Chapter 143: Chu Shaoling's Confession

"Palace Master. Hua Mujin walked slowly and stood beside Shangguan Yelin.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ye Lin glanced at Hua Mu Jin lightly, and then lowered his eyes to play with the golden hairpin on the makeup table, and asked lightly.

"Qin Guifei hanged herself in prison. ”

Hearing this, the hand playing with the golden hairpin froze slightly, and the eyelid lifted slightly, "Regarding the rumors, is there any new news?" ”

After that, Shangguan Yelin stood up, a velvet sweater, a pair of blue cotton shoes, a light cyan silk thread at the neckline, and a light pink lotus embroidered on it, looking elegant, as if thinking of something, and replied, "Where did they go on Yuelintian, is there still no news?"

"Rumors have been circulating widely, and nothing has been found yet, but according to the news from the Yong'an Pavilion, we have learned another information, that is, why Helan and Qingyi will overwhelm the Tianqi with a large army, and I heard the two subordinates of the Yong'an Pavilion say that this war was provoked by a person named Mozihua. ”

Yong'an Pavilion was burned down four years ago, and when they learned that the palace master was praying in heaven, they took this opportunity to build a place for them to live, so that it was convenient to listen to the news and at the same time, it was also convenient to serve the palace master at any time, so most of the people in Yong'an Pavilion were in the Jade Toad Palace.

Seeing that the palace master got up, he also waited with him, listened to another inquiry, and replied, "Yue Lintian and Shui Liuyun seem to have been helping the emperor with one thing, and we have not been able to contact them, it seems that they should be very busy." ”

The news came into his ears, Shangguan Ye Lin's pupils were dyed with a trace of haze, Mozi painting, I didn't expect him to dare to flee to Tianqi, and dare to write to Qingyi and Helan, spreading rumors that the emperor wants to make Qingyi and Helan become Tianqi's vassals, it seems that this person can't stay, otherwise, I don't know what basket he will poke out for Tianqi.

Yuelintian and Shui Liuyun have been helping Xuanyue do one thing? What is the matter? Rumors, Xuanyue is obviously helping her, but she said coldly, Xuanyue, Xuanyue, why do I feel more and more unable to understand you, why do I feel that you are getting farther and farther away from me, why?

A pair of misty eyes were tightly closed, leaving only a trace of black line on the eyelids, and there was an inexplicable trace of gnawing colic in the chest.

"The imperial concubine Niangniang summoned the last general to enter the palace, I don't know what happened?" Yue Yang knelt down on one knee, saluted Su Yingran, and went straight to the point.

Su Yingran smiled lightly, personally helped General Yue, and said lightly, "General Yue has done his best for the heavens and devoted himself to the country, so he must not let people who are not good for the emperor exist." ”

"Naturally. I saw General Yue nodded, and his answer was very firm, all those who endangered Tianqi and the emperor, he Yueyang would not let go.

Hearing this, Su Yingran raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, stroked the silver honey gold cat's eye ring on her hand, and opened her lips slightly, "Then the folk rumors in the past few days, I think General Yue has also heard of them, these rumors are not groundless, and some people have gone to the cave to see it, it is indeed the case, this, this palace thinks, General Yue also knows." ”

This, he did hear people talk about it when he investigated, and when he went to check, the tombstone was gone, and there was no way to know whether it was true or not, thinking about it, the imperial concubine's voice sounded again, and she raised her eyes.

"The queen mother is far-sighted, and she will definitely not tolerate the existence of people who threaten her, the death of Concubine Chen, Concubine Li's suicide, Qin Guifei's imprisonment, and suicide in fear of crime, next, I am afraid that it will be the turn of the palace. Suddenly he turned around, raised his eyes, and said, "General Yue is loyal and courageous, I don't think he will let this demon queen continue to harm her, right?" ”

After speaking, Su Yingran waved her sleeve robe lightly, her expression was serious, but her words were light, "The rumor that the queen mother is the master of the cult is widely spread among the people, whether it is true or not, I am afraid that once it reaches its peak, there will definitely be lawless courtiers who will rebel under the slogan of setting things right.

Seeing General Yue's head, as if thinking, Su Ying's ink pupils turned slightly, sighed, and said: "This palace doesn't want to provoke trouble, but out of concern for the safety of Tianqi, General Yue will be summoned to come and inform the stakes of this matter, and also inform the queen of what the queen has done, and hope that General Yue will consider this matter carefully." ”

"What the imperial concubine said is very true, the last general will be the saddle before and after the horse, and swear to defend the heavens and pray to the country. General Yue bowed down again, and then stepped out of the palace gate.

Looking at the back of General Yue's departure, Su Yingran gently lifted her eyelids and smiled.

Queen Mother, I Su Yingran will not always bow to you, I will not lose to you forever, I will take back everything that belongs to me, everything I have.

The next day, above the court, Ouyang Xuanyue put down the wrinkles in her hand, and her condensed voice sounded, "My queen is just a weak woman, why did she offend several ministers, and let you co-sign the impeachment and let me punish her?"

"The reason why the ministers impeached the queen is also to focus on the overall situation, the last general has heard in the people, and heard a few people say that there is indeed such a thing, and now there are rumors among the people, all rumors are rumored that the queen is the master of the evil cult, and the queen of the demon in the harem is undoubtedly a tiger for trouble, and even more will let the legal person have a chance to take advantage of it, rebel in the name of setting things right, and let Tianqi fall into a crisis. ”

"According to what General Yue said, the people have to sell their accounts, the ministers have to serve the public, and they have to guard against villains, so is there only one way for me to punish crimes?" ”

The right minister stepped out and arched his hand: "The folk rumors are unfounded, besides, how could the queen mother fall into the heavens and pray in danger, the queen mother is wise and alert, but the emperor's virtuous help, how many things have been done for the heavens, don't we all see it in our eyes?"

After a closer look, I found that this right minister was originally the prime minister who was lurking in Yintian before, and Yintian was completely disintegrated by the queen's mother, and then asked him to return to Tianqi with the phoenix seal and the letter written by the emperor, and became the right minister.

"The harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics since ancient times, but the queen mother has violated the palace rules several times, how can she explain it?" If it weren't for the cult palace master, how could he be so vicious, kill the minister, and kill the concubine...

"Could it be that General Yue's words can erase all the merits of the queen mother?" everything the queen mother did, he saw it in his eyes, how could the queen mother endanger Tianqi.

"The folk rumors are all false, and besides, my queen has always been with me, when has she ever been in charge of the unwarranted Jade Toad Palace, I'm afraid that someone has nothing to do. Ouyang Xuanyue's eyelids lifted, and a faint gaze came out.

"The Emperor's ......"

Before the words came out, a voice came from far to near at the entrance of the hall, "General Yue, presumably General Yue also knows that the battle between Tianqi and Qingyi is still ongoing, so at this time, we must have the same hatred of the enemy, if the news of the disagreement between the monarchs and ministers spreads, this internal and external trouble, I am afraid it will bring unnecessary disasters to Tianqi." ”

The words came into his ears, and he saw Yue Yang's heavy eyelids lifted, and said: "This matter, the last general has not thought about it carefully, and there have been, but the queen mother can always think about the problem so thoroughly, but it really makes the last general have to admire." "I have to be suspicious too.

"Queen, your decisive temperament has also changed, you are like this, no wonder some ministers will listen to rumors and have misunderstandings. Ouyang Xuanyue's incomparably light eyes looked at Shangguan Ye Lin, and then swept the ministers, "The folk rumors are chasing after the wind, and individual ministers still want to find a way to stop this rumor, instead of stumbling on me." ”

Seeing this, Shangguan Ye Lin followed, but saw Ouyang Xuanyue going in the direction of Huaqing Palace, took a step, narrowed his eyes, and walked towards the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

As soon as he walked to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw Hua Mujin hurrying over, his cold face did not show any expression at all, he was still calm, walked to her side, and whispered: "Palace Master, it's not good." ”

"What's the matter?" The ethereal three words sounded, and Shangguan Yelin's pale blue cotton coat was embroidered with dark blue silk threads on the fabric, extending from the skirt to the waist, adding a bit of cold temperament.

"General Yue frequently gathers large armies with bad intentions, and the slogan is 'After the Demon Punishment, Qing Jun Side'. Hua Mujin's face had no other expression except calm and cold, and although the words he said were quiet, he carried a worry that could not be hidden.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin lowered her eyelids slightly, touched the pot of peonies that had been open for four years with her bare hand, and sneered at the corners of her mouth, "Hmph... After punishing the demon, Qingjun's side, this slogan is really good, and if you are not careful, people's hearts will be taken away by them. ”

"Oh my God, then what should we do now, if this General Yue really attacks the palace and captures the palace master, then ......" Jing Ling'er's light eyes flowed, and she looked like she didn't know what to do.

Shangguan Ye Lin slowly lowered his eyelids, and his light voice flowed out, "This palace knows, you go and pay more attention to this General Yue, and as soon as there is news, you will immediately inform this palace." ”

Put on the white velvet neck, step out of the palace gate, dismiss all the palace people, wander alone in the imperial garden, walk slowly, the brocade swayed slightly, the earrings swayed, the hairpin also made a tinkling sound, the deep eyes looked ahead, as if thinking about something, the beautiful picture, people can't bear to break.

Unconsciously came to Huaqing Palace, thinking about what Hua Mujin said, Xuanyue spent half the night in the imperial study, so why did he stay in Huaqing Palace every night?

Thinking about it, the ghost came to the door of the room like a god, and then, the thoughts condensed, and there was no need to knock on the door, the woman in the room gasped and * went straight to the eardrums, and she knew what was going on inside even if she didn't have to look at it.

The Emperor, the Emperor. The woman called like this, tactfully like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

She should have broken in, or should have left, but she just stood in place, her face was pale, inside the room, the red tent of the shark, the clouds and rain Wushan, outside the room, she stood by the door, biting her cherry lips until she was bleeding, and her heart was broken, but she still did not shed a single tear.

At this time, the sky suddenly began to snow, and the heavy snow seemed to be telling something, and it seemed to be holding on to the unevenness, and in an instant, the heavy snow spread all over the heavens, forming a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Eyelids, like a soulless puppet walking in the snow, a stumble, fell on the snow-white ground, slowly turned over, lying flat on the snow, looking at the falling snow above, the tentacles were cold, it turned out that the snow melted on her face...

"Lin'er, from now on, you are my Ouyang Xuanyue's only wife, the only woman, I am born, I will bring you a unique favor, and my death will also bring you unparalleled wealth. ”

"I, Ouyang Xuanyue, will be good to you for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life. ”

Ouyang Xuanyue, what you said, I have every word in my ears and every word in my heart, but in the end?

Ouyang Xuanyue, should I give you to someone else? The huge palace of heart cultivation, the huge palace, the huge world, I have nothing, I only have you, if I don't even have you anymore, then what else do I have? No, I can't give you to anyone, can't...

After a while, I felt that my face was gradually warming, and there was no snow falling on my face again, and I slowly opened my eyes, but I saw Chu Shaoling standing next to her with an umbrella, shielding her from the invasion of wind and snow.

Gradually closed his eyes, his eyelashes covered with snow trembled slightly, and his voice sounded faintly as the snow drifted away, "Why are you still here, why don't you leave?"

"If I leave, then, who else can you rely on?" Chu Shaoling's words came from above, his voice was like lightning and thunder, shocking people's hearts, serious like a general on the battlefield, but he was helpless and finally ended in a bleak curtain after the prosperity.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin lifted his eyelids and opened a pair of bloodshot but glowing eyes, revealing a terrifying indifference in his eyes, "The reliance I want has never been what you think, do you understand?"

"My only wish in this life, but to join hands with you in the world and watch the clouds roll up, is it really so difficult to fulfill?" his eyes twitched, as if he had encountered something frightened and showed a look of unease.

"What I want, you can't give, what you give, I can't afford it, and I don't want it. A trace of sorrow slipped like lightning, closed his eyes, his eyelashes like black feathers trembled slightly, and a word drifted away with the cold wind.

Chu Shaoling silently closed his eyes, a drop of cold liquid slowly slipped down, feeling that the cold water had extinguished all the hope in his heart, threw away the umbrella in his hand, and lay flat in the snow with Shangguan Yelin, accepting the invasion of the wind and snow.

"What should I do?" the faint voice was like smoke that was hard to hold, the wind was very strong and cold today, the snow was always dried after it melted, and sure enough, a girl like her was not even allowed to shed tears.

The words were still in his ears, Chu Shaoling pulled out a bitter smile and opened his lips, "From before to now, I thought you were omnipotent, but I didn't expect you to ask me what to do, it seems that love is really hurtful." ”

The self-deprecating laughter spread between Shangguan Ye Lin's eyebrows, only to hear her sneer: "Indeed, it turns out that love is just a thousand things, it has never been abandoned, it has never been hurt, how can you know how to love someone? Love, it turns out that it is just an experience, nothing is nothing..."

"Yes, it turned out that after stepping into your heart, I found that there is no place for me to stand. Xiao Xiao's cold wind and the heavy snow swept him, making him feel cold through his bones, I don't know if it came from the body or the soul, he turned his eyes, and his voice sounded like a filament, "I lost." ”

Before he could speak, he only heard Shangguan Ye Lin muttering, "I also lost, I lost Ouyang Xuanyue, and I lost the trust between me." "Despair is as devastating as falling into an unfathomable pool.

"But Ouyang Xuanyue won, he got your heart... And your people. Saying that, Chu Shaoling only felt a bitter water of disappointment slip through his heart, drowning all his expectations, his thin lips opened lightly, and he spoke unusually calmly, "A woman conquers a man, that is, she conquers a perfect world, at least, you once had this world, but I have never had it from beginning to end." ”

"Heh... I don't know if there is any medicine for forgetfulness in this world. Shangguan Yelin lay in the snow, letting the snow bury her body, her body was already numb, as if she was immersed in ice water, and even her heart was cold.

The next day, the snowflakes that fell slowly shrouded the heavy palace in a vast white, delicate but also heroic in the palace shining and radiant, Shangguan Ye Lin opened his eyes, looked around, only to feel that his eyes were tired, and finally closed his eyes to rest.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon, and I sat up slowly, I had been lying in the snow for a long time yesterday, and now I felt a little dizzy, so I shook my head unconsciously, rubbed my temples lightly, and finally I was still a little tired.

"Palace master, you woke up, you have been sleeping since you came back from Shenshi yesterday, the imperial doctor said, you are infected with wind and cold, let you rest more, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, drink it." Jing Ling'er walked in with the medicine bowl, came to the bedside, and brought the medicine bowl in her hand to Shangguan Ye Lin.

Shangguan Ye Lin took the medicine bowl and drank it all in his mouth, unaware of the bitterness of the medicinal soup, slowly got up and walked outside the door, stepped on the snow, and made a creaking sound.

At this moment, a sharp shout sounded outside the palace gate, "The imperial concubine has arrived." ”

The sound of snow creaked, but it was like the sound of a drum, and what should have come will come after all, but I don't know what it means?

Su Yingran wore a snow-white robe, walked in slowly, a trace of cold air hit, in this magnificent palace, there would be such an aura, thinking about it, a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful face was even more enchanting at this moment.

Looking up, I saw that the queen did not apply powder, but she was still stunning, her eyes gradually collided with the queen, her eyes were indeed the most beautiful, even she looked at it, as if she had lost her soul, not to mention a man, but her whole person was so charming and cold, that people couldn't get close to half a point.

Gently moving the lotus step, he walked to the Shangguan Ye Lin, gently supported him, and saluted slowly, "I've seen the queen." ”

The sneer followed the red lips and the corners of the mouth, just a hint of it, a sneer, chilling, and said, "Should the palace let the imperial concubine get up?"

Before Su Yingran had a chance to speak, Shangguan Ye Lin had already spoken, "The imperial concubine has been favored by the emperor recently, and it seems that it is not possible for the palace to not let the imperial concubine get up." Su Yingran's eyes swept away, and he said unhurriedly: "Get up." ”

When Su Yingran heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up, smiled and said, "Queen Xie." "One day I will laugh and watch the last drop of blood shed by the people of this harem.

"My sister heard that my sister was sick, so I came to visit, my sister is better? Although my sister has lost the emperor's favor, she also has to take good care of herself, doesn't she? How could she let herself be infected with the cold?" The starry eyes nodded, and she gently pursed her lips and smiled, her honey color was beautiful, but she was pretty, and the words she said made people feel emotional.

"In the harem, the body is the most important, if the body is not good, how to compete for favor, how to give birth to a prince, and how to be a mother with a son. Su Ying's face is still the same, but she has lost the ruthlessness that is indisputable with the world, and some are only bone-eroding, distant and brilliant.

Listening to the provocative words, Shangguan Ye Lin's eyes were full of coldness, there was no longer a trace of expression on his cold face, and his deep eyes were as quiet and clear as a lake in winter, so he said quietly, "Bengong remembers that Bengong told you not to be too reckless in the harem, but Bengong really doesn't know how many people want to sit in the position of Bengong." ”

After speaking, he looked meaningfully at Su Yingran in front of him, lightly opened his lips, and exhaled like an orchid, "Ling'er, serve tea to the imperial concubine." ”

Afterwards, I saw Jing Ling'er coming with a tea cup, Shangguan Yelin took the fragrant tea in the tray and handed it to Su Yingran, and said indifferently, "This is the sun-cast snow bud, brewed with the first drop of dew in the morning, the imperial concubine may wish to taste it." ”

Su Yingran looked at the tea that was slightly overflowing with aroma in front of her, and then looked at the queen, and slowly raised her hand and was about to serve the fragrant tea in Guan Yelin's hand, but unexpectedly, the queen suddenly let go, her ink pupils shrank, and she wanted to pick it up, but finally watched the tea cup fall to the ground, the tea spilled on the white snow, and the aroma became more and more fragrant.

Looking at the tea leaves on the snow, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes glowing with a faint light suddenly looked at Shangguan Ye Lin, and smiled lightly, "Sister, this wind cold is really not light, you should let the imperial doctor prescribe a few medicines." The mockery was all in it, and if it weren't for the fact that he was not lightly ill, he would not even be able to hold a cup of tea.

The words were still in my ears, only to see Shangguan Ye Lin sneering, the jade hand lightly clasped Su Ying's chin, and said lightly, "Heavenly jealousy is forgivable, people are jealous and can't live, the imperial concubine poured the tea paid tribute from other countries on the ground, if it was the imperial concubine, what would you do?"

Looking back at Su Yingran's ink pupils, Shangguan Ye Lin's bottomless eyes were extremely cold, and she only heard her spit out coldly, "Remember, this palace is the head of these six palaces, and it is best for the imperial concubine to act in a measured manner in the future." After a pause, he said, "After all, this is not a world loved by a slut, so it's better for you to be a little more restrained." ”

After that, he let go of Su Yingran's hand, and the cold words sounded, "Stand down." He turned and walked into the inner sanctum, seemingly ignoring everything.

Su Yingran raised her eyes, looked at the disappeared figure at the entrance of the hall angrily, the cold light in her eyes flashed one after another, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her lips and teeth, "Thank you for the teachings of Queen Mother." With that, he waved his coat and turned to leave.
