It was Song Langsheng, the minister of Dali Temple.
"Have the princess ever wondered, why did the princess fall into the water, so coincidentally, that Song Langsheng was able to come back from a tolerance and save you in time?"
Unless he already knew.
I suddenly remembered that Song Langsheng once said to me a long time ago: "The so-called rulers calculate the benefits and losses, and consider the short and long, while those who hold the law do not waste their righteousness and do not leak evil."
A good one, not in vain, not evil.
Life is so ironic, who would have expected the shield of yesterday to become the arrow of tomorrow?
My eyes were hazy, and I muttered words that even I didn't believe, "He at least came to save me, didn't he..."
But even the last glimmer of hope was destroyed.
Nie Ran looked at me calmly, "Fangcai, you asked me where Song Langsheng went? Actually, I don't know the details, I just know that he went to see my father to discuss the last important matter. The two-year period has come, you Your memories are all gone, how could he be by your side at such a time? You know, the last step in Feng Li's plan is to wait."
I was stunned for a while before I understood what he said, "Wait...what?"
"Wait for an opportunity, so that Song Langsheng has a high-sounding reason to return to Beijing to disrupt the court situation." Nie Ran said: "That is... Waiting for the princess to die."
My whole body trembled involuntarily.
Nie Ran lowered his eyes and said, "Princess bào died, he is the concubine and the minister of Dali Temple, he will be thoroughly investigated in grief and anger, and the people involved in the case will not escape this disaster-the princess cheated death and tried to protect Song Langsheng before. , so that he will no longer be suspicious, and I am afraid that even the crown prince will fully cooperate with him to find the real murderer, then..."
"Then, he can take the opportunity to win over more forces, cooperate from inside to outside, and get one step closer to your chance of success, right?" I felt my tears well up, "Even, you even have the chance of poisoning. I won't give it to me. In order to wrongly accuse more powerful officials and generals who hinder your progress, I will plan a serious assassination - this is the reason why Feng Li is unwilling to attack me anyway, because he is also waiting, Waiting for the best time to let me die, right?"
Nie Ran didn't answer me anymore.
My heart, like sinking into a vast ocean of ink, quietly reaches the deepest and darkest place.
In this world, there is something more terrifying than the person I love the most who wants me to die.
That is after my death, that person, will destroy everything I have and cherish in this world——
Since I was a child, I have seen the killings and betrayals in the power and conspiracy. There are regrets in the world, but there is always light, and everyone has pain. If you can put yourself in the shoes and give your sincerity, even if you can't get what you want, you can always get back your promise.
Why does he treat me like this?
Why make me feel hatred after I have tasted despair?
The mountain wind blew, and a few leaves drifted in with the wind. I slowly said, "Nie Ran, you can tell me so much, I'm afraid, you don't want me to die. Now, it's time to start."
I know that since the military talisman is in hand, he has no reason to keep me in this world.
As if Nie Ran didn't hear me, he lowered his head and picked up the scattered military talismans and scrolls, wrapped them in a knot, put them in my palm, and said lightly, "When the morning comes, the minister will send the princess down the mountain, the princess is not injured. It’s light, it’s best to go directly to the palace and let the imperial hospital treat you.”
I looked up suddenly, almost thinking I heard it wrong, "Why?"
"Right now, the princess' mansion...I'm afraid it's not safe..."
I stared at his calm face, "Do you know what it means to you when I return to the palace today?"
Nie Ran said, "This minister knows."
I shook my head, "Do you think that if you tell me the truth, I will be able to forgive your Nie family's sins? Do you think that if you save me, I will be able to spare your death in disregard of the law?"
Nie Ran smiled lightly, "I know, the princess won't."
I raised my accent suddenly, "Then why did you let me go? Why did you return the military talisman to me? Why did you tell me the truth?!"
"Since this battle is inevitable, we should give Her Royal Highness a chance to play a fair game instead of exploiting endless deceit and concealment—" His eyes were deep and deep, "I just did a trick. It's just... something Xu Fang would do."
I was stunned, "Xu Fang...what can you do?"
"Remember what I asked you just now? I asked the princess, if I get Xu Fang back, will you not be sad?" Nie Ran's face was like a lake, "The letter has been destroyed, and I can't find Xu Fang back. To you, but I know that if he was the one with the princess at the moment, he would definitely do the same."
I looked at him deeply, "but you are not him, you were even afraid to change back to him, now, why do you want to do what Xu Fang would do?"
The sky is slightly bright, and in the blink of an eye, there are thousands of rays of light oozing out of the clouds, like the immortal buildings of Qionglou, which are endless.
Nie Ran was silent for a while, then sighed leisurely: "Because, like him, I don't want to..."
Unwilling, unwilling, he did not finish.
I was speechless for a moment, Nie Ran put on his official robe again, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked into the distance: "Let's go, minister, send the princess back to the palace."
With his gaze, I looked down at the dawn of the weather, not only the capital, but also the endless mountains and rivers, which could be grasped by almost one hand.
When I was a child, my father once told me that standing on a high place, my heart would be filled with the vastness of the country.
However, the only person among thousands of people can reach the top.
And the price is to trample the other tens of millions of people under their feet.
I never thought so.
I actually... don't think so.
(——End of this chapter, see something to say)
The author has something to say:
Originally this chapter had the Concubine appear, but I was worried that too much information was put in one chapter and everyone felt unacceptable, so Xing would open another chapter full of Concubine~~ That is the next chapter~~ The next chapter is basically written. It's over~~~ But I have to retouch it again~~~ It's just purple~~ Mmmm~ Don't ask me who the male protagonist is. The male protagonist must be the concubine! ! ! ! !
Chapter 43
Nie Ran didn't break his promise after all, he sent me to the imperial city safely.
As soon as I got to the city gate, I met the soldiers sent by the prince to look for me. After getting into the carriage, Nie Ran also got on a horse and accompanied the brigade to protect me.
Until the gate of the palace, he respectfully saluted me outside the carriage, saying that it was the time for the Guozijian to teach, and it was a pity that he could not accompany me into the palace.
How do I think, how do I think he is going to go back to clean up the posture of running softly.
But still agreed.
In fact, I was exhausted, and I stretched to the east palace before I relaxed my tense body - I fell asleep without any suspense.
It's not the first time this has happened, and it probably won't be the last at this frequency.
The last time I was in a coma for three days because of Lu Lingjun's case, but fortunately this time I was covered in bruises and wounds, and I was woken up by my own pain after only half a day of sleep.
The reason why call this a blessing... It's really because of the current situation, don't know what the consequences will be if slack off a little.
When I was awake, I saw the Crown Prince sitting beside the bed, with a thick stack of memorials placed beside the couch, and he was also holding a book in his hand, with a hand warmer in his arms, his head drooping, and he was taking a nap.
My heart warmed, and suddenly I wanted to cry.
Many times when I wake up from the brink of danger, the one who accompanies me is always the younger brother of the prince.
In fact, he has been neglected because of his weak body since he was a child. Among many brothers and sisters, he is neither smart nor clever. As long as I can remember, he likes to stick to me and run behind me. It's too bad, when it's not cold and freezing, I always hold a heater.
Later, when I grew up, Yin was sent to the position of the prince by mistake. I thought I could mature, but I still like to play tricks on me. Every time I see him, I can't wait to pinch him to relieve my anger.
But now, he is the only person in this world who will never leave me without abandoning me.
But don't know how many times I'll see him again.
I thought about it like this and looked at it, only to see that my eyes were blurred into mist, and the mist turned into water, and then when I slipped, I saw the prince's younger brother opened his eyes and looked at me quietly.
He didn't get angry and scolded me as usual, and he didn't divert my attention with jokes to appease my emotions. The candles in the room were flickering, and I looked back at him, watching his pupils turn pale. concentrated.
I don't know why, I was a little nervous at the quiet eyes of the prince's younger brother.
After an unknown amount of time, he said, "Sister Huang, from now on, don't take on the things that I should have to take on."
"Prince..."
"Yes, I am the prince. But you, Huangjie, always forget that I am the prince, so you put yourself in danger again and again." He said solemnly, "I will definitely, never let Huangjie you again. Injured in the slightest."
I smiled reluctantly, "What a fuss, I just got a little skin injury..."
"If it were me!" The Crown Prince interrupted me, "If it was me who was injured, if it was me who jumped off the cliff in order to defend the military talisman, if it was me who was lost and lost his life soon, dare to ask the emperor... ...how do you feel?"
I was startled, and then the prince's lips opened and closed: "If Huangjie goes like this, have you ever thought about my heart?" The prince looked at me deeply, neither smiling nor angry, "From now on , no matter what the emperor said, Jingyan, I will save your life!"
In his words there is a hint of sacrifice. I know too well the power of this forgetting soul powder. When Xu Fang was poisoned, Qing Gu saved him. I saw it with my own eyes. Qing Gu once said, unless the person who poisoned him. If you are willing to tell the secret recipe of the medicine, otherwise there is little hope, and today, if you still want to live, you can only be at the mercy of the poisoner.
For a while, I didn't bother to ask him how he learned about this, and couldn't help but slapped the board and scolded: "You are the prince of my Daqing, and the future emperor! If the country is abolished for such trivial matters, how can I be worthy of my father? The emperor's sustenance and high hopes for you!"
The prince said: "Is the Princess Jianguo a victim used to consolidate the situation of the court? Do you think that you have to sacrifice yourself and others for me and your father? Do you know why the father was seriously ill two years ago? It was because You! It was because he learned that you fell off a cliff and died, and the grief was so unbearable that the old disease relapsed, and it has been unbearable since then!"
My breathing stopped for a while.
Father, it is because of me that I cannot afford to be seriously ill...
It's because I...
I never knew qíng!
After the prince said that, he immediately regretted it. When he saw me trembling slightly, his expression changed, and he hurriedly held my hand, "Sister Huang, I was in a hurry and made a mistake, Father, Father, he has always been a dragon It's not your fault that you're sick..."
I gritted my teeth and felt that my whole body was shaking uncontrollably. I just heard the prince say: "I saw the imperial elder sister returning to the palace, and I heard that the imperial doctor said that you had been poisoned, and when he got angry, he invited Nie Ran to interrogate him. He explained the ins and outs of the matter, and I found you in your mansion and gave it to me. The suicide note I wrote is really scary, Huangjie, if it wasn't because of me, it was because of me that I was useless and tired you so far, I..."
I slowly closed my eyes. Sink into a darker abyss with one's own heart, then spread and erode.
"Emperor sister?" The prince said cautiously.
I raised my head and looked at the starry sky outside the window. I was silent for a long time and said, "I want to see the emperor."
The palace lanterns are like day, and the candles are flickering and burning brightly.
The father was still asleep.
