Chapter 1: Death with Hatred
On the sixth day of the third year of the lunar month, heavy snow fell overnight, and on the second day, the entire palace was shrouded in snow.
At this time, Hanyang Palace was warm.
Hanyang Palace is made of a rare jade, which can maintain a fixed temperature, and was specially built by the emperor for Empress Chunxian.
"Your Majesty is really sincere to the queen mother, just because the mother accidentally frostbitten her hand last winter, Your Majesty gathered hundreds of craftsmen and spent millions of silver taels to build Hanyang Palace."
"Yes, Niangniang was accidentally knocked by the threshold of the imperial study, Your Majesty made people raze the threshold, Niangniang wanted to eat Lingnan's lychee, and His Majesty sent the lychee into the palace day and night. It is said that the Son of Heaven is ruthless, but this Majesty values love and righteousness and favors one person. ”
"The queen has a good heart, the evil woman treated the mother like that back then, and the mother also interceded for her, only such a woman is worthy of His Majesty's affection."
Jing Ning listened to those discussions, and couldn't help but pause when he lifted water.
She was wearing a thin middle coat, which was dirty and patched, and had no effect of keeping out the cold at all, so she could barely hide her shame, barefoot, her feet were covered with chilblains, and pus flowed, and her face was also crisscrossed with scars, and her skin and flesh turned out, which was very terrifying.
The palace ladies passed by her, covering their noses and showing disgusted expressions.
"Why isn't this disgusting old woman dead!"
No one remembers that she, the old woman, was the emperor's wife.
The emperor threw her, a married wife, into the cold palace and tortured, is it love and righteousness?
Queen Zheng Xiuning came here every once in a while to torture her, is she kind-hearted?
She wanted to laugh, but she didn't even have the strength to laugh.
Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying, this name that used to be slightly sweet in the past, but at this time, it is a hatred that is thick into the bone marrow.
Jing Ning's thoughts were a little fluctuating, and some memories came flooding over like a tide.
In the sixth year of Jingtai, Zhao Ying, who was still the third prince, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, but her father refused to marry Zhao Ying.
"The third prince is cold by nature, does not miss the old kindness, and is not a good person."
She didn't listen, and almost wanted to elope with Zhao Ying, but finally got what she wanted.
On the night of the wedding, Zhao Ying took her hand and said, "Jing Ning, Zhao Ying has only one wife in his life." ”
In the eighth year of Jingtai, there was a sudden flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the three princes were washed into the flood, and the officers and soldiers could not search everywhere, and when it was almost concluded that he was dead, she walked along the river embankment for three days and three nights and dug him out of the mud and sand.
Zhao Ying woke up, threw herself into her arms, and cried regardless of her image: "Jing Ning, Zhao Ying's life is yours." ”
In the ninth year of Jingtai, Zhao Ying and the sixth prince Zhao Duo launched the final battle for succession, and she and her young son Ayin fell into the hands of Zhao Duo and used to threaten Zhao Ying.
On the top of the city tower, Zhao Duo's knife was on her neck.
Under the city tower, Zhao Ying was riding on a horse, and the two looked at each other.
"Jing Ning, as long as you ask me to put down my sword, my soldiers and I will immediately put down our swords and surrender." Zhao Ying shouted at her.
How could she bear to let him lose what he had been fighting for and be infamous against?
Jing Ning hugged Ayin and turned around and jumped off the tower.
The mother and son were in great trouble, and Zhao Ying hugged the two tightly into his arms and made a promise.
"Jing Ning, I will fight for these now, and I will give them to Ayin together in the future."
The old thing was like a dream, Jing Ning never thought that the first thing Zhao Ying did when he ascended the throne was to abandon her and put him in the cold palace in the name of unchastity. married her sister Xiu Ning, became the queen, was named Chunxian, and was pampered in every way.
The two stood in front of her like beautiful people.
"Xiuning, is my queen."
When Jing Ning thought of such a scene, he felt that he couldn't breathe.
She walked slowly in the snow, and every step was extremely difficult.
Jing Ning carried the water back to the cold palace.
Footsteps rang out.
The graceful and gorgeous woman walked in with her lips covered, and kicked the water over with one kick, and the cold water splashed Jing Ning's body, quickly forming ice.
"It's freezing this day, and I'm afraid that my sister will freeze, so I'll take a look." Zheng Xiuning said with a calm face.
Zheng Xiuning was wearing a big red jacket, the blue skirt tail was dragging on the ground, and among the layers of wrapped clothes, only a small face with exquisite makeup was revealed, which was different from Jing Ning's embarrassment.
Zheng Xiuning was holding a whip in his hand, and it was thrown on Jing Ning's body with a 'snap'.
The pus was cracked, the skin was opened, Jing Ning's body shrunk into a ball, and he couldn't feel any pain anymore.
When Zheng Xiuning was in a bad mood, he would come to beat her and get angry, as long as she took off her clothes, the ravines on her body were full of whip marks.
This is her favorite sister.
Jing Ning thought about it and felt particularly ridiculous.
She has a lot of regrets in her heart.
When the Yang family took Zheng Xiuning to the door to recognize her relatives, her father asked her opinion. At that time, her father hurt her into her bones, if Jing Ning shouldn't, Zheng Xiuning's mother and daughter would not be able to get started. It was Jing Ning who looked at the orphan and widow and was moved with compassion.
Zheng Xiuning was born petite, she protected her like a baby, who bullied Zheng Xiuning, she pounced on her like a fierce little beast, eager to tear the other party.
There seemed to be a lot of people who bullied Zheng Xiuning, and gradually, Jing Ning's reputation for being barbaric and fierce gradually spread.
The father did not like it, and the family was disgraced.
After Jing Ning married Zhao Ying, he had little contact with his mother's family.
Only Zheng Xiuning ran to the palace every day and sent things he had carefully prepared to please her. At that time, Jing Ning felt more and more that he didn't hurt Zheng Xiuning in vain, and the two almost ate and lived together.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, Zheng Xiuning sent her a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Sister, I'm pregnant with my brother-in-law's child. Sister, I was wrong, the prince was drunk that day, and I couldn't push him away...... The prince wants me to kill the child, but the child is innocent......"
Later, the child was gone.
When the child was gone, Zhao Ying rushed into the room and hit her for the first time.
"Jing Ning, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
Since Zheng Xiuning had a child, Zhao Ying felt sorry for her and treated her even better, almost obediently. And that time it hit her.
Looking at Zhao Ying's angry and almost hideous face, Jing Ning's heart turned cold little by little.
In fact, the thing she regretted the most was that she shouldn't have run out secretly on the Shangyuan Festival that year. That year, in the red lanterns, Mo Shangren was like jade, she walked by the river, bumped into a person, and then raised her head, and fell into a pair of eyes that were as bright as a galaxy, and lost her heart ever since.
The name Zhao Ying was engraved in her heart, and she could no longer wash it off.
The cold wind blew in, and Jing Ning came back to his senses from those broken memories and couldn't help but shiver.
Zheng Xiuning looked at her condescendingly, and a strange sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. The prime minister's concubine, who was loved in the past, is not now prostrate at her feet?
"Sister, I've been thinking about old things lately, and my sister must have a lot of doubts in her heart, so I'll solve my sister's doubts today.
Does my sister still remember that in order to stand up for me, my sister pushed the county lord of Danyang down the steps, causing the lord of Danyang to fall to his death, almost causing disaster for the family, and was rejected by his father since then?
Actually, the injuries on my body were not the main ones in Danyang County, but I took the scissors myself and stabbed them one at a time. When the county lord of Danyang fell, she didn't die, but I covered her mouth and nose......
And my sister has always wondered why I ate the pastry made by my sister, will the child in my womb be gone? Because I added a little bit of something to that pastry. ”
So it turned out to be like this!
Jing Ning wanted to cry and laugh, she was so stupid!
"Sister, before Your Majesty ascended the throne, Lingnan rebelled, Your Majesty and my sister said goodbye, why were you so cold to your sister when you returned?"
Why?
Jing Ning's chapped lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.
After Zhao Ying and Xiu Ning were discovered by her, Zhao Ying tried her best to make up for it, and there was already some separation between Jing Ning and Zhao Ying. But it was at that time that the real rupture was made.
The night before, the two were obviously very close, and on the second day, Zhao Ying locked her up, refusing her to go out or seeing Ayin.
"When Your Majesty left, he promised his sister to return within a month, and after quelling the rebellion, he came back quickly, and killed twelve horses, only to come back and see his sister lying under someone else......"
"That night was not ......"
"Of course not, that's the man my sister specially chose for my sister." Zheng Xiuning covered her lips and chuckled.
So that's it!
Jing Ning's eyes widened, and a light of hatred burst out in his eyes, glaring at Zheng Xiuning.
Zheng Xiuning...... It's really ruthless!
"Sister, don't look at me like that. You will make me can't help but gouge out your eyes, and when you don't have eyes, what do you think of Zhao Yin? ”
Ayin ......
Ayin, her child, her flesh and blood, she hadn't seen her for three years.
Three years ago, Ayin had just learned to walk, and now she should be a naughty child.
"It seems that my sister is quite cold, and this palace has brought my sister a tool for heating."
Zheng Xiuning's voice fell, and a man with an obscene description walked in from outside.
Jing Ning guessed what she was going to do, and her face changed: "Zheng Xiuning, you can kill me, but you can't insult me like this!" ”
Zheng Xiuning smiled gently: "If my sister's body warms up, how about this palace let you see Ayin?" ”
See Ayin......
As long as she can see Ayin, she can do anything.
Jing Ning stood there, the whole person was like a puppet, and the man with the obscene description got up and went up, and his disgusting dirty hands touched her skin.
Ayin ......
Ayin.
Zheng Xiuning laughed wildly, laughing so much that tears came out.
Ten years ago, she was the beloved concubine of thousands of people, she was a lowly born concubine, and she needed to rely on her to live, ten years later, she became an abandoned woman in the cold palace, and she was the most noble woman in the whole world, and she could control her destiny arbitrarily.
The wind is getting stronger.
A child walked in from outside.
"Mother's ......"
Jing Ning's body suddenly froze.
Ayin! Her Ayin! Can't let Ayin see himself like this!
Jing Ning didn't know where to get the strength, pushed away the man on his body, and shrunk into a ball tightly.
Jing Ning looked at her child almost greedily, her eyes were reluctant to blink, white and tender childish, her eyes were moist, and she looked like a doll in a New Year's painting.
"Ayin ......" Jing Ning stretched out his hand towards the child.
"Mother."
Xiao Tong walked towards Zheng Xiuning, hugged her thighs, and said coquettishly: "What is the queen mother doing here?" It's cold. ”
Jing Ning only felt that his whole body was about to explode.
Her children don't know themselves, but treat Zheng Xiuning as their mother!
All this must be Zheng Xiuning's conspiracy, she can't wait to rush up and strangle Zheng Xiuning!
Zheng Xiuning smiled even more.
Zheng Xiuning picked up the child, pointed at Jing Ning and said, "This woman was originally your father's wife, but she did such a shameless thing behind your father's back, Ayin, what do you think should be done?" ”
Ayin has always admired his father, and said in a childish voice: "* Harem, it should be killed." ”
"If Ayin kills her, your father will definitely praise you for being an adult."
Zheng Xiuning put a dagger in Ayin's immature hand: "Ayin, go kill her." ”
Ayin took the dagger and walked towards her.
Zheng Xiuning is really ruthless.
He asked her children to kill her!
Jing Ning's whole body trembled.
No!
Ayin is still so young!
Died at the hands of his beloved child...... This is the most painful thing for a mother.
If Ayin kills her, it will be a mother-killer, and with such a crime, it will not pose a threat to Zheng Xiuning's child at all.
She won't let her children live in such fingering, and she won't let Zheng Xiuning succeed.
Jing Ning took one last look at Ayin and slammed into the pillar!
Warm blood came from her head and quickly went cold. The snow fell heavier and heavier, falling on top of her, soon covering her.
Jing Ning's eyes were always open.
Her life was full of regret and pain.
If you do it all over again-
She won't fall in love with Zhao Ying.
She will not be estranged from her father for the sake of Zhao Ying.
She wants Zheng Xiuning to bear her suffering today!
Jing Ning's death, in this palace, did not cause any waves, for the palace people, it was the disgusting old woman who died.
Hanyang Palace.
The empress nestled in the emperor's arms and inadvertently talked about it.
"Your Majesty, the woman in the cold palace couldn't bear the loneliness, had an affair with the eunuch, was bumped into by Ayin, and committed suicide by hitting the wall in shame."
The emperor stroked the hand of the empress's hair for a moment, and Junyi's face was a little cold, and he froze there for a long time, then got up in his clothes and sat in the atrium all night.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the bright girl, on the Shangyuan Festival, through the bustling sky, crashed into his arms.
He suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and he couldn't help but squat down. The chest cavity was empty, as if a piece was missing.
