Chapter 1 Desperate
cold……

Even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, it can't resist the penetration of the cold.

The thin quilt, which was as cold as iron, couldn't resist the biting chill, Lian Jin tried to curl up in the dark room, as if he could retain some warmth in this way.She closed her eyes quietly, and her breathing slowed to the extreme.If there was light at this moment, one could clearly see the criss-crossing sores on her exposed skin.

On face, neck, hands.She had been bedridden for a long time, and she had already lost her vitality.Pus developed from the sores, scabs formed and then peeled off, and new sores began.Old and new scars were densely scattered all over her skin, and even looking at it would make her scalp tingle.

She lay quietly for a long time, martial arts practitioners have amazing hearing, they can clearly hear the howling wind outside, the dilapidated doors and windows being blown and creaked, everything seemed abrupt but real in this quiet room.

It should have some sound.She sighed in her heart.These years in the cold palace were too lonely, she no longer knew how old she was, how many days and nights she had passed.This body is getting worse day by day.

In the biting cold wind, there was a vague sound of guards cursing and swearing. It seemed to be such a cold day, but they had to guard this ghostly place.Lian Jin was still lying quietly, his pus-filled eyelids did not move.Until there was the sound of wheels rolling in the distance, the sparse eyelashes trembled slightly, she turned her face slightly, and this time she could hear more clearly, the sound of the soft sedan landing, the sound of greetings from the guards at the door, and——

Pushing open the palace door, the sound of footsteps gradually approaching.

Lian Jin slowly opened his eyes.

Since she was relegated to this cold palace, she has never seen any outsiders except the nanny who came to deliver meals on time every day.

She opened her eyes, listening to the footsteps gradually approaching, one step, two steps, the door was pushed open, and after a burst of light footsteps, it closed again silently.

Even with her eyes closed, she could know who the footsteps came from.

The current queen who replaced her is also her half-sister, Lian Qinru.

She seemed to have picked up a fire, and suddenly there was a light that illuminated the whole house.

Lian Jin turned his face and met Lian Qinru's face that was [-]% similar to his own.She is covered with luxurious ornaments, which are even more charming under the candlelight. How can her face be compared with her current face?
She spoke, and her voice became hoarse and unpleasant due to years of coughing, "How could the empress condescend to come here, isn't she afraid of bad luck?"

Lian Qinru smiled slightly, becoming more graceful and dignified under the candlelight.She looked at the sick man quietly for a while.Described like this, hidden in the flickering lights, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

She didn't know the nausea at all and watched from the beginning to the end. At the end, she sighed and said: "Sister, why bother? If you didn't fight with me all these years, how could you end up in this situation."

Lian Jin took a deep breath and said, "Why are you bothering to inoculate the poison? If you don't use a stronger one, it will save you a lot of time."

Lian Qinru shook her head, and said: "How can I be willing to let my sister die so easily. My sister has dominated the battlefield and made great contributions to the royal family. Even though she is a deposed queen, she will die with great vigor." She paused, and then said: "Do you know what this poison is?"

Lian Jin turned his face away, unwilling to take another look at this face that seemed to be his own.

Even Qinru was not annoyed, walked around the bed, and sighed: "These days are indeed hard for you, living in such a dilapidated place, not even a servant. But, if you are not so Stubbornness, there is still room for improvement. Lian Jin, do you know what you did wrong the most in your life?"

Still no answer.Lian Qinru simply walked to the window and opened the dusty window.The bleak sunlight came in from the window, barely falling on Lian Jin's face.

It was shocking.

She subconsciously covered her face with her hands.

Lian Qinru was afraid that it would not be enough, so she simply opened all the windows in the room, the room was bright in an instant, and even the flying dust was very clear.

She giggled twice.

"Sister, why bother blocking it? Oh, by the way, you don't know what your face looks like at the moment, do you?"

She turned around and finally found a small bronze mirror in the corner.He took it and put it in front of her, forced her to remove her hand blocking the light, and forced her to look at her own horrible face in the mirror.

If it is not winter, I am afraid that insects and ants will be attracted.

With just one glance, it was as if the wind outside the window had blown onto the face, causing pain like scratching the bone and digging out the marrow.

Lian Jin waved Lian Qinru's hand away fiercely, and said: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, why do all these dirty things!"

The bronze mirror fell to the ground, and with a clang, a cloud of dust was stirred up.Lian Qinru smiled indifferently, and said: "What I hate the most is your face. You are just a concubine, why should you have a face like mine? Speaking of dirty tricks, I dare not Competing with my sister for glory."

Word by word, she recounted Lian Jin's great achievements in this life one by one, as if counting her life——

To betray one's father and steal a military talisman is unfilial;

Assisting the second prince Xiao Hao, killing the prince and usurping the throne, this is disloyalty;

It is injustice to kill loyal ministers and pacify the government and the opposition.

She helped Xiao Hao become a great treasure, and she was willing to become a sinner scolded by thousands of people for him, only in exchange for a vain queen.

Afterwards, he seized her military power and claimed that she wanted her to feel at ease and respect the world, and she believed it.

Half a year later, Xiao Hao married Lian Qinru, the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion with the gift of a queen, claiming that he wanted to stabilize the hearts of the Taifu and the General's Mansion, and she believed it.

Later, he seized her back seat and secluded her in the cold palace, and never saw her again.How can she not believe it.

There was brilliance in her eyes, hatred and shame, all kinds of expressions flashed one by one for a while, Lian Qinru watched with relish, obviously enjoying the process.

Lian Jin closed his eyes fiercely, and didn't respond any more, like a dying person, turned into a pool of stagnant water.

But Lian Qinru obviously didn't intend to let her go.

The medicine she had worked so hard to find was waiting for the moment of death, so that she could not sleep peacefully even after death.

She smiled, and said word by word with the same gentle voice as before: "Sister, do you still remember the daughter who was stabbed to death by your sword?"

Lian Jin opened his eyes and looked at her, with hatred accumulated in his eyes, how could she not remember?She gave birth to two children in this life, the first one was stillborn, and finally had the second one. At that time, she realized that the king's love is nothingness, only this only sustenance, but was taught by this bitch The good daughter who came out was choked to death!
"Instigating a five-year-old child to do such an outrageous thing, Lian Qinru, you are not as good as a pig or a dog!"

Lian Qinru laughed again, slowly stroking the bright red Kodan in her hand, and wrote lightly: "It's not my baby, so I don't care."

Lian Jin was slightly taken aback, "What did you say?"

"I said, she wasn't my baby. Sister, didn't you ever doubt that stillborn child?"

Lian Jin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and stared at her fixedly, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her face, the face that was already bloodless suddenly turned pale, and even the sores on the face were shocking.

Lian Qinru's tone suddenly turned sharp, "I am younger than you in pregnancy, but you entered the palace first. I want to overthrow you and need a child. I took birth-inducing medicine just to give birth earlier than you. But In an accident, the child was born and died. My dear sister, you were born like me, but fate also likes to joke. Hurry up, we both gave birth on the same day. My child died, I am so sad, but I After all, with your child, I feel even more sad when I think of you losing your child, and my sadness seems to be a little less."

She had a slight smile on her face when she spoke, and her whole body was bathed in sunlight, unconsciously carrying a holy appearance, so dazzling that people couldn't look away.But after hearing her words, Lian Jin suddenly trembled.

She said in disbelief: "You said Han'er is my daughter?"

Afraid that she might not see clearly, Lian Qinru nodded slowly but firmly.

"Your eldest daughter smothered your younger daughter to death, and then you killed your eldest daughter with your own hands. Lian Jin, tell me, who is worse than you and me? Pity the effect of this medicine today It's coming to an end, on Huangquan Road, why don't you ask your two daughters whether I'm more hateful or you, my own mother, are more hateful."

Lian Jin trembled violently, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Poison woman!"

She shouted angrily, leaned up suddenly, and grabbed Lian Qinru by the throat.

She was originally a military commander, her palm strength is better than that of ordinary women, but now she used all her strength in this desperate fight, and she will definitely drag this poisonous woman to hell with her.

Unexpectedly, there was a flash of white light in front of her eyes, she stared down at the long sword sunk into her chest in a daze, and as soon as she loosened her strength, Lian Qinru was immediately dragged away.

She raised her head slowly, and looked at Xiao Hao, the handsome man she once loved deeply, but saw Xiao Hao holding Lian Qinru in his arms, staring at her coldly.As if he was extremely disappointed and hated her poisonously, when he opened his mouth, he said "poisonous woman!"

She had seen this look when she stabbed Han's child to death, and he was also like this at that time, extremely disappointed, and angrily scolded the poisonous woman.

She has seen him in thousands of ways, from gentleness at first, to wariness later, to hatred.She was so convinced that she could make up for his shortcomings.

He is meek, so let her do the decisive thing;
His ears are soft, so he will get rid of the treacherous people by himself;
He couldn't bear it, as long as he wanted, she could do it for him.

So let him be a benevolent monarch, and she alone can resist all the notoriety.

She accompanied this man to the throne through blood, but in the end, she watched him show such a gentle look to her.

She paused slightly, her strength seemed to be slowly slanted out along the edge of the sword.She had no choice but to hold on to the sword, barely supporting herself.

On the other side, Lian Qinru choked and said: "Sister, I really want to hire you an imperial doctor this time. After trying to persuade you for a long time, why do you only focus on the things of the past... Han'er is just a child. How can you be so..."

As soon as she mentioned Han'er, Lian Jin hated him again.Only with a slight movement of the body, the tip of the sword penetrated another inch into the flesh.She slowly raised her face and stared into Xiao Hao's eyes.

These eyes once gave her the most timely warmth when she suffered all the supercilious looks from the government.

These eyes gave her selfless tenderness when she was practicing martial arts hard.

It was also these eyes, at this moment, so straightforwardly filled with disgust.

I don't want to look at her again, her ugly face may have a vicious heart.

Xiao Hao said word by word: "If the queen hadn't come to visit you secretly, no one would know about your death in this cold palace. But your heart is so vicious, how can I forget that you don't even want to be an immature child?" Let it go, if it wasn't for someone from the Queen's Palace to report it, if it wasn't for my momentary uneasiness, I'm afraid Ru'er would be killed by you today. Lian Jin, you let me down so much!"

He turned his face away, refusing to look at her again.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Lian Qinru took so much effort to inflict such poison, just for today, let Xiao Hao witness her ugliest side.

Blood snaked down the corner of his lips, Lian Jin lowered his head, not looking at any of them again.One word at a time, he said loudly and authentically: "Xiao Hao, Lian Qinru, I, Lian Jin, curse you not to end well."

After saying that, she leaned forward suddenly, the sword sank into her chest in an instant, she seemed to tremble, and her head drooped heavily.

Xiao Hao threw away the sword abruptly, and Lian Jin's body crookedly fell down together with the sword, the blood spread and stained the bed.

In the tenth year of Emperor Jingze, Lian Jin died of illness in the palace after being deposed. Because of many murders in his life, he was buried outside the imperial mausoleum and could not enter the imperial mausoleum forever.
