The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 127

[Chapter 127]

Xie Ying did not enter the palace like Ruan Yu, and still handled affairs in one of his private residences.

The front arming has long been arranged densely. According to Xie Ying’s style, he rarely defends the city passively, but takes the time to take the initiative to attack. He didn’t plan to let these troops approach the capital at all.

Someone came in to present an item and said, “Prince, a letter from the Yan family.”

Shen Xingliu unfolded the letter, read it first, his face changed a little and returned to normal, and said, “Prince, it’s Yan Yu’er.”

Yan Yuer had long since expressed his goodwill to his eldest son, and expressed the hope of cooperating with the eldest son. The prince… also agreed. He also gave some advice to Yan Yuer, and sent many people to sneak into Jingzhou.

Yan Yu’er really acted according to the prince’s instructions, at least on the surface.

Xie Ying didn’t answer the letter, but asked, “What did she say this time?”

“Yan Yuer asked for the position of a noble concubine on the condition that she led 50,000 soldiers to join her. She said that she could even get rid of Yan Fengqin.” “Moreover, she wants to see the prince, and wants to discuss with the prince in person.”

The surrounding staff and generals all had subtle expressions on their faces. Sheng Ling has always been outspoken: “Such a poisonous woman, the prince can’t bear it!”

Xie Ying narrowed his eyes and snorted softly.

Han Yunrong said: “It’s really a coincidence, Xie Shao just wrote a letter, willing to make the prince the emperor. Yan Yu’er also came to submit.”

Sheng Qing frowned: “When Xie Shao entered Beijing… It’s hard not to think that he colluded with the Yan family. Shizi, I don’t agree with accepting Yan Yu’er and Xie Shao.

Xue Chengzhan said: “Yes, neither Yan Yuer nor Xie Shao can be trusted.”

Xie Ying finally said: “Send a letter to Xie Shao, if he really submits to me, then let him bring only two hundred relatives into Beijing, and the rest will stay where he is, and let Xue Chengzhan and Nie Zhao take over. , I… respect him as a brother and give him the position of prince. Otherwise, we will have to meet in battle.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all knew Xie Ying’s indifference to Xie Shao, but he said that he was willing to “respect each other as a brother”. Could it be because Xie Shao gave up his life to face Suowu Tower with the prince last time, and let the prince treat Xie Shao has changed? Or purely for political reasons.

“Yes, Prince.” No matter how surprised, Xue Chengzhan and Nie Zhao quickly got up and took orders.

Shen Xingliu asked, “Then how do you answer Yan Yu’er?”

“At Yan’s house, I’ll go by myself.”

Most of them objected: “Whether Yan Yu’er really turned against Yan Fengqin, or whether the two brothers and sisters deliberately set up a plan to lure the prince to go, it is yet to be known.”

Xie Yingli rejected all the opinions and settled on it like this. Start discussing other things.

… When the end came out, it was already on the branches of the moon, and it was not far from Gu Taiyan’s mansion, so Xie Ying stopped by.

“Can the teacher and the mistress still live in the Beijing when they are used to it?” Xie Ying thanked Mrs. Gu for the cabbage cooked water she made herself, and asked after drinking two sips.

Sheng Xiao still stayed in Weizhou, while Gu Taiyan went to Beijing to help Xie Ying control the political situation, and let Xie Ying concentrate on winning Jingzhou. Everyone in the court could see that Gu Taiyan must be the future chieftain.

Both of them were used to their answers, and Mrs. Gu added with a smile: “Nanci will also live with us after going to Beijing, which makes me even more gratified.”

When the other party talked about Gu Nanci, Xie Ying said: “Teacher, there are many talented people in Beijing, some of them are not yet married. Teacher can pay attention to the senior sister.”

Gu Taiyan’s expression did not change, and he nodded to indicate that he knew. Mrs. Gu’s smile froze slightly. The meaning is very clear, Xie Ying asked Gu Taiyan to find a husband for Gu Nanci.

The master and the apprentice talked again, and when Xie Ying left, Madam Gu couldn’t help but say, “Husband, what does A Ying mean? … Did he not plan to let Nanci enter the palace in the future?”

Gu Taiyan said calmly: “I didn’t plan to let Nanci enter the palace. A Ying has always regarded her as her sister since she was a child. Can’t you see that?”

Madam Gu said anxiously, “Yes, but our Nanci…”

Gu Taiyan said: “Okay! She has been willful for so many years, and it should be the end.”

Seeing that her husband’s words and tone all revealed her disappointment with her daughter, although Mrs. Gu was a little unwilling, she had to stop.

When Xie Ying returned to Zhu Yi’s mother and son, the two were already asleep.

The man kissed the big one and the small one on the cheek, then turned to look at the big one.

Zhu Yi used to be very dishonest when she slept, but now she is holding the child in her heart, and she can keep a position without moving, and has never pressed A Rong.

Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi’s well-behaved sleeping position, stroked her fingers, and raised the corners of her mouth.

On the second day, Xie Ying really led the army to Songzhou, where Yan Yuer’s letter agreed to meet.

Yan Yuer waited for a few days in Banyuegang, Songzhou, and finally saw the dust flying in the distance, and countless iron cavalry riding on the mountains and rivers came in turmoil. She knew that the person she had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.

Sure enough, the face of the leader became clearer and clearer, it was Xie Ying.

Yan Yuer still had a shudder from her spine when she saw Xie Ying, a feeling of fear and excitement at the same time. She watched the figure of Xuan Ang dismount and walked towards her, and said slowly, “Xie Ying, you are finally here.”

“Ask me here to discuss something, just tell me.”

“It’s nothing else, it’s just what the letter said. I know that you must leave the position of the queen to Zhu Yi. Therefore, I only want the position of the concubine.”

Xie Ying showed an inexplicable smile: “Yan Yu’er, you used the military power that I won for you, and asked me to change things? Am I a big loss?”

Yan Yuer was furious in her heart. She gave him herself and her entire net worth, and she actually got the word “loss” to describe her. But she didn’t show it on her face, only said: “You helped me win military power, but I also helped you hold Yan Fengqin and bought you so much time.”

The other party did not agree: “Yan Yu’er, you have to make it clear that the troops you claim belong to you, they did not leave the Yan family because they wanted to follow you, but to follow Zhu Xiujing. If they say that they are holding Yan Fengqin, naturally Zhu Xiujing’s contribution is even greater.”

“Nonsense, Zhu Xiujing is just one of my dogs!” Yan Yu’er said contemptuously, “How often have you seen a dog take credit for the master?”

As soon as Yan Yu’er finished her words, she glanced at Xie Ying’s eyes for a while, her pupils dilated instantly, and before she could react, the silver light was already in front of her. In the next instant, Yan Yu’er was pierced by a cold arrow through her throat.

There stood Zhu Xiujing, who had not yet put down his bow.

Yan Yu’er raised her hand to hold her neck in pain, looking at each other in disbelief.

“Zhu Xiujing!” She wanted to scold, but she couldn’t make a sound, so she could only look at Xie Ying again. “Xie Ying, save me, if you don’t save me, you will regret it…”

However, the arrow was so sharp that she moved her lips, and without making a sound, she stared at the dust. Unable to close her eyes, she clearly showed her unbelief and unwillingness, but there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yan Hao and others, who were more than ten steps away from Yan Yuer, rushed towards Zhu Xiujing angrily. Xie Ying took out his knife and caught up with Yan Hao. He quickly helped Zhu Xiujing solve several problems.

Among the blood-soaked corpses, Zhu Xiujing’s voice was very gloomy: “The Yan family is not a good thing. Not only want to use my name, but also afraid that I won’t give up the throne… King Jinghai treats me like this, I will let it go. Both his sons and daughters died tragically.”

Every word is hate.

Xie Ying had already received a secret report that King Jinghai had Zhu Xiujing castrated on the day he was proclaimed emperor in Jingzhou. After castration, Zhu Xiujing was neither yin nor yang, so naturally he could not imagine the real dragon position.

But for a man, especially a man who used to be a prince, what a pain and shame it is. In order to compete for that position, the dark and bloody side of the human heart is revealed.

Yan Yuer, an idiot, actually thought that Zhu Xiujing was so fascinated by her like Yan Hao, that he didn’t even want a man’s self-esteem.

Zhu Xiujing suddenly said: “Thank you for taking in Ah Chuo and not letting her go to the Yan family. Otherwise, King Jinghai might use her to do something.”

Xie Ying said: “You don’t have to thank me. I am not out of kindness, but selfishness.”

No one who is involved in political battles and can gain the upper hand is the good kind. Zhu Xiujing naturally understood, but no matter what Xie Ying’s purpose was, it was a fact that he treated his sister well.

Zhu Xiujing had no threat to the throne, and he wanted to kill Yan Fengqin. With such a good blade, Xie Ying would naturally use it well. Xie Ying’s pity for Weizhou soldiers was well-known in Da Zhou, and he was most pleased to be able to defeat the enemy without letting his soldiers be damaged.

Xie Ying took Yan Hao and Yan Yuer’s tokens, threw them to Zhu Xiujing, and said, “Let’s go, let’s find Yan Fengqin together.”

While on the way, Xie Ying received an important message – Xie Shao agreed to his request, except for his personal guards, all other troops could be handed over to Xie Ying.

Xie Ying was not surprised by this. Before Xie Shao left Weizhou and went south, he took the initiative to talk to him for a long time. At that time, he had a glimpse of today’s clues, so he could rest assured that only Xue Chengzhan and Nie Zhao would deal with Xie Shao.

So far, Xie Shao has surrendered to Xie Ying. Another Yan family army, led by Zhu Xiujing, also turned against each other. Xie Ying intentionally spread these news into the Yan family army to shake the morale of the other party.

On the south side of Yan Fengqin’s army, Li Jingzong, the governor of Huzhou, had been taken as his own by Xie Yingping when he was a bandit.

Another Xie Yingqin led an army of 100,000 people to advance from the north.

Yan’s army was attacked by the three-way army, and there was almost no suspense.

Xie Ying was a little restless for the past two days, always feeling that something was going to happen. He always remembered Yan Yu’er’s weird smile before she died, and her mouth shape – the word “Zhu Yi”. Xie Ying thought over and over again, handed over the power of the general to Sheng Qing, and returned to the capital.

Xie Ying only brought a personal follower, and rushed to the chase. When I arrived in Zhou County, not far from Beijing, it rained heavily at night, so I checked into an inn. Just as he was about to take a rest, someone reported to him, “Your Highness, the carriage of Miss Nanci came outside.”

When Xie Ying heard the words, she wanted to go out to say hello: “Nanci? It’s such a coincidence, where are you going out of Beijing?”

Gu Nanci just walked up to the second floor. She didn’t expect to meet Xie Ying in Zhouxian County. She looked at the man standing by the railing, with Ye Yudenghui behind her, talking to herself.

Gu Nanci stared blankly at Xie Ying’s handsome facial features covered with a soft dizziness by the light of the lantern, the thought that had been locked up in her heart for many years finally broke out, she said softly, “I was going to find you. If you want to recruit Yan Fengqin in person, I’m not worried.”

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Xie Ying realized that her words were wrong. The other party had always been sloppy, and he had never expressed concern for him so frankly, and he had never been so gentle. Not even the eyes are right.

Thank you frowning. The reason why he kept in touch with Gu Nanci was not only because of his friendship since childhood, but also because he was very calm, and he never felt that she had any affection for him from Gu Nanci. Maybe they are too familiar, if Gu Nanci didn’t express it too clearly, he didn’t notice it.

Xie Ying thought about it for a while, his tone was deliberately light, and said: “What’s the matter? I used to go out on expeditions often.”

Gu Nanci seemed to fall into his own thoughts and said, “Xie Ying, a god once entrusted me with a dream, between you and Yan Fengqin, Zhu Yi actually loves Yan Fengqin. She has poisoned you, this time you If you go out to fight against Yan Fengqin, you will be harmed by her.”

With Xie Ying’s desire to dominate Zhu Yi, where can I hear that the man Zhu Yi loves is actually Yan Fengqin. Not to mention that he knows that Zhu Yi loves only himself, even if Zhu Yi really belongs to another person in his heart, he will not allow others to say it.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve never been poisoned.” Xie Ying’s face was no longer good-looking. Looking at Gu Nanci’s dreamy expression, she realized that something was wrong with her sanity. This is the second time Gu Nanci talked about his dream. But wasn’t that Zhu Youshi already killed by him last time? Is there anyone else doing evil?

Gu Nanci was tortured by repeated dreams for more than a year and his will was weak, and she said eagerly: “You have been poisoned, but you don’t know it. I wanted to save you, so I used medicine on her to control her. At that time, it is better to discuss the conditions with Yan Fengqin…”

Before she could finish speaking this time, Xie Ying clasped her wrist tightly. The man’s suspicious and scrutinizing eyes were so sharp that she shivered from the bottom of her heart. “What did you say? You drugged Jue?”

Gu Nanci frowned, Xie Ying had never been rude to her, let alone grabbing her so violently that her wrists felt as if they were about to break.

Xie Ying suppressed the violence that was pouring out of his heart, and said impatiently, “What did you give her? Give me the antidote.”

“You don’t have to worry, it doesn’t hurt your body.”

“I said give me the antidote.” Xie Ying emphasized in a deep voice, his hand finally caught on Gu Nanci’s slender neck and tightened in response.

Gu Nanci looked at Xie Ying’s eyes that were already full of murderous intent, and had no doubt that if she didn’t tell the truth, Xie Ying would really kill her.

The woman’s tears rolled down her cheeks and said with difficulty: “I lied to you! I wanted to drug her, but I thought she was still feeding the baby… I didn’t!”

Sang Qing, who was on the side, hurriedly said: “Prince, it’s true. Miss Nanci has never seen Concubine Shizi recently.”

The person who spoke was a girl from a female camp who was responsible for guarding Gu Nanci, and Xie Ying believed it a little.

He let go of Gu Nanci and said to Shen Xingliu, who was already a little confused by the side, “Take Gu Nanci and go back to Beijing overnight!” He had roughly guessed that Yan Yu’er’s reaction before his death was probably related to Gu Nanci.

Shen Xingliu hurriedly answered yes. He knew that even if Gu Nanci really didn’t do anything, the prince and her would never be the same again.

A group of people rushed to the capital overnight in the heavy rain.

When Xie Ying arrived home, Zhu Yi was holding A Rong’s cradle and talking to Zhu Ning and Zhu Chuo in the yard. Behind the three sisters was a haze of begonias.

Ah Rong’s appearance has gradually changed over the past few months, and he is already a little jade-like person. After seeing it for the first time, one can’t help but look at it carefully.

The fair and tender little face was fleshy, and the black crystal eyes under the long eyelashes blinked occasionally, chasing after the things he was interested in curiously. He also wears a small wreath on his head, which Zhu Chuo made for him.

A Rong has known people since he was a child. He usually doesn’t smile when other people tease him. He has a cool little face. When his mother fiddles with him a little, he will grin happily.

Seeing such a picture, Xie Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still not completely relieved. He had to give Zhu Yi a good pulse, and he would only know after the examination, so he stepped forward, and regardless of Zhu Ning and Zhu Chuo’s presence, he took Zhu Yi’s hand and said, “Come in with me, Yiyi.”

Zhu Chuo watched the figures of the two disappear, and giggled: “As soon as I come back, take the third child into the house, to see that my brother-in-law is anxious!”

“A Chuo!” Zhu Ning glared at her lightly.

After being asked a lot of physical questions by Xie Ying, Zhu Yi wondered: “The war is not over yet, your coach will come back first?”

After confirming that Zhu Yi was okay, Xie Ying said slowly, “Why should I be there in a battle that must be won. The military merit is left to them to earn.”

The disparity in strength is indeed a sure-fire battle.

Jingzhou was defeated, and the prince of Jinghai, Yan Fengqin, was covered by the heavy armored battalion, and he took his personal followers to break out of the encirclement, and disappeared from the Central Plains since then.

On May 3 of the same year, Xie Ying, the son of Prince Wei Ning, ascended the throne and made a sacrifice to the temple of heaven and earth.

On the 16th day of July in the first year of Taijia, a ceremony was held.

Ordinarily, it shouldn’t take such a long time to stand up, but Xie Ying has two considerations. First, because of the weather, after entering the early autumn, Zhu Yi will be spared the pain of the scorching sun. The second is because Zhu Yi’s phoenix robe has been made for a long time.

On the day of the ceremony, hundreds of officials stood solemnly, drums and music blared in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

The red sun rises from the mist of the peaks and peaks, the sunlight flows through the eaves of the palaces, sprinkles on the golden glass tiles of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and even shines on the white face of Xin Hou, which is lit with saffron flowers.

The phoenix robe’s white ground, pearlescent silk satin, and red threads intertwined with gold and silver are phoenix feathers, decorated with peony shoulders. No matter which direction you look at, the queen’s posture is like a new lotus and jade, graceful and elegant.

The young new emperor stood in front of the hall, with a smile on his face, watching the empress’s red Luo skirt spread over the layers of alchemy, walking towards him…

Thank you for being woken up by Emperor Zunshuai every day, Duoling, a squirrel*8, Zimu, Luo Luoqi, qiyss, and God! , Flower Lantern Festival, zaza, tea without tea, mines, and those who put nutrient solution.

Xie Ying and Yiyi are going to say goodbye to the little angel, thank you for your encouragement and company to the author.

Everyone’s extra requests have been seen, but because there are too many fancy styles, I can’t write them all. I wrote the ones that everyone mentioned the most.

In addition, don’t think that it is over as soon as the emperor becomes the emperor. The title of the emperor crowning the pearl is not relevant. In fact, this title is a metaphor that the princesses are pearls that add luster to the imperial power, and have nothing to do with the identity of the male protagonist.

The next article is Wei Ziwu’s love story. There are still many stories I want to share with you in the future. If possible, please bookmark the new article and author, thank you~
