Chapter 80: Jinyutai 28
The darkness of the night is as thick as ink that cannot be melted. The sound of the door opening is very heavy, and it is low and abrupt at night. The cold wind sneaked into the hall, lifted the curtains layer by layer, and the dim lights of the candles on the shelves swayed.
Chen Rong walked into the hall with a bowl of soup and medicine, walking slowly, dressed properly, silver-white official robe dragged from the ground, breathing long and steady.
"Cough cough cough." A suppressed cough came from the depths of the palace.
His voice paused, and Yu Guang glanced at the shadow behind the curtain, "Who is outside?"
An Zhongdao was stunned for a moment: "It's the National Teacher."
"What is she here for?" Murong Qiankun frowned, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
Chen Rong's figure came out of the darkness completely, her face was frosty, and the bowl in her hand was still steaming, "Your Majesty should go."
Murong Qiankun raised his head and met Chen Rong's cold eyes in shock, his lips trembling: "How dare you murder me, who are you?!"
"
& nbsp;
? Chen Rong, you have time to regret..."
Chen Rong looked at him with a smile, with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, she didn't want to talk nonsense for too long, she gave An Zhongdao a wink, "You are not me, how do you know that all this is related to me Unintentional?"
She looked at the dying emperor struggling with dark eyes. The man who likes to smile elegantly has already drank the big bowl of medicine, breathing hard like a fish on the shore.
Chen Rong bent down and took the brocade box under his pillow, not knowing where Murong Qiankun's strength came from, he suddenly returned to the light, grabbing Chen Rong's hand tightly, with extremely resentful eyes look at her.
"Trouble the kingdom, never!"
"The crown prince and the third prince have been fighting for the throne for so long. If you know that you have passed the throne to the sixth prince, who is sick and does not want to inherit the throne, I'm afraid you will be so angry?" Chen Rongcu said narrowly. , and also admires this Murong Qiankun who does not make others feel better.
"Your Majesty, let's leave the next thing to the minister, right?" Go outside the hall.
The wind was strong and urgent, as if it was going to turn the blackness of the night upside down.
She was at the threshold when she heard a shrill cry behind her.
"The Emperor is dead—"
The footsteps stopped, and then strode out, and the firelight below the hundred steps gradually gathered.
Chen Rong smiled contemptuously and detoured to Jinyutai.
This night is destined to be uneasy - the emperor died, but the imperial decree disappeared.
The prince took the lead in enclosing the palace, knowing that most of the imperial decrees were on Chen Rong, but after digging three feet in the ground, no trace of Chen Rong was found.
The day happened to be the day of the court, but the officials could not even enter the palace gate. The prince only said that His Majesty was in critical condition and could not see anyone.
Chen Rong and Murong Yexuan were like thorns in Murong Ji's heart, making him restless for a moment.
The sunset in the distance fell, and the darkness finally swallowed the last ray of light. The entire Forbidden Palace was shrouded in darkness, with only a few faint palace lanterns swaying.
The palace was quiet.
Murong Li and Chen Rong sat side by side on the star-gazing platform next to the golden jade platform, Chen Rong was wearing a white fox fur robe and wrapped himself tightly.
Murong Li put her arms around the hollow lotus-patterned heater, her eyes widened, and the fire outside the Forbidden Palace wall was getting closer and closer. Her throat was a little dry, her white fingers clenched the stove tightly.
"You shouldn't have come in." Chen Rong turned to look at Murong Li, "If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Murong Li laughed softly, turned to look at her somewhat haggard, "If I leave, what will you do?" She pursed her red lips, and there was no fear in her eyes, "Although I don't know why you have to get involved, but I will accompany you no matter what you do."
She frowned, hugged Chen Rong's arm, and leaned her head gently on Chen Rong's shoulder, her voice was low and soft: "Who made you my Arong? ?"
Chen Rong raised her hand and rubbed her head: "In case..."
She still has the mind to joke.
Chen Rong shook her head helplessly, put her hand on Murongli's shoulder, and hugged her tightly, with a firm tone, "As long as I'm here, no one can touch a single hair on you. "
You really don't have to get involved."
Chen Rong stroked her cheek, gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes, without speaking.
Chen Rong wanted to say that she was not as innocent as Murong Li thought, so she didn't say any more, she just smiled and glanced at the palace gate, which was already blazing into the sky, a deep look flashed in her eyes, "I'll give you a gift. How about fireworks?"
"Fireworks?" Murongli wondered if her master was confused, she raised her hand and touched her forehead, "You don't have a fever."
Chen Rong grabbed her little hand and held it in her own, with an inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Your Highness, the troops of the Third Prince have surrounded the Forbidden City."
Murongji sat on the dragon chair, wearing bright yellow clothes, holding the jade seal in his hand lovingly, with obsession in his eyes, "Keep it well, until the troops of father-in-law and grandmother arrive. , do it now."
"Murong Yexuan rebelled and killed the late emperor. It's really everyone's turn to kill him." He smiled, his eyes a little distressed: "It's a pity she can't see today, but..." Murong Ji's face turned gloomy, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely avenge her with my own hands."
He was talking about the Crown Princess.
The subordinate respectfully said: "Yes."
Murong Ji has been humiliated for many years and finally waited for this day.
From now on, all the glory, wealth and power will be his.
"Bring that woman up."
It was not enough time, but Yu Yao, who was covered in blood, was taken to the main hall and forced to kneel on the ground.
"Do you think Murong Yexuan will give up the throne for you later?" Murong Ji looked down at Yu Yao, and sneered: "No, it's just a woman, why? No match for his wolf ambition."
"But... it would be nice if you use him to block him."
Yu Yao said weakly: "What do you want to do? You won't win, the villain will be successful." The smile on her face was sarcastic and dazzling.
Murongji's heart is naturally not shaken by Yu Yao with a few words, playing with the jade seal in his hand, "I am the prince, this throne is mine." He squinted: " No matter what, it will never be Murong Yexuan's turn."
Yu Yao pouted, turned her eyes away, and straightened her back: "It's too early to be happy now."
Murongji raised his hand and put it on his lips, and laughed, with mockery in his voice, "In that case, you should take a good look at how he failed miserably."
Outside the city.
Murong Yexuan stood in front of the crowd in armor, holding a sword in his hand, with a solemn and hostile look on his brows.
"Three routes have been won." The military advisor said in a low voice: "As long as you give an order, you can take the nave like a broken bamboo."
Murong Yexuan looked at the solemn imperial city: "Where is she?"
Murong Yexuan's hand clenched the hilt of the sword, his teeth rattled, "How are you?"
"The child is gone."
At this moment, a person hurried in and said, "Prince has moved."
The strategist quickly changed the subject: "What action?"
"He...he..." The man glanced at Murong Yexuan and didn't dare to speak, he just looked at the city wall not far away.
"Miss Yu..." The military advisor's pupils shrank, and Murong Yexuan, who was beside him, let go of his aura, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
"Leave me alone!" Yu Yao saw Murong Yexuan's figure, her skin was blue from the cold, and her teeth trembled when she spoke, "Don't forget what you want."
Murong Yexuan was held back.
Yu Yao smiled at him and closed her eyes, she couldn't bear it any longer after suffering so much humiliation.
Can't be a drag on Murong Yexuan...
"No!" Murong Yexuan let out a low roar when she saw her eyes closed, like the last roar of a trapped beast.
Yu Yao bit her tongue and slowly tilted her head down. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't breathe anymore.
Murongji who heard the news just showed a cruel smile, "He should also taste the feeling of losing his love."
There are too many joys and sorrows in the world.
Chen Rong didn't know what happened.
And from the day that Murong Li was ordered to marry, there was not much left of her superfluous conscience.
Chen Rong hesitated for a moment: "...otherwise?"
System: "…"
Murong Li feels that life is like this snow, the fog is heavy and you can't see the way forward, but you only need to cherish the people in front of you.
"I'm really curious, why was your cooking so good back then, why is it so bad now?" Murongli handed a bunch of meat to Chen Rong: "Could it be that you didn't cook it?"
Chen Rong met Murong Li's suspicious eyes and smiled: "Is it me, is it important?"
"Not important."
After eating, Chen Rongcai looked into the distance in silence, and Murongli didn't speak for a while.
Houses and palaces are lined up in rows, pure and white. Covering the prosperity or filth below, it is just white.
Murong Li felt that she had never seen through Chen Rong, or that she always thought too complicated, she was just sure that Chen Rong loved her.
The tenderness in her eyes will not deceive.
"Did you hide something from me?" Murongli finally spoke, but her heart slowly became nervous, "What are you planning for the world or our future?"
Chen Rong turned her head and looked at Murongli's small face, her eyes were looking at herself intently and earnestly, her eyelashes were long, her nose was plump, and her lips were very pretty and moving.
She raised her hand and rubbed Murongli's head, then smiled: "I lied to you, but I never dared to be interested in the world. I want to give you... the most precious thing in the world ."
She took out the yellow scroll from her sleeve and handed it to Murong Li.
Murong Li's hand trembled slightly, opened the imperial edict, and was shocked and terrified when she saw the content above, "Are you crazy?"
By your side. You just have to take that seat and I'll do the rest."
Chen Rong stood up and took Murong Li's hand: "Watch the fireworks."
She turned her head to look outside the city wall, the fireworks that suddenly rose, burst into clusters in the sky, the boundless fireworks were dazzling and dazzling, Chen Rong held Murongli's hand and stood side by side On the star-gazing platform, watch the splendor of the sky bloom in front of you.
There is darkness behind, and there is indeed a fireworks in front of you.
I stepped into the Forbidden City with iron hoofs, and the soldiers and horses who had already fought to death were too powerless in front of the prosperous iron cavalry, the endless snow was dyed red, but everything was over at dawn , the last goose feather snow fell, covering everything up.
This year is a leap month. After two Decembers, this January comes very late, and it is colder than ever.
When the courtiers came to express their condolences, the national teacher Chen Rongli recited the eulogy on the stage, and at the end took out the imperial edict, announcing the last imperial edict left by the emperor.
"The crown prince and the three kings deliberately rebelled, and they must be severely punished... I think that the descendants are too incompetent, and the capable ones have the ambition of the wolf... The little girl Murong Li was named the emperor after my death. , inherit the throne. I hope the national teacher can assist him..."
Before Chen Rong finished reading, someone shouted.
"Absurd! Women in power like never before!"
"The treacherous minister is in power, and the country will not be the country!
"It must be fake, Chen Rong, you just lied to the master, what is the crime?"
…
Chen Rong's mouth evoked a mocking smile, calmly finished reading the imperial edict, and let An Zhongdao go down with the imperial edict, and the ministers looked over them one by one.
After that, she took out another imperial edict, which was written by Murong Li. It's just dealing with and weakening the enemy and strengthening the power of one's own people.
"The twenty-fifth of this month is a good day. After His Majesty is buried, it will be the ceremony of conferring the emperor. After Dongsheng Kingdom, there will be work for you all."
After Chen Rong finished speaking, he left accompanied by An Zhongdao, leaving behind the courtiers who looked at each other, and no one asked why Murong Li was married and appeared in the capital. They had already lost completely when they were in the wrong place.
The next thing to wait for is to be slowly squeezed out of the courtroom.
Murong Li caught a cold when she came down from the star-gazing platform. She was lying on the bed with a fever and was mumbling, talking nonsense. It was not until Chen Ronglai took her hand that she calmed down.
"Mother Jinxiu, how is Ali?" Chen Rong sat down beside the bed.
"The imperial doctor said that the wind blows and the cold enters the body, and after drinking the medicine, it will be fine." Sister Jinxiu did not dare to look directly into Chen Rong's eyes.
"Serve her well in the future, your master is only A Li." Chen Rong said in a flat tone.
Aunt Splendid knelt down and said yes.
Murong Li woke up suddenly, took Chen Rong's hand, with some tears in her eyes, said aggrievedly: "I dreamed that I wanted to seize the throne, but I lost."
Chen Rong patted her head: "It's just a dream, we won, no one can interfere in your destiny in the future, your life is up to you to decide."
Murong Li twitched her eyelashes: "I want you to be the queen."
Chen Rong: "Haha."
Murong Li got better after half a month of illness. Although everyone was not optimistic about her succession to the throne, the death of several princes, the death of illness and the disease, can only accept this fact. Fortunately, when Murong Li got to that position, she slowly settled down and became introverted, and she didn't have any faults to pick on.
—Although people often see her hugging the national teacher and acting like a spoiled child.
But the last person who reprimanded this kind of behavior has already gone to Northwest Muyang, and naturally no one dares to say more. On weekdays, Murongli made small actions to Chen Rong in the courtroom. As if ignorant.
Murong Li adopted the prince's son, named him the prince, and kept him in the prince's mansion outside. He announced that his fate in this life was too ups and downs, and he just wanted to be alone.
Ministers: We will not expose you for now.
After a few years, the country was governed very well, and Murongli did not spend money indiscriminately, and did not engage in beauty, and those strange noises gradually disappeared.
"Master Guoshi, my heart has been hurting badly recently." Murongli lay on the couch with a pile of memorials in front of her, rubbing her heart, "Can you show me?"
Chen Rong sat on the table to review the memorials for her, raised her eyes and glanced at her lazily, "You have to find an imperial doctor for this kind of thing."
"I think it's fine as long as you kiss me." Murongli moved inside, patted the vacant seat beside her, and looked at Chen Rong with burning eyes, "The national teacher is also tired. , how about taking a nap together?"
"You..." Chen Rong hesitated.
Murong Li pouted: "Come."
Chen Rong helplessly put down the brush in her hand, walked over, and just lay down, Murong Li got into her arms.
After the fact.
"I heard that you transferred the son of Zhongshu Shilang's family to dig the West River?" Chen Rong asked.
Murong Li pulled a strand of blue silk from Chen Rong, twirled it around her fingertips, and said innocently: "It's obviously to control the flood."
Chen Rong turned sideways, propped her head, looked at Murongli, and smiled: "You think you can fool me, eh?"
Murong Li met her eyes, feeling guilty for a while, but she liked it tightly, and hummed: "Isn't that why he wrote poems to say you are beautiful? I think he must be coveting you. Beauty, you should let him suffer."
Chen Rong shook his head, secretly saying that Murong Li was still a child.
But the ministers who were targeted by Murongli were shy, they shouldn't speak ill of Chen Rong, Murongli had a thousand ways to rectify them.
Let's go. How about leaving the capital and going to the mountains and waters?"
Chen Rong came to her side and hugged her from behind. The spring breeze was a good time, "Okay, you once said that you wanted to build a yard in Jiangnan, shall we go to Jiangnan?"
Murong Li nodded and kissed Chen Rong's cheek with a very gentle voice, "Just in time for the lotus bloom."
…
A month later, Murong Li and Chen Rong sailed south slowly. Incognito, and the Forbidden City finally changed its original little master.
It is easy to know the east wind, and it is always spring.
