Chapter 114: Night Talk

The crescent moon is like a hook, the faint silver glow is sprinkled in the silent courtyard, like a layer of clear lake water, in the shade of flowers and trees, the warm night breeze is like a lover's hand brushing the sideburns, bringing a burst of dark fragrance.

The merchant stood by the open window and glanced back at the sleeping green sleeves in the brocade tent, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Although the smiling brothers did not ask her about her experience over the years, seeing that Green Sleeves looked tired and still unwilling to sleep, the merchant had to relax and more or less revealed to Green Sleeves what had happened to Li Mo over the years, including Li Mo's death.

Seeing the green sleeves crying silently for her experience, the businessman felt a little relieved and relaxed, maybe Li Chunfeng was right, the warmth of home is the best healing medicine. It wasn't until Greensleeves cried and fell asleep that she slowly got up and paced to the window.

Looking out of the window to the north, the dark shadow of the vermilion palace wall meandered and hovered like a white dragon lurking in the darkness under the light moonlight, but I don't know if the bright yellow glazed tiles are still the color of the year?

He put on a dark purple arrow-sleeved beard over his middle coat, and tied his long hair tightly around the back of his neck with a ribbon, and changed into a pair of soft-soled fast boots.

After tidying up, the merchant glanced at the sleeping green sleeves, sighed, and gently closed the door, avoiding the mother-in-law who was keeping vigil at the entrance of the small courtyard, and climbed out of the partition wall of the store in front of the kitchen road.

As soon as he landed, the merchant looked left and right for a while, and then rushed towards the direction of Taiji Palace.

The palace wall is still the same, stretching out his fingers to touch a cold, the merchant took a deep breath outside the wall, forcibly suppressed the unknown emotions rushing out of his heart, stretched out his feet on the wall and stepped lightly on the wall, calmly climbed over the palace wall.

There was silence in the wall at this time, and the guards who patrolled the night all relaxed their steps, trying not to disturb the good dreams of the nobles in the palace, and even the lights under the corridor had already been extinguished by the palace maids and eunuchs on duty at night, leaving only a few palace lights at the corners that still shone on the blind corners that they did not pay much attention to on weekdays, in case of the arrival of uninvited guests.

Following the memories of the old days, the merchant unhurriedly followed the Taiye Pond around the Imperial Garden and walked on the stone path leading directly to the Manna Hall.

Under the faint moonlight, the flowers and trees on both sides of the path are still as lush as in the memories of merchants, exuding bursts of fragrance from time to time.

Standing under the eaves in front of the Ganlu Palace, the merchant seemed to see Li Mo who had been mutilating himself for Li Zhi's sake, until she heard the sound of the night guards gradually approaching, she jumped and landed lightly on the eaves of the corner of the hall and bowed down, letting the cold glazed tiles stick to her cheeks, as if only in this way could she feel the soul that had already left this world again.

The Ganlu Hall is still magnificent, but Li Mo and Li Zhi have passed away one after another, no matter how gorgeous the house without the owner is, there is always an unconcealable decline in that luxury, just like a shell without a soul, with a corruption that penetrates into the bones.

Leaning on the roof for a while, waiting for the guards on the night patrol to gradually go away, Shang Shang exhaled a long breath, inhaled and turned around and jumped down from behind the Manna Palace, and went straight to the direction of the Hanyuan Palace.

As the inner city of Daming Palace, it covers an extremely wide area, but fortunately, Wu Meiniang has been in politics for many years, and the place where she lives is also customized, so merchants can naturally find it in the direction of Hanyuan Palace, but they don't have to worry about not being able to find people.

Sure enough, just half a moment later, the merchant found Emperor Zetian who had fallen asleep in the Chengxiang Hall directly behind the Hanyuan Palace.

The heavy guards in front of the hall seemed to be non-existent in the eyes of the merchants who floated by like the wind, until she ordered the sleeping hole of the palace maid who kept watch outside and entered the dragon bed behind the veil, and still no one noticed the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Wu Meiniang on the dragon bed is obviously no longer as young as Green Sleeves.

Although her skin is better maintained than Green Sleeves, and her hair still looks so shiny and moving, the fine lines that can't be hidden at the corners of her eyes and the silver light that can't be hidden between her seemingly black hair all reveal her age.

She is no longer the youthful and beautiful, soft and touching Wu Meiniang!

"Wu Meiniang!" After looking at this old and decrepit woman in a daze for a long time, Shang Shang called like a dream.

Was this sleeping woman with her eyes closed really the one who ordered her and Li Mo to be hunted down? Why are the eyebrows and eyes that are still so familiar now? is so strange that even Shang Shang himself doesn't know if she is the person she has hated for so long!

Wu Meiniang has always slept very lightly, and a low call from Shang Shang easily woke her up, and when she opened her eyes and saw the person standing in front of her, Rao is Wu Meiniang is now full of cultivation concentration and still couldn't help but gasp, and it took all her strength to hold back and not exclaim.

"Merchant! You...... How did you end up here? ”

Wu Meiniang's voice trembled slightly, and the expression on her face looked a little cloudy under the candle flame in the corner of the hall.

"Didn't you come to me? I was about to ask you. ”

Looking at the person who pushed Li Mo into hell sitting in front of him, Shang Shang found that she seemed to have no strength, and the hatred was still there, but Shang Shang suddenly found that she was more at a loss.

This woman is no longer familiar with businessmen, she is no longer the woman who is desperate for Li Kehui, nor is she the woman who gradually softened in Li Zhi's love, she is just a strange woman who has stayed at the peak of power for too long, so long that she may have forgotten her original youthful appearance!

"Shang Shang ......" Wu Meiniang's lips moved, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth gently.

"Say it! What the hell is going on? Shang Shang looked coldly at Wu Meiniang, who pushed away the futon and stood up, and said indifferently.

"I ...... I... It's just that...... I want to know if you're doing well......" Wu Meiniang forced herself to stand up and looked directly into Shang Shang's eyes.

As an emperor who has been on the throne for a long time, just because Shang Shang can stand quietly in front of her bed at this time, she already understands that today's Shang Shang is no longer the weak and harmless little singer girl she was at the beginning, and the woman who replaced her is already a master with unique skills.

However, she also has her self-esteem, and as an emperor, she will never allow herself to show weakness in front of others.

"We? It's been a long time since we were gone. ”

Shang Shang looked at the woman in front of him indifferently, there were too many temptations and conspiracies in her eyes, and the little affection back then had long been as thin as paper, as long as one finger would shatter this affection to the ground.

"Say it! What the hell are you looking for me for? I don't have much time to spend with you. ”

As the person who issued the chase and kill order, Shang Shang didn't think that Wu Meiniang would not know about Li Mo's death, so what was her pretending to be friendly at this time?

The lights in the hall were not bright, but Wu Meiniang's face happened to be half-hidden in the candle flame, which made it easier for her to see the merchants standing opposite her.

For some reason, the merchant did not deliberately hide his face, and after a few decades, this face seemed to be completely no different from the original appearance except for the deepening vicissitudes in his eyes!

Wu Meiniang took a deep breath and forced herself to lower her eyes, covering the envy and greed that flashed in her eyes.

She's old! But the merchant is still so young! Why?

"Merchant! I'm old! After all these years, can't you forgive me? Wu Meiniang took a tentative step forward, wanting to hold the hand of the businessman, but she dodged and avoided it, so she had to stop, and continued: "I really had no choice but to give that chase and kill order, if it weren't for the old horseman of the eldest grandson Wuji who wanted to contact the minister of the DPRK and China to find Li Mo back to preside over the overall situation, I wouldn't have made this decision!" Merchants! For our sake, forgive me! ”

"That's why you came to me for this?" Shang Shang raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Meiniang with a begging face, and the mockery on the corners of his lips was undisguised.

Even if she doesn't count the previous life, she has been in this life for decades, Wu Meiniang's trick is too fake, can she really treat her as a three-year-old child?

"If there's nothing else to say, then I'm not going to accompany you." The merchant turned around and walked out without hesitation.

"Wait!" Wu Meiniang saw the businessman turn around and leave, and couldn't help but get anxious.

She did everything possible to find businessmen, of course, it wouldn't be just to say these few innocuous words, if it wasn't for businessmen, why would she be so low-voiced?

"Merchant!" As if she had made a lot of determination, Wu Meiniang finally gritted her teeth and said, "You wait, I'll ...... I want to ask you one thing. ”

"Say!" The merchant stopped, but did not turn around.

It is really a difficult thing to face Wu Meiniang, as long as you see her, it is difficult for Shangshang to think of Li Mo who died because of her, which makes Shangshang's heart always in an extreme torment.

"As far as I know, Master Xuanzang once said that you can enjoy a thousand years of luck, and I see you today...... It's still the same as back then, and I've never aged at all, this ...... What the hell is ...... Can this method be ......" Wu Meiniang opened her mouth a little vaguely, looking a little uncomfortable.

But even if she said it vaguely, the merchant understood it at first sight.

What apologies? What's the explanation? I'm afraid that even if you hold the world in your hands, you can't resist the temptation of the word immortality, right?

Finally figured out Wu Meiniang's purpose, and Shang Shang couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha......"

The clear laughter poured out in the hall without any scruples, and it was not suppressed at all, as if it didn't mind being heard by the guards guarding outside the hall.

Shang Shang finally stopped laughing, looked at Wu Meiniang with an angry face for a long time, the resentment in his eyes finally disappeared anymore, and sighed: "Wu Meiniang! You were in love with King Wu at the beginning, but you abandoned Li Zhi, who loved you like your life, even if you are a female emperor who has been unparalleled throughout the ages, and now you are only left with a shadow, so what is the use of the so-called luck? What's the use? Hehehe......"

When the guards outside the hall rushed into the door, the candles in the hall were shaking violently, and in the blurred light and shadow, the female emperor who was sitting on the dragon bed had a pale face, looking at the wide open window in a daze, and a crescent moon outside the window was gradually moving past Zhongtian.

Under the shadow of the moon, a cold female voice came from afar, and the man voice sang: "By asking the to the purple smoke, I once learned to dance for the good year, and I have to be more than the eye Why die, Gu Zuo Mandarin Duck is not envious of the immortal!" (To be continued.) )
