When Helian was still breathing heavily on his sickbed, I asked him, "Do you have anything to keep with me?" ”
He shook his head.
Cloudy eyes stared at the top of the tent, as if quietly waiting for death.
I asked him again, "Then do you remember what Duan Yunsheng told you before he died?" ”
There was a sudden hint of emotion in his eyes, but calm was quickly restored.
From his intermittent and vague words, I only vaguely heard a few Northern Liang words, and I did not know the meaning of them.
I took his hand and said slowly, "I'm sorry. ”
He closed his eyes, and a tear came from the corner of his eye.
1
I saw Helian In the winter month, walked the mountain road for more than a month, and finally when I reached the Time of The Jade Gate Pass, it was already snowing.
It was cold outside the plug, we didn't bring enough warm clothing, and a lot of people died along the way.
Standing outside the yumen pass city wall, as soon as I looked up, I saw Duan Yunsheng's body, he didn't know how long he had been hanging on the city wall, the eagles that came and went pecked him beyond recognition, and the smell of corpses filled the tip of my nose the moment I got off the bus.
I leaned over and vomited, and it was at this time that Helian Yu rode out of the city gate.
I was originally a princess of Nakahara and my relatives, but when I saw my relatives, I threw up in front of him.
This was not a good thing, and the news of the princess's delicacy spread throughout the Jade Gate in an instant.
Helian took me into the city, sent someone to prepare me for the evening wedding feast, and placed me in the palace that had been prepared for me.
Hua Rong followed me into the room, and before I could speak, she slapped me.
Her hands had been frostbitten because of the rest of the month, and I stared at her wounds in a daze, thinking that she was the only daughter of Prince Taifu, and now she wanted to accompany me to suffer here, which was inevitably unpleasant.
"Zhongzhou just lost the battle, and you are so humiliated now?" Have you forgotten the Emperor's instructions? ”
I apologized in a low voice, trying to explain that I didn't mean to be so embarrassed in front of Helian, Hua Rong refused to listen, only viciously told me: "Remember the purpose of your coming here, don't forget what you were chosen for." ”
I smiled helplessly, took her hand in a flattering way, and promised to pay attention next time.
Some palace people came to knock on the door, and Hua Rong only then accepted his anger, changed into a respectful expression, and opened the door.
On the wedding night, I waited for Helian for a long time, hungry and sleepy, and after groping for some red dates, I finally heard his footsteps.
However, as soon as Helian Entered the door, he stepped on a jujube core.
I heard him chuckling, and then the red hijab was lifted, and he held a flower chicken in his hand and threw it at me.
"Duan Jianghe said you like to eat this, right?"
I was stunned, only to react to the fact that the "Duan Jianghe" he said was Duan Yunsheng, and then I nodded desperately, got out of bed and ran to the table, and opened the oil cloth wrapped around the chicken by candlelight.
Helian sat across from me and looked at me with a satisfied expression.
I originally planned to invite him to eat together, but he refused, raised his legs to leave, I can't lose face anymore, in order to keep him, simply asked: "The people of Zhongzhou all say that Duan Yunsheng is treasonous and collaborating with the enemy, and it is the king who is on you, is this really fake?" ”
Helian Huan really stopped, he turned his head to stare at me, his eyes did not have a trace of temperature: "If you asked me this some time ago, I would immediately let you die without a corpse." ”
Suddenly, I fought a cold war.
When he saw that I didn't speak, he said after a long time: "You Zhongyuan people are not worthy of a hero like Duan Jianghe, don't mention him again, so as not to insult him." ”
I sighed, "That... Can you bury him thickly for me? ”
Helian's expression became strange, he stared at me motionless, and after a long time he said, "You are now my wife, and I will inevitably give three thin noodles to your request." ”
I took off the only remaining chicken leg and said with my mouth full of oil: "If you can, bury him by the river, the willow by the river is the most prophetic spring color, and his favorite is spring." ”
Helian's expression changed several times, and finally he inexplicably shed some sadness.
He said, "It's useless, this is the Jade Gate Pass." ”
I wonder.
He added, "Outside the Jade Gate, there is no spring." ”
I was silent, the spring breeze did not close the jade door, it was so.

In the end, Helian Yu still buried Duan Yunsheng near the water, across the water from their royal cemetery.
I asked Hua Rong if he wanted to worship Duan Yunsheng, and Hua Rong laughed and said, "Even if you deserve to pay homage to him?" ”
I was a little embarrassed to say, first Helian Said that we were not worthy of Duan Yunsheng in the Central Plains, and then Hua Rong said that I was not worthy to pay tribute to him, Duan Yunsheng, Duan Yunsheng, you look at you, how bad is my popularity?
It's just that Hua Rong's cold words don't work, the queen is me, the princess is me, and I still followed Helian to worship Duan Yunsheng after all.
I stood in front of his tombstone, trying to say something but couldn't say it, and Helian stood not far away, his head bowed and not knowing what he was thinking.
On the Gobi, the wind and sand blew my face, and in a short while, my body was covered with a layer of sand, and when I saw that I really had nothing to say, Helian Urged me to leave.
When I went back, I asked Helian, don't you know his real name? Why use a pseudonym for the erection of the monument.
Helian Looked at me with some shock, and he asked, "Don't you know how the name Duan Jianghe came about?" ”
I shook my head, and suddenly he laughed, and the fine sand dust burrowed into his mouth, and he suddenly coughed violently.
I patted him on the back to soothe him, and he coughed up tears and turned to look at me: "Princess, do you like him?" ”
My head was suddenly a little confused, and after a long time I shook my head.
He was obviously stunned, and I added, "I'm your wife, how can I like other people?" ”
Perennial wind and sand intrusion made Helian Yu's originally resolute and mature face a little more depressed, and he suddenly laughed bitterly, stood up straight, and said: "We are all alive, like a joke." ”
Helian Didn't take me straight back to the palace, he shrugged off all the people who followed him, and only took me a long way to a red willow forest.
"I planted it for three years to become so many." He pointed to the small red willow forest and said slowly.
I think it's new, I've only seen green willows in the Central Plains, not red willows.
He said, "Do you know about the Battle of Aoki River?" ”
I shook my head.
He sighed.
Helian Yu told me that the Battle of Aoki River was a battle that shocked them in Xiliang, and that battle, Duan Yunsheng was a god in the first battle, and became a heroic general that even The people of Xiliang relished.
At that time, it was the beginning of spring, and the grain and grass in Xiliang were not receiving, and Helian Huan sent a small group of people to steal Duan Yunsheng's grain and grass, but he did not want to be discovered by Duan Yunsheng, and led a hundred people to chase them to the Qingmu River in Xiliang.
When Helian Received the news, he also led a team of 100 people to the rescue, and the two sides faced each other in the upper and lower reaches of the Aoki River.
Duan Yunsheng knew that he had reached the territory of Xiliang, and was afraid that there would still be reinforcements in the future, so he planned to retreat, but Helian Huan had the will to fight, and led the group of people to pursue them.
Without thinking that Duan Yunsheng had retreated to the junction of the two countries, he stopped, and he ordered all the soldiers to return to the city, leaving only himself alone, one horse and one spear, standing on the Aoki River to block the hundred people.
Helian sighed at his courage and laughed at his recklessness. Their foreign people were born stronger and stronger than the Central Plains people, and he thought that Duan Yunsheng did not measure up to his own strength, and there was only one way to die.
Until, one by one, the soldiers around him were slaughtered one by one, and the nineteen-year-old boy reached out in the setting sun to wipe the blood of the enemy from his face, and showed him a provocative and triumphant smile.
Of course, Helian Was not convinced, and the two of you chased me to drive you back and forth, until the sunset on the West Mountain, until a storm broke out on the Gobi Desert.
The people accompanying him were killed and injured countless times, and they had long been dumped by two people, and the two people fought in the sandstorm, and in the end, Duan Yunsheng, who had not experienced this kind of weather, won.
After saying this, Helian's expression was very calm, it should have been his shame, but he couldn't see his loss at all.
"Cut off a hundred people in Aoki, and cut off the king of Liang in the rivers."
"This is the slogan shouted for him by you Zhongyuan people after he returned to the army after he won the victory, and when it reached us, I have always called him Duan Jianghe."
I looked at Helian And understood his appreciation for Duan Yunsheng, heroes cherish heroes, and this has been the case throughout the ages.
Seeing that he was not in a very good mood, I smiled and said, "His kung fu is also practiced, when he joined the army, his father refused, asking him to pass the hundred people before he was willing to let him go. ”
Helian Turned his head to look at me and sighed, "He is a natural talent, if I..."
At this point, he suddenly remained silent, and I was a little curious, but it was difficult to ask again.
Only followed him, step by step back to the royal city.
3
On the seventh night of my arrival in Xiliang, I dreamed of Duan Yunsheng.
He stood at the wooden table next to the bed, looked at me sleeping on the bed, smiled and squinted, and said, "Ah, I saw Grandma Cui hiding a cooking cake in the stove, do you want to eat it?" ”
I opened my eyes and sat up suddenly, a tear snapping down on the back of my hand.
Hua Rong stepped out from behind the screen, still a little sleepy: "What are you making trouble?" Let not let people sleep? ”
I was dumbfounded.
She approached me, her eyes cold: "Don't shout Duan Yunsheng's name in your dreams again, I warn you one last time." ”
I folded my hands in apologies and promised never to do it again.
Hua Rong turned around and went back to sleep, but I couldn't sleep anymore.
Helian didn't come here much, he was always very busy, I went to his place more often, his bedchamber was always warmer, many times I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, he was still studying something with a map.
He was very diligent and serious.
So, looking at his back, I always think of Duan Yunsheng.
Duan Yunsheng and I are not lucky people, I am a cheap princess who is not popular with the palace women, he is the son of Duan Wei, the great general of the Great Xuanzhen State, and in the palace, they are all inferior people who are inferior.
So, both of us are extra diligent and serious.
I diligently wandered into the bedrooms and dining rooms of many grandmothers, and earnestly learned from some little eunuchs in order to survive how to steal things easily, I did not steal anything else, only food.
Before I learned these things, I was always hungry and full, yellow-skinned, and my second brother could push me into the water tank with one hand, and I couldn't break free no matter how I struggled, until I suffocated and fainted, and then he let go.
I was afraid of him, but there was no way, the complaint was useless, I could only please him.
Duan Yunsheng was as unlucky as I was, he was a shuzi, and the things that accompanied him to the palace could not have been his turn, but his performance was too dazzling, and he roughly compared with people on the martial field, casually said a few words of his views on the marching platoon, and Wu Taifu clapped his hands while his eyes widened and sighed: "This child is born to be talented!" It's my great proclamation of the future! It must be cultivated well! ”
Duan Yunsheng entered the palace so confusedly, and I finally had a companion when I was bullied.
There are many unfavored people in the palace, but only the two of us are bullied, and nothing else, and the identity is the original sin.
We were bullied a lot, and we both had unique coping skills. For example, for those grandmothers and fathers-in-law, they must be flattered so that they can get some food, but they can also be sold to the sky because of delicious food.
For my brothers, Duan Yunsheng has always not been tough with them, deliberately losing when they are in competition, and when they are in the game, they will not be able to get up, and they will be humiliated in front of the emperor.
When my grandmother and father-in-law were punished and my brothers were scolded, it was the happiest time for Me and Duan Yunsheng, although I would be retaliated back tenfold later, but the happiness of that moment was real.
There is a momentary feeling that coming into this world is worth it.
It's just that most of the time, it's not worth it.

When Chinese New Year's Eve, Helian Came to me for the first time, took a bottle of wine in his hand, and asked me to drink with him.
I said I wouldn't drink, and he said I lied.
He asked me, Duan Yunsheng said that you have an amazing amount of alcohol, you can drink him, why don't you drink with me.
I laughed lightly and said helplessly: "Duan Yunsheng is a fool, every time I drink with him, I use water instead of wine, and he naturally can't drink me." ”
Helian smiled lightly and murmured a few words, which I didn't hear very clearly.
Through his drinking, I asked him why he refused to have a room with me.
Helian Stared at me for half a moment, then suddenly said, "Follow me to a place." ”
Before I could react, I was dragged out of the courtyard by him.
When we passed his bedchamber, we met Helian Yu, the only son born to Helian Yu's dead wife, the child was not very big, eleven or twelve years old, looking at the moment of disgust in my eyes, when I faced Helian Yu, he was very awe-inspiring.
"Father king..."
When I heard him shouting, Helian Huan didn't have much affection for this son, but only told him to rest early and concentrate on his homework, so he dragged me out of the palace door in a hurry.
Along the way, the lights were colorful, and everything gray and yellow suddenly had a color, and I finally felt a hint of the taste of the year.
But I never expected that on such a night, Helian Huan would actually take me to Duan Yunsheng's tomb.
Snowflakes and wind and sand pounced on my face fiercely, the moment I saw Duan Yunsheng's tombstone, I wanted to punch Helian For a moment, after all, braving such a big wind and snow was actually to see the dead, I was somewhat angry, but I didn't dare, he was the king here, I had to listen to him.
I could only look at him incomprehensibly, and then I saw him slowly crouch down, carefully brushing away the wind and sand on Duan Yunsheng's tombstone, and then pouring half of the pot of wine in front of his tomb.
He sat down against the tombstone, the lantern on the side flickered on and off with the wind and snow, and he said slowly, "He saved me." ”
I don't know so.
He added, "Ridiculous, he saved me from the Duanjiang River where I hung my body on the city wall for days and nights." ”
I was stunned, and after a brief shake of my mind, I sat down next to him.
In the Battle of Aoki River, everyone knew that Duan Yunsheng, the god of the Great Declaration of War, almost captured helian Shu, the lord of the Northern Liang Kingdom, but no one knew that this general, on the battlefield where you died and I died, saved his enemy.
It sounded very joking, but Helian Huan's expression was very serious, and he said to me: "You may not think that I, a man who grew up in the desert, did not even have a Central Plains person, and could clearly see the direction of the quicksand." ”
In that war, in the end, only two men trapped in the wind and sand were left, and the strong desire to win or lose made each other refuse to admit defeat, so they were wrapped up in the wind and sand to a place they did not know, helian Originally thought that such a bad terrain and environment, Duan Yunsheng only left a share of begging for forgiveness.
But he did not want to, the general was at ease, he was indeed a little proud, but not careless, but the creation always made people, and drowned people who could swim.
When he was swept in by the quicksand as the horse was swept in, it was Duan Yunsheng who struggled to wrap his long whip around him and used the strength of one man and one horse to pull him out.
The two people who were extremely tired, unable to care about the others, lay side by side on the yellow sand, watching the sky, the moon and the stars twinkling together.
There was only one horse left, and when Duan Yunsheng let Helian Get on the horse, Helian was a little embarrassed, but it was more important to save his life, so he got on the horse.
Helian Told me that that night was the night he felt most free, he had no friends since he was a child, the people around him were either servants or enemies, Duan Yunsheng, the enemy who could only die with him in fate, but let him feel friendship briefly.
At that time, as an emperor, he didn't have to worry about what he could say and what he couldn't say, and Duan Yunsheng didn't have to worry about himself as a big Xuanren, and he couldn't ask him about the scenery outside the Jade Gate.
At that moment, they were just themselves, briefly and enthusiastically feeling their own lives.
"It was one of the most meaningful moments of my short life." Helian Said this to me, and then he looked at me again, "You are his favorite person, I promised him that he would take good care of you, and I would never let you be wronged." Although you are my wife, you are not my sweetheart after all, and I will not touch you. ”
I was silent for a long time before I said, "I see." ”
5
Hua Rong watched me hide the white powder in my fingers, and then said, "It's been three months, and although he doesn't come to see you much, he's very good to you." ”
I shook my head a little, looking at my fingers in a daze.
The puppy suddenly barked a few times, pulling me back from the wandering, I picked up its soft body, while touching its back, while saying: "I am also the princess of Daxuan, he is not good to me, I can't say it." ”
Hua Rong sneered, "I just remind you, don't forget your own task, so as not to be carried away by something." ”
I smiled and looked up at her: "What kind of person am I, don't you know?" ”
Hua Rong paused and sneered, "But like this wolf cub in your arms, you can't raise it well." ”
Oh yes, the puppy is not a dog, it's a wolf.
The night I returned from Duan Yunsheng's tomb with Helian, I encountered it halfway through, small, soft, weak-called, nestled in a sand pile covered with snow, and a pair of eyes emitted a strange light.
I saved it.
I still remember that it was too cold that night, I couldn't stand the weather, my feet were frostbitten and I couldn't walk. Helian Washun carried me on his back, and I held the wolf cub I had just saved in my arms, afraid that it would be pressed down, so I placed it on Helian's neck.
Helian Yu stopped and looked at me, and then said, "If Duan Yunsheng hadn't endorsed you, what you did would have been enough for you to die a hundred times." ”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and said slowly, "Thank you so much." ”
Helian was helpless and walked back with me one deep and one shallow.
In the midst of the raging wind and snow, I added softly, "I'm sorry, Duan Yunsheng." ”
Back in the palace, Helian Yu planned to send the wolf cubs to the wolf training house in the palace, but I didn't want to, I said I wanted to raise myself.
Helian was afraid that it would grow up and hurt people, and I used the human head to guarantee that it would not, but he had no choice but to let me keep it.
I named it Puppy, and Helian was puzzled, explaining several times that he was a wolf, and I was still puppy and puppy.
Perhaps the wolf cub was grateful to me for saving his life, showing great enthusiasm for the word puppy, and seeing that he agreed to it, I confirmed the name to Helian again.
He shook his head and smiled and agreed to me.
It was the first time I'd seen him smile from the heart, and the smile was beautiful.
The puppy licked my palm, and I looked back, and Hua Rong handed me the boiled lotus seed soup and said, "Go and deliver the porridge, once every seven days, it's time." ”
I nodded, and the puppy jumped away knowingly, and I took the porridge and walked to Helian's bedchamber.
He didn't eat much of what I sent before, saying that the taste was not right, I tried many times, basically to no avail, only this lotus seed soup, he did not resist, every time he would eat clean.
Later, I only sent this one.
There was an attendant outside the dormitory who took the instrument to test the poison, and after the test, he was allowed to send it in, and he flicked the medicine from his fingers into the porridge, and I handed it to Helian Huan without changing my face.
He looked at me, poured me a cup of tea, and went on reading the paperwork.
As I was leaving, I heard a small cough from him again.
Back in the dormitory, Hua Rong cleaned my hands for me and questioned why most of the medicine in my finger seams was still left, and I was confused by the words that I was afraid that Helian Huan would find out.
He was the only person besides Duan Yunsheng who was good to me, and I didn't want him to die so soon.
Outside the Jade Gate, it is always gray and abrupt, even if there is a little greenery, once the wind blows, it is still full of dust and sand, and you can't feel the slightest sense of spring.
I hid from everyone and went to Duan Yunsheng's tombstone, and I asked him if he hated me.
No one answered me, only the puppy howled a few times.
I thought of many things by relying on his tombstone, remembering that at that time, the two of us were forced to follow the princes to hunt in autumn, but we were deliberately left on the mountain, in order to pick fruit to fill our hunger, Duan Yunsheng climbed up the tree, but was bitten by the snake on the tree, fell from the tree, and broke his leg.
I was often injured with him, and I knew a little about first aid, so it was good to deal with it in time and did not let him die. However, in the situation at that time, we really didn't think we could return to the palace alive.
But I always didn't believe in evil, and the strong resentment and hatred in my heart supported me, almost dragging him all the way out of the forest, and before fainting, I saw my grandmothers looking for us at the foot of the mountain.
How funny, no one would go into the mountains and forest to take a look.
Since then, Duan Yunsheng has been grateful for my life-saving grace, and I said that it didn't matter, but in my heart I always felt that he deserved to reciprocate.
So, all along, I have naturally enjoyed his care for me.
As a result, when my father and emperor first asked me and The Pro-Nan Man, Duan Yunsheng stopped the great hall and made a life and death statement, saying that if he took the Jade Gate Pass, he implored my father to take back his life.
My father did not want to pay any attention to him, and even wanted to kill him with the following crimes, but it was Wu Taifu who argued on the basis of reason and vouched for him, and my father gave him a chance and also gave me a chance.
I don't know who the princess who married Nan Man was in the end, I just know that Duan Yunsheng rode to the northwest for me.

In the weather in March, the sun was not very intense, I leaned on Duan Yunsheng's tombstone, and I ate a mouthful of sand with one mouth, so I had to shut up.
It's just that I never thought that the Northern Liang I was once terrified of was the most carefree and free time in my life.
I have some admiration for Helian, who is the absolute king here, who rules everything here, and as long as I hide behind him, any wind, frost, rain and snow in front of me will not fall on my head.
I unconsciously wanted to be close to him, to rely on him, but he seemed to be forever polite to me, we almost never slept in the same bed, he was like an eagle that never stopped hunting, always spreading its wings high in the air.
Therefore, although the life is easy, it is somewhat boring.
So much so that I always think of Duan Yunsheng.
The warm weather made me a little sleepy, confused and about to fall asleep, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of me, and I quickly woke up.
Before he could apologize, Hua Rong stared at Duan Yunsheng's tombstone and asked, "Lin Gu, do you regret it?" ”
I hadn't heard this name for a long time, I was a little shaken, looking at Hua Rong in front of me, I almost forgot that she also grew up with me and Duan Yunsheng.
I stood up, patted the sand on my body, and blurted out, "It doesn't make sense." ”
After no regrets, there is no point.
Hua Rong sneered and continued, "My brother has news from there, we want to speed up the action, three years is too long, as far as two years." ”
I hesitated for a long time before asking Hua Rong, "Do you hate me?" ”
Some of the answers were not asked, but Hua Rong understood it, and she grabbed me by the collar: "If it weren't for the overall situation, I would definitely kill you with my own hands!" ”
Hua Rong's back was getting farther and farther away, and I remembered the day she handed Duan Yunsheng a love letter, the magpies outside the window chirped, and she walked over to Duan Yunsheng, who was standing under the tree, and handed her handkerchief, which was embroidered with a pair of Mandarin ducks, which read: In Heaven wish to be compared to a winged bird.
Although she is a bridesmaid, she rarely enters the palace several times, and every time she has to stick to us, causing his brother to find it easy. Every time I teased her, she didn't react much, except that on the day of the handkerchief, her face was as red as the clouds in the sky.
Duan Yunsheng rejected her, which I expected, because I always knew that Duan Yunsheng liked me.
He had many opportunities to leave the palace, and Wu Taifu had great expectations of him, and countless times recommended him to the emperor to invite him to join the army and lead the army, but Duan Yunsheng was unwilling, and his father did not agree.
Duan Yunsheng always told me that if he left and left me alone to suffer, he couldn't bear it.
His father died in Jiangbei because Duan Yunsheng's only brother-in-law died, and he did not want Duan Yunsheng to bury his life on the frontier.
Duan Yunsheng wanted to take me out of the palace with him, and at the end of the world, he was no longer subject to people.
But I don't.
I am a man of retribution, and I must stomp on all those who bully me.
For this, we had many fights.
I tried my best to please the favored queen concubine, so that she would raise me under her knees, but I didn't want everyone to calculate, and when I thought I had succeeded, a letter of edict beat me back to my original form.
Most of the people in the palace are pawns, and so am I.
I know this very well, but I still want to make myself the one who is sure, but I look up to myself.
The moment I received the edict, I suddenly felt very tired.
So I went to Duan Yunsheng, asked him if he regretted knowing me, and asked me how much he loved me.
Duan Yunsheng did not answer me, he just stopped the hall alone, set up a military order, and used his life and freedom to win a glimmer of life for me.
But the good times did not last long, and the news of his collaboration with the enemy and treason suddenly reached the hands of my father, who at that time was besieged on all sides, tired of fighting, and when Duan Yunsheng betrayed, he had no choice but to declare a truce and peace with Northern Liang.
My father and emperor only put forward one condition, but whenever Beiliang agreed, he agreed to cut the land and kiss him.
That condition was to show Duan Yunsheng to the public to set an example.
Duan Yun's life and death were tragic, how could Hua Rong not hate me.
7
Helian Was a gentleman, and he did what he said, and although the two of us seemed to respect each other as guests, he never exceeded the rules.
I saw him very few times, although I sent lotus soup every seven days, but I rarely saw him, most of them only put things down and folded back, and a few times I felt bored, so I took the lotus seed soup back together.
When Duan Yunsheng died, I met him in front of the tombstone, but after a year, he had aged a lot, his cough had become more and more serious, and his eyebrows were full of exhaustion.
He took me to the Red Willow Forest again, which had expanded a lot, and I asked him if there was anything he particularly wanted to do but didn't do.
He nodded, but his voice carried some vicissitudes: "I have been tired of my homeland in my life, and I have long-cherished wishes in my life, only by knowing and making friends and going to the end of the world." ”
I was startled, frightened by the puppy in my arms, and it suddenly barked.
Helian Turned his head to look at me for a long time before he said, "This is not a good place, one day, if you can go back, you will go back." ”
I looked at him doubtfully, and he patted me on the shoulder: "Your ambition is not so, but the third princess, the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, sometimes, the wisdom is mistaken by the clever, I hope you cherish." ”
Looking at the back of Helian Xun's departure, I hugged the puppy in my arms tightly, this weather is really cold.
Helian Yu no longer ate the lotus seed soup I made, I don't know if he found anything, I went to look for him, only once in ten times I could see him, he always had words in his words, and his eyes looked at me more and more indifferently.
In the second Chinese New Year's Eve, I asked him through the wine, "Will you like me?" ”
He was silent for a long time before he said, "Third Princess, people must be content." ”
Perhaps it was this sentence that consumed my last goodwill.
Out of the first month, Helian Xun's body was very bad, he was only in his early thirties, but his body was like an old man with a candle in the wind.
I could hear his fierce coughing from outside the temple, and when I entered the temple, I saw that he was still slumped and looking at the paperwork, and Helian Yu was sitting next to him and pouring tea for him.
Helian Yu has come a little more these days, and Helian Yu does not resist, but is like a loving father, and many things are told to him one by one.
His mother died early, and Helian Washu was only an only son, so naturally he was very important to him.
He had always been hostile to me, and soon after I entered, I was driven back by Helian Yu, who came out with me, and he withdrew left and right, walking with me one after the other.
Although he was young, he was very old.
When I reached a secluded place, I stopped, looked back at him, and smiled: "Why are they all grasshoppers on a rope now, and they are still so hostile to me?" ”
His fist on his chest clenched tightly, and only then did he let go of it: "I hope you mean what you say, otherwise I will die a powerful ghost and can't spare you." ”
I approached him and smiled, "Whether the sins of poisoning and killing my father will survive to the future, I don't know yet, little friend." ”
He became more and more angry, and reached out to grab me by the collar, and I patted him on the shoulder: "Your father's heart and king's heart have long been lost, but when you go with the flow of heaven, what are you afraid of?" ”
Helian Yu gritted his teeth and left.
I turned around, and Hua Rong stood behind me: "Your sins are hard to repay." ”
I sighed and said helplessly, "Which one was not what you told me to do?" ”
Hua Rong suddenly raised his voice, "I didn't let you harm Duan Yunsheng!" I didn't ask you to take the letter that Duan Yunsheng gave you to go to the emperor! I have not let you use the things on the letter to spread the word and accuse him of collaborating with the enemy and treason! ”
"Lin Gu, do you think that in this world, there is anyone in this world who is more cruel than you?"

Duan Yunsheng would write to me, two letters a month, and all his life on the frontier, no matter how big or small, counted one by one, including, of course, his relationship with Helian Yu, half friend and half enemy.
Helian Said Duan Yunsheng was his only confidant, and for Duan Yunsheng, Helian was the same.
They had seen not only when Aoki River was there, but they had seen it many times since, and when there was a truce, they sneaked out, took two bottles of good wine, found a secluded place, and got drunk.
They would say a lot of things, and Duan Yunsheng would put the things he found most interesting in his letter and comfort me.
At that time, because of Duan Yunsheng's sake, I became the most useful pawn in the palace, and my treatment status was improved a lot, and the imperial brothers did not dare to bully me at will anymore, and my father and emperor could finally see me.
But he was suspicious.
Because of his suspicions, he was able to persecute the sages to death, and he did not believe anyone, nor did his own children.
He was very jealous of Duan Yunsheng, because Wu Taifu held Duan Yunsheng too high, and Qin Tianjian always said that his fate was strange and he was afraid of extraordinary people.
I asked him every day for peace, and he would ask me every day if Duan Yunsheng was credible.
Slowly I understood what he meant, and he needed me to find a reason for him to kill Duan Yunsheng in name only, because he was afraid that Duan Yunsheng would take his place.
I was unwilling at first, I had always been unwilling, but Duan Yunsheng sent a wrong letter, which made me change my mind.
Perhaps even Helian Huan did not know that Duan Yunsheng had written a letter to him before he was killed.
He wrote: If he is too old to go, Ah Gu still refuses to go with me, and you are no longer tired of the country, we will know each other and go to the end of the world, and I will take you to see the brightest spring in the Central Plains.
This letter was never finished, but I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night, how could my Duan Yunsheng want to leave me? I haven't put the bully on my feet yet, how can he leave me!
He can't! He must not!
I went to my father and asked him what he could give me if he could do what he wanted, and my father asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted the throne.
His sword crossed my neck, and I chuckled, "It's a slip of the tongue, I want you to posthumously honor my mother-in-law and change her identity." ”
My father, who did not smile, suddenly laughed, and he pinched my chin and laughed, "You are indeed like me, rotten to the root." ”
I didn't say another word.
If Duan Yunsheng will no longer accompany me, then power must be my last desire.
I handed over to my father and emperor the letters that he had plucked out of his heart and lungs, and then the news of Duan Yunsheng's collaboration with the enemy and treason shocked the government and the opposition in an instant, and Wu Taifu committed suicide by leading himself, and the old general Duan vomited blood and fainted.
When the news of the killing of Duan Yunsheng reached the border pass, Duan Yunsheng had just fought a victorious battle, and he rode back to the camp on horseback, but was stopped at the entrance.
The former comrade-in-arms suddenly became an enemy who wanted to take his life, and Duan Yunsheng did not know, so he fled in panic.
When he was cornered, it was Helian who saved him.
Therefore, he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and on the way from Da Xuan to come and kiss him, I heard a lot of filthy words about him.
How ridiculous, how terrible.

Helian's birthday was in May, the sun was fierce, the puppy had grown into a big wolf, it followed me, I have been a fox and a tiger, no one dares to come near me.
I took the puppy to celebrate Helian's birthday, and he sat on the bed, and when he saw me, his eyes were a little complicated.
I reached out and tucked the quilt for him, and he stopped me, and he asked me, "Can you take good care of Helian Yu?" ”
I was stunned.
He said word by word: "You dragged the child into the water, how did you use it up and throw it away?" ”
I suddenly didn't dare look up at him.
"As soon as I die, the royal family will be in turmoil, those few have long been rebellious, I only have this one son, since you use me, you should also give back some, right?"
I hesitated for a long time before I said, "You know what? ”
He chuckled, "How could you not know?" My relationship with Duan Jianghe, he only wrote to you, who revealed the news to The Great Xuanwang, why should I think about it more? ”
I was a little confused so, looking blankly at him.
He continued laughing: "You wouldn't be unaware, would you?" Duan Jianghe died next to me, and before he died, he told me a lot. ”
My heart suddenly suffocated, and a dense dull pain suddenly crawled all over my body, and it was cold in an instant.
"Duan Jianghe didn't know why you wanted to hurt him when he was dying, and why you wanted to use such a vicious way, so I've always been wary of you."
My stomach rolled over, and I felt extremely nauseous in an instant, and I rushed out of the house and almost threw out my heart, liver, spleen and lungs in the grass.
Immediately after that, I fainted.
When he woke up, Helian sat next to me, and he had some difficulty getting up, and when he saw that I was awake, he somewhat staggered and poured me a glass of water.
"Your mind is really wonderful, killing Duan Yunsheng, collaborating with the enemy and all kinds of rumors have alienated my relationship with the Qunchen, if not, where can I fall to such a point?"
I took the tea and was a little calm.
"You can kill me on the first day I came to save my life." I say so.
But he said, "If it works, why should I not do it, and besides..."
He did not continue, I simply opened the door: "Pass the throne to Helian Yu, surrender to The Great Xuan, be a vassal state, I can guarantee that you will survive." ”
Helian Stared at me for half a moment, and then said, "There is no fear of death, but there are many regrets, but there is nothing I can do." ”
I sneered, "You regret that too?" After all, what's the difference between you and me? Didn't you kill Duan Yunsheng? ”
Helian Was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I have always been wary of you, but I can't guard against my son, and the separation of his wife and daughter is actually my fate." Maybe as you say, I'm just like you, and it's my retribution. ”
I closed my eyes, "As long as you cooperate with Helian Yuken, the world is big and has everything." ”
He shook his head: "Third Princess, it's useless to say more." ”
I looked at him and followed the silence.
Duan Yunsheng's collaboration with the enemy and treason was not only that he was greatly criticized in Daxuan, but also that he had lost the trust of most officials in Beiliang, and they took the opportunity not to know how many times the yin and yang were strange, fortunately, Helian Huan had always been in power, and he had struggled for more than a year, and finally he was defeated by his son.
When he knew that it was his son who had been poisoned, he seemed to have given up on himself a little, as if he had collapsed in an instant.
He and Duan Yunsheng, one was made by me to leave only a name for eternity, and the other was betrayed by me.
If I had wanted to celebrate it before, I can't be happy now.

Helian Yan's life entered the countdown, I asked Hua Rong to talk outside the palace, and I asked her if she regretted coming here to suffer with me.
Her expression was a little dismissive: "But the emperor's fate is difficult, who rarely follows you?" ”
I didn't say a word, she continued, "But you are really powerful, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, now I just need to solve Helian As soon as possible, and everything will be fine." ”
I was silent for half a moment and said, "What if I won't?" ”
She said: "Now that the overall situation is established, why do you have to make a play for others to see, don't disgust people." ”
I thought about it for a long time, asked her to accompany me to a place, and when I came back, I did it.
I should have known that she reacted like this, after all, she was my father's dowry attendant, and I sold Duan Yunsheng's matter but won the trust of my father's seven points, and the remaining three points he let Hua Rong supervise me.
Hua Rong likes Duan Yunsheng, she will definitely not cover me, this is the reason why the father chose her.
However, although Hua Rong hated me very much, she was unexpectedly not suspicious of me, so that when I pushed her off the cliff, her face was full of shock, and she didn't even have time to say a dirty word.
I always remember that the moon on this night was so bright that I could clearly see the incredible in Hua Rong's eyes.
She knew so much that I couldn't keep her.
Helian Yu stood not far behind me, the expression on his face was indifferent that did not belong to this age, I looked at the puppy crouching next to me, thought for a long time to untie its rope, wanted to release it.
It did not leave, and followed Me and Helian Yu back to the palace.
Helian Yu and I sat in Helian Yu's bedroom, staring at him writing the edict of succession, but he did not resist, as if he had written it many times in his mind, and wrote it out one by one.
Helian Yu looked at the edict and wept in a low voice, and Helian Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Since you chose to do this, you must do it well, understand?" ”
Helian Yu couldn't cry in an instant.
This child bore everything that should not be borne by him, the Northern Liang Qunchen was plotting rebellion overtly and covertly because of Duan Yunsheng, and if Helian Yu did not act, he and his father and king would only have a dead end.
If he wanted to protect himself, he could only cut off his father and gain the trust of his subjects, otherwise even if it was passed on to him, he would be just a master who was pinched.
However, this child was in the end the son of Helian Yu, and his mind was deep enough and fierce enough, and while he was trying to please the courtiers, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, so he conspired with the tiger and found me.
I said that if you really had a heart, you would poison your father for me, and I would believe it, and although he hesitated, he finally agreed.
Helian Yan's body was getting worse and worse, and there was no breath, and all the courtiers were waiting for him to die, but he did not complain, it was regret.
I regret not seeing the spring outside the Jade Gate, regretting that no one can get drunk with him anymore, and regretting that when he is exhausted, no one will save him.
I asked him, but there was something left for me, he shook his head, I asked him if he could remember the last words Duan Yunsheng left for him, he stumbled and said a Northern Liang dialect that I couldn't understand.
I could see clearly the last tear he had left, and reached out to help him wipe it off.
After the news of the northern liang changing lords and suddenly announcing that he had surrendered to the Great Propaganda and wished to be a vassal state came out overnight, many places were in disarray.
Hua Wu came to pick me up with an army, and after Duan Yun's death, he took over Duan Yunsheng's military post and became the general of Zhenbei of Daxuan. After a brief greeting with Helian, he asked me about his sister Hua Rong, and I cried that I had not been saved from falling into quicksand, and he was stunned for a moment, and he did not ask more.
Helian Yu followed me and Hua Wu to Daxuan to personally hand over the surrender letter, and Northern Liang was temporarily guarded by the old ministers and Daxuan's army.
Entering the Central Plains, Helian Yu, who had always been silent, suddenly sighed and said, "It turns out that people like you were born in such a beautiful place." ”

When I returned to Jingmiansheng, the father and emperor, whom I had not seen for a long time, showed great affection to me, and he asked me to hand over the military power of Northern Liang, and I agreed, but I needed to persuade Helian Yu to hope that he would give me time.
Naturally, he agreed.
Now these people were no longer enough for him to be afraid, and the Duan Yunsheng and Helian Helian that he feared the most had become a piece of yellow earth, and there was no longer any threat.
But he never expected that I would secretly collude with Hua Wu HuaRong and send batches of troops to the capital in the two years that I went to Beiliang, disguised as merchants, without arousing any suspicion.
When Hua Wu and I beheaded my father-in-law who was accompanied by my father-in-law in front of him, his eyes revealed unparalleled trepidation, and it was the first time I had seen him like this.
Da Xuan fought wars year after year, the people suffered terribly, he was suspicious and suspicious, the courtiers complained, and all the anti-hearts did not arise for a while.
And in order to avenge, I personally killed my brothers, even if Jiangshan changed his surname, I was bound to pull them down.
I did it.
When Hua Wu ascended the throne, he promised to make me empress.
That was the identity of my heart, the existence that dominated life and death in the harem, and I returned to the courtyard full of memories of me and Duan Yunsheng and told him that I had done it, and I had done it.
Married for two years, her husband Died tragically at home, and she should have been filial to her, but she was admitted to the palace and was crowned as a queen
The only thing that answered me was the sound of the wind.
Suddenly, I was a little sad.
It took a lot of time to deal with the "remnants of the former dynasty", and Helian Yu was also suppressed and could not go back, he was a child in the end, and he was worried about it, afraid that there was no possibility of going back.
I advised him to rest assured, now that this place is proclaimed, there is nothing I can't do, I let you live, you will not die.
But I never expected that on the day of the canonization ceremony, Hua Rong actually appeared at the canonization site, which was the first time I was so flustered.
Hua Rong sat in a wheelchair, looked at me, and told me how I had harmed Duan Yunsheng, how I had poisoned Helian, how I had pushed the cliff she had fallen, and how I had persecuted those courtiers who refused to submit, and she had taken out the letter that Duan Yunsheng had written to me, and Helian Yu had become her witness.
I looked at Helian Yu in amazement, he was staring at me, his eyes looked like a snake full of poison.
I forgot that Helian Yu was never a simple child, but he was a person who grew up around Helian Yu.
I became a sinner almost instantaneously, and those who had befriended Wu Taifu pounded their chests and cursed me, and Helian Yu, who was bent on letting Helian die, asked me why I wanted to kill his father and king with a snot and a handful of tears!
I was full of mouths and could not argue, so I had to ask Hua Wu for help, but Hua Wu pointed at me and asked me to give him an explanation, why did I kill his sister!
I suddenly understood that I was doing sets, and others were also making sets, and I thought I was smart, but I was just smart.
Yes, how Hua Wu would leave me, what kind of person I am, he couldn't have been clearer.
Helian Was right, the one who counts people always counts, it is so.

After the court settled down, Hua Wu decided to execute me in public, but Helian Yu asked to take me back to Beiliang to execute me personally and give an explanation to his father.
Hua Rong interceded for him, Hua Wuxin took office, not to make many enemies, left me a sinner, and sold him a face.
The prison cart is no better than a flower car, and when you come and go, you see a different scenery.
I went back in June, and when I came back, it was the spring of the following year.
Helian Yu did not treat me too harshly, but he also expected me to die as soon as possible, and on the second day after returning to the city, without waiting for everything to be stable, he issued a notice to shoot me.
There were a lot of people who joined in the fun, and I looked at them and thought it was funny.
Helian Yu took me to the execution site, but he did not choose to execute me publicly, and only took an entourage with him and carried a bow and arrow on his back.
I sat on my knees on the ground, my mind was blank, my life of suffering was only a few days of glory, how to make people willing.
I wanted to persuade Helian Yu not to kill me, and I could help him swallow Da xuan and show his ambitions.
But he asked me, "Do you know what Elder Brother Duan finally said to my father?" ”
I shook my head, but my heart suddenly fell silent.
He said slowly, "Elder Brother Duan told my father, 'Only when I die, can you make a condition with Da Xuan and take the Third Princess over.' If the third princess can really come and kiss her, you will definitely take good care of her for me, she is my most beloved girl. ’”
I suddenly felt like someone had pinched my neck, struggling but unable to breathe, my hands and feet were sore, and I couldn't lift any strength.
He looked at me and continued, "Uncle Duan can run, he didn't, he committed suicide, and hanging the body at the city gate is also his own idea, first, so that the father and king can make a reasonable and well-founded request to your father and emperor, and second, let my father and king temporarily be angry." ”
"He's a good guy."
After Helian Yu said this, he turned and left, leaving me crying in the same place.
Scenes of trivial matters from the past flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered what Duan Yunsheng said to me.
He said, "Ah, I am willing to die for you." ”
Dead also...
willing......
Suddenly, a feather arrow came through the air and shot into my heart, and I suddenly lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, it was late at night, and when I opened my eyes, I felt the footsteps of animals around me, and I quickly met the green and gloomy eyes above.
I don't know exactly where this is, maybe it's a mass grave where the criminals are buried, or something else.
The wound in my chest was a bone-eating pain, I was even breathing slightly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I opened my mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.
His head was dizzy and his breathing was getting harder.
"Puppy." I shouted with all my might.
Soon a wolf approached me swiftly, and it licked at my wrist, and I recognized it, and sure enough it was my puppy.
I cried with joy.
In the next instant, it suddenly clenched its grip on my arm and tore it vigorously, and the huge pain invaded in an instant, and I couldn't believe it.
But animals are animals after all, and animals are not mature in the end.
A moment before I lost consciousness, I suddenly thought, if everyone knew the truth about Duan Yunsheng's being framed by me, would they feel guilty because of the misunderstanding they had had? Or cheers for my death.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
I only hope that Duan Yunsheng, in the next life, will not meet me again.
