Chapter 102: If the heart is concerned, I want to die as empty words
There is less snow in winter, if it were in the past, Emperor Mu Zhen would definitely be very happy, because in this way, the palace in Beiping City would not be so cold.
But today, even though it wasn't snowing, his face was still full of anger.
"Rebel!" He scolded fiercely.
The sound was so heavy that it shook the dilapidated roof of the Lama Temple, and a lot of dust fell from it.
The Lama Temple is a cold palace, and the emperor has not been here for more than ten years.
The last time I was here, it was when Hanagami was just born, and it was also the day Hanagami died.
At that time, there were only five people in the palace.
Now there are only two left, and Uncle Gen has resumed his identity as a father-in-law and bent down to accompany the emperor.
In this world, he only bent over the emperor alone.
"But it's like me." When the dust fell to the ground, the emperor regained his composure.
"It's better to fight to the death than to do nothing for a lifetime." That's how he earned it.
Otherwise, he would also be another Prince Shun, lingering in the Moon Pavilion all day long.
"This morning, he said that he wanted Liu Ying to be martyred, hehe." The emperor's tone suddenly sneered, "Those little tricks of his, I thought I didn't know." ”
"Since you are also my son, I will give you a chance." After saying this, the emperor's face showed a look of disappointment.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be so nonsense." The timing of this time was really poor, because the four princes were all in Beiping, how could the emperor tolerate an accident with a prince, if this kind of thing really happened, his face as an emperor would be embarrassed.
"Little roots." The emperor is called Gonggong Gen, and only he can call him that.
When the emperor was still a prince, Xiaogen followed him, and when he became the crown prince and lived in the palace, Xiaogen was clean.
The emperor has more affection for him than anyone in the palace, except for Flowey.
When his father was critically ill and held a temporary battle for the throne, he asked one of his guards to pretend to be him, and he himself led the charge himself.
Under his example, the soldiers marched forward bravely, and finally won the crown prince, and successfully ascended the throne three months later.
However, that vicious battle left him seriously injured, and if it weren't for Huahua's extraordinary medical skills and day and night care, he would have died long ago.
However, Flowey just treats him as a patient, and Flowey is already married.
However, who can be spared the woman who is favored by the emperor?
Therefore, she was approached to the palace, but she could only live in the cold palace, a life without a name and a share.
Because the emperor couldn't give her a title, because she used to be the daughter-in-law of the eldest prince.
Although the emperor liked her, he preferred his feathers.
He wants to become the emperor of the ages, and he wants to go down in history.
Therefore, he can't give her any name, and he can't even let anyone know about her existence, except for Gen's father-in-law.
Gonggong Gen stood respectfully behind the emperor, waiting for his instructions.
He was used to this kind of thing.
"Won't she get married?" The Emperor's face was furious again.
The people of the Xue family, except for the useless Xue Dingkai, are all hard bones.
He no longer intends to waste time on Xue Liuguang, he is ready to make all the Xue family members become royals.
In this way, if Xue Liuguang wants to pass on that secret, it will inevitably become a royal secret.
The Streamer Sword is the foundation of the Southern Dynasty for more than 3,000 years, and even if he can't get it, his children and grandchildren must get it.
Otherwise, going south is an empty word.
"Yes." Gen Gonggong replied with one word.
He knew that the emperor didn't like nonsense, so he developed the habit of being concise and clear.
"Bring her over, and let the prison send Xue Liuguang over." After the Emperor finished speaking, he sat down on a dusty broken wooden bench.
More than ten years ago, he sat here, holding Huahua's two children under the flower, and listened to Huahua's last words.
"The daughter is called the flower fairy, and the boy is called the flower god, I want them to be as carefree as the gods for the rest of their lives."
"To this point?" Gen Gonggong asked.
In the palace, he was the only one who dared to question the emperor's orders.
The emperor was not annoyed, he nodded, "That's it, so that Huahua can take a look at this daughter-in-law." ”
Grandpa Gen nodded and withdrew.
After Huahua died, she was buried under the Lama Temple, and the emperor then sealed the palace.
Because Huahua likes to be clean and doesn't want to be disturbed, she didn't want to clean the maid before her death, and the emperor didn't arrange it after her death.
Since Xue Mulan came to Beiping, she has resumed women's clothing.
Since she did not hide her name, and the emperor has been tracking down her whereabouts, it is really effortless to get here.
But the emperor did not put her in prison, but put her under house arrest in the palace, and every once in a while, someone came to ask her if she would marry.
She was annoyed by the question, so she simply ignored anyone, and sat in front of the window every day, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard.
Sometimes a little bird would stop in front of her window, and she would look at the little bird and say to herself, "Bird, bird, I'm locked in the palace, can you help me bring a message to my eldest brother?" ”
As she spoke, tears blurred her eyes.
She used to be a stubborn woman, and she never shed tears even if she bleed, but since she separated from Bianliang in Hanzhong, tears have always been with her.
Today, the people who came were not the grandmothers in the palace, but Uncle Gen, but he was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, so that she almost didn't recognize him.
"Your Majesty." This is what Uncle Gen said.
Xue Mulan followed her silently, her heart was a little desolate.
Is it the emperor who is tired of his refusal and wants to send himself out of this world?
But she hasn't lived enough, she still thinks about her eldest brother, otherwise, after entering the palace, she would have committed suicide.
Alone, locked in a room, for a whole month, she was going crazy.
"Your Majesty is not in a good mood today." Before entering the Lama Palace, Uncle Gen specially instructed.
"Got it." Xue Mulan said.
In terms of mood, she is even worse.
If the emperor didn't intend to let her live, she wouldn't bend to flattery.
It's just a pity, if only the birds could understand her.
So far, she doesn't expect to see Bianliang again, she only hopes that the bird can tell him her heart.
"Sit." The emperor pointed to a chair with a spider web on the back and said to Xue Mulan.
Xue Mulan's brows furrowed, she was a girl who liked cleanliness very much, otherwise, she wouldn't have tossed Bianliang's hair often.
But today, she just frowned and sat down.
The emperor was very satisfied with this, and he said, "In matters of marriage, parents are in charge, and your father will be here soon." ”
Xue Mulan's lifeless face suddenly had a glow.
In addition to Bianliang in this world, it is her father who worries her the most.
I didn't expect to see my loved ones alive, and it was a great feeling.
"Thank you." She said sincerely.
"Your father is locked up in the prison, whether he can come out or not depends on you." The emperor said again.
When he heard the word guan, Xue Mulan's heart tightened for no reason.
She understands what it's like, wasn't she imprisoned in the palace for a month? But my father was locked up in a prison for so many years.
Thinking of this, sadness began to appear on her face.
"Marrying a prince is the wish of many women in the world." Seeing that she was silent, the emperor was already unhappy in his heart, and his tone began to become stern, "I will never allow others to refuse what I decide. ”
"I never change what I decide." Xue Mulan gritted his teeth and said.
She knew that she would cause more pain to her father by saying this, but she could not go against her will.
The emperor stared at her resolute eyes for a long time, but found that this girl's stubbornness was beyond his imagination.
No one has ever dared to look at him for so long, because behind these eyes is the supreme imperial power, and no one will not be afraid of the imperial power, and no one will not be afraid of his eyes.
However, the girl in front of her, her eyes were empty, as if the imperial power was in front of her, just like the dust of the Lama Temple, worthless.
The emperor didn't speak, he had seen this kind of look once before, that was Huahua's eyes before he died, his eyes were empty.
Otherwise, how could the child's name be called God and Immortal? Even the gods are not afraid, how can they be afraid of the imperial power.
It's not this girl, but she also has the heart to die.
If the human heart is dead, what can she fear?
The emperor didn't speak anymore until Xue Liuguang was picked up by Uncle Gen and placed straight on the dusty floor.
The emperor looked at the hard bone and said, "When father and daughter meet, if they have something to say." ”
If you want to defeat a person with a dead heart, you must first make her have concerns in her heart.
If people have care, they don't want to die.
Xue Liuguang looked at this daughter he hadn't seen for more than four years, and his heart was also sour.
Over the years, he has endured a lot of hardships, but his heart has never been as hard as iron, and he has never been sad.
It's just that she means something completely different to him.
If it weren't for her, he might not have survived until now, and if it weren't for her, even if he could survive, he would have lived forever in the dark, without seeing the sun all day long.
"It's for your father's sake." Xue Liuguang finally couldn't hold back and said what was in his heart.
And this kind of words are the words that hit the relatives the hardest.
When Xue Mulan squatted beside him, her eyes were already full of tears, she took his immobile hand and pressed it tightly against her face, and the tears fell on her father's hand like a pearl with a broken thread.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Xue Mulan cried, just repeating these three words.
These three ordinary words seemed to have magic in her mouth, Gonggong Gen turned his head, and Xue Liuguang couldn't help but want to hold his daughter in his arms.
But his hands couldn't do it, he could only try to raise his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to cry, he didn't want to cry.
He was afraid that if he cried, his daughter would be even more sad.
He finally held back his tears and said in a loving voice, "Good boy, you are a good boy. ”
"Woooooooooooo Xue Mulan cried even more, and she lay her head on her father's chest, so that her father didn't have to raise his head hard.
The surroundings were quiet, and even the dust was reluctant to fall, for fear of disturbing the father and daughter.
However, the emperor ruthlessly interrupted this touching picture.
"If you are a good child, how can you not save your father!" When he became emperor, he was the most ruthless man in the world, and his words were as ruthless as his people.
Xue Mulan raised his head and shouted hysterically, "No, it's not like this... ”
She lowered her head again, "Dad... I can't... Can't do it. She began to shake her head incoherently, shaking her hair away, but she kept shaking.
At that moment, she was completely defeated, for her own incompetence, for her father's pain, and even more for her love for her eldest brother.
Xue Liuguang said, "Good boy, dad is fine, it's okay." ”
He didn't know how to comfort her, he just wanted to tell his daughter that he was really okay and that there was no need to worry about him.
Then the Emperor said, "There is something you do not know. ”
As he spoke, he deliberately paused for a moment until the eyes of the Xue family's father and daughter fell on him, and he continued, "Tomorrow, Liu Ying will be buried." ”
"No... Xue Mulan shouted helplessly again.
The sky was falling, and she was lying on the ground weakly, and she couldn't bear any more pressure.
The emperor also said, "I have sent someone to inform Xue Dingkai that tomorrow, he will go to the mausoleum. ”
Another heavy blow completely shattered Xue Mulan's heart, she put her head on the floor, and said weakly, "Marry, I'll marry, I'll marry, woo... ”
Her desperate voice made Xue Liuguang unable to control his tears anymore.
However, the emperor was very comfortable listening to it, as he controlled the power of life and death, what he liked to hear most was the obedience of the weak.
As for what they felt in their hearts, he never thought about it.
"Tomorrow, you will also go to the mausoleum." The emperor said, "Whether you can save people or not depends on your ability." ”
Prince Shun's life and death, he never cared about it, how could he care if someone gave him a funeral.
All he wanted was a reputation for loving his brother.
After the father and daughter of the Xue family left, the emperor said to Gonggong Gen, "You go and say hello to the third child, Miss Xue, you can't have anything." ”
