85. Affection

Thinking that Qiu Yu and Ye Lin have been with Ye Lin for many years, her childhood sweetheart was not in vain, but she was familiar with the secret passages of the palace, and took Su Yao into a thatched cottage in the northern suburbs of the capital, then stopped, went around to the backyard of the cottage, and directly lifted the lid of a thatched cellar, and a secret passage to the depths of the underground was displayed in front of Su Yao.

Su Yao glanced down, but turned his head but was puzzled, if it was a secret path that even Qiu Yu knew, how could Empress Dowager Feng not know? This secret passage is narrow, if someone surrounds the front and back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape with wings, and the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth.

Su Yao had such concerns, Qiu Yu was a cheerful person, so he asked directly, Qiu Yu was really not angry, only concisely said: "This is the back road left by the first emperor to His Majesty, except for His Majesty, no one has ever known, although Niang Niang is relieved, from this tunnel all the way forward, the first fork in the road does not care, go to the second turn right, meet the steps and go up, stay on the top is the hookah Palace, Your Majesty Xià is waiting for Niangniang there."

Su Yao remembered them one by one in his heart, but when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did you say?"

"Shisha Palace." Qiu Yu seemed to understand what Su Yao was wondering about, and said, "It was because it had been abandoned for a long time that the first emperor used this as an exit."

Su Yao nodded, the hookah palace has always been a cold palace for concubines, only because the concubines who made mistakes in the first emperor have moved to the forbidden garden, and Ye Lin has no other concubines, this hookah palace is vacant, and there are many people in the palace at this time, this is a good place.

"Where are you going?" Su Yao saw that Qiu Yu didn't count himself in his words at all, but he was a little puzzled, Qiu Yu didn't hide it, and took the oil lamp and walked down first, while saying frankly: "After a while, Ah Yu walked from the first fork in the road, and there was a Qinzheng Hall on it, so naturally he wanted to get something for His Majesty."

The two of them walked forward in the dark tunnel while talking, and soon reached the first fork in the road, Qiu Yu pushed the oil lamp to Su Yao, and said: "If you hear the movement, blow out the light, and the wall of every section of the dark passage is hollow, you push it away and hide in it."

The atmosphere that was not very tense suddenly became tense after Qiu Yu said this, Su Yao nodded, said goodbye to Qiu Yu, and continued to go towards the deep tunnel alone.

I don't know how long it will take, I can only hear the occasional weaving cry in the invisible corner of the tunnel, Su Yao carried the lamp, tensed his nerves, and carefully watched the movement behind him. The tunnel was very long, Su Yao obediently turned around at the second fork, and after walking for a while, he saw the steps that Qiu Yu said, and climbed it step by step, and after half an hour, he came to the end, and a square lid appeared in front of Su Yao's eyes.

Su Yao changed the oil lamp in his hand to the other hand, raised his hand and knocked on the lid, the lid made a dull sound, but there was no response for a long time. It turned out that the lid was too thick, and the sound insulation effect was too good. Su Yao knocked a few more times but there was no response, this time he raised the oil lamp in his hand in front of his eyes, and looked for a mechanism along the tunnel wall.

The hard work paid off, and after groping for a while, he really asked Su Yao to find a raised thing, Su Yao reached out to twist it, and there was a creaking sound above his head, and the lid was slowly opened by himself.

Just wanted to blow out the lamp in his hand, Su Yao found that the light outside the lid was still very dim, Su Yao poked his head out of the exit, it turned out that he was still in a dark place.

Out of the way, he found a button from the dark grid to reclose the lid, and Su Yao carried the lamp to shine around, looking for the exit from the dark grid. This time, Su Yao was no longer lucky enough to find the button, holding his breath, but he could faintly hear a conversation coming.

Su Yao looked for the voice and walked towards the place, listening to it on the wall, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, he only heard the voice and said: "The minister has never seen His Majesty so out of shape." If it's a mother......

"Didn't Fang Cai already receive Qiu Yu's signal and have already found Ah Yao?" The faint voice couldn't hear any affection, but the voice was so kind, and the voice had been grinding with her ears and temples day and night, with an unimaginable lady's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and she said all the love words of the world. But the voice was so cold and ruthless at this time.

The man before was silent for a moment, and then said, "Minister...... Dare to argue, can you think that Majesty seems to take Niangniang too seriously? ”

He had never seen that person as out of control as tonight, Ye Lin and Feng Ce learned martial arts together, originally on par, when he was young and frivolous, he tried many times, and he won or lost, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, but tonight he was red-eyed, swords and swords are the most ruthless tricks, and he couldn't wait to cut Feng Ce with a thousand knives, Feng Ce was already a wolf when he was captured, if it wasn't for the Yulin Army to control the situation, I don't know what it would become.

If you talk about the reason, who can't see that the emperor's majesty suddenly turned red, it was because the queen mother was taken hostage. Fang Cai also planned to punish all the guards in the Xiguang Hall at that time, and he stopped Ye Lin from left to right. At this time, the queen mother was besieging the city, and the army's heart was undecided, so he actually wanted to punish the shadow guards who had made meritorious contributions, but the reason was that he failed to protect the queen's mother, and Ye Lin's move could be called irrational.

"Too heavy?" The man still looked careless, lowered his eyelashes and laughed softly, rubbed the jade-handled folding fan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yi Xing, she is more important than my life, how can I do it if I don't care about it?"

Hearing this sentence, Su Yao finally remembered that the previous person was the former prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace, and now the son of Cui Taifu, Cui Shu, Cui Yixing. The man said such things in the calmest voice in the world, she is more important than my life, how can she do it if she doesn't care about it?

Covering her mouth with one hand, Su Yao let her tears slide down silently, this is Ye Lin, her stupid man.

What Cui Shu said next, Su Yao couldn't hear it anymore, he only felt that the strength of his whole body was empty, and he slowly squatted down against the wall.

Ye Lin raised his eyes, took in the disbelief in Cui Shu's eyes, slightly picked the corners of his mouth, and said, "Yixing, you treat Bai Fansu like the same?"

The young man in white was stunned suddenly, but when he reacted, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Fan Su was also confused for a while, so he committed such a big crime...... Wangmaxi à ......"

"Forgive her?" Ye Lin smiled, but his voice was bone-chilling, his eyes moved away from his face, and he looked straight at the handle, and said, "First colluded with Feng Ce to provoke the relationship between me and Ah Yao, and then assassinated Ah Yao, do you think I can still let her go?"

Cui Shu closed his eyes.

Yes, Bai Fansu, who is the number one in the world, has lost an arm, and has no hope of being favored by Ye Lin, and has been imprisoned, but it is not enough, for Ye Lin, he will not hesitate to get rid of anyone who is not good for Su Yao.

Cui Shu understands too much. From the moment Ye Lin took the initiative to marry the emperor at the plum blossom banquet a year ago, he should have expected that this person would be a fatal weakness for Ye Lin.

"Then Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Fan Su?"

The man stood up, raised his hand and put the white jade folding fan he had been playing with on the desk, and wrote lightly: "She must die."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

His mind began to faint for a while, and his limbs gradually did not listen to his own call, Su Yao was alarmed in his heart, expecting that his drunken Hongchen was about to have a seizure, and he was still locked in this secluded and dark compartment, and he tried his best to knock on the wall behind him, but it had little effect, and no one paid attention to it at all. Breathing gradually began to be difficult, Su Yao's hand holding the lamp began to shake a little, and he glanced at a rope hanging in the air in the corner in a daze, and dragged it down without thinking about it, but he finally couldn't support it, and fainted in the dark compartment with a clanging sound.

When he woke up again, the man was already on the soft and warm bed, and the man was leaning on the extension of the wide bed, with a narrow side, and it seemed that he had just fallen asleep, and his lips were actually covered with a layer of green stubble, and his sideburns were slightly messy, and his robe was wrinkled. After opening his eyes and looking at the man for a while, Su Yao couldn't bear it, raised his hand to cover the man's haggard cheek, and rubbed it gently.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but looking at Ye Lin's appearance, she was afraid that she had not slept for a long time. At this moment, the room is so quiet, I think the rebellion of the Queen Mother has subsided. She's really useless, she can't help him in any way, and she always makes trouble for him.

Su Yao thought so, sighed softly, but he didn't expect such a slight sound to wake up the man, his dark eyes met her, and the worry and fear in his eyes suddenly turned into joy, and he turned over and sat up in an instant, tightly holding her hand that was messing up on his face in the palm of his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Yao, you are awake!"

This person...... How worried are you......

Su Yao nodded slowly, only to feel that the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he couldn't use any strength, and coughed a few times before he made a sound, abruptly like a cracked silk, "I...... A little hungry. ”

Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered Gong E, who was guarding outside the hall, to bring some food, turned around and poured a cup of tea from the case, and showed a gentle and heartbreaking smile, helped her to drink, and said, "After sleeping for a day and two nights, no wonder you want to cry hunger."

Two nights a day? Hearing this, Su Yao raised her eyes to look out the window, but the cascading curtains blocked her vision, she now recognized that she was in the Fengwu Palace, but she didn't know how dark it was now, why Ye Lin left a bunch of affairs and guarded her couch.

"Queen Mother......" drank a little water to moisten her throat, sure enough, it was much better, and her voice was no longer hoarse, Su Yao only cared about the siege now, and the person in front of him really couldn't see that he had any thoughts about the affairs of the court, and there was nothing else in his eyes except her.

"I have been moved to Siguo Palace and placed under house arrest, and the shadow guards will take turns to take care of it, so there will be no more trouble." Ye Lin slowly helped her up, leaned on the soft snow satin backrest, and said, "You don't have to worry."

"Where's Feng Ce?"

When it came to this person, Ye Lin didn't answer as happily, and paused for a moment and said, "He will definitely see you for the last time." Now that the prison is closed, it will not get in the way. ”

"I didn't expect you to settle this matter without much effort, but I dragged you back and made you worry in vain." Su Yao shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Ye Lin smiled slightly, sat down on the edge of the couch, and said, "If there was no help from Qiu Yu and Yulin Jun this time, it would not be so smooth." Speaking of this, as if remembering something, the man suddenly leaned over and hugged her in his arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Su Yao, if you dare to do anything to send Ah Jiu away from your side again, I will definitely not spare you!"

Su Yao was held in his arms, and he didn't have the strength, so he leaned softly on his chest, chuckled, and said, "Ye Lin, you threaten me?"

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked gently, "If I die that night, what will you do?"

Ye Lin buried his head in her neck socket and said in a low voice: "The world is plain, and the blood is drifting."

If he lost her again, he would go berserk.

The soft body in her arms stiffened, and she didn't relax for a long time, but her soft voice sounded in her ears: "I was taken captive that night, and the man in gray said that Feng Ce intended to make you choose among the beauties of the country." If Xu Shenyan doesn't find me, Ah Lin, if you really ask you to choose...... What would you choose? ”

A fluttering voice echoed in the Fengwu Palace, and Su Yao waited quietly for the silent king to give her an answer. There are many assumptions in love that should not be made, but Su Yao wants to know the answer too much at this time, she only has a year, she must think clearly about what to do in the future.

Half a day.

The young king said, "I will choose the country."

Hearing the unexpected answer, Su Yao was a little dumbfounded, and the complicated feelings surging in his heart were indescribable, although he was relieved, he was still a little lost in his heart. But the answer was much better than she had imagined, the Emperor...... It's not supposed to be too infatuated......

The man hadn't finished speaking, and the hoarse voice lingered in her ears, "If you choose a beauty, I'm nothing, how can I protect you for the rest of your life?" I don't believe that Feng Ce can let you go, and I will leave unscathed. ”

"If you choose the country, you will lose your life...... It's okay, when I have a hand in Feng Ce and entrust the country to Ah Ji, I will accompany you. ”

If there is no longer any trace of you in this world, and I can no longer find the slightest mark of you, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and I don't want to stay alone in this cold world, let me also leave this country, leave behind this boundless responsibility and suffering, and die with you.

The body in his arms was motionless, stiff as a piece of dead wood.

This man......

This man......

The sound of word by word sounded in her ears, and every word was seared on her heart.

The man said, "Ah Yao, in heaven and on earth, you can no longer leave me." If there is no you in this world, the peach and willow green, the night rain of the rivers and lakes, to me, are meaningless. ”
