The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

Rongcheng, Yizhou Wangfu.

The Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyelids slightly, reclining on the soft slump, her armoured hands caressing the white cat in front of her bosom lightly and leisurely.

Two maids stood beside a gilded flower pot filled with ice in the house, each of them gently shook a large palace fan with delicate patterns in their hands, and fanned the cool air coming out of the ice into the house. .

Empress Dowager Xiao on the couch did not see any stretch between her brows, and her face became more and more heavy.

And the empress dowager's reluctance at the moment is not only because Yizhou is more hot than Shangjing, but also because Xia Ying is reporting a series of news to her.

After Xia Ying finished speaking, she bowed to the side of Queen Mother Xiao, raised her hand and pinched her shoulders and arms for her.

The Empress Dowager Xiao slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of sternness, and she opened her mouth with a cool tone:

"Liang Wang, this waste, can't do anything with such a good opportunity."

The movement of Xia Ying's hand paused for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly:

"The Queen Mother, the Pingxi Army and the Lingnan Frontier Army are pressing on the two major gates of Yizhou respectively, and they are aggressive. I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time to attack Yizhou."

"Queen Mother, do you want to make plans earlier?"

Empress Dowager Xiao did not immediately respond to Xia Ying's words, but closed her eyes again.

After a while, the Queen Mother Xiao spoke slowly:

"The prosperity of Daxia Fan Town is only in Yangzhou and Yizhou."

"Yizhou has fertile fields and rich people, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and there are no barren years. It is a country of abundance."[1]

"Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it can be hindered by the dangers of mountains and rivers. It is not a problem to defend it for the past ten years and eight years."

"However, the political situation in Daxia may not be able to maintain stability and no fluctuations for decades. Today's Daxia has just experienced two major wars between the north and the south, so how can you care about Yizhou."

"The pressure of the two armies is probably just a statement of Yizhou's independence, a bluff."

Although the Empress Dowager Xiao said these words in a calm tone and seemed to be quite sure inside and out, Xia Ying knew that the Empress Dowager did not know whether the army would invade Yizhou or not.

In the past few days, Song Yin, the princess of Yizhou, has repeatedly proposed that the Queen Mother Xiao go to Chicheng Mountain, which is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from Rongcheng, but a one-day drive away to escape the summer, but the Queen Mother Xiao refused.

Xia Ying understands that the Queen Mother is not afraid of the heat, just because the heavily guarded Yizhou palace is safer than Chicheng Mountain.

Xia Ying felt a little uneasy in her heart, maybe His Royal Highness would still have room for the Queen Mother, but that Crown Princess Qin Yan was a ruthless master who didn't recognize her six relatives...

------

Afraid of what is coming, a report suddenly came from outside, saying that there was an emergency military situation.

Xia Ying walked out quickly, and after a while, Xia Ying came back and said urgently to the Queen Mother Xiao:

"The Queen Mother, Jianmen Pass and Tang Pass were both breached last night, and the Pingxi Army and Lingnan Army have entered Yizhou from the North Road and the East Road."

The Queen Mother Xiao suddenly sat up from the couch when she heard the words, but her waist was torn by the sudden movement, and she cried out in pain:

"Ouch..."

Xia Ying immediately stepped forward to support the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Xiao only slightly eased the discomfort of her body, and then spoke sharply:

"Command Song Qingfeng and Kou Huai to fight the enemy with all their might!"

"If you lose a city from the two of them, let them bring their heads to this palace!"

Xia Ying immediately went out to explain the Queen Mother's instructions to the messenger. When Xia Ying came back, she heard the Queen Mother's voice resounding in the room again.

"Jianmen Pass and Tang Pass are both powerful and dangerous passes, but the two major passes were attacked at the same time. This is definitely not a coincidence."

"A traitor has appeared in Yizhou!"

What the Queen Mother Xiao said was also Xia Ying's guess.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xia Ying and said coldly:

"Let Ye Yi find out for this palace who is so bold and dare to betray this palace!"

Xia Ying was ordered to go out.

Ye Yi is the chief helmsman of Huayuelou, and is very good at gathering intelligence. With him at work, it shouldn't take too long to find out the traitor.

------

Yizhou Northland, Yuncheng.

After the commander Song Qingfeng quickly issued a series of orders to his subordinates, he walked towards the dungeon with a sullen face.

Jianmen Pass was breached last night, but fortunately, the roads leading from Jianmen Pass to Yizhou were all narrow and difficult to navigate, and most of them were plank roads.

Therefore, even if Song Qingfeng's people fought hastily and retreated all the way, they still took advantage of the terrain to stop the Pingxi Army at a position not far from the gate.

The Northwest Pingxi Army is indeed as powerful as the rumors say, and it is unstoppable. How can these sergeants in Yizhou who have not been on the battlefield for a long time be the opponents of the Pingxi Army.

Although Song Qingfeng's men slowed down the pace of the Pingxi Army's entry into Yizhou, the military newspapers that were continuously sent back to Yuncheng showed that the number of casualties of the Yizhou Army was rising.

Song Qingfeng's heart is getting heavier and heavier, this is not the way to go.

However, he lost the Jianmen Pass, which he should have been able to hold easily, but it was because of his own problems, which made Song Qingfeng both shocked and angry.

Even if they can stop the Pingxi Army this time, they will still be held accountable by the Empress Dowager Xiao in Rongcheng.

Not long after, Song Qingfeng entered the dark and damp dungeon.

In front of Song Qingfeng was a young man with his hands tied and hanging on the rack.

This man was Song Qingfeng's lieutenant general and his most capable and most valued subordinate, Shen Hong.

Song Qingfeng frowned and looked at Shen Hong, and said coldly:

"You go out first."

"Yes, General."

With his head down, Shen Hong's eyelids moved, but there was no other reaction, as if he had lost all his physical strength after being severely punished.

After the others went out one after another, only Song Qingfeng and Shen Hong were left in the cell. Song Qingfeng took a few steps closer to Shen Hong, and asked in a slightly suppressed voice:

"Did Song Yin let you do this?"

Shen Hong didn't answer, and still didn't make any movement, but Song Qingfeng didn't miss what he said just now, the veins on the back of Shen Hong's hand seemed to stretch for a moment.

Song Qingfeng had an answer in his heart.

It should be his daughter, Song Yin.

Only her daughter Song Yin could bribe at the same time the people from the northern army in Yizhou and the people from the Kou Huai army, the defender of Tangguan in the east.

If it is Song Yin, Song Qingfeng can also guess the purpose of her actions.

It was Ye Qinghe, the king of Yizhou.

It's not that Song Yin didn't talk to his father Song Qingfeng about Ye Qinghe's discord with her husband and wife, and Song Yin even asked Song Qingfeng to help her reconcile. But how could Song Qingfeng agree? At that time, he only thought that it was the young couple arguing and fighting at the end of the bed, and he didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Song Yin would be so decisive.

Song Qingfeng looked at Shen Hong and continued:

"These days, only Song Yin has communicated with you occasionally. In order to avoid suspicion, you even show me the letter frankly every time."

"I don't know how you secretly communicated news, but you are so bold, you know the consequences of this."

At the beginning, Shen Hong was even Song Qingfeng's best son-in-law candidate, and Song Qingfeng also knew that Shen Hong had always been interested in Song Yin, but Song Yin was chosen as the prince concubine of Ye Qinghe, who was still the prince at the time. And all these years, Shen Hong has not been married, Song Qingfeng knows his heart knot, is his daughter.

Therefore, Song Qingfeng has no doubt that Shen Hong will obey Song Yin's words.

At this moment, Shen Hong slowly raised his head, looked at Song Qingfeng who frowned, and said weakly:

"General, Song Yin is in the Yizhou palace, there is only pain."

"She said there was not a day when she didn't want to run away from that disgusting place."

"Why didn't the general help Song Yin to be free?"

When Song Qingfeng came out of the dungeon, the last sentence Shen Hong said to him kept echoing in his mind:

"General, is it worth killing and injuring so many innocent brothers for the personal benefit of the Queen Mother Xiao?"

Song Qingfeng really felt that it was not worth it. His soldiers were not defending the family and the country, but just fell victim to the game of the court. It was really worthless!

After returning to the conference hall, Song Qingfeng immediately issued a military order:

"Withdraw all the sergeants and retreat to Yuncheng."

His soldiers were the soldiers of the people of Yizhou, not the soldiers of the Empress Dowager Xiao alone.

Song Qingfeng's people no longer stick to the key points. If the Pingxi Army wants to attack the city, the soldiers will fight to the death and defend the city to the death.

But if the Pingxi Army just passed by and pointed at the Empress Dowager Xiao in Rongcheng, it would have nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, after Song Qingfeng's people retreated to Yuncheng City, the Pingxi Army did not attack the city, but quickly marched towards Rongcheng. Similarly, the Pingxi Army did not disturb the towns along the road.

Song Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the purpose of the Pingxi Army is indeed likely to be the Empress Dowager Xiao of Rongcheng.

It's just that I hope my daughter Song Yin can protect herself and don't have an accident.

------

To the west of Yizhou is the continuous high mountains, the ravines and the rushing rivers, few people, not even a decent road.

And it is precisely because the road is blocked that Yizhou never considers placing heavy troops on defense here, because there will be no large army that can pass through here and enter Yizhou.

But at this time, in the belly of the Baishui River in the west of Yizhou, there were quietly lurking about 20,000 elite soldiers who had just arrived here.

Shen Ying reported the news to Qin Yan who was sitting on a shady rock with her eyes closed and resting:

"Master, the Pingxi Army and the Lingnan Army have entered Yizhou."

Qin Yan opened his eyes, the tired look in the phoenix eyes disappeared instantly, only firmness and chill.

Qin Yan coldly ordered:

"Do it."

Shen Ying immediately took orders to arrange it.

Qin Yanfu closed her eyes and sat silently for a while. She seemed to wonder if she had been out of energy recently.

An hour later, the group killed the few defenders in the western part of Yizhou, and then quickly entered Yizhou and went straight to Rongcheng, where the Yizhou Wangfu was located.

------

At the same time, the five or six thousand people who had been hiding in the mountains in the southern part of Yizhou for many days also set off immediately and entered Yizhou after receiving the news from the territory of Yizhou.

And their leader was Fengsui King Ning, who was supposed to be in Qingzhou.

After getting the news that the Empress Dowager Xiao left Beijing and went to Yizhou to declare independence, Ning Wang Fengsui has not been able to stop the restlessness in his blood for a day.

Feng Sui knew that what he couldn't hold back in his body was the blood that yearned for revenge, the blood that recovered old debts for his mother and himself!

And whether it's the battle on the border of Daxia, or the seizure of power by King Liang in the territory, why do you have to do with him?

With his little family background, there is no such strength that can compete with the powerful prince Feng Zhan to win the throne.

After the Lingnan war began, Ning Wangfeng immediately took people from Lingnan to the southern border of Yizhou, and secretly lurked, waiting for the opportunity.

King Ning's people did not enter Yizhou rashly, and even if they did, they would be surrounded and suppressed very quickly.

Until today, the situation in Yizhou has changed abruptly. The two major gates of Yizhou were breached, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. This was the perfect time.

------

The news that two unidentified troops entered Yizhou from the west and south of Yizhou, and went straight to Rongcheng, soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned. She had some guesses in her mind as to who would come, and immediately ordered the remaining 50,000 soldiers in Rongcheng to close the city gates, guard them strictly, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

And where are the reinforcements in Rongcheng?

Qin Yan's people encountered some obstacles along the way, and when they reached Rongcheng, it was the evening of the next day.

When Qin Yan was standing on a slightly higher **** not far from Rongcheng, looking towards the city wall, Shen Ying came to report:

"Master, King Ning invites Master to see you."

Qin Yan frowned, King Ning?

When Ning Wang Fengsui stepped on the slope, he saw at a glance a beautiful woman standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, her body covered with a layer of soft pale gold.

Feng Sui paused in his footsteps, his heart stagnant.

After a while, Feng Suicai continued to lift and walk to a position ten feet away from Qin Yan and stopped.

Qin Yan glanced sideways at Ning Wangfeng and casually retracted his gaze, but did not speak.

Feng Sui also turned to look at the direction Qin Yan was looking at, and that was the destination of his trip, Rongcheng.

After a while, Qin Yan heard a man's deep voice beside him.

"Prince Concubine, do you know that this Rongcheng has another interesting name?"

Qin Yan didn't look back, just replied in a low voice:

"Rongcheng used to have many names. I wonder which one King Ning is talking about?"

Qin Yan once used the pretense of finding the whereabouts of his mother Shen Shiying to travel all over the land inside and outside Daxia, including Yizhou of course. Qin Yan has also heard of strange things in various places.

Her Yu Qingfeng also had a semicolon in Yizhou, but after Empress Dowager Xiao arrived in Yizhou, Yu Qingfeng's people quickly evacuated.

Sure enough, when Empress Dowager Xiao arrived in Yizhou, someone seized Yu Qingfeng, but the building was already empty.

Ning Wang Fengsui originally just casually brought up a topic to open up the conversation with Qin Yan. Unexpectedly, Qin Yan really took over.

In his heart, Feng Suiyi hoped to spend more time with Qin Yan. As for the content of the small talk, it doesn't matter, he opened his mouth and said slowly:

"When Rongcheng was built in the early days, the city wall was broken several times."

"Yizhou has believed in witchcraft since ancient times. A wizard proposed to use a thousand-year-old tortoise to crawl on the land where the city wall was to be built, and then use the tortoise's crawling route to build the city wall."

"Although this method sounds absurd, in the end, the city wall built according to this method can be built smoothly, and there has been no collapse."

"In the following years, Rongcheng has been repaired several times, but the city wall has remained in its previous location without any changes."

"And the city wall of Rongcheng is what it looks like now. It is not square and tidy, nor is it the north-south direction of the usual city-building, but slightly turtle-shaped."

"Therefore, from this name, Rongcheng is also known as 'Turtle City'."

Qin Yan had heard of this allusion, and the origin of "Turtle City" may also be because the wet soil and soft soil in Rongcheng made it difficult to build a city. 【2】

Qin Yan lifted her lips and said casually:

"King Ning has lived in Wanning Temple for a long time, but I didn't expect to be so knowledgeable."

Feng Sui did not accept Qin Yan's half-truth test, but opened his mouth to say the purpose of his trip:

"You and I can work together to enter the city."

"Our goals are not conflicting. You don't bring many people. My people can be used as help, and you and I can reduce losses and increase the odds of winning."

Qin Yan turned his head and looked at him.

If she guessed correctly, King Ning's purpose is Empress Dowager Xiao.

Qin Yan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

------

But Qin Yan didn't plan to forcibly attack the city, and Feng Sui didn't ask Qin Yan what he was waiting for.

Qin Yan's actions have always been a hit, and since Feng Sui chose to cooperate with Qin Yan, he would not doubt her judgment.

At the time of Xu, Shen Ying came to report:

"Master, after Gu Gongzi's people entered Yizhou from Tangguan, they encountered a fierce confrontation with the Yizhou army in Jiangcheng, and I don't know when they will reach Rongcheng."

"And the people of General Shen Ci are relatively smooth, and the Pingxi Army will arrive here tomorrow."

Qin Yan looked in the direction of Rongcheng. At this time, it was already dark, and there were all kinds of unknowns in the dark night.

If there is an accident in the city without taking action, then the city will really have to be attacked, and then the loss will be even greater.

Over the years, Qin Yan has often trusted his own intuition when faced with choices with insufficient known information, and the results have confirmed that he happened to avoid risks every time.

So this time, the same is true.

After a stick of incense, Qin Yan said:

"Signal, start tonight."

Shen Ying immediately took the order and left.

------

That night, the Queen Mother Xiao had been restless on the couch and woken up several times.

Zichu, Empress Dowager Xiao sat up and called to the outside world:

"Xia Ying."

Xia Ying was vigil for the queen mother outside, and she sat down on a chair to rest. She heard the words and came in immediately.

"The queen mother."

Empress Dowager Xiao reached out and rubbed her forehead, and asked:

"Ye Yi hasn't come back yet?"

"Back to the queen mother, Ye Yi hasn't returned yet."

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, did something happen to Ye Yi?

An hour ago, Ye Yixiang reported the name of the person he found to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao was shocked and angry, but it was her?

Princess Yizhou, Song Yin!

This woman has been very obedient to the Queen Mother Xiao since the first day the prince entered Yizhou, and also helped the Queen Mother Xiao to seize power from the king of Yizhou, Ye Qinghe.

Empress Dowager Xiao could see that Song Yin was a bit careful, but it was normal for a woman to have scheming, but Empress Dowager Xiao did not expect that Song Yin would use scheming on her.

It seems that even Song Yin's repeated suggestion to let the Queen Mother Xiao go to Chicheng Mountain to escape the summer may just be a trap.

Song Yin!

Empress Dowager Xiao was furious and ordered Song Yin to be killed at night.

But Ye Yi didn't come back for a long time. Did something change happen?

------

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Xia Ying hurried out.

After a while, Xia Ying quickly came back and said:

"The queen mother, a thief has invaded Rongcheng, and now she has entered the palace. The queen mother quickly gets up and leaves with the slave family."

At this time, the increasingly noisy screams of killing could be heard outside, and the Queen Mother Xiao immediately got up and asked Xia Ying to wait for her to change clothes.

The sound of fighting soon rang out the door, Xia Ying protected the queen mother, and when the two looked at the door vigilantly, the door was kicked open with a bang.

The beautiful woman who appeared at the door made Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes widen.

is her!

Crown Princess, Qin Yan!

------

Half an hour ago, Princess Song Yin of Yizhou received news from Qin Yan.

Princess, has she finally arrived?

After arranging for his subordinates to meet Qin Yan and his party, Song Yin sorted out his mood and went to Yeqinghe, the king of Yizhou.

Song Yin went to the door of Ye Qinghe's room and left the guards, only that she and the prince had some private things to do, and the guards left in embarrassment.

When Song Yin entered Ye Qinghe's room, Ye Qinghe was sleeping peacefully. Seeing Ye Qinghe's peaceful sleeping face, Song Yin suddenly felt jealous.

Although Ye Qinghe, the king of Yizhou, was placed under house arrest, he didn't show any signs of depression. He should eat, sleep, and look neat. Apart from not being able to leave the room, it seems to be the same as before, and it seems that whether the rights are being vacated or not has nothing to do with him.

Song Yin sneered in his heart that Ye Qinghe was the blessing of the old king of Yizhou. Even if he didn't have much talent, he could make Yizhou continue to be prosperous and prosperous for many years only by relying on the team and the policies formulated by the old king of Yizhou. .

And she has never had such a steady and stable sleep for many years, but Ye Qinghe, the initiator of all this, can have such sweet dreams every day with such peace of mind, why does he, why!

Song Yin leaned over and slapped Ye Qinghe awake.

Ye Qinghe quickly got up with his face covered, and looked at Song Yin who was smiling slightly in front of the bed with a look of surprise.

Is this woman crazy?

Without waiting for Ye Qinghe to question, Song Yin spoke slowly:

"Ye Qinghe, I put the Pingxi Army and the Lingnan Army into Yizhou. The Crown Princess Qin Yan's people should soon enter the palace, and you will soon be able to witness the fall of Yizhou and the fall of your Yizhou palace. , are you looking forward to it?"

After Song Yin finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

Ye Qinghe froze in his heart, immediately got up and strode towards Song Yin, and asked:

"what are you saying?"

Just as Song Yin was about to turn back, the door was violently pushed open.

That person is a close confidant of the Queen Mother Xiao, Ye Yi.

Ye Yi acted neatly and without any nonsense. He raised his sword and stabbed at Song Yin. Song Yin hurriedly avoided, and this sword actually pierced the chest of Ye Qinghe, the king of Yizhou.

Ye Yi frowned, but he just ignored the order given to him by the queen mother, and immediately drew his sword and walked towards Song Yin quickly.

Song Yin, who had just run to the door, was blocked by Ye Yi's sword. Song Yin immediately pulled out the soft sword from his waist and fought with Ye Yi.

After fighting for a long time, Ye Yi was slashed by Song Yin's soft sword, and the blood was pouring out in an instant, and he died of blood loss not long after.

And Song Yin couldn't get any better, and she was also hurt all over. Two swords were hit in the back, especially the one in the abdomen, which was the most deadly, and blood flowed out one after another.

Song Yin sat down weakly against the wall. She turned her head and saw that Ye Qinghe's eyes were still wide open, a large pool of blood was flowing from the sword wound on his chest, and he seemed to have lost his breath.

Song Yin leaned against the wall behind him, closing his eyes and breathing heavily. She felt that her physical strength was rapidly draining, and she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.

However, the palace was in chaos because of the invasion of thieves, and no one cared about the imprisoned king of Yizhou.

Song Yin lifted his eyes with difficulty, then glanced at Ye Qinghe again, and finally dropped his hands and fell to the ground.

Ye Qinghe may not know until his death that his concubine named Song Yin has liked him since childhood, and even dreamed of becoming his wife.

Song Yin's love for Ye Qinghe gradually turned into resentment and hatred after being hurt by Ye Qinghe again and again.

But Song Yin's last look at Ye Qinghe was relieved, or something else, only she knew...

------

At the moment in the Yizhou palace, there is another place that no one cares about, the yard of the daughter of Mrs. Yan, the former prince's favorite.

When the wet nurse and the maids heard the robbery outside, they packed up and ran away, leaving a little girl crying in the cradle.

Not long after, a group of masked men in black came in quickly.

"Are you sure it's this kid?"

"It should be right, there is only one baby girl in the Yizhou Wangfu, that is Mrs. Yan's child."

"Well, send a letter to Lord Hou, saying that the young lady is safe and will return to Beijing soon."

The group took the baby girl and left quickly.

------

Empress Dowager Xiao felt a chill in her heart when she saw Qin Yan's dignified appearance outside her room.

Has all his own people been solved by Qin Yan?

Xia Ying looked sharply at Qin Yan who walked into the house step by step, stretched out her arms to protect the queen mother behind her, but the queen mother Xiao spoke coldly:

"Xia Ying, get out of the way."

Xia Ying turned back suspiciously. After Queen Mother Xiao said "Get out of the way", Xia Ying retreated to her side one step away from Queen Mother Xiao, but his eyes on Qin Yan were still sharp and vigilant.

Empress Dowager Xiao was proud of her whole life, and she probably didn't want to show any softness to Qin Yan at this moment.

However, Qin Yan didn't care.

Qin Yan and Empress Dowager Xiao both looked at each other with sharp eyes and cold eyes. Qin Yan suddenly thought that she and Empress Dowager Xiao had never had a formal conversation.

So, today is the first and last time.

Qin Yan looked at Empress Dowager Xiao, and said softly:

"When Empress Dowager Xiao sent someone to kill my mother and me, did she ever think that today would come?"

The Queen Mother Xiao pursed her lips tightly and did not answer Qin Yan's question. Of course, Qin Yan didn't want an answer either.

When Qin Yan turned around and was about to leave, the Queen Mother Xiao suddenly said sharply behind him:

"Qin Yan, don't be too complacent. The me now is the you in the future, and you are destined to follow in my footsteps."

Qin Yan stopped and said sideways:

"My business, don't bother the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Xiao was about to open her mouth to say something else, when a tall and thin man in brocade walked past Qin Yan and entered the room.

It's him!

Xia Ying took a step to the side to protect Empress Dowager Xiao again.

King Ning didn't say much, but immediately recruited his subordinates and fought with Xia Ying.

Xia Ying's skills were excellent, but her fists were no match for four, and she was finally strangled to the ground by King Ning's men.

King Ning signaled to his subordinates again. After the subordinate nodded, he pulled the pale Empress Dowager Xiao and tied her hands and feet to a pillar in the house with thick ropes, and then tied the Empress Dowager's mouth with ropes. Prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

Feng Sui took two steps forward, walked to the front of Empress Dowager Xiao, and said coolly:

"Empress Dowager Xiao, once my mother-in-law was imprisoned by you in the imperial mausoleum and died. Today, you can also taste that feeling."

The Empress Dowager Xiao stared at King Ning in front of him, and stared at his face that was somewhat similar to that of the late emperor when he was young.

King Ning raised his hand, and his subordinates poured buckets of kerosene all over the house. Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to know what King Ning was going to do, and she struggled with the last of her strength.

At this moment, the Queen Mother Xiao realized that she was so close to death, and even when she saw Qin Yan, she was sure that Qin Yan would take care of the prince and would not really do anything to her.

But what about Qin Yan, where did Qin Yan go?

Qin Yan couldn't helplessly watch King Ning kill his own mother, the empress dowager, they were disrespectful!

King Ning watched with satisfaction the Queen Mother Xiao struggled uselessly. Back then, her mother was in the stone gate of the imperial mausoleum.

After King Ning stepped out of the door, his subordinate pushed an oil lamp in the house to the ground, the flames quickly burst, and then the door was pulled.

------

Outside the house, King Ning watched the flames rising higher and higher in the house through the crack of the door that was not closed. He was not happy, only a sense of relief.

After all, he killed the enemy who wanted his life, and he wanted his life, and he was also a poor man.

King Ning turned around, turned his back to the fire from the house behind him, and walked step by step to the beautiful woman in the courtyard who was looking in his direction.

When he was two steps in front of Qin Yan, King Ning stopped.

King Ning's eyes were fixed on Qin Yan's eyes, and he said slowly:

"You see, the royal family is so **** and dirty."

"The rest of my life is still very long. You will not be the only woman for the prince. There is a saying that the Queen Mother Xiao may be right, you will become the next her."

"Qin Yan, you should have a wider world, instead of being trapped in that high palace wall."

Qin Yan looked indifferent and did not respond to King Ning's remarks.

King Ning sighed softly, and then said goodbye:

"take care."

After King Ning and his party left Rongcheng, they headed south, but did not turn back to Qingzhou.

The subordinate asked in doubt:

"My lord, do you really want to leave?"

Ning Wang Fengsui understood the doubts and disapproval of his subordinates.

In Daxia, he was a prince with a fief after all, and after he left, everything had to start all over again.

But if he didn't leave, the things he did at the beginning, including sending assassins into the paddock, would kill him once he was found out by the prince.

What's more, Feng Sui also knew why Empress Dowager Xiao insisted on getting rid of his concubine and him.

Feng Sui had seen an imperial decree at the concubine's place, an imperial decree awarded to him by the father, it was an imperial decree from Yi Chu.

No matter whether the father is really dizzy or not, it is a fact that Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Hui can't tolerate him.

The father wanted Yi Chu, how could he be accommodated?

How could Prince Feng Zhan tolerate his uncle Wang, who had almost won the throne, to live under his nose.

And the missing imperial decree of Yi Chu, if it were to appear in the world, might shake the crown prince Feng Zhan's position, and it was also a reminder of his life.

He can only go.

------

The next day, the news that Empress Dowager Xiao and the King of Yizhou suddenly contracted a serious illness and died suddenly spread quickly throughout Yizhou.

The Yizhou army no longer resisted, and everyone knew that Yizhou was about to change.

Yizhou Wangfu.

Gu Junyan and Shen Ci from Pingnan Bofu finally arrived and joined Qin Yan who had taken Rongcheng first.

Shen Ying prepared a table of good wine and good dishes, and washed the dust for these masters.

Shen Ci filled several people with wine, picked up the wine cup, and said loudly:

"Come on, raise a glass to congratulate you."

Gu Junyan picked up the wine cup, but Qin Yan didn't move.

Qin Yan frowned slightly, looking at the black glaze cup filled with wine on the table, as if thinking about something.

Just as Shen Ci was about to persuade Qin Yan to drink again, Gu Junyan spoke first:

"Our two brothers drink, Yan Yan should be tired."

Shen Ci did not suspect him, and after clinking glasses with Gu Junyan, he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine cup.

When Gu Junyan put down the wine glass, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the flash of sadness in his eyes.

Qin Yan doesn't drink alcohol, is it because...

Shen Ci filled Gu Junyan with another cup and said:

"Jun Yan, I heard that you are engaged, will you get married after the national mourning?"

Gu Junyan glanced at Qin Yan who seemed to be still thinking, and then nodded to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci vigorously patted Gu Junyan's right shoulder and said with a smile:

"If I don't have any official duties at that time, I will go to Lingnan to give you a lot of fun."

At this time, Qin Yan had also recovered, and she could also hear the conversation of the other two people on the table.

Qin Yan looked at Gu Junyan with a light smile and said:

"Congratulations, when Jun Yan gets married, if I can't come, the ceremony will definitely be delivered."

Gu Junyan looked at Qin Yan, and there was a slightly reluctant arc on his lips.

------

After the banquet was over, Qin Yan was always absent. When she was waiting for Qin Yan to wash up and go to bed, Shen Ying suddenly thought of something, and said in a startled voice:

"Is the master's menstrual period delayed? It's too bad, Mr. Ji is not here, I forgot about it."

Shen Ying slapped her forehead, then snapped her fingers and started counting.

Before Shen Ying could count her master's days, Qin Yan's cold voice sounded.

"Let the medic come here."

Shen Ying walked out quickly.

An hour later, Qin Yan took a deep breath and placed one hand on his abdomen, feeling somewhat frightened.

It was only when her menstrual period was delayed that she realized that she was getting lethargic and lethargic recently, and her appetite was not very good. She almost thought it was due to fatigue from a long march.

You turned out to be pregnant?

That was in the Turkic time, that time in the lake?

Fortunately, the pulse is still stable now, and it seems that this child can still stand the toss.

Qin Yan instructed Shen Ying:

"Give Yishan a message, I have requisitioned his Wanxuezhai."

"Send someone to deliver a letter to Shenxi Valley, and ask Mr. Ji to go to Meishan immediately."

"Remember, don't leak the news."

Shen Ying took the lead, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

The master is pregnant!

They have a little master!
