Shi Shi held the jade pendant and stepped into the palace gate of King Wu's palace with Zheng Dan.

He leaned against the throne with extremely narrow eyes, and those eyes were so beautiful that he looked incomprehensible. It's hard to imagine such a man killing people on the battlefield.

Together with Shi Shi and Zheng Dan, Yue Guo sent a total of eight beauties.

Eight beauties came and knelt on the ground. The first sight of the husband belonged to Zheng Dan, and the second sight was Shi Shi.

He walked over and reached out to pull Shi Shi up. "This beauty is very fond of it, what's its name?"

Shi Shi raised his head to look at him and said softly: "The surname is Shi, and the name is Yiguang." ”

It turns out that it is such a simple and light thing to do the red face and troubled water, and it only needs the same preference as the king covering the water.

It doesn't matter that a weak woman can't take up arms. Her beauty can be used as a weapon, and even □□.

Shi Shi became her husband's favorite concubine, and Zheng Dan, who was usually equal in beauty to her, was dimmed by her light at this time.

Shi Shi didn't know how long she had been in this illusion, and before she knew it, the people of Wu had already begun to call her a curse.

In fact, the world's views on women are also different, Shi Shi sometimes looks at the face in the bronze mirror and thinks like this. She is a disaster in the eyes of the Wu people, but she is a woman in the hearts of Yue people.

The day Zheng Dan died was the last day of winter, and spring was about to begin, but her body failed to survive until spring after all.

Lying on the hospital bed/, she was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. Shi Shi has always regarded himself as a spectator, and when he saw the beauty of the ice muscle and jade bones in the past become like this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

She sat on the edge of Zheng Dan's bed and held Zheng Dan's hand: "What do you think...... Is it worth it? ”

Zheng Dan smiled weakly, and even the temperature of his palm became so shallow.

"That's kind of a ...... For the ...... of the country And ...... dead"

She was so weak that she gasped for breath before she could say a few words. Lying on the bed/, she used her last strength to hold Shi Shi's hand: "Xi Shi...... They all thought I was here for the Yue Kingdom...... You know...... Only you know ......"

Shi Shi nodded, "Yes, I know." ”

If there is finally someone who knows, then her life is not very sloppy. Zheng Dan looked at the top of his head with a blank gaze, and his voice was fluttering: "I know...... He will come to you one day...... You...... Why don't you sue him for me...... Zheng Dan...... Zheng Dan has no regrets......"

After saying this, she closed her eyes, Shi Shi tearfully put her hand back into the brocade quilt, choked up and said, "Don't worry." ”

Zheng Dan admires Fan Li, such an obscure and obvious thing.

She thought no one knew, but everyone knew. Therefore, the most pitiful thing about women is infatuation, and the rest can be cured, but this is the only one, there is no cure.

Zheng Dan's body was transported back to the Yue Kingdom, or Shi Shi begged for grace for her. When sending her out of the palace gate, Shi Shi raised his hand to untie the white jade and put it in the coffin.

She muttered, "It's yours, probably better than following me." ”

Seeing Zheng Dan's coffin leave, Shi Shi felt a kind of desolation in his heart. There are various explanations for Xi Shi's ending in the history books, and everyone seems to prefer her to leave Fan Li in the end. But she felt that there was probably no good end.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. The revival of a nation requires countless people to stain it with blood.

Time flies, is it a watery year or a bloody sin flowing from the fingers?

And then?

Shi Shi couldn't remember it clearly.

Maybe I deliberately didn't want to remember.

When the husband came to bid her farewell with a sword, she knew that Yiqiē had come to an end.

The husband smiled at her, as if those wars were all non-existent.

He stroked her face and whispered, "Xi Shi, in fact, I have always known. At first, I just wanted to see what Yue Guo wanted to do, but in the end, I found that I really couldn't get out......"

"You shouldn't sue me." Shi Shi turned her head, tears fell involuntarily. She didn't know why she was crying, history always seemed strikingly similar, and many of the kings of the dead country were infatuated.

The husband stood behind her and chuckled. "You're crying for me...... I was a little happy at this point. It's a pity that I can't give you what I want to give for a long time. ”

That was the last time Shi Shi shed tears as Xi Shi entered the palace of King Wu.

Half a month after her husband said goodbye to her, the news came that he would kill himself. It is said that the scene was quite poignant, and the king who wanted to work for other countries for a long time died after all.

The palace of King Wu was quickly breached, and Fan Li was the first to rush in.

After so many years, the former jade gentleman is inevitably tempered by time, and the gray gray between his hair is slightly revealed. The years crept up into the corners of his eyes, changing the vicissitudes of his old face.

He was very happy to see Shi Shi. Holding her hand, his palm was hot: "Xi Shi, I'll take you away." I am no longer an official, and from now on, we will all be together. ”

He was finally able to fulfill his promise.

Fan Li took Shi Shi all the way back to Yueguo, and it was still the ramie village. The people of the year died and walked away, only this river and stream, and the stream is still clear.

Looking back on half a life of prosperity, it has been full of vicissitudes when I returned. It's all the footprints of time.

In the village, Shi Shi saw Zheng Dan's tomb, and there was a circle of weeds growing on the side of her grave, which looked a little desolate. Shi Shi squatted down/pulled the weeds, and Fan Li also squatted down. He stretched out his hand, but was stopped by Shi Shi.

"Let's go."

"Shih Tzu ......"

Shi Shi raised his head and looked at him quietly, knowing that this was an illusion, but his emotions were so real, as if he had really spent his life here.

"You have taken me back to Vietnam, and you can be regarded as fulfilling your promise."

Fan Li looked at her deeply: "Are you resentful of me, you sent you to the Wu Kingdom in the first place?" I didn't think I'd like you, but by the time I realized it, it was too late. ”

"Say no more." She didn't want to listen to it anymore, and after many years, there was no need to explain many things.

Even if there is nothing to do, it is abandonment. If this is the case, who can turn back?

Fan Li accompanied Shi Shi in the village for three days, and after three days, when the king's decree came down, he had to leave for a short time. When he said goodbye to Shi Shi, he still had longing in his eyes, "When I come back, let's go." ”

Shi Shi didn't speak, and watched him leave. If I do come back, I'll talk about it then.

Not long after Fan Li left, the queen came. Not only did he come, but he also brought a lot of hands with him.

Shi Shi was kneeling in front of Zheng Dan's grave at that time, and when she heard the movement, she stood up and turned back. "I knew you'd come."

The queen approached step by step, after so many years, she no longer looked complex, but the momentum and dignity on her body became more and more calm. "You have ruined the country of Wu with your own strength. The king loves your complexion, but I can't keep you. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"This face...... It's what all women want...... I heard that when a woman is called a scourge dies, she usually carries resentment. The best thing to do is to skin her and separate her flesh for security. When it comes to reincarnation, resentment will not be brought over. ”

Such a vicious idea...... Shi Shi couldn't help but take a step back: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

The queen shook her head, the smile on her face was still cheerful, she actually felt relieved of her hatred. "How can I be afraid, if there is really retribution, even if he comes to me, I am not afraid!"

It was like going through hell. Shi Shi clearly felt that his skin and flesh were being stripped away. At first, you can still feel pain, and finally the pain will be numb, and even collapse.

The queen ordered her skin to be peeled off, and her flesh/body was buried on the spot, and the skin on her face was taken away by the queen.

The texture of her body was sewn together, filled with stones, and then thrown into the water.

The water of this river is as clear as before, the winter is over, and the spring flowers are about to bloom, but why is this river still so cold, it seems to freeze everything in the world.

When Fan Li returned to Lai Luo Village, Shi Shi's body had been dismembered, and all he could see was a pool of blood on the ground, and the slightly raised tomb that she had hastily buried.

The eldest husband doesn't shed tears, but at this moment he is so painful that he can't help crying.

Two graves were erected in Ramie Village, and two women who devoted their lives to the Yue Kingdom were buried here. The coldest word in the world.

Fan Li did not return to Yueguo, he felt that he should have left a long time ago. If he had left the moment he received Xi Shi, would such a tragedy not have happened?

Shi Shi opened his eyes again and found that he was still sitting in the Qianjin Building, a cup of tea in front of him had just been filled, and there was still curling heat.

Huangliang is a dream, nothing more than that.

Wake up from a nightmare, and a cup of hot tea becomes a comfort. Shi Shi's hand trembled a little, and he reached out and brought the tea cup to his mouth and drank it all.

Lu Qianjin waited for her to come to her senses before asking, "How do you feel?" ”

"It sucks!" She smiled wryly, "This feeling is really terrible, it is like my own life, and it is like a movie, and the biggest feeling is that I can't do anything about it, so I can only tie my hands and catch it." After a pause, she asked again, "Are all those things true?" ”

"Not a big deviation." The daughter poured another cup of tea for her, and in the smoke, her eyes were a little pitying. "The memory of the previous life is like a tear, like the gangrene of the bones, forgetting jì is creation, and not forgetting is the fate. It has long been a thing of the past, and there is only endless melancholy when it is mentioned again. If it hadn't happened like this, I wouldn't have brought it up again. ”

How many sour rouge tears are sealed in the history books, and I can't count them.

The pain of the previous life is brought to this life, why bother?

Shi Shi bit her lower lip, "Those people, are they really all killed by the resentment in the man-made lake of Xi Shi Cun?" ”

"She's only killed one person with her own hands, and that's Raid Yue in your dorm room. The rest were killed by others in order to feed her resentment. She doesn't want to go on like this, she's not a resentful person. You can see that from the fact that she asked you to come to me. ”

"The deaths of those people have nothing to do with her, so why did she kill Yue?! Why?! ”

Lu Qianjin let out a long breath: "The queen's surname is Xi, and her name is Yayu." ”
