Chapter 84 Overturning

How Shen Xian expressed his longing for his mother is unknown. Fortunately, the final result was good. Although Shen Hui did not lift Qin Ruozhen's foot restraint order, he allowed Shen Xian to visit his mother in Kunning Palace twice a day. .

For the prince, Shen Hui still loves the prince in his heart, and he has not made an order to deal with the queen, most of it is for the sake of the prince.The current situation has comforted the young prince and made him feel a little more at ease, so what about the person who helped him share his worries behind the scenes?Shen Hui didn't want to watch Rong Yu continue to escape, so he ordered someone to pass him on duty at night. This is also the most effective way to force him to face himself now.

"You are so smart, you guessed it." Shen Hui saw him standing far away with his hands down, his attitude indifferent and alienated, and he felt a little pain in his heart, and said frankly, "I don't want you to know, let alone make you participate Among them. Do you know why?"

Without waiting for an answer, he smiled slowly again, with a very gentle tone, "You have always been a rare and clean person in my heart. I have been thinking that when I overthrow Qin Taiyue and take back all the rights, I will never use it again." If you leave the inner court and run around for me, you can always stay by my side, reading, painting, singing and chatting with me, doing whatever you like, which will not go against your will or make you feel exhausted. You say Qin Qifang Pure, in fact, you are not a pure person. I think you are the only one who is worthy of the eight characters of pure, clean and spotless."

His face and heart trembled suddenly, the words were so familiar, he remembered that they were the eight words he used to describe Ni Zan's painting when he rescued him back then.

It turned out that Shen Hui remembered it so clearly.However, the conversation between him and Qin Ruozhen that night still popped up in his mind. He also remembered what he had said, and he remembered it so clearly, but he still framed Qin Taiyue and ruined the Qin family.

Rong Yu forced a smile at him, perhaps a bit bleak, Shen Hui felt something in his heart, got up and wanted to move forward, but seeing Rong and retreating subconsciously, he stopped and asked again, "Are you afraid of me?"

It's not because of fear, but because of uncertainty, Rong and Yang did not answer.Shen Hui sighed, "I don't want you to be afraid. You may not understand that I have never regarded you as a courtier who can be used. Rong Yu, you are sensitive and transparent, and you have never asked me for anything. You know how to repay your kindness." I seldom trust a person, but I only want to trust you. In this deep palace, you are my only friend, my only confidant, you are willing to do anything for me, and I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life."

He didn't say anything about love, but expressed another layer of emotion that is no less than love and desire. The so-called scholar dies for his confidant. With this sentence alone, the emotions wandering in the bottom of his heart still slowly fermented.

"The emperor admits that this plot of treason is a frame-up design, so what about Qin Qifang, does the emperor also insist on giving him death?"

Shen Hui shook his head, "I've thought about it, I can save him, and I'm willing to do the same for you." He stopped talking, and he moved slowly, seeing that he didn't avoid it, and stood in front of him cautiously "It's just a scholar. Without family power, there can't be any disturbances. I ordered people to take him out of the imperial prison and escort him to Lingnan. If he understands this kindness, he will naturally not return to the capital. This is already I can do the best, so you will feel more comfortable?"

Although he can't make waves, he is the son of the enemy after all, so staying behind may not be a hidden danger.Shen Hui was able to do this because of his intercession. What should he do to repay such "grace"?

Shen Hui didn't force him to do anything, but just held his hand and said softly, "If you want to repay, why not spend more time with me, I feel bad, but it's not because of anything else, just because you left me in the cold It's been a long time." Seeing him frowning, he hurriedly smiled and comforted, "I have no other intentions, we are still the same as before, you stay here with me for one night, maybe I will sleep more comfortably."

Rong Yu was held more and more tightly by him, knowing that he had fallen into the trap of tenderness carefully laid by him, and that sooner or later he would be eaten away and lose the strength to fight back.Since he couldn't break free, he just smiled and said hello obediently.

In the winter of the eighth year of Tianshou, Shen Hui announced to the world that the Qin family had rebelled.

Under the nest, the eggs are finished.

The only one who survived was Qin Qifang. He was stolen and sent secretly to the remote Lingnan in his sleep, so that he was able to save his life.

Regarding Qin Taiyue's treatment, Shen Hui followed Rong Yu's suggestion and changed the sentence to death in prison, and ordered him to choose one of Bai Ling and poisoned wine to commit suicide.

As if with a premonition, on the day Shen Hui ordered Qin Taiyue to die, Qin Ruozhen appeared outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see him.

Shen Hui was speechless after hearing the servant's report, his eyes glanced at Rong Yu, and then he said calmly, "I'm not free now, let the queen go back."

The servant took the order to leave, and returned after a while, hesitantly replied, "Your majesty, the empress said that she must see you today, if you don't see her, she will stand outside and wait."

Shen Hui sighed heavily, supported his chin with his hands, stroked his temples and said impatiently, "Then let her wait."

The servant was stunned, and then slowly backed out with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Rong Yu leaned down and asked, "Does the Emperor have a headache right now?"

Shen Hui lowered his jaw and continued to press his forehead.Rong Yu walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and asked the servants in the inner hall to prepare Tianma soup quickly. As soon as he finished ordering, he heard Qin Ruozhen outside the hall shouting loudly, "I must see you today! You have killed all of you, are you still afraid of facing it?" Can't I? Shen Hui, I'll be waiting for you here, you have to come out to see me no matter what."

Anger was evident in the voice, and this was the first time Rong Yu heard it. In an intense and dissatisfied tone, she said the name of the Son of Heaven that should not be spoken humanely.

Shen Hui naturally also heard her words, his face was gloomy, and he frowned and said, "How decent is it to make people in the palace laugh at you?"

At this moment, when the lives of more than 200 people in the Qin family are at stake, how could Qin Ruozhen care about being laughed at by others.Thinking of this, his face and mood were also gloomy. After a long while, he walked to Shen Hui's side and said softly, "The emperor can't always avoid seeing each other. If so, it may be even more difficult to see each other in the future. I will invite the empress to come in. Empress, let's have a sincere talk."

Shen Hui frowned with worry, and teased, "Do you think she will be relieved? Will she pretend that nothing happened, just like before? Even if there is no hatred in her heart, she will still live as usual?"

Rong and Shi Shi were speechless, and he had asked himself the same question, if he were Qin Ruozhen, would he be able to forgive this man who slaughtered his entire clan?

The answer is no, at least he can no longer face him peacefully, and live a life of self-deception and whitewashing peace.

There was a moment of silence in the Nuan Pavilion, which made the voice suddenly raised outside the hall even sharper. Qin Ruozhen raised his voice again, "Don't be afraid, I didn't come here to beg you to let the Qin family go. I just don’t understand, why don’t you put me to death together? My surname is also Qin! I also participated in the treasonous crime you mentioned. Shen Hui, give me death, I’ll wait here for your order.”

Shen Hui was furious when he heard the words, and pushed the books and papers on the case to the ground, still gasping for breath, looking for something else that could make him vent his emotions at the moment.

Rong Yu bent down and picked them up one by one. During this period, there were still a steady stream of study objects being thrown on the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with thick brocade, those jade paperweights and purple gold stone inkstones, so as not to be smashed to pieces.

"Don't pick it up." Shen Hui stopped abruptly.The movements of Rong Yu's hands froze, and he looked at the ground helplessly, unable to think of what to say to comfort him.

Shen Hui didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice became tighter and calmer, "Get up, someone will clean up in a while. You haven't answered my question just now."

Rong Yu got up according to his words, and told him the truth, "I'm not the queen, so I can't guess what she's thinking, so I can't answer the emperor's question."

Shen Hui stretched out his hand to him, and now he is very used to doing this, especially when he also wants to be comforted.Rong Yu held his hand without any hesitation, hoping that this simple action could bring him some comfort and warmth.

"She won't," Shen Hui shook his head and chuckled, "I can't blame her. If I were to, I wouldn't forgive the killing of my father and the whole family, not to mention that this person has no sincerity towards me. But I didn't think about it either. If you want to kill her, he is brother Xian's mother! The crown prince is Dayin's heir apparent, and he is also a good boy." At the end, he showed a mocking smile.

Just as he was talking, Qin Ruozhen's voice suddenly sounded again, "Even if you don't kill me, you can decree to depose me. We can't live like this as a husband and wife anymore. You know it in your heart, why deceive yourself?"

Shen Hui didn't get angry anymore, and raised his eyebrows, showing a teasing attitude that was very inconsistent with the situation at this time, "Look, I'm right. It's been a long time since Guochao had a deposed queen. She's still so proud, I would rather be jade broken, even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted."

Let Qin Ruozhen shout loudly outside the hall like this, Rong Yu felt that it was really inappropriate, so he had no choice but to relieve Shen Hui's worries at this time, "Is the emperor really not seeing the empress? Then how about I ask her to leave?"

"You?" Shen Hui sneered, with some hidden worries, "Every time she sees you, she looks like a chicken with black eyes. How can she listen to you?"

Rong and brewing how to express that thought, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I think your empress should really want to see his lord Qin for the last time. Can the emperor let me tell your empress, and then allow her to go to the imperial prison for a final visit."

Shen Hui seemed a little surprised, thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Let's show her the death edict together."

Rong Yu bowed to obey, took the imperial edict and exited the warm pavilion, and the moment he was about to turn around, Shen Hui warned again, "Be careful, she has a bad temper right now, you just have to talk to her and come back."

When the palace door opened, Rong Yu clearly saw Qin Ruozhen's face with a look of anticipation, but it was a pity that she was disappointed.All she saw was someone she had hated for a long time and deeply despised.

Rong Yu bowed to her and handed the imperial edict in front of her, saying respectfully, "My lord, forgive me, the emperor is having a headache at the moment and cannot see you. What the emperor means is, please go to the edict prison together with the imperial edict, and see a See Lord Qin."

Qin Ruozhen coldly glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict, but did not touch it, but asked sternly, "Is it today?"

With capacity and lowered eyes, the jaw answered yes.Qin Ruozhen took a sharp breath and swayed slightly.

After a long time, Qin Ruozhen took a deep breath and stared at the front proudly, "Okay, I'm going to see my father for the last time. But you tell him that I will come tomorrow, and he will see me sooner or later. If you are really bored, please hurry up If he is not willing to issue the post-abolition edict, sooner or later we will never see each other again." After she finished speaking, she turned around immediately, and there was really no trace of nostalgia for her resoluteness.

Just at this time, a young prisoner who was in charge of delivering the decree came, holding a tray in his hand. The contents on the tray were still eye-catching, not to mention Qin Ruozhen who was on the side.It's because there are only two things on it, a cup of poisonous wine and a roll of white silk.

Maybe it was because she witnessed what was about to end her father's life, Qin Ruozhen suddenly turned around and glared at her face, "Is this also your idea? You wrote the decree, and you also came up with the way to kill my father?" She Step by step approaching, almost crying blood, "Why would he rather believe an eunuch than me?"

After suppressing it for too long, the outburst of anger was hard to contain, Rong Yu subconsciously looked up at her, her face showed a strange ferocity, her eyes were wide open, and there was raging anger burning inside.

Rong Yu looked back, making her feel even more angry, blood rushing to the top of her head, Qin Ruozhen finally didn't want to bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and swung a palm vigorously, caught in a fierce wind, and hit him head-on.

Seeing her left shoulder sinking suddenly, Rong Yu realized what she wanted to do, so he stepped back quickly, turned his face to the side, and felt the palm wind violently across his cheek after a moment.

Qin Ruozhen missed with one blow, but the edge of a rhinoceros horn ring on her finger just passed Rong Yu's chin. With a swipe, he backed up again, and at the same time felt a sharp pain on his left cheek.

Unexpectedly, this lowly servant would dare to dodge, Qin Ruozhen was very resentful, Mingxia, who was standing beside her, hurriedly hugged her, and reminded her, "Your Majesty, you can't do anything with a servant, he is not worthy, you should be careful. "

Qin Ruozhen struggled to break free, pointed at Rongyu and sneered, "Lin Rongyu, you don't have to be too complacent, my fate today is your reference for tomorrow. Your master is cold-hearted and heartless. I don't believe it, He can really pamper and pamper you all the time."

Glancing contemptuously, she raised her head and smiled contemptuously, "When you have no use value, you will be abandoned by him sooner or later. I'll wait and see that day, and then you will naturally know what it means to be overwhelmed with pain."

Rong Yu lowered his eyes, unwilling to look at her leaving back, and when she walked away, Fang hurriedly flicked his chin, and indeed a little blood fell on his fingers.

I didn't want Shen Hui to see the scars on his face at this time, so Rong Yu said to the servant who was going to pass the decree, "You go and report to the emperor, saying that the empress is emotionally unstable at the moment, I don't think it's appropriate, so go to prison with her , the edict of death is passed on by me."

After saying that, he took the poisonous wine and the white silk, and went without the slightest hesitation.Even though he knew that the scene he was going to face next would make people full of depression, but he had an intuition that if Shen Hui saw the wound on his face, more difficult things might happen.

Rong Yu deliberately waited until Qin Ruozhen left before entering the imperial prison. He had no way of guessing what their father and daughter said, but from Qin Taiyue's tearful face, he could also feel all kinds of unwillingness and even a trace of sadness.

Rong Yu bowed to him, calmly read out the death edict written by him, and then watched him kowtow to thank the emperor for his kindness - such a scene can be called extremely ironic.

After thanking Qin Taiyue, he knelt down on the ground, took the tray containing poisonous wine and white silk with both hands, and said with a slight smile, "I never thought that the emperor would allow the old man to leave a whole body. It's very different from his behavior." He squinted Concerned and asked, "Could it be because of you?"

After a moment of silence, Rong and Jawshou gave him an affirmative answer.He immediately broke out into a burst of laughter, and then said sharply, "Unexpectedly, the old man's dignity is finally in the hands of an eunuch. Lin Rongyu, even so, the old man will not be grateful to you."

Rong Yu smiled and said lightly, "Lin didn't even think about it."

Qin Taiyue stared at him, and said word by word, "Looking at you standing here in high spirits, the old man was just thinking that it was too easy to let you off that day. If I had known today, the old man would definitely order the judge to impeach me again until he was willing to do so." I will punish your crimes!" After a pause, he continued, "Since the founding of Dayin, you are the eunuch who is most favored by the emperor and interferes the most in political affairs. What you rely on is that you have only read a few books. You are eloquent, and the rest is that you have a better appearance than others. Your monstrous appearance has ruined Qin Wang Shen Che's affairs, and it will also ruin his affairs sooner or later in the future."

Rong and his heart tightened, and he still listened calmly. He did not deny that he hoped that Shen Hui would always believe in himself and need himself.But if he can no longer give Shen Hui any help or happiness, he will not sit by his side to occupy such an important position, although now, he really enjoys the unique tenderness that Shen Hui gave him and caring.

Rong Heping stared at him, saw him calmly picked up the glass of poisoned wine, stared at it for a while, raised his glass with a smile, "This wine, this old man respects you, it can be regarded as a taste for you in advance. This old man is worth it in this life." He killed my whole family of the Qin family, but after all, the future emperor will not leave the blood of my Qin family. My descendants will definitely avenge me, at least, they will definitely kill you. At that time, whether it is a broken bone or a glass of poisoned wine, the old man will not I can only wait for you on Huangquan Road before asking."

He chuckled twice, brought the cup to his lips, and after a slight pause, he raised his head and drank it.Rong and Wuwu saw how he was poisoned to death, bowed to him, and turned to leave.

"You can take what I just said as a prophecy, and I will keep my eyes open and watch from the ground, your future fate."

What came from behind was the last sentence Qin Taiyue said to him, probably also the last sentence he said in this life.
