Empress’ Conquest - C299 Persecution
Hearing Zheng Kui’s accusation, Li Ao Yu shook his head crazily, and his bloodthirsty eyes once again glared at Leng Ao Tian.
“No!”
I, the one who killed my royal father was not me! It was him! Leng Ao Tian! You will die a horrible death! ” Li Ao Yu’s ruthless shout concealed the fear and dread in his heart, it was impossible … Those people can’t be alive,
Perhaps it was because he was too excited that Leng Ao Tian was still alive, or perhaps he was too anxious that the truth was exposed. After a heart-wrenching howl, Li Ao Yu suddenly fainted.
“Your majesty?” Zheng Kui’s gaze turned towards Leng AoTian!
“Let me do it!” Looking at the unconscious Li Ao Yu, Luo Xin Ye truly realized that this man had nothing to pity him for!
After checking his pulse, Luo Jinye took out a silver needle and pierced it into two acupoints. Li Ao Yu suddenly opened his eyes!
“Your injuries do not harm your internal organs and you will not die. However, there is one thing that you will never have a son for the rest of your life! Even if I am to live, I will die alone! ” Luo Jingye turned around and walked over to Xu Bixuan’s side!
“You … “What did you say?!” Li Ao Yu looked at Luo Jin Ye in shock, his eyes were filled with astonishment!
“Did you not hear it?!” Li Aoyu! You will never have a son in your life! Alright, this time, it’s as you wish! Su Manhe’s child was killed by you! This is God’s punishment! You deserve it! ” Xu Bixuan angrily opened her mouth, the heavens were truly fair!
“No …” will not… I can’t do without a son… I still need someone to inherit my throne! All of you kneel down, and see that the Emperor is still kneeling! A bunch of random subjects and bandits! “Drag him out and behead him for me, men!” His black pupils suddenly dilated and his red eyes looked like they were about to bleed. Li Ao suddenly laughed until tears flowed from his eyes!
“Your majesty, he’s gone mad!” Luo Jinye said lightly!
“We have already decided, considering that he is a member of the royal family, let him die! General Zheng, throw this person out of the capital and kill him yourself! ” If Li Ao Yu wasn’t crazy at this moment, he should have experienced what it meant to live a life worse than death.
“Yes sir!” Zheng Kui accepted the order and sent someone to carry Li Ao Yu out! Watching Li Ao Yu’s leaving figure, Xu Bi Xuan suddenly thought of Su Qiang and Li Ao Yu … The heavens have treated you well. Even though you have committed many evil deeds, you still left a son! For your sake, I will never let anyone know that Su Qiang has a father like you. I believe this is also Su Manhe’s wish …
Walking out of the royal study, Yin Yuerong came straight to her face!
“Yuerong greets Lord Shu!”
“Are you here to look for Bi Xuan? You guys continue your conversation. I’ll head back to the Hall of Overlord with Jing Ye first. Oh right … Bi Xuan! “I …” Leng Ao Tian seemed to have thought of something, he turned to look at Xu Bi Xuan!
“I know …” Xu Bixuan smiled as she nodded her head!
Watching Leng AoTian and Luo Jinye leave, Xu Bixuan pulled Yin Yuerong over …
“Is there something on your mind?” Xu Bixuan seemed to see a trace of helplessness on Yin Yuerong’s face!
“Bi Xuan.” I’m going back to South Vietnam! He had just received a message from a flying pigeon, and Yu Yao was about to deliver it in half a month! I must go back! ” There was a hint of joy in the faint voice, but also a trace of worry.
“I understand! Come, let’s go to Yu faction and take a seat! ” Xu Bixuan led Yin Yuerong towards the Feather Pavilion!
Returning to the Feather Pavilion, Xu Bixuan instructed Senior Servant Feng and Little An to wait outside while she brought Yin Yuerong to the inner room.
“Yuerong, take a seat first!” Xu Bixuan turned around, took out an imperial edict from the edge of the bed, and handed it over to Yin Yuerong!
“This is the imperial edict!” From now on, you are no longer the Grand Imperial Concubine, but the empress dowager of the Southern Yue! ” Xu Bixuan’s eyes sparkled. Even though she had already known about this, she was still happy for Yin Yuerong!
“Thank you …” Bi Xuan. “Thank you!” Yin Yuerong gripped the imperial edict tightly, her eyes brimming with tears. This way, she would be able to sit as the Northern and Southern empress dowager!
“Moon… Have you thought about Xia Hou Ming Xuan? ” Xu Bixuan slowly sat beside Yin Yuerong. It would be easy to return to the south, but it would be too difficult to leave! Xu Bixuan didn’t want Yin Yuerong to give up on her fated relationship with Xia Hou Mingxuan!
“I don’t know …” Bi Xuan … I really don’t know how to choose! But right now, I can only return to the Southern Yue. I can’t let Yu Yao worry about me! She’s going to be in labor soon, and won’t be able to receive any stimulation! ” Yin Yuerong frowned. Last night, Xia Hou Mingxuan seemed to be begging her to return to Jingguo with him. They would go to the Plum Blossom Forest after he resigned from the post of general! But she did not answer!
“Yeah, I agree that you should go back, but what about after?” What happened after Yu Yao gave birth? Do you want to forget about Ming Xuan? Just pretend that nothing happened? ” Xu Bixuan could see what Yin Yuerong was thinking in her heart. In the end, she couldn’t bear to part with her daughter.
“I… I don’t know… “Let nature take its course …” Yin Yuerong answered weakly. If she went back to the Southern Yue, could she still leave …
Seeing Yin Yuerong’s endless hesitation, Xu Bixuan knew that she couldn’t bear to part with her daughter, Xia Hou Mingxuan. If she had to choose, it wouldn’t be easy!
“Yuerong, since your return to the Southern Yue has already become a foregone conclusion, don’t think too much about it! Go back and visit Yu Yao. You haven’t seen her for months! When do you plan to leave? ” As for what happened next, she would naturally arrange it for Yin Yuerong!
“Tomorrow, Bi Xuan, I really miss Yu Yao. It was so hard for me to go from the Great Shu Palace to the Southern Yue, it was all for Yu Yao! “If you want me to give up, I can’t do it …” Even if she had to betray Xia Hou and Mingxuan, she could only sigh helplessly.
“Hm!” Also, the internal strife of Great Shu has ended. We will definitely repay the kindness of South Vietnam for aiding two hundred thousand soldiers! When the political situation in Great Shu is stable, I will naturally go with Ao Tian to the Southern Yue to express my thanks! ” Xu Bixuan’s eyes lit up. She couldn’t bear to part with Yin Yuerong now!
“Bi Xuan … Take good care of Ao Tian! We can all see that he has really put his heart into you! To depose the entire imperial harem is sufficient proof of his sincerity! ” Yin Yuerong said with a faint smile.
“I know… Think about how quickly time flies! “I still remember that the first time we met was at Jingde Palace. At that time, you covered your mouth and kept it hidden, neither fighting nor stealing and you left a deep impression on me …” When they parted, they loved to reminisce. Xu Bihua looked at Yu Gui and could not help but wipe away a trace of a smile!
“Bi Xuan … Do you remember … ” Yin Yuerong looked worriedly at Xu Bixuan!
“Yes …” Snowflake … I really miss her… I don’t know why, but I always felt like she didn’t die … “That feeling is very mysterious …” Xu Bixuan lowered her beautiful eyes, her pupils filled with a layer of mist. If possible, she also wanted to see her daughter marry and have a child …
“Perhaps it’s just like you said, Xue Xian is still alive, in a certain corner, she was adopted by a wealthy family, living a life free from worldly strife. I heard from Chu Jian that when they were trying to take care of the little princess’ guard, he was already dead, but they did not see the child’s corpse, so that means she’s still alive!” You still have hope! ” Yin Yuerong comforted him. She didn’t rule out the possibility, but the chances of finding one were zero!
“Yeah …” If we were fated to meet, we would definitely meet again! “I firmly believe that …” Xu Bixuan’s eyes flashed with determination! She believed that her daughter was still alive. She believed that there would be a day when they would be reunited …
It was already late in the night. After Xu Bixuan had sent Yin Yuerong off, she had ordered Senior Servant Feng to invite Xia Hou and Mingxuan to the Pagoda’s Feather Pavilion! Yin Yuerong was her best sister, she would never let her stay here with regrets!
“Why did the empress summon Ming Xuan?” Xia Hou Ming bowed respectfully, his handsome face clearly haggard!
“General Xia Hou, please take a seat!” Xu Bixuan motioned for Senior Servant An to step back, then poured a cup of tea and passed it to Xia Hou Mingxuan!
“Thank you, empress!” Xia Hou Ming Xuan received the teacup and looked suspiciously at Xu Bixuan!
“General Xia Hou need not stand on ceremony. Actually, I know the relationship between you and Yuerong the best. “Yuerong told me she was leaving …” Xu Bixuan’s eyes flashed as she spoke indifferently!
“She …” “I’ve really decided …” Xia Hou Ming’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a thorn. It was extremely painful!
“Yes, I just want to hear what the general has to say!” Xu Bixuan believed that this man truly loved Yin Yuerong, because in that instant, she could clearly see a glimmer of light in his eyes!
“I won’t give up Yuerong! I’ll follow her wherever she goes! When she returns to the Southern Yue, I will escort her back! ” Xu Bixuan could feel the determination in Xia Hou Ming Xuan’s voice!
“Ming Xuan …” Don’t blame Yuerong, mother and son are closely linked. It is only natural for her to not let go of Yu Yao! But don’t despair! I believe that if Yu Yao knew about this, she would definitely bless you! So… I hope that you will personally hand this letter to Yu Yao! ” Xu Bixuan took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over to Xia Hou Ming Xuan!
“This is …”
“This is a letter I wrote to Yu Yao. It described the hardships you and Yuerong went through during their journey. Yu Yao is a sensible child! As long as she has the heart to play matchmaker, I believe Yuerong will not continue to be stubborn! ” Xu Bixuan’s cherry lips pursed as a hint of a smile flashed across her face!
“Queen …” “Thank you!” Xia Hou Ming carefully placed the letter into his pocket, and looked at Xu Bixuan with gratitude!
“I should be the one thanking you! Yuerong is my good sister, I hope you can treat her well! ”
“Queen, rest assured. I, Xia Hou, Ming Xuan, swear to the heavens that I will never fail Yin Yuerong. If I break this oath, the world will not forgive me!” Xia Hou Mingxuan swore solemnly!
“In that case, does the general decide to return to the south with Yuerong tomorrow?” Xu Bixuan slowly stood up!
“Not only in the south. No matter where Yuerong goes, I’ll always be right behind her …”
Xu Bixuan nodded slightly, a look of relief flashing across her heart. With such a man by her side, Yuerong should be happy …
Watching Xia Hou Ming Xuan leave the Feather Leaning Pavilion, Xu Bixuan ordered Senior Servant Feng to take out a pen and paper, and then tied a letter to the pigeon she had asked Little An to steal from Yin Yuerong. Then, she walked over to the window!
“Yu Yao… “You are a sensible child, I believe you can understand …”
It was yet another sleepless night. Leng Guitian sat on his bed, listening to his grudge with Xu Bixuan! From Leng Xuejian’s death to him sending Xu Bixuan into the cold palace, everything that happened after, Eunuch Li recounted one by one using his impressions. In addition to Luo Jinye’s narration, Leng Ao Tian’s heart began to loosen as bits and pieces of memories began to appear in his mind!
Early in the morning, Yin Yuerong left the palace with the imperial edict, saying goodbye to Leng Ao Tian, Xu Bi Xuan, and everyone else. Sitting in the rocking palanquin, Yin Yuerong’s tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn’t see Xia Hou Mingxuan among the people who saw her off. He must be angry! That’s right! After working so hard for so long, he suddenly said that he wanted to give up. I’m sorry … Ming Xuan …
When the sedan chair was about to leave the Tsinghua University gate, it suddenly stopped. Yin Yuerong felt her body tremble and lifted the curtain. Her heart stopped at this moment. The familiar figure in front of her was smiling at her!
“Empress Dowager, Xia Hou Mingxuan has volunteered to escort the empress dowager back to the Southern Yue!” Get up the palanquin! ” A clear voice with a carefree tone spilled out from Xia Hou Mingxuan’s lips!
Without waiting for Yin Yuerong’s response, the palanquin had been lifted up and was swaying forward!
“Moon… “No matter where, no matter what identity you have, I will always be by your side …” Her deep voice carried a trace of determination. Yin Yuerong knew that Xia Hou was right beside the sedan chair. A warm current seemed to be moving across his heart. He didn’t answer. A trace of a smile flashed across Yin Yuerong’s lips …
Standing beside the jade railing of the imperial garden, Xu Bixuan quietly looked at the budding flowers. Time flew by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed since Leng Ao Tian had fainted! During these ten days, familiar people left one by one. First, it was Lian Ling, Du Sanniang, then Shui Ruo Han, senior brother, Yin Yuerong and Xia Hou Mingxuan. Xu Bixuan’s heart suddenly felt empty!
At this moment, a pair of thick hands gently caressed Xu Bixuan’s body. She could not be more familiar with this smell; she had already smelled it since she had married into the Imperial Palace seven years ago.
