Emperor Jin

Chapter 2
one year later
The huge noise came from far and near, and King Gumo stood in the palace, quietly watching the panic-stricken palace people running in the courtyard.

"Is the city broken..."

On his resolute and clear face, there was a peaceful smile——

"With my Gumo's square inch, she has persisted for more than a hundred days, which is enough to be praised by future generations..."

It was almost dusk at this time, and the cold wind blew in through the half-opened hall door. A row of remnant lamps flickered in and out of the hall, casting heavy shadows on the lapis lazuli ground.

"My Gumo's foundation has been established for hundreds of years. Although it is not very prestigious, it is also the master of one party. Now it will be ruined in my hands."

He sighed, the evening wind made his clothes flutter, reflecting the white frost on his temples, making him look even more desolate.

The four layers of the outer robe are made of extremely thin light azure, the solid silk brocade inside is extremely luxurious, and the lower skirt is piled with four-clawed flying dragons - such a grand attire was worn by him on the day of the imperial court. Now, it is about to come in handy for the last time!
"You are not far underground, wait for me to come..."

He thought of the queen who passed away years ago, and his daughter who died last night, with an infinitely bleak expression on his face, and said in a low voice.

There was a loud bang, like Jiao Lei blasting past the ear, but the direction was heard, but it came from the former court Yuque.

"Do you really want to shovel this place to the ground?!"

He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and his usual majesty reappeared at this moment.

"Are you going to let them act like this?!"

Qingmiao's voice was like pearls falling to the ground, as if someone quietly opened the door and walked in. The cold wind rushed into the hall. King Gumo turned around in doubt, but saw that the visitor was wearing ten layers of black soap gauze, but he was still beautiful and graceful.

"It's you, Baojin!"

He couldn't help showing a cheerful smile, and the depression between his eyebrows dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Didn't you marry Gao Li far away?"

After the pleasant surprise, he was confused. He couldn't help asking, but after seeing the sadness in Bao Jin's eyebrows and eyes, he realized instantly——

"It's unreasonable. He watched the royal family collapse, and dared to humiliate you like this!"

"Child Li, short-sighted..."

He said bitterly, according to his past temperament, he would definitely commit crimes before him, but when he thought about his own situation, he was even more saddened.

"He didn't humiliate me too much, he just ruined the marriage - fortunately, he and I are not husband and wife..."

Baojin smiled wryly, met King Gumo's surprised eyes, and continued: "When I married into Korea four years ago, I was only fifteen years old. The Princess Wang was afraid that I would take away her power, so she used the excuse of the death of the late king to make me The two saluted, but they have been living in separate palaces, and after three years of death, such a big event happened——she sent people to chase and kill me all the way, which caused me a lot of trouble."

"The good seedlings of the emperor's family did not fall into the mud at last."

After King Gumo was relieved, he sighed again: "Since you escaped safely, why did you come here—the current Gumo City is already under the threat of soldiers, and is in danger!"

"uncle……!"

Baojin stared at him deeply, remembering that when he was young, he and his elder sister rode on his shoulders, laughing and playing on the top of the mountains, and remembered that his uncle had led thousands of relatives in brocade clothes to fly to his aid. It is still a good story in the Beimenguan area——

It's all over!
"Why did it become like this?!"

She said every word with great pain, "My sister is dead, and Gumo will also fall into their hands. Is it really fate?!"

"No! I don't believe in destiny!!"

She gritted her teeth, and said decisively, although her voice was low, it carried the momentum of breaking gold and jade, she raised her eyes to King Gumo——

"I came here this time just to borrow something?"

"What is it?"

"The identity of Yuran's younger sister."

"what?!"

King Gumo was startled, his hands trembled when he heard his daughter's name——

"I want to enter Beijing as Yuran's younger sister. After Gumo City is broken, these royal relatives will be escorted to the imperial capital..."

King Gumo immediately understood, "My Gumo has a custom that an unmarried woman must wrap her face in a gauze, and must not show herself in front of others. In this world, no one has ever seen Yuran except father and brother."

"Yes, it's a long way to go to the imperial capital. Yuran's younger sister is weak, so why not replace her with me... There are people outside the city who will surely protect her—"

"You're late, kid..."

King Gumo laughed out loud, his voice full of grief, indignation and sternness——

"Yuran, my most beloved daughter, passed away last night."

Baojin's eyes constricted at this moment——

"Her future son-in-law actually acted as the enemy's internal response and opened the city gate. She already had a cough of blood, and cried out in shock all night, so..."

Baojin stood quietly, and the carved beams and paintings in front of her eyes seemed to be collapsing. The joyful and peaceful world she was familiar with had lost the last touch of color in her eyes and was shattered into dust.

After an unknown amount of time, she still lowered her head and murmured, "Uncle please agree—"

"You child!!"

King Gumo couldn't help being furious, and was about to scold her, but when he saw her eyes, he sighed sadly——

"Forget it..."

He raised his voice to call for people, and within a short while, a palace official came.

"This is Yuran's personal maid, Ji Xin. She grew up with her, and she knows everything about her well."

He sighed, flicked his robe sleeves lightly, took out a crystal clear glass bottle from the upper eight treasures, poured a little into each of the three cups.

He gently shook the blood-red wine in his hand, and softly recited a famous sentence from the Celestial Dynasty——

"Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge..."

This wine was left over from the wedding night. At that time, he led three thousand relatives and nobles to fly to the heavenly court, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he married the emperor concubine.

That incomparably handsome and majestic figure that has dominated thousands of troops has now been obliterated by the years, who still remembers this piece of residual wine? !

He handed each of the two women a cup, but he himself took out a soybean-sized red pill from the other compartment, put it into the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

The next moment, his eyes began to slacken. He sat upright, and after pointing at the bead curtain with his finger, he died of exasperation.

Bao Jin exhausted all her strength to keep from yelling. She gritted her teeth and let the blood flow out without realizing it.

Stretching out trembling hands, she and Ji Xin dragged the corpse with great effort, and went behind the bead curtain.

Press the mechanism lightly, and the ground of the back hall will be divided into two, revealing the abyss of ice and snow below, in which there are three jade coffins floating, two of which are the queen and Princess Yuran, and the other is empty.

The corpse of King Gumo was gently placed, and the three jade coffins drifted lightly, gradually sinking into the abyss.The ground closed, leaving no traces.

"very nice……"

Looking at this scene, Bao Jin didn't feel sad, but felt extremely peaceful and appropriate——

"It's great that their family is reunited..."

At this moment, she thought of her sister who died violently in Beijing, whose bones were hard to find, and her father, queen, and queen who had passed away long ago, and felt that everything was sad, and there was no trace.

***
Yun Shi walked through the grand square and palace road, and then through the corridors, before arriving at the main hall.

At the beginning of night, the flickering palace lanterns swayed under the eaves, the wind blew the iron martingale, and the vast hall was immersed in darkness.

Yun Shi knocked lightly on the palace door, just as he was about to make his name known, he heard a clear and gentle female voice say: "Come in!"

The voice was serene and calm, without any fear.

He pushed the door lightly, and the carved and jade-encrusted palace door made a soft creaking sound, and a lamp in the palace, like a bean, was burning lightly in front of the desk.

"come yet……"

A slender figure sat in front of the desk, and asked him with a chuckle, her face was blurred by the vermilion flames, making her look very blurry.

Yun Shi looked up, but gasped in the next moment——
