atypical prostitute

Chapter 271

squeak - creak -

When the palace door was pushed open, a wind blew in from outside the hall, and the veil fluttered with it, revealing a haggard woman in the dark depths.

It has been more than three days since the news of the Pei family's defeat spread to the palace. During these three days of torment, Pei Ling'er has been sitting in the Hanyuan Hall, needing no sound or light, only the rotting and stinking head beside her. accompany.

But at this moment, the palace gate that had been closed for three days was opened again, and people from the Palace of Chinese Clothes filed in and lit the palace lanterns one by one. The gloomy and depressed Hanyuan Palace immediately returned to its original glory.

The woman sitting leaning next to the huge dragon carving pillar watched them busily shuttling back and forth blankly, her eyes like dead fish only noticed Fu Lici who was standing outside the hall.

Unlike her soon-to-be, Fu Lici, who appeared here as a victor, was wearing a scarlet long gown, with black hair combed high, and was only decorated with the ancient jade hairpin of Qingluan.

She stood in front of the temple gate with a cold face, holding the imperial decree in both hands, followed by three Wanyi, who were generally indifferent in general attire, and equally cold, with a carved gold plate on the end, which contained a three-foot white silk, a silver knife in a gold sheath, and a jade cup. Poison wine.

This is the end that the courtiers bestowed upon the Queen Mother. Even if she dies, she must be worthy of the luxury and grandeur of her status.

There was a hint of paleness and trance at the corner of his dry mouth.

"You are finally here," she said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

This is the meaning of inviting Li Ci into the palace, although Pei Ling'er is no longer qualified to order anyone.

But out of respect for the dying man, Fu Lici only slowly stepped into the hall after getting her permission, and approached without saying a word.

In all fairness, Pei Linger's ending is entirely her own fault!Her tyrannical regime caused countless deaths, and among them were those whom Li Ci cared about and cherished. Now, being able to personally send her on the road is also karma.

Looking at the insensitive face behind the veil, Li Ci wanted to say something sarcastic, but when he really opened his mouth, he swallowed the words again.

The thousands of branches and leaves on the woman's temples reminded her of the past.

At that time, she was just a high-spirited new favorite of the harem, and at that time, I was just an immature young woman who had just entered the political arena.

After several years, the hairpin is still resplendent, but the hair is bitter gray.

She... is only 23 years old!

"If you don't want to die, I can also fulfill you. As long as you promise to keep yourself safe in the future, you will never ask questions that should not be asked."

For some reason, pity that he didn't understand blurted out.

Perhaps, it's because women are naturally intolerable.

Although Pei Linger's actions are disgusting, all she did was to keep Xiao Baoyin's crumbling throne!
If I were in her shoes, I would probably do the same thing.Li Ci thought silently.

At this time, Pei Ling'er had already raised her head.

Her eyes were cold and her words were cold.

"Fu Lici, I still understand the truth of success and defeat. Why do you pretend to be merciful in front of me now? Even if there is no conflict of interest between you and me, it is doomed to be impossible to be friends! I hate you very, very much , I hated you the first time I saw you. Your eyes are always so proud, as if other women are fools except you! I know you look down on me, think I'm ignorant and stupid, a fool A woman who depends on a man to live, but where is your nobility? If there is no Ye Chuan, you are nothing!"

Although he knew that Pei Linger could not realize her mistakes, when she heard her accusations, Li Ci also sighed softly, saying: "We are all women, and we all know that in this world where men dominate everything, women want to How hard it is to keep something. So, although you have done a lot of excessive things to me and the people around me, I have never looked down on you. I just hate you and admire you at the same time. I often assume that I am you, and you In the same situation, can you sacrifice like you, and use unscrupulous means."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and said: "If you have to say that anyone looks down on you, it is you who look down on yourself."

"I look down on myself?" Pei Ling'er stood up funny, stepped forward, looked at Fu Lici, and said disdainfully: "What nonsense are you talking about! I am the empress dowager, and the whole world bows down to me—"

"But you still despise yourself."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lici interrupted her.

She said: "You have always had low self-esteem, and you have had low self-esteem since a long time ago. Because you were born a concubine, and because you were taught to imitate others since you were young. You think that you can gradually wash away your low self-esteem after entering the palace and being favored, but in fact you have never overcome it." Your demons, Zhao Wanru and the others can knock you into the abyss with just one word."

"You nonsense! I hate that you have nothing to do with Zhao Wanru. I hate your arrogance, your hypocrisy, and how you and your husband are targeting me everywhere!"

"But King Wei is also arrogant and hypocritical. Why don't you hate him, but commit yourself to him? There is no shame in politics. You can compromise temporarily and help you deal with King Wei by enticing us and my wife to the Ye family. Why? You can't see such a clear path? Because your hatred for me is the hatred of women for women, and it is a narrow-mindedness that cannot be compromised."

Every sentence was like a knife cutting Pei Linger's body, piercing through all the pretense and exposing her fragile essence to the air.

In Pei Linger's eyes, there was finally desolation.

She took a few steps back and smiled sadly: "...You have seen through everything. Yes, I know that uniting with the Ye family can get the greatest benefits, but I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart. Because I am a woman, I am a thorough A thorough woman, I can't put great interests above caution like a man. Compared with power, I still care more about women's emotional battles. So... I lost to you, I..."

After sobbing a few times, she raised her head with an infinitely gentle tone.

"After I die, will you let Yin'er grow up, let him live well, and live a long life even if he does nothing?"

The pleading was so bitter and bitter that it was almost powerless, and the always willful eyeballs were filled with tears.

But Fu Lici didn't want to answer her, because no one knew how to answer this question.

After waiting for a long time but still not getting an answer, Pei Linger's heart was also icy cold. She raised her head again and begged: "Please promise me, as long as you promise me, I will go on my way immediately."

However, this time, what she got was still rejection.

Fu Lici's reply was - stepped forward, held up the imperial decree with one hand, and said in a loud voice: "The Empress Dowager Pei has absolute power and disorderly government, and the filthy harem is an unforgivable crime. I will die!"

"No!"

At the same time as the voice fell, Pei Linger was equally outraged. She rushed forward with rounded eyes, as if she wanted to snatch the imperial decree from Fu Lici, but was restrained by the female officials who had surrounded her for a long time. She could only grit her teeth and curse: "You can't do this to me!"

Fu Lici ignored her, but mechanically said: "The time has come, please let the queen mother die!"

"No! I'm not going to die! I'm the queen mother, and my mother loves the world, you can't treat me like this!"

Pei Linger reiterated hoarsely, but no matter how hard she struggled or even kicked, the female officers who controlled her did not relax.

The hands of the martial arts woman were like red-hot iron tongs, strangling Pei Linger's pampered wrist.

Only half a foot away from her, Fu Lici, the winner, still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, repeating again: "The time has come, please return to the queen mother!"

Behind her, the three female officials holding a three-foot white silk, a gold sheath and a silver knife, and a jade cup of poisoned wine also knelt down and said in unison: "The time has come, please return to the queen mother!"

Pei Ling'er was stunned. In the past three days in the claustrophobic Hanyuan Hall, she had thought about her possible ending countless times, but when she really saw the death decree, saw the red lacquer plates in the hands of the female officials, and saw the faint cloud patterns. When the silver knives and jade cups were shining brightly on the brocade, her heart still trembled uncontrollably.

She doesn't want to die yet, she's still young, she can't die yet!

She shouted: "I want to see the emperor! I want to see my son. You have no right to deprive a mother of the right to see her son for the last time!"

"do not have it?"

Li Ci raised her head, her eyes were extremely sharp, Pei Linger's dying struggle reminded her that it was the woman in front of her who, together with the Guangming God of the Western Regions, killed her beloved eldest son, even preventing her from lying in his small coffin Cry aloud!
Everyone involved in this conspiracy must pay the price!

Let them die without a burial place, and their ashes will be trampled by thousands of people!
Even if he caused [-] killings and fell into Shura Hell after death, and would never see him again, he would have no regrets!
This is her oath!

Hatred extinguished the remaining pity, Fu Lici stood up, pinched Pei Linger's chin, and said softly and cruelly: "It's true, but Your Majesty doesn't want to see you."

"Nonsense! How could my Yin'er not see me! It's you, it's you who don't allow him to see me!"

Cursing sternly, Fu Lici was extremely indifferent to Pei Linger's dying struggle. Her attitude was still gentle, but her words were even harsher.

"People are mortal, not to mention that you are doomed to die today, Empress Dowager. Why do you have to see Your Majesty? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will have nightmares every night because of this ugly face struggling to die? I promise you, if you simply go to die, I will also consider it." Don't let His Majesty know the scandalous things you have done..."

"really?"

There were tears in Pei Linger's eyes. She knew that Fu Lici's promise was not credible, but these words really touched the woman's heart.

All the efforts and struggles of these years are all for Yin'er!

However, even after figuring out all the stakes, she still couldn't stop feeling sad.

"Your majesty, your mother is going to die. When you grow up, you must avenge me!" Looking at the Qianyuan Hall where the young emperor lived from a distance, Pei Ling'er, who was streaming with tears, raised her white and tender neck like a swan.

……

Bai Ling slowly wrapped her around and tightened, her breathing gradually became difficult, and when her eyes were about to completely darken, she trembled because of a sneer she saw in a trance.

——They will never give Yin'er a chance to take revenge!

"I'll be waiting for you on Huangquan Road, bitch—"

Pei Ling'er cried out in grief, her voice was shrill like a night owl, but it stopped abruptly because of the sudden force of the executioners.

The unsupported body fell limply to the ground, the flowers were on the ground, the golden hairpin fell, and the emerald jade was scratched, scattered and shattered.

Seeing that Pei Linger still had the hatred on his dying face, Li Ci sadly realized that he couldn't feel the joy of revenge, his heart was blank, and his body numbly stepped out of the Hanyuan Hall, and walked down the steps, wearing a complicated and long skirt. The train meanders across the dragon and phoenix steps, behind the Mingwa dragon eaves, the setting sun is like blood, crumbling.

In the wind, there was a thin and long voice from the servants: "The empress dowager—"
