Chapter 61: Soft-hearted, let her go
"Murder pays for life. You know, what I've carried for you. Xiaoshuang, do you know what is wrong?"
Shen Mushi's voice was just like his name, a fluttering breeze caressed, light and faint, without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness......"
Xiaoshuang had already understood Shen Mushi's words, and she only felt sad and helpless in her heart.
He always knew the dirty things he was doing, but he still chose to tolerate himself. It was false to say that she was not moved, but the next sentence made her feel painful.
"But, you should know what I mean for Shuangshuang........"
I don't know why, when Shen Mu said this, he had a feeling of relief, as if the shackles in his heart had been lifted all at once, after so many years, the heavy hanging in his heart made him breathless.
"The concubine doesn't want to know! Do I know what you mean? But does Your Highness know the concubine's intentions? You let her scold me! How can the concubine endure it! ”
Xiaoshuang's jealousy and resentment were aroused again, and she complained to Shen Mushi in a dumb voice.
"As I said, she is the crown princess, and the concubine should be disciplined by her if she violates the palace rules. You drugged her for such a trivial matter, when did you become so vicious! ”
Shen Mushi didn't want to explain, even if he fell in love with Shuangshuang, it was none of her business.
All along, he has never favored Shuangshuang, but has been more dedicated to Xiaoshuang.
On the day of the wedding, he didn't go to the Lu family to marry Shuangshuang for her, which was a great humiliation to the Lu family.
Later, I heard that she was injured, and left the warm pavilion on the night of the cave room to accompany her to Hanxian Palace, leaving both of them alone to endure the long night.
He also promised her that he would come to accompany her as long as he was free, and he did it one by one, and he had a clear conscience.
He thought that he had done so many things for her, and even made countless enemies, and she should be content, but he forgot a saying: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and she let him down.
"But you also promised to make me the crown princess! Has Your Highness forgotten! ”
Xiaoshuang raised her head and asked unwillingly.
When she knelt on the ground with teary eyes and looked at Shen Mu, she hoped that he would respond to her, but Shen Mushi didn't even look at her.
"One king has no two concubines. Besides, I need the Lu family. ”
Shen Mushi brutally shattered Xiaoshuang's hope and mercilessly pointed out her lowly background.
"I promised to give you a name, and asked my father for the identity of a concubine, and I did it. But what you're doing now is rubbing away my affection for you bit by bit. ”
Shen Mushi has been reminiscing about the past tonight, as if he is saying goodbye to the past.
Especially these words, it is tantamount to abandoning Xiaoshuang and never forgiving her again.
Xiaoshuang now knew that the situation was serious, and she cried bitterly and quibbled: "I just wanted her to make a fool of herself and didn't want her life!" Your Highness spares my life, I'm really just jealous! I beg Your Highness to spare your life!"
As he spoke, Xiaoshuang walked to Shen Mushi's feet and held the hem of his clothes tightly in his hands, crying pear blossoms with tears were not miserable.
"Xiaoshuang, you know what? You are similar to me. Whoever dares to obstruct it must die. ”
Shen Mushi was indifferent, just slowly lowered his head and looked at Xiaoshuang's eyes, her eyes were full of fear.
And Xiaoshuang finally saw Shen Mushi's expression clearly, her eyes were as clear as glass, but they were eroded and cold.
"Is it even me that is in your way?"
Shen Mushi slowly squatted down and looked directly at Xiaoshuang, there was no affection in his eyes.
Xiaoshuang's face turned pale, her pale lips trembled slightly, and she said in fear: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine doesn't dare to ........."
"And Xin'er........." Shen Mushi said lightly.
"How long are you going to mess around?"
When Xiaoshuang heard this, she was shocked, could it be that Shen Mushi knew about the matter between Shen Yuanan and her?
That's impossible! That's impossible!
"Your Highness spares your life! Your Highness spares your life! The concubine is just a temporary nonsense, it was forced by the prince of Qi, and I have no second thoughts about His Royal Highness! I beg Your Highness to be clear! ”
Xiaoshuang tightly pulled Shen Mushi's wide sleeves, and only then did she understand that she was in danger and was in danger of turning around at any time, and she cried bitterly.
"You should know that there is nothing to hide from me in this East Palace, you shouldn't be lucky, thinking that I won't check it afterwards."
"You have the courage to do bad things, but you don't have the brain to hide the fox's tail. Relying on my favor for you, murdering the master, and defiling the harem, according to the palace rules, both of you have to die. ”
Shen Mushi's tone was very light, but it made Xiaoshuang feel that he had died hundreds of times.
"Your Highness spares your life! The concubine was really forcibly insulted by the prince of Qi! In order to save my life, I have to obey ah! I beg Your Highness to remember the old love and let me atone for my sins! Please! Please! ”
Things have come to this point, and no more quibbling is really a dead end.
Xiaoshuang understands Shen Mushi's temper, eating soft but not hard, and there may be some vitality if she is soft at this time.
So Xiao Shuang repeated his old tricks, and used his old ways to keep begging Shen Mushi, hoping that he could forgive himself.
She really didn't want to die, and she couldn't die.
Chastity is especially important in the harem.
Xiaoshuang didn't understand, but was lucky. Although she was not voluntarily insulted by Shen Yuanan at the beginning, it did happen.
Now that she has been discovered by Shen Mushi, what other way can she go?
Who is Shen Mushi? What was Xiaoshuang thinking at this time, how could he not be clear?
In the past, everything was to turn a blind eye to the old love, and she designed to get rid of the fine works sent by several queens, and he would not care about the life or death of those warblers and Yanyan.
But Shuangshuang is the crown princess, she walked around and rumored that she was not perfect to enter the East Palace, and the discussions in the palace almost spread to the previous dynasty, and the movement was too big and was finally targeted by the secret guards, if it wasn't for the dark guards' ability to block those people's mouths in time, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it would be.
In this matter, Shen Mushi saw that she was his grandmother's daughter, and let her go again. As long as she stays in Hanxian Hall honestly, he can still be good to her as always.
What made him unbearable was that she had the audacity to coerce several female officials to help her do things, and put on clothes that had been sprinkled with flattering drugs, and Shuangshuang was almost defiled by Shen Yuanan's thief. Xiaoshuang has a bad brain, he is not stupid, how could those female officials let Xiaoshuang coerce, in fact, they are all meticulous in secret, and there are all princes and princesses behind them.
According to Xiaoshuang's actions, Shen Mushi could have killed her directly.
Shen Mushi thought about it all night, back and forth, back and forth, and finally sanitized the idea of killing her and temporarily left her a small life.
But the affection is gone, and the only thing left is to use.
He decided to turn Xiaoshuang into one of his pawns, and at the end of the loss, he would still get rid of it.
Between the two of them, there is no going back.
With a lot of emotion in his heart, Shen Mushi took a deep look at Xiaoshuang for the last time.
"Then prove it to me, prove whether you really don't have two hearts for me." Then, he stood up straight and left the Hanxian Hall without looking back.
Xiaoshuang, who picked up a small life, collapsed on the ground after hearing Shen Mushi's footsteps disappear, and she gasped for breath like a fish about to die for the rest of her life, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Got up from the ground with difficulty, slowly climbed up to the beauty couch, Xiaoshuang's hands trembled and went to serve the tea on the table to drink, but she couldn't hold the tea cup steadily, she was annoyed and angry and swept the tea set on the table to the ground with one hand, and the tea set was shattered in response, just like Shen Mushi's heart to her, scattered and scattered, and she couldn't fight anymore..........
At the beginning of the hour, the Yihe Hall was silent, only the light sound of the wind.
Yihe Council Hall is located in the outermost part of the East Palace, one enters the East Palace Gate, the sandwich road is fifteen zhang, the cedar flag is a column on the left and right, ten flags embroidered with royal tiger stripes flutter, the main hall of the main hall is the ceremony and the Council Hall, there are two partial halls on the left and right, one is the heavy year hall of the banquet guest, one is the East Palace Soldiers and Horses Garrison Counselor's Office.
Between the two halls and the Yihe Hall, the vermilion high wall is connected with the heavy black cedar gate, and the door is nailed with nine vertical and seven gilt copper nails in the winter sun, shining with golden light.
Passing through the black gate and entering the corridor, a plum snow forest is like white brocade, the wall of the plum snow pavilion is like snow, but there is a seven-storey tower, standing on the condensing wave pond and looking down on the entire East Palace, in the sparkling waves, the snow-white building is extremely pure, floating away.
After passing through Mei Xuelin is the inner garden of the East Palace, which is the South Champs, which is used to entertain visiting women.
The rest are the library of the prince's office and the three courtyards of the East Palace Palace.
Along the nine-song corridor and go deeper, separated by the Lanyu Garden is the Hanxian Hall and the Li Xing Palace. After the Li Xing Palace, the corridor connects the Chuxue Pond and the Qilin Garden, and in the past it was the Weiyang Hall and the Liuyun Palace.
A little further to the north is the northernmost side of the East Palace, the North Champs and the Hanging Spring. There are several small courtyards in several of the main halls, Qihu heavy pavilion, the corridor is winding, the incense path is sandwiched, and it is often hidden in the bush when one turns around.
Everything in the East Palace appeared under the lookout window of Meixue Pavilion, and it was impossible to escape easily.
There is a confidential lookout on the Meixue Pavilion, and a small window with a wide outer and narrow inner part is dug out of the thick wall, and the prince's secret guard is guarded behind the window. There are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the East Palace, who are responsible for guarding the inner and outer gardens, and the prince's secret guards are unknown.
As soon as Shuangshuang stepped into the Yihe Palace, he saw Shen Mushi sitting in the hall, and his murderous aura made Shuangshuang's heart skip a beat.
There is a spring stool in the hall, and four eunuchs dressed in Xuan costumes stand on both sides of the spring stool, and several eunuchs stand straight with a serious face.
The other palace people were lined up on both sides of the hall, and the hall was full of people, looking at about a hundred people.
There were several people kneeling on the ground, who were bound by hemp rope, and their mouths were stuffed with cotton cloth and their faces were bloodied, and they all looked like they had been tortured.
Shuangshuang recognized them, it was the female official who dressed her up on the morning of the birthday banquet, including Xiaoli and Xin'er, Xin'er saw Shuangshuang looking over here, her eyes were a little excited, and she kept kowtowing to her for help, Shuangshuang couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but stop.
Ning Yi saw Shuangshuang standing still, and whispered in Shuangshuang's ear: "Niangniang, don't be soft-hearted, go to the palace quickly, Your Highness is still waiting." ”
After Ning Yi's reminder, Shuangshuang withdrew his eyes and walked towards Shen Mushi.
