General Zhiyi

Tang Jingxu noticed that something was wrong with Yingli as early as the moment he was asked to go back to the palace by Rufeng on the streets of the imperial city. At that time, he held Tang Jingxu's hand, and his usually quiet eyes rolled up without any concealment. Tang Jingxu could completely understand Yingli's ruthlessness and deep hatred towards Empress Dowager Xuan, so he did not stop Yingli.

But when they stepped into Zhaohe Palace, Ying Li's behavior was obviously more abnormal. When he stopped and stared at the pond, Tang Jingxu could vaguely see from his back that he couldn't bear it, was deeply hurt, and even felt a little nostalgic.

But at the moment when he really stood in front of the Empress Dowager Xuan, seeing her in such a miserable state, not only did Ying Li not show a sense of joy, but his face was pale, he bit his lower lip, and trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but Tang Jingxu could already feel a strong sense of fear wrapping him tightly. After the punishment, the trembling children lying on the snow covered with bruises overlapped each other, which immediately stirred Tang Jingxu's heart.

Tang Jingxu knew very well that the physical and mental damage caused by the Empress Dowager Xuan's years of separation would never be erased in a lifetime. When he was first brought back to Xiyun Mountain, he thought that he would close himself up and completely trap himself in the dark and cold place. seabed.

But after getting along for a while, Tang Jingxu found that he just didn't like to talk. He was silent, but he didn't seem to separate everything in the palace. No matter what they said, as long as he was mentioned, he would almost always respond. Most of the time it's just a look.

Sometimes, Tang Jingxu would even see Ying Xuan's shadow from him, more precisely, it was the emperor's aura precipitated from Ying Xuan's body. There are obvious discrepancies in the impressions of him.

Surprised, Tang Jingxu spent a few days observing secretly, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Presumably it was because he had escaped from the confinement of the palace wall and the Empress Dowager Xuan, and got rid of the stigma of "the lone star of the evil spirit". The true self is revealed, on the other hand, this is also a good performance that Ying Li has stepped out of the shadow that has bound him and tortured him for several years.

While Tang Jingxu breathed a sigh of relief, he had a vague feeling of strangeness in his heart. He always felt that he was not like him, but after getting along for ten years, Tang Jingxu asserted that he was him.

However, the facts have proved that ten years have washed away the scars and smoothed the scars like running water, but they have not been able to wash away the dark seeds buried deep in the heart of the Empress Dowager Xuan. Maybe the slightest bit of damage was done to Li, and the seeds germinated in an instant, growing silently at the fastest speed, and the branches of fear pierced into every inch of ground in his body from the inside, and the suffocating pain almost overwhelmed him. he crushes...

Hearing Yin Liansheng's words, Yingli paused, and looked at the two of them in a daze, with panic that was too late to hide.

"Little San," Tang Jingxu frowned, strode up to him, patted his face lightly, and said seriously, "She can't hurt you anymore, no matter now or in the future. If you don't want to stay here, Master takes you back to Xiyun Mountain, and Master doesn't care about this nonsense."

"Ah Li..." Seeing Ying Li's abnormality at a glance, Ying Xuan took a step closer with a complex expression, but couldn't muster up the courage to take another step forward, just like before, obviously he really loved this little self who was a teenager However, due to the deterrence of the Empress Dowager Xuan, the dictatorship of outsiders, and also worrying about the disaster caused by the "Lone Star of the Fiend", he still has no courage to protect Yingli under his wings.

He admitted that he was cowardly.

After much difficulty, he finally survived until a few days before his enthronement. Holding back the joy in his heart, he planned to give all the best things to Yingli in an open and honest manner, but the sea of ​​desire was turbulent, and Yingli became his shield. The stepping stone for him to successfully ascend to the throne, presumably Yingli hated him, hated his incompetence, hated his inaction, the fact is like this, there is no way to refute it, so what face does he have to face Yingli?

Thinking of this, Ying Xuan was heartbroken, his legs seemed to be filled with a thousand catties of lead, and he could no longer take a step closer to Ying Li.

"No, I can't go!" Ying Li raised his head, his expression became calmer, and his voice was still trembling, "Master, save her!"

Tang Jingxu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and with a look of astonishment on his face, he hesitated and said, "Save? Whom? The Queen Mother?"

Yingli pursed his lips and shook his head.

"He's talking about that ghost." Yin Liansheng glanced at the closed window, which was facing the pond, covered with yellow talismans, layer upon layer, densely packed, leaving no gaps. He walked over, tore off a sheet, looked at it, threw it into the brazier, glanced at Ying Xuan, turned to Tang Jingxu and said with certainty, "Ying Li is going to save that ghost."

Ying Li nodded solemnly: "Save her."

Tang Jingxu: "Who is she?"

"Lin Niang." Ying Li said softly.

"Linniang?" Tang Jingxu frowned, as if he had heard this title somewhere before.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Xuan hugged her head and screamed: "Anlin! Anlin! Yu Anlin! Come on, come and kill me! No! No! No! Go away! Go away! Ying Li is here, He is here, you go to him, go to him! Stay away from me! Ahhhh..."

"My lady, don't be afraid, my lady, the child's time has passed, she won't come, won't come..."

Hong Xiu lightly patted the Empress Dowager Xuan on the back, trying to comfort her, but the Empress Dowager Xuan had already fallen into extreme panic and could not listen to her words at all. She even roared at the top of her throat, Hongxiu was helpless, raised her hand to pierce a silver needle on the back of her neck, and the Queen Mother fell into a coma for an instant, and then it stopped.

It was finally quiet, Tang Jingxu was concentrating, and then he remembered who this Yu Anlin was, and the beautiful figure in the snow holding a black paper umbrella and holding Ying Liyuan in the snow appeared in his mind, although he had only met her a few times But Tang Jingxu still deeply remembered that she was a reserved, noble and gentle woman.

Back then when he was in the palace of Yingguo with Ying Xuan, who was still the crown prince, Tang Jingxu, who had excellent ears, often heard those eunuchs and maids hiding in the corner and gossiping. Among them, the name "Yu Anlin" appeared most often.

By listening more, Tang Jingxu can probably piece together what happened to Yu Anlin.

Na Yu Anlin was originally the fifth princess of the former dynasty, and the younger sister of the former crown prince Yu Zixiu. When the Yu kingdom was destroyed, she was not executed even though she was a royal.

Of course, this Yu Anlin is not simple, it doesn't mean that she is scheming, but that there is some kind of entanglement between her and her predecessor Yinghuang Yingyan that is not clear but almost well-known.

It is rumored that when Yu Anlin was still a princess, one day she went to the temple on the mountain with the former queen to pray for the state of Yu, but she stayed overnight in the temple and was kidnapped by gangsters. Fortunately, a samurai happened to pass by the mountain forest, rescued her immediately, and escorted her safe and sound. Back in the temple, this warrior is naturally Ying Yan when he was young, the two met because of this, and Ying Yan fell in love even more.

At that time, Ying Yan had no intention of rebelling against him, and he only thought that Yu Anlin was the daughter of a wealthy family in the imperial city.

Later, Ying Yan was elected as the leader of the rebel army, but she was forced to marry a wife and take a concubine after struggling to find Yu An.

The rebel army approached the city, and the fatuous king of Yu feared death and wanted to surrender, but the crown prince, Yu Zixiu, was unwilling and took over the throne.

He is brave and good at fighting. After several battles, the rebel army led by Ying Yan retreated steadily. Seeing that the victory was in sight, Yu Zixiu disappeared overnight and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The situation of the battle turned around in an instant, and Ying Yan led his troops into the palace.

When he saw Yu Anlin being escorted before him, he realized that he had become the enemy of his beloved who destroyed the country. He didn't dare to meet Shangyu Anlin's eyes at all, only feeling the burning pain on his face.After all, he couldn't bear it, so he resisted the criticism, killed her son-in-law, and sent her to Ye Ting Palace.

Under Ying Yanming's deliberate maintenance, even though Yu Anlin was a criminal slave, his status in the palace was no lower than those concubines.

But after all, there was a national hatred and family feud between the two of them. Yu Anlin never saw Ying Yan again, and Ying Yan only secretly gave him the compensation he could. No matter what the minister said, he wholeheartedly protected her.

For some reason, Yu Anlin got involved with the two brothers Ying Xuan and Yingli. Tang Jingxu asked Ying Xuan out of curiosity, and he only said that Yu Anlin was the rising sun and warm sun for them, who gave them real warmth. Her hatred has never been shown before, so, since Ying Yan has passed away, how can such a woman turn into a cruel and deadly ghost?

Tang Jingxu felt that things were getting more and more complicated. He raised his hand and pressed his throbbing temple, and said, "Yu Anlin...how did she die?"

After pondering for a moment, Ying Xuan replied in a deep voice: "On the day of the father's funeral, he hanged himself."

"Oh? Die for love? Do you believe it? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Tang Jingxu sneered unceremoniously. He never thought that Ying Yan would be so stupid. He had seen Yu Anlin look at Ying Yan's back from afar. The eyes are full of deep hatred, she will live alone in the palace, it is absolutely impossible because of the deep love for Xiangyan, she is so noble, she is so proud, so Tang Jingxu is more willing to believe, She lives for hatred, she wants to see Ying Yan die, and live happily ever after.

Hearing Tang Jingxu's question, Ying Xuan's face froze, and then the blood faded from his face. He looked at Hong Xiu suddenly, and asked tremblingly, "She lied to me?"

Seeing Hongxiu bowed her head and said nothing, as if tacitly acquiescing, Ying Xuan's eyes were red, and she shouted sharply: "She lied to me!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, she..."

"Why, do you want to say that she has some difficulties?" Ying Xuan was so angry that she kicked over the table, pointed at the person on the bed, and shouted uncontrollably, "Linniang is always gentle, she didn't do anything. , did nothing! Why is she? Why is she!"

After shouting, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, stared at Hongxiu, and asked in a low voice: "Hongxiu, you have been by your mother's side for so many years, and I know you are kind-hearted and devoted to the Lord, so why are you looking at her?" So cruel and reckless?"

Hongxiu slowly knelt down and lay on the ground. Even though she couldn't see her expression, Tang Jingxu could still feel her neither humble nor overbearing. Madness, even Ying Xuan's punishment, she was indifferent, she just said softly: "Your Majesty, this servant has been with the empress since childhood, and the empress is the servant's heaven, and whatever the empress wants to do is right in the eyes of the servant. Right and wrong, slaves dare not speak nonsense..."

"Hongxiu, where is she?" Tang Jingxu interrupted her.

Ying Xuan: "You mean, she...she..."

"Her bones must still be within the palace walls. Otherwise, they won't be driven away."

Hearing this, Hong Xiu slowly raised his face, looked at Ying Xuan fixedly, and said persistently: "Your Majesty, it will be morning in two hours, go and rest for a while."

"Where did you leave her body?" Ying Xuan gritted his teeth.

"When the court is over, the slave will take you there." Said, Hongxiu lowered her head again.
