Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eternal Night Without Light 3 (Finale)
Where does the eternal night go? The incense pavilion is covered, the eyebrows are constricted, and the moon will sink. Fighting forbearance and not looking for each other, resentment and loneliness. Change my heart, for your heart, I know each other deeply. - "Appealing to the Heart, Where to Throw People in the Eternal Night" by Don Gu Wei.
**
On the night when Liang Xinjun officially inherited the throne, with the first continuous spring rain in the early spring of this year, Liang Shengxiao, who had not yet had time to change his crown clothes, appeared in front of the gate of the Zhufu Mansion with white silk hanging high under the support of a large group of swordsmen and soldiers.
However, when the door of Zhu's mansion was knocked open slightly rudely by the Imperial Forest Army, everyone found that the person who opened the door was not Xiao Si, the gatekeeper of Zhu's mansion, but the owner of Zhu's mansion, Zhu Zimo.
Zhu Zimo, who was dressed in mourning clothes, stood behind the door of the mansion so thorny, blocking Liang Shengxiao's only way to enter the mansion, and Zhu Zimo was also very afraid of death and sneered at Liang Shengxiao: "The emperor is now a beauty on the side, and he is a new treasure, and he still has time to come to the minister's mansion, the minister is really honored." But...... If you want to enter the minister's mansion, the emperor might as well go back to the palace. She is gone, and the minister doesn't want her to live in peace even if she leaves for the last time. ”
Before Zhu Zimo's words were gone, a young eunuch standing beside Liang Shengxiao immediately shouted: "Be bold and dare to talk to the Holy Lord like this! Isn't the Hou of Che afraid that the Holy Lord will punish you for the crime of great disrespect!!
A person with a disability in the lower half of his body, just a clown jumping off the beam, Zhu Zimo didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and he didn't even give a look.
Looking fixedly at Liang Shengxiao, who was standing outside the gate of Zhu's mansion, drenched from head to toe, Zhu Zimo smiled extremely sarcastically, as if no one was around: "Does the emperor know what her last words were before she left?"
Although this was a question, Zhu Zimo didn't give Liang Shengxiao a chance to speak.
When Liang Shengxiao stared at him, the mocking smile on Zhu Zimo's lips deepened, and his voice was deliberately low: "She said...... If someone comes and asks for her body after she dies, let me never hand her over. In addition, after she dies, her body will be burned, and the ashes will be buried wherever they are, it doesn't matter if they are scattered in the wind, just don't bury them in the imperial mausoleum, she doesn't want to see him in a hundred years......" After a slight pause, Zhu Zimo asked with a sarcastic smile: "The emperor knows that the 'he' she said before she died...... Who is it?"
Zhu Zimo's last question fell, and Liang Shengxiao, who had been silent before, gradually showed a painful look in her eyes.
Seeing Liang Shengxiao's performance like this, Zhu Zimo felt that it was not enough, far from enough! He wanted to take revenge on Liang Shengxiao! He wanted Liang Shengxiao to be miserable forever from tonight onwards as long as he thought of the name "Leng Xin" in his future life!!
So, Zhu Zimo took two steps forward and stepped out of the gate of Zhu's mansion, in the unblinking vigilant eyes of the surrounding royal forest army, Zhu Zimo slowly leaned over, leaned over to Liang Shengxiao's ear, and whispered word by word in a low voice: "She was pregnant with a child, but because your queen mother poisoned her, the child was gone in less than a month, you know that child...... Whose is it?"
Because he leaned over Liang Shengxiao's ear, Zhu Zimo couldn't see Liang Shengxiao's facial expression at this time, but Zhu Zimo obviously felt that Liang Shengxiao's body trembled when he finished speaking.
Hooking his lips and smiling coldly, Zhu Zimo continued to whisper: "There is also the time when the first emperor dies...... On the day of the first emperor's funeral, your queen mother personally went to Yishu Hall to give her dove wine, saying that she was the last favorite concubine of the first emperor before his death, and she should follow the first emperor...... She was forced to drink helplessly. Although my people are skilled in medicine, I can save her once, this time...... But he couldn't save her life...... She still had a little attachment to you, but you forced her to leave home and forced her to such a point. Anyway, she has already drunk the dove wine, and it is better to die clean than to live and suffer. ”
At this point, Zhu Zimo finally stood up straight, took a step back, and when he saw Liang Shengxiao's body trembling and bursting into tears, Zhu Zimo finally smiled with satisfaction: "You and your queen mother have joined forces to harm her to such an extent...... Liang Shengxiao, do you still have the face to see her for the last time? Are you not afraid that she will know under the spring, and she will not even be able to go on the last journey?"
"You, you, you...... He actually called the saint by his name!!!" As soon as Zhu Zimo finished speaking, the young eunuch standing behind Liang Shengxiao pointed at Zhu Zimo and shouted again.
This time, Zhu Zimo glanced at the eunuch who was pointing at him with an annoyed face, but Zhu Zimo still didn't say anything in the end, turned around and walked towards the wide open door of Zhu's mansion.
After stepping into the gate of Zhu's mansion and ordering the little servants guarding the door to close the door, Zhu Zimo looked back slightly at Liang Shengxiao, who was still standing outside the mansion gate.
Hooking his lips and smiling coldly, Zhu Zimo's voice was as cold as a knife: "The emperor should please go back, the minister's temple is small, and it can't accommodate the emperor's big Buddha." Of course, if the emperor wants to break through, the courtiers will naturally not be able to stop him. But...... Hanging on the door of the minister's mansion is the plaque of the first emperor's imperial pen, if the emperor wants to fall a 'disrespectful first emperor' reputation, he can break through...... In addition, three days later, the minister will burn her body next to the lotus lake in the palace, if the emperor is not at ease, then come to the minister's mansion, the minister will open the door of the mansion, waiting for the driver. ”
As Zhu Zimo finished speaking, the door of Zhu's mansion also slammed shut......
Outside the gate of Zhu's Mansion, facing the closed door of Zhuqi's Mansion, Liang Shengxiao stood quietly, and his face couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. And in the end, when Liang Shengxiao fell down violently, there was an instant mess in front of the Zhufu Mansion with the plaque of "Chehou Mansion......
Three days later......
Under the gloomy sky that looked gloomy due to the drizzle for two consecutive days, Liang Shengxiao, who was wearing a crown of twelve crowns hanging from front to back, wearing a "twelve chapter pattern" crown dress with a black coat and embroidered five-clawed dragon boots on his feet, stood at the highest point of the palace wall of Liang Xiaocheng, looking at the wisps of green smoke in the west, Liang Shengxiao knew that the wisps of green smoke originated from Zhu's mansion......
Today...... It was the day her body was burned...... He really wanted to see her for the last time, but after that conversation with Zhu Zimo that night, he finally lost the courage to see her for the last time......
In the past three days, he couldn't sleep at night, and in the middle of the night when no one was there, the most thing he thought about was how much grievances and sufferings she had suffered in these few months, in places he couldn't see or know......
She endured all her grief and endured it alone...... And he ......
The throat suddenly had a fishy sweetness, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of blood, so bright color......
When the eunuch standing on the side saw this, he was so frightened that he took two steps forward to support Liang Shengxiao, but he saw an even more terrifying scene: "Emperor, Emperor, you, your head, hair ......."
In the eunuch's unspeakable words, Liang Shengxiao silently raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, then took off the twelve crowns on his head, untied the tied hair, and let the three thousand green silks drift away with the wind, Liang Shengxiao realized it later...... Scold...... Where else does he have any 3,000 green silks......
Lowering his eyes, he looked numbly at the strand of white hair that was blown into front of his eyes by the breeze...... Liang Shengxiao was silent.
Green silk turns gray hair...... Is that what it is...... Is there no greater mourning than the death of the heart......
But if the heart is dead...... Why is he still alive...... Why...... He wasn't the one who died......
Call...... Why can't I see anything...... Is it getting dark so soon?
There was a messy and noisy exclamation in my ears, what was it shouting? Oh...... It's a "Your Majesty"...... But why do you call him "emperor"...... The throne of Daliang is that of his father...... The father and the emperor are gone, and the throne belongs to the eldest brother of the crown prince...... The eldest brother of the crown prince......
It's night. Thousands of miles away on the top of Qinshan Mountain.
A man in a cyan robe with a full head of gorgeous hair stood on the edge of the cliff at the top of Qinshan Mountain, and the cold wind blowing up from under the cliff drove the man's robe.
The man with gorgeous hair tilted his neck slightly, as if looking at the cold moon in the sky, and after a long time, the voice that seemed to be murmuring and could not be heard clearly sounded at the cliff cliff where the wind was whistling: "Senior brother, in the past, for that person, you lost your teacher, your wife and children, and you became a demon with a thought, and the world was chaotic." I have pity on thy wife and thy children, and all thy disciples, and all the people of the world......
When Master was feathered, he passed on the position of head of the family to me, which made me remember the friendship of the same family and share the weal and woe with several senior brothers, but I think that compared with the brotherhood of the same family, the stability of the world and the stability of the people are more important. Senior brother, many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and that person has long passed away with the wind, and the third junior brother and the fourth junior sister are now fine, junior brother, do you have any remorse?"
"Senior brother, I have no regrets! I have never regretted what I did! Everything is worth it! It is worth it!" An old voice with some excitement resounded around the cliff, with an ethereal spirit, making it impossible to find the exact location of the sound.
The man standing on the cliff sighed when he heard this, and continued to murmur, "Senior brother, why are you so obsessed...... If you are so persistent and unrepentant, the consequences of the debts you have created will eventually be repaid on your descendants, are you willing to see your descendants set foot on the road you have traveled again, and see him end up even more miserably than you? Now, I don't care about whether I can still build the Great Road, after all, it was I, the senior brother back then, who failed to look at you, so that you made a big mistake and ended the prosperity of a dynasty ahead of schedule. Now, I only hope that the children of the fourth junior sister will not let my brother down......!
At this moment, a sigh that seemed to come from outside the sky sounded faintly: "Brother Xiaoyao, why are you not obsessed? The sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore." It's not easy for you and my generation to practice today, so why bother to self-destruct your cultivation......"
After this sigh that seemed to come from outside the sky fell silent, the flower-haired man standing on the cliff replied loudly: "Since the day I met him, I have not been able to turn back. Wuchen, you have jumped out of the five elements, don't worry about the affairs of this world. This path is my own choice, no matter what the result is, I will bear it with all my might, no complaints, no regrets!"
