival, so he said that his last wish was to be buried with her. It's just that after picking up a life by luck, he doesn't know if she can still forgive him.
He stood at the door of the cabin where she lived, raised his hand to buckle the door, and the wooden door squeaked open, and she looked at him for a long time, not daring to make any movement, and her breathing was light. After a long time, she suppressed her crying and said, "Xiao Han... You're back, you're really back!
She threw herself into his arms, a familiar warmth and embrace. He thought to himself that he still had a lot to say to her, and that there were still many misunderstandings between them.
But there are a lot of opportunities, and he still has time to live in the future, so he will tell her slowly.
The mountain where Mulian is located is the most remote and poorest dangerous place in Heavenly Court, the end of the sky. Here all the year round miasma, no grass grows, on the top of the high mountain cliff, there is a bottomless blue lake, the name of the lake locks life. The lake is a thousand feet deep, and a lake monster is imprisoned at the bottom of the pool.
It is said that this lake monster has boundless mana and is ugly, and 10,000 years ago, the four gods of the south, east, west, and northwest combined forces to imprison him here.
Since then, the end of this heaven has become a forbidden place in heaven, and everyone talks about it, and they dare not approach it easily.
But Mulian felt that the world was clumsy, this lake monster Ji Shuyun was obviously a superb beautiful man, except that his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't move on the diamond coral at the bottom of the lake, but he still couldn't stop it, his handsome eyebrows and eyes and a chic and uninhibited smile.
He always said that the people in the heavenly court were all a group of bastards who were hypocritically benevolent and righteous, and when the world was opened, if he hadn't helped Nuwa Niangniang find the Heavenly Stone, there might not be any beings in the Three Realms at this time.
It can be seen that although this guy is eternally young, he is not young.
Ji Shuyun was quite angry that Mu Lian had mistaken the point, and shouted: "Little goblin, you are the most unfortunate at this time, and you should also scold me for a while, the bastard in the heavenly court, or hold your face, and worship me for having such a ability to reach the sky, okay?"
After saying that, he regretted it.
He forgot, Mulian had no heart.
She was a decaying lotus seed that he dug out of the mud when he was bored.
He never thought about what kind of climate she would become, but he just wanted to improve the surrounding environment and make some lotus flowers that were pleasing to the eye. So I gave her a breath of true air, but I didn't expect that she not only bloomed a white and beautiful lotus,
After absorbing the five oils of the end of the sky, he transformed into a graceful, clean, and unworldly Mulian goblin.
Ji Shuyun was so happy, he was trapped here for so many years that he was almost suffocated to death. It's nice to have someone to accompany you now. Of course, this idea only exists when Mulian has just taken shape.
The red sleeves add fragrance, and the beautiful imagination of the Yiren is quickly crushed by reality.
Whether Ji Shuyun was talking about his vigorous past or expressing his resentment against the immortals in the heavenly court, Mu Lian would always ask him some irrelevant questions from an angle that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, so angry that Ji Shuyun almost vomited blood.
She never cared about those wars and massacres, what she cared about was: "I didn't expect Tai Bai Xing to be a lame person? Is the Emperor handsome or not? Erlang God really has three eyes?"
If not, there would be only one person in this huge world, and Ji Shuyun promised not to say a word to her again.
Mu Lian doesn't understand human feelings, she only knows that her life was given by Ji Shuyun, so she is naturally her master. No matter what he asked her to do, she wouldn't refuse. For a stupid person like her, who has nothing but her looks, Ji Shuyun has nothing to let her do.
However, it wasn't until Qilinzi Tianheng had no intention of breaking into the end of the sky and was rescued by Mu Lian that Ji Shuyun's stagnant heart throbbed for the first time. He thought it was hopeless to go out, but he didn't expect that the endless road would allow him to encounter such an excellent opportunity.
The heart of the unicorn has the effect of breaking through the seal and lifting the confinement. If he can get the Qilin Heart, he will be able to regain his freedom. At that time, he will not let go of any of those who fell into the well and hurt him back then.
For a few days, Mulian did not appear at the bottom of the lake. Ji Shuyun was not in a hurry, he knew that Mulian had a good heart and must be taking care of this injured Qilin Immortal.
It wasn't until seven days later that Mu Lian rubbed her hands and said, "I seem to have done something wrong." ”
Ji Shuyun looked at her with a smile: "No." You are his savior, and it is understandable that he will repay it with his body. "You, you know it all?" Mu Lian's eyes widened in surprise.
She saved the unicorn, but it was just her nature, she just found a cave for him to heal himself.
When he was leaving, he actually took her hand and said with burning eyes: "My name is Tianheng, and I am the nephew of the Emperor of Heaven. I have never met a woman as fresh and refined as a girl in my life, clean and pure, and when I go back to the emperor of tomorrow, I will come to marry you with a dowry. ’
She thought she would panic, but she had always been indifferent.
For the first time, she understood why Ji Shuyun said that she had no heart.
It turned out that she couldn't feel joy, anger and sorrow, couldn't feel seven emotions and six desires, and couldn't even feel what it was like to love someone.
Although Ji Shuyun was tied to the bottom of the lake, his divine sense could still sense the dynamics of any corner of the end of the sky. sky
Heng sat on the phoenix, and under the rope of countless cranes, he came to the end of the sky again. This time, he's here to make good on his promise.
When Mu Lian's slender hand was on his palm, he remembered Ji Shuyun's explanation last night: "All this is doomed. If I hadn't created you, you wouldn't have existed. Today is the time for you to repay me. ”
His eyes were full of ambition and **, he stared at her tightly, and asked word by word, "Are you willing to sacrifice everything for me?"
Mulian nodded, she had always wanted to repay him. "I have a dark iron dagger on my waist, which is extremely sharp, and it kills gods and Buddhas when I meet gods. On the night of the wedding, he took out the heart of the unicorn and brought it back. ”
His voice was so cruel and bewitching that it made Mu Lian feel very unfamiliar.
She carefully took out the dagger, put it in her sleeve, and left without looking back.
Sitting in the phoenix, Tianheng took her hand, pointed to the passing mountains, rivers, stars, lakes and seas, and gently told the story that happened in that bizarre world, which was beautiful and magnificent that she had never heard of.
Looking at Tianheng's handsome face, Mu Lian had an indescribable feeling.
He is too different from Ji Shuyun, Ji Shuyun's mouth is full of killing, his heart is full of resentment, and he will never laugh innocently like him. Ji Shuyun's laughter was either a sneer or a mockery, and more often a bitter smile. She used to think that all men in the world were like this, but after meeting Tianheng, it seemed that everything was different.
The door to a whole new world opened to her, and she loved this wonderful world and this wonderful people.
The wedding was beautifully and warmly arranged, and he was afraid that she would not be comfortable in front of everyone, so he only invited three or five friends to witness their important moment.
Her hand was held by him all the time and never let go.
She felt the warmth and firmness transmitted in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but think, did she really want to kill someone who had no grievances with her?
At night, Mu Lian sat alone in the red wedding room, rubbing the dagger in her sleeve.
Tianheng was drunk and lying on the bed, calling her name all the time, making her heart numb. Eventually, she gave up.
