Moon White
For me, only tears are real.
Saint, only smile is real.
With a frown on his face, he looked at my bloody face with his smile on his face.
"Ayan used to hate studying. I taught her day and night, but she didn't make any progress in the past few years. Now, she can remember and understand you. This is all thanks to you."
Tell me what you want to say. The saint's eyes were fixed on Xier, never leaving her.
Xier did not dare to take credit rashly, but only knelt down to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor.
Saint, you did not pursue my crime of regicide, nor did you delve into my crime of deceiving the emperor, nor did you disturb the emperor to return to Taiji Palace.
But just leave a sentence.
"There are no fox demons or ghosts in the palace..."
He left and returned to his palace with the arrow wound.
The saint is gone.
Prince Jin, Eunuch Zhu, never left.
Ah Xiang brought a basin of clean water, and I washed away the blood and tears, and cleaned the saint's masterpiece. King Jin never left.
Eunuch Zhu took advantage of my inattention and tidied my clothes. Xier didn't understand why and just told him to stop immediately.
The Prince of Jin wants me to go to the temporary palace, and Eunuch Zhu invites me to the temporary palace.
I refused to leave.
"You are the one who hurt His Majesty. If you don't take personal care of him, who will take the blame for you?"
The King of Jin was extremely furious, but Eunuch Zhu just nodded.
Now, asking me to take personal care of the saint is simply a dream!
“Saint, I have indeed hurt you…” I confessed.
Pointing at Prince Jin, I said, "It was you, Your Majesty, who neglected your duty. As the Sage's personal guard and the leader of the Imperial Guards, you should have stayed by His Majesty's side every step of the way. The Sage is as precious as gold and jade, a thousand times more precious. If Your Majesty hadn't failed to protect us, how could His Majesty have been injured by a mere arrow?"
"you!"
The King of Jin said there was nothing to say, he just wanted to kill me.
"Your Majesty has conferred the title of Prince of Li upon you, and I am also a marquis favored by the Queen Mother. If the Prince of Jin dares to disrespect me again, you are disrespecting Xingqing Palace. Under heaven, the Sage is supreme, and above the Sage, the Queen Mother rules over Taiji Palace. If Your Majesty disobeys me, if you disobey the current Queen Mother, let's go to Taiji Palace immediately and see whether the Queen Mother will question me first or you first."
I am unreasonable, I am the host, and I am arrogant because of my favor.
The King of Jin was so angry that he almost rode away through the forest, but was stopped by Zhu Buxiu.
I wish you to stay in Xinglin, still have not given up, and still refuse to leave.
I pointed at my clogged ears and said, "Noble Zhu, you want a disabled person to take care of the Saint? What's the point of the Li family raising you? What's the use of the Saint having you? Why not report this to the Empress Dowager immediately so that she can expel you from Taiji Palace tonight!"
Prince Jin abandoned Lin and wanted to leave. Eunuch Zhu was in a dilemma. He had to leave for his own life.
I walked them out of the forest, still aggressively saying, "Most of the people in my Xinglin are women. Your Majesty is the king of the Li family, and although you are an inner court official, you are all men..."
"Whoever dares to enter this apricot forest again, I will make sure they never return."
I uttered a harsh word.
The words were told to Li Junming and Zhu Buxiu explicitly, but were actually addressed to the saint of the Li family.
He Nu, you can come and go in my Xinglin as you please. If he dares to come again, I will take his life.
I hid the dagger in my sleeve, keeping it with me at all times, day and night.
I am eloquent, I triumph, I escape blame.
The apricots have fallen and the apricot leaves have turned yellow.
If the sage doesn’t return to Taiji Palace, I will go back to Chang’an.
I didn't want to go back to Chang'an.
Xier's father and brother were both ordered to be executed by the previous emperor.
She feared the late emperor, and even more so the saint.
She was frightened at night and could only sleep peacefully in my arms.
There is an important matter in Chang'an. The wedding of Prince Shu and Princess Shu is imminent. If I delay even a minute, the couple will punish me by making me drink three full cups each.
The day before the wedding, we packed up the manuscripts and papers without letting anyone else know.
It was also on that day that the news of the saint's injury spread like wildfire. It was not reported to Empress Dowager Feng in Taiji Palace, but the secret was discovered by Li Erlang in the residence of Prince Qi.
The King of Qi and his subordinates disguised themselves and escaped from the King of Jin's guard, escaped from the King of Qi's house, escaped from Yongfufang, and escaped from Chang'an City.
Kill all the way to the palace outside the city.
With tens of thousands of imperial troops, the King of Qi had no chance of winning.
The King of Qi failed in his attempt to assassinate the sage, and all his rebel followers were captured.
Li Erlang panicked and made a desperate attempt to escape from the Li family palace to the Yan family apricot forest.
The Rebel King held Xier hostage with a knife in front of me.
Xier, her father and brother were shot and killed by my brother himself.
She and I are natural enemies.
Xier's life is in the hands of King Qi, but she told me to escape quickly.
Of the two people in front of me, one has been harmed by my Yan family for half his life, and the other has lost everything because of me.
They are all my mortal enemies.
I could have jumped out the window.
But Xier is me. She is me after the Yan family was defeated five years ago. How could I not care about myself?
This is a grudge between me and Li Erlang, and has nothing to do with others.
"Let her go." I made a deal with the King of Qi.
I used my life to exchange for Xier leaving Xinglin.
The imperial guards arrived immediately, and Your Excellency visited my apricot garden immediately.
The King of Qi held his knife against my neck, and he dragged me out of the house and into the apricot forest.
Tens of thousands of imperial guards were everywhere and surrounded the Rebel King and me.
Ten thousand arrows are more numerous than fallen leaves.
This autumn, the apricot forest does not produce autumn leaves, but arrow feathers.
Outside the house, I saw soldiers and armor lined up, leaving no place for the goblins and ghosts to hide.
I saw the sage, the King of Jin, sitting on his horse. I also saw Yan Qi dismounting and kneeling down in tears, probably begging the sage to save my life.
"Your Majesty, do you want her or your throne?"
The King of Qi’s voice was so harsh that it almost pierced my injured ears.
The King of Qi is crazy!
What a joke is he talking about?
Without the careful guidance of his father-in-law, Minister Xiao, the King of Qi revealed his true nature in a few moves.
I haven't seen Sanlang for many days, and I haven't seen Shengren for several days. I can't figure out, among these sons of the Li family, who do I hate the most?
At the moment, there is no doubt that it is Li Erlang.
"Li Junqing, you and I have lived together for twenty years. If I don't know what you are thinking, wouldn't my life be in vain? If you want her to live, you have to exchange your life for hers!"
The saint remains unmoved.
The King of Qi was at the end of his rope, and Li Erlang was in a state of confusion.
He was in a panic and had no idea what to do.
The King of Qi captured me and tried to use me to threaten the Saint.
He made many stupid moves.
Saint, the emperor of the Li family.
In the north of Chang'an, whose life is worthy enough to exchange for the throne of the saint and the life of the emperor?
Empress Dowager Feng, Princess Leyang, Concubine Feng, Concubine Xue, Empress Yang, Concubine Zheng, Prince Jin, Mr. Tan from Princess Taikang's mansion, Eunuch Zhu, and Eunuch Chang, these are the saint's closest relatives and beloved ones.
If I use them as bargaining chips, the King of Qi still has a chance of survival. He is threatening me. In the apricot forest, if I can eliminate two enemies in one day, the saint will only clap his hands and send me off with a smile.
If you use Ah Xiang, Xier and Yuan Xiao to threaten the emperor, they are the people of Chang'an and the subjects of the emperor, and they are a hundred times stronger than me.
The King of Qi had no plans at all, let alone the slightest chance of winning.
"Your life is more valuable than the vast empire." The King of Qi whispered in my ear, his knife never dropping. He threatened me, "Li Nu, quickly ask He Nu to trade the throne for you."
The King of Qi is crazy!
And he dragged me along to go crazy!
My Lord, the two people he hates the most can die together in one day, so why would he save me?
If I ask a saint for help, I will end up making a fool of myself.
It is better to die at the hands of the Yan family than to die at the hands of the saint, the King of Qi, the King of Jin, or the hands of the Li family.
"Yan Qi... Da Lang, dry your tears, pick up your bow and arrow, and kill me!"
I shouted.
Concubine Xue died at my hands. She died in extreme pain and in a tragic way. She did not have any of the honor and dignity of a concubine when she died, and she was even worse than Concubine Guo.
I killed the King of Qi's mother and took everything he had. He wants to drag me to death with him, but I am not afraid.
I will die in my own apricot forest, in the apricot forest left to me by my grandfather.
I have no regrets at all for killing Concubine Xue and imprisoning the Xue family.
It would be nice to die here, to die in the Yan family. There is no need to return to one's roots.
The autumn leaves are falling, the apricot trees are turning yellow, the autumn flowers are bleak, and the year has come to an end.
The sky is not high, the earth is not long, and the Yellow Springs is right before my eyes.
I never thought that I would die together with Li Erlang.
The saint smiled coldly.
King Jin gave an order and ordered all the soldiers to shoot arrows!
Thousands of arrows are fired at once, and the net is as tight as heaven and earth, leaving no place to hide.
King Qi, you can’t fly away even if you have wings.
And I was only seventeen years old.
