Chapter 280: Compromise

The Jingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the person who spoke at the beginning hurriedly said, "Get out of the way!" Send the eldest princess back to Surabaya immediately. ”

The Jingwei immediately received the order, and they scattered to the side, quickly making an empty way for Sihan.

Sihan didn't say a word, lowered his eyes slightly, and began to walk forward slowly.

Along the way, hundreds of Jingwei followed behind him, and the sound of long and messy footsteps hit the eardrums repeatedly, depressing heavily.

Sihan's back was straight, and all the hands in his sleeve robe were clenched into fists, and a strong anger spread completely across his limbs.

After arriving at Surabaya House, the Jingwei finally let Xu Guichun's family go, and then they retreated and discharged from the hospital, but they never left, only surrounded the entire Surabaya House in a very small motion, so as to strictly defend it, and not even a mosquito could fly in.

Sihan stood frozen in the courtyard, his eyes were cold and angry.

Xu Guichun and a few people collapsed on the ground, and after resting for a while, they had a little strength to crawl up and sit up, and Xu Guichun began to be sad, tears flowed down his face, and his eyes were already red and swollen.

"The eldest princess, it's all a people's girl's family and the eldest princess......"

She was full of guilt and spoke sadly.

However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Sihan's deep and distant voice, "It has nothing to do with you." That person, what he wants to calculate is this palace, even if there is no you, he will not let this palace get out of this palace wall. ”

As soon as these words fell, my heart was full of anger, but it was complicated and dark, and I felt that everything had completely changed, and the person had also changed. If one day he could fall into her hands, she would not be merciful and spare his life.

The night is silent, and the cold wind is aventurine.

Sihan stood stiff in the courtyard for a long time before he came back to his senses, and after learning that Xu Guichun and a few people would enter the side hall to rest, he immediately said no more and turned around and entered the main hall.

In the hall, the candles were bright, and even the incense that had been extinguished in the corner of the wall was lit at some point.

When he raised his eyes a little and swept around, he saw that there was a brocade box on the round table not far away.

Sihan raised the corner of his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, and when he slowly walked to the round table, his fingertips moved slightly, and he opened the brocade box that suddenly appeared, and saw that inside the brocade box was a slightly familiar phoenix crown.

Yes, phoenix crown.

The phoenix on the phoenix crown is lifelike, delicate and elegant, if she recognizes it well, this phoenix crown is like the one given by the old woman who went out with Dong Lincang last time and in the depths of the plum blossom forest, and she also wore it last time to attend the birthday banquet of the king of Chu.

It's just that the phoenix crown has obviously fallen in the palace of the king of Chu and has long been missing, why did this phoenix crown suddenly appear in her dormitory intact?

His thoughts flipped over, doubts gradually rose, Sihan's expression was cold and complicated, and when he raised his hand slightly, his fingertips rubbed slightly on the phoenix crown, only to feel, the touch was cold, and even cold to the bones, inexplicably, he made himself shiver.

The night was cold and thin, and the surroundings were silent. In the four directions, there is no sound, as if everything has completely stopped.

Sihan never extinguished the candle flame in the hall, but just lay on his back on the couch in his clothes, his heart was cold and heavy, and he didn't sleep all night.

The next day, the days passed as before, but the plum trees in the courtyard all collapsed, and the new mud turned over, and there was a sense of decadence and messiness in the eyes.

Xu was too frightened last night, and he caught a cold outside, Xu Guichun's son was sick and had a high fever. The little face is abnormally red, and it is really distressing to watch.

After the palace slave sent breakfast, he had turned around and invited the imperial doctor to come over, and at noon, Xu Guichun's son finally had a fever, and when the palace slave sent lunch to Sihan's house again, he saw the breakfast sent this morning on the round table, and Sihan didn't move.

The palace slaves were stunned and looked at Sihan in amazement.

On the soft couch, Sihan sat indifferently reclining, holding a book for recreation in his hand at random, and said without raising his head: "This palace, I want to see your emperor." ”

The palace slaves frowned slightly, their faces full of embarrassment, but they still responded respectfully.

It's just that when the hour passed, and dusk had arrived in the blink of an eye, the man still hadn't appeared, and the palace slave had never come to report anything about that person.

Sihan's heart became colder and colder, and when the palace slaves brought dinner again, she still didn't move.

For a whole day, not a drop of water entered, if you say that you are not hungry, it is naturally impossible. It's just that this time she is subject to this palace, and the hard method is not available, so she Yan Sihan naturally has to be a little soft.

The person deliberately avoided it, she didn't know the reason, but she had to say that her time was urgent, and Tanglin urgently needed her to go back to preside over the overall situation, yes, she couldn't wait!

Even if the days of this palace are safe, she is worried, and she can't stay. This time, she undoubtedly wanted to force the person to force that person with her actions once, forcing him to be willing and take the initiative to send her back to Tanglin. If not, this time like a trapped beast, she Yan Sihan will die, and she will stay for a long time, not reluctantly, and will not give in.

Seeing that Sihan began to go on a hunger strike, did not use three meals, and sat motionless on the soft couch all day, the palace slaves finally panicked, and then after several people began to discuss, they began to go out of the courtyard gate to tell the dense layers of Jingwei outside the courtyard.

In the night, Xu Guichun's son has improved a lot, and he finally came out free, and heard that the palace slaves outside the palace were anxiously discussing, and he was stunned a little in his heart, and then he was about to get up and go out of the palace, the old woman and the old man Wang seemed to know her intentions, the two sighed, and said: "Guichun, let's go together." Compensation"

Xu Guichun was stunned.

The old woman continued: "I see that the eldest princess is not a good person to persuade her. She hasn't gone into a drop of water today, and she's not good for her body, this time we're all over, if you can't persuade the eldest princess, my father and I will also persuade you. The eldest princess was very kind to our family, and tonight she knelt on the ground and begged, and also asked her to drink water and eat. ”

Xu Guichun's expression moved slightly, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and when a few people came out of the hall, the Jingwei outside the courtyard was also frowning, and quickly disappeared at the end of the light worriedly.

At this time, the imperial study is brightly lit.

Because the situation of the Great Zhou and Tanglin Kingdom has become more and more severe in the past few days, the war is imminent, so it is this night, and many ministers and generals are still gathered in the imperial study to discuss major matters, and even in the midst of tension, the palace slaves have not even been able to send in the night meal.

Outside the imperial study, the elite soldiers are displayed, cautious and vigilant, it is a major matter related to the military aircraft, and it is to dare not relax on guard, even the roof of the imperial study house, there are also a lot of fine guards, and martial law is imposed on all sides.

The black-robed Fu ghost stood quietly outside the imperial study, his shrewd and cold eyes swept in all directions, his expression was cold and vicious, and he was on guard.

Soon, seeing an elite soldier coming quickly, his pupils shrank, his face moved slightly, and then he took the initiative to step towards the elite soldier without waiting for the person to approach.

"How did you get here?"

Fu Ghost's thin lips opened, and he was the first to speak.

Jingwei was full of worries, nervously and respectfully lowered his head and clenched his fists towards the Fu ghost, and said respectfully: "Commander Fu, Surabaya is in Youyang." The eldest princess of Tanglin has not eaten for a day. The subordinates didn't know how to deal with it, so they came over to report. ”

Fu Ghost's pupils shrank, "Haven't eaten for a day?" ”

Jingwei nodded, "There is indeed a day when the eldest princess of Tanglin wastes all three meals. She is not in good health, and if she drags it down without dripping water this time, she may be in danger. ”

Fu Guisen's cold pupils suddenly became complicated, and even on the face of the scar, his expression was also tight, and he was a little uncontrollable heaviness.

After a moment of silence, he said in a low and gloomy voice, "I already know about this. When the emperor finishes the discussion, I will report. You go back and guard it first, and be sure to watch the eldest princess of Tanglin closely. If the eldest princess of Tanglin disappears without a trace at this moment, you should know the consequences. ”

"My subordinates know."

Jingwei hurriedly spoke, said respectfully, and as soon as the end fell, he said goodbye to the ghost and left.

Fu Gui's brows furrowed, and Mori's cool gaze quietly locked on Na Jingwei's back, his expression fluctuated, and it was not until Na Jingwei walked away that he turned around and approached the eaves outside the imperial study, and stood quietly again.

The hours passed, and the night grew silently.

When the night breeze was cold around him, and the sound of beating was also beating, in the imperial study behind him, there was finally a slightly messy and complicated footsteps.

Fu Ghost turned his head slightly, and the door of the imperial study not far behind him happened to open from the inside.

Several civil servants and generals dragged out of the palace door one by one with slightly stiff steps.

Fu Ghost's expression moved slightly, and he instructed Jingwei around him, "Quickly lead all the adults down to eat first, and then arrange for the adults to stay in the palace, so as not to have another urgent edict from the emperor, and invite all the adults to come over and discuss in time." ”

Several ministers were slightly stunned, and before they could react, Jingwei stepped forward to invite them.

Fu Ghost did not delay, just quickly glanced at them, and then quickly entered the hall, and when he stood next to the person who was covered in bright yellow on the main seat, he hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully and resolutely: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong over there in Surabaya." ”

"What?"

The bright yellow man's eyes were slightly tired, and his voice was a little tired and hoarse. Then his fingertips moved slightly, slightly uncovering the jade face on his face, and rubbing his swollen and painful temples with his fingertips, and his handsome face was as handsome as jade, and then his thin lips opened, and he said hoarsely and gently again: "What happened to her again?" ”

Fu Ghost frowned, and said respectfully: "Since I forced the eldest princess back from the Crescent Moon Hall last night, since this morning, the eldest princess has not had to eat. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hand of the bright yellow man rubbing his temples stiffened slightly, but it was only for a moment, and he rubbed it again.

"Let Gong Nu relax the pastries and send them over on time and three meals a day." It was only a moment before he spoke out calmly.

Fu Ghost was slightly stunned, and his face was a little heavy, "The eldest princess Xu is really going on a hunger strike, if the emperor still doesn't come forward, Xu is eldest princess's hatred for the emperor will become deeper and deeper." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, and his tone became more and more thick and admonished, "The eldest princess should also be a reasonable person, some things are not good if they drag on for a long time, if the emperor really cares about the eldest princess, he can talk to the eldest princess clearly." If the eldest princess is trapped in the palace, the eldest princess may be more and more annoyed with the emperor. ”

Lan Yeyu didn't speak, as if he didn't realize it.

The atmosphere around him was silent and cold.

After waiting for a while, he slightly let go of the hand rubbing his temples, raised his eyes to look at the ghost, a pair of deep but silent pupils quietly stared at the ghost, "She's just forcing me, she won't take a real hunger strike and make such a joke about her life." If not, she is not the Yan Sihan I know. Moreover, there are some things, it's not that I don't say it, but that the time has not yet come, and when this period of time is over, I will naturally go to see her. ”

"Does the emperor still want to keep the eldest princess in the palace? According to the nature of the eldest princess, Xu is to think of returning to Tanglin no matter what. ”

"She can't go back yet. Tanglin and the Great Zhou are about to go to war, and Tanglin is about to retreat in order to prevent defeat, and intends to order Tanglin to meet the Great Zhou together. At this time, the Tanglin has Zhanwen Wing and the national teacher sitting in the town, strictly guarding and sticking, and will not be ordered by the Tanglin to participate in the dispute between the Great Zhou and the Tanglin. But if she goes back, or is robbed by the people of Tanglin on the way back to China, according to Zhan Wenyi's devotion to her, and the national teacher's pampering heart, the two of them will be in chaos, so that Tanglin will eventually become a sharp knife for Tanglin to deal with my Great Zhou, and the country will not be protected. ”

The long and distant words fell into my ears one by one.

Fu Ghost understood this time, his expression moved slightly, and he asked in a low and respectful voice: "The emperor intends to control the eldest princess in Chujing, in order to protect the eldest princess and keep Tangling?" ”

The corners of the bright yellow man's eyes were slightly raised, and his jade-like face was handsome and graceful, but even so, his deep pupils were a little tiredness that could not be concealed, and then he even hooked his thin lips, and smiled distantly, "For, selfish." ”

He spoke out in a distant and indifferent voice, his voice was hoarse, but soft.

At this time, the Surabaya residence is still silent and depressing.

No matter how Xu Guichun's family persuaded and prayed, Sihan was indifferent, did not eat, and had a firm and persistent attitude, no matter how hard Xu Guichun's family tried, they could not change the meaning of her heart.

After a long time, Xu Guichun and the others finally gave up, and they had no choice but to leave the palace, but their anxiety was entrenched in their hearts, and they couldn't really dismiss it.

The next day's meal, Sihan still didn't touch it at all, and he didn't eat a drop of water.

Her body and bones had not fully healed, and she had not eaten one after another, her face was slightly pale, and her lips were chapped, which made the palace slaves nervous and unbearable, and even frightened, for fear that this living ancestor would suddenly be fragile, and even starve to death.

At dusk, the sky was slightly dark, and Sihan had no strength to sit, so he had to lie on the soft couch at will, feeling weak.

The new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been discussing important matters with his ministers all day long, and at dusk, he began to go out of the city to order troops.

After everything was finished, he returned at night, but as soon as he entered the palace gate, he suddenly remembered something, turned his eyes to the ghost behind him and said, "Send someone to inquire and see if she has eaten today." ”

As soon as these words fell, he didn't look at the ghost's reaction, and walked straight towards the imperial study, and when he had just sat down on the dragon chair on the main seat, the ghost entered the palace and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has not eaten today. ”

A short sentence is inexplicably harsh.

His brows finally furrowed slightly, his pupils were also complex and undulating, distant and majestic, and after a moment of silence, he slowly got up, "Go to Surabaya House." ”

Fu Ghost was silent, and he was not half surprised.

He just stared at the back of the bright yellow man and asked respectfully: "The emperor has just returned to the palace, can he go to Surabaya after dinner?" ”

"Not necessarily." The short word is still an expected reply.

Fu Ghost's face was also slightly relieved, and he didn't say anything anymore, just after following the Ming Huang people out, he turned his eyes to the palace slave who came behind him and said, "Quickly go to the imperial dining room and send some light meals to Surabaya Residence." The emperor wants to dine with the eldest princess of Tanglin in Surabaya. ”

The sky was pitch black, like a pitch-black abyss, as if it was about to suck all the people into it.

Around, the lights are up, the light is heavy, and everywhere you see it, there is a scene of extravagance.

There was a hazy light and fire, hitting the distant glazed tiles outside the window, faintly reflecting the bright light. In addition, the cold wind came along the carved window, and kept shaking the flame of the candlestick on the table, and when the flame jumped wantonly, the light and shadow in the hall also moved in unison, and there was a sense of silence and depth for no reason.

Sihan was stiff and weak, and this time he couldn't sit still at all, and the whole person was just lying on the soft couch, his eyes locked on the open window, staring wantonly.

Such a depressed state is not what she likes, just because she Yan Sihan has never had such a decadent time in her life, that is, she was on the verge of national collapse that day, and she has never compromised and decadent, but now, trapped in this palace, thousands of miles home, this sense of hopelessness is undoubtedly eating away at the ambition and tenacity in her heart little by little.

Xu had not eaten for two days, and his body was already unbearable, so the pain in his heart was much more abrupt and heavy than the previous two days, and even the wound on his shoulder had not been changed for several days, and the hideous flesh and blood were so dragged and consumed, even if he raised his hand slightly, he would feel the pain of the shoulder wound.

Xu Guichun and the others were already in a hurry, and every half a moment, they would enter the palace to visit her and persuade her.

Yesterday, she would have said a few words, but today, she undoubtedly didn't want to say a word. It's just a clichΓ© of persuasion and topics, and it seems meaningless if you don't reply, and even the persistence and gambling that can't be wiped out can't be satisfied.

Yes, big bets.

At this time, she Yan Sihan was using this life, vowing to force that person to show up, and even force him to send someone to escort her back to Tanglin. If not, if that person has ill intentions towards her, or even towards Tanglin, she Yan Sihan will be dejected to death, and she will definitely not become a sharp chess piece in his palm.

At this point, the depressed and weak body seemed to be a little stronger every time, but when the time came, the strength was completely dissipated by this silent day again.

The night is as thick as ink. Around, silent, leaving the cold wind outside the hall floating, whistling, as if to blow the glazed tiles on the top of the main hall overturned.

Sihan's eyes closed slightly, and his body was thin and weak.

But I thought that today was another empty wait, but unexpectedly, in such a silent atmosphere, suddenly, a series of footsteps came from afar.
