After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 11 The Secret of Portraits (1)
Annihilation... Could it be that there really are impenetrable walls in this world.Rong Yu lowered his head, his blue hair was hanging down, wrapped around his palm, he clasped his thumb, and said, "Say it."

"Your Majesty checked Liu's family," Zhiqi said with a strange serious expression on his face, "You should know that Liu Yi was originally from Jianghu. , surpassing all kings. But there is another way of saying it in Jianghu." At this point, Zhiqi paused for a while, and looked at Rong Yu firmly.

Rong Yu raised his eyelids and said, "What do you say?"

"Twenty years ago when Liu Yi traveled to Youzhou, it happened that the Jing State was attacking. At that time, 20 soldiers from the Jing State invaded the border, and less than [-] soldiers defended the frontier. They rushed to the battle. There was no food inside, no aid outside, and the soldiers were in danger. , I was born to be ordered by this reckless rivers and lakes who have never been on the battlefield, the empress sees this paragraph, would you rather have no doubts?"

"Or he was born with talent?" Rong Yu said lightly, but he also knew that it must not be the case.

"General?" Zhiqi snorted coldly, "There are so many generals in the world, why is he?"

Rong Yu said: "Of course it's because of Princess Mingyue."

Zhiqi said: "Your Majesty is talking about Princess Xuanji?" When the word "Xuanji" appeared on Zhiqi's face, there was a strange smile, which seemed to be contemptuous but also admirable.Rong Yu felt strange, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "You have worked hard on your knees for half a day, get up and answer."

Zhiqi fell to the ground, kowtowed his head, and then slowly said: "Princess Xuanji is the daughter of Empress Xiaocheng, have you heard of Empress Xiaocheng?" Rong Yu said: "Of course I have, Empress Xiaocheng is The daughter of General Yuwen, General Yuwen will assist the three monarchs, such as Shang Tang Yiyin, who has made great contributions to this dynasty."

Zhiqi said: "Empress Xiaocheng is the daughter of General Yuwen, that's right. General Yuwen is a hero. Entrusted by Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, he successively assisted the three emperors Qingyi, Qingjia, and Qingluo. They are all loyal and loyal. They can be called pure ministers. He was bullied by women in his later years..." Zhiqi looked up at Rong Yu and said:
"General Yuwen has only married two wives in his life. The first wife's surname is Xie. My wife must have heard the Jiangzuo people's saying: Marry a wife and marry a daughter of Xie's family. General Yuwen's first wife is from Jiangzuo Xie's family. The eldest daughter was named Feng, who was born in the official family of Shangshu. There was a daughter named Shu who entered the palace at the age of six. She was Empress Xiaojia after Emperor Yi of the Qing Dynasty. , gave birth to a daughter named Ye, the Xie family wanted to overwhelm the limelight of the predecessor, and vowed to send the young girl to the palace. Unexpectedly, Emperor Luo of the Qing Dynasty already had a wife among the people. It is Empress Xiaocheng.

——Does your empress know the identity of Princess Xuanji now? "

Zhiqi's narration is less than a hundred words, and Rong Yu's hands are already sweating layer by layer. She is in a place of conspiracy, so she can naturally see the key point at a glance: General Yuwen is praised as a pure minister, but it is just It’s just that he didn’t take away the throne by himself. Emperor Qing Yi came to the throne at a young age. It is said that he was a dragon and a phoenix, and he was a hero, but he died suddenly at the age of 15, that is, the year before he took office. Emperor Qing Jia reigned on the 27th day. , When Emperor Luo of the Qing Dynasty came to the throne, he endured the hatred of his wife being killed, and married the daughter of the general, so that he could die.The bloody danger during this period is beyond description.

Rong Yu let out a long sigh, and said: "I understand, Princess Mingyue is not favored, so the matter in Youzhou is that the princess got the power of King Ping Yi, and the power obtained by King Ping Yi is far less than the power that the princess got from King Ping Yi." .”

Zhiqi smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Minghui. There are rumors in the world that Liu Yi's background is a bit strange, and he doesn't know where he got a huge fortune. He was able to recruit soldiers and horses to protect Youzhou when the army was overwhelming. , That's why he will be promoted in the future, and he will rise to the top. And the origin of his wealth is hidden in the seven portraits of Xuanji."

Hearing the last sentence, Rong Yu felt a heat in his chest, and spat out a mouthful of hot blood.

Zhiqi called out in alarm: "Niang Niang!" He was about to call someone, but suddenly a hand came to hold her down and said: "No need."Zhiqi said: "Your Majesty is pregnant with a dragon seed, so you must not be careless!"

Right now Rong Yu's face was like gold paper, he couldn't even speak, he just tugged on Zhiqi's sleeve to signal her not to call anyone.Zhiqi had no choice but to help her to lie down on the soft couch, and hurriedly called hot water to wipe her body. After half a cup of tea, she finally calmed down and said, "Zhiqi, you were born in a wealthy family, and you are an adult. Afterwards, he only lived in the palace, where did these worldly affairs come from?"

Zhiqi knelt down and said: "Zhiqi can tell your mother everything and everything, but..."

Rong Yu saw her gaze fixed on her abdomen, so he naturally understood what she meant, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhiqi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The mother of the servant girl is originally from the Jianghu."

Rong Yu groaned, turned over and lay down, muttered: "Actually, you don't need to tell me... that's fine, you go down and rest first."

Xin Yu didn't come to Cuihu Residence that night, it is said that he went to Concubine Qi's Lingyue Palace, but he sent Eunuch Xu to bring fresh fruits over.

As the night gradually deepened, weaving mothers' cries came from outside, one after another, long and short, short and long.Rong Yu remembered when she was very young, her mother hugged her and sat in the yard, surrounded by the dark shadows of the trees, the weaver girl kept screaming in the grass, and the fireflies flew back and forth with the little lanterns, and her mother shook her slowly. Fan, the wind coming out of the fan is slow and tight, it can't relieve the heat, but it makes people feel a little irritable, and I don't know when this dull summer will end.

At this moment, there was a sound from the chai door, Xiao Rongyu half-closed his eyes, and muttered, "Mother, is father back?" The mother lowered her head and smiled at her.

Rong Yu suppressed his own memories, got out of bed and lit the fire, the candle lighted up tremblingly, Rong Yu then spread the portrait of Princess Xuanji on the desk, the candle light flickered on and off, the painted woman's face was quite different in the light and dark Strangely, Rong Yu held the candlelight and looked at the scroll carefully from top to bottom. After looking at it for more than half an hour, he suddenly tilted his hand, and saw that the candle tears were about to drip onto Princess Xuanji's dress. Suddenly stretched out a hand out of thin air, candle tears fell on the back of the hand.

Candle tears condensed into a very thin film on the back of the hand, translucent white, with lines clearly visible underneath.

Rong Yu sat down on the couch and said, "You're here." The candlelight flickered, her tone was so calm, as if she had been waiting for a long time, and she wasn't even half surprised.

The black-robed man's eyes fell on the screen, and he whispered: "Do you really want to know her secret?"

Rong Yu's heart tightened, she didn't believe that he would tell her the secret of Princess Xuanji for no reason, just because she looked like that woman named Lin Lang?He was like an omniscient devil, maybe she could get what she wanted to know from him, but she didn't know what price she would pay.

When she was hesitating, her eyes naturally lowered, but the man in black asked again: "Do you want to?"

Rong Yu clenched his fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't dare."

The corners of the black-robed man's mouth twitched - if it weren't for the horror of the two black holes on his face, Rong Yu almost thought he was smiling.The man in black stared at the portrait and said softly, "She is different from Lin Lang."

"Of course it's different. She is the proud daughter of heaven, with golden branches and jade leaves, what is Lin Lang?" Rong Yu said coldly.She knew that in the eyes of the man in black, no one in the world could match his junior sister, but he couldn't refute what she said.

She thought he would be furious, but he didn't. He stared at her with almost pity, and said softly: "They are different, but it has nothing to do with their identities. Princess Xuanji is a legend, while Lin Lang is just a knife.

The first time I met Princess Xuanji was 20 years ago..."

20 years ago, he was just a teenager, dressed in black and masked, struggling to survive in the unknown shadows.Someone once told him that your eyes are as sharp as the light of a knife.Yes, he grew up like this, every day when he opened his eyes, he would remind himself that there are some people watching him, if you don't kill him, he will definitely kill you.

At first he was terrified, those people were powerful and perfect, and they were high above them, he couldn't see their weaknesses, and he didn't have the certainty of hitting them.His nerves were like taut strings, on the verge of breaking every moment.

It was a spring evening, the sun was about to end, the wind was soft, there was the smell of green grass, and the smell of blood.After Xiangyang Slope is the Xingzi Forest, everyone in the capital knows that Xingzi Forest is strange, if there is no unusual event, they can't enter it.

At this time, he was already at the end of his strength, and he knew very well in his heart that the injuries on his body would definitely be unbearable. He could die, but he could not reveal his identity.

Those who pursued and killed him were King Qin's slain warriors, ghosts and monsters, known as the Four Ghosts by people in the Jianghu.It is said that the four of them came from the same school and each had their own strengths. A few years ago, they ran across the south of the Yangtze River, and they were all courteous in black and white, but for some reason they worshiped under Lord Qin's school.

He knew that they didn't dare to check his identity, all they wanted was a silent corpse.

If King Qin saw his dead body, he would probably wake up laughing from his dream, but he would not let him see it.He sneered and entered the apricot forest.

The flowers in the apricot grove were still fragrant, but for some unknown reason, they fell to the ground one after another, the pink and white fallen leaves spread out, and the bright red blood and black clothes were particularly eye-catching.The body is only in this shape, and the four ghosts follow him like a shadow, occupying all directions and surrounding him. At this time, they don't need formations, and even don't need much strength. They can kill him with a few moves— —They thought so, and they did.

All of a sudden, the frail young man who they all thought would fall suddenly jumped up and kicked out three legs in a row like lightning. The three legs were powerful and sharp, and a tree fell down in the apricot forest. On the big tree, Chi's ax cut off one of Yao's left hands, Mei's knife came out, and a very thin knife was stuck in Ying's chest, the blade reflected the light of the setting sun, like five colors, very eye-catching .

The three ghosts' gazes touched the handle of the knife, and a look of extreme fear suddenly appeared on their faces. They looked at each other, and they all flinched—but they all knew in their hearts that the matter had already passed. There is no way out, no matter who the young man in front of him is, if he doesn't die, they will die.The four of them practiced martial arts in the same school, and they were connected with each other. Regardless of the dying demon, the ghost raised his sword and was about to kill the exhausted young man by the sword——

A puff of very light smoke drifted over from Xingzilin, very light green. The four ghosts and the young man were extremely vigilant characters, but the four ghosts wanted to kill the young man wholeheartedly, and the only thought of the black-clothed boy was not to reveal his identity , so no one noticed, the smoke floated over lightly, spreading along the smell of blood, the ghost felt that the knife in his hand suddenly became heavier, as heavy as Mount Tai, and he couldn't hold it anymore. He wanted to raise his head in horror, but he couldn't even Even such a simple action can no longer be done.He was terrified in his heart, and suddenly a thought flashed through him: I am probably going to die here.Before thinking about it, the person had already fallen limply, the knife landed on the boy's chest, the boy let out a muffled grunt, and also passed out.

A woman in green clothes came out from behind the tree, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very handsome face, only a pair of dark eyes, haunted by ghosts.She was stunned for a moment, instead of looking at the injuries of the five people, she went straight to Lingyao's side, pulled the knife out of his chest, looked at the setting sun for a long time, finally sighed, and wiped the knife away from Lingyao's clothes He hid the blood on his sleeve, then walked to the boy, bent over to feel his pulse.

Unexpectedly, when the hand was put on, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, clasped her pulse door with his palm, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

The girl stared at his face and asked back, "Don't you know who I am!"

The young man's breath weakened, and the hand holding the pulse door fell weakly. He didn't continue to ask, but said: "These four people... can't stay." These two sentences have exhausted his mind, even if he still wants to Saying anything is also powerless, so I just tried my best to keep my eyes open and watch the four ghosts in a coma.The girl understood what he meant, with a look of unbearable expression on her face, but without hesitation, she picked up the tiger-head knife on the boy's chest, and ended her life one by one.

The girl turned around, and the boy passed out again. Maybe the string hanging in his heart has been broken and there is no way to continue.

At this time the moon had already come out, the night was very dark, and the clouds around the moon were dyed a bright silver color. The girl walked back and forth a few steps, seemingly hesitant, finally gritted her teeth, picked up the boy, raised her breath, and swept west past.

To the west of Xingzilin is the residence of Pingyi Wang Liuyi.

"That girl... is Lin Lang?" Rong Yu, who had been listening quietly, interrupted and asked, thinking that since Lin Lang lived in Prince Yi's Mansion for a long time, she naturally knew Princess Xuanji.

The man in black tapped his fingers on the table, but did not answer.

When he woke up, it was already dark, and he found himself lying on the bed. All he could see were carved beams and painted buildings, beautiful and beautiful, and all the things on the bed were not ordinary households.For a moment I thought: Could it be that the woman in Tsing Yi is the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital?Thinking again: She will make the poison of sparse shadow, so naturally it has a lot to do with Tangmen...

Thinking of this, I forced myself to stand up and opened the bed curtain to look around. The room was not very big. There was a dressing table under the window sill, and a light blue curtain hung on it, the color of bamboo, very elegant.The few things on the dressing table are the combs, mirrors, eyebrow pencils, rouges and other things commonly used in the boudoir. The containers are all exquisite, colorful but not lavish.There is a qin platform next to it, on which is a Guqin, the qin is Fuxi style, the whole body is painted with purple lacquer, but it is not vulgar, and there is a slanted flute hanging on the wall, the color is black, but it has no brilliance.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking of a person, but that person was originally a legendary figure, how could his flute become a wall decoration for a boudoir girl?Could it be that I was wrong.Even though I thought so, I couldn't rest assured, got out of bed, and reached out to pick it off.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, one heavy and one light, obviously two people approached.

Before I finished thinking, I heard a woman's voice outside the door, who sounded angry: "Little prince, can you stop following me?" It seemed annoyed and helpless, but it seemed that she was more coquettish than angry.

He wondered how stern he looked on that girl last night, he didn't want to be a master who was greedy for wealth and status.He lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn't know which prince it was... If he forced his way in and saw him, it would be inconvenient.Thinking of this, I was eager to find a hiding place, but there were very few shelters in the small room, only the corner wardrobe seemed to be acceptable...

He hid in the closet, he couldn't help laughing, those books full of obscenity and robbers, when a talented man and a beautiful woman have a tryst, the beautiful woman often hides the talented man in the closet, I don't want to fall into such absurd situation today.His smile touched the wound, and he grinned in pain.

But someone outside the door said: "When did I want to follow you, am I afraid of my father? It doesn't matter if you sneak out to play, don't let my father find out if you have the ability, good girl, you have hurt me today , I've been with you all night, please listen to the music." It was actually a very rambunctious tone.

The voice was very familiar, he thought about it carefully, and it turned out to be the voice of Liu Yan, the young prince of Pingyi Palace.

Pingyi's throne is high and powerful, but the little prince is not crowned king for some reason. The government and the public know that the little prince has a bold temperament, treats friends very sincerely, and is not keen on women's sex, but they don't know what magic power the girl has, so that the little prince It's very flattering to be so humble.Immediately he thought: If Liu Yan really obeyed that girl, it would be like adding an arm.Thinking again: What is the identity of this young girl? The fact that she is not in the mansion has alarmed Prince Yi, and the young prince is accompanying him—could it be Prince Yi's concubine?I heard that Prince Yi also had a time when he was young and flirtatious, but since he married Princess Xuanji, he hasn't had any absurd things. What's more, if he is really Prince Yi's concubine, Liu Yan might not have the guts to call her a good girl. The identity of the girl is really strange.

The girl burst out laughing, "Someone is glib, as if I was the only one who was arrested that day—wasn't it because I played a tune for Shaoxiang Qin, how can a little prince make such a shameless person like you. As long as you go to the market and shout, the little prince of Yiwangfu wants to listen to the music, and the musicians and singers from all over the world don’t flock to crowd the palace? It also prevents the little prince from rushing to the door to ask for the music. "

Liu Yan said: "Now you are willing to laugh, who was the one who put on a straight face like everyone owed her eight hundred dollars?" Talking and laughing, as if making this girl laugh is the most important thing in the world.
