Chapter 9 The big picture has been decided 4
"Why don't you want to help you?" There were some thin tears in his eyes, but when Yu Yan raised his head, his face was as calm as frost and snow under the eaves, "Since that night, the palace has also been persuading the emperor, but the emperor is indifferent." Now I can only hope that the prince, as the emperor's sibling, can ......"
"In this case, the mother herself will not believe it." Ji Huan suddenly interrupted, her expression was already as cold as a faint light on the glazed tiles, "The emperor is ruthless, Niang Niang knows best, how can you prevaricate me for this reason!" She got up suddenly, and there was already a look of resentment on her face, "I'm so stupid, I forgot that you are the high-ranking Concubine Jing, you still have a great future, how can you put yourself in danger for a sinner!" ”
Su E was about to speak, but was stopped by Yu Yan's look. The two of them were frozen in the hall like this, and in the silence, they only heard the sound of the wind and snow in the middle of the night, and they felt extremely stunned for a while.
"What you're saying is that this palace is indeed selfish. You haven't suffered what this palace has suffered, and this palace doesn't complain that you don't understand. Yu Yan slowly lowered her eyelids, her faint eyebrows like a silhouette in the water, "The palace will naturally do what it should do, believe it or not, it's up to you." ”
After speaking, Yu Yan was already tired. Su E saw the opportunity, stepped forward to stop the woman's figure and said, "The sky has passed, and it is useless for the princess to stay longer, and the slave and maid will ask someone to prepare the carriage." ”
Ji Huan pursed her lower lip tightly, but finally chose to leave Jing'an Palace in silence. After she left, the room was silent again, and Yu Yan sat under the window, silently watching the night as deep as the sea. It has just come out of the year, and the moonlight is still hidden by layers of floating clouds, even if a few rays of light occasionally shine, it is not very cold. She suddenly felt that maybe she was really ruthless and unjust. In the past, even at the risk of her life, she would have admonished her to the end. But now, she is full of worries and can't let go of a qiē to exonerate him.
She remembered that when she was serving in the imperial study, she had asked the emperor what he wanted to do with the first few people. Even after a few days, Yu Hao's eyebrows still frowned when she mentioned this matter, and her tone was also wistful: "I want to sink and say, maybe after a long time, she will want to take the initiative to explain to me." ”
Yu Yan naturally knew who the person in his mouth was, so he unconsciously put down the scroll in his hand and concentrated on him. "Then what if her explanation makes the emperor feel excusable."
"Are you worried that I'll miss my old feelings?" Yu Hao's gaze at her was unusually calm, "It's come to this time, how can I keep her." Indeed, although there was a gloomy look on the man's face that could not be concealed, he no longer had many unbearable feelings before. Yu Yan knew that this trace of childlike affection was not enough to suppress the obvious killing intent in his heart, and for him, Emperor Jin was already a person who committed rebellion, and her crime was unforgivable.
"Then Prince Jia, what does the emperor plan to do?" Yu Yan lowered his eyes, trying not to show too much wavering, "He is a brother that the emperor has always been proud of, if you kill him, I am afraid it will damage the emperor's ......"
"Yuyan." Yu Hao suddenly spoke, his gaze was deep and distant, and when he swept away his eyes, Yu Yan still couldn't help but feel a little frightened. "What would you do if it were you?"
For the sudden rhetorical question, she was defenseless and almost messed up - the emperor's words were clearly meaningful. However, when Yuyan looked up, the man was just standing by the window, his face was calm and peaceful. She couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking for a while, so she had to lower her eyes lightly and said, "The concubines don't know." ”
"Then I change the question, to protect the saint and die in a heroic battle, or to become a waste and be imprisoned for a lifetime, if you think it is Yuchen, which one will he choose?"
At that moment, his heart beat extremely fiercely, and Yu Yan only felt that his whole body had lost his strength. She silently held the vermilion royal case with a dark pear pattern with both hands, but these two ruthless options only echoed in her mind. The hall is obviously transparent and bright, the palace lamp is like gold, shining on the wide imperial case, and the mahogany also flies into the color of red gold. The beast stove beside her burned an incomparably precious ambergris incense, which I heard could soothe the nerves. However, at this moment, she had to desperately support the edge of the table to keep her upright upper body from trembling. She turned her head slightly, not daring to show a trace of trepidation in front of the Son of Heaven. "In fact, it is not yet known whether the prince is disobedient, and the emperor still needs to be cautious to convince the public......"
But when he heard the emperor's hearty laughter, he seemed to have deliberately approached the woman. "You're right, I've already sent someone to investigate. It's just Yuyan, next month is the canonization ceremony, you don't need to bother with these things. ”
Yu Yan's eyes were tightly closed, and she forcibly held back the tears surging in her eyes. She slowly turned around and put on a peaceful and beautiful smile: "The emperor must have a holy judgment, it is the thoughts of the concubines and women, and the mediocre people disturb themselves." ”
When the emperor saw her like this, his eyes softened a little. He stretched out his hand to caress the woman's hanging green silk, and his tone couldn't be more kind. "I was fortunate to have you that night, and it was you who were by my side all these years, so that I was able to be so unscrupulous. But from now on, you don't need to worry too much, just leave it to me. ”
There was a hint of coldness on the fingertips that touched his face, and Yu Yan raised his head in surprise, but the man in front of him had the anger of the court, all he had in his eyes was tenderness and warmth. In a trance, he remembered that when he was by his side just now, he often looked at him with such affectionate eyes, but Yu Yan keenly felt that there was something different in those eyes.
It was at that moment that Yu Yan decided to see Emperor Jin for the last time. Even though she was hindered, she always felt that the woman knew something. Yu Hao didn't want her to continue to get involved in this matter, so she could only avoid people's eyes and arrange to leave the palace, but although she had the heart to ask Chengying, he seemed to have evaporated for the past month. Presumably, the aftermath of King Zhuang Xian was also a waste of time, so Yuyan had to entrust someone else.
She still remembered the last prison of the Thirteen Kings, but when she actually arrived at the place where Princess Jin was imprisoned, she found that it was not as bad as she imagined. The woman's cell was in the deepest room, as if secluded, and the cries of the prisoners could not be heard, nor the cries of the jailers. The ground is covered with some dry firewood and grass, and it is not very damp and cold. The woman was wearing a plain gown, and when Yu Yan arrived, she was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.
The beam of light that came in through the high window vaguely hit her peaceful side face, and the delicate face had a bit of coldness. There was no trace of sadness on her face, and her eyebrows were as indifferent as usual, as if this was not a prison, but an ordinary sunny pavilion.
Xu heard everyone's footsteps, she spoke lightly, but never opened her eyes: "I have nothing to say to you, you can go back." ”
Yu Yanping retreated, quietly looking at the woman in front of her, her eyes were slightly cold. "Although you have nothing to say to this palace, this palace has something to ask you."
