Shen Shiyun was in a trance until she reached the door. Then, as if she suddenly regained her senses, she abruptly shook her hand to break free. Her hair was disheveled, and her usual dignified and noble bearing was completely gone. She was as haggard as a sheet of white paper, but the madness in her eyes was enough to ignite a ball of flame. With a voice like the weeping of a malicious spirit, she shouted, "No! I don't want to enter the Cold Palace! I've seen how many imperial concubines who were favored by the crown for a time, but after entering the Cold Palace, they were isolated from the world and could only wait for death! The night was cold and the dew was heavy. Leaning against an iron pole alone, I looked to the end of the world and sighed with pity! That loneliness, that suffering, it's definitely not a life that people should live! It's like a hell that annihilates all hope. Once you step into it, you'll never see the light of day again, and you'll never see the light of day again! Since I was born, I've been pampered in the palm of everyone's hand, I've never suffered any hardships. Even if I've committed countless sins and committed unpardonable heinous crimes, even if I have to die, I must be worthy of my current status and pursue the noble end of the curtain call! "Suddenly, she pulled out an Imperial Bodyguard's sword and raised it high. Everyone thought that she was like a cornered dog jumping over the wall, wanting to assassinate the Emperor, so they all stepped forward to protect her.
The Shangguan Yaohua reprimanded, "Noble Consort Yun, don't make mistakes again and again! You'd better put down your sword as soon as possible and eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha in the Cold Palace. Perhaps after many years, His Majesty will remember your piety and you'll still have a good ending. "
Shen Shiyun coldly shouted, "Shut up! You're a two-faced thing, eating from the inside but secretly helping the outside. What right do you have to lecture ben gong? Since you like to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha, why don't you go yourself? Chenqie's entire life has been dedicated to His Majesty. Since you no longer love me, depriving me of the identity that I rely on to make a living is tantamount to personally sending me to hell. Chenqie can only die to prove my sincerity! "As she said that, she suddenly turned her sword around and ruthlessly cut down on her neck.
She had already made up her mind to die, so she didn't hesitate in the slightest. She cut from the left end to the right end, leaving a large bloody wound across the throat. Blood immediately splattered everywhere.
All the Imperial Bodyguards were busy protecting Shun Zhi, who would have thought that she would suddenly commit suicide? For a moment, they had no time to take care of her. They could only stare blankly as the sword fell to the ground with a crisp 'ding' sound. And Shen Shiyun also fell on her back and fell heavily on the ground, her body curled up into a ball. She was gasping for breath. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was exhaling more than she was inhaling; it looked like she was not going to make it.
At first, Shunzhi wanted to put on a strong show of authority, but his eyes involuntarily glanced behind him. Seeing Shen Shiyun's painful and twisted figure on the ground, what appeared in his mind was no longer the evil deeds that she deserved to be punished by Heaven. Instead, it was the beautiful scene when they first met.
The woman in pink who played the zither and sang in the Prince Regent's Mansion was like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She easily captured his heart. After marrying her into the palace, the two of them sat and laughed happily while playing chess, the tacit understanding when she gave him advice, and the two of them sang together. It was definitely not a beautiful experience that he had not experienced before.
Thinking that all of this would leave him forever in the blink of an eye, it was far more painful than dying thousands of times. His disguise of being strong finally collapsed. He turned around and rushed to Shen Shiyun, shouting, "What are you all doing? Quickly call the imperial physician, quickly! "
At the same time, he gently picked Shen Shiyun up and let her rest on his knees. With her head resting on his arms, his fingers tenderly stroked her pale cheeks. Seeing that the wound on her neck was still bleeding, he panicked and wanted to find a piece of cloth to stop it. But he couldn't find anything to use at the moment, so he raised his hand to cover it. After a while, his palm was completely dyed red.
At this time, he really wished that he was the one who was injured and dying. He anxiously said, "Yun 'er … Yun' er! Pull yourself together, zhen is begging for mercy. Although you are full of sins, zhen has always been unable to harden my heart to punish you severely. After all, I haven't faced my true feelings … zhen can't live without you, I can't lose you! Take out the momentum that you used to scold me just now! What is the point of lying on the ground like this? Quickly get up, no matter what serious crimes you have committed, as long as you wake up, zhen will forgive you and won't blame you anymore, as long as you come back to zhen's side in one piece! I beg you, Yun 'er, wake up! "
Shen Shiyun's face quickly turned pale. It seemed that in just a moment, all the life would retreat from her body. The thick purple foundation covered her eyelids. Shunzhi's eyes never moved from her face. It was almost futile to shake her and call her.
Finally, Shen Shiyun's eyes slowly opened, as if this was still a dream that she hadn't woken up from. Her eyes were turbid. It wasn't until she stopped at Shunzhi's face that a little bit of spirit poured into her. Her lips wriggled a few times with great effort before she finally spat out a few indistinct syllables. She laboriously said, "It's really sad to be a person. Only after you lose something do you know how to cherish it. I was obsessed with revenge. I used to seize power in the palace. I used all my heart to chase after those things that were out of my reach, things that didn't belong to me. I neglected the happiness that was within reach … Only when my life was about to fade away did I know that glory, splendor, wealth, and rank were all fleeting. When all the layers of vanity that blocked my eyes no longer existed, I could see my true feelings clearly. It turned out … the person that occupied my entire heart all this time, the person that I truly loved, was you! If I didn't love you, why would I care so much about your intimacy with the other concubines? If I didn't love you, why would my heart feel like it was splitting open when I thought of killing you with my own hands? It was as if there was an invisible force that made me unable to do it. Do you know? Time and time again, I forced you to answer, and time and time again, I gave you … or I gave myself a chance. If you gave up the throne and peacefully became the Retired Emperor in the palace, I would serve you. If you had no power or influence, we could be an ordinary couple outside the palace, relying on each other for survival. I would still serve you. In this life, to be able to accompany you is the final destination that I seek … I think, in the end, I won't do anything to you. Even if you were willing to sign the edict, I might have other excuses for you. To be able to wholeheartedly think of a person and pay for him, is it … love? "
Shunzhi said, "I know, I know … We both did something wrong. It was us who wanted to waste our precious time fighting. Since we know that we were wrong, God will always give us a chance to change. Now, don't say too much. Rest well. When you get better, we can start again! I promise you, I don't want this throne. Let's go to a place where no one knows and be an ordinary couple in the world. I can ride a horse for you, and you can dance for me. We can play chess together, play music together, and talk about the world together like before. Can you bear to leave me? I promise you, this time it's not just a promise of a monarch, but also my promise to you. Among all the concubines in the harem, I was only forced to accept them because of the political power. But I really love you and only you alone. In the future, there will always be only you. Can we give each other a chance to redeem the sins of the past? "
Shen Shiyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He raised his trembling hand and stroked Shunzhi's cheek. He said softly, "To hear you say this, even if I … die immediately, I have no regrets … Some words, if not said now, I'm afraid that I will never have a chance to say it. Alas … Do you know? It's not that I don't have feelings for you, but … the hatred for a long time blinded my eyes. Now that I think about it … it's too late for regrets. If I … can choose again, I will be well-behaved and live … an ordinary and happy life with you. I will be very … very well-behaved and stay by your side … quietly be your good wife, and won't cause you any trouble. The picture you described … is very beautiful. Such a life, even if it's only for one day, is the greatest gift … from God to me. Wait until the next life … In the next life, I don't want to be that kind of … complicated woman again. And you, don't want to be born in a royal family. That way, we can live a normal life together. We can be together for the rest of our lives … However, the heavens are always cruel to people. When you just … felt happiness, they want to take it away from you. No … it's not that God is heartless, nor is it that God is playing tricks on people … It's our own choice, the only right one … can only be chosen in the end. Yes, people say that good and evil will be rewarded. Sure enough, a bad woman like me doesn't deserve to be happy. My detestable true face, in the end … has been seen by you. In the endless years to come, the impression I can leave in your mind … will probably only be that kind of … insidious and indifferent, right? Unfortunately … I understand this truth too late. Now, it's too late. "
Shunzhi hurriedly said, "It's … it's not too late! I won't allow you to die. I'm the true dragon, the Son of Heaven. Can't I keep the woman I love? Believe me, the imperial doctor will be here soon. We must have a way to cure you. People always make mistakes. I'm not angry with you … I promise, I won't remember all your mistakes. The deepest part of my memory is all your good things, and it's the happiness you bring me. I've never begged someone so humbly. Now I only want to beg you, beg God, don't leave me! Don't leave me alone in this world! "
Shen Shiyun softly said, "I've been in the palace for so many years, and I've exhausted all my schemes. I … I'm already very tired. I want to have a good rest … To be able to die in the arms of the person I love, and before I die, I can still express my feelings to you. This is already … the greatest favor that God has given to me, a bad woman full of sins. What more can I ask for? I'm only afraid that I'll lose this opportunity in the end … I'm not afraid of death, but that you'll hate me, loathe me … These years are all illusions and nothingness. To recognize you … to recognize you, I've truly lived. If death is inevitable in the palace, I … won't regret knowing you, and marrying you … "Her voice was getting lower and lower. At this time, what she saw was mixed with tears, swaying in front of her eyes.
Shunzhi hurriedly said, "That's not a favor. Unless you can live well, then it's a blessing from God! I'll never hate you. Even if you've committed such a big mistake, I'll still forgive you. It's lonely at the top. If you want to rest, let me rest with you, okay? … Okay? "
Xuan Shuang sighed. He seemed to want to lean forward, but Shangguan Yaohua pulled him back and whispered, "Don't go!" The palace hall was silent. Everybody could see that Shen Shiyun's life was at stake. Only Shunzhi was still unwilling to accept it, but nobody dared to point it out. Looking at this scene of life and death, there were many people who used to hate Shen Shiyun. At this time, their noses were sour. Perhaps it's true that when a bird is about to die, its cry will also be mournful. This woman, who had been decisive in killing all her life, her methods swift and fierce, only made people feel that she was particularly pitiful at this moment.
Shen Shiyun wanted to shake her head again, but the wound on her throat had made her neck stiff. It was difficult to turn. She softly said, "What I can't let go of the most is … the Devil Cult's large-scale invasion. That person … he … won't give up easily. He's more persistent than I am, and also … more pitiful than I am. I've spent seven years, but I still can't defeat him. I also know that I shouldn't be too harsh on you. But I can't accept it, I can't accept it. I have to find someone to bear my resentment, and that person … must be … the person closest to me. Your Majesty, husband, it turns out that a long time ago, my heart was already promised to you. Subconsciously, I already … can't leave you. In the future, the Devil Cult … will certainly become a disaster for the Central Plains. It will also be … the Great Qing's biggest enemy. You still have a lot of important things to do. Don't let this little bit of love … hinder your future … "
