Zhou Ziyu is really gone? Yan Lingyue only felt her brain and eyes buzzing. It's not that she doesn't want to go, she just doesn't have the strength to go, and in the end Selin dragged her onto the horse.

Along the way, Yan Lingyue didn't say a word.

Selin wanted to speak three times and twice, but looking at Yan Lingyue's distracted appearance, Selin, who had always talked a lot, rarely became quiet. Yan Lingyue was sent back to the Tilting Heart Pavilion and handed over to Mama Li before Serin left.

Mama Li and Dong Ling, who stayed in the palace, had already learned what had happened in the enclosure, and they also knew that their aunt was missing, and before Yan Lingyue came back, Mama Li had been crying for a while. If something really happened to the Nine Emperors, what should they do? Mama Li is worried about Zhou Ziyu, and she is even more distressed by her own miss. No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you have to cheer up at this moment.

"Dong Ling, hurry up and bring the meal," Mama Li helped Yan Lingyue into the room, "The princess must be hungry, Mama let the kitchen stew the princess's favorite soup, and the princess will want to drink more later." ”

Mama Li said, so she took a wet handkerchief to help Yan Lingyue wipe her face and wipe her hands again. Looking at his own young lady is like a wooden man, at her mercy. Mama Li's tears unconsciously flowed down her cheeks, "The Nine Emperor Princes will definitely be safe, Miss don't worry." ”

He said that he didn't worry, but how could he really not worry in his heart? Mama Li didn't even believe herself. Unexpectedly, my young lady actually nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry, grandma." ”

Not only that, but when Dong Ling brought the meal, Yan Lingyue also ate a lot of things. After rinsing her mouth under Mama Li's service, Yan Lingyue kicked her shoes and sat directly on the bed. Mama Li was worried that something would happen to her alone, and she wanted to accompany her, but she was urged by Yan Lingyue to leave the room.

The door was slammed shut, and the room became dark. Yan Lingyue wiped her face and felt tired like never before. This kind of tiredness is not physical tiredness, but tiredness that emanates from the bottom of the heart. At the moment, she just wants to get a good night's sleep.

……

At the same time, in a small mountain village far from the imperial city.

"Grandpa, can he still be saved?" A plainly dressed girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was using water to clean a man's scratches.

The white-bearded old man, who was called Grandpa, was now engrossed in helping the man bandage the wound on the back of his head. After wrapping the bandage, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, "Looking at this situation, he must have been seriously injured in the head a few years ago. Now that it has hit so hard, it can only be resigned to fate. ”

What the white-bearded old man didn't finish saying was that even if he woke up, he was afraid that he wouldn't be sober anymore, and maybe he would go crazy in the future. Of course, you may not wake up at all.

Dead horses should be live horse doctors. The white-bearded old man sighed and began to help the man bandage the sword wound on his heart.

……

Two days passed, and Zhou Ziqin led a large team of people to turn over the entire paddock, and there was no gain. The only possibility is that Zhou Ziyu fell off the cliff.

As for being captured, it's almost impossible. The entire paddock is heavily guarded, and if someone really catches Zhou Ziyu, it will be difficult to fly with wings, and it is impossible to find a trace.

King Zhou ordered to concentrate all manpower and material resources to find under the cliff. During the search for Zhou Ziyu, the accompanying officials, as well as the princes and princesses, have returned one after another.

After staying in the palace for another two days, King Zhou also returned to the palace. As the king of the Great Zhou, no matter how worried he is, no matter how sad he is, he can't stay here in Nanshan all the time. After all, there are still many political affairs waiting for him to deal with in the court.

And...... Although they don't say it, most people basically don't have hope in their hearts to find Zhou Ziyu. Falling from such a high cliff, even if there is still breath left, but after so many days, it must be more auspicious.

Compared with Queen Xiao's view of her son as her life, King Zhou was heartbroken and kept his sanity at the same time. Faced with Queen Xiao, who was reluctant to return to the palace, King Zhou directly ordered that Queen Xiao be forcibly dragged back to the palace.

Yan Lingyue, who had been in a trance for the past few days, returned to Ming Hanxuan again, looked around the familiar courtyard, looked at the empty room, and finally couldn't help hiding in the quilt and sobbing.

Zhou Ziyu is gone, the Zhou Ziyu who stupidly sticks to her all day is gone...... Yan Lingyue suddenly felt as if her heart was empty.

At this moment, she realized that Zhou Ziyu was so important to her.

From the moment she woke up and found that she had become the fifth lady of the Yan family, she was bent on uniting with Wang Renzhong and using Zhou Ziyu to take revenge. Later, when Wang Laoju surrendered, she was completely disoriented, and Zhou Ziyu was always by her side.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that on her own, the possibility of wanting revenge was very small. It is precisely because of Zhou Ziyu that she can constantly adjust herself and comfort herself. If not, she was afraid that she would be driven crazy by herself.

Invisibly, she has already pinned all her hopes on Zhou Ziyu.

On the surface, it seems that Zhou Ziyu likes her and chases her every day, but in fact, she relies more on Zhou Ziyu. In this strange imperial city, in this strange palace, it is Zhou Ziyu who has been protecting her.

Now that she suddenly realized that Zhou Ziyu was really gone, she really disappeared from her life, and Yan Lingyue seemed to have lost her spiritual support. She has never missed Zhou Ziyu so much as she does now.

No matter what others say, as long as Duan Minghong and Zhou Ziqin don't find Zhou Ziyu's body for a day, it means that he still has the possibility of survival. Yan Lingyue firmly believed that one day Zhou Ziyu would come back.

is also so convinced, and Queen Xiao.

But five days have passed, ten days have passed, and half a month has passed...... The searchers lost their patience, and everyone basically decided that the Nine Emperor Princes would definitely die. Even the king of Zhou gave up hope and recalled Duan Minghong and Zhou Ziqin to the imperial court.

The six tigers that Zhou Ziyu defeated had also been made into cloaks and sent to Queen Xiao and Yan Lingyue respectively. Queen Xiao was holding the cloak that her son had exchanged for her life, and she almost fainted. kept shouting Ziyu Ziyu...... The mental condition is worrying. The king of Zhou sent a physician to Weiyang Palace.

In the huge imperial city, the people are all talking about these things. In addition to lamenting Zhou Ziyu's suddenness, everyone is more pity for Queen Xiao, who loves her son, and Yan Lingyue, who has just married Zhou Ziyu not long ago.

In the woodcarving house, Uncle Wang and Wang Jinglan, including Ah Fei Xiaohu, each also looked sad.

Even more sad is the wife of Second Master Duan, Li!

In the Xinrong Garden of Duan Mansion, looking at his listless daughter, the Li family was both angry and regretful. I regret that I didn't go hunting in Nanshan with me. If she had followed, nothing as ridiculous would have happened.

Whatever the reason, it is shameful for a young lady in a boudoir to hug a man in disheveled clothes in public. What's more, it was my own daughter who took the initiative to post it! The Li family was about to die of anger, how could she raise such a confused daughter.

Second Master Duan was also angry, there were so many people watching at the scene, how could he let people say goodbye to his daughter in the future.

For this reason, General Duan also specially called the couple to criticize and educate. What's more important is that Duan Nianyun did not change his mind, and after being sent back by Duan Minghong, he also threatened not to marry the Nine Emperor Princes. The result was good, and then I heard the news that Zhou Ziyu had fallen off the cliff.

At first, Duan Nianyun didn't believe it, but later, with the return of the search team and the change in Queen Xiao's spirit, Duan Nianyun suddenly quieted down. But this quietness made Li unable to sit still. Seeing that his daughter was getting thinner and thinner, the Li family was sad, and he had to come to Xinrong Yuan several times a day, just hoping that Duan Nianyun would think about it a little.

Also worried is the prime minister of Yan Mansion.

As the news of Zhou Ziyu's death spread, the entire upper floor of Prime Minister Yan's Mansion was shrouded in a layer of haze.

For Yan Lingyue's daughter, Yan Yiran didn't pay attention to it before, but that was all in the past. Since Yan Lingyue got married, Yan resolutely didn't expect that she still missed this little daughter. Of course, the more I miss it, the more guilty I feel in my heart, and I regret that I didn't treat Yan Lingyue well.

Fortunately, Yan resolutely knew that the Nine Emperor Princes were really good to their daughters. No matter how this family affair was promoted, anyway, Yan Lingyue was quite satisfied with Yan Lingyue marrying such a good husband who knew cold and hot.

What he never expected was that his poor daughter had just lived a good life for a few days, and how could the Nine Emperor Princes die.

Thinking that Yan Lingyue became a widow at a young age and had no children by her side, Yan Yiran's heart ached. If Zhou Ziyu was the son of an ordinary official family, he could still think about letting Yan Lingyue remarry. But Zhou Ziyu is not only the prince, but also the lifeblood of Queen Xiao.

In this way, the matter of remarriage is not even thought about.

Yan was resolutely depressed, and the old lady kept sighing. Yan Zhihe, who was locked up in the yard, was happy when she heard the discussion of the maids.

Of course, this happiness did not last long, because the king of Zhou made a decree and married her to Prince Xuaner as a concubine.

After Yan Zhihe received the news, she almost didn't cry. Marrying the prince of Xuan'er means that she will stay away from the Great Zhou and go to southern Xinjiang. And I heard that the prince of Xuan'er has a group of wives and concubines, and there are many children. She has no status at all. What's more, the person she likes is Zhou Ziqin, and she wants to marry Zhou Ziqin as the third princess. How could the king of Zhou marry her to the prince of Xuan'er?

Compared with Yan Zhihe's shock, Yan Yiran and the old lady were quite calm, they knew that this was the king's punishment for Yan Zhihe.

When Yan Lingyue was kidnapped, Zhou Ziyu was also injured by an arrow, and several beggars identified Yan Zhihe. Regardless of whether there is injustice or not, Yan Zhihe's hostility towards Yan Lingyue is well known to everyone. At that time, because he was busy with the wedding of Zhou Ziyu and Yan Lingyue, King Zhou did not dispose of Yan Zhihe for the time being, Yan resolutely thought that King Zhou had forgotten, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, King Zhou actually made a holy decree again.
