Chapter 256: Forced Smile

readx;? Leaving the hidden palace, Li Yao just held the smoke that had long lost the breath of life, and walked out of the palace slowly, it was late at night, and there were no palace maids and eunuchs in the palace for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Yao walked in such a palace, the whole person was like a walking corpse, the tears on his face couldn't stop sliding down, crying so silently and painfully, who can imagine how much pain Li Yao has in his heart now, why do the women he cares about always leave him one after another?

First the incense, then the smoke.

Li Yao seems to feel that he shouldn't have traveled to the Tang Dynasty, if he knew that because of himself, Ning Xiang and Yan'er would die, Li Yao would rather be his poor sling in the 21st century, but now, all this has happened, Li Yao can't change all this, he can't do anything.

Li Yao felt that he was so powerless for the first time, and when Ning Xiang died, he still had reason to convince himself to be strong, but at this moment, in the face of the smoke in his arms, Li Yao really collapsed completely.

Just as Li Yao walked outside the Qianyuan with Yan'er, Qin Jing ran out of the Qianyuan, and when he saw the dead Yan'er, Qin Jing was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, is this ...... What the hell is going on?"

She ...... She bit her tongue and killed herself. Li Yao endured the discomfort in his heart and replied to Qin Jing with sobs.

"How can this be, the Queen Mother ordered to save her life, she died, and the Queen Mother blamed her, so what should I do?" Qin Jing pulled his face and asked in embarrassment.

Yan'er's death was obviously not in his expectation, he also thought that Li Yao went to interrogate Yan'er or save her, but who would have thought that Li Yao would go, Yan'er would directly bite her tongue and commit suicide, although she died like this, there was no harm to herself, but Wu Zetian ordered her to live, and now that she is dead, once Wu Zetian blames her, it will be difficult for him to shirk this responsibility even if he is justified!

Li Yao knew what Qin Jing was thinking.

Without saying much, Li Yao just stopped his tears and said to Qin Jing: "Okay, you don't have to worry, the Queen Mother, I will talk about it, I will bear her death, and I will not embarrass you." ”

"Good brother, then thank you. Qin Jing hurriedly hugged Li Yao and thanked him.

"Then I'll take her out of the palace for burial first, you first tell the Queen Mother that she committed suicide, I'll take her out of the palace for burial, if the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you tell her that I will take Yan'er's body back to Princess Yan'an's Mansion, and she can go to Princess Yan'an's Mansion to visit Yan'er's funeral. Li Yao gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the hatred for Wu Zetian in his heart, and said to Qin Jing.

Qin Jing saw that the expression on Li Yao's face was so terrifying, he closed his mouth in amusement, and didn't say much, Qin Jing nodded quietly and agreed, Li Yao left with Yan'er in his arms, all the way out of the palace, and walked towards Princess Yan'an's Mansion, Qin Jing stood in place, looking at Li Yao's back like a walking corpse, and sighed in his heart.

I thought, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, Li Yao can be sad for such a little girl, that is just to prove his affection and righteousness, such a man is worthy of him Qin Jingjiao, thinking like this in his heart, Qin Jing also no longer trusted, walked to the Palace of Eternal Life, and went to report the matter to Wu Zetianbing.

And what about Li Yao?

After arriving at the Yan'an Princess's Mansion, Li Yao just walked to the gate with Yan'er, and the guards on duty at night immediately stepped forward and hurriedly welcomed Li Yao in, seeing that the Yan'er in Li Yao's arms had long since run out of breath, the two guards were busy separating one person and went to the princess's compound Tongbing, and Li Yao was with another guard, and sent Yan'er's body into the guard's courtyard.

Half an hour later, Princess Yan'an appeared in the guard courtyard, and when she saw Yan'er's body, she asked, "What the hell is going on? I said Yan'er, this girl, why is she not in the house all day today? It turns out that something happened to her, where did she go?"

"She went to kill the Queen Mother. Li Yao lowered his head and replied quietly.

"Oh my God! she ...... How could she do this?" Princess Yan'an was frightened, and she stretched out her hand to cover her small mouth and exclaimed.

She never imagined that Yan'er would have the audacity to kill Wu Zetian, which really made her unable to figure it out, and she didn't know why Yan'er did this.

Li Yao definitely wouldn't tell Princess Yan'an the truth, and after standing there and thinking for a few seconds, Li Yao said to Princess Yan'an: "Princess, she went to kill the Queen Mother for you." ”

"For me?" Princess Yan'an was dumbfounded.

"Yes, didn't you recognize the Queen Mother as a godmother? Yan'er has always felt unfair, you are her master, so she has always hidden this hatred in her heart, so she did a stupid thing, wanting to get rid of the Queen Mother for the princess, but in the end she died tragically in the palace, in pain. For the sake of Princess An Yan'an's heart, Li Yao had to make up such a white lie.

At least if he says this, he will be able to find a reasonable reason for Yan'er's killing, as long as Princess Yan'an does not doubt in her heart, then with Li Yao's words just now, Princess Yan'an will be able to bury Yan'er, which is absolutely undoubted.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yao's words fell, Princess Yan'an's tears came down, and she choked up and said to Li Yao: "I can't imagine that this girl is so loyal to this princess, this princess really treated her badly before, she is dead now, and this princess should bury her!"

"Princess, then she'll be handed over to you. Li Yao replied very reluctantly.

"You want to go back to the palace?" asked Princess Yan'an.

Li Yao nodded noncommittally.

Yan'er died, he naturally wanted to go back to Anwu Zetian's heart, after all, the two still had a deal because of Yan'er, and the premise of this transaction was that Yan'er was alive, if Yan'er died, then this transaction between the two would be a bit dispensable, Wu Zetian has always been a suspicious woman.

If Li Yao doesn't go back to calm her mind now, then it is estimated that Wu Zetian will not give him a good life.

When Princess Yan'an saw Li Yao so embarrassed, she could only say helplessly: "When Yan'er has a funeral, bury her, and let her be buried in peace, you can go back!"

"She went to kill the Queen Mother, and I can still take her body out of the palace now, it's not easy, do you think the Queen Mother can let me stay outside the palace for a long time?" Li Yao asked painfully.

"This ......," Princess Yan'an said dumbly.

Li Yao raised his hand and bowed to Princess Yan'an, only then did he endure the discomfort in his heart, turned around and left, and threw Yan'er's body directly to Princess Yan'an, Princess Yan'an stood in place, looking at Li Yao's departing back, speechless, as if at this moment, she finally understood Li Yao's difficulty.

People who don't know say that Li Yao is doing things next to the Queen Mother now, that is to get the wind and the rain, but what they know is to understand that Li Yao has lived a very hard life, and this kind of hard work is something that others can't understand, he is in the middle of calculations and conspiracy all day long, and he can't extricate himself.

This is the current Li Yao.

And when Li Yao returned to the palace, it was already the second half of the night, and when he walked into the cabinet of the Palace of Eternal Life, he found that Wu Zetian hadn't even slept yet, but was sitting behind the long case and waiting for him quietly, which made Li Yao dumbfounded, he thought that Wu Zetian had slept early in the morning, but the truth was not what he thought.

Suppressing the hatred for Wu Zetian in his heart, Li Yao stepped forward with a smile, sat opposite Wu Zetian, and said to Wu Zetian: "Queen Mother, why is it so late at night, and you still haven't rested?"

"If you don't come back, how can the mourning family sleep?" Wu Zetian asked without answering.

"Queen Mother, the matter of Yan'er, I guess Qin Jing has reported it to you, right?" Li Yao changed the topic and took the initiative to ask about Yan'er.

Wu Zetian nodded silently and didn't say a word, but the unhappy expression on her face was unmistakable.

When Li Yao saw Wu Zetian's appearance, he said again: "When I went, Yan'er had already committed suicide by biting his tongue, and I am also very sad now." ”

"Is she really dead and faked her death?" Wu Zetian asked in a cold voice.

"It's really dead, and now the corpses are still in the princess's mansion in Yan'an, Huaiyi handed it over to the princess, let the princess take care of her, Huaiyi also wants to ask the queen mother for guilt, I took Yan'er's body out of the palace without the permission of the queen mother, it's my fault, and ask the queen mother to condemn it." Li Yao hurriedly lowered his head and took the initiative to ask Wu Zetian for his guilt.

He knew that at this time, it was better for him to take the initiative, otherwise, once Wu Zetian came to ask him about his sin, it would not be a matter of the past that he could talk about in a few words, Li Yao was not a fool, of course he understood what he should do now.

Wu Zetian originally wanted to divide Yan'er's five horses, if it weren't for Li Yao and her trading to protect Yan'er, Yan'er would have died early in the morning, so Yan'er has committed suicide now, which is in line with Wu Zetian's will, Wu Zetian doesn't want to offend Li Yao now, but wants to make sure that Li Yao's deal with her doesn't count.

After sitting there for a while, Wu Zetian raised a smile on his face and said to Li Yao: "It's just a corpse, the mourning family won't blame you, the mourning family just wants to ask you now, the deal you made with the mourning family before is it still counting?"

Of course, Huaiyi promised the Queen Mother, so it had to be done. Li Yao sat up straight and replied to Wu Zetian sonorously.

"Good, good. Wu Zetian said three times in a row, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Li Yao forced himself to pull up a smile and cater to Wu Zetian, looking very indifferent, Wu Zetian also thought that Li Yao did not have any painful feelings about Yan'er's death, but how did she know that Li Yao was just forcing a smile, and behind this forced smile, Li Yao had a heartache like a knife.

Li Yao wanted to reach over now, directly choke Wu Zetian's neck, and kill her, but Li Yao's heart kept ringing the words of Concubine Xian, that is, if you want to make Wu Zetian suffer, you will first achieve her throne, and then destroy her throne and pull her down from the pinnacle of power.

At that time, it should be the most painful time for Wu Zetian.
