Past Lives --2
Peng Mo was thrown into exile in the cold palace, two days and nights, during which no one visited, she was extremely panicked in her heart, worried about the situation of the General's Mansion and Jinyan every moment, she couldn't rush out immediately, but she couldn't open the door locked from the outside, but in just two days, she felt that it was longer than ten years.
She had thought a lot about it in the past two days, and her mind had never been so thorough.
Under this thorough thinking, she seems to have figured out some things that she had never thought of before, but she didn't want to believe these things at all, because they were too cruel...
There was a sound of Suo Suo opening the door at the gate, Peng Mo was stunned, and then got up and ran to the door, and a bright yellow pierced her eyes through the crack in the door thick of her fingers.
Her eyes shone and her steps stopped.
Under her gaze, the mottled and old door was slowly pushed open, and standing outside the door was her husband, the current emperor of the Great Yong Kingdom: Jin Rui.
Peng Mo looked at him, his humble and gentle face was indifferent at this time, the corners of his lips were not as warm as spring, the imperial robe was added, and the majesty of the emperor was revealed.
Jin Rui also looked at her again, his face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was haggard, he was dressed in shabby single clothes, unkempt, like a beggar, but the beggar had such a beautiful appearance and these lovely eyes, and looked at his eyebrows slightly twisted.
After a moment, Peng Mo took the lead in retracting his gaze, slightly lowered his eyes to hide the affection and sadness that was about to be revealed, and asked softly, "Is the emperor here to tell me the result?"
Hearing this, Jin Rui withdrew his eyes without a trace of emotion, and walked into the cold palace, and none of the attendants behind him followed.
Du Bu came to the hall, he looked at the dilapidated and dirty room, and then turned to look at the person who followed with his head down, and said lightly: "Thinking about the relationship between husband and wife for many years, you will think about it here for the rest of your years." The tone was light with charity.
She wanted to ask, but she knew that the person in front of her was no longer the husband who would take care of her gently, she was cowardly but also stubborn, and she didn't bother to ask about the sourness in her heart or reveal the deep affection in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she spoke softly: "What is the result of the General's Mansion?"
Jin Rui looked at her, his eyes were full of hatred, he sneered lightly, and said coldly: "What's the matter?
Peng Mo raised his eyes to look at the strange and familiar person in front of him, and muttered his words: "Rely on intimidation?"
Unexpectedly, the general's mansion sacrificed his life for many years, and there were only these two words in his mouth?
"Come on... The result of the General's Mansion is not good!" In two days, the supreme imperial power is enough to destroy any huge family.
Thinking of this, her heart was instantly tightened, her face was as white as paper, her breathing was painful, she did not dare to look at him again, she walked to the only tattered stool in the room by herself, and sat down, she was no longer able to support this body.
Jin Rui was silent, looking at her like this, a cold and mocking smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
"What about him?" thought of the young child, her tears like beads of broken thread, and her low voice tinged with tremor and fear.
Looking at the tears on her face, Jin Rui frowned deeply, opened his eyes coldly, and said: "The prince is stubborn, disobedient to upbringing, and has been stripped of the title of prince, and now he has thought about it in the palace." β
Disobeying upbringing, taking away the title, thinking about it? Peng Mo tasted these words, and his hot beating heart completely cooled, like ice and iron.
Yes, the General's Mansion has been destroyed, how could she and Jinyan be left behind by him?
Thinking of this, she asked in a low voice, "When did the emperor kill our mother and son?"
"Anytime!" Jin Rui looked back at her side face, and the coldness in his eyes was a hint of pride.
Peng Mo listened, and his body, which was already extremely cold, couldn't help but shiver.
Since Jin Rui left that day, more than half a month has passed, and during this period, there will be a palace maid to deliver food, and no one will visit the rest of the time.
She dreamed of the family of the General's Mansion every night, dreamed of the smile of the prudent words, the laughter was still in her ears, she had not had time to experience the extravagant warmth in this dream, the scene suddenly changed, the warmth suddenly became a purgatory on earth, and she watched her family and children suffer all kinds of torture and bloody death.
Peng Mo looked up at the sky, and let tears flow all over his face.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening sounded, Peng Momuna looked at the gate, only to see the gate slowly open, and standing outside the door was Peng Hao, his third brother, who should be guarding the border pass!
Peng Hao wore a plain white regular robe, which made him less cold and harder than a military general, and more scholarly, but Peng Mo knew the meaning of this white robe.
Seeing his sister who grew up in the palm of his hand become like this, Peng Hao's whole heart was torn and painful, and his fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't want his sister to see him like this, so he just endured it.
The brother and sister looked at each other for a long time, and before they could say anything, they shed tears.
Peng Hao suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, retracted his gaze first, and commanded sideways: "Clean up." β
Several eunuchs who followed behind him hurriedly entered the courtyard when they heard the order, and set up tables, chairs, refreshments and other things.
Peng Hao walked over with a smile and grabbed his sister's cold hand and sat down with her.
Peng Mo looked at Peng Hao's thin side face like a blade, and said in a low voice: "The third brother has lost weight." He choked up.
Peng Hao pulled a smile, reached out to brush her hair scattered on her cheeks, and slowed down his voice: "Bian Guan is bitter, so I lost weight." β
Peng Mo cried when she heard this, she guarded Dayong for Jin Rui in the general's mansion, but in the end she got this result.
Peng Hao's eyes were sour, he raised his hand to wipe away her tears, smiled and took out a paper bag from his arms, put it on the table, and opened it layer by layer.
Inside is Peng Mowei's favorite mung bean cake when he left the cabinet, he often bought it for her before he joined the army, and he didn't have the opportunity to buy it for her for a long time after fighting abroad, today... It's the last time.
"You've always loved to eat, taste it and see if it tastes the same. β
Peng Mo smiled when he heard this, pinched a piece and ate it, the taste was still the same as before, the sweetness melted in his mouth, and the fading tears filled his eyelashes again.
Seeing that she finished eating together, Peng Hao handed over the cold tea in his hand, and Peng Mo took it with a smile and drank it.
Seeing that she had drunk, Peng Hao nodded slightly and laughed as well.
The eunuch who followed the line quietly looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but wonder, why was it different from what was expected?
Jin Rui's close attendant came to announce, Peng Hao couldn't stay longer, before leaving, he glanced at Peng Mo deeply, but didn't say anything, just smiled and turned to leave.
The plain white robe disappeared from sight, and Peng Mo's tears flew out instantly, she knew that this turn was life and death!
Her only, last loved one will be gone today!
Peng Hao was taken to the Qinzheng Hall by the eunuch, and in the hall sat the brother-in-law who was today's son, who was humble and close to him in the past, and next to him should have been the position of the queen, but at this time there was another woman: Ruyu.
The big and small maids who were in the General's Mansion back then are now different, he glanced at the two of them coldly, and the fists in his sleeves slowly tightened.
"Don't you kneel when you see the emperor?" Ruyu glared at Peng Hao with beautiful eyes and shouted.
Peng Hao snorted coldly, his eyes swept towards Ruyu, his eyes were heavy and full of anger, the murderous aura that came out of the army could not be underestimated, how could she stand it as a woman?
Ruyu faced the bloodthirsty eyes, and he shrank in fright, and a chill ran down his spine.
Jin Rui's eyes became gloomy when he looked at it, but for a moment he smiled again, patted her hand comfortingly with Ruyu, and said with a leisurely smile: "Don't be afraid, concubine, the general is the murderer." β
What's the use of being murderous? It's not that you want to die in this palace? Defeat in your own hands!
Peng Hao knew the result of entering the palace today, and looked at Jin Rui again: "I have something to say to the emperor alone." β
When Peng Hao heard the news of the General's Mansion at the border pass, he knew that Jin Rui would not spare his life, and the reason why his sister and nephew in the palace were still alive was the unrecovered military power in his hands.
How can his younger sister, who grew up in the palm of his hand, die? If he dies, how should he explain to his dead father, mother, and brother? But if after his death, his nephew's life will still have a chance to change, but his sister will definitely die! After thinking about it, he thought of a way!
After many years at the border, Peng Hao knew a lot of strange things, he found a Miao Jiang man overnight, and got a kind of Gu poison from him, Zimu Gu!
The mother Gu had already been put in Peng Mo's tea, coaxing her to drink it, and the child Gu... , he looked at the bright yellow dragon robe!
The emperor smiled softly when he listened, his calm smile was full of mockery and pride, and he said softly for a moment: "Concubine Ai goes down first." β
Ruyu has been in the General's Mansion for many years, and knows that among the three brothers, Peng Hao's temperament is the most unruly and the most ruthless, and now he is forced to a dead end. She was a little worried about the emperor's safety. "Your Majesty, what should you do if you are in danger, the concubines are not at ease. β
The emperor smiled softly and coldly, and when he looked at Peng Hao again, he brought a threat: "The queen is still in the cold palace, what will General Peng do?"
Ruyu thought about it, and also smiled proudly, yes, Peng Mo is the eternal weakness of the General's Mansion, grab her in the palm of your hand, Peng Hao will never dare to act rashly!
Peng Hao and Peng Mo are the closest in age, so the relationship between brother and sister is also the best, and Peng Hao's love for his sister is never adulterated.
Thinking of this, she smiled coquettishly: "The emperor still thinks thoroughly." After saying that, he was blessed with grace and walked outside the hall.
When she passed by Peng Hao's side, she paused slightly, squinted at him and pursed her lips and smiled: "This palace is going to meet the queen in the cold palace for a while, so I will leave first." The voice is soft, and the words are playful, and it makes people feel cold all over the body.
