showdown

A quiet room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The charcoal fire in the gilded dragon auspicious cloud brazier built in the center of the hall is thick, and the familiar incense of sunken wood fills the Taiji Hall as expected.

Xianyue took a light breath, then pursed her lips and slowly walked to the yellow rosewood table carved with dragon patterns in Lonely Zexiu.

"Your Majesty, long time no see. ”

Lonely Zexiu was dressed in a purple silver silk moire brocade robe, and in the bright long lamp in the hall, he was even more tall and handsome. I saw him slowly put down the ochre fold in his hand, then raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and looked at Xianyue who had changed into a complicated palace dress in front of him with a tired look.

"What's the matter?"

"I guess you won't know about Ruan Jinxi's affair with Prince Zhifeng in the past. ”

The crescent moon outside the window is bright, and the dark fragrance lingers in the hall. Lonely Zexiu suddenly looked back at the beautiful woman behind him, and in an instant, his eyes met, and the years seemed to pass like flowing water, instantly penetrating the slow time.

"Well, so what?"

"Let Ruan Jinxi go," Xianyue walked to the front of the desk, her delicate jade hand touching the corner of the intricately patterned table. "You know, she wasn't supposed to belong here. It's not un......fortunate to have been imprisoned by Cold Silence City for all these years."

Lonely Ze Xiu was stunned for a moment, and seemed to chuckle out a little unexpectedly, "Why should I agree?"

"Why?" Xianyue also seemed to feel a little funny, and then slowly lowered a pair of beautiful eyes, "First, Ruan Jinxi is Yue Zhaoyuan's own sister, and now that you are so fond of Yue Zhaoyuan, it is naturally not difficult to give her a face; For me, even a drop of water is not an exaggeration. ”

"Your memory has always been so good...... "Shan Zexiu calmly retracted his gaze, as if he was not moved in the slightest, but turned around lightly and said, "But she is still the noble concubine of Shoukang Palace, and she is also the symbol of power of the Ruan clan gate valve now." If they act so hastily, they will inevitably become suspicious and cause trouble. ”

"A symbol of power?" Xianyue smiled and said, "As long as you want, you can also put your Yue Zhaoyuan in that position." ”

Lonely Zexiu's figure Xiao Xiao was cold, "Even if it's the position of the middle palace?"

Xianyue didn't seem to smile, and didn't answer for a while, but looked at the pair of white jade bracelets like mutton fat that Lin Zexiu put on her hand on the day of the wedding, and her fingertips warmed her face when she touched it.

"When I first met Nguyen Jinxi, she was eight years old. I remember that it was the Flower God Festival, and my brother secretly took the new kidney bean sachet that my mother had made for me and gave it to Ruan Jinyi, I was very sad, but I didn't know what to say. At that time, Ruan Jinxi saw it and gave me her new sachet that was much more beautiful than my original one. At that time, I felt that this sister of the Ruan family, whom everyone praised, was not only beautiful, but also had such a good heart. No one would have expected that she, who has always had the most gentle temper, would run away from home at the age of fifteen in order to elope with her sweetheart...... It's not impossible for you and me to imagine that she hasn't had a good life over the years, and if I were her, it would probably be difficult to survive to this day. However, now that Ruan Jinxi's fate is completely in your hands, why can't you help her? She is only twenty-two years old, and she can start her life all over again, why don't you let her live a good life again?"

Xianyue didn't know why she was talking about Jinxi clearly, and she gradually painted her bleak figure in her heart. She pretended to turn around casually, worried that Shan Zexiu would see her strangeness, even if it was the slightest bit.

"Live well again...... "If you can, do you want to live again?"

His Majesty was really smiling and generous when he asked this. ”

Silence Xiu's eyes were pitch black, as if he didn't want to say any more, "It's late at night, you go back." ”

"Ze Xiu, the old king of Zhifeng has been in poor health in recent years, and the internal affairs of Zhifeng have also been turbulent in recent years. Although Feng Yunting is not a grandson or the eldest son, in recent years, he has been quite popular in the court due to the unexpected death of the prince of the Burning Phoenix King, and has acted as the superintendent of the country not long ago. You are not unaware that in the past three to five years, he is likely to become the new king of the scorching phoenix north of the Mohe River. In recent years, the heavens have not blessed the empire, and the empire has suffered natural disasters, although it has not shaken the country's foundation, but in the end, it is also a secret injury. In the past three or two years, the wind has been unexpectedly even, and the harvest has increased greatly. Zexiu, there is no one who is not greedy, and no one wants to be willing to be subordinate forever...... How do you know that they will continue to submit to the empire and not have two minds after they become richer, and that there will really be no more wars on the borders that have been peaceful for decades?"

The candle flame in the hall is still as bright as a torch, but in a trance, there seems to be some dim light and shadow shrouded in it, containing a little obscure and dangerous atmosphere. Lonely Ze's eyes were as deep as a cold lake, and Fang Cai's slight tiredness had long been exhausted, but he looked at Xianyue who was not timid in front of him with a cold expression.

Xianyue used to be afraid that he and the Silent Monk would come to this day, but now, she had to face all this in front of her. After taking a deep breath, her fists hidden in her sleeves were quietly clenched, and she slowly spoke, "I have also heard about the things that have been written in the past and the future, and now I naturally understand that you do not belong to me in this position, and I don't want you to be embarrassed. The family is single-minded, and your future events will naturally come true. ”

Lonely Ze Xiu finally looked at Xianyue a little unexpectedly, but he didn't want her expression to be gentle, just like the Chu Chu appearance with autumn water in his eyes when he looked at him in the past.

A voice as calm as water came from his side again, "Even if it counts as our previous reward for her, okay?"

Shu Shan Ze did not respond for a while.

Xianyue was not in a hurry, just stared at the silent Zexiu in front of her like that, she didn't know how long it had been since she had seen him like this and this, and there must be only a handful of opportunities like this in the future......

In this case, he finally made a profit. The phoenix didn't talk about it in detail, and he was able to canonize Ruan Jinyi as the queen in the near future, but it was not in vain that he fought against the ministers of the court for a long time.

Lonely Ze Xiuliang looked back at Xianyue with a calm face for a long time, and finally replied in a deep voice, "Okay." ”

Xianyue's faintly hanging heart finally fell heavily, but for a while, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

Stepping over the heavy railing and hanging, at the moment when the inner servant respectfully closed the door of the Wuzhang Palace, Xianyue's legs suddenly became weak for no reason, but fortunately, Yue Lan, who was guarding outside the palace gate, was quick in her eyes, and hurriedly leaned over to support her who was crumbling.

Xi Lan exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xianyue's cold hands, "Miss, are you okay?"

Reflecting the lanterns of the Eternal Life Palace stretching in the Ming Corridor, although it is a very beautiful face, it has a pale that cannot be hidden. Facing Xianyue, who was speechless, Xilan and Yuelan looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say much, so they could only slowly help them to the front of the sedan chair.

Xianyue's eyes were sour, but no tears fell. When she was helped to the Luan car, she finally opened her mouth and said to Liu Zhen, who was waiting outside the copper car, "Don't go back to the palace first, go to Yunqin Zhai." ”

The silk and bamboo in Yunqin Zhai are cold, and they are no longer as prosperous as they were back then.

"Don't follow, let me go alone. ”

The moon is as cool as water, and the stars are bright.

The tip of the white fox brocade sable that Xianyue wore swept the fine dust on the ground, kicking up imperceptible fine dust, and she lifted the heavy skirt of the brocade and walked forward step by step with a slight slowness. Obviously, she has done as she wants, and she is indeed happy for Jinxi, but why is she so uncomfortable in her heart......

She was annoyed by her fragility at the moment, but she couldn't contain it. It seems that at that moment just now, at the moment when Lonely Ze Xiu promised her, something that had been clenched in his hand completely passed in the palm of his hand, like a white cloud and a dog, and he never looked back.

The wife who will go down in history with him thousands of years later is someone else after all.

Xianyue really can't understand why the relationship between each other, who once thought that they could accompany each other even if they were in the palace, has fallen to this day? Mutual suspicion, defense, and even coercion, even if you say a word, you have to think so hard!

Heaven was kind to her, and he asked Lonely Zexiu to do everything to take her out of the fire and water, but God was also thin on her, and completely pulled her out of her short dream into the ice cave......

It must be false to say that there is no unwillingness. In the past, Emperor Wu was his grandmother, Empress Mingyu, and he was favored by his aunt Mingyu, just like abolishing the harem. Xianyue didn't think that Lonely Zexiu would treat her like this, but at least it wasn't like that now......

Maybe she didn't have it in the first place, but she would be much better off than she is now.

"Sister, why are you here?"

The familiar clear and tactful voice sounded not far from his side, and Xianyue looked back as if in disbelief, not wanting to really meet Shuyun here. I saw Shuyun holding the pear wood zither covered by a mantle, wearing a bright hibiscus color Fuliu palace dress, elegant and slender. A black and soft hair hangs down on the soft waist, a green silk ribbon with a chic flying cloud bun, and a delicate and transparent jade beads still hanging on the neck, which is bright and shiny, and it is impossible to force the eye.

"Sister, I ......"

As soon as the words came out, Xianyue was shocked to realize that her throat was swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse.

The unicorn octagonal light gauze palace lamp under the eaves swayed slightly with the wind, Wang Zhixianyue's eyes were red, and her slender figure trembled like a frightened little animal, Shuyun hurriedly put down the zither in his hand, and took a few steps down the blue jade stone steps and said distressedly, "Sister, what grievances have you suffered?" Tell my sister quickly, my sister will help you get angry!"

"I just came out of the Taiji Palace," Xianyue paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to meet Shuyun's concerned gaze, "It won't be long before Ruan Jinyi is about to be sealed." ”

Shuyun Huahua's face was pale, and he exclaimed, still looking incredulous.

"What, Lonely Zexiu really doesn't care about you? This is really unbelievable, and that Ruan Jinyi was born as a concubine, and the name of this palace is not good, I don't believe that the old ministers in the court can mess around with him!"

Xianyue's face was calm, as if she didn't care anymore, and said, "Sister, I promised him, and the Nalan family and the Mu family will have no objection to this in the future." ”

Hearing this, Shuyun was stunned, and he looked incredulous. It took a long time for her to come to her senses, and then she sighed heavily. is as talented as Xianyue, and now that he has made such a decision, there is a reason why it is difficult to explain.

"Sister, I couldn't bear to ask you before, you were so in love and inseparable before, he was even willing to kneel for you for three days without sleep. But now even I, an outsider, really can't understand all this, what the hell is wrong with you......"

Since becoming friends with Shuyun, in the past few months, Xianyue is not unaware of Shuyun's sincere care for herself, and she can also feel the pure sincerity in Shuyun's temperament.

"I don't know, sister, I think I'm stupid, I really don't know anything. Since my mother's death, he has had a disagreement with me for no reason, and now he doesn't even want to say more. All kinds of past things passed like flowing water, and when she said this, Xianyue's chest tightened, and finally she raised her hand to hold her face lightly, and then choked up and said, "At first, he was a new favorite, I wanted to believe him, I always thought about him or some unspeakable hardship, but I didn't think that in the end, he actually took away my brother's unspoken wife." Maybe since then it has been my wishful thinking, he is already the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the world is in his hands, what can he really hide?"

"Sister, don't feel bad. It's all my fault, the words you just asked made you sad. The past has made them all pass, and in the future, no matter who is the lord of this cold and lonely city, we will all live together well. I don't believe that with me for a day, who can really give us a little grievance?"

Shuyun took a step forward, hugged Xianyue with pear blossoms and rain and autumn branches of Zen dew distressedly, and raised his hand to caress the soft top of her soft hair with a faint fragrance.

Xianyue's grievances at the moment, she thought that she had probably felt it a little bit back then.

But Xianyue is different from herself, how can the relationship between Su Zexiu and her in the past, as if she is the only one in the world, be fake? Although Shuyun has never said it in his mouth, he is faintly sure in his heart that the unresolved misunderstanding between the two of them at this moment will eventually keep the clouds open, and they will also rebuild the old friendship one day.

To this day, she is neither jealous nor envious, and even sincerely hopes that this day will come sooner.

After all, in this lonely and bleak world, these are the two people who have rarely given themselves warmth.

It's just that the good times of my life will never be there again after all......
