Love Like the Galaxy - Chapter 136

    Shao Shang felt as if he had been put into a huge and heavy stone mill. With the rotation of the vertical shaft and the grinding disc, the upper and lower grinding teeth clacked and rolled, like a forest in the mouth of a giant beast Teeth shattered her bones; she felt as if she was in a charcoal pit, and her flesh and bones were repeatedly roasted with skewers. Just like this, she seemed to be writhing and struggling in the boundless **** for a long time, until it seemed like there was no end, and then she would wake up.

    It was still dark outside, was it the same night, or did she sleep all day and then fall into the night again?

    In the dull visual perception, she saw Alime crying and calling the maids to wrap her wounds and change clothes, feed her water and deliver medicine; then her hearing gradually recovered, and she heard the fierce quarrel outside, the male The old and young, the familiar, the unfamiliar… There were many voices, the light of lanterns and torches swayed mottledly, and among them was the sound of Jin Ge clashing.

    Shao Shang flinched, she was afraid of the voice.

    Last night’s scenes flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, galloping horses, golden halberds, the moonlight on the hillside, the thunderous shouts of hundreds of soldiers, and the wind swept the crimson blood-like robes on his body , the dark golden embroidered pattern seemed to come alive – he faced the cold wind and went forward, vigorous and decisive, and never looked back.

    Seeing this, Ah Li immediately dragged the cloak up and took it away, but she might as well hold the fur fur with the girl’s fingers like iron wires, and she did not dare to pull hard, because the girl His fingers were scarred, eight out of ten were wrapped in gauze.

    Mrs. Xiao screamed loudly from outside: “… Third Highness, please respect yourself, although you are from a noble background, but there is a little girl’s bedroom inside, how can you break in!” The roar, also has the same meaning.

    The three princes should have come with fully armed soldiers, but there is no corresponding decree, so Cheng Shi and his wife will resist until now.

      Bumping away – the cold wind of the cold night poured in unscrupulously, hula-la rushing into the medicinal and **** smell of the scattered living room.

    The three princes were dressed in neat generals’ attire, dusty face, messy hair, crooked golden crown, straight boots full of mud, as if he had driven a lot – he was standing in the inner bed at this time, He was staring angrily at the girl with drooping hair sitting on the edge of the couch, and the four guards surrounding him all had swords drawn out of their scabbards, with a fierce aura.

    The maids in the house were frightened and fled, or hid behind the screen, or huddled in the corner of the house, and Ah Li supported her trembling body in front of the couch. In the room, only Shao Shang sat motionless on the edge of the couch, with Lotus and Sang Guo curled up at her feet.

    “…Is he dead?” Shaoshang looked up at him, and at the same time heard his hoarse and dry voice.

    The third prince took a step forward, his eyes were full of anger: “You still have the face to ask! Because of his infatuation with you, you actually went to sue him without mercy, you cold and selfish **** people!”

     Shao Shang tilted his head slightly: “I have stepped on that hillside before, the cliff below is not high, and there are many crooked neck pine trees on the cliff. The last time Xiaoyue Mountain was as bare On the cliff, he could take me to the ground safely, this time…” She shook her head slowly, “It’s hard to say, he was injured, and his skills may not be as neat as usual.”

    The third prince’s chest was surging, wishing he could strangle this cunning and ruthless girl to death.

    Shao Shang raised his head again, his tone exhausted: “His Royal Highness entered the Cheng Palace today, not only to scold me. Your Highness might as well pick up the important thing and say… Is he still alive?”

    The third prince took a deep breath: “Alive. Chen Anguo asked Hu Benjun to hang down the rope to check. He is now in a narrow cave at the bottom of the cliff, unable to move.”

    Shao Shang heard the meaning of the words and asked, “Why don’t you pull him up and heal him.”

    The third prince roared unbearably: “Because the cave is rugged, it is easy to roll in and out, and he is seriously injured, so he cannot be directly pulled by the rope, and a large number of people must be sent to dig the cave. Slowly bring it up! But he committed heinous crimes last night, murdering his father, tricking soldiers, and arrogance… I was almost shocked that the two camps with heavy troops were in chaos! Now the government and the opposition are shaking, and this morning, 18 high-ranking officials jointly impeached , to put him to death!”

    Shao Shang looked at the third prince in a daze: “Yes, he is still at the bottom of the cliff, no one dares to lift him up, right?”

      !”

      “

    The third prince choked.

    “From the moment I knew Ling Yi was going to celebrate his birthday in a courtyard outside the city, I knew what he was going to do. Killing his biological father, privately transferring the army, what happened last night couldn’t be better, even if He got what he wanted, and what will happen?”

    Shao Shang met the eyes of the third prince, and the wound on his back began to hurt.

    “Either run away or stay.” She said slowly, “But there is no king in the world, where can he escape? Should he defect to Shu, or go to Mobei to rely on Di? People? Or is he hiding his name in the mountains and fields, hoping that His Majesty will accomplish great things in a hundred years, so that he can come out again?”

    The girl’s eyes were bleak and clear, and the three princes couldn’t look at each other.

    “His Royal Highness knows his character better than I do, and he will not be willing to live in hiding and concealment. He would rather die than be willing.”

    The third prince released his palm, put the girl back on the couch, and walked away two steps.

    The third prince turned his head suddenly and said sarcastically: “You are as good as God, you know everything!”

    Shao Shang looked up and said, “I know, because he doesn’t want me to be frightened.”

    The third prince turned his head angrily and said nothing.

    “Since he is going to be imprisoned for his crimes, the less he does some things, the better.”

    Shao Shang was a little exhausted and couldn’t help gasping, “I specially asked General Chen of the Hu Ben Army to inform His Majesty, thinking that he has always been friendly with us, and he will always keep a three-point relationship. Who knows… who is that Qing Jia general?”

    “That person is as famous as Chen Anguo. Three years ago, he thought that the emperor would give Yulin to him, but who knew that the emperor gave it to Zisheng! You don’t need to worry about it, I will take care of him in the future. !” The third prince clenched his fists in anger, and then turned back to stare at the girl, “Don’t be so righteous, if he dies, it’s all your fault!”

    Shao Shang said in a low voice, “If he dies, I will die. Will your Highness be satisfied?”

    The third prince did not speak, and continued to stare at her.

    Shao Shang said: “Actually, it’s all my fault, it’s not true. The third highness is so anxious tonight, I’m afraid I also feel guilty. In fact, I have three words to ask your highness last night. .”

    The third prince put his hands on his back and his expression was cold: “What three words.”

    “First, is the water in Dongbai Cemetery cold? Second, is the scenery of Yanhui Pagoda good? Third, are you tired of pretending for so many years?”

    The face of the third prince changed: “You all know?”

    The young merchant held Alime’s hand and stood up with difficulty like an old woman in her seventies and eighties: “These words might as well be said on the way – in fact, if the Third Highness does not come, I also want to enter the palace. Now please Introduce the concubine to change clothes and freshen up, Your Highness might as well tidy up under the house, after a while, it will be disrespectful to dress untidy…”

    The third prince stared at her for a long time, and said word by word: “If you can defend him properly, I will not care about you! It will take your life!”

    …

    On the cold and empty streets in the middle of the night, a group of army armored guards rode silently, with dull hoofs treading on the bluestone slab, and a circle was vacated by a carriage surrounded by them. There was only one person left behind on horseback – Shao Shang, wrapped in velvety fur, opened the car window to talk to the third prince outside.

    “He once said casually that the prince rescued him from the freezing water, and he was grateful. I always felt that something was wrong with this – half of Tugaoshan has hot springs, even in the middle of winter. It’s still warm. Besides, where is your Majesty’s station, do you deliberately choose a place without hot springs? Then where did his words come from?”

    “Instead, it was the early spring of the year when Your Highness had a cold and high fever, and the water in the pond in Dongbai Cemetery was still hard to melt. Mr. Zisheng is 21 years old this year. After fleeing outside for two years, the Hof people became insane within a few months after returning. He was brought into the palace by His Majesty—just thirteen years ago, when he was about eight years old. Your Majesty, it was you who actually saved him, right? ?”

    The third prince was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, “You are right. When Zisheng first entered the palace, he was withdrawn and gregarious, and somehow ran to the unmanned pool, accidentally. He slid down, but fortunately he grabbed some dead grass on the shore. I was lonely and unsocial since I was a child, and I was hiding there quietly, and when I realized it, I went over and pulled him up.”

    “So your Highness’s clothes were half wet, so when you go back, you will have a cold and high fever.” Shao Shang nodded, “Since then you have been secretly communicating, so speaking, Your Highness was very young when he was young. Do you have big ambitions?”

      Sheng was raised in Changqiu Palace again, and he and I didn’t want to raise eyebrows, so we didn’t say anything about it.”

    “Is it a lie for the prince to save people from the water?” Shao Shang frowned.

    The third prince said: “Not long after Zisheng learned how to swim, he saw that the water in the high mountain pond was warm, so he practiced breath-holding in the water. Who knew that the prince thought he was drowning and could not help but ‘rescue’ him. After the father found out, he was very happy, and the subjects also passed it on as a good story, and they all praised the prince that he seemed weak, but he was actually courageous.

    Shao Shang secretly sighed. Many misunderstandings, just look beautiful.

    The third prince pondered for a moment, and simply admitted: “In the beginning, there was no waste storage… Maybe it was two or three years after the prince got married. Zisheng and I were only ten years old, and we were just dissatisfied with the crown princess. His mother’s family was doing something wrong in the capital. The prince didn’t know anything about it at first, and then we secretly arranged for the bitter master to sue the prince. Who knew that the Sun family was cunning and flattering. Go to the prince and find out the crime of the Sun family…”

    “Tsk tsk tsk.” Shao Shang shook his head again and again, “At that time, the reputation of the crown princess was very good, everyone praised ‘virtuous and decent, and the quality of the blue heart’, the crown prince may not be easy to handle. .”

    The third prince took a look at the girl in the car: “That’s right. Even after the crime is clear, the prince is still hesitant to do anything because of the princess’s cry and pleading – the crown princess is also a bloodbath, it is said that There was no fetus in the womb. In the end, it was the father and the emperor who took action, and drove the large group of fathers, brothers and relatives of the crown prince back to their origins.”

      Like the moon.

    “The common people are innocent and the people are pitiful. They only look forward to good weather and clear management of officials in their lives, so that they can have a family and a happy family. The government was greedy and tyrannical, and immediately the family was ruined. The Sun family was just an ordinary local family. Where did he see the style of the capital, he was overjoyed and didn’t know how to behave. From the father and the emperor rewarding the prince’s wife and his family to being expelled from the capital, it was just over two years. , there were dozens of households whose fields were occupied, and hundreds of people were made slaves… I remember a little girl, about the same age as you, who was snatched into the house by the prince’s younger brother. When the body was thrown out, there was not a single piece of flesh and blood Okay.” The third prince’s eyes were dark, and after so many years, he still couldn’t hide his anger.

     Shao Shang frowned: “Forget Wang Chun, is it possible that Shao Fu Loujing is doing the same thing?”

    The three princes showed a sarcastic smile: “In the early years of the previous dynasty, the ministers elected Emperor Wen to the throne, and a big reason was that Emperor Wen’s mother and wives were all poor and weak. The officials in the Eastern Palace can’t say they are still looking forward to the Sun family being demoted.”

    “The prince is also indifferent?”

    “Naturally not. The prince’s elder brother cried very sadly. He didn’t speak to the princess for three months, and even took a lot of money to the little girl’s family. Well, by the Sun family The people who were harmed by the scourge also received compensation later – as long as they were still alive.” The third prince mocked.

    Shao Shang stopped talking.

    “In order to take care of the crown prince’s face, the royal father could only quietly expel the Sun family from the capital, and then let the officials of their origin deal with them. Humph!” The third prince sneered again and again, “I don’t care about their intrigue. , you shouldn’t use innocent people as rafts!”

    Shao Shang whispered: “Your Highness, don’t be angry.”

    “I’m not angry.” The third prince said, “Because the Sun family encountered rocks and rocks on the narrow road on their way back to their hometown, causing many casualties, especially the two younger brothers of the Crown Princess, who were all killed. smashed to a pulp.”

    Shao Shang raised his head and glanced at the person who was looking at him immediately: “It’s really the sky that has eyes.”

    The third prince: “Yes, the sky has eyes… Well, don’t talk nonsense, it’s up to you.”

    Shao Shang sighed: “It’s not unusual to say it. Has Your Highness ever seen Lord Cui You’s family stunt ‘Swirling Yan’? Just a few tiptoes, you can fly into the air on a tree Circle around like a swallow.”

    “You heard it wrong, that stunt was not handed down from the Cui family. I heard my second uncle say that it was bought by Cui Hou’s father with a few hundred dollars from a ranger. Later, the ranger The child died of serious injuries, and the Cui family even organized a funeral.” The third prince seriously exposed the truth.

    Shao Shang is speechless: Three princes, your character really needs to be changed. Haven’t you heard the so-called revealing people but not revealing shortcomings.

    “No matter how the stunt came from, how could it not be passed on to the sons of the Hof people with Cui Hou’s intention. At the age of the two young gentlemen of the Cui family, they can circle around the tree once. Then, with the ability of Lord Zisheng, it would be difficult to fly around the tower – but he told me that he was also eavesdropping on the secret conversation of the people in the tower, and he didn’t hear it clearly… How is this possible!”

    Shao Shang smiled sadly: “I should have thought of it long ago. No wonder I always unconsciously refuse to believe him.” She took out half a jade from her bosom, with only A ‘weak’ word, gently rubbed – this is what Ling Budo returned to her when they were in love.

    “I heard two voices inside, I thought there were two people inside, but there should be three people. The third person is Lord Zisheng! He is the sword of martial arts. Immediately jumped out of the window, and then went around to the tower window behind me with the kung fu of ‘Swirling Yan’. After seeing me, he immediately pretended to be eavesdropping. He also broke my jade to scare me, and wanted to come to this jade. Jue’s other half is in his hands.”

    After passing one after another tall gates, shadows hit one and one chariot again and again, and in front of them was the brightly lit Chongming Hall on the west side of the Nangong Palace.

    The third prince was silent for a long time, and said: “You guessed it right, there were indeed three people in the tower that day, me, Zisheng, and Master Ouyang. However, we are not trying to disadvantage the prince, On that day, we were only discussing the theft of the East Palace’s seal, and we guessed who did it.”

    “I believe this.” Shao Shang said.

    The carriage stopped, and the deaf and dumb driver took out the step stool and let the girl get off the carriage with the help of the frame; the third prince also bent down and dismounted.

      We have used the method of frame-up to try to save the throne. Then, as long as His Majesty’s mind remains unchanged, the crown prince’s position as the crown prince will be unbreakable. The crown prince of Emperor Xuan is also generally weak and cowardly, and he can succeed him, not to mention our crown prince.”

    “To be clear, your biggest opponent is not the Crown Prince, but His Majesty. Then, how can you change His Majesty’s mind? You can’t slander, you can’t slander, then you can only make Yang conspiracy .”

    “You must let His Majesty see clearly that the prince is really unbearable to be a king.”

    Shao Shang looked at the bright hall in front of him, and bent down to smooth his dress: “So Lord Zisheng thought, anyway, tonight, the whole family of Ling’s family will be wiped out, so he simply brings the big things together for His Highness. already.”

    She smiled slightly, “After last night, Your Majesty is probably just like Emperor Gao when he saw the four brights of Shangshan, knowing that the general trend is over, and the will of God cannot be violated – those who can sit firmly in the storage position will naturally sit firmly and sit firmly. If you are unstable, you will not be able to sit still.”

    “Zisheng, Zisheng…” The third prince trembled, his eyes filled with tears, “He shouldn’t, shouldn’t…”

    “He is such a person.” Shao Shang has a snow-white face and a frail figure, “He is both upright and dark; He will leave me without hesitation…”

    She bowed her head slightly, her eyes dripping with moisture, and when she raised her head, she pointed to the front hall: “Your Majesty chose to discuss matters here, and I think the battle is not small, the third highness might as well tell me the situation.”

    The third prince looked forward and said solemnly: “This morning, eighteen important ministers jointly impeached Zisheng, and Cui Hou, who was recuperating at home, immediately entered the palace to plead for mercy. But Cui Hou couldn’t say anything. The reason is that the royal father is already furious and refuses to listen to him. In the afternoon, Chen Anguo brought all Zisheng’s soldiers back to the capital, and I heard about it after questioning with Cui Hou…”

    He couldn’t choose what to say, and he seemed to be confused, “What Zisheng’s father is not Ling Yi! Who could that be? What else could avenge his parents, Gu, Gu has never heard of this, Cui Hou didn’t know the details, so we went to Xinghua Courtyard to ask an old woman…”

    “Auntie?” Shaoshang asked.

    “Yes, it’s her. Who knows that after the death of the Hof people, Zisheng has sent her to the countryside for old age. How can we find someone in an instant!” The third prince raised his eyebrows anxiously. stand tall.

    “The big Sima Cai Yun said that maybe the son of the Hof people died in the war, and Zisheng was picked up by her. Lord Lang Guantian said that Zisheng was the son of Linghou’s enemy, who pretended to be ten For a few years, last night was just for revenge, but the most important thing is that Zisheng killed his biological father in order to avenge the Hof people… In short, things are unclear now, everything is said!”

    “Originally, the father wanted to bring Zisheng back for questioning first, but the effort of digging a hole in the mountain was too great. Some people said that Zisheng was a capital crime anyway, so let him live on the bottom of the cliff. Extinguishing… It’s getting dark! So I had to go to Shen Zisheng’s house soldiers again. The leader, Liang Qiuqi, is still in a coma, and the other one is called ‘A Fei’. may know…”

    Shao Shang smiled bitterly: “Yes, I do know. I’m afraid, even Lord Zisheng doesn’t know as much now as I do – I want to understand everything.”

    Speaking, she walked towards the front hall, and the third prince grabbed her arm and said coldly, “Are you sure?”

    The third prince was in a hurry to get angry at this time, how could she look at her unconcerned appearance, and scolded in a low voice: “Don’t talk nonsense! I haven’t thought about putting myself in his shoes at all! When disaster strikes, the first thing you think about is how to keep the Cheng family out of the way. Now you’re right and coherent, and you’re like an outsider! Do you know what it means to care about chaos, and what it means to live together? Die together, your blood is cold…”

    Hearing this sentence, Shao Shang couldn’t bear it any longer, and threw half of the jade in his hand to the ground – with a squeak, the jade shattered all over the place!

    “I can make wine!” – her chest heaving, her anger overflowing, her eyes sparkling like sparks.

    The third prince was startled.

    “…I can brew the purest and strongest wine in the whole city! But I know that His Majesty advocates thrift, and brewing consumes a lot of food, so I can’t spread it everywhere. I can build a waterwheel. I made it The waterwheel is smarter and simpler than the craftsman’s workshop, and it can save 30% of the human and animal power, but because I am a woman, I cannot serve as an official except for the rewards of some gold and silver fields. I also build a kiln to burn tiles, and I burn them out. The tiles are as strong and durable as the palace tiles, but it can save half the firewood and labor!”

    “Is there Ling Budo, I am a person who is alive and well, and I also have parents and siblings to take care of! Just because I am a woman, I should be aggressively asked ‘Your man is going to die, why are you? Don’t accompany to die’!”

      You can’t be indignant, or you’ll be ruthless and selfish!”

    “He treats me with heart and lungs, I will cut open my body, take out my heart, liver and lungs and return it to him! If he saves my life, I will repay it with my life! Tonight if I save my life Without him, I will pay for it with my life, and I will never be greedy for life and fear death!”

    “If one day I want to die, it must be because I am tired of living, not because I have to accompany others to live and die together! Ling Budo is my favorite person in the world , but I’m still myself!”

    The girl’s shoulders were slender, trembling like butterfly wings, but she maintained a straight posture. – This almost solitary stubbornness has formed a charming arrogance.
