A Dream to Live, a Dream to Die (6)
A Dream to Live, a Dream to Die (6)
Somehow, the palace chief ran to a courtyard that he had never seen before.
The palace chief turned around, but saw that the road he came from was no more, and the road leading to the high pavilion had become a wall.
Gong Changjue turned around and touched the wall, but it was a real wall, and there was no trace of an exit.
Gong Changjue walked around the courtyard and couldn't find his way out.
I had to go into the house and find a way.
Gong Changjue slowly pushed open the door, and what came into view was rows of bookshelves.
The palace chief walked inside, and there were all kinds of books on the shelves, including paper books, sheepskins, and bamboo slips.
Gong Changjue walked among the tall bookshelves, and saw a pile of sheepskins spread out on the shelves, and there was a slight dust on them.
She looked at the past and wrote three words to return to the soul.
Gong Changjue did not stay, walked out of the heavy bookshelf, in front of him was a high case, behind the case is the window, at this moment the window is still open, the breeze blows in, blows up the paper on the high case, and falls at the feet of the palace chief jue.
Gong Changjue leaned over and picked it up, and the paper was painted with patterns.
There is only a rough outline, no color and details, and some scribbles.
It was a tassel, and the tassel was a knot of doubt.
She was still young and stayed in the northwest with her father.
The women in the northwest often beat the sui, and the people in the northwest rarely wore jade, and the suis were tied to the weapon.
She also learned from the local women to play the sui, but she didn't play well.
Not only is it complicated, but the knotting process is also extremely difficult.
But it was the only knot she remembered in the Northwest,
Gong Changjue held the piece of paper, and his hands couldn't stop trembling slightly.
The tassel on this paper is clearly the one she called Chu Ranxing in the past.
In this life, he has never seen this tassel.
Why is there a picture of this tassel here?
Surely, the knot starts from the top, but she always starts from the bottom, leaving a different trail of direction.
And the traces of the direction on this piece of paper are tied from below.
Is it a coincidence, or is it ......
The sound of pushing the door sounded, and the palace chief hurriedly put the paper on the desk and suppressed it with the paper.
Gong Changjue turned around, and Chu Ranxuan was walking through the heavy bookshelves.
Seeing Chu Ranxuan, the palace chief suddenly became a little flustered, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
The palace chief said,
"I didn't see the way and accidentally got into here."
Chu Ranxuan stood only three feet away from her.
Gong Changjue only felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice,
"I can't find my way out for a while, and when I find it, I'll leave."
Chu Ranxin walked towards her step by step, the palace chief subconsciously retreated, but Chu Ranxin picked up the drawing and handed it to the palace chief.
The palace chief's heart jumped suddenly,
"What do you mean by this?"
Chu Ran said,
"Have you ever seen this tassel?"
His slender ten fingers rested on the paper, light and fluttering, as if it was not half a weight, but she did not dare to take the weight of the paper.
Gong Changjue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said slowly,
"Never."
Chu Ranxuan stared at her,
"This is a kind of knot in the northwest, called the knot of doubt, you lived in the northwest when you were young, you should have heard of it."
Gong Changjue lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Ranxuan,
"I've just heard about it."
Chu Ranxin stacked the drawings,
"I will take you in, and I will make this knot as a token of thanks."
He took her hand behind her back, as if he were wrapping around her waist.
Gong Changjue's eyelids jumped suddenly, and his eyes suddenly looked like he was in last night's dream, Chu Ranxuan chuckled dotingly, and said softly, "The wall is cold", and he took her into his arms.
Gong Changjue dodged sideways, but Chu Ranxuan held her hand and gently put the note on her hand.
She only felt that her heartbeat was so loud that it seemed that she could be heard by Chu Ranxing.
Chu Ran said,
"Is that okay?"
Gong Changjue raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, and his face was pale.
Seeing Chu Ran's unwavering appearance, the palace chief was even more embarrassed, what was she thinking about and what was she embarrassed about?
The palace chief nodded hurriedly, and stumbled,
"But... In order to. ”
Gong Changjue just wants to run away.
"If nothing else, I'll go first."
Gong Changjue stepped up, but was grabbed by the wrist,
turned around, and the opposite was Chu Ran's deep eyes like an ancient well,
"You just said you couldn't find a way."
Gong Changjue only felt a little embarrassed.
Chu Ran said,
"I'll send you out."
Gong Changjue lowered his eyes, only to realize that he had not shaken off Chu Ranxuan's hand.
The palace chief retracted his hand,
"Thank you, Shizi."
Chu Ranyu slowly withdrew his empty hand,
Gong Changjue always retreated half a step away from Chu Ranxing, Chu Ranxuan walked to the wall, put the lamp hanging on the wall in front of him, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the road to the high pavilion appeared in front of him.
Chu Ran said,
"Every flower and stone is a array, and when you come in, it is probably the wind that blows this lamp crookedly, so you can't find your way out."
Gong Changjue only nodded a few times indiscriminately.
"Then I'm leaving."
Gong Changjue walked out of the courtyard, but he didn't dare to look back, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he arrived in the night garden.
And she was still clutching the piece of paper in her hand, crumpling it.
But suddenly it began to rain.
Queen Dou was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in the rain,
And a eunuch came forward with an umbrella,
"Niangniang, this rain is too heavy, you have been kneeling all night, and if you kneel down again, your body will definitely not be able to stand it."
Queen Dou's clothes and hair are wet,
"Your Majesty, please see your concubine."
The thunder roared through the sky, and Queen Dou subconsciously shrank her eyes.
Queen Dou's personal palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Queen Dou's clothes,
"Niangniang, don't kneel, it's thundering, it's already thundering."
The palace maid was crying,
"Niangniang, you are most afraid of thunder, now that this thunder is so big, don't kneel."
Queen Dou just pushed away the hand of the palace maid holding an umbrella to protect her from the rain, and the raindrops hit Queen Dou like a wind.
The thunder rumbled, and the summer thunder was fierce, one after the other, and every thunder seemed to ring in the ears, and every thunder made people's hearts tremble.
In the hall, Yun Guifei took the grapes and peeled them, and wanted to feed them to Emperor Yuan, but at the right time, a thunderbolt was thrown down from the sky.
Emperor Yuan stood up, walked outside the door, and muttered,
"It's thundering."
Yun Guifei stepped forward, climbed on Emperor Yuan's neck, and said softly,
"Your Majesty, the concubines are most afraid of thunder."
Emperor Yuan seemed to be looking at something, but his eyes were scattered and there was no focus.
Queen Dou's face was pale, but she still said over and over again,
"Your Majesty, please meet your concubine."
Her voice faded, her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground suddenly.
"!"
"!"
A thunderbolt suddenly rang out, and the sound of rain drowned out all sounds, refilling people's hearts and lungs, sweeping through the fragile souls, breaking and crushing them, shattering them and scattering them from all over the world.
The rain fell along the eaves, and from a distance, it looked like a sparse bead curtain.
Guan Wushu looked at the rain curtain and said,
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid that you and I are wrong in our calculations."
Prime Minister Shen sat in the middle of the room, with a picture of the country and mountains in front of him.
After listening to Guan Wuwu's words, Prime Minister Shen was just silent.
Guan Wuwu's hand rested lightly on the railing, and the raindrops of broken threads fell on the back of his hand.
"The queen mother knelt from last night to today, until it rained and was not summoned by Emperor Yuan, but after the news of fainting was reported into the palace, Emperor Yuan immediately ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, and the phoenix seal is still in the hands of the queen mother, and Emperor Yuan has no intention of grounding or erecting the palace in the air."
A little maid handed over the handkerchief, Guan Wuwei took it, glanced at the little maid, and the little maid raised her eyes shyly and timidly to see Guan Wuforget.
Guan Wu Wu dried his hands and threw the handkerchief back to the tray.
The little maid threw a few winks at Guan Wuwang, Guan Wuwang just smiled, and the smile on his face was instantly put away.
When the maidservant saw Guan Wuforget smiling at herself, her face was even more flushed.
When the maidservant girl went downstairs, the servant who was standing by followed her, and after a short time she heard a scream.
Guan Wuwu said lightly,
"Broken tendons and feet, poisoned and dumb sent into the hook bar."
The little guy is downstairs, drenched in the rain.
Guan Wu forgot to say that he was leisurely,
"Yesterday in the court, Emperor Yuan bluntly said that the queen was a wife, and today she behaved like this, I am afraid that the queen mother is not as dispensable as we think in Emperor Yuan's heart."
"Prime Minister, if you want to save the queen from the palace and save her from the chaotic battle for power, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
Prime Minister Shen said in a deep voice,
"That's the only requirement for Benxiang to work with you."
Guan Wuwu was silent for a moment and said with a smile,
"Okay."
The little guy went upstairs and said respectfully,
"It's been dealt with."
Guan Wuwu said lightly,
"In the future, if anyone approaches here in violation of the order, they will not be left alive."
The little guy said yes.
Prime Minister Shen Chengdao,
"Yang Lu and Yang Sheng, a good achievement, no one in sight."
Guan Wu forgot to smile,
"If it's not a good achievement, how can you think of making meritorious service and competing for favor at the first time, and want to sit on the throne of the prince by meritorious service, how can you use it for you and me, so that the one who has no one in your eyes has no opponent and begins to covet the throne."
Prime Minister Shen Chengdao,
"Why don't you increase the amount of Jindan, and step up the urging of the reserve."
Guan Wuwu waved his hand,
"Now you and I are one word short."
Guan Wu forgets the way,
"Die now, it's too cheap for him."
Guan Wuwu's hand slowly pressed on the Yinzhou icon on the map.
Someone ran into the main hall,
"Yinzhou Emergency Report ———"
The eunuch next to Emperor Yuan hurriedly took it and handed it to Emperor Yuan.
Yun Guifei sat aside, picked up the wine glass, and shook it casually.
Emperor Yuan took the letter, but he couldn't see it clearly, Yun Guifei took the letter in Emperor Yuan's hand and said softly,
"Your Majesty, the concubine will read it for you."
Emperor Yuan nodded.
Yun Guifei smiled and pushed the wine glass in front of Emperor Yuan,
"Your Majesty, drink some wine to make it easier to fall asleep."
The wine glass in front of Emperor Yuan was ghosted, he waved his hand to grab it, grabbed it several times, and finally grabbed the wine glass, slowly approached him, and drank the wine.
Yun Guifei said,
"Your Majesty Qiqi, the minister has overcome the enemy bandits, now he has defended the whole view of the mountain, Xiqing has been defeated, he has fled from the three houses, he has worn the face, the sand has entered the face, and the fingers have cracked the skin. Chen Yao Yuan knelt down. ”
Yun Guifei smiled,
"General Yao has blocked Xiqing, and it must be just around the corner to regain the lost ground."
Emperor Yuan pulled out a smile and shook his head a few times, only to feel that his head was getting heavier and heavier.
Yun Guifei put the letter in her sleeve, and there were only a few words on the letter,
Urgently begging for reinforcements, Guanshan has fallen.
The handwriting on the letter was blurred, and there were traces of dust and blood.
Another letter slipped from her sleeve into Yun Guifei's hand.
She pressed the letter in front of Emperor Yuan casually.
And Emperor Yuan fell on the dragon case in an instant.
In the dead of night, the palace chief was sitting in the courtyard of the night garden, and the nightingale pushed the door in, with blood stains on his body.
The palace chief said,
"You're hurt?"
Nightingale Road,
"Someone else's blood."
Nightingale placed the sword on the sword stand and untied the cloth wrapped around her arm.
"Miss Gong, it's already time, why don't you sleep yet?"
The palace chief lowered her eyes, she didn't know what she was afraid of, she didn't dare to sleep.
Gong Changjue sighed and stared at the paper and thread on the table.
The nightingale followed the palace chief's gaze,
"Tying tassels?"
Gong Changjue nodded slightly.
Nightingale laughed,
"My family is in the northwest, when I was young, my mother also taught me, I am still a good hand at playing spikes, except for my aunt in the village, no one beats spikes as well as me."
The palace chief raised his eyes,
"The Nightingale girl might teach me to fight? I don't have any demands, as long as I can get by. ”
The nightingale sits down,
"Okay?"
The night was as cool as water, pouring into her sleeves and collar.
Gong Changjue's eyelids jumped, and he said busily,
"Except for not doubting, everything else is fine."
The nightingale didn't say much, picked up the rope in front of Gong Changjue and began to knot the rope, and every movement was done extremely slowly, so that Gong Changjue could see the direction clearly.
The nightingale smooths the first knot,
"Will it be?"
The palace chief nodded busily,
"Yes."
Gong Changjue took the knot rope and slowly tied it step by step.
Nightingale Road,
"This knot is called the triumphal knot, and it is probably the simplest one, and you can beat it a few more times."
The movement of the palace chief jue knot was extremely slow, but the knot tied by the glass silk shook in front of him.
The two tied the knot until midnight, and the nightingale made a very complicated knot, and when it was grasped and circled, it looked like a flower blooming.
Gong Changjue was only barely halfway through, and he really couldn't hold it anymore before he went back to sleep.
The morning light filtered in through the window and into the room.
Gong Changjue sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the rhombic mirror reflected her appearance.
She seemed to hear someone singing songs on the wall,
"The husband has a long way, and he looks at the night,
The senchen is gone, go and leave from now on-"
The tone is gentle and tranquil.
Gong Changjue shook his head a few times, feeling a little confused in front of him, and suddenly became clear again, probably because she didn't wake up.
A handsome man pushed the door open and sat down next to her.
The palace chief was slightly surprised,
"You... How..."
The man's hand was propped up on the dresser, and the unfinished words of the palace chief were choked in his throat.
The man lazily watched as she inserted the hairpin into her hair.
Gong Changjue looked at the man next to him and said with a smile,
"Is it pretty?"
The man smiled, a pair of eyes turned around, and his cold and delicate face was a little doting,
"Hmm."
Gong Changjue took the rouge and opened the lid, but the man took the rouge box from her hand.
The palace chief's eyes lit up suspiciously.
And the man touched the rouge with his thumb and fingertips, and in her gaze, he smeared the rouge on his lower lip,
Before Gong Changjue could react, he had already leaned over and kissed it.
Rouge tossed between their lips, and Fang Fei stretched out her lips flushed red.
Soft lips fell on hers, tossing and turning, extremely gentle.
Attacking the city and plundering the land inch by inch, encircling and destroying it step by step,
Dismantled into the abdomen, lingering and engraved.
There was a glass tassel hanging from the jade pendant on the man's waist, which slid slightly with his movements.
Layers of curtains fell, and two figures leaned on each other.
The beautiful and graceful singing voice permeates the room with the sun,
"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love——"
The palace chief sat up suddenly, and his head slammed into the top of the bed.
The heart is beating fast beyond the chest.
She has recently ...... Doesn't seem quite normal.
