The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 252. Dan Zhen's death

Dan Zhen never cared about things in the capital. On the one hand, she was here to avoid the imperial chase, and on the other hand, she was also waiting for the news of Xuan Li. In her opinion, everything nowadays is already a fixed fact, and nothing can go wrong. So there is no worry in my heart. It was the strangeness of the Yenchuan coming in, and Dan Zhen didn’t care about it, but he didn’t expect that Xuan Li suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Dan Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at the man. To be fair, Xuan Lisheng is not ugly, and by the means of this man, he is not incompetent. It was just that Dan Zhen had already taken a fancy to the other person in his heart, and Xuan Li was too far from that person. Dan Zhen looked at Xuanli again, and there was not much mood swing. However, she still knew that Xuanli was the person who was trading with them in Nanjiang, so that she could stand up and smiled: “His Royal Highness.”

Xuanli also had a smile. Dan Zhen had seen Xuanli several times and knew that this was the expression Xuanli was used to. Being able to wear a mask deep into the bone marrow makes everyone who sees him feel like a spring breeze, and Xuan Li is also somewhat capable. It’s just that today his face still looks like a gentle smile on his usual day at first glance, but there seems to be something more in that smile, which makes people feel unspeakable.

Dan Zhen suddenly stopped when he was about to step forward, and then said, “His Royal Highness, what is it for you to come here?”

She was sensitively aware that something was wrong, but she didn’t know what went wrong. The communication between her and Xuanli was through Yuanchuan. Yuanchuan is a smart person and the most convenient knife she uses.

Xuan Li smiled slightly and said, “Holy woman, the main hall is here, just asking the holy woman one thing.”

Dan Zhen said: “What’s the matter?”

“The imperial edict found from Princess Jinying’s body was burned by the saint, right?” Xuanli’s smile looked closer at this moment, and it was a bit false, which made Danzhen feel disgusted for no reason. As if there was something else in it, she looked at Xuanli and nodded, “Exactly.”

“Oh? Then dare to ask why the saint did this?” Xuan Li asked.

Dan Zhen was taken aback, and he carefully looked at Xuanli’s expression before saying: “Since the imperial edict is an edict for your brother, keeping it is a scourge, and you will destroy it one day. Instead of destroying it. There are many dreams in the night, it is better to let me do it for you. Since you and I are on the side, I am not afraid to do these things.”

She thought that what she said was very decent, and as the saint of Southern Xinjiang, she was willing to do things for others herself, which was already a great honour for others. If it hadn’t been for the fact that there is still a covenant between the two, she would not have said such a thing. Who knew that Xuan Li smiled weirdly after hearing the words, and said, “Help me?”

Dan Zhen didn’t expect this reaction from the Xuanli Meeting. She was a little dissatisfied and said, “His Royal Highness, what does this mean?”

Xuanli’s tone couldn’t hear the joy and anger: “The one you burned is not the thirteen edict, the name above is mine.”

“Yours?” Dan Zhen exclaimed. Dian Guang Shi Huo also understood why Xuan Li had this attitude. It’s just that ordinary people think about how to express their guilt for the first time, but Dan Zhen thinks about how to shirk it. There was even anger in his heart.

She said: “Is your Royal Highness here to ask the guilt?” Even though Nanjiang Kingdom had been annihilated by the Dajin dynasty decades ago, Nanjiang still gave it to this saint who was originally a royal relative. Gained a very high status and honor. No one questioned or resisted her words, and because of the destruction of the country, she treated Dan Zhen more kindly. Dan Zhen’s bones looked down on anyone who was inferior to her. In her eyes, Xuan Li was nothing more than a prince who had not yet ascended to the throne. It was disrespectful to dare to speak to her with such an uncomfortable attitude. He immediately put on a lofty posture: “When His Royal Highness asked us to steal the imperial decree, he never said that the name of the imperial decree belonged to His Royal Highness. Why, now I am to blame? I burned it. Is your edict? Besides, you haven’t read the imperial decree. How do you know that your name is written on it? Could it be someone else’s way?”

“Following other people’s ways?” Xuan Li asked slowly.

“Yes,” Dan Zhen seemed to be interested suddenly, and continued to talk non-stop: “Maybe the imperial decree was taken away by you when we were robbed of it by other people’s way. His Highness kept asking the teacher, why not Ask yourself? This matter is your own fault after all. It is you who are stupid, made mistakes, fell into other people’s traps, burned your own imperial decree, and cut off your own rightful emperor’s road. I am nothing but Act according to your words, what does this have to do with me? The one who is really to blame is yourself!”

Dan Zhen was eager to get rid of the whole thing, so he attributed all the mistakes to Xuan Li. If this is normal, then forget it, but what she said today happened to be stuck in Xuanli’s sore spot. This incident was indeed the result of Xuanli’s misconduct from the very beginning. It was his self-righteous judgement error. He thought the edict with his name was Xuanpei’s. But Xuanli was the most conceited person, and he couldn’t tolerate any taint on himself, and he couldn’t tolerate others to question his ability. Dan Zhen was hitting him in the face every word and every word, how to make it? Moreover, there was still room for change in this matter, as long as he took out his own imperial decree, who knew that Dan Zhen was a shit-stirring stick, and a fire burned his last chance. Not only that, but he didn’t have any regrets and made an aggressive appearance.

A sense of irritability suddenly rose in Xuan Li’s heart.

He looked at Dan Zhen and slowly said: “You are right.”

Dan Zhen originally had a temper tantrum for a while. He didn’t expect that Xuan Li would admit his mistakes so quickly, and he was a little strange. However, Xuan Li was always a sweetheart, and he was the best at being kind to people on the surface. So I didn’t think too much, and said: “Actually, I don’t blame you, but you really shouldn’t blame me for this matter…”

Before she finished her words, she felt a sudden cold in her chest, and an unfamiliar pain spread from her chest and got into the bones. She lowered her head in a daze and looked at her chest. There was a short knife inserted there, and the hilt of the knife was in Xuan Li’s hand. Xuan Li smiled as she watched her, and the irritability in her eyes increased sharply. The knife turned slowly and deliberately again, and the sound of flesh and skin spinning could almost be heard.

“Since I shouldn’t blame you, I should thank you and give you a ride?” Xuan Li’s voice was brisk, but there was a deep chill. Dan Zhen stared at her wound in disbelief. She wanted to call for help. She wanted to call Yuan Chuan, Qi Man, or an outsider, but she couldn’t say a word. She was strangely cold and her mouth opened. Zhang again, just lack of strength.

The tip of the short knife was poisoned, Xuan Li took out the short knife from Qi Man’s chest unhurriedly. At that moment, blood splashed out, and Xuan Li took out a handkerchief from his arms to remove the dirt on the tip of the knife. Wipe it clean, put the knife back in the scabbard, looking down at the dead woman lying on the ground, admiring the corpse on the ground for a long time as if admiring a painting, then smiled slowly: “You should be killed in the first place,” idiot.”

He turned and walked out of the house.

Dan Zhen’s body was lying horizontally in the room, and the blood stained from his chest gradually stained the ground under his body red. Dan Zhen never thought that Xuan Li would actually attack her. Perhaps she didn’t realize how big a mistake she had committed, nor did she realize that Xuan Li was much harsher than she wanted. But what she didn’t realize the most was that she was not as important as she thought. The reason why she feels confident is simply because she fancy Xuanli to form an alliance with her, but also to rely on the power of their southern Xinjiang, but she forgot, Nanjiang is now the only one who can be the master, she is the saint of southern Xinjiang. There is still a princess in the South of Xinjiang. Qi Man is smarter than her, more tolerant than she, and knows how to deal with Xuanli better than she is. When a person is not the only choice, even after having a better alternative, To kill her is just a very simple thing.

Dan Zhen never thought that her life would be ruined so quickly. She hasn’t seen the time when Jiang Ruansheng is better than dead, nor the time when Xiao Shao can only surrender to her from now on. Just died in the hands of Xuanli, because of the imperial decree, how unwilling to be reconciled. Perhaps when she died, she suddenly understood why Jiang Ruan wanted to say those things to her, and the words that misled her and made her think that the imperial edict was really Xuanpei’s name, it was nothing more than borrowing her hand. Burning the imperial decree, and then using her character and Xuanli to completely tear her face apart, she might even have expected Xuanli’s reaction, knowing that Xuanli is a sensitive and fragile temperament that can not be trampled by anyone, she will definitely want her. Life.

When Dan Zhen was in Nanjiang, he once heard that Jiang Ruan was a person who was good at calculating people’s hearts. Dan Zhen disapproved, but this disapproval ultimately cost her her own life. Jiang Ruan had set up a series of games from the beginning. She wanted to declare the great cause of leaving the family and country, and also wanted Dan Zhen’s life. She did nothing, but only slightly stirred Dan Zhen’s emotions, which caused this. The situation is out of control, she is indeed a woman who is good at taking advantage of people’s weaknesses, a terrible woman.

It’s just that these experiences can only be dissipated on the land of Dajin Dynasty with her life. It is impossible to conquer the sky where the eagle is and the land where the wolf is.

The door was pushed open, and Yuan Chuan’s voice rang: “The saint…” He stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and his eyes fell on the lying corpse on the ground.

Yuan Chuan was stunned for a while, as if he was stunned, he didn’t dare to step forward. After a while, he finally realized it, and quickly walked over and squatted down, holding Dan Zhen into his arms. There was only one cold corpse in his arms, and he was no longer angry. Yuan Chuan was immediately stunned.

“How could…. How could…” Yuan Chuan muttered, calling out in a low voice, “Holy woman, holy woman!”

The only answer to him was a dead silence, Dan Zhen’s blood stained his clothes red, and the blood stains were still black and purple. He suddenly hugged Dan Zhen’s head in his arms and whimpered in pain.

If people from southern Xinjiang pass by at this moment, Yuanchuan’s expression will be surprised. This man, who has never been mysterious and not showing his true colors, has always shot extremely hard. Almost everyone who works under him will feel terrified of him from the bottom of his heart, because this man is moody, he seems to simply like to kill and bloodthirsty. Such a devilish man would also cry because of others, looking extremely sad.

He whispered: “Did you say that I am your most loyal servant, the best knife you have used. I want to help you achieve your wish, how can you die now…”

Yuan Chuan’s gaze was a little crazy, he frantically printed his kiss on the face of the person in his arms, his expression was already crazy. He has always been aware of his position, and in front of Dan Zhen’s eyes, he is a dog that can bite people. There is someone in Dan Zhen that he knows, how about treating himself as a dog, it is always Dan Zhen who wants him to bite, who he will bite? There is only one person in this world who can get all his loyalty, and even if this woman doesn’t have a bit of his place in her heart, he will be happy.

She is the saint who came from heaven to save sinners, and he is a sinner humbled to the dust. The saint is also a human being, and she also has her own emotions and desires, but they cannot be relieved. He is willing to be a knife in the hands of the saint. If the blood is dirty, then dirty his hands. He will remove all obstacles on the road for her. She only needs to be the clean and pure saint.

But now, there is only one corpse left in the person in his arms, there is nothing left. His faith and the people he will follow in his life are gone. Yuan Chuan slowly put down the person in his arms, stretched out his hand and took off the mask on his face that he never left. Half of the face under the mask is full of ravines, and the original scars can be vaguely seen. In the half of the face covered by the mask, you can see the word “prisoner” branded on by a soldering iron.

That was the big crime he had committed. He was beaten with a whip and branded the word “Prisoner” on his face with a red soldering iron. When he was about to brand the other side, he heard an ethereal voice: “Stop it.” .”

The painful torture came to an abrupt end. He raised his head and saw a red dress, those magnificent eyes, the woman was like a fairy in the sky, with a slender posture, just saying: “It’s not the unforgivable person, forgive him.” ”

He had committed no serious crime, but he had offended a noble man. This woman’s words rescued him. Later, Yuanchuan couldn’t forget this woman from time to time, and finally found a chance to see her again, showing that she was willing to follow her with her life’s worship.

Yuanchuan is smart, fierce, and understanding, Dan really likes to use him. Over the years, he and Dan Zhen depended on each other for life. He regarded Dan Zhen as his own salvation. The world was too filthy and dark. Only this woman who was not as beautiful as the human world could make this world look less ugly. He witnessed Dan’s real loneliness and loneliness, in which his soul became distorted. Whether he is a ghost, he has never regretted it.

Yuan Chuan stroked the uneven skin on half of his face, and his expression gradually calmed down. He softly said, “You give me my name and life, saint, I will let them accompany you.” Slowly bent down, and bowed to Dan Zhen’s corpse with a great gift from southern Xinjiang, then, slowly got up, never looked at the corpse on the ground again, and walked out the door.

The Eighth Prince’s Mansion was different from the past. In addition to the staff, there were also many important officials in the imperial court, all of whom were members of the Xuanli faction. Now all the people who have not fallen are sitting here, and the head of the adult said: “His Royal Highness, the ceremony of the thirteenth princes is imminent, if it is…”

“Since the imperial decree has been announced to the world,” Xuan Li said coldly: “The same thing can happen without the imperial decree.” Thinking of the burnt imperial decree, Xuan Li’s heart was about to split at this moment.

“His Royal Highness meant to rebel?” another courtier asked tentatively.

“What is rebellion?” Xuan Li asked rhetorically, his face no longer had the gentle expression on his face, but there was some sullen madness, and he said in a deep voice: “This world is mine, and the winner is the king and the loser is the gang , Whoever wins? Needless to say the word rebellion afterwards, this time it is called the elimination of chaos in the palace!”

The courtiers did not speak, and the people in the world are not fools. The edicts have already been issued. It is not all self-deception to say about the elimination of the chaotic party. Everyone knows that this is just a cover-up. However, it is better to have an action than no action. When it comes to Xuanli’s force, it is not necessarily worse than Xuanpei’s, and there are also people from southern Xinjiang.

A military officer said: “His Royal Highness can discuss with Nanjiang, but Nanjiang is a foreigner, and I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future. Now it is only forced by the situation, so I will cooperate for the time being. If it is in the future, Your Highness There are many dreams in the night, or…” The military attache hesitated and did not go on. After all, it was unsettling to work with other countries to deal with his own land. Moreover, this southern border country was personally destroyed by the hand of the Dajin Dynasty, so It is unbelievable to say that the people of Southern Xinjiang have absolutely no other ideas. For those with ghosts, where can they live together peacefully in the future? If it weren’t for the people of Xuanpei’s faction now, why bother to do these things with Nanjiang?

“It’s a stopgap measure,” Xuan Li said lightly: “After the matter is done, it will naturally be Nanjiang to deal with. You don’t have to worry about it.” Xuanli had already thought about the demolition of the bridge by crossing the river. It is a tool. It’s just that Dan Zhen did what he did in the announcement, and he couldn’t help but feel angry. It’s good because this girl came to mix up, and a lot of things were added for nothing. Now only Qi Man is left in Nanjiang. Qi Man wants to come and feels better and smarter. I hope he can be more interesting than Dan Zhen.

When the ministers on the scene heard what Xuanli said, he first let go of his heart, and then someone asked, “I don’t know where the battle begins, Your Highness?”

“According to what I said in the past,” Xuan Li said, “It’s just that now, instead of going from outside the palace, but from outside the palace to the inside, it becomes a quadrangle. There are people from southern Xinjiang on the edge of the capital. Becoming a predicament, surrounded the palace, and then built the walls and cleared the fields, and burned the palace on fire.”

If what he said was nothing, the people around him could not help but burst into a cold sweat, standing on the walls and clearing the fields, burning the palace, that would not be let go, including the Queen Mother Yide in the palace. The ministers didn’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate at this moment. Fortunately, he followed Xuanli, otherwise he might be the one who was burned to ashes by the fire. Unfortunately, this master looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but he is so ruthless in his heart. Working under such a person may not be able to get it right in the future. For a while, it is difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger, and the face is very complicated.

“When will it happen?” someone asked.

“Enthronement ceremony.” Xuan Li replied.

So the officials were silent, just to avoid people’s eyes and ears, and soon separated again and left in a hurry. After everyone left, Xuan Li sat in the temple alone, supporting his forehead with one hand, and his expression was indescribable.

After all, it was the worst step. I thought that everything could be well-prepared, and that the emperor came to the right place, but only need to make the means to make Xuan Pei sit in that position without being justified. Who knows that Xuan Pei actually played such a hand, now he is the one who has failed, and he has to force a confession in the name of rebellion.

In rebellion, Xuan Li smiled. The most important thing in his life is reputation. As long as the two words are rebelled, no matter whether he is good or bad in the future, he will completely become the most despised prosecutor and thief. Even if he finally ascended to the throne, his reputation could not be washed away. The people may not dare to speak out because of fear, but who knows what they think in their hearts. It is impossible to slaughter all the tens of thousands of people in the capital to avoid the tongue. So from making this decision, this shame will be deeply imprinted on Xuanli’s body, and it will not be washed away for a lifetime.

In the final analysis, this matter was Jiang Ruan’s fault. After returning, Xuan Li slowly thought about it. He was afraid that he was also in Jiang Ruan’s calculations when he killed Dan Zhen in anger, but he did not regret it, Dan Zhen, this woman. , Keeping it for a day will always bring disaster to yourself, it is better to die early and clean. Xuan Li hated being calculated the most in his life, but now that things are approaching, he finds that he is always being calculated by Jiang Ruan, and he has no interest in Xingshi to inquire about crimes.

He is just a little tired.

If Jiang Ruan were his person, would he not be so overwhelmed now, nor would he embark on the lowest path. With Jiang Ruan’s words, it’s like a tiger with wings. I’m afraid that the road to gaining thousands of miles will be much smoother. Xuan Li thought, but at the beginning he didn’t show good wishes to Jiang Ruan. From the first meeting with Jiang Ruan, he has maintained a gentle and elegant state. Although such an appearance will not make all women rushed, it is finally It’s not annoying.

But Jiang Ruan has avoided him like a snake and scorpion since he opened, and even seems to be a little disgusted with him. Xuan Li didn’t know why, Jiang Ruan always went against him and undermined his plan, and when he proposed to marry her, he flatly refused without hesitation. Xuan Li didn’t know if it was his own illusion. Jiang Ruan sometimes even inadvertently expressed hatred towards him. Xuan Li didn’t know where he had offended her. He thought about it and couldn’t find the reason.

Later Jiang Ruan chose Xiao Shao. Xiao Shao returned home with a beautiful woman. Xuan Li couldn’t see anything on the surface, but she was already frantic. Jiang Ruan was someone he couldn’t get, but he was finally got it, and the person who got Jiang Ruan was Xiao Shao, who was the most hated and jealous person in his life.

Yes, he is jealous. He didn’t understand that Xiao Shao was clearly a gangster, and why the emperor still trusted him so much. I don’t even understand that among the brothers of Mount Canaan, Mr. Baqi’s favorite is Xiao Shao. I don’t understand why Xiao Shao can easily do what others need to do with great effort. Under his aura, the efforts of others have been obliterated.

Xuan Li has been an unwilling temper since he was a child. He longed for others to notice him from time to time. He was the best one, but Xiao Shao’s appearance broke his rules. Even Bai Jiu is the same.

At the beginning, everyone only said that Bai Jiu liked him, but they didn’t know that he liked Bai Jiu back then. He came from the palace and was used to all kinds of fights. Bai Jiu was such a natural, unsculpted girl who didn’t like it. It was the first time that he liked a person. He was full of affection and before he spoke, he saw Bai Jiu annoyed and said to him: “Brother Eighth, I like Senior Brother Third, why does he always ignore me?”

Bai Jiu likes Xiao Shao, she has never liked Xuanli.

Xuan Li didn’t understand why Xiao Shao was so cold to others, Bai Jiu still liked him. Only at that moment, he felt the anger of Chu Li and the feeling of being betrayed. He was jealous of Xiao Shao and hated Bai Jiu’s betrayal. At that moment, the boy’s affection turned into monstrous hatred, how did he do it? He said: “If you want to see if he really cares about you, just see if he will be jealous. You can say that you like me and be close to me, so that you can test his mind.”

Bai Jiu didn’t doubt him. Xuanli was a gentle and considerate brother in her eyes. She also thought this method was good. At that time, all the brothers in Canaan knew that Bai Jiu liked Xuanli. The more intimate Bai Jiu did, the more unbearable it would be during the renunciation process. He felt that this was all shame and shame.

So that day has arrived.

When Bai Jiu was trapped, he also hesitated to ask someone to rescue her. But in the end, when Bai Jiu told him about Xiao Shao’s affection, Xuan Li sneered and turned and left.

When Bai Jiu died, he didn’t know why Xuanli did this. People all over Canaan thought he was a lucky person. Only he knew. Bai Jiu didn’t like him. Bai Jiu liked Xiao Shao, and he , Xiao Shao hates most.

After so many years, he thought that those things had long been forgotten, and if the mask was worn for too long, he could smile at Xiao Shao kindly. But those jealous and gloomy moods have never been forgotten one day. Xiao Shao will always be luckier than him, whether it is Bai Jiu or Jiang Ruan, he always wants to take away what he likes.

Maybe they are enemies in the previous life, and they will finally make a decision in this life. Xuan Li squeezed both hands, the tea cup in his hand broke at the sound, and he ignored the blood flowing from between his fingers. It’s just that the expression is a little weird, like a beast that has seen a demon, very crazy.
