The corners of Shen Shiyun's mouth pulled up a bitter smile, as if the sorrow of her life was hidden in this smiling and sad sorrow, and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing, you will hate me if you say it...... But if I don't say it, I don't want to lie to you......"

Shunzhi said: "Okay, enough, when you get better, you can slowly tell me." "Looking out of the hall, I hate that all the imperial doctors in this palace are dead? If I saw her die in front of her, I really had the idea of killing all the imperial doctors and burying them.

Shen Shiyun said: "No...... Time is running out, so listen to me...... In fact, you don't have to blame yourself for Concubine Dong E, she didn't kill you...... Long before you issued the edict...... No, and sooner...... That bowl of bird's nest is the bird's nest that caused Concubine Tong to suffer abdominal pain after eating it, and finally caused her to lose the child's bird's nest, is my ...... It was I who borrowed the hand of Concubine Dong E to give Concubine Tong, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Because during that time, the two of them ...... Enjoying your favor too much, out of a woman's jealousy...... Later, I took the opportunity to visit Concubine Dong E and gave Concubine Dong E a bowl of poison, and I naively thought that there was no her...... You will come back to me. Fact...... That's it, if I say that I am such a bad woman who has lost her conscience, I killed ...... The woman you love so much has caused you to lose your son, and you ...... Can you forgive me again, and be willing to coax me, don't you blame me?"

Shunzhi listened to her intermittent narration, his face became more and more pale, and he would never forget how heartbroken he was in the two major cases a year ago. Looking at Shen Shiyun's pale cheeks, a strong anger suddenly surged in his heart, covering up the pity brought by the sadness and shock.

Why can she, for her own selfish desires, take it for granted that she can deprive others of happiness, and in the end, she will either be justified or weakly and pitifully begging him for forgiveness?

Shen Shiyun's head lost its support, and it slammed on the ground with a "bang", which shocked her mind, although it hurt, it was far less than her heartache.

Along the head and neck after falling to the ground, his eyes looked weakly ahead, in front of him was a kneeling general, outward was the open palace gate, outside were layers of guards, and then forward was under the fog, slightly revealing the dawn, a misty sky. At one end of the sky, a faint bright color could be seen, as if it was the light that guided the other side. His throat choked and he muttered, "Heh, sure enough...... Still can't do it......"

The wound on her neck seemed to expand violently for a moment, and a large amount of blood rose and sprinkled down on her, like a raging wave in the sea, immediately submerging her. The last trace of consciousness was finally lost, and the palms of his hands hung down from mid-air, and his fingers were slightly open. The moment her eyes closed, the last tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes and smashed against the tiles, making a crisp sound, like the last music in her life.

After her aura dissipated, Shunzhi seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, and hurriedly leaned over to check again, and called tentatively: "Yun'er...... Yun'er?...... Don't you scare me?" The voice was very soft at the moment, as if he was afraid of disturbing her, and as if he was worried about scattering a few scattered feathers.

A few imperial doctors finally rushed in outside the door. Previously, when they saw the emperor saying goodbye to the concubine, no one dared to disturb without permission. waited until Shen Shiyun swallowed his last breath before he dared to enter the hall in a hurry. They all saluted: "See the emperor, long live, long live...... Shunzhi interrupted: "What kind of courtesy is there at this moment? Help me save her! Is she still saved?"

The imperial doctors saw clearly outside the hall, and they all knew that Shen Shiyun was dead, so they had to follow the surface situation first. Squatted around her, this one took the pulse, that one rolled his eyelids. When the time was ripe, he opened his mouth to report: "Your Majesty...... Concubine Yun has returned to the West!"

Shunzhi immediately stood up and turned around, his eyes closed, unable to look at the imperial doctors with his own eyes and listen to the facts they stated. Or maybe they think that as long as they don't look at it, they can continue to deceive themselves, assuming that Shen Shiyun will still be saved, and nothing has happened.

The imperial doctors looked at each other a few times, and persuaded in fear: "Please ask the emperor to mourn and change ......" "Your Majesty, the future affairs of Concubine Yun ......"

Shunzhi never said a word, his lips pursed, because he turned his back to everyone, and no one would see the two lines of tears that slipped down his face. I am afraid that as soon as he speaks, he will weep silently in front of everyone.

He didn't speak, and everyone could only wait quietly, no one dared to speak first, and finally waited for enough time to be able to control his emotions before he said abruptly: "Transport her body out of the palace, go to the wilderness, find a secluded place to bury it, don't leave any words on the tombstone...... From then on, she was removed from the jade plate, and in any historical materials, there was no need to leave any records related to her, it was regarded as a ...... It's because she has never entered the palace and has never been a concubine, so she is regarded as a ...... We've never met. In addition, from today onwards, the sign of the Yinxue Palace will be removed and this place will be listed as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to approach the ......"

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, Xuan Shuang wanted to speak and stopped, and everyone thought in their hearts: "Could it be that the emperor really cares so much about Concubine Dong E? Yun Guifei Niangniang died, and he refused to forgive?"

Shunzhi didn't know who to explain, and suddenly muttered to himself: "Do you think I did this because I hated her? Wrong, she never belonged to this palace, she came and went in a hurry, but she was just a shadow that appeared in my dreams by chance." I hope I can honor her in my own way. All along, her efforts have been to break free from the shackles of the court rules, and I will fulfill her wish...... She can't do it when she's alive, and when she's dead, let her soul wander freely. ”

There is another sentence that is pressed in the bottom of my heart that has never been spoken: "The Yinxue Palace is classified as a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter it, at least I have reserved a piece of your unique world for you." If you still have nostalgia in the future, you will go back to Yinxue Palace to have a look. That's a secret that I share with you, and I don't want outsiders to get involved, are you satisfied?"

There was silence for a long time, and several imperial doctors carried Shen Shiyun's body out of the Yinxue Palace. Shunzhi always turned his back to everyone, unwilling to see this scene with his own eyes, and refused to take one last look at Shen Shiyun.

After a few people had completely retreated, he quickly raised his sleeves, wiped away the tears on his face, turned around and said, "Uncle Huang...... Father Regent, you have made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty all your life, and you have indeed made outstanding achievements, and no one can erase them. If the incident of that year is investigated deeply, I am afraid that it will involve a lot of unsightly truths, and with my current mentality, I can no longer bear it. As the saying goes, with your talents, even if you have rebels, I will admit that you have the capital to rebel. However, those who are too greedy and inadequate will not be able to keep their duties and concentrate on governing the country. I can forgive you this time, but I can't let you go, and I think you know what I mean. ”

Dolgon saw Shen Shiyun's death so miserable, although she killed herself, the blood flowing all over the ground was still shocking. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, he barely stopped his hands from trembling, took off the official hat on his head, held it on the ground with both hands, and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." This king died voluntarily to repay the emperor's kindness......"

Shunzhi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You misunderstood what I meant." I want you to leave the palace and never come back...... Find a quiet place to spend your old age in peace. No matter how tempting the desire for power is, it can't compare to the meaning of 'living' itself, at least if you keep your life, you still have everything. You've handed over the talisman, and I'm not worried about you plotting again. ”

Dolgon was stunned on the spot for a while, and it took a long time to understand that Shunzhi had reduced his punishment to the lightest, and at this time he was sincerely moved, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Jiaxuan helped him get up, Dolgon's face was desolate and solemn, and after standing up, he pushed away her hand and walked out of the Yinxue Palace step by step. Azig, Qi Chongge and the others looked at his back with a look of disbelief. With him on the verge of such a serious crime, he can still leave the palace safely, and the punishment of himself and others will not be too heavy.

Shunzhi then walked up to Prince Fu and said, "You are a capable minister beside the first emperor, and you have always been highly valued by him. Sometimes power is at your fingertips, and it's not a good thing either. I believe that you are just confused for a while, and it is useless to preach to the stubborn people a hundred times. But if he has the heart to repent, he will understand what to do with a little mention. I hope that the prince will be a reasonable person, and I hope that I will be the last time to say these words to you. This time, there are too many transgressors, and you are just conforming to the herd, even if you are a little vigilant...... From now on, he will be removed from the throne and reflect on himself in the palace for three months. You are also from Wenchen, and when the lockdown period expired, you went to the Hanlin Academy under Young Master Tang to help, and took charge of running the imperial examination and compiling history books. ”

Prince Fu kowtowed heavily and said, "The minister knows the guilt and is willing to accept the guilt!" Thank the emperor for his grace!"

Shunzhi's eyes fell on Cheng Jiaxuan, who was shrunk on the side, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "Your injury ...... Cheng Jiaxuan heard that Shunzhi actually knew that she was injured, and her heart was mixed, and she said tremblingly: "If you go back to the emperor, there is no big problem." Shunzhi said: "That's good, don't act so recklessly in the future." The girl's family will always have to find her in-law's family in the future, and if she really breaks her appearance, there will be a lot of difficulties. Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes filled with tears and nodded.

Shunzhi said: "You have a close relationship with those two people, how much information you have found in the palace, I don't want to dig deeper, and I don't want to worry about you anymore." Since the principal offender has been ambushed, the accomplice ...... If you want to punish the sins one by one, I don't have that kind of mental strength. But I no longer want to be wary of the dangers that may be hidden everywhere, so it is not fitting for you to stay in the palace. I don't think you have any nostalgia for this place either. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan said softly: "Yes, the slave knows." Slaves...... This leaves the palace. ”

Shunzhi nodded and said, "I have always had clear rewards and punishments...... Shangguan Yaohua, you have made meritorious contributions this time, and I ordered you to follow your father's title and be crowned Prince Cheng. You are a wise man and a very talented person, and if you can put your mind to the right path, you will do a great thing. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, and I hope you will be able to think more about your actions in the future. I once admired you very much, and I hope you will not fail my trust again. It is not easy to choose a position at a critical moment, but the opportunity to choose is not always available. ”

Shangguan Yaohua thanked him. Shunzhi sighed and said, "What happened to the Chen family seven years ago is indeed that I can't stand you. I thought about it, so I built an ancestral hall for the Chen family to worship, and at the same time refunded the construction of the Chen family's old mansion, which was destroyed by fire. I hope that it will make a little compensation to you. Shangguan Yaohua said in a loud voice: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Your Majesty! On behalf of the Chen family, the minister would like to thank the emperor!"

At this time, a person suddenly broke in outside the door, it was Tang Yuan, who had been locked up in the Zongren Mansion for many days, and his face was full of wind and frost. However, even if his hair was scattered, he could still see a noble temperament from the heart, and after entering the hall, he saw everyone kneeling down, and he was not stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials listened to the words of Gong Li, and there were great changes in the Yinxue Palace. Therefore, before the lower officials had time to change their court clothes, they couldn't wait to wait in the Qianqing Palace, so they first came to visit on their own initiative. Please ask the emperor to forgive the sins of the subordinate officials. ”
