"Then I will do what my father wants, and there is no need to ask me." The sovereign's attention was only on those folds.

"But—" The officer hesitated.

"But what? Don't spit it out. The monarch said with some displeasure.

The internal official held a holy decree in both hands and presented it to the monarch: "The slave dare not say it. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, opened the edict and hurriedly glanced at it, then closed it, and said expressionlessly: "Since it is the edict of the first emperor, it is natural to follow it." ”

The internal official sighed, hurriedly retreated, and went to carry out the edict of the first emperor.

Soon after, the internal official returned to the main hall again: "Back to Your Majesty, Gonggong Li has already read out the edict of the first emperor, and the things have also been sent to Concubine Rougui." ”

"Got it, stand down."

"Yes!"

The inner official gently withdrew from the main hall, not daring to disturb it any longer, and secretly sighed that the king also had times when he couldn't help himself, although His Majesty behaved as if nothing happened, he didn't feel good at this time.

The emperor raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows, he found this will when he was sorting out his father's body, and it had been quietly hidden, why was it still mentioned today. Concubine Rougui, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I can only stand you.

Distraught, when he looked at the fold again, it was like a ghost drawing, Murong Jing put the imperial pen on the pen stand, walked out of the main hall, and walked towards the palace gate.

The internal officials guarding the door of the main hall hurriedly followed, but only heard the emperor say: "Wang Jian, you don't have to follow. ”

"The minions obey." The royal officials have been serving Murong Jing by his side since he was very young, and he can be said to be the emperor's confidant and the roundworm in the emperor's stomach.

Xi Xi followed Murong Jing out of Zichen Palace, Murong Jing walked very fast, fortunately she could fly in her dreams and could keep up. The scene in front of him gradually became familiar, and it turned out that Murong Jing was going to Yuxiu Palace.

Yuxiu Palace is quite deserted, and there are no palace people to serve her, which is very different from the treatment of Xi Xi's imaginary favorite concubine, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment?

Murong Jing came to the Frost Pavilion, that is, the courtyard where the woman in red lived, and slowed down his pace slightly, he walked very lightly and quietly. Walking behind the beaded curtain, he stopped.

Xi Xi walked around the bead curtain without a trace, she was like a projection, and did not cause the bead curtain to fluctuate.

At this time, it was the last time she dreamed of the picture, a plain woman holding a wine glass, and her face was full of worry.

She looked at the reflection in the middle of the room, and countless sorrows surged up from the bottom of her heart: "Wang Lang, the first time I drank wine was with you, this last glass of wine, and let me respect you first." With that, she placed the glass opposite her, took it in front of her, and drank it down, then picked up another glass, picked up the white flask, and filled it.

Only then did Xi Xi realize that there were two wine jugs and two wine glasses on the table. The glass she had picked up was jasper-colored, and she thought it was pouring wine from the jasper-colored flask. This time she was holding a white wine glass and pouring wine from a white flask.

Murong Jing clenched his fists, but he didn't want to touch the bead curtain, and the bead curtain made a sound, alarming the people inside.

The woman put down the wine glass and stood up and walked out, saluting through the beaded curtain: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." This is an ominous place, please leave quickly, don't be contaminated. ”

"Rou'er......" he lost his voice, his words full of thoughts.

The emperor did not call out, and the woman maintained a saluting posture: "Your Majesty, as the widow of the first emperor, the concubine must abide by the will of the first emperor, Your Majesty does not need to worry about the concubine's disobedience, please go back." ”

Xi Xi understood, it turned out that the woman in red was the Rougui concubine mentioned in the mouth of the royal official just now, and she had an unusual relationship with the emperor in this way.

Murong Jing opened the bead curtain, walked to the table and sat down: "Don't worry, I'll have a drink with you." ”

Concubine Rougui got up and returned to her seat and sat down, filled the jasper-colored wine glass, put it in front of Murong Jing, and raised the white wine glass: "Your Majesty, please-"

Seeing Murong Jing take the jasper-colored wine glass and drink it all, Concubine Rougui smiled, a trace of tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, moved the white wine glass to her lips, closed her eyes, and said silently: "Wang Lang, let's go goodbye, there will be no day to see each other in the future, take care!" ”

"Rou'er!" Murong Jing grabbed her hand, the wine glass tilted, and the wine spilled on the ground, emitting a puff of smoke.

Concubine Rougui raised her eyes to look at him, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the will of the first emperor: Concubine Rou - martyrdom - burial - Your Majesty is going to resist the decree?" ”

Murong Jing's breathing became short: "The will of the first emperor, you know it, I know, I destroyed it, and no one knows about it." ”

"Gonggong Li is the confidant of the first emperor......" Concubine Rougui reminded.

Murong Jing said coldly: "Then let him accompany the first emperor!" ”

"Your Majesty, never!" She said urgently.

His eyes were full of affection: "Rou'er, you have suffered too much for me......"

She lowered her eyes: "With Your Majesty's words, the concubine has no regrets." ”

"I complain, I regret!" Murong Jing grabbed her wrist, "I am now on the throne, as long as I take time and stabilize the court, I can double the compensation for you, and promise you a lifetime of glory, how can you just leave?" ”

"I Glory?" Concubine Rougui couldn't help laughing, "As the favorite concubine of the first emperor, I was detained as a demon girl of the country, and I have already enjoyed enough glory." ”

"What about me?" Murong Jing held her hands in the palms of his hands, "You don't want Ronghua, don't you even want me?" ”

"There are impermeable walls in the world, Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne now, and the princes are eyeing each other, don't give people the truth because of the concubine. Before the concubine leaves, I can see Your Majesty again, I can hear Your Majesty's heartfelt words, the concubine dies without regrets, I only wish Your Majesty all the best. "Her eyes were full of tears, and I felt pity.

Murong Jing didn't have a dull pain in his heart: "Rou'er, if I can't even protect my beloved woman, what kind of emperor can I be?" ”

The clouds and smoke drifted by, and Xi Xi came to a strange place, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and a carriage was slowly coming. This is a dream within a dream, there will be no inconsequential things, Xi Xi looked around, and saw that there was nothing else special, so he flew into the carriage.

In the car sat the woman in red, that is, the concubine Rougui, but at this time she was dressed in a lake blue dress, dressed as a girl, smiling brightly, and was curiously looking at the scenery on the side of the road.

"Miss, after this mountain, it is the master's courtyard, we can stay for a few days and rest before we go."

The woman smiled and said, "It's okay to stay for one night, I want to see my father and mother." ”

"Miss," said the little maid coquettishly, "we have been on the road for eight days, and the slave and maid feel that they are about to fall apart, so let's rest for a few more days." Besides, the old man's letter said that he wanted Miss to arrive in the capital at the end of May, and Miss you will set off before the end of March, even if you walk slowly, you can arrive at the end of April. ”

The young lady moved her sore arm, she was really tired from the rush for several days, and said with a smile: "Then let's rest for three days." ”

"Thank you, Miss, Miss, you are the best!" The little girl said happily.

"Okay, you girl talks a lot. Hurry up and get to the annex early, so you can rest early. ”

The little maid opened the curtain and poked out her little head: "Sixth son, did you hear it, the young lady said to go to the other courtyard quickly!" ”

The sixth son who was driving replied: "I heard it, Miss Yunzhu, you helped Miss to sit tight!" With that, he waved his whip high, and the carriage galloped away, so jolting that the young lady inside hurriedly held on to the window.

Yunzhu suddenly scolded: "Slow down, slow down!" I told you to run faster, but I didn't tell you to play with your life, what if I fell Miss? Hey, you sixth son, how can you say that you just pick a child in two sentences and don't stop? ”

The young lady breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Sixth son, but what happened?" ”

"Miss Hui, there's a person in front of you."

"What's the matter with someone up ahead?" Yunzhu said dissatisfied.

The young lady was gentle, and asked, "Who is it?" But need help? ”

Liuzi replied honestly: "Miss, that person is lying in the middle of the road, I don't know if he is dead or alive." Wait until the minions and the thunderbolt move him aside before you leave. ”

"Wait!" The young lady stopped, "Yunzhu, help me get out of the car!" ”

"Miss......" Yunzhu wanted to stop her, but when she saw Miss glaring at her, she obediently helped Miss out of the car.

The guard who was sitting in the back of the car and called Tianlei was already waiting in front of the car, and when the young lady got out of the car, he followed closely behind her.

The young lady came to the man lying in the middle of the road, looked at him and asked, "Tianlei, see if he is dead or alive." ”

Tianlei stepped forward to probe the man's breath, and after careful inspection, he returned: "Miss Hui, this person still has breath." There were two holes in his feet, and he was afraid that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. ”

"But there is still salvation?"

"The subordinates have antidote pills and gold sore medicines, but there is no way to judge whether they can be symptomatic."

"Let's save it first."

"Yes! Please also ask the lady to recuse himself. ”

The young lady turned her back to the man. Tianlei rolled up the man's trouser legs, cut the wound with a dagger, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and then sprinkled gold sore medicine, helped him bandage it, and fed him an antidote pill before replying: "Miss, his subordinates have already treated his wounds, what should I do next?" ”

The young lady looked around, this barren mountain and wilderness, if she threw him on the side of the road, she was afraid that she would become food for jackals, tigers and leopards at night, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "Take him with you." ”

"No way!" Yunzhu was the first to stop, "How can lonely men and widows be in the same room, this will ruin the reputation of the young lady!" ”

The young lady explained: "I have a clear conscience to save people to the end. Besides, in this barren mountain and wilderness, there is no one to live, as long as we don't say it, who knows? ”

"But Miss......" Yunzhu still wanted to stop it.

The young lady interrupted her: "Okay, take him with you, there is not much way to get to the other courtyard." ”

Seeing that the young lady had made up her mind, after Yunzhu helped the young lady into the carriage, Tianlei also carried the person into the carriage.

There was no word all the way, and after more than an hour, a group of people arrived at the courtyard. The steward of the annex had already received a letter from the master, instructing the young lady to pass by to rest in the near future, and had made preparations early.

After sleeping in the open for many days, they can finally rest, and everyone sleeps soundly.

The next day, Yunzhu waited until Miss woke up before sending clean water to wash, and only after Miss finished dressing up did she smile: "Miss, that person woke up yesterday and was waiting outside the courtyard to see Miss and thank Miss!" ”

"Oh? How long has he been waiting? ”

"It's not a long time, about half an hour."

"You girl, why didn't you wake me up sooner? He still has injuries on his body, how can he be allowed to stand outside for so long! ”

"The slave just wants to see if he is sincere, but the young lady is desperate not to save him by his own name, what's wrong with letting him stand for a while?" Yunzhu was not convinced.

"You're really getting more and more presumptuous, why don't you invite him in!"

"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Yunzhu ran out quickly.

Soon, the newly washed man stood in front of the young lady and arched his hand: "I have seen Miss Chu in Xia Wang Jing!" ”
