readx; The news that the emperor gave the fourth lady of Yanfu to marry the three princes soon spread throughout the imperial capital, although many people said that they could not understand that the three imperial concubines had just passed away, and they were about to marry the new imperial concubines, and they were still sisters, even the people could not understand, but when they thought that they were about to become the new three imperial concubines were also Yan family, people seemed to be a little relieved, and they all said that the emperor was good to the Yan family, and this had just passed away a daughter, so he immediately married another daughter to his son, which was also making up for the Yan family.

Yan Xiruo sat on the Tianxiang Building, listening to the people below talking about it, she was going to go back to the Yan Mansion, but she didn't think about it before she walked halfway, and she met a few uncles and Xi Yao, thinking about the eldest aunt in the Yan Mansion, Yan Xi was afraid that she couldn't help but sarcastically mock her, so she temporarily decided to invite the uncles to this Tianxiang Building, anyway, this is the second uncle's property.
"Ugh." The eldest uncle sighed, and after this incident came out, his whole person seemed to be much older: "Ridiculous, ridiculous." ”
"Uncle, don't be like this, it's not too bad for the fourth sister to marry the third prince." Yan Xiruo handed Master Yan a cup of tea and comforted him softly.
Master Yan glanced at her and shook his head: "Xi Yao, you don't understand, your fifth sister has just died for less than a month, and the emperor decreed that your fourth sister will be married to your fifth sister's husband, so why doesn't the old man think it's ridiculous." ”
"Uncle, don't think so, from ancient times to the present, it is not without precedent for sisters to marry one person at the same time, besides, isn't this a foregone conclusion now, you are sighing, what can you do if you don't want to, it is better to happily send the fourth sister to join the third prince's mansion." Yan Xiruo said slowly, although the eldest uncle hurt herself, but for this matter, she really didn't think about comforting anyone, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
"I also think, Xiruo, my uncle can't pass that level in my heart, Zixi and Zilan are my biological daughters, as long as I think of Zilan's death, I will, I will be sad, I am not against Zixi marrying the third prince, but, as long as I think of Zilan's bones are not cold, my sister will marry her brother-in-law and take the place of my sister, I will, I will be sad." As soon as Master Yan thought of his dead daughter and his grandson who had not yet had an accident, his whole person was filled with sadness, so that Yan Xiruo and several other uncles didn't know how to persuade him.
What's more, what is the use of how they persuade them, the holy order is difficult to disobey, and what can a courtier do except obey the order?
In the end, Master Yan was unwilling, so he could only send his daughter to the sedan chair.
The emperor's marriage on the chosen day did come very quickly, and it was only a week after the holy decree came down, and Yan Zixi married into the mansion of the third prince in front of the people of the entire imperial capital, and officially banned the position of his own sister.
On the day Xuanyuan Hao and Yan Zixi got married, Yan Xiruo also took Xuanyuan Mo to the scene, looking at the people in front of her who said things against her heart, I don't know why, she always vaguely felt uneasy, as a phantom family, her intuition has always been accurate.
Yan Xiruo took Xuanyuan Mo's hand, not daring to let him leave his side for half a step, Xuanyuan Mo also seemed to feel Yan Xiruo's uneasiness, and stayed quietly by Yan Xiruo's side.
"Catkins." Yan Xiruo whispered to the people behind her, and when she saw Liu Fu lowering her head, she whispered in her ear: "You rush back to the palace and go to Commander Qin, I think something is wrong." After speaking, he gave Liu Fu the token that the masked man gave him to represent the identity of the shadow, and after seeing her leave quietly, he was slightly relieved.
She hadn't felt like this for many years, even the air seemed to hide a murderous intention, she didn't dare to guarantee how terrible something would happen today, she could only do her best to protect Xuanyuan Mo's safety.
After exchanging pleasantries with those guests, Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo finally found Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo who had been standing aside, and walked towards them with a wine glass.
But in an instant, there were many more people around Yan Xiruo, she frowned without a trace, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and raised a smile to look at Xuanyuan Hao who was walking towards her in front of her: "Congratulations to the third emperor brother, my brother and sister wish you a happy wedding and an early birth to a noble son." ”
Xuanyuan Hao's original smile was slightly loosened when he heard the early birth of the noble son, Yan Zilan's child in the stomach was a knife in his heart, every time he heard the child, he was deeply tugging on the knife, grinding his own distressed blood.
"Borrow the words of my brother and sister." Raising the wine glass, Xuanyuan Hao's eyes looked at Yan Xiruo's hand with Xuanyuan Mo, and the light in his eyes flashed, this person should have been his, but she would rather choose a fool than choose him.
If Yan Xi didn't miss the vagueness that flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, the corners of his mouth were hooked without a trace, but it was only for a moment.
Yan Ruiting, who is the master of the horse, stood behind Yan Ruijing, squinting slightly and looking at Yan Xiruo, this sister, he has never been very close to her, although he doesn't hate her, but they get along more like strangers, once when she was a child, she was arrogant and domineering, and she didn't cause trouble for the family, but her grandmother, father and several uncles all loved her, which made Yan Ruiting not like this sister very much, obviously the child born to the daughter of the Yan family, but she was more favored than them, the sons of the Yan family.
"Third brother, congratulations." Xuanyuan Ye stood beside Xuanyuan Mo, raised the wine glass in his hand, and smiled warmly and beautifully.
Xuanyuan retracted his gaze that stayed on Yan Xiruo, and also smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.
A group of people gathered around Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo, saying all kinds of blessings while drinking wine.
Yan Xiruo was not in the mood to care about what they said at all, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, and he sent Xuanyuan Mo behind Xuanyuan Ye without a trace, Xuanyuan Mo is now like a child, and he doesn't even have the most basic self-protection ability.
Xuanyuan Ye seemed to feel Yan Xiruo's movements, turned his head slightly, and looked at her puzzledly, but did not move his position, but leaned closer in the direction of Xuanyuan Mo, blocking almost half of his body behind him.
Yan Xiruo noticed such a small detail, and glanced at Xuanyuan Miao, who was talking to Yan Ruiting in front of him, Yan Xiruo whispered: "Your Highness, I have a bad premonition, something will happen here, if something really happens later, can you please take care of the prince." ”
Xuanyuan Ye is worth believing, Yan Xiruo has never questioned this, not to mention, she believes that what she said just now, Yan Ruijing, who was standing on the other side of Xuanyuan Night, must have heard it, because she saw that as soon as her words fell, Yan Ruijing leaned towards them almost inaudibly, blocking the other side of Xuanyuan Mo, and completely protecting him behind him.
Xuanyuan stared at Yan Xiruo at night, wanting to judge the truth of her words, but in his heart, he had long decided that Yan Xiruo would not lie, and as an illusory family, her intuition was terrifying.
Before they could get the shadow guards around them to protect Xuanyuan Mo, an arrow with a wind flew in their direction like a bamboo.
If Yan Xi retreated Xuanyuan Mo behind Xuanyuan Ye and Yan Ruijing, one sideways, the arrow flew over her shoulder, fixed on the pillar not far away, the arrow completely submerged into the pillar, and her clothes were also cut by the arrow.
"Someone, there's an assassin."
Yan Xi didn't remember who shouted this voice, she only knew that the arrow seemed to be a signal, the arrow had just been fixed like a pillar, and many black-clothed people appeared on the roofs around it, each of them holding the arrows that had been full of strings in their hands, and without even giving them any buffer time, the arrow broke away from the bow and came towards their pavement, and at that moment, it seemed like a rain of arrows in the sky.
In just an instant, the courtyard that had been joyful turned into a hell where ghosts cried wolf.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuanyuan went back to the palace with the queen and the concubine early, otherwise, they would be more troublesome, but there is also a crown prince and other princes here.
Yan Xiruo deftly dodged the rain of arrows flying indiscriminately, and frowned at those well-trained men in black, who gave these people such courage to dare to kill in front of the crown prince and all the princes, or was their purpose these people?
There were already a lot of corpses lying in the courtyard, and those who were lucky enough to be alive were all fleeing in all directions crying wolves, and it turned out that when their lives were threatened, these ministers who were usually righteous and awe-inspiring would also have such a timid behavior.
The man in black on the roof put away his bow and arrows, drew his sword from behind his back, and threw himself into the courtyard from all directions, to be precise, to the place where Yan Xiruo and they were.
Because everything came too suddenly, Xuanyuan Ye and Xuanyuan Hao were all forced together like themselves.
Xuanyuan Miao looked down at the arm that was accidentally scratched by the random arrow, his brows were furrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What kind of people are these, they are really bold and dare to assassinate people in the royal family." ”
Yan Xiruo ignored him, but looked at Xuanyuan Ye, and said coldly: "Take the prince away." As she spoke, a man in black pounced on her, without the slightest hesitation, Yan Xiruo's wrist flipped and a dagger slashed at the opponent's neck, killing her with one stab.
More and more men in black surrounded them, but the guards protecting them were slow to arrive.
Yan Xiruo rolled his eyes fiercely, it seems that these people are prepared, and it is estimated that there are no guards left outside.
Xuanyuan Ye and Yan Ruijing also drew their weapons and protected Xuanyuan Mo behind them, their bodies had some wounds because of the random arrows just now, but behind them, Xuanyuan Mo didn't even have a little less clothes.
Yan Xiruo's eyes narrowed slightly, what flashed in her eyes was ruthlessness, and as soon as her wrist was forced, the neck of another person was also cut by her.
The men in black poured up from all over the place as if endlessly, one fell, and another followed.
Yan Xiruo stabbed the dagger into the chest of a man in black who was about to sneak up on Yan Ruiting, and turned around and pulled Xuanyuan Miao, allowing him to avoid the danger that went straight to his neck.
After Yan Ruiting twisted the neck of a man in black, he turned around and threw the sword in his hand behind Yan Xiruo, and a man in black fell down in response, he looked at Yan Xiruo and nodded, speechless.
Xuanyuan Miao looked down at the arm that was pulled by Yan Xiruo, and then at the person who almost killed him, and stabbed him mercilessly.
"Thank you." If it weren't for Yan Xiruo pulling him, it is estimated that he would have died at this moment.
Yan Xiruo didn't answer her, but kept in front of Xuanyuan Ye and Yan Ruijing, blocking most of the attacks for them.
If Yan Xi will help Xuanyuan Hao, she completely thinks that this way of dying is too cheap Xuanyuan Hao, she hates Xuanyuan Hao, and she can't wait for him to die, not only because he harmed himself in the previous life, but also because he collaborated with the enemy and treason in this life, but even then, Yan Xi felt that he couldn't let him die in the hands of these thieves, if Xuanyuan died today, then he died for this big beam, and he died brightly, maybe he could get a good reputation after death.
How could Yan Xiruo, who hated Xuanyuan to the extreme, let him die so honorably, for Xuanyuan Hao's ending, if Yan Xi wanted him to be ruined and discredited, life was better than death, she wanted him to taste the hundredfold pain of all the suffering she suffered in her previous life.
Yan Ruijing wanted to step forward to help him, but when he saw Xuanyuan Mo behind him, he finally stopped next to Xuanyuan Ye, they just promised Yan Xiruo that they would protect Xuanyuan Mo.
