The news of Huaiyin's victory made the people in the palace rejoice, and this long winter seemed to be over all at once.

And now Gu Jue, who has made great achievements, is the queen's father, Lord Lin.

Lin Caohua sat on the phoenix seat, Gu Jiao brought a cup of soothing tea, and then said quietly: "Queen Mother, it's so late, you better rest quickly." ”

Her face was full of smugness, "After all these years of the Lantern Festival, I didn't expect this year to be the most alive year I have ever had." ”

Yu Zhiyan died, her father became a hero of great achievements, no one in the world can shake her status anymore, she has a prince, and there will be no regrets in the future.

However, before she finished speaking, the door of the temple was suddenly pushed open, but it was Feng Huang who entered.

Even though there were red candles burning in the hall, he was almost embedded in the black shadows, and his face was deep and terrifying.

Feng Huang glanced at Gu Jiao who was standing aside, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly retreated respectfully.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." There was a hint of complexity in the queen's eyes, and the heaviness of the luxurious phoenix robe on her body seemed to crush her thin body.

Feng Huang glanced at her lightly, "When I promised you the position of queen, you should know that you should stay in the harem well, but I didn't expect that your hand would stretch too far and you could kill people." ”

The queen's heart tightened, she thought that this matter was arranged seamlessly, but she didn't expect to be known by Feng Huang. She clearly blamed all this

to King Huai, but unfortunately she still underestimated his husband.

Lin Caohua didn't want to deny that she used to grow up at the border and was open-minded by nature, and these quibbles seemed a little clumsy and ridiculous.

Her feet softened, and then she sat on the ground, raising her eyes to look at Feng Huang, "The emperor came here so aggressively, did he want to dispose of the concubine?" ”

Feng Huang looked at her without a trace of expression on his face, "You rely on your father to make war exploits, so you are sure that I will not touch you?" ”

"The emperor disposes of the concubines casually, and the concubines have long been tired of this nominal queen. Everyone in the world praises you for your deep affection for your concubine, but in the eyes of your concubine, it's just a joke. The queen looked like crazy, raised her eyes and looked directly at Feng Huang, "But the concubine can still kill your sweetheart before she dies, and she can leave happily." ”

The anger in Feng Huang's eyes grew, "Don't worry, your phoenix position is stable, but your father can't enter Beijing alive to be rewarded." ”

"No-" The queen's eyes were full of horror, she crawled over and dragged the bottom of his robe, "You can't be so ruthless, the concubine's father is old, and he galloped thousands of miles to rescue Huaiyin City in the face of a national disaster, but you want to cook rabbits and dogs today." ”

She is crazy in shape, and she no longer has the dignity of a queen.

His cold eyes looked at her directly, "Your father is a feudal official, and he has made such a great contribution, letting him go back will cause a catastrophe sooner or later." ”

Feng Huang's worries are not reasonable, Lin Zhigen's power is too great, and there is a queen in the palace to rely on.

At least he can hold them while he is in power, but what about his son when he succeeds him? Although Moshu was raised under the name of the queen, he followed after all

Their Lin family has nothing to do with it.

At that time, the power of his relatives was too great, and his son could only become a puppet, and the world would eventually fall into the hands of the Lin family.

The queen cried pitifully, "Your Majesty, it is the concubine's idea to dispose of that woman, you just have to deal with me, I have no complaints." ”

Looking at his embarrassed wife, Feng Huang's eyes did not have a trace of pity, and even a trace of disgust.

"Don't worry, I will enshrine your father well, his respect, and several of your unsuccessful people will enjoy it." There was a coldness in his voice, "I will reward your brothers for their good lives, even if you are for their lives, you will sit on the phoenix seat well." ”

The queen slowly stood up, "Since this is the case, the concubine will thank the emperor for his grace." ”

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, the morning sun illuminated the red bricks and green tiles of the palace, and the golden flying phoenix in front of the queen's palace was plated with a layer of dazzling light.

Feng Huang turned around and walked outside the hall, the jade crown on his head rustling.

Liu Xuanwu, who was guarding outside, didn't know what was going on, he only vaguely heard the queen's cry, but he didn't dare to enter the palace to check.

waited for Feng Huang to push open the vermilion hall door and come out, but there was no expression on his face.

"Go to the East Palace to pass the decree, the prince is willful, and he doesn't have to ask the queen for peace without my will." Feng Huang opened his mouth casually.

At this point, everyone's faces changed, and this will is really strange. It seems that the prince made a mistake and punished the prince, but in fact, the queen and the prince will never see each other again.

Liu Xuanwu put away the puzzlement on his face, and only respectfully went to announce the decree.

The queen could hear it clearly in the hall, she was walking towards the phoenix throne and almost fell on the gold brick.

Yes, she killed Yu Zhiyan, how could she let her raise that woman's son again. But over the years, she has doted on Mo Shubai, who is not clear, but he still can't trust him.

Through the crack in the door, she faintly saw Feng Huang's bright yellow back, getting farther and farther away. She reached out to touch it, but her palms were empty.

She knew that she would be able to do a stable job as a queen in the future, but all this was not what she wanted.

Gu Jiao knew that something big was happening in the palace, but he couldn't see anything on Feng Huang's face at all, and after the emperor left, he hurried in.

saw the queen sitting on the phoenix chair, her head down, as if she was crying.

"Niangniang, why are you crying, Lord Lin has made a meritorious service, you should feel happy." Gu Jiao was busy persuading, but he didn't expect that when he mentioned Lord Lin, the queen cried more and more sadly.

"Hongu wants to go home." She suddenly muttered this inexplicable sentence.

"What do you say at this time, the palace is your home, you are the queen on the high, and all the women in the world will look up to you."

"No—" She cried out at once, her voice also hoarse, "this is not the home of the main palace, the home of the main palace is at the border. ”

In the past few days, because of the war, even the court has been spared. Feng Huang has become more and more disgusted with those useless courtiers, and even exempted them from entering the palace to celebrate.

He went straight out of the side gate of the palace and went straight to the narrow courtyard by the moat.

This was originally the courtyard where Yu Zhiyan and Arnold lived, and since they moved to the Chengguo Mansion, they have been idle, but Feng Huang still left the former maid here and cleaned it up.

When he came in, he saw the imperial doctor hurrying over, "Say hello to the emperor." ”

Feng Huang waved his hand slightly, with an indescribable tiredness, "How is she?" ”

"The arrow wound on his chest has been sewn up, but Weichen can't wake up Madame." The imperial doctor's face was full of sorrow, "Madame's head happened to hit the stone, and even if she woke up, she was not stupid, but she was crazy." ”

A pain crossed his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes, "Stand down." ”

After waiting for the Imperial Doctor to retreat for a while, he slowly moved his steps and walked towards the house.

When the curtain was lifted and the door was opened, a pungent smell of medicine spread out, almost choking into people's lungs.

Feng Huang slowly walked to the inner room, but when he saw Yu Zhiyan sleeping in the embroidered curtain, his face was pale and a little terrible.

He walked in slowly, then sat down on the bed, clutching her cold hand tightly in his palm.

"Zhiyan, I have never seen you so well-behaved and obedient." He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yes, since the Nan'an Palace's grace was severed, you haven't given me a good face again." ”

His fingers rubbed her delicate cheeks, "You just stay by my side like this, even if you sleep like this for the rest of your life." ”

The woman sleeping on the couch breathed more and more shallowly, as if she couldn't hear him at all.

Feng Huang's fingers finally landed on her lips, and then she let out a long sigh, "Arnold still hasn't heard from her, you let Bai Zhu'er take it."

Where did she go? ”

*************

When the first spring flowers bloomed in the capital, Gu Jue stepped into the city gate with the soldiers who went out to fight.

And Lin Zhigen, who also made great achievements, died violently on the way back to Beijing, and his eldest son helped the coffin into Beijing, covered with plain clothes.

It turned out that Lin Zhigen was slightly injured on the battlefield, but on the way back to the court, the squad was sick out of control. How can an old man withstand such a toss.

Even though the medicine rewarded by the phoenix was sent over like flowing water, Lin Zhigen still died on the way to Beijing to be rewarded.

On the day Gu Jue entered Beijing, he couldn't help but look at the crowd at the city gate, and the people praised Gu Jue as the god of war, guarding outside the city gate, just wanting to see this invincible General Gu.

Wei Hehe's soldiers poured into the capital like flowing water, and the silver armor of Gu Jue, who was the leader, was so abrupt in the crowd of thousands of people.

But he looked for the shadow of Yu Zheshuang in the crowd, and a fool like her would definitely come back from his nunnery.

Gu Jue's gaze swept over the girls on the side of the road, and then caused the girls to blush, with a shy look on their faces.

But until he led thousands of troops and horses to the gate of the palace, he still did not find Yu Zhiyan.

He couldn't help but sigh, she had such a temperament, so she didn't care to crowd with these people, and look at the excitement.

Feng Huang came out of the palace gate, dressed in a golden dragon robe, extremely noble. And beside him was a queen in a phoenix robe, with twelve golden steps on her head, and she rustled when she walked.

Her eyes fell on her father's coffin, and tears fell out of her eyes after holding back for a long time.

Feng Huang heard her low crying, and slowly turned his face, "Empress, after you become a country, no matter how sad you are, you don't have to cry in front of people." ”

The queen slowly raised her head and held back her tears.
