The Rippling Empress - Chapter 150. The Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Night King

Beside the osmanthus tree and the stone table, as if knowing they were coming, tea had already been prepared.
"So she's not as good as you said. She's somewhat as beautiful as Consort Mei, but not as alluring. She even looks a bit silly. She's actually a good match for you, you silly boy. But why did Feng'er become silly along with her?"
"You're being a bit biased with your words," Tang Bi couldn't help but pout her red lips slightly annoyed. "Xiao Mo is much better than his brother."
"Oh!" The Empress Dowager frowned upon hearing this. "What's wrong with Feng'er?"
"What's so good about him?" Tang Bi retorted sarcastically. "Isn't it just that he has the lousy title of an emperor? Xiao Mo has that too..."
“Sister!” Long Yinmo squeezed Tang Bi’s hand hard. Tang Bi stuck out her tongue at him and smiled shyly, “I’m sorry, I just felt indignant on your behalf because I heard that your mother was being so biased.”
Long Yinmo stroked Tang Bi's face with emotion. Their eyes met, filled with tenderness. As their heads drew closer, the old woman coughed lightly twice. They quickly looked up. "Mother, don't scare her. I know you love my brother, but my sister..."
This time, Tang Bi squeezed Long Yinmo's hand, and Long Yinmo chuckled and stopped talking.
The Empress Dowager sighed, then suddenly her expression changed, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Mo'er, she is truly a treasure bestowed upon you by heaven. It's a pity that your elder brother..." With that, she personally got up and helped Tang Bi up. Tang Bi was flattered and withdrew her hand, then helplessly took Long Yinmo's hand.
Long Yinmo smiled and helped her up. "Sister, don't be shy. Come, sit here."
"Look how spoiled you are." The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them holding hands with a kind smile and sighed, "Mo'er, women shouldn't be spoiled too much. If you spoil them too much, they will become lawless."
"Mother!" Long Yinmo cried out, "Your son finally managed to force my sister to come, are you trying to send us away?"
"You," the Empress Dowager tapped Long Yinmo's head, "you've been so stubborn since you were little, and you're still the same now that you're grown up. I never thought it would be you who dared to compete with your brother. Look at your brother now..."
"He deserves it." A cold voice came from inside the room. Long Yinmo stroked Tang Bi's slightly furrowed brows. This woman cares about him, but doesn't she care about her elder brother?
"Ye'er, come out and see your seventh brother."
"I don't want to see Long Yinfeng's woman." The voice inside was cold and ruthless, full of murderous intent and disgust, which made Tang Bi tremble. Who could hate Long Yinfeng to this extent? Even from several feet away, she could feel a chilling aura.
Long Yinmo comforted Tang Bi, while the Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly, "This child is very stubborn."
Tang Bi patted Long Yinmo's hand, smiled proudly, and called out sweetly into the room, "It's okay if you despise me, as long as you don't fall in love with me at first glance. My man is outstanding enough, you..."
"Shut up." With a cold shout, a black light swept out from Xi Shen Mu Xia. At the same time, a person and a chair landed on the ground. At first glance, Tang Bi's expression was slightly surprised. Although the man's skills were profound, he seemed unable to unleash them. However, his gaze was like that of a wolf or an eagle, and it felt as if two cold killing intents shot into Tang Bi's heart.
Tang Bi blinked, and her dark eyes automatically glowed blue, as if to resist his ferocity. A chilling aura suddenly rose between them. Long Yinmo was startled and pulled Tang Bi into his arms. He knew about his fourth brother's Yin energy, but Tang Bi's reaction worried him. To frighten her spiritual arts out of control was beyond his imagination.
"Fourth Brother, you scared her." Long Yinmo said with slight annoyance, "She is her, and your brother is your brother. Don't transfer your hatred for him onto her."
Long Yinye's sharp, hawk-like gaze turned into a cold, mocking sneer. "Is this kind of trash worth fighting over between you two brothers?"
"If I heal your crippled hands and feet, will you join this competition?" Tang Bi asked provocatively, her displeasure evident.
"What?" the Empress Dowager exclaimed in shock, exchanging bewildered glances with Long Yinye before turning to Long Yinmo. "She means..."
Long Yinmo gave Tang Bi a nervous look, and Tang Bi smiled coldly, "No wonder Long Yinfeng imprisoned you here. You told him that you are not only a threat, but also a menace."
"You..." The man on the chair gripped the frame tightly, but trembled so much that he couldn't muster any strength, and veins bulged on his forehead.
The Empress Dowager looked at her frantic son and felt so heartbroken that she almost cried. However, she thought it would be good for someone to provoke him, because she was afraid that he would die of depression in this Forbidden City.
"Sister, please, for my sake, don't do this." Long Yinmo knew Tang Bi's personality all too well. When she was obedient, she was as gentle and kind as a little white rabbit, but if anyone crossed her bottom line, she would become as cold and hard as a proud phoenix, as if only the tragic beauty of being reborn from the ashes could make up for the fragility in her heart. However, the next second he was startled. Why was he here too? This was bad.
Tang Bi seemed to sense it too. She took Long Yinmo's hand, gave the Empress Dowager a shy smile, and said that Long Yinfeng had inherited his mother's nobility, while Xiao Mo had inherited her elegance and poise. In truth, she should call her "Mother." "Let's go."
"So soon?" The mother was clearly reluctant to let go. She had finally looked forward to the arrival of her son and daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been born into an imperial family, she would probably already have a house full of children and grandchildren.
"Since Brother Wang has given the order, Mother can go down the mountain with Mo'er if she is willing."
"No, Ye'er and I are used to living here, it's good to be away from the world."
"Then..." It's too late.
Long Yinfeng's figure swept up with a hearty laugh. His gaze swept over the two's tightly clenched hands, and he leaned in displeasure, forcefully pulling their hands apart in front of the Empress Dowager. Long Yinmo was still hesitant, and he easily pulled the flustered Tang Bi into his arms, wildly seizing her lips and kissing her fiercely. "Bi'er, if you want to see my mother, just tell Feng."
"Does Bi'er want to heal that person's hands and feet? Should I tell you?"
"You dare!" Long Yinfeng's expression suddenly changed. "If you dare to heal his hands and feet, I will break them." His hand suddenly pointed at Long Yinmo. The Empress Dowager and Long Yinye swallowed hard as they watched this scene. Was this the same high and mighty emperor they knew? He was acting like an unreasonable child.
Tang Biyan smiled, the setting sun shining brightly on her face. "I didn't want to talk to him because he hates you so much, but you used Xiao Mo to threaten me. Heh, how could I not give you a threat in return for such a ruthless move?"
"You..." Long Yinfeng was on the verge of tears, and tightened his arms around her waist. "Can you please stop being so willful?"
"Who told you to be so domineering!" Tang Bi poked his chest with her finger. "Xiao Mo's mother is also your mother, and your mother is also my mother, no..." Tang Bi wished she could bite off her own tongue. She pushed him away in embarrassment and anger, her face beaming with excitement and triumph. "In the end, you just want to recognize your mother."
"Alright, for Mother's sake, I'll let you off the hook for threatening Xiao Mo for now, but I do really want to cure him now."
"Why?"
"I already said it's for Mother's sake." Tang Bi smiled slyly. Long Yinfeng was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her, but instead of slapping her face, he hit her pretty buttocks hard.
"Ouch." Tang Bi was both embarrassed and annoyed. How could the Emperor and the Spirit King have such different preferences?
The Empress Dowager was both amused and exasperated. Her two sons treated this woman with contrasting attitudes—one firm, the other gentle; one domineering, the other indulgent. Despite the changing dynamics, it all boiled down to love. She looked just like a mischievous and adorable little child.
Tang Bi laughed and hid under Long Yinmo. Long Yinfeng chased after her angrily, hitting her as Tang Bi ran away laughing. The laughter of the three of them filled the flat and desolate mountaintop with joy. In Long Yinye's eyes, besides hatred, there was also a trace of envy that was hard to detect.
他回想着小时候和哥哥弟弟在花园跑，回想着他策马奔腾，回想着他抡枪上阵，回想着他愤怒地持剑插入了……他惊出一声的冷汗，却发现自己的目光追随着那个如蝶似梦般轻快的身影，想抽都抽不回来。
炊烟已从身后的茅屋上缓缓飘上了暗蓝的天空，暮色总是不紧不慢地走来。圣母太后心情从来没有如此宽慰过，两个儿子爱上同一个女人，似乎不是想象中那么可怕，反倒是……热闹许多，如果他们能一直这么幸福下去，未曾不是件毁天灭地的事，怕只怕这女人如果真的同时爱了那么多个男人，那他们所分得的快乐……她边做着饭菜，边想着，心中浮现出当年和先王时不时一起南争北战，苦着，怕着，却也很快活。
对，就像现在这样的快活。
“好吧，我想说，我喜欢不爱我的男人。”唐碧笑倒在龙胤墨怀中，推开龙胤风凑上的唇。
“歪理。”龙胤风不满地叫道，掠夺惯了的人，终究很容易便将樱桃小口吻得气喘吁吁。
“行了，别闹了，该吃饭了。”圣母太后一声令下，龙胤风抱起唐碧率先抢了个座位，龙胤墨帮忙端菜盛饭的，他却像个爷们一样，只顾着逗弄怀中的女人。
“放我下来，你这样让我觉得自己像贵妇人养的小狗。”唐碧寻了个远离龙胤风的位置坐下，而唯一的位置，便是龙胤夜和圣母太后的中间。
“自己种的瓜果，比不得你宫里，回去再让奴才们给你补点吧。”圣母太后对有一口没一口的龙胤风说道。
“倒不是娘的菜不好，是风儿嘴巴被这女人养刁了。”龙胤风指着唐碧叹道。
“吃饭还塞不住你的嘴。”唐碧羞恼地瞪过去，龙胤墨呵呵一笑，“来，姐姐尝尝这个。”
有唐碧夹在中间，圣母太后想给龙胤夜夹点菜，却总是被献殷勤的两兄弟给挡住了，因而龙胤夜连拿筷的手都直颤抖，身边的女人体香幽幽，巧笑悦耳，令他心烦意乱，霍然搁下了碗，兀自吃力地推着轮子推开了。
仰望着趋近圆月的夜，龙胤夜此刻比被废的那日更烦躁愤怒。他眼红过他的出世，眼红过他的宝座，眼红过父母对他的厚爱，可此刻却眼红他们的欢笑。
他龙胤夜最不需要的就是这样的虚无，龙胤夜要的是有血有肉，实实在在，与狼嗥月夜，秃鹰捕猎般在夜色中演绎美华绝伦的凄美，不是吗？
禁锢数载，孤独与残缺磨不去他的狠戾，灭不了他的阴毒，这小小的欢馨，能毁灭他龙胤夜的噬血之心吗？
唐碧仰躺在茅屋上，左手被握的是龙胤风，右边是小墨，只因她想看月空，龙胤风却无法将她强行带行，小墨也不甘示弱。
“他真是奇怪的人。”唐碧像似在自言自语。
“谁？”龙胤风忍不住问。
“轮椅上的人。”月光洒在身上，唐碧心中升起了特殊的悸动，仿佛感应到奇妙的源泉般，只感觉到体内有股温泉缓缓流淌着。
“你最好别对他感兴趣。”龙胤风认真而严肃地说：“否则我很难保证他能活下去。”
“为什么？”
“四哥想要得的东西，会不顾一切。”龙胤墨声若幽月，清冷又不似温柔，“若得不到的东西，会亲手毁掉。”
“呵。”唐碧懒懒一笑，“你大哥难道不是这样？碧血噬情蛊害得我们这么惨，哦，对了。”翻过身去，对上龙胤风的金眸，在月光下这样的眼眸看起来如猫眼般吓人，“他们说你解了我的蛊，为什么不给小墨也解了。”
龙胤风瞳孔抽搐，不敢看她的眼眸，别过头去，“不早了，回宫吧。”
唐碧回眼看着龙胤墨，心中越发忐忑不安了，龙胤风不说，小墨不说，洛哥哥和莫冉仿佛人间蒸发了，快十来天了，也不见人影。吴少南时常还能见他来讨杯茶，可也鲜少坐一坐，无形的风暴仿佛在这个月圆之夜要暴发了般。
三人跃了下来，却愕然发现下面的母子两人跪下在了地上。
“娘，您这是……”龙胤墨慌忙上前去扶。
圣母太后抬头看向紧抿着唇瓣，脸部线条绷得如刀削般的龙胤风，“风儿，娘不求下山，只求你让她治好你四弟。”
“别逼我。”龙胤风冷冷地别过头去，深吸了口气，“他与我的仇，我可以不计较，但弑父夺位，杀鸡取卵的人，无法被原谅。”
唐碧听罢心惊不已，原来他们还有这样的一段怨恨，难怪对他的眼，便仿若掉入了地狱血池般惊惧。
圣母太后面露凄迷，却是无言以对。
龙胤咬牙切齿地冷笑，“若不是他杀了父王，龙凌怎么会被早早被唐家虎视耽耽；若不是他拨乱外患，本王又怎么会处于四面楚歌的困境；若不是他杀尽忠臣，本王又何况迎合奸妄贪污的小人而苦苦挣扎；本王动不得周卫文那个败坏朝纲的小人，却还得迎合他的淫荡女儿……”
“你这说的是她吧。”龙胤夜终于出口了，他吃力地爬了起来，几乎用尽了浑身的力气才翻坐在轮椅上，直勾勾地看着唐碧冷笑道：“娘，别求他。”
唐碧被他看得脸色通红，他分明是意指唐家，骂她淫荡，“你这么有骨气，何须下跪？”
龙胤夜桀骜不驯地傲然一笑，“原以为你是特殊的，原来也不过是个小女子。”
“你什么意思？”
“男人征服了天下而得到了女人，女人征服了男人而……”他定住了话，唐碧惊然失色，然而他的弦外之间又何尝只有她才听得懂。“而我龙胤夜，却恰恰相反，所以……我愿意被你征服。”
他暗沈的眼眸散发出绿色的光芒，这绝对不是爱的昭示，这是……噬血的气息。“如果你愿意得天下，我便助你平……”
“定”字还没说出口，一巴掌便扇了过去，出手的不是龙胤风，更不是龙胤墨，也不是唐碧，而是……恨铁不成钢的母亲──圣母太后，“你疯了，看来你真的得一辈子呆在这儿，最后终老孤死。”
龙胤夜只是轻轻地摸了摸火辣辣的脸，微微抬起头对上了唐碧的眼，唇角流露放荡不羁的笑，“你和我是一样人，只不过你还没觉醒罢了，所以……你会来找我的。”
唐碧几乎是落荒而逃般抓着龙胤墨跳下了悬崖，龙胤风扫了他一眼，若有所思地笑道：“这一眼，你够狠的。”他随之追了上去，脑海中浮现的，是盘龙山脉，唐碧插着龙凤钗的狂肆与绝裂。
你们喜欢天下，那我就……给你们天下！
王令，龙飞凤舞钗……天下，此刻是我唐碧的，你们来抢啊！
龙胤风出奇的安静，送唐碧回碧波殿后，也不驱赶龙胤墨，兀自回了龙凌殿，苏含正像小蚂蚁般勤恳恳地替自己整理着奏章，分门别类地摆好，以轻重急缓，井然有条地排放着。
这些年来，他从来都没发现，灯下的他做起事来真的很认真，而他却从来没看朝下看过，目光永远往上，再往上，却是越看越孤独，越看越心冷。而这低头一看，反倒令他温馨不已。
若是他此刻为碧儿而忙，想必她一定会心疼他么这个好下人，天，他在想什么呢？难道他被龙胤夜惊疯了吗？碧儿……他该拿她怎么办？她会要这王座吗？她连他都不屑一顾，更别提这冰冷的帝位了。
连日来天天与她狂欢，却越来越感觉到抓不住，仿佛这幸福都是偷来的，抢来的，随时都会烟消云散般。她不在身边的时候，思着她，念着她，心是安定的，可此刻，心地是飘散的。
如果两人的爱早已拧成了一根紧绷的弦，那以前他还能感觉到弦的两条绑着两颗心，可现在身子被他绑近了，心却似乎远了。
还记得她那日在南水渭城，她抱着他的腰，“不……我是恨你，可说什么葬呢？”
“如果你能把灵魂剖给我，我会把我的命留给你。”
“想我，只因为这具身体？”
“王，您回来了。”苏含连忙迎上，搀扶着有些晕眩的龙胤风，“是不是累了，要不要……”
“本王饿了！”
“那要不……起驾碧波殿。”
龙胤风白了他一眼，“本王是肚子饿了。”
“呃？王不是喜欢吃娘娘……”苏含顿时住嘴了，却发现自己的回答令人浮想联联，他羞愧地无地自容。
“I do want to eat her, but didn’t Long Poxiang already order it? Bring some more tomorrow.” Long Yinfeng followed up on his words, watching his handsome face turn red and white in turns, and realized that this kid was indeed quite interesting. “Alright, I’ve eaten enough for today. Go and tell them to prepare some exquisite food to send to me, and send a portion to Bibo Palace as well.”
Su Han accepted the order and left. When she returned, she was carrying a food box. "The Empress instructed me to bring this to the King. It's freshly cooked."
Long Yinfeng was overjoyed, but after opening the lid, he said disappointedly, "This is all there is to it."
"The Empress said these are wife cakes, so she only made about ten..."
"Wife cake, interesting." Long Yinfeng's golden eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab it. Although he had run this far, it was still quite hot. The crust was thin and the filling was thick, moist and smooth, and the taste was sweet but not greasy. It was indeed a good snack. Long Yinfeng ate one, then grabbed another, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and glared at Su Han, "You didn't eat any, did you?"
Su Han moved her lips hesitantly, then lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Damn it." Long Yinfeng looked at the dishes that the eunuch was serving one after another. "I order you to eat everything on this table."
Su Han was so scared he almost collapsed. Good heavens, he'd rather get a beating than be stuffed to death!
"Hmph, you dare to eat my wife's cake? I'll make you burst!" Long Yinfeng retaliated fiercely, completely disregarding his image.
"Brother King, are you starving? Why are you serving so much food and wine in the middle of the night?" The wicked laughter of the Prince of Yun rang out from outside the palace. Su Han hurriedly got up. "Your Majesty, you've come at the right time. The Emperor has prepared food and wine for you... Let's drink until we're drunk!" After saying that, he fled in a panic.
"Huh?" The two kings looked at each other in bewilderment.
