Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0058 Conceited in the clouds and falling into the dirt, empty and sad, the king is invincible

"Your majesty, you can't kill slaves!" She might be lying, but Lan Duan knew that if she didn't go all out at this moment, she would have no future.When these words came out, it really attracted the emperor's attention.She didn't even have time to carefully discern the emotion in his eyes, she bit the bullet and mustered up the courage to kowtow to him.

"This servant is from the Yi family in Xingyang. Her original surname is Yi, and her nickname is Yun. My father is the cousin of the Empress Dowager's family. To be honest, the servant has to be the grandmother of the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, just look at the face of the Empress Dowager. You can't kill slaves either!"

What I said was full of twists and turns. If I didn't listen carefully, I wouldn't be able to understand the complicated relationship here.Xi Shiyue thought to himself, no wonder this hoof is so confident, it turned out to be waiting here.It's hard to blame the Empress Dowager, the relatives of the Empress Dowager are withered, it must be so carefully selected to find such a one.

Lan Duan was destined to die, but now that he has such a heavy identity, he can't be sure.The emperor is filial and cares about the face of the empress dowager, so it is not certain that she will be saved.

Xi Shiyue was guessing endlessly, the emperor's side finally spoke, his voice was slow, and it sounded like he was letting go: "The empress dowager's face?"

Lan Duan obviously thinks so too, saying that filial piety is the rule of the world today, but whenever the Empress Dowager is involved, she will always be lenient.This is her real life-saving talisman, much more precious than the Empress Dowager Dong's.Almost the moment the emperor spoke, the gentle voice let her breathe a sigh of relief.

She raised her face, not concealing her excitement and longing: "Before entering the palace, my father told me that I would pay my respects to the Empress Dowager when I have the opportunity. The ancestors have not seen their descendants for many years, so we must do our best to show our filial piety."

"Young generation? Filial piety? What are you, dare to discredit your ancestors?" The emperor's words were like cold water being poured on an icicle in the middle of winter, so cold that there was no limit.It was easy to smash Lan Duan's self-satisfaction into pieces: "There are clansmen like you, so the empress dowager is not honored. You can send it up yourself today, saving me a lot of work!"

The emperor had long disliked the members of the Yi clan, they were like a group of endless leeches.I forgot all about the harsh treatment of the empress dowager back then, and seeing her become the empress and empress dowager, they swarmed up to suck blood.This palace maid actually dared to use the reminder as an arrow, he really didn't dare to kill her.

The emperor looked at her coldly, and called Xi Shiyue in his mouth: "Since she is a member of the empress dowager's family, the death penalty is inevitable, but the living penalty is inevitable. Lan Xu will be killed immediately, as for this Lan Duan..."

Lan Duan escaped the death penalty, but he couldn't be happy.The emperor's gaze made her feel like a pain in her back, and the unconcealable malice and loathing felt uncomfortable like needles.She swallowed her saliva, and finally tasted a bit of despair mixed with horror.

"Reward her with a pot of oil, and then drive her out of the palace. Three generations of the whole family are not allowed to be officials, and they are not allowed to set foot in the capital!"

"Your Majesty!" Lan Duan uttered a shrill cry, and rushed over, but Xi Shiyue stopped him without touching the corner of the emperor's clothes.She struggled and shouted: "You can't do this! You can't! If you are not allowed to be an official or enter the capital, the Yi family will be ruined from then on. Isn't the emperor afraid of the empress dowager's reprimand?"

She didn't understand what it meant to reward a pot of oil, but she understood how serious the latter words were.Being expelled from the palace is enough to make people laugh, but it also implicated the three clans and three generations and was not allowed to be an official or enter the capital.Then what hope does she have for living?From then on, the glory and wealth are all hopeless!

The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned his back to see her.Daiyu stood upside down and looked at it thoroughly from beginning to end.

Xi Shiyue grabbed Lan Duan almost as if he was picking up a chick, and sarcastically said: "You still have other thoughts, why don't you cry for yourself first, and then you won't even cry anymore?"

Can't cry?Daiyu thought of just now, the emperor said to reward her with a pot of oil.Think this oil is not an ordinary oil, but also a severe punishment?

The emperor spoke, and it was almost an instant to deal with the two court ladies.Daiyu lost her mind for a moment, and Lan Duan and Lan Xu were dragged away.Only Li Shunxiang was kneeling, trembling like chaff, and there was a faint pool of water stains on the ground, which proved that Lan Duan was still kneeling just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Daiyu felt that her body was soaked in cold, and she shivered involuntarily.

"Is it cold?" The emperor noticed that she was shaking, and turned his head to look.Seeing that she was stroking her arm, I knew she was cold.It's already May and I'm still so afraid of the cold, my body is really weak.

Daiyu said: "The night is getting dark, I should go back. Tomorrow I have to get up early and go home. I'm tired after a late rest."

She couldn't forget this one after all.The emperor was a little stunned, and then forced himself to smile, which inevitably revealed bitterness.

"I'll take you out."

In the middle of the night, asking the emperor to send him back to Qiuhong Palace?Then there is no need for others to spread the word, it doesn't make sense for her to have a long mouth all over her body.

"The chariot sedan is just outside the auspicious gate, just go out."

"Then I'll take you to the auspicious gate." The emperor walked a few steps quickly, and looked back at her when he reached the gate of Qianyuan Zishi.This look reveals his endless loss and sadness, and he can only look at others in such a humble way.He was really afraid that from now on, he would not even have the right to look at her like this.

He moved his lips, and his plump and bright lips were like petals that withered quickly, turning into dried leaves: "Isn't it enough to just leave such a little thought?"

Daiyu stood there for a moment, but finally followed his footsteps.The auspicious gate is not too far from the apse, and if you walk carefully, it will take enough time for a stick of incense.However, the emperor slowed down for selfish reasons, wishing he could go slower and slower, even if this road had no end, he was willing to walk on with her like this.As they walk, they grow old.

On this road walking side by side, he is not the emperor, nor is she the county lord.How much he wanted to be Murong Yongxuan and listen to her call Shiyan.How much I hope that those joys and jumps are not only for me, she can also wear moonlight and lean on his shoulders.

No matter how unwilling, there is always an end to a road.Just like a dream, no matter how sweet it is, it will always wake up.Daiyu walked with him all the way without saying a word, but her heart became more and more heavy.Seeing the auspicious gate arrived, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just about to bow his knees to say goodbye, he bumped into the emperor's eyes.He has always been proud and conceited, like the rising sun that never sets.But at this moment, those eyes that are always bright and sharp are filled with broken moonlight.Flickering, almost streaming.

"emperor……"

"I want to say, don't go. The Forbidden City is boundless. Sometimes I feel lonely when I sit in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Would you like to stay with me? I beg you, don't leave in a hurry. Give me more Time, I will treat you well. I will also deal with these things in the palace, and will never trouble you. You just need to sit in Kunyi Palace and smile at me, and I will be happy to see you."

These were the words I wanted to say when I was in Xishao, but I was interrupted twice, but I finally said it.

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, "Your Majesty shouldn't have said these things."

"Then what should the emperor say?"

"The emperor should sit in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to bring order out of the chaos, and clear up the turbidity." No matter what you do, it shouldn't be a love affair.

What she wanted to say, the emperor had already guessed.There will be no results if he says these words, and he has already understood.But he still wanted to say it.

"I don't want a result when I say these words. I just want to tell you that I am a person and this affection is genuine, and there is no trace of falsehood. Whether you don't want it or hate it, the heart I hold is true .”

The moonlight is like water, covering everything in the world with a veil.In the gentle moonlight, all emotions are covered with warm clothes, and beauty is beautiful, but it is fleeting.Daiyu looked at the moon for a long time, the middle of the moon was approaching, the waning moon would be full, she looked like a white jade plate.

"It's late at night, the emperor should go back." Thousands of words were condensed into one sentence at the end.It is too light and too floating, and it will be scattered when the wind blows.

The emperor watched Daiyu get into the sedan chair, and Night Breeze also seemed to be attached to her, leaving a light and timeless fragrance around the corner of her clothes.He wanted to catch this wisp of breath, but he couldn't keep it, and finally let it dissipate quietly.

Back at Qiuhong Hall, Daiyu sat by the window for a moment, then asked Lanling and others to pack up.

Lan Liu said: "It's too late today, what the county lord wants, the servant will find out tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Daiyu laughed and said, "I'm not looking for something. I packed it up and put it in a cage. I'll go home tomorrow."

"But..." Lan Liu still wanted to speak, but Lan Ling pulled his sleeve to stop him.

Pulling her outside, Lan Ling said: "You can do whatever the county lord tells you."

Lan Liu was confused: "Why did you go back suddenly? The county lord has gone back. What about us? Go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Lan Ling shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess I'm going back." As he said that, he told her about the disposal of Lan Xu and Lan Duan today: "I went to two more, and now the county The main family has gone, so we have to go back and make up for it.”

"How do you say that, alright, they don't want to die anymore?" It was really eye-opening that Yuqian had such a bold court lady. "Lan Duan is really rewarded?"

"It's still a lie, the emperor ordered it himself." Lan Ling also seemed to be afraid, with goose bumps all over his body: "If you pour a pot of hot oil, you will die if you don't die. It would be more enjoyable to die with a stick. If I were Lan Duan, I might as well touch my head to death."

Reward oil is a unique punishment in the inner court, and it is specially punished for those slaves who can't control their tongues to spread their words.A whole pot of boiling hot oil was poured directly into the throat, and the mouth was immediately useless.If you take myrrh, you will have to suffer from festering and rotting.Although the emperor was strict, he was not a cruel person.Today's order shows that Lan Duan is hated by many people.

"Where's Manager Li? He was let go like this?" Lan Liu shuddered, and asked Li Shunxiang another question: "He has the worst heart, why don't you deal with him first?"

Disposal is of course to be dealt with, Li Shunxiang is a person close to the emperor, if such a big mess is made, the emperor's hatred will only deepen.

The emperor sent Daiyu off for more than half an hour, and when he returned to Qianyuan Zishi, Li Shunxiang was still kneeling.Most of the clothes were soaked with sweat, and the whole body seemed to be wrung out of the water.

The emperor did not soften his heart towards such a chief executive who had served him for many years.He didn't intend to save face for him, so he immediately asked, "How long have you been sending messages to Kunyi Palace and Chuxiu Palace?"
