Reborn as King again

Chapter 90 Extra Story: Unrequited Love 5

He Wenliu saw Zhou Ling for the first time during the election of the show girls. Zhou Ling's alluring appearance really surprised He Wenliu. He Wenliu was not worried that someone new would take his place, because he had been in the palace for almost eight or nine years Now, from a boy in his teens to a young man in his 20s, there are many people in the palace who are younger and more beautiful than him, but Li Mujing has not forgotten He Wenliu's meaning. Unable to extricate themselves under his aura.

He Wenliu hated Zhou Ling not because of his looks or youth, but because he accidentally discovered that Zhou Ling worshiped the two people he hated the most in his life in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall in the palace is specially set up for the royal family. If the current emperor has any deceased concubines or heirs, their tablets will be placed in the ancestral hall. After the emperor also dies, these tablets will be moved together with the emperor's spiritual tablet To Taimiao.He Wenliu would find time to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to Dan'er almost every month. Once he saw sacrifices and an incense burner placed in front of the tablets of the two people he hated the most, and the incense on the incense burner had not been burned out.The imperial palace is a place where each other tramples and plots against each other. He Wenliu didn't think there would be any drama of sisterly love here, so he asked the eunuch who was on duty in the ancestral hall, who else came to the ancestral hall just now.The inner supervisor replied without thinking, besides Concubine Wen, only the newly promoted son Zhou Ling has been here today.

Zhou Ling?An unfamiliar figure flashed in He Wenliu's mind. He had only met Zhou Ling once. At that time, he thought that Zhou Ling was just a newcomer who relied on his beauty and his eyes were sky-high.He Wenliu remembered that Zhou Ling was not from the capital city, and his father's official position was very low. How could he have anything to do with those two people?

Just when He Wenliu was full of doubts, Li Mujing made a shocking decision, he wanted to make Zhou Ling his queen.

After He Wenliu heard the news, he felt chills in his heart. This Zhou Ling was not simple at all. How did he win Li Mujing's favor?He Wenliu thought that when he was framed by others, Dan'er's tragic death, and later when he had a dystocia, he almost lost his life. These two people were responsible for it. As for Zhou Ling, he had nothing to do with those two people but quietly To pay homage to them, why on earth?

For the sake of Zhou Ling, Li Mujing offended the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty and ruled out public opinion to make him the empress. He also completely broke Jia Wanru's heart, separated Jia Wanru's flesh and blood, and insisted on adopting the prince to Zhou Ling to raise him.What kind of charm does Zhou Ling have that made Li Mujing fall in love with him so much?He Wenliu watched everything Li Mujing did for Zhou Ling with cold eyes, and he always felt that something was wrong. Li Mujing was very kind to Zhou Ling, but it was too good.

Maybe it was because of jealousy, or maybe it was because of lingering fears about the ancestral hall, He Wenliu couldn't face Zhou Ling calmly.It was the first time that He Wenliu took advantage of Li Mujing's favor and became pampered. He didn't go to Zhou Ling's canonization ceremony, and he never went to greet Zhou Ling, and he didn't even go to Zhou Ling's banquet.Although Zhou Ling was canonized as empress, he didn't have the airs of an empress at all. He had a cheerful personality and got along well with the concubines in the harem.Zhou Ling also took the initiative to talk to He Wenliu, but when He Wenliu faced Zhou Ling, he would think of the ancestral hall. He felt that Zhou Ling was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but he had no evidence, so every time He Wenliu would shake Zhou Ling's face , so that he can't get off the stage, so they come and go again and again, and the two of them are also settled.

As a new favorite, Zhou Ling was so difficult by He Wenliu, which made the people in the harem startled. They all wondered if He Wenliu's mind was broken. Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by the emperor?Later, Li Mujing really had a long talk with He Wenliu. He Wenliu was ready to be scolded by Li Mujing, but Li Mujing didn't scold him. It's nothing.

Li Mujing is not the best for He Wenliu, he is not as good as Zhou Ling and Jia Wanru, but he is still very accommodating to He Wenliu, Li Mujing will never let He Wenliu intervene in things that He Wenliu doesn't like to do, what He Wenliu likes, No matter what, Li Mujing would get it for him. If there is any good thing, Li Mujing will definitely count He Wenliu's share.In fact, Li Mujing's request to He Wenliu is very simple, just two words, be obedient.Li Mujing hoped that He Wenliu would be obedient, just like playing with a doll, but when the doll gets rusty, He Wenliu also has his own opinions, and he doesn't always listen to Li Mujing's words. He knows that Li Mujing is for his own good, but why doesn't he put Li Mujing placed first.

When Liu Deng led the imperial army to enter He Mansion at night, the Queen Mother and the Liu family made it clear that He Wenliu was going to be used as a backing. He Wenliu didn't think about the consequences at all. I heard that all the imperial guards who broke into the He Mansion that night were killed, and Liu Ren and Liu Deng, the father and son who planned the whole incident, were also beheaded. He Wenliu didn't understand why Li Mujing did this. In his opinion, even if the Liu family had Selfish but also a generation of loyal ministers, they didn't make any big mistakes.Until one day Li Mujing said to He Wenliu earnestly: "Concubine Wen, I only hope that you will think more about Ji'er when you do things in the future."

Li Mujing's words gave He Wenliu a blow, and he thought about it a lot afterwards. What Li Mujing said was right, he had to think more about Li Ji.Yun'er is a princess, so it's good to find a good husband for her to marry in the future, at most she can buy more dowry, but Li Ji is different, Li Ji is a prince, and with the support of their He family behind him, he must be a thorn in the side of other princes The thorn in the flesh, if He Wenliu himself did something accidentally, Li Ji must be the first to suffer and be implicated.

It is a parent who hopes that their children will become successful, and He Wenliu is no exception, but there is a prerequisite, that is, their children must have this life.He Wenliu remembered that the brothers of Li Mujing's generation, except for the sons who lived well, the other sons who were outstanding, did not live long, and the sons who survived were all mediocre and mediocre.He Wenliu didn't want Li Ji to be like his uncles who died early, he would rather Li Ji be mediocre, so that he could live in peace and stability.

Li Ji is a very obedient child, but He Wenliu still sensed the seeming hostility in Li Ji's eyes when he looked at the prince. He Wenliu also asked Li Ji's opinion of the prince on the sidelines, but Li Ji refused to tell the truth.Fortunately, Li Ji is young now, Li Mujing still can't see Li Ji's thoughts, what He Wenliu can do is to keep Li Ji away from the prince, don't let Li Ji be too outstanding, lest he not live long.

At the Qionglin Banquet not long after, Li Mujing found a companion for Li Ji, Su Zhuo, the only son of the captain of the Imperial Forest Army.Generally, the emperor finds a companion for the prince, and you can see the emperor's expectations for the prince.Finding a third-rank military officer's son to be Li Ji's companion, it is conceivable that Li Mujing didn't like Li Ji very much. Others laughed at the emperor's dislike for Li Ji, but He Wenliu was very satisfied with it.

He Wenliu couldn't understand Li Mujing, and he had secretly observed and liked him since he was a child, but he still didn't understand.Li Mujing's temper is volatile, and no one knows what he is thinking. One day, he suddenly promoted He Wenliu, who had been cold in the harem for many years, to a high position. He had incest with the former queen in private for the sake of the former queen. After her beloved Jia Wanru, who had been in her palm for many years, fell into the bottom of the valley, separated her from her flesh and blood, and installed another Zhou Ling who came from a lowly background, no one could tell what Li Mujing wanted to do next.

The newcomer entered the palace, Zhou Ling replaced Jia Wanru and became Li Mujing's favorite, and the beloved concubine Liu Sha ran rampant in the harem because she was pregnant with a dragon heir, but what about the favorite?So what if you have a dragon heir?In the past, there were more beautiful concubines than theirs, but the result was not a dismal end. This is a lesson from the past.

He Wenliu found that the people who stayed with Li Mujing almost had no good end, and one day it would be his turn.He Wenliu was afraid, he was really afraid, he didn't dare to imagine his ending, would he die tragically or be alone forever?To He Wenliu, to accompany Li Mujing for the rest of his life is simply a dream come true.

On the night after the Qionglin banquet, He Wenliu was extremely tired. He returned to Qingluan Hall and lay on the bed in the dormitory alone, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

That night he had a dream, a nightmare. In the dream, he was still the third son of the He family who had unrequited love for Li Mujing. He still entered the palace and gave birth to Dan'er for his concubine, but Li Mujing never looked at him from the beginning to the end. glance.

In the dream, because He Wenwu became tyrannical and massacred the people of Yuan Kingdom, Li Mujing dismissed him from his army and demoted him to the border and ordered him not to return to Beijing without edict. The disheartened He Wenwu went to the border, and He Wenliu He never saw He Wenwu again until his death.Then He Wenyan was dismissed because he disagreed with Li Mujing's high-handed policy, and he was uprooted along with the members of the He family and He family.He Wenliu returned to the young master of the mansion because he was worried about He Wenyan's illness. At that time, the He mansion was already in a state of depression. The eldest sister-in-law Huang reconciled immediately after He Wenyan lost power, and left with the dowry and all the He family's belongings. The terminally ill elder brother was heartbroken, why did Li Mujing do this, all of their He clan were loyal ministers, why did Li Mujing want to kill them all?He Wenyan passed away not long after.

He Wenliu still stayed in the palace. He heard that Li Mujing had changed. He became extravagant and dissipated.The draft that was supposed to be held once every three years became once a year. Later, Li Mujing became cruel. He didn't know how many royal prisoners from other countries he humiliated and mutilated.

Not long after Li Mujing destroyed the He family, he extended his grasp to the Xia family. The Xia family was the empress dowager's natal family, and the head of the family was also the elder of the three dynasties.One day, Li Mujing suddenly ordered Xia Taishi's family and three clans to be executed, and the other six clans to be enslaved, and Xia Jiaan was not even charged with a single crime.When the Empress Dowager heard the news, the members of the Xia family had long since died, and the Empress Dowager, who was already suffering from angina, was pissed to death by Li Mujing.The extermination of the Xia family involved the Eighth Prince Li Mubing, Li Mujing's beloved younger brother.Li Mujing understood Li Mubing's character. He was afraid of Li Mubing's revenge, but he couldn't kill him. In the end, Li Mujing ignored Li Mubing's disappointed and sad eyes, and took him to the desolate feudal land for house arrest. Just stop doing it.

He Wenliu has been forgotten by Li Mujing to Yiliu Palace, because he is not favored, so Dan'er can grow up safely.He Wenliu was still thinking about Li Mujing in his heart, occasionally seeing Li Mujing from a distance in the harem would make him happy for a long time.When Dan'er was 15 years old, somehow she was chosen by a number one scholar, who wanted Li Mujing to marry her. Only then did Li Mujing remember that she had a daughter whom she had neglected for many years.Not long after the decree of marriage came down, Dan'er fell into the water and died.When Dan'er died, there was no one around, because it was winter, so it was assumed that she accidentally slipped and fell into the pond. Li Mujing treated it as an accident without investigating at all, but was it really an accident?The number one scholar is said to be the favorite of many princesses and princesses, but he just likes the powerless third princess Li Dan'er. It can be said that Li Mujing's gift of marriage killed her.

Dan'er's death destroyed the only pillar of He Wenliu's life in this world. He Wenliu's health was not good, and the successive blows made him completely collapsed.He Wenliu no longer takes medicine, he just wants to wait until he dies, so that he can see Dan'er after he dies.He Wenliu looked around the deserted Yiliu Palace and he regretted it, he really regretted it, he regretted entering the palace to participate in the flower appreciation conference, he regretted accepting the peony from Li Mujing, and he regretted liking Li Mujing so much like a demon for many years.If he didn't like Li Mujing, if he didn't enter the palace, then he could see He Wenwu off when He Wenwu was demoted from Beijing, see He Wenwu for the last time, and take care of He Wenyan when he was seriously ill, maybe If you can live for a few more years, the He family will not decline, because there is still him carrying it, and Dan'er, Dan'er will not be born in the palace, she will find a reliable person outside the palace to marry , and then live happily and simply.But all of this is just "if", all the most important people in He Wenliu have left.

In the next few years, He Wenliu lived in a muddle. He had no desire to survive, and dragged his sick body to survive in the palace. Gradually, his health became worse and worse, and he knew that he was about to die. died.Suddenly, one night, a group of people wearing strange military uniforms surrounded his Yiliu Palace. As soon as the group of people came in, they picked up their knives and killed all the inner prisons without saying a word. He Wenliu was stunned on the spot. What happened.

Just when the leading soldier raised his hand to chop He Wenliu, he was stopped by a shout, and a tall and burly man in armor came out, and the soldiers called him "General Huang".He Wenliu recognized that person, his childhood playmate Huang Kun, they never met after he entered the palace.

Huang Kun was surprised and delighted to see He Wenliu, and quickly dismissed the soldiers.He Wenliu didn't have the joy of reuniting with old acquaintances. He seemed to have heard the noise outside the Yiliu Palace, and he asked, "Do you know what happened in the palace?"

Huang Kun said with a smile: "Datong should change its dynasty. The dog emperor Li Mujing has been kicked out of power. Now we have captured the palace." He Wenliu couldn't listen to what kind of people they were living in, his mind went blank, and Li Mujing was kicked out.

He Wenliu interrupted Huang Kun impatiently and asked, "Is the emperor dead?"

"What emperor, he is already a prisoner." Huang Kun didn't notice the change in He Wenliu's expression, and said gloatingly, "The dog emperor is imprisoned by us in the Dao Palace. Doesn't he like to take pleasure in bullying prisoners? Then Let him be a prisoner by himself, he has been imprisoned by us for three days, and he died of hunger or thirst." Huang Kun said, showing off the key at his waist and said: "The key to the dog emperor is locked up. I still keep it."

"Really?" He Wenliu smiled faintly after hearing Huang Kun's words, then looked behind Huang Kun with a look of horror, and said, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Huang Kun also thought that there was someone behind him, so he turned around defenselessly. At this moment, He Wenliu picked up a vase on the desk and slammed it on Huang Kun's head, causing Huang Kun to faint on the ground.

He Wenliu took off Huang Kun's military uniform as fast as he could and put it on himself, packed up some things casually, picked up the prison key and ran out of Yiliu Hall.

He Wenliu's mind was full of one thing, he wanted to save Li Mujing, he couldn't let Li Mujing die like this.He Wenliu felt that he was so mean and ridiculous, he always thought that after Dan'er's death, his heart would also die, and he had already given up on Li Mujing, he should be happy when he heard that Li Mujing was in trouble, why did he feel sad?Why worry?He Wenliu realized that he had never forgotten Li Mujing, and still loved him so much, even though he ruined his family, his daughter, and his whole life.

The captured imperial palace was in chaos, and He Wenliu, who was wearing a rebel uniform at night, did not arouse the suspicion of others, and quickly found another set of clothes.After living in the palace for so many years, He Wenliu naturally found a safe way to reach the prison.

Li Mujing, who was locked in the prison, was in a coma, and He Wenliu fed him some water to wake him up.He Wenliu handed Li Mujing a set of rebel uniforms, and after he changed them, the two left together and began their escape career.

He Wenliu wanted to take Li Mujing to the border to join He Wenwu.He rented a carriage, bought some dry food and water, and set off with Li Mujing.During the rush, He Wenliu and Li Mujing didn't have any conversations, He Wenliu didn't know what to say, they didn't have much to talk about, but just like that, He Wenliu was already extremely happy, because the person he loved the most was sitting beside him.

He Wenliu had already run out of fuel, and coupled with several days of turbulence, He Wenliu coughed more and more every day, and his face became paler every day. On the fifth day, his body finally couldn't hold on, and He Wenliu got out of the carriage. Fall down and pass out.

When He Wenliu woke up again, he was lying on the weeds in a ruined temple, and Li Mujing was sitting beside him. He Wenliu wanted to get up, but was pressed down by Li Mujing: "You should lie down."

"Your Majesty," He Wenliu felt that his throat was so sore. He knew that he would not live long, and now that he could wake up, it was a flashback, but some things must be said now, otherwise there would be no chance. No, I can't be with you anymore, don't give up, you go to the border to find my second brother, my second brother still has some troops in his hands, and will definitely send troops for you."

"Concubine Wen, you are joking." Li Mujing said lightly.

Concubine Wen?It turned out that Li Mujing knew who he was. They hadn't spoken much during the five days of their escape. Li Mujing still remembered him, and remembered that he was Concubine Wen. In the hands of Li Mujing: "Take this jade pendant and go to the frontier to find my second brother. As long as my second brother sees this jade pendant, no matter what request you make, my second brother will agree. Believe me..." Then He Wenliu It was just a violent cough, coughing up blood from the lungs.

Li Mujing took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom and He Wenliu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked after a long time, "Concubine Wen, why did you save me?"

why?Of course it is because of loving you, I have loved you since I was a child, and I have always loved you. He Wenliu wanted to tell Li Mujing, but he couldn't say a thousand words in his throat. He Wenliu's vision became more and more blurred. He was reluctant, really reluctant, It was hard to get together with Li Mujing, and it was hard to talk to him. He didn't want to die like this. In the end, He Wenliu's eyes were completely black.

He Wenliu felt that his body was light and light. It turned out that he had become a ghost floating above the ruined temple. He saw himself lying on the haystack and Li Mujing sitting beside him. He Wenliu was sure that he was dead.

Li Mujing leaned against the wall in a daze, He Wenliu didn't understand why Li Mujing didn't leave, did he give up?He floated in front of Li Mujing and yelled at him, telling Li Mujing to get out of here quickly, there will be pursuers soon, it's not safe here.But He Wenliu was dead, and Li Mujing didn't know that there was a ghost still beside him, he couldn't see or hear, he just sat there and gave up everything.

For the next two days, Li Mujing didn't move, like a dead person, but He Wenliu still didn't give up, and tried every means to let Li Mujing know of his existence, but it was a pity that they were separated from each other.

Two days later, the pursuers arrived, and He Wenliu never dreamed that Huang Kun was the leader.He Wenliu was very remorseful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he should not have knocked him unconscious with the vase. He should have killed him.

He Wenliu watched helplessly as Huang Kun drew out his sword and stabbed directly at Li Mujing's chest.He Wenliu opened his arms in front of Li Mujing recklessly, but he forgot that he was already dead, and at this moment he was just a soul who could neither see nor hear anyone.Sure enough, the sword pierced through He Wenliu's body as if passing through the air, and directly pierced into Li Mujing's heart.

Li Mujing fell down, and He Wenliu saw Li Mujing looking at his body, and murmured, "I'm sorry, Concubine Wen, I failed your kindness in the end."

Li Mujing died, and died in front of He Wenliu. He Wenliu clutched his chest and felt so painful. It turns out that the sword in the soul also hurts. He Wenliu wanted to cry, but he couldn't shed tears. He wanted to hug Li Mujing, but his hands But passing through Li Mujing's body, He Wenliu couldn't accept all this. He loves him so much, how could he not be able to save him?

He Wenliu only felt that his heart was getting more and more painful. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, sat up, and the surroundings were dark. He Wenliu looked inside the room, familiar decorations, this is Qingluan Hall? !Does that mean it was just a dream?A dream so real.

He Wenliu just woke up from a nightmare. He couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality. He got out of bed, stepped on the marble floor barefoot, didn't even look for a coat, and rushed out of the bedroom wearing only a single shirt.

He Wenliu ran into the yard, still covering his chest with his hands, he was covered in cold sweat, panting heavily, trying to calm himself down, he kept telling himself that it was just a dream, it wasn't real, Li Mujing didn't die, He didn't die either.

The eunuch watching the night saw He Wenliu standing thinly in the yard, and hurried forward to ask: "Miss Wenfei, what's wrong with you? It's cold outside, why don't you go back to your room to rest?"

He Wenliu shook his head and didn't speak. He couldn't sleep now and didn't dare to sleep. He was afraid that after falling asleep he would have such a nightmare again, that nightmare where he had nothing.

Seeing that He Wenliu was unwilling to go back to the house, the night eunuch quickly found a thicker shawl to put on He Wenliu, and then obediently stood together with He Wenliu.

He Wenliu was already covered in cold sweat, and stood barefoot in the yard in the middle of the night blowing the air-conditioning. It was difficult to think that he would not get sick. He Wenliu just stood like this all night, and he was exhausted and passed out in the early morning.

He Wenliu was ill, and he didn't want Li Mujing to know, so he specially instructed the inner eunuch and the imperial doctor not to tell Li Mujing, but at noon Li Mujing got the news from nowhere and still came to Qingluan Hall to see him.

Seeing He Wenliu open his mouth, Li Mujing asked, "What happened to you last night? You ran out of the room in the middle of the night?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a nightmare." He Wenliu replied softly.

Li Mujing smiled after hearing the words: "What kind of nightmare did you have?"

What nightmare did you have?How should He Wenliu answer?He dreamed that Li Mujing isolated his second brother He Wenwu and killed his elder brother He Wenyan, and their daughter Dan'er also died because of his gift of marriage. He also dreamed that someone would drive Li Mujing from the throne. Mu Jing died in front of his eyes, but can these be said?He Wenliu could only say: "I... I forgot."

Li Mujing sat with He Wenliu for a while, then got up to leave, but suddenly He Wenliu grabbed Li Mujing's clothes: "Your Majesty..."

"What's wrong?" Li Mujing's tone was full of indulgence.

What's wrong?In fact, He Wenliu is nothing serious, the nightmare last night made him feel a little lingering, Li Mujing's indifference, Li Mujing's cruelty, and Li Mujing's death, He Wenliu really wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, he held back After a while, she blushed and said, "You...can you lie down with me for a while?"

"Okay." Li Mujing thought it was He Wenliu who was acting like a baby to him while he was sick.

Li Mujing took off his boots and lay side by side with He Wenliu on the bed. I don't know if he was a little tired before. Li Mujing fell asleep soon. He Wenliu got up and looked at Li Mujing's sleeping face. It's good that he is still alive. .He Wenliu bowed his head and kissed Li Mujing's lips lightly.Then you rubbed against Li Mujing's arms, found a comfortable position, closed your eyes, and said silently in your heart: "No matter what you have done, no matter whether that dream is true or not, I love you, always .”
