Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 702
Murong Zhining looked up at Yan Yuexuan: “are you really willing to listen to the words of this palace? Then you should take the princess as soon as possible
Yan Yue Xuan holding Murong Zhining: “which has forced his husband to take concubines? Ning’er, don’t you love me any more
Murong Zhining reached out and stroked Yan Yuexuan’s black hair: “it is because this palace loves you that you will be so generous. True love is not a parochial possession alone, but a consideration for each other everywhere. You are the emperor of Huayan. Do you have any offspring? Directly affected the rise and fall of Huayan and stability! What this palace wants is your heart. You take concubines in order to continue the incense of the Yan Family and maintain the stability of Hua Yan. It does not affect our love and mutual defense. ”
Yan Yuexuan’s voice showed a trace of sadness: “Ning’er, you just don’t love me enough. Love is to get the other party completely. Love itself is selfish. Anyway, I don’t want to share your love with anyone.”
Murong Zhining looked at Yan Yuexuan with clear eyes: “no, why did you want to entrust this palace to general Helan? Isn’t it proof that love is for each other? Yan Yuexuan, if you love this palace, you can’t let this palace bear the burden of thought; if you love this palace, you should help the palace fulfill its wish to be a mother! ”
Yan Yuexuan gently kisses Murong Zhining’s forehead: “you’re only in your early twenties. I’m not seventy years old or eighty years old. It’s not urgent for us to inherit our family. It’s not too late to discuss it in a few years later. I just want to make up for all the time I owe you! I’m busy with government affairs all day, and I’m busy falling in love with you. How can I have time to think about anything else? ”
Murong Zhining pulled Yan Yuexuan’s Lapel: “every time when it comes to business, you will use various excuses to prevaricate. You must give this palace a letter today. When do you want to delay?”
Yan Yuexuan said bitterly: “Oh, empress, you forced me to look like a lion in the east of the river. How can you behave like a mother in the world? If you want a letter, ten years. Ten years later, if you don’t leave a son for me, I’ll take the concubine, OK? ”
Murong Zhining said: “ten years? How can you fool the palace like that? Ten years later, the palace is old, but you want to leave this palace and find a new one? No, we have to compete with the women in the harem while we still have some beauty. In two years, you are allowed to marry concubines within two years
Yan Yuexuan said with a wry smile: “Ning’er, let alone ten years later, even if you look like a chicken skin, I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Don’t worry, no matter how long, no one can compete with you. I promise you solemnly, OK
“The palace will give you another three years. This is the deadline.” Murong Zhining stretched out three fingers.
Yan Yue Xuan tough way: “five years, so set.”
On the gate of Shangjing, the artillery boomed, the honor guard for the emperor to return to Beijing was unprecedented, and the earth shaking bugles were heard.
Yanyuexuan’s dragon car was sandwiched between the guards and drove slowly into the gate of Shangjing. All around are Shangjing people who have poured out their nests. There are so many people that they can’t see the edge at a glance.
Yan Yue Xuan with a smile: “Ning’er, when I was a general, I went back to Kyoto every time and enjoyed the emperor’s treatment! I was thinking at that time that I might really be a beloved general! I even conceited that even if the emperor was a king, he might not be equal to me in the eyes of the people! Now, when I sit in the original position of my brother, I feel puzzled when I accept the same courtesy. Are the people of Huayan respect my position or my contribution to Huayan? Perhaps, the people’s attitude towards me is just awe of power, not mixed with any emotion! ”
Murong Zhining gently shook his head: “Ning’er doesn’t think so! Whether you are a general or an emperor, you have devoted yourself to the role and made a contribution to Huayan wholeheartedly. So, no matter where you are? Can get the support of the people! If you look at the sea of people, they don’t just come to see the excitement. Hua Yan’s country is now peaceful and the people are peaceful. Even if they can live a peaceful life like this, how can they not fear their own emperors! Xuan, you deserve it, so you can accept it calmly
Yanyuexuan’s Dragon carriage entered the middle gate of Taiji palace in the “rumbling” continuous gunfire. Yanyuexuan helped Murong Zhining down from the Dragon chariot, and they got on the same dragon chariot and were carried to the direction of Jingming palace.
Yan Yue Xuan held Murong Zhining’s hand: “Ning’er, how does it feel to go home? Do you like my high wall and deep palace? Or the free sky outside the palace? ”
Murong Zhining looked at Yan Yuexuan: “as long as there is your place, it is the destination of Ning’er’s mind. When you return home, the heart of Ning’er is extra stable! Although Ning’er is in the high wall of the deep palace, Ning’er is not a bird with folded wings. Ning’er has not lost her freedom! On the contrary, when we are with our loved ones, we are free in mind and body! ”
Yan Yue Xuan’s gentle eyes: “I have the same feeling with you. The place where you have congealing son is my place of peace of mind!”
Yan Yuexuan just led Murong Zhining into the imperial study, shunzi ran to the door in a hurry: “emperor, empress, you two finally returned from the South tour. There was a big event in the palace. Yesterday afternoon, concubine Xiao’s mother was killed. ”
Murong Zhining looked at shunzi with puzzled eyes: “how did you die? Isn’t her body always strong? “Shunzi bowed: “go back to the empress. Empress Xiao seems to have died in an accident. She didn’t know what happened yesterday? He fell into the abandoned well in the backyard of Xiaoning palace
Yan Yuexuan gloated: “this is obviously an accident. Why do you say it is very like an accident? Why did Princess Xiao drown in a well? I’m going to let her move to yupan palace next month to enjoy her happiness! After a few days to see the new year, why can’t she wait for a few days? Fortunately, when the accident happened, my Ning’er was not in the palace. Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of words to attract? ”
Murong Zhining pulled Yan Yuexuan’s sleeve and said: “people are dead. The dead are big. How can you say that? The king of Jiangling and you are brothers and sisters. Even if Ning’er is in the palace, is it hard to break it off? ”
Shunzi’s face was astonished: “back to the emperor, the servant said that the death of concubine Xiao’s mother was very much like an accident, because she was not drowned. The mouth of the abandoned well was so small that she fell into it and got stuck on the wall. But the bad thing is that the well head is too small to carry out rescue. When the servants of Xiaoning palace dug the edge of the well and pulled Princess Xiao out, she had no breath and was suffocated alive The servants in Xiaoning Palace are even more miraculous. They all say that concubine Xiao’s mother was killed by a resentful soul. They say that several young maids died in the well. ”
Yan Yue Xuan said with a bitter smile: “how can you still have this strange way to die? How much do the servants in Xiaoning palace hate Xiao? Even the cause of death is so out of tune? In my opinion, this is clearly an accident. No I think, perhaps, this is not an accident. The slaves really want to save people, and they won’t let her suffocate in the well! ”
Murong Zhining shook Yan Yue Xuan’s arm: “Xuan, you’d better go to Xiaoning palace to have a look. King Jiangling and Princess Jingrong must be very sad after their mother’s death. They need your comfort
Yan Yuexuan helped Murong Zhining to sit on the Dragon chair: “Ning’er, the journey back to Beijing from southern Xinjiang has made you tired. Take a rest. I’ll go to Xiaoning Palace first. If it was not for the emperor’s face, I would definitely not go to pay homage to the Xiao family. She deserves to be punished. The blood debt she owes to her mother is recovered by heaven. ”
In the courtyard of Xiaoning palace, a spirit hall was set up temporarily. In the middle of the yard, an altar was set up. Four monks knocked on the magic tools and recited scriptures.
Yan Feng and Yan Yu, dressed in sackcloth and wearing filial piety, knelt in front of Xiao’s spirit with haggard faces and kept burning paper money.
Yan Yuexuan squatted behind the two men and gently stroked their shoulders: “brother Huang, Jingrong, please be patient. Don’t be too sad!”
Yan Feng looked at Yan Yuexuan, and his eyes were full of red blood: “brother, the king’s mother and you have a deep blood feud, you forget the past, not only do not investigate her crime, but also come to mourn in person, I will remember your friendship all my life! Life is bound to experience life and death, and people will eventually return to the dust, but this king is open
Yan Yuexuan helped Yan Yu: “Jingrong, I see you are very weak, and I love you very much. You’d better go back to Qinhe palace and have a rest! At the funeral tomorrow, you’ll have to toss about all day. Don’t wear yourself out! ”
Yan Yu looked at Yan Yuexuan with helpless eyes: “brother Huang, Jingrong, I’m sorry for you At that time, Jingrong was responsible for the death of mother Yu… ”
Yan Yue Xuan gently took Yan Yu’s shoulder: “I know, I have no right to blame you! If I were in your position, I would choose to protect my close relatives. The past is over, you are still my clever and sensible little sister. Don’t blame yourself, ah
Yan Yuexuan helped Yan Yu to his chair and raised Yan Feng: “brother Huang, you have to have a degree of sadness. You should stay with Jingrong for a while. Let me take you two to kneel down and be filial.”
Yan Feng La Yan Yue Xuan sat beside him: “you can’t make it! I’m very grateful that you can forgive your mother’s sins. As the emperor of Hua Yan, you have no obligation to be filial to the imperial father’s concubines
Yanyuexuan reached out to attract Fu Lin, a small Eunuch in Xiaoning Palace: “how did concubine Xiao fall into the well? Why didn’t you have someone to stand by her side? What is the crime of your dereliction of duty? ”
Fulin knelt on the ground: “the emperor, spare your life! It’s not that the servants didn’t take good care of concubine Xiao, but that she was suffering from hysteria more and more seriously recently. She often hurt people with brute force, and her strength was amazing. She was three or five people, but she couldn’t stop The slave knows that he has committed a great disaster, and he is willing to be punished. ”
Yan Feng sighed: “brother Huang, forget it! The mother and concubine did not make a good relationship with the slaves. The slaves lived in fear all day long, and they were very pitiful. The death of the mother’s concubine was an accident, and no one should be responsible for it! ”
Yan Yuexuan raised his chin to the young maid of the palace: “you are the intimate maid of concubine Xiao’s mother. You can’t blame her for her accident. Can you tell me who are the people around when the princess falls into the well
LAN Rui trembled with fear: “back to the emperor, concubine Xiao lost her footing in the eyes of the people, but I think It’s a ghost. Concubine Xiao’s mother had been mumbling to herself yesterday afternoon. She ran to the well and talked to herself, as if someone was calling her at the bottom of the well. Regardless of her maid’s obstruction, she stretched her head into the well to have a look at it. However, the moss on the stone beside the well was wet and slippery. She was not careful and called out “muddy Yue Tong” Yes, it’s these three words, and we’re all in it. I wanted to pull her, but I didn’t have time to When the little eunuchs broke the well head, they found that the reason why Princess Xiao didn’t slide down and drowned was because there was an abandoned well rope hanging in the well, which just wrapped around her neck In fact, she was strangled to death by a piece of well rope. “Yan Yue Xuan frowned, his heart flashed a little uneasy. He firmly believes that this seamless trap must be carefully set by Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining is collecting debts for Ning Yuetong in his own way.
In the Guihuang palace, Murong Zhining is alone guarding a table of imperial food in the main hall. Her thoughtful expression makes Xiaobi feel heartbroken: “Niang, don’t wait, the Emperor may accompany the king of Jiangling into the meal? You’d better have a meal as soon as possible. It’s going to be cold. ”
Murong Zhi Ning’s face was dignified and said to herself, “good, you Yan Yue Xuan. Are you still playing with me? Xiao Bi, take away the dinner, put some in the food box and prepare the sedan chariot. This palace is going to Jingming palace. ”
Murong Zhining gets off the sedan chariot outside the Jingming palace. In front of the imperial study, Murong Zhining withdraws a group of small eunuchs, and enters the imperial study lightly. Seeing Yan Yuexuan holding his forehead with his hands, he looks like he is thinking hard.
Yan Yue Xuan looked up at Murong Zhining in front of the desk, and was surprised: “Ning’er Why are you here? “
