Chapter Twenty-Four: Emperor Yunrui
"Seventh sister ......" Xi looked at Wu Ling, and her heart was not good, as the emperor and the emperor, she hadn't even worshiped her eldest brother, how could she worship him?
"What if you don't kneel?" Wu Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, her eyes looking straight into his eyes with a cold smile.
"Oh?" Rui didn't answer, and the smile in his eyes deepened, like a deep pool in the ice and snow.
Wu Ling didn't say a word, but everyone present gasped, because dozens of pairs of eyes saw that the bamboo cane of the Second Highness holding the chin of the Seventh Princess gradually scorched black, and then suddenly burned up, making a crackling and popping sound, and the carved gold leaf on the bamboo cane all melted and fell to the ground.
And the most terrifying thing is that the seventh princess's chin was burned by the terrifying fire, and she didn't seem to feel a trace of pain as if she stood down, and her face was not burned black, as if the fire couldn't hurt her at all!
Rui watched the bamboo cane gradually melt, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it didn't last long before it turned into a cold and contemptuous smile.
"It's so funny, no wonder Big Brother can't put you down." He shook off his bamboo cane, stretched out his slender index finger, and instead held her chin directly with his hand, seemingly unconcerned that she could even melt the heat of the gold leaf.
"Fuck off." At the moment when he was about to make contact, Wu Ling took a step back and drank softly, stopping his light movements and forbidding him to touch himself again.
"Huh...... I don't care about you? Rui shook his hand, his eyes turned to the side, as if he had heard some joke, and laughed wildly: "When Shuo touched you, why didn't you hide?" ”
"Second brother......" brook stopped between the two, but he was a teenager, not only was he a head shorter, but his momentum was also much worse, and he muttered in his mouth, but it was difficult to say any powerful sentences.
"Get out." Rui lifted his foot and kicked him into the stream, knocking him to the ground.
"Presumptuous!" Wu Ling's eyes suddenly became deep and dark red, thinking of the lovely boy when he was a child, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and his whole mood became anxious, and he actually had a trace of disgust for him like this, and he no longer felt that he was the clear and lovely little emperor when he was young.
"Haha...... Licentious? Rui narrowed his eyes and continued to slowly approach Wu Ling, a pair of mandarin duck eyes full of fun.
The entire hall was silent, Wu Ling watched Rui approach her step by step, she didn't want to make a move with him, so she could only retreat step by step.
Everyone watched all this with bated breath, not knowing how the Second Highness, who had always been arrogant and cold, could suddenly do this.
"When Shuo hugged you into his arms, was he presumptuous? When you tossed and turned, did you ever sneer at him for being presumptuous! Rui's eyes were full of banter, but there was a faint hint of pain, and he walked towards Wu Ling step by step, looking down at her condescendingly.
The words that came out of Rui's mouth were aggressive, and his face was full of evil and wildness, and Wu Ling didn't know how to answer.
Why did he ask? Why was there pain in his eyes?
Looking at his pitch-black pupils with some dark blue, Wu Ling also felt a pain in her heart, and for some reason there was a faint desolation in her heart.
This feeling...... It is so familiar, and the familiar soul also trembles.
Those arrogant eyes, she seemed to have looked at them every day, so deep into the bone marrow, as if she had seen these eyes since birth......
However, she hadn't seen Rui since the last time she called Rui away...... But those eyes ...... But it is extremely clear, as if it has been known for thousands of years......
"Second brother! How can you insult the seventh sister like this! Xi suddenly let out a loud cry and opened his arms between Wu Ling and Rui.
"Oh? This is a fact, how can it be insulted? Rui raised his eyebrows, his face full of disdain and disdain.
"It's not right for the second brother to slander the eldest brother and slander the seventh sister! The seventh sister is still innocent, how can she be defiled?! The eldest brother once said that he wanted a place for the seventh sister in order to block the mouth of the world, but he didn't expect that the people in the world hadn't said anything, and he was despised by the second brother first! You've gone too far! ”
Xi stomped his feet and scolded like a crazy little beast, as if he no longer cared about his status and status, he only couldn't see Wu Ling being humiliated, and pointed at the imperial brother who was more than a head above him and reprimanded.
Rui was stunned for a moment, although he was being scolded, but the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he closed his mouth as if he didn't know what to say.
The hall was silent, and everyone looked at the two emperors and a princess, as if it was a farce.
There was also the half-burned bamboo cane, which was now lying on the ground......
"The Emperor Arrives ——!!"
Just when it was embarrassing, the general formation as if the second emperor had arrived was staged again, and the two rows of guards lined up, and then Wu Ling saw the emperor of the Son of Heaven who was wearing a dragon robe.
"See the emperor, I hope that the emperor is safe, and the blessing will last for ten thousand years." Everyone knelt down and bowed in unison, including Wu Ling.
Rui tilted his head sideways and hooked the corners of his mouth, but he didn't kneel or say hello, he sat back in his place, poured a glass of sake, and drank it alone.
"Excuse me." The emperor waved his hand, as if he didn't care about Rui's behavior, and walked straight to the center, sat down in Shuo's position, and sat side by side with Rui.
The father and son, no one paid attention to the other, but neither of them ignored the existence of the other, and they held the wine jug and sipped it.
"Emperor Xie!" Everyone got up and returned to everyone, but the room was still silent.
"May I ask if the Emperor's Holy Body is good?" A little old man with a white beard stood up to greet him.
Wu Ling saw that he was dressed very differently from everyone else, and he looked very luxurious, and guessed in his heart that Xu was an important court official, and even the emperor was very polite to him.
"All Aiqing can rest assured, Concubine Ying died early, although I am heartbroken, but I am helpless. I know what is important to this world and people's privacy, just to send my concubine one last time, and to participate in this banquet for my eldest son, who is far away on the border and cannot return, Zhongqing only treats it as a family banquet, and there is no need to be polite. ”
The emperor's words made the straight backs of everyone present gradually relax, and Wu Ling even heard many long sighs, obviously nervous to death just now.
"Then please ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body." The little old man stroked his beard and reminded.
"I know, after I send my concubine to be buried in the green bamboo forest, since I left early, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about me." The emperor smiled slightly, poured wine alone, and drank to himself.
"Yes." The little old man stretched out his hand and bowed lightly, sat down, and stopped talking.
There was silence in the venue, Rui had been sitting beside the emperor, but he had never looked at him, there was some determination on his beautiful face, Wu Lingshi saw many people greeting the emperor, but Rui, who was the son-in-law, did not say a word, and the emperor didn't care much, so it can be seen that between this father and son, there seems to be something wrong.
Wu Ling really can't stand this kind of solemn occasion, so she just wants it to end hastily, and then hurry home to enjoy the coolness.
Since Rui and Emperor Jun came, there was an inexplicable cold atmosphere in this room, and all the people didn't dare to gasp, just bowed their heads and ate silently, which was diametrically opposed to the previous noise.
Since she promised Concubine Ying to intercede for her, then now is the best time.
"Emperor."
Wu Ling got up, broke the eerie silence, and bent down to salute.
"What?"
The emperor raised his head slightly, narrowed his mandarin duck eyes, and looked at Wu Ling with a little surprise, the only woman who dared to speak.
"Wu Ling has something to inform, and I also ask the emperor to allow Wu Ling to write it with a pen." Wu Ling shook hands and made a big salute.
"Someone, present pen, ink, paper, inkstone and princess."
Seeing Wu Ling's solemn appearance, the emperor twisted his eyebrows, waved his hand, and motioned to the waiter to prepare a pen and paper for Wu Ling, and the waiter immediately took the pen and paper and respectfully held it in front of Wu Ling's table.
Wu Ling got up and wrote the book, "I still remember the meeting back then, and the heart of the world is the same as you." In this life, you can't grow like wings, but you want to always be in your heart. The four sentences left by Concubine Ying were handed over to the waiter and presented to the emperor.
"What does that mean?" The emperor's expression turned grim after seeing it, a silver pupil swept out of the fierce color, and he frowned slightly and looked at Wu Ling.
"Left by the deceased, may the emperor grant her last wish, and do not bury her under the green bamboo." Wu Ling looked straight at the emperor and saw the look of surprise on his face.
"Why?" The emperor still had a bad face, as if he was surprised at how Wu Ling learned about this verse.
"Wu Ling can't state it, there are many things that are not straightforward in this matter, I just hope that the emperor will obey Concubine Ying's last wishes." She can't say that she just saw the soul of Concubine Ying, and she entrusted herself to inform the emperor of this......
If you say that, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos.
The emperor lowered his head, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he said, "Yes." Prepare the bones of Concubine Ying and bury them in the emperor's mausoleum. ”
"Emperor Xie." Wu Ling possessed her and sat down indifferently.
The feast returned to a quiet state, and everyone drank their own tea and wine.
"What did you show your father?" Xi secretly tugged at the corner of Wu Ling's clothes and asked quietly.
"Inconsequential verses."
Wu Ling couldn't explain that what she wrote to the emperor was Concubine Ying's last wish, and she said it in a soul state, and if she told Youxi, he would definitely faint in fright.
Xi pursed her lips, unhappily put food in her mouth, and looked at Wu Ling from time to time with a complaining look, her eyes seemed to be crying dissatisfied.
Wu Ling didn't understand why she was reluctant to tell him the ins and outs of the matter, probably because she didn't want Xi to know that she could see the spirit.
She was afraid, afraid that Xi would no longer see her as a friend, and would be estranged from her......
After the banquet was over, everyone went home.
The emperor sat alone in front of the hall, looking at the small characters in his hand, which were not delicate, and pondered for a long time.
I have long heard the emperor and queen say that this witch Ling has only been a shallow learner since childhood, and when I saw it today, sure enough, even the handwriting is not beautiful and lovely.
But Wu Ling, who was just a little learned, wrote such a line of words, which reminded me of the line of words that I once swore with Yingfei Mountain......
The emperor stroked his forehead, put the words in his arms, and said loudly: "Come on, please enter the palace tomorrow!" ”
