Vol 7 Chapter 1: origin
There is a beautiful woman who will never forget.
I don't see you for a day, and I think like crazy.
The phoenix flies soaring, seeking the phoenix from all over the world.
The helpless beauty is not on the east wall.
Replace the piano with the language, chat and write from the bottom of my heart.
When will I see Xu Xi, comfort me in my hesitation.
Wish to match virtue, hand in hand.
If you can't fly, I will perish.
The phoenix returns to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix.
——Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"
Qian dynasty's former dynasty...
A piece of white silk trembled slightly in the air, and the **** holding the tray hurriedly put the piece of white silk back into the tray and folded it.
The sky was very cloudy, and between the red palace walls, a group of eunuchs hurried forward in the silent palace with small steps.
Two rows of red walls sandwiched a section of cloudy sky, like an endless gray road.
The eunuchs in gray clothes looked like the prison guards of this luxurious palace. There was no superfluous expression on their faces, as if countless white silks were sent away from their hands, and countless dead souls were sent away by them.
They stood in front of a hut, the old lady in front of the house was ready, they nodded to the **** who came, and opened the door of the hut.
Inside the hut, Concubine Jing, dressed in white, was sitting quietly, but she had such a beautiful face that could overwhelm the country.
Women's lives are bad, and they are called beauty disasters.
A woman's life is cheap, and she is called a charming face.
What did she do wrong?
The only thing she did wrong was that she had this world-renowned face.
The only thing she did wrong was that she did not compete with the world and did not compete for favor and power.
"Concubine Jing, the time has come" the **** sent the white silk into the room. The two old women took Bai Ling and threw it on the beam of the room, and moved the stool for Concubine Jing.
Here, they are the executioners, they are the executioners. If Concubine Jing doesn't cooperate, they will send her to Bai Ling until her soul dies.
The two old mothers also respected her as their master before Concubine Jing was still alive.
"Concubine Jing, let's get on the road. There is a grievance and a debtor. We slaves are only following orders. Don't bear any grudges against us." The way is that the hearts of the palace are cold, but the two mothers are very cold to this exceptionally quiet Concubine Jing. There is a lot of regret in my heart.
It was only because the concubines in the harem were jealous of her, and because Concubine Jing didn't know how to please the emperor, and because she lost her mind when the violinist was playing, which offended the emperor and gave the concubines a chance to make trouble.
So, she became a vixen and a wife.
The three-foot white silk flutters in the wind, only because the beauty's soul has returned to the west.
If there is an afterlife, Concubine Jing hopes that she will no longer be a human being, but a lark in the sky, free to fly.
She calmly stepped onto the small stool, and with this three-foot white silk, she ended her life, and also ended all the jealousy and hatred in the harem.
When the tears rolled down her face, she vaguely heard the mournful sound of the zither, and a slight smile rose from the corner of her mouth. She was satisfied with this piece of music for her, no matter how painful her body was, in the sound of the zither , and let her slowly forget. The sound of the piano was like hypnosis, bringing her into the blue sky and flying to freedom.
Gu Changqing's tears welled up from those originally gentle eyes, he could only do this, he could only send her off at the end.
He pities her, but dare not approach her.
He knew her, but he didn't dare to say more.
He loves her, but dare not admit it.
He...isn't a man...
He succumbed to kingship, succumbed to ethics, succumbed to, and was weak...
He didn't dare to look at her more before he was alive, but at this moment, he is willing to go with her. If time can go back in time, he will definitely save her and no longer be afraid of anything!
While the sound of the piano was still reverberating, he cut his wrist with sharp strings, and blood flowed on the strings in an instant. He continued to play in a pool of blood, and he became crazy. The king's hatred, the hatred for this indifferent court, are played in the sound of "Cen Cen".
The sound of the piano became weird as the blood was soaked in it, and the blood gradually scattered in the vibration of the strings, turning into a blood mist.
Suddenly, the blood mist turned into red light and rippled out in circles, out of Gu Changqing's hut, out of the entire Yuefu, and into the small courtyard where Concubine Jing was executed.
"Oh, this guqin master is really desperate, he still dares to play the piano at this time!" The old lady and the eunuchs looked outside the house.
"It seems that the affair between Gu Changqing and Concubine Jing is true, at first I thought it was the empress and the others deliberately framed!"
"Shut up!" the **** shouted at the top of his voice, "You are all dying, criticizing the queen here?!"
"It's strange, why is the sound of the piano getting clearer and clearer, as if it's playing next door."
The sound of the piano floating into the hut became clearer and louder, as if it was outside their courtyard, right in front of them!
Suddenly, the air in the whole yard vibrated, just like the vibrating of the strings, swaying around the bodies of everyone, everyone was surprised to see the rippling air in circles, suddenly the old lady and the eunuchs were not Moved.
They all kept their original postures firmly, looking at the air outside the courtyard, with puzzled and strange expressions on their faces. The next moment, the sound of the piano suddenly became anxious, and everyone started to back quickly. Concubine Jing stepped down from the white silk, the old lady retreated from the house, and the **** retreated from the yard. Fall to the east!
As the dawn fell again, Concubine Jing woke up slowly in her palace, and Gu Changqing suddenly broke into the door, she looked at him in astonishment, but Gu Changqing's eyes were full of tears, the rims of his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had been crying for a long time.
Concubine Jing looked at him blankly, and he pulled her up without hesitation: "The emperor wants to kill you, let's go!" He pulled her up, ran out of the entire palace, and ran towards the brilliant morning light...
An **** hurried into the imperial study: "Emperor, Your Majesty! It's bad! Eunuch An, who executed Concubine Jing, is missing!"
"What?!" The emperor jumped up from behind the dragon chair.
When night fell, the emperor, empress, and guards were all standing in front of Jingyi Palace where Concubine Jing lived. There was nothing strange about the whole palace. The emperor was about to step forward, but the **** stopped him immediately, shouting: "The emperor is in danger!"
The emperor and empress looked puzzled. The queen looked at a court lady beside her coldly: "You go."
The palace maid showed fear, and walked slowly towards Jingyi Palace, walking slowly because of fear, the **** immediately pushed her.
"Ah!" She staggered forward and took a step forward, but at this moment, something weird happened! I saw that the air in front of the palace lady was like air, and circles of water ripples opened up, and the palace lady disappeared from head to toe in front of everyone.
In the blink of an eye, the court lady disappeared in front of everyone out of thin air, as if swallowed by an invisible giant beast.
Everyone is scared.
The emperor took a step back in horror and shouted: "Chuan, pass on to the Nine Gates—"
