Qing Yan

into the night.

On the ridge of the Chonghua Palace, a Shaohua girl is riding.

The corners of her plain five-dragon casual clothes flutter slowly with the breeze, like a chick that has just learned to fly, wanting to break free from all the shackles of this world and soar in the blue sky and clear water, but let it No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break free from that fetter.

Yu Wenrui raised his small face and stared at the full moon in the sky obsessively——

Bright and round, just like the most beautiful person in her heart, and the most beautiful dream.

On the top of the Chonghua Palace, everything can be seen more clearly than elsewhere, however, after all, there are many obstacles that may be real or virtual, hidden or obvious.

She is already 15 and a half years old, and her naive appearance is gradually getting away from her. The beautiful curves of a girl, from the face to the body, are beginning to be seen.She was born in a very good condition, her skin is not purely smooth and fair like that of a boudoir girl, but a healthy light wheat color, which makes her more heroic that ordinary women don't have.

The pure and clear radiance sprinkled by the white ice wheel projected on her raised wrists, more like coating her whole body with a layer of light gold, looking from a distance, she looked different from the mortal world.

Yu Wenrui's slender fingers slid across the shaft of the arrow in his palm, and finally landed on the cluster of arrows——

Four edges, shallow grooves, the sharpest part is faintly chilling under the moonlight.

This arrow is exactly the one that Yang Min passed through the little servant's hat last night; from the beginning to the end, it is no different from the one that killed the imperial brother Yu Wenzhe she saw when she was a child.

It has been seven years!

Yu Wenrui remembers clearly that seven years ago, he swore to his sister-in-law: The murderer who killed the emperor's brother must be caught!I must avenge my brother!I must never make my sister-in-law sad again!

However, at the moment, she has not done any of these three things.

She begged A Sao to let Yang Min go.It is true that she has other plans in her heart, she also believes in Sister Min's character, and she knows how guilty Sister Min feels towards Brother Huang, and she wished to die at her own hands in order to be relieved.

But, after all, she let go of this "husband-killing enemy" in front of sister-in-law!

At that time, sister-in-law said: "The emperor really wants to do this?"

Sao said, "The emperor really has other plans?"

Sister-in-law said: "The emperor knows, what has this person done?"

A-sao threw the arrow in front of her face, she didn't say anything, nor did she show any expression.

Yu Wenrui understands.

She understood that sister-in-law was questioning herself——

Worry-free, have you forgotten this arrow?

Wuyou, have you forgotten the revenge of killing your brother?

Wuyou, don't you really know that this person killed your imperial brother with the same arrow?

She is the emperor, the most honorable person in the Great Zhou Empire that has already been in charge.

Even her sister-in-law, who raised her personally, has to worry about her emperor's dignity in front of her subjects.

Yu Wenrui knew that Sister-in-law was protecting her own face, an emperor's and self-willed face; but what A-sao was paying was a wounded heart.

Jing Yan didn't wait for her answer at all, and just said "It's good that the emperor knows what he's doing", before turning around and leaving.

At that moment, Yu Wenrui felt that that graceful figure and that delicate waist were extremely lonely and desolate.

Facing the moonlight, Yu Wenrui looked at the arrow in her palm, and she wondered about what A-sao was thinking.

Sister-in-law must think that she is selfish, right?

good.It is selfishness.

However, what does this selfishness look like in A Sao's eyes?

Did he think that he fell in love with Sister Min and couldn't bear to hurt her life?Or, sister-in-law would think that, on the condition that she didn't kill her, she made elder sister Min an eyeliner in Beizheng for her own use?

Yuwen Rui clenched the arrow shaft tightly.

To avenge my brother is the most moral thing.

The word "morality" is a word she yearns for since she was a child, and she still respects it now.

However, after she grew up, she realized at this time: entangled personnel and affairs, mottled and messy human hearts, no matter what, they are much more complicated than the pure but almost colorless "morality".

She is only 15 years old, and her heart is so complicated that she dare not face it honestly.

Ever since he was in the cave, after hearing the story of "the emperor's brother turned into an emperor's sister", Yu Wenrui really wanted to pull his sister-in-law and ask her: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

She has been concealed for seven years, and the mother and sister-in-law still plan to keep concealing it from themselves.Only then did Yu Wenrui know that he was the second female emperor of the Great Zhou?Before her, her brother Huang, no, sister Huang, had already practiced it.However, as a man.

The long-standing doubts were thus revealed.

Yu Wenrui's ecstasy when he first confirmed that the emperor's brother is a woman is gradually replaced by a deeper level of worry: if the emperor's brother is a woman, will sister-in-law like herself as a woman?Could it be that because she is also the empress, sister-in-law will turn all her thoughts on the emperor's brother to herself?Could it be that old scholars are talking about things like "Once the sea was too difficult for water" and "Ten years of life and death are boundless"?

The more Yu Wenrui thought about it, the more he felt that his future was bleak.

Shen Quan didn't have her elegant thought of sighing at the moon, his heart was on fire!

This ancestor has been sitting on the ridge of the hall for more than an hour!

She is the emperor, this country is hers, who dares to really care about where she wants to sit?

But Shen Quan has been in the palace for more than ten years, and among those who have heard and seen it, they have never seen any emperor who has played like this!

If the officials outside the palace know about this, let the empress dowager know about it, why don't you blame yourself for not teaching the emperor to learn well?Didn't you break your own leg?

Shen Quan stared eagerly at the figures on the roof of the hall, but he didn't dare to yell loudly to lose his dignity, even if he yelled, he didn't know the slightest bit of martial arts, how far could his voice travel?

He had no choice but to wait below with the emperor's guard of honor, but in fact he was like ants on a hot pot, wishing he could turn the mill on the spot.

Finally he hoped for a savior, He Chong searched around the palace, and found the emperor here.

At first sight of the plain white robe skirt dancing with the breeze on the top of the hall, He Chong was startled: Your Majesty is not looking for short-sightedness, is it?

He was then annoyed by his rambling thoughts.

"Eunuch Shen, this is..." He Chong was confused for a moment.

Shen Quanquan pretended to be calm, and he was full of old gods, "Oh, Mr. He! You ask our majesty? Isn't it, watching the moon!"

Appreciate...appreciate the moon!

The corner of He Chong's mouth twitched slightly: Alright, watch the moon.Your Majesty is very pleased...

He didn't have Shen Quan's patience, so he simply raised his face to Yu Wenrui's direction, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty He Chong!"

After all, bow and salute.

Yu Wenrui's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by him, and he frowned impatiently: "If you have something to say, I can hear you!"

He Chong simply ignored her childish complaints, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the assassin incident last night?"

Yu Wenrui became more and more impatient: "Four died on the spot, and one died after you caught it, what a fart it is to deal with it!"

Isn't there another one that you let go?He Chong couldn't help but slander.

But the emperor was obviously in a bad mood, so he couldn't make trouble, so he said again: "When I just entered the palace, I saw the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the commander of the imperial guards, and Jing Zhaoyin all kneeling outside the palace to plead guilty! You see ..."

When Yu Wenrui thought about what happened last night, he felt even more annoyed. With one leg, he floated and jumped off the ridge of the hall to the ground.

"It's not that they sent people to assassinate me, so don't kneel there and block your eyes!" She took a few steps forward, stopped suddenly, and thought for a while, "The imperial guards and the guards of Jingzhaoyin's yamen have loopholes, and each will be punished." For half a year, go home and think about the past! As for the Ministry of Punishment, it will be punished for three months, and let them check the origins of those assassins for me, and report them in secret!"

Shen Quan memorized them all.

But He Chong bent his legs and wanted to bow down: "The crime of negligence of the minister's guard..."

Yu Wenrui knew that what he was talking about was that, as the chief guard of the inner court, the assassin actually shot an arrow in front of the emperor.She lifted He Chong up: "Stop talking with me here!"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and asked again: "Have you done what I ordered you outside the city?"

He Chong froze, knowing that she was referring to the matter of "letting the assassins go" during the day, so he hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! If this matter gets out, you are the only one to ask!"

Yu Wenrui was slightly relieved.In this case, as long as the details are not detected, Yang Lie will not know that Sister Min tipped him off and was temporarily let go.In this way, she and her mother are not in danger of their lives for the time being.

Why!Thinking about one day in the future, I will have to touch sister Min with my own hands... how sad it is!

"The Empress Dowager is still in Fengxian Hall?" Yu Wenrui called Shen Quan and asked.

Finally, Shen Quan hoped that she would come down, and hurriedly said courteously, "Here she is!"

Since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace during the day, she entered the Fengxian Hall, and even the accompanying attendants Bingbi, Shimo, and Shen Cheng, who was in charge of Kuntai Palace affairs, were ordered to "serve outside the palace".

Yu Wenrui went to visit worriedly, but was also turned away.

Shen Quan didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to express the slightest intention to inquire about the whereabouts of the masters. He answered whatever Yu Wenrui asked.

Yu Wenrui felt even more uneasy when he heard this.She knew that sister-in-law blamed herself, but no matter how much she complained, she shouldn't torture her body!Lunch and dinner are both left untouched, what kind of trouble is this?

She felt apprehensive and distressed, and strode straight to Fengxian Hall with strides.

When the people waiting outside the door saw her appear, they were all relieved: the one in the hall ordered no one to enter, they didn't have the guts to stand up to the wind.But going on like this is not an option.According to this, after another half an hour, if the emperor does not come, they are really going to invite the Empress Dowager and her old man to make the decision.

Yu Wenrui arrived at the door of the main hall in a short time, without any fuss, he pushed the door and went straight in.

The scene in front of her made her feel even more sour——

In the dark main hall of Fengxian Hall, there is not a trace of light, except for the pale moonlight projected through the window lattice, there are only two candles faintly lit on the incense table in front of the divine master of the late emperor Yuwenzhe, but they also seem to be left in the wind. The candle seemed to be extinguished suddenly without knowing when.

On the futon in front of the incense table, there is a beautiful figure kneeling alone, as if abandoned by the whole world.

Yu Wenrui was greatly mourned, and quickly ran to Jing Yan's side, and said sadly, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Jing Yan suddenly heard her voice, and suddenly came back to his senses. His spine, which had been numb from kneeling for a long time, suddenly straightened, his pale cheeks with tear stains were still cold, and his voice was even more chilling: "What does the emperor do?"

"I..." Yuwen Rui concluded.

She knew what sister-in-law was referring to, but she couldn't say anything.Those thoughts about what to say and what not to say came up all at once, which made her feel even more irritable.

"Does Sister-in-law think that I have selfish intentions in not arresting the female assassin? Sister-in-law, in fact, I..."

But Jing Yan robbed her mercilessly: "The emperor is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, with golden words, the Ai family dare not say anything!"

Yu Wenrui's breath was stuffed in his chest, he couldn't get it out, he couldn't swallow it.

She stared at Jing Yan's slender body, felt distressed, and said in a soft voice: "No matter what, sister-in-law should eat some food! Don't worry, sister-in-law, Wuyou will definitely avenge brother Huang!"

Jing Yan laughed suddenly, a sad smile with tears in his smile, "Aijia knows Aijia's body... It's late at night, the emperor please move away!"

You also know it's late at night?It's late at night, and you're still kneeling in this cold hall?Are you torturing me, or are you torturing yourself?

Yu Wenrui stood there blankly, she really wanted to simply pick up A-sao's body, take her away by force, make her eat and let her rest.However, this is Fengxian Hall, not a place where she can do whatever she wants.Besides——

Her imperial brother, no, imperial sister, is watching them from above her head!

She stared at Yu Wenzhe's portrait in a daze, and then said mechanically after a long while, "Sister-in-law, don't you have anything to tell me about... Brother Huang?"

Jing Yan's body trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "You go. Aijia is tired..."

Yu Wenrui felt more and more uncomfortable.She looked at Yu Wenzhe, and Yu Wenzhe seemed to be looking at her too.

She fantasized, if the emperor brother could see her side before he died, would he entrust her with something?Will he entrust everything other than Jiangshan to himself?For example... Sister-in-law?

Brother Huang, you also love Sister-in-law deeply, right?Does she also hope that sister-in-law can live well in the world and enjoy the beauty that she has not enjoyed?

The more Yu Wenrui thought about it, the more sad he became, "I will offer a stick of incense to Brother Huang."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to the incense table and wanted to take the incense on it, but was nailed in place by Jing Yan's cold words——

"When will you avenge her, it's not too late!"

In an instant, Yu Wenrui felt sad: suddenly he felt that the world was vast, and there was nothing to rely on.The dream she had been chasing was so far away from her at this moment.

However, between her and her sister-in-law, there is more than just one person and a relationship?
