The two people who once loved each other now have no courage to look at each other, one dare not wake up, and the other dare not open his eyes. Ying'e quietly listened to Yuan Ziyou's footsteps getting farther and farther, and she finally found that her eyes were dry, and there was not a single tear, maybe this is more mourning than death. When Yuan Ziyou went out to open the curtain, a gust of cold wind rushed into the house, making her sneeze, and she saw Yuan Ziyou's figure outside the door stop for a moment, and then quickly left.

Fu Zhi heard the movement in the house and knew that Ying'e had woken up, so she came in with the medicine, and looked at Ying'e looking out of the door with empty eyes, she said softly, "Queen Mother, that is, when you wake up, you will drink the medicine first, the emperor has called Imperial Doctor Zhao to come to check your pulse in a while." ”

Ying'e leaned on the pillow, shook her head slowly, and pushed away the medicine bowl handed by Fuzhi, "The body of this palace is fine, and there is no need for Imperial Doctor Zhao to come over." Just now the palace heard the emperor talking to you, isn't Xiao Songzi not very good, you go and take a look, the palace is here to let Yunzhi come in and serve. ”

"Queen, I" Fu Zhi thought for a moment and made up her mind, she took a step back and knelt down to bow to Ying'e, "Queen Mother, the slave wants to ask you for a reward." ”

Ying'e guessed Fuzhi's thoughts, she knew that this girl was as stupid as her, sighed, stood up, and asked with pity in her eyes, "Fuzhi, this palace is like a sister, this palace doesn't want you to miss your life, can you think about it again." ”

The slave didn't open her mouth to explain, but the queen knew the slave's thoughts, but she knew that the slave's mind had never been hidden from the queen. The slave has been thinking about it for the past few days, and she doesn't regret it, she just wants to accompany him through this last journey. The emperor initially asked the slave and maid about the meaning of the slave and maid, but the slave and maid felt that the marriage should be given by the queen's mother, so the slave and maid dared to ask you to fulfill it. Fu Zhi said in a choked voice, and fell to the ground after speaking.

Ying'e sighed, "Another stupid girl, if you don't regret it, this palace has a reason to disappoint you." This palace will give marriage to the palace, and it is good to give Xiao Songzi a joy. It's just that this marriage is in a hurry and can't be simple, let Li Guangan go to the Internal Affairs Office to arrange it, and the palace wants to give you a beautiful wedding, just like marrying your sister. ”

Fu Zhi bowed his head again and again, and retreated sadly. When Ying'e's edict was sent to Zhang Haosong, who knew that Zhang Haosong actually resisted the decree and forced Fuzhi to worship his brother and sister. The snow is flying, the tears are resting, sighing that it is difficult for Shuangyan to lead the ring, inch by inch, Zhang Haosong died with hatred two days later, Fuzhi sat alone in the mourning hall, and stood on the tablet with blood, "the spiritual seat of the deceased husband Zhang Haosong, and the virtuous wife Zhang Lifu branched".

At this time, the situation in Luoyang took a sharp turn for the worse, Yuan Ziyou mistakenly believed Yuan Ying, thinking that the Yellow River was urgent, and it was difficult for Erzhu Zhao to cross the river, and he forgot to cross the river by boat when he attacked Yuan Hao, and he did not expect that the water level of the Yellow River would drop that year, and the shallow place of the river was only up to the belly of the horse, and Erzhu Zhaotu led the cavalry to wade across the river. When hundreds of thousands of troops marched to the city of Luoyang, the sky and the earth changed color, the wild sand filled the sky, and the vision of the officers and soldiers defending the city was limited. Erzhu Zhao approached the palace without much effort, Yuan Ying and his inside and outside ordered not to resist, opened the palace door to welcome Erzhu Zhao into the city, Luoyang City fell, and the people were miserable.

On the Jiachen day of 531 A.D. (January 8), the army of Erzhu Zhao has gathered outside the gate of Chang Xuan, and the shouts shook the sky, and the palace could be heard. Yuan Ziyou was shocked to hear that the previous dynasty had lost the war so quickly in the Taiji Palace, the cup in his hand slipped and shattered, he sat on the dragon chair weakly, and repented of his mistake to believe in Yuan Yuan. Qiu Guan, who took over Zhang Haosong as the supervisor, saw Yuan Ziyou's scene, and cautiously approached and knelt on the ground to pick up the broken tea cup, trying not to make a sound.

Yuan Ziyou was a little decadent, his sunken eyes were full of red bloodshots, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Songzi, do you say that I am really not suitable for this emperor, and even the appointment is wrong." ”

Qiu Guan saw that Yuan Ziyou thought of Zhang Haosong, and couldn't help but have a sour nose, thinking that if the master was still there, he would inevitably use a bunch of stories to make Yuan Ziyou relax, and he was clumsy except for being able to serve with all his heart, but there was nothing else he could do. He was annoyed that he couldn't do it, and wondered how he would answer Yuan Ziyu's question if the master was still there.

Seeing that no one replied for a long time, Yuan Ziyou subconsciously remembered that Zhang Haosong was dead, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning tightly, he looked down at Qiu Guan who was prostrate on the ground, and sighed, "I actually forgot that Xiao Songzi is no longer there, just go and summon King Chengyang into the palace." Seeing Qiu Guan lying on the ground and not getting up for a long time, Yuan Ziyou was a little annoyed, "Now I can't even call you, I am still the emperor of this Great Wei, don't go quickly." ”

Qiu Guan trembled and whispered back, "No, no, the emperor, it's not that the slave doesn't go to deliver the decree, it's early this morning, and the slave has heard that the king of Chengyang has left the city with his family." ”

"What, he actually ran away?" Yuan Ziyou suddenly realized that it was too late, he never expected Yuan Hui to leave himself and flee at this time of danger, and the Yuan Eagle he strongly recommended opened the door and put Er Zhu Zhao, now he has really become a lonely person, and there is no one to escort him, he remembered that there is still Yuan Yu to rely on, and asked urgently, "What about King Linhuai?" Quickly, I will escort King Linhuai into the palace quickly. ”

As he was speaking, he saw Wen Zisheng holding the corner of his clothes, stumbling directly into the hall, seeing that Yuan Ziyou's official clothes were not tidied up, he knelt on the ground, his clothes pulled his body unstable and embarrassed, he raised his head and cried to Yuan Ziyou, "Your Majesty, King Linhuai wanted to enter the palace to escort, but was intercepted by Erzhu Zhao's army at Dongye Gate, Erzhu Zhao persuaded him to surrender, and then King Linhuai was unyielding to Erzhu Zhao's words, and as a result, he was beaten to death by Erzhu Zhao's order, and now his body was humiliated and placed in the downtown for public display. The ministers who did not have time to escape were expelled by Er Zhu Zhao, and asked the hundred officials to make a fuss to slander the emperor, and whoever made a good article would be let go home, and those who did not obey would be beheaded immediately. The minister ran fast, so he was not caught. Erzhu Zhao's army is only a stone's throw away from the palace, and the minister has already arranged for Yang Kan to meet him at Yunlongmen. ”

Yuan Ziyou's chest was like being hit by a heavy hammer, his chest tightness was abnormal, and when he saw that the general trend had gone, he stood blankly and was in a trance. Wen Zisheng was anxious when he saw this, regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, stumbled up, came to Yuan Ziyou in three steps, helped Yuan Ziyou and pulled him out.

Yuan Ziyou followed a few steps, and suddenly came back to his senses, "No, the queen has just given birth, I can't leave her, I want to take her with me." ”

Wen Zisheng listened to the sound of fighting outside the palace gate, his face was red and his ears were red, and the former Ru Ru and Ya were thrown aside at this time, "Your Majesty, the queen is from the Erzhu family, and Erzhu Zhaoding will not do anything to the queen, so don't worry about the queen." No matter how late it is, you really can't get out, after the minister sends you out of the cloud dragon gate, the minister will come back to settle the queen. ”

Qiu Guan saw that Yuan Ziyou was hesitant, and he also hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, the queen is weak after giving birth, and now it is not suitable for long-distance bumps. And the traitor will not be disrespectful to the queen, Lord Wen has always been thoughtful, the emperor still takes care of the dragon's body, goes out of the palace first, and then tries to move later. ”

"This time, I left her behind, and I'm afraid that the relationship between husband and wife will be completely gone, so let's take it." Yuan Ziyou no longer insisted, and followed Wen Zisheng out of the palace closely.

Everyone ran to the outside of Yunlong Gate and saw Yuan Hui who was running away on horseback, and Yuan Zi ordered Qiu Guan to call him loudly, wanting to escape by his horse's ass. Unexpectedly, Yuan Hui pretended not to hear it, and rode away with his family general without looking back. Yuan Ziyou couldn't wait for his feet, and was soon captured by the soldiers of Erzhu Zhao who heard the news, and was taken to Yongning Temple to be imprisoned on the same day.

In the palace, Er Zhu Zhao came in with his soldiers and arrived at the Taiji Palace. Er Zhu Zhao's lewd notoriety has long been known, and now that he has entered the palace, the concubines and palace women are in danger, and the harem has long been in chaos, and people with ways such as Li Yu's niece Li Hanru, Xing Tingyu, the daughter of Xing Shao, the Chinese scholar, and Gao Jingyue, the daughter of Gao Daomu, the lieutenant of the imperial history, have been secretly taken out of the palace by their families. And Li Miao's daughter Li Yu'er, who died heroically, and Yang Kan's nephew Queen Xiuyan, Jia Meiren, and Xi Yunu, who were fighting outside, were isolated and helpless, so they could only kneel in the Jiafu Hall to ask Ying'e for protection, and there was a cry outside the Jiafu Palace.

Ying'e, who was sitting in the main hall, quietly listened to Fuzhi say everything, she didn't say a word, she lowered her head and gently patted the child in her arms, the young child in her arms ate and smiled sadly, and the pink little face was very delicate. Ying'e carefully stroked her son's face with her fingers, with satisfaction on her face, coaxing the child from time to time, as if the crying outside had nothing to do.

Fu Zhi listened to the crying outside the hall, and couldn't bear it, so he had to speak, "Queen Mother, now you still have to make an idea, after all, the people kneeling outside are the emperor's concubines, it's not good, it's not good to be tarnished, and the royal reputation is tarnished." ”

Ying'e slowly raised her head, her eyes were empty, "Who can protect who now?" At this time and that time, my cousin is menacing, who can suppress it, do you think it's still Daddy here? The child in her arms seemed to feel her mother's worry, and she pouted and cried, and Ying'e thought that the child was hungry and wanted to eat, so she handed it to the nurse. She got up and straightened her clothes, "What you said is very true, they are the emperor's concubines, and innocence is important." ”

Fu Zhi hurriedly asked, "How did the queen mother save them?" ”

Ying'e's eyes became cold, and she looked at Li Guangan and said, "Good students send them on the road and hang them." ”

Fuzhi was surprised by Ying'e's edict, "Empress, you want to kill them?" Queen, think twice. ”

"Bengong is thinking twice, Er Zhuzhao's temperament, Bengong can't be clearer, now his morale is strong, and he can't listen to persuasion at all. Even this palace doesn't know what its ending is, these concubines can't protect it, it's better to let this brother of this palace bear the reputation of forcing the palace concubine to death, and he can't sit in this Luoyang City. Ying'e looked at Li Guang'an, who was hesitating, and scolded, "Don't go quickly, listen to the sound of killing, it's not far away, do it quickly." ”

Li Guangan was ordered to retreat, and the crying outside the hall was mixed with cursing and screaming, and gradually stopped. When Er Zhu Zhao rushed into the Jiafu Palace, he saw the corpses in the courtyard and was shocked by Ying'e's decision to kill, so he ordered the Qingwei Hall to clean up the mess and strode into Ying'e's dormitory.

Er Zhu Zhao was triumphant when he first entered the door, but he was defeated by Ying'e's eyes, that was a kind of contempt, this sister has been bold since she was a child, and he knows it very well. It's just that the laughter and play when he was a child have now become two opposites, if he had been in the past he would have lifted her up like in Yongning Temple, but now he was a little afraid of her eyes. Er Zhu Zhao collected the panic in his heart, and stood up and gave Ying'e a courtesy, "It seems that the queen is not as sick as rumored by the outside world, and the spirit of the ministers is very good, and she easily eliminated her anger for many years, but your emperor knows about it and doesn't know what to think of you." ”

Ying'e also saluted, "My brother still loves to laugh so much, the mother of this palace is the world, how can I be angry and jealous, but these concubines are taken in the name of my brother, and they choose to make their own decisions for their innocence, what do they have to do with this palace." But my brother might as well think about it, how to bear this matter of forcing the concubine to death, why do you block the world's mouths? ”

Er Zhuzhao realized that Ying'e's move also cut off his future path to become the emperor, and Er Zhurong succumbed to being a Tianzhu general because of the anger of the public, and this sister still only had Yuan Ziyou in her heart from beginning to end. "He is like this to you, and you are still planning for him step by step, but why? Even He Batsheng is willing to defend the faint king for your puppet. E'er, are you too stupid? Er Zhu Zhao couldn't help but call her nickname to keep the little family affection that was left in his heart.

Ying'e slowly approached, "My brother calls the name of this palace, that is, he still thinks that this palace is his sister, and this palace asks my brother to let him live, so that he can stay incognito and wander the world from now on, which is good." ”

"Impossible, I have taken him down, uncle's revenge, if you don't revenge, I will revenge. Now that he has been escorted to Yongning Temple by me, when the matter in Luoyang is a little calmer, and Yuan Ye enters the palace, Yuan Ziyou should go down to ask his uncle for guilt. Erzhu Zhao said viciously, "If you want to see him for the last time, my brother can fulfill you." ”

At this time, the child seemed to feel the gloom in the temple and could not help crying. The cry attracted Er Zhuzhao's attention, his eyes were murderous, Ying'e was frightened, and hurriedly protected her body in front of the child, pretending to be calm, "If my brother has made up my mind, my sister can't say anything anymore, the child is hungry, I want to feed him." It's inconvenient here, please ask my brother to go out first, and that person will not be there. ”

Er Zhu Zhao retracted his vicious gaze, he looked around, Fu Zhi looked at his eyes, and subconsciously stood behind Ying'e. Er Zhuzhao sneered and turned to go out, the moment the door closed, Ying'e's tense nerves finally relaxed, she took the child from the nurse's hand, and hugged it tightly, for fear that if one was not careful, the child would be gone.

Fuzhi was scared in his heart, but he comforted Ying'e on his lips. "Queen, he doesn't dare to be unfavorable to the prince, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha."

Ying'e couldn't help but shake her head, "No, you don't understand, he has no scruples, if this kid is here, it will be a stumbling block to his ascendancy, he will move away, he dare." The more Ying'e spoke, the more panicked she became, and her words were crying.
