Chapter 7: The Snow is Cold and the Plum is Exhausted

The two of them were not very far away from Qingfang Garden, and after a while, Su Mi followed the old road and returned to the garden without danger, hiding in the crowd.

Everyone was already exhausted, most of them were dozing off next to the trees, flowers and stones, and the few who were awake were all emaciated and distracted, and no one would be in the mood to meddle in their affairs and pay attention to a eunuch with a raw face.

Su Mi still sat down under the tree.

After a while, I heard the laughter of several loud Liao soldiers in the distance, "Count your kid as meritorious, and next time there is a good messenger, count you first." You don't have to fight against stones. A bearded Liao army carried a large jar on his shoulder, and his free other hand patted Xiao Luzi's shoulder and smiled.

The rest of the people were also carrying the wine of the big altar, and Su Mi recognized that it was a long time ago because she occasionally mentioned that she wanted to drink, and Xiao Luzi and the few jars of wine they received from the Internal Affairs Office. After receiving it, his interest was gone, and he kept it in the corner of the warehouse and did not move.

A few people passed by, and Xiao Luzi inadvertently turned around and saw Su Mi, and his face suddenly changed color.

Moving the wine jar into the main hall, Xiao Luzi found an opportunity to run out.

"Master, why are you ......" Seeing that no one around was paying attention, he asked anxiously and in a low voice.

"It's nothing, something just happened, I let Prince Yu go first," Su Mi comforted: "It will be arranged after he goes out, and I naturally have another way to leave." ”

"I see, I said that the prince is not such a ruthless person. I won't leave my master behind. Xiao Luzi gently patted his chest and sighed.

"You won't leave me," Su Mi's heart moved, thinking about the scene when he jumped off the palace wall with herself during the day, originally she thought he was an absolutely practical and indifferent person. Remembering the promise he had whispered in her ear just now, her heart couldn't help but feel hot, and she shook her head slightly. Turn your face away.

The next day, the Liao army came to distribute the palace people. The little leader of the Liao army counted when he spoke, and sent Xiao Luzi and several people, including Su Mi, to serve the generals of the Liao army, compared to most people who were about to go to the city to work as coolies, it was a world of difference.

The snowflakes in the sky began to fall again.

Since last night, although the snow particles are small, the snow has been continuous, sprinkled with forests, and now it has been covered with a thick layer.

Su Mi looked out of the corner window where the servants were resting. His eyes stayed on the corpse in front of the courtyard that had been placed for two days and one night.

Because of the cold weather, her face did not change at all, but a light layer of frost formed on it, making her pale skin become as if it were as clear as ice and snow, and looking through the layers of snow curtains, it was as gorgeous and clean as jade.

Su Mi's thoughts were fluttering, and she couldn't help but recall the scene two days ago.

Fengyi Palace, the most central and solemn palace in the harem, naturally became the dormitory of the commander of the Liao army.

That day. Su Mi was brought in to serve with several internal eunuchs, and perhaps these people who had experienced the wars and slaughters would be eager to enjoy all that they had to offer in the countries they had conquered, whether it was women, gold and silver, or the daily luxuries.

Su Mi and the others walked into the main hall and saw that many concubines in the harem of Daqi were all standing in the hall. On the seats on both sides are the high-ranking generals of the Liao army. The table was full of wine and meat paste. At this time, none of their attention fell on the fine wine and food in front of them, and their greedy eyes were impatiently staring at the red face and jade in the hall, and the flowers and moons. From time to time, he whispered and commented on a few sentences, and the foul language continued. A few concubines who were close to the ground were already frightened just by listening to such words, and they wept in low voices.

After a while, Ye Luxin, the commander of the Liao army, arrived, his face was full of red light, and his expression was happy. He still hugged a girl in blue clothes in his arms, with a slender figure and graceful and moving.

She was whispering something in Jerodsin's ear. Jerexim laughed at her. She turned her head as she reached the middle of the temple. Graceful and smiling, delicate and charming. It was like a bright moon in the sky, shining brightly, and in an instant, the spring color in the room was dimmed.

It turned out to be Shi Rou'er, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, she has lost a lot of weight, but I'm afraid that in the past six months, life in the palace has been very unsatisfactory.

After the two of them sat down, Shi Rouer raised the wine jug entwined with golden flowers and filled the jade cup in her hand. The pair of slender jade hands are softer than the wine glass of mutton fat and white jade, and more moving than the golden wine jug.

She handed the wine glass to Ye Luxin's hand, and her every move was tactful and fragrant, rippling and shining, and there was no difference.

The eyes of all the generals couldn't help but fall on her, "It's really hard to be a top beauty, the king is really blessed this time." "No, no wonder I woke up so late today. Su Mi heard two Liao people close to the ground muttering quietly. The sound of a few particularly lascivious Liao people swallowing saliva could reach Su Mi's ears.

After the coach took his seat, everyone's expectant eyes fell on him.

Yeluxin took the wine handed by Shi Rou'er, drank it all, swept his eyes, looked at the anxious appearance of the generals in the field, laughed out loud, and said: "This king knows that you are in a hurry now. Yesterday, you were not allowed to move this group of women, because I said a long time ago that these women have the best qualifications, and they will naturally be distributed according to military merits. Today in this great hall, I will assign these women out. ”

"How noble is my palace concubine of Daqi, how can you and other barbarians insult her?" As soon as Jeresin's words fell, a haughty and beautiful voice sounded.

Su Mi, who was standing in the corner of the room and fiddling with Xiao Luzi with the stove, didn't need to look up to know that with such a proud and solemn tone, it must be the queen.

"Hmph, your Great Qi has long since perished. Where else is there any great Qi? Now you are just a bunch of women who have lost their country and no owners. Jerichin replied unconcernedly.

"Who said that we are all dead?" The queen's eyebrows raised, she looked contemptuously at Ye Luxin, who was sitting high on the platform, and looked at the Liao army generals who were eyeing her, "Now that our emperor of Daqi is leading his troops to conquer Nanchen in person, he is about to conquer Nanchen, and the class will return to Beijing, when the time comes." Are you opponents who are trapped both internally and externally? ”

"Haha. When Jereshin heard this, he laughed as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes, "Do you still think that you incompetent waste emperor has a chance to come back?" Stop dreaming. Now that he can't protect himself, where can he have the kung fu to save you? ”

There was a low and frightened cry from the concubines in the hall.

The queen's expression did not waver in the slightest, "You are also a barbarian general, don't you know that we Han people have a common saying that 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers'." Our Daqi has a vast territory, how can gains and losses be confined to one city? You say that we have destroyed the country in Daqi, but in addition to this capital, you have also been to our Daqi place? Have you captured our city in Daqi? ”

Ye Luxin seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Hmph, it's just an ignorant woman, don't think that our Liao people's iron cavalry is just trapped in a small capital?" ”

Ignore his words. The queen smiled confidently and said, "We have been a great country for many years, our ancestors have fought and killed, and we have experienced many thrilling defeats, how can we be defeated by your temporary invasion?" Not only our Emperor of Great Qi, but every one of our people of Great Qi will not sit idly by and watch the invasion of your group of robbers. ”

"Haven't you Qi invaded other countries? They also claim that we are robbers. A Liao army general in the seat raised his voice and asked.

The queen smiled calmly, "Our Great Qi is naturally also conquering the Quartet. Martial arts are world-renowned, and there are countless women in those countries who observe etiquette and etiquette, and although they are enemy countries, I also respect and admire them. ”

"Even if you admire them, it was your Qi country that forced them to death. ”

The queen smiled lightly: "I don't know about national affairs, I only know my husband and country." I only know that my Wang Ningqiu, as the queen of Daqi, married the king of Daqi, ate Daqi's Yulu offerings, was honored and honored by Daqi, and was loved by the people of Daqi. We must not fall into the majesty of our great qi. What does it have to do with other countries? ”

The Liao army general was dumbfounded for a while.

"You Han people often say that those who know the practice are handsome, and now these words are just right for the occasion. If you don't want to serve our Da Liao, do you want to die? Yeluxin said mockingly, looking at the concubines behind the queen.

The concubines were swept away by his gaze, and they all lowered their heads timidly.

"The national gift must not be mourned, you hairy and blood-drinking savages, how do you know what is the integrity and shame? If you want us to serve you bandits, don't even think about it. The queen smiled contemptuously.

Yeluxin was furious by what she said, he stretched out his hand to grab Shi Rou'er, and said with a smile: "Now, haven't you Daqi Didi palace concubines already served our Daliao soldiers?" ”

An imperceptible trace of disgust flashed across Shi Rou'er's face, and then she regained her composure and coquettishness.

The queen glanced at her contemptuously, "Shameless people, who don't know etiquette and self-love, how can they be worthy of being my concubine?" It is also difficult to match the temple of the Upper Society after death.

Hmph, Sheji Zongmiao, what am I going to do with such a nihilistic thing?

There was a contempt in Shi Rou'er's eyes, and she held the wine jug high and slowly poured wine into the jade cup, while laughing softly: "The king must not compare the concubine with the queen's mother." The mother is extremely noble, how can I achieve it for a humble woman like us. Saying that, he raised his wine glass and said softly: "The king still doesn't want to persecute Niangniang, Niangniang is actually a reasonable person, as long as the king knows the righteousness ......."

"What is righteousness?" The queen seemed to be unwilling to listen to a word, raised her voice, and interrupted Shi Rou'er's words, "The despicable are embarrassed to chase the stinking line." Those who clean themselves are added to their bodies with swords and axes, and they cannot shift their ambitions. ”

Yelushin was immediately furious, "Now that the situation dictates, how dare you disobey?" Daqi has already perished, so do you want to be martyred?! Then this king will fulfill you, and you will simply give you all death! ”

Hearing the word "death", many of the concubines behind the queen trembled. They are all young and beautiful girls. Born to be golden and noble, their path is destined to be glamorous and glorious, and their lives are destined to be full of silk and jade. Blood and carnage are far away and illusory, and the only thing they have to worry about may be how much or less their husbands will favor, and how to achieve greater glory. The word death is so far away from their lives, and now the cruel reality has put everything they least want to face in front of them, so abruptly. Caught them off guard.

Shi Rou'er raised her head, and she looked at the concubines who kept shrinking back with a mocking and sneering look.

The skin does not exist. Mao will be attached.

The queen smiled sadly and said, "People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?" Saying that, she turned away, with a cold determination in her eyes, she glanced at the concubines behind her, and said slowly: "Today I have suffered this great calamity, and there is no other person for me and other women. It's just a matter of etiquette and observance. Rather than being humiliated by thieves, it is better to die calmly, and never be flattering, which will ruin the reputation of the emperor and the family. ”

All the concubines had a look of sorrow on their faces. But he didn't dare to make eye contact with her.

The queen just smiled sadly and didn't say anything, and the generals of the Liao army had already seen her intentions and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but those hands had not yet reached her body. Her clothes flew up, and the man was already rushing towards the pillar beside her like an arrow.

In the exclamations of the timid concubines, blood stains flowed down the smooth forehead, and on the day of the first month of the first year of the Heavenly Rule, in this winter of ice and snow, the life of the Empress of Great Qi passed away with that red bloodstain.

The Chinese beauty of Fengyi Palace is still the same. Her master had fallen in such a tragic and decisive way.

Shi Rouer was still calmly pouring wine for Yeluxin, her demeanor was gentle and gentle, and her eyes were flattering.

Su Mi was throwing a piece of charcoal into the stove, the red flame rose, through the dancing flame, she saw her figure like a moth to a fire, Su Mi couldn't help but have a momentary illusion that she was rushing towards this furnace, not the cold pillar.

The flames burst into flames and then vanished. She heard Xiao Luzi reminding her beside her. "Lord...... Small renzi. The firewood was added so fast......"

Jerichin was so angry that he ordered the queen's body to be discarded at the palace gate and not to be buried. I thought that the concubines and concubines of the Qi Palace were vigilant.

The banquet was reopened, the golden bottle was fragrant, and the concubines in the field were ordered to serve tea and wine to the generals.

The concubines trembled and hesitated, Yeluxin was furious, pointed to the body of the queen in the courtyard and asked, "If you don't shirk any more, just go and be with her!" ”

Although the concubines were full of resentment, they trembled when they saw the body abandoned by the queen in the courtyard, and they didn't dare to speak.

Finally, a Liao general couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to grab a palace concubine, who screamed and was pulled into his arms, not daring to struggle after all. Immediately, there was chaos in the field, and in bursts of wanton laughter, the generals left the table one after another, pulling all the concubines they liked to the table.

The concubines are all young women, how to break free. After a stalemate, he dared not speak out in anger, and complied with tears.

Su Mi and more than a dozen other little eunuchs bowed their heads and were responsible for serving food and running errands next to them, and no one paid attention.

The days have gone on uneventfully to this day.

"Master, be careful if you catch a cold. Xiao Luzi had just returned from serving in the palace, walked into the house, and saw Su Mi looking at the courtyard in a daze, and his eyes followed.

Seeing the body of the queen who was still abandoned there, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

The snowflakes slowly grew larger, and goose feathers swayed down from the sky. The surroundings were white, and the soldiers guarding outside ran down from the lookout because they couldn't stand the cold, and ran into the house to keep warm, and no one around paid attention.

A natural impulse made Su Mi walk out, and the thick snow made a "creaking" sound under her feet, accompanied by the "rustling" sound of the surrounding snowflakes, intertwined into a strange silence. She came to the queen's side and looked at the woman, who had been mostly covered by snow.

Her expression was calm and resolute, the blood on her forehead had not yet been wiped away, but it had been covered by shallow snowflakes, ruddy and white, bright and clear.

Looking at her face like morning dew, Su Mi reached out and sorted out the placket of her clothes that had been scattered because she was being pulled and dragged. The snow-covered golden-red brocade dress looked more dazzling than ever, and she had such a heart to die calmly, so she deliberately wore such clothes......

In the palace a few steps away, the sound of scattered silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and laughter came from a staggered manner.

Fengyi Palace was more lively and joyful in the past, but its real owner closed his eyes forever in front of the door, melting into the snowflakes in the sky.

Su Mi stood up, she looked far away, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, dark clouds, only thousands of snowflakes flickered with a star-like shimmer, floating in the air, and silence permeated her eyes. She stood in this prosperous but dilapidated palace, and a kind of cold loneliness came to her heart.
