042. Now, he's really late
At that time, Wei Tian only left one sentence: "Xiaozhi, wait for me to come back" and left her, and hurriedly followed the little Gong'e.
Qin Buxian wanted to get up and stop him, but when he got up, he was dragged back by Zhao Mengqing.
When Donglizhi also left the banquet, and the ministers also dispersed in twos and threes, there were only Qin Buxian, Zhao Mengqing and Benwang left in a huge Shengjing Garden, Zhao Mengqing comforted her abruptly and said: "Lord Qin, the queen mother has let him go, what if you have the means to let him stay?" Can't you see which side his heart is tighter? ”
Qin Buxian's eyes dimmed little by little, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and sneered: "Lord Zhao, I didn't stop him for the sake of the queen, I got up and stopped him for the sake of His Majesty." After a pause, he raised his hand to support his chin, tilted his head to look at me, and smiled more presumptuous and colder, "I can't guess that Your Majesty will regret it tonight, what does His Royal Highness King Chong'an think?" ”
The king raised the wine cup and was about to answer, but he caught a glimpse of billowing white smoke billowing up in the southeast, and the wine glass fell from his hand unsteadily, so in these few seconds, I looked up again, and saw the red fire rushing out of the reckless white smoke, turning into a ten-zhang tongue of fire and licking away towards the night sky, and the next second, the entire southeast sky was full of fiery red smoke clouds, with a roaring wind, rolling and not extinguished.
I slowly got up on the table and heard my slightly trembling voice: "Fengqi Palace." ”
reacted in an instant, and the three of us rushed all the way over, and Qin Buxian in the middle didn't know whether it was because of drunkenness or fear, and he fell down several times.
Finally arrived at the gate of Fengqi Palace, this king looked at this scene, his legs and feet instantly weakened, and he almost fell.
Outside the palace gate, a phoenix robe has been folded and placed on the ground, which is the one worn by Dongli Zhi during the day; In the palace gate, the smoke of the fire swallowed the sky and the earth, and further there was a heat wave scorching the face, and the smoke burned over the eyes.
There was a little girl in white who knelt in the door and cried miserably, her hair was burned to crackle, but she didn't know whether she was alive or dead and knelt all the way forward, Qin Buxian gritted her teeth and rushed in to pull the little girl out, but found that the girl had been burned all over her face, and also found that this little girl was none other than the tea clothes who had accompanied Donglizhi for three years.
She knelt on the ground, grabbed the corner of Qin Buxian's robe, and burst into tears when she looked up: "Lord Qin...... Girl, why does she put aside the tea dress every time, why does she leave the tea dress every time......"
Qin Buxian's eyes were full of the red fire in Fengqi Palace.
She didn't answer this question, but took out a silver needle and stabbed Cha Yi in the neck, and after Cha Yi fell asleep, she turned her head and instructed Zhao Mengqing: "I still bother the Lord to personally take Cha Yi out of the palace to treat her injuries, and don't let her come back." ”
Zhao Mengqing picked up the tea coat and asked before leaving, "What about you?" ”
Qin Buxian said: "His Royal Highness King Chong'an and I, wait for Donglizhi's sweetheart to come over." ”
The palace was collapsing one by one, and in the midst of the raging fire, I saw hundreds of trees behind the palace, standing in the shadow of the fire.
I asked Qin Buxian: "This king doesn't remember that there are woods behind Fengqi Palace, what are these?" ”
She said in a cold voice: "I only found out today. Donglizhi loved pear blossoms, so he ordered all the pear blossom trees in the imperial capital to be cut down. Later, for some reason, he occupied Lu Youyou's territory, and in Fengqi Palace, he raised a lot of pear blossom trees for Dongli Branch. He raised pear blossom trees here, but he couldn't see the branches in the east, and he also added a blockage to Lu Youyou. The people of your imperial family, it is really difficult to guess what you think. ”
I remembered the pear blossom he handed to Donglizhi.
In the early morning of the next day, the fire was gone, the fire had subsided, the pear blossom trees were burned to ashes, and only the white smoke left in the southeast sky was entrenched here, and it did not disperse for a long time.
Higashi-rie's sweetheart is finally here.
Even though it was already daylight, his footsteps were even more unsteady than when Qin Buxian rushed over last night, and he stumbled under a few sycamores not far away, and the more he walked towards the gate of Fengqi Palace, the more stumbling his steps became.
When he finally walked to us, he saw the neatly folded phoenix robe under his feet, and the phoenix feathers on his back swayed and fluttered his wings. And his wedding robe was still dressed steadily, the sun, moon and stars were gathered, and the dragon body rose from the clouds.
His face was a hangover or a sickly pale after indulgence, as if his hands didn't listen to the call very much, and his hands trembled so much that he grabbed the corner of the phoenix robe after grabbing the wedding dress that was close at hand.
Not far in front of him was the owner of the phoenix robe, and it was also the ashes left over from the monstrous fire.
I don't know why, looking at him like this, the past in the heart of this king was also awakened - in the spring of the thirtieth year of the Jin Kingdom, this king was lying on the palace gate and drinking, and suddenly saw the southeast fire at night, and the smoke was thick. Rushed over and found that Fengqi Palace had turned into a sea of fire, Wei Tian was crying at the door, and was dragged by a few loyal eunuchs, and I realized that his biological mother, Empress Chen, was still inside.
The next day, the palace burned out, and only a few charred bones remained on the pile.
The pain of the past was licked away by the tongue of fire again, and this time he was still powerless.
"Twig, wait for me to come back." It became his last words to her.
But the little branch in the story didn't wait for his sweetheart to come back.
The newlyweds and the old ones are all gone, and only he trembles and embraces a wedding dress into his arms, until the knuckles of his fingers are fully revealed, and his eyes are as red as blood.
Qin Buxian once asked me in a whisper that day: "Do you think the red fire statue last night is not like the scarlet blanket?" He's on this side, and Higashi-rie is on the other. He once walked through this long red carpet, walked to the front of the sedan chair, and shook the hand of Dong Lizhi. Now, the blanket has turned into fire, and he can't wear it anymore. ”
This king remembered that sentence: I only have to treat you well today, do you think I am too late, little branch?
Qin Buxian also thought of it: "Now, he's really late." ”
