(62) Facial change
Looking at the face in the mirror, I was in a trance. Even I began to wonder if that face ...... Who exactly?
That's my face, but it's also Diao's face...... Wang Yun cured my face? How did he cure it? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
"Shut up." Outside the door, a cold voice was heard, and the maidservants were immediately silenced.
I turned and looked at the door. What came in was the little poisonous tongue, the current Emperor Liu Xie. He walked slowly in front of me, his face still pale, and his thin body seemed to disappear in the gorgeous imperial robe at any moment.
"Is Diao Chan dead?" Looking at Liu Xie, I asked, I think I need an answer.
"It's a laugh to death." He looked at me, emphasizing.
"That's right." I nodded, my throat a little dry.
"When did you die?" I asked unusually calmly.
Diao Chan is dead? Then why didn't I die? If I were indeed the same person as her...... If she was my past life, then she died, why...... Will I be fine?
"The morning you entered the palace, Dong Zhuo killed almost all the imperial doctors in the palace." Liu Xie's voice was a little cold.
I suddenly noticed that he seemed to have grown up a lot, lost his little poisonous tongue, and talked less and less.
"I received news that Dong Zhuo led dozens of warriors to kill King Hongnong." Coldly, Liu Xie changed the topic, "Wang Situ and the imperial sister are not in the palace, my brother is in danger, and I, as the emperor, have no way at all." He looked at me, his voice still a little immature.
Is it to turn the tiger away from the mountain? Kill people outside the palace, and then send another person to take the opportunity to enter the palace to eradicate Liu Wei?!
Looking at Liu Xie in front of him, this little emperor who has been a puppet all his life, from a proud young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, to a silent and pale prince, to a helpless emperor...... This is a lot that should not be something he can afford at his age.
I have always felt sorry for this child, but such powerless pain will accompany him throughout his life.
"What are your plans?" Straightening up his small body, Liu Xie looked at me and asked a little abruptly.
I sighed, it was still not tactful enough, he could have behaved more naturally, but I still fulfilled his wish and said, "I want to see Dong Zhuo." ”
"Dong Zhuo will kill you." He frowned.
"Perhaps, killing me will appease his anger?" I curled my lips and gave advice as if I wasn't talking about my own life and death.
Since history has come to this point, and since Dong Zhuo is my concern in this different time and space, then it should be most appropriate for him to personally end my life, which should not exist in this other time and space.
Besides, I have become Diao Chan, a woman who can't be herself again, staying here, carrying the name of Diao Chan, I will eventually become a chess piece in the hands of Princess Wan, a chess piece used to hurt Dong Zhuo.
Let me be selfish, if I die, the game will be over. End this sad game with my death...... It couldn't have been better.
Liu Xie was slightly stunned.
I laughed, raised my hand, and habitually stroked his hair.
His black hair, meticulously combed and coiled in a bun, was messed up by me, but he didn't dodge it.
"Let's go, take me to Yong'an Palace." I stroked his hair, in history, Liu Wei was imprisoned there, and was eventually killed there, "Didn't you come here in exchange for your brother's life with my life?" I smiled and nodded.
The pale face stiffened slightly, Liu Xie looked up at me, a little stunned, a little panicked, and a look that I couldn't understand.
"Let's go." I took his skinny hand and walked out of the room. I still remember that time, he was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo in the dark room, and I held his hand like this.
"Your Majesty, Lord Situ told Miss Diao Chan that she can't go anywhere." Xiaomei and a few handmaidens panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop me.
I stopped and looked at Liu Xie.
He pursed his lips and gently spat out two words: "Get out of the way." ”
I laughed, this kid, sure enough, has also learned to weigh the pros and cons, who is more important and who can be sacrificed, he has a clear share. If it weren't for the troubled times, if it wasn't for the lack of help, maybe he would be a good emperor.
A good emperor who has the power of life and death, and a good emperor who can sacrifice everything to accomplish great things.
All the way, he let me hold his hand and didn't say a word. Walking through the hidden paths in the palace, there are familiar places and unfamiliar places, and I also passed by the place where I once roasted sweet potatoes with Liu Wei in a dragon robe.
In front of a somewhat dilapidated palace gate, Liu Xie stopped.
I looked up and saw a plaque engraved with "Yong'an Palace", which was very dilapidated.
"Now I regret it, I can send you back to Zhaode Palace." Liu Xie lowered his head and held my hand slightly tightened.
I laughed, and my heart was not so cold: "Thank you, little poisonous tongue." ”
Releasing his hand, I pushed the door open. There are dozens of samurai inside the gate, and it seems that none of them are ordinary people.
"Who's coming?" There was an angry roar, but after seeing my appearance clearly, they were all stunned, and looked at each other in some surprise.
"Ma'am?" The first man exclaimed.
I smiled lightly, I haven't seen them, but they should have seen Diao. As they looked at each other, I walked into the Yong'an Palace calmly.
"The king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers do not die, it is regarded as disloyalty! You rebels and thieves are deceitful and guilty! Inside the room, there was a sharp scolding, which sounded very old.
"Don't delay any longer, no one will come to your rescue, drink this wine, and go happily." A voice came out coldly, some familiar, some unfamiliar.
"Ah...... You ......," the old man's voice died away.
"Queen Mother!" Liu Wei's voice of surprise suddenly came out.
Startled, I rushed forward and pushed open the door, and the room suddenly lit up.
I saw a shabby-dressed woman staggered to the ground, who had been pampered and now skinny, with a white line wrapped around her neck, her eyes bulging, her tongue exposed, and her death in a terrible state.
This woman turned out to be the once prominent Empress Dowager He.
Between honor and disgrace, the situation changes, and it is so elusive.
Next to the body of the Empress Dowager He, there was a man standing, extremely tall, wearing a golden crown of hair, a dark green robe that made him more and more upright, and on his left shoulder was a pair of beast-mouthed arm guards, carrying Fang Tian's halberd in one hand. It was probably me who suddenly opened the door and the room suddenly lit up, and he turned his head sideways and squinted in discomfort.
Liu Wei, who was standing on the side, slowly stepped forward, knelt down, stretched out his hand and gently closed the eyes of the Empress Dowager He, and covered his face with his long hair that had fallen down.
Dong Zhuo was not there, it was to divert the tiger from the mountain, he killed outside the city, attracting the attention of Wang Yun and Princess Wan, but he sent Lu Bu to kill Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong.
Looking at me, Lu Bu frowned for a long time, his cold eyes suddenly brightened, and he approached me in a few steps.
I lowered my eyes slightly, I was thinking...... Does the decisive conspiracy of the Taishi Mansion have his share? It's not that I'm suspicious, but now, I'm really a soldier.
"Smile, are you laughing?" He reached out and touched my cheek with some uncertainty, a face without a blemish.
I stepped back slightly, looking up at him.
He was stunned: "You...... Is it a smile? ”
Looking at him, I was silent.
Sure enough, hesitated again. Hehe, that scar, it's not the right time to come, and it's not the right time to go.
"Wuyan, you're here." Behind him, a soft voice sounded.
I was slightly stunned, and turned to look at where the voice came from, it was Liu Wei. He was dressed in a slightly old white single robe, and his misty eyes were still strangely beautiful. Those beautiful eyes, which have always been foggy, actually see through a lot of things. Because I know everything, I can face everything so calmly, even ...... Death.
"The Queen Mother is dead." He spoke again, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness.
"Hmm." I didn't consciously respond.
"I'm going to die, too." It was as if there was a layer of fog on it, and those beautiful eyes looked at me.
I was dumbfounded.
Historically, he deserved to die......
The originally bright eyes became slightly cold, and Lu Bu took the wine tripod and stepped forward: "Lord Wang, please." ”
Looking at the liquid glowing with cold light in the wine ding, Liu Wei didn't reach out to take it.
"The person in the general's heart is right in front of you, can't you recognize it?" In a soft voice, Liu Wei looked up at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's slightly stunned expression was reflected in his beautiful eyes covered with fog.
I didn't say anything, I just looked at Liu Wei, this kid has a seven-trick heart.
"Eyes are deceiving." Bending his lips, Liu Wei reached out and took the wine tripod from Lu Bu's hand, and shook it slightly, the cold liquid shook slightly, rippling with cold light, "But the heart doesn't." ”
I stepped forward and slapped the wine pod he had put to his lips: "Do you know that you are stupid and drink it when you know it is poisonous?" ”
Seeing the wine tripod rolling down and the cold liquid spilling on the ground, Liu Wei bent his eyes slightly, staring at the wine tripod that fell to the ground, but he didn't look at me: "You were robbed of your identity by others, aren't you stupid?" ”
I'm speechless, what a fool.
"It is providence not to be an emperor; Losing one's life is also providential. Liu Wei smiled lightly, "In this troubled world, a weak heart is doomed to a tragic end. ”
"Then let's live hard." I spoke, a little dazed.
The palm suddenly warmed slightly, and Lu Bu's warm big hand tightly grasped my hand.
"Let's go." He took my hand and turned to leave.
I looked up at him in amazement.
"I won't kill him, you come out of the palace with me." Lu Budao, but he didn't look at me.
I didn't know what was going on in my heart, but I didn't struggle and let him hold my hand.
"General, Master Taishi's order ......" On the side, an adjutant general cautiously reminded him.
Lu Bu glanced away coldly, and the deputy general immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.
Walked out of Yong'an Palace by Lu Bu, I looked back at Liu Wei, he stood in place and watched, his beautiful eyes did not escape the luck of a catastrophe, but it was still foggy and unreal.
The adjutant generals who accompanied him carefully arranged the body of the Queen Mother and took them out of the palace.
Liu Wei did not stop it.
At the gate of Yong'an Palace, the little poisonous tongue stood as if he had been punished, and he kept standing, under the gorgeous robe, his thin back was straight.
"Go in, your royal brother is fine." I spoke, and at the end, I said in a low voice, "I'm going to leave the palace, be careful yourself in the future." ”
After saying that, Lubra left with me. After leaving the palace, he gave a few orders, and then sent the generals to leave first. Holding my hand, Lu Bu walked slowly all the way, and the red rabbit horse always followed behind.
The street was still bustling, but I wasn't in the mood to go shopping.
Lu Bu paused for a moment, let go of my hand, and seemed to buy something. I lowered my eyes, but suddenly remembered the sound of "dong dong" in my ears.
Stunned, I looked up at Lu Bu, and what he shook lightly in his hand was actually a rattle.
He seemed to take my hand again as if nothing had happened, and walked forward silently.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......" all the way, he kept shaking the rattle in his hand.
With a tall posture, a high bun, and a appearance that cannot be ignored, the gorgeous and arrogant Fang Tian painting halberd on the side hangs on the red rabbit horse, such a man, but he has been shaking the small rattle in his hand, which can't help but make passers-by look sideways.
But he didn't seem to realize it, and he still shook it gently.
"Actually...... Do you remember me...... "he said suddenly, "I was blind, but I was blind...... I can't tell who's who, I can't even recognize Xiaoxiao......" His hand holding the rattle tightened slightly.
There was a crack in the rattle.
"Xiaoxiao knows that the little medicine jar has always been stupid, not smart enough, and can't learn to be as careful as dust...... It's just a martial artist......"
Looking at his lonely figure, listening to him muttering inconsequential words, I sighed lightly, looked sideways at him, and relieved: "Eyes, are you all right?" ”
"Huh?" Hearing my voice, he was slightly stunned, looked back at me, and then nodded heavily, "Hmm! There was still a little childishness between the sword eyebrows.
"When did you recognize me?"
He was slightly stunned, then understood, and replied honestly: "That time, when you and I took you to the Taishi Mansion on the way, I heard you shaking a rattle. ”
That's when I understood.
I lowered my eyes.
However, he didn't tell Dong Zhuo. Gently playing with my fingers, I was silent.
"But I'm more sure it's because ...... If it was a daughter-in-law, it would be impossible not to notice that my eyes were healing, because ...... Xiaoxiao is the kindest......"
Kindness?
I laughed.
Suddenly I thought of the man who was always dressed in bright purple, and in his words, it was a useless woman's kindness.
"Sure enough, it was a smile that healed my eyes." The gloom in his eyes finally lifted a little.
"That night, you said you were going to bring Dong Zhuo to see me, what about you? Where did it go? With a clenched fist, I finally spoke.
I want to hear his answer, I want to know that the little medicine pot didn't lie to me, didn't betray me.
Lu Bu was stunned, then gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, and the green tendons on his forehead gradually appeared.
"I went to Liangzhou." He spoke lowly.
"What?" I'm confused.
"The woman said that Dong Zhuo went back to Liangzhou to find a very important person."
"So?" I had some of this in mind.
"I thought Dong Zhuo had also discovered Diao Chan's secret, I thought Dong Zhuo was going to Liangzhou to find you, so I ......" Lu Bu gritted his teeth.
"So you rushed back to Liangzhou overnight?" I was relieved to hear this.
OK...... The little medicine jar didn't lie to me.
