In the apse of the pavilion, the elegant concubine Cui Mingying lay leisurely on a couch, her face was like the autumn moon, her face was like Wodan, her eyebrows were like her eyebrows, but her phoenix eyes were spring, dressed in a yellow and white golden robe, under the slight sunlight, it was bright and beautiful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a beauty, such a beautiful view.

Empress Xiao's original anger also dissipated a little under this beautiful scenery, but Li Ningyu behind her had cold eyes.

The woman of the family who has inherited tens of thousands of years is really extraordinary.

Cui Mingyinghao covered his wrist and lightly held a book and looked at it, until Empress Xiao and the others reached the entrance of the attic, and then they raised their eyes.

Then he said with a smile:

"The Queen Mother is here, please take a seat. ”

She didn't even mean to get up, as if she was the queen.

Empress Xiao didn't speak, and walked into the attic, but she didn't sit on another couch at Cui Mingying's invitation.

Instead, he slowly walked to the corner of the attic facing Cui Mingying, stood by the railing, looked downstairs at Jinse, and looked at the clouds in the sky.

After a long time, he turned his back to Cui Mingying and said slowly:

"Mingying, it's been fifteen years since you married Your Majesty, right?"

Cui Mingying's eyes flashed, he put down the book in his hand, waved his hand, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting withdrew from the attic.

He was lying on the couch, tilting his head slightly and looking at the roof with a faint look, and his coquettish but slightly low voice sounded.

"Fifteen years, three months and twenty-one days, to be exact, at that time, he was not yet the emperor. ”

"Then you should also know that he is sincere to you. ”

Empress Xiao turned around, looked at Cui Mingying quietly, and continued:

"But you betrayed him. ”

There was regret in his eyes, but his voice was full of angry chills.

Cui Mingying didn't seem to be aware, so she lay on her back, closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes sparkled and her voice became weak.

"Xiao Yuhua, in fact, I am very envious and jealous of you, you were born in the royal family, but you have been pampered since you were a child, carefree, a pure heart, and the lead is not stained, so you can love Your Majesty wholeheartedly. ”

After speaking, they were silent, and Queen Xiao and Xiao Yuhua were also silent.

It seemed that after a long time, Cui Mingying continued:

"And I, as a child of a family, unlike you, I have been taught accident and human affection since I was a child, and I have been taught to protect the glory of the family, and to sacrifice everything if necessary for the sake of the family. When I married into the Jin Palace, it was a marriage of interests, and I didn't have any expectations, but His Majesty was talented and gentle, and I finally fell in love with him. ”

"I also fantasized that one day blocking the sword for His Majesty and dying in his arms might be the best ending. Because the family and the imperial power are naturally opposed, with the majesty of His Majesty, he will not coexist with the family, and there will always be a war between the two, and I will not be able to give up the family. ”

Empress Xiao didn't speak, she could feel the true feelings in Cui Mingying's heart, and she could also feel the torment and sadness in her heart.

Cui Mingying turned her head, pulled the corners of her mouth with a reluctant and stiff smile, and said to Queen Xiao:

"From the day he sat on the throne, I knew that one day would come. Don't worry, I won't commit suicide, for the sake of my family, I have done my best to the last of my ability, and the rest of my life will be able to waste it for him. Help me tell him: I have no regrets about falling in love with him, and I have no regrets about betraying him. ”

Her voice became lower and lower, but this last sentence, she said very clearly and firmly, and the tears in the corners of her eyes no longer flowed.

Xiao Yuhua didn't speak, but the anger and coldness in her eyes finally disappeared, and as a woman, she understood Cui Mingying's feelings, so she couldn't be hard to blame such a woman.

often sighed, looked at Cui Mingying, who was lying quietly with her eyes closed, and she said softly:

"Don't worry, I'll bring it to him!"

Walking out of the attic and through a corridor, Empress Xiao turned her head to look at the figure lying quietly in the attic, which was quiet but full of sadness.

Out of the Mingyi Palace, the heavy palace door was closed again, and the palatial palace of the concubine was separated from the outside world into two worlds, Empress Xiao looked back and looked quietly for a while, her mood was a little low, and then she said to Li Ningyu, who had been by her side:

"Ning Yu, you can handle the matter here, I, go find Your Majesty. ”

Li Ningyu looked at her depressed mood, knowing that she valued friendship the most, and she had been very harmonious with this concubine for more than ten years.

"Well, I'll take care of it, you go. ”

After Empress Xiao left, Li Ningyu turned to a female general beside her and said:

"The order, except for the Xian Guifei and the female officials, all the palace people in the Mingyi Palace were escorted to the Eternal Night Alley. ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Diligent Palace.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was holding the vermilion imperial pen and was commenting on a stack of recitals with heavy eyebrows, and Yang Zhenyu was waiting on one side.

There was a slight sound outside the hall, Yang Zhenyu frowned, looked at Yang Guang, who had no distractions, and with one look, a little eunuch at the door walked to his side on tiptoe and stood still.

He walked out of the room with light steps.

From afar, I saw Empress Xiao stepping at the gate of the palace with a dull face, but she didn't make a loud sound.

Yang Zhenyu smiled in his heart, as an old guy who has served Yang Guang for decades, how could he not know the deep friendship between His Majesty and this queen mother.

A few strode up to Empress Xiao, saluted, and said with a smile:

"Queen Mother, why do you have time to come to this Diligent Government Hall today, Your Majesty is giving instructions for the recital, and it may take a while to finish. ”

Although the words were tactful, Xiao Yuhua also heard the meaning, Yang Guang is not free now, it is better for her to go back and wait.

However, the matter of Xian Guifei can't wait.

Calming down, he looked at Yang Zhenyu with a serious face, and said:

"No, I have to see Your Majesty now. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait any longer, and walked inside.

Yang Zhenyu was stunned, but she was a step slower, this queen has always been sensible and reasonable, and she will never cause trouble to Yang Guang with her temperament, what's wrong today?

"Eh, Queen Mother, wait, wait, I'll go and tell Your Majesty first. ”

In this court, if it is not an emergency, it is not possible to use light skills, not to mention that Queen Xiao is not a weak woman who does not know martial arts.

Therefore, how can Yang Zhenyu catch up, even if he can, he will not do such a thing, no one knows the status of this queen in Yang Guang's heart better than him, and it is only because of the rules of the palace that it is his duty.

By the time he caught up, Empress Xiao had already entered the study where Yang Guang was reviewing the chapters.

If other people rushed in like this, they would have been dragged down and cut down by Yang Guang's order.

But in the face of Queen Xiao, Yang Guang was really spoiled to the extreme.

Raising his eyes to review the chapter, seeing that it was Queen Xiao, Yang Guang was also slightly stunned, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the iron law of the dynasty, and Queen Xiao has always done a good job, and she will never do such a thing as breaking into the palace of diligence.

Therefore, Yang Guang was very puzzled about the reason why Empress Xiao came here, put down the imperial pen, looked at Empress Xiao, and said with a smile:

"Yuhua, let's talk about it, who made my queen unhappy, see if I don't clean him up!"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Xiao, who was originally a little depressed and a little apprehensive, immediately didn't hold her face, the tip of her nose wrinkled, and Wan Er laughed.

For a while, the room was full of beauty, and even the air became beautiful, Yang Guang smiled more gently, got up and walked out of the desk full of concerts, walked to Queen Xiao and held her white and soft pancreas, and said softly:

"What's the matter, tell me, it's rare to see you so unhappy. ”

In front of Yang Guang, Empress Xiao has always become like a girl who is ignorant of the world.

Wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, tilted her head slightly, leaned on Yang Guang, and looked at Yang Guang, the supreme in the world, with a timid look in her eyes, but at this moment, she was like a man who was spoiled by an ordinary husband, and said softly:

"Guang, I sealed the Mingyi Palace. ”

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, hugged Queen Xiao, and said:

"Yuhua, what's wrong, tell me. ”

For Xiao Yuhua, he will not have the slightest doubt, if there is anyone in this world who is worthy of his life, it is only his beloved queen Xiao Yuhua.

Xiao Yuhua stood up straight, hesitated slightly, and then said:

"Feng Wei caught a forbidden eunuch, it was from the Mingyi Palace, and found a secret letter to be sent to the head of the Cui family from the eunuch, and after I read the secret letter, I asked Ning Yu to take Feng Wei to the Mingyi Palace, and Mingying also admitted it. ”
