42.Song of the Fall (11)

Xianyang Palace/Inner Changle Palace is brightly lit.

It's midnight, and it's silent. Outside the Changle Palace, there was occasionally the footsteps of the palace maids walking by, but they were all put very lightly.

Lu Qianjin and Ying Zheng stood on the roof of Changle Palace, and the dark night became their best cover. The long wind hunted, blowing their clothes slowly fluttering. Ying Zheng looked at the palatial palace at his feet, and there were many kinds of feelings in his eyes.

There was not even joy in his voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

Lu Qianjin looked at him and didn't move: "Come to Liu Bang to ask for the truth/appearance, what do you think you are doing here?" ”

Ying Zheng didn't speak, she stared at his good-looking side face, his lips pursed a little tightly. "Missed?"

She asked him if he missed it.

How can it not be missed?

This was once the place that belonged to him, where he once established the most powerful rule of the Qin Dynasty, where he used to be above ten thousand people. He even once stood at the highest point of this Xianyang Palace overlooking the entire palace, thinking that his foundation could continue for a hundred years, thousands of years, or even ten thousand years.

However, the pace of the Qin Dynasty came to an abrupt halt at the hands of Hu Hai, or more precisely, at the moment of his death, it was already rapidly declining.

Now this glorious palace belongs to his former opponent, Liu Bang.

Ying Zheng's heart was vaguely subtle, more of a surprise. Wealth and glory, life and death struggles, it turned out to be a matter of a moment.

Lu Qianjin understood his thoughts, and said softly: "Don't miss it. Soon there will be no zài here, no one can have a palace forever, you too, and so does Liu Bang. ”

It's just that for many men in this world, being able to get to that position is already a success.

Of course, he knows that there is no need to be nostalgic, because nostalgia is just useless, now and even in the future, what he needs to pay attention to is the person in front of him. He withdrew his gaze and responded to her gaze, with a shallow apology in his eyes: "I ......"

"Don't say it." She shook her head, smiled and reached out to take his wind-blown hand. "Ah Zheng, don't say sorry, don't explain. That's your past, it's so hard to forget jì, and I never thought of asking you to forget jì. Let's not think about it anymore, it's enough for two people to be able to spend every day together. ”

"Yes, it's enough." Ying Zheng shook her hand backhand, her hand was also cold, the two of them held together, but slowly warmed each other's palms. He smiled with relief, and finally he was as handsome and good-looking as he was when they first met in the mountains and forests.

"Let's go down, I have a few questions I want to ask Liu Bang."

Ying Zheng nodded, and just wanted to go down, but saw a woman with a row of palace maids and maids, slowly walking to the front of Changle Palace from a distance. She wears a straight peach, with delicate and intricate patterns on the sleeves and collar.

The attendants and guards in front of the Changle Palace saw that she had retreated, and a person who looked like a big attendant came out of the palace door, saw that it was her, saluted respectfully, and said: "Slave maid [1] please Mrs. Qi." ”

The woman known as Mrs. Qi motioned for him to get up, turned around and took a food box from the hand of the maid behind her, and said softly, "You wait outside, I'll go in by myself." ”

The maids and maids bent their knees one after another, and replied in unison: "Oh." ”

The big chamberlain stretched out his hand and helped her to the inner hall, complimenting her as he walked: "Today, the emperor has bothered to think about it, and the general has been squinting for half a moment, and the lady is here, so she should be able to relieve the emperor's worries." ”

Mrs. Qi frowned slightly: "The emperor has a headache again?" ”

"Officially......" The two of them walked inside, but the sound gradually became quieter, and finally they could not be heard.

The two people who were still standing on the roof of Changle Palace looked at each other, looking at each other with a little strange eyes.

After being silent for a long time, Ying Zheng asked: "Do you don't need to ask Liu Bang the question you want to ask?" ”

Lu Qianjin tugged at the corners of her mouth and said stiffly: "It seems that there is no need for it." Have you ever seen this Mrs. Qi that Liu Bang has been bringing here? ”

Ying Zheng looked at her strangely: "What was my identity back then, and what did I do when I saw her?" ”

Look, as soon as I was excited, the word burst out again. He is still addicted to the sense of superiority brought by his status and can't extricate himself!

"Speaking of which...... Ying Zheng saw that her face was a little bad, and hurriedly added: "You have seen so many things over the years, but you haven't seen her?" ”

Lu Qianjin shook his head solemnly, I really haven't seen this before.

Liu Bang is notoriously lustful, the women around him come and go, and in the end, in addition to his wife Lu Pheasant, the one who can stand beside him is this Mrs. Qi. From the time he met to his death and left, Liu Bang's favorite woman has always been this Mrs. Qi, who only knows her name but does not see her. Prior to this, although Lu Qianjin was curious about what Mrs. Qi was like, she had never thought carefully about the reason why she was favored.

After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go down and hear what they are saying." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug Ying Zheng, only to see her waist/limbs move, and the two of them turned into two glimmers of light, crossed in the dark night, and only showed their original appearance when they fell into the Changle Palace.

(⊙o⊙)! This is Mr. Yingzheng, who has refreshed his worldview again.

Dare she still do this trick?! Then why did they have to walk the first few times?!

Lu Qianjin received his affection accurately, lowered his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Master has taught me that all living beings are equal, and you can't abuse magic......"

Ying Zheng interrupted her coldly and unreasonably: "Do you think I will believe it? "If he is killed, he will not believe that Wu Meiren, who is not a producer, would say such a thing......

"Okay...... Actually, I forgot about it the first two times...... "I subconsciously chose to walk."

I knew it was the case with his face.

"Don't talk about this, get down to business......" She diverted the subject and turned his head to look in.

Their current position was right behind a pillar in the inner sanctum, and they didn't bother to block it, so they covered it up casually, and no one noticed them. looked left and right, only to find that the people serving in the inner hall had been retired, leaving only Mrs. Qi sitting on the edge of the couch and talking to a man.

That man was probably Liu Bang, leaning on the couch and eating by Mrs. Qi's hands. Liu Bang was fifty-four years old at this time, which was already very old. A few years ago, he was still running around on the battlefield, but now he has suddenly settled down, but he is old.

"Four years." Liu Bang stretched out his hand and gently touched Mrs. Qi's hair. His hands were old and thin, and there was a sharp contrast with Mrs. Qi's long black and beautiful hair. Yu Bing...... You've been with me for four years. You are young and beautiful, I am about to die, and I have been wandering away with me, do you regret it? ”

Qi Yubing smiled slightly, and fed him the bowl of dim sum spoonful. Wipe the corners of his lips for him, put the bowl aside, and then said softly: "Regret? Yu Bing knows a lot of words, but he doesn't know how to write these two words. ”

“…… Then you ......" he coughed, followed by a violent cough. Qi Yubing hurriedly reached out to pat him on the back to stop coughing, he coughed for a while before he eased up, touched her delicate/tender face, and asked, "Then you, have you ever resented me?" ”

"Resentment?" She asked rhetorically, with a slight sadness in her eyes: "Yu Bing is the emperor's woman, how dare she have resentment?" ”

"I want you to tell the truth!" As soon as he grabbed her shoulder, he couldn't let go of her frowning in pain. He opened his cloudy eyes and said, "I want to hear you tell the truth!" ”

Truth? Qi Yubing's conscious face was a little trance-like, he looked up at him, and asked him with empty and beautiful eyes: "Did the emperor dream again, or did he involuntarily think of it again?" ”

"I ......" he involuntarily let go of his hand and leaned back on the soft couch. His face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes refused to take his eyes off Qi Yubing's face, staring at her with stubbornness and fascination: "You are becoming more and more like her." ”

Qi Yubing held the silk handkerchief in his palm, and said in a desolate voice: "In the end, the emperor misses her, or rather, the emperor has never forgotten her for a moment." Stretching out his hand to touch his face, "Yu Bing understood a long time ago that the emperor favored Yu Bing, but it was because of this face. If the emperor asked Yu Bing if he was resentful about this, Yu Bing wanted to answer the emperor and was not resentful. ”

Not only is she not resentful, but she is also very happy.

I am glad that I have a face similar to Yu Ximo, I am glad that I was able to meet Liu Bang during the battle of Pengcheng, and I am even more glad that what Yu Ximo does not want can be owned by her shadow.

When Liu Bang heard this, he seemed to be a little happy and a little melancholy: "You and her are very different after all." If it were her, she would resent me, and resented me to death. ”

Yu Ximo was too strong, he wasn't sure he could tame her and have her.

The emperor also said...... Yu Bing is becoming more and more like her......" Qi Yubing smiled slightly, and reached out to tuck the quilt for him: "The emperor is tired, settle it." ”

He closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Under the light, Qi Yubing quietly looked at this old face. The first time I saw him, he was the lord who fled in despair, and was left to help by her father. He had no self-knowledge to borrow, and when she pinched the flowers, he suddenly spoke, saying: "Good flowers with beauties." ”

She was startled and crashed into his eyes, which were still bright at the time, and there was a sign of scoundrel and cunning.

After that, she became his concubine, his favorite, and his wife.

But only, it is no longer the smiling Qi Yubing.

Qi Yubing sighed deeply, Liu Bang closed his eyes but didn't fall asleep, moved his eyelids, opened his eyes again, and stared at her: "Why did Yubing sigh?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled flawlessly: "It's late at night, Yu Bing is a little tired." ”

"If you're tired, go back, I have someone here."

"Whoa." She answered, got up, bent over, and slowly stepped back. But I heard her walk out of the door of the inner sanctum, and slammed the door frame hard, and her eyes were a little red.

She doesn't resent, she can't help but take it to heart after all. It's just that no matter how much you care, you won't be stupid enough to say it. After all, Yu Ximo is dead, and she will be the only sustenance for Liu Bang's beloved.

She was satisfied.
