Chapter 2: The Firelight

The quiet night is deeper, and the sound of Nangong is long. Outside the Jiaofang Hall www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, the guards and soldiers all showed tired faces. The three-day period is approaching, and after the abolition, the Yang family is still closed in the palace, and the tea and rice are not eaten. If nothing goes wrong, she will be escorted to the execution ground tomorrow at noon.

The moonlight entered the house, reflecting the golden furnace and jade pillow that had long been discarded, Yang Xinyue sat in front of the dresser, looking at the bright teeth and bright eyes in the mirror, and she was distracted. That face is still vaguely the appearance of the top Beijing back then, even if she has a son, it just adds a bit of charm to her eyebrows.

She was half-dressed, and she curled her favorite double flat mustache when she was in the boudoir in the past, and the green and silver yarn was loosely placed on her shoulders, and her bare skin was smooth and flawless.

"If you decide to marry him, the glory and loss of the Yang family will be entrusted to you from now on."

Back then, she knelt in front of her father Yang Ye's study for three days and three nights, and he was willing to see her.

"Gao Yang is not a thing in the pool, and in the future, being a father may not be able to shelter you anymore."

At that time, she had already languished after three days and three nights of rice, but she couldn't help but rejoice and leaned over to thank her father.

Since the date of her and Lu, Zhongzhou seven places came to propose relatives in an endless stream, who does not know, Changzhou Yang family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, guarding the border passes, military achievements, and the young daughter Xinyue is a dog girl, and she is moving in all directions.

If you marry a wife, you will win the marquis.

But on the contrary, she just likes Gao Yang, a partial general with a mere five grades. When she was besieged by the barbarians in Hengyang City and isolated, it was he who disobeyed the military order and came to relieve the siege with strange soldiers.

"Believe me, county lord, just believe me."

Under the city of Hengyang, he was wearing bloody armor and said loudly. Under heavy siege of the city, she was cut off from water and food, and defended the city for 21 days, but at that moment someone broke through her heart.

Xin Yue's fingers slowly stroked the few scars on her waist, which were the memorials left by years of fighting on the battlefield.

After marrying Gao Yang, they made peace and envied others, but after a while, the eldest son Gao Zhen was born. While she was teaching her husband and children at home, she was strategizing and planning war for her father and brother. Later, Emperor Xiao of the previous dynasty died of a violent illness, and Deng Sheng, the protector of the country, proclaimed himself regent, and held the young lord hostage to order the Quartet, and the world was in turmoil for a while.

"Xinyue, I want to take down this splendid river and mountain to repay you for your kindness back then."

Everyone in the world knew that Deng Sheng's name was not right, and Gao Yang also rose up indignantly, and Xin Yue raised Changzhou troops to help. After five years of conquest, with the support of the Yang family, Gao's reputation grew, and she fought in all directions, encountering many dangers, but she survived one by one. These wounds will fade with the passage of time.

Only the wound in the heart has been difficult to heal. Xin Yue's eyebrows furrowed, and a bit of bitterness spread in her heart.

The battlefield is ruthless, and husbands and wives get together less and leave more, and when she finally joined forces with Gao Yang in Yongzhou and was about to break through the capital, she found that there was an extra smiling person next to her husband.

Fang's Yuezhi, the youngest daughter of Fang Yue, Marquis of Pingyuan, Liangzhou. No matter how Gao Yang explained that he was thinking about the overall situation and marrying a woman to get Liangzhou, Xin Yue was still heartbroken. She would rather lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Liangzhou by herself than serve a husband with others. But she is also a person who knows the Great Unification, and since the Fang Clan has already started, she will treat her well.

Also named Moon, Yang Xinyue is the moon falling on the long river on the border outside the Saiwai, and Fang Yuezhi is the willow tops on the moon in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Yuezhi can't dance swords and swords, but she knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is well-behaved and clever, and she has composed "Entering the Formation" to praise Gao's merits, which is widely sung in the army. After Xin Yue got along with her for a long time, she actually fell in love. Later, Gao Yang was proclaimed emperor, and Xin Yue was the queen, and Yuezhi was renamed Guizhi to avoid secrecy, and the two were still harmonious. Gao Yang is not an abusive person, and there are no three thousand beauties in the harem, and Xin Yue and Gui Zhi are often accompanied by each other in their spare time, and they are like sisters.

Xin Yue got up gloomily, came to the window, and silently looked at the Zhaoyang Hall in the distance. Gao Yang must have stayed there tonight, the hall was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light stung her eyes.

What she didn't expect was that all the warmth was to soften her sugarcoating, to make her willingly pay for the poison. Gao Yang suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden for two years, she assisted the prince, listened to the government, and entrusted the affairs of serving in front of the bed to Gui Zhi.

After recovering from the disease, Gao Zheng's feelings changed dramatically, and he became sensitive and suspicious. The Beizhou Five Nations Alliance Army committed the border, and his brother Yang Yuxuan led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the north to meet the attack, and fought fiercely with the coalition army in Mobei, and captured more than 70,000 people, so that there was no strength to raise troops in Beizhou for more than ten years, and the Yang family army was famous. But Gao Yang's attitude towards these good news is uncertain, and it is difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. After Xin Yue, she realized it later, and only then did she realize that the seeds of jealousy of the Yang family's high achievements had been planted at that time.

The night dew was heavy, and the cold air above the high hall hit people, Xin Yue faintly felt that there was something strange about her injured right leg, and when she looked down, black blood had oozed from the wound. She smiled coldly. When she finally understood the Fang Clan's resentment towards the Yang Clan, the trap she had set had already been closed, trapping them firmly.

"Yang Xinyue, you finally have today."

On that day, Fang Min led his troops to arrest her, and she had no choice but to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army to protect herself and defend the Jiaofang Palace, but when she saw Gui Zhi passing by calmly, she couldn't hide the malice in her eyes when she looked at her.

"Brother, I have no sisterhood with her, everything is at your command."

Fang Min gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired. No matter how strong Xin Yue's martial arts are, he will not be able to escape injury. If it weren't for Lang Zhong Ling Xiao Ran to arrive in time to relieve the siege, she would definitely not be able to support it until now.

Fortunately, she still survived, smart and smart as Xin Yue, and she had already prepared to die and break the net, but she had to keep a little blood in her family no matter what. After her brother was killed, she sent her personal maid Lin Wan to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhonglie and rescued Yang Yuxuan's only daughter; And before the Wu Gu Palace changed, she sent the prince out of the capital under the pretext of avoiding misfortune.

Tonight is Xin Yue's last night on this earth. She looked up at the moonlight, waiting for a signal from outside the palace.

After a while, someone suddenly set off fireworks by the palace wall, which pierced the night sky one by one, emitting a beautiful and dazzling brilliance. The guards outside the temple gate talked a lot and were ordered to go and check, and only one or two sleepy people were left on duty.

This is the time that Xin Yue was waiting for.

She smiled and turned back to the hall. One candlestick fell with her steps, and the flames engulfed the silk and carpet before spreading.

"Xin Yue is incompetent, and she is ashamed of the Yang family. May the sky have eyes, and the descendants of the Yang family can be ashamed and restore the lintel. ”

She knelt in the middle of the temple facing north, unmoving, until the smoke swallowed her completely.

The fire did not stop for three days, and the Jiaofang Hall was reduced to ashes overnight.

When Gao Yang heard the news, he stopped the early court, sat alone facing the north, and did not say anything.
