When the sun falls, it is like a fireball falling into the clouds, burning a brilliant sunset like blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe whole palace was shrouded in the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun, and the twilight was awesome.

The chamberlain pushed open the heavy door and knelt respectfully on either side of the door. The crown prince Li Jin walked out of the hall in a plain robe, his face solemn.

Guards in armor on the steps bow on one knee. Li Jin looked at the moonlight gradually rising on the eaves of the palace with his back on his back. Soon, a general dressed in the armor of the Forbidden Army Commander quickly climbed the steps and knelt in front of him with his fists clenched.

Li Jin pulled him up and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you found it yet?" ”

"Back to Your Highness." The general Zhengse said, "The generals of the East Palace have just taken over the forbidden army, and now they have ordered the palace gate to be blocked, as long as the things are still in this palace, we will turn the palace around, and we will definitely find the things." ”

"All the palace people in the Immortal Fan Hall must be strictly guarded, and they must not leak the slightest rumor."

"Just." The leader nodded and hesitated, "Your Highness, the noble concubine Niangniang didn't know who got the news, and now she is cleaning up Your Majesty's harem on a large scale, and several Niangniang have been given to death. ”

Li Jin was shocked, and then shouted angrily: "What did you say?!" This wicked woman. In a fit of rage, he blurted out disrespectful remarks about his mother. The general was stunned, but he didn't care, and after calming down, he thoughtfully instructed, "You go, someone will detain Han Liuzhi for me." The herald ordered Feng Chengzi to quietly take down Han Lin and take over the right guard army in his hands. ”

The general received the order and strode away. Li Jin looked up at the sky, his face was as gloomy and unpredictable as the sky.

At this moment, the Shouyang Hall was extremely noisy, and Gu Guifei was eating fruit while admiring the concubine who was about to die after being beaten by the cane. The concubines who were scolded by the cane were all young and beautiful, and they were deeply favored by Li Chengxun, and they were jealous of her.

She had killed two, and now she was the third. Seeing the scene of flesh and blood flying, even a few of the attendants who were scolded by the staff trembled a little. Gu Guifei laughed when she saw it, and said loudly: "Hit me, hit harder, harder." ”

The concubine didn't last long, and she lost her breath. Gu Guifei swept her interest, and hurriedly turned her head to ask the attendant nearby, "Why hasn't Xie Liuhong arrived yet?" ”

The waiter bowed down and replied cautiously: "Niangniang, Xie Zhaorong has been summoned several times, but he just said that he was sick in bed. ”

Gu Guifei raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "What a boldness, this palace wants to see her, and she still dares to come, you group of waste, won't you pull her off the bed to see me?" ”

"Yes, sissy." The waiter was yelled at by her, and he fell to his knees in fright and kowtowed frequently.

While she was reprimanding, Li Jin pushed the door in without notifying, saw that her mother did not salute, looked around at the blood on the ground, and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”

Gu Guifei didn't feel that it was inappropriate, she stood up with a smile on her face, and said courteously: "Wu'er is here, it's hard work." It's nothing, the emperor died suddenly, and the emperor is about to ascend the throne, I just help your father cook the harem, so as to help you make room for the newcomer. ”

Li Jin glanced at her coldly, let her hand stretch over, and asked in a deep voice: "How does Mother know that the Emperor has been killed?" ”

Gu Guifei, who was wrapped in a gorgeous and bloated palace dress, was not as bulky as she looked, and twisted her waist dexterously and smiled: "How can I not know that I died as the emperor of the concubine?" ”

Li Jin snorted coldly, then smiled coldly: "Then do you know how my father died?" ”

Gu Guifei heard a hint of hostility in his words, was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry laugh: "Of course, he was seriously ill and died." ”

Li Jin suddenly said heavily: "He was killed by me with a quilt." ”

Gu Guifei's face changed, and she shouted in a low voice: "The emperor must not be presumptuous and nonsense!" As she spoke, she looked around at the palace people, and the palace people all trembled in horror.

Li Jin stared at his angry mother, and his defiant and rebellious eyes shot at her naked like a knife. He shook his sleeves and shouted, "Lock up all the people in the palace of Shouyang Palace." ”

The guards at the door received the order, and they responded in unison, the sound was like a bell, and the momentum was terrifying. A trace of panic flashed in Gu Guifei's eyes, and when only their mother and son were left in the hall, she smiled and said: "It's still the emperor's clean move, this world is ours, and it's not the same thing for the emperor to die early or late." ”

Li Jin ignored it, sat down with his clothes, ignored the prince's appearance, twisted the fruit on the plate, and asked faintly while chewing: "Why didn't I see Xiaoquanzi's minions today?" ”

Gu Guifei was intimidated by her son's majestic momentum just now, restrained some of her arrogant and domineering temper in the past, showed a bit of a motherly attitude, and brought a few plates of snacks to him. When the plate was handed to him, Li Jin didn't raise his hand, he just kept chewing, and his appearance was extremely indecent. Although the concubine was displeased, she no longer dared to offend the future emperor, so she had to change her doting tone: "Be careful to eat, don't choke, drink some water, and be careful of scalding." ”

"Mother hasn't answered me yet?" Li Jin didn't eat his set, and continued to ask.

Gu Guifei's face stiffened, and she smiled very well: "I sent them out of the palace to do some business, but they haven't come back yet, and they don't know where to go to play, and they will definitely be punished when they come back." ”

"Really?" Li Jin raised his head, leaned softly on the back of the chair, sat casually, squinted at her rudely, and smiled gloomily: "That's right, I asked my mother to recognize a few people, do you know their identities?" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the guards dragged the four dead bodies in front of her, and she screamed in fright and ordered them to carry them down.

Li Jin sneered, pointed to the two dead bodies dressed as palace maids on the left, and said, "Mother is getting old, and her memory is getting worse and worse." Let the retainers remind you that one of these two girls is the combing palace maid in your palace, and the other is the incense palace maid. He pointed to the corpses dressed as two eunuchs and said, "There are also two eunuchs, one is Xiao Quanzi and the other is Xiao Anzi, isn't it?" ”

Gu Guifei bent over and looked at their faces, covering her nose with her sleeves in disgust, her eyes dodging, and deliberately evaded: "It's like meat mud like this, where can you recognize it, isn't it a mistake?" ”

"Mother!" Li Jin said sharply, "Everyone is dying in front of you, you still have to deny it, although these four people are dressed as eunuchs and palace maids, they are all full of male bodies, but they are delicate in appearance and small in bones, which is difficult for others to see through at a glance." You're surrounded by these people, Mother, and after all these years, you're still so shameless. ”

"I was deceived by them, too." Gu Guifei hurriedly argued.

"Shut up!" Li Jin shouted angrily, his eyes emitting a fierce light. Gu Guifei was yelled at by him, and she supported the table with her hand before she could stabilize herself.

"They have confessed to their father. Do you know that your father has heard of your immorality? Immediately fainted in anger, and when he woke up, he hurriedly drafted an edict to give you death and depose me. If I hadn't learned the news in time and struck first, my great cause would have been ruined at the hands of a shameless woman. Li Jin angrily rebuked.

Gu Guifei looked stunned and refused to admit it, the two were in a stalemate, and the waiter outside the door respectfully came to report, it turned out that Xie Liuhong had arrived.

Gu Guifei just took this opportunity to change the topic, and hurriedly ordered: "Bring her in." ”

Li Jin didn't stop it, he just stood aside with his hands in his hands, and let the palace maids bring Xie Liuhong to the palace.

Xie Liuhong was wearing a bedgown, his hair was not combed, his face was not powdered, he was sickly, his eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was haggard, obviously he was pulled off the bed by the palace people in a serious illness.

She was not flustered when she saw the concubine, she was not shocked when she saw the corpse on the ground, she was still neither humble nor arrogant, and she knelt down and saluted calmly.

Li Jin saw that she was quite slow to move, and he was kind enough to give her a seat.

Gu Guifei regained her grandeur of being in charge of the Six Palaces, sat on a high position, and asked loudly, "Xie Zhaorong, are you guilty?" ”

Xie Liuhong put his hands on his laps, his thin back straightened, and replied indifferently: "The concubine is not guilty." ”

Gu Guifei said angrily: "You used your fox charm to confuse the emperor, so that the emperor was nostalgic for women, and the dragon body was wasted, so that the sick body lingered and could not be cured for a long time." Do you still dare to claim innocence? ”

Xie Liuhong was sick, and although he was weak, he said categorically: "That's just speculation by the little people in the palace, I met His Majesty in poetry, although we are husband and wife, we are confidants." How can others know that I and His Majesty answer each other's poems and texts, and Qin Se and Ming know each other. He insulted my friendship with His Majesty with these evil words. ”

Gu Guifei was angry, angry and jealous: "Bold, what is your identity, how can you become a confidant with Your Majesty." ”

Xie Liuhong said indifferently: "The concubine said, this is a matter between me and Your Majesty, and it is difficult for others to know." She stood up suddenly, bowed to the concubine, and said decisively: "The concubine knows that His Majesty is now dying, and she also knows the disgust of the concubine. The concubine's parents have both died, and His Majesty is the concubine's only relative. His Majesty had promised to leave the imperial decree and wait for him to leave the palace and marry freely after a hundred years. But the concubine was unwilling to leave His Majesty, and the concubine was ready to judge herself when His Majesty died, and she didn't want to let the concubine go today. The concubine earnestly gave the concubine a death, and after her death, she asked the concubine to allow the concubine to accompany the tomb and stay by His Majesty's side forever. After saying that, she prostrated again to show her decision.

Gu Guifei looked at her in some surprise, and was about to grant her invitation. Li Jin instructed: "Come on, please Xie Zhaorong go down, serve well, and don't slack off." He turned to reassure her with a kind face, "Zhaorong should not do this, if His Majesty knew, he would definitely not agree." Please also take care of your body, don't be too sad. ”

Xie Liuhong replied with a faint thanks, and slowly left with the support of the palace people.

Gu Guifei's cheeks were red, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" What does this slut leave her to do? ”

Li Jin said coldly: "Don't call her a slut, at least she is more loyal than you." ”

Gu Guifei finally couldn't bear to reprimand under her son's rudeness three or four times: "Presumptuous! Even if you ascend to the throne, I will still be your mother, what about your gift of benevolence and filial piety? How can you speak so indiscriminately. ”

"Mother?" Li Jin looked sarcastic, "Erchen has long wanted to ask you, but the Gu family is also a poetry and book heirloom, and the fourth aunt who is the same mother as you is a world-famous talented girl, who can compose poems at the age of four and write essays at the age of seven." The second aunt also adhered to women's morality, and after Lin Hou died, she remained a widow for 17 years and never remarried. But why are you so lascivious? Back then, my father fought for the emperor, you and I were separated from my father, in order to save your life, you did a terrible thing with that general, you forgot that I didn't forget! ”

Gu Guifei was ashamed and annoyed, and shouted: "I am also for you, the situation was so critical back then, you and my mother and son were in trouble, how can we return to Your Majesty safely if there is no one to help." I have suffered a great shame for you, but it has become a word of shame for you to dishonor your mother. Saying that, she actually raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, looking cold and painful.

Her teary eyes were pitiful and ridiculous. Li laughed again and again as if watching an ugly drama: "Why do you bother to pretend in front of me, although I was young at that time, I already remembered." You and that will be prostituting in the day without shying away from it, and how can you care about my life or death? If it weren't for Shu Jieyu's secret help and feeding me the food she begged for every day, I would have starved to death. After saying that, he became more and more cold, full of hatred, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

"Or for Shuli." Gu Guifei slapped the table and shouted loudly, with a wave of her sleeves, all the dishes on the table were brushed to the ground, "I don't know what you think about her." She is such a demonic daughter, she deceived the emperor and bewitched you. Why do you still believe her lies about slandering your mother? ”

"I don't allow you to slander her like that." Li Jin grabbed her wrist and twisted her to the ground, "You and the general, I can tolerate the prime minister*** and the drama of pretending to be a eunuch and palace maid." Although it is disgusting to think about your filthy body to serve my father. But after all, it is a private matter between you husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with me. If you can be your concubine in peace, I will also live and support you for a long time. But you are afraid that she will leak your ugly things, deliberately charge her with uncleanness, and force her to embark on the road of self-judgment of the virtuous concubine back then, but it is an indelible pain for me for the rest of my life. I hate you so much, Mother! ”

The light of hatred in his eyes made her shudder, she shivered, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't listen to the slander of the villain, how can I ......"

"You still don't admit it!" Li Jin grabbed her by the collar and threw her up in the chair, and said angrily, "What did the father find?" So what do I see? What are the palace people in Shouyang Palace? Before Brother Bo was given to die, he personally identified Shu Jieyu as the one you framed. Do you want me to show you his confession? ”

Gu Guifei was half-lying in the chair, supporting her back, tears flowed in pain, and cried: "Shu Jieyu is just an outsider, I am your biological mother." Even if there is a big mistake, you can't ......"

"I dare to kill even my father, do you think I will show mercy to your subordinates?" He stood up, squinted contemptuously, and sneered, "Mother? How much more have you ever had half a heart of love for me? You and the prime minister secretly communicated with each other, and wanted to wait for your father's emperor to join forces, with the help of the Chu family and the Gu family, to be the regent of the dynasty and be Lu Pheasant Wuxiao. You are afraid that I will not obey you, so you desperately try to make a child. In order to prevent you from taking your young grandson to the throne, I have not had a child in my thirties. It's a pity that you are already old, and there are many palace people in the harem who are in their youth, and my father is sick and weak all these years, and the affairs of the court have exhausted him, and he is really not very interested in your flattery, so you try your best to fornicate with the prime minister and these lowly plays. My father sprinkled half of his life's hard work on the previous dynasty, and he was also weak, and he was very loose in his control of the harem, and even deceived by you for many years, you not only killed many of his favorite concubines, beat out many of his unborn children, but also conspired with Wan Qingrou to kill his favorite Queen Qi. There is probably no more vicious woman in the world than you. ”
