044 Yuwen's wedding
The faint smell of blood permeated the air, mixed with Tianyan's low sobbing voice, so sad.
Wei Xiaokuan, dressed in brass battle armor, stepped into the dormitory surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, his face was not shocked, and his cold gaze swept over the bodies of the two Turkic princes and Princess Jiyao, and finally landed on my face.
"Dangchang!"
With a crisp sound, Wei Xiaokuan threw the long sword in his hand in front of me: "Demon girl, you have harmed the saint like this, how can the whole Zhou Kingdom tolerate you? You better kill yourself and don't force me to do it." ”
"Wei Xiaokuan, you are so bold!" Before I could speak, a voice suddenly came from behind me, so all the guards knelt on the ground with a low cry, and I turned around to see that Yu Wenyong, who was pale, had woken up at some point.
When he saw the body of Princess Jiyao, he angrily reprimanded: "You dare to kill my sister, the princess of Da Zhou...... Come on, take down this chaotic minister and thief!"
Wei Xiaokuan didn't expect Yuwen Yong to wake up at this time, so he suddenly messed up, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the two Turkic princes intended to assassinate, and the old minister had no choice but to shoot them, this Princess Yao and the second Turkic prince have a personal relationship, and it will only be ...... to block arrows for the thief."
"Shut up!" Yu Wenyong stood up from the bed with his body propped up, and kicked Wei Xiaokuan in the chest: "Don't try to slander her reputation!"
Wei Xiaokuan is very old, Yu Wenyong was injured, this kick was not strong enough, just kicked him to the ground, and when he was about to get up, Yu Wenyong had already picked up the long sword that was originally going to be used to break me from the ground and stabbed him fiercely.
"Your Majesty, keep people under the sword!"
A figure rushed straight from outside the hall, dragging Wei Xiaokuan, who had fallen to the ground, a few steps away, and was able to avoid the sword that pierced his chest. Only then did I realize that the person who came was Yu Wenyong's younger brother - Yu Wenxian.
Yu Wenyong looked at Yu Wenxian in front of him: "Get out!
Yu Wenxian prostrate on the ground: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that Wei Zhuguo is an important minister of the country, and he has made countless military exploits for the Great Zhou, if the emperor really kills him, how will the people of the world look at the emperor? This time Zhuguo shot the Turkic rebel thief and saved the emperor's life, and it was a mistake to kill the eldest princess by mistake, and the merit and demerits were offset, and the crime was not to death!"
The rest of the ministers who rushed to hear the news also fell to their knees and pleaded for Wei Xiaokuan.
"Wei Xiaokuan's killing of my own sister must not be spared. Yu Wenyong's cold gaze swept everyone: "Nian Qi has been born and died for the Northern Zhou Dynasty for many years, and has made many contributions, so I will leave him with a life." The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and today he has been stripped of all his titles, expelled from the court, and demoted to the common people. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Xiaokuan's face was completely gray, such an end was something he never dreamed of, and he forgot to respond for a while.
"Emperor Shengming!" Yu Wenxian was stunned when he saw Wei Xiaokuan, and hurriedly helped him up.
Wei Xiaokuan came to his senses at this time, and his words were extremely sad: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, and the grass people will retire!"
After that, he turned around, and with the support of the two royal guards, he staggered out of the palace.
Yu Wenxian waited for him to leave, suddenly realized something, and said bluntly to Yu Wenyong: "Lao Zhuguo shot the two Turkic princes, how could the Turkic Khan give up? The emperor has to make plans early!"
Yu Wenyong's face was pale, his eyes were so cold that people felt as if he was in the cold winter moon, he deliberately avoided my gaze, and slowly said to Yu Wenxian: "You quickly go to the treasury to prepare two thousand taels of gold, three thousand horses of brocade, plus 100,000 quintals of rice and grain, and send them to the Turkic Khan to make amends, and at the same time announce the ...... to the world" At this point, he looked back at me, his eyes revealed unwillingness, his eyes closed, and then he said tenacity: "I will make the Turkic Ashina county lord the queen, and I will get married in ten days!"
Yu Wenxian frowned slightly: "The minister will do it!"
"I'm tired, let's all retreat!" Yu Wenyong waved his hand, and all the ministers followed Yu Wenxian out of the dormitory, leaving only me and Tianyan in the room.
"As you wish, you can finally leave me, you can finally get rid of everything I have. ”
"The emperor is the king of a country, so he naturally has what he should do!" I lowered my voice, avoided him, and looked at the lost Tianyan in front of me: "She even turned her father and brother away for you, you must not fail her again." ”
After saying goodbye, he went straight out of the dormitory, not wanting to stay longer.
......
The palace was first busy with the funeral of Princess Jiyao, and then arranged the wedding of Yuwen Yong.
Although Yu Wenyong's body has not recovered, there are too many things to deal with, and I can hardly see his figure, but Tianyan, who often comes to me after that day, and the knot between me and her is slowly dissolving.
After all, it is a big wedding, and it is a man who thinks about it for a long time, Tianyan's mood is gradually getting better with the advent of the wedding date, and she often asks me about some of the customs of the Central Plains wedding. Although the steward of the palace will send someone to teach, she is reluctant to contact people, and only I am willing to handle everything, and I can only accompany her to dress up and assist from the side.
The emperor's wedding is different from ordinary people, from morning to night, worshipping the sky, telling ancestors, and being worshiped by the ministers, so tired that Tianyan is exhausted, and even the Xia curtain is too late to get rid of it after arriving at her dormitory, so she is unwilling to get up again in bed.
Yu Wenyong waited for the ministers to disperse before he could come over, so I naturally couldn't stay any longer, so I got up and retired.
Tianyan suddenly grabbed my hand and didn't want to let go: "Sister, I'm afraid!"
"What are you afraid of? women will have such a day, you are the queen of the Great Zhou, shouldering the heavy responsibility of continuing the bloodline and national honor for the Zhou family, don't be afraid!"
Tianyan's face showed a flush, lowered his head and said: "I'm afraid he doesn't really love me, I'm afraid he will hate me for the rest ......of his life!
Before she finished speaking, a sudden sound came into my ears, and my heart jumped violently, and I instinctively pushed Tianyan away in front of me, and almost at the same time, a quenching dagger glowing with blue light was inserted into the place where Tianyan was sitting just now.
"Ah...... Be careful!" I pushed into the inside of the wide bed, looking behind me in horror.
I hurriedly turned, the cold blade slicing over my head, severing a few strands of hair around my neck. By the light of the light, I can see the appearance of the people who are coming!
"It's you, Ouyang Luoyu!" Although the woman in front of her was wearing a night suit, she was slim and missing a hand, so it was not difficult to recognize her.
"Get out of the way!" Ouyang Luoyu pushed me aside angrily, and looked straight at Tianyan: "If you want to be the queen, you have to die, the position of the queen of this Great Zhou is originally mine, it can only be mine, I am the queen......"
Before the words fell, the sword had arrived. She came with momentum, her consciousness didn't seem to be very clear, my body was not as good as before, I was a little exhausted, I barely resisted a few moves and couldn't support it, and I was forced to the corner of the dormitory by the sword light.
I knew that this matter was difficult to get right, and tried my best to stop her, so that Tianyan had a chance to escape, but who knew that the curtain was extremely long, and Tianyan tripped after not taking a few steps.
"Even if you kill me, the emperor's brother will not marry you, you are just a servant, you will never be able to marry the emperor's brother!"
Tianyan's words deeply pierced Ouyang Luoyu's heart, she didn't care about the consequences at all, and she didn't think about killing the person in front of her, whether she could escape, this sword she stabbed at Tianyu who fell to the ground.
"Die!" Ouyang Luoyu was close to madness, his eyes turned red, and he was almost dripping blood: "I can't, can you? What are you, you ......"
"Bang!"
At this moment, the palace gate was kicked open, and a figure rushed to the scene, blocking in front of Tianyan, it was Yu Wenyong.
Ouyang Luoyu looked stunned, and took a few steps back from the sword, but Yuwen Yong caught up with her, snatched the long sword in her hand, and immediately buckled her neck.
"Your Majesty, I care about the queen because I want to stay by your side, even if I will always be a humble servant girl in your eyes!, I don't want to leave you. But if you want to marry her, you will no longer tolerate me in your eyes, Your Majesty! Kill me! If I die, I don't need to see you with other women, I will never lose you, and I will never lose my love for you!" Ouyang Luoyu had no fear in his eyes, and his voice was compassionate.
Yu Wenyong was very resolute: "On my wedding day, you actually dare to assassinate my queen and concubine, how can I tolerate you?"
Ouyang Luoyu sneered: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, I don't even want my life, you can't tolerate me?
My heart tightened, and my eyes followed her closely, only to see that her face was bruised, and the color of unwillingness was written all over her cheeks, and I was thinking of what to say to relieve the tension in front of me.
But suddenly a crisp bone cracking sound sounded, and as soon as Yuwen Yong's hand was forced, she lost her breath in an instant.
"The person who is true to me has never put me in my heart, and the person I have never put in my eyes is willing to sacrifice for me!hahaha!"
Yu Wenyong's laughter echoed in the room: "I, Yu Wenyong, will never love again in this life!" After speaking, he left the dormitory without looking back.
