There are mountain bandits all year round in the Xizhou generation! And it is rampant. The court sent many troops to suppress the bandits, but they all ended up in vain.

So, this matter fell on Shen Ci! Meng Yuanchen ordered Shen Ci to lead the army to the west to suppress bandits! So Shen Ci was ordered to leave Beijing.

But in just half a month, bad news came that the army led by Shen Ci was ambushed and died of serious injuries! The news was rushed back to the capital for 800 miles, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked! Everyone didn't expect that such a young general who repelled the barbarians would die at the hands of the mountain bandits!

When Gu Yan got the news, she was immediately furious, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

When she woke up again, Meng Yuanchen was sitting next to her! I haven't seen him in recent months, and Gu Yan was deeply stunned. I don't know how long I guarded, but Meng Yuanchen's chin grew a little scum. Full of exhaustion!

Seeing her wake up, Meng Yuanchen smiled. It's so happy! Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder, was this really him? It turns out that a person's eyes can really do whatever he wants!

There is no agitation in the phenomenon. Meng Yuanchen looked at Gu Yan with a faint face, but the words he was about to say were stuck in his mouth!

"Yan Yan......" he said. Don't be sad! ”

"Let's go, I want to be alone!" Gu Yan spoke calmly, without holding back or saying too much. Just a faint sentence.

Meng Yuanchen was stunned, but Gu Yan obviously didn't want to say anything more to him, so she turned her face in and turned her back to him. Meng Yuanchen had to tuck it up for her, and took a deep look at her back and left!

After he left, Gu Yan turned around and looked at the empty room, and there was still a faint Long Yan fragrance on his body in the air. Gu Yan looked blankly at the direction he was leaving, and for the first time felt countless feelings of powerlessness coming to her.

Meng Yuanchen hasn't been here since that day, and the days seem to be back to the old way. Gu Yan is still staying in her palace as always, no matter how big or small things are none of her to do! Even she thought that this life would be like this, until a letter she received that night! Gu Yan ran to the Qianqing Palace like crazy. Along the way, the palace guards wanted to stop her, but Gu Yan drew her knife fiercely, forcing the palace people to be at a loss. thus forced all the way to the Qianqing Palace.

Meng Yuanchen was dealing with the folds at this time, but he heard a noisy sound outside the door, and was about to speak, but saw that they were suddenly pushed away, and then saw the red-eyed Gu Yan walking in with a knife!

Meng Yuanchen was stunned! Look at her incredulously and incomprehensibly. The palace people who came later wanted to escort them, but they were stopped by Meng Yuanchen. Wave them out.

When there were only two people left in the temple. Meng Yuanchen walked down and walked towards Gu Yan step by step! When she was about to approach Gu Yan, she saw her raise the knife in her hand and point at Meng Yuanchen! "Don't come here!" Gu Yan said loudly.

"Yan Yan?" Meng Yuanchen stopped and looked at her with a gentle face!

"Isn't it you?" Gu Yan stared at him with red eyes!

"What does Yan Yan want to ask? Put the knife down! Meng Yuanchen took a step forward and stretched out his hand to the knife. was scolded by Gu Yan taking a step back: "I told you not to come!" ”

Meng Yuanchen looked at her for a moment and suddenly laughed. He put down his hand and stood still, but his eyes looked at Gu Yan and said in a gentle tone, "Yan Yan, put the knife down, don't hurt yourself!" Just ask whatever you want! ”

Gu Yan looked at him and his hands trembled a little, and asked in a trembling voice, "Shen Ci!" Did you kill it? ”

Meng Yuanchen was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Gu Yan to ask him this! He looked at Gu Yan's sad expression and Xingshi's expression of asking guilt, and somehow he was a little frustrated. "Why did Yan Yan ask that?"

"Answer me!" Gu Yan shouted again!

Meng Yuanchen looked at her and suddenly fell silent! He had never seen Gu Yan like this. Is he sad for Shen Ci? Shen Ci, Shen Ci! Sure enough, even if you die, Yan Yan still can't forget you!

Gu Yan thought he had acquiesced, "Is it really you?" Gu Yan's hands trembled more and more! She looked at Meng Yuanchen in disbelief. "Why! Why did you kill him? Why do you want to admit it? Why did you tell me! She suddenly rushed up and put her sword around his neck!

Meng Yuanchen looked at the sword around his neck and Gu Yan with a red face in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly felt like a place was empty! Why, one day, they will face each other with swords?

Gu Yan was also stunned! What's wrong with them, how can the good ones become like this? She received a letter saying that the ambush encountered by Shen Ci's army was an ambush sent by someone else! The purpose is to assassinate Shen Ci! And this person is the current saint Meng Yuanchen! Those who ambushed were actually Ouchi's masters! That's why Shen Ci was ambushed!

Gu Yan didn't believe it at first, so she quietly went to ask Shen Ci's cronies! Who knew that the man said that the people who were in ambush at that time used all the martial arts of Ouchi! In the whole world, except for the inner guards, who else has this ability besides Meng Yuanchen? So she panicked, she ran to ask Meng Yuanchen like crazy! She wanted to ask him personally. Even if he says it's not, she believes him! But.

"Because he's still obsessed with you! Because of his high merit, he shook the Lord! Because he's challenging my authority! So, I had to get rid of him! Meng Yuanchen suddenly said fiercely!

Gu Yan was stunned! He confessed? How can he, how can he? Gu Yan's eyes were full of pain! "Meng Yuanchen! Are you really that ruthless? ”

"Yes!" He replied crisply.

Gu Yan dropped her sword and suddenly burst out laughing! The smile is so sad! Looking at the person in front of her, this is the person she loves? At this moment, he has long become cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is unrecognizable. "Meng Yuanchen! I really misread you! You've let me down so much. Gu Yan said word by word to him with teary eyes! I never want to see you again! ”

Meng Yuanchen was stunned! Looking at Gu Yan's resolute appearance, she tightened her fists in her sleeves, looked at her and said word by word, "Okay!" Remember what you said today. In this life, you and I will not see each other even if we are separated by a palace wall! ”

Gu Yan inadvertently stepped back! Look at his calm face. Gu Yan wiped away the tears on her face, and then said a word to him with a smile

"Good!"

"Let's go!" Meng Yuanchen turned around!

Gu Yan staggered away. Until Gu Yan left, Meng Yuanchen kept standing like this. After a long, long time, he let go of the hands he was holding. But I saw that the ten fingers were already bloodstained!

Subsequently, Meng Yuanchen decreed that Gu Yan would break into the palace with a knife, and be confined to Chenxi Palace for eternity, and he would not be allowed to leave the palace without a will!

Since then, Gu Yan has never stepped out of the palace gate. But that's exactly what she meant! Spring goes to autumn, and there are batches of newcomers and old people in the palace, and he still spoils Gu Yun as always. As Meng Yuanchen said, they have never seen each other again. Except for some old people in the current palace, few people in the palace know about Gu Yan's existence, and even if they do, they only think that she is a person who is disgusted by the emperor. Naturally, no one ever bothered her.

In the thirtieth year of Emperor Yuan, Pei Guohou was imprisoned on suspicion of embezzlement of military salaries. In the end, the whole door was slashed! Queen Pei Nianhui was bedridden because she couldn't stand the blow, and she died in less than a month!

These Gu Yan have also heard the palace people who clean it! But every time I laughed it off. For so many years, everything in this palace has nothing to do with her!

Gu Yan is fifty-four years old this year, and I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, Gu Yan often dreams about the days when she was in the palace before. Although they were imprisoned, it was their happiest day!

And this dream always wakes up in the middle of the night, and it is difficult to fall asleep! I stroked the jade pendant in my hand! She had nothing but that......

When Gu Yan woke up, it was already the second day! Dye Dong was by her side. Gu Yan seemed to have dreamed of something! Suddenly woke up from a dream and found himself lying in bed. shouted at Meng Yuanchen in his mouth! Then she found Dye Dong on the side, and she suddenly seemed to remember something! hurriedly got out of bed and wanted to find him, but was stopped by Dye Dong!

"Master! You forgot? You can't get out! Dye Dong cried and knelt on the ground, hugging Gu Yan to death!

After struggling for a long time, Gu Yan sat on the bed weakly, looking ahead with empty eyes.

Dye Dong felt distressed when he saw her like that, but he couldn't find any words to comfort her. After a long time, Gu Yan cried in her throat. It's been twenty-eight years, and Gu Yan has never cried since the day she was grounded, but she cries today!

At night, Chenxi Palace ushered in a person - Gu Yun!

This was the first time Gu Yan saw her since the day she entered the palace. When Gu Yun came, Gu Yanmu sat by the window and looked at Meng Yuanchen's side. She sat there for a day.

Looking at Gu Yan in front of her, Gu Yun's eyes were a little complicated! It's two sisters, but they're not even as good as a stranger.

"You...... Are you okay? Gu Yun said.

Gu Yan didn't speak, and she didn't pay attention to her.

Gu Yun sighed, walked to her side, and stuffed the stove in his hand into her hand, "You are like this, he should be distressed again!" ”

Gu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly!

"He really loves you! has protected you for so many years, if he knew what you looked like, he would be very distressed! Gu Yun looked at her sister, who was eight points similar to her in front of her, and remembered that the emperor was a little bitter when he looked at himself as if he were looking at others!

"You don't know yet! I have only come to keep you safe and sound in the palace. Gu Yan still didn't look at her. But she said again, "Don't you notice that since I came, everyone's attention has been on me?" Why do you think no one has been bothering you all these years? Because they don't waste their time on someone who isn't a threat! The emperor wants to keep you safe, so naturally someone has to block the jealousy of everyone in this palace for you! ”

Gu Yan slowly looked up at her? It seems that she wants to see the truth in her eyes. Gu Yun shook his head and smiled, "Why do you think he spoils me so much?" In addition to hiding people's eyes and ears, it's also because I look very similar to you! Every time he came to me, he would stare at me for a long time, and I knew that he was just looking at you through me! ”

"You lied to me, how could it be!" Gu Yan said in a hoarse voice. She still didn't want to believe it! He must have hated her so much. How could you miss her?

"Yes, how can you believe it? Gu Yan, there is one more thing I want to tell you! Shen Ci was not killed by the emperor back then! Gu Yun said suddenly.

"What did you say?"

"Back then, Pei Guohou was in power, and he knew that once Shen Ci came back victorious, it would be his biggest obstacle at that time! So he ordered someone to pretend to be a master of Ouchi! In fact, with Shen Ci's skills, even if he can't win, he still has the ability to escape, but it's a pity that there are ghosts around him! Gu Yun said.

"Inner ghost?" Gu Yan was dazed, and then reacted, "You mean, his cronies?" ”

Gu Yun nodded, "Yes, he poisoned Shen Ci's wine, so Shen Ci will die!" And your so-called letter is just a messenger from the queen, the purpose of which is to want you to break with the emperor, so that she can reap the benefits. At that time, the emperor knew that if he didn't alienate you, then you would never have peace, so he could only issue an order to ground you! No, even you believe it, and those people will naturally believe it! ”

"You mean, I've been wrong about him all these years?" Hearing this, Gu Yan's voice trembled. Tears fell suddenly. "But how do you know that?"

Over the years, he often used alcohol to numb himself. Drunk pulled me and said it. I know, he'd love to explain it to you. Until the last moment, he still minded that you hated him! Gu Yun's voice was a little choked. looked at her with some envy, "Gu Yan, he really loves you miserably, even when he was to me before!" ”

"Huh...... Hehehe......" She burst out laughing! Gu Yun's every word was like a knife slashing at himself. "Meng Yuanchen, are you punishing me? Are you going to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life? Gu Yan hid her face and cried. You're so stupid, really stupid, why don't you explain ......"

Gu Yun looked at Gu Yan, who couldn't cry, and took out a letter in his sleeve! "This is a letter he left for you, look at it! It's time for me to go, too. You...... Take care"

With that, he put the letter in her hand and left.

The cold wind blows on your face like a knife! Gu Yan opened the letter. After a while, the tears flowed unstoppably like a flood that burst the embankment!

She sat down on the floor and put the letter on her face as he had touched hers! "Fool! I forgave you, I've forgiven you a long time ago, but I don't know it myself! Meng Yuanchen! How can you bear to leave me alone......"

After a long time, Gu Yan stopped crying, she walked to the dresser and took out the half jade pendant. Then he returned to his bed, vaguely, she seemed to have returned to the days of the palace, he still called her Yanyan, and secretly ran out with himself, and he would wait for him to come home. Then walk together for a sunset stroll......

"Meng Yuanchen, I like you...... I like it very much......" After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, and the hand holding the jade pendant gradually let go......

The sky will dawn, slightly white. Dye Dong called his master, but he didn't answer for a long time. Pushing the door in, I saw my master lying on the bed with a slight smile.

Seeing that his master didn't cover the quilt, Dye Dong sighed and gently pulled the quilt. But I was stunned when I touched it! The master's body was extremely stiff. Dye Dong trembled and probed Gu Yan's snort, shocked! It's silent......

Then, there were cries from Chenxi Palace and Fanghua Palace...... Both houses have passed away!

The winter of the thirtieth year of Emperor Jingguo Yuan. Emperor Meng Yuanchen died. Before his death, he canonized the sixth princess Gu Yan as his successor. In the same month, the concubine Gu Yun and her successor Gu Yan were martyred one after another. And then buried with Emperor Yuan! The whole country mourned.
