Chapter 144: Farewell in Prison
Concubine De murdered the prince, and the crime was naturally a capital crime. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But because of her true identity, it is impossible for the emperor to convict her of the crime of punishing the nine clans. And because this is a secret matter of the palace, it is inconvenient to publicize it to the public, so she was only imprisoned in the violent room of the palace and waited for the emperor's execution.
If such a crime is committed, there is no escape from execution. But death can also be chosen, a dagger, a white silk, and a glass of poisoned wine. After her death, the emperor's declaration to the outside world was nothing more than a violent illness and death.
The riot room was built in the basement, and Mo Yu walked in and looked at the damp floor, dark walls, and various torture instruments, which was shocking. This is generally for palace people who have made mistakes, so in most cases, people who enter here will not be able to get out alive, and even if they can get out alive, they will already be unrecognizable. Covered with whip marks, soldering irons, gouging out eyes, and severed limbs, only you can't think of it.
At the end of the violent room, the murderer of Prince Zong Yi, Concubine De, was imprisoned.
The palace guards opened the door, and Mo Yu walked in, looking at the woman with messy hair, dirty face, and messy clothes. A few days ago, she was still a dignified and luxurious concubine with a face full of spring equinoxes, but now she has only become a prisoner full of pale eyes. Only a pair of bright eyes, I saw a different kind of light. On the table in front of him, there were three things, a dagger, white silk, and poisonous wine.
Someone brought a chair over and asked Moyu to sit down, Moyu didn't shirk, after sitting down, he glanced at Biyue behind him, Biyue understood, put the things in his hand on the table between the two, and then bowed out.
This morning, the Queen Mother issued an order to give Concubine De death. But before she died, Concubine De insisted on seeing Moyu. The emperor was very worried and said that he would not let Moyu pass, but Moyu thought about it and decided to meet her, which was her last wish! The emperor saw that he couldn't stop her, so he no longer insisted, sent someone to follow behind, and rushed in to save people as soon as there was a situation.
There were only two people left in the prison, Concubine De and Mo Yu, who poured two glasses of wine and drank one of them first. Then he asked softly, "Would you like a drink?" ”
Concubine De's eyes flashed, she walked over slowly, sat cross-legged at the table, picked up another glass of wine on the table, and drank it up. Then he chuckled and said, "Drunk? ”
"Concubine De has a good nose." Mo Yu poured another full glass for her. This wine is no longer available in her palace, she asked Biyue to leave the palace and go to Sikong's mansion to get it. She sent some to Sikong, and she wasn't sure if he had any leftovers, just to try her luck, but she didn't want him to really keep them.
"Hehe, I drank this wine once, it was in the queen mother's palace, and I later learned that it is called Hongyan drunk, and you made it. I didn't expect that your slender and dexterous little hands would do this. ”
In addition to writing and playing the flute, it is not useless. Moyu made wine in the palace for the first time and gave some to the Queen Mother, and it is not surprising that Concubine De can drink it. "If Concubine De likes it, you can drink a few more glasses."
"Huh." Concubine De tilted her head, looked at the wine glass held in the air, and muttered: "Red face drunk, red face drunk, wine not drunk red face, red face sin." Drunken and red-faced, red-faced and drunk, also sinful. Why do men always put their sins on women, women just stand behind them as a cup of warming wine for a place to live, when does it become a sin? ”
Mo Yu lowered her head and didn't speak, whether it was a crime or not was never up to them. Hearing Concubine De beside him ask, "Moyu, don't you hate?" ”
Once, she taught others not to hate, because it was too tiring to live with hate. Just like the night sky, half of the time in a short life is spent in hatred and revenge, but what is the result? Isn't it still the same dust to dust! "What about you, Concubine De, do you still hate it now?"
"I'm a dying man, what do I hate." Concubine De sneered and smiled desolately.
"Your hatred is too strong, this is definitely not something that me, or the virtuous concubine, or the little prince can bring to you. Sister Concubine De, if you trust me, you can talk to me, just let go of a stone in your heart before you leave! Rest assured, I will forget everything when I get out of this door. ”
Concubine De looked at the woman in front of her fixedly, after she became pregnant, she became more charming and moving, and her gestures were full of the elegance of a mature woman and the love of a mother. I don't know why, Concubine De once wanted to kill her, but she trusted her very much. "Don't you hate me for trying to kill you several times?"
Mo Yu just smiled, poured her a full bottle of wine, and said, "At least so far, I'm still alive, aren't I?" ”
"Huh. There is a tolerant and generous person like you in the world, who is stupid and annoyingly generous. But I don't know why, but I trust you again. Concubine De moved her body, found a more comfortable position, and said quietly: "Do you know, when your favorite and dearest people die in front of you one by one, that feeling is like the sky is about to fall." But your mind is still clear, watching all this happen, but there is nothing you can do. There are even times when you have to send poison to kill the people you love the most, and that feeling is worse than death. ”
She understood this feeling, she just watched her mother die in the fire but was helpless, at that time, she felt that the sky was about to fall. But the sky still hasn't fallen, and what greets her is ten years of seclusion. Mo Yu touched his abdomen and said softly, "Although I haven't experienced it, I understand you, this is the fate of being a killer." ”
As soon as the words came out, Concubine De looked at Mo Yu who was stroking her abdomen with her head down in shock, and said in disbelief: "It turns out that you have always known. ”
"Not only do I know, but the emperor also knows."
"Hahaha." Concubine De looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing presumptuously, laughing to the end, even tears flowed. "I always thought I was hiding well, but it turns out that I have long since become your clown. Don't you think it's ridiculous that I bounce around every day! ”
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "I accidentally saw the knife-shaped tattoo on your back, and I saw an assassin in the Great Xiangguo Temple who also had the same mark on his body, so I became suspicious. I asked people to check, and they said that it was the mark of the killer organization used by the Northern Han royal family. As for the emperor, the woman who slept next to her suddenly changed one day, and it was impossible for him not to know. He wants to use you to deliver some news for him, otherwise, how could he keep you after the matter of the Library Pavilion. If I hadn't caught you this time, he would still have let you go. In the end, the most innocent person is not you, but us who are the victims. ”
"The love of the emperor is as cheap as a blank piece of paper, and you are right to leave the palace. It's just a pity, once you have this belly, don't want to go out in this life. ”
There was a small window in the cell the size of a man's head, made of stainless steel, through which it was impossible for a man to escape. The light came in from the outside, and in the dimly lit cell, it was the only light. Mo Yu's happy voice came out, "I used to think that freedom was the most important thing, but since I have him, I know that everything I care about can be given up just for his good." ”
The child is the best gift from God to the mother, and for this gift, the mother can give up everything or change everything. "I once had a child, who was with Liu Tong. The two of us secretly gave birth to him and secretly hid him. But when the child was one year old, he was still found. The man strangled the child to death in front of us, and I watched my child die right in front of my eyes. The man separated us as punishment, changed my face and skin, and made me a different person. Since then, I have never known the people I love, and I have not been in love with each other. ”
Mo Yu seemed to understand where Concubine De's hatred came from, if one day, the emperor would also kill her child. She will also go crazy, and she will also let Zhou Chao Jiangshan accompany her children to the funeral. Women can be gentle, but it doesn't mean that they are docile, they just haven't touched their bottom line.
The king was angry, and rivers of blood flowed. The face is angry, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the rivers are dead.
Her Lord killed her children, so she went and killed other people's children. Mo Yu didn't know whether to hate this woman or sympathize with this woman in her heart. "Concubine De, born in troubled times, we can't help ourselves. If the times have already caused our misfortune, why should we bring it to more people? ”
"Huh." Concubine De turned her head to look at Mo Yu and said, "I didn't understand this truth until now. Moyu, thank you, if it weren't for your tolerance, I'm afraid that when I die, I will still go with hatred. In that case, I am afraid that in the next life, I will still live with hatred and repeat the path of this life. ”
Chaowen said, death can be carried out. Concubine De was able to comprehend this truth at the moment before she died, and she did not ignore the misery of her life. Mo Yu poured the wine, then raised the wine glass and said, "Concubine De Niangniang, I hope you can be an ordinary woman in the next life." ”
For people like them, ordinariness is a luxury, so it is especially precious. Concubine De smiled with relief, and then also picked up the wine glass, touched Mo Yu in the air, and said loudly: "May I be an ordinary woman in the next life." ”
One cup after another, Mo Yu accompanied Concubine De to drink all the red face drunk in the altar. If the red face is destined to be a sin, then let them take a good sin for a good time! After waking up, Moyu is still the concubine of Chai Rong, the emperor of Zhou, and Concubine De, she may have arrived at the Nai He Bridge to meet and embrace her loved ones.
It wasn't until the last cup that Concubine De raised her somewhat confused eyes to look at Mo Yu and said with a smile: "After drinking this cup, you should leave." Then he turned to another glass of wine that had been in the corner of the table for a long time. I don't know if it's drunk, she feels dizzy and her eyes wander. So he smiled and said, "This last cup, I want to drink it alone." ”
Mo Yu didn't say much, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Go all the way, remember, in the next life, be an ordinary woman." ”
"Okay."
By the time the last glass of wine crossed her throat, Concubine De's vision was blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly. In her last consciousness, she realized what was going on. But it doesn't matter anymore, the ending is the same, I hope in the next life, she is really just an ordinary woman. With the last hint of a smile, she said, "I didn't expect that it would be you who gave me a ride in the end." However, it is also my blessing to die at your hands or not. Moyu, you have to live well, and only by living can there be hope. ”
Only by living can we have hope, and only by living can we achieve what we want. When that glass slipped from Concubine De's hand. With a "bang", it landed on the straw mat, and Concubine De lay down slowly, and took one last look at the bright light on the window. In this eye, there seems to be too many things passing by, and everything, everyone, is like the clouds and smoke of the past, and finally it will be dust.
Love and hate, gains and losses, those who are dead and those who are still alive, are all displayed in front of you like a dream. Only at the last moment, in a white mist, a picture appeared, where there was the person she loved, and their common child, which was the most precious thing in her life.
Mo Yu stroked his abdomen, and the child moved at the right time, as if he was resisting something. She patted him lightly a few times and comforted him: "Don't be afraid of my mother." Then looking at Concubine De, who was already lying on the mat and closed her eyes forever, the tear in the corner of her eye, the smile on the corner of her mouth, I don't know if she was satisfied, or she still had regret in her heart. But no matter which one it is, what Moyu can do for her has done. I hope she can really be an ordinary woman.
Pick up the glass of wine prepared for her in the corner of the table, but she didn't have time to drink it. Mo Yu leaned close to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, but finally poured the cup and sprinkled it in the messy grass push. Since it's for her, even if you don't drink it, respect her!
With a final sigh, Mo Yu slowly got up and walked out of the dim room. The sun outside is so hot that you can't even open your eyes. She reached out to her forehead, feeling the burning of her palm. It seemed that something was in her palm, and she reached out to grasp it, and when she opened it again, the palm was still empty, and she didn't grasp anything. It's like life, you can feel it beating, but when you really want to grasp it, you can't grasp anything.
Biyue held a small umbrella on top of Moyu's head and said, "Niangniang, let's go back!" ”
"Hmm. Let's go back! "When the matter is done, I have to go back after all. Mo Yu turned to the prison guards behind her, stuffed a bag of things into their hands, and said solemnly: "Although she is a capital criminal, after all, the emperor has not abolished her title, and she is still the concubine of the Zhou State." Find her clean clothes, send her out of the palace, find a place, and bury her properly. ”
The prison guard checked the silver bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Guifei Niangniang, the slave must do what Guifei Niangniang wants, definitely." ”
"Hmm. Don't play tricks under the nose of this palace, if I know something that you shouldn't know, this palace will make you unable to stay in Zhou Kingdom. Before noon, bury her! ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave must obey." With such a generous remuneration, they don't dare to play tricks. After all, the concubine Niangniang is now the emperor's most favored person, and if she dares to say so, she will definitely be able to do it.
Mo Yu didn't say anything more. Said "Let's go!" After that, he followed Yunshang and walked in the direction of the Jade Immortal Palace. At this point, a legend and a story in this palace have come to an end. Whose turn will it be for the next story? Who will have what the end? (To be continued.) )
