CHAPTER XXXIV
I didn't see Wu Deqing all night, and Qian Che told me that he left just after the battle, and he said where to find it? Where to find it......
In the lively Huancheng, after His Majesty had a dinner with the queen and important ministers, he ascended to the highest south gate of the palace, and the people were chatting noisily about Tianyue's victory.
"Your Majesty is here, it's really Your Majesty......"
As soon as His Majesty appeared on the city tower, the people instantly quieted down, and began to kneel while looking up like gods, shouting in their mouths, "Long live the Son of Heaven, long live the Son of Heaven, long live the Son of Heaven, long live the prosperous ......."
The heads of the people, the heads of His Majesty, are dazzling and shining fireworks, and His Majesty sees the brilliance of the fireworks hitting the queen's face without any joy or sorrow, but it also does not seem to be the slightest disobedience. This person is most afraid of this, neither sad nor sad, neither happy nor angry, and living like a puppet.
The queen didn't say anything, but she was in pain in her heart, even if the country was ruined and the family was ruined, she still had to accompany the enemies of the dead country every day to celebrate with them, and she would be trapped in this never-ending harem for life.
Think that the queen is actually the most pitiful person.
On the way back to the palace, the queen didn't say a word to Her Majesty, and sent Her Majesty back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but the queen didn't sit down, and hurriedly said that she was tired, so that Your Majesty could rest earlier.
His Majesty then stood up and called out to her: "Queen, I want to talk to you. ”
The queen smiled bitterly and said, "It's getting late today, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, so let's rest early." ”
"How about talking about Xiliang?"
The queen seemed surprised, seemed flattered, and slowly turned her head to stare at the person in front of her.
The Empress sat down again, and Her Majesty was silent for a while, muttering, "Does the Empress hate me?" ”
The queen did not shy away from it: "The dead are all my closest relatives, if I say that I don't hate Your Majesty, will I believe it?" ”
"Actually, I gave you a chance not to hate me."
The queen raised her head and asked in confusion, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”
"I know that it is inevitable to send troops to Xiliang, but as long as you bow your head to me a little and plead for mercy, I will also save at least your father and three brothers alive for your sake. But not only did you not beg me, but instead went to Chu Muxiu, do you know how incompetent and humble your behavior will make me feel how incompetent and humble I am, do you know how heartbroken I am, why can't you believe me once? ”
The queen suddenly realized, and the tears accumulated in her eyes finally gushed out, and she said in a stunned mouth, "So that's it, it's like this......"
His Majesty looked at the dejected queen, waved his sleeves and did not speak again.
The queen ran over and grabbed His Majesty's hand, she rarely took the initiative to approach him, and the Queen said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who is wrong, and it has always been the concubine who has failed your kindness." ”
His Majesty didn't hold the queen, but just begged and asked, "If the queen saw me for the first time, would you have a trace of true feelings for me?" ”
Who do you like like like this, if God can't do anything, how can the queen herself help it? This question was too difficult for the queen, and she looked at Her Majesty in a daze, tears streaming down her eyes but she couldn't say a word.
His Majesty probably also understood what the queen meant, bowed his head and didn't know whether to sigh or frown, and then broke the queen's hands one by one with his fingers, "I understand what you mean, I should wake up after so many years." ”
After speaking, he walked away in despair like the queen, and the queen was in a mess, calling behind her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
His Majesty, who used to care about the queen in a lot and responded to all requests, was really chilled this time, no matter how the queen shouted heartbreakingly, he really didn't want to look back.
The queen thought that His Majesty was dead, dragged her heavy body and ran to your majesty, knelt down with a plop, Your Majesty was shocked, but did not attach herself to help her, just asked coldly, "What is the queen doing?" ”
The queen said stiffly: "The concubine is guilty and can no longer afford the title of queen, so I implore Your Majesty to let the concubine go back to Xiliang." ”
His Majesty shook his head: "It turns out that I have crowned you as the queen, and it is just a title that traps you for you. Then there seemed to be a flash of anger in his eyes, "But Xiliang has been destroyed by my sky, what are you going to do back?" ”
The queen knocked her head on the ground: "Xiliang has been destroyed, but the country has not been divided, and I beg Your Majesty to let the concubines go back to Xiliang." ”
"That's why you want to leave me?"
"The concubine has no face to stay by His Majesty's side anymore."
"Do you have the face to say, if I am in the sky for a day, it will be impossible to let you go back to Xiliang!"
The queen was completely disappointed, raised her head and grabbed Her Majesty's robe and said, "Xiliang has never had a bright day, and it is impossible to pose any threat to Tianyue anymore." ”
"You just cut off the idea of going back to Xiliang!" His Majesty pulled hard, and the queen was thrown to the other side.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine begs you......"
Only because the queen cried loudly and roared endlessly, His Majesty never looked back. For the queen, His Majesty was so firm for the first time, and so decisive for the first time. Finally, it was her turn to watch his back and leave, and she finally knew that she had always owed him a friendship.
The queen and Her Majesty's quarrel was soon known by the Queen Mother's eyes, and the Queen Mother was furious, taking the Queen Gui as the mother of a country, and could not understand His Majesty but made His Majesty worried, and punished the Queen for being grounded in Kunning Palace for half a month.
The queen was brainless and angry, this time she obediently obeyed her will, even if it was nothing to the queen who entered the cold palace, she wanted to thank the queen mother for this move, she just used this half month to think about her relationship with Your Majesty, and let the two of them calm down.
After all, the grounding is not entering the cold palace, and the palace maids' attitude and service to the queen are quite thoughtful, but everyone knows that the concubines of previous dynasties were grounded before entering the cold palace.
As soon as dawn we set off as a team, Chu Muxiu forgot about last night's events like a nobody, I was both annoyed and surprised, he forgot it, it was better than remembering.
When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first thing I did was to re-hang the portrait of my mother back in the dark room of the study, and I was relieved to see that the portrait was safe and sound.
Taking Xuanwu to the streets, he took my hand and looked around like the first time I entered the palace, curious about everything here.
Xuanwu ran in front of me and Mo'er, and from time to time he turned around and pointed to a certain place and said to us, "Sister, you see that person has a bowl on his head. Sister, Guan Gong's mask is so beautiful. Sister, I want to row. Sister, what's that? ”
I took Xuanwu to buy Songhua cake and sugar gourd, he grabbed Songhua cake with one small hand, and the other grabbed sugar gourd, stuffed his mouth so swollen that his mouth was red.
Xuanwu opened his bulging mouth and said, "Sister, this sugar gourd is delicious, and in the future, Xuanwu will make money to buy you a straw stick." ”
Xuanwu's words touched me a little, the person who bought a stick of sugar gourd for me was no longer with me, and I said to Xuanwu, "A straw stick of sugar gourd is very expensive!" ”
"Then I'll try to make more money."
After a day of shopping, the whole Huancheng was turned around by us, I asked Xuanwu if he was tired, and he said a little softly with his little short legs. I said to take him to a place where there were stories to listen to and tea to drink, and as soon as I heard that I could listen to stories, Xuanwu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
The place we went to was a tea shop, sat down and Xiao Er came to pour us tea, and the storyteller sat on the table in front of him and patted the board and began to tell the story.
What he said was the thing that made the entire Huancheng people happy in the past few days, and it was Tianyue who repelled the Xiliang people. I had experienced it myself, and I didn't want to hear it, but Xuanwu was so energetic that he insisted that I sit down and listen with him. Mo'er said that it was still early, and it was boring to go back to the house, so I also sat down.
Mr. Storyteller slapped the board on the desk with a snap, and said with his eyebrows fluttering, "It is said that the number of Xiliang soldiers is several times that of our Tianyue, although the Xiliang people are menacing, our Tianyue is not easy to bear." Everyone knows His Royal Highness King Yi, who is a household name, why is the god of war in Tianyue, not only both civil and military, but also first-class and good-looking, that is the dream lover of many noble ladies. Our Royal Highness King Yi rushed into the enemy's camp single-handedly, armed with a big sword, that is to kill one by one, to kill one by one, and to kill one by one......"
The storyteller said it as if he were on the battlefield. I sighed that I was ashamed, Mr. Storyteller really relied on storytelling to eat, and his verbal kung fu was a great achievement, and what he said was all up to his imagination. The number of troops of the Xiliang people is obviously smaller than ours, when did Chu Muxiu break into the enemy's camp single-handedly?
I used to like to correct the wording of the story, but now I just want to hear him talk nonsense and listen to him brag.
When I listened with relish, the boy at the table next to me beckoned to the person sitting with him while eating melon seeds, "Although we won the battle, we also lost a lot of troops. ”
As I listened, my heart began to tense, cold sweat began to break out on my forehead, the hand holding the teacup began to slide on the body of the cup, and my breathing began to become rapid, as if I had killed someone.
The person next to him echoed the son: "Who said no, that's the only son of the Lu family, I heard that General Lu hasn't been out for three days, so Mrs. Lu just cried and fainted, and she was sick for a few days." ”
"Doesn't this mean that Major General Lu is good, why are the other soldiers fine, but he is the one who died?"
"Who knows, there are no eyes on the battlefield, who would have expected it. It's a pity that a young man is gone, and before half of his life is gone......"
I couldn't take it anymore, so I rushed out of the door, and accidentally bumped into the boy's arm on the way, causing a plate of peanuts on their table to fall to the ground.
The man glared at me angrily: "You don't have long eyes, you can't see the road well when you walk!" ”
I was stunned for a moment and ran out without saying anything.
"Hey, what about you, you don't apologize if you hit someone!"
Mo'er followed me and apologized to that person for me, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something urgent happened in our family, and my young lady is anxious."
I walked out of the tea shop quickly, looking at the people coming and going, they sometimes turned their heads to look at me, and I was afraid that they would see it, but in fact I was not afraid to see it.
I walked faster and faster, and I ran faster and faster, and I ran farther and farther, and I didn't know where I was going to run to, where else could I run to?
