Chapter 183: Keep the master safe and sound
β? οΌοΌ
"Ruoxi, how long will it take for this war to end?"
"How do I know, I've done my best, I can't wait for it to end tomorrow."
Ye Ruoxi leaned on Xuanyuan Yan's arms, feeling that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and there was not a single bone on his body that was not sore.
Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand, gently kneading Ye Ruoxi's shoulders, and put his lips on Ye Ruoxi's ear: "Ruoxi, it's too hard, do you blame me?" β
"What's the blame? This is what I should do, my husband, and I should live and die with my fellow sufferers. Great demon, said that in the future, we can still be like this, the two of us are together, only the two of us, rich and noble? β
Ye Ruoxi sighed softly, holding Xuanyuan Yan's hand with her backhand, knowing that Xuanyuan Yan was more tired than her, but she never revealed it in front of her.
"Of course, Ruoxi don't forget my words, hold my hand."
"Who knows if I'll be clutched tightly and kicked me away in the future."
"Ruoxi, that's not the kind of character, it should be the kind of person who steals, ties, and refuses to let go."
"I, am I going to do it?"
Ye Ruoxi is depressed, she is so reliant, is this big demon worthy of her being so cheap?
"Won't it?"
"Some things are not something that can be forced, and the melon that is twisted is not sweet, and I never want to force emotional things. Don't discourage me, big demon, or I'll never look back! β
The resolute tone made Xuanyuan Yan's heart tremble violently, and he grabbed Ye Ruoxi's hand tightly.
"Ruoxi, do you have no confidence in me like this?"
"Big demon, I'm really worried, I'm afraid of ......"
Ye Ruoxi got into Xuanyuan Yan's arms, put his face on Xuanyuan Yan's chest, and listened to the rhythm of Xuanyuan Yan's heartbeat.
"Great demon, if I become the emperor, what should I do?"
"Of course it's my queen, aren't you still satisfied, otherwise the emperor will be fooled?"
"I'm not interested, I don't even want to be a queen, I don't have any freedom, I can't go shopping if I want to."
"Don't worry, maybe you don't have to worry about anything."
Xuanyuan Yan's deep ink flickered slightly, Your Majesty, will that position definitely fall on him?
"Big demon, what are you worried about?"
"Nothing."
Xuanyuan Yan smiled, Ye Ruoxi could see that the smile was slightly bitter, and it did not reach Xuanyuan Yan's eyes.
"Great demon, is something happening in Jian'an City?"
"No, with my father-in-law here, how can something happen to Jian'an City. I'm just worried that if I continue to retreat like this, let the army of Risheng Kingdom go deeper and deeper, and finally whether I can annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, so that in the next ten years or even longer, Risheng Kingdom will not dare to face my Donglin Kingdom. β
"My cousin's battle plan was involved, and I don't think it's too big
problems. Although it can't be said that it will really wipe out the Risheng army, it will definitely cause them unbearable losses. Such a loss, with the national strength of the Risheng country, will never be able to recover without more than ten years. β
"Ruoxi, are you so sure?"
"What, don't believe me?"
Xuanyuan Yan shook his head, he didn't believe Ye Ruoxi, too many times, this unforgettable woman brought him surprises again and again, and turned the tide.
It's just that there are still some slight doubts lingering in his heart.
Her identity, her true identity, remains a mystery.
Since falling into the water, she has been so strange, so strange that he thinks she is another person. That doubt never went away, but he didn't want to think about it. In those days of life and death, from hostile strangers to familiar with each other, it was just a short moment, and her shadow had already been deeply engraved in his heart.
At first sight, the prosperity and splendid scenery were dim behind her, a coquettish smile in an instant, pure mountain spring-like eyes, bright and clear, faded away all the hustle and bustle, and returned to the basics.
Flowers bloom and fall, spring comes and goes, read the cold and ruthless of the world, see the moving faces of countless beauties, but never find such smiles and eyes.
A blue sky is like a clear sky, the clear mountain spring, gurgling through, a sight of the bottom of the shallow, so that his irritable heart immediately settled.
At such a first sight, he picked up the red cloth on her head, and there was a moment of distraction and stunned.
Turning to leave, her delicate smile and pure eyes were unconsciously engraved in the bottom of his heart.
"Ruoxi, it's a fairy or a goblin sent by God, who bewitches my heart, so that I can't leave before I know it!"
Xuanyuan Yan hugged the delicate body in his arms tightly, so hard, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, and the two would never be separated again.
"Great demon, do you believe that in this world, there is another space, space and world?"
"Another plane, plane, and world?"
Xuanyuan Yan pondered, already suspecting that her soul had been replaced by someone else's, but he didn't know how to understand.
"Perhaps, the world is so wonderful, I know too little, and what I see may be just the tip of the iceberg."
"It can be understood that my heart, my soul and my mind, come from another space and world far away, perhaps, one day ......"
Ye Ruoxi smiled and shook her head, pressing her face tighter on Xuanyuan Yan's chest, if there was a chance, would she leave?
"Another space...... Ruoxi, no matter where she comes from, can only obediently stay by my side and be my woman. Don't want to run away, even if you run away, don't forget, go with the master! β
The domineering and arrogant declaration, affectionate Ruosi, drunk Ye Ruoxi's heart.
"Boy, in the world of my space, men and women are equal, and men have to take the initiative to pursue women and win women
Cheerful. A man can only have one woman, and if he dares to steal his mouth outside, he will be kicked away by a woman and kicked out with a letter of resignation. β
"Nonsense."
"What I said is the truth, it really ......"
Lips, blocked by warm lips, Xuanyuan Yan lowered his head and kissed Ye Ruoxi's cherry lips, refusing to let go for a long time.
Ye Ruoxi was sour and soft, intoxicated by Xuanyuan Yan's hot kiss.
"Ruoxi, how are those arrangements?"
"More than half of the arrangements have been made, and it will take a few days, for the long-term stability of the coastline of Tanglin Kingdom, let my cousin delay it for a few more days."
"How sure are you?"
"Those who dare to offend my Dongling Kingdom will be punished even if they are far away!"
Ye Ruoxi waved her hand very vigorously, it was just a small island country, and she dared to make a mistake when she crossed here, if she didn't destroy these rabbit cubs, she would not be a thief.
"Well, you can consider destroying that island country and making the Risheng country disappear from the map forever. I think that at the beginning, this great and glorious plan has been brewing in my heart, and there is no chance to implement it, big demon, or we will send troops to prosper the country and destroy him. β
"Ruoxi, continue to sleep and dream!"
Xuanyuan Yan patted Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi was depressed, what is called a dream, it's not impossible, okay.
"Great demon, think about it, personally led the troops to march from the sea to destroy the Risheng Kingdom, and in the future in the history of the Tanglin Kingdom, there will be a heavy stroke!"
"Well, I'll think about it when this battle is won."
The night sky is deep, starry, and sparkling diamonds, set on a black curtain, shimmering with a cold luster.
The cold moonlight is like frost, sprinkled on the golden glazed tiles, paved with a layer of silver white, flashing and cold. On the curved cornices, the weeping beasts are lined up, silently guarding the palace in the moonlight.
The vermilion wall and blue tiles, behind the fading prosperity, how much desolation is hidden, all with the washing of the years condensed into a heavy and simple, standing in the cold wind in the middle of the night, witnessing the changes of thousands of years, the change of affairs and figures, and the change of dynasties.
The once prosperous was lonely in the dark night, silent in the darkness.
Behind the strict guards, the luxurious gate was pushed open, and in the soft light, the gorgeous splendid eyes were full of eyes, and they were about to be empty.
The bright yellow dignity can't keep the endless obsession, and it can't make the faint breath of life a little stronger.
Time flows like a passing water, taking away the spring and autumn fruits, and also taking away the vitality, leaving only a place of dusk, the last honor. The dragon flies to the clouds, the dignity of the past, in that soaring, dim, faint and sighing.
An elegant figure was silent
Entering the room, behind him, someone gently closed the door, and in the corner of the room, the black shadows knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and bowed, without making a sound.
Dressed in a light blue robe,
Embroidered with a few cyan bamboo leaves, without any official position and grade on it, it can't hide the nobility on his body and the terrifying aura of the superior.
The most ordinary clothes, dark black hair, and a handsome face as warm as jade, revealing the charm of an infinite mature man. A pair of phoenix eyes were so bright that people didn't dare to look at them directly, and their footsteps passed lightly from the ground without a sound.
The bright yellow curtain is opened, the brocade quilt is embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns, and the dragon cloud patterns are carved around, and the noble breath is blowing in the face.
On the dragon couch, under the brocade quilt, there was an old man lying quietly, his thin face was dull, his eyes were closed, the green tendons on his hands were bursting up, and he only had an extremely weak breath, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time.
"The Emperor's ......"
A slight sound overflowed from Ye Tianqing's lips, and he took his clothes and knelt down in front of the dragon couch.
Even the old man on the dragon couch, the emperor only had a faint wisp of breath left, falling into a coma and falling into a deep sleep, and every time he came over, he never had the slightest rudeness.
Stretching out his hand and holding Gong Qingtian's thin hand, Ye Tianqing smiled bitterly, internal force is no longer of much use to Gong Qingtian, and now Gong Qingtian is just relying on some kind of magic medicine to maintain a wisp of life.
"How long does the emperor have left?"
"Back to Xiangye, the villain doesn't dare to assert that the emperor's dragon body is only being maintained now, and it may ...... at any time."
A soft voice sounded next to the dragon couch, and a person kneeling on the ground bowed his head respectfully in reply, and after saying most of the sentence, he paused, not daring to continue.
"Do whatever you can to keep delaying."
"Yes, villain obeys."
In the dormitory, silence was restored, Ye Tianqing knelt in front of the dragon couch, and after a long time, he let go of his hand, slowly got up and stood up, stretched out his hand to cover the brocade quilt for Gong Qingtian, put Gong Qingtian's hand into the brocade quilt, and bowed back.
The curtain was closed, and the frail figure, the supreme of a nation, was separated behind the curtain, lonely and lonely, enduring the last pain of life.
"Your Majesty, you have suffered, for the sake of the crown prince, please bear with me for a few days. Hopefully, the crown prince can return as soon as possible, so that you will not continue to be alone and miserable here. β
Ye Tianqing sighed slightly, all he could do was to let the people invited to renew Gong Qingtian's life, even if he knew that doing so would make Gong Qingtian miserable, but he had no other good way.
Xuanyuan Yan did not return, the war in Donghai County was fierce, and he had already asked for an order to treat the emperor, and he got some medicine, so that he could continue to maintain Gong Qingtian's life.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning, on the golden glazed tiles, reflect the cold light, the dragon chair high above, carved exquisite dragon patterns.
The eyes on the dragon pattern stared at the civil and military ministers in the main hall with a cold gaze.
"Xiangye has arrived!"
With a long shout, Ye Tianqing wore an official uniform and walked in from outside the main hall every day at this time of day yes
The moment when he was dealing with government affairs in the Golden Luang Palace.
The civil and military ministers in the main hall knelt on the ground: "Humble to meet the prime minister." β
The footsteps slowly walked through the main hall, and finally stopped in front of Danqi, Ye Tianqing turned around: "Get up." β
The ministers got up and began to report on things, they had long been accustomed to it, and they went to Ye Tianqing every morning to report the state and military affairs, and obeyed Ye Tianqing's orders.
This kind of situation, starting from three years ago, has been intermittent, until this year, the emperor rarely has an early dynasty, and Ye Tianqing has come to handle all affairs instead of the emperor.
"Xiangye, should there be a decision about the prince? Now there are rumors, which is not good for the stability of the government and the opposition, and it is also not good for the prime minister. β
A minister asked in a tentative tone, and the eyes of the ministers all fell on Ye Tianqing, who to appoint as the prince, in their opinion, it was just Ye Tianqing's words.
"In this matter, the emperor has already left an edict, so there is no need to bother."
Ye Tianqing threw out a sentence in a cold voice, which made the hearts of the ministers rise.
This was the first time that Ye Tianqing had confirmed the existence of the edict in the early dynasty, which made the hearts of the courtiers even more chaotic.
"Dare to ask Xiangye, I don't know which prince was appointed as the prince in the emperor's edict?"
Ye Tianqing didn't answer, the phoenix's eyes were full of coldness, which made the ministers bow their heads deeply, and the ministers who asked the question bowed their heads in a panic, and bowed to the ground deeply: "Please forgive the prime minister, and make a mistake in his duties." β
"The emperor is seriously ill, and the country is invaded by the country's troops, you and others should do their own things, contribute to the country, be loyal to the king, and don't have a different mind."
"Yes, the lowly obedience."
The ministers promised in a low voice, no one dared to ask more, and the emperor's edict should not be asked more before it was announced.
Even though they knew in their hearts that only Ye Tianqing knew the content of the edict, that kind of thing was not something they should ask. As for whether there is an edict, it doesn't matter anymore, Ye Tianqing said that there is, even if there is none, there will be.
killed several ministers in a row, dismissed more than a dozen ministers, and degraded dozens of ministers, and the court was quiet at the moment.
The ones who can stay are either Ye Tianqing's henchmen and protΓ©gΓ©s, or Anfen's courtiers, or people who easily don't express their opinions and use treacherous cunning to protect themselves.
The courtiers reached a unanimous opinion, and those who dared to oppose Ye Tianqing at this time had only two ways.
Die, or be dismissed, degraded.
They didn't want to die, and they didn't want to be belittled, so they could only bow their heads to Ye Tianqing.
Although the princes were dissatisfied, they didn't have much power, and in this case, they didn't dare to openly fall out with Ye Tianqing and lose their last chance.
They only had the opportunity to see the emperor every few days, and they only glanced at it from a distance, knowing that their father was still alive. They are not even sure of this, because far away, they are only
It is to see that the weak figure of the father on the dragon couch, it is difficult to see clearly, whether the people on the dragon couch are still breathing.
There were many rumors, Ye Tianqing did not move, no matter what others said, he had already mastered the power of Jian'an City, and those rumors were of no use to him.
What Ye Tianqing cared about was every news that came back from Donghai County, Xuanyuan Yan's situation, the extent of the battle, the victory and loss.
"Dad, emergency military report ahead."
Kang Yuanbang hurriedly broke into Ye Tianqing's study from the outside, he was one of the few people who could break into Ye Tianqing's study directly.
"How?"
"Dad, the situation is very good, Ye Piaoling has already defeated the invading army of Risheng Kingdom several times, and those weapons in Ruoxi have played a big role, causing Risheng Kingdom to suffer heavy losses."
"How's the war going?"
"This is the battle report, as well as Ye Piaoling's handwritten letter to his father."
Ye Tianqing took it, opened it and looked at it, a light smile appeared on his lips, and his slightly frowning eyebrows stretched.
Kang Yuanbang came to Ye Tianqing's side and read the letters and battle reports together.
"Dad, this time the master will definitely be able to return with immortal military exploits, but I didn't expect that this time the Risheng Kingdom will exhaust the country's troops to invade the Tanglin Kingdom. If you know this, you should let the master come back after the last great victory. β
"I didn't expect that the master would not be able to come back now, otherwise he would be charged with escaping."
"Dad, how should this be arranged?"
Ye Tianqing sighed slightly, the emperor's dragon body was getting weaker and weaker, and I was afraid it wouldn't last long. What he was worried about was that the emperor would die before Xuanyuan Yan returned, in which case the situation would be even more difficult to control.
"Before the prince returns, the emperor can't leave!"
Ye Tianqing said heavily, smiling helplessly, if the emperor can't support it, the only thing he can do is to keep it secret, as rumored outside.
"Dad, the mobilized soldiers and supplies, as well as those weapons, have been sent to Donghai County in a steady stream, Dad, what's wrong with such an arrangement?"
"That's it for the time being, pay attention to the situation in Donghai County at any time, especially the master, and don't let anything go wrong."
"Dad, don't worry, you have sent someone to secretly protect the master, the last time the master entered the army of Risheng Kingdom privately to kill the general and capture the flag, the son learned afterwards that he broke out in a cold sweat."
"Father, let them keep an eye on them, so that their masters don't find out about their existence. If something happens, they will be dead, and they must ensure that their masters are safe. β
"Yes."
