Chapter 4 The sinister heart of the human heart
Even though the two noble concubines knew that this was a trap, Emperor Wu Wei was originally mediocre, and women were just a plaything to him. Besides, he doesn't lack Concubine Hua, a noble concubine.
This time, he promised the national teacher to build a high platform, and he also wanted to experience the feeling of burning the living, but Concubine Hua became his funeral object. Whether he could get the moon or not, Emperor Wu Wei didn't care at all.
Moreover, the kings of all dynasties have built high platforms and ascended the stage. A precedent of praying for heaven's protection. Wu Wei continued to kill, and what he was most afraid of was punishment from heaven. He sacrificed his most favored concubine to heaven. It is also the hope that God will bless him for thousands of generations.
It is called ascending to the sky and taking the moon, but it is actually worshipping the sky. Concubine Hua became a victim of the three of them in a daze.
Guo Qiuyue obtained favor in order to get rid of Emperor Wu Wei's favorite concubine. The national teacher was in order to embezzle the treasury, while Emperor Wu Wei was to build a high platform to worship the sky. Blessed by the heavens.
Concubine Hua was stupid at first thinking that Emperor Wu Wei was temporarily confused by demons. Only then did they agree to tie it to the pillar of heaven and burn it to ascend to the sky and take the moon. Since he knew his fate soon, he ran to Emperor Wuwei's palace to intercede, hoping that Emperor Wuwei would take back his holy order.
But he never thought that Emperor Wu Wei had already been fascinated by Guo Qiuyue at this time. Before he arrived at Wuwei's dormitory, he was stopped by several slaves. Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao knelt outside Wu Wei's bedroom, begging bitterly, but in vain.
This joke of his own, a tentative move. I didn't think about it, but I brought death to myself. Emperor Wu Wei is currently deceived by the demon concubine Guo Qiuyue, and now the only one who can save himself is the national teacher.
Then the two concubines went to the National Teacher's Mansion to intercede, hoping that the National Teacher could save Concubine Hua and let her escape this catastrophe. The reply I received was also powerless, and I couldn't help it.
In the end, the two concubines returned disappointed, Concubine Xiao was calmer than Concubine Hua, and she knew more about self-preservation than her, after hitting the wall twice. She thinks that there is only one person who can save her now, and that is Guo Qiuyue.
Guo Qiuyue was deeply favored by Emperor Wu Wei at this time, as long as Concubine Hua could pull down her face, she might still have a chance of life. If Concubine Hua can't put her face down, I'm afraid she will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
The two concubines sat in Concubine Hua's bedroom in despair, Concubine Hua kept crying, she really didn't expect Emperor Wu Wei to love her so much, and everything would change because of a Guo Qiuyue.
When I think about it, I feel like I'm dead, and I'm a little unwilling. But I can't change this result. In the end, she vented all her complaints on her own mouth.
If you didn't say bad things about Guo Qiuyue at that time, maybe you wouldn't have ended up like this, or maybe you wouldn't compete with her for favor, and you wouldn't say that you wanted to pick the moon. There will be no such thing as ascending to heaven and taking the moon, and I will not have any worries about my life.
Then Concubine Hua cried: "Woo woo ~ woo woo ~"
Concubine Xiao, who was on the side, was also very sorry for this result. The two entered the palace at the same time and were canonized as concubines at the same time. Concubine Xiao has long regarded Concubine Hua as her own sister, and she is also very sad when she suffers from this disaster.
She comforted on the side: "Sister, why don't you go and beg Guo Meiren? At this time, only she may be able to give you a glimmer of life." ”
Concubine Hua was angry when she saw Guo Qiuyue, and she wanted to kill her, everything was caused by her, if there was no her. She's definitely going to be fine, the way she is now, it's not all her fault.
I was annoyed to even see her, let alone begging her. Even if I die, I won't beg that demon. Concubine Hua has a stubborn personality, and she values face more than life, Concubine Xiao asked her to beg Guo Qiuyue, it is really better to kill her.
Concubine Hua cried and said, "I won't beg her if I die." ”
Concubine Xiao is a little helpless, she is very clear about Concubine Hua's character, it is very difficult for her to ask Guo Qiuyue now, but if she doesn't ask her, she will lose her life.
Even if you lose face, as long as you keep your life. It's better than being tied to a pillar and burned alive by the fire. Concubine Xiao was more open than Concubine Hua thought, so she tried her best to persuade Concubine Hua to go to Guo Qiuyue to intercede and spare her life.
"Sister, when is it now? You can't be stubborn anymore. Now His Majesty has been completely fascinated by that demon, and he has not patronized our Kangning Palace and Ningxia Palace for several days in a row. Don't you understand? Your Majesty has already forgotten about you and me. ”
Concubine Hua still cried non-stop, and couldn't listen to Concubine Xiao's persuasion, how lively the Kangning Palace and Ningxia Palace were in the past, but now they have become deserted because the two concubines have fallen out of favor.
Even the slaves and maids who served them in the past saw that the two of them had lost power. They all ran to talk to Guo Qiuyue. The two concubines are now really in the sad situation of rabbits and dead dogs, and people take tea and cool.
Concubine Hua is now in great trouble, and Concubine Xiao is not. The two of them fell out of favor because of Guo Qiuyue, and she could attack Concubine Hua, and she couldn't escape it. It's just a matter of time. If Concubine Hua died, she would be helpless.
And he fell out of favor again, in this huge dormitory. Just like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, lonely, lonely, and lonely. Even if Guo Qiuyue lets her live, it is better to die if she lives like this.
So Concubine Hua can't die, and she can't die herself. They want to fight with Guo Qiuyue, and they are not willing to die like this. Concubine Xiao persuaded again.
"Sister, are you willing to die in the hands of Guo Qiuyue like this? She is happy in the palace and enjoys the joy of family in the world, but you want to sleep underground for a long time, is it worth dying like this?"
Concubine Hua was still crying, although she was unwilling in her heart, she couldn't do anything. Now His Majesty only has a deep affection for Guo Qiuyue, and he is fascinated. No one could listen to what they said, and the two of them couldn't get close to His Majesty.
Now the national teacher is also looking at Guo Qiuyue, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the two of them. Who else can the two of them rely on in the palace? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and I am cheating. When the two were favored, they didn't leave a few cronies.
Now that they have fallen out of favor, who can help them. Even if you are unwilling, what can you do, there is no other way but to wait for death. Concubine Hua is waiting to be burned to death by fire, and the best way for Concubine Xiao to die is to wait for old age to die.
"Sister, don't cry. Is it useful to cry? As long as we have a glimmer of hope, we have to live. As long as I live, I will definitely have the hope of coming out again!"
Concubine Hua wiped her tears and choked up, "Am I still alive?"
Concubine Xiao nodded vigorously, cheered Concubine Hua and said, "Yes, I will definitely be able to." Sister, you and I will go to see Guo Qiuyue now, kneel down and beg her, maybe she can leave a glimmer of hope for us. ”
With tears in her eyes, Concubine Hua looked at the sky and sighed, "It's so beautiful! ”
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao was anxious. Although Concubine Hua didn't say it directly, Concubine Xiao understood what she meant, she was so stubborn that she would not beg Guo Qiuyue until she died.
"Sister, why are you doing this?
Concubine Hua smiled, but this laughter didn't know whether she was crying or laughing: "Hehe~ Woo woo~ My Concubine Hua has backbone in life, and she must have backbone in death." No matter how I say it, it is also a concubine of Dongsheng Kingdom, let me kneel down to that demon, don't even think about it. ”
Concubine Xiao really has no choice, she is really powerless to persuade Concubine Hua, she is so stubborn. If you decide on something, you can't pull it back. Concubine Xiao could only shake her head regretfully, tears flowing from her cheeks.
At this moment, she realized what it means to be helpless, when she is favored, she can call for wind and rain, but after falling out of favor, she should not be called every day. I didn't expect the two of them to fall into such a field, and things in the palace were so fast-changing.
But Concubine Xiao, she doesn't want to die, she doesn't have the backbone of Concubine Hua, so she will do whatever it takes to survive, as long as there is a glimmer of life, she will grasp it, even if she goes to be Guo Qiuyue's slave, she will endure humiliation.
It's just that Concubine Xiao doesn't understand something, why His Majesty would believe Guo Qiuyue's words, is he really so mediocre. Obviously, Guo Qiuyue just wanted to harm Concubine Hua, but His Majesty was convinced of ascending to heaven and taking the moon.
The two of them were also recommended by the national teacher, but now the national teacher doesn't care about it, and they are also in the same stream with Guo Qiuyue. wants to kill Concubine Hua, why is this, she really doesn't understand.
So he asked, "Sister, I don't know anything, why do they want to kill you?"
Regarding Concubine Xiao's question, Concubine Hua only figured it out now. Just now, I went to ask Your Majesty and the national teacher. It was all in vain, they didn't want to live in the first place, that's why they were turned away.
Concubine Hua smiled and said: "Sister, I figured it out just now, although Your Majesty pampered us, he was mediocre, killed innocents indiscriminately, framed Zhongliang, and was afraid of being punished by God." Taking the moon is fake, and using me to sacrifice to the sky is true, so as to ask for the blessing of God. ”
Concubine Xiao then asked, "What about the national teacher, he is the one who introduced us, how can he also help Guo Qiuyue to abuse?"
A trace of resentment flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes: "Sister, we have always been a pawn of the national teacher, and he is just a plaything for him to ask for merit and reward." Guo Qiuyue is more useful than us as a pawn, and more than us as a plaything, she is more useful than us, sacrificing me can allow the national teacher to get what he wants. ”
"I didn't want to be this pawn anymore, and I didn't want to be their plaything anymore, because death was doomed. I didn't want to let them get their way, and I was going to crash to death in this dormitory, so that their needs would be in vain. ”
"But after thinking about it, I decided to fulfill them. Because my sister wants to save you with my death, if I die in this Corning Palace. If I didn't die on the pillar, my sister would follow in my footsteps. ”
"Sister, I am only willing to change for you, don't let down my sister, you have to live well, avenge your sister, and get rid of the demon concubine Guo Qiuyue. ”
When Concubine Xiao heard this, she was shocked. The battle of the harem is deceitful and unscrupulous, and this palace dispute is even more dangerous. I didn't expect such a human-faced beast heart in this palace. Concubine Hua's death turned out to be a victim of their own selfish interests. It's still too simple to think of this court.
Guo Qiuyue took the opportunity to get rid of Concubine Hua as soon as she entered the palace, and when the national teacher saw that it was profitable, he was embarrassed, even His Majesty had ulterior motives, and this palace was so sinister.
Since the national teacher helped Guo Qiuyue get rid of Concubine Hua this time, it was to build a high platform and profit from it. If Concubine Hua hadn't died on the high platform and her goal had not been achieved, she would naturally not give up, and the second person tied to the high platform would be herself.
It's terrible to think about, since the ascension to heaven and the moon is fake, and personal self-interest is real, I'm afraid that this time I have to sacrifice one. At this time, Concubine Xiao completely understood, why Emperor Wu Wei pretended to be confused, why the national teacher fully cooperated, and why Guo Qiuyue succeeded so easily with a fallacy.
Immediately, Concubine Xiao became panicked and said, "Sister, I'm afraid I can't fight them, it's too sinister." Otherwise, let's run away and get out of the palace. I don't want to stay in the palace anymore. ”
Concubine Hua hugged Concubine Xiao, who looked nervous, and stroked her hair: "Sister, you and I can enter this deep palace, but we can't escape from the deep courtyard of this palace." Since you're here, let it be your fate!"
"Don't be afraid, my sister will bless you in heaven. You must remember your sister's lesson and be cautious in your words and deeds. My sister's death is to die on this mouth, if you don't say bad things about Guo Qiuyue, if you don't say that you want the moon. Maybe you don't have to die!"
"Guo Qiuyue is insidious and cunning, a snake-hearted poisonous woman. My sister will have to be more careful in everything and be kind to her everywhere in the future. Bear the burden of humiliation and wait for the opportunity. ”
Concubine Xiao nodded, hugged Concubine Hua tightly, and cried into tears. At this time, hatred arises from the heart. planted a seed deep in her heart, but Concubine Xiao is a mortal fetus in the flesh, and how can she fight the thousand-year-old demon concubine Guo Qiuyue.
