When Jiang Yao announced that he had summoned me, I didn't take a sedan chair, and walked over step by step, with determination and confidence that I had never had.

In the hall where there is no one, the thousands of words that are surging in my heart come to my mouth, but I don't know where to start, "Jiang Xian, did you kill it?" I thought about it for a long time, and I only asked this question.

"Yes." Jiang Yao replied.

"My father, did you kill you?" I then asked again, but he was silent, not speaking, and there was no sparkle in his eyes.

"You answer me." I muttered softly, not knowing whether I was talking to Jiang Yao or to myself.

Jiang Yao was still silent, his silence was based on my sadness and my anger: "You answer me! ”

"It's not."

"Isn't it?" I repeated this answer over and over again, as if the devil was stunned, "Then how could he die?" Then why did our Rong clan end up where they are today? What went wrong? ”

"I'll grant you a request." Jiang Yao's eyes only glanced at me hurriedly, and then lowered them again.

"Ask the emperor to give his concubine a death."

After a long silence, the silent sound of dropping a needle could be infinitely amplified into a roar, Jiang Yao was motionless, he did not agree, and he did not object.

"Ask the emperor to give his concubine a death."

I repeated it again, and the aftermath echoed in the hall for a long time.

"Accurate!" He only said one word.

My heart was slightly relieved, and I barely had a smile: "The concubine is waiting in the palace." ”

I saluted respectfully and withdrew from the empty hall, and every step I walked so easily, without joy or sorrow, that I knew that it was all coming to an end.

Jiang Yao sat on it, and as I was leaving, he told a story, and he said:

There was a prince whose mother was the princess of southern Xinjiang, who was ordered to marry the emperor of the current dynasty and became a concubine. The concubine was kind-hearted, she said that her people were all kind and simple people, and marrying the emperor was to hope that the two states would be good for eternity, and that there would be fewer killings and benefits for the people. But the concubine's mother clan was soon wiped out, and the person who destroyed her mother clan was crowned the prince of the country because of this exploit, and the concubine was also forced to death by the powerful prince. The prince's father is the emperor, but this emperor can't even protect his own woman, and the young prince almost watched his mother die in front of his eyes.

Later, the prince was handed over to the queen to raise, and the queen did not like the son of this once favored concubine, and she also had a son, who was the crown prince of the dynasty. The prince was soft by nature and did not like political affairs, and the emperor was afraid that the world would be uneasy, so he drafted an edict to crown the son of the concubine as the emperor. The emperor died, the whole country was mourned, the emperor's bones were not cold, and the queen was in pain, and she wanted her child to be the emperor. So he trapped the prince in the side hall and lit a fire, where almost no one passed, and the poor emperor's spirit flag had just covered the red wall, and his son was about to come to see him.

But someone found out that it was a little girl, the prince had seen her outside the palace, she was extremely beautiful, the prince liked her very much, and later learned that the girl was the daughter of the prince of the kingdom and the daughter of his enemy. But now it was the enemy's daughter who could save him, and she smashed open the window to let the people inside, and the prince refused to come out, so the girl jumped in, and the girl said, "How much can you have in your life?" If you survive, you are the future emperor, and you will not be controlled by others everywhere. ”

The girl said, "I saved you this time, you owe me my life, if I am in trouble one day, you can also save me, okay?" ”

Others say that this girl was sick a few years ago and burned out her brain, but at this time, her words are reasonable and orderly, and she is obviously a person who has to lie dormant to protect herself.

The prince said, "If I can escape from this fire, I will marry you." "Give her freedom, give her security, give her the joy of a lifetime.

Jiang Yao said, suddenly paused, and his voice seemed to float out of his heart: "You hate me, I don't blame you"

The door of the temple opened, and in an instant the light shone brightly, and I stepped out of the temple without looking back.

I returned to the palace in silence, and I asked Changyun to dress me in a costume that I didn't usually like, beaded jade, silk and satin. While they were grooming me, there was still some joy in my heart, and no one knew that I was going to die, because I was also very happy.

When my clothes were tidied up, I looked at myself in the mirror, and the faint scar on my face was covered by rouge, which looked a little like my mother.

When I waited for the will to come, I mixed up the grievances of two people, and I couldn't find anything to regret. The grievances and grievances in this world are so complicated that I don't know who to hate for a while.

I remembered what Jiang Yao said:

"Do you have a heart?"

"Have you ever loved me?"

"You hate me, I don't blame you."

I read these words over and over again, and suddenly wanted to ask Jiang Yao: Have you ever loved me? If you answered yes. Then I will also answer, "I loved you." ”

I walked on the palace road, and I couldn't wait to say the last word to Jiang Yao, and even the corners of my mouth were smiling. At this moment, I am not the lady of Rongfu, not the lord of Changle, not the queen, I am just myself.

But the road in the palace is too long, I have only walked half of my life, and the remaining half is Wang Yin, followed by Jiang Yao's father-in-law, holding a glass of wine and a holy decree.

"Will I ever see him again?" I looked at the father-in-law.

"I think it's better to be gone." Wang Yin smiled slightly, picked up the holy decree and handed it to me, "Niangniang, take a look at it yourself." ”

"I don't need to read what I ask for." I stretched out my hand, picked up the glass of wine, and said to Wang Yin, "Let's make a bet, how about it?" ”

"What does the queen want to bet on?" Wang Yin was unflustered and looked at me calmly.

"Do you think I can finish this palace road after drinking this glass of wine?"

"The concubine doesn't know, but the queen can give it a try."

I drank it all, put the wine glass on the tray safely, Wang Yin got out of the way, and saluted respectfully: "Congratulations to the queen." ”

It was a long road, and I wondered if I would be able to finish it.
