Chapter 1: Escape
In the sixteenth year of Yuanxi, Emperor Ming Zhao died of illness, and the crown prince ascended the throne three days later. Unexpectedly, the second son, King Xuan, openly rebelled, beheaded the prince in the East Palace, and colluded with important ministers to enter the palace.
The huge Weiyang Palace is lifeless. Only the sound of fighting from outside is endless. The woman on the throne, wearing a phoenix robe and sharp eyes, is the current queen's mother. It's a pity that in a few hours, I don't know who will fall into the hands of this posterior.
Her long armor scraped against the armrest of the back seat, and the shrill sound irritated her eardrums. The boy in the corner quietly tightened his fist in his wide sleeves. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was born with a good appearance, his face was like a crown of jade, and a handsome word melted seven or eight points on his face. This is the fifth prince, Xiao Heng.
The terrible stabbing sound finally stopped. The woman parted her face slightly, and raised her hand: "Bring him over." ”
He walked up to the woman and saluted in a proper manner. The woman stared at him for a long time before she said, "Raise your head." ”
He looked up and met a pair of picturesque eyes. But the beauty is beautiful, but it is like two cold and piercing poisonous snakes, clamping him deeply, wrapping around his neck, tightening more and more.
This queen mother is not his biological mother. His biological mother is a little concubine, and she has not slept a few times, probably because the luck of her life is blocked in this, and she is also pregnant. But the blessings are limited after all, and soon after giving birth to him, he died. At that time, the queen had nothing to do, and the emperor knew that the queen was jealous, but still handed Xiao Heng over to her to raise. Naturally, he didn't have a good face, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, although he was not welcomed, but he was also a prince, and he could still have a few full meals. Later, the queen gave birth to a concubine, and was soon named the crown prince, and he lived an even more bleak life as a member of the list of "may influence the prince to become emperor". In his memory, from childhood to adulthood, the queen basically never gave him a few good looks, and when those beautiful eyes looked at him, they were all poisonous snakes.
Just as he was about to lose his breath, the woman finally looked away and stared at the gold-lacquered door again. After a while, as the sound of the fight drew nearer and closer, as if it would break down the door the next moment, she finally glanced at him again.
That glance is extremely complicated, there is hatred, there is resentment, but it is mixed with more inexplicable emotions, such as reluctance, like sadness, indescribable, and unclear.
She sighed softly, beckoned, and two people walked out of the shadows: "Send the five princes out of the palace safely, and my mother's family will pick you up." ”
He was shocked in his heart and looked at the woman in disbelief. The woman had already retracted her complicated emotions and just glanced at him lightly.
The two behind him frowned and asked, "...... you, Queen Mother?"
The woman lowered her head, and the moment she raised her head, her eyebrows were sharp: "I am the queen of Daliang, and I have already made an oath between heaven and earth on the day of the seal, and I swear to live and die with Daliang." Now that King Xuan wants to rebel, he can't be counted as a person who is my big beam. The dignity of the Liang royal family must not be lost! ”
The two of them didn't say anything more, but just saluted Xiao Heng: "Fifth prince, please." ”
He still didn't react much, just followed the two people indifferently, but he still turned his head and stared at the woman tightly. The maids were tidying up her clothes, she was wearing a big red phoenix robe, and the golden phoenix was about to fly, like a firework, rushing towards the bloody wind and rain without hesitation.
He has been by the side of a woman for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen what is real, and what is the mother of the world.
His vision slowly blurred in the flames, and then gradually, into darkness.
