Afterword and extras
postscript
On the auspicious day of the zodiac, in the palace of Wei State, the Empress Dowager Dou presided over the ceremony of the queen's hand-casting of gold people. All the concubines were dressed up ceremoniously, except for one person.
She sat crookedly on the soft couch, holding flowers in one hand and a book in the other, and her silver hair was casually draped. A palace maid beat her legs for her, and a fan shook for her.
Tuoba Tao came in, and the two palace maids stepped forward to salute. He waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down. He took Qiyun's shoulder, hugged her into his arms, kissed her sideburns, and asked in her ear: "Today is the day to choose the queen, and all the concubines will be present, but you are crooked here, and you don't go out to have a scene?" ”
"Do you think your position as a queen is a rare thing?" She pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly, "Whoever wants it, whoever takes it, the queen wants the mother of the world." There is a Buddha in the world, and it is an illusory scene for me, and the sand in my hands. I just want to enjoy a book and a flower every day. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too." Tuoba Tao slightly swallows the lower jaw.
"All the names and titles in the history books, and my story and experience have been erased. The historian should not comment, and only leave a wordless post. ”
"Good."
"I want to bring my niece into the palace. Her name is Feng Yu, and her name is Shuyuan. I have raised it myself, and I will bring disaster to your world in the future. ”
"Good. My Tuoba clan's world, with the Feng woman's complement, is a blessing, how can there be chaos? ”
"I want to invite the wind and the moon with Lu Yin, and drink tea with poetry."
"No problem."
"In the summer, I'm going to Baiyun Mountain for a summer vacation."
"Accompanying."
"I'm going to accompany Mo Chuan in the Imperial Tomb Xuanbing."
"Whatever you want...... Well, this alone will not work. ”
"And, the last one. Every morning, you add makeup to the plum blossoms on my forehead. ”
"This ...... I can't ask for it. ”

Helian fell outside the city
Taiji Palace, on the dragon couch, when Emperor Ming Yuan Tuoba was dying, the candles in the hall flickered and dimmed, and a sudden gust of wind blew them out. The white moonlight shines through the lattice, outlining the intricate patterns on the lattice.
Suddenly, there was a shadow of a man on the ground. Emperor Ming Yuan turned his head slightly, raised his eyes, and a woman in white stood silently in front of his couch.
Tuoba said with some difficulty: "You're here?" Are you here to give me a ride? ”
"Yes." The woman breathed.
"Allure, thank you for coming to see me."
"Anyway, we met once, and I should come to see you off eventually."
A smile appeared on Tuoba Hei's thin and pale face, as if he had some strength, "The happiest time in my life is to be with you, and to worship Mo Yi as brothers. Together with the four brothers and sisters-in-law, we roamed the rivers and lakes, acted chivalrous and righteous, and were full of spirit. We've been to so many places, the scenery is beautiful, it's like a fairyland. But I have also seen wars and killings, and I have seen the tragic situation of bones being exposed in the wilderness and people being displaced. ”
"So, you always want to leave me behind and choose to return to Pingcheng and return to the palace?"
"I want to come back to Pingcheng, arrange everything, and come to pick you up, I want to give you the best. Unexpectedly, when I saw you again, you would already be married to my second brother. Do you take revenge on me because of resentment? ”
"Yes and no."
"Yes, it means that you have me in your heart. No, why? ”
"If you choose never to return to Pingcheng, I think we may be like my brother and sister-in-law, living together for a few years or more than ten years, although it is short, but also happy. But you didn't, you still want to go back to Pingcheng and this cage. You have your responsibilities and I ...... There are also my tasks. ”
"Task? What task? Tuoba looked surprised.
Helian Allure was silent for a long time, and Tuoba thought she would avoid talking about it. Eventually, she spoke, word by word, clearly and slowly, "The quest for revenge." ”
"Revenge?" Tuoba Hei's heart sank.
"Yes, a blood feud with your Tuoba clan."
Tuoba was a little shocked, a little confused, and a little clear. After a while, he shook his head and said helplessly: "Five nonsense, a group of heroes competing for hegemony, national vendetta killing, some hatred is inevitable in the end. I don't know which family you are an orphan, no one in the royal family of all countries has no blood on his hands, and the so-called success will make ten thousand bones wither. It's just that...... Allure, your task has not been completed, do you ...... in your heart Can't put it down? ”
"It's rare that you're still thinking about me at this time, how do you know that I'm not done?" The corners of Helian Allure's mouth were raised, and his expression was cold and arrogant.
At this time, Tuoba Hei's heart set off a stormy wave, and his face was still uneasy, "So, Allure, are you revenge?" ”
"Yes", Helian Allure bowed slightly.
"In the palace change of that year, the first emperor was killed by his second brother, who was your husband, could it be you...... Are you behind the scenes? Tuoba's voice trembled.
"yes, it's a pity you found out too late." Helian Allure's eyes were full of pride, and there was a hint of ridicule on his beautiful face.
"The first emperor was harmed by the five stones, could it be that I am also ...... today"
"Not bad. Once Wushisan is touched, there are many taboos for taking it, and it is easy to be assassinated. ”
"Allure, you...... Who are you? Do you have to do this to relieve the hatred in your heart? Tuoba raised his arm tremblingly, and pointed his finger at Helian Allure, deeply grieved.
"If you had been through what I have experienced, you would not have pointed that at me." In the face of his accusations, Helian Allure remained calm.
"Allure, I just don't want more people to be displaced and fight with hatred, so I choose to abandon you, choose to sit in this position, be a good Ming Jun, strengthen the Wei State, and unify the world. You...... Why don't you understand? ”
"I can't control anything else, our Helian clan is the world."
"You're from the Helian clan! What is your relationship with Helian Bobo? ”
"Tiefu Xidan Yu Liu Weichen is my father, and Helian Bobo is my royal brother."
"I see," Tuoba finally understood what kind of person the beloved woman was, and every bit of the past passed through his mind. After a long time, he sighed: "Today, I am about to go to Elysium, and you ...... now. Satisfied? ”
Helian Allure was silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Tuoba's heart gradually sank, "The first emperor and I have become like this, no matter how big the hatred is, it should be resolved, right?" Your revenge is avenged, and I only hope that ...... Thou shalt not touch my child. ”
Helian Allure remained silent.
Seeing that she was silent, Tuoba said to her with all his might, "Don't touch my child, do you hear?" Otherwise...... Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go......" The finger was still pointing at her, her eyes widened, as if she was angry and reluctant......
Helian Chengcheng stretched out his cold fingers, slowly closed his eyes for him, and muttered, "When you go to Elysium, you will never see the joys and sorrows of this world again." People's joys, sorrows, and the prosperity and sorrow of the world have nothing to do with you anymore, isn't it a kind of happiness......"
