Chapter 400: Epilogue (End of Volume 1)
In the distant palace, a man in black sat upright on a futon, with an unknown magic trick on his fingers, which was rotating rapidly, and beside him was a delicate jade porcelain vase, which contained a small and delicate 'soul of the smiling sky', only to see him watching the movements of the man in black's hands, his brows furrowed nervously.
At this time, the man in black who was sitting gently picked his fingers, and the soul in the bottle quickly drilled into the sea of his consciousness, and then, the originally calm and waveless mind was shocked by the monstrous waves, and the two figures standing on the waves quietly looked at each other.
Xiao Tian knows that this is the last moment of his existence, maybe in the future, maybe even later, his mother and brother will no longer know their existence, and he will forget who he is, forget the Guo Luoluo Mansion where he has lived for more than ten years, and the people under the jurisdiction who he has worked hard to manage for many years, so many beautiful memories, is it really just a dream?
'Hehe' Xiaotian smiled bitterly, his heart was very uncomfortable, he knew that the deity had given him the opportunity to choose, but his mother's soul was in the hands of others, what choice did he have? Quietly closing his eyes, Xiaotian's soul instantly turned into a wisp of smoke, and the next moment, the black-clothed Leng Yan also turned into a thicker wisp of smoke, intertwined and entangled.
On the other plane, in the imperial study of the Qing Dynasty, a young man in a dragon robe with a beard carefully read the excerpt in his hand, and later, he left his own comments on the fold, and then skillfully picked up the next excerpt and continued!
At this time, two young men came into the room, looking at the brother who was working the royal case, their hearts were sour and unbearable, they knew that their second brother must be very uncomfortable in their hearts, but watching him torture himself like this, how could they not feel uncomfortable?
"Second brother, brother, please don't look at it anymore!" A young man looked at his brother who was obviously only in his early forties with a little embarrassment, but at the moment he was full of white hair, and his heart had already been broken.
Hearing that someone was talking to him, the person on the royal case raised his head lightly and looked at him expressionlessly: "Xiao Wu, this is Eniang's last request, if I can't even do this little thing, what face will I have to see her in the future?"
Hearing his brother mention Eniang, his heart was uncomfortable again, ten years, his Eniang died for ten years, especially remember when he saw his Eniang, the indescribable pain pressed him out of breath. Later, he didn't know where his ninth brother and Xiaotian's younger brother were, but he only knew that there were two extra tombs in the garden, as well as the tombstone of his uncle Guo Luoluo.
He didn't believe that all this was true, and he didn't believe that his brother and uncle just left, but no matter how many people he sent out to search, he couldn't find a trace of useful information, and it was at that time that his second brother, who was only in his twenties, turned pale like this.
It's funny to say, his mother died, his good third brother (prince), uncle, and uncle of the Tong family actually came to join in the fun, and what made him even more funny was that they actually took King Cobra venom together, hahahaha, it's really God's eyes! Especially looking at his emperor Ama, listening to his close relatives who committed suicide by taking poison, it was very pleasant, but unfortunately, his ninth brother was not here, otherwise, he would definitely be even happier.
Then, his emperor Ama couldn't stand the blow and died, and the throne naturally passed to his second brother, but their restless brothers, in order to make trouble for their second brother, spread rumors one by one that their Eniang was the reincarnation of the demon concubine, and then there was the crown prince, Bowang (Prince Yu), uncle (Prince Gong), and the uncle of the Tong family committed suicide by poisoning, and they wanted to deal with their brothers on the charge of 'Qingjun', but do they have this opportunity? It's just a few self-righteous things, and they dare to jump out and jump, and his second brother is angry, and he completely 'trapped' them!
Some people say that the second brother's methods are too severe, but when his Eniang was maliciously abused, why didn't you come out to clarify? It's good now, what kind of brotherhood? Are they qualified? Yinqi sneered, didn't you say that my Eniang is a 'demon concubine of the country'? Then I will let the people below feel the brilliance of my Eniang, and spread the news that my Eniang is the reincarnation of Guanyin Niangniang, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the people to spontaneously build a temple of 'Shengde Niangniang'.
Just when Yinqi fell into the emotional world, he suddenly heard a cough, raised his eyes and saw his second brother's pale cheeks, and Yinqi next to him walked behind him first to help him breathe, but the next moment, he exclaimed: "Second brother, you actually coughed up blood?"
When Yinqi heard this, his face turned pale, and he looked at his second brother in disbelief, only to see him and Yinqi look at him and Yinqi with a rare smile: "Little five, little ten, don't be sad for the two of you, the second brother can finally go to Eniang and Xiao Jiu, you should be happy for me." ”
Yinqi always thought that his second brother was only so busy because of self-blame, but now he found out that his second brother obviously had a will to die, but he couldn't even notice such a thing, he was a bastard!
Yinqi clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions, but why did those sour tears flow down? Yinqi was also pale, he always knew that his second brother was obsessed with the death of Eniang and Jiu Ge, but ...... Why can't you think about our brother well? Eniang went, they were sad and sad, Brother Jiu went, their hearts were numb with pain, and now, you are going to have another 'tired' illness, what do you want our brother to do?
"Second brother, don't you even want our brother?" Yin'o couldn't control his emotions anymore and cried out in grief. There are four of them, but he is not the biological child born to Concubine Yi, but he knows that Concubine Yi's mother loves him from the bottom of her heart, and lets him live so chic and wanton in this palace of 'holding high and stepping on low', and it is also because of her favor that he has three brothers who have poured out their hearts and lungs for him, but now, the ninth brother is leaving in pain, and the second brother has smashed it into a ball of ashes, so that he doesn't even have the strength to breathe.
"Little ten, the second brother misses E-Niang, I miss it very much, I want it very much!" Bao Cheng showed a trance-like appearance, his eyes revealed a warm breath, he remembered that when he was young, E-Niang always bullied them with a smile, and then, very cunningly, accused them of bullying a few of them, and finally, a few of them knew that they were calculated by E-niang, but they were still stupidly drilled in, now thinking about it, there was a faint sadness, but he really felt that they were very happy at that time!
"Since childhood, Xiao Jiu is the most popular with his mother, at that time, he always likes to hide in her arms and splash and roll, and she will also smile at his little head and laugh and scold 'naughty', and then, punish him to draw a picture, and mention a childish poem, now that I think about it, those memories are so clear!"
Yin Russia shed tears in distress, thinking of that scene, his eyes revealed a sadness that could not be concealed, he remembered that at that time, he was always very careful to pull his clothes, revealing a trace of envy, and his Yi Concubine Eniang would also call him to come to his side as soon as possible, gently pinching his cheek and smiling and saying to him: Xiao Shi is really good, unlike your ninth brother, you know how to pretend to be cute all day long!
Sure enough, E-Niang's words were very effective, and when his ninth brother heard this, he immediately changed his expression, blinking his innocent phoenix eyebrows, and then, deliberately suppressed his voice and shouted: E-niang, how can Xiao Jiu have? Then, his E-niang would roll her eyes cutely, nod her head, and say childishly: Yes, Ben E-niang and your brothers have seen it! When he spoke, the second brother and the fifth brother would nod their little heads very cooperatively, and he would also receive a warning from his ninth brother when he was about to nod, so his mother would hold his little hand, so that he seemed to have received encouragement, and the ghost sent a 'hmm'!
Usually in this case, his ninth brother will accuse Concubine Yi of cheating and bullying him as a son, while he and the second brother will watch Eniang and the ninth brother argue with each other without blinking, and finally, the ninth brother is speechless, and he will angrily stretch the little face that looks like Concubine Yi's mother, and look at the second brother, the fifth brother and him: You three traitors!
'Hehe' how cute his ninth brother is, obviously he is such a small person, but he is always so vivid, so that his two brothers can't love it, but it's more helpless, after all, anyone who sees that face that looks like Concubine Yi's mother can't bear to blame. This is also the reason why their brothers have been rampant in the palace for so many years, and even if his emperor Ama called them to his side, he did not severely reprimand them!
"It's been ten years, I can finally go to see our mother, and I don't know if she will forgive me if she knows that I lost my two younger brothers (Yinyu and Xiaotian)?" Bao Chengyu choked up, unable to hide the pain in his heart.
Yinqi clenched his fists and bit his lip: "Second brother, Eniang is a person with clear grievances, she won't blame you." ”
"But I can't forgive myself. ”
Bao Cheng said with a little bitterness, his Xiao Jiu and Xiao Tian's younger brother are so good, but he can't do anything to let them survive, even if he wants him to exchange his life for their lives, he is willing, really, he would rather lose his life back then, than his two younger brothers! Raising his eyes, looking at his two brothers with unbearable heartache, he was cruel: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Shi, I will write an edict in a while, and when the time comes, you two will take care of this Qing Dynasty for me, so as not to let the prince have shallow experience and let the people suffer disasters!"
Hearing this, Yinqi smiled sadly, and looked at Bao Cheng, who entrusted the future: "Second brother, you are really ruthless, knowing that Yinqi promised Eniang that he would protect the Qing Dynasty well, you treat the master as a free labor tool, but don't forget, the master is Eniang's child, how can he make such a loss-making deal?"
Bao Cheng frowned, Yin'er raised his head suspiciously, and saw Yinqi smile brightly: "Second brother, we are four brothers, E-Niang has always favored you more than me, but this time, the younger brother has to make the first move, otherwise, with the second brother's well-behaved and sensible son as a comparison, the younger brother will have no chance to get E-Niang's favor." ”
When Bao Cheng heard this, his face turned pale, his fingers clasped the table tightly, and he stared straight into Yinqi's eyes: "Xiao Wu, what are you talking nonsense?"
Yinqi knew that this was the person cultivated by his second brother, except for his order, no one could order Yinqi to smile at the corner of his mouth, took out a small and delicate dagger from his sleeve, looked carefully at the patterns depicted on it, and showed a happy smile on his face: "Second brother, Yinqi is afraid that Eniang will have you, so he won't want to be a little five, so my brother has to go first!" I saw that as soon as he pulled out the scabbard, a man in black grabbed the sharpness in his hand, letting the bright red blood drip down, but there was no intention to let go.
Immediately set his eyes on his second brother, but how could Baocheng allow such a thing to happen? His mother has always loved their brothers, but as a brother, he watched their twin brothers lying in that grave, and now, he only had such a brother-in-law left, how dare he let him follow in his footsteps?
Bao Cheng endured the discomfort of his body, let go of Yin's hand, walked in front of Yinqi step by step, and knelt down straight, Yinqi's lips opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound, but he heard:
"Little Wu, just beg you as the second brother, please live well, okay?"
Baocheng's moist eyes looked at Yinqi pleadingly, he knew that his request was very excessive, but he only had such a brother-in-law, how dare he let him have any more accidents? Someone once said: Death is a very simple thing, but for the living, they have to bear all the pain and suffering, but Baocheng does not dare to be soft-hearted, even if his fifth brother hates him and resents him, he has to do it.
'Peng', Bao Cheng's forehead collided with the hard ground, and in an instant, his forehead turned red, and then, the second sound fell, Yinqi was already crying, he knew that his second brother was forcing him, but how could he use this method so insidiously?
The dagger that was clenched shook a few times and let go, and the decadent body fell to the ground as if it had exhausted all its strength, and with trembling hands, he hugged Bao Cheng's head that was about to kowtow, and slapped him fiercely: "Aixin Jueluo Yinren, you are a bastard!"
"If I can keep you alive, I'd rather be a bastard!"
Bao Cheng said with a smile on his face, he knew that what he did would definitely make his fifth brother angry, but so what? If he could agree to his request, even if he was more despicable, what did it matter? Anyway, he was not a good person in the first place, why should he pretend to be a 'saint'?
Listening to his shameless words, Yinqi became even more ruthless, and there were a few slaps on his backhand, and the cold sweat of the prince in bright yellow clothes outside the hall fell, but he also knew that his emperor Ama was immoral this time, but so what? If he can use this method to retain a prince for the country and the people for the Qing Dynasty, no matter how despicable he is, it is for the people of the world, he feels that he needs to learn a lot from Huang Ama, but thinking of his own Huang Ama's body, his heart hurts, perhaps, Huang Ama's wish has finally come true, the prince thinks so.
