Chapter Seventy-Six: Concubine Ning's Death
The time of the child has passed, and the time of ugliness and the time of the sun is the time of curfew. The snow had fallen www.biquge.info covered the rooftops and streets, and the streets were deserted and there was not a sound at all.
Mo Yu numbly walked down the street step by step, and the snowflakes fell on her hair, eyes, and skin, and after a while, there was a thick small layer.
It's over, and from tonight onwards, it's all over. She won't kill the Yuan clan, the blood of human life is her last bottom line, but she won't let her have a good time, and the things she is proud of will leave her little by little.
The world is so big, where can she go, Wuyan Mountain, Ji Mansion, and the Imperial Palace don't seem to be her final destination. The place where her mother used to be, the small and dilapidated hut was her warm memory, but now, her mother is gone, that place has now become a pile of stumps and broken arms, in this world, where else can she go?
The people behind her have been following her, from Ji Mansion to here, he is always behind her, silently waiting. He didn't dare to step forward, he didn't dare to talk to her, he didn't dare to stand beside her.
Before I knew it, I had come to the gate of the palace. The brick arches and palace walls stood cold in front of her, and she was trapped inside because of a ridiculous lie. The guards at the gate of the palace stood there like statues with spears in their hands, and saw a stranger standing outside the palace gate, looking at her vigilantly. Someone came up and asked, "Madam, who are you?" Let's go, you can't stay here for long. ”
It seemed that walking around, she could only come back here.
Seeing that she was indifferent, the guard said again: "Madam, you go quickly, if you don't leave, I'm welcome." ”
Could it be that in her subconscious, she has long regarded this place as a home?
The guard lost his patience and drew his long knife and said to her, "Madam, if you don't leave, I have to invite you to the prison to sit down." ”
Yun Changfeng patrolled the inside and outside of the palace as usual, and when he walked to the South Palace Gate, he saw a dispute between the guards and people, so he wanted to go over and find out. But he didn't want to, it was Concubine Liniang who was standing in front of her, Yun Changfeng was surprised: "Concubine Li, why are you here?" "Isn't she supposed to be in the Ji Mansion?
Mo Yu was dumbfounded, unable to see anything, unable to hear anything, and not wanting to say anything. Yun Changfeng saw her abnormality, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, and said worriedly: "Concubine Li, are you okay?" ”
But seeing that she walked into the palace gate without paying attention, the guards were about to stop her, but they were stopped by Yun Changfeng and ordered: "This is Concubine Li, she doesn't seem to be right." In this way, I will escort the mother back to the palace, and you will go to report to the emperor immediately. ”
"Yes."
In the Qianwen Palace.
After listening to the guard's report, the emperor couldn't help but be surprised. What happened to Moyu in the Ji Mansion, shouldn't she live in the Ji Mansion? How did you go back to the palace, and you came back by yourself.
So he immediately got up and put on his clothes, followed Ma Gonggong, and ran all the way to the direction of the Jade Immortal Palace. Ma Gonggong panted and shouted, "Your Majesty, slow down, Your Majesty, be careful of your step." At the moment of the smoke, when Gonggong Ma looked ahead again, there was no longer the emperor.
In the Jade Immortal Palace, although the master is not there, he still holds the palace lamp, illuminating the entire Jade Immortal Palace, illuminating all corners of the house. The emperor walked to the door of the shop, first smoothed the breath in his chest, and then steadily walked into the hall, and saw that the hall was empty. The emperor lifted the beaded curtain and walked slowly to the room, not at the table, not on the soft couch, not on the bed.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the screen, and the emperor bypassed the screen step by step, and came to the back, and sure enough, on the ground, Mo Yu was sitting there in a daze.
"Mo'er."
Mo Yu was immersed in her own space, and she couldn't see or hear anyone around her calling her and who called her. It seems that this small space behind the screen is her whole world. The emperor squatted down and gently hugged her into his arms from behind, this woman who is always strong on weekdays and light on weekdays will also have a vulnerable side.
"Mo'er, don't be afraid, with me, I will always be by your side."
When she was young, her mother told her about her father, how good he was, and often came to take care of them. He said that his father loved them very much, and that his father did not go to see them because he protected them. But since she can remember, she has not had the slightest impression of her father's father, let alone seen him go to see them, not even Steward Ji and Moyu. Is it that the mother just wants to plant a beautiful fantasy in her heart, to let her know that even if she does not have a father, psychologically, she can have a complete family. The only connection she could think of with her father was the piece of black jade around her neck.
Family, love, friendship, once she thought she had it all, even if she didn't have much, but at least she could make it up. She has a mother who loves her, and she has a night sky that she loves, and Yunshang is like a sister to her, but in the end! And what did she get? The mother died, Yunshang betrayed, and Yetian did not accept her affection. It seems that she has nothing, no family, no friends, and no lover.
The candles in the hall flickered, and the black shadows on the screen swayed with the two figures who snuggled up to each other, as if they were the closest lovers in the world.
It's been a long time, and I don't know how long it has been. A voice sounded in the empty room, "Chai Rong, have you ever been deceived by others in your life?" ”
The emperor rested his chin on the top of her head, and the sudden sound made him think he was hallucinating. Looking down, he could still see Mo Yu's lips still squirming up and down, and he was surprised and happy, surprised that he didn't expect her to speak, and happy that she would call his name.
The word "Chai Rong" seems to have been called so for a long time. Others either called him a general, or a prince, and then the emperor, and he almost forgot his name. But at this moment, there is a woman who calls these two words lightly, without flattery, without fear, without majesty, that is, a wife's name for her husband, and a woman's name for her lover. It's a good feeling.
"Yes, when you fight, you will be deceived by the enemy. When he was the crown prince, he was deceived by other princes. Even if he became the emperor, he was also deceived by the courtiers. It seems that all my life has been spent in being deceived. ”
"Have you ever been deceived by your own relatives?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said softly, "Yes." ”
"When I was young, I was tricked by them into going to Wuyan Mountain and locked in the mountain for ten years. Later, they tricked me back and tricked me into the palace, and they tricked me into dying. The funny thing is that sometimes I know that they are lying to me, but I am still willing to accept it, I am thinking, as long as I obediently let them deceive, my mother can live safely. But today, they told me that in fact, my mother died a long time ago, in that fire, and they just weaved a dream for me, so that I could live in peace in their dreams. I still don't understand whether this dream was woven for me or a net that I woven for myself. What I have lived in the past ten years is not just a joke, my most beautiful years, the best youth, is to live in this joke. ”
"Mo'er, everyone has their own jokes, you just lived in it for ten years. And I have to live for the rest of my life. ”
She was deceived into entering the palace, and she didn't have this palace in her heart, without him. But tonight, she can follow her subconscious self back here after being cornered, does it mean that she has long regarded this as her home and regarded him as her own support?
Chai Rong gently stroked her hair and said quietly: "When I was very young, I left home and lived in my uncle's house. At that time, there were many cousins and cousins with me, and they all looked down on me because I was stupid and slow to learn everything. Later, I redoubled my efforts, and when others started to read books and learn to ride and shoot, and then my uncle saw that I was making rapid progress, so he asked me to follow him into battle to kill the enemy, and I was quite talented in fighting, and after a few victories, my uncle trusted me more and more. Later, the road to winning the heir was thrilling, but fortunately, God was not kind to me, and I finally got to that position. But after sitting in that position, I realized that the high places were unbearable, and there were fewer and fewer people who could talk, and I was getting more and more lonely. ”
"The west wind is tight at night, in front of a separate window. Mo is not a lonely bottle as a companion, only the sound is in the ears. ”
Chai Rong held her tightly in his arms, like the most precious treasure in the world. said: "Mo'er, in the future, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, you will no longer be lonely, no longer afraid, and no one will dare to lie to you again." ”
"Chai Rong, I'm so tired, I want to go back to Wuyan Mountain."
It's good to go back to Wuyan Mountain to stay for a few days, and it doesn't seem very suitable for her to stay in this palace. "Okay, I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow, and I'll send you there the day after tomorrow, okay."
"Okay."
Layers of sleet flew down the window, thicker and thicker, more and more urgent, and occasionally a few cold winds howled, bringing bursts of whimpering. Whose feelings are buried, whose lives are destroyed, in this cold storm and snow, it seems that everything is staying quietly, and there are some restless things that are quietly changing.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Mo Yu woke up from her sleep. The sun was shining in the hall, and it was already bright, Mo Yu rubbed his eyes, slowly adapted to the sudden light, and then slowly supported himself, only to find himself lying on the bed and sleeping in the Jade Immortal Palace.
How did she get back here? She only remembered that it seemed that a lot of things had happened in the ancestral hall, and then when she left the ancestral hall, she also set fire to the ancestral hall, and then ...... In then what she didn't remember. There was a slight pain in his head, Mo Yu rubbed his forehead, but he couldn't remember the memories later.
"Mother, are you awake?"
Mo Yu turned his head to look, he was thinking about Rong, and he was coming in with a basin of water, followed by Tian Er and Biyue who were carrying a meal. Mo Yu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, asking, "Why are you here?" Why am I here? ”
Biyue walked over, took a dress for her to put on, and said, "We don't know how Niangniang came back, you didn't return last night, and this morning Gonggong Ma went to Jifu to pick us up, and then we are here, hehe." ”
It seems that after Aunt Feng told her the truth last night, she left, and then, when the night came, she drove him away, and then she went out with a long sword. It seems to have scared these girls! Mo Yu wiped his face, sat down in front of the dresser to comb his hair, and said, "Did I scare you last night?" ”
"Isn't it?" Biyue said while combing her hair: "Niangniang looked like she was going to eat us last night, I have never seen Niangniang so angry." ”
"People are in a hurry, and they can do anything. Last night, even I didn't know that I had such a terrible side. What happened to Ji Fu later? ”
Xiang Rong walked over, lay on the dresser, and said: "We waited for a long time and didn't see Niangniang come back, and then we heard someone shouting for fire, so we ran over to take a look, and there was a fire in the ancestral hall, which burned down the entire ancestral hall." Then the old lady drove us away, and they stayed in the courtyard to discuss things! Oh, by the way, and then they sent someone to find the mother? ”
"They didn't embarrass you!"
"How dare you! In the morning, Ma Gonggong personally went to pick us up, and it was too late for them to nod their heads! Originally, Concubine Xian Niangniang was also going to come back with her, but later Ma Gonggong said that he was just ordered by the emperor to pick us up and let Concubine Xian Niangniang stay at her mother's house for a few more days to comfort her family. ”
Ma Gonggong just meant that he was only responsible for the next three girls, and the others were not under his responsibility. If he rashly took Concubine Xian back to the palace, if something happened, he wouldn't dare to bear it. has followed the emperor for so many years, and he is very good!
Xiangrong hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Niangniang, what happened last night, please?" ”
Biyue touched her and told her to talk less. Mo Yu was not angry, but said lightly: "Little child, don't ask too much." ”
As he was talking, someone outside the door said that Ma Gonggong and Lord Ye asked to meet.
Mo Yu frowned, Night Sky Man? Night day. What did he come to do, he still came with Ma Gonggong. instructed Biyue to bring the two in.
The two of them came in, and first greeted each other, and Moyu asked them what was the matter with their coming here. Ma Gonggong bowed down and said: "Niangniang, the emperor originally wanted to send someone to clean up Wuyan Mountain today, and wait for Niangniang to go over tomorrow." But the weather is good today, and I'm afraid it will snow again tomorrow, and the emperor is afraid that the trip will be delayed, so he thinks that Niangniang might as well go to Wuyan Mountain today. ”
It seems that there is such a thing, she mentioned it to the emperor last night, saying that she was going to live on Wuyan Mountain. "But there's no need to be in such a hurry, even if it snows tomorrow, you can go back the day after tomorrow."
"The emperor took into account that Concubine Li's spirit was not good today, thinking that the scenery on Wuyan Mountain was beautiful and it was the former residence of Niangniang, so it would be of some help to Niangniang's body and mind. The emperor thinks about Niangniang everywhere, and Niangniang can't live up to the emperor's hard work. ”
Mo Yu frowned, how did this sound like there was something in the words. "Do you have to go today?"
Ma Gonggong smiled silently, Ye Tian beside him glanced at her, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, the emperor asked the ministers to escort Niangniang up the mountain." Niangniang can pack some luggage at will, and if she lacks anything, she will send it to the Ma Gong Guild later. ”
It didn't look like he was here to escort her out of the palace, but like ...... It seems that she was driven out of the palace. But why was she in such a hurry to go to Wuyan Mountain? "Since I'm leaving today, I'll go and say goodbye to the emperor."
Yetian said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, you don't have to go, the emperor has explained that he will go to see Niangniang when he is free." Niangniang should hurry up and go with the minister! If it's late, you won't be able to reach Wuyan Mountain today. ”
Mo Yu looked at the two non-negotiable, and looked at the three people who were standing in the distance and bowed their heads silently, and seemed to have an answer in their hearts. He said in a deep voice: "Say it! What happened? ”
Ma Gonggong bowed down and smiled: "Niangniang, what do you say, what can happen to the blue sky?" ”
Mo Yu didn't listen to Ma Gonggong's explanation, and said to Xiang Rong on the side: "Xiang Rong, you come to tell me, what happened?" ”
"No, nothing happened?"
"Shoot ......" Mo Yu patted the table and stood up, and said sharply: "It's okay, when you lie, your eyes are looking around, and you say, if you don't say it, I won't leave today." ”
Look at me in the hall, and I'll look at you. In the end, it was Yetian who spoke: "Concubine Ning is dead." ”
