167 unitary hours
At the time of the unitary, I was already in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after going to the Chengqian Palace, I finally let go of the big stone hanging in my heart. The cool and colorful night was flowing quietly in all directions, brushing my cheeks and brushing the tip of my pen. The "rustle" sound of turning the pages in my hand added a rare scent of ink and books in the quiet. The dark sky was full of shining stars, a fuzzy crescent moon hung obliquely in the air above the eaves, and a faint moonlight penetrated through the window lattice, as if a layer of shiny broken silver was plated on the brick wall.
Zai Xiang and I were silent in the hall for a long time, both of us knew very well in their hearts what kind of situation had developed now, tomorrow morning the six gentlemen of Wuxu would be killed at the entrance of the vegetable market, tonight is not only the last night of the six gentlemen of Wuxu, but also the last night that I and Zai Xiang can get together.
I sat on a large black lacquer chair near the window, leaning slightly sideways, holding a copy of "Lisao" in my hand.
The long wife rested to cover up the tears and mourn the difficulties of the people's livelihood.
Worry about the country and the people! Now I suddenly see these words in my eyes, and I feel so dazzling!
I suddenly remembered talking with Zhirui in the mansion at that time.
Wonderful!
Zai Yan crouched on the desk, and looked at Cixi Shenshi's recital by the dim candlelight emitted from the glazed palace lamp, which was specially asked by Li Lianying to be transferred to the Heart Cultivation Palace. How could Zai Xiang not know that Cixi's book was specially designed to disgust people, but he finally opened it to see, after a while, he cultivated his hands and clenched his fists, and the meridians on his wrists had already burst out one by one, trying his best to suppress the anger that was about to burst out in his chest. ”
I slowly closed "Lisao", sighed lightly, and then raised my feet to Zaiyan's side, leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Lafayette's excerpt was originally sent to the heart palace to respond to the emperor, and the emperor must not fall for it!" ”
Zai Yan sighed deeply, his eyes slowly looked at me, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "The teacher has been an assistant to me for nearly thirty years, and when I was young, the teacher took care of me, even if there was no merit, there was a bit of hard work, and Lafayette just relied on him Tara??" It was too much to drive the teacher back to his hometown in Changshu with a few words of resoluteness, and I also knew that those conservative ministers in the court must not say a word, and would only take care of their own interests, but now I am also in this prison, with little freedom, and even if I know, I am powerless. ”
I thought about it for a while, and said softly: "Lord Weng Tongshu has been galloping in the officialdom in the capital for decades, and the slave thinks that the adult should have been tired for a long time, and now that he can return to his hometown, it can be regarded as a return to his roots, which is a good thing for adults." ”
Zai Xiang smiled faintly and said, "Zhen'er can always find words to make me feel comfortable," Then, Zai Xiang lowered his eyes slightly and gently took my hand, with a slight sense of guilt in his tone, "I didn't protect Zhen'er well, and in the end I let Zhen'er be implicated by me, and I can't avoid harming myself," sighed, and said, "I don't know how Lafayette and the queen will treat you harshly in the future." ”
I took a deep breath, smiled lightly, shook my head and said: "The emperor shouldn't say that, this is not a curse, this is a blessing, it is Zhen'er's blessing to be able to share honor and disgrace with the emperor, and share joys and sorrows." ”
Zai Yan frowned slightly, and looked at me emotionally, "I have thought more than once these days, if I hadn't made you enter the palace back then, maybe you would have lived a happier and more worry-free life, and now you don't have to suffer these hardships with me." ”
I smiled gently, stared at Zai Yan and said, "If the emperor is not Zhen'er, how can he know what Zhen'er thinks?" ”
Zai Xiang asked, "What do you think?" ”
I held Zaiyan's hand with both hands and squeezed it gently, and said with a smile: "For Zhen'er, it is the happiest thing to be able to meet the emperor, to be able to enter the palace and be with the emperor is already the happiest thing. ”
Zai Yan listened to my words and was silent for a long time, looking at me with affection in the light of his eyes, "If Lafayette and the queen really attack you, I won't let you last too long." ”
I hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" The emperor must not care about the minions! The emperor must take care of himself first! Originally, Lafayette's spearhead was aimed at the emperor, and the Forbidden City was full of Lafayette's eyeliner, if the emperor's actions were unfortunately discovered by Lafayette, wouldn't it just give Lafayette a reason to deal with the emperor? ”
Zai Yan said: "But I can't watch you being abused!" ”
I looked at Zai Yan and said: "The emperor must understand that as long as the emperor is good, the slave will eventually see the light of day one when the clouds and mist are cleared, but if something happens to the emperor, then the slave is really to blame!" Does the emperor know what the servants said to the minions when they went to visit Tan Sitong, Lin Xu and other adults in the prison of the Criminal Department? ”
Zai Xiang straightened up and hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
I exhaled and said: "They said that they died for the emperor, and they died without regrets, and they also handed over the emperor to the slaves, which is the trust of all of them in the slaves, and the slaves cannot live up to their trust, let alone their martyrdom," said, I stared at Zaiyan tightly, and said, "Not only can the slaves not be disappointed, but the emperor cannot be disappointed!" ”
Zai Xiang listened, his eyes gradually moved to the window, looking at the dark black color outside, the moon in the sky, quietly, and couldn't help but say sadly: "If it is really the six gentlemen of Wuxu, the east will be bright in a few hours, and the stars will fall." ”
I whispered, "But the moon is still there." ”
Ugly three o'clock, the first rays of sunshine in the east sprinkled on the curtain of the temple of nourishing the heart, I and Zai Xiang lay on the moon window couch, I curled up in Zai Xiang's arms, even in my sleep can feel an inexplicable comfort and stability, speaking of which, I have not slept so well for a long time, recently midnight dreams, will always be woken up by nightmares, the bottom of my heart in the sudden fear after slowly realizing that everything is just a dream, as if to burst the chest faintly has been turned into powder shock, the underwear is also completely soaked, Zai Xiang withdrew, I also woke upAfter a little washing and preparation, Wang Shang opened the door of the palace, Li Lianying led the inner court guards to wait outside, and as soon as he went out, Li Lianying greeted him and said: "On the order of Lafayette, please come to the West Garden!" ”
I frowned sideways and stared at Zaiyan.
Zai Yan turned his eyes, pinched my palm, and said with a faint smile: "It's so precious." ”
I smiled and nodded, "The emperor is too." ”
Zai Yan took a deep breath and slowly got on Luanyi, and finally he looked me deeply.
So do I.
