Time is like a rubber band with excellent elasticity. When you are in this period of time, you feel that the rubber band is infinitely stretched, and time flows slowly. When you look back through this period of time, the rubber band is suddenly released. Open, retracted with a snap, and felt that the time passed extremely quickly.

In this strange metaphor, ten years passed.

Chu Xi is eighteen years old this year, which is the age when he is full of vigor and ambition.Two years ago, Shen Fengyue personally helped him choose a royal empress with the best family and character, a young couple, they were a little shy with each other when they first got married, but after two years of running-in, they got better.

He has grown up and is not as clingy to him as he was when he was a child. On the one hand, Shen Fengyue is a little proud of his growth, and on the other hand, she is a little lonely as an old mother who sees her child and her drifting away.At this time, Shen Pitang would suddenly jump out and try his best to tease him, diverting his attention instantly.

Speaking of Shen An Bang, he has already severed contact with the Yan Kingdom in the past ten years, and Shen An Bang has also assisted and taught Chu Xi the emperor's mind and the way of the emperor. It's firmly in my hands.

When Shen An Bang got the news, he came to tell him as soon as possible.At that time, he smiled and said to him, His Majesty has grown up and is very different from when he was a child.He is also slowly handing over power and manpower to His Majesty. He said that after a while, he resigned and the Empress Dowager feigned death.

For his suggestion, Shen Fengyue was very moved.Now that he has decided to grow old with Shen An Bang and finish his mission by killing him, wouldn't it be better to live a comfortable life like this?He was already tired of the rich clothes and food of the palace, the splendor and wealth.

So the two hit it off and prepared secretly.

Unexpectedly, God's will tricks people, and a big change happened.

It was a rainy night, and the rain was a bit heavy. When Shen Fengyue went to close the window, she heard the patter of the rain heavily hitting the window lattice.He closed the window and was about to go to bed when he heard a noise coming from outside.

"Who are you?!"

"This is Shoukang Palace, how dare you trespass!"

"The Empress Dowager is about to rest, what are you doing?!"

Hongmei Luoxue's scolding came from outside, and it sounded like an uninvited visitor forced his way into Shoukang Palace.

"Hongmei, what's the matter?" He put on his coat and asked loudly towards the outside.

There was a rustling sound of armor rubbing from far to near, they walked neatly, and they turned into one. Listening to the movement, there are many people coming.

They went to the door and broke open it violently. Shen Fengyue saw ten soldiers in black armor with knives rushing in.Then came Hongmei Luoxue who rushed over from behind. They stood between Shen Fengyue and the black armors, protecting Shen Fengyue with an absolute posture.

Shen Fengyue narrowed her eyes, and asked sharply: "This is the Shoukang Palace, the residence of the Empress Dowager of Chu, and you and other men wielding knives and swords, how dare you trespass into the Shoukang Palace?" This simple question is overwhelming. , Shen Fengyue has been the empress dowager for more than ten years, and she already knew how to show the imperial power.

Those few people were overwhelmed by his aura, and their attitudes immediately became humble.It seemed that someone in command among them stood up, bowed to Shen Fengyue and said, "Forgive me, Empress Dowager, I am here by order of Your Majesty to invite you to the Supreme Study."

In the middle of the night, it must not be a good thing for Chu Xi to ask him to go to the study.

The right eyelid twitched suddenly, Shen Fengyue raised her hand to hold it down, and asked, "What if the Ai family doesn't want it?"

The commanding officer glanced at him quickly, and pulled out half of the sword at his waist: "Please don't make things difficult for me, Empress Dowager. If the empress insists on doing this, I will only be offended."

There are many enemies and we are few, one against ten can't get along well, and these ten people seem to be very good at martial arts, I am afraid it will be difficult for the upper body to solve them all at once.

Thinking of this, Shen Fengyue nodded in agreement.Before leaving, he asked to dress neatly. He was the queen mother, and those people dared not violate this requirement.So Shen Fengyue, who was tidied up, followed those black armors. Hongmei Luoxue wanted to follow, but was stopped by two black armors, saying that His Majesty only wanted the Queen Mother, and the rest could not wait.

It was still raining heavily outside, and someone held up a butter paper umbrella for him to protect him from the rain.But the rain was really heavy, and the long skirt corners in the action room were already wet by the splashing rain.

Shen Fengyue glanced at the sky, the sky was pitch black, with no light to be seen, the only light was the flashing purple lightning.Cut through the dark night with a powerful gesture, the short-lived epiphyllum that is missing, the light returns to darkness after the light passes.

Then there was a deafening thunder, one thunder caused successive thunder, and the thunder sounded into one piece, exploding in the ears.

Ominous premonition...

Shen Fengyue followed them to the study.

The distance to the Shoukang Palace and the upper study room is actually not that long, but Shen Fengyue’s mood was extremely heavy due to the inexplicable situation, as if his heart had been grabbed by someone, he unconsciously quickened his pace, letting the muddy water wet his shoes and socks, Dirty skirt tails.

Finally, the study room arrived.

A sufficient number of candles were lit in the upper study, and it looked bright from the outside.Shen Fengyue pushed away those people first, ran out from under the umbrella, and rushed into the room in the rain.

There were already people waiting for him in the room, and the first thing that came into view was Shen An Bang who was kneeling on the ground under the pressure of two people.

When Shen An Bang saw him, his eyes lit up: "The Empress Dowager."

Seeing this situation, Shen Fengyue was taken aback, before she could respond to him, she raised her eyes to look at the seat.

Chu Xi was wearing a solemn court dress with gold patterns on a black background, and a twelve-pronged crown on his head.The long jade string hangs down, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.From the beginning to the end, he sat upright on the dragon chair, motionless.

"What are you doing? Let him go to Aijia." Shen Fengyue ordered the two people.

There were not many people in the room, and the atmosphere was quiet, so his voice was especially loud, and there was no reason why he couldn't hear him, but the two of them still remained motionless.

These two people are afraid that they only obey the emperor, so Shen Fengyue turned her eyes to Chu Xi: "Emperor?"

"Let him go." The emperor issued an order, and the two obeyed and released Shen An Bang.

Shen An Bang didn't dare to get up after being let go, and still knelt on the ground.

Shen Fengyue stood beside him and asked, "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Hearing this, the person on the dragon chair finally moved. His head moved slightly, and the beads on his head shook slightly, making a crisp sound when they collided.

He chuckled first, as if amused.

"I have observed carefully. Ever since my mother entered the house, the first thing she saw was Lord Shen." He put his hands on his thighs, patted his right hand unconsciously slowly and regularly, and then said, "Look The one who got the most is also Lord Shen."

"I want to know, Queen Mother and Lord Shen..." He paused and leaned forward.

"What's the relationship?"

Shen Fengyue retorted subconsciously: "The Ai family has nothing to do with Lord Shen. One is the Empress Dowager and the other is Lord Hou. How did the emperor bring the two of us together. Besides..." Before he finished speaking, It was cut off by Chu Xie.

"I'm afraid the empress has forgotten that I am the emperor and the lord of the world, what can be hidden from me? You are fooling me like a three-year-old child, but I don't agree with it."

When Shen Fengyue wanted to say something, Shen An Bang secretly pulled the hem of her clothes behind her back, and then she stopped talking.

The emperor has been observing them, and this scene is naturally panoramic.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Rong Chen to say something. The relationship between the minister and the empress dowager is pure and clear, but it is because the late emperor was around, and the empress dowager became acquainted with each other." He lowered his eyes and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Chu Xi let out a chuckle, which was extremely mocking.He took out an object from his sleeve, a white stone with red silk thread on it.

"This thing has been kept here for ten years, it's time to return it to its original owner."

The stone was thrown from the seat and just hit Shen An Bang in front of him, and rolled a few times on the ground, and when it stopped, the side where the lettering happened to be inscribed was facing up.

This object looks familiar, it is the old moon stone that Shen Fengyue lost ten years ago.

Shen An Bang didn't dare to pick it up, and still maintained the original movement.

"Master Hou, why don't you pick it up and have a look? This stone is a pair with yours." Chu Xi first looked at him, then turned his gaze to Shen Fengyue, "Your stone is engraved with ' Yan', the empress dowager's piece is engraved with 'Shen', you have spent a lot of thought."

"Shen Yan, do you want to get married with two surnames?" He questioned aloud, suddenly picked up an inkstone on the table, and threw it in the direction of Shen An Bang.

Shen An Bang was aware of it, but he didn't avoid it, just stood there in a daze.Shen Fengyue's reaction was extremely quick, when the inkstone was smashed over, he subconsciously bent his arms to block it for Shen An Bang.

The inkstone hit his arm firmly, leaving a bright ink mark on his clothes, and then bounced to the ground under force.

Blocking the inkstone with bare hands, the impact is not small, and after blocking the inkstone, there is a dull pain in the forearm.

His actions really angered Chu Xi, he stood up abruptly from his seat, and clapped his hands on the desk vigorously: "Mother, how can you be worthy of the late emperor like this?!"

When mentioning Emperor Chu, Shen Fengyue couldn't find anything to say for a while.

His silence was taken as tacit consent by Chu Xi: "You are the empress dowager of Dachu, with a valuable status, but you have done such things that are ashamed of your ancestors. As a son, I am also heartbroken. The face of the Tian family cannot be tarnished. On the ground, if you don’t follow the rules, you can’t make a circle, and there is only one way to deal with it at this time.”

Shen Fengyue suddenly raised her head, looked at his mouth opening and closing, suddenly a past event appeared in her mind.

At that time, he was still the imperial concubine, and Chu Xi came to show him the article he had written after finishing school one day.

The voices of their questions and answers echoed in my ears.

He asked Chu Xi: "If there is something hidden, can we show mercy outside the law? Is the law merciful?"

"According to my son, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square. If everyone follows the situation, how can the law be implemented? Where is the authority of the law?"

The child replied in a childish voice.

It turned out that everything was doomed long ago, and the clues appeared from the very beginning...

The boy's voice was replaced by the grown-up youth's voice. He said: "There can only be one between the Queen Mother and the Marquis, with the majesty of the Quantian family. And this choice, I hand it over to Marquis Shen."

Chu Xi was confident in the choice he made for them. If Shen An Bang had the right to choose, he would definitely choose to keep the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, the next moment, the man raised his head and said to him: "Thank you for your kindness, I wish to protect the Empress Dowager."

The emperor was able to make such a move, presumably his troops had already been wiped out.

"What are you doing, Shen An Bang?!" Hearing this, Shen Fengyue immediately threw herself on him.

"What are you still doing in a daze, help the empress dowager away!"

Chu Xi gave the order, and immediately someone came forward to separate Shen Fengyue and Shen An Bang.Shen Fengyue struggled to resist, but was firmly held down by several people, dragged to the side inextricably. In the confusion, Shen An Bang picked up the old moon stone on the ground and the one hanging around his waist, and stuffed them into it together. into Shen Fengyue's arms.

Shen Fengyue was pushed to the corner of the wall.

"Let go of Aijia! Aijia is the queen mother, so why don't you listen to Aijia's words?!"

Chu Xi stepped down from his seat, and a palace of people came in from outside the hall, holding a horizontal board in their hands, on which white silk and poisoned wine were displayed. Chu Xi made a gesture of invitation, signaling Shen An Bang to choose.

He chose poisoned wine, thinking that death would be better and would not scare the empress dowager.

After taking the poisoned wine, he turned around suddenly, facing Shen Fengyue who was still struggling not far away.

Shen Fengyue struggled fiercely, her temple hair was already disheveled, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she looked very embarrassed.

"The Empress Dowager, don't struggle anymore. It's exhausting and useless. I feel sorry for you."

Hearing what he said, Shen Fengyue really stopped struggling, and stared at him blankly, tears had already flowed out and wet the skirt of his clothes, but he didn't realize it.

"I wish my mother all the blessings and golden safety. From now on, I will live forever and be happy for the rest of my life. For this reason, the death of my minister is also a pity." Shen An Bang said.

He said exactly the same words as when he presented the gift back then. At that time, he said it with a smile, and he said a congratulatory speech, full of blessings to him.Now he said it with a smile, the corners of his lips curled up, his eyebrows curved, his smile couldn't be prettier, but Shen Fengyue only felt a piercing chill, and a great sadness welled up in his heart, which lasted for a long time.

Chu Xi was not interested in watching them continue to be reluctant to leave, and ordered them to be taken away, and he followed suit, wanting to see with his own eyes.

Both the emperor and the empress dowager had special personnel holding umbrellas, but Shen An Bang was drenched in the rain. In the rain, he only left Shen Fengyue with a back.

Chu Xi ordered someone to take him to an abandoned palace. The guards guarded him and entered the house. The moment he entered the room, he suddenly rushed to Chu Xi and said: "I still have one wish, and please lock the door. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will The empress is sad to see it."

Chu is right.

So he turned around and was about to close the door. At this time, Shen Fengyue did not know where the strength came from, but he really broke free from the person who restrained him, and rushed towards the room.

"Shen An Bang!——" he yelled, and rushed straight to that place, and the rain immediately hit him like a blanket, he ran too fast, fell down, and watched the door close in front of his own eyes .

"No!!!!--"

A door is closed, only the last side of the lover can be seen, and then blocked by the closed door.

The palace man wanted to go forward and lock the door, so he immediately got up from the ground and stopped the man.

"Don't, don't, don't lock, don't lock, please, please, he's still inside, how can he be locked?! He's still inside, please..." He kept saying Don't, beg, beg others not to lock the door.

"Change me, let me die, let him live, let him live! He did nothing wrong, I seduced him, I seduced him, all mistakes are my fault, let me Is it okay to die instead of him?"

"Empress Dowager, please don't make things difficult for your slaves."

With a click, the door locked.

Shen Fengyue wailed in pain, with tears streaming down her face, knocking on the door frantically while crying, the door vibrated, and the lock hanging on it hit the door and made a knocking sound.

"Shen An Bang, don't drink it, don't drink it. You can't die. I have a way, I have a way to mourn my family, and there are many ways to mourn my family." He knocked on the door frantically, crying Falling down like desperate, "I asked the system to help us, as long as you don't drink, as long as you don't die, it will definitely protect us."

"Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang..." He kept calling his name, as if grasping at the last straw, "System, You will help me, right, you will."

The system was about to speak, but heard a prompt tone:

[Ding dong, the bug has been cleared. 】

"I beg..." The unfinished words were stuck for a moment, and the movement of knocking on the door stopped, Shen Fengyue opened her eyes wide in disbelief, letting the tears flow down.

bug, cleared?

Mission completed?

What about Shen An Bang, what about Shen An Bang?He began to slap on the brown door frantically again: "Shen An Bang, come out, squeak, to teach me that you are alive! Speak, you are not dead, right?!"

The system couldn't bear him like this, and said, "Old Shen, everything is over..."

"Shen An Bang...he is dead." It struggled to utter the second half of the sentence.

Shen Fengyue didn't believe all of this, she was still knocking on the door in vain, calling Shen An Bang's name.

He was separated from him by a brown gate that blocked everything.

"Husband, husband, husband...my husband..." Shen Fengyue only called Shen An Bang this title twice, one time when they got married, and the last time was when Shen An Bang died.

Memories like walking around flowers and flowers popped up in his mind in vain, and they slipped away in a hurry, some when he smiled and called the queen mother, some when he opened the window and entered the room, and some when he blinked his eyes, his mind was full of memories. They all look like Shen An Bang.

Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang...

And he said simple and direct love words over and over again:

"Empress Dowager, I am pleased with you."

He said, there is no separation between life and death, only death. He never thought it would be a prophecy.

Shen Fengyue was crying, feeling sad, but at this moment, an arrow shot from behind and pierced his heart.

He looked down at the arrow piercing through his heart. The arrow was stained with bright red blood. He didn't have time to turn around to see who it was, and only put his last strength in front of his eyes. lovers leaning together.

This door is really tight, no matter how hard you knock, you can't open it...

His consciousness was chaotic, his eyes closed, and he died.

Even death cannot separate us.

[Ding dong, the mission is completed, the auxiliary program is completed, and we are leaving the world. 】

Chu Xi lowered his bow with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face.This bow is vermilion in color, with patterns made of gold thread, and it's called Sankaikuang.

"Queen Mother, I'm sorry." He murmured, throwing the bow on the ground, "Move the Queen Mother away, and open the door."

The palace man obeyed and carried away the empress dowager's body. Two white stones fell out of his arms, and no one cared about it.

Click, the door lock is opened.The moment the door was opened, a corpse fell face to face. Presumably that person had been sitting against the door.

"You all know how to do it." Seeing that Shen An Bang was indeed dead, he ordered, "You all know how to do it."

All those who knew the truth could not live, this was a secret of the Tian family, so after he gave the order, these people bit the poison bag one after another, the poison entered their mouths, and they all died within three seconds.

Chu Xi turned and left, and the palace servants fell down one by one behind him.

The face of the royal family cannot be trampled on, and the law cannot be merciless. This is the way of the emperor and the mind of the emperor, and this is what you taught me, Shen An Bang.

So, I'm sorry, Queen Mother, Lord Shen, your shameful scandal is destined not to exist in the world.

The two Moonstones are face up facing each other, and the bright red cinnabar has been washed by the rain, leaving only a vague outline. After careful identification, you can still recognize the inscription on it.

——"Shen" and "Swallow".

Chu Xi walked towards the upper study room, and he remembered the words written on Shen An Bang's Kongming lantern that he cut off that year - "May your mother be safe."

Shen An Bang's wish in this life is nothing more than the Queen Mother's Chang'an.

Chu Xi shook his head and couldn't help but laugh. That person really has deep affection, but it's all shady things.

He killed his mother, his... teacher.

Back in the upper study room, when he was sitting on the dragon chair, a tear suddenly flowed from his right eye, but his left eye remained unchanged, and he raised his hand to gently wipe it away.

The left eye is the emperor, and the right eye is the son and disciple.

The king sat high on the dragon chair, his face was hidden in the darkness and his expression could not be seen clearly.
