Chapter 1: The Wedge

Next Chapter

The sky was gloomy, dark clouds covered the entire sky, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, like a piercing white line in the dark sky, and the vigorous scorching thunder exploded on the roof, like the roar of a demon.

A cold storm violently opened the window lattice of Fengluan Palace, and the breath of earth and grass and trees violently penetrated into the palace room, beating on the thin skirt of Qingyun.

Qingyun swallowed the blood that flowed from his mouth after being slapped by the queen, looked at a handsome man in a golden dragon robe in front of him, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, the concubine did not poison the queen!" ”

The queen's delicate face was white and bloodless, delicate like a devastated delicate flower, "The evidence is conclusive, do you still have to quibble?" Even the person you served close to you has confessed, and you still don't admit your guilt! ”

The queen's voice was weak and pitiful, causing the emperor to feel heartache, so he stared at the kneeling light cloud on the ground with an angry face, "The poison was found in your house, and your palace maid also testified against you herself, and the human and material evidence are there, what else do you have to say?" ”

Qingyun raised his head, a bright red five-finger print on his snow-white and clear face was dazzling, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes were full of sadness and self-deprecation, "Qingyun has followed His Majesty from birth to death since he was a child, and for His Majesty, he would rather set foot in this dark deep palace, endure humiliation and burden for His Majesty to plan for His Majesty, and have helped His Majesty achieve great things and ascend to the dragon throne, but now Your Majesty does not believe me!" Why? ”

The emperor's face was cold, and there was a thin anger in his eyes, "It's because you've been in this deep palace for a long time that you, who were originally loyal and pure, have become ruthless and filthy, and you've lost your heart!" ”

Qingyun suddenly laughed, but there was no shadow of a flower in her flower-like smile, only the endless sadness and tragedy, "Hahaha...... Now you would say such a thing, I am filthy and filthy and murderous, but who am I doing this because of! ”

The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying, like a layer of gloomy rain clouds, as if a thunderstorm was about to break out at any time, "Concubine Yun poisoned the queen and murdered the queen in the womb, and the crime deserved death, and she was sent to the cold palace to give wine." ”

Qingyun was desperate in his heart, he actually wanted her to die, he convicted her without even investigating this matter, and mercilessly gave her the death penalty.

"You want me dead! Hahaha...... It's ridiculous that so many years of love have summoned a cup of poisoned wine! Hahaha...... "Qingyun stared at the frosty emperor with red eyes, laughing tears, and I don't know if I was laughing at my stupidity and turning my life into a joke, or laughing at the emperor's indifference.

For a moment, Qingyun saw the hidden smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, it was a victor's smile, in this harem, she had seen a lot of such smiles, but how many of them really had the last laugh?

In the cold palace, the damp and damp are cold and dilapidated, which is incompatible with this prosperous palace, it seems to be another world, and this world carries the miserable and desolate fate of the harem woman.

The torrential rain wantonly hit the bare old locust tree in the cold palace that was almost completely defeated, and with a "squeak", the branches finally couldn't withstand the ravages of the wind and rain and fell, ending its dying life.

With the sound of wind and rain, the door of the cold palace opened, and a damp water vapor ran through the wind, making the room even colder and damper.

The queen was dressed in a costume surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and walked in proudly, she covered her nose with a handkerchief, and said with disgust: "Such a place is indeed not inhabited, Sister Yun is really wronged to come here, but soon you won't even be able to live in such a place!" Hehehe......"

Qingyun's clothes had become tattered because of the torture, and the dull blood stains crawled all over her dirty dress one by one, and she sat at the broken wooden table in the room, with her back to look at the queen's arrogant and smug face.

The queen waved her hand, and the eunuch walked towards Qingyun with a tray on top of it a pot of imperial wine and a gold cup inlaid with rubies.

The eunuch put the tray on the table and said in a sharp voice: "Concubine Yun, the emperor's reward, enjoy it slowly!" ”

Qingyun turned around slowly, looked at the queen with a happy and smug face, and said lightly: "You hate me very much?" ”

This sentence burned the queen's anger and hatred in an instant like a fuse, and she finally couldn't control her emotions and burst out with a fierce voice that was almost shattered.

"Yes! I hate you! If it weren't for you taking my identity, how could I have been kicked out of my house by my relatives and sold by human traffickers to be a slave, you made my life so miserable, how could I not hate you! ”

There was only a pair of eyes on the light cloud's dead face, and when the light of these eyes touched the queen, it seemed that a ghost fire suddenly rushed in, and it instantly became eerie and terrifying.

She stared at the queen, and a bloody laugh came out of her throat, "Hahaha...... You should know that it's not me who is in charge of all this, but your pillow man day and night! ”

The queen's heart set off a storm, and the shock in Xu is heart was too strong, so that she involuntarily staggered back a few steps, and forced herself to calm down: "You are talking nonsense!" That's impossible! You lied to me! ”

Qingyun's sad laughter was like the fabric of clothes that had been torn indiscriminately in the night, making a terrifying and piercing sharp sound, "Hahaha...... Does he say he loves you very much! He used to say that he loved me, and only loved me! But now I know that I am just a pawn in his hands, and when it is useful, he will do everything possible to coax it, and when it is useless, he will abandon it like now. ”

Qingyun suddenly grabbed the queen's sleeve and said gloomily: "Now you are useful to him!" Hahaha......"

The queen viciously shook off Qingyun's bloodstained hands and shouted like a roar: "You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! ”

Qingyun still didn't want to let her go, and his voice became more and more bleak and desolate, "He corrected the identity of the daughter of the great general for you, why do you think it is, but it is just to appease the family behind you, with you, the daughter of the real general, naturally there is no need for me, the daughter of the fake general that the previous emperor used!" You'd better pray for your family to be used for a long time, otherwise, maybe my today will be your tomorrow! Hahaha......"

The queen was shocked and angry in her heart, after hearing these words, her legs were already stunned, and she no longer had the strength to fight against Qingyun, so she fled and left in a hurry with everyone, and kept muttering in her mouth when she left: "No, no, no......"

The lonely lamp is always bright, but it can't withstand the darkness in the cold palace, and it can't warm the sadness and coldness in my heart.

Qingyun picked up the poisonous wine on the table, without a trace of remembrance, nor a little fear, only the deep remorse in his heart.

The crisp poisonous wine slid into her throat with a rich aroma, and she seemed to see the dashing young man who was always smiling, and when he laughed, he was so breathtaking, he could easily hook a woman's heart, but he would never smile at her.

And she still killed him with her own hands.

She's so remorseful!

She vaguely remembered the time when she was ordered to take on this task......
