Text Chapter 360: The Throne Settles (II)
"Flame...", Yan Ziyue saw through Xiao Yan's mind and wanted to step forward to stop it.
"Yue'er...".
"It's okay...", Yan Ziyue nodded at Nangong Yu, signaled him not to worry, got up and flew towards Xiao Yan.
"Flame... Where are you going"?
"I...", Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows and showed a sad expression.
"Flame...", Yan Ziyue stepped forward, took Xiao Yan's hand and said, "Everyone is waiting for you...".
Xiao Yan raised his eyes to look at Yan Ziyue, and the afterglow swept over the people below, and those pairs of expectant eyes were looking at him.
"Flame...", Yan Ziyue stuck into Xiao Yan, pressed one hand on his chest, stared into his eyes, and said gently: "You are gone, where can I find you"?
"I...".
Yan Ziyue stretched out her hand, pressed her fingertips on Xiao Yan's lips, smiled Yingying, and pressed her cold thin lips, lingering and affectionate.
After Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, he felt a strong heartbeat, and responded enthusiastically to Yan Ziyue's kiss, his silver hair gradually turned black, and he couldn't help but hug more and more tightly, for fear that he would disappear as soon as he let go.
"Ahh It hurts...", Yan Ziyue pushed Xiao Yan's chest hard, revealing a painful expression, and the wound on his chest was cracked, and some blood was oozing.
Xiao Yan saw a touch of Yin Hong in his eyes, and quickly let go of Yan Ziyue, and said with self-blame and guilt: "Yue, I... I'm sorry, I hurt you", said, the scene when Yan Ziyue was pierced by the soft green sword flashed in his mind, at that moment, I thought that I had really lost Yan Ziyue, and my heart was frozen, and now I can't help but gasp when I think about it, and I still have palpitations.
Yan Ziyue covered her chest with her hands, feeling that her heartbeat was getting slower and slower, and her body couldn't stand anymore, so she threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms and said, "Yan, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while...".
"Yue...", Xiao Yan panicked suddenly, and saw Yan Ziyue close her eyes, her body became weak, and she fell asleep.
Xiao Yan flew down with Yan Ziyue in his arms, looked at the ghost doctor and said, "Follow me...".
Nangong Yu dodged in front of Xiao Yan and said, "Give me Yue'er...".
The two confronted each other, and neither let anyone.
"Okay, it's important to save Sister Yue...", Xiao Huang saw it and rushed over.
Nangong Yu and Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Huang at the same time, silent, with a trace of guilt in their eyes.
Nangong Yu took a step back, got out of the way, and watched Xiao Yan walk away with Yan Ziyue in his arms, only then did he remember to follow.
On the Cold Flame Stage, Xiao Yan looked at the ghost doctor and said, "How"?
"Nothing... The heart rate is relatively slow, there is some blood loss, it seems that he is just asleep, but the pulse is like it, one person has three pulses, it is not the twin children who are pregnant", the ghost doctor said, there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he was afraid that no one would believe him if he said it, so he didn't say it.
"What do you say"? Xiao Yan asked, staring at the ghost doctor.
Only then did the ghost doctor react, and he was quick to speak just now.
Nangong pardoned in, walked to Yan Ziyue's side and held her hand, looked at her, ignored Xiao Yan's fierce eyes, and didn't want to deal with it.
"Ghost doctor, Yue, she's a few months pregnant..."? Owl Flame said angrily.
When the ghost witch heard this, he quickly gave the ghost doctor a look and motioned him not to say anything, but the ghost doctor didn't see it at all, so he blurted out: "It's been more than four months...".
"More than four months...", Xiao Yan repeated in his heart, counting that he had been away from Fengdu for more than four months, and he had been close to Yan Ziyue before leaving, he was overjoyed, looking at Yan Ziyue's face, his eyes became more and more gentle and spoiled, but he was very unhappy when he saw Nangong Yu's intimate behavior towards Yan Ziyue.
"Sister Yue is pregnant? Is it Brother Nine's? If it's the ninth brother's, then I'll be the little nephew", Xiao Huang said happily.
Nangong Yu listened very harshly, his eyes swept over Xiao Huang, and there was anger in his eyes.
Xiao Yan was very happy when he heard this, and announced domineeringly: "Huang, you are right, you have a little nephew, and the child is mine."
The ghost listened from the sidelines, sullen and sad.
Nangong Yu glanced at Xiao Yan angrily, picked up Yan Ziyue and was about to leave, but was blocked by Xiao Yan.
"Where are you going to take my woman and my children"?
"You'd better figure it out, Yue'er is not yours, she is the princess of Huofeng, her wife, and the one in her belly is my child, I want to take her back to Fengdu, and you have no right to stop her."
"Hmph... You don't want to take her away," Flame threatened.
"Then just try it", after Nangong pardoned speaking, the aura on his body suddenly entered a state of alert, and Xiao Yan was not to be outdone, and immediately showed his readiness to face the battle.
"That's... Lord, under the South Palace, His Royal Highness Yue is pregnant, and his body is already heavy, from Fengdu all the way to Xiaojing, he is already tired and tired, and he is injured again, can you fight again, let His Highness Yue have a good rest, and when she is well, what is the matter, it's not too late to say it again", Beihai, who has not spoken, really can't stand it, so he boldly came forward to persuade.
At this time, Manager Li, An Lu and others also came, looking at everyone, their eyes swept over Xiao Yan and Nangong Amnesty, and fell on Yan Ziyue, who didn't know the situation, and it was difficult to ask.
"Nine Emperor Princes, it's great that you're fine, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Changle Palace...", Mr. Li said.
Xiao Yan was silent for a while, his eyes staring at Nangong Yu, as if warning him.
"Nine Emperor Princes, go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry", Mr. Li said.
"Hmm...", Xiao Yan nodded, turned around and entered the inner room, briefly freshened up, changed into clothes, walked out of the cold flame platform, and turned to An Lu and the others who came out before leaving the hospital: "You stay, you must not let Nangong pardon take people away, if I come back and can't see the moon, only you ask."
"Yes...", An Lu and the others responded on one knee.
Leng Yantai, as soon as Xiao Yan left, Nangong Yu wanted to forcibly take Yan Ziyue away, An Lu and others hurriedly stopped him, but they were afraid of hurting Yan Ziyue, so they didn't dare to do it, and they were very helpless.
"Under the South Palace, where do you want to take His Royal Highness of the Moon?" Beihai stepped forward and asked.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of Yue'er."
"Brother Nangong, there is the best imperial doctor in the palace, not to mention, there is no safer place than the palace now", Xiao Huang told the truth, now the palace has been taken over by the direct family of the imperial guards and An Jiajun, and Xiao Jing is still in the process of suppressing the rebellion.
Nangong Yu glanced at Xiao Huang, the young man in front of him, who was somewhat similar to Xiao Yan, did not have Xiao Yan's cold arrogance and domineering, but he was a little more gentle and elegant.
"I can't let Yue'er stay here...", Nangong Yu insisted.
"This...", Beihai was helpless, looked at Xiao Huang and said: "Eleventh prince, is there any other place to go?"
"Hmm... That's okay, Brother Nangong, you take Sister Yue and me to live with me in Chufang Palace, and my mother."
"No...".
"Hmm... Brother Nangong, Brother Jiu, he usually doesn't go to Fanggong Palace, because he doesn't like it there...", Xiao Huang saw Nangong Yu's obsession, but it was difficult to tell the truth, so he had to change his statement.
"Yes, under the South Palace, you should go to the Tsuifang Palace first, and wait for His Highness the Moon to wake up, and then make plans", Hokkaido.
Nangong Yu thought for a while, looked at Yan Ziyue who was sleeping in his arms, and said, "Okay."
"Great, then let's go", Xiao Huang was very happy to walk in front and lead the way, Beihai accompanied him all the way, An Lu and the others thought about it and didn't stop it anymore.
"Let's go back too," the ghost said, helping the ghost.
"Hmm...", the ghost doctor and the ghost witch replied.
An Lu looked at the four of them, smiled slightly, turned to the east and said, "Come east, you send them back to the Marshal's Mansion."
"Hmm...", Donglai responded, leading the ghost and the others away.
"Nanshan, West Wind, you go over to the Fang Palace to have a look", An Lu was still a little worried.
"Got it", Nanshan responded and left with the west wind.
In the Fang Palace, the maids and eunuchs have almost cleaned up, everything is back to normal, the overall feeling is simple and elegant, Xiao Huang let Nangong Yu and Yan Ziyue live in the South Courtyard, the environment here is quiet, and he ordered people to add a lot of things.
Concubine An was still injured, and when she heard that Yan Ziyue was coming, she came to visit her in person.
"Mother, why are you here"? Xiao Huang was very surprised.
"I'll take a look...", Concubine An was full of curiosity about Yan Ziyue in her heart.
Xiao Huang whispered in Concubine An's ear: "Mother Concubine, Sister Yue has the flesh and blood of the ninth brother."
"Huang'er, don't talk nonsense."
"Mother, I didn't talk nonsense, he admitted it to the ninth brother."
"Yan'er... Confessed... Is it true"? Concubine An's heart trembled when she thought about it, and she felt very bad.
In the bedroom of the South Courtyard, the arrival of Concubine An also surprised Nangong Yu, and treated each other politely, not to say anything.
Concubine An just glanced at it from a distance, and sighed in her heart: "Sure enough, she is a beautiful and refined woman", walked closer, sat on the side of the soft couch, and looked carefully, her eyes stayed on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and she became more and more worried.
Changle Palace, Xiao Ji talked to Xiao Yan for the first time like a loving father, and also explained a lot of ways to be a king, Xiao Yan wanted to bluntly say that he had no intention of taking the throne, but looking at Xiao Ji with a dying look, he hesitated, and when he decided to speak, Xiao Ji coughed violently, coughed up blood, and didn't come up in one breath, so he went.
The people in the first hall all knelt down and wept silently, because the flames were there, and they did not dare to raise their voices.
Lan Jia handed over the edict and the jade seal to Xiao Yan, and a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty the new emperor, mourn!"
Xiao Yan didn't have the slightest sadness on his face, but there was a trace of embarrassment, as if he had received a particularly big trouble, looking at the edict and jade seal in his hand, he wanted to throw them willfully.
Mr. Li was still wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, feeling very relieved, never at ease, as if from this moment in this life, he was really relaxed, and he didn't have to walk on thin ice like before.
Outside the Changle Palace, many civil and military officials knelt there, their faces were all sad, true and false, no one could see the truth, only their hearts were clear.
Manager Li came out to report the funeral, and everyone cried loudly, only An Lu stood silent.
Guo Pei, the waiter, moved his body, approached Manager Li and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your last words?"
"Lord Guo, you have to ask the Nine Emperor Princes, before Your Majesty returns to heaven, you will only talk to him alone."
When Guo Pei heard this, he showed an embarrassed look on his face and retreated silently.
An Lu glanced at everyone: "Okay, you all go back."
When the ministers heard this, they all got up and left one after another, but An Lu did not leave, but entered the Changle Hall to find Xiao Yan.
On the day of the funeral, Xiao Yan handed over the national funeral capital to An Lu and General Manager Li to deal with, on the condition that he promised that after the national funeral, he must take the throne immediately, otherwise he would immediately send troops to escort Yan Ziyue back to Fengdu.
Xiao Yan was not a threatened person, but when An Lu said that he was on the throne, he told him about his life experience, he was a little moved, and he agreed for the time being.
As soon as An Lu left, Xiao Yan immediately left everything behind, came to Lengyan Terrace, and as soon as he heard that Yan Ziyue had gone to Zhufang Palace, he hurriedly chased after him.
In the Fang Palace, before Xiao Yan entered the South Courtyard, he was stopped by Qu Niang and invited to the residence of Concubine An in the West Courtyard.
In the west courtyard, Concubine An saw Xiao Yan greeted her with joy, stretched out her hand in the air and put it down, and bowed her head in embarrassment: "It's good to see that you're okay."
"Well, what's wrong with you"? Xiao Yan asked expressionlessly.
"I... I've seen the princess of the fire phoenix, what a beautiful and aura woman", Concubine An said, looking up at Xiao Yan's reaction from time to time, and seeing that there was a hint of joy hidden on his face, she continued: "Yan'er, the child in her belly, is it really yours?"
Xiao Yan stared at Concubine An for a moment before replying, "What do you want to say?"
"I... You will be the emperor of freedom, she will be the princess of the fire phoenix, between you...".
Concubine An was interrupted by Xiao Yan before she finished speaking, and said with a slight anger: "So what"?
"This...", Concubine An was stunned, looked at Xiao Yan for a while, and then said: "Yan'er, I'm just for your good, I don't want you to be hurt in any way...".
"That's enough, you don't care about this matter anymore", Xiao Yan turned around and left.
"Ninth brother...", Xiao Huang walked towards him, looked at Concubine An, who was already in tears behind Xiao Yan, and felt distressed, stopped Xiao Yan and said: "Ninth brother, how can you talk to your mother like this, you make your mother cry."
Xiao Yan paused in his footsteps, threw down a sentence: "Huang, then you can accompany her more for me", and then walked away.
In the South Courtyard, Xiao Yan came to the bedroom where Yan Ziyue was, and saw Nangong Yu sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her, the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes made people angry.
Xiao Yan came in, Nangong Yu turned his head and said, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yan walked towards Yan Ziyue without squinting, and he could ignore the existence of Nangong Yu.
"Let's go, you're not welcome here...", Nangong pardoned up and stretched out his arm to block in front of Xiao Yan.
Beihai saw Xiao Yan coming in from a distance, and hurriedly chased after him, and when he entered the room, he saw Xiao Yan and Nangong Yu Zheng looking at each other angrily, and secretly thought: "Oh no, why did this person bump into it again", and walked over and said: "That... His Highness Moon is still resting, isn't it...".
Nangong Yu glanced at Beihai, then turned his head to look at Yan Ziyue's sleeping face, clenched his fists, turned to leave, and Beihai hurriedly followed, leaving Xiao Yan in the room.
"Under the South Palace... Our Lord is on Him...".
"I know... When Yue'er wakes up, we'll leave."
"Oh...".
"Will you help us?" Nangong Yu turned to look at Hokkaido.
Beihai smiled embarrassedly and did not answer directly.
After a while, Xiao Yan left, Beihai sent Xiao Yan out of the Fang Palace, and said softly: "Lord, next time you want to come to see His Highness Yue, you can tell me first, and I will help you spend the South Palace...".
"Do I need to spend him"? Flame asked rhetorically.
"No, Lord, I mean...".
"Okay, I know", Xiao Yan took a few steps and turned his head to look at Hokkaido: "If the moon is awake, remember to tell me as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord."
After that, the national funeral was five days away, and after the national funeral, it was the enthronement ceremony of Xiao Yan.
On the eve of the ceremony, Xiao Yan deliberately left An Lu.
"Uncle, can you tell me now? What is the secret of my origins"?
"The Nine Emperors can't have forgotten the agreement between us. After the enthronement ceremony, I will tell you, now, no."
"Uncle, do you want me to be the emperor so much?"
"Nine Emperor Princes, you are a royal family, this is your responsibility. Besides, the eleventh prince is still young, and only if you sit on this dragon chair, he and your mother can be saved. I believe that you have the ability to make Xiaoyao go to a more prosperous world."
Xiao Yan looked at An Lu, and saw that he was honest and sincere when he said this, without the slightest selfishness, so he didn't refute anything.
"Nine Emperor Princes, there is one more thing, you won't know it, when His Majesty the Emperor was in power, his biggest long-cherished wish was to unify Heding and make Xiaoyao Country the only master, then the Fire Phoenix Country will be attached to us sooner or later, when the time comes, just a fire phoenix woman, you like it, accept it", An Lu really thought so when he said this, he didn't think that this was in line with Xiao Yan's mind, but calling Yan Ziyue a fire phoenix woman made Xiao Yan feel very unhappy.
Xiao Yan was busy with the next day's ceremony, and was disturbed by waves of trivial matters until the second half of the night, so he couldn't come to see Yan Ziyue.
In the evening of this day, Yan Ziyue finally woke up, fell asleep for seven days, and only ingested some ginseng soup.
As soon as Beihai ran out, he ran into Concubine An, who had already come to the South Courtyard, and was stopped by Concubine An.
"Beihai, where are you going"? Concubine An asked.
"I'll go and tell the Lord that His Highness Moon is awake."
"Don't go yet, tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, and after the ceremony, tell Yan'er", Concubine An said.
"This....", Beihai is very embarrassed.
Nangong Yu walked out at this time and said, "She's right, you better wait for the ceremony to pass before you go." I think he's too busy to worry about Yue'er right now."
"Well...".
"Can I go in and see her"? Concubine An looked up at Nangong Yu and asked.
Nangong Yu thought about it and didn't answer, but turned sideways, took a step out of the way, and let Concubine An pass, who would have thought that after Concubine An went in, she stayed for several hours, and she didn't come out until about the hour.
Nangong pardoned in, and when she saw Yan Ziyue's melancholy look, she asked, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Did Concubine An tell you something?"
"No...", Yan Ziyue looked up and smiled.
Out of the South Courtyard, Qu Niang said to Concubine An: "Niangniang, is it a bit risky for us to do this, do you think she will agree?" If this matter was known to the Nine Emperor Princes, he was afraid that he would... Blame you."
"Blame me, blame me, I'm his mother, I need to protect him, no matter what I have to bear, I'm willing."
"Niangniang...", Qu Niang couldn't say anything, even if she did, she couldn't listen to it, so she helped Concubine An to the west courtyard.
