Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

He stepped towards me step by step, the burning fire behind him cast a thick shadow on his face, but I clearly saw that those eyes flashed in the shadow, like a hunting black panther, Approach your prey step by step.

The bloodthirsty eyes seemed to swallow me.

Just before he was about to walk in front of me, suddenly, a messenger ran quickly, and when he saw Pei Yuanzhang grasping the reins immediately, he turned over and ran and ran over, "His Royal Highness!"

Pei Yuanzhang's gaze flashed, and the bloodthirsty eyes converged immediately, turning to look at him: "Huh?"

"Nine gates ..."

The commander's voice was getting weaker and weaker. The last few words were spoken by the ears. When he finished, Pei Yuanzhang's eyes burst into light, saying, "What else did he say?"

"Master Yang said, what's next, please ask His Royal Highness to decide, but-the opportunity is not lost!"

Pei Yuanzhang did not speak, but was silent, then immediately turned around and shouted to the people around him: "Go on, go back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Everyone seemed to realize what was happening, and they were all very excited. They hurriedly turned over their horses. When a long-bringer dragged his horse over, Pei Yuanzhang was about to get on the horse and suddenly remembered something and looked back at me.

I was still standing by Yao Yingxue's body, and my shoes were red with blood.

The expression on his face was a little cloudy for a while, as if he didn't know what to do with me, but just a moment, he said to me in a deep voice: "You just stay here, you can't go anywhere!"

After that, he winked at him from side to side.

When he was done with my affairs, the people and horses around him could not hold back. He raised his hand and said, "Go!" The people around him responded loudly, and all of them turned to the other side of the long street. , The direction of the palace was galloping away.

Soon, the dust raised by the horse's hoof slowly fell, and Qian Wu and Mo Tieyi were left here, facing the surrounding corpses, and the fire in the other garden. We couldn't say a word, air. The scorching smell and the beeping sound from the flames made the whole street more silent.

This seems to be a nightmare.

I slowly crouched down and looked at Yao Yingxue. She was lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were not closed, as if she still wanted to see that person's figure, but he just turned away and didn't look back, this was for himself The woman who broke her body; the woman who betrayed him, but cut off her heart to him; the woman who gave birth to him, died, and did not even get a little more of his eyes.

I reached out my trembling hand and closed her eyes lightly-I hope you will never be wrong.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in front.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a familiar figure walking slowly through the deep night.

Under the fire, his face was as pale as death. The whole person seemed to be very cold. As soon as Qian Wu saw him, they immediately stepped forward: "Brother, you are here, you see--"

Before they finished speaking, Huang Tianba waved his hand gently: "I know everything."

"Pei Yuanzhang he turned around, he turned out to be such a poisonous hand, we-we were used by him!"

Huang Tianba's face turned paler. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Our people have already arrived at Ximen, and you should hurry up to get out of the city overnight."

"but--"

The two of them seemed to want to say something, Huang Tianba said lightly: "Yao Lao is here too. Don't you want to see him?"

As soon as Qian Wu heard Yao Lao's name, the eyes of both of them turned on, and they stopped talking, and immediately turned away.

When they left, only Huang Tianba and I were left on the long street. I slowly stood up and watched him stand at the gate of Beiyuan, facing the fire inside, and the flames reflected in his eyes. It seemed as if his eyes were burning.

I walked to him: "Huang Ye ..."

What he wanted to say, but suddenly choked and couldn't speak, Huang Tianba looked inside, and after a long while, said softly, "He is also inside?"

"……Yes."

"left already?"

"Yes, it's gone."

"Are you in pain?"

"..." I thought for a long time, and said gently: "He was penetrated by a single arrow and walked very quickly without feeling any pain."

"Is it……"

Huang Tianba looked inside blankly, and for a while I couldn't tell what kind of expression was in his eyes, so I sent the tube to his eyes: "But I saw this on the side of the road, Huang Ye You-if you want to stay, remember it; if you don't want to stay, someone will dispose of it. "

Huang Tianba slowly turned his head to look at the jade flute in my hand, and then I saw that his eyes were already red.

It took a long time before he reached out and took the jade flute.

I looked at him with a choked voice: "Huang Ye, are we all wrong?"

"Perhaps, we are indeed wrong," his voice was very low, and there was an indescribable husky, but he was always suppressed. "But I hope that in the eyes of the world, we are not wrong."

In the eyes of the world.

Yes, he will help Pei Yuanzhang, not from the beginning to the end, but for the people in the south, and for the emperor who may benefit the people in the south in the future, so he is willing to pay no matter the price.

At this time, Huang Tianba took out a piece of paper and handed it to me. I took it and looked at him with some confusion. He said, "I took Mu Hua to the emperor for a vein diagnosis. This is a prescription she prescribed. To Pei Yuanzhang, if-if he can use it. "

After hearing the last sentence, my heart sank a bit: "You mean--"

Huang Tianba glanced at me and said, "Do you know what's going on in the Imperial City now?"

"I guess Yang Yunhui has taken nine gates with the guards."

"Since winning nine gates, do you think Pei Yuanzhang will stop here?"

I was startled, immediately understood, and stared at him with wide eyes: "He's back now--"

Force the palace and take the throne!

But— "But the imperial edict of the emperor is to be passed on to the eldest son of the emperor!"

Huang Tianba sneered, "What kind of person is he? You know better than me."

Yes, who is Pei Yuanzhang? He is an unscrupulous person. He won the favor of Huang Tianba in Jiangnan, used me to poison Pei Yuanfeng, and used Pei Yuanchen to remove Pei Yuanchen. After nine gates, what he believes will be done absolutely. At this stage, he will never give in again!

In other words, the imperial edict to be passed on to the emperor's eldest son is nothing more than a piece of paper.

but--

Thinking of this, I looked up at Huang Tianba and asked, "Huang Ye, the person Yao Yao is looking for, is it the eldest son of the emperor?"

He glanced at me, but it was not surprising: "How do you know?"

"In the prison at the beginning, you told him so, but he refused to leave, but just now you said that Yao Lao was ready to leave the city at Ximen, that is, he already knew that the person he was looking for was not in the Imperial City, and Tonight, the imperial edict left by the emperor has just been discovered. The imperial edict says that there are six quests to find the eldest son of the emperor. "

Huang Tianba smiled slightly: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you."

I said, "But I didn't just guess this."

"Oh? When did you know?"

I turned to look at the scorched earth courtyard in Huohaizhong, and said, "I knew that this garden was actually the old house of the queen."

All this would not be so coincidental. The painting hanging in the emperor's Yonghe Palace is the scenery here, and Huang Tianba came to Beijing and lived directly in this garden; I remember when in the south of the river, Pei Yuanzhang received On the secret key, the emperor once revealed that the people returning to the pharmacy had a close relationship with him, and even asked Pei Yuanzhang to "not add swordsmen".

The signs only show one thing-the group of Huisheng Medicine Shop has a special relationship with the Empress!

Therefore, the emperor would rather let Pei Yuanzhang be merciful to their men and never hurt any of them.

"Master Huang, what do you have to do with the Empress?"

"Qingying, have you forgotten what I told you?"

By the way, he keeps reminding me that the less you know, the easier it will be to get out in the future.

Huang Tianba whispered again, "Pei Yuanzhang didn't know about this. I hope that if you really stay with him, it's better to never mention it."

It turned out that Pei Yuanzhang didn't know that this other garden belonged to them. It seems that few people know about this matter.

I nodded. "Okay."

When I finished this sentence, Huang Tianba frowned instead: "Do you really want to stay with him?"

I was stunned by him. Of course I didn't want to stay with Pei Yuanzhang, but I can't leave now, because he promised me, and when everything is over, he will give me an amnesty, and at that time I will be able to break away from slavery. As a result, he left here with great respect.

I said, "I have an agreement with him."

As soon as Huang Tianba heard it, he frowned slightly at me, as if he had something to say, but after all, he didn't say it, and I was thinking about another thing, and asked him, "Huang Ye, you Think he can really succeed? "

"I don't know. If others, I might be able to guess the ending. But his opponent is Prince Pei Yuanxiu, I can't guess."

"You can't guess Pei Yuanxiu?" Isn't he a very simple person?

Huang Tianba said lightly: "I have never seen two people in the royal family. One is Pei Yuanzhang. I can't see where his bottom line is, and the other is Pei Yuanxiu."

"What do you see through him?"

Huang Tianba glanced at me and said, "Green baby, if a mystery is hidden in the layers of mist, you can look away from the mist, but if a mystery is transparent, how do you find it?"

"..."

"Pei Yuanxiu is such a person. I can't see Pei Yuanxuan's bottom line, but I can't even see what kind of person Pei Yuanxiu is. Therefore, the victory and defeat between them will not be reached when the conclusion is made. Also foreseeable. "

I was grilled by the hot flame in front of me, but suddenly I felt cold all over.

Is Huang Tianba's statement true?

But Pei Yuanxiu, the man who reads the books with a smile in the cabinet, the man who reached out to me while the assassin was serving him, the man who said to me, "I never treat you as a slave", he was really like Is Huang Tianba saying that it is an invisible mystery?

When I was stunned, Huang Tianba called me: "Green baby ..."

"Ok?"

"Would you like to follow me?"
