a pillow in autumn

The fire gradually turned into a boiling trend, and countless noisy voices calling for help came from outside the bedroom, running back and forth, even covering up the sound of fighting between the soldiers and the guards.

Or, the winner has already been decided.

Tengshe was very close to Shen Lan, surrounded by hot flames, he could see his facial features clearly, they were so familiar, as if they were born with him, and he had had them before.

The sword just now could have pierced his heart, but he must not live, but at the moment of life and death, the long sword paused slightly for unknown reasons, slipped down a few inches, and pierced his stomach.

It was as if his hands were faster than his heart, and in the dark, he didn't want to take his life.

Teng Snake supported Shen Lan's shoulders, surrounded by a sea of ​​flames, and Prince Rui's voice came indistinctly through the smoke, like the waves of a river hitting the shore through the waves.

"Shen Lan." She stepped forward pressing the sword, her tone was obviously worried and anxious.

Teng Snake looked up at her, there was a pair of bright star eyes under Wang Rui Qingjuan's long eyebrows, bold and firm.

Where have I seen such eyes.

Tengshe frowned, pressed her head violently, and in an instant, countless fragments of her thoughts shattered and slid by like a revolving lantern.Growing up together since we were young, our other self is exactly the same, always making troubles and being unscrupulously mischievous; rushing in the snow in the west at night, kneeling on one knee and saying the court motto "Filial piety should do its best, and loyalty should do its best".

Memories, as thin and pure as snowflakes, filled my heart one after another, and finally stayed on a glacier.He opened his eyes, and the rain that day filled the sky like flowers, just like the twinkling sparks of the day, it was heartbreaking.

"Tengsnake!!" Prince Wen turned around from nowhere, and yelled through a long table, his eyes were like snakes, staring straight at Prince Rui, and said sharply: "Tengsnake! Kill her! Kill Rui king."

Tengshe slowly lowered Shen Lan who had fainted, trying not to touch his wound.He picked up Shen Lan's long sword on the ground and stood up straight.

Zhou Mubai took a step back holding the sword, with a guarded look on his face.

A personal guard of Prince Wen's Mansion fell a few steps during the fight, happened to retreat to this side, saw a bodyguard of Prince Rui lying on the ground whose life and death were unknown, immediately raised the weapon in his hand, and slashed towards Prince Rui.

Zhou Mubai raised his sword to block, a bunch of brocade wrapped in fireworks on the beam fell to her feet, Mubai had no choice but to avoid it sideways, the enemy blade took advantage of the situation and cut straight down, making a cut on her arm.

Another personal guard of King Wen's Mansion joined the battle group, Zhou Mubai was too busy to take care of his dripping wounds, and was about to fight with his sword.

It's just that the personal guard's weapon has not been able to cut in front of Prince Rui, a long sword at the side, using offense instead of defense, completely blocked his way out.

The guards frantically parried, barely saw the person coming through the smoke, and exclaimed: "Master Teng! Where are you going to fight! I belong to Prince Wen's Mansion!" He flipped the wild goose-wing knife in his hand, opened his eyes and pounced on Zhou Mubai, Dedicated to winning the first prize.

Zhou Mubai was being wrestled with by the blades of another palace guard, she couldn't tell where she was, she gritted her teeth and stepped back three points, intending to avoid the most vital point.

A sharp sword light flashed by his side, it was Tengshe who came to save him with a sword again, Zhou Mubai glanced at it from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were complicated.

"Lord Teng!" The exclamation of the guards of King Wen's Mansion turned into a roar, and with a leap, the goose-winged knife slashed down at the Teng snake from top to bottom.

Tengshe's long sword tangled his blade, turned around and changed hands, the sword swung forward, slanted from his ribs, and pierced into his chest.

The guard's eyes were full of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth slowly overflowed with bright red blood, "Master Teng..."

"I am... Shen Yan." He drew (drawn out) the long sword, with a cold expression, but clearly said every word.Turning around, he helped Zhou Mubai take care of another personal guard of Prince Wen's mansion, Shen Yan protected Zhou Mubai, and retreated to the steps by the wall.

The remaining personal guards of Prince Rui's mansion slowly surrounded them, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, making people dizzy from choking.

"Your Highness! I..."

Just as he was about to make an apology, Zhou Mubai frowned and pressed his shoulders, solemnly commanding: "Don't say anything, take Shen Lan out first!"

"Yes!" Shen Yan tapped acupuncture points around Shen Lan's wound to stop the bleeding, pulled out the long sword, and a few personal guards helped to cover Shen Lan on his back.

"Let's go!" Zhou Mubai pushed a guard in front, and ran out together.

Passing the Louhua Gate, she suddenly looked back and thought of Zhou Muchen.After a pause, she gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the inner hall.

The dragon couch is still there, and the curtains are hanging down.

Zhou Mubai's footsteps suddenly became heavy.

"Brother Huang." She stood beside his brocade couch.

On that day, she left Beijing with her wife and children, and he personally sent her to the city gate and gave her a lamp as a gift.He finally believed in her, and when he was in a crisis, he called her back to King Jingqin, and asked her to be on the side of the king and consolidate the country.But she failed to receive his edict.

After all, she was one step late.

"Brother Huang." Zhou Mubai helped up Mu Chen's cold and stiff body, and wanted to carry him on his back. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was somewhat empty: "Mubai is late. Brother Huang, let's go." Bar."

Shouting voices came from the outer hall, presumably the guards of the palace noticed her absence and rushed to rescue her.

She pursed her lips, hugged Zhou Muchen's armpits from behind, and dragged him out from the depths of the dragon bed.

Suddenly, she felt the sound of wind in the back of her head, and the hot touch hit her. She instinctively turned her head, and a flaming wooden stick suddenly hit her shoulder.

She lowered her hands with a muffled grunt, and looked back to see Zhou Muyu holding a wooden stick made of something ignited in one hand, and holding the bright yellow scroll with the other hand.

"Kill you!" His eyes were intertwined with resentment and desire, and there was a hoot in his mouth: "Kill you! The lonely king is the only son of the first emperor! Kill you! The lonely king can become emperor!"

He brandished a fire stick to kill him chaotically, Zhou Mubai endured the pain in his shoulder, and sideways avoided.

Zhou Muyu missed a single hit, turned around and roared, raising the burning stick again.Zhou Mubai squinted his eyes, kicked his knee, he fell backwards, and fell straight into the dragon couch, his back was caught by something stiff.

Zhou Muyu's chubby face was covered with sweat, he opened his eyes and looked sideways, only to see Zhou Muchen's lifeless eyes staring at him from the void.

"No! No!" He cried out in shock: "Brother Emperor, it wasn't me! I didn't kill you. I didn't kill Father Emperor, I didn't kill Crown Princess. Don't look for me. Don't look for me. He waved the stick in his hand indiscriminately, sporadic beams of fire fell, igniting the brocade quilt on the bed and the hanging curtains.

The guards from the outer hall rushed in, helping Zhou Mubai to protect her from going out.Zhou Mubai was almost suffocated by the thick smoke, and pointed to the dragon couch to speak.

Shen Yan reluctantly glanced at the couch, crying and crying, Prince Wen's whole body was on fire.

He understood what Prince Rui meant, after all it was the flesh and blood of the late emperor, not to mention the remains of Emperor Mu Chen.He took a step forward and was about to risk his life to save them, when the beam of the roof suddenly broke and fell down in the flames.

Beside him was the leader of the personal guards of Prince Rui's residence, and he was very skilled, so he grabbed Shen Yan's arm and pulled it out violently, shouting, a group of people protected Prince Rui, and rushed to the Louhua Gate in a moment.

There was already a sea of ​​flames outside the door.

Shen Yan looked around intently, saw the direction clearly, jumped on a ring chair, kicked open a carved window, the fireworks flickered on his temples and brows, he didn't care, kicked down the window desperately, turned around and supported the subject The injured Zhou Mubai pushed out from between the panes.

It was already late at night when the servants put out the fire, and most of the bedroom was burned to ashes.

Overnight, the emperor passed away, the queen mother passed away, Prince Wen rebelled and set himself on fire (burned), the palace was damaged, all kinds of things came and went, and disappeared before the first ray of dawn fell into the palace in the morning.

Waiting for the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital to bandage the wound, Zhou Mubai only rested for a while, then turned around and went to the ruins of the palace.

The bodies of Zhou Muchen and Zhou Muyu had already been burnt beyond recognition, and they could be identified only by hair crowns, jade pendants and other accessories.The green smoke was still waving, Zhou Mubai stood on the white jade altar, watching the palace people coming and going, he felt desolate.

Achievement and fame, success and failure, in the end are nothing more than a handful of loess.

The morning light was gradually brightening, and the vast sky was boundless blue. Zhou Mubai stood quietly for an unknown how long.

A slender catkin held her cool hand, and she didn't have to turn her head to know that it was her wife.

Mu Bai tightened his palms and held them with Xian Xun's slender fingers.Under the vast blue sky, in front of the golden palace, she was standing on the same level of jade steps with her, she was deeply familiar with the warmth, quietly nestled beside her, the desolation in her heart finally drifted away and dissipated in the In the breeze of the cold winter morning.

All the affairs of the harem are temporarily handed over to the eldest princess Zhou Muge, and they will act according to the ancestral system.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, Zhou Mubai changed into a pure white robe, and led Zhou Yuanyu, who was wearing a plain cotton robe, to Chengjin Hall.

All the ministers and workers in the main hall heard what happened last night, and they were discussing in a low voice.

Eunuch Xiaotuanzi carried Fuchen in his arms, walked out from behind the wall of Ascending Dragon, and sang loudly: "His Royal Highness is here~~~His Royal Highness Prince Rui is here~~~"

The courtiers raised their heads in response, Zhou Mubai took Zhou Yuanyu's hand into the hall, and saw the faces of civil and military officials with different expressions.

"Everything that happened in the palace last night, presumably all of you are aware of it. Now the guilty minister Zhou Muyu has already been put on fire, and other matters can be discussed later. Only the new emperor's succession to the throne is the general rule of the country, and it needs to be decided quickly." Zhou Mubai As he spoke, he took a step back and knelt in front of Zhou Yuanyu: "I respectfully ask Your Majesty to become a great treasure and rule the world."

Zhou Yuanyu was still young, and his actions already looked good. With a serious face, he took half a step forward to support Zhou Mubai's elbow, "Uncle Huang, please get up quickly. In the future, we will have to rely more on the emperor for important affairs in the court." Uncle support."

The courtiers looked at each other when they heard these words.

Minister of the Ministry of War has always been at odds with Prince Rui, at this moment he cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, about assisting the new emperor, does the late emperor have clear instructions?"

"Father has a will. After this king succeeds to the throne, Uncle Rui will oversee the country and govern state affairs!" Zhou Yuanyu held his head high and looked straight at the officials.

The Minister of the Ministry of War did not show weakness, and said in a blunt tone: "Oh? Prince Rui supervises the country? May I ask, where is the edict of the former emperor?"

Zhou Yuanyu raised his bright eyes, together with all the officials, looked at Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mu Baiyu stood on the hall, looked around at the officials, paused, then raised his hand.

Xiao Tuanzi, who had been standing by the side, bowed, took out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing from his bosom, and presented it to the prince respectfully.

The silk is really too thin, through the light, you can see the seal stamped with the jade seal.

The prince took it over and took a closer look, with a stable look on his face, and even the corners of his eyes and brows moved a little.He handed the silk to Xiaotuanzi, and said loudly: "Read!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stretched their necks, and saw Xiaotuanzi's father-in-law spread out the silk, raised the volume, and sang: "By heaven's blessing, the emperor ordered: Recruit King Rui to return to King Qin Qin immediately, and consolidate the country, to the side of the Qing emperor! If anything unexpected happens to me , then Prince Zhou Yuanyu succeeded Prince Rui as his son, and Prince Rui Zhou Mubai ascended the throne in front of his soul, and he will inherit the great rule in the whole world! This is my honor!"
