Chapter 173 He Cries
My body leaned back, and the snake Xinzi didn't lick my face. I squinted my eyes and asked Xuan Ji with a smile: "If you don't tell me, why do you have to let your pet do this?"
"If it licks you, even ten of you will not be able to hide." Xuan Ji said with disdain, slowly closing his fingers and blew a loud whistle.
"I'm thankful for this?" I watched the huge snake slowly pull down and hide in the corner, as obedient as a dog.
"You don't have to be polite." Xuan Ji's throat was rough and cold because of the burning charcoal: "What is the purpose of going to see ginger wine?"
"No purpose, I just want to take a look." I looked silent and said lightly: "I'm sure she's buried in the soil, and someone has taken away the body."
Xuan Ji glanced at me, picked up the umbrella beside him, and walked out.
I followed him and when I arrived at the door, I heard a bang, and a muffled thunder exploded in the sky.
The sky was shining brightly before, but now it is a bolt from the blue. The fallen rain in autumn is like a baby's face, changing as soon as you say it.
I went back and got an oil-paper umbrella and left his yard one by one with Xuan Ji. The rainwater was like a man pouring down with a basin. The umbrella was useless. In a short while, I was wet all over.
The eunuchs who were taking care of me, because Xuan Ji was not that tight, he successfully took me away from the wine shop.
The streets washed away by heavy rain were as clean as a mirror, and a few people rushed to the road, wet their clothes.
The begonia forest outside the city has petals falling all over the ground, accompanied by the mud, and drifting with sewage.
I like begonia, but I didn't expect that Qi Jingque would bury me in the begonia forest. This begonia forest outside the capital was an unknown race a few years ago.
The crabapple planted in all seasons, which bloom two seasons a year, in spring and autumn. Every time it blooms, the ladies and wives of aristocratic families in the capital will come for a trip and pick a few branches to go home.
Xuan Ji pointed to the crabapple: "Where she buried her bones is under the largest crabapple tree in the crabapple. If you go in, see the one with the largest flowers."
Under the autumn storm, no matter how beautiful the crabapple flowers are, they are scattered into mud, becoming the souls under their feet and fertilizers in the soil.
I held an umbrella and walked in, stepping on the crabapple flowers every step. The more I walked in, the heavier my heart became and harder to breathe.
Until he saw the largest crabapple tree, his eyes were shocked. Qi Jingque, who should have been in the wine shop under the largest crabapple tree in the crabapple forest, was soaked all over, his eyes closed, his face pressed against a grave, and his hands were wrapped around the grave.
The rain hit his face and flowed down his eyes, as if he was crying.
Suddenly, my heart started to hurt, so painful that I couldn't take any steps and could no longer move forward.
My brows pounded violently, and the rain and fog covered my eyes. I couldn't understand that Qi Jingque wanted me to die before, but now he is in front of my grave. He doesn't care about the mud and messy water, he is tightly attached, as if he is holding the most important thing in his life.
A bold idea came out in my heart and was soon rejected by me. If he loved me, he would not be able to treat me like before. If he did not love me, he would not be able to explain it now.
The pain in my heart turned into panic that made me slowly retreat and retreat away. No matter what thought he had ever thought about me, it was the past, now I just wanted to take revenge.
Retreat to the place I thought was safe, I turned around and ran out of the Begonia Forest in one go.
There was no place left on my body, and Xuan Ji was gone for a long time. I ran all the way, running from the Begonia Forest into the capital.
In the heavy rain, I threw away the wine guards and followed my eunuch, wore a straw raincoat and cloak, and quietly entered the palace.
He was wet all over, and Helianxi didn't bother me at all, so he reached out to hug me.
I glanced coldly and his hands stretched out stopped in half.
I said to him coldly: "I want to wash up, don't tell anyone I'm here. After I wash up, let Qin Wu come in."
No one can enter the emperor's bedroom without the emperor's imperial edict. I washed up and looked at myself in the bronze mirror. My face was soaked in hot water. With a touch of charm, my eyes were hooked, and I looked like a demon concubine.
With a veil applied to the face, black hair covered most of the forehead, only eyes were exposed. Qin Wu walked in and I put a whole piece of military order on the table, "I order you to lead troops to Beijing in six days."
Qin Wu frowned into the character "Chuan", picked up the military order on the table, looked around, and snapped it, broke the military order in half, took half in his hand, handed it back to me, and knelt in front of me on one knee: "I will obey the order!"
"I'm sorry General Qin." I said lightly.
Qin Wu left the palace and braved the storm and returned to Beidaying with rushing horses.
The advantage of a storm is that you wear straw raincoats and cloaks everywhere, making no one see who it is, and it is most likely to be embarrassed.
I lived in the emperor's bedroom. For Qi Jingque, I was missing and I had lived a safe life for a few days.
In the court, Grand Tutor Su overwhelmed the empress dowager, and countless civil and military officials and ministers accompanied him, allowing Helian Xi to confer Su Muhua as the queen.
As for Ni Hannian, she could only get married after three years of mourning. The empress dowager refused to admit that a woman other than Ni Hannian would be the queen.
In the court, because of this incident, the empress dowager fought with civil and military officials, and Helian Xi became a bystander.
Xie Qingyin, who was in the cold palace, suffered from miscarriage and was heartbroken. She felt like she had become a different person. She came over to tell me, and I nodded to show that I understood.
It was late at night and I was half lying on the soft couch, rubbing half of the military command with my hand. I was lost for a long time. When I raised my eyes, I saw Helianxi lying on the dragon couch, holding his head with his hands, and looking at me without blinking.
I moved and opened my mouth, "The Xie family has a lot of money. You told Mu Shifang to let him take care of the cold palace well and don't let someone lose money on Xie Qingyin, she is still useful."
"I want to send her out of the palace." Helian Xi sat up from the dragon couch, still staring at me: "Give her an imperial edict to return to the Xie family in Yizhou to cultivate."
I frowned: "Do you want her to take charge of the Xie family and become your private warehouse?"
Helianxi's mouth curled, and his light brown eyes shone brightly: "Yes, she is in charge of the Xie family in Yizhou, which is more useful than in the palace."
I thought about it: "What you said is, then you'd better get her out of the palace tomorrow, and the next day, Qin Wu's Beidaying will enter Beijing."
"Bei Daying entered Beijing?" Helianxi's face darkened: "The Queen Mother's imperial guards have nearly 150,000 in the capital. Bei Daying entered Beijing, which was like rebellion."
"It's not a rebellion, it's a guard." I corrected him gloomyly: "If you want to make Su Muhua the Empress, the Empress Dowager is unwilling to do so. She is so angry that she wants to imprison you. When Beidaying enters the palace to protect the guards, all civil and military officials can be proved."
