Half-dead paulownia

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow falls, the woods are overcast, and the singing sounds up and down. Layers of darkness gradually cover the sky and the earth, with shadows floating and sparse shadows swaying.

A figure in the cold wind has always stood in this dark woods, and the despairing eyes under the night suddenly lost their luster, and there was a dead silence.

"Ye Lan, wait for the matter to be settled. As a repayment to you, no matter where you go, I will grow old with you." "Ye Lan, wait for me here, and I will take you away before sunset." , to make up for those broken thoughts in the past." "I'll wait for you, I will always wait for you."

A sentence lingered in my ears, and scenes of memories emerged in my mind, like a lost child who couldn't find his way home, his face was full of helplessness and sadness.

Suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes running towards him in front of him, the flash of his eyes was like any sparkle in this world, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

But when she saw the person in front of her, Ye Lan finally lost her last hope, and saw that the person riding the horse was actually Anling Yuhao, and behind her was the familiar figure.

"Ye Lan???" An Ling Yuhao stopped in front of Ye Lan, and carefully moved the people behind him off the horse.

Although Ye Lan had made all the preparations, when she saw Duguao who had already lost all breath, she still destroyed his will after all.

Under the faint moonlight, Duguao's face became whiter and fairer, but it was crystal clear like a piece of flawless jasper, and the blood stains on his body had already dried up, taking away the warm breath.

"The moment I arrived, he and Luo Shengchuan were already lying in a pool of blood." Anling Yuhao looked at the quiet and abnormal Ye Lan, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The breath of the last struggle, he just said 'forest', So I guessed it might be this place."

Ye Lan just stared blankly at Duguao, everything was strangely peaceful, but she suddenly got up, slowly picked him up, and left silently without saying a word.

Anling Yuhao anxiously wanted to stop him, but he shook his head helplessly, allowing the two of them to disappear into the night.

Such a result was never expected by Anling Yuhao. Duguao was also looking for Luo Shengchuan, and he was one step ahead of him. Thinking about the encounter between the two, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and regretful. After all, Duguao His character still makes me admirable, but it's a pity that he died so young.

Life and death are impermanent, this is Anling Yuhao's painful realization recently, but he suddenly thought of the fifth master who has always been by Duguao's side, why has he never met him who has always been inseparable?He is the most loyal general, I am afraid that if he knows the news, how will he face it?

(Anling Imperial City)

Inside and outside the imperial city, there was a quiet, white silk cloth flying all over the sky, waving wantonly against the cold wind.

From that night onwards, Anling Yuhao never saw Ye Lan again. Perhaps this painful blow has long been too late for him to bear, and now he can only wait for his trace. If he sees through everything, he will still show up eventually. Hide yourself in grief, fall into that dark night.

From the moment Anling Mingcheng left, An Ruo seemed to be a different person, sitting in the ancestral hall all day long, eating fast and chanting Buddha, although not as bright as before, but still as calm as water, except for Anling Yuhao who usually Visiting here, and basically no longer interacting with anyone.

It seems that everything has returned to calm. Despite such a deep sorrow, he can't indulge too much. To be the emperor of the capital of Anling and to benefit the people of the world is what he has to undertake.

"Liu Meng, a few days ago you said that the imperial concubine is in Huanzhao Kingdom?" An Ling Yuhao suddenly asked thoughtfully. "But why didn't she return to our imperial city?"

In fact, Anling Yuhao is not the only one who doesn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, Liu Meng is also surprised by this matter. It is said that the imperial concubine left with the little prince, and according to the little prince's recollection, he was to save the concubine. And fell to the bottom of the cliff, but Zhao Shuncheng was also injured at that time, so if the imperial concubine had the ability to return to Huanzhao, why didn't she return to the capital of Anling, and didn't inform everyone about the disappearance of the little prince? Woolen cloth?

And Liu Meng knew that the imperial concubine was in Huanzhao Kingdom, not because they voluntarily said it, but because Huanzhao Kingdom sent envoys to mourn the emperor, the news was inadvertently revealed.

"Little Huang??? To report to the Emperor, since they are deliberately concealing it like this, maybe there is some secret?" Liu Meng is obviously not used to this title.

"Why did you become the same as before? I told you a long time ago not to pay attention to these red tapes." An Ling Yuhao was a little dissatisfied with Liu Meng's change of words just now, but he also said immediately: "Can there be any secrets? Ling Zi Rather be my concubine, doesn't he care about my situation at all?"

"Your majesty, please forgive me. You and the imperial concubine are indeed a well-known husband and wife. Now she should be promoted to empress, but between you..." Liu Meng said with some hesitation.

Anling Yuhao looked at Liu Meng with some puzzlement, as if he couldn't understand him at all, "Is there any problem between us?"

"It's okay??? No problem, the imperial concubine's infatuation with you can be learned from all over the world." Liu Meng had to admit that Ling Zining's love for Anling Yuhao was absolutely warm and deep.

"Then I love her in every possible way, right? Otherwise, why would I be willing to sacrifice myself in order to save her? But such a tender and beautiful woman, who in the world would not like it?" An Ling Yuhao seemed to have a somewhat intoxicated expression.

Liu Meng could only remain silent at the moment, he didn't know how to continue this topic, and he didn't know whether he should bring up Xiao Jinmo, seeing the only relaxed expression that Anling Yuhao had shown these days, how could he bear to disturb his mood? ?

If Xiao Jinmo will never be remembered, instead of letting him know that it will be even more painful, it is better to make a mistake and start over with the imperial concubine. After all, he is no longer that wayward prince, but the emperor of Anling Kingdom. He needs to be stable. Stay with Chao Gang and keep your tongue shut, otherwise it will be another disaster.

But it seems that this is very unfair to Xiao Jinmo. From the perspective of emotion and reason, Liu Meng is really in a dilemma.

"What does the emperor mean?" Liu Meng asked tentatively, wanting to know what he meant.

Anling Yuhao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Tomorrow we will take her back in a dignified manner, make her queen, and be my mother to the world."

Liu Meng looked at Anling Yuhao's firm expression, and didn't continue to ask too many questions, and could only stand beside him silently.

(Jubin Court)

The moon and stars are sparse, and the night is bright and bright, but it is no match for the bright lights of the imperial city, making the entire imperial city as dazzling as day.

"Xiao Jinmo, it is said that he already knows the whereabouts of the imperial concubine, and will welcome her back to the palace tomorrow and make her a queen." Guiyue leaned against the railing, watching the sparkling water of the lake, but there were also bursts of white light reflected on the face.

"Well, I should have found her long ago. Although a country cannot live without a king, I also think that a country cannot live without a mother. Besides, he has become the emperor of Anling Kingdom now." Xiao Jinmo seemed to have a look on his face. It doesn't matter, there is no displeasure at all.

"You really don't care at all?" Guiyue said in an unbelievable tone, "You have to tell me the truth." Then he added.

Xiao Jinmo couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "We owe Ling Zining too much, so God is fair." Although he didn't answer Guiyue's question directly, there was a trace of melancholy in his brows.

"You must be so stubborn." Guiyue stood up, looked at Xiao Jinmo in front of her, and couldn't help but sighed, "How long are you going to sit here?"

"I want to be alone for a while, but actually I can't see clearly some things." Xiao Jinmo looked at the reflection in the lake, "Sometimes the image that seems real is just a reflection and cannot withstand any waves , it will be instantly shattered."

How could Guiyue not understand Xiao Jinmo's depression, not just because of Anling Yuhao's matter, when he knew that Duguao had died, the sadness in his eyes was enough to fill everything, although he didn't understand Xiao Jinmo's What is the feeling for Duguao?But even after knowing the fact that they were used by him, they still don't have any resentment or hatred. I'm afraid only they can experience this feeling.

"I'm really sleepy. Be careful when you're alone. Although the palace is heavily guarded, there are many masters in this world." Guiyue reminded him intentionally. He also knew to leave Xiao Jinmo alone in the night. Although he was in danger, he could also see his boredom, and he didn't want to disturb his heart that needed a moment of tranquility too much, so he had to decide to wait and see from a distance.

(Huanzhao Kingdom)

"Brother, do you mean that Anling Yuhao will come to Huanzhao Kingdom to pick me up in person tomorrow?" Ling Zining's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Original father meant to let you cultivate quietly at home alone, but I didn't expect that the news would be leaked." Ling Zhuoxi said in a regretful tone.

"What else did the envoy say?" Ling Zining seemed to be very eager to continue asking, but her expression was also a little nervous.

Ling Zhuoxi looked at her younger sister's flustered appearance, and couldn't help showing the same intriguing expression: "I heard that you are specially made queen, and the whole world celebrates." When hearing such words from the capital of Anling, Ling Zhuoxi herself felt a little displeased. I dare to believe that he knows the affairs between Anling Yuhao and Ling Zining best.

Originally, I thought that after becoming the emperor of Anling Kingdom, with his character, he would naturally have no scruples, and he would solve the things he didn't want one by one, and the first thing to bear the brunt was his marriage with his imperial sister, but now On the contrary, on the contrary, he still wanted to make a big noise about this matter, and let the world know how deep his relationship with the imperial sister is.

"Ning'er, if you don't want to..." Ling Zhuoxi was afraid that there was some conspiracy involved, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"I am willing." Before Ling Zhuoxi finished speaking, Ling Zining replied directly and affirmatively: "I know what my brother is worried about. No matter what happens, I will return to that place."

How can you know more about some things if you don't practice them yourself?Besides, there was no turning back, Ling Zining knew that she had to move forward firmly.
