Chapter 1 The Past is Like Smoke
Over the magnificent imperial city, the dark night sky is particularly low, and the thick night is layered on the bowed palace people. The dark palace lamps cast a dark shadow on the low faces of these people, adding a strange atmosphere to the red palace.
In the door of the tall carved hall, she stood elegantly by the window. Tonight, she did not wear a complicated and gorgeous palace dress, only a long white dress, and the long skirt was spotless without any decoration. The white color made her slender body, which made her particularly slender and thin. Rumo's long hair can be tied up with only a white jade hairpin, and it falls behind it like a waterfall.
"Sister..."
A gentle voice sounded, making Mu Qingya turn around. Mu Xuanming, dressed in bright yellow, was looking at her with a peaceful look. When she was seven years old, Mu Xuanming was three years old. At that time, he was a small and soft person who always called her "royal sister" in such a slightly dependent tone. In a blink of an eye, the child had grown into a handsome and courageous emperor.
"Sister, you have been in poor health. Why are you still standing by the window? In case you catch a cold, you have to take those bitter medicine again? The royal sister always doesn't take care of herself like this! I should really teach the girls around the royal sister a good lesson, and they won't comfort you..." Mu Xuanming's eyes were full of vague concern, and as he spoke, he took the cloak over Mu Qingya's shoulder. The fiery red cloak is embroidered with large peonies, with a sweet fragrance, which stains her white jade-like face with a trace of blush.
"Xuanming, have you been on the throne for more than two years?" Mu Qingya looked at his skillfully fastened cloak belt and asked softly.
Mu Xuanming's hand paused and continued his movements: "Yes, sister, it's been two years and three months. What did the princess say today?"
Mu Qingya shook her head and said "mealing" to the maid beside her, and then sat down at the table and looked at the open palace gate and the dark night. Mu Xuanming tightened her fist, and her back was extremely slender, but it had always been straight and straight. From the beginning of his memory, no matter how difficult the situation she faced, her back had never been bent. Even if she was shot by a feather arrow, she could stand on the high platform and command thousands of troops.
The palace people put the meals on the table in an orderly manner, and then stood quietly aside. Mu Qingya took a look at them: "Go down! Shadow, you can go down too!"
The air fluctuated, and a black figure knelt down on Mu Qingya's skirt: "Princess!"
"Go down!" The voice is still very soft, like a low sigh, but with irresistible firmness and pressure.
Shad his teeth clenched, and his eyes, which had always been unwavered, were full of pain. He knelt straight, banged three heads, and then withdrew from the palace.
Mu Xuanming's body is a little stiff: "Sister, hasn't Ying been guarding the safety of her? How..."
"Nothing, just thinking about it, it seems that I haven't eaten alone with Xuanming for a long time! When we were exiled, you always liked to lean against me and ignore anyone talking to you. At that time, we would enjoy a little food. Now we have returned to the palace and have everything but have never eaten alone. Mu Qingya whispered, and there was no wave in her eyes, "Xuan Ming, won't you pour a glass of wine for the royal sister?"
Mu Xuanming's body trembled, and he almost thought that his plan had been known: "Sister, haven't you always liked to drink? Why do you suddenly want to drink?"
"People will always change..." Mu Qingya picked up the white jade wine pot, held the handle of the pot in one hand, pressed the lid of the pot in the other hand, and poured the clear wine into the wine glass, and the fragrance of silky wine filled the fragrance. "Isn't Xuan Ming also become a king?"
"Sister..." Looking at her holding up the glass, Mu Xuanming clenched his fist and his nails fell into the palm of his hand. Because the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed, his tone was as gentle as before, with a trace of coquettishness.
"Boom!" A muffled thunder resounded through the sky, followed by a thunderbolt, followed by a pouring rain, and a gust of wind blew in from the open window, stirred up the elegant black hair.
Mu Qingya's movements remained, as if the sound of the outside world could not enter her ears. The wine glass slowly approached her lips, and the slightly pale spread with a shallow smile.
"Sister Royal!" Mu Xuanming quickly walked to Mu Qingya and grabbed the glass. The wine in the glass spilled her hand. She noticed that her movements were too abrupt. She quickly explained, "Sister, you're not in good health. Don't drink. I'll accompany you to eat with my sister!"
Mu Qingya stared into his eyes: "Xuanming, do you know that every time you are nervous, your eyelashes will always tremble more than usual. You are now a king. This problem should be changed. You can't let the ministers know your mind easily, but if you want to use this to manipulate your ministers, you can also think You should know that you have done a good job in the past two years!"
He took the glass and filled it with wine again, and drank it in Mu Xuanming's panicked eyes: "This wine is good!"
"Sister Royal!" The string in his heart suddenly broke, as if he had been pulled away from him. Mu Xuanming knelt down at Mu Qingya's feet with a bang, "Royal doctor! Pass on the imperial doctor!"
"Don't come in!" Mu Qingya shouted coldly, and the movement at the door immediately calmed down.
"Sister, poison in wine, poison in wine, royal sister..." The young emperor lost his usual calmness and clenched Mu Qingya's sleeves like a child. He should not have done this. Although the royal sister had a great influence in the court, she has never done anything to threaten the throne. How could he listen? I believed the advice of several ministers!
The colic from her abdomen made Mu Qingya's face paler. Since she helped Mu Xuanming block an arrow, her health has been bad. No matter how many tonics there are, her face has never been stained with a blush: "As a king, I'm not involved in love. I'm very happy that you can make this choice. As a qualified The emperor will not allow a person with greater influence than him to exist. The royal sister understands...cough..."
Mu Xuanming knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Sister! My brother is obsessed with such a rebellious thing. Don't say anything, royal sister, royal doctor, royal doctor..."
Bum! The heavy palace door was suddenly knocked open, and a slender figure stepped into the hall. The rain fell to the ground. Mo Junqing's footsteps staggered a little. He couldn't find a trace of usual killing and decisiveness on his handsome face, and only the slender figure was left in his eyes.
"Princess!"
Mu Qingya looked at the door, and her calm eyes moved slightly. The poison had begun to work. The severe colic blurred her vision, but she still saw the anxious face: "Junqing, you are here..."
Mo Junqing walked over and held the figure in his arms. At this moment, he no longer cares about the difference between monarchs and ministers, and no longer cares about men and women. The tearing pain in his heart made him want to roar but was suppressed: "Princess..."
Mu Qingya raised her hand with difficulty and stroked the face with rain. This face should have been unparalleled and unparalleled, but unfortunately it was destroyed for her, but the warmth in those eyes has never changed. Although he was soaked, he still had the warmth of attachment. The most sorry thing in her life was This man has never married her, ruined her appearance for her, and has never given him a response. He should have galloped to the battlefield, make contributions, and then be accompanied by a beautiful family, instead of like this: "Junqing, in the next life... don't... meet me again... ”
"Princess, it is Junqing's lifelong wish to meet the princess and serve you!" Mo Junqing held the cold hand tightly, trying to give her a little warmth, and his deep eyes were full of regretless tenderness.
Mu Qingya smiled, and her smile was no longer estranged and indifferent. Her eyes were stained with a little naiveness and purity. Speaking of which, she was just a 19-year-old girl, and her cheeks rubbed against Mo Junqing's chest with difficulty: "Junqing... It's very warm! Warm..."
Mo Junqing's tears fell one after another and fell on the pale face without blood. He wanted to hug her with all his strength, but he was worried that he would hurt her too much: "Princess likes it, Junqing has been holding the princess!"
Mu Qingya shook her head, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with a trace of bright red: "No... Junqing... look for... find... poof..." A big mouthful of blood gushed out, and warm blood sprinkled all over Mo Junqing's chest!
"Princess!"
"Sister Royal!"
Through the confused sight, Mu Qingya did not look at Mu Xuanming, who was kneeling on the ground, but looked at the rain curtain outside the palace gate and the sky outside the rain curtain. Mo Junqing picked her up and walked to the door of the palace. Outside the door, the maid and slave knelt on the ground. Mu Qingya had no strength to speak and let them get up. Finally, she took a look at the imperial city that had exhausted her life's efforts and slowly closed her eyes!
"Princess!" "Princess!" The cry resounded through the Jade Hall.
The palace maid Lvyuan stood up and walked step by step to Mu Xuanming, who was completely stunned on the ground. Her voice sounded like a cuckoo's blood: "Your Majesty, the queen died at the age of three. Concubine Li persecuted you and the princess. The princess took you to the people alone. She washed clothes and was beaten by people. When you got the epidemic, she knelt at the door of the pharmacy. I went to seek medical treatment for you for three days, returned to the palace, stopped the assassination for you, and was poisoned for you. Today, without her, even the way of being a king was taught by the princess! How can you bear it, how can you bear it! Princess, God is unfair to you! It's unfair!"
Green Yuan stood up, bowed three heads respectfully to Mu Qingya, and then hit her head on the pillar at the door of the palace: "The maidservant... follow the princess for life!"
Ying walked to Mo Junqing's side: "The princess doesn't like the palace and this bright red palace wall. General Mo, please take the princess away!" After saying that, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the heart.
Mo Junqing held Mu Qingya's cool body, wiped the blood from her mouth with her sleeve, and untied the red cloak on her body, revealing the plain white clothes she was wearing.
The rain stopped without warning, but the silent night sky could not hear the sound of insects and birds. Mo Junqing walked out of the palace with her in his arms!
"Hist, where are you going to take my royal sister?" Mu Xuanming roared in a low voice.
Mo Junqing did not look back: "She has tried her best for this country, her hands are stained with blood, and she has done her best to rectify the chaotic country, but she has never really left the imperial city! Now I want to take her away! Show her the country she spent her life protecting!"
"Hight! You can take my royal sister away!"
"Your Majesty, you have made a choice before the princess and the country! The charm that controls the dark guard is the jade pendant given to you by the princess yesterday! Princess Bingfu has also been returned to the emperor. She has nothing to owe you. Can't you let her go? Please remember that the princess has never wanted to fight for anything. If you really want to fight, you will never have a chance to stand on the throne! As a king, you have done nothing wrong, but she is your sister..."
Mu Xuanming was stunned and watched the plain skirt disappear in the night. Finally, he couldn't help roaring!
"Sister! Elegant!"
How could he really kill her! How could it be! Her eyes were covered with a layer of blood, with a trace of madness, and held the cloak with elegant blood in her arms: "No, the royal sister will not leave me. She will also watch me give her a world of peace... She won't leave, no... Royal sister..."
In the third year of Xuanli, the eldest princess Mu Qingya died in the palace. The emperor ordered the whole country to mourn and mourn the princess! This year, the whole Lanling Kingdom was in grief, and the plain white sand hung all over the imperial city.
Emperor Mu Xuanming changed his previous gentle style and was cold and arbitrary. He killed 18 officials of the same size in the name of disrespect to the princess. The atmosphere of the court was clear. Soon after, he sent troops to neighboring countries and unified the five surrounding countries, achieving a legend in history!
