In the first year of Jiahe, winter.
The cold wind invades the muscles and the moon shadows sway.
The new emperor ascended the throne for half a year, and wars on the frontier continued. Gu Yanqing, the son of the King of Zhenbei, was ordered to lead troops to fight against the enemy, and won a complete victory, but the mercenaries did not return. The new emperor issued three edicts to recall Gu Yanqing, but he did not know that Gu Yanqing had a rebellious intention. He stationed a hundred thousand troops outside the city and were always ready to attack the city and seize the throne.
Northern Wei Palace.
The lights in Yunguang Hall were brightly lit, and the palace ladies were waiting for the summons.
No one knew that Pei Qinghe, one of the four concubines, had been kneeling on the cold floor tiles for an hour.
The warmer in the palace was burned very vigorously and warm.
Even if Pei Qinghe wrapped her body with a light gauze, she couldn't feel any chill. She just knelt for a long time and her knees would inevitably hurt.
Her body was shaking unbearable.
Through a bead curtain, the man holding a pen and practicing calligraphy in front of the table cast a gaze at her, and his eyes fell on her furrowed eyebrows.
In the quiet palace, the young emperor spoke indifferently: "Will Concubine Ning can't stand this punishment?"
This punishment-
Pei Qinghe laughed at herself.
This is not the case any time. As long as he gets angry, he can always find her mistakes to torture and humiliate her.
She felt tired and looked at the man behind the bead curtain with a expressionless face. Her voice was numb and calm: "At this moment, the army is at the city, and Your Majesty still has leisure to humiliate me. It seems that he has made all preparations."
"Are you mocking me?"
"I don't dare."
"Don't dare?"
With a bang, the best purple brush broke on the table. The man flipped his sleeves and his handsome tall figure approached her step by step.
"Pei Qinghe——"
His voice was a little colder than the ice in the twelfth lunar month.
"When you persecuted my beloved, how dare you not see you? When you unite with all the civil and military officials of the court to force me to accept you into the palace as a concubine, how dare you not see you? I see you are extremely arrogant and ruthless. Why is there no arrogance at that time now?"
After Pei Zheng finished speaking, Pei Qinghe felt his whole body trembling.
No matter how hot the stove is, it cannot withstand the coldness in my heart.
She avoided Pei Zheng's words and refused to answer.
"Your Majesty, with Gu Yanqing's ability and means, you will be able to break the city tomorrow morning. I wonder what your Majesty plans?"
The man had come to her at this moment and looked down at her from a high point, "Plan? What can I have?"
As he said that, he squatted down in front of her and looked at her side. His handsome face made people unable to see his joy and anger.
He said: "Isn't it just right to use the country to treat Beining's life? In this way, I will not be faced with her after being in the underworld."
Gu Beining.
Gu Beining.
This person was like a curse in Pei Qinghe's ears.
The person in front of me was her husband, and they were about to get married two years ago, but Gu Beining's appearance disrupted everything.
Later, Gu Beining died.
Everyone said that she killed Gu Beining.
Her husband hates her.
Gu Yanqing hated her.
The courtiers impeached her.
The people talked about her.
But clearly—
She did nothing.
Pei Qinghe felt infinite sadness in his heart.
She looked up with difficulty and stared at her husband in a daze. She felt astringent in her nose and her eyes turned red.
"Pei Zheng, my mother saved your country with her life."
How could you do this to me?
This time, even His Majesty stopped calling.
Before Pei Zheng inherited the throne, he was just the concubine's son of the King of Wei, and he was full of knowledge and could not be used seriously. The emperor lost his son at an age and no one inherited the throne. He was Pei Qinghe's mother. The eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty supported Pei Zheng, a clan's son, to succeed to the throne.
For this reason, Pei Qinghe's mother died in a mess of swords.
When she was used to seeing Pei Qinghe's delicate appearance, she cried at this moment, and Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows, with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Pei Qinghe's eyes, and his voice was calm: "But if the price was that Gu Beining was murdered, I would rather have never gotten this position."
These words finally angered Pei Qinghe. She wanted to get up, but she couldn't move because of the unbearable pain.
She scolded him: "The tyrant."
Pei Zheng looked at her coldly, moved his palm to Pei Qinghe's slender neck, and grabbed her lifeline. As long as he tried hard, he could easily break her neck.
But Pei Zheng did not.
He won't kill her.
Because of his long-term martial arts practice, Pei Zheng's palm was rough, and wherever he passed, Pei Qinghe trembled.
Looking at the woman's reaction, a deep look flashed in Pei Zheng's eyes. He leaned forward with thin lips approaching Pei Qinghe's ears, as if a devil whispered: "If you don't persecut Gu Beining, I might treat you well, but now that she is dead, the relationship between you and me no longer exists."
"Concubine Ning, you and I will have a long way to go."
Gu Beining.
Ning - Concubine Ning.
The title given to her by Pei Zheng was the greatest humiliation to her.
Pei Qinghe hated the person in front of her at this moment. While she was avoiding the aura of a man, she opened her mouth and bit her neck.
The latter pushed her away with his body tense.
Although it only took a moment, Pei Qinghe used all his strength and her bite and bleeding from Pei Zheng's neck.
The man rubbed his fingertips through the wound. After seeing the blood on it, his face was hard to tell. He stared at her for a moment and said, "Your and my debts will be calculated slowly in the future."
Then he shook his sleeves and left Yunguang Palace.
In place, Pei Qinghe knelt on the cold floor, unable to help but think—
Does she have a future?
Tomorrow, Gu Yanqing will be able to break through the imperial city, and by then, she will be the first person he will kill.
Can't sleep all night.
In the middle of the night, Pei Qinghe finally figured out his ending.
-
The next morning, Pei Qinghe asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a bowl of tonic for herself. She was in poor health since childhood and had been raising her for many years, but she had not seen any great results. Her mother tried her best to ask for a prescription for her to treat her body, but she felt that the medicine was bitter. After her mother passed away, she stopped the medicine.
After all, she failed her mother.
-
Today is a little colder than yesterday.
The clouds are covered with fog, and the snow is swaying in the wind.
Gu Yanqing came from a brave family, and with the help of the chief assistant Xiao Tanji, the only son of the prime minister, to break through the imperial city, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
There were no palace servants in Yunguang Palace in the morning.
Pei Qinghe didn't know how the battle was, but she knew that she would face it sooner or later, and she also knew what she was about to face.
She got up early in the morning to dress up and put on her princess's court uniform.
After entering the palace for half a year, Pei Zheng had never touched her.
She is still the innocent Princess Qinghe.
Instead of Concubine Ning, who suffered humiliation in the palace.
-
The heating stove in the hall was shut down, and the huge palace was cold and icy.
When the imperial kitchen delivered the tonic, Pei Qinghe was in a daze face in the diamond glasses.
The woman in the mirror was wearing a crimson milky cloud gauze dress with a pair of black and white smoke yarn, and was covered with a complex pattern. Her fair and delicate collarbone was seductive and deep. Her long black hair was fixed on the top of her head with a burnt blue-wired golden hairpin. A few strands of black hair were hanging down on her temples, and a pair of gilded steps were inserted on her head.
The most serious look is the peerless look.
