Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Death of the Heart
In order to congratulate the Empress Dowager Liu on her recovery from her cough, the Empress Dowager issued a decree ordering the release of all sinners in the prison who had committed crimes due to negligence.
Kong Lingci happily came to pick up the calm and returned to the division to set up the division.
After calming down, the first thing I heard was that the general was going to marry Aunt Guan.
"Ah, although it is said that our Shanggong Bureau is only in charge of harem affairs, but the Queen Mother ordered, Aunt Guan is her old man's favorite person, and she has always been regarded as a daughter, so Aunt Guan's head jewelry and all the things to marry are personally responsible for our Shanggong Bureau."
Zhang Si set up a collection of the history of the women in the division and announced the incident.
"Aunt Guan is really a blessing, the Queen Mother has already recognized her as a goddaughter, and she has been named Princess Heshuo. The emperor gave her a princess's mansion and asked the general to live in the princess's mansion as a princess. β
Ruan Meiling said with envy.
"Calm down, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, this sentence is right to use on you, the Queen Mother personally named and asked you to make these jewelry boxes."
Zhang Sishe took a few patterns and threw them in front of Calm.
Calmly took the pattern and nodded in agreement.
"Be careful this time, if you make a mistake like last time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky." Zhang Si said coldly.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it with her." Sun Lingci held his calm hand and said loudly.
Zhang Sishe glanced at her and threw up his sleeves and left.
"Kong Lingci, last time you didn't get involved in prison, are you unwilling? The Queen Mother likes to be calm, not you, no matter how attentive you are, it's just for nothing. β
Ruan Meiling sneered.
Kong Nianci glanced at her indifferently, pulled his calmness aside and sat down, unfolded the pattern, and said with a smile: "The style is really novel, I heard that it is a style of foreign tribute, if you look closely, although it is novel, it is not difficult to do."
Calm down, you see, isn't it? β
Calmly put away the pattern and smiled bitterly: "Ling Ci, I have received your heart, and I will make the box myself." β
"Calm down, if I did it with you last time, nothing like that would have happened, you have two eyes alone, you can't always see flaws, it's different with me, although my skills may not be as good as yours, but after all, I have been doing it longer than you, more experienced than you, and I may be able to help you."
Kong Lingci said sincerely.
The calm heart warmed up, and he nodded silently.
"Okay, my Buddha statue is almost finished, don't be in a hurry, I'll study these boxes with you today, prepare the raw materials, and make it easy."
Kong Lingci smiled and went to get the wood tools.
Calm long exhale.
She really couldn't figure out why Sima Nan wanted to marry Guan Yong, his mountain alliance and sea oath, for her resolute death, still vividly, could it be that in a blink of an eye, he forgot it cleanly and fell in love with Guan Yong?
He must have a hard time, and she must ask him why he did this.
obviously said that they wanted to be together, why did they betray in a blink of an eye.
Xiaoyue walked in, called calm down and went to the Pearl Pavilion, saying that there was some activity in the cabinet door of Concubine Ying, and asked her to go over and take a look.
Calm followed her to the Pearl Pavilion.
Concubine Ying was teasing the little prince in the cradle, and when she saw her come in, she drank everyone away, and said with a smile: "Your strategy is really useful, but the palace didn't expect that the emperor would be so angry that he almost killed me, which was beyond my expectations."
Originally, I thought that I would win the emperor's favor by fighting to raise this child for the empress, but guess what? β
Calmly hearing the words, his calm face made some waves.
She just asked Concubine Ying to adopt the child, so as to please the emperor and the queen mother, killing two birds with one stone.
Since this child is the eldest son of the emperor, there is a great chance of inheriting the throne in the future, and his biological mother is dead, so Concubine Ying, the adoptive mother, will naturally become the queen mother.
If Concubine Ying succeeds in adopting the little prince, she will say a few kind words for her, saying that the injury on the little prince's leg was not pierced by the wooden thorns on the bed at all, then she can easily get away with it if she is calm.
But listening to Concubine Ying's words, things are not going as calmly thought.
"Calm down, in short, I won a big victory according to your plan, you were also released from prison, the two of us have our own place, I promised you, I will never break my word, I will speak for you in front of the Queen Mother, let you sit on the throne of the palace as soon as possible."
Concubine Ying said proudly.
Calmly wanted to ask her how things had developed, but after thinking about it, she might not be willing to say it, so she also gave up and thanked her.
"You don't have to thank me, I am lacking a talent like you, everyone will support each other in the future and live in peace and stability in this harem." Concubine Ying smiled.
"Thank you for looking up to the slaves." Calm and courteous.
Concubine Ying pointed to a small box on the table that looked old and ancient, and said with a smile: "You take this back, and make a new one for the Queen Mother and her old man, you know that the Queen Mother's hometown is in the Northwest Desert, this box was found by someone from outside the palace, and it is a jewelry box commonly used by women in the Northwest Desert.
I think the Queen Mother must want a box like this. β
Calmly put away the box and said goodbye.
Walking to the Imperial Garden, she saw the white dress standing in the secluded little pavilion she frequented from a distance.
She feigned indifference and planned to just walk over.
Because she really didn't know how to face him at this time, what to tell him.
She really couldn't figure out whether his actions were sincere or fake, and she didn't understand what he was calculating.
But he blocked her way, and did not let her go.
"Congratulations to the General." Calmly salute and speak.
Now what else can I say besides congratulations to him.
"What's the joy of?" His voice was hoarse and full of indescribable decadence.
"Thank you for liking me, congratulations on finding your true love." Said calmly and indifferently.
Sima Nan twitched in pain, reached out to touch her green silk, calmly took two steps back, and dodged.
"I didn't like you before, I only liked you in my life." Sima Nan said in a low voice.
In this case, calmness is all too familiar.
In her previous life, she had heard it countless times and believed it countless times, but in the end, the facts told her that it was all fake.
"Then thank you for liking me, and I wish you and Guan Yong a happy marriage." Calm down.
"I marry Guan Yongγγγγγγ" Sima Nan opened his mouth and calmly interrupted him:
"Did you marry Guan Yong for me?"
Sima Nan choked.
"You only like me one in your life, but for me, you have to marry another woman, you have to marry another woman and have children, your heart is given to me.
I know that, so what's wrong with me wishing you and her a happy new marriage? β
Calm and fast.
She was tired of hearing this kind of lie, and she listened to it almost every day in her previous life, but she didn't expect that it would be the same plot again.
She really wasn't interested in listening to it anymore.
"Calm down, I'm γγγγγγ" Sima Nan didn't know how to explain it anymore, and calmly seemed to know everything?
But how would she know?
"General, I understand that love and marriage are two different things, and love can cross classes, races, and even life and death.
Marriage is not good, marriage must be the right family, must be financially equal, marriage has nothing to do with love, lovers and wives are different concepts, right? β
Calmly said again, his voice was cold and desperate, and his face was expressionless like that.
Sima Nan was speechless.
It took him two days and two nights to think of all the words, but when he really faced her, he couldn't say a word.
No matter what the reason, it is a fact that he and Guan Yong want to marry.
He thought a thousand times that he was going to take her away.
But Calm clearly said that she would not elope with him.
He wanted to tell her the truth that he married Guan Yong to save her life.
But he didn't think he would believe that this would be the truth, let alone calm who didn't know anything.
Calmly knowing the facts, I am afraid that he is a big traitor who can put the emperor in the air, in order to save a little female history, can he sacrifice his marriage?
He felt that he had no way to make Calm understand the ins and outs of this matter, which made him desperate to die.
"Calm down, do you think that I am such a traitor, even the emperor has to listen to me, I can cover the sky with one hand, and do whatever I want?" Sima Nan asked her.
Calm flashed his eyes, not wanting to answer.
She wasn't young enough to believe such words.
But she really couldn't figure it out, with his ability, why couldn't even a small female history of the Shanggong Bureau be saved?
If he has a hard time, why don't he tell her, he has to lie to her with these lies.
She wanted him to retort loudly to her, saying that the truth of the matter was not what she said it was at all.
But he didn't refute a word, does that prove that she guessed all right, so he was speechless and couldn't make it up?
"Calm down, I'm sincere to you, I know you don't believe what I say, because we haven't known each other for a long time, because I say a lot to you but do little, you don't believe me, I can understand.
But in the future, you will always understand my heart, and when you understand my heart, we will leave together and live a happy life all the time. β
Sima Nan said in a dumb voice, looking at her with expectant eyes, hoping that she would hear the reason why he wanted to marry Guan Yong.
Calm down but turned away.
Her turn was so cold, her back looked so resolute.
Sima Nan kept staring at her back, expecting her to turn around, even if it was just a moment.
But she just walked like that, and didn't look back at all, as if there was no such person standing behind her as if there was no such person behind her, as if she didn't know that there was such a person behind her who had been standing and watching her leave.
And calm, although he thought in his heart that Sima Nan's words were all lies, he still messed up.
Obviously, he was going to walk back to the Division, but he walked into the woods behind the Imperial Garden, and the more he tried to go around, the more he couldn't get out, as if he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
"It's you, how did you get here?" The Nine Emperor Zizhang held his rabbit and appeared in front of Calm.
