When the carriage drove not far from the queen's palace, Huai Moran and others heard a cry. This was the sad cry of the maids and eunuchs who had been following Queen Ye He for several years. This cry was also
Tell others that Queen Ye He will always be the woman who is loved by others. Even though her beauty is as thin as paper, there are many people in the world who will always remember her goodness.
Huai Moran glanced at the gray-faced Baili Ye Heng with some worry. Seeing the vague murderous aura in his eyes, she couldn't help but feel distressed and gently caressed his cheek, whispering softly: "Ye Heng, don't bear with me any longer."
Just be patient, wait until grandpa comes back, wait until we go to the Beihai Palace, and we will get back the mother's revenge bit by bit, okay?"
Although she wanted to kill Baili Zhancheng immediately with one sword, she knew that it was not the time yet. For the sacrifice of Queen Ye He, they had to endure it until they had enough ability to conquer the world and kill the old man.
thief.
There was a soft light in Baili Yeheng's dark eyes. He knew that Huai Moran was afraid that he could not bear it, so he gently covered her hand with his big palm. Although he did not speak, she read
Understanding the meaning in his eyes, they had already understood each other, so it was okay not to say these words.
The carriage gradually stopped, because Chuanyun was Baili Yeheng's hidden guard, so as soon as he entered the palace, he retreated like a shadow, so the only one driving the carriage at this time was Zang Xin. Zang Xin opened the curtain and whispered
He said: "Master, Prince, I will help you come down."
Huai Moran nodded slightly. She supported Baili Yeheng and slowly walked out of the carriage. At this time, the sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds piled up not far away were like trapped animals, waiting for the right opportunity to stir up the dull sky.
Turning clouds and rain.
Baili Yeheng was clearly strong, but he felt that his legs were heavier than lead, and he couldn't even take a step forward. Huai Moran and Zang Xin supported him from left to right, and moved forward cautiously.
The wailing sounds all around were clearly audible. When the discerning young eunuchs saw Baili Yeheng and Baili Yeheng coming back, they hurriedly saluted. They didn't know if seeing him reminded them of all the things that happened to Queen Ye He during her lifetime.
The maids and eunuchs cried even more fiercely.
The tip of Baili Yeheng's nose was sore, but he just clenched his fists tightly, and then knelt down with a "plop" far away from the corridor.
Huai Moran was caught off guard and knelt on the ground too. He saw the two masters kneeling down, so why didn't he kneel down? So he also knelt down respectfully. He didn't have much impression of Queen Ye He, but he
He clearly remembers the heavy rain that night. He accepted the order from Huai Moran to protect Queen Ye He and Xiu Niang. As a result, Queen Ye He blamed him for being wet and was afraid that he would catch a cold. She also ordered someone to prepare clean clothes for him.
Simmered the soup.
He still remembered the gentle and gentle expression of the woman at that time. He knew that she must be a good mother, and he envied Baili Yeheng to have such a mother. Who knows, things in the world are unpredictable...
"Mother... my son is back... your unfilial son is back..." Baili Yeheng murmured with his pale and bloodless lips moving.
The tears that Huai Moran was holding back surged down like a bursting river at this moment. She bit her lip and murmured: "Mother, it's Mo Ran's fault. Mo Ran shouldn't be willful and take Ye Heng away... Mother.
…”
Baili Yeheng slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mo Ran... look at the queen mother for me, take a closer look at her appearance, and see if she is still as dignified and beautiful as ever."
Huai Moran frowned. She really hoped that he could go and see the woman in the cold coffin with his own eyes. However, she knew that he would not go, not only because of fear, but also because of the guilt in his heart, which made him unwilling to go.
I am willing to face Empress Ye He who passed away like this.
"Okay..." Huai Moran choked out, and then stood up slowly. She looked at the coffin made of golden nanmu placed in the middle of the room, pursed her lips, and slowly moved forward step by step.
As she walked, she felt her heartbeat speeding up with every step she took. Her heart longed and resisted getting closer to the coffin, just like Baili Yeheng who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time.
"Your Majesty, let me help you up. If you want to kneel, you should kneel in the mourning hall." Zangxin saw Huai Moran step into the corridor, and then cautiously said to Baili Yeheng, who was still kneeling next to him.
Baili Yeheng shook his head and said calmly: "No, in these years, I have never shown filial piety to my mother, never offered her a cup of tea, or even greeted her properly... so many years... so
Many years..." At this point, he pursed his lips and stopped talking. Instead, he silently rubbed his knees against the cold ground and moved forward little by little.
Zangxin knew that people like Baili Yeheng would never reveal their inner sadness unless they encountered such a thing, so he stopped trying to persuade him to say anything, just stood up silently, and followed step by step.
Behind Baili Yeheng, he comforted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen's spirit in heaven must be very comforting."
Baili Yeheng smiled bitterly. He just regretted that he did not dare to face his mother because he blamed himself too much. Even though he knew that she was the person who loved him most in the world, he chose to watch from a distance.
He looked at her but didn't come close.
Although he knew that what happened back then was beyond his control, he always felt subconsciously that if it weren't for the fact that Queen Ye He had him at that time, it would not be a problem to escape from this prison.
He put all the faults on his own head, but Queen Ye He didn't know, so she thought he resented her as his mother because of the way he was treated by Baili Zhancheng. Over the years, they have always kept distance.
Looking at each other from a distance, blaming each other, but not knowing each other's true thoughts, they made mistakes again and again. The two people who were obviously dependent on each other ended up almost becoming strangers.
Huai Moran stood outside the high threshold, looking at the white curtain in trance. For a long time, she slowly turned around and looked at Baili Yeheng, who was kneeling down little by little. Her eyes felt hot again, and the next moment she stepped in
He crossed the threshold and went straight to the coffin.
The lacquered gold coffin exudes a faint fragrance. The surface of the coffin is carved with exquisite and complicated patterns. Huai Mo Ran strokes those patterns carefully, and feels that some of them are very familiar. Looking closer, he realizes that the coffin has
The carvings are exactly the plum blossoms that Queen Ye He liked.
Huai Moran's tears fell slowly. She didn't believe that Baili Zhancheng would be so kind and carefully prepare her favorite coffin for Queen Ye He. Then, this coffin must be Huanbi, or she herself, who had gone to bed early
Prepared.
Huai Moran knew that as smart as Queen Ye He, she saw everything so clearly, how could she not know that her death was coming?
Thinking about it, she already had a premonition when she handed over the Beihai Palace Order to Huai Moran last time.
Huai Moran wiped her tears and slowly moved her hand from the exquisite lines to the edge. She held the frame, but her body was stiff there.
It's not that I haven't seen dead people before. In other words, in Huai Moran's previous life, she has seen all kinds of dead people, whether they are missing arms or legs, whether they are beyond recognition, whether they are intact, she has seen a lot and killed a lot.
, so she took everything lightly. Even if the person in front of her suddenly fell down and even her intestines were pulled out, she would not be afraid at all. For her, she never knew what fear was.
However, at this time, she felt extremely scared, as if there was some kind of monster lying in the coffin, and she would be frightened just by looking at it.
She slowly closed her eyes, slowly touched her chest with one hand, then took a deep breath, opened her eyes, then moved her body and tilted her head, and then she could clearly see the woman in the coffin.
.
Queen Ye He lay there quietly, looking extremely peaceful, as if she was asleep. She had applied exquisite makeup, but she didn't know who painted it for her and what skills he had to make her look like this.
The person who had been dead for many days was still painted with stunning beauty. But Huai Moran knew that a large part of the reason for this was her original beauty.
Huai Moran was lying on the edge of the coffin, looking straight at Queen Ye He who had a peaceful face. She no longer had any fear in her heart, but she was fully expecting Queen Ye He to wake up, just like when she entered the palace on weekdays,
Queen Ye He always wakes up from her sleep and then smiles deeply at her.
However, when she stared at the "sleeping" woman for a long time, she finally closed her eyes in despair. Because she knew that Queen Ye He would never sit up again and look at her with those gentle and charming eyes.
She laughed, and I would never hold her hand again to the garden full of plum blossoms in bloom.
"Mother..." Huai Moran murmured, and the next moment, her tears suddenly fell, but she hurriedly caught the tears like a panicked rabbit, because she was afraid that the tears would wet the brand-new breasts of Queen Ye He.
Golden palace skirt.
Baili Yeheng had already arrived in the mourning hall. He knelt upright in front of the coffin. After a long time, he choked with sobs and said, "Have you combed your hair well? She doesn't like messy hair. She must comb her hair every day."
Neat and tidy, not a trace of chaos."
Huai Moran bit his red lips, nodded and said leisurely: "The queen's hair is neatly combed and looks very beautiful. Pinned on it is her favorite Fenghui hairpin."
Baili Yeheng nodded slightly and continued to ask in a dry voice: "My mother always wears makeup solemnly, dignified and noble, but now have she ever painted her eyebrows in detail?"
Huai Moran sniffed, she couldn't bear to see Baili Yeheng like this, so she turned away, carefully wiping her tears, and murmured: "Well, the queen's makeup is very beautiful, her eyebrows are like Yuandai, and her face is
Her lips are like peach blossoms and her lips are like pills. She looks very beautiful, like a girl in her late teens."
Baili Yeheng let out a slight breath, but the tears in his eyes were like the indelible starlight in the night sky. He gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "On weekdays, my mother loves the palace skirt embroidered with plum blossoms the most. Today, she can
Are you dressed? Are you still as graceful and elegant?"
Huai Moran's tears fell slowly. She held the edge of the coffin tightly with one hand and her sleeves with the other. She said with a heavy cry in her voice: "Yes... the queen wore a gold base, light pink plum blossom pattern, and silver
The pleated palace skirt with traced edges is still as beautiful and charming as ever."
Baili Yeheng finally relaxed his brows with satisfaction, and then he kowtowed deeply and said with a solemn expression: "Mother, my son has returned, and he is intact. He will definitely live a prosperous life in the future. He will kill gods when he meets him, and he will kill him when he meets Buddha.
Buddha, I will never let anyone bully me, so my mother can rest assured."
Huai Moran turned around and looked at Baili Yeheng who had a serious look on his face. He moved slightly to his side with lotus steps, then slowly knelt down and looked at the coffin. He said with a serious look on his face: "Mother, don't worry, I'm here for you."
As long as you are here with Mo Ran, I will be with Ye Heng. We, husband and wife, will be as happy as you wish..."
