Qian Jin closed his eyes and vividly remembered the scene of the palace change five years ago, the sergeants of different colors and costumes were entangled in the palace of Xiyan, and the entire palace was filled with the smell of blood and charred human flesh of corpses. Gonggong Gao and several of the emperor's personal guards dragged himself, who was only fourteen years old, all the way to kill, and the palace maids scattered and fled, their ears full of screams and cries.

Qian Jin watched Qing'er, the palace maid of the Prince's Palace, who often served him lunch, being pierced through the chest with a sword from behind by the sergeant of the capital, and the blood gushed out of the mouth and fell into a pool of blood with his eyes wide open and without a sound, and there was also an unknown sergeant Xiyan whose head was cut off by a sword, and the head with blood hit the ground with a "bang", and then rolled at his feet mixed with mud and blood.

Almost all the Xiyan soldiers in the palace and the maids and eunuchs in the palace who did not know martial arts rushed to the soldiers wielding bloody machetes in confusion, just to buy more time for their prince to escape safely. Qian Jin felt that Gao Gonggong's clenched arm was bleeding, and there was an indescribable dampness in his palm.

The sound of broken porcelain, the sound of smashing wooden doors, the sound of footsteps, the sound of tearing clothes, the sound of sergeants' iron armor crashing, the sound of iron swords piercing into the human body and cutting bones, mixed with the wails of men, women and children, hovered above his forehead, and he inhaled heavily, and the heavy wheezing sound was clearly heard, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

In the palace, only the tern's mother, the willow duck, is surrounded by the most flowers and trees in the imperial city, and the low trees extend to a path to the west, and across a palace is the resting place of the harem maids, which is not far from the palace. In the last corridor, Gonggong Gao let go of Qianjin's hand, and his old eyes were full of tears.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go first, and I and a few guards will break off His Highness."

More than a dozen guards looked at each other, without saying a word, and instantly divided into two teams, the ten guards with lower martial arts consciously stayed to stand around Gonggong Gao, and the remaining seven guards stood beside Qianjin.

"Grandpa Gao!"

"Let's go!"

Qian Jin vaguely looked at the backs of those people who were getting farther and farther away, and Gao Gonggong didn't look back from beginning to end...... Passing through the Changhuan Palace, Qianjin saw the Liu Yang Guifei sitting in the center of the hall with neat makeup and unchanged face. Seeing the crown prince Liu Guifei stand up violently, strode towards Qianjin and hugged him in his arms.

"Prince, why are you here, hurry up!"

"Concubine Niangniang, come with me!"

Liu Yang used all his strength to push the prince into the arms of a tall guard, raised his hand and slapped off the crown of blonde hair on Qian Jin's head, and removed Qian Jin's yellow robe.

"The guards obey orders! Escort the prince out of the palace! ”

"Yes!" The guards bowed in unison, and were about to grab Qianjin.

Qian Jin grabbed the sleeve of the concubine fiercely, "Niangniang will go with me, Qianjin can't leave Niangniang!" ”

"Prince, this palace is the princess of Xiyan, and she lives and dies with Xiyan, and this palace will not leave."

"Prince, please go, Qingyue and the tern have already gone west, so let's go quickly."

Saying that, Liu Yang's eyes gradually dimmed, and he nodded resolutely to the guards who hugged Qianjin. The guard swung his sword and cut off the sleeve of Liu Yang's coat and dragged the struggling Qianjin to the apse.

"Concubine Niangniang!!"

"Take care of the terns and the moon-"

Liu Yang looked at the two maids beside him silently, "Bring the thousand crane robe that Your Majesty gave me, I hope Your Majesty can recognize me from a distance on this Huangquan Road." The willow duck, who had changed into a thousand crane robes, was still sitting in the main hall, listening to the sound of fighting in the distance. The two maids beside him stood motionless, and at this time, the Changhuan Hall was already full of flames, and the broken wooden beams were filled with black smoke.

Qian Jin, who fled to the palace, saw the black smoke above the Changhuan Palace, tears rushed out, a hoarse roar was held in his heart, and he grabbed a section of the sleeve of the Liu Yang Guifei in his hand. Liu Yang is not only a concubine in Qianjin's heart, but also as close as a mother. Xiyan Empress Liu Min is early in the morning, and Concubine Liu Yang has always cared for the prince Qianjin as her own, and often takes the prince to her palace to play with the tern and Qingyue.

The sound of arrows and feathers sounded around him, and several guards firmly protected Qianjin behind his body, and Qianjin saw several more emperor's guards fall down in the gap of the guard's body. The others just escorted Qianjin to escape, and they didn't look at their fallen companions. Only two guards escorted Qianjin through the palace, and as soon as he turned to the aisle, a group of sergeants in black and red military uniforms rushed over, and the huge red "Yan" character of the black military flag danced in the wind. Yan Hong's army has arrived! Saved!

In the arms of a heroic young man riding a black horse in the army, the small head of "Qingyue" poked out of the boy's cloak.

"Brother Huang!"

"Sunny Moon!"

Qian Jin hurriedly hid the fragments of Liu Yang's sleeves, and saw the two flags of "Liang" and "Dusk", and knew that this heroic young man should be a prince of Yan Hong. The young man was majestic, turned over and dismounted and hugged the "Qingyue" on the horse, "General Bai Lu, escort Prince Xiyan and the princess back to the camp." ”

Saying that, another one flew on the horse, "General Liang Rin, follow me to surround and kill!" The black horse neighed, and its front hooves were raised and ran along the aisle, and Liang Rin's team also rushed over.

"Sunny Moon? What's the matter with the injury on your arm. ”

"It's alright, Brother Huang."

Qianjin gently hugged the little "Qingyue" in his arms, and his distressed tears flowed. I only heard "Qingyue" whispering in his ear, "Brother Huang, shh- I'm a tern, Qingyue and I are separated." Qian Jin looked at the tern dressed as an ordinary little palace maid in front of him, and saw the face of the palace maid who was protecting the tern fleeing silently, and suddenly understood a little in his heart.

In the next few days, Qianjin's memory is very vague, and he only remembers the tern shivering in a cold sweat in his arms every night. Yan Hong's crown prince and General Liang Rin controlled the battle situation in the Xiyan Palace, and later General Ling Feiya of Xiyan came back to the aid and captured the culprits of the palace mutiny, Qicheng Wang Qianmo and Duan Zuo Imperial Princess, who had married Xiyan in the early years.

Later, Qianjin didn't let Tern know too much, how he cut off the title of the imperial uncle Qianmo who had been tortured and sentenced to death after he ascended the throne, how he cut off the head of Duan Zuo Imperial Concubine and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness, and how he demoted Duan Zuo's son, the third prince Qianmaoya, to the common people and exiled. All Chijin knows is to protect the tern and the two surviving little princesses.

Qian Jin didn't dare to tell the tern that he couldn't find the body of the tern's mother concubine Liu Yang in the ashes of the Changhuan Palace. I also tried to find the body of Gao Gonggong, but there was nothing, many of the corpses were broken or burned by fire. The only thing he can do is to build a temple on Baifeng Mountain outside the imperial city, and surpass the people who died in this palace change day and night.

At night, the tern's small body curled up in Qianjin's arms, frowning and muttering in her dreams, "Quickly put out the fire, mother, Qingyue ......." Qian Jin gently shook the tern in his arms and patted him on the back gently.

"Don't be afraid, there is a royal brother here."

The tern opened its hazy eyes and closed them again. "Brother Huang, Qingyue is still alive."

"I will definitely find the clear moon, and tomorrow I will announce it to the world and offer a reward for finding the clear moon."

"No, Brother Huang, if the bad guys know that Qingyue will be in danger, the younger brother can pretend to be Qingyue to cover people's eyes, and Brother Huang should save Qingyue as soon as possible."

Qian Jin stroked the tern's hair, there was an indescribable bitterness in his throat, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"I promised you that I would save Qingyue as soon as possible."

The tern fanned his long eyelashes and stared at Qianjin with a serious little face, "Brother Huang, are you crying?" ”

"The royal brother doesn't cry, the tern accompanies the royal brother." As he spoke, a pair of small hands held Qianjin's face and gently kissed Qianjin's forehead. Qian Jin hugged the tern and tightened his arms, buried the tern in his arms, and kissed the top of the tern's head.

Qian Jin opened his moist eyes and looked at the back of the tern who was now about the same height as himself, and a sour feeling welled up in his nose.

"Tern, promise me never to leave me, okay?"

The tern turned around and saw Qian Jin's red eyes, knowing that he remembered those things about the palace change again. comfortingly stroked Qianjin's long hair, revealing a sunny smile.

"I won't leave you."
