When it was extremely cold outside the Great Wall, she only wore a fur coat and the cool breeze blew through the yard.
After a while, a thin and frail figure came out of the corner tremblingly. She raised her face, and looked at Yelu Qingge's slightly angry handsome face with a pair of black eyes, holding herself up.
He said firmly: "The person I met when I got up at night was not eavesdropping on purpose."
He frowned with thick eyebrows and stared at her for a long time. With a sullen face, he stretched out his hand towards her.
"come over."
She stepped forward and put her cold little hand into his, her aura suddenly weakened a lot. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop." She waited for a long time and he didn't reply, and was a little worried, so she took advantage of Su Guna's deep sleep.
, quietly slipped out of the dormitory to look for him.
His big hands were as warm as the charcoal stove in the house.
Even though a big event was about to happen, when he saw her, his usually cold and majestic eyes still showed a touch of warmth involuntarily. "Just stay still and don't talk too much."
"Yeah." She was sensible and knew it was not the time for her to interrupt.
Agula had been standing bowed, not daring to raise his head. After Yelu Qingge pondered for a moment, he ordered: "Agula, please send more manpower around the post house, and also strengthen the various fortress intersections entering Beidi City.
We must also send guards to patrol, especially the Bai Xingtu Mountains." He was afraid that if something unexpected happened to his uncle, the Wuya family would not give up the throne to the eldest prince, and the queen would definitely use secret guards to come to the north.
He rescued Yelu Longchang and returned to the court to usurp power.
"Yes, General!" Agula was about to take the order and leave, but Muren's rough voice came from outside, burning with anxiety, as if his buttocks were burned by fire. "General, it's not good!"
"Why are you panicking?" Yelu Qingge showed hesitation on his face. His favorite general, Muren, was the most reckless and could not calm down in anything.
The figure who rushed in from the door of Shanhe Zhaiyuan seemed to have turned into a snowman. Except for a pair of tiger eyes like copper bells, even his beard was covered with white snow particles. Muren didn't bother to clean himself up and bowed.
He saluted and said: "General, the subordinates guarding the post house urgently report that there is a fire in the North Post House. The second prince... His Highness... he is missing!"
Mei Liangchen felt a sudden pain in his palm. He looked up and saw that there was indeed a blazing fire in the direction of the post house...
Agula was shocked and said: "General, I'm afraid that the chamberlain captured by the last general is a bait!" Since the chamberlain is a close confidant of the queen, how could he easily hand over the top-secret letter to Agula? Queen Wuya is very thoughtful and must have thought about it in advance.
After making a plan, he used the chamberlain as a bait to deliberately distract Yelu Qingge's attention, then made an attack in the east and west, and assigned secret guards to rescue the second prince and return him to the court.
"General, the last general has sent additional manpower to strengthen inspections at various fortress intersections," Muren said.
Yelu Qingge's face became darker and his voice was cold: "Not enough! Muren, Agula, you personally lead people to pick the best military horses to chase. As long as it is the territory of Beidi City, don't let go of an inch!"
"
"Yes, General!"
"Please rest assured, general, as long as the second prince is still within the boundaries of Beidi City, the general will have to dig three feet into the ground to dig him out!" Muren and Agula hurried away.
"Rasu Jung!"
"Sir." Rasurong looked worried and walked out from the side to salute.
Yelu Qingge asked: "Will the carrier pigeon return today?"
"I haven't returned yet, but I'm counting the days. News from the palace should have come back in the past two days!" The spirit pigeon raised in the palace since childhood has to travel back and forth between Beidi City and the palace in Shangjing City every month to deliver news.
, in the past few days, when the spirit pigeons returned, there was still no sign of the spirit creature. It must be because of the sudden change in weather that hindered their journey.
Yelu Qingge frowned and didn't respond for a while.
He stood for a moment, then dismissed Lasu Rong and led Mei Liangchen back.
Looking at his worried side face, she also felt worried: "Yelu Qingge, do you think the emperor is still alive?" Without receiving news from Lingge, no one dared to speculate on the life or death of Emperor Tianyun, but
, Yelu Qingge, as the emperor's nephew, and well aware of the battles in the court, must have anticipated some bad results in his heart, otherwise, he would not have a solemn expression, and his whole body would be full of uncontrollable emotions.
The cold murderous aura.
He held her hand, crossed the threshold, and stepped into the warm spring-like bedroom.
"I don't know either, Mayne. But my uncle should have expected that this day would come to him, so he handed over the military talisman to me in advance." Last time, Siegdu took the risk to come to the North City to announce the decree, and the decree was fulfilled.
Not only was he asked to protect the eldest prince Yelu Longsheng from ascending the throne with all his strength, he was also given the imperial edict to pass on the throne and the tiger talisman for dispatching cavalry troops to Beijing at will, and ordered him to step forward in times of crisis and do his best to stabilize the country of Min Liao for generations.
power.
Along with the imperial edict, there was also a private letter. The uncle wrote that the Queen was evil-minded and had murderous intentions as early as when he came up with the idea of passing the throne to the eldest prince. She bribed the palace officials in the Imperial Kitchen and Imperial Hospital to control his diet and food.
The drug was poisoned. Although the toxicity was not violent, over time, the toxin attacked the heart, and it was difficult for gods to save him. Emperor Tianyun said that it was too late when he discovered the queen's conspiracy. He was seriously ill and blind, and his relatives had exclusive power, so he was unable to save him.
The only person Emperor Tianyun trusted in his life was his nephew Yelu Qingge. Only by entrusting the eldest prince to his protection could he return to the west with peace of mind. In the private letter, Emperor Tianyun spoke sincerely and put down the dignity of the emperor. The words between the lines are full of decades of experience.
Although Yelu Qingge is cold and difficult to get close to, only those who know him well know that he is a person who values friendship more than life.
Regardless of whether that person is his biological uncle, even if it is a simple relationship between monarch and minister, he will risk his life to protect the eldest prince's success in ascending to the throne.
"Alas..." Mei Liangchen sighed, and gently snuggled into his embrace standing by the window. "I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I can't help you with anything..."
He lowered his head, pressed his cheek against her forehead, and kissed those black eyes that could speak. "You can protect me, which is the greatest comfort to me. Mayne, promise me that you will always stay by my side, okay?"
"
She nodded heavily, raised her face, and kissed his sad eyes.
