Chapter 3: Martyrdom

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Rong Yan's face was pale but she smiled brightly, tilting her head and putting her face into Helian Qi's thick palm with a thin callus, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of infatuation and joy.

Helian Qi was unmoved, sneered and withdrew his hand, when Rong Yan's legs were weak and awkwardly walked towards the dragon couch, he leaned towards the bookcase casually, and the cloak embroidered with flowers spread down from behind, the atmosphere was luxurious, and when he closed his eyes, the whole person was as independent as a mountain.

Helian Mo was still lying on the ground, and when he opened his eyes and saw Rong Yan squatting down, he opened his mouth to speak.

He couldn't make a sound, so he could only stretch out his raised hand to Rong Yan with all his might.

Rong Yan didn't use a dagger, she took a soft pillow on the dragon couch, and as a shadow covered it, the pillow covered Helian Mo's face.

At the last moment, Helian Mo finally grabbed the corner of Rong Yan's clothes, grabbed it tightly, the blood vessels on the back of his thin hand burst out, but the corner of his mouth was with a smile.

When he felt a tear hit his forehead, Helian Mo asked intermittently with difficulty, "Rong Yan, have you, have you ever loved me?" ”

"The emperor rest in peace, the concubines will guard this country." Rong Yan only whispered this.

After a long time, Rong Yan took off the pillow.

Helian Mo was breathless, and his bruised face was relieved, not hateful.

Anyway, he can't survive tonight, he has been forcibly taking it for so many years, and now he can use his life to save Rong Yan's life.

He hoped that Rong Yan could live, no matter how she lived.

The thirty-three-year-old emperor died of a serious illness, and the death knell bell rang again and again, and the whole country mourned.

Rong Yan walked over to Helian Qi in the ninth bell, her skirt spread, knelt beside the tall man's lap, and whispered, "In the future, our son Yi'er still needs the assistance of the regent, please accept the worship of the mourning family." ”

Mourning home? Helian Qi tasted Rong Yan's self-title, felt very funny, played with the wrench on his thumb, looked down at Rong Yan with his eyelids lowered and arrogant, full of oppression, "Betrayed her ex-husband and entered the palace to inherit the emperor, gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor in five years to consolidate his position, and then killed the emperor to support his son to ascend the throne...... Rong Yan, I only learned today that you are such a power-loving woman. ”

"But," Helian Qi's long eyebrows flew obliquely into his sideburns, as straight as a sword, his face lines were as sharp and superior as a knife, and his cold gaze fell on Rong Yan's white and soft hands.

That hand can give him ecstasy and happiness, and it can also cover the emperor who loves her and does not hesitate to rob the wife of his courtier's brother to lose the country, what a perfect two extremes.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do this queen mother."

Helian Qi stepped out, the black embroidered cloak swept across the high threshold of the main hall, the arc of the stroke was sharp and smooth, and the back was still majestic and unattainable under the dark clouds and heavy sky, and disappeared from Rong Yan's sight in an instant.

Rong Yan finally couldn't support it and sat on the ground, covered in cold sweat, spreading out the hands that had just covered Helianmo to death, her heart was filled with endless fear, panic and grief.

But she had to move forward, survive, and keep Helian Yi and the country, which was the only thing she had to do at the moment.

So it was just a short period of losing her soul, so Rong Yan put away all her useless emotions, stood up and walked to her palace.

The palace maids of the Lizheng Palace greeted them, and Rong Yan instructed the palace maids to welcome the snow and send water to the dormitory.

She didn't let people serve, she took off her clothes and soaked in warm water, and the exhaustion of her body swept over her in an instant.

It's true that he was made very comfortable by Helian Qi last night, but the consequence of indulgence is that he can't even close his legs.

Compared with the bloody and arrogant on the wedding night five years ago, Helian Qi, who is now in his prime, is bad after precipitation, which makes people unable to cope with losing his soul in the process, I am afraid that it is caused by experiencing many women.

Rong Yan felt a lot more comfortable in the warm water, and she was a little drowsy, but she had to cheer up.

She dealt with the scratches on her neck, covered it up again, and wore plain clothes, no powder, and simple accessories.

But when she was sitting on the phoenix throne in the hall, she still made the concubines who came to see her feel the power and luxury of being the queen of the main palace.

"Queen Rong, please save us......" Helianmo's concubines are all young and beautiful, and they are all wearing filial piety clothes at this moment, they "lala" knelt on the ground to Rong Yan, sobbing and pleading.

Helian Mo was not obsessed with beauty during his lifetime, and Rong Yan was there, so these women in his harem had almost no grace on weekdays, some were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they had never even seen Helian Mo's face, and most of them had never slept in bed.

But even so, in order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, Daqi has always implemented the system of "mother and son are expensive".

That is, as long as the harem women give birth to the prince, they will all be executed, whether it is a palace maid, a concubine or even a queen.

This cruel system caused everyone in the harem to be in danger, and no concubine was willing to give birth to a prince, so Helianmo changed the system to after his death, those concubines who had a prince would be buried for him.

At this moment, the prince's concubines begged for Rong Yan, and the ruthless regent who was not afraid of the prince would also let them be martyred for Helian Mo.

Rong Yan's arm was on the armrest of the phoenix seat, and a long string of beads was twisted one by one in her slender and beautiful fingers, indifferent and noble, looking at these girls who were like flowers and jade.

Their worries are unfounded.

Because in the previous life, when Rong Yan's soul wandered around Helian Qi after his death, he saw that all the women in Helian Mo's harem, including the palace maids, were indeed buried under Helian Qi's will.

The concubines didn't wait for Rong Yan's response for a long time, and the concubine who had a son raised her head from the ground to look at Rong Yan, she didn't deal with Rong Yan on weekdays, and at this moment she was even more sneering, "The fourth prince has become the new emperor, so the first one to bear the brunt of the burial for the first emperor is the biological mother of the four princes, Queen Rong is now difficult to protect herself, how can she keep us?" ”
