Twilight collected

Chapter 17 Coral

Coming out of the storm room, I saw the morning light gradually rising, and the clear breeze shook the forest and passed by;

The endgame is not yet over, there are bones and devastation on Gongzhong Road.The carved public flags are covered, and there is a large courtyard, but it is hidden behind a gloomy armor light.The army has not yet retreated, and outside the Yaozhuo Palace, there are still heavy guards and strict defenses.

Because of worrying about you, Hanxuan didn't intend to go to Tianque, and Xixi saw that because he was a retainer, he was a director in Yaozhuo Palace, so it might as well for a while.Hanxuan was concerned, so he also sent Zhiyu to Xizuixuan alone.

"October Xiaochun, the fragrance here is still there, and the fragrance is fresh. It's really a beautiful scenery." Han Xuan pushed the door into the hall, but there was no attendant. Lan Ze was sitting in the hall alone, with his breasts covered. Although the meat is not too big, it is also shocking to see.Hanxuan understands that when the enemy is in front of him, Emperor Qi dare not use food and drink lightly, only this method can hit him with a single blow.

Lan Ze looked back and smiled a little: "It's just a sad place. I'm no luckier than you."

Hanxuan changed his look of empathy, and held his hands and said: "If you want you to self-mutilate your body and help me accomplish things, I really feel ashamed of you."

Lan Ze's expression was light: "I'm just perfecting myself. I'm also relieved when he dies, and I can be quiet in the future."

Hanxuan smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty's decree says that you have made great contributions to the country, and you are allowed to marry outside. Your good life is still promising, so don't try to be quiet early."

Lan Ze was noncommittal: "It's rare for everything to be perfect. As long as I marry someone else, I can enjoy your kindness and love, and I can sit back and relax? I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome, and there will be endless troubles."

Hanxuan heard the words, his expression was also cold and silent, and he said slowly: "I know what you mean, in order to restrain the Xi family, I advised the emperor to marry that Ji Lihong to Wei Rang to make him lighter. Now the husband is convicted and restrained , sluggish, the wives and concubines in the family are in groups, the chickens and dogs are restless, it is really my fault." But at this point, Han Xuan changed his expression slightly, and said briskly, "Fortunately, I heard that Zhiyuan and Qingrui are a harmonious couple. You are kind and affectionate. If you wish, you can also call the two of you back to the palace to serve."

Lan Ze didn't seem to be paying attention to what he said, but murmured: "Pray for the emperor... His Majesty gave him a posthumous title."

"Yes. Your Majesty wants to have a big funeral according to the system, and have a luxurious burial, so as to block the mouths of the world."

Lan Ze nodded: "Since the person has gone, it is insignificant. There is one thing, you should pay attention to it. In order to prevent accidents, I had someone keep a close eye on the people in the harem, and the palace people came to report this morning. The concubine Xiu probably fled while taking advantage of the chaos. , has disappeared."

Han Xuan's heart tightened, but because he was overwhelmed with so many thoughts, he was unable to think about these little pawns, so he just said: "The inner palace has changed hands, and the affairs are complicated. I will study this matter in detail when I have time."

A few eagle chimes came from their ears, and the two fell silent.At this moment, Zhi Yu hurried into the palace, gave a deep salute, slightly flustered, and said to the two of them: "My lord, my lord, the water in the palace is cut off."

Han Xuan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to reveal his feelings easily, he just asked: "What's going on?"

Zhi Yu reported back: "Today that man got down the Nine Nether Pillar, and he went on a killing spree, repelling all the hundred people who drew water. There were heavy casualties under the Pillar. No one pushed the wheel, and the water in the palace was cut off."

Hanxuan said calmly: "You go back to Your Majesty, I will come right away." Seeing Zhiyu's departure, Hanxuan replied, "Some people in the palace are busy, I will take my leave first, and your empress will take good care of herself."

Leaving Xizuixuan, Hanxuan passed on the frame and hurried to Yaozhuo Palace.

He entered the gate of the palace only after being heavily armored.In the hall, Xi Jian had already knelt aside, and Tian Que was sitting on the hall, with angry eyes.

Hanxuan's face was tender, and he said to Xixi: "You bring the sinner, Your Majesty wants to see him. Then inform Hu Cao, and lead some livestock to the Jiuyou pillar, the water in the palace cannot be broken."

Seeing the creek coming out of the palace, Hanxuan said to Tianque: "Your Majesty has something to say first, let him see his own good fortune. Now his life should not be terminated, it is God's will." I am really not the person's fault, but I did something wrong. If I don't come, how can I enter the palace? How can I pass by his place and get acquainted with him? After all, it was me who missed his life."

Seeing Han Xuan hurting himself, Tian Que felt soft-hearted, and couldn't bear to say: "You don't need to blame yourself. If you are wrong, then what about me?"

Hearing Tianque calling himself "Zhen", Hanxuan's heart ached slightly, the person in front of him was no longer the person who watched the rainy night and talked together, and acted together.From then on, all the gentle and precious feelings had to be kept in Narouke Pavilion.

When he came back to his senses, Han Xuan regained his composure, and said in a low voice: "The Nine Nether Pillars have existed since the founding of the country, and they are truly horrific. Now that they are no longer usable, it is better to abolish this torture, and there will be less injustice."

Tianque pondered for a moment, then let go and said: "What you said is reasonable. So I ordered Gong Cao to come and inspect it to see if it is possible to open a spring to divert water from the mountain, and save a lot of trouble."

While the two were talking, Xi Jian had already brought Cai'er.Cai'er was wearing a black palace gown, he was still profusely sweating and panting.There is still blood on his face, it is not known whether it is because of killing the enemy last night, or because he was injured by the beast just now.

Qian'er glanced at Han Xuan, Han Xuan shook his head slightly with eyebrows fixed, and finally, full of unwillingness, Qian'er knelt down at the bottom of the steps.

"You are guilty!" Tianque's words were plain and tired, and his words did not seem to be reprimanding, "You hijacked the palace, intending to kill the king, and hurt the dragon's body; How should this be dealt with?"

Xie'er was proud and unyielding, and he refused to give in, but said categorically: "The matter has come to this point, but it is up to you to deal with it, and it is up to you to listen to it."

Seeing that the two were confronting each other, Han Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Today's incident is all because of the misfortune of my minister. You have saved my minister from danger twice, and I have the grace of life. I must ask Your Majesty three times. What's more, Mr. Lang It's intentional, I don't know that the concubine has already taken care of herself."

Tianque's face was like still water, and he asked after a while: "You should understand Hanxuan's intentions after hearing what he said."

Cai'er's heart felt like a knife when he heard it, he just gritted his teeth and answered: "Yes."

Tianque Fang said slowly: "In order to avoid regrets in Han Xuan's heart, it is also to show you that you have nothing to fear in front of me. From today onwards, there is no one like you in the world who has rescued the cold twice The person who was placed in the thief's hands was named Lei Sui'an, and he was his mother's elder brother. Major events are determined, and rewards should be discussed for meritorious deeds. If you look at his performance, you can be named a captain of Jiucheng. Wei Rang Zhuqing already has another Arrangement, Xiao Yu is entangled in all kinds of things, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to face the mask, so you should be under his command and see the aftermath."

Han Xuan didn't expect Tian Que to be like this, and only looked at Tian Que earnestly.Tian Que's eyes did not move slightly, and he said sonorously: "I want you to understand, this is how I treat Han Xuan."

Han Xuan's heart was overwhelmed, and he replied shallowly: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. I will send him away from the palace immediately."

Tian Que didn't take it seriously, picked up the folded book at hand, and casually flipped through it, ignoring the two of them.Hanxuan then helped Qian'er, left Yaozhuo Palace, and was temporarily placed in the palace chief's office.

The leader of the palace is narrow, only one room, Hanxuan sent out all the palace staff, brought medicinal wine, and carefully wiped the wound for Kai'er.

Han Xuan didn't dare to show any intention of getting close, but asked in the usual tone: "How did you get into the palace?"

Cai'er, who is now called Sui'an, has a dejected look on his face after this incident: "That day when I rescued you in the mountains, those people finally came to the door. I was defeated alone, and I fled all the way and mixed into the army. Afterwards, I followed the army to attack the city. Hearing the whispers of the palace people, calling the leader of the palace as the Lei family, I suddenly realized that I was going to send you into the palace back then. I left the group and searched all over the palace to see you again."

Hanxuan was silent when he heard the words, and it took a long time to force himself to say calmly: "I will never forget your life-saving grace. It's just that the situation is like this. Now that you are in a high position, you can find a virtuous and wise person who is always beautiful."

"You don't have to be like this..." Sui'an also knew the seriousness, so he swallowed the words on his lips, and only said: "'When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win the countless people in the world.'"

Han Xuan was also sad, now that he listened to this sentence again, his wild spirit and hearty laughter that night were gone.

Not daring to say anything else, Han Xuan only said: "Remember, now you and I are brothers and sisters, and you are my biological elder brother."

Sui'an kept silent, but fortunately Zhi Yu came to tell them that the road frame was ready, and the two got up and went out. Han Xuan saw a small car and sent Sui'an away from the palace.

Since Tianque came to the throne, he first held the funeral for Emperor Qi, and then ascended the throne and practiced the throne, governed the country, pacified the criticisms of the court, and settled the generals of the four directions.When the situation settles down a little bit, the family members will be connected to Beijing from the southwest.In half a month, Tian Ruo, Liang Xun and others arrived in the jade palace.

It's a sunny day with clear skies, clouds in Boshan, red plums just blooming, fragrant and charming.The golden crown of Tianque is worn in court clothes, and stands on the steps of the palace in high spirits.Han Xuan was by his side, with a slightly pursed expression, half looking forward to, half ashamed, just waiting to meet Liang Xun.

The carriage had just entered the gate of the palace, Tian Que couldn't wait, and hurried down the palace steps.When the two got out of the car, the sky seemed to be the same as before, their complexions were as cold as autumn frost, and a red peony bloomed on their temples, which made them overwhelm others.And Liang Xun followed him, his complexion was sparse and pale, his face was like a bright moon, his demeanor was graceful and pale, and he seemed to have no worries.

Tian Que walked up to the two of them with strides, and with a happy expression on his face, he said, "You two have worked hard all the way."

If Tian Ruo just nodded, Liang Xun said bluntly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Han Xuan also came to the front of the car, with a smile on his face, he said to everyone: "The road has been full of wind and dust, Your Majesty has already prepared a good feast, let's talk about it after entering the palace."

Tian Que accompanied Tian Ruo in front, Han Xuan intentionally took a few steps late, turned around, met Liang Xun's eyes, feeling ashamed.However, Liang Xun just patted Han Xuansu's hand lightly, his face was pale, and he didn't say much.

After entering the hall, everyone took their seats one by one, but Tianque was impatient with the rules, so he said to Tianruo with great interest: "I have an imperial decree, the mother of you and me, both will be crowned queens, and my sister will naturally be the eldest princess. But the title instrument The system still needs to be determined by Li Cao."

Tian Ruo agreed with a smile, Han Xuan saw Liang Xun's gloomy eyes, and hurriedly said to Tian Que: "Your Majesty has been serving as a servant for a long time, and your Majesty has been in the camp, so I should make up for it."

Tianque thought for a moment: "Let's make her Concubine Zhao."

In an instant, everyone understood in their hearts, and Han Xuan felt autumn wind in his heart and couldn't control himself.It was Liang Xun who explained it himself, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Han Xuan refused to let it go, and pursued: "The palace and the crown, your majesty should pay attention to it."

Tianque smiled and said: "When I was in the mansion, I saw Xun'er's post, and I remembered the sentence, "Take the flowers and look back lazily, half of the monks and half of the king." Let’s go to daily life. Xun’er is delicate and elegant, and the head crown should not be ostentatious, so I took sapphire and made a Gu Pan green plum crown, which must be in line with Xun’er’s temperament.”

With such a word, everyone got up to congratulate each other, and went to the feast again.In the hall, there is another scene of colorful flowers and burning oil.

However, Hanxuan was restless, drinking too much, seeing that Liang Xun was overwhelmed by alcohol, he reported to Tian Que, and accompanied Liang Xun out of the hall.

Turning around the corridor and exiting the main hall, the two of them walked towards the rocks in the backyard.After being inaccessible, Hanxuan couldn't hold back his tears, and said earnestly: "It's my fault, I have suffered you. In the end, I was short of breath...Leaving you alone in the house, good or bad is unpredictable, and there is no one to rely on. Unlike me, if something goes wrong, there is at least a way out. I really deserve to die..."

Liang Xun was not disturbed, and An Ran said: "It's nothing, you and I have tried it, there is no movement for a second, I swim here, I feel novel and happy."

"I heard from the people in the mansion that he never slept with you. I was only afraid of your loneliness and embarrassment. I just blamed my lack of thoughtfulness and reckless actions... In the end, I didn't find out the truth, but instead taught you and me to fall into the mud. Can't get away...I'm so confused...Every time I receive a letter from you, I just feel sorry for you..."

Han Xuan wept unceasingly, with shame on his face, but Liang Xun wiped away his tears gently: "I came here only to help you. Isn't it a blessing to be able to retreat now? I didn't mean anything to him."

"If you want to go back, I can find a reason soon. If you want to stay here, you and I can make good plans."

"Let's keep it for now. I'm not satisfied with this big dream." Liang Xun forced a smile, "It's you, who is always by your side, be careful about whether it's real or not."

"Today's life is better than when the flames of war were raging. At that time, I thought that you and I could quote each other and plan ahead. I didn't want to go all the way, and there was nothing wrong with it."

"Actually..." Liang Xun frowned for a moment, "Forget it, Si Chengping and the princess have a deep relationship, and there is nothing to blame for their mutual contacts. I'm afraid I'm superstitious."

Spring goes and autumn comes, the stream is like water, and it will be the end of summer in the next year in a blink of an eye.

Tianque took over Yuque on the [-]th day of October last year. During this period, he made great efforts to govern and worked diligently on government affairs. By the spring, the three armies had been purged, the state government was prosperous, the court was peaceful, and the world was peaceful.Because of the prosperity of the country and the people's peace, the courtiers put their beaks in the internal affairs and often mentioned the matter of succession.However, in a place where no one was around, Tianque faced Hanxuan, mentioned it repeatedly, and Hanxuan declined repeatedly, so Tianque also gave up.

The Chaozhong River is clear and the sea is clear, and the inner palace is even more peaceful.If the sky bestows Julinyou Palace, he lives away from the world and seldom shows his face.Tianque is to show that he treats the widow of the emperor kindly. If the matter of the harem needs to be decided in the palace, it will be entrusted to Lan Ze.Several banquets for relatives and nobles were all hosted by Lan Ze, who can be called Tianque and gain a good reputation.

However, a concubine often shows up in public, and everyone has their own quarrels, but Liang Xun can't stand it, and shirks it several times, Tianque doesn't want to be difficult.For a long time, Liang Xun kept himself safe and lived in seclusion.Although Tianque never stayed in Gu Yuan's palace, he often called him as a companion, watching the mountains, drinking tea, and playing chess for fun. In the eyes of outsiders, this is not a desolate situation.However, Hanxuan understands the hard work involved, and only his own person can know how warm and cold he is.

Among the foreign ministers, Sui'an can be said to be on the rise.To avoid suspicion, Suian seldom sees Han Xuan face to face even though he lives in the same mansion with Han Xuan.Because of his ability, Tianque promoted Sui'an as the admiral of Nine Cities.At the same time, Xiao Yu is the general of the town, both inside and outside are British generals, but the country is as solid as gold.

Or because of the tight schedule of official duties, both Suian and Hanxuan are too busy to take care of themselves, so they can live in peace.Tianque was the most calm, and half a year later, he never asked.

At the time of Xialan, Tianque's birthday was set up in the palace. Since he was the first longevity Zichen after he ascended the throne, he wanted to make it grand and solemn to show his might. Busy with the past.

Get up early one day, lightly open the carved window, relax your hands, and see the chaotic red tiles under the Hongqiao outside the window, and you will know the arrival of autumn.

On the pavilion, Han Xuan freshened up in front of the mirror, sweeping his brows lightly.Suddenly, he heard the sound of horseshoes, and looked from a distance, only to see Suian sitting on the horse in full swing under the autumn sun.

Hanxuan felt worried, he only carelessly made up his clothes, put on a bun, and was dressed in a water-coloured palace dress, with a plum crown on his head. With a serious expression, he stepped down the small building.

"Why is brother here today?" Han Xuan's face was covered with frost and snow, and he didn't dare to show his hospitality.

"I see that you don't come back until midnight, and you get up at sunrise, I'm afraid you've worked hard. I've thought about it for a long time, and I just want to see you off." Sui'an seemed shy, and replied cautiously.

It was inconvenient for Hanxuan to make trouble, and even seeing his trembling attitude, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart: In terms of caring and caring, Tianque is not as good as Suian.However, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to take advantage of the spring breeze, he was just looking for a bitter fruit.

The two stood silent for a long time, both a little embarrassed.Han Xuan's heart softened, and he just got into the car, closed the door tightly, and let Sui'an ride the horse, take the small car, and slowly headed towards Yuque.

Above the palace road, there is a sharp bend, walking here, Hanxuan lightly lifts the curtain of the car, and sees Suian's back like a mountain, just like back then.

A ginkgo tree beside the road, with some yellow leaves, fell gracefully under the cliff.Seeing this, Hanxuan felt relieved, and saw the clear sky, the beautiful sun, the faint clouds on the Daishan Mountain, and his tiredness for several days, he also relieved a little.

When they arrived at Qionghan Gate, Suian got off his horse and wanted to help Hanxuan.Han Xuan panicked, quietly avoided, and got out of the car by himself.Looking around, seeing a few sporadic palace people, I don't feel thick clouds in my heart, I don't know how much right and wrong will happen in this scene.

Unexpectedly, Suian not only didn't know how to dodge, but also took a step forward, quickly stuffing something into Hanxuan's cuff.

Hanxuan's eyes widened, but he bumped into Sui'an with a touch of tenderness: "I have never thanked you for saving your life. I have been looking at it for many days, but this thing suits you best."

Hanxuan was angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack, so he turned around and left.Not to mention that after a few steps, Sui'an said loudly: "I like vermilion the most, it must look good on you."

Even though he became angry from embarrassment, Han Xuan didn't turn his head back, but stepped up and entered the Qionghan Gate.

Xi Jian lived in the palace and was waiting inside the gate at the moment, when he saw Han Xuan coming, he was even more angry, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, my lord?"

Han Xuan closed his expression slightly, calmed down, and said forcefully: "I'm fine."

Xi Jian didn't dare to ask further questions, but said: "Your Majesty played chess with your empress in Gu Yuan Palace last night, and it was midnight, but he still didn't stay overnight."

"You have a heart." Han Xuan lowered his eyebrows, "There are so many trivial matters in the palace, and I will inevitably be unable to do so. Your Majesty listens clearly, and you need to pay more attention."

"Yes. I will be considerate in front of the emperor."

"There is one more thing, you should do it yourself, don't make it public." Hanxuan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, Xijian took it, and immediately put it in his sleeve, "This year, your majesty will live forever, and I want to give you a short blade, most of which are decorated with pearls and jade. It’s very luxurious, I saw it many years ago, but it’s just that the world has changed and time has changed, I can’t get it again, I drew a picture, it’s almost the same, please ask the skilled craftsman in the palace to make it for me.”

When Xi saw Nuonuo, he withdrew.Hanxuan turned around the Yujin Pavilion and took out the thing in his sleeve to check it when there was no one there.

A small crown, made of red coral, the red is dull, calm and full, and the tentacles are warm.

"'The coral on the palm is not to be pitied, but it is called the sun flower." Hanxuan smiled bitterly, "This coral is not that coral. He has never read any books, so how can he know how powerful it is..."
