One

The green garden in March is a veritable spring garden. The willows show their tender green sprouts, stretching the breath of spring. A few peach blossoms, three by two, are scattered in the garden, filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Princess Ning Guo was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and walked among the flowers and trees with a heavy heart.

In the palm of her hand, she held a small paper bag, which contained some white powder, if it was quietly sprinkled in the water, it would definitely be able to achieve Rong Lan's wish.

"Sister." Suddenly, there was a call from among the flowers.

Without looking, Princess Ningguo knew that it was Shu'er's voice. Here, only this call is the most sincere, although, still a little timidly.

Shu'er stood under the tree with a few bright peach blossoms in her hands.

There are a few petals on her head, and a face that is like a spring flower, in a fragrance, seems to be more moving than peach blossoms.

Princess Ning Guo was in a trance for a moment.

I remember that one year, once, I met her in the garden of Daming Palace, and she was also folding flowers at that time. At that time, her bright smile was as delicate as a peach blossom.

The same situation can be repeated again, but with the same mood, but never again.

Princess Ning Guo approached Shu'er and said with a smile: "Sister Shu'er still likes peach blossoms so much. ”

Shu'er twisted a peach blossom in her hand and smiled faintly: "Only this peach blossom is the same as the flowers in my hometown." ”

Princess Ning Guo was stunned: "My sister is homesick? ”

The smile on Shu'er's face gradually receded, and her eyes looked at the buds on the branches lonely.

A woman who is close to her, where is there a home.

Princess Ningguo saw that she was sad, and hurriedly said, "Okay." Go back to the house and put these flowers in a bottle, or they will wither. ”

Shu'er said: "I'll fold more and send it to Qingmei." It also made her have some spring in the house. ”

Princess Ning Guo said: "Qingmei is okay. ”

Speaking of Qingmei, Shu'er suddenly smiled, with a doting look: "She, now she is like a glutton, she can eat a lot, and she has to eat several times a day." ”

Princess Ningguo was silent.

The two walked into Qingmei's room and saw that Qingmei was cutting a piece of fabric.

Qingmei saw Princess Ningguo come in, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand and saluted Princess Ningguo.

Princess Ningguo helped her and said, "You are inconvenient, so you can avoid it." ”

Shu'er put the peach blossoms in the vase and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Qingmei was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm planning to make some small clothes." ”

Princess Ning Guo picked up the piece of cloth. It already looks like a little belly pocket.

Princess Ning Guo looked at her stomach and asked, "How many months?" ”

Qingmei replied crampedly: "It's been three months since I returned to the queen." ”

Princess Ning Guo was slightly stunned and said, "It's all so big." ”

Shu'er said excitedly: "I can already see him moving." ”

Princess Ning Guo said absentmindedly: "Is it? ”

Shu'er said: "You don't believe it, touch it." ”

Princess Ning Guo stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Qingmei's abdomen.

Qingmei hesitated a little, looking at Princess Ningguo's hand, a little uneasy.

Shu'er nodded at her.

Princess Ningguo's palm was covered on Qingmei's slightly bulging belly, and her mood was complicated.

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement in her palm. She said happily, "He really moved." ”

Princess Ningguo felt a wonderful feeling in her heart.

It was a small life, an extremely fragile life, in the palm of her hand.

Shu'er smiled: "Isn't it?" He's already moving. In the future, he must be born a smart child. ”

Princess Ning Guo woke up from her joy and suddenly felt sad.

This child may not necessarily be born into the world.

And he was going to end his life.

The maid brought a few cups of hot tea and placed them on the table.

Princess Ning Guo looked at the rising water vapor of the tea, and hesitated in her heart.

The fine bag of powder was in the palm of her hand at the moment.

Shu'er was full of longing and said: "When the child is born, it will be lively." My sister is his mother-in-law, and I'm his godmother, okay? ”

Princess Ning nodded wildly.

Qingmei smiled: "It is his blessing to have so many mothers who love him." ”

Princess Ning Guo turned around sharply and said, "There is still something in my palace, so let's go first." He hurried away, leaving the stunned two.

Shu'er was a little surprised, chased to the door, and said, "Sister, go slowly." ”

Princess Ningguo hurried away without looking back, a gust of wind blew, and the chaotic petals fell on her body, and there was a bit of a murderous mood.

I really can't do it.

She really can't bear to win a weak life like that.

If she stays any longer, she doesn't know what she will do.

She had no choice but to escape.

It was the same root, and he was too anxious.

She deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Qingmei looked at the back of Princess Ningguo from afar and said, "What do you say she is doing?" ”

Shu'er shook her head: "I don't know. However, I don't think she looks like she has malicious intentions. I think she has something on her mind. ”

Qingmei sighed: "It's not just that she has something on her mind, but I'm afraid that my heart is heavier." ”

Shu'er said solemnly: "You don't have to think about anything. Just take care of your body. ”

Qingmei said: "Khan is about to die, this child will have no father, I don't dare to imagine what will happen in the future." ”

Shu'er put her arms around her shoulders and comforted: "No matter how hard it is, I will work with you to raise him." ”

Two

Bi'er followed behind Princess Ningguo and asked timidly, "What are you going to do?" How does Princess Ronglan explain there? ”

Princess Ning Guo didn't say a word, just walked with her head down.

Casually, he threw the paper bag into the grass.

After her master and servant walked away, the paper bag was picked up and played with for a long time.

Princess Ningguo suddenly saw Dengli with a team of guards coming up from behind, and then, a large group of people hurriedly ran in front of her, mixed with many civil and military generals.

Princess Ning Guo and the two hurriedly flashed to the side and let those people pass.

When he walked past her, he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he didn't see her at all.

Instead, he saluted her respectfully, and then hurried away.

Look at that direction, it is in the direction of Zhengyang Palace.

Princess Ning Guo was shocked, what happened? Could it be that the Khan is no longer good?

She called Bi'er: "Let's go and have a look." ”

Bi'er was embarrassed: "You also saw it just now." He didn't even pay attention to it, and he didn't want you to go. ”

Princess Ningguo said: "When is it now, as the queen, if the Khan is Yan Jia, I must know how he arranges me." ”

Princess Ning Guo hurried to the palace gate, but was stopped by the guards.

Princess Ningguo said angrily: "Bold, don't you even take the palace in your eyes?" This palace is the queen, can't you look at the khan? ”

The guard did not budge at all, and said respectfully but firmly: "No one is allowed to enter the dormitory without the order of His Highness." ”

Although Princess Ning Guo was indignant, she was helpless.

She vaguely felt that her situation was even more difficult.

Three

As soon as Dengli entered the door, he asked the medical officer: "You said that Father Khan came to his senses, but is it true?" ”

The medical officer said, "Although the khan is extremely weak, he is finally sane. As soon as he woke up just now, he immediately summoned the minister, and he also wanted to see you, so he should have returned to the light. If you have anything to say, you have to say it quickly. It's late, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Dengri led the people to the Khan's bedside.

Khan saw Denri and smiled.

Dengli knelt down in front of the bed and said, "The children are here, and the ministers are also here, so let Father Khan have anything to say." ”

Khan's cloudy eyes looked at everyone with difficulty, and said, "Very well, it's all here." With all his might, he pointed to Dengli and said, "After my death, the throne of Khan will be passed to Dengli, and the ministers will do their best to defend him." ”

There were tears in Dengli's eyes, and he felt a burst of relief in his heart, and he finally got the throne with all his might, and he didn't know whether he was excited or sad.

Khan took a breath, looked at Dengli, and continued: "Although your eldest brother is innocent of death, but your sister-in-law is a virtuous woman, and she has no heirs, so in the future, you can marry her." Treat her well. ”

Surprised, he nodded.

Don Mohe listened and suddenly thought of a question. That is, Shu'er will also become Dengli's concubine.

Dengli is young and strong, naturally not the old Khan can be compared, although Shu'er was rejected by the old Khan because of her stubborn illness, but what about Dengli? Shu'er is as beautiful as a flower, and for a long time, how could Dengli ignore her beauty. And Shu'er can't guarantee that she won't like the young Khan.

Don Mohe's heart was in turmoil.

The khan continued to arrange his funeral.

"As for the queen," the Khan said with a complicated look in his eyes, "that woman is a troublemaker, and I can't let her continue to plague my son." ”

Denri listened intently, and thought to himself, "Won't I be allowed to inherit that woman?" I'm not interested in marrying her. But according to the patriarchal law, when her father Khan died, she would naturally become his wife and concubine.

The Khan suddenly tried to open his eyes wide, and said loudly: "When I die, I want her to give me a funeral!" ”

Everyone was amazed.

Although there is a saying about martyrdom, there are not many people who actually carry out this cruel practice, not to mention, as a queen martyrdom, it is unprecedented.

This idea is indeed a bit shocking.

Dengli hesitated, after all, she was still the princess of Datang and her relatives, and she didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, but also to worry about some of Datang's thoughts. If the Tang Emperor knew that his daughter was martyred, he didn't know how angry he would be.

But how can these words be said to an old man who is dying?

Khan loves and hates Princess Ningguo in his heart, such a woman, if she is allowed to continue to live, I don't know how many disasters will be done. Thinking of her delicate face, she really couldn't give it up, she was lonely, so she simply let this woman accompany her to be buried together, and it was a hundred.

Seeing Dengli's hesitation, the khan said angrily: "Do you dare to listen to my words? Are you also fascinated by that woman? Reluctant to that woman? "There was a violent cough and he began to vomit blood.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Highness quickly agrees." ”

Seeing that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed, and he was afraid that if the Khan continued to talk about it, he would shake out the ugly things of Ye Hu and the queen, and in front of all the ministers, it was undignified, so he hurriedly said: "The child obeys." The ministers testified here that the child had to be martyred for her father. ”

The Khan breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Khan had said so many things, he lost his strength and began to breathe weakly.

Everyone guarded and did not dare to leave, knowing that the khan was already a candle in the wind and would be extinguished at any time.

An hour later, the sixty-one-year-old heroic khan finally took his last breath and rode west.

At this time, it was only eight months before he married the princess of Ningguo.

Dengli instructed everyone: "The Khan has been killed, and the Lingqing De Hall will be stopped for the time being." The country cannot be without a king for a day, and immediately prepare for the succession ceremony. Someone else prepares for the funeral. The news of the queen's funeral was kept tightly sealed to prevent changes. The ministers said yes.

Dengli ordered the guards: "Pass my order to temporarily control the harem and strictly prevent entry and exit, especially the queen, before the funeral, the queen will be confined in the palace, and she will not be allowed to take half a step out of the palace gate." ”

The guards took the order.

Dengli took out the small paper bag he had picked up from the grass from his bosom, and a cold look appeared on his face.

It seems that this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and someone must be sent to do it immediately.

Queen, if you can't handle the things I have explained, you will only have a dead end.

Even Father Khan can't spare you. You can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
