Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 98

The Longevity Palace is in Qianyuan, and it is the "Roubo Palace" where Concubine Miao of Qianyuan lives. This is said to be the most beautiful concubine in Qianyuan. , extremely fresh and beautiful, extremely favored by the abandoned emperor, and extravagantly built a palace for her, this concubine was not tolerated by the officials, and was called the demon concubine. After the death of the Yuan Dynasty, the demon concubine disappeared. Ordinarily this palace should also be abolished I don't want the Empress Dowager Jiang to secretly ask Guang Yuanzi, a master of geomantic omen, to look at it before entering the palace. She said that this place in the palace is the place of "Phoenix Eyes". Pointing to this place, it was changed to Longevity Palace. Because of its precious and exquisite lotus pond, no one could bear to destroy it, so it stayed.

...After the panic, it gradually became silent. The Empress Dowager Jiang lay stiff on the bed, her eyes wide open, and she couldn't stop muttering to herself.

The curtains are so heavy that not a breath of wind can penetrate. The faint candlelight stands straight on the table, with a light yellow halo, and the rest is shrouded in stagnant shadow.

Next door, in the dark room, the moonlight flickered in the clouds, shining on the transparent glass dome, colorful.

In the bright light, the jasper is dizzy, the eternal clear water is full, and the exquisite lotus pond, which is eternally delicate and colorful, suddenly separates a line strangely.

Then I saw a person like a Luoshen fairy, with fluttering silk, coming out of the water.

Black hair, purple clothes, a pair of snow-white slender hands, gracefully clasped on the abdomen, and the corners of the skirt flutter like blooming flowers.

Light clothes and belts, relaxed posture, and walk leisurely.

That expression is not like lurking out in the mysterious place of the queen mother's mysterious palace in the middle of the night, but like walking in the back garden of her own house, and occasionally seeing a delicate little yellow warbler resting on the rose, so she looks at it with a leisurely smile.

She caressed the white jade carvings one by one with her fingers, but it was like a fresh lotus leaf, cherishing it like a pair of real delicate petals.

There was a faint sneer on the corner of his lips.

His gaze swirls like water waves, looking around the palace that has not been seen for several years, remembering how he mentioned this lotus pond to Chu Feihuan on the trestle bridge back then, which led to the idea of ​​building a secret road and thus saved Chu Feihuan's life In the past, Qin Changge laughed even more strangely.

A drink and a peck, could it be that it was decided before... Fengmu... Jiang Wanyi, you think so beautifully... Do you know that the second-rate warlock Guang Yuanzi only saw the beautiful terrain of this place, but failed to see it? There is no mystery in this side of the lotus pond.

This lotus pond, made entirely of cold and cold jade, is built in the center of the phoenix's eye, inserted into the eye like a stone like a sharp weapon.

What is destroyed is not only the prosperity of the master who lives here?There is even a vast world, Jiangshan Sheji.

Demon concubine Yin Miaochang, why did you come here?Why did you go?Are you a seducer and concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, or a sad woman with hatred in her heart?
You come, achieve the love of the last emperor, and then destroy his country.

It's ridiculous that people in the world are stupid, blinded by a single leaf, Ren Shi's pen is like a knife, Ling Chi, a weak woman who endures humiliation with grief, abandons everything to serve the enemy with her own body, and does not hesitate to use her own reputation as a secret history of blood and tears.

But it doesn't matter, you have achieved your goal, come and go, no worries, life and death, honor and disgrace, have long been ignored for a woman like you.

Qin Changge smiled and stroked the jade lotus.

Back then, she discovered the mystery here, and even discovered that there is a tunnel under the lotus pond that leads directly to the outside of the palace, so she took advantage of the opportunity of building the palace to make some changes, and made some manipulations on the glazed transparent dome. It will no longer be the dragon veins of Xiliang, but the owner of the palace itself.

Tonight, she came from a secret way, it is a good time, she wants to personally participate in a good scene.

She strolled across the lotus pond with a smile, her long skirt dragging like a dream, and quietly walked into the inner hall of Empress Dowager Jiang, with an elegant posture, she sat firmly behind the piano table covered by the veil.

The mind of Empress Dowager Jiang is wandering at the junction of reality and the past.

It was vaguely that night, with figures in the firelight... Zhaowei was still dancing wildly, counting the number of people with her fingers strangely, standing in the corridor far away, watching her niece's madness from afar, under the golden silk phoenix embroidered wide sleeves Fingers twisted into a ball.

Those fingers... were cold.

Because I stood in the wind for too long.

how long?
Before the Changle Palace was on fire.

That night, she didn't dare to go to bed early because she had accumulated food in the afternoon, and she also remembered whether the famous epiphyllum, which was carefully cultivated in the greenhouse in the imperial garden, had bloomed or not, so she left the palace.

When leaving the palace, Madam He also said, the master is in a good mood tonight, so let's go out so late, and put on a big cloak.

At that time, when she looked at the time, she still frowned, and said, it's the time for the guards to change defense, what a coincidence.

But really remember the epiphyllum, or go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw that the surroundings of the Longevity Palace were quiet and orderly, while the Changle Palace not far away was changing defenses.

She snorted, but didn't think much, and went to the imperial garden.

She went to see the flowers, and the flowers bloomed extremely beautifully. The beautiful colors seemed to be splashed out under the moon at any time. In a hidden place in the corridor, two black shadows were seen.

Mother He was so frightened that she wanted to yell, but she covered her mouth. She looked around calmly, and found that the two were Chen'er and the guard leader Dong Chengjia.

I vaguely saw Dong Chengjia pointing to Changle Palace, and Chen'er nodded.

Dong Chengjia seemed to say something again, Chen'er thought about it, but shook his head.

They leaned towards the corner together, with their backs to her, and they couldn't see behind them, not far away, but Empress Dowager Jiang noticed a thin figure moving by. Her eyesight was poor, so she couldn't tell who it was, only thought it was a man.

The black shadow was too far away, Dong Chengjia seemed a little nervous, but Chen'er didn't have martial arts, so they didn't realize it.

The Empress Dowager Jiang held her breath, watching Dong Chengjia greet Chen'er and then leave. Chen'er stood alone in the darkness, raised her head to the sky, seemed to be thinking silently, and said for a while, "Come out."

She was startled, but immediately pushed Nanny He out.

Nanny He knelt down in front of Chen'er to apologize, but Chen'er didn't say anything, just said: "You know what to do, go."

Mother He didn't dare to look at her in the shadow, and ran away scrambling, she was relieved, thinking that it was all right, but Chen'er turned around, looked directly into the shadow, and said softly: "Mother, please show up .”

Surprised and helpless, she had no choice but to walk out, she didn't know why she exposed herself, Chen'er just smiled faintly, and pointed to her sleeve.

Only then did she realize that it was the strong-scented epiphyllum in her sleeve that had betrayed her. When Nanny He showed up, there was no fragrance of epiphyllum on her body, and how dare He Nanny, as her confidant in the palace, leave her in the middle of the night? Wandering alone?
Chen'er has always been a careful and intelligent child, it is very difficult to hide it from him.

She looked at Chen'er with a calm smile, then looked at Changle Palace, and said approvingly: "My good boy, I have not lost my heart. I have told you so many times, but you always don't answer. Don't make a sound, just do it."

"What did you do?" Unexpectedly, Chen'er suddenly asked back, his elegant face was paler and paler by the moonlight, like an ink painting that has lost its charm, his eyes are faint and far away, as if staring at Changle Palace , and didn't seem to see anything.

Is he trying to get rid of it?She smiled understandingly and nodded, "Yes, you didn't do anything."

She slowly approached his side, and in the strong fragrance of epiphyllum, she said softly: "Chen'er, your two elder brothers have already gone, and you are the only one who can take pity on the queen mother. You know that the emperor and the queen mother are not caring." , It’s a pity that your body is weak, otherwise...in fact, it’s okay to be weak, the former Emperor Yuan Jing was known as the Lord of the Kingdom, didn’t he also suffer from chronic illnesses since childhood?”

For the latter words, she smiled ambiguously, and did not continue. Chen'er Bingxue is smart, so why do I need to finish the sentence?

Unexpectedly, the elegant young man looked back suddenly, his eyes flew over like a sharp sword, and cut her face like a knife. In a trance, she thought it was Xiao Jue in front of her, and she took a step back in fright. Only then did she think of the young man in front of her. It is not his own biological son, but he and Xiao Jue have always been close... He secretly hated if he saw Xiao Chen make a move tonight, he was so happy that he fainted, and he said something he shouldn't have said.

However, Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze in an instant, and returned to his usual weak appearance, as if the cold young man just now was not himself at all. Rest early."

When he said this, he had a strange expression, his eyes seemed happy, sad, resentful, desolate, helpless, hesitant, and resolute. All kinds of complicated emotions were entangled like a mess, which made her heart shrink and twist tightly like a rope. Tight, being forced by the stern and oppressive atmosphere to instinctively want to escape.

She forced a smile and said: "Yes, the queen mother is tired, the future is yours..."

She walked out for a long time that night, when she looked back, she still saw Xiao Chen standing in a daze facing the wall, his back was as lonely as a moon that would never be round.

She didn't sleep that night.

She is waiting, and doing some preparations.

Those preparations were actually made a long time ago. What she wanted to do was almost the same as what happened that night, except that someone else did it for her first.

She really waited until Changle became popular.

When the fire broke out, she, who had been awake and waiting, immediately summoned the palace people and guards outside the palace to fight the fire, and asked them to carry water from the well of Longevity Palace. In the small tool room she added near the Longevity Palace, all the buckets and faucets were oiled.

The fire was so big that night, no one could rush in and burn down the magnificent Changle Palace abruptly.

Burn it, burn it, burn it all, burn everything you want to get in, get out, leave traces...

Empress Dowager Jiang giggled.

It burns... really good.

This woman who killed the entire Jiang family and her own two sons, turned into ashes in such a way, really did her a favor...

She was also laughing while she was asleep, and slowly opened her cloudy eyes...

Pearls hang down from the top of the shark gauze tent, crystal clear like the bright eyes of a beautiful woman.

like her eyes.
