Time is like a rubber band with excellent elasticity. When you are in this period of time, you feel that the rubber band is stretched infinitely, and time flows slowly. When you look back after this period of time, the rubber band is suddenly released. I opened it, and took it back with a snap, and I felt that the time passed extremely fast.
In this strange metaphor, ten years have passed.
Chu Xi is eighteen this year, which is the age of high spirits and aspirations. Two years ago, Shen Fengyue personally helped him choose a palace queen, a young couple, who were both of the best family and character. When they first got married, they were a little bit shy with each other. After two years of running together, it was much better.
He has grown up, and he is not as clingy as he was when he was a child. On the one hand, Shen Fengyue was somewhat proud of his growth, and on the other hand, he was somewhat desolate of the old mother who watched the child drift away from him. At this moment, Shen Pi Tang would suddenly jump out and try his best to tease him, instantly diverting his attention.
Speaking of Shen An Bang, he has long since broken ties with Yan State in the past ten years, and Shen An Bang has also carefully assisted and taught Chu Xi's emperor's heart and emperor's way. I heard that Chu Xi had already imprisoned the world's military power last month. Hold it firmly in your hands.
Shen An Bang got the news, and he came to tell him the first time. At that time, he smiled and said to him. Your Majesty has grown up and is very different from his childhood. He is also slowly giving power and manpower to His Majesty. After a while, he resigned, and the empress dowager died in feigned death, and returned to the mountains together. It would be nice to be a free husband and wife with idle clouds and wild cranes.
For his suggestion, Shen Fengyue was very excited. Now that he has decided to grow old with Shen An Bang and finish his task to death, wouldn't this kind of free life be better? He was tired and tired with the richness and wealth of the royal court.
So the two hit it off, secretly preparing.
Unexpectedly, God's will tricks people, and a big change happened.
It was a rainy night, and the rain was a little heavy. When Shen Fengyue went to close the window, he heard the patter of rain hitting the window lattice. He closed the window, and when he was about to go to bed, he heard a noise outside.
"Who are you?!"
"This is Shoukang Palace, how dare you trespass!"
"The empress dowager is about to rest, what are you doing?!"
Hongmei Luoxue's scolding came from outside, and the content seemed to be an uninvited guest rushing to Shoukang Palace.
"Hongmei, what's the matter?" He put on his jacket and asked loudly outside.
There was a rustling sound of armor rubbing from far to near, their steps were neat, they turned into one, listened 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 and knives coming 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 his eyes and asked sternly: "This is the Shoukang Palace, the dowager's dowager of the Great Chu, you and other foreign men dance knives and swords, how dare to break into Shoukang Palace?" This simple question was overwhelming. , Shen Fengyue has been the empress dowager for more than ten years and has long known how to show the imperial power.
Those few people were suppressed by his imposing manner, and the attitude was immediately humble. It seems that the leader among them stood up and bowed to Shen Fengyue and said: "The empress dowager forgive me. I am on your majesty's order and hereby invite you to the study room."
In the middle of the night, Chu Xi asked him to go to the study, which was definitely not a good thing.
Her right eyelid suddenly twitched, and Shen Fengyue raised her hand to hold it down, and asked, "What if the Aijia doesn't want it?"
Commander took a quick look at him, and drew out the sword half of her waist: "Please don't make me embarrassed by the empress mother. If the mother insists on this, I will only be offended."
There are too many enemies and we are few. One to ten is not good. Moreover, these ten people seem to be very good in martial arts. I am afraid that the upper body of the system will also be difficult to solve at once.
Thinking of this, Shen Fengyue nodded and agreed. Before he left, he asked to dress neatly, he was the queen mother, and those people dare not violate this requirement. So Shen Fengyue, who was neatly packed, followed the black armors. Hongmei Luoxue wanted to keep up, but was stopped by two black armors, saying that his Majesty only wanted the queen mother 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 really heavy, and the long skirt corners had been wet by splashing rain during the action.
Shen Fengyue glanced at the sky, the sky was pitch black, no light could be seen, the only light was flashing purple lightning. Cut through the dark night with a powerful gesture, a short-lived flash in the pan, and the darkness returned after the light.
Then came the ear-splitting thunder. A thunder caused a succession of thunders. The thunder blasted into one ear.
Ominous premonition...
Shen Fengyue followed them to the study.
The distance between the Shoukang Palace and the study room is actually not long, but Shen Fengyue was so dignified by the inexplicable situation, and his heart seemed to be picked up. He unconsciously speeded up his pace, letting the muddy water wet his shoes and socks. Dirty the skirt tail.
Finally, the study room 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 under the rain.
There was already someone waiting for him in the room. The first thing that caught your eye was Shen Anbang, who was kneeling on the ground under the pressure of two people.
When Shen An Bang saw him, his eyes lit up: "The empress dowager."
Seeing this situation, Shen Fengyue was shocked, and before he could respond, she raised her eyes and looked up in her seat.
Chu Xi wore solemn and steady court clothes with gold patterns on a black background. On her head, she wore a crown of twelve flamboyants. The long jade string hangs down, making it difficult to see his expression. From beginning to end, he sat firmly on the dragon chair, motionless.
"What are you doing? Quickly let him go to Ai's family." Shen Fengyue ordered the two people.
There are not many people in the room, and the atmosphere is quiet, his voice is especially loud, and there is no way he can hear it, but the two of them are still motionless.
Fearing that these two were only obedient to the emperor, Shen Fengyue turned his gaze to Chu Xi: "The emperor?"
"Let him go." The emperor issued an order, and the two men obeyed their orders to release Shen Anbang.
After being released, Shen Anbang did not dare to get up and still knelt on the ground.
Shen Fengyue stood beside him and asked, "What does the emperor mean by this time?"
The person on the dragon chair listened and finally moved. His head moved slightly, and the bead on his head shook slightly, making a crisp sound when he collided.
He chuckled first, as if being amused.
"I have carefully observed it. Since the queen mother entered the house, the first thing I saw was Lord Shen Hou." He put his hands on his thighs, unconsciously patted his right hand slowly and regularly, and then said, "Look. The one who gets the most is also Lord Shen Hou."
"I want to know, the queen mother and Lord Shen Hou..." He paused, and peeked forward.
"What does it matter?"
Shen Fengyue subconsciously retorted: "The Ai's family and Shen Houye have nothing to do with each other. One is the empress dowager and the other is Houye. How did the emperor get me together. Besides..." He didn't finish. It was cut off by Chu Analysis.
"I'm afraid that the mother and queen have forgotten. I am the emperor, the lord of the world, what can I hide? You fool me as a three-year-old child, but I don't agree with it."
When Shen Fengyue wanted to talk, she was silently pulled by Shen Anbang's pull-out corner behind her back.
The emperor has been observing them, and this scene is naturally a panoramic view.
"The emperor, please say something to Rongchen. The minister and the empress dowager are innocent, but when the first emperor was there, they had more familiar friendship with the empress." He lowered his eyes and replied neither humble nor humble.
Chu Xi let out a chuckle, which was very mocking. He took out an object from his sleeve, a white stone with red silk thread on it.
"This thing has been here for ten years. It's time for the thing to return to its original owner."
The stone was thrown down from the seat, just in front of Shen An Bang, and rolled several times on the ground. When it stopped, the side with the lettering was facing upward.
This object is familiar and tight, it is the old moon stone that Shen Fengyue lost ten years ago.
Shen An Bang did not dare to pick it up, still maintaining the original action.
"Why didn't Master Hou pick it up and take a look? This stone is a pair with yours." Chu Xi first looked at him, then turned his gaze to Shen Fengyue, "Your moment is' Yan', the part of the Queen Mother is'Shen', but you have taken a lot of thought."
"Shen Yan, do you want to have two surnames?" He questioned, suddenly picked up an inkstone on the table, and threw it in the direction of Shen Anbang.
Shen An Bang was aware of it, but he did not hide, and stuck there in a daze. Shen Fengyue's reaction was extremely fast. When the inkstone slammed over, he subconsciously bent his arm to stop Shen Anbang.
The inkstone slammed firmly on his arm, leaving a bright ink mark on his clothes, and then bounced to the ground under force.
Blocking the inkstone with bare hands, the impact is not small, and the forearm is painful after blocking.
His behavior really angered Chu Xi. He suddenly stood up from his seat and slapped his hands on the desk hard: "Mother, are you worthy of the late emperor like this?!"
Speaking of Emperor Chu, Shen Fengyue couldn't find anything to say.
His silence was taken as an acquiescence by Chu Xi: "You are the empress dowager of Da Chu, with a valuable status, but you have done such things ashamed of your ancestors. As a son, I am also very distressed. The face of the heavenly family cannot be defiled and stepped on. On the ground, a square can’t be formed without following the rules. There is only one way to deal with it.
Shen Fengyue suddenly raised her head and looked at his closed mouth. Suddenly, a piece of past came to mind.
At that time, he was still an imperial concubine, and Chu Xi went to school in one day and showed him his articles.
The voices of their question and answer echoed in my memory.
He asked Chu Xi: "If there is a hidden feeling, can I open a favor outside the law? Is the law tolerant?"
"From my son's point of view, there is no rule or a circle. If everyone follows the sentiment, how can the law be implemented? Where is the authority of the law?"
The child replied in a tender voice.
It turns out that everything is already doomed, the clues have emerged from the beginning...
Tong Yin was replaced by the voice of the young man after he grew up. He said: "The Queen Mother and Lord Hou can only keep the next one, with all the majesty of the family. And this choice is the right to make friends with Lord Shen Hou."
Chu Xi was confident in the choice he gave them, and if the right of choice was in Shen Anbang, he would definitely choose to protect the queen mother.
Sure enough, the next moment, the man raised his head and said to him: "Thank you for your grace, the minister is willing to protect the empress dowager."
The emperor was able to make this move, presumably his troops had already been wiped out.
"What are you doing Shen An Bang?!" After hearing this, Shen Fengyue immediately pounced on him.
"What are you trying to do, don't hesitate to help the empress dowager away!"
Chu Xi ordered, and someone immediately came forward to separate Shen Fengyue from Shen Anbang. Shen Fengyue fought hard, but was held firmly by several people, and dragged it aside indiscriminately. In the chaos, Shen An Bang picked up the moon old stone on the ground and the piece hanging on his waist and stuffed them together. Shen Fengyue's arms.
Shen Fengyue was pressed to the corner of the wall.
"Let go of Ai's family! Ai's family is the queen mother, is it possible that the words of Ai's family will not be heard?!"
Chu Xi walked down from the seat, and a palace man came in from outside the hall with a horizontal board in his hand with white silk and poisonous wine displayed on it. Chu Xi made a request and signaled Shen An Bang to choose.
He chose poisoned wine, and he felt 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 fiercely, her temples were already disheveled, and there were fine beads of sweat attached to her forehead, looking very embarrassed.
"The empress dowager should stop struggling. It is both exhausting and useless. I feel sorry for you."
Hearing this, Shen Fengyue really stopped struggling, and stared at him blankly. Tears had already flowed out and soaked his clothes, but he didn't realize it.
"May my mother be blessed and happy, and Changle Wuji will be happy forever. For this reason, the death of the minister is also a pity." Shen An Bang said.
He said exactly the same thing as when he offered the gift. At that time, he said with a smile, saying a congratulatory message, and he was full of blessings. Now he also said with a smile, his lips curled up, his brows curled, and his smile couldn't be more beautiful, but Shen Fengyue only felt a utter coldness, and a great sorrow filled his heart for a long time.
Chu Xi was not interested in watching them continue to reluctantly, and ordered the people to be taken away. He also followed, to watch them with his own eyes.
Both the emperor and the queen mother were holding umbrellas, but Shen Anbang was caught in the rain. In the rain curtain, he only left Shen Fengyue behind.
Chu Xi ordered someone to take him to an abandoned palace. The guards guarded him and entered the room. The moment he entered the room, he suddenly rushed to Chu to analyze: "The minister has one more wish. Please also ask your majesty to lock the door. The minister is afraid of the queen mother. The empress was sad."
Chu analysis was accurate.
So he turned around and was about to close the door. At this moment, the strength of Shen Fengyue's unknown source actually broke free from the person who restrained him and rushed to the room.
"Shen An Bang!—" he yelled, and rushed straight to the place. The rain immediately smashed at him. He ran too fast, fell and watched the door close in front of him. .
"Do not!!!!--"
A door was closed, only the last side of the lover was seen, and then it was blocked by the closed door.
The palace man was going to lock the door, and he immediately got up from the ground and stopped the man.
"Don't don't don't, don't lock, don't lock, please, please, he's still inside, how can he lock it?! He's still inside, please..." He kept talking 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 seduce him, I seduce him, all the mistakes are my fault, let me Will you die instead of him?"
"Empress Mother, please don't make the slave embarrassed."
With a click, the door was locked.
Shen Fengyue wailed in pain and burst into tears. While crying, she knocked on the door frantically. The door vibrated, and the lock hung on it hit the door and made a knocking sound.
"Shen An Bang, don't drink it, don't drink it. You can't die, I have a way, I have a way, and I have a lot of ways." He slapped the door frantically, tears Falling down like desperately, "I ask the system to help us, as long as you don't drink, as long as you don't die, it will surely protect us."
"Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang..." He kept calling his name, as if grabbing the last straw, "System, You will help me, right, you will."
The system was about to speak, but heard a tone:
[Ding Dong, the bug has been cleared. 】
"Please..." The unfinished words got stuck for an instant, and the pat on the door stopped. Shen Fengyue opened her eyes in disbelief, letting tears flow down.
bug, cleared?
Task, completed?
What about Shen An Bang and Shen An Bang? He began to slap the brown door frantically again: "Shen Anbang, come out, you squeak, so that I know you are alive! Talk, you are not dead, right?!"
The system couldn't bear him, saying: "Old Shen, everything is over..."
"Shen An Bang... he is dead." It uttered the second half with difficulty.
Shen Fengyue didn't believe in all of this, she still slapped the door in vain, calling Shen Anbang's name.
He was separated from him by the brown door blocking everything.
"Husband, husband, husband...My husband..." Shen Fengyue only called Shen Anbang twice, once when they were married and worshipped, and the last time was when Shen Anbang died.
In vain, memories like flowers and flowers popped out of his mind, and he hurried away, some of him smiling and calling the empress dowager, some of him turning the window into the house, some of his blinking eyes, his mind was full They all look like Shen An Bang.
Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang, Shen An Bang...
And he said simple and direct love words over and over again:
"The empress dowager, the minister pleases you."
He said that there is no birth or separation, only death. He never thought that it was really true.
Shen Fengyue was in tears and sad, but at this moment, an arrow shot from behind and penetrated his heart.
He looked down at the arrow penetrating his heart, the arrow was stained with bright red blood, he had no time to turn around to see who it was, and only put his last strength in front of him, he tried his best to reach out and grab the door, trying his best Lovers are close together.
This door is really stern, it can't be knocked no matter how you knock...
He was confused, his eyes closed, and he died of anger.
Death cannot separate us.
[Ding Dong, the task is complete, the auxiliary program is complete, and I am leaving the world. 】
Chu Xi shook his hands and lowered his bow, tears raining down. This bow is vermilion red, with gold threads entwined with patterns, and the name is-Sankai Kuang.
"Mother, I'm sorry," he murmured, throwing his bow on the ground, "Remove the Queen Mother and open the door."
According to the palace man, he took the Queen Mother's body away, and two white stones fell out of his arms, no one cares about it.
Click, the door lock is opened. As soon as 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 Anbang was indeed dead, he ordered, "You all know how to do it."
All the people who knew the truth could not live, this was a secret of the heavenly family, so after his order, these people bite the poison bag one after another, the poisonous entrance, and within three seconds, they died in anger.
Chu Xi turned and left, and the palace figures behind him fell one by one.
The face of the royal family is not to be trampled on, and the law is not to be merciful. This is the way of the emperor, the heart of the emperor, and this is what you taught me, Shen Anbang.
So, I'm sorry, Empress Shen and Lord Shen Hou, your shameless scandal is destined to not exist in the world.
The two moon-old stones face up next to each other, the bright red cinnabar was washed by the rain, leaving only a vague outline. Careful identification can still recognize the engraved on it.
-"Shen" and "Yan".
Chu Xi walked towards the study room. He remembered the words written on the Kong Ming Lantern of Shen An Bang that had been cut off that year-"May the empress Changan."
Shen An Bang's wish in this life is nothing more than the Queen Mother Chang'an.
Chu Xi shook his head and laughed. The man was really affectionate, but these were all shameful things.
After he killed his mother, his...teacher.
When he returned to the study room and sat on the dragon chair, his right eye burst into tears, 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 disciple.
The king sat high on the dragon chair, his face hidden in the darkness and his expression could not be seen clearly.
