The snow fell early this year and the weather gradually became colder.
Ling Zihan stood outside the palace gate, with no one around her. She only held the slightly cold heater and covered her cold hands. But she didn't know if she was too worried about Yi Anliang and Silongsifeng. Her hands and feet were cold.
, no matter how hard you cover it, it won’t warm you up, as if the blood in your veins is frozen.
Time passes quickly with the flow of the hourglass.
Finally, the door to the side hall of Ganquan Palace opened towards her.
The majestic building, with its natural majesty, and the vermilion dragon-carved wooden door, were like a call from heaven, opening to her at the moment when her heartstrings were about to break.
Qi Dehai came forward with a fly whisk, bowed to Ling Zihan, and made a gesture of invitation: "Princess Ke, please!"
Ling Zihan raised her head, and what she saw was the high threshold, the dazzling screen with golden luster, and the upper half of the golden pillar with the dragon carved on it that was blocked by the screen. The brilliance made her quickly look for it.
He turned back to himself, looked sideways at Qi Dehai, and followed him toward the door without saying a word.
Unconsciously, there was another heavy feeling that pressed her down.
Ling Zihan knew that Xuanyuan Huang was inside, which made her feel a little calmer.
I don’t know how many doors I passed through, how many curtains I raised, and how many greetings I heard from palace maids and eunuchs. Ling Zihan finally came to a corner of the side hall, and saw Emperor Chen who was sitting firmly in front of the desk, and Xuanyuan, who was holding his left hand.
Brilliant.
There was no time to speak, no time to even exchange glances. As soon as Ling Zihan glanced at Xuanyuan Huang, the old man sitting on the seat started talking, and a majestic voice slowly came out: "Girl Han, if you want to see me, then
Do you really want to resign and leave Beijing?"
Of course Ling Zihan knew that if she resigned from Beijing at this time, she would tell Emperor Chen that I don't want you to be put under house arrest and that I would rather die than surrender. This would have an effect. But she couldn't leave things there, even if she tried her best.
, you have to give it a try.
Without pausing, Ling Zihan walked to Emperor Chen's desk and suddenly knelt down.
Her movements were not so smooth and free. It was obvious that she had rarely knelt before anyone in her age. But this kneeling was not so easy. The tiles on the ground were cold and biting, hard and indestructible, even through so many layers of clothes.
Her kneecaps were still sore and painful. But those feelings seemed to have faded due to the faith in her heart, and gradually she became numb.
She bowed her head, kowtowed three times in a dignified manner, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, my father, I and my daughter-in-law are brave enough to ask my father to allow me and my daughter-in-law to resign and leave the palace for more than a month."
Emperor Chen silently looked at Ling Zihan, his bottomless gaze making people shudder.
Xuanyuan Huang on the side wanted to help, but there was no chance. He originally wanted to kneel down with Ling Zihan, but was stopped by Ling Zihan's sudden look.
She not only needs a gamble, but also needs a fallback that can save her when the bet loses, and Xuanyuan Huang is that fallback.
It wasn't that Emperor Chen didn't notice the expressions on their faces. The original majestic look gradually turned into a playful smile, but the curve of the corners of their mouths was strange and puzzling.
After a pause, Emperor Chen played with the glass ball in his hand and then said: "Give me a reason. As long as you can convince me, I will let you leave the capital."
Ling Zihan was overjoyed, but at the same time, she was trembling with fear. It is equally dangerous to conspire with the emperor, but not to seek skin from a tiger. Especially in this era when the king dominates the world, as long as his order is given, it can really make you unable to sleep or die in peace.
Therefore, Ling Zihan responded more carefully, but also increased the stakes.
She groaned, her hand on the ground curled up slightly, then she let go and said, "My wife is going to the alliance altar, the alliance altar in the martial arts world."
Ling Zihan raised her head slightly and saw Emperor Chen looking at her silently and deeply. Her heartstrings that had just tightened relaxed a little bit. Then she continued: "My daughter-in-law has inherited the kindness and teachings of my master since she was a child.
, now there is news from the alliance forum that my wife’s uncle, the leader of the martial arts alliance, Yi Anliang, is trapped in the alliance forum. My wife can’t just sit back and watch, she must go and lend a helping hand.”
While Emperor Chen was observing her, Ling Zihan was also observing Emperor Chen quietly.
Just as she expected, Emperor Chen knew something, or in other words, he should have guessed something. When she mentioned the name "Yi Anliang", Emperor Chen's eyes changed again and again. And she
The word "An Liang" can be said to have left no trace. Now she only asks Emperor Chen to remember the old love and love Wujiwu, so that she can probably let them go.
The long silence was like a sign of a passing storm.
Fortunately, the storm did not blow over in the end, but blew elsewhere.
Emperor Chen said "hmm", then paused and said: "You are a weakling, what's the use of going there? It's better that you help your uncle seek help from the disciples. Even though I'm in the court, in the end I'm still
You know, the Tianshan sect is still very prestigious in the martial arts world."
"My father is unaware that Yi Anliang has severed ties with Tianshan since he succeeded to the position of leader of the martial arts alliance. In this case, the Tianshan faction will definitely not help. Although my daughter-in-law is a weakling, she knows how to repay her kindness.
I am here to gather my peers and provide material support..."
"Are you sure?" Emperor Chen didn't make a move, his expression was as pale as a long time, and he just interrupted Ling Zihan's words.
However, Ling Zihan felt something strange from the changes in his voice. When she lowered her head, she curled up her lips and said decisively: "I would rather spend all my money and fight to the death to rescue my uncle. Because——
"Ling Zihan suddenly raised her head, coquettishly
With unswerving determination in his eyes, he looked at Emperor Chen, restrained his usual playful lust, and gained a touch of fortitude that expressed his will and unbreakable belief. He continued what he had just said: "Because, my wife's master
Uncle, not just a master uncle..."
Emperor Chen paused for a moment, looked at Ling Zihan and raised his eyebrows slightly, then he smiled solemnly, his eyes clear.
After taking another sip of tea, Emperor Chen immediately raised his hand and pointed at Xuanyuan Huang, who was already restless in his heart, but his face was calm and calm, like a needle in the sea: "Why don't you go over and help your princess up."
Xuanyuan Huang had never been so engrossed in it before, as if he had been waiting for this sentence all this time. He looked at Ling Zihan reproachfully and distressedly, helped her up, and held her waist tightly with half of his arms, almost
He picked her up and supported her entire weight, preventing her from kneeling down again due to weakness caused by numbness in her knees.
Before they could sit down, Emperor Chen said again: "I thought of your filial piety, so I approved your resignation. But you are still a girl - Laojiu, you go with girl Han, you are her husband,
Everything will be well taken care of. In addition, I will secretly assign a team of troops to you, and be sure to rescue Miss Han’s uncle."
Ling Zihan breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy that she almost shed a few tears to show off.
She hurriedly leaned over, smiled slightly and shouted: "Thank you very much, Father! Long live Father! Long live Father!"
"Okay, okay, if you want to flatter me, we'll wait until the person is rescued. Laojiu, without further ado, you should set off as soon as possible. If you need anything on the way, please let me know at any time. But there is one thing. No matter what, there is no need to rush before New Year's Eve.
When you come back, you can’t delay the important event of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.”
The two looked at each other and thanked each other again.
Emperor Chen didn't keep them much longer. He waved his hand and asked Qi Dehai to send them out.
When he came back, Emperor Chen called Qi Dehai and said: "It seems that this fate cannot be avoided. Dehai, I promised Xiaocheng that I would find her biological brother for her. I also said that I would make him the king."
Uncle. But for my own sake, I have repeatedly wasted this matter, and now..."
He had known about the matter for a long time, but he had never taken action. Just like he had known that Yi Anliang was An Ran's younger brother, but he had never promised to travel.
He could have undone everything, but in the end he ran into the stumbling block of the title of emperor.
"Long live Lord, it's not too late now. Queen Xiaocheng has always understood Wan live's thoughts best. I believe that Queen Xiaocheng will definitely understand Wan live Lord's difficulties this time." Qi Dehai said respectfully, always mentioning Queen Xiao Cheng,
This Emperor Chen has to express many emotions, and this time is no exception.
After another round of words, Emperor Chen finally waved his hand and sighed: "That's all, let's take this opportunity to fulfill that promise."
"That's what Long Live Lord said." After bowing, Qi Dehai glanced outside the door and saw a figure hunching outside the door, and said: "Long Live Lord, it's getting late, you should have lunch."
Emperor Chen sighed silently a few more times and waved his hands in acquiescence. As if Qi Dehai had been pardoned, he hurried out and passed the meal in.
But as soon as the meal was introduced, someone came to announce - "Long live the Qi Dynasty, the general king is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
*
The crimson-colored sunset sets off the wild grass in the wilderness, which has a unique flavor.
But Ling Zihan had no intention of admiring this scenery.
Along the way, they hurried slowly, but with a team of people, even if they traveled day and night, the journey was still delayed.
After more than ten days in a row, we finally arrived near the town where the alliance altar is located.
"Looking at the weather, it seems like it's going to rain again."
Ling Zihan's heart was burning with anxiety. She had no choice but to follow closely with the people sent by Emperor Chen to monitor her. Fortunately, she had already ordered Xia Yang and Liu Yun to fight before she came.
Divided into two groups, one gathered fellow disciples and martial arts warriors and rushed to the alliance altar, while the other went to Beiyan to ask for help from the Northern Yan Crown Prince Murong Minyou. I hope that Anli can help.
After looking up at the sky for a while, Ling Zihan continued: "That's it, we have to go to Yunzhou. Just be quiet and let everyone camp here. Recharge your batteries and have a good rest for the night. We will continue tomorrow.
On the way."
Jinghao got off the carriage and conveyed the message. When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There was no expression of cheering on their faces, but everyone was very happy in their hearts. They were busy preparing the camp, but Ling Zihan was still sitting in the carriage.
She stood in a daze at the door, the car curtain was half rolled up, only half of it was exposed to her sight.
At this time, Xuanyuan Huang, who was leading the team, rode over on horseback. When he arrived in front of Ling Zihan's carriage, he jumped off the horse with a graceful and relaxed posture. If it weren't for his personality problem, the title of the most beautiful man in the world would definitely be
He also has his share.
"Why are you in a daze again?"
Xuanyuan Huang stooped into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and handed a white and tender fruit to Ling Zihan.
Ling Zihan took it easily, glanced at the square handkerchief in his hand, a ripple appeared in her heart, and then she smiled slightly: "You are not me, how do you know that I am in a daze? Maybe, I am practicing Zen and enlightenment.
It’s time to cultivate your health!”
"Are you not cultivating yourself enough these days?" Xuanyuan Huang asked with a playful smile and raised his eyebrows.
Ling Zihan curled her lips, snorted slightly, and ignored his teasing. However, her skin was getting thinner and thinner with each passing day. It was even slightly pink and slightly hot.
