Chapter 1

"Tick tick"

The underground imperial mausoleum is empty and dark, silent, only the water on the rock falls into the crevice, as if dripping to remember the time. Surrounded by a group of dead people, there is Huo Mingzhu's breathing.

Huo Mingzhu has been sealed in the sarcophagus for three days since the death of the late emperor. She can clearly smell the putrid smell from her body, which is getting stronger and stronger day by day. Her body is dead, but her consciousness is still alive, and every inch of her feeling is clear.

She wanted to move and scratch, but the tendons and veins of her hands and feet were broken, and she couldn't move. She thought of calling someone to kill her and let her die happily, but she had been poisoned dumb, and her throat was dry as fire, and she couldn't say a word. She had lost her eyes. Her eyes were filled with mercury. She only had a pair of false eyes. She thought that even if she could see, what she could see was just the top of the coffin in darkness.

Counting the days, it's time for the new emperor to ascend the throne today. The man she loves is going to be the emperor. Her younger sister, who has been spoiled and grown up, has been granted the title of queen, and her father has become the father of the State... Everyone steps on her bones and climbs up. However, Huo Mingzhu is sealed in the sarcophagus and becomes the criminal concubine of the former Emperor. It's called that every day should not be called "Di Di Bu Ling"!

……

On the sixth day of April in the 28th year of Dayong Tianyou's reign, the palace at the west end of the capital was very busy. Today, the youngest brother of the emperor, Lord Duan, got married to the daughter of general Huo's palace.

Huo Mingzhu, the newly married woman, is putting on her dowry in her boudoir. The beauty in the mirror looks like a beautiful city. She is even more gorgeous because of the wedding. It's been a long time outside, and the sound of firecrackers is also ringing. Maybe the person who is greeting is coming. Huo Mingzhu anxiously turns to look out of the window.

"Oh, sister, you are anxious! The auspicious time is not yet here. It's not dark yet! Are you afraid your brother-in-law can't wait? " Huo Huaiyu, little Huo Mingzhu's two-year-old sister, jokingly pressed Huo Mingzhu's shoulder and refused to let her get up.

Huo Mingzhu blushed and tapped on Huo Huaiyu's head. She said angrily, "children's home, what do you know?"

Huo Huaiyu spat out her tongue. Her face was pretty and lovely. She had a kind of naive taste. With her hair in her hand, she was short and said with a smile to Huo Mingzhu in the mirror: "sister, who said I was small? I am sixteen years old. In the future, I will marry a hero like my brother-in-law! "

When Huo Huaiyu said this, her eyes were shining, but Huo Mingzhu thought she was joking, nodded and said helplessly: "OK, OK, you also marry a hero like your brother-in-law, how about we two heroes then?"

Huo Huaiyu turned lightly and hummed: "sister, you are teasing me again. How can my hero be compared with my brother-in-law? Good man in the world... "

Huo Huaiyu didn't go on talking. After pondering for a while, she turned back to Huo Mingzhu and handed over the tea cup in her hand. She said in a soft voice, "good sister, you are going to get married. From then on, you can't often play with me and play with me. After drinking this cup of tea from my sister, you can be regarded as my practice for my sister."

Huo Mingzhu saw that she suddenly had tears in her eyes and said angrily, "Huaiyu, what can we practice? My sister is just married to Duan Wang's house. It's only two blocks away from our general's house. You can see it if you want to But she still took the cup of hot tea and drank it. After drinking it, she said with a smile to Huo Huaiyu, "are you satisfied? Little ancestor. "

Huo Huaiyu looked at her and murmured, "sister, you are so beautiful. You should be the life of Phoenix. Why do you want to marry Duanwang? You should be a Phoenix. I'll marry brother nine. Why is the best always yours

Huo Mingzhu doesn't know what she means. This "nine elder brother" is her usual nickname for Duanwang Baili Zonglv. In theory, Huo Huaiyu should not be called.

"Huaiyu..." Huo Mingzhu stroked her forehead and shook her head gently. "My head suddenly hurts..."

Huo Huaiyu smile: "pain is right."

Huo Mingzhu can't open her eyes from the daze. She is soft and lies on the dressing table. Although she couldn't move, she was clear headed. She heard someone open the door and come in. Someone started to pick her wedding dress.

"Move quickly, even if you can wait for the prince's residence, your majesty will not be able to delay. Quickly, change the wedding dress for the second young lady and put on the Phoenix crown for the first young lady! Hurry up! You've delayed the important task of Duan Wang. You don't have enough brains to chop! "

It was her father, Huo Zhengde, who was loyal and brave. He was not dignified in the past. He was mixed with a trace of unusual excitement and trembling. In Huo Mingzhu's ears, it was like cooking oil with fire. Her father

"Dad, I know you love me the most. I don't want to go to the palace to express my joy to the old emperor. My sister and I are similar in appearance and look about the same size. It's very suitable for her to go instead of me. Anyway, they are all Huo's daughters, the same." Huo Huaiyu's voice is joyful and bright, like playing a game, which is decided by her.

"No..." Huo Mingzhu is crying in her heart, but nobody cares. It's impossible. Why? She wanted to ask, but she couldn't make a sound. She was delirious and couldn't open her eyes——

In the sound of joy, two wedding sedans were carried out of the general's mansion at the same time, one to the East and the other to the West. When Huo Mingzhu woke up, she was on the bed of the old emperor, who had already died.

Bai Li Zong Lu, who was supposed to be her husband, rushed into the dormitory. His eyes were cold, and he didn't see half of his love. He said in a fierce voice: "Huo Mingzhu, on the day of joy, he dares to murder the emperor, intending to usurp the great Yongjiang mountain!"

She asked: "Huo Mingzhu, a weak woman, how can she have the heart to kill the king and seize the throne?"

Bai Li Zong Lu looked fierce and sneered: "it's impossible for you to be alone, but you and your uncle Pingyang Hou have been planning for a long time, and they just found the military layout map in the imperial city on you. You pretended to go to the palace to be happy, but you were just acting for him! How can the mountains and rivers of the hundred Li family fall into the hands of the Lin family! "

Huo Mingzhu was about to split her heart and hugged his leg: "my uncle, marquis Pingyang, is a close friend of you. The Lin family is a loyal family. In order to stabilize the hundred Li family, many men died in battle. One year ago, my cousin Lin Yunchi died in the first Chenzhou war. The only blood of the Lin family has been broken. Now there are only old and weak widowed mothers left. How can they be traitors! But I am loyal to who I love and who I seek medical care for. I nearly died in the cold of Northwest China, but after I recovered, I left an eye disease. Duan Wang knows best! "

Hundred Li Zong law kicked her hand, no longer listen to her excuse: "Huo Mingzhu, let your eloquence, today also can't escape the responsibility! Since I owe you one eye, I will pay you back! Come, dig out the eyes of the guilty concubine, fill them with mercury, break their veins, and lock them with black iron! It's up to you to exterminate the anti thief Marquis Pingyang! "

Her father Huo Zhengde became the executioner of Baili Zong law. In order to make a confession to Baili Zong law, he personally cut off her tendons. Regardless of her hoarseness, he announced that he would kill her relatives: "Huo Mingzhu is a criminal who killed his monarch. In the name of the Huo family ancestral hall of Lin's, they have nothing to do with the Huo family ever since! Hou Lin of Pingyang is willing to take the lead in the rebellion against Yue. He will do his best for Da Yong and die later! "

With broken tendons and empty eyes, she let her blood and tears flow out and said with a tragic smile to her father, "Huo Zhengde, do you remember how you came from a military career to be a loyal general today? My grandfather promoted you. Do you remember how my mother died? Because you were infected with the plague at the border, my mother took care of you for several months without sleep, and finally died of chronic fatigue. Today you are going to blade your benefactor with your hand, drive the spirit of your deceased wife out of the ancestral temple, cut off the tendons of her hands and feet, and dig out her eyes. How can you do that? "

Her father's voice sounded just and awe inspiring: "I, Huo Zhengde, have been loyal to the imperial court and his majesty all my life. If anyone dares to rebel and usurp the throne, even my wife, uncle and daughter can do it! Pearl, I'm no longer your father, but if you do something wrong, you have to admit it. "

She laughed, curled up in a pool of blood, looks like a ghost, sad and terrible: "ha ha ha, you have to admit something wrong? I was wrong because I didn't know that my father had conspired with Duan Wang to take advantage of my grandfather's family's influence, and then I used my marriage to achieve great success! Now my son is useless to my father and Duan Wang, so I don't care about my family and human relations! Is my last use to tell the world about the death of the emperor, so that I can step on the throne of Pingyang Marquis's house and me? "

"How dare you! Come on, fill the dumb medicine! I won't let her continue talking Bai Li Zong LV became angry when he was angry.

What a god of war Duanwang, a hero of Dayong, a kind father, both loyal and filial!

Seven days later, Huo Mingzhu was buried in a sarcophagus. Before the coffin was covered, Huo Huaiyu, the younger sister of Princess Duan, attached to her ear and said with a smile: "elder sister, you have everything since childhood, and your grandmother loves you most. You choose the rest of my life... But look at the end of those who love you! My grandmother and uncle Zhong have all been killed. My uncle's head is still hanging on the city gate. Even the tomb of my cousin Yunchi, who was only devoted to you, has been dug up. Although he died early, his corpse will be put to death! Ha ha ha, who let them all love you... And elder sister, you have nothing. Look at your ugly face, elder brother Jiu will never want to look at you again... "

Huo Mingzhu can't move, can't speak, can only let Huo Huaiyu as if speechless continue to say: "sister, do you still remember? You loved me the most when you were young. Now I love Jiu Ge very much. Long before you got married, I had his children for two months. Sooner or later, I would marry him. Just take it as a good thing and hurt me for the last time. Tomorrow, when the ninth elder brother becomes emperor, I'll be the queen, lin'er in my belly will be the prince, and I'll be my elder sister. You'll build a monument of merit and virtue, and we'll remember you for the rest of your life! "

Huo Mingzhu silent laughter, empty eyes, no tears, no blood, what a monument of merit! What a memory of her life!

Huo Mingzhu lived for 18 years. She was filial to her parents, loved her sister and loved her infatuately. She came to such a miserable end! If there is an afterlife, she will let them repay what they have taught her a thousand times a hundred times - hypocrisy, human face and animal heart. In order to achieve the goal, close relatives can be killed!
