Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 158 When a person is dead, a few cuts won't hurt

That night, while Zhou Wei was eating dinner, the tears disappeared like a flash in the pan.

After Su Yuan cleaned up everything, he said slowly, "Ma'am, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

Zhou Wei pursed her lips and said, "I want to be quiet."

Su Yuan stood at the bottom of the corridor, some distance away from Zhou Yao, so he couldn't clearly see Zhou Yao's emotions at this moment.

Zhou Wei looked at the sky, there were only stars in twos and threes in the dark night sky, she was not a person who habitually recalled the past, but some things, like dust, would float up when the wind blows and come to her eyes.

The day he came, he was very thin and very small, and what she remembered most were those eyes, which were indescribably dim, and some were as sharp as the eyes of a wolf.

"Ajin, from now on, he will be your brother."

When my father came back from the expedition, he brought back a boy like this. He stood beside his father, his eyes not a little bit confused, and his mother took her hand and walked out. She faintly felt the trembling of her mother's fingers .

At that time, his mother thought he was his father's illegitimate son.

Actually, he is not.

She tilted her head, looked at the boy who was about to live with her under the same roof, frowned slightly, and looked at her father's loving eyes. She felt in a daze as if her things had been robbed, and ran away unhappy up.

Later, when her father came to coax her, he told her about his life experience, saying that both his parents died and he was homeless. She often thought about wanting an older brother, so she brought him back to be with her.

That's right, when the mother gave birth to her, she had a dystocia, and she was the only child in the Zhou family, so even if the mother misunderstood the father at that time, she still accepted the boy without saying a word.

It's because she feels guilty.

She felt sorry for his life experience, so she was very concerned about his affairs. Her father taught them to practice martial arts together, practice sword together, go out together, and return together.

It's just that she never called him brother since she was a child.

And he habitually called her Ajin, and he never called her sister.

In fact, in their hearts, since they were young, they never regarded each other as their brothers and sisters.

When they grew up, they should all get married. His father arranged for him a few girls, but he never liked them. His mother also found a few boys for her. She obeyed her parents' orders, but she couldn't like it.

That evening, she said: "Miss Li's family is not bad, you should have reached the age of marriage, and I think it's pretty good."

His eyes were indifferent, and he asked back: "The young master of the Liu family is also good, capable of literature and martial arts, and it's time for a girl to get married when she reaches your age."

When she heard him say that, she felt a little annoyed in her heart, and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."

"Ajin, Miss Li's family is good, I'll give my father a reply after thinking about it."

That night, when the setting sun shone on them, she never thought that he would say such a word to her. She always thought that he would look down on so many women, and Miss Li was just a docile and ordinary person. It's just a girl, so she won't be able to catch his eyes.

At that moment, her eyes were a little astonished: "Do you really like Miss Li's family?"

He smiled without saying a word, turned around and left slowly, the snow-white back hurt her heart bit by bit.

Zhou Wei can still remember how she felt at that time.

She didn't fall asleep all night, and woke up just after dawn. When she woke up, he and her father had already practiced swords in the school grounds. She took the sword and went to the school grounds with dark circles under her eyes.

"Good morning, Father!" Zhou Wei looked at him without saying a word, the three of them practiced sword together every morning, never less.

Later, the father left because of something, and there were only the two of them left.

Zhou Wei looked at him, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, and asked slowly, "Yun Xiao, do you really like Miss Li's family?"

He just said coldly: "Concentrate on practicing swords."

Zhou Wei didn't know where the anger came from, when she practiced swords, she always clicked and stopped, but who would have thought that she would suddenly get angry and strike at Yun Xiao, the tip of the sword suddenly entered his body, very shallow , but there is still blood flowing out slowly.

At that time, she really scared her, she thought he was hiding, because all along, his kung fu was superior to hers, as long as he wanted to hide, he would be able to dodge.

But that time, he didn't hide, just looked at her quietly and asked, "Do you care about this?"

Zhou Wei threw the sword, and said flatly: "Who said I care."

Zhou Wei is sitting there quietly now, and those past events that have already been stained with dust come to mind. She was still there at that time, but she dared not admit it. To such a person.

After she sat in the courtyard for a long time, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and she suddenly felt very cold, so she got up and walked into the house.

There was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, too many things were the same, only when she lost, would she feel reluctant, would she understand that she cared a lot.

She didn't know if Donghe regretted it after Hualou's death, but after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, Donghe no longer had the smile on his face that he was with Shen Hualou.

After going back that night, Shen Qingqiang didn't fall asleep. She was always thinking about what Zhou Wei said about Dong He's love for Shen Hualou, so she couldn't sleep because she was so upset.

It's just that when she thought of the last moment, something came to her mind in a trance, why did she go to find Zhou Wei?In the end, when she came back, she was led by Zhou Wei for so long.

She got up suddenly and wanted to go out, but after a while, she calmed down slowly, Qianji and Zhou Wei formed a line, as long as Sanmei and Jianqiu succeeded in the city, then Zhou Wei's place would appear If she is much weaker, then she may be easier to handle.

It's just that there has been no letter from anyone at home, which made her a little uneasy. She can still go out of the palace now. After Shen Qingqiang quickly changed her clothes, she took the token and left the palace.

When returning to Shen's residence, as soon as Shen Dong saw that it was Shen Qingqiang, he exclaimed and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Shen Qingqiang looked at Shen Dong and said softly, "Does Third Sister have a letter?"

"Not yet, what's the matter?" Shen Dong asked.

"It's been so many days. If Sanmei succeeds, there should be a letter. Why there is no news for so long." Shen Qingqiang said anxiously.

Shen Dong frowned slightly, and said with a long sigh: "You shouldn't have let your sister go to that place, now she can't be contacted at all, and she can't be found."

"If you don't let her go, who else can I let go!" Shen Qingqiang walked into the room in a fit of anger, and Shen Zixuan watched her enter the room and said slowly: "Second sister, don't worry, the third sister should It'll be fine."

Shen Qingqiang looked at Shen Zixuan's appearance, and frowned slightly, whether Shen Lianyi would be okay, as long as she knew what kind of situation Concubine Hui was in the city.

But Shen Dong has not received any news so far.

Shen Lianyi and Jianqiu, who were still in the city at this moment, were locked in a dark room by the words.

It wasn't until late at night that the painting building didn't go to bed before I vaguely remembered that these two people were still locked up in the small black room.

Su Zhi and Donghua were playing chess, and the painting building had nothing to do, so people brought Shen Lianyi and Jianqiu to the backyard.

When Hualou walked over slowly, the two were kneeling on the ground.

She walked over slowly, Ah Jiu and Ru Yang stood in the distance without following.

When Shen Lianyi saw the painting building, her eyes were fierce, but at this moment she was still eloquent.

"I advise you to let me go, if I die, you will not feel better!"

Hua Lou shrugged slightly, showing a look of fear that I was afraid of: "Tell me first, how can I not feel better, and then I will consider whether to let you go or not!"

"My sister won't let you go!" After Shen Lianyi said this, Hualou couldn't help laughing.

"Your sister, Shen Qingqiang or Shen Zixuan? The emperor even said he doesn't know you anymore, who is your sister, how do I know?" After Hualou finished speaking, Su Zhi asked someone to send a chair to Hualou, and Hualou slowly moved sat down in front of them.

Hualou looked at Jianqiu and Shen Lianyi, and said slowly: "I'm sitting here now, not to ask you who is the chief envoy and why you did this, I just want to chat with Miss Shen San and compare us I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much."

Jian Qiu looked up at the painting building, if it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have been sent to the clothing bureau by Shen Qingqiang, she wouldn't have suffered so much, and she wouldn't be what she is today.

But at this moment, when she said a word of empress to spare her life, Hualou slightly curled her lips, but her eyes were cold.

"Forgive me? Jianqiu, do you think I will spare you?" Hualou looked at her and said the words evilly, Jianqiu's eyes were filled with dead silence, Hualou paused, and said: "But if you If you want to survive, there is a way to make up for your mistakes, let me think about it before telling you, now I want to have a good chat with Miss Shen Jiasan."

They took Jianqiu down, leaving only Shen Lianyi tied up and kneeling there, Hualou looked at her and said with a smile: "Jianqiu has a chance to survive, but you don't , so don’t get delusional.”

Shen Lianyi looked at the painting building, and she felt that there was something wrong with the look in her eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Who the hell are you?"

"Miss San, your question is very funny. I only asked who I am at this time. I can tell you clearly that it is already too late."

Shen Lianyi looked at this face, she didn't understand why there were two similar faces in the world, and they had nothing to do with each other.

"What is the relationship between you and Shen Hualou?" Shen Lianyi looked at the painting building and asked this sentence coldly.

Hualou looked at her. Is it a young and inexperienced girl, or she is too confident and is not afraid until now. Does she think that her sister who is the queen will come to save her, or is she sure that Hualou is not Dare to kill her?

Whenever Hua Lou wanted to be cruel, she would feel like a sister in a trance, but none of them seemed to regard her as a sister.

Therefore, there is no need for her to feel unbearable.

"Why do you ask that? Didn't it mean that there is no Shen Hualou in the Shen family, only Shen Qingqiang? Then you can ask Shen Qingqiang, but tonight I really want to have a good chat with you about Shen Hualou. "

Shen Lianyi looked at her cold and determined eyes, thinking slightly in her heart.

"Shen Lianyi, can I ask if you knew when Shen Hualou died?" Hualou's red lips opened and closed, like a command to kill him, which was particularly frightening under the dim light.

Shen Lianyi looked at her fixedly, now that Shen Hualou has come to life, so what if there are many things to say?
"When the emperor was about to ascend the throne, he had already told his father that he would make the second sister the empress." Shen Lianyi said slowly, Hualou frowned slightly.

"How do you say it?" Hualou asked.

"Did Shen Hualou think she was very smart? When the first emperor died, he had already given the emperor a secret decree to kill Shen Hualou. What the emperor did in the end was just to follow the emperor's decree, but she never died. I don't know the truth yet." Shen Lianyi said it slowly, and Hualou pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something, but at that time, she helped Donghe establish his own power in the court, so it was inevitable for the late emperor to worry Well, she didn't just know about the thinness of the royal family now, but the family relationship is also so thin and cold, which makes people feel a little desperate.

"And then? The emperor followed the imperial edict of the first emperor, so what about you as family members? Just watch and let her die?" Hualou asked coldly.

Shen Lianyi looked up at the painting building, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Otherwise, what can I do? Is it really not worth it to ruin everything in the Shen family for a bitch! But without her, my second sister would be the princess herself, In the future, she will be the queen of Xiliang, and she will not be the seat of Shen Hualou, of course she will return it." She said it as a matter of course, and Hualou just listened quietly.

"Shen Lianyi, just now I thought that Jianqiu still had a chance to survive, but now you say that and you have nothing, because I suddenly don't want you to die, if you die, you won't see Shen The final fate of the family, I just want you all to watch, what the Shen family turned into in the end! Also, you should also see clearly the knife marks that your second sister made on Shen Hualou's face? You You will have the same complexion, exactly the same!" After Hualou finished speaking coldly, Shen Lianyi covered her face and screamed.

"Ru Yang, bring me the things." After Hua Lou finished speaking, Ru Yang took the knife over. The blade was so sharp that it seemed that it would leave a bloodstain wherever it touched!
"What are you going to do?" Shen Lianyi looked at the painting building in horror and asked.

Hualou raised the knife in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "What do you think I want to do?"

"Qianji, you bitch, if you dare to ruin my face, you will definitely be quartered!" Shen Lianyi roared in horror and fear as she looked at the painting building.

Hua Lou drew on her face, her hands trembling slightly, but after a while, Hua Lou asked slowly: "Do you know who made the knife marks on her face? If you say so, if there is an injustice and a debt, then I will consider whether to scratch your face!"

"Who the hell are you? Shen Hualou is back and will compete with you for favor in the future, but you come to trouble us, aren't you afraid that the emperor will not want you in the future?" Shen Lianyi's knife in the painting building is about to go down When he said such a sentence, Hualou's smile became brighter and brighter.

"Whether the emperor wants me or not, it has nothing to do with you? What you should worry about is your queen sister. No matter what, I brought Shen Hualou into the palace. Haven't you heard? I was in front of the emperor that day. I took off her clothes in front of me, and the emperor never said anything wrong with me!"

After Hualou finished speaking with a smile, Shen Lianyi gradually felt fear in his eyes.

"But I have nothing against you! Why are you doing this?"

"Miss Shen, I have no grudges against you, why did you poison me with medicine?" Hua Lou looked at her with an innocent face, her eyes slightly dodged: "Madam, I was wrong, please You adults do not remember villains, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? You tell me who made the knife marks on Shen Hualou's face first, then I'll forgive you!" Hualou said and slowly handed the knife to Ru Yang. She looked at Hualou's hands. knife, so he said slowly: "Why did you help her?"

"I didn't want to help her, I just wanted to know."

"After she was poisoned to death, those dead servants who had cramp and stripped their bones didn't do their job well. They thought that if they did that to the dead, they would become evil spirits to haunt them, so they dragged her away and threw her away. The knife on her face The mark was made by the elder sister and the second sister!" After Shen Lianyi finished speaking, Ru Yang's complexion was pale, as all sisters would be like this, there is nothing in this world that can be relied on.

Hua Lou's face was gloomy and cold: "You didn't participate?"

"I, I." Shen Lianyi stammered a few words before she could say anything, Hualou's eyes were ruthless: "Is there you in the end?"

"I only made one cut!" After Shen Lianyi finished speaking, her gaze at Hualou became colder and her face became more and more ugly, and Shen Sheng continued: "At that time, she was already dead, so she won't feel any pain. !"

At that moment, Hualou was burning with anger, his blood seemed to burst through his brain, and he was dizzy all of a sudden and almost fell down. Ru Yang rushed over and hurriedly supported her, but when he supported her, his body collapsed. Almost exhausted, Ah Jiu saw Ru Yang struggling to support her, so she hurried over to help her.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Hualou's face was pale, and after a long time, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Ah Jiu, and said softly, "I'm fine."

For a moment, Ru Yang didn't know what Hua Lou was thinking of to have such a reaction, but what Shen Lianyi said just now made Ru Yang feel shocked. Since she is already dead, she won't die after she dies. I feel pain, so why is it so cruel to use a knife on a dead person to make her look like that?
Enemies are fine, they are still sisters.

After a long time, Hualou's complexion hadn't recovered yet, she slowly supported Ru Yang's hand and stood up straight, her eyes were full of heartache, Ah Jiu's heart twitched slightly, she knew Hualou heard this What kind of despair would the words be.

"Sister, it's okay, it's all over."

"Yes, it's okay!" But after these words, Hualou slapped her away. Her slap exhausted her rights. After Shen Lianyi was slapped, all her teeth were knocked out. One, blood trickled slowly from the corner of his mouth.

"You don't let her die, Shen Lianyi, how much do you hate her!" Hualou's voice was harsh, and when Shen Lianyi was beaten and fell to the ground, she looked up at the painting building, drawing Lou's expression was particularly frightening.

With a short stride, Hua Lou squatted in front of her and pinched her jaw: "Why? Can't figure it out? Shen Lianyi, dead people don't feel pain, but are the knife marks on their faces nice? You hold them Won't your hands tremble when the knife cuts her face and makes a sizzling sound? Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Lianyi didn't know what stimulated the painting building in front of her, but she just stared fiercely at the painting building.

Hualou listened to her saying that the scars on her face were drawn by the three of them, and the anger in her heart was not knowing where to send it!

She snatched the knife from Ru Yang's hand, and slashed straight at Shen Lianyi's face. After she slashed down, her body was trembling, and Shen Lianyi fell into madness because of the pain, screaming and crying. with.

After Hualou walked over with the bloody knife, his hands trembled and he threw the knife on the ground. Ah Jiu picked up the knife from behind. If Shen Lianyi hadn't said that the scars on her face were They rowed, if Shen Lianyi didn't say that she was dead, she wouldn't feel pain, and she wouldn't have so much anger in her heart.

The Shen Hualou she knew was not that cruel.

Ah Jiu looked at the blood on the knife, and at the trembling figure walking out of the painting building. When she reached the corner, she leaned against the wall.

After Donghua and the others heard the heart-piercing screams, they hurriedly dropped the chess pieces and ran out. When they came out, they saw the painting building leaning on the wall. Her face was pale.

Donghua strode over, pulled her over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hualou looked up at Donghua, with tears in his eyes: "Donghua, tell me, will it hurt if you cut a few times on the face after death?"

Donghua frowned, and gently hugged her into his arms: "Fool, why doesn't it hurt?"

After Hualou heard Donghua's words, tears rolled down from his eyes in an instant: "Rianyi said that when a person is dead, a few cuts will not hurt."

Donghua hugged her, his whole face was cold, but he still said softly: "Then you should stab her a few times while she is still alive, let her feel the pain, or she will die Wouldn't it be bad for her when she doesn't feel the pain after rowing after you!"

Ah Jiu and the others followed, frowning slightly when listening to Donghua's gentle talk about bloodthirsty.

Hualou didn't speak, Donghua saw that her legs were weak, frowned slightly, bent over and hugged her: "You are really not as good as before, I remember the [-] kinds of torture in the dark prison. It was you who researched it, and now your legs are weak."

Donghua hugged her, talking while walking, and Hualou stretched out his hand to hook her neck.

Su Zhi looked at them, Donghua nodded towards him and entered the room, Su Zhi stopped Ru Yang and asked what happened, Ru Yang told Su Zhi what Shen Lianyi said, after listening Su Zhi also didn't understand, what was the relationship between Shen Hualou and Concubine Hui?It seems that it is not because of the poisoning, but also some unknown old grievances.

After Donghua entered the room with the painting building in his arms, he put her on the bed. There was some blood on her hands, and Donghua asked Ru Yang to bring in water to wash her.

She said that she hadn't washed her feet yet, so Ru Yang went out to fetch water again.

Sitting on the bed, after bringing it in, Ru Yang wanted to help the painting building, but was picked up by Donghua: "It's late at night, you all go back to your room to rest, I'll do it here.

After Donghua passed by, when Ru Yang was about to go out, she looked back and saw Donghua squatting in front of the bed, taking off Hualou's boots, and Hualou hurriedly said: "I will do it myself."

"Don't move." After Donghua's words, one of Hualou's boots had already been taken off. After all, Donghua doted on her too much. How could people in this world believe that the lofty and mighty Prince An would squat on the ground one day? Like washing a woman's feet like something.

Ru Yang felt startled, and the movement of closing the door was much slower.

Hualou looked at Donghua, his eyes were lowered, and his movements were extremely skillful, as if he had practiced thousands of times.

After Hualou's boots and socks were taken off, when his hands touched her feet, she shrank back in fright.

Donghua looked up at her, and grabbed her feet: "Don't you want to wash your feet? What are you shrinking from? I'm afraid that this king will eat you?"

Hualou curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

". Itch." Hualou always has a short memory. The last time she said itchy, Donghua asked her a word in a rascally manner. After saying it, her face turned red. Donghua actually understood it in his heart, but But he deliberately wanted to tease her, so he said: "What are you thinking, you are so red?"

Hualou blinked: "Is there? It's probably because the weather is too hot."

"Shen Hualou, do you think others will believe what you said? It will be hot in March?" After Donghua finished speaking, Hualou looked at him and gave her a glare: "There is no one else here, do you believe it or not. "

When she was talking, her feet were still curled up on the bed, Donghua slowly reached out and pulled her feet over, and said softly: "Stop making trouble, wash your feet and go to bed peacefully, it's already late .”

Hualou slowly stretched her feet into the basin, Donghua gently washed her feet, Hualou pursed her lips, and just looked at him quietly, if she wasn't so stubborn or stubborn at that time, yes Isn't it true that Donghua will be much happier, and she will also be much happier?

This thought flashed through her mind, in the end it was just a thought, if she had been with Donghua at that time, who would know what it would be like now?

Only those who have never experienced it will imagine that it will be good, and now she already feels that it is a gift from God to her.

Donghua looked up at her, and said lightly, "Donghua."

"Ah."

After Donghua agreed, he realized that she hadn't spoken again, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"Why are you calling me?"

"I just want to shout." Hualou replied.

"Well, then you shout again, I didn't hear it just now."

Hualou then called out again: "Donghua."

There was a smile on the corners of Donghua's mouth, brows and eyes, and he said softly, "Well, you're so cute."

Hua Lou frowned slightly, and then said: "You said that your name is from Fang Chunyu who came to the countryside, and the lanterns flickered and sank into your eyes?"

Donghua frowned and looked at her with a smile: "You think too much, Dong is the surname of the emperor's father, Hua is the surname of the concubine mother, that's how my name came about."

Listening to his words, Hualou frowned slightly: "It's not mine. I don't know the origin of my name. I just heard a poem. Would you like to read it to you?"

"Well, tell me."

"Huage and Zhulou look at each other." After Hualou finished speaking, Donghua frowned slightly, and then said: "The artistic conception is good, but the scene is bleak."

"The explanation is accurate, so I just died like that." Sometimes Hualou felt very strange. When she said this to Donghua, she didn't feel very sad, but after Donghua listened, she said lightly: "In the future Don't allow that matter to be a joke, you don't feel distressed, I feel distressed."

"Oh." Hualou replied sheepishly, pouted.

After Donghua washed her feet, at that time, unmarried girls were not allowed to let strange men see her feet, otherwise they would marry him.

Hualou looked at Donghua's busy appearance, and then found something to wipe her feet. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now.

After finishing it, she got into the quilt at once. The action seemed that Donghua was going to rush over to grab the quilt from her. She looked like a child. Donghe probably never saw Hualou so cute in his life. look like.

Donghua watched her hiding under the quilt, his smiling face just now turned gloomy, and he still remembered what happened just now.

But Donghua stood there in a daze for a while, Hualou gently lifted the quilt to peek at what Donghua was doing.

Donghua noticed her small movements, and he pursed his lips and suppressed a smile: "What are you peeking at me for? You have to look at it in a fair and honest way. I'll let you look at it, wherever you want."

Hualou glared at him, his eyes twinkling: "Rogue, I'm going to sleep."

Donghua walked over slowly, sat on the bed, and stretched his hand into the quilt to pull her. At first, Donghua thought that if he stretched out, he would pull her hand, but the picture building shrank too much, and when he reached in, he would touch her. When Donghua's palm touched a place that shouldn't be touched, there was a burst of softness.

"Where's your hand?"

"Donghua, where do you put your hands?" Hualou said and lifted the quilt all at once, but the scene was that Donghua's hands completely covered Hualou's chest. Donghua was also stunned, and the two After Ren Dayan stared with small eyes for a few seconds, Hualou screamed, but Donghua rolled over and blocked Hualou's screaming with his actions.

Donghua looked at the enlarged version of the face in front of him, Donghua was on top, looking down at her, then he blew out the candle, and pulled the quilt over his body.
