Weng Guimi's death made Wusun face an unprecedented crisis, the threat of the Xiongnu intensified, and the assistance of the Han Dynasty was far away. If the disadvantage is allowed to continue, Wusun will soon fall into a situation where the country is ruined.

The elders and ministers who turned to support the king of Nimi proposed that the country could not be without a king for a day, and put pressure on Liu Ye all the time, not only spreading the theory of the death of the country among the people, but also trying to win over the subjects who supported Liu Ye. Liu Ye paid a lot for Wusun in time, and during Weng Guimi's reign, she was also quite competent as the queen, but in any case, she was still a Han in the final analysis.

Of course, the power of Wusun should be held by the Wusun people, how can it be completely handed over to a Han Chinese? Isn't this clearly going to give Wusun to the big man! Every bloody Wusun can't allow this kind of thing to happen, they need the king of Wusun, and they need the real Wusun people to be kings!

At this time and then, the Weng Guimi period has become a thing of the past, although Liu Ye is a capable queen, but he must not let the Han woman take power. The call for Nimi's succession is getting louder and louder, and even if there is no personal instruction from Weng Guimi, it seems that it is not so important at the moment.

Xu Qige took out the suicide note of the first king, and told the world that Weng Guimi was just temporarily keeping the throne for Nimi, and the future throne must be passed on to Nimi, and now Weng Guimi died suddenly, and he didn't have time to make a decree to pass on the throne, but the edict of the former king is ironclad evidence.

Only ten days after Weng Guimi was buried, Nimi announced his claim to be king amid the support of most of the people in the court. Even if others are not convinced, they have to accept this reality, just because since Weng Guimi's death, Queen Liu Ye has not shown up for a long time, as if she acquiesced to the statement of Xu Qige and Nimi, and also accepted Nimi as the new king.

After Nimi ascended to the throne, he immediately cut off the communication between Wusun and the Han Dynasty, and recovered all the materials sent to Dawan to support the Han army. His move won the favor of those who were scheming, they only thought that the big man would no longer be a backer in the future, and they didn't remember how many benefits the big man had received in the past.

Just like forgetting the favor that the Han once glew, Liu Ye's dedication and efforts also turned into smoke with the death of Weng Guimi, and gradually faded out of people's sight.

"Queen, what shall we do now?" Qing Ling looked at Liu Ye, who was getting thinner and thinner, and asked softly.

"Ling'er, at this juncture, there is no way to be anxious." Feng Yan stopped Qing Ling and asked, "I've been thinking about how to get in touch with the Dahan side recently, if we want to save this situation, it is impossible without the support of the Dahan." ”

Shizhong was silent for a long time, and said: "I plan to go back to Dahan and explain Wusun's situation in person, hoping to get the support of the imperial court to change the status quo." ”

"Yes, we can't sit still, Nimi and those rebels are getting worse and worse, and they don't want to think about whose credit Wusun can have today." When Feng Yan talked about those ungrateful people, he hated to finish them off with his own hands.

"But it's a long way to go, even if you hurry up, it will take a year and a half to go back, Nimi has already become king, and the whole Wusun is his. It's just that he is still a little jealous of General Chang and Master Shi, General Chang is at the border, Master Shi, if you go to Dahan and take the opportunity to bully the queen, Sister Xiao and I won't be able to parry! Qing Ling said with a sad face, "Master, I think you still want to think of a different way!" ”

"Master, Ling'er, I think this method is feasible." Feng Yan thought about it, and immediately said, "Just let me go to the Great Han Face Saint, Master Shi stayed to protect the queen, I believe that Nimi will not dare to mess around." ”

"Sister Xiao, are you going to Dahan? Are you going alone? No, no, General Chang will kill us if he finds out. I'd rather let Master Shi go through this experience than let you take the risk yourself! Qing Ling shook his head again and again, looking at Liu Ye, who was speechless, "Queen, you can also say something, Sister Xiao is going to Dahan, this won't work!" ”

Liu Ye was still unmoved, and Feng Yan just sighed when he saw this: "Okay, let's just decide!" Those of us who have always relied on the queen for protection, and now is the time to do something for the queen. ”

"But you still can't go by yourself, little sister, you are not afraid of General Chang's worries, and you have to think about Xiaobao, he is still so young, how can he leave his mother." Qing Ling tugged at Shizhong's arm, "Master, you persuade Sister Xiao, or you should go, you must be careful!" ”

Shi Zhong patted the back of Qing Ling's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible." ”

"No, Master, you have to stay and take care of the queen, Ling'er is right, in case the mud is difficult for the queen, neither of us women has the ability to protect her. It's really not good, you can still take the queen to the border to find Chang Hui, what can we do! Feng Yan vetoed Shizhong's idea, "Don't say it again, I've made up my mind, Dahan will let me go!" ”

"Oh, it's not appropriate for Master Shi to go, and it's even more inappropriate for you to go, Sister Xiaoxiao! If that kid dares to be unfavorable to the queen, I will fight with him, in short, I will not put the queen in danger if I give up this life. Qingling was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, "Sister Xiao, don't insist any longer, just let Master Shi go." ”

"Ling'er, you have to consider the reality of the situation, don't be rash......"

"Sister Xiao, you have to think more about yourself, don't go to the hero......"

"What's the noise, isn't it annoying?" The medicine gourd walked in with a wine jug, raised his eyes to look at Liu Ye, who was silent, and shook his head, "I think it's okay to go to Dahan for help, but even if you want to go, Master Shi can't go." ”

Shizhong stood up: "Old gourd, don't come to make trouble." ”

"No, I'm not here to make trouble for you, I'm here to say something." The medicine gourd wiped the corners of his mouth, pointed at Liu Ye and said, "Now is the most difficult period for the queen, you have to keep a reliable person who can help, the master must have a brain, and he is the most suitable person." ”

"Grandfather, when you say this, you probably plan to go to Dahan instead of Shida, right?" Qing Ling hurriedly asked.

"It's not impossible for me to go, but I'm afraid that when I see the emperor, I won't be able to say anything, so won't it be in vain?" Yao Hulu spread his hands and sighed helplessly, "I'm an old man, I usually can't speak clearly, I can talk about how to make poison and have a clue, if I want to explain the queen's current situation, it will be really embarrassing for me." ”

"If you don't go, and you don't allow Master Shi to go, do you still want Sister Xiao to go?"

"Well, that's the little sister-in-law!"

Feng Yan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, it's decided, no one should say anything more." ”

"Little sister, don't worry, I'll go with you, old man, although it's not of much use, it's still sure to escort you back safely." The medicine gourd casually dropped the wine jug, raised his voice and said, "I finally found a serious thing to do, otherwise I will be suffocated to death." ”

Shizhong knew that the medicine gourd could not be treated by Weng Guimi in time, and he always felt that it was a pity, but Weng Guimi left suddenly, and even Liu Ye didn't expect that the medicine gourd was also weak.

And Weng Guimi's death was also fatal to Liu Ye, she often blamed herself for not treating him well before he was alive, and she didn't even let him see the last face of Lao Xianwang, she felt ashamed of him.

"Let's go, let's let the queen be quiet for herself." The medicine gourd left with Shizhong and Qingling, and Feng Yan thought that she was about to go to Dahan, so she stayed to say goodbye to her.

"Queen, I'm going to Dahan, don't worry, I'll tell the new emperor what happened to you in Wusun." Feng Yan looked at Liu Ye, who was distracted, and said sadly, "Queen, the king is no longer here, you have to cheer up, if you are like this, the king will not be at ease when he leaves." ”

Feng Yan cried sadly in front of Liu Ye, Liu Ye finally had a hint of reaction, she said sadly: "You also think that I am giving up on myself!" Yes, I really don't have the strength to fight anymore, Solang is gone, I still can't accept this fact, is this a joke God played on me? Solang is obviously still very young, how can he say that he will leave! I'm sorry for him, it's me who has caused him to be the king, he just wants to live his life without a fight. But for me, he withstood this burden, how hard he worked, I know very well, but he did not complain, until the end of his life, he still thought about me and cared for me. ”

"What about me? What can I do for Solange? Liu Ye burst into tears as he spoke, "I only know now how useless I am, I can't even protect Suo Lang's only flesh and blood, and I have failed to live up to his expectations." Perhaps, what I can do is to go with him and avoid the troubles of the mud, so that I can save Yuan'er. ”

Feng Yan was stunned: "Yuan'er? What happened to Yuan Guimi? Isn't he at the nurse's? Queen, could it be that Nimi used Yuan Guimi as a threat to force you to support him as king? ”

Feng Yan thought for a moment and further confirmed: "Yes, it must be like this, originally there were many ministers in the court who supported you and Yuan Guimi, but you didn't respond for a long time, and they had to accept Nimi." Queen, why didn't you say it earlier, if Nimi really went so far, we would never let him ascend the throne. ”

"No, I can't gamble with Yuan'er's life!" Liu Ye looked at Feng Yan in despair, "Do you know, on the night of Suo Lang's death, Nimi imprisoned Yuan'er, and I still don't know Yuan'er's whereabouts. Xu Qige told me that as long as I wait for Nimi to sit firmly on the throne, I will be able to see Yuan'er. ”

"How can this be reasonable, their mother and son don't even let go of such a young child!" Feng Yan said angrily, "I'm going to send someone to call Chang Hui back, and I won't give up until I pull the mud down from the throne." ”

Liu Ye hurriedly grabbed Feng Yan: "You can't do this, Suo Lang and the old sage king are still waiting for me to tell him the good news of Wusun's victory, we can't take Wusun's fate as a threat." ”

"But what about Yuan Guimi, he was imprisoned by that kid in the mud!"

"That's not okay, don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to Yuan'er, because he just wants to use Yuan'er to coerce me, I am willing to give up my power and accept him as the new king, so that his goal will be achieved."

"Even if he can let go of Yuan Guimi, I'm afraid it's temporary, Nimi and Xu Qige are both people who have to make inches, and they will coerce again and again until you lose the power to parry." Feng Yan shook Liu Ye's hand hard, "In short, you have to be patient, don't give up your fighting spirit, when I come back, I will bring good news." ”

"Little sister, you have to be careful."

"Well, it's okay, the old gourd will come with me."

Feng Yan simply packed some luggage, took Liu Ye's edict, and set off for Dahan with the medicine gourd on the same day. At the same time, Nimi's eyeliner also reported the news in time.

Liu Ye knew in her heart that if she gave up completely, then in the end she would have to admit defeat, and her and Weng Guimi's years of hard work would be in vain. But she had to watch Nimi ascend the throne, watch Xu Qige show off his might in front of her, because of her negligence, she didn't guard against Nimi, so that Yuan Guimi would suffer this catastrophe. For Weng Guimi, even if she sacrifices her life, she has to keep Yuan Guimi.

"Queen, Queen......"

The person who came was Yuan Guimi's biological mother, she kept looking around, sneaked into Liu Ye's yurt in fear, and knelt down to her in a hurry: "Queen, please, please find a way to save the little prince......"

"Get up!" Liu Ye motioned to the maid to help her get up, and then pointed to the chair beside her, "Come and sit!" ”

The beauty that the tribe gave to Weng Guimi in the past has long since lost her former demeanor, and she looks much haggard after just a few days.

"Yuan'er, he won't be in danger, you don't have to worry too much." Liu Ye comforted weakly, "I know in my heart, as long as I am here, no one will dare to disadvantage him." ”

The beauty was teary-eyed, biting her lip and nodded, seeing that Liu Ye had been a lot haggard these days, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Queen, I know that you are wholeheartedly devoted to the little prince, and you are also kind to me." At the beginning, the king didn't allow me to get close to the little prince, so you asked me to accompany the little prince as a nurse. ”

"Maybe others will cry out for me, but I really don't feel wronged, the little prince has you, the queen mother, is her creation. And although I can't be commensurate with him as a mother and son, he has never left me, so I have no regrets about losing my son. ”

"This is all the kindness of the queen, I am not a greedy person, as long as I can be with my son, I can see him every day, hug him, I am satisfied. Whoever is good to our mother and son, I will repay her as a cow and a horse in the next life, but if anyone wants to be unfavorable to my child, I will become a powerful ghost and fight with her. ”

Liu Ye echoed: "I understand your feelings, the little prince is the flesh and blood of your pregnancy in October, and the mother is willing to die for the sake of the child." Although I haven't experienced your hard work, Yuan'er is also my own child in my mind. Yuan'er is the only bloodline of the king, and I will do my best to protect him. ”

"I know, I know, the slave never doubted the queen's sincerity. But Queen, are you willing to be suppressed by Mrs. Zuo's mother and son? They use the little prince to force you to comply, do you really think they can stop if they achieve their goal? ”

"I'm not sure if they can stop, but I can only do this now, Yuan'er is still young, he can't help but be frightened, as long as Yuan'er comes back safely, I can only choose to believe them." Liu Ye looked at the beauty tiredly, "I promise you, even if I go with the king, I will hand over Yuan'er to you well." ”

The beauty immediately shook her head: "Queen, you can't be depressed like this, the king died suddenly, you can't accept this kind of blow, you have a deep relationship with the king, and it is reasonable that you want to follow him." But as you just said, the little prince is the only blood of the king, and the king's last concern is the life of the little prince. Slaves and maids are useless, they can't fight their mother and son, but in the future, you are different, you have the ability to fight with them. If you can keep the little prince for a while, what will you do in the future? If you're not here, who else can the little prince rely on? ”

"Since the king entrusted the little prince to you, it is for you to take care of him for the rest of his life, the slave and maid are very selfish to say this, but please think about it in the long run, don't fall for the tricks of their mother and son."

"But I don't know what's wrong with me, and when I think of Solang's deathbed, I feel so sad." Liu Ye couldn't help crying in front of her, "I always feel sorry for him, I should have stopped him from going to the border, I couldn't stop it at the time, and then I had a chance to remedy it, when Lao Xianwang was seriously ill, I didn't send anyone to inform him to come back." Blame me, blame me, Solang will fall off the horse, and the old disease will recur and hurt his vitality. ”

The beauty suddenly knelt down for Liu Ye again, grabbed her skirt, raised her head to stare at her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Queen, the sudden death of the king is all caused by Mrs. Zuo." ”

Liu Ye trembled: "You, what did you say?" ”

The beauty was ruthless, and said: "In those days, Wusun was turbulent, and Mrs. Zuo often came to trouble the slave and the little prince, and she coaxed me to escape with the little prince and leave this place of right and wrong. So I also paid special attention to her movements, for fear that she would take advantage of the unpreparedness of our mother and son. ”

"On the day of the king's death, I saw her enter the king's yurt, and I was afraid that she would speak ill of me, so I ran over and eavesdropped on them. Later, I heard, heard......"

Liu Ye's heart suddenly tightened: "What did you hear?" ”

The slave heard that Mrs. Zuo had slandered the queen and the king many times, she scolded the king for his treachery, and she also said to the king that the old sage king wanted to see him most when he was dying, but the queen did not allow it, and the old sage king died and did not mourn secretly. After Mrs. Zuo said these words, I heard the king coughing very much, and then, Mrs. Zuo left, and the queen came, and I didn't expect the king to be angry with her, and I was afraid that she would find out that I was eavesdropping on them, so I went back. The beauty sobbed, "Who would have thought that the king would return to the West soon, I should really find out the culprit on the spot, and the little prince disappeared afterwards, I dare not say it, queen, the king died not because of you, he was angry with Mrs. Zuo!" ”

"By the way, Queen, I also heard about ......"

Before the words fell, Nimi rushed in with more than a dozen guards, drew his sword and pointed at the beauty, and said angrily: "Slut, you dare to poison my queen mother's decoction, you deserve to die!" ”

"No, I didn't ......" The beauty lay on the ground and waved her hand desperately, "The queen save me, save me, I didn't hurt anyone, I just heard Ni Mi say that he wants to make you the queen......"

The silver light flashed, and the beauty didn't snort, and collapsed on the ground with a river of blood. Ni Mi put away his sword and looked at Liu Ye coldly: "Since you already know, you don't need me to say more, give you three days, you are ready to be the queen of this king!" ”
