After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 6 Princess Pingliu (2)
"Linlang is my junior sister. We are nothing more than chess pieces. Our life and death are in the hands of the chess players. Our lives are the most worthless in the world. Linlang is special because she entered Pingyi Palace, unfortunately the young prince fell in love with her. "

Rong Yu secretly thought about the word "unfortunate". In terms of status, Lin Lang is just a luthier on the surface, but in reality she is just a dead man under the command of a high-ranking official. How can she be so unfortunate if she can reach the position of princess in one step?Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Then, who is your master?"

The strange man seemed to have been contemplating for a long time before slowly answering her: "At that time he was King Ning, but now he is the Son of Heaven."

Rong Yu's body trembled, so it turns out that Princess Pingliu and Xin Yu were in love first?He was willing to send his beloved woman into the arms of another man!She vaguely recalled that in the legend, there was a yarn-washing girl named Yiguang. She met the person she loved by the Ruoye River, but this man gave her to the monarch of the enemy country with his own hands. In the name of the country and the nation—— It turned out that the shame of a country and nation had to be borne by such a weak woman—it turned out that his ambition and desire had to be fulfilled by his favorite woman with his body.Rong Yu curled up, she felt cold, but she didn't faint, her tough nerves supported her, "Then, who killed her?" She faintly guessed the answer, but still had the last ray of hope, No matter how many people told her that Xin Yu killed Lin Lang, as long as one person said no, she would believe it.

The weird person's body trembled, "Who killed her?" There were many doubts and uncertainties in his tone, and then he froze, standing in the moonlight, like a stone sculpture eroded by wind and sand.

"Isn't it the emperor's hand?" Rong Yu waited for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back, he asked aloud.

"Emperor? You mean King Ning? He? Why would he kill her? No, it won't be him." The strange man's tone was full of doubts at first, but then he said "it won't be him" with absolute certainty.

"Why not him?"

"If it's him, the murderer he's been chasing for so many years...could it be himself? No, of course not!" The strange man hurriedly repeated the word "no", as if trying to convince her, but more like To convince yourself.

"You mean, for so many years, the emperor has been investigating the cause of Princess Pingliu's death?" Rong Yu asked calmly.

The strange man quickly retreated three feet, and asked in surprise, "You...how did you know? No, it wasn't him, definitely not him!" He said "it wasn't him" and quickly turned around and rushed out, disappearing in a moment , Rong Yu was lying on the bed alone, empty, as if the whole palace was echoing the words of that strange man: "No, definitely not him!"

Or it really wasn't him.Rong Yu let out a long breath, and looked at the second watch, it was not yet the second watch.

The news of Rong Yu's pregnancy spread throughout the harem in just a few days, and everyone who heard it was amazed, there were so many concubines living in Cuihu, and Rong Yu was the first one who was able to conceive a child.Everyone kept silent, but a thought came to mind: Could it be that the emperor was willing to send the child to Guanju Palace?After thinking about it for a lifetime, the posture is naturally different. The people in Cuihu Juli come and go, and they are very attentive.

Zhihua trembled, fearing that something wrong would be sent out by Rong Yu, Zhiqi just sneered when he saw it.

The day was peaceful and bright, no one came to visit, it was rare to be clean, Rong Yu changed into a loose shirt and asked Zhiqi to help her to the Wuxin Pavilion.The lotus in Hanyan Lake has big and small buds, lining the deep blue lotus leaves, it is really cute.Rong Yu watched from the fence, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Zhiqi, why is this pavilion called Wuxin Pavilion?"

Zhiqi, who was standing silently by the side, changed his expression, and replied: "It was named by the emperor, as for why, Zhiqi doesn't know."

Rong Yu glanced at her lazily, and said: "Fucking girl, you have to lie in front of me, if you really don't know, why do you look so ugly?"

Zhiqi subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his face, his eyes drooped, he was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty really wants to know?"

Rong Yu crushed the flower in his palm and threw it into the lake. A group of big-tailed red fish swam over, spitting out strings of water bubbles, and Rong Yu smiled sullenly, "What do you think?" Rong Yu said this The tone and intonation of the words were the same as usual, but for some reason, Zhiqi suddenly felt gloomy looking at the master's back, she took a breath, and said slowly: "Nine years ago, I lived in Cuihu Lake. It's Concubine Yu who lives there."

"Concubine Yu in small characters, Wanyi, the daughter of Yu Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been famous since she was a child. Not to mention a concubine, even the queen gave her three points when she saw her. She was proud of her youth, so she was inevitably spoiled, and she offended others without knowing it. I don’t know why I vented my anger on the hibiscus forest in Cuihuju that day. It was so white that it was dazzling, and asked the attendants to destroy the forest. The servants were old people in the palace, and they all knew that the forest was the queen's favorite thing. How dare they act rashly, Yu Concubine became more and more annoyed, and actually cut down the forest by herself. Seven seven eight eight, when the servants saw something bad, they hurriedly informed the emperor secretly, and the emperor didn't change his face when he heard about it, but since that day he has never lived in Cuihu."

"and after?"

"Later?" Zhiqi sneered, "How come there will be a later! The palace is a place where walls collapse and everyone pushes it, not to mention Concubine Yu is usually defiant, and if people don't talk about it, how can I not hate it in my heart. Someone told me In front of the empress, she said that Concubine Yu had a grudge against the emperor and the empress, and practiced witchcraft in private. The empress came to investigate in person, and she found a puppet that wrote the emperor's birthday in Cuihuju. The evidence is so strong that the empress ordered her eyes to be gouged out and sent to Guanju Palace. According to those who were present at the time, Concubine Yu was bloodstained and kept yelling and scolding.

Rong Yu heard Zhiqi's vivid description, but felt the bloody smell rushing up from the lake of cold smoke, her stomach churned, and her knuckles holding the railing turned white. She barely held back the rushing fishy thing, and asked: " How does the emperor hear?"

Zhiqi said: "Someone couldn't stand it anymore and secretly notified the emperor, the emperor came over immediately, saw the scene, but didn't say a word, Yu Yu was desperate and cursed endlessly."

"What did she scold?"

"She said," Zhiqi's speech slowed down, and he almost stuttered every word, "A tree decays with a heart, and the sky never grows old without a heart, but what do people do if they have a heart? Your Majesty, answer me, answer me!" The last few The words were almost shouted out, grief, despair, and unspeakable endless resentment.Surprised, Rong Yu turned his head to look at her, Zhiqi knew he was losing his composure, and bowed his head in silence.The two looked at each other for a long while, Rong Yu said: "The empress is graceful and magnanimous, such behavior is not like what the empress usually does, could it be spreading rumors?"

Zhiqi turned his face away and replied, "Definitely not."

Hearing what she said so decisively, Rong Yu also believed it seventy percent, and thought to himself: The empress has never asked about the matter of Cuihuju. The empress is not a person who cherishes people and things, but she will not kill people for mere hibiscus trees, and The method is so cruel, not to mention that there is Xin Yu present, even if the empress hates it to the extreme, it is absolutely impossible not to save some face for the emperor, unless...unless... this matter is simply ordered by the emperor, and the empress is only one Executor.

As soon as this thought came out, sweat dripped down Rong Yu's forehead. She wanted to find evidence to refute this idea, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the only way to explain why the empress would do such unreasonable things, and Concubine Yu The last cursing, listen to the meaning, the one who cursed was not the queen, but Xin Yu—a tree decays with a heart, the sky does not grow old, and a person has a heart... Concubine Yu has a heart, she is emotional for Xin Yu, so it hurts, it hurts, so... Regardless of everything, Xin Yu, he... has long since lost his mind.

Wuxin Pavilion.Rong Yu heaved a long sigh, in this palace, probably only Wu Xin can survive.

Zhiqi continued: "After Concubine Yu died, Cuihu Residence was vacant for half a year. People in Cuihu Residence said that as soon as it got dark, you could see Concubine Yu's ghost wandering in Cuihu Residence. She lost her eyes. There were only two black holes left on his face, and he asked everyone he met: Where is my heart? Where is my heart? The person who made the informant was frightened to death within a month. Although there are still people guarding Cuihuju, there is no People dare to walk alone at night, only the emperor..."

"How about the emperor?"

"Only the emperor still stays at Cuihu Residence every night. The Holy Son of Heaven will be fine with the protection of all gods... It has been a long time, and gradually no one mentions it."

"Such things, indeed... I shouldn't ask about it." Seeing Zhiqi's right hand clenched tightly, Rong Yu asked, "What are you holding?" Zhiqi put his hand in front of Rong Yu, opened it, and the palm There are three red beans in it, bright red like blood, Rong Yu wondered: "What is this?"

"Pingjun Wang said that this object can ward off evil spirits and calm the mind. The empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Wearing this object can keep you safe."

"You..." The flash of light in Rong Yu's eyes quickly sank to a place where no one could see.She said: "I know, I have my own measure."

"Niangniang, Niangniang—" Zhihua hurried over, Zhiqi scolded: "What's the matter of panic, be careful to frighten Niangniang!"

Zhihua fell to his knees in panic, and said, "Zhihua doesn't dare—— Your Majesty, it's the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is here!"

Looking up, I saw the empress dowager dressed in deep purple walking over surrounded by a group of people. Rong Yu didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly adjusted his clothes and went forward to salute. body."

The Empress Dowager took Rong Yu's hand into the inner hall, divided the guest of honor and sat down, the Empress Dowager said that the Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to fresh fruits, and the imperial doctor said that it was a good medicine for calming the nerves and repairing the fetus, and immediately thought of Rong Yu, the Empress Dowager said with a smile: " This child is pure and well-behaved, no wonder the emperor loves her."

Rong Yu only lowered her eyebrows and smiled, with a quiet and docile look, she could feel the Queen Mother's eyes lingering on her face all the time, making her confused and uneasy.She originally thought that the queen mother must have some intentions when she came here, maybe it was related to the poison she was poisoned last time, but the queen mother just chatted with her, told her some precautions during pregnancy, and ordered Zhiqi Zhihua to be careful, and finally got up and said : "Take care of me well, I will come to see you when I have free time."

Seeing the Queen Mother turned around to leave, Rong Yu hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern, Queen Mother...do you have any other orders?" While speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the Queen Mother, the stubbornness in her natural nature emerged from her eyes , the queen mother was slightly stunned, with a gentle look in her eyes, and said: "There is nothing else, you take good care of it, don't worry about it, let the emperor worry."

Rong Yu was speechless and had no choice but to salute: "Greetings, Queen Mother."

Thinking of the person in Qian'an Palace who stayed up all night to review the memorials, alone and lonely, Rong Yu suddenly remembered, did he also sit like this in Cuihu Residence during the six months after Yu Yu's death, with empty space around him? no one?
