Chapter 112: Heavenly Fire
After returning to Huo's Mansion, I crossed my arms and looked at Huo Quai's illness with a smile. He raised his hands and smiled, "Good! I've got you covered! ”
It turned out that Huo Quai's arrangement was to use today's sacrifice to the heavens and place a lightning rod on Bailiang Terrace. The purpose of this is because if the sacrifice to the heavens is really proposed, and Bailiangtai is burned, she will definitely be regarded as an ominous person by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and will be snubbed.
Second, Huo Qubing had long seen that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to demolish the Bailiangtai that surpassed his imperial power, but he could not fulfill his wish because he did not have the right time, so he wanted to help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that he didn't expect Ruozhen to be cocooned and dare to use Taoist priests to deal with Wei Zifu, Huo Quzhi saw her ambition, so he immediately changed his plan. Ordered someone to quietly put the lightning rod on the Taoist's body, and also gave him a bag and changed his talisman paper.
In this way, Tianlei was successfully led down by the lightning rod, slashed the Taoist to death, and pointed the spearhead of the demon star at Ruozhen, making her speechless. Could it be that she said that this farce was originally designed by her to frame Wei Zifu? Then the heavenly fire burned down Bailiang Terrace again, and there was no proof of death.
After listening to his bold and shocking plan, I was so shocked that I exclaimed again and again, shook my head and said, "You are really nonsense. If one of the links goes wrong, wouldn't it be a loss? ”
Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "I don't make uncertain accounts, since I want to do it, I will definitely succeed!" ”
The temple on the Bailiang platform was extinguished with a sudden fire, but the remnants of the building stood alone. This fire burned down the magnificent buildings on the Bailiang Terrace, but made a grand and magnificent masterpiece - Jianzhang Palace turn out to be overwhelming.
The fire of Bailiangtai gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a chance to show his greatness, and made a dream hidden in his heart for a long time come out in advance. Bailiangtai's "sacrifice" is worth it!
A few days later, Huo Qu was sick and entered the palace, and I followed him into the palace to see Wei Zifu. Huo Quzhi sent me to the door of the Jiaofang Palace and said to me: "You go and talk to the queen, I will go to see Your Majesty, and I will pick you up in a while." ”
I nodded, and after entering the Jiaofang Palace, I found that Wei Shao'er was also there. I saluted respectfully, "I've seen the Queen, I've seen the Madame." ”
Wei Zifu probably said something to Wei Shao'er, and now Wei Shao'er's eyes are not as hostile as before when he sees me.
When Wei Zifu saw me coming, he handed me a sandalwood box. Wei Zifu said: "You open it and take a look." ”
I opened the sandalwood box in my hand and saw that there was a red rope knotted Ruyi buckle inside, but now it seemed to have been cut in half by scissors, and it was lying quietly in the box.
I frowned slightly, "This is?" ”
Wei Zifu sighed lightly and said, "This is if you really send someone to give it to Your Majesty." ”
I wondered, "Hasn't she been sent to the cold palace?" ”
Wei Zifu said lightly: "She is in the cold palace, but she still doesn't forget His Majesty, and sent someone to send this Ruyi buckle to His Majesty, and the palace people said that she originally knotted it with His Majesty, but now it is cut in half." The palace people didn't dare to send it without permission, so they sent it to me first. She sighed lightly: "Your Majesty is a person of great affection. ”
I said: "As long as Your Majesty still has love, if you really have a chance to turn over." ”
Wei Shao'er on the side said: "What if it's really a son? ”
Wei Zifu frowned and said, "Raised in the palace." ”
Wei Shao'er said softly: "Queen, you also know that Your Majesty is a person of great affection, if you see this wishful button, you will inevitably not think of the past pampering and true scenes." In order to prevent her from relapsing, there are some things that must be done. She gently spit out four words: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
If the child is really less than two years old, with Wei Zifu's many years of operation in the palace, it is easy to kill such a child who has fallen out of favor with his mother. But even a person like me, whose hands were covered in blood, hesitated when it came to the choice in front of me.
Wei Zifu looked at me, and I bowed my head and said nothing.
Wei Shao'er said: "Queen, you should make a decision on this matter as soon as possible, Mu Lan, what do you say?" ”
I sighed in my heart, I was making a choice between the Virgin and protecting the interests of the Wei family, and I could only choose the latter, and I said, "Madame is very right! ”
Wei Zifu's beautiful eyes closed, and when he opened them again, he had disappeared from the hesitation just now, and said, "I know the way!" ”
When I went back, Huo Qu came to pick me up, and when he saw Wei Shao'er, he saluted and said, "Mother is also there?" ”
Wei Shao'er sighed at Wei Zifu and said, "Queen, look, this kid really can't leave Mulan for a moment. But what did he say that the Huns would not be destroyed and that they would not be at home. ”
Huo Quzhi smiled and said, "Mother, don't you disagree?" ”
Wei Shao'er shook her head and said, "Is it useful if I don't agree?" You've been dragging out your marriage so much, so it's better to do it as soon as possible! ”
Huo Quzhi said happily: "Mother agreed? ”
Wei Shao'er nodded reluctantly, and Wei Zifu smiled: "Okay, there is another happy event in the palace now." ”
Huo Qu's illness and I finally got Wei Shao'er's approval, but I can't be happy now. Killing a two-year-old child is wrong. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't resist it.
No wonder it is said that Mo was born in the emperor's family, how much is not free and incapable. In fact, these are all false, born in the emperor's family, the first thing is to be able to save his own life. But he may not live to grow up.
Things moved fast, faster than I expected. Not long after, it was rumored in the palace that Ruozhen's son accidentally flew out of the palace and hit a stone when he was playing in the autumn, and he was gone.
If he was really considered an ominous person by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was a demon star who was beaten into the cold palace. And the prince died unexpectedly, and there was not much accountability, but the palace people on duty were executed, and the matter was over.
I thought there had to be a break between me and Ruozhen, so I took the initiative to ask Wei Zifu to go to the cold palace to visit Ruozhen.
Wei Zifu's beautiful eyes swirled over me, "Mulan, what is your purpose in doing this?" ”
I bowed my head and said, "I will give the queen a satisfaction." ”
Wei Zifu groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
I went to the cold palace under the leadership of the palace people, and the former Chen Empress Chen Ajiao was relegated to the Changmen Palace, and Sima Xiangru wrote "Changmen Fu". Now this cold palace is no longer the original Nagato Palace, but it still exudes the smell of despair.
Although it is not as ruined as imagined, the simple and miserable palace walls reveal a deep chill. The waste concubine, who is no longer favored by the emperor, can only be locked up here forever.
When she saw Ruozhen, she was still wearing the crimson robe, her jet-black hair was neatly combed, and long tassels hung on it.
When she saw me, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes and she asked, "Why did you come?" ”
I said lightly: "Would it be good if the beauty was here?" ”
Ruozhen smiled lightly, "Mulan, you don't have to be pretending to be merciful here, we both know the grievances between us." It's just that you don't get complacent too early, although I lost a game, Your Majesty will definitely take me out! ”
I shook my head and said: "Beauty can't help but value herself too much, which is more important than the country and the woman, Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, will he not understand?" ”
Ruozhen's face changed color slightly, and said: "I still have a son, when my son will be crowned king in the future and go to his own territory, he will definitely take me with him!" ”
I sighed softly, took off the cloak and cloak on my head, and said, "I came to tell you about the prince. ”
Ruozhen's body began to tremble when she heard this, and she rushed to me, grabbed my arm and shook it wildly, "What's wrong with him?" ”
The palace people on the side all knew that I was the person next to the queen, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull away the crazy Ruozhen, and said in their mouths: "Don't bump into the nobles!" ”
Ruozhen was pulled away by everyone's hands and feet, his body struggled violently, and he yelled hoarsely at me: "What's wrong with him! What the hell is going on, you say! ”
I guess in Ruozhen's heart, she should have thought of such an ending a long time ago, but she has always been hoping that her son can grow up safely. It's like she was holding on to a fluke mentality and trying to bring down Wei Zifu without her own strength.
I straightened out Ruozhen's clothes, looked at her and said word by word: "The prince is gone!" ”
Ruozhen's pretty face instantly became bloodless, and she stretched out her red fingers smeared with Kodan, pointing at me and trying to say something, but there was a strange sound in her throat, and a pair of beautiful eyes widened and stared at me, like a soul from hell asking for her life.
Halfway through, she didn't say a word, and suddenly leaned back heavily. The palace people stepped forward to check and hurriedly pinched people to rescue. He turned to me and said, "Girl, she's fainted." ”
I said lightly: "It's good to take care of it." He put his cloak back on and turned out of the cold palace.
walked out of the cold palace, and the cold air that lingered around him suddenly disappeared. Under the golden light of the sun, I turned to look back at the cold palace. Separated by a wall, it is like two worlds. It's cold on one side and hot on the other. On one side there is despair, and on the other side there is hope.
If she really won't have a chance to turn over again, she will never be able to turn over again if she loses the love of Emperor Wu of Han and loses her son.
On the same day, news came that Ruo really hit the wall and died. When he died, blood burst from his head and splattered the pale walls.
After I heard this, my heart was unhappy, and Huo Qu saw that I was depressed, so he said to take me out of the city for a walk. I asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Is it okay to take you to hunt in the mountains?" ”
I nodded, it's okay, it's better to go out for a walk than to be unhappy all day long about these disputes in the palace. So he followed Huo Quai, and the two rode out of Chang'an.
Huo Quzhi said that the mountain is a mountain not far from Chang'an City, but he was not in a hurry to hunt along the way, and only took me towards the mountain. The forest was verdant and green, listening to the birds' chirping, looking at Huo Quai's heroic face, and soon the depressed mood was swept away.
After about half a day's walk, we stopped in front of a small cabin. The simple and clean chalet is built in the middle of the forest and exudes a fresh smell.
