Chapter 1: The Prisoner of the Steps

Next Chapter

As soon as Liu Che came in, he saw that the high-spirited young man in the past was sitting quietly in the corner of this humble room, it was indeed a humble room, it was rare to see such a dilapidated room in the palace, even the cold palace had more things than this place.

The man heard the footsteps, raised his head, and his originally dead eyes were like fireworks suddenly exploding, dazzling in an instant. Liu Che paused slightly, and even the anger that erupted from the bottom of his heart was extinguished a little.

"Your Majesty, you're here." Liu Che heard the man's voice sound, incomparably soft and delicate, even more heartwarming than when he was in love and honey in the past.

"Han Yan......" Liu Che muttered, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Han Yan suddenly smiled, and her already delicate eyebrows became more and more agile: "Your Majesty shouldn't come here, the Empress Dowager should be angry." There was some relief and cheerfulness in his voice that he had never seen before, as if he had no idea that he had fallen to the point of being imprisoned was all due to the Empress Dowager, who was about to be angry.

"You ......" Liu Che couldn't go on anymore, in fact, he wanted to ask him, why did he have an affair with the palace maid, didn't he treat him well enough?

They have been together since childhood, when he was the king of Jiaodong, Han Yan was a companion, and they were inseparable; When he was the emperor, Han Yan was a doctor, and they ate and lived together.

What a man expects - to be successful and famous. He gave it all to him, didn't he?

"I thought you really cared about me." Liu Che looked at the man curled up in the corner who was no longer in his usual style, but still handsome and extraordinary, his tone was low and his feelings were very complicated.

Han Yan chuckled, and a flush inexplicably appeared on her pale and haggard face due to captivity, which made the whole person look like a peach and plum.

Liu Che felt a pain in his heart, and for some reason, he had no interest in asking any more questions at all.

"Even if you're sorry for me, I won't let you die." Liu Che looked at him deeply, slowly took two steps back, turned around suddenly, opened the door and walked out.

"Liu Che."

Liu Che's body stiffened, he had never heard Han Yan call him like this, not even when the two of them were alone in Weiyang Palace.

That man always likes to look at himself in a daze, sometimes he will read the book of war and drink alcohol, and when he plays the piano, he will occasionally dance the sword to show him. But no matter what you do, you are respectful and polite, and it was obviously not like this before, when did you start?

Liu Che's brain was a little messy, he didn't deny that Han Yan was very special in his heart, especially so that he was willing to fight against his mother for him, especially so that even if he betrayed himself, he still didn't want him to die, he had always been decisive in killing, but it was difficult to attack this person alone, but it was only like this, exile to the border in the future......

"Liu Che......" Han Yan shouted again, her voice trembling a little, as if she was about to cry.

But Liu Che knew that he wouldn't.

That person is Han Yan, Han Yan who can govern the country with culture and martial arts.

"I heard that there are a lot of innocent women in the palace, since they don't have a chance to be favored, why don't you let them out?"

Liu Che clenched his hands suddenly, and under the wide sleeved robe, the green tendons on his arms burst out.

The palace maid who had an affair with Han Yan didn't find out after all, so he did it...... Is it for that woman's freedom? You treat her with deep affection......

Liu Che hooked the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't even make a mocking laugh. He closed his eyes, heavy shadows hit his face, and the whole person was gloomy and low.

"And ......" Han Yan paused for a moment, and said very slowly when she spoke again, "The pot of jade bamboo raised by the courtiers is ...... to be taken care of by Your Majesty."

Liu Che finally laughed, but he didn't look back after all, but raised his steps and gradually walked away.

The door closed slowly, and a light light flashed across Han Yanyun's breezy face.

When Han Yan heard the voice again, the person standing in front of her was the person she didn't want to see the last time she wanted to see itโ€”Taiwei Tian Wei. Han Yan buried her head in her knees, her black hair draped over her shoulders messily, and her detached attitude couldn't be more obvious.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, Dr. Han is so young, what can't he think of? Well? โ€

It was still a calm night, but the moonlight was a little worse, even if the two were very close, Tian Wei still couldn't see Han Yan's movements clearly, and could only vaguely feel that the person seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and he didn't move.

"Do you really think Your Majesty can save you?!" Tian Wei squatted down, pulled Han Yan's hair and forced him to raise his head, even if that face was stained with dirt, even if it was covered by shadows, it was still moving, Tian Wei's heart beat violently, and he wanted to overwhelm him like this.

However, he couldn't do this before, and he couldn't do it now, so he just sighed and hid the hideousness in his eyes: "First the following crimes, and then the defilement of the palace, unless it is me and Your Majesty to dissuade my sister, otherwise, she will not spare your ......"

Han Yan's body stiffened, her breathing was disordered, and the only thin lip that could be seen clearly was bitten by her teeth, and she was stubborn and painful.

After all, Tian Wei couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub Han Yan's delicate cheeks, he had coveted this person for a long time, but at this point, he still didn't see the slightest hope.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Lord Taiwei......" Han Yan closed his eyes, there was no life in his voice, he slowly touched Tian Wei's hand pulling his hair, and gently pinched it, the person in front of him immediately changed his face, his teeth were clenched, even if Tian Wei endured it, he still couldn't control himself, and let out a miserable howl.

"Wang Sun can get what he wants, Lord Taiwei really makes a lot of contributions." The voice behind is already faint and inaudible.

However, Tian Wei still heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned, even the pain of his broken wrist was reduced a little, and he frowned: "What do you mean?" โ€

Han Yan didn't look at him anymore, still buried her head in her knees, motionless like a stone.

Tian Wei got up, stood in place and thought for a while, the expression on his face changed, and at the end, he asked with some disbelief: "The matter of King Jiangdu, you did it on purpose?!" No, no, no. You're not that stupid......"

Tian Wei walked around in place, trying to recall everything that had happened during this time, and even thought about the filthy palace incident that had been exposed in the past few days, but the conclusion he came to shocked even himself.

"You...... How is this possible? Tian Wei looked at Han Yan, who was still motionless, and shook his head and laughed, "You have no reason to do this...... Should you ...... it" Tian Wei's eyes widened, and he froze in place for a moment.

Han Yan looked up at him seriously, with an arrogant look as if he was still on the dragon bed in Weiyang Palace, he gently hooked his lips, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile, Tian Wei's body was cold, and his wrist suddenly hurt, he slowly retreated to the door with a look of disbelief on his wrist, such Han Yan is very strange.

The door closed again, Han Yan looked at the dark and gloomy sky through the smaller and smaller gap, and her voice sounded low, vague and ethereal with an illusory taste: "Yiyan drinks, grow old with your son." Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet......"

Liu Che, are we......

Liu Che raised his head suddenly, it was already the dead of night, there was no light in the dark sky, and the people watching couldn't help but suppress it, as if they were pressed with a thousand-pound mountain body, and their chest was so stuffy that they couldn't even breathe, and the pain was unbearable for no reason.

"Someone."

Liu Che shouted, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable panic in his heart, although he almost tore his face with Wang Wan today to earn a glimmer of life for Han Yan, but after all, he also saved people, but at this time, it is good not to have any more accidents: "Let people go and see over there, Changxin Palace is also staring." โ€

After giving such an order, Liu Che picked up the pen again, but he didn't see the music in front of him, and there was still an indescribable panic in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the kneeling attendant on the ground, and his heart beat heavily for no reason: "Don't go quickly!" โ€

The waiter sifted like chaff and trembled: "Doctor Han... Already... Committed suicide ......."

Liu Che's hand stiffened, and the red cinnabar "snapped" on the cloth, bright and dazzling like the blood spilling from the corner of the man's lips.

Han Yan lay quietly in the corner of the room, still in the same position he had when he came to see him last time, but he was sitting last time, and this time he was lying.

However, his posture was very awkward, and Liu Che was uncomfortable to watch, his heart was like Han Yan's posture, constricted into a ball, and he wanted to poke a hole in his chest and directly pull out the constricted heart.

The waiter knelt on the side tremblingly, Liu Che walked in front of the person without squinting, bent down and hugged the person, far below the expected weight, so that his body shook involuntarily, Liu Che was a little distracted, why is this person so thin?

Obviously, not long ago, he was gearing up to go to fight against the Huns, why didn't it take long for him to lose weight like this?

"Emperor, what do you look like?!" Wang Wan came with a group of palace people, and the situation in front of her made her stunned for a moment, and she quickly came back to her senses. The emperor pleaded to no avail, and finally even threatened the life of her brother Tian Wei, she had to compromise and let this person live, but he still died......

Wang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Che turned around slowly, looking at the group of people in front of him blankly, the gorgeous palace clothes and delicate faces were obviously beautiful, but why was it so disgusting all of a sudden? Liu Che couldn't figure it out, he looked up at the sky, it was gray, and even the morning sun was cold, like Han Yan looking at him for the first time.

"Han Yan......" Liu Che murmured unconsciously, and then remembered that this person was dead, and the body was in his arms, he was stunned for a while, lowered his head, looked at Wang Wan in a daze, and said softly: "Queen Mother, you promised your son's ......"

Wang Wan was stunned when asked, she really didn't do anything, but the current emperor made her unfamiliar, and such an expressionless look was something he had never seen since he was a child

The words of denial of "mourning ......" were on his lips, but he couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother didn't, that didn't make the queen mother......"

Liu Che tilted his head and looked at the strange and familiar face in front of him, this person was his sister, he personally sealed Xiu Chengjun, and he was ...... Han Yan brought back his relatives, but why did Han Yan die as soon as she came back?

Liu Che couldn't think about it, his mind was blank, he looked around blankly, the palace people lowered their heads, the surroundings seemed to be quiet suddenly, and even the breathing was inaudible, Liu Che looked at his mother's mouth one by one, but he couldn't hear a word: Han Yan, I want to hear your voice......
