Chapter 1: The Crusade
When night falls, the entire imperial city is shrouded in lights, as bright as day.
The sound of silk and bamboo spread from within the palace walls to the streets, and joy seemed to infect those who were sleeping.
The heavy gates of the city opened silently, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth and led into the city by heavily armed armor soldiers, and in the night, the armor shone with a cold glow, reflecting the eyes of those in front of the windows.
"Hmm!"
The cold flashed, and the man standing in front of the window clutched his throat and fell back, blood scrambling from his fingers and seeping into the floor beneath him.
Singing and dancing in the Imperial Garden, in the celebration of the fifth year and the twenty-fifth birthday of the emperor of the current Great Zhou Dynasty Empress Ye Yihan, the corner of the Imperial Garden, Ye Yihan, the protagonist of the banquet, looked at the prosperous scene below with a smile on his lips and was quite satisfied.
"Why did the Great Priest come late at night?" Ye Yihan stroked his bulging belly and asked the people around him, a group of palace maids who were waiting had retreated to the outside of Gardenia Building, and there were only two of them in the building.
Since there is a Tianyuan Continent, there is a great priest's life, enjoying the worship of various countries, and holding the lifeline of the Tianyuan Continent.
Since Ye Yihan was a child, Da Si Ming is what he is now, and now more than 20 years have passed, he has grown from a young child to a monarch of a country, and Da Si Ming is still like this, fairy wind and bones, cherish words like gold.
The Great Si Ming was as silent as ever, Ye Yihan knew that he would not answer, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to maintain the Great Si Ming, and his appearance has not changed for twenty years, which is really enviable." ”
She turned her head to look at the big priest, and smiled, like a gardenia blooming, elegant and moving, "My son is about to be born, and the great priest is coming, can you name my son?" ”
"Okay." Da Si ordered his head, his eyes swept over Ye Yuhan's face like water, paused, and said, "Your production this time is extremely dangerous. Be cautious. ”
This is also a reason why he went down the mountain.
As the chief commander of the Tian Yuan Continent, he does not serve any royal family, but this little girl always makes him worry.
When it came to childbirth, Ye Yihan was full of joy, his round eyes were bright and moving, and he exuded the brilliance of motherhood and the light of happiness that people couldn't look at directly: "Yichen has found me the best stable woman and gynecology doctor in the whole Zhou." You can rest assured. ”
Da Si Ming looked at her happy face, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Shen Yichen is the eldest son of the Protector of the Kingdom, and Ye Yihan's childhood sweetheart, he has already had a marriage contract, if it wasn't for the accidental death of the prince, Ye Yihan would have married into the Protector's Mansion as a daughter-in-law.
The emperor and queen love only this pair of children, the prince died unexpectedly at the age of eight, there have been two empresses in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ye Yihan was undoubtedly crowned the prince, and married Shen Yichen as the imperial husband after ascending the throne as the empress.
The feelings of childhood sweethearts have become deeper and deeper as time goes by, Ye Yihan often feels physically exhausted after pregnancy, and state affairs are gradually handed over to Shen Yichen to deal with, even today's birthday is also organized by him.
Downstairs in Gardenia, the handsome Shen Yichen beckoned to Ye Yihan, and she smiled at the big priest: "Yichen is calling me, I'll go down first." The Great Priest will have to stay a few more days. ”
Da Si Ming has always been uncertain, coming and going without a trace, Ye Yihan very much hopes that he can stay here to watch the birth of his emperor and pray for him, so that the emperor will definitely go well.
Da Si Ming looked up at the air, didn't hear her words, Ye Yihan didn't care, turned around and left.
Shen Yichen looked up at the great priest who looked like an immortal, held Ye Yihan's hand, grabbed her still a little thin waist with one hand, and said with a little worry: "Why did the great priest come from this time?" ”
"It's worried about my production." Ye Yihan smiled softly.
As the third empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ye Yihan did not have the momentum of arrogance and the majesty of the emperor, but in Shen Yichen's tenderness, she became more and more gentle and charming.
Shen Yichen's eyebrows furrowed, looking at her huge belly worriedly, compared to her slender body, it was indeed worrying: "Wen Po said that you are too thin, I am afraid that it is not conducive to production." ”
"Don't be afraid, I've always been healthy." Ye Yihan smiled slightly, and looked up at his oncoming friend Ren Yaoyao.
Ren Yaoyao was the same age as her but combed the hair of an unmarried woman, she stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "I have seen Her Majesty." ”
Ye Yihan hurriedly raised his hand, shouted, his body was heavy and difficult to support, and looked at her husband again: "Hurry up, what are you doing so politely between you and me?" ”
Shen Yichen stepped forward to hold Ren Yaoyao's hand, and said with a smile: "I have long exempted you from courtesy, but you have so many courtesies." ”
Ren Yaoyao got up, and her fingertips scratched Shen Yichen's palm under the cover of her long sleeves: "The gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." ”
Shen Yichen withdrew his hand and glanced at Ren Yaoyao vaguely, turned around and helped Ye Yihan sit down, and said to Ren Yaoyao: "Your father told me about your marriage the day before yesterday, can you have someone in mind?" Although most of the women in my Great Zhou Dynasty marry late, you are too late. ”
Ye Yihan looked at Ren Yaoyao and wanted to count her friends for two sentences, but suddenly there was a heat under her, as if something was bubbling out, her face changed and she looked at Shen Yichen: "Yichen, it's not good!" The water is broken! ”
"What!" Shen Yichen was shocked, picked up Ye Yihan and rushed out.
Ren Yaoyao ordered people to come over quickly, and ordered people to tell the banquet to go as usual, and if anyone wanted to go back, they could go back by themselves.
The imperial garden was busy and chaotic, and the singing and dancing also stopped because the empress was about to give birth, and the women gathered around to ask Ren Yaoyao about the situation, after all, only Ren Yaoyao was in front of the empress, and they were too far away to even hear what they said.
A meteor trails across the sky with a long tail, followed by another meteor!
Then countless meteors rushed down from the sky, and the originally bright purple stars in the distance instantly dimmed, flickering and flickering as if they were about to be extinguished at any time!
The big priest pinched his fingers, and his complexion changed suddenly! He waved his sleeves and rushed to Ye Yuhan's bedroom!
Ye Yihan was in such pain that she was in a cold sweat, and she was worried that the child would not be born smoothly, she turned her head to look ahead, and found that it was not the way to the dormitory!
"The dormitory is not here, Yichen, are you in a hurry?" Ye Yihan endured the pain and said softly.
Shen Yichen smiled coldly, the tenderness on his face was no longer there, he kicked open the dark pantry behind the Taiji Palace, and threw Ye Yihan to the ground: "That's right!" Ye Yihan! Your Ye family, that's it! ”
The door slammed shut, Ye Yihan covered her stomach and looked ahead, she was like falling into an ice cellar, forgetting the pain in her body, and listening to the sound from the Taiji Hall in front of her in a daze!
"Ye's Gardenia, who ascended the throne as the empress for five years, has been tyrannical every year, causing the people to be miserable, and the people are complaining! Disaster from heaven! As the people of Da Zhou, we should be for the community! Willing to risk the world's condemnation and crusade against the tyrant Ye Yihan! Give me a Qingming in my big week! Give my people a peace again! ”
Shen Yichen's voice pierced through the clouds and cracked stones, accusing Ye Yihan's crimes word by word!
Ye Yihan was lying on the cold floor, gasping for breath, his stomach contractions were getting worse and worse, but the amniotic fluid had dried up, and the life and death of the child in his abdomen was unknown!
She turned her head to look ahead, incredulous! It is clear that the person who was worried about her own production a moment ago, and she still has no doubt about her love, how can she announce her guilt at this moment?!
Why is this happening!? Why!
