Screams arose one after another on Dongchang Street, and the people panicked and fled in a hurry.

Zhang Yan looked up at the sky.

It was nearly noon, when the sun was at its most intense, and a round of red sun hanging in the sky of Chang'an was dull, and its northeast was missing a horn at some point, and the greedy "tengu" was swallowing the sun at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tengu eclipse was too terrifying, and the sound of bells and drums in Chang'an City rang out from the Yang Palace, and in an instant, all the lifang should be in harmony at the same time. The people in the east city ran in a panic, not knowing the direction, the door panel of the market was closed by the owner one by one, and the sound of the utensils falling to the ground came from time to time, even Lang Wei, who was guarding Liu Ying and Zhang Yan, panicked for a moment, and it was too late to see the master in front of the carving, Zhang Yan was scattered by the fleeing people a few steps, and finally stood firm, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sun in the air was swallowed by the "heavenly dog", and Chang'an City suddenly fell into the night.

Zhang Yan turned her head and looked in the direction where Liu Ying was standing, and was about to call out, when she suddenly heard Liu Ying turn around, couldn't find herself, and shouted, "Ah Yan, Ah Yan?" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned, and suddenly felt that all the movement was blocked in her throat, standing in place, and suddenly she couldn't make a sound.

"Ah Yan, where are you?"

At that time, Liu Ying couldn't find his wife, so she ran in the direction where Zhang Yan was standing, and continued to call her name. His voice and the background of the bells and drums of the East City were full of panic, and she could even hear a hint of fear in his voice.

What is he afraid of?

Zhang Yan didn't understand.

Over the years, their husband and wife have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and they have been in harmony with each other, and now, there is already a good and Tongzi under their knees, and everything looks so beautiful, at this moment. Zhang Yan stood in the empty crowd that was scattered all over the street, and found that for the first time, she couldn't guess the thoughts of the person next to her pillow.

Chang'an City after the Tiangu Food Day seemed to fall into real night, and no pedestrians on the other side could be seen within five feet. Liu Ying hurriedly instructed Lang Wei beside him, "Go find the queen mother quickly." ”

Lang Wei was alarmed and responded, "Yes." "Scattered in all directions, looking for the whereabouts of Empress Zhang in the East City. No one knew that she was standing four or five paces away from them, "watching" their movements. Liu Ying stood in place anxiously waiting for Lang Wei to send her news, and her restless movements showed that she was very anxious.

The people of this era believed in "the divine right of kings" and "the unity of heaven and man". It is believed that "Heaven" is a god with a will and personality who governs the world and gives signs and warnings to the world through astrological changes. Only "the sun does not eclipse, the stars do not contradict" is the "peaceful and prosperous age", and the "tengu eclipse the sun" is the most serious warning from the heavens to the emperors of the world, if the tengu eats the entire sun, it means that the monarchs of the world are immoral.

is Liu Ying, who is now the emperor. It is also this kind of education that I have received since childhood, and I am convinced.

But even so, Liu Ying should never be so frightened, his appearance, it seems, as if he is afraid of a very terrifying thing happening.

Zhang Yan's mind was heavy. Laboriously lifted a pair of legs that seemed to be filled with lead, and slowly walked in front of Liu Ying, opening a pair of apricot eyes. I want to see the expression on his face. But the "night" was so dark that she could only see the vague outline with all her strength, and nothing else.

Liu Ying noticed her movement and was stunned. He asked, "Ah Yan." Is that you? ”

Zhang Yan did not answer.

The sun was swallowed in the stomach by the tengu, and after staying for such a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he struggled to hold on to a glimmer of skylight. The long street has also regained a little bit of luminosity. Liu Ying took advantage of the twilight of the sky to see the face of the woman in front of her clearly, the fallen bun was piled up above her head like a dark cloud, the pale eyebrows like a distant mountain, and the apricot kernel was rippling, which one was not Zhang Yan? couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and hugged his wife fiercely, "Ah Yan," the voice was slack with great relief after being tense,

"It's okay, it's good you're still here." It's like prostration!

Zhang Yan buried her pink face deep in Liu Ying's arms, and replied softly, "Hmm." I'm here! ”

I've always been here!

The speed at which the tengu eats the sun is very fast, and the speed at which it spits out is also very fast, but in a moment, the light in the eastern city is a little brighter. The soldiers of the Southern Army stationed in the south of Chang'an City were forced out one after another to maintain order in Chang'an City. Lang Wei, who scattered out to look for Zhang Yan, also caught a glimpse of her figure from a distance, quietly turned back, and waited in the dark.

Liu Ying pursed her lips, regained the calmness and grooming of the Son of Heaven, and let go of Zhang Yan's hand, "Go back to the palace immediately!" "His expression was solemn and dignified.

***********************************

Hanguang Pavilion, Yuan Luo looked sickly, leaned on the couch in the dormitory, and said patiently, "...... Please go back and tell the master to wait a little longer. Yuan Luo has her own way of acting! Ulan, serve tea to your father-in-law. ”

"Yes." Ulan curtsied.

"Forget it!" Xiao Huangmen opened the tea served by the palace people, "Beautiful lady, the slave maid has a word of advice for you, it is good to have a big heart, but you also have to see if you can do it." You coerced our master and apprentice with the past, but there is no rule so far. The second prince is almost 100 days old now, do you plan to wait until the second prince is 100 years old to deal with the middle palace and support your precious son? ”

A trace of anger flashed in Yuan Luo's eyes, and she reluctantly endured it, and said with a smile, "Now that Empress Zhang is powerful, we can only avoid the limelight, but I can always find the ...... to deal with her!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the light in the hall of light suddenly dimmed, and the screams of the palace people outside the hall came and went, only the two candles in the room still emitted a glowing light, and the light was soft. Yuan Luo's face with little blood left turned pale with shock, and he looked at Wulan Dao, "Go out and see what's wrong?" ”

Ulan trembled and responded to the "promise", went out of the hall to visit, exclaimed, ran back and knelt in the pavilion, "Lady, the tengu has eaten the sun." ”

"Tengu Eclipse Day?" Yuan Luo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a very bright blood color surged on her face, and she raised her chin and looked down at Xiao Huangmen, "Go back and tell your master, I'm ready to start acting." ”

"Hahaha," she laughed insolently, "you say, I've waited so long." I can't find a way to deal with Queen Zhang, but at this time, the tengu is eating the sun, isn't this the opportunity God gave me? ”

The sun completely broke free from the shackles of the tengu and shone brightly over Chang'an City again, the bells and drums of the various squares gradually subsided, the people regained their courage and walked out of their homes again, and the Son of Heaven also returned to the Xuanmu Palace, and everything seemed to be back to normal. But the impact of this Tengu Eclipse is far more than what has been seen so far.

The "Tengu Eclipse Day" happened. It means that the gods are very dissatisfied with the kings of the world, but of course the king of a country cannot do wrong, and the prime minister in charge of the government can only bear this responsibility. Since the pre-Qin period, it has been a common practice, if this is the case. There will be a prime minister who will invite himself to calm the people's discussions.

Since the late Marquis of Anguo became seriously ill, there are now two prime ministers in the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping, the left prime minister, and Zhou Bo, the right prime minister. Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, was a martial artist, although he was in the position of prime minister. But he is not very proficient in political affairs, and all the power in the DPRK and China falls into the hands of Chen Ping, the prime minister of the left. Therefore, this time the sky changes, there is no doubt that Chen Ping, the prime minister of Zuo, should be responsible.

All of a sudden. The eyes of the Manchu officials were all on the body of Qu Rebel Hou Chen Ping, but Qu Rebel Hou Chen Ping was still attached to the scenery of governing the country and was reluctant to hand over the excerpt of his own invitation.

When the storm was dark above the court, Zhang Yan was alone in the Jiaofang Hall and teased the baby Tongzi with a rattle, "Tongzi." What do you say you're afraid of? ”

Kiriko didn't understand her own Ah Weng Ah Niang's nine twists and turns, and she babbled and screamed. A pair of inky phoenix eyes chased the rattle in Zhang Yan's hand, and the giggling children's voices resounded throughout the Jiaofang Palace.

Zhang Yan slightly frowned a pair of good-looking Yuanshan Dai eyebrows into two curved cage smokes, these days, Liu Ying came and went in a hurry, between her eyebrows and eyes, although she would go back to the Jiaofang Palace every night to sleep, but obviously, the mood was much lower than before.

When the tengu eclipse occurred that day, he only pushed and rubbed away a few steps, but he felt that he would suddenly disappear by his side, which was already very ridiculous in itself, thinking that when he was lost, he was too frightened, and later when he found that he was safe, he showed that he was too safe. All of these phenomena indicate that his mind is related to himself. But now that he has everything, he is by his side in a good manner, and Kiriko is very healthy and lively, what can make him so worried and afraid?

The thoughts in her mind were chaotic, and she couldn't think of a clue, and suddenly felt a light in her hand, and the rattle had been snatched up by the baby Tongzi, but she couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground with a thud. Tongzi Baby was very puzzled, looked at A-Niang, looked at the emptiness of his hand, pouted, and cried.

"Tongzi is ......," Zhang Yan hurriedly coaxed.

Kiriko ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep. The sky outside the Jiaofang Hall gradually dimmed, and the eighteen palace lamps in the hall glowed warmly, Zhang Yan asked, "Heather, what time is it?" ”

"Niangniang," Shi Nan's voice replied respectfully, "It's already the beginning of Youchu." ”

"Youchu?" Zhang Yan frowned.

At this time on weekdays, Liu Ying had already returned to the Jiaofang Palace, but since the occurrence of the Tengu Eclipse Day, he has come back very late in the past few days.

She instructed, "Send someone to the Xuanmu Hall to ask Guan Sheng when His Majesty will return." ”

Shi Nan bowed his knees, waited for a while, and came back and replied, "Niangniang, Wang Xi of the Xuanshu Palace said that His Majesty is busy dealing with some court affairs, and he will have to wait a little longer to come back." ”

Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and then responded, "Got it." ”

She muttered, "Your Majesty is busy so late, I'm afraid that dinner will not be used very well." Let Cen Niang boil a yam beef soup and send someone to make supper for His Majesty! ”

Fu Yao waited outside the Xuanshu Hall for a while carrying the Zhu lacquer painted Hongyan Liang food box, and when he saw Huangmen Wang Xi coming out, he said to her with a smile, "Your Majesty announced that you will go in." ”

She hurriedly responded, and followed Wang Xi into the Xuanshu Palace, the heavy Xuanshu lichen spread in the Xuanshu Hall was soft and silent on the top, and the curtain of the colored Chen Liujin was hung on the pillars and beams in the hall and gently tied, and the inner servants and the servants were cautious in the meantime, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and they couldn't help but sigh and bow to the emperor sitting on the top, "The slave has seen everyone." "Don't dare to look up.

Liu Ying raised her head and said, "Get up." Did the queen mother ask you to come? ”

"Yes." Fu Yao put the food box in front of his knee and replied gently, "The queen mother heard that everyone was tired of political affairs, so she specially ordered the kitchen of Jiaofang Hall to make a yam beef soup, saying that this soup is good for qi, and let the slaves and maids send it to Your Majesty to make supper for Your Majesty."

Liu Ying was silent for a while and said, "Bring it up." ”

Guan Sheng took the food box in Fuyao's hand and mentioned Liu Ying's case. Uncover the lid of the food box, take out the yam beef soup, and serve it in front of Liu Ying. This bowl of yam beef soup is still steaming, the heat is very old, Liu Ying looked at the soup with abundant food and rich color, her expression was slightly complicated, she sighed softly, and took the copper ladle on the side, and ate the yam beef soup one bite at a time.

Fuyao quietly raised his head in His Highness, and saw that the yam beef soup had been exhausted, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

By the time Liu Ying finished his political affairs and returned to the Jiaofang Palace, the night was already dark, and Tu Ying came out, bowed in front of Liu Ying, and reminded softly, "Everyone, the queen has already slept." ”

Liu Ying asked softly, "How is the second prince?" ”

Tu Yu said with a smile, "The second prince played with the queen mother in the Jiaofang Hall for a while, and he was so tired that he had already fallen asleep. The eldest princess came to greet the queen mother at night, and now she has also returned to the dormitory to rest. ”

Liu Ying nodded, entered the dormitory, put up the vermilion four-top embroidered acacia flower tent that was put down, and saw Zhang Yan lying in the quilt.

She was lying on her side on the couch, already asleep, her bright face was flushed, the green silk fell scattered under her, and her long eyelashes were combed over her eyelids, lazy and tranquil, like an elf who did not mess with mortal dust.

This is his cherished Ah Yan, the woman he loves most in his life, and he has vowed to hold her in the palm of his hand for the rest of his life and not let her suffer a trace of suffering. Liu Ying's eyes showed a resolute look, no matter what, he always had to keep his oath to Ah Yan, protect Ah Yan, and block all the wind and rain from this Jiaofang Palace.

……

Zhang Yan slept in a daze, and dimly felt some movement around her, and after a while, a person slept beside her, and the familiar manly breath lingered in her nose. He muttered, "Hold on? ”

"I'm here." In the haze, Liu Ying's answer came, and a shallow sigh in the gentleness and firmness was conveyed directly to her heart through her ears.

The corners of her lips curled up in her sleep, she calmed down, put her body into her husband's arms, hugged his shoulders, and kissed the corners of Liu Ying's lips vaguely!
