Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor - Chapter 136
The palace is besieged?
Yu Qingjia was taken aback, and immediately raised her head to look at Murong Yan. Murong Yan’s expression didn’t change much, his eyes were as calm as ever, and he even smiled at Yu Qingjia: “Don’t pay attention to the people outside, drink with peace of mind.”
Yu Qingjia didn’t know what to say when she heard it. What does it mean to ignore it? The outside of the palace is surrounded by people. Combined with the current situation, how can this be an accident? Moreover, there was a lot of firecrackers and noise at the wedding today, and the visitor deliberately picked this day to cover up all the outside sounds, so that the matter was discovered only after it was a foregone conclusion. The guard just said succinctly, only reporting the attack, but the actual situation may be thousands of times more serious than the attack.
After the guard uttered these words, not only Yu Qingjia was taken aback, but all the female family members who came to watch the ceremony were also taken aback, their faces paled. All the girls in the room immediately became agitated, whispering and chatting one after another, and many people were even ready to move, wanting to rush out of the door. But Murong Yan sat in the same place calmly, without shaking the wine bottle in his hand, with him sitting here, although all the girls wanted to escape, none of them dared to move.
Murong Yan twirled the wine between his fingers, and glanced at the ceremony officer lightly: “The wedding is not finished yet, why not continue?”
The ceremonial officials turned pale with fright. In troubled times, everyone cherishes their lives the most. They are in the court and know the dangers best, not to mention that they just experienced a coup two days ago. Not long ago, Murong Yan raided Yecheng and put the emperor under house arrest. Now another force has besieged the Langya Palace, obviously dissatisfied with Murong Yan’s tyranny and came back to seize power. The ceremonial officials didn’t care who was the capable minister who resisted Murong Yan, and they didn’t want to know. The ceremonial officials only knew that the other party’s forces would definitely kill in the palace.
Several ceremony officials showed hesitant expressions, and one of them stood close to the door, taking advantage of everyone’s unpreparedness, he opened the door and rushed out. However, just as he ran out the door, a sharp knife lay across the neck of the ceremony official. The ceremony official trembled violently, his legs immediately went limp, and he collapsed to the ground like noodles.
With the lessons learned from the past, other people who wanted to run immediately restrained a lot, and silently retracted their feet. Murong Yan’s eyes sparkled, and he looked at them with a half-smile, then turned to the rest of the etiquette officials, raised his eyebrows lightly: “Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
The ceremony officials couldn’t help but shivered, so they had to follow the procedure and recite the lengthy ceremony speech tremblingly. Yu Qingjia was a little anxious. She put the wine glass on the table and said, “Fox…Your Highness, there are many people waiting for you outside. The situation is urgent and there is no delay. You should go out with them to deal with outside matters first. I’ll wait in the mansion, and it won’t be too late to make up for the etiquette after everything settles down.”
Accompanied by Yu Qingjia’s voice, several groups of people came from outside the Qinglu, and He Guang also followed in the crowd, looking inside anxiously. All the soldiers stood outside, silently waiting for Murong Yan’s action, but Murong Yan remained unmoved, and his tone was calm and calm: “Other things are not as important as you. A wedding is a major event in a lifetime, and it is not good if it is interrupted. Even if there is something big going on outside, it has to wait for you and me to get married.”
“But…”
“No but.” Murong Yan pressed Yu Qingjia, held her hand, and lifted the wine bottle, “I promised you, you only need to do what you like, and don’t worry about anything outside.”
Yu Qingjia could only hold back his anxiety, the ceremonial officer saw the situation and hurriedly sang, Murong Yan and Yu Qingjia worshiped each other according to the ceremonial officer’s instructions, and drank all the wine together. Yu Qingjia was in a hurry to drink, and accidentally choked a little. She put down the wine bottle, feeling absurd in her heart that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry. Murong Yan took his time, but she was in a hurry to end the wedding quickly so that he could go to work outside.
Yu Qingjia carefully suppressed her cough, but tears were still shining in her eyes. Murong Yan glanced at her, asked the maid to bring water, and fed her herself. Yu Qingjia was anxious, quickly suppressed the itch in her throat, and said, “I’m fine, you go and do things outside the house, people outside have been waiting for a long time.”
Murong Yan glanced lightly, then turned her head, still gently stroking Yu Qingjia’s back with her hands: “Are you so anxious to let me go out? You’re choking yourself, and you’re still thinking about things outside.”
Yu Qingjia was extremely helpless, she raised her head and half looked up at him, her eyes were picturesque, full of water, full of choked tears: “I don’t know good people, I’m not for you.”
Murong Yan looked down at Yu Qingjia’s eyes, the distance between the two was extremely close, his shadow was all in such a pair of beautiful eyes, as if other worlds and other people did not exist at all. Murong Yan felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. He scratched Yu Qingjia’s chin with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed the flower on Yu Qingjia’s forehead: “Wait for me to come back.”
Yu Qingjia obviously couldn’t avoid Murong Yan’s movements, she stared at Murong Yan’s back helplessly, reached out her hand to touch her chin, and muttered in a low voice: “I’m not a cat.”
Murong Yan finally left, the female family members all heaved a sigh of relief, and the servant girl also felt much lighter on her shoulders. The scene when Murong Yan and Yu Qingjia were about to leave did not deliberately avoid people. The ladies watching the ceremony showed embarrassment. Although they avoided their eyes, they couldn’t help feeling a little bit of envy in their hearts. Now that Murong Yan is gone, Yu Qingjia pretended that nothing happened, and decently sent the ladies to the guest room to rest.
Now Langya Prince’s Mansion is still surrounded, no one knows what’s going on outside, it’s impossible to leave at this time, but in this situation, no one is in the mood to continue the banquet, it’s better to go to the guest room to rest for both the host and the guests . The wives have been officials’ wives for many years, and they can still survive these scenes. They smiled and said polite words to Yu Qingjia, and then went to the guest room to sit in small groups. After sending everyone away, Bai Zhi stepped forward and asked in a low voice: “Madam, can you remove your makeup?”
Bai Rong reminded at the side: “It’s time to call Wangfei.”
Bai Zhi patted her forehead and said: “Oh, look at my brain, I have been nagging Baiji Yinzhu for a day, and I want to change my name to be the princess, but when it comes to me, I forget it. Wangfei, you woke up early today. I’ve been busy all day, do you want to change into some light clothes to relax?”
Yu Qingjia shook her head: “No need. Although I don’t know if he will come back tonight, but if he comes back, I will change my clothes and go to sleep. I’m afraid it’s not good. I said I will wait for him to come back, it’s okay.”
Since Yu Qingjia said so, of course Bai Zhi and the others did not dare to object, and bowed their heads back. Yu Qingjia is dressed up today, her face is exquisitely made up, and her hair is full of pearls and emeralds. Such a beautiful body is beautiful, but it is not too heavy. Yu Qingjia dragged her long clothes to the window, gently opened the window, and stared at the sky outside for a long time.
Ever since Murong Yan occupied Yecheng, the situation in Yecheng has become turbulent and tense. People have been imprisoned constantly. The whole capital is shrouded in a tense atmosphere that is about to storm. Even though Murong Yan is the son of the former prince, even if the former prince was killed unjustly, but now the emperor is Chang Shan Wang after all, and the line of Chang Shan Wang is the real orthodoxy. Although Murong Yan killed Yin Yikun in the name of the Qing emperor and took control of the inner and outer courts, in the eyes of the courtiers who took it as their mission to maintain orthodoxy, Murong Yan was still a traitor. It’s not right. Those who are truly qualified to participate in politics are the emperor’s own sons.
The sky was densely covered with lead clouds, and the dark wind was blowing, blowing Yu Qingjia’s belt in all directions. Yu Qingjia took a long breath, and deliberately chose to raise troops on the day of the wedding, which shows that the other party has planned for a long time and came prepared. Yu Qingjia wasn’t worried about the current situation of the palace. Judging by Murong Yan’s appearance, he didn’t expect it at all, and he didn’t know who was plotting who. What Yu Qingjia was really worried about was the aftermath of the siege of the palace.
After Murong Yan came to power, his methods could not be described as cold-blooded and cruel. However, it is difficult to control violence with violence for a long time. What Yu Qingjia feared was that the rest of the courtiers and the people were dissatisfied with Murong Yan. blame. The cycle goes back and forth, gradually getting out of hand.
The lights of Prince Langya’s mansion were kept on all night, and no one in the palace city could sleep at this moment.
The emperor leaned on the slum, as if his body was too weak to be tormented, bowing his head and coughing from time to time. The maid knelt down, and after a severe cough, the maid brought the copper basin in front of the emperor, leaned over and lifted it above her head for the emperor to wash his hands.
There was no superfluous expression on the emperor’s face, and he washed his hands silently, but his eyes seemed to sweep out of the palace. There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and the emperor’s dark eyes suddenly lit up, and the light was not at all like the sickly look just now.
The **** in a red coat and black hat stumbled in, and fell to the ground after entering the hall, his voice trembling: “Your Majesty, Third Highness, Third Highness…”
The emperor suddenly stood up from the collapse: “Sanlang succeeded?”
The **** finally got over his breath, and said the whole thing in one go: “Your Majesty, someone has discovered the plan of the Third Highness, and just now the spies tried their best to spread the news, saying that he is already on his way into the palace. Please take care, Your Majesty. Be sure to bite something to death.” I don’t know, so I can protect the rest of the people.”
“What?” The emperor swayed, staggered and sat down on the collapsed floor. He couldn’t believe it, and murmured, “How is it possible? It’s absolutely safe, how could he know?”
“How did I know, thanks to you, Second Uncle.”
The emperor was startled when he heard the voice, he raised his head subconsciously, with strong hatred bursting out in his eyes, at random he realized that his emotions were too extroverted, so he forcibly restrained himself. But even so, hatred remained in the emperor’s eyes.
Murong Yan was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, with knee-covering ribbons tied on his belt, and the hem of the clothes overlapped. He walked in a leisurely and elegant way, in stark contrast to the fully armored soldiers behind him. Such a scene is strange, but it does not violate harmony at all.
The emperor covered his lips and coughed with a handkerchief, and his sleeves were wide enough to cover half of his face: “My nephew is having a big wedding today, why did you leave the new princess alone on the wedding night and come to the palace instead? “
Murong Yan waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately threw a dead dog-like man to the ground. The **** who reported the letter knelt on the ground and shivered. He bravely looked back and couldn’t help but let out an “ah”.
What Murong Yan brought was the spy who sent him a letter earlier.
“Second uncle is seriously ill. I don’t detain you to attend the wedding for the sake of grandfather, and let you recuperate in the inner palace. I didn’t expect my second uncle to care about my relatives. You gave me What a gift.”
The emperor saw that there was no need to continue to cover up the matter, so he put down his sleeves and said with a sneer, “Murong Yan, this is your retribution. You are heartless and ruthless, and you don’t know the rules of human etiquette. You should be strangled to death as soon as you are born.” , Keeping you alive is already the biggest mistake. Do you think you can become king if you control me, dreaming.”
Seeing that the emperor’s state was not right, the **** in red cautiously called out: “Your Majesty…”
The emperor didn’t care, looked at Murong Yan and smiled happily: “I didn’t expect you to break the siege of a big wedding. It’s because I underestimated your vigilance. But, do you think that’s all I did?”
