Prologue
Suicide in despair
Ten years of Emperor Dayongheng, the crown prince law usurped the throne successfully, killed Queen Xiao Qi Wang and her party, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, all the ministers involved in the usurpation were rewarded because of the size of their official positions, and as the prince's side concubine, I was ruthlessly beaten into the cold palace, Xiao Qinghuan in the cold palace still had a delicate face as if in the prince's mansion, but her face was a little pale, standing in front of her was the new emperor Liu Lu, Xiao Qinghuan's face was as sad as death, she said to Liu Lu: "The concubine was bullied by the Empress Dowager Xiao in order to keep her promise, It is also to swallow his anger and live carefully, what has changed today is not the concubine, nor His Majesty, but His Majesty's view of the concubine is no longer the same as it used to be. ”
"Perhaps...... Maybe Your Majesty has never really understood the concubines, and the marriage proposal back then was just an expedient measure of Your Majesty, and when did Your Majesty really love your concubines! ”
Xiao Qinghuan looked at the things in front of him and smiled sadly, "Is this your reward, Your Majesty?" ”
"Poisonous woman! As long as you admit that the son of the queen and Zhao Guifei was murdered by you, I can give you the whole corpse, and I am not guilty of your family's past, I have done my best to you, what else do you want! ”
"Oh, yes! Benevolence is the best of righteousness, Your Majesty is really merciful to his concubines, and he did not hesitate to surrender his body to come to this cold palace in person to force me to admit his trumped-up crimes. ”
Xiao Qinghuan smiled almost madly: "The man in front of me is no longer the cold boy he was when he was young, but now he is more indifferent and ruthless, and the love of his youth has long been gone, suspicion and framing with time." ”
Xiao Qinghuan was desperate, she didn't drink the wine rewarded by Liu Lu, but knocked it to the ground, and slowly put the belt she made with her own hands when she was young into the brazier.
Xiao Qinghuan was sad and wept, Liu Lu's ruthlessness made her lose hope of living, and her only brother was dismembered by Liu Lu in that conspiracy, and his head was hung on the city wall to show the public.
Liu Lu saw Xiao Qinghuan knocking over the wine, but he was not annoyed, but he turned around and went back to the palace to leave a slave to guard, Liu Lu instructed the slave and maid: "Be careful, don't let her die, after half an hour, I will send the wine to force her to admit to framing the queen." The slave was ordered to retreat from the guard, Xiao Qinghuan sat on the ground at this moment, her heart was extremely cold, and she looked at the half-burned belt: "Liu Lu, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely not be infatuated with you." ”
Pulling out the half-burned ribbon and lighting the curtain, Xiao Qinghuan danced Liu Lu's favorite dance when he was young: "No, I hope we won't see each other again in the next life, the two places of the upper and poorer and the lower Yellow Spring are gone......"
The fire was blazing, illuminating the entire cold palace, and the slave and maid shouted in panic: "Oh no, put out the fire, Xiao Shuren, it's still inside!" ”
In the imperial study, Liu Lu was upset about the Zhao family's request for Xiao Qinghuan to be killed, he had a headache, and the continuous review had already made him anxious, and he had just come back from the cold palace and was taking a nap with his head with one hand, when the old slave who had been beside him for many years ran in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Xiao Shu of the cold palace died. ”
Liu Lu's body was shocked, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Your Majesty, the dragon body is important! ”
The old slave trembled and said, "Before Xiao Shuren died, she asked the slave girl who was guarding her to pass a message to Your Majesty for her. ”
Liu Lu sat on the chair for a long time before he came back to his senses before he spoke: "What words?" ”
"Xiao Shu people said that the upper poor and the lower yellow springs, and the two places are nowhere to be seen!"
After hearing this, the corners of Liu Lu's eyes were slightly red and he said to himself: "Biluo Yellow Spring, never see each other!" ”
Liu Lu clenched his fists and endured: "Is this your way of revenge on me, but I never thought of wanting you to die......"
At this time, the young emperor couldn't hide his inner emotions: "Huan'er, do you really want to see me with me......"
In the early years of Emperor Yongjing, Concubine Xiao was deposed as a concubine and moved to the cold palace for the remainder of her life, and in early November of the same year, the cold palace was fired, and the concubine Xiao died.
