Chapter 196: The night is like ink, and the wind and rain are coming
Chinese Yan Yan stood with her back to the gate, and the light outside the door blurred a circle of light and shadow on her body, hiding her face in the aperture, so dazzling that people couldn't see the expression of her face.
She finally took a few steps inside, and stood in the hall, her face a little pale, and her whole person was a lot thinner, as if a strong wind could blow her away.
Liwang stood up and walked in front of her, looked at her carefully, and said in a low voice, "Why did you lose weight like this?" ”
The words were full of distress and pity.
If she hadn't learned the truth from Huo Lian'er, she would have been ecstatic and grateful at the moment.
It's a pity that everything is fake, so fake that it can't be faker anymore.
Yan Yan thought mockingly in her heart, but her face remained silent, and she lowered her head and whispered: "I haven't congratulated my brother-in-law on my newlywed wedding, Yan'er makes up for it, I wish my brother-in-law a ......."
"Yan'er." The king suddenly interrupted her.
Yan Yan looked up at him, her eyes flushed.
Liwang was distressed, but he looked at Yun Xiangrong calmly and said, "Brother and sister, can you let this king and Yan'er say a few words alone." ”
Yun Xiangrong raised his eyebrows, put down the cup in his hand, and said lightly: "Naturally." Yun Xiangrong said, stood up and walked outside, leaving the hall.
Only Yan Yan and Li Wang were left in the hall.
"Yan'er, listen to me, I know that you are sad that I married Huo Lian'er, but you have to believe me, I am really forced by the situation and have to do it. Moreover, I had already made arrangements that I didn't even touch a single hair of her hair. Li Wang thought that Yan Yan was jealous, and said in a low voice.
Yan Yan bit her lip and didn't speak, tears rolled down her cheeks, her expression was sad but extraordinarily quiet.
Liwang has never seen Yan Yan who is so aggrieved but wants to pretend to be strong, maybe she is not pretending to be strong, but really hopes that she can be strong.
But I have to say that the king is distressed.
Looking at Yan Yan like this, he felt distressed.
Liwang hugged Yan Yan into his arms and said in a low voice: "No matter what, I will never let go in my life." You are destined to be with me. ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly and said, "Now that the biggest trouble has been solved, you go home with me, if you want to know anything, I will tell you." ”
The biggest trouble...... When Yan Yan heard this, she was slightly stunned, could it be that he was talking about...... Fire Lotus?
But does it mean that Huo Lian'er's body has slowly improved, how can it be?
Yan Yan was puzzled, but she didn't ask anything.
Liwang took Yan Yan to find Yun Xiangrong, and after saying goodbye to her, he quietly returned to Liwangfu with Yan Yan.
Coincidentally, as soon as they entered the hospital, Yan Yan saw the figure of "Fire Lotus".
The astonishment in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and he saw that "Fire Lotus" actually saluted them.
"I've seen Lord Wang, Miss Yan." The posture is respectful, and it is no different from the average subordinate.
Yan Yan was taken aback, and looked at King Li, her eyes full of puzzlement, "This ...... What's going on? ”
Liwang took Yan Yan's hand and walked towards his courtyard, and said lightly: "I'll explain to you when I go back to the room." ”
When he arrived in the room, King Li's departure told Yan Yan the whole story.
It turned out that he had already found a maid who looked like Huo Lian'er to secretly observe Huo Lian'er's every move, and when she learned to be eight or nine and ten, he poisoned Huo Lian'er, and then changed the maid's appearance into Huo Lian'er, and left Huo Lian'er in the palace.
In this way, you don't have to worry about leaving the country to pick up the plane and send troops to leave the country, and you can avoid Huo Lian'er from causing trouble in the palace.
He only said that he was disguised, but he did not say that he followed Jiang Guogong and peeled off Huo Lian'er's face and used it to make a human skin mask.
This kind of mask made of human skin can almost be fake, and if you don't know the inside story, you will never be able to see it.
"What about the real Fire Lotus?" Yan Yan couldn't help but ask.
Liwang looked indifferently and said: "Yan'er, this is not something you should care about, as long as you stay by my side, I will handle the next things." ”
Yan Yan was shocked, and she almost couldn't help but be shocked.
She looked at Liwang in a daze, almost unable to believe that this was still the person she remembered and loved deeply.
He remembers, his appearance is stunning, his infatuation is gone, and the occasional melancholy and affection are even more inextricably attracted to him and surrender to him.
But now he can calculate others without changing his face, and determine the life and death of others.
Although she didn't like Huo Lian'er, she couldn't imagine that the king could kill Huo Lian'er, who was infatuated with him, so easily.
So light and light, so unconcerned.
Huo Lian'er married Qiguo for him, which would have required courage, but such a sudden death made it really difficult for her to accept.
He can be so ruthless to Huo Lian'er, what about her? Isn't it possible?
"Why is your face so ugly? Uncomfortable? Seeing that Yan Yan's face was extremely ugly, Li Wang couldn't help but reach out and hold her in his arms, stretched out his hand and landed on her forehead, frowned and asked.
The actions were very warm, and the eyes were concerned enough, but they couldn't warm Yan Yan's already cold heart.
Yan Yan deliberately joked: "I was just thinking that if I didn't have any effect on you, would you do the same to me one day." ”
"No, how can I be willing to hurt you." Liwang hugged Yan Yan in his arms and said in a low voice.
Yan Yan nestled in the arms of the king, and lost the brilliance of her eyes.
Are you really reluctant to get hurt? Why did she listen like a joke!
Time passes, winter goes to spring, summer goes to autumn solstice, and most of the year has passed in a blink of an eye.
For most of the year, the days of Qiguo were relatively peaceful.
Jiang Guogong disappeared as if he had disappeared, and he was nowhere to be found, and no matter how many people the emperor sent, he was not found.
And the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, and over the past year, his face has become more and more ugly.
The power of the king is becoming more and more stable, and he is in the limelight for a while, and in the hearts of all the courtiers, although the king is still not named the crown prince, but only waiting for the emperor to abdicate, he is the new emperor.
It is worth mentioning that on the day he turned sixteen in the seventh year of the school, he began to participate in court affairs, but most of the time he only listened to and studied, and rarely expressed his opinions, but whenever he spoke, he could put forward good suggestions.
At first, when he saw Xiao Qi participating in politics, he was on guard, but gradually, seeing that Xiao Qi didn't seem to have much political interest and ambition, he was relieved.
Xiao Qi on the bright side behaved in peace, but secretly with the emperor's intentional help and Huo Chen's best efforts, his power grew stronger and stronger.
It is said that the emperor's heart is like the sea, unpredictable, moody, and he looks like he is relying on the king on the surface, but secretly he vigorously cultivates Xiaoqi's power, which has never happened in other princes before.
The emperor's family is good at the art of checks and balances, and the emperor doesn't like it when he leaves the king's nature, his face is quiet, but he secretly has his own plans, and from a selfish point of view, he also pampers Xiao Qi more.
Zhennan Palace.
Today, Huo Chen returned exceptionally late, and his face was cold.
Although it didn't look much different from usual, Yun Xiangrong sensed that he was in a bad mood.
Embraced Enming, who was already asleep, to the nurse and let her hug her, Yun Xiang greeted Huo Chen, took the cloak he took off and hung it up.
"Did something happen? Is your face so ugly? Yun Xiangrong asked in a low voice.
"Leaving the country and suddenly raising troops to invade our border, the emperor convened an emergency court meeting, and finally decided that the eldest brother would lead the troops to support the border in three days." Huo Chen frowned slightly.
Yun Xiangrong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How could it be so sudden?" ”
"It's the news from the border, and in the next few days, I'm afraid that Qiguo will be stormy." Huo Chen said calmly.
Huo Chen's face was a little cold.
It's only been quiet for more than half a year, and the border is making waves again, and now the emperor is not in good health, and Xiao Qi's forces have not yet reached the level of being able to confront the king, if the emperor has something to do, the situation will be difficult to control.
The most important thing is that Huo Chen has not forgotten that there is also a vanished Jiang Guogong.
If Jiang Guogong makes some more noise at that time and sends him to send troops to exterminate Jiang Guogong, then the form of the capital is difficult to say.
Yun Xiangrong's heart sank when she heard this, she knew Huo Chen's worries, but she was helpless at this time, so she could only reach out and grab Huo Chen's hand, smiling, showing that she was as firm as him.
Three days later, Yun Qing set out on an expedition, and Yun Xiangrong went to see him off.
The march was mighty, and when it marched slowly, when the footsteps landed neatly, it made a dull footstep sound, causing dust to fly, making people feel solemn.
Yun Qing was talking to Wang Xuejing, and when she saw Yun Xiangrong coming, she bowed slightly.
"Rong'er."
"Brother, you must be careful of your own safety on this trip, come back safely, Huo Chen and I, Daddy and Xue Jing are all waiting for you to come back." Yun Xiangrong said calmly.
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, I will be careful, you should also be careful in the capital, Xue Jing and Daddy will take care of you and Huo Chen." ”
In fact, with Yun Xuan's identity and skill, no matter what happens, he will not be implicated, but Yun Qing knows that now that Huo Chen and King Li are separated from each other, if something really happens, the Yun family will definitely bear the brunt.
Yun Xiangrong nodded understandingly, and said, "Brother, just rest assured, I understand." ”
"Alright, it's time for me to go, take care of myself." Yun Qing said, reaching out and holding Wang Xuejing tightly in her arms.
"Wait until I get home." Yun Qing whispered in her ear.
Wang Xuejing smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Okay." ”
Yun Qing let go of Wang Xuejing, did not stay any longer, turned over the horse, and chased towards the army that had been moving forward for a while.
When they could no longer see the shadow of the army, Wang Xuejing and Yun Xiangrong left together and returned to the city.
Yun Qing went on the expedition, except for a few people who felt depressed and had a feeling that the wind and rain were coming, most of the other people did not have much worry, after all, Yun Qing's courage and good fighting were well-known.
And the people do not have the slightest sense of crisis, every day the sun rises, the sun sets, and the capital once again falls into a strange calm.
Half a month after Yunqing's expedition, there was news that Jiang Guogong recruited troops and horses, gathered a group of rabble to start an incident, stirring up the resentment of the people in Shanxi, and the general army of Shanxi was helpless and asked the capital to send people to help suppress the bandits.
Yun Qing has already set out for the expedition, and the generals who can go out have basically been sent to various places to guard the borders, leaving only some old generals and Huo Chen.
The old general could not bear the pain of marching, and in the end he could only put the heavy task of exterminating Jiang Guogong on Huo Chen.
The day after Huo Chen received the will, he led his troops out of Beijing.
That night, the emperor finished handling other political affairs and returned to the palace accompanied by Duke De.
In the past year, the emperor's health has not been very good, so in addition to asking his most trusted father-in-law to take care of him, the palace people next to him can only do some chores.
Father-in-law De took off his coat for the emperor and served him to sleep.
However, as soon as he lifted the quilt, he was startled by a letter placed on the dragon bed.
How can a letter appear in the emperor's dragon bed?
Duke De openly wanted to call the guards in, but was interrupted by the emperor waving his hand, "Wait." ”
Gonggong De hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, looked at the emperor, and said cautiously: "The emperor ......"
"Open it and take a look." The emperor said with a cold face, but the look in his eyes was no longer as sharp and unpredictable as it was at the beginning, revealing some dull powerlessness.
"Yes." Father-in-law De responded, hurriedly reached out and took the letter, opened it, and didn't dare to look at the contents, but held it directly towards the emperor.
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the handwriting on his head, his originally calm expression gradually cracked, his breathing became thicker, his face became more and more pale as paper, the anger in his eyes was monstrous, and he couldn't stop coughing a few times, but it was a mouthful of blood that spit directly on the letter paper in front of him.
"The Emperor's ......" Father-in-law De exclaimed, hurriedly threw away the letter in his hand, and reached out to support the crumbling emperor.
"Come ......" Father-in-law De wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for the emperor in a panic, and wanted to call someone.
"Don't, don't make a noise." The emperor said in a low voice.
"Emperor, this ......" Gonggong De looked at the emperor in confusion.
"Go to the secret room and get the resurrection pill left by Dr. Sun from before and give it to me." The emperor said in a low voice.
At the beginning, the emperor wanted to recruit Sun Yi, but Sun Yi was unwilling to be restrained and refused in words.
But later, Sun Yi presented him with a pill, saying that as long as there was still one breath, this pill could save his life, temporarily restore his spirit, and wait for him to be treated.
Although the emperor felt that he didn't need it in his heart, but after all, Sun Yi's medical skills were superb and he wouldn't lie, so he put away the pills in case of an emergency, but he didn't expect to really use it today.
"The old slave is going, this is going." Father-in-law De hurriedly responded, helped the emperor to sit on the dragon bed, and then went to get the pill in a panic.
After the imperial service, I only felt that my spirit was much better.
Although his face was still pale and ugly, he no longer had the appearance that he was about to faint.
Gonggong De was also relieved when he saw this.
The emperor has nothing to do, if there is really something...... What was written in that letter that made the emperor so angry? Father-in-law De thought to himself.
"Little Dezi." The emperor called.
"The minions are here." Father-in-law De hurriedly answered.
"Pen and ink waiting."
Father-in-law De responded, and when he heard the words, he hurried to get pen and ink.
The emperor wrote three letters in succession, packed them separately, and then summoned his henchmen and secret guards to come, handed them the letters, and told them in a low voice that they must deliver the letters.
Looking at the back of the secret guard leaving, the emperor's heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadow, which could not be erased.
The letter is not written about the things that happened to the king, but about the things that the king had done.
In the past half a year, the emperor also had a secret investigation, knowing that the death of the crown prince was related to the departure of the king, and knew that Prince Yu's mansion was planted by him, but he didn't know that Jiang Guogong was let go by him.
But this letter also tells the story. Because there were two things he knew, the emperor didn't even have much doubt about Jiang Guogong's affairs.
Thinking of the thoughtfulness and strength of the king now, he was a little worried, his eyes flashed, and he simply said directly to Degong: "You take my waist card out of the palace now, and invite the prime minister to come to the palace overnight." ”
Then he whispered to the algebra of the German bus.
"Yes, the minion is here." Father-in-law De hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.
Facts have proved that the emperor's worries are justified, the three secret guards who sent the letter just left the palace and were stared at, except for the secret guard commander with the highest martial arts, who fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, the other two secret guards were killed, and the letter in their hands finally fell into the hands of the king.
The purpose of the Dark Guard Commander is not elsewhere, it is the Zhennan Palace.
"Someone." Dark, Zhao Xi, who was guarding the house, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked straight at the window, his hand was surging, and he shook his hand with a hidden weapon.
The commander of the dark guard managed to dodge with difficulty, and hurriedly shouted: "My subordinates were sent by the emperor to ask to see the princess, please don't do anything." ”
Hearing what the person was saying, Zhao Xi frowned and withdrew the strength of his hand.
After holding the lamp, I saw a man in black standing by the window and not daring to move, his right hand covering his left shoulder, blood flowing out, and there was a faint smell of blood in the room.
Zhao Xi frowned, "The emperor's man? ”
"Indeed, I also asked the girl to wake up the princess and say that she had something important to inform the princess." The Dark Guard Commander said hurriedly.
"What?" Yun Xiangrong was also awakened by a series of movements, put on his coat, got up and asked.
"This is the emperor's secret letter, please take a look at the princess." The Dark Guard Commander handed over the letter and whispered.
Yun Xiangrong frowned, a little puzzled, but still motioned for Zhao Xi to take the letter.
When he opened the letter, Yun Xiangrong's eyes kept flickering.
The emperor already knows, and there should be a move from the king's side, and finally ...... It's time to wait!
"You're out of the palace this time, but someone knows?" Yun Xiang Rong Hexin asked.
"The next subordinate was stared at when he left the palace, and after a lot of fighting, he finally broke out of the encirclement and came to the palace, the princess also asked to contact the prince as soon as possible, otherwise the palace is afraid that the horse will be targeted." The Dark Guard Commander said.
Yun Xiangrong told Zhao Xi to go out to check, and after a while, Zhao Xi came to tell him that the palace had indeed been targeted.
A sneer flashed across her mouth, but luckily she was prepared.
Yun Xiangrong let the Dark Guard Commander go down to rest, but now that the palace is being targeted, he will be sent to death when he goes out, and it is impossible to return to the palace.
After the Dark Guard Commander left, Yun Xiangrong looked at the darkness outside the window, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, this last moment finally came.
Thinking about it, she walked to her room, walked to the left wall, and spun one of its vases, and the wall suddenly cracked a door.
Yun Xiangrong stepped in.
It was not dim inside, the light was on, and I walked down the ladder to the bottom and saw Huo Chen, who had already sat up.
"Something's wrong?" Huo Chen asked.
Yun Xiangrong nodded, walked to Huo Chen's side and sat down, and told Huo Chen the letter sent by the emperor.
As early as Yun Qing set out on the expedition, Huo Chen realized that something was wrong, and the Hidden Wing Army under his command did not disappoint him, and found out a lot of useful news.
For most of the year, the king stretched out his tentacles to the palace, and there were many spies he had planted in the palace.
Huo Chen thought that he just wanted to know the news of the palace at any time, and the two of them didn't turn their faces in the open, so they just made a note of who these people were, and let the people of the Hidden Wing Army keep an eye on them, so they didn't pay attention to it anymore.
After all, now on the bright side, the most promising person under the emperor's knee is the departed king, and the future new emperor must be his.
But when he checked this time, he realized that he had underestimated the king.
Liwang may not know how they cultivated Xiao Qi, but he also smells a little wrong.
He guards against them, and the people he places are enough to cause palace changes at any time.
And at this moment, there was a rebellion of Jiang Guogong, and Huo Chen wanted to come forward to suppress the bandits.
So Huo Chen left the capital under the pretense of suppressing bandits, but secretly returned to the Zhennan Wangfu through the tunnel and stayed in this basement.
Because of that letter, the letter that exposed the various bad deeds of the king, was sent to the emperor after Huo Qi, the third prince of the country, knew that Huo Lian'er was dead, and Huo Chen, taking advantage of the situation, helped.
"He's going to do it." After listening to Yun Xiangrong's words, Huo Chen suddenly stood up and quickly got dressed.
"You have to be careful." Yun Xiangrong grabbed Huo Chen's clothes, his eyes worried.
She knew that this time, all the previous apparent peace would be shattered, and Huo Chen and Liwang would definitely die.
Because a long time ago, the king was ready to launch a palace change.
If he can sit on the throne smoothly, his people will be dormant, and now that all kinds of things in his past have been exposed, the emperor must not allow him, he must fight to the death in order to live, for the throne, and he will always be the winner to write the ending.
As long as he can become the new emperor, then he can completely hide the dirtiness of the past, and if he fails, he is doomed to be doomed!
Once the king is on the throne, then it will be the end of Xiao Qi and them, and with the more and more ruthless heart of the king now, Huo Chen and Xiao Qi will never be allowed to live well.
So in just half a year, Huo Chen is calculating to leave the king, and the king is also calculating, and now, he also sees who is better and can win the opportunity.
"I know, don't delay, hurry up and leave the tunnel with someone, go live outside the city, and wait for my news to come back." Huo Chen said in a low voice.
Yun Xiangrong nodded calmly.
Huo Chen took Yun Xiangrong out of the secret room together, and in the room, Huo Chen hugged Yun Xiangrong in his arms, kissed her on the lips, and said in a low voice: "Rest assured that I will pick you up, good." ”
After speaking, Huo Chen didn't delay any longer and left in a hurry.
Yun Xiangrong watched Huo Chen leave, knowing that this was the time to race against time, he was not sentimental, and ordered Zhao Xi and Chu Er to go to other rooms to wake people up.
As early as the beginning of guarding against the king, Yun Xiangrong ordered people to build a secret passage in the mansion that could lead to the outside of the city.
At this moment, just in case, she took Wang Xuejing over.
As for Yun Xuan, he didn't come.
After all, he is the body of the prime minister, and if he moves, it will cause a great effect, and he will startle the snake.
The people who left this time, except for a few henchmen, only Yun Xiangrong, Xiao Enming, Wang Xuejing, and the group were lightly dressed and left quietly from the secret passage, and the ordinary people in the mansion didn't even notice it.
The night is like ink, and the wind and rain are coming.
