The next morning. Zhao Ming Hall.
After everything settled down last night, I returned to the Misty Pavilion. The middle palace is not something a small concubine like me can afford, and I don't want to.
The concubines in the harem came one after another. Concubine Hua was still in the line. She was not as beautiful as before and looked tired. His elder brother was involved in a rebellion, and Consort Hua was only neglected. However, Consort Hua had accumulated resentment for a long time, and he did not know how long she would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan was among them. She was dressed in gorgeous court clothes, her face was covered in thick powder, and her makeup was exquisite. Only the scars on her face could be vaguely seen. He smiled proudly, unlike his previous dejection.
When the concubines saw her, they were so angry that their teeth itched. Now, even the ghosts knew that Xuan Ling ignored Zhen Huan only to appease the Murong family and protect Zhen Huan.
He wondered if the Empress would be able to swallow her anger.
As for Mei Zhuang, her pretty face was tense as she glared at Zhen Huan with hatred and straightened her back stiffly.
The Empress sat gracefully on the Phoenix Throne. Now that Consort Hua was already at the end of her rope, the thorn in her heart could finally be pulled out. The smile on her face became even more gentle.
After bowing, the Empress looked at Zhen Huan with concern and said,"Wan Guipin, you've worked hard!" Now that the traitor has been eliminated, Wan Guipin's contribution cannot be ignored!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all kinds of gazes looked at Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly." Your Majesty, you're too polite. It's Guan Guan's honor to share the Emperor's worries!"”
The Empress's humble smile froze at this word. Consort Jing and Consort Duan were both astonished.
I took a sip of tea and hid the disdain in my eyes.
Concubine Hua said with disdain and resentment,"Wan Guipin is really muddleheaded!" How can you call yourself a small name in front of the Empress? Could it be that after going to the Liangless Palace, he had become stupid?”
Zhen Huan smiled charmingly and said," The Emperor likes to call me that. I can't change it in a short time. The Empress is kind and virtuous, so why would she blame me?"”
Concubine Hua looked lonely. She used to be the only one who was doted on. Ever since Zhen Huan appeared, not only did she take Xuan Ling away, but she even caused her family to be destroyed! Concubine Hua could not help but stare at Zhen Huan with even more hatred. The hand holding the teacup was so tight that it turned white. One could vaguely hear the sound of porcelain breaking.
The Empress smiled faintly,"Whoever the Emperor likes, this Queen will like as well." All the concubines should imitate Wan Guipin. Not only can they share the emperor's worries, but they can also solve the emperor's problems!”
The concubines, who were already extremely jealous, became even more jealous of Zhen Huan when they heard this. They thought that once Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua fell, they would have a place to stand! Now that their dreams had been destroyed, who knew how much they hated Zhen Huan!
Mei Zhuang looked at Zhen Huan with a faint smile and said tactfully,"Wan Gui Pin is the Zhuge of women. How can ordinary concubines compare?"”
Zhen Huan replied with a charming smile, looking at her eyebrows and proudly said," You're too polite, Handsome Fairness Hui. I'm just a small fry!"”
The fire of hatred in Consort Hua's heart was burning more and more vigorously. A small trick could topple her family! Good! That was great! Zhen Huan, you're really something!
The Empress looked at everyone's jealous and hateful gazes and smiled solemnly." Now that the harem has withered, there are many meritorious officials who have been vindicated this time.”Under the nervous gazes of the concubines, she paused and said gently,"If these families of meritorious officials have women of the right age to be selected into the palace as sisters, the harem will be enriched."”
Zhen Huan's face, which was already white from the powder puff, was now even paler. Although the Emperor doted on her, every time he was with her, he rarely had sex with her. Her delicate hands caressed her exquisitely dressed face. Was it because of her ugly scar that the Emperor despised her? No! The emperor definitely loves me, but if a new person enters the palace, will the emperor not love me anymore?
Zhen Huan had the same thoughts as the other concubines. She was sad and worried about her gains and losses.
The hatred in Hua Fei's heart did not diminish. The death of her clansmen was irreconcilable! She was even more afraid that the emperor would completely abandon her and suffer every day and night. She used to be the favored Consort Hua, but now she was the most precarious person in the entire harem.
Mei Zhuang raised her eyebrows and smiled,"The daughter of a meritorious minister must be a rare daughter of a noble family. ChenQie is very curious." For example, Wan Guipin was also the daughter of a meritorious minister! I wonder if the daughters of other aristocratic families can compare to Wan Guipin?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces turned pale, and they all looked jealous and resentful. One Zhen Huan was not enough. If there were more, they would not be able to live the rest of their lives.
The Empress smiled faintly,"Forget it. After talking for a long time, BenGong is also tired. BenGong's head wind often acts up." Now that there are many things in the harem, Consort Jing, Consort Duan, and Hui Jie Yu should be more tolerant!”
After some pleasantries, everyone left.
Misty Pavilion.
I lazily leaned on the soft couch and looked at the soup on the table in silence.
Baojuan smiled and said,"Little Master, last night was really thrilling!" Fortunately, he had the Empress 'protection!”
Qiao Hui frowned,"But I don't know what the Empress's intentions are!" The Empress first detained Hui Xue, and now she's showing mercy to the young master. This thought really made people feel cold!”
I lifted the bowl of medicine and gulped it down. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly,"Now is the time when the wind is blowing and the cranes are jittery. Take care of the Mist Intent Pavilion and don't worry about anything else."”
Xu Wanhai frowned and said worriedly,"Young Master, this medicine-"
"This is a tonic! Medicine to nourish the body! Do you understand?" I coldly interrupted Xu Wanhai's question.
Xu Wanhai sighed and said,"Little Master is right. This servant has spoken too much!"”He carefully looked up at me and continued,"Then, what should I do now?"”
I closed my eyes and said coldly,"”
The three of them looked at each other, but they did not dare to ask anything else.
A few days later, the six departments discussed the crimes of Runan Wang Xuanji. There were a total of ten crimes: They despised the ruler, carried the former emperor, formed cliques for personal gain, disrupted the government, blocked the way of speech, beat up ministers, filled their own pockets, had other thoughts, abused martial arts, and supported the army. Each of them was a capital crime.
Xuan Ling approved of his request, but the decree was: Considering that the king of Runan has made great contributions and has served for many years, his brothers and sisters can't bear to kill him, which makes the former emperor's soul cold, so I can't bear to kill him. He was demoted to a civilian for life, and the royal family was not allowed to visit him without an edict.
As for the Murong family, all adult men were beheaded, women under the age of fourteen were not allowed to enter the palace as slaves, and the rest were exiled to Ryukyu and could not return to the court for life.
After punishing the Runan King's faction, the rewards for the meritorious officials also came one after another. Zhen Yan's father Zhen Jin was appointed as the second-grade official minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and granted the title of Prince Taibao. Zhen Yan was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of War and the commander of the Yulin Army and the scholar of the Imperial Academy.
Tangli Palace.
Zhen Huan was dressed in a light blue palace dress with cherry blossom petals embroidered on the hem of the dress. There was a jade hairpin on her head, decorated with thin silver beads. Her face was covered in a thick layer of pollen, and there was an exquisite cherry blossom on her forehead. She looked at Xuan Ling with a shy expression and sweetly said,"Silang! Luckily, Silang was protecting Guan Guan this time, otherwise Guan Guan wouldn't know what to do!”
Xuan Ling leaned lazily on the soft couch and played chess by herself. She said in a gentle tone," How can I abandon you?”
Zhen Huan said sweetly,"Guan Guan knows that Si Lang loves Guan Guan!"”
A sharp glint flashed across Xuan Ling's eyes, so fast that it seemed as if it had never appeared. She picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it down, muttering to herself,"The person I love the most in my life is Guan Guan. Of course, I will protect her!"”
Zhen Huan was immersed in Xuan Ling's beautiful dream. She only noticed that Xuan Ling said that he would only love her for the rest of his life, but she did not know that this person was not talking about her. Zhen Huan elegantly stood up and walked towards Xuan Ling, hugging her from behind. She said sweetly," Guan Guan, I really want to be with Silang for the rest of my life!”
Xuan Ling's back stiffened. A lifetime.。
"Really? We agreed on a lifetime. A year, a month, a day, an hour, or even a minute is not a lifetime!”A voice suddenly came from the bottom of her heart, and Xuan Ling couldn't help but feel vexed. He patted Zhen Huan's hand and said lightly," I still have court affairs to deal with. You should rest first!"”
Zhen Huan was disappointed. She looked at Xuan Ling and said fawningly," Guan Guan, will you accompany Si Lang?”
Xuan Ling felt annoyed and was no longer in the mood to deal with this woman. She turned around and stepped through the gates of the Tangli Palace without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhen Huan felt as if Xuan Ling would never come back.
Yiyuan Hall.
Xuan Ling was seriously reviewing the memorial, but that sentence kept appearing in her mind, forever.
Li Chang respectfully bowed and reported,"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua requests an audience."”
Xuan Ling said impatiently," No."
Li Chang's face was bitter as he hesitated,"Concubine Hua has been kneeling outside the palace to see the Emperor, and now her forehead is broken!"”
Xuan Ling waved her hand impatiently and said,"Send her back to Mi Xiu Palace." If he was injured, he would bandage it. In any case, he would not be seen.”
Li Chang couldn't help but sigh. "I understand." After saying that, he turned around and bowed before leaving.
Xuan Ling had been thinking about the master who said this. She couldn't help but look at Li Chang and ask,"How is An Pin now?"”
Li Chang turned around and was surprised, but he said honestly,"According to Xia Yi, after the Empress took away a servant from Lan Yi Pavilion, Lady An Pin often went back and forth to Zhaoming Hall."”
Xuan Ling felt a wave of frustration in her heart, and she couldn't hear the main point no matter how hard she tried. She said angrily," I already know about this. Later on, I used the empress's intention to win over An Pin and asked the empress to protect An Pin. But I want to know how An Pin is now!”Not only was Li Chang surprised, but Xuan Ling was also surprised. Since when did An Pin affect his emotions?
Li Chang was frightened by Xuan Ling's words and said awkwardly," An Pin's health is still not good. She takes medicine every day."
Before Li Chang could finish, Xuan Ling stood up and slammed the table with her big hand. What were the imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine doing? Didn't they know that An Pin's body was weak? Had he never given his all?”
Li Chang knelt on the ground with a thud and said in fear," Emperor, please calm down. Emperor, please calm down. If you are angry and your body is damaged-"
Ever since Xuan Ling returned to the Forbidden City, she had long wanted to visit An Pin. Now that she heard that An Pin's health was still not good, she could not help but have a thought. She looked at Li Chang and said happily," Set up Lan Yi Pavilion!"”
Li Chang was confused by Xuan Ling's reaction and said in a daze," But Consort Hua is still kneeling outside the hall?”
Xuan Ling stopped in his tracks. Concubine Hua, there were too many things in the harem of the previous dynasty. She couldn't go see Ling Rong now. Otherwise, it would only implicate her.
Dejected, he turned around and walked towards the dragon throne. He said expressionlessly," I haven't finished dealing with my memorial yet, so I won't go. Let Xia Yi protect An Pin secretly. Don't let anything happen. Understand?!"”
Li Chang said respectfully," Your servant understands. Xia Yi has always done his duty to protect An Pin. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Ever since the Emperor had neglected An Pin for half a year last year, Xia Yi had been sent to secretly protect An Pin. It was as small as what An Pin usually cooked and ate. Xia Yi would even secretly take away the words he practiced every morning and present them to the Emperor. As for this rehabilitation, Xia Yi was ordered to protect An Pin regardless of life or death. He even took advantage of the Empress's desire to win An Pin over. His heart couldn't help but beat like a drum. In the past, the Emperor favored Hua Fei because of her aristocratic family, but today, the Emperor favored Wan Guipin probably because he wanted to protect An Pin? Sigh, who knew about the heart of an emperor?
Concubine Hua was busy with family matters, but she could not see Xuan Ling all day. She had been a favored concubine for a long time and had accumulated resentment for a long time. All the concubines began to impeach Concubine Hua in front of the Empress. Even Qiao Xuanshi, whom she had personally promoted, had moved out of Mixiu Palace early to avoid suspicion.
In this life, there was no such thing as Cao Jie Yu, but it still could not shake the determination of everyone, even the Empress, to move to Consort Hua. After all, Consort Hua was still Consort Hua.
On this afternoon, when Concubine Hua was still kneeling in front of the palace and begging Xuan Ling to forgive her clansmen, Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang jointly accused Concubine Hua of poisoning the Imperial Concubine with cassavas powder and framing Zhen Huan. He also exposed the secret dealings between Concubine Hua and the people of Runan King, the drowning of Concubine Chun who happened to bump into her, the fall into the water at the eyebrow, the false pregnancy, the infection of the epidemic, and so on.
Thus, the Empress ordered the Punishment Division to interrogate Consort Hua's Consul, Zhou Ninghai, as well as her aunt, Songzhi.
Although Zhou Ning Hai was loyal, he couldn't bear the heavy punishment and confessed everything that Consort Hua had done since she entered the palace. Songzhi was a loyal servant, and she bit her tongue to commit suicide.
It is said that Xuan Ling has issued an edict: Concubine Hua Murong, who has been in the palace for a long time, has lost her virtue. She will abolish her title and demote her to a seventh-grade servant. She will move out of Mixiu Palace and live in Yongxiang.
That bowl of medicine made me seriously ill. I have been recuperating in the Misty Pavilion for the past few days without leaving my house. The Empress did not suspect anything.
Although Zhen Huan was shrewd and intelligent, Concubine Hua had fought against the Empress for nearly ten years and knew her very well. Moreover, the family had spies all over the harem, and she herself was the assistant to the six palaces in handling all matters, so how could Consort Hua's power in the harem be underestimated?
For example, at the beginning, some of the low-class concubines could not help but accuse Hua Fei of committing evil deeds, but on the second day, an inexplicable accident occurred. Once or twice was still acceptable, but every time it happened, everyone understood that she was still Consort Hua, even if she no longer had the power of the family.
Mei Zhuang and Zhen Huan teamed up only to complement the lack of evidence in their hands and the credibility. However, how could the two of them, who had only entered the palace for less than two years, gather all the evidence? The evidence was probably sent to them by the Empress in secret, right? Perhaps Consort Duan and Consort Jing had also interfered.
It was night. Misty Pavilion.
"Searching and searching, cold and desolate, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to rest. How could three or two cups of light wine compare with his late night wind? When the wild goose passed by, it was sad that it was an old acquaintance.”Every word and sentence deeply touched my heart.
I, An Lingrong, am not a favored concubine, but I don't want to be someone else's chess piece. It was a game of life and death between me and the Empress. If I made the right move, I might be able to live a glorious and peaceful life. If I made the wrong move, my eyes suddenly turned cold. There were many ways for a concubine to leave the world obediently in the Inner Palace.
He put down his pen and looked at Xu Wanhai coldly.”
Xu Wanhai bowed and replied,"The Emperor is resting in the Tangli Palace tonight."”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"Oh?" Is that so?" I looked at the bright moon outside the window. She was so white as if she was the purest in the world, but how much blood and tears were hidden under this bright moonlight?
I slowly walked in front of Xu Wanhai and sized up this old man. Everyone gets old. If there was no one to rely on, how miserable would his old age be? I'll get old too...
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Xu Wanhai coldly." Eunuch Xu, go prepare a set of eunuch palace clothes that are similar to mine."”
Xu Wanhai frowned and said in disbelief," Young Master, this is?”
I didn't change my expression and said," I'm going to see Concubine Hua, oh no, Murong Xuanshi!"”
Xu Wanhai said anxiously,"Young Master, you can't!" "Now Murong…" Xu Wanhai sighed as he looked at me more and more."I'll go prepare it now."”
I was wearing a eunuch's palace uniform and followed Xu Wanhai all the way to Yong Lane.
In the pitch-black night, the Eternal Alley seemed to be a road of no return, never to see the light. Occasionally, there would be the sorrowful cries of crows, making people feel despair.
I pushed open this dilapidated red door and walked into the inner room without looking sideways. She, who had once enjoyed the best woman in the world, was crying silently in front of the bronze mirror.
I glanced around. Even someone like me who was once neglected lived in a much better place than her. Spiderwebs were casually hung in every corner of the room, and there was a musty smell that made people nauseous. The furniture was a little damaged, and the bed and bedding seemed to have been left behind by the previous person. One could faintly see that the blood on the bedding had already turned black. She wondered if she, who had once been pampered, would have thought that she would have such a day.
I looked up at her silently.
Concubine Hua saw my figure in the bronze mirror and slowly turned around. She looked at me up and down with contempt and said disdainfully,"Who did I think it was?" So it was just a cat that was not favored by the Empress! He even dressed up like a eunuch. As expected, it's not presentable!"
Although she was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, the hairpins had all fallen off, and the makeup on her face was blurry. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
Hua Fei saw that I didn't speak and couldn't help but be annoyed. Are you here to laugh at bengong?"
I looked at her calmly and said coldly,"The person I admire the most in this harem is you! If I were a man, if I were your husband, I would definitely cherish you, love you, and not let you suffer the slightest grievance.”
Concubine Hua was stunned and her expression was filled with grief. She seemed to be thinking of the past and her heart ached. She glared at me and said coldly,"What do you want to say?" Could it be that you came to see bengong in the middle of the night just to tell bengong this?”
I calmly walked towards her and casually sat on a stool. I gently said," You are Concubine Hua. Even if you die, you will still be Concubine Hua! I have no right to say anything to you."
Consort Hua was stunned. If it wasn't for her heart being like stagnant water in such a dirty place, she wouldn't be able to endure such treatment. I didn't even think about it and sat down. Her face was blank." Then what are you doing here? What else do you want from me now?”He stared at me with a sharp gaze that made my heart palpitate.
I moved the stool and moved closer to her. I took out a clean handkerchief from my pocket and wiped her face seriously. I said lightly," You're very beautiful. How can you cry with such charming eyes? I can't even bear to part with it as a woman."
Consort Hua angrily slapped my hand away, looking disgusted and angry." What do you want? Stop disgusting bengong! Bengong doesn't need a small consort position like yours to give out anything!”
I looked at her calmly and said,"I have a secret to tell you. It's a secret about you." But you have to promise me that you won't seek death no matter what. You have to live well!”
Hua Fei's heart suddenly panicked and pretended not to care. Why does bengong have to die? Of course Bengong wants to live well! Let those sluts know that even if Bengong is down and out, Bengong is still Consort Hua!”After saying that, he looked like he was going to eat someone up.
"As long as you promise me that you won't seek death and will live well, I can tell you anything.”I said calmly.
Consort Hua nodded impatiently,"BenGong agrees with you. What do you want to say, say it quickly. BenGong doesn't have the patience to listen!"”
"You are an unborn child. The emperor ordered the empress to personally concoct the abortion medicine to get rid of you.”I said calmly.
Hua Fei stood up and grabbed my shoulders, angry and incredulous." What did you say? What are you talking about? How was this possible? You lied to bengong! Speak! Did the Empress send you here? What does she want?”
I patted her back comfortingly, not caring that she was hurting my shoulder. If I, An Lingrong, lied to you, then your Concubine Hua will die, and I will die. And turn into ashes!" I swore to the heavens with my left hand.
Concubine Hua grabbed my clothes and shouted,"How is this possible?" How could the emperor treat bengong like that? That bowl of medicine was clearly sent to bengong by Consort Duan! Bengong doesn't believe it!"
I looked at her indifferently and said coldly," The Concubine Hua in my heart is someone who dares to love and hate. She will be hurt but she will not deceive herself.”
Concubine Hua dazedly let go of the hands that were grabbing my lapel, and said in disbelief with tears in her eyes,"Bengong doesn't believe it unless you can prove it to Bengong!" Otherwise, bengong won't believe it!"
"Although Consort Duan has a family background, the Emperor has lost a boy. How could he let Consort Duan off so easily and even make her a consort? It's just the compensation the Emperor and Empress gave her. Who asked her to be infertile and weak for so many years because of you drinking a bowl of crocus? If the emperor dotes on you, why not investigate?”As her face grew increasingly grey, I paused for a moment before continuing," You have been infertile for many years because the Huanyi Fragrance the Emperor gave you contained a large amount of muskiness. Wan Guipin's miscarriage was also because of the Huanyi Fragrance. Who asked you to be Murong Shilan? The emperor is afraid of your family. Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is to surpass their master with high achievements! Therefore, your family will definitely fall! And your child can't be born into this world!”
Concubine Hua suddenly raised her head and laughed like a demon. She laughed crazily, until she was hoarse and desperate. She laughed until tears flowed down without realizing it. In the end, she could not help but sit on the ground and cry! His heart ached as he wailed,"Your Majesty, you've caused Shilan so much suffering!" Shilan is in so much pain that she wants to die!" It was a pity that the person she loved the most had caused her to lose everything and her family to be destroyed. His heart was probably bleeding!
A long time passed.
She didn't cry or laugh like an exquisite doll. She said in a hoarse voice," Why are you telling me this? Aren't you one of the Empress 'people?"
I helped her sit on the chair and sat beside her. I wiped her tears seriously and said,"I hope you won't enter the imperial family in the next life!" With a husband who dotes on you, a family who loves you, and a safe and happy old age. But I won't allow you to die in this life. You promised me that you wouldn't die, right? Also, I'm not the Empress's person. She's not worthy.”
Concubine Hua looked at me blankly and said uncertainly,"Why did you tell BenGong this, and why didn't you want BenGong to die?" Then how do you know all this?”
I looked at her calmly and said gently,"You don't have to be afraid. I won't hurt you." As for why I know, it's hard to explain.”
Hua Fei looked at me with a smile that was not a smile and said strangely,"You are so attentive to BenGong, what is your intention?"”
I sighed and said,"I just want to keep you alive."”I looked at her calmly and sincerely said,"Please demote yourself to the Cold Palace tomorrow." Then, arrange for a palace maid who is similar to you to die in your place. After carefully arranging everything, he would quietly leave the Imperial Palace.”
Hua Fei laughed and looked at me mockingly. Cold Palace, using death as an apology? Leave the palace? Where did bengong's power come from? Even if bengong can leave the palace, where can she go?”
I looked at her and said lightly,"The Empress is as clever as a tongue, and the Emperor is worried that you will give birth to a baby boy and your family will hold the Emperor to order the princes!" I don't want you to fight for anything. Was it interesting? You won't get pregnant in the future, and the emperor won't favor you anymore. I know that although you're down and out, you still have connections. Think of a way to leave. Isn't it good to live a good life outside the palace? Do you know that the sky outside the Forbidden City is very beautiful? The flowers are red and the willows are green, and the people are very kind. Live happily for the rest of your life and forget everything!”
Consort Hua looked at me blankly, tears streaming down her face as she hatefully said,"Empress!" This vicious woman!"
I patted her shoulder and comforted her,"It's not worth it to live for hatred and pain!" You've already fought for half your life. Do you still want to fight for the rest of your life? Wasn't it better to forget everything and live well? I know you're in pain. You've suffered a lot. However, for the sake of the imperial power and for the sake of benefits, hadn't they shed enough blood? You're the only descendant of the direct line of descent in the family! Think about your parents, your brother, they must want their beloved daughter and sister. Live well!"
Consort Hua hugged me and cried. I patted her back to comfort her and said gently," Leave the Forbidden City. Leave this hell surrounded by four red walls and live a good life outside the palace! Live happily! You promised me that you wouldn't die, didn't you?”
After a long time, Hua Fei wiped her tears and looked straight at me sharply,"Why did you tell BenGong this?" If you don't say it, bengong's heart might ache a little faster!”
I said lightly," Don't deceive yourself. Those people in the harem won't let you off! Even Zhen Huan and the Empress know about Huan Yixiang. I'm telling you because I hope you'll live, but they're telling you because they hope you'll die! Shilan!"
When Concubine Hua heard me call her Shi Lan, she was stunned. Then, she shouted crazily," Who are you to call my name? Are you worthy? What do you know about my grievances? This is a blood feud!"
I looked at Hua Fei and said word by word,"Shi Lan, I will avenge you!" When I get my revenge, you will meet me outside the palace. We will live outside the palace together, okay?”
Hua Fei looked at me in disbelief and shouted,"You're crazy!" You are the emperor and a concubine, yet you still think about life outside the palace? You want to take revenge for me? What right do you have? You're just the daughter of a county magistrate!”
I looked at her coldly and said," Murong Shilan, don't disappoint me! You must live well. Do you want to pay with your life for a man like Xuan Ling? Do you want the Murong Clan to be extinct? I don't have much ability, but I'll do my best! And you have to live. You've suffered enough in this life? Shilan, let yourself go!" In the end, he could not help but plead.
Concubine Hua said blankly,"Can I still be happy?" My family is dead, and the emperor lied to me! The concubines want my life! I can still live happily for the rest of my life?”
I said seriously,"You will definitely be happy!" You could imagine yourself having a small house facing the sea, with flowers blooming in the warm spring, and farming every day. I watch the years and flowers fall! Or, you can go to the desert, to many, many places, to those unknown and beautiful places. Shilan, you are the bravest and most beautiful woman in the world! You will definitely be happy! You have no choice but to be trapped in the imperial family for your entire life. You have brought glory to your family. You loved, you hated, you were ruthless, you were in pain, you wanted to die, and you were happy! The Murong Shi Lan in the Forbidden City is already dead. You are the new Shi Lan, the Shi Lan who lives only for herself!”
Shilan looked at me blankly, unsure." Can I really? But I haven't avenged my blood feud yet! I hate the emperor, I hate the empress! They ruined my life!"
I picked up a brand new pair of scissors in front of the bronze mirror. Hehe, this was probably to make her commit suicide, right? I lifted her long hair and cut off a strand of hair. Under Shi Lan's shocked gaze, she said word by word," This strand of hair represents the former Concubine Hua, Murong Shi Lan! Now you are the reborn Shilan! The Shilan who lived for no one! Life was just like clouds passing through a gap, the past was just a cloud of smoke. A man's death was like a lamp going out. If you choose to take revenge, you might get what you want in the end, but you'll have to spend the most precious life of your life! Was it still interesting? At that time, you will realize that I have taken revenge, but in the end, I will be alone! There was no meaning in living for a lifetime! Shilan!"
Silence, silence, silence.
After a long time, Shi Lan smiled and said," Yes, there's already enough blood. Why should I? Although I hate him, even if I take revenge, I'll only be able to feel at ease in the end. But at that time, I was so lonely and helpless! 'I've been a joke my entire life. Do I still have to be a joke until I die?'”
I said lightly,"Shilan, you have to know that some people don't know you hate them." Those who were worth hating would never be hated because they loved you!”
Shi Lan looked at me and smiled gently." You've spent so much effort for me. Do you have any requests?”
I looked at her sincerely and said," I hope you can give me the rest of your forces. I can't leave the Forbidden City, but you can. You can arrange for someone to die in your place and make arrangements carefully. For example, to die in a sea of fire? You still have a chance to live! Do you want to die of old age in the palace? That's not worth it!"
Shi Lan looked at me with a faint smile and said coldly," I don't know how to evaluate you, but it's also because of you that I don't want to die. I can give you my power, but what do you plan to do after I leave?”
"Take your time! Sunflowers represent hope. After you leave, you can plant some sunflowers to accompany you.”I said calmly.
Shilan looked at me with a complicated expression. After a long time, she said faintly," Alright, I'll do as you wish."”
I looked at her and said seriously," You must live, live well. If I can leave the palace one day, I will definitely look for you!”
Shi Lan smiled faintly." If you can come, I'll definitely welcome you!”
I, An Lingrong, am not like you. You were able to escape from the palace because you still have power, and it is reasonable for you to commit suicide. Even if I end up committing suicide one day, do you think I'll find someone to die in my place? This was the palace, and the people here were not fools. They might believe such a scheme once, but what about a second time?
On November 25, the 15th year of Qianyuan, after the first Concubine Hua was demoted to the seventh grade, she presented her feelings and asked to remove all grades and live in Jinleng Palace. After reading it, the emperor was moved and allowed it.
On November 28th, the 15th year of Qianyuan, Murong Shilan committed suicide and was buried in a sea of fire.
After his death, his posthumous title was: Shun did not have any posthumous title or funeral, and was hastily buried in the chaotic post of the buried palace maid.
