The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics
Chapter 288 Brother, We Are Not So Good, Are We?
Chapter 288 Brother, We Are Not So Good, Are We?
Generally speaking, the word "gongzi" has many harsh additional conditions, especially in a dynasty with a large number of talents, the competition for these two words is particularly fierce.First of all, this person must be good-looking, graceful and handsome, secondly, he must have wisdom, he must be good-looking, he must have power and change, and then he must be virtuous, he must be gentle and elegant, and he must be as gentle as jade. , In the end, you need to have a family background, you want Zhu Lunhuahu, and you want a jade pot to shine.
However, these should not be too much, it must be just right, it must make people feel that the word "Gongzi" is a title of respect that people unconsciously admire because of their appearance, family background and morals, but at the same time, it should not be too high. This admiration is exalted into awe.
For example, when Qin Lian and Su Qi were crown princes, they were respected and prestigious sons, but once they became kings, the hat of son was too stingy.
A year ago, Qin Lian became king, and only Su Qi was left in this world.And when Su Qi also became the king eight months ago, the only person in the world who can be judged and conjectured by people is the No. [-] Scholar who is selected every three years.
However, fortunately, too many things have happened in the past year. Although it is impossible to conjecture, the topics that people talk about after dinner are much more than usual.
Recently, if someone goes to a teahouse to listen to storytelling, five out of five times he can hear Mr. Pingshu vividly describing the war in the Southern Dynasties of Su State half a year ago.But the difference is that if you go to a teahouse in Su, you will find that Mr. Pingshu’s expression is full of joy. He is dancing, spitting, and elated; but if you go to a teahouse in the Southern Dynasties, You will find that Mr. Pingshu’s expression is extremely ferocious, like a god, and the storytelling is called a gnashing of teeth, that is called a furrowed eyebrow, and that is called a person who hates iron.
Some people joked that if you invite the Pingshu master from the Su State and the Southern Dynasty Pingshu master to sit together, the roof of the house can be overturned without the effort of a cup of tea.
People in the Southern Dynasties said that the villains in the Su Kingdom were insidious and cunning. They secretly crossed Chen Cang by building plank roads and married a princess from a country. People now understand what a gentleman does. Why didn’t they think about how these four words were written when they used all means to conquer small countries? Standing on the so-called moral high ground and condescending, it is a loss of both the art of war and the bearing.
The people were noisy, but the current young king of Su seems to have completely forgotten the battle half a year ago. It is said that he has followed in Qin Lian's footsteps. Since accepting a new Rong Ji four months ago, he is still paralyzed. Rong Ji, who was also weak, threw the Queen Qin Xiuxuan aside, and loved this Rong Ji very much, sleeping together every day, singing and singing every night.
It is said that when people from the Southern Dynasty saw Su people these days, their conversations have gradually changed to the following: What kind of shit is amazing to be gorgeous, what kind of shit is a gentleman like jade, all of them are coaxing the old emperor, Su Qi is obviously a pleasure seeker in his bones The lustful king, that Rong Ji must also be a disaster to the country and the people, maybe she was transformed by a fox, Daji was reincarnated, Baosi was reborn, just wait and see, within three years, your country of Su will perish.
Then the people of Su Guo would gnaw, bite, kick and kick while harboring the same kind of sadness in their hearts.
I am also very worried about Su Qi's actions, but my worry is: "Brother, I am a married woman, and you are a married man. In addition, we are still biological brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. The king of a country in the world, it’s not good for us to do this, right?”
Su Qi spread out his folding fan that he never left his hand, and said casually: "What kind of married man are you? A court wife is about the same. As for me, the king is the life of a lonely family. Who would dare to marry me?" Said I was her married husband?"
I said, "Then do you think it's appropriate for widows and widowers to live together?"
Su Qi propped his chin and glanced at me: "It's fine, you can come up with a title yourself, so that you can still live in the palace in this way."
I touched the human skin mask on my face and thought about it: "You can consider a righteous sister and make a princess of a different race..."
Su Qi sipped tea, and said slowly: "Then if I run to the righteous sister's palace every day, don't the people below still think that I am interested in you and want to accept you as a concubine?"
"..."
Facing a person who is so thick-skinned that he is invulnerable to guns and bullets, and whose mouth is so sharp that he can wear through iron, someone with my level can only be speechless.
At that time, Su Qi did not return from the court, so I woke up in the side hall of the living hall where the emperor of Su now lives, dressed and washed under the service of the maids, and then I was carried on the wheelchair, pushed to the dining table, and took the food. Chopsticks, start to eat breakfast.
As Su Qi's favorite concubine, she received countless special treatment.You can get up late in the morning, you don't have to wait until he comes back to eat, you can go out of the palace freely, and you don't have to wait for him to go back to sleep at night.
To be honest, before these decrees were issued one by one, I didn't know that Su Qi could be so considerate.
It's been like this for four months, and it looks like it's going to go on as long as I'm alive.It's not that there were no ministers in the former court who expressed their opposition to the life of Su Qi and I. There was even an old lady from the three dynasties, Fu Chang, who couldn't afford to kneel down and remonstrated with death. Su Qi sent them all back with three words: "I am happy to be alone." .”
In my opinion, Su Qi is more capricious than any king in Su history.One of the most absurd things he ever did was to pay off the vulgarity for a brothel girl, and that was all, and even brought it into the palace without permission, causing countless uproars.However, ever since I, as my own younger sister, was appointed as the favorite concubine and placed in the Dawn Palace, the king's bedroom, the previous incident can almost be ignored.
Although few people know my true identity, it is still conceivable that on the day when the truth is revealed, the court of Su will be more crowded than the market.
But it probably has nothing to do with me then.I took the soul drunk and came back to life after dying, but I probably won't be able to cheat like this again in a year.
At that time when I woke up, I was still in a state of ignorance and confusion, the maid had already hurriedly called Su Qi over.He sat beside my bed, flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and casually said five sentences, with ups and downs, which almost made me faint again.
The first sentence is: "Father died two months ago, now you have to call me Brother Huang."
The second sentence is: "You have been in a coma for four months. The effect of the soul intoxication medicine is too powerful, and the best time to save you has passed. Although you have come back to life, your legs can no longer walk."
The third sentence is: "After the feudal town was pacified, four months ago, Su and the Southern Dynasty fought a war, and the Southern Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat."
The fourth sentence is: "Although you are awake now, the imperial doctor said that there is still a limit of 20 years old, and you have more than a year to live."
The fifth sentence is: "Although it's only a little over a year, it's in exchange for ten years of my life. Su Xi, you have to live well this time."
I was stunned for a while when he said the first sentence, and I was stunned for a while when he said the second sentence. After the fifth sentence was finished, my eyes were straight all afternoon and I couldn't say a word.
The sum of the first four sentences is not as good as the last one, which makes my heart beat like a pounding, I can't believe it.
The royal family of the Su Kingdom has treasures, which can be used to predict future misfortunes and fortunes, and can also bring the dead back to life.
I have heard this since I was a child, but I have never witnessed it with my own eyes.In my opinion, this is just a means used by the kings of the Su Kingdom to appease the people. I once asked my father whether it was true or not. My father only told me that it would cost a hundred times to go against the sky. Even if it is true, This kind of thing can't be done.Therefore, I have always regarded this statement as false, and the so-called royal supernatural powers are nothing more than a phoenix dance and a human skin mask performed by the princesses. In fact, only the secrets known to the kings, princes, and rescued people for hundreds of years are the real treasures of the royal family of Su.
I thought Su Qi and Qin Lian had the same thoughts.Even though he would think it would be cruel to trade a sister who was dying for a long-awaited war, he would also feel it was worth it.Righteousness means no righteousness, and the truly outstanding rulers of the royal family have always understood and been good at using this truth.And exchanging his ten-year lifespan for his sister's more than a year of lingering life, this is tantamount to not worthwhile for a king.
It's even ridiculous.
It's not coldness, but this way of thinking has long been an instinct that a qualified prince and emperor should have.
But I never thought that Su Qi would give up ten years of life for my younger sister who would not live to be 20 years old.
I am so useless, how can I afford such a weight.
I was so shocked that I was stiff all afternoon, slumped on the bed like a carved stone man.It wasn't until Su Qi came to see me again during dinner that I finally came to my senses, my whole body was shaken, I looked at him for a while, and then threw myself into his arms and cried loudly.
Su Qi put his arms around my shoulders, patted my back, and said with a smile: "How about it, compared to that scumbag in the Southern Dynasty, I'm your considerate and gentle brother Yushu Linfeng, okay?"
He spoke jokingly, but I was still sobbing that I couldn't speak, just nodded.
To be honest, I have never felt that Su Qi's embrace is so kind and warm before.When he was a child, he was full of bad taste, and when he grew up, he was full of conspiracies and tricks, and he had a very provocative mouth, which could coax a group of officials and the people of the whole country into chaos. In my heart, Su Qi This elder brother exists just like Qin Lian. His coldness is not his intention, but it is definitely an instinct that has been trained. He has always been soberly calculating and calmly controlling. He should have dismissed such a complete loss-making effort without thinking. .
Su Qi continued: "Think about how ignorant you are. You disrupted all my arrangements, but you did it on purpose."
His clothes were already wet with my tears, and my lips were trembling. Su Qi went on to say, "Who made a promise to me back then that if the first two strategies fail, if you are executed by Qin Lian, you will be killed?" Did Ah Ji act as a substitute to die on your behalf?"
My crying became even louder, it was already crying without image, Su Qi was probably shocked by my rare outburst of power, the hand that patted my back stopped, originally planned to beat me again, look at my The look was too embarrassing, and finally I couldn't bear it, opened my mouth, and said for a while, "Don't cry. Don't you ask me how I smuggled you back from the Southern Dynasty?"
I choked for a long time before spit out a few words intermittently: "Don't dare to ask."
"Yo," Su Qi raised his eyebrows, "You've even played suicide, and now you still dare not ask?"
I whispered: "In the past, half of my life belonged to me, but now my whole life belongs to you, and I never dare to make you angry like before."
"You also know that you made me angry before." Su Qi snorted, and tapped the handle of the fan with a half-smile, "Then tell me, how will you repay me in the future?"
I wiped my eyes and said, "Of course you will be what you say."
Su Qi suddenly pinched the handle of the fan and lifted my chin, stared at me, and smiled softly: "In that case, sister, you can promise me with your body."
"..."
I thought Su Qi was just talking for fun, but I didn't expect that he really planned to do this.Su Qi looked as if he had already made up his mind. On the second day, he sent someone to pick an auspicious day. A few days later, I was brought into the harem as a new concubine. Not only did I live in the Dawn Palace where the emperor usually lives , he was also majestically exempted from the etiquette of kneeling to worship the queen, the reason he used was very simple, Rong Ji's legs were paralyzed, and she didn't kneel down to see the orphan, let alone the queen?
It's like ignoring Qin Xiuxuan, who is now weak and weak, to the extreme.
I was very leisurely in the Dawn Palace, so I inquired about many things.
For example, on the day news of my death came to the Su Kingdom, my father immediately sent 20 troops to suppress the border. With Su Qi as the main general, he beheaded the chiefs of the two border cities. His head was sent to the Southern Dynasty Palace and presented to Qin Lian.
It is said that Qin Lian was still in a good manner at that time, his complexion did not change, and he did not even blink his eyelids. He just gave an order to drag down the envoy from the State of Su who was in charge of delivering the head, and divided his body. Arguing against the public opinion, he said that he would go to the imperial conquest in person.
For another example, the marriage between Qin Lian and Zhao Youyi still failed after all.The reason Qin Lian gave to the ministers was not that national affairs come first and personal affairs last — but he used the most straightforward and unbelievable reason to make Zhao Youyi completely give up, and I was very embarrassed when I came back from the dead — —He said that the queen died suddenly, and she was very sad, and the marriage was called off.
When I heard these twelve short words, I was trying to scoop up a vegetarian ball with a spoon, but I stopped for a while, and finally there was a crisp "ding", and the spoon fell to the ground and broke into two halves .
Although I was a little bit hopeless at the beginning, but at the same time I had to admit that I was not without resentment in my heart at that time, if Qin Lian was indifferent even after I died, I would still insist on going hand in hand with red and white affairs. If Zhao Youyi is married to the side where I was buried, no matter how magnanimous I am, I can't help being angry. Even if I go to hell and become a ghost, I will climb up to harass them.
However, looking back on it now after being resurrected from the dead, I feel that Qin Lian's actions were a little messy.Now that I am dead, it is useless to do these things. No matter how much he grieves, I will not come back from the dead. Besides, as long as he still has the strength to think, he should be able to think that my sudden death will definitely make the Su Guo who is eyeing him have a The excuse for sending troops is that the Zhao family is capable of both civil and military skills and is very rich. If he wants to deal with Su Guo, he still has to consider the best way to win over the Zhao family.
For the sake of a Su princess who caused the war and was called a disaster, she rejected a very favorable marriage, which was like wasting half of Qin Lian's previous efforts.He had not been so dizzy since the Regent, and this was the first time.
However, no matter how you say it, Qin Lian's not marrying Zhao Youyi still comforts me a little bit after I am alive.
Then, I learned that I was transported back to Su from the Southern Dynasties in such a slovenly manner.At that time, Su Qi gave me a delicate brocade bag with jade petals when he visited Nanchao. In the interlayer, there was a human skin mask almost exactly like mine.I gave the brocade bag to Ah Ji, originally thinking that since I was determined to die, this kind of thing would be useless, so I might as well give it to Ah Ji in case she needs it, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy .
Su Qi said, according to what was originally agreed, Ah Ji was supposed to be a substitute, but I deliberately married Ah Ji out of the palace, making it clear that I was causing trouble for him.Thanks to his adaptability, he had searched for a woman with the same figure as me outside the palace early on, and then he described in detail how he made Ah Ji troublesome and frightened to replace me after my death, and how he worked hard to replace me. Fortunately, it was winter and I kept it very carefully, so that my body was fresh, intact and not rotten when it arrived in Su.
I was completely confused when I heard it, and I always felt that it was a creepy feeling that such weird things happened to me.But after listening to this story, after Su Qi said those five sentences, my endurance has been greatly improved by him, so although I felt horrified, I was not confused for a long time, and soon I asked Su Qi again. How did it bring me back to life?
However, Su Qi has been refusing to answer this matter.He told me very rudely that this was top secret and that even I was not qualified to ask.I just need to know that I am really alive now, that I am not really dead, and that is enough.
Since he didn't let me ask, I had no choice but to stop asking.
As for the war between southern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu that the common people have talked about the most these past few months, when the war was in full swing, no one in the gambling house bet on it.This is understandable, let's not talk about which gambling house dared to die. During the war, this kind of traitorous bet was placed. If a person loses, he will be ridiculed by others, and if he wins, he will be angered and beaten, and he may even die when he walks out of the gambling house.
Su Qi used his omnipotent methods to the extreme on the battlefield.At the beginning of the confrontation, the two armies had a mutual victory and defeat.Later, after Su Qi heard about Qin Lian's reason for canceling the marriage and the report from the spies who returned from the Southern Dynasty, he quickly asked Su Zi to make a lot of human skin masks that were exactly the same as mine, and then found them overnight. A large number of military prostitutes who are similar in size to me and prostitutes in nearby villages and towns put masks on them, and then pulled them to the front of the army before the battle, without saying a word, just silently wearing these with the same face as me A woman with a similar figure in clothes showed to Qin Lian, who was personally conscripted by Yu Jia.
Unexpectedly, the effect was unusually good.According to Mr. Su Guo Pingshu, at that time, Qin Lian led an awe-inspiring army. He was one point introverted, two points calm, three points calm and four points strategizing, but these introverted, calm and calm strategies all disappeared after seeing those women, not only All of a sudden, his blood color disappeared, and it was difficult to even maintain his figure. If he hadn't grabbed the reins in time, he would almost have fallen off the horse.He also turned a blind eye to Su Qi's provocation, and just stared straight at those women, with his lips tightly pursed and his eyes like nails like arrows, as if he wanted to see a hole in them.
So it is conceivable that if the commander-in-chief's army is in disarray, the Southern Dynasty will be defeated.In that battle, Qin Lian lost [-] soldiers and a general.
When the two armies meet next time, Su Qi is even more perverted, leading the women to the front of the battle as usual, and then yelling nonsense to Qin Lian from the air without blushing and panting under the eyes of everyone: "Qin Lian, listen Said that after my sister committed suicide because of you a few days ago, you hugged her tightly and refused to let go. You kept muttering that she was not dead, and like a madman, you stabbed the palace maid who went to bury the corpse into mutton skewers. Then guess what? Guess, among these beauties, is it possible that one of them is Su Xi?"
This time Qin Lian was much calmer. Although his eyes were still fixed on those women, he was still very calm, and quickly replied to Su Qi's words: "Su Xi is already dead."
Su Qi smiled and said: "Then why does His Majesty the Southern Dynasty still stare hard at these people?"
"These are beauties after all, isn't your Highness leading these beauties to the front of the battle just for people to see?"
Su Qi said with a smile: "No, I have other uses."
Then Su Qi did something that was in line with his unpredictable style of handling things but at the same time it was unbearable for ordinary people.Among those beauties, he picked the one whose figure and appearance was the most similar to mine, called her to him, and then, in front of everyone, he asked a general to stab the beauty's chest with a knife and halberd.
It is said that the beauty was splattered with blood three feet and died in a terrible state. It is said that this time Qin Lian's face was even uglier than the last time. It is said that Su Qi, who is used to fueling the flames and sowing discord, added one sentence too much: " Maybe this is Su Xi, Your Majesty the Southern Dynasty, do you believe it or not?"
After hearing these words, Qin Lian's complexion was no longer pale enough to be described as pale.He just froze for a while on the ever-changing battlefield. When the horn blew, he didn't even see the several crossbowmen Su Guo was aiming at him.
In this battle, the Southern Dynasty lost [-] soldiers, and six generals were killed or injured. Qin Lian had an arrow in his chest, was dying, and fell into a coma for ten days.
After this battle, the Southern Dynasty was defeated, and the army retreated thirty miles in embarrassment.On the second day after Qin Lian woke up, he signed a peace agreement with Su Qi regardless of the objections of the ministers, cut off three cities, and killed Zhao Youchen and Zhao Youyi according to the agreement. Return to the capital of the Southern Dynasties to recuperate.
Since the founding of the country, the Southern Dynasties have never encountered such a shame and humiliation.Although most of the monarchs of the Southern Dynasties were infatuated and lustful, all the monarchs never lost their ambitions and misled the country because of their lust.When the news of the defeat spread to the territory of the Southern Dynasty, the people of the Southern Dynasty were distraught and indignant. Not a few committed suicide, and many cried bitterly.
As for Qin Lian, since he was born, he experienced defeat for the first time, and probably only he knows how it turned around.Su Qi told me that after returning to the palace, Qin Lian slept in the Yong'an Palace every night, was lazy in government affairs, and was depressed, and then he became ill for more than two months.
After he said this, he observed my face very carefully, and I asked, "What do you think I am doing?"
Su Qi held the wrench in his hand, and said leisurely: "Of course it depends on whether you feel distressed."
"Why should I feel distressed?"
Su Qina looked at me with strange eyes: "You don't even know, how could I know."
"..."
After listening to it, I really didn't feel much in my heart.
People who have already died once, it would be childish to dwell on such meaningless issues.
What I couldn't see at the time, I can't figure it out now.
There have always been beauty-dividing schemes.However, in the scripts and historical facts I have read, the stories of fine works and kings have never ended well.One death is considered light, but two deaths are even more tragic.From this, it can be deduced that the marriage between me and Qin Lian, whose motives were not pure from the beginning, is really a tragedy predestined by the heavens.
But at that time, he didn't believe in evil, he didn't accept his fate, and he insisted on going to the Southern Dynasty against the advice. Looking back now, those actions were undoubtedly very reckless and stupid. It was wrong to set off for the Southern Dynasty from the very beginning.
Su Qi told me that since I don't feel sorry for him, don't blame him for being cruel to Qin Lian in the future.I said to him, brother, you have plotted against the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and I don't know. I used to be too self-willed and ignorant, so you should take more care of me. Now my life is yours. Naturally, I will fully support you in whatever you do.
Then Su Qi had an unbearable expression, and said, "Can't you just stop talking about the ten-year lifespan? My creditor didn't even mention you, a debtor, every day."
I whispered, "I feel ashamed of your generosity. How about I go make you a plaque and hang it on the wall over there."
Su Qi knocked on my forehead with a folding fan: "You've lost your mind."
I sneaked a look at his face, seeing that he was not in a bad mood, so I said hesitantly, "Brother..."
"What are you doing?" He was picking up the teacup to drink tea, the rim of the cup was already resting on his lips, and then he stopped, turned to look at me, his face that was still calm just now turned into a smirk, He said word by word: "If you dare to ask me how I plan to deal with Qin Lian, be careful that I will break your leg."
I sighed and said, "My legs are already lame."
Su Qi choked for a moment before saying, "Anyway, I won't tell you."
"..."
Although I don't know what Su Qi is going to do, but after thinking about it, although the Southern Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat, it is still a large, prosperous and prosperous country after all, and Qin Lian is still a scheming, calm and self-sufficient king. What kind of indiscriminate tricks, Qin Lian is in the capital of the Southern Dynasty, on his own territory, he will probably have a way to crack it.He is so smart, much better than my brain, I don't need to worry about it here.
What's more, I don't worry about my own lifespan. Instead, I worry about the unknown problems of Qin Lian who is thousands of miles away.
As for hearing that Qin Lian's current harem has no concubine or concubine, I thought selfishly in my heart, anyway, he will marry a wife in the future, maybe news of his wedding will come tomorrow, as for today , just take it as his compensation for me.
Although I told myself over and over in my heart that I shouldn't hate anyone, I would never despise compensation too much, and in the eyes of Su Qi and Su Zi, Qin Lian owed me a lot, they told me over and over again, I listened a lot and felt that Qin Lian owed me something if I put aside my family, country and world. He didn't do anything when I was alive in the Southern Dynasty. Then after I died in the Southern Dynasty, if he did something like that, I would do nothing. Receive it with peace of mind.
In this way, today after day, after four months in a row, I still haven't received the news that he is going to hold a wedding.I also thought, probably now that the Southern Dynasty has just suffered a disastrous defeat, the whole country has to recuperate and live frugally, and Qin Lian must start from himself. Marriage, referring to my big wedding at that time, is too extravagant and wasteful. It does not match the current situation in the Southern Dynasties, so it will be postponed.
I thought about it like this, and the more I thought about it, the more inexplicably uncomfortable I became, so I had to interrupt my thoughts and turn my head to think about other things.
Ever since Su Qi mentioned the strangeness of the royal family of the Su Kingdom, I suddenly remembered that one day when I was sitting in a wheelchair, since the founding of the Kingdom of Su, none of the kings who sat on the throne seemed to have lived a long life.The lifespan of every monarch will not exceed 60 years old, and some even die suddenly when they are older.The longest-lived founding monarch, Su Ye, only lived to be 59 years old.
I asked Su Qi, and he answered me like this: "Whether it's watching the sky or going against the sky, there is a price to pay."
He also told me that the kings of the Su Kingdom generally do not pry into the will of heaven on their own, and often use the help of a celestial master, and they will not easily compromise their own lifespan to prolong the life of others. And died of a strange sudden illness.
This is the case with the father, and so is the father's father.
So I was very worried about Su Qi who prolonged my life.
I told Su Zi, who came to see me in the palace, about my worries. She played with the Nine Rings that Su Qi brought me back from outside the palace with great interest, and waited until they were all untied before slowly talking to me. Said: "He will worry about Su Qi's affairs. It's useless for you to worry."
When she said this, it happened that Su Qi was stepping into the Dawn Palace, and before a face appeared from behind the screen, a voice with a bit of a smile came in: "Su Zi, it's none of your business to have you like this The one who hangs up? Thanks to your daughter's body, if you are a prince, you will have to sit on the throne."
Su Zi said solemnly: "How could it be? If I were a prince, brother, how could you be so magnanimous as to let me live till now?"
Su Qi coughed, as if he was suddenly very interested in the Jiulianhuan in her hand, pointed and said: "This thing was untied so quickly? It must not be Su Xi's handwriting."
Su Zi squinted at him and asked, "Why don't you let Nan Chao send a proton?"
Su Qi said lazily: "What's the use of sending protons? Qin Lian's relatives don't recognize him, and protons are a burden to us."
Su Zi said: "At the very least, after the protons are delivered, Qin Lian has no reason to send troops for the sake of the agreement. The right time, place and people are as good as he lacks, so he dare not disturb the situation easily. It's just one more person to eat, you It's not that I can't afford it."
Su Qidao: "People and this thing, different people have different opinions. Those people in the Southern Dynasties are obviously not yet fully enlightened, and this little agreement can't hold them back at all. Qin Lian can use the assassins I sent to assassinate him back then. How can a mere proton We can stop him. What's more, if he sends one, we have to send another one, who do you think should be sent?"
When he said this, it meant that he had made up his mind.Su Zi glanced at him, and had nothing to say, she just picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.
Summer gradually entered the country of Su.The roses bloom one after the other, red and pink, white and white, more flavorful, really beautiful.I have been in a wheelchair for five months, and when summer comes, the feeling of sitting every day is even more difficult, but I am still alive, and that is enough.
According to the doctor's advice, I lived a life of drinking a lot of medicine every day.In addition to traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, there are food supplements and massage, and it will take half a day to sit down on these things.But this time, the people from the hospital did not show me a bitter face, and even occasionally encouraged me when they saw me with a bitter face, but the words of encouragement really made me even more depressed: "Weichen once participated in Princess Xi's cough Diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Princess Xi's condition is similar to yours, but Princess Xi's endurance is far inferior to yours."
I looked at him blankly: "..."
Occasionally, Su Qi would like to use my legs as persimmons when he came back earlier with less work.One day, before the sunset had fully set, he came back, and after dismissing everyone, carried me to the bed according to the massage practice. When I bent down, I lowered my eyes slightly, and saw a few silver strands in his hair.
Those few gray and white hairs mixed in the black hair looked very eye-catching.I was slightly taken aback, and let go of the hand that was holding his neck, and showed him the white hair, "Su Qi, you already have white hair."
Su Qi looked at it along the way, froze for a moment, then smiled quickly: "A year ago, I was very bored and checked, and there wasn't a single one at that time."
I'm a little speechless.
I remember that before I went to the Southern Dynasty last year, my father's appearance was extremely young compared to his peers, and my father's hair was still completely black at that time.
And Su Qi is only 23 years old this year.
I was dumb for a long time, stumbled and asked him: "Is it because of those ten years of life?"
"If I say yes, you still have to drink soul drunk again?"
I opened my mouth and said, "Life is too precious this time, I don't dare to waste it like this."
Su Qi tapped my folding fan lightly on my unconscious legs, and said, "It's good that you know."
I thought about it, and still felt a little uncomfortable.Think about it, since I was a child, I didn't help Su Qi except for copying a few books. Instead, I always held him back. Now that he has put so much effort into me, it really makes me feel like I'm on fire. Tossing and turning.
Su Qi has always been very calm. After I tactfully expressed my guilt, he asked me: "You might as well think about it the other way around. If you were to give up ten years of life for me to live for one and a half years, would you be willing?"
I said without hesitation, "Of course."
Su Qidao: "That's it."
Although I said so, I was still very entangled and had nothing to do, so I had to take out the old zither and fiddle with it.Thinking about it, I still feel a little helpless. When I was a child, I was locked up in the house all day because of a cough and couldn’t go out. At that time, I was looking forward to growing up. When I grow up, the cough will no longer occur, and I can go wherever I want freely. , Picking a plum blossom by yourself will no longer be a wish.And now my cough really doesn't attack anymore, but my legs have no strength. Although Su Qi allows me to go in and out of the palace, but the most basic thing is to think of people standing and me sitting all the time. After having to be served by palace servants when walking, he lost even the slightest interest in going out.
I tried to tune the guzheng a few times, and found that the timbre was very problematic.At first I thought it was because the strings of the guzheng had not been used for a long time, and then I gradually felt something was wrong. It happened that the palace man brought hot tea. superior.
The palace servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees and rushed to tidy them up, but I had no time to pay attention to them, so I raised my hand and moved it vigorously, and found that my fingers were still somewhat numb, but a little softer than usual, at least I felt relieved , but when he tried to clench his hand into a fist again, he found that he had no strength left.
It's never a good thing.I looked at my hands and sighed silently.
Soon the imperial physician was summoned, and Su Qi and Su Zi also rushed over.The Chief Physician Tang of the imperial hospital was sweating profusely under the gaze of his six eyes. After taking the pulse for a long time, he dared to stumble and say: "Rong Ji, Rong Ji..."
Su Qi said in a deep voice: "If you repeat it again, Rong Ji will cut off your tongue."
Doctor Tang trembled all over, and said: "This pulse condition is very rare, and I dare not speak nonsense. If the teacher of my minister is still alive, it may be relieved. Now I speculate that Rong Ji may have internal organs in the next few months. Gradually fail and even degenerate, then it will not only be a problem of paralyzed legs..."
He murmured, and I interjected, "You mean, in the future I might not be able to eat, drink or sleep, maybe I won't be able to hear or see, right?"
The poor Tang imperial physician had to put his hands on the ground in his old age, buried his head deeply, and said tremblingly: "This, I dare not make a judgment, this is just a possibility..."
After a while, Su Zi asked in a low voice, "Is there a solution?"
Doctor Tang wiped his sweat and said, "I dare not make rash judgments..."
Su Qi said coldly: "You might as well judge when you died."
Physician Tang trembled with fright.
No one spoke in this spacious hall for a while, it was strangely quiet.
To be honest, this time I definitely felt a little sad.
The feeling of unwillingness is gone. I have been tossed through ups and downs several times in the past two years, and now I will not be surprised or angry if I tell me anything.It's just that I'm still a little sad, I don't know if it's for myself, for Su Qi, or something else.
Living like this is a bit of a lingering meaning.It's like grinding a knife bit by bit on a whetstone, until all the strength is exhausted before you can die.
Such an unsatisfactory way of living, if the imperial doctor told me that I would be like this after I accidentally took poison a few years ago, I would probably be terrified, and I would wipe my neck and cut it off in two before I got married with Qin Lian, but now I can't do that .
I didn't talk much until night.Su Zi comforted me a few words, seeing that I was still in a daze and couldn't listen, she sighed and left the palace, only Su Qi and I were left in the Dawn Palace.
I stared at Su Qi with a dull gaze, probably comparable to that of a dying fish.And Su Qi was sitting opposite me, his eyes were clear and he only focused on dealing with the exquisite ivory folding fan in his hand, his face was quite calm, as if he hadn't noticed my situation at all.
After a long while, I finally couldn't help but speak, with a hoarse voice, as if a boulder had been run over: "Brother."
Su Qi gave a "hmm", looked up at me with a slight smile, looked at me seriously and affectionately, and then said softly, "Sister."
My throat hurts even more, and the choked sobs pervade from bottom to top, driving my heart to ache: "Brother."
Su Qi was still very gentle: "Sister."
"elder brother……"
"younger sister……"
"elder brother!"
"younger sister!"
"..."
After repeating this quite strangely several times, I was finally forced to turn my depression into speechlessness.
I wiped away the cold tears all over my face, and said angrily: "The atmosphere has been disturbed by you!"
Su Qihui gave me a rather disdainful look, as if saying "You are not only stupid but also hopelessly hypocritical", while raising his voice: "Come here, bring water, Rong Ji needs to wash her face. "
I drank the medicine according to the new prescription that the imperial physician tried to make, and it proved to be effective.Although the hand still feels weak sometimes, it has not deteriorated after all.Conditions such as deafness and blindness have not happened yet, but the people in the Tai Hospital still hinted at me harshly. If it doesn’t get worse now, it doesn’t mean it won’t get worse in the future, and if it doesn’t get worse in the future, it doesn’t mean I can continue to live. It's best not to have too optimistic hopes, because it can only get worse in the future and not get better. In any case, I will continue to live in dire straits.
Intimidated by Su Qi Tianwei, they said these words behind Su Qi's back.But then it spread to Su Qi's ears for some reason, so the imperial physicians headed by Tang imperial physicians went back to the life I had when I suffered from frequent coughs in my childhood: Su Qi tossed and beat the group of people in different ways, so that These imperial physicians who had been relying on the old to sell the old and lived quite comfortably were once again living a miserable and miserable life.
Now it is just right to describe me as having no power to restrain a chicken.Ever since I accidentally dropped the soup bowl twice in a row, I was treated like a baby, and every meal was either fed by Su Zi or Su Qi did it for me.This kind of thing is different from leg paralysis. I feel that I have been hit hard and my personal dignity has been frustrated. I have resolutely refused many times, but in the end I am no match for Su Zi and Su Qi's eloquent tongue. Whenever I lose my temper, they How to feed or how to feed, how to feed tea or how to feed tea.
I'm a little frustrated with this situation, but at the same time I can't really say that I can't live through it.Everyone is working hard for me. This kind of privilege of pouring all the power of a country for one person is simply not enjoyed by ordinary people.
Day by day went on like this, and one day news came that Qin Lian was making great use of witchcraft in the palace of the Southern Dynasty.
It is said that one day, Qin Lian suddenly committed smoking for some reason, and then continued to smoke for many days. He gathered a group of Taoist priests to enter the palace, and danced the whisk and wore Taoist robes every day. , I heard that the purpose seems to be to let them find the soul of the former queen Su Xi.
This news spread with nose and eyes, but it is quite absurd when you think about it.It's hard to imagine that even if Qin Lian really found my soul, what can he do?At this time, it has been half a year since the day I took the poison, and most of the bones of the body double in the coffin have already rotted, and Su Qi has hidden me so tightly that I don't know where Qin Lian got the magical inspiration to do such an unreliable act. Spectrum things for people all over the world to watch.
That night when I was talking to Su Qi, he put the spoon close to my mouth, held a handkerchief under my chin with the other hand, and casually said: "Qin Lian's mind is abnormal, don't pay attention to him."
I drank the soup and asked, "Could it be that you have revealed something?"
The corner of Su Qi's mouth twitched: "Why do you say that?"
I said: "There was no reason at first, but now that you ask this question, there must be some reason."
"..." Su Qi's expression seemed a little annoyed, but it quickly turned off again, "Well, I admit, maybe it was because I was too casual when I killed your double on the battlefield, so Qin Lian got up after I went back. But so what, even if he knew you were still alive, he would not be able to find you anyway. Besides, even if he did find you one day, it might not be..." He stopped in the middle of the sentence, and smiled instead: "Stop talking, drink soup."
"Furthermore, even if you find it, you may not be able to meet me for the last time, right?"
Su Qi glanced at me, with a half-smile on his face: "Why are you so concerned about Qin Lian? Are you anxious to see him?"
I adjusted the expression on my face without showing any trace, and then looked at him with very innocent eyes, "I didn't."
"You have."
"I do not have."
"You have."
I tilted my head and akimbo, imitating Su Qi's appearance: "Okay, I have what I have, what can you do to me?"
"..."
Halfway through the summer in Su, I learned from Su Zi that Qin Lian suddenly insisted on giving the fortress to Su.
In fact, there are not many news about Qin Lian since I woke up, but each one is more important.For example, after three months of recuperation, Qin Lian finally regained his wise and martial appearance of Wen Neng seven steps into poetry and martial arts.For example, on the first day Qin Lian returned to the court, officials from the Southern Dynasty submitted the memorial for the draft, but Qin Lian quickly dismissed it with a simple sentence of "we will discuss this matter later".Another example is that Qin Lian still looks calm and steady even when he loses people, soldiers and cities, and his diplomacy with Su is neither salty nor weak, and he has an imposing manner from the beginning to the end.
Until he suddenly didn't say hello, brought up the proton topic that had been put aside before, and sent an envoy to visit, with sincere words, attached a document, and said he would send it in person.
That document happened to be seen by me as well. The text is as calm and steady as his own, and it was written by Qin Lian himself.
I read that document over and over again, and I can recognize every word and every sentence, but when combined into an essay, I don't know what Qin Lian is thinking.But Su Qi didn't care about these, he only knew that he didn't need a proton, let alone Qin Lian's presence, so he rejected Qin Lian's behavior very simply, and only one word back to the envoy of the Southern Dynasty: "No."
However, this time, Qin Lian changed from his previous noble and reserved diplomatic attitude, and became a bit stalking.Soon he sent an envoy back, saying that as a show of sincerity, he was willing to take a royal family brother as a pledge, and donate a city to Su State, so as to achieve peaceful coexistence on the border in the next few decades.
Su Qi was not interested in protons, but was very interested in that very rich city.He originally wanted to sneer at Qin Lian's words, but the city Qin Lian promised was too tempting, and the white meat he got would not fly away in vain no matter what, even if he knew there must be something hidden in it, Su Qi would still After gathering important officials for two nights of discussion, they finally agreed to Qin Lian's proposal.It's just that Su Qi is also a rascal, Nan Chao wanted to send the proton and the city, but he only gave some jade objects to express his gratitude, and he didn't intend to reciprocate to make the proton a pair.
A few days later, the proton of the Southern Dynasty came to the capital of Su with documents and entourage.
It is said that this proton is also surnamed Qin, with the single character Ke.I only heard about Qin Ke when I was in the Southern Dynasties. I knew that there was such a person who was Qin Lian's cousin, and his gender was male. As for the others, I didn't know anything about it.
Fortunately, there is also Su Qi's shadow building dedicated to inquiring about various news.Soon I had a preliminary impression of Qin Ke. Xiao Qin Lian was two years old, unmarried, and the only son of An Guogong Qin Fei.Familiar with poetry and books but not martial arts, quiet and polite, good-looking, good knowledge, good moral character, in short, everything is good, in fact, as a member of the royal family, it is not easy to be able to do all these things well, at least even Su Qi They didn't do all of these, Su Qi's morals were extremely poor, and his knowledge was only good at the part of governing the country.
If Qin Ke hadn't been sent to the Su country as a hostage, he should also be regarded as the dreamy person in the hearts of many boudoir ladies in the Southern Dynasty.It's just that he was born at an untimely time, and Qin Ke was overwhelmed by Qin Lian, who was able to excel in everything. No. 1 and No. 2 always received a lot of attention, so Qin Ke was not very popular. What the world has heard, it is not surprising to think about it.
Originally, at the beginning, Qin Lian said that he would personally send this cousin over and meet Su Qi by the way. The general meaning of the document seemed to be that it had been a long time. He missed Brother Su very much, so why not drink tea together. Let's talk about the past, and then discuss the experience of governing the country.But when Su Qi didn't want to be reasonable, he was really annoying. First, he deliberately withheld the document and pretended not to receive it. After a few days, Qin Lian had already set off, and when he was two hundred miles away from Beijing, he seemed to suddenly remember it. Then he picked out the document again from the tabletop.
After Su Qi punished the court lady who didn't know a lot of characters, he slowly returned Qin Lian a document with very rude words, which roughly meant that he was a loser like Qin Lian who had no character, no morals and was defeated by his subordinates. There is no good tea to drink, no old stories to talk about, and no experience to tell stories about, so asking him to go back and forth from wherever he is is not welcome.
But it seems that after dealing with shameless people like Su Qi who have no bottom line and no morals, Qin Lian has become a lot better this time.He also pretended not to have received Su Qi's reply, until he was almost at the border of Su country, and then replied to Su Qi belatedly, saying that he was a guest from afar, let alone a full-loaded guest. Well, Su Qi, as the king of a country, should be magnanimous, so it's better to hurry up to greet him.
Then Su Qi enthusiastically opened the border gate of the State of Su, claiming that he would be waiting to meet him at a place [-] kilometers away from the capital of the State of Su, to show the kindness and hospitality of the host. The two high-frequency assassinations of Qin Lian on the territory of Su State, and the killing of the recruits, made Qin Lian in a mess since entering the State of Su. They knelt down and begged Qin Lian to return home.
After going back and forth like this, Qin Lian still failed to reach the capital of Su State after all, and led everyone back home on the penultimate day.
After I heard the whole story later, I simply felt that the development of the plot was speechless and outrageous.This is not the demeanor that two monarchs should have, it is just like two teenage youths fighting each other.
On the day Qin Ke met Su Qi, I was lazily flipping through the script in the Dawn Palace.It is said that Su Qi originally planned to place Qin Ke in a mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, but unfortunately, the second day after Qin Ke moved in, the water drained out of nowhere, and everything that could be incinerated was incinerated.Su Qi sneered that Qin Ke was really a broom star sent by the Southern Dynasty, and at the same time wanted to find another house for him.However, looking at the whole capital city, a house that is too common is not suitable for Qin Ke, and Su Qi is unwilling to let him live in a house that is too luxurious. After looking around for a day, he couldn't find a house that would please Su Qi, so he had to move it temporarily. He was placed in the imperial palace, a place that looked dilapidated on the outside, but even dilapidated on the inside.
Even so, Qin Ke is still quite at ease.Your son seems to be quite generous, and Su Qi was a little surprised when he heard about it.But the surprise is the surprise, Su Qi, who hated the Southern Dynasty people both publically and privately, still continued to hate.When dinner was approaching, I was arguing with Su Qi whether to drink porridge or eat meat. Su Qi insisted that I eat porridge, and I insisted on eating meat. When the two of them couldn't settle down, the palace servants came to report that Qin Ke was outside asking for an audience. , wanting to express in person his gratitude to Su Qi for finding a house for him for a day.Su Qi scoffed at his rhetoric, but couldn't find a reason to let him go back, so he could only ask him to come in.
It was the setting sun, and although the days in summer were always long, the palace of the imperial palace always wanted to highlight its magnificence, let alone the main hall where the king of a country lived on weekdays.Therefore, the ordinary and extremely cheap sunlight cannot shine into the room. It has to be covered with heavy curtains, and then screened through layers of bead curtains until only [-]% of the sunlight is left, and there are dark shadows in the room. Light the tall candles carved in various places, and cover them with exquisite gauze, one in three steps, and in pairs in five steps, until the hall is full of lights.
It is said that it is against the rules to meet Nan Chao's proton here, but Su Qi has done too many things that are against the rules, and he doesn't care about one more thing.I hid behind the screen, and watched Qin Ke lead his followers in step by step in this hazy yellow light. First, he was led by the palace guard in charge of the palace gate, and then he was quickly led by the palace maid at the middle gate, and finally he was on the first floor. The bead curtain, his face was not completely revealed until the palace guards opened it.
Qin Ke bowed his head to thank Su Qi, I observed him secretly, and felt that compared with the entourage behind him, this person's appearance was indeed pretty good.But if they stand with Qin Lian and Su Qi and others, then it can only be regarded as acceptable.
However, when Qin Ke faced the extremely shameless Su Qi, he couldn't even use the word Shang Ke in his reaction.
After listening to Qin Ke's rather official and emotionless thanks, Su Qi didn't get angry, and just asked: "I heard that Qin Lian was practicing witchcraft in the palace a few days ago, and gathered a group of Taoist priests to enter the palace, wearing Taoist robes every day. Is it true that the practice of chanting words will stir up the whole Roufu Palace into a miasma and make it uneasy?"
Qin Ke said: "I don't know whose nonsense it is. Your Majesty has always been diligent in governing and loving the people, and recently he has ruled with mercy. He never paid attention to such low-level things."
Su Qi said with a smile: "How can this kind of thing be nonsense. Your majesty recruited Taoist priests into the palace. A hidden guard pretended to be a Taoist priest and mixed in. A few days ago, they just sent news that your Majesty was depressed, sick with longing, and had a persistent high fever. Or is it fake?"
"..."
Qin Ke probably didn't expect Su Qi to dare to speak out about his tricks so openly, and he choked on his throat for a while, not knowing what to say.And Su Qi always likes to bully dull people and provoke smart people, so he continued on his own: "After talking about Qin Lian, let's talk about you again. Since you are a proton, do you think that in five years' time, if the Southern Dynasty When we meet Su State again, will the Southern Dynasty win or the Su State will win?"
Maybe it's because the heat of the day hasn't dissipated, or maybe it's because there are too many candles in the room and it's stuffy. Although I'm not too close, I can vaguely see Qin Ke's mouth opening and closing, and the sweat on his face. trickle down.
Su Qi's folding fan also opened and closed, and when he was satisfied, he said leisurely: "I really wonder why Qin Lian has no vision to see such a situation, and actually picks you to be the proton. Do you understand what a proton is? A proton means that even if Gu kills you directly, Qin Lian can’t do anything to Su Guo. If you want to live, you must be aware of current affairs and bend down when you should. You His Majesty the Southern Dynasty is not here, and it won't kill you if you say something nice, what kind of lofty posture you put on, it's extremely pedantic. Don't put on your so-called backbone here, it's useless."
Qin Ke's legs were weak, and he was about to kneel down. Fortunately, he was supported by the entourage behind him before he managed to stop. He collected himself, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right."
"Go on. In the future, don't let Gu see you again, and it's best not to let Gu think of you."
A few days later, the imperial physician came to check the pulse as usual, but as usual, he was at a loss for what to do about the condition, and he just gave me some tedious precautions again, and then advised me to go out of the palace to have a look and relax since I have nothing to do.
Although I always thought that I didn't have any troubles, every time the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, he asserted that my inner depression could not be resolved, insisted that I must alleviate the sorrow in my heart, and implied that although I was waiting to die, I was in a happy mood After all, waiting to die is always better than waiting to die in a depressed mood, so it's better to walk around.I was speechless at this tone of standing and talking without back pain.Thinking about it, when anyone knows that the imminent death is not far away, they will not be in a happy mood.Besides, it is not up to me to decide whether I am happy or not. I also want to be happy all the time, but I have no choice.
It's just that although I insist that I have no worries, I can't make Su Qi and Su Zi believe it.Both of these people said with certainty that I must be bored in my heart, but I am just temporarily dead.I was helpless, so I felt a sense of sadness and sigh that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
(End of this chapter)
Generally speaking, the word "gongzi" has many harsh additional conditions, especially in a dynasty with a large number of talents, the competition for these two words is particularly fierce.First of all, this person must be good-looking, graceful and handsome, secondly, he must have wisdom, he must be good-looking, he must have power and change, and then he must be virtuous, he must be gentle and elegant, and he must be as gentle as jade. , In the end, you need to have a family background, you want Zhu Lunhuahu, and you want a jade pot to shine.
However, these should not be too much, it must be just right, it must make people feel that the word "Gongzi" is a title of respect that people unconsciously admire because of their appearance, family background and morals, but at the same time, it should not be too high. This admiration is exalted into awe.
For example, when Qin Lian and Su Qi were crown princes, they were respected and prestigious sons, but once they became kings, the hat of son was too stingy.
A year ago, Qin Lian became king, and only Su Qi was left in this world.And when Su Qi also became the king eight months ago, the only person in the world who can be judged and conjectured by people is the No. [-] Scholar who is selected every three years.
However, fortunately, too many things have happened in the past year. Although it is impossible to conjecture, the topics that people talk about after dinner are much more than usual.
Recently, if someone goes to a teahouse to listen to storytelling, five out of five times he can hear Mr. Pingshu vividly describing the war in the Southern Dynasties of Su State half a year ago.But the difference is that if you go to a teahouse in Su, you will find that Mr. Pingshu’s expression is full of joy. He is dancing, spitting, and elated; but if you go to a teahouse in the Southern Dynasties, You will find that Mr. Pingshu’s expression is extremely ferocious, like a god, and the storytelling is called a gnashing of teeth, that is called a furrowed eyebrow, and that is called a person who hates iron.
Some people joked that if you invite the Pingshu master from the Su State and the Southern Dynasty Pingshu master to sit together, the roof of the house can be overturned without the effort of a cup of tea.
People in the Southern Dynasties said that the villains in the Su Kingdom were insidious and cunning. They secretly crossed Chen Cang by building plank roads and married a princess from a country. People now understand what a gentleman does. Why didn’t they think about how these four words were written when they used all means to conquer small countries? Standing on the so-called moral high ground and condescending, it is a loss of both the art of war and the bearing.
The people were noisy, but the current young king of Su seems to have completely forgotten the battle half a year ago. It is said that he has followed in Qin Lian's footsteps. Since accepting a new Rong Ji four months ago, he is still paralyzed. Rong Ji, who was also weak, threw the Queen Qin Xiuxuan aside, and loved this Rong Ji very much, sleeping together every day, singing and singing every night.
It is said that when people from the Southern Dynasty saw Su people these days, their conversations have gradually changed to the following: What kind of shit is amazing to be gorgeous, what kind of shit is a gentleman like jade, all of them are coaxing the old emperor, Su Qi is obviously a pleasure seeker in his bones The lustful king, that Rong Ji must also be a disaster to the country and the people, maybe she was transformed by a fox, Daji was reincarnated, Baosi was reborn, just wait and see, within three years, your country of Su will perish.
Then the people of Su Guo would gnaw, bite, kick and kick while harboring the same kind of sadness in their hearts.
I am also very worried about Su Qi's actions, but my worry is: "Brother, I am a married woman, and you are a married man. In addition, we are still biological brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. The king of a country in the world, it’s not good for us to do this, right?”
Su Qi spread out his folding fan that he never left his hand, and said casually: "What kind of married man are you? A court wife is about the same. As for me, the king is the life of a lonely family. Who would dare to marry me?" Said I was her married husband?"
I said, "Then do you think it's appropriate for widows and widowers to live together?"
Su Qi propped his chin and glanced at me: "It's fine, you can come up with a title yourself, so that you can still live in the palace in this way."
I touched the human skin mask on my face and thought about it: "You can consider a righteous sister and make a princess of a different race..."
Su Qi sipped tea, and said slowly: "Then if I run to the righteous sister's palace every day, don't the people below still think that I am interested in you and want to accept you as a concubine?"
"..."
Facing a person who is so thick-skinned that he is invulnerable to guns and bullets, and whose mouth is so sharp that he can wear through iron, someone with my level can only be speechless.
At that time, Su Qi did not return from the court, so I woke up in the side hall of the living hall where the emperor of Su now lives, dressed and washed under the service of the maids, and then I was carried on the wheelchair, pushed to the dining table, and took the food. Chopsticks, start to eat breakfast.
As Su Qi's favorite concubine, she received countless special treatment.You can get up late in the morning, you don't have to wait until he comes back to eat, you can go out of the palace freely, and you don't have to wait for him to go back to sleep at night.
To be honest, before these decrees were issued one by one, I didn't know that Su Qi could be so considerate.
It's been like this for four months, and it looks like it's going to go on as long as I'm alive.It's not that there were no ministers in the former court who expressed their opposition to the life of Su Qi and I. There was even an old lady from the three dynasties, Fu Chang, who couldn't afford to kneel down and remonstrated with death. Su Qi sent them all back with three words: "I am happy to be alone." .”
In my opinion, Su Qi is more capricious than any king in Su history.One of the most absurd things he ever did was to pay off the vulgarity for a brothel girl, and that was all, and even brought it into the palace without permission, causing countless uproars.However, ever since I, as my own younger sister, was appointed as the favorite concubine and placed in the Dawn Palace, the king's bedroom, the previous incident can almost be ignored.
Although few people know my true identity, it is still conceivable that on the day when the truth is revealed, the court of Su will be more crowded than the market.
But it probably has nothing to do with me then.I took the soul drunk and came back to life after dying, but I probably won't be able to cheat like this again in a year.
At that time when I woke up, I was still in a state of ignorance and confusion, the maid had already hurriedly called Su Qi over.He sat beside my bed, flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and casually said five sentences, with ups and downs, which almost made me faint again.
The first sentence is: "Father died two months ago, now you have to call me Brother Huang."
The second sentence is: "You have been in a coma for four months. The effect of the soul intoxication medicine is too powerful, and the best time to save you has passed. Although you have come back to life, your legs can no longer walk."
The third sentence is: "After the feudal town was pacified, four months ago, Su and the Southern Dynasty fought a war, and the Southern Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat."
The fourth sentence is: "Although you are awake now, the imperial doctor said that there is still a limit of 20 years old, and you have more than a year to live."
The fifth sentence is: "Although it's only a little over a year, it's in exchange for ten years of my life. Su Xi, you have to live well this time."
I was stunned for a while when he said the first sentence, and I was stunned for a while when he said the second sentence. After the fifth sentence was finished, my eyes were straight all afternoon and I couldn't say a word.
The sum of the first four sentences is not as good as the last one, which makes my heart beat like a pounding, I can't believe it.
The royal family of the Su Kingdom has treasures, which can be used to predict future misfortunes and fortunes, and can also bring the dead back to life.
I have heard this since I was a child, but I have never witnessed it with my own eyes.In my opinion, this is just a means used by the kings of the Su Kingdom to appease the people. I once asked my father whether it was true or not. My father only told me that it would cost a hundred times to go against the sky. Even if it is true, This kind of thing can't be done.Therefore, I have always regarded this statement as false, and the so-called royal supernatural powers are nothing more than a phoenix dance and a human skin mask performed by the princesses. In fact, only the secrets known to the kings, princes, and rescued people for hundreds of years are the real treasures of the royal family of Su.
I thought Su Qi and Qin Lian had the same thoughts.Even though he would think it would be cruel to trade a sister who was dying for a long-awaited war, he would also feel it was worth it.Righteousness means no righteousness, and the truly outstanding rulers of the royal family have always understood and been good at using this truth.And exchanging his ten-year lifespan for his sister's more than a year of lingering life, this is tantamount to not worthwhile for a king.
It's even ridiculous.
It's not coldness, but this way of thinking has long been an instinct that a qualified prince and emperor should have.
But I never thought that Su Qi would give up ten years of life for my younger sister who would not live to be 20 years old.
I am so useless, how can I afford such a weight.
I was so shocked that I was stiff all afternoon, slumped on the bed like a carved stone man.It wasn't until Su Qi came to see me again during dinner that I finally came to my senses, my whole body was shaken, I looked at him for a while, and then threw myself into his arms and cried loudly.
Su Qi put his arms around my shoulders, patted my back, and said with a smile: "How about it, compared to that scumbag in the Southern Dynasty, I'm your considerate and gentle brother Yushu Linfeng, okay?"
He spoke jokingly, but I was still sobbing that I couldn't speak, just nodded.
To be honest, I have never felt that Su Qi's embrace is so kind and warm before.When he was a child, he was full of bad taste, and when he grew up, he was full of conspiracies and tricks, and he had a very provocative mouth, which could coax a group of officials and the people of the whole country into chaos. In my heart, Su Qi This elder brother exists just like Qin Lian. His coldness is not his intention, but it is definitely an instinct that has been trained. He has always been soberly calculating and calmly controlling. He should have dismissed such a complete loss-making effort without thinking. .
Su Qi continued: "Think about how ignorant you are. You disrupted all my arrangements, but you did it on purpose."
His clothes were already wet with my tears, and my lips were trembling. Su Qi went on to say, "Who made a promise to me back then that if the first two strategies fail, if you are executed by Qin Lian, you will be killed?" Did Ah Ji act as a substitute to die on your behalf?"
My crying became even louder, it was already crying without image, Su Qi was probably shocked by my rare outburst of power, the hand that patted my back stopped, originally planned to beat me again, look at my The look was too embarrassing, and finally I couldn't bear it, opened my mouth, and said for a while, "Don't cry. Don't you ask me how I smuggled you back from the Southern Dynasty?"
I choked for a long time before spit out a few words intermittently: "Don't dare to ask."
"Yo," Su Qi raised his eyebrows, "You've even played suicide, and now you still dare not ask?"
I whispered: "In the past, half of my life belonged to me, but now my whole life belongs to you, and I never dare to make you angry like before."
"You also know that you made me angry before." Su Qi snorted, and tapped the handle of the fan with a half-smile, "Then tell me, how will you repay me in the future?"
I wiped my eyes and said, "Of course you will be what you say."
Su Qi suddenly pinched the handle of the fan and lifted my chin, stared at me, and smiled softly: "In that case, sister, you can promise me with your body."
"..."
I thought Su Qi was just talking for fun, but I didn't expect that he really planned to do this.Su Qi looked as if he had already made up his mind. On the second day, he sent someone to pick an auspicious day. A few days later, I was brought into the harem as a new concubine. Not only did I live in the Dawn Palace where the emperor usually lives , he was also majestically exempted from the etiquette of kneeling to worship the queen, the reason he used was very simple, Rong Ji's legs were paralyzed, and she didn't kneel down to see the orphan, let alone the queen?
It's like ignoring Qin Xiuxuan, who is now weak and weak, to the extreme.
I was very leisurely in the Dawn Palace, so I inquired about many things.
For example, on the day news of my death came to the Su Kingdom, my father immediately sent 20 troops to suppress the border. With Su Qi as the main general, he beheaded the chiefs of the two border cities. His head was sent to the Southern Dynasty Palace and presented to Qin Lian.
It is said that Qin Lian was still in a good manner at that time, his complexion did not change, and he did not even blink his eyelids. He just gave an order to drag down the envoy from the State of Su who was in charge of delivering the head, and divided his body. Arguing against the public opinion, he said that he would go to the imperial conquest in person.
For another example, the marriage between Qin Lian and Zhao Youyi still failed after all.The reason Qin Lian gave to the ministers was not that national affairs come first and personal affairs last — but he used the most straightforward and unbelievable reason to make Zhao Youyi completely give up, and I was very embarrassed when I came back from the dead — —He said that the queen died suddenly, and she was very sad, and the marriage was called off.
When I heard these twelve short words, I was trying to scoop up a vegetarian ball with a spoon, but I stopped for a while, and finally there was a crisp "ding", and the spoon fell to the ground and broke into two halves .
Although I was a little bit hopeless at the beginning, but at the same time I had to admit that I was not without resentment in my heart at that time, if Qin Lian was indifferent even after I died, I would still insist on going hand in hand with red and white affairs. If Zhao Youyi is married to the side where I was buried, no matter how magnanimous I am, I can't help being angry. Even if I go to hell and become a ghost, I will climb up to harass them.
However, looking back on it now after being resurrected from the dead, I feel that Qin Lian's actions were a little messy.Now that I am dead, it is useless to do these things. No matter how much he grieves, I will not come back from the dead. Besides, as long as he still has the strength to think, he should be able to think that my sudden death will definitely make the Su Guo who is eyeing him have a The excuse for sending troops is that the Zhao family is capable of both civil and military skills and is very rich. If he wants to deal with Su Guo, he still has to consider the best way to win over the Zhao family.
For the sake of a Su princess who caused the war and was called a disaster, she rejected a very favorable marriage, which was like wasting half of Qin Lian's previous efforts.He had not been so dizzy since the Regent, and this was the first time.
However, no matter how you say it, Qin Lian's not marrying Zhao Youyi still comforts me a little bit after I am alive.
Then, I learned that I was transported back to Su from the Southern Dynasties in such a slovenly manner.At that time, Su Qi gave me a delicate brocade bag with jade petals when he visited Nanchao. In the interlayer, there was a human skin mask almost exactly like mine.I gave the brocade bag to Ah Ji, originally thinking that since I was determined to die, this kind of thing would be useless, so I might as well give it to Ah Ji in case she needs it, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy .
Su Qi said, according to what was originally agreed, Ah Ji was supposed to be a substitute, but I deliberately married Ah Ji out of the palace, making it clear that I was causing trouble for him.Thanks to his adaptability, he had searched for a woman with the same figure as me outside the palace early on, and then he described in detail how he made Ah Ji troublesome and frightened to replace me after my death, and how he worked hard to replace me. Fortunately, it was winter and I kept it very carefully, so that my body was fresh, intact and not rotten when it arrived in Su.
I was completely confused when I heard it, and I always felt that it was a creepy feeling that such weird things happened to me.But after listening to this story, after Su Qi said those five sentences, my endurance has been greatly improved by him, so although I felt horrified, I was not confused for a long time, and soon I asked Su Qi again. How did it bring me back to life?
However, Su Qi has been refusing to answer this matter.He told me very rudely that this was top secret and that even I was not qualified to ask.I just need to know that I am really alive now, that I am not really dead, and that is enough.
Since he didn't let me ask, I had no choice but to stop asking.
As for the war between southern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu that the common people have talked about the most these past few months, when the war was in full swing, no one in the gambling house bet on it.This is understandable, let's not talk about which gambling house dared to die. During the war, this kind of traitorous bet was placed. If a person loses, he will be ridiculed by others, and if he wins, he will be angered and beaten, and he may even die when he walks out of the gambling house.
Su Qi used his omnipotent methods to the extreme on the battlefield.At the beginning of the confrontation, the two armies had a mutual victory and defeat.Later, after Su Qi heard about Qin Lian's reason for canceling the marriage and the report from the spies who returned from the Southern Dynasty, he quickly asked Su Zi to make a lot of human skin masks that were exactly the same as mine, and then found them overnight. A large number of military prostitutes who are similar in size to me and prostitutes in nearby villages and towns put masks on them, and then pulled them to the front of the army before the battle, without saying a word, just silently wearing these with the same face as me A woman with a similar figure in clothes showed to Qin Lian, who was personally conscripted by Yu Jia.
Unexpectedly, the effect was unusually good.According to Mr. Su Guo Pingshu, at that time, Qin Lian led an awe-inspiring army. He was one point introverted, two points calm, three points calm and four points strategizing, but these introverted, calm and calm strategies all disappeared after seeing those women, not only All of a sudden, his blood color disappeared, and it was difficult to even maintain his figure. If he hadn't grabbed the reins in time, he would almost have fallen off the horse.He also turned a blind eye to Su Qi's provocation, and just stared straight at those women, with his lips tightly pursed and his eyes like nails like arrows, as if he wanted to see a hole in them.
So it is conceivable that if the commander-in-chief's army is in disarray, the Southern Dynasty will be defeated.In that battle, Qin Lian lost [-] soldiers and a general.
When the two armies meet next time, Su Qi is even more perverted, leading the women to the front of the battle as usual, and then yelling nonsense to Qin Lian from the air without blushing and panting under the eyes of everyone: "Qin Lian, listen Said that after my sister committed suicide because of you a few days ago, you hugged her tightly and refused to let go. You kept muttering that she was not dead, and like a madman, you stabbed the palace maid who went to bury the corpse into mutton skewers. Then guess what? Guess, among these beauties, is it possible that one of them is Su Xi?"
This time Qin Lian was much calmer. Although his eyes were still fixed on those women, he was still very calm, and quickly replied to Su Qi's words: "Su Xi is already dead."
Su Qi smiled and said: "Then why does His Majesty the Southern Dynasty still stare hard at these people?"
"These are beauties after all, isn't your Highness leading these beauties to the front of the battle just for people to see?"
Su Qi said with a smile: "No, I have other uses."
Then Su Qi did something that was in line with his unpredictable style of handling things but at the same time it was unbearable for ordinary people.Among those beauties, he picked the one whose figure and appearance was the most similar to mine, called her to him, and then, in front of everyone, he asked a general to stab the beauty's chest with a knife and halberd.
It is said that the beauty was splattered with blood three feet and died in a terrible state. It is said that this time Qin Lian's face was even uglier than the last time. It is said that Su Qi, who is used to fueling the flames and sowing discord, added one sentence too much: " Maybe this is Su Xi, Your Majesty the Southern Dynasty, do you believe it or not?"
After hearing these words, Qin Lian's complexion was no longer pale enough to be described as pale.He just froze for a while on the ever-changing battlefield. When the horn blew, he didn't even see the several crossbowmen Su Guo was aiming at him.
In this battle, the Southern Dynasty lost [-] soldiers, and six generals were killed or injured. Qin Lian had an arrow in his chest, was dying, and fell into a coma for ten days.
After this battle, the Southern Dynasty was defeated, and the army retreated thirty miles in embarrassment.On the second day after Qin Lian woke up, he signed a peace agreement with Su Qi regardless of the objections of the ministers, cut off three cities, and killed Zhao Youchen and Zhao Youyi according to the agreement. Return to the capital of the Southern Dynasties to recuperate.
Since the founding of the country, the Southern Dynasties have never encountered such a shame and humiliation.Although most of the monarchs of the Southern Dynasties were infatuated and lustful, all the monarchs never lost their ambitions and misled the country because of their lust.When the news of the defeat spread to the territory of the Southern Dynasty, the people of the Southern Dynasty were distraught and indignant. Not a few committed suicide, and many cried bitterly.
As for Qin Lian, since he was born, he experienced defeat for the first time, and probably only he knows how it turned around.Su Qi told me that after returning to the palace, Qin Lian slept in the Yong'an Palace every night, was lazy in government affairs, and was depressed, and then he became ill for more than two months.
After he said this, he observed my face very carefully, and I asked, "What do you think I am doing?"
Su Qi held the wrench in his hand, and said leisurely: "Of course it depends on whether you feel distressed."
"Why should I feel distressed?"
Su Qina looked at me with strange eyes: "You don't even know, how could I know."
"..."
After listening to it, I really didn't feel much in my heart.
People who have already died once, it would be childish to dwell on such meaningless issues.
What I couldn't see at the time, I can't figure it out now.
There have always been beauty-dividing schemes.However, in the scripts and historical facts I have read, the stories of fine works and kings have never ended well.One death is considered light, but two deaths are even more tragic.From this, it can be deduced that the marriage between me and Qin Lian, whose motives were not pure from the beginning, is really a tragedy predestined by the heavens.
But at that time, he didn't believe in evil, he didn't accept his fate, and he insisted on going to the Southern Dynasty against the advice. Looking back now, those actions were undoubtedly very reckless and stupid. It was wrong to set off for the Southern Dynasty from the very beginning.
Su Qi told me that since I don't feel sorry for him, don't blame him for being cruel to Qin Lian in the future.I said to him, brother, you have plotted against the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and I don't know. I used to be too self-willed and ignorant, so you should take more care of me. Now my life is yours. Naturally, I will fully support you in whatever you do.
Then Su Qi had an unbearable expression, and said, "Can't you just stop talking about the ten-year lifespan? My creditor didn't even mention you, a debtor, every day."
I whispered, "I feel ashamed of your generosity. How about I go make you a plaque and hang it on the wall over there."
Su Qi knocked on my forehead with a folding fan: "You've lost your mind."
I sneaked a look at his face, seeing that he was not in a bad mood, so I said hesitantly, "Brother..."
"What are you doing?" He was picking up the teacup to drink tea, the rim of the cup was already resting on his lips, and then he stopped, turned to look at me, his face that was still calm just now turned into a smirk, He said word by word: "If you dare to ask me how I plan to deal with Qin Lian, be careful that I will break your leg."
I sighed and said, "My legs are already lame."
Su Qi choked for a moment before saying, "Anyway, I won't tell you."
"..."
Although I don't know what Su Qi is going to do, but after thinking about it, although the Southern Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat, it is still a large, prosperous and prosperous country after all, and Qin Lian is still a scheming, calm and self-sufficient king. What kind of indiscriminate tricks, Qin Lian is in the capital of the Southern Dynasty, on his own territory, he will probably have a way to crack it.He is so smart, much better than my brain, I don't need to worry about it here.
What's more, I don't worry about my own lifespan. Instead, I worry about the unknown problems of Qin Lian who is thousands of miles away.
As for hearing that Qin Lian's current harem has no concubine or concubine, I thought selfishly in my heart, anyway, he will marry a wife in the future, maybe news of his wedding will come tomorrow, as for today , just take it as his compensation for me.
Although I told myself over and over in my heart that I shouldn't hate anyone, I would never despise compensation too much, and in the eyes of Su Qi and Su Zi, Qin Lian owed me a lot, they told me over and over again, I listened a lot and felt that Qin Lian owed me something if I put aside my family, country and world. He didn't do anything when I was alive in the Southern Dynasty. Then after I died in the Southern Dynasty, if he did something like that, I would do nothing. Receive it with peace of mind.
In this way, today after day, after four months in a row, I still haven't received the news that he is going to hold a wedding.I also thought, probably now that the Southern Dynasty has just suffered a disastrous defeat, the whole country has to recuperate and live frugally, and Qin Lian must start from himself. Marriage, referring to my big wedding at that time, is too extravagant and wasteful. It does not match the current situation in the Southern Dynasties, so it will be postponed.
I thought about it like this, and the more I thought about it, the more inexplicably uncomfortable I became, so I had to interrupt my thoughts and turn my head to think about other things.
Ever since Su Qi mentioned the strangeness of the royal family of the Su Kingdom, I suddenly remembered that one day when I was sitting in a wheelchair, since the founding of the Kingdom of Su, none of the kings who sat on the throne seemed to have lived a long life.The lifespan of every monarch will not exceed 60 years old, and some even die suddenly when they are older.The longest-lived founding monarch, Su Ye, only lived to be 59 years old.
I asked Su Qi, and he answered me like this: "Whether it's watching the sky or going against the sky, there is a price to pay."
He also told me that the kings of the Su Kingdom generally do not pry into the will of heaven on their own, and often use the help of a celestial master, and they will not easily compromise their own lifespan to prolong the life of others. And died of a strange sudden illness.
This is the case with the father, and so is the father's father.
So I was very worried about Su Qi who prolonged my life.
I told Su Zi, who came to see me in the palace, about my worries. She played with the Nine Rings that Su Qi brought me back from outside the palace with great interest, and waited until they were all untied before slowly talking to me. Said: "He will worry about Su Qi's affairs. It's useless for you to worry."
When she said this, it happened that Su Qi was stepping into the Dawn Palace, and before a face appeared from behind the screen, a voice with a bit of a smile came in: "Su Zi, it's none of your business to have you like this The one who hangs up? Thanks to your daughter's body, if you are a prince, you will have to sit on the throne."
Su Zi said solemnly: "How could it be? If I were a prince, brother, how could you be so magnanimous as to let me live till now?"
Su Qi coughed, as if he was suddenly very interested in the Jiulianhuan in her hand, pointed and said: "This thing was untied so quickly? It must not be Su Xi's handwriting."
Su Zi squinted at him and asked, "Why don't you let Nan Chao send a proton?"
Su Qi said lazily: "What's the use of sending protons? Qin Lian's relatives don't recognize him, and protons are a burden to us."
Su Zi said: "At the very least, after the protons are delivered, Qin Lian has no reason to send troops for the sake of the agreement. The right time, place and people are as good as he lacks, so he dare not disturb the situation easily. It's just one more person to eat, you It's not that I can't afford it."
Su Qidao: "People and this thing, different people have different opinions. Those people in the Southern Dynasties are obviously not yet fully enlightened, and this little agreement can't hold them back at all. Qin Lian can use the assassins I sent to assassinate him back then. How can a mere proton We can stop him. What's more, if he sends one, we have to send another one, who do you think should be sent?"
When he said this, it meant that he had made up his mind.Su Zi glanced at him, and had nothing to say, she just picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.
Summer gradually entered the country of Su.The roses bloom one after the other, red and pink, white and white, more flavorful, really beautiful.I have been in a wheelchair for five months, and when summer comes, the feeling of sitting every day is even more difficult, but I am still alive, and that is enough.
According to the doctor's advice, I lived a life of drinking a lot of medicine every day.In addition to traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, there are food supplements and massage, and it will take half a day to sit down on these things.But this time, the people from the hospital did not show me a bitter face, and even occasionally encouraged me when they saw me with a bitter face, but the words of encouragement really made me even more depressed: "Weichen once participated in Princess Xi's cough Diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Princess Xi's condition is similar to yours, but Princess Xi's endurance is far inferior to yours."
I looked at him blankly: "..."
Occasionally, Su Qi would like to use my legs as persimmons when he came back earlier with less work.One day, before the sunset had fully set, he came back, and after dismissing everyone, carried me to the bed according to the massage practice. When I bent down, I lowered my eyes slightly, and saw a few silver strands in his hair.
Those few gray and white hairs mixed in the black hair looked very eye-catching.I was slightly taken aback, and let go of the hand that was holding his neck, and showed him the white hair, "Su Qi, you already have white hair."
Su Qi looked at it along the way, froze for a moment, then smiled quickly: "A year ago, I was very bored and checked, and there wasn't a single one at that time."
I'm a little speechless.
I remember that before I went to the Southern Dynasty last year, my father's appearance was extremely young compared to his peers, and my father's hair was still completely black at that time.
And Su Qi is only 23 years old this year.
I was dumb for a long time, stumbled and asked him: "Is it because of those ten years of life?"
"If I say yes, you still have to drink soul drunk again?"
I opened my mouth and said, "Life is too precious this time, I don't dare to waste it like this."
Su Qi tapped my folding fan lightly on my unconscious legs, and said, "It's good that you know."
I thought about it, and still felt a little uncomfortable.Think about it, since I was a child, I didn't help Su Qi except for copying a few books. Instead, I always held him back. Now that he has put so much effort into me, it really makes me feel like I'm on fire. Tossing and turning.
Su Qi has always been very calm. After I tactfully expressed my guilt, he asked me: "You might as well think about it the other way around. If you were to give up ten years of life for me to live for one and a half years, would you be willing?"
I said without hesitation, "Of course."
Su Qidao: "That's it."
Although I said so, I was still very entangled and had nothing to do, so I had to take out the old zither and fiddle with it.Thinking about it, I still feel a little helpless. When I was a child, I was locked up in the house all day because of a cough and couldn’t go out. At that time, I was looking forward to growing up. When I grow up, the cough will no longer occur, and I can go wherever I want freely. , Picking a plum blossom by yourself will no longer be a wish.And now my cough really doesn't attack anymore, but my legs have no strength. Although Su Qi allows me to go in and out of the palace, but the most basic thing is to think of people standing and me sitting all the time. After having to be served by palace servants when walking, he lost even the slightest interest in going out.
I tried to tune the guzheng a few times, and found that the timbre was very problematic.At first I thought it was because the strings of the guzheng had not been used for a long time, and then I gradually felt something was wrong. It happened that the palace man brought hot tea. superior.
The palace servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees and rushed to tidy them up, but I had no time to pay attention to them, so I raised my hand and moved it vigorously, and found that my fingers were still somewhat numb, but a little softer than usual, at least I felt relieved , but when he tried to clench his hand into a fist again, he found that he had no strength left.
It's never a good thing.I looked at my hands and sighed silently.
Soon the imperial physician was summoned, and Su Qi and Su Zi also rushed over.The Chief Physician Tang of the imperial hospital was sweating profusely under the gaze of his six eyes. After taking the pulse for a long time, he dared to stumble and say: "Rong Ji, Rong Ji..."
Su Qi said in a deep voice: "If you repeat it again, Rong Ji will cut off your tongue."
Doctor Tang trembled all over, and said: "This pulse condition is very rare, and I dare not speak nonsense. If the teacher of my minister is still alive, it may be relieved. Now I speculate that Rong Ji may have internal organs in the next few months. Gradually fail and even degenerate, then it will not only be a problem of paralyzed legs..."
He murmured, and I interjected, "You mean, in the future I might not be able to eat, drink or sleep, maybe I won't be able to hear or see, right?"
The poor Tang imperial physician had to put his hands on the ground in his old age, buried his head deeply, and said tremblingly: "This, I dare not make a judgment, this is just a possibility..."
After a while, Su Zi asked in a low voice, "Is there a solution?"
Doctor Tang wiped his sweat and said, "I dare not make rash judgments..."
Su Qi said coldly: "You might as well judge when you died."
Physician Tang trembled with fright.
No one spoke in this spacious hall for a while, it was strangely quiet.
To be honest, this time I definitely felt a little sad.
The feeling of unwillingness is gone. I have been tossed through ups and downs several times in the past two years, and now I will not be surprised or angry if I tell me anything.It's just that I'm still a little sad, I don't know if it's for myself, for Su Qi, or something else.
Living like this is a bit of a lingering meaning.It's like grinding a knife bit by bit on a whetstone, until all the strength is exhausted before you can die.
Such an unsatisfactory way of living, if the imperial doctor told me that I would be like this after I accidentally took poison a few years ago, I would probably be terrified, and I would wipe my neck and cut it off in two before I got married with Qin Lian, but now I can't do that .
I didn't talk much until night.Su Zi comforted me a few words, seeing that I was still in a daze and couldn't listen, she sighed and left the palace, only Su Qi and I were left in the Dawn Palace.
I stared at Su Qi with a dull gaze, probably comparable to that of a dying fish.And Su Qi was sitting opposite me, his eyes were clear and he only focused on dealing with the exquisite ivory folding fan in his hand, his face was quite calm, as if he hadn't noticed my situation at all.
After a long while, I finally couldn't help but speak, with a hoarse voice, as if a boulder had been run over: "Brother."
Su Qi gave a "hmm", looked up at me with a slight smile, looked at me seriously and affectionately, and then said softly, "Sister."
My throat hurts even more, and the choked sobs pervade from bottom to top, driving my heart to ache: "Brother."
Su Qi was still very gentle: "Sister."
"elder brother……"
"younger sister……"
"elder brother!"
"younger sister!"
"..."
After repeating this quite strangely several times, I was finally forced to turn my depression into speechlessness.
I wiped away the cold tears all over my face, and said angrily: "The atmosphere has been disturbed by you!"
Su Qihui gave me a rather disdainful look, as if saying "You are not only stupid but also hopelessly hypocritical", while raising his voice: "Come here, bring water, Rong Ji needs to wash her face. "
I drank the medicine according to the new prescription that the imperial physician tried to make, and it proved to be effective.Although the hand still feels weak sometimes, it has not deteriorated after all.Conditions such as deafness and blindness have not happened yet, but the people in the Tai Hospital still hinted at me harshly. If it doesn’t get worse now, it doesn’t mean it won’t get worse in the future, and if it doesn’t get worse in the future, it doesn’t mean I can continue to live. It's best not to have too optimistic hopes, because it can only get worse in the future and not get better. In any case, I will continue to live in dire straits.
Intimidated by Su Qi Tianwei, they said these words behind Su Qi's back.But then it spread to Su Qi's ears for some reason, so the imperial physicians headed by Tang imperial physicians went back to the life I had when I suffered from frequent coughs in my childhood: Su Qi tossed and beat the group of people in different ways, so that These imperial physicians who had been relying on the old to sell the old and lived quite comfortably were once again living a miserable and miserable life.
Now it is just right to describe me as having no power to restrain a chicken.Ever since I accidentally dropped the soup bowl twice in a row, I was treated like a baby, and every meal was either fed by Su Zi or Su Qi did it for me.This kind of thing is different from leg paralysis. I feel that I have been hit hard and my personal dignity has been frustrated. I have resolutely refused many times, but in the end I am no match for Su Zi and Su Qi's eloquent tongue. Whenever I lose my temper, they How to feed or how to feed, how to feed tea or how to feed tea.
I'm a little frustrated with this situation, but at the same time I can't really say that I can't live through it.Everyone is working hard for me. This kind of privilege of pouring all the power of a country for one person is simply not enjoyed by ordinary people.
Day by day went on like this, and one day news came that Qin Lian was making great use of witchcraft in the palace of the Southern Dynasty.
It is said that one day, Qin Lian suddenly committed smoking for some reason, and then continued to smoke for many days. He gathered a group of Taoist priests to enter the palace, and danced the whisk and wore Taoist robes every day. , I heard that the purpose seems to be to let them find the soul of the former queen Su Xi.
This news spread with nose and eyes, but it is quite absurd when you think about it.It's hard to imagine that even if Qin Lian really found my soul, what can he do?At this time, it has been half a year since the day I took the poison, and most of the bones of the body double in the coffin have already rotted, and Su Qi has hidden me so tightly that I don't know where Qin Lian got the magical inspiration to do such an unreliable act. Spectrum things for people all over the world to watch.
That night when I was talking to Su Qi, he put the spoon close to my mouth, held a handkerchief under my chin with the other hand, and casually said: "Qin Lian's mind is abnormal, don't pay attention to him."
I drank the soup and asked, "Could it be that you have revealed something?"
The corner of Su Qi's mouth twitched: "Why do you say that?"
I said: "There was no reason at first, but now that you ask this question, there must be some reason."
"..." Su Qi's expression seemed a little annoyed, but it quickly turned off again, "Well, I admit, maybe it was because I was too casual when I killed your double on the battlefield, so Qin Lian got up after I went back. But so what, even if he knew you were still alive, he would not be able to find you anyway. Besides, even if he did find you one day, it might not be..." He stopped in the middle of the sentence, and smiled instead: "Stop talking, drink soup."
"Furthermore, even if you find it, you may not be able to meet me for the last time, right?"
Su Qi glanced at me, with a half-smile on his face: "Why are you so concerned about Qin Lian? Are you anxious to see him?"
I adjusted the expression on my face without showing any trace, and then looked at him with very innocent eyes, "I didn't."
"You have."
"I do not have."
"You have."
I tilted my head and akimbo, imitating Su Qi's appearance: "Okay, I have what I have, what can you do to me?"
"..."
Halfway through the summer in Su, I learned from Su Zi that Qin Lian suddenly insisted on giving the fortress to Su.
In fact, there are not many news about Qin Lian since I woke up, but each one is more important.For example, after three months of recuperation, Qin Lian finally regained his wise and martial appearance of Wen Neng seven steps into poetry and martial arts.For example, on the first day Qin Lian returned to the court, officials from the Southern Dynasty submitted the memorial for the draft, but Qin Lian quickly dismissed it with a simple sentence of "we will discuss this matter later".Another example is that Qin Lian still looks calm and steady even when he loses people, soldiers and cities, and his diplomacy with Su is neither salty nor weak, and he has an imposing manner from the beginning to the end.
Until he suddenly didn't say hello, brought up the proton topic that had been put aside before, and sent an envoy to visit, with sincere words, attached a document, and said he would send it in person.
That document happened to be seen by me as well. The text is as calm and steady as his own, and it was written by Qin Lian himself.
I read that document over and over again, and I can recognize every word and every sentence, but when combined into an essay, I don't know what Qin Lian is thinking.But Su Qi didn't care about these, he only knew that he didn't need a proton, let alone Qin Lian's presence, so he rejected Qin Lian's behavior very simply, and only one word back to the envoy of the Southern Dynasty: "No."
However, this time, Qin Lian changed from his previous noble and reserved diplomatic attitude, and became a bit stalking.Soon he sent an envoy back, saying that as a show of sincerity, he was willing to take a royal family brother as a pledge, and donate a city to Su State, so as to achieve peaceful coexistence on the border in the next few decades.
Su Qi was not interested in protons, but was very interested in that very rich city.He originally wanted to sneer at Qin Lian's words, but the city Qin Lian promised was too tempting, and the white meat he got would not fly away in vain no matter what, even if he knew there must be something hidden in it, Su Qi would still After gathering important officials for two nights of discussion, they finally agreed to Qin Lian's proposal.It's just that Su Qi is also a rascal, Nan Chao wanted to send the proton and the city, but he only gave some jade objects to express his gratitude, and he didn't intend to reciprocate to make the proton a pair.
A few days later, the proton of the Southern Dynasty came to the capital of Su with documents and entourage.
It is said that this proton is also surnamed Qin, with the single character Ke.I only heard about Qin Ke when I was in the Southern Dynasties. I knew that there was such a person who was Qin Lian's cousin, and his gender was male. As for the others, I didn't know anything about it.
Fortunately, there is also Su Qi's shadow building dedicated to inquiring about various news.Soon I had a preliminary impression of Qin Ke. Xiao Qin Lian was two years old, unmarried, and the only son of An Guogong Qin Fei.Familiar with poetry and books but not martial arts, quiet and polite, good-looking, good knowledge, good moral character, in short, everything is good, in fact, as a member of the royal family, it is not easy to be able to do all these things well, at least even Su Qi They didn't do all of these, Su Qi's morals were extremely poor, and his knowledge was only good at the part of governing the country.
If Qin Ke hadn't been sent to the Su country as a hostage, he should also be regarded as the dreamy person in the hearts of many boudoir ladies in the Southern Dynasty.It's just that he was born at an untimely time, and Qin Ke was overwhelmed by Qin Lian, who was able to excel in everything. No. 1 and No. 2 always received a lot of attention, so Qin Ke was not very popular. What the world has heard, it is not surprising to think about it.
Originally, at the beginning, Qin Lian said that he would personally send this cousin over and meet Su Qi by the way. The general meaning of the document seemed to be that it had been a long time. He missed Brother Su very much, so why not drink tea together. Let's talk about the past, and then discuss the experience of governing the country.But when Su Qi didn't want to be reasonable, he was really annoying. First, he deliberately withheld the document and pretended not to receive it. After a few days, Qin Lian had already set off, and when he was two hundred miles away from Beijing, he seemed to suddenly remember it. Then he picked out the document again from the tabletop.
After Su Qi punished the court lady who didn't know a lot of characters, he slowly returned Qin Lian a document with very rude words, which roughly meant that he was a loser like Qin Lian who had no character, no morals and was defeated by his subordinates. There is no good tea to drink, no old stories to talk about, and no experience to tell stories about, so asking him to go back and forth from wherever he is is not welcome.
But it seems that after dealing with shameless people like Su Qi who have no bottom line and no morals, Qin Lian has become a lot better this time.He also pretended not to have received Su Qi's reply, until he was almost at the border of Su country, and then replied to Su Qi belatedly, saying that he was a guest from afar, let alone a full-loaded guest. Well, Su Qi, as the king of a country, should be magnanimous, so it's better to hurry up to greet him.
Then Su Qi enthusiastically opened the border gate of the State of Su, claiming that he would be waiting to meet him at a place [-] kilometers away from the capital of the State of Su, to show the kindness and hospitality of the host. The two high-frequency assassinations of Qin Lian on the territory of Su State, and the killing of the recruits, made Qin Lian in a mess since entering the State of Su. They knelt down and begged Qin Lian to return home.
After going back and forth like this, Qin Lian still failed to reach the capital of Su State after all, and led everyone back home on the penultimate day.
After I heard the whole story later, I simply felt that the development of the plot was speechless and outrageous.This is not the demeanor that two monarchs should have, it is just like two teenage youths fighting each other.
On the day Qin Ke met Su Qi, I was lazily flipping through the script in the Dawn Palace.It is said that Su Qi originally planned to place Qin Ke in a mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, but unfortunately, the second day after Qin Ke moved in, the water drained out of nowhere, and everything that could be incinerated was incinerated.Su Qi sneered that Qin Ke was really a broom star sent by the Southern Dynasty, and at the same time wanted to find another house for him.However, looking at the whole capital city, a house that is too common is not suitable for Qin Ke, and Su Qi is unwilling to let him live in a house that is too luxurious. After looking around for a day, he couldn't find a house that would please Su Qi, so he had to move it temporarily. He was placed in the imperial palace, a place that looked dilapidated on the outside, but even dilapidated on the inside.
Even so, Qin Ke is still quite at ease.Your son seems to be quite generous, and Su Qi was a little surprised when he heard about it.But the surprise is the surprise, Su Qi, who hated the Southern Dynasty people both publically and privately, still continued to hate.When dinner was approaching, I was arguing with Su Qi whether to drink porridge or eat meat. Su Qi insisted that I eat porridge, and I insisted on eating meat. When the two of them couldn't settle down, the palace servants came to report that Qin Ke was outside asking for an audience. , wanting to express in person his gratitude to Su Qi for finding a house for him for a day.Su Qi scoffed at his rhetoric, but couldn't find a reason to let him go back, so he could only ask him to come in.
It was the setting sun, and although the days in summer were always long, the palace of the imperial palace always wanted to highlight its magnificence, let alone the main hall where the king of a country lived on weekdays.Therefore, the ordinary and extremely cheap sunlight cannot shine into the room. It has to be covered with heavy curtains, and then screened through layers of bead curtains until only [-]% of the sunlight is left, and there are dark shadows in the room. Light the tall candles carved in various places, and cover them with exquisite gauze, one in three steps, and in pairs in five steps, until the hall is full of lights.
It is said that it is against the rules to meet Nan Chao's proton here, but Su Qi has done too many things that are against the rules, and he doesn't care about one more thing.I hid behind the screen, and watched Qin Ke lead his followers in step by step in this hazy yellow light. First, he was led by the palace guard in charge of the palace gate, and then he was quickly led by the palace maid at the middle gate, and finally he was on the first floor. The bead curtain, his face was not completely revealed until the palace guards opened it.
Qin Ke bowed his head to thank Su Qi, I observed him secretly, and felt that compared with the entourage behind him, this person's appearance was indeed pretty good.But if they stand with Qin Lian and Su Qi and others, then it can only be regarded as acceptable.
However, when Qin Ke faced the extremely shameless Su Qi, he couldn't even use the word Shang Ke in his reaction.
After listening to Qin Ke's rather official and emotionless thanks, Su Qi didn't get angry, and just asked: "I heard that Qin Lian was practicing witchcraft in the palace a few days ago, and gathered a group of Taoist priests to enter the palace, wearing Taoist robes every day. Is it true that the practice of chanting words will stir up the whole Roufu Palace into a miasma and make it uneasy?"
Qin Ke said: "I don't know whose nonsense it is. Your Majesty has always been diligent in governing and loving the people, and recently he has ruled with mercy. He never paid attention to such low-level things."
Su Qi said with a smile: "How can this kind of thing be nonsense. Your majesty recruited Taoist priests into the palace. A hidden guard pretended to be a Taoist priest and mixed in. A few days ago, they just sent news that your Majesty was depressed, sick with longing, and had a persistent high fever. Or is it fake?"
"..."
Qin Ke probably didn't expect Su Qi to dare to speak out about his tricks so openly, and he choked on his throat for a while, not knowing what to say.And Su Qi always likes to bully dull people and provoke smart people, so he continued on his own: "After talking about Qin Lian, let's talk about you again. Since you are a proton, do you think that in five years' time, if the Southern Dynasty When we meet Su State again, will the Southern Dynasty win or the Su State will win?"
Maybe it's because the heat of the day hasn't dissipated, or maybe it's because there are too many candles in the room and it's stuffy. Although I'm not too close, I can vaguely see Qin Ke's mouth opening and closing, and the sweat on his face. trickle down.
Su Qi's folding fan also opened and closed, and when he was satisfied, he said leisurely: "I really wonder why Qin Lian has no vision to see such a situation, and actually picks you to be the proton. Do you understand what a proton is? A proton means that even if Gu kills you directly, Qin Lian can’t do anything to Su Guo. If you want to live, you must be aware of current affairs and bend down when you should. You His Majesty the Southern Dynasty is not here, and it won't kill you if you say something nice, what kind of lofty posture you put on, it's extremely pedantic. Don't put on your so-called backbone here, it's useless."
Qin Ke's legs were weak, and he was about to kneel down. Fortunately, he was supported by the entourage behind him before he managed to stop. He collected himself, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right."
"Go on. In the future, don't let Gu see you again, and it's best not to let Gu think of you."
A few days later, the imperial physician came to check the pulse as usual, but as usual, he was at a loss for what to do about the condition, and he just gave me some tedious precautions again, and then advised me to go out of the palace to have a look and relax since I have nothing to do.
Although I always thought that I didn't have any troubles, every time the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, he asserted that my inner depression could not be resolved, insisted that I must alleviate the sorrow in my heart, and implied that although I was waiting to die, I was in a happy mood After all, waiting to die is always better than waiting to die in a depressed mood, so it's better to walk around.I was speechless at this tone of standing and talking without back pain.Thinking about it, when anyone knows that the imminent death is not far away, they will not be in a happy mood.Besides, it is not up to me to decide whether I am happy or not. I also want to be happy all the time, but I have no choice.
It's just that although I insist that I have no worries, I can't make Su Qi and Su Zi believe it.Both of these people said with certainty that I must be bored in my heart, but I am just temporarily dead.I was helpless, so I felt a sense of sadness and sigh that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
