Unprecedented

Chapter 29
The royal courtyard in Yuhuan Mountain is very imposing, hidden in the surrounding mountains, with towering and majestic palaces, flying eaves and brackets, and a splendid atmosphere.

In April, the spring is just right.

After Shuang Lan'er came to the Royal Courtyard, about half a month later, Long Teng sent someone to send Jun Ze, and Qiu Keyin's former maid, Zhu Mo.When she saw Jun Ze, she was extremely excited and rushed forward to hug Jun Ze in her arms.After untold hardships, Jun Ze finally returned to her side.

Jun Ze kept struggling, "Let go of me, who are you?"

Only then did Shuang Lan'er remember that Jun Ze had only seen herself dressed up as Princess Nagiya, and she wondered how to explain it.

Zhu Mo hurriedly said: "Good boy, Jun Ze, didn't I tell you on the way? She is your mother. Your mother suffered a lot back then, so she left you as a last resort and handed you over to the princess to raise you."

Jun Ze broke free from Shuang Lan'er and shrank into Mo's arms, "I don't believe it, I've never seen her before."

Shuang Lan'er suppressed her temper, smiled and said: "Junze, you have seen me. I am Princess Nagiya." After saying that, she turned around and fetched the beaded felt hat of Beiyi Kingdom from the room, and put it on her head I showed it to Junze, and explained: "Look, the dress is different. I put on makeup then. I also gave you a slingshot, remember? Look, I made you another one." She held a newly made slingshot Stuffed into Jun Ze's hands.Exactly the same as before.

Jun Ze hesitated for a moment, "You are Princess Najiya? My father said you are a good person." He suddenly ran forward and quickly kissed Shuang Lan'er on the side of her face.

Shuang Lan'er was ecstatic.

Junze said sweetly: "My father said you are the best person in the world. I haven't seen my father for a long time. I miss him so much. If I kiss you, will my father's eyes heal?"

Shuang Lan'er's eyes were sour, and she touched Jun Ze's forehead, "Jun Ze, your father's eyes are already healed."

Jun Ze clapped his hands and jumped up, "Great, when will my father come to see me?"

At this moment, Shuang Lan'er was speechless.On the night of the palace change, Long Xiaoting kept looking at her with pain in his eyes, she didn't understand.It's just that it's impossible for her and him to go back to the past, everything is in the past.

Momo pulled Junze, and said in a low voice, "Call your mother quickly."

Jun Ze frowned slightly.

I have to persuade you again.

Shuang Lan'er stopped and said: "The future is long, he is still young, and it is normal for him to be difficult to accept for a while. Junze, you go to the back room to play, there are many things."

Jun Ze bounced and ran away.

Shuang Lan'er smiled at Mo: "I didn't expect you to come, thanks to you always taking care of Junze. You helped me in the past, thank you very much." In fact, Mo is a kind person. In the past, Qiu Keyin wanted to use a lantern to set fire to her and assassinate her. Just to reveal.If it weren't for this, she would have no place to die.

Momo panicked, "Empress, I don't dare to be a servant, a servant only does what I think is right."

Shuang Laner smiled.

He said in ink, "King Rui disappeared, and the palace was disbanded. Eunuch Luo and Imperial Physician Shen went to work in the palace. I had already packed up my things and returned home. It was the emperor who brought me back and asked me to take care of Junze."

After listening, Shuang Lan'er's expression was stagnant, and her heart was choked. Shaoyun thought carefully, fearing that Jun Ze would recognize his life, so she deliberately brought Zhu Mo back.She tried to hold back her tears, but couldn't.After leaving for half a month, she missed him so much, but what could she do?Thousands of miles away, he needs someone to inherit.He told her to go, she had to go.What else can I do?
The cold spring passed quickly, and the warm summer wind blew everything away.

Around the royal courtyard, there are verdant trees, rain, dew, clouds, and dew dripping, quiet and pleasant.

Shuang Lan'er watched the sunlight coming in through the window every day, like glass yarn, and then watched the sunset on the west mountain, night fell, and the moonlight rose.Life is plain and simple.

On July 28 of the first year of Longhe, sad news came from Shangyang City.Everyone said: The queen is not blessed. After the wedding, she was seriously ill and was bedridden. She was sent to the mountains to recuperate. She couldn't survive the heat and died.

After the Queen's funeral, on the tenth day of August of the same year, Rui Wang Long Xiaoting made a comeback and suddenly sent troops to capture the three southern counties.

Long Teng has been on the throne for half a year, but his foundation is not yet stable.Rui Wang Long Xiaoting once ruled the six jurisdictions, and his power spread all over the Xianglong Kingdom, and everyone responded.The world thought it would be a protracted war.Unexpectedly, when the autumn leaves were fluttering in October, there was a mistake in the deployment of the new Emperor Longteng in Yuezhou, King Rui's troops instantly conquered Yuezhou, and went north to Shangyang City.

Everyone knows that the sky is about to change again.

In the first year of Longhe, on October [-]th, the imperial city was besieged and soldiers approached the city.

Night, full moon.

Outside the palace, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, countless horses, and occasionally a large flag fluttered, with a huge "Rui" character on the flag.A general held a "thunder" order and rode back and forth, shouting, "King Rui has orders, stay where you are!"

Inside the palace, Long Teng was sitting on the floor, drinking leisurely, with a calm expression.The scene today seems familiar, the difference is that last time he designed Long Xiaoting to force the palace, but this time it was Long Xiaoting who really rebelled.

Linglong was about to go crazy, she didn't understand, with Long Teng's strength, how could it be possible for Long Xiaoting to attack the imperial city from the south in two months.The soldiers approached the city, but the people in front of her... She suddenly had a feeling that Long Teng seemed to want Long Xiaoting to invade the imperial city on purpose.She couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Long Teng said softly: "Bring the piano."

Linglong didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked, "What?"

Long Teng repeated again: "Bring the piano."

Linglong reluctantly took it.

Long Teng plucked the strings aimlessly with his fingers, and the melody was like a long sigh.In a trance, there seemed to be a dancing figure of Shuang Lan'er in front of her eyes, as startled as a bird, graceful as a dragon swimming.

Yes, once upon a time, she had firmly occupied his heart.

She said, "Shaoyun, the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches growing from the same root, which cannot be dependent on each other in the wind."

Yes, I don't know when, they have become branches growing from the same root.Can't rely on each other in the wind, because he broke her abruptly.

Once, she moved closer to him little by little, and pressed a kiss on his lips.

Once, when he was injured, she rushed up behind her, "Shaoyun, if you have something to do, I will accompany you!"

His heart was surging like a tidal wave, his hand gestures lost strength in an instant, Long Teng violently hooked it, and it cracked with a "Zheng", and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.He raised his head, the sword light was shining all around, a vague smile appeared on his lips, if he could know her heart in this life, what more could he ask for?Tonight, he still has one wish to fulfill.And the person he was waiting for finally came.

Dressed in a white shirt and golden armor, Long Xiaoting rushed in a few steps suppressing his anger.The silver light flashed, and the soft sapphire sword in his hand slashed down hard.

With a "pop", the guqin split in two in front of Long Teng.

Long Xiaoting looked at Long Teng, his cold eyes were bloodshot, he had been attacking the city day and night, and he had already collapsed from exhaustion.The long sword pointed directly at Long Teng, and he said angrily, "How did Lan'er die?"

Long Teng slowly raised his eyes, and said lightly: "Your Lan'er died more than two years ago, did you forget the arrow you shot yourself?"

Long Xiaoting's face paled in an instant, "She finally survived, why did you treat her like this? Expelling her from the palace made her die in depression, why on earth?"

Long Teng said in a low voice: "What is the pain I gave her compared to what you gave?"

With a sound of "clang", Long Xiaoting's soft sword landed on the ground, and he said dejectedly: "Although soldiers are approaching the city, I have no intention of forcing the palace. You must give me an explanation tonight."

Long Teng smiled, and mocked from the corner of his eyes, "Uncle Huang, you're not cruel enough."

Long Xiaoting narrowed his eyes, picked up the long sword again, and stretched across Long Teng's neck, "I'm waiting for your explanation!"

Linglong was restrained by the black-clothed Jinwei, unable to move, she could only cover her cold lips with her hands.

Long Teng smiled slowly, he didn't mind the cold blade lying across his neck at all, he clapped his hands repeatedly, his phoenix eyes stared at Long Teng, "There is someone, maybe you would like to meet."

The voice fell, and a person came out of the inner hall.

Long Xiaoting saw clearly that it was Xiao Xi, the court lady who used to be by Shuang Lan'er's side. After Shuang Lan'er left, Xiao Xi was also sent away from the palace.

Long Teng stretched out two fingers, moved away the blade, and said calmly: "Xiao Xi, Concubine Duan passed away, and Concubine Rui fled in fear of crime. No one can threaten you anymore. You should tell the truth about the past."

Xiao Xi knelt down with a "plop".

"My lord, Mrs. Lan is suffering so much. The slaves have seen it in their eyes, and they dare not say it until now."

"Mrs. Lan accidentally found white powder left behind by burning candles. After testing, she found out that it was sparrow spirit powder. From then on, Mrs. Lan knew that the princess wanted to poison her. She risked becoming dumb for life, so she followed the plan and continued Chronic poisoning, while taking medicine to recuperate, just to use myself as a bait to expose the true face of the princess."

"When the lantern caught fire during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I couldn't bear the princess being killed, so I asked someone to make three paintings to pass the message to Mrs. Lan. Mrs. Lan followed her plan and re-painted three paintings for Fengtian, so that there was a subsequent scene."

"Later... Later, the lord suddenly became nice to Madam Lan... Unexpectedly, Concubine Duan gave Madam Lan a severed finger and threatened her with Madam Lan's family..."

Needless to say, Long Xiaoting already knew all the past events. His voice was mournful, and he murmured: "I misunderstood her and thought she was a greedy and unscrupulous woman. When the lantern caught fire, she went to grab it. I thought she liked me, but then I thought she was just using me, and even pretended to be dumb to get my sympathy. Later, she was willing to exchange her children for money. She admitted that she was doing it for money, power and favor. I, I was so mad I really didn't expect her to be threatened by the concubine mother."

"ridiculous!"

Long Teng suddenly intervened and said, "It's ridiculous! It's a waste of your life to be so smart that you can't see through such a simple situation. What can she get from you? What can she give her? She snatched the lantern just out of instinct, it's ridiculous that she gave her wrong intentions." , in Hongzhou, on the same Mid-Autumn Lantern Night, she looked at me and called out your name!"

Long Xiaoting was shocked.

Long Teng almost laughed, "Do you know what you missed?"

Long Xiaoting's eyes were filled with pain.

Long Teng said word by word, "You miss the most innocent and beautiful woman in the world. Even I feel sorry for you!" He waved his hand to signal Xiao Xi to back down.

"Let me tell you the rest. She just gave birth to Jun Ze. Your concubine mother and concubine gave her a bowl of sterilization pills, cruelly depriving her of the right to be a mother in the future."

"You give her a silver mirror, I always see her take it out and look at it."

"Enough! Stop talking!" Long Xiaoting interrupted suddenly. He was soaked through, his eyes were sore, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Long Teng looked disdainful, "Why didn't you say it? Whenever it snows, she is in pain, do you know why?"

"There is a poison, have you heard of it? Ferret poison!"

Long Xiaoting froze suddenly, remembering that one day when the sky suddenly snowed, he took her to the back mountain to question her, she accidentally recovered her voice, but he thought she was faking, she twitched in pain, but he thought she was pretending to be pitiful.It turned out to be the outbreak of the ferret's poison. She would be poisoned by the ferret, and it was all for him to pick the snow goose exquisite flower.He misunderstood her so much, he didn't understand her so well.

Long Teng watched coldly.

Long Xiaoting seemed unable to bear it, and fell to the ground on one knee.There seemed to be something warm on the cheek, slipping down bit by bit.He murmured: "I know I misunderstood her, but it's a pity...it's too late..." After he lost his eyesight, he figured out many things, but unfortunately some of them could no longer be verified.Until now, when everything was clarified in front of him, he realized how wrong he was and how much she had suffered.And these are all given by him.

Long Teng's magnetic voice echoed in the hall.

"Do you really think I want Jiangshan? If I don't claim to be emperor, how can I completely overthrow the Qiu family? Long Xiaoting, as long as the Qiu family is used, they will use Junze endlessly, and it is impossible for her to reunite with her parents and children! In Hongzhou I I just told you that I don’t want to compete with you for the throne, you let me down. My surname is also Long, and I don’t want hundreds of years of foundation to fall into the Qiu family.”

"However, I guessed a little wrong."

"You knew Princess Nagiya was her, didn't you? The emperor's grandpa bestowed the marriage, and you suddenly objected. Do you feel that you owe her and want to fulfill us?"

"I also found out that the note she received at the posthouse reminded Qiu Jinghua that there was a conspiracy, and you were helping her secretly, right?

"You deliberately took the opportunity to suspend Qiu Jinghua, so that we can carry out the plan smoothly. Moreover, you deliberately fell into my trap last time, didn't you?"

"I was wrong about this. I thought you only had Qiu Peiyin in your heart. It turns out that you love her too."

"Since that's the case, why did you hurt her in the first place? What happened to Qiu Peiyin has been going on for so long, why can't you let it go? Do you really think that Qiu Peiyin died in front of you because of you? She did it for the Qiu family!"

Long Xiaoting was tangled in grief, and his chest was so painful that he couldn't breathe.After a long time, he finally recovered his voice, and when he spoke, it was fragmented, "Yes. As soon as Princess Nagiya appeared, I suspected it was Lan'er. Later, a silver box containing severed fingers was salvaged from the cold lake, and I was sure she was Lan'er. I started to actively cooperate with her to treat her eyes, just to see her as soon as possible. When the emperor bestowed her marriage, I could already see blurred shadows. Afterwards, my eyesight improved day by day."

Long Teng lamented, "You and I were born in the royal family, and we had no choice. All tragedies started with the princess Qiu Peiyin. My father, the king and my mother did all kinds of bad things, and they got what they deserved. I don't blame you. But why? It's not over yet? It's been so long, I haven't said something to you, I'm really sorry, my father sent me away about Qiu Peiyin, otherwise I can help Tinglan. Xiao Ting, you are Gentle and modest gentleman, my father imprisoned you and Qiu Peiyin in another courtyard, what happened in that month? Since then, you have become taciturn?"

Thinking of the previous scene, Long Xiaoting's heart seemed to be struggling in the flames, he closed his eyes fiercely, and said: "It's over. You'd better never know."

Long Teng was noncommittal, and only asked, "Is it worth it? Maybe Qiu Peiyin never loved you."

Long Xiaoting smiled slightly, "Peiyin and I have only met each other a few times. I know that she loves someone else, and I think the person she loves has long since died. So every time I see her, her melancholy and forbearing eyes , is distressing."

"I know who my father is."

Linglong has been listening to their conversation, intervening in a timely manner.

Long Xiaoting signaled the black-clothed Jinwei to let go of Linglong.

Linglong recounted everything that Qiu Duanming said that she and Shuang Lan'er played ghosts in the mourning hall that night: including that his father was the former prince's attendant Shuang Yuelin, and that she and Shuang Lan'er were cousins; including Shuang Lan'er's mother. The relative is He Yulian, the court lady next to Qiu Duanming; including Qiu Duanming who asked Qiu Keyin to give Qiu Peiyin a message, and wanted to sacrifice Qiu Peiyin to protect Qiu's family and Long Xiaoting; including Qiu Keyin who stole the fire and cold poison from the prince's mansion , took the opportunity to pour it into Qiu Peiyin; including Shuang Lan'er's blood is poisonous, so it can be used as medicine; including why Shuang Liancheng was demoted back then, and was forced by the prince to prepare fire and cold poison; Later, he deliberately asked people to find out the fire-cold poison, causing Shuang Liancheng's family to be convicted; and Shuang Lan'er went away to Hongzhou, but Qiu Keyin still sent people to chase and kill her.

After hearing this, Long Teng sneered, "I've heard Shuang Lan'er say some things. In fact, the evidence that He Yulian possessed was hidden in that ring. There was a crack in the middle of the emerald of the ring, and the back was mended. I had someone cut the crack open." , which hides the chronic poison used to murder the prince for more than ten years. In order to cure Qiu Keyin, the blood of Shuanglan's son is needed. In fact, it can be done secretly. The entanglements of grievances and resentments from more than ten years ago are mixed in. It turns out that from the very beginning, the members of Shuang's family were doomed to be unable to escape the tragedy."

Long Xiaoting didn't know when he sat down on the ground, and the autumn wind blew, like a sharp sword cutting his throat again and again.He didn't know that Shuang Liancheng had always been a victim, threatened by the crown prince and coerced by his concubine mother.No wonder he shot that arrow, Shuang Liancheng looked relieved.What saddened him most was that his life went from one mistake to another.Qiu Keyin did not hesitate to kill Qiu Peiyin because of his love for himself, but he felt guilty towards Qiu Keyin because of Qiu Peiyin's death, so he involved the innocent Lan'er, and he injured Lan'er to the point of utter bruises.

The truth was too cruel, Long Xiaoting couldn't breathe, the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing, he was about to collapse and fall into the bottomless abyss.Suddenly, he jumped up, punched the corner of Long Teng's mouth fiercely, and shouted: "Yes, compared to the pain I gave her, what you gave is nothing! But she is helpless enough, don't you love her?" ? Why don't you treat her well?"

Long Teng staggered back a few steps, reaching out his hand to wipe away the blood on his lips.He smiled lightly, his eyes were full of sadness, "Yeah, why didn't I treat her well. You will never understand!" After a pause, he said quietly: "I didn't realize that you loved her too, what a mistake It was outrageous. After a long circle, I returned to the original point. Now the truth is revealed, and I will clear the obstacles for you. From now on, there will be no barriers between you..."

Long Xiaoting frowned deeply, he couldn't understand a word Long Teng said.

After a while, Long Teng suddenly raised his head, showing a bright smile, and turned his eyes to Linglong, "You go out first, a hundred steps away from Tianling Palace, I have something to say to him alone."

That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, dazzlingly beautiful, Linglong was slightly distracted, and when she recovered, her eyes showed worry, she looked at Long Xiaoting, and then at Long Teng.

Long Teng said softly: "Go, I'll let him go out and call you later. Tonight, there must be an ending."

Linglong obeyed and left far away.

Long Teng stroked his cuff, and said calmly: "Tell your people to stay away too. I don't want a third person to know what happened tonight."

Long Xiaoting raised his hand to signal the guards to retreat a hundred steps away.

The hall was suddenly quiet, and the wind picked up, and their black hair was flying in the wind.

The candle flame flickered weakly, and suddenly there was a flash of golden light.

Long Xiaoting found it dazzling, but when he looked around, it was Long Teng who handed over a scroll of imperial edict.The golden thread of the imperial edict shone brightly in the candlelight.He opened it suspiciously, his hands froze in mid-air.This is the imperial edict for Long Teng to abdicate the throne.It turned out that before he forced the palace, Long Teng had already drawn up the imperial edict.His voice was hollow, "What does this mean? I don't understand."

Long Teng smiled lightly.

"I used to imitate Qiu Duanming's handwriting to lure you into the palace. I wrote two copies of this letter, one of which has been handed over to the third division. After today, the world will know that I framed you in the past, and the throne belongs to you."

After a pause, Long Teng said lightly, "Return your innocence."

Long Xiaoting couldn't believe it, "Why did you do this?"

Long Teng didn't turn around, but just looked at Liang Ding indifferently, "Go and call Qiu Ruoyi in."

Long Xiaoting frowned, and walked out of Tianling Hall as he said.

The night is shrouded, there are no stars and no moon, and the world is extremely bleak.

Linglong was standing at the bottom of the hundred steps.

When Long Xiaoting stepped out of the threshold of Tianling Hall, he seemed to hear an unusual sound in his ear, like a spring starting.He didn't pay attention at first, and walked a few steps away.

Suddenly, with a "snap", the door of the palace was closed abruptly, followed by several loud bangs of "bang dong".

Under the bleak night, Long Xiaoting froze suddenly, maintaining the posture just now, only the cold sweat dripping down his forehead.With an ominous premonition in his heart, he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Tianling Hall.It's a pity that the door of the palace was closed tightly, and a huge beam fell down, blocking the door and the window.

"Shaoyun, what are you going to do?"

"Shaoyun!"

Long Xiaoting shouted, but unfortunately no one responded.

In the Tianling Palace where there was only one person left, under the dim candlelight, Long Teng's beautiful face was like a dream.He slowly took out a piece of white brocade from his arms, his movements were as elegant as a gorgeous poem.The corners of the white brocade cloth were broken, as if torn from pieces of cloth, and there were a little brown blood stains on the cloth.He stared obsessively, unable to look away.

Long Xiaoting reluctantly opened a gap in the window, looked in, and shouted hoarsely, "Shaoyun! What are you going to do?"

In Tianling Hall, Long Teng stretched out his hand to gently take the candlestick, the red candle fell to the ground, igniting a room of white gauze.The hot wind whipped up his purple clothes, flying like a purple haze in the sky at sunrise, so beautiful.

The fire spread and engulfed everything in an instant.

The smoke filled everywhere, and gradually, Long Xiaoting couldn't see anything.

I only heard Long Teng say the last sentence, "She's not dead. If you can save her, go find her..."

"No!"

Linglong rushed up from the steps.

The raging fire seemed to burn the entire Tianling Palace into ashes. Linglong beat the scorching door over and over again, but it was in vain. She could only watch Tianling Palace being engulfed in flames.what to do?Suddenly, her whole body was shaken and she slammed into the stone pillar in front of the hall.

Long Xiaoting had sharp eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Linglong with one arm, "What are you going to do?"

Linglong groaned, "Why stop me? I just want to die! He's dead, what am I doing alive!"

Long Xiaoting held back his grief, "I can't let you die, Pei Yin also wants to see it."

Linglong suddenly collapsed completely, "Qiu Peiyin! Qiu Peiyin!" She raised her head suddenly, her delicate face was distorted like a ghost at this moment, she looked directly at him, and said word by word: "Long Xiaoting, have you thought about it?" Ever? Everyone says that Shuang Lan'er's voice is exactly like Qiu Peiyin's, and she has a cold temperament and a stubborn temperament. Haven't you thought about it? Our cousins, she is actually Qiu Peiyin's daughter?"

The facts are too shocking.

Long Xiaoting froze suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, his whole body was numb.

Linglong laughed bitterly, "Haha, I have planned everything, and I have nothing in the end. In the end, what else can I hide? The bronze pendant contains the facts of the year. He Yulian was worried that Qiu Jinghua would harm her after finding her child, so she secretly used it more than ten years ago. I replaced her... and discarded me..."
