The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

This night in Yanfei City, the entire imperial city was illuminated by lights from the sky. It was supposed to be a night of peaceful sleep, but it was full of noise and noise.

Goose returned to the top of the city, and the huge copper bell finally rang again after more than ten years.

Those loud mournful cries echoed throughout the capital, even waking up the sleeping people.

The sleeping people got up one after another, rushed to the street, raised their heads to look at the huge and majestic imperial city with solemn expressions, followed the ringing of the bell in their hearts, and counted the sound.

The loud bang and vibration of the bronze bell struck everyone's heart, and the lingering sound died down, and another sound rang out.

"Boom."

"Eight"

"Nine"

"ten"

...

"27"

The bell rang for 27 times before it stopped slowly.

For the national mourning of Yan State, the death of the emperor, the huge bronze bell on the top of Yanhui City will ring 99 times, and when the queen passes away, the bell will ring 27 times, and the prince and princess will pass away, the bell will ring [-] times. Ring nineteen times.

But tonight, the bell rang 27 times, which should have been ringing only after the Queen's death.

But the Queen of Yan State had passed away more than ten years ago, and the 27 bells had already sounded more than ten years ago.

Since then, Emperor Yan has never established a queen.

But today the bell of Yanhui Pavilion rang 27 times again.

Even so, the people still know who the mourners are today.

In the palace, after the empress passed away, the only person who could be treated like an empress after her death was the empress's cousin, the concubine Chen who raised the prince and princess but was in poor health.

That was supposed to be Emperor Yan's new empress, and the common people would be convinced to choose her as the empress.

The lingering sound of the bell was low, when the mournful sound dissipated little by little.

An astonishing scene appeared.

The people who crowded the streets of the capital knelt down one after another, bowed their heads heavily towards the direction of the imperial city.

This sleepless night seemed to be in the entire imperial city, after which Xia Qiulian and Yan Banting hugged each other and curled up on the bed.

Outside the door, there were Qing Yuan and Lu Ruan knocking on the door hurriedly.

"Miss, get up quickly, something happened."

Yan Wanting closed her eyes tightly and curled up on Xia Qiulian's neck without saying a word.

The knocking on the door became louder and louder, and the calls of Qingyuan and Luruan became more urgent.

Xia Qiulian opened her eyes and called softly.

"Your Highness."

"Ah."

Yan Wanting responded in a low voice.

"It's time to get up."

Although he couldn't bear it, Xia Qiulian called Yan Wanting who was pretending to be asleep.

"Ah."

Yan Wanting hesitated for a long time, then slowly sat up, but sat on the edge of the bed without moving.

The back that always stopped was finally bent and slumped, and she sat quietly with her back to Xia Qiulian, as if in a daze.

"Qiu Lian, my cousin is gone."

Yan Wanting's voice was very soft, gently brushing against Xia Qiulian's ear, as if asking, looking for an answer.

Even if she knew the answer clearly, even if Concubine Chen was in her arms when she died.

Even if she carried Concubine Chen all the way back to Jingyi Hall, put her on the bed, and covered her with a brocade quilt.

Now, she acts as if she doesn't know.

She seemed to want to hear no from Xia Qiulian's mouth.

"Your Highness."

Xia Qiulian looked at Yan Wanting's back, bit her lip, her eyes were full of pity.

"Qiu Lian, I didn't expect that I would come to you again."

Yan Wanting's hoarse voice was emotionless.

For some reason, Xia Qiulian felt great grief in her chest, she knew what Yan Banting said.

she knows.

"Your Highness, go and have a look, you should go."

"Ah."

Yan Wanting stood up, the clothes on her body were scattered and wrinkled, she didn't know it, and walked straight to the door.

"and many more."

Xia Qiulian stopped her behind her.

Yan Wanting didn't look back, and put his hand on the door.

"Yan Wanting."

Xia Qiulian called out her name.

She got up from the bed, the wound on her shoulder had long since split open, and the scarlet blood soaked through the white underwear.

Xia Qiulian hurriedly put on her clothes to cover the blood from the wound, and walked to Yan Banting's side.

She stretched out her hand and gently took Yan Wanting's hand.

Yan Wanting's hands were colder than hers.

Yan Wanting turned around and looked at her, with some doubts in his empty eyes.

"I'll go with you."

Xia Qiulian bit her lip and mustered up her courage.

"Ah."

Yan Wanting didn't say anything, nor did she shake off Xia Qiulian's hand, but let her lead her and opened the door.

Qing Yuan, who was knocking on the door with her hands raised, stared at the two people who appeared in front of her.

He looked at Yan Wanting in disbelief.

"How about your highness..."

Qing Yuan looked at Lu Ruan for help.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Princess... Concubine Chen, Madam Chen..."

Lu Ruan was obviously also shocked, but her shocked expression quickly subsided.

The most important thing at the moment is not to doubt the appearance of Her Highness Princess.

"We know, take the lantern and go to Jingyi Hall."

Xia Qiulian interrupted Lu Ruan's words, she didn't want Yan Wanting to hear that sentence.

In the brightly lit palace, even if you don't lift the lantern, you can still see the way ahead.

Along the way, many sleepy-eyed women, dressed in somewhat messy palace skirts, also rushed to Jingyi Hall with the help of the maids.

It's just that Yan Wanting and Xia Qiulian who are holding hands are particularly conspicuous among them.

Their puzzled eyes kept looking at the clasped hands.

Yan Wanting's eyes were empty and confused, she seemed to be in a daze, even this way, Xia Qiulian was holding her hand and walking forward.

Qingyuan and Lvruan followed behind them, looking at Xia Qiulian with some concern.

They knew that Xia Qiulian's wound hadn't healed yet, so they couldn't apply force, so they dragged Yan Banting for a long time, and they didn't know if the wound had opened.

Physician Fu'an had specifically instructed them that the empress's wound had been torn several times, and it must not be opened again.

Otherwise, the wound may be difficult to heal.

It's just the current situation, they have no way to stop Xia Qiulian from asking, they can only anxiously follow Xia Qiulian's steps, and look at her shoulder worriedly.

I hope that Xia Qiulian's wound will not open.

Under the strange eyes of everyone, Yan Wanting suddenly didn't know, Xia Qiulian looked ahead, among the crowd, he kept holding Yan Wanting's hand tightly, and pulled her away.

Outside the Jingyi Hall, many concubines were already kneeling at the entrance of the hall, weeping with their heads down.

The low sobbing and crying sound, I don't know how many people are sincere and how many people are perfunctory.

At the gate of the hall, Xia Qiuli let go of Yan Banting's hand.

She should be like these concubines, kneeling on the ground instead of following Yan Wanting in.

It's just that she let go, but Yan Wanting still held her tightly, with more and more strength.

Originally, it was Xia Qiulian who led her all the way, but now, it was Yan Banting who was pulling her into the hall.

"His Royal Highness." The two little eunuchs kneeling at the gate of the palace are the little eunuchs serving Concubine Chen in Jingyi Palace. They have known Yan Wanting for a long time. When they saw Yan Wanting, they called out in grief and cried. It got louder.

"Your Highness."

Even if Xia Qiulian stopped, she was still pulled in by Yan Banting.

The kneeling concubines raised their heads and looked at Xia Qiulian, with the brocade handkerchief covering their nose and mouth, but there were no tears in their eyes.

They may be pretending to be sad now, but secretly happy in their hearts.

Concubine Chen, who had the last chance to become the queen, died, and they had an extra chance.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has said that no one else can enter the palace except you and His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Yan Wanting was about to drag Xia Qiuli in, a concubine who was kneeling closest to the door hurriedly called Yan Wanting to stop, ignoring the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It's just that Yan Wanting ignored her and dragged Xia Qiulian straight in.
