The Three Thousand Harem of the Fake Empress

In winter, the sky fades to clear green, and the gray and white curtain covers the bare land. Even though the red maples in the back mountains of the suburbs of Beijing have not been completely shed, they are all torn and scratched by the hunting wind, hanging on the branches, lifeless.

The sun was setting, the frost was rising, the jackdaws were singing, all civil and military officials stood outside the Hall of Huanxi, headed by the prime minister, and they came together in a mighty way. drive.

The Empress has not been out of the palace for a day. In their view, the little concubines are not worthy of the Empress taking the huge risk of contagion to sleep in the same bed. Compared with Jiangshan, the latter is just a feather, but such a feather is colorful , it is more rare.

Hearing that all the officials were invited to drive by Maoshuang, Concubine Chen led the people to come quickly.

When people came to the front of the hall, the courtiers and the imperial concubine looked at each other through the corridor. The former knelt down to greet them, and deliberately greeted them loudly, as if to spread the voice of dissatisfaction to the ears of someone in the hall.

Concubine Chen has always treated veterans kindly, especially Xu Hui, the elder of the two dynasties.

This time, she did not go up to help the kneeling worshiper up, but condescendingly asked, "Mr. , pick up the prime minister and send him back to the front hall."

"No need!" Xu Hui straightened his back, spoke forcefully, clasped his fists and said: "It's no big deal for the old minister to suffer from a bit of wind and cold. A withered bone can be taken away by Lord Yan if he wants to, but His Majesty's body cannot be lost. I implore the concubine Chen to please drive me Your Majesty, let the imperial physician take care of you here."

Concubine Chen didn't want to bring up the topic at all. She knew that Xu Hui was tough, so she could only find another way to persuade him to leave, so she took the initiative to trouble him. Now that the end of the new year is approaching, various investigations are concluded, and the affairs are heavy, instead of waiting here, it is better to go back and share the worries for His Majesty, this is considered loyalty."

"If you worry about other things, if you make a mistake in official business, the impact will be more than a little, and you will be criticized by others. The emperor is not here, and the subordinates will open their eyes to fool you. At that time, the punishment will be small, and the reputation will be great."

After Xu Hui and the others finished speaking, they went straight to the imperial concubine in the corridor in front of them, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The regent temporarily takes charge of the government, everything is in order, and there is nothing wrong with it, and His Highness Jiuyou is strict with himself and acts resolutely. Dare to be perfunctory, let everyone perform their own duties, not to mention, it is even more responsible.

Concubine Chen doesn't believe me and other foreign ministers, His Highness Jiuyou can prove one thing or two, if the old minister's words are false, he should receive a hundred sticks! "Since your highness is on the way to the suburbs of Beijing, I would like to wait quietly." "

Naturally, Concubine Chen would not confront Qiao Jiuyou, she had no other choice, "Your Majesty will come out in a short time, so what's the point, wait for this kind of force, can't you be coerced?"

"Your Majesty stays up all night inside. As a courtier, I can't bear it. I can't share my worries. I can only guard outside. I won't leave for a moment. I will not leave for a moment. I will definitely guard until Your Majesty comes out of the smoky place and returns to clarity and purity." .”

"You!" Concubine Chen turned annoyed, her chest heaved, she frowned and said coldly, "Your Majesty is a dragon son, why be afraid of this little threat, you will definitely retreat with all your body."

"Concubine Chen can guarantee that everything will be safe and not stained?

Even if you don't get half of it, if you get tired of being with a weak person for a long time, the luck of the dragon's body will be damaged, and it will affect me, Yuqiong. "The prime minister paused for a moment, and then boldly asked: "In the eyes of the concubine Chen, Yuqiong is not as good as a woman in Thailand?" ! "

"Nonsense! I can't tell which is more important than what is more important." Concubine Chen was in a hurry, she was speechless, she couldn't say anything about the giant pillar of the country in front of her eyes.

As the emperor's woman, she felt the same way. If she was dying of illness, she naturally wanted her beloved to accompany her to the last stage.

As an emperor and concubine, everything should be state affairs.

It's a dilemma.

Concubine Chen took a small step back and waved her sleeves impressively, "You are waiting here, I will naturally invite His Majesty to come out..."

Xu Hui then led a group of people to bow together, "Thank you, Concubine Chen."

A lot of charcoal fires were burned in the Hall of Huanxi, and it was as warm as spring. Feng Yan stood not far from the sick bed, watching the empress wash the handkerchiefs in front of the shelf, and said softly: "Your Majesty should go out... to have dinner."

Qin Yan glanced at the person, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not hungry, not at all. When I'm hungry, I'll announce my servant."

"Not hungry, at least eat a little." Feng Yan stretched out his hand, and said softly: "Change your ministers and concubines."

"No, I'll do it myself." Qin Yan clenched the veil tightly, rubbed it again and again, and resolutely refused: "I'm not a three-year-old child, I understand very well whether I'm tired or not."

When the words fell, Feng Yan was a little annoyed. She was persecuted by the courtiers outside, and she lost face. The empress tried to persuade her with good intentions, but she was ridiculed. Huo, couldn't help but said: "What is the difference between you and a child in this way, disregarding your own safety, and acting willfully."

"Willful?" Qin Yan sneered, clutching the handkerchief, and asked: "Washing the handkerchief for Ah Xi, is it just nonsense, so that the world doesn't care?"

"Why not!" Feng Yan shifted his gaze to the withered cheek not far away, hesitated for a while, but finally didn't say anything hurtful.

"I heard what you said." Qin Yan walked back to the couch, changed the veil on Ah Xi's forehead, turned around and walked back, and said to humanity: "Everyone's position is right for me, Xu Hui He saw me, not me, he saw the world, and he didn't want Yuqiong to be in turmoil again. Feng Yan, you saw me, and it wasn't me, you saw the emperor. So, find an excuse and persuade me to leave this place. A place of 'smoke'."

Being said, Feng Yan was a bit calmer, "Since this is the case, the country is stable and everyone's expectations are not enough for His Majesty to step out of this place?"

"Not enough," Qin Yan vetoed cleanly, "When you see me, it's not me... The real me is an ordinary person."

"laity?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, I feel guilty, distressed, and regretful... I clearly promised to take good care of her." Before she finished speaking, Qin Yan turned around, not wanting others to see her eyes full of sparkle, and her body and mind were intense. Under the turmoil, I couldn't help but choked up: "Now, I regret it!"

"Ordinary man." Feng Yan raised his demure face, and smiled wryly, "There is no place where the rights of an emperor, given by birth, can be privately owned by others...

Blood and bones belong to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and flesh and blood spirits belong to all over the world. Your Majesty is not qualified to say these two words. "

Qin Yan couldn't bear the pain in her heart, touched her conscience, and roared, "That's Qiao Yulan, not me!"

For a moment, Feng Yan froze, stunned by the sudden anger, she really couldn't think of why the empress said such words?

Seeing people confused, Qin Yan took a step back and waved her hands with tears in her eyes, "Forget it, you don't understand... I don't understand either. It's obviously a game, so why do I take it for real? Life and death are nothingness, why am I so persistent? wind?

Obviously Ah Xi belongs to Qiao Yulan, why do I feel uncomfortable, as if a dying person is my true love?Chaos, chaos, chaos! "

Feng Yan saw the empress' madness in her eyes, and a sense of strangeness that she had never had before rose from the bottom of her heart. She dared to conclude that this was not her childhood sweetheart, not her beloved.Vulnerable and powerless, hesitant and depressed.

What's even more frightening is...the other party is trapped by love.

"The concubine doesn't know His Majesty anymore." Feng Yan clenched his trembling hands into fists, feeling sad and puzzled, these words slapped the past years of mutual connection, and rejected the mutual understanding, it was a feeling of despair Even a lady from a famous family couldn't help but shed tears.

After a while, Feng Yan remembered his identity and responsibility, regained his proper tone and attitude, and said sternly: "I dare to ask, how long will your Majesty's decadent appearance last?"

"I don't know how long it will take." Qin Yan walked back on the couch weakly, took Axi's hand, covered her face, and said expressionlessly: "At this moment, I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. Do it, just want to be with Axi.

For some reason, my intuition tells me that this time, I will be separated from her by thousands of years. "

Feng Yan closed her phoenix eyes, feeling the loss and disappointment firsthand, and muttered to herself in the dark: "Who is it that took away the empress who swayed thousands of miles? Who is it that exchanged for a useless love?!"

Qin Yan shed tears, sucked her sore nose, lowered her eyes and muttered, "Feng Yan, give up on me...you, those courtiers and Qiao Jiuyou, she is Yuqiong's real hope."

"And I, from beginning to end, was a waste, a lustful waste."

"It's a good one to give up," Feng Yan could hardly stand firm, and Zhu Cui's clang clashed with fierce indignation and a little heartache. The love in the past was no match for the differences of opinions, the love for the horns of the overall situation, and he broke out in disappointment, "Childish and narrow, short-sighted Narrow and small, more and more stupid, how can it be famous in history."

Qin Yan didn't want to refute, she was a counterfeit, and she didn't feel ashamed to tarnish Qiao Yulan's reputation, but she suffered a lot of crimes, injuries, poisoning, which one was minor, which one didn't hurt her flesh superior.

In short, after the February [-] sacrifice ceremony, get out and leave, and completely cut off from all these disturbances.

She said: "It's good to understand, you step back first, Axi is still in a coma, and when you wake up, it's unbearable pain."

The eviction order was issued, and some people left no pride and face to persuade the empress. The phoenix robe swept across the cold ground, inch by inch, and left the living grave.

A pair of round eyes struggled to open, looked at the empress in front of her with fragile and fragile eyes, opened her tattered mouth, and said intermittently: "Chenqie, I heard that there is a lot of noise outside... Your Majesty seems to be... friendly... Arguing? What happened?"

Qin Yan didn't answer in a hurry. She took a soft pillow, raised Ah Xi up, tucked in the corners of the quilt, took a bowl of ginseng soup, and carefully fed it with a jade spoon. Be the emperor in their hearts, don't worry, I won't go back to do meaningless things, you have been sick, I will always be with you."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." My viscera were filled with emotions. Although his body was in pain, Axi wanted to die countless times. Hearing this sentence, he felt unprecedented tenacity and courage out of thin air.

A spoonful of ginseng soup entered the mouth, the jade bowl was pushed aside, Axi frowned, and opened his mouth empty.

Qin Yan saw it.

She saw that Ah Xi's mouth was eroded and festered, black blood was sticky, and there was no good skin at all.

"The concubine... I have no appetite, I can't drink..." Axi closed her eyes halfway, pressed her face to the pillow, bit her lip, and kept groaning.

"Take another sip, and you will have strength after you drink it," Qin Yan endured howling, and passed the spoon forward again. When there is no cure for medicine and stones, only this thing can continue life for a short time. For Axi, it was all suffering, no matter if he was awake or half-conscious.

Bean-sized sweat oozes pale and withered flesh, and his voice is so weak that it is almost inaudible, "I can't hang for long, my concubine... I know that I can't live for three days, and my majesty's thoughts are in vain."

Unable to hold the bowl and spoon with both hands, Qin Yan put down the things and fell into the abyss of helplessness.

Axi carefully sniffed the unpleasant smell around her, hating the filth and stench when she was dying, she tried her best to shrink her body, and said in pain: "Your Majesty, stay away, the smell has hit you, Axi is really ashamed."

"What stupid things?" At this moment, Qin Yan recalled the scene not long ago, and regained her composure. She leaned down and pecked his lips, brushed away the messy hair on Axi's forehead, and said with emotion: "My concubine, I'm going to take you somewhere."

"What... what?"

Qin Yan found her cloak, lifted Ah Xi's quilt, covered it up, put one hand around his waist, and passed the other hand through his knees, with a light effort, she hugged him up, and then she was in a daze for a moment. I have never hugged Ah Xi before, but now the weight on the elbow is frighteningly light, and I can feel it carefully, except for the bones, there is no flesh.

Axi stared at the person in a daze, and the glittering things above her eyes dazzled. Amidst her distress, she managed to squeeze out a smile and comforted her: "How can the emperor cry, isn't it a joke?"

The more comforted she was, the tears couldn't stop, Qin Yan didn't have a hand to wipe, she buried her tears into Ah Xi's collar, listened to the slow heartbeat, and cried like a child: "I don't care Other people's, I only care about yours."

Ah Xi felt that if he died at this moment, he would not regret it!

Shaoqing and Qin Yan came out of the hall dignifiedly with a teary dimple in her arms, tightly hugging Ah Xi.

Xu Hui and a group of courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the Empress was going to do.

Just listening, a sonorous speech from the heart filled Xiaoxiao boundlessly.

"Show Yuqing Pool, I want to bathe with Concubine Xi in clean clothes!"

"You must not!" The courtiers knelt down one after another, and Xu Hui took the lead, sternly reassuring: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, please think twice!"

Qin Yan smiled, looked up at the crisp wind chimes in the corridor, and sighed: "I know what you're saying behind, but it's Concubine Xi's body is bleeding pus, and the poisonous blood is wanton. Bathing with her will harm me."

"Your Majesty, since you know it, why should you risk such disrespect!"

"No shame," Qin Yan looked at the weather-beaten old man, holding the tone that an emperor should have, and said slowly: "I am an emperor, and an emperor can do whatever he wants. If you can't live to your heart's content, is it any different from death?"

"Zhen, I will tell you today that from now on, I will only be myself. The emperor you want died as early as the day when the general wiped out Daliang and returned in triumph."

"Your Majesty, you can't believe it!"

"If you don't believe me, I don't have time to waste words with you." Qin Yan gently lowered her head, and said to the weak man in her arms: "Go, just go and take a bath."

"Your Majesty---" Xu Hui knelt forward, eyes red with anger, and said angrily, "If you go, you will step on the old minister's bones."

Qin Yan raised her head and looked coldly, "What are you doing, Prime Minister? You can't do that."

"I have nothing else to say, use this withered body to show my ambition!"

"You don't have a beloved, don't you understand the pain?" Qin Yan walked down the corridor with someone in her arms, walked up to Xu Hui, and continued to ask: "If you don't have a beloved, you can replace it with a wife and children. I feel it?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and everyone else is a decoration, it is---"

"Shut up!" Uncharacteristically, Qin Yan yelled at people suddenly, her eyes were bloodshot, staring at the ruthless person, the court officials were terrified.

But... there are always some people, just like the prime minister, who are stubborn, stubborn, and unwilling to give in.

For such a person, Qin Yan couldn't think of an allusion.

Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, passed away suddenly. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken. Later, he was comforted by his servant to cherish his mourning. Emperor Ming was annoyed and hated him for not understanding his suffering.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan, the fake empress, used her birthright for the first time to take charge of life and death.

She said: "I have made up my mind, whoever dares to say one more word or force an inch, those who have sons will kill their sons, those who have no children will kill their daughters, those who have no children will kill their wives, mothers and fathers! All of them will be buried with Concubine Xi!" "

The words of thunder rebuked all directions.

It was only then that everyone realized that the Empress was powerful, and they fell on the ground and sobbed.

"Come here, help the Prime Minister and send him back to the mansion." Qin Yan said bluntly: "Others, get out!"

The servant hurried forward, dragged Xu Hui, and sent him out without saying a word.

Seeing this, the rest of the people, who would like to take the whole family to be buried with them, all left trembling after kneeling down.

……

Despite all the obstacles, there are no maids in Yuqing Pool, and Qin Yan does everything by herself.

The water temperature of the hot spring is just right, sprinkled with petal rose oil, surrounded by mist, like a fairyland.

Qin Yan took off Axi's clothes, and took off all her own clothes, hugging her, and carefully stepped into the hot spring pool.

The emperor and concubine hugged each other, perhaps because of the water vapor, the eyes of the two were always moist.

"Why... share the bath?" Axi couldn't help it.

After embracing for a long time, Qin Yan opened her mouth, "Remember that day in Cuju, you said that if I win, I will promise you one request - a mandarin duck bath. Unfortunately, my skills are not as good as others, and I lost to Murong Anran. Yours A small request fell through. Fortunately, it is now made up."

Axi rested his chin on the empress's shoulder weakly, sobbing intermittently, "If His Majesty is infected, Axi will really become Yuqiong's sinner, and death is not a pity."

Fuck the sinner, Qin Yan wanted to say this very much.

I traveled to this place, obviously to satisfy my lust, but I don’t know that I came to suffer. The past is vivid, and there are few satisfactory things. There is a gap with Murong Anran, and Ah Xi cuts his flesh and dies for himself , she couldn't accept such a cruel script.

If everything is a mirage, she will take it seriously, because what she holds in her arms is a flesh and blood body that will die from pain.

The love that surges in the sunken chest, the emotion that beats in the thin pulse, cannot be faked or faked.

"I am the Son of Heaven, so I am not afraid of this." Qin Yan patted the other party's back lightly, and said softly, "If you really get infected, it is a matter of destiny, just like me, I was destined to meet you, Axi."

"His Majesty……"

"Don't cry, a rare sweet time."

"Okay... the concubine will not cry..."

Soothed by one after another of gentle words, Axi looked away. If his lover is like this, it should be Changge who takes the lead and smiles at Huang Quan.

"Your Majesty, you always wore underwear before, but now, the concubine offends... I can see you clearly."

Qin Yan rubbed Ah Xi's black hair, deliberately smiled and said, "Does it look good?"

"Good... good looking." Ah Xi couldn't help knocking heavily, the dark blood came out of her throat and splashed in the spring water, like blooming red flowers, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, "It's more beautiful than the concubine's. It's porcelain white and delicate."

"It's also the first time for me to be looked down upon by others."

"That concubine took the lead... I'm really honored."

"It's my honor. In this world, there are people who treat me sincerely and don't spare their lives."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yan let go of her, put Ah Xi by the pool, picked up jade soap to wash her hair, her fingers sank into her black hair, and her movements were gentle and slow, she asked with a crooked face: "Concubine Xi, I am serving you well ?”

Axi no longer has the strength to stop the empress from acting out of line. She raised her face and panted heavily, "The emperor put aside his noble status and humbled himself to serve a beggar. If... the prime minister is here, he must... be so angry." Hop."

Qin Yan didn't care, she held Ah Xi's beautiful hair in the palm of her hand, took the jade teeth on the pool wall, and gently combed the hair from the root down, "From ancient times to the present, it is a sneaky and contemptible thing for a woman to be intimate with a woman." , someone opened the harem openly, and the courtiers were already horrified and resentful, if they saw it with their own eyes, they would be so angry that they vomited blood."

"Besides, this is a secret between the two of us. He is an old man, so he has nothing to envy."

The warm spring water soaked his battered body, and the pain eased a little. Axi replied with a smile from his daze: "Thank you."

Although the voice is small, it is captured by people.

Qin Yan said strangely, "I don't want to thank you, it's the most practical to give a few copper coins, and the imperial concubine will reward me later."

"Okay... okay... reward... reward you."

After the black hair was washed, someone began to wash Axi's body meticulously, rubbing it carefully, rubbing gently, up to the fingertips, down to the jade feet, inch by inch, diligently and seriously.

A Xiruan leaned against the warm wall of the pool, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is more attentive than the maid, and the hearts of my concubines have been melted..."

Qin Yan took the towel, went up three steps, sat down and wiped Axi's wet hair, and said relaxedly: "It's as long as the honored guest is satisfied, I'm very happy to receive this compliment."

His black hair was messed up, and Ah Xi, with his hair like a chicken coop, sneered, "Fortunately, the historian is not here, the prime minister is not here, and no one is here..."

"Yes, no one can bother us." Qin Yan wiped off Ah Xi, helped her up, quickly wrapped her in her robe, leaned against her chest, and said with a smile, "It's wrapped like a baby."

Ah Xi blinked, smiled and shouted: "Mom!"

Qin Yan couldn't help grinning, "Climb up as soon as you give me a pole, the imperial concubine has a thick skin~"

"No, I don't have a thick skin, how can a beggar climb up to the emperor~" Ah Xi's eyes were full, and her thoughts began to flow. Said: "Your Majesty, my concubine, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter, tell me." Qin Yan stopped her movements, held the other party's hand, nodded and said: "Just ask for it, I will do my best to fulfill it, the premise is not to ask for stars and moons~"

"What do you want to do with illusory things?" Axi stared at the empress affectionately, and slowly said, "In the dark, I vaguely saw the figure of my brother who has been dead for many years. Tonight may be the last night of this concubine's life. I don't want to waste time, I want to grasp what my heart desires." "On the last night, this concubine wants to have sex with His Majesty."

Qin Yan was taken aback for a moment, frowned, tears in her eyes, and carefully reminded, "But your body..."

"A dying person, what kind of body do you need?" Axi touched the empress's face, tears glistening in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, don't dislike your concubine, you want me..."

"No, I can't, I can't do it." Qin Yan flinched, her heart hurt like a tear, and begged: "You have become like this, I can't torture you."

"You can do it, you are my majesty and my lover." Axi encouraged softly, full of love: "Even if there are wild ghosts tearing at you and impermanence escorting you, my concubine is in the boundless darkness, carrying your majesty's love." Fragrant, braver than anyone else."

"I..." Qin Yan shook her head in pain. Axi wanted to wipe away the Empress's tears with her hand, but she had no extra strength. She gasped weakly, and in a daze, she saw a leafless, blood-red flower. .

She recognized it, it was called Manzhushahua.

Obviously, the time God gave himself is running out.

Axi lowered his hands, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Even if the flowers and leaves are wrong each other, and the world will never see each other, the concubine will bring the strong tenderness you gave me. Wangchuan."

"Your Majesty, you want me...Let the concubine, lonely but brave, set foot on the strange road of Huangquan."

"Axi," Qin Yan clenched her icy fingertips tightly and pressed them to her lips, kissing and kissing again, her heart was torn open, and salty, sweet, bitter and spicy came one after another.

Shaoqing, she understood Axi's long-cherished wish and also understood her own mission, so she smiled back with tears in her eyes, "My concubine, as you wish."

Huanai is the crimson color of a passionate collision. Some people are laughing and laughing inside, some are humming softly inside, and some are trembling inside.

Tonight, someone responded to a thousand-year unrequited love with ancient compassion.
