The cicadas sing
and complain: Fireworks are easy to be cold. For whom do I bow down
? I am one of them. Cicada, but he insisted that I was his queen.
He took out a monster’s inner alchemy as a temptation and asked me to go back to the palace with him. My
eyes lit up and I immediately said, “Yes, I am the queen. Your Majesty, take me back to the palace.”
But after staying in the palace for a long time, I realized that he wanted a woman who looked exactly like me, not me.
01
I am a.. The Cicada Live
in the morning and die in the evening, you can’t talk about ice.
But I was gifted and diligent, so I don’t know how many of my peers died, until it was estimated that this year’s new cicada would call me ancestor, and finally I got the immortal fate and turned into a human form.
As a result, my life span has been pulled up by a large margin.
On this day, I folded my wings, rested under the big willow tree, and closed my eyes for a rest. The gentle breeze gently brushed the hair on my temples and the corner of my clothes, and my mind gradually sank and I was going to sleep. I was woken up by
a rustling sound from far to near.
It’s the sound of human footsteps. Steady and firm, big step, male-male.
I was always afraid of humans, but I was really sleepy, thinking that I was in human form again, and he couldn’t do anything to me, so I turned around and continued to brew sleepiness.
He stood in front of me.
“Ah Zhi!” His voice sounded like broken jade. When I opened my eyes, I saw that he was a gentle and handsome man with a smile in his eyes. “I’ve come to take you home.”
I “You’ve mistaken me for someone else, sir,”
I said politely.
“Ah Zhi, you’re still angry with me, aren’t you?” Who would have thought that the man would suddenly change color, with tears in his eyes, and stare at me, “It’s all my fault..” You are Aori. How could you not be..
My heart missed a beat.
Broken.
You’re using me as a stand-in.
This immortal immortal longevity Heng Chang, in terms of age should be this person’s grandmother, naturally read countless stories. In the tear-jerking script, there are always Miss White Moonlight, the bitter substitute girl who looks exactly like White Moonlight, and the princes who fall in love with the substitute without knowing it. They torture each other, love and hate each other, and finally the princes and girls accompany each other for a lifetime.
Apparently, I took the girl’s script.
It’s a pity that Ben Xian still has to practice, so he doesn’t have time to accompany him to play this love drama.
“Young man,” I repeated, “you really have mistaken me for someone else.”
“Ah Zhi, I have abolished Concubine Rong as a commoner. If you are still angry, I will give her death when I go back.” Not giving up, he looked at my expression and grabbed my hand.
Human beings!
So bold!
I had never been in contact with a human before, and I got goose bumps all over my body and quickly opened his hand. Between each other’s movements, something fell out of his sleeve, rolled down on the grass, and rolled to my side.
The sun was in full bloom, and the thing reflected a brilliant light, which suddenly dazzled my eyes.
It’s a monster’s inner elixir!
“Come home with me, Orie,” the pitiful human whispered. “Don’t be angry.” I felt
a warm and sincere smile in my mind.
“Xianggong,” I skillfully picked up the inner alchemy, hid it in my sleeve, and threw myself around his arm. “Where is our home? These beads are so beautiful. Don’t you have a lot of them at home? “Ah Zhi,”
he said, “you call me Xianggong.. You used to call me Tingnan.
Men have a lot of things to do. The
smile on my face did not change, and I accepted good advice like a stream: “Ting Nan.”
It’s just a double! The inner alchemy of the
monster is of great benefit to my cultivation. The great immortal can bend and stretch. In order to cultivate, I can do anything.
I went home with Tingnan.
He said that his surname was Xie, his given name was Ying, and his courtesy name was Tingnan. He was an ordinary human emperor, and I was his first wife. Not far from the mountains where
I have lived for a long time is the towering imperial city. He rode back to the palace with me in a carriage. In the carriage, Hsieh Ting-nan said, “Concubine Rong was so spoiled and domineering that she bumped into you.”. I was deceived by her for a moment and scolded you, but that night you left the palace in anger. After a pause,
he sighed and asked me, “Ah Zhi, you don’t remember anything.”
The tone is very firm. Naturally,
I acted with him: “I..” I bumped my head, and when I woke up, I lost my memory. That’s why I didn’t recognize Your Majesty.
“I will find all the famous doctors in the world to cure you.” Hsieh Ting-nan said, It’s my fault, too. I shouldn’t have listened to Concubine Rong.. Don’t worry, Ah Zhi. From now on, there will be three thousand in the harem, and I will only take one gourd ladle to drink.
I made a moving look and sniffed at it in my heart. It was too late to mend the fold after a
sheep was lost, not to mention that Ah Zhi was probably dead. It was not disgusting for him to tell his heart to a double.
Bah! Dog Emperor!
He wanted to say something more, but I really didn’t want to talk to him. I opened the curtain and pretended to look at the scenery.
The Forbidden Palace has green tiles and vermilion, and every inch of glazed tile is shining with clear light. The carriage rumbled along, and the gray-blue sky, hidden behind the eaves of the palace, became smaller and smaller, and eventually only a small square piece remained.
The carriage stopped. “Your Majesty,” said
the rickshaw puller respectfully, “Your Majesty, please come down.” The residence
of Azhi is the Jiaofang Temple.
I am an erudite immortal, and naturally I have heard the story of the pet of the pepper room. Moreover, the Jiaofang Palace has been the residence of the empress since ancient times, and the warm and fertile pepper mud is a good moral. But as soon as I stepped in, I felt a chill and shivered. A maidservant came out of the
hall. When she saw me, she knelt down in tears and cried, “Empress!”! You’re back!
“The queen was injured outside and lost her memory,” said Hsieh Ting-nan. “You have to take good care of your master.”
I watched him acting coldly.
“Ah Zhi,” said Hsieh Ting-nan, who had not done enough of his own acting, turned to me with deep affection. “This is where you used to live. The bamboo slave is your closest maidservant. Tell me whatever you want. Holding back my goose bumps,
I pretended to be in tears and said, “Your Majesty loves me so much that I can’t repay you.”
Endure, endure again.
Inner alchemy is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat. Get more, and then run away.
Zhu Nu said that “I” was the only daughter of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. I was a childhood sweetheart of Your Majesty and married him early. In the third year of their marriage, the late emperor died, Hsieh Ting-nan ascended the throne, and “I” became empress.
“Concubine Rong was fooling the Lord and slandering the Empress. Your Majesty was also hoodwinked by her for a moment.” The bamboo slave was indignant, and when he saw it, he would talk to me endlessly about the hateful place of Rong Fei. Unconcerned, I interrupted her and asked, “Where are my parents?” The excuse
of amnesia may deceive others, but it will never deceive their own parents. If Ming Guogong and his wife visit the palace, I, a fake, will be exposed.
The bamboo slave suddenly froze.
She hesitated for a moment and then said with difficulty, “Empress, Guogong was seriously ill and died years ago.”. Madam grief-stricken, half a month later. And he went with them.
That’s good. That’s good.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Nu looked at my expression and whispered, “Empress..” I’m sorry for your loss.
“Bamboo slave, I forgot.” I took out the inner elixir from my sleeve and held it in front of her. “Think about it, are there any beads like this in the palace?”
The bamboo slave looked at it for a long time and said, “This bead is brilliant. It doesn’t look like an ordinary thing. Maybe Your Majesty has it there.”. If the empress likes beads, there are a lot of eastern beads in the storeroom.
“This is what Your Majesty has given me.” I put away the inner alchemy and said with a smile, “Tomorrow I’ll go and ask him for some more.”
The next day, I got up early and went straight to the Hall of Literary Brilliance. The bodyguard in front of the
hall said, Your Majesty is performing martial arts in the Arrow Pavilion and asked me to wait. How could I get it? I went back to the palace and changed into a light Hu suit. Then I went to the Arrow Pavilion.
The Arrow Pavilion is called a pavilion, but it is actually a large hall. In the open space in front of the hall, there were more than ten archery targets. I saw Xie Tingnan’s back in the distance. He was surrounded by several people. He wore a black gold suit, tied a high ponytail, and stood tall and graceful. I called out his name with joy in my heart.
“Ting Nan!”
Xie Tingnan turned around. I couldn’t see his face in the
sunlight.
“Ting Nan!” I ran forward excitedly, “Do you still have the beads of that day?”
I made a gesture at him. “You remember that one. It fell out of your sleeve.”
Xie Tingnan looked at me with a calm expression and did not answer.
I felt strange and wanted to ask again, but he took me in his arms, bowed his head slightly, and whispered in my ear, “Ah Zhi, come and shoot an arrow.” The man
next to him immediately handed over his quiver and said, “My minister Lin Chin-lin has retired from the deep to pay his respects to the empress.”
I followed the sound and saw that it was a handsome young man with a fickle and beautiful face who did not recognize his relatives. I drew an arrow and was about to say thank you when Hsieh Ting-nan gently pressed my shoulder and said, “This is the Marquis of Wu An.”
It turned out to be a little Marquis.
Xie Tingnan pressed my hand on the silver satin rhinoceros horn bow. He was so close that his hot breath sprayed on my head. The immortal was not used to human contact and could not push him away. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking.
He gave a short laugh, released me, and said, “Orie, calm down.” I can
shoot an arrow. As an immortal, nature is omnipotent.
I took a few deep breaths, forced myself to calm down, stared at the target, exerted my elbow, and aimed at the bull’s eye. The bowstring clanged, and in the blink of an eye-it
hit the bull’s eye!
Xie Tingnan is happier than me. He took the people around him and looked at them. He couldn’t restrain his joy. He shouted to the eunuch, “Bring my Bai Yucong!”
I got on the horse with him in a muddle.
“Your Majesty,” I have not forgotten the business. “The bead..”
Hsieh Ting-nan pinched my face and said, “Don’t call me Your Majesty.”
His hands were cold and rough, and I had goose bumps.
The horse galloped into a lush garden. Hsieh Ting-nan drew his bow and gave it to me. “This is my private hunting ground,” he said. A Zhi, hunt a hare to make dinner for me, will you? I remember you were the best at riding and shooting.
I’m still struggling: “Beads..”
He laughed and said, “I’ll give it to you when I get back.”
The white moonlight is good at riding and shooting, so I have to accept my fate. Put on your bow and watch out for movement in the grass.
“There are rabbits.” Xie Tingnan pointed it out to me. I followed the movement and shot an arrow, but I missed it. Instead, I startled a bird and flew over with a strange cry.
Hsieh Ting-nan took hold of my hand, but he raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at the bird. He said, “Let go,” and I let go. The long arrow went straight through the bird. Before it could utter a single whine, it fell to the ground. A man came out of the grass, picked up his prey, and shouted out congratulations: “Congratulations to the empress for hunting a cuckoo!” And hid in the grass again. “The cuckoo is quite big,”
said Hsieh Ting-nan.
“So it’s a cuckoo,” I said. “No wonder it’s so loud.”
“Like what?”
“It’s better to go back.”
Without hunting the rabbit, Xie Tingnan ordered the kitchen to make the cuckoo into meat soup and send it to the pepper room.
He also gave me an inner elixir.
Scarlet as blood, bright in color. I was so happy that I looked at it again and again, wishing I could hold the two babies in my arms and kiss them. For the rest
of the month, I frequently went to the Wende Hall, accompanied Xie Tingnan to read books, write memorials, make tea, and sometimes went to the suburbs to run horses, but he was the emperor, with his hands tied and his feet tied, and always had a bad time. It was a beautiful day
, and I ordered the small kitchen to make a eight-treasure food box and prepare to carry it to the Wende Hall. As soon as I changed my clothes, I heard a message from outside: “Your Majesty has arrived.”
When I saw Hsieh Ting-nan now, it was like seeing a walking warehouse of spiritual power. I felt quite happy and stood up to greet him.
“I have nothing to do next, so I thought I would come and see you.” Hsieh Ting-nan came in slowly. “What did the empress have for breakfast?” “Your Majesty,” said the maid
next to her, “the empress has had half a bowl of orange cheese and half a fan of steamed stuffed buns for breakfast. Incense comes in.
He nodded and saw the food box on the table. He smiled at me and said, “Is this for me?”
“Thinking that your Majesty would be hungry because of his hard work in court, I ordered the small kitchen to cook some dishes and prepare to find you, but you came early.” I unrolled the food box and put everything on the table. “Cherry fried, fresh, steamed shrimps..” They are all light dishes.
“Don’t call me Your Majesty, call me Tingnan.” Hsieh Ting-nan said, This dish looks good. I’ll try it first, and then ask them to cook a meal at noon. There’s a new Shandong cook in the dining room, who is said to be a folk chef.
The maid of honor served a cup of tea gently.
“My mouth just got dry, and the tea came.” Hsieh Ting-nan seems to be in a good mood, with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed. “Even the minions in Ah Chi’s palace are more considerate than in other places.” When
the tea was ready, his face suddenly changed.
“Is this old tea?!” The
maid knelt on the ground, bowed her head, and said, “Your Majesty, it’s last year’s Dragon and Phoenix Tea.” In the
Queen’s Palace is old tea! How dare you give me something to drink? One by one, you don’t want to die! Hsieh Ting-nan threw the cup and was furious. “Drag it down, hit it 20 times, hit it hard!”.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare my life! The maid of honor kowtowed like garlic and wept, “Your Majesty, spare my life!” Unable to bear it,
I stepped forward and said, “It’s because I like to drink old tea.”. Your Majesty doesn’t know that this old dragon and phoenix ball has a special flavor.
Xie Tingnan stared at me coldly.
“Ah Zhi,” he whispered, “I hate old tea.. I’ve had enough of drinking old tea!
“That’s not twenty boards, is it?” I wanted to tell. “Didn’t Your Majesty just say that the people in my palace were considerate? She didn’t do it on purpose. Those who don’t know are innocent. Your Majesty, it is better to punish them in a small way than in a big way.
Xie Tingnan sneered.
Just for the sake of serving you, I only beat her 20 times. If she is not in the palace, I will give her death. When he had finished, he turned to the eunuch and said, “Drag it down. Twenty boards, no less.”
I watched the maid being dragged away by the eunuch.
Her forehead was blue, tears flowed, and she was still crying for the emperor to spare her life and the empress to spare her life.
I know. I can’t see her being executed. They’ll drag her to a quiet place, stuff her mouth, and beat her to pieces. But now, as I stood still, I could almost hear the dull sound of the board hitting the meat.
Twenty big boards, enough to kill a girl.
I shuddered all over.
Heaven is merciless, but it is so merciless.
Hsieh Ting-nan sits down, picks up a chopstick of shrimps, and smiles: “These shrimps are really good.”
He turned to me, his eyes burning with deep feeling, as if what had just happened had never happened before. He whispered, “Ah Zhi, what dragon and phoenix round tea? I remember you used to only like the first Xinyang Maojian Tea.”
From then on, there was only Xinyang Maojian Tea tea in my palace.
05
It was windy and rainy that night. The
palace has not had such a pleasant rain for a long time, like the Milky Way pouring down. The thunder exploded, and the night was lit up by lightning as bright as day. The palace people ran to close the windows and light the oil lamps. I couldn’t sleep. I sat on the couch and listened to the rain. I have experienced many such rains when I
was a cicada. Survive
in the soil, after a spring rain, climb up the tree and buzz. Practicing under
the tree, picking the green and fresh leaves after the torrential rain.
For an ordinary cicada, it does not know snow in its life, and what it has seen most is rain. Spring, summer, autumn, drizzling and pouring.
I haven’t seen snow either.
I felt the secret compartment beside the bed, and with a slight effort, an ebony box jumped out. I gently opened the button, inside is four lustrous inner alchemy, different colors, brilliant flow, full of brilliance. There was a sudden rush of footsteps
outside. It’s late
at night. The palace rules are strict. Who would want to die like this?
The wind and rain beat against the window. The bamboo slave sleeping under the bed had already woken up and hurried to stop the man. A few palace maids had seven hands and eight feet, and their soft-soled shoes were rubbing on the bluestone bricks, patter patter, without any rules, and hurried like a burst of drums. The door was half open, the rain was noisy, and their cherry-colored palace clothes were blown back into the wind, like silk ribbons swaying in the wind.
“The empress has already gone to sleep. This is not in line with the rules.” Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
“You cannot go in, Your Majesty!” There has never been such a precedent in
our history. Please come again tomorrow.
“Absolutely not..”
“Your Majesty!”
I opened the curtain.
Xie Tingnan stood behind the door, blocked by several ladies of the court. His plain white bedclothes were soaked tightly against his body by the rain, his long hair was wet and loose, and his face was pale and expressionless.
He saw me in the distance and his lips moved.
He’s talking about, a Zhi.
Zhu Nu and others avoided, and I saw that Xie Tingnan was not even wearing shoes, dripping all over his body, and holding a scroll in his hand.
He took two quick steps and hugged me, trembling and murmuring.
A Zhi.. A Zhi..
The scroll fell from his hand, was blown by the wind, and slowly unfolded. Painted is a woman, palace dress high bun, wearing silk irregularly slanting down, with the same face as me, beautiful eyes flowing, looking at God flying, is a kind of charming air. There is also a line of small print
beside it.
Xie Tingnan hugged me tightly. His body was cold to the bone, and a chill went straight into my bones. He encircled me in his arms, his body trembling, and he murmured, “Ah Zhi.”. I listened to his rapid heartbeat, poked my head out of his shoulder and stared at the painting.
May my wife, Ah Zhi, be free and unrestrained, as free as the wind, and may all things come true.
I just feel bored.
“Don’t fool yourself,” I said quietly, sitting in his arms. “You know I’m not Oi.”
Xie Tingnan was stiff all over.
I seemed to burst his dream, and he slowly released and stared at me.
“You..”
I was so upset that I came clean and said, “I’m an immortal. I’m practicing in the mountains. I’m just going back to the palace with you to get what I need.”. Your Aori may or may not be dead. You know in your heart that it has nothing to do with me.
“Yes, yes.” His lips trembled and his voice was almost broken. “A Zhi..”
This man is a complete lunatic.
I looked coldly at Xie Tingnan kneeling on the ground and crying. All the palace people were driven out by him, the palace gate was closed, and the surroundings were frighteningly quiet. Holding the scroll in his arms, he buried his head and cried himself hoarse with the lament of a child. What
‘s he crying about? Is he crying for Aori? His majesty, the emperor of the
Great Yin Dynasty, was well-educated and full of knowledge, but he did not know that “it is too late to mend the fold after a sheep is lost.”.
I cast my eyes on the ebony box.
Four is enough for me to practice. This palace is like a huge beast with its mouth wide open, and I really don’t want to stay.
It’s time to go back.
The next morning, the bamboo slave dressed me.
From her point of view, what happened yesterday was that the emperor came to sleep with me in the middle of the night regardless of the rules. She was particularly pleased with the emperors and empresses’ deep affection for me. She put a gilded step on my hairpin and said with a smile, “Your Majesty and the empress are a perfect couple. The maidservants are all very happy.”
“Concubine Rong is nothing but a foxy girl,” she continued. “She’s not as beautiful as the Empress, who loves the emperor and his wife so much.” It’s Rong Fei
again.
I was finally intrigued and asked, “You mentioned Concubine Rong so many times. Did Concubine Rong and I used to be very difficult?”
“It was Concubine Rong, who, in a moment of your majesty’s favor, had no respect for her elders, and frequently bumped into you.”. The empress has a good nature and doesn’t care about her, but who would have thought that she would become more and more arrogant and go beyond her control everywhere.
I said, “Oh, where is she now?”
The bamboo slave got stuck in his shell and hesitated for a long time, saying vaguely, “It’s about..” Gave him death.
I did not answer, thinking that a few months ago when Xie Tingnan just saw me, he said that he had abolished Rong Fei as a commoner, how to come to the bamboo slave here, that is, to die? As
he spoke, the outer room came to report, and the concubine came to pay her respects.
Hsieh Ting-nan has only a few concubines, which is a far cry from the “three thousand harem beauties” mentioned in the script. I don’t have much contact with these concubines. Apart from greeting them, I don’t interfere with them.
Wan Bin, as her name suggests, is gentle and gentle, and speaks softly.
“The sisters all wanted to come to the empress to have a heart-to-heart talk, but Your Majesty said that the empress had just returned to the palace and could not stand the noise, so let us only pay our respects a few days later.”
I have no interest in Xie Tingnan, oh, oh, two prevarications.
“What happened yesterday has been told all over the palace.” Concubine Wan covered her mouth and laughed. “Your Majesty loves the empress, and the concubines are all envious.” There was some rare narrowness in
her words. As
I looked at her beautiful face, I suddenly thought of Concubine Rong and asked, “Where is Concubine Rong now?”
Wan Pin’s face suddenly changed.
She stood up hurriedly and felt that she had reacted too much. She forced herself to sit down and pretended to be calm and said with a smile, “This..” The empress asked what the man was doing.
“I’ve forgotten all about the past,” I said. “Why can’t this man mention it?”
Concubine Wan forced a smile and said, “Empress, what are you talking about?” Her
eyes flashed wildly, and she couldn’t hide her panic. After a long pause, she said, “Concubine Rong has long since been deposed as a commoner.”
This is inconsistent with the statement of bamboo slaves. “My concubine has something to do in the palace,”
she added. “I’ll leave now. I’ll pay my respects to the empress another day.” I didn’t drink a few mouthfuls of
tea, and I left in such a hurry.
I decided in my heart that Rong Fei had a big problem, and my curiosity was completely aroused. I didn’t leave her, so I took a sip of tea slowly.
This Xinyang Maojian Tea is really not as good as dragon and phoenix round tea. In the middle of
June
, Nanzhao paid tribute to a peacock.
It is said that the peacock is miraculous and pure white, which is an auspicious omen, indicating that the weather is good and the four seas are peaceful. Xie Tingnan had always loved rare animals, and when he got such an auspicious sign, he was overjoyed and feasted his officials. As his queen, I was also at the banquet. During the
banquet, the atmosphere was boiling, and the voices of congratulation and flattery were higher and higher. The peacock was in a cage, with its tail feathers, especially lonely in the grand and gorgeous background.
I stepped forward and gently stroked its white feathers.
It has not yet opened its mind, but it is already very human. It puts its head close to my palm and gently rubs through the cage.
“I pay my respects to the Empress.”
I turned around and saw the fickle face of the beautiful woman who did not recognize her relatives. Dressed in a crimson official uniform and adorned with a flowery cloak, he pretended to salute me and said, “Do you still remember me, Empress?”
I nodded. “The Marquis of Wu An.”
He laughed. “I have a name. Why does the empress give this man a title?”
Without waiting for me to answer, Lin Chin said, “Does the empress like to watch peacocks?” Of course
I don’t like peacocks. We are insects, and birds are natural enemies, but I want to stroke its feathers when I am bored during the dinner.
Lin Jin stretched out his hand, and I found that he was still holding a handful of bird food in his palm. The peacock was really short-sighted, and when he saw the food, he turned his head and pecked his hand. As he fed the peacock,
Lin Chin said, Your Majesty used to love peacocks the most. The peacock is the king of birds and has a divine nature, so the cage in which it is kept is not an ordinary cage, but — “he turned his head.”
I don’t know why: “?”
“Yes, there is a saying in Chu Ci that the Phoenix Emperor is here.” Lin Chin smiled slowly. “One bamboo and one slave.”
One bamboo, one slave..
Isn’t that the bamboo slave?
So that’s what her name means. Thanks to the fact that Xie Tingnan has read so many books, it is better to write a book than to name it.
Lin Jin exchanged a few pleasantries with me, then smiled and asked me to leave. I was absent-minded, hanging my head, and the imperial concubine appeared clearly in my heart, and I thought about when to leave the palace. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought about it.
It’s Lin Jin. I didn’t see him
just now. He had a bead tied to his side and a golden sash tied to it, swaying and shining as he walked. I gazed and saw that the beads were shining like the clear moon, which should be the top grade.
The fifth!
I didn’t have time to think, so I ran after him.
The bamboo slave whispered behind me, “Empress!”
“If Your Majesty asks, you can tell me that I’m too drunk to drink and that I’m going to rest first.” I’ll be brief.
Speaking kung fu, Lin Jin has walked out of a distance. He walked fast with a stuffy head, and my dress was too complicated to run, so I could only keep up with him slowly.
“The Marquis of Wu An!”
No response.
“The Marquis of Wu An!”
Still no response.
I was so angry that I almost suspected he was pretending to be deaf. After taking two deep breaths, I shouted at the loudest decibel I had ever heard in my life: “Lin Chin!”
This deafening sound, after all, let Lin Jin stop. When
he looked back and saw me, he was very surprised. He walked quickly up to me and said, “Why did the empress come out?”
“Can I have this bead you’re wearing around your waist?” I asked bluntly, pointing to it.
Lin Jin was even more surprised.
“Empress Ming Jian,” he said with an arch in his hand. “I don’t wear anything today except for the flowers. Is the Empress not mistaken? When
he said this with a straight face, the beads were still shining on his waist. I rolled my eyes in my heart, thinking that you are neither immortal nor dragon spirit, and it is reasonable not to see it.
I gave an awkward but polite smile.
“Lin Tui-yuan.”
“Huh?”
“Look behind you!”
When he turns around, I will avoid the inner alchemy. Who would have thought that Lin Jin was faster than me. With a block and a twist, he turned around and caught me in his arms. I shook my head and hit him in the face. I
don’t need the immortal method. My physical quality is really weak.
Lin Jinwei smiled.
“Empress,” he said kindly, “even if you’ve lost your memory, you should know the meaning of the character Wu, the Marquis of Wu’an.”
I
Lin Chin added, “I’ve heard that the Empress has been asking about Concubine Rong recently.”
I wondered, “How do you know?”
Lin Chin is very honest: “I have my eyes and ears in the Jiaofang Hall.”
I was even more curious: Which palace maid was the eunuch? Yihong, Delu, Xiyue..
“No,” he said, shaking his head. “I dare to ask, why did the empress mention Concubine Rong?”
This person will not have a personal relationship with Rong Fei, right?
I tell you the truth: “Curious.”
“I grew up with you, and the friendship is very great. Why don’t you come and ask me?” “Concubine Rong offended Your Majesty,” said Lin Chin. “She was deposed as a commoner and banished to Yongxiang. Life is worse than death.”
His tone was very light, but I was shocked.
Xie Tingnan is a man who loves to live and hates to die.
Run! Run! Get this inner elixir and run!
Now that I had made up my mind, I said to Lin Chin very sincerely, “Let’s go to Yongxiang.”. Your Majesty said that Concubine Rong was at odds with me. Maybe when I saw Concubine Rong, I would recover my memory.
Yongxiang is a long way away, so it’s convenient for me and Lin Chin to spend a little more time together and find a chance to get the inner alchemy.
Lin Jin gazed at me.
“Empress..” Fired with anxiety,
I tugged at his sleeve. “Let’s go.” The chilly
spring breeze blows my hairpin. In the midst of the golden bell, I heard his almost sighing response.
“Good.”
Of course, the road is not smooth sailing.
I dressed fussily, not like Qu Yi, but also layer upon layer, and struggled to get close to him to get the inner alchemy, the action was very funny. Lin Jin’s long board is upright, Xiao Xiao Su, vigilance is also strong, I can not succeed in the end.
Repeated several times, I am anxious.
“Just let me touch it!”
“Empress, great defense for men and women.”
I was exasperated. “Didn’t you say that I grew up with you and that I was very affectionate?”? Touch it. What’s wrong? You have a lot of meat! Come on, there’s no one here to see!
I was just hopelessly incapacitated and furious, but Lin Chin stopped and stabbed me at the waist: “Touch it.” It takes no effort to
get it! When I
got the inner alchemy as I wished, I almost cried with joy and turned to leave.
Goodbye, broken palace! I go back to practice, a thousand miles a day, standing immortal, boundless magic power! What a stand-in, what a queen, what Xie Tingnan, *** him!
Lin Jin stretched out his arm to stop me.
“Empress,” he whispered. “Here we are.”
Sure enough, behind me was a broken wooden door, cobwebs twisted and rotten.
I burned the bridge and said, “I suddenly remembered that there are still some things in the palace. I’ll go back first.”
I didn’t finish my words.
Because Lin Jin pushed me.
The wooden door creaked open, the dust rustled down, and there was yellow dim sunlight inside. The room was cramped, with only a rotten mattress. A woman in coarse linen was sitting beside the weeds. Hearing the noise, she slowly turned around.
Her face, no eyes! Only two blood holes!
I was caught off guard and cried out in surprise.
The woman turned her head sideways, facing me, and smiled slightly, which was very inconsistent with her horrible face.
Oi, who brought you here? Is it a retreat?
Her voice was soft and pleasant.
I wondered, “… …” Rong Fei?
Isn’t it said that the imperial concubine Rong was arrogant and domineering, and did not deal with the empress? In front of this woman gentle as water, attitude is also kind, unexpectedly will be. Rong Fei? “Why do you call me that?”
Rong said in a low voice.
Lin Chin came forward to explain: “She forgot all about it.”
Yes.. I don’t remember.. I hemmed and hawed, really feeling that she was kind, and in the middle of it, I told her the truth, “No, I’m not Azhi, I’m a fairy, but I look exactly like her.”. I came to the palace to practice.
Lin Jin and Rong Fei were stunned together.
After a while, she laughed and said, “I know you best. How could you not be Azhi?”. There are people who look alike, but can their voices and tones be exactly the same?
My heart missed a beat.
Yes. In
this world, are there really two people who have the same appearance, voice and tone? Dizzy,
I stepped back.
“Can’t you remember anything?” Rong Fei’s voice was clear. “Don’t you even remember your parents?” The Duke of
Ming.. My father died of a serious illness years ago, and my mother was so distraught that she went with him half a month later. This is what Zhu Nu said, and I repeat it completely.
Rong Fei’s face suddenly changed.
Her peaceful expression became ferocious, and I saw her teeth chattering and the lower half of her face convulsing. Rong Fei stood up with difficulty, and her voice screeched across my eardrums. “Who told you that?”! Who told you that Got sick years ago.. It was three years ago! Three years ago!!
The gate was kicked open.
Xie Tingnan, travel-stained, with a smell of alcohol, held me in his arms. He covered my ears with such strength that he almost broke my skull. “I should have killed you in the first place!”
He shouted. One of
them was louder than other, but I was strangely calm.
Xie Tingnan came in a hurry and should have left his attendants behind. He hugged me, gasping for breath. “Kill her!”! Kill her! Kill her!
His voice was deafening, but it could not hide the sharpness of the imperial concubine. Her words, word by word, are very clear and every word is pleasant to the ear.
They died three years ago! Your parents and relatives were all killed by Xie Ying! He slaughtered the entire line of the Duke of Ming. Have you forgotten all about it?
Have you forgotten all about it?
The past came in a flood, and my mind buzzed, and finally I could not restrain a scream from my throat.
I remember now! I remember now!
Xie Tingnan called Ah Zhi and pressed me into his arms. Guards filed in, several people and Lin Jin struggle, the leader seized Rong Fei, a knife gouged into her heart. She clutched her chest and collapsed in pain, not dying immediately, her mouth gurgling with blood.
My eyes widened. He
had a splitting headache and a strong fishy smell in his throat. I struggled to shake off Xie Tingnan and climbed towards Rong Fei with my hands and feet. She was panting and trembling, and it was a sign of death.
I heard my own heart-rending cry: “Wan Wan!” Blood and tears flowed from
Wan Wan’s empty eyes. She turned to face me with difficulty. Her voice was already hoarse. She used up her last strength. It was only a meager voice:
“Ah … …” Weave..
I spit out a mouthful of blood.
08
I am.. He Shuangzhi. The nickname
“Ah Zhi” comes from my mother, the wife of the Duke of Ming. She is a noble girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and she speaks Mandarin with a watery accent. In Wu Nong’s soft language, she calls me “Ah Zhi” and my small character “Yue Niao.”.
Yue bird is the common name of peacock.
This nickname was soon carried forward by Xie Tingnan, who is better known than my small print. He likes to pin the jade hibiscus on my head, teasing me that I am a “hibiscus fairy.”. Peach in spring, jasmine in summer, and plum in winter. He and
I, childhood sweethearts, young husband and wife.
…… It was I who showed my face and asked to marry him. I’m the one who
killed everyone.
Xie Tingnan’s birth mother was not favored and was born in a humble family. She was only a palace maid in Yeting. His mother and son had been in Yongxiang for many years, and the late emperor hardly knew that there was such a son. Father said, this is not a good match, to choose another son-in-law for me.
I won’t.
I used the worst means to ruin my reputation and finally got what I wanted. The day before I got
married, my father stood at the door of the wing, looking at my bright red clouds. The phoenix crown dazzled his eyes. Half of his life, his figure has been like a mountain in my heart, but now he is slightly bent, showing a tired old state.
“Yue Niao,” he said, “I’ve planned half my life for you.”
With my father’s help, Xie Tingnan soon made his mark in the court. He was quick and eager to learn, and was both wise and brave. Gradually, he won the favor of the late emperor, and changed to recognize Guo Guifei as his mother. When he was twenty years old, he was granted the title of King Yong. It was hard to
go to court, but he would squeeze out time to sit with me on the bench in the pavilion and read a fashionable script hand in hand.
My father ran for him and sought his followers. King Yong’s fame spread more and more widely, and finally at the age of twenty-three, he was given the title of crown prince. In August of the same year, the mountain collapsed.
Xie Tingnan became the emperor and I became the queen.
At that time, my father Huan Zang, with a purple ribbon, was in power; my cousin was stationed far away in the frontier, with a white horse and a silver spear, and was granted the title of general to protect the country; I was firmly seated in the palace, and my mother was in the world. The
flowers are covered with brocade, and the fire is cooking oil.
Our family is already rich and noble. Up and down the capital, there is no one who dares to be sharp.
I am extremely proud and happy. Horse racing and hunting in the suburbs of Beijing, and Xie Tingnan disguised out of the palace, and even involved in political affairs, committed a lot of transgressions and irregularities.
Then.
Once the hare dies and the dog is cooked, the bird hides its bow. The imperial censor impeached my father on sixty-four counts. Xie Tingnan ordered the Dali Temple to launch an investigation. In December of the same year, he was punished for conspiracy. The whole clan..
Behead. I fainted when I
heard the news. When I woke up, no matter how I cried and begged, he would not change his order. My mother, who sewed the wedding dress
for me, gazed deeply at my father before she got married. All my kinsmen died on the cold execution ground, under the guillotine. I’m the only one left alive in
a big family.
I’m the last one to live.
I’ve looked for death many times. Xie Tingnan ordered the destruction of the sharp weapon in the Jiaofang Palace and the dulling of the pearl hairpin in order not to let me have a chance to die. Many nights, he held me in his arms and said he would sleep with me when I was alive and sleep with me when I died.
I just feel sick.
Fortunately, there is Wan Wan.
She grew up with me and Lin Jin and had a deep friendship. Wan Wan could not bear to see me live like a walking corpse. She chatted with me every day to relieve boredom. Later, we planned to escape together.
She held my hand, and her eyes were full of firmness: “Ah Zhi, escape, escape from the palace!”
Escape! Escape from the palace. Some of my dowry maids were also
involved in this scheme.
But the matter was exposed. Xie Tingnan was so angry that he imprisoned me in the Jiaofang Palace and painted the ground as a prison. I was worried and unhappy all day long, but I only felt that Wan Wan was also grounded.
Two years later, I learned that she had her eyes gouged out alive and was banished to Yongxiang. The rest of the maids were killed with canes. After
that day, I suddenly felt that I was a cicada.
Spring lives and autumn dies, singing its life, I do not know there is snow.
My parents died in the third year of Jianning, the third year of Xie Tingnan’s accession to the throne.
It was a snowy day.
09
Xie Tingnan said that he would bury Wan Wan.
“So you know everything, right?” I stared at him and asked softly, “You lied to me …” You deliberately said that I was at odds with Wan Wan, and you lured me with beads. Your Majesty, what a trick.
“On the day you fled from the palace, it rained heavily.” Hsieh Ting-nan still wanted to hug me, but I brushed him away and said slowly, “When I found you in the back hill, you didn’t remember anything.”. Oi, this is a gift from heaven. It doesn’t have the heart to turn us against each other.
A Zhi, how nice it is for you to be an immortal forever! I can give you anything, power.. Status. Love, I will give you what I have! A Zhi, why do you want to remember. They’re all Yang Wan’s cheap maidservants!
He frantically pulled a string of beads from his waist and held it in front of me. I looked at it coldly, round and shining, surrounded by brilliant light.
I know. It’s my imagination.
What demon Dan, what immortal, it is my illusion.
In my whole life, I have been deeply grateful to my teachers and friends. At this time, it’s like waking up from a dream. No matter how good the spring scenery outside is, I don’t want to waste any more time.
I picked up the guard’s sword and smiled back at Xie Tingnan.
“Ah Zhi,” he said in a panic, “don’t do anything stupid!”
With these words, he came forward to stop me and wanted to seize the sword.
This is exactly what I want.
I had never had so much strength to thrust the sword straight into his heart with my backhand. The strength of the sword was so deep that it came out through the body, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword. The bodyguard waiting outside the house heard the sound and came in. Xie Tingnan could not make a sound. He could only wave his hand to them with difficulty and try to make a mouth shape.
But it’s too late.
I don’t know whose sword cut my throat. The blood gurgled, and I fell to the ground, listening to their hurried cries of “Your Majesty!” “Chuan Taiyi!”
…… It’s none of my business.
The line of sight gradually blurred, I saw father and mother together, walking slowly from a distance. They were still the same as I remembered them. My mother called me
softly in the soft voice of Wu, “Ah Zhi.”
I used my last strength to pull out a smile. Is there a cuckoo
outside the window?
It’s better to go back.
