Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 581
Mengxia wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: “I came here just for this matter. When I talked about something else with you, I forgot the business! The eldest brother built a straw awning in the old man’s tent garden, and he said he was going to be there for a period of filial piety! ”
Murong Zhining sighed: “as I expected! He took me to the throne and wanted to leave me alone! I need his help when I need his help. Meng Xia, can you persuade him back to the palace for me? I really need him… ”
Meng Xia joked: “Oh You know you need big brother now? You admit you can’t do without him? Do you know him now? I said at the beginning, big brother will never give up on you, but you have always suspected big brother’s intentions and hurt his heart! ”
Murong Zhining took the table lightly and complained: “are you OK to blame me? Who started the fight? I wish I had killed Mr. Yuan? Let’s not complain about each other. We are both smart. We were cheated by Mr. Yuan’s flawed plan! I can’t believe anyone since I was hurt by chiyun Yuexuan. ”
Meng Xia’s face was full of shame: “I have to say that elder brother really pretends to be like that! At first, the old man could not tolerate general Huyan, but later he was afraid that I would help you to deal with the big brother. Under the big brother yuannai, he had to bear the pain and sacrifice the life of general Huyan in order to get the old man to let go of his guard. When I was imprisoned, I thought that elder brother was really crazy for power. Unexpectedly, he was to protect my personal safety. Then again, if he had not acted so extreme and concealed our eyes, how could he have deceived the old gentleman like an old fox? ”
Murong Zhining shook her head and sighed: “how many truths are covered under the surface! Meng Xia, I’m going to disguise myself as a little maid and get out of the palace with you. I’m going to invite Mr. Yuan back to the palace myself! ” She got up and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Meng Xia pressed Murong Zhining and said, “Oh, Emperor! You are the emperor of Shang and Xia now. You can’t do what you want! Elder brother asked me to tell you that he also wanted to be quiet for a while and didn’t want to be disturbed. Even if you see him in person, you can only see his cold face! ”
Murong Zhining frowned disappointedly: “I forget that I am like a bird with broken wings, and will be locked in this deep palace for a lifetime! There is no justice in this world. When I enjoy power, I have to pay the price of freedom! In that case, let’s both calm down for a while! ”
“Don’t worry, emperor,” said Meng Xia, appeasing him. “With me, Meng Xia will deliver messages to each other for you two.”
Murong Zhining sighed helplessly and nodded: “at present, we have no choice but to do so! Go, you accompany me to visit the queen mother of sangrou palace. I’ve been so busy these days that I don’t have time to ask her to say goodbye! ”
Murong Zhining’s exclusive dragon shaped chariot stopped in the palace of Sang rou. She led Meng Xia to the terrace of the palace of Sang Rou: “Meng Xia, you see, this used to be my palace. Since the fire broke out in the mother’s house, the mother lived here. I’ve had my mother’s palace renovated. In a few days, she will be able to move back to the palace. There are so many beautiful memories when she gets along with her father! ”
Xi Mei sits outside the dormitory, leaning against the door frame for a rest. She hears the movement, rubs her bleary eyes and kneels on the ground: “see the emperor! The Empress Dowager’s mother is taking a lunch break, so the maidservant will wake her up. ”
Murong Zhining raised his hand in an atmosphere: “no ceremony! I’ll go to bed myself and greet her! ”
Murong Zhining raised her legs and stepped into the door of the dormitory. She saw that the curtain in front of her bed was tightly drawn. She realized something was wrong and exclaimed, “mother’s mother…”
Murong Zhining stumbles across the curtains and uncovers the curtain. Murong Ruoyu, wearing a bright Cuizhai clothes and a nine dragon phoenix crown, lies on the bed with a smile. With charming makeup on her face and her hands folded naturally on her chest, she looks like she can’t wake up, but there is a line of blood on the corner of her mouth, which is clearly no breath.
Murong Zhining let out a cry: “empress mother…” She pulled Murong Ruoyu slightly stiff, and there was still a trace of Yu Wen’s hand, crying heartily.
Xi Mei steps forward, falls to her knees and says to herself, “how can it be possible? My mother takes an hour of lunch break every day. She can’t be bothered by others. She has nothing different today… ”
Meng Xia searched around in the dormitory: “it’s strange that the doors and windows are intact and there are no obvious signs of invasion Isn’t she… ”
Murong Zhining is holding back her grief. She feels an envelope under her pillow and unfolds the letter to watch. The letter was written in neat and elegant small regular script, only with a few words: “don’t be sad! The mourner is in a very happy mood, and your father and the emperor to reunite! No matter life or death, only by your father’s side is the peace of mind! Yi’er is under your care. I’m very relieved! Murong is a unique language. ”
She slapped herself in the face and kowtowed: “please forgive me, Emperor It’s the maid’s negligence that doesn’t notice the Empress Dowager’s abnormality! Before her lunch break, she asked her maid to prepare a bowl of tranquilizing soup, which was twice the dosage as usual. She said that she always had a headache recently and couldn’t sleep well at night. Her maid didn’t dare to give it to her until she got the consent of the doctor…… ”
Murong Zhining cried: “no blame for you She has already decided to go The mother loved beauty all her life. She was so scared of death that she took poison before losing consciousness after drinking tranquilizing soup Mother, why are you so cruel? Father is important, but children are not? “Meng Xia hugs Murong Zhining and soothes him softly: “the emperor, the Empress Dowager’s mother has gone so far and has not suffered any pain, so don’t be sad!”
Murong Zhining cried out: “I should have paid more attention to my mother’s I didn’t even comfort her well… ”
Eunuchs set up a spirit hall in Yiqian palace and carried Murong Ruoyu’s body from sangrou Palace back to Yiqian palace for placement.
In the night, Murong Zhining sent Han Yi back to the temple to rest. She knelt alone in front of Murong Ruoyu’s coffin and cried. Just as she was tired and about to lose consciousness, a pair of warm hands gently lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.
Murong Zhining opens her eyes in a daze. Seeing Yuanzhi holding her, she immediately grabs Yuanzhi’s neck like a life-saving straw, puts her face into his arms helplessly, sobs softly.
Yuan Zhi embraces Murong Zhining and enters her bedroom, puts her on the Dragon bed gently, and comforts her gently: “the emperor please mourn, please take care of the dragon body!”
Murong Zhining reached out to Yuanzhi feebly: “Mr. Yuan, how are you back?”
Yuan Zhi holds Murong Zhining’s hand and sits on the edge of the bed. His voice is very gentle: “I originally planned to spend three years in front of my father’s grave. When I heard the news of the queen mother, I hurried back to appease you!”
Murong Zhining choked: “every time I encounter pain, you always stay by my side I’ve been used to your care for a long time. Please don’t leave again, OK? ”
Yuan Zhi pulled the Dragon quilt and covered Murong Zhining with it: “I have a lot of important things to deal with when your mood is calm.”
Murong Zhining clutched the quilt corner in fear, and her body shivered: “what’s important to you? It’s just an excuse for you to run away from me. I know you better than anyone. Nothing is more important than your self-esteem. If you value your status so much, I will give you the throne and be a little woman. The mother said to me two days ago, I hope I can marry you, and I promised your father that I will take care of you. Then why don’t we comply with the wishes of our parents and end the disputes of several generations? ”
Yuan Zhi gently flicked a wisp of hair on Murong Zhining’s forehead and said softly: “Ning’er, whether you believe it or not, I will help you in the position of God without any selfish thoughts. Before, I used to be addicted to your love, but now, I find that I have completely put it down. You don’t have to feel guilty about me. We are two different kinds of people, just like our parents! ”
Murong Zhining shouldered her way: “you are irresponsible for saying this. You have made me deeply dependent on you and mercilessly pushed me away I’m just like you. I’ll go to my father’s and my mother’s grave and marry you for filial piety. I’ll leave you alone in this deep palace to try… ”
Yuan Zhi caresses Murong Zhining’s cheek: “are you so willful when you are emperor? I’m here, but I can’t help you. You’re too tired. Take a rest. I’ll go to the wake for you! ”
Murong Zhining felt unprecedented stability. She nodded obediently and closed her eyes wearily.
Murong Zhining fell into a dreamland in a daze. There was a layer of water mist in front of her eyes. When the fog was over, she saw the Taoist named xuanchengzi, who was holding a banner to attract business, coming to her slowly.
Just before Xuancheng son and Murong Zhining passed by, Murong Zhining reached out and stopped him: “you shameless man with a full mouth of lies, you say, since I’m a real dragon, how can I say fengpin?”
Xuancheng son seems to be unable to hear Murong Zhining’s questions. He turns around Murong Zhining for a week and says to himself, “this little girl’s life style is really complicated. I have never seen such a complicated life style before. It’s amazing!” He said, holding up the banner, and left.
Murong Zhining angrily chases up the front: “niunose, you stop, have I let you go? You make it clear. ”
Xuancheng son turned back and brushed Murong Zhining’s cheek with the dust, saying: “one yuan starts again, and the Dragon leaps nine days.”. Seven mouth temper, double fire nirvana
Murong Zhining seems to have been fixed. She can’t move all over. When her body becomes flexible, xuanchengzi has already disappeared.
Murong Zhining is staring at the top of the tent. She is still immersed in the dream and cannot extricate herself. Every time she wants to uncover the mystery, she will suddenly wake up. However, this time, she is half asleep and half awake, watching xuanchengzi disappear in front of her eyes.
Murong Zhining turns over and sits on the Dragon couch. She repeatedly reads the four words that xuanchengzi utters and tries to figure out the meaning of them. She can’t sleep any more and sits beside the bed hissing and sighing.
Fei Fei heard the slight sound and opened the door lightly and walked in: “emperor, you haven’t slept for half an hour, how can you wake up?”
Murong Zhining holds her forehead with her hands: “I really can’t sleep. Change clothes for me. I’m going to give incense to my mother.”
Fei Fei replaced Murong Zhining with a plain Dragon Robe, tied a hemp rope around her waist, covered the robe with a plain white Cape, and tied a white cloth strip to her Kowloon crown.
Murong Zhining steps out of the dormitory and heads for the front hall. Yuan Zhi kneels devoutly in front of Murong Ruoyu’s spirit and burns paper money one by one.Fei Fei reached out his hand to Murong Zhining and exclaimed: “emperor, this yuan adult is really sentimental and righteous! No wonder when I complain about him, I will be scolded by the emperor. Emperor, no matter how noble your status is, you are always a woman. A man like Mr. Yuan is a must. Here you are
Murong Zhining sighed softly: “Lord yuan is a heavenly horse, and the general bridle can’t restrain him!”
