057 Who died in the fire
I returned to the Beast Palace and found that Zhou Wei did not have fun in the main hall for the first time, but wrote a book by the dragon case in the side hall.
I approached and saluted him.
He stopped writing and looked up at me: "Are you alright?" ”
"Emperor Xie cares, the slave maid's body has basically recovered."
"Grind! All of them are clumsy. He glanced in disgust at the palace people waiting next to him.
I replaced Miyato and began to grind the ink with my hands, and my eyes fell on his pen to see what he was writing.
This look scared me so much that I almost dropped my jaw in shock, "Your Majesty, you ......"
He slammed his pen and glared at me coldly: "What the hell do you want to say?" ”
I looked at the golden letters on the holy decree, as if there were needles buried in each stroke, and my eyes hurt:
Fengtian carried it, and the emperor's edict said: I heard that Qin Mengxi, the daughter of Qin Taishi, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance. King Mu Zhou Yun has reached the age of marriage, and he should choose a virtuous woman to match. I bow to the letter that the two of them are made for heaven and earth, and in order to become the beauty of beauty, Qin Mengxi is specially married to King Mu as a concubine. All the etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day......
Zhou Wei pinched my cheek and asked, "Was it the news you leaked last time?" That's why he came to talk to me about what kind of bullshit way not to marry! ”
I was pinched by him, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty, since Prince Mu is unwilling, why do you ......?"
"Fart, this kind of thing can be messed around with him! He doesn't want to, can I, as a brother, let him go? ”
He said it righteously, as if he was so reasonable, I was speechless!
He let go of my face and continued to finish the ending.
I was so anxious: "Your Majesty, if you don't discuss with King Mu, you are thinking about him, if it affects the relationship between the two of you, it will not be cost-effective." ”
After he finished writing the last pen, he exhaled lightly, put the pen on the pen rest, looked at his work with a very satisfied expression, and said: "I can't tell him, he can't do it if he knows." Take the jade seal. ”
I didn't move, my mind was in a mess, I just knew that I couldn't give marriage, I couldn't give marriage. This is different from rewarding a few beauties casually, giving marriage is not only about two people but also two family forces, King Mu can ignore the beauties sent, but he can't slack off on the daughter of the other people, because behind her is the power of Qin Taishi.
What should King Mu do when the time comes, accept it or not? What should I do?
At this time, the palace people had already sent the jade seal to Zhou Wei, and I saw that Zhou Wei had sealed the cinnabar and moved it to the holy decree, and my mind was suddenly blank, and the only remaining consciousness was that this seal must not be covered.
"Your Majesty!"
I couldn't control anything, and suddenly I stretched out my hand to cover the holy decree, and the heavy jade seal suddenly pressed against the back of my hand, and his strength was so great that my fingers were about to be crushed.
Zhou Wei suddenly raised his head and stared at me in disbelief, and the palace people also stared at me and him, and the air seemed to freeze.
"You're fucking tired of being alive, aren't you?!" Zhou Wei roared and grabbed my collar, my feet were off the ground little by little, and I couldn't breathe more and more, and my face was flushed.
I didn't beg for mercy, I didn't struggle, I knew what the consequences would be, but I had to do it.
As soon as I thought that King Mu would marry another woman and have children, my heart was like a knife, it was better to let me die, I don't know when I started to have this thought, but what I can be sure of is that I have fallen in love with him, very deep, deep.
Zhou Wei threw me to the ground and scolded: "Cheap girl, I have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard, I am really used to you, come on!" ”
Hearing Zhou Wei call someone, my heart was cold, and I shivered, what would he do with me? In his usual style, will he drag me to feed the tigers, or will he divide the corpses of the five horses?
Several eunuchs saluted and waited for his dispatch.
"Shut him up in the firewood room, cut off water and food, and no one is allowed to approach him without my orders."
The eunuchs were stunned: "Yes." ”
I was dragged away by the eunuchs, and to be honest I was surprised myself, just locked me up in the firewood room? This is not Zhou Wei's style of doing things, after all, he was just trembling with anger from me, unless there is some terrible creature in the firewood room!
Out of the palace gate, the two little eunuchs let me go, and their attitude towards me was very respectful, and they patted me on the back along the way, saying that the emperor was really good to me, and no one in this palace dared to do this except me.
When I arrived at the firewood room, I found that it was just an ordinary firewood room, full of wood for cooking on the fire in the Imperial Dining Hall, and because the windows were also full of wood, even during the day, the room was dark and dark.
One of the little eunuchs looked at me and said in embarrassment: "Father-in-law Qing, the emperor told you to lock you up, and you said ......."
I glanced at the lock in his hand, nodded, and said, "Well, lock it." ”
He smiled gratefully and ashamedly: "Father-in-law Xie Qing understands, the emperor is angry for a while, and when he is angry, he will release you, you can be wronged first......"
"I know in my heart, you can go back." I waved my hand and motioned for them to go out.
I know what they're worried about, but I'm afraid I'll blame them for my anger when I go out. In fact, this kind of worry is not unreasonable, those who dare to be angry at the top but dare not speak, but take the people below to be angry.
The room smelled of wood, which was not unpleasant, so I found a clean place to sit down. In all fairness, Zhou Wei is really good to me, if this matter is replaced by someone else today, I am afraid that he will be cold at this time.
It's just that I'm more worried about the paper marriage contract now, is it already in effect? Is someone holding the holy message in front of King Muslim? What will he do?
The more I thought about it, the more chilled I became, like falling into an ice cave, and it hurt with cold. Suddenly, there was a very frightening conjecture, did Zhou Wei lock me up here because he was afraid that I would sabotage it, and when I was released, King Mu's marriage would be over!
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, grabbing my hair and feeling extremely sad and angry, if that's the case, just don't let me go out, just start a fire in the firewood room and burn me to death.
In the middle of the night I slept by the firewood, only to feel that the air was getting hotter and hotter, with a pungent smell of burning, I immediately opened my eyes and found that the firewood room was unusually bright, and I turned my head to see that the firewood by the window was actually on fire, and the fire was very fierce.
I was stunned for a few seconds, I really suspected that I was dreaming, I just said that a fire burned me, how could it work so quickly?! God, which fairy have I offended?
In this house, except for firewood, there is nothing that can extinguish the fire, and Zhou Wei punished me for cutting off water and food, not even a pot of tea. I had no choice but to take off my clothes and go to the flames.
The firewood in the house was relatively dry, and the fire spread very quickly, and in just a few seconds, the light of the fire surrounded me half-way, and the thin clothes in my hand not only failed to extinguish the fire, but were buried in the flames.
The air was unusually hot, and I felt like all the moisture on my body had been evaporated. I called for help, while banging on the door with my body, but after hitting for a long time, the door did not move, and there were only a few palace people who kept vigil in the imperial dining room at night, and this is the more remote location of the imperial dining room, and the hope of expecting others to hear my cry for help was a little slim.
The wood burns a lot of oxygen, and I just felt dizzy when I hit the door too hard. I fell to the ground, breathing in what little air I had left, and even the floor was roasting like a pan at this point.
It became more and more difficult for me to breathe, the smoke kept getting into my throat, and my tears kept flowing, and they were immediately dried by the scorching fire. Every inch of my skin hurts like a thousand pins and needles.
The fire seemed to have burned up all the oxygen, and my brain was on the verge of shock due to lack of oxygen, and all consciousness gradually disappeared, leaving only a faint shadow, like moonlight, like jasper.
I don't know how long it was, it seemed like a few seconds, and it seemed like a century. It was as if my body was surrounded by a cool stream that took me out of the volcanic hell.
I instinctively approached this clear stream, and the cold feeling was too comfortable. But soon there was a violent shock to our bodies, and I was back in the furnace.
"Qingyang, Qingyang......" that clear stream is calling me.
I tried to open my eyes, but there was fire and smoke in front of me, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and then the voice called me twice, and I heard it very clearly, it was him, it was him!
I can't tell you what mood it was, surprise, emotion, madness......
"Quick, get out first......"
I felt next to him, close enough to barely make out his silhouette. I saw King Mu kneeling on one knee, one hand supporting the ground, and his expression looked a little difficult and painful.
It was only then that I noticed that the firewood room I was in had become a real fire, and the flames were overwhelming and irreversible.
I tugged at his sleeve and tried him to take me out of here.
But he didn't move, but said, "You go first." ”
I was puzzled and wanted to ask him why, but my lips were so dry that they cracked several times as soon as I moved, and I didn't dare to speak anymore because of the pain.
At this moment, I found that King Mu was carrying a burning beam on his shoulder, which was the house burned and collapsed, and I suddenly wondered, why did he suddenly put me down by a sudden shock when he was holding me to leave?
The beam hit him, and he could get rid of it, but at this time, the beam and pillar had become a fulcrum supporting the ridge of the roof on our heads, and if he dodged the ridge above our heads, it would inevitably collapse, and none of us would be able to escape.
"Walk quickly, climb out if you climb." He said with a frowning brow, his voice hoarse from the thick smoke.
I shook my head desperately. I confess that I have no reason at this moment, I just know that I can't leave him alone in this raging fire.
"Let's go!" He stared into my eyes and cried, his voice already trembling, and the leaping light of the fire burned violently in his eyes, like two firebirds about to fall into hell.
I thought the moisture on my body had been dried by the fire, but two more lines of hot tears came out of my eyes.
