When Lu Tianjiao was leaving, a seed of hatred planted in the Qin Palace's mansion had quietly sprouted. And the seed, which had cracked apart, had begun to grow like crazy.

In the blink of an eye, it is approaching the end of the lunar year, and today is a snowy day in the middle of winter.

The world was covered in silver, and it seemed that the entire land of Western Qin had become much quieter, and only the sound of snowflakes falling could be heard.

It was not long after dinner time in the Western Qin Imperial Palace, and it was already night. In Xuanyuan Yue's Fenghua Palace, a candle flame illuminates the entire palace as if it were daytime.

Suddenly, there was a huge collective kneeling voice of the minions outside the door, "Long live the emperor, long live the queen's mother, long live, thousand years old."

"It's my father and mother," Xuanyuan Yue said happily when she heard this, and hurriedly walked out of the bookcase to greet her.

She saluted and said, "The sons and daughters greet the father and the queen mother, and the father and the queen mother are blessed and safe."

"Hurry up, hurry up," the queen smiled as she reached over and helped Xuanyuan Yue up.

Then he grabbed Xuanyuan Yue's pair of slender jade hands and held them tightly in his palms, and said with concern, "Emperor, this day is already the middle of winter, the sky is cold, and the winter snow is continuous. The emperor has a cough disease, but you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, the queen mother, with Yun'er here, the emperor's cough has already been cured" Xuanyuan Yue glanced at the clothes behind him, and Yun said with relish.

"That's fine, you all have to serve Her Royal Highness the princess carefully, do you know?" the queen then said to the minions present with a serious face.

Everyone responded in unison, "Slaves obey orders"

Xuanyuan Yue took the queen's arm, pursed her red lips, and said coquettishly: "Oops... Okay, the queen mother, the emperor is really good, the queen mother can rest assured. I don't know what happened to the queen mother in the palace today? ”

The queen was about to speak, but Emperor Jing on the side opened her mouth first and said, "Yue'er's calligraphy attainments are getting higher and higher." It turned out that Emperor Jing did not sit down directly after coming in, but walked to the bookcase to check the words that Xuanyuan Yue had just written.

Xuanyuan Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then hurriedly ran over to put away the rice paper on the table that Emperor Jing was looking at, but was stopped by Emperor Jing with one hand and said with a smile, "Empress, you also come over to have a look"

When the queen heard Emperor Jing's summons, she walked over slowly, but what the queen saw was not Xuanyuan Yue's words, but the poem she landed on the rice paper.

The queen recited softly, "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March"

Xuanyuan Yue was standing on the side of the bookcase, at this time, she was frowning like an ant on a hot pot, and involuntarily looked at Yi Shangyun next to her, Yi Shangyun was also frowning but shook his head at her, signaling her to be restless.

After reading it, the queen smiled and raised her head to look at Xuanyuan Yue and said to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, it seems that our Yue'er has grown up."

"Hahaha..." At this time, Emperor Jing suddenly laughed and left the bookcase, walked over and sat down.

The queen asked seriously, "Emperor, you are now too old to get married." Looking at the noble ministers of the Western Qin Kingdom, do you have a favorite person? ”

"What did the Queen Mother say? Yue'er is still young, she has never had such an idea, this poem is just written by Yue'er on a whim, don't speculate indiscriminately" Xuanyuan Yue hurriedly explained with a flustered face.

"That is, there is no emperor in this Western Qin Kingdom, so very good," Emperor Jing said after Xuanyuan Yue's words.

"Why did my father say this," Xuanyuan Yue asked in confusion.

"Queen, come and tell the emperor" When the queen heard this, she was stunned and looked at Emperor Jing, and then turned back to Xuanyuan Yue.

After being silent for a moment, she raised a slightly helpless and slightly stiff smile and said, "Yue'er, as a child of the royal family, you should have the responsibility that a child of the royal family should have, and you must be concerned about the safety of the people of Western Qin." Although you are a daughter, you are no better than a man who can gallop on the battlefield and defend the territory. But as the noble princess of the Western Qin Kingdom, you should also do your part for the country."

The more Xuanyuan Yue listened to the queen's words, the more wrong she became, she didn't know what her father and queen mother were going to say, but she had a bad premonition. hurriedly said, "What is the matter with the father and queen mother, you might as well say it directly, Yue'er will listen to it"

The queen was very embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, but she finally said, "Your father is going to keep you for this year, and when the spring opens, he will marry you to Tuoba Ze, the prince of the Northern Lie Kingdom, and marry him."

"What" Xuanyuan Yue suddenly felt a thunderbolt of dizziness in front of him, and hurriedly took two steps back, and the clouds on his clothes were also very unexpected, and immediately stepped forward to support Xuanyuan Yue.

"Huang'er..." The queen looked panicked and wanted to reach out to help Xuanyuan Yue, but Xuanyuan Yue retreated. The queen looked distressed, this was a piece of meat that fell from her body after her hard work to conceive a baby, how could she not pity her. But in the emperor's family, how can she do everything she wants.

Emperor Jing had made up his mind, and at this time he said decisively, "The dispute between the four countries is ruined." The soldiers of the Northern Lie State have repeatedly violated the border of Western Qin, and the people on the border are not happy..."

Xuanyuan Yue was annoyed and ashamed, and hurriedly interrupted Emperor Jing's words, and hurriedly said, "Doesn't Western Qin have a god of war, Uncle Qin?" ”

When Emperor Jing heard this, he snorted with a contemptuous face, "Although the King of Qin has repeatedly made miraculous achievements to force him back, which campaign is not a waste of money and a lot of debts, Western Qin has long been empty of treasury, and now it urgently needs time to recuperate."

Xuanyuan Yue listened and said helplessly, "So my father thinks that the best way now is to sacrifice Yue'er to marry his relatives to appease Beilie, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out of the silence of the room, she paused for a long time, and suddenly asked with tears and sadness, "Father and Queen Mother, is Yue'er still your favorite emperor anymore?" ”

"Emperor, you will always be the queen mother's most beloved royal son," the queen also burst into tears and cried in distress as she hugged Xuanyuan Yue. But Xuanyuan Yue's eyes instantly lost the pride and pride of the past, and now in her eyes, there is only infinite despair for the parents of the emperor and queen who are extremely noble.

Who knew that she suddenly said to the emperor with a firm and resolute face, "Father, queen mother, please forgive the emperor for not obeying his fate."

When the queen heard her voice of such direct, bold and firm resistance, she looked at Xuanyuan Yue in her arms with extremely frightened eyes.

And Emperor Jing was also angry and said, "What do you say, you dare to disobey my will, who gave you such courage."

Seeing the situation, Yishangyun immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry, the princess is still young, and the Beilie country is a nomadic people, the conditions are extremely bad, the princess has been pampered since she was a child, and she must not adapt to her life." I hope the emperor will think twice."

"Who are you, dare to intercede for her" In this situation, even the queen, who is the biological mother of Xuanyuan Yue, the mother of the Western Qin Kingdom, does not dare to persuade her.

Ran Shangyun rushed forward with a calm and calm face, and even Xuanyuan Yue on the side pinched her sweat and exclaimed, "Yun'er..."

Yi Shangyun glanced back at Xuanyuan Yue, who was gray and pear blossoms with rain at this moment, and strengthened his determination.

"Your Majesty, as the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, the worst condition of the four countries of the Lingkong Continent belongs to Beilie, and the princess is the most valuable princess in Western Qin, the emperor sent her to Beilie Country and relatives, isn't it better to put the princess into the tiger's mouth, the emperor is really willing?"

"Presumptuous, bold minions dare to speak wildly, I will let you have a long memory today" Emperor Jing was furious.

Xuanyuan Yue was also flustered and wanted to step forward to intercede, but the queen held her tightly, "Yue'er, your father is angry now, you don't want to increase his anger, otherwise Yun'er will only be punished more severely."

"But, Queen Mother, Yun'er, she's all for me..."The queen shook her head with a look in her eyes, Xuanyuan Yue thought about it and had to keep her silent, just looked at Yishangyun with a worried face, and then looked at Emperor Jing who was high above, not knowing how he was going to punish her.

Emperor Jing looked at the flying snow under the dim candlelight outside the hall and said, "I see that today's snow is good, I will punish you to kneel in this snow for twelve hours, and pray for the blessings of my people in Western Qin."

"Father, the emperor can't, twelve hours, ice and snow, Yun'er will definitely die" Xuanyuan Yue couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this, and cried and begged Emperor Jing.

"Princess, don't worry, Yun'er can do it," Yishangyun smiled and said to Xuanyuan Yue, then kowtowed to Emperor Jing, and willingly walked out of the hall to receive the punishment.

Xuanyuan Yue hurriedly shook off the queen's hand and chased out, but the figure on the cloud was already gone, and Xuanyuan Yue showed a worried face......

So, in the middle of winter, the ice and snow are icy and the wind is biting. A stubborn and strong figure knelt alone at the gate of Fenghua Palace.

At this moment, Yishangyun knelt on her knees on the freezing snow, and the snow fell all over her. Emperor Jing ordered her to stay awake and kneel for twelve hours without eating or drinking before she could be forgiven, and only four hours had passed, just after the end of the hour.

"What can I do? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said something like that on impulse to make my father angry, and it was indeed Yun'er who suffered in the end" Xuanyuan Yue also couldn't sleep at night, pacing in the dormitory in a panic and helplessly complaining.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the palace maid on the side persuaded her, "Princess, let's rest and rest, you have been walking all night, and your legs are sore."

"Let's all go, do you all know that if you kneel like this again, Yun'er's legs are afraid that they will be wasted, how can this princess rest in peace?" Xuanyuan Yue angrily scolded the little palace maid who spoke.

"But princess, it doesn't help you to walk around like this, now you are confined by the emperor in Fenghua Palace, and you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step. It was the emperor who ordered the punishment of the clothed and medicinal girl, who would dare to disobey the emperor's order? The little palace maid said cautiously.

Xuanyuan Yue didn't hear it, and only asked, "What time is it?" ”

The little palace maid replied, "It's already time."

"It's ......," Xuanyuan Yue repeated while still pacing. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and her eyes widened for a moment, as if she had found some rare treasure.

"There you have it, hurry up. Quickly find someone for this princess, this person will definitely be able to save Yun'er, and only this person can save her" Xuanyuan Yue hurriedly said to the little palace maid beside her.

"Who did the princess say?" The little palace maid asked curiously, but she doubted in her heart, there was still someone who could save people from the hands of the emperor?

Xuanyuan Yue stepped forward and whispered into the little palace maid's ear for a moment, the little palace maid exclaimed, "Yishang Yun, a humble little medicine girl, is Her Royal Highness the princess sure that person he will come?" ”

"You can go and tell the princess according to what she said, and you don't need to ask more," the little palace maid picked up the cloak with a suspicious face, and hurriedly walked out of the Fenghua Palace according to Xuanyuan Yue's instructions.

Xuanyuan Yue stood at the door of the dormitory, looking at the palace gate of Fenghua Palace, Yi Shangyun was kneeling by the door, but she couldn't go over to accompany her, because she knew that if she passed, Yi Shangyun would face a heavier punishment.

She didn't sleep all night, and at this time, she finally exhaled a deep breath and said to herself, "Yun'er, hold on a little longer, and your savior will arrive soon."

Who is this savior in Xuanyuan Yue's mouth?
