------Off topic------

"Xiao Wu, prepare the carriage, I'm going to Jinchuan Gate-"

She scolded in a low voice, got up with red eyes, and walked downstairs with the hem of her skirt.

"Ya, Zhao Mianze's slut."

If Zhao Mianze really let people pretend to be her, in that black-lit place, so far away, Zhao Shijiu would not be fooled.

In the past few months, she has not contacted Zhao Jiu, and he does not know about her pregnancy.

At the beginning of the summer, there was a "groan" in his heart.

Ragula's brow furrowed again, glancing at her face, "...... It's said to be you. ”

Princess Jin? At the beginning of Xia, Qihu looked at her suspiciously, his eyes depressed, "Where did Princess Jin come from?" ”

But he nodded without hesitation, "I just got the news that Zhao Mianze tied up Princess Jin at the city gate and negotiated conditions with King Jin......"

Lagula squinted at Dongfang Qingxuan's stiff face, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Brother Lagula, what's going on?"

His voice was low, deep, and full of emotion, but at this moment, Xia Chuqi's eyes were on Ragula who hurried up from behind him. Looking at the cold sweat on his head, she couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen nervously, and asked before Dongfang Qingxuan.

After being silent for a moment, Dongfang Qingxuan nodded, "Yes." Achu, in fact, I ...... Really love you. ”

With a light sigh, she seemed to be smiling, "Women are sensual, easy to fall in love, and easy to give up love." Men are rational and in love, it is difficult to transfer, what do you want to say, is this what it means? ”

It was so bright that Xia Chuqi couldn't doubt the truth of his words.

His eyes were brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Spit out a turbid breath, she smiled lukewarmly, and was about to reprimand the ruthlessness of men, but Dongfang Qingxuan came closer, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile, "But Achu, once a man is really in love, he will not change easily." ”

But Xia Chuqi seemed to understand. She had heard that why should a man say love to a woman? In fact, it is not that he is really in love with a woman. There are many reasons to say "love", mostly to soak her, to have sex with her, or to increase harmony and please the female companion. But in fact, in the hearts of men, the kind of love that has the same perception as women does not exist. Their love and desire are almost inseparable, most of them are just likes, or on the basis of liking, the feelings accumulated over time.

After a long hesitation, he didn't continue, but just moved his prosthetic leg and laughed mockingly.

Dongfang Qingxuan said: "A man will not fall in love with a woman easily, if he says he loves ......"

"Very little? What does that mean? Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows.

"Achu, there is very little love from men."

It seemed like a long century before I saw him smile.

His heart was beating fast with her gaze intertwined in the moonlight.

This time, Dongfang Qingxuan didn't answer for a long time.

Xia Chuqi thought about Dongfang Qingxuan's peerless demon surrounded by all beauties, the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching slightly, and he suddenly tightened his eyebrows again, put away his smile, leaned forward, looked at him seriously and asked, "Then will you fall in love with them because you have a skin-to-skin relationship with them, and they have children for you again?" ”

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and he also smiled, "Yes." ”

Xia Chuqi smiled and asked again, "You are also the Venerable of the Great Khan, will you accept a lot of concubines in order to prolong the heirs?" ”

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her and thought for a long time, "Yes." ”

"No, I didn't laugh at anything. This one...... You don't understand. Xia Chuqi rubbed his sourly cheeks, squinted slightly, looked at Dongfang Qingxuan's more bewitching handsome face under the moonlight, couldn't help but be curious, raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "Dongfang Qingxuan, let me ask you, when your illness is cured and you return to Wuliang Khan, will you marry a wife and have children?" ”

Dongfang Qingxuan saw her laughing so much that tears came out, and she couldn't help frowning, "What are you laughing at?" Is my words that funny? ”

It turns out that they can personally choose a woman for their husband, and in their opinion, it is also a great honor.

Isn't that good? Xia Chuqi was stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes surveyed her face, and he didn't seem to know much where her emotions came from, but he knew that the emperor's harem had been purple and red for thousands of years, and there were so many beauties, so it was normal for her to be nervous and anxious. However, his identity is too delicate, and some words are difficult to say. said it too seriously, I was afraid that she would go to her heart and have a pimple. said it too easily, and I was afraid that she would blame him if something happened in the future. After thinking about it, he had to joke, "No matter how long the emperor's love lasts, if you become the queen, you can at least check for him, and the concubines he wants must go through your hands." If you don't want to, no matter how beautiful a person is, you won't be able to get to his side. Isn't that good? ”

"Title ......" Xia Chuqi muttered in a low voice, with a look of hesitation on his face, "But the love of the emperor has not lasted long since ancient times." Will he be an exception? ”

Dongfang Qingxuan pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows to look at her, and smiled slowly, "There are many benefits. At least he can give you the credit you want. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly smiled and asked, "Dongfang Qingxuan, do you say it's good to be the emperor?" ”

The sourness was strange, not painful, not uncomfortable, not happy. It's like a thing that has been planned for a long time, and when you finally want to clear the clouds and reach the pre-set end after all the hardships, the relief, tension, and emotion are there.

Are you happy? At the beginning of summer, Qi's nose was a little sour.

Dongfang Qingxuan slowly pulled his lips away and smiled lightly, "Zhao Zhu will attack the city tonight, and his imperial dream is about to come true." After a pause, he added, "May I ask the queen mother, are you happy?" ”

"Okay, thank you for the kindness of the third son." Xia Chuqi put his hand on the brazier and roasted it, seeing that he was still looking at him with such a shallow smile, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled, "It's strange, what are you doing to look at me like this?" Could it be that I'm handsome again? ”

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her with a smile, "Aren't you cold?" ”

"There's a fire on this day?"

But such a tense and cramped atmosphere, Xia Chuqi couldn't feel it at all. She tilted her head slightly, her crystal eyes raised, quietly observing the bright moon. There was only one lone lamp on the small platform, the light was not too bright, Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her face half-hidden in the firelight, frowned, and asked Rufeng to go and get a brazier to put beside her, and looked at her for a long time, she came back to her senses, turned her head and glanced at the brazier in surprise, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, very good-looking.

The guards of the Jingshi passed by one after another, and they were all rushing to the city gate.

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled at her bloated body, teasing, and the footsteps of Qi Brushing sounded in her ears again.

"It's not that you dress like a bear, it's that you look like a bear."

"yes. I'm getting more and more afraid of the cold. Xia Chuqi sniffed and pulled the robe on his body, rubbed his hands back and forth, as if it was still very cold, and put his hand to his mouth to breathe, "Since I conceived this child, my body is getting colder and colder day by day." She chuckled, and then glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan's thin autumn clothes playfully, "It's still the third prince who is handsome and personable." Unlike me, dressed like a bear. ”

"You're getting colder?"

Is it that cold? Dongfang Qingxuan frowned suspiciously, looking at the thick clothes on her body.

"Hmm", Xia Chuqi didn't know if he saw his words, looked at the distance for a while, and then quietly looked at the sky, looked at the gradually brighter moon, stroked his face, took the robe on the chair sideways and draped it on his body, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Watching the lunar eclipse is also a sin, the weather today is very strange, the sun is so big as the day, but it is so cold at this time." ”

"It's not too late. The most wonderful was not missed......"

Dongfang Qingxuan glanced at her, listened to the shouts of the guards coming and going on the street downstairs, and smiled faintly.

"I knew you were so good here, I would have been here a long time ago."

Looking at those familiar places, Xia Chuqi lazily and half-closed his eyes, full of emotion.

As Dongfang Qingxuan said, it is a good place, the small building is very high, and there is a small platform specially extended on the top of the building, which can overlook the night of the Beijing Master City. Although it is currently in a state of war between the two armies, from a distance, the houses and pavilions below are still prosperous and bright. Especially in the direction of the imperial city, the palace towers with carved railings and paintings are even more deserted and solemn in such a special night.

After dinner, she went to Dongfang Qingxuan's Qixia Pavilion.

Sometimes she can't hear it, but it's actually good, at least her world is quiet.

The noisy capital did not affect the mood of Xia Chuqi.

The big war is about to start, and the Jingshi City, which has been noisy for a day, is even more tense. On this day, Jingshi City was all embarrassed, so embarrassed that it almost did not have the demeanor of the imperial capital. No matter how fierce the slogan is, there are still a few people who really dare to go into battle and fight with the Jin army. Most of them are unarmed, hiding and thinking about how to keep their families safe and survive in the troubled times......

~

Of course, it will also be the last.

It was also the first time the two men met after several years of the Civil War.

This is the first conversation between the uncle and nephew after four years.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

Zhao Jun looked at the figure on the city wall and smiled coldly.

"Uncle Nineteen, we meet again."

Zhao Mianze really spoke, the sky was dark, and as soon as the time came, he personally led his ministers to climb the city wall of Jinchuan Gate, and a bright yellow dragon robe shone with majesty in the light of the torch. Zhao Zhu rode a horse under the Jinchuan Gate, with black armor, black war horse, and black cloak, and looked at him from a distance in the crowd of black and oppressive Jin troops. After a moment of silence, Zhao Mianze asked the eunuch Zhang Siha to bring the wine, filled it in the cup, the first cup was sacrificed to the sky, the second cup was sacrificed to the earth, and the third cup was held in his hand.

~

"In!"

"C-one!"

"Yes." Lao Meng was ordered to leave.

Zhao Tsun looked at him calmly and said in a low voice, "Once the war starts, you lead the special combat team, and the idea is to enter the city and get in touch with the big bull." ”

"The subordinates are here!" Lao Meng bent down and half-knelt on the ground.

Looking at his background, Zhao Tuo turned around coldly, "Old Meng! ”

Zhao Zhu was ready to break the city, and he would soon be able to see Wuren. With a light smile, his handsome face was raised high, looking at Jinchuan Gate, the corners of his lips were raised, and he turned around and beat his horse away.

After such a long journey, he waited for this day.

"Yes." Yuan Yu straightened his back, his voice excited and excited.

Zhao Yu saw that the two of him were so affectionate, he squinted his eyes slightly, his deep eyes slowly turned away, and fell on Yuan You's face, with undoubted perseverance in his voice, "Shaohong, Zhao Mianze came to Jinchuanmen in person to find a way to delay time with us and wait for rescue." Either way, the city must be broken tonight. Now you lead the troops to Dinghuai Gate and echo Chen Jing and me. ”

Qinglan was overjoyed, glanced at Chen Jing, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Your Highness Xie." ”

After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded again in compromise, "That's right." ”

A woman is also a human being, and she can do the same thing as a man.

But for some reason, every time Qinglan asked for help, he would think of Ah Qi's face.

In the past, Zhao Zun resolutely did not allow women to go into battle.

Following them all the way, Qinglan and Chen Jing sang and followed their wives, and their relationship was very close.

"Yes! Your Highness. Thousands of miles to Jingshi, Chen Jing was waiting for this moment, and the whole person became excited when he got the order, he clenched his fists tightly, looked sideways at Qinglan, and was about to persuade her to go back to the camp to wait, but heard her say with a smile, "Your Highness, I ask for an order, follow Brother Chen." ”

"Lead 50,000 elite soldiers along the moat to the Stone City Gate."

"The subordinates are here!" Chen Jing bowed.

"It's time to prepare." After a pause, he said coldly, "Chen Jing! ”

Zhao Zhu's face changed, and he slowly looked up at the sparks moving on the city wall, snorted without emotion, and looked at Chen Jing and Yuan You on his side.

"Jin outside the city, the Jin army listened. Your Majesty has a decree, and you will personally lead your ministers to Jinchuan Gate to talk to the King of Jin! ”

At this time, a head suddenly protruded from the wall of Jinchuan Gate. The lieutenant seemed a little nervous, and his voice stammered.

Yuan You looked up to the sky and sighed, glanced back at Chen Jing and Qinglan, who were also silent, and shrugged his shoulders, "You are the boss, you can do it." ”

Zhao Jun squinted his eyes, and on his graceful and noble face, he was as calm as a god, "Wait a minute." ”

“…… Tianlu! Yuan You's face was angry, "The fighter plane is fleeting, we can't wait any longer." ”

After a slight pause, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I don't know why, my eyelids are jumping so much." ”

"That's not right." Zhao Jun replied lightly, his eyes fixed on the flag on the city wall in the autumn wind, "There must be something big about the fire in the palace." ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're worried about your mother's safety. But Tianlu, you don't want to think about it, if Concubine Gong can be handled by Zhao Mianze, according to his virtue, why wait until today? If he could, he would have used your mother to force you to withdraw from the army. With Emperor Hongtai here, your mother will be fine, don't worry! ”

Carrying the reins of the horse and turning around several times, seeing that Zhao Zhu was still motionless, Yuan You was finally convinced.

Compared to Zhao Zhu's thoughts, Yuan You seemed to be more anxious. Although he didn't mention Wuren Xiaoxiao in his mouth, he was actually most worried about her. Wuren Xiaoxiao is different from Chen Daniu and Yan Ergui. No matter what danger they encounter, they are men who have experience in war and know how to protect themselves. But Wuren Xiaoxiao is a woman's family, and she is by Zhao Mianze's side, in that heavily guarded imperial city, what should she do when she encounters this kind of thing?

"If you don't attack, what else can you do?" As if sensing his eagerness, the horse walked back and forth uneasily. Yuan You angrily took the reins of the horse and walked around Zhao Zhu's side, "How many hours have we been around since we arrived in Beijing in the morning?" Do you see that there are more and more guards on the city wall, does Zhao Mianze have the intention of calling out the army? Your tiger has hit the foot of the mountain, don't go up the mountain directly and claim the king, when will you stay? ”

Zhao Zhu's brows frowned slightly, and he looked at his anxious eyes, "Shaohong, the Jingshi is not elsewhere, and it can't be attacked." ”

"What promise do you keep with him? He already tore his face, and if he didn't open the city gate, couldn't we storm it? ”

Scolding, Yuan You laughed angrily, and Dan Feng glared at him with shallow eyes.

But Zhao Bottle refused, "When you say tonight, you will wait until then!" ”

Now the mountains and rivers of Dayan are not all under the control of the Jin army, Zhao Zun went south to fight the time difference, and the victory was better than the speed of the march. If Zhao Mianze arrived from the south, even if he could also break the city, the price paid would definitely be different...... Thinking of these things, Yuan Yu was so anxious that he couldn't wait.

"Tianlu!" Seeing that he stood thoughtfully for a long time, Yuan Yu stepped forward and urged, "What are we waiting for?" When Zhao Mianze took the initiative to abdicate, it was impossible. You should know that if you drag it out any longer, it will only be against us......"

Outside the Jinchuan Gate, Zhao Zun was wearing a heavy helmet and a black hat, riding on a tall war horse with a vigorous posture, and his indifferent complexion was against the light, making him even more cold. He quietly watched the sunset to the west, sinking from the tower of Jinchuan Gate, and also looked in the direction of the Rouyi Hall beyond it, the waves in his eyes were up and down, like a glacier that would not melt for thousands of years, and wanted to freeze everything in heaven and earth.

~

"Go and see Gu Guiren, are you ready?"

Followed by the ministers, Zhao Mianze strode out and whispered to Jiao Yu beside him.

Zhao Mianze smiled incomprehensibly, "All Aiqing, come with me to Jinchuanmen, and the nineteenth uncle who will meet me will know." ”

"What is Your Majesty's best strategy against the enemy?"

His sudden and sharp words surprised the ministers and made them happy.

"It's okay...... I still have you ......" Zhao Mianze's face was pale, and after muttering, he raised his hand to let them get up, and he didn't know what he thought, and smiled lightly, "Although Jin Rebellion is strong, all Aiqing don't have to be ambitious." In this capital, I have my own way to let him come and go. ”

"If the Jingshi City is broken, we will not survive in the world anymore." The ministers responded.

The old ministers looked at each other, whimpered and tried the corners of their eyes, and knelt on the ground with a brush. Lu Huaming said, "Your Majesty is not a male lord, but a benevolent lord, not a holy monarch, but a Ming monarch...... If it weren't for the rebellion of the Jin Dynasty, I would have been prosperous and prosperous for generations. The things that betray the lord are disdained by the ministers. Your Majesty's grace, the ministers and others should be remembered forever, if the city of Beijing is broken, we will not live in the world again! ”

"Ministers, what about you? At present, the enemy has plans for himself? ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers also followed to denounce Ding'anhou. However, this capital is not big, it is not small, especially in this situation, the whole city is in chaos, the people are like panicked rabbits, no one stops, and it is not so easy to find someone at this juncture. Zhao Mianze, who lost again and again, lost every game, smiled bitterly, as if he was distressed, raised his hand to cover his chest, looked at the courtiers in the palace, and sighed.

"Jinghua, she is willing to treat his brother like this? Hehe...... Underestimate Chen Daniu. ”

After laughing twice, he rubbed his forehead, which was swelling with green muscles, and his face was extremely ugly.

His sister is the only relative in the world.

For the past few years, he has always thought that he was calculating others, and now he has found that none of these people are not cunning. Since the army of Zhao Zhu Beiping was raised, he ordered people to carefully monitor the movements of Chen Daniu and Yan Ergui. These days, they have always kept to themselves, and it seems that they have played tricks on him in private? The girl will suddenly disappear, and even they will disappear, which is really a big joke. However, even if everyone in the world is cleaning him up, it is not as painful as Zhao Runa's "disappearance".

Zhao Mianze was stunned, his brows jumped fiercely, his face turned pale, and his steps stepped back.

"What? The world has evaporated? ”

In a hurry, Jiao Yu couldn't care about the presence of the ministers in the palace, he shook his head and said in a suppressed voice, "Not only did I not find the little princess, but I also received a report from Lu Hui...... The people of the Ding'an Hou Mansion and the Great Eldest Princess's Mansion suddenly evaporated from the world...... Subordinates, subordinates, etc. are sending people to look for them. ”

"Didn't find anyone?"

Probably because he has heard too much bad news these days, Zhao Mianze looked at him with anxiety on his face, but his expression was unusually calm.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

The ministers were discussing the solution, and Jiao Yu held down the waist knife and hurriedly entered the hall.

This morning, he has arrived in Beijing, but he has always besieged but not attacked, and only used force to force Zhao Mianze to open the city gate, obviously to let Zhao Mianze take the initiative to abdicate, and the purpose is not to stage cannibalism between uncle and nephew in front of Emperor Hongtai. But if he knew that Concubine Gong and Emperor Hongtai were dead, it would be a different matter.

Everyone knows, why did Zhao Bottle pass the word three times? Obviously, he was also suspicious of the fire in the palace.

The suppressed and tense atmosphere in the Fengtian Temple became more and more serious.

If Zhao Mianze is unwilling to do this, he will wash the capital in blood tonight and forcibly attack the city.

He asked Zhao Mianze to open the Jinchuan Gate and let him lead his troops into the palace to meet Emperor Hongtai and Concubine Gong.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Zhao Zhu came in for the third time.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, just stood quietly on top of the Danqi, looking down at the ministers under the steps.

The old emperor died violently in the Rouyi Palace, and Zhao Mianze originally wanted to hide it, but a fire ruthlessly broke his plan again. The entire Jingshi was alarmed by the menacing fire, and the common people gathered around the root of the imperial city to speculate and discuss, and the emperor's relatives and princes and ministers also hurriedly entered the palace to understand the situation. At that time, Emperor Hongtai's body had not had time to move out, the fire was big, and the body of Concubine Gong was still in the palace. Hearing such bad news, there were bursts of mourning in the Fengtian Palace, and Zhao Kai, the king of Su, who was in charge of the defense of Gyeonggi, and the sect of Ling, the king of Qin, who was sick in bed all the year round, rushed over, but Zhao Mianze did not see the figures of Chen Daniu, the marquis of Ding'an, and the two ghosts of the concubine Duwei Yan.

Before the sky was dark, the bright lights lit up in the Fengtian Temple.

Tens of thousands of lives were sacrificed in a war involving thousands of people, and how many secrets were lost in it will not be clear to future generations. Even historians can only infer and speculate through official histories, wild histories, miscellaneous records, and folk anecdotes. However, there was indeed a blood lunar eclipse in the sky that night that was rare in hundreds of years. Some people say that it was the fire of the imperial city that dyed the moon red, while others say that it was the blood of that day that stained the moonlight...... But no matter what people say, the capital on that day was really full of blood......

The death of Emperor Hongtai was, in the eyes of later storytellers, such a passage. It is rumored that Zhao Mianze hated Concubine Gong for ruining his big business, and immediately asked the guards to separate the bodies of Emperor Hongtai and Concubine Gong, and burned Concubine Gong and Rouyi Hall together. Later, somehow, there were also rumors that it was not the body of Concubine Gong that was burned in the Rouyi Hall that day, but Zhao Mianze who fled by burning himself and faking his death......

"On September 15 of the fourth year of Jianzhang, Zhao Zhu, the king of Jin, led his troops south, approaching Jinchuan Gate, the city of Jingshi was in danger, and the concubine was afraid that the king of Jin was subject to Emperor Jianzhang, and he committed suicide with Emperor Hongtai in the Rouyi Palace. On that day of the blood and moon eclipse, the soldiers of the Beijing division were in all directions, and the sky was as bloody as fire......"

~

Touching the hot face, she smiled secretly, feeling that it had been more than ten years, and it was the first time she had been so close to his heart.

Not only did he not ask for her life, but when he left, she silently followed behind him, and he did not reprimand.

She committed such a big thing, but the man she admired since she was a child only gave her a slap in the face and did not kill her.

His gaze above his head was too cold, but she felt that the sunny day in autumn was so beautiful.

Ah Ji knelt on the ground on his knees, silently bowing his head and not saying a word.

"Knowing that she sent the child away and didn't report it, you ruined my big thing, do you know?"

Turning his head in a sudden realization, Zhao Mianze looked at her coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped her.

"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with Jiao Yu, it's a subordinate who wants to ...... The princess is just a child......"

The "rice bucket" he scolded naturally included Ah Ji. But as soon as he scolded, Ah Ji said in a low voice.

"Rice bucket!" Zhao Mianze was extremely annoyed, panting, and scolded, "You are all rice buckets, how do you look at people?" ”

Jiao Yu knew that he was asking Yaya, so he drooped his head, he glanced at Ah Ji, and his voice was lowered, "Last night, Qingteng, the maid of the Rouyi Palace, offended the imperial concubine and was beaten out of the palace by the imperial concubine...... Come to think of it, think of it, Qingteng took the princess out of the palace......"

"Where's the little girl?"

He closed his eyes tightly, and it took a while for him to regain his composure.

Zhao Mianze didn't calculate that Concubine Gong would have such a scheming...... It seems that the woman who can give birth to Zhao Zhu is actually not stupid.

If Zhao Tuo knew that Concubine Gong and Emperor Hongtai had died, the result would be unimaginable.

A fire broke out in the direction of the Rouyi Temple, and there must be a discovery outside the city.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been prepared for a long time...... We were about to decorate the body of the Emperor Taishang when the Rouyi Hall suddenly caught fire...... The person who set the fire was Aunt Yu, who was next to the Empress Dowager...... She poured tung oil in the temple, and we tried to stop it, but it was too late...... The entire Rouyi Hall was burned, and the incident happened suddenly, and the brothers could only take care of running for their lives......"

"What's going on?" Zhao Mianze's eyes were bloodshot.

"Your Majesty......"

Ah Ji said "um", a faint girlish shyness appeared on her face, but she didn't wait for her to thank her again, but found that Zhao Mianze's eyes were cold, looking at her back, and his face turned white. Ah Ji turned around, only to see the Rouyi Hall behind her was blazing, and the smoke was billowing into the air, she looked at it ignorantly, and before she came back to her senses, Jiao Yu rushed over from the direction of the Rouyi Palace.

"Dead what die?" Zhao Mianze snorted heavily, "If I can't die, you can't die." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, your subordinates should follow ...... to the death"

Looking at his handsome face, a wave of joy welled up in her heart for no reason, a joy that she had never felt before.

Ah Ji was stunned before he reacted, did he really stop pursuing her deception and abruptness?

"Kill you?" Zhao Mianze's chest rose and fell, and a wave of anger swirled in his heart, but looking at the woman who had followed him for so many years, and looking at the sadness and helplessness that could not be erased from her red eyes, he finally had no way to give that order, so he only smiled coldly, "Killing you, wouldn't it cheapen you?" Get up! I forgive you for your innocence. ”

"Subordinates rushed against Long Yan, Your Majesty killed me."

With that, she slid to her knees and looked up at him quietly.

"Yes, you pathetic. As pathetic as I am. ”

Looking at the man who was smiling angrily, she laughed to herself.

Ah Ji doesn't want to take revenge, and he can let go, naturally not just because Zhao Mianze is not a bad person.

"Pathetic? Ha ha! Zhao Mianze laughed, "I am the Son of Heaven and rich all over the world, you dare to say that I am pitiful?" ”

"You are not a bad person, and you were only used by Xia Wenqiu for what happened back then. What's more, over the years, you have also suffered retribution, you have loved Miss Seven, but you have never been able to get ...... No one knows better than I can love someone and not get it. He rolled his eyes and looked at him again with sympathy, "Your Majesty, you are also pitiful." ”

Ah Ji didn't struggle, looked up at him, and smiled sadly.

"You've had a chance all these years, why don't you kill me?"

"And what about later?" Zhao Mianze's face was gloomy and he smiled lightly, "When you learned that the Wei Guogong case was actually caused by me, and your father died tragically because of me, why didn't you take revenge?" When it came to the Wei Guogong case, thinking of the various entanglements and omissions between him and Xia Chu, Zhao Mianze suddenly became angry, grabbed Ah Ji's neckline, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but his voice was fierce.

"Yes." Speaking of his father, Ah Ji sniffed, his eyes were a little red, "Before my father entered the East Palace, he was a protégé of Wei Guogong and had his experience for eight years...... When the Wei Guogong case was discovered, my father was also implicated and died tragically in prison. Originally, our family was also going to be raided...... It was you who pleaded in front of Hong Taiye, and our family survived, and I escaped because of this...... Later, I disguised myself as a man, entered the forbidden army, and passed several cruel selections before I came to your side......"

As if he reacted suddenly, Zhao Mianze's eyes narrowed slightly, "Hong Xianliang...... Is it your father? ”

Ah Ji pursed his lips and looked at his pale face with pity, "Your Majesty, you definitely don't recognize me." My father is Hong Xianliang, the guest of the prince of the East Palace during the Hongtai period, and once taught His Majesty to read, when I was a child, I was naughty, and I often came to the East Palace with my father to play, and watched you read......"

He asked, "Ah Kee, who are you?" ”

In fact, if it weren't for the emperor, if it weren't for the dumping of imperial power, he would indeed be a gentle and polite man.

Looking at Ah Ji's gentle watery eyes, his complexion slowly softened.

He is the emperor, the emperor is a lonely man, even though he has countless concubines, but his world has always been lonely.

Zhao Zhu hit the gate of the city, Emperor Hongtai also died, and Zhao Mianze's sky was about to collapse.

At such a time, it is also the most difficult to refuse the reassurance and overtures of others.

When people are sad, they are most weak and lonely.

"If you feel uncomfortable, scold me. Your Majesty, don't be afraid, no matter whether you are an emperor or not, no matter what you become, I will accompany you, forever and ever, I will accompany you. ”

Ah Ji smiled slightly, not only was he not angry, but hugged him even tighter.

Probably angry, he used "I", not "I".

His lips trembled, and he became angry, "It's just that Zhao Zun bullied me, even you dare to bully me?" I'm not afraid I want your head. ”

Zhao Mianze shook his hand angrily, but Ah Ji hugged him with great strength, and he didn't shake it off.

"I've lied to you, I've been lying, but what if you kill me? Killing me won't change the fact that I'm lying to you. Ah Ji looked at him, "I'm not afraid of death, everyone will die." They will die, I will die, and you will die. ”

Ah Ji looked at his red eyes, did not move, did not let go, his face was gentle, as if he was coaxing his own child.

"Ah Ji, you are so bold!"

He lifted his tearful face and looked at the familiar faces that were close at hand.

Ah Ji stood in the corner for a long time, walked over slowly, squatted down, and didn't know where the courage came from, she silently hugged him and took his body into her thin arms...... The contact of the body, which is unique to women, made Zhao Mianze slightly stunned.

In a sense, Zhao Mianze's life, the best person for him is actually Emperor Hong Tai. From when Zhao Mianze was still the eldest grandson of the emperor, when he was only a few years old, Emperor Hongtai took him with him and raised him personally. Because Prince Yide was too benevolent, Emperor Hongtai raised Zhao Mianze as the lord of later generations. Emperor Hongtai is even more important to Zhao Mianze than his parents. At this juncture, the sudden death of Emperor Hongtai and his sadness can be imagined.

As an emperor, he directs the country, is high-spirited, holds thousands of miles of territory, holds the life and death of countless people, everyone has to look at his face and act, he never seems to have the opportunity and possibility to cry. But he was really crying, crying so much that his shoulders couldn't help but rise, like a child who had lost his shelter.

Ah Ji has been with Zhao Mianze for nearly ten years, but it is the first time he has seen him cry.

The guards in the dormitory were in a hurry, anxious to collect the corpses. Ah Ji didn't move, he stared at Zhao Mianze's back, watched him disappear at the door of the hall with vague steps, frowned slightly, and silently followed. Zhao Mianze walked quickly, as if he was fleeing from something, and quickly walked out of the Rouyi Palace, and his long body disappeared into the corner of the wall. Ah Ji hesitated for a moment, then walked around, and at a glance, he saw the noble emperor in a dragon robe, squatting alone in the corner of the low wall, like a child, holding his head and weeping silently.

“…… Be. The guard bowed his head silently.

Zhao Mianze didn't look back, and said coldly, "Throw it into the dry well in the hospital." ”

"My Majesty, the ...... What about the Empress Dowager? ”

The guards glanced at Hong Taiye on the bed, trembling, and asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Knocking three heads on the ground, he slowly got up, and said word by word, "Come on, separate them for me, and remove the Emperor Taishang from that vicious woman......" After a pause, his handsome face was strangely distorted, gritted his teeth with a smile, turned his face away, and walked out of the hall, his tone was sad and empty, but full of hatred, "The death of the Emperor Taishang is not allowed to be publicized...... The body was collected first, and when the war was over, it was buried with the former Empress Dowager in the same coffin. ”

But in Zhao Mianze's eyes, in addition to sadness, there was a deep chill.

It's a rare sunny day, and the sun is shining outside.

The others watched this terrible scene, and they also held their breath, and even breathed carefully.

Zhao Mianze's mouth moved, stunned on the spot, did not move for a long time, and did not speak.

But in the end, it was still a step too late. In a room, three corpses, and blood all over the ground, reflected everyone's eyes.

Zhao Mianze led Ah Ji and other forbidden army guards to rush in at this time.

The blade slashed across his neck, blood splattered out. Soon, "Bang! With a loud bang, Cui Yingda's body fell to the ground heavily, shaking the dormitory violently.

"Master, the old slave is here to accompany you, and the old slave is here to serve you......"

But Choi Yingda chose it and became the last person to die on this sharp blade.

It was a sword that accompanied Emperor Hongtai in the early years of the southern and northern wars, which had been stained with the blood of countless opponents and made great contributions to his country.

After saying it with tears in his eyes, Cui Yingda looked up to the sky and screamed in pain, threw himself on the dragon couch, and drew the long sword in his sheath.

"Master, the old slave knows your thoughts...... The old slaves know ......"

"Master, the old slave is guilty, the old slave is late!" Screaming, Cui Yingda knelt heavily on his knees, crying silently, the cry of sorrow that came out of his throat was as sharp as a poor child who had lost his loved ones, choked, choked for a while, he finally raised his head, looked at the two people on the couch sadly, sobbed silently, walked to the emperor's couch, raised Hong Taiye's hand gently, slowly put it on Concubine Gong's waist, and hugged it tightly.

Hearing his last scream, Cui Yingda rushed into the dormitory and saw this frightened scene.

"Master!"

"Your Majesty—"

This also became the last action of Emperor Hong Tai in the world, and no one knows whether he wanted to hug the woman he loved the most or push her away from the shackles that locked him at the last moment. His eyes were always open, and where he stared was his woman's beautiful face as before. His frightened expression was complicated and nameless, and no one could guess whether he was heartbroken, resentful, reluctant, or unwilling. It's just that after he lost his breath, a tear that had been circling in his eye socket for a long time finally slipped down and fell from his chin to Concubine Gong's forehead.

A generation of heroes passed away.

However, before he could put his hand down, he paused in the air, and then drooped weakly.

"Ah...... Yes...... Yes...... Ah......" Emperor Hong Taidi, who was tightly encircled by her, looked at her clasped eyes and eyelashes that no longer moved, suddenly his eyes were cracked, his body trembled violently, and he struggled as if he was out of control, and his voice, which had been unable to make a sound, also muttered and made a dumb sound, as if he had exhausted his last strength, his old eyes were full of tears, and he raised his hand high.

As if she was really asleep, she closed her mouth tightly, her face was serene, and she slowly stopped breathing.

"Don't say it, I'm a little tired, Guangji, I'll sleep first...... You don't want to ...... Noisy me ......"

Her voice grew lower and lower, lower and lower, and the next few words were inaudible.

"Aren't you happy? We can finally be together, and there's no one to share you with me. If there is a next life...... In the next life, you don't want to be an emperor...... You will be my husband, and I will be your wife...... We make an ordinary couple...... I will give birth to a pair of children for you, and my son will be like the old nineteen, a little naughty, but smart and decisive, like you everywhere...... The daughter is still like our Azusa Moon, silly, kind ......"

His struggle, Concubine Gong didn't seem to feel, she was like a shy girl, her voice murmured, as if she had returned to the day when she first met him.

Strictly speaking, the two of them are not ordinary husbands and wives, but they have had a deeper relationship than most couples in the past few decades. But when the son came to the city, the two looked at each other, hugged each other and slept together, but he was going to die in her hands, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness. Hong Taiye's chest rose and fell violently, and his lips trembled, as if he wanted to scream, and as if he wanted to struggle to sit up, it was extremely painful.

"You didn't see it just now, I also drank that bowl of soup and medicine. You see, I'll always be there for you. ”

Her hands wrapped around his waist, slowly leaning her face against his chest, and silently closing her eyes.

"Bright ......"

"Alright, Guangji, I'm all set." Turning sideways, Concubine Gong looked at him quietly, with a tender smile on her face, "How long have we not shared a bed like this?" With a soft sigh, her beautiful eyes blinked, full of affection, "It's good that you're finally just me." Only you are with me, without your virtuous queen, and without your countless concubines. ”

She got out of bed and took a comb, sat beside him again, focused on combing his messy hair, curled it into a bun, and then inserted a golden hairpin, nodded with satisfaction, smiled slightly, and turned out the dragon robe that he hadn't worn for a long time, gently changed it for him, and then panted and laid him flat on the pillow, and lay down on it himself, leaning on his side, sighing comfortably.

She smiled softly and looked at him, "Don't be angry. Look at what makes you angry, it's not good-looking. Guangji, it's still early, I'll comb your hair and change your clothes, how about it? Look at how thin you have become these days, Cui Yingda is really, she doesn't dress up for you. ”

It didn't seem to be a relief. But Concubine Gong didn't seem to mind.

Hong Taidi's mouth trembled, his facial expression was extremely distorted, and he looked uncomfortable.

"Why do you think of me like that? Do you still suspect that Lao Nineteen is not your son? You're just too suspicious. The codex that Lao Nineteen gave you before leaving for Peking was indeed written by Zhang's own hand. She stared at him motionless for a long time before she smiled, "Okay, you don't have to hate. Lao Nineteen is your son, your country has not fallen, and it is still in the hands of your son, what is there to worry about? According to the ability of the old nineteen, not only will he not defeat your country, but will become a generation of masters and strengthen the foundation you have laid...... Guangji, aren't you glad that I raised such a good son for you? ”

Looking down at the resentment in the eyes of the man in her arms, she reached out and stroked his face.

As if her mouth was dry, she was silent for a moment.

"Don't worry too much, what's wrong with your son being the emperor? He will respect you, respect you, and offer you to the Taimiao, so that future generations will praise your immortal achievements. As if she was tired of hugging, she let go of her hand and lifted the hem of her skirt, sat down beside him, leaned on the head of the bed, and half-hugged his thin body, "You are really, power, status, and world evaluation, what's the use?" I never cared. ”

She brushed her hair, and a few strands of gray hair on her sideburns swayed in the breeze.

"But I'm a mother, and in my heart, my son is the most important. Even you are not as important as your son......"

Staring at Emperor Hong Tai, her smile softened a little, "Do you think I'm ruthless?" I just learned it from you. In your heart, women and sons are not as important as your country, even at this point, what you think about is your throne, what you think about is the country that is about to be stained red with blood, and how the old nineteen will take the throne of your grandson, but you won't have the slightest thought that the old nineteen will be in danger of attacking the city, right? ”

"Actually, you've already guessed it, haven't you? So I just fed you, and you gritted your teeth and refused to drink. Heh, but what's the use? In the courts of all dynasties, the most important thing is poison, and the most important thing is to harm people...... The poison in your body has reached the end of the body, even if you don't eat this bite, you won't be able to hold it for a few days. ”

Gently looking sideways at the medicine bowl on the bedside table, she smiled a little strangely.

"You don't know how long I hesitated to do something like that...... It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm reluctant...... I can't bear to make you look like this. But the old nineteen is about to enter Beijing, as long as you can still speak, you will not allow him to ascend the throne, and you will stand with Zhao Mianze and persecute my son...... As long as you live, you will always be a stumbling block to him. And I'm ...... It's the same. ”

“…… Tell me why you, such a wise and wise man, could not have thought of it? I came to serve you to drink medicine that day, should you refuse? ”

She muttered in a low voice, trying to say everything she needed to say in this last moment.

Concubine Gong can't either, most of the time, she can't guess his thoughts.

No one knows what he's thinking at this moment.

Emperor Hongtai's neck was stiff, and the bulging green tendons on it were like deep ravines. His eyes widened, and he tried to look at the woman lying on his chest, in addition to the emptiness in his eyes, there was also a kind of sadness that seemed to have been separated by thousands of years.

"Guangji, I thought that handing you my hand would be a lifetime...... But I never thought that it would be me who hurt you with my own hands. ”

She bent down, hugged his head, pressed her face to it, and began to weep.

Only now, with all the vicissitudes of life, everything is turned upside down......

That month, when he rode into the city, rode high on his horse, and smiled and stretched out his hand to her, she had looked at his hand so closely. At that time, this hand also had a calloon, but it was full of power, and at that time, he was the emperor who ruled the world. She liked his focused and deep eyes, liked his handsome appearance, her heart was like a deer, it was almost love at first sight, so she handed him her hand, wanting to follow him for the rest of her life.

The hand was large, with its fingers spread out, as if it was about to grasp something, as if it was going to say something to her, and there was a "cooing" sound like phlegm coming out of its throat, but it couldn't say a single clear word. Concubine Gong looked down at his hands, the thick flesh was gone, and the slender fingers were only skinned with bones...... Her gaze was suddenly blurred.

looked at Concubine Gong without blinking, his cloudy old eyes were full of mourning, his body trembled and curled up, and he stretched out his thin hand coldly.

Emperor Hongtai's eyes widened.
