Through the smoke rising from the stove, Sima Lie could vaguely see the gentle smile of the concubine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sima Lie muttered: Mother, what should Lie'er do?

The smoke cleared, and Sima Lie's outstretched hand slowly fell.

Thoughts go back to the night many years ago......

At that time, I was about six or seven years old. He was riding on a wooden horse and shouted loudly: Ride, ride...... Wielding a long wooden sword in his hand, his small body draped the cloak of the concubine over his body.

It looks like a victorious general. Duanmu Xiu'er asked with a smile: "Ah Lie, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Sima Lie patted his chest and said, "Erchen wants to be a general." It can protect the mother concubine. Don't let the emperor and other mothers bully the mother concubine. ”

Duanmu Xiu'er's eyes flashed with tears of relief, touched Sima Lie's head and said, "It's still our Ah Lie who is the most intimate." ”

Sima Lierou's whirring arm hugged Duanmu Xiu'er with his backhand, patted Duanmu Xiu'er's back soothingly, and said in a milky voice: "Mother concubine don't be sad, Ah Lie will always be by the mother's side." ”

Duanmu Xiu'er lowered her head and kissed Sima Lie's head, holding him tightly in her arms.

For as long as he can remember, his mother has always looked preoccupied, often looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard in a daze, or looking at the blue sky and sighing softly.

Even when his father came, he looked cold and detached.

In my memory, the mother concubine was a stunning woman with an indifferent expression. But people can't take their eyes off it.

I remember once he asked his mother: Mother, why do the nine brothers have grandparents?

The corners of Duanmu Xiu'er's mouth pursed a sweet smile, and said: Our Ah Lie also has a grandfather and grandmother. It's just that the mother and mother of the concubine are far away. What if you take a carriage? It takes three months to get to the capital?

The mother concubine also said that the mother concubine's hometown is the most beautiful place in the world, where the four seasons are like spring, the flowers are full of flowers, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and there is freedom......

As she spoke, Duanmu Xiu'er's voice gradually turned from elation to depression.

Sima Lie replied like a little adult: Mother, don't be sad. Ah Lie has grown up, is it good to take his mother back to his hometown. Ah Lie wants to see his grandparents. Ah Lie will miss his mother very much if he doesn't see him for a day, so he must miss his mother when he leaves him.

Looking at Sima Lie's tongue-twister-like words, Duanmu Xiu'er's tears slipped down like beads of broken threads. Thinking that even if the longing becomes a disease, as long as Ah Lie is there, then everything will be worth it.

At the end, Duanmu Xiu'er solemnly admonished: Ah Lie, promise your mother that you will not let the war burn in your mother's hometown in the future, okay?

Although Sima Lie didn't understand it at that time, he still nodded sensibly. That is the hometown that the mother misses, that is what the mother cherishes, and he will definitely not.

"It's not good, the queen is coming to us. A worried voice came.

Duanmu Xiu'er rubbed Sima Lie's head and said, "Ah Lie, let's play a game and play hide." No matter what happens for a while, you can't come out or you'll lose. If she loses, the mother will be unhappy. ”

Sima Lie nodded and said yes, looked at it carefully, and finally chose to hide behind the curtain. He wanted to see if his mother couldn't find his eager appearance, Sima Lie thought nostalgically.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed with gold. Duanmu Xiu'er bowed.

Sima Lie looked at the imperial lady who came in full costume, and looked at the concubine with a little pride and joy in her angry eyes. shouted loudly: "Qing Concubine, are you guilty?"

Huang Eniang is the most hated person in the palace. She always troubles her mother and makes her mother cry. But the little Sima Lie was a little afraid of her. Because the emperor always looks serious and never smiles.

"The concubine didn't know what crime she had committed, which made the mother so angry. Duanmu Xiu'er looked at the extremely gorgeous woman in front of her with her eyes. There was no timidity.

"Foxy stuff. Committing such a shameless thing, and still not repenting? Someone, bring me a witness. The empress's majestic voice rang out.

The queen is the lord of the harem, and she knows that the emperor cannot belong to her alone. So she can allow the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, but she can't allow the emperor to be emotional about a woman.

The rebellious woman in front of her who has a face that has brought disaster to the country and the people and relies on her own posture. How could she occupy the emperor's heart? She was the empress of Izumo, the only wife of the emperor.

The one who was pressed up by the guards was Duanmu Xiu'er's personal maid.

"Your handmaid accuses you of having an affair with the guards. Do you admit this?" said the queen condescendingly.

"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. Duanmu Xiu'er raised her delicate face and replied coldly.

"Now that there are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it? Sure enough, it is a foreign woman, and it is really shameless. The queen's voice was full of disdain.

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. The queen does not have to use this as a means to frame the innocence of the concubine. The innocence of the concubines, the emperor understands in his heart. Duanmu Xiu'er said coldly.

"Do you really want to move out of the emperor to suppress the palace if you don't enter the coffin and shed tears?"

Leaned over and attached to Duanmu Xiu'er's ear and said, "Your Majesty went to Anguo Temple to pray for blessings." I can't come back today. If you are sensible, this palace can consider letting go of that evil seed. ”

The Queen's eyes gestured to the back of the curtain.

Duanmu Xiu'er's face changed, and she said dejectedly: "The concubine is guilty." ”

The queen nodded in satisfaction, and motioned for the eunuch to bring a tray with daggers, poison, and white silk on it.

"Pick your own. Although the queen's voice was soft, it was like a Hades urging her life.

Duanmu Xiu'er looked at Sima Lie behind the curtain, gritted her teeth and held the delicate jade porcelain bottle in her hand.

In the end, it is the wealth of the heavenly family, and even the poison that stabbed to death is contained in such a chic Jingdezhen porcelain.

"I hope that the mother will be true to her word. Duanmu Xiu'er looked at the queen fixedly, and without frowning, she raised her head and drank all the poison.

Death, she had never feared. But she can't let go of Ah Lie, and she can't let go of her hometown thousands of miles away.

Today is the day of liberation.

Seeing this, the queen chuckled and led the people away.

The emperor, who was supposed to return tomorrow, rushed back overnight, only saw the last side of Duanmu Xiu'er.

Duanmu Xiu'er lay in the emperor's arms and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Your Majesty, Xiu'er has never asked you for anything. For Xiu'er's sake, she's going to die. Please be sure to promise me. ”

The emperor choked up and nodded, "Xiu'er, I won't let you die." If you die, I will have the hospital give you a burial. ”

"After Xiu'er leaves, I hope you don't pity Ah Lie. Send him to the barracks at the border pass. Promise me to protect our Ah Lie, okay?" Duanmu Xiu'er said angrily. The hand was surprisingly strong, holding the emperor's hand tightly.

The emperor nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Xiu'er, I promise you." Promise you......"

Before the words fell, Duanmu Xiu'er's hand that was holding it loosely drooped.

Sima Lie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, he had never forgotten the hatred of his mother. Carved in the bones, melted into the blood.

Therefore, even after suffering in the barracks, he never had any resentment. He knew that it was the concubine's life in exchange.

With the expectation of his mother's deathbed, he practiced when others were resting, and he practiced when others were playing. That's why there was a killing god on the battlefield later, and there were great military exploits.

His dreams, his stability, and his life all come from that woman named Duanmu Xiu'er. The mother concubine who hurt him to the bone. The mother concubine who didn't forget to arrange a way back for him even when she died.

How dare you make him forget such hatred?
