When the soldiers approached the city, the imperial capital was still as quiet as before, and the water waves were not alarmed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city gate guards were loose and almost fled in despair. However, King Xuan's army did not drive straight in, but stationed outside the Anhua Gate. That night, a carriage entered the city through the main gate, went up to the deserted Suzaku Street, and went straight to the Donghe Palace.

When they reached the gate of the palace, the guards blocked the way and shouted, "Who broke into the palace!" ”

Immediately after seeing the face exposed inside when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the whole person was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

"Get up! I went into the palace to see the emperor. ”

"This ......"

A few years ago, Ning Yan, the eldest princess of Donghe, was dethroned for rebellion, and all related people were punished. During the reign of the Empress Dowager, the name Ning Yan was not even mentioned in Donghe. It was not until recently, when the Queen Mother died, that the emperor posthumously crowned her as the eldest princess of the country.

"Since the palace is still the eldest princess, what's wrong with going into the palace to see the emperor? Still not released? Her voice became colder and colder, faintly revealing the domineering spirit of being in a high position for many years.

The guard hurriedly said, "The last general will not dare." Then he turned around and shouted, "Open the door!" Release! Then he bowed down and retreated to the side of the road, Yan Ning glanced at him lightly and lowered the curtain.

The Donghe Royal Palace is still the same, not even the slightest change. She held her chin and looked out of the small window, as if she was still busy going to court in the early morning yesterday, accepting the worship of the ministers in the Wuji Palace, reviewing the chapters in the Chengqing Palace, and criticizing Zheng Yu with hatred by the way.

The cold night breeze still blows the hair, stirring the cold of the years.

There was no obstacle all the way to Chengqing Palace, and the old eunuch in a purple robe stood alone in the cold wind and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"The old slave greets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." The old figure knelt faintly.

"Father-in-law Duan, please hurry up," Yan Ning hurriedly helped him, "This palace also wants to thank Father-in-law Duan for his help many years ago." ”

Duan Ye Lao burst into tears: "The old slave was just a promise from the first queen, and he should protect the princess's life at a critical moment." It's just that the world is impermanent, and I just hope that the princess can have a good life and persuade the emperor. ”

Yan Ning nodded silently, and then walked towards the main hall step by step. Pushing open the heavy door, there was no light inside, and there was chaos.

"Yu'er." She stood still and called softly.

A hazy light cast down from behind her, casting a graceful figure on the ground. It was a long time before there was a slight movement in the darkness.

"Sister Huang." His voice was hoarse, and he didn't seem to speak for a long time.

Yan Ning turned to Duan Ye and said, "Please ask Duan's father-in-law to light the lamp." Then he walked towards the place where the voice had come.

When the light came, Yan Ning was a step away from him and looked at him condescendingly at him who was cowering in the corner. His face was pale, and his eyes were as dark as death. Looking at her, her hands trembled uncontrollably. Tears slowly welled up in his eyes.

"Sister Huang...... That's great...... You're not ...... dead" "I've been dreaming...... Dream that you jumped off a cliff...... And then I jumped down with you......"

Yan Ning raised her head and sighed before slowly squatting down and sitting beside him.

For a while, I didn't know what to say.

"Yu'er...... I never thought I'd ever see you again. She opened her mouth thoughtfully.

"Sister Huang...... Are you still complaining about me? ”

Yan Ning shook her head: "If I hadn't let go, I wouldn't have taken this trip, the past has passed." I forgot, and so do you. ”

Zheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's too hard to forget......"

"I'm here today in the hope that you will let go. The situation is already such that there is no need to struggle in vain. As long as you are obedient, at least I can save your life. There's only so much I can do for you. She said slowly, without hesitation.

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Yu sneered. "Did Gu Mingxuan ask you to come? He wants my submission and his bloodless command of Donghe? He still wants to block the mouths of the people of this world and rightfully ascend the throne? Why? Why did he take all the good things? ”

"He didn't let me come." In contrast, Yan Ning's voice was too quiet, "I want to come by myself, I want to see you." Yu'er, let it go. I...... I used to not believe in the Mandate of Heaven, I felt that as long as you worked hard, nothing could be changed, and I even felt that I could save the whole Donghe. But God told me with bloody facts that I was dreaming, and I spent nearly ten years dreaming until I finally woke up. Yu'er, it's time for you to wake up. ”

"Sister Huang, are you still blaming me?"

"Yes! Because it was you who uncovered this bloody scene and spread it out cruelly before me. ”

Zheng Yu fell backwards in a dejected manner, and two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.

"That's it, I lost. Maybe...... I've never won ......"

On that day, she didn't remember how Yan Ning left. When he woke up, he was already sitting in Gu Mingxuan's arms. Overhead was his gentle gaze.

She rubbed her eyes and smiled, "How did I get back?" ”

"Naturally, I personally picked up my wife for my husband." He habitually pinched her nose, and a moist smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "You're too tired, take a good rest, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Yan Ning nodded and closed her eyes slightly. With him here, what else is there to worry about?

******

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Donghe Shi Youqing, King Xuan's army quietly entered the city and occupied the Donghe Palace.

However, at the moment of entering the city, the last emperor of Donghe killed himself in Chengqing Palace, and a fire burned everything. also quietly obliterated everything in the past.

Yan Ning stood in front of the ruined Chengqing Palace for a long time, and the light rain dipped through every inch of her hair, soaking her body cold.

Gu Mingxuan hugged her into his arms from behind her, but didn't say a word.

But she could still see his concern, patted his hand and laughed softly, "I'm fine." But the smile was pale and weak.

How can it be okay? That's the person she regards as a relative, even if there has been unhappiness, even if there has been discord, she willfully hopes that he can still live. Although he knows, such an ending is too cruel for him. But he still didn't expect that he would end everything in such a decisive way.

The most important thing is that the world can't stay. So one by one, did they all go?

"I know you're sad, so cry if you want to."

"Nope." She shook her head, "I wish he could go to a warm place, warmer than here." I hope he can forget everything and live a ...... Live a little more peacefully......"

Everything just fell apart in an understatement.
