610. Chapter 610: What is written in the edict of abdication?
"What are you doing here?"
I almost gritted my teeth as I said these words, otherwise I didn't know how I could make my voice less shaky and less fragmented; The man in front of me, I used to be defenseless, and I still do the same, but I don't know when I will be crushed and defeated.
His gaze was silent on me, and he didn't speak.
He was dressed in a snow-white plain coat, which I had never seen before, and his cloud-like clothes were blown by the wind and floated slightly, but his rock-like rough temperament gave this dress another artistic conception, as if the clouds and mist surrounded a high mountain, giving people a feeling of firmness and stability like a rock.
I've seen him a lot, poor, rich, happy, downcast...... But I never thought that one day, when he stood in front of me, I would also feel strange.
I was a little uncontrollable trembling, even Shui Xiu and Kou'er next to me could see it, Shui Xiu hurriedly came over to help me, and Kou'er came up to me and said to him: "Lord Liu, you are too unruly!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"The queen's tent, you actually came in like this without reporting, disheveled, misbehaved, what kind of decency!"
ββ¦β¦β
He blinked, looked down at his snow-white casual coat, seemed to smile faintly, and then saluted Chang Qing: "Queen Mother, Weichen is offended." β
Chang Qing slowly stood up from the bed and walked over, and glanced at him coldly: "Lord Liu said this, this palace is a little embarrassed. β
Liu Qinghan looked at her, silently lifted his placket, and knelt at the door: "Weichen Liu Qinghan, meet the queen." β
Chang Qing walked up to him and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" β
"Wechen is here, looking for Lord Yue."
"Oh?"
Chang Qing was stunned when she heard this, and looked back at me, who had completely lost her reaction, and when she saw my pale face and godless eyes, she frowned slightly, and turned back to him: "You came to her?" You two, do you have anything to say? β
When Liu Qinghan heard this, he also seemed to move, and looked up at Chang Qing.
When he looked up, he not only saw Chang Qing, but also saw the eyes of everyone else in the room, all of them looking at him with such cold disgust, as if they were really looking at a vicious dog that bit their master, and they wanted to kill him with a knife.
The dark eyes just flashed, as if they hadn't seen anything, and then lowered their heads and said calmly: "Weichen is looking for her, and there is something to discuss." β
Chang Qing said coldly: "From the perspective of this palace, you have nothing to say." β
He knelt there and was silent for a moment: "I hope the queen mother is gracious." β
Chang Qing frowned between her eyebrows, as if she was about to get angry, then I gently stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, Weichen will go with him." β
"......" Chang Qing looked back at me: "Qingying? β
"Wechen also wants to know-" I said, slowly turning my head to look at the man kneeling on the ground, "What does he have to say to Wechen." β
followed him out of the camp tent, only to find that the noisy crowd outside had dispersed just now, and I didn't know what method they used, but looking at the pattern of the royal camp soldiers with three steps and one post and five steps and one sentry around him, he probably understood.
I walked slowly behind him, and the soldiers around me watched from afar, and they all saluted us respectfully.
Of course, I also know that the gift is not for me.
When I came to an open space, there was no one around, and although his pace did not stop, it slowed down with some hesitation, and I simply stopped and stood behind him without moving.
ββ¦β¦β
Sensing something, he stopped and turned to look at me.
"What do you have to say?"
ββ¦β¦β
"You say, I'll listen."
ββ¦β¦β
"Say it."
He stood there silently, there was no temperature at all on his face and eyes, and the kind of gaze that was so calm and almost cold that I could see that my fingertips were cold, and he spoke, and said in the calmest words: "You go to the king's tent and persuade the queen mother." β
ββ¦β¦ What?! β
"The general trend has been decided, you persuade the Queen Mother, don't-"
Syllable!
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a crisp sound.
I stood in front of him, my hands still frozen in the air, and the burning pain in my palms came up after a moment of numbness.
His face had been beaten to one side, and there was no sign of it on his dark cheeks, but I knew he must be in pain! I held back the slap just now, and the anger and anger that I had never felt before exploded at this moment, even I was so painful, then he would definitely hurt even more!
I shuddered, "What did you say? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Is this your 'man-made'?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Do you know what you're doing?!"
He was silent for a long time, and slowly turned his head, his cheeks seemed to be a little swollen, but there was still no expression on his face, the slap interrupted his words, but it did not break the ice in his eyes, on the contrary, he seemed to look at me more calmly: "I know very well." β
"You-"
I gritted my teeth and raised my hand to hit him in the face, but he grabbed my wrist.
My slender wrist was particularly fragile in his thick palm, as if he would break my hand at the slightest movement. However, although he grabbed me hard, it didn't hurt me, but the cold breath ironed over my skin, and I shivered.
He didn't make any big moves, but he seemed to be tired, just grabbed my wrist, and he was a little out of breath, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't waste any more effort." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I know what I'm doing, and I don't need anyone to remind me."
ββ¦β¦β
"I don't want to hurt you."
ββ¦β¦β
"You're obedient."
After saying this, he no longer spoke, but grabbed my wrist and pulled me hard towards the king's tent.
I was dragged all the way by him to the king's tent, which was even more tightly guarded, except for the area around the king's tent, there were three teams of soldiers guarding the fence, and the inside was impenetrable.
I only glanced at it, and there was another layer of cold sweat on my forehead.
And the man in front of me was still holding on to me until he opened the curtain and pulled me in.
As soon as I entered the king's tent, I immediately saw the man on the bed.
Pei Yuanhao was still lying on the bed, and the sleeper did not wake up; And the Queen Mother is still sitting on the edge of the bed, almost no difference from when I left the royal tent, as if she didn't even move during this time, even the corners of her clothes haven't changed, and those old eyes have always looked at the people on the bed, quietly, as if no matter how earth-shattering changes outside, they can't shake her in the slightest.
As soon as I saw her, I immediately broke free of Liu Qinghan's hand and stepped forward: "Queen Mother." β
She heard my voice and slowly raised her head: "Girl." β
"Queen Mother!"
I walked to her side and looked down at the person on the bed, Pei Yuanhao's face was still a little sickly red, his lips were dry and cracked, but he was sleeping deeply, there was no sign of waking up, and it was not like what Nian Shen said, "critically ill." β
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I heard Liu Qinghan slowly say behind me: "Taifu, she is here." β
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Liu."
"Master Fu is too serious."
I frowned, looked back, and found that there was another person in the tent - Shen Gongyi, who had been sitting on a chair on the other side of the tent, with a little smile on his thin and shrewd face, calmly with a little smile, turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Lord Yue, let's meet again." β
"......" I looked at him coldly and didn't speak.
He didn't seem to be expecting me to speak, but still said with a smile: "I think you also know very well what the old man is going to do when he invites you over." β
I stood on the edge of the bed and glared at him: "Whatever you want me to do, I tell you - you don't want to!" β
Shin Gongyi listened, but laughed out loud.
I looked at him, and when he had laughed enough, he patted the arm of the chair and stood up, walked to the bed, looked down at the person on the bed, looked at me again, and said with a smile: "What?" Lord Yue, is it not enough to be locked up? β
"......" My expression froze: "What did you say?" β
"Hehe, it seems that Lord Yue is a person who does big things, and his belly is really not small." As he spoke, he walked slowly with his hands in his hands and said, "If the old man remembers correctly, Lord Yue's identity back then was still a palace maid, and he was locked up in the cold palace for more than half a year before he could wait for the amnesty to leave the palace; Later, you were canonized as a talented man, but you had a miscarriage in less than a month, and you were imprisoned in the cold palace, and tortured to the point that you were not human......"
As soon as his words came out, I froze.
I've long forgotten about those thingsβno, maybe not by forgetting them, but by not remembering them.
But just like that, in front of me and Liu Qinghan, he said it one by one, I only felt that my fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and I could only desperately clench my fists to calm down, and the man standing at the door, his face instantly turned pale as paper, as if he didn't even have any vitality.
Shen Gongyun is still talking, one by one, how I jumped into the river in Tiger Leaping Gorge to die, how I was found later, and in Dezhou, how I went crazy because of the robbery of Li'er, attacked the emperor, and finally was imprisoned in the cold palace again for more than two years......
Those two years -
He couldn't say it, just looked at me and said with a smile: "The taste, Lord Yue, only knows himself." β
β¦β¦
Yes, only you know.
I can still remember the taste of hunger, there seemed to be a black hole in my stomach, and a hand stretched out from the black hole, constantly tugging at my heart, as if I wanted to tear my heart, liver, spleen and lungs apart, and fill it all in to calm the feeling of hunger; I've eaten rats, biting off their throats, feeling them squeaking and squeaking in their mouths, and their tails whapping in the face, as if someone was slapping me; I also gnawed through the fence, and the wooden thorns pierced my mouth, and when I swallowed it, my throat was also marked with blood, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that the bloody breath was surging upward.
But it's not just hunger.
And the fire in my head, which burned non-stop all the time, and when it hurt the most, I had to bang my head against the wall desperately to keep myself from falling into madness.
In those days, only I knew, only I knew......
I stood on the edge of the bed, my body began to tremble, as if I was back in the dark room, my body remembered the pain again, just when I kept shaking, the Queen Mother reached out and held my fingers.
However, her cold palm could not make me wake up from the cold memories.
Shen Gongyi walked up to me and said with a smile: "Lord Yue is indeed able to endure what others can't endure, and he is a character. Even the old man remembered these things, tsk, when the old man sued Lord Liu - Lord Liu, the old man remembered that you smashed down with a punch and smashed the table in the flower building, didn't you? β
My heart skipped a beat, and I looked up at the light cold.
He was still standing in the doorway, still cold, and his face was not pale to see the slightest fluctuation, but his eyes, dark with a little pinpoint-like thorns, slowly looked at the person on the bed behind me.
Shihualou - that's what Sun Jingfei said before, where he met the Qinglou where Shen Gongyi and Liu Qinghan had a secret meeting?
I didn't expect that Shen Gongyun would actually sue him for this.
All the qiΔ, he knew.
It's not that I haven't thought about it, once, during the more than two years that I was locked up in the cold palace, I always thought that one day I would be able to leave and see him again, I would definitely tell him about the suffering I had suffered, and I would definitely cry hard in his arms, crying out all the grievances, even dreaming like this, and when I woke up, my eyes were swollen and my voice was hoarse.
Now, he finally knew, but I didn't cry, I didn't even have pain, but when I looked at his cold eyes, I had a feeling as if my heart was being cut by a blunt knife.
It's not for me to sue him.
I want to sue him, not how much pain I had, but what I wanted after I had pain.
I bit my lower lip hard, the pain made me finally wake up a little from the pain of memory, I slowly raised my head and looked at Shen Gongyi: "What does Mrs. Shen mean by saying this?" β
Shen Gongyi smiled and said: "It's not interesting, the old man just reminded Lord Yue that everything - there is one and there are two." β
My face froze.
"It's indeed commendable that Lord Yue is so loyal to the Lord, but has Lord Yue ever thought about what the future holds?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Lord Yue, the matter between you and Lord Liu - hehe, it is no longer a secret among the imperial soldiers, do you think that the emperor can really be so pot-bellied?"
ββ¦β¦β
Back then, Pei Yuanhao found us in Jixiang Village, and the entourage around him was the person from the imperial camp, and the relationship between me and Qinghan was naturally in the eyes of these people, although they didn't dare to spread it blatantly because of the emperor, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, and it was really not a secret to say it.
It's no wonder that Shin Kyung-jin will go to him.
I turned my head to look at him, and suddenly I felt that all the anger I had just had dissipated, and all that was left was endless sourness.
"That's your reason?"
"......" he looked at me in silence.
I slowly walked up to him and looked up into his dark eyes: "Are you because of me?" β
He still didn't speak, and his long black eyelashes, like crow's wings, seemed to be frozen, covering his calm eyes, and he trembled slightly for a while.
"Do you know," I looked at him with a little choked up, "and I'll be glad you did it...... Yes, very disappointed. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, a streamer flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting, so fast that I could hardly even notice it, but as soon as Shen Gongyi behind him heard this, he immediately stepped forward: "Lord Yue." β
I turned around and simply said, "Mrs. Shen, what are you going to do, get straight to the point." β
When he saw me like this, he was stunned, but immediately smiled and said, "Okay, the old man will also say it." β
As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve, and when he looked closely, it was actually a holy decree! He said: "The old man wants to ask the Queen Mother to take out the emperor's jade seal and stamp the seal on this edict, but the Queen Mother, Lord Yue, you and the Queen Mother are the most close, and you still persuade the Queen Mother not to be stubborn." β
When I heard this, my brows were wrinkled togetherβedict!
He actually forged the emperor's holy decree and wanted to directly stamp the seal with the jade seal!
This trick is still the trick that Queen Yin wanted to use when she won the heir, but she didn't expect that Queen Yin didn't succeed at the beginning, but she left him a seedling, which is now used on Pei Yuanhao's body!
As soon as I thought of this, my teeth clenched, and I turned my head to look at the Queen Mother, but she still seemed to be sitting on the edge of the bed very calmly, compared to Liu Qinghan's calmness that was suppressed or something, her silence was more like a calm from the bottom of her heart, she didn't have the slightest emotion, she only lowered her eyelids and said: "The mourning family has already said it, and the mourning family has never asked about the affairs of the imperial court." Where is the jade seal, the mourning family never knows. β
Shen Gongyi laughed: "Queen Mother, why hide it? β
ββ¦β¦β
"The emperor carried the jade seal with him during this spring hunt, and the official has checked the tents everywhere, and there is no jade seal even for the queen, so I think the jade seal should still be in the king's tent. At these times, only the Queen Mother took care of the emperor in the royal tent. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Queen Mother, you have been chanting and reciting Buddha in the Linshui Pagoda for many years, and you should have seen through it. And why bother with all this red dust? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Even if the emperor abdicates, the Linshui Pagoda is the quietest place in the palace, and the old minister must have assured the Queen Mother. If the queen mother wants to shave, the old minister can also arrange it. In the temples of the world, as long as the Queen Mother wants to go, the old minister will immediately make a point for the Queen Mother. β
By the end of his speech, his tone had become a little eager.
I looked at this cunning old fox, and my eyes became cold.
"Mrs. Shen is really thoughtful. The emperor abdicated, and you even thought about the queen mother's disposal," I sneered: "You want the second prince to ascend the throne so quickly?" β
When I say this, there is some irony, the fact that Pei Nianyun is an idiot has already spread in the palace, and when Shen Gongyun heard this, his face immediately turned blue, and there was a ruthless meaning in his eyes.
But the next moment, he quickly regained his composure, and sneered: "When did the old man say that he wanted the second prince to ascend the throne." β
What?
I was shocked, his edict was not to let Pei Nianyun ascend the throne, it was-
Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked over and picked up the edict to read.
