The day Feng Hongluan disappeared, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Although he ordered the whole city to search for traces of Feng Hongluan, he searched all over the city to no avail.
Even if she was kidnapped by a thief, the thief had only two purposes for taking Feng Hongluan away. One was to ask for money, and the other was to covet beauty.
But people in the world never offend the imperial court. This is a clear law. Who would have the guts to kidnap Feng Hongluan and her daughter?
And who has the ability to disappear without a trace with a pair of living people in one day?
Sitting on the dragon chair of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the only reason he could think of for Feng Hongluan and Xiao Tang Yuan to disappear without a trace was the cooperation of their mother and daughter.
Feng Hongluan has martial arts skills, how could she be kidnapped so easily.
This guess, although it was just a guess, made the man in the dragon chair panic a little.
There is only one person in the world who can make Feng Hongluan and her daughter leave Jin Prince's Mansion and follow that person willingly.
"Xiaoyan!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly call Prince Jin's name?"
Eunuch Mo asked carefully.
He held his forehead and looked tired. In order to obtain this superior position, his hands were stained with the blood of his relatives. Hong Yan was not his person and saw the swollen body being thrown into the water with his own eyes. Wasn't he also?
Did you see it with your own eyes? Even the small scars on the knuckles, the birthmark on the shoulder, the length of the hair and the clothes, they are all Hongyan's.
Hong Yan is dead. He personally sent people to murder him. It was reported in the news a year ago.
Not long after he killed his mother.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to still be able to see in front of him the scene of his young brothers playing together at the knees of his mother. His heart was suddenly surrounded by pain, and it started to throb for no reason.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Someone's here. Let's have a cup of tea."
"Yes, Eunuch Mo!"
The maid hurried down to make tea. After a while, a cup of fragrant tea was brought in. Eunuch Mo took it with his own hands and sent the tea to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea. I'll take a look at you, Dr. Xuan."
He raised his hand to indicate no need, slowly opened his eyes, and his expression had recovered somewhat.
"Tomorrow we will strengthen our troops and dig deep into the ground to find Princess Jin and the princess. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and pass on your instructions right now. Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea and calm down."
He nodded, took a sip of tea, looked back at the pile of memorials, and waved to Eunuch Mo: "Go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant...is gone."
After hesitating for a moment, Shao Qing, Eunuch Mo walked down the steps covered with red carpet step by step. He looked back at the tall man, with a farewell smile on his lips, and left the hall.
The night wind was already very cold, so he stepped up his pace and walked to a secluded part of the Imperial Garden. He took out a bamboo tube from his waist and opened it, only to see a fiery red light rising into the sky.
He smiled with relief, saying that in this life, the favor would be repaid.
There was a dagger in his left hand at some point, and he looked around the palace. He remembered clearly who kept him alive back then.
And he also understood who had allowed him to stay high and enjoy all the glory and wealth in these years.
Live up to the Tathagata and live up to your Majesty. If he has repaid his kindness in this life, he will not have the chance to serve the Emperor again. Then let him go to Huangquan Road and clear the way for the Emperor first.

"Miss, come and see."
The stars that filled the sky were moving quickly towards the city.
Feng Hongluan came out of the house and looked up at the fire in the sky, feeling very surprised.
"Miss, what is this?"
What is this? These fires flying in the sky seem familiar.
Yes, it was the bamboo basket that Hongyan took her to fly into the sky that year, and she even spread pancakes on it.
Hongyan?
I instantly became excited. It was definitely Hongyan. It was definitely Hongyan.
She had been thinking about how he could lead a large number of troops into the city quietly when the city gate was heavily guarded. Now she finally knew.
"Miss, do you think that is a human being?"
"Liuxiang, he is back, your uncle is back."
*
When two thousand elite soldiers landed in the imperial city one after another, they almost illuminated the entire imperial city.
The soldiers guarding the city were unable to defend themselves against the "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals". They had no time to guard the city gate. Within a quarter of an hour, the entire palace gate was captured. The entire palace woke up. Five thousand guards in brocade robes gathered urgently. They fought, screamed, and hoofed with iron hooves.
Increase, the fire is raging.
This night, this city is destined to sleepless.
The emperor, who was about to go to bed, was startled by the sound outside. Shaoqing saw a eunuch covered in blood crawling in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well."
"What happened?"
"Someone is attacking the city and the city gate has been broken down."
"What!" He stood up in shock, but only felt a stinging pain in his chest, and a thick stream of blood gushes from his throat.
Looking at the blood on the ground in disbelief, he suddenly thought of that cup of tea.
Eunuch Mo, the person who can make Eunuch Mo rebellious.
"Who leads the troops?"
"Yes Yes……"
"Say!" he roared, drawing another mouthful of blood.
The eunuch was trembling: "It's King Jin. I saw it. The man standing high on the tower is King Jin."
"Ahem! Poof..." There was another mouthful of thick blood, "Xiaoyan!"
He didn't die, he didn't die.
"I have given you an oral order that all the soldiers from the barracks in the west of the city will be sent to the palace to rescue him, and people will be sent to guard Feng Mansion. No mosquitoes will be allowed in, and no one will be allowed to come out."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"My sword!"
"Your Majesty..."
"My sword!"
He roared angrily, and his heart hurt even more, but he would never allow anyone to desecrate his throne. This was a position he was sworn to defend to the death, and it was the result of betrayal and separation from his relatives. He had already paid so much, so with more permission
No one is allowed to get close to this position. That dragon chair belongs to him, and this world belongs to him too, and it all belongs to him.
The eunuch trembled and handed over his sharp sword. He forced his luck to suppress the poisonous gas in his body, opened the door and flew towards the center of the fight.
On the city tower, the cold wind was blowing, the sound of swords being delivered was heard endlessly, sparks were flying, and a man in a red feather robe held a long sword in his hand and fought bloody battles.
His red robe was already stained with blood, and his handsome face was filled with a deathly coldness and coldness. He drew his sword very quickly and accurately, and every sword was filled with blood. No one dared to approach him.
, the bodies around him were piled up like a mountain, and even his hair was dripping with red blood.
"Come on, come on!"
A small commander kept pushing the subordinate next to him, but the man was tentative and did not dare to approach, with fear on his face.
The blood-stained man opposite him raised his head, his long hair flying wildly in the wind. He stood with a blood-stained face, a familiar face that was frightening to see.
"No, no, I don't dare to go up there. That's King Jin, that's a ghost."
The soldier finally threw away his armor and ran away like crazy, but before he could take two steps, he was killed by the oncoming sharp sword.
"Whoever dares to escape will be executed at the drop of a hat. Soldiers, kill, kill, kill!"
In the night wind, he was dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a line of blood splashing on his face. His face was pale, but his eyes were cold and sharp, looking at the man directly opposite him.
The young general between the two of them did not dare to advance or retreat. Just as he was hesitating, a sudden blow struck him on the neck. Before he could see clearly who was attacking him and what weapon, he was already wide-eyed.
His eyes closed and he stopped breathing in fear.
"Master, let your subordinates deal with him."
A woman dressed in a golden phoenix dress stood beside Hong Yan with a dashing air. The weapon in her hand was a double-groove iron chain. A slender iron chain had a sharp iron hook tied to both sides.
What just ended the little commander's life was this iron hook that seemed to be slender, weak and easy to break.
Opposite Hong Yan, the emperor in dragon robes looked shocked at the woman's appearance. After a while, he looked up at the sky and laughed wildly.
"Queen! Haha, hahahaha, queen, my queen, kill me..."
He didn't expect that people around him had already become his.
Queen, so the prince and his son were also the hands of the queen, right?
He did not execute Hongzhi but listened to his brothers' plea and exiled Hongzhi because he actually felt in his heart that what happened to the prince that night was definitely not done by Hongzhi.
He had already taken away the throne from Hong Zhi, and that was the last mercy he could show to Hong Zhi.
He thought about many people, but he never suspected that the queen was responsible.
That day, Hong Yan did not go up the mountain. Who else could lead the prince away except the queen?
It was as if there was a flame in his heart. If the flame didn't explode, it would burn him alive. The queen, his woman, the woman he trusted the most.
"ah!"
Waving her sword and stepping forward, the queen wanted to raise her hook to fight, but Hong Yanping pushed her back.
"Tonight is the decisive battle between our brothers. You stand down."
Why on earth did that woman, who was so arrogant to the world, give up her superior status and become a maidservant beside him who could be called upon at will?
He hates, he hates.
After the prince's death, the queen mother had been whispering in his ears three times a day to make Hong Yan the crown prince's younger brother.
Eunuch Mo had served him for many years and ended up poisoning him for Hong Yan.
Wang Xiafei, a secret guard whom he had trained for five or six years, rebelled and blamed Hongzhi for the prince's death.
Now even the woman he was in love with was actually from Hongyan.
He wants to kill Hong Yan, kill him.
The fight passed, and his attacks were vicious, fast, and fierce, but he was a poisoned person after all. Hong Yan just blocked with one hand and did not make any moves, but he could not hurt Hong Yan at all.
On the city wall, brothers fight.
Under the city wall, the two armies fought.
Although Hong Yan only brought 3,000 elite soldiers, he teamed up with the Korean and Japanese states in batches and had already brought countless women to the palace and Beijing. These women had all received his kindness and were raised in his villa to repay their death.
A group of orphan girls whom he favored.
Now, several young girls were lying in the pool of blood on the armor.
Among these faces, every time I see a woman next to me, the long sword waving crazily becomes even more fierce.
Hong Yan took action, and he finally took action.
Brotherly love, he only allowed it so far.
What comes next is nothing but hatred.
His swordsmanship is from the same master as that of the emperor, and is on par with him. However, he has long expected that such a day would come to him over the years, so he has been practicing martial arts secretly. His kung fu is not even the number one leader in the martial arts world.
The opponent, not to mention the emperor in front of him who was busy with government affairs and neglected to practice martial arts.
It was just ten moves. When the cold sword blade was placed on the bright yellow collar, the revenge was just a stroke away.
"Master, you can't do it, let your subordinates do it for you."
The queen's eyes were cold and ruthless.
He looked at her with hatred.
Yes, if she had feelings, how could she not hesitate to kill her own son?
If she was in love, how could she have stayed by his side for so many years?
She is the same type of person as him.
"Hahahaha, hahaha, hahaha!"
The cold wind was hunting him, his laughter was heart-wrenching and he was desperate and resigned to his fate.
The sword on his neck finally slipped off, and the bright yellow robe was gradually stained with bright red blood. The tall body slowly fell to the ground.
He put away the sword, which was given to him by his father. He never thought that this sword would be stained with the blood of his brother.
"master……"
"Take him to the purple bamboo forest outside the city. My mother will take care of his funeral. In any case, he is also my mother's son."
"Yes, Master!"
Looking at Hong Yan with complicated eyes, the queen stepped forward, picked up the bodyless yellow body, and flew out of the city with a light step.
Under the tower, someone shouted.
"The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead."
Some people lamented: "Kill to avenge the emperor."
After a night of bloody fighting, the next morning, corpses were strewn across the fields. On top of the city tower, he was bathed in the first morning light, covered in blood, but his eyes were even colder and more serious.
This will be his world.
He never thought about it because he didn't want it.
But now I think about it because I have to.
*
When Yang Yun climbed up the ladder and came in, Feng Hongluan and Liu Xiang stayed up all night.
The sounds of fighting in the city touched their hearts.
It wasn't until Yang Yun came back and told Feng Hongluan that Hongyan had won a great victory, killed the emperor, intercepted the emperor's reinforcements, and that a large force had entered the capital, Feng Hongluan's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, and his heart was nervous all night.
Finally settled.
Liu Xiang and Yang Yun supported her from left to right.
Looking at Liuxiang, even if Feng Hongluan didn't say anything, Yang Yun could still guess who the woman in front of her was because she had seen this face too many times in the paintings that Feng Hongluan usually spent time in.
.
I can't help feeling secretly disappointed. The most important person in the master's life is back, right?
She didn't care about the identity of the eldest maid, she only cared about her status in Feng Hongluan's mind.
Don't seek to be the most important, just seek a place.
After all, this is the first person to treat her as a human being.
"Master, let's go home. The prince has taken over the entire imperial city. From now on, the master will be the queen of the world!"
"hehe!"
She held her forehead and smiled happily.
Queen is nothing more than a title. There is only one thing she wants, and that is Hong Yan.
I haven't seen him for a year, but he's fine and he's lost weight.
Was he injured during this intense stand?
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to go home any longer. She stabilized her body and walked out quickly, leaving Yang Yun and Liu Xiang to trot all the way to keep up with her.
When she returned, half of the house was covered in ashes. In order to escape from the eyes that day, she had to use this method.
Although it hurts, there are too many details between her and Hong Yan recorded here, and she failed to protect the Jin Palace for Hong Yan.
But her home can be rebuilt, and as long as Hong Yan is here, she will be happy even if she has nothing.
After hiding in Prince Huai's Mansion for several days, she was unkempt and in rags. She was afraid that Hong Yan would see her like this. The first thing she did when she returned was to have someone boil water for a bath.
Fragrant bath water, Yang Yun and Liu Xiang were waiting on the side, one of them wiped her body, and the other combed her long hair. She was really tired and closed her eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
Vaguely, she felt someone kissing her lips and teeth.
She groaned and opened her eyes. The familiar face in front of her instantly made her eyes turn red.
"Hongyan!"
"Little Miss, are you dreaming?"
Opening her eyes and looking around, she saw only Yang Yun and Liu Xiang. She was slightly embarrassed. She was dreaming. She could see him coming back, and she also dreamed of his warm lips and teeth kissing her gently.
She didn't say anything strange.
Looking at Yang Yun and Liu Xiang, they only had puzzled looks on their faces, but they didn't mean to laugh. She probably didn't say anything nonsense.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I missed her so much.
No one will know what it feels like to miss someone that goes deep into your bones.
If missing is a kind of disease, she would probably be terminally ill, but what about him?
*
In the Qiankun Hall, he held the late emperor's decree in his hand, and beside him stood a woman in a sapphire blue dress. Above the court hall, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, their faces were either frightened, disobedient, contemptuous, or surrendered, with thousands of faces.
But when he opened the imperial edict and read the contents inside, everyone in the hall was shocked.
"Whether it is my father's edict or not, I think the bachelors in the fourth hall and the second pavilion should know best. Please come up and identify it."
The six ministers are all cabinet ministers. They are the most powerful civil servants besides the prime minister, and they are also loyal veterans of the court.
If they verify that the edict is correct, then his destruction of the city and the killing of the king is not an uprising, but the return of the property to its original owner.
The six ministers came forward together and read the imperial edict. They were all shocked and knelt down.
"It's the late emperor's handwriting and private seal."
"If you don't believe it, this person should be familiar to you too."
He pointed to the woman in blue beside him.
Yes, everyone is no stranger to her, the daughter of the former general, Xia Rongling.
"The death of my father who had his heart ripped out was not caused by a concubine waiting for an opportunity as rumored in the market, but by an assassin sent by the emperor. Just because my father held the imperial edict of the late emperor, think about it, why did my father die?
The emperor wants to kill all my Xia family because the imperial edict is still in the hands of my Xia family, and if the imperial edict is not available, he will not have peace of mind."
As soon as this statement came out, even those who had doubts before now felt sad.
"Ministers, if the emperor is a wise king, even if he fakes the imperial edict and conspires to seize the throne, I will not gather all the heroes to kill him. I dare to ask you, you may swallow the hatred of mother murder, and you may tolerate the hatred of brother murder.
Not to mention, and also, personal death?”
"The hatred of mother-killing, the hatred of brother-killing, and personal death!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Could it be..."
"not……"
"Ministers, as kings, they govern benevolently, but a man who is unkind and cruel to his own family, dare to ask whether he can sit on the throne of the emperor? Everyone thought that the death of the Queen Mother was due to cold malaria.
In fact, the emperor secretly conspired to kill him with poison. Do you still remember this person, the second prince Honghan, the son of Concubine Xiang? I witnessed the emperor's brother pouring poison into him and causing his death. As for me, do you really think that,
I would accidentally fall into the flood. Thirty-nine assassins. Each one uses the swordsmanship that I am familiar with. Each one is the secret guard of the emperor. Oh, ministers, this is what I have to say.
.The emperor is dead. This world is my king’s world. Those who surrender will be treated with courtesy by me. Those who do not return will not be forced to stay. My king’s world includes my dead mother and queen, my dead brother, all of them.
They will all come back. And I will definitely abide by my father’s last edict.”
After saying these words, he threw up his sleeves and strode down the hall.
He wanted to go home. If it weren't for the fear of causing a disturbance, he would have wanted to go home last night.
Now that everything has settled, he can't wait to see her and their child.
Not even that dragon chair, not even the whole world, could hold him back like an arrow.
——Digression——
There are hints of the ending, is there any? After waiting for so long, I finally give you an ending that can be explained.
