Chapter 7: Big Dreams
Upon waking up, the palace was covered in snow. Through the window, looking at the pure white world of pink carving and jade outside the hall, I don't know where I am and when I am in a trance. The maid who was beside me told me that I had slept for fifteen days without the slightest snort, like a dead body. Therefore, when I opened my eyes and sat up from the bed, many people were at a loss for a while, and they were stunned in place.
"Hurry, hurry! She's awake, go and pass the word to the emperor!"
I don't know who got up, and everyone reacted immediately, and several groups of maids swarmed around me, and the degree of affection was overwhelming. I got out of the crowd in a dizzy state, lifted my forehead and asked weakly, "What is the almanac now?" Your Majesty, where is the Emperor in this palace?"
"Now is the first year of Tianyao, if you want to follow the old calendar of the Great Zhou, it is the thirteenth month of the twentieth year of Jiarui. The new emperor has only been on the throne for two days, and you fall into a coma, and you don't know it. A woman's calm and calm voice suddenly sounded on the side, not hurrying or slow, looking up, Master Jinghui was dressed in a plain and elegant Taoist robe, revealing indifference and elegance from the inside.
In the first year of Tianyao, the new emperor succeeded to the throne. I chewed on these eight words repeatedly, only to feel a chill in my heart. Noticing Jinghui's motionless gaze at me, I reluctantly smiled, "Master, does you have something to say?"
"The division did not want to stay in Chang'an, and prepared to leave for Fengming Mountain on the same day. Now I came here to say goodbye to you, a disciple for one day, a disciple for life. If you also feel that you are reluctant to let me be a master, then go back to Chaolu Temple with me. ”
Her words struck me. Maybe leaving will allow me to escape from all that in reality. I seemed to see a life-saving straw, and I just wanted to reach out to catch it, when the words that Qi Ye once said suddenly echoed in my ears: "Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land." Even if we escape, we can't escape fate."
"Master doesn't have to persuade me anymore, Gao Xiyue was born in Chang'an, even if he dies, he must be buried in this place. ”
The snow had piled up three feet thick, and it creaked when you stepped on it. There was a gloom in the Lingxi Palace, and a small sparrow fell on the branches of the ancient vines and old trees, shivering in the air that turned into ice.
The snow fell just in time to help him cover up the many sins of the slaughter of the palace that night. Do you know the bloody scene on the night of the palace dumping? The clans that participated in the Bailu Palace Rebellion were all slaughtered, if there was no snow, I am afraid that you would wake up with fear and regret when you woke up. Jinghui stood behind me, leaning over and holding up a ball of snow.
For some reason, the image of a woman in red jumping into the fire flashed in my mind, both real and illusory, but I didn't find any memory of it in my mind.
"In just fifteen days of your sleep, Chang'an has been turned upside down. The whole Zhou thought that you had passed away, and wanted to bury you with the East Palace ceremony. Yuwen Qiye, who didn't want to disappear for many days, appeared at this moment, and when he learned of your death, he led Shence to return to the palace overnight, and took your death out of the heads of everyone in the court, and captured several members of the clan headed by the king of Gongyi County who were reported to be suspicious in one fell swoop. The hundred officials then supported Yuwen Qiye to ascend the throne, but he didn't want to be on the night of the execution of the clan, and a fire in the Zichen Hall made him return to the West Heaven. Now the one who ascends the throne is the prince of the heavenly family who was supported by the Yan Kingdom, Shen Zhan. ”
Her words came to my eyes. Fire, palace tilt, golden hairpin, prisoner...... I couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were illusory in my dreams, so I clutched my chest tightly and felt a splitting headache.
Seeing me like this, Jinghui handed me a sachet and said slowly: "That's right, the night of the Zichen Palace is also the wedding night of you and Yuwen Qiye, and he used the medicine stone to make you secretly resurrect once." But the effect of the fake death pill did not wear, and you hallucinated that night and nearly killed him by mistake. If you want to remember the scene of that night, put it on the side of your bed and dream it, and you will find the answer you want in the dream......"
At three o'clock, the hall where the vermilion tent was hung was lit with red candles of double happiness of the dragon and phoenix, and the night was impermeable.
A woman dressed in a hundred phoenix courtesy clothes, with a big red hijab covering her face, sat on the dragon couch.
The eunuch behind the "emperor's ......" called lightly, it was Sijiu. Yuwen Qiye single-handedly stopped Sijiu from continuing.
Yuwen Qi walked to her side at night and stood for a long time, and the woman in the wedding dress turned into a murderous red in the deep hall, so cold that it was biting cold.
He impatiently removed her hijab, and the moment she opened her eyes to look at him, I saw her face clearly, her cold and sharp eyes were strange and familiar, and it was clearly herself.
"The emperor is going to stand like this tonight?" I laughed in my dream, and the words without temperature sounded, and I looked him up and down in a regular robe, presumptuous and arrogant.
Yuwen Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at me fixedly. It seems that this woman who has spent half his life guessing, even if he is a prisoner at this moment, he still can't understand me.
He pinched my chin and said one word at a time, cold and ruthless: "Do you know that if you provoke me, you will die." ”
I met Qi Ye's gaze and smiled: "If this is the case, I would have died thousands of times." ”
Over the years, I have been going around and around with him, and finally, I have come to this point.
"Now that Zichen Hall is guarding all the criminals of your Gao family, if you want to save them, you'd better be obedient. The fingers clutching my chin tightened as if holding a sharp dagger.
I heard myself laugh in my heart, neither of these words is worthy of the heads of the people kneeling outside.
"What does the emperor want me to do?"
"Please me. He stared at me, "Make me happy, and I'll spare them from dying." ”
I laughed and broke free from his grip, my long, inky hair falling loose, and the gold ornaments fell to the ground with a messy crunch.
The veil in the red tent trembled, and he and I regarded each other as enemies, and the familiarity of each other's bodies made them hug each other, and they were entangled in death.
"Yue'er, do you know that even if you are delirious at the moment, you can really get you completely, this time is enough!" In a daze, Qi Ye whispered softly in my ear, and I seemed to be able to feel his fiery heartbeat, which made me cry cold.
I took off the golden hairpin that he had given me on my head and asked, "How did you become the emperor? Then why am I not the queen? What am I in your heart all these years?"
His wrists were clenched violently, and the sharp hairpin was directed to his eyes. I looked at him closer, and my shadow was reflected in his dark eyes, and I was suddenly dizzy.
Outside the temple, the wind was swaying, and the arrows of the frightened bow flew in all directions, and the sound of the dwarp was terrible. In a trance, his words faintly came to his ears: "I, the emperor, will die in your hands after all." Zhaoyuan is dead, and now it's my turn...... Kill me...... Only then can we be reborn together......"
There was a sudden sound in the hall, which shook the sky. I saw me rushing out with my hair disheveled, but my behavior was not like that of ordinary people.
"Hahaha...... He finally died at my hands!hahahahaha...... In the end, I won...... Ha ha...... Hahaha!" I clutched a golden hairpin in one hand, my arm stained with scarlet blood, and laughed madly and desolately.
“…… Kurou ...... I'll kill you...... I...... Shall I accompany you?" I smiled and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears, looking at the golden hairpin as if looking at a close lover.
The wedding clothes on my body are in tatters, and there are millions of corpses lying under the jade steps. In the middle of winter, the night is cold, and there is a white crescent moon overhead.
Zigui cries blood, and the cold is thousands of miles.
"If we go to the Asura Purgatory together, we will surely be doomed...... If that's the case, we can really live and never be separated again......" I laughed again, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and it was terrifying.
I jumped up, and the Zichen Hall turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the eunuch rushed forward in shock, but was forced to retreat by the raging fire.
"Princess!" someone behind me was calling to me, and through the roaring firelight, I saw Sijiu fall to the ground, already in tears. On the other side stood Allure, a woman like poison, who won what she wanted, but in the end she lost completely.
Half of the palace was reddened by fire, and the night was faintly illuminated. The palace people rushed in surprise, and the magnificent Zichen Hall turned into ashes in front of the queen's eyes.
The solitary star in the sky fell, and the night reflected the blood scarlet. Allure looked at the raging sea of fire in front of him, and after a long time, he turned to leave.
"Scared!" "Frightened!" At the moment when Allure turned around, I suddenly woke up from my dream, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. The stab in the Zichen Hall stabbed into Qi Ye's already scarred left shoulder. The red blood covered my eyes, and Qi Ye twisted the machine under the bed with his backhand, just like the original Hanyuan Palace, and the Zichen Hall was buried in a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
It was only at this moment that I truly believed what Qin Tianjian said, the Yin and Yang Wind Fruits really coexisted with each other, just like me and Qi Ye, no one could survive if they were left behind.
I don't know how I was rescued from the fire unscathed, but I just think about it in my dreams, and I feel shocked. Qi Ye was afraid that he was seriously injured, and he couldn't escape from this raging fire, and he had done such a stupid thing as going to Huangquan alone, he had done it many times before. Stroking my slightly bulging belly, I secretly calculated that it was time for the family of three to truly reunite.
"Do you really want to go to Fengming Mountain with your teacher?" I don't know when, Jinghui appeared like a ghost again. I looked at her helplessly, and I admired her very much: "Master, what else do you command?"
"I went out of Qingxiao Gate and found that my sachet was still in you, thinking that I couldn't cheapen you, so I still came back for a walk. I didn't expect to see your stunned appearance, so I couldn't help but sympathize. ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I didn't know how to respond. Unexpectedly, she came over, and her wise gaze almost saw through me: "If you want to die, you can leave my grandson behind." ”
I wanted to cry without tears: "Master, it's not good for you to be like this. ”
Who knew that Jinghui raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said: "If you don't know it, you can quickly pack your bags and go back to Fengming Mountain with me, and I am still looking forward to the early reunion of the family of four!"
