CHAPTER XLII

In the spring and summer of the sixth year of Baojia, the three sons of the Xu family began to show their edge, showed their style, went out to fight for more than a year, and recovered the three cities, and became famous for a while.

Even the once glorious Zai Zhi sighed to himself, the Xu family made a comeback, and regained a place in the court with the strength accumulated over the years.

After two months, the once shocking imperial examination fraud case was overturned, and the evidence was conclusive, forcing Zai Zhi and his party to Liangshan, completely defeating him, and returning the former Hanlin scholar Lord Yan to innocence.

"!"

Momiji cheered and trotted into the Spring Palace, telling Qin Se about the things in the front hall one by one.

"Niangniang, Zai Zhi and his party were beheaded all over the house, and they will be executed at noon in three days!"

"Really?"

Qin Se, who was chanting Buddha, raised his eyes in surprise to look at the red leaves who came in a hurry, and quickly got up, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true, what the great eunuch next to the emperor said, the edict that has just been drafted, has been sent to promulgate the edict!"

Momiji was a little excited to say it, and he couldn't make it clear.

"That's... What about Hallym Bachelors? What about Yanfu? ”

Qin asked in a trembling voice.

The corners of Hongye's mouth couldn't help but rise, "The big eunuch said, the grievances have been washed away, and the Lord Hanlin has been wronged!" ”

"Wronged?"

Qin Se's body trembled slightly, but the corners of her mouth rose up, and her brows were lowered, and tears the size of beans rolled down.

Hongye was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" That's a good thing! Why are you crying? ”

Qin Se smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "This palace is happy, this is happy to cry... All in vain ... All in vain..."

has been sleeping in the same bed for many years, how can she not see through the thoughts of the person next to the pillow, even if she takes the child in her belly, it just makes him wary of Zaizhi, but as long as he is vigilant, the imperial power is released, the emperor seems to be high, and the actual power is only in the hands of the two factions of Zaizhi and the eldest princess.

He has always maintained the relationship between the two factions, and it is just to consolidate his throne and sit more stable. However, the eldest princess died of illness suddenly, and the Xu family was incompetent, so that Zai Zhi quickly gathered power, thus becoming a thorn in his side that he had to remove, but the imperial power declined, and he did not have enough strength to uproot it, so he had to rely on external forces, and Xu Yu's sudden appearance gave him hope and became a sharp blade in his hands.

Momiji is Xu Yu's person, and Qin Se can't remember when he found out... It may be the time of the noble people, or it may be the time of dancing on the charcoal fire. But she never said it, and she didn't want to implicate Xu Yu, but she didn't expect the eldest princess to suddenly fall ill, and she had no choice but to use Xu Yu's feelings for her to make him a sword in the hands of the emperor, completely defeat the Zaizhi faction, and return the innocence of the Hanlin Bachelor.

The day when Zai Zhi and his party were beheaded was also in late autumn, the autumn wind was whining, the bare branches, and the yellow and rotten leaves were piled up under the roots, and the eyes were full of desolation.

Blood is a bright color in late autumn, dyeing the autumn of slaughter red, and also dyeing the execution table red, and Chang'an once again fell into the red paint tank.

"Mother, where are you going?"

As soon as Momiji returned, he saw Qin Se wearing a blood-red cloak and walking outside.

Qin Se paused, raised his eyes and forgot to glance at the impoverished gray-white sky, and smiled, "Today is the day of execution, and this palace wants to take a walk in the palace." ”

Hongye frowned, full of puzzlement, but also obediently asked, "Niangniang, do you want the slave to accompany you?"

"It's fine. But you have to be quicker. ”

"Yes."

The autumn wind is bleak, everything in late autumn gradually becomes desolate, only the red wall and green tiles are still bright, Qin Se walked slowly on the red wall path, from the direction of the Spring Palace to the place where he entered the palace, he was running around in this deep palace before and could not protect himself, and he had never seen the path of the red wall and green tiles.

Nowadays, things are people, and the state of mind is no longer what it used to be.

Qin Se's fingers lightly swiped across the red brick wall, facing the gray and white sky, and walked towards the place where he went out.

"Momiji..."

"..."

The red leaves followed, and his face was calm and calm, with a bit of joy, after all, people are in good spirits when they are happy.

"When I entered the palace, this is the way that the palace walked. After two more intersections, it is the main hall, and the palace is dancing at the palace banquet and entering the palace. ”

"At that time, when I entered the palace, I was full of how to wash away my grievances, take revenge, and return my Yan family's innocence, and now my wish has come true, and it is extremely brisk to take this road again, because this is the way to leave the palace, Red Leaves, what do you want to do after leaving this deep palace?"

Hongye tilted his head and thought for a while: "Naturally, I still follow Niangniang, the slave maid follows Niangniang for a while, and naturally follows Niangniang for the rest of my life, except for following Niangniang, the slave and maid can't think of anything else."

Qin Se Waner smiled, "It's okay, after leaving this deep palace, find a place with peach blossoms, remote, preferably in a small town away from the hustle and bustle, with piano and dance." ”

"Xu Sangongzi sent someone to wait for this victory, and immediately come back and take the mother away..."

"Hmm..."

Qin Se looked up at the gray sky and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

After being in this deep palace for a long time, I almost forgot what kind of sky was outside, the streets and alleys of Chang'an, the thousand-year-old trees of the temple, and the juggling acrobatics on the streets.

Qin Se waited for a month, did not wait for Xu Yu to come back, but waited for a blood-stained guqin, that guqin, Qin Se is very familiar, and there is a mighty tiger on the head, which is the symbol of the black armor army.

Qin Se sat with the guqin in his arms for a whole night, without tears, just sitting quietly.

She suddenly remembered the conversation between Xu Yu and the emperor before he set out on the expedition, yes, in this game, she is the layout person, and she is also a chess piece in someone else's game, sharing the same bed for so many years, how did she not know that the emperor is a person, there is the first one, and it is inevitable that there will not be a second, so he wants to hold all the rights tightly in his hands, and hide all the birds, who can not understand this truth?

Once he enters the palace, he is the emperor's person for the rest of his life, the glory of the royal family, how can a concubine leave this deep palace alive, it is a royal shame, no matter which one he takes, he will not let Xu Yu come back.

She guessed, but she couldn't convince herself, only if he went, the emperor could make up his mind to eradicate the Zaizhi faction, only if he went, could he make Zaizhi take it lightly, and only if he went, she could take revenge and get revenge.

She knows all this...

After that night, Qin Se had a serious illness, and there was no medicine for the medicine, and all the imperial doctors were helpless.

Genser knew her time was near.

Most of them had a premonition before they died, a premonition that they were going to leave.

Before leaving, she went to the temple to pray for blessings, knelt for a long, long time, and when she came out, the thousand-year-old tree in the temple was flourishing, and the mahogany sign on it collided with the wind and clanked, which was very good.

She took the wooden sign she had been.

There is a line of words on it that the dragon flies and the phoenix dances.

Qin Se is in the palace, why not be quiet?
