Unspeakable and strange

Such idle and boring days did not last long.

When winter came, civil strife broke out in the Yin Kingdom. It was said that it was a royal infighting. Although it was quickly suppressed, it gave the Di Kingdom an opportunity.If Di Guo had divine help along the way, he attacked the city and conquered the territory, and defeated Yin Guo steadily, and soon his troops were at the bottom of the city.

When the battle report came, the Empress Dowager Yin and Yin Rao were embracing the red stove with a big cloak to enjoy the snow in the imperial garden. The green pines were covered with broken snow, and the garden was covered with white.

As soon as the chicken feather letter arrived, she asked Yin Rao to return to the palace, and hurried to Yanning's palace by herself, asking him to take out the half tiger talisman and send troops to rescue Yin.He lost his shoes on the road, and rushed in with a pair of white socks on, his temples were disheveled, and his expression was flustered. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Yan Ning's hand, "Have you got any news from Di Guo? Send troops over there quickly, and you can still be saved if you send troops now! "

Seeing her flustered look, Yan Ning frowned and said, "Since my mother is already a queen mother, you should be more careful about your manners."

Mrs. Yin was anxious, "What's your attitude? Human life is at stake right now, where is the tiger amulet?"

Yan Ning withdrew his hand, with a cold face, "I got the news yesterday, and the dispatch of troops still needs to be discussed and decided."

"This is an order!" Mrs. Yin looked at him incredulously, pointing her finger at Yan Ning, "I am the Queen Mother, I want you to send troops to attack Di Kingdom immediately. As long as the country is besieged, they will withdraw their troops, Yin Guo There will be a chance to breathe, and a comeback will surely come."

"Our current military strength is no different from that of Di Guo. I will not take risks." Yan Ning said coldly, "You also know that you are the queen mother of Xi Guo, and you should put your own country's interests first."

Madam Yin's lips turned pale, she looked up at Yan Ning who was standing on the Danxi platform, and suddenly realized that he had grown so tall, she felt a little panicked, but she still forced herself to remain calm, "Who allows you to talk to me like this?" The Empress Dowager asked me to supervise the country, this Tiger Talisman has never belonged to you, I can use it however I want!"

She rushed forward, but before reaching the jade steps, she was stopped by the guards on both sides.

"It's not mine, is it yours?" Yan Ning lowered her eyes, looking down at the woman controlled by the soldiers.

The ceiling of Xuanhua Hall is very high, and the sunlight is projected from the high panes on both sides, hitting him, forming a contrast between light and dark, and stretching his shadow very long behind him.Looking at the past like this, there is an indescribable coercion that makes people breathless.

Yan Ning turned her back, pressed her knuckle hands on the table, and said flatly, "The Empress Dowager is tired, send the Empress Dowager back to rest."

"No, wait!" Empress Dowager Yin grabbed her collar, her face was stained with tears, she crawled up to reach Yan Ning's clothes, "Prince Yin is my brother, I can't let him die."

Yan Ning looked at her half-turned, squatted down slowly, and slowly opened the convulsed hand, "But I am the king of Xi State, and I can't do anything that is not good for my own country."

"No, no, you're lying!" She shook her head violently, all the pearls and hairpins on her head collided, and she stared, "This is revenge! You are taking revenge on me!"

Yan Ning rolled her eyes and said softly, "I'm just a bastard of a Fanbang dancer girl, how dare I take revenge on you?"

"You must die!" Empress Dowager Yin's eyes were bloodshot, and she rushed forward, and was immediately stopped by the guards. When she was carried away from the Xuanhua Palace, her chicken claw-like nails were still piercing through the guards' arms before waving.Along the way, she yelled miserably, "You killed my Duan'er and Yin Guo, you're just a bastard who doesn't know where you came from, why do you sit in this seat, you will die badly!"

Mrs. Yin was imprisoned in the palace, beating the palace door day after day, and crying miserably all day long. Her face, which was nourished by power, quickly shriveled within a few days, and gradually turned into a dry date.

Yan Ning could often hear the weeping coming from her palace, it was like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, which always disturbed him.He complained to Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi received the order mysteriously, and the next day Xiao Shunzi told him that Mrs. Yin had lost her voice.Now at night, there is no sound in the palace, it is as quiet as a tomb.

The palace supervisor's announcement of the funeral was transmitted far away, and it was reported that Mrs. Yin had been on a hunger strike since the day she was imprisoned, and because of excessive grief, she exhausted her energy and died within a week.

Yan Ning went to the bedroom later, the door was covered with bloody scratches, there were broken fingernails in the cracks of the mahogany door, and the bricks on the floor had been carefully cleaned, and they were as clean as new, without any signs of damage. trace.

He stayed in the empty dormitory for a long time, the gauze curtains fluttered in the wind, but there was still a slight smell of blood in the air, which made people's internal organs stir together and almost vomit.

A bright white jade bead rolled out from the side of the pillow. It was pure white and flawless. It was half the size of a fist. It was often held and played by the Empress Dowager Yin. It was warm to the touch. It is said that it was given to her by her father on her wedding night. , Praise her as beautiful as jade.

Yan Ning put the bead into the coffin, arranged a grand and complicated funeral for her, and buried her with her father.

The next day he heard that Yin Rao had thrown himself into the lake.

Fortunately, he was rescued.However, due to the cold, he developed a high fever, which lasted for three days and three nights, until he became unconscious.Muttering something in his mouth, first the father, then the mother and the aunt, and finally called Chun Niang, save me, the water is so cold.

It took three days for the imperial doctor to recover his life from the ghost gate.

Xiao Shunzi asked him if he wanted to go and have a look, Yanning hesitated for a while, but still didn't go, but told everyone to treat her with the etiquette of a queen, and never be mean.

His absurdly short marriage was over.

Yin Rao stayed behind closed doors, and he subconsciously avoided her.Even though they are in the same cage, they are both afraid of each other. What lies in the middle is the national hatred and family hatred piled up by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Only very occasionally would he recall, on the wedding night when he lifted his hipa and saw those eyes full of autumn water, the woman whispered innocently and shyly, "My family's nickname is Yaoyao."

Recipe, Shining.What a good name, it should be harmonious and happy, suitable for its family.

"What are you thinking, Your Majesty?"

Chun Niang pushed his shoulder and called him back.

Yan Ning shook her head, and what caught her eyes was still the bright red silk and satin characters, beaming with joy.

On the day of the big wedding, these things happened nearly 20 years ago, and now Xi Guo is gone, why did he come back to this time?

Yan Ning sat on the chair nervously, waiting for Zhu'er to find Qin Hongfeng.

He secretly pinched his arm, and it hurt like hell, so it wasn't him who was hysterical.

Thinking about the series of weird things that have happened since entering the city, there must be something wrong with this city, he can't really go back to the past, so this can only be some kind of spooky illusion.It was so real, he looked at Chunniang's gray hair at the temples, and the fine lines accumulated at the corners of her eyes, it was too real.

While thinking about it, Zhu'er hastily pulled someone across the threshold and ran in, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Qin has arrived."

"So fast?" Chunniang was a little surprised.

Zhu'er was out of breath, "I, I bumped into him on the way, so I dragged my lord here."

A fan with jade bones lifted the curtain, revealing his white clothes, and the people who were drawn were calm and relaxed.

Yan Ning looked up at him, feeling suddenly sad.

He used to think that Qin Hongfeng was so nervous about Yan Ning that he would spare his life to save him, so they naturally fell in love with each other, not to mention each other, they could be regarded as two hearts.But I didn't expect that there had never been any deep love, nor had there been any unswerving love until death. From the beginning to the end, it was just a transaction.

For Qin Hongfeng, these affairs may be just a little pastime for him to live in this boring and trivial world.It was rare for him to go down the mountain, and he met an interesting person who was shameless and voluntarily dedicated himself, so he pushed the boat along with the flow, half pushed and half agreed.If this person is knowledgeable and has all kinds of tricks to seduce people, he will stay for a few more days.When you get tired of playing and tasteless, you can leave in a cool and unrestrained manner, and you will never miss it.

Such a person who uses emotion as a fun-seeking person, how can he have a heart?

For a moment, Yan Ning's chest was oppressed as if being pressed by a boulder, and he couldn't breathe.

He was in the situation himself, so he naturally knew what he was thinking at that time.

Even if I had other thoughts at the beginning, I really moved my mind later.

The seven emotions and six desires are like cooking oil in a raging fire. When indulged in sensuality, it is inevitable that you will not be in love day and night.He is not like that person, he has a heart of iron and stone, and can see through the colors of the world.

When he got married, he was half doing it for the country and half out of anger, angry at him for being merciless, shaking everything out, and puncturing the ambiguity that seemed to be there.If you don't talk about it, you can still lie to yourself, as if you are not so frivolous and vulgar, maybe this person also has a little bit of affection.But the taste of what he said changed. The warmth and sweetness and the whispered love words in the lingering time were like a steel knife that scraped the bone, causing blood all over the body and chilling the heart.

What's wrong with him?Even if he had other thoughts, it was just to let that person stay for a while.

At that time, the father died, and the mother took power.Xi was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and he was very anxious, and all the people close to him were replaced. Although he was Xi Wang, he was almost under house arrest in the palace, and he was not allowed to take a step.He had always trusted Qin Hongfeng the most, and always felt that everything would be safe with him, but at such an embarrassing moment, he disappeared.I looked around in a daze, the walls were empty, the people in the palace had two faces, no one was trustworthy, no one was available, I couldn't help being angry, how could he leave without an explanation, how could he give him hope and then take it away?

His thoughts suddenly came to a dead end, only then did he think of making him owe him something, and let him have a little bond with him, so that next time he would not be able to walk freely and cleanly, without any worries.

Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. I've been trapped in the deep palace for a long time, and my thinking is so naive.

In fact, after all the excuses, isn't it because the moment I looked up and saw him on Qingfeng Mountain, my heart was moved?

If he hadn't been tempted, how could he find such a clumsy reason for himself to be greedy for a moment of joy?

When he saw the man bowed his head and stretched out his hand to him, he tried his best to grab it. Now that he caught it, he couldn't bear to let go. Is this wrong?
