Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

There was a sudden flicker of panic in her eyes, as if looking at me was looking at a monster that was eating blood and flesh. She hurriedly looked away, and said shrinkingly, "I don't know what you are talking about."

I got closer to her, almost chasing her dodging eyes: "You know."

"..."

"Don't come between the two of us-this sentence is what you said, now, I will also give it back to you. What else can you hide at this time? You can detect your father You ’ve decided to stick to the emperor, how could you not notice it? What ’s wrong with him? ”

"..."

"If it's because of someone else, or something else, you can stop it with all your strength, but only this person, you can do nothing about it."

"..."

"He and Pei Yuanxiu are already colluding, right?"

My sentence was like a nail in a nail, and the fact was unavoidably cut away, and it was bloodily thrown in front of her. Nangong Lizhu finally lifted his head and looked at me helplessly, a little helpless in the hazy eyes: "You, how did you know?"

I calmly said, "I have seen the sons of Gongsun of Jinhou, his son Gongsun Qi, and Runan Yuan, together with the people of the Lin family in Yunzhong."

She frowned: "Where have you met?"

"Jiangnan."

"..."

"All of them have been in private with him."

"..."

"I've seen the letter they wrote to Pei Yuanxiu."

"..."

"Even, I suspect that the emperor's assassination in Yangzhou was also their handwriting."

Nangong Lizhu shook slightly, and looked at me in horror. I continued to say, "Now that these people have gathered, of course, I can only think of Pei Yuanxiu's body."

Nangong Lizhu said: "So you have to say, this time the rebellion, is he manipulating behind the scenes?"

I shook my head: "Maybe."

"What?" She was startled again and looked at me suddenly: "Did you just say that my dad colluded with him?"

"Collusion is one thing, but this time the rebellion is another."

"... I don't understand."

Looking at Nangong Lizhu's doubtful expression, I smiled slightly—in fact, just now, when I saw the rebel leaders, I had doubts, but that doubt was only a moment, and I was No.

What kind of person is Pei Yuanxiu? Over the years, I have seen it too clearly.

He didn't make many shots, but every time he hit a blow. It was like the original occupation of the six provinces of Jiangnan. After several years of planning, the fall of the Shen family led to the establishment of his power in Jiangnan. With such careful deployment, in the end, Pei Yuanzhang had almost no power to return to the sky. He could only acquiesce that this force confronted himself across the river. It can be seen that his thoughts were deep and his mind was no longer under Pei Yuanzhang.

But this time the rebellion, at least in my opinion, was not his standard.

Not only is the level not high, but it is very hasty from the beginning. Throughout the dynasties, such a rebellion must first have a banner of righteousness and strictness in order to establish itself in the land of justice. This time, they attacked the Xuanwumen from the beginning. There was no slogan when he entered the imperial city. It was exactly like a group of Wuhe people. Until now, the slogan of King Qin was escorted by the soldiers gathered at the Xiandian.

This is definitely not the style of Pei Yuanxiu.

More likely, it was Yuan Mingde and they were originally ambitious. They wanted to join Beijing's auxiliary government and gain power. Who knew that the emperor was awake and blocked their way. They were unwilling to do so, so they temporarily decided to do so.

Nangong Jinhong should not have been involved in this matter from the beginning.

However, as a party collaborating with Pei Yuanxiu, he must also be associated with these people, so the rebels broke into the Imperial City, and then he took action, especially when the Yihua Palace was emptied, and he let them fight. The slogan of "King of the King" and asked them to negotiate, asking me and Nangong Lizhu.

After hearing what I said, Nangong Lizhu's face became a little paler, and she sneered, and said, "It's no wonder why my father has to protect you in addition to me."

I looked down at her.

She raised her head and looked at me, her smile revealing a few words: "Do you think my father protects you, only this time?"

"..."

I frowned slightly, as if I felt something: "What else?"

She seemed angry and didn't want to go on, just snorted coldly.

But I already remembered it.

I remember that I was still in the palace at that time. When Ren Jixian Temple was square, in order to leave the palace and to deal with her, Xiao Fuzi kept secretly monitoring the people and affairs of Yuhua Palace, and again, Xiao Fuzi told me that Nangong When Jin Hong entered the palace and met with her, there was some conflict between the two, and my name was mentioned several times in the middle.

At that time, I guessed that their father and daughter should have diverged because of me. Is it--

Nangong Lizhu sneered again and said, "At that time, I was still a concubine, and you were just a straight letter of Jixian Temple. If you really want to deal with you, there are too many ways. But he always disagrees.

"..."

"Because he doesn't agree, I can't let go of my hands and feet, I can do this until the end ..."

"..."

I didn't speak, but I was a little clear in my head.

Sure enough, at that time, the two of them really did because I had a disagreement, Nangong Lizhu wanted my life, but Nangong Jinhong-he has already colluded with Pei Yuanxiu, and Pei Yuanxiu, he has been protecting me, even, he There should be a message to Nangong Jinhong so that they will cause discord between their father and daughter.

And I survived in such a gap.

Thinking of this, I could not help but feel sour.

Pei Yuanxiu ...

Pei Yuanxiu ...

Until now, I do n’t think it ’s wrong to leave him. After all, he and Han Ruoshi are now married to the Ming media, and I—I really have n’t been able to fall in love with him as I wish, if everyone has their own. Armed and tied together are nothing more than hurting each other.

So I walked, decidedly, and didn't even look back.

But no matter how I insist, how I determine, but one thing, I can't fool myself.

Emotionally, I owed him.

I failed to fall in love with him, and even knew nothing about it when he was protected.

Now, in retrospect, when I fled the palace from the fire of Jixian Temple, I was able to leave the capital smoothly, and even on that way, I escaped Pei Yuanzhang's search because of the soldiers of the Ministry of War. It was no coincidence that I wanted to come. .

"He is really affectionate to you."

I was immersed in the past, and suddenly heard the voice of Nangong Lizhu, looking down, she was looking at me with a weak smile on her face.

I frowned subconsciously: "What are you going to say?"

She blinked: "What else can I say?"

"..."

She smiled bitterly: "I really don't know what is good about you, let him, and him, you can even kill him for your life, even--"

She looked at me, both unwillingly and angerly, "What the **** are you doing, so that they all remember you?"

"..."

Somehow, it was ironic to hear these words in my ears.

I reached out and supported the edge of the couch and stood up, probably because I was squatting for too long, and I felt dizzy together. I took a moment to stand firm, and then looked down at Nangong Lizhu. Laughing: "I also want to know what they value me."

"..."

"I must change."

"..."

She stunned, I already laughed bitterly, went to the chair and sat down.

Nangong Lizhu sat quietly on her knees. After a while, she said, "Now, you already know what's going on behind the scenes, what are your plans?"

I took a deep breath and looked back at her, saying, "I intend to promise them."

"what?!"

She looked at me in surprise: "You, you really want to give us both?"

"..."

"Are you crazy ?!"

As soon as she was agitated, her pale face finally became a little red, but she looked weaker and weaker. She said eagerly: "It was just you who said that what they care about is our two lives, because we two All of them are in Jixian Temple, so they didn't attack. Now you have to hand over the two of us, isn't it that they have nothing to worry about in the end? "

"..."

"If we leave, they will be captured by them!"

The more she said, the more the voice trembled, and the hand holding Pei Yuanzhang became tighter, and even her eyes became red in the end, eagerly saying, "I don't, I won't leave him one step! If he I ’m dead, I do n’t want to die, I will die with him! ”

I sat on the chair and watched her excited, but said nothing, and waited until her words were finished, then I slowly said, "What if he doesn't have to die?"

She froze and looked at me suddenly: "What did you say?"

"I said, he doesn't have to die."

"..."

"But on the condition that you listen to me."

"..."

She was a little nervous, she seemed to believe me, but she didn't dare to believe me completely. She looked at me cautiously for a while, and then said, "What are you going to do?"

I said calmly: "Now, it's been more than an hour since they broke into Xuanwumen, and people outside must have known what happened inside. Those who are really escorted by the King must have begun preparations, and even have to come in. "

"..."

"However, I think their men and women are definitely not just around Jixian Temple. Since your father is involved in this matter, then the situation in the palace will surely fall into their grasp. , They will definitely set up men and women at all levels, and those who come to the palace to **** the king will not arrive here so smoothly. "

"So?"

"So, I gave them half an hour to decide whether to hand over the two of us."

"Half an hour?" Nangong Lizhu frowned subconsciously, as if trying to count this time enough, but after a while, she still looked at me blankly, I sighed and said: "Half an hour is not enough. No matter where people come from, half an hour is not enough for them to enter the palace. At least, they need an hour."

"Then why don't you want an hour with them?"

"..."

I couldn't help rolling my eyes: "Do you think this is something I can decide?"

She froze and immediately understood, lowering her head in shame.

I shook my head and continued to say, "In fact, originally, I just wanted to ask them for an hour, but they refused. After negotiations, they changed to half an hour."

Nangong Lizhu said: "Then we go out now, isn't it the same result?"

I blinked and said, "But they want two people."

"...!"

She trembled suddenly and looked at me: "What?"

"They want two people," I said. "This is an opportunity we can delay."

Nangong Lizhu's breath tightened, her eyes staring at me: "You mean--"

"Go out first, give them a sweetness, and make them think things are feasible, so that they may be willing to wait."

Nangong Lizhu blinked and thought again. This time, she reacted quickly and looked up at me: "This, maybe."

Then, she looked at me again: "Why don't you go out?"

...

I closed my mouth and said nothing.

There were originally only three of us in the room. When I stopped, there was a sudden silence, and all of a sudden she rushed in front of everyone, and her brows immediately twisted.

Eyes looked at me with a hint of alertness.

I said, "It's true that two people go out one is our strategy, but whoever goes out also has a strategy."

She said, "What strategy?"

"Can't give the most important things to them from the beginning."

"..."

"If we get the most important people, then they may jump over the wall and attack Jixian Temple when time is tight and reinforcements are approaching. Then, our strategy will fail."

"..."

"We need to give a less important and more important one to stay in Jixian Temple. They saw the opportunity and wanted to get a hand so that they could always suppress them."

When I said these words, Nangong Lizhu's face had become very unsightly. If she said that her face was pale with blood loss, then at this moment, she was already a little lost.

I could feel the trembling in her body, and the hand holding Pei Yuanzhang was constantly working hard, and the knuckles of her fingers were all white.

After a while, she slowly raised her head. The autumn eyes with tears in her eyes looked at me, but her eyes had frozen into ice--

"The two of us, who is the important one?"
