Chapter 627: Come on!
Chapter 627: Come on!
In fact, it is not so dark in the Taiji Palace, the air dead wind lamps on both sides of the brick road will not be extinguished until dawn, and the eunuchs on duty at night will run around the Taiji Palace every half an hour. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the power of eunuchs was not very heavy, and no one dared to violate Li Yuan's decree that internal servants were not allowed to interfere in politics. But in the palace, the power of the chief of the chamberlain is no longer small. For those who made mistakes, they could even die with a cane without asking for instructions.
Li Xian stood at the gate of the queen's dormitory, looking at the more than a dozen eunuchs in the distance who were trotting all the way to check the lights, thinking in his heart what kind of miserable background did these old eunuchs have, and they needed to cut that thing to exchange for food? He also remembered that there seemed to be no shortage of eunuch dictatorships in history, so he couldn't say anything to these eunuchs who should have been a little cold in their backgrounds.
Maybe it's because all the eunuchs in the film and television dramas in the previous life didn't have a good thing, and the most difficult opponent he encountered in this life was also a eunuch, so Li Xian subconsciously didn't have a good impression of this kind of existence at all, he has always been puzzled by one thing, since the emperor gave birth to eunuchs in order to prevent the harem concubines from cheating with others, is it not possible to have eunuchs in the palace without eunuchs? Could it be that there are many things that palace maids can't do, but can only be done by eunuchs?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder for a moment, and said in his heart that he was indeed a little evil.
The palace maids and eunuchs who served in the queen's bedroom were all newly replaced, and a few days ago, Li Yuan was angry and killed all of his more than 100 servants, chopped them into meat puree and fed them to the pigs, which shows that cutting off the future is actually not a wise choice. Who knows when a big disaster will come, because a little thing will become a meal for pigs and dogs?
As a man who has never lacked beautiful women around him, Li Xian can't imagine how painful it would be to be a eunuch.
Just thinking about these boring things, suddenly an exclamation came from the dormitory: "Where is he?" Let him in and see me! ”
There was a rush in the voice, followed by the sound of a teacup falling to the ground and shattering. The corners of Li Xian's mouth picked, and suddenly he had a feeling of déjà vu in this plot. It's just that I can't figure out why I feel this way when I think about it, and before I enter the door, I suddenly woke up to the fact that this kind of scene seems to be played badly in movies and TV series.
"Anzhi, you come in."
Li Yuan's voice came from the dormitory, a little tired.
Li Xian took a breath and told himself not to be impulsive. The past events that Lao Zhen told him can clearly form a picture in his mind when he thinks about it now. He was actually extremely uneasy in his heart, so he forced himself to divert his attention from observing the eunuchs just now. There have been many nights, and the past events told by Lao Zhen have turned into dreams and are clearly presented. It was so clear that although Li Xian had not experienced it, he could really feel distressed.
Don't be impulsive, don't make mistakes.
Li Xian gave himself an eight-word piece of advice, and then walked in slowly.
Perhaps in order to make the queen Dou rest better, the lights in the dormitory seemed very dim. The palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the room stood outside with their heads down, and a few bold peeks at him when Li Xian entered the door. The palace maid, who was still green, was obviously stunned for a moment when she saw Li Xian, and then lowered her head with a red face. Speaking of which, they are all the lowest-ranking people in this palace, if the queen is not so seriously ill that she may die at any time, in fact, it is a very good thing to serve the queen, and it will not be the turn of these newcomers to do anything.
You must know that the power of the harem is in the hands of the queen, and having the queen means that you are unscrupulous enough in a certain circle in the palace. But this queen of the Tang Dynasty is too special, and she has hardly gone out since she lived in this dormitory. I spend my days groggy all day, and most of the time I can't even tell who is who.
After entering the dormitory, Li Xian glanced at it, then waved his hand and said softly: "You all go out, it's okay to go farther, if you don't tell you not to come in......"
Several palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, and said in their hearts, who is this young and handsome man, how dare he give orders to the queen's people in the queen's bedroom? But seeing the man's kind smile, several palace maids nodded subconsciously. Suddenly remembered that the people who served the queen in the palace before were killed because they listened to words that should not be listened to, coupled with slackness and slackness, they immediately understood that Li Xian was kind, so they looked at Li Xian with some gratitude in their eyes.
The lights in the inner room had just been picked up to become brighter, and when Li Xian entered the door, he saw an old woman as thin as a dead wood lying in Li Yuan's arms, trying to get up.
Li Yuan looked at Li Xian, then at his wife and said softly, "He's here...... He is Anzhi. ”
"Come to me...... Come to me! ”
Dou said in an anxious and excited tone, raising his arm and beckoning.
……
……
Li Xian slowly walked to a position about two meters away from the side of the bed and stopped, looking at the half-human, half-ghost woman in front of him through the light. He didn't know what kind of state Dou was in before, just now Li Yuan said that her time was short, and she could see that she was indeed terminally ill by looking at her appearance. But what impressed Li Xian was that at this time, Dou looked a little delirious, and his eyes were a little scary.
"Ann...... Anzhi? ”
Dou's voice was hoarse, and there seemed to be a fear in his tone. She seemed to be afraid of something, but more strongly wanted something.
Your Majesty said...... Your name is Anzhi. ”
Dou Shi seemed to be about to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes, and after a few dry blinks, no tears flowed after all.
"When you left...... It's too late to give you a name. Your Majesty always says that you are too busy and too busy, and I only found out what your name is some time ago. Come here, come to me...... Let me take a good look at you. ”
Her voice was hoarse like pulling a bellows, and it was very awkward to listen to.
Li Xian didn't move forward, but bowed slightly and said, "I've seen the queen." ”
"Queen?"
Dou Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "You refuse to call me a mother...... I know that my mother was sorry for you that day, I begged your father, I cried and begged him, but he didn't keep you after all. Over the years, I have been begging the Buddha to bless you, and God will have mercy, so that I can see you again before I die...... That day, I pulled your father's sleeve and cried and begged him not to send you away, Wu Xueqi's slut's child was killed, you are my own flesh and blood, your father's sister-in-law, how can you deal with it the same as that slut's child? ”
Li Xian's face changed slightly, but he still didn't speak.
"Enough!"
Li Yuan's face became extremely ugly, he let go of the hand holding Dou Shi and said, "What are you doing with her after so long?" Isn't Anzhi appearing in front of you now? ”
He seemed to be in a bad mood, stood up and said to Li Xian: "Accompany your mother to talk well, everything happened back then is my fault and has nothing to do with your mother." She's almost blinded by crying when she thinks about you all these years, you shouldn't be so cold to her...... I still have state affairs to take care of, and when your mother sleeps, you will come to see me in the imperial study. ”
Li Xian nodded, and turned sideways slightly to get out of the way. Li Yuan looked at him, sighed and walked out slowly.
"Won't you come closer so I can see clearly?"
Dou pleaded.
Li Yuan, who walked to the door, paused, glanced back at Li Xian and said, "Even if you don't have any family affection in your heart, isn't it okay to think that she has reached such a point as a good deed?" I said that you can blame me for what happened, but you can't blame your mother. ”
"I see."
Li Xian nodded, and then took a few steps forward.
Li Yuan shook his head slowly and walked out.
"Someone, come on!"
Seeing Li Xian approaching him, Dou hurriedly shouted: "Turn on the lights, I want to take a closer look, I want to take a closer look!" ”
"The people are out, I'll come."
Li Xian whispered, then turned around and walked to the table and took the oil lamp and put it at the head of the bed, then he moved a chair and sat down next to the oil lamp. Looking at the woman with a face as haggard as dead wood, he wondered why his mood was so calm.
"There are two points of resemblance to your eldest brother, but the people of the world are three points similar to you."
Dou wanted to reach out and touch Li Xian's cheek, but before his hand stretched out, he trembled and retracted.
"Your Majesty said that you have suffered a lot over the years, and you have suffered a lot of sins, this is all my sin, it is not good for me, if I had insisted a little more, I can't say that your father would not have done such a cruel thing. I didn't expect to say goodbye that day, but I would see you again in 20 years. Can you tell me where you have been all these years? ”
Li Xian smiled, revealing his white teeth: "If the past experience is a happy event that can be shared with others, I will not be stingy to let others share my happiness." But there's no denying that my past isn't much more pleasant than ever. I started killing people at the age of six, and then I had the experience of repeating the boring thing of killing people and not being killed, and there was really nothing to say. ”
Li Xian looked at Dou Shi and said seriously: "If you really want to hear it, I won't say it." ”
These words were so abrupt that Dou was obviously a little overwhelmed. But she just thought that the resentment in Li Xian's heart was too deep, so she said softly: "It's all over, since you're back, I won't let you suffer anymore...... You tell me who bullied you, and I'll go and ask Your Majesty to kill them. ”
"There's no need for that...... I don't have a lot of things to do, and killing people happens to be one. ”
Li Xian brought the lights closer, as if he also wanted to see Dou's appearance clearly.
"You must have been beautiful when you were young."
He asked a disrespectful word, and Dou's rare face turned slightly red: "I have long forgotten what I looked like when I was young, but your brothers and sisters are all ......."
When she said this, she suddenly paused, and subconsciously leaned closer to Li Xian's face to look.
"What, it sounds familiar?"
Li Xian asked with a smile.
"Ahh
Dou suddenly screamed, and shrank back into the bed in fright like a ghost. Her face turned pale in an instant, and the horror in her eyes was so intense.
"You're not...... You're not ......."
She pointed to Li Xian's face and hurriedly said a few words, but the following words couldn't be said for a while. The grunting sound in his throat was obviously stuck in a mouthful of phlegm, and his face immediately turned blue. She struggled to reach out her hand, as if she wanted to beg Li Xian to save her. Li Xian just sighed slightly, and then slowly stepped back.
"I told myself not to be impulsive when I walked in, but I couldn't help it...... Lao Zhen said that I have a seven-point image, and looking at your reaction, I know if I want to come to seven points or say less. You were scared like this when you looked at me, the ghost in your heart is really powerful......"
He sighed slightly and said, "Li Yuan has always said that you were not wrong in the beginning, how could you not be wrong?" Before I walked in the door, I wondered, if you saw me clearly, would you be scared to death? ”
A few hurried sounds came out of Dou's throat, and he suddenly stopped, and his eyelids rolled and fell softly. Li Xian looked at her quietly with a smile, and after about three or five minutes, he stretched out his hand to probe her snort, and then nodded with satisfaction. He walked slowly to the door, took a breath, and shouted, "Come on!" The queen is gone! ”
