The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 91 It's Too Late
Yingyang City, Qingyun Palace.

Bai Zixian almost jumped out of his chair when he saw the military report.

"Our lady is really...really..." He could hardly find any adjectives to praise Qin Wan's operations in Nanliang.

At this time, Qin Wan basically controlled all the military power in Nanliang, and in the court, the older generation of officials protected themselves wisely, and the new generation of officials were all supported by Si's cronies.In Nanliang Chaotang at this time, apart from Yuan Shen, there was nothing that could threaten Qin Wan's life.

Although Si Zhixing was still his official historian, except for recording the history of Nanliang, he said nothing in court, but his fourth daughter, Si Qi, was a man of the hour, with power even surpassing his father.

At this time, Nanliang had completely given up on the Northern Expedition, and settled down to the south of the Yangtze River, living a self-sufficient life.

And Ning Yi's side is fully prepared to go south and completely capture the entire Nanliang.

Qin Wan stood on the highest balcony of the palace and looked north, with a smile on his lips.

She followed the south wind and said, "Your Highness King Ning, Nanliang is already in turmoil. I'll wait for you to come and pick me up."

……

In August of the 15nd year of the Liang Kingdom, the Northern Rong Army set up troops from Yingyang City and divided them into land and water armies.On the water route, Lu Ziyi was the general, carrying a hundred warships, and a water force of 20 sailed down the river from Liyang; on land, Rou Ning also personally led an army of [-] to Nanyang and invaded Nanliang.

When the military newspaper arrived in Nanliang, Yuan Chen's cough became more serious.

Especially at night, he coughed unbearably and could hardly sleep.

The whooping cough was slightly relieved, and he could lean on Qin Wan's shoulder to sleep for a while, but after an hour, he would wake up again from the coughing and wheezing.

In this way, the military newspaper was blocked outside the Palace of Fenghua.

Qin Wan ordered that no one should disturb Yuan Chen's recuperation.As for the fight against Beirong, she directly let Liu Muge and Niu Chengwen lead the troops to figure it out.

The only thing she has to do now is to stay by Yuan Chen's side.

……

When there were cicadas singing outside the window, Yuan Chen had already started coughing up blood, and the bright red blood stains fell on Qin Wan's silk handkerchief, which was shocking.

Qin Wan had exhausted all the modern knowledge she knew, and made Qiuli Cream, Chuanbei Pipa Cream, Juhong Cream, Longjiao San... But Yuan Chen's cough was still getting worse day by day, leaving her helpless.

She even sent people to Maoshan, begging the Elder Yaogu to come to Nanliang, but the border was blocked, and the people who went to Maoshan returned without success.

Si Qi sat down on the ground in the hall of Fenghua Hall, looking at a military newspaper in his hand that reported the defeat of Nanliang, he was stunned at the table, not knowing what to do.

The front-line spies reported that Liu Muge didn't know how to lead troops at all. When fighting the Beirong army, he commanded indiscriminately, making the Nanliang army exhausted and unable to win at all.And Niu Chengwen is a guy who sees the wind and turns the rudder. Seeing that the general situation is gone, he directly voted for the Beirong Army, but was beheaded when he saw Ning Yi.

Bei Rong's army was in a state of invincibility. When the military report was sent again, Ning Yi's army and Lu Ziyi's navy had already converged in the suburb of Yuheng. The Nanliang army was defeated and surrendered as prisoners of war. Under the leadership of the veteran general, he protected Yuheng City and was determined to fight the Beirong Army to the death.

Only then did Si Qi realize that it turned out that not just casual people can go to the battlefield.

No matter how strong the power is, it is no match for the battlefield.

At this moment, Si Qi realized that what Tian Chen told her at that time was not alarmist talk, and also understood why Si Zhixing wanted to persuade her to restrain her edge. Her concubine Xianggui never wanted the title of queen and supreme power, but Bring down the entire Nanliang regime and pave a way for the Beirong army to come out.

At this moment, Qin Wan was standing on the porch of Fenghua Palace, calmly like a statue.

Recalling what he had done in the past six months, Si Qi's whole three views were shattered, and he didn't know what to believe for a while.

Qin Wan looked at her like this, smiled slightly and said, "Si Qi, just like what I told you at the beginning, I don't care about 'imperial power' and 'female virtue'. You are my favorite in Nanliang. Good girl, I want you to be my knife. Now is the time for you to choose to be loyal to Nanliang or to me, Qin Wan. Think carefully about the importance of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism that your father taught you in the sage books , or is it more important to be wise and protect yourself?"

Then Qin Wan said to Si Qi, Lie Hao and Fang Qing in a cold voice: "You'd better think about it right now. If I don't die, you are meritorious ministers. The only thing you can do now is to protect me alive to see you." Ning Yi. And if you choose to be loyal to Nanliang, you will only die."

The three of them looked at each other, just as Qin Wan said, if Qin Wan died, the three of them would have no chance of surviving, and they had to protect Qin Wan with all their might to have a chance of survival.

Fang Qing knelt on the ground: "Slave Fang Qing is willing to swear allegiance to the empress to the death."

Lie Xie also knelt down: "This subordinate Lie Xie swears to be loyal to the empress to the death."

Si Qi bit her lip, then moved her body to kneel in front of Qin Wan, kowtowed and said, "Si Qi, my servant, I wish to be the best knife in your mother's hand, and I will never hesitate to die."

Qin Wan smiled, walked into Fenghua Hall with sleeves thrown, and came to Yuan Chen's side.

Yuan Chen leaned on the bed, Qin Wan took out the Longjiao powder that he had prepared, poured it into Yuan Chen's throat with a small spoon.

"Do you feel better?" Qin Wan helped Yuan Chen lay down a soft pillow so that he could lean more comfortably.

Yuan Chen raised his hand to caress her cheek, and forced a smile: "It's better."

He was so thin that it made people feel distressed, his face was as pale as snow, and he couldn't see the color. Even in midsummer, he was still covered with heavy blankets.

"I was in poor health before, and I took a medicine called Earth Spirit Pill, and it is completely cured now." Qin Wan said, "It is said that there are four more of this medicine, and I have sent people to search for it in various parts of Kyushu. I believe it is very You will find it soon, and when you take that medicine, you will definitely be fine."

"Do you want me to get better in the evening?" Yuan Chen asked.

"Of course, otherwise, what am I doing so hard to make so many cough medicines?" Qin Wan's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in them, "I hope you are well, because besides letting you be well, I also There is nothing to... compensate you..."

"What does Wanwan want to make up for me? It's because I owe Wanwan too much, and I've been working hard to make up for my mistakes, not only to Wanwan, but also to the entire Daliang. I'm not a good king, I don't have the ability to govern the country, I have suffered from the people of Daliang, I have suffered civil and military affairs in the court, middle and full courts, and I have also suffered from the people around me... I have limited abilities, but I have made too many mistakes. I can only do my best to make up for Wanwan. It is the only thing I can do, and it is also a regret in my life. There is a little fill a vacancy……"

Qin Wan bit her lip: "Yuan Chen, I shouldn't have scolded you like that when we met, and I shouldn't have bit you so hatefully..." She pulled Yuan Chen's right hand and looked at the still clear teeth marks on it. The scars and the guilt in her chest wrapped around her heart like thorns, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.

Yuan Chen smiled and shook his head: "If you hadn't beaten, scolded and bited people, how could I suddenly wake up. I have a story I want to tell you, and I'm afraid that if you don't tell it, you will never know it."

"What story?" Qin Wan asked.

Yuan Shen spoke slowly: "I was born in the Yingyang Palace since I was a child, my mother and concubine died early, and my father doesn't seem to remember that there is such a son as me. After my father passed away, it was General Qin Buping who fought against the crowd. You help me ascend the throne. I still remember the day I ascended the throne, General Qin said that there was a young daughter in his family who was smart and intelligent since she was a child. When she was old, he sent her into the palace to be my bride. I made a mistake Too many things, I missed this little girl, and when I finally remembered it, I realized it was just like her name, it was 'too late'... Hehe, Wanwan, why do you think you have such a name? You changed your name to 'Zaozao', so we can meet earlier, on the day you enter the palace, or a day earlier than you enter the palace, we will meet each other, and then we will know each other, love each other, and stay together..."

"..." Qin Wan's tears fell from the corners of her eyes, this was the first time she cried for Yuan Chen.

She wanted to tell Yuan Chen that the real "Wanwan" had gone nowhere, maybe beside the Yellow Spring, maybe in front of the Sansheng Stone, maybe had crossed the River of Forgetfulness, crossed the Bridge of Naihe, and gone to the past... But she wanted Think or not say.

Yuan Chen raised his hand to wipe her tears, he smiled tiredly, with a hint of malice in the corner of his eyes: "Wanwan cried for me, so are you willing to sleep with me that night?"

Qin Wan froze suddenly, looking into Yuan Chen's eyes.

Of course he was joking, with his current body, not to mention intercourse, even activities that require a little physical strength, such as walking and eating, would make him cough profusely.

But Yuan Chen still looked into her eyes and asked forcefully, "Wanwan, do you want to?"
