Chapter 10: The Prisoner
Wan Yan Zhao invited Tuoba Xu into the big tent. Re-Gift. "Don't give me a pretense! Kill and survive, whatever you want! Tuoba Xu looked unconvinced.
Quietly said: "Uncle Tuoba, Sister Hui is too bitter in her heart. Her husband and father were at war, and she couldn't live alone in the world if she hurt anyone. Let's give way, each of you, and get back together! ”
Tuoba Xu shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of not giving in, it's that I have an unsolvable hatred with Yan Zhao's father!" ”
His eyes were full of anger, "Many years ago, when my Liao Kingdom was attacked by the Bohai Kingdom, Wan Yanzhao's father saw death and did not save him. As a result, the Liao Kingdom was defeated, and the only prince died on the battlefield! In the end, he could only marry his daughter to the Prince of Bohai and the Crown Prince of Great Xia respectively, and ask for a temporary peace! ”
"What's the point of letting the next generation suffer with the grievances of the previous generation?" Quiet asked him.
Tuoba Xu was speechless for a moment. Outside the big tent, a woman ran in, looking like she was in her twenties. Although his body was covered with dirt, his face was gray. But I can still see that it is quite beautiful and moving.
She pushed away the guards who stood in her way, threw herself into Tuoba Xu's arms and cried loudly. "Qi'er, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me to go back in the royal capital? Qi'er hugged Tuoba Xu and sobbed and said, "The king is occupied by the prime minister, and he still wants to occupy me." I slashed him with the knife you gave me. Then I ran for three days and three nights to get here! ”
Tuoba Xu smiled and said: "It is worthy of being my queen of Tuoba Xu, and she is really heroic!" "Every time they hurt you, right?" Qi'er looked him up and down. "No, the son-in-law beats the father-in-law, he is lawless!" He quipped. Qi'er smiled.
Wan Yanzhao looked at her and shouted, "Lan Qi'er! Qi'er just stood up and said lightly: "Brother-in-law, now you are more and more like an emperor." The wife of the criminal minister congratulates His Majesty the Qing Emperor for unifying the world from now on! ”
Lan Qi'er leaned on Tuoba Xu's body. Closed his eyes and hugged him, "King, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." Don't run away while I'm asleep! Tuoba Xu burst into tears, "Aifei, I won't leave, I will always be with you!" ”
Quiet and Wanyan Zhao withdrew from the big tent with the guards.
"Pull out the camp, the class teacher will return to the court!" After Yan Zhao gave the order, the whole army acted together.
on the carriage. Tuoba sat dumbfounded. Lan Qi'er fell asleep in his arms. Tuoba Xu gently wiped the dust off her face. "Why don't you follow Yan Zhao and them? Your sister is now the queen! He whispered.
Lan Qi'er opened her eyes, "I am your queen, and I will accompany you as a prisoner in this life." ”
Sitting quietly on horseback, Wan Yanzhao put his arms around her behind her back. "Zhao, I have one thing on my mind. If I go to Zhongnan Mountain alone, you will continue to be your king. Then take all the sisters you drove away back to the Imperial City. Can you just forget about me? ”
"Don't say that, in this life, even in the next life, you don't want to get rid of me!" Wan Yanzhao said.
"Next life? Will there be? She turned her head. I thought, there will be, right? Wan Yanzhao looked at her eyes as clear as water.
In the late autumn of Chang'an, yellow and green are alternate. Withered leaves, a golden carpet spreads in the Imperial Garden. The green pines and cypresses stand tall in the cold north wind.
The water has begun to freeze slightly. The pond, where there are no ripples, is exceptionally calm.
In the West Warm Pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Concubine Lan, the current queen. sat face-to-face with Dou Lihua. Silence is on the sidelines. Concubine Hui hugged the little princess and watched the scenery at the window.
After being silent for a while, Queen Lan said, "Sister Dou, the emperor asked me to send someone to send you to Luoyang." Why wouldn't you want to go? ”
"Chang'an is my home. I'd rather die than go to that sad place! Dou Lihua said resolutely.
Quietly said: "Sister Dou, if you don't want to go to Luoyang, just go to Shangyang Palace with me, right?" Dou Lihua looked at her and said coldly: "How can I live with a father-killing enemy!" ”
Silence was silent for a while.
Concubine Hui pursed her lips and said, "Let's not persuade it." Wherever she loves, be there! I don't know what to do! "I don't know what's wrong? This woman let your father go, and you'll know what is wrong! Don't stand and talk without back pain! Dou Lihua said angrily.
"Let's go, let Sister Dou calm down, and think again!" Quiet said.
A few people had just walked out of the Imperial Garden. saw that Dou Yu was arguing with the crown prince Wanyan Hongji with Father-in-law Pi. "Let me go see my sister!" Dou Yu shouted. Father-in-law Pi was sweating profusely, "Girl." I can't let you go to her! Please take the prince back! ”
Wanyan Hongji saw Queen Lan come out, ran over and hugged her leg and said, "Queen Mother, let Sister Dou, go in?" The Blue Queen pulled him aside and said, "Did you bring her here?" Hongji nodded, shook his head again, and said, "My sister begged me to bring her." ”
The Blue Queen turned to the chamberlain and said, "Come on, send her to the Xinuan Pavilion, from now on, don't let her and her sister step out of this lake island for another half step!" ”
Quietly puzzled, he asked, "Sister, why are you doing this?" The queen looked at her and said, "One day, my son will ascend the throne." This little woman is a seedling who confuses the new emperor! ”
Quietly looked at her cold gaze and was slightly shocked. Jing thought in his heart: "Rights, what a terrible thing. ”
A year later. Chang'an City, surrounded by greenery and flowers. In the blue sky, there are white clouds. Under the sky, it is resplendent with gold.
Everyone in the imperial city was beaming. Everyone is running to tell each other that Mrs. Yue Guo gave birth to a little prince! Wan Yan Zhao announced that there would be amnesty for the world. Chang'an City celebrates three days and three nights.
Dou Lihua and Dou Yu were also released from the imperial city. The sisters, accompanied by two old palace maids, went to Jiangnan to settle down. Soon after the car left Chang'an, it was robbed and killed by unknown people. The fate of the two is unknown.
Wan Yan Zhao got the report and sent someone to investigate. Like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no news. The whole imperial city, only quiet, knowing.
For more than two months, Wan Yanzhao accompanied him wholeheartedly. handed over the affairs of the court to Wan Yan Lie to take care of.
Quietly touched his thin face that stayed up all night, and said distressedly: "Zhao, there are dozens of palace maids and grandmothers here to take care of it." You just rest, right? ”
Wan Yanzhao said: "I don't worry about how many people are serving you!" I have to watch you and the emperor every day. ”
