Chapter 235: You and Me
Xue Qixi stood on top of the city tower and confronted Guo Guifei.
He should also hate Guo Nianyun, but ...... But he had obviously decided that he would only live for revenge in this life, and even suffered palace punishment, but he ...... But he also let a woman, a woman who has no results at all, and even saying it is a capital crime to live in her heart!
If it weren't for Nianyun, he wouldn't have been painfully entangled in his heart for more than ten years.
Nian Yun slowly raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at him, "You have deceived me for twenty-three years......"
She looked at him like this, and it seemed to him that there were only two of them in heaven and earth at this time, and he was finally no longer her slave. He never deceived her, in the past twenty-three years, he was the real Xue Qixi, if it weren't for his special feelings for her, he wouldn't have the strength to live these twenty-three years.
No, he lied to her too, the last time, maybe the only time. He let Li Yun go and did the only thing he could do for the Xu family and Hui Niang. However, Li Yun would no longer pose any threat to the throne, because when the Shence Army rescued him from the fire in Chenjia Village, he was already delirious and had lost his memory.
Apologetic punishment in public is just a pretense, and supporting the second prince to ascend the throne is also just a pretense. In fact, all he wanted was one less Li Yun on the royal jade, which was the only peace he could give him.
"Nianyun, I'm ......" he called out her name for the first time, and although he had called it countless times in his heart in the past twenty-three years, he still felt a pain in his throat at this time. If you don't say those words, you won't have a chance in this life.
"From the beginning, it was wrong, it was wrong for twenty-three years, and in the end it can only be wrong. Nianyun, in the past twenty-three years, has never deceived you. ”
That smile was once deeply engraved in his heart, becoming the scenery in his dreams, and also becoming the pain in his bones.
Listening to his name coming out of his mouth, somehow, my heart was inexplicably sad. For more than twenty years, his silent, sad expression had become her habit, and he had brought a jar of wine to comfort her frustrated.
Her tears unexpectedly slid down.
He suddenly smiled with some relief, "The wind is strong, don't lose your eyes." ”
She held the long sword in her hand tighter, tears flowing down in the wind, dripping into the lotus embroidered on the hem of her clothes, and she couldn't see the traces. She had already lost her eyes, otherwise, how could she have ambushed such a bitter and hateful person around her, and she was unconscious for more than twenty years?
Qixi took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed the blade of the sword, and pressed the tip of the sword against his left chest, blood dripping from his hand, as if he didn't realize it.
"If there is an afterlife, I really hope to meet you who are not married at a carefree age."
He thrust the sword in her hand into his chest, watching the blood splatter onto her robes, as if everything was expected, and everyone got their place. He looked at her like this, and then, slowly, he fell, his ochre-colored shirt black with blood.
Nianyun, do you know, in fact, it is much harder to live than to die.
Perhaps, I owe her in my previous life, so in this life, I will have to repay it with a lifetime of broken bones. But in this life, I owe you. Nianyun, I have to pay you back in the next life.
It's good to die at your hands.
In this world, there is a kind of love that can transcend all resentment, joy, infatuation, and sorrow.
However, there is also a kind of kindness that needs to be repaid in a lifetime.
I only have one life, and I have inherited a favor and loved another person.
I felt like I heard the song my mother sang when I was a child.
Reflecting the red mountains, the dream of green plums, a round of crescent moon shines in the dream.
The cooking smoke is thick, the carmine is red, the rice basket picks up the small bridge arch, and the old pu fan is shadowy.
Carmine, the small bridge is empty, and the bright moon is separated by several times.
Brother, you can't help it.
Red tears gathered, and the sedan chair swayed across the east of Banqiao.
His body fell from the high castle tower, and his dark cloak, like a black kite with a broken string, landed under the city wall, and the red blood bloomed in the snow into a brilliant blood-colored flower.
I don't know who in the crowd below got up, and suddenly the familiar sound of bowing sounded like a tide, "The noble concubine Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The noble concubine Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! The noble concubine Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
But at this moment, her vision was so cold and blurry. The twilight of the empire finally died down in the twilight. Qixi, even you are gone, you all leave me one by one, you are lost in your dreams forever, leaving me alone to face the sober reality!
The rebellion was put down, Guo Jun and Princess Taihe walked up to the city tower and helped the concubine back to Penglai Palace. Along the way, the concubine's expression looked a little sad, and Guo Yan didn't say much.
When they arrived at the Penglai Palace, fennel pothos and others came up, and there were already many braziers in the hall, and everyone arranged food and drink while carrying some strong smiles, as if they wanted to appease the concubine.
Nian Yun looked at Guo Yan slowly, his eyes sharpened, "Third brother, tell me, how is Your Majesty?" ”
Guo Yan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pressed his hands on her shoulders, "Nianyun, calm down, don't be in a hurry......"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Third brother, what's wrong with Your Majesty, Your Majesty ...... him"
Everyone's faces seemed to be a little ugly.
She grabbed Guo Yan's arm with her backhand, raised her head, and looked sad, "Third brother, don't hide it from me, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty he...... Isn't it ......"
The word "death" was so cruel that she choked up and couldn't continue. How so? Her Majesty said that as long as she waited for him here, he would be back!
If he doesn't want to say it, she'll find out eventually. Guo Yan's Adam's apple moved, and he spoke heavily, "Nianyun, at this time, no matter what, you can't mess around, in the Zichen Palace...... Heng'er is being discussed...... Enthronement. ”
The tears she had been holding back flowed out, her fingers grabbed Guo Yan's arm tightly, and her bones turned white, "Third brother, I don't believe it, where is he, I want to see him, let me meet him!" ”
Guo Yan let her grasp his arm hurt, but he couldn't comfort her. Yuzhu and Chonglou were already crying, and Fennel and Pothos were still holding on, trying to comfort her.
"Your Majesty is here...... In Hanyuan Palace, the third brother will accompany you. ”
Guo Yan spit out a sentence with difficulty, then helped her stand up, steadily supported her body, and walked out of Penglai Palace.
The snow began to fall slowly, such a cold wind and snow, such a night, as many harsh winters as before. Sister, Li Yi, Ning'er, many people in her life who once left a deep imprint left their mark in the winter, and now Your Majesty is too.
The cold wind swished into her neck, and the white fox fur she wore on her body was still given to her by His Majesty back then. Now she only felt cold, her whole heart was cold because of despair, and her hands were frighteningly cold.
She didn't walk fast along the way, and this sadness and despair made her feel weak in her hands and feet, and Guo Yan had to support her by the side.
From Penglai Hall to Hanyuan Palace, she didn't know how long she had walked, the snow seemed to have a light blue under the dim light, and she felt as if she was going to go all the way to the earth in this ice blue world. But this land is desolate, but there is no other companion.
When she saw the brightly lit Hanyuan Palace, she suddenly didn't know where the strength came from, so she shook off Guo Yan's hand and ran up the white marble stairs. There was still a lot of snow and ice on the stone steps, and she had barely climbed a section before she fell to the ground.
Guo Yan was so anxious that she called her repeatedly, "Nianyun, Nianyun!" ”
She ignored it, nor should she, and despite the muddy water on her body and the wounds on her palms on the ground, she got up and continued to run. ran to the door of the main hall, and saw the dark ebony coffin parked in the main hall at a glance, and then stopped.
"Your Majesty!"
She ran towards the coffin, but her feet tripped on the high threshold of Hanyuan Palace, and fell to the ground again, she didn't try to get up, she lay on the ground and cried.
The snow-white fox fur was stained with mud, the amateur hands that had been maintained for many years were stained with blood, the hairpin on her head fell to the ground, and her sideburns were messy, she may have never been so embarrassed in her life. But she didn't care about it anymore, and at this moment, the pain of the chest tear quickly spread to all the limbs, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
"Your Majesty, where are you, Your Majesty, they are all cheating on concubines, aren't they, you are also cheating on concubines, you came back suddenly to surprise your concubines, right......"
"Your Majesty, the concubine is waiting for you in the Daming Palace, the concubine has guarded the Daming Palace, you come back to see if it's okay, Your Majesty ......"
"Chun, you won't leave Nianyun, Chun, you said you want to grow old together......"
One by one, it was heartbreaking. Everyone in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads and wipe away their tears, and there was a low cry.
Guo Yan couldn't stand it, Rao was his dignified seven-foot man, and he was also annoyed by her heavy sadness. He knelt beside Nianyun and reached out to support her, "Nianyun, Your Majesty has died, you accept this fact......"
He no longer cares about the identity of the foreign minister, nor does he care about the concubine's maiden name and can't be called casually, this woman is just his sister at this time, and she has been hit too hard in the past few days, and she has almost collapsed.
Nian Yun seemed to be weak, but his strength was surprisingly strong at this time, and he pushed Guo Yan away, "No, no, I don't believe it, you are all lying to me, where are you hiding Your Majesty!" ”
She grabbed Guo Yan's arm again and shook it vigorously, "You say, third brother, you say!" ”
"Nian Yun ......"
"No, I don't believe it, this palace wants to see it with my own eyes!" She suddenly got up from the ground and rushed straight towards the ebony coffin.
The coffin was not covered, the corpse was just covered with a layer of white cloth, Nian Yun rushed to the side of the coffin, and pulled the white cloth on his head with trembling hands.
In the coffin was a charred corpse, with almost no visible hair and beard, and even its face was pitch black, and it could only barely be seen that it was a human figure, and its facial features could not be seen at all.
Nian Yun only glanced at it, called out "Your Majesty" heartbreakingly, and fainted.
"Nianyun!"
Guo Yan rushed up, caught her body, wrapped her in her big coat, hugged her horizontally, and walked towards Penglai Hall in the night snow.
Nianyun, Nianyun, you and me.
