Chapter 60: Ashes

However, what Guanghuan didn't expect was that Ye Jingxuan was not a weak woman, and there was an extremely decisive heart hidden under that gentle face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ye Jingxuan was well aware of Guanghuan's cold-blooded and ruthless personality, but she didn't expect him to be so despicable and shameless. And after Ye Jingxuan was used by him, there was no way to live.

Ye Jingxuan gently touched her slightly bulging belly, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, she made a decision, an extremely important decision.

……

……

"Niangniang, the emperor is too ruthless in this matter, not to mention that he promised Jingxuan before, even if he looks at the brother-sister relationship, it will not be like this. Ye Shu said heavily, looking at Concubine Duan, who was already the queen mother, with helplessness.

Concubine Duan took a sip of the dragon well in the jade cup, and said casually: "The emperor is also considering the overall situation, and it is inconvenient for the mourning family to say anything." ā€

Ye Shu sighed, his body sank down, looking at Concubine Duan's golden wisps, and was silent.

"Participate in the Queen Mother. Ye Jingxuan walked in, saluted, and stood still.

"Xuan'er is here, give me a seat. Concubine Duan said with a smile.

"Empress Dowager Xie, no need. Ye Jingxuan said, glancing at Ye Shu.

"The courtiers are willing to kiss. Ye Jingxuan said, her tone was very calm.

Concubine Duan was a little stunned, then smiled, got up and took Ye Jingxuan's hand and said, "Xuan'er knows the general situation, this is naturally excellent." ā€

"Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shu looked at Ye Jingxuan, and stopped talking.

"Father doesn't need to say much, this is a righteous act, and Xuan'er is willing. ā€

Looking at Ye Jingxuan's calm and watery complexion, Ye Shu was like swallowing a fly, unable to speak, only sighed, brushed his sleeves and left.

……

……

Guanghuan ordered Ye Jingxuan to drink the fetal pills, and only recuperated for dozens of days, and then began to handle family affairs.

Ye Jingxuan has always been very cooperative, without quarrels and crying, and she is like the former Miss Jiao.

It is rare for the court to be unanimous, and no one stands up against it, not one.

A new era has begun, and no one wants to go through the old accounts anymore, and even Ye Shu is silent.

The day after Ye Jingxuan and his relatives, Ye Shu handed in his resignation, exhausted, he was no longer able to take charge of court affairs, and he knew very well that Guanghuan would not let him meddle in court affairs again, it was better to resign and retire, and he could still preserve his old age.

After more than 30 years of mixing in officialdom, but in the end there was nothing, Ye Shu looked back at the majestic Xuanhe Palace, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, I don't know if this smile is for himself or for others.

The wind lifted his wide sleeved robe, and his gray hair trembled with it, Ye Shu was sad and there was a hint of relief, he thought that everything was over.

However, it won't be long before he understands that this is just another beginning.

……

……

Queen Wang was still wearing the phoenix robe, but the light on her body had faded.

His eyes were sunken into his sockets, his lines were lined with fine lines, his body was thin and stiff, and even his steps were shaky when he walked.

It seemed that overnight, everything was lost, and even the only peace could not be seen.

The place where she is now is no longer Kunning Palace, but Taiheyuan, a residence that has been abandoned for generations.

There were only four eunuchs watching her and a maid waiting for her, but even this one maid couldn't move.

The people in the palace are all about power, and who doesn't hate to step on them when they are down. But after all, she is the queen who used to be the mother of the world, and she can't stand this anger.

The queen thought of death, but she couldn't find the opportunity. Concubine Duan is under house arrest for Queen Wang, just to let her live like this, looking at how beautiful Concubine Duan is for the rest of her life, this is the most cruel punishment for Queen Wang.

Queen Wang was unwilling, and finally at midnight in a stormy night, while the eunuch maid was asleep, she stole a piece of white silk from the cabinet and learned about this life.

……

……

There was not even a funeral, and despite Ahn Ping and Kwang-hee's repeated requests, Kwanghwan did not show any compassion.

The body of the queen was quietly buried in the westernmost corner of the imperial mausoleum, and could not be buried with the previous emperor.

For Concubine Duan, letting her enter the imperial mausoleum is already the greatest mercy.

……

……

It was late autumn, and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the bleak yellow leaves outside the window, and there was a dead silence in his eyes.

No one knew if it was despair or decadence, and Mu Xiaoxiao himself didn't know.

With a creak, the door opened, and a puff of cold air rushed into the room. Mu Xiaoxiao tightened the coat on his body, sat down on the chair, and did not look up at the person who came in.

At this hour, only he will come. Came every three days without any surprises.

"I heard Jin Ling say that you are infected with the wind cold, are you better?"

"Hmm. Mu Xiaoxiao replied, looking down at the patterns on the carpet.

A hand pinched her chin vigorously, forcing her to look up and see a pair of eyes burning with rage.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at those eyes expressionlessly until the anger in those eyes was extinguished, and then let go of her.

"You're still not willing to say yes!" Guanghuan said angrily, hanging his arm in frustration.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not answer, and continued to hang his head to look at the patterns on the carpet.

"If you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Guanghuan said, throwing a piece of jade pendant in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.

The jade pendant rolled down at Mu Xiaoxiao's feet, and she leaned over to pick it up, carefully holding it in her hand, and a trace of imperceptible consternation crossed her face.

"I'll kill him. Kwanghwan said, his tone threatening.

"No, you can't. Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Guanghuan hatefully, and said word by word.

"I can conquer this world, but can't I conquer you?" Guanghuan sneered.

"How did this world come about, the emperor knows it in his heart. Mu Xiaoxiao said.

Guanghuan was not annoyed, looked at Mu Xiaoxiao holding Yu Pei's hand tightly, and said slowly: "I don't want to spend any more time with you, whether Guangxi is dead or alive depends on your decision." ā€

Mu Xiaoxiao bit his lip, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Give him freedom and let him leave the capital, and I will agree." ā€

"Good. Guanghuan responded, but it was refreshing.

"Prepare well, and marry me in ten days. Guanghuan said, glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, brushed his sleeves and left.

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and put the jade pendant in his hand in his heart.

When silence returned outside the door, Mu Xiaoxiao got up and took out the wooden box under the bed, and took out dozens of silk silks full of words. This is the letter she secretly wrote to Guangxi, in this long and boring day, in the pain of lovesickness, she can only write down her thoughts about Guangxi. However, she understood that Guangxi had no chance to see these letters, and her love was shallow and helpless.

Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the candlestick, and the jumping flame ignited the silk silk in an instant, and smoke rose from the air. Mu Xiaoxiao squatted down and watched the silk silks burn, although he was blinded by the smoke, he did not stay away, choking on tears and watching them turn into ashes.
