Jin Guo Yiqing Mansion Palace

Wan Yanping sat in the dimly lit room, her haggard face reflected by the shadowy candlelight.

If there are people who are familiar with her, but haven't seen her for a long time, if they see her current face and see her now, they will definitely be frightened, and the high-spirited and proud General Wanyan before is already two completely different people. Although he is neatly dressed and has proper makeup, the tiredness of the whole person from the inside out cannot be concealed by these external things.

She coughed lightly twice, looked down at the letter on the table, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

The letter had appeared on her desk an hour earlier, and she had only discovered it after meeting her generals and returning to her dormitory.

I asked the guards who were secretly guarding here, and none of them saw anyone enter the dormitory, so the appearance of this letter also surprised the guards, especially after they carefully inspected the entire dormitory, and confirmed that there were no traces of intrusion on the doors, windows, and roofs of the palace, they couldn't accept this fact, and under their close surveillance, there were still people who could enter and leave the palace freely, it was simply incredible, and it was impossible for such a living person to come and go without a trace in the world.

Thinking of the word living person, the guards quickly thought of the rumors of the haunting in the palace recently, if this letter was placed here by the ghost sister, they would still be more or less likely to accept it.

What do the guards think, Wan Yanping doesn't really matter, her attention is on the letter, the wax mark on the seal is a pattern she is very familiar with, she has seen this pattern for more than ten years now, and the letter received from the owner behind this pattern has already been two full boxes together. However, in the past six months, she has received such a letter almost every few days, and the content of the letter is the same, using similar inducements, threats, intimidation and other means to force her to hand over the power of the Jin Kingdom. If she disagrees or resists, she will make public the dirty things she has done all these years.

Maybe Wan Yanping was still a little panicked when she received the first letter, but as there were more and more similar letters, she became more and more calm.

After thinking about it carefully, whether it is Xia Guo or Liao Guo, it seems that they should have some understanding of how she obtained the throne, especially Xia Guo, the young Marquis of Wuding, has been reluctantly tracking down the real cause of his mother's death, and it is a matter of time before he finds out about his head, and when the time comes, no matter whether there is someone behind him or not, Xue Ruitian will not let him go.

If it is time to liquidate, he still holds the power of the Jin Kingdom in his hands, and he may be able to carry it, but now that he has handed over the power, he can really only wait for death. Besides, she didn't believe it at all, if she really did what they told her and obediently obeyed, they wouldn't throw herself out as a shield.

Although she had expected that her ending would not be so good, in other words, it was very miserable, but she didn't want to accept her fate, she didn't want to be swayed by anyone, she didn't want to be bound by anyone, whether it was the Wanyan people besieging the city, the Jin country, or the Xia country and the Liao country that were eyeing the tiger, and the mysterious family that had never met, or even the erratic ghost in the palace who seemed to have a deep hatred for herself, she still wanted to fight and fight for a way out for herself.

"Ah Cai, it's a little dark in the room, let's add two more lights!"

After making the final decision, Wan Yanping felt a lot more relaxed, only to realize that she had been out of her mind for too long, and it was already dark.

"Yes!" Ah Cai, the palace maid who was guarding next to her, came out of the shadows, holding two freshly lit poke lamps in her hands and gently placing them on the table. "Your Highness, it's late, you haven't eaten today, do you want to pass the meal?"

Wan Yanping shook her head slightly, stretched out her already thin hand without a trace of meat to hold on to the table, and slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Ah Cai hurriedly went to support her, felt the bony body hidden under the wide robe, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"At such a young age, how can you sigh for a long time?" Wan Yanping staggered two steps, heard Ah Cai's sigh, slowly turned around, and saw that Ah Cai was so sad that she was about to cry, and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you putting on such a look?" ”

"Your Highness, you can eat a little more, in the past few days, you have only eaten two or three meals, only two or three bites per meal, this is too little, look at how thin you are now. You have big things to do, if you continue like this...... The body will not be able to hold it. ”

"I have no appetite, I can't eat at all, if I'm hungry, I'll tell you."

"Why are you doing this? I knew it would be like this, but I might as well ...... it at the beginning."

Wan Yanping shook her head at her, interrupting what she was about to say next.

"Ah Cai, in life, there is a give-and-take, I chose to do this at the beginning, and I will not regret it today. The way I am now, maybe I deserve it, so you don't have to feel sorry for me, don't worry about me, get through this time, you should be fine. ”

"But they ......," Cai's gaze fell on a letter on the table, "it's too much, it's too despicable, it's going to kill you!" Perhaps from the very beginning, when they offered to help His Highness, they had already calculated it. ”

"Even though I was young at the time, I wasn't stupid, and I knew it was a trap, but I decided to jump in. Or what I just said, the field that has fallen to this point today is completely caused by myself, and has nothing to do with anyone. ”

Wan Yanping slowly walked in front of Ah Cai, looked at her quietly for a while, and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Don't cry, it's not beautiful if you cry."

"Your Highness, we still have a chance to redeem ourselves, right?"

"A chance of redemption? At least for now, no. Wan Yanping shook her head gently, looked at the letter on the table, and smiled bitterly, "The Tantai family, the Black Armor Battalion, I thought that this legendary family that only existed in legends had long since disappeared into the world and become a real legend, but I didn't expect ......" Seeing Ah Cai's confused look, she shrugged, "Is there any problem?" ”

"This platform or something, and that battalion, is it very powerful?"

"It's amazing, it's very powerful, it's unimaginable."

"But ......," Ah Cai frowned, racking her brains for a long time, "the slave has never heard of them. ”

"Don't talk about you, few people in the entire Dajin have heard of this, and even in the Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, not many people know about them." Wan Yanping continued to pace slowly in the room, "Their story is long, there is time to tell it slowly, but what you need to understand now is that compared to all the opponents we have encountered before, their strength is the strongest. Even the Shen family's army, which is currently recognized as the strongest and strongest in combat, has to weigh its own weight when facing them. ”

"Such a powerful family can completely develop its own power, why should you calculate Your Highness?" Ah Cai continued to stare at the letter, pouting and saying, "Moreover, their appetite is too great!" ”

"Silly boy, we are the force of their development, we are desperate for them!" Wan Yanping was a little tired from walking, sat on a low pier nearby, took two breaths, and said, "Why were they willing to help selflessly help me in the first place, help me get rid of Uncle Huang and Brother Lobby, and force away the little cousin?" Isn't it all for today? She sneered, her eyes looking at Ah Cai very firmly, "But I won't let them get their way!" ”
