Moon White
Thousands of arrows pierce my heart, and all is silent.
I should have a last word, I should have a last word, I don’t have a last word, I don’t need a last word.
King Jin ordered the arrows to be shot!
It was not about shooting arrows. The king ordered all the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows.
Thousands of bows and arrows were drawn and gathered, and the saint's smile was accepted by him.
Autumn leaves in the apricot forest, the Dragon Palace.
In all directions, there is only one bow and arrow that has never been put down, and that bow and arrow is in the hands of the saint.
I don’t know whether His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill the King of Qi or hunt me down.
The King of Qi laughed heartily in my ear. He was clearly about to die, but he laughed heartily, as if he was sure of victory, and laughed like an emperor.
The King of Qi is fighting like a trapped beast.
The saint doesn't mind letting him live for another half a minute.
"He Nu, you abandoned your kingdom for a beauty. You are not worthy of being the emperor of our Li family! The throne should have been mine. You are not worthy of the position. You stole my throne."
The sage said nothing, but the King of Qi laughed wildly.
"He Nu, do you want to compete to see which is faster, your arrow or my sword?"
One ridiculous and cruel word after another rang in my ears.
The King of Jin was also speaking, but I couldn't hear him, and I couldn't understand what he was saying.
The saint still didn't say a word.
The Li brothers fought for power and it was a life-and-death struggle.
What they fight for, what they live and die for, is my life.
I was doomed to die, and I was in great agony.
They drag their feet and don't let me die happily.
"Father, open your eyes and look. This is the crown prince you carefully taught. He is willing to give away the Li family's throne for a woman. Father, you have been smart all your life, but in the end you still misjudged him."
They talked about everything under the sun at the critical moment of my life and death, leaving me alone to suffer.
"He Nu, you defeated me for half a minute, but I will make you suffer for half your life... Your Majesty the Emperor... If I lose, you can't win..."
Yan Lin didn't listen to me.
"Li Junqing, I just want to beat you just this once!"
If Mr. Li doesn't do it, I will do it myself.
"Li Nu, He Nu and I live together, and you, die together with me. Only if you die, only then can I defeat He Nu."
I took out a dagger from my sleeve and said, "No one is allowed to trespass into my apricot garden."
"Li Nu, you don't know, He Nu...he has been..."
My dagger pierced into the King of Qi's abdomen first, and the saint's white feather arrow followed closely and shot into the King of Qi's heart.
The King of Qi attempted to assassinate his sovereign but was defeated and was shot dead by a sage with an arrow in the apricot forest outside Chang'an.
The rebellious king Li Junyi died on the spot!
The King of Qi's sword didn't hurt me at all, but the saint's arrow grazed my left arm and pierced the King of Qi's chest.
He Nu's archery skills are not as good as mine.
Killing two enemies with one arrow is easy for him.
Killing the King of Qi with one arrow was as easy as pie for him.
It is not as difficult as climbing to the sky to hurt me and kill the King of Qi.
My life was spared, and I received a wound on my left arm which was not fatal.
He Nu shot this arrow on purpose.
I have paid back my revenge with one arrow, and the saint will return it to me with one arrow.
The saint hates me, but it’s not that he is reluctant to kill me.
The reason why they kept me was that I was of some use to them.
The King of Qi was dead, and blood was oozing from the Master's wound. I pressed my wound and watched the Saint, despite the King of Jin's objections, personally check whether the King of Qi had really died.
I watched as the Saint pulled a square handkerchief embroidered with bamboo branches from the Rebel King's arms.
That was the bamboo branch I embroidered for Zhuzhi many years ago.
The saint threw it away casually and threw it on the face of Li Er, who had already been defeated and killed.
Covering the face with bamboo branches and white scarf.
I would be very happy if there was no Li Junyi in the world anymore.
I drew my dagger, not caring about my fresh wound. I rushed through the forest, searching everywhere for Ah Xiang, Yuan Xiao, Xi'er...
The King of Qi plotted rebellion and attempted to assassinate the sage, nearly endangering the emperor. This was due to the King of Jin's dereliction of duty. The King of Jin was guilty of a serious crime, and for this one crime he lost his status as a prince, and had no choice but to return to King Guangcheng.
After the death of the rebel king, the sage ordered his head to be beheaded and his body thrown into the wilderness in the southern suburbs. The evil head was hung at Tonghua Gate for six years.
Jinyang and Huaiyang are still the eldest princesses, but they only enter and leave Chang'an City and no longer go through Tonghua Gate.
The four brothers, Prince Ning, Prince Rong, Prince Liang and Prince Rui, could not escape the suffering of imprisonment.
The Xue family did not have to suffer hardships and were exiled to a remote place. All the members of the family, young and old, men and women, were beheaded, and no one was spared except Concubine Xue.
Of course, this also includes the concubine of the Prince of Qi.
Both were guilty of treason, Feng was exiled and Xue was beheaded.
It seems that Concubine Feng is more favored by the emperor.
The saint was assassinated outside the city of Chang'an, and the Empress Dowager of Taiji Palace ordered the imperial edict to be conveyed.
As soon as the King of Qi died, Eunuch Dong hurried to my apricot garden.
He followed the Empress Dowager's orders and asked the Saint to return to the palace.
When the sage was in danger, the queen mother was afraid and also gave in.
She gave the fish token that controlled the military power of the world to the saint, and also gave the southwestern Yizhou to the saint's trusted generals. Empress Dowager Feng had only one request, which was to let the saint return to Taiji Palace as soon as possible.
The assassination attempt by the King of Qi indirectly allowed the young emperor to seize half of the power.
Blood dyed my clothes red, and red soaked the saint's robe.
Concubine Dong looked at the Saint's right arm, then at my left arm. He circled around the Saint, then around me, exclaiming, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"You two are both among the most noble ladies in Taiji Palace. Apart from the Empress Dowager, who else can compare to you two? How could you be injured so badly?" asked Noble Lady Dong.
"All the imperial guards are dead? All the palace soldiers are dead?" he shouted.
"This...this...how can I report this to the Queen Mother?" He tried to protect himself.
"Who is it? Who is so blind? Come out now! If I catch you, I will tear this daring traitor into pieces!" Eunuch Dong kept talking.
The saint was hurt by me, and I was hurt by the saint.
The saint is a traitor, and I am a rebellious minister.
No one among millions of people dared to say a word.
Before the emperor returns to the palace, the saint is in the imperial carriage. Eunuch Zhu comes to deliver a message to me, to my Xinglin and to tell me the message.
When Eunuch Zhu came, Yan Qi was abruptly advising me to go back to Taiji Palace. I listened and just laughed it off.
Yan Lin still advised me to return to the Yan family, but I sneered.
The noble lady Zhu who was beside the emperor told me that the saint liked me, a person from the apricot forest, very much.
In my apricot forest, there are only Ah Xiang, Xier, Yuan Xiao, and a few ripe apricots hanging on the treetops.
Saint, who do you fancy?
That night under the moon in the forest, the person the sage was gazing at was Xier. I had already guessed what the young man from the Li family liked.
Xier was canonized as Han Chongrong.
He favored Concubine Feng and Concubine Xue, and neglected Concubine Zheng. When it came to Han Chongrong, He Nu's eyes finally recovered...
What a pity, I thought to myself, I feel sorry for Xier, I feel sorry for her, but with Xier's talent and beauty, it would not be an exaggeration to make her a concubine.
During my time in Xinglin, I always regretted that I met Xier too late. If I had met her when I was at the height of my power, I could easily have saved their family from the palace.
Xier knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict, but there was no joy on her face about being made a concubine.
She was afraid of the Saint and seemed reluctant, so I could only comfort her, "If you become the Imperial Concubine, your sister in the Painting Academy will be able to live a stable life, your mother can leave the Imperial Court, no one will dare to bully your sister anymore, and your sisters in the clan will no longer have to toil."
"Isn't the Marquis going back to Taiji Palace?"
I said a lot of things, but Xier only asked me this one question.
Having finally escaped, I will definitely not go back to Taiji Palace.
"When I am second only to you, you must protect me and think about me. I will wait for you to be second only to me."
I'm talking about something else.
I hope Xier will have many children and be blessed with good fortune. When a prince or princess is born in the palace, and when Yuanzi of Taiji Palace is born, maybe Rudi will be able to return from Guizhou.
Just as Zhuzhi said, the love between husband and wife is higher than the sky. Xier and I still have some friendship as sworn sisters, but after some time, she will look at me with resentment and hatred as a saint would look at me.
She entered the Taiji Palace again. From then on, Xier and I would go our separate ways, regardless of wind or rain.
I can only be thankful that the saint didn't like Ah Xiang or Yuan Xiao... If it was either of them, I would have found it difficult to let go.
Eunuch Zhu also said that even saints like Xinglin.
Xingzilin is my grandfather’s inheritance, my land, but it is also Yuan Xiao’s hard work.
Yuan Xiao’s years of hard work were taken away so easily by the saint.
All under heaven belongs to the king. All within the four seas are the king's subjects.
All the women in the six palaces belong to the saint.
Xier was crying, and Yuan Xiao was crying too.
I don’t know how to comfort Yuan Xiao, nor do I know how to comfort Xier.
He is a saint. The whole world belongs to him, not to mention the apricot forest, let alone the people in the forest.
Yuan Xiao and Xier are both sadder than me.
I forced myself to smile, but there was nothing I could do.
That is the will of the saint, who dares to disobey?
Xinglin, I don’t want it anymore.
It was never mine.
Xier, I don’t want it either.
She's not mine either.
My clothes were stained with blood, a fishy red.
"Marquis Luoyang is so seriously injured, why not return to Taiji Palace to recuperate?"
Eunuch Dong cared about me, but I pretended not to hear him.
"Han Chongrong is frightened, why don't you stay by his side?"
I wish my father-in-law's hands and feet are still lazy. He loves to enslave me and order me around. He refuses to repent, and I still ignore him.
Lady Zhu was frightened by the King of Qi. It is Your Majesty's job to comfort Han Chongrong. Xier should hide in the arms of the saint, not in my arms. I cannot afford to delay their affection.
I am happy that Li Er is dead, but as for Zhuzhi, I can't save her.
Yuan Xiao was very sad, but I almost lost my life in the medical field. Yuan Xiao was self-righteous and said that it was his fault.
That day, no one in Xinglin showed any joy, including the saint in the imperial carriage.
I glanced at him and didn't even sneer. The saint had a gloomy expression that was intolerable to heaven and earth, without a trace of joy.
I took Ah Xiang and Yuan Xiao with me and did not return to the Yan family, nor did I return to the Taiji Palace. Instead, I returned to the Luoyang Marquis Mansion in Xingningfang.
I had no idea what the King of Jin said that day.
A few years later, at Guanyin Temple, Yan Qi told me about every word that King Jin said that day in Xinglin.
The words of the King of Jin are the meaning of the sage.
The King of Qi's knife threatened my life. The Saint promised not to pursue the King of Qi's fault. Your Majesty offered to exchange all of Concubine Xue's children, the lives of the entire Xue family, and a hundred years of wealth and glory in exchange for my life, but the King of Qi refused to make the exchange.
The lord promised to let the King of Qi be king in his fiefdom, and never pursue him, never investigate, never hold him accountable, and never attack him. He would allow him to mint coins privately, sell salt privately, store grain and support soldiers, and mine gold privately. He would posthumously confer the title of emperor on him, but the King of Qi remained unmoved.
His Majesty was willing to appoint the Prince of Qi as the crown prince. He used the emperor's name as a guarantor to appease the noble families and promised that the king would keep his word, but the Prince of Qi did not grant his consent.
The King of Qi hated the sage from birth to death, and Erlang had long coveted the throne.
The sage was afraid of the King of Qi from birth to death, and Dalang had always loved the throne.
Did the sage grant the Prince of Qi his fiefdom? Did His Majesty posthumously confer the title of Emperor on Erlang? Did His Majesty appoint the Crown Prince at a young age?
Is it the King of Qi who is crazy, or is it the saint who is crazy?
I don’t know if it’s Yan Qi’s ears that are broken or my ears that are broken?
I think it was King Jin who went crazy, and King Guangcheng who went crazy.
I thought it was a joke.
This was nothing but a teasing and insult from the ruler of the world to a stray dog, but Yan Qi actually believed it. The Yan family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the family business is in danger when it comes to Dalang's generation!
