187. [187] The Queen Mother Returns to the West
Lan Cao sat in front of the Queen Mother's bed, her palms glowing blue, wandering around the Queen Mother, but her brows were tighter and tighter. The plague was far more terrible than she had imagined.
Countless black points of light poured out from the Queen Mother's body, as if they were attracted by this blue light, but at the same time as this black point of light, there were also white points of light.
It was the soul body of a man.
This black toxin has already wrapped around the soul of a person, and if it is forcibly stripped away, I am afraid that this person will be finished.
The blue light in Lan Cao's hand gradually faded, leaving a black pearl-like sphere in his hand, about the size of a small fingernail.
Frowning, Lan Cao pushed open the door and walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.
When everyone saw the blue grass come out, they were all slightly relieved, and then they found that the blue grass's face was solemn, and the heart that had just been put down was lifted again.
"How?" Ziyi stepped forward, looked at the blue grass and asked.
"Nope." Blue Grass shook her head slightly, spread her palm, and the black beads were suspended in the air. "Silver pupils, look at what the hell this is."
Lan Cao handed the palm of his hand to the silver pupil, and the silver pupil held the folding fan and gently pressed it against the bead, and after a long time, he raised his head in surprise and said, "Where did you get it?" ”
"The Queen Mother's body."
"What is this?" Ziyi realized that things didn't seem to be as simple as they thought, and asked with a frown.
"This is the spirit of unjust death." With a wave of the silver pupil folding fan, the black bead burst open, and suddenly the whole air was gloomy, and several black smoke gushed out from the cracked bead, the smoke roared, wailed, and the sound pierced the eardrums, and it was extremely miserable.
Duanmu Xun held Ziyi in his arms, and gently covered Ziyi's ears with his big palm, so that the sound could not be poured into Ziyi's ears.
The gloomy sky and black air lasted for a long time before gradually dissipating.
"How so? What about the Queen Mother? "It's been a long time since I've seen a resentful spirit in this palace, how could there suddenly be so many resentful spirits? Where do these spirits come from? Where did you get this power that can kill people?!
Thinking of Lan Cao's sentence "no", Ziyi suddenly remembered the Queen Mother who was still in the dormitory.
"Ziyi, don't go in!" Seeing that Ziyi was about to rush into the inner hall, Lan Cao stretched out his arms to block in front of Ziyi, and said anxiously: "This resentful spirit is pervasive, if you enter at this moment, it is very likely to hide in your body, this resentful spirit can be entangled with people's own souls, if your body is invaded by this resentful spirit, then even I can't save you." ”
Duanmu Kaoru was originally pulling the purple clothes, but when he heard Lan Cao's words, he stumbled and almost fell.
His face turned pale in an instant, and his purple eyes were as deep as an abyss, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
"Kaoru-" Ziyi turned around to support Duanmu Kaoru, and the kind face of the Queen Mother came to mind.
Although she has not had much contact with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has always treated her well.
"The Queen Mother—what did she have to say?" Duanmu Kaoru closed his eyes slightly, and his voice trembled a little.
"I can go in and take a look, my constitution is special, and these souls can't hurt me. Only, you have to get out of here now! Lan Cao frowned and looked around, the palace maids and eunuchs were hiding in the corner with frightened eyes, but their eyes were always on these individuals.
They didn't know if they would be burned alive by the merciless fire, just like the masters and subordinates of the palaces before them.
"Let's go." Duanmu Xun opened his eyes, looked at the blue grass, and smiled bitterly: "Let the queen mother go less painfully." ”
Since he was a child, in the royal family, he has seen too many joys and sorrows, death for him, almost every day entangled in a topic, I thought that he had long been numb, but now, but he also found that in the face of death, he is so powerless.
Although the relationship with the Queen Mother is not as deep as that of other mothers and sons, it's just-
"Kaoru." Ziyi furrowed her brows and looked at Duanmu Kaoru worriedly. This man, even at this time, has to work hard to be strong. How bitter is his heart?
"Let's go." Duanmu Kaoru took the lead in taking a step, but the figure shook a little, and the purple clothes held Duanmu Kaoru and looked back at the blue grass. Lan Cao nodded at Ziyi, and the group walked out of the courtyard.
"Seal off the entire hall, and set fire to the blue grass as soon as it comes out." Duanmu Kaoru's voice was firm, but everyone present sensed his helplessness.
How much courage and perseverance a person must have to make such a decision.
The waiting time is always tormenting.
The group returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Duanmu Kaoru let the silver pupil and the night fire stay outside the hall, and walked into the inner hall with the purple clothes.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Duanmu Xun's feet suddenly went soft and he fell to the ground. Ziyi, who had been supporting Duanmu Kaoru, also sat on the ground with a fart [harmony] strand. As if they had collapsed, the two of them sat on the ground and looked at each other for a long time.
"Purple-"
I don't know how long it took, Duanmu Kaoru suddenly spoke, but his voice was much hoarse, and his whole person seemed to be old but a teenager at this moment.
"I'm here." Ziyi's little hand shook Duanmu Kaoru's big hand, and held it hard, stiffly. She didn't know what else she could do.
"Purple - am I cold-blooded?" Duanmu Kaoru lowered his head, this was the first time Ziyi had seen such a helpless Duanmu Kaoru. In front of her, he has always looked light and breezy, as if the sky is falling and he is not afraid.
Occasional domineering, occasional childishness, but never once, like this one. This appearance made Ziyi think of the word "Reservoir Dog".
Although it is a difficult three words to hear, Duanmu Kaoru is like a defeated rooster and a water dog at this time, and there is no longer that kingly demeanor around him.
"I know, Kaoru." Duanmu Kaoru's appearance, the purple clothes are in the eyes, and the pain is in the bottom of the heart. But she didn't know how to comfort him, and she didn't even know what else to say other than to be by his side.
At this point, any words pale and weak, and any consolation seems superfluous.
For Duanmu Kaoru, who is a son, he is very cold-blooded! Very unfilial! He's just a bastard! He was able to watch his mother die alone, and even dragged all the people who had served his mother faithfully to the funeral! He's simply a bloodthirsty devil!
So hateful!
But—he had no choice but that.
For an emperor, he has only this choice.
That's why he's so pitiful.
Duanmu Kaoru was paralyzed on the ground, pressing his face against the cold ground, he wanted to cry, but there were no tears in his eyes. Over the years, he has learned a lot of things, but he seems to have lost a lot as well.
For example, crying is so easy for others, but he forgets how to do it so that his eyes are full of tears.
was sent out of the palace since he was a child, and his days with the Queen Mother were not very many.
After the death of the emperor, the queen mother insisted on guarding the spirit of the emperor, and he did not get along with the queen mother for a day. The Queen Mother returned to the palace, but in the days when he had no official duties, he went out to visit the mountains and rivers all day long.
He's really the worst son in the world.
Ziyi gently lay down behind Duanmu Kaoru and hugged his waist from behind Duanmu Kaoru. Place your cheek against his back.
Once, she felt that this back was so strong, as long as she had this back, she would not have any pain and fear.
But now, she realized that this back was not as strong as she imagined.
He will also be vulnerable.
When she was vulnerable, she had his company and his comfort.
But now, the other way around, she really didn't know what to do, what to say, her mind was blank, she just wanted to be with him like this.
He lives, she lives, he dies, she dies.
"Kaoru! Cauterize! Outside the door, the voices of Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Ling were heard.
When the two of them heard about the Queen Mother, they hurried to the palace, but the Queen Mother's bedroom was ordered to die by Duanmu Kaoru, and no one was allowed to enter. The two of them had no choice but to come to this Heart Cultivation Palace.
Silver Pupil and Nightfire stopped the two of them and shook their heads gently.
"Why don't you let me go to the queen mother! I'm not afraid of any plague! I don't have anything to be nostalgic about anyway! How could I let the queen die alone! Duanmu Ling's voice was very harsh, and every word sounded like a knife in the purple clothes in the hall, stabbing Duanmu Xun's body one by one.
Duanmu Kaoru seemed to be deaf to the things outside the hall, he still just had his back to the purple clothes, just lying on his side on the ground.
"You let go of me! You let me in! I'm going to go in and ask him about it! That's no one else, that's not a casual concubine in the palace! Not a nameless palace man! That's the Queen Mother! That's our queen mother! Duanmu Ling's voice was already hoarse, what was so terrible about death!
Isn't it more terrible than losing one's loved ones forever, or should I say killing one's own loved ones with your own hands?!
The Queen Mother is obviously sick today, maybe she can be saved! At least three days to go! But Duanmu Kaoru actually gave an order to burn the palace against fire!
"He's not feeling good! You shut up! Duanmu Qi suddenly threw Duanmu Ling out.
Duanmu Xun's pain, how could he not know that at the beginning, when Duanmu Xun killed Concubine Nalan regardless of a qiē, he once thought that he would hate him so much and blame him for the rest of his life, but the more time passed, the more he found that maybe he really didn't love Concubine Nalan so much.
But he knew that Kaoru Duanmu loved him.
Brotherhood.
For him, he can even bear infamy, and even would rather hate him for the rest of his life, but also eradicate the women around him who may bring harm to him.
If they had a choice, how many would choose to end their mother's life with their own hands?!
"Hehe--although I am not born to the queen mother, but the queen mother treats me like a son, if you are afraid of death, then you will stay here! Don't stop me from going in to see the queen mother! Duanmu Ling's eyes were red, and he glared at Duanmu Qi fiercely.
She didn't understand how such a kind old man could give birth to two sons who were so bullshit!
"Ling'er." Ziyi walked out of the inner hall, with a thick exhaustion on her face, she pursed her lips, looked at Duanmuling sadly, and said, "The Queen Mother, she is an old man, and I don't want you to pay so much." ”
"What do you mean?" When Duanmu Ling saw Ziyi, his tone turned a little back, but his voice was still choked.
"There are a few more mothers who want to see their children in danger for themselves, and Kaoru does this, but it is just to fulfill the last wish of the Queen Mother." Ziyi stepped forward and helped Duanmu Ling up, I haven't seen this girl for a few days, this girl is obviously much thinner than at the beginning, and I don't know if she lives outside the palace very well.
At the beginning, she insisted on leaving the palace not long after living in this palace, returned to the place where she once lived, and lived alone despite everyone's opposition.
Now think about it, how can you live well in that kind of place where you can see the figure of the "horse" at any time. I'm afraid that this Duan Muling really has a heart for that man. Even if every time I see something familiar, it is a heart-rending pain, but I still choose this kind of self-torture, just to be able to stay in the place where the person in my heart once stayed, just to feel that familiar breath at any time.
This end of Mu Ling is also a lover.
Gently hugged Duanmu Ling into his arms, and said faintly in purple: "Your imperial brother is a thousand times more sad than you at this time." Do you know that such a cold order is just a touch of the upper lip and the lower lip, but it is a raw and bloody command that penetrates people's hearts. ”
Duanmu Ling nestled in Ziyi's arms and cried like a child.
How could she not know, but she didn't know who to blame now.
A kind of grief and indignation is suppressed in the chest, and it cannot be vented!
What to do? What should she do?
"Bluegrass." Silver Pupil pursed her lips, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw the blue grass walking towards the courtyard, and called softly.
"Ziyi, the Queen Mother has a last wish that I hope you and the emperor will complete." Lan Cao smiled weakly at the silver pupils, it took too much spiritual power for the Queen Mother to wake up, and she had to keep the old man finished speaking, at this time, she seemed to faint at any time.
"What is it?" Ziyi pursed her lips, gently patted Duanmu Ling's back with her little hand, and asked in a low voice.
"The Queen Mother, her old man, hopes that you can give birth to a child with the emperor soon, don't let Sisi be too lonely in this palace. She said that the emperor has always been for official business can ignore a qiē temperament, although he is a good emperor, but he never knows how to take good care of himself, you are a good child, you must take care of the emperor for her, so that her old man will be at ease under Jiuquan. ”
Hearing Lan Cao's words, two lines of tears finally rolled down in Ziyi's eyes.
Is it true that every mother always cares about her children the most before she dies?
"Lord Qi, princess, the Queen Mother also has something to bring to you."
