Chapter 301: Empress Zhao
Chu Xianzhao lowered his head slightly, watching her hair slide down his fingertips: "Chai Longxiang is dead, and now many Yan Fu nobles have fled to Qingguo, but the mark of Yan Yan on their bodies will not be diluted, maybe one day they will take revenge on us, just like Su Changqing."
Hua Youyue looked at him without saying anything, and Chu Xianzhao smiled: "I know what you're thinking." ”
"Then you can say it. Hua Youyue hugged her calves and rested her chin on her knees.
"She is not Su Changqing, just a homeless little girl, as long as the firewood and scales are in our hands, the Yanfu people will not dare to mess around, which can be regarded as my selfishness, I killed her mother, and let her continue to live here can more or less make up for my guilt towards her. ”
"You have been bitten by a snake, you may think it doesn't matter, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think so, you are a princess who is secretly hiding the dead country, you know your responsibility, but you don't like you to let her go, this girl can only stay in the city of rest for the rest of her life, and ...... for the rest of her life"
"A lifetime ......" Chu Xianzhao muttered, almost for a moment, Hua Youyue looked at Chu Xianzhao's eyes with tears flashing, but in the end, the light of the tears dimmed, and Hua Youyue saw such a weak and weak Chu Xianzhao for the first time, and her purple pupils gradually dimmed.
Chu Xianzhao was silent, like the girl with a jade pendant tied to her hair, sitting in front of him at this time, the two looked at each other.
Hua Youyue got dressed, folded a clean robe in front of Chu Xianzhao, and said lazily: "I'll go and ask someone to bring you some food to eat, maybe the Empress of Shuyue, King Huailing, and those people from Jingnan City will be here soon, you are ready." ”
Hua Youyue pushed open the door and left, humming a little song of Yan Yu that she heard from nowhere.
......
......
Qingguo, Sunset City.
On top of the high cliff near the sea sits the Red Palace, which is one of the tallest buildings in Gyeongguk, and is called Hongtan Palace near the sea.
The Red Sandalwood Palace is made of light red stone, with heavy walls surrounding the castle, thick stone balustrades, some four feet high, protecting the edges of the walls, and several meeting halls for entertainment, and doors made of oak wrapped in black iron. When the weather cools, the floor is carpeted and the skull of a giant dragon hangs on the wall as a decoration.
Tonight the sea is extraordinarily calm, this palace is the emperor of a certain generation of Qingguo when he came to this land, just look at this abrupt high cliff, like a pitch-black fist stretched out to the sky, the emperor likes the supreme majesty of this bell, and found that these are surrounded by the sea on all sides, sitting on the mountain and watching the sea and standing in the wind is very comfortable, so he built a palace, let it sit at the top of the fist, quite an imperial atmosphere.
In order to withstand the invasion of the palace by the waves, the Red Sandalwood Palace is surrounded by a thick outer wall, which consists of two layers of rock and a sandwich of sand and gravel.
The walls are smooth and curved, and the stones are so compact that not even a trace of wind can get out
The walls are covered with spells written by mystical magicians, and if you want to reach the Red Sandalwood Palace, the waterfront side of the Red Sandalwood Fort is built on a cliff overlooking the sea, and there is a fence gate that allows people to reach the bottom of the Red Sandalwood Palace from the waterway.
But the people of the Zhao royal family never need to take a boat when they come to Hongtan Palace.
Now this palace has become someone's private villa, every day when the sun sets, the owner of the palace stands on the city wall, looking at the turbulent sea, the flying dragon lazily lies beside the master, every dragon scale on the body reflects the afterglow, the woman wears a crimson palace robe and stands in the wind, fearless as standing against the sky, this is her palace, her everything.
The sturdy female officer carried a red dove into the evening wind pond, this is the largest pool in the palace, once in the middle of summer, the water surface is full of all kinds of lotus flowers, competing for beauty, the sound of frogs chirping in the pond is bustling and lively, and at this time it is nearly October and autumn, the fragrant and elegant lotus has long withered, and the withered branches hang obliquely on the water surface, let the bright moon shine, scatter the water of the pond.
"Your Royal Highness Princess!" the female officer looked at the sparkling water, her brows furrowed, and in the gazebo in the middle of the water, sat a woman.
"It's really good that you haven't slept so late, let Xiao Ran and the others get me some food, is there egg fried rice, I want to eat it." The woman in red in the pavilion put down the book in her hand, and her smile was full of style, and the clover pendant in her ear made a delicate sound with the wind.
"I'll send it to you in a moment, by the way, we just received a secret letter from Shuyue. The female officer knelt down to her, lifted the bamboo tube hidden in her sleeve, and the woman in red gently stretched out her hand, and the bamboo tube in the female officer's hand came out uncontrollably and fell into the man's hand.
Resist the air.
The woman took out the creed in the bamboo tube and read it slowly, she has always been slow to do things, she is good at reading books, her plain white calves are soaked in the pool water and slowly kicking the river water in the pool, and her pink toes are slowly stretched, this woman in red is very beautiful, and the light red palace clothes on her body are quite close and transparent, outlining the woman's graceful and slender figure.
There was no feminine word on her body, it was a description that did not match her status, she sat in the gazebo frowning and reading the letters in her hand, her black hair hanging down to her waist, and the majesty of her body made her majestic.
She sometimes smiled, sometimes slightly angry, sometimes frowned, sometimes sentimental, and there were too many expressions on her face that were not suitable for her age, so that the subordinates who served her were very cautious, she treated people casually with a girlish laziness, and every word she could say carried the majesty of the royal family, she was the group of people at the top of the power of Qingguo, and she had to tremble when she sneezed this dynasty worthy of the name.
She slowly stretched her feet out of the pool, and new ripples appeared on the surface of the water, just like her emotions.
"The whole territory of Yanfu has fallen, Chai Longxiang is dead, and Yinguo has won...... It was a surprise to me. The woman muttered.
"How many troops does the royal family have now?
The woman asked.
"Tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, now we have 150,000 cavalry soldiers in the city of Sunset, and now Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, in order to show respect for those loyal nobles, Your Majesty specially used the money from the royal treasury to raise a dragon Yao cavalry with the children of the family as soldiers, and at the same time cut a part of the formal army, these children of the family have no combat ability, just by virtue of the military status to show off their might, if it is against the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, a wave of charges will be annihilated. The female officer's voice did not have any emotional fluctuations, the woman stretched her waist and smiled: "It's okay, anyway, our Zhao family didn't make a fortune by relying on the land army, those soldiers will be transferred by Your Majesty, but the dragon warrior army must act under my supervision, this is my bottom line!"
"Now Tantai Ninghua is asking for our help, saying that he wants to use the strength of the dragon protector's army to strangle the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, and now Yan Fu and the army he sent have failed to stop the attack of the Yinguo people, and then the spearhead will inevitably be pointed at Tantai Ninghua, but I don't know when I will step over. The woman groaned.
"With all due respect, Her Royal Highness the Princess, we can persuade Your Majesty to use the royal army to eliminate the threat to us from the Yinguo people in one fell swoop, and now that the Yinguo has just ended the war with Yan Fu, although it is scarred, if our dragoons pounce on their battlefield, perhaps their cavalry will be torn apart by us immediately. The female officer said respectfully.
"Who's who?" The red-clothed man said, "What is the name of the man who captured the city of rest?"
"Chu Xuanzhao, His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Great Yin Dynasty, the slave maid specially went to check his identity, he is only seventeen years old this year, a very young person. ”
"Chu Xianzhao, a very new name, but for a conqueror, seventeen years old is still a little too young. Empress Zhao said lightly.
"It's a little smaller, but it's the kind of kid who captured the city of Sabbath, and his strength is beyond doubt. The female officer admitted.
"Chu instantly summoned ......" Empress Zhao muttered the name, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of her mouth.
"What about Chai Lu Mu, has it become this child's plaything?" asked Empress Zhao with a wink.
"The empress and the emperor are both dead, and it is said that the empress fought with Chu Xuanzhao on the day of the break, which caused a vision of heaven and earth! ”
"Are these two people doing the opposite? Maybe Chai Lumu should be the emperor, and Chai Long should be the queen!" The woman laughed heartily, and the charm between her eyebrows and eyes was infinite.
"It's okay if the queen is dead, if she dies, I will be the first on the list of beauties in the world, and I have to thank this Chu Xianzhao. She leaned on the railing and looked out to sea.
