As soon as the
palace flowers have fallen, they have become dust
. Nagato’s Complaint: The Rising Life
After the White Moonlight Has Been Abandoned: “Your Majesty, the blessing wine is all ready.”
Since it was the first day of the yuan Dynasty, it was time for Qiushui to serve in front of the emperor and wait for the king to change his dress early in the morning.
The king’s dress was made according to the seasons, green in spring, red in summer, white in autumn, and black in winter. Now it was winter, and Liu Chang wore a black cloak, with red clothes inside, a long flat crown on his head, and soap cloud boots at his feet. His dignity was extraordinary, and he really looked like the Supreme 95.
Seeing that the palace ladies had come over with the newly brewed wine in the early spring, Su Wen went in and asked him to go out and bless the palace empresses.
Liu Chang straightened his sleeves and took two steps. Then he stopped where he was. Looking back at the woman standing still in the hall, he said, “Go with me.”
Qiushui had been very cautious for days because she had exceeded the rules. When the concubines came to propose a toast, she wanted to hide, but when the king spoke, she had to answer. Smiling,
Su Wen gently placed the wine in her hand and said, “There are people from the Laoqiu Palace.”
Qiushui crouched down to say “Fu” and followed Liu Chang all the way to the front of the Xuanshi Hall with the wine in his hand. All the empresses of the palaces under
the eaves had arrived, and all of them were dressed up like a hundred flowers blooming overnight.
Qin Zhaoyi, Zhao Jieyu and others stood in front of each other. After a heavy snow, they had not seen each other for a long time. It was rare for the weather to turn sunny and warm. They met a spring banquet and were talking, laughing and greeting each other. When they watched the king come out, they all cut their clothes and hair in a hurry and bowed down to pay homage.
Liu Chang has been in a good mood for days, and when he saw that they were much more pleasant than before, he got up unconsciously.
The imperial concubines thanked Long En and looked up to see that there was still one person beside the king.
Crimson curls, wide sleeves, gently raised eyebrows, high bun like clouds, but like. It seems that five years ago, emperors and empresses went together.
Qin Zhaoyi and Zhao Jieyu and others were shocked, and their faces suddenly changed.
Wei Shaoshi also raised his head and saw the woman beside the king coming out with a blessing wine. Even though he had never seen her before, he recognized her at a glance when he looked at her eyebrows and eyes and her bearing.
So this is the empress!
She sighed with regret and did not notice Chen Baolin’s tearful eyes on one side.
How nice it is that the emperors and empresses stand together again. Is her wish that she has hidden for many years finally coming true?
“Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come.” Su Wen reminded softly. With a wave of his hand,
Liu Chang immediately received a white jade cup from the palace of Xuanshi Palace and presented it to the empresses under the eaves one by one.
Liu Chang took the flagon from Qiushui’s hand, and when Qin Zhaoyi and others came forward to congratulate him, he poured a glass of lucky wine.
“My concubine, I wish Your Majesty a happy and peaceful life!”
“I wish Your Majesty peace all over the world!”
“I wish Your Majesty peace and prosperity!”
A word of congratulations, a glass of wine, the concubines of the fourteen palaces came forward one after another. It was a supreme honor to get the king’s blessing wine, and it would be even more rare to get another word of the king’s blessing.
Everyone wanted to pinch the tip, to be the leader of the king’s blessing, but until the end of the blessing wine, also did not wait for a word, but at most a word of appreciation.
The imperial concubines were unwilling, but they had nothing to say. Seeing that Chen Baolin had already drunk the wine, Su Wen was waiting to take the flagon from the king’s hand, but when he saw the king avoiding his hand, he took another jade cup from the tray held by Gong E on one side and turned to Qiushui.
Qiushui was standing on the eaves with his hands hanging down, watching him turn around and walk. Just as he was wondering why, he heard the king secretly say with a smile, “Give me your hand.”
She cleverly stretched out her hand as if to hold the flagon, but he put a jade cup in her palm, held it firmly in the bottom with one hand, held the flagon in the other hand, and poured a full one for her. His eyes, which were as
dark as ink, looked at her for a moment and said, “I wish you will always be healthy.”
She raised her head in astonishment, and the light in her eyes was the deepest blessing in his eyes.
She was stunned for a long time before she replied softly, “My maidservant also wishes your majesty a thousand years old.”
Spring feast, green wine a cup of song again, and then worship Chen three wishes.
First, I wish you a thousand years old; second, I wish my concubine is always healthy; third, I wish to be a swallow on the beam and meet each other year after year.
This was originally a Chinese folk spring banquet, a toast between husband and wife, a metaphor for the reunion of husband and wife, everlasting. It’s not that
the king can’t say a toast, he just. He just didn’t want to say it to them. He gave his best wishes to her, to the woman who had been abolished by him. Under the eaves of
the corridor, Qin Zhaoyi and others had no blood on their faces.
If the king had been concerned about his identity and had some concealment before, this time he had completely ignored the laws of the court, and his meaning was obvious.
Zhangsun Qiushuiqi. It must be in a moment.
“We can’t wait any longer. If we wait any longer, there will be nothing left.” Under the dim palace lantern, Chin Chao-yi murmured to herself, a sharp flash of light in her eyes. “Go and ask if everything is ready over there.”
“February, February is the day of Your Majesty’s inspection tour of Daizong in the east.” There are also whispers in
the Hehuan Palace: “If the empress wants to do something, that’s the best time.”
At present, the king doesn’t have to go to court every day and night. He stays in the Xuanshi Palace, and Zhangsun Qiushui never leaves the king. At this time, it’s hard to avoid giving the game away. Only when the king is not there and no one can shelter her, can he think of a way.
Zhao Jieyu does not know this truth, if not so, how can she be willing to wait for another month? But. Is there a foolproof way?
“Why not?” The attendant put his hand in her ear and whispered a few words.
Zhao Jieyu’s eyes blinked, there are people tied together for the interests of the palace, there are people flying in the face of disaster, if you can kill two birds with one stone, that would be the best.
“I’m going on a tour of inspection to the east in February. Will you go?” The dark night was deep, and after that night, when Qiushui came to stay overnight again, the king forbade her to go to Shaojian and insisted on taking her to bed together.
Qiushui broke free, but he was afraid that the noise would make a big noise and arouse the suspicion of others, so he had to follow him.
The two of them lay down side by side, and Liu Chang must have meant to take her with him when he talked about the Eastern Tour in February. She had been bored in the palace for a long time, and she was going with him to see their great rivers and mountains.
But Qiushui’s mind was not good for a while. She was always tired and her back was very sore. She estimated that Kuishui was probably coming.
After drinking safflower soup, her sunflower water has been inaccurate, sometimes not once in a few months, sometimes less than a month, it began again.
That’s all right. The annoying thing was that whenever Kuishui came, she was in such pain that she couldn’t stand up straight. It was rare for her to stay in the warm pavilion for two months, and she managed to get rid of the problem of low back pain. But when she thought that she would go to the east on a cold day, she was a little reluctant. She was afraid that this would delay her journey on the way, so she shook her head: “The maidservant won’t go.” It’s better to stay in the palace for Your Majesty to look after the house. I hope Your Majesty will take care of himself and be careful on the way.
Liu Chang also knew that he would not be able to come back for ten days and a half months. If he asked her to follow him, he would have to rush around on the way, but he would not let her go, and he was really worried.
“If not, I’ll leave Su Wen to you. If something happens, at least I’ll take care of him.”
Qiushui laughed. “If you give me Su Wen, who will take care of you?”? Su Wen has gone, and there is still a Chamberlain in the palace. If I have something to do with him, it will be the same.
Wu Xing is the same person who served in front of the emperor, not only that, he also served the emperor’s aunt, treat her will not be bad.
Liu Chang thought for a moment and then nodded, “It’s all right. Wu Hsing is honest and does things safely. I can rest assured that he’s here.”. Then I will give him an oral order, so that he will not be hindered in the palace and will not be able to help you.
“Mmm.” He arranged so thoughtfully and meticulously that Qiushui could not stop his joy, and his reluctance to stay away from him gradually faded.
Eastern inspection of Daizong is the rule of the opening of the court, Liu Chang this time, not only to frighten the four directions, but also to offer sacrifices to the world, he wants to restore the queen, so this trip is to go.
However, the back and forth schedule can be shortened, he calculated the days, then to Su Wen to assist.
On the day of leaving the palace, all the princes, princes, civil and military officials arrived in front of the main hall of the Weiyang Palace. When the auspicious time arrived, they set off immediately.
Liu Chang sat on the imperial chariot, and from the half-open curtain, he saw the figure of the Iraqi disappear little by little in front of him, and he turned his eyes reluctantly. At the beginning of
spring, everything recovered, and the cold orchid, which had been pulled out and planted by the king carelessly, showed signs of survival.
Qiushui carefully moved the flowerpot to the windowsill and looked at it again and again in the moonlight before he could sleep at ease.
Unexpectedly, when the fire spread, she was pressed under the pillar, unable to move, only the bluegrass appeared in front of her eyes.
Xie Ting is full of fragrant grass, and Chu is full of green sand. Yu Yan suddenly met, what will happen to Sui Yan?
It is a pity Unfortunately, at the end of this year, she was afraid that she would not see him, not only the bluegrass, but also him.
I don’t know if he can go to Daizong all the way, live in peace, and have enough food and clothing?
In fact, there are many words, she has not told him, this life can marry him as a queen, is her most happy thing.
To be able to come back from Nagato, accompany him through this journey of mountains and rivers, through these long days and nights, has fulfilled her greatest wish.
In the future. In the future.
“I hope that Your Majesty will live a long and healthy life and that the world will be at peace. If this wish is fulfilled, I will die without regret!”
“Empress Paolin, Empress Paolin..” In the deep lane of silence, Chen Baolin was suddenly awakened by a rapid call. She had no time to put on her clothes and hurried out of bed, but it was her maid Cuiye in the palace who rushed in. Em
press Pao-lin, something has happened. The Xuanshi Temple.. The water is running out! How can there be water in
the Xuanshi Hall? Chen Baolin was startled and waited to come to his senses, but he could not even wear his shoes and socks. He hurriedly pushed Cuiye away and ran out. On the
long imperial road, she was like a bird driven away by the wind, and her broad sleeves were blown up in the air by the wind.
Not Xuanshi Hall, the king is not in Xuanshi Hall, only people live in the side hall, they. After all, I did it to her.
Is that how you hate it? Is it wrong that she didn’t do anything?
Why don’t you leave her alone? Why? Em
press Baolin! Empress Bao Lin! Behind him were the exclamations of Chixia and Cuiye. Chen Baolin had ignored his feet, which had been worn out by stone bricks, and only the flames of the sky were shining in his eyes.
Put out the fire! Hurry up! Hurry up The maid attendant who rushed with the bucket was like a fish trapped in the pool, in a panic and at a loss. Wu Hsing, the chamber
lain, had burned out half of his vermilion robe. He wanted to rush in again, but he was pulled back by the little yellow door that accompanied him. “Ah Weng, you can’t do it, you can’t do it. The beams inside are all burned off. If you go in, won’t you die?” What does it matter if
he dies? The most important thing is that the people in the house can’t die! When
she died, all the people in the palace were going to be buried with her!
“Go in and save someone!” The old man, who had experienced most of his life, could not help the rain of tears.
However, before he could rush through, he heard a loud bang, but half of the side hall collapsed.
Chen Baolin ran to the front and saw that the easy wish was buried in the fire with the man. His knees were weak and he could not help fainting.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you looking for?”
Ever since nightfall, Su Wen had seen the king wandering around, but by this time he was still looking around. He could not help coming forward and whispering, “Why don’t you tell your subordinates and let them help you find it?”
“That jade pendant..”
Liu Chang frowned, he clearly remembered to come out with the body, how now disappeared?
“That’s the Jade Rabbit. Have you seen it?”
Jade Rabbit? Didn’t you say that you bought it when you left the palace?
“Oh, I really don’t care about that, but the jade pendant isn’t too small. It’s not hard to find.”
Su Wen flicked his tail, narrowed his eyes and went back and forth in the camp little by little in the light of the light, but he did not see the jade pendant for a long time.
Did you leave it in the Xuanshi Hall and not bring it out?
He hesitated to ask, Liu Chang was faintly flustered, he did not remember wrong, the jade pendant was indeed brought out, or she personally tied it to him.
“If not, your majesty will rest first, and your subordinates will send someone to look for it on the way.”
This journey is not easy to walk, the carriage and horse are bumpy, and it can’t be said that it will fall down.
This is also no way, Liu Chang nodded, let him go to arrange.
Near midnight, the people sent out had not come back, Su Wen waited in the tent and dared not sleep, suddenly heard something inside, then turned around and the king got up.
“How many days have you been out?” Liu Chang furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice. “After tonight,” said
Su Wen hurriedly, “it will be five days since I came out.”
Is it only five days? Why does he think the time is so long?
“Send down the order, and tomorrow morning, break camp and return to the palace.”
Eh? Not only was Monk Su Wen-jang confused, but Chih Chin-wu, who was accompanying him, also looked puzzled: “I just came out and I’m going back?”
“Yes!” Su Wen spread out his hands and said he wanted to bring the people of the Autumn Palace out together, but he didn’t. Look, how long did he go back.
Come on, don’t say anything. Get ready to break camp. He comforted his
old fellow, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a white horse galloping in the dust. When it came to him, the horse’s hooves were so tired that it collapsed. The man on horseback rolled to the ground. Before he could get up, he kowtowed and cried, “Su Changshi, something has happened to the people of the Autumn Palace!”
The jackdaw was frightened, and all things were sad. Overnight, it seemed that spring had come to the end of winter. The cold wind was blowing on the tip of the eyebrow and the corner of the eye, but Su Wen did not even dare to cry out in pain. Standing under the eaves of the corridor, he saw the little yellow door holding something and hurried forward to pick it up.
It’s. Rabbit jade pendant, only half of the rabbit jade pendant was burned.
He instantly red eyes, waved his hand to signal the small yellow door to step down, but he held the jade pendant into the inner hall. The
hall was still quiet and silent. The king was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly raised his head. When he saw Su Wen, he lowered his head again.
Su Wen endured the pain in his heart and stepped forward gently. “Your Majesty, take a break.”
It’s been two days and two nights. The king has been sitting without eating or drinking. How can he live like this in the long run?
Liu Chang shook his head and asked him in a low voice, “Did you find her?” The
fire burned down the side hall, where can we find people?
Su Wenqing knew that he had fallen into the devil’s trap and did not dare to frighten him any more. “The slaves are looking for him,” he said. Take a
good look for her. She is timid. Be careful and don’t frighten her. Liu Chang straightened up slightly, and his red eyes were filled with deep feeling. “If she refuses to come out, you can tell her that it’s just a side hall. If it’s burned, it’s burned. I don’t blame her.”
“Yes.”
And if she.. If you still don’t want to come out, you can say that I don’t hate her anymore, and I want to start over with her. Her brother has already made a contribution at the border, and I promise she will make him a general of chariots and horses. I will also order her grandfather and mother to take her back to Chang’an.
“Yes.” If
she doesn’t believe me, you tell her that I’ve already drawn up a decree to make her queen. Even if I don’t have my eldest son, it doesn’t matter. It’s the same if I adopt the heir of the King of Jiangdu in the future. If she can’t bear to separate her sister’s flesh and blood, there will be Chen Baolin in the palace. Chen Baolin is very friendly with her, and his temperament is like hers. In the future, the heir will be recorded in her name. Even if she were to ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, she and Chen Pao-lin would have respected her as the empress Dowager.
“Yes.”
Su Wen promised again and again. Tears were hidden in his eyes, and he was eager to fall, but he couldn’t cry in front of the emperor. He had to sob and said, “Your Majesty has written down what the old slave said. Your Majesty will take a break and wait for the old slave..” The old slave went to send a message to the people of the Autumn Palace.
“I’m waiting for her here. Go and tell her.”
Liu Chang waved his hand, he can not sleep, if she came back to see him sleep, and then go how to do?
“Your Majesty..” Unable to suppress the pain, Su Wen turned sideways and gently brushed his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes. It took him a long time to turn around and come back. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. When the people of the Autumn Palace come back, the old slave will guard her and not let her go any more. You just..” Just take a break. As
he spoke, he stepped forward and put out the light.
Suddenly he stood up and grabbed him. He covered the lamp and shouted hoarsely, “What are you doing?”? What if you put out the light and she can’t see the way back? There are palace lanterns everywhere
outside. Why should there be one more? If Empress Zhangsun could come back, she would have come back long ago.
Su Wen opened his mouth several times, but he gritted his teeth and held back. That was the last hope left by the king. If he had exposed it, what would the king do?
Can not expose, don’t let the king day by day down?
The old slave.. The old slave does not put out the lamp. The old slave closes the door for Your Majesty.
Closing the door, he at least. At least I can calm down. Maybe I can’t sleep.
Helpless, is such, Liu Chang is not allowed.
Don’t close the door, you all stay away, the fire.. The fire was too big. Perhaps she was hurt. That’s why she didn’t dare to come out to see me. There is no woman
in the world who does not love beauty, and she is no exception. Before she was a queen, she saw the empress Dowager giving her fashionable jewelry and clothes. I don’t know how happy she was.
That is to say, after marrying him, in order to set an example, she became thrifty and was no longer willing to wear gold and silver.
If the fire had hurt her appearance, it was reasonable that she should be ashamed to see people.
But he is not afraid, as long as she can come back, even if the appearance is like no salt, he loves like a treasure.
“Promise!” Su Wen clenched half of the rabbit jade pendant in his hand, turned his head and went out of the hall door. He couldn’t help holding the threshold and began to cry.
One immortal has gone, leaving this one, life is worse than death, God, in the end is how to be willing to!
“Ah Weng, Ah Weng..” The little yellow door standing around was startled by his crying and rushed forward to help him. The king in the
palace was still alive, and it was really unlucky to cry so bitterly. In the past, it was not too much to be beheaded.
But because the weeping man was a proud Zhongchang attendant in front of the emperor, Xiao Huangmen looked at each other and did not know where to start.
When Su Wen had cried enough, he wiped away his snot and tears and ordered them to say, “Go, take the token out of the palace and go to the Jiangdu Palace to invite the King of Jiangdu.”
Can’t go on like this, if not, this emperor is not easy to lay down the rivers and mountains, can be completely destroyed.
Night, as thick as black ink, although the king of Jiangdu is often in the palace, it is the first time to enter the palace after the next key.
After all, opening the gate of the imperial palace at night was a matter of great importance to the safety of the imperial power. The king of Jiangdu sat in the car and looked at the candles in the Xuanshi Palace. His intuition was that something had happened.
However, when he thought about it, he could not imagine that the change was comparable to the shaking of the earth.
You.. Tell me again, who’s gone? He clenched his fist and looked incredulous. Wiping away his tears,
Su Wen managed to make a sound again: “The side hall of the Xuanshi Hall is full of water, and the people of the Autumn Palace..” The people of the Autumn Palace are gone, and the old slave went to the side hall to find them.
All his clothes and shoes must have turned to ashes, but the jade pendant was still there. The
king of Jiangdu took it in his hand and saw that the jade had been fumigated by the fireworks. He was startled and followed Su Wen to the Xuanshi Palace.
A lamp, such as beans, light and shadow, such as snakes, constantly swinging in the dark Xuanshi Hall, people can not help but be shocked.
He took two steps closer and called out in a low voice, “Brother?”
Liu Chang raised his head at the sound, and it took him a long time to recognize him in the bean-like light. “What’s the matter with Wang Di?” I
heard that something big had happened in the palace, and my brother.. My brother has come to see the emperor. He lifted his robe and sat cross-legged at his feet. Looking up, he only looked at his brother. He was as dehydrated as if he had lost most of his weight. Only two days have
passed, and this is the case. If, as Su Wen said, if we continue to toss and turn, heaven and earth will be white.
“Do you remember the days when the empress Dowager wanted to choose a concubine for you just after you made a crown prince? You said the crown princess you wanted must be beautiful and have both virtue and intelligence.”
I.. Did you say that?
“Yes, at that time I was still laughing at my brother. Where there is a woman with both talent and beauty, there is a woman with both talent and beauty. How did you know that she would be your Crown Princess so coincidentally?”? If you don’t believe it, just say that heaven and earth are so big that there must be a woman like that with you. Later, in the end is not elected, you and I all know that the reason for not choosing is the Empress Dowager, because. She wants the queen to come from the family of Zhangsun. Sure enough, after that, she brought the emperor’s wife into the palace. You used to bully the emperor’s wife all the time, but when it comes to the big wedding, you’re happier than anyone else. There were more than a thousand guards of
honor, and the betrothal gifts were all over Chang’an. At that time, the wedding of emperors and empresses was enough to shock the world, and even he was envious of it.
After marriage, the emperor and the empress were very affectionate, and he knew that his brother had found the woman he wanted.
Liu Chang had not mentioned the beginning for a long time, but now he recalled it again, adding to his grief in despair. When he saw Liu Xu’s hand stretched out, he could not help lowering his eyebrows and looking at the half of the jade pendant in his palm.
Gentleman without reason, jade does not leave the body.
Her voice and face were still in front of her, but she would not come back.
Brother Wang, my queen.. It’s gone.
His queen, who was dignified, gentle, tolerant and kind, had disappeared.
Liu Xu grasped the jade pendant, for their own brother’s mood today, almost empathy, if one day. Qiu Yan disappeared like this, perhaps he was even sadder than his brother.
Can The queen is gone, the country is still there, the state is still there, the people are still there, even if only the king is left, no matter how hard it is, he will go on this road.
Lonely, since ancient times.
“Brother Huang, you know, I can’t be a prince, and I can’t be an emperor. If something happens to Brother Huang, who will carry the burden of the full court?”? When Empress Yin died of illness, Yeh Mei-ren was afraid that the King of Guangling would not be able to defeat you, so she wanted to bring down the imperial concubine. It was her mother who saw the clue and put her own life on the line against Yeh Mei-ren. Only then did she protect the imperial concubine and our two brothers.
In fact, their hearts are clear, even the mother and concubine can see the trick, why the imperial concubine will not see?
All because the imperial concubine wanted to make Ye Meiren’s stratagem into a dead end.
If the imperial concubine fell, the mother and their brothers could certainly be saved, but the mother’s position was lower than that of Ye Meiren, and their brothers could not compare with the King of Guangling in terms of birth.
But if the mother fell, the imperial concubine is still, the situation is not the same, they were raised in the palace of the imperial concubine, according to the imperial concubine is their mother, with the imperial concubine, their brothers can be stronger than king of Guangling.
And the imperial concubine’s wish is not only to let one of their brothers for the crown prince to ascend the throne for the emperor, she also want to do the queen mother, if the mother is alive, her this queen mother is not worthy of the name, only the mother went, her queen mother’s position can sit firmly.
So she watched helplessly as her mother, like a moth to the fire, abandoned her life and rushed back to Ye Meiren. When she
was about to leave, she called you and my brother to her and told us that we must listen to the teachings of the imperial concubine, that we should not be resentful, that we should not be reckless, and that we should not fail to live up to her expectations. She also said that she would stay here to take care of us. My brother thought, the emperor’s sister-in-law. Probably like his mother and concubine, he hasn’t left here, but has changed his way to accompany his brother.
She left him countless memories, but also left him endless thoughts.
“Your Majesty, the King of Jiangdu has gone back.”
Su Wen saw Liu Xu off and bowed into the inner hall. The king was still sitting there. Hearing the sound, he looked up at him for a while and said, “Put out the light.”
“Promise.”
Su Wen winked, trying not to let the tears fall down, knowing that he had moved the king of Jiangdu when the reinforcements were right, he hurried forward to blow out the lights.
Unexpectedly, the king changed his mind in the middle, and suddenly stepped forward. Before he blew the lamp, he pinched the wick with his hand. The light of the fire flashed
, and suddenly he burned his cuff, scaring Su Wen to put out the flames. He knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just think of the old slave as begging you for the empress. The body of a thousand pieces of gold and the body of ten thousand chariots must not be so ruined!”
He didn’t spoil it.
Liu Chang lowered his head in a daze and said, “Su Wen, so the empress was in such pain in the side hall at that time.” The
light went out, the situation is difficult, Liu Chang this sleep is really drowsy, a few long dream never wake up.
If we say that two days ago, the empresses of the palaces avoided the king’s thoughts, and were afraid of affecting themselves, they did not dare to come. This time, they saw that the court had been closed for five days, and there was no movement in the Xuanshi Hall, so they could not help but feel uneasy. Early
that morning, the imperial concubines, led by Qin Zhaoyi and Zhao Jieyu, came all the way to the front of the Xuanshi Hall, dressed in plain clothes and white shirts, and knelt all over the ground, hoping to see the king and ask if the holy bow was safe.
Su heard that there was a strange fire in the side hall. He also knew that the murderer was in this group of people. But the king didn’t pursue him, and he couldn’t overstep his authority. Seeing that they dared to come to face the saint, he had to hold back his anger and advised, “Empresses, you’d better go back first. Your Majesty..” I’m sure I don’t want to see the empresses now.
“What does Su Chang-shih mean by that?” Zhao Jieyu raised her head and raised her scarlet lips. She was extremely dissatisfied with the most popular person in the imperial court. “You didn’t even go in and say anything, but you dared to say that Your Majesty didn’t see our sisters?”? How dare you!
“I dare not.”
Su Wen put on his tail and bowed gently. “If the empresses don’t believe me, I’ll wait here until I go down and ask them again.” As
he spoke, he went into the temple, but he never came out again.
Qin Zhaoyi and the others were kneeling until their knees were numb. Xu Ronghua endured the pain and could not move. He angrily whispered to Zhao Jieyu, “Sister, isn’t that eunuch deliberately playing tricks on us?”? How come you’ve been in there for so long and you haven’t come out?
“How dare he!” Zhao Jieyu is also angry, thought Zhangsun Qiushui was reduced to a palace man, dead is dead, the king is sad for a while, is it difficult to be sad for a lifetime?
Unexpectedly, she died, but still let them live in peace.
“Hum, after today, let’s see how long Su Wen can be proud of himself!”
She turned sideways, trying to get comfortable on her knees. The beauties kneeling
behind them, Chongyi, Changshi and Shaoshi all moved their stiff bodies a little, so as not to make a joke when the king called again. In the
crowd, Chen Baolin, who was kneeling safely, saw that Su Wen was no longer coming out. Suddenly, he stood up and startled Xu Liangren, who was kneeling in the slanting thorn. Before he could ask her what was wrong, he heard her laugh out loud.
The imperial concubines were startled and stared back at her. Even Qin Zhaoyi couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with Chen Baolin?” Doesn’t
she have the best friendship with Zhangsun Qiushui? How Zhangsun Qiushui died, she cried too late, but laughed?
Chen Pao-lin ignored her and waited until he had laughed enough. Then he glanced over the faces of the concubines kneeling on the ground one by one. When he opened his mouth, his voice was so shrill that it was terrible: “Do you think you killed the empress?”? No, you have killed your majesty, and from now on, all the people living in this palace will be the living dead! You still want to be the empress and go into the pepper room. You dream. It’s all a dream. If you kill the empress, Your Majesty will never see you again. Are you happy? Are you happy?
“You!” All the imperial concubines were frightened when they heard this.
Qin Zhaoyi was so surprised that she turned pale. She hurriedly scolded the people in the palace: “Chen Baolin is crazy. She’s crazy. Pull her down quickly!”! Pull it down!
“Why do you bother, Empress Paolin?” With red
eyes, she helped Chen Baolin to the couch with Cuiye carefully. The empress was gone. The screwdriver in the palace had stepped on the low and held the high. She had annoyed Qin Zhaoyi and Zhao Jieyu at this moment. How could she come to a good end?
Seeing that the spring is not yet warm, the charcoal fire in the house has been exhausted, but at this moment, Chen Baolin has caught a cold again, and if he doesn’t get better, something big will happen.
Chen Baolin did not know his fate, but she wanted to see Qin Zhaoyi their fate, I am afraid it may not be better than her where to go.
“Be careful, Your Majesty. Watch your step.” Another
wind and rain, when the sky cleared up, the ground faintly visible green grass color, the original imperceptible, spring has arrived.
Su Wen led the way ahead. On one side, the side hall had not yet been repaired, and it was still what it looked like after the fire. Everyone in the Xuanshi Hall knew who lived there, so he did not dare to approach it, nor did he dare to disturb it more. He only cleaned the outside a few times.
Liu Chang Yu Guang once again swept over the collapsed place, as usual, she has not yet appeared, but the blue grass under the pressure, washed by wind and rain, has slightly revealed a trace of green. Suddenly
he stopped, and Su Wen could not help but stop. Seeing that the king was just staring at the side hall, thinking that he was missing his old friend again, he did not dare to say much, nor did he dare to persuade him. After waiting for a long time, he heard the king say as if to himself: “If only I hadn’t moved the bluegrass here.”
Just because he moved once, the bluegrass suffered so much.
Just like her, if she was still in Nagato, she would not suffer in Yeting. If she had been in Yeting, she would not have come to him. If she had not come to him, naturally she would not have suffered the pain of the fire.
Su Wen Nuo did not dare to answer, the king often so in recent days, he saw more will also be used to, as long as the king is willing to eat and sleep, even if he said from morning to night.
What’s more, today is the last seven of the empress, your majesty miss the queen, also in reason.
He just followed behind the king, after Cangchi, you can see Jinhua Terrace. When Princess Jiangdu made a scene in Jinhua Terrace, the scenery was still good. Now it may be that the winter cold has not disappeared, and the flowers and trees on both sides of Jinhua Terrace are still withered.
Liu Chang pointed to the towering mountains behind the Jinhua Terrace and turned to Su Wen, saying, “In the future, I and the empress will be buried in Yangshan.”
Yangshan faces south and is expected to be the capital of Jiangdu.
Jiangdu scenery is good, the most pleasant place to go, he knew she had wanted to go to Jiangdu to have a look.
Su Wen pressed the bottom of his heart to answer with fear. He managed to walk through the Jinhua Terrace and finally saw the Buddha Hall. Only then did he slowly breathe sigh of relief. The ever-burning light in the
Buddha Hall was ablaze, and the king went in alone as usual, leaving him outside.
Curling sandalwood incense, like smoke and clouds, envelops one side of the world.
Five years ago, he set up a Buddhist temple to seek a reincarnation for the child he had never met. Five years later
, he would come to the Buddha Hall to ask for an afterlife for his queen.
In the next life, may they not be born in the imperial family again, just be an ordinary couple, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, shoulder to shoulder, sleep together.
There is no world, no land, no people, only him and her, or one more of their children.
He sincerely pray, a kneel is half a day, Su Wen and so on anxious, suffering from dare not persuade, just at this time there is a small yellow door to come over, the way is the general came again.
This is the third time in this month, the first two times the king sent back in a few words, this time.
He looked at the closed Buddhist temple, waved his hand to the little yellow door, and knocked softly on the door. “Your Majesty,” he said, “Zhangsun Wugou is here.”
“What is he doing here?” The king’s words came faintly from inside.
Su Wen hung his head slightly and said, “It’s the same thing. He said he didn’t want to be a general of chariots and horses. He just asked Your Majesty to grant him..” Bring back the people of the Autumn Palace. Silence returned to the
Buddhist temple. Liu Chang put his hands together and looked at the benevolent Bodhisattva in front of him. Qiushui married him and was his man. No one could take her away.
“Tell the chariot general to go back.” He seemed to be tired, and after saying this, he said no more.
Su Wen had no choice but to reply like the first two times. As for whether Zhangsun Wugou would listen or not, whether he would reply or not, he was not in the mood to take care of it any more.
“Why is the beloved empress here?”
In Yilin Xuan, the palace gate, which had been closed for a long time, rarely had a trace of movement. Cuiye opened the door and was surprised to see Xu Liangren.
Since the rumor outside that Chen Baolin was crazy, no one dared to ascend the door of Yilin Xuan. Unexpectedly, Xu Liangren was concerned about his old love.
Xu Liangren smiled and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else except his maid, he said to Cuiye, “Are you here, Empress Baolin?”? If so, hurry and speak in the house.
“Yes, yes. Empress Paolin is here.” Cuiye was overjoyed and hurried to invite her to the room.
Although it was daytime, when Hsu Liang-jen entered the room, she still felt that Yi-lin Hsuen was really very dark. She turned her eyes and saw that the windows on both sides were closed tightly. She couldn’t help saying, “Even if you Pao-lin are sick, you can’t stay in the room like this. Why don’t you open the windows to get some air?”
“Don’t blame your beloved empress. It’s the Baolin empress who didn’t ask the slaves to open it.”
“Is it?” Xu Liangren pursed her lips, for Chen Baolin, she has always had a lot of places to see through, but this does not prevent her from associating with Chen Baolin.
Because she knew that Chen Pao-lin was as kind a woman as Empress Zhangsun, who was no longer with her, she did not want any more trouble to happen to Chen Pao-lin, so she waved her hand and told Tsui Yeh and the others to step down. “You go out first, and I’ll talk to your empress.”
Cuiye and Chixia stepped down, hoping that she could persuade Chen Baolin to change his mind and stop muddling through. Xu Liangren and Chen Baolin were the only two people left in the
room. Chen Baolin was still sitting by the window. Since Xu Liangren came, she had always looked like this and kept silent.
Xu Liangren took a sip of tea, knowing that what he was going to say might frighten her, so he slowed down and said softly, “Sister, I don’t know. Two days before the fire broke out in the side hall of the Xuanshi Hall, I saw Princess Jiangdu in the palace.”
At that time, the king had just made a tour of inspection in the east, and the princess of Jiangdu was supposed to accompany the king of Jiangdu. That day she saw her dressed in the clothes of a palace maid, and she thought she had made a mistake. When she came back, she only said that she did not know which palace maid she was, but she was so similar to the princess. If the princess saw her, she was afraid that she would make another scene. It was not
until after the fire in the Xuanshi Hall had passed that she looked back and realized something was wrong.
But because of the lack of evidence, I dare not talk nonsense in front of the king.
Moreover, everyone in the palace knew that the fire was strange. If she mentioned the name of Princess Jiangdu, she was afraid that the pool of water would become more and more muddy.
But she did not dare to speak to the king, but did not dare to speak to Chen Baolin, according to Chen Baolin’s wisdom, probably guess the relationship, even if it is a misunderstanding, somehow left her a thought is not?
Chen Pao-lin was still hanging his head slightly. After listening to Hsu Liang-jen’s words, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at her, as if a drowning man had grasped the last straw: Is it true what my sister said? Did you really see the Princess of Jiangdu?
“Mmm.” Xu Liangren nodded slowly, so similar to almost exactly the same appearance, want to be in addition to Princess Jiangdu herself, is no longer another.
“Green leaves, green leaves!” Chen Baolin hurriedly pushed open the window and raised his voice.
Cuiye hurried in and said, “What’s the matter with Lady Paolin calling the maidservant?”
“Go and look for Su Changshi.”
“Su Wen, Su Wen!” In the Xuanshi Hall, the king was also calling repeatedly.
Su Wen hurried over to see the king standing barefoot in the middle of the hall, with the big sleeves of his robe open. His face was very anxious. Seeing him, he asked a series of questions: “When Zhangsun Wugou came, did Princess Jiangdu come?”
Jiang.. Princess of Jiangdu? Su Wen did not know that he suddenly asked what Princess Jiangdu was doing. He thought for a moment and then said, “I didn’t hear that Princess Jiangdu had been here. I only heard that the general of chariots and horses had come.”
“The feelings between Princess Jiangdu and Qiushui are much deeper than those between the chariot generals and Qiushui. When the chariot generals came, why didn’t she come?”
This.. Perhaps the King of Jiangdu is hiding this from the Princess of Jiangdu? If not, if the princess of Jiangdu knew that the autumn palace was gone, how could she give up?
No! According to Wang Di’s temperament, it’s a matter of Qiushui. He won’t hide it from Princess Jiangdu. But the king didn’t agree. He waved his hand and shook his head. “If she knows, why doesn’t she go to the palace and ask for justice for her sister?”
“This..” What does it matter whether
the princess of Jiangdu enters the palace to seek justice? She went to the palace just to make a scene, but no matter how noisy, the empress will not come back, right?
He was afraid that the king would jump from one demon barrier to another, so he quickly followed with a consolation: “Perhaps the princess of Jiangdu was too sad to enter the palace.”
“No, she is not like that. If she is sad, she will make everyone grieve with her.” If
she doesn’t come, could it be. Could it be that she knows something?
“Su Wen, send a decree to summon the Princess of Jiangdu to the palace for an audience!” As soon as
the king gave the order, the little Huangmen who delivered the decree arrived at Jiangdu Wangfu before dawn. When the decree was announced, not to mention that the attendants of Jiangdu Wangfu were surprised, even the king of Jiangdu was very surprised.
“Why did the emperor call you into the palace so early in the morning?” He looked at Qiuyan slowly dressing up in the morning and asked in a low voice. “Who knows?” Said
Qiu Yan. “Maybe it’s because of my sister. I’m not sure if I want to give an explanation to our family.”
“Huh?” When the King of Jiangdu heard this, he couldn’t help but gasp. “Then I want to go with you,” he said. “You have such a temper. If you say something wrong in front of the emperor and annoy the emperor’s brother, no one can save you if I don’t go.”
“Come on, even if you go, you won’t be able to save me.”
Princess Jiangdu gave him a white look and said, “Besides, your brother’s imperial edict didn’t tell you to go with me. You’d better stay at home and wait. I’ll be back in a morning. I don’t know if I can bring my sister’s ashes back.”
“Then you are delusional.” The king of Jiangdu smacked his tongue and heard that the chariot general Zhangsun Wugou had gone to the palace three times, but had not been able to get back the ashes of Zhangsun Qiushui. She must have gone the same way.
His elder brother, now also left a breath hanging, if not for the country tied, can not say to follow the empress Zhangsun went together.
He was slightly worried to send Zhangsun Qiuyan out of the door, repeatedly checked that she did not carry anything at random, and then told the attendants a few words, told them to take good care of the princess, if something happened, the first time back to the house to send a message.
However, he no longer thought that his own princess had not come back for several days.
Zhangsun Qiuyan looked coldly at the king sitting opposite him and thought to himself that he was so funny that he could still think that her sister could come back alive at this time.
“Your Majesty, I’ve said the same thing many times, and I don’t want to say it again. There’s only one thing. If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, you can send someone to search the palace in Jiangdu to see if I’ve hidden my sister.”
“I won’t search it.” Liu Chang sat like a bell, black robe straight to the end, he knew she was difficult to deal with, so he had already made plans, and had the patience to deal with her.
“I’m just curious. Your sister had such a big accident in the palace. Even Zhangsun Wugou went to the palace to see me several times. Why can you still be calm in the palace of Jiangdu?” So what if
I can’t hold my breath? Isn’t it your Majesty’s own will? The Princess of Jiangdu is not allowed to enter the palace without a summons, but I have obeyed the order.
“Oh, if you had really obeyed, you wouldn’t have dressed up as a maidservant and followed the King of Jiangdu to the palace again and again.” Liu Chang naturally didn’t believe her. “What’s more, I told you not to enter the palace without a summons. Now that you know that your sister died in the palace, why aren’t you sad and angry?”
“What am I sad about?”
Zhangsun Qiuyan seemed to hear something very funny. He couldn’t help snorting, “It’s too late for me to be happy that my sister is dead. What’s so good about her being alive?”? Which one of you asked her if she wanted to be the queen? Since she became queen, she has been caught between the palace and the family every day. In this palace where people eat and do not spit bones, she treats everyone well, but how do others treat her? They wished she would die, and that she would never appear again! Only when my sister is dead can she be good, only when she is dead can she be free, only when she is dead can she be herself.
“You!”
“Your Majesty!”
Liu Chang’s immovable body was finally so angry that she could not stand it. She was so angry that she had not yet spoken. The sulk in her chest, which had been depressed for a long time, seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and immediately spurted out.
He had no time to cover his mouth, only to see the scarlet spots falling all over the sky, frightened Su Wen’s face pale, hurriedly came forward to support him, pulled the veil and wiped it at the corners of his mouth, and when he took it down, he found that the white veil was red.
“Your Majesty!” He turned pale with fright.
Zhangsun Qiuyan was also startled by this sudden scene. When he recovered, he curled his lips and said, “What are you panicking about? There’s an imperial physician in the palace. He won’t die for a while.”
“My ancestor, I beg you, please don’t say anything!”
Didn’t you see the king was angry and vomited blood?
Su Wen held Liu Chang carefully and wiped the blood on his lips again and again. He didn’t know what the king had done in his previous life. He had to meet an enemy like Princess Jiangdu in his life. Anyway, the king was also her brother-in-law. Could it be that if her sister died, the king would get any benefit? Why bother to ridicule others like this?
That is to say, for the sake of Empress Zhangsun, he and the king were able to endure her a little. If not, she would be able to sit here unharmed, and she would not know how many floors she had gone to prison.
You.. … … Su Wen sighed helplessly and had no time to argue with her again. “Your Majesty, let’s forget it today,” he said. “I’ll wait for you to go back to the Xuanshi Palace and announce a doctor.”
If it’s all right, if the king has something to do, it would be strange if he didn’t come back to settle accounts with the princess of Jiangdu! Holding back his anger,
he persuaded Liu Chang to leave. Before going out, he told the guards carefully, “Take care of the people inside. If something goes wrong, I’ll ask you to come and see me.”
“Promise!” Yu Linlang, the guard, did not dare to be careless. He was so strict that he had a cold blade. What he carried was frightening. The little Chamberlain, who had been
sent to inquire, looked at it from a distance and saw that the other side of the chamber was so well guarded that he could not leave or right, so he had to go back and report it first.
Qin Zhaoyi held her forehead lightly. She was really suffering from a headache recently, but this time no matter how severe the pain was, she didn’t dare to go to the Xuanshi Palace to ask the king to see her. She said she was guilty or afraid. Just the thought of Zhangsun Qiuyan entering the palace made her spine cold.
That is not a good stubble, since she knows that her sister is dead, how can she give up? I can’t say I’m going to make a scene.
But she was not afraid of her trouble, the original thing was done so secretly, the person who handled it was also sealed, she did not believe what could be left behind.
However, the king’s side is really too worrying, what does he mean by leaving Princess Jiangdu in the palace for many days?
She couldn’t figure it out, and Zhao Jieyu couldn’t figure it out even more. The wood under
her hand had just grown a trace of greenery after winter, and she pinched it several times with her fingers, and almost took away most of the greenery, so she still did not understand her hatred.
“Zhangsun Qiushui has been dead for two months. Your Majesty can’t forget it, but now he has summoned her sister to the palace and served her with good food and drink. What does Your Majesty mean by that?”
Now put them these concubines do not even look at, every day only to see that Jiangdu Princess, when they are not a decoration?
His attendant also asked, “Heaven’s will is unpredictable, and so is Heaven’s grace. Doesn’t Empress Jieyu feel that Your Majesty has been very kind to Princess Jiangdu?”
At that time, Princess Jiangdu made a scene with the Empress Dowager Dianyi and Jinhuatai. The king had never been annoyed. As soon as Zhangsun Qiushui passed away, he immediately took Princess Jiangdu into the palace. Who can say the clue?
“Moreover, Princess Jiangdu and the deceased Empress Zhangsun were born somewhat alike.” It is also reasonable for
the king to see him and think of others. When
Chao Chieh-yu heard this, she had an intuitive sense of the world. “Are you a crazy slave?”? Princess Jiangdu is the wife of the King of Jiangdu, the younger brother and sister of Your Majesty, and also the sister-in-law of Your Majesty!
If your majesty really has the intention to leave Jiangdu princess, the world don’t say your majesty lost the big Lun!
“It’s not a strange thing for a brother to marry a sister-in-law,” the attendant hesitated, but went on. “The slave just wants the empress to make a plan as soon as possible.” What plan could
she have? If or really to that day, also can only look forward to the king of Jiangdu into the palace to make a scene, after all, the outside can know that the king of Jiangdu and princess of Jiangdu love very heavy.
As for her, killing a Zhangsun Qiushui was enough to make her work hard, and adding a Jiangdu Princess, she didn’t have the ability to deal with it.
“Pao-lin, stay!” In front of
the Chengming Hall, Yu Linlang, who was on duty, saw someone approaching, and could not help but set up a knife to stop him.
Chen Pao-lin was not in a hurry. Yu Linlang refused to open the door for her, but when someone opened it for her, he stood outside the hall and called out in a loud voice, “My concubine Chen Wan wants to see the princess.”
Zhangsun Qiuyan was locked up in the hall and was bored. Two days ago, Liu Chang came to talk to her. Since that day, she vomited blood in his anger and never saw him come.
It was so rare for someone else to come in today that she was so happy that she hurried inside and shouted, “Let Chen Pao-lin come in!”
The guards, Yu Lin Lang, looked at each other and did not dare to open the door. With a snort, Qiu Yan got up and opened the door. “You dare not listen to me,” he said. “That’s really bold!” As he spoke, he waved to Chen Pao-lin, saying, “Come up here and don’t pay any attention to them.”
“Promise.”
Chen Baolin, carrying his clothes, stepped lightly up the steps and entered the hall under the gaze of Yu Linlang.
Qiuyan had a seat set up for her, and when she was served tea, she held a cup and drank it slowly. “Why is the Empress Paolin here today?”
“My concubine has heard that the princess has entered the palace. I don’t know if the princess has been well, so I came to see her.” She said, her tone as humble as ever.
Qiu Yan smiled. “What’s wrong with me?”
Chen Pao-lin’s eyes shone brightly: “The empress has passed away, and the princess has a deep sisterhood with her. I think there will be something wrong with the empress.”
So that’s why you’re here. Why, your majesty, when he can’t find out anything by himself, did he ask you to ask? With a sneer, Qiu Yan puts down the teacup in his hand. “Then he’s miscalculated.”
If the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, she won’t say a word.
Chen Pao-lin shook his head with a faint smile. “The princess misunderstood me. It wasn’t Your Majesty who asked my concubine to come. It was my concubine who wanted to come.”. Concubine. I heard that someone saw the princess two days before the fire broke out in the side hall of the Xuanshi Hall.
Ridiculous! At that time I was fine in the Jiangdu Palace. When did I enter the palace? Zhangsun Qiuyan locked her eyebrows and rebuked her for talking nonsense.
Chen Pao-lin didn’t argue with her either, but went on to say, “The princess doesn’t know. When I heard the news, I was really very happy. If what the man saw was true, the empress would be all right.”
“Poof!” Here comes another wishful thinking.
Qiuyan’s face sank. “I’m surprised to say that,” she said. “Your Majesty thinks it’s reasonable that my sister thought I was hiding her. Why does Empress Baolin think so? My sister is dead. Shouldn’t you be happy? After all, no one will compete with you for favor after she dies.
“How could my concubine think that?” Chen Pao-lin smiled in a low voice for a long time before he looked at her face, which was very similar to that of the empress. “My concubine once said that she envied the empress very much, not only because the empress and the King of Jiangdu loved each other very much, but also because the empress only regarded the empress as her sister and the emperor as his majesty.”
But she is different, the queen is not only her sister, but also the mother of the world, is that person’s beloved woman, and your majesty is not only your majesty, or her unattainable husband.
“My concubine respects the empress and admires your majesty. Because of this, I know that I am too mean to match the king, so I want to send the best to the king. The empress is the best one.”
Therefore, she will be close to the empress Dowager, only to let her make Qiushui back to the palace, only to conspire with the supervisor and Su Chang Shi, let Qiushui appear in front of Your Majesty again.
You.. Why do you bother? Qiuyan is hardly credible. There is such a magnanimous and generous woman in the world. Isn’t it your own struggle to love someone?
Chen Pao-lin looked back and said, “Does the princess know when my concubine was happiest?”? It was the year she first entered the palace, when the empress of the Fengzao Palace deliberately pulled her concubine to talk and laugh with your majesty. Only then did your majesty look at her in a somewhat different way.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t looked at her that way since the queen went to Nagato.
“I know that the princess is on guard against me and everyone in the palace because of the fire in the Xuanshi Hall. But the princess, the last thing you should guard against is Your Majesty. Your Majesty loves the empress more than his own life.”
“Well, if he really loves me so much, how can he see that the fire is so strange that he doesn’t send someone to find out and avenge my sister?”
