Chapter 4 Think again, extermination

The thirteen women lay in **, listening to the sound of Chu Jiangping's flute, and smiled helplessly. Doesn't he know that such a song has lost its hypnotic effect on her? For five years, as long as she wakes up from a nightmare at night, there will always be such a flute sound. She knows that he must want her to have a good sleep, but now it has lost its effect on her.

His flute is said to be the only gift given to him by Xin'er. He usually carries it with him, never touches it, and never easily takes it out. He only plays a song in the dead of night, and there is endless lovesickness hidden in the song. Since you love so much, why do you want to let go? Thirteen Niang lies in **. She has been thinking about this question for nearly five years, but she has never figured it out.

Close your eyes, everything that happened eight years ago is still vivid in my mind, and my heart keeps hurting and bleeding.

It was a stormy night. Yun'er, the maid, hurried to her palace and woke her up in her dream: "Mother, Madam, I heard that the general riwed the enemy and the Shangguan government has been surrounded by the emperor. This time, the emperor said, "I will not let it go!" She was still asleep and suddenly woke up when she heard these words.

Bearing the enemy?! What a crime. If it is really true, then their Shangguan family will kill the nine clans! She looked at Yun'er in a blank way. What should she do? But she doesn't believe that her father would do such a thing. Not to mention his friendship with the previous emperor, even for the sake of this country, he will never betray the country! Obviously, someone framed me, but the emperor is angry. What should I do?

"Yun'er, where is the emperor? I'm going to see him!" As long as she can see the emperor, she can let the emperor investigate this matter thoroughly. The emperor has just stabilized the forces of all parties in the court, but suddenly this matter will happen. He is bound to give everyone a shock, but can you not take the Shangguan family to drive?

"The emperor ordered that no one was seen, and even the empress dowager was blocked by the emperor, not to mention you! If you have the heart, hurry up and save your wife!" Yun'er said in a low voice.

She knew that Yun'er was her mother's maid, so her feelings for her mother had exceeded that of ordinary master and servant. They are like sisters. I'm afraid it's for her mother to hear such news so late? But what can she do now? She can't even go out of this palace now. What else can she do?

She and Yun'er stayed together like that, listening to the thunderstorm outside until dawn. After dressing up, Thirteen Niang is ready to see the emperor. She has figured out that no matter what, she will see the emperor and let him thoroughly investigate the case no matter what. No matter how hard evidence it was, she didn't believe that her father would do such a thing.

Before people could get out of the palace, an imperial edict had appeared in front of the thirteen women. The decree was issued by Xiao Yingzi, the man who grew up with the emperor. He looked at the young thirteen women with some difficulty and read the imperial edict word by word: "By heaven, the emperor's edict said: Shangguan, the general of the town, went on an expedition to betray the enemy and betrayed the country three days later. The man of the Shangguan family asked to be be beheaded five days later. The women did not care about the old and young, because her daughter was already the queen of the State of Yan, so she was exempted. Go to die and stay in the palace, but since then, you can't leave the palace for half a step.

After reading the imperial edict, Thirteen Niang had already fainted to the ground. How can he be so cruel to her? He should know that without her parents, she would have nothing in the world, but he didn't ask and killed her parents! Official prostitute, what kind of place is that? Even if she is so young now and knows where it is, how can a person as tall as her mother go there? That's equivalent to forcing her mother to die!

Xiao Yingzi looked at the pale man who fell to the ground, sighed and handed over the imperial edict to Yun'er: "Mother Yun, take this imperial edict for the Queen! This time, it is really full of human and material evidence, and there is a mountain of solid evidence, and General Shangguan has all pleaded guilty. By the way, Mrs. Shangguan has been taken back to the Prime Minister's mansion by Prime Minister Yang. Let the Empress mourn!" After saying that, the man with the decree turned around and walked out of the gorgeous palace.

When Thirteen Niang woke up, it was already noon. She didn't care about lunch. She quickly got up, tidyed up her clothes and makeup, and walked to the imperial study. She must fight for an ordinary opportunity for her father in these three days, otherwise, more than 200 people in the Shangguan family may not have a chance to live.

At the door of the study, Xiao Yingzi stopped her: "Queen, you can't go in. The emperor said that he didn't want to see anyone." She stood at the door disappointed and asked in a daze, "Am I not seen?" Xiao Yingzi looked at her lost spirit and nodded seriously.

She really had no way to go. For her closest person, she ploped, knelt down and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, please investigate the case of my concubine's father again. He is wronged!" There was a sound, like a cuckoo crying a blood ape, but the door of the study was closed and there was not even a sound.

She knelt down from noon of the red sun to the evening, and the water did not come in. The emperor came out of the room, only looked at her, and said coldly, "Go back!" She shook her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate General Shangguan's case again. He has been wronged!" The emperor wanted to stretch out his hand to pull her up. She just kept kowtowing and muttered to ask the emperor to re-examine the matter. He swept his sleeves and said, "Go back. These things are not what you should take care of."

"I won't go back, please investigate again!" She is firm and persistent. The emperor shook his sleeves fiercely and turned to leave. Before leaving, he only said one sentence: "If you are willing to kneel, just kneel!" However, in three days, Shangguan's expedition will be beheaded. At that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch his last journey. The cold voice gradually faded away as he went away.

She knelt in front of his study like that. Although he never came back after he left the study, she still knelt like that and she knew he could see it. Yun'er sent her a cloak and wanted to persuade her to go back to the palace, but in the end, she returned without success, so she had to kneel in front of the study with her, hoping that the emperor could change his will.

Until noon the next day, she was unconscious due to severe dehydration and could not see the emperor. She was in a coma for three days until she woke up, when she was still weak and had a high fever. When she woke up, Yun'er told her that half an hour later would be when the 106 men of the Shangguan family were beheaded. She no longer cared about her physical weakness and her high fever, and hurriedly sent someone to arrange a car for her to drive towards the Meridian Gate.

The emperor's bright yellow sat there, and she was no longer in the mood to look at his expression. Only the more than 100 people under the knife were left in her eyes. Row after row, standing in the sun like that. Grandpa has loose hair, and his gray hair is particularly dazzling in the sun. Next to him stood the uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle and the fifth uncle, and the rest of the people knelt behind them in turn.

She hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards the crowd, shouting constantly, "Your Majesty, you can't do this. They are wronged." When the voice came out, the emperor's cold voice had also sounded in the sun, but it made people a little chill: "Cut!" A word, without any temperature, couldn't help but stay where she was. Is he so cruel? The man who stood under the peach tree and said he wanted to marry her was so cruel to her! It took so many people's lives in just one word.

The knife raised the head and fell down. She only saw the blood rain all over the sky. Strangely, just as their heads landed, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the sky was gloomy, and the pouring rain fell in an instant. She stood still like that, her eyes full of red blood, spewing out over and over again.

What's the use of her being a queen? In the end, I didn't watch my relatives die in front of my eyes. She thought she would go crazy, but no, God was so cruel that she survived.

Her grandfather was still kneeling there, motionless, as if in front of him. Although he has never loved her, after all, it was her grandfather and his relatives. She slowly walked towards her grandfather's body, held his head in her arms, and carefully wiped his grandfather's face. In fact, she didn't need to wipe it. His grandfather's face had been washed clean by the rain. She wiped it over and over again. She knew that her grandfather was clean. No matter what, his hair was always meticulous and there were never wrinkles on his clothes, but he left like this. His blood was stained and his clothes were ragged.

"Grandpa, wait for Qinger to wipe it clean for you. Qing'er is really useless. Why can't it be wiped clean? Grandpa, grandpa..." With a sound, she gently pressed her little face to the head, carefully, as if holding a treasure. Grandpa, wait and wait for Qinger to wipe it clean for you. Grandpa..." There were no tears in her eyes, but the rain kept falling, but her eyes were still full of blood. So she kept wiping her grandfather's face with her hands over and over again.

The blood has been washed away by the rain, and there is no one on the execution ground except her. In the place where she sheltered from the rain in the distance, the emperor looked at her coldly on the high platform and ordered Xiao Yingzi to take her back to the palace. Xiao Yingzi looked at such a depressed person and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart: "Empress, you'd better go back to the palace. People can't come back to life after death. My condolences, let's go ahead!" He covered the sky above her head and the heavy rain. And she sat there quietly, holding the head and kept muttering, "Grandpa..." She knew that Grandpa had never liked her since she was a child, because she was Yang Xueji's daughter, so he never looked at her, but after all, he was his closest relative, and how could that person be so cruel? That one word ended the lives of so many people?

Master Shangguan still opened his eyes and looked at the world. She carefully closed his eyes, but he still opened them. Grandpa, you have been wronged, right? When Qinger grows up, Qinger will definitely avenge you! Just rest in peace!" She can do nothing, and that's all she can do.

"Empress..." Xiao Yingzi urged her again. She has been in a coma for three days and just woke up. How can she withstand such heavy rain? Seeing that she was still still, Xiao Yingzi had to call a few guards, dragged her away and sent her back to the palace.

Later, Yun'er told her that the Shangguan Expedition, that is, her father was beheaded the day after she was in a coma. Yang Xueji was taken back to the prime minister's mansion before the emperor's decree, but she hanged herself in the prime minister's mansion at the same moment when the emperor's expedition was beheaded. Yang Xueji was forced by Prime Minister Yang to press her fingerprints on the letter of divorce and was brought back to the prime minister's mansion. But the young lady said that she was born as a member of the Shangguan expedition and died as a ghost of the Shangguan expedition. She said that she told the general that she would live as a coward and die in the same cave, so she followed the general.

When she heard this, there were no tears in her eyes for a long time. Instead, she smiled, like Manzhu Shahua swaying in the wind. Yun'er looked at her laughing like that, knew the pain in her heart, and let her go.

"M Mother Yun, bring me my piano. I want to play a song." She suddenly saw her mother under the magnolia tree, with slender fingers, playing with the lyre, and her father was a jasper flute. They should be together, right?! This time, I'm afraid it's really as they wish. They can watch the flowers bloom and fall side by side in front of the court, and they will never be separated again.

But what about father, mother and Qing'er? What do you want Qinger to do?

Full of blood, red eyes...

When the song bullet came out, it turned out to be a song "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms". Dad, mother, and daughter are unfilial, but no one has been saved; the daughter is unfilial, and she hasn't even seen you for the last time; the daughter is unfilial, and she has not been happy since she left you at the age of six, and now she is separated by yin and yang! Daughter, unfilial, is very unfilial!!

Tears kept dripping in the sound of the piano, little by little, making a subtle sound on the strings, and finally turned blood red. Yun'er was shocked and had to order the little maid in the palace to quickly invite the royal doctor, but no one could persuade her. It was not until she finished playing a plum blossom three times before she fainted and was taken to the phoenix couch by Yuner, and the imperial doctor hastily examined her.

These things go into dreams every day, and now she is used to it. So she never goes to bed early at night. She is afraid of such dreams. Her eyes were stained with blood and red, and she was trapped in the chaos and couldn't get out.

Hearing her even breathing, Chu Jiangping put away the jade flute, tucked her quilt well, shook his head, and left her boudoir with a smile. From the moment he saved her, he knew that this woman was definitely not an ordinary woman, but when she woke up, she didn't want to say anything, but that she was hurt by her enemies. He didn't know why he was moved. He taught her martial arts, taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she could become his person and also go to revenge on his enemies, but now he doesn't know whether this is right or wrong!
