Chapter 122: Glory as an Ember

"My sister is so bold that she dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Xiao Junwan whispered to Concubine Xiao: "Auntie, don't say it, it's unclear here, let's go back." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Concubine Xiao had made up her mind, so she refused to leave, and straightened up: "I won't go, if Your Majesty doesn't fulfill his promise today, I will kneel here forever." ”

Emperor Taihong couldn't bear it anymore, waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Come on, escort them down." ”

"Yes."

Several guards rushed in, pulled Xiao Junwan away, and were about to arrest Concubine Xiao, but when they saw Concubine Xiao sneering a few times, they got up and ran away from the guards, rushed towards the side of the hall, and hit the pillar headlong.

"Auntie!" Xiao Junwan was frightened.

Before long, Concubine Xiao fell to the ground, her eyes still open.

Most of the concubines present were frightened by this scene, only Concubine Shu glanced at it indifferently and said nothing.

"Auntie......"

Xiao Junwan broke free from the guards and ran to Concubine Xiao to help Concubine Xiao up, who was already dying.

"There is not even a wound on the forehead, I'm afraid it's pretending." There are concubines who sneer.

"Aunt......" Xiao Junwan shouted in a daze, only to feel a warm current in his hand, and when he pulled out his hand, he saw that it was full of red blood, which was piercing his heart.

The golden hairpin on Concubine Xiao's bun pierced straight into the top of Concubine Xiao's head.

"Auntie, you can't be fine." Xiao Junwan shouted towards the hall again, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Everyone was silent, and Emperor Taihong sat on the dragon chair, looking at the other side, unmoved.

Emperor Taihong didn't speak, Concubine Shugui didn't say anything, who dared to pass on the imperial doctor.

Concubine Xiao grabbed Xiao Junwan's arm, and her voice was weak: "In the palace...... Live...... Stay alive ......"

Soon after the words fell, his hand suddenly let go and spread it on the ground.

Xiao Junwan looked at it in a daze, leaned over and whispered in Concubine Xiao's ear: "Auntie, I'm happy." ”

Concubine Xiao didn't react anymore......

A tear fell, she trembled and stretched out her hand to probe Concubine Xiao's snort, and suddenly closed her eyes deeply, already in despair.

"What are you doing standing, take her down quickly, bad luck." Concubine Shu glanced at a few guards and said sharply.

Xiao Junwan watched in a daze as the guards carried Concubine Xiao away, blood dripping all the way, some of the concubines present hid their faces and did not dare to look, and some watched coldly.

Xiao Junwan slowly walked out of Wansheng Palace, like a walking corpse, not half angry, but there was a sneer on his lips, the golden hairpin that cost Concubine Xiao's life was given by Emperor Taihong when Concubine Xiao entered the palace.

There are no coffins, no burial in the ground, and some are withered branches...... Dry firewood...... A fire......

Xiao Lian knelt on the ground and wept silently.

Hongling hid behind Ziying and didn't dare to look, and her eyes were red.

Ziying helped Xiao Junjuan, and couldn't bear to sigh.

And in Xiao Junwan's eyes, there were no more tears, the palace was a place where tears could not be tolerated, and there was only a raging fire in his eyes, and the hatred was getting more and more intense.

"Miss, mourning." Ziying finally couldn't help but persuade.

Xiao Junwan nodded.

The concubine's court clothes were also reduced to ashes with the fire, and the glory and humiliation of the first life were dispersed with the wind.

The dead are gone, and the living should live well for them.

Jingsi Palace, so quiet that people only feel terrible, Hongling and Ziying stayed in the courtyard, comforting the little pity who had already cried into tears.

It was getting late, and it was pitch black inside the closed door.

Xiao Junwan glanced at her hands, the dripping blood had been washed away, she would never forget the taste of being stained with her hands and clothes by the blood of her relatives, and the scene of Qu Duyi's suicide with a sword two years ago came to her mind again.

There are no relatives around her at all.

Leaning against the wall and falling asleep, and being woken up by nightmares again and again, Xiao Junwan looked at his wrist again, the red rope had already been cut by himself, and only a thin rope was used to wear Yu Jue and tie it roughly to his wrist.

"The red rope can ward off evil spirits, so that the master will not have nightmares."

Thinking back to the past, a bitter smile appeared on her lips, and she put aside her memories, and she was finally lonely.

At dawn, Xiao Junwan opened the door, and a ray of sunlight shone in, dispelling the haze, burying the sorrow deep in his heart.

"Miss." Ziying and the others greeted her.

Xiao Junwan smiled slightly: "I'm fine." ”

"It's all bad to blame the slave and maid, if the slave and maid are not careful, the mother will ......"

Xiao Junwan said with heavy eyes: "Don't say it." She looked at the sky, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and Concubine Xiao left, which was also a relief.

Three days later.

"Your Majesty has a decree to send Xiao Junjuan to Wansheng Palace for an audience."

This voice broke the original calm of the Jingsi Palace, Xiao Junwan took off the white grass flowers on her head, from the moment she stepped out of the door of the Jingsi Palace, this life was destined to be ups and downs, and it was impossible to be as still as water.

Xiao Junwan appeared in front of the gate of Wansheng Palace, expressionless, as if nothing had happened, which surprised everyone.

Xiao Junwan walked in slowly, knelt down and saluted in an orderly manner, and stood up again.

There are a few more people in this hall today, the crown prince Qin He, the Rui king Qin Ming, the Feng king Qin Zhao, the fourth prince Qin You, and even Qin Jiarou, who has always been unable to stay, came to see the excitement.

Qin Jiarou ran to Emperor Taihong's side and asked directly, "Father, which brother do you want to point out Xiao Junwan to?" ”

Qin Ming, the Rui King, who had not yet married the princess, was the first to bow his head, King Feng already had the main room and the side room, so he was not afraid, but glanced at Qin Ming with some playfulness, Qin You didn't understand the situation, in front of so many people, he was a little timid, and stood in a proper manner.

"Now there is only King Rui left who has not married." Concubine Hui said intentionally or unintentionally.

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and she who had always been not good at words actually said: "Hui ...... Sister Hui, Your Majesty has intentionally promised Ming'er the daughter of Wan Shilang of the Criminal Department a few days ago. ”

"Doesn't King Rui not want to marry Wan?"

"That'...... That's because he wasn't sensible before. Concubine Xian said, and hurriedly glanced at King Rui.

King Rui glanced at Xiao Junwan, although he was extremely reluctant, but he knew that he and his mother were not valued by Emperor Taihong, so in order to prevent Emperor Taihong from using him to perfunctory the people of Qi State, he still came out and said: "Father, the son is willing to marry Miss Wan." ”

Xiao Junwan listened indifferently, Rui Wang Qin Ming was quite familiar with the wind and the rudder, his mother was not favored, and his family background was not outstanding, his status in Emperor Taihong's heart was self-evident, so he has always been attached to Qin He, on the surface for Qin He to give advice, but in fact, he has hidden a lot of thoughts, he studied hard, and he could barely raise his head in front of Emperor Taihong by relying on his full of knowledge, and the "Qizhou Atlas" was compiled by him.

It is precisely because Qin Ming has his own mind that he will never leave useless people around him, even if it is a princess, he must be able to help him, he would have even disliked the maid's daughter Wan, but now let him choose one between Wan's and Xiao Junwan's, he will only choose Wan's without hesitation.

Qin Jiarou said again: "Since the second brother doesn't want it, why don't you let Xiao Junwan be the side concubine for the eldest brother?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu suddenly became anxious, and scolded lightly: "Rou'er, nonsense!" ”

"Mother, you said that your daughter is messing around, why don't you ask the prince's brother if he agrees."

Qin He looked at Su Shengxue opposite, and wanted to agree but hesitated: "Erchen......"

"Your Highness." Su Shengxue was anxious. (To be continued.) )
