The bottom of the skirt seemed to suddenly invade a faint cold air.

The skin is tight and the spine is cold.

At this moment, for some reason, Mu Fulan's thoughts floated back to the night she had forgotten a long time ago.

The autumn rain in Bashan, the red candle in the west window. That night, the wishful husband who had been waiting for many years finally returned home.

He seemed to love her beautiful body and gentle posture very much. Afterwards, he did not fall asleep immediately, but he still held her in his arms and continued to love her.

She was both shy and happy to be loved by her husband.

She knew he had not recognized him. She hoped that he could remember their first encounter. She hugged in his arms and mustered up the courage to tell him that the spring three years ago was next to the old cypress in Junshan. He had passed by and helped him save a bird that fell off the cliff.

He had obviously forgotten about that incident completely, and he was confused for a moment before finally remembering it.

He smiled and told her that he was visiting Yaowen that day. However, he did not expect that the little girl he met down the mountain was the princess of the King of Changsha.

It turned out that he had seen her at that time.

The Langjun's response was not as enthusiastic as expected. This made her feel a little disappointed, but when she buried her head in the Langjun's arms and listened to his powerful heartbeat, she was once again overwhelmed by the satisfied feeling of happiness.

Encounter and encounter, I wish you a wish. Encounter and encounter, and I will be together with you. What is more beautiful than this?

She looks forward to and firmly believes that from now on, she will grow old together with her Xie Lang.

But soon, she found out that the Xie Lang she married was not all the man who laughed in her dream of lovesickness and even the world seemed to lose his color.

Lingfeng from the Qi family quickly entered the door under her personal leadership.

In the following years, Xie Changgeng rarely stayed at home. He was always so busy. He either stationed troops in Hexi or quelled the rebellion everywhere.

She is his wife, and she wants to serve her mother-in-law and preside over the gifts. How could she go to his side to accompany her?

She and him were separated for a long time, and it was rare to meet him a few times a year.

The only comfort was that she gave birth to Xier the next year.

Xier is smart and lively, and she is the flesh in her heart. She has accompanied her through one long night after another.

She thought life had just passed like this, but she didn't expect that when Xier was four years old, her fate suddenly changed drastically with her husband's actions.

At that time, the rebellion of the vassal kings in the country had lasted for nearly ten years, and the country was in short supply and the people were exhausted, so her husband finally took action.

Someone reported to the court secretly that Xie Changgeng, the governor of Hexi, raised troops in the northwest, and planned to be indiscriminate. In the past two years, the court had been afraid of his power and wanted to seize military power. He raised troops in the northwest, rebelled openly, and headed towards the capital.

The court was shocked. The Zhao family vassal kings who had originally planned to take office and had bitten each other for more than ten years seemed to smell the breath of disaster. They stopped the fight and, under the lobbying of the King of Qi, reached a temporary compromise with Empress Liu, who controlled the puppet emperor, and fought back with all their might to protect the Zhao family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

My brother unfortunately died a few years ago. My sister-in-law was sick and had just passed away. Mu Fulan took Xier to Yuecheng to attend the funeral, but she had not returned yet. Xie Changgeng sent someone to pick her up and wanted to take her and her mother back to the safer Kuizhou. Unexpectedly, an accident happened on the way.

Their whereabouts were exposed, and the court sent troops to raid and intercept them. Mu Fulan and Xier were captured and imprisoned in Pucheng.

The court asked Xie Changgeng to hand over the city and retreat immediately based on the lives of her mother and son.

At that time, Xie Changgeng had just taken over Fucheng.

Taking down the city means that he opened up the road connecting his rear base. With this city, he can attack and defend freely, and go south to take the capital and go east to Luoyang.

Xie Changgeng did not agree to the conditions.

At a speed of lightning, he sent people to attack Puyang City, where the Qi Palace was located, and captured Zhao Xitai, the prince of the Qi King who was recuperating there, and used Zhao Xitai to counter the Qi King.

Zhao Xitai was weak and sickly. He was the only son raised by the King of Qi. He cherished him very much and did not dare to act rashly. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Mu Fulan and Xier became hostages and lived a difficult life in Pucheng.

This prisoner lasted nearly a year.

Finally one day, she waited for the person who saved her.

Yuan Handing is here.

After the death of Brother Wang, Changsha was abandoned, but Yuecheng was still there. In recent years, Yuan Handing has been guarding the last Mu family.

He bribed the people of the King of Qi, mingled into the city, managed to meet Mu Fulan, and told her that the prisoner Prince of Qi was seriously ill, but before the news came out, Xie Changgeng decided to capture Pucheng as soon as possible, and before the troops arrived at the city, he would take out her and her mother and son.

Yuan Handing took her and her son out of the prison late at night. He just waited for the city gate to open in Tianming, and immediately sent the person out.

Perhaps it was because of disaster that he had not yet left the city and was found in the rescue. The city gate was closed. Facing the fierce pursuit, Mu Fulan asked Yuan Handing to escape with Xier, trying to hide, and be sure to ensure Xier's safety.

She was so cruel that she pushed away her tears, holding her son who was still in the corner of her clothes with her little hands. She didn't even have time to kiss and say goodbye, so the mother and son separated, and the heavens and man were separated forever.

She was caught back.

Soon, Xie Changgeng's troops arrived at the city.

At that time, King Qi also knew about his son's death and was furious and turned all his anger to Mu Fulan.

During the days and nights when she was imprisoned, Mu Fulan had long understood that her husband would not stop moving forward because of her.

She is not only a burden to him, but what awaits her next will also be endless insults and destruction.

The only blessing is that Xier was finally protected.

She believed that Yuan Handing would protect Xier and bring him back to his father safely.

When the last moment came, she had no choice but to commit suicide.

Her body was hung upside down on the top of the city, swaying in the wind and sun.

Three days later, Xie Changgeng captured Pucheng, slaughtered the city, and buried Mu Fulan with a grand funeral.

The next year, he occupied Shangjing and killed Empress Liu and the royal nobles. That day, the blood flowed out of the city gate almost dyed half of the moat water red.

The new dynasty, stepping on the dry bones and pus and blood of the old dynasty, established its foundation.

The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was wise and decisive. After ascending the throne, he abolished the vassal states, removed the old ills, and had great talents and strategies, and had civil and military achievements. He was supported by all the people.

Ten years passed by in the blink of an eye.

That winter, snow was covered with snow, and every household was surrounded by mourning in the capital, mourning for the empress dowager who had just passed away a few days ago.

The emperor was a filial son who lost his father in his early years. It is said that when he was young, he was worried and frightened. Now he is in the world and has been caring for the empress dowager. Many years ago, after the empress dowager accidentally suffered a stroke, he was bedridden all year round. As long as the emperor was in the palace, no matter how busy he was, he would come to visit and serve medicine in person sooner or later, and he would never stop, be filial and respectful, and win praise from his subjects. Now that the empress dowager has gone, the funeral is naturally extremely grand.

In the Tingling Hall, the queen Qi was dressed in a heavy filial piety and knelt in front of the empress dowager with her concubine in the harem. She cried until late at night, and was exhausted and almost fainted. Then she listened to the advice and was supported by the palace servants and returned to the bedroom to rest.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, before she could sit down, the emperor's confidant Eunuch Cao walked in with several powerful eunuchs from Kong Wu.

Eunuch Cao smiled and said that he had come to pass His Majesty's oral order.

Qi Lingfeng hurriedly came to welcome him.

Eunuch Cao said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, and Empress Dowager has served the Empress Dowager for many years, and has won the heart of the Empress Dowager. Now the Empress Dowager returns to the west, and the Empress is buried with her. When she arrives there, she will serve the Empress Dowager for me to fulfill her filial piety."

Qi Lingfeng's face was pale, and she couldn't even kneel. She was soft on the ground on the spot until she saw the eunuch taking out the rope she brought, and then woke up like a dream, got up from the ground, shouting that she wanted to see the emperor and ask the matter clearly.

Eunuch Cao, who is respectful to her on weekdays, now his expression becomes extremely gloomy. He ordered the eunuch to catch her and said, "Your Majesty, you will not see you. The queen, the one who says below is all the words of Your Majesty. You can hear it clearly, so as not to be a traitor who thinks he was wronged."

He coughed, imitated the emperor's tone, and said coldly: "Qi, do you think your brother and sister did to Empress Yuan back then, I don't know what you did to Empress Yuan back then? I have known it for a long time! It's just that the Empress Dowager cannot live without you, so I'll let you live in the world for the time being. I have let you be the central palace for so many years, leaving your entire body, which can be considered as repaying the favor of your Qi family to rescue the Empress Dowager. Now that the Empress Dowager has gone, you are still alive, so what are you doing? I'll stay with her again!"

Qi Lingfeng was struck by lightning. At first, she shouted loudly and whipped the eunuch randomly, as if she was crazy. When she heard that her brother had been dismissed from office and was about to behead her, the Qi family, and hundreds of children were all sitting in a row, crying and sank on the ground, and kept kowtowing, saying that it was all her fault, begging eunuch Cao and allowing her to plead with the emperor.

Eunuch Cao looked indifferent and ordered the little eunuch to take action.

Two eunuchs pressed Qi Hou to the ground, and the other two took white silk and wrapped it around her neck.

Empress Qi struggled desperately, kicking her feet around, and kicking her cemetery shoes flew out.

The world is prosperous and rich. She commands the harem and is extremely noble. She is a virtuous queen who is celebrating among the world. She lives a fair life, and never dreams that in the daytime, the emperor who had just joined her to pay tribute to the queen mother with her in front of her ministers would suddenly turn against each other and be so ruthless.

She never felt that she was a bad person. For many years, she had been sincerely filial to Xie's mother and was infatuated with Xie Changgeng, who was originally his brother-in-law. After entering the Xie family as a concubine, she was also polite to the Mu girl and did not disrespect her because of Xie's mother's love.

The reason why she did that thing and secretly leaked the news of her mother and son's return to the people of the King of Qi was just because of a moment of confusion.

She had long regretted it. She not only repented in front of the gods, but also did many good deeds in recent years in order to make up for her mistakes. Who wouldn’t the world say that the queen of the family is full of respect and praise?

Now, just when she had forgotten that incident, she did not expect that the Empress Dowager would be buried with her as soon as she went.

She really didn't know when the emperor knew about that. Thinking of the past few years, he was silent and waiting for the day when the empress dowager left, she shuddered as if she fell into the abyss.

Everyone has times when he makes mistakes. Has he never killed anyone or stained with blood?

She shouldn't be treated like this horrible.

How could she die just now?

But how could she be able to defeat these eunuchs who are like wolves and tigers and the death ropes wrapped around her neck?

Her face slowly turned from blood red to purple, her eyes turned white, her bulging and bulging, her blood scarring was dotted, and her tongue stretched out from her mouth.

After half a cup of tea, she was almost strangled with her neck, and then she completely cut off her breath, stopped her futile and painful struggle, and was strangled to death in this central palace that had belonged to her for a moment.

Outside the temple, the night sky was heavy, the north wind was roaring, and the snow was dancing wildly, as if there were souls, wept and trembling.

That night was so cold.

That bone-permeable chill seemed to be invading Mu Fulan until now, seeping into her skin inch by inch.

She shivered. She opened her eyes suddenly and met the man's two gazes on the side of the beauty's couch.

Xie Changgeng's actions suddenly stopped following her cooperation.

His eyes stagnated, and he finally slowly raised his eyes and looked at her face.

She leaned on the beauty couch, holding the hem of the lifted pomegranate skirt with both hands, lifting her pointed chin, and looking down at herself who was reaching out toward her.

Xie Changgeng looked at her for a moment, and a few embarrassed expressions passed through deep in his eyes.

He slowly withdrew his hand, stood up straight, stared at her, gritted his teeth, and said softly: "Slutty slut!"

Mu Fulan closed her legs, slowly put down her skirt, tidied it up, and even her feet were covered tightly, saying, "Xie Lang, even if you knew I was like this, would you change your mind and stop begging for relatives to Changsha?"

Xie Changgeng's face twisted slightly, turned around, strode away, and no longer looked at her for a second time.
