Chapter 185

But Qianmei has been quietly staying in Jingyiyuan for a few days.

Except for Xiang'er who followed her to Jingyiyuan that night, all the palace people inside and outside the courtyard have been replaced by people from Deoksugung Palace.

The Empress Dowager Xuan has experienced the turmoil in the court, and also experienced the calamity of life and death. She was afraid that her son would not be able to pass this test, but she really guarded Ke Qianmei as a scourge.

Because of Ke Qianmei's low spirits and loss of appetite, Xiang'er started to have a low fever again. Every time she wanted to call the imperial physician, the palace servants of Deoksugung Palace refused to pass on the news, so she was in a hurry. She felt that Qianmei was burning so badly, but she said that she was trying to seduce people with Hu Meizi, trying to win the emperor's heart.Although he was concerned that Tang Tianxiao didn't scold Ke Qianmei directly, he scolded Xiang'er bloody in front of her, and slapped her twice before leaving angrily.Since then, Xiang'er didn't dare to say more, but fortunately, the daily food and drink was decent, so she could only persuade Ke Qianmei to think about everything, try to eat as much as possible, and slowly regain her spirit.

But when Qianmei woke up and found that she was imprisoned in Jingyiyuan, she was not surprised. Xiang'er repeatedly explained that it was the queen mother's idea, but she was just silent, and she didn't know if she heard it.

She used to be very lively and active, but after being moved into this dilapidated, dusty, dilapidated cold palace, she became as quiet as a different person, most of the time she just lay quietly on the bed, often unable to speak a word for a day.

When Xiang'er was feeling anxious, Zhuo Rui also moved into Jingyiyuan.

He has been in the palace for a long time, and his martial arts are outstanding. The people of Deoksugung Palace did not dare to treat him too slowly. They let him change the outdated furnishings in Ke Qianmei's bedroom, added two quilts, and pasted the windows on all sides. Put on new window paper.

But Qianmei didn't care about it at first, but later saw that he went in and out of the bedroom every day, and even stayed in front of the bed for a long time without avoiding taboos, and began to be surprised.

Today, when Ke Qianmei tiredly pushed away the custard that Xianger handed to her again, Zhuo Rui took it, sat on the edge of the bed, lifted her from the bed, and made her lean against the pillow Sit down, and said: "If you don't want to stay here forever, eat first and take care of your body."

But Qian Mei was startled, and forced a smile: "Zhuo Rui, do you think there is still a way ahead of me?"

Zhuo Rui looked at the woman who had lost all her previous looks, and sighed: "As long as you don't die, there is always a way to go. Do you really want to die so much?"

But Qianmei lowered her head, her black hair blocked her thin face, but her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, "Living is worse than dying, but it's actually better than dying. I tried it once, and the taste was not as uncomfortable as I imagined. But I I'm only 17 years old, so I'm short-lived. I can only live to 30 years old. I can live another 13 years. I haven't been to many places, I haven't tried many things, and I haven't even had a child. I'm really not reconciled to dying like this."

Zhuo Rui smiled and said: "Then you don't eat much, feed yourself well, maybe you can find a chance to go out and play until you are 80 or [-] years old before you die."

But Qianmei laughed, her eyes crooked, and said, "Actually, I really just don't have an appetite and can't eat."

"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it. If others want you to die, are you really looking for your own death?"

But Qianmei looked at the faint sunlight outside the window, and said suddenly: "I know he doesn't want me to die. Even if I hurt him like that, he still doesn't want me to die. Otherwise, he wouldn't let you come, right? "

Zhuo Rui's expression darkened.

But Qianmei took the custard from his hand, closed her eyes, and forced herself to swallow it in big mouthfuls.

But before the bowl had time to put it down, her body had already leaned out, but she jumped over the edge of the bed and lay on Zhuo Rui's lap, spitting out the custard she just ate.

She wiped the tears from the strong vomiting, and sighed: "I was much stronger than those men. I accidentally fell in love with the wrong person. When I was happy, I was terribly happy, and when I was sad, I was terribly sad. It seems Really dying."

As she spoke, when she supported Zhuo Rui's legs to stand up, her palms intentionally or unintentionally pressed down on his thigh near his lower abdomen.

Zhuo Rui's body trembled violently, he hurriedly pulled her hand away, and helped her to sit firmly on the bed, his face was pale from the pain.Not long after he was tortured, the wound had just healed, so he couldn't touch it.

But when Qianmei saw his expression, she knew it already, and the smile on her face turned into an expression uglier than crying.

She whispered: "Is it because of me? You treat him loyally, how can he be so vicious? "

Zhuo Rui was silent for a moment, then replied: "Concubine Shu, don't blame him. I did it voluntarily."

"Volunteer?"

But Qian Mei was startled, and then said, "You must have treated me well and made him suspicious, so you have to suffer this kind of voluntary living?"

Zhuo Ruiqiang smiled and said: "No. I haven't done anything for Concubine Shu."

But Qianmei leaned on the soft pillow, tried her best to calm down the churning in her chest and abdomen, and said: "That day in Dali Temple, what Turcha said when he was dying, he asked, you dare not translate, I said it myself, but If you didn't say a word, you also helped me hide it, and never told him. I knew that you were sincerely good to me and protected me in your heart. "

At that time, Ke Qianmei stood on the execution hall, but she straightened her back and told Tang Tianxiao that Turcha thought that he, the emperor of the Great Zhou, was not worthy of their Princess Kezhu.

In fact, there was another sentence in Turcha at that time, but Qianmei did not translate it.

Turcha said that it is better for a princess to marry the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty than to marry the Xinwang of Southern Chu.

At that time, Qianmei was being framed by the Shen family, if someone knew her Beihe guards said such things, it would undoubtedly make her situation worse.

She took advantage of Zhuo Rui's hesitation to say it first, because she was afraid that Zhuo Rui would mention King Xin during the translation.

She won.

Not only did Zhuo Rui not mention it in court, but he didn't even tell Tang Tianxiao in private. Let Tang Tianxiao fall in love with her without any scruples, and get deeper and deeper...

Zhuo Rui didn't deny her words, stared at her quietly for a long time, and said: "If you think I treat you well, you should take care of yourself."

But Qian Mei looked at the dusty roof in rapt attention, and suddenly smiled softly, such a pale smile, which actually made the old yellowed curtains look a bit more charming.

She chuckled and said, "It doesn't really matter whether I take care of myself or not. He doesn't even know what else I have done behind his back. If he knew, he would probably kill me immediately."

Zhuo Rui was stunned and asked: "What else did you do? Explain clearly earlier, there will be no chance."

But Qian Mei didn't answer, she continued to smile with wet eyelashes: "I am also a strong outsider, I have lived too many happy days, and I don't even have the courage to die. If he wants me to die, let him do it! He is the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and if I miss one hit, I should never find another chance to avenge that bloody sea of ​​revenge. Zhuo Rui, I fell in love with my sworn enemy, and I would have no face to see my parents and relatives even if I died. If there is a chance, after I die, please help scratch my face and cover it with my hair!"

She pondered, and then said: "Well, maybe it's not such a trouble. If it's a felony, just drag it out of the palace and throw it in a mass grave, and then it will be torn to pieces by wild dogs, and even the bones will be taken away. My parents must not recognize me!"

Zhuo Rui didn't dare to answer, and quietly backed out.

---------------------------------------------

Accompanied by Zhuo Rui, although Qian Mei was still depressed, she was better than before. Although she was not diagnosed and treated by an imperial doctor, her original symptoms of low-grade fever, vomiting, and loss of appetite gradually disappeared. When she entered Dongyue, she ate even more than usual More, and occasionally take a walk in front of the porch, her complexion is much better.

But at this time, the Great Zhou, which was already as stable as a rock, had undergone sudden changes overnight.

Zhuang Yao's rebellion in Jiaozhou was expected since Zhuang Bilan took Nan Yayi out of Ruidu; He escaped with help, and took advantage of the terrain to encircle and annihilate tens of thousands of pursuers in the mountains and rivers south of Qingzhou. After occupying Qingzhou, he led the army of King Xin to cross the river and captured Yuezhou.Some of the Shen family forces that had surrendered to the imperial court immediately played the banner of revenge, and under the support of Shen Chao, they rebelled against Zhou.

Li Mingyuan, the King of Xin, raised his arms and shouted, the anti-Chu Fu Chu forces that had been hiding in the dark immediately became rampant, especially some famous Southern Chu figures in the south of the Yangtze River who cared about their homeland and regarded themselves as survivors, rose up one after another. As far as the south of the Yangtze River, they meet each other, occupy various cities, and behead the officials of the imperial court. For a while, there are wildfires everywhere, and people are panicked.

Now that the state of the Great Zhou has been established, if you want to form this kind of momentum that gathers followers who raise their arms and shout, they must have a considerable amount of troops as their backing.

When it comes to Li Mingyuan's influence in the Central Plains, Tang Tianxiao has always been very careful. According to the information he has received, although Li Mingyuan's reputation is high, after all, most of them were in Beihe, and there were not many soldiers who directly obeyed him. Most of them are in Beihe, so why did they fly to the hinterland of the Central Plains?

Since Tang Tianxiao was imprisoned, he suffered from severe wind attacks from time to time, and had been sleeping alone in the Qianyuan Hall for treatment with medicine. When the Central Plains was busy mobilizing troops for conquest, the soldiers of the Zhuang family and Li Mingyuan had already marched from southern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and they went down several cities in a row, and they were almost connected with the city occupied by Li Mingyuan.

At this time, he received Yu Wenqi's memorial of illness and apology, and then got the news that Li Mingyuan's army, before joining other Southern Chu rebels, had more than [-]% of the troops borrowed from Beihe.It dawned on him.

It turned out that Yu Wenqi, who had been an enemy of Beihe for decades, opened the gate and joined the tiger and wolf division of Beihe led by Li Mingyuan.

He once cooperated with Tang Tianxiao to destroy the Shen family because of the unjust death of his beloved daughter; but when he received the letter from Concubine Shu Ke Qianmei from Zhuang Bilan, he turned to cooperate with Li Mingyuan and let Tang Tianxiao fall into crisis. For the unjust death of her beloved daughter.

But many details mentioned in Qian Mei's letter, he is sure that only his daughter knows.

His daughter was crazy about her love and died, but he was not crazy or dead.

After discovering that he was being used, he immediately responded with color, causing Tang Tianxiao's winning position to collapse immediately.

Before Tang Tianxiao had time to think about how to deal with the beloved concubine who had completely betrayed him, the troops of Zhuang Yao and Li Mingyuan had already approached Ruidu.

The action was so swift that it seemed to fall from the sky, which was unimaginable.

And the eyeliner he had planted didn't realize the news until this time. It was also very charming. When Nan Yayi left the palace, he presented a map of the military defense of various places in Dazhou drawn by himself.

She didn't hand over the defense map to Beihe, but she did enter Dongnuan Pavilion once, and forcibly memorized those complicated maps and the distribution of soldiers and horses in her mind.

At first, she wanted to be unfavorable to Tang Tianxiao; but she fell in love with Tang Tianxiao, and almost sealed those military defense plans in her mind forever; until she found out that they were destined to be life and death enemies, they finally became a deadly weapon against Tang Tianxiao...

All the state capitals were in a hurry, wars were raging everywhere, his Great Zhou fell into chaos in a short period of time, and the coming protracted war would obviously shatter his desire to strengthen the country and enrich the people for these years of recuperation.

At this time, he received news from the palace staff of Jingyiyuan that Ke Qianmei wanted to see him.

He hadn't seen her for two months, no matter how hard he felt, he didn't plan to see her.He was fully aware of the irreversible hatred and irreversible ending in each other's hearts, and he was also fully aware of her situation.

She didn't die, and was recovering day by day under the comfort of another man who loved her--though that man was no longer a complete man.

But if he went to see her, she would surely die.

Now, it's time for her to escape.

Whether you see her or not, the Queen Mother will never let her go after she hears about what she has done to subvert the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And she would definitely not want to see him for the sake of begging for mercy.

This is their last side.
