Chapter 59: Your Wish
The picture was suddenly switched to Mengchen again.
The maidservant named Mengshi was reporting to Mengchen what had just happened in the main hall.
Meng Tangtang took a closer look at the surrounding environment, and it turned out that Mengchen was in the prime minister's mourning hall at this moment.
Mengchen knelt in front of the spirit of the late prime minister in filial piety, burning paper money while listening to Mengshi's detailed telling.
The maidservant girl named Mengshi had a solemn look on her face, as if she felt worthless for the prime minister.
Mengchen looked indifferent, as if he had expected everything a long time ago.
After that Mengshi reported everything that should be reported, he angrily scolded Qin Zheng for two very unruly words.
Mengchen didn't show some expression until this time, she frowned and stopped Mengshi, and taught Mengshi a serious lesson.
Mengshi cried aggrievedly, and then ran out of the mourning hall with her mouth covered.
Mengchen looked at her figure running away, and just let out a long sigh.
Just then, a man dressed as a butler walked in.
He handed Mengchen a roll of bamboo slips, and then withdrew without saying a word.
Mengchen opened the bamboo slip with doubts, and then knelt there and looked at it carefully.
Meng Tangtang floated behind her at this time, and then followed her to watch-
This is another suicide note.
This is the prime minister's suicide note to Mengchen.
Meng Tangtang took a look at it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
Because this suicide note explains in detail the cause of the prime minister's own death-
He turned out to be 'suicidal'.
The prime minister said in his suicide note: As his power in the court grows bigger and bigger, those subordinates who follow him actually have the idea of helping him to ascend to the throne. Among these subordinates, some of them have such thoughts because they feel worthless, and some of them have such thoughts for the sake of giving themselves a better future. The prime minister has been suppressing the ambitions of his subordinates, but those careerists have gradually become uncontrollable recently, and he has no choice but to deliberately buy murder and assassinate himself.
The main reason why the prime minister told Mengchen the truth was that he hoped that Mengchen would not misunderstand Qin Zheng, and he hoped that Mengchen could love the king as always.
At the end of the suicide note, the prime minister begged Mengchen to take good care of Qin Zheng.
……
Mengchen took the bamboo slip and looked back and forth twice, and then threw the bamboo slip into the brazier.
Before the bamboo slips were about to be completely burned, Mengchen bowed heavily to the prime minister's spiritual position three times.
She should be expressing her determination to the prime minister.
Meng Tangtang, as a God's perspective, was actually quite chilled when he saw this scene.
Cheng said to Qin Zheng that he hoped that he would not pay too much sincerity to Mengchen, and he even asked Qin Zheng to sacrifice Mengchen when necessary.
Then the prime minister begged Mengchen here to love the king well.
If Mengchen knew the truth, would she continue to be loyal to the prime minister?
Meng Tangtang thinks, probably yes?
This Mengchen is so stupid, so even if she knows that the prime minister is using her, she won't hate the prime minister, right?
She may also have to thank the Prime Minister for giving her such an opportunity to die for Qin Zheng.
Because even if the prime minister doesn't plead with Mengchen, Mengchen will take good care of Qin Zheng.
Because what she is loyal to may never be the prime minister, what she is loyal to may have always been Qin Zheng, and what she is loyal to has always been her pure love for Qin Zheng.
……
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mengchen did not return to the palace immediately.
She asked the coachman to park the carriage under the castle tower, and then she took out a man's coat from the carriage and got out of the carriage alone.
At this time, snowflakes drifted in the sky, and Mengchen hugged Da Yu and stepped on the steps of the stairs step by step with a relatively clumsy step.
At the end of that staircase, a familiar figure appeared.
Qin Zheng, who was wearing the costume of the Great Dynasty, was standing alone on this high city tower at the moment......
The biting cold wind blew mercilessly on his face, and the flying snow fell on him wantonly, but he stood there as if he was unconscious...... Stood there motionless.
Meng Tangtang's heart suddenly hurt.
She felt so sorry for him.
She felt sorry for him, he was obviously a Ninety-Five Supreme, but there was not even a person around him to shelter him from the wind and snow.
If she could, how she would like to walk up to him at this time and give him a little warmth, even if only a little.
But she was just a touch of consciousness, she didn't even have a body.
…… OK......
Fortunately, there is still Mengchen here.
Even if there is no one by Qin Zheng's side, at least Mengchen will always be there.
Holding the dream dust of Dayu, he walked behind Qin Zheng in the snow.
She raised her hand to stroke the unmelted snowflakes that had fallen on him, but she remained quiet and undisturbed.
On the contrary, Qin Zheng opened his mouth first, and he asked her in a hoarse voice: "Do you also think that I am ungrateful?" ”
Mengchen continued his movements, but did not answer the question.
Qin Zheng continued to ask her: "When you came to me last night, did you also suspect that the death of the prime minister had something to do with me?" ”
Mengchen draped the big sword in her hand over his body, and then she walked up to him, looked at his face and shook her head.
She said, "I just wanted to go and see how you are." ”
Qin Zheng's brows couldn't help but move, and then he smiled coldly: "The prime minister who has been against me has passed away, how can I be bad?" ”
Mengchen stroked his eyebrows with some difficulty: "I know you're not good, maybe you can fool everyone, but you can't fool me." ”
Qin Zheng suddenly held her hand, and then he said, "I know that I can't hide it from you." ”
Mengchen smiled shallowly, and then she suddenly frowned again.
Meng Tangtang thought, probably because the hands holding her were too cold.
Qin Zheng looked beyond the dream dust and looked outside the city tower: "When I was ten years old, it was also on such a snowy day, the prime minister once took me to climb this city tower, and at that time he told me that he hoped that I could rule the world, and he hoped that there would be no more wars in this world, and every citizen could live and work in peace and contentment...... It was from that time that his ideals became our common ideals. ”
"I knew that in order to realize this ideal, there would definitely be a lot of sacrifices along the way, but I never thought that the first sacrifice would be the prime minister himself. Although I am sad, I must do everything he explained before leaving, even if I am misunderstood by the ministers, even if I am scolded by the people for being ungrateful, even if I am written as a 'tyrant' by the historians, I will not hesitate to do it. ”
"As long as ......"
"No, you can't."
Mengchen, who had been silently warming Qin Zheng's hands, suddenly interrupted him with a voice.
She shook her head: "I can't bear you to be misunderstood by history. I can be a 'demon concubine', but the king must live as a great emperor who has no ancestors before and no one after him, this is the prime minister's greatest wish in this life. ”
Qin Zheng slowly turned her head, and her other hand gently covered the hands she was holding.
When they looked at each other, he asked her, "What about you?" ”
"What is your greatest wish in this life?"
