Chapter 121: Power
Calmly straightened his hair and walked out, tears gone, expressionless.
When the two frightened guards saw her walk out so calmly, it was like seeing a ghost alive, and they rolled their eyes and were about to faint.
"What's your name?" Ask them calmly.
The guard patted his chest and waved his hand: "My good ancestor, go quickly, go quickly, don't ask, if you can come out alive, it is considered that our commander has a great kindness, what else to ask, leave quickly." ”
Calmly saluted them and walked back to the Division.
Kong Lingci was sharpening a sharp knife, and when he saw her walking back, there was a light of hatred in his eyes, but it was fleeting, put away the knife, and got up to greet her.
"Looks pale, is that bad news?" Kong Lingci poured her a cup of tea and asked.
calmly took a sip of tea and asked her: "Why are you here, you should be in the Shanggong Bureau, serving the new master." ”
Kong Lingci laughed: "In the future, you will be the master, wouldn't it be more useful to serve you than to serve Lord Shanggong?" ”
"The news spreads quickly." Calm down.
"This nature, a woman's mouth, like this autumn wind, there is only one wind, and it blows every corner of the harem in an instant." Kong Lingci said with a smile.
Before Kong Lingci's words fell, I saw several female histories walking in together, with a smile on their faces and gifts in their hands.
"What are you guys here for?" Calmly asked.
"Ah, Leng Si She, on weekdays, we have won the favor of adults, and thanks to the care of adults, we can do it safely in the Shanggong Bureau, but we have never had the opportunity to thank you in person, and now that we are free, we will come over together, thank you for your grace."
A woman with a long face commanded everyone to put the gifts on the table and smiled.
Calm and speechless, he nodded silently.
These women didn't leave, and a few more walked in, with the same expression, the same hand holding the gift, and saying about the same thing.
I didn't leave, and then I came again, and so on for more than two hours, it stopped.
Gifts have piled up on the table.
Calmly sat in his chair with an indifferent face, staring at these gifts in a daze.
Kong Lingci uncovered them one by one, and his mouth was full of voices: "I'm a good one, it's really enough to make a lot of money, pearls, agate, and jade, this is how much I want to climb high." ”
"Lao Kong, pick out the most expensive gifts among them, and remember the names of the people who gave them." Calm down.
Kong Lingci stared at her in surprise.
Calmly sipped tea and said in a flat voice: "If I develop in the future, I will reuse them." ”
Kong Lingci swallowed his saliva, was stunned for a while, plucked a golden hairpin from his head, and put it on the table: "This is the most valuable thing on my body, give it to you." ”
"Even if you don't send me anything, I will take you with me, you are my enemy, with an enemy like you by my side, I can always keep me vigilant and do what I have to do." Calm down.
Kong Lingci shuddered, and the golden hairpin in his hand fell to the ground: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I have money, endless money, but what does this money bring you? Nothing but disaster! So, what about power? If I had supreme power, would I be able to live freely and not be as powerless as I am now? ”
Calmly asked her.
Kong Lingci took a few steps back, stepped forward again, reached out and touched her forehead, and sighed: "You don't have a fever, you are crazy." An eight-grade division is delusional to have supreme power, even if the emperor really loves you, according to your background, at most you are just a concubine, a concubine, and it has nothing to do with power, but it is closer to death. ”
"So I will definitely take you, because although what you say is straightforward, it is reasonable, and with you by my side, I will definitely be wiser and stronger." Calm down.
Kong Lingci squatted down to pick up the deformed golden hairpin, shook her head, walked out, and continued to sharpen her knife.
Ordinary people take revenge, even if they succeed, they will not feel happy, usually they lose both, and if they die, they also hurt themselves.
Born humble, this is the greatest sorrow in life.
Kong Lingci's greatest inspiration from his desperate love is undoubtedly only this sentence.
A man dressed as a noblewoman walked in, but he did not have the spirit of a noblewoman, but hunched over his waist, like a shrimp.
Kong Lingci looked at it for a long time before he recognized that this was Guan Yong, the general's wife.
She was so thin that she was out of shape, and all that was left was a skeleton of bones supporting a huge-looking head, like a ghost, which was really scary.
Guan Yong didn't seem to see the people in the courtyard, and walked straight to the calm house, when she walked in, calm was drinking porridge, and the sound of drinking was delicious.
She came in, she sat down, and drank calmly without delay.
Guan Yong didn't speak, stared at her, and waited until she finished drinking the porridge and put down the bowl.
"Ma'am." Calmly wiped his mouth with a brocade and screamed, but he laughed and changed his words: "Now you should call Miss Guan Hui, your father is now the minister of humerus in the imperial court, I think you and the general's mansion have been cleaned up a long time ago." ”
Guan Yong pointed to his face and sighed, "I've been in for so long, and you haven't even looked at me." ”
"I know you." Calmly bowed his head and fiddled with his fingers, and replied.
"But you have to at least look at my face, I begged my father to see him, and my father gave me two ear scrapers, and now my ears are still buzzing, maybe I will be deaf." Guan Yong said bitterly.
The calm posture has not changed, and the tone of the voice has not changed: "So you came to the palace to beg me, and find a way to let you meet?" ”
Guan Yong nodded: "You're still so smart." ”
Calmly raised his head and stared at her: "I have the silver, I will give as much as I want, can you go and beg your father, let me see him too." ”
Guan Yong was forced by her to lean back and swallow hard.
"So, it's no use to have money, you can't do anything, you just wait to die, the more money you have, the more meat on the fish board, wait for someone to kill you, take it." Calmly sneered.
"You can't see him either? You go and beg the emperor, you and the emperor, the emperor and you。。。。。。 "Guan Yong is in a hurry, and his words are incomplete.
"Joke, Gao Zu has a good saying, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly. If you were the emperor, would you keep such a strong opponent? This opponent would threaten his throne at any time. Calm and cold.
"Calm down, the emperor is not that kind of person! The emperor is kind-hearted, although you are happy with each other, but you don't have much time together, you don't know him, he is by no means that kind of person. Guan Yong said urgently.
Calmly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Of course, he is not that kind of person, and the Queen Mother is not that kind of person, it is Sima Nan who is looking for death by himself, he wants to use his life to consolidate the throne for his younger brother, since he himself is so stupid, why should people refuse?" If you don't take Yangguan Avenue, do you want people to walk the thorny path? ”
Guan Yong stood up, his face a little distorted: "Calm down, how did you become like this?" You must have known about this arrangement for a long time, so why are you complaining now? The emperor will never kill his own brother, never! ”
"The emperor once gave you such a promise?" Calmly staring at her with blazing eyes, he asked.
Guan Yong swallowed his saliva and did not answer.
Calmly tilted his head, snorted, and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"There are some things, we think about the beginning, but we can't guess the end, we think that people are kind, blood is thicker than water, in the end, all this is fake, we are just a chess piece in the hands of others, used up, and then abandoned."
Guan Yong walked over, stretched out his hand and slapped Calm, and said angrily: "Wake up, no matter what kind of stimulation you have, you are not allowed to slander the Queen Mother and the Emperor like this!" ”
Calmly covered her sore cheek and sneered: "It won't be long before you understand that the person who should wake up is you, not me." ”
"The emperor doesn't let us see him now, he must want to protect him and save him, I believe that he will come back safe and sound." Guan Yong patted his calm shoulder hard, as if comforting himself.
His calm eyes slowly changed from rage to calmness, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, and spoke again: "I want to ask you one thing, on the night of the first emperor's death, did you prevent the people I sent to see Sima Nan?" ”
Guan Yong bit his nails, twisted his head to the side, and did not answer.
"It was you who have been installing people by Pei Shaofen's side, constantly provoking her hatred for the first emperor, making her finally become a sharp weapon in your hands, and finally killing the first emperor, right?" Calmly asked.
With a "bang", her nail broke in Guan Yong's mouth, she spit it out, took two steps back, and asked in surprise: "How do you know?" ”
"It's a pity that I knew it too late, I haven't been able to understand why Pei Shaofen, such a kind and upright person, would say such vicious words, it must be that you have been constantly provoking by her side, making her use herself as a tool for revenge." The calm voice trembled slightly.
Guan Yong snorted: "Calm down, don't put all the blame on others, if she doesn't have hatred in her heart, no matter how much others instigate her, she won't be fooled, right?" ”
"Guan Yong, the saddest thing is me, I always thought that I lived in the sunshine, I ran around and shouted, trying to eliminate the shadow in the yangyuan, but today I realized that I have been living in the shadow, and the shadow I thought was the ray of sunshine that I had never seen.
I was wrong, Sima Nan was also wrong, what Sima Nan exchanged for his life was just deception, everything is deception! Calmly said bitterly.
She believed that this was the last time she would feel this way, and she would never let herself feel that way again.
The price of her growth is too heavy, and it is the life of her lover.
"Calm down, you're crazy, you're really crazy." Guan Yong's face was full of sympathy, took two steps back, and kept shaking his head.
"Guan Yong, if you still have a little love for Sima Nan, don't tell others what I said today, wait, when the dust settles, you find that you are wrong, come to me again, and tell me again, I am wrong." Calmly said to her.
Guan Yong hung her head and burst into tears, she really wanted to tell Calm that she didn't just have a little love for Sima Nan, and her father slapped her, not just because she wanted to see him.
She pushed off the family affairs set for her, and told her father that even if Sima Nan had written a letter of resignation, she was still his wife, and she would be his wife for the rest of her life.
