box of hearts

Chapter 29 Suo Nanzhi (10)
Tears burst out of Qiao Yunze's eyes, hissed his throat, and his jade-like face burst into cruel and incomplete broken lines, "Since I was young, every bit of my struggle has been In order to be able to keep you completely and cleanly one day, I thought my hard work would end on the day of victory, but unfortunately, I found that this was just the beginning. Qingtian, you have never belonged to me, and you will never belong to me. It won't be mine forever. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like being pricked by billions of needles and cut piece by piece by a pair of blunt scissors. So for my own good, and for your own good, I'll do it for both of us A decision has been made. I will be the son-in-law of Mr. Zhang Yanshu, the Minister of Rites, and I will have an unshakable backer in this ups and downs. And you will be "Qiaomen Duanshi". This book will be yours. The inscription on the tombstone."

He was crying profusely, his hands were trembling violently, and he pressed his heart, "I will never take off this pendant you gave me in my life. No matter who is sitting in my sedan chair, I In my heart, only you are my wife. I finished the collar, sleeves, stitches and threads of that wedding dress by myself. I would put it on for you again and bury you with my own hands. You will be in the best When I die, I don’t need to know anything, and I don’t need to endure anything. I will often visit you, just like we did when we were young, sitting and talking all night. There will no longer be any man who takes money, power, and takes you from my side Take it away. You will always be mine, only mine. Qingtian, I kill you because I love you, no one else will love you so deeply that I need to kill you like me. "

With the sound of blood rumbling in her ears, Qing Tian listened to the strange reason, and looked at the strange man behind the curtain of her tears, her only real dragon emperor.

"'Ye Gongzi is very fond of dragons. He hooks to describe dragons, chisels to describe dragons, and houses carvings to describe dragons. So Tianlong heard about it, peeped at the head, and put the tail in the hall. Ye Gong saw it and abandoned it. Let’s go’[5].——For many years, Qingtian has been devoted to me, only the son’s love for me, but today I can see his true face, but I feel ‘lost his soul, the five colors have no owner’[ 6]. I was just a mediocre person, not worthy of the young master's affection, so please forgive me, Mr. Ye, for being a dragon! From now on, the heaven and the earth have nothing to do with each other. I sincerely wish that Mr. Qiao will be prosperous and prosperous when he goes here , hold the moon for nine days." Qingtian's throat was full of the smell of blood, every word was crying blood.She bowed to Qiao Yunze in tears, a pair of golden grass[7] in her bun trembling with fine beards, the long golden beads on her arms slid across the green chiseled tiles, her voice was unbearably broken smell.

In the world covered by floating dust, Qingtian closed its doors and collapsed, sifting through the chaff and shaking.Two steps away, the cat approached.She seized it with bony hands, gripping it firmly, as if clinging to a rope on the brink of an abyss of insanity, and losing it would mean nothing.She had already been prepared, and Qiao Yun would use the most vulgar excuse to prevaricate that he no longer loved her, or could no longer love her, but she never thought about it, his excuse was: he loves her.And she couldn't even deny the love.The love of an angel is called love, and the love of a devil is also called love, and it is hotter and more intense, so it is more like a love.Qingtian would rather that the person he loves for half his life is a fallen angel than find out that he is a complete devil.It seems that he is desperately watching his own torture every year, just to stand on the side of fate in the struggle with fate.

The following period of time was completely blank in Qingtian's memory, only vaguely, and suddenly he heard someone calling somewhere.She responded and saw Mu Yun with teary eyes.

"Girl, girl, are you okay?"

Qingtian held down a hand that was stroking up and down on her chest, "Okay." Something moved on her body—it was a cat, it jumped out of her arms, and left gracefully.Qing Tian looked at it, then looked back at Mu Yun, "Did Mom see 'him'?"

Mu Yun's tears were streaming down her cheeks, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "I just finished talking with Xiao Zhao and as soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother standing with him. My mother yelled at him, saying that he was ungrateful for abandoning the girl and marrying someone else." Good to die."

"Why, Mom knows too?"

"Hmph, what a good story about the Duke of No. I want to hide it from you. Once this person comes, no one can hide it from anyone. My mother stopped him from entering, but I let him in because I said the girl wanted to see her. If you are old in Shangshuge, you will not be allowed to step into Huaiyatang. He also said that after a while, ask Miss Diexian to lead Miss Zhaohua on behalf of the bureau, girl, just rest and don't have to go."

Qingtian's face was dull, "How can we not go to the game?" He sat up straight with his hands up, and stood up.

Mu Yun anxiously came to help her, "Girl!"

Qing Tian tightly grasped the maidservant's hand, the palms of which were filled with cold sweat, exerted great force, almost ruthless.Step by step, she went back to the dressing table in the outer room, sat down, wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks in front of the mirror, slowly spread the powder on her cheeks, and picked up the rouge pen, the corners of her eyes and her lips.

Fortunately, there is still a thick lead, and the painted skin is glamorous to confuse all living beings, but it can't care about the Fendai skeleton underneath, so embarrassing.

At night, like a heavy imperial net, the pockets were scattered.

9.
No matter how long the night is, there will be an end.The sun rises in the east, but under the sun is no longer the wind and the moon, but the roar of the phoenix, the tiger crouching and the dragon sleeping——

Purple, forbidden, city.

Unlike the second sister Duan who kept her word in Huai Ya Tang, there are two hostesses in the Forbidden City, one is the Empress Dowager Xihe who lives in the Cining Palace, and the other is the Empress Dowager Wang Shi who lives in the Ciqing Palace in the east. .Restricted by the royal ritual system, if it is not the New Year's Eve, even the relatives in the five suits are not allowed to meet with the family members in private, and the empress dowager's palace should not have any men other than the emperor, but in fact, there are always untimely events. The male guest disturbed the clean two palaces.

The guest of the Palace of Compassion is Qi She, the regent. He sat on a square stool with golden flowers, his eyes lowered slightly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for giving me a seat."

From behind the deep curtain ahead was still the beautiful and mysterious voice: "Zhao Sheng and Yuming stay, and the rest go."

The pair of eunuchs and maids stood guard outside the hall and closed the door.

Inside the hall, the curtain was lightly parted, and Empress Dowager Xihe came out step by step.Dressed in brocade silk with flying phoenixes, she is a young woman with a straight nose and slightly ridged cheeks, but her chin is unavoidably narrow and sharp, hiding a sense of determination.She walked straight to Prince Regent Qi She's stool flickeringly, and then smiled, a pair of pear dimples suddenly bloomed on her lips, which was surprisingly sweet and enchanting. "Third Master."

Qi She replied familiarly to the lips that came up.

Xihe closed her eyes and muttered: "Brother-in-law..."

Yes, brother-in-law.

Xihe is the concubine's daughter of the Zhan family, who was married to the eldest son of the emperor as a side concubine, while her sister Yongyuan, who was born on the first line, was married to the third son of the emperor, Qi She, as the main concubine.From the day she got married, Xihe knew that she and her closest sister had become enemies for a very simple reason: their husbands were enemies.The third son of the emperor, Qi She, was the only son of the Empress Zhonggong, and should be the undisputed crown prince, but the old emperor insisted on appointing the eldest son as the crown prince.The battle between the two princes has lasted for more than ten years. This secret battle without weapons is extremely tragic.In the end, the eldest son of the emperor won.In the month when Xihe's husband was registered as the crown prince, Qi She's wife, Xihe's sister Yongyuan hanged herself.Six years later, her husband also died naked on the body of a concubine.The deaths of these two relatives are like a pair of stone beasts of great weight guarding the door of Xihe's heart. Behind the door is a long tomb passage and unfathomable darkness.

After that, Qi Hong, the only prince in the Forbidden City, who was only seven years old, became a great treasure, and his 23-year-old biological mother Xihe also changed from a "virtuous concubine" to a "sacred mother empress dowager", and the former queen of the palace was replaced by Respected as the "Mother Queen Empress Dowager", she entered the two palaces of Cining and Ciqing respectively, and jointly listened to politics behind the curtain.However, with the fall of a bright yellow curtain, the struggle has just begun.

The Eastern Empress Dowager's natal family is from the royal family of foreign relatives. The Qi family established the dynasty.In the court, the young emperor Qi Hong and his mother Xi He are just puppets manipulated by others.The only time Xihe called the shots was after the urgent military report that the Mongolian Tatars broke through the border came.The civil and military affairs of the whole court are chaotic like headless chickens, with only one exception, that is a young man with a straight figure, although his eyes are vicissitudes like a centenarian, it seems that you can judge your life with just one glance.He issued a military order and asked Ying to lead the army.

Across the high throne, Xi He recognized him.He was the husband of her deceased sister Yongyuan, and the third son Qi She who had been imprisoned by her own husband for four full years.All the officials looked at the prince who had just been lifted and objected in unison. Only Xihe, staring deeply into those piercing eyes, after a short struggle, told everyone to shut up with just one sentence: " Whoever doesn't agree with the prince's going, then go to the front line and serve the court!" She supported Qi She like a gambler, and if she lost the bet, her mother and son would spend their entire lives watching the face of the Wang family, and if they won the bet, they would be eligible to share the stage Give it a go.

Xihe was not disappointed.
