Chapter 60-1: Smashing the Mirror (I)

Every day after that was the happiest I lived since Yun Zheng passed away. I met him night after night, lingering in his warm embrace, and poured out my lovesickness in the past two years. No matter when and where, as long as he thinks of Yun Zheng, he can't help but want to run back to the room and take out the bronze mirror to meet him. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay in my room, holding the bronze mirror, and I am more and more obsessed with the happiness and joy it brings me. The only remaining sanity is that I still know that I need to control the amount of blood taken to avoid being noticed by Xiaohong, and I can skillfully collect blood every night, and quickly apply white medicine to myself and bandage my wounds before the mirror is fully activated; In addition, I asked the kitchen to stew a lot of blood tonic decoction for me, and my meals were all replaced with blood-replenishing medicinal food.

Inevitably, however, my body was still weakened, and the excessive blood loss made me look haggard and pale, and Xiaohong was very worried, and asked me more than once what was wrong and what was wrong. I had to prevaricate. I already have seventeen wounds on my left arm and eleven wounds on my right arm, which records that Yun Zheng and I have been together for twenty-eight days, and for fear of being discovered, I don't dare to let Xiaohong and them in when I bathe. Every morning when I woke up and saw my pale and bloodless face in the mirror, I reminded myself in my heart that I must not take out the mirror again today, but at night, after forcibly driving Xiaohong out of the room, I couldn't help but pick up the eyebrow knife and cut it on my arm. I originally thought that I was a person with great self-control, but I couldn't stand it without Yun Zheng's company, I desperately needed him to fill the corner of the void in my heart since he left, I fell into his gentle encirclement, even if that gentleness was poison, I was willing to eat it.

Yes, it is as good as it gets.

"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? "An Yuanxi saw that I was distracted again, and couldn't help but call me." Yes? I came back to my senses in a daze, bumped into An Yuanxi's scrutinizing gaze, and blushed slightly: "Where did you go?" ”

"You've been in a bad mood lately, why don't you go back to your room to rest first, and we'll talk about it another day." An Yuanxi had a forbearance in his eyes, and I shook my head: "You go on to say that King Jing's reputation is already very bad now?" So our plan was successful? ”

The rumors about King Jing's immorality became more and more intense, and I let the four or five versions passed out by An Yuanxi evolve into dozens of versions, each of which can be told in a voice for a few days. And the idea I had written down on paper began to be implemented gradually: a few days ago, when the river workers were building the dam of the moat, they dug up a life-size stone man, and the stone figure was engraved with a proverb: "King Jing is out, disaster arises, and the world is in chaos." One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the Beijing division spread for a while, and it is believed that it will soon spread to the nearby state capitals and counties, and then spread throughout the country. King Jing was furious and ordered the arrest of the riverworkers who dug up the stone man, and went around arresting the people who were discussing the matter. Unexpectedly, before the matter subsided, it was rumored that a woman bought a fish in the market, opened her stomach, and there was a roll of yellow silk inside, which was also embroidered with the words "King Jing is out, disaster arises, and the world is in chaos", which is like adding fuel to the fire, and the rumors spread quickly like a plague. King Jing was so angry that he ordered to severely punish those who dared to spread rumors, and sent people to refute rumors everywhere. It's a pity that the results of refuting the rumors have little effect, just yesterday, in a wheat field on the outskirts of Beijing, a piece of wheat suddenly died for no reason, a woodcutter stood on the hillside on a high place, and saw the withered wheat actually composed a nine-character proverb: King Jing is out, disaster arises, and the world is in chaos! The successive "oracles" continued to appear, and what kind of waves they produced in the hearts of the people of Tiancao Kingdom was impossible for anyone to measure.

In fact, there is only one word in the note I wrote to An Yuanxi: prophecy. The ancient people liked to make prophecies, especially the oracles, they believed that there was a kind of prophecy that the gods passed on to people through various hidden ways, this kind of prophecy is called "prophecy". The weight of "prophecy" in the hearts of the ancients is extraordinary, and the ant group of words can force Xiang Yu Wujiang to kill himself; The fish belly hidden silk can make the sergeant follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to revolt with determination; Wang Mang usurped the throne, and even without spending a single soldier, he snatched the Han family from the world with only two copies of the "Jin Ce Book". Now that oracles have appeared in the capital one after another, the edict shows that King Jing is immoral, and even the heavens have said so, can King Jing still ascend to the throne? The rabbit will bite people if he is in a hurry, King Jing is in this environment, I am afraid that he will soon be unable to hold his breath, as long as he makes a mistake, he is afraid that the emperor will not be able to get his handle. suddenly thought of the emperor's intentions, King Jing has pretended to be virtuous and benevolent for so many years, showing a look of benevolence and righteousness everywhere, and has never let people get anything wrong, the emperor has done so many things, is he forcing him to make mistakes? As long as he makes a mistake, he can be dealt with justifiably. Thinking about it, it has been almost 7749 days since the emperor went to the Taimiao to pray for blessings, and I feel inexplicably irritable and restless in my heart, feeling that an invisible net is closing step by step, getting tighter and tighter.

"Yes." An Yuanxi nodded, I glanced at him, An Yuanxi is no longer the same as ever, and his flexible and quick ability to handle these things often impresses me. I nodded: "That's enough, don't add more fire, you have to be careful, don't let King Jing find out about us." ”

"I know." An Yuanxi looked at me quietly, "There is one more thing I want you to know, the Feng family army is holding the banner of 'eliminating the king and the side of the Qing monarch', and it has approached from southern Xinjiang all the way to Beijing." ”

I raised my head suddenly: "The Nine Kings are still in King Jing's hands, and the Feng family is not afraid of King Jing's ......"

"The Nine Kings are no longer in the palace." An Yuanxi looked at me calmly, "I received the latest news that Jiuwang's madness was faked, and he escaped from the capital shortly after pretending to be crazy. The crazy nine kings in the palace are just pretended by others. ”

I only felt that my hands and feet were cold, and the Nine Kings were really pretending to be crazy, and they had already absconded from the capital. Being able to do this when King Jing's power was at its peak, the hidden power of the Nine Kings in the capital was obviously not small. Feng Jiajun came clearly with an anti-flag, saying that it was "Qingjun's side", and when the "Jun's side" was cleared, would it be "Qingjun" in one step? My head was a little dizzy, I covered my forehead, and An Yuanxi stepped forward nervously: "Sister-in-law? What's wrong? ”

"My mind is messed up." I stroked my forehead, "A little dizzy." An Yuanxi hurriedly said: "I'll ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you." ”

"No need." I shook my head, "It's not that serious. "My body is a little soft, but I know what the reason is, the symptoms of dizziness have been frequent in the past two days, it seems that I am going to control the number of times I activate the bronze mirror, and if they find the wound on my arm, it must be endless interrogation.

"I'll ask Ning'er to help you go back to your room to rest." An Yuanxi just stood up, but saw Stygian Flame running in with a book in a hurry: "Sister, what you told me last time was too illusory mirror, I found the picture." ”

"Really?" I glanced at An Yuanxi, my face was a little unnatural, "Yuanxi, you go out first." ”

An Yuan looked at me steadily, didn't say anything, turned his head and walked out of the study. Stygian Flame ran to my side, sat down next to me, turned the page, pointed to the picture on the book, and said, "Sister, look, this is the Illusory Mirror." ”
