The yellow sand rolled.
The golden light covered the magnificent mountains and rivers, and the waves of sand changed with the occasional gust of wind. The only thing that did not change was the yurts planted deep in the ground, one after another.
There was a red main tent between several yurts. It was the temporary residence of the Mongolian master.
As they were going to conquer Blackwater City, which had a dangerous terrain and abundant resources, the Mongolian leader personally took charge. The Mongolian soldiers saw that their master was personally commanding them, and their morale was greatly boosted. They won one victory after another. The attack had only been going on for two days, and the people in the city had already become prisoners. They were willing to surrender. As long as they killed the city lord and took his head, the forces in the city would be incorporated into Mongolia.
"Hahaha!" A hearty voice sounded as a tall and sturdy figure appeared, spreading in the air.
In the king's tent, a slender figure was looking at herself in the mirror. When she heard the man's voice, she hurriedly turned around. Her beautiful hibiscus face was even more beautiful because of the smile on her lips.
"Great King, what made you so happy?”
It turned out that the tall man who was laughing at the sky was the Mongolian King! Lord of Heaven.
He looked at his queen with infinite love and pulled her into his arms.
"Jing 'er, do you think this king should be happy to take down Black Water City?”He lowered his head and kissed the queen.
" They took down Blackwater City?!"
The queen was surprised and delighted. She was surprised that the king had taken down Blackwater City at an astonishing speed. She was happy that the king's greed for her was as before.
"Yes, I am!" Seeing the Queen's admiration, Lord Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel proud." When we defeat the Zhongxing Prefecture, Xixia will be ours.”
" The King has conquered another country…" The King's territory had expanded again, and the Queen was naturally happy. Her husband was so awe-inspiring, and the power bestowed upon him by the heavens was so powerful. What else could she ask for in this life?
Thinking of this, she snuggled into her husband's embrace and absorbed his incomparable strength.
"King, congratulations." Her joy only lingered in her heart for a moment. Soon, she seemed to have thought of something and her delicate face instantly darkened.
"Jing 'er, what's wrong?" Lord of Heaven Kui didn't miss any expression on her face and saw that she wasn't as happy as he thought.
"Your Majesty, you have conquered another imperial city. The tributes sent by the surrendered officials must be very rich.”
"Of course."
"They will definitely offer beautiful women! Would His Majesty still remember Jing 'er then?”She asked hesitantly, afraid that she would make the king unhappy.
"What nonsense are you saying! Even if they send over ten thousand beautiful women, this king will not even look at them. This king only has eyes for you.”Lord of Heaven Kui said half-coaxing and half-perfunctorily.
"King, is what you said true?”The queen raised her watery eyes to look at the king, wanting to see if what he said was true or false.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?”He grinned. Today was a good day, and he had taken down Black Water City, so he would not care about her suspicion.
"Your Majesty is right. Jing 'er is being paranoid. Please forgive me.”
"We're already husband and wife. Why are you talking about forgiveness?”After kissing her lips, Lord of Heaven said seriously,""This king has something to give you."
"Eh?" The queen looked at the king in confusion." Why did you give Jing 'er something?”
"Prove that this king loves you! I don't want you to keep suspecting me." Lord of Heaven Xiao teased her and took out a mirror from his sleeve to give to her.
" This is..." The queen took the mirror and felt that the bright golden light was not painted on, but real gold.
"This mirror was found by the soldiers in the city during the siege. Seeing that it was valuable, they did not dare to take it for themselves, so they sent it back to me. The first person this king thought of when he saw this mirror was you, Jing 'er. How was it? Does this king only have you in his heart?" Lord of Heaven Kui teased.
When the queen heard him say this, her suspicion just now seemed to be her own petty behavior. She pouted and said,"Your Majesty, Jing 'er knows her mistake. If you want to beat or scold her, Jing' er will do as you please.”
"Fight? Scold? This king can't bear to! However, this king will not forgive you. I will punish you to serve this king for the rest of your life.”
Lord of Heaven Kui looked at the queen's blushing face and laughed arrogantly.
"Your Majesty, Jing 'er is willing to serve you for the rest of her life.”The queen's graceful body was pressed against Lord of Heaven's chest, and her slender fingers undid his clothes slowly and sneaked in...
"Your Majesty, don't betray Jing 'er's sincerity!”Before the two of them became intoxicated, she reminded him.
"Yes."
Lord of Heaven clamor replied casually. At this moment, his mind was filled with romantic affairs with her. Who knew what would happen in the future?
"Who are you? How dare you come to the king's tent!”
The next morning, when Lord of Heaven Xiao woke up, he found a woman with purple spots on her face lying beside him.
"King?" Hearing the King's voice, the Queen immediately woke up and sat up quickly, not knowing that the King was talking about her.
"Don't come over, you ugly girl!" He stopped her.
"Ugly girl?" When she heard the king call her an ugly woman, the queen immediately touched her cheek with her delicate hand, only to find that her hand was covered in uneven bumps.
"Ah! How could this be? How did this happen?" She screamed and pretended to step forward.
Heavenly Lord Xiao kicked her away mercilessly.”
"King?" The mirror on the bed bounced down, reflecting her uneven face.
Was this…her?
Trembling, she picked up the mirror and looked at it again. Suddenly, because she could not bear this fact, she fainted.
Lord of Heaven Kui looked disgusted.
"Someone come! Drag this ugly woman out and send someone to clean it up again!”
"Get out, get out, don't come in!”The queen was making a scene in the tent.
She screamed crazily and refused to let anyone take her out of her warm tent. She was afraid that if she left, the king would really forget about her existence.
She didn't want it, she didn't want it!
The emperor of the Central Plains locked his unfavored concubines in the Cold Palace and gave them the cold shoulder for the rest of their lives. As for her? As the queen, who dared to lock her up? Who dared to ignore her?
Except for him! Lord of Heaven Kui!
"Queen, please don't make things difficult for us. We're just following orders!”The two soldiers who were sent to take her away shouted outside the tent.
The King had said that if he still heard that crazy woman's screams when he returned, he would kill them.
Of course, the queen could not hear these words. Otherwise, the queen would not have left.
How could the Queen not know the King's intentions?
As early as when he became increasingly distant from her, she slowly felt it. In addition, Mongolia's territory was expanding day by day, and countless tributes were sent in every year. Some places did not have the money to pay tribute, and the king also agreed to them offering beauties. Gradually, as there were more beauties in the harem, she was forgotten.
He said that even if they gave him tens of thousands of beautiful women, he wouldn't even look at them. He only had her in his eyes? Liar!
What did he say about not letting her down? Liar!
She had dedicated all her precious youth to him. What did she get in the end?
He was driven away!
Did he think that she was old and ugly, so he wanted to chase her away?
They had been husband and wife for ten years! Even though she had understood the principle of " which man isn't a playboy " when he married her, he had already married her and spent so much effort to coax her. Why did he have to be so ruthless?
She knew that she would not be able to survive no matter where she went!
She held the mirror that he had given her tightly in her hand. The terrifying appearance reflected in the mirror had not changed. A lock of yellow silk was a little dry, and there were many wrinkles at the end of her eyes.
In the end, she had lost to the merciless years!
However, she was still unwilling to throw away this mirror because it was a gift from the king.
She had carefully preserved the mirror, preserving her sincerity for the king.
All of a sudden, she raised her head and laughed wildly, as if she was laughing at something ridiculous. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but there was only one drop.
After a change in appearance, how could her husband's love not change?
Now, he had finally made the decision to let her go, hadn't he?
Putting away her bitter smile, she thought bitterly. She had already decided to do that, but she had always lacked the courage and had been waiting for him to change his mind.
However, it was obvious that she could not wait for him to change his mind, so she had to muster up her courage now.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her appearance had not recovered, her skin had lost its luster, and even more, there were deep wrinkles, indicating that she was an old and ugly woman. Compared to those concubines in the harem, she was the queen. After she became ugly, she was not worthy of being by the king's side!
She took a deep breath and stared blankly at the person in the mirror. A sorrowful smile appeared on her lips. Since you're so heartless to me, I can only die.
As she thought about it, she picked up the royal knife beside her and cut her wrist. Blood dripped onto the clear mirror, but she did not feel pain at all.
Holding the short knife close to his cheek, the purple spots that occupied most of his face and deepened day by day, even he was tired of looking at them, let alone the king?
Suddenly, she stabbed the knife into her cheek and dug deeply. She didn't want this purple spot to follow her. She didn't want it!
In the end, she even cut off her long white hair, feeling heartbroken.
" That way, you won't have to see me again…" After saying that, she pressed her cheek against the cold mirror, letting the wound drip with blood.
Soon, blood flowed all over the ground. She did not get up to look, but told herself that it would not hurt in a while. She would never feel pain again.
She smiled contentedly and fell asleep.
He would never wake up…
"Your Majesty, the Queen committed suicide.”
"Dead?" Lord of Heaven Kui raised his eyebrows. His face didn't change. He still had a beautiful concubine on his left and a concubine on his right. It was hard to tell that he had been in love with the queen for more than ten years.
"Yes."
"Pass down the order. The queen died of illness and the country will be in mourning for a month.”Lord of Heaven Kui ordered coldly.
"Yes." The guard responded and did not leave.
Heavenly Lord Xiao looked at him." What? Are you waiting for me to burn incense for her?"”
"Your, Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare, but this servant…doesn't know if I should say it.”
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" He urged impatiently. He hated people who stammered in front of him the most.
"Yes, sir!"
The guard had no choice but to tell him the rumors he had heard in Blackwater City recently!
There was a golden mirror in Black Water City. It was said that it was one of the twelve ancient mirrors made by Pangu when he created the world to suppress evil. However, this mirror somehow became a fierce mirror. It was said that women who owned this fierce mirror would have unfortunate things happen to them.
Coincidentally, the one who inherited the position of the Lord of Blackwater City this year was the eldest daughter of the old Lord. Within two days, Lord of Heaven Xiao attacked the city and took down the entire city within a few days. The head of the female Lord of Blackwater City was beheaded, so this rumor began to spread among the people again.
"You mean the golden mirror in the queen's hand?”Lord of Heaven Kui remembered how the queen had become old and ugly overnight.
"Your Majesty, although rumors are rumors, it is better to believe them than not!”the guard said.
Lord of Heaven Kui was silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, why don't we destroy that mirror? Otherwise, no one can predict what will happen…"
"Wait a minute, you said that the woman who got the mirror would be unlucky?”
"Yes."
"Since that's the case, it's not a problem for this king to have this mirror.”No wonder the Queen became like that for no reason. It was all his fault!
If he hadn't given her that ominous mirror, she wouldn't have become like that.
If she hadn't become ugly, why would he despise her?
If it wasn't for his disdain, she wouldn't be so sad and desperate that she had to commit suicide…
It was all because he was too superficial that such a tragedy would arise!
At the thought of this, endless regret struck him. He could only leave the fierce mirror behind to reminisce. This was the only way!
However, it was too late to regret. The regret had already been caused.
"Your Majesty…"
The guard wanted to persuade him again, but Lord of Heaven Xiao waved his hand to stop him.
"Put away the mirror, this king will go see the queen.”
"Yes."
Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty
"Little Miss, don't run anymore. If Master can't find you later, I'll be beaten again.”
An old woman in servant clothes was chasing after a little girl who was running in front of her, coaxing and deceiving her.
"Liar, daddy won't hit you! You're just putting on an act to scare me.”The little girl immediately retorted.
"Aiya! My little ancestor, how can you ruin Nanny's reputation!”The nanny knew that she couldn't fool the little girl, so she had to beg for mercy.
The little girl saw that the nanny could not do anything to her and ran forward again.
She saw a butterfly in front of her! She had to chase after him quickly.
"Little miss, sigh! Why are you running again?" Nanny didn't even have time to catch her breath and quickly chased after him.
It was late autumn, and the bone-chilling wind was so cold that one could catch a cold if they weren't careful. No, no, she had to chase after her quickly. Otherwise, if Little Miss caught a cold, she would not be able to bear the consequences.
In the hunting grounds of the royal family, a small figure was running and jumping in front of them, chasing after an old woman, shouting and running.
When the former emperor moved the capital to Beijing, he razed the top of Jingshan Mountain to the ground and turned it into a hunting ground and a travel hall.
Usually, only a portion of the royal guards were stationed here. Other than the hunting season, no one came here.
Every autumn, the royal family would hold a hunting competition for the princes and nobles to hunt, rest, and compete with each other.
Today was the eve of the Hunting Competition, and many nobles, kings, and officials had already moved into the hotel.
This old man and young woman were the womenfolk of Feng Qixuan's manor, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The little miss that the nanny called was Feng Zhuyun, who was the second in line. He had an elder brother called Feng Zhutian and a younger brother called Feng Zhuyu.
She could be considered an only daughter!
Therefore, ever since she was born, she had been doted on, which resulted in her mischievous and arrogant personality.
But even so, she would not make a big mistake and bring trouble to the Feng family. Therefore, everyone in the Feng residence treated her as a precious little master, but they couldn't do anything to her.
If she hadn't insisted on coming with Feng Qixuan, she wouldn't have been able to participate in this year's hunting season.
Until now, Nanny still couldn't figure out why Little Miss had to participate in this bloody and brutal autumn hunt. Wasn't it good to stay in the manor?
Nanny shook her head and didn't think too much about it. It would be bad if Little Miss ran far away and got lost!
On the other hand, Feng Zhuyun was chasing after the butterflies. As she chased, she unknowingly entered a valley. The valley was filled with butterflies and the fragrance of flowers. She was dumbfounded. Her eyes were shining with excitement and bright light because of surprise.
"So beautiful!" She had never seen such a beautiful place in her life.
"Who let you in?" An unhappy voice sounded behind her.
As soon as she turned around, she felt a sharp pain in her head. It turned out that the person who had made the sound had thrown a stone at her from the tree in front of her.
"Why did you hit me?"
Feng Zhuyun held his head, which was aching.
"Why did you come in?" The boy did not stand on ceremony. She dared to speak to him so loudly after entering his private world? How bold!
Ever since he was sensible, no one had dared to look him in the eye and talk to him like this.
This little girl was actually braver than those adults. How interesting!
With a change of heart, he decided to keep her to play. He believed that his father would not disagree.
"This place isn't yours. Why can't I come?”Feng Zhuyun didn't know who he was. Seeing that he was holding a small stone in his hand, she was so scared that she immediately covered her head and retreated.
"What are you afraid of? I won't hit you.”Looking at her, she didn't have much courage! His interest in teasing her immediately decreased by half.
"You smashed it just now." Feng Zhuyun reminded him.
"How dare you talk back to me!"
"Is this considered talking back? I'm telling the truth. You're a bad person!”Feng Zhuyun shouted at him and ran away.
Cowardly fellow!
He glanced at the direction she had escaped in, snorted, and closed his eyes.
Sigh, when will the boring autumn hunt end?
At dusk, it began to drizzle.
Feng Zhuyun was half-kneeling by the window, and Nanny was guarding her.
Suddenly, Feng Zhuyun jumped up.
"Nanny, it's raining!"
"If it's raining, so be it. Why is Little Miss making such a fuss?”
"He'll get wet."
"Him? Which him?" The nanny did not understand who she was talking about.
"It's him!" Feng Zhuyun jumped off the chair and ran out of the room.
Nanny hurried to the door." Little Miss, where are you going?”
"Give him a paper umbrella."
Him? Who was he? Nanny still didn't understand.
Suddenly, her body trembled. She suddenly remembered that this was not the Feng residence. How could the little miss barge in like this? If she accidentally offended the holy face, she would be beheaded!
She put aside the things at hand in a panic and immediately chased after him.
"Big brother, where are you?" Feng Zhuyun took a paper umbrella that he had found with great difficulty and ran out anxiously. He forgot to open the paper umbrella to block the rain.
"Big brother, where are you?" She called out aimlessly. Her hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her skin. Her eyes could not open because of the continuous rain. She shouted as she ran. As the sky gradually darkened, she had already run a long distance away from the inn.
"Big brother…"
Feng Zhuyun walked into the valley based on his memory. He walked around the forest in the valley for a long time, but he still didn't see anyone. Only her cries echoed in the forest.
"Big brother probably went back." She muttered to herself, thinking that the weather had changed in the afternoon. Perhaps he had already gone back.
Then she should go back too!
Before she could think about her motive for braving the rain to come to the valley to find him, she had already stepped on air and slipped a few feet into the ground, making her muddy and miserable.
"Aiya!" Other than the rain and sweat, her fair face was now covered in dirt. The graze on her knee when she fell into the pit made her grimace in pain. "Ouch…It hurts!"
"Serves you right!"
A familiar teasing voice came from near her. Feng Zhuyun stopped crying and looked up. The boy was standing on a high place with an exquisite paper umbrella in his hand. He looked clean and tidy as he looked at her.
"Pull me up." Feng Zhuyun shouted.
The boy shook his head and refused.
"You will dirty my clothes."
"Why are you so bad? I fell down to look for you!”
"You're playing for fun and you say it's for me? Humph!" He scoffed. Did he think he didn't see it? She was the one who had fallen into the trap they had set up to kill their prey.
"I'm not playing around. Look, I brought you a paper umbrella because I was afraid that you would get wet.”
"Are you that kind?"
There was obvious distrust in his eyes, and he shot her a cold gaze. He did not have the innocence and childishness that a child should have.
"You really are a bad person. After I go up, I will ask my father to arrest you!”Feng Zhuyun was very unconvinced. He had a feeling that his father was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, a very important official who could arrest anyone he wanted. She used this to intimidate him.
Who knew that he was not afraid at all and even laughed out loud.
"Catch me? Who dares to catch me?"
"You…just pull me up and you'll know if I'm telling the truth.”
"In the end, you just want me to pull you up first. You're really not ordinary cunning.”He could not help but look at her in a different light.
Father was right. When a person needed your help, he would be willing to do any lowly job, just like her.
"I'm not cunning. I really wanted to give you an umbrella. It fell because I couldn't find you! Why don't you believe me…Cough, cough…" After a series of coughs, there were a few more sneezes. She seemed to have caught a cold.
Seeing her pitiful look, his heart softened.
"Alright then! Give me your hand."
"Eh?" Feng Zhuyun was dumbfounded.
"Hurry up. Are you waiting for me to go back on my word?”
"No, no!" Feng Zhuyun quickly shook his head and held his hand.
He easily pulled her up and noticed that her body temperature was frighteningly high.
"You have a fever."
"Oh!" Feng Zhuyun nodded, his voice was nasal.
The running, jumping, and falling into the trap had drained her of all her energy. After the rain, she naturally caught a cold.
"Oh what? Hurry up and come up!" He said coldly. When he saw Feng Zhuyun looking at him in a daze, he immediately armed himself and glared at her." What are you looking at?"”
"Big brother, why are you so fierce? Actually, you're not a bad person!"
"Just now, you said that I was a bad person." He reminded her.
"Zhuyun is wrong. Big brother is not a bad person.”
"Your name is Zhuyun?" Only then did he realize that he had been talking to this unknown brat for a long time.
"Yes, it's Zhuyun who's chasing clouds!”
"Chasing after the clouds? You really dare to say that." He smiled.
"Big brother, what about you? What's your name?"
"You don't know me?"
In the entire imperial court, who didn't know him?
"Of course I don't know you! We just met for the first time today." she said matter-of-factly.
"Youtang, my name is Youtang."
She didn't know who he was, so she dared to speak to him so boldly! Since that was the case, he should hide his identity for the time being!
"Oh!" Feng Zhuyun nodded. Her petite body was slightly tilted as if she was about to fall asleep.
"Hey, come up quickly. I'll take you back.”He squatted down and let her climb onto his back.
"Alright." Feng Zhuyun climbed up obediently and found that his back was so warm and flat. It was much more comfortable than his father's.
Feng Zhuyun thought and thought in his heart, and his thoughts gradually blurred…
He carried her on his back and walked in the direction of the brothel. He did not realize that he seemed to treat her a little differently.#
