Empress Fenghua

Chapter 528: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
Yuan Qing walked into the room with a solemn expression, Hua Zhong and Su Wen were chatting happily, seeing his serious face, she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Su Wen couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Yuan Qing looked at Hua Zhong, "Guling attacked Dingguo again! This time it seems to be more brave than last time. I don't know what tricks they used, and they have won many battles!"

Hua Zhong's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "What? How could Gu Ling still have such strong strength? Could it be that Xue Wuhen forgot all the agreement he made with him in Jinjian Villa?"

Yuanqing shook her head, "This time he seems to have taken advantage of the influence of people in the Jianghu. Originally, Xue Wuhen also planned to win over those influences, but Situ Ye suddenly issued an edict regarding the treasure of the golden sword, so..."

"We will return to Dingguo immediately!"

"No!" Yuanqing said bluntly, "Because Xiliang Wuyan is going to attack Wan'an City, within a month!"

Hua Zhong took a deep breath, "You mean the fall of Wan'an City took place within a month?"

"I said that one month may be the limit! I heard that Ye Yongjia will not surrender or resist, and let the people and soldiers choose for themselves!" Yuanqing sighed, "He has lost all his opportunities. I am afraid that at this moment Fully prepared."

"Xiliang Wuyan probably wouldn't kill Yongjia, he said..."

"One moment and another moment!" Yuan Qing interrupted Hua Zhong, "The world is in chaos, even Xue Wuhen will take the opportunity to kill Xiliang Wuyan, let alone Xiliang Wuyan and Ye Yongjia who have never met before?"

Hua Zhong frowned, "What did you say? When will Xue Wuhen kill Xiliang Wuyan?"

Yuan Qing glanced at Su Wen who lowered her head, "Just when Xiliang Wuyan was dying of illness and left the Xue Clan! Third sister, too many people and things have changed. We can no longer look at them from the old perspective. Otherwise, you will not be able to protect yourself!"

Hua Zhong thought for a moment, then clenched his fists, "Yuanqing, Suwen, I think I should go and see Yongjia, no matter whether he used me or lied to me, he has given me sincerely, and he was the one who held me back the most when I was young." heartache!"

In any case, Hua Zhong can't forget the days they spent together in those years. The betrayal in the past life and the miss in this life are undoubtedly the biggest regrets in the hearts of the two of them.Yongjia was right, and he was right, what was wrong was that he had changed too much after his rebirth, with Xue Wuhen, Xiliang Wuyan, Ye Chenxiang, and Duan Huixian.In the previous life, I ended his life with my own hands, so this time I have to pay him back more or less...

The sky was as dark as dark clouds, and the city was about to be destroyed.The soldiers on the city wall had heavy expressions on their faces. They didn't know whether they were going to meet death or celebration next.Hua Zhong flew over the eaves and walked over the walls, skipping the streets and alleys that he had walked countless times, all the way to the gate of the palace, the guards stood there in twos and threes, and when they saw Hua Zhong's figure, they hurried forward to stop him.

Hua Zhong took out the token, "Tell the emperor, just say County Lord Gaoyi begs to see you!"

"Subordinates refer to Gaoyi County Lord!"

Ling Yun frowned and watched Hua Zhong walking step by step. He had thought countless times what it would be like for the emperor to meet Gaoyi County Lord, but it was never like this among thousands of endings!Ling Yun stepped forward to salute, feeling a little lonely all over his body.

"This subordinate has met County Lord Gaoyi!" Ling Yun raised the corners of his mouth, "I didn't expect the County Lord to come back..."

"If I don't come back, wouldn't I be ashamed of my love for Lingshan back then?" Hua Zhong felt sore, "Where is Yongjia?"

Ling Yun hurriedly brought Hua Zhong to Yongning Palace, "The emperor is inside, it's inconvenient for subordinates to go in, please let the county master go in by himself!"

"stop!"

Before Hua Zhong raised his foot, he heard Concubine Quan scolding, "Concubine Quan, long time no see!"

Concubine Quan's heavy make-up looks like a sad woman walking out of the haze, her eyes that once held countless charms are now full of vicissitudes and water, Hua Zhong doesn't know whether it is the pain of losing a child, or the ruin of the country and family That would bring about such a change for her.But Hua Zhong can't forget what Ouyang Feiyan said to him, the one who wants to kill him is Concubine Quan!
"Ning Huazhong, I really didn't expect you to come back!" Concubine Quan snorted coldly, "It seems that Ouyang Feiyan is really at a disadvantage! He can't even kill you, and he even ignored Qingqing's life!"

"I haven't come to pursue you until now, what else do you want?" Hua Zhong really didn't have the heart to entangle with the person who killed Duan Huixian. I hope there is someone else who can accompany him!

Concubine Quan's eyes were shining with water, "Pursuing? I haven't come to pursue you yet!" Concubine Quan seemed agitated, and she grabbed Hua Zhong's shoulders with both hands, "Ning Huazhong, when I think of Xi'er, I can't wait to see you." I strangled you to death! Do you know how I survived so many days and nights? Do you know the feeling of hearing Xi'er crying in my dream? The pain of losing a child, you How have you experienced it before? Bengong promised Xi'er that she must avenge her, but you didn't come after I killed Duan Huixian and asked Ouyang Feiyan to kill you. You didn't come after you knew it was Bengong. It’s all in vain. It’s okay! I finally let Bengong wait for you..."

Hua Zhong looked at Concubine Quan indifferently, "Are you still waiting for me now? Have you ever loved Yongjia in your heart? I admit that Xi'er's death is a pity, but one cannot always live in pain. If you I loved Yongjia a little bit, will you stay by Yongjia's side when the country is ruined?"

Concubine Quan sneered, "Ning Huazhong, what are you talking about? Is Xi'er's death a pity? Are you worthy of saying such things? You are the one who killed Xi'er!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hua Zhong couldn't help shouting angrily, "If you just want to talk nonsense, then I don't have time to accompany you!"

Concubine Quan's eyes were scarlet, "Since you came, Xi'er died, you clearly killed Xi'er for Duan Huixian!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Hua Zhong clenched his fists, "Quan Guifei, Xi'er's death was an accident, that's all!"

Hua Zhong turned to leave, Ling Yun blocked Concubine Quan.Concubine Quan struggled and said, "Ning Huazhong, that was not an accident at all, that was not an accident at all!"

Hua Zhong stopped, thinking about everything in his heart, turned his head and said to Concubine Quan, "Concubine Quan, do you have to know the truth?"

Concubine Quan suddenly fell silent, looked at Hua Zhong with tearful eyes, "What did you say?"

"If I asked you to choose between Xi'er and Yongjia right now, who would you choose?"

Concubine Quan's expression froze, she quickly restrained her expression and said, "I only want my Xi'er! Because the emperor doesn't belong to me alone!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help but sneered, "Since that's the case, I might as well tell you that the one who hurt Xi'er is Yongjia, Ye Yongjia!"

The moment was like the silence after a sudden thunderstorm, even Ling Yun frowned, "County Lord!"

The corners of Hua Zhong's mouth stiffened, "Queen Concubine, the one who hurt Xi'er is Yongjia! Who else do you think?"

"You lied to me!" Concubine Quan looked at Hua Zhong in extreme pain.

Hua Zhong shook his head, "Yongjia wanted to keep Huixian and Zhen'er safe, so he wanted to abolish the queen, but Huixian made no mistakes, and Zhen'er was well-behaved, sensible, and smart. That's why I finally saw Zhen'er that day. Contacting Xi'er, Yongjia suddenly thought of this trick! He successfully abolished Huixian's position as queen, and then demoted Zhen'er to a commoner and sent her to be raised by Princess Xinyang who herded horses and sheep far away at the border. Come on, he thought he could secretly send Duan Huixian out of the palace before the country was destroyed, but he didn't expect you to do it in advance! Do you know why he doesn't want to see you anymore? Do you know why he wouldn't make you queen even without Duan Huixian? Do you know why the country is in turmoil and is unwilling to establish a crown prince? No one can be established, and no one wants to be established. Because in his heart, except for Duan Huixian and Zhen'er, no one is worthy of the throne of queen and crown prince!"

Concubine Quan suppressed her emotions, but tears still fell down involuntarily, "No! This is impossible..."

Her voice was weak, and she denied it as if she was comforting herself!

Hua Chong smiled and looked at Concubine Quan with tears in her eyes, "Concubine Quan, you never really loved Yongjia, why did Yongjia ever really love you?"

"But the poison of a tiger does not eat its children..."

Hua Zhong frowned, "It's like I asked you to choose between Yongjia and Xi'er, you will choose the precious one, and Yongjia is the same!"

Concubine Quan's body trembled, she slumped suddenly and sat on the ground, she was stunned without saying a word, without making any sound, tears kept falling down...

"I thought I would let you stay by Yongjia's side at the last moment, if you still have the slightest love for him!" Hua Zhong smiled disdainfully and shook his head, "But since you don't want to, then I will Why keep this secret? How much hatred does a person have to hurt the entrance of the abyss? Concubine Quan, don't blame me for being cruel, the carriage for your escape must have already been prepared outside the palace gate, right?"

Hua Zhong gave her a hard look, turned around and left...
