Chapter 641: Entering the Cold Palace and Meeting Zi Yao (Part II)
"This...."
Wang Mang thought for a while, and felt that Shangguan Ningxuan's words did have some truth, the majesty of the Son of Heaven could not be blasphemed, and the woman of the Son of Heaven could not be judged by common sense, nor could it be touched by outsiders. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the overall situation of the dynasty and be detrimental to the stability of the dynasty.
"Xianggong, don't think about these things. You can't see them suffering, but that's what the world is like now, and it can't be easily changed casually. The most you can do is to release them all when you ascend the throne and become emperor in the future. As for the longer ones, you can't control them. ”
Wang Mang was speechless, no longer paying attention to the cries and pleadings of these women, and quickened his pace and ran in the direction of Wei Ziyao's detention.
Seeing such a situation, he was a little worried that Wei Ziyao couldn't bear it. I am afraid that Wei Ziyao will be affected by these negative emotions and become mentally disturbed.
According to Li Hanfeng's previous instructions, he walked for about half an hour, and finally came to the deepest part of the cold palace, that is, where Wei Ziyao was detained.
Coming here, Wang Mang looked at the situation around him coldly.
After he looked around, he found that there was no palace maid to serve here, and there was no treatment that the queen should have, Wei Ziyao was completely in the same situation as other ordinary criminals, and suddenly there was a poisonous fire in his heart.
Before Wei Ziyao was imprisoned, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty said that he wanted to retain Wei Ziyao's treatment as a queen, and no palace maid should be missing.
The current situation is completely different from the one agreed at the beginning, and Wang Mang can think of something strange with his feet.
"Damn bastard." Wang Mang scolded secretly and came to the door of Wei Ziyao's cell.
In the cell, Wei Ziyao sat in front of the wall, as if she had thought about it, and there was a picture scroll hanging on the wall.
She stared at the scroll so hard that she didn't even know that two people were coming at the door of her cell, as if all her spirit was attracted to the scroll.
This picture scroll was painted by Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the words on the painting were inscribed by Wang Mang.
Since Liu Xin asked people to send the scroll, Wei Ziyao has been like a treasure and has been watching it all the time.
Wang Mang looked at Wei Ziyao's lonely back, and his heart was worried.
"Zi Yao...."Wang Mang called softly, then took out the key and opened the door of the cell.
Wei Ziyao heard the movement, suddenly turned her head, and looked at Wang Mang and the others coldly.
As soon as Wang Mang saw Wei Ziyao's front, his heart felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he was even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, Wei Ziyao completely lost the glory she had before, nor did she have the pride she had at the beginning, and her face showed a numb look.
If it weren't for the flash of wisdom in her eyes, Wang Mang would have thought that she had lost her mind.
After being imprisoned in the deepest part of the cold palace for more than two years, she seems to have lost everything, and she has completely lost the temperament and color of being the first beauty in the world.
"Who are you?" Wei Ziyao asked coldly, and moved her body back a few steps, full of vigilance.
"Ziyao, it's me." Wang Mang's voice almost trembled.
"Huh? Who are you? Who sent it? ”
"Hey, I didn't expect that Wei Ziyao, who was as radiant and proud as a peacock, would become like this, this cold palace is really not a place for people to stay." Shangguan Ningxuan sighed, "Xianggong, you can have a good chat with her." I'll go out and watch for you. At this moment, she desperately needs a person to rely on, and it seems that you can help her. ”
"Who the hell are you? Is it Liu Xin's person? Feng Yi's people? My Wei family's people? Wei Ziyao didn't hear Wang Mang's voice, she still had a strong defensive mentality.
"Zi Yao, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, have you forgotten my voice?" Wang Mang tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true face.
Wei Ziyao was suspicious, and when she saw Wang Mang's true face later, she took a few steps back, as if she couldn't believe it.
After a long time, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and turned around and said, "Lord Wang, why are you here?" Get out of here, don't look at me. ”
She panicked, and her tone was very hurried.
This is because she thought of her current situation, and she didn't want Wang Mang to see her down-and-out appearance, let alone her ugly side to be seen by Wang Mang.
Wang Mang said: "Ziyao, why are you doing this? ”
Wei Ziyao replied: "Lord Wang, today's Wei Ziyao is no longer yesterday's Wei Ziyao. After two years here, like twenty years in the outside world, I no longer have the face to be proud of the world. Go away, don't bother again. After you have won the world, if you have the heart, you can release me. ”
Wang Mang stepped forward and hugged her, and said softly, "Ziyao, I will leave later." I'm here to give you a gift. Also, didn't Liu Xin say that he wanted to keep your queen treatment, why don't I even see a palace maid now? ”
After Wei Ziyao was hugged by Wang Mang, she trembled all over her body and her eyes were full of tears.
Then she slowly turned her head and looked at Wang Mang seriously.
"Lord Wang, your white hair has grown, and it turns out that you are getting old, and you are no longer the unruly and lawless person in my heart. As for my queen treatment, I was originally served by palace maids, but not long after, those palace maids felt that I would not have a bright future, so they left me one by one. Maybe it's something going on outside that makes these palace maids uneasy. ”
"I see, I thought someone was deliberately making things difficult for you." Wang Mang said.
"I'm all locked up here, who's going to make things difficult for me?" Wei Ziyao calmed down a little, regained her composure, and she said slowly, "Lord Wang, you should be doing well now, right?" Who was that guy just now? She called you Xianggong? Is it Wang Jingyan? Why don't I look like it? ”
"She is Shangguan Ningxuan. I'm fine outside, the situation has been chaotic and turbulent in the past two years. Wang Mang talked carefully about the outside and introduced the situation outside to her.
After Wei Ziyao listened for a long time, she let out a long sigh, and then said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Lord Wang, I didn't expect you to have the heart to come to see me, so it can be seen that I was wise to make friends with you back then."
But now I'm not worth it for you, and now you've seen it, it's time to leave, and don't come back again. I've ever given you the best of me, and I don't want to leave a bad side in your heart. I hope that I will always be the first in the world in your heart, and you will always be the perfect saint in my heart. ”
"Nonsense." Wang Mang shook his head and said: "You are no different from you back then, the number one beauty in the world is still you." Although this cold palace is bleak, it still can't hide your charm. ”
"Really? You really have a way of coaxing women, thinking that Wang Jingyan is coaxed like this by you every day, she must be very happy. Wei Ziyao responded, and then said: "It's a pity that I couldn't get these back then, and now I don't have a chance." ”
Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Wei Ziyao, and then hugged her in his arms and kissed her deeply.
