It has been more than 20 years since the former dynasty was extinguished, the war broke out, and many countries have been separated, and only a few years ago the wolf smoke has gradually dissipated, and the situation in the world has become calm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter the troubled times, there are still nine countries coexisting, among which the Central Plains Qi State has the widest territory, the Eastern Yan has the most national strength, and Qi Yan is tied for the first of the nine countries, containing each other, and the countries have been able to maintain a superficial peace.

In the twenty-fourth year of Qi Guotaihong, the day of the prince's wedding, the whole world celebrated.

The Jingsi Palace in the corner of the imperial city is a rare quiet place, but it is a cold palace where the concubines talk about it.

Even if it is spring, there is no life in the meditation palace, the house is dilapidated, there are no slaves, and there is only one last palace maid sweeping the ground in the courtyard, cold and desolate.

"Little mercy, what about joy?" Concubine Xiao opened the door and asked the palace maid who swept the floor.

Xiao Lian owed: "Back to Niangniang, eldest lady...... The eldest lady went out in the afternoon. ”

Concubine Xiao suddenly became anxious: "Today is the prince's wedding, don't do anything stupid Huan'er." ”

Xiao Pian complained with a broom: "Niangniang, the eldest lady is so pitiful, the eldest lady is the first beauty in our Qi country, everyone says that the young lady and the prince are a match made in heaven, and the one who married the prince today should be the eldest lady, but now the Qufu family is ruined, and the crown princess's position was robbed by Su Shengxue, not to mention, even her appearance has been ......."

"Xiao Lian, stop talking, Niangniang and Qu Fu are just cousins who have been implicated and moved into the cold palace, it can be seen that this matter is very important, it is better not to mention it, it is not easy for the two young ladies to save their lives." The palace maid Rong'er walked to the door with a girl in her arms.

Concubine Xiao hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk about it, don't go and look for it, Huanhuan has a strong nature, and I don't know what kind of chaos will happen, the Qu family is only left with the two sisters, what this palace can do is to take care of their sisters for their sister and brother-in-law." looked at the girl in Rong'er's arms, and sighed, "Duan Yue is still young, if something happens to Duan Huan, how can this palace explain to my sister." ”

Xiao Lian nodded: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave will go to find it, General Qu and Mrs. have a spirit in the sky, and they will definitely bless the two young ladies." Little Mercy put down the broom, patted the dust off her dress, and went out.

In the imperial city, the eyes are all festive red, but she is wearing a white gauze skirt, haggard and thin, her skin is not clothed, and she walks slowly towards the royal lake, but behind her is a peach blossom scorching, plain clothes and flowers, particularly distinct. When the ripples calmed down, her burned and festering face was faintly reflected in the water.

Qu Duhuan was stunned, tremblingly raised his hand to caress the edge of the scar, and shouted almost frantically: "No! Not ......"

Then tears welled up, knelt down, looked at the ugly face in the lake, Qu Duhuan clenched the ground with his fingers, hating into the bone marrow: "Su Shengxue!" I will repay the pain you have inflicted on me! "Who would have thought that the clear water used to cleanse the face that day would be mixed with skin-eroding poisonous water by that slut!

There were bursts of joy and joy from the East Palace, as if to cover up the heart-rending sound.

Qu Duhuan slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at the peach forest, the flowers were blooming beautifully, and she smiled with tears.

After watching silently for a while, he walked into the depths of the peach forest, sat on the ground under the most flourishing peach blossom tree, leaned against the peach tree, and recalled the past......

"Huan'er, I planted these peach blossoms for you with my own hands, do you like it?"

"You are the only one who is so bold as to dare to plant this peach forest by the Royal Lake."

"I dare to do anything for you, and when these peach blossoms bloom next year, I will definitely marry you."

After years of words, the voice is still in my ears, I never thought that when her Qu family was framed for treason by traitors and was in trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince, who kept saying that she would not marry, immediately regretted her marriage, and even married a slut who ruined her appearance on this day of blooming! Qu Duhuan laughed: "The mountain alliance and the sea oath are only for deception, and the sincerity is used in the end, it turns out that what you value is just my family background!" ”

Qu Duhuan took out the purse in his sleeve, and his fingertips were swaying with the peach blossoms embroidered on it, the stitches were still new, but unfortunately this heart was not human. Looking at the peach blossoms on the branches, Qu Duhuan had a shallow smile on her lips, after betrayal, only this peach blossom beauty lived up to her.

Thinking of her father and brother who died unexpectedly, Qu Duhuan frowned, pinched the purse in her hand, the family was overturned, her face was ruined, it was the end of the road, how many people were looking forward to her death, but she Qu Duhuan refused to accept her fate! Not only does she have to live well, but she also wants to make the traitors who framed Zhongliang and poisoned the Qu family die a good death! And Su Shengxue!

"Why is the young lady here, let the slave and maid find it."

It was her personal maid Ruyi who came.

Qu Duhuan took a deep breath and said calmly: "I heard that the flowers are blooming, come and take a look." ”

"The old lady is gone, the young lady must be well, don't think about it." Ruyi persuaded.

The corners of Qu Duhuan's lips raised slightly: "It's not easy to die, but if I die, wouldn't dozens of people in Qufu give their lives in vain." ”

"Today is Madame's 37th death day, we can't help ourselves in the palace, we can't pay tribute openly, the slave maid brought wine, and Miss will use this wine to honor the spirit of the lord and Mrs. in the sky."

Ruyi put down the tray, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qu Quanhuan.

Qu Duhuan took the wine glass, looked at Ruyi and said, "You have a heart." ”

"Miss is still polite to the slave maid."

Qu Duhuan knelt and raised a glass to the sky: "Father, mother, don't worry, as long as your daughter is alive, the Qu family will not die in vain!." With that, he drank the wine down.

There were tears in his eyes, a gust of wind blew, and the flowers were colorful, thinking that his father and mother heard it, Qu Duhuan smiled, put down the wine glass, and said softly, "Go back." ”

Ruyi smiled and replied, "Yes." ”

Qu Duhuan stood up on the ground, his chest suddenly cramped, and he sat down, only to feel a hot current oozing from the corner of his mouth, and when he reached out to see it, it was blood! Looking at the wine jug and wine glass on the ground, Qu Duhuan suddenly understood: "This wine is poisonous!" ”

"Miss has been smart for a lifetime, but unfortunately when she was confused, the lord and lady are gone, and Miss shouldn't be alive."

Qu Duhuan's eyes were like torches: "Ruyi you!" His voice grew hoarse.

Ruyi looked at the dying Qu Quanhuan and smiled: "Miss, don't complain about the slave maid, the Qu family is gone, and the young lady is no longer the daughter of the gate, the good birds choose the wood to perch, and the slave and maid should change the master." ”

Qu Duhuan no longer had the strength to speak, the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth was particularly dazzling on the white veil, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

"The slave maid and the young lady's master and servant have a fight, and they can't bear to let the young lady die in vain, in fact, this cup of poisonous wine was given to the young lady by His Royal Highness the Prince, so as not to make the young lady unhappy in the future." Ruyi smiled, packed up the drinking utensils, and left as if nothing had happened.

At sunset and dusk, the remnant sun wept blood, reflecting the peach blossoms as red as a flame......

"Miss, Miss, Miss......"

Xiao Lian searched all the way and found the back under the peach tree, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally found it." As he approached, he called, "Miss, let's go back, Niangniang is worried about Miss." ”

There was silent silence, gusts of wind blew, flower branches trembled lightly, and countless flying flowers fell like rain, covering her green silk and white clothes.

"Miss?"

Xiao Lian walked up to her, looked at the bloodshot on the corner of her mouth, and trembled in horror: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qu Duhuan didn't have the slightest reaction, Xiao Lian mustered up the courage to reach out and probe Qu Duhuan's snort, withdrew his hand suddenly, and knelt on the ground in a daze: "Xiao ...... Miss. ”

The red face is gone, just like this flying flower, silently......

The splendid East Palace Hall, the bell is pleasant, the sound of silk and bamboo is bursting, and the relatives of the emperor and the country in the palace gather to watch the happy event, and it is peaceful.

Emperor Taihong and Concubine Shu sat on the throne, Concubine Shu looked at the couple who came from outside the hall, and smiled with satisfaction: "Shengxue and He'er are really a pair of beautiful people. ”

Concubine Hui, who was watching the ceremony from the side of the hall, drank a glass of wine and raised the corners of her lips: "Didn't Sister Shu once praise the prince and Qu Duhuan like this?" ”

Concubine Shu was displeased when she heard this, and her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "The daughter of a traitor, how can she be worthy of He'er in this palace." ”

Emperor Taihong's face immediately sank, and he said angrily: "On the day of the prince's great joy, what are you doing with these." ”

Concubine Hui made repeated reparations: "Your Majesty is angry, and the concubine is unintentional." ”

Concubine Yi on the side naturally knew the clues, and also knew that Emperor Taihong's anger was just because of guilt and avoidance, so she drank alone, watched everything coldly, and was silent.

When the newlyweds saluted, a palace maid quietly came in and whispered a few words to Concubine Hui, who was faintly pleased, and then pretended to be depressed and sad and stood up: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to tell you." ”

The music stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Hui, who dared to interrupt the prince's wedding, knowing that what she said should be extraordinary.

"What?" Emperor Taihong asked.

Concubine Hui looked sad, and said slowly: "Qu Duan drank and committed suicide, and he was in the peach forest planted by the prince by the royal lake." ”

As soon as these words came out, the temple was in an uproar......

A figure next to the hall rushed out quickly, and from the vacated seat, it could be seen that it was King Rui Qin Zhao, and King Rui left the table without even saying hello to Emperor Taihong, which frightened King Rui's mother, Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian was a timid person who did not dare to speak, so she had to wait quietly for Emperor Taihong's fate.

The hall was noisy and chaotic, and Tai Hongjun looked solemn, looking as if he was distracted, and did not pursue the departure of King Rui.

Concubine Shu saw that her son was already stunned, and she was worried that he would be as impulsive as King Rui and do something stupid regardless of the situation. Looking at Concubine Hui who provoked the incident and had ulterior motives, Concubine Shugui angrily reprimanded: "Concubine Hui, this is He'er's wedding, what kind of heart are you talking about now!" ”

Concubine Hui sighed: "Everyone present knows that Qu Duhuan is not an ordinary woman, not to mention that Your Majesty has just forgiven her sins before, and she is gone, of course she has to report to Your Majesty." ”

Most of the relatives and nobles in the palace sighed and were jealous, only the crown princess Su Shengxue sneered, and the splendid hijab covered Su Shengxue's incomparably happy smile.

Everyone talked about it, and they all knew that Concubine Hui's move was intended to provoke the prince to leave the wedding and go to see Qu Duhuan for the last time, but they didn't expect the prince to be able to endure it, which mostly confirmed the rumors in the palace recently: The prince is just a hypocrisy and a fake luck.

When the hall was in chaos, the prince turned around.

"Prince!" Concubine Shu was anxious.

Su Shengxue lifted her hijab when she heard the shout, and saw that Concubine Shu glanced at her, Su Shengxue took the prince's hand, looked at the prince Qin Hewan and said: "Prince, the concubine is the one who can help you, Qu Duhuan is just a lost dog, not worthy of pity." ”

Qin He's eyebrows tightened, he glanced at Concubine Shugui, closed his eyes deeply, and nodded.

After keeping the crown prince, Concubine Shu Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Emperor Taihong: "Your Majesty, today is a day of great joy for Herr, don't let unlucky people disturb the happy event, let's continue." ”

Emperor Taihong agreed.

The sound of music started again, Su Shengxue smiled and covered her head.

Concubine Yi picked up the wine bottle and whispered to herself: "Qu is happy, you have unparalleled intelligence, but you have provoked jealousy......"
