Fifteen miles outside the city of Kaifeng, the autumn wind was blowing, the yellow leaves were flying, and the drizzle was pattering. All the officials were dressed in white, wearing a white tunic on their heads, and white silk around their waists, kneeling upright on both sides of the road.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes roared in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw a golden carriage drawn by eight tall horses. A man got off from the carriage, wearing a golden crown, wearing white clothes and a white belt around his waist. The cuffs of civil servants and generals behind him are tied with white circles.

"His Majesty."

Li Ruiyuan, Li Jinghe, the two brothers knelt forward, tears streaming down their faces.

Xiao Yantian helped him up and said: "Take me to pay homage to the Prime Minister."

Triumphant parade, tributes, and celebration banquets are all cancelled. The Minister of Rites, Huai Yunsang, has people leading the way.

The first seven were buried over their heads, and the emperor helped the spirit himself.

Later, Li Jinghe was the prime minister. Although everyone disapproved of his young age, they saw that he planned a counterattack when Pan Dun, Pan Jinqiao and his daughter raided the imperial city a month ago, and then dispatched troops to guard Kaifeng, and separated Pan's father and daughter from the imperial city. Fifty thousand grass bandits were wiped out.

For the sake of the overall situation, he forbears his father's death.

He was still calm and calm under grief, so the officials did not dare to speak anymore.

At this point, in the third year of Wenxuan, the battle between Zhongmiao and Miao was suspended, known in history as: the battle of death.

More than [-] people died in each of the two countries.

King Miao died before the battle, and during the state funeral, the people mourned. Later, his brother Hua Yang succeeded to the throne and changed the king to emperor with the reign name of Datong.

General Lang Hantian of the Yunlan Kingdom was wounded in front of the battle and died in the Zhonglie Hall. He was posthumously named Xiaozhonghou.

Li Xian, the prime minister of the three dynasties, was killed by the rebel general Pan Dun. His third son, Li Jinghe, was only 17 years old, beheaded Pan's father and daughter in Bianshui, and buried [-] captives alive in Hejian.

The old emperor of Biansha State died of a serious illness. The second prince took advantage of the crown prince's thousand sons to conquer Kaifeng and forced the palace to usurp the throne. The prince returned to the army.

Xuanwen Emperor Xiao Yantian found his former husband in Bianyang City, brought him back to the imperial city, and made him his queen.

In September, chrysanthemums bloom everywhere.

There are more or less a few chrysanthemums planted in the courtyards of every household in the streets and alleys. Men, women, old and young, literati and inkmen enjoy chrysanthemums, drink wine, and climb high and look far away.

Everyone loves chrysanthemums.

Even the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace wear chrysanthemums all over their temples, and civil and military officials don't have a beautiful chrysanthemum on Wusha. There is only one place, one person, who doesn't like chrysanthemums, but prefers red maple leaves.

At this moment, she was dressed in red like a cloud, sitting on a rocking chair under the maple leaves, with bare feet, holding a soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake, while waving a fan and cursing: "Smelly shameless, lie to me! Your back is messed up, You pretended to be calm and drank and played the piano with me by Yuqiong Lake, and listened to Zen at Dongmen Temple!"

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I gritted my teeth with hatred.

"Empress, Your Majesty said that you are not allowed to go barefoot, as it is easy to catch cold."

The palace maid Huan'er came over with the shoes and carefully reminded them.

Lan Xun was angry and said angrily, "What empress? I'm a man, are you blind?"

Huan'er was only 14 years old this year, she was timid, so frightened that she knelt on the ground and shed tears, saying: "The empress, please calm down."

Lan Xunyu said impatiently, "Why are you crying?"

Huan'er quickly wiped away her tears, sobbed softly, holding the shoes, not daring to pass them forward, not daring to retreat, knelt on the ground deadlocked, how uncomfortable it was.

A white hand came over and took the shoes in her hand. Huan'er looked back and said in surprise, "Your Majesty."

Lan Xunyu didn't raise her head, snorted coldly and said, "When will you let me go?"

Xiao Yantian waved to Huan'er and said, "Go down."

As if seeing Avalokitesvara, Huan'er kowtowed joyfully, and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Yantian took the shoes, squatted down, held Lan Xunyu's feet, squeezed them, and said with a smile: "It's good to have some flesh." He helped Lan Xunyu put on the socks and shoes, and said with a smile: "The Western Regions paid tribute to two baskets Big red pomegranate, Lou Yunmeng and the others said it was delicious and sweet, I left one for you, would you like to try it?"

As he spoke, he took out a ruddy pomegranate from his sleeve.

Break it apart, the red flesh is crystal clear, and the fruit is big and round.

Lan Xunyu glanced at it, salivating, but turned his face away and said, "What's so rare?"

Xiao Yantian picked him up, put him on his lap, handed over the fruit, and said with a smile, "You really don't want to eat it?"

"Humph."

"There are no pomegranates in Yunlan, nor in Jiangnan. If the seeds are left to grow into saplings and planted on the ground, people will be able to eat them soon..."

Before Xiao Yantian finished his words, Lan Xunyu grabbed the pomegranate, looked at it seriously, pinched a grain and put it in his mouth, the juice was sweet, spit out the seed and put it in the palm of his hand.

After a while, when the pomegranate was finished, Lan Xunyu slammed his mouth and said: "You are an emperor, you still hide the fruit and put it in your sleeve, you don't think you will lose your status."

Xiao Yantian rubbed his head and said with a smile: "In ancient times, some people hid oranges for their mothers to eat, why can't I hide pomegranates for my husband?"

Lan Xunyu said angrily, "Who is your husband?"

Xiao Yantian smiled and said, "Isn't it you?"

Lan Xunyu's heart was cold and sore, she lowered her head, and said: "The better you treat me, the more uncomfortable I will be. Que'er is gone, and I have no relatives anymore, and I was taken captive by you to the deep palace again," looking at the The man said sadly: "I don't know how the situation in Miaojiang is, whether the migration is smooth, whether the people have adapted to the life in the south of the Yangtze River, whether the court hall has been rebuilt..."

He stood up, took off a maple leaf, looked at the red in the courtyard, and said: "A man with ambition, his name will last forever, the king of my country, how can you be your prisoner?"

He turned around, knelt down in front of Xiao Yantian, raised his head and said sincerely: "You don't want to fight, so I will do what you want. After I go back, I will never raise troops."

Xiao Yantian stared at Lan Xunyu quietly with his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Lan Xunyu also looked back at Xiao Yantian.

The world seemed to lose its sound in an instant.

Only the eyes are intertwined.

After a long time, Lan Xunyu leaned forward, leaned her lips, and touched the thin soft place, her eyes were as gentle as spring water, her eyes seemed to hide infinite ease, her slightly hoarse voice was like someone singing in the deep sea to confuse passers-by Like a fairy, said: "Master, you love me very much, don't you?"

Xiao Yantian trembled slightly, and whispered: "I love you."

Lan Xunyu rubbed Xiao Yantian's neck with his hand, and said softly: "Give me your life, please?"

"what?"

A handful of pink medicinal powder flew out from the sleeve and sprinkled around Xiao Yantian.

The pungent breath spread, and the guards around fell to the ground.

The surrounding flowers and trees instantly withered and died.

The maple trees all over the yard were not spared either.

Lan Xunyu ran out from the footsteps like flying, walked through the corridor, flew over the eaves and walls, left the Qianqing Palace, crossed the Imperial Garden, took off her brocade dress at a corner door, and took off the gold and jade crown.

"Who!"

A guard ran over.

Lan Xunyu quickly flashed behind the door,

When people come in, raise your hand like a knife and knock people out from behind,

Dragging in, he took off the clothes on his bodyguard and changed quickly,

He casually touched the black ash on the ground and smeared it on his face.

A set of movements is as fast as clouds and flowing water, as if they have been practiced for a long time.

There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and someone shouted: "There are assassins! Your Majesty is injured!"

The Imperial Forest Army from all directions rushed into the Qianqing Palace, and the inside and outside of the palace were surrounded densely. With the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the panic and screams of all the officials stumbling, the palace was full of people.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Lan Xunyu moved back slowly, retreated behind the Xuanyang Gate, turned around, and ran out quickly.

At this time, a black figure jumped down from the tree, looked at the fleeing people, and sighed, "It's exactly as His Majesty expected," shaking his head, and said, "Why are you running away when you have His Majesty's baby? What a mess!" don't know."

The escape was extremely smooth, Lan Xunyu left the palace not long after, she was so tired that she was out of breath, she felt as if she had collapsed, she couldn't breathe, so she had to lean against the wall and rest for a while.

Recently, for some reason, my body has become heavier and clumsier. Is it true that I eat and sleep like a pig in the palace every day?

"Hey! What are you doing?"

A general wearing armor and wearing a red wreath with peacock feathers stared at Lan Xunyu, looked at Lan Xunyu for a while, and asked loudly, "What are the imperial guards in the palace doing outside?"

Lan Xunyu respectfully said: "The young one is ordered by the emperor to go to work outside the city."

The man looked at Lan Xunyu suspiciously, and asked, "Do you have a waist card?"

Lan Xunyu handed it over, the man looked at it and said: "Since it is sent by the emperor, do it quickly."

Lan Xunyu nodded quickly, "Yes."

After leaving the palace, I walked to Deyang Street and entered a tailor shop.

Seeing Lan Xunyu's identification as an officer, the owner of the tailor shop immediately nodded and bowed, and let him choose the best clothes. Lan Xunyu was not too polite, and chose a water-blue straight gown with a white gauze coat.

Then I went to another shop and bought a hosta, a Jinchuaner fan and a drapery hat.

Finally, I went to the inn and asked the boss for a basin of water to wash my face, clean myself from top to bottom,

Immediately feel refreshed.

Stand in front of the Linghua straight mirror and take a look.

Yell, what an elegant and handsome man.

Shit empress, let Xiao Yantian eat shit!

Lan Guangyu looked at it for a while, then nodded and said: Personable and beautiful.

It's just that my stomach looks a little strange and bulging. I remember that I used to wear a belt and it looked like a tree. Now why does it feel a little...fat?

no no no...

Lan Xunyu pulled the belt tightly.

It was a little thinner, but it was not very comfortable, and then he loosened his belt again.

Ordered a table of dishes and a jug of wine.

While eating and humming a little tune, they drank wine.

Poured a glass, the wine tasted sour and sweet, but it didn't taste like wine, so he called the waiter and said, "Bring a good wine, this wine has no taste."

Xiaoer smiled and said: "Guest officer doesn't know, our unsealed wine has no taste..."

Lan Xunyu frowned.

Xiao Er quickly smiled and waved his hands and said, "Although our wine doesn't smell like wine at the beginning, it has great stamina. It's called "Recovery Wine."

Lan Xunyu waved his hand and said: "Since that's the case, bring more redemption wine, and I will bring some home."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Yes."

Lan Xunyu was full of wine and food, and felt sleepy, so she lay down on the field and took a nap for a while, thinking about finding a carriage to go on the road, but for some reason, she fell asleep until the next day, and went out to see the city. There was no notice posted, and there was no heavy alert, so he thought: Could it be that Xiao Yantian didn't send troops to arrest him?

In line with the most dangerous place is the safest place,

Lan Xunyu did not escape immediately yesterday,

Instead, hide in the city first, and run away after the limelight passes.

Now the city is peaceful, as if nothing happened, which makes him a little worried.

Inquiring about the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper said: "It's nothing serious. I heard from my nephew who was serving in the palace that the emperor accidentally fell while walking yesterday. All the officials were alarmed and thought it was an assassin. Now it's all right."

Lan Xunyu said: "Where is the Empress?"

The shopkeeper said: "The empress is in the palace."

The shopkeeper whispered: "However, my nephew also said that a young eunuch favored by the emperor ran into the palace yesterday. He was about twenty years old, with delicate features and good looks. The emperor was afraid that people would know that he favored eunuchs, so he ordered General Zheng to secretly arrest .”

Lan Xunyu's face turned green.

Eunuch? !
