Let me eat a soft meal

In the middle of the night, the palace change began at Xuanwu Gate, and a blood-stained memorial was sent into the palace by Tai'an himself.

Afterwards, bird whistles sounded everywhere, and the Imperial Forest Army was in full swing.

When the sky was twilight, the movement in the palace completely subsided.

Zhao An blew out the candles in Qianyuan Palace, and heard the sound of heavily armored footsteps outside. Zhao An bowed and stepped back to meet Commander Wei who had returned from the bloodbath. Commander Wei paused and looked at him questioningly.

Zhao An nodded, "Your Majesty has been approving the memorial all night, and has been waiting for news. Commander, go in quickly."

Commander Wei nodded and walked into the inner room. Zhao An raised his eyes and saw bloody footprints snaking in all the way in. He sighed "Sin", and turned to the shivering little eunuch to find something to clean.

The young new emperor, wearing a black dragon robe, leaned on the dragon chair casually with his face propped up and looked at the memorial in his hand. He didn't look up when he heard the movement. He knelt on the ground and waited for the order after he finished his ceremony, and then he closed the memorial. Putting it aside casually, he yawned lazily.

"That's all there is to say, there are too many things that rely on the old and sell the old in the court, and it makes me upset." After he finished speaking, he straightened his sleeves and asked, "Is it all executed?"

Commander Wei said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, all 3000 rebels fell to Xuanwumen."

"Where is the person?" Ye Xuan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his tone raised slightly, "Killed?"

"I don't dare." Commander Wei said, curling two fingers to his lips, and blew a long bird whistle.

After a while, the sound of footsteps rubbing against heavy armor came from outside, and two imperial guards came in pressing the embarrassed King Qi and threw him to the ground.

"Ye, Xuan!" King Qi threw himself on the ground, and raised his head viciously to stare at the new emperor on the dragon chair.

He was no longer what he looked like before, his clothes were messy and torn, the iron armor weapon outside had been forcibly ripped off, the jade crown was crooked, and the neat oblique cuts on the half-loose hair indicated that it had been cut with a knife.

Ye Xuan suddenly remembered what happened when he went to the Putuo Mountain Racecourse eight years ago, he smiled very lightly, and raised his chin slightly, "Fourth Brother always seems to be in such a mess."

King Qi frowned, not knowing what he meant, he staggered up from the ground, and snorted coldly, "Winning the king and defeating the bandit is because the king's skills are not as good as others. If you want to kill, you have to obey!"

"Okay, fourth brother has backbone." Ye Xuan sat up straight and applauded, and then ordered lightly in the next second, "Then kill him."

As soon as the words fell, no one moved in the arena, but they heard the iron whip coming through the air, wrapping King Qi's neck from top to bottom and strangled it hard. Amidst the ear-piercing rubbing sound of "stinging", the boy in black jumped off the beam , holding the handle of the nine-section whip tightly with his hand stretched above his head, his internal force sank to the bottom, hanging on it and slowly falling, while King Qi on the other side struggled and was hoisted up in the air.

The characteristic killing whip is shaped like a human spine, with fine barbed hooks on it, like the tail needles of a poisonous scorpion. When you throw it out and then tighten it, these hooks will dig into the skin and firmly grasp the flesh and blood inside. , When it is retracted, it will tear off finely divided flesh and blood, because the needle tip is small and hidden, and it does not have the ability to kill.

Pain and suffocation came one after another. King Qi grabbed the whip rolled up around his neck and used it so hard that his flesh was bloody.

It's only been a few minutes, and I'm already rolling my eyes, it's because there's more air out and less air in.

"Taian." Ye Xuan called out.

Tai'an paused for a moment, then let go of his hand, turned over steadily and landed on the ground with light steps.

King Qi hit the ground with a "bang", he was suffocated so badly that he didn't care about anything, he just grabbed the whip and pulled it, clutching the wound and coughing hard, the sound was more severe than the sound, as if he was going to tear his lungs He coughed up all the tears, and it took him a long time to stop.

King Qi raised his head, his red eyes stared fiercely at the person above him, and his voice was hoarse, "You, if you have the ability, kill me directly..."

"I think so too, but there are people who trade their lives for their lives, and I hope you live." Ye Xuan said, throwing the memorial he was looking at on the ground casually, "Xu Guogong sent someone to the palace in the middle of the night last night, just take a look." Bar."

King Qi's coughing gradually stopped. He stared at the memorial that had been scattered a little. His first reaction was that it was impossible. He was pale, his hands trembling, but when he saw half of it, he suddenly became furious and directly tore it apart.

"Impossible! Grandfather cannot betray me! Impossible! You are lying to me!" Qi Wang's eyes were about to split, and he let out a final roar like a dying beast. He rushed forward and wanted to kill Ye Xuan, but was caught. Commander Wei just pressed down on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Impossible, you lied to me. It can't be written by my grandfather. How could my grandfather betray me? Impossible! Ye Xuan! You are such a vicious trick!" He said incoherently, raised his head and laughed.

Outside, Zhao An hurried in with "Your Majesty" in his mouth, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xu hanged herself in the palace! Only this suicide note is left behind."

King Qi's laughter stopped abruptly. He rushed up and took the blank envelope away, shaking his hands several times before taking out the letter. A wintersweet is painted with red cinnabar, with little flower bones falling on the branches, ready to bloom, and the stamp on it is the name of Concubine Xu - Qingya.

He unfolded it, and there were a few lines of characters on it, not the lower case script that he learned later, but the cursive script with sharp strokes and vigorous momentum.

Before Xu Qingya entered the palace, she was also a well-known talented woman. She was brought up by Xu Guogong. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The hearty son of the Duke's Mansion, not the little lady who is waiting to be married.

It was only later that she entered the palace and became the side concubine Xu of the crown prince. After the death of the first emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne. She entered the palace as the fourth concubine and was named Shu.People in the world only know Concubine Xu's concubine who wrote poorly in lower script, but they forgot that Xu Qingya's cursive script is extraordinary.

King Qi's calligraphy was taught by Concubine Shu. Although he only got the shape without meaning, he could recognize it. Few people in the world can imitate this calligraphy.

On it was a not-so-good "Sauvignon Blanc" swaying freely and freely.

[The wind is like a knife, the night is like sorrow, the beacon fire and the smoke are urging the palace, and the chess game is over.The moon is like a hook, and the lamp is like a bean. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and his life will last until the spring and autumn. ——Xu Qingya]

Several members of the Xu family paid off all their crimes with their lives, in exchange for King Qi's life.

Ye Yu knelt down on the ground in a daze, holding the scented letter paper, drop by drop of water fell on the paper, smearing the vigorous and free handwriting on it.The morning light came in through the window, dappled on the ground, and fell on his face.

Finally, the tall man in a mess clutched the letter tightly, the pain that melted into his bones and blood spread to his limbs, he bent down deeply as if he couldn't bear it, and the silence in the room could only hear the whimpering of his cub.

……

Ye Xuan didn't sleep all night, after Zhao An tidied up the Qianyuan Palace, he lay on the dragon bed, looked at the white gauze tent, obviously tired, but couldn't close his eyes and fall asleep.

Feng Yue's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she stretched out her hands and tilted her head, calling him, "Brother?"

The baby's voice was still in my ears, and I was angry when I didn't get a response. The calm voice was fierce, and I raised the volume, "Brother!"

Ye Xuan reacted abruptly, "Xiaoyue?"

Xie Yushu, who was dressed in normal clothes, poked his head out from behind Feng Yue and saw that he was sitting up, so he put the child in his arms and sat down on the dragon bed casually, "What's the matter? I just called you several times and I didn't answer. I thought you fell asleep with your eyes open."

Ye Xuan bent his lips to save face, put Fengyue who was pestered by him on the dragon bed, patted his butt, and said solemnly, "You are already four years old, you can't keep pestering brother. "

Feng Yue was a little angry, and the five short dolls jumped up from the bed, crossed their hips and reprimanded angrily, "Yueyue didn't pester brother, it was because brother didn't go to see Yueyue, Yueyue came to see brother, brother ignored me, uncle said , this is uneducated!"

"I didn't, what can you do to me?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile.

Xie Yushu patted him helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Feng Yue is still young, as a brother, you should teach him by example, how can you say such things."

"That's right! Big brother is thick-skinned!" Feng Yue immediately seemed to have a backbone, pinching her waist and neck so that she would be lifted into the sky, pointing her nostrils at him.

Ye Xuan reached out and pinched his nose.

Feng Yue immediately failed, and tried to break free with all his hands and feet, but with his small arms and legs, he was doomed to fail. Tears of anger overflowed his big eyes in an instant, and tears came from his mouth. Choked cry.

"Ye Xuan!" Xie Yushu took the child back into his arms, and his phoenix eyes shot him a look, "Feng Yue is still young, don't bully him."

"Xu Sui is five years old, not too young." Ye Xuan leaned on the dragon bed with his chest folded, and said very unlovingly, "His cousin can pick up a short knife at this time."

Feng Yue has only one cousin, and that is Li Tai'an.

Xiao Fengyue's eyes widened when she heard the words, and she shouted angrily, "That's brother Tai'an too, brother, you knew nothing when you were five years old."

"Who said I can't do it anymore?" Seeing Xie Yushu's helpless expression, Ye Xuan wanted to continue teasing her, but suddenly stopped when she opened her mouth, and the face of Concubine Liang suddenly appeared in her mind.

He started to remember things when he was about four to five years old. During that time, Concubine Liang lost power. Although she was emotionally unstable and shed tears all day long, it was still normal. He ate three meals a day in Chenjiao Hall , although I wonder why the food is getting worse and worse, but I have never been picky.

Until Concubine Yue entered the palace and was favored, Concubine Liang didn't know what happened, she suddenly went crazy.

She would suddenly take out the scissors and cut off the embroidery that had already been embroidered, she would cry and drop the mirror, she would suddenly overturn the table while eating, and the fragments of the glass bowl accidentally scratched Ye Xuan's hand, and the long Together, a lot of blood came out.

Stimulated by blood, Concubine Liang suddenly woke up, cried and hugged him and said sorry, carried him to the imperial hospital, cleaned the wound and bandaged it, and that night, the emperor came.

It seemed to be a switch. From then on, as long as the concubine Liang went crazy, Ye Xuan would be injured. He fell into the pool for nine days and was scalded by the hot soup... Ye Xuan couldn't remember how many times he was injured. I don't know when I started, from being afraid to cry, to gradually becoming numb.

Bad memories invaded his mind, Ye Xuan pursed his lips and raised his brows in displeasure.

Xie Yushu was taken aback, feeling that he was in a bad mood, and grabbed his hand, "Your Majesty?"

The hand stretched out was slender and fair, with slender fingers. Ye Xuan raised his eyes. The man in front of him was beautiful and exquisite. The red mole at the end of his eyes was like the icing on the cake, which made people unforgettable at a glance.

Just like the boy who flew to catch him seven years ago, like the boy who pulled him back from hell to the world with an umbrella on a rainy night.

He used to call him His Highness, but now he calls him His Majesty.

"Yu Shu, you called it wrong, you should be punished."

Ye Xuan turned against the guest and grabbed his wrist, muttering in his mouth, and suddenly jumped up, in Fengyue's perplexed "brother" call, Xie Yushu, who realized it, blushed and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.
