CHAPTER XXVI

Meng Le stopped and sighed, as if I was tired, and a palace maid stepped forward and pushed me into the palace gate.

The Jinluan hall is magnificent, four big pillars stand in the hall like the heavenly pillars, and the pillars are carved with different forms of golden dragons coiled on the pillars, or play with beads, or soar clouds. In the center of the hall, there is a dragon chair that is bent down by another hundred officials and submitted by the world.

And there was a person sitting on that dragon chair, and the moment I saw him, I finally understood what Meng Le said.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting there, his eyes were cold, as if nothing in the world could enter his eyes, and nothing could move him.

I looked at him in amazement, as if I had seen him all my life, but as if I had never seen him before.

It's obviously him but it's not like him, how should I call him, should I call him Ah Huan, or Lian Gongzi, or .....................

The blue-clothed eunuch standing on the side shook off the dust and said sharply, "Bold Ye, you dare to look directly at Your Majesty, and you don't want to salute the emperor quickly!" ”

"The Emperor's ................"

These two words were in my mouth back and forth, and for the first time, I felt that these two words were so close to me, close to me I couldn't believe it, and close to my heart was cold.

I forced the wheelchair to fall on the temple with a "bang", although the movement was a little bigger, but finally got out of the wheelchair, I supported the smooth marble floor, knelt on the ground, and bowed heavily.

"The people's daughter Ye Hao has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live."

I don't know how long it took, the person sitting in the hall finally spoke, the voice was so familiar and so unfamiliar, I listened to my whole body numb, as if I had fallen into the abyss of ice.

He said, "Sinner Ye, you are guilty! ”

Someone came over and put me back in a wheelchair, and I smiled bitterly and said, "The folk girl is sick and can't stand, and sitting on the hall is out of shape, so it's better to kneel." ”

He was silent, and many eunuchs carried a few square boxes into the hall, and the blue-clothed eunuch standing beside him raised his voice and said, "Sinner Ye, these are the evidence of the usurpation of the Ye family's eyes, do you admit it or not, if you admit it, draw it quickly, and Dali Temple will be convicted." ”

Someone pushed me in a wheelchair and took me to the front of the box, a box is the poetry books of the previous dynasty, a box is the spirit card of the first emperor of Lexu, the private seal of the prince of the previous dynasty, and a box is a small coat sewn by the mother for the newborn Ye Fan, but the gown is embroidered with a small sunset flower, and the national flower of the previous dynasty is the sunset.

There is also a box of rough stones from my collection and unfinished hosta rings, and in the corner of the box there are some small things that I treasure.

The eunuch asked again, "Sinner Ye, you are already the head of the Ye family, if you want to think about the family, an honest confession may be able to get a light sentence for the clan, if you are obsessed, you will be sentenced heavily!" ”

I took out a brocade box from the last box, and in the box was the Tuxun that Yu Yi gave me, I looked up at him, and said with a smile, "I confess my guilt, I don't know if I can blow this Tuxun again before painting." ”

He was silent, I looked at him and said, "Fortunately, this Xun is not damaged, I wonder if anyone is willing to play the piano with me and fulfill my last wish." ”

I don't know how long it took, he finally spoke, "I heard that the Ye family master has a Fengyue lover, named Lian Gongzi, he has extraordinary piano skills, and the Ye family master has played a song together, which is a natural song, if this is the wish of the Ye family master, then I will make an order to announce that he will enter the palace and play with you." ”

His eyes were as cold as frost, and the power of the world came invisibly.

On the cold and cold hall, I heard my bitter laughter wafting in the empty hall, like a thin wool in the wind, "The people are already sinners, so why bother others to be pure." What's more, I don't know him at all, and wherever I can say that he is a lover of the wind and moon, it's all nonsense from the world. ”

Someone came forward with a stack of indictments, six pages in all, all of which were felonies, and even a gold medal for avoiding death was not enough.

I signed, drew the charge, looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, the sinner has a reluctant request, I hope the emperor can agree." ”

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the charge I had drawn, and without saying a word, the blue-clothed eunuch beside him raised his orchid fingers and raised his eyebrows and said, "Bold!" Who are you? actually put forward conditions with the emperor! ”

Although the eunuch's words were a little harsh, but in the end, I smiled bitterly, "It's not a condition, it's a request." ”

"The sinner is the master of the Ye family, and the secret passage is my Ye family's secret, and the maids and daughters in the house don't know it, and it's the same if they kill it or not. Instead of rivers of blood flowing and unjust souls crying out of the city, it is better to let them live, and all the sins will be borne by the villain alone. It's killing, it's punishment, the villain admits it, and only asks the emperor to show mercy, remembering that it is not easy for the people to let go of the people and have a way back. Remembering that my father once escorted the first emperor, he did his best for the royal family, leaving me a trace of lifeline in Yefu, even if it was ....... Even if my mother and younger brother are fostered in the ancient temple of Hanmiao, and their lives are over, they can ..........."

He was condescending, his eyebrows were cold, his slender fingers gently tapped the auspicious cloud lines on the dragon chair, I don't know how long it took, he finally opened his mouth, but the voice was particularly gloomy, and the whole hall was like a winter day when he opened his mouth.

I only heard him say coldly, "You want to die." ”

didn't wait for me to speak, only to hear him say again, "The Ye family's criminals are monstrous, you want to die, it's too cheap." ”

My heart sank suddenly, the matter of the Wen family suddenly hit my heart, Mrs. Wen was imprisoned, the whole Wen family was erased from the family tree, and Yu Shi became an official prostitute................

I knelt with both hands, bowed my head and said, "What the emperor said is very true, if I can spare the lives of my mother and younger brother, the sinner is willing to enter the lowly status and relieve the anger in the emperor's heart." ”

Once a woman's name enters the untouchable, she will be committed to spending her life with the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, even if she encounters amnesty, her name cannot be erased in the pariah, if she dies of a serious illness, it is nothing, if it is because she is unwilling to be humiliated, a white silk is freed, then the family behind her will be buried at the same time as an order.

Back then, Yushi stooped down to survive in the Goolan alley, if it weren't for the concern behind her, how could she survive with her heart, she could have done it back then, and I can do it today.

I bowed my head and knelt with my hands in my hands for a long time, but I felt that the cold gaze of Gao Sit suddenly became piercing, and even the air around me was cold, making people shiver.

He opened his mouth coldly, his voice was like Xuan Bing, and every word was like gritting his teeth and jumping out, "The sinner Ye is willing to fall, the sage is humiliated, his virtue is damaged, and his eyes are not kingly." Such a woman......... Penalties! Heavy penalties! ”

“...................”

I looked up suddenly, only to see a cold light in his eyes, and the indignation between his eyebrows overflowing.

"Xuan Zhen's will, all the property under the name of the Ye family will be handed over to the state treasury, the adult men of the Ye family will enlist in the army, go to the border to guard the border, and the adult women will enter the Buddhist gate and be clean, and the young, old, and infirm will be kept in the family to watch."

Great, although the Ye family was divided, it didn't hurt my life, and before I could thank him, I just heard him sneer and said, "As for you Ye sinner, I will punish you to enter the palace as a slave, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for the rest of your life. ”

When the Ye family's palm seal has not yet been handed over, I, the head of the Ye family, can contain the entire Ye clan for a day if I stay in the palace. Similarly, as long as the descendants of the Ye family live, they will also restrain my every move.

is worthy of being the Son of Heaven, and his IQ is soaring!

I knelt down with my hands and said, "Sinner Ye..... Long live my emperor, long live long live! ”

Before I finished thanking him, I only heard an indignant cold snort, and then there was the sound of throwing my sleeves and leaving, and when I looked up, I saw his back gradually moving away, I watched him leave more than once, and every time I saw that back, I looked forward to the next meeting.

For the first time, I hope that this turn will be a permanent parting, and that we will never see each other..................

I pushed the wheels of the wheel slowly out of the hall, this wheelchair is a newly made wheel jerky tight, but two or three steps away I feel that my arm is sore, it took a lot of effort to only ten meters away, there is a small palace maid standing under the pillar outside the palace gate, the age is only fourteen or fifteen, there is no childishness on the body, replaced by indifference around the body.

She stood quietly under the pillar, the shadow hanging over her, looking like a human sculpture from afar, until my wheelchair "creak!" It was only when she was beside her that she moved.

She walked behind me and pushed me forward, through the splendid palace pavilions, through the delicate pavilions and water pavilions, all the way in, the more desolate and dilapidated the more she went, and finally stopped in front of a rusty palace gate, in front of which the faded plaque mentioned three large thin characters.

Qiu Lingxuan.

The maid stepped forward and pushed the door, and the piercing sound of the door turning broke the long silence here, "Wow! I saw a flock of blackbirds spread their wings and rush into the sky. I looked up and saw that it was a group of crows with sharp beaks and sharp claws, I don't know if it was the food in the palace, the crows were all round and rolling, and they spread their wings like the childishness of eagles.

When the door opened, I saw a figure rushing out of it, the figure was as strange as a ghost, in such a gloomy and desolate place, a person ran out coldly, even if I was as steady as Mount Tai, I couldn't help but be shocked.

What's more, he is still an unkempt and crying and laughing crazy person, and he is not afraid that it is not the truth.

"Woooooooooo......oo Miss ......"

I saw the man run up to me and kneel down violently, holding my wheelchair and crying with grief, the voice was so familiar that I recognized her in an instant.

"Pick green! How are you here! ”

Entering Qiu Lingxuan, I found that in comparison, the rusty palace gate seems to be relatively strong, most of the walls in the house have collapsed, the wall skin has fallen off into piles, under the wall is as dazzling as winter snow, the walls are broken everywhere, and even the wooden door that blocks the wind is only half of it is left standing crookedly in the corner, and the other half does not know where to go.

The square table in the room was missing a leg, Cai Qing struggled to move the table to the corner, leaning on the corner of the wall and standing reluctantly, Cai Qing patrolled around, and said with a strong smile, "Miss, this place is actually similar to our firewood room..... No! It's more spacious than the firewood room, and it's much more vibrant! ”

Yes! In this way, the wind is ventilated on all sides, the grass grows on the wall, and the rats become nests, how can there be anything that is not spacious and vibrant!

There is a main hall and two side halls in Qiu Ling Xuan, I and Cai Qing chose a very small side hall to clean up, although it is small and broken, but there is a complete door, the thief can't say, it's good to block the wind.

It seems that this place has been desolate and abandoned for a long time, the weeds in the yard are constant, the wall is on the wall, the branches can be seen everywhere bird nests, I pushed the wheelchair around the dead tree, fortunately it is not very high, according to the ability to climb the tree is not a problem, and the game has fallen in the future.

"Wow!" A black cloud fell on the wall, and I looked up to see that the frightened crows had returned, and their fat bodies stood on the branches, flapping their wings restlessly, and their long sharp beaks smacking their lips at me, as if I had praised its fatness in my heart and been praised by it.

It stands to reason that birds are very afraid of people, and they flee when they hear the slightest hint of wind and grass, but the crows here are different, squinting at you with gloomy eyes, as if he is the master here, and you are the one who should escape.

"Miss!"

Cai Qing ran over with a small cloth bag, she held the cloth bag in front of me, and said with a smile, "Miss, I found a peach tree in the backyard, there are peaches on it, although it looks bad, but the taste should not be bad, I washed one, you can taste it." ”

After finishing the words, I stuffed a thin and green crooked head peach to me, and I took a small bite in her expectant gaze, and the sourness rolled down the tip of my tongue, and I only felt that my limbs were suddenly tight, and I trembled, and there was no hope of living in an instant.

Cai Qing looked at me with a smile, and her harmless eyes were full of expectation, "Miss, is it delicious?" Do you want me to wash you a few more? ”

"Ahem!" I said in a hoarse voice, "No...... I can't eat anything right now! ”

Cai Qing asked, "Why?" ”

I clutched my sore heart and said with difficulty, "I don't know why.... I'm so sad all of a sudden..........."

When night fell, Cai Qing closed the moldy wooden door with great difficulty, and she was pleasantly surprised to find a small cluster of fungus growing at the door, and she happily ran back to discuss with me whether to mix the fungus cold, or cook the soup.

The room was dark and gloomy, only an oil lamp was left alone at hand, dispelling the darkness of no more than a foot, leaning on the table in the corner of the wall and placing a worn-out food box, which was just a meal in the afternoon, the palace maid said that Qiu Lingxuan's meal was delivered every two days, if you don't plan to eat, just be hungry.

The food box contained five or six pieces of dim sum that had changed its flavor and two pieces of steamed buns the size of a palm but harder than a stone, Cai Qing comforted me and said that these foods were very hungry, and I said that I would not feel too hungry for two or four days, and I wanted to tell her that I didn't need to save like this, just pick one of the peaches in the backyard, and we would take a bite when we were hungry, so that we didn't want to eat all day, and I didn't want to eat any more than the snacks in the food box.

These words were swallowed by me as soon as they were about to come out, for fear that she would be sad and throw away all the small bags of peaches, although it was difficult to swallow, but in this Qiu Lingxuan, who knows what will happen in the future, it is better to keep it.

Cai Qing gave me the only thin futon, and he hugged his arms and shrunk in the corner of the bed and fell asleep, there was a long and crisp sound of bangzi in the quiet palace, I spread the futon horizontally and groped for Cai Qing to cover, fortunately we were not very fat, and the futon was covered horizontally to just one and a half.

I didn't sleep peacefully that night, and the fire in my dream enveloped the entire Ye Mansion, the fire "crackled" and devoured, the hoarse cries for help, the desperate cries, and the baby cry that tore through the sky.

There were two people standing at the door of the Ye Mansion, one with a phoenix crown and a dragon robe, and the two stood in front of the raging fire, talking and laughing.

I was floating in the air and couldn't put out the fire, so I had no choice but to shout for help, and the two seemed to hear my voice and turned around, and in the firelight I saw the two unbelievable faces, and I fell into the fire with an arrow in my chest, and I struggled with my hands in the cold wind.

"Bang!" I woke up from a dream.

There was a sound of spinning in place under the bed, and I seemed to knock something off the bed, and Cai Qing beside me was sleepy, and after muttering a sigh, he breathed comfortably again, and fell into a deep sleep.
