Chang Anqing

Chapter 266
"Princess Yuling—"

Seeing Li Sui walking slowly down the corridor, Chengde finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted very humbly.

As far as the soldiers behind Yang Che were concerned, Li Sui was born in the Li family, the treasure of the Li family of Taiwei's wife and the Li family of Longxi, the cousin of Yang Yan and Yang Che, and the concubine that King Yuling personally proposed to marry.

Maybe they don't have to give other people's face, but they absolutely dare not give it to Princess Yuling.

Therefore, in an instant, these majestic generals restrained themselves a bit, and bowed respectfully to Li Sui.

"Aman, what are you doing here—"

Faced with Li Sui's appearance, Yang Che who was holding down the hilt of his sword couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he didn't want to let her in easily.

Seeing this, Li Sui was neither angry nor annoyed. He just waved his hand at Chengde and let Chengde go back to the palace first. Just now, he took a look at the soldiers who were kneeling and "begging" the emperor, and finally, he turned his attention to Yang Che. body.

"I know what the Duke of Yanmen and the generals wish for—"

After all, Li Sui looked at Yang Che, who was only a short distance away, and said, "Why did you come here today, and why did I come here?"

Seeing that he finished speaking, Li Sui was about to step forward, but Yang Che still held his hand there, as if he didn't intend to let go.

During the silence, Li Sui had a smile on his lips, and when he raised his eyes, he said calmly: "Erlang is like this, does he not believe in my ability, or does he not believe in what I say?"

After all, Li Sui said to Yang Che calmly: "Although Concubine De entered the palace to accompany her not long ago, she is a person favored by His Majesty. In this world, even if you raise a raccoon slave, you will have inseparable feelings. Not to mention the person next to the pillow."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Yang Che stared at her quietly, but saw her expression unchanged and said: "I am the sister of the emperor, if you can't persuade me, I may not be able to persuade you."

After the words fell, Li Sui didn't say any more, bypassed Yang Che and walked towards the hall with his head held high.

This time, Yang Che had no reason to stop him.

After entering the room, Li Sui heard the sound of the sword wind blowing into his ears. When he entered the study room under the leadership of Chengde, he saw this scene.

The emperor in black clothes can hardly detect his sorrows and joys, sitting in danger behind the dragon case, while the imperial concubine Shangguan Yun in front of the imperial court has heroic eyes, holding the long sword gifted by Zhao Yi and pulling out the daunting sword flower, just like the Hanyuan Palace that day, That period of majesty and vigor, which is not inferior to the man's "Xuan Jia Breaking the Battle", is unforgettable.

There is nothing to do when the dying is not dying, and there is nothing to do when the dying is dying.

For some reason, watching this scene, this eternal tragedy appeared in Li Sui's mind.

The moment they looked at each other, Emperor Yuan Cheng still smiled, as gentle and jade-like as before, as if there were no layers of soldiers outside the palace, and there was no bloody sky in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Aman is here."

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Sui didn't say anything, but nodded calmly and saluted.

At this moment, looking at Li Sui in front of him, Emperor Yuan Cheng suddenly felt a world away.

The layers of haze in his heart were always shrouded in his heart, which he couldn't shake off or shake off.

"Yang Taiwei blocked the news in the suburbs of Beijing, I think you can answer it for me."

Hearing Emperor Yuancheng's indifferent inquiry, Li Sui raised his head quietly, and then said one word at a time: "Shang Shuling led the Habayashi guards to instigate a mutiny against the Turkic army among the three armies when Yang Taiwei gave the military order, but Yang Taiwei It has already been noticed, and with the support of General Huben Chang Huan who secretly rushed back from Lanzhou, the rebellion has been suppressed now."

"That's how it is, that's how it is—"

Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled indifferently, his lips parted, looking at the calm and composed figure in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.

"So you know everything, Zhao Yi knows everything, you guys are pretending to be an alliance with us—"

Facing the gaze of Emperor Shangyuan Cheng, Li Sui raised his head silently, and then calmly said: "My cousin knows better than anyone else, if I don't know, if I don't do it, it is not certain who will lose today and who will die. .”

"But I never thought of killing you!"

Hearing these words, Concubine De at the side had already silently retreated, leaving only the brother and sister confronting each other.

"Never?"

Li Sui let out a faint chuckle with a snort, and then looked up at Emperor Yuan Cheng, as if it were a joke: "Then have you ever thought about killing sister or her child?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuan Cheng's face paled immediately, and he looked down in disbelief, but met Li Sui, who had gloomy and aggressive eyes, who was no longer free and easy in the past, and he understood everything in an instant.

At this moment, his chest seemed to be hit hard again, causing him to clenched his right fist tightly on the table in pain, suppressing the bursts of pain that arose.

"Yeah, maybe brother won't kill me—"

Speaking of this, Li Sui stepped forward and said, "But what about Princess Pengcheng? What about Shangguanji? And those who are loyal to my cousin? Will they treat me with kindness?"

"In troubled times, even a moment of benevolence and righteousness will lead to death."

After the words fell, Li Suijing looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng, and said without hesitation: "So even if you love her again, you will still ruthlessly kill her and kill her child, even if she has been with you for nearly ten years, even if she does it for you. You have children, even if she suffers all kinds of tortures for you, she still can't kill you, can't she?"

"In this world, you can't even trust the person next to you who has loved you all your life. How can I, Li Sui, be so naive that I really dare to seek skin with Princess Pengcheng and the tiger. I hope that you will let me and the Li family live in the future. Let Zhao Yi live?"

Speaking of this, Li Sui's last sentence clearly fell into Emperor Yuan Cheng's ear.

"Fate is only real if you hold it in your own hands. Even you know this, don't you?"

Looking at Li Sui, who looked calm, as if greeting him, but with invisible judgment in his eyes, he was under pressure.

Emperor Yuan Cheng no longer had the initial sullenness and questioning.

Because he knew very well that from the moment his elder brother passed away, he and the cousin of the Li family in front of him were destined to stand in different positions.

If she really chooses to stand by him this time, will he really let the Li family go, as promised, and regard the Li family and Zhao Yi as heroes for saving the country?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

Those are nothing but delaying tactics to shake people's hearts.

Just as he only loved Yu Niang all his life, but he couldn't erase the fact that she was from the Yang family, nor could he erase the fact that he had to kill that child, or even massacre her entire clan, so that she would not be able to have children for the rest of her life.

So, this is a dead end.

What started with the death of my elder brother will end with their deaths.

That's why Yu Niang hanged herself in front of his couch——

"Give this to Concubine De for me—"

After a long period of silence, Emperor Yuan Cheng finally stood up exhaustedly and with great difficulty supporting the imperial case, and only handed over the customs clearance certificate in his hand to Li Sui when he staggered closer.

"Send her off for me."

Under the sad words, Emperor Yuan Cheng turned around and turned his back on her.

The back view is no longer as high-spirited as before, but is full of irreversible depression as the building is about to collapse.

Putting away the customs clearance document, Li Sui turned around and walked out. He didn't say the last sentence until he was about to step out.

"Cousin, you took the lives of sister, mother and son, did you win again?"

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yuan Cheng felt that his right hand was tightly clutching his heart like a thousand arrows piercing through his heart. A tear had already fallen without warning and fell on the back of his hand, which was extremely hot.

When Li Sui walked outside, he saw the back of Shangguan Yun who had been waiting for a long time. Hearing the sound, he turned around and Shangguan Yun smiled at her.

At this moment, looking at the customs clearance document in Li Sui's hand, he didn't need to say anything, but everything was clear.

"I heard that there was a big fire this morning. Auntie threw a candle and committed suicide."

While talking, Shangguan Yun slowly stepped forward, and said to her in a voice that only two people could hear: "Thank you, I will leave everything to you."

"My lady left the city this morning, she is still waiting for you to get together."

Hearing this sentence, Shangguan Yun closed her eyes silently, but she shed a tear, but she did not reach out to wipe it away, but took out a folded page from her sleeve and stuffed it into Li Sui's hand.

"This may come in handy for you and King Yuling in the future."

Faced with this situation, Li Sui looked at it unexpectedly, but seeing that Shangguan Yun didn't say much, he didn't ask, but just put the piece of paper and customs clearance documents in his sleeves.

When Li Sui walked out, Lu Zhu on the side pulled Shangguan Yun reluctantly and cried, "My lady, why, why didn't you leave together—"

Seeing Luzhu's face full of tears, Shangguan Yun was not sad, but wiped away the tears for her with a relieved smile and said: "Silly Luzhu, if I don't die, I will be a drag on Auntie. Avoid pursuit."

After that, Shangguan smiled and encouraged: "Don't cry, just fix my makeup for me, even if I leave, I have to walk decently."

"Miss-"

Shangguan Yun, who was about to be dressed up, walked out slowly with the support of Lu Zhu, Yang Che and all the soldiers couldn't help but glanced at Li Sui who was standing silently beside him.

Looking around at everyone who forced her to commit suicide, Shangguan Yun did not have the slightest fear or unwillingness to face death, but instead carried endless courage and arrogance, just like the wanton Shangguan daughter in Hanyuan Palace back then.

It wasn't until the end that Shangguan Yun looked at Yang Che who was indifferent, and his eyes suddenly burst into sarcasm.

With the sound of the dragon's chant as the sword was drawn out of its sheath, the soldiers present immediately said vigilantly: "Your Majesty, be careful—"

However, Yang Che did not evade the slightest bit, standing there like a mountain.

Immediately, Shangguan Yun's lips curled up a little, and he said forcefully, "Don't you want my life? Why not give it to you?"

After all, Shangguan Yun sneered at every soldier present, his stern and calm gaze forced them to lower their heads and avoid them.

"A country will not be a country, a minister is no longer a minister, and the swords in your hands will only be aimed at people of the same origin and blood—"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yun tightly held the long sword in his hand, as if holding every inch of his determination, every inch of ambition, and looked up at the blue sky outside the corridor.

"In my whole life, I only want to be a daughter and fall into this bird cage. I can't throw myself into the battlefield, I can't kill enemies wantonly, I can't guard the border and defend the country. In the next life, I only wish to be born as a son, and to repay the ambition of this life—"

While speaking, Luzhu on the side was already choked up, and desperately wanted to rush forward to snatch the sharp sword in her hand, but was trapped by someone instead, unable to move half a bit, and could only cry desperately and anxiously: "My lady, don't, don't—"

Looking back, Shangguan Yun gave Luzhu a gentle smile, and said, "Good Luzhu, I'm leaving, don't cry—"

As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of cold light, and Shangguan Yun raised the sharp sword in his hand with a smile, slashed the knife across his neck, and wantonly scratched the bloody mouth as thin as a cicada's wing...

"Miss!"

Following Luzhu's heart-piercing cry, Shangguan Yun's body shook slightly, and the next moment, he fell heavily towards the ground like a kite with a broken thread.

At this moment, all the soldiers present had an inexplicable feeling, so they had to lower their heads unconsciously to avoid this scorching side.And the palace people also bowed their heads and wiped their tears unbearably amidst Luzhu's weeping and screaming under this sudden change.

"Yu, Princess Yuling——"

Seeing Shangguan Yun, who fell into Luzhu's arms, with blood bubbling from his neck like a spring, he struggled to pick up the long sword in his right hand and signaled to Li Sui. The indifferent Yang Che and everyone present looked at him.

Under this gaze, Li Sui suppressed the heaviness in his heart, stepped forward and half-bowed beside Shangguan Yun, only to see the shocking blood staining her skirt and skirt red, feeling that she couldn't stop trembling due to the outflow of blood, With a convulsed body, Li Sui swallowed and his throat was stagnant, and then he heard a voice that was so soft that it didn't seem to exist.

"Give it back to him for me, for me—"

Seeing Shangguan Yun tremblingly raising the blood-stained long sword, Li Sui did not take it, but instead squeezed her hand holding the sword and said: "He is a man of promise, since he gave this sword to you You won't take it back—"

Hearing these words, a gentle and happy smile finally appeared on Shangguan Yun's lips.

"Okay, okay, it's enough to have his sword and accompany me to the end."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yun closed his eyes silently, and tears rolled down his face for a moment, dizzying the scarlet stain on his dress.

"Li Sui, sometimes I really envy you, envy you have him, envy you can easily get what I can't ask for in my life—"

Holding Shangguan Yun in his arms, watching her struggle to speak every word, and seeing the blood on his hands, Li Sui silently clenched his hands.

"Tell him for me, falling in love with him, I, I don't regret—"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yun glanced at Li Sui, with a sly smile in his eyes, every word tremblingly overflowing from between his teeth.

"In the next life, I—will—will fight with you, with you—"

After the words fell, Shangguan Yun, who was lying in a pool of blood, gradually closed his eyes, only the clang of the sword hitting the ground woke everyone present.

"Miss!"

The cries in his ears enveloped his ears, and Shangguan Yun had already fallen into Luzhu's arms, watching a group of wild geese flying across the sky, with endless envy and hope rising in his eyes.

"Concubine De, died—"

With just one word, mourning erupted everywhere.

But Li Sui knew that all of this was done for the living and for the world to see.
