The gilded Qifeng Tower is located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City. When you climb it, you can see thousands of miles of clouds and clouds. At night, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperous lights of the four cities of Shangyang.
Everyone in Shangyang knew that this was the place where the emperor built the residence for the Queen of Clouds to watch her mother. Although the Yun family has now been sentenced to beheaded, and Yun Qingci has also been put into the cold palace, the most promising concubine Ning Gui can only watch from below with gnashing teeth.
The cold night was as cold as a blade, and the guards of the Forbidden City carried wind-proof lanterns and patrolled in the snow. Suddenly someone exclaimed: "There is someone upstairs!"
On the corner of the building fence, a man in white was hunting and standing against the wind.
"Presumptuous!" The sound of the armor colliding sounded, and the leader of the guard led people forward: "Who is so bold, dare to climb the building behind the king..."
"!"
In the icy world, this man wore a sapphire hairpin on his head, a pair of shoes that didn't fit his feet, and a thin shirt that didn't keep out the cold. superior.
Red plum-like blood splattered all around.
"This is… "
The unfinished words were all stuck in the throat.
No one dared to touch the people on the ground.
Not just because he is the owner of this building, the queen of the emperor.
It's more because his image of being domineering and dehumanizing in the past is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that he would end himself like this, and everyone felt incredible, even creepy.
Some people think that Yun Qingci was heartbroken by the emperor, so he chose to jump out of the gilded Qifeng Tower. After all, although he made outsiders terrified and his relatives hated him, he was so determined to the emperor that he had nothing to say.
More people believe that Yun Qingci was paranoid and arrogant, and he often mutilated himself when he was alive in order to gain the attention of the emperor. This suicide is just defending his place in the emperor's mind in an extreme way.
He doesn't care if the Son of Heaven wants to destroy his entire clan, and throws him into the cold palace, his heart is broken like madness.
He seems to have never been so quiet, hysterical, arrogant and jealous, acting like the wind, and there is always a lingering hostility between his eyebrows, no one dares to look directly at his sharp, cold, arrogant and mocking eyebrows... so much that people ignore it. He was actually very well born.
With black hair and red lips, his skin is as white as ice, and he looks like a city of ink and wash. Thick and bright blood spread from under him, quickly engulfing the snow, dyeing his shirt and skin red, like a large piece of cinnabar splashed on an ink scroll.
When he closed his eyes and his face was peaceful, the world seemed to lose its color along with the blood loss lips.
The guard leader's throat twitched and he didn't dare to look at it.
Soon, the palace was not allowed to talk about Queen Yun anymore. The emperor, who had always been kind-hearted and virtuous, started killing all the palace servants with broken mouths.
This is the fifteenth year of Xuanjing, and it is also the twelfth year of Yun Qingci's marriage with the Son of Heaven.
The gilded Qifeng Tower, which makes countless concubines envy and jealous, still stands here brightly, but it is completely blocked in the sight of everyone and becomes a forbidden place.
And everything about Yun Qingci, even his name, has become a taboo in the palace, and no one dares to discuss it.
-
The snow was rustling against the window lattice.
Yinxi and Jin Huan were sitting by the charcoal fire in the house, quietly observing the people leaning on the couch by the window and listening to the snow.
The other party's black hair was loose, his expression was lazy, white gauze was wrapped around his forehead and wrist, and his thin white and slender fingers tapped on the armrest rhythmically, looking relaxed and comfortable.
It's Empress Yun, but it doesn't seem to be Empress Yun.
It's him, because no one can replicate his appearance, not him, because he shouldn't be so calm at the moment.
Yesterday early in the morning, before the Queen was fully awake, she was thrown off the bed by the suddenly angry His Majesty, her forehead was smashed, and a lot of blood was shed.
Then, in a fit of rage, His Majesty ordered someone to drive him back to his mother's house. The Queen rushed to beg like crazy, but to no avail, so she cut her wrist in an attempt to win His Majesty's sympathy. Although the imperial physician arrived in time, he still lost blood Too much and passed out.
And His Majesty... not only did he not give him a look, but he was sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion when he was in a coma. Moreover, he was not equipped with the proper chariot to return to the door, and he was not notified in advance, resulting in the failure of the Prime Minister's Mansion People greeted and waited for a long time.
Although the imperial decree has not yet come down, what His Majesty has done is no different from the post-abolition.
Everyone knew he was going to be mad when he woke up.
Sure enough, the Queen opened her eyes while waiting in the air. The first thing she did was to go back to the Forbidden City to find His Majesty. He ran to the Forbidden City on foot like crazy. persuade him.
Fortunately, before taking a few steps, he met Yun Xiang heading back to his house, and he was humiliated, so he was knocked unconscious and brought back.
Everyone in the Yun family knew very well that when Yun Jun woke up again, there would be a lot of trouble, so he ordered people to guard the window and door of the house in advance to prevent him from sneaking out again.
But today, he got up early in the morning. Not only did he not make a fuss, but he obediently asked Yinxi to give him medicine, ate his breakfast seriously, and then stayed in the house honestly, without going anywhere, look. Going up is very precious to your body.
Both Yinxi and Jin Huan were a little stunned. They didn't know if he was making up his mind again, or if he had really thought about it.
Forbidden City, Jiangshan Temple.
The emperor's supervisor Liu Ziru looked at the decree slowly burning in the brazier, and had almost the same doubts as the Queen's valet.
This is the decree of abolition.
This time, the emperor was really annoyed by Yun Qingci. Not only did he drag him off the bed and smashed his forehead before the other party woke up, but he also drafted an imperial decree to abolish the queen immediately after returning to the Jiangshan Temple.
The Yun family has power over the government and the opposition, although Yun Qingci has a bad relationship with his family, but his honor and disgrace is related to the face of the Yun family.
The empress dowager was worried that the emperor would anger the Yun family because of his anger, and tried to persuade him to stop it from issuing it immediately, but the edict was not destroyed, but kept on the table.
Before going to bed yesterday, maybe he finally figured it out. He drafted another letter of reconciliation. This is a gentler way than the post-abolition, probably the last compromise he was going to make to Yun Qingci.
However, early this morning, when Liu Ziru packed up and came to serve, he saw the always gentle and generous young emperor with disheveled hair and sharp eyes like an eagle, hiding his madness and ruthlessness: "Where's the hairpin I put under the pillow? "
At that time, Liu Ziru wondered if he was getting old and his brain was not working well, why he had no impression of the emperor putting a hairpin under his pillow.
He saluted tentatively: "I dare to ask Your Majesty... what kind of hairpin is it?"
Li Ying's eyes filled with rich blackness, he stood up, and a strong sense of oppression came from his tall figure, exuding a ghostly aura like a real substance. The people around him had never seen him look so terrifying. Immediately, someone's legs were paralyzed, and Liu Ziru knelt down involuntarily, sweat dripping from his forehead.
His neckline was grabbed by the emperor, facing the handsome but gloomy face, Liu Ziru only felt that his life was at risk.
He held his breath, trying to control the shaking musculature of his face. He used to think that even though Li Ying had a big chest, he was an emperor, and he acted in a measured manner. At least in front of others, he was still a decent king.
But at this moment, Li Ying was like a demon who had torn off human skin and became unscrupulous. He didn't seem to care about anything, and he didn't care about anything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Liu Ziru clearly felt that Li Ying wanted to kill him.
The one who rescued him was the little eunuch who was in charge of the notification, "Report to Your Majesty, just now the guards came to report, and the Queen Mother sent someone to visit the Queen."
Li Ying didn't like the empress dowager interfering in his resignation with Yun Qing, so it was particularly noticeable. I don't know if it was Liu Ziru's illusion, the emperor seemed to be in a trance, "Visit...?"
Liu Ziru hurriedly said: "It must be that the queen mother learned about the incident that the queen made yesterday, so she specially sent someone to appease the Yun family... I heard that when the queen returned to the mansion, she was injured again."
Li Ying's chin suddenly tightened heavily, his eyelashes trembled, mist covered his eyes for a moment, and his voice became hoarse for a moment: "Queen, my queen..."
still alive.
He didn't go on, so Liu Ziru didn't know.
He was glad that he had saved his life, and when he saw the emperor striding over to the desk, he stretched out his hand and drew a memorial, his eyes focused on the date: "Xuanjing, seven years..."
Yun Qingci is still alive and loves him madly.
He laughed lowly, tears streaming down his face.
Terrified a group of people around.
Then, as it is now, he ordered someone to pull up his long hair and threw the prepared imperial edict into the brazier.
Another thing was thrown in, it was Heli Book.
The man put on human skin again, and said gently: "Prepare to drive, it's simpler, I'm going to the Xiangfu."
Then he looked at Liu Ziru again: "I just had a nightmare, I lost my temper, and scared Mr.
Liu Ziru immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this minister didn't see anything."
Li Ying bent his lips kindly, rubbed his fingers on the corners of his clothes, and became suave and decent again.
It seems that he is still the kind-hearted, virtuous and talented young emperor.
Yun Qingci yawned on the soft couch and heard Jin Huan come to report: "The queen mother sent someone to visit you, they are in the front hall."
"Ok."
Yun Qingci's tone was light, and he was not agitated at all.
Jin Huan looked confused. The Queen Mother has always tried her best to match the Queen and His Majesty. She would often come to comfort the Queen because of the discord between the two. It stands to reason that since the Queen Mother has the heart to intervene in this matter, the Queen will do her best to seize this opportunity. It is.
He subconsciously said: "Queen, do you want to see him?"
As soon as the voice fell, a laughing voice came from outside: "Empress Jun, the queen mother sent servants to see you."
Yun Qing tugged the corners of his mouth gently, slowly got up from the couch, moved to the chair for the guests, and said, "Since Eunuch Zhou is here, let's come in."
Zhou Zhao stepped in, his eyes fell on the wounds on his body, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, looked around earnestly, and sighed: "Hey, if the queen mother sees your injury, I'm afraid I will have to do it again. It hurts."
Yun Qingci smiled slightly.
If it wasn't for Zhou Zhao strangling Yinxi himself in front of him later, Yun Qingci would never have dreamed that the man who always treated him as his own, and always praised him for chasing Li Ying, and once How terrifying is the woman who made him marry Li Ying.
From the very beginning, Li Ying approached him just because he wanted to use him to get close to the Xiangfu, and Yun Qingci fell in love with Li Ying through her guidance. When he was just ten years old, he simply liked to be with Li Ying. When they were together, it was the woman who broke it with one hand and asked him if he wanted to be with Li Ying forever, and if he wanted to marry Li Ying.
As for Yun Qingci, step by step, he became farther and farther from his relatives and became more and more close to his enemies.
"Empress Dowager Lao is concerned." He said gently: "Father-in-law is here today, but what advice do you have?"
Zhou Zhao was a little surprised by his calmness, but considering Yun Qingci's attitude towards the queen mother, he was quickly relieved. He signaled Yun Qingci to let the attendant step down, and said, "Your Majesty does not allow the Queen Mother to intervene in this matter. The servants don't have much time, so I will make a long story short."
Yun Qingci nodded.
"According to the meaning of the queen mother, if the queen wants to repair the relationship with your majesty at this moment, there is only one way, that is... the queen may have to suffer."
Yun Qingci listened attentively.
Zhou Zhao was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Yun Qingci at this time should have said as always: "As long as I can keep Ying's heart, I am willing to do anything".
Without waiting for the expected response, Zhou Zhao could only continue: "You also know that the Queen Mother has helped you a lot over the years, and Her Majesty hates her deeply, so this time... I'm afraid only Yun Xiang can save you. ."
"You know my relationship with him."
"That's because you don't want to kiss him, but he wants to be nice to you."
Yun Qing's speech was calm, but his fingers tightened silently. He grew up with his mother in the suburbs because of his parents' discord since he was a child. He returned to the prime minister's mansion when he was seven years old. In that year, his father took him with the emperor and was accidentally assassinated. Pointing to Yun Qingci and the late emperor, Yun Xiang gave Yun Qingci a heavy look and flew towards the late emperor.
The sharp sword penetrated Yun Qingci's chest.
The father-son relationship, which had been too late to cultivate, was exacerbated.
Later, the mother and father broke up completely, and Yun Qingci never called him father again.
Yun Qingci picked up the tea and sipped lightly, his long eyelashes suppressed all the emotions in his eyes: "You mean, let me go beg him?"
"Father and son are connected, as long as the queen is ruthless and tossed with herself, Yun Xiang will definitely soften her heart."
When he said this, his face was not red or his heart was beating, and he had no guilt for inciting others to hurt himself.
