The Liang army approached the capital, and suddenly withdrew its troops and returned to Liang.

This was originally a battle that must be won, and when it saw that it was possible to break through the capital, drive the Turks to the north of Juyong Pass, and never dare to invade again, everything came to an abrupt end because of Gongsun Yi's fall off the cliff.

Luo Ning's army searched under the cliff for five days, but found nothing, only some broken limbs and some bloodstained clothes. There were wolves in the forest, so ......

Everyone knew the end, but no one dared to say it. The army was immersed in a dark and dreary atmosphere, and the oppressive atmosphere was breathless, and the joy of victory was washed away at all.

This army barely stopped on the road and went directly back to Daliang.

The entire court hall was also shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

His Majesty drove the expedition in person, but he fell off the cliff again, his whereabouts are unknown, and His Majesty has no queen...... This will bring great disaster to the girders. Once the news spreads, countless ambitious people will be ready to move.

What made the generals even more panicked was that the queen locked herself in the Luanfeng Palace, and no one was seen, even Yinzhu and King Ruyang.

Gongsun Yan raised his head, looked at the closed door, his eyes were red, and he sobbed: "Mother, don't you want me? Mother, you only have Gongsun Yi in your heart, and you don't have half the status of Yan'er at all." If you are determined to abandon the proverb, why did you come to the proverb in the first place? Yan'er has always felt that she is a motherless child, why did her mother surprise Yan'er and leave Yan'er like this?"

Listening to his words, tears fell from her eyes, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She has been by the queen's side for so many years, and she can naturally see how deep the emperor's feelings are.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are together, and life and death depend on each other. But there are still very few such couples in this world, and more of them fly separately when disaster comes. And the emperor and queen are different, after knowing that His Majesty fell off a cliff and died, the queen mother almost followed. Drinking beads can't help but hate the injustice of God, why would such a good person go through such a thing?

If it weren't for the king of Ruyang, if it weren't for the child in the womb, Niangniang would probably have walked with His Majesty on the Huangquan Road at this time.

The mother survived, but locked herself in her room, not eating or drinking.

"Mother, you have to leave the proverb, but the proverb can't leave the mother. Where the mother is going, Yan'er will follow, the mother will not eat, and Yan'er will not eat. Gongsun Yan shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Niangniang, you still have a child in your womb, you eat some for the sake of King Ruyang and for the sake of the child. If Your Majesty knew, he wouldn't want you to do this. The beads spoke to the closed door of the temple.

"If he knew, he shouldn't have left us orphans and widows!" The door of the main hall suddenly opened, and Gu Tianlan stood there with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"I kept thinking, how could he bear it, that if he had any pity on my orphans and widows, he should come back to see me. ”

Gu Tianlan was only wearing a white robe, and in a short period of time, the person quickly lost weight, his clothes were empty, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were even bigger. Her face was pale, there was no sparkle in her eyes, and there was a trace of resentment hidden in her eyes. I don't know whether to resent Gongsun Yi or resent the injustice of fate.

Reliving a lifetime, Gu Tianlan rarely resented.

If there is any hatred, she will report it with her own hands.

But at this time, she was full of resentment.

This appearance is shocking to see the drinking beads, and the mother at this time is a full resentful woman.

The small figure beside Yinzhu was like a sword from the bow, and he quickly rushed forward, hugged Gu Tianlan's thigh tightly, and shouted, "Mother." He burst into tears again.

Gu Tianlan held his stomach and couldn't bend down, so he could only stretch out his hand and stroke Yan'er's face.

"Mother, don't die, don't leave the proverb. ”

Gu Tianlan sighed softly: "Yan'er, you have grown up, and one day you will leave your mother." ”

Gongsun Yan shook his head frantically: "Yan'er doesn't want it, Yan'er wants a mother's kiss." Mothers have proverbs, and there are babies. Could it be that the sum of proverbs and babies is not as important as Gongsun Yi?"

Gu Tianlan closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She stroked Yan'er's little head with one hand and her bulging abdomen with the other, and finally there was a trace of warmth in her cold eyes.

Although the queen still locked herself in the Luanfeng Palace, she began to eat. The king of Ruyang stayed by the queen's side all day long. Those who cared about the queen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was already chaos in the courtroom.

The emperor's life and death are uncertain, and the queen locks herself in the Luanfeng Palace, and the entire beam is in a state of leaderlessness. The entire court was in a panic.

"Ah Yan, I may have chosen the wrong one for my father. Cui Lian said.

"Why did Father say that?" Cui Yan asked.

"Today's saint is the world on horseback, and the generals under him are very angry. When the emperor is there, they can still be suppressed, but when the emperor is gone, no matter who is the emperor, they will not obey. At that time, there will be civil strife in the beams. ”

"There is one person who can suppress these generals. ”

"You mean the Queen?"

Cui Yan nodded.

"Those generals respect the empress, but because the emperor loves the empress, if the emperor is gone, this respect may not be there. The queen is orphaned and widowed, and the situation may be very difficult. Cui Lian said, "Let's just say that Luo Ning, with an army of 100,000 under his command, is the easiest to breed ambition at such a time." ”

Cui Yan disagreed with his father on this point: "Father, you underestimate the queen. It's not that the queen can't, but I'm worried that the queen doesn't want to. ”

Cui Lian sighed: "At such a time, you can only resign yourself to fate. Since his father chose the emperor, he could only live and die with Liang. ”

Cui Lian's concerns are indeed justified.

Luo Ning was still on his way back to Beijing, and his lieutenant general had already led an army of 30,000 outside Kyoto.

Luo Ning's deputy general surnamed Qin Mingyong was a bandit leader who was entrenched on a mountain, and he was friendly with the Sheng brothers and sisters under the throne of Gongsun Yi before. After the Sheng brothers and sisters returned to Gongsun Yi, Qin Yong moved his mind.

He is not an ordinary bandit leader, but an ambitious bandit leader. He felt that if he burned, killed, and robbed like this, he could only rob two more mountains at most, and there was no way out. He wanted more, so he also returned to Gongsun Yi.

He is smarter than the Sheng brothers and sisters, reined in the bandits' temperament, and wholeheartedly helped Gongsun Yi fight the world.

After Gongsun Yi ascended the throne, Luo Ning and Lan Yuande were both crowned princes, and even Yunyao was made marquis, but they only gave him the title of a general, and Qin was already dissatisfied with it.

Qin Yong was afraid of Gongsun Yi, and when Gongsun Yi was there, no matter how much he had to hide, he had to hide it. As soon as Gongsun Yi was away, Qin Yong's mind suddenly became active, and all the dissatisfaction and resentment that had been hidden broke out!

Luo Ning is still on his way back, and it will take at least ten days to reach Kyoto. Lan Yuande was transferred out of Kyoto by Gongsun Yi, this is the time to avoid suspicion, and Lan Yuande will definitely not bring troops to Kyoto. Kyoto had only 5,000 guards, while it had 30,000 on its own.

Qin Yong made an assessment and immediately felt that his opportunity had come! Qin Yong rushed with his troops overnight, quickly rushed to the outside of Kyoto, and came in the name of defending the city.

"Defending the city? With 30,000 soldiers, the momentum is violent, this is also called defending the city? Obviously, he wants to usurp the throne!"

Wenchen gathered in Cui's mansion to discuss this matter.

"Qin Yong is obviously plotting against him, but there is not even a person in charge in the court. I think you'd better pack your things and leave, Kyoto is in danger. ”

"Why do you want to be angry, you and I are both Liang Chen, and if the city is broken, you and I will have to be martyred. This is not the end of the road, if you ask the mother to come forward......"

"But how can a woman and Taoist family deal with bandits like Qin Yong? I think it's better to block the city gate with the bodies of us civil servants. Qin Yong wanted to come in, so he stepped over my body!"

This lord was also fierce, and as he spoke, he really had to go out of the city in a carriage, and ordered someone to open the city gate, and went out of the city himself, and sat cross-legged outside the city gate.

The adult sat down and began to curse Qin Yong.

What kind of wolf ambition, what kind of chaotic minister and thief, this big man has a very good mouth, and even scolded the eighteen generations of Qin Yong's ancestors.

Qin Yong listened expressionlessly, and even plucked out his ears, and then the sword in his hand pierced directly into the adult's heart.

A sword killed him, and blood stained the city gates red.

When the Wenchen in Kyoto heard this, several of them were so frightened that their legs weakened.

Qin Yong is a chaotic minister and thief!

"The queen mother, orphans and widows, you people are tightly closed at the city gate, do you want to do anything to the mother? The minister was entrusted by His Majesty to protect the safety of the mother and the dragon heir. After another hour, Niangniang didn't come to see the minister, then it must have been something you did to Niangniang, and the minister had to rush in!" Qin Yong shouted outside the city gate.

Qin Yong's meaning is obvious, either he obediently opens the city gate, or he will attack the city. If he opens it obediently, he can still spare the lives of the people inside, but if he breaks it, it will be full of rebellious ministers and thieves, and he will kill on a large scale.

To open, or not to open?

"Of course you can't open it, if you open it, you and Qin Yong are generally chaotic ministers and thieves!Father, you go to the city gate to guard, and I will immediately enter the palace to see Niangniang!"

Cui Yan said and immediately rode to the palace.

When Cui Yan arrived, Gu Tianlan was dining with King Ruyang. The unhurried appearance was not affected by the panic of the outside world at all.

When Gongsun Yan saw Cui Yan, he immediately got up and saluted Cui Yan: "Master." ”

Cui Yan nodded and looked straight at Gu Tianlan: "Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain, the courtiers and the people are panicking, and the generals are about to move, so Niangniang just sits idly by?"

Gu Tianlan said in a light tone: "This is Gongsun Yi's country, he should hurry back when he sees it and stop this scene." ”

"Is Niang Niang angry with Your Majesty, or with herself?" Cui Yan said.

Gu Tianlan was silent and did not speak.

"The country is broken, the world is in chaos, is this what Niangniang is looking forward to watching? The minister has always thought that Niangniang is different from other women, and will not be confined to love and unable to extricate herself. If the mother is the queen, she must consider the people of the world, and if the mother is the mother, she must consider the king of Ruyang and the child in the womb. ”

Gu Tianlan said: "That disappointed you, I am no different from ordinary women. ”

"Does Niangniang think that His Majesty is really gone? Niangniang is like this, which is to kill the last trace of hope for His Majesty's life. ”

Gu Tianlan's eyes finally fluctuated.

She never believed that Gongsun Yi was dead.

How could he die?

She was angry with him and waited for him to return.

In vain for her two lives, what she did was so naïve.

She's going to look for him, and she'll find him wherever he's hiding.

It's just that before that, she has to help him defend his country.

Gu Tianlan stood up, his hand on his bulging abdomen, and his eyes gradually hardened. The temperament of the whole body also changed suddenly, decadence and mourning disappeared, replaced by an awe-inspiring momentum.
