Chapter 280: Sleepless Night
Yueming quietly looked at Yaoling who was squatting down, and her heart ached.
It's time for this girl to see her own heart.
The sun's rays shined through the panes and swayed in a piece of light and warmth, the swallows between the beams whispered, but the Yao Ling in the room seemed to be in the cold winter, and she shivered from the cold.
Tears wet her sleeves, and she buried her face between her arms, sobbing silently.
"Have you figured it out, have you figured out how to do it?" Yueming's cold voice made her feel helpless again.
I wonder if Xiaofeng will become so indifferent and ruthless?
After a long time, she stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at the moon with eyes as bright as black jewels.
"No, I never. ”
Yueming looked at her with a radiant light in her eyes. "Have you decided, this opportunity is missed, but there will be no more. ”
"What if I miss it? I can't be sure what decision he will make when he is not there, but now I am making the decision, and I will follow my wishes and do what I think is right. Yao Ling said sonorously, with an inviolable solemnity and solemnity.
Yueming looked at her quietly, and suddenly he smiled, it was a smile that he had never had on his face, and the smile was so bright, bright and relaxed.
"You are destined not to belong to this palace. Muttered to herself, but Yao Ling didn't hear what he was saying.
"Even if you want to do that, I'll stop it, I just want to see what you can do for Yuening. Yao Ling heard this sentence clearly, and was speechless for a while.
"You are hateful. ”
Yue Ning's face pulled down. Before he could get angry, Yaoling jumped out of the door with a jumper and ran away.
Looking at Yaoling's running figure, Yueming's most corner pulled a shallow smile, "What's the point of being hateful for you once?"
In the Taifu Mansion on the same night, Qin Anwen, who had a calm face, was writing something on the desk, and before long he packed the three letters he had written, and called two armed young men.
He handed them two of the letters, and said, "Hurry up and send them to the border gates." ”
When the two armed guards had left, he called for one of them to pick up the last letter and hand it to him. "Hurry to Yanlong. Tell His Royal Highness the King of Ningjun and ask him to send someone to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's safe return. ”
When all was said and done, he stared blankly at the flickering candle flame on the table for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
At the same time, in front of a large mansion on the edge of the imperial city, a small sedan chair was silently carried into the spacious mansion gate. Then the door was slammed shut.
In a brightly lit room. The chubby old marshal Wu paced anxiously. From time to time, he sighed.
The door creaked open, and from the outside walked a woman in purple, veiled.
"Daddy, you must help your daughter. The voice was tactful and complaining.
When the door behind you is closed. The woman took off her veil and knelt down, but it was the current queen Wu Yan.
"You," Marshal Wu pointed at Wu Yan, speechless.
Wu Yan got up and grabbed Marshal Wu's arm and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"My daughter is now ready to fly, and she has to do it as a last resort"
Marshal Wu took a deep breath.
"You honestly, is the emperor under you" He was interrupted by Wu Yan before he finished speaking.
"Doesn't the father believe his daughter? The daughter has never stepped on an ant since she was a child, and that dares to harm the emperor. She sobbed as she spoke.
"Feng Qing was so right to me, but I never had the heart to harm him, what else can I do except be sad alone? Now he is hurt like this by that woman. I was suspected by my father by the courtiers, but I can imagine that when Fengze returns, I am not dead. ”
"Hey," Marshal Wu sighed helplessly.
Wu Yan wiped away her tears, glanced at Marshal Wu, and then said in a low voice: "I know that since Your Majesty promised the niece of your uncle's family to Feng Ze to be the future queen, my father has given up his support for He'er. But my father and I are also the queen, what can I bring to the Wu family? Because I am not favored by His Majesty, I have been left out in the Fengming Palace, I have the identity of the queen but no queen rights, and the Wu family is also suspicious and guarded by His Majesty everywhere because of my reasons, what is the use of such a queen to the Wu family?"
Marshal Wu's heart moved.
Wu Yan knelt in front of Marshal Wu again.
"Today, I came to my father to help He'er. She threw herself to the ground and wept lowly.
"No matter how bad He'er is, he is also your own grandson, if he becomes the head of a country and lets him change ten queens, he will also kiss you. ”
A gleam flashed in the cloudy old eyes of Marshal Wu.
"Feng Ze has already had a sweetheart, does his father want to watch one of the daughters of the Wu family step into the footsteps of Yan'er?"
The words were filled with sorrow and tears, which broke the hearts of those who listened.
Marshal Wu looked up at the high roof, and two lines of old tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.
The candles in the room were flickering, and an old man with gray hair and a woman lying on the ground and weeping low constituted a sad and vicissitudes of life.
After a long time, Marshal Wu bent down to help Wu Yan, who was full of tears.
"That's it, for the sake of my father, I can't do anything for you, as long as you don't commit the crime of plotting against the king, do whatever you want. ”
Wu Yan's eyelids couldn't help jumping, but the corners of her mouth showed a smile, what she wanted was her father's words, as long as she had her father's support, the guards of the imperial capital would be her Wu Yan's, what else did she have to fear.
"But I have to tell you that the Feng clan has an ancestral motto, that is, once you find out that you have killed your father and kill the king, even if you become the emperor, you will be deposed by the Feng clan, if the Feng clan finds out anything in the future, I will definitely kill you with my own hands for the sake of Wu Mansion. Suddenly, Marshal Wu said coldly, Wu Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble violently, and there was a bone-chilling cold that wrapped her, making her upper and lower teeth bump together.
Tears spilled down his chest, and he smiled desolate and helplessly. "Yan'er here knows that there will be no such day, and Yan'er will definitely not implicate his father and brother. ”
Before the sun rose a tree, a group of soldiers hurried through the street, each in silver armor and spear in hand.
The pedestrians on the road automatically avoided on both sides of the road, and they all stopped to watch, only to see that the group of soldiers stopped at the door of the Xuan Wang's Mansion and ran away quickly, surrounding the Xuan Wang's Mansion in three steps and one post.
"What's wrong with the Xuan Palace?"
There were elderly people in the crowd talking to themselves. More than ten years ago, the incomparably beautiful Xuanwang Mansion disappeared overnight. Now living in the Xuanwang Mansion is Yanlong Proton, isn't it that Dalong has started a war against the Three Kingdoms of Jiangnan?
There was a lot of talk and speculation.
"Your Highness, the gate of the mansion is surrounded by soldiers. ”
A young family member came to the backyard to report to Yueming, who was taking a walk. He was the newly appointed steward of the government when the wind was gone. Of course, he is also a dead man.
Yueming looked at the newly knotted peaches on the peach tree in front of her. The corners of his mouth slightly carried a hint of banter: "It's so fast." ”
"Ah Luo, send someone to West Street to secretly guard the last courtyard with plane trees, and remove the Yi guards. No one else is allowed to approach, and if necessary, the people in the house are to be taken out of the city and protected. He said this for no reason.
The young man named Arlo nodded and was about to leave.
"Prepare the front hall, Your Highness will welcome your guests. ”
Ah Luo's eyes were a little confused, and he didn't know where the distinguished guest came from, but he still promised in his mouth: "Yes"
When Yao Ling in the middle courtyard heard Wu Yu say that there were soldiers besieging the Xuan Palace, she pursed her lips contemptuously. Not to mention a team of soldiers, she is not afraid of the soldiers coming from all over the city, her current wish is to rescue the emperor and recognize her mother as soon as possible.
Thinking of her mother, she became anxious, Yue Feng is now the emperor's personal guard, and the queen must pass Yue Feng if she wants to seize power, so what can she use to blackmail Yue Feng?
Suddenly, she ran out of the door, only to find that there was a person standing in the courtyard outside the door, and the white clothes were clean and dusty.
She couldn't help but stop and look at him.
Wu Yu quietly retreated with interest.
"Come with me to the front hall, a distinguished guest is coming. ”
Yueming said lightly, her face was still plain and calm.
"I" Yao Ling wanted to tell him about her worries, but before she could speak, Yueming continued: "I have ordered A Luo to send people to secretly guard the courtyard on West Street, you don't have to worry. The gentle and shallow words were like a drop of water hitting Yaoling's heart.
There was gratitude in Yaoling's eyes.
The chubby old marshal Wu in the front hall sat on the chair with a serious face, and suddenly a bell came, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"The people of the Ji country openly killed the steward of the emperor's eldest son's mansion, and the emperor was too sad to ignore the government, and ordered the emperor's eldest son to temporarily take care of the affairs of the court, and His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was afraid that the people of the Ji country would disturb the safety of His Royal Highness Ming Tai by taking advantage of the absence of the king of Ningjun, so he sent people to garrison the palace to protect the safety of the Ming prince. ”
He seems to be modest, but there is always some arrogance in his momentum.
Yueming smiled slightly and bowed: "Thank you for the eldest son of the emperor, and thank you for the old general." ”
"Don't leave the mansion if you have nothing to do, His Royal Highness the Prince's two attacks are related to the Xuan Palace, and it is difficult to guarantee that the people of the Ji Kingdom will not fight your idea. ”
Marshal Wu said very seriously, and after speaking, he walked away.
After he left, Yueming and Yaoling looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that Wu Yan must have reached an agreement with Marshal Wu.
"When did you save the emperor. Yaoling asked softly.
Yueming thought about it for a while, and said shallowly, "It's time to see my uncle." ”
Yaoling was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
At this time, she remembered one thing, that is, the man in black she met when she first explored the residence of King Xuan must now be Yue Feng, and she remembered clearly how he looked behind her at that time.
"You go to see the prince, where will I go to the queen. ”
Feng He, who was sitting precariously, looked at the ministers standing at the bottom of the steps, and there was a secret excitement in his heart, the feeling of overlooking everything from above made his blood roll, and the corner of his eyes saw the wide dragon chair and the dragon case, and he had an eager desire in his heart, as long as he stepped there, what would he be afraid of?
Looking at the silent ministers in the hall, he knew very well in his heart that these people were now holding a wait-and-see attitude, these dead-brained courtiers just followed the court outline, and stereotyped thought that he was not the heir to orthodoxy, waiting for Feng Ze to die outside, and then he would let them know what orthodoxy was.
In order to show that he was temporarily in charge of the court, he ordered someone to set up such a small room next to the emperor's imperial study to show that he had no ambitions.
When Lan Yan saw a purple figure flashing into the imperial study, she pursed her lips and smiled disdainfully, how could this brainless Feng He, the jade seal of the country be found casually?
She already knew what was going on in the palace, but now that Feng He was watching closely, her news would not be able to spread for a while, but she believed that it would not be long before Yao Ling would come to her, and with the time she had spent in the palace, she didn't believe that Feng Qing would be easily controlled by the queen and Feng He.
