Chapter 2: The Sinking Pond

Seeing that Shi Yiguang was speechless, Queen Yue asked again: "Miss Xi Shi is preparing, what will happen in the future?" ”

The sky in Layue became colder and colder, and a light rain began to fall outside the hall. The light rain was dripping and ticking on the eaves. Birds still chirp in the eaves.

"I am a woman of the Yue country, and I will ...... in the future What kind of future, naturally, it is the king and queen of Yue who have the final say. Shi Yiguang said slowly, looking at the light rain outside the window. The sky was a little cloudy, and she knew that there were several swallow's nests under the eaves outside this temple.

Shi Yiguang looked out the window, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Queen Yue: "The king also said that he would make me a concubine." ”

With a shallow smile, a pair of water-cut autumn eyes, intriguing.

Queen Yue was glad in her heart, fortunately, she was brought to the palace for training back then, and she never let Gou Jian see it.

"Although you are a Yue girl, you are also the former Queen of Wu." Queen Yue looked at Shi Yiguang in front of her and spoke.

When Shi Yiguang heard this, her eyes changed, and she looked at Queen Yue: "What does the queen mean?" ”

"After conquering the state of Wu, the king of Wu also killed himself in Gusutai. As Queen Wu, how can she stay in the Yue Palace? Queen Yue looked at her and said very naturally: "I have discussed this matter with Dr. Wen and Dr. Fan Li. ”

Shi Yiguang looked at Queen Yue and opened her mouth, she wanted to ask what Fan Li said. But when the words came to his lips, he asked again.

No matter what he said, he was already discussing with King Yue now.

"You say, how good would it be if you and King Wu were martyred in Gusutai at that time?" Saying that, Queen Yue sighed lightly, with regret: "He really loves you to the core." Knowing that the country was about to be destroyed, he knew that you were a meticulous work of the country, and sent you back. Let you live well in the days to come. ”

Saying that, Queen Yue smiled softly and said, "But, how can you live well?" ”

"So what does the queen mean?" Shi Yiguang straightened up and turned his head to look at Queen Yue: "How do you want me to live?" ”

Queen Yue shook her head, looked at Shi Yiguang, and smiled: "Live? How can you live? I'm here today to have a good talk with you. ”

Shi Yiguang's face gradually sank, and he looked at Queen Yue. After a while, he said, "Talk?" Talk about how to make me die? Or how do I accept it calmly? ”

Queen Yue met Shi Yiguang's gaze and did not dodge: "Yiguang, in terms of talent and appearance, there is no one in the world who can match you." A woman like you is so beautiful. I've been cautious for three years, but it's a pity that now, I still let King Yue see you. ”

Shi Yiguang listened to Queen Yue's words, lowered his head slightly, touched the corners of his eyes with his hand, and smiled lightly, with a little desolation. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened when she smiled, and she gently supported her, looking at the table in front of her with a somewhat blank look: "Even if I help Yue destroy Wu and give my life to Yue Guo, I still can't withstand this troubled world and disputes, and people's hearts are unpredictable." ”

As she spoke, she remembered her husband again.

Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Queen Yue: "But why should I agree?" Even if you die, I will put you in the name of ingratitude. ”

Although the tone was resentful, his eyes were indeed blank. She didn't know, no matter what, she was going to die. It's just a different way.

Queen Yue sat back, looking at the woman in front of her, the expression on her face remained unchanged, still gentle.

She looked at Shi Yiguang and said softly: "Actually, you don't want to give birth to Yiguang." He said in a soft voice, and even his eyes were soft.

Only people who see through life and death, and have no heart, will have such a gaze when talking about their own life and death.

"Why don't you want to give birth?" Shi Yiguang listened to Queen Yue's words and sneered: "Yayu, you are old, so you are afraid." ”

Queen Yue Yayu looked at Shi Yiguang and looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes: "Yiguang, you are also old." ”

Shi Yiguang smiled, looking at the woman in front of him who was only ten years older than himself, obviously only ten years older than himself, but her temples were already frosty, and the wind and frost on her face made the whole person look ten years older.

Shi Yiguang let out a breath and turned his head to look out the window: "However, I promised my husband to live well." Saying that, Shi Yiguang felt her heart tighten, she bowed down in pain, and touched her heart with her hand.

Seeing this, Queen Yue got up and walked to Shi Yiguang's side, personally helped her, and gently followed her back for her: "After so many years, you are still tempted by him." ”

Shi Yiguang let Queen Yue support him, hung his head and held his heart, and did not say much.

The hall became quiet, and the sound of rain outside the hall was still there, falling under the eaves, ticking and ticking.

After a long time, Shi Yiguang sat up straight and gently pushed Queen Yue away beside him.

"You go, I promise." Sitting upright, his back straightened, looking straight ahead, there were no waves in his eyes.

Queen Yue looked at Shi Yiguang, nodded, and smiled: "I know that you are a reasonable woman." As he spoke, he lifted his skirt and got up slowly, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Shi Yi's naked body didn't move, and he looked ahead blankly. Listen to the footsteps behind you.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and then Queen Yue stopped, turned around, and looked at Shi Yiguang's dignified back: "Yiguang, you don't have to feel lonely." After you leave, I will come underground to accompany you. ”

With that, silence returned to the temple. After a long time, there was another sound of footsteps, and it gradually faded away.

Night is approaching, and rainy days always get dark quickly. Gong E, who was waiting outside, walked into the hall and began to light the lamp.

The next day, by the Yangtze River. Standing are the ministers of the Yue Kingdom. The winter wind on the river is howling, and a group of people's clothes are flying.

Among them, Goujian, the king of Yue, stood at the head of the crowd, followed by Wen Chong, Fan Li, and Feng Tong's ministers.

Queen Yue Yayu stood aside, and behind her was Shi Yiguang, who was wearing a veil.

Shi Yiguang was dressed in a white gauze coat with green silk on his hair. With his hands crossed between his hips, the white gauze skirt was blown by the river breeze, fluttering like a fairy. She tilted her head and looked at the river calmly. A gust of winter wind blows ripples on the river.

King Yue Gou Jian looked at it, suddenly sighed, and turned his head to look at Queen Yue.

Queen Yue looked away and looked at Shi Yiguang: "Miss Xi Shi, please." ”

Xi Shi turned his head, looked at her, and then turned his head and swept his gaze, staying on Fan Li who was standing behind Gou Jian. Fan Li's eyes were a little red, and he clenched his teeth and turned his face away.

Xi Shi suddenly smiled, with a little contempt: "Doctor Fan Li's return with red makeup seems to be the only way to continue in the next life." ”

Fan Li tilted his head, still opened his eyes, and said, "Send Miss Xi Shi on the road." ”

Queen Yue took over: "Send it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the next person was holding a sack made of cow leather, putting Xi Shi on, and Xi Shi stood and lay down. She looked at the sack in front of her, breathing a little heavily. But he didn't move.

It's in a sack, and it seems to be warmer than the outside. She hugged her arm, her gaze softening.

Fucha, I have lost you in this life. I will come to hell to accompany you.

Tie the bag and tie a stone to it. The attendant threw the sack away.

There was a 'plop' and a splash of water. Everyone on the shore did not say a word. They all watched as the sack sank until it was gone.

Wu was destroyed, Gou Jian took Xizi as a stunner for the country, and Fuxizi was in the river, so that Suiyi ended. ——"The Imperial View of the Xiuwen Palace"

The sinking of Xi Shi is also beautiful; - "Mozi and Relatives"
