Chapter 41: The Fifth Story (Two Folks)
I call Yuyu.
The emperor has twenty sons, small characters and jade, and the winner of grace is me. Over the years, I have rarely had sorrows, but the fact that my aunt has no title has taught me to be worried, and I begged my grandfather several times, but he refused.
When I was thirteen years old, the imperial court and the Jianghu Alliance, Grandpa sent me to Tianling, the head of the Jianghu sect, to learn art.
"Master, how is the disciple's swordsmanship?" A year has passed, and I have considered myself the No. 1 in Tianling.
"Very good, compared to your senior sister, only a step inferior." Master looked at me lovingly.
Senior sister, senior sister, and senior sister again, she is Shaojun, the successor of Tianling. I've never met her, but I've often heard people talk about her, and whenever I show extraordinary ability, the teachers always boast: "He has the grace of his senior sister." ”
Is this a compliment? It's humiliation!
Five years later, I will return to the palace, and the master said that the legendary gifted senior sister will go with me, and I will resume my status as a prince, and she will be the female official of the palace. That was the first time I'd ever seen her - a bamboo-bone, jade-spirited, heroic, and of course, worse than me.
After returning to the palace, Grandpa wanted to see my academic achievements. I lost 19 brothers and 18 brothers in a row, and Grandpa's eyes were full of praise.
"Brother, Brother Seventeen is here to ask for your swordsmanship." Brother Seventeen came on the field in a strong outfit.
It's just in time, Brother Seventeen loves martial arts, and he is the leader of our brothers in swordsmanship, if I can defeat him, I can be called an invincible opponent in the courts, rivers and lakes, haha!
After a few tricks -
"Ding!" The sword flew out so fast that I didn't have time to recognize that I had been defeated, and my body fell backwards, and my right foot retreated and collided with a limp body.
"I have heard the name of the Seventeenth Prince for a long time, do you have the honor to ask for advice?"
It's Senior Sister! She held me in one hand and a sword in the other, and her eyebrows were not inferior to the spirit of a man.
"Tianling Shaojun, look up for a long time." Seventeen brothers gave up.
"Please." Senior sister returned the salute, first appeased me, and then went on the field to compete with the seventeenth brother.
When I saw her swordsmanship, I understood why the master said that I was inferior to her, and that I gave life to the sword, but the senior sister turned it into one. The eight points of demeanor that are said to be good are all compliments, and six points are good. I thought so, and it wasn't until she walked up to me after the competition that I came to my senses.
"Senior sister." For the first time, I called her sincerely.
"Win." After she finished speaking, she left, and I didn't know that a jade pendant had fallen on the hairpin, so I picked it up and hurried to follow.
I didn't return the jade pendant to her, and I made the bell heart of the golden bell. Yes, I know how to make gold bells, and I am happy to see the square gold flakes turn into small and round shapes.
But for a year, the senior sister won the favor of the grandfather. She said that Grandpa would choose a husband for her among the princes, I thought it would be me, but I just thought.
On the day she got married, I hung the golden bell on the box of He Liyu Ruyi. Senior sister, if you have a jade ruyi, will you still care about the golden bell hanging outside? She got married, and it was Brother Seventeen who was dressed with her, and I completely lost the competition when I returned to the palace.
Grandpa is getting older and begins to covet the art of alchemy and immortality. I was curious about the taste of the elixir, so I took one and tasted it, and when I chewed it, I felt that the taste was really bad and spit it out. I taught my retainers to take it for examination, and they found aconitum and ephedra. Grandpa ordered a thorough investigation, and the last Taoist priest was killed.
After this incident, Grandpa still did not forget the art of immortality, and after being silent for a while, he changed to a Taoist priest to continue alchemy. Even though the inspection process has been added, I am still not at ease.
A year later, Grandpa fell ill.
Two years later, Grandpa Dan was poisoned and collapsed, the eldest brother ascended the throne, and the courtiers were replaced.
Why is it that this brother of mine, after taking the throne, has crowned all his brothers except me as king, and I am old enough to do nothing wrong in my words and deeds, and I have not sinned against him?
The new emperor did not like the people in the rivers and lakes, tore up the contract, and issued an order to recall the children of the officials who studied in various sects. My seventeenth brother, the current king of Di, has two children and four wives, and my senior sister is depressed all day long.
A year later, the senior sister played, saying that she was unwell and wanted to return to Tianling for treatment. I know she's sick of royal life. On the day she returned to Lingling, I went to see her off, and I sent it out of the capital, not only that, but I would also send it to Tianling, if it was not for the emperor's call, I would never return to Beijing.
But just when we couldn't reach Tianling and couldn't reach the capital, we were ambushed. There were many people coming, at first the guards fought with them, and later, I had to kill the thieves with my senior sister myself.
The senior sister has practiced for a few years, and her swordsmanship has become more refined, and she is like a bamboo, and she is close to the thief's head.
"Lang Jun!" She called.
Lang Jun, is he the king of the seventeenth brother?
I was surrounded by thieves, and suddenly I heard the wind in the direction of my sister, and I turned around and opened it with my sword, but I was shot in the shoulder by a second arrow. She rushed to me, holding me with one hand and a sword in the other, as if she had returned to the palace four years ago, when she was in front of my father and brother to relieve me, but this time I saved her.
She was tending to my wounds, and suddenly her face changed. "Poison on the arrow!"
She was extremely angry, but she slowed down her tone and said, "Lang Jun, give me the antidote." ”
King Di stood against the light with a mask, not moving at all.
Senior sister's eyes were cold. "Lang Jun, after four years of husband and wife, I don't know what you are."
"Qingqing, the imperial court has terminated the contract with the rivers and lakes, and one Tianling disciple in the court is enough."
Qingqing? It's all come to this point, how can he still have the face to call his senior sister so intimately. Why haven't the reinforcements arrived? Life is like a silk withdrawing, and I can't hold it anymore. Will my sister be fine? King Di should always think of the kindness of husband and wife, but what if he is ruthless?
"Share honor and disgrace, life and death. Sorry, I missed the appointment. ”
My hand lost its strength and landed on her waist, "Jingle Bell!" One sound, it was the sound of a golden bell.
She has never liked bell ornaments, but I only have the golden bell to make it eye-catching, and I just want to send her a picture, she actually carries it.
"Senior sister······ My heart... Pleasure ······"
It was completely dark in front of her, and I don't know if she could hear the last sentence, Jin Ling Yu Xin, Jin Yu Liangyuan, and I don't know if she will understand.
I don't know how long it took.
"Your Highness has finally woken up." It's a man.
"Who are you?" I heard my voice a little hoarse.
"Your Highness doesn't remember? The minister is the spiritual ginseng of the Tai Hospital, does His Highness still remember who he is? ”
"Who is it?"
Lingshen knelt down and said: "Your Highness is the twentieth uncle of Your Majesty today, the minister is incompetent, and he let His Highness suffer such a heavy blow, the minister is ashamed!" After saying that, he fell to the ground.
"How did I get hurt?"
"His Royal Highness and the young monarch of Tianling were ambushed by thieves on the way to Tianling, and His Majesty sent personal guards to punish the thieves, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness has been seriously injured, and the young monarch of Tianling has died······ When His Majesty heard this, Long Yan was furious, went down to investigate the matter thoroughly, and sent His Royal Highness to the palace to recuperate from his injuries, and the ministers specially diagnosed and treated. ”
"Shaojun...... Is it gone? "My heart hurts.
Three years later, the injury had healed, and Lingshen and I decided to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
"The king of Gu Di is dead, although His Royal Highness doesn't remember, he still knows well."
"So King Di, the day before yesterday because of the poisoned wife case, he was deposed as a concubine?"
"Yes, suicide in fear of sin."
"King Di······ How could such a vicious person ever be afraid of the condemnation of the people of the world, and he would not repent until he died, and it would be cheaper for him to commit suicide in fear of sin! ”
"Coincidentally, the princess had a string of golden bells with her before her death, and she couldn't find it several times, but this time she taught a maid to find out, and saw that the silver ornaments on the golden bells were black and red, and they couldn't wipe them off, so they didn't dare to hide it, and then reported it. Finally, the imperial physician found aconitum powder in the bell cavity. Poor Princess Di, since the court broke off the alliance with the rivers and lakes, she lost power in the court, hindered King Di's steps, and was poisoned by her husband. The poison of aconitum accumulates day by day, even if Bian Que is alive. In our state, only the Diwang Mansion has such a large amount of aconitum planted. ”
Lingshen looked at me, and stopped talking.
"I'm familiar with Princess Di?"
"Alas, the minister thought that His Highness would think of something when he heard about her."
I shook my head.
As I got closer to the capital, I felt a little headache, so I said to Lingshen: "I feel like I've remembered some past events recently, come and go for a walk with me." ”
"Yes."
I walked to a mausoleum, and Ling Ginseng said behind me, "Tomb of Princess Di." His Royal Highness once asked me if I was familiar with the princess, who was the young monarch of Tianling and the senior sister of His Royal Highness. ”
"It's so easy, it never takes us much ...... cleaning"
I faintly heard someone's voice, I didn't want to see people, so I avoided it with Lingshen.
"Yes, sometimes we don't need to add sacrifices, it's all cheap."
"But you still have to watch carefully, the small willow tree planted by the king of Gudi himself last time was broken."
"You've long been ······" Lingshen exclaimed in surprise.
I turned my head, and his eyes reflected my scarlet eyes and tears still dry.
"I want to go back to the court."
"Uh······ cough, now that the court situation is unstable, His Highness should indeed worry about the king. ”
"Revenge."
"What? The person who harmed His Royal Highness and the young monarch back then was the king of Di, and he committed suicide in fear of sin! ”
"The one who harmed me and my sister—"
I stabbed his Hidden Blade into his heart with my backhand.
"It's your lord, in the high temple!"
Ten years later, the emperor collapsed.
I gathered my cronies and returned to Tianling, and the sky was as dark as a day for ten years. Only the moonlight is shallow, it seems that the golden jade bell is still there, I can touch it casually, she is also there, I can laugh with it when I turn around.
If there is an afterlife,
You are my secretary.
If there is no afterlife,
I am your jade.
