This is your world

In the silent courtyard.

Lu'er's figure appeared under the eaves, carrying a bowl of hot soup to the door of the young lady's room.

"Deng Deng stare!"

There was a knock on the door, and then Lu'er gently pushed the door open and walked into the room.

"Miss!"

Lu'er's eyes fell on the window in the room.

The young lady was sitting by the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

It rained again last night, and the air in the yard was moist in the morning.

It has been raining heavily recently in Beijing, and the sky is gray, which makes people feel depressed a lot.

"Miss, have some soup!"

The weather had cooled down slightly, and Lu'er came to the lady with hot soup.

I saw the young lady still looking out the window, seemingly a little dazed.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Xie Wan'er seemed to come back to her senses slightly. She shook her head slightly.

"nothing!"

Although the young lady denied it, Lu'er quickly noticed something from the sad look on the young lady's face.

Thinking of what the lady had ordered before, Lu'er felt a little worried: "Miss, have you really decided?"

Seeing that the young lady did not speak, Lu'er felt even more uneasy: "But in this case, young lady, you will also be in danger..."

Xie Waner lowered her eyes slightly: "I have no choice!"

"But……"

Lu'er opened her mouth, but when she saw the young lady's determined expression, she fell silent again.

As a personal maid who has been with the young lady for many years, she understands the young lady's character very well. Once the lady decides something, no one can change it.

For example, when the Jokhang court granted marriage, in order not to embarrass the master, the young lady resolutely decided to marry to the capital even though she didn't like it.

But now, when the young lady decided to avenge her master, no one could change her determination.

only……

Lu'er felt panic and uneasiness in her heart.

Of course she knew the danger involved.

The person who murdered the master is none other than the current Crown Prince of Jokhang.

No, to be precise, he will be the new emperor of Jokhang.

It is self-evident how difficult it is for the young lady to avenge her master. More importantly... once the revenge is taken, the young lady will be in extreme danger no matter whether it is successful or not.

It can even be said that... death is inevitable.

But even so, the lady still decided to do it. As a maid, Lu'er could not dissuade the young lady. The only thing she could do was to stand on a united front with the young lady.

"Miss, no matter how dangerous it is, Lu'er is always willing to follow you!"

Lu'er's eyes became firm.

She has entered the Xie family in Beizhou since she can remember, following and serving the young lady. The Xie family was kind to her, and the young lady was even more kind to her. Since the young lady decided to do something, she would definitely follow the young lady.

Listening to Lu'er's words, Xie Wan'er's heart tightened slightly.

She knew the danger involved, and naturally she didn't want to drag down the most trusted maid beside her. But when she saw Lu'er's firm gaze, she was speechless.

Just as Lu'er understands her, why doesn't she understand Lu'er?

"Thanks!"

Xie Waner was silent for a long time, her tone somewhat grateful.

At this time, Lu'er is the only person around her that she can trust, and the only person she can speak to.

"Miss, the Xie family has been kind to me. No matter what, since Miss wants to help the master take revenge, Lu'er will definitely go all out!"

Lu'er spoke with firm eyes.

Xie Wan'er nodded and glanced out the window again, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she whispered: "Is the person coming soon?"

Lu'er followed the lady's gaze and looked out the window. She was silent for a moment and nodded: "It should be soon!"

Emperor Zhao was assassinated and General Zhao Jing came to the throne. Logically speaking, someone was indeed about to come.

"Miss, drink some soup first, you haven't eaten for almost a day!"

Lu'er urged softly.

Xie Wan'er nodded slightly, lowered her head to scoop up a small spoonful of soup in the bowl, and took a sip.

However, she didn't have much appetite, so she put down the spoon after taking a few sips.

She gently stretched out her hand to cover her chest, her pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her beautiful face showed a hint of sadness that could not be resolved.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"fine!"

Xie Wan'er shook her head, but her eyes were slightly lowered and depressed, but she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Lu'er stood aside and felt a little distressed when she saw the young lady's dejected look.

During this period, the young lady couldn't sleep well, and she lost a lot of weight visibly.

The lady is worried!

At this time, Lu'er seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said softly: "Miss?"

"Um?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

Lu'er hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You and Mr. Li..."

Lu'er paused for a moment before speaking softly: "What's going on?"

When Lu'er suddenly mentioned this, the expression on Xie Wan'er's face condensed slightly.

Then there seemed to be a flash of panic, and she quickly shook her head: "It's okay!"

"Really...are you okay?"

Lu'er stared at the young lady's appearance and found that the young lady's evasive eyes and unnatural look were obviously not that simple.

At this time, Xie Wan'er was silent for a moment. When she seemed to realize something, she turned back and found Lu'er staring at her intensely. His eyes were a little complicated: "Do you like Mr. Li?"

While Xie Wan'er was stunned, panic and uneasiness flashed across her face. At the same time, a look of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Qiuning also asked her this question.

But……

She has no answer!

When Lu'er asked this question again, she still had no answer.

like him?

She has not thought about this problem and will not think about it.

After all, she and he belong to two different worlds, not to mention her identity... She can't possibly like him.

But……

When this thought came to mind, Xie Wan'er felt slightly panicked.

It's like a feeling of panic that you are about to lose something, feeling empty and unable to find a sense of belonging.

This made her very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Even these days, she still recalled the ridiculous experience of that night in her mind from time to time.

Every time she thought about it, she would feel extremely ashamed, self-blame, uneasy, sad... Countless emotions came over her, almost overwhelming her.

But at the same time, a different kind of emotion gradually grew in her heart.

Can't tell!

But what is certain is that this man, who had not had much contact with her in her life, was completely bound together after that absurd night.

No matter what, it was impossible for Xie Waner to forget him.

"I, I don't know!"

Xie Waner just shook her head.

Like it?

she does not know.

She even doesn't know what it means to like someone!

When the girl was in Huaichun, she had imagined what her future husband would be like one day, but later, all her fantasies were shattered when the court granted her a marriage.

But even if she married into the palace, she married the current prince. But she couldn't even see her husband on their wedding night, and she has been left out in the cold ever since.

Until...my father was killed.

The sudden bad news almost crushed this woman who had lived a well-fed life since she was a child and had hardly suffered any setbacks.

Until Li Beifeng appeared, she finally seemed to find a glimmer of hope in her originally gloomy days.

So, she desperately grabbed this glimmer of hope and took the initiative to lower her status to get his help, even...

At this moment, Lu'er looked at her young lady's dull look with complicated eyes, feeling a little distressed and understanding something.

"Miss, you like him!"

Lu'er spoke softly.

Xie Wan'er was slightly startled and looked up at Lu'er in confusion.

"I like him?"

She was silent, a little at a loss.

As if thinking of something, Lu'er suddenly said: "Miss, if you go to avenge me, then... what will Mr. Li do?"

What should he do?

Xie Waner seemed not to have thought about this problem.

Even after that night, Xie Wan'er thought that was the last time they saw each other.

She didn't think about how the two would meet next time.

She didn't know how to face him, with what kind of mentality and identity!

She didn't dare to see him.

"He has things he should do!"

Xie Wan'er tried her best to calm down her tone, but she couldn't hide the gloom in her eyes.

"I don't have much relationship with him."

"It doesn't matter?"

Hearing what the lady said, Lu'er couldn't sit still.

"Why is there no relationship? Miss, you are with him..."

In desperation, Lu'er almost blurted out, but luckily she reacted quickly and shut up.

However, Xie Waner realized something.

She raised her head suddenly, opened her eyes and looked at Lu'er: "What did you say?"

"me……"

A trace of panic appeared on Lu'er's face, and under the gaze of the young lady, she was quickly defeated again.

"Miss, I know everything..."

"what do you know?"

"The matter between you and Mr. Li..."

Lu'er lowered her head slightly and said, "That night... I knew everything."

This time, it was Xie Wan'er's turn to be confused!

After hearing Lu'er say that she knew everything, Xie Waner suddenly realized something. First, he was stunned and his mind went blank. Then, panic filled his heart.

What happened that night...she, she knew everything?

She, how did she know?

I originally thought that no one would know what happened that night, but I didn't expect that Lu'er would actually...

In an instant, Xie Wan'er's originally fair cheeks suddenly turned red, and she shifted her gaze in panic.

"Me, me and him, no, no... it's not what you think..."

Lu'er sighed faintly: "Miss, it's already this time, do you still want to lie to me and yourself?"

As if being spoken to her heart, Xie Waner was stunned.

After a while, her expression became lonely.

yes!

What had already happened, why would she lie to herself?

Does it make sense?

"Miss……"

Lu'er looked at her young lady with complicated eyes: "Are you planning to just pretend it never happened? Are you planning to... hide it from Young Master Li?"

Lu'er knew very well that the young lady and Zhao Jing had no relationship at all. Apart from the nominal relationship between husband and wife, there was no relationship whatsoever.

Therefore, she didn't feel much about what happened between the young lady and Mr. Li.

Even if the young lady can be happy, she sincerely wishes her, but now...

Xie Wan'er's beautiful eyes dimmed and she was silent for a long time before speaking: "Between me and him... it was just a misunderstanding!"

"Maybe I am just an insignificant person to him!"

Xie Waner closed her eyes and spoke slowly.

The tone seems relaxed, but in fact it is very heavy.

"Miss……"

How could Lu'er not see that the young lady was duplicity?

The young lady always has such a temperament and always takes on everything herself, but...

Just when Lu'er was hesitating on how to persuade the young lady.

Outside the yard, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared in the yard,

"who?"

Lu'er's eyes sharpened suddenly and she spoke sternly.

At this time, several figures in the courtyard appeared in sight.

The leader was a eunuch wearing the uniform of a palace eunuch.

"Is the Crown Princess here?"

The leading eunuch glanced around the courtyard and quickly landed on Xie Wan'er by the window.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch and several people behind him immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Old slave, meet the Crown Princess!"

Xie Wan'er's beautiful eyes fell on a few people, and she had a vague guess in her expression: "What's going on?"

"His Majesty has passed away. Your Highness is about to take over the throne and ascend the throne as emperor. Congratulations to the Crown Princess. This old slave has been ordered by His Highness to welcome the Crown Princess back to the palace..."

finally come!

Xie Wan'er's eyes narrowed.

…

Jingcheng, Jingzhao Mansion.

Lin Xian sat in his house, frowning as he looked at the documents sent below.

After a moment, he stretched out his hand to rub his brow and sighed.

Several orders came in succession from the palace, causing the entire Jingzhao Mansion to operate day and night, searching for several people in the capital.

However, when looking at the portrait placed on the table, Lin Xian's eyes and pupils shrank sharply.

On the table in front of him, there was a portrait of a young man quietly placed. Just next to the portrait of this young man, there are a few words marked... Li Beifeng!

Lin Xian was shocked when he learned about the person to be arrested.

Is the court going to arrest Li Beifeng? !

What is the origin of Li Beifeng?

Lin Xian couldn't be more clear!

The protector of Qin Tiansi, one of the most trusted people under the eldest princess.

First, the eldest princess was assassinated, then there were multiple orders and restrictions imposed on Qin Tiansi by the DPRK and China, and now there is even a plan to arrest Qin Tiansi's protector.

This undoubtedly does not reveal a serious message.

Something might have happened in the middle of the court!

As Jing Zhaoyin of the capital, Lin Xian's position is very sensitive.

In addition to being responsible for the safety of everyday people in the capital and maintaining law and order in the capital, he also has to pay attention to all trends in the government at all times.

Any disturbance will be magnified countless times under the emperor's feet.

During this period of time, Lin Xian had heard many rumors. Even in the past few days, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be a lot of changes in the city defense. At the same time, there were also many more forest guards outside the city. .

Lin Xian, who realized this, reported this situation to Su Xiang. When he waited for Su Xiang's response, Lin Xian felt more and more uneasy.

The news of the assassination of the eldest princess has already spread throughout the capital, and there are various rumors that the person who assassinated the eldest princess is the current crown prince.

Lin Xian did not dare to speculate casually, but due to the increasingly strong public sentiment, the entire capital had undergone tremendous changes.

Especially in the past few days, the palace seemed to be more unstable. I heard that the palace had been closed for the past two days, which made Lin Xian realize that something was wrong.

Why seal the palace?

The officials in the DPRK and China seem to have bad expressions these past two days?

Even some officials with whom he usually had good relationships ended up in vain when Lin Xian tried to inquire.

"What happened in the palace?"

Lin Xian murmured to himself, frowning, feeling uneasy in his heart.

At this moment, a figure suddenly stumbled in from outside the door.

"Da, my lord is not good..."

A police officer from the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen ran in, out of breath, and said with a face full of horror: "Palace, palace, come, someone is here..."

"Is there someone from the palace?"

Lin Xian was startled and frowned, wondering why the people in the palace were so panicked.

Could it be that something big happened?

Lin Xian, who felt uneasy, immediately stood up and walked out of the room.

Several figures appeared in the courtyard outside the door.

The leader was an eunuch from the palace.

However, Lin Xian's eyes were shocked when he noticed the black and white clothes on this eunuch.

Before he could recover, he heard the eunuch speak.

"Master Lin, take the order!"

"What purpose?"

"Edict of the Emperor Daxing!"

"What?!"

Lin Xian froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

…

The emperor died!

The news spread throughout the capital almost overnight!

Just that morning, countless orders and decrees came from the palace. Through countless information transmissions, Emperor Daxing's edict was quickly transmitted to the hands of officials in various counties and counties.

Then the news could no longer be concealed and quickly spread among the people.

In just half a day, it caused an uproar in the capital.

Those who had guessed that something big was about to happen had no idea that such breaking news was waiting for them.

His Majesty passed away? !

This news shocked everyone and was dumbfounded and in disbelief.

Your Majesty, why did you suddenly die? !

Your Majesty is in good health, isn't he?

Before everyone who was shocked by this news could recover, the news had already spread along the capital.

At the same time, officials and intelligence stations in various counties announced His Majesty's final edict to the entire Jozhao territory.

Emperor Zhao's death was so sudden that he did not have time to make a final edict.

But for everyone, it does not matter whether His Majesty has a posthumous edict or not. After all, everyone knows that there is only one Crown Prince in Dazhao. If His Majesty dies, then it is a matter of course that His Majesty the Crown Prince ascends the throne.

It's just that things happened so suddenly that everyone couldn't accept it.

For a time, the entire capital was in chaos!

Various rumors and rumors are constantly circulating in Beijing.

"Hey, do you know how His Majesty died without any problems?"

"Didn't the palace say that His Majesty died of a sudden illness due to excessive fatigue due to long years of hard work on government affairs?"

"Naive, do you believe this? Where has our Majesty managed the government in these years? What kind of fatigue and illness? This is just a lie to everyone!"

"Do you know?"

"No, I have heard some gossip from the palace. His Majesty's sudden death is definitely not an accident. There must be a conspiracy..."

"What conspiracy?"

"It's just...hey, who are you and what are you doing!"

Just when this person was about to speak, they saw a group of soldiers appear behind them and quickly captured these people and took them away.

For a time, the entire capital was silent and people were in panic.

…

Just as the news of the emperor's death was intensifying in the capital, it gradually spread to the world.

Li Beifeng's figure came to a courtyard quietly.

He glanced around and determined that this was the address Zhou Qiuning had given him.

Is Xie Waner trapped here?

With this in mind, Li Beifeng's figure quietly bypassed the eyeliners in the house and fell into the courtyard.

However, when Li Beifeng patrolled the courtyard, he did not find anyone.

nobody?

Could it be that that woman lied to herself again?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.

Li Beifeng dodged and hid in a hidden direction.

Footsteps approached, and at the same time, the voices of several maids could be heard talking.

"Where is the Crown Princess?"

"It has been brought back to the palace by His Highness's people!"

"So the Crown Princess will soon become the Queen?"

"That's not true. His Majesty has passed away and His Highness has ascended the throne. Doesn't the Crown Princess become the Queen?"

"..."

When the maids walked away, Li Beifeng's figure appeared in the pavilion again.

Xie Waner, have you entered the palace?

His heart sank.

Came a step too late.

Zhao Jing has already brought her back to the palace?

Right!

The news of Emperor Zhao's death spread and was announced to the world, which also meant that Zhao Jing had overcome the obstacles in the palace. This result is probably the final result.

As expected, he will ascend the throne as emperor next. So as the Crown Princess, Xie Waner will definitely be canonized as the Queen.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng's heart tightened.

He probably guessed what Xie Waner wanted to do!

only……

She is so naive!

Li Beifeng frowned. This woman is too naive. Does she really think she can change anything?

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng sighed.

Now it seemed that he had to go to the palace again and bring back this stupid woman.

…

Beijing.

Outside the city gate.

Since the past two days, the gates of the capital have been sealed, and anyone entering or leaving the gates will be subject to strict interrogation.

As the news of Emperor Zhao's death came, there was an uproar inside and outside the city. In order to prevent trouble, a large number of soldiers were deployed to guard the safety of the capital.

At this moment, just outside the city gate, the soldiers were strictly checking the people coming in and out, not letting go of any clues.

On the road not far outside the city gate, several figures appeared in sight.

On the horse in front, a man dressed in white was watching the city gate in front of him quietly.

Behind him were several serious-looking figures.

Several people rode horses and slowly appeared at the city gate. When the soldiers at the city gate saw this scene, they were furious.

"Who dares to act wild here?"

At the gate of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are still people who dare to ride on horseback?

Looking for death?

Suddenly, there were several soldiers around who stopped these riding figures and stared at them eagerly.

The leading soldier quickly walked up to several figures on horseback and angrily shouted: "Why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender?"

The figure on the horse showed no movement at all. The leader in white clothes just glanced at the man quietly and slowly took off the hat on his head.

Under the bamboo hat, a delicate and beautiful face appeared.

His cold, emotionless eyes glanced at the soldier.

The soldiers were originally very aggressive, but when they saw the white clothes in front of them, their expressions instantly turned frightened, their whole bodies started to tremble and tremble, their eyes looked like they had seen a ghost, and their voices were extremely trembling.

"Princess, eldest princess?!!"

"..."

.
