The old king seemed to lament, and after a mournful cry, he fell into a long silence.

After a long time, he trembled and pointed at Urahe and said, "Son, let me see you again." ”

Urahe hesitantly leaned his face over, and looked at him fixedly in front of the king. The king burst into tears for a while, and he whimpered and said, "I'm sorry, my son, my father didn't give you love, didn't give you care, and even killed your mother without investigation." Your resentment against me is the retribution I deserve. I don't blame you for being a father. Now that the pressure exerted by the Tang Emperor is great, you must beware of the invasion of Khotan and Qiuzi, remember not to be promiscuous, and to govern the country well. Be a good king, and don't let the great cause be ruined in your hands. ”

Lao Wang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face for a long time, and he took out a written edict from under the pillow and handed it to him.

When Urah walked out of the dormitory with the edict pressed against the king and held under the pillow, the tears on his face had dried. He twitched his nose and breathed in the fresh air.

The sun hangs in the center of the city, shining on the country, sprinkling warmth and warmth. The palace is magnificent, row upon row, and from this day on, he is the king of the ten thousand people in this Wuci country, and he is admired by others.

A long voice came from behind him: "The king is dead." ”

As soon as the four words came out, there were true or false mournful cries in the dormitory.

Urakhe raised his head and looked directly at the sun, and two lines of tears slipped down.

The cuckoo's cry came from nowhere, the sound was cold, and the voice was sad.

Yu Yao, who was sitting in the carriage, saw the servants and maids in the palace walking in a hurry, the pure white cloth was hung up, and the white paper lanterns were hanging on the city gate.

Suddenly, someone outside the carriage said, "Go!" And the carriage moved.

Yu Yao was flashed by the suddenly moving carriage, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The little man sitting in the carriage steadily set up the carriage and said, "Prepare for the vigil." Yu Yao actually felt that this trip was a little sad, she admired this king from the bottom of her heart, and built this small country that survived in the cracks with her own strength, but before she saw her true face, she had to say goodbye. At that moment, she was really a little sad.

The procession that came with the second prince was taken to a courtyard on the east side of the palace, and everyone busily took off their luggage and ran back and forth. Someone had already brought filial piety clothes for Yu Yao, and asked her to go to the outside of the Great Courtyard Hall with Princess Jieyang immediately after she changed it. Yu Yao found that the weather that was originally clear was suddenly obscured by dark clouds.

Wuci was a small country sandwiched between Khotan and Qiuci, and all funerals were carried out according to the Tang Dynasty ritual system, but the funeral, which was supposed to stop for a month, was shortened to 14 days by the new king Wulahe. The officials in charge of etiquette persuaded him even more, but he could not change the mind of the new king, and fourteen days was the number of days of spiritual suspension for the royal nobles, and it was a great disrespect to use it on the former king.

Humiliating a king who had expanded his territory and crossed his sword for thousands of miles was the last revenge of Urahe, avenging his mother who was unjustly burned to death, and avenging his lonely and empty childhood.

Yu Yao was whipped like a spinning top to do this and that, without a moment of rest, and the number of times she saw the second prince was very rare.

The most devastating thing was the vigil, she knelt in front of the temple for a long time with many female dependents, feeling that her body was completely out of control, all the heating in her body was sucked away by the wind, and every cell in her body seemed to be frozen and lost its vitality. Her knees were also stiff and unable to move. Especially at night, even though I was wearing a lot of clothes, I was still shivering from the cold. Taking advantage of the darkness, many people sneaked away to rest, but Yu Yao didn't dare, because Princess Jieyang, who was kneeling beside her, stood upright and motionless, she was afraid of being denounced by Princess Jieyang. Yu Yao kept twisting her body, so that the center of gravity of her body kept shifting to relieve the pressure on her knees. She thought: The ancient people were really hard, and they wanted to be 'easy to kneel'.

At this time, Princess Jieyang beside her silently spoke, and fell straight forward to the ground. The frightened Yu Yao screamed. The kneeling ladies around them looked sideways, causing a commotion in the crowd.

The people serving around Princess Jieyang quickly helped her up, Yu Yao looked up and saw a pale face, bloodless, her eyes were closed, her teeth were closed, and she exclaimed: "Princess, princess!" Hurry up and call a doctor. ”

Ah Jing, the maid who had been serving Yu Yao, quietly stabbed Yu Yao behind her, and deliberately amplified her voice and said, "Sister Yu, please go and see the princess." Yu Yao suddenly understood Ah Jing's intentions, stretched out her hand and was pulled by Ah Jing, and stood up. I lost sensation in my knee completely, and as soon as I stood up, I felt a clicking sound in my patella.

When the two were about to leave, a solemn voice behind them said, "After seeing the princess, let's go back and rest for a while." ”

Yu Yao turned around in astonishment and saw that the Queen Mother was looking at her with blazing eyes at the moment. She hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your grace." I'll go and see the princess. ”

The queen turned her face expressionlessly and continued to kneel in front of the tomb of the former king. Yu Yao turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Ah Jing, and ran away as if she was being helped to fly. This queen mother is the king's wife, and in the early years, she accompanied the king to the east and west. The king respected her very much, but the queen mother was injured when she was bumpy in the desert and never got pregnant.

Yu Yao was a little afraid of her cold face. Her eyes seemed to be engraved with cold-blooded and ruthless, and every time she looked at her, Yu Yao coldly remembered the appearance of Mama Rong in the TV series.

After returning to the place where she was placed, Yu Yao moved towards the princess's room like a zombie. As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by the little guy standing at the door, and said with a flattering smile: "The princess has just been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and now she is resting, and she orders that no one should disturb her, please go back." ”

Yu Yao was about to open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted again by Ah Jing's small gesture of quietly pulling the corner of her clothes. She smiled and said to the little girl, "Okay, please take a good rest for the princess." The princess was filial and tired. ”

Back in the room, Ah Jing closed the door lightly and said to Yu Yao, "You can rest for a while." If someone comes to call later, you have to go. ”

Yu Yao smiled at Ah Jing tiredly and said, "Ah Jing, are you still smart, did you know that the princess was pretending to be a princess early on?" ”

Ah Jing is about 30 years old, fatherless and motherless, since she was a child, she was taken in by the second prince's nurse, and has been serving the second prince with the nurse, although she has reached the age of marriage, she has not left the second prince's palace, begging the second prince not to drive her away. The second prince has been ignoring such things, let her go. It wasn't until Yu Yao entered the palace that the nurse received the benefit of the red-eyed thief, so she pointed out Ah Jing to Yu Yao.

While she was busy helping Yu Yao take off her shoes, she replied: "If you stay in this kind of place for a long time, you don't need to guess to know the result." ”

Yu Yao stretched lazily, found a comfortable position, squinted her eyes, she felt that she was too tired, as if she had walked a long, long road, and she never stopped along the way, being chased by others and trying to move forward. Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that she had walked somewhere. Her first reaction was, could she have traveled back in time? I was extremely excited, it would be great to be able to travel back to modern times, but I hadn't found Lin Xiangdi yet, so I left first, which was too unkind.

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice sounded like thunder: "The king has arrived!" ”

Yu Yao hit a spirit, immediately got up, and stood on the ground. Someone walked in outside the door. Yu Yao changed into a smile and greeted, "Second king...... Oh, no. Your Majesty, are you here? ”

Wu Rahe also looked tired, and after entering the door, he walked straight to the seat and sat down deeply. After everyone was separated, Yu Yao poured tea for him and put it in his hand. He rested with his eyes closed. Yu Yao stood helplessly beside her. Her legs were still sore, like the first time she had gone to the gym to ride a spinning bike with a coach who was wilder than a DJ. She tried her best to restrain her body.

The new king fell asleep for a moment and asked, "Are you tired after kneeling for so long?" ”

Hearing Wu Rahe's concern, Yu Yao knew that the estrangement that night had disappeared. He replied with a slight smile: "I'm not tired." The king works harder, doesn't he? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Wu Rahe's mouth raised a smile, opened his eyes and looked at her, "Before I became the king, I desperately hoped to sit on the dragon chair one day, but after I really sat down, I found that things were much better. Sick of it. ”

Yu Yao stood behind him and helped him pinch his shoulders and said, "The king is working too hard, help you pinch your shoulders and soothe your muscles, you will feel better." ”

Wu Rahe closed his eyes again, and said to Yu Yao without any ups and downs in his voice: "Yu Yao, since I entered the capital, I have not bothered to tell you that when I was ambushed that night, the red-eyed thief died. ”

Yu Yao sighed lightly, thinking that now there is no one who knows her life experience, as long as she finds Lin Xiangdi, she can say whatever she wants.

Urah continued: "The bloody storm has just begun. Oh, by the way, there is one thing, I have to remind you, you have to pay more attention when you enter the palace now than when you are in the palace before. Especially the Queen Mother. ”

Yu Yao remembered the frosty old lady earlier, she asked her to rest for a while, she felt very good. "I never told you that you resemble my mother," said Urah. When my mother was alive, the Queen Mother was still the queen at that time, and she couldn't get used to seeing my father's favor on my mother, so she was always targeting her everywhere. So, you have to be careful yourself. ”

Wu Rahe fell asleep in Yu Yao's room, and in her sleep, Yu Yao vaguely heard Wu Rahe calling "Father", and she opened her eyes until dawn.

That night, she replayed countless times in her mind the classic images of Mama Rong in "Huanzhu Gege", Queen Wulanala in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Golden Branch Desire", "Palace Scheming", etc., the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. Oh, my God! When the book is used, there is little hatred, and there are too few people who hate the palace fighting drama when it is used.

There was a lot of noise outside the window, and I didn't know what was going on. Ah Jing walked in quietly, and Yu Yao was already standing on the ground wearing filial piety clothes. Ah Jing glanced at Wu Rahe, who was lying on the bed, and whispered to Yu Yao: "Yu Guiren, hurry up and pack up and go to the funeral place, the princess has already gone, it's not good for you to be late." Yu Yao sped up, she didn't want to be played to death when she first entered the palace gate.

Urakh also opened his eyes. Yu Yao looked back and saw that he was staring at herself.

Yu Yao whispered, "Your Majesty, did you wake you up?" ”

Wu Rahe shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said to Yu Yao, "You can go." ”

The two hurried to the crowd who were already kneeling on the ground, and the princess had already joined in crying. Yu Yao secretly admired her in her heart, she was worthy of being born in the palace, and her speed in the play was really fast. Princess Jieyang glanced back at Yu Yao, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Today is the last day of the vigil, and everyone is doing their best to perform this play. Although Yu Yao has no experience, social experience tells her that when you are overwhelmed in an unfamiliar environment, start by imitating others. So, Yu Yao went out, took out the skills of acting in sketches at school, and started the performance with everyone crying.

In the crowd, the Queen Mother, who was kneeling at the head, looked back at her. The content revealed in her eyes made Yu Yao unable to figure it out.
