Zongzheng Wuwu and the Nine Emperor Princes led 7,000 Xuanyi iron horsemen, and drove non-stop for several days, and the first army rushed to Wucheng. As soon as they entered the city, they were talking everywhere about retreating from the enemy.

People say that this is a miracle, not so much a miracle of 50,000 people defeating 300,000 people, but a miracle of a woman using her life to defend a city or even an entire country. However, the city was saved, but the woman disappeared, and no one knew where she went.

"Emperor Qi, the minister looked at the house where the mother entered, and in less than half an hour, when the minister led the doctor into the house to check the pulse of the mother, the mother was gone! The ministers ordered martial law to impose martial law on the whole city, and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find the mother. ”

Zong Zheng stood in the room where she lived in a daze, looking at the bright red and piercing blood stains on the ground at the door, and felt that the blood in his body was rapidly coagulating. He looked through everything here, but couldn't find a single word she had left behind.

Xiang Wu knelt behind him and told all these natural things about Niangniang.

Zongzheng is carefree. His eyes were full of anxiety, and his expression was secretly flustered, but he remained motionless as if he had lost his soul. He would rather that when she is in danger, she will abandon everything, and only protect herself and come to him safely. It's a pity that she can do everything, but she won't escape.

The Nine Emperors were shocked, and single-handedly challenged hundreds of thousands of troops, which was unheard of from ancient times to the present, but she, a woman, did it! However, for Brother Qi, what she tried so hard to keep was not as important as herself. He sighed and comforted: "Seventh brother, don't worry, the seventh sister-in-law will definitely be fine." Maybe she's just too tired and wants to find a place to rest for a few days. ”

Zong Zheng didn't speak, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Is Emperor Qiyun really dead?" ”

Xiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and thought slightly: "This ...... The minister was not sure, it was too far away, and the minister saw that he was wearing a dragon robe, which was the costume of Emperor Qiyun, and after he fell off the stone platform, Emperor Qiyun's soldiers were in a panic, and it didn't seem to be fake. ”

Zongzheng's frowns tighter, this matter may not be so simple. Who is Emperor Qiyun, a hundred feet away, how could he be shot so easily and not dodge? Could it be that the siege is just a means, and she is his goal? Thinking of this, Zong Zheng was shocked, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he turned around and ordered: "Immediately put up a list, 100,000 taels of gold, and find the whereabouts of the imperial concubine." Another person was sent to the territory of Qiyun Kingdom to secretly investigate to see if Emperor Qiyun was dead or not. ”

Xiang Wu Lingzhi was about to push it out, and the Nine Emperor Princes asked, "That...... Xiao Ke, what about the girl? ”

Xiang Wu Dao; "Niangniang asked her deputy general Miss Song Xiao to return to the palace, what's the matter, didn't Miss Xiao go back?"

The Nine Emperors' face changed drastically, "I haven't received any news of her returning to the palace." ”

Xiang Wu exclaimed: "Vice General Yao didn't return to the city either, is it ...... Something happened to them too? ”

The Nine Emperor Princes looked panicked, and said to Zong Zheng without worry: "Seventh brother, I will immediately go to inform the news pavilion in the building to find out the whereabouts of the seventh sister-in-law and Xiao Ke." Without waiting for a response, he ran out quickly.

Xiang Wu retreated, and only Zongzheng was left in the house. He looked at the bed, which had long been out of temperature, and his heart felt as if it had been hollowed out. Approaching the bed, he raised his hand to caress the list she had been lying on, clenched his hands tightly, and called "Aman" from his heart. Regret should not let her go, whether she wants to or not, trapping her by her side is the safest.

The early summer sun is not scorching enough, but the land is already full of summer impetuousness.

In a small and ordinary carriage, Man Yao suddenly felt a sour nose and a slight suffocation.

"Rong'er, what's wrong? Feeling unwell? Seeing her frowning slightly, the people around her suddenly raised their hands and pressed their chests, and hurriedly asked. His voice was gentle and slightly nervous. He reached over and touched her, and she dodged like a viper and a beast. said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you. Where the hell are you going to take me? ”

It had been six days since she had been taken away from Wucheng, and the man beside her was naturally Emperor Qiyun who she thought had been killed by her arrow. Unexpectedly, he was so cunning, and found a stand-in to remove her defenses, and he had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city and hide in her room, just waiting for her exhausted "victory" to return.

Neili was sealed, her eyes were covered by a slender black cloth, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't bother to uncover it, because she didn't want to see the man next to her at the moment.

Emperor Qiyun's eyes darkened, his hand hung down, he didn't answer her question, he only sighed lightly, "Rong'er, do you hate me like this?" ”

"yes, it's annoying." She gave him the answer with great certainty, her face was indifferent, and the disgust in her expression and tone was unusually obvious.

Emperor Qiyun's face turned pale, and there was a dead silence in his ice-gray eyes, and he coughed violently. The sound of coughing, sharper and sharper, with a heavy wheezing, sounded in her ears, like the feeling of a dying man who wants to cough out his heart and lungs together. These days, this is the voice she hears the most.

The carriage stopped, Xiao Xunzi lifted the curtain, came in quickly and handed Emperor Qiyun a black pill, "Your Majesty, you are holding this quickly." After that, he looked at Manyao in a blink of an eye, his eyes were complicated, and his tone seemed to be pleading and complaining, "Princess, the slave begs you not to be angry with the emperor anymore, if you do this, you will regret it sooner or later." The emperor is not what you imagined, he has never been sorry for you, if it were not for the emperor, do you think you can live to this day? ”

"Shut up! cough, cough, cough...... Whoever allows you to talk too much, go out. "Emperor Qiyun is displeased, and he is rarely angry. Xiao Xunzi shouted unwillingly: "Your Majesty ......"

"I told you to get out. Ahem...... "Seeing that the emperor was angry, and there was another burst of coughing, Xiao Xunzi was busy and sighed and withdrew.

Manyao turned her head, she couldn't see Emperor Qiyun, she could only hear his coughing and wheezing like tearing his heart and lungs, she frowned slightly, somehow, there was a faint uneasiness in her heart. What exactly does Xiao Xunzi mean by what he said? Why would she regret it? He said that without Emperor Qiyun, she would not be alive today, but if it wasn't for Emperor Qiyun, how could she have suffered so many sins? Even if Emperor Qiyun had great kindness to the real Princess Rongle in the past, what did it have to do with her? She's not Rong Le, she's just a rambling girl. She thought. And his heart was settled.

The coughing gradually stopped, and Emperor Qiyun didn't speak again, just leaned against the carriage, his eyes were gentle and complicated, and he kept looking at her face. She felt his gaze and looked away, a little uncomfortable. I always feel that this kind of relationship is so weird that it makes people tremble.

The carriage took a remote path, probably considering that she was pregnant, the carriage was not moving fast, and every time she passed through a city, she would stay at an inn for one night, and let someone fry a bowl of fetal medicine for her.

She couldn't figure out what kind of person he was. Why can he treat the same person so coldly and cruelly when he is ruthless, and so attentive when he is considerate? His mind is like a pool of deep water, which is incomprehensible. She didn't know when he would give her another hard blow, to harm her child? Or use her as a bargaining chip to blackmail the man she loves? Either way, for her, it was something she couldn't tolerate, so no matter how good he was to her, she wouldn't be grateful to him.

On the night of the border city, an ordinary inn went to the room, and she finally couldn't resist the fatigue and sleepiness of many days, and fell asleep.

The man who pushed the door in slowly approached, sat down gently on the edge of the bed, and carefully removed the black cloth in front of her. Looking at the face that appeared in his sleep every day, the usual gentleness and elegance on his face receded, his eyes were intoxicated, and his eyes were sad. Only when she was asleep did he dare to remove the black cloth. He was afraid that the way she looked at him when she was awake, the hatred and disgust so intense, like a steel knife piercing through the intestines and cutting through the abdomen, piercing deep into the heart, better than on the walls of the city that day, and he saw with his own eyes the sharp arrows she shot mercilessly at the man in his clothes. It was expected by him, but his heart, still at that time, with that arrow, was shattered.

Rong'er, you can do whatever it takes for him, but why are you alone with me...... Always so cruel?

He asked her silently in his heart.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Xunzi, who was dressed in a night clothes, stepped in, pulled the black cloth underneath, and whispered.

Emperor Qiyun didn't raise his head, and asked casually: "How is the situation?" ”

Xiao Xunzi lowered his voice and replied: "The emperor's expectations are not bad at all, fortunately, we went in time and one step ahead of them." Now the Queen Mother is sending people around looking for you. The Southern and Northern Dynasties also sent a lot of people to investigate the news, and there were people checking at all the gates, if you don't want the Queen Mother to find us, then our token can't be used. ”

Emperor Qiyun nodded, these were all expected, and he lightly ordered: "According to the original plan, go and prepare a few sets of coarse cloth clothes and go on the road in disguise." ”

Xiao Xunzi responded, and said, "But the emperor, your medicine ...... Not much. ”

Emperor Qiyun's eyes lit up and he paused, and asked, "How much is left?" ”

Xiao Xunzi said worriedly: "According to the normal dosage, I'm afraid it won't last for two months." ”

Emperor Qiyun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "In the future, the materials will be halved when decocting the medicine, and then it will be changed from once every three days to once every five days." ”

Xiao Xunzi exclaimed: "How can this be made?" Your body...... Alas! Your Majesty, you are doing this...... Is it really worth it? ”

Emperor Qiyun's ice-gray eyes were as silent as ashes, he stared at the woman who was lying quietly on the bed sleeping peacefully, and said with a wry smile: "I'm already half a person in the ground, what are you doing with all this?" You go ahead and arrange it. ”

Xiao Xunzi had no choice but to withdraw and close the door for him.

Emperor Qiyun sat back on the edge of the bed, wanting to shake her hand, but he was afraid of waking her, so he finally gave up. He looked at the hands, almost the same pale color as his, and he suddenly wondered whether it was right or wrong to save her in the first place, and if they had died together at that time, would they have been able to avoid the misfortune that had arisen later?

Early on the morning of the second day, when I woke up, the sky was bright.

She opened her eyes and saw a woman standing in front of the bed, she only glanced at it, and without looking closely, she frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The woman smiled softly, put a set of coarse cloth clothes in front of her, and said, "Rong'er, get up and change clothes, we should go." ”

Manyao's hand that was holding on to get up suddenly froze, and he turned his head in surprise and stared at him, this "woman" ...... It turned out to be Emperor Qiyun?! She was stunned, she couldn't imagine that he was an emperor and dressed as a woman, and he looked like him, but he was extremely beautiful.

"You...... How do you dress up like this? A hint of mockery crossed her confused eyes.

Emperor Qiyun didn't seem to see it, and only smiled gently: "Expedient." ”

A joke suddenly popped up in Manyao's mind: "It turns out that Brother Qi is a big beauty!" ”

She was stunned and frowned, this sentence was a little inexplicable, could it be Rong Le's memory? She stared at him again, although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he was tall, and his face was elegant and handsome. Suddenly, a vague familiar feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, as if she had really seen him like this somewhere.

"Did you wear that before?" Somehow she asked this sentence, and it was not in her consciousness.

Emperor Qiyun was slightly shocked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder, "What do you remember?" ”

She turned around abruptly, a little annoyed by her strange mood and words, what was wrong with her? What does his past have to do with her?! lowered his head and said with a cold expression: "No." You go out, I'll change my clothes. ”

Emperor Qiyun stopped his movements, his expression was darkened by that indifferent tone, he withdrew his hand, straightened up and took two steps back, slowly turned around, his chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes stared at the ground, and said softly: "I, don't look at you." ”

Man Yao grabbed his clothes and put it down, did he mean not to go out? She turned her head in frustration and turned in the opposite direction, without looking at him or making any movement, silently protesting.

Emperor Qiyun seemed to expect her to come here, he took away the look of loss in Fang Cai, turned around and smiled gently, and said with a doting face: "If Rong'er doesn't have the strength to change clothes, then I'll help you." Saying that, the person had already come, and he was very angry, slapped his hand away with his clothes, slashed him with his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Turn around!" ”

Emperor Qiyun stopped, looked at her with a smile, and turned around obediently. She quickly changed her clothes, and the size of the clothes was just right, as if it was tailored to her proportions.

After getting dressed, Emperor Qiyun pressed her to a chair and sat down, she didn't know what he wanted to do, so she struggled to resist.

Emperor Qiyun pinched her shoulder with his big hand, his tone was still soft, but with a faint warning, "Rong'er, sit down obediently and don't move, I don't want to hurt you and the child." ”

Manyao immediately stopped struggling at this gentle warning, and she believed that this man would definitely do what he said. Glaring angrily at the gentle-looking and harmless man in the bronze mirror, she turned her head away angrily.

Emperor Qiyun smiled absently, the corners of his mouth pursed a touch of bitterness, and he put his hands on her head, the silver-white silk with a soft luster flowing between his fingers, like the time they once had never returned. He gently combed the silk with his slender fingers, and then curled it up, although the movements were a little clumsy, but serious and careful. After curling his head, he picked up a piece of blue cloth, wrapped it whole, tied a knot on the side, and hung down at the corners, giving it a unique charm.

He took a small box, divided into many compartments, filled with different colors of gel and powder, and he smeared some between his fingers on her face.

He was hunched over, his face close to hers, and the snorts of the two were clearly audible.

Manyao's body stiffened slightly, always trying to avoid the scorching breath that he was rushing on, but his chin was tightly clasped by him, and he couldn't move, so he had to let him move. Unable to struggle, she didn't want to look at him, so she simply closed her eyes.

It was a quarter of an hour before he stopped and glanced at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Manyao opened his eyes and looked at the completely unfamiliar face in the mirror and was stunned, it was a face that had no beauty at all, but it was not ugly, just ordinary, so ordinary that it was not easy to remember after watching it ten times. It turns out that the disguise without a skin mask can be perfect like this. She raised her hand and tried to wipe it on her face, but she couldn't wipe anything off.

Emperor Qiyun watched her movements, put away her things with a smile, and pulled her out, Xiao Xunzi was already waiting outside.

This time passing by the bustling street market, he didn't click on her acupuncture again, maybe because Yi Lerong didn't worry about others recognizing her, or maybe there was a warning in advance to understand how much she cared about the child in her womb.

There were many pedestrians on the streets, and the carriage was moving slowly, and when she heard someone talking outside, saying that Zongzheng was offering a large reward to find her whereabouts, and frantically leading people around to find her, she suddenly felt a wave in her heart, and imagined that she was anxious to sleep and eat for her. Her current appearance, even if she is the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty, I'm afraid no one will believe it. She had tried to deliver the message in various ways, but as a result, no matter what she handed out, it was finally returned to her by Emperor Qiyun himself, and the person she chose to deliver the letter made him lose his mouth without exception.

She was imprisoned by his death row in this way, like the Monkey King in the hands of the Buddha, no matter how she turned it, she couldn't turn over his Five Finger Mountain. She couldn't help but be very depressed, she was a person with a body, so tossing, the more tired she became, and she wanted to fall asleep after walking a few steps.

"Rong Qi, what do you want?" In the carriage, she leaned on the board of the carriage with extreme weariness, glared at him angrily and desperately, and called him by name at once, questioning him.

Emperor Qiyun leaned in the same posture, his eyes had the same tiredness, looking at her fixedly, he didn't make a sound, only occasionally coughed.

Stop and go, more than 20 days, they are still on the road, I don't know who they are carefully avoiding? She is really tired, such restless suspicion and defense day and night, endless fighting of hearts and minds, she is tired, and he is also tired.

It's better to have a showdown.

She said: "Brother Huang, I still call you Brother Huang, I want to ask you, is my use value really that high?" So high that you don't hesitate to use 300,000 troops as bait? What the hell are you trying to do when you catch me?! Say it and don't waste each other's time. You and I are brother and sister after all, and if I can do it, for the sake of your dedication to taking care of me and the child in my womb these days, I will consider it. If you violate my bottom line and I can't do it, then even if you kill me, I won't fulfill you. ”

Emperor Qiyun looked at her stubborn eyes, his eyelashes drooped and raised, his ice-gray eyes moved, and asked softly, "Then Rong'er tell me, where is your bottom line?" ”

She said angrily, "You know. ”

Emperor Qiyun frowned and provoked, "Zongzheng is worry-free? Are you afraid that I will use you to threaten him? ”

"Yes." She replied with great firmness.

His pupils shrank, his lips trembled slightly, and he felt his qi and blood surge. It's always like this, knowing that it's impossible, but always wanting to hear the answer to denial. He turned his head, put his hand into a fist against his pale lips, coughed a few times, and then spoke, his voice was like a cold wind sweeping over the shabby Xun, and his lowered eyes were dim, "Is he already so important in your heart?" Would you rather die yourself than be harmed? Why? "That question of why, it is difficult to ask.

"Because he is my husband, the father of the child in my womb, and the only man I love in my life. I can live for him or die for him. ”

The only love? She said: "Only love!

There was a sudden pain in his heart, and an emotion welled up in his eyes—sadness, a kind of sadness that came out of the depths of his soul as if he had been abandoned and betrayed by the whole world. But he was still smiling, like spring water in March, gentle on the surface, cold to the bone. He hung his head, opened his mouth, and remained silent for a long time. Finally, in the midst of the cough, he spat out a vague sentence: "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes." Another affirmative answer, without hesitation.

And the end of the word "yes" was drowned out in a sudden and fierce cough.

Man Yao watched him bend over, bow his head and take out a handkerchief from his bosom and cover his lips, as if trying to suppress the cough, but to no avail.

His head hung down, covering one side of his face. The thin shoulders trembled from the hidden cough, and the obvious outline of the skeleton on the back was clear and abnormal, and she realized that he seemed to be much thinner than he had been three years ago. Suddenly, a drop of bright red blood dripped on the car board, splashing at his feet, stunned, frowning suspiciously, she didn't seem to say anything that irritated him too much, why was he so excited that he vomited blood? Pursing her lips, she really didn't want to be soft-hearted about this man, she even thought viciously, if he died like this, would she be free, and she could go to see her immediately?

I thought about it in my heart, but for some reason, I said: "I'll call Xiao Xunzi." With that, she sighed.

"No, you don't." As soon as she got up, her hand was grabbed by him, his strength was still very strong, her fingers were pale, reflecting her equally pale skin, she was stunned, when did her hand begin, it was the same as his, pale as a ghost. When he was stunned, he raised his head slightly and asked with difficulty: "Rong'er, it turns out that you are still worried about me." ”

When he heard this, he immediately shook off his hand and wanted to say, "Who would worry about you." But before the words could be spoken, as soon as she raised her eyes, she met the red marks in the corners of his eyes, and her body shook, and she was so frightened that she sat on the soft couch covered with a mat. The blood...... It didn't come out of his mouth, but ...... It came out of his eyes!

It's weird! She looked at the emaciated cheeks in a daze, the pale facial skin, the two blood marks hanging from the corners of his eyes, and his ice-gray eyes were also covered with a faint layer of blood mist, which made people tremble.

She had seen too many bloody scenes, but this scene of bloody tears in her eyes was seen once, and her face suddenly turned pale, and her heart was full of fear, and she couldn't tell what she was afraid of?

Seeing her looking at his face with such a look, Emperor Qiyun couldn't help but touch the corners of his eyes, and the residual red on his hand, his eyes changed a few times, but he smiled at her, and said as if nothing happened: "I'm scared of you." ”

Manyao's lips were pursed, and there was no squeak.

Emperor Qiyun took a steady breath and sat up straight again, his eyes on the red blood stains on the floor, without focus. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Rong'er, are you sure...... Is he really the happiness you want in this life? ”

Manyao told him with his eyes, sure.

Emperor Qiyun leaned back on the carriage board behind him, slowly closed his eyes, his hands hanging by his side, and clenched them little by little.

Manyao looked at his exhausted face and stopped talking. Will he get tired too? She felt as if he was awake whenever she opened her eyes, and she almost wondered if he had slept after all these days. Or is he so alert that even if she opens her eyes, she can wake him up?

Seeing that his eyes were closed for a long time, she thought that he was going to fall asleep, and that this conversation ended without a problem. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, Emperor Qiyun spoke again without warning: "Okay, I will fulfill you." But I have a request, you help me fulfill a wish, the only wish in my life that belongs only to me, and then I will let you go. ”

Manyao asked, "What wish?" ”

Emperor Qiyun opened his eyes, there was a hazy and faint light in his eyes, and he couldn't see his expression, "Accompany me to a place, live incognito, and live an ordinary life." ”

She frowned slightly, and hesitated slightly, could she not agree? She doesn't seem to have a choice!

"What place? How long does it take? ”

He said, "You'll know when you go." As for the time, maybe five months, maybe half a year. ”

"No, I can't. Half a year is too long, I don't have that much time. "I don't know how long her body can last to support her, and after half a year, it's not certain whether she can see the last side of worry-free. And her child, she had to hand it over to him with her own hands, and told him that it must be very painful and very affectionate for their child.

Emperor Qiyun seemed to see through her thoughts, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to see Zongzheng worry-free?" Don't worry, your time, I'll pay you back. ”

"Also? How to return? "She hadn't heard that time could be repaid, unless, he could cure her of the poison. The poison of this "Mandate of Heaven" may be caused by him. A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, and she fixed on his gentle face.

Emperor Qiyun didn't open his mouth again, and closed his eyes again.

"Are you ......" Manyao wanted to ask, but before she could finish a word, Emperor Qiyun gently interrupted her: "Rong'er, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while, don't make noise." ”

His voice seemed to be stabbing out of her heart, weak and weak, but she had to stop.

The carriage entered the Qiyun Kingdom, and one thing was being discussed everywhere: the emperor Xu, the empress dowager who had been concentrating on worshipping the Buddha and had never stepped out of the Cixi Palace for half a step, suddenly stood up, held the national seal, and monopolized the government in the name of the emperor who did not leave an heir. What is even more strange is that several important ministers of the DPRK and China have come forward to express their support. The queen mother was in power, and issued a decree to take the position of the vassal king as a reward to capture the unfilial descendants of the royal family - Rong Le alive and avenge the emperor.

Therefore, Manyao no longer dared to act rashly. And her stomach is getting heavier day by day.

The carriage went on for another ten days, and in the evening it stopped in a small village.

It was a beautiful village, close to the edge of the imperial city of Qiyun Kingdom, and the village was not large, with about a dozen families. There is a big river in the village, and an intricate long wooden bridge is built on the river, and lotus lanterns of various colors are hung on the chains on the side of the bridge.

The villagers here are simple and honest, and they make a living from fishing. Sitting on the bridge during the day to fish, and taking a boat trip to the lake at night, life is enjoyable and enviable.

Man Yao was helped out of the carriage, standing on the river bank, looking at the surrounding scenery, suddenly feeling a little familiar, as if he had been here before.

Emperor Qiyun has changed back into men's clothes, although he is no longer a brocade dress, but he is a natural king, and his elegant and noble temperament cannot be covered by the coarse cotton clothes. He also changed his appearance for himself, but the strange thing is that she seems to have seen even his appearance after his disguise, as if after coming out with him this time, her behavior and behavior, she unconsciously have a vague familiarity.

She wore a cloth skirt with blue flowers on a white background, and her head was wrapped in dark blue cloth, with this ordinary face, although she had an extraordinary temperament, but ordinary people would not think too much.

"Childe is back?" In the distance, an aunt in her forties saw them and immediately greeted them happily with a sincere smile, "The house has been cleaned up, waiting for you to come back." Now, ma'am, won't you come back this time? ”

Madam? Man Yao frowned and looked at the man beside him suspiciously.

Emperor Qiyun smiled gently and politely: "Thank you, Sister-in-law Yu." We're going to be staying for a while. Xunzi. He glanced at Xiao Xunzi, Xiao Xunzi took out a piece of gold and handed it to Sister-in-law Yu, and said politely: "Thank you Sister-in-law for your hard work, this is our ...... Childe's thank you. ”

"Oh, this can't be done, take it back." Sister-in-law Yu hurriedly refused, "In the past few years, I have been sweeping the dust and wiping the soil, and it doesn't take much effort, how can I use such a heavy gift!" We can't finish the money that Childe sends every year, so we can't take anything this time. You just came back, it's getting dark, don't start a fire tonight, come to my house and have a bite, there are no good dishes, don't dislike it. ”

This sister-in-law is a sincere person. Emperor Qiyun smiled politely: "Don't bother Sister-in-law Yu, I'll let Xunzi go to the village entrance wine shop to buy some food and go back." Rong'er is heavy, so she has to go back early to rest. As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at his bulging lower abdomen, and his face seemed to be the joy and happiness of being a father.

Man Yao frowned, and had to praise this person's camouflage skills were not ordinarily strong. And at this moment, Emperor Qiyun has lost his majesty, and in the face of ordinary people, he has no emperor's posture at all, he is like an elegant hermit, humble and easy to deal with.

Sister-in-law Yu followed her gaze and said happily: "Yo! It turns out that Mrs. is pregnant, so I have to congratulate my son and Mrs. Come to think of it, you've been married for several years, how many children are these? ”

How many years have you been married? Rong Le and Emperor Qiyun? On a June day, Manyao felt a cool breath suddenly rise from the bottom of her heart, freezing her completely. She was confused, what kind of relationship did this Rong Le have with her brother? How do people become more and more confused?

Emperor Qiyun glanced at her without a trace, and smiled at Sister-in-law Yu: "That's it." As he spoke, he took the gold ingot in Xiao Xunzi's hand and put it in Sister-in-law Yu's hand, and said, "Please keep this, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Sister-in-law Yu smiled embarrassedly and said, "What do you need me to do, Childe just say." ”

Emperor Qiyun said: "That's the case, Rong'er has not had a good temper since she had a body, I took her out to relax this time, and the old people in the family don't know." If someone asks, please tell them that we are your distant relatives and have come to join you. ”

Sister-in-law Yu smiled, thinking that there must be a conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the young couple came out to avoid it for the time being. Sure enough, there are a lot of big families! She patted her chest happily and said with a smile: "This is easy, wrap it on me." Not to mention that others inquired, even if someone from the yamen came to investigate, I could handle it. ”

Emperor Qiyun thanked him, took Manyao's hand, looked like a considerate husband, and said softly: "Rong'er, let's go, let's go home." ”

Resisting and wanting to break free from him, the sister-in-law persuaded in a tone of a passer-by: "Childe is really a rare considerate person in the world!" I hope that Mrs. will cherish her blessings. Husband and wife must work together to live a good life. Go back quickly, don't be tired with the child, if you need my help, just let Xunzi come over and say hello. ”

"I ......"

"Rong'er, if you have anything to do when you go home, be obedient." Emperor Qiyun didn't give her a chance to speak, and pulled her away.

Sister-in-law Yu looked at the back behind them, shook her head and sighed, "Alas, this lady is really, she is not satisfied with such a considerate husband, so she has to make trouble." I don't know why she left suddenly six years ago, causing Childe to be sad alone......"

Manyao walked slowly, listening to Sister-in-law Yu's words in his ears and shocking in his heart. Her brows furrowed, the more and more doubts in her heart, and the more uneasy she became, the relationship between Rong Le and Emperor Qiyun seemed to be more complicated than she imagined. Aren't they brother and sister?

The chaotic sorrow is like a mess of numbness, the more you rationalize, the more chaotic it becomes, and your head hurts when you think about it.

Emperor Qiyun took her into a simple and chic courtyard in front of the bamboo forest at the east end of the village, and her eyes lit up, only to see that the courtyard was lush with flowers and plants, and the courtyard wall was surrounded by ginkgo trees, and the branches and leaves were luxuriant and scattered, bringing the entire courtyard in the center. And the courtyard is half a person's height of white double-petaled hollyhocks in large swaths of bloom, gathered together, prosperous like brocade, walking on the stone road in the middle, a refreshing fragrance of flowers with the wind to hit the face, blowing but a sense of annoyance.

"After six years, this ginkgo tree has not changed at all, but these flowers have grown so tall." He looked around with a foggy gaze, with nostalgia, a faint almost inaudible sadness in his tone, and finally his eyes fell on her, leaving only a gentle and doting smile, "Rong'er, do you like it?" ”

Manyao's body suddenly stiffened, and a vague picture flashed in her mind, and she seemed to hear someone say: "Brother Qi, I like these ginkgo trees, let's build the house here, right?" When the wind blows in autumn, the yard is full of golden ginkgo leaves, which must be beautiful! ”

"I don't like the purpose, I think the hollyhock flowers are very good, and in the summer, the whole yard blooms, a holy white ......"

"Brother Qi......"

Her head hurt again, as if it was about to explode, and she held her head in her hands and crouched down, suddenly not wanting to hear those words. Why did the more memories she memorized, the stronger the sense of uneasiness in her heart?

"Rong'er, what's wrong? Does your head hurt again? Xunzi, go and decoction. Emperor Qiyun hurriedly picked her up, walked into the house, and put her on the bed.

She rubbed her head with her hands, but she couldn't stop the fierce pain, and her whole head was so heavy that she couldn't support it, and she couldn't think. She grabbed his arm in a frustrated manner, her nails digging into it hard.

The pain in his arm didn't make Emperor Qiyun frown, he looked at her with pity in his eyes, and she left one blood-colored fingerprint after another on his body, without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to pinch him, and she collapsed on the bed, and it was difficult to catch her breath.

Emperor Qiyun turned around and went out, and soon returned, holding a medicine bowl in his hand. He blew, helped her up, and handed the medicine to her lips, the bitter smell of the medicine combined with a pungent smell rushed straight to her, she frowned and turned her head, instinctively wanting to refuse.

"When I drink it, my head doesn't hurt. Rong'er is good. He coaxed her like a child.

Manyao stared at his hand holding the medicine bowl, a little stunned, this is three men entangled, they have all hurt her, and she has never been greedy, just want a love is enough.

She took the medicine bowl and drank it with bated breath, it was really bitter. Handing back the medicine bowl, she caught a glimpse of the sleeve of his coat slipping down as he raised his hand, and a sharp cut on his pale wrist was still bleeding before she could treat it. Slid down from her eyes, a bleak straight line, and she could clearly smell the bitter smell of the fishy smell.

She was shocked in her heart, and looked up at him tremblingly, "In this medicine...... Is there your blood? ”

Emperor Qiyun was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he did not answer.

Manyao's body froze, she actually drank his blood?! She suddenly felt a churn in her stomach, and the bloody breath lingered on the tip of her nose for a long time, and she leaned over and retched repeatedly, blushing in pain. She wondered, why did the good guy put his blood in the medicine? Could it be that his blood can cure the poison of the "Mandate of Heaven" in her body?

Emperor Qiyun smoothed her back, and when she calmed down, he handed her a glass of water, took her to drink it, and smiled gently: "Take the medicine and go to sleep." Then he helped her lie down and covered her with a thin quilt. It's June, but it's not too hot.

He finished it all and went out with the bowl.

Man Yao tilted his head, looking at his thin back, and couldn't tell what it was like.

What should we think of this person? She didn't know anymore.

Looking at the roof with his eyes open, he muttered in his heart: "Brother Huang, what kind of person are you?" Why did you put me to death and save me with your own life? ”

With so many conspiracies, what he wanted to do, she didn't understand. If he has the ambition to dominate the world, then how could a careerist who only has the power of the country in his eyes go to such a village with a woman to build a house, plant flowers, and plant trees? If he has no ambition, then why is he using her everywhere, wanting to invade the Kingdom of Heaven and push her to a dead end? What if he knew that she was no longer the real Rong Le? Will it be saved by blood? Or simply strangle her.

With countless questions, under the influence of the drug, she fell into a deep sleep.

In this village, they lived for four months, and during these four months, Emperor Qiyun treated her very well, except for not letting her leave, he would rely on her and take good care of her in whatever she wanted. His cough was getting worse and worse, not only bleeding from the corners of his eyes, but also nosebleeds, and her lethargy was lessened.

After a few months of getting along day and night, his care and carefulness made her no longer speak coldly to him as she did at the beginning, at least she could talk calmly, without forgiveness, just a temporary compromise in desperation, for herself and for the child in her belly.

In the autumn of this year, the courtyard is full of golden ginkgo leaves, which are covered with a full layer, forming a beautiful scenery in the autumn morning light.

Conceived in October and delivered in one day. She welcomed the birth of her child in trepidation and joy.

The heart-rending pain tore through her body sharply, and she couldn't even scream from exhaustion, and she wanted to give up several times, and wanted to sleep like that. And the man she hated and hated couldn't get rid of her, so he sat beside her, holding one of her hands tightly, and the palms of both of them were soaked in cold sweat.

She gradually blinded her eyes tiredly and weakly, and the midwife hurriedly shouted: "Don't sleep, don't let her sleep, she won't wake up from this sleep." Use more force, and the head will soon come out. ”

But she was so tired that she had no strength.

Emperor Qiyun turned her face in a panic, "Rong'er, wake up, don't sleep." ”

"I'm so sleepy." Her faint voice was like a misty cloud of dust, quickly dissipating.

Emperor Qiyun hurriedly said: "No matter how sleepy you are, you can't sleep." Don't you want to see him? I've had someone inform him, and if you want to see him, you'll have to hold on. And children...... Isn't your patience all these months just for this child? ”

"Kid? Yes, my child......" She opened her eyes tiredly, her gloomy gaze lit up as she reached out to grab him, "Who did you just say?" He? Be...... Hassle-free? ”

Emperor Qiyun nodded, "Yes." ”

Manyao's face was happy, "Really? You...... You didn't lie to me? ”

"I kid you not." Emperor Qiyun's infinitely pitying and sad eyes made her begin to believe his words, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, God knows how much she missed worry-free these days, always thought, always thought, never stopped. Every time the child kicks her, she wants Wuwu to share the joy of giving birth to life with her, and she hopes that when the child is born, the person who accompanies her and gives her strength is Wuwu.

Emperor Qiyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her heart was extremely bitter.

Manyao's consciousness returned, and the tearing pain invaded again, she wanted to clench her teeth, grabbed his hand desperately, pinched her nails hard, and tried her best to scream out, "Ahhh

Immediately after, a loud baby cry sounded, and she walked away from the ghost door, and collapsed weakly on the bed. Sweat soaked his head and clothes, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"It's a boy." She heard the midwife say this to Emperor Qiyun.

She smiled with relief, whether it was a boy or a girl, it was good to be alive and well.

Emperor Qiyun gently wiped the sweat beads on her face with a cloth towel, looked at her pale and tired face, and asked nervously, "Rong'er, are you okay?" ”

She looked at the genuine worry in his eyes, nodded slightly, raised her hand laboriously, and said weakly, "Child...... Pick it up and show me. ”

Emperor Qiyun took the child and put it beside her. She looked at the child, the newborn baby's eyes could not be opened, and the whole face was wrinkled, and she couldn't tell who it looked like. She reached out and touched the child's face, and the child cried even harder with a "wow". She is a first-time mother, and she is a little helpless in the face of her child's crying.

Sister-in-law Yu, who came in to help, said with a smile: "The child is going to cry when he is born." The louder the cry, the more productive it will be in the future. Listening to this child's cry, in the future, it must be amazing. ”

Looking at the child's lovely face and touching his soft little hands, the joy and happiness of the first mother filled his heart. Child, it's her and carefree child! She had a sincere smile on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, happy and happy. I don't know what kind of expression this child will look like when I see it? The thought of him looking for her everywhere made her feel distressed.

Sister-in-law Yu asked, "What's the name of this child?" ”

Manyao said casually: "I haven't taken it yet, wait for his father to take it." ”

Sister-in-law Yu smiled: "Then the boy should get one." ”

Emperor Qiyun's body stiffened slightly, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the child, his heart surging. If this was his child, how nice it would be! It's a pity that he is destined to never have a child of his own. Listening to the child's cry, he frowned slightly, and said to the midwife: "Carry the child to the other room, Rong'er is tired, let her sleep well first." ”

"No, I want to see him more." Reluctantly touched the child's hand, as if he was afraid that he would lose sight of it once he let go.

Emperor Qiyun said: "You rest first, and when you have recovered your body, there is time to hold him." Ignoring her obstruction, he picked up the child and handed it to Sister-in-law Yu.

Sister-in-law Yu smiled: "The son is really considerate, and the lady is so blessed." After saying that, he went out of the room with the midwife, and gently closed the door, leaving room for the two of them.

Lying weakly, limp all over, but not sleepy at all. Before, she chose to sacrifice her child because she was worried that Wu Wu would save her life, but now that the child is born, she can't wait to see him.

"You...... Did you really send someone to inform him? She asked tentatively, still a little incredulous, the imperial brother went to great lengths to bring her here incognito, would he really let Sansso-free find her? Or is there some conspiracy he has devised again? "And when will he arrive?"

Emperor Qiyun saw that she looked anxious and anxious, his heart was tingling, and he looked down at his hand, and on the pale skin, there were no more and no less, five bright red blood marks, dripping in his eyes. His eyes, which were deep and unable to see emotion in the past, were gradually dyed with sadness, but he pretended to be relaxed and asked casually, "Rong'er can't wait like this?" Are you having a good time these days? ”

Manyao glanced at the wound on his hand and was slightly apologetic, but she didn't apologize to him.

She said lightly: "It's not that the days are bad, it's that the people around you are wrong." A peaceful and peaceful life has always been what I look forward to and yearn for, but only if I live here willingly, rather than being imprisoned and coerced. ”

The gentle smile on Emperor Qiyun's lips stared, she thought for a while, and said, "I, not the person in your heart. ”

"And who are you?" Emperor Qiyun asked again: "How do you know that you are not?" ”

She couldn't answer, she couldn't tell him that she wasn't from this world, and that maybe she'd be burned as a monster.

Emperor Qiyun looked at her drooping eyelids fixedly, and after a moment, he stood up, "You can rest well." After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Manyao stopped him, "Brother Huang." ”

He paused, and turned back.

Man Yao looked into his eyes and asked, "Did you give me the poison of the 'Mandate of Heaven' in my body?" ”

"You can ...... I assume it to be. The ice gray in Emperor Qiyun's eyes gradually spread out from a point in the center of his eyes, and now it has occupied his entire pupil, looking lifeless.

Is it really him? I don't know why this man wants to poison his beloved woman like this? If you want to seal her memory, why do you want her to remember it now? He seemed to be a contradictory person, his actions and his feelings were always in conflict, and she couldn't figure it out. He asked, "Can it really be solved?" ”

Emperor Qiyun groaned slightly, thoughtfully; "Maybe, maybe...... No. ”

What is the answer to this? "What the hell is that? Or can't? ”

"I don't know."

"You!" Speechless, don't know? Then he said he would give her back time?

She was angry, he was teasing her, giving her hope, and disappointing her. She didn't want to say anything more, turned over, turned her back to him, and didn't bother with the man anymore.

Emperor Qiyun sighed silently, ready to turn around and go out.

"Ahh Who are you? You, you, you ......" Sister-in-law Yu's frightened cry suddenly came from the other room, and before she finished speaking, she heard a "bang" sound, followed by a noisy footsteps outside.

After a shock, he sat up suddenly, ignoring the discomfort of his body, he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Emperor Qiyun was slightly stunned and swept out before her.

A large number of Imperial Forest Army guards outside the gate came with neat steps, and stood in two columns at the door. The commander of the Imperial Forest Army saw the emperor come out and hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and pay respects.

Emperor Qiyun's face changed, in the end, it was under her nose, although it was hidden, but it was finally found!

Manyao put on his clothes and stepped out of the door, the child in the next room was gone, and the sister-in-law and the midwife fell to the ground, frightened by the situation outside. After sweeping around, he didn't see anyone holding the child, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is the child?" What about my child? ”

Sister-in-law Yu trembled and said, "Being ...... The black-clad masked man took him away. ”

Dressed in black and masked? Holding on to the door frame, her mind was already powerless to think, she turned her head and stared at Emperor Qiyun fiercely, her gaze was anxious and hateful, "Is this your purpose?" Use five months and the lives of 300,000 troops to exchange a child as a bargaining chip, contain me, contain Zongzheng worry-free, and achieve your ambition to dominate the world? What did you say to notify me that you came to me without worry, and said that the poison in my body might be cured...... It's all fake, you lied to me! You give back my child, give back my child! ”

She rushed up and grabbed him by the hem of his clothes, as if she wanted to strangle him to death.

What to do? What to do? She kept asking herself in her heart, she couldn't save her life, and she lost her child, what face did she have to see without worry?

Emperor Qiyun stood there fixedly, letting her vent the hatred in her heart. Looking at her almost crazy anger, the resentful eyes born of anxiety and resentment, he opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Looking at her as such a stranger, her eyes shattered inch by inch as if she had been delayed. He once wondered what kind of person it would take for a woman like her, who was always calm and reasonable, to make her crazy? He once hoped that one day her crazy gaffe would be because of him, even if it was hate.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army said: "The princess doesn't need to panic, your child has been taken back to the palace by the people sent by the Queen Mother, and when you enter the palace, you will naturally see you." Emperor, princess, please! ”

Stunned, Queen Mother? The queen mother who doesn't need anyone to say goodbye and eats fasting and recites Buddha in Cixi Palace all day long? She has been in the palace of Qiyun Kingdom for three years, and she has never seen her.

What did the Queen Mother do when she ordered someone to take her child away? Also, how did the Queen Mother know they were here? Didn't she think the royal brother was dead? also made a formal national funeral, issued a decree, used the throne as a reward, and captured her alive to avenge the royal brother. If she was only to be investigated, she should be investigated in the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven, but how could she find out this place?

Her eyebrows furrowed, her thoughts a little confused, and she forced herself to compose. Think about it, there are only two possibilities, one is that the queen mother knew that the imperial brother was not dead, and stood up to preside over the state affairs under the pretext of mourning and ordering her to be arrested; Second, all of this was a ploy set up by Emperor Qiyun.

"Get in the car." Emperor Qiyun's tone was indifferent with a slight tremble, and after speaking, he himself walked towards the carriage that the Empress Dowager had ordered for them first.

What should come will come eventually, and it can't be stopped.

Seeing her standing still, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army said again, "Princess, please." ”

Manyao followed the car without a choice, and the mighty team set off, gradually moving away in the shocked and surprised eyes of Sister-in-law Yu and the villagers.

An hour after they had left, the sound of horses' hooves splashed on the banks of the river in this quiet village, and a dozen black horses galloped up and stopped at the gate of the small courtyard covered with golden ginkgo leaves. The man in the lead was dressed in an ink-colored brocade robe, with a handsome face, but he had a demonic and cold aura, which made people tremble to the bottom of their hearts at the sight. He jumped off his horse first, and went straight into the house without touching the ground.

The room was in a mess, the bedding on the bed was overturned to the floor, and the room was empty!

Zong Zheng looked at the two large basins of blood and water in the room, and some blood-stained cloths, and his heart trembled suddenly, and he stood there stiffly, unable to move.

Leng Yan looked around and came over to report: "Master, there is no one in the house." It seems to have just left, and the stove is still hot. ”

After more than four months, Wuyinlou found out the news, and at that time, he received an anonymous letter. He hurried to catch up, but he didn't expect to be a step too late.

Where did she go? Whose blood does it belong to? "Go to the surrounding villagers and ask what happened here?" Before he could finish speaking, someone outside asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Sister-in-law Yu probed at the gate of the courtyard, and saw that these people seemed to be from a lot of backgrounds, so she asked a little cautiously.

Leng Yan hurriedly went out and asked, "This sister-in-law, do you know where the people in this house have gone?" ”

Sister-in-law Yu said: "They were picked up by someone from the palace. Those people call their sons the emperor, I have long seen that they are not ordinary people, so I didn't expect him to be the emperor. Alas, who are you? What to do with the emperor? ”

Leng Yan's rare patience, "We are their friends. Do you know what's going on here? Why is there so much blood? ”

Sister-in-law Yu smiled: "Oh, that, Mrs. just gave birth to a child, and I haven't had time to pour out the blood and water." It's strange to say, it stands to reason that Mrs. should be a mother, why do those people call Mrs. a princess? ”

Zongzheng's worry-free body was shocked, and he was born? He turned around and walked out quickly, his deep eyes with unconcealed nervousness, and asked, "Are you safe?" ”

Sister-in-law Yu was stunned when she saw his face, obediently, there is such a good-looking person in this world, and he is still a man! But...... His eyes, like two sharp knives, stared at her a little nervously.

Sister-in-law Yu unconsciously took a few steps back, and an inexplicable fear arose in her heart, Leng Yan saw that she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, so she had to frown, and said patiently: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be afraid, we just inquired about their situation." Tell us what you know. ”

Sister-in-law Yu hesitated slightly, and secretly looked at Zongzheng from the corner of her eye, seeing that although he was imposing, he was obviously caring and nervous, not like a bad person. Then he replied carefully: "Oh, peace, adults and children alike." It's still a boy, and the cry is loud. ”

Just be in peace! Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief, it can't be said whether it is joy or worry, the child is fine, but the poison in her body is ...... He asked, "Where did she go?" ”

"I've been taken back to the palace."

Zong Zheng frowned, and his eyes suddenly darkened. Sister-in-law Yu was stunned, how could this person's face change?

Zong Zheng turned around without worry, went to the house and put away her clothes with his own hands, there was her smell on them, a faint fragrance. He held the loose white cloth in both hands, and looked around the house where she had lived for four months, in the last months of the most difficult pregnancy, he could not be by her side to take care of her, even at the critical moment when she gave birth, he was not by her side, how hard she must have been! Just looking at the two large basins of blood and water, my heart was already pounding.

"Master, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly." Leng Yan reminded in a loud voice, and Zong Zheng was worry-free to restrain his thoughts, "Go and search and see what they can leave behind?" ”

"Yes."

After searching around, a guard found a thick booklet in another room, "Master, this is the only one I found." ”

Leng Yan took it, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "It's the Book of Heaven!" ”

Zong Zheng was stunned for a moment, took it and flipped a few pages, a detailed topographic map, concise and concise marking, the advantages and disadvantages at a glance, and there was also a note of the most suitable strategy for each terrain. Sure enough, it is the book left by Ren Daotian! It turned out that this book was in the hands of Emperor Qiyun, no wonder he marched so fast, as if he had entered a no-man's land. He closed the book, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, why did Emperor Qiyun leave such an important thing in this place?

He went out with doubts and turned on his horse.

"Let's go."

The horses neighed and galloped away, as they had come, leaving only a large cloud of dust.

The Imperial Palace of Qiyun Kingdom, the residence of the Queen Mother, Cixi Palace.

In the main hall, a tall lacquered gold Buddha statue hangs a compassionate smile, and the expression of the common people in the world is like a smile of all beings.

In front of the Buddha statue, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged on a soft futon, about forty years old, dressed in a plain white robe, with a very beautiful face and fluffy. The years have not left too many traces on her face, only a few shallow lines at the corners of her eyes, marking almost invisible vicissitudes. This person is the biological mother of Emperor Qiyun, who is now in charge of the government and the empress dowager who is in power.

She held the Buddha beads in her hand, sat quietly on the futon, her eyes were slightly blind, and her face looked kind and calm.

"Queen Mother, the emperor has come to see you." The personal girl came in to report, the queen mother didn't move, she didn't open her eyes, and said lightly: "Let him come in." You all stand down. ”

"Yes." The palace maids withdrew, and Emperor Qiyun slowly walked in. Walked seven paces behind her and stopped, without saluting.

The Queen Mother is still in that sitting position, her expression remains the same, she only slowly opens her eyes, and the look in her eyes is completely different from the kind expression on her face, with a courage and sharpness that ordinary people can't reach.

"Get on your knees." There is no sound of temperature, and the order is given directly.

Emperor Qiyun frowned, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt in place.

The Queen Mother asked without looking back: "Do you know what you are doing wrong?" ”

Emperor Qiyun was no longer his usual gentle and elegant, and said expressionlessly: "Erchen doesn't know. ”

"You don't know? What's wrong with you in the past few years? Not only did he not want to take revenge, but he also fought against the mourners everywhere. If the mourning family does not find you today, will you decide never to return to this palace and leave the mourning family with a corpse? The Queen Mother got up and turned to look at him, her face suddenly stern, and her eyes were angry.

Emperor Qiyun's gaze crossed her, looking at the Buddha statue in front of him, his eyes were motionless, and he couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation on his face, "The queen mother doesn't need to be angry, in fact, what the queen mother cares about is not whether the son returns to the palace or not." My son, I don't want to go against my mother, it's just that my mother asked me to come to this world and gave me the mission of hatred, but whether or not to repay those hatreds is of no practical significance to me. Because, it can't change my fate. And my destiny was set for me before I was born into this world. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes changed slightly, and the hand that played with the Buddha beads paused, and the beads she held tightly with her fingers scattered a distant and dark light, like the eyes of a destined fate in the dark, wantonly encompassing the world. She slowly paced a few steps in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "There is no point in revenge, so what is meaningful?" Aren't you very sick that they have endured so many years of suffering, and you can't carry out your grand ambition to rule the world? ”

Emperor Qiyun's eyes slowly drooped, looking at the cold and hard ground under his knees, reflecting the earthy gray color in his eyes. If hatred can change fate, then he can work hard to hate for what he wants. However, the saddest thing in life is not knowing what is the meaning of coming to this world? Is it just to wait for death to come? He once had great ambitions, sat on the country and leveled the world, and shared it with his lover, but unfortunately, his life was not up to anyone.

He raised his eyes, and the Queen Mother's stern gaze shot straight into his eyes, and he didn't avoid it at all, and suddenly stood up.

The queen sank and reprimanded: "The mourning family didn't let you get up." ”

Emperor Qiyun glanced at her lightly, turned a deaf ear to her reprimand, and just said casually: "The son is tired and wants to go back to the palace to rest, so he won't disturb the queen mother's self-cultivation." After he finished speaking, he turned around, the Queen Mother looked cold behind him, staring at his back, Emperor Qiyun suddenly turned around again, met her eyes, regained his usual gentleness, and said with a smile: "According to Erchen, the Queen Mother is a Buddha...... If you don't read it, if you want to feel at ease, the Buddha can't help you. Oh, and also, the child must be sent to my dormitory within three days after the mother's death, otherwise it will ......"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, what?" ”

Emperor Qiyun said: "Otherwise, don't blame me, don't miss the relationship between mother and son." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly laughed, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not cover the anger and hatred in her eyes, she raised her chin, "How do you disregard your feelings?" The mourners wanted to hear it. ”

Emperor Qiyun's eyes were deep, and he said, "The queen mother seems to have forgotten that I am the emperor of this country." ”

"Emperor?" The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Didn't the emperor already die in the war in Wucheng?" The mourning family and the Manchu civil and military were mourned for the emperor together. ”

Emperor Qiyun smiled slightly, "So what?" Now that I stand up, can anyone still disown me as an emperor? Even if some ministers don't admit it, but I don't believe it, all ministers can deny me, the only blood of the royal family, with a clear conscience, and are willing to submit to the lust of a woman. ”

"You!" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, obviously angry but trying her best to hold back, she said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Qi'er, you just have this point?!" For the sake of a woman, regardless of filial piety, she has repeatedly rebelled against her family, do you remember, how hard the queen mother worked to help you sit in this position? You repay the mourners like this? ”

Emperor Qiyun's brows moved slightly, "Is it for me or for yourself that the queen mother helped me sit on this throne?" I think the queen mother knows best. Erchen thinks that in the past 20 years, I have done enough for my mother. ”

"You," the Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "the mourning family gave birth to you in this world......"

Emperor Qiyun's eyes sank, and he said abruptly: "I would rather the queen mother never give birth to me in this world!" How cold his voice was, how cold it was, and his gray eyes were heavy with pain and sorrow.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, twisted her eyebrows to look at him, Emperor Qiyun took a deep breath, tried to calm the fluctuations in his chest, and said in a cold tone: "The queen mother rests, and the sons and daughters will retire." After that, he turned around and left, without looking at the Queen Mother again.

The Queen Mother looked at his departing back casting a lonely shadow in the dim sunlight of late autumn, and a complex emotion appeared in her eyes.

In this world, there is nothing lacking, but there is no lack of hate.

She put away the beads in her hand, turned around and walked into the back room.

It was a room where it was impossible to see where the wall was and where the window was, and a candle in the room was covered by a thick lampshade, and the meager candlelight could only faintly illuminate the difference between the chair and the floor.

Inside the room, there is a table on the side wall, and on the table is a game of chess pieces, in which black and white pieces are intertwined into a complex situation.
