Chapter 135. Imperial Flower
In the fourteenth year of the great cause, the imperial garden of Jiangdu Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The emperor stood with his hands in his hands, with his back to the queen sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, "I think it is safe to send Cousin Li Yuan to Taiyuan. ”
The queen was silent, she had known this result for a long time. Zeng Jin tried to persuade the emperor not to entrust Taiyuan to Li Yuan, but there was no other more trustworthy person besides Li Yuan.
"It's not your majesty's fault, people are unpredictable, even if Li Yuan doesn't think about himself, who can guarantee that he doesn't think about the people around him. Even if he himself doesn't want to rebel, who can guarantee that the people around him won't force him to rebel. It's all providence! The queen lowered her eyes and sighed.
The emperor turned around, looked into the queen's eyes and said, "Now the only person I can believe in is you, the queen." ”
"Your Majesty......" the queen's eyes were full of pity and distress.
"I don't know who will cut off this head in the future. If the queen escapes, remember to collect my body! The voice was mournful and low.
As early as a few days ago, he had prepared poisoned wine. Just in case you need it.
The queen knew that the emperor had no intention of fighting again, and the outcome was decided. I didn't feel like I was in tears.
She remembered Mrs. Xuanhua, who died of illness in Luoyang Palace at that time.
At that time, the emperor went out to attack Goguryeo for the first time, and Mrs. Xuanhua was lying on the hospital bed, holding the queen's hand, "Empress, Your Majesty, he is not the kind of tyrant written in the history books. It's worth it. If we could meet in the 21st century, please tell me what happened next. ”
I don't know if I can go back to the 21st century. The queen remembered the ancient tree, "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the 21st century!" ”
"Yangzhou in the 21st century is really good! No war, no death! There is no king of the dead country. The emperor muttered, noncommittal.
The breeze blew through his clothes, and a cool breeze ran through his body, "Let's go back!" ”
There was a lot of fire outside, but the inside of Jiangdu City was unusually quiet. The silence is terrifying, and one wonders what conspiracy is brewing in this tranquility.
The emperor is reading with Zhao Wang Yang Hao in the main hall, and the atmosphere is warm and happy.
Suddenly, I heard a slashing sound outside.
"I didn't expect it to come so quickly!" The emperor put down the book and looked at King Zhao, "Are you afraid of death?" ”
"I'm afraid!" Twelve-year-old Zhao Wang answered his father sincerely.
The emperor remembered that when he was in Yanmen Pass, he also experienced the catastrophe of life and death with King Zhao. Is this providential?
Yu Wenhua and Pei Qiantong, Yuan Li and others rushed in. The emperor's pupils dilated for a moment, and he never expected it. I thought it would be someone else who came back, but I didn't expect it to be the person he trusted the most.
"Your Majesty, the military rations will not be able to hold on, and everyone must live. I'm sorry! Yu Wenhua said and raised the big knife to look at the emperor.
"Wait, the king has his own way of dying!" As he spoke, he searched his sleeve pocket for the bottle of poison that had been prepared long ago. But for some reason I didn't find it.
Queen, can you take my poison and I live? This time you're confused!
Within the big point, everyone looked at the emperor with fierce eyes, silent. Only Zhao Wang Yang Hao was so frightened that he cried.
Pei Qiantong was startled by this sudden cry, and the more he listened, the more irritated he became, "What are you crying about?" Shut up! As he spoke, he slashed down. Blood splattered the emperor's body.
Yang Hao's crying stopped abruptly and fell to the ground with a clatter.
The emperor was not sad and angry when he saw this, and his face was calm. Untie your belt and hand it to Yu Wenhua.
Yu Wenhua handed over the belt to one of the generals beside him, "Come on! ”
The man was not polite and took the belt. Hands and feet neatly put it around the emperor's neck. The two of them pulled from both ends, and soon ended the life of the eternal emperor.
When the rebels saw that the emperor was dead, the cautious appearance just now suddenly disappeared. began to frantically kill clan members and relatives in the palace.
When the queen heard the news, her first thought was to collect the emperor's body.
"Queen, it's too late. Come on! Man'er dragged her to escape through the tunnel.
"Man'er, you go first. I promised the emperor to collect his body. The queen's tone was firm. Turn around and walk in the direction of the main hall.
Man'er saw that the queen was not leaving, so she also followed, "Forget it, I'll help you, queen!" The queen smiled wryly and nodded.
When they found the emperor, their bodies were still warm, and they were not dead. The queen tidied up his appearance, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to carry the emperor to the ancient tree.
It turned out that not long ago, the queen took someone to move the old tree that had grown up again and planted it in the imperial garden.
"Man'er, take those two treasures out." The queen said anxiously.
Man'er left the revenge in his hand still on the ground, untying his hands and feet with ease. took out a bag, and inside it turned out to be the jade peace buckle and beeswax bracelet.
"Old tree, please let the three of us go back!"
The old tree spoke slowly, "Dead people can't go back!" ”
"He's not dead! The body is still warm! The queen's tears were like a flood bursting the embankment, and she stubbornly roared at the old tree.
The old tree regained its calm. Silent for a while. The queen rushed up and punched and kicked it, "You hurry up and let us all go back!" ”
The two treasures kept glowing, as if urging them. Lao Shu spoke again, "If you want to let the dead go back too, it's not impossible. ”
"What's the solution?" The queen asked the old tree anxiously.
"Go to the land of the Huns outside the Saiwai and get an imperial flower. This imperial flower only blooms when an emperor dies. After opening it, you will immediately take it off and eat it, and when the queen dies naturally, the person you will be buried with will be able to travel with you to the 21st century.
The queen stroked the emperor's face, "Man'er, you go back first!" ”
Man'er shook her head, "Empress, how can you go to Saiwai alone, can you make sure that you find the imperial flower when you go to Saiwai?" I'll go down and look for it with you. ”
"There is only one imperial flower, which can make two people go back. If you stay now, you'll never go back. The old tree reminded Man'er again.
"Man'er, you go back first. Wait for us to go back. Believe me. The Queen's eyes were firm.
Man'er burst into tears and nodded, "You must come back, I'll wait for you!" ”
After Man'er finished speaking, the queen saw her soul float out of her body and be sucked in by the ancient tree. The body that remained was dead like this.
The queen looked at the emperor, who was getting cold, turned over and rushed back to the dormitory. Lift the bed board out, tie it into a coffin with a rope, and slowly put the emperor inside.
Under the old tree, a pit was dug and the emperor was buried.
"Your Majesty, wait for me!" With that, she wiped away her tears and got up and went outside the palace.
She took the initiative to find Yu Wenhua and asked to go north to Chang'an with them.
Since then, there have been various difficulties. After overcoming all obstacles, he finally arrived at the Turkic territory outside the Saiwai.
With the help of the children of the Sui Dynasty and Princess Yicheng, she settled in the Turks. Every day I go crazy looking for that imperial flower.
"Imperial flowers? All I know is that there is a strange grass on the top of the hill behind that, which does not bloom all year round, but which bloomed just once last year, and is as bright red as blood. Everyone said that it was a strange flower that bloomed when the emperor died, but I don't know if it's the one you're looking for. Princess Yicheng said as she drank tea.
Last year happened to be the year of the death of Emperor Daye. The queen burst into tears of surprise.
She rushed to the top of the back hill, and sure enough, there was a peculiar grass. I don't know when it will bloom again.
Time flies, and she takes care of the grass every day. Nearly a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.
The wind and sand outside the plug wrinkled her delicate skin, but it watered the fountain of hope in her eyes.
