Chapter 177 Unfathomable 6
I smiled faintly and retreated. He didn't say anything, and the silence behind him was terrible. Looking back, I saw that he went in the same direction as the maids with rewards. I sighed softly and laughed at myself at the corners of my mouth.
I pretended to be light, but he also had a light face. I hurt me and even hated it, but I still couldn't help trembling slightly and at a loss. He went in the opposite direction from me, and his heart was no longer on me, and there was still his faint musk on his clothes, as if laughing at my infatuation.
I have thought about revenge thousands of times, and the best revenge in the world is to forget! And he retaliated against me.
I shook my head, ordered the maid to be in charge, and then went back to the hall to rest.
About half a day later, someone came in at the temple gate. I sat up from the soft collapse and looked at the person below: "Have you asked? Why did the emperor search and listen to the bamboo pavilion? Why did he go under house arrest?
The maid in charge of the matter nodded and replied, "It was Lord Xiao of Dali Temple who found that there were forbidden objects hidden in the bamboo pavilion. After the search, the evidence was conclusive. The emperor was furious and punished for house arrest, but... the situation seems to have become serious."
I was surprised and asked, "What do you say?"
The maid in charge of the palace said, "Lord Xiao also found that Cai Chongrong framed the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau, so that he killed Song Fengyu in vain and forced Mrs. Gu to commit suicide. This is a serious crime, and the crime should be punished!"
In the past, Li Shimin has made so many mistakes, but now his men are ruthless. I'm still not sure to ask, "Your Majesty... have you decided to kill Cai Rong?"
The maid in charge replied, "I heard from Grandpa Zhou that the decree has been drawn up."
I stood up and said, "Go to the Liangyi Hall."
At the gate of the Liangyi Hall, I saw that Euke Zhou had already held the imperial edict and was about to go out. I stopped and asked him to wait for a moment. He entered the hall with me. Li Shimin looked puzzled when he saw the undeclared imperial edict in the hands of Duke Zhou again. I straightened my body and said, "My concubine has taken care of something, and I would like to ask the emperor to promise one thing."
He didn't say anything, just put down the pen in his hand, his eyes were like a pool, and looked at me deeply. I turned my eyes away, avoided his eyes, and said slowly: "The concubine is very sad about the death of Song Fengyu and Mrs. Gu. I begged the emperor to let me die in person!"
Li Shimin was stunned and persuaded, "Xi Ran, why do you... go in person? She is crazy. I'm afraid she will hurt you."
I said persistently: "There are many palace people around me, and she won't do anything to me. Please promise my concubine."
He hesitated for a moment and nodded. Then he shouted outside the hall, "Come on, follow Concubine De to listen to the Bamboo Pavilion. Don't let the crazy woman hurt her, or they will come to see her with their heads!"
He is still worried. What he is afraid of is what he will say to me. He knew Zhou Molan's skills around me, but he still wanted to send these guards. These guards are actually his killers. As long as she opens her mouth to the relevant person, she will die immediately. I smiled from the bottom of my heart and stood up to leave. He suddenly stopped me from standing in front of me, stroked my cheeks, and his eyes were sad. He opened his mouth, but still swallowed his words and finally turned into a sigh: "It's over."
The voice was very soft, and I heard it clearly and didn't ask. I bowed my head and forced a strong smile. I retreated and left the Liangyi Hall. There was still the warmth of his palm on his cheek, and the sun hit him warmly, but for some reason, he felt inexplicably cold in the bottom of his heart.
I brought the bamboo pavilion. The picking qian in the house arrest was not as haggard as I thought. After all, she occupied Li Shimin's favor for several years. I didn't say anything. The maid in charge of the palace drank the palace people and retreated. The guards sent by Li Shimin still stood in the hall. My eyes were fierce, so they had to stand outside the door, and their ears must be facing here.
The hall was quiet and cold. I took out a porcelain bottle from my sleeve, took the wine glass brought by the maid in charge, and personally poisoned the urn in front of the picking. When Caihui saw me pour the juice from the small porcelain bottle into the wine, he immediately understood what I was going to do, pointed at me and shouted in panic, "What are you doing?" Do you want to kill me? You are not afraid of the emperor's fault!"
I picked up the glass and was weak all over, but I could barely smile gently: "Your Majesty? This palace is ordered by the emperor to personally give you poisoned wine. Do you drink it yourself... or will I force you to drink it? The smile on my face was so strange that she couldn't help shaking her head staring at the poisoned wine in my hand. I put down my glass and smiled softly at her: "What a beautiful face, what a smart head, and what a calculating heart, but these are useless. But if you want to live, it's very simple. As long as you tell me everything, I can escort you out of the palace with all my strength!"
Picking a sharp eyebrow and complacently: "Hahahaha, that's what you're thinking. In the end... you don't know anything. What's the point of winning so much?
After turning a regular face, I asked again, "What do you think it is?"
"Hahaha, I won't tell you!" She strode, grabbed the wine glass in my hand, raised her head and drank the poisoned wine. I was shocked by her sudden behavior, and she would rather die! She licked her wet lips, as if she were smelling the smell of wine. A creepy rushed straight to my forehead from the soles of my feet, and I couldn't help trembling. She looked at me with a sadistic smile and said gently: "He could have killed me, but... the king of a powerful country, who was in power, would be willing to indulge me for a woman. When he couldn't strangle this secret, he had to carefully confess me! Now, he wants to kill me, because he has no scruples about me at all. If he kills me, no one will ever know this secret, and no one will ever threaten him. But I won't tell you, because I want to watch you suffer from this unopenable mystery for a lifetime! Do you know why Shang Pharmacy Fengyu and your good sister Mrs. Gu died? Since she could find out that I changed the medicine list, why didn't she check it at the beginning? Because of his jealousy, because of his selfish desire, he will take advantage of it. He will keep the one who knows this matter!"
My chest was suddenly overwhelmed by these words. I fell down on the chair, and my nails were fiercely embedded in the palm of my hand. She approached step by step and smiled more and more presumptuously: "What will it be like to see the people around you killed by beloved men one by one? You have already realized it, haven't you? But this is not over yet. These people are not dead yet. Just wait to watch this good scene! Hahahaha!"
I stood up and tried to stabilize my body. I heard my voice trembling: "Piteqian! Tell me what he tried his best to hide!"
She laughed even more: "What's the matter? Ask yourself first! Hahahaha!"
I slowly shook my head with a little sad eyes. I don't know why this woman hates me so much: "Enail, why do you hate me so much?"
She stopped her messy footsteps and her face became more and more ferocious. Because of the poisoned wine, she was unable to support the chair behind her, and her eyes stared at me fiercely: "You and I used to be inferior maids. I wanted to climb up, so I seduced the former prince! But the former prince refused me and called me a bitch, just because of you, his mind was on you! I can't see what attracts you. Not only the former prince, but also the emperor of the King of Qin fell in love with you at that time! No matter how much I and the former crown princess hurt you, you can always turn bad luck into good luck. First, he took charge, then became Zhaoxun, and in the last step, he became a German concubine! And I... can only stay in the court. How can you be? How can you be? Why can't I sit in a seat? Besides, you don't deserve this seat!"
said too hard, she suddenly choked a few times, and her pale face added a little blood red. She suddenly laughed and shook her head at me: "But now it's all right. I've worked hard for so many years, at least I've done my glory and wealth. What I want is so simple, and you, what if you win everything, you are just the saddest and poorest person in the end! You want a person's wholeheartedness and sincerity, which is more difficult than climbing to the sky!"
I sighed secretly and said, "I didn't win, it's you who won!"
"Is it me who won? Did I win? Hahahaha, in the end, I won! Mo Xiran, with a secret, you can't beat me, you can never beat me!" She laughed crazily, the rotating sleeves swept across the table, and the crisp sound of the porcelain cup hit my heart. Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly. Her raised face was stunned, and the fiery red petals between her eyebrows were slightly folded. A dark red drowned from the corners of her mouth, scratched her neck, and drew a touching shame. I held the corner of the chair tightly and watched her stiff body, which was still dancing wildly, and fell straight to the ground. Her ecstatic eyes were open, and the laughter at the corners of her mouth had been relaxed, and only the poisonous blood had slipped from it.
There was a smell of blood in the hall. I wanted to vomit, covered my mouth and stumbled out of the bamboo pavilion. The maid in charge of the palace caught up with me and quickly called the palace people to help me back to Deqing Palace.
The words kept echoing in my mind. Song Yi's death, Nian'er's death, and her death are all because of that secret, because of me? My heart hurts so much that I can't breathe. The more I struggle, the more I have no way back! I suddenly remembered that Li Shimin allowed Nian'er to come to see me that day. Her words and every subtle expression she was miserable. She must know that she won't live long. Until Song Yi died, Li Shimin had an excuse to kill her, and she had already cut herself off!
Why, why did it become like this! I began to think about everything carefully when I entered the palace 20 years ago, but I couldn't find any clues, and I couldn't even doubt it. There is a big pimple in my heart, and I can't eradicate it. I can only watch it grow up day by day. The death of Song Yi and Nian'er, as well as what Cai Er said, finally overwhelmed me. The weather is getting warmer in spring, but I feel colder. Li Shimin kept ordering to deliver soup, but I didn't want to drink tea, ate and vomited, and finally slept on the couch day by day.
