Biganchun

Shennong Baicao, the strategy of a thousand gold, all received by the Imperial Medicine Academy.

Even a cup of licorice tea, once processed by the secret recipe of the Imperial Medicine Institute, the aftertaste seems to be very different.

Zhan Zhao put down the teacup, and saw that the little palace eunuchs serving on the left and right had dispersed, so he smiled at Yan Shiliang who was sitting opposite him: "Eunuch Yan, you asked Zhan to come over and explain what happened, now you can always say That's all."

Yan Shiliang was still a servant of the sixth grade, but his brows were full of depression, as if he had never been like this before.

He was silent for a long time, sighed softly, took out something from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, do you know what this is?"

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that it was a shot of black agarwood, after sniffing it, he felt that the smell was light, vaguely absent.He handed the agarwood back to Yan Shiliang and shook his head: "It looks like agarwood, but the taste is a bit special."

Yan Shiliang held the agarwood in the palm of his hand, and sighed: "This incense is produced in Tianzhu, which is extremely rare. The quintessence of the Song Dynasty is collected in the ban, but there are only two injections. Burn this incense in the furnace, and follow the smoke. Floating, no matter how high a person's martial arts is, once this fragrance penetrates into the skin, all the internal energy in the whole body will be cut off between the meridians within one hour and three quarters, and it will be as weak as a baby. No harm."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help being surprised: "What a powerful spice! Is there an antidote?"

Yan Shiliang shook his head: "This fragrance has no solution."

Zhan Zhao nodded and said nothing, thinking in his heart, once he inhales this fragrance, his lifelong internal energy will be ruined in one go, the potency of the medicine is really appalling.

Yan Shiliang was silent for a while again, as if he was preoccupied, and finally said slowly: "This incense was originally made to deal with top experts, so it is called 'Suolin Incense'. It is a pity that the person trapped by this incense tonight is not The Zidian Qilin is actually a solitary luan with emerald feathers."

Zhan Zhao was startled, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "What does Eunuch Yan mean by that?"

Yan Shiliang glanced at Zhan Zhao, and sighed, "Master Zhan still doesn't understand? There are two bets of Suo Linxiang in the palace, one bet is in our hands, and the other bet is in Ruisi Palace... At this moment, only I'm afraid it will burn to ashes."

Zhan Zhao's heart was shaken, he pulled up his sleeves, and said sharply, "Eunuch Yan, are you joking?"

Yan Shiliang also stood up, and said slowly, "Master Zhan, does our family seem to be joking?"

Zhan Zhao stood there in a daze, for a moment, he felt pain in his heart, soreness in his eyes, and could no longer control himself.Thousands of thoughts are circling in my mind, but I don't know how to act.

How can I forget that in the dark night of the palace, the rhetoric——

...Even if he forgot what he said at this moment, Zhan will never forget to protect the girl well...

How can I forget that in Suzaku Alley, I swear to the sky——

... No one in this world knows better than me the hardships she has suffered!Even if I give up this life, I will never let her suffer any more...

The words were still in my ears, but in the end, he still failed to protect her well.

Feeling stabbed in his heart, he raised his head and stared into Yan Shiliang's eyes: "Why did the officials treat the Princess like this?"

Yan Shiliang met his gaze: "Master Zhan must know better than our family why the official family came here."

A wry smile appeared on Zhan Zhao's lips.The fluke of self-deception for a long time is now gone.

He only felt that his heart was full of pain and anger, but he didn't know where to throw this resentment.

He sternly said: "Eunuch Yan, since you know that Ruisi Palace has this arrangement tonight, why didn't you tell Zhanmou early in the morning? Why did you have to wait... until now..." When he said the last few words, his breath was already choked up, and his voice was dark Dumb, can no longer continue.

Yan Shiliang said in a low voice: "As a slave and maidservant, the holy will is heaven, and our family is helpless... Our family has always seen the suffering of the official's lovesickness for the princess. If this incense does not burn, the official will not be able to complain to the princess Heartfelt..."

Zhan Zhao said angrily: "Do you know that she still has a wish to fulfill in this life. Now you are destroying her life skills for your own selfish desires, which makes her more painful than killing her. Once her parents and relatives are punished, You all know that once the family is exterminated, why do you still have the heart to impose such inhuman suffering on her?"

Yan Shiliang said sadly: "In this world, there is no way to have the best of both worlds."

Zhan Zhao tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "So, what you want to tell me tonight is actually these words."

Yan Shiliang raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too late to make up for the dead. The servant girl invited the lord into the palace just to turn the tide of danger."

He suddenly called himself a servant, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Zhan Zhao said coldly: "My father-in-law speaks profound words, Zhan doesn't understand."

Yan Shiliang said sternly: "The officials want to keep the princess by their side, and they wanted to make a good story through the ages. But you know the princess's temperament best, Mr. Zhan. She has no intention of being in the official family. After a time of hardship, it is inevitable that she will wait for an opportunity to do something drastic in the future. If she stays in the palace, the misfortunes and fortunes of the official family will be unpredictable, and the servants will be restless. The 30 years of hard work of the slaves and maidservants, father and son, are all for the physical and mental peace of the official family, and the longevity .If this matter is left unchecked, in the end, the fragrance will be exhausted, and the love will die... In order to fulfill the responsibility of slaves, what happened to Queen Guo in the past will inevitably repeat itself..."

Zhan Zhao suddenly grabbed Yan Shiliang's arm, and said sharply, "What you did tonight has hurt her so far, yet you still want to kill her?"

Yan Shiliang only felt the severe pain in his arm, which went straight to the bone marrow, but he endured the pain and gritted his teeth: "Even if it is against the law, as long as it can keep the officials and family safe, the servant is willing to accept the punishment from the gods. That day, the slave's adoptive father was demoted from the palace because of Queen Guo. , died in a foreign job, but never regretted it. Today, Shi Liang’s son inherits his father’s will, and he will not be wise to protect himself, avoid disasters and seek blessings. If Mr. Zhan can’t act according to the words of the servant, please forgive the frank words of the servant, the princess will definitely die worry."

Zhan Zhao stared straight at Yan Shiliang like a knife. After a long time, he loosened his arms one by one with his fingers: "What do you have to say, tell me quickly!"

Yan Shiliang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said: "My servant has heard about the situation between Mr. Zhan and the Princess, and I have seen it with my own eyes in Tianzhang Pavilion. According to what my servant has seen, the relationship between Mr. Zhan and the Princess is very important." Extraordinary..."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes drooping, Yan Shiliang said in a deep voice: "If the servant's guess is correct, then the official should be let go. The only way is to make him understand that the princess already has his own heart, and it is difficult to empathize. My lord, I am determined to win. The slaves have tried to persuade them before, but the officials just don’t listen. The slaves have thought about it before and after, Ruo Zhan and the slaves are going to Ruisi Hall together at this moment, expressing this clearly, and begging the officials to release the princess , maybe you can put it to death and come back to life."

He looked deeply into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "Holy will is unpredictable, good or bad is unknown. Going here will be like singing cicadas on an autumn night, and you must embrace the heart of the song. Please think twice about this section."

As if there was a perception, the cicadas suddenly rang outside the window, and the sound entered my ears, as straight as a cracked silk.Zhan Zhao looked back abruptly, a star in his eyes exploded like a flame, his determination was like a blade.

Ruisi to go, emotional barrier students.

Qingcheng barely stood with his back leaning on the pillars of the palace, looking at the ninety-five-year-old in front of him, the nobleman of the Tian family.

She had a half-smile on her face, still full of stubbornness and aloofness: "It turns out that the price of the oracle I asked for for Bai Yutang and Fourth Miss was so high."

Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes: "I treat you like this because I have no choice but to love you... I have never mentioned my thoughts to you before. You don't understand, so it is understandable."

The corners of Qingcheng's lips raised slightly, and he said with a sneer, "How can I not understand your Majesty's thoughts? Your Majesty may not know, but that day in Xiangyang City, in order to get close to Zhao Jue, I used to hide in the song building. See, it’s more than a thousand? I’m afraid His Majesty’s thoughts are not different from theirs.”

Her words were harsh, and she even compared the king of a country to a person seeking pleasure, but Zhao Zhen just sighed softly and was not angry.

He slowly said: "That day when I first met in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, the seven-foot green front, the blue blood on the lapel, from the eyes to the heart, I will never forget it. Although I have experienced a lot in this life, I have never imagined that the world is so beautiful. There will be a woman like you. After that, every time I call you into the palace to meet each other, I think about it day by day, and dream about it every night. I have made up my mind a long time ago, no matter what, I will never let you go easily. However, if you confess your love rashly I am afraid that you will leave here and never look back."

Qingcheng said coldly: "That's right, Your Majesty is brilliant, but he just used a trick of procrastination, keeping his voice and expression calm. After a few months of procrastination, he waited until I threw myself into the trap tonight."

She let out a long laugh, extremely sad, but her breath gradually weakened, and she couldn't hold it back: "It's only because I think I'm smart. When I saw the portrait and heard the story of the big lady, I thought that your majesty was completely sympathetic to me. Xin... I don't know people well, and I can only be regarded as self-inflicted when I end up like this..."

Zhao Zhen's eyes dimmed, and he said with pain in his heart: "Why are you doing this... It is my fault for making you angry and embarrassing today. But there will be a long time to come, and one day, you will finally understand that every word I said to you is for you. Everything you do is sincere and sincere. You have always been lonely, and since then, I will be by your side, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances."

Qingcheng sneered and said: "That's right, by His Majesty's side, I haven't been wronged at all, it's just that I have no strength to resist at the moment, and it's just one breath more than a dead person...Your Majesty, you use such touching words on me. It's such a pity...Looking around here, you already have beauties from the Six Palaces, and your makeup is like a cloud, don't you think it's not enough?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Three thousand weak waters, I only ask for a scoop to drink."

Qingcheng sneered repeatedly, and was about to retort, but felt that his strength was about to fail.She was usually quick-witted, not inferior to a man, but now she felt helpless, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her complexion was as pale as snow, like a cherry blossom in the morning dew.

Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh, and suddenly took a step forward.

The breath of his whole body was suddenly approaching, and before Qingcheng let out a soft cry, the jade hairpin in his hair had been gently picked off by Zhao Zhen.

The black waterfall of black silk flew down, scattered on one shoulder, reflecting her slender figure, showing a bit of panic and helplessness.

Zhao Zhen's low voice came from in front of him: "Don't be afraid. I'm just afraid that you will hurt yourself if you are careless."

Qingcheng suddenly realized, and his heart relaxed slightly.Looking around, I saw that there were no sharp objects in the hall, presumably Zhao Zhen had already confessed that the arrangement had been made properly.

She has lost her internal strength and has no hidden weapons. She can't protect herself, and she is also powerless to exterminate herself.She usually comes and goes freely and happily, but now she is in a desperate situation, but there is nothing she can do.For some reason, I suddenly thought of Zhan Zhao, a ray of bitterness rushed into my heart, and I secretly cried out in my heart: "If you knew today, would you still want me to enter the palace without weapons?... At this moment, you Where is it again?"

Seeing her startled to tears, Zhao Zhen was about to say something to comfort her, but he heard someone outside the hall playing in a deep voice, the voice was deep and very familiar.

"Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, I implore Your Majesty to see you!"

Qingcheng let out a soft cry of surprise, unbelievable for a moment.Zhao Zhen was also taken aback.

Immediately, another voice was heard, which was Yan Shiliang's voice: "Slave Yan Shiliang, please see me, Your Majesty!"

This situation was unexpected.Zhao Zhen's face sank like water, and he was speechless for a while.

The people outside the hall kept on playing, never giving up.

"Chen Zhanzhao, please see Your Majesty!"

"Slave Yan Shiliang, please see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen's brows gradually gathered together, and there was gloom in his eyes.

He has a good nature since he was a child.The majesty of the Tian family, even though it should be taken for granted, is never easily revealed.

But tonight, he is just an ordinary man under the domination of Dagon. When he is moved, he wants to use everything in his hands to win his love.Any obstruction will only make him manic and angry, and he will lose all self-control.

He suddenly raised his sleeves and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Everyone, step down! No matter who it is tonight, I won't see you at all!"

There was a moment of silence outside the hall, as if the torrential waves had calmed down temporarily.

Qingcheng looked at Zhao Zhen and said in a low voice: "Let me go. What happened tonight has never happened to me."

Zhao Zhen looked away, and said slowly: "I can't do it."

Qingcheng took a deep breath, and was about to call out to the outside of the hall, but Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "If I were you, I would never act willfully and implicate the people outside the hall at this moment."

Qingcheng's heart suddenly woke up.She slowly let go of her palm, her clear eyes drooped, and she silently swallowed all the pain.

She understands the result of entering the palace without an edict.

It's just a red sandalwood palace gate, carved with clouds and moon, inlaid with gold and embellished with jade, but it separates her from him.

Kneeling under the shadow of the hall, he seemed to be able to feel her breath, as thin as a gossamer, as tough as rush grass, not far away, as if he could reach out and touch her.

The burden on his shoulders for many years seems to be overwhelming, making him unbearable.His arm trembled slightly, but it was difficult to lift it up to touch the heavy palace door.

Since he abandoned the name of Nanxia and followed Bao Zheng, the original heat in his blood has gradually been stored in his heart.However, a mountain rain in Fengxian Temple and many funeral affairs often make him unintentionally rediscover his past temperament, and it is difficult to calm down his body and mind.

The golden wind is light, and the heart is like a candlelight, with endless thoughts.

Yulu is cold, love is like light wine, don't drink long-term hatred.

He and her meet each other in this life, is it fate, is it fate?

Qingcheng smiled sadly, only feeling like burning inside.Seeing her body shaking again and again, Zhao Zhen stepped forward to help her stand still.Qingcheng stretched out his arms to push him away with all the remaining strength in his body.Unexpectedly, when she pushed, she lost her center of gravity, staggered a few steps to the side, and knocked over the short piano on the piano platform.

The short piano slumped to the ground, the seven strings vibrated together, and the sound of the piano was like a turbulent waterfall, and there was a loud crash in the hall, which was shocking.

The ice heart is broken, and the jade pot is missing.

Zhan Zhao felt the blood all over his body rushing to the top of his head in an instant, gathering into a cavity of obsession.Thousands of shackles suddenly shattered, he stood up, and pushed open the door of Ruisi Palace with one palm.

The candlelight in the hall was as clear as day, and his and her eyes crossed the hall and met far away, both happy and sad in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen was startled and angry, and shouted sharply: "Bold!"

Zhan Zhao walked slowly into the palace gate, lifted a corner of his red robe, and knelt down quietly.

The capital of Shu has thin blankets and brocade flowers are cold.

The floor below his knees felt as cold and hard as armor, but his body was still straight.He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zhen, without flinching: "The minister is dead."

Although Yan Shiliang knew that the outcome of this trip was uncertain, he never expected that Zhan Zhao would make such an astonishing move.He was stunned for a while, and a sense of determination surged in his heart, he got up and walked into the hall, and knelt beside Zhan Zhao.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Zhen suddenly raised his head and sneered and said, "Okay, you begged me to see you, but I refused, but you still want to see me. Before the imperial army arrives in front of the palace, what do you have to report? Let me explain."

Zhan Zhao's gaze focused on Zhao Zhen's face, and he said slowly: "I implore Your Majesty to let Princess Gan Ning go."

Zhao Zhen's eyes tightened suddenly, he paused for a while, then raised his head and said, "The princess is my honored guest tonight, what's your stand for this request?"

Zhan Zhao said in a single word: "When Princess Gan Ning and the minister were in Xiangyang City, the minister made a pact with the princess with his life as a guarantee. The princess came to Beijing with the minister, and the Kaifeng government gave her justice. The old case of Ganzhou, Because the Holy Majesty made a clear judgment that she will be wronged in the end. The princess was about to leave Bianjing, but the minister persuaded her to stay here temporarily. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the minister to keep the princess safe. If anything happens to the princess, even if It is in the Great Inner Forbidden City, even if it is before the royal driver, the minister must not stand still!"

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed, and anger loomed in his eyes: "Zhan Zhao, you broke into the palace and violated the ban, and gave up your life just for the sake of this public case, is it worth it?"

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "The minister and the princess are a contract of life and death."

Qingcheng was leaning on the qin platform, barely standing upright, but when he heard this sentence, his heart was shocked, and he took a step back.

Zhao Zhen's body was also shocked.He recited this sentence several times in his heart, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and there were mixed feelings in his heart.

It is realization, it is anger.

It is jealousy and helplessness.

...The minister and the princess are a contract of life and death...

It turned out that it was so.

Seeing this, Yan Shiliang repeatedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty has a special liking, which is understandable. But if you want to, Luo Fu has no intention, what's the use of forcing? Your Majesty, you should stop it, it will do no harm. The slaves are dull and can't do it." To relieve His Majesty's worries for a while, but I don't want to see His Majesty suffer for a lifetime..."

Zhao Zhen was speechless in a daze, and suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh, with a trace of sourness in his nose: "Shiliang, when Queen Guo was deposed in the past, your adoptive father wanted to send Shang Meiren and Yang Meiren out of the palace with an excuse. Reluctant to give up, but still let him do things. Later, I wanted to make the Chen family the queen, but your adoptive father obstructed her in every possible way because of her humble family background, so that the matter failed. Empress Guo passed away, and your adoptive father is an unforgivable sin. I thought about the kindness of master and servant, but didn't go into it... You and I have been like brothers since we were young. After your adoptive father passed away, I promoted you to the Inner Hall Chongban, and you were favored and favored for a while... Could it be that I was so painstaking? , In the end, what you got in exchange was actually your words today..."

There was a lot of resentment in his heart, and there was nowhere to vent it: "In your hearts, is it possible that I am really a lecherous king like Jie and Zhou? Why can't you understand that I am sincerely attached to Suguang? What I want tonight is nothing but My beloved, stay by my side?"

Yan Shiliang recalled all kinds of past events, his heart was sore, tears overflowed his eyes, and he bowed his head for a while.

But Zhan Zhao said slowly: "Your Majesty, others can't understand your feelings for the Princess, but I can understand."

He raised his head and met Zhao Zhen's eyes: "That day, His Majesty repainted the portrait of Princess Marseille and gave it to Princess Gan Ning. The minister knew immediately that what His Majesty painted was actually Princess Gan Ning! Princess Sai's eyes are originally the color of jasper, but the eyes of the person drawn by His Majesty are as black as lacquer. However, the person in the painting is standing sideways, and the color of the eyes is not eye-catching. They just didn’t notice it.”

Zhao Zhen never thought that his painstaking efforts would be recognized by Zhan Zhao, and his heart was agitated and his throat was choked.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly: "That day in the hall of Kaifeng Mansion, the afterimage was stained by Zhao Jue's blood, so it was really difficult to redraw it with a picture. And at that time, His Majesty only had a one-sided relationship with Princess Ganning. Even so, what His Majesty drew The picture is still lifelike, as if made by nature. In terms of the reason, it is because of His Majesty's superb painting skills. However, His Majesty's deep consideration and sincerity for Princess Ganning may be the root cause."

According to this story, Qingcheng also had a big accident.What happened tonight, she already hated Zhao Zhen to the bone, but at this moment she couldn't help feeling it.

She looked at Zhao Zhen and shook her head slowly: "You...why are you doing this?"

Zhao Zhen walked up to her, stared at each other, and said in a low voice: "Suguang, can you see my heart?"

Qingcheng sighed bitterly, and smiled sadly: "It's a pity, Your Majesty's love is not for human beings."

Zhao Zhen said in a trembling voice: "Suguang, have you really entrusted all the love in your life to others?"

Qingcheng's eyes were dim, and he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand? The one standing in front of His Majesty at this moment is not Su Guang. Su Guang died on the night of Ganzhou 12 years ago. Today, only the lonely The female Qingcheng is still left in the world. Qingcheng is a heartless and heartless person, whether it is towards His Majesty or the person who made the contract."

Her green clothes are fluttering, her character is cold, and she is independent from the world. In a trance, she is not like a person in the world of mortals.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, then muttered, laughing at himself a little bit: "Since that's the case, it's fair."

He suddenly put away all the melancholy and sadness on his face, and regained his majestic demeanor.Gently adjusted his robes, took a few steps, and suddenly shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "The forbidden army in front of the hall has entered the hall!"

Qingcheng was startled, and immediately saw eight gold-armored forbidden soldiers rushing in with batons in front of the palace, and there was a soft sound of helmets, all of them knelt down and waited for the order.

Zhao Zhen's eyes were condensed, and he said quietly: "Zhan Zhao entered the Ruisi Hall without permission in the middle of the night, dragged him out of the hall, cut him straight, without pardon!"

Qingcheng was frightened, stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Zhao Zhen's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you want to kill him?"

Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "When he just walked into this palace, he already knew that there would be such a result. The law is like this, and there is nothing I can do to help."

Qingcheng's breath fluctuated, he gritted his teeth suddenly, and said: "Okay, if Your Majesty lets Zhan Zhao go, Qingcheng will do whatever you want to order tonight."

Zhao Zhen was startled, staring at her in a daze, suddenly filled with anger and hatred: "You... for him, you are willing to do this! Do you think that I just covet your body?... What I want is your sincerity!  … ...Could it be that you can take my life?"

Qingcheng's throat choked up, but his arms were still tightly grasping his sleeve: "You...you really don't want to let him go?"

Zhao Zhen saw that her eyes were full of pleading, and his heart softened, but the feeling of frustration that night was really indescribable, so he said coldly: "It's God's will, and there is nothing I can do!"

Qingcheng was stunned for a while, then let go of Zhao Zhen.When he looked back, he saw that Zhan Zhao had already been escorted by the imperial guards in front of the hall, got up and walked out of the hall.He stopped suddenly, turned his head, and glanced at her quietly.

Not split, but forever farewell.

Qingcheng felt grief and indignation rushing into her heart, turned around abruptly, and said bitterly to Zhao Zhen: "Zhan Zhao was convicted, and it was because of me. I will take the pain he has suffered!"

Hearing her words, Zhan Zhao was shocked in his heart, and shouted sharply: "How can you be so foolish! If you really do such a stupid thing, even if I die, I will never forgive you!"

Qingcheng didn't look back, but every word was for him: "It's a promise of life and death, how can we break our promise?... Between you and me, if you don't have time to figure out the future in this life, you can go to Huangquan Road to sort out the clues." stop……"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Zhen finally knew that with his dignity as an emperor, in her heart, he was completely inferior to a guard.Pain and anger were unprecedented in this life for a moment, and under the rage, he tremblingly said: "You...you just want to die, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Qingcheng sneered and said, "Is Your Majesty so confident?"

She staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, right next to the guqin that fell from the piano stand.She stretched out her left hand under the strings, her wrist turned violently, the seven strings were twisted in one place, the tension was everywhere, and the thin and tough strings had been deeply cut into the skin of the wrist.

With a bang, all seven strings snapped, and the dust in the hall was scattered in shock.

Tensi sharp, pulse broken.

The black hair is scattered, and the blue blood is absolutely gone.

A sad smile escaped from his lips, showing the beauty of his life.

The wish to die with tears has not been fulfilled, and I have done my best.

It's like going home.
