On both sides of the wooden door of this palace, there are wooden windows with carved patterns, which provide good lighting. The rising morning sun shines through the windows, making the colors of the ancient palace a bit brighter. The environment is in harmony with the clothes.
The silkworm clothes and phoenix crown ornaments are more suitable for the Queen Mother Guo.
Queen Mother Guo has long legs and a tall figure, and her kneeling posture is particularly dignified. She also speaks in a solemn female voice with a clear and round accent, with delicate consonants. In this situation, she has a luxurious and graceful temperament.
So when Qin Liang heard what Empress Dowager Guo said, he felt a little dazed for a while and subconsciously wondered whether he heard it wrong.
Perhaps because Qin Liang was distracted and seemed to hesitate a little, Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Qin Liang's face, and then sighed softly: "At that time, Cao Zhaobo was still a general, and the emperor was getting married. The queen was indeed my choice.
The person who recommended me. I thought I had found a good home for her, but I didn’t expect that my good intentions led to bad things. Because of my relationship, the emperor has always been secretly dissatisfied. He has not been close to her in these years. "
Qin Liang came back to his senses: "Is there such a thing?"
Queen Mother Guo nodded slowly and whispered: "People are dying, but even women have never done this."
Qin Liang already understood the meaning behind his words, but was stunned for a moment.
He was surprised because the relationship between him and the queen had not really reached that stage yet, and whether he even had admiration or not was very uncertain. Maybe they just got along well and had a good impression of each other? Friendship is like a sprouting tree seed.
Green Shade has not taken off yet, but it seems to be dying at this time.
I remember the last time we met, Qin Liang kindly reminded the queen that she didn’t need to worry about the emperor, just follow the Queen Mother Guo. Queen Zhen also said that no matter what, they would have their names as husband and wife.
He also told Qin Liang that the time he broke into her shower was just an accident and he had better forget it.
Qin Liang thought of this and couldn't help but said: "It still depends on the queen's own wishes."
Queen Mother Guo's eyes flickered, and she finally said softly: "I asked her about her wish. After talking for a while, she hinted that if that person is Zhong Ming, she is willing."
After a moment of silence, Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Qin Liang and said: "She must have had a good impression of Zhong Ming when she first met him in the courtyard of Taiji Palace. Zhen Yao entered the palace at a young age and had never been close to many men. She had not met many men by chance.
She is suddenly like Zhong Ming, and her heart cannot help but be moved. I guess she has been thinking about Zhong Ming a lot in the past few years. It is rare for Zhen Yao to be close and trust me, and I don’t want to see her leave any regrets."
After a short pause, Queen Mother Guo said slowly: "Besides, she has already shown it to you. She was afraid of etiquette before, so why should she care so much now?"
The most important thing in life is life and death. When Qin Liang heard this, he nodded: "If she regrets it later, I won't force her."
Queen Mother Guo pursed her red lips, and finally sighed: "Zhen Yao was born very beautiful, but she didn't want to be so sick now. Please go see her first, and I will wait here."
Qin Liang knelt down at the banquet and said goodbye to Queen Mother Guo. Then he stood up and walked past the curtain.
There is a hall wall on the east side, which is connected with the wall of the pepper room. There are no windows in it. The more Qin Liang walked inside, the more dim and deep the light felt. Qin Liang's mood at this time was very complicated and weird, with hidden evil desires and worries.
Shen's emotions, sympathy and pity were all mixed together.
In addition, Qin Liang also understands the truth
Reason, if people don't control their inner demons, it's easy to let them go. Especially when they are in power, they may even let themselves get lost and alienated!
The emperor has indeed been ignored, and even the Cao family has lost power. Without Qin Liang, other powerful officials will jump out, but it has not yet been fully disclosed. No matter how bad Cao Fang's talents and virtues are, he is still the current Wei Dynasty The most legal emperor in the dynasty, he was the grandson of the founding emperor and the crown prince appointed by the Ming Emperor when he was still alive. As for Empress Zhen, she was Cao Fang's first wife.
Realizing this, Qin Liang was also a little nervous, feeling as if there was a devil running around in him! No wonder Mrs. Zhen was so nervous before and couldn't speak fluently. But fortunately, no outsiders knew about this, and those who knew didn't dare to explain!
It was a short stretch of road, but Qin Liang seemed to have been traveling here for a long time, gradually entering the darkness.
But when he walked into the door of the pepper room and gently closed the wooden door with his backhand, he had regained his composure. After his eyes adjusted, he felt that the light here was not that dark. After all, it was daytime.
The space in the pepper room is not large, and there is a wooden cart next to it. It seems that Zhen Yao can at least sit up. She is not too sick to stay, but it has been too long and is getting worse. It is really scary. Behind a purple curtain, Then a feeble voice came: "General?"
Qin Liang said: "It's me." He stood there and bowed before him, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
There was no response from inside. Qin Liang secretly exhaled a long breath, then gently opened the curtain and walked straight in.
Zhen Yao was seen lying on a couch, struggling to sit up. She glanced at Qin Liang
, he immediately averted his eyes, and a sickly blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, "Ahem... I shouldn't see you like this." Zhen Yao's voice was low and her breath was short.
In fact, she was not disheveled, her hair had been combed, and she was actually wearing a blue silk silk coat. She was lying on her body before. Moreover, although Zhen Yao had a sickly look, she was not too thin. On the contrary, her figure is quite curvy, and the contours are so beautiful because of the plentiful skin. Her complexion is not good, but the snow-white color of her skin has not changed, especially in this simple and dim pepper room, wearing a dark blue silkworm clothes, even more Appear white and clean.
Qin Liang saw that she was extremely nervous and tried desperately to sit upright, but couldn't find the strength. He hurriedly advised her with gentle words: "Your Highness, please relax. There are no outsiders here. Although it is against etiquette and law to meet here, we cannot I have to do something, I mainly came to visit His Highness."
Perhaps it was because Qin Liang's words were very sincere, not shying away from being rude, but also very gentle. As expected, Zhen Yao didn't bother any more and leaned softly on the pillow.
Qin Liang stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the collapse, and then gently placed the back of his hand on Zhen Yao's forehead. Zhen Yao's body trembled slightly but did not resist.
But Qin Liang didn't understand medical skills at all, so he really couldn't see why. He even thought that those doctors were often helpless, like Wang Lingjun's biological mother, who died because of a cold.
Zhen Yao took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Qin Liang's face carefully. She probably had never seen Qin Liang at such a close distance like today.
The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Zhen Yao closed her eyes to take a breath.
After a while, her almond-shaped eyes opened again and she looked at Qin Liang. She spoke in a very low voice and said slowly: "I have heard about the achievements of the general. Many people praised the general. Ahem...yesterday in Luoyang City,
Isn't it very lively? I haven't congratulated the general yet."
After saying that, she closed her eyes again and took a few labored breaths, and her bulging chest also visibly rose and fell. Because Qin Liang had just returned to the court, it was normal for Empress Zhen to talk about this topic, but in such an atmosphere, her appearance
, which made Qin Liang feel a little sad in his heart.
Qin Liang sighed secretly, nodded and said "Yeah".
Zhen Yao rested for a while, then whispered again: "I thought I would never see the general again. I'm glad I can still see him, and finally we did."
Qin Liang said kindly: "Your Highness, as long as you take care of yourself slowly, you will definitely get better."
Zhen Yao lowered her eyes and said, "That's how my mother left. I was still young at that time."
"Spring has arrived, and the weather is getting warmer..." Qin Liang tried to reassure her.
At this time Zhen Yao suddenly asked: "When I die, will Zhong Ming remember me?"
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Qin Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and responded seriously: "Of course I remember."
Zhen Yao closed her eyes again. After a while, a sad smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Although you always care about me, I am not you."
After listening to this, Qin Liang could already understand how Empress Zhen felt. Recalling his previous experience of dying, he had to lament that he was always a loner in life. He could take nothing away and leave nothing behind. But not everyone could be as negative as him.
Bearish.
Qin Liang thought for a while and tried his best to speak in a more credible way, "Your Highness is extraordinary.
I was so lucky to see His Highness, who looked like a lotus fairy out of water. Although we never got the chance to get along with each other again, His Highness’ figure often appeared in my heart, just like we had been together day and night. I just couldn’t say it out loud before.
.”
Sure enough, Zhen Yao opened her eyes again, and her snow-white cheeks turned red. She looked at Qin Liang for a while and said quietly: "The general's palms are really warm."
Qin Liang then stretched out his hand and put it on her cheek tentatively. Seeing that she didn't move, he gently touched her beautiful neck and collarbone. Her skin was indeed cold, and she didn't know what the pathology was.
His movements were slow and gentle, and Zhen Yao's eyes gradually became blurred. But suddenly she stretched out her hand and pressed Qin Liang's palm hard. There was a look of fear in her beautiful eyes, and her delicate hands were tight.
Holding Qin Liang's hand tightly, "I'm going down with a posthumous title, what should I say?"
Qin Liang's voice was soft, but his tone left no room for doubt: "Even if you wait until then, you won't be able to see anyone."
Zhen Yao opened her eyes wide and was speechless for a long time.
Qin Liang was quiet for a moment. He was not used to hesitating too much. Now that he had made up his mind, he said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Let me take a closer look so that you can remember it longer and more clearly." One day.
When Hui didn't hear a response, he leaned close to Zhen Yao's ear again and said in a deep voice, "I've already seen it anyway, I just want to take another look." Zhen Yao's hand gradually loosened her grip, closed her eyes and leaned back.
Without moving, his cheeks became redder and looked a little more bloody.
The pepper house is a house within a house. In order to keep the inside and outside insulated, it looks very peaceful and quiet at this time.
It is filled with a special light pepper flavor, and there is also a faint scent of Zhen Yao, like a faint fragrance.
