Chapter 176 Unfathomable 5
Incoherent crime! Do you think I have a relationship with Song Yi? Isn't that what Li Shimin thought at that time? Now he does this again, whether he believes me or not.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dark and the heavy rain suddenly fell. I sat in front of the window, holding a basket of moon season in my hand and looking at the thunder in the distance. There was no light in the hall, and the dazzling light flashed out one by one, which was frightening and sad. There seemed to be a distant fragrance of blood in the wind. I took a deep breath and trembled all over. I took off a few petals of the moon, sprinkled a piece of blood red outside the window, and was holding a silent memorial service.
A shadow came in from outside the palace door. A maid lit the candlelight, and one of them knelt behind me and whispered: "Empress, Song Fengyu has beheaded him in Chang'an City."
The fingertips hurt, and the silver thorns on the rose pole pierced my fingers and penetrated into my nails, which was shocking. Behind him, there was a figure in a hurry, calling me, but it was an abrupt sign. I turned my head and came the maid in charge. Her face was nervous and there was something hidden in her mouth. Feeling my cold eyes, the maid in charge blinked and gritted her teeth and said in one breath: "Mrs. Gu shielded Song Fengyu to plot to kill the king of Qi, and the emperor ordered Mrs. Gu to death!"
"Give me death!" My legs were soft, holding the edge of the window, and the wooden window was squeaking and swaying by me, empty and empty. Song Yi is dead, and Li Shimin still wants to kill Nian'er. How can he be so vicious and unreasonable! Nian'er, Nian'er..." I stretched out my hand and motioned the maid in charge to hold me, and my feet staggered softly, "Go to the Liangyi Hall and I'll beg him!"
I hurried to the Liangyi Hall. He sat calmly, looked at me with inquisitive eyes, and squeezed his lips tightly. I lowered my eyes slightly, stroked my sleeves and knelt in the center of the hall. He put down the scroll in his hand and asked as if he didn't know my intention, "What is Concubine De doing? If you have something to say, just talk to me."
I cried and my voice trembled a little. I was afraid or frightened: "Gu Nian'er is a good sister who has entered the palace until now. I beg the emperor to spare Gu Nian'er's life!"
And he vetoed: "Impossible! Gu Nian'er has committed the crime of covering up, and I will cut the grass and eradicate it!"
I pressed my head and kowtowed three times. He stood up from his position, his palms trembled and clenched into fists, and his eyes were heavy and heartbroken. With a sob, the tears couldn't stop breaking on the cold stone. I tried to calm my voice and said, "My concubine begged the emperor to let go of Gu Nian'er, and my concubine begged the emperor..."
"Enough!" He interrupted and stepped off the stage, "The court has so many eyes watching, how do you want me to help you!" He said resolutely, trying to pull me up. I dodged his palm, looked up at him, and laughed at myself: "The emperor is the Ming emperor, and he should not be selfish because of anyone. In the case of Song Fengyu, you and I all know whether the emperor is for the national law or selfishness.
His hand was in mid-air, and then slowly tightened: "Do you know? You know my painstaking efforts, why do you still fight against me!"
I shook my head and lowered my voice: "I only saw the emperor's selfishness without painstaking efforts."
"You..." Li Shimin was about to be angry. There was a news outside the door that the eunuch he sent came back, submissively got into the hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Gu Nianer has committed suicide in the house."
I suddenly turned around and shouted to the eunuch who came to report, "What are you talking about! What's wrong with her!"
The eunuch looked up slightly and saw that Li Shimin did not mean to stop him. He said, "Go back... Reply to the Empress, Gu Nian'er committed suicide by taking poison in Song Mansion."
"Nian'er...Nian'er!" I can't hear it more clearly. I muttered, tears couldn't stop flowing down my eyes, my heart was colic, and my throat was hard to breathe. For a moment, I was dizzy. I clung to my clothes and put one hand on the ground, feeling uncomfortable that I couldn't speak. Li Shimin was shocked and protected me and asked me what was wrong. I pushed him away, but I lost my balance and fell back. Hearing the maid in charge of the palace scream, a sharp pain shook my head, and my whole body was drained. I only felt the buzzing in my ears, and my eyes were dark, and I vaguely felt that someone was holding me up.
I had a dream that I couldn't extricate myself. There was a white light in front of me, and there was nothing in it. I went back and forth and finally couldn't get out of the fog. I smelled a faint pungent fragrance between my noses, and I came back to wake up, and the most familiar figure appeared in front of me.
Before I fully woke up, I had grabbed his hand and embedded my nails into his skin. His figure gradually became clear. I looked at him with hatred, and my voice was infinitely desolate: "Why are you so cruel? Why do you want to kill him? Is this the result you want? Kill everyone around me and watch me die in pain! What a cruel means!"
He whispered, "You are sick. Have a good rest."
I laughed silently with tears in the corners of my eyes: "The person who knows my sick body is dead. Are you still going to want me to live well?"
He looked at me quietly and said calmly, "There are still people with high medical skills in the world, and I will find them for you."
I still sneered: "No matter how high the medical skills are, do you still want to go against the sky and live immortality?" I was panicked and suddenly felt that this was a little familiar. The arrow of Li Shimin, who was in me more than ten years ago, gradually came to my mind. "I want to take you to see the flowers and the oleanders planted all over the mountains; I will take you to pick the stars at night and put a basket of stars; I will take you to find the art of long life, and I want you to always be by my side." This is what he said in those years.
Looking for the art of immortality, always by his side... This ridiculous oath is so ridiculous!
I smiled bitterly and looked at Li Shimin desolately for so long. Without saying another word, I closed my eyes tiredly and turned my back. He has done so many sad things, and he has hurt me too completely. From the sadness spreading in his heart to his fingertips and heels, he was in great pain! That's the fall, it's persistence, it's psychedelic. I was so drunk in his city.
Gently stroked the back of his hand, and he held my hand and put his face on my back: "There will be a long time to go. I will tell you that... slowly."
His compromise touched a softness in my heart. Tears slipped from my closed eyes, and my cheeks were moist. He picked me up and leaned me on his shoulder. My heart sank slightly and sighed gently. Outside the door, Grandpa Zhou suddenly asked to see him. The people behind him remembered something, bowed his head and told him to gently help me lie on the bed. I looked at his departure and sank weakly in silence.
How can I face your sentence for a long time?
The candlelight in front of the table stained me with a headache. I closed my eyes and a spinning black suddenly appeared in front of me. I was deeply immersed in it and couldn't grasp anything, let alone whether I was floating or down. At this endless time, the black slowly turned into a thousand-layer huge wave, which made me tremble all over, and then instantly turned into a quiet lake. The water surface was frozen and cold. There was a clear and ethereal drop of water in his ear. Looking back, he turned into bronze for a moment.
I opened my eyes in panic, and there was rain in my ears. It was raining. I called the maid, put on my robe and opened the window. The flowers in the backyard are half blooming and half falling, and the remnants are spread on the road. In this endless spring rain, they are very sad and beautiful.
The maid reminded me not to catch a cold. I turned around and inadvertently looked at the hanger on the side. His robe was left here. I stared quietly, and then sighed secretly, sitting in a soft collapse, distracted for no reason.
Since that day, I haven't seen Li Shimin for several days. The continuous spring rain finally stopped, and I looked through the window at the spring outside. Yan'er flies, and people are independent. After sighing again and again, I was still afraid of being indifferent. I'm afraid of loneliness, and I'm even more afraid of indifference, especially his indifference! He killed Song Yi and hurt Nian'er. I hated him, but why couldn't I hold on in my heart? I was melted by this entangled spring rain, resentment... I can't stay in my heart! Is it because love is too much?
For more than half a month, the spring rain finally stopped. The sky turned blue and the wind was warm, but I felt cold at this time, and my body became more and more difficult. I like the quietness when spring first comes, the flowers are half blooming and half closed, the sun is half warm and half cool, and I smell the fragrance of soil floating in from the window. I still decided to walk outside.
The palace has become so fast. As soon as the spring rain passed, all the flower pots in front of the hall have changed to a new look, full of vitality. What has become faster is the favor in this palace. The palace people who used to listen to the bamboo pavilion are the most, but no one has gone there today. The maid in charge of the palace told me that Li Shimin searched the bamboo pavilion for some reason the day before yesterday, and now he is under house arrest. I sighed that the secret between Li Shimin and Cai Ner was a pimple in my heart after all.
At this time, two rows of palace people came from the front road. I looked at this row of palace people going in the direction of the harem with gifts, and my voice was a little trance: "But is there a new favorite?"
The maid in charge of the palace stood forward and paused: "These are Yan Zhaoyi's cousins, the rewards of martial arts talents."
There was a pain in my heart, and I tried to ask calmly, "I haven't selected a newcomer this year. How did she enter the palace?"
The maid in charge of the palace replied: "Wu Cairen entered the palace last year and has not received holy grace. It was not until ten days ago that the emperor suddenly summoned her and was awarded the title of Wucai Man." She looked up at me and continued in a low voice, "Forgive me for being talkative. It's not surprising that the woman in the harem was favored overnight. Twenty years of the Empress and the emperor are the most precious. I believe the emperor knows best. For them, perhaps for the sake of power, but for the mother with a clean background, it is absolutely different.
I reluctantly smiled, looked at the new buds on the branches, and sighed: "The beauty of my palace is exhausted, which is not comparable to the years of other people's cardamom. I can guess who the emperor likes. It's his own thoughts that he loves.
As soon as the voice fell, a shadow came behind me. I was shocked. It was Li Shimin. He stood beside me with his hands behind his back, looked at the palace man with rewards and looked at me, tightening my robe. I meditated slightly and lowered my waist. He picked me up with one hand and smiled gently: "It's still cold. You'd better stay in the hall."
