A Dream to Live, a Dream to Die (7)
A Dream to Live, a Dream to Die (7)
The nightingale knocks at the door,
"Miss Gong, it's already hour."
Gong Changjue took a deep breath, got out of bed and opened the door.
Nightingale Road,
"Miss Gong didn't sleep well last night?"
Gong Changjue laughed awkwardly twice,
"Probably I slept too late."
The nightingale pointed to the forehead of the palace chief,
"You have a small bag bulging on your forehead, did you hit the head of the bed when you turned over?"
Gong Changjue reached out to touch it, and sure enough, there was a little bulge on his forehead.
Gong Changjue clenched his other hand slightly,
There is a wound, naturally... There are many inconveniences, and it is reasonable not to go out to meet people.
"Nightingale, can you go and tell Ren the old man for me, just say that I am inconvenient today, so I won't look for him."
The nightingale didn't ask much, but said,
"Okay."
Nightingale Road,
"Yesterday I went into the palace and brought back a letter, do you want to see it?"
Gong Changjue nodded.
Nightingale Road,
"I'll show you when I get back."
The nightingale walked away.
After the palace chief washed up, he sat in the courtyard, and there was still a half-knot on the table that she had tied last night.
The palace chief picked up the knot, and continued to weave last night.
The warm sun fell on her, and the morning wind and sun were warm, not impatient, gentle and wanton.
Romantic and romantic, the sun hits the breeze, and her long hair is slowly lifted with lingering and brilliant light.
The lazy wild sun, the leaves illuminated by the light, fell into her eyes, and she became sleepy.
She couldn't help but lie on the table, and after a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In front of the mahogany rhombus vanity mirror, Chu Ran's eyes were like peach blossoms, staring at her eyes.
He dotted rouge with his fingertips and slowly wiped it on his lips, Gong Changjue looked at him, and there was no time to question, his kiss had already come from time to time, and her petal-like lips were dyed with lingering red.
His fingertips fell on her chin, and his lips were stained red with the woman's rouge, a graceful appearance she had never seen before.
It seems that the clouds have passed, people are walking in the clouds, stepping on the heart step by step, holding the spring wind, and admiring the boat floating in the lotus sea in summer. Looking forward to seeing off the wild geese that will return from the south, and the snowflakes that are as light as clear in winter quietly kiss her lips.
Slightly cool and warm, soft and indistinguishable.
She has waited for this moment, and has been looking forward to several springs, summers, autumns and winters.
The undoubted knots on his body were touched by her and slowly slid down.
Gong Changjue slowly opened his eyes, and there was still a quiet courtyard and clear sunshine in front of him.
In her hand she held the tassel that had been half-beaten last night.
A few birds chirped on the branches, fluttering off the branches and bouncing off a few leaves.
The soft moaning of her dreams still ringed in her ears.
married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful.
Don't doubt itβ
Gong Changjue's gaze slowly fell on the knot tassel in his hand.
It turns out that dreams don't deceive.
The emotions that cannot be said in the daytime will appear without reservation in dreams.
Her true heart and secrets, her dreams had told her, over and over again in the illusory world.
In the library pavilion, Ren Xuanji took the pulse for Chu Ran.
Chu Ranyu's face was solemn,
"What the hell is going on with those things in the dream?"
Chu Ranyu's eyes fell, and he looked at a piece of paper on the table, with a pattern painted on it, and the Qinglian came out of the water, which was the pattern of the veil.
"What do I see?"
Ren Xuanji withdrew his hand, lifted the teapot and poured a full tea bowl for himself.
"What do you see?"
Chu Ranxin said in a deep voice,
"Seeing me riding under a tall building, a white handkerchief fell on me."
Ren Xuanji picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip.
In Chu Ranyu's eyes, there were many emotions surging,
"She chased after me, from my favorite tea shop to the autumn hunt, but in her memory, I never looked back at her. She has always been, very lonely. β
Her reputation was ruined, she was no longer bright and public, holding the tablet of the ancestor of the palace family, and was beaten covered in blood. In prison, she held a blood-stained tassel and hid it in her arms in the dark, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world. β
Chu Ranxuan closed his eyes, and the scenes in his dream flashed by like flowers.
The last scene is her crying in prison.
Helpless and hesitant, weak and powerless.
The eyes lose all luster and fall into darkness forever.
Ren Xuanjidao,
"What should you do if I say that your dreams are not dreams?"
Chu Ran's eyes sank,
"Not a dream?"
Ren Xuanjidao,
"A dream of life, a dream of death, a dream of the past, a dream of the future, she dreams of life, dreams of the future, what you dream of is a dream of death, it is the past."
Chu Ran said,
"In the past?"
Ren Xuanjidao,
"If the world is later than the present in the dream, it does not necessarily mean that it is the future, but it is also possible that it is the past."
Chu Ranxuan said slowly,
"It's just that I can't see through half of this dream, although things have changed, but it has been three years after now, but Master says that it is in the past."
Ren Xuanji shook his head and sighed,
"You are obviously smarter than your senior brother, but you are not as enlightened as your senior brother, you have to see through it, but I am afraid that you still need time."
Ren Xuanji got up,
"I can't say more with you, these can only be understood if you realize it yourself."
Chu Ranyu's eyes fell on the Qinglian pattern.
Chang'anzhong.
In the teahouse, there is Bai Xiaosheng on the stage,
"Miss Gong and Chu Shizi haven't appeared for half a month, and the people who went to look for them still found nothing, and now they have gone downstream to find them, and they don't even ask for too much, they just hope to find a whole corpse."
The faces of the crowd were solemn.
It's been half a month, but I'm afraid it's impossible to survive.
Bai Xiaosheng said,
"None of the cases that have come to the front of the yamen have been accepted. Although His Majesty has expressed his position, he has only demoted Princess Wengyu to a concubine, and has not even been expelled from the palace. β
There is a woman's way,
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty... In this way, it really makes me feel uncomfortable, those are two living lives, and they are both talented and beautiful women in their prime. How can it be gently peeled off like this. β
Someone should make peace with the Tao,
"After all, Your Majesty must not want to make a big fuss and let the princess lose it. But this is the only bloodline of King Ding and the eldest daughter of the palace family, how can she be so sloppy and perfunctory, Your Majesty governs the country and the people, but she is confused in small things, which is somewhat chilling. β
The person next to him hurriedly whispered,
"We can't blame Your Majesty."
The woman cried,
"Back then, on the long street, Chu Shizi's style of riding a horse on the street is still vivid, but it has disappeared in a blink of an eye, how can people believe it, how can they be willing to believe it."
"The most important thing is that the culprit was unscathed, and now he is still enjoying happiness in the palace, except that he does not have the name of a princess, but what is there to lose, it is Chu Shizi who died, it is Chu Shizi."
"I have also seen Miss Changjue, at that time, the Meng family went to kneel three times and bow nine times to apologize, Miss Changjue didn't even embarrass them and forgave them, although she is arrogant, but she is also demure and kind, such a good woman, even if she does not have that poetic talent, she does not have amazing beauty, she is also a rare good woman in the world."
Others answered,
"If it weren't for the so-called princess trip, they would still be alive and well now."
Bai Xiaosheng said,
"During this year's Lantern Festival, a month after Miss Gong dissolved the marriage, many people saw Chu Shizi walking with Miss Gong with their own eyes, and Chu Shizi also bought paper kites and gave them to Miss Changjue, and Miss Changjue also received the flower."
"Receiving the paper kite, it is to accept the meaning of Chu Shizi, one is the flower on the moon in the world, and the other is the thirty-three days of fallen immortals, if you say that you can learn the character, I am afraid that there is no more compatible character in this world. However, it is such a fairy dependent, and it was annihilated before it could bear any results, so that people could only sigh. β
"The queen Dou who ordered to be shut up and threatened everyone on the spot with her life and not allowed to divulge any news, is now not to mention that it has been abolished, and she has not even been grounded, nor has she written a half-word for her mistakes, as if nothing had happened."
The person who sat close to the door subconsciously closed the door, afraid that the sound inside would be heard by outsiders.
These private discussions about the big royal family, if they are caught, something will really happen.
"Your Majesty, why is he so confused."
"I'm really not worth it for Chu Shizi and Miss Changjue."
"Before he could hold his hand, he was already dead, and the urn Yu pushed Miss Changjue down the cliff, and he didn't hesitate at all, even in front of everyone, he didn't restrain himself, how arrogant and domineering he should be on weekdays."
"Chu Shizi jumped down with Miss Changjue, and he was also dead. Confessing one's mind with death, how can there be such a desperate joy in the world. β
"But in the end, it will be gone, and it would be nice if we lived."
"How can Your Majesty take this kind of thing lightly, both of them are still behind the gate, the ancestors are the Great Zhou, and they have fought for the king for a hundred years, if something happens to us poor people one day, will Your Majesty make the decision for us."
Everyone had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but be afraid.
Obviously, His Majesty is in power, and they are prosperous as far as they can see, which proves that His Majesty governs the country well, but why is it faced with such a problem, His Majesty can't distinguish the severity, and only relies on the judgment of relatives and negligence, if Your Majesty is really as they have always seen, it should be to punish the wicked, make the decision for those who died in vain, and give an explanation to the people of the world. However, His Majesty's behavior now is so chilling.
All along, did they see it wrong?
As soon as this thought came out, everyone couldn't help but stop their thoughts and didn't dare to think down.
No, no, how can Your Majesty be the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and only protects the pro-party.
Can't think about it anymore.
Bai Xiaosheng stood on the stage,
"All the ministers have admonished, that is, now Guan Tingwei, who is the cousin of the queen Dou, and Prime Minister Shen, who is the cousin of the queen Dou, has urged him to abolish the queen, but His Majesty has blocked the mouths of the people, and bluntly said that he will move the phoenix seal, but the phoenix seal is still in the hands of the queen Dou."
"Your Majesty's attitude, now ringing, is somewhat chilling, all the squares in Chang'an have become like this, the yamen has also received hundreds of reports, the people are panicked, the people are angry, and there are tens of millions of people who want justice for it."
"But Your Majesty didn't look at the hearts of the people, didn't do the slightest justice for our prayers, and killed our eagerness to intercede for the way of heaven and humanity. In the future, what if such a thing happens to us? Is it also handled so lightly, as if nothing happened? β
Everyone only felt disappointed and sad in their hearts, as the people, what they hoped most was naturally no harsh government and a wise monarch, but in front of them, everything seemed to be different from what they thought.
A window upstairs slowly opened, and everyone didn't notice it, Guan Wuwu looked at the solemn people in the lobby, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The people's hearts are full of confidence, and the way of heaven is good.
When his father was wronged as a rebellious minister and thief, he was spurned by thousands of people and beheaded by the knife, and Emperor Yuan should also enjoy the taste of being spurned by these ten thousand people.
He will step by step, let everyone stand on the opposite side of Emperor Yuan, let him be poked in the back, tortured to death in humiliation. And when he was to die, he could only hear the spitting of all the people, and no one had pity on him.
In Guan Wuwu's mind, a person suddenly appeared, slowly landing the chess pieces on the chessboard, and her hair shook with her movements, she said softly,
"If Emperor Yuan wants ten thousand arrows to pierce his heart and die of pain little by little, this method is the most useful. After all, an emperor, if he does not have the trust and love of the people, will inevitably be like a sharp blade piercing the heart. β
She landed one more piece, and all his pieces were swallowed up by her pieces.
Guan Wuwu smiled softly,
Gong Changjue is really more unpredictable than he imagined.
In the night garden, the palace chief took the letter handed over by the nightingale,
"Who wrote this to me?"
Nightingale Road,
"It's the princess."
Gong Changjue frowned slightly,
"Princess?"
Nightingale pointed to the spot where there was a frost flower on her arm.
The palace chief suddenly understood that the nightingale was talking about Ruosu.
She almost forgot that the woman with the same frost flower on her arm as her was a princess or the eldest princess of Da Zhou.
Since the nightingale recognizes Ruosu, then the dark pavilion must also be related to Ruosu, and the dark pavilion belongs to Chu Ranxuan, that is, between Ruosu and Chu Ranxuan, Guan Wuforget, it should be an alliance.
Gong Changjue unfolded the letter,
May you swim in my mother, and my mother will be very worried.
There was no payment, only a short sentence, saying that the Queen Mother was worried about her, and Ruosu asked her to write to the Queen Mother.
Ruo Su didn't say a word, only made one request, but it was completely for the sake of Queen Yan.
The palace chief lowered his eyes, and the deep love between mother and son is probably like this.
The palace chief wrote a letter, writing some daily things and words of comfort, but did not reveal the place where he was. Hand the letter to Ruosu,
"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you to enter the palace again."
Nightingale Road,
"It's not a trouble, I'm going to go in tonight and give the princess a mask."
Gong Changjue frowned slightly,
"Masks?"
Nightingale Road,
"In order not to reveal her identity, the princess has been wearing a human skin mask, but she has to change it every ten days, and she often needs me to go into the palace to send it."
The palace chief suddenly realized that Ruosu's appearance was only afraid of resembling the queen mother, and if she rashly exposed her appearance, she would inevitably expose her identity.
The scar on Ruosu's face turned out to be not really a scar.
On the way to the Temple of All Nations, Concubine Yun Guifei indifferently watched the curtain of the carriage being blown apart by the wind.
Suddenly, a group of black-clothed men poured down from the mountain and stopped the guard of honor of the car.
"Hand over the money!"
But before everyone could react, the man in black had already started to kill, not like robbing money, as if he wanted to kill his mouth.
The screams were piercing, everyone fled, and Yun Guifei was robbed by one of the men in black.
"Don't come here, I'll kill her right away!"
Not far away, a young man in a dark shirt raised his bow and shot an arrow, killing the man in black.
