Chapter 7 The Big Picture Has Been Decided 2
The moment he pushed Yuchen away, there seemed to be something shattering in his heart. Before the man could speak, he suddenly slapped his back hard, his eyes were startled, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yu Yan raised his head suddenly, but saw Chengying standing with a sword, his face as cold as frost and snow. He held the talisman on Yuchen's body in his hand, with a murderous aura, and his black clothes were windless. Seeing that he had already drawn his sword, there was a heavy killing intent in his eyes. In the midst of the electric light, the stone and the fire, Yuyan seemed to have blood flowing backwards all over his body, and shouted with all his strength, "Don't-!" Hearing the voice, Chengying put away the blade in time, but looked at Yuchen coldly and said, "How can you be worthy of holding the talisman." โ
His voice fell, and before the woman could speak, he had disappeared. Seeing that Chengying was not with the Son of Heaven at the moment, Yu Yan was so anxious that he couldn't take care of Yuchen, who couldn't bear the palm, and hurriedly took Shang Fang's sword and rushed out of the main hall.
She had never been so uneasy, and the fear enveloped her heart like a cold tide that sank to the bottom of the lake. The more Yu Yan forced herself not to think nonsense, the more her fear became. All kinds of bloody scenes replayed in her mind repeatedly, stirring her upset.
This long road has not been walked on her feet for a long time since she became a concubine. Although Su E carried a lamp beside her, the faint light was far from enough to illuminate the road under her feet. Yu Yan held the long sword in his arms, stepped into the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow, and staggered and walked, which was extremely difficult. The cold wind made the palace lights sway, and the dim light cast on the blue and white stone bricks, reflecting the layers of snow on the red walls and blue tiles. On the long deserted street, only the eerie night wind whistled against the vermilion wall, and it was cold and cold.
Yu Yan was startled by the sound of the wind, suddenly stopped, and said to Su E: "Listen, is there no sound of swords and guns." โ
After she said this, Su E hurriedly listened. After walking for a long time, it should not be far from the Taiyuan Palace, but there was no imaginary fierce battle here. The silence of the long street is chilling, so even the sound of the wind is so clear.
"Mother's ......"
Her words came to an abrupt end, and hurried footsteps rang out on the other side of the long street. In the vast night mist, a vague figure was hurrying towards the two of them. Yu Yan subconsciously took a step back and opened the scabbard slightly. The cold light of the blade illuminated her eyebrows for a momentโthose eyes were full of determination. She didn't know who it was, maybe it was King Zhuang Xian's subordinates who came to enter the inner palace. At this moment, she can't afford the slightest timidity, if the Taiyuan Palace falls, what she wants to do is to die here.
"Who's coming?" Hearing Su E's scolding, the figure hesitated to stop a few feet away. There were still doubts in the voice of the answer, but there was a vague sense of clarity: "But Jing'an Palace Jing Guifei? โ
It's a voice you've never heard before.
Yu Yan's long sword came out, and her palms were already covered with delicate beads of sweat. However, even so, she still refused to lose her integrity, and only said in a loud voice: "It's this palace, who are you." โ
"Back to Niangniang, the slave is the descendant of the Taiyuan Palace, and the emperor is safe and sound!" The figure suddenly knelt on top of the stone bricks. Xu was excited, and there was a slight tremor in his voice. "The emperor is still ahead, and a special servant came to inform. Niangniang, King Zhuang Xian died in Taiyuan Palace, it was the emperor who won! As if to prove that what he said was true, several grand fireworks suddenly burst into the sky of the Taiyuan Palace, which was the winning signal set by Yu Hao and her.
Yu Yan raised her head, and her cold and pale face was also brightened by the brilliance. She stood still, just long, long sigh of relief. That breath exhaled all her timidity and fear, and she only felt that all these years of hard work had not been disappointed after all. The body seemed to be as light as a feather, and Yu Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly fell on top of the green bricks.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep, maybe a day, maybe longer. In her sleep, Yu Yan felt unprecedented peace, the warmth and light surrounded her, and she was reluctant to wake up. It wasn't until there was a familiar call in her ears, one more eager than the other, as if it was someone she cherished so much, that the sound could penetrate her tired body and reach her sleeping soul.
Mother. Mother.
"Xia'er!"
Yuyan suddenly opened his eyes, and Ziyang and Yongtai were lying side by side on the side of the bed, looking at him anxiously. Seeing her wake up, Ziyang rushed forward excitedly and cried with joy: "Mother, you are finally awake, Xia Er is so worried!" โ
"Let your mother take a break." Behind a pair of children, Yu Hao was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and only a long jade belt was tied around his waist, making him look more and more long and heroic. Although there was a little tiredness on his face, he could see the joy of flying. The people around him had already retreated with interest, and the surroundings were as quiet as that thrilling snowy night. However, in such stillness, there is no palpitation, but infinite peace. The man bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, and his smile seemed to be scattered in a misty halo. "Makes you suffer."
Yu Yan was gently held in his arms by him, and said softly: "The concubine is not bitter, the concubine knows that the emperor will be able to pacify the rebellious ministers and thieves." โ
The emperor patted her on the back soothingly, and his voice became softer: "King Zhuang Xian is ambushed, and the Jin family and Prince Jia are also imprisoned, and the chaotic ministers and thieves have been dealt with, and there is nothing that can threaten the court and society." Yuyan, if it weren't for you......"
"Prince Jia......" Yu Yan's body stiffened, and he hurriedly interrupted Yu Hao, "Prince Jia, how could he ......?"
"Yuchen obviously rushed to the imperial capital, but he did not send troops for a long time. He clearly wanted to watch the fire from the other side and sit back and enjoy the results. As if he didn't want to mention him at this time, Yu Hao couldn't help but feel a little chill on his face, "You were frightened, you had a high fever for two days and two nights, and now you are just getting better, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, I will deal with it." โ
The light in Yu Yan's eyes cooled inch by inch, and she was still a little weak when she had just recovered from a serious illness. However, there seemed to be a raging fire burning under her empty eyes, and the fire spread all the way to the bottom of her heart. Yu Hao must have known that the inextricable connection between him and Emperor Jin must have been noticed by him. Dealing with mutinous people, Yu Hao will never be merciful.
Seeing that she was still a little distracted, the emperor sat for a while and then stopped disturbing her rest.
Yu Yan couldn't hear the voices of others at this time, and the darkness in front of her was like a sudden night. She looked into the distance in confusion, but what she saw was chaotic. After a while, she sat up on the carved red makeup table by the window, and gradually adjusted to the warm orange light of the sunset outside the window. When Su E entered the house and saw her like this, she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly put on clothes for her.
