【001】 Wedge

It was late winter, and the entire palace was carved and jade-like, and it was magnificent.

Because it was snowing all night last night, it seemed that it was covered with snow, and even the corners of the eaves were covered with thick ice.

Located just west of the palace, it is the cold palace where abandoned concubines are disposed of. The flowers and plants have long been withered, and in this cold winter day, it looks even more bleak.

In the dirty curtains and in the dilapidated bedrooms, the bitter cold wind stormed in through the cracks in the windows.

The woman's hair was disheveled, her soft cheeks were seriously sunken, as pale as a ghost, and her lips were not bloody at all. She could no longer see her originally beautiful appearance. Her eyes were like a dry well, staring at the woman in a gorgeous palace outfit in front of her, full of deep hatred.

If she hadn't been forced to hold her back and kneel on the ground by two palace servants at this moment, she would have rushed up and tore the smiling woman in front of her to pieces!

"Good sister, I think I have fought with you for so many years, but you didn't even dream of it, but in the end, I ended up like such a miserable end, right?"

Chen Qian smiled and looked down at the woman kneeling at her feet, as if she was looking at a dog that was waving her tail and begging for mercy, her eyes full of the pride of the winner.

After saying that, Chen Qian covered his lips and smiled: "The emperor likes beauty and hates ugliness the most. If you see you like this now, you will definitely be bored. I think my sister's favor was always strong, but I once thought, when will this favor last?"

Ye Jin's eyes were as cold as a knife, as if he could silence a person for a while. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Qian, in this life, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"Is that right?" Chen Qian smiled charmingly and stared at Ye Jin with a condescending face. He said dissatisfiedly: "You couldn't beat me before you were alive. Do you think you could beat me after you die? Now you have been thrown into the cold palace, and all the Ye family members have been beheaded. No one in this world can save you!"

After saying that, a proud look appeared on Chen Qian's face, and his beautiful eyes flashed with pride, saying, "In three days, the emperor will hold a ceremony for the queen. I originally wanted to let you live for a few more days to avoid catching up with evil spirits. However, the emperor has made up his mind and must take your life, so I can't blame me."

The Queen's Ceremony...

Ye Jin sneered, and the corners of his mouth were filled with endless ridicule.

Even though he didn't say anything, it was particularly dazzling in Shen Qian's eyes. He was already a little impatient and waved his hand.

Then an eunuch walked towards Ye Jin with a tray with a pot of poisoned wine on it. He was about to force the wine into her mouth when a bright yellow figure slowly walked in from outside the hall.

"etc--"

After saying that, the palace servants in the hall knelt all over the ground, and the sinister expression on Chen Qian's face instantly turned into a soft smile. He walked forward slowly and bowed, saying in a sweet voice: "I have seen the emperor."

Chu Jingheng gently stroked her hand, then walked forward, looked down at Ye Jin in an emperor's posture, and said coldly: "Before dying, do you have anything to say to me?"

When Ye Jin heard this, she instantly spit out a mouthful of blood. She slowly raised her hand to wipe the blood on her lips, then raised her head, looking at this man who was just as gentle as before, who had loved her for many years and had devoted her life, she felt ridiculous!

"Why?" Ye Jin looked straight into Chu Jingheng's eyes, his tone like a stagnant pool of water, and could not cause any sensation.

Chu Jingheng frowned without answering.

"Why did you destroy the Ye family?" Ye Jin asked again.

"The Ye family has already proven that they are treasonable, how can I bear it?" Chu Jingheng said coldly.

"Teach the enemy and treason?" Ye Jin's lips sneered, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with heavy hostility, and he said sarcastically: "The so-called iron evidence is just your arrangement in advance, and the so-called crime is just you imposed on the Ye family! Chu Jingheng, are you heartless? Since you were the third prince, Ye family has done their best to assist, loyal to the country, and has never done anything to sorry for you, but he did not expect that he would end up in such a miserable end!"

"Ye Jin!" Chu Jingheng shouted angrily, perhaps because he was called to the pain, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"I'm so angry?" Ye Jin mocked his tone, his eyes full of resentment, and his bones were filled with hatred, and he said coldly: "Chu Jingheng, seven years ago, you were ambushed and trapped in Yanming Mountain. It was my second brother who led a team of troops to fight for a bloody road alone, trying to protect you back to Yanjing safely, and even the other place of the corpse. At that time, my second sister-in-law was three months pregnant. Suddenly heard bad news, and accidentally gave birth to one corpse and two lives!"

"Five years ago, I encountered an assassin in the palace. It was my elder brother who loyally protected you and blocked a fatal knife for you, but died of excessive blood loss!"

"Three years ago, the Huns came in, but the Northern Yan was in a famine and could not fight, so they had to marry each other. You were reluctant to leave your sister. Princess Qingping of Northern Yan married the Huns, so I asked my younger sister to put on a wedding dress instead to exchange for border peace!"

"Shut up!" Chu Jingheng suddenly shouted, his face extremely cold, and he seemed to be moved by what Ye Jin said just now.

Shen Mei smiled softly, her weak and boneless body fell into Chu Jingheng's arms, and said in a charming voice: "Sister, Ye has long been unfaithful. The emperor is wise. It is really a wise move to execute rioters and traitors. How could it be like you said?"

Ye Jin stared at Chu Jingheng coldly, as if he turned a deaf ear to what Shen Wei said. During this period of time, his tears had already flowed out. Facing this man who once loved deeply but now hated him to the core.

She said, "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook; the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. Now that your foundation is gradually stabilized, you can no longer tolerate Ye's family, so you cross the river and burn the bridge; Chu Jingheng, you are so cruel!"

"Ye Jin!" Chu Jingheng stared at her angrily and said coldly: "Ye had already made a mistake in his plan. Your second brother was respectful and did not take the royal family seriously at all. He had long been rebellious. I had sent someone to investigate. When I was ambushed in the Battle of Yanming Mountain, it was your second brother who planned it!"

"When Gong Yan was assassinated, your elder brother saved my life, but everything that happened that night was too coincidental. How could I not doubt Ye's intentions?"

"As for marriage, the Ye family is just seeking fame and profit. Since your father is willing to let your younger sister marry into the Huns, in exchange for the glory of the Ye family, how can I stop it?"

Hearing this, Ye Jin shook his body and his throat instantly surged warmth, as if there was a slight smell of blood, which made her unable to hold on.

At this moment, Ye Jin suddenly wanted to laugh loudly, laugh at herself as innocent, blind, and stupid.

It’s a pity that when I was young, I thought I was married to a good man; but I never thought that I was such a heartless and cold person!

Ye Jin remembered that since childhood, his father carefully taught his elder brother and second brother that if he entered the court and became a minister, he would be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

Back then, the eldest brother entered the imperial examination and worked hard to assist the king with his father; the second brother was young and passionate, so he joined the military camp. Over the years, he made countless military achievements. His brothers, one of his brothers, was both literary and military, and jointly protected the beautiful mountains and rivers of Northern Yan.

My younger sister was only fourteen years old that year. Before she could even get married, she put on her wedding dress and went to the Huns to marry in the place of Princess Qingping. Before leaving, her father and mother, who were gray-haired, were reluctant to leave, but she still bid farewell with tears. From then on, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and there was no more day to meet each other.

Now, just because of his great achievements, the emperor was suspicious. The Ye clan was slaughtered all over the family in just one day and one night. All the great achievements of that year were wiped out, and he was charged with the crime of a traitor, and he did not gain a good reputation until his death.

Ye Jin closed his eyes and opened them again, staring at Chu Jingheng with angry and resentful eyes, as if he was about to cut him into pieces, and gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Jingheng, you are really a wolf-hearted! Ye's loyalty and slandered by you. If I could see your hypocrite clearly, I would have torn your face and never let your evil plan succeed!"

"Bitch!" Chu Jingheng shouted sharply, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said coldly: "I tolerate you again and again, but you have challenged my bottom line twice and twice, so don't blame me for being ruthless and unrighteous!"

After saying that, he left with his sleeves.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jin felt ridiculous. Unexpectedly, this was the man who was in the harem who was calculating with his concubines and loved the man who had devoted his life. In the end, he ended up with such a miserable ending.

Back then, Ye Jin was only ten years old, so he fell in love with the third prince Chu Jingheng. At the age of fifteen, he finally got what he wanted and married the person he loved.

During the battle for the throne, Chu Jingheng was punished by the former emperor to kneel on the royal ancestral hall for three months because of a mistake. She knelt on behalf of Chu Jingheng. It was the cold winter month that her knees were numb and unconscious, which led to the root of the disease. Every rainy day, it hurts to the bone marrow.

During the rebellion of the Three Kings, she was pregnant, but she blocked Chu Jingheng, which led to miscarriage and injured her fundamentally, and she lost the qualification to be a mother from then on.

After ascending the throne, she was dignified and virtuous, but she was also very capable. She managed the harem with all her heart, balanced her power, and did her duty as a queen, and never surpassed her...

The past is vivid in my mind, and Ye Jin suddenly felt a pain in his heart and suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of thick black blood.

Since she was sent to the cold palace, she has long been slaughtered by Ye’s family and has long been ill. In addition, she has become depressed and her body is already very sick.

At this moment, Shen Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Jin lying on the ground coldly. Her beautiful eyes showed a little smugness and sighed: "Good sister, the emperor is kind. It is rare to be willing to step into the cold palace to see you before you die. Why do you have to say something angry that makes the emperor feel unhappy? Isn't this causing yourself a grievance?"

After a pause, Shen Wei looked at Eunuch Gao who was standing aside, and ordered coldly: "Don't you take action?"

After saying that, the eunuch responded immediately, walked forward quickly, pinched Ye Jin's chin with one hand, forcing her to open her mouth, and poured the poisonous wine into the other hand.

Ye Jin stared at Shen Mei, and blood and tears flowed out of her eyes, and she struggled hard.

Because of the movement of her body, the poisonous wine flowed down the corner of her mouth to her neck, and she knew that there was no more life today. Ye Jin made a poisonous oath in her heart - if there is a next life, she will definitely take revenge! She will not die well if anyone who has harmed her and Ye family!

But for a moment, Ye Jin died of breath and lay on the ground and never moved again.

"Drag it out and buried it casually." Shen Wei frowned and ordered the eunuch standing on the side.

After speaking, he seemed to no longer want to look at the corpse on the ground. Chen Qian held the palace maid's hand and walked out with a noble attitude.

Outside the hall, the dim sky, and at some point, the snow had stopped.

The courtyard is deep, but another touch of fragrance is added, and it is scattered into mud and crushed into dust.
