Twilight GL

Chapter 20

Concubine Shu couldn't answer Mingsu, so she could only help her up and wipe away her tears.

The tears were warm, and Mingsu's face could still be seen a bit immature, when the veil brushed her face, Concubine Shu suddenly felt a little dazed.

Years are too cruel for them, and they have lost too much in the years.

Concubine Shu remembered that she rarely had the opportunity to dry Mingsu's tears like this. When Mingsu was young, she was very strict with her and always stared at her schoolwork.They rarely have the warmth and care of an ordinary mother and daughter.

At the most peaceful time, it seems that every once in a while, she looks for Mingsu and asks her what she has learned recently, and what the queen has taught her.Mingsu came to talk about it one by one. Whenever she said the word "mother queen", her heart would tighten, and when she said something else, her heart would relax again.

One day, Ming Su inadvertently said: "The queen mother said that the mother concubine likes peony the most, but unfortunately the peony in the palace does not bloom well. In the coming year, my son will plant a piece of peony for the concubine so that the concubine can often watch it."

At that time she blurted out and asked: "Why did the empress mention that I like peony?"

After asking, he was in a state of confusion, and felt as if he had encountered the most thrilling thing. Without waiting for Mingsu's answer, and without looking at her expression, he hurriedly said: "The most urgent thing is to focus on your studies. If you have spare time, you can do other things.”

Ming Su nodded obediently: "Concubine Mu, I made a note."

She is always reassuring. Concubine Shu was full of relief and affection, she reached out and touched her immature shoulder, and said: "You have to take care of yourself and respect your queen mother."

Mingsu nodded: "I understand that the mother has no children, and will be bullied by other concubines in the future. The son is the mother's child, and he must be filial to her in the future, just like filial piety to you, and don't let others bully her. Self-awareness, you are like this Please, I will always keep this in mind." After she finished speaking, she smiled slyly again, "These words cannot be told to the empress, it is a secret between me and the concubine mother."

"Yes, Mingsu is really smart." She smiled and praised her.

It's a pity that the empress did not wait until Mingsu grew up.

Concubine Shu's hands that wiped away Mingsu's tears trembled. She looked at her, not knowing whether to comfort her or herself: "In this life, there is nothing you can do about many things. If you try your best, don't be too harsh."

Ming Su said: "But I always feel that I haven't tried my best."

Concubine Shu understands what she means, the thing has already been done, but people's hearts are hard to let go. She always thinks over and over again, what would have happened if she hadn't done this in the past, and whether it would have been better if she had chosen another path. In the days to come, it was like a poisonous snake in my heart, biting it from time to time, the pain was so painful that I wished I could exchange my life for a look back and a smile from that person.

"Wait a little longer." Concubine Shu said, "She wants to clear up her wrongdoing, and she will always come back."

Hearing this sentence, Ming Su cheered up a little, nodded, and said seriously: "When she comes back, I will lock her up and not allow her to leave again."

These words were childish, Concubine Shu smiled and did not speak again.

Ming Su also fell silent, the curtains in the hall moved slowly with the autumn wind, the smoke on the incense burner rose upwards, and was blown away by the wind in mid-air.

Her thoughts drifted to five years ago.

That day, when she returned to the palace from Jiaofang, Zheng Mi told her not to go again, she couldn't do it.

The Zheng family is gone, the queen mother is gone, her beloved woman has been reduced to a prostitute in the teaching workshop, and the days are too dark to see the light.But as long as she has breath, she can't leave Zheng Mi alone.

She walked into the palace gate, it was still early in the morning, and the palace in late autumn was a bit desolate, with fallen leaves falling everywhere, engulfed by the wind, and scattered in the palace.

She walked along the palace road, Zheng Mi put medicine on her back, it seemed that the pain was not so bad, Mingsu couldn't tell whether it was really cured, or just to comfort her heart, feeling that the medicine passed through A Mi's hands, and the effect was good. Both are many times better.

She carefully recalled what she had done today to see if there were any omissions.

Although she told the head of the church not to do evil things while she was away, she would definitely go in the future.

But Mingsu is still worried, she knows that the capital is full of nobles, a princess with an empty title, sometimes nothing, there are many more powerful people than her.That's why she went every day. Her words might not be effective, but she was sitting there, and others were concerned about the dignity of the royal family, so it was not easy to force her.

But tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and as a princess, she must have no time to leave the palace.

Ming Su frowned tightly, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.She hadn't slept well in days.When she couldn't hold on, she also thought, when will this day be the end.But when he thought of Zheng Mi, it seemed that he didn't suffer so much anymore.Anyway, no matter how difficult it was, she would protect A Mi and just gritted her teeth.

Walking through a wide palace road, when many palace people saw her, they all lowered their heads and walked away, as if they had met the plague god and were afraid that they would suffer bad luck if they approached her.

Mingsu didn't care, and she couldn't care less about these things.She walked quickly to the harem, and when she was about to pass the imperial garden, a strange eunuch ran over and said anxiously: "Why is His Highness Xin Guo here? Your Majesty has summoned you, Your Highness, hurry up and see you."

When she heard the word Your Majesty, she was instinctively afraid, tried her best to smile calmly, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know why Your Majesty is looking for me?"

The eunuch said: "How does this little one know? Don't dawdle, Your Highness, go quickly."

Mingsu had no choice but to let him go.

It is not far from Zichen Palace.Mingsu even felt that he was much closer than usual, and he would arrive soon. When he saw the jade steps of the Zichen Palace, the eunuch said: "Your Highness, go quickly, the younger one has something to do, so let's go first."

After all, without waiting for the princess to answer, he turned and ran away.

This was the first time that the palace servant who delivered the decree left halfway.Mingsu felt different, but he thought who would dare to falsely pass on oral instructions?So she made up her mind and continued walking.

After walking a few steps, she saw a man in armor on the palace road ahead. She didn't know who it was because of his back, but the armor was similar to the uniform of the imperial army.Ming Su guessed that it should be a general in the Forbidden Army.

The man was tall and walked very fast, and he was also going to Zichen Palace.

Mingsu was about thirty steps behind him, when the strange feeling came again.His Majesty summoned this general, why did he summon her?Or, the general came to see him by himself, and happened to bump into her.

The general walked up the jade steps.Mingsu always followed behind him without making a sound.

The jade steps in front of the Zichen Hall have ninety-nine and 81 steps, implying the meaning of surpassing the nine heavens.When Mingsu stepped up to the first step, the general happened to step on the highest point, and his figure disappeared.

Mingsu became more and more flustered, but had no choice but to go up.When she walked all the way to the top, she realized that there was no one in front of the hall.

Mingsu pursed his lips, walked outside the hall, looked around, but still saw no one.

This is something that has never happened before, there will inevitably be several palace servants standing outside the Zichen Palace, waiting for the emperor to dispatch.At this moment, Mingsu understood that the summoning this time was not easy. She recalled the appearance of the eunuch just now, but she couldn't remember what he looked like, the kind of appearance that could not be found in the crowd.

This summoning is very likely to be falsely preached oracle.

The best thing at this time is to leave silently.As long as she pretended that she hadn't been here, no matter what the intentions of those who set up the battle were, she would avoid it.

She turned around, wanted to go back the same way, took a step, but wondered where the general went just now?If His Majesty is not here, he should stand outside the door and wait to be summoned. If he is not outside the hall, it can be seen that His Majesty is in the Zichen Hall.

Mingsu froze, she had a bad premonition in her heart, she couldn't tell what it was, but it made her terrified, and she always felt that she shouldn't leave.

Mingsu pursed her lips tightly, turned around, looked around, but there was still no one there, she walked to the door of the hall, pushed it, and the door opened.

Her ears were buzzing with tension. If His Majesty was sitting in the hall, then she would be trespassing on the Zichen Hall, which would be a crime of beheading.Mingsu bit his lower lip and looked closely, no one was present on the throne behind the case.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a subtle and indistinct voice came from the inner hall.

Ming Su walked in and put his ear on the door of the inner hall.The voice became clearer.

"There are still people in the Zheng family alive, I am not at ease."

"It's just a woman, and she has been trapped in the Jiaofang, and there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, if your majesty wants to eradicate it, you only need to ask someone to order the Jiaofang Secretary. There are many tricks in the Jiaofang Secretary. , let Zheng disappear without a sound."

Mingsu gasped, then hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Yes." The emperor's voice was bone-chillingly cold, "But I still have an unworthy girl who is stalking inside, scaring everyone in the Jiaofang Division so much that they dare not do anything. A princess with no money and no power can do anything. At this point, I have underestimated her."

What the general said, Minsu couldn't hear clearly, she tried to calm down and put her ear closer, but the violent heartbeat disturbed her hearing.

Mingsu bit his lips in anxiety, and kept trying to calm down before finally hearing the emperor's words clearly.

"I don't allow anyone from the Zheng family to live in my world, but she has already entered the teaching workshop, and there is no precedent in the court to give a female relative to death, so I don't want to punish her publicly."

"I understand."

The emperor was very satisfied: "Do it cleanly, but also be careful." Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and said with a smile, "The Zheng family is very tenacious."

"Your Majesty receives the decree. Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday. I wish Your Majesty a long life and good health with Zheng's head." The general said respectfully.

For some reason, the beating heart suddenly calmed down, Mingsu only felt that he had separated a soul, watching his every move from a high place, with a terrifying calmness.

She wanted to back out gently, but suddenly it occurred to her that she needed to know what the person who was ordered to assassinate A Mi looked like.So, she controlled her strength, pushed open the door of the inner hall very lightly, and looked in.

The emperor sat cross-legged on the couch, and the general knelt in front of him, facing Mingsu sideways.

Ming Su could see clearly that he had a beard around his lips, his face was as white as a ghost, his eyes were long and narrow, and his sword eyebrows flew slantingly.Ming Su met him, he was the commander of the front of the palace, Cheng Chisheng.

Don't forget to close the door of the palace.When he exited the hall, there was still no one outside the hall.

She walked down the steps quickly, then looked back, and saw a person standing above her, watching her quietly.

It was Zhao Liang who was beside the emperor.

Seeing her looking over, Zhao Liang raised his sleeves and saluted her.

Ming Su nodded hastily and left quickly.

She couldn't remember how she got here, until she entered the Nanxun Palace, she found her voice and said to Concubine Shu: "Mother Concubine, I have something to talk to you in secret."

Concubine Shu didn't ask any more irrelevant words, and immediately dismissed the palace servants, led her into the inner room, and closed the door.

Mingsu told all about what he saw in Zichen Palace.

"It seems that Zhao Liang intended to warn the people, and he withdrew the palace people outside the Zichen Palace." Concubine Shu said, "When Zhao Liang first entered the palace many years ago, he had received the favor of the empress, and had never had the chance to repay it. It happened to be revealed today. , let you save the last member of the Zheng family, and this fate is settled."

When he saw Zhao Liang, Mingsu guessed that he did it, but he didn't expect that it was because he had received the favor from his mother.

"Why can't my father tolerate A Mi? This is the last person left in the Zheng family. Taifu Zheng is his teacher after all, and he has the kindness to support and educate him..." When she said this, she was a little choked up. It was useless, so she said her decision again, "Concubine Mu, I want to send her away."

Concubine Shu nodded, got up and went to the dressing table, took out a lot of money, including bank notes, broken silver, and a lot of jewelry without the palace logo, put them in the bag and handed them to Mingsu: "Take it, escape with your life." It is difficult to live without money, and these are enough for ordinary people to live affluently for several lifetimes."

It is not too late.

Mingsu didn't say much, just said: "Thank you, Concubine Mother." After taking the burden, she got up and was about to leave, but Concubine Shu grabbed her hand, stared at her, and asked, "You really just want to send She's leaving? Can you rest assured that she will leave Beijing alone to escape for her life?"

Ming Su was taken aback, she was naturally worried, but she was not alone with nothing to worry about, if she left with Zheng Mi, her mother and concubine would be implicated.

Concubine Shu saw what she was thinking, and said: "You go with her, there is nothing to miss in this capital, the world is so big, you can go anywhere. The emperor cleans the court, and it is time for employing people. Your grandfather and uncle both If I am reused, he will not attack me."

When she said this, she remembered the most important thing, looked into Mingsu's eyes, and told her: "When you settle down, you must remember to set up a tablet for the empress, and don't let her lonely soul wander outside."

The author has something to say: I forgot to mention, Zheng Mi's Mi, polyphonic characters, fu, or, mi, can all be used, just pick the one that comes in handy.

However, although bi is very outstanding, it can't be done.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Why do you read it as bi? Do you read half of it?
