spring water

Song Manjun remembers that when they were very young, their Song family was not in the prosperous Lanzhou City, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but in Liaozhong, a vast area with sparsely populated loess.

If compared with Lanzhou, Liaozhong is like a desert.Before Song Manjun was ten years old, there was no market, no private school, no tofu nao that could be drunk within ten steps, and even water had to be saved.There are only howling north winds and scorching sun every day.

It was a vast plateau.

Song Manjun was born in Liaozhong, bored. Fortunately, although his father is a businessman, he is also a scholar. There is a whole house of books in his family. , so she can only stay at home and read and practice calligraphy.

Mr. Song is not a doctor, and his family has very few skills in Chinese medicine, but Song Manjun found out the only two books. He read them so much that he almost tore the books.

Seeing that his daughter was so obsessed with medical books, the master specially asked someone to move two boxes of medical books from the capital for his daughter to study.

When Song Manjun was ten years old, Liaozhong had his first private school, and Master Song immediately sent her to study in the private school.Although the private school in Liaozhong couldn't understand the fact that a girl came to learn to show her face, but after Master Song's repeated requests, she finally reluctantly agreed.

Song Manjun began his long journey to school.

It was also in the private school that she met Zhenzhen.

Zhenzhen lived with her grandma since she was a child, her family was poor, she was full for one meal and hungry for another, and if she ate cornmeal for this meal, it is unknown where the next meal will be.But she likes reading very much. There are no books at home. She often goes to the window of the private school to listen to the sound of the teacher teaching and the students reading aloud.

"What are you doing hiding there?" One day Song Manjun found Zhenzhen who was hugging the trunk of a tree. When Zhenzhen looked down, it was rare to see a girl of his age.

"I'm... eavesdropping on you reading." Li Zhen replied shyly.

"Eavesdropping?" Song Manjun looked at the other party's coarse clothes, and he knew it in his heart. He greeted her to come down, and stuffed her with the book in his arms. "From now on, if you want to read, come to me."

"But, you gave me the book, what do you do?"

"Ask my parents for silver."

"..." Such a scary rich lady.

At the beginning, Zhen Zhen was a little afraid of Song Manjun. Although the other party was about the same age as him, he always had a cold face, and he didn't look into other people's eyes when he spoke. Sometimes he would greet her enthusiastically and she would always ignore her. .Li Zhen had some doubts, did the other party want to be friends with him?

However, Song Manjun often gave Zhenzhen books, and would discuss the etiquette and morality in the books with Zhenzhen.Only when discussing the world in the book, did Zhenzhen feel that Song Manjun regarded himself as a friend and was very happy.

The two chatted endlessly, and they would bring out the rice wine brewed at home and drink it together.

Regardless of the heights of the heavens and the earth, and regardless of the etiquette, righteousness and shame, they only want to be happy.

It's a pity that the happiness is short-lived. Before the shock of grandma's death subsided, Zhenzhen heard that Song Manjun's family was moving out.

"Where are you going to move?" Li Zhen had always respected and feared Song Manjun, and dared not ask her about her personal affairs.But thinking that there will be no such person in her life from now on, Qian Zhen still finds it difficult to accept, and she still has to ask the bottom line.

"Move to Lanzhou City in the south. My father said that it is better to do business there, and there are bigger schools."

"Then will you come back?"

"Not anymore."

"..." Li Zhen grabbed the corner of his clothes, holding back tears.

People from two worlds, there is no need to do extra things, right?

Li Zhen tried her best to force a smile, wanting to say goodbye to Song Manjun.

"Your grandma passed away. How will you live in the future?" Song Manjun was the first to ask.

"I do not know either……"

"Then, how about going to Lanzhou City with me?"

I never thought I would receive such an invitation!

He Manjun to Lanzhou City?What will Jiangnan...be like?

Jiangnan...

When Song Manjun woke up, the straw in the dungeon still smelled musty.

It has been a long time since she dreamed of Danzhen, and she was still wearing a ragged cotton jacket in the northwest when she was a child.

Song Manjun stood up and relieved for a while, looking out through the narrow window, it was pitch black outside.

Zhenzhen, if you hadn't met me, you might be able to live well in Liaozhong now.Maybe you marry a rough man, and you can live comfortably with simple tea and light food every day; or maybe someone with insight and knowledge will make you rich and powerful, which is even more wonderful.It's a pity that you followed my words and came to Lanzhou City with me, and then entered the palace instead of me without my knowledge, and finally died in the palace without letting me see even a straw bed.

When I heard the news of your death, I asked someone to go to the palace to find out the truth. The moment I knew that you were executed by the emperor because you didn't want to go to bed, I swore that I would kill your enemy with my own hands.

It's a pity that I was proud all my life, but I couldn't kill the current emperor by myself.I have been looking for opportunities, marrying Wei Zhongcheng, then rebelling, and now cooperating with Liu Yutang and the others... I understand that I am crazy in this series of things, I am always looking for someone or someone Something to distract me, so that I don't think about you, so that I can give myself a reason to live longer without you.I will kill your enemy with my own hands, with my own hands.I also understand that many people want me to die. I know that I am selfish, and I always only consider my own feelings.I will get what I like, get rid of what I don't like, and tease what I find interesting.Life is short, of course I will not be in a cocoon, I want to be happy, just like drinking and singing with you back then, talking about all the interesting things in the world.

In the end, it seems that I am living for you, as if I have so much affection for you, but I never treat you well when you are with me.

I didn't get to see you for the last time, and I don't even know where your dead body is.

But you are here, you must be somewhere in this palace.Perhaps, right now by my side?It's a pity I can't perceive you.

If I can find your dead body, I will hug you with all my might.

The huge lightning struck the imperial garden directly, and the imperial garden was empty. The wind and rain almost watered all the flowers and plants, but there was a flower field that was meticulously cared for.

The queen stood upright in the rain, looking at the flowers covered in fine silk and satin in front of her, she roared and rushed up to tear off the silk and satin, trampling on those flowers hard.

Tears and sweat mixed with rain were raging on her face. She really wanted to stop and return to her mother, but as long as she thought of Chunshui's face, she wanted to make her face like the flowers she planted together. crushed!

She must die!

"Your Majesty, Chun'er is going back to Liao Kingdom."

"what!"

It's been a long time, and when we meet again, I get such news. The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, and for a moment didn't know what to say to Chunshui.

Chun Shui was very leisurely: "The emperor seems to be in poor health, but don't work too hard on state affairs, your health is important."

"Chun'er, you clearly know that I am not working hard because of state affairs, but..."

"Your Majesty." Chun Shui rushed to talk, "Chun'er left the imperial city at noon today, Your Majesty must take care of himself in the future."

The emperor looked at Chunshui, his self-esteem and status added, and he didn't have any more words.

At noon, the south gate of the imperial city.

Chun Shui got into the carriage, and a group of Liao soldiers and grooms went forward together.Walking to the mountain path, many masked assassins suddenly appeared from the big trees, hacking at Chunshui's carriage.

The groom was the first to be hacked to death, and the soldiers came up to resist one after another, but they were all killed.

The masked assassin took care of those in the way, and lifted the curtain of the carriage with a smile, only to find that it was empty inside!

When he was shocked, he was hit hard on the back of the head and fainted several times.The rest turned their heads in horror, only to see the head of the Imperial Guard!

"Your Majesty, if Master Liu hadn't been smart enough to guess that someone wanted to murder Chun'er, and told Chunshui not to go out of the city to send an empty carriage to try it out first, Chun'er would have been decapitated by now." Chun Shui always called himself Chun'er in front of the emperor. , the emperor did not feel that there was anything inappropriate.

The emperor was so furious that he tortured people to extract a confession, and he wanted those assassins to reveal who was behind the scenes.

"There's no need to force a confession, I sent those personnel." The queen came out awe-inspiring, neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm the one who will kill this bitch!"

The emperor's eyes were already narrowed.

"Today I can't kill her, so I have nothing to say. I have already understood the emperor's thoughts, so please feel free to deal with it. But the emperor, the concubine and the emperor have been married for ten years, and there are some things that the concubine still has to explain in the end. She She must not be a mortal, she is a monster, the national teacher is right, she is poisonous, anyone who gets infected with her will definitely die. For sure."

The queen was deposed and thrown into limbo.

After the water seal in the spring of the following year, the Ministry of Rites submitted it to the emperor, and the emperor gave her the title, Empress Yanxiao.

That has been Shuchang for 15 years.
