Chapter 422 Extra Welfare Chapter Deep Palace Empress & Beautiful Male Luthier (18)

After entering the hall, seeing a handsome young man in a bright yellow dragon robe crouching over the desk to review the memorial, the little eunuch put the food box in his hand on the table beside him and bowed his head back.

The old eunuch walked forward with a smile, bowed and saluted, without mentioning the matter of the inspection with the silver needle just now.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has brought food again."

"En." The man's hand that was annotating paused, and the tip of the pen stained with cinnabar ink made a red ripple on the rice paper.He scribbled the remaining few words, then put down the pen, got up and walked to the table.

The old eunuch stepped forward to help him open the food box, and then took out lotus root starch and rose cakes and put them on the table.

Yun Qian sat down, looking at the two plates of delicate food that were still warm in front of her, she couldn't help but feel good.Smelling the fragrance of roses that was close at hand, it seemed as if the exhaustion from reviewing the memorial just now disappeared all of a sudden.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he reached out to pick up the rose cake and wanted to bite it off, but he stopped suddenly.A few indescribable glances flashed in his eyes.

In the end, he took a light bite.Looking at the bowl of light rose rose lotus root powder, Yun Qian picked up a spoon and drank it.Honey with lotus root starch is very sweet, but not so greasy, so is the rose cake.

If this beautiful woman works day and night to cook soup for you with that soft catkin, I'm afraid it's nothing more than a fairy.

This is, only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

...

An Xi waited in the palace for a long time, her green clothes plain, her youth retreating.She looked at the court lady's dress in front of the bed, and wandered back and forth anxiously.

Suddenly, half an hour later, the guards outside the palace suddenly became restless, and then they all left in a hurry.

An Xi pushed open the palace door to check, and saw the guards walking towards the emperor's bedroom with knives.She quickly put on the maid's coat, picked up the veil and rushed out of the palace gate.

Before leaving, he knocked over the candlestick beside the bed.

But after rushing to the room where Xu Xing was resting, he found that there was no one there.

An Xi's face was slightly startled, not knowing where he had gone, her heart suddenly panicked.Feeling lost, she turned her head and was about to leave when she bumped into a strange palace man head-on.

The palace man was afraid of contradicting him, so he quickly stepped back a few steps and knelt down, "Madam, the slave is here to take you out. Mr. Xu still has some matters to attend to, so he can't accompany you out of the palace. This is the token to leave the palace. He said that someone will pick you up after leaving the palace, you just go to the old place and wait."

The palace man said, presenting the token.

An Xi reached out to take it, and asked worriedly, "Has he gone out yet?"

"This servant doesn't know either." The palace man shook his head with a look of confusion.

An Xi didn't ask any more questions, because time was running out after all.She was carrying the burden, and trotted back to the palace with the token. After seeing the palace people fighting the fire, she quietly threw the burden under the tree, and ran forward to grab the little maid standing in front directing the fire.

"Hurry up! The empress is still inside!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The little maid had already burst into tears, her appearance was so impressive.An Xi's nose was sour, and she was about to leave.

"Are you that court lady? Hurry up and put out the fire." Yuan Yuan wiped away the tears on his face, choked up and asked the person in front of him who was dressed as a court lady and wore a veil.

"It's me, come with me." An Xi lowered her voice and glanced guiltily

"Niang Niang..." Yuan Yuan's eyes showed surprise, and the lost look disappeared in an instant. "Mother, what are you doing..." She opened her mouth, subconsciously about to ask something more, but was interrupted by An Xi.

"Come on, I'll talk to you on the way."

The woman dragged the lady-in-waiting to the tree, picked up the burden and ran to the gate of the palace.In the darkness, the guards at the palace gate yawned lazily, and when they saw two young ladies dressed as court ladies coming out, they hurriedly stopped them.

"Which palace's maid? I don't know if you can't leave the palace because of this matter?"

An Xi took out the token and put on an eager look, "We are the emperor's servants. The emperor has been poisoned tonight, so let us keep quiet and go out of the palace to find the famous doctor Li outside the city to detoxify."

The guard repeatedly confirmed the token, and the hairstyle was indeed the emperor's personal order, and let it go.

An Xi didn't dare to delay for a moment, took Yuan Yuan's hand and rushed out of the palace gate, then trotted along the street.

The street lights are on, and there are food stalls, which are extremely lively.The two found the alley, secretly changed back into their normal clothes, sat in front of the stall and ordered two bowls of wontons.

"Your Majesty... You scared the slave to death, and the slave thought..." Yuan Yuan looked at the plainly dressed woman in front of her, sobbing and opening her mouth, tears fell into the bowl of wonton in front of her.

An Xi smiled, and raised her hand to help her wipe away the tears: "Am I okay?"

Yuan Yuan cried, curling his lips: "Then why didn't you tell me, you don't know how worried I am. If something happens to the empress, what can I do..."

The girl's cries quickly alarmed everyone present and passers-by.An Xi put down the soup spoon, wiped away her tears in embarrassment, and softly instructed: "Be quiet. Now that you are out of the palace, call me sister in the future, and stop calling yourself a slave."

Yuan Yuan was taken aback by her words, and was a little panicked: "But slave..." She said, met An Xi's expectant and unhappy eyes, and then changed her words: "But I am a slave , it would be presumptuous.”

An Xi lowered her eyes, smiled and picked up the spoon to eat wontons.The tone was neither cold nor calm, and seemed to be a bit absent-minded, but when you listen carefully, you can hear the expectation and yearning in the words: "Follow me back to the border town. Where you are, you will be free and full of desert scenery. By then, The solitary smoke enters straight in, the long river gradually falls, and the sun is full and the moon is bright."

"Okay, servant girl..." Yuan Yuan smiled, but this time he changed his words on his own initiative, "I will go back to the border town with my sister."

The woman smiled and said nothing more.He got up and left two taels of silver on the table, took the veil around his face and left slowly.She looked a little nostalgic.

But what is she missing?

Maybe it's the graceful and moving a cappella dance on the flower drum.Perhaps, it is the flying dance clothes of the western style.Or maybe it's the desert rose that has been planted for a long time.

It is the blissful residence where the wind and sand are all over the sky, the smell of wine is fragrant and the singing and dancing are lingering.

It was the handsome young man who accompanied her to look up at the moon and miss her parents under the starry sky.

Only later, the singing and dancing Bliss House became a lonely cold house in the desert wind and sand.And the handsome young man of the past, who has weathered the wind and sand, has become vicissitudes day by day, and now he has turned into a stone monument in the desert.

I don't know if the ink on the stele has been washed away after two years.

For two years, she never went back to look at him.

"Brother, why don't you blame me. Blame me for not bringing you a rose from the Northland for so long. I remember how you wanted me to be like that..."

The woman thought in her heart, two lines of tears fell down my cheeks.

Yuan Yuan, carrying the burden, catches up to her with a smile.This is the first time in her life that she has left the palace.Because of being a slave, since she was born in the palace, she has never seen the prosperity outside the palace.

She looked around curiously, looking very happy.

Suddenly, for unknown reasons, fireworks were flying all over the city.Light up the night sky.Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch one after another, and An Xi and Yuan Yuan couldn't help being shocked by the scene.

At that time, a crowd of people poured into the street from outside the city, rushing towards them in great numbers.

An Xi realized something instantly, pulled Yuan Yuan and ran away.

"Run!"

The two ran hand in hand, but how could they escape the speed of the horse.Immediately, the heroic and handsome man caught up with the two of them, stopped his horse in front of them, and drew out his sword: "Please come with us, Queen Mother."

An Xi realized that he was not here to arrest them and bring them back to the palace, so she couldn't help but wonder.Looking at the man in black clothes in front of him, he couldn't help frowning: "Who are you?"

She retreated subconsciously, planning to turn around and run.But after discovering that he was surrounded by a large number of guards behind him, he realized that there was no way to retreat.

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to know." Jian Yang said in a perfunctory and indifferent manner, then looked at his subordinates aside and ordered: "Take it back."

In this way, An Xi and Yuan Yuan were tied up and brought back to the palace.

For this matter, the inside and outside of the imperial palace have been surrounded by the army of the Western Kingdom.Although the Imperial Forest Army had the power to fight, they were surrounded in the palace and could only be forced to guard.

And the Su army waiting to be dispatched is all issued by the general. For some reason, the general followed Xi Guo and surrounded the palace instead.

The young man has star eyebrows and sword eyes, and his face is full of chilling intent.His usually spotless white clothes were now stained with blood.It's like blossoming coquettish manjusawa blooming in the snow.Like flowers and dreams, beautiful but suffocating.

Holding a bleeding sword, he approached the palace step by step, looked at the trembling palace guards, and drove them out.

Then he pointed the sword at the weak man on the bed, "I plan to abdicate, I will spare you."

Yun Qian smiled, her face was pale, and she looked quite poisoned.He coughed twice, and stood up with support. The loose bright yellow nightgown revealed a large, strong and delicate chest, and his hair was scattered and untucked. Compared with the cold and majestic attire of the usual king, he looked a bit more casual and polite.Of course, it also looks more gentle.

Xu Xing's eyes were cold, and the sword was always pointed in front of him.After seeing him go to the table and pour a cup of tea, he repeated coldly again: "Abdicate. I'll say it again."

"Can I ask you a few questions?" Yun Qian looked at the cold man in front of Shuomo and asked with a smile.

Xu Xing didn't answer, but he didn't care.It's just that I sat down at the table with some exhaustion, and drank a cup of tea again: "If you don't answer, I will take it as your acquiescence."

"I have heard that Changle was born in a night of romance between the first emperor and a Jiangnan Leren. In fact, that Jiangnan Leren is your mother. And you were born with Changle."

"You entered Fengxi Palace back then because you realized that I have a deep affection for the Empress Dowager, and you wanted to use her to poison me."

"However, I am very curious about two questions. Why is General Zhou used by you, and why do you want to take over the world."

After Yun Qian finished speaking, she looked at the man in front of her and curled her lips meaningfully.

Xu Xing looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "When I was young, I traveled the world and saw the suffering of the people. But you lie on your back, knowing the suffering of the world. It is because of a romantic and lustful tyrant like Yun Xiao that the world has such general situation."

"My grandfather once saved General Zhou's life in front of the late emperor. At that time, he was young and vigorous and issued a military order. He should have died when he was defeated, but his father saved him with a song." Xu Xing added Yun Qianwen's words. Another question, his brows were furrowed from beginning to end.

After hearing what he said, Yun Qian chuckled: "Oh, you think that the king is worried about the worries of the world and happy for the happiness of the people in the world. But I don't know there is a saying that everything is caused by mistakes. Now, I can Seeing that the capital of this country is happy and harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"But there are barren people in the extreme north who drink blood, and there are poor people who have been devastated by wind and sand outside the frontier. How can people be saved if they don't save themselves? The king is not a god, and he cannot save all living beings. The whole country , There are tens of thousands of people, how can I save everyone?"

Seeing the man's appearance, Xu Xing moved the sword closer for a while.He said in a cold voice: "You think the city is full of prosperity, but you don't know that there are people from rich families who smell like meat, and some people have frozen bones on the road."

Yun Qian shook her head, "Even if you have won the world now, it will not be easy for everyone to be happy. Even in the next thousand or ten thousand years, there may not be a king like this."

"Then I... am Qiangu alone." The hazy lights reflected the determination on the face of the young man in white. He looked at the man in front of him, and there was a trace of arrogance beyond indifference on his face.Not as weak and bookish as before, but really like a battle-tested general.

Yun Qian still looked calm and relaxed, he picked up the tea cup with a smile and took a sip, his eyes looked optimistic.

"If you have the world in your heart, you have the style of a royal son and daughter. But I can't give you the throne. Otherwise, I, the king, will have no face to face my ancestors and the emperors of the past."

Just as the two were stalemate, there was a sudden sound from outside the hall.Then the woman in plain clothes was pushed into the hall with her hands tied, and Jian Yang stood beside her, pointing a sword at her neck.And she was gagged, unable to say anything, she could only whine non-stop with tears in her eyes.

When looking at Xu Xing, her beautiful eyes were full of disappointment and heartache.There was a little bit of emotion on Xu Xing's face, and he didn't dare to look at her.

"Queen..." Yun Qian saw that her face changed suddenly, and she obviously hired a secret guard to look after her, why now...

What he cared about was about to step forward, and when he stood up, his heart throbbed with pain due to the onset of poison.

Jian Yang saw his doubts, and said coldly: "As early as a few days ago, the dark guards had already been dealt with."

"Do you want to give up the throne or not?" the man in black asked, asking a question for Xu Xing.

Yun Qian lowered her eyes, thought hard, and before she could make a reply, Jian Yang moved the long sword in his hand closer to the woman's neck.The sharp sword cut through the woman's neck, and bright red blood slid down.

Seeing this, Yun Qian frowned and quickly stopped: "Okay, you put down the sword first, as you wish."

Jian Yang withdrew his sword, and An Xi sat on the ground in a heartbroken state, with tears streaming down his eyes.She looked at the man, the man she had believed in.

For the sake of rights, she personally used her life as a bet.
