The maid is the queen

Chapter 208
It was so bright that I couldn't see anything in front of my eyes.I blinked several times before I could see the scene in front of me clearly. It was the long alley outside the prison. Walking through this alley was the palace. I dragged the heavy iron shackles to the gate of the palace. Xu and the baby cried and called me: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine."

I craned my neck to look at them, it was so pitiful that my father-in-law couldn't hold it, and the people in the harem were all lined up in a long row that stretched to the end I couldn't see. I was so embarrassed, dressed in prisoner's clothes The clothes, the hair are messy, the face is dull, without the brilliance and luxury of the past, and the concubines in the second row are all as delicate and beautiful as flowers, as bright as flowers.

I passed by calmly and calmly, even though it looks desolate and vicissitudes now, I still have my own ease. Looking at my two children, I smiled with relief, they will grow up safely.Reluctantly, I turned my head and walked forward. The two children broke away from the father-in-law's hand and ran to catch up, crying along the way: "Mother Concubine."

The little father-in-law carried them back again, and several people surrounded them to prevent them from coming up again.

I walked and walked all the way, and there were all kinds of eyes on me, until the end, it was Lu Yao and the emperor.

Lu Yao seemed to be uncomfortable, don't look at the other side at first, but the emperor is cold, looking at his face, time has been very tolerant to him, and it hasn't changed a bit.

I knelt down, didn't say anything, just knelt like that, Lu Yao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you should deal with this matter. Regarding the matter of Yun Zhiqiu, I believe that people in the harem will use it as an example. In the harem, you must have a sense of proportion, and dare not do it again."

He responded softly, and Lu Yao stood up, and said with great dignity: "My sisters have also seen it. From now on, you must work hard in the harem, abide by the rules, and go back first, no matter what you do in the future. , you have to think twice."

People in the harem saluted and said goodbye one after another. Several concubines including Qiao Feng looked at me with red eyes and worried expressions on their faces, but the palace maid respectfully begged them all to leave.

All of a sudden, everyone dispersed and became silent. I raised my hand to catch the falling leaves, half yellow and half green flying down from the branch. Leaves know autumn, when autumn leaves fall, that is when I die.

With the order to kill the concubine, everyone in the harem changed expression in horror.

The man in white came stepping on the fallen leaves, with slender and graceful steps, carrying his heaviness and weakness. He looked up as if he was admiring the scenery in the forest, but there was a sigh between his brows, which was so thick.

His temples had inevitably turned gray and white, and he was much older than when he went back in March. He looked at the fallen leaves, and reached out to catch them, sighing softly.

He must be very sad, he thought he had two daughters, he was very happy, but within a year, more happiness followed by endless sadness, he looked at me, his eyes were so hurt.

Approaching with weak footsteps, he gently took away the fallen leaves from my hair, brushed my hair away with his hands, tears were already in those gentle eyes: "Zhiqiu."

"I'm sorry, Dad." I wanted to chuckle, but tears finally rolled down my face.

He squatted down, hugged me tightly in his arms, and said with a choked voice, "It's all my father's fault. I can't leave this palace with you. The saddest thing in the world is when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. You She and Mu Xue are both my daughters, I made a mistake when I was young, and God will punish me like this now."

"Daddy, I'm sorry, I'm very happy that I have you as a daddy, but I'm sorry, I can't be filial to you, and I've hurt sister Mu Xue, daddy, you have to believe me, I don't have the heart to murder Mu Xue, but sister Mu Xue is too. It's because of my business, Dad, I'm sorry." I'm really sorry, if it wasn't for me, Sister Mu Xue wouldn't be hurt like that.

He stroked my hair gently: "Don't blame yourself, dad never blamed you, dad was just sad, both of them are dad's daughters, how did it come to this point? You are kind and kind, don't It will hurt others, Zhiqiu, father should have insisted on taking you away long ago."

I didn't say anything, I felt like a father, it was so beautiful and warm.He can protect me from wind and rain, hug me like this, and comfort me. No matter how old I am, he still treats me like a child.

"Zhiqiu, what will Dad give you in exchange for you? Anything is fine, as long as you are safe."

I laughed in his arms, closed my eyes and softly called him: "Daddy."

As long as I call him that, I can be very satisfied and happy.

He held my face in his hands, sighed softly, tears rolled down his face, nodded vigorously and smiled: "Okay, okay, Zhiqiu is my best daughter."

"Well, Dad, you old man, you have to take care of yourself. If your life is not good, neither Sister Mu Xue nor I will be happy. Sister Mu Xue must be lonely alone. So, Dad, don't be too sad in the future. Things, look at the fallen leaves, and you can be happier, Daddy, don’t cry, you know, my mother said that when I was born, it was autumn, when the leaves fell from the branches, I was Zhiqiu, Daddy is in autumn, and sister Mu Xue is in winter, in these two seasons, Daddy must not be sad anymore." Autumn cools the most feelings, winter, the most cold and lonely.

"Master Mu, please get up, I will handle the matter of my harem myself."

He stood up, and I tried to smile at him: "Take care, and live well for us all."

Several father-in-laws were waiting by his side and wanted to ask him to leave. Thinking about this time, he tried his best not to make the emperor back down any more.

Does he have to kill me?I used to think that he was too ruthless to those concubines he once loved, Lin Shangyi, and Concubine Li, and now I can't escape.

He raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently, he told me that we are together, we will always be far enough to make me scream, until my white hair is loose and my teeth are loose and I can’t bite him, forever, in fact, it’s just a distance of a slap, saying Slow, we are all slowly walking the lines in the palm prints, fast, this is only one step away.Without even having time to turn around and adapt, everything changed.

Always, forever will be like this, and the two most impossible words to believe.

He was also looking at me, those beautiful eyes were no longer domineering and domineering as usual, his brows were wrinkled, his high nose was also sucking in air, and he coughed twice as if he was feeling very uncomfortable.

The melancholy that was too complicated to resolve, looked at me so seriously, and said very calmly: "Have you pleaded guilty?"

"Admit it." It has been pledged and sentenced long ago, isn't it, and now it's just waiting to be beheaded.

I looked up and looked hard at the blue sky, and the yellow and yellow leaves, bathed in golden light, so beautiful, I don't know if this is the last time I will see the scene in autumn.

He sighed: "Just one word, just one recognition?"

"Is there anything else the emperor wants to hear?"

"Whatever I want to hear, do you just say it?" There was a hint of anger in his tone.

I nodded slightly and looked at him with a smile: "Whatever the emperor wants to hear, I will say it."

"Where's Xi?" He asked me suddenly.

As soon as I asked, my tears flowed down uncontrollably. My Xi, my Xu, my baby, I can never worry about them again.

Hee, how do I know?Can I think now?I dare not even think about it.

I said, "I don't know."

"Okay, don't even think about it, are you worthy of being his mother?"

I shook my head, I don't deserve it at all, my mother is starting to embarrass him now, I didn't take care of him much when he was young, and he has to bear this burden for me when he grows up.

With a long sigh: "Forget it, for the sake of the past, don't ask these questions again, I owe Xi'er a lifetime."

He said, "If I hadn't gotten angry and snatched Xi'er away from you, would I have come to this point?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, I don't know anything." I didn't think about anything in prison, and I lived every day. I never thought about what if, because I knew that there would never be what if in life.

If it happened a long time ago, you and I would never have the chance to meet.

Why even ask?I am about to die, the sunshine in autumn is also warm and gentle, and the wind in autumn is also soft and soft.I took a deep breath of autumn: "Your Majesty, should I be sent on my way? It's so beautiful. It may be a kind of luck to die in autumn." Born in autumn, died in autumn.

But he said: "Whoever said that you are going to be executed, in your eyes, does it mean that you have to be killed? You never take what I told you to heart."

I blinked, but looked at him seriously, even if I was about to die, would he play tricks on me again?

I sighed and laughed again: "When I first met the emperor, the emperor also played with me. He had to see me in tears to make the emperor happy. But now the emperor still wants to make fun of me before I die. Don't be too serious." It's too much." I calmly faced the coming facts.

He also laughed, stood up and grabbed a hanging branch with one hand, and slid down, the leaves full of hands loosened, and fell in front of me one after another. He smiled and said: "Kill the concubine, kill the concubine, it turns out It's you who've been thinking of me doing this."

Didn't he want to do this?
Now it was me who was surprised, but everyone said that I killed his favorite sister, his favorite concubine, he would let me go, I didn't expect it, our love is so deep, so deep Knowing that he won't kill me, as early as he threw the jade and pulled his finger, I know that he has no worries in his heart.

I should never think about it, the emperor has feelings, this is a mistake, I bumped into the south wall more than once, but I don't want to always bump into it, I have already had a bloody head, and now I only have one life.

"Kill the concubine." He smiled: "You don't even bother to tell me that it's not you, and death is the only way to completely let go." He smiled, and his footsteps were a little heavy, dragging the fallen leaves all the way to the depths of the forest go.

After a while, a father-in-law came with an imperial edict.
