Chapter 267: Woe to the Water

"We Yekang people have a legend that if you give birth to twins of a boy and a girl, it is a very bad omen,......"

The night is as cool as water, and the long breeze brings a faint fragrance of flowers and the sound of insects and birds, which is particularly lonely, Jin Yi leans in Sima Yulou's arms, and her voice is like a dream, "I don't know where this legend came from, but when I was a child, I heard the people in the old palace who took care of me vaguely talk about it, but where there are such twins, the boy must have a strange life, and his life is unparalleled, but the girl ,...... But it is a curse of fate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

She looked up, her face as bright as jade was apprehensive, but there was a trace of compassion in her purple rippled eyes, "My father is the noble twin son, but he ,......"

Sima Yulou looked at her, and suddenly said, "The queen and your father are twin brothers and sisters?" ā€

Jin Yi nodded lightly, looking a little confused, "My parents never mentioned my aunt to me, but I do remember that she and my father are twins. She sighed, looked back at the window, for a long time, her tone was a little relieved, "This is just our custom of Yekang, but the Central Plains people have never said this, it was my own fuss, today I know that Ru'er is pregnant with twins, this is a little uneasy." ā€

Sima Yulou knew the escape in her heart, after Yekang destroyed the country, the queen did not do anything, and this matter has always bothered her. Why did the queen stand by and watch, and ignore the death of Jiang Jirou, the wife of the Marquis of Qingrong, and now she is so cold to Jinyi, a person of the same clan. This kind of behavior all shows that the queen has no feelings for Yekang.

"The statement of the calamity star is just unwarranted,...... Sima Yulou said softly.

"Yes, the statement of the fate is purely false,...... Jin Yi smiled bitterly at herself, "If my father is really rich and blessed, how could he die so tragically, but it is the aunt who is said to be a disaster, and now she is the mother of the country in Huanghuang, the most glorious and noble woman in the world." ā€

Sima Yulou shook his head slightly, "When the queen first married, the emperor was just a prince who was not taken seriously, and at that time, it was actually humiliating for him to marry a foreign woman who had no foundation in the court. ā€

With that, he stopped and looked at Jinyi. Jin Yi knew that he was afraid that he would mind, so he couldn't help but snort: "I heard Jin Xuan say, it's nothing, Yekang is a small subordinate country, and such a marriage Huajing will naturally not be valued, but for Yekang people, it may not be a glorious thing." ā€

Her eyes stared at the west again, and she said indifferently: "The countries of the Western Regions have been trying to survive in the gap between the two great powers of the Central Plains and the Xiongnu all the year round, and they have to be left and right, but in fact, both sides are unreliable. Yekang is the westernmost point, if there is a war, how much can Huajing help? The tributary is called a minister, and the marriage of a woman is just for temporary stability. ā€

There is a bit of alienation in her tone, she has lived in the Central Plains for many years, and she has taken the identity of others, on the surface, she has no relationship with the Western Regions except for her appearance. But deep down, she still feels a little estranged, so she feels that she has no place to belong, Yekang has been submerged under the yellow sand, long gone, the sky and the earth are big, this heart is like a lonely soul wandering in panic, I don't know where to go.

Sima Yulou looked at her quietly, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, as if he felt guilty and pity.

After a long time, he retracted his mind and looked at the west in the vast dark night with her, "One day, I will take you back to the Western Regions." ā€

Jin Yi's heart was slightly warm, her eyes gradually turned red, but her lips slowly curved upward, and finally brought a smile of contentment and happiness.

After a while, Sima Yulou continued his previous words and continued: "The emperor is deeply attached to the queen, even if after ascending the throne, some ministers advised him to choose another noble daughter of the family as the queen, and he did not hesitate to resign, coupled with the support of the military officers, the queen finally sat on the phoenix throne. ā€

"However, if it is as you say,......" he paused in his tone and muttered, "If she had been said to be a disaster before she was married to Huajing, would she have a grudge against Yekang?" ā€

Jin Yi's heart shook violently, only in this way can it be explained, why the queen is so indifferent to Yekang's affairs, and muttered: "How can it be ......, no matter how you say it, Yekang is also her homeland." ā€

The suspicion of my aunt in my heart for many years, mixed with vague and dark old things at this time, poured into my heart like a tide, tumbling and surging, the few words I occasionally heard when I was a child, the whispered discussion behind the palace people, and the dark and cold palace that had appeared in my dream came to my mind again.

Jin Yi's head roared, and his ears buzzed, as if countless people were hiding in the dark shadows and whispering, "......, disaster star,...... Fate, put her to death......"

Her cold hands groped for Sima Yulou's hand, holding it tightly, wanting to draw a trace of support from it. Like a lightning bolt in his heart, he illuminated the memory he had deliberately sealed.

It turned out that I had known for a long time that my aunt was a scourge in the eyes of everyone when she was in Yekang in her early years, and although she had the dignity of a princess, she was treated coldly.

The dark palace she had been to when she was a child was the place where she was imprisoned before she got married, but at that time she was too young and everyone blindly kept it silent, so this memory became a vague dream, buried in the deepest corner of her heart, and she didn't even dare to touch it.

Jin Yi closed her purple eyes tightly, a cold tear slipped from the corner of her eyes, and her voice was hoarse, "You say, Yekang destroyed the country, she just stood by and watched, or did she ...... and planned it single-handedly?" ā€

Sima Yulou's voice was heavy, "If she is regarded as ominous in Yekang, she must be in a difficult situation, but if she does such a thing to her relatives out of resentment, it will be too vicious......"

Judging from the account book obtained last time, the queen has been secretly befriending foreign ministers for so many years. If it was the queen who instructed Marquis Weiyuan to contact Da Yue, Wusun and Yan Cai, I am afraid she really has such ability.

Thinking of the news that Qi Cong sent back two days ago, the incident that he asked him to check back then really matched with what he remembered, coupled with the old things of the queen that he had just known, Sima Yulou's heart sank, for many years, he had worked hard to clear the fog of the past, and wanted to find out the truth he was looking for, was it really the one he didn't want to see the most and tried his best to avoid?

He was extremely self-controlled, and at this time he forcibly covered the doubts in his heart, not revealing the slightest trace on his face, and his tone was resolute and calm, "These are just momentary guesses, even if the queen is really the mastermind, she is not something you and I can directly question now, instead of being so suspicious, it is better to try to find more reliable clues." ā€

The two stood quietly in front of the window, their eyes condensed in the dark ink outside the building, and the darkness in front of them was like a vast road ahead that could not be identified. (To be continued.) )
