The death knell sounded in the imperial city, Yan Qishao, who heard the news, hurried over, and saw Bo Yan standing on the top of the city tower, listening to Mama Yang's sad voice slowly reading out the holy decree, Yan Qishao frowned, knelt on the ground, he had planned very carefully, and also sent people to closely observe the movements of the Bo family, but he didn't expect that it was Qian Wei who made a bird, when did he unite with Bo Yan, he was originally responsible for guarding the ring of the palace gate, but Yan Dashao wanted to scramble for the sake of inviting merit, sure enough, how could he control such a scene.

Mama Yang continued to read out the edict, which is roughly that the crown prince Zhao Xueyan inherited the throne, the Bo family was a product to protect the country and the prince was an adult, and Emperor Jiahe was buried in the same tomb with Empress Yongtai after his death.

The death knell sounded everywhere in the city, every house lit up the lamps and candles, all the hazy sleepy eyes came to the Suzaku long street and knelt on the ground, every house hung up white lanterns, and the whole capital was shrouded in a thick sadness, and the crying and sobbing sound of truth or falsehood resounded through the streets and alleys.

The autumn wind was bleak, the thin rouge's cloak was blown hunting, looking at the silver and white eyes and the little starlight in the sky, Bo rou's eyes fell into the void, as if a stone had fallen to the ground in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, it was already autumn, and the matter finally came to an end.

Bo Yan slowly raised his hand to signal everyone to flatten down, and everyone got up, but only one person sat in place - Yan Dashao.

Yan Dashao looked at the head in the corner in a daze, the whole person trembled like a sifting chaff, and his body was damp, and he was actually peeing his pants in fright.

Yan Qishao reluctantly stepped forward to help him up, and pushed him behind him, Yan Dashao no longer had the arrogance of the past, and obediently retreated behind Yan Qishao.

Bo Yan fell his gaze on Yan Qishao, his eyes intersecting, one indifferent and the other complicated.

"The eldest young master of the Yan family seems to be frightened?" Bo Yan opened his mouth and instructed his subordinates to dispose of Yao Yu's body.

Yan Dashao looked at Bo Yan in a daze, who had not recovered from the fright just now, and forgot the etiquette, so he didn't answer for a while.

Yan Qishao clenched his fists at the right time and said: "The eldest brother has never seen such a scene, he was rude in front of the queen, and Weichen apologized to the queen on behalf of the eldest brother." ”

Bo Yan smiled: "The palace edict, if there is a disobedience, cut first and then play, this Yao Yu is too pedantic," his eyes fell on the black and oppressive Praetorian Guard, and he raised his eyebrows lightly and said coldly: "Among them, there are many people who are responsible for patrolling the palace, these three watches in the middle of the night, you are not patrolling in the palace, what are you doing at the city gate." ”

The Praetorian Guards hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, repeating their mistakes.

"Niangniang, Weichen is also on the orders of the leader."

"Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't know!"

"Mother's forgiveness!"

And so on and on.

Bo Yan slowly waved his hand and frowned: "The emperor has just died, and the palace does not want to cause trouble because of you, so all the Praetorian Guards will be punished with thirty rods, fined for half a year, and the captain of the city patrol will be imprisoned." ”

Qian Wei clenched his fists: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"The leader of the Forbidden Army is dead, but why did he do this? I am not afraid of being pursued by the emperor and the palace tomorrow. Bo Yan's words seem to be interrogative, but the tone is like an affirmative sentence.

Qian Wei smiled coldly and took a step forward: "Yan Dashao and Yao Yu looked very familiar with each other just now, why Yao Yu did this, Yan Dashao should know." ”

"Me?" Yan Dashao was shocked and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no!" I don't know! I don't know anything! ”

"Oh? I really don't know? Just now, Yan Dashao didn't say that he told the official to go home, and tomorrow you will report to the queen. Qian Wei continued.

"You, you, you! You are talking nonsense! Yan Dashao said angrily.

Yan Qishao took Yan Dashao's hand at the right time, turned to Qian Wei and saluted: "My brother also wants you to make peace with Leader Yao to turn the fight into a jade silk, it may be a bad word, but after all, it is a good intention, and I hope that the Lord Haihan." ”

Qian Wei stared at Yan Qishao silently.

Yan Dashao nodded violently at the thin rouge on the city wall, for fear of setting himself on fire.

Bo Yan sneered: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then forget it, but this palace really has to sigh that the Yan family has a deep brotherhood, and Yan Qishao rushed over in a timely manner, which is really coincidental." ”

Major Yan Qi's body leaned lower, and Yan Dashao hurriedly followed suit.

Above the city tower, the thin smile was cold, and under the city tower, Yan Qishao's face was cold, this battle was immediately visible.

Bo Yan ordered Qian Wei to temporarily take over the Praetorian Guard, re-arm the palace, and then take Zhao Xueyan back to the palace, while Mama Yang rested in the warm pavilion and was ready to serve at any time.

Zhao Xueyan stood in place with blinking eyes, and had no intention of resting.

Bo Yan moved his stiff back and smiled at Zhao Xueyan: "There are too many things that happened this night, you should rest early, I will take you to meet the hundred officials tomorrow, there are many things to do next, and your body is important." ”

Zhao Xueyan thought for a moment, then came to Bo Yan and sat down.

Bo Yan pointed to the chaise longue on the side and said, "The palace will rest here tonight, and in extraordinary times, you and I should not be separated." ”

Zhao Xueyan pursed her lips: "Men and women don't kiss." ”

Bo Yan was packing up the futon, and after listening to Zhao Xueyan's aggrieved and cowardly voice, he laughed again: "The people are not big, they are very pedantic, they all say that they are mother and son, and there is a screen in the middle." ”

Bo Yan said as he pointed to the glass screen on the side.

Zhao Xueyan looked at Bo Yan with a blank look.

Bo Yan put down the futon and sighed lightly: "Tonight is special, your father has just passed away, you have seen the scene just now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other changes, this palace is a little worried, so I will only accompany you tonight, but it's good." ”

Zhao Xueyan nodded with a red face, thought for a moment and said, "...... them Are you trying to kill me? ”

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows: "They? Who? ”

Zhao Xueyan raised his head: "Yan family." ”

Bo Yan looked at Zhao Xueyan with interest: "Oh? What do you see? ”

Zhao Xue said: "The Yan family bought the leader of the forbidden army to guard the palace gate today, and the news of his father's death was not allowed to spread. ”

"How do you tell?"

"Let's go all the way from the palace gate of the dormitory, thanks to the guards around the queen mother, the janissaries who should have protected us have no role at all, but there is a blocking posture, but it should also be hindered by the guards around us, so we dare not show too obviously, if there is no queen mother to prepare manpower early, we will be intercepted if we can't walk at the city gate."

Bo Yan smiled and raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Zhao Xueyan continued to analyze: "Besides, now is the time when it is almost ugly, how can the eldest young master of the Yan family not pick this hour to hang out at the city gate. ”

Bo Yan smiled and pouted: "That's all? Do you think of why they do this? ”

Zhao Xueyan was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, they want to kill me?" Seeking the throne? ”

Bo Yanzai leaned back on the chair, found a comfortable posture and continued: "Killing you is not justifiable, how can they do this, the reason why they are like this is just to create the illusion that the palace is plotting to kill the emperor, kidnapping the prince, and plotting against the country of Zhao at that time, and then there will be a legitimate reason to attack the palace and the family members of the palace." ”

Zhao Xueyan was stunned: "They want to kill you?" But why? I am the heir to the throne. ”

Bo Yan smiled: "How old are you, how can you be convinced if there is no one to assist everyone, if the Bo family is accused of being convicted because of this, then the auxiliary minister will naturally fall into the Yan family, if you fall into their hands, they are still worried that there is no way to take the throne from you." ”

Zhao Xueyan's body stiffened and lowered her head silently.

Bo Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "But fortunately, none of this happened, you don't have to worry, with the palace and the Bo family, they can always protect you on the throne." ”

"The ...... throne" Zhao Xueyan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again: "Is it that good?" I don't know how to be an emperor yet, what should I do if I don't have you today, each of them has their own calculations, can I really be a good emperor...... I'm a little scared ......."

Bo Yan's eyebrows softened: "For the monarch, this is inevitable." ”

Zhao Xueyan's lips trembled, and he looked dazed.

"Rest early, I'll have to wake up early tomorrow."

Zhao Xueyan obediently lay down.

Bo Yan also lay down on the concubine and slept in his clothes, just lying down, Bo Yan suddenly thought of something, and said, "You believe me like this?" Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you too? ”

There was a long silence that answered Bo Yan, and just when Bo Yan thought that Zhao Xueyan would not answer, Zhao Xueyan's voice suddenly came from there: "There is no one else around me, except for you ......"

Bo Yan tilted his head slightly, and stopped talking, yes, in this deep palace, everyone has their own thoughts, but there must always be someone who is worthy of his trust in order to make himself feel a trace of warmth.

Bo Yan didn't fall asleep this night, tonight can be compared to the line between life and death, even if any of the links go wrong, it is himself and the entire Bo family who are lying in a pool of blood tonight, although he has survived this hurdle, but how can he sleep.

Zhao Xueyan was the most frightened and hit every day, but it should be because there were too many things happening today, too tired, he actually fell asleep groggily, but he slept very unsteadily, his mouth was chattering something, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he couldn't sleep left and right, so he got up and came to Zhao Xueyan's side to gently wipe his sweat for him, and vaguely heard Zhao Xueyan seem to be calling the words "father".

Bo Yan sighed, no matter how bastard Emperor Jiahe is, he is also Zhao Xueyan's only father, Emperor Jiahe has passed away, and Zhao Xueyan really has no blood relatives to rely on, although he doesn't say it, but who can understand the bitterness in his heart......

The sky gradually rises fish belly white, the Qiankun hall is the hundred officials who are waiting early, Bo Yan is dressed in pure black drag palace clothes and pulls a plain white Zhao Xueyan slowly into the hall, Bo Yan does not squint, pulls Zhao Xueyan straight to the golden dragon throne that countless people yearn for and sits, everyone kowtows and shouts long live Chitose, from today on, Zhao Guo has entered a new stage.
