Chapter 198: Critically Ill?
Wei Yuanshan once promised Chu Tingxiao three things in order to get the support of Yan Guo.
The first thing is to send Princess Yongning 8,000 war horses to protect the princess, it is those war horses in the city in front of her;
The second thing is that after he ascended the throne, the Jin State will be friendly with the Yan State for generations, and the border will be exchanged, and on the day Wei Yuanshan ascended the throne, he issued a will;
As for the third thing, it is to fight against the barbarians together with the Yan Kingdom, except for a few people, no one knows the specific content.
Wei Yuanshan is a man who keeps his promises, and now that the Jin Kingdom is in ruins, the Yan Kingdom is his biggest ally, he doesn't dare, and he can't cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"Our Yan country is really short of horses, and the war horses have always come from the Western Regions, this time thank you Uncle for these 8,000 Shanyue war horses, it really solves our urgent need."
Chu Yi couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes when he saw Cen Xiao, who was in charge of these soldiers, and also showed a familiar smile.
When Wei Yuanshan saw her smile, he always had a feeling of being trapped.
The little princess's uncle seems to be a bit expensive.
Chu Yi didn't seem to be able to see his suspicious eyes, and calmly clenched his fists: "Uncle, let's say goodbye."
Wei Yuanshan nodded sadly, looked at Wei Hanyan not far behind Chu Yi, and asked in a loud voice, "Hanyan...... Are you really going to go with her?"
He already knew everything that Wei Hanyan had gone through, so he issued an edict to the world - Princess Hanyan of the Jin Kingdom had already died in the chaos to stop Qingrong.
From now on, there will be no more Jin princess Wei Hanyan in this world, only herself.
Wei Hanyan has been married to Qingrong for sixteen years, has no children, and now she only has the consciousness of twelve or thirteen years old, the imperial doctor said, at least a year and a half, at most a lifetime, Wei Hanyan may maintain such a state.
Wei Yuanshan thought to himself that maybe following Chu Yi, the "sister", would make her happier than staying in the Jin Kingdom.
Since she had lost the memories she had since she was twelve years old, the memories he hoped his sister would start over were all good.
Wei Hanyan hid behind Chu Yi and nodded cautiously: "Father, since you promised to let your sister go with me, you can't go back."
She still felt that Wei Yuanshan was the dead old Jin Emperor, with vigilance in her eyes.
Wei Yuanshan was helpless: "Don't regret it."
Wei Hanyan glanced at Xiao Yan next to him again, and asked curiously, "By the way, if we all leave, who will marry Qingrong?" Also, if even the Imperial Brother is gone, thenβ"
Xiao Yan coldly interrupted her: "Wei Hanyan, you can see clearly, I am not your imperial brother at all."
Wei Hanyan shrank and didn't speak.
Chu Yi coughed and said softly, "Hanyan, if you take a closer look, he actually looks different from Wei Yuanshan."
Wei Hanyan obediently raised his head when he heard the words of "sister", and looked at Xiao Yan carefully, his eyes changed from confusion to sudden realization: "It seems that it is really different, this son is better looking than the imperial brother?" And who are you?"
"Xiao Yan."
Wei Yuanshan: "......"
His outstretched hand hung in the air, but he didn't know whether to fall or not.
Wei Yuanshan could see that his sister was afraid and distrustful of him, but he just sighed and didn't touch her.
He tried to show a gentle smile and said, "Didn't I say it, Qingrong is dead, and there will be no high priest in the Jin Kingdom in the future, so naturally I don't need you to marry him, Hanyan, even so, do you still want to go?"
"I want to be with my sister." Wei Hanyan nodded firmly.
Chu Yi thought about it, personally led Wei Hanyan to the carriage, and told her to sit in it with peace of mind, and he would accompany her later.
"Okay, listen to my sister with smoke." Wei Hanyan's eyes were full of joy.
My sister is leaving the Jin Kingdom, my sister will no longer be drawn by the bad guys, and besides, my sister will take her away with her.
It was the brightest future she could think of.
She is free.
"That's fine."
Wei Yuanshan said solemnly to Chu Yi, "Little princess, Hanyan is not only from the Jin Kingdom
The princess is my sister, and she is even more ...... Rudai's benefactor, she had a hard time in the first half of her life, I hope she can be free to be herself in the future, everything, she will bother you."
Chu Yi said, "Uncle, don't worry."
Wei Yuanshan looked at Xiao Yan helplessly, with a little retention in his eyes: "Ah Yan, what about you, if you don't stay for a few more days, your Pingning Marquis Mansion has not yet been completed, and have you seen this Jiangcheng?"
Xiao Yan said: "The Pingning Marquis Mansion is the former princess's mansion, I came, and I have seen the place where she once lived, it is enough."
At this time, a little boy wearing a jade python robe, but only seven or eight years old, ran out from behind Wei Yuanshan and hugged his thigh.
"Brother, you just stay, this is your home!"
Wei Yuanshan looked at the boy lovingly.
Behind him, another little girl who was very similar to him also poked out her little head, looked at Xiao Yan's handsome face, her bright golden eyes were wide open, and asked, "Brother, you are so good-looking, can Baozhu marry you when she grows up?"
The two of them, one is Wei Yuanshan's second son Wei Jiaxu, and the other is Wei Yuanshan's daughter Wei Baozhu, who is also the prince and princess of the current Jin Kingdom.
These two little guys have recently come to the Pingning Marquis Mansion all day long to find Wei Hanyan, and for some reason, they also like to pester Xiao Yan.
"Marry?" Chu Yi snorted and looked at the little girl.
Wei Baozhu tugged at Xiao Yan's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't you like Baozhu?"
Wei Yuanshan explained with some embarrassment: "That, the treasure bead is back...... My brother already has the little princess Yongning of Yan Kingdom, and he won't marry you again."
Wei Baozhu glanced at Chu Yi, and then looked up at Xiao Yan: "Jin Kingdom is your home, and I am also a little princess, brother, will you marry me?"
Xiao Yan showed an embarrassed and stiff smile to Wei Jiaxu one second ago, and when he heard Wei Baozhu's words the next second, his face turned cold.
A wicked and cold smile rose on the corner of his lips, he lowered his head, his face was gloomy as water, and said to Wei Baozhu word by word: "This is not my home, and besides, I only have a little princess of Chu Yi."
Wei Baozhu had never seen him look so serious, he took a few steps back, and cried out in fright.
Xiao Yan turned a deaf ear to her crying, and even smiled more and more provocatively.
It seems that bullying a little girl who is only seven or eight years old to cry is a very proud thing.
He turned his head to look at Chu Yi, with a smile in his phoenix eyes, as if to say: Ah Yi, do you see if my answer is a full score?
Chu Yi tried his best to hide the corners of his raised lips to prevent himself from laughing, and pretended to be serious and said, "You eat too much sugar."
The mouth is so sweet.
Xiao Yan approached her and whispered in her ear, "You can taste it, and you'll know."
Chu Yi silently pushed it away and stopped talking.
After the two said goodbye to Wei Yuanshan again, Chu Yi came to Yulin Jun.
"Welcome to the princess! Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The three thousand feather forest army made a deafening sound, and their eyes were pious and fanatical.
The affairs of the Jin Kingdom have subsided, and Chu Yi does not have to deliberately hide his identity.
Chu Yi looked at Cen Xiao, and Cen Xiao's serious face was almost closed.
That's 8,000 horses.
His Majesty ordered to help Wei Yuanshan ascend the throne, and at the same time sharpened the Yulin Army, and was ready for the defeat of the Yulin Army, so he asked Wei Yuanshan to ensure the safety of the princess.
Unexpectedly, along the way, the three thousand feather forest army had almost no damage, but when they came, they were one person and one horse, and their momentum was in full swing, and they became one person, three horses, and four horses, and they had more condensed, iron-blooded and resolute breath on their bodies.
Chu Yi got into the carriage and drove in person, Wei Hanyan saw Chu Yi sitting in, and immediately threw herself into her arms, with curiosity and surprise in her eyes, and kept asking her why she could be with those Yan soldiers outside.
Chu Yi told her the reason that she had made up a long time ago, she said that because she had saved the life of the Empress of Yanguo, she had been accepted as a righteous daughter by the Emperor of Yan, and from now on, she would be the princess of Yongning of Yanguo, and Yanguo would also be her home.
"I see, my sister is really kind and rewarded, so the Emperor of Yan Kingdom won't be like my father, right?" Wei Hanyan asked again, like a curious baby.
"Don't worry, don't you believe your sister's vision?"
Wei Hanyan nodded at this time - she believed in her sister unconditionally.
"That...... The man who looks like the royal brother outside, is it a colt?" Wei Hanyan lifted the curtain again and looked at Xiao Yan, who was riding a horse on the outside of the carriage.
Chu Yi: "It's not counted......
"Who said it doesn't count." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yan had already turned over and entered the carriage, staring at Chu Yi with interest, "Some people just now were angry because of a seven or eight-year-old child."
Chu Yi: "Some people still bully seven or eight-year-old children."
Xiao Yan touched the tip of his nose, learned a lesson, and did not quarrel with Chu Yi.
Wei Hanyan asked unhappily: "My sister has said it, you are not his colt, why do you always pester your sister."
Xiao Yan's fist hardened again.
This trip to the far side, I finally got rid of the ice drink, but I had a more sticky aunt.
Why is there always someone competing with him? Or a woman?
Cen Xiao's voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, it's time to go."
Three thousand black-armored iron horsemen rolled up black waves on the plain, accompanied by the roar of iron hooves, and gradually moved away.
Above the city tower, Wei Yuanshan watched them leave from afar, his golden dragon robe was hunting and flying in the cold wind, and he was wearing the golden dragon sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist.
"Your Majesty, did you really just let Princess Hanyan and Marquis Ping Ning take away the Soul Bell?" Jiang Mufan stood beside him and asked in a low voice.
In fact, long before Xiao Yan interrogated Qingrong, His Royal Highness, no, His Majesty knew the effect of the soul bell, but he was deeply disgusted with what the royal family had done over the years, and he didn't expect that Princess Hanyan, who had no imperial blood, would also be tortured.
Wei Yuanshan looked into the distance, his dark golden eyes were deep and vast, like an endless sea.
"The soul bell has been in the hands of the royal family for a hundred years, but has anyone ever really used it to live forever? That thing is a scourge, and ...... I've lost a sister."
He had already lost one sister and could not afford to lose another.
The Emperor whispered, his voice fading in the wind.
"Maybe one day when I get old, I will become as afraid of death as the first emperor, and I want to pursue immortality, and at that time, maybe I will regret my decision at this moment...... But now, I want to be a good brother and uncle."
*
The army marched for half a month, Chu Yi and the three thousand feather Lin army originally rushed back unhurriedly, and they could also enjoy the scenery of the Jin Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom along the way, until she received a flying pigeon from Shangjing.
"Grandmother ......"
Chu Yi's fingertips trembled, and she fell to the ground through the book, her eyes full of disbelief.
Xiao Yan just picked it up, and before he could see it, Chu Yi had already turned over and got on his horse, and ordered sharply: "Everyone march in a hurry and rush back to Shangjing within three days!"
Xiao Yan didn't question it, and immediately rode a horse to follow her, and then glanced at the letterhead in his hand.
His phoenix eyes sank slightly, and he frowned.
On the letterhead, there is a clear line of ink letters:
[The Queen Mother is critically ill, come back quickly! ] γ
Chu Yi almost forgot everything around him, and only these six words remained in his mind.
How could my grandmother be critically ill?
My grandmother had always been in good health, and the imperial physician always said that she could live a long life.
In the previous life, it was because of the brutal attack on Jianbei Pass a year later that Chu Rin was killed, and the barbarian Shan Luan Timorton also wrote a letter to mock Yan Guo, and presented Chu Rin's head to his grandmother as a gift......
But now, Chu Rin is very safe, and he Meimei and Yiyun are in Shangjing, and he has not returned to Beifu yet, and now that Dayan is strong, it is impossible for the barbarians not to think of a sneak attack on Yan Kingdom.
What made my grandmother anxious never happened, how could she ......
Xiao Yan rode to her side and comforted her in a deep voice:
"Don't be afraid, let's hurry up, we can see the Queen Mother tomorrow, and the Queen Mother has always been in good health, maybe the flying pigeon passed the book wrong."
Chu Yi nodded lightly, but he still bit his lower lip, his eyes full of nervousness.
Half an hour later, two guards of the Crane Control Division appeared, proving the authenticity of the flying pigeon's biography.
The guards of the Crane Control Division said that a few days ago, the Empress Dowager Rong woke up in her sleep, and suddenly began to talk nonsense, sometimes singing and dancing, sometimes shouting and screaming, like crazy, as if drunk, and then her body immediately collapsed.
Since yesterday, the Queen Mother has been sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and she is already dying.
After the imperial doctor's examination, it could only be concluded that she was talking gibberish at first because she was sleepwalking in a nightmare, and then because she was old and failing, but she could not detect any illness anyway.
"Old and failing?"
Chu Yi asked rhetorically, she didn't believe it at all.
A grandmother who was in good health a year after her previous life could never have suddenly failed!
Xiao Yan grabbed her hand, her phoenix eyes were deep, and she said in a low voice: "That's poisoning, it's okay, if it's poisoning, there is me."
The warmth of his palm made Chu Yi slowly calm down.
She took Xiao Yan's hand back, drew warmth from him, calmed down, and said in her heart, "Grandmother, wait for Yongning to come back."
After all, the three thousand feather forest army carried a heavy load, and even if it was a rapid march, it could not catch up with Chu Yi and Xiao Yan's horses.
At this moment, he had arrived in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and after Chu Yi's advice, he handed Wei Hanyan to a female shopkeeper of the Gu family's shop, and asked her to take Wei Hanyan back to Shangjing slowly in the rear of the army, while he and Xiao Yan took the first step and rushed to Shangjing at a gallop.
------Off topic------
Yesterday I was not feeling well, and I was just vomiting and diarrhea, so I didn't update it.
It feels like the story is almost over, but it's not that fast~
