Chapter 14: Woe to you

After the rain and the moon, the monolithic mood is coming, the mandarin ducks are cold and quiet, and the tears are full of sleeves.

I looked up at the inky black sky, and my heart turned a thousand times. A lot of confusion is in the bottom of my heart, and I feel uncomfortable.

After two hours of silence, the wooden door behind him was opened, and the candlelight poured out, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.

Tonight, Liuyun's brow has been tightly locked, never stretched. When he walked up to me, he said, "Go in!" ”

I looked up at his expressionless face, as handsome as a stone sculpture, but with a little more majesty that could not be desecrated. I buried my head in his side and walked straight inside, at that moment, as if he was not the emperor.

Mu Ling's cough was so bad that there was a hint of blood in her sputum, and I patted her on the back in the hope that it would make her feel better.

She smiled stiffly, but it was heart-wrenching, and after taking a few breaths, she said slowly: "Zhen Luo, on behalf of my father and the Mu family, I apologize to you!" ”

Normally, I would be disgusted by this sentence, framing my father to kill so many people in our family, and it can be ended with just an apology? But now from her mouth, I am a little soft-hearted, this is my difference to Mu Ling, I have never had a trace of hatred for her.

"That's the way power struggles, and I don't expect you to forgive our whole family... I just hope that you understand what a power struggle is. Speaking of this, she coughed violently again, and I hurriedly spoke: "Don't talk, rest first!" ”

She waved her hand, "I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't have a chance." ”

My eyes were a little moist, I looked at her face as white as paper, and said softly: "Mu Ling, don't you want to see Haoxuan again?" And also, your loved ones? ”

She pursed her lips and smiled, but it was difficult for people to see that she was laughing, "Zhen Luo, I'm sorry for Brother Haoxuan, and I'm sorry for the Mu family." I, I don't have the face to see them again. In the future, say sorry to Brother Haoxuan for me. ”

I don't know what she is sorry for Haoxuan, and I don't understand why she said sorry to Haoxuan. All along, it was someone else who failed her, because of the struggle for power, she was forced to marry Haoxuan, but because of Haoxuan, she was delayed for a lifetime.

In my opinion, the Mu family and Haoxuan also lost her.

She took out a bag from under the embroidered pillow and handed it to me, "This... Over to you. Future... If Brother Haoxuan can't protect you... Take it out againβ€”" Her voice slowly deepened.

I held her hand tightly, pretending to be strong, but I cried uncontrollably, "Mu Ling, now is not the time to say goodbye, you cheer up, I will immediately let the emperor Xuan Taiyi come, the imperial doctor is the best doctor in the world, he will heal you." With that, I got up and rushed outside.

Liuyun stands at the foot of the jade steps, facing west. I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liuyun's sleeve and begged: "Liuyun, you hurry up and declare the imperial doctor, save Mu Ling, save her!" ”

Liuyun looked at me sideways, his eyes were very dim, but he only spit out coldly, "The princess is hopeless, and the imperial doctor came in vain, you might as well accompany her more and let her go at ease." ”

"Are you going to let her go like this?" I asked with hatred.

Glaring at me, he turned around and lowered his tone, "After she dies, I will arrange a thick burial, after all, she is Haoxuan's concubine." ”

I always knew that he was ruthless, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. How to say, Mu Ling is also her brother-in-law, how can she see death like this and not save her, although I know that Mu Ling's condition is already very serious, but at least I should come to see Imperial Doctor Xuan.

I returned to the house disappointed, sobbing in a low voice, Mu Ling saw that he was very unbearable, beckoned to me twice, and then hung down weakly, I hurried to the bed, held her hand again and wanted to say something, but I couldn't open my mouth.

Mu Ling smiled again, his voice was already too weak, "I'm grateful... Lifetime... I can get to know you... When I die... The funeral is simple... Brother Haoxuan is not here... It's all up to you. Zhen Luo, return to the emperor... She slowly closed her eyes, and the jade hand slipped from my hand and landed heavily on the edge of the bed.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I stared at her blankly, as if my thoughts had stopped at this moment.

I felt unusually cold on my body, as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and my eyes were covered with tears that could never be wiped away.

She died, I didn't expect that she would leave in my company, I didn't expect that the daughter of the dignified prime minister, the dignified Princess Ding'an, would die like this.

Mu Ling, I still have a lot to ask you, and I still have a lot of questions for you to explain to me.

But after all, I can't ask these questions, and you will never be able to answer them.

Mu Ling, I know that you have many secrets in your heart that have not yet been spit out. I am also a firm believer in how heavy your shoulders are.

Why do you insist on seeing Liuyun, and what did you talk about with Liuyun, I really want to know, I really want to know!

I sat on the side of Mu Ling's bed for a long, long time.

Liuyun instructed Gonggong Yu to enter the palace, but he himself stayed in the palace.

It wasn't until noon on the second day, when I walked out of Mu Ling's room that I was stunned by the scene outside, when there were so many Praetorian Guards here.

Liuyun didn't say anything, he stepped forward and grabbed my wrist and dragged me out, I was naturally very surprised, so I argued with him, "Where are you going to take me, let me go!" ”

"Follow me to Mobei!" He said these five words coldly, and I was stunned from head to toe.

What is he going to take me to Mobei for? Although something happened over there, Haoxuan and Ruixuan had already been sent over, and now, would he also go? However, it's all his business, what does it have to do with me!

I shook off his hand vigorously, my angry eyes were hiding anger, but in front of so many Praetorian Guards, I didn't have a good seizure, but I said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not going, I'm a weak woman, what are you going to do in Mobei!" ”

He turned around and stared at me for a long time, his eyes so deep that they were terrifying. Seeing this, Commander Han of the Praetorian Guard on the side stepped forward and said respectfully beside Liuyun: "Your Majesty, General Mu and all the soldiers are still waiting for you to give orders outside the city. ”

Liuyun glanced at him, reached out and grabbed my wrist again, and when I struggled again, he roared with strong irresistible rage: "This is the holy decree!" ”

With a single sound, I was stunned, and my body suddenly softened, and he let him pull me away.

We hurried all the way to the north gate of the city, and I realized as if something big had happened.

Could it be Mobei!

At the north gate of the city, Liuyun ordered the west to conquer Mobei, which confirmed my guess that something must have happened in Mobei.

The front is still in surprise, but the back is worried about Haoxuan's safety.

Faintly aware that something is wrong. Inside, I am even more restless.

On this trip, Liuyun led an army of 200,000 on behalf of others, and such a vast team was like a long river surging westward.

Lifting up the curtain of the chariot and looking at it, outside the barren smoke, all the way to the west, the sun and twilight grass are boundless.

When I arrived in Mobei with Liuyun's army, it was already a month later. Along the way, I rarely saw him, and whenever he set up camp to rest, he talked about important matters with the soldiers in the military tent, while I stayed alone in the small camp set up for me.

The 200,000 troops led by Liuyun were stationed in Pingqiu, ten miles away from Mobei, and I still couldn't figure out what was going on, and I was very worried every day and night.

On the tenth day after arriving in Mobei, Liuyun personally sent General Mu to Mobei City to hand over the war letter. However, this is all I have overheard from some soldiers.

That night, I boldly and rudely broke into Liuyun's tent, where he was studying the topographical map at the military desk, surrounded by soldiers in armor. When he saw me, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Go and rest!" Let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

All the soldiers bowed to Liuyun in unison and said: "Subordinates obey the order!" And they passed me slowly, and they all withdrew out of the tent.

I stopped less than three paces away from him and asked him, "I heard that you handed over the war letter to the king of Mobei today. ”

Liuyun frowned, looked at me with a heavy expression, and spoke for a long time: "The king of Mobei has long had the intention of rebelling, and I have long had the idea of destroying Mobei. ”

I was taken aback, looked at him in disbelief, and muttered: "How can you go west at this time, you know that Haoxuan is in Mobei City, and Ziqian." You handed in the war letter like this, and it is difficult to guarantee that their lives will be in danger. ”

Liuyun's face quickly darkened because of my words, "Haven't you heard of the saying that women are not allowed to interfere in politics?" I have my own ideas, and I am not allowed to break into the military tent without being summoned by me in the future. ”

"Anyway, Haoxuan is my husband, Ziqian is my brother, they are all my relatives, how can I sit idly by. Besides, Haoxuan is also your own brother, and Ziqian has always been like a brother to you. Don't you worry about their safety at all? In a pleading tone, I just wanted him to think more about others.

Liuyun chuckled for a moment and said coldly: "Husband? Scold... Zhen Luo, how do I feel that this sentence came out of your mouth, so untrue. ”

I pulled out a smile without a smile, and my tone changed to tough, "Didn't you give me this husband?" Haoxuan and I have been married, and I am now his side princess. Since women are not allowed to interfere in politics, why did you bring me to Mobei together? Your Majesty, can you give me an explanation? ”

Liuyun was a little surprised by my rhetorical question, and stared at me angrily for a long time before he said, "Soon, you will know why I brought you here!" He turned around and strode out of the tent.

"Your Majesty!" I eagerly called him, he stood still and never turned back, "If something happens to Haoxuan and Ziqian, I will never forgive you!" ”

Liuyun's body stiffened obviously, and he slowly turned his head, evoking a smile that seemed to be a smile, "King Mobei is Haoxuan's uncle, and King Mobei will never kill his own nephew, you can rest assured of this." ”

I was stunned for a moment, my eyes fell on his face, and I said in a trembling voice: "You... How did you... Know that King Mobei is Haoxuan's uncle? ”

He didn't answer my words, he turned back again, and after a long time, his voice sounded, "Zhen Luo, if Haoxuan rebels, it will be not his death but also my death, do you think I should still show mercy to my subordinates?" ”
