[48] Burning dragon robes
"You nasty stinky turtledove!" Looking at me, the little poisonous tongue played his poisonous tongue true colors.
"Huh?" I was slightly stunned, confused, and puzzled by his increasingly high-end scolding methods.
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest!" He yelled at me.
"Oh." I nodded, indicating understanding, it turned out that I was scolding me for living in his imperial sister's bedroom.
Before the little poisonous tongue could speak, he froze suddenly. I saw that Lu Bu didn't know when he actually got up, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand pointed straight at the tip of the nose of the little poisonous tongue, only a few millimeters away.
"You...... You are presumptuous! The little poisonous tongue froze in place, and shouted in his mouth.
"I'm blind." Looking straight ahead without focus, Lu Bu grinned viciously, "Next time my halberd may be directly nailed to you, anyway, I can't see it." ”
Hearing this, the little poisonous tongue gasped in fright, took a step back, and sat on the ground with a butt.
Lu Bu took back his halberd and threw out a sentence: "Don't bully my daughter-in-law." ”
I was slightly stunned, then laughed, and finally returned to normal.
I stepped forward and reached out to help the little poisonous tongue. He slapped my hand away and got up on his own: "This is the palace, how can I let you mess around!" ”
I know that Dong Zhuo's actions hurt his royal prestige.
"I'm sorry." I opened my mouth, blurting out an apology. What am I apologizing for? Is it because of Liu Xie's sad and helpless life after that? But what position do I take to apologize?
Liu Xie shook his head, brushed his sleeves and left.
I lived in Zhaode Palace for a few days, until the wound on my shoulder and back gradually healed, I never saw Zhao Zilong, I wanted to see him, I wanted to meet the famous lonely hero in history, and I wanted to meet the ordinary man who was also driven by love......
Princess Wan is also a woman who can be protected with her life.
Within a few days, Dong Zhuo's Taiwei Mansion became the Taishi Mansion. Now in the imperial court, even if there are many dissatisfied people, but when they really see Dong Zhuo's face, except for a few diehards, the rest of the people, no one does not respect "Dong Taishi".
The royal prestige that the little poisonous tongue worked so hard to maintain is long gone, and now Dong Zhuo does not listen to the summons at all when he enters and leaves the palace, and he comes and goes as if he is in a no-man's land.
Maybe Princess Wan's methods touched Dong Zhuo's bottom line, but now Dong Zhuo's military power is in his hands, and there are four fierce generals on the side, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Guo Yan and Li Dao, who doesn't know the bravery of the Xiliang soldiers?
Lu Bu was taken back to the Taishi Mansion to treat his eyes, and I was the only one who remained in Zhaode Palace, and Dong Zhuo sometimes stayed in Zhaode Palace to accompany me. At that time, he was still the incredibly gentle Zhong Ying, not the powerful and invincible Dong Taishi.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder if the * harem that Dong Zhuo will spread in the future is the rumor caused by his frequent visits to Zhaode Palace, so that it is out of control with false rumors...... It's really ridiculous like this, but history only cares about the ending, and who really knows the process in between?
The face of history is becoming clearer and clearer, so clear that I have to face up to its existence.
The palace is very calm, and in her territory, Princess Wan naturally doesn't dare to blatantly attack me, so she can only occupy the magpie's nest by me. After living in Zhaode Palace for a long time, I feel a little nostalgic for a corner of the palace, the cottage where I used to live, so I left Zhaode Palace and followed my memory to find it.
Walking all the way, standing at the door of the room, I suddenly felt a little abrupt, this place should have been assigned to other palace maids as a residence. Standing at the door of the house until it was dark, and no one came, I couldn't resist pushing the door and entering the house.
It was dark in the room, so I lit the lamp and noticed that there was someone on the bed.
"Who?" Pursing my lips and frowning, my heart drumming slightly, I raised the candle flame and approached the man lying on the bed.
I was slightly stunned.
"Little white...... Uh, Liu Bian? ”
Lying elegantly on the bed, the little white rabbit in the dragon robe was looking at me with half-squinted eyes, and his eyes were like glass in the flickering candlelight, incredibly beautiful.
"You didn't call me the emperor." He pursed his lips and corrected my mistake.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Slightly stunned, I immediately returned to my normal color and said.
"Actually, you also know that my dragon chair is unstable, right?" Liu Wei smiled and pulled me to sit down next to him.
I was slightly stunned, yes, I knew it a long time ago, since I knew his name, this is his life, and history has been written a long time ago.
"Originally, I didn't want to be the emperor, but then the queen mother won the throne for me, I thought, maybe I can be a good emperor......" With his head resting on his hands, he said slowly, "Actually, although Xie is young, he is much smarter than me......"
I watched him silent.
He looked sideways at me: "After you left, I often came to this room, it was very quiet, and no one disturbed me." ”
"Hmm." I answered softly, but I didn't know what to say.
"Make me shaved ice to eat." He sat up suddenly, smiling.
"In this kind of weather, it will be cold if you eat it." I opened my mouth, and I finally just spat out a sentence.
"Don't be afraid, I'm hungry." He pulled me up, squatted in the corner of the wall, pulled a small hole, and dragged out a jar, "I buried ice cubes and fruits here after returning to the palace last time, you see......" He opened the lid of the altar, and then stuffed his head, and did not make a sound for a long time.
I stepped forward to look.
He suddenly looked up at me: "It's all ......" It seems to be covered with a layer of fog, and the expression in his beautiful eyes is very complicated.
I crouched down and saw half a jar of water, the so-called fruit, a few sweet potatoes floating on the water. Somehow, I suddenly remembered the night before the crossing, the small stall selling roasted sweet potatoes.
"It's okay to make a fire in the house, right?" Grinning, I laughed.
Liu Wei looked at me and was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's a big deal to burn this room, no problem." As he spoke, he slowly took off the dragon robe on his body, formed a ball, and put it on the ground and lit it.
The smell of burnt fabric is somewhat pungent, but it is flammable.
Looking at Liu Wei's delicate and beautiful face in the firelight, I was slightly stunned, and my nose was a little sour.
"The fire is lit." He looked up and smiled at me, his gray eyes reflected the fire, and the smile was so beautiful that it was just a dream, so unreal.
I answered, rolled up my sleeves, fished the sweet potatoes out of the jar, and roasted them on the fire.
Roasting sweet potatoes with dragon robes, we should be the first people in ancient and modern times.
Putting the futon on the ground, Liu Wei sat on the ground in a single coat, and watched me bake sweet potatoes intently.
…… Until the dragon robe turned into a pile of ashes, and the fire gradually extinguished.
Peeling off the burnt skin, I handed him the sweet potato, and Liu Wei silently took it and took a bite.
"It's so sweet." He raised his head and smiled slightly, then lowered his head to bite, but his expression was a little lonely.
"Because it's been soaked in ice water. Sweet potatoes will be sweeter when they have been frozen. ”
"So?" Liu Wei smiled lightly.
"People are the same, the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Looking at Liu Wei, I unconsciously spoke. I don't know if this counts as giving him hope, but I know his end, and this line is almost a slim hope for him, so what's the point?
"Hmm." He replied lightly, ate the last bite of sweet potato, and stood up, "I should go back, otherwise the queen mother will look for me again." ”
I nodded, watched him walk out the door dressed in a single robe, and then stood up as well, extinguished the candle, and prepared to go back to Zhaode Palace.
Standing outside the door and closing the door, I turned to leave. When he returned to Zhaode Palace, he bumped into the palace maid Xiaomei head-on.
"Miss, the princess has something to look for you!" Xiaomei suddenly took a step back in a panic, "Something happened in the palace......"
I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Chen Liuwang was locked up by Lord Dong!" Xiaomei said hurriedly.
"What?" I was shocked, Dong Zhuo is now in power, and no one in the government and the opposition dares to compete with him, but he is so blatantly imprisoning the little poisonous tongue......
"I heard from the princess that King Chen Liuwang had an argument with Lord Dong in the main hall this afternoon, and then he never returned to ......the palace," Xiaomei said.
"Hmm." I answered absentmindedly, and when I turned around, I saw Princess Wan.
She stood behind me with a pale face, her slender fingers clasped tightly.
"I don't care who is the emperor, I just ask you to keep Xie'er, okay?" After looking at me for a long time, Princess Wan bit her lip, and then slowly knelt down.
Looking at the princess who was still proudly upright even if she knelt, I was silent, such a lonely and arrogant woman.
"Okay." I nodded in agreement, seeing Princess Wan's happy and incredulous eyes, pursed my lips slightly, and spoke, "Unless, there is an antidote to restore Lu Bu's eyes." ”
"Lu Bu's eyes?" Princess Wan looked up at me in disappointment, "I don't even understand how he was poisoned, how can I help him detoxify?" ”
"Ding Yuan's poison, Wang Yun has an antidote." Ten simple words, as smart as Princess Wan, naturally understand. And with Wang Yun's foolish loyalty to the royal family, when the princess spoke, he categorically would not refuse, and he did not dare to refuse.
Bowing her head and groaning, Princess Wan stood up: "Okay, I'll go to Wang Situ to ask for an antidote, you go to save Xie'er, he is under house arrest in Zhaohuan Palace." ”
I nodded.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I want to leave the palace." Commanding the palace maid on the side, Princess Wan looked at me again, "I'll go to Wang Situ, and I hope you can keep your promise." With that, she hurried away.
Looking at Princess Wan's back, I turned around and headed towards Zhaohuan Palace. Looking up at the sky, it was already dark and dreary, and my heart tightened slightly, and my steps unconsciously accelerated.
I remember that the little poisonous tongue was afraid of the dark.
When I arrived at Zhaohuan Palace, I unconsciously looked up at the bright palace lamps hanging high in front of the palace gate.
At this time, the gate of Zhaohuan Palace was heavily guarded, all of them were wearing heavy armor, and their faces were solemn. I bowed my head and was about to enter the door. With a bang, the guards at the door blocked my way. I sighed and looked up.
"Miss?" Fan Chou, who was on night patrol on the side, stepped forward.
My eyes lit up slightly, and I sighed, but luckily it was him.
"Miss, what are you doing here?"
"I want to see King Chen Liu." I put it bluntly.
"This ......," Fan Chou hesitated slightly, "Your Excellency has given an order, and no one is allowed to see King Chen Liu." ”
"Including me?"
Fan Chou frowned in embarrassment.
"Open a back door, we're old friends." I looked up at him with a smile on my face.
"Your Excellency has given an order, and no one is allowed to see King Chen Liu." Fan Chou took a step back, his face strained, still insisting on not letting go.
"Fan Chou......" I grinned and said again.
"Please don't embarrass your subordinates, Miss." Fan Chou intercepted my words and didn't let me take half a step.
I smiled, looked at Fan Chou, and slowly spit out a sentence: "Miss's kindness, Fan Chou remembers it in his heart, if he is in trouble in the future, Fan Chou will repay him with death." ”
This is what Fan Chou said to me that day.
Fan Chou was stunned for a moment, froze in place, and was speechless for a long time.
"On the day Dong Zhuo went on the expedition, I was alone and almost died under Ling'er, and when I returned home afterwards, who begged me to cover up the truth? Who begged me to spare Ling'er from dying? For this reason, I have lost the happiness that is about to come, and for this reason, I have become what I am today......" One hand slowly stroked the ruined face, and a slightly cold voice spit out from my mouth, word by word, "Do you remember your words?" ”
The blood on Fan Chou's face disappeared minute by minute, and he spit out a few words with a pale face: "You go in." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the door of Zhaohuan Palace slowly opened in front of me.
I lowered my eyes and walked into Zhaohuan Palace. Exposing people's scars and giving grace to repay these methods, haven't I already been familiar with them? Even to save the little poisonous tongue, I asked Princess Wan to relieve Lu Bu's poison in exchange. However, why is it that when I see Fan Chou's pale face, I still feel unspeakably uncomfortable?
Will I be able to convince myself? Why can't I convince myself? The end of soft-heartedness is nothing, I am soft-hearted to others, how can others ever be soft on me? Means, sometimes a shortcut to an end.
There is a huge Zhaohuan Palace, not even a palace maid can be seen, the emptiness is a little scary, I want to find someone to ask, but there is not even half a figure. I searched room by room, but I didn't see a little poisonous tongue. The last room, looking through the narrow crack in the door, was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't think about leaving, it was so dark that the guy wouldn't even go in.
Just as he was about to leave, he faintly heard sobs coming from the room. I listened closely, and sure enough, it wasn't an auditory hallucination.
"Little poisonous tongue? Little poisonous tongue, are you in there? I knocked on the door and asked.
The sobbing stopped abruptly, and silence returned to all around.
"I'm not there." I pretended to be disappointed and pretended to be leaving.
"Ann...... An Ruo ......" A voice as thin as a gnat suddenly sounded timidly, completely losing the arrogance of the little poisonous tongue.
I bent my lips and wanted to push the door in, but I found that the door was locked, and my smile froze slightly at the corner of my lips, was it Dong Zhuo's lock?
"I'm here, don't be afraid." I softened my voice and tried to make my voice sound as warm as possible.
"I'm not afraid." The voice was thick nasal, but it spoke quickly, as if he was afraid to let others know that he was afraid.
"yes, I know." I let myself laugh out loud, "The little poisonous tongue won't be afraid." There was a smile in my voice, but I knew there was no smile on my lips.
The voice fell silent again. After a long time, it sounded again: "Are you gone?" The voice of the little poisonous tongue was a little timid.
"Not yet." Sitting on the floor against the door, I answered him softly.
“…… It's so dark here. He sniffed, his voice trembling.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." I reached through the crack in the door at the threshold, "I'm here, you come to the door." ”
There was silence on the other side of the door, and then there was a sound of "rustling", and after a long time, a hand took my hand with a slight hesitation.
I grabbed his hand with my backhand, and his hand was a little small, cold, and trembling slightly.
"Sit and sleep for a while, and when you wake up, it's dawn." I spoke softly.
"You, are you Taishi Dong's person?" The little poisonous tongue suddenly asked.
I was slightly stunned: "Well, yes." ”
"Taishi Dong said that he would abolish the imperial brother and let me be the emperor." The little poisonous tongue whispered softly.
"You don't want to?" Holding his hand through the crack in the door, I asked.
"I don't want to be emperor." The voice of the little poisonous tongue came into my ears clearly, "I don't want to see the argument sad either, except for my mother, the imperial brother is the only person in the palace who is really good to me." ”
"So Dong Zhuo locked you up?"
"Hmm." The little poisonous tongue replied, and said, "Why do you want to be with such a bad person? ”
Villain? I was surprised, and I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't. Is Dong Zhuo a bad guy? Perhaps, perhaps, in the eyes of many people. However, if there is a man, he would rather be sorry for the whole world than for you; He would rather abandon the whole world than give up on you, such a bad person, such a lonely person, will you give up on him?
I won't.
"Because, Dong Zhuo is the first person in this world to be good to me." I spoke, and though he wasn't the only one, he was the first person on this plane to be nice to me.
"Oh." The little poisonous tongue whispered as if to understand, and then held my hand tightly and said no more.
I looked up at the ink-stained night sky and fell asleep in a daze.
In my sleep, someone covered me with clothes, and I opened my eyes in confusion to see a pair of beautiful gray eyes, and he stood in front of me, slender and beautiful.
He was dressed in a white single coat, and the rising sun was behind him, making him as beautiful as an immortal.
Looking down at the robe on his body, it turned out to be a brand-new dragon robe. I looked up again and looked at him: "Your Majesty? "How did he get in?
"Soon it won't be." He sat down beside me with a smile and reached through the crack in the door, his slender fingers as beautiful as white jade in the sunlight.
There was silence in the room.
"I said I would persuade the emperor, and they let me in." Liu Wei looked sideways at me and said with a smile.
There was still no sound in the room, but I knew that Little Tongue was awake as his grip on my hand tightened unconsciously.
"In fact, whoever becomes the emperor is the same." No one answered him, Liu Wei continued, "Xie, you agreed to Master Dong, I'm so stupid, I'm really not suitable to be an emperor." ”
There was still no response from the house.
"Xie, haven't you always listened to me the most?" Liu Wei said with a faint smile, his beautiful eyes narrowed into a line, "As long as everyone is alive, as long as the emperor is still surnamed Liu, who is it, and what does it matter?" ”
There was silence in the room, and after a long time, at last there was a low sob, which grew louder and louder......
I know, the little poisonous tongue compromised.
Under the rising sun, Liu Wei raised his head, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, so beautiful that it was so beautiful that it seemed to be shattered at the touch of a touch.
Suddenly, a shadow obscured the sunlight.
I looked up and saw Dong Zhuo with a gloomy face, followed by Fan Chou.
