The queen must start from the head

Chapter 148 came to an abrupt end
It was the night before Mu Lian came to Zuo Xiangfu.

Bi Ying was sitting on the bed in her bedroom, facing her wife, each silent.

The candlelight flickered from time to time, and the candlelight lightly passed over Mrs. Zuo Xiang's face like a silver plate.

After a long time, Mrs. Zuo Xiang broke the silence first.

She asked in a hoarse voice, "Husband, I married you when I was 16 years old and became a mother at 20. In the past [-] years, I have given birth to five sons for you. Inside, I have managed the house in an orderly manner, raising my husband and raising my children." Outside, I went to the hall and supported the facade of the Prime Minister's house with one hand. I, I did not do well at all? Did I feel sorry for you at all? "

Bi Ying silently shook her head.

No, my wife is a rare and virtuous housemate, without her to manage the backyard in an orderly manner, I would not be able to get to where I am today.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang said again, "Since my concubine has nothing to do to my husband, why did you abandon me?"

"I didn't intend to abandon you." Bi Ying finally spoke.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang heard his reply, but her tears couldn't stop falling, "If you didn't have something to do, why did you send Zhen'er and the five of them away? Now you want to persuade me to go, it's obvious that you have something to hide I, don't want me to know. You and I are one body, if you hide it from me like this, it's not abandoning me, what is it?"

"Madam, just trust me, I let you go for your own good. Zhen'er and the others are also..."

"If you really do it for my own good, then let me stay!"

"Ma'am, you, why are you doing this, alas..." Hearing this, Bi Ying couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing that her husband showed signs of letting go, Mrs. Zuo Xiang was about to say something more, when suddenly her head began to dizzy, and before she passed out, she suddenly remembered the cup of tea that her husband handed to her after entering the room.I was suddenly annoyed in my heart, but it was too late to be annoyed at this time.

Looking at his wife lying in his arms, Zuo Xiang, who had always been cold or elegant, finally revealed a little tenderness on his face.

He gently stroked his wife's hair and kissed her eyebrows.

Then, he summoned two nuns with martial arts background guarding the door, and asked them to take Mrs. Zuo Xiang, who had fallen asleep, to board the carriage that had already parked in the backyard of the Prime Minister's mansion, and told them to leave the imperial city immediately, as soon as possible. the better.

During the long night, Bi Ying wore a robe and sat directly on the threshold in front of the house, looking up at the stars in the summer night.

The butler of the Xiangfu went to the kitchen and brought him some food and wine.

Facing the starry sky, the two drank wine and ate food silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Bi Ying drank too much and passed out completely.

The butler carried him back to the house and guarded him overnight.

He knew that the master had something on his mind, and it was a big deal.

He originally thought that this incident was related to the disciples of the Wushuang Sect.

It wasn't until the next day, when he heard the news that Mu Sheng had come to the mansion, and Xiang Ye dismissed him again, that he realized that it might be Xiang Ye himself who was going to have an accident this time.

Sure enough, a servant soon came to report to him, and the group of literati and scholars in the flower hall all ran to the guest room.

When he hurried to the guest room, he happened to see the scene where Master Xiang was stabbed in the abdomen and lying in the arms of a scholar covered in blood.

A group of scholars who witnessed Mu Sheng's "murder" all looked at the woman standing in front of them with different expressions.

Mu Lian didn't look at the faces of these people at all, she just looked down at Bi Ying whose breath was gradually weakening.

"Is it worth it for you to do this?"

Her voice was not loud, but it could easily reach Bi Ying's ears.

The latter opened his eyes with difficulty, pointing in the direction of Mu Lian with his bloody right hand, while still trembling slightly.

"Mo Sheng, why on earth are you, why did you kill me..."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding scholars changed completely when they looked at Mu Lian.

The other party is now a murderer!
Even if the opponent is a saint, the Left Prime Minister of a country can't just be killed like this, right?

If one has the strength and status to be able to do whatever one wants, what is the law of the king and the law of heaven?
Seeing that the other party poured dirty water on her body until the moment before she died, Mu Lian only felt that Bi Ying at this moment was both pathetic and pitiful.

"In your life, you have set an example as a scholar, served as prime minister and left prime minister, and you can be said to be very proud of yourself. But in my opinion, you have lived a useless life! As an official, you cannot make decisions for the people. You only care about It is better to be a country farmer than to fight for power and gain in the court! Bi Ying, in your life, have you ever rescued even one innocent person in jail or a poor person? And have you ever done anything to benefit the country and the people? Something?"

Mu Lian's words deeply hurt Bi Ying's heart. He had few breaths left, but when she was aroused by her words, he opened his mouth and spat out a few pools of blood.

All the scholars glared at Mu Lian one after another.

Song Zixiang glared at Mu Lian with red eyes and said, "Enough! You murderer, you are already going to kill Mr. Zuo Xiang, do you still want him to die?!"

Mu Lian quietly looked at Bi Ying, who could only vent her anger at this time, and ignored the anger of Song Zixiang and others.

In her opinion, this resourceful prime minister shouldn't just die like this.

Even if the other party can be said to be her enemy, she doesn't want to see the other party die under the scheme of conspiracy.

"Bi Ying, your death is worthless at all." Mu Lian said.

By now, she had already seen the trap set by the other party.

As long as Bi Ying dies, the group of scholars who witnessed their "killing" of Bi Ying today will definitely criticize themselves, and then use the public opinion to make her a condemnation.

In the past in Tianhai City, everyone in the city wanted to expel her, and even an old woman pointed at her nose and yelled at her.

But so what?

She, Mu Lian, has not yet reached the point where she needs others to guide her.

She has a steelyard in her heart, and she has her own principles in how she behaves and does things. Even if other people don't understand, what can she do?Although there are thousands of people, I will go too!
At that time, Bi Ying, who was in Song Zixiang's arms, finally breathed her last breath.

But his eyes are still wide open, and he is truly unwilling to die.Obviously, what Mu Lian said gave him a big blow.

Song Zixiang reached out and touched Bi Ying's eyelids, touched them a few times, and then closed them for him.

He didn't know that at the moment before his death, Bi Ying saw many people and remembered many things.

At that year, Bi Ying was still a child in enlightenment.

In the school, the master was teaching Mencius the story of meeting Teng Wengong, and Bi Ying was asked by the master to answer questions.

"Bi Ying, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"

"Master, I want to be a man!"

"Oh, why is that?"

"To live in the world, to establish the right position in the world, to walk the way of the world. Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued. From now on, I will be such a man!"

"Okay, okay, really ambitious! Bi Ying, when you become a high school official in the future, don't forget your original intention today! To be an official, you have to make decisions for the people! You have to remember this !"

But Master, I forgot. Ever since I became a high official, I have forgotten all those words I said before.

I did not save an innocent person who was imprisoned. Instead, I made accusations and caused countless political opponents to be imprisoned.

I have never done anything that benefits the country and the people, but I always want to sell the whole country to a stronger country in exchange for a better future...

Master, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for myself...

At the corners of Bi Ying's closed eyes, there were two lines of moist tears, falling silently.

And his life, also at this moment, came to an abrupt end.

The powerful prime minister in the past, and today's generation of left ministers, just passed away like this.
