There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 261

Concubine Li looked around and didn't see the person she was thinking about, she closed her eyes again in a daze, and finally died without saying a word.

"Mother Concubine!" Xia Houjing's eyes were red, her throat was hoarse and she let out a low cry of mourning, and the scenes of Mother Concubine's life emerged in her mind.

When I was young, my mother and concubine had a low status. In order to protect myself, I often bowed down in front of the queen at that time, but the queen never paid attention to their mother and child, and even didn't even see each other.

It's fine if you really don't pay attention to it, but she often plays tricks secretly and wholeheartedly drives their mother and child to death.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

I don't know what method she used, how many hardships she went through, and finally saved his life.

When he grows up to be ten years old and sensible, he knows that if he wants to continue to live, he can only "pay attention to the landscape".

But he is not willing.

He is a member of the royal family, he is a man of the Great Xia, and he also wants to make a career, no matter how young he is, he will not live in vain.

It's a pity that he can't do anything. It's already the limit to sneak up in the middle of the night and dance with swords, and he dare not let anyone know.

If there is anything else, I am afraid that he will die soon. In this way, he has been focusing on landscapes until now.

Finally, when the emperor's brother ascended the throne, he can pull out his long sword openly, point the sword at the enemy, and protect the people. He can do what he really likes, and he can let the mother and concubine enjoy an honor in the harem by himself.

He can do many, many things to let her live a life to enjoy her old age.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to support but the relatives don't wait, she died.

It is a great regret in this life to pass away at the time when you are most at ease, when you should be happy with your grandchildren and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world.

Xia Houjing had never been so desperate, yes, it was despair.

He had never been so desperate when he was dependent on his mother and concubine in the deep palace, but now, he really couldn't bear this kind of pain.

He didn't shed a single tear, instead he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Sixth brother!"

Looking at the big pool of blood on the ground, Tang Wanning was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Xia Houjue supported her in time, and then told Li Dequan: "Help the sixth younger brother to the inner room, and ask the imperial physician to come here."

While his face was solemn, he still held Tang Wanning tightly in his arms.

"Yes!"

After Li Dequan led people out, Xia Houjing and Tang Wanning both knelt down in front of Concubine Li's bed, and respectfully kowtowed three times.

This is a ceremony for the juniors. Now there is no emperor, no queen, no prince, only three juniors who have lost their relatives.

After kowtowing, Xia Houjue took Tang Wanning away, leaving Xia Houjing alone in Ning'an Palace.

Come to think of it, a son who lost his mother also needs a space to be alone.

……

On the night of Concubine Li's death, Tang Wanning had a nightmare.

She dreamed that all the people around her left her one by one. One second everyone was chatting and laughing, and the next second everyone disappeared.

There are only shadows left in front of them who are reluctant to leave.

"Mother, elder brother and second brother! Third brother, where are you?" She cried heartbreakingly.

But the shadows of those relatives, just like those ghosts in Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio in the previous life, still look like relatives, but they cannot see the sun.

She stood in the courtyard corridor, just watching the people in front of her being burned by the sun one by one, and completely disappearing in front of her eyes.

"Auntie!" She rushed over, but it was all in vain.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!" It was nothing but a pounce.

She looked back and forth over and over again, and she was really the only one left in the bustling courtyard just now.

The feeling that her heart was hollowed out was really painful. She squatted on the ground for a long time, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

At this moment, a warm embrace suddenly picked her up.

"Who? Who are you?" Tang Wanning raised her eyes to take a look, but was dazzled by the bright sunlight.

"who are you?"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar ambergris rushed into his nostrils, his messy mind suddenly calmed down, and the face that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar appeared in front of him.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Tang Wanning was still in agitated mood, her chest heaved up and down, she looked around, and saw that the courtyard just now had disappeared, and in front of her was her familiar bedroom, and of course, this familiar person.

The mood suddenly became brighter, and a feeling of gratitude emerged spontaneously.

"I..." She lowered her head.

"Have a nightmare?"

"En!" She nodded, her expression was rare and pitiful and soft.

It has to be said that such situations are really rare.

Xia Houjue stroked her back with both hands, comforting her: "It's okay, dreams are always reversed, I'm right in front of you, don't be afraid!"

It turns out that the bright and arrogant woman will also show such a delicate and pitiful side. Does this mean that she has completely accepted herself?

Tang Wanning didn't know what stimulated her, so she buried her head in his arms and burst into tears.

On this day, Tang Wanning cried for a long time before she calmed down. Since then, she talked less because there was no one in the palace to talk to her.

Concubine Li's funeral was done in a decent manner. After the funeral, Xia Houjing felt depressed and often got drunk in the mansion to relieve her worries.

Xia Houjue was worried about his health, and sent him to the Tubo Ministry to support him. He refused, so he had to be sent to Jiangnan.

As a result, there would be fewer people in the capital. Tang Wanning didn't say anything, but the depression and emptiness in her heart were written all over her face.

Xia Houjue was a little guilty, so he had to take her out of the palace to visit relatives, go hunting, or visit people's sentiments.

Tang Wanning felt that she should be very happy, and she was indeed smiling, but she couldn't say how much of this smile was real or not.

I always feel empty in my heart.

Looking at the man in front of her who was holding herself in the palm of her hand, she just wanted to cry.

He is a bright pearl, a pearl that has fallen into the mud. I want to pick him up and cherish him in my arms, but I can always think of his past scenes.

She clearly knew that falling into the mud was not his fault, but she just couldn't completely forget it.

He said he forgot, but he kept thinking about it, remembering it, and caring about it all the time.

love him?Maybe love, mind?Yes, tangled?Tangled.Do you want to live like this all your life?Maybe.

How scary isn't it?
……

Ansaiya thought that her sweetheart would come back to save her, but after a lot of waiting, he still didn't come back.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because the two sides in the Tubo Ministry are about to go to war.

After more than a month of wooing, she has [-] soldiers under her command, and most of the officials who have been favored by her father Khan support her.

enough.

At the beginning of October of the second year of Qinghe, the Tubo tribe officially started the tug-of-war.

One side is the little princess of the old king, and the other side is the new king Anlukachi. The two sides are almost evenly matched.
