In Jingling Palace, the leaves of the maple tree in front of the sleeping hall turned green and red, and fell to the ground with the breeze blowing from outside the palace. The leaves that had just been swept away fell to another layer, which offended the little eunuch who was cleaning. There was a whimper of dissatisfaction.

Compared with other concubines' bedrooms, Jingling Palace is a bit outrageously quiet. It seems that everyone is careful not to make loud noises, and dare not slow down when walking, for fear of disturbing the beauty in the bedroom who has been asleep for a long time Son.

It is said that Concubine Xian got a strange disease and fell into a coma for more than half a year, lying down and sleeping for so long without eating or drinking, she must be about to die.

It seems that this beauty who was once so popular and amazed the entire Yan Palace has become a legendary figure in the harem in just half a year.

Those who were jealous and envious of her in the past, now only mentioned it in casual chats, or expressed regret or pretended to be amused.

In autumn, the cool wind blows through the open carved windows into the bedroom, rolls up the white gauze beside the bed, and floats gracefully and softly in the air.

Ye Zhaoyin, who was dressed in red, was sitting on the edge of the bed, propping her chin and looking a little dazed. She looked at Xia Qiulian, who was motionless, breathing calmly and ruddy, and suddenly sighed.

The people on the bed seemed to have fallen into an endless nightmare. They didn't know how many days had passed outside, and they didn't know how turbulent the world is now.

"I'm envious of you, sister Qiulian, you don't have to worry about anything when you fall asleep."

Ye Zhaoyin sighed with emotion, her eyes seemed to become hazy little by little, knowing that no one responded to what she said, but she still whispered to herself in a low voice.

"We are all from the Jiang country. Do you know that the Jiang country has become a chessboard for other countries? Even the barbarians dare to invade the territory. Today's Jiang country is like the meat on the chopping board, surrounded by a group of people. All the wolves are coveting, eager to pounce on them and take a bite, but they still have to find an excuse in a dignified manner, is it really hypocritical?"

A sigh of resentment and sorrow floated in the bedroom, and Ye Zhaoyin's voice was suddenly inexplicably choked with sobs.

"In the past, I always felt that if I left Jiang Guo and left home to live the life I wanted, I would have nothing to do with Jiang Guo in the future. But for some reason, as long as I heard about Jiang Guo's current situation, I thought of Jiang Guo's sufferings. My people, my heart is very sad, and I have nowhere to go. After thinking about it, is this the hometown complex you told me about?"

Ye Zhaoyin babbled on for so long by herself, but felt her nose was sore and her throat was slightly choked. She raised her head and blinked her eyes for fear that she would really shed tears. After calming down the tears, she looked down at Xia Qiulian and smiled wryly.

"I only dare to say these words to you. How dare I say them to others. I don't know why I suddenly want to talk to you today."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again and said quietly.

"It's fine if you don't wake up. Now half of Yan's troops have entered the border of Jiang's country. After all, Jiang's end can be like this. Yan's help is indispensable. You have a strong temper and value Jiang's more than I do. If you are awake, I don't know what fool you're going to do."

It's just that it's up to Xia Qiulian to decide whether to wake up or not.

She is like someone who is extremely tired. She has no consciousness in a drowsy sleep, and because of her own sensitivity, she withdraws from sleep from time to time. Although she can't open her eyes or move her body, her hearing seems to have recovered. She can hear The faint sound of people walking and talking next to them.

It's just that this feeling seems to be there, and it will disappear soon, and then she will fall into a deep sleep again.

She had heard Yan Wanting's voice several times, and that gentle voice crashed into her mind intermittently, sometimes she could hear what she was saying clearly, and sometimes she couldn't hear clearly.

However, when Xia Qiulian's hearing began to recover, Ye Zhaoyin babbled in her ear, and all the words entered her mind verbatim.

Even the last sentence Ye Zhaoyin said.

"His Royal Highness, she has not seen you for a long time."

Before she had time to think deeply, Xia Qiulian's weak consciousness was like an extinguished candle, and she fell into darkness in an instant.

After talking a lot, Ye Zhaoyin stood up and stretched, her mood quickly returned to her previous casualness, and she yawned along the way,

"I'm a little tired, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Not long after Ye Zhaoyin left, Yan Banting came.

She walked slowly alone, her hair dyed like a waterfall of ink was tied with a jade crown, and she was wearing a white robe embroidered with cranes in the cloud on both sides. Her eyes were deep and clear, and she looked as beautiful as jade.

When the people in Jingling Palace saw her coming, they knelt down in a hurry to salute. She just waved her hand lightly and walked straight to Xia Qiulian's bedroom.

Ye Zhaoyin is right, Yan Wanting has indeed been away for a long time, but she just returned to the palace this morning, and originally wanted to see Xia Qiulian as soon as she returned to the palace, but her elder brother, His Royal Highness Yan Changling, stopped in front of her palace after taking a bath .

Yan Changling has a gentle temperament and no ambitions. Yan Wanting persuaded Emperor Yan to send troops to Jiang Guo to help Jiang Muxi regain the throne, but Yan Changling strongly opposed it.

In his opinion, the civil strife in Jiang State has nothing to do with Yan State. Yan State has always ruled the country with virtue. This time, Jiang State sent troops to Jiang State because it was criticized for having plans for Jiang State, and the Yuwen tribe in the northern border has always been eyeing Yan State. , Now that Jiang Guo is sending a large number of troops, I am afraid that the Yuwen tribe will take the opportunity to invade the territory of Yan State.

Yan Wanting disagreed with him, and she wanted to use Jiang Muxi's hand to go out to Jiang to inquire about Yan, and also benefit Yan from it.

For this reason, the DPRK and China are divided into two forces, one headed by the prince, who sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight to guard against the Yuwen clan, and does not get involved in Jiang's domestic turmoil.

The other force is headed by Yan Wanting. The territory of Jiang State is not much smaller than that of Yan State, and its national power is also strong. If Yan State wants to dominate the world, it must make Jiang State bow its head. Chaos is a great opportunity, maybe you can take this opportunity to invade Jiang State and take it as the territory of Yan State.

Afterwards, the war in Jiang State became more intense, and Yan State sent more and more troops to Jiang State. Yan Changling's opposition became more intense. The two brothers and sisters, who had been close friends since childhood, quarreled several times over this.

This time is also the same, Yan Changling approached Yan Wanting to take back all the troops sent to Jiang Guo, Yan Wanting naturally refused, the two broke up after a big fight this time, Yan Chang Ling bluntly said that she was extremely disappointed in her.

Yan Wanting was full of depression, Yan Changling's temper was too weak, he only strived for nothing, but he didn't have the slightest ambition to dominate the world.

Sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Xia Qiulian, the displeasure in Yan Wanting's eyes slowly faded away, and became full of loneliness and sadness. She gently reached out her hand to caress Xia Qiulian's face, and sighed softly.

"Every time I come back, I always look forward to you waking up, but I don't know why I am afraid of you waking up again. You know that Jiang Guo is really fighting constantly, and the thing you worry about the most happened. The people of Jiang Guo are suffering, and you If I saw it, I would be heartbroken.”

Yan Wanting's voice fell. For some reason, when she faced Xia Qiulian, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and her dark eyes were full of complexity.

When she left the palace this time, she went to the border of Jiang Country to meet Jiang Muxi.

The soldiers led by Jiang Muxi who wanted to regain the throne and return to orthodoxy were all Yan's iron cavalry, and although Yan's army seemed to obey Jiang Muxi's orders, once Yan Wanting left, she was the real commander who deserved it.

She personally led the army to capture Jiang Guo's Liao City, and in order to save time in that battle, under her preference, fire attacks were used. Countless flaming arrows fell from the sky in Liao City, killing and wounding Jiang Guo. Not only the guards, but also the people of Liaocheng.

A once-prosperous small town in the south of the Yangtze River was burned to the ground. There were crying women, children and children everywhere, and charred bodies were everywhere.

When she led the army into Liaocheng on a tall horse, the remnants of the people stood by the burned houses one after another, looking at her with fear and hatred in their eyes.

An old woman with ragged clothes and disheveled hair, carrying a crying child on her back, blocked her way alone. She was holding a half-burned severed arm in her hand. Her eyes were full of tears, and she died. Staring deadly at Yan Wanting, with a bone-killing hatred in her despair, she stretched out her trembling fingertips to point at Yan Wanting, and said bitterly in an old voice.

"Get out, people from Yan country, get out of Jiang country."

Jiang Guoren, who gathered at the side with dull eyes, followed her voice and began to echo each sentence.

"Get out, Yan people get out of my Jiang country."

The deep and different voices overlapped together like the sound of hell, and those eyes stared at her with hatred like tarsus maggots.

Yan Wanting tightly held the reins in his hands, and walked forward under the protection of the soldiers.

Originally, although the civil war in Jiang State harmed the people, it was still a group of Jiang State people fighting. If Yan State people were involved, then in the eyes of the Jiang State people, Yan Guobi was plotting against the law and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to steal the country and bear infamy and hatred. is natural.

Yan Wanting walked all the way, and the devastation she saw with her own eyes was caused by her own hands, and the guilt in her heart turned into a nightmare to haunt her every night.

It's just that after seeing too much, they become a little numb. Since the people of Jiang country already hate the people of Yan country, it doesn't matter if they hate them more.

The long-buried ambition in my heart was like a seed that broke through the ground, broke through the confinement and began to grow wildly.

So what if Jiang Xunyan is removed, is that the end? Since the soldiers of Yan State have already set foot on the land of Jiang State, how can they return empty-handed.

Yan Wanting couldn't sleep at night, standing on the dilapidated city wall of Liaocheng, stepping on bloodstains that hadn't been washed off, she looked at the moon in the sky with her hands behind her back, thinking for a long time.

There are too many countries in this world, and the killings and conquests between countries have never stopped. Since Jiang’s civil war has involved so many other countries’ forces, why doesn’t she disrupt all of this and let the world be unified, break it and then establish it? This principle has never changed since ancient times.
