Chapter 68: The Rupture
Seeing that Yiguang had not spoken, the husband thought that she was frightened, so he hurriedly collected the anger and murderous intent on his face, held her hand and said, "Don't worry, this king will not let Mr. Fan die in vain, and will definitely give him an explanation." ”
"Hmm." Yiguang nodded with mixed feelings.
Husband, if one day, you find out that I have been lying to you, will you forgive me?
Coming out of the Taiji Palace, Yiguang walked aimlessly, when he came back to his senses, he was already standing outside the Guanwa Palace, the eaves of the Guanwa Palace under the spring light were curled, and the Baowa glazed glass was not yet completed, but it was already full of the wealth of the heavenly family, which made people intoxicated.
Yiguang was about to leave, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, Sister Zheng? What is she doing here? And in a hurry, it seems that something is important.
Zheng Dan walked through the palace to a nondescript house, which had been completed and even the flowers and trees had been planted, so there were no craftsmen staying here.
Zheng Dan glanced left and right, pushed the door in, this is a library pavilion, the wall made of bluestone is full of bookshelves, and a few copper flowers are placed on it as decorations.
Zheng Dan walked to the east of a bookshelf, skillfully wrenched the copper vase resting there, with a "click" sound, the bookshelf moved to the side along with the wall, revealing a swarthy hole, after Zheng Dan walked in, the mechanism was activated again, and it returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
In the secret passage, Zheng Dan walked down step by step by the faint light of the oil lamps on both sides, and at the end of the steps, Gongzishan was already waiting there, and when he saw Zheng Dan appear, he showed joy, and rushed up to hold her hand tightly, "I'm so hard to wait, I thought you weren't coming." ”
Zheng Dan's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Didn't I promise you last time?" How could they not come? ”
"If I don't see you for a moment, I can't let go of this heart for a moment." Gongzishan's love words made Zheng Dan's face even more flushed, and he said coquettishly: "When did you become so flamboyant." ”
"These are all from the bottom of my heart, and they are not half false. Come, I'll show you something. Gongzishan said as he pulled Zheng Dan to the table and sat down.
In her curious gaze, Gongzishan took out a plate of dim sum as clear as jade from the food box, Zheng Dan recognized it at a glance, and exclaimed, "Orange cake? Where did you get that? ”
Orange cake is made of glutinous rice, sugar orange peel, sugar rose made of dim sum, delicate shape, glutinous and delicious, is Zheng Dan's favorite hometown dim sum, since the outbreak of war, forced to leave the ramie village, has never been eaten.
Gongzishan didn't answer, but said, "Try it first." ”
Zheng Dan took the chopsticks he handed over, and put a piece of orange cake as transparent as red jade into Tankou, Gongzishan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”
Zheng Dan chewed carefully, and after swallowing, she bowed her head and said: "Glutinous but not sticky, sweet but not greasy, very good, there is my mother's level of six or seventy percent, which chef made it?" ”
Gongzishan said mysteriously: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”
"You?" Zheng Dan looked at Gongzi Mountain in disbelief.
"Surprise!" Gongzishan smiled proudly: "Last time, I heard you talk about wanting to eat orange cakes from your hometown, and after I went back, I visited famous chefs, and I really found a chef who knows how to make this dim sum." Originally, I wanted him to make a plate and send it directly, but Brother Wen said that what others make is just dim sum, and only those who make it themselves have the intention, I thought about it, so I took advantage of the free days to follow the cook to learn to make orange cakes. ”
Zheng Dan looked at him in a daze, and for a moment, he suddenly opened his arms around Gongzishan's neck, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why are you so good to me?" ”
Since coming to the palace of King Wu, he often thinks of orange cake; Once, she really missed it tightly, and deliberately went to find the palace chef, saying all kinds of good words, hoping to help make a plate of orange red cake and relieve homesickness, who knew that the imperial chef was a master with red top and white, seeing that Zheng Dan was not favored, not only refused to do it, but also blasted her out of the dining room, which made her embarrassed and embarrassed.
But now, she just said it casually, and Gongzishan kept it firmly in her heart, and deliberately learned to make it for her to eat, which made her not moved.
Gongzishan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and hugged her soft waist, "You are my most beloved woman, who else should you be good to?" ”
Hearing this, the already overwhelmed eyes could no longer hold back more and more tears, causing them to rush down, like a string of pearls with broken threads, wetting Gongzishan's cheeks, making the latter feel distressed, and repeatedly coaxing, finally let Zheng Dan stop his tears, but he was always sullen.
Gongzishan stroked her slightly frowning brow, and said pityingly: "Why do you frown? But what did I do wrong? ”
Zheng Dan shook his head and said sadly: "I know that you treat me sincerely, but I have always been the beauty of the king, even if he does not set foot in the Mingfeng Palace for the rest of his life, I am his beauty, I can't stay with you, you ......" She showed a look of struggle in her eyes, and after a while, she gritted her teeth fiercely and pushed away Gongzishan and said: "You go, we won't see each other again in the future." ”
"I'm not leaving!" Gongzishan grabbed her arm and said with a firm expression: "In this life and this life, I must stay with you for a long time, and I will never leave you." ”
Listening to his sincere words, Zheng Dan's heart ached, and she sobbed: "You know that this is impossible, just in case...... If the king knows about you and me, then it's over!"
Her words made Gongzishan's fingers loosen slightly, but then he clenched them tighter, "You and I are afraid, because he is the king, but what if not?" ”
Zheng Dan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood something, and said with a frightened face: "Do you really plan to listen to Wen Chong's words - usurpation?" The last two words were so terrible that it took her a lot of effort to say them.
Gongzi Shan raised his fist, looked in the direction of the Taiji Hall and said, "He is a prince, and I am also a prince, why not?" ”
Zheng Dan shook his head again and again, and said with horror on his face: "If you fail, you will die, by all means!" ”
"Can't be with you, for me, life is better than death!" Without waiting for Zheng Dan's words, Gongzishan said again: "I have already discussed with Brother Wenzhong, this time in a battle with the Qi State, Xiang's father was defeated and his military power was withdrawn; In this way, Brother Wang must find another person to lead the troops, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, in addition to the father, Brother Wang relies on Dazai the most, as long as he opens his mouth to let me lead the troops, Brother Wang will definitely agree. As long as I have military power, I don't need to fear anyone, including Brother Wang! As he said the last sentence, a strange look shot out of his eyes.
Zheng Dan was moved by what he said, and couldn't help but say, "Dazai...... Will it help? ”
"Brother Wen has a good relationship with him, and Dazai is a greedy person, as long as the money is enough, everything is not a problem!" Gongzishan said confidently, then clenched Zheng Danrou's soft wattle, and said affectionately: "You have been wronged for a while, and after I get the military power, I will immediately plant ten miles of peach forest and welcome you as my wife!" ”
Zheng Dan said in surprise: "Do you remember? "Yiguang loves the pear blossoms that are as white as snow in spring, and she loves the pink and delicate peach blossoms.
"Every word and every sentence you say, I will keep it firmly in my heart and never forget!" Looking at Gongzishan's firm and affectionate gaze, Zheng Dan finally fell completely, threw himself into his broad chest and nodded crying, "I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you!" ”
After seeing Gongzi Mountain disappear at the other end of the secret passage, Zheng Dan reluctantly retracted his gaze and turned around to leave, but unexpectedly saw a person who should not be here, and she staggered and almost fell.
Zheng Dan held on to the corner of the table to stabilize his figure, and said in shock: "Yiguang? How did you end up here? ”
Yiguang stared at her coldly: "What about sister, what are you doing here?" ”
"I ......" Zheng Dan twisted the silk handkerchief at his fingertips vigorously, his expression was panic and uneasiness when he was caught on the spot.
Yiguang said bitterly: "How many times have I told my sister not to communicate with the second son, why does my sister not only refuse to listen, but also fall deeper and deeper, and now she is planning to rebel and usurp the throne, are you crazy?" ”
This sentence made Zheng Dan, who was already panicked, more and more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I know I shouldn't do it, but I really like the second son, and he likes me too. Speaking of this, she suddenly grabbed Yiguang's hand and said eagerly: "Yiguang, you are my best sister, you just don't hear or see anything, don't tell this matter, okay?" ”
Yiguang laughed angrily, "You want me to be an accomplice? ”
Zheng Dan saw her laughing, thinking that he was moved, and hurriedly said: "The second prince said that as long as he can succeed to the throne, he will immediately let the king of Yue return to the country, and when the time comes, Wu and Yue will live in peace, isn't that all happy?" ”
Yiguang looked at her coldly, "What if you lose?" ”
Lose?
Zheng Dan's heart trembled, and he immediately shook his head desperately, and said eagerly: "With the help of Mr. Wen and Dazai, he will definitely not lose, and besides, Wu Xiang has already lost power, unless he ......" She raised her eyes mixed with suspicion and vigilance, "You go and tell the truth." ”
Such a gaze made Yiguang's heart ache, once upon a time, she and Zheng Dan were happy and happy, and they had no distinction from each other, but now they are ......
She took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "You thought things too simply; First, Gongzishan is honest, simple-minded, and not a commander, and King Wu will not easily hand over military power to him; Second, Bo Yao has always been eyeing the military power, how can he be willing to give it away? Third, and most importantly, although Wu Zixu has lost power, he is still alive, and once there is a change, King Wu can use him at any time. Wu Zixu has been fighting for many years, using soldiers like a god, why should Gongzishan fight with him, even if he adds another literary type, he will hit a stone with an egg, and he will definitely die. ”
Yiguang's painstaking persuasion fell in Zheng Dan's ears, but it became a deliberate belittlement of Gongzi Mountain, and he immediately said unhappily: "You don't have much contact with the second son, how do you know that he is not a commander; As for Bo Yao, it is even more ridiculous, that is a villain who is greedy for money and afraid of death, what does he want to do with military power? There is also Wu Zixu, King Wu treated him like that, how could he be willing to help King Wu again. ”
Seeing that she was obsessed, Yiguang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Why don't you say you don't listen, you know that there is a wall in front of you, and you have to hit it headlong, it's not a suicide." ”
Although Yiguang said that she was angry, she couldn't bear Zheng Dan's troubles after all, she eased her breath and persuaded hard: "Sister, you listen to my advice, turn back, don't deal with Gongzi Mountain again, you will not have results; Not to mention the rebellion; After I persuade King Wu to release the king, you and I will go back to Ramie Village and live a peaceful life. ”
If she had stepped into the palace of King Wu, Zheng Dan would have nodded without hesitation, but now that she has seen the wealth and glory of the heavenly family, she has also tasted the taste of love, how can she be willing to let go.
She bit her red lip and said with some resentment: "You are here to restore the country, and I am also for the restoration of the country, why can't mine be mine, I have to listen to your arrangements everywhere?" Speaking of this, a round of light flashed in her eyes, "I know, you are for King Wu." ”
Yiguang's fingertips exposed outside his sleeve trembled slightly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zheng Dan saw her subtle action in his eyes, and confirmed his guess even more, "You keep saying that it is for the sake of Yue Guo and the overall situation; In fact, it is simply that you have true feelings for King Wu and don't want him to have anything to do. ”
"Nonsense!" Yiguang denied it in a little panic, and his heart, which had always been as bright as a bronze mirror, was confused by this sentence.
Zheng Dan sneered: "King Wu is a handsome young man, and he has a deep affection for you, and he is willing to treat you with the strength of a country, how can you not be moved at all?" ”
Yiguang forcibly pressed the undulating heart lake, and said bluntly: "I didn't!" ”
"You don't have to deny it, I can see it." Saying this, Zheng Dan sneered again: "You said that I and the second son have no results, so do you and King Wu have results?" It's just ridiculous. ”
Yiguang was silent, for a long time, she said: "I stayed with him, just for the sake of Yue Guo, as long as he releases King Yue, I will leave immediately." ”
Zheng Dan scoffed at her words, "Do you think that at this time, I will still believe you?" ”
Yiguang looked at Zheng Dan fixedly, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar, as if he had never known each other, "What do you want?" ”
Zheng Dan had already thought of the request, and immediately said: "It's very simple, you just don't know anything, continue to be your medical officer, otherwise you ......"
"How?"
Facing Yiguang's questioning, Zheng Dan was a little uneasy, but quickly made up his mind, "Otherwise, I will tell King Wu about you and Fan Li, and see how he will deal with you." ”
Zheng Dan was proud at this moment, because she felt that she had choked Yiguang's lifeline, and this was the first time that she had always been weak and had the upper hand.
"You dare!" Yiguang's gaze was instantly as sharp as a blade, and at the same time, his palm rose and fell, and a loud slap slapped Zheng Dan in the face.
Zheng Dan stroked his hot face in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and shouted in an unusually sharp voice: "You dare to hit me?!" ”
Seeing the bright red fingerprints on her face, Yiguang also felt a little guilty, but she didn't dare to let Zheng Dan notice it, and said with a cold face: "For the sake of your children's private affairs, you even have to betray your friends and even the country, just based on this, you will not be wronged by this palm!" ”
"Also, this secret passage is used to discuss the restoration of the country, but you ignore the danger of being discovered, and use it as a tryst place, and you don't even know if you are followed, you should also be beaten!"
Zheng Dan was scolded by her and had nothing to say, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, everything is your fault, everything is my fault, are you satisfied?" ”
Seeing her like this, Yiguang thought of the sisterhood in the past, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and stepped forward to hold her wet hand, "Sister, I know this palm is heavier, but I really don't want you to make mistakes again and again, and you can't turn back in the end." ”
Zheng Dan shook off her hand vigorously, took a step back, and said sharply: "You don't have to be pretending to be kind here, people are also you, ghosts are also you, Shi Yiguang, you are really capable!" As she spoke, she stroked her stinging cheek again and muttered to herself, "It's really just you who treats me well......
I don't know how long it took, Zheng Dan suddenly said: "Shi Yiguang, today's matter, if you dare to confide half a word to King Wu, even if I fight to the death, I will definitely tell King Wu the truth!" With that, she brushed her sleeves away and did not linger for a moment.
"What a fool!" Yiguang said hatefully.
