Chapter 31: The Palace Forbidden Dark Cloud

"Since the princess is here to force me to abdicate the throne, why not put on the prestige of being the new king, so that I can believe that my own heir is also worthy of the great responsibility." Emperor Yuanyou tugged at the robe that had slipped to the crook of his arm, and looked away.

The night was like black jade, so dark that it was frightening, and every qiΔ“ around was quiet, and occasionally there would be one or two strange cat meows.

And the Changji Hall is incompatible with the fragrant fragrance of the room, at this time the yellow plum blossom has bloomed, the sweet plum fragrance flies down in the night sky full of moisture, the fragrance lingers, the breath is quiet, the plum branches that do not bend are reflected on the partition door, like a simple and beautiful ink painting.

However, the beauty of tonight is unappreciated.

"Erchen is deeply guilty." The lady fell to the ground and shed tears.

The pale inky shadows fluttered slightly, lining the lonely figure of the emperor who was beginning to look old. He is unable to do a lot of things, and he can no longer be as decisive and decisive as he was when he was young.

"Guilt should not belong to the emperor's mind. The emperor was faced with all the people of the Jin Kingdom, and it was taboo to be emotional, and he couldn't bear to give alms everywhere. Yuan Ying, it is difficult to sit in the Mirror Hall, and it is natural to stay in the most tormented position for a long time. ”

Emperor Yuan You slapped a few sides vigorously, vibrating so that the cups and cups jumped together, and the black-colored figure rushing forward was also so shocked that he took a few steps back.

When the room was quiet, the chamberlain swayed to the front of the hall, and the elongated figure was reflected in the light of the entrance.

Empress Xu walked out quickly, and the attendant whispered: "In the palace, the palace gate is reported, and the king of Changshan is shouting outside, if she is not allowed to face the saint, she will lead millions of people to set foot in Lin'an." ”

Empress Xu was stunned, quickly concealed her panicked look, and restored her usual dignified. You must go to your brother as much as possible to discuss a solution to this matter. She unhurriedly smoothed out the folds in her coat and glanced inside.

Mao Sheng supported Emperor Yuanyou to stand under the curtain.

"Don't want to move her!"

Even through the blurred gauze curtain, Empress Xu felt that it was a cold gaze, pressing towards her, like a sharp sword piercing her body, and the next moment it would chisel open her heart to find out. After more than 20 years of husband and wife, the emperor ordered her for the first time with such a cruel and warning look, and deterred her, not to force him to abdicate the throne, but only to be the king of Changshan.

"Let King Changshan come, I want to see her immediately." Probably using too much force, the person behind the curtain coughed violently, "Zhang Zhongshu has been ordered to mobilize the Beigong Mountain garrison with his military talismans. Sooner or later, the throne will be in the hands of Yuan Ying, and until I change my mind, you'd better be the queen of the past. ”

The flags on the upper floor of the gate were hunting, and the guards were evenly dispersed, not moving in the wind, like stone carvings. The sound of the tower echoed, like a reminder in the strange night.

The envoy conveyed the edict at the palace gate and asked King Changshan to follow him into the palace to see him.

Qu Yi grabbed her arm, Yuan Lingjun looked at him, and looked into his deep black pupils like a lake, in which were full of his own shadows, short in stature, round and immature face. In the eyes of others, perhaps she is still a child who does not know the difficulties of the world.

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you here." Qu Yi finally let go of his hand and pretended to smile easily, but the clenched fists revealed the uneasiness and tension in his heart.

"Be careful, Lord." Ninety thousand and others are also here. Yuan Lingjun nodded, flicked his sleeves, and walked into the palace gate without looking back.

Jin Gong was like a tiger opening its mouth, and darkness instantly swallowed her petite body.

Yuan Lingjun hung her head and moved her steps with difficulty, and her mood was extremely heavy at the moment. The fragrance of plum blossoms dye her black hair and thin shoulders, and her lips and nose seem to be fragrant. There are more than 100 plum trees in the palace, and Yuan Lingjun remembers the most clearly the old plum tree outside the high wall of Shanglin Garden.

"Liuniang, don't sneak out of Shanglin Yuan to play, the front is not the place you should go."

"Liuniang, don't bump into the nobles."

"Liuniang, don't climb the high wall."

Don't, don't, don't...... The palace people repeated to her tirelessly.

What secrets are on the other side of the wall that she can't touch? Beauty, Fear, Sacred...... The unseen is often the most fascinating, but once you cross the forbidden wall, you find that the truth outside the wall is deadly.

Recalling the scene of seeing the monarch for the first time, Yuan Ling couldn't help but raise his head to look at Mei, Mei was nowhere to be seen, but the Changji Hall stood impressively in front of him.

Yuan Lingjun has never forgotten that scene, the first coup d'Γ©tat she experienced in her life, without fear, only full of confusion and anger.

She hurried through the doors of the temple, and with each passing one, the sound of the doors closing would come clearly from behind. Yuan Ling didn't squint, and rushed into the main hall briskly and heavily, and the candles in the room danced lightly in her pupils, disturbing her mind.

No matter how hot the flame is, it can't warm the wind in the winter night, and the guards with straight faces are stationed around the main hall, standing still, and the people who follow Yuan Lingjun are more like shadows, inseparable.

Under the faint candlelight, Emperor Yuanyou's face was even more blurred, he was draped in a wide robe, a thin single coat inside, and the placket was slightly open, revealing a wheat-colored chest. Emperor Yuan You happened to be seriously ill and described as quite haggard, but his eyes were shining, and Yuan Ling did not doubt him.

Yuan Lingjun sat at his feet as if he had lost his soul, and Emperor Yuan You smiled and held her in his arms.

"Father, will you be deposed?" It is more difficult to say this kind of thing than usual, she learned that her sister died because of her father's edict, and she was resentful, but today the eldest sister forced her father to abdicate, and she hated not to level the Jin Palace and the Xu family. Emperor Yuanyou couldn't understand her feelings, and the helplessness of the father's child who couldn't help grabbed her chest deeply.

Emperor Yuanyou said solemnly: "How can someone who can become an emperor be vulnerable, as long as I am still me, she does not have the ability to force me to give an edict to abdicate the throne." Emperor Yuan You leaned crookedly, caressing the top of Yuan Lingjun's hair very gently, "Mingyu did not take advantage of the chaos to leave Beijing, but ventured into the palace, because he was worried about his father's situation." Mingyu, my father is fine, but I feel relieved! He glanced coldly at the chamberlain, who was standing not far away.

Yuan Lingjun's nose was pantothenic, and he quickly lowered his eyes, "According to the situation at this time, even if Mingyu enters the palace, it will be difficult for the monarch to retreat, so it is better for the monarch to abdicate and protect himself." Sniffing the cuffs of the monarch vigorously, the plum fragrance on the placket of her clothes concealed the smell of medicine.

Yuan You shook his head: "Not yet, it's not time yet." You listen to your father first......" He stopped suddenly, staring at the six daughters with deep and unnatural eyes, revealing unspeakable anxiety.

He suddenly asked, "Mingyu, what about the jade deer you have worn since you were a child?" ”

"It's still there." Yuan Ling didn't know what he meant, and he pulled his collar to take out the white jade deer and show it to Emperor Yuan You.

Emperor Yuanyou waved his hand, stunned: "No need, I don't want to see it." ”

Holding down Yulu's hand and paused, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, Yuan Lingjun held his breath and looked up at his father's jaw.

"Father! Immediately transfer troops to the king. ”

"I'm stupid." Emperor Yuanyou frowned, leaned over and looked at the six daughters, "Woe to Xiao Wall, internal and external troubles, I abdicate at this moment, it is nothing more than to put the Yuan family in a desperate situation - the selfish desires of the Xu family are more important than state affairs, and they will lead to the destruction of the country." I expected it to be today...... Among your sisters, Tongqing is the most dangerous, she has discussed the prince, can not stay in the palace, I ordered someone to mix the drug in her tea, after drinking it will sleep soundly for two to three days, when she wakes up, she should also arrive at Yaoguang Temple safely, as long as the Huo family does not fall, Tongqing survives safely, the Xu family will not pay too much attention. On the contrary, it is you, after the princess ascends to the pole, the next Xu family will start to decompose the eastern and southern forces, and you will be in a difficult situation in Changshan Country, on the one hand, you are an aggressive sister, and on the other hand, you are an adoptive mother who is secretly pressuring. Zhang Zhongshu's transfer of troops this time was to block the palace ban on the grounds that I was seriously ill, and I first ordered the princess to supervise the country in the name of recuperation, and you should leave Lin'an as much as possible. ”

Yuan Lingjun shook his head firmly, "Father, I won't leave!" ”

"You have to be obedient! The reason why I named you Lingjun is that I hope you will abide by your duties as a courtier, be loyal to the people, and solve your worries for the king. But you have a mother who is too strong, it can't be too easy, Fan Jiang is not easy in the room, her actions are very clear to me, I am worried about what is still to come - she is ambitious, she is ambitious in the world, if he does something in the future, you will be her puppet, I can't rest assured, arrange reliable people by your side, take the idea for you, and you can't come. ”

Yuan Lingjun looked back in amazement, and the person under the curtain bowed his sleeves, Zhilan Yushu.

"Qu Yi!" She exclaimed.

I don't know how long Qu Yi has been standing there. The chill on his robe had dissipated, and the fragrant incense warmed his picturesque eyebrows.
