Li Huang

"Haoyue, you..." I was horrified by her, and I was at a loss, and I just wanted to stretch my hand over her, just like when she was wronged when she was a child, or after receiving punishment from the housekeeper, I comforted her.

She opened the hand I stretched over, and the strength made me take a few steps back.

She stared at me stubbornly, the emotions in her eyes had nowhere to hide.

"I don't understand. Why do you treat the emperor like that, why he still likes you so much! In his eyes, he sees only the things that are similar to you and related to you." Tears welled up in Haoyue's eyes, and she didn't wipe it. , Through the teardrops, the hatred in her eyes intensified.

"I know why the emperor came to see me. It's nothing more than the tea I made that you taught, and the incense I smoked is your habit; it's just because I've been with you for the longest time and know you best; it's nothing, he wants Find your shadow in me, just like other people."

"Haoyue, don't say it!" I drank, not wanting to listen again.

"I want to say, I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't say it today." She gave a weird smile and looked at me.

I looked at her smile and felt a chill coming up from the soles of my feet, which quickly enveloped my whole body and invaded my bones.

"What do you... mean?" My voice was shaking.

"It's nothing." Haoyue relaxed, turned around and put the plates and flasks into the basket one by one, and then slowly turned around, "I just want to finish what I have to say."

I was taken aback and calmed down, and looked at her calmly: "Just tell me."

Haoyue was a little surprised at my calmness, but she grew up with me since childhood, so she naturally knew my temperament.

"Miss, why did you send me to the emperor?" She looked at me sadly, and I opened my mouth to answer, but she continued.

"I know, you want the emperor to think that I am the fairy he met that night, or you know that the emperor will only use me as a substitute, but let me go." She grinned coldly: "Start me I thought, if I became a stand-in, you could continue your indifferent life. After all, if you are kind to me, you would treat me as a repay. But, how did I know that you just used me to lift the emperor’s appetite and let him Never forget the fairy that you met in the winding path, and then, if you show up in front of him again, he will never mind that you are the daughter of the Ling family."

I shook my head. It's not like that. It's because you like Shen Xiyao. I want to fulfill you. As for my subsequent encounter with him, it was just an accident.

But when I opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't speak. At the same time, a feeling of soreness slowly spread from the soles of the feet, as if thousands of ants were climbing up along the legs, and it was like a giant python, slowly tightening my body. My eyes must be panicked, and there was a hint of happiness in Haoyue's eyes.

"Your appearance made the emperor forget about my existence. You said that you want to teach me dance so that the emperor will notice me. You know the emperor so well, but what you taught me did not let the emperor take a look at me. It's a hypocrite and doesn't want to help me at all."

Haoyue's face became a little hideous in my eyes, with dark light and shadows, her face was fictitious and real, and I only felt dizzy and unable to stand.

"Later, you assassinated the emperor because of Ling Xiang’s death. I thought the emperor or the queen mother would kill you, but he didn’t. He actually left you at Pengdao Yaotai. You were pregnant, and the Ling family got supreme. I can't accept the honor. Everything I have done just because of his love for you has become meaningless." Haoyue grabbed my shaky body and made my eyes only look at her.

"You are out of the palace, and the prince also went to find you. Why do you want to find a way to contact the emperor and let him bring you back? You can't let go of the glory of the palace, why did you do those things in the first place? You obviously, you Obviously, you can let the emperor know what you look like on the night of your wedding, and you can show your talents in many opportunities to keep the emperor’s favor. But you don’t. Since you didn’t have it before, why would you want it again? !"

Haoyue accused me of my sin hoarsely, almost crying, but in my ears it seemed to float from a very far away place. I just feel pain all over, and I can’t breathe, I just want to close my eyes and enter the dark depths, and I can’t pay attention to anything.

"So, you are going to kill me?" My voice was rough and weak, but with all my strength, I finally said this sentence.

"I don't hate you and master, miss." Haoyue lowered her head and dared not look into my eyes. "But if you are alive, none of us can get the emperor's heart."

"Then," I felt something warm dripping from my lips: "My father, who killed him?"

"It's me." Haoyue's voice floated from far away. At this moment, it was pitch black before my eyes. I couldn't see her, but her body was so heavy that I couldn't bear it.

"Why..." I couldn't hear my voice.

"Because, only if you think that the emperor killed Ling Xiang, you will hate him and do things that are unacceptable to him, and he won't love you anymore."

"Who...instructed...you?"

"This, you don't have to know." Haoyue smiled like Ye Xiao.

I just felt my body suddenly lightened, and my whole person seemed to be trapped in the clouds, relaxed and without any pain. I wish to be here forever and never wake up again.

After the darkness, it was the spring breeze blowing on the face, and the Jinjing Yulan; it was the golden tent for thousands of miles, and the bright moon was in the sky; it was full of peach blossoms, and Fangfei was full of paths. The wind is the clothes, the water is the wear, the brilliance is colorful, and the life is like a dream. It was a beautiful world, warm and comfortable. There is also a gentle figure, which seems to be not far away, looking at me with a smile across a Hongqiao.

I moved towards that figure and couldn't help taking a step forward.

A dazzling white fills my vision, and the white light is so dazzling that I can hardly open my eyes. When the white light faded away, the azure veil hanging overhead came into view. The cyan color was like the clear sky outside the window not far away, without a trace of impurities.

Is this Tiangong or Jifu? Should I go to the underworld? However, I have not seen black and white impermanence, have not walked the Naihe Bridge, have not drunk Meng Po soup, nor have I seen the various punishments in the eighteen layers of hell. My sin should come down to the last level.

Only for a while, I only felt very tired. I closed my eyes and opened it again for about half of the time. I opened my eyes again in the blink of an eye and looked carefully. There are many small holes in the veil that have been eaten by insects, and the color is too much due to washing. At the same time, it became dull and white, and even a few places fell off. I looked up again and saw a cobweb hanging on the beam above my head, which was covered with dust. Although the room had sunlight coming in, it was still gloomy. Only the band of light coming in through the window filtered out the violent sun. , Like a candlelight in the dark night, softly hit the ground, but warm and steadfast to those who return late.

I am more sane. I am familiar with it here. It is my residence in the midst of dying. And I should be lying on the bed.

When I moved a little, I only felt a lot of pain all over. It is not the superficial pain of the injury, but it comes out from the internal organs and muscle base. The human limbs and skeletons are as if being pulled by an invisible giant hand, and it is unbearable like countless steel needles pierced into the skin. The tingling, I almost resented myself, waking up from the darkness.

However, there was immense joy in my heart. That joy was the joy of hope in life after death, the joy of being clear after knowing the truth, the excitement of looking forward to finding out the truth and revenge for the father, and the gratitude for the mercy of God.

I am not dead, I am still alive.

Putting my hand on my lower abdomen, my heart sank, and the small bump there had already collapsed. Tearing pain came from the lower body. I tried to get out of the bed, and suddenly, a pain that was about to crush me came from my internal organs. I just feel the pain of turning around the world, and I don't even have the strength to bend my little fingers, let alone the ground.

"Are you awake?" A man's voice rang in his ear. The voice was strange and familiar. I followed the prestige, and Brother Zhao's face appeared in the eyes.

"Brother Zhao...?" I could hardly believe my eyes. Two days before Haoyue's arrival, Brother Zhao took a ten-day vacation and went home because of something at home. But at this time, why is he here?

"Are you okay?" Brother Zhao's eyes were full of concern and worry.

I shook my head and looked at him: "Aren't you going home? Why are you here?"

Brother Zhao smiled: "I received news that my mother was seriously ill and planned to go back, but just returned to my relatives in Beijing, and was told that he was much better, but was short of money. I asked them to take the monthly salary I saved. came back."

"Aren't you going back to see your mother?" I wondered, after all, when the parents are sick, how can there be children who don't miss it?

"All the money is given to them. If I go back, it will be another expense. The more money, the better I can treat my mother. So I have to come back and continue to earn my monthly salary." Brother Zhao's tone was rather helpless, but He is telling the truth. For his guards guarding Lenggong like this, he is the most tiring but lacks oil and water. Even if he is the captain of a team, he only has monthly salary. On the contrary, the general guards who guard the palace gate or the inner court will have a lot of money.

I nodded, "It's hard for you in such a place."

"What's the matter with you?" Brother Zhao didn't respond to my words, and asked: "I came back this morning, and when I came in to see you, I found that you were lying on the ground and there was blood all around. I didn't dare to ask a doctor, so I had to send you first Put it on the bed."

"Come back this morning?" I looked at him: "How many days have you been out?"

"Three days, do you want me to go to Yueguiren quietly? She will definitely be able to invite a doctor." Brother Zhao said with concern.

I shook my head quickly: "Brother Zhao, don't ask me why I am like this." I only feel that speaking is very laborious at this time, but I still struggled and said: "You will go to Yueguiren in three days and say that after you came back, I found that I was dead. Now, the body smells bad, it has been dragged out and buried, please ask her to punish it."

"Huh?" Brother Zhao looked at me in surprise: "But, she is not..."

"I'll tell you later." I took a long breath: "I want to sleep for a while. Can you change a room for me? More remote. Help me find some hemostatic and detoxifying medicine."

Brother Zhao nodded: "You go to bed first." He said again: "I will come to see you later today. Last night the first emperor's Wang Meiren was hanged and I have to call a few brothers to clean up."

My eyes lit up, and it was God's help.

"Brother Zhao," I grabbed his sleeve: "Can you, can you tell everyone, that Wang Meiren, is it me?"

"You think?" Brother Zhao's eyes told me, he knew what I meant.

I nodded: "Please!" I gritted my teeth: "After this time, I know a lot of truth. I must take revenge, and I want to go back." There must be a firm and angry light in my eyes, I Looking at him: "Don't worry, as long as I can go back, I will definitely take you out of this place. You don't have to look at people's faces anymore, and you don't have to worry about the money for treating your mother.

Brother Zhao looked at me with pity in his eyes: "You just need to live well." After he said, he nodded: "Don't worry, I can still keep you alive in this dying."

I smiled relieved and closed my eyes, but waves of hatred and determination surged in my heart.
