Chapter 25: Spring and Autumn Imprisonment
"What's the matter with me? Who am I messing with? ”
Concubine Zhuang saw the emperor yelling at her, and she felt very uncomfortable. Although she was displeased in her heart, she didn't dare to make a sound, but just glared at Wanjun viciously.
"Your Majesty, it's not about the left guard, it's all my fault, it's only because I'm too weak that I will attract the protection of the left guard."
Wanjun's lips, which were already white and bleeding, were now bloodless, as terrifying as white alkali stained on the dry riverbed.
"Wanjun, you still speak for him, he slighted you just now, you can bear it, I can't bear it. Do you know that you are my person, even if you are light, you are from me. ”
The emperor stood up and walked to Wanjun to look at him, then walked to Chunqiu and looked at him, and shouted, "Let's go." ”
Chunqiu was taken away, and Wanjun lay on the ground weakly. He really wanted to run over and drag him down, but he couldn't do anything, except for watching Spring and Autumn being taken away in a daze, he couldn't do anything.
Chunqiu turned to look at Wanjun, with reluctance, sadness, self-blame, and compassion in his eyes. He blames himself for his incompetence, even if he doesn't dare to tell the truth in front of his beloved. He blamed himself for his cowardice even more, and the person who robbed Wanjun with him was in front of him, but he could only bow down and dare not squeak.
Xiyan came over to help Wanjun, all he could do was help him up.
"I said sister, what's the use of crying, it must be heartbreaking for your beloved to be taken away in front of you, right? If I were to be I, I would not crawl here and cry, but find a way to rescue him. ”
Concubine Zhuang made a good move this time, which seems to be an inconspicuous sentence, but this word is of great significance to Wanjun. He felt that Concubine Zhuang was right, and instead of sitting still, it was better to take action. In fact, Concubine Zhuang probably didn't understand what she meant by saying this, but it aroused the fighting spirit in Wanjun's heart.
"Sister, I don't have anything to help you, you can also see, I can't even say a word in front of the emperor. But you, the weight in the emperor's heart is not light! ”
"Sister, this palace will leave first, you can accept the tonic!"
After Concubine Zhuang finished speaking, she turned around and left. Her heart is simply happy, and she can be regarded as tasting the sweetness. It's just that the emperor still hasn't punished Du Wanjun, it seems that this Du Wanjun is really not a good child.
"Wanjun, I asked you to go out to let you help Brother Zuo, but he picked you up in front of the emperor, which is equivalent to him admitting his relationship with you in front of the emperor!"
Xiyan was very anxious, and his mouth began to be sharp, he didn't know why he was so anxious and anxious, maybe it was because he called Wanjun to come out. But he didn't mean to hurt Brother Zuo, he just wanted to help him.
"Xiyan, don't worry about it first, I want to find a way. The emperor is obviously coming for me, and it seems that I can only go to the emperor to plead. ”
Wanjun was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and she had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.
"No, I have to act quickly, I'm afraid that Brother Zuo is in danger. Xiyan, you ask the Imperial Doctor to prescribe some fierce medicine for me, so that I can get better tonight! ”
Wanjun opened his eyes and looked at Xiyan, his eyes were full of tears, and his eyes looked heart-wrenching.
"Wanjun, this won't work!"
Xiyan shook his head and shouted no, he didn't want to risk letting Wanjun, if he didn't do it, he would lose his life.
"No, I won't say yes."
Wanjun got up from the bed and knelt in front of Xiyan: "Xiyan, I beg you, if I don't go, Brother Zuo will die!" ”
Wanjun's tears flowed down his dry face, he knew that Chunqiu loved him when he drank Wanjun, but he couldn't watch Chunqiu die.
"Wanjun, what are you doing here?"
Xi Yan hurriedly came over to help Wanjun: "Hey! Okay, I promise you. ”
Xi Yan hugged Wanjun, they felt the status of love in a person's heart for the first time, and they felt what it was like to love someone. To love someone is to live for him or die for him.
......
The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return. Wanjun held the mood of seeing death as home, put on red clothes, painted red makeup, and walked out of the door with a deep breath.
The moonlight sprinkled all over the Forbidden City, but there was no warmth, and the cold also invaded Wanjun's spine.
Wanjun under the red-clothed tent was particularly moving, but he couldn't laugh. He misses his left brother and his sweetheart.
"Your Majesty, Du Wanjun is here!"
The eunuch whispered in the emperor's ear.
"What?"
The emperor sat up from the bed excitedly, but he could not be happy when he thought of the events of the day.
"Nope."
He pulled the quilt over his body, as if he was angry with Wanjun.
"Your Majesty, the old slave heard that Du Wanjun was dressed in red tonight, and she had a bright taste. If the emperor doesn't see him, it will be a big loss! ”
The old eunuch deliberately sold Guan Zi, wanting to whet the emperor's appetite.
"What? Is he beautiful today? Still wearing red? ”
The emperor jumped down from the bed, pressed his hand on the old eunuch's shoulder and asked.
"The emperor wants to know so much, why don't you call him in? He's on his knees at the doorway right now! ”
"So, let him in, right?"
The emperor was still relieved and relented.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Get up!"
The emperor's tone was very casual, and it seemed to have a little bit of a sense of not wanting to deal with her.
"If I don't get up, if the emperor is still angry with me, then I can't afford to kneel!"
Wanjun raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and he knelt in front of the emperor like this. It seems to have a hint of threat, but there is also a hint of coquettishness.
"Then tell me why I'm angry?"
The emperor wanted to help him up, but he was still unwilling, and he still didn't want to forgive him so easily. His tone was not ridicule, nor questioning, but the pain of love and pity.
"Your Majesty, I know what you think I have with the left guard, but it's not what you see, let alone what you think. The person I love is you, and it hasn't changed from beginning to end. I am dressed in red today to prove my love for you. ”
Every word Wanjun said was so heart-wrenching and unforgettable. His heart was given to Zuo Chunqiu, and the person was given to the emperor. Every stain that came out of his mouth was cold, as warm as his expression was.
"Wanjun, do you love me?"
The emperor squatted down excitedly, his hands trembling and his eyes were hazy with tears.
"Yes, I know that we can't justifiably act as husband and wife, so I wear red clothes, hoping to be with the emperor for the rest of my life."
Wanjun's tears slipped down her face, and the moonlight shone coldly.
"Wanjun! I forgive you, Wanjun! ”
The emperor hugged Wanjun, he finally got Wanjun's heart, he always thought that he didn't love him, so he tried all kinds of ways to please him. Now that he has spoken his heart, his efforts have been rewarded.
......
"Factory father, Zuo Chunqiu has been locked up by the emperor!"
"Really?"
"Yes, it is said that it was because the emperor found out about his affair with Du Wanjun, and he hugged him in front of the emperor."
"Oh!"
The cold moonlight shone on the face of Gonggong Wei, who was turning blue light, no one could know what his heart was like, his face would always be like this, without a trace of change, even the tone of his speech remained the same all year round. No one can know his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and what's even more terrifying is that no one can know what he will do in the next second.
"Now that Zuo Xianhui and his henchmen are sleeping in the court, this is a good opportunity!"
"What do you mean?"
"Release the news you have on weekdays, and in addition, to control the public opinion of the ministers, we will wipe him out and his henchmen."
Wei Gong couldn't see his cruelty under his fair and quiet face, and if he wanted General Zuo to die, he had to die. As long as he died, Gonggong Wei would remove the last stumbling block in this palace.
"The factory is wise, the factory is wise!"
"Let's go down, the sooner the better, we must get this matter tighter, don't miss this opportunity!"
is a wise father-in-law Wei, but what is the good opportunity he is talking about? It's really hard to figure out, but it shouldn't be wrong to follow her.
Father-in-law Wei lay on his rosewood couch, his eyes closed again. The sandalwood in the incense burner is illusory and ethereal, hazy and warm.
......
"Have you seen Brother Zuo?"
After patrolling the city gate for a day, Luo Yique didn't see Zuo Chunqiu when it was time to take over. Ann said that he should have arrived at this wait, but it has been so long today, and he still hasn't seen her.
"Nope." "Nope."
Jin Yiwei said that he didn't see where Brother Zuo went.
"Then this is strange, Brother Zuo has always been very punctual, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"
Yique suddenly began to panic, and he began to jump up and down near the city gate to find it.
"A magpie!"
"Who?"
A faint voice appeared in Yique's ears, and he subconsciously put a hand on the handle of the knife. His expression also became vigilant, looking around for the source of this brother's voice.
"Yique, it's me, this way."
The voice reappeared, and as soon as he heard it tell him to pass, he followed the sound and looked for it. This man must have been someone he knew, otherwise how could he have called his name?
Not far away, there was a figure in the corner of the wall that was sneaky, and its head was still poking out.
As he got closer and closer, Yique's whole body relaxed, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Xiyan, why are you? How did you end up here? ”
A magpie happily ran over.
"Shhhh
Xiyan pulled Yique to the corner: "You are quieter!" ”
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
"Something happened to Big Brother Zuo?"
Xiyan whispered.
"Something's wrong? What's going on? ”
Xi Yan covered Yique's mouth, and he looked around: "Brother Zuo is locked up, it's a matter of the daytime today, what do you say about it now?" ”
"Where's the young master? Nothing happened to him, did he? ”
"There is no Wanjun to find the emperor."
