Chapter 159: Jin Concubine
A lot of the past flashed through my mind.
Only hesitated for a moment, and Pillow Chun's hand gently pressed on a snow-white plate. She smiled at An Huatang, and said slowly: "Fourteenth sister don't need to panic, it's not yours, you can always prove it." She fiddled with Danko's hand on the plate, "It's just a pair of words, and you can write it in no time." ”
"Sister Yan......" An Huatang suddenly remembered that when he was a child reading and writing, An Zhenchun sat aside and looked cold. She's always like that, sanctimonious!
Pillow Chun's voice was not arrogant or impatient, and her snow-white and tender fingertips rubbed the fragile porcelain cup: "As long as the fourteenth sister's hand is intact, there will naturally be a day when she will prove her clarity." ”
As long as the hands are in good condition......
An Huatang listened to Pillow Chun's words in a daze, looked at her unhurried movements, and suddenly understood what she meant. An Huatang's expression turned from frightened to extremely panicked, "Queen Mother......" An Huatang turned his head and shouted, but saw Liu Anran looking down at the tip of his nose. "Moon Noble ......"
Silence in response.
An Huatang had to look at Pillow Chun, and saw that Pillow Chun Dankou's nails were crimson, dazzling and dazzling on the snow-white porcelain. Her hands trembled, raised slightly, and read, "Sister Yan......" Bean-sized tears fell to the ground, and the despair in her eyes gradually expanded.
"An Cairen?" Liu Anran urged.
"Fourteenth sister?"
An Huatang swooped forward, pressing his hands into the cup and plate. A crisp cracking sound sounded.
As long as the hands are in good condition, there will be a day when the charges will be convicted. If your hands are wasted, you will be a waste...... It can never be proven.
A muffled exhaler of pain came.
An Huatang's wrist tendons poked on the snow-white broken porcelain blade, and the blood flowed like a torrent in an instant.
Liu Anran exclaimed in surprise and shot the case.
Pillow Chun's heart was sour, and he turned his head away.
Mu Yongyue held his chin and smiled, looking at it with interest.
Hand is An Huatang's life. She has been studying calligraphy, painting, piano, and chess diligently since she was a child, and she can't do anything without it. She never thought that she would self-destruct in such a way, ruined on the plum blossom seal that she had studied so hard for several years. The porcelain shards pierced the tendons and veins in great pain, but they were in great distress, and in order to survive...... This may be the last resort.
This farce that harms others and ultimately harms oneself can only end like this.
got a sentence from the Son of Heaven with suspicion and disgust - "An Cairen lost his honor in front of the palace, was grounded in Tinglan Pavilion, and was not allowed to come back." ”
Pillow Chun didn't think about taking An Huatang's life, obviously Mu Yongyue didn't think so. Mu Yongyue's style of acting has always been ruthless, and it is naturally a way to kill people and stop the war with war. In his dictionary, there is no woman's benevolence, only four words: cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
Abandoning his hands is already the most complete way for Pillow Spring to give An Huatang. The important thing is that the face of the An family is complete.
Mu Beiyi is so keen, just look at An Huatang's reaction. There will be such a fuss among the flowers, although An Huatang's death penalty cannot be determined, it has been stamped and sealed in the heart of the Son of Heaven. Eternal imprisonment saved a life, and it can be regarded as... Stealing.
In the middle of February, a letter was sent from home, and the third aunt wrote a thousand-word letter of Zhu Mochen's affection, asking Pillow Chun to intercede for An Huatang in front of Mu Beiyi.
Plead? Pillow Spring can't be such a weak kindness.
The An family allowed the third aunt's letter to be delivered to the palace, asking for the meaning of testing the pillow spring. When my father did this, he should have told Pillow Spring that she could do it from her heart and not have to worry about her relationship with her sister-in-law.
…… Although her feud with An Huatang has never been explained to her family.
It's best that the An family is so kept in the dark. The father is not young anymore, if he knew that a pair of daughters were in the palace because of interests, and now they have already turned against each other, I am afraid that he will add a lot of gray hair.
Magnolia boiled a thick lotus root powder soup for Pillow Spring, which was filled with thick soup in a delicate azure porcelain bowl, and had a sweet aroma when you sniffed it. Pillow Chun sat lazily on the couch to read the letter, holding a string of Bodhi in his hand.
Yulan said: "This string of Bodhi for Your Majesty, Niangniang has been coiled for many days. ”
"It's just boring to listen to it, who else can you do it."
Yulan persuaded: "Don't say that, your majesty can come to see you for two out of three days these days." Your grace is now the most prosperous in the six palaces, and even Concubine Zhenxian is invincible. ”
"That's because Your Majesty wants my father to give Shangshu Province to you. My father's official residence is a left-hand servant, which is very suitable. What's more, Wu Shangshuling died at such a good time, and he was choked to death by snowflakes...... "Pillow Chun's eyes condensed, and he suddenly said, "Choked to death by snowflakes?" ”
Yulan shook her head: "The slave maid and you were in the cold palace of the other garden at that time, and it is not true to ask." I only know that when I was mourning, the prince who was side by side cried sadly. Yulan replied in a low voice, "You said, side by side with the prince in order to clear your name...... But ......"
“…… He and I just happened to be on the same side, so we supported each other to save our lives. If you want to say it's powerful, it's still our majesty who is powerful. The Xue family, the Wen family, the Liu family, the side by side palace or the Guangping Hou family...... and An Jia, no one has fought him. ”
Yulan was terrified when she heard this, and she immediately stepped forward to cover Zhuchun's mouth, and she whispered: "You can speak carefully, don't let others hear." ”
"Got it." Pillow Chun turned over boredly, slapped the Bodhi string on the case, and asked, "How is Tinglan Pavilion?" ”
Yulan sprinkled the incense powder on the stove and replied in a low voice: "The person is fine, but the palms and wrists are pierced by broken porcelain pieces." An Cairen's fall was too violent and powerful, and it was said that his hand tendons were broken, and he couldn't take anything again for the rest of his life. It's like...... Like a wasted person, grace can no longer be counted on. ”
"Hmm......" Pillow Chun nodded his chin, there was no sympathy in his tone, only a little regretful and low, "She chose it herself." ”
"Niangniang doesn't have to be sad. An Cairen fell into the trap for you in the case of the third elder brother, why did you bother to take care of sisterhood with her? ”
"I don't have a sisterhood for her." A cold glint flashed in Pillow Chun's eyes, "If she is accused of going against the Assassin with He, my family's reputation will always be damaged." I'm for my father and my brothers. My father's ascension is imminent, and there is no room for mistakes. She thought for a moment, propped herself up and looked down for her shoes, "Go, I'm going to take a look at Tinglan Pavilion." ”
Yulan was stunned and sighed: "Yes." ”
In early spring, it was still a little cold, and Pillow Spring sat on the chariot from Yongning Palace to Qiyang Palace.
When she was still good with Liu Anran in the past, she often took this path. At that time, it was difficult to walk and the position was low, and I could not sit still and could only walk. But thinking about meeting and accompanying close sisters, the scenery along the way will seem gentle.
Now that one of them is a queen and the other is a favorite concubine, they have not walked this road again.
Only then did Pillow Spring have the heart to see the peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and apricot blossoms along the road, and to blow the greasy spring breeze on the face. But there is no softness in the bottom of my heart.
I got off the step, entered the Qiyang Palace, crossed the rockery from the gallery, and came to the Tinglan Pavilion. The first thing you see when you enter the entrance is the well with colorful flowers.
The one that Da Xue said before his death broke the well of Liu Anran's hope. Pillow Chun walked over, folded his hands and looked inside, and between the floating petals and the black hole well water, he couldn't see anything.
She had finally become a woman who had insight into the many dark secrets of the palace.
The well of Tinglan Pavilion, the death of the Queen Mother, the palpitations of the Da Xue family, and the unjust case of the three princes...... She has gone from a cardamom girl with a free pursuit to a woman who is scheming in this deep palace and defends her family with glamorous makeup and delicate skin?
Pillow Chun was still thinking to himself, but he saw the door of Tinglan Pavilion creak open.
Duanmu was wearing a light green plain spring coat, his face was sprinkled with spring light, and he walked out of it with a painting scroll.
"Zhen Wanyi." Yulan saw Duanmuruo and saluted her.
Duanmu Ruo was a little hesitant and stunned for a moment, and the next moment he walked over to Zhuchun with a smile, with a soft and intimate smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sister is also here?" ”
"Ruo'er, will it be cold if you wear something like this?" Pillow Chun wiped her thin cuffs and asked worriedly.
Duanmuruo shook his head, and his voice was cold and clear: "Seeing that my sister's heart is warm, it is naturally not cold." ”
Pillow Chun shook Duanmu Ruo's hand, took the opportunity to pull out the scroll and looked at it, and there was some inexplicability on his face.
It was a word, a plum blossom seal. Pillow Spring is very familiar, it is a plum blossom seal written by An Huatang, the content is very ordinary, and several famous poems of the saint are copied.
"You showed her this?" Pillow Spring asked Duanmu Ruo.
Duanmu Ruo's stunned immediately retracted, and casually rolled up the words lightly, and said to Zhuchun Chun: "Sister and she are sisters, my sister said that she didn't care, but she couldn't give up this heart in her heart. She still had a smile on her face, "What my sister couldn't do with her heart, I did it for my sister." As long as the person who hinders his sister should not die well. ”
"She has broken her tendons, and she will be no different from a waste person in the future." Pillow spring eyebrows.
Duanmu Ruo said: "A spark can start a prairie fire, An Cairen and the queen and the Yue nobles are of the same mind, and they should not be easily indulged." That day, I sent the waiter to steal the picture scroll of Tinglan Pavilion, and I found this painting by chance. As long as this picture is there, An Cairen's accusation of secretly communicating with the song can be confirmed. ”
"If it is confirmed, my father and brother will also be implicated in their careers." Pillow Chun clenched Duanmu Ruo's hand, only to hold a piece of cold.
Duanmu Ruo didn't care, and only smiled at Pillow Chun: "I naturally think about this layer, my sister and my sister's father and brother can't be implicated." Therefore, Ancai people can't be guilty, so I will only show her. ”
Pillow Chun was still thinking about this, so he heard a bang, and a little girl stumbled out of Tinglan Pavilion, which was the jewel.
When Baozhu saw that Pillow Chun and Duanmu Ruo were tilting their heads and talking, they cried and shouted: "Concubine Ming! Zhen Wanyi! Oh no...... Quiet...... Ancai people...... She accidentally cut her wrist with scissors! Ask Concubine Ming to pass on the imperial doctor! ”
Pillow Chun's heart was shocked, and he threw away Duanmuruo's hand, but Duanmuruo shook it back.
"Sister, don't feel bad, this matter is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with my sister." Duanmu Ruo grabbed Pillow Chun's hand and pinched Pillow Chun's bones painfully, "Does my sister blame me?" ”
"Why ...... You"
Duanmu Ruo smiled bitterly: "If I hand over this plum blossom seal, I can confirm her crime." At that time, she will be demoted to a concubine, stripped of her title, and beaten to death with a cane. Her birth mother will also be implicated and may even be abandoned...... And her body. I told her that I would send someone to a mass grave to dig up her body, expose it for three days, and feed it to wild dogs. She wasn't as afraid of death as I thought, but when she heard that she was going to be a lonely ghost with no name and no name, she was terrified. ”
“…… So she chose to cut her wrists and cut herself. Pillow Chun Mingxiao, looking down at Duanmu Ruo's bones that were white and blue because of the exertion, "...... Die as the concubine of the Son of Heaven, and be buried in the concubine mausoleum after death to enjoy the incense. She has loved decency and reputation since she was a child, and she will definitely choose so. ”
"Sister, do you blame me?" Duanmu Ruo looked at the pillow spring earnestly.
Pillow Chun closed his eyes and turned his head away, and called Yulan: "Quick, go and pass the imperial doctor." ”
Duanmu Ruo didn't say anything to her, just stood under the colorful tree of Luoying, and looked at Pillow Spring with a faint smile. Her smile was tranquil and gentle, and there was an indescribable tenderness when she looked at the pillow spring. Just standing so quietly, his head was full of fine petals, and the whole person was as tranquil as the green clouds in the mountain col.
When the imperial doctor came, An Huatang was already exhausted. Her wrists were cut deeply, and the veins were severed, and the bones could be seen. It's hard for Pillow Spring to think about how she can do such a self-judging act when her hand tendons are broken.
Perhaps it is the obsession with decency. Or......
Pillow Chun did not respond to the plea of the third aunt, and pleaded for An Huatang, but when the person died like a lamp going out, he begged for a posthumous seal for An Huatang.
Posthumously named a concubine. Pillow Chun used a begonia petal-dyed flower note, carefully wrote a word and sent it to Mu Beiyi, and said sincerely: "If Your Majesty is willing to give a face, you will give this word to the fourteenth sister." ”
Mu Beiyi was reading a book with a lamp, and when he saw Pillow Spring coming, he took her into his arms and went to look at the word again. He sighed: "Brocade? Bright and gorgeous, this is a good word for dignity and dignity. ”
"If it weren't for a good word, the concubine wouldn't ask His Majesty for it."
Mu Beiyi was noncommittal, pressed his hand on the flower paper on that side, turned his head sideways and continued to read, and muttered: "She is not like you." When I saw it, I didn't bother to say it. ...... the hell she Not as good as yours. ”
If you don't like me, you still sent me to the cold palace to eat squirrels. The corners of Zhuchun's mouth stiffened slightly, so he softly handed the word again, and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, Jin Concubine Jin listens to a lot of wishes, which makes people think more comfortable." ”
Mu Beiyi didn't want to allow it, but said: "She doesn't deserve such words." ”
Pillow Chun's mind wandered, thinking about how funny Duanmu Ruo's word "Zhen" was, and said in his heart that the level of your Mu Beiyi title is only like this. There was still some grievance on his face, and he only took the orchid embroidered handkerchief to press the corner of his eye: "The fourteenth sister died unexpectedly early, and my father was very sad." ”
"She's self-judicing in fear of crime."
"Your Majesty is kind."
"Eleven Niang, the concubines are fighting, and the Mu family also has them. When you were guilty, she fell into the well. She is now guilty, but you are not forced to live and die. Mu Beiyi's voice was faint, and he casually kissed the corner of Zhuchun's eyes, and only said, "So you are different from them, you have been as good as in the past for several years, and you are independent." I don't bother to take care of this matter, He Tingshi has carried sixteen noble concubines during his reign, and he has been implicated in many major powers in the court, and it is not only your family. Half-rim ...... When I see this, I cherish you even more. ”
Pillow Chun was quite surprised, sat on Mu Beiyi's lap and moved uncomfortably, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty knows that He Tingshi's matter is true?" ”
"I saw her reaction at the flower meeting, and I knew it."
"The concubine begged for this son's honor, and it was indeed not to be this archway of pity for the sister and kindness and generosity." Pillow Chun pondered and said, "The concubine and the fourteenth sister are not close in the end. It's just that the Si people have gone, and the sisters have been killed, and they occasionally recall the stories of their childhood, and they feel at a loss. That...... Your Majesty......" she asked tentatively, "what do you want to do with the matter of the fourteenth sister?" ”
Mu Beiyi covered the title page of the book and muttered, "She is also smart and knows how to protect herself, so I will detain her for the rest of her life and spare her life." If the flower meeting sits in front of everyone's eyes, I will definitely be killed in front of the temple. She wants to be decent, I don't want to be face-saving? ”
"Hmm." Pillow Chun's heart was slightly cold, and he lowered his head and only took back the flower note.
Mu Beiyi pressed his fingers and said, "That's it, this is for you and the An family's face, and give her the title of Jin Concubine." ”
Jin Concubine, it sounds really bright and gorgeous, and it ended An Huatang's life.
Wonderful!
