Zhuo Jiu and Hatsu were crying on the edge of the pit, seeing the shovels of the guards, with one shovel after another of the soil, covering Zhiqiu's coffin...... Gradually, even the lid of the coffin was half covered with dirt......

Rong Yunxi slowly stepped forward, took off the handkerchief around his waist, and threw it on the lid of Zhiqiu's coffin. staring at the coffin that was not yet covered with dirt, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhiqiu, my sister will definitely avenge you." ”

She is not afraid of being heard by the emperor. Bo Xinlan and Qin Yingyue did something vicious, couldn't she do it? Even if he wants to protect Qin Yingyue in his heart and wants to protect Qin Yingyue, he must always have a sense of proportion, right? It can't be too obvious.

In the deep palace, which woman's heart is not like this? It's all like a femme fatale! The palace wall oppresses people, who can be an exception?

She didn't want to die, she didn't want the people around her to die, and she didn't want her father and mother to die, so she could only die as her enemy.

You live and die, she can't be negligent anymore.

Her position is the power in her hands, the master of the harem, one person under ten thousand people, why should she ignore it? Why not make good use of it?

Sadly, in the end, like all the poor queens in all dynasties, all she can hold on to is her own status and the power in her hands.

But it's better to be sad than to be pitiful, right?

She didn't want to be pathetic.

Her enemies are not merciful, and if she loses her position one day, her enemies will never let her out of the palace alive. So in order to be alive, she can only become a real powerhouse in Weiyang Palace, and only in this way can she control her own destiny. She wants to leave after victory, not to be a deserter after defeat, and she does not allow herself to become a coward.

Shovel by shovel of dirt gradually covered the entire deep pit...... Rong Yunxi watched the guards knock out the land, saw them pile up a grave out of soil, and saw them put the tombstone with "Rong's Zhiqiu's Tomb" on the head of this small new grave.

The vermilion lacquer on the tombstone was not dry, and when it was erected, the first-class red lacquer fell, like crying blood.

Zhuo Jiu hurriedly rushed forward and directly pushed the first-class red paint up with his hands, leaving it in the groove that was chiseled.

Seeing the red stained on his hands, he was in a trance, and he actually felt that this was the blood from Zhiqiu, and his tears couldn't help but fall uncontrollably.

Just before sunrise, the mountain is quiet and windless, making this new tomb look extraordinarily peaceful.

Rong Yunxi felt that Zhiqiu should be relieved, and Zhiqiu should not blame her...... Zhiqiu has always believed in her, and when she thought about it, she said that she would avenge Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu was sure of it. Seeing that Zhuo Jiu was so affectionate to her, Zhiqiu had no regrets. I hope that her grave will always be as windless and rainless as it is now.

Rong Yunxi watched quietly, not to mention leaving, the emperor naturally didn't say to leave, and the others naturally could only wait. Rong Yunxi looked at it for a while, and knew that even if he watched it here for a day and a night, it would be impossible for the people in this new tomb to come back to life. Somehow, I suddenly figured it out, so I just sighed and turned around, wanting to go down the mountain. The emperor followed closely, and the others naturally followed.

Chu Xia took a deep look at Zhiqiu, gritted her teeth, and said secretly: "Zhiqiu, my sister must let those people die well!" When I avenge you, my sister will come to see you with their blood! ”

After that, he wiped the tears on his face and caught up with Rong Yunxi.

Rong Yunxi found that the emperor was walking behind her, so she deliberately slowed down and waited for the emperor to walk forward. found that she slowed down, and the emperor's footsteps slowed down. Therefore, he simply stopped, turned sideways to make way for the emperor, and let the emperor get into the carriage first.

The emperor's footsteps paused, but he only sighed lightly, and strode towards the carriage. Hop into the carriage first, pull the curtain, and reach out to hold her.

Rong Yunxi saw that he stretched out his hand to her, just like every time before. In front of the Beigong Gate, in front of Jingzhao Mansion, in Taoyuan Town, under Qingyun Mountain, under Huai'an Mansion, under Chongyang Mountain, and outside the General's Mansion and King Chen's Mansion, but at this time...... There was no longer a familiar smile on his face.

He frowned, looking preoccupied. The hand he handed out also looked so unfamiliar.

Her slender and good-looking hands were already familiar to her, but at this time, she suddenly felt as if it was the first time she had seen them.

Rong Yunxi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty", then shook the emperor's hand and jumped into the carriage.

At this time, she clearly knew that what she was holding was the emperor's hand, not her husband and her lover. She didn't dare to put her place in a mess anymore, because the lesson was painful enough.

The emperor didn't say anything, but after pulling Rong Yunxi into the carriage, he leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes.

When he used to ride in the same car, he would often close his eyes like this. When I first saw him, Rong Yunxi felt that his quiet and closed eyes were very good-looking, and gradually he was not surprised to see him. But at this time, Rong Yunxi felt that the same action, she saw it, but it was very different from her previous state of mind. She could feel that his own state of mind at this time was very different from before.

I don't know when his eyebrows are no longer stretched, but tightly locked, and the word "Chuan" is twisted out in the center of his eyebrows.

I really don't know when...... Since when did he no longer have the usual leisure and chic in the past, but only a sad face?

The throne is really harmful......

All the way into the capital without saying a word, it was already the sunset, the city gate was open, and the small merchants who got up early were already preparing for the day's business. The carriage traveled through the capital, and the road was smooth because of the sparse number of pedestrians. Suddenly, I heard a vendor on the side of the road shouting: "Oh no, it's on fire!" ”

Rong Yunxi lifted the curtain and looked around, and saw that not far ahead, there was a burst of firelight. Although it is not too big, it has already burned to the roof, and the flames of the roof are high and low when they jump, reflecting the glow, which is actually a beautiful scenery...... But that place ......

The position of the flame seems to be ...... Inn!

"Your Majesty, it seems that the post house has gone out of water!" Rong Yunxi turned around.

Only then did the emperor open his eyes, open the other curtain, and look in the direction of the post house.

frowned, and ordered the little eunuch who drove the car, and said, "Go to the post house." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch responded, and knew that the emperor had seen the fire and left, and it must be urgent, so he quickly drove the carriage and galloped towards the direction of the post house.

Rong Yunxi's heart rose to his throat, and he stabilized for a moment before asking, "I don't know if Your Majesty said that you want to investigate the matter mentioned by Murong Yan, can you check it?" ”

The emperor nodded, and the center of his eyebrows was still the word "Sichuan".

"The result?" Rong Yunxi asked, her voice quite calm.

The emperor opened his eyes, looked at Rong Yunxi, and said, "It is said that among the people brought by Murong Yan, there is indeed an extremely beautiful middle-aged woman, and the people who have seen the queen in the palace in the post house say that this woman is very similar to you." ”

Rong Yunxi's heart sank and asked, "In that case, why didn't Your Majesty tell your concubine?" ”

"If one person is unfortunate enough to become another person's bargaining chip, when is he safest?" The emperor asked. But he didn't wait for Rong Yunxi's answer, but replied to himself, "Only when he is still a bargaining chip, is it safest." Once a chip becomes useless, it is likely to be discarded or shattered. Since you say that Murong Yan is a tyrannical character, then the method he adopts must be to smash this useless bargaining chip. ”

Rong Yunxi listened carefully, although he knew that the emperor considered it like this, and there was indeed the emperor's own reason. Is it better to "consider" delay Murong Yan and plan to rescue him, or should he directly respond to Murong Yan and say that he would lend him troops before asking for help? Naturally, the former is more secure. With such a delay, Murong Yan did not dare to act rashly.

But because this is her mother, and because the other party is Murong Yan who cannot be measured by common sense at all, it is impossible for her to agree with the emperor's approach!

"Your Majesty has your own thoughts, and the concubines have no right to ask more. It's just that since Your Majesty has promised the concubines, shouldn't you do it? His Majesty clearly said that as soon as there is a result, he will come back and inform the concubine. This matter is related to the concubine Lu's biological mother, and the concubine should share the worries of His Majesty. Rong Yunxi said.

In addition to her and the emperor, there were only Zhuo wine and early summer in the carriage. Early summer is absolutely credible, as for the wine...... Even if Zhuo Jiu is not loyal enough to His Majesty, he must be smart enough, and he should know that it will not do him any good to sell this kind of thing. Therefore, Rong Yunxi was not worried about the existence of these two people, and still talked with the emperor as usual.

"I just found out that Murong Yan did bring a woman who looked like you, but there were some other things that I didn't find out. If it doesn't have a result, I won't tell you. The emperor said calmly.

"What else does Your Majesty have to investigate? The concubine didn't understand. Rong Yunxi really doesn't understand.

I don't know why, she always feels that the emperor has been very strange since before the night banquet in Penglai, and this strangeness is especially after the events of the night of the night banquet. She could think of some, but she was always on the sidelines, never getting to the point.

The emperor closed his eyes again and said no more.

Rong Yunxi looked at him...... I don't know if it was affected by his appearance, but gradually, he even frowned.

I hope the fire of the inn is just an accident. I hope this matter has nothing to do with Murong Yan and his mother.

The carriage galloped all the way to the outside of the post house, and saw that the post house was already in chaos, and the envoys and officials of the post house were busy putting out the burning house. The house on fire was in the third row of the backyard, and from the location, it was not inhabited by any important person, but usually by the envoys' retinue of servants and servants...... Thinking of this, Rong Yunxi's heart sank even more.

The emperor said to Zhuo Jiu: "Go down and call the guards of the Ministry of Rites to come and talk back, don't make a noise." ”

Zhuo Jiu responded, hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and went to find the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in the chaos.

Although Rong Yunxi was anxious in her heart, before she figured things out, she was still calm and didn't let herself mess up. Just waited quietly without saying a word, waiting for someone from the Ministry of Rites to report it.

Not long after, Fang Cunyu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, arrived outside the carriage, and the emperor lifted the curtain, and Fang Cunyu, who was already a flower-faced man, was busy giving a salute. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't make a noise, and say what's going on." ”

"One of the houses allotted to the slaves and maids of Snow Country caught fire. But the Snow Country envoys had already left the inn this morning when the sky was just dawn and the city gates were opened. The Emperor of Snow Country said that when he entered the palace yesterday to talk to the emperor, he had already asked the emperor to resign, and he didn't want to alarm the envoys of several other countries, so he left early. Seeing that it was too early, His Majesty thought that he was asleep, and he didn't dare to disturb His Majesty, so he thought about delaying them, saying that he would let them wait a little longer, and let His Majesty invite His Royal Highness the Prince to send him off, so as not to lose the courtesy......
