CHAPTER XXIII
The emperor approached Akiki Hibiscus step by step, and suddenly held Akiki's beautiful chin with his hand, forcing Akiki Hibiscus to look at him. So close, he could clearly see the undried tears on her face, her slightly swollen eyes, her frowning eyebrows, and her graying lips.
Her body trembled slightly, like an autumn leaf that would fall at any moment. She was only 18 years old, but she felt that she had reached the twilight of her life.
"What are you crying about?" The emperor asked coldly.
The concubine didn't cry. Without the emperor's permission, how dare the concubines cry? Akiki replied coldly.
"Do you hate me? So that you and your lover can't stay together for life? You said! I told you to speak! ”
The emperor's eyes were close to Qiu Mu Hibiscus, his voice roared, and the whole palace was quiet, as if it were only him and her.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Akiki replied.
How dare she? He is the Son of Heaven and the Sovereign, who would dare to disobey his orders? And she and An Yin are just mustard, not worth mentioning.
"I have already ordered An Yin to leave Yiru City, and he is not allowed to come back, and you don't have to think about it anymore, he will not come back." The emperor let go of his hand and turned around.
Akiki Hibiscus gasped, her body suddenly relaxed, and suddenly tensed, and something went out under her eyes. She picked up a hairpin beside the bed, clenched it tightly in her hand, and asked the emperor's back, "Dare to ask the emperor's concubine what's wrong?" What's wrong with Ann Yin? ”
The emperor turned around, looked at Qiu Mu Hibiscus, and said word by word: "You are my woman, everything you have is given by me, even your life is given by me." There is only one man in your eyes. ”
Akiki laughed like a desperate play, and at this time she was disheartened, like a walking corpse. This glory and wealth is what many women are eagerly looking forward to! But what if you get it? She misses the grassland, the barracks, her father, and An Yin. Now it seems that those days turned out to be the best years of her life. It's a pity that it can't be found again.
She said, "The whole world is yours, isn't it enough?" ”
"Not enough." However, what everyone wants most is what they can't get.
"A concubine would rather die when she was 14 years old."
She raised her head and looked at the angry emperor unusually calmly, Long Yan was angry, and the next thing was the capital crime. But she had nothing to fear, she had nothing left, she had been pushed off the cliff again and again, and she had no strength to struggle anymore. In those days, Goodbye An Yin supported through those difficult days and nights, but now An Yin is no longer back, and the last pillar has collapsed. Akiki Hibiscus has long since died, and now all that remains is a shell, without a soul and a heart.
"Then as you wish! And I will let your lover accompany you, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of you. See how good I am to you, I will give you whatever you want. The emperor sneered.
"You are not worthy to be the Son of Heaven in this world, you are not worthy of being a man!" After that, Qiu Mu Hibiscus raised the hairpin in his hand and stabbed at the emperor.
The gushing blood, the frightened eyes, the golden yellow robe soaked in blood, Qiu Mu Hibiscus looked at the fallen emperor, and laughed, a smile of relief, a laugh of dying death.
The attendants were frightened, and the alarm bell rang in the whole Yiru City: The emperor was assassinated by Concubine Jin!
The guards, led by General Luo, the elder brother of Concubine Ying, immediately surrounded Qiu Mu Hibiscus, so quickly, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Akiki watched as the guards raised their swords against her.
She approached them and said, "He's dead, he's dead, and you're still his dog!" Are you fools? He's dead! This dog emperor is dead! I helped you kill the people you all wanted to kill, why are you still holding your sword at me? ”
"You demon girl kills the monarch, this is a capital crime!"
"He is not your monarch, the monarch is dead!" Akiki thought these people were ridiculous, they didn't understand such a simple truth. The emperor is dead, everyone is relieved, why do they still kill themselves.
The guards took another step closer to Akiki. Hibiscus Akiki held the hairpin tightly, it was her only weapon, not to protect herself, but to end her life. This is the last protection she has for herself.
"Demon girl, you killed the monarch, this crime is to kill the nine clans!"
Zhulian Nine Clans? Qiu Mu Hibiscus laughed, their Qiu family has been stationed in the territory for generations, working hard for the country, her father, her brother died on the battlefield, she is the last person in the Qiu family, and now she is actually sentenced to the nine clans! She shouted to the heavens: "Daddy, brother, this is the monarch you used your life for, and this is the country for which our Qiu family has gone up and down!" ”
The sword flashed with cold light, and slashed straight at Akiki.
At this moment, a man rushed in.
Ann!
"Ah Yin, they are all crazy, they want to kill me, but I am not wrong. I'm not wrong. Akiki Hibiscus tugged on An Yin's sleeve and said childishly.
An Yin's heart ached suddenly, and he protected Akiki Hibiscus behind him, raised his sword to those guards, and said, "I don't want to kill you, you go quickly, you are not my opponent." ”
The guards were still facing them with their swords in hand, and they were closing in on them.
"Up!"
Everyone came together, swords and swords, and the chaotic blades approached An Yin in unison. An Yin clenched his sword and looked at Akiki Hibiscus behind him from time to time. The blades of the sword were chaotic, and the force of a sword was as deep as a sword, and the movements were getting faster and faster, as if they wanted to split all the swords as soon as possible and leave here. However, the siege of swords is increasing, and it seems that it will never end in his life. Although An Yin has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has superb martial arts, he is outnumbered after all, and he has to always take care of the dazed Qiu Mu Hibiscus behind him, so his steps for a long time are inevitably a little vain, and his strength is not as good as before.
A knife slashed through the air and slashed directly at An Yin's right shoulder, hot blood splashed on Qiu Mu Hibiscus's cold face, An Yin's hand shook violently, and the sword fell to the ground.
More than a dozen swords were pointed at An Yin in unison, and if the blade advanced one more inch, An Yin would be pierced.
"Confess your sins, you can't escape." General Luo said coldly.
An Yin raised his head, and his cold gaze went straight to General Luo's eyes, this was his comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side, and it was such a scene to meet again. An Yin smiled lightly and said, "You once used this sword to save me on the battlefield, and now you want to use this sword to kill me." It's good, it's good......"
"Less nonsense! Don't plead guilty yet! "The sword shone cold, without any warmth, but it never moved an inch forward.
Qiu Mu Hibiscus squatted down, ignoring those cold and shining swords, gently held An Yin's face, his eyes like water were as gentle as a mother's light kiss, and said softly: "Let me take a closer look at you, we haven't seen each other for four years, we haven't seen your face clearly just now, it's too far away from you." ”
An Yin smiled, just like in the barracks that year, when he saw Qiu Mu Hibiscus for the first time, dressed in green, galloping on a horse, and the steps on his head swayed and jingled. At that time she was always laughing, laughing unabashedly, like the wind on the prairie, simple and passionate. One glance is a lifetime. When he was fighting on the battlefield, he always thought that if he held on a little longer, he would soon see the wind on the grassland in his heart. can meet again, dressed in gorgeous clothes, high up, but can no longer find the happiness of the past. He lost his girl after all.
"It's me who can't protect you."
Akiki Hibiscus shook his head and said with a smile: "Now, that's it, I know enough, and I don't want anything else." ”
"I am incompetent in this life, and I will protect you well in the next life, so that you will not be hurt in the slightest."
Akiki Hibiscus smiled, like a blooming flower, and all the petals stretched out at that moment, blooming the most beautiful. Her eyes sparkled, illuminating everything and dimming everything.
At this moment, Akiki Hibiscus got up and rushed into the chaos of swords, she smiled, as if to embrace the warmest light.
Hibiscus, born and dying at night, but always sticking to it gently, is a love and reincarnation that will never end.
