Chapter 178: Prisoner for Life
A thrilling storm of forcing the monarch finally ended at noon, and the civil and military officials returned to the Daqing Hall with the Queen Mother. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info continued to stand in his position in an orderly manner, no one said a word, lowered his head and quietly made his own daze. And their monarch should be in the Jade Immortal Palace at this moment!
Jade Immortal Palace.
The emperor picked up the tea that Moyu poured for him on the table, and took a sip slowly, which was tasteless. "I used to like rainy days very much, because when it rains, the chances of winning a war are greater. ”
Mo Yu teased the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and whispered, "I'm different, I hate this kind of weather." The rain will either end at once, or it won't rain, and the lingering appearance is very irritating. In the past, when I was on Wuyan Mountain, the conditions were not good, and when I encountered such a day, there was always a musty smell in the house, and the floor was wet, which made people very uncomfortable. ”
"Speaking of Wuyan Mountain, the azaleas on the mountain should be blooming at this time! I really want to see it again, the scenery all over the mountains is so beautiful. ”
"It's truly beautiful." It's a pity, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to watch it again.
"Moyu." The emperor turned his head and looked at her side face affectionately, she was still the same as when she first met, the same beautiful and moving. But at that time, there was never sadness on her face. "You say, if we had met on Mount Wuyan at the beginning, would it have ended differently?"
"No, it won't." Mo Yu looked up and looked back at him. It was inevitable that she would come back and enter the palace, because the Yuan family's deception of her made her willingly accept her mercy. "Chai Rong, on that day, whether we see it or not, the ending is the same. Unless, I have never appeared on the Wuyan Mountain, there is no possibility of us meeting, and there has never been me in your life, in that case, maybe there will not be such an ending today. ”
The emperor put down the teacup in his hand and asked softly: "It's really your tragedy to meet me." ”
Mo Yuwan smiled, and at the moment before he died, he finally put down his body and no longer called himself me. "I've already guessed this ending. It should have happened more than two years ago, but God treated me well and let me live two more years, which is enough. ”
The crystal clear glass of wine, placed in the innermost corner of the table, seemed to have been forgotten, and remained quiet.
"Moyu, play another tune for me! It's been a long time since I've heard your flute. ”
Mo Yu shook his head, "Did the emperor forget?" The flute has long since been shattered. "Or did he break it himself.
As soon as she said this, he remembered that the emerald green flute he had given her was now in a broken box and placed on his desk. "Don't you still have a white jade flute?"
The white jade flute was no longer around, and had already gone to his father's side with her son. "Your Majesty, there are some things, it's good to hear them once, just let that beauty stay in your memory forever and become the most beautiful memory! It's like the azaleas on Wuyan Mountain, you only see it once in your life, and that's the most beautiful one, it's enough. ”
There are some things that you will find wonderful when you hear them for the first time, but when you hear them a second time, you will feel that they are not very good, and after listening to them three times, you will feel that they are no different from others, and they will become boring. Mo Yu is right, that beautiful flute sound, let it keep that beauty forever!
Mo Yu turned his head to look at the gray drizzle outside the hall, and said softly, "Chai Rong, before leaving, I have a request. ”
"I know what you're going to say?" Isn't it her baby palace people!
"Now that you know, please let them go! In this life, it is already unfortunate for them to become slaves and maids who serve others, so don't deprive them of their lives anymore. I want to let me go, and as for Biyue, I hope that after I leave, you can let her out of the palace, let them stay away from Tokyo, and take my share of hope to live the life they want to live. "As for Risheng, that is, Qiang's father-in-law, I believe that he can have the ability to go out on his own.
As for the others, Mo Yu continued: "As for Manxue, she is equal to half of my daughter, if you want, let her be a righteous daughter, let her be a companion with Jingde, if you don't want to, then forget it." Jade is simple-minded, if she makes any mistakes in the future, please spare her for the sake of my feelings. There is also the Ji family, I know that you are going to move them sooner or later, I don't ask you to let them all go, for the sake of them also making a lot of contributions to the imperial court, those who are not involved, just demote them to commoners and stay away from Tokyo. ”
The emperor listened, she explained the aftermath one by one, there was no trace of fear, no unwillingness, no hatred in her tone, calmly as if the two were chatting about family life. This is the first time, they chatted calmly, there is no status and humility, there is no distance between monarchs and ministers. At this moment, he is just a husband and she is just a wife.
"The Ji family killed your mother and killed you. Do you really not hate it at all? Don't hate the queen mother? Don't you hate me? ”
Mo Yu smiled with relief, a long time ago, Ye Tian also asked her like this, how did she get there at that time? "My life is too short to hate. The beginning of hate is simple, but the end is difficult. I don't want me to have a grudge in my heart after I die, and I can't cross the bridge and can't get reincarnation. ”
"You have arranged everything for the Ji family, for the jade, for Manxue, and even for your palace maid, so what about me, I am your dearest person, how should you arrange me?"
Well? Mo Yu looked at him with some surprise, did he need someone else to arrange it? I heard him ask in a deep voice, "I am your husband and your relative, what about my future?" What are you going to do? ”
Husband? What a ridiculous title, is there a husband in the world who forces his wife to die? "Chai Rong, you are the emperor, and I am not qualified to arrange your future."
"Hehe, so. You've never treated me like your husband, have you?"
Mo Yu lowered his head and said, "Our identity is destined to be not an ordinary husband and wife. ”
He closed his eyes in despair, and these words, word by word, came out of her mouth like a huge stone, blocking all his illusions.
Mo Yu raised his head and said, "Chai Rong, I have one more request. As for the child, don't look for it if you can't find it! ”
"Why?" He snapped open his eyes, not expecting a mother to say such a thing. "Do you know what you're talking about, you're going to send our children to the people?"
That's not your child. Mo Yu wanted to say this sentence in a hurry, but gritted her teeth and held it back. "To this day, I don't have any illusions. To put it nicely, it is a homeless folk, and it is a little ugly, but I am afraid that I am already waiting for me on the bridge at this time. Chai Rong, give up! If you can't find a child, you can tell yourself that he is still alive, living in which corner of the world, and living a carefree life. If you can't find it, there is still hope and a thought in your heart. ”
"He is my son, and I can promise you anything, but this is not the case."
"Chai Rong, even if you find the child, I can't take care of him anymore. I don't want his future fate to be at the mercy of anyone, I don't want him to live in a court of deceit every day. Today, I am a demon, and I will die, so what about the demon child, do you think he still has a life? ”
One sentence completely silenced him. Mo Yu is right, he can't protect her today, what about the future? What confidence did he have to keep her child alive? It's not that he wants to kill her, it's that this palace can't accommodate the two of them, it's that Zhou Guo can't accommodate the two of them.
He stood up, walked slowly to Moyu's side, and gently hugged her into his arms. It's been a long, long time since I've hugged her.
Mo Yu rested her head on his abdomen and closed her eyes to feel the temperature coming from him. This man may have had a good feeling, a heartbeat, and a dependence, but in the end, she still chose the night sky in her heart. Speaking of Yetian, he should be standing somewhere outside the palace gate at the moment, waiting for her to appear! Unfortunately, this time, it was her turn to break her promise.
The first time, in Daxiangguo Temple, he asked her to go with him, but she chose to refuse for the sake of her clansmen's lives.
The second time, in Jifu, he asked her to go with him, and she told him a story about the cause and effect of the past life, but she still chose to refuse.
The third time, on a snowy night in Luzhou, he asked her to go with him, and she finally agreed, but he broke his promise.
The fourth, this time, he asked her to go with him, and she agreed, but she didn't have a chance.
She is a wife, but she gave birth to another man's child, and this sin must always be atoned for.
"Moyu, in the next life, can we still be husband and wife again? Be an ordinary couple. ”
In the next life, she has already promised to others. "Chai Rong, take good care of yourself. You will live a hundred years, and you will have children and grandchildren, and you will die right. ”
The answer was not asked, he let go of her, looked into her eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "In this life, have you ever loved me?" ”
Mo Yu smiled with relief, got up and walked to the window, looking at the empty world outside the courtyard. said: "I don't know, maybe I loved!" For a moment, I used to think of this place as a home, and you as my relative, as my dependence, as my home. But this feeling is not love, maybe I also had a momentary heartbeat for you, and there was a trace of liking. But this liking is too shallow, and when I knew that you were using me, I took it back in time and stopped loving it. ”
"Huh." A mocking laugh came from behind him, "It turns out that I pushed you away with my own hands." Can you tell me who you would choose if I didn't do those things to you, between Yetian and me? ”
"There's no need to make such assumptions anymore, there's no point." Mo Yu slowly turned around, faced him, and said, "Chai Rong, after I die, bury my body on Wuyan Mountain!" The azaleas were in full bloom there, and she wanted to keep watching.
"I once told you that in this life, you can never leave me, have you forgotten? Even if you die, you can only lie down next to me. ”
Mo Yu looked away, smiled helplessly, bypassed him, walked to the table, picked up the wine glass that had been hanging for a long time, and said, "This is my last wish." ”
She never thought that it would be this glass of wine that would end her life. And in this way, it is better to die vigorously and cleanly than the arrow given to her by the Queen Mother and the Ji family at the beginning.
This wine is really fragrant, put it under the nose and smell it, you can also smell a faint bamboo fragrance, it should be bamboo leaf green! It seems that in addition to the aroma of wine, there is also a faint smell of medicine. Mo Yu still seemed to be unsure, closed his eyes and sniffed it again, and his heart was suddenly shocked, this medicinal smell was ......
Three days of sleep.
Suddenly recalled that when Biyue went out just now, she deliberately bypassed the table and stayed at the table for half a step. That's what she put in! Three days of sleep, three days of fake death, and after three days, the dead are reborn. It is said that it can not only make people fake their death, but also have the effect of detoxification, and I don't know if it is true or fake? At the beginning, she used this medicine to save Concubine De, and now, he uses this medicine to save her.
Yetian actually took her out in such a way, why did only Biyue know about it, but didn't tell her about this person in advance?
It's okay to be able to leave the palace in such a way, and there will be no Ji Moyu in the world from now on, which is not a good thing. If God favors them, they can still meet and reunite.
"Why? Can you face death so calmly? His deep voice came from behind him.
"Because I don't have to worry, I am calm." It's also because, after drinking this glass of wine, she can meet the people she wants to meet.
His low laughter came from behind him, "No worries, no worries." If Yetian was still alive, now in a corner outside the palace, would you still be willing to die? ”
The wine glass in his hand trembled, Mo Yu sensed his nervousness and shock, hurriedly controlled himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the deceased is gone, don't disturb his undead." If he were alive, I would still be dead, for it was never him who decided my life and death. ”
It's almost time, and the courtiers should have been waiting in the Daqing Hall for a long time at this moment! If the emperor doesn't go over again, I'm afraid they will have opinions again, and they can't let her be at peace before they die.
"Precious."
There is no crying, no reluctance, no unwillingness, no regret, no sadness, some are just two simple words, but they are worth a thousand words of goodbye. No, it's a farewell.
Raise your head and raise your glass, the cold porcelain cup touches the soft red lips, and you will immediately know that you are not drinking tea, but wine, desperate wine.
A powerful palm wind came from her right hand, knocking the glass in her hand to the ground before Mo Yu could drink the wine in her cup. With a "poof", the emerald blue wine glass shattered and the wine spilled all over the floor.
Mo Yu turned her head to look at him in confusion, "Why?" ”
But seeing that he flicked his sleeves angrily, he strode towards the door of the hall and said sharply: "Ma Xing, pass on my will, the noble concubine Ji has lost her virtue, and from now on, she will be imprisoned in the Jade Immortal Palace, burning incense and chanting scriptures day and night, in order to atone for her sins." In addition, remove the palace people, the things used, everything is simple, no one is allowed to visit, and no one is allowed to step out of the Jade Immortal Palace in this life. ”
Chai Rong, why bother?
After all, he still loves her, and he finally realizes that she is as important as Jiangshan. Jiangshan, he wants it, and he wants beauty. Even if we don't see each other again in this life, as long as we know that she is inside, every time I look up, I can see the tiled roof of her palace, and every time I pass by, I can hear her flute.
If there is no her, then what is the point of sitting in this country!
To say that it is not moved, it is false. Mo Yu took a deep breath and closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, two crystal tears had already slipped from her eyes, no matter what, she still thanked him, thanked him for loving her.
Landing on his knees and clasping his hands together, Mo Yu knelt at the door of the main hall, and knocked three times reverently in a direction in the distance. muttered: Guanyin Bodhisattva, the believer Ji Moyu, has the blessing of God, is in good health, not only has a family, a husband, but also a child. However, the believer made a mistake by giving birth to someone else's child while having a husband, this is a sin of my making, and I ask the Bodhisattva not to condemn my child or my loved ones for the sake of the believer's sincere repentance. Let all the sins be borne by the believing woman alone! If the Bodhisattva has mercy, the believer is willing to exchange the three generations of Chaohua for their peace in one lifetime.
Yetian, from now on I am inside the palace walls, you are outside the palace walls, and we will never see each other again in this life. (To be continued.) )
