Chang Anqing

Chapter 232 It's a Tribulation and a Fate
"well--"

In the huge hall, the father and daughter stalemate for a long time, and finally broke the last tranquility with Yang Chongyuan's indiscriminate words of joy and anger. At this moment, the hands hidden under his cuffs were clenched into fists, and with the brows and lips overflowing little by little. The scattered smile finally relaxed.

In the strange atmosphere, Empress Yang silently saw that Yang Chongyuan in front of her no longer argued with her, but slowly stretched out her right hand, erecting the callused finger that had held the knife for half a lifetime, full of meritorious deeds, her eyes Bursting out with a cold and razor-sharp momentum, as the smile subsided, the lips parted slightly, and the words of the oath vibrated to the ground like sinking stones like the sea, ringing coldly and stiffly in Empress Yang's ears .

"I, Yang Chongyuan, swear by the life of my Yang clan. From today onwards, when I, Yang Chongyuan, take power for one day, the Longxi Li clan headed by Zhongshuling Li Zhang will surely prosper and be safe. The Yuling King Zhao Yi and Princess Qinghe will be safe and sound. , if I violate this oath, it will be disadvantageous to him, and I, Yang Chongyuan, will die!"

Slamming down the last word of the oath, Yang Chongyuan's outstretched right hand tightly clenched his fist and fell back. Looking at Queen Yang in front of him, his gaze was as dark and pitch-black as an endless abyss.

Accompanied by bursts of coolness all over her body, Li Shi's always calm and prudent eyes were full of shock and disbelief. Listening to the strange conversation between father and daughter in the hall, she forced herself to hold back her trembling hands, and stepped back step by step. , until he retreated to the outer hall, he still couldn't calm down.

When she got the evidence that Yu Niang was quietly with her, she was not surprised. Yang Chongyuan was the person she had slept with for decades, how could she not know his ambitions, his schemes, and his plans.

In her heart, all of this is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.If one day Yang Chongyuan really sits in that seat, this world, this country will belong to her son, and she will be able to enjoy this peaceful world as the empress dowager as she wished.

But she never thought that all of this was based on Yu Niang's pain.

She never expected that Yang Chongyuan would carry her behind his back and watch her grandson die at the hands of the emperor, almost causing her to lose her daughter.

Ruthless as he is, he can even abandon his own blood without mercy.

Then when he expects his Yang family to be in power, isn't her life, Erlang's, Sanlang's, and her Li's life all in his hands?

Thinking of this, Li Shi couldn't help but shuddered, and clenched her hands tightly almost involuntarily. She will be strong for the rest of her life, and she must never let the fate of herself and her parents fall into the hands of others and let them be at their mercy.

When it was related to the previous events, Yang Chongyuan's deliberate suppression and balance, and the greedy Cao family and his son who didn't care about others, she felt like a light was on her back, enough to threaten her and her child's life.

She is very clear about how fierce the battle between the imperial concubine and concubine was in the previous dynasties, so she will never, and will not let Erlang and the others fall into that situation again.

That being the case, Cao and her son were even more reluctant to stay.

No one can stay!
Otherwise, she will have nightmares every night and never have peace.

The night wind outside was even worse. With an anxious mood, Jiamo, who was anxiously guarding outside, saw a person gradually walking out of the hall. When she saw Li Shi walking out with a gloomy complexion and met her eyes, she felt a twitch in her heart. Surprised, I just feel more and more uneasy tonight.

"I don't need to report to the Taiwei about my coming tonight."

Li Shi's cold words rang in his ears calmly, and when Jiamo and Qingzhi nodded silently, Li Shi turned around and disappeared into the night behind the lamp without looking back, gradually drifting away.

Ever since Empress Yang secretly invited King Yuling tonight, summoned Taiwei Yang alone, and deliberately attracted his wife, Jiamo already felt that tonight was very unusual, and what surprised her even more was Yongning County, who had always been inseparable from Empress Yang. The Lord suddenly got drunk tonight, and left the banquet early to return to the palace.

Is everything really such a coincidence, but she always feels uneasy in her heart, she can't find out the bottom, she just feels that tonight is not peaceful——

Following the sound of heavy footsteps again, Jiamo couldn't help lowering his eyelids when he met Yang Chongyuan's icy eyes, and when Yang Chongyuan was standing next to them majestically, that undeniable voice It was a cold voice.

"Take care of the queen."

The command-like words disappeared in the air little by little, Jiamo and Qingzhi hurriedly nodded in agreement, and the next moment they realized that Yang Chongyuan had left without looking back.

Almost at the same time, Jiamo and Qingzhi rushed in, and before they had walked a few steps, they saw Empress Yang slowly walking out in a fine attire. , but it looks very lonely and thin, casting a misty shadow.

"Your Highness!"

Noticing that Jiamo stepped forward to support her nervously, looking him up and down, as if his eyes were red, Empress Yang saw that Qing Zhi beside her was also full of worry, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "What's the matter, what's the matter?" It seems that I can't see me—"

"Your Highness, don't say such things!"

Before Empress Yang could finish speaking, Jiamo hurriedly interrupted.

Looking at Jiamo, who has always been mature and stable, crying inexplicably, looking at her with red eyes, his hands holding her couldn't help but tremble with worry.

Empress Yang only felt that the softest part of her heart was touched, and felt the long-lost touch and care at this most desperate, lonely, and confused time.

"Okay, you are the Shang Gong of our Lizheng Palace, the most honorable female official in the Daming Palace, how can you wipe your eyes and cry in front of people like a child, and only teach the maids next to you a joke."

Empress Yang spoke with a smile while reaching out her right hand to gently cover Jiamo's cheek, gently wiping away her tears with her thumb.

Aware of this move, for some reason, Jiamo followed Queen Yang's strength, and couldn't help throwing himself into her arms, sobbing softly. At this moment, Queen Yang froze her hand, didn't say anything, just caressed her With his back on his back, he closed his eyes silently, but a few tears fell.

"It's okay, it's okay—"

Seeing Empress Yang comforting Jiamo who was bowing her head in a low voice, Qing Zhi who was standing aside couldn't help turning her body, lowered her head silently, and gradually felt her heart choked up.

At night, the annual Shangsi Spring Banquet has quietly come to an end, and the tranquility has been restored. At this moment, the palace chariot is slowly heading towards the Daming Palace. Under the dark night, there are many people following the emperor's sedan chair The servant Gong'e, Emperor Yuan Cheng in the car seemed to have drank a few more glasses, leaning tiredly on the pillow behind him, leaning towards Queen Yang affectionately, his right hand still tightly intertwined with her fingers, and whispered to her with a low smile Interesting stories at the banquet tonight.

Sensing Empress Yang's unusual silence, Emperor Yuan Cheng clasped her right hand slightly, and said with sideways eyes, "Why don't you speak?"

Under Emperor Yuan Cheng's questioning eyes, Empress Yang looked at each other slowly, and said after a long time: "It's probably a long time since I left the palace, and I'm a little tired."

Seeing that Empress Yang was more exhausted than him, Emperor Yuan Cheng never had any doubts. He just sighed, let go of his right hand with more concern, put his arms around her weak shoulders, took her into his arms, and leaned on his shoulders The boss said slowly: "I have been making trouble all day today, and I am indeed tired. Let's just rest for a while, and I will call you when I arrive."

Hearing the gentle words of Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was as loving as before, Empress Yang quietly leaned on his shoulder, but closed her eyes silently, only feeling that layers of mountains were always pressing on her body, making her She was suffocating to the point where she couldn't breathe.

"I always dream about our kids these days."

Hearing Empress Yang who was leaning on his shoulder say these words slowly, Emperor Yuan Cheng's hand stroking her shoulder tightened imperceptibly, and his eyes darkened at that moment.

"Yu Niang."

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Cheng's deep words sounded again in the silent air: "We will have children, we will definitely have children."

"Shiro, will you treat me like this for the rest of your life?"

Hearing these questioning but extremely calm words, Emperor Yuan Cheng, who had suppressed his emotions, was finally relieved. He only felt that the people around him were acting like a baby, and smiled lightly: "I, Chen Xuan, have loved all my life. You, it will only be, I will treat you like this for the rest of my life, and the next life, the next life—"

The lingering love words in the ear came with a warm breath, Empress Yang couldn't detect the slight emotion on her lips, and said in the next moment: "If I leave before you in the future, what will you do—"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan Cheng's back stiffened, his nerves tensed immediately, he straightened up, turned to look at Empress Yang seriously and said: "Yu Niang, what are you talking about?"

Facing the extremely nervous gaze of Emperor Shangyuan Cheng, Empress Yang in front of her suddenly smiled and said jokingly: "People are born, old, sick, and die. Are we really as courtiers flatter us, you can live a long life, I can live a thousand years?"

Seeing the constriction in Empress Yang's eyes and confirming that the words just now were indeed funny, Emperor Yuan Cheng finally let go of his guard, let go of his body and pretended to be sullen and said, "Don't say these words in the future."

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng held Empress Yang's hand tightly again, as if she would disappear if she let go, and it was the first time he talked to her about this issue so seriously: "I never thought about this, and I never thought about it. I dare not think about it, but I know that if I don't have you in my life, I will have nothing."

Even his heart is gone.

Listening to this extraordinarily serious answer, Empress Yang didn't speak any more, but her eyes were filled with indescribable sadness.

Even now, she can't see clearly.

The encounter between her and Chen Xuan was a calamity or a fate.

In the end she owed him more, or he owed her more.
