Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 51
"Kara!" Lightning flashed across the night sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder.

Lian Yingtong screamed with her head held in her chest, she couldn't stand up, she could only curl up into a ball, where else could she hide?She doesn't know who else can protect her?

She wanted to call Brother A Lin to save her, but Murong Yuchi told her to go, he didn't want her anymore...

The louder the thunder, her instinctively frightened fingers grabbed at her hair, the heat from her lower body dripped down her thighs, and her lower abdomen was painful and tense for a while.

There was a figure rushing towards him, not far from Lian Yingtong's side, after seeing clearly who was lying in the torrential rain, he let out a low voice.

Lian Yingtong felt someone approaching and weakly opened her eyes, the rain blurred her vision, and someone came squatting in front of her, leaning over to block the pouring rain above her head.

"Follow me, I will take you away." The gentle and warm voice was full of pity.

Xiao Tingfang went to Tianyi Hall to greet her with a smile, and the Empress Dowager Xiao pursed her lips and smiled when she saw her, "Tingfang is in a very good mood."

"It's thanks to my aunt." Xiao Tingfang blushed a little shyly.

"You have paid so much for the emperor, such a good wife, the emperor should be pampered." Empress Dowager Xiao said, but secretly sneered in her heart, Ting Fang is still too easy to coax.

The emperor had no excuse for the Xiao family to send troops, coaxing and deceiving Tingfang effortlessly made the Xiao family want to send troops, the emperor was more powerful than the late emperor, so it was not ambiguous when it was time to compromise.

Xiao Yuanxi crazily spread rumors about the emperor and Chang Ning everywhere, and then he was deliberately added to make it even more disgusting, making the streets and alleys uneasy.

She came forward in person again, expressly implying that the clansmen of the Murong family were all worried that if the war between Nanming and Qi really broke out, of course they would not take out the military power in their hands. The walking force can only resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of Qi State who are trying to cross the Canglan River.

There are still elite soldiers from Qi State coming to Nanming from other places, she is not sure for a moment that the emperor has another plan secretly planned.She had raised this emperor for many years, and the ten-year-old child ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The series of events that happened, the emperor's thoughtfulness and terrifying thoughtfulness surprised her.

If she hadn't been careful, Empress Dowager Xiao really didn't realize that Murong Yuchi secretly investigated her life experience very early on.

Qin Qian's lowly child is also very lowly. For more than ten years, she seems to have lived peacefully and happily. She thinks she is full-fledged and wants to take back all the rights from her.

How could she willingly let go after being immersed in power and conspiracy for decades, the emperor probably didn't know the whole truth about that incident back then, instead of waiting to be killed, it's better to do it herself first.

She was waiting for the 20 elite soldiers of Qi State. If the emperor could not defend the territory of Nanming at that time, the clan members would naturally not support him. The emperor's reform methods over the past ten years also made them quite complain.

Murong Chengyi, your Ai family in the world is watching step by step towards decline and decline; your son, let's talk about it after he has a life to continue to live.

There was no snow in the early winter of Nanming this year, but it was colder than this time in previous years.

The room is constantly burning full of silver frost charcoal day and night. Once you come in, the warmth rushes to your face, which is in great contrast to the outside, and it is as warm as spring.

Sitting on the couch, Lian Yingtong was wearing a snow-white fox fur, with flowing long hair flowing all over her body, reflecting her delicate and charming face as big as a palm, her black and white beautiful eyes were quiet and unruffled, and her complexion was extremely white and delicate , his cheeks were dyed a thin layer of light red by the warmth, but when he looked carefully, his whole face was sickly.

"Wow, it's so cold!" The woman's crisp voice rang out in the room along with a burst of silver bells, and the suddenly cold wind rushed in and was immediately melted by the warmth. "It's so cold today, why isn't it snowing yet?" The woman who came in with bright red makeup came over and sat down while complaining about the weather.

Lian Yingtong's long eyelashes moved, but she didn't speak.

"I'm really looking forward to the snow, so I can play to my heart's content. It's boring to be bored here all day." The woman said to herself and glanced at Lian Yingtong, "Tongtong, you haven't spoken for a few days, and it hurts to hold back It's me."

Even Yingtong's eyes were clouded, and it was useless to speak out, and nothing could be undone.

"Silly girl, no matter how sad you are now, you don't know that man! I don't know how important that man is to you, what happened between you, but you shouldn't make yourself so miserable! You are still young, how many times have you waited?" In the next year, when you grow up and know more, you may find that you may just be attached to that man instead of liking, really, you believe in Sister Xiaohan!" She said with certainty.

Lian Yingtong bit her lip, tears scalded her eyes, her voice was slightly hoarse, "I am attached to him, but I also really like him."

Xiaohan's fingertips brushed the hair covering her forehead to cover the wound, "Even if you really like him, does he treat you sincerely? How can he be willing to let you fall on a rainy day and leave you covered in bruises? You Abdominal pain and rain. Those few days were so painful that I rolled on the bed, and finally couldn’t move. The doctor said that your body can’t stand the cold. You made it like this and spent a lot of time taking medicine to recuperate. That man likes you so much Is it?"

"It's impossible for me and him to be together." Lian Yingtong raised her eyes and smiled at Xiaohan with a hoarse voice, her clear eyes lost their luster.

With a cheeky face, she abandoned her self-esteem and begged him to let her stay, but what she got was his ruthless refusal.

She keeps telling herself that it's just being abandoned again, and it's just going back to the past, where no one cares and no one loves her.

Her heart hurts all the time, but she can't die, she doesn't know if she can survive the years without Murong Yuchi in the future, but she has to bear it no matter how uncomfortable it is, she has to grit her teeth and endure it!

Xiaohan was startled, Lian Yingtong's smile inexplicably infected her at this time, and Xiaohan's heart was depressed for a while due to heartbreak and sadness.

"Okay, let's not talk, I'll come and tell you, someone wants to see you."

In Lian Yingtong's dazed and puzzled eyes, Youdao's handsome and elegant figure came lightly.

"Qi Beiyao?"

Zong Ting returned to Nanming several days after losing the news, his snow-white clothes were stained with blood, his expression was haggard, his usual elegant brows were deeply knit, his resolute lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and his beard was unkempt.

Seeing Murong Yuchi, he didn't say a word, and with a "plop", his knees hit the ground heavily, his back straightened but his head was still hanging down, and the palms that were propped on the ground were grasping tightly as if they were about to insert them.

Murong Yuchi's heart trembled. He had known Zong Ting for many years, and he had never seen Zong Ting with such a calm expression.

He didn't bring Tongtong back, could it be that Tongtong...

Murong Yuchi's chest wound throbbed violently, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it. His heartbeat has been chaotic these past few days, and he feels inexplicably uneasy.

Zong Ting raised his head slowly, he really didn't know how to face Murong Yuchi.

"emperor……"

Murong Wei stood up abruptly, and stepped down from the dragon chair step by step with his tormented body, his pale face was extremely ugly, blood in his heart surged rapidly and burst into his throat, he swallowed forcefully, the smell of blood was strong in his mouth. "Where's Tongtong?" His tone was extremely cold.

"The little princess is fine." Zong Ting said, "It's just—"

Murong Yuchi was relieved when he heard that Tong Tong was safe, Zong Ting hadn't finished the second half of his sentence, his eyes were deep and cruel, "It's just what?"

Zong Ting saw that his fierce black eyes were burning and clear, he thought for a while, he couldn't hide it, even if he didn't tell the emperor, he would soon learn about it from others.

Zong Ting spoke with difficulty and continued, "Prince Qi Beiyao of the State of Qi will formally send a marriage certificate in three days to marry the little princess."

Murong Weichi paused, and said slowly in a cold voice, "Tongtong is in his hand?"

"The little princess was rescued by Qi Beiyao. The minister had been with the little princess before, and this time he rushed back to report the matter to the emperor." He took out something from his bosom and handed it to Murong Yuchi.

Murong Yuchi took it, his eyes became turbulent in an instant, and he held the thing in his palm.

"The little princess personally agreed to Qi Beiyao's marriage proposal, and asked Weichen to come back to play the Empress Dowager Ming, hoping to marry Qi State in the near future." Zong Ting didn't look up at Murong Yuchi's expression after speaking, he can think of it without looking.When he heard the little princess say that, he was also surprised as an outsider.

After a while, Murong Yuchi sneered from above his head, "Tongtong, how dare you do this, how dare you do that." The voice was very soft, calm without ups and downs.

"Your majesty, please don't blame the little princess, she, she..." Zong Ting paused, facing Murong Yuchi's deep and impenetrable black eyes, Zong Ting was always cold but couldn't help but defend Lian Yingtong, "She It's not easy either."

The army of Qi State had already arrived at the Canglan River, and the army led by Murong Wei Huaixiu rushed there with lightning speed, and the battle ahead was almost imminent.

Although the Xiao family sent troops, the strongest force of the Xiao family was concentrated around Nanming City. They had no intention of going to the front to support Murong Huaixiu, nor would they loyally guard Nanming.

Qi State still had 20 elite soldiers, who rushed to Nanming day and night. Qi Beiyao sneaked in early to wait for the army. He took out the military formation map in front of Zong Ting without any precautions.

Once the 20 troops arrived, as long as Qi Beiyao gave an order, Nanming would be in danger at any time, and it was useless to rely on the Xiao family, let alone those Murong clansmen who borrowed troops.

Murong Huaixiu had no time to rush back for help and could not come back, but the emperor's health was getting worse day by day, he was so seriously ill, and all the burdens were on his shoulders.

Zong Ting understood his difficulties. Murong Weichi had walked through such difficult steps step by step for many years, and he never said anything to others.

Zong Ting was slightly moved by what the little princess said.

"Zong Ting, my father, Lian Liyang, guarded Nanming for half his life. Even though he was sorry for the Murong family before his death, he sincerely fought to protect Nanming. Now because of me, the Murong family's six armies are not going to attack. If Nanming Because the city was broken and the people were displaced, I really became a sinner. I can't help Murong Yuchi, and Murong Yuchi doesn't need me anymore. I promised Qi Beiyao's marriage. As long as I marry him, Qi Beiyao promised to withdraw 20 troops. For once, I felt that I was at least somewhat useful."

Zong Ting felt a sense of powerlessness. The 15-year-old little princess said these words to him with a calm expression and a slow but extremely firm tone. He was momentarily at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

"What else does she want you to tell me?" Murong Yuchi walked back to the dragon chair and sat down slowly. The cold and wide dragon chair lacked her warm companionship, and his whole body leaned back.

"Nothing."

No more, three words are so simple.

The people he cared for and pampered for three years, the people who Cheng Huan was shy under him, and the people who said they really liked him, walked away neatly.

Murong Yuchi stroked his forehead with his palm, and there was a faint blackness in his brows on his ashen face. After a long while, he said, "Zong Ting, I have something to tell you."

After a while, Zong Ting's extremely anxious voice sounded, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly, hurry up!"

On an ordinary night, the Nanming Palace was in chaos, and Emperor Murong Yuchi fell seriously ill and fell into a coma.

The medicine bowl in Lian Yingtong's hand suddenly fell, and the shattered medicine spilled all over the floor.The black concoction splashed on her snow-white fox fur little by little, like dried old blood stains, and the light red that was so hard to grow quickly faded from her cheeks.

His clear eyes stared at Qi Beiyao for a long time, and his pale lips slowly said, "Impossible!"

Qi Beiyao's eyes were heavy. He didn't believe it at first. Murong Yuchi suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to Nanming.

He had never fought against Murong Yuchi, but he had heard of the bloody legend of Murong Yuchi ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.This man is unfathomable, and Qi Beiyao has never dared to take it lightly.

However, the spies inquired again and again, and now Empress Dowager Xiao, who lives in the harem of Nanming, came out to take power again, the news should be true.

"Do you want to go back and visit him?" Qi Beiyao kept her momentary reaction under his eyes, and when Lian Yingtong was too panicked to respond, he put his palm on the back of her cold hand, "I only give you one chance, If you miss it, I won’t let you go again.”

"Qi Beiyao..."

"You agreed to the marriage, I believe you will not go back on your word, so I will give you complete freedom." Qi Beiyao said lightly, "Of course, after we get married, you have to break with Murong Yuchi thoroughly, and be the Crown Princess of Qi with peace of mind. .”

Lian Yingtong withdrew his hand back, "Qi Beiyao, you don't have to be so nice to me. I agreed to marry you because you agreed to withdraw troops. Your brother Du Ling's death was caused by me, and what is the relationship between me and Murong Yuchi? Everyone in the world knows that your position will become difficult."

"I know, you never have to worry about this." Qi Beiyao chuckled and stared at her, the image in his heart touched his pain again. "I'll go and refill the medicine for you, and you will give me the answer after you think it over before I come back."

Qi Beiyao turned and left, Lian Yingtong was paralyzed as if she had lost her center of gravity, Murong Yuchi was seriously ill and unconscious, she didn't realize that there was nothing wrong with him before she left, how could it become so serious all of a sudden?

For no reason, she thought of the nightmare that disturbed her, her cold fingers were twisted together, her heart was beating very chaotically...

The early winter in Nanming was wet and cold, and the sky was cloudy without a ray of blue sky. Qi Beiyao came out of Lian Yingtong's residence with his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind.Suddenly he stopped and said softly, "Brother Yi, the little Princess is my future princess, it's not appropriate for you to follow like this."

"What about you? Withdrawing 20 troops in exchange for her agreeing to your marriage proposal, Brother Beiyao, you are not very kind." The young man's voice sounded, and a figure appeared not far from Qi Beiyao.

"I have never given up on the little princess, but it's the timing. I don't have any malice, I just want to protect her well." Qi Beiyao coughed softly, his clear face calm and calm.

"Du Ling's death was caused by Murong Yuchi. You can't protect her at all if you bring Tongtong back to Qi. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Murong family of Nanming and Feng Xiuhuang of the Western Regions are the most difficult to mess with in the world today. I believe you can easily take her away." The young man said in a deep voice.

"Brother Yi is right. I am really worried about Murong Yuchi. No matter whether his serious illness is true or not, we must be on guard. Brother Yi, you also saw what the little princess looked like at that time. Take her away from here, maybe she can Be happier."

The man's eyes were heavy, he remembered finding her in the torrential rain, lying motionless on the ground with his whole body soaked, his heart was throbbed violently, it was still the first time he saw her.

In the beginning, her eyes were clear and bright, and she couldn't help but be attracted at the first sight, her eyes were narrowed, and she lived up to her name.

Seeing that he was silent, Qi Beiyao continued, "Of course, I also have selfish intentions. Du Ling was rude to her and hurt her, and he really deserved to die. But no matter what, he is still the prince of Qi, my father's most beloved son. I Promise the little princess not to leave the people of Nanming, but must severely injure Murong Yuchi, and give my father and the state of Qi an explanation."

The man snorted softly, "Brother Beiyao's selfishness, I don't care. If she wants to leave Murong Yuchi forever, she must win this battle. It is not easy to win Murong Yuchi, so I can only try from Murong Huaixiu. Qi's 30 troops You must cross the Canglan River to kill Murong Huaixiu's troops, if you really do this, you will severely damage Nanming, and only then will your country of Qi have a chance to recuperate."

"I know you have a way." Qi Beiyao looked at the man with a smile, "You were able to escape from Murong Yuchi back then. With this alone, there is nothing in the world that you, Yi Jiangnan, cannot do."

The man slowly raised his head and looked at Qi Beiyao. He had a beautiful appearance, and half of his face was imprinted with pink traces like peach blossoms.

Lian Yingtong decided to return to Nanming, and Qi Beiyao accompanied her personally, and solemnly handed over the marriage certificate to Empress Dowager Xiao.

"In a few days, it will be an auspicious day for marriage, but the hasty marriage is too simple." Empress Dowager Xiao responded flatly, and said to Lian Yingtong after reading the marriage letter.

"When it's time for war, it's better to keep it simple."

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, "It's rare for you to be so young, so let's decide that day. You can choose what you like and what you want. The Princess of the Murong family is easy to buy when she gets married, but it can't be too shabby. Tongtong, you know your reputation It's not very good, Prince Qi's willingness to marry you is a blessing you cultivated, and you will keep your duty in the future, so don't embarrass the Murong family again."

"Chang Ning knows." Lian Yingtong lowered her eyes and just listened to what Empress Dowager Xiao said.

"The Ai family will not send you off on the day you get married. By the way, do you want to visit your uncle?" Queen Mother Xiao asked.

Lian Yingtong was stunned, "Is... is Uncle Huang seriously ill?"

"The imperial doctor stays there and does not leave. The emperor has never been so sick, but at this time..." Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her. Murong Yuchi had Zong Ting by her side, and she only said how serious the coma was. No one knows, the information about the illness is tightly sealed, she sent an eyeliner to the past, but there is no news yet.

This girl hurried back, maybe she could find out about Murong Yuchi's condition for her.

"The Ai family is not that unkind. No one wants to make a mess like this. You should visit him before you get married. There will be no chance to see him again in the future."

There will be no chance to meet again in the future, yes, she married Qi Guo and will never return to Nanming.

She was married, and as time went by, those rumors gradually faded away. Murong Yuchi is still the emperor of Nanming, and his concubine will give birth to an heir for Murong. It's a bit unbearable.

Lian Yingtong left Tianyi Palace and stood motionless on the road leading to Murong Yuchi's bedroom for a long time, finally she reversed her steps and walked towards the opposite place.
