Empress Fenghua

Chapter 490
Qi Wen pushed open the door of the Leng Palace, and Concubine Quan raised her eyes, her eyes were full of sternness, like a vicious resentful woman, full of despair and death.The gorgeous dress moved slowly over the cold stone bricks, and the carved wood in front of the door was covered with dust and cobwebs.

Qi Wen walked into the clean and empty hall, and Duan Huixian in plain clothes and wide sleeves sat behind a short table in the center.Light and beautiful, dignified and clean!

Duan Huixian glanced at Concubine Quan, then continued to stare at the book of war on the short table.

"Don't you have the slightest bit of guilt? Even in this doomed cold palace, it can't arouse the slightest fear in your heart?" Concubine Quan said through gritted teeth, "Could it be that you couldn't see Xi'er when you dreamed back at midnight?" A crying face? He hides in every corner around you, in this empty hall, don't you feel afraid?"

"Duan Huixian, you are so cruel!" Imperial Concubine Quan sneered, "As you wished, I didn't sit on the empress position, nor did I have any more children. Are you satisfied? I will never let you go out of here!"

Duan Huixian looked at Concubine Quan indifferently, "You are old and thin, and you are no longer as beautiful as before! Sure enough, you are beautiful if you are kind, and people who hold hatred and resentment will always be ugly!"

"Do you think I can not hate?" Concubine Quan with tears in her eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Duan Huixian's neck, "Duan Huixian, tell me, when you killed Ben Gong's Xi'er, did you ever think that Zhen'er would also Strangled to death by me?"

Duan Huixian looked at Concubine Quan in horror, "What did you say? What did you do to Zhen'er?"

Concubine Quan sneered, "So you would be so worried, I thought you only had yourself in your eyes!" Concubine Quan snorted coldly, "Duan Huixian, believe it or not, I never thought of hurting Zhen'er. Although my son was demoted to a commoner, she has already been adopted by your elder brother Duan Zixie and Princess Xinyang, and the two asked to be stationed at the border and never return to court."

Duan Huixian smiled gratifiedly, and shed two tears, "Zhen'er..."

Concubine Quan waved her hand, Qi Wen brought a wine cup and put it on the low table, "The day when this country will be ruined is not far away, even if I can't be the queen, the biggest worry in this harem is only you, Duan Huixian Bengong is afraid that no one will take care of you at that time, and you are here alone to endure the humiliation, it is better to die as soon as possible. This is poisonous wine, you should drink it obediently! If you die, don’t let Bengong do it. Empress Dowager, don't be too embarrassing!"

Duan Huixian curled up her lips, "Believe it or not, I never hurt Xi'er. Cherish and cherish, which means precious. I named your child Xi at that time, and I treated it with maternal love. Someone else killed Xi'er!"

Duan Huixian looked at the poisoned wine and recalled the news that Hua Chong had sent early...

Zhen'er has been adopted by Princess Xinyang and Duan Zixie. Since then, she has lived in seclusion outside the pass and will never set foot in the Central Plains again!

Duan Huixian picked up the poisoned wine indifferently and drank it down...

"What did you say?" Hua Zhong clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face, "Hui Xian is dead..."

Those who used to be with me in the first days, those moments that shone in the sun, those who went through ups and downs with me, and those who knew those bitter pasts are all dead. Who else can accompany me?Hua Zhong thought of the elegant gathering in Lingshan, the feast at Princess Xinyang's mansion, and Gu Shuangcheng's words: "Best wine to the east wind!"
Hua Zhong wiped away her tears, "Yuanqing, bring your things, let's go!"

Ye Yongjia stroked Meng Chen's Shenshang sword, as if he had aged several decades, Ling Yun stood outside the Palace of Qinzheng and frowned, watching Concubine Quan from a distance slowly approaching.

"Hello, Concubine Quan!"

Concubine Quan glanced at the closed palace door, "The emperor still doesn't see anyone, why don't you come out behind closed doors?"

Ever since he learned of Duan Huixian's death, Ye Yongjia hadn't been in the government hall for three days.

Ling Yun nodded and sighed, "Don't blame the subordinates for talking too much, your actions, concubine, really hurt the emperor's heart, the empress...although she is abolished, she must not die!"

Concubine Quan held back her tears, but her eye circles were frighteningly red.Ye Yongjia's bitter cry came from inside the hall, and everyone outside the hall lowered their heads and sobbed faintly...

Hua Zhong and Yuan Qing walked aimlessly on the mountain road, Hua Zhong was silent all the way.Yuan Qing sat in front of Hua Zhong, "Is the third sister still thinking about the matter after the paragraph?"

"She was my good sister when I was young, and she is also the only person whose relationship has not changed through the world. Yuanqing, I have experienced so much, and I have lost too much. I am afraid that no one remembers the people and things in the past except me. Who can I entrust my longing to?" Hua Zhong looked into the distance in confusion, "Can you understand the feeling of wandering around the world without friends or old friends? Now that no one knows about my past..."

It was a bone-chilling loneliness, like the loneliness after the fireworks, closer to pure...

Yuanqing smiled lightly, "Third sister, at least you have to believe that everyone is doing this with a good attitude, and the outcome is unexpected and inevitable."

"I understand that Chengguo is over. In order to keep Huixian and Zhen'er from being harmed, Yongjia wants to depose the queen and the prince. That's why he loves Concubine Quan. It's a pity that Huixian behaves dignifiedly and Zhen'er is useless." Picky. Only Yongjia will be cruel and use Xi'er as a bait to facilitate this matter. It's a pity that Huixian is not such a person who is willing to be humiliated, and it's a pity that Concubine Quan's love for her son is so eager!" Hua Zhong sighed for a long time He took a deep breath, "You have done so decisively that it is irreparable, Yongjia, if Concubine Quan knows all this, what will happen? When the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, who will be by your side?" ?”

"Those distant and disappearing scenery are drifting away with the clouds and smoke of the past, only the painted colors are still there, mottled and disfigured. Qing'er, we are all a drop in the ocean. We once swore that we could conquer the sky and crush the earth. We can fight for life and death, or we can laugh away our grievances. But looking back at the station of life, none of us can forget the past, even love and being loved seem so pale..."

"I don't think I will come back again. Cheng Guo has already passed away, and Gao Yi will also be buried under that ruin..."

"When the iron hooves of the Ling Kingdom set foot on this beautiful mountain and the Lingshan full of shadows of memories, I don't know if I would be at a loss and think that those were just a dream. Everything that I thought was painful at the time, now I see it It was a happy time to come, the world that I thought I had to escape from at that time, now seems to be pure, I have no way to stop and look back, because I know that we have... can't go back..."

There was a hint of sadness in Yuanqing's clear eyes, and the two of them walked silently on the empty land full of mountains and plains, not knowing when the ground under their feet would be filled with the blood of Chengling and the two countries, and the iron hooves would crush the mountains and rivers.And how should the truth of the legendary villa be written?
A sound of hoofbeats came galloping, Hua Zhong reined in his horse and looked at the mighty figure, only Zhou Yiwei was missing!

"Master!" Song Dongming's resolute face showed a little vicissitudes, "Why don't you take your brothers with you when you leave? Brothers have no home, no relatives, only the master has deep affection for us. Now the world is in chaos, we want to follow the master !"

"Please master complete!"

Hua Zhong looked at those people with bright eyes and tears, "Follow me, maybe you can no longer stay out of it, are you going to suffer with me? Living with your head on your belt is not so secure!"

Song Dongming smiled cheerfully, "Master, you're worrying too much, following master, even if it's a mountain of swords and seas of fire, you can live a happy life!"

"A big man needs to live to his heart's content to be considered worthy!" Qin Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Master, take us with you!"

Hua Zhong thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Even if I don't agree, will you all follow me?"

Song Dongming nodded, "Our brothers have made up their minds, so we will naturally follow the master!"

"Then do I have any other choice?" Hua Zhong said impatiently with a smile, "Where's Zhou Yiwei? Did he stay with Eldest Sister?"

I thought it was a happy topic, but I didn't expect it to lead to a moment of silence.Song Dongming and Qin Shu looked at each other, lowered their heads, and after a while, Song Dongming said, "Master, Zhou Yiwei has become a monk!"

"What?" Hua Zhong gasped.

Qin Shu took the words and said, "Miss cut off her black hair and lived in the nunnery. Zhou Yiwei also...has become a monk in the Buddhist temple on the same mountain!"

Hua Zhong's eyes were like water, and he looked up at the sky. It turns out that even if it is a night of tenderness and a lifetime of companionship, the pain in his heart cannot be healed.The final hysteria and perseverance meant failure.Hua Zhong just doesn't know, Ruyun's green thread has been broken, so where will the magnolia hairpin go?

Hua Zhong smiled sadly, "Qing'er, let's go!"
