Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Xie Chao was on horseback from morning till night. He didn't dared to close his eyes for a moment. He was exhausted. He ran away for half his life. He fainted as soon as he shouted a few words.

Yaoying took him back to the mansion and asked the mansion doctors to diagnose and treat him.

She walked into the study and asked Xie Qing to get a map of Qing County.

According to Xie Chao's description before he lost consciousness, Li Zhongqian was seriously injured in the river valley of Qingxian County. After being surrounded for a few days, he never waited for rescue. Before he fell into a coma, he sent a few people who were familiar with water to break out for help.

Xie Chao is one of them. They escaped through the enemy's blockade, and they were found on the way by the other side, and he was the only one who survived.

Yaoying looked at the map and was suspicious: "Why does the second brother Xie Chao have to go back to Beijing for help?"

The army led by Zhao Tong, the third prince, and the fourth prince were closer to Li Zhongqian. Why did he stay closer?

Xie Qing had never been on the battlefield, did not understand the matter of sending soldiers to war, frowned and thought, but did not say a word.

Xu Biao snorted coldly, and slapped the book case heavily with his **** missing, cursing: "Because the king doesn't believe in the third prince and Zhao Tong! If you ask the third prince and the fourth prince for help, the prince and the others will really be wiped out! "

He suddenly patted his head.

"I suspected it before. The king's expedition was only escorting grain and grass. He was far from the front line. How could he be absolved? Someone must have betrayed the king and deliberately led him into a trap! Then he perfunctorily did not send soldiers to search along the river. , After finding a few corpses, they said that the king's army was wiped out, and they didn't want to save the king at all!"

Yaoying's hands in her sleeves clenched into fists.

The trap is another trap.

Is Li Zhongqian destined to die on the battlefield?

Even if she prevented him from going to Liangzhou a year ago, he would still die in battle a year later?

Just because Li Xuanzhen wants to kill him, because he is Li Xuanzhen's greatest threat, is he bound to die?

She must save Li Zhongqian.

No matter what the price is.

Yaoying closed her eyes, calmed down, and sorted her thoughts.

Zhao Tong is a veteran and a moderate man. He does not favor any prince and will not harm Li Zhongqian... nor will he save Li Zhongqian.

The three princes and the fourth princes have a hard time thinking about them. These two people will be killed by cruel officials in the name of treason in the future. As for whether they have rebelled or not, no one can tell.

If the three princes and the fourth princes join forces to harm Li Zhongqian, Zhao Tong would only watch with cold eyes.

Why did they harm Li Zhongqian?

In order to win the protagonist?

Or is it to please Li Xuanzhen?

Or is it all a poisonous scheme set up by Li Xuanzhen? The East Palace has long been laying a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for Li Zhongqian to go south?

Yaoying laughed mockingly.

In this life, Li Xuanzhen harmed Li Zhongqian, but she didn't use the tricks of those shameless villains like in the book, so she once naively thought that as long as those didn't happen, she could resolve Li Xuanzhen's hatred.

After all, Li Xuanzhen is not a wicked person.

Yaoying failed.

Li Xuanzhen wanted her to marry instead of Zhu Luyun. He arranged for Chief Ye Lu to enter the palace to watch the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony. Although she was stopped at the last minute, he still couldn't change the fact that he asked her to marry her instead.

Li De is cold-hearted, rational and ruthless, the only person in the world who can shake his mind is his wife Tang. Li Xuanzhen hates Li De, but he is actually the most like Li De. He can lose his reason for Zhu Luyun and do everything he can.

She shouldn't be lucky.

There were two knocks at the door, and Hu Cong informed that Xie Chao was awake.

Yaoying immediately went to see Xie Chao and asked him about the situation.

I don't know if it was because of the medicine that he had just taken, Xie Chao was in a daze, slow to react, and asked him what he had reacted for a long time before he answered vaguely.

The doctor said Xie Chao was exhausted.

Xu Biao jumped anxiously, pushed the healer away, and grabbed Xie Chao by the collar and roared, "Who is it that ambush the King?"

Xie Chao shook his head: "I don't know the little one."

"You said the king was injured? How many days has the king been in a coma? How many people are there? How many are there in the enemy?"

Xie Chao looked blank.

"Idiot! What else do you know?" Xu Biao was so angry that he punched the wall with his fist, shaking the beams of the house.

Xie Chao did not dare to say anything.

The other soldiers looked at each other.

Yaoying frowned, her eyes beckoning her soldiers to pull Xu Biao away, and she walked to the bed and looked down at Xie Chao, with large and slender eyes, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and the autumn water was squiggly.

"Why pretend to be stupid?" she asked.

Xie Chao lowered his head in shame.

Yaoying had already guessed something, and her heart was mixed: "Did my brother tell you...no matter what happens, you can't disturb me?"

Xie Chao trembled twice, and struggled to kneel on the ground: "Princess forgive me."

Li Zhongqian was seriously injured, and before he was unconscious, he ordered him to find a solution to Changshi immediately after returning to Beijing so as not to disturb the seventh princess. He saw the seventh princess at the post station, and rushed to ask for help. Now he sobered up, remembering Li Zhongqian's instructions, did not dare to disclose too much, and wanted to wait for the long history to come.

Yaoying sighed softly.

It's almost a matter of life and death, and Li Zhongqian still thinks about not involving her.

At the age of nine, he was taciturn, at the age of eleven, he was violent and gloomy, at the age of twenty, he was unruly and unruly. No matter which Li Zhongqian it was, he stood firmly in front of her, sheltering her from wind and rain, and propped up a peaceful sky of years. Let her grow up carefree in troubled times.

"You were also ordered to act, what's the sin?" Yaoying sighed, "I ask you, how did my brother get hurt? Is it serious?"

She increased her tone slightly, "Brother's life is hanging by a thread. I am now in charge of the palace, and Chang Shi also listens to my orders. You can answer whatever I ask you. No concealment is allowed. If you delay anything, I only ask you. ."

Xie Chao thought for a while, and said: "Princess, it is the people from Nanchu who ambushed us! They pretended to be water bandits and burned our food and grass. The king chased the enemy and was hit by their poisoned arrow, and less than a cup of tea. He was paralyzed and unable to move, the people of Nan Chu took the opportunity to turn their heads and counterattack, and the king was hit by a few..."

Having said this, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Yaoying, and saw that although her face was pale, she was not panicked, her face was calm, and she stood steadily without moving. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and went on.

"Before the king went into a coma, he asked me and several other people to dive out of the valley for help. The king also asked me to bring a message to Chang Shi, saying that the third and fourth princes were not credible."

Yaoying returned to the study and opened up the map to take a closer look.

The terrain along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is complicated. The Southern Chu, Wei Dynasty, and several separatist forces are intertwined. The location where Li Zhongqian fell is very close to Huangzhou occupied by the Southern Chu.

Xie Chao said that Li Zhongqian was seriously injured and unconscious, in a dangerous situation, with only dozens of soldiers around.

Nan Chu besieged them in the river valley. They could hardly fly with their wings, and could not hold on for a few days at all.

Perhaps even on the way back from Xie Chao, Li Zhongqian had an accident.

Yaoying remembered what he said before leaving.

He said that as long as he can come back alive, he doesn't care about surrendering.

It's easy to say, the situation on the battlefield is beyond his control, and he is already in a coma. Since Nan Chu pretended to be a water bandit, he probably didn't intend to stay alive.

After a while, Chang Shi hurriedly arrived, and he had already met Xie Chao.

Yaoying asked: "Which generals in the DPRK and China are credible?"

The long history hesitated to speak but stopped.

Yaoying frowned and glanced at him: "Uncle Hub, what did Brother explain?"

If he hadn't told Chang Shi how to deal with it in advance, why did Li Zhongqian Xie Chao go back to Beijing for help?

Chang Shi's lips trembled a few times, and the old tears burst into tears.

Yaoying was startled.

Chang Shi wiped the corner of his eyes and sobbed: "Princess, there is no credible general in the court! The king asked Xie Chao to come back for help, not to let the old slave run for him, but to remind the old slave..."

Yaoying squeezed her fingers: "Remind you what?"

Chang Shi raised his sleeve and wiped his tears: "The king said, if he sends his soldiers back to Beijing, he will remind the old slave to **** you away. The farther you go, the better, and you can't delay it for a moment!"

The bitterness that was finally suppressed roared down like a sea tide, and Yaoying could hardly bear it. She shook her body twice and barely stood firm by relying on the book case.

There is no fallback.

There is no trick.

There are no allies.

Xie Chao's rushing for thousands of miles was not to ask for help, but to ensure that she could escape faster and hide farther before the news of his death was sent back to the capital.

This is the only thing that Li Zhongqian kept in mind before being poisoned and losing consciousness.

Yaoying gritted her teeth, raised her face, and swallowed back the tears that almost came out of her eyes.

Now is not the time for sadness, Li Zhongqian's life is on the eve of the day, she has to find a way to save him, the longer the delay, the less hope is.

Yaoying rolled out the paper and wrote a letter.

Chang Shi cried and said, "Princess, now you really have to go... The king has sent Xie Chao back. If you don't leave, if something happens, how can the old slave explain to the king?"

Yaoying's writing hand has been trembling, "I write a few letters for help, you send someone out, let them take the token and ride the best horse in the house."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Chang Shi nodded crying, and when she finished writing the letter, he immediately asked Jian Pu to send it out separately.

In the afternoon, Xie Qing got the first reply.

Yaoying immediately took the letter and opened it. After reading it, she sighed in disappointment.

She continued to wait.

Several companies responded to letters one after another, a few did not reply, and a few others saw the imperial mansion’s resignation, and immediately closed the door and refused to accept the letter.

Yaoying opened the envelope and replied, her face getting paler and paler.

There were only some comforting words in the letter. Li Zhongqian was a confidant of the Prince of East Palace, and no one dared to lend a helping hand.

Chang Shi quietly wiped tears.

Xu Biao counted the number of guards in the mansion and asked Yaoying to fight: "We were all stubborn people who used to run the rivers and lakes. The king didn't care about our origin and gave us a future. Now the king is in trouble, we can't just sit there."

Chang Shi quickly wiped away his tears: "No, you are the king who stayed to protect the princess! You are gone, who will protect the princess?"

Xu Biao choked, speechless.

After reading the last reply, Yaoying walked to the courtyard outside and looked up at the sky.

The people of Nanchu were proficient in poisoning. Li Zhongqian was first hit by a poisoned arrow and then slashed. Now he is surrounded by a lot of threats. If he delays for a moment, his hope of surviving will be diminished.

She can't wait.

Long Stone said: "What if we go to the Lord? Will the Lord send someone to save the King?"

Yaoying shook her head.

Of course Li De will send troops, but will the people he sends save Li Zhongqian?

There are Zhao Tong, the third princes, the fourth princes, and the Nanchu people who are stubbornly attacking. In the rear are the generals who dare not offend Li Xuanzhen. No matter who is sent to save Li Zhongqian, he only needs to delay for a day or two, and Li Zhongqian will undoubtedly die. .

Moreover, the front-line battle situation is complicated, and there must be internal responses from the Nanchu people in the Wei army. Even if the reinforcements really want to save Li Zhongqian, the three princes and the fourth princes will inevitably hinder them and undermine their rescue.

Chang Shi sobbed desperately: "Is there really no way at all?"

Yaoying raised her eyes, her black eyes flashed with determination.

"There is another way."

Everyone in front of the court looked up at her.

Yaoying stood in the cold twilight of summer and early autumn, her muscles were like first snow, her temples and hair were like lacquer, and her whole body was faintly halo.

"Get your horse, go to the East Palace."

Chang Shi, Xu Biao and other followers all stared in shock.

Only Xie Qing turned around silently and went to prepare a mount for Yaoying.

Before going out, Yaoying went back to her room to find something and put it in her sleeve.

Chang Shi chased up to the gate of the palace: "Princess, don't go to the East Palace. The East Palace and us are like fire and water. How can His Royal Highness save the king? You will only be humiliated by that Wei Ming."

Yaoying saddles her horse.

"Li Xuanzhen will promise to save people." She clenched the reins and kicked the horse's belly lightly, "because I know what he wants."

Wusunma spread all four hooves and rushed into the golden twilight.

It was late and late, and the drums that sounded from north to south echoed over the star-studded lifangs. The sunset glow burned and dyed the roofs and pavilions of the towering palace walls with a gorgeous rouge.

Xie Qing escorted Yaoying to the East Palace and handed over the sign.

The guard went in to report, and soon came out to reply, coldly saying: "His Royal Highness is not free, please come back, Princess."

Yaoying got off her horse and said, "I bother you to go in and tell me, I want to see the prince."

When the guard heard her voice, his momentum immediately weakened. He didn't dare to look at her again, and went in to report again. When he came out, he was followed by someone who was the maid of the princess Zheng Biyu.

The maid directly led Yaoying into the apse and said with a smile: "Your lord is a rare visitor, and the prince concubine is overjoyed to hear that you are here!"

Yaoying didn't say a word, and there was no expression on her face.

In the inner hall, Zheng Biyu knew that Yaoying was coming, so he hurriedly changed her outfit and greeted him in front of the gallery in person.

These days, she has been brooding about the events at the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony. After Pei Gong guaranteed Yaoying, she wrote to Yaoying to explain that she did not know at the time. Yaoying did not reply, and she was very disturbed.

Zheng Biyu knows that she and Yaoying are not the same, but she still doesn't want Yaoying to underestimate herself.

Seeing Yaoying's slim figure appearing beside the lotus pond from a distance, Zheng Biyu took two steps forward: "Why is Qiniang here at this time?"

Yaoying is straight to the point: "I want to see the eldest brother."

Zheng Biyu's face was embarrassed: "Qiniang... I know why you are here. Your Royal Highness will not see you."

At present, the Manchu dynasty civil and military, capital wealthy dignitaries do not want to see Li Yaoying, because they all know that she must be asking them to save Li Zhongqian.

No matter whether Li Zhongqian is alive or dead, no one will help, and they don't want to offend Li Xuanzhen.

The officials of the Eastern Palace were even more eager for Li Zhongqian to die in the south. Wei Ming has been trying to confirm the news of Li Zhongqian's death these days and delay the imperial court to send troops to rescue.

Li Yaoying came to see Li Xuanzhen at this time. How could Li Xuanzhen see her?

Yaoying stood under the thick ginkgo tree in front of the court, and said, "Sister-in-law is embarrassed. Aunt-in-law only needs to pass a message for me. I'll wait here."

Zheng Biyu sighed, and ordered the maidservant to pass a message: "Tell your majesty, the seventh princess ask to see you."

Not long after, the maid went and returned.

"Lady, Wei Changshi said that His Royal Highness is discussing important matters with Du Wei and the others, and there is no time to see guests."

Zheng Biyu looked at Yaoying guiltily: "Qiniang, you and I are both women in the house, and things on the battlefield are beyond our control. Don't be too sad, you can't tell me what's wrong."

Yaoying lowered her head, took out something from her sleeve and handed it to the maid.

"Excuse me, take this to the prince."

…

The front yard of the East Palace.

The inner hall was brightly lit, and Li Xuanzhen, Chang Shi Wei Ming, and Du Wei Qin Fei were discussing the matter.

As Zhu Luyun's marriage day got closer, Li Xuanzhen's face became more and more ugly, and his temper became more and more violent, but he still restrained himself and did not cut Chief Yelu with a single knife.

Qin Fei and the others kept chanting Buddhism in their hearts. Seeing Li Xuanzhen absent-minded, knowing that he was upset about Zhu Luyun's affairs every day, they dared not remind him aloud.

The handmaid's voice suddenly came from outside the window, saying that it was the Seventh Princess begging to see her.

Qin Fei exchanged a surprised look at each other: I heard that the seventh princess had been running for the second prince recently. She had nowhere to ask, and in the end she broke the jar and begged the prince to come?

Wei Ming blinked twice, walked to the door and berated the servant girl.

The lady of the court turned and left, and returned after a short while, delivering something wrapped in a Jinpa: "His Royal Highness, the Seventh Princess said that there is something please be sure to check it out. If you don't look at it, she will just wait."

There were two bright lights in Wei Ming's eyes.

Without waiting for him to take a closer look at the things in the palace maid's hands, Li Xuanzhen raised her head, her expression gloomy, waved her hands, and said calmly, "You go out first."

Wei Ming had to quit with Qin Fei and the others.

The maid sent Jinpa to Li Xuanzhen.

There was a bright candle in the room.

Li Xuanzhen twisted her brows lightly and opened the Jinpa.

In the flickering candlelight, a rough, obsolete clay figure lying quietly on the table.

Li Xuanzhen's eyes were gloomy, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to melt into the boundless quiet night.

"What did Princess Seven say?"

He asked, his voice hoarse.

The palace lady bowed and said: "Seventh Princess said, A Yue has been waiting."

As soon as the voice fell, with a loud bang, Li Xuanzhen suddenly furious, pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall, cut it down with a sword, and smashed the clay figure in Jinpali to pieces.

The lady of the palace was frightened, her knees softened, and she knelt on the ground.

Li Xuanzhen looked gloomy, staring at the scattered fragments in front of the table for a long time, and pulled out his leg out of the front yard, still carrying the long sword that was sharpened like mud.

In the gradually rising night, the sword tip flashed with cold light.

The maids and servants on the road saw Li Xuanzhen in anger, shivering with fright, and avoided them.

Li Xuanzhen walked into the inner courtyard, and there were people in front of the corridor. Li Yaoying stood in front of the steps, raised her head, and looked over.

His eyes are calm.

It is these eyes, when they smile, they are a pair of crescents, when they are not smiling, they are peach petals, which makes people unable to tire her.

Li Xuanzhen strode over and raised the sword in her hand.

The maid in front of the court was shocked, and stood blankly, not daring to move.

Zheng Biyu opened his eyes wide, almost screamed, and stood in front of Yaoying, whispering: "Dalang! You are crazy! Qiniang is your sister!"

Li Xuanzhen stepped forward, Junxiu's face was clouded with gloomy anger in his eyes.

Zheng Biyu had never seen him like this before and stayed for a while.

In the silent confrontation, Yaoying also stepped forward.

She raised her head, looked at Li Xuanzhen, met his cold gaze, and whispered, "Big Brother Changsheng."

Li Xuanzhen looked at her coldly, her eyes like a knife.

Yaoying didn't seem to see the sword pointed at her in Li Xuanzhen's hand, "Brother Changsheng, A Yue wants to make a deal with you."
