colorful butterfly

Chapter 87
The fire in the palace was finally extinguished, the sun still rose from the east as usual, the strong wind also dispersed the dust floating in the air last night, and the sky was clear.

People still get up early as usual, repeating the same livelihood as yesterday, those who sell breakfast sell breakfast, those who sell cloth sell cloth, and blacksmiths continue to complete the unfinished work yesterday.

Jiang's father and son, like other important ministers in the court, spent a sleepless night.On this night, Butterfly Villa's dream of rejuvenating the country for many years was about to come true, but just as they attacked the palace, and in a short period of time, they took control of important military secrets, and prepared to join forces with tens of thousands of people outside the city. When the entire capital is completely controlled and blocked.However, a group of mysterious troops appeared from nowhere and attacked them from behind. The soldiers and horses outside the city failed to rush into the city in time to support them.The people in the city were soon passive, and there were very few people left who were gradually wiped out.The soldiers and horses of the imperial court also rushed to the capital and regained control of the capital. The rebels outside the city saw that the general situation was gone, and their hearts were suddenly lost. Their leaders and their troops all dispersed. The capital was guarded, but the emperor disappeared. , the group of dragons has no leader, and the ministers gathered in one place, discussing who will be the emperor and preside over the overall situation.

This time, Butterfly Villa was seriously injured, and most of the people died in this rebellion. Li Qingmei was once captured in the chaotic battle, and it was those mysterious people who appeared out of nowhere. They were dressed in black, covering the The faces, all of them have extraordinary martial arts skills, and their moves are clean and neat.

After their leaders captured Li Qingmei, they let her go, but with a condition. They told her to encourage her father 'King Yongning' to inherit the throne, and secretly assisted her.Li Qingmei felt that there was no way out for her. If the mission failed, Butterfly Villa would definitely be found out. If her father ascended to the throne, it would also prevent Butterfly Villa from being liquidated in the future and ensure her own safety, regardless of the other party's plans. , can only agree.

That night, Li Qingzhu escaped from the capital with the Jiang family's female family members, and fled to a house of the Jiang family in Xinling. The Jiang family has many properties and has accumulated a lot of money over the years. There are many fields and house deeds, and the family is considered to be well off.She was worried about her parents, and she couldn't go back to the palace to protect them. After all, she had already left the cabinet, so she had to let Qiuye go back, so that she could feel more at ease.

Li Qingzhu was accommodated in a large room. After all, he was the princess, and now he didn't know who would be in charge of the court. Everyone still didn't dare to neglect. Mrs. Jiang's arrangement was considerate and thoughtful, and she cared even more for these two days.Li Qingzhu had mixed feelings in her heart. After all, she hated Mrs. Jiang's arrogant and rude behavior when they met for the first time. Now she has changed into a mother-like Bodhisattva heart, and greeted her warmly. .I thought of staying away from each other after marriage, but I didn't expect to see him every day without looking up.

Akiba is not there, and there is no one of her own, sitting alone in an empty room, jumping up and down in her heart, worrying all the time, worrying about her husband, her parents, and the unpredictable future.When night came, it was pitch black outside, a few red candles were burning silently in the room, and the whole room was empty, which made people think of Chang'e Fairy in Guanghan Palace, who stayed there alone, lonely for thousands of years.The wind outside has never stopped for a moment, blowing the stickers on the windows, making a rustling sound, and the roof tiles are also making a vibrating sound, like coming from the mouth of a bee, and the blown leaves are dancing wildly outside the house Li Qingzhu couldn't fall asleep all night, and only took a nap at dawn.And can't help falling into a dream.

Li Qingzhu dreamed that he was in front of a tombstone, dressed in white mourning clothes, kneeling on the yellow weeds in the field. There was no inscription on the tombstone. , I don’t know how many rows there are, there are people kneeling behind her who wear the same white mourning clothes as her, and the long filial hats block everyone’s face, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.Kneeling neatly behind her, row after row, she can't turn her head, she can only look around from the corner of her eye.She was very curious about who died and for whom she mourned.

But the moment she raised her head, everything disappeared, white smoke was everywhere, and she couldn't see everything around her clearly.For some reason, she lost consciousness all at once.When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in the coffin, wearing colorful and gorgeous clothes, surrounded by exquisite treasures, and the coffin board above her head was not tightly closed, and there was a gap, but she was lying in it But she couldn't get up no matter what, she tried all her strength and couldn't move an inch, shouted hard but couldn't utter a word, as if someone had cut her throat.She scratched around desperately with her hands, blood was all over her fingers, and after a while the blood flowed everywhere like water, soaking her whole body in the blood, which would soon cover her entire face, and gradually her entire head would also Immersed in bloody water, the bloody water was as thick as lake water, unable to exhale, unable to move hands and feet, body slowly sinking, consciousness gradually blurred, floating in the bloody water as if dead.

After waking up from the dream, Li Qingzhu was lying on the bed, covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked, clinging tightly to his body, and his temple hair was also clinging to his face, his whole body was weak, spreading out like a ball of dough.All the fear and fright were left behind by the dream.

Li Qingzhu got up slowly, but fragments of the dream still appeared in her mind, which made her terrified. She didn't dare to recall, let alone who the owner of that tombstone was.Never want to know.

After the fire, the imperial palace lost its former prosperity. During the fire, the surviving palace was cleared out, and the palace where precious ancient books were stored may have been foresighted, and the fire prevention measures were better than other places, so it was not damaged at all. It is a blessing in misfortune.

After three days and three nights of searching without sleep, the bodies of the emperor and empress were not found. Many people speculated that they might have perished in the sea of ​​fire without any bodies, but no one dared to speak out, they just let them escape. The small possibility is almost a conclusion, and they use various reasons to convince themselves and everyone that they are only temporarily missing, and within a few days, they will definitely come back and take charge of the overall situation again.

How many people are eager to move, greedily staring at the vacant throne, but no one dares to take that step first, the few forces are not too strong, and they can't support it alone. They all hide in the dark and wait and see, hoping that someone Can jump out first to die, be besieged, and be wiped out.In the end, I can reap the power of a fisherman and enjoy the world alone.

Butterfly Villa is obviously the biggest victim in this coup. Its power has almost disappeared. Years of planning have come to naught, and the dream of restoring the country has been shattered ahead of schedule.But they still have the possibility of a comeback, holding a sharp weapon, which is a treasure that is incomparably rich.With these, we can still make a comeback.
