Qing Yan

Jing Yan felt isolated from the world.

The territory of the Great Zhou, bordering the sea in the east, bordering Hui in the west, the desert in the north, and the barbarians in the south, was so vast; the forbidden palace of the Great Zhou was so vast, with so many palaces and pavilions, none of which had anything to do with her at the moment.

For several days, she was trapped in the small world of Kuntai Palace, as if she had been forgotten by the whole world.

So, how many days has it been?How many days have passed since that person left?

Jing Yan couldn't remember clearly, she was living in a muddle.Eat in a daze, sleep in a daze, wake up in a daze, be in a daze...

Objectively, it was the Empress Dowager who restrained her feet, but subjectively, why wasn't she herself unwilling to leave even half a step?

Leaving this small world, where to go?

Should I go to Chongyang Palace to see if she is still staying up all night approving memorials?Or go to her bedroom to see if her wound has healed?

Wanting to see her is naturally very longing; not wanting to see her is also contradictory.

Worry-free, what is she doing now?

This thought popped up in Jing Yan's mind every second, like a compulsion.

This made her very tormented, but she took pleasure in this torment.Only in this way can she relieve some of the panic and guilt in her heart.

Jing Yan let himself be so dazed.

Perhaps, if this continues, her body and her soul will become stiff, so stiff that she will no longer have to think about anything or anyone.

Until, the voice of Bingbi broke her depression——

"Master, Shen Quan is here."

Jing Yan was startled, and almost blurted out: "Just him?"

Everyone knows that Shen Quan is the emperor's personal servant.Where the emperor is, Shen Quan will be by his side.So, on the contrary, Shen Quan is here, does it mean...

Jing Yan could already hear his heart beating a little faster.

However, Bingbi's reply disappointed her: "He's the only one."

After saying this, Bingbi also lowered his voice.In the past few days, the Empress Dowager has become very thin and has never left this inner room, and she is always in a daze, as if her spirit has wandered nine days away.Bingbi has followed the Queen Mother for many years, how could he not personally understand her state of mind at this moment?

Jing Yan's breath stagnated obviously, lowered his eyes, and then thought: Shen Quan came here, was it sent by the emperor?

A little bit of anticipation suddenly appeared in her heart, and she hurriedly said, "Xuan."

"But the emperor ordered you to come?" Jing Yan looked at Shen Quan who knelt on the ground and ordered him to get up without ceremony, but was still the same, secretly surprised.

"Yes." Shen Quan replied, his heart was inevitably sour, and he couldn't help but choked up.

Jing Yan became more suspicious, and said, "Get up and answer."

Shen Quan remained motionless, and said with red eyes, "Your Majesty... this servant was sent by His Majesty... to serve the Empress Dowager."

"Serve Aijia?" What does this mean?

Without waiting for Jing Yan to ask again, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound from a cannon.

Jing Yan suddenly stood up until he heard nine cannon shots, Jing Yan was like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

Bing Bi and Shi Mo were also stunned and speechless.

It is a rule in the army that when the commander sends out troops, he must sound the horn to strengthen the army.However, according to the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the emperor himself is the commander in chief, it is necessary to fire the trumpet nine times in a row.Because nine is the number of the most yang, the sound of nine cannons represents the majesty of the emperor, and the point of the sword is invincible and invincible.

There were nine cannon shots at the Jiaojun Field, which had not been heard for many years.The last time I heard it was ten years ago, when the first emperor personally conquered it.

This means...

Bing Bi and Shi Mo turned to Jing Yan subconsciously, out of doubt, but more out of worry.

"She... unexpectedly..." Jing Yan's complexion was as pale as paper, which made her frail body look even thinner.

Worry-free just...gone?

She went...to conscript herself?

That's why she took Zhe's sword away; that's why she said those words to herself?

Jing Yan's mind went blank immediately, and his heart ached like a twist.She didn't care about anything, and rushed out stumbled.

Shen Quan, who was kneeling on the ground and feeling sad, naturally also heard the sound of the nine trumpets, knowing that it meant that His Majesty was going to war, he felt even more sad.

His eyes blurred, and the queen mother who was only wearing single clothes and shoes flashed by.Shen Quan was the youngest and the quickest to react, jumped up in a hurry, and hurriedly followed out.

Bing Bi and Shi Mo were shocked by the scene in front of them. When they saw Shen Quan jumping up, they realized that the Queen Mother had just rushed out, and followed them in a panic.

The spring was cold, and it was warm and cold, just stepped out of the door of Kuntai Palace, a gust of wind pierced through the bones, and went straight into Jing Yan's bones.

She is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she deserves to be graceful and elegant, she should be respectful when advancing and retreating, and her every move should be regarded as a model by women all over the world.However, what good is that?Can she get back her worry-free self-conquest?Can she get back her worry-free life without putting herself in danger?

Dangerous, dangerous, could it be... death?

Jing Yan didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't.A lesson from the past, isn't her philosophy just...

In the cold wind, Jing Yan ran wildly. She never knew that she had such physical strength, let alone that she, who had always been dignified and respectful, would "lose her dignity" in this way.

More than once, she blamed Yu Wenrui for "losing her dignity", but now she knows that the so-called "keeping her dignity" is just because she has not yet reached the point of insanity.

When his foot slipped, Jing Yan didn't pay attention, and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

She struggled to get up and looked around, the palaces and pavilions were towering or ingenious, beautiful and eye-catching.However, so what?Empty, white, between heaven and earth, looking around desolately, it is actually so lonely.

Can't let worry-free go there...

This kind of thought made Jing Yan step forward again with his cold and numb feet——

At least, Wuyou should make it clear to her that she can't let her go away like this.

Shen Quan was the fastest runner, and when Jing Yan fell, he had already caught up, rushed to Jing Yan, and blocked Jing Yan's way.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother, you can't..." He looked at Jing Yan's single clothes and felt sad.

"It was she... who asked you to stabilize Ai's family?" Jing Yan's eyes shot out hatred and pain, his lips were bitten, and a thin thread of blood hung on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Quan bowed down in front of her and mourned: "Your Majesty said that when she is not in the capital, you must serve the Empress Dowager with all your might..."

Jing Yan wanted to leave.

Shen Quan hurriedly took a few steps on his knees and stood in front of Jing Yan: "Queen Mother! Your Majesty said that you are the person she cares about the most. I'm afraid that you will be in danger... Please take care of your body and don't let Your Majesty down. What a painstaking effort!"

There was a burst of dizziness in Jing Yan's head, and he barely held on, and then boundless pain overwhelmingly surged.

At this time, Bing Bi and Shi Mo came running out of breath, and eagerly put on the fur cape for her.

Jing Yan let them move numbly, as if his soul had been taken away and he became an empty shell.

After a while, she came back to her senses.The body is numb from the cold, and the heart is even more numb from the pain.

"When did she... go to the military training ground?"

Bing Bi and Shi Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief: the queen mother has finally returned to her usual appearance.

They were also frightened by Jing Yan just now.

"Your Majesty said that it is time to dispatch troops and reward the three armies." Shen Quan replied truthfully.He knew that the reason why His Majesty told him everything in detail was for the Queen Mother to answer when she asked, so as not to worry the Queen Mother.

Jing Yan stood there dazedly, staring at the direction of Northwest and Beizheng, thinking about where Yu Wenrui was at the moment and where he was going to stay, all kinds of tastes of ups and downs rushed up.

"Get up." She said to Shen Quan.

Shen Quan stood up and stood with his hands down.

"What else did she say?"

Shen Quan reported what he knew without reservation.There are some things that he doesn't know either.

"Queen Mother, it's windy and cold, why don't you go back?" Bing Bi and Shi Mo persuaded.

Jing Yan was speechless for a long while.

He Chong is on duty today.He was leading a team of people to patrol the palace. From a distance, he saw a few people standing and kneeling, and one of them seemed to be the queen mother.

He Chong was shocked, and rushed forward to salute: "I have seen the Queen Mother!"

Jing Yan stood upright, she was no longer the woman who panicked just now, she turned back into the queen mother of Da Zhou.

"He Aiqing."

"Yes." He Chong was secretly surprised when he saw that the Empress Dowager Jing Yan was wearing single shoes and a single garment inside the cloak, but he didn't dare to look directly, and lowered his head slightly.

"Prepare the carriage, Ai's family is going out of the palace. He Aiqing, you bring someone to protect you."

All the people present were dumbfounded when they heard Jing Yan's words.The first thing that came to their minds was: the queen mother is going to chase after her majesty!

In the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the city walls were extraordinarily high, which could be described as towering and majestic.If you stand tall, you will naturally see far.

On the top of the city, a thin woman is wearing a plain skirt and a silver-white fox-fur cape.There is no Mifendai, only the jasper hairpin on the head as decoration.

The wind was blowing extremely strongly, but she was unmoved, and stood in front of the crenel of the city wall, looking at the endless mountains in the northeast.No one knew what was on her mind.

Surrounding her, apart from a servant and two maids, was He Chong who was ten steps away in ordinary attire.

The sergeants guarding the city were far away, and more than a dozen inner court guards dressed as servants formed a faint circle, blocking the sight of irrelevant people.

The officers on duty had already been instructed by He Chong.He has also been guarding the capital for a long time, Master He naturally recognizes him.It's just that in ordinary times, Mr. He, who can't be climbed so high, actually ordered his little military officer, Sesame Mung Bean, to come. It can be seen that the background of the person on the top of the city is not ordinary.

Judging by her age and style, the officer on duty vaguely guessed the woman's identity, which made him even more afraid to approach or look directly at her.

This nobleman is too "expensive"!

Jing Yan did not stop He Chong and the others from being cautious.At the moment when she almost lost her mind, she just wanted to run out of the palace and up to the top of the city, even if it was just to see Wuyou's back.Even if she couldn't see Wuyou, even if she could see a soldier, a pawn, a chariot and a horse, it would be a great comfort to her at this moment.

However, since Wuyou has led the army to conquer, even if he gallops on a flying horse, can he stop her?

Wuyou wants her to be safe, and she will be safe.

Wuyou is the emperor, Jinkou Yuyan, she wants to personally conquer, she wants to set foot in dangerous places, so I can't disturb her heart and make her worry about it.

Jing Yan lowered his eyes and looked at his right palm.There, the traces that belonged to Wuyou have long since disappeared, but there is one thing that will never disappear——

She should protect her worry-free, in any way, visible and invisible.
