Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Chapter 2463 - After half a lifetime, I realized that all life was empty



I looked up at him and said in a serious tone, “So, do you have any plans?”

He was quiet for a while, and also said to me calmly, “Before, you have been persuading me, until now, what else do you have to persuade?”

“…”

My brows froze slightly.

Actually, I certainly know what kind of person Pei Yuanxiu is.

He could start from leaving the capital with almost no name, and later occupy Jinling, expand his forces in Jinling, go all the way north, and even force Pei Yuanzhang, who was already on the throne, out of the capital.

This kind of effort, this kind of city house, is not what ordinary people can achieve.

But now, since I returned to Beijing this time, he has done almost nothing, even if he has done anything, he is listening to my persuasion.

I don’t believe that he would really believe me so.

It seems that he saw the hesitant light in my deep eyes, and Pei Yuanxiu slowly walked over and said calmly, “You don’t have to think wildly, since I ask you, I really ask you.”

“…”

“Look, didn’t I listen to your advice before?”

I said, “But why?”

“…”

“Why would you listen to my advice?”

“…”

“You know very well that I treat you-I don’t want you to be good.”

“…”

“Even-maybe I want you to die!”

When it came to the last word, the whole room seemed to be frozen by the cold wind outside, and the two of us almost shuddered, especially me.

The coldness in my heart that almost froze through the musculoskeletal came out suddenly at this time.

Maybe I hope you die!

This sentence was originally unnecessary to say, because not only me and him, almost everyone in the world who knows us will know this.

Between us, as if separated by a layer of lantern paper, we have clearly seen each other’s figure, and know each other’s minds, but we are all ourselves under the imaginary smile and the seemingly peaceful illusion.

He was silent for a long time, reached out his hand, and gently rested on my shoulder.

In the quiet room, his husky voice sounded–

“fair enough.”

“…”

“I finally did one thing, what you want me to do.”

“…”

“I always thought I got a lot, even if I lost it, I could get it back, but this time, when I saw you, I suddenly understood.”

“…”

“Nothing, I get nothing.”

“…”

“After half my life, I realized that all life was empty.”

Having said that, he chuckled: “If at the end, I can do something for you, then probably this is the only thing.”

I didn’t speak. I just sat there silently, with a slight stubble in my throat. I felt that his hand resting on my shoulder was slightly firm, pinched me, and then turned away.

The snowstorm outside swept the whole world again.

It is clear that the spring has begun, but the sudden cold current has frozen the whole land again.

However, it was only the earth that was frozen.

Even if I kept myself in this silent room every day, I could hear the noise outside.

Those documents that entered the city with the arrows caused a big wave in the entire city of Tianjin. The people never knew that their hard work was because they carried such a burden on their bodies, even if it was not the case of Tianjin that the documents show. But for ordinary people oppressed by heavy taxation and bondage, the pain is the same.

Therefore, dissatisfaction and even anger gradually breed.

This is only part of it.

More importantly, problems also occurred in the military.

A large part of Pei Yuanxiu’s army was brought from the side of Jinling. It was Han Zitong and the army of King Jiang Xia controlled by Han Ruoshi. These people left their homes and followed him to the capital. They actually thought of them all. You can return home after you become famous.

However, Jiangnan was occupied by my people.

Not only were they unable to return to their hometowns, but now they found that their loyal masters had to sell their hometown to the people in Shengjing.

Even if it doesn’t work out, the fact is beyond relief.

These days, I faintly feel that the outside atmosphere is wrong, especially on the evening of that day, news came again.

People have been sent over the capital, and the road from Beijing to Tianjin has been rebuilt.

Moreover, not only road construction, their infantry has rushed to Tianjin along these damaged roads, as long as they can reach Tianjin City tomorrow morning.

It seems that Pei Yuanzhang is also unwilling to delay.

Outside the city, Yemen ’s team is constantly attacking.

In this case, people’s emotions will gradually become anxious, but the quietest thing in this house is Pei Yuanxiu himself.

On the evening of that day, after the news came from Beijing, he stayed in my room and sat with me.

Usually, of course, he would come here to sit with me. The two said something inexplicable, but today he came a little differently than usual.

He brought many people.

These soldiers seemed to be the soldiers of the imperial barracks he had personally selected, all of them were elite troops, standing outside this empty and large room, without saying a word, as if none existed.

Very quiet outside.

I don’t know what he wanted to do when he came to this room, but the tight atmosphere in the quietness made me a little breathless.

I thought for a while, and said softly, “The weather outside is still bad?”

He said, “It will be fine.”

“I heard that the ice on the ferry had almost melted, but these two days have frozen again?”

“It’s just a thin layer of ice.”

“Oh……”

I nodded and remained silent for a while and said, “Then you–“

As soon as the words fell, I heard a lot of heavy footsteps far away, and it was faint, as if some people were yelling.

I could not help frowning at these sounds.

Since entering Yuwen Mansion, he has ordered people not to come to this place to disturb me. Except for Qiuer and Luer who came to serve, almost no one else would set foot in this place.

But now, the silence here has been broken.

I got up subconsciously and walked to the window. Even before I opened the window, I already felt that under the dark sky outside, some fiery red light was shining and turned into a piece.

There are many people holding the torch up here.

Then I heard these people shouting in unison–

“Kill Yan Qingying!”

My heart sank suddenly.

What I worried about finally happened.

There was mutiny in the army!
