When Concubine De heard this, she seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She opened her mouth, but finally just looked at the man in front of her with pity, as if she wanted to see through his cold and ruthless soul. She entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and has been thirty-two years old since then, and the most glorious sixteen years have been buried in the cage of this gray tile and red wall, and her every step is like walking on thin ice, and she is terrified. However, in the end, the person she tried so hard to please was so unkind, and with an ambiguous correction, he ruined the comfort of the rest of his life without any worries.

Degui turned her head suddenly, Yu Yan was immersed in the warm light of the faint golden autumn sun, and her expression was also gloomy. She seems to be able to be so calm and calm anytime, so elegant and indifferent. Concubine Degui suddenly understood, it turned out that everyone in this palace was someone else.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, and there seemed to be a little sadness in her laughter. The woman kowtowed heavily in thanksgiving, and when she was about to get up, she heard Concubine Jing's lazy voice sprinkled in the quiet hall: "Concubine Degui may be at fault, but if you agree, you may not be a fuel-efficient lamp." There can't be suspicious people around the emperor, and you shouldn't stay in the Weiming Palace. ”

The palace is not accommodated, and the implication is only the cold palace or the Huanyi Bureau. When Yu Hao heard this, he didn't seem to care about what the woman would do, and only blindly appeased the noble people to recuperate. The sun outside the hall was bright at this time, but it was a pity that the beam of light coming in from the head window was mottled and broken, as if it could not disperse the haze in the hall. After a long day, everyone was a little tired, but no one dared to open their mouths to break the strange silence.

Yu Yan held the fine white celadon teacup in her hand and slowly turned, the lines of the danqing were like flowers and vines climbing all the way in her hands, and the smile on her lips was faint, as if she was waiting for the first person to speak.

"The concubine retired." Emperor Jin got up and left without waiting for the emperor to speak. The palace dress she was wearing was embroidered with the auspicious pattern of vine rose, but the dense silver lines were too delicate on the leaves outlined by purple agate, and the sunlight poured on the flowers and leaves, and the light pierced people from looking up. When Yu Yan arrived at this time, she noticed that she had come alone. Yes, such a tall and arrogant woman, except for those who trust, how can she be allowed to approach herself lightly. lost Ziqing, she is just such a thin person.

Yuyan was on the way back to the palace when she saw several grandmothers chasing Princess Rujing running towards her. The girl ran in front, completely ignoring the shouts of the palace people, and when she saw Yu Yan, she rushed forward recklessly, crying: "Concubine Jing, they said that my mother was locked up, and Rujing will never see her again, is this true?" ”

Her little pale face was suffocated from running, although she was the same age as Ziyang, but the girl's height seemed to be taller. Yu Yan saw that there were a lot of stains on her pink and white dress, so she leaned down and gently wiped her with a silk. "Your mother is just sick, and the emperor said that she would take care of her in the palace temporarily. When she is well, it is good for Concubine Jing to take you to see her. ”

Rujing was still skeptical, and asked in a childish voice: "Really, Rujing will never see her mother again." ”

"How could it be. As long as you are obedient, your mother's illness will get better faster. Yu Yan persuaded softly, slowly straightened her waist, and a pair of phoenix eyes glanced at the servants beside the princess, intentionally or unintentionally, "If anyone talks nonsense in front of the princess again, the palace will order someone to pull out her tongue and understand." ”

Her voice was cold and low, and the grandmothers were so frightened that they shouted again and again, "Slaves don't dare." Although Ru Jing gave up, she still didn't seem to be completely at ease, and she frequently turned back to look at Yuyan when she left. Su E saw that she was so worried at a young age, and couldn't help sighing: "I knew this was the case, why did the noble concubine design to lose herself." ”

Yu Yan fiddled with the red beads on the gilt enamel hot porcelain nails for a while, and smiled quietly: "How could she have the courage to offend Imperial Concubine Jin, it is better to say that Imperial Concubine Jin wanted to weaken the power of the palace, and designed this play." ”

"It's just that Niangniang also failed her wish, and took this opportunity to break Ziqing's line." Su E looked at the woman gloomily, "Although it is far-fetched, the emperor didn't say anything, in the end, there is no affection." ”

A faint cold light flashed in Yu Yan's dark eyes: "How could the emperor refuse, he just wanted Ziqing to leave Emperor Jin to let her sleep, and now the palace is just helping him do it more thoroughly." She didn't walk fast, and her eyes looked at the rolling halls in the distance, as if there was infinite emotion in her eyes, "Imperial Concubine Jin has no kung fu, and now she is trapped in the harem, even if she dominates the situation in the past, there is nothing to be done after all." ”

Su E sighed lightly, and his eyes rippled, like a night as deep as the sea. "Winter is coming soon, and I hope this year can be spent safely."

That sentence became a prophecy, and since then, the previous dynasty has become more and more unstable.

At the end of every year, it is the time when the forces of all parties are ready to move, and the most intuitive thing is that in the past few months, the number of times Yu Hao has entered and exited the harem is almost a handful. Although the concubines of the palace are looking through the autumn water, there are also a few lucky people among them, Jing Chang is happy to have a noble son after only one sleep, and the next day he was named Rong Ji, glorious six palaces.

Hearing this news, Yu Yan knelt in the ancestral hall all night, praying that the Great Wei Guoyun could take this as a turning point. Recently, she has always been inexplicably panicked, perhaps faintly aware of something from Chengying's regular reports, such an ominous premonition makes her heart palpitate.

One night after the winter, Yu Yan was watching Ziyang practice writing in the hall. The courtyard was covered with thick snow, and the moonlight was dimly cast on the green brick floor, reflecting the thin and messy shadows of the trees. The stove in the house crackled, and the stumbling movement made the deep palace detached, lonely and lonely. Yu Yan was wearing a dark green round neck Haifu double shoulders, with a milky white robe, as light as a touch of moon shadow. She pointed out to Ziyang from time to time, and the hall was quiet and quiet.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, rapid and powerful. It was not early in the hour, and it was snowing again, and the people in the courtyard had already returned to their respective houses, and only Su E was in the room. Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the room was a little surprised. As soon as Su E took the bolt of the door, Yu Hao, who was covered in snow, suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He only brought Dong Bi alone, and under the dark python robe, he was only an ivory-colored ordinary robe.

Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward excitedly and cheered, "Father! ”

Yu Hao was afraid of giving her a cold air, so he only bent down and stroked her soft forehead, but his eyes fell directly on Yu Yan: "Xia'er, my father and your mother have a few words to say. ”

Yu Yan knew that he must have something important, so he would come so abruptly. At the moment, only Su E coaxed the princess out, and only she and the Son of Heaven were left in the house. Unlike before, she was keenly aware of the anger between the man's eyebrows and eyes, and the cold air brought in from the outside was too cold, and she couldn't help but clench the hand stove.

The Emperor watched her silent, her pupils darkened. At that time, there was only one lamp in the hall, which was not taller and brighter than usual, and the dark and narrow space made people breathless. Yu Yan was just about to speak, but the candle flame on the gilded flower candlestick was brought to the wind and was about to be extinguished at any time. Just as she stretched out her hand to protect the candle, she suddenly heard the man say in a deep voice: "Everything about Ah Jin, Chengying has told me about it." ”

The hands suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the white streamer on the cat's eye jasper armor rippled, causing Yu Yan to raise his head in a hurry. Yu Hao's expression was the same as always, but there was some gloom between his eyebrows. "I ordered him to investigate, but I didn't want him to collect so much evidence in such a short period of time. Jin Anyan said that she was the same as King Zhuang Xian. ”

From the emperor's tone, Yu Yan saw that Chengying didn't seem to mention himself, and he was somewhat relieved. She calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the top priority is to prevent the worst things from happening." ”

"It's late." The Emperor's sigh was deep and low, like the cold wind outside the curtain, indifferently piercing the snowy night, "When I knew what they were doing, I must have expected it. In the past month, King Zhuang Xian has transferred heavy troops to the imperial capital, and now he has blocked all major roads, and he will act soon. ”

"Action?!" Like a basin of cold water poured on her head, the cold hairs on Yuyan's back ridge stood up, she froze in place and couldn't move, but her voice revealed a hint of disbelief, "Could it be that they want to force the palace." ”

"Although the military power held by King Zhuang Xian has been divided by me, he can still resist me for a while. As long as you find some high-sounding reasons, it is not difficult to rebel. Yu Hao smiled self-deprecatingly, his face suddenly a little sad, "What's more, Ah Jin still has half a talisman left in his hand." ”

Yu Yan's expression was cold and cold, but he forced himself to calm down and said: "It seems that this battle is inevitable, dare to ask the emperor what chance of victory." ”

"I don't know." As soon as the sentence came out, he suddenly clenched Yuyan's hands, "So I want you to take the princes out of the palace and go to Fengguo Temple, the sooner you leave, the better." Yu Hao stared at her, with a hint of sorrow in his eyes, "If I am really victimized by traitors, at least I must keep my flesh and blood, as long as this bloodline is still there, the national vein of Great Wei will not be broken." ”

Under the inky black sky, the man's face was gloomy. The night breeze is faint, and the sound of falling snow can be heard in the silence all around. The cold stars in the sky are faint, and there is a faint sense of sadness, as if they also predicted the hardships and dangers of the Great Wei. Yu Yan slowly raised his head, his expression as cold as frost. "If the concubine doesn't leave, the concubine will stay by the emperor's side, and live and die together."

Yu Hao was just about to speak, but she had already stretched out her hand to block it, and there was a determination in her eyes: "The concubines will place the princes properly, but please ask the emperor to take it back no matter how it will be." You are the king of the world, but you are also Yuyan's husband. Although the concubines believe in evil and do not suppress the right, if they fail this time, the concubines will never survive. ”

She understands that if Yu Hao really loses the throne, she will not be able to escape. In this case, it is better to gamble on life and death to fight side by side with him. Even if she died, she would die earth-shatteringly.

Yu Hao's eyes were cold, and he slowly revealed a little moved. "It is the blessing of my life to have you. If I can be safe this time, you will be my irreplaceable queen. ”

There was only a soft light in Yuyan's eyes, and in the cold night, she was next to the man. At this moment, she no longer knew that she was doing this, and she was a little sincere. Maybe it's just for the hard-won stability over the years, or maybe it's so that the children don't have to be displaced and flee everywhere. The intricate feelings tightly bound her heart, making her unable to think. However, only one thing Yuyan can be sure of - she and Yuhao must share honor and disgrace. Because of this, this battle is Yuhao's and his own. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, there is no failure to fail.

She stepped past the man's broad arms and stared out into the sky. The moonlight blurred the original shadow in her eyes, and her eyes were only pitch black. Yu Yan suddenly hugged the man with all her might, and two lines of clear tears flowed down.
