Chapter Ninety-Nine: Choice
The news that Zhao Yue hanged himself in the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau, Calm and Kong Lingci were the last two people to know about the Shanggong Bureau.
Ruan Meiling watched Zhao Yue's body be collected by the eunuch and put into the coffin and pulled out of the palace gate, before running to the prison to tell the two of them about it.
Kong Lingci clapped his hands and said: "The wicked still need the wicked, we can't cure her, someone will always cure her." ”
Calmly let out a long sigh and did not speak.
It's not a happy thing for someone to die, no matter whether the person is good or bad, in fact, in this harem, there is no strict sense of good and bad people, right?
Calm doesn't dare to say that she is a good person, but if she is a bad person, she herself is not reconciled.
"Si Shi, this is a strange thing, you said that this man is so decent, why did he hang himself? It is said that she has just been promoted, so she shouldn't think about it. ”
Ruan Meiling shook her head suspiciously, asking calmly.
"She committed suicide in fear of sin, you girl, are you illiterate? Her top ten crimes have been posted at the gate of the Shanggong Bureau, and corruption alone is enough to punish the nine clans, not to mention serious crimes such as killing people for drug tests. ”
A cold voice sounded behind Ruan Meiling.
Ruan Meiling hurriedly turned sideways and avoided the side, kneeling down to greet her.
Concubine Ying walked past her with her sleeves half-covered, came to the prison door, stared at her and said calmly: "Thing, I've done it, it's really good, the Queen Mother really looks at me differently now."
Look at the hairpin on the head of the palace, it is the heart and liver treasure that the queen mother has been wearing, and now it is also rewarded to me.
Naturally, I also cared about your business, and mentioned it to the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother didn't agree immediately, I guess it's not far from ten.
As for breaking the incense burner and hurting the old prince's daughter, I also found out, and the sinner's suicide note also explained that she did it in order to frame you.
It won't be long before you are released. ”
"The mother is wise." Calm down and give a little salute.
"Okay, I told you the good news, I should also go, the ancestor is still waiting for me to go over and pick out the clothes to wear in the ceremony." Concubine Ying said lightly, held the girl's hand, turned around and left.
Ruan Meiling heard Concubine Ying say that she would be released immediately, so she clapped her hands happily and said, "My lord, I'll go back and clean up the house, wait to greet you, and then go and prepare two peach branches, and sweep away the bad luck before entering the door." ”
"Go, go." Calmly waved at her.
Ruan Meiling smiled and left.
Kong Lingci shuddered violently, his face turned pale, he glanced at him calmly, and said in a low voice: "This woman is really powerful, but in just two days, she will kill people." ”
"If a woman is ruthless, there is nothing to do with men, but there is no chance." Calmly sighed.
Kong Lingci raised her forehead and sighed: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be able to spare her, you heard her say that you want her to pick out clothes." ”
Calmly pursed his lips, his face was melancholy: "Lao Kong, do you think the Queen Mother will spare us?" There are some secrets that only the dead know to rest assured, and the secrets of the Queen Mother are precisely such secrets. ”
Kong Lingci lowered his head, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "From the day I knew this secret, I didn't plan to live, as long as the emperor and their mother and son can live peacefully, for me, it is the greatest happiness." ”
"Even if you die at the hands of the Queen Mother, you have no regrets?" Calmly asked.
Kong Lingci nodded: "One more person knows the more danger there is, if I were the queen mother, I would do the same, there is no one who loves children more than parents in this world, and the queen mother just wants to protect her son."
It's in line with my heart's desire, so I wouldn't blame her. ”
Calm down and smiled bitterly in his heart.
The Virgin Mary is really not made up by human beings, there really is such a human being in this world, and she is fortunate to be the most such one in her three lives.
calmly touched her heart and asked herself how much she loved Sima Nan, but unfortunately her heart didn't give her an answer.
"Calm down, have you ever asked yourself, if you and Sima Nan have to die alone, who do you want to die?" Kong Lingci asked her.
Calmly swallowed her saliva, in fact, the answer was already in her mouth, but she still pretended to think about it before answering: "I think I will choose me to die and let him live."
Because I'm a selfish person, I don't want to bear the pain of having to live without him. ”
"You are really hypocritical, you love him clearly, but you want to say that you are so unbearable." Kong Lingci said with a smile.
"It's true, that's what I thought. It's easy to die, but it's hardest to live. He said calmly and seriously.
Kong Lingci flashed his eyes and nodded silently.
Sima Nan, who had already walked into the cell and was about to come over and tell him that he could leave calmly, heard the conversation between the two with excellent ear power, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to move and it was difficult to move an inch.
He was busy leaning against the wall to the side, slowly sliding along the wall and falling to the ground, groping for a pill from his bosom and stuffing it into his mouth, swallowing it with great difficulty.
The expression on his face was clearly despairing, but it was unwilling.
He had already made up his mind to put calm in the back position, so that he could go to the guillotine with peace of mind.
But when he heard the words of calmness, his heart suddenly fell into the void, and the pain was terrible.
Calm is obviously inseparable from him, although she has never said this, never shown it like this.
Even if you want to leave a stink for 10,000 years, even if you want to die in the world, you have to be with her.
Sima Nan endured the long distress and thought.
At this moment, all the major events in the world and Master Liao's will have been left behind, and I just want to take my beloved woman and go far away, regardless of gains and losses, and without asking about the consequences.
"General? What are you doing sitting in front of this empty cell? Mama Jiang walked in, saw Sima Nan, and shouted from afar.
Sima Nan stood up and arched his hand at her: "Today, this cell is lively, people are coming one by one, I don't know what grandma is coming, what are you doing?" ”
"What else can I do, the matter of the incense burner has been investigated, the queen mother ordered me to give the truth to the emperor, since the original culprit has committed suicide in fear of crime, I think the old prince is also angry.
Didn't I come over to see Leng Sishe, who was innocently locked up, just now the emperor has issued an order to release the two of them. ”
Mama Jiang said with a smile.
"I see, then Mama Jiang, please, I'll lead the way in front." Sima Nan made a gesture and led Mama Jiang towards calm.
Mama Jiang sighed, and then smiled again: "The general has a lot of opportunities, so you don't have to worry about these little things, just go alone." ”
"I've come here, it's not good to go back, so I just send my mother to the end." Sima Nan smiled.
Mama Jiang pursed her mouth slightly, and followed him to the calm cell.
Sima Nan took the key and opened the door.
Mama Jiang walked in, didn't wait to be calm and salute, grabbed her hand, shook it twice, and said with a smile: "I have wronged you in the past two days, the Queen Mother asked me to comfort and appease you for her, and said, when she is busy with the things in front of her, she will make a banquet to dispel your bad luck." ”
"The Queen Mother is really merciful." Calm flattery.
"Silly boy, don't say that, get out of this filthy place with the old man." Mama Jiang said, took her hand, couldn't help but say, and led her out of the cell.
Sima Nan and Kong Lingci followed.
As soon as they came out of the prison door, two palace maids held peach branches in their hands, lit water from a copper basin, and sprinkled them on them.
Calmly walked in front, coldly sprinkled all over her body, the palace maid shook the peach branch, to sprinkle it on Kong Lingci behind her, calmly unfolded her sleeves as if unintentionally, covered the spilled droplets for Kong Lingci, and said with a smile:
"What I didn't have before, suddenly this whole place, bluffed me."
Mama Jiang took the peach branch in the palace maid's hand, sprinkled a burst of water heavily, and said with a smile: "The queen mother said that there are too many bad luck things in the womb this time, and it is also appropriate to talk about the rules." ”
"Mama Lao bothered." Calmly salute her.
Mama Jiang smiled and nodded, handed the peach branch to the palace maid, and spoke: "The queen mother is still waiting for the old body to reply, you go back quickly, have a good night's rest, there will be good things tomorrow." ”
nodded with a calm smile, and took Kong Lingci's hand and left.
A few drops of water were thrown onto Sima Nan's silver belt, which came out later.
One of the guards beside Sima Nan suddenly pointed to his belt and shouted: "General, your belt!" ”
Sima Nan lowered his head, and the place where the water droplets on his belt were turned black!
His eyebrows jumped, and his hand holding his saber showed a bruised look as dark as the black spots on his belt.
"General!" The guard called out to him in a low voice.
Sima Nan waved his hand and asked them all to retreat, and he followed calmly from a distance, watching her go all the way back to the division's room.
Calm and not afraid of poison, he knows, but he just doesn't feel at ease, he wants to watch her live like this all the time.
"Calm down, the Queen Mother should promise you to treat the emperor, and you will definitely be able to cure the emperor?" Back in the room, Kong Lingci asked her with a cautious smile.
Calmly and slowly took off her wet clothes, as if she hadn't heard what she said.
Kong Lingci saw that her undressing movement was surprisingly slow, and she wanted to come over to help, so she dodged away calmly and violently, and Kong Lingci almost fell down after bluffing.
"What's wrong with you? Afraid of what? Kong Lingci stood firm and asked puzzled.
Calmly ripped off a silver hairpin from his head and rubbed it on the wet clothes he had just faded on, and the shiny silver hairpin instantly turned black.
"Oh my God, it's poisonous!" Kong Lingci screamed, sat down on the chair, his face pale, and trembled.
Calmly smiled bitterly and sighed.
It's one thing to think about it, it's another thing to really face sudden death.
Kong Lingci can say death so calmly, but when death really came, she was so panicked.
"Calm down, it turns out that you are wrong, your path will not work at all, and if you want to change the dynasty, the only way is war."
Sima Nan pushed the door in, cold eyebrows and eyes, and a cold voice.
Calmly, who was only wearing underwear, was startled, quickly hid behind the curtain, and put a long gown on the bed on his body, before asking, "How do you know what path I want to take?" ”
"I just know that you want to cure the emperor, let him abdicate automatically, give up the throne to Zhang, and solve this palace dispute without blood, isn't that so?" Sima Nan's heartbroken voice.
Calm was a little discouraged: "It turns out that you always knew my plan. ”
