Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 99
Listening to Dong He's words, Shen Qingqiang opened her mouth, but before her words came out, Dong He had already turned and left, and Hualou quickly followed her footsteps, only to hear Zhou Wei say: "Look, Your Majesty is not Said, the courtiers and concubines have forgotten that the empress is not in good health, if she gets sick again after standing in the cold wind for so long, what should she do?"

After Zhou Wei finished speaking, she quickly followed her steps.

Shen Qingqiang looked at the crowd in front of her, and she didn't know when it started. There was an inexplicable sense of distance between her and Donghe.

I don't know when it started, but she began to look more and more like a queen, and he also looked more and more like an emperor. They were no longer the Shen Qingqiang and Donghe back then. After their wedding, they were husband and wife, the last couple. People who are close to each other, but I don't know why this royal family is different from ordinary people's families. Ordinary people's families will only get better and better when they get married, but they, on the contrary, are getting worse and worse. Why is the cart before the horse? ?

Shen Qingqiang didn't understand.

It's just that when she looked at Qianji who was following Donghe, her footsteps, her back, and every word she said were all so similar to that person. Shen Qingqiang thought to herself, if such a person did not appear in the palace, maybe she She won't get sick in order to keep Donghyuk, maybe she won't be forced to be the murderer of the little prince and be put under house arrest for so many days.

They all went to Feiyan Palace one after another, and the painting building returned to the courtyard. From now on, what happened to Concubine Rong has nothing to do with her, and the changes in the surrounding area are that Jianqiu was demoted to the Clothes Bureau, and Qi Xiang became She became Shen Qingqiang's maid in charge.

Seven days later, Concubine Rong was buried in her mausoleum and included in Yudie.

One night after Concubine Rong was buried, Hualou stepped on the tree trunk from the wall of the courtyard, and climbed to the roof to sit.

The sun was setting, and the sunset glow in winter was bloodthirsty. She leaned her head on the top pillar of the roof. Since the sun came out that day, it has been sunny for the past few days, but the weather after snow has always been the same. It was still cool, and there was a slight humidity in the air, but there were still some ice and snow in the shadows.

Rong Yu's funeral studio did not attend, but heard that the funeral was grand.

The sunset glow seemed to be stained red with blood. She looked into the distance. This courtyard was next to the Scarlet Smoke Palace. The palace was rebuilt, the first emperor set Qingyin Pavilion as the place for banquets, Yanqing Palace hosted courtiers, and Feiyan Palace became the place where the concubine lived.

Rong Xi, who had just entered the palace, was actually not qualified to live in a palace, but Donghe saw her little face, still childish, and Donghe suddenly remembered something, so he arranged her in the Scarlet Smoke Palace.

In fact, the most important thing is that Rong Xi put on pink makeup that day, which made Donghe instantly think of the Scarlet Smoke Palace, so he arranged her to live in the Scarlet Smoke Palace.

There is a small courtyard next to the Scarlet Smoke Palace. There are two beauty trees beside this courtyard. When the beauty trees are in bloom, they are very beautiful.

Hualou watched the sky gradually getting late, and quietly closed his eyes. The evening wind blew, and the wide cuffs blew onto the skin, like a sharp knife cutting. There was no blood, but it hurt, piercing pain.

Donghua is still obsessed with wanting Hualou to be resurrected, but she still wants revenge wholeheartedly. Hualou is lying on the blue tiles. In this life, she cannot save Donghe and Shen Qingqiang who killed Donghe and Shen Qingqiang like this. Do you have to be entangled in their lives like this for the rest of your life, and you don't have the life you want?
Hua Lou has thought about it many, many times, but now she has nothing but revenge. Did she ever have what she wanted in her previous life?Hua Lou asked herself this way, after asking, it took a long time to get the answer in her heart, how could she not have what she wanted, after falling in love with Dong He, isn't marrying Dong He what she wanted?After marrying Donghe as she wished, everything Donghe wanted became what she wanted, right?

Every wish of hers is actually related to Donghe. Thinking of this, her eyes are a little blurry. She used to be all him, but in the end she ended up like that. If she hadn't lived in Qianji's body again, she I won't witness his court beauty with my own eyes, and I won't witness his carelessness!

All the obsessions are like rising in the heart. There was a voice in Hualou's heart that said, go out of the palace. It will be difficult to come back. You have become what you are now, all thanks to them, how can you make them live so comfortably?
How could this be?

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Hualou fell asleep in the cool wind.

The night in winter became very bleak, the rosy clouds faded, Donghe went out for a walk after having dinner in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and walked to the Scarlet Smoke Palace unknowingly, the Scarlet Smoke Palace was already empty, Yuechan was originally The person Rong Xi brought in from her natal family, Donghe allowed her to leave the palace earlier, and after Rong Xi was buried, she was sent out of the palace and returned to the Rong Mansion, while the other maids and eunuchs of the Scarlet Smoke Palace all dispersed. Today's Scarlet Smoke Palace is empty.

Dong He looked at the Scarlet Smoke Palace, thinking of Rong Xi and Qian Ji.

Slightly looking sideways, she saw Ru Yang walking through the courtyard, her expression was a little flustered.

Dong He frowned slightly, but did not go forward, Li Qin followed Dong He's gaze from afar, and saw Ru Yang's hurried figure: "Your Majesty, my servant is going to ask?"

Seeing Donghe nodding slightly, Li Qin quickly entered the courtyard in small steps.

Seeing Li Qin who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, Ru Yang hurriedly saluted and said, "My maidservant sees Eunuch Li, I don't know why Eunuch Li is here?"

Li Qin looked at Ru Yang, Li Qin and Aunt He were beside Donghe, but the original Ru Yang and Ru Xue were under the protection of Aunt He, and they also served Dong He's side, so they also Not too much rusty.

"Miss Ru Yang looking for something?"

Ru Yang raised eyebrows and looked at Li Qin and said, "Can Eunuch Li see my girl?"

"Your girl is missing?" Li Qin asked with a slight frown.

Ru Yang looked at Li Qin and replied: "Miss suddenly disappeared just now, the maid thought she went out for a walk, but it was time for dinner and she still hasn't come back."

"It should be fine in the palace."

Seeing that Li Qin hadn't returned for a long time, Dong He frowned slightly, and walked in slowly: "What happened?"

"My servant sees Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" Ru Yang blessed her body, slowly straightened up and said: "When you return to the emperor, Miss Qianji is gone, and this servant asked her for dinner, and she hasn't had dinner yet. "

"It's this hour, and she hasn't had dinner yet?"

Ru Yang listened to Donghe's words and nodded, Donghe frowned, because she had the token of the palace in her hand, she could easily leave the palace, but Donghe rarely saw her use that token .

"Have you seen the places she likes to go on weekdays?" Donghe asked.

Ru Yang thought about it, but she actually didn't know where Qianji liked to go, and there was no happy place in the palace.

I saw Ru Xue standing in the corner, staring at the two beauty trees closely, without saying a word, Ru Yang saw this and asked, "A Xue, what are you looking at?"

Ru Xue heard Ru Yang's words, and said in a daze, "Sister, why is there no girl Qianji on this tree?"

Hearing her words, Ru Yang's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty, I probably know where the girl is."

Dong He frowned slightly and asked, "Where is it?"

"She should be on the roof." After Ru Yang finished speaking, Li Qin was slightly taken aback and said, "Call out and see if she can hear you."

However, Ru Yang didn't shout, she climbed onto the branch before the ladder came, and saw the small body lying on the blue tile: "Girl!" Ru Yang shouted, but there was no response.

Ru Yang then called out again: "Girl, come down for dinner."

But after Ru Yang's words fell, there was still no movement.

The ladder came, and Li Qin hurriedly asked the eunuch to climb up quickly, intending to bring Qianji down, but Donghe quickly stopped the eunuch who was about to go up, and climbed up the stairs by himself.

Li Qin hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Donghe slowly climbed up to the roof, and softly called: "Qianji."

He called the painting building but there was no answer, and then he called again, but there was still no sound. Donghe's footsteps lightly stepped on the blue tiles, making a creaking sound.

Li Qin and a group of court ladies and eunuchs stood down and looked at the figure of the young emperor walking on the rubble, with their hearts in their throats.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Donghe's footsteps were slow, and the palace people below were afraid that Donghe would step on the rubble and fall down.

Hualou fell asleep because she was so tired these days, she could fall asleep watching the sunset.

When Donghe came to her side, he realized that she was asleep, and reached out to touch Hualou's arm, which was cold, whether it was the skirt or the skin, it was the same.

She slept in the cold wind, and Donghe slowly touched her forehead, and finally reached her breath.

For some reason, Donghe suddenly felt that she had lost her breath, and he was not relieved until he felt the faint breath at the tip of his nose.

"Qianji, Qianji, wake up" Donghe shouted, but he didn't wake up. Donghe slowly picked her up and stood on the roof. On that day, Donghe stood on the roof and looked outside. , but even if he stood there, he couldn't see the outside of the palace. Looking at the person in his arms, some feelings gradually rose in his heart for no reason.

When I hugged her last time, I didn't feel that she was so cold, but this time, I don't know if it was because she was blown in the cold wind for too long, or because she was naturally cold.

That night, Hualou woke up not in the courtyard, but in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When she woke up, Donghe was still reviewing the memorial in the main hall. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Hualou slowly got up and walked towards the faint The twilight passed by.

Standing outside the gate, Hualou looked at Dong He's figure sitting quietly beside the table, which was piled with memorials.

The painting building froze slightly, why did she come here?
But Donghe's figure is there, and Hualou's eyes are a little sour. She has thought countless times that Donghe rules the world, and she becomes the queen of Xiliang. They govern the world together, and they discuss state affairs late at night. Loved each other until old age, she used to follow the late emperor, she knew how to be an emperor, and she thought that she could help Donghe!
But everything is just her imagination, she lost her legs, she will not become a mother, she will never be the queen of Xiliang!Never possible!

But what she never expected was that Donghe had never tolerated her, and what he always wanted in his heart was that one day, when he ruled the world and she died in Huangquan, he could marry Shen Qingqiang as his queen!

Hualou thought about the ever-changing scene, and now it is like this, he is the real king of the world, but she is just a court lady, a court lady who has nothing to do with the emperor in front of her.

She is not greedy for power, she just feels unwilling and remorseful, betrayed and used by the person she loves the most and trusts the most, and even dies in the end!How humiliated she felt!
Hualou stood there for a long time, his eyes gradually changed, became deep and cloudy.

Donghe felt Hualou's complex gaze, and he paused for a while before raising his head to look at her: "Are you awake?"

His question didn't make Hualou take back the complexity in her eyes. She just looked at Donghe directly. Walking with Yubi, he got up slowly and walked towards her.

He touched her forehead lightly: "It doesn't feel so cold at last."

Hua Lou hesitated slightly and replied: "Is Your Majesty talking about people's coldness or heart's coldness?"

Donghe didn't answer her words, but said lightly: "Why did you fall asleep on the roof just now? Although the sky is sunny, the evening wind is too cold. Once you fall asleep, you will easily catch the cold. Your skin is cold, and you are almost scared I."

Hualou looked at Donghe and said, "Your Majesty, how can a servant scare you?"

"You made Ru Yang and the other sisters look for you everywhere for dinner, are you hungry now?"

Hualou looked into his eyes, her calm expression made her feel uneasy, his words were like the time in the Prince's Mansion, every word was full of pampering, like the closest friend to herself people.

Just when Hualou was about to answer, Aunt He's voice was heard: "Young lady is awake, Your Majesty, this servant is going to deliver the meals."

Donghe nodded and said, "Go."

"Does Your Majesty know? Today's sunset is beautiful, and this servant fell asleep just looking at it, and had a beautiful dream, but after waking up, this servant forgot both the process of the dream and the ending of the dream." Hua Lou Said lightly, and walked under the candlelight.

Donghe looked at her figure, a little stagnant.

On that day, Hualou and Donghe had dinner together. It was very late that night. Donghe was still reviewing the memorial, but Hualou was left by his side: "Can you grind ink for me?"

Hualou looked at him and nodded slightly. That night until almost dawn, Hualou was grinding ink quietly, while Donghe had been quietly reading the memorial. At the beginning, Hualou was standing, Donghe said: " Sit down."

Sitting side by side, it was such a late night, doing almost the same thing, doing what she imagined!
Hualou's emotions were always ups and downs, and Donghe felt it because he was beside her.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Donghe asked.

Hua Lou looked up at him and asked, "Is the emperor familiar with such a scene?"

It was not Hualou's original intention to ask such words, but Donghe was really stunned after she said these words.

Then it fell into silence. After the silence, Donghe didn't speak, but slowly took the ink tray in her hand, and handed a memorial to her. Holding it, Donghe felt hot and sore.

After he handed it to her, he slowly handed her the pen as well, and said, "This is how it looks."

Hualou looked into his eyes, her heart collapsed at this moment, she tried her best to calm herself down, and slowly put the memorial and pen on the desk: "It's the servant who asked the question abruptly, even if Whether it is true or not, not to mention that slaves are not as good as the former crown princess, and what has happened in the past cannot be remembered!"

Donghe looked at her and said: "You said something against your will, can you tell me what you are looking through me? Every time your confused and sad eyes pass through my face that hurt me, Qianji, what kind of hatred do you carry?"

Hualou paused her trembling hands, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Donghe: "Why did your Majesty say that? Qianji just heard too much beauty and felt sorry for it, but she didn't witness it with her own eyes! There is no hatred at all." .”

"Whether it's grief or hatred, sometimes you have to learn to let go." When Donghe told Hualou like this, Hualou really wanted to ask him, if Shen Hualou was in front of him, would he still say these words?

But she never said it, she just said lightly: "Your Majesty, is there anyone in this world who you feel guilty about?"

Donghe didn't answer Hualou's words in the end, but pursed his lips calmly, and Hualou watched him write two words on the rice paper, Kuang Fu!

At that moment, Hualou's heart trembled and wept in the dark night.

Then Donghe wrote another imperial decree, enshrining her as the female in charge of the imperial court, becoming the person in front of the emperor, and a woman with an official position, Donghe allowed her to participate in the government affairs, and went up and down with Donghe, she is now It was also like when she was young, walking on the main hall of the Hall of Martial Arts, she walked step by step, the emperors on the high position have been passed on from generation to generation, she walked on the Hall of Martial Heroes and saw that sitting on the high seat Three generations of emperors, the first emperor is Donghe's grandfather, the second is Donghe's father, and the third is Donghe!

But her mood was different three times. The first time was Donghe's grandma, the queen mother at that time. Now she should be called the empress dowager who led the young girl to this palace. The second time, she was the one who made great contributions to solving the case. , became the first woman who entered the Hall of Martial Arts and was given a title, and was able to participate in government affairs.

Hualou thought that in her life, she would follow Donghe into the Hall of Martial Heroes, and even ascend to that high position once in her life, that is to become Donghe's queen!

However, the world is unpredictable, and fate plays tricks like this. She once again walked up to the Hall of Martial Heroes, to the side of the current emperor, not under the name of Shen Hualou, but her name was Qianji, and she will be called Qianji from now on!
On the first day she became the headmistress, and followed all the courtiers to the court, Donghua and Dongchen both came. On that day, Dongchen stood in front of her and said, "Congratulations."

Hua Lou hooked his lips and replied: "Everything has begun."

Donghua just looked at her indifferently, then looked at Donghe and said mockingly: "This king thought that only Shen Hualou from the past had the ability to walk up to the Hall of Martial Heroes, but I didn't expect that a little maid from Yeting would also go up to the Hall of Martial Arts." After entering the Hall of Martial Arts, and they still look so similar, Donghua walked slowly in front of the painting building, and gently raised her chin. Your Majesty, tell me, will this little maid be the same as back then? Like a painting building, do you want to put this king to death?"

"My lord was joking, Qian Ji is just a little female in charge, not a crown princess, and doesn't have the knowledge and courage of a crown princess!" Hualou replied with a slight smile.

On that day, Donghua laughed and left, and then he did not appear in the court. The cold winter passed very slowly and quickly. It has been half a month since she became the headmistress, and the painting building did not go to see her Donghua, because she was afraid that she would want to do what she wanted to do when she went to the palace!

After being conferred, the courtyard where Hualou lived was moved to the Xunfeng Hall which is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Ru Yang and Ru Xue followed Hualou and moved to Xunfeng Hall. Donghe also arranged for her to serve her with maids and eunuchs according to her official position.

The Xunfeng Hall and the Hall of Mental Cultivation are actually the same palace, but there are a few extra corridors, which are actually very close to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Donghe lives.

Hualou was copying Dong He's handwriting, when Ru Yang suddenly heard: "Girl, something happened."

She frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Ru Yang looked at her and said, "Do you still remember that Taoist priest? The Taoist priest whose eyes were gouged out by you?"

If Ru Yang hadn't mentioned it, Hua Lou would have almost forgotten that such a person existed, at least he was alive.

"Remember? What's wrong?"

"At that time, His Majesty sent him out of the palace to recuperate in a medical center outside the palace, and even sent someone to guard him, but what he did made the guards fall into a deep sleep, unable to wake up, and he disappeared. This is what His Majesty just sent. People come back and talk!" After Ru Yang finished speaking, Hualou slowly put down the pen in his hand.

Ru Yang saw her thinking, and said, "I am afraid that he will come back to seek revenge."

Hua Lou nodded, but Ru Yang continued to comfort her: "But girl, don't worry, the palace is strictly guarded, so it should be fine now."

"You're wrong. Since he was able to cast spells to make the guards faint for a long time without waking up, then he must have almost recovered. If he really escaped by himself, it's not terrible. The terrible thing is Someone brought him out, even brought him into the palace!" As he spoke, he quietly touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the faint red light on the beads made him frown slightly.

"It's too late!"
