Chapter 1

"When I was very young, wanniang told me that the most distinguished woman in the world was the queen. The palace where the queen lived was called Kunning palace. I asked wanniang what Kunning palace was like. "

"Wanniang said, she didn't know.

"Sitting under the eaves of the leaking rain in the countryside, I thought how good it would be if I could become a wild goose flying in the sky, fly to the prosperous capital, fly to the Forbidden City, and have a look at the Kunning palace?"

The door of the palace is closed, and only one window on the left side is open.

The sky was gloomy and the light was dim.

In the former busy Kunning palace, no one can see now.

All that remained was Jiang Xuening kneeling in front of the case, holding the incense sheath with her white and slender fingers. She gently poked in the cuojin Boshan stove on the end of the case. The wisps of smoke floated up from the pores. Her gold rusty Phoenix's clothes were long spread behind her, and the complex cloud patterns swam faintly in the darkness.

"Later, I got to the capital. God played a big joke on me, and gave me a false heart, but let me grow up in the countryside. I didn't have the bearing of a famous lady in Beijing and a lady of a noble family. He put me in this prosperous place and fighting field, and gave me a good bag.... "

Jiang Xuening's appearance is very bright and bright, burning like a lotus.

The eyebrows of moths are graceful, the tail of eyes is slightly picked, and the lips of sandalwood are dotted with vermilion. It's a natural charm. Because of the fact that she has been in charge of Fengyin and in a high position over the years, she has developed a rare grace and dignity.

When you lower your eyebrows and close your eyes, you can make your heart beat.

You Fangyin stood still behind her for a long time, listening to her voice like dust, and thinking of her life of scheming and striving for fame and profit in the eyes of the world, she suddenly fell into a trance.

There is a kind of sadness from the heart.

They all know that she can't escape.

Jiang Xuening suddenly laughed: "Fangyin, during this period of time, I always think, am I really wrong?"

When she was a child, she was raised by wanniang. She didn't know her life experience. She was a wild bird in the countryside outside Zhuangzi. Only wanniang's Rouge powder could let her go home.

Wan Niang was born in a thin horse and is a woman among women.

She said that the world is a man's world, only men can conquer; and women, just conquer men, will also conquer the world.

After returning to Beijing, she met Yanlin, the young Marquis of Yongyi's mansion. He took her to dress up as a man and played around in the capital. Even her parents didn't dare to discipline her too much, which was quite like bamboo horse and plum blossom.

Later, the house of marquis Yongyi was implicated in the rebellion of King Pingnan.

The Yanlin family was exiled for thousands of miles.

At night, the boy, who had not yet reached the crown, turned over the high wall of Jiang's house to look for her. With a hoarse voice, he held her hand hard: "Ning Ning, wait for me, I will come back to marry you."

Jiang Xuening said to him, "I want to marry Shen Yu. I want to be the queen."

I still remember that Yan Lin in her youth looked at her with a kind of cone-shaped eyes, like a struggling beast, red eyes and clenched teeth.

That night, the youth faded all the green, let go of her hand, turned to escape into the dark.

Five years later, she was Shen's Queen.

The road to the back seat is not so smooth, so in her short life, there are many people like Yan Lin.

For example, Xiao Dingfei, the official minister.

For example, the commander of the royal guards, Zhou Yinzhi.

Even Shen Zhi, the princess of LeYang who died later

However, no one thought that the youth of the past would make a comeback. After the victory at the border, Yan Lin threw Xie Wei, under the banner of "Qing emperor's side", came back in armor, led the army to encircle the capital, controlled the whole Forbidden City, and put her under house arrest.

Shen Li was poisoned, lingering on his bed, ignoring the government.

He went in and out of her palace in a dignified manner, and often refused to return when he came.

Inside and outside the court, no one dared to speak.

Everyone knows that he is Xie Wei's right arm.

When Xie Wei slaughtered half of the palace, he led the soldiers to guard the gates of the palace to prevent people from escaping. When Xie Wei killed the nine Xiao families, he led the people to break open the closed door and catch the men, women, old and young

Now, he and Xie Wei, the former imperial teacher, are standing outside her palace.

Shen Li has already died, leaving an imperial edict ordering her to listen to the government behind the curtain.

However, before he ascended the throne, he was cut off by the rebellious Tianjiao rebellion party and hung at the gate of the city.

Now, it's her turn.

Jiang Xuening blinked gently. Her long curly eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyelids, which made her look a bit desolate at the moment.

You Fangyin looks at her with some disappointment.

But she had put down the incense sheath, put on the censer, took the big box on the case and opened it. Inside, there are the imperial seal and a letter that she wrote and sealed an hour ago.

Yizhi wrote that she volunteered to die for the former Emperor and asked the crown prince and Taishi Xie Wei to help the country, assist the government and promote the emperor to succeed.Jiang Xuening suddenly raised her head and looked out of the window.

I don't know when the snow has stopped all night.

The dazzling sunlight came out of the dark clouds and fell into the windows of the gloomy palace, casting a bright light.

She murmured: "if I had known it was today's ending, why did I have to make some efforts? It's better to travel thousands of miles to see the rivers and mountains, when I'm free to go. In my whole life, I just went into the palace wall by mistake and became prosperous. "

You Fang was silent.

Jiang Xuening asked: "Fangyin, if you were given a choice, would you still come?"

You Fangyin is the strangest person Jiang Xuening has ever known.

She used to be a commoner girl in Jiangning Prefecture. She was clumsy and pitiful. Once she fell into the water, she changed her temperament greatly. From then on, she appeared in public and became rich in business. She issued a bill and established a chamber of Commerce. In just a few years, she became a leading businessman in Jiangning Prefecture.

It's not too much to call her "you Bancheng.".

It's just that she was not lucky. In this battle between the court and the court, she first stood in the wrong line. Although she later defected to Xie Wei, she has been under house arrest these days.

They were so miserable that they became intimate friends.

Jiang Xuening heard her story of starting from scratch. Many of her stories were novel. She also complained about the overseas countries she went to when she was in business, and even the steam engine didn't appear.

Jiang Xuening doesn't know what steam engine is.

But you Fangyin always said that he was not from here, but came from a far away place that he could not go back.

She also said that the former dynasty had a huge secret. If we knew it, no one with a little brain would make mistakes in this fight.

It's just a pity that she knew it late.

You Fang sighed and gave a bitter smile: "in this age when the birds don't poop, they will wear what they like."

Jiang Xuening hadn't heard such vulgar words for a long time. He was in a trance, but he thought of the time. He suddenly raised his voice and called out, "thank you!"

The scarlet palace walls are covered with white snow.

There were a lot of people outside the palace.

Yan Lin presses the sword on the side.

The head of the people standing long body, smell speech but did not answer.

Jiang Xuening knew he could hear.

This is the most thoughtful person in the whole Da Qian Dynasty.

Saint's skin, devil's heart.

How many people respect, respect and admire the imperial master, the prince and the Grand Master of the two dynasties? But I don't know that beneath this clean appearance, there is a fierce heart full of killing: under the Shangfang sword given by the emperor, it is covered with the blood of the royal family, which makes the river of the moat red; in the hands of the writer, the body of the victim is piled up like a mountain.

It's the only one she can't please at all.

"You are the one who holds the power and my life to kill the royal family, the Xiao family and the Tianjiao sect. It is reasonable that I am not qualified to make terms with you." Jiang Xuening suddenly dropped a tear from her eyes and branded it on the back of her hand. "I've used many people in my life, but after careful calculation, Yan Lin retaliated against me. I used Xiao Dingfei and Zhou Yinzhi to take advantage of me. I calculated that Shen Li would die for him and go to the yellow spring. I don't owe them... "

Life's ups and downs of life, so across.

The dagger was in her sleeve.

She gently pulled it out, cold light flashing blade, reflecting her eyes and sideburns that a gorgeous golden step.

Jiang Xuening's body trembled, her voice trembled, and her eyes were full of tears. But she was not qualified to cry. She just said, "but there is only one person who has been upright all his life. I forced him to go astray and pollute his reputation for half his life. He is a good official. I sincerely hope that Lord Xie will take care of you. On the way to Beijing, Xuening gave you blood. I'll give him my life in exchange for his life, and let him live... "

Who would have expected that the heartless empress would one day exchange her life for a servant of the Ministry of justice?

Is it because she has no heart, or someone else has not warmed her heart?

The man outside the palace did not move for a long time.

After a long time, I heard the plain word: "can."

What a beautiful voice.

It's like a long time ago.

Jiang Xuening smiles with relief and refuses to raise her hand --

"Pooh."

When the sharp dagger cuts the blood on the thin neck, it is the sound of breaking paper. It seems that there is the sound of someone's sword falling to the ground outside the palace.

She fell, too.

The exquisite gold steps smashed on the ground, and the deep ruby inlaid on it broke and splashed out. Warm blood, along the steps, slowly soaked in the cold ground, like her young barefoot often play that shallow stream.

Enter the palace wall by mistake and make a cocoon of prosperity.

This Kunning palace has finally become a grave for swallowing her bones and burying her life.Out of the window, sunny comes out and shines on the snow. Little by little, it's slowly melting

*

it's a long dream. In the dream, the cause and effect of the whole life are all chaotic. Only when the blade passes through the neck, the feeling is very clear.

It hurts.

Jiang Xuening thought, as early as I knew, I should choose a painless way to die.

"Cough."

There was something pressing on her chest in the dream that made her gasp, so she coughed and finally opened her eyes.

However, this look is frightening.

She was lying in the middle of two beds, or rather a man. Close at hand, is a handsome young man's face, almost with her breath intersection, even raised a hand to embrace her carelessly.

Jiang Xuening's head was blown up.

This scene had to remind her that Yan Lin had put her under house arrest after she returned to court, and she always quietly stepped into her palace, which made her sleep uneasy

She threw the man's hand away and stood up from the bed.

The young man opened his eyes in a drunken dream. It was strange that she only half sat up and even reached out to pull her: "well, brother Jiang, let's continue to sleep -"

"be presumptuous!"

At least he was once a queen or even a hundred officials. Jiang Xuening listened to his rude remarks and saw that he behaved wildly. He slapped him in the face subconsciously!

"Pa!"

This sound was so loud that it finally startled the xuanpao boy sleeping soundly on the other side of the soft couch.

When he opened his eyes, he had a long eyebrow, a straight nose and thin lips. He had his own spirit. When I saw this scene, I was at a loss for a moment, but then I caught a glimpse of the messy robes of the young man in Huafu, the five reddish finger marks on his right cheek, and Jiang Xuening's surprised and angry face.

"Zheng" ground a, the youth reaction comes over, the moment strides to block in front of Jiang Xuening body, draw sword scabbard, sword tip pressure in youth neck!

There is still a green face covered with frost.

"What did you do to her?" he asked in a cold voice

The young man was surprised that he was so impulsive that he dared to draw a sword at himself. On the other hand, he was aggrieved and innocent. He couldn't help covering his cheek: "what can I do? I don't want to break my sleeves

The young man frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

My king

Jiang Xuening suddenly froze.

Only then did she realize that she was full of wine and found that she was wearing a green robe embroidered with silver thread and bamboo pattern to dress up as a teenager. There was a burning pain on the palm of her hand when she hit someone just now.

Women dress up as men.

Not in a dream.

And the face of the young man pointed at by the sword, and the figure of the young man standing in front of her, finally came up from her memory: one was Shen Li, the king of Linzi, who later became an emperor, and the other was Yan Lin, the little Marquis, who later became a disorderly minister!

Is this the rebirth that you Fangyin often talks about?

She was careful in her previous life and coaxed the men around. At the beginning of this life, she gave the future emperor a slap

Now kneel down and thank you. Is it time?
