Chapter 6: Dedication

Faced with countless pairs of questioning eyes, I was helpless for a while, and could only keep shaking my head. Suddenly, the bed on my side sank down, and then I fell into a warm embrace, raised my head, Qi Ye was hugging me tightly, one hand gently took the golden hairpin I was holding, and the blood flowed on his hand.

In front of everyone, he hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear, "It's okay, don't be afraid." I'm still here. ”

I curled up in his arms, staring at the people standing motionless with two eyes, and when King Gongyi saw this, he stepped forward two steps closer and said earnestly: "The old minister and the others seem to have heard that Your Majesty is happy in the outer room, I don't know if it is serious?" Your Majesty, your phoenix body is not good, if you are pregnant with a fetus in your womb, you must be cautious. It is not a pity for the imperial doctor to die, but what His Majesty is in the womb is the hope of the future of the Gao family, and it is also the hope of the future of the Great Zhou. ”

"Your Majesty's hysteria has recurred, and the daily political affairs in the Zichen Palace are busy, so it is better to stay in the Lingxi Palace to recuperate. As for whether His Majesty is pregnant with a fetus in his womb, it is still inconclusive. The king's words were premature. Qi Ye's calm voice sounded impartially, making the entire dormitory suddenly quiet.

King Gongyi's face became a little embarrassed: "This king remembers that once upon a time, some people were very eager for His Majesty to give birth to a prince for the Great Zhou. Sima Zhao's heart, this king doesn't know, I'm afraid the world also knows!"

"Shut up in the palace!" I was so annoyed by the cynicism of King Gongyi that I roared violently, so frightened that everyone in the hall except Yuwen Qiye fell to the ground with their heads bowed down and fell to the ground, and they didn't dare to make another sound. "Stand down, just have the regent with you." ”

"Yes......"

The crowd dispersed, and the dormitory returned to its former calm, or rather, the silent calm before the storm.

"I've had your child, and you're happy now, why don't you want to admit it?" I tore off the musk bag on the bed, shaking violently all around. "What more do you want? I'll give it all to you now!" he said, throwing the bag on his body, but his wrist suddenly lost any strength at this moment.

"Enough, it's enough!" Qi Ye grabbed me and gently patted my back with his hand to soothe my unstable emotions, "If Yuwen Qiye loses you one day, it will be nothing! Yue'er, believe me! You don't want our children to become puppets of the imperial power, and I don't want others to hurt your mother and son because of this, now only I am standing on the top of ten thousand people to have the ability to protect you!"

"But, Qi Ye, we can't pay off these grievances and karmic debts for the rest of our lives......"

Qi Ye hugged me tighter: "Why do you want to pay it back? As long as there is you in hell, I am willing to go if you are burned in the fire!"

I grabbed him tightly and said, "There are still my father and my brother in hell! You teach me how to face them, face the ancestors of the Gao family? One day Gao Xiyue becomes a traitor to the royal family, I am afraid that it will only be doomed, let alone the child in my womb!"

"You're shaking......" Qi Ye sighed, "Talking such nonsense, I'm afraid it's hysteria going to start again." I'll feed you to drink the medicine and rest early, you don't need to think about these problems anymore, leave them to me, okay? No matter how many evil obstacles you have, I will carry them for you!"

What is the cause of evil? There are eight hardships in life, tossing and turning, and desires are born. In the grand view of three thousand red dusts, Yuwen Qi's desire for the night is love and hate, and he is willing to go to the Yellow Spring alone for love, and he can never recover for hate. There is no reason why I should not love such a man, even unforgettable. Pretending to be crazy and stupid for a few months, but I couldn't step out of the hurdle I set for myself, and after I left that day, I was not as angry as I imagined, and I was even happy that Qi Ye finally got something that might have belonged to him. This kind of joy makes me fearful, and I can't betray the royal family. But perhaps, I can betray myself.

Finally, I did. Then I found out that what awaited me in the end was endless killings and nightmares.

On the twenty-second day of October in the twentieth year of Jiarui, King Liang raised an army and united the two major vassal states of Qi and Chu to launch a rebellion with Kuang Zheng Guozuo, but in fact he was dissatisfied with the regent Yuwen Qi's control of the government and weakened the power of the clan vassal king. "On the side of the Qing monarch, the family is wrong" was played, which then caused a scuffle between the clan and the family. The territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom was bloody for a while, and Qi Ye sat on the Xuanshu Hall for nine days and nine nights, and finally decided to personally lead the Shence army to the south on the third day of the next month to quell the rebellion of the princes.

In the winter of the same year, the regent seized the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu in one fell swoop, plotted against the prince of the country, and captured the culprit of the rebellion, King Liang. The rabbit died and the dog cooked, the rebellious princes were immediately beheaded by the regent in the army, and one of the three major feudal states was incorporated into the jurisdiction of the neighboring state capital, and the rest were newly established as states, named "Shao".

Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, the rest of the vassal states saw this and expressed their surrender one after another, and they had no second thoughts. Seeing the withering of the clan and the shaking of the country, the regent turned the tide at the time of danger and went south to win the hearts of many people in the military camp and the people. But what is puzzling is that after the victory of the regent Shence's army, he did not return to the court, but turned around and went west. The border of Xisai was sealed by heavy snow, and the imperial court cut off contact with it for a while, and did not receive any news from Shence for half a month.

The Xuanmur Hall has been making a lot of trouble every morning these days, and the regent's delay in returning to the court has caused countless conjectures from hundreds of officials. One faction is worried about the safety of the gods, and if the affairs of the court are not presided over by Yuwen Qiye, it will be like a group of dragons without a leader, and the other faction is worried that the regent has bad intentions, and if the wolf son is ambitious and returns to his former base camp, he may not be controlled by the imperial court, and will eventually cause a catastrophe like the Xiao family.

I shrank on the special phoenix seat on the high platform, watched through the shaking curtains, watched the chaos on the main hall become a pot of porridge, lazily yawned, and hugged the otter tighter.

"I'm afraid the princess has taken effect. Allure leaned forward from behind, "If you fall asleep, I will call someone to help you go down to rest, these old masters are all nonsense, and the ninth master will come back in a few days." ”

I chuckled, "You know him better than I do." ”

Allure was stunned, noticing a subtle change in my originally calm face, and suddenly pulled out a strange smile at me: "That's nature." Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to make such an impudent request to you. ”

"That's what I remember, and you don't have to remind me day or night. I said.

Allure: "You don't care about that. Aren't you afraid that if you promise me, I will harm the entire Great Zhou? To be honest, Allure really wants to see if it's me. ”

"You don't dare. I interrupted her lightly, "unless you want to live a life of exile again." In the whole world, now you only have this deep palace where you live. ”

When Allure heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at me with an unpredictable expression for a long time, and said with interest: "Sometimes I really can't tell if you are a real illness or a fake illness. The mandala is not as capricious as you are when used on anyone, and I don't know if it has caused you to have some phantom dreams. It was a little surprising to see you like this. ”

"It's like a dream, can you say that you are really awake now?true or false, why bother?" The bead curtain shook in front of my eyes, making the crowd in the main hall turn into a blurred shadow in my eyes, and time passed, and finally became a blank, "Life is like a white horse passing by for decades, and the most brilliant is only a few years." If you wake up one day, I am afraid that death is not far away. ”

A maid came to help me to rest in the side hall, and the voice of Allure slowly sounded behind me: "Death is a relief. I am afraid that death is a kind of dream awakening, and I don't know how to let go of it at that time. ”

"You are afraid of death, you are greedy for red dust, and so it is. "Leave these words, and I will leave without looking back. Thankfully, I have something more fearful and coveted than Allure, and it comes from a place, and that man is on his way to me.

The first snow fell in Chang'an since the beginning of winter this year, and the fine snow mixed with the rain fell one after another, falling all over the ground and melting into icy water stains. The earth dragon ignited in the Zichen Palace, and my drowsiness increased day by day, almost unable to support me to finish the routine recital. Allure offered me a pill that it said had a rejuvenating effect, and sniffing its familiar taste, I smiled without saying a word, and swallowed it on my back.

"The ninth master arrived in Chang'an tonight, and the princess will rest early after approving the fold. When you wake up, you will see a new world. "Allure added a note of rosin to the candlelight in front of my desk, and the side of his face shimmered in the dim light with a soft light that had not been seen for a long time, which was extremely moving, with some kind of deadly temptation, and his eyes hid countless secrets that surfaced slightly.

I stared at her for a moment, feeling more and more weak in my limbs and blurry in my vision. Allure's appearance turned into three in my eyes, and when I looked at it in a trance, it became more and more unreal.

"The princess said that you have long since lost sight of reality and dreams. In Allure's eyes, there should be a conclusion between truth and falsehood, and reality and dreams should not be confused. In fact, Allure has always been jealous of the princess, I have the same beauty as you, but because of the difference in identity, I went to two different paths. I don't blame anyone for your ancestors who have caused me to be displaced from my people, but I am only jealous of you! The princess has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so long, and it is time to wake up. Didn't you say that cruelty is to tear apart the beauty in people's hearts?Princess, tomorrow you will taste the taste of waking up from a great dream......"
