Chapter 89: Concubine Xiao Shu
Yes, I actually heard "her" speak, without Hu Qi's obstruction of vision in front of her, she didn't know when she had placed her head on her neck; A beautiful black long hair was draped behind his back, revealing a slightly pretty and gloomy melon seed face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"She" seemed to have ignored me, Lin Zi and Hu Qi in front of her, her eyes showed a confused color, and her face seemed to be full of infinite sorrow; just drifted in place in a daze, chanting bitter love poems to himself. It's completely gone, and the hideous look it was not long ago.
I could vaguely hear that she was singing as if she had heard a poem before, but I couldn't remember where it came from. Her voice is very good, like a flower blooming in the morning, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, gentle and elegant, but not like watery tenderness.
"Who are you?"
I don't know how to talk to her, but looking at her, it seems that she has a posture of self-indulgence; Hu Laoqi has been led deeper into the tomb by them with a beard, and there is an unknown crisis in the tomb at every moment. So, if we can't get out of it, there is a risk that it will lead to some unforeseen consequences. In desperation, I could only bite the bullet and take the lead in questioning "her"!
If I'm right, it's likely that the reason why she has changed so much is because the inscriptions I wrote on the walls of the tomb have helped us to have a dialogue between humans and ghosts. Other than that, I can't think of any other possible way for us to hear her! It's just that not long ago, the painting that I originally regarded as a child would show such an effect, which I didn't expect, including Lin Zi!
"Who am I? Who am I? Who am I......"
Sure enough, she did hear my question; It's just that the look on her face seems to have fallen into a more confused space to think, and her eyes are still lost and she mutters in place repeating this sentence: "Who am I?" ”。 In this small burial chamber, her voice seemed distant and hollow, giving people a feeling of isolation and helplessness in the deep valley.
Hu Qi stood behind him with a puzzled face, he was just a mere mortal, and he couldn't see the scene that Lin Zi and I could see; Although his face was full of anxiety, he still trusted us after experiencing the scene of thousands of ghosts coming out that night, so he has been silently waiting for when we can get rid of the troubles brought by "her".
"I'm Xiao Wanying, I'm Xiao Liangdi, I'm Xiao Shufei, I'm ...... Wu's fox is charming, and it has been overturned so far! I am a cat, and Wu is a rat, and I should strangle his throat to repay him! ”
The turn of events always seemed so unguardable that she, who had just been mild-mannered, suddenly became excited; shouted like a shrew on the street, and her eyes became more and more bloody. Luckily, though, she didn't attack us!
And from her words, I seem to have confirmed her identity - could it be that she is Concubine Xiao Shu who was drunk by Wu Zetian and died in the wine urn?
Things don't seem to be quite right, according to historical records, Concubine Xiao Shu did die at the hands of Wu Zetian; So why did "she" call herself Concubine Xiao Shufei at this time?
It is said that when Tang Gaozong was still the crown prince, he was selected into the East Palace because of his beauty and intelligence, and was named Liangdi. Later, Gaozong ascended the throne and changed the title of Liangdi to Shufei. Xiao was favored because of his charming appearance, but he was ruthless and jealous, which caused Queen Wang to fall out of favor.
Concubine Xiao Shu originally favored the harem before Wu Zetian entered the palace, and even didn't take the queen in her eyes. At that time, Queen Wang was very jealous of Concubine Xiao Shu, and the two competed for favor in front of Gaozong, but at this time, Concubine Xiao Shufei was proud because she was pregnant, and there was no one in her eyes.
Once the queen found that Gaozong actually liked his concubine Wu, but Wu had entered the Ganye Temple as a nun, so she summoned the Wu family to return to the palace and cooperate with her to bring down Concubine Xiao Shu, and Feng Wu Zetian was Zhaoyi, and was greatly favored, and Concubine Xiao Shufei fell out of favor, but Concubine Xiao Shufei did not change her domineering, arrogant and arrogant personality in the past, but intensified, which made the emperor annoyed and complained repeatedly. Then not only did Concubine Xiao Shu fall out of favor, but Queen Wang also gradually fell out of favor. Wu Zhaoyi found another opportunity to frame Queen Wang, and the queen and Concubine Shu were deposed as concubines together, and Wu Zhaoyi immediately became the queen.
Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang were imprisoned, and one day Gaozong suddenly missed them, so he went to visit them, and saw their miserable condition, which was quite unbearable. The second daughter asked Gaozong to let them see the light of day again, and hoped that the secluded courtyard would be named "Huixinyuan", and Gaozong promised to deal with it. But when Empress Wu learned of this, she immediately ordered them to be struck with a hundred rods each, cut off their hands and feet, tied behind their backs, and thrown into a large wine urn, and said, "Let these two old women get drunk to death." ”
When Concubine Xiao Shufei was hit with a cane, she scolded: "Wu's fox is charming! I must be born as a cat in the next life, let the Wu family be reincarnated as a rat, and I will strangle her throat for the rest of my life to take revenge! Empress Wu was quite frightened by this, and ordered the palace not to keep cats. Later, Empress Wu often dreamed at night that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei were covered with hair and blood, which was very terrifying, which made her feel very disgusted, and ordered the wizard to do something to eliminate the disaster, and moved to Penglai Palace, and stayed in the Eastern Capital in the future. After killing Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, Empress Wu ordered the Wang family to change their surname to "Python", and the Xiao family to change their surname to "Xiao", and exiled their clansmen to Lingnan.
"Isn't Concubine Xiao Shu already ...... by Wu Zetian"
The historical records seem to be well-founded and convincing; But why does "she" call herself Concubine Xiao Shu? Lin Zi asked this question anxiously for a while, but when he saw the blood-red eyes of the "Concubine Xiao Shu" in front of him, he suddenly found that his question was a little inappropriate, so he had to suppress it stiffly......
In such an environment, every word we say is carefully considered! Because I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would anger the emotionally unstable "Concubine Xiao Shu", and then cause her to attack.
"She" did not make things difficult for Lin Zi because of his gaffe, but changed her face in an instant, and told us the answer we wanted to know with a little resentment. It's just that what I didn't expect was that after listening to her story, that is, this answer that has been buried for thousands of years, the impact on me would be so great!
She said that after she and Queen Wang were imprisoned by Wu Zetian, they suffered from leather whips every day; And Emperor Gaozong's visit to them was actually not just a visit, because with the wisdom of Emperor Gaozong, how could he not know that Wu Zetian was insidious and vicious.
It is said that on that day, Emperor Gaozong took advantage of the pretext of visiting to find two women with looks and body shapes that were almost like her and the queen and replaced them both, and then settled in a secret place. Because they had already endured a lot of whipping with canes a few days ago, these two substitutes were easily confused by Wu Zetian's eyeliner.
