The night came early as expected, but it was much quieter than expected.

The dark and dark sky like black jade seems to be under the end of the world described in the play. The dim crescent moon was lonely and hidden in the thick clouds, and even the stars lost their brilliance. The red plum trees in the courtyard have been suppressed by a wind and snow, and they are swaying all over the place. The color that should be extremely lively is revealed by the cold and snow. A pair of copper stoves are displayed in the square hall, and the light smoke slowly floats towards the woman through the floor-to-ceiling screen of the mahogany carved vine and pine.

Yu Yan took a wisp of breath and calmed down, and knelt in front of the Buddha shrine with a neat makeup. There were green rosin-scented barrage Buddhist beads rolling down in her hands, and there was a hint of chill in her slightly closed eyes. On the small table of red sandalwood plantain Fulu beside him, a cup of steaming bitter tea was poured, and the bitter smell dispersed in the air, dispelling the original sleepiness.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the hall, Su E was more cautious than usual, she stood beside the woman and hesitated for a while, before calling softly: "Niangniang." ”

"It's all ordered."

"Yes." Su E looked at the cold and golden Buddha statue, and his heart sank for no reason, "All the palaces are blocked, and no one is allowed to step out of the room tonight." ”

Yu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the white jade green stone hairpin on the crown of her gilded flat square hair faintly emitted a beam of cold light, "The concubines have all done as ordered?" ”

"Niangniang's words, even if they have doubts, they don't dare to disobey. It's just that just now Yan Chang said that she heard the sound of soldiers and halberds intersecting outside the hall, and she went to see the emperor instead of crying...... "Su E looked at the woman, and didn't dare to say more. Yu Yan was dressed in rose gold rainbow makeup satin fox cheeks, I don't know if it was because of the dim lights in the hall, her delicate face was like a layer of frost, which looked particularly ruthless.

Yu Yan knew in her heart that although Yan Chang couldn't hold back her temperament on weekdays, she was shocked, but her mother's family was inextricably linked with King Zhuang Xian's faction, and she must have noticed this matter, so she would be so panicked.

"Killed."

After a long time, Yu Yan spit out two cold words, and Su E was also stunned when he heard this. Yu Yan knew that his actions might be too ruthless, but tonight's forced palace must not let the panicked ladies in the harem reveal the slightest rumor.

In the uninhabited hall, she looked up again at the golden Buddha statue in front of her. When her second child died in the womb, she swore to herself that she would never believe in the gods again. The gods and Buddhas are admired by the world, but they have no power to distinguish between right and wrong, and traitors are rampant in the world, but good people often do not die well. Over the years, she has never burned a stick of incense, and she has relied on her own strength to turn danger into a disaster.

Today, however, is different.

Yu Yan's eyes were bottomless, and she quietly listened to the sound of the cold wind blowing the plum bamboo outside the window, as if her body had also become a cold bamboo swaying in the court. Right now, her state of mind is so bleak and helpless. She was afraid of Yu Hao's failure, and she was afraid that everything she was doing now would come to naught, but she had nowhere to get rid of such fear. Therefore, she had to pray that Yuhao was safe and that the nightmare would pass quickly—even though she knew that her blood-soaked hands were not qualified to prostrate at all.

In front of the Buddhist shrine, a three-foot-long Shang Fang sword is placed. This was put into her hands by Yu Hao personally when she came that day. If the kingdom falls, it will be martyred. If this time is safe, you can kill the evil in the world from now on. Death or power, only in the middle of this night.

When his thoughts were floating, he suddenly heard Xiaofuzi's hurried call. He pushed open the door and said breathlessly: "Niangniang, Imperial Concubine Jin has left the Nine Phoenix Palace!" Su Eben followed behind him, and the glimmer of light in his pupils suddenly dispersed when he heard the words: "Could it be that she really wants to summon the shadow man to help with the talisman!" ”

The wind outside the hall is clear, and the tea smoke in the cup is cold.

Yu Yanling stood up suddenly, and her gorgeous clothes were shining brightly. There was a look of danger in her eyes that she had never seen before, and when she concentrated slightly, she was full of murderous intent. "Su E, Fuben Palace will meet the imperial concubine who commands the shadow for a while."

She had just walked to the door, but the door suddenly opened with the wind, and Yu Yan didn't have time to stop, and almost bumped into the oncoming person. She hurriedly stood still, but the moment she looked up, it was like five thunderbolts, and she couldn't move an inch for a while—the person in front of her who was wearing a feather blue robe and wearing a monochrome jade belt was not the person who thought about it day and night!

Shan Yuchen was dressed like this, and Yuyan knew that he had infiltrated the harem. However, at this moment, as Prince Jia, who commanded an army of 100,000, he should not have appeared here.

"Zichen ......" There was a moment of panic in Yu Yan's eyes, but he quickly stabilized his feelings, "Shouldn't you lead the army to fight in front of the palace?" The hurried tone stopped abruptly, and the woman seemed to understand something suddenly, and her eyes were as sharp as arrows in an instant, "Could it be that you have rebelled!" ”

"I'm just here to take you away." Seeing her like this, Yuchen's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but he stretched out his hand to the woman firmly, "If you want to leave, you can only now." Yuyan, I promise that no matter what happens tonight, no one will ...... from now on."

What responded to him was a sudden slap in the face. Yu Yan's palm was extremely ruthless, and he almost used up his life's strength. The man's frozen pale face immediately showed traces of blood red, and he almost forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but only pestle in place.

"This palace is the emperor's concubine first, and then the Yuyan you said. However, no matter who this palace is, it will definitely not forgive you for being a traitor! She seemed to be so angry that her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. However, for some reason, a pair of angry eyes were filled with tears in vain. "How can you be worthy of the emperor's trust in doing this, and how can you be worthy of the side princess who loves you deeply!"

"I just want to be worthy of myself now! Luan'er, I've missed you so many times, I can't be wrong to the end. He brute force clasped the woman's wrist, the palm of his hand was extremely cold, "I didn't betray the imperial brother, my team is stationed around the imperial capital, as long as I take you out of the palace, they will immediately fight back against King Zhuang Xian's rebels." ”

He had never been so afraid. In Yu Yan's impression, he is as gentle as jade and as loose as a pine at all times. However, at this moment, Yuchen in front of him actually had a wolf bèi meaning. "I know you're not happy in the palace, so tonight is the last chance for yourself. Luan'er, I don't want anything, as long as you're around. The man's eyes were filled with tears, and he said forcefully, word by word, "Come with me." ”

How long had she waited for this sentence?

Seventeen years, she is no longer a young girl, and she is no longer as beautiful as she used to be. However, even if she became unrecognizable, she did not love the person in front of her for a moment. She had thought that if one day Zichen came to pick her up, then no matter how old her face was, she would still throw herself into his arms. But when the day came, she suddenly realized how fragile this idea was.

"I'm not leaving."
