Chapter 29: Martyrdom

One

This night, Princess Ning Guo didn't sleep well.

Over and over again, she was reminiscing about Rong Lan's meaning.

Although she couldn't guess what it was, she was sure that tomorrow, something would happen that would be unfavorable to her.

Princess Ning Guo guessed impatiently, so she simply didn't think about it, and when it was almost dawn, she finally fell asleep in a daze.

Early in the morning, Princess Ningguo heard Bi'er talking outside.

Bi'er said: "Our princess hasn't gotten up yet, tell me something." ”

I could only hear a man's voice, which was loud and stern: "Tell you? What do you know as a girl? Go and call! ”

Princess Ning Guo thought to herself, sure enough, something was wrong. Hurriedly got up, groomed a little, and walked out calmly.

"Who are you? Shouting here. Princess Ningguo scolded the man.

The man was about the head of the guards, and when he saw Princess Ningguo, his attitude immediately became modest, holding a few plain clothes in his hand, and said, "The queen, on the order of the Khan, invite the queen to attend the funeral of the first khan." Please ask the queen to change her clothes. ”

Princess Ning Guo said: "This is a natural choice." Please wait. ”

Princess Ning Guo changed her clothes, and surrounded by everyone, she went out of the palace gate and got into a chariot that had been prepared for a long time.

From a distance, Shu'er stood alone in the queue of the carriage, looking a little overwhelmed.

All the women have already gotten into the carriage, only Shu'er, because she dislikes her for leprosy, no one wants to ride in the same car with her, so she was shirked by everyone for various reasons.

Princess Ningguo motioned for Bi'er to invite Shu'er.

Shu'er followed Bi'er to Princess Ningguo's car.

Princess Ning Guo lifted the curtain, stretched out her hand to Shu'er, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu'er, let's sit together." ”

Shu'er looked at her, took her hand, and boarded the carriage.

Outside the palace, the flag fluttered, the minister of civil and military affairs, the female dependents in the palace, in the direction of the royal tomb, the carriage and horses walked in a circle.

The line was long, but silent.

Princess Ningguo held Shu'er's hand and said, "I heard that Qingmei died, and I am also very sad." ”

Shu'er lowered her head and was silent.

Princess Ning Guo felt unspeakably sad in her heart. A kind of desolation ripples in the hearts of people who have fallen at the end of the world.

After a while, Shu'er said: "She is buried today, and I only came for her." As he spoke, a string of tears rolled down his cheeks.

Princess Ning Guo patted her on the shoulder to show comfort, and said, "Sister, don't be sad, this is also her life." ”

Shu'er cried: "If she hadn't come here with me and her relatives and stayed in Chang'an, even if she was married to a small girl, she would have been happy for a lifetime and would not suffer this fate." I hurt her. ”

Princess Ning Guo sighed: "There is a definite number of karma, and it is not up to anyone at all. Don't be too sad. ”

Shu'er has always been difficult to let go.

Princess Ningguo said hesitantly: "Now that the new Khan has ascended the throne, what are my sister's plans?" ”

Shu'er whispered, "What can I do?" Just go with the flow. ”

Princess Ningguo approached her, looked confident, and said, "This is a good time for my sister to turn over." ”

Shu'er looked at her suspiciously, only to see that Princess Ningguo's eyes flashed with a hopeful brilliance.

Princess Ning Guo said, "Don't you understand? Without the favor of men, in this deep palace, he will be killed sooner or later. Although Qingmei is dead, it is she who saves you. If you were pregnant, you would be the one who died today. ”

Shu'er listened to it with little understanding.

Princess Ningguo said: "Now that Ronglan is the queen, she covers the sky with one hand, and her viciousness is even more than you can imagine." Princess Ningguo said hatefully, "A few days ago, she instructed me to drug and kill Qingmei's child, but I didn't agree, so she humiliated me in every possible way, without caring about the royal face. Even if this is true to me, I will never let you go in the future. ”

Princess Ningguo looked at Shu'er's stunned appearance and said hurriedly: "Don't you still understand?" If you want to live, you must first be favored by Nori. Only if he loves you, you will have something to rely on and hope to get ahead. ”

Shu'er muttered, "Dengli? ”

Princess Ningguo said: "At this time, Ronglan is pregnant, and in a few days, it will be inconvenient to sleep, take this opportunity to get close to the Khan, and with your appearance and posture, it is easy to win the favor of the six palaces." ”

Shu'er said suspiciously: "Sister, since you have this idea, why don't you go out in person?" Competing for favor and love, isn't it my sister's strength? ”

Princess Ningguo's face turned red and said, "This time is different from the past. Where can Dengli look down on me, an old and decrepit woman? I understand now, if you are favored, it is better than Ronglan being favored. We sisters are united and rely on each other, where can we still share each other. I heard that the Hui people call me 'Princess Ningguo', and call you 'Princess Xiaoningguo', which shows that in the eyes of others, there is no difference between us. ”

Shu'er smiled bitterly: "Don't say that I don't have the intention of competing for favor, even if I have, I have to have that qualification." ”

Princess Ning Guo said, "Isn't my sister worried about your stubborn illness?" Sister, I have a way. ”

Shu'er was taken aback: "What can you do?" ”

Princess Ning Guo attached to Shu'er's ear and said, "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell." ”

Shu'er looked at Princess Ning Guo suspiciously, unable to tell whether she was surprised or delighted.

Princess Ningguo's secret medicine, although it made her tortured, but she escaped the ravages of the old khan, otherwise, today's Qingmei would be her own fate.

Seeing the appearance of Princess Ningguo, it seemed that she could recover her ice muscles and jade bones, and Shu'er was excited in her heart.

What woman doesn't want to have a country and a city to look like, and what woman doesn't want silky skin.

Princess Ning Guo said softly: "If you are pregnant with a child in Dengli, it will not be the same. For women, as long as the child is in their womb, everyone's is the same, but for men, it is a world of difference. ”

Princess Ningguo nodded to her hopefully. At this time, in addition to her hatred for Rong Lan and her worries about the future, the only hope in her heart is Shu'er.

This beautiful and kind sister maybe, perhaps, is her hope for return.

Shu'er's heart was in a mess.

She realized that at this point, she was already a woman in the denri.

But Donmohe's words always linger in my heart: You are my woman. I must marry you.

Thinking of the night when he was confused with Don Mohe, Shu'er couldn't tell her feelings anymore.

Could it be that he fell in love with Donmohe?

Shu'er's head exploded in pain.

Amid the noise, the carriage slowly stopped. Someone lifted the curtain and said, "Please get out of the car." ”

Two

This is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and here is the tomb of the Khan.

In front of the mausoleum, there is a high altar.

In the middle of the altar, there is a black and shiny coffin, covered with a bright yellow curtain, next to one on the left and one on the right, and two smaller coffins. In front of the coffin, there are a variety of sacrificial offerings. The crowd knelt down in the audience and listened to an official who presided over the ceremonial ceremony reading a long sacrificial speech, which was nothing more than a song of praise for virtue.

Princess Ning Guo knelt in the crowd, wondering in her heart, secretly thinking, why are there three coffins? Needless to say, one is a khan and the other is a green plum, so what about the other? Who is it for? I haven't heard of anyone else dying?

A cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

Thinking of yesterday, Rong Lan's gloating smile and ambiguous words made Princess Ningguo feel terrified.

After tomorrow, I will never see my sister again.

Tomorrow is a good day for Qingmei and a good day for my sister.

Rong Lan did say that.

Don't? Princess Ning Guo didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She looked at Denri hesitantly.

Dengri was right in front of her, but he could only see his back.

Rong Lan seemed to feel her gaze, turned her head slightly, and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Princess Ningguo's heart tightened, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

That terrible conjecture is almost out of nowhere.

This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.

Rong Lan, it turns out that your viciousness has far exceeded imagination.

I only heard the priest say: "The sacrifice is over, and the burial begins." ”

The so-called burial is to carry the coffin into the deep burial chamber, then close the tomb door, and then fill it with thick sealing soil.

Immediately afterwards, the coffins were carried down in turn.

Shu'er knew that there was a coffin of Qingmei, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

When two coffins were brought into the burial chamber, the last one to be carried down was an empty coffin.

The empty body was heavily parked at the mouth of the tomb.

There was a sense of dread in the air.

Dengli said to the celebrant officer: "Don't you wait for the queen to return to heaven?" ”

Princess Ningguo's head "boomed" with a loud bang.

The ceremonial officer held a red plate in his hand, and there were three things on the plate, a glass of wine, a dagger, and a white practice.

The ceremonial officer approached Princess Ningguo and said respectfully, "Please take care of the queen." ”

Princess Ning Guo looked at the tray in front of her with an incredible look, and shouted in horror, "What is this going to do?" ”

Dengli bowed and saluted, and said: "Father Khan's last life, the couple is deeply affectionate, they can't bear to give up, and they are willing to live and die together, and be with the queen for eternity." Please let the queen go quickly, and don't make her father Khan look in suspense. ”

Princess Ningguo finally understood. This is to be buried by oneself.

Princess Ningguo was furious, stretched out her hand and knocked down the tray, and said angrily: "Ridiculous. A dignified queen, how can there be a reason for martyrdom. ”

Dengli had expected her to have such a reaction, and he was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "The queen should feel honored for such an honor." ”

Princess Ning Guo said: "Why don't I give you this honor!" ”

Dengli stared at Princess Ningguo and said, "The queen doesn't toast, don't eat, eat and drink." ”

Princess Ning Guo knew that it was a matter of life and death at this time, but she had no fear, and the innate arrogance in her heart made her domineering, she glared angrily: "I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you dare to touch me, my father will sweep you back to the land of barbarians." ”

Dengli laughed and said, "Don't scare me with Datang." Since the day you stepped into Huifu, you have been a woman in Huifu, and your life and death, your honor and disgrace have nothing to do with Datang. ”

Princess Ning Guo said: "It doesn't matter if it's okay, it's not up to you to decide." At the beginning, you did everything possible to ask my father and marry me, but now, since you no longer need me, then send me back to Datang. ”

Dengli sneered: "How many women who have heard of kissing can go back?" ”

Princess Ning Guo said, "Why not?" You are lonely and unheard, haven't you heard the story of Wen Ji's return to Han? Cai Wenji gave birth to two sons, and she can still return to her homeland, but I have no children under my knees, why can't I go back? ”

Dengli said: "Ben Khan doesn't know the story of Wen Ji's return to Han, Ben Khan only knows that his father's will cannot be disobeyed. ”

Princess Ningguo gritted her teeth and said: "You keep saying that you are a filial child, and when the Khan is dying, you don't allow me to see me, what is your intention?" Could it be that this is also the order of the first Khan? You went back to the Tang Dynasty to marry the Tang Dynasty, in order to admire the customs and culture of the kingdom and learn the etiquette of the state, and now you are still so barbaric, so that the living are martyred, why do you need to be close to the Tang Dynasty. The meaning of harmony is to make friends with the two countries and always be united, but what you are doing now is going in the opposite direction, are you not afraid that the two countries will face each other? ”

The words moved everyone.

The ministers whispered.

Don Mohe quietly said beside Dengli: "After all, she is a princess, the biological daughter of the Tang Emperor. In case it annoys the Tang Emperor and hurts the peace between the two countries, it is very inappropriate. ”

Dengli said disdainfully: "Am I afraid that he will not succeed?" ”

Dengli was a little annoyed and angry, and shouted to the ceremonial officer: "Come here, wait for the queen to return to heaven, don't delay the hour." ”

The ceremonial officer picked up Bai Lian from the ground and was about to strangle Princess Ningguo's neck.

Princess Ningguo struggled hard, crying and screaming.

Suddenly, a woman flashed out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the board, and said, "Let me die for her." ”

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Mrs. Shu.
