Chapter 288: Li Yan's Death
Jian Yu was completely stunned this time, she almost didn't keep up with her mother's thinking, she was still talking about national affairs, why did she jump to the love of children all of a sudden.
Ruan Shi only thought that Jian Yu was happy and stupid, and smiled helplessly: "Silly child, you are so happy, it seems that your mother has to marry her to you as a daughter-in-law, otherwise you will have to think about her for the rest of your life." ”
"No, mother...... I'm not ......," Jian Yu argued in embarrassment.
Ruan Shi waved his hand, directly interrupted Jian Yu's words and said, "Okay, don't say it, just stay at home these days, and talk about it when everything settles." ”
Jian Yu stopped talking, but his face was still worried, he looked up at the window, the remnant sun was as red as blood, he suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, he always felt that something bad was going to happen, but he didn't know if it was himself or the people around him.
The imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely luxurious. The golden pillar glazed tiles are so bright that people can hardly open their eyes under the eyes, and the nine dragons of the palace eaves are majestic and proud, looking at the country condescendingly.
Sunlight shines through the rhombic sandalwood windows, cutting the vermilion floor into intricate patterns. Under the white light, there were some strange points of light and dust flying, filling the quiet air.
Liuxi Palace is the place of the court, and the civil and military officials are here on weekdays, and the hall is empty at the moment, and there is no half of the person. Looking up along the steps, on the dragon chair inlaid with gold and red, sat a thin man.
The dragon chair was huge, and the man sat in it, as if it took up less than half of the space. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, but he didn't wear anything on his head. Long black hair fell out, blocking the little half of his face.
The surroundings, which should have been quiet, suddenly became noisy, and the noise slowly superimposed into a deafening shout from far and near, and the sound of human voices and footsteps reached the outside of the palace and stopped at the palace gate.
The man slowly stood up from the dragon chair, the bright yellow satin hanging heavily, and the sound of smurmuring could almost be heard in the middle of his movements. He walked to the side of the steps, slowly drew his sword from the scabbard at his side, and stood on the edge of the steps.
With a "dang", the gate of Liuxi Palace was knocked open. A group of people burst in with bright weapons in their hands. Look closely. These people were covered in blood, scarlet splashed on them, and I don't know how many people's blood was stained, so I guess they killed all the way in. The first person was naturally Meng Feiyang. The silver-white armor on his body was almost stained with blood. With a knife in his hand. But there was not a drop of blood on the blade. Apparently a sword.
Entering Liuxi Palace, this group of people saw that the hall was empty, and they were all stunned at first. Meng Feiyang raised his head. He met the eyes of the man standing on the side of the steps. He smiled suddenly, his smile was shallow, although he was wearing a half-mask, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he still couldn't say that he was good-looking.
"Uncle Huang, it's been a long time......"
Li Yan on the steps looked down at Meng Feiyang with a complicated expression, and after a while, he also smiled, there was some warmth in his smile, "Ah Chang, you have also grown up, if your father is still here, he will be very happy to see you like this." ”
The smile on the corner of Meng Feiyang's lips gradually faded, and his tone instantly became cold, "If my father is still here, how could Uncle Huang sit in this position, Uncle Huang was so unscrupulous back then, rushing to kill everything, did you think that there would be today." ”
"The imperial brother is a good imperial brother, but I don't think he will be a good emperor, too kind-hearted people are not suitable to sit in this seat, in fact, at the moment of the imperial brother's death, I already thought that there would be today, but I don't regret it, I have sat in this seat for the rest of my life, it is enough." Li Yan still had a smile on his face, as if he was caught in a memory.
Meng Feiyang sneered, "It's not up to you to decide whether you are suitable to be the emperor, you kill your brother and seize the throne, it is intolerable, if you have a trace of kindness, you will not even let me and my sister go, my little sister was only three years old at the time, because of your pursuit, now her whereabouts are unknown, and she doesn't know ...... life or death."
Li Yan listened to Meng Feiyang's words, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked slowly, "Ah Chang, do you want to know where your sister is?" ”
Meng Feiyang's face changed, stared straight at Li Yan's face and asked, "You know?" ”
A trace of inexplicable happiness flashed on Li Yan's face, "I also hugged Xiao Aning when she was born, I have always loved her very much, how can I be willing to kill her, don't worry, she is alive and well now......"
Meng Feiyang listened to Li Yan's words, his face changed a few times, and he was about to speak, but at this moment, Li Yan showed a crazy smile on his face, and he raised the sword in his hand. The sword reflected a dazzling light in the setting sun.
The people below thought that he was going to make a move, and there was a commotion. In the midst of the noise, Li Yan said loudly: "You will never be able to get A-Ning back in your life!" ”
Meng Feiyang was startled and ran up the steps: "Wait, don't ...... yet"
Li Yan glanced down and said, "I knew that I would not be able to escape death, if I made a decision myself, it would be considered dignified to go!" After speaking, he raised his sword and slashed back from high to low, straight from the side of his face to his neck.
Blood splattered out, spilling Meng Feiyang, who rushed up. Li Yan slowly fell, and the bright yellow was swallowed by the scarlet rendering, turning into a bright red.
Meng Feiyang's face was stained with Li Yan's blood, he stood quietly in front of the corpse, speechless for a long time, perhaps he didn't think that the enemy he once wanted to eat his flesh was actually killed like this, and took away the secret in his heart.
After Li Yan died, the entire palace was basically under Meng Feiyang's control, there were already many palace maids and eunuchs in the harem who escaped from various hidden exits, and the people brought by Meng Feiyang could not guard every exit, so there were always many fish that slipped through the net, and a group of women wearing palace maid clothes hurriedly climbed over a high wall in the secret place of the harem when Li Yan killed herself, and the last palace maid climbed over the high wall and stood outside, she looked up at the majestic palace inside the wall, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and after a while, she resolutely turned around, He put the drape on his cloak and ran away without looking back.
It took Meng Feiyang a night to count the number of people in the entire Zhou Palace, which was very large, except for the treasures. And beauties.
When Li Yan was there, they were forbidden in the deep palace, and now that Li Yan is dead, they have naturally become goods that have been picked at will.
Li Yan is not a lustful person, there will be no more than a hundred women in the harem who have really been fortunate by him, except for these concubines, most of them are palace maids and eunuchs, but his children have only found a few young princes and princesses, as well as the eldest prince and the third prince, and a pair of children that he once valued the most. Lee Yufen and Lee Seung-woo. But it was gone.
Meng Feiyang looked at the roster handed over by Lu Qingcang, his brows frowned slightly, his fingers tapped regularly on the roster, and after thinking for a moment. Only then did he ask out loud: "You said Jun Qishan is crazy?" Really crazy or fake crazy? ”
Lu Qingcang hesitated for a moment. Only then did he reply: "My subordinates listened to Jun Qishan's personal palace maid. She is crazy because Lee Seung-woo is crippled. ”
"That is, she can't ask anything from her mouth......" Meng Feiyang frowned and said to himself, "I'm also strange." That Li Chengyou is already a wasted person, how did he escape from the palace. ”
Lu Qingcang was also very puzzled about this matter, he could understand that Li Yufen could escape smoothly, but Li Chengyou ...... He couldn't even walk, how the hell did he escape.
"First send people to guard the city gates, and don't let anyone out of the city, I don't believe they can still put on their wings and fly." Meng Feiyang commanded coldly.
Lu Qingcang immediately responded, Meng Feiyang seemed to think of something again, and asked, "Didn't Li Xiao say that he wanted to find someone in the palace, how about it, did he find it?" ”
"He was still looking for him when he saw him below, he shouldn't have found it yet, the palace is so big, there are so many people, and he hasn't seen the face of the person he wants to find for many years, I'm afraid it will take some time to see them one by one." Lu Qingcang replied.
"Then let him be, you haven't slept for a few days, go down and rest first." Meng Feiyang is still very sympathetic to his subordinates, so he said.
Lu Qingcang saluted in fear, looked at Meng Feiyang again, and then said after thinking about it: "Your Majesty also rested earlier, your golden body is much more valuable than your subordinates." ”
Meng Feiyang listened to Lu Qingcang's words, and said with a smile: "It's too early to call Your Majesty now." ”
Lu Qingcang also smiled slightly: "It's just a matter of time, and His Royal Highness is orthodox, so he should have sat on this son a long time ago." ”
Meng Feiyang only smiled after hearing this, and stopped talking, he suddenly remembered something, so he looked at Lu Qingcang and asked, "I remember that Qingcang, your father is Lu Shangshu, right?" ”
Lu Qingcang listened to Meng Feiyang's question, his face was faintly excited, and he immediately replied: "Back to His Royal Highness, it is exactly, my father was also given to death by the faint monarch back then, and dozens of men in my Lu family, except for his subordinates who were studying abroad and escaped by luck, the others ...... It's life and death. Lu Qingcang's face was sad, although more than ten years have passed since this incident, it is still an indelible pain for him.
"And there are still people alive in your family?" Meng Feiyang asked again.
"Although my father and brother died, but some of the female dependents survived, my own sister was not affected because of her marriage, but because my family suffered, I think it must be difficult to come these years, but because she married far away, I haven't seen her all these years, and my mother and sister were rescued by my maternal grandfather's family, my mother has been leading the practice since returning to her mother's house, for my father and brother, and my only sister also married a few years ago, married to a new jinshi, because I was still wanted at the time, I didn't even attend my sister's wedding. Lu Qingcang's words were full of regret, and his face was very melancholy.
"You're just these two sisters, and nothing else?" Meng Feiyang's expression was a little strange, and he asked again.
A strange look flashed in Lu Qingcang's eyes, and he wondered why Meng Feiyang suddenly cared so much about his family affairs, but he didn't dare to show a trace of slackness on his face, and continued to reply: "There are also a few cousins, who were also rescued by their grandfather's family at the beginning, and now what is the current situation, my subordinates don't know." ”
Meng Feiyang stopped asking questions at this time, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for the Lu family." ”
When Lu Qingcang got Meng Feiyang's words, his face was full of joy, and he immediately bowed deeply, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Your subordinates thank Your Highness for your grace, and you will definitely live up to Your Highness's grace." ”
Meng Feiyang waved his hand to let Lu Qingcang step back, then pushed the documents on the bookcase to the side, his body relaxed, and the palace maid on the side consciously came over to rub his shoulders for him, but he refused, just closed his eyes, I don't know if he was recuperating or thinking about something.
He suddenly missed you Lu Wan and Ping'an, I haven't seen them for more than half a month, and I don't know how they are now, whether they are doing well or not, whether Ping'an has a little temper and is ...... Did you miss him......
Meng Feiyang's face unconsciously showed a light smile, thinking that when they settled here, he would take them to the capital.
There are a lot of palace rooms in the palace, and there are countless gorgeous and extravagant ones, just from the previous emperors like to live, there are more than a dozen, Meng Feiyang now lives in this room called Longquan, neither the most gorgeous and beautiful, nor the emperor has ever lived, but he lived here when he was a child, there are memories of his father and mother, and he also likes the location here, as long as the door of the palace is open, even if you sit inside, you can overlook the green mountains in the distance, which makes Meng Feiyang have a feeling of being in the clouds and overlooking the common people.
At this time, the palace maid said outside: "Your Highness, General Li asks to see you." ”
Meng Feiyang retracted his mind and said slowly: "See." ”
Li Xiao walked into the hall, his face was not very good, but he still respectfully told Meng Feiyang: "Your Highness, someone just fainted outside the palace wall, with a special jade plate on his body, that person claimed to be a shadow guard before he fainted, and he asked to see you urgently, and his subordinates didn't know how to deal with it, so he came to tell him." ”
When Meng Feiyang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately ordered Li Xiao: "Bring people in quickly!" ”
The person was actually already waiting outside the palace gate, and Li Xiao got Meng Feiyang's answer, and immediately asked people to carry the shadow owl in.
The shadow owl's description at the moment was very embarrassing, the clothes on his body were torn in many places, oozing red blood, his face was pale, obviously caused by excessive blood loss, he closed his lips tightly, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs in his chest, it would have made people feel that he was already a dead man.
"Quickly find a doctor to come and diagnose it!" Meng Feiyang's face was gloomy and terrifying at this time, and he commanded in a deep voice.
Because the palace has changed masters, the imperial doctors were also silent, but at this time, they were recruited by Meng Feiyang, one by one as timid as quails, and a group of imperial doctors gathered around the soft couch, carefully treating the shadow owl, for fear that if one was not careful, it would cause the disaster of killing.
Meng Feiyang's face had always been gloomy and terrifying. Seeing that the imperial doctors had bandaged the wounds of the shadow owl, they asked coldly, "How is he, when will he wake up?" (To be continued......)
