Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

For a while, the Yanjing soldiers who were being hit by Xing had no choice but to evacuate from under the city and returned to the barracks. Xue Yu looked at Nangong Yan in confusion, "Your Majesty, why did you withdraw troops in a hurry?" It is possible to capture the city.

Nangong Yanping calmed down, just now Wu Lian was in a hurry, his meridians were disordered, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing him closing his eyes and resting his mind, and ignoring himself, Xue Yu scratched his ears, so he retreated, not daring to bother him anymore.Many of the soldiers outside were injured, and the victims all stepped forward to help.

Xue Yu glanced back at Nangongyan's tent again, turned his eyes back, and walked towards the wounded.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Nangong Yan's disordered meridians stabilized. He opened his eyes, and he was the only one left in the tent.Xue Yu is good at everything, but he is not careful enough.

They were under the city just now, and they did have a chance of winning the city, but that was before Wu Lian appeared. He wanted to take Qingfeng's head and make them leaderless, so that Yanjing's soldiers could take the opportunity to attack the city.

The appearance of Wu Lian broke his plan. No matter how hard they fight, they will only suffer losses, but the chance of winning is already slim.

However, he burned down the granary of the Western Chu army last night. It will take at least five days for their rations to reach the western border. During these five days, as long as they find an opportunity, they can capture the city.

Moreover, looking at Wu Lian's expression, it seems that he had some grievances with Qingfeng before. If they had internal strife, then their chances of winning would be even greater. Therefore, he has to wait and clarify this matter before he can Make plans for the next step.

But Wu Lian's sudden appearance was really unexpected to him. He thought that the king of Xichu County would bring her by his side, but he never thought that he would send her to the western border. He didn't want him to return to Yanjing alive. up.

Thinking of this, his eyes became darker.

At this time, Xue Yu came in from the outside again, holding the urgent report from Yanjing in his hand, "Your Majesty, Yanjing just sent it!"

Nangong Yan brought over the urgent report, which was written in Gu Xia's handwriting. He said in the letter that the king of Xichu County had already raised troops to Yanjing City, and Shen Feihong was seriously injured. However, they came fiercely and had no intention of retreating. He predicted that Emperor Xichu's reinforcements would arrive soon.

If the King of West Chu attacked with reinforcements.He was worried that he would capture the city.

Nangong Yan could see Gu Xia's worry in the letter from the lines. After reading the letter, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground angrily.

Now that Yanjing City is in such a situation, he can only speed up the pace of recovering the western city and rush back to support, so that Yanjing City can get out of the predicament.

Xue Yu picked up the crumpled letter on the ground, his expression changed after reading it, and he asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to call Liu Chong back to Yanjing City?"

"Liu Chong can't leave the border gate!" Nangong Yan refuted him coldly. Once he left, the border gate would be in danger. If something happened to the border gate, he would really be beyond his reach.

Frowning, he said, "Go and check, how many people did Wu Lian bring this time?"

"Yes!"

Xue Yu hurriedly backed out.

Qingfeng's soldiers also withdrew to the city, and the city gate was closed heavily.He was supported by a small soldier, and walked towards An Xie's government office, Wu Lian followed silently.

Sit in the main hall.After he took a few breaths, he finally regained his senses. There was no sword wound on his body, but he was shocked by Nangong Yan's internal force and his meridians were damaged, which made him suffer so much.

"The matter about the green pearl was ordered by the prince of the county. You and I are doing things for him. Could it be that you want to disobey his orders?"

He heard what she yelled at Nangong Yan just now, even if it was fighting mixed with screams.

"I don't care who gave the order, in any case, her life is on your head." Wu Lian's cold eyes fell on him, making him pull his body back unconsciously.

Clenching his fists, he opened his mouth, "Now the county prince is employing people, even if it is between you and me, it should be settled after this battle is over, right?"

He is not her opponent, so he can only delay the time, and then ask King Xichu to deal with her!

"You are faithful."

Wu Lian stroked the clothes in front of her.There was sarcasm in the words.

"Aren't you always loyal to him? Otherwise, why did you make your face like this? Even the Yujian faction is all attached to the county prince."

She is not much better than him, why bother laughing at fifty steps?

In an instant, a soft sword shot out from her waist, and landed firmly on the neck that was almost cut by Nangong Yan just now, causing his body to shrink suddenly, as cold as an iceberg on weekdays, calm and composed At this moment, Qingfeng trembled under her intimidation.

"You better keep your mouth clean, otherwise I won't guarantee that you can get out of here alive!" Wu Lian leaned in front of him, her vicious eyes pressed tightly against him.

He swallowed the saliva in his throat, held his breath and said: "The granary was set on fire by the Yanjing army last night, and now the remaining rations are only enough for us to last for two days. The rescue rations brought by Western Chu must be delivered within five days Hurry up, otherwise we will all have a dead end."

"You're begging me for help?" She shot him a sideways glance.

Seeing the hesitation flashing in her eyes, Qingfeng continued: "You and I are both working for the county prince, since he sent you here, if we lose this battle, you and I don't have to live anymore. Then my life will not belong to you."

"I can kill you right now, and then leave, and let Nangong Yan take this place." Before she came, it was not without such thoughts.

"However, the princess is still in the prince's mansion, even if you keep people there, you won't be able to escape very far."

The fear on Qingfeng's face faded a little, and he calmly analyzed the pros and cons of the whole matter with her.

The king of Xichu County is ruthless, if they lose this battle, and Xichu is not controlled by Nangong Yan, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they will definitely be caught by him.

Wu Lian clenched the soft sword tightly in her hand, and with a sound of "呵--", the soft sword was withdrawn by her waist.

Obviously, she listened to Qingfeng's words, but she was caught in a dilemma.

"Nangong Yan, I can deal with it, but you can handle the military rations. If something goes wrong, the county king will only charge this account to you." The granary was on fire because he was ineffective in guarding it, and it was none of her business thing.

After speaking, her figure disappeared from the main hall.

Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up, went back to his study and wrote a letter, handed it to the guards around him, and asked him to take it back to Xichu overnight.The guard bowed to him and backed out.

As soon as he went out, Xue Yu followed him.

After following him out of the western boundary, Xue Yu stepped forward with a sword in his hand, pierced his throat and killed the man, found the letter on his body, and took it back to the barracks.

"Your Majesty, this was found on the person sent by Qingfeng." He handed the letter to Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan took it in his hand and opened it. Qingfeng mentioned the military rations on it, but most of the letters were complaints against Wu Lian. Rescuing Concubine Yi who was trapped in the Prince's Mansion, and taking her to escape from Xichu, his devotion to duty at the moment was nothing but smoke bombs. He hoped that after this battle was over, the Prince of Westchu would severely punish her.

After reading the letter, Nangong Yan had a sinister smile on his lips. He was still in a dilemma just now, but now his eyes brightened, "Go and do one more thing, ask Wu Lian to come here." He sent the letter Keep it.

"Yes!"

Xue Yu backed out.

After the night darkened, Wu Lian came to his tent as promised. Xue Yu led people to guard outside the tent, for fear that Wu Lian would do something unfavorable to Nangong Yan.

"Although I have a grudge against Qingfeng, I will not help you." Although she came, her tone was still not very good.

"Look at this first, and it won't be too late to give me an answer." Nangong Yan raised her eyes, moved the letter on the table forward, and moved it in front of her.

Wu Lian glanced down, saw the letter opened, and Qingfeng's handwriting came into her eyes.

"This is what my people intercepted from the guards around Qingfeng today. If this letter is handed over to King Xichu, do you think you will still have a way out?"

After she finished reading, Nangong Yan asked her slowly.

"Scumbag!" Wu Lian tapped the table heavily with her hands, and then remembered that what Qingfeng said in the main hall were all his delays. After she helped him win this battle, the credit If he takes it, her life will be handed over to King Xichu.

"What you are worried about is Concubine Yi who is trapped in the Prince's Mansion. If you help me, I can help you rescue Concubine Yi and protect your safety in Yanjing."

With Wu Lian's help, he can finish this battle very quickly, and then rush back to Yanjing to help Shen Feihong and Gu Xia.

"Yi'er harmed your biological mother, you let us two?" She knew all the things that Concubine Yi did in Yanjing City, and she taught her to plant the witchcraft in Shen Xuanyu's body.

"The person who killed my mother and concubine was someone else, not her." This was what Concubine Yi told him personally. He didn't believe it when he heard it at the time, but after going back and thinking about it carefully, he felt that she didn't need to lie he.She had already cast witchcraft on Shen Xuanyu, she only wanted to torture her, and she would not let her die so easily.

But who killed his mother and concubine, he is still investigating.

"Besides trusting me, you have no other way to live." Nangong Yan's tone was not in a hurry, he was negotiating terms with her, but she didn't accept it, and it didn't do him much harm. Play Tai Chi with Qingfeng for a few days, and then you can still capture the city.

It's just that the time to rush back to Nanzhao may not be so generous.

"What do you want me to do?" After thinking for a moment, Wu Lian let go.She really has no other way to live, otherwise she wouldn't choose the nonsense that Xin Qingfeng said.

Nangong Yan leaned forward slightly, met her eyes, "Kill Qingfeng directly! Then rush back to the Prince's Mansion of Xichu County overnight to rescue Concubine Yi. I will send someone to meet you at the border of Western Chu, and return to Yan with me at that time." Beijing!"

At this moment, the king of Xichu County is still in Yanjing, if she rushes back to the county palace to rescue Concubine Yi, there is still time for everything.

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Now that she had agreed to her, Concubine Yi would not be suspicious anymore, she turned around directly and left the camp.

Xue Yu followed, and only took two steps to catch up before her figure disappeared at an extremely fast speed.He hurried back to Nangong Yan's tent again, "Your Majesty!" He wanted to see if anything happened to him.

"Assemble all the soldiers in the barracks and attack the city after an hour!" Nangong Yan raised his head and ordered to him.

Xue Yu was stunned, it was too sudden, but since he followed Nangong Yan to the western boundary, all the decisions he made were beyond his comprehension, and he could only accept them immediately.

Outside the camp, there was a sound of horns. All the soldiers in the camp got up from their beds and lined up neatly in the field, with Xue Yu standing at the front.Looking back at Nangong Yan's tent, he waited for him to come out and lead the troops.

After Wu Lian returned from the Yanjing barracks, she went directly to Qingfeng's resting room.

At that time, he had just finished dealing with the matters in the military camp, and the most important thing right now was the military rations in the army.When he blew out the candlelight and walked towards the bed, suddenly, his back felt cold, he immediately turned around, and saw Wu Lian standing straight in front of him.

"Why are you here? I've already sent someone to deliver a letter to the county prince about the military rations." He said calmly, the light was too dim, and he didn't see the strangeness in her eyes.

"I know, you still sued me above, and when I help you win this battle, you let the county king kill me, so that there is no threat to you."

Wu Lian approached him step by step.

For a moment, Qingfeng's face darkened, and suddenly, he spun around.Pulling out the sword on the sword stand, and unsheathing the long sword, he was the first to strike.

Wu Lian bent down, dodging the sword he was slashing, the soft sword on his waist flew out instantly, wrapped around his neck, blood flowed from his neck, the sword in his hand hadn't touched Wu Lian's The clothes fell to the ground.

He opened his mouth, his eyes widened, but he didn't say anything, his death was as miserable as that of Luzhu.

With a move of Wu Lian's hand, all the soft swords wrapped around his neck were wrapped around her waist.She turned and walked out of his house.

When the guards who heard the movement rushed over, they only saw Qingfeng lying on the ground, and Wu Lian's figure was gone.

She rode her horse and rushed back to the county palace.

An hour later, Nangong Yan came out of the tent, wearing a silver armor, shining brightly under the light of the torch, dazzling.

"Listen to the orders, all soldiers, tonight we will do our best to capture the city in the west!" He raised the soldier talisman in his hand and ordered, his voice full of majesty.

"Yes!"

In the barracks, there was a tidy sound.

He led the remaining [-] troops to attack the city.

The soldiers of Western Chu didn't know that Qingfeng was dead. When they were resisting desperately, a soldier rushed out of the city and shouted: "General Qingfeng is dead!"

In an instant, Xichu's army was in a mess and fled in all directions.

Nangong Yan led the troops all the way to break through and capture the city.After fighting almost all night, the sound of fighting in the city stopped.

Under the city, corpses lay all over the place. Nangong Yan stood on the city, looking at the slightly white morning light on the sky, with the blood of the soldiers of Western Chu still on his face.

"Your Majesty, there are still 2 soldiers who survived. Including the victims who signed up before and the Western Chu Army who surrendered, the total is 3."

Xue Yu reported to him the number of soldiers that had been sorted out.

"Tell them to prepare and attack Yanjing with me tonight." He smelled the smell of blood in the air.There was a hint of fatigue in the voice.

"Yes, the last general is also going to prepare." Xue Yu's face was full of joy.

But Nangong Yan called him back, "You stay here, the city in the west cannot be left alone."

"But..."

Xue Yu still wanted to refute, but seeing his cold eyes, he had no choice but to keep silent, and replied weakly, "Yes."

Wu Lian was afraid that the news would leak out, so she didn't dare to stop for a moment on the way back to Xichu.As soon as she appeared in front of Concubine Yi, she was discovered by the servant girl who served her.

She ran forward in a hurry, wanting to report the news, but was slapped back by Wu Lian, and then died.

"Yi'er!"

She rushed over, took out a pill from her bosom, and poured it into Concubine Yi's mouth.

"Master..."

Concubine Yi had been controlled by drugs for several days, and her strength did not recover so quickly.

Fortunately, Wu Lian placed her maidservant in the palace of the prince, two maidservants stepped forward, helped Concubine Yi up, and everyone rushed out of the palace of the prince.

The sound of movement attracted the guards in the mansion, and immediately some guards rushed in front of them and surrounded them. Wu Lian looked at the guards in front of her, raised her cold eyebrows, and rushed forward with the soft sword at her waist Her two guards were immediately beheaded to the ground by her soft sword.

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the county palace. The maidservants protected the two of them and beat them outside the county palace. After sending Wu Lian and Yi concubine to the carriage, they said to her: "Master Lin, hurry up, we are here After the break!"

"But you!"

Wu Lian clenched the soft sword tightly in her hand. When they rushed out just now, many sisters in the faction had already died. She couldn't bear it and wanted to stay and help, but Concubine Yi held her wrist tightly and watched constantly. The guards came out.Had to give up.

He picked up the long whip in his hand and beat the fierce horse of the carriage, and the carriage drove away. Behind him, the screams of the maidservants came.

The corners of her eyes were filled with tears.They have followed her for many years, and for so many years, they have almost been helping the king of Xichu County, but in the end they ended up like this, how could she not feel uncomfortable.

Nangong Yan didn't lie to her. On the second day after they arrived at the border of Western Chu, Nangong Yan also came with an army of [-].

Concubine Yi grabbed her sleeve, "Master, you and Nangong Yan?..."

"I've already talked with him. I'll help him deal with your father. He will protect the safety of both of us. When the time comes, you and I won't have to go back to Xichu."

Wu Lian turned her head and explained to her in detail.

"Are we going to stay in Yanjing?" Concubine Yi frowned, a look of worry flashed across her eyes.

"Yi'er, we have no choice now."

She closed her eyes and thought for a while, Wu Lian was indeed right.She really had no choice but to go back to Yanjing City with Nangong Yan.I just feel that fate tricks people.

The king of Xichu County always thought that Nangong Yan was still dealing with Qingfeng in the western border, but he did not expect that he would return to Yanjing City so soon. The reinforcements sent to him by Emperor Xichu had just arrived, and it was reported that Nangong Yan was leading troops from the western border. Hurry back news.

"Qingfeng?!"

He grabbed the soldier in front of him and asked angrily.

"General Qingfeng is dead, and the city to the west has been taken back by Yanjing soldiers..." the soldier muttered, not daring to look at him.

His long and narrow eyes darkened, and he felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined. With Wu Lian's good skills, if he cooperated with Qingfeng well, he could completely deal with Nangong Yan.

"Jun Wang, they are attacking!"

Just as he was thinking about it, another soldier ran in to report.

"Stop their way, don't let them join the Yanjing Army in Yanjing City!" He grabbed the long sword on the table with one hand and ran out.

"Yes!"

The little soldier ran out first.

After Gu Xia got the news that Nangong Yan had captured the city and brought troops back to support him, he immediately opened the city gate and led the troops to attack, allowing the king of Xichu County to attack from both sides.

Nangong Yan looked at the Yanjing army charging towards them in the distance, and said to the King of Xichu, "How is it? The prince of the county has personally tasted the double attack this time?"

He raised the corners of his lips.His eyes are deep.

"Hmph! Brother Huang sent a hundred thousand troops to support me. The thirty thousand troops in your hands, plus the less than one hundred thousand troops in Gu Xia's hands, are no match for me." The king of Xichu raised his eyebrows slightly. , apparently unaffected by his taunts.

"That's right, but with the help of your subordinates, I think it will be much easier for me."

After he finished speaking, Wu Lian came out from the soldiers behind him. She was riding on a fierce horse, and she looked at King Xichu with her cold eyes.

"It really is you."

The King of Xichu County sneered. When he was in the camp just now, he thought that it might be Wu Lian. However, she has been loyal to him for so many years. People will betray him too.

Wu Lian stared at him, took off the gauze on her face, revealed a terrible scar, and said coldly: "For so many years, I have been loyal to you, even if you ruined my appearance, I will not be dissatisfied." Cong, but you got worse and didn't show any sympathy for me, the king of the county, it's all on your own fault that you can have what you are today!"

"Do you think that you and Yi'er will be safe once we get to him? Think about what Yi'er did to his biological mother?" The Duke of Xichu looked at her calmly, still looking at her coldly.

Even if he loses this battle, it's not because he lost to Wu Lian!

"Even if I risk my life, I won't do anything for you again!" After she finished speaking, she slashed her face with the dagger, drawing another bloodstain!

"This knife is a repayment of your love for raising Yi'er! From now on, I will not owe you anything!"

She threw the dagger in her hand and wrapped the gauze to cover the wound on her face.

The heart of Duke Xichu was stabbed by something, he frowned tightly, and his eyes returned to the coldness of the past.

When the sword was raised, the soldiers on both sides rushed forward.

A Jian ran in from the outside, grabbed Yu Qiqi's wrist and said, "Princess, the emperor has returned with an army of thirty thousand to support Commander Gu!"

"He is back?"

Yu Qiqi stood up from the reclining chair happily, grabbed her hand and asked.

"Well! It's absolutely true, and at this moment, we have started fighting with the King of Xichu outside the city!" A Jian nodded like a pounding garlic, with a smile on his face.

Yu Qiqi's face was also full of joy, she thought that Nangong Yan would not be able to return after three months in the western border, but she did not expect that he would regain the western city so soon.

She caressed her protruding belly, and wanted to go to the city gate outside the palace to wait for him to come back, but was stopped by Chu Peiyu, "Your Majesty, you are pregnant with Liujia now, so you can't easily go to a high place."

"I'll walk over there." Yu Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, understood the worry in his words, and hurriedly explained to him.

"The gate of the palace city is also very dangerous. If people from Xichu sneak into the city, even if there are subordinates and Miss A Jian, it will be difficult to protect your safety."

Chu Peiyu still refused to give in.

"Princess, why don't you listen to General Chu?" A Jianhe hesitated for a while, feeling that what Chu Peiyu said made sense. She was going to give birth in less than two months. If something happened at this time, they No one can afford it.

"Well, I'll wait here for him to come back."

She had no choice but to stop and did not continue to go out.

Yan Shiqing, who was about to enter Fengluan Palace, stopped when he heard the conversation between the three masters and servants, and went out of the city gate.

With the help of Wu Lian, the king of Xichu County was forced to retreat steadily. His soldiers obeyed his previous order and prevented Nangong Yan and Gu Xia from reuniting. It couldn't be as he expected before. After the two sides fought for half a day, the king of Xichu County fell into anxiety.

Yan Shiqing walked to the city gate, and Ning Shenyuan was also on it. When he saw him coming, his eyes froze, and he put down the bow and arrow aimed at the King of West Chu.

"Don't take my feelings into consideration." Yan Shiqing smiled at him, the dim yellow sunlight fell on half of his face, Ning Shenyuan couldn't see the bitterness in his smile.

He narrowed his eyes, but still didn't raise his hand.Just quietly watching the scene of fighting under the city gate.

The soft sword in Wu Lian's hand has been chasing the king of Xichu County, even without Nangong Yan's pursuit, he was forced to have nowhere to retreat.

"Lian'er, this soft sword technique in your hand was taught to you by this king, are you going to use it to kill me now?" The king of Xichu County stopped dodging and faced her pursuit.

At the beginning, he was wielding a long whip, Wu Lian saw that he could wield it well, so she wanted him to teach her, he joked with her, this set of whip can only be learned by members of the Western Chu royal family, outsiders cannot study.

She then threw him a soft sword, and twisted with him, "This is a long sword, not a whip, so you can teach me, right?"

The king of Xichu was amused by her cleverness, so he nodded in agreement.She is very talented, and after less than three months of studying with him, she can wield the soft sword superbly.For so many years, this soft sword has killed countless people in her hands, and has never been defeated.

"I was forced by you, and I have already paid off what I owe you!" She has helped him for so many years, and the set of swordsmanship he taught her at the beginning has already been canceled out.

"If you are willing to turn around, I will let you and Yi'er go." He panted slightly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"late!"

With a wave of the soft sword in Wu Lian's hand, it entangled with his long sword. The King of Xichu County pulled her forward and pulled her off the horse. He rode the horse and ran into the chaotic battle. Lian fell to the ground, her body kept sliding on the dust, and her back felt hot.

The King of Xichu gritted his teeth and had no intention of stopping at all. He wanted to put her to death!The man who had just softly said that he would let him go, now turned into a murderous demon without blinking an eye.

Scenes of killing kept flashing before her eyes, and the flying dust made her unable to open her eyes. Her body and face were covered with scars, and the veil covering her face had long since fallen off. She was cheated by him for so many years!

Suddenly, a fierce horse rushed out in front of him. Concubine Yi sat on the strong horse and stabbed at the king of Xichu County with a sword. He didn't expect that Concubine Yi would rush out suddenly, and hurriedly pulled the rein. The fierce horse under him was frightened. The front hoof was lifted forward, and the others fell backward and fell under the horse.

Wu Lian regained her expression, pulled back the soft sword that was entangled by him, and wrapped it around his waist. In an instant, blood was seen directly on his waist.

He stared at the soft sword wrapped around his waist in astonishment, then turned to look at her, "Lian'er, are you really capable?"

"Why not?!"

This voice came from Concubine Yi, the sword in her hand.It pierced hard into his heart!

"Yi'er..."

A trace of astonishment still flashed across Wu Lian's eyes.

The king of Xichu County did not expect that he would die in the hands of their mother and daughter in the end.

"Master, he has harmed you for so many years, you must not be soft-hearted at this moment!" Concubine Yi gritted her teeth and said, but the hand holding the sword still trembled.

"But he is your father..." Wu Lian swallowed the dryness in her throat.

"She, too, is your mother..." After saying these words, King Xichu fell down, and the dust on the ground flew onto his face, making him look very miserable.

Concubine Yi looked at Wu Lian in astonishment, and let go of the sword in her hand. She didn't expect that it was her biological mother who taught her kung fu and protected her for many years.

This is the most tender sentence that the king of Xichu County has ever said to her in his life.

"You, you are my mother?..." Concubine Yi got off the horse, supported her body, and covered the scar on her face with her clothes.

She nodded slightly.

Nangong Yan killed the enemy in the back, and didn't have time to watch their mother and daughter stage a bitter scene. He waved the blood-stained long sword and shouted: "The soldiers of Western Chu obey the order. Your commander is dead. If you return now, there is still time." , if you don’t want to surrender, no one can return to Xichu alive!”

Hearing his roar, the Xichu soldiers who were still fighting stopped for a moment and stared at him blankly.Nangong Yan's face was cold and his eyes were majestic. They put down their weapons one after another, squatted on the ground and surrendered.

Gu Xia led the army, rushed towards him, and ordered to the soldiers behind him, "Arrest all the Western Chu troops who have surrendered!"

The battle outside Yanjing City lasted for a whole day, and finally came to a halt.

Yan Shiqing, who was standing on the city gate, saw all the scene that happened just now, he ran outside the city gate, towards Concubine Yi and Wu Lian.

Seeing the hands supporting Wu Lian with her, Concubine Yi turned her head and saw Yan Shiqing, "Qing'er? Aren't you in Nanzhao?"

She always thought that he was staying well in Nanzhao.

"I have been back to Yanjing City for a while, mother, I am relieved to see that you are fine." He raised the corner of his lips towards her, and his eyes did not fall on the King Xichu who was lying on the ground.

Seeing Yan Shiqing, Nangong Yan's eyes also changed, he thought that he returned to Yanjing because of Yu Qiqi, what is this?Came back to protect her while he was away?

"Gu Xia, clean up the surrendered soldiers of Western Chu and the corpses outside the city gate." After he finished these words coldly, he rode his horse past the three of them.

Concubine Yi raised her head and glanced at Nangong Yan, then she retracted her eyes. He said that if he didn't embarrass them, he would not embarrass them.

Yan Shiqing and Concubine Yi supported Wu Lian and walked towards the city gate, when they were outside the palace, Chu Peiyu stepped forward and said to Yan Shiqing: "My son, the emperor said that the three of you can continue to live in Yunshui Pavilion. "This is what Nangong Yan told Chu Peiyu just before entering the palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Shiqing bowed to him, and helped Wu Lian to Yunshui Pavilion.

He found the imperial doctor who had treated Shen Feihong's injuries before, and healed Wu Lian.

"Mother, when grandma's injury recovers, I'll take you back to Nanzhao." Walking outside, Yan Shiqing said to her.

"Um."

Concubine Yi nodded her head slightly, she also felt that it was not an option to stay in this palace all the time.Besides, she committed too many crimes here.

However, as soon as the two of them sat down to drink a cup of hot tea, an attendant stepped forward and said to Concubine Yi: "Mistress Yi, the emperor welcomes you."

Her hand holding the cup trembled, Yan Shiqing immediately stood up from the bench and said, "I'll go with her!"

"My son, the emperor said that only the concubine Yi will be passed on." The attendant bowed to him and said in embarrassment.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, since he has already promised not to hurt us, he won't do anything beyond the mark."

Concubine Yi pulled him back to the bench, stood up alone, and walked down Yunshui Pavilion with that attendant.

Nangong Yan was in the imperial study room, she had already taken off her silver armor, and put on a mother-yellow dragon robe, still full of majesty, which was intimidating.

Concubine Yi walked towards him, leaned slightly, but didn't make a sound.

"Zhen's mother and concubine, who killed it?" He said that he wanted to rescue her from the county prince's mansion because he wanted to ask this, and no one knew the truth except her.

Concubine Yi twisted her hands back and forth awkwardly, and after a long time, she slowly said, "Yes, it's your father..."

"Full of nonsense!" Nangong Yan knocked hard on the table with sullen expression on his face.

"What I said is true, it is really your father." Concubine Yi raised her head and looked directly into his angry eyes.

Nangong Yan stared at her fiercely, with a cold expression, "reason."

"Back then, your mother and concubine relied on her natal family's power to win over the ministers in the court and vowed to help you to the position of crown prince, which aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction. The two of them quarreled many times because of this. You don't know it. Later, when I gave birth to Qing'er, a fire broke out when I sent him out of the palace. At that time, I thought it was your concubine who set it on fire, so I blamed this crime on your concubine, saying that she was jealous of my birth. Get off the dragon son.

The emperor was already dissatisfied with her, and after hearing what I said, he became even more furious. I told the emperor, I can plant a poison on your mother and concubine, and let this poison stay in her body for a long time to torture her.After the emperor heard this, instead of scolding me, he even asked me to poison her quickly.

A few years have passed like this. Although your mother and concubine are sometimes in a trance and prone to hallucinations, she has not yet reached the stage of death.But one day later, the emperor suffered a disadvantage under the influence of your mother and concubine in the court. He came to me and asked me how long it would take for the witchcraft in your mother and concubine's body to kill her.

I told him, as long as you lead your concubine mother to a place with water, and she falls into the water when she has hallucinations, she can be killed without anyone noticing.A few days after that, the emperor didn't go to my Liangxi Palace again. I heard from the palace people that he went to your mother and concubine.

One day, just as he came out of your mother's concubine's bedroom, the sound of your mother's concubine falling into the water was heard inside, and by the time the palace people jumped down to rescue her, it was already too late..."

Concubine Yi carefully recalled the events at that time, the dim candlelight flickered in her eyes.

Nangong Yan, who was still full of anger just now, leaned on the back of the dragon chair slumped at this moment.Concubine Yi said the name of the person he was most afraid of hearing. In this huge palace, apart from Concubine Yi, the only one who could hate his mother and concubine was Emperor Yan Jing.

However, he didn't believe that Emperor Yan Jing did this, so he wanted to hear the answer from Concubine Yi himself.

He smiled wryly and couldn't say any more words.

Concubine Yi stood below for a long time before leaving his imperial study lightly.

Yan Shiqing had been waiting outside, and was relieved to see that she came out safe and sound, and helped her walk to Yunshui Pavilion.

Yu Qiqi had been waiting in Fengluan Palace, the sky had already darkened, but Nangong Yan was nowhere to be seen, she asked Chu Peiyu anxiously, "Has the Emperor really returned to the palace?"

Before Nangong Yan let Chu Peiyu leave Yu Qiqi's side, he kept guarding her.

"I went back to the palace at sunset, maybe I was busy with court affairs in the imperial study." Chu Peiyu bowed to her and replied softly.

Yu Qiqi frowned, feeling uneasy for some reason.

"That's right, the emperor hasn't stayed in the palace for so long, and the memorials in the imperial study may have piled up into a mountain. Princess, please wait a little longer. If you can't wait, take a rest first. The emperor will be here tomorrow." Ah Jian looked at the brightly lit area outside, but there was no figure of Nangong Yan, so he hurriedly comforted her.

"No, I want to see him today."

Yu Qiqi didn't give up, didn't he miss her?She bit her lip, walked back to the bedroom, and sat back on the brocade stool with difficulty.

Twirling the silk handkerchief in her fingers, she watched as the wax in front of her burned out little by little, and Ah Jian added wax again and again.

Outside, it was still silent.

At midnight, she finally couldn't help yawning one after another. The eyelids closed and then opened, closed and opened again.

"Princess, do you want to rest first?"

Ah Jian frowned, looking at her distressedly.

Hearing the voice, Yu Qiqi, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, asked, "The emperor is here?" She thought it was Nangong Yan who came, and looked around, only A Jian was alone.

"The emperor didn't come over, the servant said to let you rest first." She repeated.

"You help me up, I'll go to the imperial study to find him."

Yu Qiqi stretched out her hand and asked her to help her up.A Jian sighed, had no choice but to support her, and walked towards the imperial study in the dark.
