Chapter 259: After the Seal, Part I.
"When planning against others, it's best to see if there is anyone around."
The smile on the faces of the two of them froze, and they looked sideways at me Yingying walked towards them, their faces turned pale.
It took them a long time before they came back to their senses, and one by one they knelt on the ground, trembling and said, "The concubine sees the virtuous concubine."
"How dare you accept such a big gift?" I walked up to them, my voice was still the same, and I lowered my eyes to scan the two people on the ground who were already in a cold sweat, "What did you hear in this palace just now?" Who is said to have an adulterous affair with Lord Mu? ”
"Concubine, concubine is made up casually......" Li Guiren's whole body began to tremble, as if he regarded me in front of him as something more terrible than a jackal and a tiger.
Looking at their frightened looks, my face suddenly turned pale, "Nonsense? How qualified are you to make up nonsense in this harem? The volume increased in an instant, lingering back and forth in this lonely and uninhabited corridor, "Ning Xiang, give the palace a palm." ”
"Yes, sissy."
Ning Xiang took the order, immediately stepped forward, and gave Li Guiren a mouthful. With a crisp slap sound, the beautiful nobleman tilted to the right fiercely, hitting the vermilion stone pillar, and the muffled sound spread all around.
Immediately after, Wu Jieyu's scream continued to echo everywhere.
I frowned, watching the nobleman's forehead hit the stone pillar, and the blood poured on it, slowly falling from below, dyeing the snow-white ground with a large red patch, and my heart was shocked.
Li Guiren carried her back to the dormitory under the hands and feet of the servants, and I didn't follow her, let alone worry about her injuries, because she was self-inflicted, and wanted to slander me for having an adulterous affair with Mu Tianyan.
I am not a soft-hearted person, others respect me a foot, I respect others, others harm me once, I will pay back a hundredfold.
The soft place in my heart is only for those I care about, such as my younger brother Tianyan.
When I heard that Li Guiren was plotting to spread the news that I had an adulterous affair with Tianyan, my heart immediately skipped several beats, I really couldn't imagine what impact this matter would have on me and him if this matter was spread.
Although the pure ones are self-purifying, who can block the mouth of this secluded crowd? If I can believe these four words, then why is there such a rumor in the heart of peace that everyone avoided in the first place!
Some things are spread too much, and naturally some people will believe them, especially the darkness and power struggle in this palace, I have long been taught, to survive in this place for a long time, you can only let others not survive!
Tianyan has just come back from the battle, if it causes any chaos at this moment, I am worried that Xiao Jincheng will do something.
Late at night, Ning Xiang came with a message, saying that it was Yeon
Li Guiren's injuries were no longer serious, and the emperor went to visit him in person.
Visiting the lady in person? The noble lady will surely slander me in front of him, and if I am not mistaken, he will come here at once to question me.
Sure enough, the arrival of the emperor confirmed my suspicion, I got up to greet him, and before I could stand firm and see the person in front of me clearly, I heard his questioning voice, "What did the noble lady do to make you so angry that you dragged her to the stone pillar?" ”
Xiao Jincheng's faintly suppressed anger still couldn't hide his anger at this time, I know that he has always tolerated me.
I'm still waiting for when it will be his limit......
I'm still waiting for the time when he won't be able to tolerate me anymore.
However, was it Li Guiren herself who said that I dragged her towards the stone pillar?
Hearing his questioning, I chuckled, I didn't expect this person to really be able to say that he was dead, and I really couldn't compare to her in terms of lip service.
With a faint smile, I pondered how to answer his words, whether to deny the sin of Liguiren's desires, or to directly inform him of Liguiren's desire to spread the story of my adultery with Tianyan?
However, I should choose the latter, so that no one will dare to make a big deal about it.
When I was about to speak, his face was already covered with a layer of frost, stared at me indifferently, and said in a complicated manner, "Xin'er, don't take my tolerance for you as your capital for bullying the harem concubines. ”
My lips gradually closed as he said this, and my hands and feet were a little cold.
Is this a warning to me?
His gaze locked on my face, lingered for a moment, and then turned silently to leave. But I shouted faintly, "Jincheng, is this the last limit of your tolerance for me?" ”
His steps froze in place, and he didn't look back, and I looked at his back, waiting for him to speak.
And he was silent for a long time before he sighed, "It's not tolerance, I've been loving you with all my heart, and I love you as the most important person in my life." ”
After that, he didn't stop and stepped out of the threshold.
I immediately chased a few steps, but stopped at the threshold, and finally leaned weakly against the palace gate, watching his resolute and arrogant figure gradually move away from me......
The wind is gradually blowing, the night is coming, and my heart is mixed and extremely desolate.
To this day, your words are still so beautiful.
What is left of our love now? I think it's just the last debt, the last hatred......
Ten days later, Mu Tianyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was named the prime minister of the dynasty, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition.
After many days of arguments and the emperor's insistence, today's canonization decree and gold seal purple ribbon have been sent to Zhaofeng Palace, and the servants in the palace rushed into the dormitory with a smile when they saw the arrival of the holy decree and asked me to go out to receive the decree.
I was not as happy as I imagined when I heard the news, and I ignored the minions who were already kneeling behind me and asking me to accept the order, but leaned alone in front of the bronze mirror dressing table and combed my hair.
Fengling Xia Phi, exquisite jade, golden phoenix hairpin.
Looking at the elegant and graceful but obscure face in the mirror, I suddenly slammed the jade comb in my hand to the ground.
The minions behind him all fell to the ground tremblingly, and Ning Xiang stepped forward cautiously and said, "Niangniang, the holy decree has been passed outside the hall, just waiting for you to go out to receive it." ”
I glanced at the jade comb that had been broken in half with my sharp eyes, and then looked at the minions who were lying on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer......
It has been ten days since Xiao Jincheng left Zhaofeng Palace in anger last time, and he has not set foot here again, and I have not gone to see him again.
What is the current post-sealing decree and the golden seal purple grant sent here? A responsibility? A promise? A sense of guilt? I should go out and take that holy decree, I have been looking forward to this day for half a year, and now that it has come, I don't feel it at all, I even feel that I am very despicable, I feel that what I am doing is so unbearable, and now I seem to be the same as Xiao Jincheng used to use me.
When did it start to change? It was the beginning of the retreat after the return of the empty hall.
Every day and every night, I remember every word that Master Jinghui said to me, and I can't sleep peacefully every night, as long as I close my eyes, all that comes to my mind are the people who have suffered because of me. Zhitao, Chunlan, Xinyue, Mrs. Qi, Shen Jieyu and Li Guiren are entangled in my mind every day and night, thinking back to the past, I actually killed so many people with my own hands?
Although the current position belongs to me, I don't think there is anything wrong, but I have found that I have changed, more ruthless than before, cold-blooded and ruthless, as if now I have been blinded by hatred, my hands are stained with human lives, and I am burdened with blood debts.
Although I used to be very kind, I would never take the initiative to harm others, I was so yearning for freedom, unrestrained, do whatever I wanted, always find another way, and never care about the eyes of outsiders!
But now it seems that I can't find it anymore, only the evil woman who chased power and swore revenge.
That's what I want? Losing oneself in hatred, and even abandoning the basic principles of being a human being.
Even if you lose this half of the country, what will happen after that? Is it revenge for the child? Will you be happy? With hatred always in your heart, why not try to forgive? In this way, you can be your original self, so that you can be liberated.
Madame ignored the crisis of the country at this time, and still created chaos for the emperor, wanting to destroy half of the country, do you know how much of a threat this will cause? How innocent are the people? Does Madame know what great love is?
"!" Ning Xiang called again.
I jerked down the delicate earrings that hung from my ears, and because I pulled them so fast, my ears were filled with pain.
But I didn't feel any pain, and took off the purple gold phoenix crown, and suddenly the green silk was scattered like a cloud on the side of my neck and hung down to my waist, and finally took off the queen's clothes with the cumbersome thousand-pleated phoenix color skirt on my body, and let them fall to my feet, leaving only a thin and cool light gauze white dress on my body.
Seeing this scene, Ning Xiang exclaimed, "Niangniang! What do you do? ”
I didn't answer, but walked past the minions, walked to the basin full of water, scooped up, and splashed the bone-chilling water on my face.
The water washed away the thick fat powder on my face, and in an instant I felt that the whole person was relaxed.
I smiled at the reflection in the clear water, and I hadn't smiled so easily for a long, long time......
Poor Ni looks forward to Mrs. having time to come to Kong Ming Hall to sit again, and Poor Ni wants to relieve your demons.
I thought, it's time for me to meet Master Jinghui, I need her to relieve my demons.
Now I can no longer bear to be haunted by nightmares every night, waking up every night, and always feeling around me in midnight dreams of people who have been killed because of me.
I always tell myself that they deserve their deaths, but my heart still can't be calmed.
Now my spirit is not as good as before, and I am afraid that if I continue like this, I will really have a nervous breakdown.
