The Queen Mother died of illness. When Xuanyuan Chengtian angrily announced the day of Yun Chu's execution, she suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood, lay down on the couch, and never got up again!
According to rumors in the palace, she kept mumbling on her deathbed: "Why should there be Luochen in Xixia? Why should there be Qingcheng in the morning?"
The Queen Mother died of illness, and rumors spread among the court officials and the people that the Queen Mother was mad to death from Qingcheng! Or that she was killed by her! There were different versions. When the news reached Qingcheng's ears, she smiled lightly and ignored it.
When Butterfly reported Qingcheng Qingze's visit, Qingcheng was extremely surprised! After being stunned for a long time, he quickly sent someone to invite him in.
After Qingze came in, he stood in the hall without saluting. He walked up to Qingcheng and stared into her eyes for a long time, as if he was searching for something in her eyes.
"Qingcheng, you have changed!" After a long time, Qingze said calmly, his tone was slightly cold, with a hint of loss.
"Really?" Qingcheng smiled lightly, turned around and sat down, looking at Qingze: "Since Qingcheng entered the palace, this is probably the first time that my second brother has come to visit Qingcheng!" She paused and smiled wryly at herself.
He said: "Perhaps I didn't come to see Qingcheng at all. I probably wanted to ask for something!"
"Qingcheng's wisdom in perceiving people's hearts has not changed!" Qingze sat on one side and looked directly at Qingcheng with his clean eyes without any avoidance.
Those clean eyes still carry a hint of sadness, but Qingcheng can no longer find the thing that warmed people's hearts before. He doesn't know when and where it was lost inadvertently.
"Say it!" Qingcheng turned away and stopped looking at Qingze's eyes, which were filled with coldness, just like the first time he watched her being beaten with cold eyes.
"Just let Yunchu go! If you still recognize me as your second brother."
Qingze's heart felt stung by Qingze's cold tone, just like the thing you thought was most unlikely to happen suddenly happened! Qingcheng stared at him in astonishment for a long time, then looked away, coldly
He said: "These are the decisions of the emperor. Qingcheng is just a small concubine in the harem, who can influence his orders!"
"Ha!" Qingze smiled sarcastically: "Everyone knows that in this palace now, there is no one else who can influence the emperor except Yan Qingcheng and Tianchen?"
Qingze's sarcastic smile once again hit the weak spot in her heart. Looking at Qingze, she couldn't help but get angry: "Why should I save her? Why should I save her? Why do she frame me again and again? Why do she think so many times?"
I was about to die? And I’m not dead yet?”
Qingze's expression froze, and there was a kind of hurt in his eyes. He couldn't help but soften his voice: "Qingcheng, that's not what I meant!"
He paused as he spoke, and a faint voice followed: "Sometimes I think about how great it would be if you were not my sister; if you were not my sister, then you would not appear.
You're at the Yan family! If you hadn't appeared at the Yan family, Jingren and the prince wouldn't have known you! Qingqing wouldn't have died, and Xinrui wouldn't have committed suicide because of you! Yunchu should still be here now
in an
Be her queen peacefully! No need to rack your brains to embarrass you! Maybe you and I can get to know each other again in another way! Maybe you can also live another life!" Qingze finished his bitter words yearningly.
Smiling, he said self-deprecatingly: "These are just what-ifs, everything has already happened! You are also my sister, if you can please ask the emperor to let Yun Chu go, okay?"
At this time, Qingze looked at Qingcheng with an added meaning, which was familiar to Qingcheng, warm and soft, with a kind of long-lost kindness.
Qingcheng stood up and looked into his eyes, as if she was coveting the warmth in his eyes. She asked casually: "Second brother! If it were me who was about to be executed - Qingcheng! You would beg me to do this."
Are you going to ask Yunchu?"
Looking at him, eager to know the answer, Qingcheng felt uneasy as if he was afraid of another accident.
"Yes, I will definitely!" Qingze didn't leave too much time for her to think, and answered without hesitation without thinking. He seemed a little excited.
"That's enough!" Qingcheng smiled, turned his back, and said in a calm voice: "Go back, since the second brother doesn't want Yunchu to die, then Qingcheng will never watch her die!"
"Thank you!" Qingze was silent for a moment and then turned around. As soon as he reached the entrance of the palace, he stopped again and turned to look at Qingcheng inside the palace. His figure showed indescribable loneliness and loneliness!
Maybe she has always been lonely! She has never changed, but there is an unspeakable vulnerability under her disguised indifference!
"Take care! Lan Ruo!"
Qingcheng, who thought Qingze had left long ago, turned around after hearing this, looked at him in astonishment, then smiled and nodded solemnly to him: "Yes! Second brother!"
Qingze smiled, turned around and walked out.
In an instant, Qingcheng saw the sadness in the eyes of this man, the only man in another time and space who felt like a family member to her, melt away in that smile!
*******
They were both on death row, but there was a huge difference in the treatment between Qingcheng before and Yunchu at this time!
Guan Yunchu's death row has everything you need, like a luxurious cage.
This is because the target of the order is different! Qingcheng thought.
When Yun Chu saw Qingcheng appearing in her sight, she stopped pacing back and forth, walked over quickly and grabbed the iron fence, looked at her with hatred and said through gritted teeth: "Yan Qingcheng, don't
It’s too early to be proud! Even if I die, you won’t be better off there!”
Qingcheng looked at the face that was distorted by hatred, and said calmly: "The Queen Mother died of illness!"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and then she violently shook the iron fence and cried heartbreakingly at Qingcheng: "Yan Qingcheng, tell me, did you kill her?"
Qingcheng watched her fierce shouting calmly. After a while, she finally calmed down, silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked up at Qingcheng: "I want to see her one last time!"
"No." Qingcheng refused coldly, and before Yunchu could get angry, she added: "I don't think the Queen Mother is looking forward to meeting you underground! Now the Emperor is guarding the Queen Mother's body day and night. If you still
If you want to live, it’s best not to appear in front of him!”
"What?" Apparently Yunchu didn't understand what Qingcheng meant and looked at her doubtfully.
Qingcheng ignored her, looked to the side, signaled, and the jailer came over and opened the cell door.
"The carriage is already waiting outside. Please don't ask any more questions. Someone will take you out of the palace!" Qingcheng said coldly.
The jailer escorted Yunchu out. She struggled to stop in front of Qingcheng and said disdainfully: "Yan Qingcheng, let me tell you! Don't think that if you let me go today, I will be grateful to you. In this life, in this life,
As long as I have a chance, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"
Qingcheng smiled coldly: "We are always waiting for you!"
Yun Chu looked at her hatefully and followed the jailer out!
