Chapter Thirty-Eight: Return to Yan Palace

I and I live a carefree life in this valley, we named this valley the Hidden Valley, and the life here is so quiet and relaxed, and there is no contention with the world.

One day, I went out to the mountains to buy goods, and came back and said that there was another war! It turned out that Yan Guo took advantage of Ran Min to attack Xiangguo in the south, attacked Wei again and again, and had already captured Jicheng, Youzhou and other places in Hebei. Although Ran Min is brave today, not long after the establishment of the Wei State, Ran Min has distributed all the grain in the treasury to the people, resulting in the army's lack of food and grass, and he has more than enough strength to deal with the Yan State.

Hearing that Yan Guo and Wei are at war, the two of us are in turmoil, Ran Min has a life-saving grace for us, and now that Wei is in trouble, of course we are restless. However, the two of us are also fleeing from Yan Country now, and it is still difficult to protect ourselves, but how can we help Ran Min! For a while, the two of us couldn't sleep well, and our faces were full of sadness.

Recently, Shen Zong frequently went out of the mountains to inquire about the war between Wei and Yan, and one day Shen Zong came back and said that some people said that Ran Min had died in battle, and his head had been hung above the gate of Dragon City, this news was like thunder, we couldn't believe it, how could Ran Min be as brave as Ran Min and die in battle?

In the end, we decided to go to the gate of the empty city to see if it was really Ran Min's head. On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, he went to Dragon City to inquire about the situation while it was dark.

After he took a closer look, he realized that the person was not Ran Min, but a false alarm.

Later, we learned that this was just a trap set by Murong Xue and others, in order to tempt Shen Zong to appear, and then secretly follow him, so as to catch turtles in an urn.

After returning from Zongzong, I heard that Ran Min was not dead, and the hanging hearts of the two of us finally fell. I specially prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate, who knew that this would be the last supper in the valley! We took out the jar of osmanthus wine, tasted the fine wine, blew the wind of the valley, and enjoyed the last tranquility.

Suddenly, countless fireballs fell from above the valley, could it be a meteorite? Shen Zong said: "It seems that it is not, eighty percent of us are exposed!" ”

Fireballs fell from the sky, and in an instant our thatched hut was set on fire!

"What should I do?" I asked him.

"Qing'er, there is only one exit on the south slope of this secluded valley, presumably now this mountain top has been heavily surrounded, and you and I will be arrested when we go out!"

"This is the happiest time of my life, and I don't want to live the same life as before."

"Then we will live and die together in this secluded valley, okay?"

"Good!"

I jumped into the lake with him and hugged each other tightly. The fire fell from the sky, roaring over our heads, and the surrounding was as bright as day, and our houses, our yards, the vegetables and flowers we planted were all burning. These four months of joy and happiness were re-screened in this raging fire, and we smiled and hugged each other, if we could, let our lives disappear with this secluded valley!! We are willing to die in this valley with our beautiful memories and our pure first love.

The fire burned all night, and when I opened our eyes again, it was daylight, and all the beauty around us was gone, surrounded by black pressure, bare mountains and charred trees. I and I were also embarrassed, and our faces and bodies were all black and white with smoke.

We looked around and found that Murong Xue was sitting on a tree stump on the shore with Erlang's legs crossed, and her guards were standing beside her. We couldn't help but take a breath. Her hair was tied high behind her head, and her beautiful face was staring at us with big eyes that made people hairy all over. She stood up, with one foot on the broken stake, and as she looked at us, she applauded for a long time, and the shrill applause echoed through the valley with a crisp sound. She gritted her teeth and said: "It's really a true love that is unswerving to death, it's touching!" Her eyes showed disappointment, disgust, and a strong desire for revenge, which made people shudder. As soon as Murong Xue waved her hand, Gao Guards and the others tied up the two of us, I have a bad premonition, this time this Princess Qinghe will definitely make our life worse than death!

We were taken back to Yan Palace again, back to the cage we had managed to escape!

As soon as I returned to the Yan Palace, I was begged by the prince, I don't know why Murong Xue didn't just kill me, she has always regarded me as a thorn in her side, and now she hates me even more, why do you want to spare my life? Shen Zong was still controlled by Murong Xue in her palace.

The prince's life is still the same, his current situation is embarrassing, it is not known whether the fetus in the queen's womb is a male or a female, everyone still maintains consistent respect for the prince, but everyone knows that if the queen gives birth to a prince, then Murong Chong will be a superfluous one, and I don't know if he will go or stay when the time comes.

I was always worried about indulgence, afraid that something bad would happen to him. About a month later, the news came that Murong Xue was going to get married, and the object of the wedding was actually a counselor who had been promoted to the head of the guard. I don't believe that Xun Zong will agree to marry Murong Xue, I really can't figure out how he could agree to this marriage. The wedding is said to take place in the first month of the following year.

As the days passed, I didn't hear any excesses in the indulgence, and occasionally I saw him well-dressed, nothing unusual, just his eyes evasive, never looking at me.

In November, there was heavy snow outside, Jiao Nu and I were studying ink for Murong Chong, and the prince was painting the first snow. Although there was snow outside, there was a stove in the house, and the house was gloomy. At this time, someone suddenly came to report that the queen had given birth to a prince.

The pen that Murong Chong had just lifted fell to the paper in an instant, and it was stained black, symbolizing that the prince was going to fall into darkness from now on...... In just a few days, most of the carbon that was originally supplied to Donggong every day has been removed, and we spend our days in the cold. I think someone did this on purpose, the purpose is to show the people of this palace, so that everyone knows how to do things in the future. Immediately afterwards, the monthly money, clothing and food supply were cut by half. This is too ** today's days, it is not as good as an ordinary concubine! Jiao Nu was not convinced, and wanted to go to the internal affairs commander to say, so that Murong Chong stopped him, he said, for today's plan, it is already good to be able to save his life, and he must not make any more extraneous branches!

It's too cold like an ice cellar, and he has always been pampered, and the pampered prince got a severe wind chill because of the cold, and he continued to have a high fever every day! Jiaonu went to the hospital to ask for a doctor, but the doctors always couldn't leave. In desperation, I had to watch the prince all night long, cool him down with a wet cloth, and use some of the medicinal herbs left in the palace to give the prince every day. The people in this palace also gradually became powerful, and some people actually resigned and took refuge in other palaces.

It's not a way to go on like this! It's so cold in this Tai**, even if the prince gets better, he will get sick again, and this Tai** is short of food and clothing, and it won't work at all in the long run.

I thought of Murong Xue, who ran to her Chaoxia Hall and knelt down, begging her to save her younger brother Murong Chong for the sake of her past feelings. She wore a heavy mink cloak and a fox hat inlaid with rubies, standing in front of me gracefully and luxuriously, she wore heavy makeup, scratched my face with her beautiful and sharp nails, and said word by word: "Zang Qing'er, from now on, I want you to see with your own eyes that these people you care about leave you one by one!" Then he turned and left, leaving me alone to kneel in the snow......

Helpless, I had no choice but to return to the East Palace and guard the prince. One day, Jiaonu said she was going out and didn't come back until midnight! The next day, Jiaonu's body was carried back, and it turned out that Jiaonu took her gold and silver jewelry and other palace people to sell them outside, wanting to exchange some carbon to keep the prince warm, but was discovered by the palace maid next to the queen, saying that she stole the palace property and beat her to death!

At that time, the prince had just improved, and the fifteen-year-old beautiful young man like jade was even paler and more touching because of his illness. When he heard that the slave was dead, he almost didn't catch his breath, and he lay on the side of the bed and coughed violently. After a long time, he knelt in front of Duan Zhaoyi's spirit: "Queen Mother, I can't stand you, I have failed to live up to your expectations, and now I have to give up this storage position!" The son is incompetent! But the son really didn't want to see someone like Jiao Nu die in vain. ”

The prince asked me to dress him neatly, dragged his sick body, and I helped him to Qixia Palace. He knelt down in front of the queen's couch: "Thanks to the queen mother's care and cultivation of her sons over the years, my son is grateful and cannot be repaid." However, the son has been weak since he was a child, his qualifications are mediocre, and he is really unworthy of inheriting the unification. Thank you! The queen's face bloomed with a smile, and she touched Murong Chong's face: "Phoenix, the queen mother hasn't hurt you in vain all these years, what you play will show you to your father, you are not in good health, go back and recuperate!" ”

Soon, the holy decree was issued: the prince was demoted to the king of Nanyang, given the palace of Nanyang, and moved the palace on a certain day. Set up the queen's son Murong Wei as the crown prince!

Soon, Murong Chong moved out of the palace, bringing only a few slaves and maidservants, and some relics of his mother and concubine! I've been by his side ever since.

Nanyang Palace, because Murong Chong's abdication is also quite quiet, although it is not as good as before, but it can finally be full, although it is bitter and comfortable! Murong Chong often joked that I asked me to find a powerful prince to be the master. I laughed and said, "You have to do it."
