Chapter 51 Chapter 51: The Tea Smoke Through the Green Gauze

The next day, news came from Jinxiu's palace staff that Qiao Wan, Duke of Yongding, who was imprisoned in Yongding's mansion, wanted to send troops to rescue the empress and noble concubine, but his plan was found out by Feng Weicong's subordinates.Qiao Wan's disguised team walked to Suzaku Street, but was robbed by Su Hui and Qi Fang who had been waiting for a long time.Qiao Dao resisted in a corner, and was shot dead by Qi Fang himself on the spot, followed by the army of King Kangjun. After receiving the decree of peace, he did not return to the court according to the decree. The Ministry and the Zixing warrior with strong martial arts fled into the Qinling Mountains with his son, but he did not know where to end.

When we got the news, Suhui had captured the Wude army, and all the generals involved in the rebellion were beheaded for public display.Jinxiu's biggest backer, Ningkang County King, is alive or dead, and no one can lead the army back to Chang'an. Even though I assured her that Feibai was not hurting Feiliu, and I sent dark men to rescue her, Jinxiu suffered a huge blow. Terrified, she developed a high fever, let alone go to Famen Temple, she couldn't even stand up, so I stayed and took care of Jinxiu. In order to save Jinxiu's life, Chuxi had no choice but to hand over the Fenggong seal of Jinxiu's royal concubine, who was in charge of the palace, with tears in her eyes.At this time, Jinxiu didn't care about that Feng Gong seal at all, she always held my hand nervously, "Don't leave me, once you leave, he will come to harm me."

Or he hugged me tightly, and whispered to me: "Don't let Feiliu approach me, he is waiting for me to lure Feiliu to force him to hand over the jade seal, and then kill him." Her eyes were loose, and she smiled at me: "Mujin, my Liu'er is the real prince of Dayuan. When I win this world, Mujin and I will be half of each other, that's great." I burst into tears silently at her, but she flicked my tears with disgust, and pushed me away, with a disheveled bun and purple pupils looking at me high above, "The Holy Majesty doesn't like to look at women Cry, do you think that crying and crying can make the Holy Majesty look more? No one can compete with me for favor."

Chuxi told me with tears that Jinxiu hadn't been sick for many years, but this little high fever made her seriously ill, and all her will collapsed. The once invincible purple pupil was full of fear and worry, The cloud-like black hair turned white overnight, and her beautiful face quickly became haggard, and she lost ten catties within a few days.Except for me and Chuxi, she doesn't let anyone get close. For any medicine and food, she will watch Chuxi try it with wide eyes, and then squat down in front of me, watch me carefully and try it again. She will take it carefully, because she is convinced that Feibai will use chronic poison to harm her, just like she treated poor Qin'er back then.

She stayed up all night and night, just staring at her purple pupils with sunken eye sockets.He stared intently at the entrance of the hall—it turned out that the 30-year-old beauty looked like a 40-year-old woman, waiting for the return of the guards or Feiliu who came to detain her. On February 2, a good day when the dragon raised his head, Chu, who was guarding outside, staggered into Jinxiu's bedroom, weeping and crying happily: "Master, Your Highness is still alive, and His Highness has brought an iron guard back to Ziqi Palace." "Last night, the king of Ningkang County wanted to bring three thousand Fengde troops to the Qinling Mountains. The king of Ningkang County was captured alive. The dark people of my Jun family have rescued His Highness the King of Hanzhong. It was His Highness who brought the King of Ningkang and the imperial concubine with him. An iron guard came back by himself." Xiaoyu replied from the side, "His Royal Highness is kneeling at the gate of Chongyuan Hall holding a jade seal, shouting long live, wishing to be filial piety for the late emperor all his life, and only asking the sage to spare King Ningkang from death The imperial concubine was buried for the late emperor."

Jinxiu's eyes were ashen, her hands trembled, and the calendula fell on the gold brick, making a rapid and piercing sound, her voice sounded like she was dead, "It's over." Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the imperial concubine, Zhongyong County King Yu Feiyan, his wife Ancheng Princess, Taipu Temple Minister Chang Zaidao, Dali Temple Minister Zhu Yingjiu, and the newly pardoned three Linwu generals Lu Lun are all kneeling on the body of the King of Hanzhong." On the side, please order for Ningkang County King and Taihuang Noble Concubine." We spent about an hour with Jinxiu's six spirits, and saw Jinxiu's palace servants come in with tears on their faces, saying: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, the emperor is ready to play, the king of Ningkang County can be spared the death penalty, and he can't escape the crime of living, so he will be demoted to the common people; The king was bewitched by a traitor, and he was pardoned and innocent, and now he is allowed to be a filial piety for the late emperor, and he will come to reunite with your empress soon."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was no joy on Jinxiu's haggard face. After a while, a large group of people rushed into the hall, and the last one was Feiliu sitting on a tall horse, with a dark and thin face and a dignified expression. When I arrived at the central hall, I asked the prison team to wait outside the hall.Feiliu had just greeted Jinxiu, and asked about Jinxiu's body worriedly, but she didn't want Jinxiu to suddenly raise her hand and slap Feiliu.Jinxiu was still ill, and the strength of her skinny hands had weakened a bit. Even so, Feiliu's face was still missed, and five fingerprints were clearly printed on her small face.We were shocked, I pressed Jinxiu's hand and stared at her angrily.But Feiliu seemed to be fine, instead he took a step forward and smiled at Jinxiu, "Father is very lonely by himself, and it's just that I can go and accompany him."

"Shut up!" Jinxiu still had a stern face, looking at Feiliu bitterly, "I said, you only need to go, you only need to go far, as long as you have the jade seal, why worry about not having the throne?" Feiliu said solemnly, "I am worried about my mother." Jinxiu roared: "Whoever wants you to worry, it's just right for him to kill me. If he kills the empress and noble concubine, everyone in the world will be punished. It can be your capital to restore yourself in the future." "Mother and queen are confused," Feiliu said solemnly, "Father and emperor died, and it is a serious crime for Feiliu not to return. The emperor's brother can easily lead the courtiers to seize the throne of the sons and ministers, and depose the sons and ministers as well as the mother and concubine as ordinary people." The emperor's wife said That’s right, as long as you’re alive, there’s hope…”

Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, glanced at me, then turned to me and said angrily: "Could it be that you deliberately lured my son back to ruin his future? Could it be that you want to sacrifice my son to Feibai so that he can be killed?" said Then he swung his armor to stab me. Fortunately, Jinxiu is still sick and has little strength. I just feel sad and don't argue with her. I just hold her tightly and say softly: "You're thinking again. You're still sick, wait until you recover The body, everything is considered in the long run." "Mother, don't blame the emperor's sister-in-law. It was the emperor's wife's dark man who saved me. Otherwise, I would either die from the arrows of the army or be eaten by wild animals." Feiliu quickly grabbed Jinxiu, kowtowed to her desperately, with tears in his eyes Said: "The reason why I decided to come back is because before my father passed away, my son secretly read the will, and my father never thought of making me the crown prince, but I just deliberately used my son to provoke the third brother." .And the minister secretly heard from the father and the courtiers that even if you want to establish a son, you must first give your mother and then be buried, so that you can rest assured to establish a son."

Feiliu said softly: "If I want my minister to watch my mother die before my eyes, I would rather not have this throne." Jinxiu's cheeks suddenly flushed abnormally, with astonishing strength, she swung the armor of her right hand vigorously, cut my arm, blood flowed, and pushed me far away.She brushed Chuxi away again, took a gold-plated phoenix candlestick and threw it at Feiliu, yelling loudly: "You useless idiot, you only care about affection, you have a use for your ass! Who wants you to come back, you You know, I just want you to ascend to the throne..." If you don't hide, you won't hide. When you hit your forehead, blood can't help flowing.Chuxi hurried forward and pressed Feiliu's forehead with his sleeve, choked up and said, "Please calm down, master, and please talk to the prince more, otherwise there will be no time."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jinxiu shouted coldly. "The emperor ordered the prince to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor, and he will leave soon." Chuxi wiped his tears and said, "It is the grace that the queen empress invited for the prince, and I bid farewell to the master." "Qin Ling is a long way away, cold in winter and hot in summer," Jinxiu said angrily, "My son is young, and he was well-clothed and well-fed, how can he bear this kind of hardship? Is he trying to force my son to death?" "Emperor and noble concubine be careful," I got up and hugged Jinxiu again, "We are saving him. The meaning of filial piety by the King of Hanzhong must be passed on to the world. If anyone takes advantage of this to harm him, he will be a sinner forever." I pinched her hard, and she suddenly calmed down, Zitong looked at me blankly, as if she was bullied when she was a child, but she didn't know how to explain.In an instant, I felt so uncomfortable in my heart, tears filled my eyes, I just gritted my teeth and said firmly: "Jinxiu, just trust me once." When the Western clock reached three o'clock, the chief supervisor Feng Weicong came over and announced coldly: "The time has come, please go on the road, the King of Hanzhong." Seeing the moment of parting, there was a trace of panic in Jinxiu's eyes, she opened her mouth to speak, and couldn't help but shed tears. Feiliu kowtowed to Jinxiu again, and said with a loud smile, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will go to guard the mausoleum for my father, bid farewell to Queen Mother, and hope that Queen Mother will cherish you." Jinxiu wanted to chase her out, but she didn't have the strength, so she leaned on my body and came to the courtyard, choked up and called, "Jing'er." I said to Feng Weicong: "I would like to ask Mr. Feng to wait a while, it will be fine in a moment." Feng Weicong said with a flattering smile: "But according to your mother's order, it's just the emperor said." Chu Xi glanced at Chu Xi who was carrying a bundle and raised his head, "Your Highness, go to the late emperor to pay filial piety. You have already selected the best slaves, and what else is there?" All the utensils are ready, Your Highness doesn't need to bring many things, Chu Xi should put them down." More than ten days ago, Feng Weicong had to nod and bow when he saw Chu Xi, the girl was long and the girl was short, but now he dared to call Chu Xi by his name, but Chu Xi dared not speak out, so he could only swallow his anger and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Feng, for your guidance. " I was also very displeased, and said with a frown: "His Royal Highness suddenly returned to the palace, and it has to be far away. Mother and son share it in an instant. The so-called loving mother has a line in her hand, and the clothes on the wandering child. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me. Let Your Highness bring some clothes." .” Feng Weicong's face twitched for a while, and he squeezed a smile and said: "Well, the emperor has orders, indeed, the empress is very reasonable, but the emperor asked the servants to strictly inspect the accompanying, can you let the servants inspect casually so as to facilitate business?" I just nodded in agreement.Feng Weicong didn't want to, but he carefully inspected it, leaving only some winter clothes and underwear to keep out the cold, and all other daily valuables were removed. I nodded slightly to Chu Xi, meaning don't worry, I will take care of it myself, Chu Xi's brows relaxed, and I just gave Feng Weicong a cold look. Feiliu took the bag as thin as him from Feng Weicong's hand, thanked him politely, turned his head and left.Jinxiu's heart was broken, she stumbled and chased her out, tears streaming down the floor.Chuxi and I quickly supported her and chased her out. Seeing this, Feiliu flew back again, knelt down on Jinxiu feet, hugging her legs tightly, her small body trembling.With tears streaming down her face, Jinxiu caressed Feiliu with her slender hand. After thinking for a while, she took off the three precious enamel armors left on her hands with difficulty and stuffed them in Feiliu's hands, "Jing'er, the concubine mother likes it." It's just... watching you smile at the concubine mother..." Hearing this, I recalled the conversation when I broke up with Jinxiu that year, and I couldn't help but be filled with emotion and burst into tears. When Feiliu raised his head again, a cute smile appeared on his tear-filled little face. He wiped away the tears and said firmly: "My son heard that when the emperor was ten years old, he was murdered by a traitor. With a broken leg, even though he was trampled by villains, he has a lofty heart and is brave enough to become the emperor of Dayuan. The son is also ten years old. Since he also has the noble blood of Yuan Gao, the son can live well. The queen mother has done a lot for the son, and now it is the son to protect the mother. The son thought about it, the emperor's sister-in-law was right, now that the jade seal has been handed over, and the son has asked himself to guard the mausoleum of the first emperor, brother If you want to keep the reputation of filial piety in the world, you will definitely not harm our mother and son. Now, as long as the mother and queen take care of the body and live well...as long as you live well, there will be a day...the day when I will reunite with Erchen, and Erchen will also be the last I like it, I like seeing the concubine mother smile the most." Feiliu smiled at us again, straightened his spine, turned and left.Jinxiu watched Feiliu's small body disappearing before her eyes, slumped on top of me, and burst into tears. In the fifth year of Yuanchang, on the first day of Guihai, the new emperor held a grand enthronement ceremony. At that time, the Yuande Army led by the Swallow Army made outstanding achievements, and most of the dead soldiers died here. Yuande, so Feibai is also known as Emperor Yuande in history, and the temple name is Shizu.The world was first determined, the new emperor was generous and benevolent, and he amnesty the Chongyuan Palace for rebelling against the remaining party. At the beginning of February of the first year of Yuande, the new emperor named Hua, the adopted daughter of the crown prince's concubine Xuanyuan, as the queen, and bestowed the title Duanshu Zhenjing, known as Queen Zhenjing in history.Empress Zhenjing announced the new policy, amnesty for one thousand old palace maids to leave the palace, and changed the ten-year period of the court ladies to five-year period, in order to show generosity and virtue, and to allow it. Taizu originally intended for the burial of imperial concubines and other concubines. Emperor Yuande was very lenient and abolished the ancient system of burial for empresses and concubines, proclaiming the decree: "Employing human beings for burial is something that the first emperor and Taizu couldn't bear. " Just follow the example of the First Emperor and bury him with a pottery man, and everyone in the world is happy for a while. On the second day of February, the third prince Feiliu invited himself to move to the Qin Mausoleum to guard the late emperor's mausoleum at a young age. His mother also invited her to Famen Temple to lead a spiritual practice and pray for the late emperor. When I was outing in the spring half of the South Garden, I could hear the horse neighing in the wind. Green plums are like beans and willows are like eyebrows, and the days are long and butterflies fly. After the spring equinox, Empress Dowager Xuanyuan's temperament was out of harmony and she couldn't get out of bed. Emperor Yuande specially allowed the Empress Dowager to return to King Xingqing's fief Qingzhou to recuperate from her illness. King Xingqing thanked her for her kindness.However, his illness worsened in April, and he passed away on the seventh day of the lunar month. Everyone at that time felt pity for the benevolence of the Empress Dowager. During his lifetime, he devoted himself to the peace between the old Xuanyuan clan and the Yuan clan. Emperor Yuande bestowed the posthumous title Lianyi Gongren Xiaojie Empress Dowager, and set up a shrine for future generations to look up to. On April 26th, the Grain of Grass Festival is not yet in time, and people all over the world are still customary, setting up various gifts and offering sacrifices to the God of Flowers, saying that once the Grain of Grass is over, it will be summer, and all the flowers will wither, and the God of Flowers will abdicate, and a farewell party is required. The imperial concubine chose this day, and together with thirty-five concubines, old and new, of the previous emperors, they set off for Famen Temple. It was drizzling that day, before boarding the boat on the edge of the Weishui River, she held my hand and didn't let go, just looked at me without saying a word. I patted her hand and smiled at her: "Sister, don't worry, I will come to see you often. Although Feiliu is far away, don't worry, I will take care of him, I just hope you can meet again soon." Jinxiu hesitated to speak, she just hugged me lightly, rubbed my shoulder, turned her face slightly, and whispered three words in her ear: "Chen Yujiao." I was slightly surprised, but she let me go slowly and stopped looking at me.The silk cuffs embroidered with lotus patterns brushed my face, and Du Ruo's fragrance rushed straight into my nostrils, I was slightly dizzy, and when I woke up, Jinxiu had already boarded the boat. Chu Xi specially received the decree of grace, and led a few courtiers to bid farewell to Jinxiu. There was also a light-footed man with a stern face, who should be her old warrior. Chu Xi burst into tears, and shouted across the river: "Master, take care." Chuxi and the others chased along the bank of the Weihe River for a long time, just like when we left Huajia Village when we were young, Rhubarb chased our ox cart for a long, long time. An ancient song floated to my ear, like weeping and complaining.When I turned around, I saw an Angzang man with a scar on his face, playing a bamboo flute.I recognized it, it was "Zheyang Willow", and there was a child wearing a mask standing beside it. I was a little surprised, but I still listened quietly to Sima Yun's sad and bleak song. When the song ended, I looked at the beautiful boat and said softly, "Thank you for coming to see her off." Sima Yun didn't speak, but held the flute in both hands, looking at Jinxiu standing like a clay sculpture on the bow of the boat with no sorrow or joy. Under the mask, Xiao Yu suddenly made a low-pitched sound like a kitten.I knelt down and gently lifted his little mask... That was the first time I saw Xiao Yu's face... But Xiao Yu, like Sima Yun, had a scar on his brow.Even with such a terrible scar, it still couldn't hide his handsome appearance, which was almost exactly the same as Feiliu's, as well as those brilliant purple pupils.At this moment, those brilliant purple pupils were streaming tears. An arrow in the shade of the window breaks a thousand mountains in a dream, The double brilliance building is empty, only the fragrance of the remaining incense sticks. I understood everything, and I hugged Xiao Yu tightly, I leaned on her shoulder and choked up and said, "Xiao Yu, don't cry, I have my aunt to accompany you, mother will definitely come back." Yiye Huafang drifted farther and farther in the Weishui, Jinxiu was independent of the bow of the boat, her white hair was fluttering in the wind, covering her lifeless face.Maybe it was too far away, she couldn't see Xiao Yu's face, her purple pupils were exhausted and without any emotion, looking at me so dull and lifeless, and gradually disappeared into the blue sky. I don't know what Sima Yun was thinking, all I know is that he silently stood there with his arms crossed, watching Jinxiu disappear without saying a word, and silently wiped his face for Xiao Yu who was weeping with tears. He put on the mask again, then picked it up, and left me without looking back, like a gust of wind, or as if he had never brought Xiaoyu to send Jinxiu, or there was no one named Sima in the world A sudden person is just an erratic ghost. On the other side of the Weihe River is a large piece of farmland that has just been reclaimed. The dark land is lush with greenery. It is the new emperor who amnesties the world. He specially took back a piece of manor that the imperial concubine wanted to be bestowed by the late emperor to the Duke of Yongding, and converted it into a public land. Give the refugees to cultivate the wilderness.Those refugees who have survived all these hardships finally have their own land and residences, and are hurrying to plant the last wave of wheat this year. Occasionally, some curious people look at us from a distance with their hands on awnings, and then more It's pouting buttocks, working hard, and the royal family's disputes seem to be far away from them. In the end, Jinxiu followed God to the other side of the bank, and Chuxi, who was immersed in sadness, gradually became louder in crying, as if Dahuang stopped in the end and looked up to the sky and screamed in mourning. The cold fragrance lingers all over the dream of Ziqi, and the dream of the city. The mountains and rivers are everywhere, when will you be rich and prosperous? Who can play the drum after the konghou farewell, the heart will break the end of the world. Donggui people go, a wisp of tea smoke penetrates Bimiao.
