Final Chapter 2
Yuyan has always had a clear love and hate, and if she is kind to her, she will come to her rescue. But for those who have enemies against her, she will also take revenge. Su E was only a little silent when he heard this, and the autumn wind gently blew the colored bells hanging under the eaves, making a tinkling sound. The pale golden sunlight reflected her clear silhouette more clearly, and it took a long time for her to sigh and say, "Heaven has done evil, it is forgivable." and thou shalt not live. ”
Yu Yan also once thought that today's fate was the retribution for his previous sins. As the emperor said, in the first half of her life, she eliminated dissidents one after another for the sake of status and stability, and those concubines who were either dead or defeated all hated her to the bone and wanted to eat her flesh and blood. She also has times of hesitation, of fear. It's just decades of life and death, and she has long been numb to death. So much so that she was snubbed by the Son of Heaven, and all kinds of evil consequences like being forbidden in the cold palace were all within her expectations.
However, in the past few years, Yuyan has not been as miserable as she imagined. Abandoning wealth and glory, her heart gradually calmed down like water. Picking up flowers and planting grass, composing poems and lyrics, playing the piano and playing the flute, everything is comfortable and stable. The face that was once haggard has gradually become rosy and shiny, and even the gray hair has decreased. The cold and cruel face in the mirror finally softened, and when she smiled, it was like a girl's time, her eyes were like silk, and she looked back at the city.
She enjoyed this leisure for eight years, during which time she even forgot that she was also the master of the power of the harem.
Until one afternoon, the southwest corner of the palace suddenly heard the mournful sound of gongs and drums. As far as the eye can see, the golden tile red cliffs under the gray clouds of winter have also lost their color, and have been replaced by endless whiteness.
For a moment, Yu Yan thought that it was the winter snow covering the palace skirt pool, but she realized what the white meant. The sound of the cloud board rises and falls, continuously. She looked up at the dark dome, and felt that something was stuck in her throat, almost suffocating.
The obituary of the national funeral spread all over the world in an instant.
In the forty-seventh year of Chenhe, the emperor collapsed in the Yongning Palace, at the age of forty-eight, and was called the Emperor of Shengong Shengrui Qin'an Gongwen, and taught Yuhao.
Yuyan always remembered her indescribable complicated feelings when the palace people came to tell her. She hated this man very much, and if it weren't for his calculations, her life might have been more comfortable and peaceful. However, the moment he heard that the emperor had died, his soul seemed to drift away from his body, and a heart hung empty in his chest, with nowhere to put it. She burst into tears, but she didn't know whether they were joyful or sad.
In this life, he owes himself too much.
Yuyan's time was buried in such a man, but he finally went abruptly without even a word of apology. If he is still alive, when he sees him one day, Yuyan can still use all his strength to rebuke him for his ruthlessness and unrighteousness. However, he is gone, and there is no point in hating again.
Yu Yan numbly bent his knees and solemnly kowtowed three times towards the Yongning Palace. Maybe it's to obey the palace rules, maybe it's to pay tribute to a generation of kings, and she can't tell the meaning of it. It's just that what comes to mind repeatedly is that in the cold winter of that year, the plum blossoms are blooming like clouds in the sky, he is dressed in a bright dragon robe, his eyebrows are like swords, and he stretched out a palm to himself under the gaze of everyone: "I know that you are suffering." ”
No matter how good the beginning is, it can't withstand the erosion of time. That splendid year was finally buried in the bloody wind and ceased to exist.
A few days later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the ceremony was held in the Taiji Palace. The palace swept away the previous mourning, and the lights were everywhere to congratulate the five princes on their eternal succession. And because the new emperor was young, the first emperor left two regents, but the trend in the court was blindly inclined to his mother Ning Guifei, so the power of decision-making was almost handed over to this woman. On the day of his accession to the throne, in order to show the emperor's grace, Concubine Ning gave amnesty to the world, which was supported by all the people for a while, and the new emperor's foundation was solid.
On the day of the ceremony, Yuyan dressed neatly in the morning, closed her eyes and sat on the Hunan concubine couch. The light sunlight as light as a cicada's wings reflected in front of the window, and a faint gold fell on the woman's white face. Her demeanor was unusually comfortable, as if she was waiting for someone, and she sat for several hours.
When it arrived, Jing'an Palace, which had been empty for eight years, suddenly heard a rumor, and it was actually the Queen Mother Feng who came in person. When Su E heard the movement, her heart was shocked, and when she was about to speak, she saw that Yuyan had already opened her eyes slowly, and there was a shallow smile in her eyes.
Time flies, and the woman who was once delicate and delicate, and who didn't care about the world, is now the queen mother, with the power of life and death in her hands. It's just that the woman's dress is still plain as usual, a plum blossom robe embroidered with blue on a silver background, painted with a lacquered gold pattern of "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang", the neckline and hem are all in ink and sea blue twisted with wave lines, and occasionally wearing a wisp of honey gold looks low and luxurious. Roche combed a flat bun, only used gilt white jade flat square to tie a black hair, hand twisted beeswax red agate beads, beads of high color.
She is also thirty-four or five years old, although she has not faded, there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes. It's just that Roche's makeup is exquisite, his eyebrows and eyes are noble, and he still gives people a stunning feeling when he stands in the light. Yu Yan saw that she no longer had the submissiveness she had at that time, and she knew that she had also experienced a lot over the years.
The Queen Mother saw that she did not come forward to salute, nor was she angry, but just sat side by side with her on the Xiangfei couch, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister is still as beautiful as before." ”
Yu Yan peeled the pine nuts on the plate, and slowly replied: "The mourning family thinks that the queen mother is dignified, and she doesn't want to enter this lifeless Jing'an Palace." ”
"My sister's child is on the throne, and the mourning family naturally wants to say a word of joy." The Queen Mother leaned back slightly, a chill crossed her eyes, "In this way, I don't live up to my sister's painstaking management and institutions for more than ten years." ”
"Since you have said goodbye, you can go back."
"What is my sister anxious about, the mourning family has not yet read out the will of the first emperor." The woman looked coldly at Yu Yan in plain clothes, and it wasn't until she turned her head sideways that she raised her chin unhurriedly, "The first emperor knew that your mind was vicious, and it would be a disaster if you left it in the world, so he deliberately left a will, ordering you to go with him, and the new emperor will implement it immediately after he ascends the throne." The woman gritted the words extremely hard, as if this was not enough to vent the hatred in her heart. However, Yu Yan just raised his eyes lightly, and said lightly: The mourning family had already expected that he would do this. That look, that tone, is the same as before. Before the big event, her face did not change, and she was not shocked by the ups and downs - such a Yuyan was a person she admired and longed for. It's just that why, there is a break between them to this point, so that Yuyan's death will be judged by himself.
