Fingers of crossing

Yan Junyao had indeed heard that when the late emperor was dying, he ordered someone to draft two edicts and hand them over to Yan Yilan.One of them was published by Yan Yilan on the day of the late emperor's death. In the posthumous edict, Yan Yilan was only named as the eldest princess, and many other matters were never mentioned.

As for the rumored edict hidden by Yan Yilan, regardless of whether it existed or not, Empress Ning and Yan Yilan had no words in the next three years. Although Yan Junyao tried his best to find this edict, he found nothing. .Now, this edict that he had been looking for for three years suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Yan Junyao couldn't help hesitatingly bent his head, picked up the edict with trembling hands, and slowly unfolded his hands in front of his chest, waiting to see the words on the edict. Content, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Queen Ning again, his eyes filled with astonishment.

There is nothing on the bright yellow silk... This throne can belong to anyone.

At this time, Jiang Ningzui also turned her head and saw the edict unfolded in Yan Junyao's hand. It was empty, as if she was laughing at the descendants, and spent her whole life fighting for and fighting, but in the end nothing could be kept.

It turned out that Yan Junyao had searched for the last edict for a long time, but in fact there was nothing at all. Those who can live in it, the late emperor thought clearly.Jiang Ningzui was thinking, looking sideways at Yan Junyao's pale face, she suddenly wanted to laugh, but was held back by the seriousness in her heart, so she could only stand aside expressionlessly, waiting for these secrets to be revealed bit by bit.

Yan Junyao's reaction was all expected by Empress Ning, she smiled and said: "This is the second edict left by your father, can you see it clearly?"

Clutching the imperial edict in his hand, Yan Junyao fixed his eyes on the bright yellow silk cloth without saying a word.

Although he could see clearly, he couldn't figure it out.If the imperial edict left by the father is just a blank piece of paper, then why does the emperor bother to hide it, and has never made it public in the past three years.

Could it be...Could it be.,...? !

As if being hit by something in the chest, Yan Junyao moved his lips with difficulty, staring blankly at the blank posthumous edict, and said, "I...don't understand."

"Now you should know that the world is home to those who are able. Three years ago, when the neighboring countries invaded Yan, and the building was about to collapse. At that time, you were still young and unable to support the overall situation. At that time, what Dayan needed was a real The Mingjun who led the Yan Kingdom out of the predicament was not a prince who justifiably inherited the throne. The first emperor left a generation of emperors for your descendants to fight for, but it is also expected that the new emperor will ascend the throne in the future, and there will be a new generation in the royal family. It was a bloody storm, so, among the many heirs, the late emperor alone used a piece of will to protect your imperial sister." Empress Ning smiled suddenly, remembering something, and her voice gradually softened: "the last emperor was the last I love your imperial sister, and I value her the most. Although your imperial sister is only a girl, the late emperor once told the Ai family that she has the appearance of a phoenix, and she will become a great weapon in the future. Therefore, the Ai family guessed that when the late emperor died I specially appointed your imperial sister as the eldest princess, and I must hope that your imperial sister can stand alone in the royal family battle and assist the new emperor in the future."

The whole world seemed to be collapsing in an instant, Yan Junyao's palm trembled, Yizhao unsteadily released his palm, and fell to the ground.

Jiang Ningzui followed the prestige and looked at the edict lying on the ground. For a moment, she felt that the bright yellow silk body of the edict made her eyes sore. Bit by bit, it hurt like tearing with the truth.

"But, do you know why your imperial sister hid this edict?" Empress Ning's voice became more serious in the silent hall. Touching Yan Junyao's body, he said word by word: "Because of you!"

The rain outside the window was still falling continuously, and the main hall of Yi'an Palace flickered with lightning, reflecting Yan Junyao's pale face, his expression slowly solidified, and everything turned into shock and disbelief.

"If it's really for Erchen, then the imperial sister can tell Erchen from the beginning, so that Erchen doesn't have to hold grudges and misunderstand her for so many years." As he spoke, it seemed that he had found an outlet for the guilt and pain in his heart, Yan Junyao She raised her head abruptly and said with a smile: "Ha, what you said is that you are wholeheartedly for my son, but it is actually just a cover for the imperial sister to deliberately plan to get the throne. Three years ago, I kept my son as the crown prince, but I treated my son as a hostage Exile to the Yang Kingdom, so that the Queen can control the government in a legitimate way, is this her real purpose?"

Empress Ning lowered her head and gently scratched the teacup. When she heard Yan Junyao's words, her eyes were fixed, and a cold stream of light flashed across her eyes, and she said slowly: "You have been in Yangguo for three years. Then I will send someone to tell the Ai family and your imperial sister to know the truth, but how much do you know about Yan Guo in these years?"

Yan Junyao was slightly stunned, as if he had an answer in his heart, his whole hand trembled unconsciously.He heard Empress Ning's voice coming to his ears from the front, without giving him the slightest chance to breathe, it sounded coldly.

"When you left, the country of Yan had long been unbearable to be invaded by the country of Sui. Your imperial sister took over such a precarious royal family. During the years you were in the Yang country, did the monarch of the Yang country treat you badly? Have you ever thought about how Yan Guo’s life is like walking on thin ice every day?” After drinking the tea into her mouth, it slowly condensed into a bitter taste, Empress Ning put the cup and said: “Prince, you It is said that your imperial sister hid the will for her own benefit, but she is for you. When the late emperor passed away three years ago, if you had been directly appointed as the crown prince, then it would be justifiable to announce the will. But now you have the content of the will I know that the announcement of the will will definitely lead to chaos in the world. The princes will persecute and kill each other for the throne, but if you don’t announce it, even if you, the crown prince, really inherit the throne, it will be unfair and will definitely attract criticism from the people of the world. As a last resort, she will make such a bad move to send you to Yangguo, do you understand her good intentions? Maybe you understand?"

Empress Ning's two pressing questions pierced into Jiang Ningzui's heart, and she seemed to be able to empathize with the sincere pain inside. No matter whether Yan Junyao could understand it or not, at this moment, Jiang Ningzui really knew it all.

Yan Yilan hid this edict, and then chose to send Yan Junyao as a hostage to the Yang Kingdom. One reason was to keep him. If Dayan really died, he was far away in the Yang Kingdom, and with the protection of the King of Beiyang, he would naturally be able to escape. Second, Yan Yilan deliberately created rumors that she and Yan Junyao were at odds, making the world mistakenly think that she deliberately framed Yan Junyao for the purpose of ascending the throne and controlling the imperial power. He would guess that the reason why she has been reluctant to announce the will is because she wants to suppress Yan Junyao, who is the prince, so that no one will doubt the content of the will.

Yan Junyao, the prince, can be justified, and this will not be known to outsiders, so that no one will be suspicious.

Everything is revealed.Yan Yilan tried her best to keep her only younger brother.If not, the only person who is most likely to ascend to the throne now is King Wu. According to his ruthless character, even if Yan Yilan can't be moved due to the late emperor's edict, Yan Junyao is a thorn in his side, and he will definitely not keep Yan Junyao around. world.Maybe Yan Yilan had expected all of this, that's why she didn't hesitate to let Yan Junyao misunderstand, and she didn't hesitate to be hated by her most beloved brother, and she had to do so.

Yan Junyao may have fully understood at this moment, he opened his eyes blankly, staring blankly at the empty edict in front of him, his body trembled like a dry branch in winter, as if it was about to crumble at any moment, and fell limp to the ground.Several bolts of lightning struck behind him one after another, but he stood there blankly with red eyes open.

"You are her younger brother! She has loved and protected her own younger brother for 20 years!" Empress Ning's voice could hardly maintain her usual calmness, her every word was trembling with tears lament. "She would rather bear the infamy of the world, but also defend the throne for you, but prince, you use these as a sharp sword, and slashed at her heart again and again. If the first emperor had eyes, how could he forgive you? Ignorant bastards!"

The truth came so heartbreakingly that he was caught off guard. It seemed that he could no longer bear any weight. Yan Junyao collapsed on the chair, his hands tightly clenched the armrests on both sides of the chair, and his fingertips were tightly clasped. The handrails were made of solid wood, his eyes were as red as fire, and a low-pitched roar came from his throat.

Memories that he didn't want to recall for a long time flooded into his mind at this moment.

He suddenly remembered the night when he was ten years old.

He still clearly remembered that that night was New Year's Eve.There was a family banquet in the palace, and all the princes and princesses gathered together, but he felt extremely bored, so he stayed in the palace and refused to go to the banquet for a long time, clamoring to leave the palace.The nanny had nothing to do with him, and she didn't dare to disturb the emperor, so she had to report the matter to the emperor's sister.

I thought that I would be reprimanded by the imperial sister, but I never thought that she would lead him to escape the guards and sneak out of the palace without saying a word.

The night of Lin'an City is brilliant and prosperous, and it is the New Year's Eve, the streets are crowded with people, and there are noisy voices everywhere, and all kinds of faces pass by them, with the most authentic expressions, all kinds of bright red Lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, and people go to visit together, and the lights are brilliant.

Yan Junyao had never been out of the palace, so he stood blankly among the crowd, unknowingly starting to feel a little at a loss.It was the first time he had seen so many people, and was crowded in the bustling crowd by so many people. Like everyone around him, he had no identity, no status, and no suspicion.

Yan Yilan took his hand and walked with him, the streets of Lin'an City were brightly lit and full of people, he held Yan Yilan's hand faintly, for fear of losing sight of her.Suddenly, he saw Yan Yilan turning around and smiling brightly at him, her stunning face reflected the lights all over the street, surpassing all the radiance above her head for a moment.

"This will be your world in the future."

Hearing this, Yan Junyao looked at the bustling and bustling Lin'an City, and suddenly felt a little excited and looking forward to it.

And this sentence, thinking about it now, his sister Huang never forgot, and the person who really forgot——is him!

Maybe Huangjie really wanted to tell him everything, maybe Huangjie chose to send him back on New Year's Eve this year because she wanted to tell him what she said before, and wanted to tell him all the truth.

He still remembered the New Year's Eve when he returned to Dayan, the imperial sister hosted a banquet for all the ministers and greeted him under the city gate.

That night was also like the scenery he saw in Lin'an City when he was ten years old, festive red lanterns were hung everywhere, illuminating the entire palace.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of people talking, her imperial sister was wearing a charming red phoenix dress, standing under the lantern and watching him enter the city.He never told Sister Huang that there were many people there that night, but he still caught sight of her in the crowd. His Sister Huang was always the most dazzling one.

He walked over following the instructions of Huang Jie, and saw his Huang Jie handing him the lantern in her hand, and said, "Prince, today is New Year's Eve."

It's a pity that he just threw the lantern on the ground coldly, gritted his teeth and looked at Huang Jie, and said word by word: "Huang Jie really doesn't need to be hypocritical, what about New Year's Eve, what kind of reunion night, in Huang Jie's eyes, where is it?" Is there still a little bit of family affection to miss?"

The lantern fell to the ground, the red paper ignited the candle, the tongue of flame quickly swallowed it, and the lantern was instantly reduced to ashes.When the fire was extinguished, he saw a trace of helplessness in his imperial sister's eyebrows, which faded away in the lively night.

Perhaps Huang Jie wanted to tell him that he had grown up.He is no longer the reckless boy she remembered, he has become calmer and restrained, even these are coexisting with the hatred for her, but it doesn't matter, she is still glad.

Perhaps Huang Jie wanted to tell him that she was very happy to see that he was all right.

perhaps……

But his imperial sister just bent over, wanting to pick up the lantern that was engulfed in the firelight, but she seemed to realize that it was too late, she withdrew her hand, and whispered into the red firelight: "You should hate me. "Speaking, the helplessness and entanglement in Huang Jie's expression were fleeting, leaving a face of indifference, and said: "I can't tolerate you, and you should hate me."

Jiang Ningzui silently watched Yan Junyao's fascinated expression, she retracted her eyes, took a few steps towards Empress Ning, saluted slowly, then got up and walked outside Yi'an Palace.

"Drunk." Empress Ning stopped her in a deep voice, her voice was cold and sincere. "Do you know why the Ai family called you here?"

Jiang Ningzui paused, recovered her senses and looked up at Empress Ning, saying: "I will not leave her, no matter what she wants to do, I will not leave her alone."

"Very good." Empress Ning looked at Jiang Ningzui, with a trace of relief in her eyes. When she spoke, her voice was cold and solemn, but only in this sentence, her voice had warmth. "Aijia doesn't know what else can make her happy now, and she doesn't know what she wants. But Aijia knows that she has you in her heart, so Aijia thinks, maybe you know the answer. Aijia is very happy. If you want to do something for her, can you do it for Aijia?"

Jiang Ningzui lowered her eyes. After a long time, she saluted respectfully and said, "I can."

Because I know that in this life, I will never leave her.I can't leave her either.
