Chapter 151: The Old Face
There was a cold wind slowly pouring in with the sound of the door opening, Zhong Yuxiu didn't raise his head, but he also knew that he was coming.
"You're here."
Her gaze was as calm as water, without a ripple.
"Yes."
He responded to her in a deep voice, with endless pity in his eyes, "Yu'er, how did you end up like this?" ”
She didn't hear it, just shook her head lightly, and said indifferently, "Sit down." ”
Qin Bozhi didn't seem to see the filth on the tables and chairs in the cold palace, turned around and sat next to Zhong Yuxiu.
"Thank you for coming to see me at this time."
Bo Zhi immediately lowered his gaze, "You don't have to say thank you to me." ”
Yu Xiu glanced at him, and a trace of tears flashed in the corner of her eyes, "Because of my father, I'm afraid you won't be happy in the Tai Hospital." ”
Bo Zhi's tone was heavy, but he still reluctantly said, "It's just that I can't treat my master anymore, and it's not sad." ”
"Brother Hiroyuki, I'm sorry." Yuxiu gradually lost her look, biting her lip and churning slightly, "Your life has been dragged down by me after all." ”
Bo Zhi's eyes were filled with tears, and he said softly, "Don't say these words, I'll see if there is any other way to save you from here." ”
Yuxiu could hear the comfort in his words, but her heart could only be sad.
She is the emperor's abandoned concubine, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to save her from the cold palace.
"I don't believe you'd do anything like that." Bo Zhi lowered his eyes for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Back then, only Xiao Yu and Du Zhong knew the truth of the matter, Xiao Yu is dead, but I will find out Du Zhong and let him prove your innocence." ”
"It's useless." Yuxiu's tone was indifferent, and she exhaled softly, "The emperor hates me, why not just such a thing?" The matter of cinnabar can still be proven, but I can't escape from the murder of the emperor's heir. ”
Bozhi's eyes were slightly dark, and there were faint tears in his eyes, "Yu'er, you are also confused." ”
"yes, I'm confused." A tear slowly slipped from Yuxiu's cheeks, "It's a pity that I'm blessed, my family is in the middle, and the emperor has nothing to worry about, so he put me in the cold palace." ”
"Yu'er ......"
He wanted to say something more, but the words were all on his lips, and he could only choke up.
"Brother Bozhi, your sincerity is wrong after all." Yuxiu's eyes were hazy with tears, she raised her eyes from the tears to look at Bozhi, but what she saw was just a cold, "I'm sorry, it's me who covets the glory and wealth of this palace, I want to be the most noble woman in the world, so I insist on entering the palace, it's because I can't stand you......"
Bo Zhi's eyes were heavy, and he looked at her with a pulse, "I thought you didn't know ......"
"How could I not know?" Yu Xiu suddenly raised her head, tears welled up, "Brother Bozhi, since the first day you stepped into the gate of the Zhong family, you have been protecting me for so many years, as soon as I entered the palace, you invited yourself to the palace to be the imperial doctor, I pretended to be okay on my face, but in my heart, how can I not understand your good intentions?" ”
Bo Zhi cast his eyes on her, hiding countless thoughts, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, "Yes, in addition to the love of brother and sister, I also have an unspeakable relationship for you." But you are going to bloom in this place where you belong, you have great ambitions, how can I forcibly keep you by my side. ”
"But after all, I lost you." Yuxiu's eyes were compassionate, and she unconsciously burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Brother Bozhi, I also calculated against you." When the first queen gave birth to the eldest prince, it was me who did it, and I was sure that you wouldn't tell Sister Shushen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault......"
"I don't blame you." Bo Zhi Wen ran for her with a clump of broken hair scattered around her sideburns, "No matter what you calculated about me, I won't blame you." ”
Yuxiu choked up instantly, "But I've done so many wrong things......"
Bo Zhi's eyes were clear, and he looked at her calmly, "You will always be the original in my heart." ”
Yuxiu suddenly showed a shallow smile, and in the hazy eyes of tears, she suddenly saw that when Bozhi first walked into the gate of the Zhong family, she and her brothers were standing upstairs, looking down curiously. Hiroyuki raised his head, and with just one glance, his gaze fell on her.
Yuxiu smiled shallowly, and tears gradually blurred her vision.
"Brother Bozhi, after I die, you must help me take care of my children, Yue Rongyuan is married, although she hates me, but I am her mother after all, Yun Wei is still young, and he has a mother like me, which is also a drag on him. I don't pray that he can be the crown prince, as long as this life is spent safely, I will be relieved. ”
Bo Zhi held her dry and rough hand, and said in a deep and firm manner, "Don't say such stupid things. ”
"I don't have long to live, I know it in my heart." Yuxiu turned her head resolutely, and her complexion slowly faded, "Although it was the queen who harmed me, I also harmed her child, and it is fair for me to go to the fourth prince with my life." But she still let you see me, and I'm already content. ”
She held Bozhi's hand back and said with a slow smile, "Brother Bozhi, if there is an afterlife, I will never enter this palace again, I am willing to live a dull life, husband and children, in this way, it will be fine." ”
Bo Zhi stared at her deeply, wanting to speak, tears fell first, "I will wait for you." ”
Yuxiu smiled lightly, like a delicate flower blooming on her lips.
She is so beautiful, even if she is in the cold palace, her beauty has not lost any of it. She raised her eyes and watched the sun sink in the west, and knew that this last moment was coming.
Yuxiu smiled slightly and gently let go of his hand, "Brother Bozhi, you go, I'll watch you go." ”
"Yu'er ......"
"Let's go, don't look back at me."
Yuxiu was a little tired, she looked up at him, and her eyes were clear.
Bo Zhi had to hesitate any longer, but Yuxiu had already gently pushed him, "Let's go." ”
He hesitated slightly, with tears hidden in his eyes, and he turned to his feet and looked back three times in one step.
Yuxiu watched his figure fade away, and in an instant, she suddenly ran to the door and called out in a lost voice, "Brother Bozhi!" ”
He suddenly looked back when he heard the voice, and she smiled darkly, "You have to take care." ”
He nodded heavily, and the figure gradually disappeared around the corner of the cold palace.
She looked at him for a long, long time, and the tears finally dripped uncontrollably.
Her last gaze was his ethereal white clothes, just as they had been when she was young.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd be willing to choose again.
In May of the eighteenth year of Yongchang, the door of Taoyao Palace was suddenly slammed open, and the loud noise shocked Chang'an and Chuluo.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, it's not good! The lady lady has come out of the cold palace! ”
The little eunuch kept claiming that Zhong Yuxiu was "Concubine Niangniang", Chu Luo couldn't help but be angry, Huo Ran got up and said, "I said, the Zhong family can't get out of the cold palace unless he dies, why don't you stop her!" ”
The little eunuch kowtowed in fright, and only said, "The lady concubine is dressed in a dress, her face is fearless, and the slaves are ...... Minions...... Don't dare to stop it......"
Chu Luo glared angrily, "Where did she go?!" ”
"I went in the direction of the castle tower......
Chang'an's heart was empty for a while, and she suddenly grabbed Chu Luo's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, let's go and see it first." ”
As soon as Chu Luo bowed her head, she immediately looked back at Wanxiang and said, "You go and watch the Fifth Prince, no matter what happens, you must not let him come out." ”
Wan Xiang was relieved and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”
Zhong Yuxiu was dressed in a crimson gold and silver silk brocade robe, combed into a cloud bun with thousands of strands of green silk, wearing a beaded crown on her head, and a red gold and red hosta diagonally, floating in the breeze, blowing her long skirt that dragged to the ground. Her gaze was cold, without half a minute of temperature, step by step, slowly walking up to the city tower.
Chu Luo looked at her, his face was pale, and even his voice changed tone, "You still don't want to stop her!" ”
As soon as the four guards received the order, they immediately ran to the castle tower.
"Don't go!" The weak aura on Chang'an's face gradually dissipated, and she looked at Zhong Yuxiu on the city tower from afar, and clearly saw the compassion and determination in her eyes.
A woman like Zhong Yuxiu will have such a day after all.
The guards listened to the queen's order and did not dare to act again for a while. A trace of gloom flashed in Chu Luo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Empress, this ......"
"Your Majesty, you can't stop it." Chang'an said indifferently, his face was slightly gloomy, "Let's go with her." ”
Zhong Yuxiu on the city tower stood at the top, feeling the cold wind blowing in her face, she looked down and saw many familiar faces.
Chu Luo, Shen Chang'an, Shen Changle, Zhou Ruohua......
She closed her eyes heavily, feeling the warmth of the last moments of her life.
It seems to be back to that year, she danced in the city, and I don't know how many talented people she was fascinated by.
At that time, everyone said that the virtuous concubine was favored, and only Zhong Jieyu could compare with it.
She is in the limelight and is in the prime of life.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.
She has seen so many lives and deaths in the harem, Li Shushen, Jiang Wanran, Zhao Nanyan...... Finally, she also has her own destiny.
She smiled and jumped over.
Between heaven and earth, the red clothes are ethereal, and the vermilion is a river.
She lay there, the smile on her lips warm and soft.
In the courtyard, Shen Changle folded a green peach, frowned shallowly and said, "Zhong's sting, what did the emperor say?" ”
Yixiang responded indifferently, "The emperor didn't say anything, he only claimed that the Zhong family was crazy, and there were not many people under the city tower that day, and the emperor was not allowed to spread the word." ”
Changle smiled coldly and broke Bi Tao's branch, "She jumped down from the city tower in front of so many people, did she hurt the royal family's face, and the emperor didn't blame her at all?" ”
Yixiang's eyebrows swelled with a trace of amazement, and her face tightened, "The slave maid listened to the princess Hai in front of the emperor, and instead of blaming the Zhong family, the emperor did not blame the Zhong family, but for the sake of the face of the fifth prince, he restored her position, and still posthumously named the concubine. The funeral was also done according to the rules of the four concubines. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Changle's brows immediately frowned, "The emperor has already abolished her position, how can she still be posthumously named a concubine?" ”
Yi Xiang shook her head in confusion and said, "The sacred heart is unpredictable, and the slave and maid don't know it. ”
"That's it." Changle sighed lightly and said quietly, "This palace is a concubine in the end, there is no need to worry about a dead person, or the most important thing is to look at life." ”
Yixiang understood, bowed her head, "What Niangniang said is very true." ”
