Chapter 001: Two Heavens
The sea is crossing, the world is unpredictable, and the fate is unknown.
The palace change in the first year of Yongning in Ningyue Kingdom, after all, with the passage of time, has become a shallow shadow in the memory of the world.
Xiao Ling was imprisoned, Xiao Yi ascended the throne, Ningyue changed hands, changed the dynasty, and continued to use the Yongning year name, which was the second year of Yongning.
In order to distinguish Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi, the two emperors with Yongning as the year name, Xiao Ling was called Emperor Yongning and Xiao Yi was called the new Emperor of Yongning.
The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the old habits of the past dynasty, and made drastic changes to eliminate many shortcomings of the Ningyue court over the years, because of the appointment of the previous emperor's edict, and the support of the old ministers of Ningyue such as Hou and Yang Ge Lao, the policy of the new emperor was prohibited, and it was supported and supported by many people.
It's just three months, and the whole country of Ning Yue has taken on a new look.
Just when the people of Ningyue Kingdom applauded the policies of the new Emperor Yongning, the Ningyue court changed from the hustle and bustle of the past and became silent.
Xiao Ling's concubines were sent to Chuxiu Palace, where they were said to be sent to practice and sent special guards to guard them, and they were not allowed to leave for life;
In the huge palace, only Xiao Yi was left, occasionally landing in the imperial city, overlooking the prosperous world, as if he could still see Mu Qingchen standing here, with an indifferent and desperate expression on his face.
The Ruyi Baijie Huancui Concentric Lock has been taken down by Xiao Yi, and the piece left by Fengzao Palace is placed in one place, and it is placed in the brocade box of the Longchen Palace's dormitory.
At the end of March of the second year of Yongning, the Ministry of Rites played a book, inviting Xiao Yi, the new emperor of Yongning, to choose a concubine for the heir of the emperor of Ningyue and enrich the harem.
Originally, according to the regulations of Ningyue Kingdom, the concubine should be chosen in March of the second year of Yongning, if the palace change did not happen, then the concubine who should be chosen at this time is Emperor Xiao Ling of Yongning.
Xiao Yi rejected the proposal of the Ministry of Rites on the grounds that he had just ascended the throne and the court was not stable, and issued an edict in the early dynasty, saying that the queen had only been going for three months, and it was not appropriate to choose a concubine.
All the ministers know that the queen in Xiao Yi's mouth refers to Mu Qingchen, the jade hook princess of Tianxing Kingdom, Mu Qingchen was buried in the sea of fire in Fengzao Palace as Princess Yi, Xiao Yi issued an order to posthumously crown Queen Jingde and bury her with the queen's ceremony, she is naturally the queen of Ningyue Country.
However, everyone knows that if Mu Qingchen is still alive, then she will never become the queen of the Ningyue Kingdom, because she is the princess of the Tianxing Kingdom, although the marriage is for peace and friendship, but for the sake of the Ningyue Kingdom for thousands of generations, it is absolutely impossible to let a princess of an enemy country be the queen, even if she becomes the queen, her son cannot be the future prince.
Just when the people of the Condensing Moon Kingdom were worried about Xiao Yi's harem, an urgent report came from the front, saying that the 200,000 troops of the Celestial Star Kingdom were starting from Kyoto of the Celestial Star Country, gradually heading north, towards the southern border of the Condensing Moon Country.
As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked.
originally thought that after Mu Qingchen's death, the Heavenly Star Kingdom would immediately take action, but he didn't expect that the Heavenly Star Kingdom had been standing still, and it was not until now that the news of the army's abnormality came out.
After the rumors in the sky, the Ningyue Kingdom was followed by the disaster caused by the continuous rain, and then came the sudden palace change, and everyone had not recovered from the past changes, and the news that the Heavenly Star Country was raising troops to attack, how could the people's hearts be stable?
Xiao Yi issued an order and ordered General Zhao, who originally replaced Gu Yanzhao to guard the south, to find a different surname Hou to cooperate and mobilize the southern army in case of a sudden attack by the Heavenly Star Kingdom.
Although the war had not officially begun, the sky above the Condensing Moon Country was already filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
And just when the Ning Yue Kingdom was in a restless atmosphere, in a corner of the Heavenly Star Kingdom Palace, a white figure wrapped in a heavy cloak, stood at the door, looking at the peach blossoms that had already emerged in the courtyard, with a calm expression.
When she woke up, it was two months after that night.
That night, she didn't know how many secret guards she had cultivated by herself, and she didn't know how many people she had fought with, but she only remembered that after she was poisoned, she was hit by Zhang Jing with a palm, and then she was hit by an arrow, so she forcibly took Ye Xi's corpse and walked to Fengzao Palace, almost exhausting all her internal strength.
But in the end, she still couldn't bring Ye Xi out of that place.
According to Huai Jin, when Ning Chen led people into the secret passage, she was already unconscious on the ground, and the dormitory was full of fire, if they were one step late, she might really accompany Ye Xi and die there.
"Girl, it's time to drink the medicine. Huai Jin came over with the medicine and said to her.
She turned her head and looked at the girl who had been loyally following her, and felt a feeling in her heart that those who had been with her were now only Huai Jin and Ji Yu.
Ye Xi died under Xiao Yi's sword, and Jin Yan ...... Instead of her, she died in the fire of Fengzao Palace.
Shuyu said that when they were discussing how to enter the palace from the secret passage, they were heard by Jin Yan, and quietly followed behind them, entered the palace from the secret passage, and saw Mu Qingchen who was surrounded by fire and fainted to the ground, so he knew that there were people in the Ningyue Palace who wanted to be unfavorable to Mu Qingchen, and he didn't care about anything, so he chose to die here for his master.
Ning Chen and Huai Jin left from the secret passage with Qingchen, and then took Mu Qingchen out of the capital overnight and went in the direction of the Heavenly Star Country; tomorrow after leading people to save Feng Xiran from the Heavenly Prison, they escorted Feng Xiran to find Mo Senior; Mingyue also returned to the Star Picking Tower at the moment when Mu Qingchen got off the city tower, and led the Nankong Divine Doctor and Yu Xuzi and others to secretly transfer from another road; and the night dead, long before Mu Qingchen entered the palace, escorted Luo Yiyi to the Heavenly Star Country to find Lou Xiyu, and by the way, stayed in the Heavenly Star Country to arrange all the things in case there was a change.
After all, her plan ended perfectly, but there were too many changes in the middle, some changes that she didn't expect and couldn't stop, such as Ye Xi's death, such as Jinyan's death.
Qingchen took the medicine bowl from Huai Jin's hand and drank the bitter medicinal juice in one gulp, but there was no expression, as if what she drank was just an ordinary bowl of boiled water.
"Girl, although the Heavenly Star Kingdom is warmer than the Ningyue Kingdom, but now that you are not in good health, it is better to go into the house and rest. When she came out, she was going to help her into the house.
Since she woke up, she has been staying in this unique small courtyard, Mu Qingjue ordered that the people around her were not allowed to call her princess, nor were they allowed to call her princess, and Huai Jin and Zhu Yu could not reveal her identity as the owner of the Star Picking Building, so they changed their words to call her girl, and even the people around her called her girl.
This is a corner of the palace of the Tianxing Kingdom, not very remote from the harem, but it is a forbidden place, since the death of the Empress Renxiao of the Tianxing Kingdom, no one has been here again, and now Mu Qingchen is back, but he can't show his normal identity in front of people, so he can only live here.
"See the Emperor. Suddenly, the sound of the palace maid saluting came from outside, letting the people in the room know that it was Mu Qingjue who came.
Qingchen sat on the soft couch, holding her cheeks with her hands, as if she hadn't heard anything, until Mu Qingjue walked in front of her, she raised her eyes lazily and said lightly:
"You're here. ”
"General Yu has already led an army of 200,000 to the northern border. Mu Qingjue's eyes flashed with a hint of sameness, and then he spoke.
"Congratulations. Qingchen still said in a faint tone.
"Go down, all of you. Mu Qingjue suddenly spoke out and waved away the girls in the room, letting them all retreat, but Huai Jin and Zhan Yu were unmoved.
Mu Qingjue glanced at the two girls, knowing that they were Mu Qingchen's henchmen, so she didn't care, and spoke to Mu Qingchen again:
"Tell me who you really are. ”
"Brother Huang, what's the matter, can't you even recognize your sister?" Qingchen said with a light smile.
"I am seven years older than Jade Hook, when she was born, I was guarding outside, I grew up with her, I know what kind of character she is, what kind of ability she has, I know very well. Mu Qingjue said, "She may have seen too much of the intrigue in the deep palace and learned a little trick, but she will definitely not be able to make such a big move, and make the entire Ningyue Kingdom restless, and even ...... Change of dynasty. ”
"It seems that the state affairs have been busy recently, and the imperial brother is a little confused. Since the imperial brother was seven years old, he followed his father to learn the art of imperial power, followed the old general Lou to learn to march and fight, and even did not hesitate to join the army as a prince, starting from a pawn, and slowly became a deputy general, I still remember that when my father learned the news, he was also taken aback by the imperial brother. Qingchen said, "The imperial brother is busy with affairs, even if he comes to Yuning Palace, he will only sit for a while and leave, how can he know what skills the jade hook has?"
Mu Qingjue listened to Qingchen's words and gradually fell silent, but there were still some doubts in his eyes. He joined the army as a prince, and he started as a pawn, and not many people knew, and even fewer people knew his father's reaction, Qingchen was married by him, and he just woke up not long ago, if the person in front of him was not Qingchen, how could she know so many things?
It seems that he really underestimated this sister.
"Actually, why should the imperial brother hold on to this matter? You know, the expectation in the imperial brother's heart, I not only did it, but also did it better, so that the imperial brother now has a good reason to attack the Ningyue Kingdom, taking advantage of the fact that the Ningyue Kingdom has just changed the dynasty, and the people's hearts are not stable, so I will be caught off guard. Qingchen spoke again.
"When it comes to marching and fighting, I and General Lou are here, so you don't have to worry about it. You've been seriously injured and you've just woken up, so it's better to get some rest. Mu Qingjue said, turning around and leaving.
Qingchen buried his whole body in the soft couch, shrunk into a ball, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Fortunately, when she asked the hidden guard to investigate Mu Qingjue, she found a lot of unknown things, otherwise today, she really didn't know how to fool the past.
The night when the Imperial City Palace of Ningyue Kingdom changed, it had been deeply ingrained in her mind, and she often dreamed back at midnight, and the scene of Ye Xi's death in front of her eyes flashed in her mind, as well as the raging fire in Fengzao Palace.
One night apart, it is already two worlds. Now, she can only hide in this unknown courtyard, and she doesn't even have a reasonable identity.
