Chapter 285: Concubine Niangniang
Guifei Niangniang, He Xingyao originally had no interest in this woman, but after listening to what she said just now, she felt that she wanted to meet this person no matter what, and in her intuition, she thought that this concubine Niangniang and herself must have something to do with her.
After thinking of this, she patted Xue Wanting on the shoulder and said: "I also thought about what you said, these two people who grew up together must know each other very well, and I believe that since the concubine Niangniang, since she has been able to clear up the grievances of General Han Rin, it means that she has deep feelings for the partner who grew up together." ”
When she said this, Xue Wanting nodded very approvingly.
However, she was actually a little worried in her heart, after all, back then, she followed the general to fight in the south and the north, and even whenever she went to the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, she would also be by her side, the general and the concubine were not all ruthless, otherwise why were they so caring for each other?
It's just that this matter can't be said on the surface after all, not to mention that as an old person next to the general, the emperor has always been very taboo about the concubine Niangniang mentioning the general, so Xue Wanting is very worried that this will affect the concubine Niangniang, and because of this, she always can't let go of it in her heart.
However, He Xingyao has always been an extremely smart master, and when she first met the emperor, she had actually guessed some reasons, so she always felt a little awkward in her heart, and even had a strange feeling.
That night, He Xingyao had no sleep all night.
Until early in the morning, the bell suddenly shook violently, and kept shouting: "Master, master, master, you must protect your own safety, otherwise the general's grievances will not be cleared up." ”
“?”
What's so lively about this bell?
He Xingyao was speechless, but she didn't say it directly, just sat on the chair and said to Yinling: "What are you talking about, little thing?" Since I want to track down this strange thing, I naturally want to ensure my own safety, and I need you to remind me? What a joke! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Yin Ling shook very disdainfully and said, "Hmph, do you think the emperor is really good?" Han Rin was the biggest hero by his side back then, but he ended up being a rabbit and a dead dog, just rushing to this point, do you think he really did nothing wrong back then? Even if there is a hidden secret, but Han Rin is innocent after all, he has nothing wrong, but after all, he will still be labeled as a rebel, and then he will be unjustly killed. ”
He Xingyao felt that the aura of this bell was really a little too heavy, but it was a sound bell similar to a conch, and the essence was still a very peculiar, freshly shaped bell, how could it seem surrounded by black gas, and it would say such a thing?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and He Xingyao now began to wonder about this sound bell, what was it all about?
Although she is not in the real world now, it does not mean that she does not have the ability she once had, not to mention that she followed Cangluoxi to broaden her horizons, He Xingyao is now even in this fictional world, and that ability is first-class.
Thinking of this, she suddenly closed her eyes and tried to feel the magic of the surroundings.
In the haze, she saw this place, surrounded by black gas, and even emitted a foul smell, and the people here looked unhealthy, their faces were ugly, their lips were purple, there was no blood at all, and everyone looked like they were malnourished, and they looked like they were skinny and bones.
The more she looked at it, the more distressed she felt, so she casually asked in the void, "Why?" Can anyone tell me why it's all black here? ”
As soon as the words fell, a very old voice suddenly sounded.
"Girl, the general of the year was cold, and after his death, the soul of injustice did not disperse for a long time, and his grievances were surging, so this place became a city of injustice, and people had no way to live here, so they could only go away, and those who couldn't go were mixed with the sky-black gas here, although they seemed to be alive on the surface, but in fact, people had already died, and the corpses had long since turned into a pile of white bones, and these people were just puppets, puppets manipulated by those grievances, not real human beings."
Hearing such an answer, although He Xingyao had already expected it in her heart, she still didn't want to believe it after all, how could all this be so sudden? Could it be that the emperor, as well as that Xue Wanting and the concubine Niangniang, and even the many people in the palace, are not real human beings? It's just terrible, isn't it?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, He Xingyao still had no way to accept all this after all, and soon opened his eyes.
However, it was at this time that the sound bell suddenly asked, "What's wrong?" What are your results? General Han Rin was my former master, and he would often use me to give orders back then, and this sky-high resentment was the empire's own doing, and they were not worthy of such a good general, let alone the general's loyalty to defend their home and country. ”
He Xingyao felt that this matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated, although she didn't know what it would become, but when she was meditating, the resentment she saw was still a little difficult to deal with.
However, although she didn't know what the situation was for the time being, she still planned to go to the concubine Niangniang to ask for clarification, otherwise she would always feel unhappy.
So, she changed into the official uniform that she had prepared a long time ago, and then went to the palace of the concubine with Xue Wanting.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the palace, a maid saw that it was a foreign minister, so she said arrogantly: "Hey, seeing that you are not from this palace, why are you so ignorant?" This is the mother's dormitory, not a place for your deliberations. ”
Xue Wanting felt that what this maid said was too ugly, so she retorted: "Hmph, our son just wants to ask his mother about something, why are you so cautious?" ”
This question made the little maid speechless for a while, He Xingyao looked very calm, and even said: "Wanting, let me say!" ”
coughed lightly twice before she continued: "This girl, please help inform your mother, just say that there is a He Gongzi who wants to see her." ”
Before they could finish speaking, another maid appeared in front of them with a woman dressed in a noble manner.
The woman smiled and said, "Xiaohong, why have you been arguing outside here for a long time?" Aren't you tired of panicking? ”
The maid named Xiaohong shook her head, and then said: "Niangniang, this He Gongzi wants to see you, saying that he has something to say, but in our palace, no foreign minister can enter, and it is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
The concubine Niangniang looked at Xiaohong's contradictory appearance, so she waved her hand directly and said, "It's okay, just come out of the palace." ”
In fact, she had already inquired about one thing many days ago, that is, the emperor's champion, a courtier who can enter the emperor's eyes, and seems to be a good person, so she actually wanted to meet this legendary emperor's very important champion, and now this person took the initiative to find here, which can be regarded as a different kind of fate!
Thinking like this, she lost her mind for a moment.
He Xingyao felt that her opportunity had come, and Xue Wanting also directly tugged at her sleeve and whispered to her that the gorgeously dressed woman in front of her was the concubine Niangniang.
As soon as he knew such information, He Xingyao hurriedly saluted and said: "Weichen see the concubine Niangniang!" ”
"Flat!"
"Xie Niangniang!"
With just one sentence, the two of them looked up at each other, almost for ten thousand years.
The concubine never thought that in her lifetime, she would be able to see General Han Rin, is this the will of heaven in the dark?
Her body was almost trembling, and with an incredible look in her eyes, she looked at the person in front of her.
After a long time, he said in a particularly shocked tone: "You, you, cold, cold, is it really you?" ”
He Xingyao saw that her state seemed to be a little demonic, so he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, it's not General Han Rin below, it's He Qi below." ”
The concubine really didn't want to hear it, so she retorted directly: "No, no, you're just Hanrin, you and her look almost identical, we grew up together, I can't be wrong." ”
What he said made He Xingyao unable to refute it for a while, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xue Wanting hurriedly said: "Niangniang, he is not General Han Rin at all, General Han has already passed away, you, you should come out!" ”
"Nonsense, this palace is a concubine, you are just a little palace maid, you dare to say these words, why, Han Rin is gone, as her original subordinate, have you forgotten your roots?"
These words are particularly harsh, but it is precisely because of these words that He Xingyao and Xue Wanting both know that this noble concubine has not fallen so deeply, but she has never been able to get out.
Both of them thought like this, and for a while they felt a little pity for this noble concubine.
However, He Xingyao did not forget what she wanted to do because of this, that is, in the current situation, it was still a little unsafe to say something important outside here, after all, she was a little hesitant in her heart, and she didn't know whether to ask or not.
Fortunately, the concubine Niangniang quickly relieved the embarrassment and problems in his heart.
I saw that Lin Guifei suddenly took her hand and ran in the direction of an abandoned palace in front of her, the more she ran forward, the more desolate it became, it could be seen that the palace should be in disrepair, and there would often be no one wandering around, it seemed to be safe.
He Xingyao was puzzled, and when the two of them arrived at the abandoned palace, the concubine Niangniang immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Hanrin, do you know? Back then, I was always reluctant to let go of the fate and friendship between me and you, but you finally let me enter the palace and became His Majesty's concubine, how ridiculous is this! ”
He Xingyao felt that this concubine couldn't play for the time being, but it was okay, after all, in this way, he could learn a lot of unknown things.
So, she said, "Why did I give up back then? ”
As soon as she finished saying this, the tears of the concubine suddenly flowed out, and she covered her heart and said: "Sure enough, like you, who is selfless and has a downish attitude towards everything, there is no affection in my heart, I was reluctant to you and my family back then, but you listened to those people fooled, thinking that I enjoyed the glory and wealth when I entered the palace, but you didn't know at all that it buried the happiness of my life, so that I will always live in regret and regret." ”
He Xingyao was a little unbearable for a while, there were two dogs barking nearby, fortunately, it was not in this abandoned palace, there should be someone who had a dog.
Her thoughts drifted off into the distance, but were quickly pulled back.
"Hanrin, I thought I had the deepest friendship with you, and I thought you regarded me as equally important, but I lost a lot, you have the world and the people in your heart, and thousands of people, but you don't have me after all."
What's going on?
Why does this sound more and more wrong?
Could it be that this noble concubine was reluctant to enter the palace back then?
After thinking of this, she felt that this noble concubine, who had been in the palace for so many years, looked like she was well-dressed and well-fed, but in fact she was not happy at all.
Sometimes a person can give up the original dream and happy life in his heart for the sake of power and desire, but listening to the words just now, He Xingyao knows that the concubine Niangniang is still a poor and lonely person in this skill after all.
It turns out that no matter what time it is, the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, some people like to live in the palace, but some people hate the palace the most, and hate the kind of intrigue and deceit the most.
She asked cautiously, "Niangniang, then do you know why General Han Rin left this world?" ”
Hearing this, the concubine sighed and said helplessly: "How can I not know? She was too simple and easy to deceive back then, she seemed to have great achievements, but in fact, she had already been suspicious of His Majesty, even if I had the heart to help her say good things, but who would dare to let a general with greater prestige than the emperor live? Aren't you afraid of plotting to usurp the throne? ”
He Xingyao originally guessed these things, but when he heard these words with his own ears, he felt desolate and lonely in his heart after all, maybe this is fate, but human life is not child's play, not to mention that a general with great military achievements should not be wronged to death.
So, she said: "In fact, if the general had relieved his military power early and returned to his hometown, he might have been able to escape this catastrophe." ”
As soon as these words fell, the concubine suddenly sarcastically said: "Escape this catastrophe? You don't know how dangerous the situation was back then, if it weren't for the palace and the queen mother's intercession, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a whole corpse, and now you, the champion of the dynasty, are working hard for Your Majesty, and one day in the future, you will also be a great master, and he will not hesitate to get rid of you, just like getting rid of the Han Rin general, who had a high prestige in the court back then. ”
"Do you know why he asked you to investigate General Hanrin's affairs but didn't tell you anything?"
"Why?"
"That's a ghost in his heart, he doesn't dare to tell you, I once said that as long as Han Rin lives in this world, I will get along with him happily every day, but he still broke his promise after all, Han Rin died, and I don't have the heart to deal with him."
For a moment, He Xingyao felt that if Han Rin hadn't died, maybe everything would have been different, but there was no what ifs in this world after all.
