Spring dyed pear blossoms

After leaving the imperial study room, Meng Qiucheng felt that his body was as cold as ice like the snow scene outside.

The sunlight is not strong, looking up, it is slightly weak, only the white breath of the person is left.

At the gate of the palace, Liu Xi chased after him and shouted, "Lord Meng, wait a minute!"

Meng Qiucheng turned around, but accidentally saw a person with Liu Xi.

Liu Xi saluted Meng Qiucheng respectfully.

It's not easy to be able to serve the emperor by his side.Liu Xi has served two generations of emperors, and his deep love is not just based on lip service.

Watching words and expressions, when the time is right, he knows what to say and what to do, more than anyone else.

Now that he came, he was not with the emperor, but with the queen.Meng Qiucheng couldn't help but became suspicious.

The queen didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly, "Eunuch Liu, just wait aside! I have something to say, and I want to talk to Master Meng alone."

Liu Xi nodded and stepped aside.

Meng Qiucheng stepped forward to salute, "I bow to the empress!"

"Master Meng, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here today because I want to have a chat with Mr. Meng."

Meng Qiucheng looked at her, his brows were slightly tight, and he didn't quite understand what she meant. "What does the empress want to talk about with this minister?"

"Master Meng, there is no need to pretend in front of this palace. I am not the emperor, and I have no interest in Mr. Meng. It's just that Mr. Meng knows that in this huge palace, it is you and me who are standing here talking right now. How many pairs of eyes do you have?" Staring, how many people will be suspicious?

If the emperor didn't know the identity of Mr. Meng, I'm afraid that the conversation between you and me today will be taken advantage of by those who want to.He thinks Mr. Meng is unfaithful and this palace is unclean. "

Meng Qiucheng's eyes turned cold, "Since the queen knows about it, why does she still come to find Weichen?"

"Looking for you is for personal reasons. I still remember the fate of the former empress. There is no woman in the world who does not want to spend her life with the man she likes. And no woman is willing to share what she likes with other women." Man. I am a person in this world, so naturally I don't want to.

However, in the palace, it was already a last resort.Being in a high position, one must always keep in mind the responsibility and generosity that a queen should have.

After the former empress was abolished, I thought that some things should be stable.But now, the emperor is afraid of you, even if he sacrifices his palace, he wants to trap you. "

After the queen finished speaking, she took a deep breath and smiled suddenly, "This is the sadness of being a queen."

Knowing her reason for coming, Meng Qiucheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will never threaten your position."

The queen shook her head and smiled, "Do you think that the emperor asked you and the king of Liang to attack the northern Jiang barbarians for the purpose of secretly eliminating the King Fucheng party? General Deng is a guilty minister. As long as the emperor doesn't let go, once your identity is revealed If it is exposed, you are the daughter of a criminal minister. Adding in pretending to be a man and disturbing the imperial court, do you think you can really get away with it?

The emperor is just borrowing your hand, except for the biggest hidden danger around you.After that, huh, the emperor will still find a way to keep you in this palace.The emperor will not kill you, but as long as you don't die, the emperor will not let you go.Therefore, no matter whether King Fucheng is removed or not, you cannot escape the emperor's control.

From the day you entered the palace, from the moment the emperor showed mercy to you, you can no longer be yourself as you want.Just like the palace back then.But I have the emperor in my heart, but Mr. Meng probably has someone else in his heart.Reluctantly staying here is not a good thing for you, for the emperor, or for this palace. "

As she spoke, she glanced at Meng Qiucheng, "I am also a woman, and sometimes I am selfish. The things I said to Mr. Meng today are, of course, mostly because of selfishness. I know very well that only you have left Chang'an." , never set foot in the imperial city, the emperor will forget the fear of you. This palace can stay in the emperor's status for a long time. Otherwise, it will be hard for you and me."

"Weichen thanked the empress for being able to say these words frankly with me. Although it is easy to say this, it is not so simple to leave the word."

The queen smiled faintly, "Jane is not simple, but of course not."

Meng Qiucheng looked up at her, in terms of age, the queen was a few years older than her, and in terms of appearance, the queen was also very beautiful.In terms of resourcefulness, Meng Qiucheng felt for the first time that this woman must not be a stupid person to stay with the emperor for a long time.

Speaking of which, how many stupid people can there be in the palace?

When the former queen was still there, she was just a concubine.But the emperor favored him, and no one in this palace dared to offend her.She had very little acquaintance with this woman, so naturally she didn't know her very well.

After listening to her words now, Meng Qiucheng had a lot of speculations in his heart.In addition to protecting the status of the queen, there are a few truths and a few false ones.

After a while, she asked, "What does the empress mean, that she has already figured out a countermeasure for the humble minister?"

The queen took her hand out of the muff in front of her bosom, spread out her palm, and then the snowflakes began to fall again.The snowflakes fell into the palm and immediately turned into snow water, and the cold feeling was only a flash.

But the coldness in my heart is like a long-sealed ice cellar.

On the eaves of the high-rise buildings of the imperial palace, there are sometimes suns hanging from time to time.When the snowflakes fall, they are crystal clear in the sun.The queen walked forward slowly and walked to the palace gate.Outside is Chang'an Avenue, since she entered the palace, she never went out again.For her, freedom is a luxury.

Now she no longer desires freedom, but only wishes to be with her beloved and live her life peacefully.

She never denied her selfishness, but she was already a queen, so she couldn't be selfish anymore, and now she only had such a little selfish right to stay with her beloved.

Suddenly she sighed, "Unfortunate people always feel that they are the most unfortunate, but they have never seen people who are more unfortunate than them. Everyone who sees this palace is the favor and honor that this palace has received, but they don't know that this palace is in In this palace, the situation is frightening every step of the way. But now you still have a choice!

As long as you are willing to let go of your hatred, stay away from Chang'an with the person you like, and go to a place that no one knows, maybe your life will be happier.

What happened to General Deng shocked the government and the public, but General Deng was loyal and courageous, so even after his death, there will still be so many old ministries following him.

Have you thought about it, if the emperor refuses to fulfill his promise, what will happen to the family members of General Deng's old department? "

Meng Qiucheng's frowns slowly knit together, "Is the queen here to persuade the ministers to give up revenge?"

"Oh, if you understand like this, it's okay."

"Does the empress know how Weichen has lived these years? Back then, Weichen witnessed the beheading of his parents. After that, he was fortunate to be taught by his master and determined to avenge his father. Fourteen hundred innocent people were also killed together. The family members and descendants of those [-] innocent people, their life is even more miserable.

The minister's own strength is meager, and he is fortunate to have the support of these people.The years of suffering are beyond words.As the Queen said, people in the world can only see the glory of the minister today, but they don't know the hardships that the minister suffered in the past years.And these sufferings are accompanied by their ministers. "

Meng Qiucheng also sighed deeply, "The emperor's refusal to tell the people of the late emperor's mistakes is for the sake of Da Zhou and for himself. The emperor also said that he will chase after my father. After a long time, no one will replace him." My father's crimes back then. But those unwarranted crimes will still be accompanied by those loyal queens who shared weal and woe with my ministers.

If the subject surrenders, how can he be worthy of their support all these years? "

"Aren't you afraid of death? If you offend the emperor, let alone you, none of your subordinates can escape. If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about them?"

Meng Qiucheng smiled softly, "As far as their life and death are concerned, they have long been out of the way. They can't live in an upright manner, and they can't live up to their last breath. It is also a torture for future generations. The world will only say that they are traitors and thieves. Everyone despises them and makes things difficult everywhere. .

The queen will never know that some of the descendants of those innocent people were forced to serve as slaves at a very young age.He was even sold to the palace as a eunuch, and to the military camp as a military prostitute.Did the queen ever think about how they could survive like this? "

The queen was slightly taken aback, and after a long time, seeing no results in persuasion, she finally shook her head, "Master Meng is indeed a stubborn rock."

"I am not a stubborn rock. It is precisely because I am a person of flesh and blood that I am so persistent. Such persistence is not for my own sake. So even if I let my minister die, I must seek justice for them."

"Fairness? Heh, in this imperial city, the emperor is the only one who is fair. No matter, no matter, since this is the case, I will promise you that I will definitely persuade the emperor, how about returning General Deng and others to their innocence?"

Meng Qiucheng was a little surprised, "How can the empress convince the emperor?"

"My Palace naturally has my own way. Let the emperor not have to admit his mistakes, but also prove General Deng's innocence. But Mr. Meng has to agree to this Palace, and never return to Beijing in the future."

Meng Qiucheng hesitated and did not speak for a long time.

"Master Meng is worried that what Ben Gong said is a lie?"

"What the empress said naturally counts. It's just that I'm worried that the emperor will be suspicious. If I leave, the emperor will not make those loyal and good people who live and die with me feel better."

"I promise you that I will protect them. And the emperor is worried about you. As long as you leave, the emperor will not embarrass them. When the truth about General Deng's injustice is revealed, they will also be rewarded. Instead of working hard, you can't get it." A good result, this may be your best choice. But..." The queen paused, and then said, "But the so-called departure of the palace is not just to stay away from the capital. Only when you die, the emperor will Give up."

Meng Qiucheng stared at the queen, thinking about the meaning of her words, and after a while, he finally understood.

With the queen's promise, the conclusion in Meng Qiucheng's mind was finally settled.Although the person in front of her is a queen, she also has her own helplessness.Meng Qiucheng believed her not only because she was the queen, but also because of her situation.

She can confess her selfish heart at this moment, and she has acted rightly now that she has the selfish request.

Meng Qiucheng then nodded, cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "I understand, I know what to do! I thank the Queen for your kindness!"

Meng Qiucheng pretended to kneel down, but was stopped by the queen, "Your Majesty, you don't have to thank me, I have something to ask for. My lord, please go back early and make preparations! The emperor's imperial decree will be delivered in two days. Went to the house."

Meng Qiucheng answered yes clearly, and didn't say anything more, bowed his hands again, turned around and left the palace gate.

Waiting for Meng Qiucheng's figure to disappear in front of the palace gate, the queen turned around and said, "Come out!"

Wei Anrong walked out from behind the palace alley by the side door, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

The queen sized up the princess and asked doubtfully, "Why didn't the princess tell her herself?"

"She already regards me as an enemy, she won't listen to what I say."

"Is the princess ready?"

Wei Anrong raised his eyes to meet the empress's bright eyes, and chuckled, "What is the empress asking?"

The queen wanted to ask her, but she made up her mind and married Chi Rao Rongyi.But seeing her calm expression, I suddenly realized why she didn't want to talk to Meng Qiucheng personally.

It's hard to say something about feelings.

It seems that Wei Anrong already has a choice in his heart.

So he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and replaced them with a sentence, "It's nothing!"

Wei Anrong was relieved at this moment, some people, she was destined not to get.There are some loves that she is doomed to miss.But she still hoped that she would be fine.

Originally, the situation in the court was changeable, so it was not suitable for her.

Even though she tried her best to disguise herself as a full-fledged corrupt official, it was inevitable that her feet would be exposed after a long time.Furthermore, Fucheng Wang Yi removed all the attention of the emperor and will stay on Meng Qiucheng.At that time, Meng Qiucheng will become the next assistant king.

Although she didn't have the intention of becoming a king to fight for the world, she was inevitably troubled by the emperor's suspicion.

So, it's time for her to go.

Stay, if one day, she knows what's on her mind, I'm afraid that even the last bit of love between them will be exhausted.

Looking outside the empty palace gate, Wei Anrong slowly loosened his clenched fists.

"Queen, I will go to Xiliang in the future, and I hope the queen will take good care of the emperor."

"Taking care of the emperor is my job. I don't need the princess to remind me, I will do my best. It's just that the princess went to Xiliang..."

Fearing that she would have to suffer, the queen didn't say it again.

She took a deep look at Wei Anrong, she didn't understand why Wei Anrong had to do this.But there must be her reasons for everything, and it is inconvenient for her to ask too much.

The queen glanced around the outside of the palace, and then glanced at the snowflakes falling from the sky. The weather at the end of December was really chilling.

Meng Qiucheng hurried back to the mansion from the palace, his cheeks were flushed from the cold.

As soon as he entered the room, Jinxi was sewing a cashmere neckband for Meng Qiucheng.Because she was worried, she was absent-minded all the time, and the needle pricked her fingertips several times.

Hearing the movement, he hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked up.The worry in the eyes immediately disappeared, leaving only eagerness.

Opening the mouth, the voice is soft and soft, with three points of anticipation and seven points of warmth, "You are back?"

Meng Qiucheng nodded desperately, rushed forward a few steps and hugged her in his arms.She was never afraid of life or death, but what she was afraid of was never seeing the person in front of her again.

Before she left, she had prepared for the worst, but on the way back from the palace, she realized that there are some things that you can really support without making plans.

"I'm back!" Meng Qiucheng softly replied the same three words.

Jin Xi couldn't help tightening his arms around her waist.I thought I would have to wait seven days, but I didn't want to come back so soon.That shows that today's trip to the palace is a little more survival.

Worry, fear, since the two of them were together, it seemed that they had never stopped.

But after all, they are still fine, standing in front of each other.And that heart is still unshakable by anything.

Thousands of words, life and death, all the turmoil in the world can't make up for this moment.

Nothing vigorous, no affectionate, can't compare with the plain and true mutual understanding.

Jin Xi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "It's good to be back."
