Emperor Yuan Xiu watched as if he was watching the excitement as if he was watching from the side, and walked in front of him all the way. He was almost on the verge of walking straight to his throne, which was a loss of honor.

Only then did Bald Tujia stop and salute the Son of Heaven not very skillfully. He said: "Rouran Khan, the prince of Shuofang County, the prince of Ana, the prince of the county, came to see the Lord." ”

After worshipping and finishing, Bald Tujia immediately stood up and looked up at Emperor Yuan Xiu sitting on it. Yuwentai stood on the side and didn't say anything, he also watched coldly, his attention was on Emperor Yuan Xiu. And the reflection of Emperor Yuan Xiu is very interesting.

"Come here, come to Lone." Yuan Xiu made a gesture to Bald Tujia.

At this time, the main hall of the east hall was also lit, and the sky was not so dark, so everything could be seen clearly.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, why should I not dare if you let me come? Immediately he stepped forward. The distance between him and the emperor was almost clothed and footed. Because the distance was too close, Yuan Xiu wanted to look up at him, which was very awkward, so he simply stood up.

Seeing that Yuan Xiuyi stood up and was taller than himself, strong and majestic, he had the style of a martial artist, and his heart was immediately convinced. There was a light reflected on his cheeks, and he could clearly see that this Great Wei Heavenly Son was heroic, and blurted out a sigh, "Sure enough, it's the Son of Heaven, and the true Heavenly God." ”

Yuwentai still didn't move, just stood in place, looking at Emperor Yuan Xiu in the dim light shadow.

Yuan Xiu suddenly burst out laughing, and even turned around and laughed for a while.

Both Bald Tujia and Yuwentai looked at him. Bald Tujia didn't know why Bai Zi was smiling, and Yu Wentai was like a mirror and didn't know what he was going to do.

Yuan Xiu smiled and turned around again, hearing Bald Tujia speak so openly, he suddenly felt that his heart was also a lot happier, he liked this ignorant boy a little. Seeing that he also has heavy eyebrows and big eyes, his eye sockets are sunken, his nose and lips are plump, he is not the appearance of a Central Plains person at all, and he feels a little curious in his heart. While asking with a smile, "You went to Chang'an to meet you, thousands of miles away, there must be something to see Lonely?" He didn't believe that this boy's mission was to meet him on behalf of his father, Shuofang County, to show his gentle attitude.

Hearing the emperor's question, Bald Tujia immediately replied loudly, "Shuofang County congratulates the Son of Heaven on the joy of moving the capital, Father Khan presided over the sorcerer festival to ask the god of all things to protect the Great Wei Sheji, and the special minister Bald Tujia met to show his loyalty to the Lord. "Bald Tujia's voice is loud, almost endless, and he speaks Chinese extremely fluently, and when I hear it, I have recited these words many times in my heart." Rouran has been preserved by the grace of the first emperor of the Great Wei several times, and the public of Shuofang County is willing to lead the Rouran Department to protect the stability of the northern border, and help the son of heaven to protect the society Jiyong as the minister of the Great Wei. ”

Although they are all high-sounding words, and the words "Khan's father" don't sound very pleasant, after all, the Khan of Anagui is self-proclaimed, not a gift from the **** Shangguo, but Bald Tujia expresses the meaning quite clearly, Rouran is willing to be a minister to the Great Wei, and is a minister to the capital Chang'an, the Great Wei Emperor, Yuan Xiu, which is very important today. Only when the north and south are stable and willing to help can it be possible to destroy another Yuan Wei in Luoyang.

Who knew that Yuan Xiu hadn't spoken yet, and Bald Tujia continued to amplify his voice and said loudly, "Rouran is willing to marry Da Wei, and the minister is specially to send the princess to Chang'an to marry the lord." I heard that the lord still lacks the queen of the middle palace, isn't it the will of heaven? ”

This bald Tujia's words were greatly beyond Yuan Xiu's expectations. Not to mention the condescension in the tone, even if it is really Rou Ran's willingness to marry the princess, he must be willing to marry the emperor of Dawei, where can he send it so recklessly without knowing in advance?

Yuan Xiu ignored Bald Tujia and stared at Yuwentai.

Yuwentai didn't wait for the emperor to ask a question, then stepped forward and said calmly, "Harmony is a good thing for the community, the prince is right, please marry Princess Rouran as the queen, to show the kindness of the Son of Heaven to Rouran." ”

As if he didn't understand anything, he looked at Emperor Yuan Xiu, who was standing in his place.

Yuan Xiu didn't speak, he walked away, he passed by Yuwentai, and then Yuwentai suddenly understood that he was walking towards the door of the main hall.

"Lord!" Yu Wentai blurted out.

Yuan Xiu stopped but didn't turn around when he heard the sound, and asked lightly, "Is it the prime minister who wants to marry Princess Rouran?" If Lone remembers correctly, the prime minister is still the captain of the Great Wei, and the wife of the eldest sister and the eldest princess, is the prime minister going to divorce his wife and remarry? Yuan Xiu really didn't seem to understand what was going on, "I can't listen to this kind of thing." ”

"It is true that a minister has a wife and children, but the lord has neither a wife nor a child." Yuwentai's sound is like a golden stone.

"The prime minister is wrong again, Lone also has a wife and children, but his wife is mourned...... Yuan Xiu said, turning around and staring straight at Yuwentai, it seems that Yuwentai is the culprit of his wife's death.

At this time, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, and Yuan Xiu's words were interrupted. Immediately afterwards, I heard a woman's voice, "Zhaoyi lady! Your Highness! The voice grew softer and farther away.

Yuan Xiu frowned.

"Lone has already decided to make Zuo Zhaoyi the queen, as for the princess of Rouran, since the prime minister said that it is for the sake of Sheji, please ask the prime minister to marry." Yuan Xiu no longer hesitated and strode outside, he hurried to the Qinghui Palace, and remembered it very much in his heart.

"Lord!" Who knew that this time before Yu Wentai could speak, Bald Tujia suddenly caught up with three steps and two steps, and actually grabbed Yuan Xiu's big sleeve.

Yuan Xiu had to stop and turn around, and said coldly, "Shizi, you are so disrespectful!" ”

Bald Tujia said loudly without showing weakness, "Princess Rouran is the most beautiful woman on the grassland, and the dedication of Shuofang County's own daughter to His Majesty is enough to show his sincerity, His Majesty is so disgusted that he refuses to marry, where does Rouran's face exist?" has become a laughing stock, how can I gain a foothold in Chang'an? The minister only asked His Majesty one sentence, whether Your Majesty will marry or not? Bald Tujia's tone was extremely unkind.

Yuan Xiu said angrily, "Lone thought you were an unintentional person, but it turned out that Lone was wrong." ”

"The son of the world has lost his honor, and he should apologize to the Lord!" Yu Wentai was afraid that the situation would get out of control, and at the same time, he also felt that Bald Tujia was too rude to let Rouran be arrogant.

Who knew that Bald Tujia neither continued to be fierce nor ignored Yu Wentai's words, and suddenly changed his expression and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment" After finishing speaking, he actually left Emperor Yuan Xiu and Prime Minister Yu Wentai and ran away, as if there was something urgent.

When Bald Tujia came out of the main hall of the East Hall, only Yuan Xiu and Yu Wentai were left looking at each other.

Yuan Xiu hurried back to Zhaoyang Palace. When he came out of the main hall of the east hall, he felt a kind of uneasiness rise in his heart, hiding a deep fear. The loud noise outside the hall just now was very strange, and there was also the voice of the palace people calling "Zhaoyi Lady". What would happen if Yuan Mingyue heard what Bald Tujia said just now? When he was still in Qinghui Hall before going to the East Hall, he felt that Yuan Mingyue was very weird, so he ordered the little eunuch to send a message to Qian Yuan, asking her to move Yuan Mingyue into Zhaoyang Hall as soon as possible.

Thinking in his heart, he hurried back to Zhaoyang Palace. But the Zhaoyang Hall was extremely quiet, and Yuan Mingyue was not here. The uneasiness in Yuan Xiu's heart deepened again. So he refused to enter the dormitory, so he immediately turned to the Qinghui Palace.

I saw the gate of the Qinghui Hall from afar, and before I got closer, I suddenly saw two black shadows flashing in the darkness and went around the back of the hall. One of the two shadows was as tall as a beast, and the other was as thin as a small beast. With a lot of doubts in his heart, he immediately quickened his steps and walked to the door of Qinghui Palace. Just as he was about to enter, suddenly an extremely bright light shot from behind.

At this time, not only Emperor Yuan Xiu, but all the eunuchs and palace maids felt strange and looked at the bright light. I saw that a heavy curtain seemed to be slowly opening in the sky, gradually sweeping away all the darkness, and in an instant, the golden light over Chang'an City was overflowing, and the golden wheel-like sun shone to every corner.

It was a very clear winter day. The sky was clear without a single cloud, and the sky was dazzlingly blue. The entire Wei Palace also brightened up. The palace people pointed and whispered about the celestial statues. Yuan Xiu's heart also felt a little stable. He turned around and was about to push the door, when he suddenly found that the door of the Qinghui Hall was hidden, as if someone had just left in a hurry.

Yuan Xiu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, gently pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, he used his gestures to stop everyone who followed behind him. There was an indescribable smell in the Qinghui Palace, and there was no one in it. Yuan Xiu slowed down and walked inside very lightly step by step. The smell seemed so fishy that it almost made him gause.

In front of him is a heavy curtain, and inside is the inner bed. Yuan Xiu stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then called first, "Qiao!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Qiang's voice came from behind the curtain. It's just that the sound seems to be far away, and it's almost inaudible.

When Yuan Xiu heard the voice of Qian Yuan, his heart immediately became steady, and he no longer hesitated to open the curtain and enter. However, when the curtain fell again behind him, isolating the inside and outside, Yuan Xiu saw a scene that shocked him extremely much. He saw the cocoon lying not far in front of him, covered in blood, and the ground was covered with blood. What made him even more alarming was the hairpins, rings, step shakes and other things scattered on the ground, I don't know whose things it was?

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Qian Qian called one after another, as if she had something important to tell Yuan Xiu, but her breath was already weak, and it seemed that it was useless.

"Where's Zhaoyi?!" Yuan Xiu asked sharply, and at the same time, when he looked up, he saw Yuan Mingyue sitting on the couch in front of the window, which was reassuring.

Yuan Xiu walked up to Qian Yuan, squatted down and asked, "Who wants to put you to death?" ”

"King Guangling...... The Prime Minister...... The prime minister ......" After finishing these words with all her might, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, and never spoke again.

Yuan Xiu saw that Yuan Mingyue had been sitting by the window, as if what happened here had nothing to do with her, and suddenly felt extremely weird, and hurriedly stood up and ran towards her. He walked up to her. She sat down on the couch with her right elbow on the table, and she leaned against the small table by the window. On the small table is her usual copper mirror, and a clay bottle is inserted with a few chrysanthemums that were originally alive but have just withered. Daylight poured in through the window behind her, enveloping her in golden light, and she looked so beautiful.

Yuan Mingyue sat under the window with a smile and looked at Yuan Xiu, not moving or speaking.

Yuan Xiu's breathing almost stopped, and he suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, in the Nanyang Palace, Luoyang, she just sat on the side with a smile and looked at him. Yuan Xiu walked up to her, slowly squatted down, and caressed her knees. But she still smiled and looked ahead of her, and refused to look down at him, still not moving or speaking.

"Sister......" he called softly, as they called it in private.

She turned a deaf ear.

He just didn't want to think about it. Her expression was actually stiff, her face was pale, and even her knees were hard and cold like iron.

The wave of air rushed up his throat, and he began to sobb uncontrollably, and the suffocating breath seemed to make him almost exhausted. He reached out, trembling violently, and finally grabbed her left hand with difficulty, which was on his lap.

Cold ......

When Yuan Xiu looked up and saw Yuan Mingyue's face again, she slowly closed her eyes as if she had made some wish.

I will never see this man in the world again, and I will never hear a word from her to him again. When she sat here smiling just now, it was as if she had seen something particularly beautiful and happy. She died, and the person sitting in front of Yuan Xiu at this moment was no longer Yuan Mingyue, just a corpse without a soul.

There was no blood on her body, no scars.

Yuan Xiu still looked up at her in disbelief. At this moment, a trace of blood suddenly snaked down the corner of her lips, and the dazzling black and red seemed to have a deep mark on her snow-white skin.

"Sister......" Yuan Xiu's heart hurt as if it was about to be torn apart. What Chang'an, what Da Wei, everything has nothing to do with him. From now on, without this man, where should he go?

Yuan Xiu stood up suddenly, and he remembered what Qian Qian had said before he died. He must ask to understand, full of grief is already burning in an instant. I was about to leave, but I suddenly felt that someone grabbed my clothes. Turning around again in disbelief, Yuan Mingyue's hand on his lap still maintained the posture just now, but he didn't know when he pressed the corner of his bottom.

Yuan Xiu couldn't stop breaking out any longer, tears erupted from him, and he tried his best to suppress himself from crying. Gently pulled out her clothes from Yuan Mingyue's hand, looked at her for the last time, stroked her sideburns, and whispered, "Sister, I know your thoughts, but I don't want to bear you for the rest of my life." After saying that, he no longer hesitated and strode away.
