Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 84
Chapter 7: Snow Leng Mei End
The two of them were not very far away from Qingfang Garden. After a while, Su Mi followed the old road and returned to the garden without any danger, hiding among the crowd.

Everyone was already exhausted, most of them hugged the trees, flowers and rocks and dozed off, and the few who were sober were also haggard and absent-minded. No one was in the mood to meddle in their own business and pay attention to a face-to-face eunuch.

Su Mi still sat down under the tree.

After a while, I heard the laughter of several loud Liao soldiers from a distance, "You are credited, kid. Next time you have a good job, you will be counted first. You don't have to fight against the stone." A bearded man Liaojun carried a large jar on his shoulder, and patted Xiaoluzi's shoulder with his free other hand, smiling.

The rest of the people were also carrying the big altar of fine wine, Su Mi recognized that it was a few jars of wine brought by Xiao Luzi and the others from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a long time ago because she occasionally mentioned that she wanted to drink.After getting it, my interest was gone again, so I kept throwing it in the corner of the warehouse without moving.

Several people passed by here, Xiao Luzi turned his head inadvertently, saw Su Mi, and his face suddenly changed color.

After moving the wine jar into the main hall, Xiao Luzi took a chance and ran out.

"Master, why are you..." Seeing that no one around was paying attention, he asked anxiously in a low voice.

"It's nothing, something happened just now, I asked Prince Yu to leave first," Su Mi comforted, "He will make arrangements after he goes out, so I naturally have other ways to leave."

"I see. I said that the prince is not such a ruthless person and will not abandon you, master." Xiao Luzi sighed, patting his chest lightly.

"Won't abandon me," Su Mi's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the scene of him jumping off the palace wall with her during the day, she originally thought he was an absolutely practical and indifferent person.Then, thinking of the promise he whispered in her ear just now, she couldn't help feeling hot in her heart, she shook her head slightly, and turned her face away.

The next day, the Liao Army came to dispatch the palace servants, and the Liao Army's little leader meant what he said, and sent Xiao Luzi and several people including Su Mi to serve the Liao Army generals. To most people who do coolies on their heads, it is a world of difference.

The snowflakes from the sky began to fall again.

The snow that started to fall since last night, although the snow grains are small, is continuous and scattered, and now a thick layer has been laid.

Su Mi looked out from the corner window where the servants were resting, and her gaze stayed on the corpse in front of the yard that had been placed for two days and one night.

Because of the cold weather, her face did not change at all, but a layer of faint frost formed on it, making her pale skin as crystal clear as ice and snow, looking through layers of snow curtains, it was as gorgeous as jade clean.

Su Mi's thoughts fluttered, and she couldn't help recalling the scene two days ago.

The most central and most solemn Fengyi Palace in the harem naturally became the bedroom of the commander of the Liao Army.

On that day, Su Mi and several internal eunuchs were brought here to serve. Maybe these people who have experienced wars and slaughters will eagerly desire to enjoy everything in the country they conquered, whether it is women, gold or silver, Or everyday luxury.

Su Mi and the others walked into the main hall, and they saw many concubines from Daqi's harem lined up in the hall.On the seats on both sides are the high-ranking generals of the Liao army.The table was full of wine, meat and cream, but none of them focused their attention on the delicious wine and food in front of them. Their greedy eyes were impatiently watching the beauties and beautiful faces in the palace.While commenting and commenting in a low voice from time to time, the foul language continued.The few concubines who were close to the ground were already so frightened that their faces paled just by hearing such words, and wept softly one by one.

After a while, Yeluxin, the coach of the Liao Army, arrived, his face flushed and his expression happy.In his arms, he was still hugging a young girl in green clothes, with a graceful and charming figure.

She was talking in Yelvxin's ear, and Yelvxin laughed amusedly by her.When she walked into the hall, she turned her head and smiled softly, soft and charming, like a bright moon shining brightly in the sky, in an instant, the spring scenery in the room dimmed.

It turned out to be Shi Rou'er who I haven't seen for a long time.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She has lost a lot of weight. I'm afraid that the life in the palace has been very unsatisfactory in the past six months.

After the two sat down, Shi Rou'er raised the wine pot wrapped with golden flowers, and filled the jade cup in her hand.Those slender hands are softer than the suet white jade wine glass, and more moving than the golden jug.

She handed the wine glass to Yelvxin's hands, and every move she made was tactful, fragrant, sparkling and radiant, making a difference.

The eyes of all the generals fell on her involuntarily, "Sure enough, she is an extremely beautiful woman. Your Majesty is really lucky this time." "That's right, no wonder I got up so late today." Su Mi heard The two Liao people who were close to the ground whispered.The sound of a few particularly lecherous Liao people swallowing their saliva could reach Su Mi's ears.

After the coach took his seat, everyone looked forward to him.

Yeluxin took the fine wine from Shi Rouer, drank it all in one gulp, glanced at the anxious faces of the generals, laughed loudly, and said: "This king knows that you are already impatient. Yes. You were not allowed to touch this group of women yesterday because I said earlier that these women are the most talented, so they will naturally be assigned according to their military merits. Today in this hall, I will assign these women."

"My Daqi's concubine is so honorable, how can you and other barbarians insult her?" Just as Yelvxin finished speaking, a haughty and beautiful voice sounded.

Standing in the corner of the room, Su Mi, who was fiddling with the stove with Xiao Luzi, knew without looking up that the empress must be the one with such a proud and solemn tone.

"Hmph, your Da Qi has long since perished, so where is the Da Qi? Now you are just a group of subjugated women." Yelvxin replied indifferently.

"Who said our Daqi has fallen?" The queen raised her brows, and she looked at Yeluxin who was sitting high on the stage with disdain, and looked at the generals of the Liao army who were watching all around, "Now our emperor of Daqi is leading the army. The imperial conquest is about to conquer Nanchen, and the teacher will return to Beijing. At that time, you mobs will be in trouble at home and abroad, how can you be your opponent?"

"Haha," Yelvxin laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Do you think that your incompetent trash emperor has a chance to come back? Stop dreaming. Now he can't protect himself , where is the time to save you?"

There was a low and frightened cry from the concubines in the palace.

The queen's expression did not waver in the slightest, "You are also a general of the barbarians. Don't you know that we Han people have a saying that 'victory and defeat are a common matter in military affairs'. Our Daqi has a vast territory, so how can we stick to a single city? You say we are big? Qi has destroyed the country, but apart from this capital, have you ever been to our Daqi? Have you captured our Daqi city?"

Yelvxin seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "Hmph, she's just an ignorant woman, don't you think that our Liao people's iron cavalry is just trapped in a small capital?"

Ignoring his words, the queen smiled confidently: "Our Great Qi has been established for many years. Our ancestors fought and killed many times. We have experienced many thrilling defeats. How could we be defeated by your temporary invasion? Not only our emperor, Every one of our people in Daqi will not sit back and watch your bandits invade."
"Didn't your country of Qi invade other countries? You keep claiming that we are robbers." A general of the Liao army in the seat raised his voice and asked back.

The queen smiled calmly, "Our Great Qi naturally conquered all directions, and our martial arts are world-class, and there are countless women in those countries. Even though they are enemy countries, I respect and admire them."

"Even if you admire them, it was your country of Qi who forced them to death."

The queen smiled and said: "I am a woman who doesn't know the important affairs of the country. I only know about my husband and the country. I only know that I, Wang Ningqiu, is the queen of Daqi, married to the king of Daqi, and is supported by Daqi's salary. If you are honored and honored by Daqi, and loved by the people of Daqi, then you must not lose the prestige of our Daqi, what should we do with other countries?"

The general of the Liao Army was dumbfounded for a moment.

"You Han people often say that those who know practical things are heroes. Now these words are just right for the occasion. If you don't want to serve us in Daliao, do you want to die?" Yeluxin said mockingly, looking at the concubines behind the queen.

The concubines were swept away by his gaze, and all lowered their heads timidly.

"National ceremonies must not be mourned. You savages who drink blood, don't you know what shame and integrity are? If you want us to serve you robbers, don't even think about it." The queen smiled contemptuously.

Ye Luxin was furious at what she said, he stretched out his arms to embrace Shi Rou'er, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, didn't your concubines of Daqi serve our soldiers of Daliao long ago?"

A trace of imperceptible disgust flashed across Shi Rou'er's face, and then she returned to calm and coquettish.

The queen gave her a contemptuous look, "A shameless person who doesn't know etiquette and self-love, how can he be worthy of being my concubine? It's hard to be worthy of going to the Ancestral Temple of Sheji after death.

Hmph, Sheji Ancestral Temple, what use am I for such a vain thing?
However, contempt appeared in Shi Rou'er's eyes. She held up the wine pot and slowly poured fine wine into the jade cup, while laughing softly: "Your Majesty, please don't compare your concubine with the Empress. Your Majesty It is extremely noble, and it is beyond the reach of humble girls like me." He raised his wine glass high and said softly: "Your Majesty should not persecute Your Majesty, she is actually a sensible person, as long as Your Majesty shows righteousness..."

"What is righteousness?" The Queen seemed unwilling to listen to a word, and interrupted Shi Rou'er's words in a raised voice, "The despicable ones go on a journey of chasing smells, and they work in collusion. Those who clean themselves up are like swords and axes. You can't change your ambitions."

Yeluxin was furious immediately, "How dare you refuse to follow the current situation? Daqi has long been subjugated, so you want to be martyred?! Then this king will fulfill you, just let them all die." !"

Hearing the word "death", many concubines behind the queen shivered.They are still young and beautiful girls, born with gold and jade, their paths are destined to be bright and glorious, and their lives are destined to be full of silk and pearls.Blood and killing are far away and illusory to them. The only thing they need to worry about is how much or how little their husband loves them, and how to get more glory.The word death is so far away from their lives, but now the cruel reality puts everything they are least willing to face naked in front of them, so abrupt that they are caught off guard.

Shi Rou'er raised her head, and she looked at the concubines who kept shrinking back with a mocking and sneering look.

Without skin, there will be no hair attached.

The queen smiled sadly, and said: "People are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death?" She turned around, with a cold determination in her eyes, she scanned the concubines behind her, and said slowly: "Today My Daqi suffered such a catastrophe, and we women can do nothing but know the etiquette and keep the rules. Rather than being humiliated by thieves, it is better to go to death calmly, never flattering, and ruining the reputation of the emperor and the family. "

All the concubines had weeping expressions on their faces.But he dared not meet her eyes.

The queen just smiled sadly and said nothing. The generals of the Liao army had already seen her intentions and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. Before those hands reached her, her clothes were flying, and people rushed towards the people beside her like arrows. Pillar.

Amidst the exclamations of the timid concubines, the blood flowed down the smooth forehead. On this day of the first month of the first year of Tiantong, in this winter of snow and ice, the life of Empress Daqi followed the bright red blood. Gone.

The beauty of Fengyi Palace is still there, but her master has fallen in such a tragic and decisive way.

Shi Rou'er was still pouring wine for Yelvxin calmly, her manner was soft and slow, her eyes were charming.

Su Mi was throwing a piece of charcoal into the stove, and the bright red flames rose up. Through the dancing flames, she saw her figure was like a moth flying towards the flame. To this furnace, not to the cold pillar.

A trace of sparks burst out from the flames, and then disappeared.She heard Xiao Luzi's voice reminding her, "Master...Xiao Lianzi, the firewood is added too fast..."

Yelvxin was very angry, and ordered that the queen's body be discarded at the gate of the palace and not buried, as a warning to the concubines and concubines of Qi Palace.

The banquet was re-opened, and the gold cups were fragrant, and the concubines in the field were ordered to serve tea and wine for the generals.

The concubines trembled and hesitated, Yeluxin was furious, pointing to the dead body of the queen in the courtyard and asked, "Whoever refuses to evade, just go and be her companion!"

Although the concubines were full of resentment, they trembled all over when they saw the dead body of the queen discarded in the yard, and dared not speak.

Finally, a Liao general couldn't bear it any longer, and stretched out his hand to grab a concubine. The concubine screamed and was pulled into his arms, but she didn't dare to struggle after all.Immediately, there was chaos in the arena, and amidst bursts of wanton laughter, all the generals left the table one after another, dragging all the concubines they liked to the table.

The concubines are all young women, how can they break free.After a stalemate, he dared not speak out and obeyed with tears in his eyes.

Su Mi and a dozen young eunuchs bowed their heads and were in charge of serving food and running errands, without anyone paying attention.

The days have continued without incident until today.

"Master, be careful of catching a cold." Xiao Luzi just came back from serving in the hall, walked into the room, and saw Su Mi looking into the yard with ecstasy, and followed suit.

Seeing the corpse where the queen was still abandoned, he couldn't help but sighed softly.

The snowflakes gradually became bigger, like goose feathers, and swayed down from the sky.It was white all around, and the soldiers guarding outside ran down the lookout because they couldn't bear the cold, and rushed into the house to keep warm, and no one around them paid attention.

A natural impulse made Su Mi go out, and the thick snow made a "creak" sound under her feet, accompanied by the "rustling" sound of falling snowflakes around her, interweaving into a strange tranquility.She came to the queen's side and looked at the woman who had been mostly covered by snow.

Her expression is peaceful and determined, the blood on her forehead has not been wiped off, but it has been covered by light snowflakes, rosy and white, bright and clear.

Looking at the dew-like face, Su Mi stretched out her hand and tidied up the skirts of her clothes that were scattered due to being dragged.That snow-covered gold-red embroidered neon dress looked more dazzling than ever before. She had such a heart to go to death calmly, so she put on such clothes on purpose...

In the palace a few steps away, the sound of scattered silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and laughter came alternately.

Fengyi Palace was more lively and joyous than before, but its real owner closed his eyes forever in front of the door, and melted into the snowflakes in the sky.

Su Mi stood up, she looked into the distance, the sky was gloomy with dark clouds, only thousands of snowflakes shone like stars, drifting in the air, and silence filled her eyes.She stood alone in this bustling but dilapidated palace, and a kind of coldness and loneliness that she had never had before came to her heart.
