Early landing in the world of martial arts

Chapter 336

The speed of the sun setting is neither fast nor slow.

In the blink of an eye, the moon in the east has already taken the place of the sun in the sky.

The empress returned to her room, and the little cat demon who was so devoted to her also slipped in and stayed by her side.

at this time.

There is only one vague candle in the room, illuminating the dark room.

After nightfall, the woman's complexion suddenly became a little haggard, and under the reflection of the candlelight, it was even more miserable.

It's a pity that even the cat demon is on the sidelines.

And in this huge deep palace, how many poor people with the fate of this woman are locked up?

Back then when he established himself as a king in the mountains, he only thought it was so majestic, but he didn't expect the emperor in the world to be so domineering.

How is there a saying in this world?

Yelling, occupying the latrine and not shitting.

The cat demon shook his head and thought, only thinking that he has some real talents and practical learning.

"You little guy looks quite spiritual, and you are so alive. If you say that you want to let your master know that you can't be found, will you be worried?"

The cat demon shook his head.

Recalling being suppressed by an old guy in the imperial study room, and reprimanded by a majestic middle-aged man.

It's better to be at ease in this cold palace. Although it's a little deserted, how can the place of the palace not be deserted?

"At the beginning, there was also a person who was worried because I didn't see each other. But now he has disappeared. I think you are just like me, a poor person."

After nightfall, usually when poor people feel resentment, this woman raised her head.There was a bit of reminiscence in her eyes, and the moonlight leaked inadvertently from the window fell on her hand, and she stroked it for a long time, as if she was touching the hand of her sweetheart in the past.

The night outside the window is so gentle, so free, like other women when they were young.

"If you don't mind, I can be your listener."

A handsome man appeared in the house, and the little lynx disappeared.

The empress turned her head slightly surprised, but after a while, she smiled softly again.

"You seem to have appeared in my dream once."

The woman smiled and said that she took the reality in front of her eyes as a dream.

Maybe it's because I stayed in this cold palace for a long time, I don't know the years outside, I don't know how warm and cold people are, and I can't even distinguish between dreams and reality.

"I'm here to listen to my mother's heart. You have suffered so much in this cold palace for so many years."

The cat demon said emotionally.

He wanted to reach out to touch the face of the woman in front of him, but just as he stretched out his hand, he quickly retracted it.

The woman in front of him was so holy under the moonlight, how could he reach out and defile her.

"If you talk about suffering, there are many people in this world who are suffering more than me. Those poor families who have toiled in the fields all their lives, those Yingying and Yanyan who are locked in the pavilions, if you think about it carefully, there is no one who is not more miserable than me. .”

The empress smiled and said, she can take it easy, even after staying in this cold palace for a long time, it is inevitable that she will feel some self-pity in her heart.

"Do you hate that man for not seeing you for a long time?"

"Which man? I can't even talk about hatred, it's just a little bit of loss. Those vows of eternal love were all for naught..."

"What promise did His Majesty the Emperor make to you?"

The cat demon really felt pitiful for the woman in front of her, especially with that melancholy look on her face.

"Emperor? The man who made my vows of eternal love come to naught is not the emperor. Although I am a concubine in name, I have no real name but no essence."

The woman said with a smile, but she was confused by what the cat demon who was listening carefully at the side said.

"You little man is really interesting. You are clearly the character in my dream, but you don't even know what I'm thinking."

"That's because I'm too far away from my mother."

Said the cat demon, boldly stretched out a finger, and gently touched the empress's forehead.Suddenly a little light bloomed from his forehead.

The cat demon closed his eyes, and the empress closed her eyes too. The light seemed a little bright under the moonlight, and memories of the past began to emerge in the minds of the two of them.

……

She and the man in her memory seemed to meet in a noisy market.

He had seen that market before, when he was captured here by the old eunuch, he passed by that place.

At that time, the woman who was only cardamom was still ignorant, and the encounter with that man that day was also ignorant.

So much so that the memory is so blurred that I can't even see the man's face clearly.

On that day, the two seemed to meet by chance, and the date of seeing each other again was thought to be uncertain.

But it was accidentally seen in the palace.

At that time, she was sent by the family to be a show girl to choose a concubine, and the man really wanted to stand upright among a group of guards, and the gap between the two identities was instantly widened.

With this woman's national beauty and celestial beauty, she was naturally chosen without any difficulty, and became the emperor's new favorite.

However, after becoming a concubine, the woman discovered that the man had a very good relationship with the emperor in private.

When the emperor chose her, it wasn't because of her beauty, but because she had the right to act as a favor to connect the two of them.

At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and he didn't have much authority in his hands. If he wanted to grant a marriage, he would be somewhat lacking in convincing power.

Therefore, it is only in this way that the two can cultivate their relationship in secret.

So it can be seen that this new concubine who entered the palace won the favor of the emperor in a short period of time. She would bring her cronies and guards to the palace to greet her a few times throughout the day, but she never stayed there overnight.

Competing for favor in the harem is commonplace, and those concubines who also entered the palace together were naturally unhappy in their hearts, and began to squeeze out and suppress in various ways, which annoyed the women at that time.

Then he couldn't stand it anymore, and then asked the emperor to put himself in the cold palace.

At that time, the Leng Palace was located in a remote place in the imperial palace, and the surroundings were even a little eerie.I don't know how many concubines who fell out of favor died.

But this does not prevent that humble guard from communicating with this disgraced empress.

Until suddenly one day, this empress was moved to the cold palace next to the imperial garden, and she never entered since that day, the guard came.

And Jin Siqu, who was locked in a cage, also became more and more sad, but everything can be healed in the years.

With the passage of time, the man seemed to have gradually withdrawn from her heart, and she also lived comfortably in the cold palace, except that she was a little cooler.There is nothing serious about it on weekdays.

"Do you remember what that man looked like?"

The cat demon said suddenly.

"I only remember the first time..."

After the words fell, a face slowly appeared in her mind.

Seeing that human face, the cat demon couldn't help being shocked.

Chapter 337

Although the age gap is still a bit big, the basic appearance of that person can be vaguely seen from this face.

Isn't it the old eunuch who followed the emperor a few days ago?

But given the age gap between the two, it might not be an exaggeration to say that the empress in front of her is the eunuch's daughter.

Thinking that the old eunuch had a love history with this beautiful woman in front of him, the cat demon felt quite uncomfortable.

Slightly sour emotions filled the heart.

But at this moment, it couldn't help but recall that in the imperial garden during the day, when the two chatted, the old eunuch said that this cold palace would be built here.

All his suggestions.

To be able to make the emperor do such unsystematic things, there must be some news that is unknown to outsiders.

But this news is definitely not something that the empress in the cold palace can know.

Perhaps it was a transaction between the emperor and the eunuch alone.

"Do you remember the man's name?"

"Ning Ran, I remember, my name is Jin Si, his name is Ning Ran, I remember...I still remember..."

"All of this... I still remember..."

Saying this sentence was like talking in a deep dream, and the woman limply lay down.

After a while, he breathed evenly.

He just fell asleep like this.

Maybe it was just recalling that memory that was too deep, a little tiring and a little sad.

The cat demon didn't pry into the details of those memories carefully.

But it can probably be seen that a seed of affection has been planted between the two at the first sight.

Then, under the emperor's intentional matchmaking, this seed gradually germinated and became a towering tree.

I don't know why, but Ning Ran didn't become the head of the guards in the end, but became a eunuch instead, and aged so quickly.

There must be some tricks in this.

The cat demon thought so.

Looking at the woman who was sleeping soundly under the moonlight in front of him, he quietly transformed back into that bobcat, and dexterously jumped out from the window sill.

Then he climbed up the high wall, fell to the ground, and became human again.

Then, he found the old eunuch who happened to be in the pavilion.

"Your breath disappears here, but I sat in the gazebo and waited for you for an hour."

Seeing the cat demon, the old eunuch said in a deep voice.

There was no emotion in his voice, and no emotion could be heard.

The cat demon didn't speak, but he was quite vigilant, keeping a safe distance from the old eunuch, enough for him to escape or fight back.

It feels like the old eunuch is in a bad mood tonight.

"Why did my father-in-law investigate the internal affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so quickly today? Aren't you afraid of those people under his command? Aren't you cheating and cheating?"

The cat demon pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

The old lady raised her serious face indifferently, stood up with her hands behind her back, looked at the cat demon, and asked in a cold voice.

"Did I tell you during the day not to step into that cold palace? But I turned around and you went in. What do you mean?"

The old eunuch's words were quite intimidating, and the words unconsciously contained a trace of the power of his own realm.

"It's just listening to Miss Nana talk about it. She said that there was a heartless man who made a promise to her forever, but it turned out to be nothing in the end, leaving him alone in the cold palace."

The cat demon simply let go and spoke directly.

When these words came out, the old eunuch's expression froze, and he felt that he was wronged, so he didn't continue talking.

"Didn't she say anything else?"

The old eunuch's voice was still cold, but there was some slight expectation in it. He was looking forward to saying his name from the woman's mouth.

"Yes, he told me that the man's name is Ning Ran. It seems to be the common name of a certain eunuch in the palace, isn't it? Eunuch Ning..."

As soon as these words were said, the old eunuch almost couldn't help but make a move, but he tried his best to restrain this impulse, and his clenched fists burst out with veins.

"Since you also know, it seems that you are not allowed to stay in this palace."

The old eunuch's voice was chilly, with a murderous aura of freezing three feet, and the cat demon who was a distance away from him felt the cold from the bottom of his heart.

"If you want to kill me, I'm just a tiny life in the mountains, but what I'm more curious about is why the man he liked at the beginning became a eunuch, or an old eunuch?"

The cat demon said coldly, since the other party has shown killing intent, then he just doesn't care about it and tears his face.

"What do you know? Where is the friendship in this palace? How can the emperor of the ages treat a guard as an equal? ​​Everything in the world is nothing more than a transaction in his eyes. Although there are so many years of friendship, it is under the trend of the times. , in the face of interests, everything seems so weak..."

The old eunuch's words carried a lot of emotional fluctuations. The cat demon's actions today were like a key, which suddenly opened the knot in his heart that had been hidden for many years.
