Twilight GL
Chapter 8
Time seemed to stop suddenly.
The sound of knees hitting the ground filled Zheng Mi's ears, buzzing like thunder.Zheng Mi looked at her with a pale face.
Mingsu lowered her head, she is such a proud person, kneeling in front of her at this moment, her straight back seemed to be broken, bent down, extremely fragile.
"I'm sorry." Mingsu's voice was hoarse, suppressing countless pain and guilt.
Zheng Mi raised her head, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes: "Your Highness, kneeling down and apologizing, will you be able to pay back the lives of my Zheng family?"
Her words were like the sharpest knife, stabbing into Mingsu's heart one after another.
Mingsu didn't defend herself, she knelt down, not daring to beg for her forgiveness, but she showed her dignity, let her trample on it, and let her vent her anger.
But Zheng Mi hated her more and more, and hurt her with unscrupulous words.
"Even your life can't pay off my Zheng family's blood debt."
Mingsu's body swayed, her lips were pale and bloodless, she opened her mouth, trying to say something, but she didn't make a sound.
Zheng Mi said so many hurtful things, she knew Ming Su well, and knew how to make her suffer the most, Ming Su listened to everything, swallowed the blood in his heart, and didn't say a word of excuse.
At the end, she stood up shaking with the edge of the bed, and said, "I know you hate me, and we can never go back to the past."
"There is no past between you and me." Zheng Mi said lightly.
She denies their past.Mingsu lowered his eyes and nodded: "Yes, there is no past and no future."
Zheng Mi turned her head away, unwilling to look at her.
Mingsu pulled the corner of her lower lip, she seemed to be having a hard time standing still, a fine layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and her complexion was extremely ugly.She stretched out her hand to support a display shelf next to her, and said, "What you are going to do is extremely dangerous. It is always good to have more helpers."
She knows what she wants to do.Zheng Mi was stunned, and looked at Ming Su, but only saw the despair in her eyes and the hopelessness of not looking forward to the future.
"You misjudged me, I am not such a person." Her voice was extremely gentle, and that kind of gentleness was full of hopelessness.
It took Zheng Mi a while to realize that this sentence was an answer to what she said at the beginning, "It turns out that His Highness has this kind of thought in mind for me."
The hall was silent, only the occasional faint sound of the lotus wind entering the hall and bringing up the curtains.
Yun Sang and Xuan Guo didn't know what happened, they looked at the princess and then at the queen.
Zheng Mi blurted out, and after finishing speaking, she remembered that Ming Su had said this to her.She came back to her senses and quickly looked at Mingsu, who was also in a daze.
She also remembered.Zheng Mi couldn't help feeling a burst of anticipation, but Ming Su quickly regained his composure, looked down at the shattered teacup on the ground, looked up, then looked up at Zheng Mi.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, and she said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't say these words in the future."
Zheng Mi's heart ached because this sentence reminded her of her, so she didn't want to hear it?
She was at a loss for a while, so she could only nod: "Okay."
Seeing that the two had finished speaking, Xuan Guo dared to come over cautiously, bent down, and picked up the broken teacup on the ground.
Ming Su said calmly: "If your lady doesn't dislike it, then you can try this tea."
The small stove on the low table was burning brightly, the water on the stove boiled, overflowed from the mouth of the pot, rolled onto the fiery red coals, and white smoke was belching.
Zheng Mi sat down as promised.
Xuan Guo took a new teacup and made tea again.
Ming Su didn't seem to have much interest in talking, leaning on the soft pillow, watching the curling white smoke from the teacup.
She didn't speak, and Zheng Mi didn't dare to speak, but she wanted to know what happened in the past five years and why Ming Su became like this.
What happened on that day in Jiaofang, many days later, Zheng Mi learned from Xuan Guo that ever since his grandfather was convicted of treason, Mingsu has been begging the emperor to retry the case, and he pledged his life as a guarantee for his grandfather , Taifu can never be a rebellious minister.
The emperor's methods were fierce and caught everyone by surprise.The courtiers couldn't even react. At the beginning, those who complained for the Taifu, regardless of their official positions, were all sent to prison for interrogation.After killing a group and imprisoning a group, the remaining ministers were afraid, and for the sake of their lives, no one dared to speak.
Only Mingsu kept begging to see the emperor, but she refused to believe that the emperor wanted to punish the Zheng family.State Tutor's loyalty over and over again, and expose the far-fetched falsehood of those so-called criminal evidence over and over again.
But at that time, she was isolated and helpless, with no power in her hands, and no weight in her words. Her anxious running and falling into the eyes of caring people was simply ridiculous.
It wasn't until the emperor issued an edict to bestow the death of the empress that she realized that Tai Fu's loyalty and infidelity were not the key to this case. The key to this case was that the emperor wanted the Zheng family to be destroyed.
She rushed to the Hall of Renming to obstruct the servant who gave the empress to death, but the emperor ordered her to be taken down, pressed her to the ground, forced her, and watched with her own eyes that the empress who had loved and taught her since childhood was strangled to death.
Then, when her emotions broke down, the emperor hit her with another [-] spine sticks.
Twenty spines went down, her skin was ripped apart, and blood gushed out, almost crippling her.But she raised it for a few days, and as soon as she was able to go to the ground, she rushed to the Jiaofang without a moment's delay.
Minsuti never mentioned any of these to her.
If Xuan Guo hadn't been worried about Ming Su's injury and told her in private, she would never have known.
There was a loud bang.
Mingsu put the teacup on the table, she looked at the sky outside, it seemed that she was going to leave.She has changed so much in the past five years that it is almost invisible. She used to be a gentle young man praised by everyone.Especially those new to the palace, they all thought His Highness Xin Guo was born so cold and arrogant.
Zheng Mi concealed the concern in her eyes, and then put down the teacup.
Mingsu stood up, looked at her, and was about to say goodbye when the little servant outside the hall said loudly: "I have seen the concubine Jin."
"Exemption." Concubine Jin's voice came in with a smile, "His Highness Xin Guo can be in the hall, please let me know."
Mingsu laughed sarcastically: "It's strange, why did everyone come to this remote Kunyu Palace today?"
Zheng Mi didn't respond, she was also one of the "everyone".In Ming Su's eyes, she is probably no different from Pin Jin.
Concubine Jin looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance is like a slender willow, and she has a unique soft style, which makes people feel pity.
She entered the palace three years ago, and her father was a small official.After entering the palace, he was also favored for a while, which brought a lot of glory to the family.But the harem never lacks beauties, so there is no shortage of newcomers, and after being favored for half a year, Concubine Jin fell silent like many women in deep palaces.
I don't know what she is doing today.
When Concubine Jin entered the palace, Ming Su was a junior, so he saluted first: "My lady, Concubine Jin, rest assured."
Concubine Jin didn't dare to accept her gift, so she hurriedly returned the gift, "Your Highness, you are welcome."
Mingsu was indeed not polite, and sat back by himself.Concubine Jin, on the other hand, was astonished when she saw the queen. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here too." Then she bowed down respectfully and said, "My concubine pays respects to her, she is a thousand years old."
Zheng Mi smiled and said, "Sit down."
Concubine Jin thanked respectfully again, straightened up, Yun Sang brought a round stool from the side hall, and placed it in front of the queen and princess.
Concubine Jin sat down with a slanted sign, her tone was very humble: "I heard on the way that His Highness Xin Guo was enjoying the cool air in the Kunyu Hall. I remembered that I had something to ask, so I took the liberty to come here." After speaking, he looked at the Queen again, and apologized , "Who knows that the empress is here, if it disturbs the empress and His Highness's elegance, it will be the fault of the concubine."
Zheng Mi looked at Ming Su, Ming Su was holding the emerald jade teacup, his face was indifferent, obviously not interested.
Zheng Mi laughed and said, "I also met the princess by chance."
After she finished speaking, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a sneer on Ming Su's lips.
Zheng Mi felt a little uncomfortable at once, but she still maintained a smile on her face, and said, "If you have anything to do, just say it."
Concubine Jin deliberated for a moment, then beckoned to her side, and the maid who came with her hurriedly presented the box that she had been holding in her hand.
Concubine Jin took it, stood up, respectfully placed it on the table next to Mingsu, and said with a smile: "The elder brother of the concubine got a hairpin and wanted to present it to His Highness, but he didn't dare to rush to the door for fear of disturbing His Highness." If it is clean, it will be handed over to my concubine, who will hand it over on my behalf."
What she said was that she might disturb the princess's cleanliness, but everyone in the palace knew that her elder brother was not of sufficient status, so he couldn't enter the gate of the princess mansion and couldn't see the princess.
Zheng Mi wondered, what kind of priceless hairpin is worth offering by the two brothers and sisters Jinpin eagerly.She looked at the box curiously.Ming Su sat up straight and turned the lid of the box away.
I saw a gold hairpin lying in the box, the style is very delicate, like a begonia, with white jade inlaid in the middle, it is beautiful and elegant.
It's just that there are a few marks on the hairpin, obviously it's been a few years.
Zheng Mi's heart skipped a beat, this is her golden hairpin.
She subconsciously looked at Minsu.Ming Su was looking at Concubine Jin, with a half-smile and said: "Concubine Jin's elder brother bothered to offer a half-old hairpin. Could it be that he is having fun with Gu?"
She didn't recognize it.Zheng Mi thought in a daze.
This hairpin was made by Mingsu himself on her 17th birthday.
How could she not recognize it?
The author has something to say: the last chapter actually talked about abuse.
I don't believe it, you must be joking with me.
The sound of knees hitting the ground filled Zheng Mi's ears, buzzing like thunder.Zheng Mi looked at her with a pale face.
Mingsu lowered her head, she is such a proud person, kneeling in front of her at this moment, her straight back seemed to be broken, bent down, extremely fragile.
