beauty on beam

Rongyue woke up faintly from her nightmare, and saw a thick silk curtain hanging in front of her eyes.He wanted to get up, but accidentally touched the wound in his body, and gasped in pain.

At the end of last night, he passed out, unconscious.Is it God's pity for him to give him such luck to escape the more painful ravages?

Rongyue was thinking in a daze, when she suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from outside.

"Did she take all the medicines sent to the Queen Mother on time?" It was Han Shaoqing's voice, gentle and cold.

"Yes, the queen mother sometimes resisted, and the guards had to be a little violent. I am reporting to the emperor, and I hope the emperor will show mercy." This was Han Shiyun's voice.

"I understand everyone's hard work, as long as the Queen Mother can drink the medicine, it's okay to be rough. Just don't make wounds, so as not to be gossiped."

"Yes, I understand naturally. It's just that I have something I want to ask..."

"What's up?"

"What kind of medicine did the emperor send to the empress dowager? After taking it, the empress dowager was in a trance, sometimes angry and manic, and sometimes depressed. I really don't understand."

After a moment of silence, Han Shaoqing suddenly sneered.

"Uncle Yun, it's just you and me here, but it's okay. I commissioned Hua Qianhe to prepare this medicine. When you first take it, the patient feels refreshed and rosy, but after a long time, his mind will become confused. In the end, he went completely mad, no different from a madman." Han Shaoqing said with narrowed eyes and sneered, with a smug expression on his face, "Of course, even the imperial doctor couldn't find out the clues of this. "

Han Shiyun frowned: "Shaoqing, I knew that you were determined to kill Yuan Qingji, but isn't it too much for you to drive people crazy like this? She has no son, even if she ignores her, there is nothing she can do in the future. "

"Uncle Yun's words are wrong. Ji Yuanqing is cruel and ruthless by nature. Under heavy pressure, she will rise up and do the opposite. If you don't cut the grass and root out as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Han Shaoqing's words were scorching, Rongyue got under the quilt, her whole body was cold.

Han Shaoqing had clearly promised him that he would let the Queen Mother live, but it turns out that...he lied to him...?

It turned out that he still wanted to put Ji Yuanqing to death? !

His ears were buzzing, and when he came back to his senses, the silk curtain had been lifted, and Han Shaoqing was standing in front of him.

"Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?" Han Shaoqing smiled gently, as if he were the same as the tyrannical king last night.As he spoke, he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch Rongyue's pale face.

"No...don't touch me...!" Rongyue stared wide-eyed, shook her head and shook off Han Shaoqing's hand, "I...I don't want to associate with people who say nothing!!"

Han Shaoqing withdrew his hand, his eyes gradually showed coldness, and he looked at Rongyue silently.

"Did you hear what I said just now?" He asked in a low voice, narrowing his eyes.

"You clearly promised me that you would spare the Queen Mother a life, why...why do you still..." Rongyue asked loudly, exhausting all her strength.

"I really wanted to let her go, but I heard a secret report saying that she was secretly planning a rebellion to win over the military officer, so I had no choice but to treat her like this." Han Shaoqing said frankly, as if he had been prepared for a long time and had good reasons.

"You lied! You wanted to kill her from the very beginning!!" Rongyue said harshly.

Han Shaoqing froze for a moment, then laughed again: "Okay, think about it from the beginning, let's think about it from the beginning. I'll talk about other things later, turn around first, and let me see the injury you suffered yesterday."

Before Rong Yue regained consciousness, the quilt on her body was pulled off, her waist was also buckled, and she turned over and lay on the bed.

"Ah..." Rushing her sore buttocks with warm hands, Rongyue blushed shyly.

"I'm just giving you some medicine, it's okay." Han Shaoqing comforted softly, and gently opened Rongyue's snow-white buttocks.

The tender flower heart was exposed in the air, shivering slightly as if afraid.There are still dark red and white turbid remnants on the folds, which look pitiful because of the ravages.

"Your Majesty..." Rongyue struggled to turn her head, her body was stained with a thin layer of blush.

"In the future, if there are only you and me, you should call us the same way as before," Han Shaoqing sighed with a smile, "I don't call myself Zhen anymore, seeing how wronged you were when you were called the emperor, it really seems to force you What kind of poison did you take?"

As he spoke, he took the ointment and carefully applied it on Rongyue's back acupuncture point.

The back acupoint felt a burst of comfortable coolness instantly, and the coolness spread in the body bit by bit.Rongyue felt that the pain from last night had really eased a lot.

"If you are obedient and obedient in the future, I will naturally not hurt you again. But if you do something wrong, I will not be lenient with such a punishment."

The slender fingers were suddenly bent inside the body, and Rongyue cried out in pain.

"Do you understand?" Han Shaoqing lowered his head and whispered, his fingers covered with ointment slowly retreated from the corridor.

"Rongyue... Rongyue understands..." Rongyue nodded weakly, with tears in her eyes.

He began to feel confused, Han Shaoqing's words were so righteous, could it be that he did something wrong and thought wrong?

Han Shaoqing still likes him, is he too self-willed, is he looking for trouble?

Does it mean that if you obediently listen to Han Shaoqing, everything will become beautiful?

"Okay, I have to go to work, you just fall asleep alone." After taking the medicine, Han Shaoqing put the medicine jar on the bedside, "If you still feel uncomfortable, just apply some yourself, and you will get better slowly. I hope Don’t let this happen again in the future, it will make us all unhappy.”

"Yes... Rongyue understands..." Rongyue nodded dully, wrapped her body back in the quilt.

Han Shaoqing looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly leaned over and kissed his lips.

"Remember, be obedient."

Gently repeated the irresistible words, he got up and left, closing the door gently.

The room became quiet again, Rongyue turned her head and looked out the window, sighing slowly.The Han Shaoqing in memory will never come back.Should I learn to adapt to this change instead of always feeling awkward and unhappy?

Shouldn't he be more sensible and respond to Han Shaoqing's feelings in the way he likes?If we do this, will everyone be very happy instead of being tense like they are now?

Thinking to the end, until she fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion, Rongyue didn't come up with a good answer.

Until late at night, Han Shaoqing had not come back.Rongyue was so bored that she panicked, she got up and got out of bed while the guards were not paying attention, and ran out to relax.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, covering the surroundings with hazy halos.In the garden on a spring night, there is silence, and occasionally there are one or two crisp chirps, making it even more serene.

Rongyue was wandering aimlessly, when she suddenly heard a woman's cry in the distance.

There was a chill behind his back, and he almost cried out in fright, but after careful identification, he found that the crying sound came from the Queen Mother's Hall.

The cry was mournful and shrill, hoarse.Rongyue was afraid at first, but gradually she felt a burst of sadness, as if she could feel the pain of that person after hearing the crying.

Is that... the empress dowager's cry?

Rongyue already knew her viciousness and cruelty.She was a heinous sinner in Han Shaoqing's mouth, but why did she cry so sadly?

Is it because the child was killed?

Knowing that she is a villain, Rongyue couldn't restrain her feet, and walked to the end of the garden following the cry.In front of him was a tall gray wall covered with dark-colored bricks and tiles, and the door was locked with vermilion lacquer, and there was no one in front of it.

Looking at the vermilion door that was darkened by the moonlight, something suddenly seemed to surge out of her body, making Rongyue unable to restrain herself.Knowing that this was wrong, he stretched out his slender hand uncontrollably.

"Squeak──" With a long and distorted sound, the vermilion lacquered wooden door was pushed open a crack.The heart was about to pop out of her mouth, Rongyue pushed the gap a little wider and slipped in.

On the other side of the door, there is another garden.It reminded him of the back garden where he sneaked into King Yongqing's mansion a long time ago.

At that time, he saw the stupid and innocent Han Shaojun for the first time and talked to him.

Then separately.

At that time, I never thought that it was a farewell.

Then, he met the pursuers of the palace, arrested the thief, and hid in a tree in a panic.

Then, he stumbled and fell and was rescued by Han Shaoqing.

Han Shaoqing was the thief, because those treasures belonged to the Han royal family.

If at that time, he hadn't sneaked into the back garden.

If then, he escaped in time, or did not fall from the tree.

Or, the timing of the fall is a little earlier or later.

Now, will everything be different?

Will he never meet Han Shaoqing, nor will he know his ambition, his identity, and his wish?

Rongyue thought foolishly, and slowly stepped into the harem.Suddenly there was a sharp sound in the distance, and the cold air seemed to form layers of shallow waves.He immediately got chicken skin and his scalp was numb.

It was the sound of the zither, like weeping and complaining, seemingly messy but full of agility;

Rongyue listened intently, and felt a bit of depression and sadness while listening.

The person who plucked the strings seemed to have endless sadness and complaints, but he had nothing to say, so he could only throw himself into the music to relieve his knots.The resentful sound of the piano pierced deeply into the ears and went straight to the bottom of my heart.

Rongyue searched for the sound, pushed aside the heavy flowers and green trees, and a small hall gradually appeared at the end of the garden.

"Is...is there anyone..." approaching the small hall, he asked aloud.There were vague figures floating in the hall, but no one answered.

"Is anyone there?" He raised his voice and walked closer.Still no one answered, but the voice of a woman humming could be faintly heard.

Rongyue boldly walked into the small hall, a few small candles were burning in the hall, the light was dim.There was a person sitting by the window, leaning on the railing and lying down, the long white gauze skirt was dragged on the ground, it was already full of filth.Even the little violin at hand was so old that it was on the verge of collapse.

The man hummed softly, shaking his head from side to side.The messy long hair was randomly tied into a bun, and the fork seemed to fall off at any moment.

Suddenly, the man turned his head and smiled at Rongyue.

"You...you are..." Rongyue suddenly widened her eyes, unable to believe it.Even though she was so filthy and crazy, she couldn't hide her former beauty.

The lunatic in front of him is actually Yuan Qingji!

"You are... are..." Yuan Qingji turned her head and laughed.Her beautiful face was gray and black, and her expression was in a trance.

"You...what's the matter..." Rongyue couldn't help stepping back, the madman in front of him was completely different from the dignified and graceful Queen Mother of Han Dynasty in the past, which frightened him.

"What's the matter...hehe...hehehehe..." Yuan Qingji smirked, dragged up her dress, and stood up shaking.

Kuang Dang──

The violin at hand was knocked to the ground, making a heavy sound, which was particularly frightening in the middle of the night.

Yuan Qingji showed a dazed expression, turned around clumsily like a child, and looked down.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Looking at the old qin, she suddenly let out a sharp scream, and knelt down to hug the qin, regardless of the dirt on the ground.

"Young Master!──Young Master──!" She hugged the old piano, screaming and crying.That crazy and shrill voice seemed to burst Rongyue's eardrums.

Such a sad, desperate, heartbreaking voice.Although it was a voice that confused her mind, Rongyue could feel the pain she felt when she lost her beloved son.

When seeing Han Shaojun die, he was so shocked and desperate.

She can't vent when she's awake, she has to be patient.The patience that exceeded the limit did not break out unscrupulously until now when it lost its normal state, and it intensified.

Rongyue was terrified and afraid of disturbing Yuan Qingji, so she could only move her feet slowly, stepping back bit by bit.

But at this moment, Yuan Qingji raised her head, her eyes showed a fierce look, she held Xiaoqin and stood up, rushing towards Rongyue.

"It's you! ──It's you who killed Shaojun! Killed Shaojun!!" She screamed and rushed forward, waving the broken piano in her hand.Rongyue was stunned in horror, seeing Yuan Qingji's ferocious face getting closer and closer, she couldn't even make a sound, so she could only close her eyes in despair.

At this moment, several guards rushed in from outside the hall, and the leader raised the back of his sword, and slashed at Yuan Qingji's face mercilessly.Yuan Qingji screamed, covered her face and stepped back.

Hearing the voice, Rongyue opened her eyes slightly.In the dim candlelight, Yuan Qingji shivered like an animal, covering her cheeks with her hands.Between the fingers, dark red sticky blood flowed continuously.

Two guards stepped forward to support her left and right, and tied her hands together to the window rail.Rongyue turned her head and saw Han Shiyun standing at the door with a panicked face.

"You...are you not injured?" He strode forward, holding Rongyue's face and looking around.

"No...no..." Rongyue shook her head, "Thank you King Yongqing for coming in time and saving Rongyue's life..."

"It's fine. If you get hurt again, it will be bad if the emperor blames it." Han Shiyun sighed, "Now the queen mother is not in good health, she is in a trance, almost crazy, and the imperial doctor is helpless. I don't know who forgot tonight Locked the garden gate to frighten you."

"No, it's Rongyue's fault for running around late at night, please forgive me, King Yongqing." Rongyue lowered her head, feeling chills in her heart.

Well, one is not in good health, I'm afraid Han Shaoqing and Han Shiyun have been cooperating with each other to fool the people in the palace like this?

He was lying in bed that day, obviously hearing everything.Han Shaoqing wanted to put Ji Yuanqing to death, and never hesitated.The medicine he sent was the root cause of Yuan Qingji's madness.

That's not a tonic, it's a poison that drives people crazy! !

No one can stop what Han Shaoqing wants to do.Rather than being troubled and sad, it is better to forget everything──I hope this is the case, but why is my stomach full of pain?

Feeling dizzy before her eyes, Rongyue hastily bid farewell to King Yongqing.He stumbled and ran out of the garden, his legs went limp, and he knelt down by the lake in the garden, throwing up all of a sudden.

The food at night was vomited clean, but the stomach still twitched and churned.The mouth was sour, and finally spit out clear water continuously.His face was blurred with tears, and the cold night wind blew, causing burning pain.Not being able to vomit anything anymore, Rongyue hugged her shoulders and knelt by the lake.

"Young master...Young master..." He kept calling towards the empty lake, but he didn't know who he was calling.

That gentle young man will not come back long ago, didn't he already know it?

Obviously knowing, why can't I always accept the fact that it won't change?

"From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to go out." Han Shaoqing said coldly, closing the book with a snap.

Rongyue bowed her head and said nothing, the incident of accidentally entering the Empress Dowager's Palace could not escape his attention.The maids and guards who served the queen mother were severely punished, some died and some were injured. Han Shaoqing endured and endured, so he didn't even punish Rongyue together.

But brutality is still unavoidable. At night, Rongyue was pressed on the bed and humiliated severely, crying miserably, until he fell asleep from exhaustion, and Han Shaoqing reluctantly let him go.

Half-awake, Rongyue realized that she hadn't vented all night.

This was the first time his body felt no joy under Han Shaoqing's comfort.

The next day someone came to pick up Rongyue and took him out of the original palace.The new place is more luxurious, and it is the palace where the concubines lived in the past.After the death of the first emperor, Ji Yuanqing dismissed all the concubines and wanted to set up another harem for Han Shaojun.But Han Shaojun is a fool, he has no interest in matters between men and women.As a result, the matter of setting up a concubine was dragged down once and for all, and Emperor Han's harem was deserted, only the maids in the palace cleaned it every day.

Rongyue didn't know the difference between these main halls and side halls, she just felt that they were big and spacious, yet indescribably cold.Looking out through the window, the garden in the deep winter is covered with snow.The maids and guards stood everywhere waiting for orders, their faces were dim, and their expressions were also cold and stiff, like clay sculptures.

He walked into the garden by luck, and there was no one disturbing him around, but when he reached the door, he saw two guards stepping forward quietly, blocking them forcefully.

The same goes for other places, as long as it leads to the exit, there must be heavy guards, and it is impossible for Rongyue to leave alone.

In the winter garden, there are only a few bright red wintersweet plants standing proudly, and the cashmere moon walks back and forth boringly, and several palace maids and guards stay close to each other.He left the garden with a helpless sigh, and when he walked through the corridor, he saw a high wall beside him.

Beyond the walls are other palaces, just another cage.

He looked up, suddenly wanting to look outside.Even in the same cage, there will always be differences, right?

"You all go down, I want to walk by myself. Someone is following, and I am upset." He turned his head to disperse the attendants, and when everyone retreated, he looked around and walked to the corner.

The wall is not very high, Rongyue calmed down and took a breath, jumped up, and jumped onto the wall in one fell swoop.

The tiles slid under his feet, and he leaned slightly to stabilize his body.

The cascading roofs can be seen at a glance, and you can’t see the edge at a glance. Standing on the wall and looking far away, you feel refreshed instantly.

Rongyue suddenly felt very happy, looked around curiously, and found Hua Wuyou and Shen Su were in the garden separated by a wall.

After not seeing them for several days, Rongyue was ecstatic, waving and shouting again and again regardless of herself standing on the eaves.

Hua Wuyou and Shen Su were squatting and playing in the snow when they heard the cry and raised their heads.Seeing Rongyue standing on the eaves with thin clothes, she was both happy and surprised.

"Are you playing in the snow?" Rongyue bent down and asked happily.

"Why are you standing there? Be careful not to fall." Hua Wuyou ran to the wall and raised her head to shout.

"I'm bored by myself, so I climbed up to watch... ah!" Before Rongyue finished speaking, her feet slipped suddenly, and she really obeyed Hua Wuyou's words, and fell off the eaves.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Hua Wuyou jumped forward and lay down on the ground.Rongyue fell straight down and landed on him, and the two of them fell into the snow in a state of embarrassment, splashing snow all over their faces.

"What are you doing?" Shen Su stood in the distance with her hips akimbo, shaking her head helplessly.Rongyue got up from Hua Wuyou, rubbed her head and smiled.

"I'm alone...so boring..." he whispered.

It was too boring and lonely, so... I climbed on the wall and wanted to look outside.

Hua Wuyou and Shen Su looked at each other and naturally understood.

Rongyue originally lived in the side hall, but one day she suddenly became silent, and was sent to the lonely harem, where she was raised by Han Shaoqing like a bird.

Han Shaoqing's status is different from the past, so the way he treats Rongyue is naturally different.Although the love is still there, it has become autocratic and domineering. He can do everything according to his own temperament and do whatever he wants.

Although Hua Wuyou and Shen Su were worried, they couldn't help much.The two of them were just entrusted to Han Shaoqing by Hua Qianhe, and they were just living under the roof of others. Although they knew everything and wanted to persuade them, their status was not enough.

Since they couldn't persuade him, all they could do was to play with Rongyue for a while to ease the loneliness in his heart.

They had a great time that day, wearing thick gloves and cotton padded clothes, making snowmen in the garden, playing snowball fights, and reluctantly left until dark.

Although they didn't say goodbye when they said goodbye, they knew each other in their hearts.

Han Shaoqing must not let Han Shaoqing know about playing together.

Seeing the twilight gradually rising, Rongyue greeted the two of them, jumped up the wall again, and returned along the way.

After going back for a short rest, Han Shaoqing came.The two of them ate together again, Rongyue smiled unconsciously as she thought about playing during the day.

"You seem to be very happy today." Han Shaoqing noticed his appearance.

"I..." Rongyue blushed slightly, "I'm glad to see you here..."

I don't know what happened, but such a lie came out of my mouth.Rongyue even surprised herself, lying to Han Shaoqing was something she never even dared to think about before.

Fortunately, Han Shaoqing was not suspicious, and believed Rongyue's words, and gently took him to eat with him, and went to take a bath together after eating.

Soaked in warm hot water, Rongyue gradually became in a trance, but the guilt in her heart became deeper and deeper.

He actually learned to lie, and frankly told lies in front of the person he liked.

When did I become like this?

However, despite the guilt, his longing for freedom has not changed at all, and even intensified.Whenever Han Shaoqing is not around, Rongyue will jump over the high wall, go outside to play with Hua Wuyou and Shen Su, or talk to others.

Although Hua Wuyou and Shen Su repeatedly reminded him to be careful, and he knew it in his heart, he couldn't help it.He likes freedom, and the life of being meticulously protected is not suitable for him.

It's just that he didn't expect that in the past, when he wanted to learn martial arts, he imagined that Hua Wuyou would be more capable like Shen Su, and that he would be closer to Han Shaoqing.Unexpectedly, after learning lightness kung fu, it was used as a tool to avoid Han Shaoqing.
