bright sheath

Withered grass, frost and white flowers, new shadows in the cold window night.Unconsciously, more than a month has passed, the moon is bright outside the window, and the candles are flickering in front of the window. Chen Yunyu is leaning over the desk and is picking up a pen, but unexpectedly, her eyes are dazzled by a little white. Embedded in the gap of the window frame.

It turned out to be November.

I don't know when, news of Emperor Jing's serious illness suddenly came out from the court, and the imperial physicians couldn't diagnose and treat the cause. They only said that the emperor was weak, tired from thinking, unable to stand for a long time, and gradually couldn't even get out of bed. Chen Yunyu felt strange. How can it be so fast?

He had visited Emperor Jing several times in the palace. At that time, he only watched from a distance for a while, and Emperor Jing raised his hand to let him go out. For no reason, he thought of the beautiful woman Lai Mu and smiled.

The letter written by Moonlight the night before yesterday was written to Wang Mian. The poor old Shangshu was thousands of miles away and still worried about the imperial court. In the letter, he wished for every word of his heart. All he thought about was that the crown prince was still alive, the second prince What do you want to do by acting so grandiosely?In this regard, his reply letter is concise and to the point: Do your best and obey the destiny.Other than that, he couldn't think of anything else to say, and he had nothing to say. Although he wasn't a good person, he couldn't do something like a weasel giving a chicken a New Year greeting—it wasn't kind.

Speaking of which, he would not believe that the prince Yingtian's health had nothing to do with the second prince, but there was no way to investigate this matter. Firstly, Yingtian Mountain was high and the emperor was far away. The officials of the sky originally had a vegetarian meal in their corpses, so they muddled along, and there were not many people working with them. Even if they checked, they could only find out the result that the higher-ups wanted to hear.In the palace, Emperor Jing was seriously ill, and sometimes he would wake up worried, and all he could read was the prince's name, so the palace people had no choice but to comfort him: "Go back to the emperor, I'm fine, I took two steps down the ground the day before yesterday."

Emperor Jing relaxed and nodded, and then fell asleep in a drowsy state. The scent of sandalwood wafted in the bedroom, and the day passed.At this time, everyone will listen to him whatever he wants to hear. Is it possible that someone who is about to die can live forever?Just dreaming.

These days Chen Yunyu has been watching with cold eyes, suddenly he feels that it is an emperor so what, the glory and wealth are just passing by, is there anyone who really loves him?If so, why is there nothing in front of this precious dragon bed?He thought of Ling Yanchi again, thinking that if he really succeeded, what would this person think of him, would he hate his bloody hands and turn around and leave?

In mid-November, the wind was very strong for several consecutive days, and people's faces were hurt by the blowing. The faces of women walking on the street were covered with thick veils, but a letter passed through them that night. The majestic palace wall was in the hands of Chen Yunyu——Emperor Chen Jing died.

This incident was both unexpected and within his expectations. He knew that he might not live long, but he never thought that he would die so soon. Chen Yunyu woke up Shi Muxue at night and sent her out of the city. On the way, he met someone he missed day and night.

Ling Yanchi was dressed in green daisy, with disheveled hair, and was riding fast, without noticing the oncoming carriage, but Chen Yunyu had spotted him early on, this appearance on horseback, this familiar black color, this is him sweetheart...

"Yan Chi!" He stood in front of the carriage and shouted.

"Woo..." Ling Yan pulled the stiff rope abruptly, and the horse's hooves suddenly lifted up, almost throwing him off.

"Yunyu, is that you?" He was a little uncertain.

Chen Yunyu used his lightness kung fu to rush towards him. At this moment, he only felt his heart stretch, as if the snow had just melted in the winter of March, when he saw Chuyang in the thick water vapor, his heart was so happy that he was about to fly, and then his sweetheart Just hugged him.

"You're finally here, I miss you so much." Chen Yunyu threw herself into his arms, barely daring to open her eyes.

"Well... I'm here." Ling Yanchi replied softly, until the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, this person is still fine... After a while he smiled and said, "Don't hug me so tightly, I can't even breathe~"

Originally, Chen Yunyu was full of sadness and tears were rolling in his eyes, but now he smiled and pressed against his chest and said, "I want you not to grow any meat..."

"Didn't I want to eat meat with you after I came here~ It's fine, don't hug me, I've been spotted by other girls, son, are you ashamed..." Ling Yanchi discovered the slightly curious voice early in the morning. Sizing eyes.

It wasn't until then that he thought of the business, dragged Ling Yanchi to the carriage, and explained to him: "Emperor Jing passed away, and now the entire inner palace is under the control of the Second Prince."

Even though Ling Yanchi had already expected that there would be changes in the capital, he didn't expect it to change so quickly, so he grabbed his hand and said, "Did you do something about it?"

He asked straightforwardly, Chen Yunyu lowered his head and looked gloomy, but still shook his head, but Ling Yanchi hugged him the next moment, coaxing: "It's okay, it's okay, it's lucky you didn't do anything..."

"What if I do it?" He asked in a low voice against his chest.

"It's okay, I'm here, and I won't leave you alone." He patiently patted his back and comforted him in a low voice.

Chen Yunyu leaned against him and didn't speak, her heart was a little cold, at this moment Shi Muxue coughed and said, "Well, can I talk now?"

Ling Yanchi laughed immediately, and teased her: "Didn't the girl hold her breath and look serious just now, why did she ask for our opinion at this time?"

It's dark and she can't see his face clearly, but she only feels that he loves to smile very much, which is a world of difference from this prince, so she raised her head and said to him: "Please help me to ask your friend, is this a question for you?" Where are you sending me?"

"Yunyu, are you listening, can I ask you?" Ling Yanchi patted him on the back.

"No matter where you go, you can't die left or right..." Chen Yunyu said in a bad tone.

Shi Muxue coldly glanced at the impatient eldest son and said, "It's the imperial concubine, I think my status is not as good as that of a gatekeeper in your house, at least you should be greeted when you go out." Twice."

As expected, Chen Yunyu turned around and frowned, "What are you talking about! Who is the Crown Princess!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ling Yan hurriedly broke him up and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, stop talking, girl, don't be angry with him, he has a bad temper, just ask me if you want to know anything."

Shi Muxue looked at him suspiciously, "You know? What do you know? You're not even in the capital."

"People are much smarter than you!" Chen Yunyu interrupted.

"Hey! Why didn't I realize that you were so short-mouthed before!" Shi Muxue rolled up her sleeves and wanted to hit someone.

Ling Yanchi hurriedly stood between the two of them, and said: "At this moment there are great changes in the palace, he must have brought the girl out to save the girl's life, and the more dangerous the place, the safer, he would not bring the girl out If you go to a deep mountain or an old forest, they will probably arrange a false identity for you to live in a family."

Chen Yunyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, Shi Muxue knew at a glance that he was right, marveled at his cleverness, couldn't help but be sour on Chen Yunyu: "My son, you only cultivated it after being a beggar in your previous life. Come to the blessing!"

"Princess, you talk too much."

Listening to his sudden and vivid words, she felt that the indifferent and cunning prince seemed to have changed, he became like a human being... It turned out that the shock of the carriage when he rushed down was not an illusion... I am afraid that it was this man who gave him strength. The one who keeps smiling?For no reason, she was a little envious.

After Shi Muxue was settled, it was already dawn, and the two of them just walked hand in hand on the long and quiet official road. It was still early, but there were already traveling merchants carrying their burdens to the direction of the city. The poplar trees on both sides of the road were their only Partners, the bare tree trunks that can't be seen at a glance, stand proudly in the smoky morning light, they look at everyone who comes and goes with the most affectionate eyes, and see them off.

Pulling his hand, Ling Yanchi asked him softly: "It's about this time, tell me what you think."

Thinking of his nervous expression last night, Chen Yunyu lowered her head and shook slightly.

"It's so mysterious, why can't even I say it?" He deliberately blocked his way, holding his hand and walking backwards.

He hesitated a bit, so he said: "There's nothing to say, aren't there all kinds of conspiracies in the world?"

"Why, are you so afraid that I will despise you?"

Chen Yunyu's heart skipped a beat, she tilted her head and said, "No."

Seeing him like this, Ling Yanchi smiled again, and said: "If you don't want to say it, then I won't force you, anyway, now I have all the vassal king's tiger amulet, and if you want to change the sky, it's just a matter of my order, hehe, At that time, do you still have to call me His Majesty the Emperor?"

His heart skipped a beat, and he tugged at his arm and said, "What are you talking about? Why is my uncle's tiger talisman with you? How could they give it to you for no reason!"

"Don't worry~" Ling Yanchi leaned closer to his ear and said, "In the guise of the lord, I first created a united front, and then I came up with a plan... To prevent your uncles from stabbing each other in the back, order them to kill each other. They take care of each other's tiger talismans, and from the middle Li Daitao stiff... So the treasures they are protecting now are all fake, and the real ones are here with me. You also know that I am good at copying tiger talismans, so it's no problem to carve some tiger talismans. Ah... By the way, your father doesn't even know about this, he thought I used some trick to get them to hand over the Tiger Talisman..."

"You...how are you, why are you so bold, you're not afraid of cheating...you, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?" Chen Yunyu's heart was beating wildly, and she was pretending to be the queen of the catastrophe. the rest of my life.

"Don't talk so much, it's almost dawn, you go back quickly."

He froze for a moment and said, "What about you, won't you go back with me?"

Ling Yanchi touched his face and shook his head: "No, I wanted to see you when I entered the city at night. There are fifty thousand soldiers and horses ambushed by King Su a hundred miles away from the capital. I have to go and watch..."

"Are you crazy? Where do you put Liao Palace like this! Where do you put yourself!" Chen Yunyu glared at him.

"Don't worry, Yunyu, I've made all the preparations. Last month, there was a whole month of drought in Lanzhou, and today it's raining again and again, causing insect bites and diseases. The people can't eat enough. Taking advantage of this time to gain a good reputation, I sent soldiers and horses with food and grass to help the victims. I went halfway, and directly intercepted these soldiers... I wanted to take care of the people, but when I thought of you, I waited It's too late..."

For a moment, Chen Yunyu had mixed feelings, kissed his dry lips and said, "I...I don't need you to do anything, just stay where I can see you."

"Well... yes, go back, I will wait for you to pick me up after your triumphant return."

"it is good."

So Chen Yunyu turned around, full of ambition and longing.

Ling Yanchi stared at his back and refused to leave for a long time, what a fool...Even if you are willing to give me the whole world, I don't want your hands to be stained with blood...

After all, he is enough to walk out of the quagmire.
