Chapter 506: Regicide is more satisfying than killing enemy troops.
The sound of fighting has stopped. There is no thunder, no lightning, and even the wind is silent.
It seems that the way of heaven is tired.
But how can the way of heaven be tired? It is clearly open-eyed.
A crack appeared in the dark sky. The moon came out, and the moonlight washed the blood on the palace wall. The light was almost merciful. The gods personally opened the curtain for this murder, and applauded when the crime ended.
Wei Zhao said in a faint voice: "It turns out that regicide is more satisfying than killing enemy troops."
————
The blood soaked the nine-story palace.
Several corpses floated in the pond of the imperial garden.
The news from the other side has not yet come.
The maid in the Cining Palace was shaking violently. After spilling the tea, she fell to the ground in fear.
"I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The gilded enamel armor tapped the Ru kiln teacup lightly. The empress dowager leaned on the peony brocade cushion, and the nine-phoenix step-shaking with pearls on her temples did not move at all.
"What are you panicking about?"
She suddenly chuckled, with long-lost joy hidden in the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
The white jade bracelet on her wrist was given to her by the late emperor when he made her the empress. She wore it every day because of her status. But
now she took it off.
She raised her hand to mid-air. She let go
without any reluctance.
The bracelet fell, bounced twice on the blue brick floor with a clear and crisp sound, and broke into three pieces. It commemorated the years she had been imprisoned by the royal family and had no choice but to endure.
The bracelet glowed in the candlelight, like, and like the sneer on the corner of the empress dowager's mouth that had not been restrained in time.
"It's the emperor who deserves death, not you."
The maid was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe.
The maid beside the Queen Mother couldn't stand it any longer: "Okay, clean up the dirt on the ground, lest the Queen see it and feel bad."
"Put your heart in your stomach. No matter what happens outside, this fire will never burn to the Cining Palace."
Ying Zhi was rebelling, and he was also rebelling against the emperor. Could it be that at a critical moment, he had to send people to kill all the concubines in the harem first?
Shen Jin stood under the window. The sky outside was getting brighter, and she could vaguely smell the blood in the air.
"Ah Jin." The
Queen Mother waved at her.
Shen Jin turned around and walked closer.
The Queen Mother held her cold hand.
"Why are you panicking too?"
Shen Jin did not hide it from her: "I'm worried about Wei Zhao."
The Queen Mother remembered that Shen Jin had nothing to do with the Shunguo Mansion.
"I know that you hate the Ying family, so you are afraid that Wei Zhao will not be able to defeat them."
Shen Jin: ...
That's not the case.
The Queen Mother said: "In fact, I am also worried. He is Yaoyao's husband. If he gets hurt or something happens to him, the girl, despite her calmness, will cry."
"But you have to have confidence in those young people."
If they can't do it, I'm afraid no one can do it.
"Think more about the good things."
"For example... what are your plans for the future?"
The Queen Mother smiled: "This palace is not a place for people to stay. I am old and don't want to toss around. But how can I let you stay here for the rest of your life?"
She said word by word.
"Something happened in the palace. After today, Concubine Shen passed away. There is no Shen Jin in the world anymore."
"It's okay to stay in the capital, or go out of the capital to relax, and see the scenery outside for me."
Shen Jin laughed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will be recognized?"
"What if I am recognized? I said you are dead, who dares to say anything?"
"Have you forgotten?"
Shen Jin reminded: "Those four old ministers?"
Even Emperor Ying Qian couldn't do anything about them.
The Queen Mother paused.
Shen Jin: "Especially Duke Xian."
After all, if the other three were to get stubborn, only he could stop them. The Queen Mother
seemed to have not heard of this person for a long time.
The figure in her memory began to blur.
She even forgot what Duke Xian looked like when he was young. She only remembered the last few words that person said to her when she entered the palace
and was appointed as a concubine. ——"Your Highness, please take care of yourself when you go to the deep palace. I will also respect my parents' orders to marry a wife and heir to the court to fulfill my filial piety."
——"I only wish your Highness good health and long-lasting happiness."
——"The Yaohuang peony flowers that I just planted outside my study will be trimmed on time. There is no shortage of them in the palace. If your Highness sees them in the Imperial Garden one day, it will be... a greeting from an old friend."
Yaohuang peony flowers?
Yaohuang peony flowers were her favorite before she got married.
The Queen Mother also remembered what she said at the time.
She smiled lightly at that time, her eyes were sparkling with tears.
——"Then I must ask for a cup of wedding wine, but I am in a hurry to enter the palace, and I am afraid I can't catch up with the good day of the master."
The east wind was bad, and they were all rational, so they should have dispersed.
——"What a coincidence, I just ordered someone to burn the peach blossom paper I collected last year yesterday."
——"I wish you and your new wife to live in harmony and have many children and grandchildren."
She was free and relieved.
——"As for the Yaohuang peony outside the master's courtyard, it is notoriously delicate and difficult to raise. Rather than wasting time, it is better to pull them all out and not keep them." It 's
good.
That man did have many children and grandchildren.
She...
is not bad either.
Jiashan Xuran treated her like a half-biological mother, and was filial to her in everything.
There is also someone to rely on.
The Queen Mother: "He should not embarrass you."
Shen Jin was half-believing and half-doubting.
The Queen Mother continued: "Zhiyi is filial to your aunt, and will settle you down."
But Shen Jin was silent for a long time.
"What's wrong? Do you really want to stay with an old woman like me for the rest of your life?"
The Queen Mother thought of something, her expression slightly moved: "You are about the same age as Jiashan, but if you want to marry again, I will be happier if you get a good husband and more people love you."
At this point, she became interested. She
even wanted to find a candidate for Shen Jin.
"I won't marry again."
Shen Jin's fingertips unconsciously touched the jade pendant on her waist.
Her eyebrows flashed with tenderness.
"I have a place to go. "
Where can I go?
Shen Jin has lived in the deep palace for many years. Apart from Shen Zhi, how can she contact anyone else?
She would not recognize anyone else in the Shen family, and she had long regarded her natal family as extinct.
"Are you preparing to buy a house?" The Queen Mother understood
: "That's good ." Shen Jin smiled lightly. "No." "I..." She hesitated for a moment. The words should have burned her mouth. But for some reason, they were particularly smooth and gentle when they came out of her mouth. Her tone was also very frank. Finally, she was qualified to reveal what was weighing on her heart. "I should go to my husband's house." The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, okay, as long as there is a place to go." Wait. Her smile froze. "Husband...husband's house?" What the hell. How could she not know. Right here, footsteps were heard outside. Outside the palace, the guards sent by Gu Fuju to protect her safety a few days ago spoke respectfully. "General Wei." Wei Zhao showed up, so it can be seen that... it worked? The Queen Mother was overjoyed and didn't bother to ask any more questions. "Quick! Let him in!" The stone in her heart fell to the ground completely. She put her hands together: "Amitabha, God is open." As she said, she stood up to greet him. Shen Jin stood up with her and supported her. The killing in the palace ended, and the tightly closed hall was opened. Shen Jin was a little dazed . The blood stains on Wei Zhao's face had not yet dried. He stood upright and strode in. At first glance, he had some shadows of Wei Fengyuan. Wei Zhao saluted the Queen Mother first . Then he looked at Shen Jin. He bowed deeply. "Aunt." He smiled. "My nephew will take you back home."
