……

He couldn't bring this towering tree back to life, at least he could overthrow everything and start over.

After capturing Qingliu Pass, the southern army stayed here to rest and recuperate. It is a strategically dangerous place. There are many houses that can be used for rest, but almost all of them are poorly furnished. There are only four walls and one room for ordinary soldiers to rest at night. Top, a big seat.The room where the Southern Emperor lives has never been this far, but it has only some ordinary layout, there is not even an ice basin, and it is brightly lit by the light from the window.

Nan Di didn't seem to feel the heat.He sat back to his original place and asked, "Are you still able to walk?"

An Le Wang tried to lift his foot.

Nan Di: "Sit here." Saying that, he lifted his chin to the cushion opposite the chessboard.

King Anle did as he said.

The Southern Emperor pursed his lips, and seemed to sigh: "If you can find someone from Luoling, I can do it too... But the medicine you gave me is too vicious, if you don't return it, I feel sorry for myself."

King An Le didn't understand it for a while, so he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what to say at this time.

Nandi: "Why are you nervous? By the way, I called you here to ask you, since you have been demoted, what position do you want?"

King Anle's pupils shrank, and the drama came!

The Southern Emperor was almost straight to the point, but King Anle did not dare to follow suit.He thought for a moment, but he didn't dare to waste too much time. He tentatively said: "Sin..." a pause, "to see the beauty of the sky..." and another pause.

The Southern Emperor laughed, and King Anle said nothing.

Nan Di seemed to feel bored, so he said first: "Since you don't say anything, uh..." His voice was light and light, like a cat teasing a panicked mouse, "I see you are so powerless, Like a quiet girl..."

King An Le closed his eyes, indeed, he probably couldn't even pick up the chess pieces in front of him now.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Nan Di to say a word, and then opened his eyes, but what he saw was that the opponent was putting the pieces on the chessboard into the chess pot one by one.

Nan Di no longer had the teasing look on his face just now, his brows were slightly raised.

He said: "Two days later, Jiangcheng. You understand what I mean, but what you mean...I'll see if I need to understand."

King Anle listened carefully, and when the other party stopped talking, he replied without hesitation: "I will do my best."

Nan Di smiled with satisfaction.

"It's just," King An Le carefully considered his choice of words, "I'm afraid there may be some changes in Jiangcheng's deployment."

Nan Di looked at him, his brows and eyes reflected a little unreal light gold in the warm luster.

As soon as King Anle gritted his teeth, he simply stopped hesitating: just talk about the arrangement, but if there is a loss due to changes... don't blame me.

The corner of Nandi's lips curled up, but he didn't get angry, but said: "Of course..." He changed the subject, and asked him again: "Do you remember what this game of chess was like when you came in?"

King Anle's heart suddenly felt cold.

The Southern Emperor has already answered leisurely: "A dead end."

King An Le's heart sank little by little.He subconsciously wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he had lost his voice.

Until this moment, King An Le finally realized... From the beginning to the end, he was being led by the nose by Emperor Xuande in front of him.

As a warning.Tell him that since there is no way to recover, it is better to let go.

The Southern Emperor's tone was still calm, and he said: "I heard that the relationship between the three kings of Yan Kingdom is the best... I am very envious of my brothers' ties."

King An Le: "Your Majesty..."

Nan Di: "What?"

King An Le: "...there is no sand table in this room."

The Southern Emperor said "Huh" and said, "I thought that King An Le should have noticed it earlier."

King An Le said in a dejected tone, "Your Majesty never intended to believe me."

Nan Di smiled and said: "It should be so."

After coming out of the Southern Emperor's room, King Anle was not surprised to find that his vest was soaked through.

The residence arranged by the Southern Emperor was at the back of the center of Qingliu City.When he came here, he secretly remembered the way to Nandi's house, but he never thought that Nandi just picked a house at random to summon him.

He didn't know that after he left, the eunuch guarding the door entered the room and called "Prince" to the Southern Emperor whom he had just seen.

What An Deyi said was: "Your Majesty, over there..."

The man cast an triumphant glance at An, and said, "After An Le tells about Jiangcheng's defense, show Xia Yan the blueprint."

An Deyi complied with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

The man laughed softly, and said to himself: "Xia Yan... the genius of the sky."

Yan Kingdom, the imperial city.

Qiao Jinsheng's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his fingers were dug into his palms.When she realized it, the blood from her palm had mixed with Kodan on her nails.

They are all bright red.

Someone came to report before a stick of incense, saying that Mr. Ji seemed to be dying.She gave the death order, and if the imperial doctor can't save the living, she will go to the funeral!

She paced around the room for a long time, then stopped suddenly, and said these two words almost indifferently: "Ji Li..."

It was like a big gamble.She has lost too much, and today, Ji Li has become the biggest bargaining chip in her hand.

At least for now, he can't have an accident!

Qiao Jinsheng gritted her teeth: "Go to Jifu to announce Baixiao!" Since Baixiao claimed to be from Luoling, she must have some skills... She took a deep breath, thinking about the front line, she became restless again.

King An Le surrendered with all the troops she sent earlier, and she has privately ordered people to surround the mansions of Anshun and Anping, and if there is any change, they will be killed immediately!

But no matter how much she hated her fourth brother, the most urgent task at this moment is to find another person to lead the army!

What's more, when King An Le returns, there will always be some people who are unwilling to do so and become soldiers...

Summer is coming to an end, and autumn harvest is also a problem.

Qiao Jinsheng has never been so at a loss since he took the throne.She stomped her feet, and was about to urge people to go to Jifu again, when she heard a report from outside, saying: "Princess Zhaoyang is here——"

Qiao Jinsheng was taken aback.

Elder sister, since Duanning's assassination in the second year, she has never been in the administrative office.The reason, of course, is that I don't want to have another confrontation between the two, so I have various explicit hints.Then now?

...In any case, she really wanted to see each other.

Emperor Duanning's heart began to throb wildly.She couldn't help but think, maybe... it's a tacit understanding, right?

☆, splendid

Until the moment before seeing the Empress, Qiao Man told herself very frankly that she came here to see Qiao Jinsheng's jokes.

That is a matter of course.Even though she has hardly been involved in foreign affairs in recent months, Qiao Man can still feel the unusually tense atmosphere in the palace... as if the air has frozen.What's more, even if you don't deliberately inquire about major events such as the tight frontline and the surrender of King Anle, the news will still reach Qiao Man's ears.

Xia Qi was completely trapped, unable to get in from the outside, and unable to get out from the inside.Princess Zhaoyang felt quite regretful, that little girl was one of the rare people she could talk to in the palace.

Now, Qiao Man could hardly wait to see what Qiao Jinsheng's face would look like.

Qiao Jinsheng is innocent, but who is not?

She didn't expect that she would have such a strange feeling when she really saw that nominal cousin and actual real sister.

Qiao Jinsheng lost a lot of weight, and the blue-black color under his eyes was extremely dark, no matter how heavy the makeup was, he couldn't hide it.Seeing her, he still smiled and called, "Sister."

After that, Qiao Jinsheng always had bright eyes.The empress didn't mention that this place is an important place for government affairs, but only asked Qiao Man why she suddenly thought of visiting her, and complained in detail that she was too tired, and her wrists were so sore that she couldn't stop criticizing Zhezipi, and when she took a break occasionally, I can't even stretch my fingers.

When the words were about to finish, Qiao Jinsheng seemed to whisper something: "My hand still needs to take care of my sister..."

Qiao Man suppressed the discomfort in her heart and ignored the last sentence.She motioned for Rouhui who was following her to serve the golden blood swallow that had been boiled for a long time, and her voice slowed down: "How can the paperwork be finished? Let's take a rest first."

Qiao Jinsheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he smiled at Yanyan: "Does my sister love me?"

Qiao Man could see a forced smile on her face.

Princess Zhaoyang slightly pursed her lower lip, turned sideways, and said to Rou Hui: "...you go out."

The other party was the little maid who used to follow behind the female official Luzhu.After Rou Jia was promoted to the new female officer, Rou Hui also became the 081st chapter beside Princess Zhaoyang, but in the end, she said a word silently in her heart.

Sister... isn't your favorite one the one who is obedient and coquettish...?

A bowl of bird's nest was finally swallowed by Qiao Jinsheng.She even pushed aside government affairs, just because of Qiao Man's words.

"Is Jinsheng tired?"

"Um……"

"Here," the finger lightly touched the place under the opponent's eyes, "it's all like this."

"..."

"You said just now that I rested when I returned to Yongning Palace. Jinsheng, how do I remember that every time I wake up at night, I can't see you?"

"elder sister?"

"How long has it been since you slept?"

"elder sister……"

The bookcase fell to the ground with a loud crash, and Emperor Duanning's waist was in severe pain from the desk.

My sister is right, she is no longer a fifteen or sixteen year old girl, but so what?

Qiao Jinsheng bit the corner of Qiao Man's lips, the corners of her eyes turned red, and all the worries of recent days came to her heart in an instant.When she backed away, she looked at the other party. Her elder sister was beautiful, with slender and slender fingers... that was her favorite person.

But no matter how much you conceal it, you can't hide the rift between the two.

Qiao Jinsheng really wanted to tell the other party what he was embarrassing.She couldn't help thinking, if she really did that...would her sister comfort herself?She didn't want much, as long as her sister smiled gently at herself, that was enough.

Just like when the two first met so many years ago.

The time when my sister really cared about her, probably, was the day when she was boating in the lotus fragrance.

But she likes her so much, loves her so much...

"Jin Sheng?"

Qiao Jinsheng was in a daze, as if he heard someone calling his name.When she came back to her senses, she realized...

"Jinsheng, why are you crying?"

Qiao Man's eyes were very complicated. She pretended not to understand, raised her hand to wipe the water from the corner of the other's eyes, and asked, "Did I hurt you...?"

Qiao Jinsheng looked at the other person's expression, blinked his eyes, and tears rolled down again in an instant.

"Jinsheng..."

Qiao Man frowned slightly, as if hesitating for something.After a while, she said, "It's not just tired, is it?"

Qiao Jinsheng: "Sister... woo."

No one knew how much sincerity was cast in this crying, and how much was false.

At the end of crying, Qiao Jinsheng sobbed and said, "I really... don't know what to do."

Qiao Man removed her makeup for her.Princess Zhaoyang is obviously not good at this method, after doing it for a long time, the empress still has patches of rouge on her face.After being wet by water, it looks even more pitiful.

"It's become a little cat..." Qiao Man still pinched the tip of the Empress's nose, "I also made mistakes, so..."

She unbuttoned her collar, and when Qiao Jinsheng was holding her breath, she held Qiao Jinsheng's hand.

"Jinsheng, I have your name engraved on me..."

Qiao Man said, "It's okay, I'll be with you."

Qiao Jinsheng finally smiled.

After a few years, Emperor Duanning once again began to imagine the scene of his sister looming behind the screen when he was in court.She reluctantly regained her composure, spread out a page of paper, and said, "Sister, help me sharpen the ink?"

Qiao Man was very helpless: "Let me do this kind of thing?"

Qiao Jinsheng rolled his eyes: "Red sleeves add fragrance... right?"

While recalling, the empress slowly wrote the names of her subordinates on the paper.

People have to send, but she doesn't want to send out a surrendered general anymore.After Qingliu Pass is Jiangcheng. She knows that Jiangcheng's guarding general is an old veteran.

It took too long for the news to pass between the two places. Maybe at this moment, Jiangcheng has already started a war...

She propped her chin up and slowly drew circles on the paper.

Even the prince of the Tian family has surrendered, and the rest, how can she believe it!

Qiao Jinsheng's heart was ruthless, but he still had an obedient look on his face.

At this moment, someone from the palace came to report that Master Ji had woken up.

It's just that the assassin's knife was poisoned, and the imperial doctor explained with difficulty: Master Ji will have to cultivate for several months before he can recover, and after that, it may be difficult to stand up.

Even the only capable and important minister who had to be used fell.

At a certain moment, Qiao Jinsheng felt in a trance, maybe this is... destiny.

She struggled day by day, and the only place where she could relax a little was Yongning Palace.Maybe my sister felt that she had too little time to go to Yongning Palace, so she began to visit her more and more frequently.

Qiao Jinsheng would still go to Ji's mansion in person when encountering matters that were difficult to decide.Ji Li's son, Ji Cheng, took care of his seriously injured father day and night, and he became increasingly haggard.

After all, Jiangcheng was lost, and the southern army set foot on more and more Dayan territory.The Southern Emperor is kind and always treats surrendered generals preferentially, and his skill in persuading them to surrender is even more top-notch.

For countless nights, Qiao Jinsheng felt that he shouldn't accept his fate.

So what if there is no one in the court?Time and time again, don't you hold on to it?

But Jiangshan lost more and more, and it was useless to send more people out. It was like replenishing soldiers for the enemy.

In a blink of an eye, another spring and autumn.

In the summer of the sixth year of Duanning, half of the country of Yan was taken into the hands of the Southern Army.

Changluo.

The water village in the south of the Yangtze River, which was visited by Emperor Yan during the Jingning period, is eerily quiet at this moment.People stay at home and lock doors and windows.

As early as five days ago, this place became the territory of the Southern Kingdom.

Maybe General Changluo felt that the situation was over, maybe it was because the Southern Emperor's skills in persuading surrender were indeed as good as the rumors said.

Or, just because of the general's surname.

After the opening of the city, the Southern Emperor really did not embarrass anyone, but only withdrew his weapons.But even if he didn't fight, all kinds of complicated things still made Nan Di take time out five days later to meet Chang Luo's guard.

After the meeting, the first thing Nan Di said was: "If I remember correctly, the general's real name is Li?"

The second sentence is: "The general's staff..." Nandi smiled, "Bai's surname is Bai?"

The guard was actually a member of the Li family who was burned by a fire that year.

At this moment, the man responded calmly, "...Your Majesty is wise."

He said: "My Li family is full of loyal ministers, and the elder brother is even the son-in-law of the Tian family. But I never thought that Emperor Yan was so cruel."

He said: "When I went out to study, I finally escaped. Changluo is located in the south of the Yangtze River. How could there be a fire for no reason? I knew something was wrong, so I changed my name and surname and returned to Changluo. As expected... the fire was caused by Emperor Yan. Ordered to let go."

He said: "Emperor Jingning is stupid, he listened to slander, and actually named some kind of empress dowager...Emperor Duanning is even more joyful and obsessed with sensuality... The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is so far, but she can't see it! Brother Bai was away a few years ago Traveling, wherever you go... such an imperial family, how can you teach people to be convinced?"

In the end, his words were choked with sobs: "When I was young, I was full of thoughts about being named on the gold list one day... Fortunately, that fire burned my foolish loyalty to Emperor Yan, and then I was able to open my eyes and face up to what I thought was true. , the majestic swallow..."

☆, splendid

The next city after Changluo is Beining.

Beining and Changluo are separated by a river, but they are not infected with the latter's gentle atmosphere at all.It is also here that the southern army has encountered a year-long chapter 082 here, and its strength is sufficient, far exceeding other cities.

Because of this, many soldiers who fought against the Southern Army were discussing in private after the first truce, saying that the Southern Army seemed to have changed something.

And the soldier Liu Hai went to meet just now is one of the few soldiers who has experienced the battle of Qingliu Pass and the previous battles.Xiaobing roughly estimated the time, and told Liu Hai uncertainly: "... until May last year, the southern thieves attacked very violently. But after May, the grass people always felt that the southern thieves..." pinched his thigh, and picked out the One description, "A lot of cunning! No, no, it should be said... It has become soft? By the way, the feeling of the battle of Qingliuguan is the most obvious!"

Liu Hai pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you mean, in the previous scene, the Southern Bandit...?"

Xiaobing nodded: "It's hardening! It's almost like two people directing it!" After thinking for a while, he added: "It's not so much hardening..." It's more appropriate to be firm with softness.

It looks fierce on the surface, but it is circuitous on the inside.

Liu Hai: "I see..."

Next, is the yes or no answer.

That night, Liu Hai boarded the tower.The night was so dark that he couldn't see where the enemy camped, but the spies had already reported that the southern bandits had retreated ten miles away.

suspicious!

Liu Hai said slowly in his heart, it's really suspicious...the only one commander of the Southern Bandits is their emperor!

But as a general, he is very clear that the style of an army is inseparable from the person who leads it.

Is it really possible for a person to have two major temperament changes in just over a year?

Or is it true that the Southern Thieves have two generals?

Beijing.

Since losing Changluo, Emperor Duanning has always been sick.

Changluo...that was the place where I swam the boat with my sister back then, and it was also the place in the south of the Yangtze River that my sister had dreamed of before.

That's it, lost?

Maybe it's because of too many blows in the past year, maybe it's because Changluo does have a special meaning to Qiao Jinsheng.Emperor Duanning could not afford to be sick, and he was mostly in a coma, and he was always unable to cheer up when he was awake. The little confidence he had built up in the late summer of the fifth year of Duanning had already fallen into dust.

The sick Emperor Duanning spent unknowingly longer in Yongning Palace during the day, and often the Empress and Princess Zhaoyang stayed on the bed together.Qiao Man was sitting on the head of the bed, Qiao Jinsheng was pillowing on her sister's leg, holding a booklet in her hand.After reading, often silent for a long time.

The empress was stunned for a while, and after she regained her senses, she whispered: "The Southern Army... is going to Beining."

Qiao Man frowned: "How far is Beining from the capital?"

Qiao Jinsheng still looked sleepy, and his tone didn't fluctuate too much: "Sister, don't you know? After Beining, there are Xihua, Lanjun, Xiaocheng, Qi'an..."

"Qian?" Qiao Man was startled.

Qiao Jinsheng's voice was a little erratic: "Yes, if you go further west from Qi'an, you will be the capital."

Qiao Man was silent for a while, and then asked: "The one who guards Beining is Liu Hai? I remember him. When I was young, I heard..." After a pause, "The man said that there were two famous generals in the Yan Army's Eastern Expedition, one was him, The other has gone."

It's a bone burial field.

Qiao Jinsheng chuckled: "Sister, how long do you think he can last?"

Qiao Man: "...Jin Sheng?"

Qiao Jinsheng: "Liu Hai is a stubborn old man. When I ascended the throne, he was one of the people who opposed him. His roots are too deep for me to dig, and I didn't dare to dig at that time... So I transferred him to Beining. That kind of place It is not easy to have the opportunity to go to war, and the distance from the capital is just right, so you can stare at him, and it also prevents him from going to the capital to make trouble... For so many years, I have forgotten him."

Qiao Man said no more.She intuitively felt that something was wrong with Qiao Jinsheng at the moment.

As for herself, Qiao Man thought, even if she had made up her mind a long time ago and even pushed it... When the country came to an end, she was still so disappointed.

But isn't it ridiculous to say this at this time?

Qiao Man changed her mind, laughed at herself, and comforted Qiao Jinsheng at the same time.He said in a soft voice: "Then I can feel more at ease. These old-fashioned people think that Jin Sheng cannot succeed... It is because Liu Hai is a conservative person that makes people feel more at ease." The implication is that since Old Antique If you don't make changes to others, you must be loyal to yourself and engrave your loyalty to the emperor in your bones.

Qiao Jinsheng was stunned: "It's really what my sister said."

Qiao Man shook her head, and her fingers slid gently through Qiao Jinsheng's hair.

What she said in her heart was: Isn't your wish, what you want to see the most, coming true soon?As for Qiao Jinsheng...

She lowered her head, snuggling up to her sister, looking a bit vulnerable.

This is the person who caused her to fall to this point. She knew that she was unwilling, but insisted on revealing the so-called truth... She would rather be deceived for the rest of her life!

This is Qiao Jinsheng who was raised by her alone.

Qiao Man thought, actually...Even so, maybe she never really hated her.

She heard herself ask: "Jinsheng..." Qiao Man considered her tone, "What if that day really comes? There is no Yan Kingdom, what should I do?"

Qiao Jinsheng seemed confused: "What is sister talking about?" She was alert and suddenly sober.

Qiao Jinsheng opened his eyes wide: "You mean...the country is broken...?"

Emperor Duanning was very worried.

The elder sister spread out a bleak future that she didn't want to think about before her eyes, almost forcing her to answer, what would she do if the day came when the army came under pressure?

But before she could get the answer, someone came to report that the sixth and eighth princesses of the late emperor had come to see her together.

Qiao Jinsheng suddenly remembered that there were her two older sisters in the palace.

But needless to say he was upset at the moment, Emperor Duanning subconsciously wanted to say no.In the end, Qiao Man stopped her and said to her thoughtfully, "They are coming at this time...Jinsheng, I won't go there."

Qiao Jinsheng blinked his eyes, extremely reluctant.Now you don't even have time to be tired of being with your sister?

It's hard to finish reading the booklet!

In the end, she did as Qiao Man said.

Both the sixth princess and the eighth princess are at an age where their youth is gone, and the beauty and grace in their bodies are exactly the same.Occasionally, a look at each other seems to be full of affection that outsiders cannot penetrate.

Qiao Jinsheng heard himself asking: "...you..." What are you here for?

My sister is in charge of palace affairs, even if it is the princess sent from the southern country, my sister doesn't treat me poorly.

The sixth princess asked straightforwardly but vaguely: "What are your plans, Your Majesty?"

Qiao Jinsheng frowned.

The sixth princess: "Your Majesty... We are grateful for your majesty's care for many years, but..."

Qiao Jinsheng thought, these words must have been spoken by those two people many times before.

The meaning of the Sixth Princess is very simple, Your Majesty, don't you have any plans?We do have some plans, but we still have to rely on His Majesty.

Qiao Jinsheng: "You..." Let's be straightforward.

This time, it was the eighth princess who spoke.

The eighth princess said: "We want to ask for a...retirement."

After saying the last two words, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.The two looked at each other again, stood up together, knelt down again, and saluted.

The meaning of the sixth princess and the eighth princess is that the mother clan of the two always has some spare power. Now that there is a lot of chaos outside, it is easy to buy two identities.

As for whether to implement it, it depends on whether Emperor Duanning is willing to let it go.

The sixth princess's implication is that let alone the fight for the heir apparent, the elder brother of the two has long since been threatened, so why would you not do it, Your Majesty?What to do is just an illusion that the two princesses have gone.

In this troubled time, outsiders will not have the opportunity to investigate how the two princesses died.It is also very simple to find the reason. Isn't it a good reason to worry about serious injuries and self-destruction when you are old?

Qiao Jinsheng couldn't help it anymore, and asked cryptically: It is also possible to pretend to be a court lady and escape from the palace when... why must it be now?

The sixth princess was terrified.

Qiao Jinsheng: "Hearing what you said, I think I've been clicked."

Perhaps Yan Guo has indeed come to an end.

The sixth princess remained silent, and the eighth princess stretched out her hand quietly.The sleeves of the two overlapped, obviously they were secretly talking about the song.

After a while, the sixth princess answered Emperor Duanning's question more cryptically.

She said that if she and Bamei were just sisters of ordinary people, they might not have any contact with each other after they got married.

Qiao Jinsheng deeply believed that the scene of the eighth princess embarrassing him was vivid in his memory.

She said that it was precisely because she was born in the emperor's family that she had to see through the turbulence beneath the peaceful surface.

Sixth Princess: "...if that's the case, there won't be such a relationship."

After seeing off the two real sisters, Qiao Jinsheng sat where he was, thinking for a long time.

Maybe they have a good idea?

The timing of the choice of the sixth princess and the eighth princess is very good.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the city of Beining was broken.This is the city that lasted the longest under the Southern Army's offensive. The three-month stalemate finally ended when the wind direction changed after the first chirping of geese.

Emperor Xuande responded with an eye for an eye, and when the east wind blew, he sprinkled the legendary medicinal powder from Luoling.

The medicine wasn't fatal, and it didn't even hurt anyone. It just made the soldiers of Yan State all over the city fall into a coma for three days.

Since then, no one can stop the momentum of the Southern Army's breaking through.

At the end of the sixth year of Duanning, the capital of Yan State was quietly falling with snowflakes.

Before the sky turned bright, the southern army was approaching the city. Hundreds of archers raised their bows together and shot a written letter of war against the city wall.

Princess Nanqi woke up from her sleep.The palace was in great chaos, countless court ladies and eunuchs were vying for all kinds of furnishings in the palace, and then ran out of the palace together.

Xia Qi was dressed by the maid of honor, and then looked out the window.

"Caiyi..."

"Caiyi, tell me... the one who kills me comes first, or the one who saves me comes first?"

☆, splendid

Xia Qi was worrying too much.

Maybe Emperor Duanning forgot that there was a princess from the southern kingdom in Yan Palace, maybe she remembered and sent someone, but not as fast as the boy in white.

The boy in white held one in each hand, and jumped easily on the eaves.Xia Qi closed her eyes tightly at first in fright, but she couldn't help but open them secretly to see the frost on the ground.

At the end, she was a little discouraged. She has been in Yan Palace for five years, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she has never seen the scenery of the four seasons south of Luoling.

The white-clothed boy still has time to speak at this moment: "Although it can be later, but," after a pause, "Your brother is afraid that you will have an accident."

Caiyi said "Huh", Xia Qi blinked her eyes: "The snow has stopped..."

But it was still dark.

The vermilion palace wall is close at hand, Xia Qi always feels that maybe in the next moment, a few court ladies will walk out around the corner.If it is summer, maybe there will be firefly lanterns, accompanied by laughter.

But along the way, she only saw the flickering candles.Jane screamed a few times, presumably, it was a dispute between the palace maids and eunuchs fighting for gold and silver.

Xia Qi took a deep breath, and a chill went down to her chest.She tried her best to make her voice sound normal, and said, "Brother Huang... is it Your Majesty?"

The boy in white was clearly so close, but his voice seemed far away in the sky.

"Your Majesty? Well." He smiled softly, "No, it's Prince Zuo."

"Zuo..." Xia Qi's pupils shrank.

The boy in white: "My lord said, you are here to suffer for his sister, so I will save you no matter what."

Xia Qi was speechless.

After a long time, she slowly realized that...it was Brother Da Huang.

As long as she can remember, the deposed prince.

"But why jump off the roof?"

"You said this. It's more convenient to walk on the roof."

"...By the way, what's your name?"

"Qi Yao."

Outside Qi'an City.

A slender white hand slightly opened the curtain of the carriage, and then lowered it in an instant.

"The snow has stopped."

"Well, let's go."

"We're going to enter the city any further..." He hesitated, "Why don't we take the path?"

"Isn't the emperor of the Southern Kingdom still outside the capital? Before he is completely seated, the emperor will not cause trouble in the rear."

"But..." He still hesitated.

"Compared to that," rolled his eyes, "Sixth sister, think about what to say when you go to the city for investigation later."

"The people arranged by my uncle are of course useful, but my uncle's family..." Sighed.

"Didn't Sixth Sister speak well in front of Qiao Jinsheng earlier?"

"Uncle also said that Changluo is the closest untouched place to Beijing...Xiaoba."

"Ok?"

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

"After the third brother's accident, if I hadn't gone to you..."

The eighth princess was startled.

"When I got married, if I didn't ask my concubine to let you come...or let you come, but I didn't talk about it. Although I have a vague feeling that something is wrong about Bai Lin and the second brother..."

The eighth princess sighed, and pressed the sixth sister's hand.

"...Xiaoba?"

"During that time, Sixth Sister came to see me, and I was very happy." She interlocked her fingers together, "Before Sixth Sister got married, I... I secretly saved the proportion, and in the end it was almost enough to make a doll... "

The eighth princess's lips curled up slightly: "Bai Lin's name was written on it, and he stabbed him every day. When the people sent by Concubine Huimu arrived, I was about to burn that villain..."

The sixth princess couldn't help laughing out loud.

"At that time, Sixth Sister... For a long time afterwards, I was thinking that Sixth Sister also liked me. After going south, I knew that it was a long time since Bai Lin and Second Brother had an accident. Although I don't know exactly what it was, I still……"

The carriage made deep marks on the snow, and the voices of small voices slowly faded away.

"... If you want to say regret, there is indeed a little bit."

"what?"

"It would be fine if I had been with Sixth Sister since I was a child."

Outside Beijing, inside the camp of the southern army generals.

King An Le looked at the two in front of him and smiled wryly: "I thought His Majesty had forgotten me."

Emperor Xuande frowned, and at that moment, King Anle seemed to feel the cold air blowing towards his face.

Emperor Xuande: "Is he talking to you like this before?"

The thirty-seven-year-old young emperor turned his head, his eyes softened the moment he touched the person beside him.And the person next to the little emperor was the "Emperor Xuande" whom King Anle met at Qingliu Pass in the fifth year of Duanning.

Prince Zuo smiled, and said in a calm tone, "Yes."

Emperor Xuande frowned even tighter, and after a while, he compromised.

Prince Zuo: "You want the lives of your two younger brothers, we want the life of Emperor Yan...you earned it."

King An Le still smiled wryly: "My lord expects, I'm afraid it won't be like this."

Prince Zuo bent his lips: "Go and recognize your brothers... By the way, especially your second brother."

"Second brother?" An Le Wang subconsciously repeated.

"Tell him, there is an old man, I don't know if he wants to see it or not."

Royal Palace.

The last 1 people in the capital had already been transferred to the city gate. After finishing the final arrangements, Qiao Jinsheng stood up from the chair he had sat on for six years and looked out the window.

The sky cleared after the snow, and the outline of Luoling loomed behind the palace.Qiao Jinsheng looked at it silently for a while, then turned his head, and in front of him were all the remaining officials of Dayan in the hall.

She counted them one by one, including herself, there were only dozens of people.

Emperor Duanning really wanted to ask, why didn't you run away?

...Even she, the emperor, had the idea of ​​abandoning Beijing.

If it really came to that point, Qiao Jinsheng thought, she didn't plan to plan a comeback, as long as she could spend the rest of her life with her sister, or even count it as a day, that would be enough.

If there are still people who escape, maybe they will rescue the second or third prince who was trapped, push them to the throne of God, and try to recover.

Qiao Jinsheng really wanted to know how he would be described in the history books after a hundred years.Infamy is inevitable, who made her the king of subjugation.

King of Subjugation...

Emperor Duanning shook his head.

There were always chattering noises outside the hall, but the officials in the hall, including her, the emperor, didn't bother to pay attention to it.The strange restless sound became louder and louder, and finally someone showed annoyed expression and was about to speak out to reprimand——

The hall door was knocked open with a "bang".

The court ladies and eunuchs pushing each other were in a mess, and small pieces of gold wares rolled all over the hall.

The man standing at the head of all the officials took a step forward and said sharply, "How decent you are!"

The little eunuch who fell on the ground hastily kowtowed to admit his mistake, and for a moment, all eyes in the hall were focused on this.A court lady quietly moved closer to a night pearl, and then slowly stretched out her hand, trying to put it in her arms.

"Hmph!" Another cold snort.

That person is an old man who has been in the court since Emperor Jingning ascended the throne, he was originally a confidant of Emperor Jingning, as an imperial party, he was never reused during the Duanning dynasty.Until the country is about to break, and finally stand up again.

A group of eunuchs and court ladies retreated timidly, and before leaving, some people sighed at the various little things they had finally found.

"Farce!" The old official was still puzzled, turned around and took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said to Emperor Duanning, who was above the ninth step, "Your Majesty! My Great Yan has suffered such a catastrophe...Your Majesty, make plans early!"

The empress's voice came, mixed with the sound of water, as if she had cried: "Zhen..."

The thin cry fell on the ears of everyone in the hall, and everyone reacted differently.Some shook their heads and sighed, some showed disdain... But the group of people who had never seen the empress show weakness did not realize at all that there was someone else on the stage.

The distance is too far, blocking the king's heart.

It snowed all night,
