Fingers of crossing

Qi Yue stood between the two of them, she first looked at Jiang Heng questioningly, and then she cast her suspicious eyes on Yan Lingge.

"Returning to Princess Qiyue, General Qin Song outside the city has an important secret letter and asked his subordinates to deliver it to His Majesty in person." Jiang Heng's voice paused, his eyes glanced at Yan Lingge meaningfully, and he cupped his hands and said, "This matter is extremely serious. It's urgent, don't be negligent, but Concubine Jing stopped her subordinates outside the door on the grounds that His Majesty was going to bed, and the subordinates were in a hurry, so they unintentionally bumped into Concubine Jing."

When Jiang Heng said this, Qi Yue felt a little puzzled.

Yan Lingge has always been gentle with others, and his temperament is as soft as water. In the four years since she married Yang Guo, she has hardly seen anyone who Yan Lingge was angry with.After all, Jiang Heng is just a servant, even if he really offends, with Yan Lingge's temper, he will never stop him so forcefully.Besides, Jiang Heng's words are clear enough, the matter is serious, Yan Lingge will not fail to understand the consequences of delaying time.

"Emperor's sister-in-law is impatient, but she is afraid that you will disturb the emperor's rest." Qi Yue stepped forward and said softly: "In that case, you can hand this letter to me, and I will send it to the emperor myself."

After Qi Yue finished speaking, she smiled charmingly. She stretched out her hand, signaling Jiang Heng to give her the secret letter.

"This..." If you say that he can calmly deal with Yan Lingge, but Jiang Heng has nothing to do with the youngest Princess Qi Yue in the Yang Kingdom.

While Jiang Heng was hesitating, he saw Qi Yue directly reaching out to take the secret letter from his arms, pinching his hand and tapping his head lightly, pretending to be angry, she was extraordinarily coquettish and charming, "Bold slave, even Do you dare not listen to me?"

"I don't dare, it's just..." Jiang Heng waved his hands again and again to explain, and hurriedly said, "It's just that the situation is urgent, so Princess Qi Yue must be sure to show it to His Majesty immediately."

Although she didn't know what would be written in the envelope, Qi Yue inevitably became cautious after hearing Jiang Heng's solemn expression.She squeezed the letter in her hand tightly, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely not delay."

With Qi Yue's guarantee, Jiang Heng couldn't help but feel relieved, but when he saw Yan Lingge who was silent at the side, his expression couldn't help but become heavy.Looking back at Qi Yue, she saw that she was smiling at her, and she didn't know whether she understood how important this letter was and how much influence it had on Yang Guo.

Sending Jiang Heng away, Qi Yue looked at the letterhead in her hand, then she turned her head to look at Yan Lingge, and said strangely: "Jiang Heng looks like something urgent, why did the sister-in-law stop Jiang Heng? "

When Yan Lingge heard this, she pursed her lips slightly, and a slight worry appeared on her always kind face. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Yue's arm, and said in a low voice, "Qi Yue, the emperor's sister-in-law has something to do." Please."

It is rare for Yan Lingge to speak to her in such a serious tone, and there is a faint pleading in the heaviness, Qi Yue was silent for a moment, her eyes fell on the letter paper, and she said clearly: "What the emperor's wife wants to say But it has something to do with the secret letter in my hand?"

"Yes." Yan Lingge nodded, but his usually pleasant face was now full of indelible gloom. "When you entered Beijing, you also knew that Qin Song had ordered five thousand elite soldiers to garrison outside the city gate under the order of your emperor brother. Today he suddenly asked Jiang Heng to send a secret letter. There must be something strange about this matter."

Faintly feeling that the meaning in Yan Lingge's words might not be something she could bear, Qi Yue shook her head blankly, and said, "I don't understand what Huang's sister-in-law means."

Qi Yue's still immature face stung Yan Lingge's eyes for a moment. With pity in her eyes, she let go of Qi Yue's hand, walked forward a few steps, looked at the dark cloud-covered sky above her head, her eyes were clouded A shade. "I guess, there must be something wrong outside the city gate. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that the emperor has already taken action."

"What?!" Qi Yue's mind was buzzing, she couldn't help but exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth, looked around for a moment, and said anxiously: "You mean, the eldest princess is outside the city gate...?" Said Then, Qi Yue subconsciously shook her head again, "No, it's impossible, now the emperor is watching every move of the eldest princess, how did she do it?"

Yan Lingge sighed slightly, half happy and half worried, "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that no matter what happens outside the city gate, it must be related to Miss Huang."

Qi Yue tightly squeezed the letter in her hand, looked up at Yan Lingge complicatedly, and asked, "If that's the case, what does Sister-in-law Huang want from me?"

Yan Lingge's expression was serious, he hesitated a few times, and finally reached out to hold Qi Yue's arm, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, I beg you, please wait a little later... give this letter to your imperial brother a little later."

"Sister-in-law, do you know what you're talking about?" Qi Yue was startled, she shook off Yan Lingge's hand and said, "The situation is urgent now, how can I waste time? You are my concubine of Dayang, If your words are heard by outsiders, the crime of interfering in government affairs alone will be enough to sentence you to death!"

"I know." Yan Lingge clenched Qi Yue's arm again, forcing her to look at herself in pain. She choked up every word and said, "According to the current situation, the battle between Yang and Yan may be sooner or later." The thing is, although I am the concubine of the Yang Kingdom, I am still the princess of the Yan Kingdom. No matter who wins in the end, I will not be happy. Qi Yue, if the Yan Kingdom loses this time, don’t you have the heart to watch? Did the crown prince die under the sword of your brother? You have to understand that sometimes, if you want to get the best of both worlds, you have to sacrifice something."

These words were too serious, such terrible consequences forced Qi Yue to take two steps back, her complexion turned pale.

One day, I will personally crush every inch of Yang Kingdom.

Today, all kinds of insults and abuses that your imperial brother brought to Yan Guo and Huangjie, in the future, I will definitely pay back twice as much!

Thinking of what Yan Junyao said when Jiang Ning was drunk that day, every sentence was like a bloody sharp knife, piercing Qi Yue's heart hard, the pain made her almost unable to breathe.She looked down at the crumpled secret letter in her hand, and then looked up at Yan Lingge, who looked at him with pleading eyes, unable to advance or retreat.

But...but...

"Sister-in-law Huang is right, and Qi Yue understands." Reaching out and wiping a teardrop that slipped out of the corner of her eye with her sleeve, Qi Yue smiled bitterly, but her eyes were firm. The five thousand elite soldiers are my people, they fought for me on the battlefield, they are my heroes, maybe they are in danger outside the city gate, aren't they afraid of death, don't they die? Is it worth it? But for the sake of the emperor and Dayang, they have never backed down. Now you let me ignore their life and death, and let me sacrifice them in exchange for peace between Yang and Yan. I will do such a thing not!"

Qi Yue said, she didn't want to look at Yan Lingge anymore, and ran into the main hall in a stumbling manner.Only Yan Lingge was left alone, with a sad expression, standing alone on the empty corridor, and there was a thunderous thunder in the sky, reflecting her face was gray.

In the huge side hall, Qi Yue's footsteps were hurried, leaving echoes in the hall.She walked faster and faster, and at the end, she almost ran, panting and sobbing faintly, and the listeners couldn't bear it.

Stretching out his hand to brush aside the gauze curtain that separated the inner hall, Qi Yue fell down in front of Yang Xuanlin's bed. The sound disturbed the sleeping Yang Xuanlin. He opened his eyes and saw Qi Yue crying uncontrollably with her head down. He was holding a letter tightly in his hand, and when he saw him wake up, he handed it to him tremblingly.

"Brother Huang, something is wrong..."

He wanted to ask Qi Yue, but unexpectedly, Qi Yue opened his mouth first. He frowned and unfolded the letter Qi Yue handed him. The cold water woke him up instantly.

"Tell Jiang Heng."

Lifting the quilt from the bed, Yang Xuanlin picked up the coat on the screen and put it on, and hurriedly told the guards on the side, after he finished speaking, his expression was gloomy and as cold as iron. "Where is the eldest princess?"

The sky was still clear in the morning, but now there are lightning and thunder, and heavy rain is coming.A blast of thunder came next to her ear, and Bi Yuan walked up from outside the city gate, and saw Yan Yilan's whole body was turned white by the lightning, and her expressionless face looked more and more indifferent.

"Your Highness, the King of Beiyang hastily ordered Jiang Heng to enter his bedroom. I don't know what he is discussing. It has been more than half an hour."

Yan Yilan smiled coldly, and her indifferent face became extraordinarily enchanting because of this smile, "It seems that King Wu has finally made a move."

Bi Yuan couldn't laugh, she said worriedly: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, we don't know anything, we are always too passive."

"It's a blessing or a curse. I'll see the real chapter soon." Yan Yilan said, walked to the side of the tower, looked down at Dayan's country, pondered for a moment and said: "Give the tiger talisman to the crown prince secretly, and tell him, No matter what happened to me, let him ignore it. As long as he thinks it is time to use the tiger talisman, not to mention the troops inside and outside the palace, even if he wants to recall the generals far away in the frontier, he will do anything."

Bi Yuan was surprised, she suddenly raised her head to look at Yan Yilan, and realized that she was impolite, quickly lowered her head again, frowned and replied: "Yes."

After sending Bi Yuan away, Yan Yilan turned her head to look at the group of maidservants serving behind her, waved her hands with a sleepy expression, and said, "You all step back, too."

Screening everyone away, Yan Yilan stood alone on the tower, looking a little lonely and depressed from a distance.She overlooked the scenery outside the imperial palace, where no one else could reach, her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were full of vicissitudes.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, Yan Yilan vaguely heard someone walking slowly from the bottom of the city tower beside her, the sound came from far to near, the footsteps were so clear and heavy, as if pressing on the heartstrings, all nerves were twitching Unconsciously tense up.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came to her side that Yan Yilan looked sideways, and what she saw was Yang Xuanlin with a sullen and solemn face, those black obsidian eyes locked her tightly, There is no longer any love in it, and it is full of murderous intent that is cold to the bone.

"Fengyi, you deserve to die."

Yang Xuanlin's words were so heavy and so painful, like the hottest wine in the world, and like three feet of cold.Accompanied by the words, his sudden cold sword, shining brightly like lightning from the sky, struck Yan Yilan's neck.
