Wei Zhen put Prince Zheng's coffin into the Fusang Palace and parked it with the Buddha.

When his colleagues heard the news of the death of the prince, they all beat their chests and feet, and they were in pain. Among them, the eldest grandson Wuzheng, Yuan Qin, and Cai Hezong came to worship on the same day, and after Su Yan returned the salute one by one, he didn't speak, and everyone was very distressed.

The next day, Fang Dynasty Province wore Xuanse regular clothes, wore a dark crown, solemn and mournful, and after being silent and incense, he ordered his entourage and Ah Yu to go to the outside of the palace to guard, and then said to Su Yan: "Zuo Qing asked someone to pass the word to the minister, he has arrived in Mobei, temporarily living in Dengyu, if the mother wants to leave, the minister can follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Su Yan's eyes were filled with hope for a moment, "What Lord Fang said is true?" ”

"Why lie to the mother?"

Su Yan wanted to hold the coffin up, shook his legs, and knelt back again. Fang Chao hurriedly pressed her shoulder lightly and sighed softly: "Zuo Qing has been waiting for you there, he thinks that you will go to see him one day, it seems that he guessed right." But why did you sacrifice your happiness? ”

"It seems that Lord Fang knows everything, so... Have you told Zuo Qing everything? ”

"I didn't have time, but sooner or later we'll know. What are your own plans, and have you thought about how to leave? I'll listen to your ideas before I make changes. ”

"I'll wait for Yanzhen to come back, and then I'll escape Ruoshui with him at night."

Fang Chao stroked his beard, his eyes were heavy, "I'm afraid that the general is alone, and it really can't be done without help, I will send a few people with good skills to you, and arrange them outside the palace, and I will send someone to guard the city gate on the general's side, and once he comes back, I will immediately make peace with him." When the time comes, you leave through the Yusamon Gate, and as for the guards there, I will find a way to support them, and once you leave the palace, you will be safe. ”

Su Yan bowed to him gratefully, "Su Yan thanked the Lord for saving his life, and there is no way to repay it!" ”

Fang Chao hurriedly helped her up, "Zuo Qing is kind to me, and it is my honor to be able to help you." ”

Two days later, nothing happened in the palace, and the wind was calm, but there was a vague sense that another storm was coming.

The Fuso Hall was lit with candles, the gray curtains hung down, and countless sparks spun out of the incense burners on the ground, bypassing the curtains and turning into ashes.

One day, only one day, Yan Zhen will be back, he will take them away and never be hurt again.

Ah Yu knelt down to her side, rubbed her knees for her, and was so distressed that she burst into tears, "Niangniang, you have been kneeling for three days, shall we go to sleep first?" ”

Su Yan's back was straight, and his eyes looked at the coffin firmly, "I want to wait for Yanzhen to come back." ”

"The general will be back tomorrow, you go to sleep first, and I will tell you to do it when it comes?"

"I'm afraid I've fallen asleep. Who's coming? Su Yan seemed to hear footsteps and was approaching.

The door of the temple did not face the mourning hall, but needed to pass through an outer room, and those footsteps entered the temple door and turned into the mourning hall. Ah Yu shook her mother excitedly, "It's a student of the academy!" ”

Su Yan raised his eyes and saw that his heart, which had been numbed for the past three days, was fluctuating violently at this time.

The eldest grandson Yue took Jin Qi's hand and went over, and behind him were Sun Ziliang, Ran Ying, and Jin Qi. Behind a row of heads, there was a person who moved a few steps to the side and stood up, it was Liang Qiluo. Jin Qi hugged Changsun Yue and cried all the time, crying silently, Changsun Yue hurriedly covered her mouth and warned in a low voice: "Mr. finally stopped crying, you came to lure her again!" Jin Qi knew that he was too excited, so he hurriedly turned around and wiped away his tears. The rest of the people also wiped their tears frequently, hung their heads, and couldn't bear to look at the coffin.

Su Yan opened his dry lips and said to them, "Let's incense first." ”

After bowing to the incense one by one, the eldest grandson Yue hurriedly comforted Su Yan: "Princess Dechang has passed away, the whole country mourns, and the academy must also serve three months of mourning. Niangniang try to relax, don't torture yourself, we students have always been behind you to support you. ”

Everyone hurriedly responded. Jin Qi sobbed: "Originally, we were going to come three days ago, but my parents at home blocked it, thinking that Mr. Ge was posthumously named Princess Dechang, and we were not qualified to enter the palace to worship, and it was all up to the eldest grandson Yue, who helped us think of a way." Sir, if you want, we will accompany you for the rest of the day! ”

Su Yan was very relieved, but shook his head and declined, "Let's go, don't embarrass your family, it's enough to have me here, I don't think Buddha Zhen likes a lot of people, so let me give her a ride at the end, quietly." ”

"Mr. Su, if you have a place where you can use us, let Ah Yu pass on a word, I live in Changsun Mansion now, although I don't have much strength, but as long as you need it, I will not give up!" Liang Qiluo said with some excitement.

Ran Ying also promised: "We all know that Mr. Su does not live well in the palace, you can rest assured, my aunt has become the master of the harem, my father and brothers are in power, as long as Mr. Su says a word, our Ran family will not hesitate to lose this position for Mr." ”

Su Yan nodded and thanked them for their kindness: "I know that you are all good to me, and I appreciate your kindness, but really don't risk it for me, you all go back, thank you." ”

Although he still wanted to persuade her, the eldest grandson Yue tugged at her clothes and motioned for her not to say anything more.

Ah Yu persuaded everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Niangniang is in a bad mood, please please come back, your kindness is really appreciated, but Niangniang just wants to give the princess a ride at the end, and the rest, let's talk about it later." ”

The eldest grandson Yue nodded, indicating that he understood, and led everyone to retreat.

Su Yan looked at the backs of them leaving and took a deep breath, "Ah Yan." ”

"In!"

"Do me a favor."

Ah Yu looked worried, "What do you want to do?" ”

"You go along, let the eldest grandson go to the Guluan Pavilion, and help me get a lacquered wooden box that grows in my hands. Bring it in tonight. ”

Ah Yu was relieved when he heard that he was just running errands. If she was asked to follow her mother to kill someone, she couldn't stand the bloody scene and hurriedly retreated.

Su Yan bent over and took a handful of wheat straw and threw it into the stove, there was a crackling sound, and the firelight raged in front of her, reflecting her face a little blurred.

The next day, Wei Zhen came to accompany her, and after putting on the incense, he wanted to kneel beside her, Su Yan said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and it is not in accordance with the rules to guard the soul of the Buddha, and please leave early after the incense." "Well, give him a salute.

"The Buddha's death is to blame for me, and the guardian should be the one."

"No, you don't."

Wei Zhen knelt or stand, he froze there for a while, and had to get up, "Ah Yan, how can you forgive me?" ”

Su Yan didn't look into his eyes, and threw himself into the stove, "Never." ”

"Do you want to wait for Yanzhen to come back and leave with him?"

Su Yan's hand stopped in mid-air, and after a moment, it was back to normal.

"Your Majesty thinks too much, the palace is heavily guarded, it's not like I can leave if I want to."

Wei Zhen smiled bitterly: "Heavily guarded? Scold! Yan Zhendu led the rebels to break through the city gates. The Praetorian Guard suffered many casualties, and now, he has attacked the second royal gate, and it doesn't take half a pillar of incense to break through the fifth royal gate and kill me in front of me. ”

The wheat straw in Su Yan's hand trembled, and he looked up at Wei Zhen in shock. He added: "In the last royal gate, I have laid a net of heaven and earth, and once he comes in, there will be no return. ”

"What do you say? Ambush! Su Yan forgot about the knee injury and quickly got up, "Impossible! Yan Zhen has been dismissed, where did he come from the rebels? You're lying to me, you're trying to blackmail me, aren't you? ”

Wei Zhen said: "He falsely passed on the secret decree of the Emperor Taishang, and lied that I was seeking power and usurping the throne at the beginning, and now the Emperor Taishang is in danger of being coerced by me, so he dispatched all the Praetorian Guards to rescue me and kill me." Ah Yan, what do you mean? You want to kill me? ”

"Impossible, Yan Zhen will not rebel, you... What will you do to him? ”

"He wants to kill me, how can I tolerate him?"

"No! You can't kill him! Su Yan's miserable eyes were almost oozing blood, "You have already killed the Buddha, if you still want to hurt my remaining relatives, unless you kill me first!" ”

He sneered, "Ah Yan, listen, the sound of the fight has broken through, he really wants to kill me, for the sake of the singer and you, he can't easily give up this opportunity." ”

Sure enough, there was a sound of fighting, almost destroying the world, and it was already forcing towards the Fusang Palace.

"No, he won't! Not really. Su Yan tugged at his sleeve and begged him, "You can do whatever you want me to do, but you can't hurt him!" But Wei Zhen was indifferent.

"Ah Yan, when you entered the palace that night, you told me that you volunteered to stay, but before that moment, in fact, I had already given up and wanted to let you go... But you gave me hope, you know, it was that little bit of hope that made me never want to let go. In fact, in the final analysis, we are all wrong. ”

Su Yan sat down on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks.

originally thought that Wei Zhen was the source of all suffering, and it was his selfishness that hurt his father and Buddha from beginning to end. It turned out that the culprit was herself, and she was the one who harmed everyone!

Su Yan closed her eyes, she thought, if the pain and hatred of the past two years is just a dream, after waking up from the dream, Buddha is still sitting in front of the window, his eyebrows and eyes are cold, but there is a touch of warmth at the corner of his mouth, the master came in, smiled and threw her plum blossom brew, beside him, and his father...

But when I opened my eyes, there was nothing.

"Ah Yan, now, we can't turn back, even if I don't kill him, those old ministers will not easily agree to let him go, killing the king and rebelling is a capital crime!"

Wei Zhen stared at her calmly, but his heart was like a knife. He really wanted to be willful, but for Rong Guo and the court, he couldn't do this.

Little by little, he pulled out the sleeve of his coat and strode away without looking back.

He can't be like Zuo Qing who doesn't want anything for Ah Yan, between the throne and Ah Yan, he can't give up anyone!
