King's Landing GL

Chapter 26 Red Dust Smiles

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky outside the corridor.The wine in the glass was exhausted, she asked lightly:

"Since you're here, why don't you come out and meet?"

The voice fell, and a moment later, a man wearing a black royal robe with a cold face slowly walked out of the darkness.Her cold face became a little subtle after seeing the man falling asleep leaning on Su Yu's shoulder, but she still had a calm expression.

Su Yu glanced dotingly at the person sleeping on his shoulder, then lightly placed him next to the pillar, and raised his hand to smooth out the loose hair on his forehead.

All this fell into Murong Bai's eyes, but as a king, she was used to keeping her face.

Su Yu stood up, then walked out of the corridor, and stood not far from Murong Bai.

"Long time?" Su Yu asked Murong Bai.

The latter nodded.

Su Yu said again:

"What are you doing?"

"Take her home." Murong Bai said lightly.

"Go home..." Su Yu repeated the word, she turned her head to look at Murong Bai, "Her home?"

"Her home."

Su Yu was silent for a while, and then asked a question that she never wanted to ask:

"Do you love her?"

Murong Bai's indifferent eyes fell on Su Yu:

"Nothing to do with you."

Su Yu laughed, then ignored Murong Bai's gaze, and said to himself:

"Let me tell you a story."

"..."

"A long time ago, a fool fell in love with his nephew. She has been with her for many years. That's probably what childhood sweethearts meant. She loved her very much, but she didn't dare to tell her. Later, they finally expressed their feelings ...She used to think that God favored her, but in fact it was a joke. Because on the day they got married, that person was bewitched..." Su Yu paused, then continued , "That person has forgotten the fool, and can never remember that they ever loved. And that fool... can never say love... But she still keeps the memory and lives the rest of her life... ...."

"..."

"Tell me, isn't that fool stupid?"

Murong Bai looked at Su Yu who had tears in the corner of her eyes, she opened her mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't.She used to think that Su Yu was the one who intervened in her relationship with Sisi, and she was furious in every possible way.It turned out that he was the one who intervened in other people's feelings.

We were in love, we were married...

just forgot...

No wonder all the subconscious behaviors of that person were related to Su Yu... Murong Bai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but she, who had a good demeanor, didn't show anything.

"Take her away." Su Yu looked at Murong Bai and said softly.

"..." Murong Bai asked with his eyes.

Su Yu smiled, a little bit bitterly:

"The person she loves now is you." After finishing speaking, she turned to leave.

"..." Murong Bai looked at the person leaning against the pillar and fell asleep, feeling a little inexplicable in her heart, but she didn't want to think about it because she didn't want to let her heart get out of her control.She vaguely knew that she had fallen in love with that person, but as a king, she knew that she shouldn't go on like this.So she said:

"I can't love her alone."

Su Yu suddenly turned sideways and stared at her.That furious look made Murong Bai frown:

"But she is lonely," she paused, "I will not ask what happened to you in the past. But now and in the future, she can only be lonely."

Su Yu sneered and said:

"If I don't give it, what can you do to me?"

Murong Bai stepped forward to support Sisi, and said lightly:

"You don't need Gu, but you can't refuse." She turned her head to stare at Su Yu, and said coldly, "She is Gu's husband, and you are just her uncle."

It's just... Uncle Shi...

Su Yu slowly closed her eyes, these words were like stabbing a sharp knife in her heart, the pain made her speechless.When Murong Bai led that person away, she didn't stop him either.Why stop it?Su Yu laughed at himself.Didn't you decide to stay with that person from the very beginning?How can you be so greedy...

My childhood sweetheart is probably just a joke.

Su Yu looked up at the desolation all over the place.She chuckled:

It was just Nankey Yimeng, but she still didn't want to wake up.

Palace of Longevity, Qin Palace

Murong Bai carefully helped Sisi to lie down on the bed, and then covered him with a quilt.After doing this, she sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, looking at the person who fell asleep but not very peacefully, she frowned.He got up and walked out, and turned back after a while.It's just that there was an extra wet towel in her hand. She walked to the bed, bent down, untied the man's clothes with a cold expression, and then wiped her upper body.

Under Murong Bai's care, the man who drank too much finally let go of his frowning brows.After wiping, Murong Bai put away the towel and returned to the bed.She sat quietly by the bed, lowered her head, and looked at the person sleeping on the bed with a little struggle.After a long time, she let out a foul breath, and the struggle in her eyes gradually calmed down.

She got up, walked to the incense burner not far away, took out a stick of incense from a cabinet on the side, lit it, and inserted it into the burner.Not long after, the whole room was filled with a faint medicinal scent.

Murong Bai returned to the bed, looking at the person lying on the bed who was sweating on his forehead, she blew out the candle with a wave of her palm.

In the darkness, she raised her hand and gently unbuttoned her clothes, then got on the bed, and lay down beside the man.

Before going to sleep, Murong Bai leaned on the man's arm and chuckled: "There is nothing to repay, that's probably what it means."

Thinking, thinking...

What should I do with you...

Let you go, go back to Su Yu's side... Murong Bai turned his head in the dark, looked at her who was so close, and the sound of steady breathing hit her ear.She clenched her fingers tightly, and then carefully clasped the man's hand under the quilt.She turned her head, facing the top of the bed:

Let you go...I don't want to...

Murong Bai, Murong Bai, you must not fall in love with her.

must not...

The next day

Xuanzheng Hall

I turned my head and glanced at Murong Bai who was sitting not far in front of me on the right, wearing a black royal robe.Well, this woman was so good-looking even last morning.But good-looking people have a lot of things to do. It was only the morning of the last morning, but they dragged me out of bed early in the morning.

It's really not cute at all!

"My lords, please play if you have the book, and leave the court if you don't have the book." Murong Bai's cold voice sounded in the Xuanzheng hall.

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Gan Luo stepped forward and said, "If you have a copy, please play."

"Ai Qing, please tell me." Murong Bai said.

I sat in the back, my eyelids twitched, and I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart.

Gan Luo made a bow and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the decree has been promulgated for many days, but the counties are still unmoved..."

"Nothing..." Murong Bai sneered, "What's your decision?"

"Your Majesty," the Minister of the Military Department stepped forward and said, "This order is urgent, and it is normal for the counties to remain silent...my minister..."

Murong Bai sneered and said:

"What does Ai Qing mean, is this an inappropriate move?"

The atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. I looked at the minister of the military department with a toothache, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful...

In the whole of Daqin, although Murong Bai's orthodox background is no different from succeeding to the throne, her uncles are not easy to talk to.Before I came to Qin, I had heard all the big and small rumors about the Qin royal family.Like Qin Wangji’s younger brother Pingyang King and his son Murong Wen who rebelled seven or eight years ago. Of course, Qin Wangji was not a good person at that time. Pingyang King was killed by him before he could rebel... ...After Murong Bai succeeded to the throne, the two brothers of the previous king, except for the murdered Pingyang King, had only one uncle, Murong Chen, who was the father of Murong Jing'an, who was as famous as Murong Siyin, "the most unprovoked princess in the Qin Kingdom" .

This Murong Chen seemed to be quite peaceful, and did not cause any trouble.On the contrary, it was the former king's sons who were the most restless, and the first to bear the brunt was Murong Bai's brother Murong Yu.This Murong Yu was the first prince of the previous king, but he was not very popular.What's the reason... His mother and concubine are famous court ladies... His appearance was just a mistake of King Qin's drunkenness.Probably because of this reason, Murong Yu didn't accept Murong Bai very much.Thinking about it...Murong Bai is a woman who succeeded the Datong, but as the first prince of the previous king, he was neglected for many years because of his mother and concubine...

I sighed... Why are there so many things about the Wang family... There are only a few people I have met and recognized, and the relationship is not very good.It just so happens that the decree I wrote contains a lot of privileges against the nobles... If these members of the royal family unite to punish me, then I will have to die...

When I realized this fact, there was already a low pressure in the hall, and Murong Bai's face was as cold as ice.

"According to what the ministers said, Gu should take back the order?" Murong Bai said with fascinated eyes.

My heart skipped a beat, after spending several months with Murong Bai, I knew that this was a sign that she was about to lose her temper, and sure enough...

"Since this is the case, why don't all the lovers teach Jiaogu how to take back this order?"

All the ministers in the hall fell to their knees when they heard the words, and said in panic:

"I dare not! Your Majesty calm down!"

"Calm your anger?" Murong Bai said with a cold face, "Gu would like to ask all the ministers: Is Great Qin rich?"

"Fair." The ministers said.

These people are really...patriotic...

"Strong?" Murong Bai asked again.

"Good." The ministers said again.

These people are really patriotic...

"If there is a war, what about Qin Dang?" Murong Bai asked back.

"..." The ministers remained silent unanimously.

"General Li Wu." Murong Bai called out his name.

"Go back to the king," Li Wu stepped forward and said, "If there is a war, Qin may be weak..."

Murong Bai nodded, and said again:

"I know that all the lords have objections, but this order has been issued, and I hope all the lords will bear with me..."

It's rare for Murong Bai to say so many polite words. I finally understand why Li Dequan used to say that these ministers are difficult to deal with. Sure enough...

It’s really meaningless to listen to it for a long time. I thought that there was nothing wrong with me in this hall, so I just closed my eyes and fell asleep...

Yes, you heard me right, I just fell asleep in the morning.

But I didn't sleep for a long time. To be more precise, I was dreaming that I was drinking flower wine in a brothel when Li Dequan pushed me awake.

"Your Majesty..." Li Dequan pushed me and called me.

I, who was disturbed in my dream, expressed my displeasure, and asked Li Dequan without distinguishing the occasion:

"What?!"

I clearly saw the corners of Li Dequan's eyes twitch, and then lowered his voice and said to me:

"The king is calling you..."

"Oh..." I responded, but before I could figure it out, I turned around and asked Li Dequan, "What's none of my business?!"

I clearly heard the sound of a row of people inhaling in a row in the main hall.

"..."

I don't understand these ministers anymore!I'm just sleeping and I don't understand why they look at me like "it's over, you're dead".

and many more! ! !

I just... said something...

I belatedly remembered Li Dequan's words, so I asked without giving up:

"what did you just say?"

Li Dequan looked at me with a self-contained expression and said sincerely:

"The king calls you..."

"..." I felt a gust of wind coming from obliquely in front, but I still said firmly, "I...what did you say..."

Li Dequan couldn't bear it and said:

"You said: it's none of my business..."

"..." Do you want to be so honest!

I turned around with a dry smile, looked at Murong Bai with a cold face, and laughed straight away:

"That... looking for me... what is it..."

Murong Bai's dark eyes imprinted my figure, and said lightly:

"Wang Jun is free?"

"fine......"

"Oh?" Murong Bai smiled deeply, while I had kidney pain, "It just so happens that no one will implement this decree, why don't you have to trouble Wang Jun."

Before I had time to speak, I heard a minister speak from below:

"Your Majesty must not! Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in government affairs. His Majesty Wang Jun has come forward to implement laws and regulations, which is inconsistent with etiquette. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

As soon as this remark was made, all the ministers nodded and said yes, and they wrote a letter to oppose the matter for a while.It's nothing to me, but Murong Bai's face is already so dark that it can't get any darker.Just when I thought she was about to lose her temper, Murong Chen stepped forward and said:

"That's wrong. I, Daqin, want to promote virtuous talents, and His Majesty Wang Jun came out of Guigu, this decree was also written by His Majesty Wang Jun, and His Majesty came forward, based on emotion and reason."

A trace of surprise flashed in my eyes, I didn't expect that Murong Chen, the king's uncle of Daqin, would speak for me.It seems that I don't know him very well... I glanced at the smiling Murong Bai, and suddenly realized.

Let me tell you, how could King Anyang, who has always been ignorant of the government, speak for me? The co-author said it for the sake of his niece Murong Bai!

Because King Anyang opened his mouth, the ministers couldn't say anything more, but they still had some objections.At this time Qi Wang Murong Yu said:

"What Uncle Wang said is very true. His Majesty Wang Jun took this important task out of emotion and reason."

As soon as this remark came out, there was no further discussion.

Murong Bai's eyes sank, and he said lightly:

"If that's the case, let Wang Jun take up the post. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone is quiet.

Murong Bai said again:

"Retreat."

"Respectfully send off, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

That's it, I'm taking over.At the same time, my dramatic life began.

In this scene, I took a quick look at the flowers, but the world of mortals smiled.

Dependent origin and extinction, I also have no fruit.

The third section of Chapter 7: Midsummer of the seventh year of Qin Wangbai, the cycle of cause and effect.The common dust is like a net, and the emotional barrier is also firm, vertical, powerless to struggle.

Prince Qi's Study Room

"My lord," the counselor saluted Murong Yu, "I don't know what the lord is looking for?"

Murong Yu sat in front of the desk and said lightly:

"The king issued an order, and let the king implement the law. Heh... a woman is a woman after all..."

"My lord means..." the counselor said carefully.

"Send an order to the nobles who have good relations with Prince Qi's Mansion, so that they..." The man's voice dropped.

"promise."

"Heh... Disciple of Guigu..." Murong Yu chuckled lightly, "As soon as Qin came to the country, he issued a decree to cut down the power of nobles... This king wants to see, this Power, you can cut it or not!"

Palace of Longevity, Qin Palace

I sat on the ground, looking at the brief history of Qin in recent years and the history of the development of aristocratic royal power, while Murong Bai sat on a chair not far from me and watched the memorial.

She was not far from me, but she was silent.I don't know how long it took, but it started to rain outside the window.After a while, I had an extra coat on my shoulders, and Murong Bai said lightly at my side:

"The weather is unpredictable, don't catch typhoid fever."

I tightened the clothes she put on me, and my depressed mood for the past few days suddenly became enlightened because of her words.I laugh:

"I see."

She smiled faintly, walked up to me and sat down:

"Are you tired?"

"It's okay."

She looked at me, her eyes were silent and cold, with something I couldn't see clearly:

"It's your job."

I smiled and shook my head:

"Since we are husband and wife, why should we be more polite?"

She turned her head and looked at the rain falling outside the window. After a moment of silence, she spoke again:

"You...would you blame me?"

"It was strange just now, but it is not strange now."

"Why?"

I looked at her beautiful profile, and her tone was serious and gentle that I couldn't imagine:

"Because I rejoice in you."

"..."

I chuckled lightly, resisting the loss in my heart and said calmly:

"it's nothing."

"..." There was an expected silence.

She was silent for a while, then suddenly asked me:

"How much do you like me?"

"As much as I like you, I like you as much."

"Do you know..." She looked out the window and said calmly, "Love is the most ethereal thing in this world..."

"So you don't want to accept it?" I asked her.

"I am the king, the king of Qin."

"I know." I said sarcastically, "I know that you are the king of Qin."

But he sneered in his heart: Murong Bai, you only know that you are the king of Qin, but don't you know that you are also my wife?

"..."

Seeing that she was silent, I felt even more depressed for a while, and I became even more indiscriminate:

"Then do you know who I am?"

"..."

"I am your husband, and you are my wife. We are a husband and wife who have practiced the rites of the Duke of Zhou and are honest and obedient. You ignore me like this now, have you ever thought about what I should think?"

Before today, I always thought that even if I like Murong Bai, if I wait for her according to my temperament, I will definitely say nothing.But now I know that I have been in Qin for many days. Although I don't say anything, I still have complaints in my heart.

I don't understand why I am so happy with her, but she treats her like nothing.She didn't give me any hope, but she wanted to trap me.As for me, who is free by nature, even if I like her, I will always complain.

After she heard what I said, she moved her eyes from the window to my face, and her cold eyes stared at me for a long time, before she said:

"You blame me?"

I was startled, but there was no change on my face, but I didn't open my mouth to admit what she said.

She said again:

"Sisi, why are you blaming me now?"

"I......"

"It doesn't matter if you like me or you don't. As you said, it's all your business. The marriage between me and you is actually an additional transaction. If you are tempted first, or I don't give it to you You can't blame anyone for the reward you want. And don't you think it's ridiculous for you to accuse me like this?"

In my impression, this is the longest sentence she has ever said.And when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I was still not as calm as her. I knew in my heart that I didn't know the boundaries of the transaction. I was originally a disciple of Guigu descending the mountain, and entering the Qin Kingdom was just to exercise myself.And now I ask Murong Bai to like me as much as I like her... It is really difficult...

In the transaction, there is no provision that both parties need to pay equal love.

But even knowing this, I still feel uncomfortable.So I asked her:

"According to what you said, getting married...wasn't what you wanted?"

She looked at me silently, and my heart suddenly jumped wildly.I was afraid that she would speak, but I expected her to speak.

Finally, she said the truth that I vaguely guessed:

"Yes."

She admitted it.

She admitted that her marriage was not what she wanted, so what she said that day when she got married was completely deceiving me.I breathed a sigh of relief, but my heart began to ache.The severe pain made my voice tremble:

"You..." I followed my heart and asked the words that made me fail, "The one you want to marry... is Murong Wen... right? ?”

Her beautiful face is imprinted in my eyes at this moment, and I seem to see the sadness that flashes away in her eyes in a trance:

"Yes."

"I see." I raised my hand and took off the clothes on my back and put them on the desk.Then he turned around and said lightly to her:

"So, I know."

"..." She looked at me and said nothing.

I turned sideways, walked past her, opened the door, and walked out.

The Study Room of Princess Qin's Mansion

"His Royal Highness," the waiter outside the study said respectfully, "Your Highness, please see me."

Murong Siyin frowned:

"not see."

"promise."

Murong Siyin walked back and forth in the room a little restlessly, and looked up out the window from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.However, she did not wait for the young woman in green who was standing on the treetop outside the window.

"Come here!" Murong Siyin called out to the waiters.

"Princess."

"Go to Yalinju and bring back a woman named Linlang to me!"

"promise."

If you go away, you should come back now, right?

Qin Palace Imperial Study Room

Murong Bai stood in front of the window with her arms behind her back, she was still wearing a black royal robe, but today she was a bit lonely.

Pisen stood quietly behind her, not saying a word.

"Pisen." After a long time, Murong Bai opened his mouth. "The minister is here."

"The prescription you prescribed a few days ago is very effective. I haven't suffered from cold disease recently. I'm tired."

Pi Sen knew that Murong Bai Han's recovery was not due to his own medical skills, but he would not say anything.Although he is the chief medical officer of Daqin, he does not respect King Qin as much as other ministers.The reason, of course, is that their ancestors of the Pi family had an agreement with the Qin royal family for three generations: the three generations of the Pi family used the name of protecting the Qin royal family, Qin Bao and the Pi family's medical immortals.

And Pisen is the last generation to abide by the covenant of the third generation.

He and King Qin are just a gentleman's agreement.But with Guigu, it is a life and death friendship.

"Thank you sir." Pi Sen said flatly.

"There's one thing I don't know, can Ai Qing answer it?" Murong Bai Xun asked.

"The minister is determined, and he knows everything."

Murong Bai nodded, thought for a while before opening his mouth and said:

"Is there anything in the world that can make people forget the past of falling in love with the person they love?"

That day Su Yu's words were still ringing in her ears, she still had a plan in mind, but it hadn't taken shape yet.

"What the king said is the water of forgetting love?" Pi Sen felt a little weird, but he didn't reveal it.

Murong Bai shook his head, thought for a while, and said:

"It should be some kind of drug, and the person who has been hit has to be rescued by his loved one. After being rescued, it is impossible to recall the past..."

Pi Sen lowered his eyebrows and said honestly:

"This is still unfeeling Gu. According to what the king said, this kind of solution is very ancient. Nowadays, doctors and Gu masters will not use this solution."

"Why?"

"First, this solution fails to get rid of the Gu poison. Second, the Gu poisoner forgets the person he loves. If he remembers again, the Gu poison will go retrograde and he will die suddenly."

Murong Bai frowned:

"Can you solve it?"

"Yes." Pi Sen replied, "If you untie it, the things that the victim of the Gu has forgotten will be remembered again."

The room fell silent suddenly, and after about half a stick of incense, Pisen heard Murong Bai say:

"In this way, you will start to develop its antidote."

"promise."
