Chapter 1 The Past Is Like Smoke

Next Chapter

Above the magnificent imperial city, the dark night sky is particularly low, and the heavy night layers are pressed on the palace people who are standing down, and the dim palace lamps cast a dark shadow on the faces of these people, adding a bit of weird atmosphere to the red palace.

Inside the door of the tall carved hall, Mu Qingya stood by the window, tonight she did not wear complicated and gorgeous palace clothes, only a plain white dress, the long skirt was spotless and without any decoration, the white color made her draped on her slender body, and she was exceptionally slender and thin. Rumo's long hair can be pulled up with only a white hosta, and the back is sprinkled like a waterfall.

"Imperial Sister ......"

A gentle voice sounded, making Mu Qingya turn around. Mu Xuanming, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, was looking at her with a calm and peaceful expression. When she was seven years old, Mu Xuanming was three years old, and at that time, he was a small, soft person, and he always called her "Imperial Sister" in such a slightly dependent tone, and in a blink of an eye, that child had grown into a handsome and resolute emperor.

"Sister Huang, you have been in poor health, why are you still standing by the window, in case you catch a cold, you have to take those bitter medicines again? The royal sister is always like this, and she won't take care of herself! I really should teach the girls around the imperial sister a good lesson, they won't comfort you......" Mu Xuanming's eyes were faintly concerned, and he took the cloak and draped it on Mu Qingya's shoulders as he spoke. The fiery red cloak was embroidered with large peonies, with a hint of sweet fragrance, which made her white jade-like face a slight flush.

"Xuan Ming, you've been on the throne for more than two years, right?" Mu Qingya looked at the strap of his cloak that he skillfully fastened, and asked softly.

Mu Xuanming's hand paused and continued his movements: "Yes, Imperial Sister, it's been two years and three months, why did Imperial Sister say this today?" ”

Mu Qingya shook her head, said "set the meal" to the maid on the side, and then sat down at the table, looking at the open palace door and the dark night. Mu Xuanming clenched her fists, her back was unusually slender, but she had always been straight and straight, since he could remember, no matter how difficult the situation she faced, her back had never bent, even if she was shot in the back by a feather arrow, she was able to stand on the high platform and command thousands of troops.

The palace people put the meals on the table in an orderly manner, and then stood aside quietly. Mu Qingya glanced at them: "You all go down!" Shadow, go down too! ”

The air fluctuated for a moment, and a black figure knelt down on Mu Qingya's skirt: "Princess! “

"Let's go down!" The voice was still very soft, light like a low sigh, but with an irresistible firmness and coercion.

Shadow gritted her teeth, her eyes full of pain, and she knelt straight, slammed her head three times, and then exited the palace.

Mu Xuanming's body was a little stiff: "Imperial Sister, hasn't Ying always guarded the safety of Imperial Sister?" How to ......"

"It's nothing, but it seems like I haven't eaten alone with Xuan Ming for a long time! When we were exiled, you always liked to lean on my side and no one talked to you, and at that time we would share a little food, and now we are back in the palace, and we have everything but never eat alone. Mu Qingya said softly, there were no waves in her eyes, "Xuan Ming, don't you pour a glass of wine for the imperial sister?" ”

Mu Xuanming's body trembled, and he almost thought that his plan had been known: "Sister Huang, haven't you always liked to drink?" Why are you going to drink all of a sudden? ”

"People will always change...... Mu Qingya picked up the white jade wine jug, held the handle of the pot in one hand, pressed the lid of the pot with the other, and poured the clear wine into the wine glass, and the slightest smell of wine was permeated, "Isn't Xuan Ming also a king?" ”

"Sister Huang......" watched her pick up the wine glass, Mu Xuanming clenched her fists, her nails sunk into her palms, because the green tendons on the back of her hands were exposed, but her tone was as gentle as before, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Boom!" A muffled thunder resounded in the sky, followed by a thunderbolt that flashed away, a torrential rain followed, and a gust of wind blew in from the wide open window, picking up Mu Qingya's black hair.

Mu Qingya's movements were still the same, as if the sound of the outside world could not enter her ears, and the wine glass slowly approached her lips, and the slightly pale spread all over with a shallow smile.

"Sister Huang!" Mu Xuanming walked quickly to Mu Qingya, snatched the wine glass, and the wine in the cup spilled her hand, realizing that her movements were too abrupt, and quickly explained, "Imperial sister, you are not in good health, don't drink, I will accompany the imperial sister to eat!" ”

Mu Qingya looked into his eyes: "Xuan Ming, do you know, every time you are nervous, your eyelashes will always tremble more than usual, you are now a king, this problem will be changed, your mind should not be easily known by the courtiers, but if you want to use this to manipulate the courtiers, you can also do it, think about it, you should know, you have done a good job in the past two years!" ”

took the wine glass and refilled it with wine, and drank it all in Mu Xuanming's panicked eyes: "This wine is not bad!" ”

"Sister Huang!" The string in his heart was suddenly broken, as if he was being pulled away from life, and Mu Xuan fell to his knees at Mu Qingya's feet with a bang, "Imperial Doctor!" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

"Don't even come in!" Mu Qingya snorted coldly, and the movement at the door immediately quieted down.

"Imperial sister, the wine is poisonous, the wine is poisonous, the imperial sister ......" The young emperor lost his usual calm, clutching Mu Qingya's sleeves in a panic like a child, he shouldn't have done this, although the imperial sister has a great influence in the court, but she has never done anything to threaten the throne, how could he listen to the words of several ministers!

The bursts of colic from her abdomen made Mu Qingya's face even paler, since she helped Mu Xuanming block an arrow that time, her health has not been good, no matter how much tonic she has continued, her face has never been stained with redness again: "As a monarch, you are not affected by love, you can make this choice, the imperial sister is very happy, as a qualified emperor, he will not allow a person with greater influence than him to exist, the imperial sister understands...... Ahem......"

Mu Xuanming knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Sister Huang! My younger brother is a ghost to do such a rebellious thing, don't say it, imperial sister, imperial doctor, imperial doctor......"

Bang! The heavy palace door was slammed open, a slender figure stepped into the hall, the rain fell to the ground dripping, Mo Junqing's steps staggered a little, and there was no trace of the usual killing decisiveness on his handsome face, and only the slender figure was left in his eyes.

"Princess!"

Mu Qingya looked at the door, her calm eyes moved slightly, the poison had already begun to take effect, and the intense colic made her vision blurred, but she still saw the anxious face: "Junqing, are you ......here?"

Mo Junqing walked over and hugged the figure into his arms, at this moment he no longer cared about the difference between monarchs and ministers, and he could no longer care about the difference between men and women, the tearing pain in his heart made him want to roar but was suppressed alive: "Princess......"

Mu Qingya raised her hand with difficulty and stroked the face with rain, this face should have been handsome and unmatched, but it was a pity that it was ruined for her, but the warmth in those eyes has never changed, although he is soaked, he still has the warmth that makes people attached, the most sorry thing in her life is this man, this man has not married for her, ruined her appearance for her, and broke into the enemy camp alone for her, but she has never given him a response, he should have galloped on the battlefield and made achievements, Then there is a beautiful lady to accompany her, not like this: "Junqing, in the next life...... No...... Meet me again......"

"Princess, it is Junqing's lifelong wish to meet the princess and serve you as a dog and horse!" Mo Junqing held the cold hand tightly, wanting to give her a little warmth, and her deep eyes were full of unrepentant tenderness.

Mu Qingya laughed, her smile was no longer detached and indifferent, her eyes were dyed a little innocent and innocent, speaking of which, she was just a nineteen-year-old girl, and her cheek was close to Mo Junqing's chest and rubbed hard: "Junqing...... It's warm! Warm ......"

Mo Junqing's tears fell one after another, dripping on that bloodless pale face, wanting to hug her with all his might, but he was worried that he would hurt her with too much strength: "The princess likes it, Junqing has been holding the princess!" ”

Mu Qingya shook her head, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with a hint of bright red: "No...... Junqing...... Look for...... Find a ...... Poof...... "Big mouthful, big mouthful of blood gushed out, and warm blood sprinkled all over Mo Junqing's chest!"

"Princess!"

"Sister Huang!"

Through the misty sight, Mu Qingya did not look at Mu Xuanming who was kneeling on the ground, but looked at the rain curtain outside the palace gate and the sky outside the rain curtain. Mo Junqing picked her up and walked to the gate of the palace, and the palace maids and servants kneeling outside the door. Mu Qingya no longer had the strength to speak to let them get up, and finally took a look at the imperial city that had exhausted her life's work, and slowly closed her eyes!

"Princess!" "Princess! The cry resounded through the Yuhua Palace.

The palace maid Green Kite stood up and walked step by step to Mu Xuanming, who was kneeling on the ground and completely stunned, her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood: "Your Majesty, the queen died at the age of three, Concubine Li persecuted you and the princess, the princess took you to the people alone, she washed people's clothes, suffered beatings, you had the epidemic, she knelt at the door of the pharmacy for three days to seek medical treatment for you, and returned to the palace after nine deaths, resisted the assassination for you, and was highly poisonous for you, without her, how could you have you today, even the way of being a king is taught by the princess!" How can you bear it, how can you bear it! Princess, Heaven has been unfair to you! It's unfair! ”

The green kite stood up, kowtowed three times respectfully to Mu Qingya, and then hit his head on the pillar at the entrance of the palace: "Slave maid...... Follow the princess for the rest of your life! ”

Ying walked next to Mo Junqing: "The princess doesn't like the palace, she doesn't like the bright red palace wall, please General Mo take the princess away!" With that, he drew a dagger and stabbed it in the heart.

Mo Junqing hugged Mu Qingya's cool body, wiped the blood from her mouth with her sleeve, and took off the red cloak on her body, revealing the plain white clothes she was wearing.

The rain stopped without warning, but the sound of insects and birds could not be heard in the silent night sky. Mo Junqing walked out of the palace door with her in his arms!

"Stop, where are you going to take my imperial sister?" Mu Xuanming roared.

Mo Junqing didn't look back: "She tried her best for this country, her hands were stained with blood in order to support you on the throne, and she did her best to rectify the chaotic country, but she never really left the imperial city!" Now I'm going to take her away! Take her to see the country she's spent her life protecting! ”

"Stop! You are allowed to take my imperial sister away! ”

"Your Majesty, before the princess and the country, you have already made your choice! The talisman that controls the dark guard is the jade pendant that the princess gave you yesterday! Princess Bingfu has also been returned to the emperor, she has nothing to owe you, can't you still let her go? Remember, the princess never wants to fight for anything, and if you do, you won't have a chance to stand on the throne! As a king, you have done nothing wrong, but she is your sister......"

Mu Xuanming was stunned in place, watching the plain white skirt disappear into the night, and finally couldn't help but roar!

"Sister Huang! Elegant! ”

How could he really kill her! How could it be! His eyes were full of blood, with a hint of madness, and he hugged the cloak with Mu Qingya's blood into his arms: "No, the imperial sister will not leave me, she still has to look at me and give her a world where the four seas are leveling...... Won't leave, won't...... Sister Huang......"

In the third year of the Xuanli calendar, the eldest princess Mu Qingya died in the palace, and the emperor ordered the whole country to mourn and mourn the eldest princess! This year, the entire Lanling Kingdom was in mourning, and the pure white sand hung all over the imperial city.

Emperor Mu Xuanming changed his gentle style in the past, and his methods were ruthless and arbitrary, and he killed eighteen officials of equal size in the name of disrespect to the princess, and the atmosphere of the court was clear.
