3 Flesh of the heart
King Wei thought about himself before he said, "Many times, we overestimate our own ability to bear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Probably!" Ruan Yuan sighed: "But there is no regret medicine." ”
Emperor Chengtian did not recuperate in the dormitory at the highest point in that palace, and Ruan Yuan and King Wei were led by eunuchs to a small hall in the West Palace, the dormitory of the Peace Palace, which was narrow and simple. There is ice in the room, and as soon as you enter the house, it is like entering the cool autumn. On the wide bed, the corners of Emperor Chengtian's mouth were dripping with blood, and his body was covered with a half-new thin quilt. There were five or six imperial doctors on the side, all with pale faces, bowing down and waiting.
The vomiting of blood had already stopped, but when the eunuch reported that Ruan Yuan and King Wei came together, Emperor Chengtian's qi and blood couldn't help but surge, but fortunately, the five or six imperial doctors were all national hands, and they applied needles on the spot, so as not to spray blood again.
"You poisonous woman!" Emperor Chengtian's face was pale, without a trace of the emperor's prestige in the past. With grief and resentment on his face, he was just a twilight father who had lost his beloved son, helpless and sad mixture, gritted his teeth and said, "Say, what is it for?" What benefits did King Wei give you? I want to punish your nine clans. ”
"Heh......" Ruan Yuan didn't salute, straightened up and said: "King Wei doesn't have this ability, he promised me nothing, I wasn't for him." As for the Nine Clans...... Your Majesty, I don't have nine clans, my parents and the only blood aunt let me poison them together in the former town of Beihou Mansion, but how is the emperor going to punish him? ”
As for her two brothers, they were all demoted to the border by Emperor Chengtian, and Emperor Chengtian seemed to be unable to live to take her brother's life, and she was very relieved.
Hearing this, Emperor Chengtian was dumbfounded, and blood seemed to rush into his eyes: "Are you for the Marquis of Zhenbei?" Why didn't I think of it, how could you be willing to let him go after all the effort you worked so hard to marry him? It turned out to be this kind of plan. I won't let you get what you want. ”
Ruan Yuan looked at King Wei.
King Wei was kneeling on the ground to give the emperor a big salute, but Emperor Chengtian stared at Ruan Yuan and ignored him, and did not get the emperor's words, so King Wei did not dare to get up, so he kept kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Chengtian sneered and looked at Ruan Yuan: "Wang Ying, pass on my will, go to Yanbei immediately, and the Lou Shi family will die." ”
When Ruan Yuan heard this, she was not in a hurry, she lowered her head and brushed her clothes, she was still wearing the red wedding dress when she got married. When she married Hou Loushi in the north of the town, she wore this wedding dress.
Wang Ying was the eunuch who brought Ruan Yuan into the palace, and he secretly swept the kneeling King Wei with his eyes, sang a song, and went out.
Ruan Yuan seemed to have regained her previous decisiveness, her face swept away the previous remorse, and she smiled like the master of the palace: "The first emperor died of illness, what did the emperor do when he entered the palace at the beginning of the year?" With the relationship between the King of Wei and the Marquis of Zhenbei, does the emperor think this will can reach Yanbei? It's just that when it arrived, did the emperor think that the nobleman who passed the decree was the Marquis of Zhenbei? Or will Zhenbeihou return to Beijing immediately? ”
When Emperor Chengtian heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out. The imperial doctor was busy for a long time, and he only relieved his spirit a little, his face was flushed, and the imperial doctors glanced at each other, and they all lowered their heads. Emperor Chengtian muttered, "You and I can always deal with it." ”
Ruan Yuan's expression was indifferent, she raised her head, and her eyes seemed to have passed through the palace wall, through life and death. "I know," he said. Even if the emperor doesn't give an order, King Wei won't let me go for the sake of the world. ”
Emperor Chengtian glanced at the eunuch in front of him and said: "Wang Xian, pass on my will, the Ruan family has a vicious mind, poisoning the prince, the crime is unforgivable, the punishment will be executed immediately, a thousand knives, I want her to survive a thousand knives." What do I think? ”
King Wei kept kneeling, kowtowed, and said, "The emperor is wise." ”
Emperor Chengtian knew in his heart that he was already at the end of his strong crossbow, so he didn't let King Wei get up, so he kept kneeling. Ruan Yuan was escorted out by the palace prisoner, from the Peace Hall of the West Inner Palace to the Qing'an Gate from the Inner Palace to the Outer Palace City, handed over to the Guards, and directly escorted to the execution ground.
A thousand knives, Ruan Yuan took a thousand knives. The pain is indescribable.
Emperor Chengtian breathed a sigh of relief, and the poisoned princes were also waiting, especially the crown prince, who was too unwilling. He obviously won, why did he let King Wei flop the cards?
And the royal mothers in the harem are also waiting. The entire poisoned Xungui family in the capital is waiting. As the sun gradually set in the west, these individuals all sent people to the execution ground, although they could not see Ruan Yuan's execution with their own eyes, but they also had to let people describe her tragic situation with their own mouths. I still don't understand the hatred.
After the last sunset was swallowed up by darkness, Ruan Yuan finally died. The death was tragic. Ruan Yuan only felt that her body was light, and a dry soul floated in the air, but she never expected that she still hurt to the bone.
"Am I really dead?" Ruan Yuan was so painful that the roots of her teeth trembled, and she was really puzzled in her heart.
No one answered her.
"Then why do I still hurt?" Ruan Yuan was puzzled. At the time of the execution, she was bent on dying soon, so she didn't feel pain, but if she really died, why did it still hurt? How is it different from what she has heard before?
"Oh!" Ruan Yuan exclaimed bitterly: "I'm so in pain that I can't walk." ”
She thought that she was going to hell if she poisoned so many people. But where is hell? Ruan Yuan floated high in the air, overlooking the crowded execution ground, some cheered, some sighed, and some listened to the letter to see the excitement, but were so frightened that they fainted, or their faces turned pale and vomited.
When it was dark, the onlookers scattered and saw her body gathered and carried onto an ox cart. Ruan Yuan followed behind unfreely, as if there was a force pulling her, and involuntarily floated behind the ox cart.
Those people placed her coffin in the Wan'an Temple outside the capital, and a bunch of monks chanted for her in front of the coffin day and night. Two days later, these people brought the coffin of the green bead and placed it under the coffin where Ruan Yuan was parked, and Ruan Yuan was his companion.
A hundred days later, those people put Ruan Yuan and the green beads into the ground, and there was no monument or erection. It was just dust, the ground was flat, and if it weren't for the new mud separated by the old soil, no one would have seen that this place had been touched.
Ruan Yuan has been in pain all the time, staying in that clearing, day by day, she doesn't know what she is waiting for. Until the new mud merged with the old soil, Ruan Yuan suddenly stretched out her hand to her heart. Lou Shi is the meat of her heart, she can't afford it, and she doesn't want to ask for it anymore. However, she had no substance, and her white hand, through the atrium, grasped nothing more than a handful of nothingness.
It turns out that this is hell!
Ruan Yuan cupped her chest and whispered, praying like a believer: "If I meet again in the next life, if I am moved by your heart again, I will suffer the pain of this knife day and night until I die, unless that person fries his heart meat and let me take it, there is no solution." ”
The heart is empty, and the pain in her body seems to have become Ruan Yuan's habit. She drifted aimlessly with the wind. I don't know when, I was already in a wilderness, surrounded by dead trees and grass, boundless, and there was no path. Ruan Yuan thought: Is there such a desolate place in this world?
Her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable. I want to make this place prosperous, the grass is green like oil, the flowers are like brocade, the poplar flowers are ginseng, the clear stream is undercurrent, and there is a sound.
It can be seen that this place also once flourished. The water source has dried up, so this desolation has been created.
Ruan Yuan searched everywhere for water, but everywhere it dried up. After drifting for a long time, she suddenly found that she was surrounded by a fog from nowhere, and she ran around desperately, using all her strength, but she could not break through this fog. Inexplicable fear took over her heart. Ruan Yuan used all her strength to run towards the road that could not be seen. Suddenly, she felt a foot in the air, and her body fell straight like a falling flower.
The fear in his chest turned into a shout: "Ah......hh
said that after Ruan Yuan took his last breath that day, Emperor Chengtian and all the princes went one after another. The moment the King of Wei stepped out of the Wei Palace, he had already begun to mobilize his own people, and when he stood outside the palace, the entire palace was already under his control.
I have to say that Ruan Yuan is smart.
The summer in Yanbei, like its winter, is extreme. Summer is extremely hot, and winter is extremely cold. Yanbei City, due to the backward and murderous Iron Wolf Clan in the north, has been fighting to protect the border all year round. Lou Shi was sent here by Emperor Chengtian for a felony and placed under residential surveillance. Although he did not do hard labor like other outlawless criminals, he did not have freedom.
Yanbei City was originally a border defense city, and most of the residents in the city were the families of the border laborers, which were extremely dilapidated. The residence arranged by Yanbei City Shou for Lou Shi was dilapidated, and it was not intended to be embarrassing. The wall of the courtyard is high, and there is not a single tree on the side for climbing.
At the front and rear doors, there are heavy guards, people entering and leaving, and they are carefully interrogated. Without the seal letter of the Yanbei City Guard, except for the soldiers who delivered the food, no matter who it was, could not enter. Liu Gui is expensive with Shangshu Ling, and Yanbei City guards dare not stop him.
So from the capital to Yanbei, thousands of miles away, the first thing Lou Shi heard was the news of Ruan Yuan's remarriage. Lou Shi stayed in Yanbei for a few years, and when he saw the people in the capital for the first time, he calmly accepted the letter, and even rewarded the messenger with fifty big money. I chatted with him about the changes in the capital over the years.
After the messenger went out, Lou Shi just looked at the cover of the letter, and had no intention of opening it.
Ruan Yuan's previous maid Luliu didn't report it, she went directly into the room, knelt on the ground, held a stack of letterhead in her hand, and said: "Master Hou, this is left by Mrs. when she left, saying that she showed it to Master Hou when the people of Liu Mansion sent the letter." ”
"Really?" Lou Shi took the letter, and the expression on his face was faint: "I wonder, why didn't she take you away, and even left the letter?" ”
"Master Hou!" Lu Liu wanted to say that the reason why she didn't go with Ruan Yuan was not because Ruan Yuan refused to take her, but because she wanted to stay and take care of him. But when I moved my mouth, I couldn't say that kind of thing.
Lou Shi received the letter casually, and did not open it, but just closed it together with Liu Gui's letter, looking at the envelopes one by one, as if admiring some peerless famous product.
Then, calmly, he said, "Come in with a porcelain basin." As if mockingly, he said: "Now if you want to use a copper basin, you can't." ”
