Chapter Ninety-Three: The End of the Trapped Beast (1)
At night, the news of Ling Kun's summary execution was transmitted back to the harem of Zhongshu. The mother of the country was belittled, the relatives of the country were beheaded, and Lianghong panicked the whole country, even when the Wang family fell. On this night, all the palace bedrooms in the harem were brightly lit. No one dared to rest, no one fell asleep, no one gloated, but no one went to plead with Xiao Xuan.
I went to Sushang Palace to visit Concubine Min Xian. Seeing that I was coming, she did not shy away from it, and continued to explain the pros and cons to Xiao Wangshu, persuading her not to get close to the queen again. I handed the wound medicine to Concubine Min Xian before leaving at the end of the song, told her how to make it, and looked at Xiao Wangshu with some resentment, consciously retired, and gave her a space for the mother and daughter to talk.
"Harukashi."
Since hearing what I said to the queen in the morning, Haruka Lu seems to have been holding his breath until this moment: "Do you think I'm terrible? ”
"Slaves don't dare."
Kneeling suddenly, he couldn't care about the wet and cold stone road in Maotong Garden, Yao Lu paused: "It's Yao Lu who has not thought it through, and he should be in front of Chang Di Ji, so that Chang Di Ji's injuries will not be discovered." Not only did it add new injuries to the eldest emperor, but it also made the eldest emperor in a dilemma, which was really a big mistake for the slave and maid. ”
She thought I was blaming her for it. I couldn't help but smile lightly, and I reached out to help her up: "Aren't you surprised that I said those words to the queen?" ”
"When the slave maid was in the Xianglu Palace, she heard Wang and Yaomei say that the queen was friendly with the eldest emperor on the face, but in fact, she was always on guard against the eldest emperor. Chang Di Ji also told the slave a few days ago, and the slave and maid themselves could see that Qu Yao was monitoring Chang Di Ji's actions. Although the slave maid didn't know the details, she knew that the eldest emperor was a good person. What's more, today's incident was not caused by Changdi Ji, it was indeed General Ling Kun's fault. The eldest emperor Ji has been wronged these days, and if she is a slave, she can't help but be sarcastic......"
Yao Lukou was straightforward, and before the words fell, he realized what he said, and he was busy lifting his skirt and kneeling. I hurriedly stopped her movements, raised my eyebrows and chuckled: "You're right, what are you kneeling decently?" I would also like to thank you for not telling anyone what I said. If others know about it, although it is not a matter of importance, it will inevitably be used by people with intentions. ”
"The priorities of the matter can be clearly distinguished, please rest assured that Emperor Yijing Changji." Ying Ying smiled, and Yao Lu helped me to go to the Mirror Flower Palace. I thought for a moment, and then whispered to her: "In the Mirror Flower Palace, except for you, the rest of the palace people are all the queen's people. ”
Facing Yaolu's surprised gaze, I motioned for her to be calm: "Go back in a while, you pack up the mattress and go to Shenbi Hall to sleep." When the queen falls, the emperor will definitely investigate it to the end. Not only up and down the Yongning Palace, but I am afraid that in this harem of the end of Shu, all those who are involved with the queen and those involved will not be spared. In the chaos, don't hurt you. ”
"Could it be ...... tonight" Yao Lu realized it later, and exclaimed: "No wonder the Elder Emperor Ji went to Sushang Palace in person, originally to remind Concubine Xian Niangniang and the Eighth Emperor Ji." ”
"Shouting that the wind and clouds have changed color and the sky is falling, shouting for so many years, it has finally come to this moment." I didn't say any more, I began to talk to myself, and walked forward slowly: "The person who taught me to keep my heart, the person who taught me to be forbearant and want my gentleman to take revenge, did you ever think of today? ”
I may ...... I have already lost my original intention.
Wash the court with blood, and sacrifice the dead with weeping. The clouds that have been diluted by the fishy smell all day long, and the dark red trickle that can be seen everywhere, clearly prove to the palace people, to the concubines, to the courtiers, and to the world that the rivers and mountains of Lianghong are no longer able to return to the peace of the past.
There was no need to retreat patiently, and Huan Ke led Hu Ru's army to drive straight in, breaking ten cities in a row. Zong Zhengxu represented Pan Ye and officially announced an alliance with Hu Ru to fight against Lianghong. Xiao Xianhui and the people in the Western Wilderness who had entered the city of Zhongshu broke out overnight, captured the gate of the city of Zhongshu, and joined forces with the rebel army that had been secretly lurking outside the city of Zhongshu, and used Zhongshu as the fulcrum to gather strength outward.
The news of the defection to Hu Ru was released at the latest, and came at the latest. Xiao Xuan was discussing with the only few remaining generals in the previous dynasty about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and everyone in the harem was in danger, and many palace people were frightened by the changes in Yongning Palace, and they all packed up like birds and beasts. I ordered Yaolu to go to Sushang Palace and bring Concubine Min Xian and Xiao Wangshu to Jinghua Palace to settle down. At this moment, the Mirror Flower Palace should be the only safe place for Lianghong. I dressed up carefully, put on the double skirt of the hundred bird feathers woven Shangfang given to me by Huan Ke, and wore Wanbao red lotus earrings in my ears, step by step, firmly and steadily towards Yongning Palace.
The palace gate is wide open, and the garden trees are swaying, as if the master has been prepared for a long time, waiting for me to come sooner or later. Carrying the skirt and slowly entering the main hall, the queen, as usual, sat in a high position, with a solemn expression and no panic.
"Yi Jing has seen the queen mother."
I saluted decently, and the queen opened her mouth for a moment, with a hint of imperceptible desolation: "This palace thinks that the first thing to greet will be to fall into the well." Who knows, but it is still the last to come first. ”
"In just two days, everyone avoided Yongning Palace far more than they should be attached to the Lu Palace." I replied softly, calmly: "The loneliness of the queen mother should have been predicted." That's why Ling Zhou came to visit. ”
"The queen said that Ling Zhou is a honey-bellied sword, and Ling Zhou didn't dare to agree."
After waiting for a while, seeing that the queen didn't speak, I opened my mouth to myself, as if I was chatting with her on a surite day: "Ling Zhou just followed what the old man said. Do not make the queen mother clean and lonely, nor let the queen mother be out of the dust. The ambition of Aoxue Lingshuang has a beginning and an end, and for many years, Ling Zhou has not dared to forget a moment. ”
The queen's expression gradually changed to confusion and nostalgia, and I only said it directly, without thinking about opportunities with her: "Ling Zhou can live to this day, thanks to the old man who rescued him back then." Ling Zhou can have today, thanks to the careful guidance of the old man back then. Therefore, Ling Zhou came here today just to repay the kindness of the year. Just one greeting, in the past five years, is the queen still okay? ”
“…… You are ......"
In disbelief, the queen unconsciously clenched the armrests of the seat with both hands. I bowed my head, raised my eyes, and smiled: "Didn't Qu finally tell the queen mother everything?" Two days ago, in the Qianxin Palace, wasn't the queen herself convinced? If the queen mother is still suspicious of Dou ......"
I have a great gift, and the words are clear: "The daughter of Ling Jieyu, the emperor of Lianghong, Xiao Yuemu, has seen the queen's mother." ”
"Xiao Yuemu?!"
Like five thunderbolts, shocking news, the queen's eyebrows frowned, and she said while thinking: "You are really Xiao Yuemu, you really escaped death and returned to Lianghong?" Lingyue ...... Lingyue? Lingzhou? …… You ......"
"The queen is worthy of being the mother of a country, and she is really smart." I was convinced, got up and clapped my hands idly: "Lingyue also wants to thank the queen mother, I didn't believe what the song said that day, and I didn't immediately expose Lingyue in front of the emperor that day." This enabled Lingyue to stay in this Lianghong harem for ten more days safe and sound after the death of Concubine Wang. ”
"These ten days can pay off the nurturing grace that the queen gave to Lingyue on the tenth day five years ago."
I whispered in a deep voice, and the queen rose in a trance, and in a few moments she fell as if she had lost her strength. I suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in my heart, but she interrupted me with a voice: "If I had known that year...... Can make you ...... today Perhaps, this palace will not recommend you as a hostage to the emperor. ”
At this moment, she is still so calm, so peaceful, as if it is none of her business, as if after tea and dinner. The anger in my heart was hard to control: "Yes, Lingyue should thank the queen for her great kindness." If it weren't for the queen's words and deeds, Lingyue would not have understood the truth that Jairian must be repaid. If it weren't for the queen's mother's ear, Lingyue would not have remembered the means of cutting grass and eradicating roots! It's just the queen ......."
I almost couldn't hold back my crying, and tears were already coming out of my eyes: "The plan of cutting the roots is just a matter of dealing with those who can make a comeback." Lingyue Niang is a weak female stream, with neither ambition nor the power to bind the chicken, why did the queen help Wang Gushan to kill them all?! ”
"If she exists, she is a curse."
Still indifferent and chilling, the queen patiently explained: "Your external identity is the only daughter of this palace." Then you can only have one queen mother in this palace. If Lingjieyu is known to outsiders, I don't know how many troubles she has caused. If you were ordered to pass under the knees of the palace, would you be so obedient? Will you not mention your mother? Will Wang Gushan be ruined so quickly? ”
She picked up the teacup that was resting at her hand and took a slow sip. I looked at her without saying a word, sneeringly. After a long time, the queen slackened her guard and became lazy and lazy: "Naturally...... Hongu is selfish. ”
"Do you know what the name of this palace is?"
"Yes, how do you know? This is a huge Lianghong, a huge end Shu, a huge harem...... How many people know? ”
The queen sighed self-deprecatingly and said with a smile: "The name of this palace is Lingshui." ”
"Ling Shui?" I frowned and repeated, she slowly shook her head: "It's your Lingyue's Lingyue, it's her Lingyu's Lingyu." The emperor suspected that the surname of the palace was superior, and he gave the whole family a homophonic surname. But the emperor promised the palace that he would always remember the name of the palace and would always cherish the word Lingshui in his heart...... But in the end...... This palace has entered this harem of the end of Shu, how to ask him not to use the word Ling as a title, how to listen to him evaluate these two words as lowly...... Because of your mother and daughter, you have disgraced the Bengong family, and it will be difficult for the Bengong to reveal your name...... How do you call this palace not hate! ”
"What you hate is the emperor's ruthlessness."
I coldly intercepted the queen's words, and saw that her face was instantly depressed and pale: "What you hate is that the original oath of the mountain alliance and the sea seemed to be unswerving to death, and in the end, the one who forgot this oath the cleanest was the emperor who swore at that time." What you hate is that you are not as important as you think, what you hate is the emperor's new love and old love, and you have never paid your true feelings. From beginning to end, you hated yourself and believed the original lies. ”
With a pop, the queen suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood. I stared at her determined face.
