Chapter 141: Life Hangs by a Thread (1st Update)
The sedan chair traveled all the way and stopped in front of the palace gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The guards guarding the palace gate had to check their identities, and the eunuch respectfully handed over the sign.
This is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and the guards are stricter than those at the city gate, and they must be inspected when they come, and no one will be an exception. Even if it is a relative of the emperor and the concubines of the six palaces, the rules that should be followed are the same.
The guard lifted the corner of the curtain slightly, and saw Sanniang sitting in the sedan chair and lowered the curtain: "Release!" ”
In this way, the sedan chair moved again.
Unlike when I came a few days ago, there were no people along the way, so vast and quiet, it seemed that the palace was solemn and magnificent.
At this hour, the Qiande Hall is still discussing politics, and Sanniang is estimated to be waiting in the side hall and waiting for the saint to come.
After another half an hour, the sedan stopped.
"Miss Wang, please get out of the car, there is the East Side Hall in front of you, you have to walk there."
Sanniang replied: "Yes......" and helped the car down.
The eunuch waited respectfully, and when she came down, he said, "Come with the slave......"
Sanniang nodded in response and followed him to the east side of the Qiande Palace.
This east side hall is located behind the Qiande Palace, the palace sits in the east and faces west, and the side hall is naturally the east side in the back.
This place is a place where the Holy Lord rests after the morning pilgrimage, and occasionally conducts government affairs here or summons courtiers.
"Miss Wang, please come in." When she arrived at the palace, the eunuch let her in, but he stood aside, not intending to go inside.
Without the consent of the Holy One, it would be a capital sin for him to enter.
Sanniang bowed to him and stepped into the hall instead.
The side hall is not as magnificent as the main hall, but it is also extravagant, the bright yellow curtain tent, the vermilion beams and columns, the ornaments in the house are all treasures.
The aroma of ambergris permeated by the surroundings, and the few green smoke coming out of the incense burner only add a bit of vanity.
Sanniang waited here for a long time, but she still didn't wait for the saint to come forward, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she found a place to sit down.
There were a lot of folds piled up on the table, and there was a porcelain bowl beside it, and half of the brown soup in the bowl was left.
She looked at the porcelain bowl and was stunned for a quarter of an hour.
There was finally movement on the corridor leading to the main hall, and Sanniang hurriedly got up from her seat and looked towards the end of the corridor.
The dark gold shoes and boots with the dragon pattern came into view first, and then, the saint appeared in front of the door.
Sanniang immediately knelt down: "Queen Qi Yao to the emperor to say goodbye." ”
The saint summoned him privately, and there was no need to shout long live, so Sanniang said this.
Without his answer, Sanniang didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only bury her head.
The dragon boots drew closer and closer to her.
There was another person behind the saint, Sanniang guessed that he was serving the inner eunuch, but that person stood for a moment and was sent away by the saint.
The saint still didn't mean to let her get up, and stood motionless in front of her, as if he was looking at it.
After a long time, he said, "Get up."
Sanniang slowly got up and half-bowed to show her awe.
He stood in front of Sanniang, a head above her, staring at her face without taking his eyes off.
"Your Majesty......" Sanniang frowned, wanting to remind him, lest he do something amazing next.
"You look so good in this feather coat that I almost thought it was made for you."
Sanniang didn't think this was a good word, this feather coat might be related to that Nehua, so she didn't dare to accept the praise of the saint.
"The little girl is in moderate shape, as long as it is not too big or too small to wear clothes, it is also suitable for wearing."
He stopped talking again, looked at Sanniang in a daze, and said after a while: "If Nehua had a daughter, it should be your size......" He sighed and asked: "How old are you this year?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers are thirteen years old this year, and they have not yet reached the age of the emperor." In fact, Sanniang doesn't need to add the last sentence, she just rings a warning bell for the saint, so as not to let him come nonsense.
"Thirteen,......" he murmured, as if to himself, "you were born after her death, and you are certainly not her child." ”
Sanniang was stunned, she was born after her death? So this Nehua is really not her biological mother?
"The emperor has always compared me to her, dare to ask who this person is?"
The Holy Admiral looked at her, then turned her head away, and recalled: "She is a strange woman, she can sing and dance, she is bold and smart, but it is a pity that the family is not prosperous, otherwise she would have a great reputation in Beijing." I remember that I first met her on South Street, and she pretended to be a man, and I pretended to be a little girl......" He laughed as he spoke, and it was probably an interesting old story.
But listening to him say this, the two met so beautifully, so why didn't they just take it into their arms? Before he ascended the throne, he was also a prince, a woman in a small family, why didn't he worry about it?
Then, the saint received Fang Cai's smile and was sad: "But my father... Father, he knows my thoughts, but he still wants to give Nehua to others. ”
At this moment, he doesn't look like an emperor at all, just a man who is injured.
Sanniang looked at her with a lot of feelings, what about the Ninety-Five, living in this endless luxury palace, enjoying the tenderness of the three thousand beauties of the harem, holding the power of the world, he also has things that he can't get.
Therefore, instead of regretting it for the rest of your life, it is better to pity the current situation.
Sanniang thought that she must protect the Wang family and live a good life. When I went to the underworld, I took the soup bowl in Meng Po's hand smoothly, forgot the past, and maybe I could live a more brilliant life in the next life.
"I thought that I was in love with her, and I blamed my father for beating the mandarin ducks. After ascending the throne, I want to take her into the palace, I don't care that she has served others, but she ...... He also gave his heart to others. When the saint said this, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, and said gloomily: "I will also kill that person on the left and right, since she refuses to obey me, I will fulfill her!" Let her die with that man! ”
Sanniang was taken aback, she didn't expect him to have such a big gap between front and back.
"Your Majesty, ......," Sanniang called softly.
But he didn't ask, and said to himself: "It's in a small house on North Street, and she hides there thinking I can't find it." Scold! Not only did I find it, but I razed it to the ground with a fire, and I heard the cries for help from inside, but I didn't save her...... In the end, it's still me... I killed her with my own hands......"
Sanniang thought about it for a long time, but she never thought that it would end like this, but now that the saint regards her as that person, isn't she extremely dangerous?
Just when she was secretly frightened, the saint turned to look at Sanniang again.
The look in his eyes changed, and he stepped forward to choke Sanniang's neck, Sanniang wanted to exclaim, but she couldn't make a sound at all.
"The Emperor... The emperor ......" Sanniang tried hard to squeeze out two words, and tried to wake him up.
But he was indifferent, immersed in his own fantasies, and he asked loudly: "Say! You're going with him! Or stay in the palace with me? ”
Sanniang really wanted to say that staying in the palace to accompany you, after all, it was important to save your life at this time.
But the saint didn't know where he got such a great strength, and the more he pinched it, the tighter and tighter it became, making it difficult for her to breathe. (To be continued.) )
