In the winter of the fifteenth year of Donghe Shi Youqing's reign, Empress Dowager Duanmu Shengwu died of illness in a palace in Qianxi.
His body was laid to rest for seven days and he was buried in the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs.
The snow in the imperial capital began to fly all over the sky again, and the chill brought by the wind and snow filled every corner, reflecting the oldness and confusion of people's hearts.
In the huge Qianxi Hall, there was a huge golden nanmu coffin.
A man wrapped in linen knelt quietly, his eyebrows lowered and his expression unclear.
There are two burning white candles standing on the table for enshrining incense candles.
The flames are beating in the biting wind, endlessly, as if they will never tire.
An old eunuch in royal robes bent over and walked quickly into the palace, knelt behind him and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you have been kneeling for a long time, it's time to eat something."
The man seemed to have never heard of it, and his waist remained straight.
Duan Ye sighed in his heart and advised again: "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of yourself.
The Queen Mother will not be at ease if she knows that you don't take care of your body so much."
After a long time, he spoke slowly, his hoarse and deep voice full of desolation: "Duan Ye, do you think this is my retribution?
All the people I value have left me one by one."
Duan Ye couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please don't think too much.
You have done nothing wrong."
Zheng Yu sneered when he heard this: "You have done nothing wrong, so why did the imperial sister insist on leaving me?
Why did Yun Xiu not want me?
And now, even my mother has abandoned me."
In the shadow reflected by the candlelight, his silhouette was clear and desolate.
It's also long, like this old but irredeemable time.
He stood up tremblingly, his raised face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he looked extremely haggard.
Duan Ye quickly stepped forward to support him.
Zheng Yu suddenly broke away from his support, turned around and walked step by step towards the heavy snow outside the palace.
The cold snow flakes were carried by the wind and hit his face, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
Duan Ye anxiously took a mink fur and put it on him, but he knocked it down to the ground with a raised hand.
"Your Majesty, put it on, you will be protected from the cold."
Zheng Yu just shook his head, his lips almost pale.
But his mouth was still cold: "Step aside, I want to be alone for a while" "Your Majesty," Duan Ye suddenly fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "You can't do this to yourself, the people are still waiting for you.
This old slave has watched you grow up, and he will stop you even if he dies.
You Think about it, if the eldest princess was still alive, how distressed she would be."
Zheng Yu hurriedly fell into the snow, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Even if the imperial sister is still alive, how can she feel sorry for me?
She blames me for not being able to do it in time.
I pushed her away with my own hands."
The north wind passed over the high palace walls and rolled up the snowflakes in the sky, drowning the sad cries.
However, the thing in this world is that no matter how much you regret, you can't find the way back.
Just like when snow falls, it turns into water and disappears.
It cannot be retained in the world.
The main palace of Lanqing City.
"The Queen Mother is dead."
Yan Ning was a little stunned as she held the latest news.
Gu Mingxuan sat by the window, looking at the tiny falling snow outside the window, holding a cup of scalding tea in his hand.
"It should have happened early this morning."
"How did you die?"
He blew and took a sip of tea: "It must be poison."

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.
Xuanyin will probably give up on Donghe, otherwise he would not let her die like this."
Gu Mingxuan did not answer and cast his gaze towards the gloomy sky.
Yan Ning followed his gaze and looked out, only to see endless white snow.
She sighed, another heavy snowstorm was coming, but she didn't know if she could survive this year's new year.
The charcoal fire warmed the whole room.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to see Cheng Ning and Qing'er.
It's too cold.
I'm afraid they won't adapt."
When he walked to Gu Mingxuan, he grabbed his wrist and sat next to him.
He looked at her and asked seriously: "Aning, do you regret coming back with me?"
"Why do you ask?"
He rested his chin on her shoulder and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Because I can't bring you a peaceful life.
Next spring, I will capture the imperial capital and unify Donghe."
Yan Ning took a breath: "Have you decided yet?"
He nodded but said nothing.
Yan Ning thought for a long time before speaking: "To be honest, I regret it.
I'm really tired of the endless intrigues in those years.
The moment I woke up in Changping, I decided that no matter whether I could leave For a long time, I hope that I can live peacefully and peacefully, but there are always many variables beyond our control, just like pirates coming, just like Chenye meeting me, just like you traveling thousands of miles away. save me" "The moment I learned the truth, I really blamed you, complained about you, and even hated you."
Her tone was calm and calm, as if she was just talking about something that had nothing to do with herself, "But after a long time I just feel that you are not wrong, Ah Xuan.
Everything you do is for me, but I am too harsh on you."
She smiled, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes: "So when I think about this, I don't regret it anymore.
We are not dead, we are all still well, this is God's blessing.
What reason is there for not to be together?"
Gu Mingxuan looked at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart.
He hugged her gently, treating her like a treasure, and whispered in her ear: "Yeah, is there any reason not to be together?"
At this moment, it was snowy, icy and windy outside, but inside, separated by a window, there was infinite spring.
In the early morning of the next day, during breakfast, a subordinate came to report that Mrs.
Shi, who was locked in a separate courtyard, was crying and asking to see the city lord.
The commotion had been going on all night, and the steward had no choice but to come and report it.
When Gu Mingxuan heard this, he just said coldly: "No matter what method you use, shut her up."
Just as the man was about to go down, Yan Ning pulled Gu Mingxuan and said, "Don't forget that Cheng Ning hasn't seen my mother for a long time.
Let them meet each other."
Gu Mingxuan thought for a while and then said: "Bring her here."
He believed that she would not be able to make any waves under his eyes, so he dared to let her out with confidence.
But if he had known the outcome earlier, he would never have let her out even if he killed that bitch with one sword.
So many people didn't expect that she would make a desperate move, and a shining silver dagger suddenly pierced into Yan Ning's body.
Cheng Ning, who came over happily, happened to see this scene.
She only had time to scream before she fainted and fell to the ground.
And she, with blood splattering everywhere, fell into his arms.
Before closing his eyes, he could still see his anxious eyes and thin lips that opened and closed.
But she couldn't hear his words clearly, and she could only feel tiredness coming over her like a tide
