His Majesty once married me

It was getting late, but the magnificent Yongtai Palace was not as brightly lit as it used to be.

Fortunately, there was a snowfall during the day, and now the snow stopped and the sky cleared up, and the moon also showed its face, reflecting each other's beauty with the white snow on the ground. At last, the palace was not so dark that it could not be seen.However, under the moonlight, the dimly lit buildings also turned the snow into pale white, making the atmosphere here even more gloomy and terrifying.

Ouyang creaked on the snow and walked up the steps step by step.

At this moment, the army of the rebels had approached the city and surrounded the capital for three days.People in the city were in a state of panic, and the palace was already lifeless, but all the eunuchs and court ladies who were well-connected had already run away, and the rest were huddled in the corner of the palace, weeping, how could they remember being on duty for such a trivial matter.The remaining guards were all stationed at the gate of the palace, waiting to fight to the death with the rebel army when they approached the palace.

Ouyang entered the inner hall smoothly all the way, and saw Emperor Xinghe sitting on the dragon chair.

I haven't seen him in seven or eight years. Emperor Xinghe is obviously much older, his temples have been stained with frost, and his face has a withered look. He was only in his forties, but now he looks like an old man with a known destiny.

Of course, the executioner was already standing outside the door. If he still couldn't understand the situation by now, then this person was really stupid and hopeless.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Ouyang coughed lightly, waking Emperor Xinghe up from his out-of-body state.

There was no light in the hall, Emperor Xinghe was slightly taken aback, squinted his eyes, he obviously didn't see Ouyang's face clearly, let alone who he was.

"You..." Emperor Xinghe hesitated for a moment.

Ouyang sighed, snapped his fingers, lit the oil lamp in the main hall with spells, and complained pretending to be unhappy: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few years, even if you can't see me clearly, you can hear me The voice should also remember who I am? Your Majesty—”

"Ouyang?!" As soon as the light came on, Emperor Xinghe finally saw Ouyang's face clearly, and was immediately taken aback, "You...why haven't you changed at all?!"

Although he hadn't seen each other for ten years, Ouyang was less than ten years younger than Xinghedi, and he was only [-] years old now, but his appearance was the same as when he last met ten years ago.

"There is nothing to worry about, you have a good face, and you are born with a baby face." Ouyang smiled slightly, and replied casually, "I can continue to tell you what answer you want."

"...You really haven't changed at all." Emperor Xinghe looked at Ouyang in a daze, and then suddenly realized, "By the way, why are you here?! My palace has been so decayed that anyone can come in and out at will ?"

"It shouldn't be enough, right? The gatekeepers at the gate of the palace are quite conscientious." Ouyang scratched his eyebrows, "I was able to come in because of some tricks."

Emperor Xinghe took a deep breath, and instead of asking what Ouyang's so-called method was, he lowered his face and asked coldly, "So, are you here to be a lobbyist?"

"Ah?" Ouyang was stunned for a moment before he understood what Emperor Xinghe meant, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I have nothing to do with the rebellious army outside, I just came here to see you for the last time on a whim—uh , it should be the last one, right?"

Emperor Xinghe was not angry because of Ouyang's words, but instead laughed inexplicably, "You said, you have nothing to do with the chaos outside?"

"Of course." Ouyang nodded affirmatively, "I don't know what I did? In the past few years, although I left the capital, I didn't get involved in the trivial matters outside, but I just found a place of Taoyuan , self-cultivation. No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it has nothing to do with me."

"Hehehe..." Emperor Xinghe laughed softly, the louder the laughter, the louder it finally turned into a belly laugh.

Ouyang was confused by the laughter, looked at Emperor Xinghe suspiciously, frowned and said: "Is there anything ridiculous about my words? It's rare for me to tell the truth!"

"Ou Aiqing, don't you really know the origin of the chaos outside the city?" Emperor Xinghe stopped laughing, and looked at Ouyang meaningfully, "Who is their leader?"

"It is said that he is a guy who calls himself the king of Dongshan, which means a comeback." Ouyang narrowed his eyes, "Is this person I know?"

"It seems that you really don't know!" Emperor Xinghe smiled again, "This Dongshan King is the wife I bestowed on you—Qi Yunheng!"

——Qi Yunheng? !

Ouyang's expression froze immediately.

Qi Yunheng is the only son of General Wei Guogong of Zhenbei.

After the Duke of Wei died in battle in Beijiang, Qi Yunheng did not wait to accept the Duke's will, but was married to Ouyang, the third son of Uncle Qingyang's family, under a marriage letter.

Giving a man a marriage to another man is simply risking the world's shame.

As soon as the decree of the marriage came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

However, no matter how the officials advised, Emperor Xinghe refused to take back his will, and Duke Wei's Mansion and Uncle Qingyang's Mansion did not resist the decree.

At that time, the political situation in Chengguo was already showing signs of collapse.

There were frequent riots in various places, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people were in dire straits, but the officials of the DPRK and China were muddling along, and their corpses were eaten without food.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Xinghe issued such an inexplicable decree, which naturally became the best evidence of his stupidity and recklessness. It was because of this decree that many ministers lost confidence in Emperor Xinghe and turned around to fight against the king.

But Ouyang, who knew Emperor Xinghe well, knew that this was just a trick he played in order to regain the military power of the Duke of Wei.

Duke Wei died in battle, Duke Wei's only son got married, and the army left by the Qi family in the north naturally lost its ownership, and Emperor Xinghe sent his confidantes to take over the military power, which was a lot more legitimate.

Of course, that's just a lot.

But at that time, Emperor Xinghe was only a young man in his thirties, and it was commendable that he could come up with such a way of fighting without bloodshed instead of taking it for granted that he could seize military power with a single order.

The only thing that surprised Ouyang was that he had misjudged his position in Emperor Xinghe's heart, and at the last moment he was calling Aiqing one by one, turned around and threw him out, making him an abandoned son.

——The emperor is really the most dishonest thing!

Ouyang secretly slandered, and immediately realized that it was meaningless to pursue the issue of Emperor Xinghe's faith at this time. What he really needed to deal with was another ex-wife who was about to become the emperor.

— Uh, no.

——They didn't reconcile, and according to the law, Qi Yunheng is still his legitimate wife!

Thinking of this, Ouyang's head suddenly grew three points.

Seeing Ouyang frowning in thought, Emperor Xinghe raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, "Has Ou Aiqing thought of a countermeasure?"

"What should we do?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Ou Aiqing, you are as smart as you, do you still need me to remind you?" Emperor Xinghe's smile was mingled with obvious gloating, "Up to now, you are his only stain."

The king of Dongshan has already approached the city, and he is about to become the founding king of the country, but the founding king of the dignified generation has been married before - this matter is really good or bad.

The best way is to make Ouyang disappear from the world without a sound, and blame everything on the absurd act of the previous emperor.

Ouyang knew it in his heart, but he couldn't agree with it, and immediately smiled coldly, "He's not you."

Emperor Xinghe was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his face, "Could it be that you also have something to hate me for?"

"What do you think?" Ouyang sneered.

Emperor Xinghe squinted his eyes, "...Since you have resentment in your heart, why didn't you refuse my marriage offer back then?"

Emperor Xinghe was like a bright mirror in his heart.The gift of marriage certainly made Qi Yunheng lose face, but how could Ouyang be any better after marrying a man?

"You are the emperor!" Ouyang sighed with emotion, and then shook his head, "Forget it, the past is like wind, so why mention it again. I will take care of my own affairs, and you don't need to worry about it--after all, You don’t even have the ability to think about it.”

Ouyang's words blocked Xing and Di's faces.

But Ouyang didn't stop there, and continued to stab the knife on his own.

"I won't waste your time anymore." Ouyang continued, "Poisoned wine, Bai Ling, ****, which one do you plan to take?"

"Are you just looking forward to my death?!" Emperor Xinghe was annoyed.

"Besides death, do you have any other way to go?" Ouyang raised the corner of his mouth mockingly.

Emperor Xinghe was powerless to refute.

He has already betrayed all his relatives, and only a few close bodyguards are left, but how can he guard a huge capital with only these people?

If it wasn't for the rebel army not letting the capital be destroyed in the flames of war, besieging and not attacking, and trying to force him to surrender, how could he sit here safely?

However, boiling the frog in warm water, thanks to these three days of relaxation, the people around him dispersed again, and now it is difficult to escape.The capital has long been turned into a sieve by the eyes and ears of anti-kings from all over the country. Although Qi Yunheng did not enter the city, there is no guarantee that there will be no eyes and ears inside and outside the palace.The ancestors of the Zhao family did not leave a tunnel in the palace, so it is almost impossible to leave without alarming others.

In addition, Emperor Xinghe had no sons and no successors, so there was no firewood for the green hills left behind.

After thinking about it, the only way to get rid of yourself is the most honorable way.

Emperor Xinghe knew this very well, if Ouyang hadn't appeared, he would probably have set fire to the palace and sent himself on his way.

Thinking about it, Xinghe Emperor's heart tightened suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he had neglected a very important thing.

How did Ouyang get in here? !

Ouyang left the capital a long time ago. If he wanted to enter the palace, he first had to go through the barrier of the rebellious army, and then he had to find a way to cross the city wall. The high walls in the palace were not for decoration, and the guards stationed at the palace gate were not for nothing.

It would be fine if Ouyang was with Qi Yunheng all the time, but he didn't know that Qi Yunheng was the king of Dongshan, which meant that he was able to come before him lightly, all because of his own ability.

Also, how did the oil lamps in this hall light up? !

Emperor Xinghe calmed down and thought about it, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, raised his head, and looked at Ouyang again with a completely different gaze.

"I'm really... blind." Emperor Xinghe muttered to himself.

Ouyang was taken aback by the endless words, and raised his brows suspiciously.

Emperor Xinghe smiled.

The matter has come to this point, and Ouyang doesn't look like he wants to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering. Some things don't need to be revealed, and some things, of course, don't matter.

Emperor Xinghe changed his voice immediately, and said, "Ou Aiqing, let's make a deal."

"Oh? You still have property to make a deal with me?" Ouyang laughed.

Emperor Xinghe ignored Ouyang's sarcasm, and continued with a faint smile: "I will leave Qi Yunheng an intact capital, and you have to do one thing for me."

"This is a deal between you and Qi Yunheng, don't mind me!" Ouyang replied bluntly.

"Aren't you a husband and wife?" Emperor Xinghe replied indifferently.

"Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes." Ouyang immediately turned cold, "People may have completely forgotten about me, so I don't want to be the messenger and fall into the trap."

"So, what do you want?" Emperor Xinghe asked bluntly.

Ouyang must have something to ask for.

How can a person who has been away from Beijing for many years go through layers of obstacles just to see him for the last time?

"I want to go into the inner library, the innermost one." Ouyang said word by word.

Emperor Xinghe was startled for a moment, but then he turned his hand over, pulled a string of beads from his wrist, and threw it into Ouyang's hand.

"There is a key hidden in each bead, crush it and take it out, and put it together to open the door of the hidden storehouse." Emperor Xinghe said, "But I don't know how to put it together. been in."

"You don't need to teach me, I know." As Ouyang said, he moved his hands, took out the fragments of the key from the wooden beads, and put them through each other like playing nine chains, one with a strange shape The key came into being.

Emperor Xinghe couldn't help being stunned, and finally couldn't help asking: "Who... are you?"

"Don't you think it's too late to ask this now?" Ouyang asked without answering, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
