Chang Anqing

Chapter 246
In this compartment, a hundred flowers are blooming in the garden, colorful butterflies are fluttering, and occasionally a few swallows touch the glazed tiles on the eaves, and then go freely towards the blue sky, turning into a small black spot in the sky.

Looking up, Shangguan Yun covered his forehead with a round fan in his hand, looked at the thin floating clouds in the clear sky, and looked at those free birds, his eyes that had long been as silent as a pool of stagnant water could not help but rippling with longing with envy.

I've been proud all my life, I've been so strong all my life, but I can't compete with the result of being kept in a cage.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun smiled, but the light in his eyes was dim, so dim that there was no trace of human life.

"Miss?"

Hearing Luzhu's worry, Shangguan Yun withdrew his gaze, turned his head to Shang Luzhu and nodded lightly, then Luzhu turned sideways and ordered Gong'e to bring up the exquisite birdcages containing various birds.

"Let it go, let them go."

After the words were finished, all the palace gates opened the birdcage together, and the birds with exquisite colorful feathers in the cage immediately flapped their wings and flew to the boundless blue sky, leaving only a few colorful feather tails swirling down lightly.

Shangguan Yun stretched out his hand silently, letting a feather flutter down on the palm of his hand, feeling numb after rubbing it, and then heard an all-too-familiar voice behind him.

"Concubine De."

Turning around, Shangguan Yun's eyes were completely frozen, and the moment he met Shangguan Ji, he was like a stranger without the slightest emotion.

Shangguan Ji was not surprised by the reaction of the niece in front of him, and he didn't care. At this moment, he only took a long look at the birds flying wantonly, and walked forward as usual with an unguarded easy-going, He said kindly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how good Concubine De is always."

Looking at the noble figure in front of him even though he was saluting, Shangguan Yun's eyes were getting colder, and he said in a neutral way: "It's hard for Shang Shuling to care about living in this exquisite palace. How can it be bad for everyone to flock to serve?”

Hearing Shangguan Yun's implicative and insinuating words, Luzhu beside her couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but facing this seemingly gentle and tolerant Shang Shuling, she still dared not say anything in fear ,can not say.

Shangguan Ji heard the words and slowly stood up straight, glanced at Gong'e behind Shangguan Yun, and instead of being angry, he said kindly: "Since Concubine De entered the palace, everyone in the mansion has been very concerned about it, it is really rare to see her today."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Ji said: "I happen to have some family matters to discuss with Concubine De."

Shangguan Yun heard the sound and saw Shangguan Ji pull out a letter from his sleeve, but it was written by her aunt.

The usually cold and arrogant eyes were gradually shaken at this moment. Facing Shangguan Ji's gentle silence, Shangguan Yun finally said: "You guys step back first."

When everyone retreated in response, Shangguan Yun couldn't help opening the letter after receiving it.

"Since you entered the palace, the family members in the mansion have indeed cared about you every day. Seeing you today, you seem to be thinner, not as agile and lively as before."

Hearing Shangguan Ji's words, Shangguan Yun's heart was full of sarcasm, but when she opened the family letter unmoved, she heard Shangguan Ji's voice again.

"Now that the empress has passed away, the virtuous concubine has never been favored, and Yue Zhaoyi, who was favored in the past, has also declined. This is the opportunity for you. The Shangguan family has devoted many years to cultivating you and the noble concubine. Now you are too. When you have a clear understanding of the current situation, take good care of your body, and take advantage of this time to conceive a dragon heir, don't be obsessed with this sad thing every day, just like a little girl."

While speaking, Shangguan Yun only felt that the reminder in his ear became more and more piercing, as if it had become vigilant or even threatening.

Unmoved by the people in front of him, Shangguan Ji's always smiling lips were gradually pursed, and his eyes were slightly cold.

"I heard that since you entered the palace, His Majesty has never stayed overnight in Qingsi Palace. Could it be that you have forgotten your mission and that a childless woman in this palace will only be the result of becoming a nun?"

When Shangguan Ji's serious and even cold words fell, Shangguan Yun, who had been silent in front of him, finally raised his head, and sneered fearlessly like a confrontation: "Shang Shuling is really loyal to the emperor and patriotic, worried about the world, even the emperor's bed curtain Take care of everything."

"Li Niang!"

Seeing Shangguan Ji, who has always been gentle and smiling, revealing a menacing attitude, Shangguan Yun is not only not afraid, but finds it more and more interesting, and said unhurriedly: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? Minister, these four seas belong to the Son of Heaven, where is he going, will he obey my orders? Or is it that I want to tie the Emperor to this Hall of Qingsi, can I forcefully tie him up?"

Seeing the person in front of him covered with rebellious bones caressing his scales, even the self-proclaimed Qingliu Shangguan Ji had a cold look in his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

"Law of the Great Zhou, concubines are not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers, and Shang Shuling has always been trusted by His Majesty, so I will not add suspicion for you, and I will leave first."

When Shangguan Yun saw Shangguan Ji's disapproving look, he immediately sarcastically turned around and left without saying anything.

"Concubine De doesn't think that Shangguan's honoring you to this position means she can't do anything."

Faced with this threat, Shangguan Yun stopped indifferently, but Shangguan Ji behind him stood there coldly with his hands behind his back, and said word by word: "As you said, I have many daughters in the Shangguan family. Without you, I can't do it without you." There can be a second, a third, but by then the outcast will be nothing."

Seeing Shangguan Yun's motionless and straight back, Shangguan Ji walked forward slowly and said, "I know you don't care, but doesn't your mother care too?"

Almost at the same time, Shangguan Yun, who had always turned his back to him, immediately clenched his hands, turned around, and his eyes were sullen like burning oil.

"Are you using A Niang to threaten me?"

Seeing Shangguan Yun who had no seniority or inferiority in front of him, Shangguan Ji smiled instead of anger, and said calmly as before: "A woman married and obeyed her husband, your mother is a member of our clan since she married into the Shangguan clan, do you think you What good is it to your mother to be so contradictory or even hostile to your own family?"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Ji handed her a medicine bottle, then brushed past her, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "What kind of person is your Aye, and what kind of feelings do you have for you?" Hope, you know better than this uncle like me, if you really refute meaninglessly, in the future you can live a lifetime of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha not caring about worldly affairs, then you should think about what kind of life your mother will have."

"This is the way to be a child."

When the last words fell to his ears, Shangguan Ji had already walked away slowly, but Shangguan Yun was clenched his hands tightly and almost trembling, biting his lips at this moment to prevent a tear from rolling down his eyes.

"Miss!"

When Lu Zhu came, she saw Shangguan Yun open the envelope and read every word, but she burst into tears unknowingly, which made her very sad.

"Miss-"

Looking at Aniang's words of concern for her in the letter, every few words reassured her, and she didn't mention her own situation at all, and felt a pain in her heart as if being torn apart.

Is she going to throw in the towel?Is she really willing to be at their mercy for the rest of her life!
No, she will never!
Far away, the blue waves are thousands of miles away.There is only a red-painted verandah floating on the water, and the refreshing sound of the water splashing on the shore can be heard. It is a scene in the palace, the Fubiting Pavilion.

Sitting on the porch, Shangguan Yun, who was throwing fish food in his hands, had already returned to his icy cold appearance. Looking up, he looked like a cold beauty.

Yue Zhaoyi, who was originally bored and just came out for a walk, felt even more angry when she saw this person she had never liked appearing not far away.

Unexpectedly, one Shangguan family left, and another Shangguan family came. She managed to regain the position of Zhaoyi, but in a blink of an eye, this Shangguan family became a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and even that concubine Shu was chased. Feng Guifei.

Every time she thinks of this, she feels like gnashing her teeth, wishing to bite his flesh and break his bones.

"Zhaoyi—"

Seeing Yue Zhaoyi heading towards Concubine De aggressively, He Lianrong couldn't help following nervously.

"It's really unlucky. If you go out to relax, you may encounter some things that are in the way."

"It's said that sisters are deeply affectionate. I never thought that these so-called Qingliu aristocratic sisters in the Central Plains are so affectionate that they can serve a husband together. I thought they were more polite. It turned out that it was just a cover."

Walking outside the pavilion, Yue Zhaoyi didn't go in, and didn't salute, she just said casually with extreme disgust, turned around and wanted to go to the side.

"stop."

The words behind her made her stop, and when she looked back, she saw Shangguan Yun sitting in the corridor patted the fish food on her hands, stood up slowly, sat in the pavilion, looked at Yue Zhaoyi and said, "I am the concubine." , you are Zhaoyi, there is still a reason in this palace to leave without courtesy?"

Hearing this, Yue Zhaoyi looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately sarcastically said: "Your concubine who passed away before couldn't stand my ceremony, how can you?"

After all, Yue Zhaoyi held her head up and was about to leave.

"I heard that Zhaoyi was born in Turkic, and she doesn't know much about palace rules and etiquette. She has always been unruly. Today it seems that she is indeed so."

"you!"

Seeing Yue Zhaoyi's glaring look, Shangguan Yun said to Lvzhu unmoved: "Ignore the palace rules and offend the superior, how should I be punished?"

"As a staff of twenty, as a warning to others."

Seeing Luzhu lowering her body respectfully, and Gong'e behind Shangguan Yun slowly approaching, Yue Zhaoyi immediately angrily said, "How dare you!"

Seeing the group of people approaching unmoved, another woman behind Yue Zhaoyi bravely pointed at Shangguan Yun's humanity and said, "My Zhaoyi is a Turkic princess, and even the emperor and Khan have never punished her. How dare you offend Shangguan Yun?" ! Don't go away yet."

After Helena died in the violent room, Honggu was completely cast aside by Yue Zhaoyi, and Helianrong was also frightened, had nightmares every night, and became a cowardly waste in Yue Zhaoyi's eyes.The maidservant from Turkic in front of her was bent on flattering and flattering, hoping to replace He Lianrong as Yue Zhaoyi's confidant.

Naturally, it was also for this reason at this moment, and he bravely spoke out for Yue Zhaoyi what was in her heart.

"If there is a master, there will be a servant."

Shangguan Yun looked at the Turkic woman in front of him, and immediately said with a smile: "You are right, Yue Zhaoyi is a Turkic princess, even if you do something wrong, you waiters have failed to guide you."

"Then you will be punished on your behalf."

While speaking, Shangguan Yun easily nodded the woman with his hand, and if someone restrained her, he would take her down.

"My people, who dares to move!"

Seeing that Yue Zhaoyi was so angry, the people around Shangguan Yun were just as cold-eyed as her, and they were about to send him off unmoved.

At this moment, Yue Zhaoyi heard the woman begging for help, and was so angry that she came forward to slap Shangguan Yun.

However, before Lu Zhu could block it, Shangguan Yun clamped down on that powerful hand, and said with a disdainful smile on his lips: "I have practiced martial arts for many years, let alone you, it is you." A group of people may not necessarily be my opponent."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yun pulled him away, and said in a condescending and cold voice: "Stand!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the woman's cry and the sound of flesh and blood shattered in front of the pavilion.

But Yue Zhaoyi, who has always been domineering, is like a bird at this moment, being held tightly by Shangguan Yun, unable to move at all, and can only watch this scene helplessly, as if hitting her in the face.

"Concubine De, you are crazy! What are you, you dare to beat my Turks! I will let His Majesty punish you! I will kill you!"

Hearing these hissing but unintimidating words, Shangguan Yun watched all this with a smile indifferently, until the cane punishment was over, and then he easily threw away his hand.

Seeing that another slap was about to come, Shangguan Yun clamped down again mockingly: "Today I am imposing a small punishment according to the palace rules. Even Your Majesty may not protect you, so I can do it myself."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yun got up bored, not caring about the embarrassment in front of him, and said lightly: "Go back to the palace."

Not surprisingly, when Yue Zhaoyi stared at all this, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he went towards Zichen Palace.

However, unlike in the past, this time Emperor Yuan Cheng did not protect him rudely, but said indifferently: "Let her go back."

Faced with this unprecedented cold reception, Yue Zhaoyi raised her head in disbelief, trembling with anger, and immediately threw off everyone's obstruction, and rushed into the palace gate.

"Silang, the Shangguan family used their status to beat me up, yet you didn't make the decision for me!"

Hearing the phrase "Silang", Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was reviewing the documents, couldn't help frowning, and his patience became much less.

"Concubine De is in the position of concubine, but you don't follow the palace rules, offend you repeatedly, and allow your servants to be disrespectful. These are the palace rules and etiquette, and you can't find fault with Concubine De. You should go back and do it yourself. Your own life, so that you can be the person who restrains you."

"Shiro!"

Hearing this, Yue Zhaoyi, who still had some sense left, saw the sullen expression on Yuan Chengdi's face and the impatience in his eyes, so she couldn't help but said: "You used to say that I came from Turkic, so I don't need to be punished by the palace. The rules are too restrictive, but now they want to use the palace rules to force me to bow my head to that bitch? This is absolutely impossible!"

"presumptuous!"

As the documents on the case were dropped, Emperor Yuan Cheng suddenly stood up and said with a serious face: "As the head of the nine concubines, you can insult the concubine in front of me, so why don't you want to insult me ​​by pointing your nose in the future?"

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng scolded angrily: "In the past when you first entered the palace, I thought you were alone and far away from your ancestors, and I gave you every kind of tolerance, but you repeatedly made troubles, killed the noble concubine, mother and child, and disrespected the queen. Without any improvement, I think you don't want the position of Zhaoyi anymore!"

"Don't step back!"

Hearing this, Yue Zhaoyi felt her chest was overwhelmed, she never imagined that the person who was so gentle and tolerant of her in the past would turn into such a cold and ruthless appearance before her eyes.

It's Concubine De, it must be that bitch!

"Okay, Your Majesty doesn't care, I will take care of it myself."

After finishing speaking, Yue Zhaoyi said fiercely: "I will definitely write to Brother Yu, asking him to kill that bitch De Concubine for me, so as not to confuse Sheng Ting!"

"You are presumptuous!"

However, before he finished speaking, Yue Zhaoyi left angrily, and Emperor Yuan Cheng was so angry that his chest was raging, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

"His Majesty!"

Being supported by Chengde to sit down, Emperor Yuan Cheng only felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.

"Can you do what I asked you to do?"

Hearing Emperor Yuancheng's question, Chengde immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all people and letters from Lingqi Palace will not be sent out of the Palace."

Even if it was spread out, Princess Pengcheng was enough to suppress everything and report good news but not bad news.

Let this domineering princess never turn upside down again.

Seeing this, Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "Light the incense left by Sun Zhong."

Watching Chengde retreat, Emperor Yuan Cheng leaned on the couch wearily, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Ashina's reliance on the Turks, he has tolerated and indulged for a long time.

When everything is done, he will be the first to send her to hell.
