Qing Yan

When Jing Yan returned to the palace, it was nearly dusk.But I saw a person grinding around in a hurry outside Kuntai Palace.

"Princess Anhe?" Jing Yan was slightly startled.

Yun Sujun didn't go out with Yujia?This meant that the little friend didn't even have a capable doctor around him.

Don't say that there are military doctors accompanying the army.Wuyou is a girl!How can those military doctors who wish to treat people like cattle and horses be reliable?

It's not that Jing Yan cursed Yu Wenrui to be injured, she was originally a wounded person, and there was no one around her who could take care of her at ease, so how could Jing Yan be relieved?

If that little friend was in front of him right now, Jing Yan really wanted to give her a good beating.

Naturally, Yun Sujun also saw the queen mother, and while she was slightly surprised by the dress of the queen mother and a group of entourages, she did not forget to greet her: "I have seen the queen mother!"

The anxious and flustered expression on her face has long been caught in Jing Yan's eyes, how can the whole world make Princess Anhe lose her temper?Besides the little friend who was rushing to the border, who else could there be?

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" Jing Jiayue, who followed Yu Wenrui a hundred miles away, sneezed several times in succession.

She rubbed her nose, and met Yu Wenrui's probing gaze.Jing Jiayue grinned at her, but Yu Wenrui was too lazy to talk to her, and turned back expressionlessly.

Sister Rui is in a bad mood?Since the time when soldiers were ordered, he has never shown a smile...

Jing Jiayue slandered.

It must be that Jun'er misses me... Otherwise, since he is not sick, why would he keep sneezing?

Thinking of this, Jing Yan felt a sweetness in his heart.

"Go in and talk about it." Jing Yan knew that since Yun Sujun came to see him in a hurry, there must be something important about Yu Wenrui.Although he was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but want to know what was going on in his heart.

Yun Sujun also has a neat personality. When she entered the inner room, she didn't say anything, and directly presented the small wooden box that Yu Wenrui gave her a few days ago to Jing Yan.

"This is..." Before the words came out, Jing Yan was startled by the thing in front of him.

You must know that the Tian family has its own rules, and some decorations may seem gorgeous, but not everyone can use them, such as the Nine Dragons cloud pattern on the box in front of the eyes, which is unique to the Tian family.What's more, Jing Yan has seen this thing before——

Ten years ago, the imperial edict of the first emperor Yu Wenzhe was sealed here.Before that, Yu Wenzhe clearly told Jing Yan at that time that he was going to be located in Yu Wenrui, but the box was kept sealed until Yu Wenzhe died, and Jing Yan and the queen mother who was still the queen mother opened it together. This box was only made public in the "Edict of the First Emperor".

Now, this scene will be staged again?

Thinking of this, Jing Yan's heart clenched into a ball.Can you just turn around and leave, as if all this never happened?

Looking at the wooden box, Jing Yan only felt terrified, the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask, he didn't dare to ask.

"This box was entrusted to the minister by His Majesty a few days ago." Yun Sujun fixed Jing Yan's expression, and felt even more nervous. "Your Majesty said at the time that if the time comes, I must hand over this box to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." Empress Dowager agrees."

Jing Yan gasped, staring at the lacquer seal on the wooden box, no matter how you looked at it, it felt hideous.

Yun Sujun hurriedly said again: "I don't know what is in it. Your Majesty wants me to keep it. I have so much faith in it that I can't help but be moved... This morning, I was surprised to hear that His Majesty's personal conquest. I really... It's really hard to sit still..."

Yun Sujun's voice showed unconcealable concern, mixed with uncontrollable sobs, "I am worried about your majesty's body, she has suffered such a serious injury, and no one is taking care of her, why... why did you come to see me?" Empress Dowager, please put away this box, I'm going...to chase Your Majesty!"

Jing Yan's heart trembled when he heard that, Princess Anhe cared about Wuyou, how could he be less concerned?

Wuyou handed over such an important thing to Princess Anhe, in addition to trusting her heart, I am afraid that she also wants to tie down the princess and prevent her from going to the border to suffer, right?

At this moment, Jing Yan's heart is extremely contradictory: if it is out of love for Wuyou, she should send someone to escort An and Princess An to catch up; How can a weak woman go to the border to suffer?

Jing Yan was upset and couldn't think about it.Putting these things aside, there are more important things right now——

She took the wooden box from Yun Sujun's hand, and opened the seal under Yun Sujun's astonished gaze.

Jing Yan couldn't wait for the "critical moment", the "Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's consecration together", the "rules of the heavenly family", and the "court etiquette", fuck him!

The wooden box was opened, matching the exquisite carvings on the outside, and the decorations on the inside all proved its unusual origin.

Yun Sujun had no time to appreciate it, her eyes were all attracted by the things in the box——

The bright yellow Ling Jin lay quietly at the bottom, and on it lay a piece of warm jasper, with two seal characters faintly engraved on it.

Yun Sujun didn't see what those two words were, because Jing Yan had already held the jade in his palm.

She saw the queen mother's hands trembling involuntarily, and when she was shocked, she realized that the queen mother's eyes were already red.

Yun Sujun suddenly realized: That jade seems to be Ah Rui's personal possession.

She vaguely saw it when she was treating Yu Wenrui's wounds, especially the string of jade tassels, the weaving method was even more unique... Yu Wenrui's accessories seemed to be able to see the shadow of that method.

Yun Sujun understood: it all came from Jing Yan's handwriting.

In fact, the Queen Mother also cares about Ah Rui, right?Although, it is so difficult to see, but if you observe carefully, how can you not see the clues?

Jing Yan couldn't wait to take out the bright yellow Ling Jin lying at the bottom of the box.Sure enough, as she expected, it was an imperial decree, to be precise, it was an imperial edict.

At that moment, Jing Yan suddenly felt hatred: she hated Yu Wenrui for leaving like this, hated Yu Wenrui for throwing the huge world to herself.Ten years ago, she had already experienced that heart-wrenching pain. Now, that person, does she still want to experience it again?

Why?Why can she abandon herself so self-righteously?

Just because Jing Yan, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the wife of the first emperor, couldn't love her?

Just because she, Yu Wenrui, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the successor of the late emperor, wanted to prove that she was not inferior to the late emperor?

She thought in her heart that she was not inferior to the late emperor, so she thought she left behind a "edict to pass on the throne" in a thoughtful way?

She dared to do this, didn't she rely on her own care?Even, relying on himself to take away her virginity?

Jing Yan sneered.

Worry-free, worry-free, what do you want to compare with the late emperor?So what if you capture Beizheng?So what if you unified the world?Even if... you, like the late emperor, died on the road of personal conquest, so what?

After all, she is still your older sister; after all, without her passing on the throne back then, how would you be where you are today?

However, no matter how much he hates iron but not steel, Jing Yan still feels pain in his heart when he thinks of the word "death".

The word love does not mean that if you say "I don't love you", you will stop loving.

Seeing Jing Yan's changing expression, Yun Sujun was at a loss.

The queen mother seems to have completely fallen into her own world, and Yun Sujun couldn't get involved.Such a queen mother made her feel very strange.

Fortunately, the maid's report saved Yun Sujun from the siege.

"What's the matter?" Jing Yan came back to his senses.

"There's news from Zhilanxuan." Si Mo glanced at Jing Yan worriedly, and seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was still calm, he said, "It's Miss Yu... who's gone."

Jing Yan shook his hand and almost dropped the imperial decree in his hand——

That's good, the imperial edict to pass on the throne hasn't happened yet, and the prince has disappeared!

Today is the day when the Son of Heaven personally conscripts and dispatches troops. According to the usual practice, for the sake of the safety of the Son of Heaven, no one is allowed to stroll in the market from morning to night.The people in the capital are used to seeing big officials and big scenes, and they are all good at watching the wind direction. Who is okay to suffer from that bad luck?Therefore, even the usual street vendors and prosperous businesses all closed their doors on this day, and the wives and children kept warming at home.

In the evening, even the officers and soldiers on patrol and the officials maintaining law and order found warm places to eat and drink, and the streets became more and more quiet.

On a certain street, a small figure walked alone.The cold wind in late winter and early spring smothered the dust and blew on her flushed little face mercilessly.The unmelted snow on the ground has long since melted into a slippery ice surface. Her feet slipped and she raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from her face from time to time. She felt so sad for some reason.

The little girl tried her best to search her memory for the way she came, but she still lost her way.

She walked for a while, looking around in a daze, the street was empty, there was not even anyone to ask for directions.She didn't know that the city gate would be locked at night, and she was full of hope that she could find someone to ask the way.

Turning a corner, the little girl's eyes lit up, she didn't care about being sad, and ran a few steps.

"Mother-in-law..." she opened her mouth tentatively.

That person is a woman, with white hair and pale complexion, but fortunately she has a very good-looking face, which can be said to be very good-looking, and she does not look old.The clothes on her body were scratched in several places, and she still looked a little dusty. She raised her head in a daze, and followed the little girl's voice.

"Mother-in-law," the little girl thought she didn't look like a bad person, and asked reassuringly, "Do you know... how to get to Beizheng?"

The white-haired woman looked bewildered, as if she didn't understand at first, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "You, ask, the way?"

Her voice was very mechanical, as if she had just learned to speak, jumping out word by word.

The little girl was stunned, looked at her pale face, and asked concerned: "Mother-in-law, are you sick?"

The white-haired woman didn't answer, but just looked at her stupidly.

"Mother-in-law?"

"be lost?"

The little girl nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, I'm lost."

The white-haired woman looked at her again bewilderedly.

The little girl was stunned.

"Little sister, lost your way? Ask brother me!" A few rogues appeared out of nowhere.

There is nothing to be ripped off in the market today, and Hooligan also wants to make a living.The few of them were wandering in the empty street, staring at the shining pure gold pendant on the little girl's head from a distance.

Look at this little girl, she is not very old, she is not small, her clothes are also expensive, and the accessories on her body are not to mention.Most importantly, she was alone.

After observing for a while, the rogues found that there were no other followers around, so they became more courageous and gathered together, planning that today's "harvest" would fall on this little girl.

Although the little girl was young, she was very knowledgeable. She looked up and down at the few rogues, raised her chin, and snorted disdainfully, "Where did Xiaoxiao come from?"

Several rogues laughed out loud when they saw her talking like an adult, and a daring one reached out to touch the pure gold horn on her head, and said dirtyly: "Look at this With a small appearance, she will still be a stunning beauty after a few years... Ouch..."

It turned out that the little girl had already grabbed his arm, and in a blink of an eye, the man's arm was dislocated, screaming in pain.

"So it's someone who knows martial arts!"

"Brothers go together!"

A few rogues shamelessly surrounded an eight-nine-year-old girl, trying to grab her.

Suddenly, two figures flashed past, and then a few rogues were knocked to the ground, moaning in pain.

"A few old men bullied a little girl, are you shameless? Get out of here!" A rather fierce-looking man among the two yelled at the rogues.

The hooligans knew that they had encountered a stubble, and they scrambled to get out.

"Little girl, are you okay?" the two men asked.

The little girl saw their skills of rabbit ups and downs, and thought to herself that this is a master of the rivers and lakes, right?She suddenly felt envious and admiring, and clasped her fists in a dignified manner: "Thank you two strong men for your help!"

The two men almost burst out laughing when they saw her young adult appearance.Just as he was about to say a few words of politeness, one of them, who was fairly handsome, suddenly caught a glimpse of the jade pendant with dragon cloud pattern hanging on the little girl's belt, and was shocked.

He looked at the little girl's face, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he looked like his master when he was a teenager, and even his voice trembled, "Little girl, you...what's your name?"

The little girl was about to say "My name is Jixiang", when she rolled her eyes, she wondered why this uncle has such a weird expression?Could it be that the bad guys from Beizheng who killed my father came to rescue me?Can't be fooled!

She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

The other rough man couldn't help but look at her, and said in his mouth, "You really are the little master?"

He has a flamboyant temper, he does whatever he thinks in his heart, he couldn't help clasping Jixiang's little shoulders with his big hands, and said anxiously: "Your name is..."

Before the words fell, a strong palm wind hit.

The rough man jumped away subconsciously.

"Who dares to plot against me!" He bristled with anger.

After seeing the person who attacked him clearly, he and his companions were stunned: "He...Master He?"

He Chong withdrew his palm, and didn't care about talking to them, he stepped away, cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, I found it."

At the same time, Jixiang also saw the elegant and dignified woman behind He Chong.

"Sister Fairy!" When she saw Jing Yan, the sadness of losing a loved one and the helplessness of being lost turned into a strong sense of grievance, and she threw herself into Jing Yan's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Seeing her small body trembling into a ball, Jing Yan's heart softened at first, so he hugged her tightly, unable to bear to be harsh.

"Why did you run out? Let the family members find it easier."

When Jixiang heard her say "family member", sniffing the pleasant smell on her body, feeling warm, she said aggrievedly: "I'm going to Beizheng! I'm going to avenge my father!"

Jing Yan was speechless.

Not to mention what little children can do, but how to get to Beizheng, child, I'm afraid you don't even know?

These days, how about "going to Beizheng" with all the big and small children?Jing Yan slandered silently.

At this moment, the white-haired woman who was curled up next to her like a wooden figure suddenly spoke, "Wen... Heron..."

Jing Yan seemed to have been pricked by a needle, she suddenly lowered her head, looked at the white-haired woman staring at her eagerly, thinking that she had just hallucinated.

"Wen Lu..." The white-haired woman's voice became clearer, and two streams of tears flooded her dry eyes, as if the land that had been dry for a hundred years was suddenly moistened.

She suddenly took half a step forward, hugged Jing Yan's forearm, and cried like a child.

He Chong: "..."

This old lady doesn't know the slightest bit of martial arts at first glance, so it's not easy for him to punch the old and weak, women and children, right?

Jing Yan was even more shocked than him: Wen Lu was her mother's boudoir name.How did this strange woman know?Or, just a coincidence?

Is it really a coincidence?

Although Jing Yan lost her mother when she was young, she still remembers clearly that her father once said that she looks like her mother when she was young.
