One wrong step, one wrong step - He Tianyou Fanwai (2)

When he stood still, the woman smiled at him and said, "Please come with me, and I will take the distinguished guest to the palace where the banquet will be tonight." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

With that, she had already turned around and walked ahead.

The petals of the peach forest flew like rain, and the spring breeze stirred her clothes to make incense, he was a little stunned, and looked up at her back at a loss, and actually followed the ghost!

It wasn't until he walked out of the peach forest, crossed the courtyard wall and passed the flower hall, and arrived at the gate of the Chunhua Palace that he finally remembered what he was doing here, and finally realized what he was doing.

So, he suddenly stopped.

The woman was still walking in front of her, and when she noticed that she had stopped and not followed, she also stood still, turned to look up at him, and wondered, "What else do you have to say?"

Her voice was crisp and crisp, listening to it made people's hearts ripple, and the composure that had just regained it was gone, he raised his eyes to meet the smiling eyebrows, only for a moment, he lowered his eyes a little embarrassed, and said, "I...... I...... I'm here to ...... Come and find ...... Human. ”

Finally finished this sentence, but at this time, he couldn't wait to bite off his tongue, at the critical moment, how could he stutter, why was he so out of shape!

Hearing this, the woman smiled and said, "Are you looking for someone in this Chunhua Palace?"

Under her sparkling gaze, he was no longer embarrassed to look up, opened his mouth, but immediately closed it tightly and quickly, and only nodded.

Fortunately, the woman didn't ask anything, stepped forward, and said softly, "Okay, you come with me first." ”

In this case, in the face of her unknown origin who suddenly appeared in the walls of this palace, shouldn't this woman be very vigilant and ask about her identity and purpose?

However, she didn't ask anything, which made him even more confused.

He was puzzled in his heart, but the steps under his feet seemed to be caused by some kind of spell cast by her, and he actually followed her steps.

walked into the main hall of Chunhua Palace, she ordered someone to make tea, and held it in front of him in person, and he came back to his senses.

However, the woman held the cup of tea in front of his eyes, smiled at him, and said, "I haven't heard any stammering among the distinguished guests who came to the palace this time, so I think your Excellency is not feeling well?"

As she spoke, she handed him the bowl of hot tea and continued, "It may be much better to use hot tea smoothly." ”

Hearing this, he almost embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, but the woman's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, her smile was bright, her personality was straightforward without the slightest pretentiousness, and her expression was completely sincere and enthusiastic, so he couldn't get the slightest anger and resistance.

Then, again, the ghost took the tea and drank it in one gulp.

I don't know if it was the effect of the tea, or his head gradually sobered up, or maybe the woman's eyes calmed him down, but he didn't stutter so much later, he put the tea cup on the table, and said to the woman: "Thank you...... Thank you, girl. ”

Hearing this, the woman burst out laughing: "It's really much better." ”

Hearing this, a flush appeared on his cheeks again.

Seeing this, she didn't laugh at him, for fear that he would be embarrassed, so she immediately changed the topic and said: "Who are you looking for here?" This is the Weiguo Palace, and it is also the resting place for the dancers and musicians specially set up for this banquet, are there people you know here?"

Hearing this, thinking of the assassin, his eyes tightened, and his head buzzed, not knowing how to describe this woman, and he didn't know whether to tell her or not, after all, he was not even sure of her identity now.

Before coming to the Wei Palace, he had also heard that there was a stunning flower in the Wei Palace, which was the princess of the Wei Wang, Xiao Yiwan, since she was a young age, she had already moved the world with her talent and appearance, just now he was on the courtyard wall, the first time he saw her, his intuition told him that it was her, it must be her.

Because only a person like her can afford that kind of reputation, and it is not an exaggeration.

But even so, he didn't dare to confirm it rashly, so in the end, he lowered his eyes and had to ask tentatively: "The girl is Princess Wan of the country?"

Hearing this, the woman nodded, nodded generously and said with a smile: "Exactly, Your Excellency?"

He?

He Tianyou thought about it and felt that if he told her all about the purpose of his trip now, it might be the best way for him, so he didn't hesitate anymore and directly confessed his identity: " To tell the truth, I am the tenth prince of Zhao State, this time with my country's envoy to Wei Wang birthday wishes, but this afternoon after entering the palace but ran into trouble, I received news that one of my royal brothers, has spent a lot of money to hire a killer lurking in the dancing queen of your palace, ready to wait for the opportunity to kill me at tonight's birthday banquet, but this news is only my subordinates report, there is no real evidence, do not dare to rashly alarm King Wei, so, I want to come to Chunhua Palace to see, thinking that maybe I can find a suspicious dancing girl, this is also my offense, and please forgive Princess Wan。 ”

When he said this, he never dared to raise his eyes to look at the woman again, because he was afraid, afraid that if he looked at it more, he would fall a little deeper.

"So that's the case," after listening to him, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, showing a rather confused expression, and muttered: "This matter is not trivial, if the news is true, and we failed to stop it in time, it may also affect the relationship between Zhao Wei and the two countries, there are many guests who came to celebrate his birthday this time, and there are dozens of groups of dancing girls sent to perform from various countries alone, and it is not easy to investigate." ”

He knew all of this, which is why he felt that things were a little tricky.

However, before he could sigh with her, he saw that her eyes lit up, and a fine light flashed across her, and she clapped her hands and said to him, "I have a way." ”

"What's the solution?" he couldn't help but look at the sky, it was gradually darkening, and at this time, it was too late to check one by one, and the banquet in the hall should have started at this time.

And she patted her chest very confidently and assured him: "Although I can't find out which assassin is in a short time, but there is a way to make the assassin unable to do anything, by the way, I'll go and prepare, I'll let someone send you back to the birthday banquet first, everything will be with me tonight, nothing will go wrong, don't worry." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and beckoned a palace maid, explained her meaning, and asked him to follow the palace maid to the banquet first.

Although he didn't know what her method was, when he met her bright and confident eyes, when he heard that reassurance, all his previous worries seemed to disappear in an instant, and he was really relieved.

Later, he followed the palace maid back to the banquet, and because he was late and apologized to King Wei, he sat quietly on the seat arranged for him, holding the wine cup and waiting for the banquet to end with cold eyes.

Sure enough, until the last zither ended, the last dancers danced and retreated in turn, and there was nothing unusual in the whole banquet, although he believed her, but when he really faced such a result, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and surprised, and when he unexpectedly raised his eyes, when he faced the smiling eyes next to the double throne and the side of the screen, his heart suddenly missed half a beat.

However, those eyes only smiled at him, and then turned the screen and could not be found.

The next day, he had to return to Zhao according to the itinerary that had been made, but before leaving, he never saw the woman again, and never had the opportunity to ask her what method was used to resolve this crisis, but in the brightly lit hall that night, after the heavy shadows, the pair of autumn eyes he saw were forever engraved on his heart.

After returning to Zhao like this, he was more diligent and motivated than before, and he became more and more deferential in front of the murderer queen who forced his mother to death, because he knew that only by trying to climb up and climb to that higher place, one day in the future, it would be possible to have some kind of intersection with that woman.

However, he didn't expect that the intersection would come so suddenly.

King Wei was going to marry the princess, and the news of choosing a son-in-law in the Five Kingdoms came to Zhao State, but his father made a decree to send his fourth brother to Wei Guo to propose marriage, intending to make friends between the two countries, and at this time, the princess chosen by the queen for him was the granddaughter of her mother's family Pingyang Houfu.

These two pieces of news were like two rolling thunderbolts, which made him breathless.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to disobey the queen for the first time, and for the first time he was so stubborn in front of his father, he insisted on kneeling outside the imperial study for three days and two nights, and finally fainted on the cold jade bricks, which made his father soften his heart and change his will.

However, what he never expected was that he worked so hard that he even did not hesitate to lose his future promotion, but in exchange for the woman's refusal to marry in public.

At that time, she was also the same as she saw for the first time, standing on the jade steps in front of the Weiguo Dynasty with a peerless demeanor, looking up at him with a shallow smile in her eyes, and even the rippling autumn waves in her eyes had not changed at all, but when she said it, she refused to say it.

For a while, he stood in place like a bewildered child, stunned, stupid, looking at her with a posture of looking up.

For a moment, the whole world, which began to brighten up because of her, was instantly pitch black, and he fell into the endless valley from that moment, he couldn't hear the whispers of the ministers in his ears, he couldn't hear the soft scolding of the king above, and there was a buzzing sound in his head, but he could still clearly hear her silver bell-like laughter.

I don't know how he retreated from the palace hall of the country, and I don't know how he lost his soul and walked to the depths of the imperial garden, when he came back to his senses, he had already found that the road and the palace wall in front of him were already a little unfamiliar, and when he was just thinking about how to return to the road when he arrived and then find the way to the palace, he suddenly heard someone whispering.

The voice is very thin, like a gnat, I can't really hear it, but the tone is very mysterious, he grew up in the harem and reacted immediately, did he bump into something else secret?

Although reason told him to leave unnoticed, after all, this is the Imperial Palace of the Patriotic Kingdom, and if he offends anyone, he may not be able to return to Zhao Kingdom alive, but this time, he took a step along the source of the voice.

As I got closer, the voice became clearer, the voices of a young woman and a middle-aged eunuch.

"Quick, now is the best opportunity to do it, everyone else around the prince has been taken away by me, and when you get it, the master will arrange for someone to send you out of the palace safely." ”

"But what if someone finds out?"

"It's time for us to turn back, go!"

When he heard the last sentence, he was only separated from the two people who spoke by a crescent-shaped arch, and the meaning of these two people's words also shocked him from the bottom of his heart, about the prince of Weiguo?

He was surprised in his heart, but he still wanted to find out, he looked around, found a few magnolia flowers blooming under the palace wall, quietly jumped up, leaned on the magnolia branches to cover his figure, and then raised his eyes to look inside the courtyard wall.

This is a terrible look.

I saw that the young woman who was still talking just now was wearing the dress of a palace maid, and at this time she was carrying the little prince of the country with a flushed face in one hand, and jumped to the rockery in the courtyard that was several meters high.

The woman's light skills were excellent, and she climbed to the top of the rockery in three or two steps, and at this time, the little prince of Weiguo, who was only a few years old, didn't know whether she was dumb or what, but she couldn't pronounce a syllable, so she could only struggle in vain in her hands, and her face was flushed.

But seeing the murderous intent flashing in her eyes, He Tianyou's heart sank, and he immediately realized what she was going to do, and the instinctive reaction of his body was to jump on the palace wall and sweep over to save the little prince, but the thoughts in his head turned extremely fast at this moment, at this moment, he thought of the woman's refusal, thought of the pressure and difficulties he endured in order to successfully come to defend the country, and thought of his own grievances...... And he thought that King Wei was already old and sick, and there was such a prince under his knees, if something happened to him, would that woman be soft on Zhao Guo because of this...... Maybe you can handle this family business!

It was for the last flash of thought that dominated his movements, making him lie stiff on the wall at this moment.

It was only because of this momentary hesitation that the little prince had been thrown down from the high rockery by the woman with her raised hand!

"Ah......h

The picture of the little prince falling to the ground and covered in blood was just seen by the old lady who rushed to look for her from the corner gate on the other side, and after a scream, the entire palace was in chaos.

And he also took advantage of the chaos to leave the Weiguo Palace and return to Zhao, and later it was reported that the Prince of Weiguo was seriously injured, and King Wei died of excessive sadness.

At that time, he was still thinking about it, with a little joy in his heart, could it be that at the more critical juncture, the woman had no choice but to be soft on Zhao Guo...... Will you choose him?

After all, at that time, Zhao Guo was already the most powerful existence among the five countries, and he was also a member of the Ling Guardian Kingdom, so she had no reason to refuse.

However, just when he was cheering and jumping and suppressing the trace of guilt in his heart, when he was waiting for the news that Wei Guo agreed to make peace, he was indeed waiting for the news that Wei Guo wanted to make peace.

However, the person she wanted to marry became the king of the Chen State, not the ten princes of the Zhao State, he.

At that moment, he truly realized what it means to have all thoughts extinguished, and what it means to have a heart like ashes.

Later, he stepped on the blood of his brothers step by step, and finally got the highest position in Zhao Guo by all means, and finally had the opportunity to become an existence that blessed her, but he heard the news that she was pregnant from King Chen's palace.

In the depths of the palace, every midnight dream, as long as he thinks of the famous flower that blooms on his heart, which is blooming in the crook of other people's arms at this time, and tossing and turning under other people's knees, his hatred and jealousy are like flooding rivers and dams, which can no longer be cleaned up.

Hate because she couldn't get it, because she once smiled back at him and warmed the rest of his life, but she didn't want to choose him and hate.

That hatred was like a weed that had survived the middle of winter, and it seemed to grow in his heart like a madman, until the month before she gave birth to her child, he finally broke out, and he used all means and manpower to install Neiying in Chen's palace and buy off Chen's Qin Tianjian.

As soon as her child is born, whether male or female, there will be a Qin Tianjian to report to King Wei, the sky is ominous, and a scourge is born, and this naturally has enough reason for King Wei, who is obsessed with Taoism, to send her into the cold palace and never see her again.

But what he didn't expect was that things were far beyond his expectations.

She gave birth to a daughter, and she was born with a bewitching Lingxiao flower birthmark, according to the description of the spies who came back to report, it should have been a famous flower that was definitely no less than her mother, but because she was brought to the Qin Tianjian prophecy of "pouring the country's disaster water", it made the Wei Wang and the people of the country more and more convinced, so that it became the existence of the whole Weiguo that everyone heard about and hated.

His fall from grace was something he was happy to see, but being imprisoned in the tall and dark Demon Tower was not what he wanted.

He had also tried many ways to try to rescue her, but Wei Guo believed too deeply about the words "pouring the country's troubles" and "dumping the country's demons", and Rao was he later found Qin Tianjian to change his words, but it had no effect.

This statement has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has never been turned around.

Later, he could only dream back every midnight and get up in his clothes, standing on a high terrace, looking in the direction of the country, his eyes full of sadness.

Therefore, he stepped up his efforts to enrich the strength of Zhao State, and he was waiting for the day when he could put on his armor and go away, and take their mother and daughter out of the lock demon tower with glory.

However, in this world, everything can not be as expected, and he has repeatedly been hindered and hindered, so that he has waited for sixteen years.

The belief is still there, but the body can't hold on, many things, he can only rely on his own powerful prince to do, among these princes, the most proud and trusting is the third prince He Rong.

His forbearance and strategy, and even the sneer that hung inadvertently on the corner of his mouth many times, were very similar to when he was young.

The plan to outwit Wei Guo was proposed by him, and when he mentioned that he wanted to use himself as a guide to go to Wei Guo to marry the woman's daughter under the guise of him, he hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

All he thought at the time was - he regretted not marrying her in his life, so his son could marry her daughter, is this also a consummation in another sense?

Therefore, from the beginning of sending the third prince He Rong to Weiguo to start the implementation of the plan, his gradually beating not so strong heart was nervous day by day, he was like a child, **** with anticipation stubbornly waiting for He Rong to bring news from Weiguo and bring the woman.

However, although it didn't take long for the good news that the Yan and Zhao coalition forces had broken through the capital of the Wei Kingdom without much effort, there was also another news that could crush his entire soul - it turned out that she had already lost her fragrance three years ago, but Chen Guo concealed the news of her death.

In the end, he was still one step too late!

When He Rong smashed the jade porcelain bottle containing her bones in front of him, one of his hearts seemed to be overwhelmed by ten thousand swords in an instant.

At this time, he no longer wanted to think about why his own son did this to him, all he had in his eyes was the gray skeleton of her.

His heartbeat gradually slowed down, his limbs gradually became cold, he wanted to raise his hand to hold her skeleton in his arms, but his body no longer obeyed the call, and hallucinations began to appear in his eyes, he crawled on the ground, touching the gray and cold skeleton, but seemed to be looking at the woman who smiled back at him in the depths of the peach forest.

Her voice sounded like a silver bell.

"Listening to the accent, it doesn't look like I'm a person in the country, goodbye Your Excellency is dressed, it should be a lost guest, today there is a banquet in the palace, and the distinguished guests who came to participate don't know how ordinary, but there are few lost people like you. ”

"Come with me, and I will take your guests to the palace where the feast will be to-night. ”

……

A smile and a smile on her eyebrows are all what she looked like back then.

If he hadn't received news from his subordinates back then, and hadn't recklessly gone to Chunhua Palace to find assassins, would their endings be different?

If back then, after hearing the secret conversation between the two people in the depths of the Imperial Garden, he did not turn a blind eye to the life and death of the little prince of the country, but rushed forward to protect him, then, would their ending be different?

If he hadn't hated him out of jealousy back then, and sent someone to buy off Qin Tianjian and the palace guards to prove that the daughter she gave birth to was a demon, would her life be different?

……

Everything is a foregone conclusion, and there are no ifs.

The breath of life was fading, and he could feel his soul slowly pulling away from this body, but there was still a trace of bitter tears in the corners of his cold eyes.

Over the years, he has not lost his way, but has chosen the wrong path in the first place.

One wrong step, one wrong step, one wrong life.
