Time is like a rubber band with excellent elasticity. When you are in this period, you feel that the rubber band is stretched infinitely, time flows slowly, and when you look back after this time, the rubber band is suddenly released Open it, snap it back, and feel that time flies very fast.
In this strange metaphor, ten years have passed.
Chu Yi was eighteen this year, the age when he was full of energy and showed his ambitions. Two years ago, Shen Fengyue personally helped him choose a royal palace queen, a young couple who had a good family and personality. When they first got married, they were a little shy with each other.
He has grown up and is not as attached to him as he was when he was a child. On the one hand, Shen Fengyue is proud of his growth, and on the other hand, she is also a little lonely watching the child and her old mother drifting away from her. At this time, Shenpi Tang would suddenly jump out and try his best to tease him, instantly diverting his attention.
Speaking of Shen An Bang, he had already cut off contact with the Yan Kingdom in the past ten years, and Shen An Bang also carefully assisted and taught Chu Xi the emperor's mind and the way of the emperor. I heard that last month Chu Xi had already imprisoned the world's military power. firmly in hand.
When Shen An Bang got the news, he immediately came to tell him. At that time, he smiled and told him that His Majesty had grown up and was very different from when he was a child. He is also slowly handing over power and manpower to His Majesty. He said some time ago, he resigned from office, the Empress Dowager feigned death, and retreated to the mountains together, and it would be nice to be a free husband and wife.
Shen Fengyue was very moved by his suggestion. Now that it has been decided that he will grow old with Shen An Bang and endure him to complete the task, wouldn't this kind of free life be better? The court's brocade clothes and jade food, splendor and wealth, he has long been tired and tired.
So the two hit it off and prepare in secret.
Unexpectedly, a big change happened.
It was a rainy night, and the rain was a little heavy. When Shen Fengyue went to close the window, she heard the sound of rain hitting the window lattice. He closed the window and was about to sleep when he heard a commotion outside.
"Who are you?!"
"This is Shoukang Palace, how dare you trespass!"
"The Empress Dowager is going to rest, what are you doing?!"
There was Hongmei Luoxue's scolding from outside, and the content sounded like an uninvited guest broke into the Shoukang Palace.
"Hongmei, what's the matter?" He put on his coat and asked loudly outside.
There was a rustling sound from the friction of the armor from far to near. They walked neatly and turned into one, listening to the movement, and many people came.
They walked to the door and violently broke it open. Shen Fengyue saw ten soldiers in black armor with knives breaking in. Then came Hongmei Luoxue, who rushed over from behind. They stood between Shen Fengyue and the black armors, protecting Shen Fengyue with an absolute attitude.
Shen Fengyue narrowed her eyes and asked sharply, "This is the Shoukang Palace, the residence of the Empress Dowager Da Chu. How can you and other men dance with knives and swords, how dare you break into the Shoukang Palace?" This simple question was overwhelming. , Shen Fengyue has been the empress dowager for more than ten years, and she has long known how to show the royal power.
Those few people were swayed by his momentum, and their attitudes were immediately humble. It seems that the people in command of them stood up, bowed to Shen Fengyue and said: "The Empress Dowager forgives my sins, I am waiting for your majesty's order to invite you to the study."
In the middle of the night, Chu Yi asked him to go to the study, which must not be a good thing.
The right eyelid suddenly twitched, Shen Fengyue raised her hand to hold it down, and asked, "What if Aijia doesn't want to?"
The commander glanced at him quickly, and drew out the sword halfway around his waist: "I also ask the empress dowager not to make me wait for it. If the queen insists on doing this, I will only be offended."
There are too many enemies and few others, and a pair of ten can't be good. Besides, these ten people seem to be very good in martial arts. I am afraid that the upper body of the system will be difficult to solve at one time.
Thinking of this, Shen Fengyue nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he asked to be neatly dressed. He was the queen mother, and those people did not dare to violate this requirement. So the neatly packed Shen Fengyue followed those black armors and left, Hongmei Luoxue wanted to keep up, but was stopped by the two black armors, saying that His Majesty only wanted the Empress Dowager, and the rest could not wait.
It was still raining heavily outside, and someone held up a butter paper umbrella for him to protect him from the rain. But the rain was a bit heavy, and the long skirt corners had been wetted by the splashing rain during the action.
Shen Fengyue glanced at the sky, the sky was dark, and there was no light in sight, the only light was a flash of purple lightning. It cuts through the dark night with a gesture of breaking through thousands of miles. It is a short-lived, short-lived flower. After the light, it returns to darkness.
Then there was the deafening sound of thunder, and one thunder caused successive thunders, and the thunder burst into one piece and exploded in the ear.
An ominous foreboding...
Shen Fengyue followed them to the study.
The distance between the Shoukang Palace and the study room was actually not long, but Shen Fengyue was so dignified by the inexplicable situation, as if his heart was being pulled up, he unconsciously quickened his pace, letting the muddy water wet his shoes and socks, dirty skirt.
Finally, the study arrived.
A sufficient number of candles were lit in the upper study, and it looked bright from the outside. Shen Fengyue pushed aside those people first, ran out from under the umbrella, and rushed into the room in the rain.
Someone was already waiting for him in the room, and the first person that caught his eye was Shen An Bang, who was kneeling on the ground while being pressed by two people.
As soon as Shen An Bang saw him, his eyes lit up: "The Empress Dowager."
Seeing this situation, Shen Fengyue was taken aback, and before she could respond to him, she raised her eyes to look at the seat.
Chu Yi was wearing a solemn and prudent court dress with gold patterns on a black background and twelve crowns on his head. The long jade string hangs down, making it difficult to see his expression. From beginning to end, he sat upright on the dragon chair, motionless.
"What are you doing? Quickly let him go to Aijia." Shen Fengyue ordered the two.
There were not many people in the room, and the atmosphere was quiet, so his voice was especially loud, and there was no inaudible situation, but the two of them remained motionless.
These two were afraid that they only obeyed the emperor, so Shen Fengyue turned her eyes to Chu Yi: "Emperor?"
"Let him go." The emperor gave an order, and the two people followed the order to release Shen An Bang.
After Shen An Bang was released, he didn't dare to get up and still knelt on the ground.
Shen Fengyue stood beside him and asked, "What does the emperor mean?"
The person on the dragon chair listened, and finally moved. His head moved slightly, and the beads on his head shook slightly, making a crisp sound when they collided.
He chuckled lightly at first, as if being amused.
"I have carefully observed it. Since the mother entered the room, the first person I saw was Lord Shen." He put his hands on his thighs, and patted his right hand involuntarily slowly and regularly, and then said, "Look at it. The one who gets the most is also Lord Shen."
"I want to know, Queen Mother and Lord Shen..." He paused and leaned forward.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Fengyue subconsciously retorted: "Aijia has nothing to do with Lord Shen. One is the Empress Dowager and the other is Lord Marquis. How did the emperor involve me and the two together. Besides..." Before he finished speaking, he Truncated by Chu analysis.
"I'm afraid my mother forgot that I am the emperor and the ruler of the world. What can I hide from me? You are fooling me as a three-year-old child, but I don't agree."
When Shen Fengyue was about to say something, Shen An Bang secretly pulled the corner of her clothes behind her, and she stopped.
The emperor has been observing them, and this scene is naturally a panoramic view.
"Your Majesty, please Rong Chen. The relationship between the minister and the Empress Dowager is pure and innocent. It's just that when the late emperor was there, he became more acquainted with the Empress." He lowered his eyes and replied neither arrogantly nor arrogantly.
Chu Yi let out a chuckle, very mocking. He took out an object from his sleeve, a white stone with red silk threads on it.
"This thing has been here for ten years, and it's time to return it to its original owner."
The stone was thrown from the seat and just hit Shen An Bang in front of it. It rolled on the ground a few times, and the side with the engraving just happened to be facing up when it stopped.
This object is familiar and tight, it is the old moon stone that Shen Fengyue lost ten years ago.
Shen An Bang didn't dare to pick it up, still maintaining the original action.
"Why didn't you pick it up and take a look, this stone is a pair with yours." Chu Yi first looked at him, then turned to Shen Fengyue, "Your stone is engraved with ' Yan', the empress dowager's piece is engraved with 'Shen', you have spent a lot of thought."
"Shen Yan, but do you want to have two surnames?" he asked, suddenly picking up an inkstone on the table and throwing it in the direction of Shen An Bang.
Shen An Bang was aware of it, but he didn't try to hide, he just stuck there blankly. Shen Fengyue's reaction was extremely fast, when the inkstone came over, he subconsciously bent his arms to block Shen An Bang.
The inkstone slammed firmly on his arm, leaving a distinct ink mark on his clothes, and then bounced to the ground with force.
Blocking the inkstone with bare hands, the impact force is not small, and the forearm hurts after blocking.
His behavior really irritated Chu Yi, he stood up abruptly from his seat, and slammed his hands on the desk: "Mother, are you worthy of the late emperor?!"
When it came to Emperor Chu, Shen Fengyue couldn't find anything to say for a while.
His silence was taken as the default by Chu Yi: "You are the empress dowager of the Great Chu, and your status is precious, but you have done such a shameful thing to your ancestors. As a son, I am also very sad. The face of the Tian family cannot be tarnished. On the ground, it is impossible to form a circle without rules, and there is only one way to deal with it at this time."
Shen Fengyue raised her head abruptly, looking at his open and closed mouth, a past incident suddenly appeared in her mind.
He was still the imperial concubine at that time, and Chu Yiyi came to school one day and showed him his own articles.
In the memory, the voices of their questions and answers echoed in my ears.
He asked Chu Analysis: "If there is a secret relationship, can you offer mercy outside the law? Fa, is it tolerant?"
"According to my son, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. If everyone follows the feelings, how can the law be implemented? Where is the authority of the law?"
The child answered in a tender voice.
It turned out that everything was already doomed, and there were clues from the beginning...
Tong Yin was replaced by the voice of a young man who grew up. He said, "Between the Queen Mother and the Marquis, only one can be preserved, with the majesty of the whole family. And this choice is handed over to the Marquis Shen."
Chu Yi was confident in the choice he gave them. If the choice was on Shen An Bang, he would definitely choose to save the queen mother.
Sure enough, the next moment, the man raised his head and said to him: "Thank you for your grace, I would like to protect the Queen Mother."
The emperor was able to make such a move, presumably his troops had already been wiped out.
"What are you doing, Shen An Bang?!" Hearing this, Shen Fengyue immediately threw herself on him.
"What are you still doing, why don't you help the Empress Dowager away!"
Chu Yi ordered, and immediately someone came forward to separate Shen Fengyue from Shen An Bang. Shen Fengyue resisted with all her might, but was firmly held down by several people and dragged to the side indiscriminately. In the chaos, Shen An Bang picked up the moon stone on the ground and the one hanging from her waist, and stuffed them into the In Shen Fengyue's arms.
Shen Fengyue was pressed to the edge of the wall.
"You let go of Ai's family! Ai's family is the queen mother, is it possible that Ai's family will not listen to her words?!"
Chu Xi stepped down from his seat, and a man from the palace came in from outside the palace, holding a horizontal board in his hand, on which were displayed white silk and poisonous wine, Chu Xi made a gesture of invitation, signaling Shen An Bang to choose.
He chose poisonous wine because he thought it would be better to die and would not scare the queen mother.
After taking the poisoned wine, he suddenly turned around and faced Shen Fengyue who was still struggling not far away.
Shen Fengyue struggled so hard, her hair on the temples was already disheveled, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, looking very embarrassed.
"The Queen Mother, don't struggle anymore, it's both laborious and useless. I feel bad for you."
When Shen Fengyue heard him say this, she really stopped struggling and stared at him blankly. Tears had already flowed out and wet the front of her clothes, but he didn't realize it.
"May your mother be blessed and safe. From now on, you will have endless joy and happiness. For this reason, it is a pity for this minister to die." Shen An Bang said.
He said the exact same words as when he presented the gift back then. At that time, he said it with a smile and a congratulatory speech, full of blessings to him. Now he also said it with a smile, the corners of his lips twitched, his eyebrows curved, and his smile couldn't be more beautiful, but Shen Fengyue felt a piercing coldness, and a great sadness welled up in his heart, which lasted for a long time.
Chu Xi was not interested in watching them continue to reluctantly give up, and ordered people to be taken away, he followed, and wanted to see with his own eyes.
Both the emperor and the empress dowager had special personnel holding umbrellas, but Shen An Bang was drenched in the rain. In the rain, he only left a back view of Shen Fengyue.
Chu Xi ordered someone to take him to an abandoned palace. The guards guarded him and entered the house. The moment he entered the house, he suddenly rushed to Chu Xi: "I still have one wish, and I also ask Your Majesty to lock the door, I am afraid of the Queen Mother. The lady is sad to see it."
Chu analysis is accurate.
So he turned around and was about to close the door. At this time, Shen Fengyue's strength came from not knowing where he actually broke free from the person who restrained him, and rushed towards the room.
"Shen An Bang!-" he shouted, rushing straight towards the place, the rain poured down on him immediately, he ran too fast, fell, and watched the door close in front of his eyes.
"Do not!!!!-"
A door was closed, and only the last side of the lover was seen, and then it was blocked by the closed door.
The palace servant was about to go forward and lock the door, so he immediately got up from the ground and stopped the man.
"Don't, don't, don't lock, don't lock, please, please, he's still inside, how can he be locked?! He's still inside, please..." He kept saying no , begging, begging others not to lock the door.
"Change me, let me die, let him live, let him live! He did nothing wrong, I seduced him, I seduced him, all the mistakes are my fault, let me Is it okay to die in his place?"
"The Empress Dowager, please don't embarrass the servants."
With a click, the door locked.
Shen Fengyue wailed in pain, tears streaming down her face, and while crying, she knocked on the door frantically, the door vibrated, and the lock on it slammed against the door and made a banging sound.
"Shen An Bang, don't drink it, don't drink it. You can't die. I have a way, Aijia has a way, and Aijia has a lot of methods." He slammed on the door frantically, crying He fell down like he was dying, "I called the system to help us, as long as you don't drink, as long as you don't die, it will definitely protect us."
"Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang..." He kept calling his name, as if he had caught the last straw, "System, you Will help me, won't you, will you?"
The system was about to speak, but heard a prompt tone:
[Ding Dong, the bug has been cleared.]
"Begging..." The unfinished words got stuck for a moment, and the action of slamming the door stopped, Shen Fengyue opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and let the tears flow.
bug, cleared
Mission, completed
What about Shen An.Bang and Shen An.Bang? He started banging on the brown door frantically again: "Shen An Bang, come out, you squeak, so that you can teach me that you are alive! You talk, you are not dead, right?!"
The system couldn't bear him like this and said, "Old Shen, everything is over..."
"Shen An Bang... He is already dead." It said the second half of the sentence with difficulty.
Shen Fengyue didn't believe all this, and was still patting the door in vain, calling out Shen An Bang's name.
He was just one door away from him, the brown door blocking everything.
"Husband, husband, husband... My husband..." Shen Fengyue only called Shen An Bang twice, once when they were married and worshipped, and the last time when Shen An Bang died.
In vain, memories like walking and watching flowers appeared in his mind, and hurriedly slipped away. Some of them called the Empress Dowager with a smile, some when he turned through the window and entered the house, some when he blinked his eyes, and his mind was full. They all look like Shen An Bang.
Shen An.Bang, Shen An.Bang, all Shen An.Bang...
And he said simple and direct love words over and over again:
"Empress Dowager, I am pleased with you."
He said that there is no life and separation, only death and farewell, never thought that it was a prophecy.
Shen Fengyue was shedding tears and grief-stricken, but at this moment, an arrow shot from behind and penetrated his heart.
He lowered his head and glanced at the arrow that pierced through his heart. The arrow was stained with bright red blood. He didn't have time to turn around to see who it was. He only put his last strength in front of him. Lovers lean together.
This door is really tight, no matter how you knock it, it won't open...
His consciousness was chaotic, his eyes closed, and he died of breathlessness.
Death cannot separate us.
[Ding Dong, the task is completed, the auxiliary program is completed, and I am leaving this world.]
Chu Yi shook his hands and lowered his bow, tears pouring down like rain. This bow is vermilion red, and it is wrapped with gold wire to form a pattern.
"Empress mother, I'm sorry." He muttered, throwing the bow on the ground, "move the queen mother away and open the door."
According to the words, the palace servant hugged the Empress Dowager's body away, and two white stones fell out of his arms, leaving no one to take care of it.
With a click, the door lock is opened. The moment the door was opened, a corpse fell head-on, thinking that the man had been sitting on the door.
"You all know how to do it." After seeing that Shen An Bang was indeed dead, he ordered, "You all know how to do it."
All those who know the truth cannot live. This is a secret from the heavenly family, so after he gave the order, these people bit through the poison bag one after another, entering the highly poisonous entrance, and died of anger within three seconds.
Chu Yi turned and left, and the palace servants fell one by one behind him.
The face of the royal family cannot be trampled on, and the law cannot be tolerated. This is the way of the emperor, the magic of the emperor, and this is what you taught me, Shen An Bang.
So, I'm sorry Queen Mother and Lord Shen, you shameless scandals are destined to not exist in the world.
The two moonstones were face-up and next to each other. The bright red cinnabar was washed by the rain, leaving only a vague outline. After careful identification, you can still recognize the engraved on it.
- "Shen" and "Yan".
Chu Xi walked towards the upper study room. He remembered what was written on the Kongming lantern of Shen An Bang, which was cut off that year - "May the maiden live in peace."
Shen An Bang's wish in this life is nothing but a Chang'an queen mother.
Chu Yi shook his head and laughed. That person was really affectionate, but this was all shameful.
After he killed his mother, his... teacher.
When he returned to the upper study and sat on the dragon chair, a tear suddenly shed from his right eye, but his left eye remained unchanged. He raised his hand and wiped it gently.
The left eye is the emperor, the right eye is the son and the disciple.
The king sat high on the dragon chair, his face hidden in the darkness and his expression could not be seen clearly.
