Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The queen queen's tent is not far from the king's tent, but now that end is full of people's voices, all the courtiers and guards are concentrated there, but there are only a few little court ladies watching on this side, quiet enough to be heard by the wind Hear.

When I walked by, the wind was flourishing, and I just watched the lush grass growing on the valleys on both sides. As the wind kept rolling, like a wave of green waves hit the top of the valley, I looked at it like that The scenery, stopped for a moment, the little court ladies have seen me, hurriedly came to salute me respectfully.

I just spoke them a few words and walked to the door.

The people inside seemed to hear my footsteps and said, "Don't rush, the queen queen's order will be ready immediately."

I opened the curtain and walked in. I saw that Gui Yan was facing away from me and sorting out what was going on. I just stood behind her quietly. At first she didn't seem to care much, and slowly seemed to feel it. What, looking back at me, immediately seemed startled: "Scared, Yue-Master Yue ?!"

I walked up with a smile: "Guilin."

"You, why are you here?"

"I heard you can't be here to help."

"Uh, no, no need."

She said, hurriedly put together the Queen Mother's books and some simple tools to put them together, and then I would pick them up. I smiled slightly: "The queen mother has been taking care of the emperor in the king's account, not even here Come back to rest. "

"Well, yes, yes."

"Really, mother and son are connected."

Gui Yan listened, his face became a little strange again, but still smiled reluctantly: "Yeah, mother and son are connected."

Somehow, it seemed like she was so nervous when she saw me this time that she didn't even want to spend time with me alone for a long time, while talking, she had already reached the door and was about to close the curtain. I was already at her Behind him, slowly said, "But who is the one who really should be in touch with the queen mother?"

Gui Yan's hand froze there.

The wind outside was whizzing, but the inside of the tent was so silent that there was no breathing.

For a long while, she turned her head and looked at me stiffly. The whole person seemed to be greatly shocked, her face was pale, and after looking at me for a long time, she made some difficult openings: "How can you-you, you Say what?"

"..."

"You, don't talk nonsense!"

"Guilin rest assured," I slowly walked in front of her, and said, "I've let them go away from the people outside. There are some words here today, and I want to ask Guilin in person .Because I know that if she asks the queen mother of her elderly, she does not necessarily not say, but-I believe that every word you say is a cut in her heart. "

When I said that, Gui Yan's face showed a painful expression.

I said softly, "So, let me ask Gui Yan."

She looked at me, more and more panic-stricken, and hurried to the table to put things down, but seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy, the whole person was a little breathless: "I, I am not very telling you, I do not know anything!"

I walked behind her and calmly said, "Guilin, if you really don't know anything, then that time, when the queen mother has a fever, nightmares, or nonsense, you won't interrupt the queen mother. What you said. "

Upon hearing this sentence, Gui Yan's face froze.

I slowly walked over and calmed my tone, saying: "Well, I am Yue Qingying who I am, and I think you should know in your heart. I will not harm the queen mother, this is beyond doubt."

"..." Gui Yan was silent.

"Actually, I have already guessed the truth of the matter. Now, I just want to confirm my guess."

"..."

"Because of this, it has a great impact."

"..."

"Not only the queen mother, the emperor today, maybe the whole world, will overturn for this matter."

"..."

"Really at that step, the court is turbulent, the flames of war are raging, countless people have lost their lives, Gui Ye, will your conscience be peaceful?"

When I said, one word was heavier than one word, and all these were pressed on the old man with a frown on his face, his face pale, and his fingers trembling constantly. I even felt that her whole body was shaking constantly, finally like It was about to collapse and took a few steps back, sitting on the bed: "Don't say it!"

"..."

Looking at her, I know that my purpose has been achieved.

To lie, or to insist on a lie, one needs to build a strong barrier in his heart in order to withstand the shock of conscience brought by lying, whether the lie is good or bad. To get her to tell the truth, the first step is to break the barrier inside her.

I slowly walked in front of her, gently holding her shaking hands, and said softly, "I know, you keep this secret, it has not been easy these years."

"..."

"Morning Queen, it's not easy."

"..."

"However, the queen mother has eaten fasting for so many years, and tortured herself with such loneliness in Linshui stupa for so many years, but she didn't say it easily, she just didn't want to hurt others.

"..."

"And now, if this thing is used by some people, it may hurt more people, queen mother, will she do this?"

Gui Yan looked down at me, and her eyes were almost completely broken. She took a long breath and finally felt like she had given up, and slowly said, "What are you asking?"

My heart just let go of this moment.

However, I really want to ask, in fact, it is not only the others that are hurt, but also some tenderness that I feel. I hesitated a bit, and finally said, "The child of the queen mother, isn't it-right?"

Gui Yan gritted his teeth, and finally, slowly, nodded his head.

Although I had already guessed what I really wanted, but my heart was still agitated when I saw Gui Yan admit it.

Really!

It's true!

"why?"

"Why?" Gui Yan repeated these three words, but looked at me with a funny look: "You are also a mother, you should know why."

"..."

"This kind of thing, no woman, would like to happen."

"..." My heart sank. I remembered that when the queen queen was sitting in the Linshui stupa and saying to me, "He is my evil ghost Yasha", the heart in my eyes was ashamed, but always I can't stop the pain, I seem to understand it all at once.

I said softly, "Yes, too great?"

"..." Gui Yan didn't say anything, but it was the default.

"So, why did he do this?"

Gui Yan sat there, shook his head gently, and said, "I don't know. Until now, I don't know why. At that time, it was still more than 20 years ago, calling the Queen of Martyrs, the concubine, and still is The empress and concubine of the emperor's concubine, all three of them were pregnant at the same time. Although the emperor, the emperor, did not sacrifice at that time, I heard that he already had a mouthful, whoever gave birth to the prince first would be the prince of the heavens.

"Oh?" My heart froze.

According to the order of the later eldest children, it was naturally the concubine at that time, that is, the later Empress Yin, and her child was born first, so Pei Yuanxiu became the prince.

So what does it have to do with the Queen Mother's children?

When I heard this sentence, Gui Min's hand shook in my hand and said, "Actually, the queen mother doesn't care about this, she just cares if her child can grow up well. But —— "

"But what?"

"But," Gui Yan said, with a look of horror in his eyes: "On the day of the mother-in-law's delivery, Gui Palace suddenly caught fire!"

"what?!"

My heart jumped fiercely-the fire of Gui Palace! That is, the fire that called the Queen of Martyrs to death!

Although I have heard before that Queen Zhaolie suffered misfortune with her child, but I never thought that it was such a time, and the queen mother was still giving birth at that time!

I hurriedly clenched her hand: "Well, call Queen Queen-"

Before I finished speaking, I immediately woke up to myself. Of course, the Queen Zhaolie was dead, which is a fact that has existed long ago. But now, I think back to the tragic moment at that time, a woman who was pregnant, died tragically in the fire. The kind of pain and despair, someone who has not experienced it, cannot imagine.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the night that made me unforgettable, and I couldn't help shaking.

Perhaps, this harem has never lacked such a victimized woman.

I sat silently on the edge of the bed, and it took me a long time to calm down my mind and ask, "So, what happened later?"

"Later, the queen queen woke up the next day to know what was happening at the Gui Palace. She was very weak at the time, but she had a deep relationship with Zhao Lie, and she still had to stick to it, but only then discovered that It has been guarded by the Emperor. "

"Why, guard?"

"I don't know." Gui Yan shook his head and said, "At that time, because of the fire, the palace was chaotic, and the queen mother didn't have the energy to manage more things, so she had to wait for the emperor. It was so easy to ask what had happened. It wasn't until three days before the Emperor came to Ning'an to see her. "

"and then?"

"Then ..." At this point, Gui Yan's eyes revealed a crack-like wound. "Then, after the Emperor's departure, the empress found that her child had been replaced."

"what?!"

I was taken aback: "Is someone changed?"

"Yes, it was changed." Gui Yan nodded. "Actually, at that time, neither I nor the mother-in-law took care of the emperor. We didn't think there was anything wrong, but the queen mother immediately seized it, and the child in the hall Not her. "

"..." There was a violent shock in my head, as if someone was hit hard with a heavy hammer from behind.

The queen mother's child was replaced?

Exactly, was it replaced by the emperor?

Why did he change the queen's child?

If it is said that the queen mother's child was replaced by him, then where did that child go? The replacement for the queen mother is naturally what it is today-where did he come from?

I just felt a mess in my mind, and I couldn't understand why for a while. Only Gui Yan's eyes were a little red, and her head was lowered: "Maybe, it's really mother and son who are connected with heart."

"..."

"The queen mother later asked me to invite the emperor to come, but screened back all the people, including me. No one knew what they said, but the queen mother always insisted that the child in the family was not her. Later, the empress did not come to the empress ... "

"..."

"Later, the queen mother entered the water pagoda and refused to come out again."

Mother and child connected heart ...

Mother and child connected!

I slowly let go of Gui Yan's hand, but clenched my fist unconsciously until my nails penetrated deeply into my palm, and a pain came.

If the emperor really exchanged the two children at the time; if the queen mother saw the painting in Chang Qing's studio, she really felt because the mother and the child were connected to each other; then her child, which is the one that made me a lifetime Remember the man who can't forget, now maybe it is the weakness that others use to restrain her!

That day, when she murmured, "Someone, will you save him?" Something had happened ...

but--

I frowned and looked at Gui Yan: "Well, does anyone else know about this?"

Gui Yan shook his head: "In the beginning, only I followed the queen queen the closest. Only Ning'an Palace and I knew it. Of course, it might be that it was too high ..."

That is natural.

However, the Emperor Tai has been ill for many years now, and I am afraid that there is no way to prove anything, and if he really does this, according to his identity, he will not tell others. What I worry about is another--

"So, you, or your queen mother, have you told anyone?"

Gui Yan immediately shook his head when he heard it, and said, "Of course not!"

"..."

"This incident hurt the queen mother very deeply. It was not long after that, the queen mother entered the Linshui stupa, and even the emperor did not come here often. The queen mother was always secretive about this matter when she was with me I never mentioned it, as if it hadn't happened at all. But, I know, her heart has always been-always bitter and tortured. "

It's right to want to come. The Queen Mother has come this way all these years. Even if she asked me about Huang Tianba, she never explained it. How could she tell other people?

And Gui Yan, when the queen mother talked in a dream, she had to step forward to stop, and naturally she would not tell others.

Since that's the case, then how did Shen Gongyu know how--

and many more!

What suddenly came to my mind--

When the queen mother is awake, naturally she will not say, but what if she is not awake?

Thinking of this, I seemed to understand it all at once, Gui Yan looked at me as if a light flashed, and was shocked and said in a hurry: "Master Yue, what are you doing?"

I looked at her, and it was hard to say anything for a while. I just said gently, "It's all right."

"..."

Of course, such perfunctory words can be perfunctory, but they can't perfuse an old man like Gui Yan. She still looked at me in confusion, but she didn't follow up. Maybe she was also very clear about what should be asked, what should not be asked ; What can be asked, what can't be asked. After a long while, he sighed softly, "I know what I told you."

"Well ..."

"I don't know what to do about the queen mother now." She looked at me slowly and said, "Master Yue, you are a person who will take big ideas. You need to worry more about the queen mother."

For a moment, I was a little verbal.

I ’m not a person who can get big ideas. The current situation does n’t turn me on to get ideas, but looking at her eyes, it seems that she has entrusted everything to me, she, and the queen of life My throat was choked, and I couldn't say anything.

After a while, I said softly, "I understand."

Then she got up, nodded deeply toward me, and went out with the things on the table.

I also walked out of the queen's tent with her, but looking at her old back, there was no way to keep up, not only because of everything I just knew, it was too shocking for me, and the situation in front of me. Makes me uneasy.

.

Now, I already know what Shen Gongming is thinking.

No matter whether he got the secret of the queen queen by the method I guessed or not, so as to grasp the weakness of the queen queen, now that he knows the secret, it is naturally impossible to leave it unused.

Previously, when Fu Bazhen first entered Beijing, he was attacked in a courtyard outside the city, and they still had some scruples. After all, according to the order of the monarchs and ministers, the honor and prosperity of the courtiers all came from the emperor. Besides, his daughter was a consort in the harem, and later For the birth of Liner, the resignation of Pei Yuanzhang will naturally have greater benefits in the future.

But now, he clearly has no scruples.

First, naturally, because Pei Nianyun was diagnosed as an idiot by Fu Bazhen, she never became a prince in the future and became the emperor.

Second, this is the secret of the Queen Mother.

In fact, it has been so many years. Besides, what exactly is Pei Yuanzhang's identity is still inconclusive. If you want to wrap it up, it is not impossible, but-from this way Pei Yuanzhang opposed From a deep attitude, the Prince has already had a fixed number. Even if Shen Rou really has the opportunity to give birth to a prince, he is just a prince.

Therefore, Shen Gongyu has also lost this idea.

In his position, since the emperor was no longer able to bring them greater benefits, then naturally, this emperor was not the best emperor for them.

Moreover, now that Pei Yuanzhen is seriously injured and unconscious, this is a good opportunity!

But I still don't understand.

If they really have such an outrageous act, it will definitely cause a great rebound in the administration of the DPRK. With the power of Shen Gongzhen, can they suppress those people, and he dare not have the common saying in front, and Fu Bazhen in the future. And if the power of young officials in North Korea and China cannot be underestimated, the world will not be underestimated?

After all, changing the world is not a trivial matter!

This bet is a bit risky, or it is too risky, even me, I will weigh it, not to mention Shen Gongyu, he is not like the kind of person who can only act blindly and does not consider the result. At the time of the Great War, he supported Pei Yuanzhang in the back, which was the same, not to mention now.

So, what is his real hole card?

.

I lowered my head all the way, and slowly moved forward with my eyebrows locked. I didn't notice that I was tripped by the rope on the side of the road. Lived me.

"what!"

I was frightened, and finally managed to stand still. I looked up, but it was Sun Jingfei, with a faint smile on my fortitude's face, looking at me: "Master Yue, are you okay? What are you thinking?"

I also blushed a little: "Thank you."

He only smiled, let go of my arm, and looked at my other hand with a thick bandage, saying, "It hurts, is it okay?"

"It's okay." Then I thanked him again. "Thank you very much this time."

As soon as he heard it, he hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare to take it."

"……what?"

He looked at me in a serious way: "I really didn't expect that you look so tender and weak, but you have such courage to dare to fight, oh no-to bite a tiger. I live like this It's the first time I've seen a man bit a tiger. "

Somehow, the scene was originally a nightmare, but when he said it, it was a bit funny, and I couldn't help but smile: "It tastes good."

However, there was a little more appreciation in his smile, saying: "Master Yue, you-really live up to its name."

Deserved reputation?

I heard these four words, but it was a bit of a surprise. Did anyone say that my name was passed to him?

Just when I wanted to ask, I heard someone calling him, turned around, like the other members of the Guards, he promised, and looked back at me, I hurriedly said, "Master, you should You know, was the Royal Camp soldier transferred by Shen Fu? "

"Um." He nodded.

"That you--"

"You can rest assured," he said simply, but firmly, "I know what I should do."

Seeing him like this, I felt relieved, but to be assured, this time is far from the time of reassurance, I took a step forward to his ears and whispered: "You, how much this time Come here? "

When I heard this, his face was somewhat dignified. He looked around and also lowered his voice: "Not much."

When I heard these two words, my heart sank.

If Shen Gongzhen had already made some preparations before, then this time there must be a lot of people transferred from the royal camp. The Guards are the escorts of the Imperial City. Dispatching of soldiers.

Thinking of this, he and I froze involuntarily.

At this time, someone called him next, and Sun Jingfei promised me, and I didn't force him to stay, just said, "Go first, there are some things we-"

He shook his head, but interrupted me, and looked around carefully, confirming that no one near us was overhearing. I was a little nervous because of his attitude, I do n’t know what he was going to do. , Saw him come together and whispered: "Master Yue, have you seen Master Liu?"

My heart jumped.

Light cold.

I don't know why he asked so suddenly.

It is true that when I fell from the tiger's back, until now, I have been looking for that man, but with so many messy figures around, I have not seen him at all.

I was attacked and wounded. He hasn't even appeared since he died almost nine lives!

My heart is not without sorrow. When I think about living in the fishing village, I was a little tired. The years that would make this man distressed may be gone forever, but I didn't expect that he could really reach this point.

Still, there are other reasons.

I gently turned my face and looked at Sun Jingfei: "What are you going to say?"

Sun Jingfei and I were close at hand, and I could almost see the appearance of me in his eyes, with a bit of uncertainty and trembling. Sun Jingfei looked at me with a bit of anxiety and hesitated. Then I slowly said, "Before, because you said those things to me, I have always paid more attention to Master Liu ..."

"..."

"I just realized that it seems like I haven't seen him for the past two days."

"..."

"Master Yue, he--you must pay attention to it anyway."

The more I listened to him, the heavier my heart was. Sun Jingfei finally gave me a bit of heavy eyes and turned away.

.

Light cold ...

Light cold!

I never dared to think about what happened to him after I left the fishing village and left him. The simple words in the bamboo forest at the beginning may not describe his heartfelt at all. See also Less pain than he once did.

Now he appears to me. In front of everyone, he has a perfect and impeccable cold attitude. It seems that the whole person is an ice sculpture. The years, emotions, and pains were frozen in the deepest heart. If there is no hot flame to open, you will never see it.

But I don't know what kind of flame can melt his coldness now.

The kind of coldness that resists people thousands of miles away, but makes people irresistible.

What's more, on the terrace of Jixian Temple that day, what he said to me, and the confusing relationship between him and Shen Gongyu ...

Just thinking about these things, I felt pain from the bottom of my heart.

I do n’t know what I should do. Like any problem, I can find a way to overcome it. With him alone, I ca n’t do it, I ca n’t think, and the rationality and wisdom that I can usually use are all lost when I see him Save.

I do not know what to do.

If he really said what Sun Jingfei said ... what should I do?

It was like a nightmare, the real nightmare that enveloped me.

All night, my heart seemed to be pinched by a black hand, my breathing could not continue, my heartbeat could not continue, and I almost woke up from my dream with suffocation, facing the same darkness as the nightmare.

I opened my eyes suddenly, lying in a cold sweat, and my breathing center was jumping for a while, and it was painful. After a long time, I felt that I was still alive, and slowly stretched out the uninjured hand, struggling. Support yourself to sit up.

Shui Xiu was still asleep, her uniform breathing seemed so sweet, I just sat in the darkness, listening to her breathing, I finally calmed myself down, but also found that there was no way to fall asleep again.

In my heart, there was a cluster of flames named Liu Qinghan, which had been tormenting me.

I slowly got up from the bed, put on the clothes with one hand, and carefully stood up, groped to the account, and faintly saw that there seemed to be fire outside, so I gently raised The curtain.

A bonfire is still burning in the open space. Looking at it from a distance is like a blooming flower in the night. There are countless Mars straight up to the sky with the green smoke. Several little eunuchs are sitting by the fire to take care of it, but Eyelid fights, one by one dozing.

I stood at the door and saw this scene, a gust of wind blew, and a little coolness made me wince.

In the wind, there seems to be a little taste of wine.

Where does the wine come from?

I frowned slightly, and saw the edge of the wooden stake in front of me, like a figure sitting on the ground, with one long leg comfortably straightened, the other leg supported, holding one hand, and the whole person leaning back The stake, leaning his head slightly, the distant fire flickered, shone on his face, and a faint gloom spilled out, but there was a strange beauty in the face in the night.

Looking at the winey, flushed face, my heart jumped.
