245. Chapter 103: The Millennial Palace Wall
Yu Ling stands outside the ancient palace in disrepair, after thousands of years of wind and frost, this palace is only left with mottled exterior walls, overgrown with weeds, and the former glory can still be seen in the ruins.
Under the sun, the jade palace plaque lying quietly in the corner can still see the vigorous and powerful font - Liuli Palace.
She had always thought that the dilapidated palace hidden in a remote corner of the palace was so remote that no one came to repair it, and no one thought of building a new palace on the same site.
It was found from the pile of old books in the library that it turned out that the Liuli Palace was the residence of Princess Ali thousands of years ago, and it was also a forbidden place in the palace of Zhao Kingdom.
There is also one thing recorded in the old book, Princess Ali and the first emperor of Zhao were united in love, and the story told her by Helan Yi is a little different, who is right and who is wrong can no longer be confirmed, the only thing that can be confirmed is that thousands of years ago, because Princess Ali, with grasslands, Central Plains, and mountains, the vast land of Cangnan was divided into three countries, these three countries have gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, until now, Cangnan was annexed by Dayuan State, next, is Zhao State destroyed first or Dayuan State is annexed by Zhao State?
History is always moving forward slowly, whether it is Dayuan or Zhao, they are full of ambition, between her and Helan Yi, in addition to personal feelings, there are also national interests in the middle, he is the king of Chu in Dayuan, she is the princess of Zhao who will inherit the throne, and her personal emotions are so small before the national interests.
Zhao Guofang and Jin Lihua walked slowly towards her surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, and as soon as they went to the court, they heard Jin Buchang's announcement that the princess went to the Liuli Palace again, both of them were very strange, she has been like this these days, and she came here after the court, did she find something in the Liuli Palace.
Jin Lihua knew very early on that Yu Ling often ran to the ruins of the Liuli Palace alone to look up at the sky, at that time it was because she was excluded in this palace, and now, she is already a noble status above ten thousand people, is there anything else that can't be figured out?
Yu Ling heard the sound of slow footsteps behind him, turned around, and saw that it was them coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, "Father, your body hasn't healed yet, why are you here?" ”
"No problem, no problem." Zhao Guofang waved his hand again and again, "If I don't come out for a walk, my body will be stiff." Between the words, he no longer called himself me, obviously he didn't think of himself as an emperor anymore, "Yu Ling, why don't you take a break, what are you doing here?" He also wondered how his daughter was so interested in the long-abandoned palace.
Yu Ling took a few steps forward with his arm, chuckled, and said tactfully: "I heard a story that this glazed palace was built by the ancestors of the Zhao family for Princess Ali, and I really want to know the story of Princess Ali. ”
Jin Lihua walked behind her, giggled, and scolded: "Silly daughter, a thousand years have passed, and the stories that have been handed down have definitely lost their truth." ”
Yu Ling is right to think about it, a thousand years have passed, even if that story is recorded in the old book, but maybe the ancestors of the Zhao family made it up in order to cover up their self-reliance as kings, and Princess Ali may be a victim.
Helan Yi's ancestor Helan Yin may be the same, in order to cover up, he made up the story of Princess Ali and his love, and became angry and finally established the Great Plains Kingdom.
The imperial palace of the Great Plains Kingdom also has an identical palace, so is there also a glazed palace in the imperial palace of Cangnan Kingdom?
"It's been a thousand years, don't you explore it." Zhao Guofang gently stroked her hair and smiled kindly, after this catastrophe, he had gains and losses, but the most important thing was to get his daughter's understanding, and the rest of the losses were not enough to worry about, "Yu Ling, it will be my birthday in a few days, I want to give you the throne officially on the day of my birthday, you don't shirk it anymore, among the children of the father, who else can bring Zhao Guo to a new height." ”
Jin Lihua told him about the fortune telling of Yu Ling when she was a child, Yu Ling has handled state affairs properly this month, Zhao Guofang saw it in her eyes, and she was even more convinced that she was the life of the empress, and her body was not allowed to work anymore, the queen was pregnant with a dragon in her belly, and he accompanied the queen while recuperating to compensate for the debt of the past 16 years.
He had already thought about it, whether Yu Ling agreed or not, he would put her on the throne of the emperor, and his daughter would definitely be able to become a wise empress in the history of Zhao State.
Yu Ling let go of his hand, hesitated, stopped in front of him, Ying Ying knelt down, "Father, daughter can't inherit the throne." ”
"Get up." Zhao Guofang held her body with both hands and wanted to help her up, but Yu Ling grabbed his hand, raised his head and looked at him hesitantly, wanting to speak again.
"Hurry up, your father's body hasn't healed yet, can you bear him to bend over like this?"
Yu Ling let go of his hand and lowered his head, "Father, my daughter has an unspeakable secret, I really can't ascend the throne as an emperor", straightened up, and shouted at a group of minions: "You take twenty steps back." ”
The eunuchs and palace maids all bowed their heads and retreated according to her will, no one dared to say a word, in the palace today, the words of the eldest princess Zhao Yuling were more shocking than anyone else.
"The minions retreated, Yu Ling, you get up and talk, what is the secret to tell the father and queen mother." Jin Lihua stepped forward to help her up, but Yu Ling refused.
"Queen Mother, my daughter has been thinking about it here for several days, thinking of our Zhao family, thinking of our Zhao country, thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to give up everything, because in Tiancheng, there is a man waiting for me to go back and spend my life together."
Speaking of Tiancheng, there was a touch of tenderness in her resolute expression, Helan Yi was waiting for her, she must go back, he promised her that he would run hand in hand on the wide grassland for the rest of his life, he would not break his promise, and she could not break his promise.
"Who is it?" Zhao Guofang couldn't help but be furious, "Didn't you dissolve your marriage with Helan Xue?" "At the beginning, it was completely for the benefit of Zhao Guo, and now he knows that Yu Ling is his own daughter, since he has come back, where is he willing to let her go, "No, Yu Ling, you are my baby daughter, I can't let you go back to a wild place like Dayuan Kingdom, who is that man, send someone to pick him up, and give him the title of concubine." ”
The word concubine reminded Yu Ling of a joke with He Lanyi in private, after they got married, ordinary Helan Yi was the concubine of the princess of Zhao Kingdom, the king of Chu of Dayuan Kingdom, he could not come to Zhao Kingdom to be a little concubine, he was an eagle on the grassland, and he was a god in the hearts of the people of Dayuan Kingdom, and he could not be insulted because of her.
Jin Lihua faintly guessed from Yu Ling's expression that the man who was waiting for her to go back was He Lanyi, the king of Chu, and unconsciously moved in her heart, he once wrote a secret letter to her, and when he became the emperor of Dayuan Kingdom, he would marry Yu Ling as the queen, and now, He Lanhong, the emperor of Dayuan Kingdom, is very ill, and Helan Yi is handling major national affairs, he is no different from the emperor, the problem is that he cannot come to Zhao State.
Yu Ling refused to get up, she struggled for a long time, and thought of a lot of things, Helan Yi, as the king of Chu in the Great Plains Kingdom, could not give up the people of the country for her, the men of the Great Plains Kingdom kept their promises, he had promised his father and the emperor to protect the Great Plains Kingdom, and he would definitely give up the love between him and her.
Well, only she gave up.
"My daughter and Helan Xue have dissolved their marriage, but before coming back, they have already married Helan Yi." raised her head, bit her lip, and decided to say it all, she couldn't half-hug the pipa to cover her face, and said halfway, "Please forgive my daughter for her self-assertions, my daughter and Helan are in love, and they have gone through a lot of hardships to get together, he took me to the holy land of their Helan family, and saw the lily of the valley flowers flying all over the sky, a man can let me know the emperor of the Helan family can know the things of the Helan family, this man loves me deeply, so my daughter is willing to give up everything for him." ”
Zhao Guofang was shocked when he heard He Lanyi's name, fortunately Jin Lihua held his arm, so he didn't retreat, He Lanyi, that man is a big trouble in his heart, whether it was before or now, with him, Zhao Guo has the possibility of being annexed by Dayuan State.
"Helan Yi, he is a terrible man, and Cangnan Kingdom died because of him."
Hearing the muttering with fear, Yu Ling hurriedly got up and held his other arm, "Father, he is not a terrible man, Cangnan Kingdom died because of him, but that was also Yinlan caught him with despicable means, and her daughter was angry and sent Ling Han, the fierce general of the Great Plains Kingdom, to attack Mingcheng, and the result was unexpectedly successful, her daughter not only rescued Helan Yi, but also changed Cangnan Kingdom, which Yinlan had been operating for twenty years, into Cangnan County, Helan Yi never meant to invade Cangnan Kingdom, it was all Yinlan's own doing, now, He was also reduced to a prisoner. ”
"You destroyed the Cangnan Kingdom?" Zhao Guofang's face was even more pale, if it weren't for his wife and daughter supporting him left and right, I am afraid that his legs would have fallen down early in the morning.
"The destruction of Cangnan is related to Yu Ling." Jin Lihua comforted in a low voice, "I didn't tell you the truth, I was afraid that your condition would worsen, after all, it is not easy for a woman to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will be stimulated, I only said that Cangnan Kingdom was destroyed by Helan." He smiled lightly, "It's going to embarrass us now, Yu Ling, your talented queen mother has long known that you can govern the country and secure the country, if it weren't for your father's insistence on going his own way all these years, the queen mother would have told him that you are his biological daughter, let him train you to become the crown daughter of Zhao State, and now in this situation, your father and emperor will bear most of the responsibility, but, think about it, the father and the queen mother are reluctant to let you go back to Tiancheng, such a wild place, how can we let you suffer." ”
"Your queen mother is right." Zhao Guofang nodded, "Father wants to compensate you well, that Helan Yi is really in love with you, he should be the one who should give in, and he will not be wronged when he comes to our Zhao State as a concubine." ”
"The men of the Great Plains Kingdom are all people who keep their promises, he promised his dead father and emperor first, and used his life's strength to protect the Great Plains Kingdom, he will definitely not give up his promise for me, father and queen mother, even if I have the talent to govern the country and the country, I am just a woman, I can get your wholehearted love, I am satisfied, I can't be by your side is a daughter is unfilial, please fulfill me, let me go back to Heavenly City, it has been more than a month, his heart must be very anxious."
"No, I must not let my daughter suffer again." Zhao Guofang shook his head again and again, "I used to let you go and kiss, that was the stupidest thing I thought in my life, Dayuan Country is full of desolation, unlike in the palace of Zhao Kingdom, you can enjoy brocade clothes and food, I don't agree." ”
Seeing that he was so resolute, Yu Ling's heart sank, and he didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him, it seemed that she really couldn't just leave, but she had to go, she missed him, and her heart was about to burst.
"Father, the younger brother in the mother's womb is the real eldest grandson of the Zhao family, you are in the prime of life, after your body and bones are recuperated and healed, you can still deal with national affairs, and the throne should be passed on to the unborn younger brother."
"What if it's my sister?" Jin Lihua pursed her lips and smiled, her daughter was raised by her, she had already seen that Yu Ling had to go, although she couldn't keep her, but she couldn't let her leave so easily.
"Queen Mother, you are pregnant with a child, if you leave your father now, I don't know how your father and you feel?" Yu Ling walked up to her, knelt down respectfully, raised his head, and asked with a straight face.
Jin Lihua chuckled in her heart and asked, "Are you pregnant?" ”
