In mid-May, the pomegranate flowers outside the moat were as red as blood, and 30 cavalry smashed Li Yue's singing and dancing on the surface, and entered the imperial city like a broken bamboo.

How could the imperial guards who were pampered in the imperial city be able to defeat the blood-drinking blade at the border, but they scattered and fled in just a few days. The desolate street with only long winds left was extremely lonely. A sandalwood carriage rolled over the ground full of broken flesh and gunpowder smoke, and was slowly driving towards the palace surrounded by iron armor.

In such a huge imperial city, no one dared to stop the two carriages.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the real owner of the imperial city had returned.

After a year of ups and downs, Xu Zhaosu, the daughter-in-law of Li Yue, made a comeback.

The carriage drove all the way into the palace wall, and the tragic fight had come to an end. The blood soaked every inch of the steps, and the blood dried and solidified. There were many soldiers on both sides of the palace road, and the carriage stopped in front of the main hall.

The drug boy driving the car opened the curtain and bent over, making a gesture of respectful greeting. After a long time, a slender and pale hand bone slowly came out and rested on the drug boy's arm.

The iron armor clanged, the soldiers half-kneeled, and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood at her feet.

"Long live Your Majesty—"

The orderly and majestic shouts resounded through the sky, startling the crows eating the flesh and blood on the treetops.

The person walking out of the carriage was still wrapped in a thick cloak even in May when the weather was getting warmer. Under the noble purple and gold cloak was a black skirt. In sharp contrast to the majestic and heavy color of her body, her pale complexion could not be seen. Bloody, the person is even more thin and frightening, almost like a dying person.

It was indeed a dying person, Xu Zhaosu pressed the wound on his heart, and slowly walked out of the carriage with the help of the medicine boy.

The centrifugal orifice was only half an inch away, and any more deviation would be the end of death on the spot. When the long arrow was taken out from the heart, there was no anesthetic.

But she finally crawled out of this purgatory.

There was a chill in the imperial city, and the pungent smell of blood filled the wind. The female monarch stepped out of the carriage, pressed her trembling aches and pains, and looked around.

From being imprisoned to making a comeback, she has gone through a very difficult journey.

"where is she?"

The female monarch's voice was cold, although it was low, there was a sense of strength in the silence, and it contained the deep-seated hatred of wanting to eat her flesh alive.

The general who was ordered to attack the imperial city bowed his head under the terrifying oppression: "The rebellious minister Shi Qingyi escaped into the Yuming Palace under the protection of the guards, and couldn't resist."

In fact, there was a chance to escape. Before this, a group of people had already desperately fought for a way out, but the strange thing is that the culprit just fought and retreated, and retreated to the Yuming Palace before desperately resisting and insisting on defending.

The entanglement between this lady and the queen is inextricably linked. The eldest princess had already ordered the secret killing to leave no one alive, but on the eve of their killing, the seriously injured and dying queen came in person.

"Resist, don't come out?" The lady twitched the corners of her pale mouth, and repeated this sentence in a low voice, as if she was very puzzled why she was still stubbornly resisting, and the next moment she covered her heart and coughed in a low voice, coughing while coughing. Laugh slowly.

That smile was dazzling, full of sarcasm and madness, but blood froth snaked down from the corner of his mouth.

"If she doesn't come out, won't you force her to come out?"

All the soldiers were taken aback for a moment, the lady's words were chilling, they could naturally rush in regardless, but the lady is here just in case that person jumps over the wall in a hurry——

The young king closed his eyes slightly and then opened them suddenly, his eyes were full of madness and coldness: "For Gu, burn with fire—"

-

The Yuming Palace was already in a mess, the bluestone was stained with blood, and the skirt of the national teacher who was always dressed in white was also stained with blood, the last guard knelt down and said hoarsely: "My lord, Master Jing'e has passed away from the closet. Dao has escaped, so you can go too, leaving the green hills—"

Before he finished speaking, the national teacher who had been closing his eyes slowly opened his eyes. There was no impurity or panic in those clear eyes, but he just shook his head: "Once the master leaves, the secret way has been exposed, and it is useless." —Is there a fire going on outside?"

The Yuming Palace was built on a high place, and the pitch-black smoke rose from below, like a terrifying cloud.

Jinwei said shyly: "The fire in the back hall has already started, my lord, go through the front hall, I will protect you to fight a way out!"

The fire was soaring into the sky, leaving no retreat, the national teacher watched the fire approaching from afar, but after a long while, he gave a wry smile and whispered: "It turns out that she hates me so much..."

"I've been running away all my life and I'm tired. I don't want to run away anymore. You guys, go find your own way of life."

Konoe raised his head in shock, only to see a smoky fire shining on the woman's face, flickering on and off, behind her were sparks flickering, and the sea of ​​flames meandered to the sky behind her.

But she seemed to be unaware, and walked towards the depths of the bright fire.

"grown ups--"

Jin Wei wanted to move forward in horror, but a beam fell suddenly, blocking his way and lifting up a wall of fire, and also lifted up the corner of the skirt that was stained with dust and mud.

They could only watch helplessly as she walked step by step into the depths of the sea of ​​flames without looking back.

-

Later, Xu Zhaosu dreamed that this night, the fire was raging, and the flames turned the long night into day. She thought that a femme fatale like Shi Qingyi must be the most fearful of death, and must come out, but until the end, there was a big Yuming Palace All that was burned was the ruins, and she never came out.

Sometimes one step is wrong, and step by step is wrong.

She has been waiting for Shi Qingyi to come out by herself, waiting for her to bow her head, she never thought that Shi Qingyi would rather die than bow to her.

By the time she realized it, the Yuming Palace had already become a sea of ​​flames, and the flames were so big that it seemed that as long as she got a little closer, it would be completely engulfed.

——Everything is too late.

The ruthless mask on her face was cracked, and she began to tremble uncontrollably. She dragged her half-disabled legs and tried to get close to the burning palace, but was held tightly by someone.

"Shi Qing Yi—"

The voice was shrill and sharp, enough to break the silence of the long night, and his eyes were filled with burning despair and madness. If he hadn't been held down by someone with outstanding martial arts skills, he might have rushed into the fire without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, you can't go! It's too late—"

Her already half-disabled legs couldn't use much strength. She wanted to struggle forward, but within a few steps she staggered and fell to the ground. Her head was bleeding, and the blue bricks on the ground had worn away her forehead and hands. The long hair was curled up because of being too close to the fire, covered in black ash and blood, she stared at the sea of ​​flames in front of her, no one, no one came out——

"You don't want to see me like that? Would you rather die than stay by my side?!"

No one answered her, only billows of smoke rushed into the sky.

In a trance, I heard a cold voice behind me: "What are you still doing? Take Your Majesty back—"

Then there was a long faint, she dreamed repeatedly, and had a high fever.

I dreamed that the girl in white was brought down from the snow mountain by her, holding her hand, although she was forced to, and her expression was extremely cold, but she was still willing to reach out to support her when she was about to fall, pretending it was just unintentional, and tilted her head Not daring to look at her no matter what, she woke up suddenly, only to find that she was already on the soft couch in Mingze Hall.

It wasn't the snow-capped mountains, and there was no girl around her who dared not look at her. Only the evening sun fell into the window lattice, and transparent dust floated in the air.

The two palaces were too close, and there was still smoke and dust floating in the wind, reminding her that everything was not a dream. Sitting beside the couch was the eldest princess, her own aunt, watching her quietly.

"What about her?"

It took a long time for the female gentleman to ask this sentence from her throat, her voice was hoarse, and she was looking forward to an impossible ending.

The Eldest Princess was silent for a moment, then waved her hand, Yao Boy walked in respectfully, holding a small porcelain altar in her hand, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, here... ..."

She stared at the small porcelain altar for a long time, then slowly shook her head: "No, no, you lied——"

How could Shi Qingyi die like this?They've been entangled for decades, and she hasn't paid back what she owed herself, so how could she just die like this?

Why did she just leave herself alone and be so relieved?

Her voice was sharp and firm, but the warm liquid slowly flowed from the corners of her dry eyes. The drug boy didn't dare to raise his head, but just raised the porcelain altar above his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Palace of Yuming has been burned into ruins, the national teacher... ..."

Yaotong seemed to be unable to bear it, and lowered his head: "The national teacher didn't come out..."

Your Majesty actually left a chance for the national teacher, as long as she came out of the front hall, she would be able to survive, but who would have thought that the national teacher chose that dead end.

She is herself and doesn't want to live anymore.

The eldest princess sighed, if she was still alive, she would still have a headache for her niece who was bewitched, but now that she is gone, it saves a lot of trouble, so she waved her hand to ask the medicine boy to put down the porcelain altar, and she also retreated.

She can no longer interfere with these grievances and grievances, but she just hopes that Zhaosu can come out as soon as possible.

Just forcing the loved one to death with his own hands, this kind of pain is not easy to say.

In the empty hall, the female monarch hugged the cold porcelain altar. Warm tears fell from the corners of her eyes and dripped down on the altar. Her voice was hoarse as if she was laughing at herself: "Do you hate me so much?" ? Would you rather die than bow your head and lie to me?"

"How hard can it be to lie to me that you like me? You have been lying to me for so long, why can't you continue, as long as you lie, I will believe it..."

Tears wet the front of the dress, mixed with the blood stains little by little, dyeing the dress into scarlet scarlet, blood froth winding from the corners of her mouth, she didn't know if the old wound was split open or her heart was ashes, she just felt empty in her heart, Can't hold anything anymore.

The blood was flowing meanderingly, the hall was empty, she had been in poor health and suddenly died, she passed out again, just when she was about to fall to the ground, a hand was suddenly stretched out in nothingness to stabilize her Steady into his arms.

Shi Qingyi sighed, pushed the ashes jar out of her hand and asked the system: "Something happened to the target, why don't you save him?"

The system pretended to be dead: "Just now your pain shielding has consumed too much of my energy, and I can't save it. I can only save it according to the laws of this world."

"?"

"You have the elixir of Zhongnan Mountain on your body."

"What do you want?" The voice fell, and the system just wanted to refute when it heard a click, indicating that the host had shut down the system permissions.

"..."

The corners of the pale lips were tightly closed, stained with traces of blood, and the pills could not be fed when they touched the corners of the lips, probably because they were ashamed and did not want to live.

Shi Qingyi was silent for a moment, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes, finally he took the medicine with a sigh, lowered his eyes and lowered his head.

Lips and tongues pressed against each other, gently licking the wound at the corner of her mouth bitten by him, pouring warm water into her mouth, and then passing over the pill hidden at the bottom of her tongue.

The bitter taste filled the lips and tongue, maybe it was too bitter, the thick eyelashes of the comatose person trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up, Shi Qingyi covered her hands in time, covering her eyes when she opened her eyes. eyes.

The warm liquid soon permeated from her fingers. She was stunned for a moment, swallowed the bitter pill obediently, and groped to hug her back with her hands, her movements were very light, as if she was afraid that a little force would disturb the front. coming soul.

"Qingyi, is that you?" It took a long time before she dared to speak tremblingly.

Shi Qingyi was silent.

Xu Zhaosu hugged her tightly with one hand, and groped with trembling hand, from the back all the way to the ears, then the thin jaw, the corners of the lips and the bridge of the nose, and finally the eyebrows, as if he was repeatedly confirming something.

"Qing Yi, don't go, let me see how you are?"

She was cautious, trying to break free from the hands covering her eyes, but she didn't dare to break free completely as if she was afraid that she would get angry.

"It's not pretty," Shi Qingyi didn't let go, her voice slowly, with a hoarse sigh, rubbed the corners of her moist eyes, and wiped away the tears bit by bit: "Don't look."

People who were burnt to death must be unattractive. It is said that some of them are distorted and some only have charred bones left, which is terrifying and painful.

This sentence broke Xu Zhaosu's defenses, the tears couldn't be wiped dry, they kept slipping from the corners of his eyes, all soaked into Shi Qingyi's palm.

It took a long time to hear a helpless sigh, the man bent down and removed his hand, the corners of his warm lips were close to the corners of her eyes, kissing away the salty tears bit by bit, and the cold fragrance of plum blossoms invaded her nostrils.

Xu Zhaosu tried his best to open his eyes and look at her, but he patted her back lightly with one hand. An irresistible sense of sleepiness came over him, and he fell into a deep sleep unstoppably. The last thing he heard was someone softly whispering in his ear. whispered: "Don't cry all the time, it's not good for your eyes..."

When Xu Zhaosu woke up again, the sky was already bright, Yaotong and the imperial physician were on the side, talking about how dangerous it was last night, if the female monarch hadn't taken a Zhongnanshan elixir and broke the teacup to call people in, I don't know what would happen thing.

The female gentleman glanced around, and after a while, she slowly looked away in disappointment, she just stretched out a hand to touch the small urn beside the couch and murmured softly: "I have never carried any elixir with me."

The imperial doctor and the medicine boy didn't dare to slander, thinking that with the current appearance of the female monarch, whoever dares to say a word is looking for death, even if they clearly found the jade bottle containing the pills on the female monarch.

Xu Zhaosu didn't expect them to answer anything, so he asked after a while, "What day was yesterday?"

The medicine boy and the imperial physician looked at each other, and finally bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday was the first seven of the national teachers..."

His Majesty has been ill on and off since that night, and he can't even remember the days.

It turned out to be like this, her eyelashes drooped, and she hugged the porcelain jar tightly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh: "So, you came to see me for the last time..."

No one dared to speak, the hall was silent, only the sunlight fell gently on the white marble bricks, no one noticed that there was a wrong light and shadow, and there seemed to be a person standing quietly in a certain corner of the hall.

Shi Qingyi was gone, but Xu Zhaosu was still alive, she began to search for Shi Qingyi's remnants, maybe it was due to the unqing hatred, maybe it was because of some other unspoken reasons.

Six months after Shi Qingyi's death, the guard who had followed her to the end was arrested, tied up in chains and taken into Mingze Hall.

The magnificent palace in the past was gloomy and terrifying, with choking smoke burning everywhere, and the black silk and satin surrounded the entire palace so that the sun could not enter. Countless Taoist monks knelt outside the palace, but the inside was empty, only the darkness The ever-burning lamp lights up a little place.

The female monarch in the deepest part of the palace was covered in black, her whole body was hidden in the darkness, only her face was pale and terrifying, she raised her head from the smoke, and looked at him gravely.

"Did she say anything before she went?"

The guard gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The lady coughed twice wearily, and flipped the pages in her hand: "During the days when you were fleeing, you met a girl who washed clothes by the banks of the Weishui River. She saved you by the streams. You don't want anything to happen to her, do you?"

The personal guard was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head with difficulty: "The national teacher said, it should be as His Majesty wishes."

If you ask for it, you will get it.

I don't know what joint to figure out, the lady suddenly paused, and the book in her hand fell to the ground.

She thought that she set the fire to kill her, but she clearly just wanted to force her out, how could it be like this, how could it be like this——

Fate seemed to play a huge joke on her. She wanted to laugh, but she choked unintentionally. She could only cough with difficulty, unable to lift her head, and could only bend down and gasp for breath with difficulty.

The personal guard kowtowed with tears all over his face: "It has nothing to do with her, it has nothing to do with her, Your Majesty please let her go, please..."

As if he felt that the chips were not enough, he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "The secret of the national teacher is in the dark compartment of the Mingze Palace study, I saw it with my own eyes... Please let her go-"

The lady ordered him to take him down, and she staggered towards the study by herself. She hurriedly waited until she was really close, but then stopped suddenly. After a long time, she dared to open the door and walk in alone.

It was well hidden, but it was just a square box that couldn't hold many things. She opened it with trembling hands, and the mechanism clicked. She even thought it would be better if there was a murderous intent hidden inside, so that she wouldn't have to suffer like this if she died.

Inside, there was only a withered branch of plum blossom and a neatly written piece of rice paper.

A poem was written on the paper in clear and elegant handwriting.

——Love is as deep as the sea, and the past is as far away as the sky.

Now the woman who has power all over the world suddenly can no longer stand still, holding on to the bookshelf and slipping to the ground inch by inch, the arrow wound in her heart has not healed for six months, and now she is in pain again, almost torn apart, all limbs are shattered There was a chill.

The dead branch was given to her by myself back then. The lovesickness is as deep as the sea, and the past is as far away as the sky. It is a long and bitter unrequited love described in Le Wan's poem. It turns out that she was not the only one who was moved in that long time.

This cognition almost overthrows everything before, but why does she clearly love herself but never admits it, never accepts it, and pushes the two of them to a dead end again and again?

She had too many questions in her mind, but with the person's departure, everything became an insoluble mystery, as if fate was mocking her wantonly with malice.

-

"The hatred value is 50.00%, which has been reduced by almost half." The system sighed, "Sure enough, you voluntarily killed and there is no way to make her give up hatred completely. There is still 50.00% hatred value. I am optimistic about you as the host."

"By the way, the heroine was captured by Xu Zhaosu, you have to rush over to save her life."

"I don't remember this part in the plot, why was she arrested?" Shi Qingyi frowned.

"Well, there wasn't originally," the system mobilized the plot, with a faint voice, "It's not because he looks like you, Xu Zhaosu is now a mad dog, whoever catches and bites."

The corner of Shi Qingyi's mouth twitched, and he was walking on a long street in a remote county town. The county magistrate had just posted a notice, and many people were talking about it.

"Is there anyone who can read and read? What is written on it?"

"It's useless to read it, it's definitely none of your business..."

"How do you know if you don't read it? Read it and try it, read it—"

The officer frowned impatiently, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the side to remove the notice.

The officer stared in astonishment at the woman in coarse linen and wearing a simple mask, and shouted, "What are you doing? Do you know what this is written? How dare you expose it randomly?"

The woman smiled lightly, and said: "Yes, I know, the Eldest Princess seeks medical treatment for His Majesty."

On the contrary, the official was slightly taken aback. Although the girl looked unattractive, her voice was so clear and sweet that it moved my heart.
