Eastern Palace Chapter 35: Yuanshui(4)
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the East Palace!
When I first deposed the queen, I knew that if Li Chengyin wanted to depose me, the princess, it was a very complicated process. You need to have your Majesty send an edict to the Ministry of Education, and then the Ministry of Education agrees to attach the signature. Those white-bearded veterans were not easy to talk. The last time the queen was abolished, some people screamed and slammed to death on the steps outside Chengtian Gate. Someone really hit him later, but he didn't die. His Majesty was very angry, but the queen was still abandoned.
Actually, what I think is that maybe the guards here are a little lazy, and A'du and I will escape more easily.
When Yueniang came to see me, I was planting flowers in the yard.
My two hands are full of mud. Yueniang smiled first, and then she looked worried: "Your Majesty sent me to see you, how did you do this?"
Only then did I know that the recent favorite consort of your majesty in the palace, who was called "Niang Zi", turned out to be Yue Niang.
I looked at Yueniang's appearance. She was wearing a palace-like new dress, a thin shirt, and a yellow cloud on the temples. She was very gorgeous and moving. I smiled faintly, and said: "Fortunately, Li Chengyin doesn't want me, or I will call your mother concubine, that would be too bad."
Yueniang frowned: "You can still laugh?" She also looked at me, frowned and said, "Look at you, do you still want to plant flowers?"
Yueniang told me something outside that I didn't know.
It turned out that Zhao Liangdi’s family was quite powerful in the DPRK, but now they are trying their best to confirm my crime and put me to death. His Majesty was very embarrassed. He once called Li Chengyin privately. Because he rejected everyone, he didn't know what he said, but later his Majesty was furious, and Li Chengyin also rushed away. Now that even the father and son of the Heavenly Family have fallen out, Yueniang's plea from the side is also helpless.
Yueniang said: "I know that those charges are all false, but now the situation is pressing, I begged your majesty to let me come and see you, what can you say, or who do you want to see?"
I find it inexplicable: "I don't want to see anyone."
Yueniang knew that I didn't understand, so she explained it patiently. It turned out that she meant to let me meet Li Chengyin and say something soft to him. As long as Li Chengyin suppresses it, even if Zhao Liangdi is noisy there, he can still think of making this matter small and small. After all, Xu Baolin has no background, and the witchcraft incident can be big or small. .
Yueniang said: "I heard people say that Gong Libao also had witchcraft in his adulthood, but it involved the most favored concubine at the time. The Emperor Zhongzong killed the court lady with a stick. There was no follow-up. What can you do with gossip?"
To make me bow my head to Li Chengyin, it's harder than killing me.
I said coldly: "I haven't done those things. Since they have wronged me, they want to kill me casually, but let me beg him for mercy, absolutely can't."
Yue Niang persuaded me for a long time, but I just refused. Finally, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, but I took her to see the flowers I planted.
I planted a lot of rose flowers in the Lenggong. The person in charge of the Lenggong was kind to me and Adu. If I want flower seedlings, they will buy flower seedlings for me. If I want flower fertilizer, they will send flower fertilizer for me. This kind of rose flower is only available in the Central Plains. When they were in Mingyufang, Yueniang and the others always loved a hairpin on their heads. I said to Yueniang: "When these flowers bloom, I will give you some to wear."
Yueniang frowned and said, "You don't worry about yourself at all?"
I took a water scoop and watered the rose flowers: "Look at these flowers, they are well-grown in the soil, but they are dug up by the roots and sold here, but they still have to live and bloom. Beautiful flowers. They never worry about themselves, they are alive, why should they worry about these things, what will happen to them, what is unreasonable to worry about."
Besides, what's the use of worrying? Li Chengyin won't believe me anyway. I wish I never remembered those things in the past. Fortunately, only I remembered it, but he didn't. Anyway, I have been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, I want to finish everything, and then leave here, I don't want to see Li Chengyin again.
Yueniang was dumbfounded by what I said, but she had no choice but to return to the palace.
I don't think there is anything bad about the days of Lenggong, except that the food is a little worse, but the victory is quiet.
I used to love lively.
One day when I was in the middle of the night, Adu suddenly shook me up. I rubbed my eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Adu looked very urgent, she pulled me under the east window and pointed to the wall.
I saw the thick smoke billowing and the flames, and I was shocked. Why did it suddenly catch fire?
The fire came extremely fast, and after a while, it blazed ablaze. Adu kicked open the west window. We climbed out of the window, and she dragged me to the back wall. We haven't stood firmly on the wall, when a gust of strong wind rushed to our face, A'du pushed me, and I fell to the wall. I saw that A'du swung his sword and cut something off. With a sound of a "ding", it turned out to be a steel arrow. A'du leaned forward and rushed down to catch me. He shot the second steel arrow from nowhere. The third steel arrow...Adu cut down several of them, but the arrows were as dense as locusts, and shot the glazed tiles on the wall to pieces. I watched as an arrow shot into her shoulder with a "poof", blood was splashed, I yelled "Adu", but she did not take into account her injuries, and struggling to fly and rush down to catch Hold my hand. The wind whizzed past my ears, and I remembered that we also encountered an arrow formation when we climbed over the wall. Adu failed to catch me, but Pei Zhao caught me. But now there will be no pictures of Pei, I know, and Adu knows too.
In the dense rain of arrows, Adu finally took my arm, her golden knife made a long string of golden sparks on the wall, and the hard blue bricks rustled down with powder, but we Still falling quickly, her right shoulder was injured and she couldn't use her strength, and the knife couldn't penetrate the wall, and the arrows were shot more densely. I yelled anxiously, "Adu, you Let go! Let go!"
If she doesn't let go, we will fall to death together. With such a high wall and a blue brick floor underneath, we have to fall into sludge.
Adu’s blood dripped on my face. I tried hard to get away from her hand. She suddenly tried her best to push me up, and I was thrown into the air by her, as if the clouds were flying in the mist, my hand Instinctively scratching and waving, unexpectedly grabbed the glazed tiles on the wall. I climbed up the wall with my hands and feet, and watched A'du being shot by several arrows again. She was really powerless to swing away. Fortunately, she finally pierced the wall with a knife. The fall was blocked, but her hand was weak. Finally, he let go of his hand and fell heavily to the ground.
I burst into tears. In such a dark night, feathers and arrows shot on the glazed tiles next to me. Those feather arrows pierced through the tiles, and the "banging" aroused fragments splashed on my face, causing pain and pain. I was crying by the name of A'du, and arrows fell from all sides like a torrent of rain, which overwhelmed me. Shrouded in it. I have never felt so helpless and lonely.
Someone stood in front of me. He just waved his sleeves, and the arrows scattered all around. There was still a chance he missed his head and fell slantingly. With vague tears, I saw his white robe, as bright and eye-catching as the moonlight.
Gu Jian.
He waved away those chaotic arrows, pulled me straight to the glazed tiles on the top of the temple, and I yelled anxiously: "And Adu! Save Adu!"
After Gu Jian pushed me to the tail of the owl, he turned and rushed down the wall. I saw his robe sleeves blow up by the wind in the night, sliding down the wall like a big white bird. Suddenly there was a shooting star-like fire arrow that cut through the lonely night. Numerous shooting stars seemed to be a rainstorm. The rockets were shooting at Gu Jian in a dense number. I heard countless feather arrows hitting the wall, "pop" Like countless moths hitting a lamp covered in sheepskin in the summer, clusters of sparks lit up in mid-air, and then quickly extinguished. Gu Jian was extremely fast, and he had already picked up Adu. But those arrows with fire were shot more densely, and the air was full of scorching smell. Those arrows with a sharp howling sound, fluttering tails shot at Gu Jian from all directions. I poked my head out from behind the tail and saw layers of black armor. Step by step, those heavy iron armors rattled loudly and surrounded layer by layer. I didn't know how many ambushes there were. Million people.
Gu Jian held Adu in one hand, and cut down those chaotic arrows with the sword in the other. A thick layer of residual arrows piled up under his feet, still burning, and the flames reflected on his white robe, very misty. His body is like a ghost, coming back and forth. Those arrows fell in front of him one after another, but the arrows were like locusts on all sides, and it was difficult for him to break out of the arrow formation. His white robe was splattered with blood, I don't know if it was his blood or the blood on Adu's body. Although Adu was hugged by him, his arm dropped and he didn't move. If this continues, he and A'du will definitely be shot to death by random arrows. I was very anxious, and I didn't know who were ambushing here. Suddenly, I thought these people were wearing heavy armor and shooting arrows in the Eastern Palace. Such a big movement would definitely not be an assassin. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but stand up suddenly, but someone behind me gently pressed my vest and said, "Go down."
I looked back and saw that it turned out to be Pei Zhao. On the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall behind him, there are densely packed Habayashi Lang wearing light armor. They lay silently there, the bow and arrow in their hands were half-opened and aimed at the encircling circle underneath. These people were condescending, even if Gu Jian could rush out of the encirclement, they would surely release their arrows together and force him back into the arrow formation .
I was very anxious and said to Pei Zhao: "Hurry up and tell them to stop!"
Pei Zhao whispered: "Prince Concubine, His Royal Highness has ordered the annihilation of the assassin, please forgive me that I will not be able to follow my life."
I grabbed his arm: "He is not an assassin, and the person he is holding is Adu, and Adu is not an assassin. Hurry up and tell them to stop!"
Pei Zhao's face was very embarrassed, but little by little, he pulled his arm out of my fingers. I was so angry that I cursed: "Even if Gu Jian had assassinated the emperor, he didn't hurt his majesty's hair. Besides, if you want to catch Gu Jian, go and arrest him. A'du is innocent. Quickly make them stop."
Pei Zhao said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness has an order. Once the assassin appears, he must be annihilated immediately under the arrow, and he will never be able to escape. Please forgive the prince, and he will not be able to die."
I was furious and said, "What if it were me? If Gu Jian grabbed me, would you shoot me and him to death with random arrows?"
Pei Zhao raised his eyes and looked at me. His eyes were dim, and the flames of Liu Zhi in the distance reflected in his eyes, like small sparks that ignited, but it was fleeting. I said: "Hurry up and order them to stop, or I will jump down and die with them!"
Suddenly, Pei Zhao stretched out his hand and said, "The final will be impolite!" I just felt a tingling on the acupuncture points, and I sat down with a soft foot, his limbs stiffened and couldn't move anymore. He even clicked my acupuncture point, making me unable to move. I yelled at him, Pei Zhao ignored it, and turned around and shouted: "Get up!"
The three thousand light armours on the top of the temple stood up suddenly, half-kneeling, leading the hard bow in his hands to perfection, and the arrows pointed at the two people in the circle of fire below.
I was so anxious that tears were streaming out, and I screamed: "Peizhao! If you dare to release an arrow today, I will definitely kill you!"
Pei Zhao ignored me and turned around and shouted: "Let it go!"
I heard the chaotic sound of breaking through the air, and countless arrows flew past my head and fell straight to the people in the circle of fire. Gu Jian rose into the air, trying to forcefully break out, but was forced to retreat by the dense arrow rain. My teary eyes were dim, watching the overwhelming arrows impenetrable, Gu Jian's white robe suddenly waved and placed A'du on the ground. He must have wanted to rush out alone. The arrows became denser and denser. In the end, the rain of arrows connected end to end, without even showing the half-minute gap, completely concealing Gu Jian and Adu. I was furious and cursed constantly, Pei Zhao seemed to turn a deaf ear. Later I cried. I had never cried so miserably. Dimly, I even begged him to stop shooting arrows, but Pei Zhao was just indifferent.
I don’t know how long it took, Pei Zhao finally stopped, my tears were blurred, I only saw the chaotic arrows piled up into a hill, and I couldn’t even see the half human form. The heavy armored Habayashi Lang in the first row took a heavy step back, revealing the Habayashi Lang in the second row. Those people held the long Ge, and the long Ge was explored under the Jianshan, and then they worked together to almost the entire Jianshan. Turn it over.
I saw Gu Jian's white robe, soaked in blood, almost dyed into a red robe.
I opened my mouth wide, but I couldn't cry. Large tears slid down my cheeks and slid into my mouth, bitter and astringent. Adu, my Adu.
Adu, who has been with me for the past three years, has not even reported the country’s hatred and family feud, so Adu who has accompanied me for thousands of miles, has been protecting me with his life... , Saw her being shot to death by random arrows.
I don't know when Pei Zhao put me down from the temple, he unlocked my acupuncture points, and I grabbed his sword and pointed at him. He looked at me and said quietly: "The princess, if you want to kill, kill it. Your fate is hard to violate, and you will have to follow it."
I stumbled to the outside of the encircled circle, and those people blocked the middle and did not let me pass. I looked at Pei Zhao, and he waved his hand, and those Habayashi Lang gave way to a gap.
Adu’s face was covered with blood, I burst into tears, tears fell on her face, her body was still warm, I reached out and fumbled on her body, just want to know where she hurt, and Can it be cured? Miraculously, she didn't get an arrow, but there were several arrows in her leg. When I cried and called her name, her eyes moved.
I was surprised and happy, calling her name again and again in a cry. She finally opened her eyes, but she could not speak. In the end, I just tried my best and pointed to Gu Jian on the side. I don't know what she meant, but her eyes looked at Gu Jian, clutching my clothes tightly.
"You want me to come and see him?" I finally guessed what she meant, and she nodded slightly.
I don't know what A'du meant, but she is dying now, what she wants me to do, I will definitely do it.
I walked to Gu Jian, his eyes were half open, and he was not dead yet.
I was very surprised. His eyes flickered slightly and he clearly recognized me. There were hundreds of arrows on his back, densely packed like a hedgehog, without an inch of intact skin. My heart is very sad, he has saved me time and time again. It was he who saved me in Tiangen Mountain, and it was he who saved me in the chaos of Shi Cai. I squatted down and called his name.
I didn't know that Li Chengyin set up a trap and ambush here, and it was me who caused him.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and I leaned in a little bit, Pei Zhao came up to stop me: "Manny, be careful of the assassin's violence and hurt people." I angrily said: "He is already like this, can he still get up Hurt?"
I got close to Gu Jian's lips, and he actually murmured: "Adu...how..."
I never expected that he remembered Adu, and I said, "She's okay, but she was injured."
The corners of his mouth moved, and it turned out to be a smile.
His injuries were all on his back, but Adu's arrow injuries were all on his leg, and there were no significant arrow injuries. I suddenly guessed it somehow: "You hide her under yourself?"
He didn't answer me, he just looked at me and looked at me foolishly.
Suddenly I felt a move in my heart. He saved Adu. Originally, he walked freely. Obviously he had put Adu down. As long as he left Adu, he might be able to break out, but he refused. Saved Adu with his own life. Why did he save Adu? I almost knowingly asked: "Why do you want to save Adu..."
"She... If she is..." His voice was soft, as if it would be blown away by the night wind at any time, and I had to get closer. Just listen to him murmur: "You will... will be sad..."
I was so embarrassed, but he still seemed to be smiling: "I can... but can't... make you sad again..."
I said: "Why are you so stupid, and I don't like you... Why are you so stupid..."
He looked at me straight: "It's me... I'm sorry you..."
