The Legend of Nanshan Jun

"Your Majesty, I see that the Emperor has softened his heart towards you, why did you act like this just now?" Die Yi asked in puzzlement.

"I don't know, I'm just sad." I shook my head, not knowing how to describe my emotions at the moment.

I was at a loss in my heart, I only knew that I was unwilling to compromise.

"Hey...Your Majesty..." I looked puzzled between Dieyi's brows, it must be because I am a concubine in the harem but I still don't have the slightest sense of self-consciousness.

But I don't want to live a humble life like my mother and end up being bullied.

If my husband can't love me and love me, then why should I be by his side anymore?

"If I have the heart of other concubines to serve one husband together, I won't be in the palace for several years without asking for a name, and since I'm already by his side, naturally I won't ask for nothing again."

I don't want much, but in this harem, it seems too greedy.

"If you say no, then no, you don't have to ask any more."

"Commander Qian, please do me a favor. You are just helping me change places. The villain will definitely help you." The quarrel in front of me interrupted my thoughts, and I saw two guards arguing.

One of the guards was younger, but very handsome, but at the moment, his eyes were clouded with tears, he kept kowtowing to the older guard, and stuffed a silver coin into his hand.

But the older guard was unmoved and still refused to let go.

This has nothing to do with me, and I have no habit of meddling in other people's business. I was trying to bypass this scene, but I accidentally saw the young guard's eyes: unwillingness, humiliation, stubbornness, and hidden hatred. curious.

"What's going on?" I asked in a low voice.

The two guards were surprised when they saw me, they didn't expect there to be people in such a remote backyard of Fenghuang Terrace, and their expressions were a little uneasy.

But I still haven't forgotten the etiquette, and quickly saluted to me, "Slaves, pay respects to Lord Nanshan, and Lord Nanshan is a thousand years old."

"Why are you making so much noise in the Phoenix Terrace, disturbing the worshippers?" I said displeased.

The elder guard immediately replied, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because Wei Ming left his post without permission and wanted to bribe me in exchange for an errand, but the servant disagreed, so this entanglement happened."

"Oh? Are you all working in Phoenix Terrace?" I asked.

"No, the servant is the commander of the guards of the Phoenix Terrace, and this Wei Ming is on duty in the inner palace."

I glanced at Wei Ming who was trembling, "This is strange, the guards in the inner palace not only have a high salary, but the conditions are also very good. Why did you come to the Phoenix Terrace?"

Wei Ming hesitated for a while, "Slave... this..." But he didn't say anything.

I sent Commander Qian and called him aside alone.

"Now that there is no one around, why do you want to change your job? If it is not for extenuating circumstances, the palace rules are not child's play, and I will definitely punish you severely."

Wei Ming quickly kowtowed on the ground a few times, begging for mercy, and finally hesitantly said slowly, "Your Majesty, you don't know, I just came to the Inner Palace not long ago, and I'm lucky to work as an errand in Qingyan Palace, but newcomers are easy to be bullied. It is really unbearable, so I want to take refuge in this secluded place."

"Qingyan Temple..." I frowned slightly, as I was no stranger to this name.

I took a look at his appearance. Although he was not outstanding, he was quite handsome. He was slender and not tall, with a mole between his eyebrows, which could be regarded as a memorable face.

After asking a few more questions, he was timid and did not dare to speak deeply, as if he was afraid of something, so I had no choice but to give up.

"Get up," I waved to him, took another bag of money into his hand, and said in a soft voice, "I will pretend that what happened today has never happened, and you must not be so reckless in the future. You can take the money Go to Haosheng to take care of it, maybe it will be useful, and the rest of me will be helpless."

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Your Majesty, you are too kind to me..."

I held his hand together, "Seeing that you look upright, I must be a good person, so I want to help you. Don't let me live up to your expectations."

"Yes... yes... Your Majesty's kindness, the villain will never forget it." He kowtowed to me several times until I stopped him.

"Get up quickly, go back earlier now, don't be punished by someone looking for a reason."

"Yes, sir, thank you." He was moved and turned his head three times.

"Your Majesty, if you want to help him, you can tell Commander Qian to transfer him to the Phoenix Terrace. I'm afraid you have other plans?" Dieyi asked quietly from the side.

I nodded, "Those who know me are Dieyi."

Dieyi smiled coquettishly, "This servant just thinks that Your Majesty is not a meddlesome person."

"All living beings, who are not suffering," I looked up at the bright moonlight, "I have no ability to save the world, I just want to protect myself."

"Everyone has their own blessings, let's go." I urged her, "If Wei Ming can survive, then he can be used by me, if not, it's his fate."

Wei Ming doesn't want to confess to me, and I don't need to help him to the end, just help him continue to toss.

If I'm not wrong, it's time to pull out that thorn in my heart.

When I returned to the Donghua Pavilion, I saw Cui Minglang's expression was rather strange, he greeted me slightly and entered his bedroom.

"What happened today?" I asked Die Wu who was serving me in the room.

"Don't you know, Your Majesty? Your Majesty turned over Donghua Jun's signboard tonight. At this moment, Dong Hua Jun should be preparing for bedtime."

"Bang" was the sound of me accidentally knocking over the teacup. Dieyi hurriedly came over to help me change another cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is also a common thing, don't take it to heart."

She said to Die Wu who was puzzled again, "Your Majesty's lily and white fungus porridge is ready, go and get some, Your Majesty hasn't had dinner yet tonight."

"Why didn't you take it from outside, why did you send me?" Die Wu was indignant, but still went out as promised.

"Your Majesty, it is common for concubines to stay in bed, please be careful." Dieyi added carefully in my ear.

But I didn't seem to listen to it, I still stared at the candlelight in front of me blankly, thinking of the pair of red candles on the wedding day, how joyously they danced.

As Dieyi said, this is such a common thing, why should I make such a fuss?

I regard him as my husband, but he regards me as an ordinary concubine with a different status.

Now that he is having fun with his concubine in another part of Donghua Pavilion, I can't help but think about it.

I drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, the food was tasteless, I dismissed Dieyi early and went back to rest, but I tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep, afraid of hearing the sound coming from the bedroom next to me, even if I knew the sound was louder, I would not be able to hear it arrived.

It's midnight, and I haven't fallen asleep yet.

There was a gust of wind outside the room, and a window was blown open, so I had to get up and close the window.

As soon as I turned my head, a black shadow suddenly pressed down, and I was so shocked that my face turned pale.

"Hmm..." My mouth was tightly covered, no matter how hard I struggled with my hands, it was useless. The man on the opposite side firmly hugged my waist and pressed me to his chest.

I didn't expect that there would be assassins in such a restless night, but the assassins in front of me made me feel a little different.

He bound me, but said nothing.

I stopped struggling, and fixed my eyes on him, but the room was pitch black, so I couldn't see his face clearly.

Seeing me stop, he slowly let go of his hand covering my lips, and looked at me calmly.

"The emperor is interested in pretending to be an assassin tonight, it's really a pleasure." I couldn't help but sarcastically, I could feel his aura even with my eyes closed.

He looked at me with a hint of anger in his eyes, but he kept it hidden, and said with a retorted smile, "Why do I smell a vinegar smell, which family's vinegar jar has been overturned?"

The itching of my teeth with hatred in my heart, the insomnia in the middle of the night and his calm tone at the moment made me spit out, "Which family it belongs to, it has nothing to do with me, the emperor just sleeps all over the place." In the harem, I don't care about it."

"Really?" He took a step forward noncommittally, but his tone sank a lot.

I stiffened my neck and said stiffly, "Anyway, I only like Heng Wang alone. Life is his man, and death is his ghost."

As soon as these words came out, it was like sparks starting a prairie fire, and instantly made his whole body exude a destructive atmosphere. He pushed me into a corner step by step, and his tone was as hellish asura, "Do you dare to say it again?"

In my heart, I was startled by his terrifying arrogance at the moment, but still refused to admit defeat, and said stubbornly, "My minister likes King Heng, and all the men in the world are not as good as King Heng, so I am overwhelmed. Marriage, please let the emperor make it happen."

The way he looked at me was full of flames and layers of ice, and his deep black eyes exuded an aura that made me shudder.

His big hand grabbed my throat, "Okay, I really underestimated you, but no matter how worthy you are of my emperor's younger brother, you are not afraid of dirtying his eyes."

His words pierced my heart like a sharp sword, and it was a hidden pain in my heart that I never showed to anyone.

I laughed back angrily, "Yeah, I'm really not qualified to serve King Heng, I'm only good enough to serve you..."

"Crack!" The burning pain spread on the left side of my face and gradually became numb. I casually wiped away the tears from my cheeks and continued to laugh presumptuously. A man? Hehe, let me tell you, you are..."

The anger accumulated over the past few days finally broke out tonight.

I said every word against my will, but my heart was shouting, please don't believe it.

But before I finished speaking, he pushed me hard onto the bed, my forehead hit the foot of the bed, and the pain made my eyes stare.

Before I could stand up, my hands were cut backwards and pushed to the top of my head. I raised my foot to kick him, but he took the first step and pressed it against my knee, and I was suddenly powerless and unable to move.

"Li Zhenrui, I hate you!" I bumped my head against him, and he leaned back a little, dodging my brute force, "You stupid king, you will bully me like this!"

He took a deep breath, as if digesting my curse for a long time.

"In the whole world, you are the first person who dares to call me by my name, dare to call me a fool, and still treat me like this. The last person who called me by my name is no longer in this world. It seems that you are really not alive. Be patient." His tone was much calmer, and his words were already extremely cold.

"The humble minister thanked the emperor for his perfection." I looked him in the eyes and laughed out loud.

"Do you think I dare not kill you?" There was a strong killing intent in the eyes that I had never seen before.

But when I saw this look, I instantly calmed down, and a sense of sadness rose from the bottom of my heart.

After all, I can't get what I want, and at this moment, I feel that I have nothing to love.

I closed my eyes and said lightly, "You do it, I don't want to see you again in this life."

The hand pressing on my neck gradually tightened, and I began to feel more and more dizzy. I gritted my teeth and said nothing, and suddenly I remembered a remonstrance from my predecessors, "Men are mortal, and they are either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. "

My current death of drinking hatred is really lighter than a feather.

However, it is too late to regret.

I gradually became top-heavy, and felt that another self in my body had floated into the air, looking down at myself gradually losing my intuition.

It seemed like a long time later, when I was gradually losing consciousness, the restraint on my neck disappeared in an instant, I took a deep breath unconsciously, and my eyes gradually became clear.

Then a huge black shadow crushed my body.

"Hiss." The pajamas were instantly torn into two halves.

"What are you doing... let me go!" I yelled anxiously, and soon the lights outside my bedroom were brightly lit and crowded with people.

But the person on top of me was completely unmoved. He tore off his robe at will, roughly opened my legs, and came in suddenly.

"Ah!" I couldn't help screaming in pain, I arched up, and my back was covered with cold sweat.

"Li Zhenrui, you bastard, let me go!" My voice trembled unconsciously, and I almost passed out from the pain.

"Li Zhenrui, go to hell!"

A trembling voice sounded from outside, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Get out of here, and offenders will be shot." Li Zhenrui roared angrily.

The outside fell silent for an instant, and the lights receded to the distance and dimmed a lot.

He vented on me for a long time, and every second felt like Lingchi pain.

My voice was also hoarse, and I could only let him do what he did after that, without any power to fight back.

When I was about to lose consciousness in pain, he pinched my chin and said coldly, "If you try to challenge me again, I won't show mercy next time."

He pulled away from me, flung his sleeves and walked away.

In the sound of "Long live the emperor, long live, long live" outside the door, I tilted my head and passed out.

It was the evening of the second day when I became conscious.

Dieyi was waiting in front of my bed, looking at me worriedly.

"Your Majesty, let me help you apply the medicine," her eyes were a little red.

I replied feebly, looked at the bed, the dried blood was so bright and dazzling, just like being favored at the first night, but now I am in a completely different state of mind.

□□The injury is serious, and it is inconvenient to go out these few days, so I have to read a book or paint in the room every day to pass the time.

The paintbrush in his hand descends slowly, outlining the last stroke of the ink-like landscape.

Unexpectedly, I heard steady and gentle footsteps, and I knew who it was without looking up.

I pretended I hadn't seen it, and continued to concentrate on painting, and only called softly, "Dieyi, give me tea."

Dieyi came out from behind the screen, and when she saw the person coming in, she immediately stood there in surprise, and then hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty sees you." Then she carefully brewed a cup of Longjing and brought it in front of Li Zhenrui.

Li Zhenrui didn't take the tea, but walked around the room for a few steps, as if he wanted to say something.

I never thought that Li Zhenrui would come to the door today after the commotion the day before yesterday. The sun really came out from the west.But if he showed up today, he couldn't come to see me, right?

However, I was only slightly surprised, and I had made up my mind not to be as impulsive as the night before, and I was the one who suffered.

"Are you better?" He finally said, with a remorseful expression, "I was wrong the day before yesterday."

Thinking of the brutality of that night, I can still vividly remember the injuries on my body, but what about my heart?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." I responded lightly.

We didn't talk for a long time, Li Zhenrui walked up and down in the room, seemed a little irritable.

"What you said that night was true?" Li Zhenrui said such a sentence suddenly, which made me slightly stunned, and then I remembered that I said a lot of words against my will that night.

But I didn't know which sentence he was referring to, so I had no choice but to ask, "What is the emperor referring to?"

Li Zhenrui said cautiously, "Actually, when I offered Nanyang a marriage to King Heng, he refused."

"Oh." I didn't care about it indifferently, I just cared about painting.

"He proposed that he already has someone he likes, and I hope I will agree." Li Zhenrui looked straight at me while talking.

The painting brush paused slightly, I didn't answer, and Li Zhenrui didn't wait for my response, and continued, "That person is called Xiyan."

I admit, his words really left my mind blank for a long time.

I always thought that King Heng didn't want to marry me in his heart, or he didn't know his own intentions, so he was always hesitant.After marrying Nanyang Princess, she lost confidence in him even more.

Now it seems that there is a secret.

But it's all over, isn't it?

The fingers holding the pen tightened unconsciously. I knew that I should remain indifferent and say nothing, but I couldn't help but sighed, "There must be a reason for the emperor's disagreement."

Seeing my expression, Li Zhenrui suddenly became cold again, and said indifferently, "How can a courtesan of unknown origin become a princess?"

I took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but sneer, "As a result, this singing girl accidentally became Nanshan Lord, the emperor must regret it very much."

Li Zhenrui snorted coldly, "Yeah, why did I fall for your way?"

"It's not too late to rein in the precipice." I replied calmly, as if what I was talking about had nothing to do with me.

"That's a good idea. When I get tired of playing, I can rein in my horse."

The painting pen was put down with a "snap", and a few out-of-place marks were added to a poetic landscape painting. I grabbed the rice paper, crumpled it up, and threw it at him.

This sentence made me more angry than knowing that Prince Heng had married Princess Nanyang.

He took the ball of paper, with reddish eyes and heaving chest, he pushed me onto the bed.

After a while, the only sound left in the room was my panting.
