Chapter 141: Infernal Hell
The Joyful Palace.
The courtyard is still filled with the atmosphere of depression, towering trees shade the sky, and the warm sun of late autumn and early winter is blocked out.
However, there were small purple flowers growing in the corner of the wall, and the seeds that flew from nowhere took root here, and they were continuous, like a cloud brocade embroidered with purple flowers.
The woman in the long white dress took care of the wild flowers leisurely, and although she had a lot of gray hair on her temples, she had a graceful and elegant bearing, and her skin was properly maintained, and she still looked like she was in her forties.
"Concubine Rong." Wei Qingqing quietly walked behind her, looked at the embroidered shoes exposed under her skirt, and reminded her: "The shoes are wet and wet." ”
"It's me who is confused."
Concubine Rong smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her lips were all beautiful, but she didn't stop the movements in her hands, it seemed that Wei Qingqing, who Helian Zifeng had been thinking about day and night, suddenly came to the door to ask to see, it was just a very ordinary thing.
The old lady who had saved Wei Qingqing once in Zhufu came over, motioned for Wei Qingqing to sit down by the flower hedge tied up on the side, brought tea again, and asked her with a smile: "Miss Wei still remembers the old slave?" ”
"Remember, Mama is kind to me." Wei Qingqing calmly looked at her searching eyes and smiled: "That's why I just came here and wanted to ask Concubine Rong a word." ”
Mama's eyes shrank uncontrollably, could it be that Wei Qingqing knew the secret?
Impossible, even the little master of Zifeng doesn't know about this matter, except for her and Concubine Rong in this world, all the people who know this secret are dead.
After thinking about it. Mama regained her composure and turned to look at Concubine Rong: "Niangniang." ”
"Miss Wei has something to ask, just right, after you ask, I also have something to ask you." Concubine Rong held a scoop in her hand, and poured water on the freshly renovated soil in the corner of the wall, and the seeds were planted in it.
Wei Qingqing keenly caught the different colors in Mama's eyes, and couldn't help but think more, only looked at Concubine Rong, who seemed to have been cut off from the mortal dust, and said: "Does Niangniang hate Helian Zifeng very much?" ”
The words fell. The wind seemed to be still.
Mama's heart rose to her throat, and then she looked at Concubine Rong, who was only stunned for a moment and then returned to her indifference, and sighed secretly in her heart.
"Why does Miss Wei say that, I am Zifeng's mother after all." Concubine Rong replied.
She didn't admit it, nor did she deny it, but threw a question back, and Wei Qingqing had the answer in her heart.
Wei Qingqing rubbed the tea cup in his hand, which was a pattern of peony on a white background, which was a fashionable style in Western Chu before, and I heard that the royal family of Western Chu liked it the most.
"When I met Helian Zifeng, he had just gone berserk and bit an entire village to death, although the people of that village were innocent, but his symptoms were not normal people."
"I used him again, and he became a friend to me." Wei Qingqing's tone was unhurried, but looking at Concubine Rong's gaze was as cold as a knife: "For this reason, I very much want to cure his illness, I can see how painful he is tormented by this disease every day, and later my caravan visited famous doctors." Finally found an old miracle doctor hidden in the mountains and unwilling to be born, and before he died, the old miracle doctor finally told me that the poison in his body was not all acquired. ”
The face of the grandmother on one side was already very ugly, and the eyes that looked at Wei Qingqing were already secretly warning.
Concubine Rong was still slowly scooping water and watering the flowers, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"The poison is brought from the womb, it is a chronic poison, this poison will not kill you, and even in the first few years, there will be no symptoms." Wei Qingqing is already a mother, no matter how she can, she can't understand that there will be such a mother in the world, who regards the child in her womb as a mortal enemy: "The most important point is that this poisonous and bitter taste is very strong, and it is impossible for those who eat it not to taste it." ”
"Miss Wei is here to seek justice for Zifeng?" Concubine Rong's smile became bigger and bigger: "Doesn't Miss Wei belong to her heart, could it be that she has changed her mind and loves my son?" ”
Wei Qingqing didn't expect that things would be broken, Concubine Rong could still be so calm, and on the opposite side was the gray face of the grandmother on one side.
"Miss Wei, it's not too early, the slave will send you out of the house." Mama spoke, her eyes were obscure and unclear killing intent, she couldn't let Wei Qingqing get out of this threshold alive.
Concubine Rong didn't make a sound, as if she had acquiesced.
But to their surprise, Wei Qingqing shook her head: "I didn't come today to send me to death. Concubine Rong, how about we make a deal, you will hand over to me the list of traitors of the Three Frontier Kingdoms who colluded with Helian Zifeng, and I promise to bury your secret in your heart forever. ”
"Miss Wei, is the tea delicious?"
Concubine Rong still never turned around, and she didn't take the young Wei Qingqing in her eyes from beginning to end.
"The tea is a little bitter." Wei Qingqing lowered her eyes and looked at the yellowed tea in the cup, and complained a little: "The white tea of Xichu is always so bitter, but this tea is still very expensive, and the whole country will produce more than a dozen catties a year." However, the former Prince Dan of Western Chu was particularly fond of this tea, but it was a pity that he died early under the iron hooves of the first emperor. ”
Wei Qingqing said softly, looking at Concubine Rong's really frozen hand, her eyes were deep, but she didn't expect that she was just guessing, and she actually guessed correctly.
"Prince Dan is gone, Concubine Rong will have less confidants who appreciate this white tea like you, she must be very lonely." Wei Qingqing asked her, and in the next second, Concubine Rong finally turned around.
Concubine Rong looked at the woman in front of her, wearing a begonia color dress with a pinched waist, a slender waist, like a goddess, sitting there dignified like that, but the corners of her eyes seemed to contain spring, pure and charming, and her eyes were faint but seemed to hide ten thousand cold knives.
No wonder Purple Wind likes it that way.
"There are still many people in the world who like white tea." Concubine Rong cleaned her hands sideways with the water watering the flowers, walked to Wei Qingqing and sat down, Mama brought a new cup of white tea, Concubine Rong took a shallow sip, and then looked at Wei Qingqing gently: "Miss Wei is so smart and icy, it seems that I can't keep you today, I can give you the list, but how can I guarantee that you won't leak my secret?" ”
Wei Qingqing looked at her calmly and calmly. and the mama with a gloomy face on the side, remembering that when she was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she followed Mrs. Zhang everywhere to participate in the grand gatherings of the old ladies in various mansions, and those old ladies mentioned a matter obscurely and inexplicably every time.
That is what happened to the young and beautiful Concubine Rong after she was admitted to the harem as a concubine by her eldest sister, who was more than 20 years older.
I heard that it was precisely because of that incident that the first emperor slaughtered eight brothers overnight, and became the prince in a bloody manner, and soon Concubine Rong gave birth to the little prince Qin Zifeng.
"Niangniang and the first emperor are aunts and nephews." Wei Qingqing tossed the teacup, and the porcelain touched, making a crisp sound.
Concubine Rong still smiled dignified and elegant: "Yes." ”
She replied lightly.
Wei Qingqing looked at the grandmother behind Concubine Rong, and the hand that the grandmother clenched in front of her loosened.
"When I was young, I had the opportunity to meet Prince Dan." Wei Qingqing pondered and spoke: "That is a man like a god and an immortal, with the purest heart in the world, Xichu once rumored that Prince Dan had a vision when he was born, and he was the reincarnation of a god and Buddha, so Prince Dan is so pure." ”
Mama's hands tightened again, so tight that the joints were white.
Mama's wide-sleeved robe covered her hands, she didn't know her subtle movements, and she happened to be seen by Wei Qingqing, who was sitting down with her eyes down.
Wei Qingqing chuckled in her heart, thinking back to Helian Zifeng's face, no matter how complicated her heart was, she didn't dare to expose it.
"It's a pity that Concubine Rong lost this confidant." Wei Qingqing put down the teacup, looked at Concubine Rong with a smile, and took out something wrapped in bright yellow silk cloth from her sleeve: "As long as Niangniang gives me the list today, I will personally present the head of the new emperor Qin Mo, so that you also have the handle to put me to death." ”
Concubine Rong glanced at the bright yellow silk cloth and did not answer immediately. I only slowly drank the tea in the cup, and when Wei Qingqing's heart was beating like a drum, I instructed the grandmother on the side: "Go get a pen and paper." ”
After getting something, Wei Qingqing didn't stay anymore.
Lan Zhi, who was guarding not far away, saw Wei Qingqing coming over, and immediately greeted her: "Miss, got it?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Qingqing forcibly made her steps look unhurried and very confident, but her eyes were full of anxiety. She thought that she knew what Concubine Rong's secret was, it was even more shocking than she thought, if it was announced, she was afraid that the entire Qin royal family would become the laughing stock of the world, recorded in history, and left a stench for thousands of years.
However, Concubine Rong didn't seem to be satisfied, she also asked Helian Zifeng to slash the entire Qin clan, and then hold the jade seal of the Qin family, sit on the throne of the Qin family, and occupy the Qin family's country!
She won't allow herself to walk out of the gate of the Easy Palace!
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Zhi noticed the anxiety on Wei Qingqing's body, Wei Qingqing has always been calm, and rarely shows such emotions, could it be that something went wrong with the plan?
Wei Qingqing didn't have time to explain now, so she just walked forward quickly.
But before stepping out of the second door, Concubine Rong, who was still behind, was already standing in front of her at this time.
The gorgeous clothes are dragging the ground, and the years have made her more mature, like a blooming peony flower.
"Miss Wei, I regret it, I can't let you out of this door, why don't you stay and accompany me again?" Concubine Rong is still so elegant and gentle: "After all, Zifeng loves you so much, and you are not completely ruthless to Zifeng." ”17
"The mother laughed, if I can't get out of here. Qin Mo would immediately enter the palace, sit on the dragon chair, and order the ministers and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who had already entered the city. Wei Qingqing also smiled slightly.
Concubine Rong seemed to hesitate, with a little thinking on her face, but she still shook her head.
"Miss Wei, you are very smart, but you are too smart, you know what my real purpose is." Concubine Rong smiled bitterly, looking at Wei Qingqing, there was no resentment in her eyes, and there was no displeasure, some were just full of pity: "If you can, it is a blessing to have a smart daughter-in-law like you to Cheng Huan." ”
After speaking, Wei Qingqing's master and servant were already surrounded by the man in black.
These black-clothed people were densely packed, almost filling the entire courtyard, very imposing, and full of life.
These people are not Helian Zifeng's people, they are dead soldiers, Concubine Rong's.
Lan Zhi almost covered her mouth, afraid that she would scold too badly.
The methods of training the dead are horrific. It's all the walking dead that are tempered by living people, and no one has come to refine this kind of thing for a long time, but I didn't expect that the kind and gentle, virtuous and dignified Concubine Rong in front of me could be so ruthless!
"Miss Wei is still going to tell your guards who are lying in ambush outside to rush in? Rushing in was just a waste of my life, and I didn't want to see too many people die. Concubine Rong's words were full of compassion and pity.
Wei Qingqing knew that she was the real femme fatale!
"I wish hundreds of lives in the mansion, it wasn't killed by Zifeng, right?" Wei Qingqing asked Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong guessed it at once when she saw her, and felt even more pity in her heart, such a smart daughter-in-law was going to die.
When Wei Qingqing saw her admitting, she gritted her teeth: "Those officials who were tortured and killed in the capital, those people who resisted, and ...... Queen Mother ......"
"What a smart kid." Concubine Rong smiled: "Zifeng still has some women's kindness, he is already a demon covered in blood, he wants to put on a Buddha's appearance, learn from you." ”
Wei Qingqing's heart is very infarcted, she must go to Helian Zifeng now, Rong Che has already set a trap, it will drive him crazy, if he doesn't rush over in time, he will die, he will die worthless, unclear.
"He has been a pawn of you since he was born, you have calculated the emperor of the Qin family, the prince, everyone in the world, Concubine Rong, are you happy?" Wei Qingqing asked Concubine Rong.
She had hated it too. I can't wait to eat Rong Ruizhang's flesh and blood, I can't wait to have never been born in the General's Mansion, but after hating, it is full of desolation and boundless emptiness, that feeling, like falling from the edge of a cliff, and the bottom is an abyss, you don't know when you can fall into a puddle of flesh, forever worried, and powerless. can only keep falling into the darkness by himself.
Concubine Rong looked at Wei Qingqing, and the mask finally cracked: "You won't understand, and I don't plan to talk to you anymore." Miss Wei, you are a very smart woman, and Prince Dan was the same back then. ”
After that, Concubine Rong turned around and left, graceful and elegant, as if the golden autumn light in the sky was just her foil.
Wei Qingqing's eyes drooped slightly: "If Prince Dan knows under the spring, he must regret it." All love is given to you. ”
Concubine Rong stopped.
Wei Qingqing approached step by step: "It was the first emperor who killed Prince Dan when he was fighting against Western Chu, and Concubine Rong wanted to seduce the first emperor, right?" ”
"You even took advantage of the queen mother, entered the palace and became a concubine, and became the concubine of the first emperor."
"Aunt and nephew, mother-in-law, if the people of the world know that the emperor of the Qin family is such an inferior person, the prestige and authority accumulated by the Qin family for hundreds of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop, even if it is not Helian Zifeng sitting on the throne, the people of the world will break the backbone of the Qin family."
"Concubine Rong, on the night the first emperor died, I think in addition to Helian Zifeng, you also entered the palace. You can domesticate such a large number of dead soldiers without telling the world, it must not be difficult for you to enter and exit the palace. ”
"When the first emperor died, he must have hated you very much. But the more he hates, the happier you become. ”
Wei Qingqing sentence by sentence, Concubine Rong had already thought of the first half of her life.
She Shaohua is not married, Yun Ying Fanghua, and met the fairy-like Prince Dan, so she is a talented and beautiful woman, dry wood and fire, and she has a skin-to-skin relationship with Prince Dan.
But he didn't want Prince Dan to promise a lifetime, and he died under the iron hooves of that despicable man.
She didn't know that she was pregnant by that time, and she was occupied by hatred, after all, how could she endure a man like Prince Dan who died so miserably?
She knew that although her eldest sister was the queen in the harem, she was struggling, so she entered the palace.
When she noticed the first emperor's unspeakable emotions towards her, she scoffed at first, and even wanted to expose it fiercely and make him lose face, but she thought, this is not enough, not enough for this man to make the sinful Qin royal family pay for his crimes, what she wants is the entire Qin family, the Qin family for hundreds of years. Come and make amends!
As for Helian Purple Wind......
She loved him, so she risked death to give birth to him.
But he also hated him, if it weren't for him, Prince Dan would not have been in a hurry to return to the palace to marry him at that time, and he would not have been forced to go to the battlefield by the old emperor of Western Chu.
"You're talking too much." Concubine Rong's tone became colder,
Wei Qingqing only wanted to reveal the truth in front of her, her hands and feet were cold, at first she thought it was just a battle for succession, but then the capital was in chaos, and she felt that it was civil strife caused by hatred, and it was only now that she understood that what Concubine Rong wanted was chaos in the world, and life was ruined!
The one who is really paranoid to the point of madness is her!
"You're crazy." Wei Qingqing stood in place, looking at the few strands of white hair floating out of Concubine Rong's sideburns, her lips trembling.
Concubine Rong hooked the corners of her lips: "This is just the beginning, in the infernal hell, it is a fierce fire, a cone grinding and sawing, a day and a night." Ten thousand deaths and ten thousand lives, suffering is connected, and there is no interruption. ”
The dead soldiers gradually surrounded them, and there was a sound of fighting outside, it was the guards brought by Wei Qingqing.
Rong Che gave her the most elite person, led by Leng Yin personally, even Helian Zifeng could also fight, but no one thought that the monstrous waves behind this would be a catastrophe.
Concubine Rong walked forward step by step, her feet seemed to hurt a little, she didn't care, until Mama came over, her face turned white.
"!"
"I already knew that this kid was smart." Concubine Rong smiled, blood slowly flowed out of the seven orifices, and Wei Qingqing poisoned her when she approached her.
Mama hurriedly wanted to find a doctor, Concubine Rong only shook her head: "I can't stop it for long here, go to the palace, find out the edict of the first emperor, and declare Zifeng the emperor, I want to hear the Qin family's golden iron horse before I die, and set foot on this sinful land!" ”
Mama burst into tears, looked at Concubine Rong, who had not regretted it at all, and asked her in a choked voice: "Niangniang, the little master of Zifeng has never laughed in his life, he is like Prince Dan......"
"Are you going or not?" Concubine Rong asked Mama, her tone was as gentle as ever, but there was no warmth.
She has long been in the devil, she has no feelings, she is devastated, purgatory on earth.
Mama shook her head after all, she wanted to say something more, but suddenly a sound of breaking the sky came behind her, unstoppable!
Mama subconsciously protected Concubine Rong, and when she heard a pop, she saw the sword that went straight to her heart, and the red and purple eyes of the sword wielder.
"Little master...... Mama can't stand you. ”
Mama's eyelashes twitched, and she was silent.
Concubine Rong looked at Helian Zifeng, who had gone and returned without falling into a daze, and unconsciously appeared in her mind the figure of Qinghua Rulian.
But Helian Zifeng's gaze did not stay on her, only crossed the crowd and looked at the woman who had been protected by Rong Che in his arms, and he was one step late.
He was always one step late.
"Mother." Helian Zifeng's voice was hoarse.
Concubine Rong laughed: "My son, the edict of succession has been written, you will fulfill your mother's wish once, okay?" ”
Helian Zifeng looked at her deeply, raised his hand, dropped his sword, and died.
Resentment will, love parting, begging, his infernal hell, is over.
