Chapter 10 Fire

"Just because she's my mother-in-law?" Ye Daiwan knew her thoughts very well. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes. But the Ministry of Rites, which is in the hands of the Cui family, doesn't think so. Because a madman regent will only make the country worse. So the candidate they proposed was King Changle Yi. He is a lineage of Dongshan Gong, when Emperor Mu Er was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Emperor of the Waste, invaded Shangjing, killed the Emperor of the Wasteland, and named the son of the Emperor of Dongshan, swept the court, and ascended the throne as the emperor. This also made King Changle Yi's succession to the throne backward. The throne is not on his head for the time being, so it is the safest. Xie Zhang was very disdainful of this remark.

"But there can never be a safe place for power. Otherwise, there would be no Emperor Muer on the throne. Ye Daiwan is sober. Well, there's one more more to the list of enemies that can't be any longer, and God knows how long that piece of paper would have to be if this list had been written. I feel like my stomach bag is going to fall off, help.

"It's good, stay awake. Then, of course, there are other questions. But now it's the regent that you need to be wary of. Throughout history, no matter which dynasty, the regent and the king have never died, without exception. But Xie Zhang couldn't tell Ye Daiwan where the Xie family was standing.

"Remember what your teacher taught. Ye Daiwan knew it, and she also didn't say her plan. The Xie family may be on her side, because she is young and easy to domesticate, and she really sounds like an animal. But it is more likely that it will not, because it is clear that Xie Zhang did not confess everything to her.

"Your Majesty, are you still awake?" By the way, tonight is Lu Shushen's vigil. Originally, because Ye Daiwan accepted some maids in the palace, she no longer kept vigil. Because the vigil is a very hard job, especially if the other party is still an unwieldy emperor. The incident itself is hilarious enough. I've heard of the unpowerful prince, but I've never heard of the unpowerful emperor.

But tonight is different. The succession ceremony will be held tomorrow, and as long as she lives to that time, her first goal will be achieved, to become an empress. Even if she was assassinated and killed after that, she would have been given a nickname. How inferior is the living to the things of the dead. Meowth would have despised her, well, though he had always liked to do so.

"Yes. Shushen, you go to sleep first. I'm just ......" Ye Daiwan tried to express herself, but she couldn't find a suitable word. The candle flame flickered, teasing the shadow of the curtain-illuminated wall, like a black demon dancing its teeth and claws in the dimness.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the succession ceremony. It's better to rest early. Lu Shushen's voice was softer than usual. She also understands the worries of the girl in front of her, in this palace for more than ten years, she has seen all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and she will cherish such pure whiteness more and more.

"I was a little nervous. Caution. Ye Daiwan sat up, and Lu Shushen knelt on the edge of the bed. "Tomorrow, tomorrow. But I'm a little scared, so cautious. Tomorrow, those people, I'm going to face those people. Those who want to kill me, who will kill me in the future, will stand opposite me. I feel like I have to face the whole world, I'm so scared. Isn't that stupid?"

Ye Daiwan didn't know why she revealed her heart, maybe the atmosphere was too soft, maybe Lu Shushen's voice was too gentle, which made her relax a little. She looked at Lu Shushen's eyes, which were so dark and shiny in the dim room that she couldn't read, but they made her feel at ease.

"Nope. Not really. Lu Shushen sat up straight and said softly. "Your Majesty is indeed weak now, but it is not forever. It's like an ancient tree that reaches into the sky is not so tall when it sprouts. Time can change everything. You don't need to worry because it's not the whole world on your side. ”

Ye Daiwan lifted the curtain and looked directly into her eyes, which was sincere without anything mixed in. "What else isn't standing across from me?"

"The people. If the people of the world could understand you, they would never stand against you. Because you will become a wise man, love the people, and create the best future that no one else can give them. Lu Shushen said so destinedly, as if that were a fact.

Ye Daiwan is a little funny, she doesn't have this confidence herself, but it feels good to be believed. Her hand was suddenly touched, and she was startled, and she settled down to see that it was Shushen.

Lu Shushen clenched her hand and continued in the most gentle and firm tone. "And me. ”

"I'm on your side. I swear allegiance to you, with my life. She kissed Ye Daidu's fingers, and her pious eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Daidu.

Ye Daiwan smiled. "I allow your loyalty. But you are not allowed to die. ”

Once again, the long bell of the palace was runged. Lu Shushen immediately stood up, listened carefully, and immediately shouted out in a panic. "It's a fire, southeast corner. That's the location of the Xuanwu Temple. Oh my God, the tablets of the emperors...... Incense ......"

"How far is it from here?" asked Ye Daiwan calmly, but her shoeed fingers trembled. "Who's keeping vigil outside the door today?"

"It's not General Jiang Ying. He's not on duty until daylight tomorrow. "Because tomorrow is the most dangerous time. Of course, it's also dangerous now. Why killing people and setting fires are the best to do at night, help. Lu Shushen immediately realized that the night attack was the same as before. But even worse, this time there was no General Jiang Ying's protection. "It's General Xu Jingming. ”

"The surname is Xu. Okay, who lined up the schedule?"I owe him eight generations of ancestors! No matter how much I can disguise Ye Daidui, I can't help but want to smack him in the face. This is simply a speeding effect on the amulet. Well, you can't expect her three-inch incorruptible tongue to impress the other party. What's next?

"No, there is the Lu family in the vigil, and the concubine may be able to do something. Please wait here for Your Majesty, it's too dangerous outside. Lu Shushen's mind spun quickly, but the noise disturbed her a little. Her serious face was full of panic.

"It doesn't matter if they don't succeed, as long as they hesitate. Where's Qingzhan? Ye Daiwan put on her coat and looked out the window full of firelight, maybe a little afraid in her heart, but she didn't hesitate for a moment. It's been a wonderful few days like a blockbuster, except that there is no explosion.

Well, now there's even a blast. Sure enough, it's a five-star blockbuster, if only she wasn't the protagonist, well, it might be a cannon fodder female supporting role, no, it could also be a villain. Sounds terrible. It's obviously your own life, why is it arranged so miserably?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The Xuanwu Hall was on fire. Qingzhan was still panicked when she was called in, and she almost tripped over herself in a hurry. "Half of the Xuanwu Hall is about to be burned and collapsed. Your Majesty, where are you going? It's too dangerous outside, think twice!"

"Go to the Xuanwu Palace. Qingzhan, I need to take steps. "Ye Daiwan knew she had to go there. There's no safer place than in the limelight. It's better before the assassin comes, oh, maybe it's not an assassin, it's poisoning or something, I wish I hadn't read so many novels or TV series before.

"Your Majesty, you can't go out, it's too dangerous. Qingzhan wished she could stop her. It's too chaotic outside, and everyone knows that the empress herself doesn't have any power, not even a personal guard, and if there are assassins outside, who will protect her.

"No, Qingzhan, we all know that no place in this palace is completely safe. She took her sword from the shelf, took a deep breath, and walked out on her toes, like a pufferfish, trying to swell herself so that her enemies would be afraid. But everyone knows that pretending that they are not strong is precisely because they are too weak.

When Lu Shushen went out, she didn't even ask, but when Ye Daiwan went out, she obstructed it in every way, even if she was the master of this palace. "I'm going to the Xuanwu Palace. ”

"No, Your Majesty. The temple guard's face was colder than Jiang Ying's, no, he looked very disdainful. Ha, she knows, a Xu family. It's a pity that no matter how powerful and strong he is, he can't scare Ye Daiwan anymore. Because it wasn't the man with the knife in front of her who put the knife around her neck, but the Grim Reaper.

"Stand down!" Ye Daiwan shouted. Her legs were shaking, but hidden under the long hem of her skirt, no one would notice how much fear was hidden under this solemn expression. Or, they all noticed, but they wouldn't see it.

Ye Dai raised her chin slightly, trying her best to be arrogant and rude. "I'm the master here, and I can't let you give it your permission. ”

The words are as soft as a child, and they don't frighten anyone, but rather laugh. Of course, Xu Jingming couldn't be intimidated by such childish words, not only did he not take a step back, but he also replied to her in a mocking tone. "No, Your Majesty, of course you are the master of the palace, but this is the rule. You can't go. ”

Replace Your Majesty with a little girl, and replace you with a fool, maybe this sentence will make more sense.

Words are the most wonderful thing in the world, a weapon that only humans can use. Of course, Ye Daiwan knew that his strength was not enough to resist him, he was a wise and martial general, tall and mighty, and heroic. Her head alone was taller than her, her thighs thicker than her waist, and the shadow was enough to cover her face.

Was she scared? Of course she was. But she knew better that something more terrible was chasing her—death. Her bravery is more of a dying struggle. Nothing drives people more than death.

"What are the so-called rules? Whose rules are they! On which stone tablet did my ancestors engrave or write on which piece of paper? Or do you make this rule for the next empress of the Great Wei Kingdom!"

"No ......" Xu Jingming certainly can't accept this charge, this is a big crime of disrespect. A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead, and his tone was no longer so resolute. He still refused to back down, but he was not so contemptuously aggressive, but he still persisted. "Your Majesty, you can't go. ”

Under the pressure of the Empress Dowager, Ye Daiwan survived, is she still afraid of him? She knows that it is now. She took a step forward. "Stop your disrespectful words. If you know that the Xuanwu Hall dedicated to the ancestors is burning now, you should let me go there. The tablets of the ancestors are about to be burned, do you want me to stand here and watch? Stand down!"

She walked very slowly, step by step. She was so short that everyone present, even the maids, was taller than her, and yet the wall of people in front of her was divided like a river dividing. She wasn't pretty at all, but at the moment she was shining brighter than the stars above the Milky Way, so dazzling that people were reluctant to look away.

In the firelight, there was a crackling sound like firecrackers, and the tongue of fire was a bright orange, and the brilliant red stained half of the Xuanwu Hall into a terrible carbon black. There were still people in the temple, and she could hear the wailing. Despite being repeatedly stopped, Ye Daiwan still stood at the front, her tongue licking her face.
