Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I looked at him calmly and said softly: “Of course I can’t help it.”

“…”

“However, Your Majesty is better off.”

He said, “Are you threatening me, or-“

“I have nothing,” I said lightly, “I just feel that Your Majesty should be good to me.”

“…”

“I can do everything.”

“…”

“Your Majesty, do you really want my body?”

Hearing this sentence, his breathing sank suddenly, and he suddenly stood up in front of me. I felt his body was too anxious, and all of them burst into a gust of wind, blowing the white hair on my forehead. stand up.

I slowly raised my head and looked at him again.

He stood in front of me and looked down at me. In the dim light, his figure was tense, trembling slightly, as if pulled to the limit of a bowstring, as if he was about to break in the next moment.

The whole Yihua Palace was also shrouded in such emotions. For a time, even the wind could not blow in.

The two were facing each other like each other.

My eyes are blinder, it is easier than blind eyes, because I can’t see the anger of others, and I won’t shrink from his anger. Instead, he feels that his breathing is too fast to support him. Well, after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, “You’re right, hey, even your body!”

I sighed, lowered my head, and said sadly, “What do you want a corpse?”

“…”

“What do you want me to stay?”

“…”

“Your Majesty, what I can do has already been done, and what I can give has also been given. This is like a wither, what is your use for me?”

“…”

“Why can’t you give me a little peace, even if only for a day?”

“Quietness?” He laughed suddenly when he heard these two words, but the ridiculous sound was full of salty taste: “The tranquility you want is to leave your uncle and be alone, to remember you The person in your heart, you need to guard him peacefully-even if it is only a memory of him, is it? “

“…”

I was quiet for a while and then said, “Your Majesty understands it, too.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

He burst into laughter, and walked several steps in the empty Yihua Palace. The figure was like a puppet that had its main bones taken away. All at once, there was nothing.

His laughter shook the roof.

I looked at him quietly, listening to his arrogant smile, and after a while, I saw him suddenly choking and walked back to me, reaching out to me: “What do you not understand ?!”

I looked at him and said calmly, “Your Majesty knows everything.”

“…”

“You just don’t want to understand.”

“…”

“You are even more reluctant to admit it.”

“…”

“Your Majesty, love and death, origin and death, speaking of human affairs, but in fact, no one at all.”

“…”

“If Your Majesty is indifferent to me, and if I can be merciful to Her Majesty, maybe both of us will feel better.”

“…”

“It’s just a pity-Your Majesty can’t do it, neither can I.”

“…”

“So, please help Your Majesty complete.”

Compared to my calmness, he shivered so much. His original muscular figure seemed to shatter in the wind at this time. He watched me lower my head to him for a long time, and I did n’t know how long. He said hoarsely, “You want to be perfect?”

“…”

“Okay, I’ll do it for you.”

“…”

“Tomorrow, you will come to Chengming Hall.”

“…”

“Well, give you a break!”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out without going back.

I lowered my head, and after a long time, I slowly raised my head, only feeling a bone-like chill in the wind, and in front of him, there was no figure of him.

Tomorrow … Chengming Hall …?

I looked at the sky that was gradually fading out, and suddenly felt that my own world was once again caught in such darkness.

At that moment, I remembered some past things.

I remembered the first time I made a request to him, asking him to release me from the palace on the day of amnesty, and he agreed.

But in the end, he stopped me stiffly in front of the palace gate.

He shattered the dream I most expected in my eyes.

The second time I made a request to him was in Jixiang Village, and I begged him to let me and Qinghan let us be an ordinary couple.

However, he made me drink a glass of medicated wine.

With his cold life, he forced me to say those ruthless words.

So, this time?

He is going to give me a break in Chengming Hall. Is it true?

still is–

|

With such doubts, I spent a long night.

This night, I was a little bit unsure whether I was asleep, maybe it was asleep, because all night, my eyes flashed through the faces of many people, especially the light cold, and I saw him facing the dark He smiled at me, and his half-faced face was covered with half a cold mask, but his smile was like a spring breeze.

Even on such a cold night, it gave me a trace of warmth that I longed for.

However, the next morning, I kept my eyes open and watched the dark sky gradually let out the light.

The cold mist pierced through the cracks in the window.

I got up myself, finished washing, and took a piece of clothes from the hanger.

A piece of stone-blue, very plain clothes, but because the skin is quite white, it doesn’t look sloppy after wearing it, but it makes me feel very comfortable.

Use a towel of the same color to carefully pull up the gray hair. I know that I must look like a simple, no one on the street will look at the village woman.

Actually, long ago, I hoped so.

After finishing packing, I opened the door and heard two familiar voices calling me—

“Miss Yan.”

It’s the voice of Qian Yan and Jade Father.

These two elderly people are still rare and their bodies are still healthy. I smile at them and say, “Are you here to pick me up?”

The voice of the father-in-law was a little hoarse: “The emperor let the slaves come over, please ask Miss Yan to go to Chengming Hall.”

I laughed and said, “I’m about to pass, I just can’t see.”

“…”

“The troublesome father-in-law shows me the way.”

Yugonggong stood in place, looked at me for a while, and finally turned slowly, and Qian Yan came over and carefully supported my arm, three people went forward.

On this way, you can see the sunshine.

Although the winter is not over, and the treetop branches are still accumulating falling snow, the sun shines on the snow, reflecting the bright light, giving the impression of a little warmth. I look at the faint, weak Guang Guang was supported by Qian Yan along the way.

After a while, Jade Gong whispered softly, “Here it is.”

I looked up.

Ahead is Cheng Ming Hall.

This is a very old hall in the palace, which was almost abandoned many years ago, but this hall has the advantage that it is very high, and under the stone steps, there is a long, not spacious hallway, red At the end of the red wall is the palace gate.

From here, you can leave this place quickly.

I slowly walked up.

When I walked to the door, I saw that there was almost no furnishings in the empty hall. Four thick pillars hung countless blue-grey curtains and flew slightly in the wind.

Directly in front of the main hall, there is a low table case, and behind it is a huge screen, which seems to be a map of the Jiangshan Society.

Pei Yuanzhang, sitting behind the desk case.

I walked slowly.

“His Majesty.”

My voice is not high, but it echoes in this empty hall, and it is extremely clear.

He looked at me, his voice seemed very calm, even a little calm, echoing in the hall: “You are here.”

“Yes.”

“I changed my clothes.”

“Yes.”

“You, can’t you wait?”

I listened to his voice, and it was still calm, so I said gently: “Since it has been explained clearly, I naturally hope that the sooner the better.”

“…”

He was quiet for a while, and said gently: “The sooner the better …”

“…”

“You can’t wait for it, leave me right away, right?”

I closed my mouth.

He looked at me and slowly said, “At this time, can’t He want you a truth?”

“…” I was silent for a while and said, “I want to leave earlier.”

Hearing this sentence, he seemed to chuckled, nodded again, and then said, “Yan Qingying, the most hopeful thing in my life is to get your frankness.”

“…”

“But I’m afraid. If you start to be honest, you won’t even perfunctory.”

“…”

This sentence made my eyebrows froze slightly. Before he could say anything, he waved at me: “Sit.”

My shoulder twitched slightly.

He asked me to sit?

What do you sit down for?

Thinking back to the past, what he had done to me once again, that uneasy feeling came to mind.

Under the tall stone steps of Chengming Hall, the long, narrow martyrdom road leads directly to the palace gate. If he really answers me, give me a break, and I can turn away and leave.

However, he asked me to sit.

Seeing me standing still, he said, “Why, scared?”

“…”

Scared, not to mention.

When people reach this time, there is nothing terrible.

Because this time, I really have nothing to lose.

The only thing I was afraid of was that I had already reached this time and couldn’t leave.

I was silent for a while and said, “I still want to leave like this.”

He lowered his head and didn’t look at me, Shen said: “But you should know that if you don’t have a promise, even if you are only one step away from the palace gate, you can’t go out.”

“…”

“sit.”

I took a deep breath and slowly walked forward, kneeling in front of him.

The two were facing each other calmly, he looked at me for a while, then waved his hands gently.

A waiter came over from the side and brought a tray.

I narrowed my eyes slightly and barely saw the outline of the thing above.

Seems like two wine glasses.

When the attendant put something on the table in front of us, sure enough, he smelled a clear scent of wine.

He wants to drink me again?

I frowned slightly and raised my head to look at him-the last time, that trick in Jixiang Village?

How could he be such a self-righteous person that he could play the same trick for me a second time?

In front of my doubtful look, he seemed to have seen through my mind and said calmly: “You can rest assured, these two glasses of wine-there is indeed a glass with something added, but it is not what you think.”

I didn’t have time to relax and just asked, “What’s that?”

He said, “Put poison.”

These four words echoed in this empty hall, as if countless people were saying these four words in my ears–

Wear intestinal poison.

Wear intestinal poison!

I sat quietly without shaking my eyelashes.

After a while, I said softly, “Which glass does Your Majesty want me to drink?”

Pei Yuanzhang looked at me and slowly said, “You choose.”

“selected?”

“Yes, you choose.”

He put his two hands on the desk case. I don’t know if it was a slight force. I felt that the desk case was shaken by him.

But his voice was still calm, but at this time, a little dumbness was revealed.

“There are two glasses of wine, one of which is rare, and one of which is highly toxic.”

“…”

“You choose.”

“…”

I looked down at the two wine glasses, although I couldn’t see them clearly, but I probably thought about them. The two are exactly the same. Light.

With human eyes, there is no difference at all.

However, since it was made by him, he naturally knew which glass was fine wine and which glass was poison.

and so–

I looked up at him: “What if I choose the right one?”

“If you choose the right one and drink that glass of wine, I will stand here and watch you out of the house.”

I was silent for a while and then said, “Well, if I choose the wrong–“

He didn’t answer me immediately, but was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: “If you choose the wrong thing, you-don’t leave.”

“…”

“Stay here and die with you.”

Speaking of which, his voice was soft and gentle, saying, “You know, today and today, there is not much you can ask for.”

“…”

“Lightness, I don’t want you to do anything, nothing.”

“…”

“As long as you-just stay.”

“…”

“Stay here and die with you.”

I lowered my head and listened to his words echoing in the hall, but always looked at those two glasses of wine. After a while, I smiled lightly: “Your Majesty, just don’t want me to go?”

“…”

“Your Majesty still refuses to let go.”

Immediately, I heard him take a deep breath, raised his head to face me, and those eyes seemed a little red, and the voice shook at this moment: “If you can let go, let it go!”

“…”

“Yan Qingrui, you understand everything, you understand everything.”

“…”

“But you never understand me.”

“…”

“You never wanted to understand me!”

At this point, he seemed to be in great pain, the whole man was twitching slightly, and the sound of gritting teeth in this empty hall revealed an unprecedented pain.

“…”

I was sitting still.

After a while, I smiled slightly, then lowered my head.

The two glasses in front of me were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, but no matter what, I knew that they were two identical glasses.

One life, one death.

He asked me to choose, but not life or death.

He just wants me to stay.

Because of the thirst for life and the fear of death, from the first day I saw him, I have been so compromised, because I was afraid of death, because of greed, I fell at the feet of destiny countless times, and let this monster Swallow me in and spit it out again.

To this day, I am beyond recognition.

Should we continue?

Thinking of this, I raised one hand and slowly stretched over.

Pei Yuanzhang’s eyes suddenly became scorching. Looking at my hand, the hot eyes almost burned my hand.

But when I reached out to a cup, my hand stopped suddenly.

His breath suffocated with it.

I looked up at him and said softly, “As long as I drink, it’s fine, is fine wine, right?”

His voice trembled slightly, but he took a deep breath: “Of course.”

I smiled at him: “Your Majesty, Jinkouyuyan.”

After that, I reached out my other hand.

Before he could react, he saw my two hands holding the two wine glasses and quickly moved on the desk case.

Although my eyes are invisible, the sense of touch on my hands is still there. Even, because of the invisibility, my fingers and ears have become more and more perceptive. The two wine glasses are constantly exchanged in my hand Moving the position, just like wearing a butterfly, suddenly dangled his eyes.

Finally, in his amazement, my two hands stopped.

The two wine glasses are under my hands. I don’t know how many rounds have been changed, but even a drop of wine has not spilled.

His eyes flickered, and he suddenly looked up at me: “You–“

I said calmly, “Thank you for your reward.”

After speaking, he picked up a glass of wine.

As soon as I picked up the glass, he reached out and grabbed my wrist.

The drink was slightly rippling and almost spilled.

I raised my head, and fluttered slightly, “Your Majesty?”

His breath was heavy, as if something had strangled his throat, making his breathing and heartbeat difficult, he held my wrist hard, as if a drowning man caught the last one. Root life-saving straw.

My slender wrist was so weak in his palm.

Almost a fold, it’s about to break.

But I still gritted my teeth, and it didn’t hurt, I just said, “Your Majesty …”

“You know–” His voice was low, as if from his heart: “If you choose wrong, you–“

“I will die.”

I looked at him calmly.

“You would rather die?”

“I just want to go.”

“…”

Hearing this sentence, his hand trembled suddenly and released my wrist.

Almost all of his fingers were left on his wrists. I was in pain, but I just smiled at him slightly, and then brought the wine glass to my mouth.

“Lightness!”

He gritted his teeth again and called out my name.

But I didn’t pause. I just looked up and drank that glass of wine.

“Lightness!”

His heavy shout sounded in the hall, as if the whole hall shook all at once, and the sweet wine flowed from the tip of his tongue to his throat, bringing a scent of mellowness, and then a slow burning sensation.

I put the wine glass back on the table.

Everything seemed to calm down again, as if nothing had happened.

I looked up, facing him with a slight twitch, nodded slightly, then stood up and walked outside the hall.

There was a rumbling behind him, and he suddenly stood up from the low desk case, because the action was too fierce, almost overturning the desk case.

I stopped, but didn’t look back, just said gently, “Your Majesty, I’m fine.”

“…”

All the sounds behind him disappeared at this moment.

As soon as I lifted my foot, I stepped out of Chengming Hall.

At this time, the sun is very good.

The dazzling sunlight penetrated into my eyes at once, and even the mission, I could feel the dazzling light, which made some eyes open.

I glanced at the sun above my head and lowered my head, while the father-in-law and Qian Yan who had just sent me over had already come to me.

Qian Yan’s voice seemed to be crying: “Girl!”

And Jade Father, although he didn’t cry about his birth immediately, but I saw his uncle’s waist trembling as if he was about to stand still.

Finally, he still couldn’t help, crying and said, “Why, you are already the emperor and concubine, Ronghua and rich are within easy reach, you are already like this, why do you want to leave?”

“…”

“Why can’t you treat yourself well?”

“…”

“I don’t understand, old slave doesn’t understand!”

Listening to the cry of his lament, I was silent for a while, but said nothing, only smiled: “Father, oh, I’m gone.”

After speaking, he turned his head and walked forward.

The stone steps in front of the Chengming Palace are very long, no one leads, I walked a bit hard, and—I do n’t know where the glass of wine was from Pei Yuanzhang, and I drank too fast. At this time, A little bit up.

He was top-heavy and his throat was hot.

I can only be careful, slowly groping slowly step by step, but the more I walk, the higher the stone steps feel. When I reach the last step, my feet are soft and the whole person falls forward.

“Be careful!”

An arm suddenly came across, catching me suddenly.

The voice is–

I looked up: “Yuanfeng?”

“……it’s me.”

His voice seemed very low and his breath was deep.

I looked at him for a while before I could barely recognize the familiar, muscular figure and Mu Hua beside him.

By the way, they have already entered Beijing two mornings, and Pei Yuanzhang has given a reward to his own brother. Even Xue Muhua was killed as a fate.

“Miss Yan …”

Hearing Xue Muhua’s voice, I smiled slightly at them and pulled my hand back from Pei Yuanfeng.

But his hand was still holding me, as if to reach out to me: “You, really want to go?”

I nodded solemnly.

Then he turned his head, passed a small door, and walked down the narrow martyrdom.

The red wall next to it reflected the bright red light in the sunlight, and reflected in my eyes, as if a flower bloomed. I just walked slowly in the sea of ​​flowers, probably because of this. Be soft.

I took a step and reached out to help the cold wall next to it.

My chest hurts.

It may be that the glass of wine was just drunk too fast, the hot feeling slipped from the throat to the heart, and now, even the heart is aching.

Moreover, the blazing temperature slowly spread from the chest to the surroundings, all the way to my limbs and five bodies.

The sea of ​​flowers, faint, turned into a sea of ​​fire.

It was still snowy, but at this moment, I didn’t feel cold.

It’s just that the sun is dazzling.

My feet were slightly heavy, and I took two more steps, and suddenly I heard Yang Jinqiao call me, “Yan Qingying.”

I turned my head slightly.

The light in this place is not very good. I can’t see her outline, but I heard the sound of her coming, and Liu Li next to her, bringing the prince to read evenly.

I smiled and said, “Mrs. Ning Fei, and Ms. Ni, you- why are you here?”

Yang Jinqiao said: “We know you today-and we’ll send you.”

The last two words she said a little bit.

Moreover, I don’t know why, today the sun is bright. Although there is still ice and snow around, there is still warmth, but everyone’s voice seems to have a strong nose and a low voice.

It’s like crying.

The prince even read me and recognized me again. A little fat man pointed at me and said something to Liu Li, Liu Li hugged him, his nose was heavy, and his words were intermittent.

I paused and said to them, “Farewell.”

After speaking, he immediately turned his head.

Yang Jinqiao suddenly called me behind him: “Yan Qingying!”

If she called me normally, I might turn around, but this time, I not only did not turn back, even a few quicker steps, went forward.

The hotness in the throat turned into a sweet smell at this time, constantly rising upwards. I was afraid that I would reveal something in front of them, and I could only avoid it.

However, just after I took two steps forward, my steps were not as good as my own, and I stepped on it step by step. I subconsciously reached out to hold something around me, but I felt a hand stretched over to support it. I.

“Are you OK.”

Some harsh voices, but with a little secret concern, this voice has become a bit strange to me, but as soon as the sound of Yuer sounded next to me, I immediately knew who they are: “Light, what happened to you ? “

It’s Shen Xiaokun and Yuer.

They are also here.

I felt that Shen Xiaokun was holding my hand sadly, and wanted to let go, but he couldn’t bear it, even his thick voice wore a bit of hard taste.

What else did I want to say to him? Suddenly, the hot feeling on my chest suddenly became tingling, as if there was something sharply twisted in the inside, and it would crush me within five minutes.

I frowned in pain, and clenched his hands subconsciously.

“Light!” I hurriedly turned my head and reached out to stop them from running over, mutely: “I’m fine.”

“…”

“I’m fine.”

Having said that, I looked up again, took a deep breath, and pressed down the **** scent that was constantly rising from the pain in my chest.

The dazzling sunlight above my head pierced my eyes.

Many things became clear at this moment.

I slowly turned around and looked at the side of the red wall, in front of the tall Chengming Hall, the figure stood in the sun and kept looking at me.

I can’t see his eyes clearly, but at this moment, I already understood something in my heart.

Go back again-there is a long way ahead.

“I’m fine!”

I repeated these three words aside, nodded to Shen Xiaokun, then turned my head and moved on.

However, the steps have been very difficult.

The throbbing pain in my chest seemed to have become a severe pain at this moment. I walked, my feet staggered, and even my lower back was pinched. The hair that was originally neatly combed was slightly scattered, and a strand of hair passed over my cheek. Sweat dripped down the hair.

The **** smell came up again, and this time, I couldn’t swallow it.

The blood slowly flowed down the corner of the mouth.

Drop by drop.

The color of blood red bloomed in the snow on the ground, red and white contrasted, extra beautiful.

At this time, I couldn’t help laughing.

But with this smile, the hot things that have been gathered in the eyes also flowed down, mixed with the blood that was constantly pouring out of the corner of my mouth, and followed my steps, dripping all the way red.

The footsteps were already heavy and I couldn’t move. I bent down, and every step I took, holding on to the icy red wall next to me, could support myself not to fall, because I knew that the palace door was ahead.

Just ahead.

At the beginning, I was only one step away from the palace door, but he was blocked in the door forever, but this time, this time-

I gritted my teeth, more blood poured out of my mouth, my limbs and five bodies seemed to burn in the flames, but the pain caused me to take a few more steps.

But in the last step, I finally couldn’t support it.

The dazzling sunlight overhead shook everything, and I fell into the snow.

The snow fell on my face and flew on me. The cold feeling seemed to bury me all over the world.

Really?

But the stone steps are just ahead.

I can see the cold stone steps, the high threshold, and the Zhu Qi gate.

It took me so much effort to get here. Is it really impossible?

I raised my head vigorously and looked at the open palace door in front of me. The severe pain in my whole body almost made my eyes darker, gradually, and even the last light was no longer visible.

Tears poured out like a dyke.

I laughed.

Laughter echoed in the cold red wall, like the cry of a ghost and a lament, even with her unwillingness.

Really?

I really can only stay at this step?

I laughed so hard that the tears were hot and the big drops dripped. Not only did I curl up, but shivered slightly in the snow, and even melted the snow under my face.

I really, can’t even finish this step even if I die?

…

Just then, a very light footsteps came from behind.

Walked to my side, stopped, and then stretched out a hand, gently lifted me up.

I had been tortured by the severe pain in my body, my muscles and bones were broken, and I didn’t even have the strength to lift my head. I just felt a warm hand reaching out, wiping my mouth, the corner of my eyes, and then holding my face.

“Lightness.”

“…”

“Are you okay?”

This voice-is Chang Qing?

I was holding her face and looked at her softly.

“Queen … mother …”

In her sight, her figure suddenly blurred and suddenly became clear again.

The pale, dignified and beautiful face seemed to have tears, but her eyes were smiling.

She said, “OK?”

“I–“

With that said, I have no energy to speak.

She smiled: “Looks like you can’t do it.”

“…”

“Let me do it.”

After speaking, she helped me to slowly stand up, but after all, her strength was small, and she could even feel under the heavy dress, her body was already weak and thin to the limit, as if something had been taken away It seems.

I rested on her shoulders, almost crushing her.

I could only say silently, “Queen … Queen … I–, don’t–“

“You needn’t say anything, I know.”

She leaned on me and said with a smile, “I know what you want.”

“…”

“I’m here to help you.”

“Why, why …?”

“why?”

She turned her head and looked at me with a smile: “You forgot, what did you promise?”

“…”

“You promised me that if one day you are only one step away from the palace gate, let me have to–“

Speaking of which, her voice was astringent, and a few drops of hot stuff slipped off her face and fell onto me.

After struggling hard for a long time, she gritted her teeth and insisted, “I will help you to complete this last step.”

“…”

“Lightness, let’s go.”

At this moment, my mind was blank, I couldn’t remember what I had agreed with her, I couldn’t remember what I said.

I just looked around, with her help, looked up, and looked at the high threshold in front of me.

This step-

This step!

I felt that my breathing was a bit difficult. The whole person was convulsing with pain. The black and red blood kept pouring out of his mouth, like a broken blood bag. At this moment, there was nothing left, and Chang Qing couldn’t help crying. When she got up, she clenched my hand and said forcefully, “Lightness!”

“…”

“No lightness!”

“…”

“Lightness, you remember, you still have this step to go, you have to go out!”

“…”

“Lightness!”

Everything at this moment was vanished in her cry, I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t hear anything. Under the painful torture, I just felt that the sky was spinning, the whole person Fall forward.

I fell out of that door!

“Lightness!”

Chang Qing shouted aloud, hurriedly sat down on his knees, and hugged me vigorously: “Lightness! Lightness!”

Her cry seemed to come from a long distance, I looked up, I could not see her, I just felt a drop of hot tears falling on my face, and she hugged me hard, regardless of me A lot of blood spewed from her mouth dyed her dress red, and hugged me tightly.

It seems that at this moment, the last bit of warmth in life is held tight.

And I was warm to the last point in my life, and slightly smiled.

Blood and tears are intertwined at this moment.

A wind blows.

I slowly closed my eyes in the bright sun above my head.

At this moment, the sun was just right.
