Hou Kun

Chapter 296
Na Jiuzhi looked at him, his face was covered with frost, and he didn't speak a word.

Guo Qian covered his face with his hands, tears gushed out from between his fingers, dripped onto his plain shirt, melted away, and joined together.

"Don't blame me, Lord." He murmured.

After serving the emperor, he was still loyal to the second master, but as time passed, he became more compatible with the emperor's temper.The two gradually got to know each other and depend on each other.He was extremely confused, man, there has never been a thing where both ends are complete.He had to do his best, the emperor tried his best to save Tong Liu'er, it was the last resort, he didn't have the heart to break the situation.

But the things in the world are so coincidental, the little things he concealed, in the end, Guanglu was defeated and lost everything.

The two sat quietly drinking tea, not noticing that the light and shadow gradually shifted, and the blue-black tiles on the roof of Guo Qian's second-entry house were hidden in the night.Corrugated has long been unrecognizable, and the outline has been lost.When the ink color comes down, there is the desolation of barren mountains and ancient temples.

There were faintly a few ink dots on the corrugated boards, and the sound of the drum tower thumping in the distance made them jump up in shock, and after two or three laps around the courtyard, they flew away to the distance together.

"Master Jiu didn't come to see me, so I wanted to find Master Jiu too... I know, if something happened to Master, I wouldn't be able to live. It's just that he's back, so I'll steal a few more days and send him Yes, and I followed. You are here, and I have confessed, and my business will be over. I should give the second master an explanation." Guo Qian had already recovered his calm, and at this time he gave Najiu another cup of tea , said lightly.

Najiu asked him his plan.Guo Qiandao said that after he followed to the emperor's tomb, he would swallow medicine there.

Najiu snorted, "If he dies so cheaply, wouldn't my errand be ruined?"

If he doesn't die ugly, it's hard to appease the anger.

Guo Qian's face turned pale after hearing this, and he didn't say any more.

The Mausoleum of Emperor Daxing was officially named Jingling.It was only this year that he led the palace guard Ye Ling, and now, he is also lying in it.Fortunately, he settled the first empress well before he was alive, so he doesn't worry about it now.Empress Dowager Shu Lan led the concubines and sent him down crying, lying side by side with the previous empress.

The Empress Dowager looked back and slowly closed the gate of the Long En Hall, and they left, leaving behind a few bronze cranes and deer outside the hall, accompanying the late emperor on His Majesty Qingshi Baidan.

Emperor Daxing had a lot of ambitions in his life, but his achievements were really lackluster.From now on, she will send people to sacrifice to these two gods and couples every year, and she has ordered people to seal the underground palace.I won't join in the fun with them in the future, the three of them are too crowded, and the late emperor's feelings have always been only one, and they can't be separated.

Probably leave it to Eunuch Guo, no matter what, they all left, and the Qianqing Palace was quiet.

Shu Lan stared at the double eaves of the Longen Hall quietly for a while, and then moved her eyes to the sky. The sun was setting to the west and the sky was not good.After Emperor Daxing left, the wind and rain continued, as if crying for him, even when he left the capital, it was raining.

There was a smile on her lips, it's better to be alive.Alive, always have ideas.

She walked towards the chariot, her steps were a bit heavy, she picked up the corner of her skirt and looked at her feet, the shoes with sackcloth were really not light, she trembled, and continued to walk slowly.

The funeral procession returns, a small part of which is empty.Some of the late emperor's widows have stayed since then, and in this newly built grand palace with vermilion pillars and veranda roofs everywhere, which is not inferior to the Forbidden City, they began to practice for the rest of their lives, praying for the late emperor and the great fortune of the Great Xia. , Cultivate the next life for yourself.In the end, he confessed himself in the little concubine's mausoleum on the other side.

The rain drifted away again, Concubine Yu let out a sigh of relief, and waited for the mausoleum guardian to distribute the houses along with everyone.

She has the highest status among the concubines guarding the mausoleum, so it stands to reason that she can be confined in a corner of the Forbidden City to support the rest of her life.But she begged for grace herself and was willing to come to guard the spirit of the late emperor.

After the late emperor left, she first stared at her enough, and then gradually everyone forgot about her existence.After all, compared with Guo Qian, she is also a pitiful person. She is young, and she has passed the late emperor's sickness, so what if she was awarded the title of concubine. people hate.

Because of her illness, it is a taboo to raise a general in the palace, but the Empress Dowager thinks that she is clever, so she invites her out of the palace by herself, saving her trouble.

Ya'er protected her, and waited for everyone to rush over with their handkerchiefs, and comforted her master in a low voice, "Master, don't be angry, I heard that it is most pitiful to have no money here. Everything bought here will be punished by the eunuch of the mausoleum." Peel the skin! Think about it, the money left by the late emperor is enough for us to use for a lifetime, here is quiet and there are no chores, it is the best place to raise a baby."

This is why I escaped from the palace.It's okay if there is a girl in her belly, but if it's a son, how can the Queen Mother feel at ease?
Concubine Yu took a deep breath, thinking about the best, she must live on. "It's still the late emperor who was thoughtful. Thinking of my loyalty, he made plans for me early on. Speaking of which, my family can't be relied on at all. But there are still things that are not thoughtful..."

She rubbed her stomach, and made a fool of others, this child is really...

She looked there, and there was a group of women clamoring around the manager.The person in charge of Jingling is called Ma Delu.His name was a mouthful, and gradually people began to call him Master Lu.Today, so many ancestors came all at once, so he dealt with it patiently.When he first arrived, these masters still had tempers. After a while, he would be able to make them all peaceful.

He tucked his hands in and looked down at the eunuchs allocating houses to the concubines and mistresses. The houses are all newly built, and the interior layout is the same. There is nothing to choose.But prevent them from making trouble.

Sure enough, there were a few thorny heads, who were slapped back by him with a few words and strange yin and yang, and the rest slowly realized their situation, and they all settled down.

Concubine Yu was the last to come, and the misty rain was misty, quite beautiful.He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and put on his usual fake smile, "Why did you come here, it's cold in the mountains at night, you should be careful not to catch a cold."

This concubine's health is not good, he has figured it out a long time ago, if she doesn't have this insight, she can't be in charge.Who can offend, who can't, whose background is blurred, you have to find out the door first, and you have already found out about these things.For example, this one in front of me should continue to be raised in the palace, but she came here with these low-level concubines. Before she understands the reason behind it, she should not be easily offended.

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "I'm most afraid of the cold, and I'm sick, so please give me more charcoal fire, I want a fume cage." Ya'er has already cleverly pulled out a bank note and stuffed it into his hand.

Master Lu paused, saw that it was 50 taels, bowed his waist and arched his shoulders flatteringly, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the slave is here to serve the ladies, if you need anything, just call the slave."

Looks like the price is right.The 50 taels was discussed with Ya'er on the way. It's not that I can't afford it, but I'm afraid I'll give too much as soon as I come, and these greedy guys will focus on me.

Tanhuo made an agreement, and when he asked for a single house in the most remote place, Ma Delu was slow to respond.

On the way to the small courtyard, Ya'er spat, "Slave dog, this garden is already empty, and besides, you are a concubine, who can have a higher status than you here, and he still pushes back and forth, just to think about it." More money, greedy dog ​​slave!"

Concubine Yu didn't answer her words, thinking about her own thoughts sullenly, "It's settled for now, but in another month, my stomach... I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore, and I don't know if Su'er will do it for me. How's it going?"

There is one more.
