incomprehensible

The entire main hall of the East Palace was full of murderous intent, Concubine Liu looked at the rows of cold swords, lights and swords, she was so horrified that she didn't dare to breathe, but she felt even more desolate and resentful in her heart.

——It is also born of the same mother, and it is also his own flesh and blood. Liu Ting will be furious for Liu Xian, who has long been unable to turn himself around. After many years, he will be bitter about her, but he only regards her as a tool to realize his ambitions. Once he finds that she is unable to play a role , will ruthlessly squeeze out the last bit of her value.

She didn't know Lan Qi's identity, but she felt extremely happy to make Liu Ting lose his composure and stop Liu Ting's plots and ambitions, even if this person committed all sorts of unforgivable crimes.

She was deliriously thinking about her life so far in a high fever. She and Chu Xiangqi married into the palace together. Chu Xiangqi was the queen, but she could only be a concubine.Back then, Chu Xiangqi covered the sky with one hand, and the entire Chu family was at his disposal, but she could only be used by Liu Ting as a springboard to realize her ambitions, dictating in the harem in a daze, thinking that she was very dignified.

After Chu Xiangqi's death, the empress was replaced by Nangong Yayu, who looked weak and gentle. This smiling tiger was equally ruthless, and also suppressed the entire harem. She protected her half-dead son and lived a more elegant life than anyone else; And she was the first to give birth to the prince, but her own prince was the least favored. He could barely sit in the crumbling East Palace, but he was trembling every day and couldn't find peace.

Chu Xiangqi passed away in Shaohua, but left Ye Xuehuan with countless backhands, who defeated Liu Ting steadily, and even heard the word "Chu Xiangqi" and became angry and afraid; but she couldn't help Ye Xuehuan. Yuan shared a little bit of worry, unable to provide him with a little bit of resources, and finally became his burden.

She was annoyed, unwilling, and unwilling to admit that she was inferior to Chu Xiangqi and Nangong Yayu; but if she was smarter, saw farther, and planned ahead, maybe Ye Xueyuan wouldn't be controlled by others, maybe he wouldn't. Can be very good, can be alone like Ye Xuehuan, not afraid of any wind and rain disasters.

In a daze, I heard Lan Qi's sonorous declaration that he would never become Ye Xuehuan's weakness.

She suddenly figured it out.

——If it can't be a helping arm, at least it can't be a burdensome weakness.

"Quan You..."

In the midst of fighting, this mournful and resentful call seemed especially cold and treacherous.

Seeing Liu Ting's attention being drawn away by Lan Qi, Ye Xueyuan was trying to get out of trouble. At this time, Ye Xueyuan had already retreated to the door, about to signal to Yang Lianyu outside the door; Looking over carefully, I saw that her eyes were full of love and reluctance, but also with incomparably clear firmness and determination.

He had never seen his concubine mother show such an expression, and he was flustered for a while.

"Quan You, Concubine Mother, I'm sorry..." Concubine Liu's voice was soft, gentle and loving like never before, "Concubine Mother can't help you, at least, at least I won't be your weakness..."

"Mother, no—"

Ye Xueyuan took a few steps forward, but couldn't stop her in time. She watched Concubine Liu grab the nearest blade and slammed her fragile neck viciously.

Blood splattered.

No one expected that this delicate woman with a high fever could have such a violent force. The surrounding rebels could not react in time. Hot blood splashed on everyone's face and body, and the rebels backed away in a hurry. Driving away, Concubine Liu fell limply in a pool of blood.

Ye Xueyuan's mind went blank, his gaze was filled with glaring scarlet, and he staggered towards Concubine Liu, hugging Concubine Liu, with a trembling voice, "Concubine Mother, why are you..."

He was in so much pain that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, but deep down in his heart he felt a faint sense of relief and relief, and in an instant he was overwhelmed by overwhelming guilt and regret.He tightly clutched the incision on Concubine Liu's neck, and the thick scarlet liquid flowed out from between his fingers, staining half of his body wet and sticky, and his nasal cavity was quickly stuffed with tears that he barely swallowed back. Live, never smell those strong rust smells again.

Concubine Liu was panting with difficulty, and raised her hand with difficulty, trying to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but instead wiped his face with blood.

——Just like her ridiculous life, she tried her best to make him shine and ascend to the throne, but in the end she could only become a stain on him.

"Quan You, my Yuan'er..."

She murmured Ye Xueyuan's name, this title that shouldn't be mentioned by anyone sounded a little strange, but it seemed extremely intimate, with some warmth and tenderness that she had never experienced before.

Ye Xueyuan bit her lip tightly, not letting herself cry out, biting that thin lower lip was bloody.

He felt at a loss. He didn't think he had any deep feelings for the concubine mother. This woman was ignorant and resourceful. Liu Ting would often get a lot of news from Liu Ting without knowing it. She was also very picky about the concubine. She always urged He gave birth to an heir early, he should have annoyed her very much.

But now she was lying in his arms dying of serious injuries, crippled like a withered leaf, cut off all vitality, seeing that she was about to die, and he couldn't help but feel sad and painful.

How could he not understand what Ye Xuehuan said "the overall situation is the most important thing"? As early as when Liu Ting held Concubine Liu hostage, he should have resolutely given up this woman's life, but how could he refuse to save his biological mother? Have the courage to bear the infamy of unfilial piety?

He couldn't even imagine how this simple-minded woman who would never learn any tricks until she died had the courage to choose to end her life for him.

——At the end of the day, they are all mere mortals, unable to end their passions, always subconsciously avoiding responsibility, and unconsciously throwing the heaviest and most difficult problems to others to face.

Concubine Liu fulfilled him with her life, and did not want him to be controlled by Liu Ting; but what he has to bear from now on is endless self-blame and guilt, the sleeplessness and despair after countless midnight dreams.

He will always remember, and the whole world will always remember, that his mother and concubine died for him, because he had no choice but to commit suicide because of his incompetence.

Concubine Liu's gaze lingered on Ye Xueyuan's face reluctantly for a moment, then turned over his shoulder, looked at Ye Xuehuan who was not far away, and stretched out a bloody pistol to him with the last of her strength. hand, spat out broken pleas intermittently: "Rongcai... you, help..."

Her eyes were dim, and a lot of blood gushed out of her mouth. The outstretched palm fell down feebly and rested on Ye Xueyuan's shoulder.

Ye Xuehuan sighed softly, and silently turned her head away.

He had already expected that Concubine Liu would probably not be able to keep her, and he was even prepared to kill her himself, but he did not expect such a result.Even if he was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, even if he had no feelings for Concubine Liu, this scene was too shocking and no one could remain calm.

He felt Lan Qi squeeze his palm tightly, and knew that he couldn't bear it, and wanted to hug him to comfort him, but he didn't dare to neglect him in the face of the enemy.There has been no news from the Jinwu Guard for a long time. Liu Ting probably knew that the conspiracy would be impossible. This forced palace will eventually end in failure. Now he is close to madness, and he only wants to kill Lan Qi to avenge Liu Xian; But he really didn't want to fight the crazy Liu Ting.

Liu Ting's eyes also stayed on Concubine Liu, a little pain flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be in a daze.

Ye Xuehuan made a decisive decision, drew his longbow fully, and shot an arrow.

The bow string of the prison bow is extremely tight and tough, so the arrow is also extremely fierce. Ye Xuehuan's arrow shot again suddenly, aiming at Liu Ting's eyebrows. The speed is as fast as thunder, and it is reasonable that almost no one can dodge; The rebels immediately wanted to fly in front of him, but none of them could catch up.Even Ye Xuehuan felt that the overall situation was settled, but a white and tender hand stretched out and pushed Liu Ting hard.

The arrowhead barely brushed against his scalp, knocking off the hair crown, and the mottled and gray dry hair fell down, and was pushed down into the soft chair with a palm, making him look even more embarrassed and crazy.

——At the critical moment, it was Yu Tian who saved Liu Ting's life.

Ye Xuehuan had no idea that she had such a quick reaction, she was stunned for a moment, then she was startled and angry, and shouted: "What are you doing!"

"I can't let you kill him." Yu Tian replied calmly, "At least not yet."

Ye Xueyuan hadn't recovered from the pain of losing her mother, when she suddenly heard Yu Tian speak, her voice and tone were completely different from usual, and she finally regained her composure, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "...Hua Son?"

Yu Tian's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer.

Liu Ting seemed to have bumped his waist, and his legs were a little numb. He moved his upper body with difficulty, but failed to get up. He lay down in the chair and laughed wildly: "Quan You, you are so ridiculous as a prince. The same bed You have been sleeping together for more than five years, and you don't know who is next to your pillow!"

Ye Xuehuan frowned, Liu Ting seemed to be at the end of his rope, thinking that he could delay one by one, and even wanted to reveal Yu Tian's identity.Concubine Liu's body is still cold, if she finds out that the person next to her pillow is a counterfeit, she really doesn't know if Ye Xueyuan can bear the excitement.

But Ye Xueyuan didn't seem to fully comprehend the meaning of his words, her expression was blank and numb, she looked at Liu Ting, then at Yu Tian, ​​her thin lips pursed into a straight line.

Yu Tian also looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his tone was soft and soft: "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely help you, but there are some bills that have not been settled, and they will be fine soon, just wait a moment. "

The tenderness on her face hadn't faded yet, she suddenly reached out her hand, and she picked up Liu Ting's skirt with one hand, and lifted him up.

"Old man, my patience is good enough." Yu Tian's tone was a little heavy, but still slow, and it sounded a little flattering that she hadn't shown before, "I've already given you everything you want." I've done it for you, and if I don't keep my promise, it's a bit unreasonable, right?"

Liu Ting pointed at Lan Qi, and grinned loudly: "You kill Chu Xiangqi's dog for me, and I will hand Yu Feihua over to you right away!"

——Yu Feihua is the boudoir name of the real granddaughter of the former Northeast commander Yu Heng and the real princess.

The moment Ye Xuehuan heard this name, Ye Xuehuan's expression couldn't help but change.

According to what Yu Wushuang said at the beginning, Yu Feihua was killed five years ago when she was stolen and replaced; but now it seems that she is not dead, but detained by Liu Ting in order to manipulate Yutian.

This is a dangerous move in a dangerous game. The more Yu Feihua lives, the more dangerous he will be exposed. Once he does not hide it, he will be convicted of treason. When forced to do so, keep a double-edged sword that burns everything.

Anyway, Liu Ting was already broken, but Yu Tian obviously didn't want to go to hell with him.If she wanted to sit back and relax in the seat of the princess, Yu Feihua would not be able to live.

Yu Tian glanced at Lan Qi, and met Ye Xue's phoenix eyes that were as sharp as a blade.

Then she lifted her leg and kicked Liu Ting's calf without hesitation, and said disdainfully, "Do you think I'm stupid? The little baby of the Third Highness's family, whoever moves will die, you want to use his hand to deal with me? "

Ye Xuehuan snorted, expressing his satisfaction with Yu Tian's statement.

Liu Ting looked back and forth between the two of them, and said solemnly, "It turns out that there has been an affair between you for a long time."

"You can't talk nonsense about this." Yu Tian smiled sweetly, "There is nothing wrong between me and the third highness, if you, an old thief, slander me so much, if my husband misunderstands me, how can it be good?"

Ye Xueyuan woke up instead at this moment, picked up Concubine Liu's body lightly, carefully put her back on the soft couch, placed her in a state of clasping her hands and falling asleep peacefully, and then turned around .

He was born with the tails of his eyes raised, but now he lowered his eyebrows and looked even more cold. He stared at Yu Tian firmly, and asked word by word: "Who are you?"

Yu Tian said softly, "I am your wife."

"Shameless." Liu Ting sneered, "You know what you are."

Yu Tian turned to look at him again, and changed another face in an instant, all kinds of charming and charming, like those colorful, enchanting and gorgeous snakes, scorpions and spiders in the jungle, beautiful and extremely poisonous, charming and charming. Danger.

Her five slender fingers pinched Liu Ting's neck, her fingertips, lips, and two spots of eyebrow sand on her forehead were all bright red, and her voice was hoarse and mellow: "What am I, of course I am. It’s clear, but you old thief doesn’t seem to be very clear, so I need to make you clear again.”

Liu Ting was so strangled that he couldn't breathe, his old face was flushed purple, his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a dry "drinking" sound from his throat. .

All the rebels and Xuanfeng guards were stunned. This delicate-looking princess had such amazing strength; Liu Ting was not skinny even though he was old. In his hand, it was like a chicken cub that was allowed to be eaten by a mermaid, without the power to resist.

Yu Tian whispered something in Liu Ting's ear, and Liu Ting froze suddenly.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you, anyway, I'm not the one who can't afford to gamble or lose." Yu Tian smiled coquettishly, "Have you thought about it?"

Liu Ting glared at her angrily, and pointed to a corner in the hall.Yu Tian let go, let him fall to the ground, and looked at Ye Xueyuan again, with a voice so gentle that he could squeeze out water: "Husband, just wait for me."

She seems to be switching between the two personalities freely. Ye Xuehuan and Lan Qi are not surprised, but everyone else is already dumbfounded.Ye Xueyuan stared at her back, his pale glass-colored eyes were cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

What Liu Ting was referring to was a big colorful porcelain vase with a big belly and wide mouth in the corner, it was as tall as a person, and the mouth of the bottle was almost at the same level as Yu Tian's forehead.She held the mouth of the bottle with one hand, tapped the bottom of the bottle with her toes, and with a casual force, she knocked down the vase weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

Ye Xuehuan couldn't help lowering his head and asked Lan Qi: "Do all these Yingmei have such supernatural power?"

"She is Jin Yu, she must have Gu on her body, and she has a strong ability to protect herself." Lan Qi replied in a low voice, "Including her face, it should also be disguised by the Gu, so there is no flaw."

The two got very close, and Ye Xuehuan noticed that he was short of breath, a thin layer of cold sweat was seeping on his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly, he was startled, and hurriedly pulled him over, touched his forehead, and sure enough It was piping hot.

First, the cold wind blew all the way back to the city, and then he was frozen in the snow for a long time when he was spying, and he caught the cold twice, no wonder he would have a fever, and I don't know how long Lan Qi has been holding on.

Ye Xuehuan had no intention of dealing with it. Concubine Liu was dead, and Liu Ting had no hostages in his hands. He could take them down at any time, and he didn't want to delay any longer.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he didn't think about it, and was about to gesture to Tong Xuan, when he saw Yu Tian dragging a person out from the mouth of the upside-down vase.

This kind of vase is a very common decoration in the palace, so no one paid attention to it before, and did not expect Liu Ting to be able to hide a person in it.

Although the vase has a big belly, Tibetans are actually somewhat reluctant; it’s just that the person in this vase is skinny, his hands and feet are bound, and his mouth is stuffed with a cloth ball, so he can’t make a sound, so he is just curled up and stuffed inside.

It was a young woman with a bleak complexion and slack eyesight. She never struggled for help when she was hidden in the vase, and she didn't make any resistance when she was dragged out. She was as dull as if she had lost all ability to respond to the outside world.

Although she is already skinny and her cheeks are sunken, but judging from her appearance, she is clearly the appearance of the Crown Princess; except for two spots of eyebrow sand missing on her forehead, she is exactly the same as Yu Tian.

——This innocent woman who was supposed to be the real princess was imprisoned by Liu Ting for five years.Judging by her appearance, she seems to have lost her mind.

"...You are not Yu Feihua." Ye Xueyuan looked at the real Yu Feihua on the ground, and pierced Yu Tian with cold eyes, "Who are you?"

Yu Tian also became tougher, complaining and wronged, and even replied with a little anger: "I am your wife."

Lan Qi felt a headache when he saw it, and his body was chilling intermittently. He couldn't support himself, and leaned half on Ye Xuehuan's body.

It's not good for Yu Tian that Yu Feihua is alive, but she should not be afraid at all.She pretended to be a princess for five years without anyone noticing, and returned to Ning and returned to her hometown several times on the way, and even her natal family couldn't tell the difference, which shows that she knew Yu Feihua herself very well, and she was able to confuse the fake with the real one long ago.Even if Liu Ting pulls the real Yu Feihua in front of her, she can definitely bite Liu Ting back and slander her; with her majestic golden feather charm, I'm afraid more people will still believe her.

However, she showed her true face in a half-pushing, half-doing and smooth manner, and it was still in front of Ye Xueyuan.

If Lan Qi still had the same golden eyes back then, he would definitely think that Yu Tian's actions were foolish; but today, he seems to be able to understand her thoughts.

——No one wants to let the person they like see their ugly side, but at certain moments, they will stubbornly want to test and confirm the tolerance of the other party.

For five years, I have been facing the same person day and night, but what that person sees is another person in his eyes, and calls out another person's name, anyone will be dissatisfied and impatient, wanting him to see the real self I'm afraid he won't accept it.

Lan Qi can understand this contradictory mentality; but at the same time, he is also very clear that not everyone can tolerate all his despicable, selfish, dark and ugly sides like Ye Xuehuan.

——This Jin Yu, who was supposed to be the most heartless, was actually moved.

However, the next moment, he felt that he had underestimated Yu Tian in every aspect.

Yu Tian took out a three-inch small knife from the back of his waist, and stabbed it into Yu Feihua's heart.

A moment of panic finally appeared on Yu Feihua's sluggish face, he twitched a few times, and soon became completely silent, his eyes were closed, and his head was tilted to one side.

For this innocent woman, it was a relief.

But Yutian's treatment of her is not over yet.She took out a second knife, and slashed Yu Feihua's face one by one, until the whole face was bloody and bloody, beyond recognition, and no one could recognize it anymore.

She didn't pull out the knife stuck in Yu Feihua's heart, and she moved very gently when she cut the knife on her face, only some blood was splashed on the cuff.She took off her blood-stained robe to cover Yu Feihua's body. The apricot yellow color was said to be Yu Feihua's favorite color since childhood, but Yu Tian didn't like it.

From now on, she doesn't have to like it anymore.

"It doesn't matter if I am Yu Feihua or not?"

Yu Tian stood up and looked at Ye Xueyuan with a smile, "I was the one who married you with three matches and six hires and ten miles of red makeup. I am the one who supports you."

She pointed to Yu Feihua on the ground, "This is just an insignificant woman, I'm your wife, isn't it?"

Ye Xueyuan was noncommittal, but still looked at her coldly, as if trying to figure out her real intentions.

Ye Xuehuan completely lost his patience and didn't bother to watch the marital entanglement any longer. He put his arm around Lan Qi's shoulder and gestured to Tong Xuan behind him with the other hand.

Tong Xuan didn't know if he was overwhelmed by the strange situation one after another, Ye Xuehuan made the gesture for the third time before he finally saw it, felt extremely ashamed, hurriedly raised his arms and shouted, and took the lead in beheading a few Dong Chenwei's rebel bodyguard.The other mysterious bees just woke up like a dream, and they drew their swords to kill the enemy, all of them bravely, for fear that the master would blame them afterwards.

The rebels were powerless to resist, Xuanfeng quickly controlled the scene, beheaded every single one without leaving any ground, and rescued several old imperial doctors who were trapped, and sent them outside the hall.Ye Xuehuan's behavior style is well known throughout the Central Committee. Several old doctors were forced to read and listen to a lot of things that they shouldn't see and hear. After going out, they either pretended to be dizzy or stupid, and kept their mouths shut tight.

During the process of clearing the field, Ye Xueyuan and Yu Tian didn't move, they looked at each other amidst the sound of killing.Liu Ting also didn't seem to be able to see the mess everywhere, he laughed wildly and said, "I saw it, Quan You! This is the person next to your pillow!"

Only then did Ye Xueyuan turn his head away, looking at him expressionlessly.

Knowing that he was defeated, Liu Ting still did not give up. He pointed at Lan Qi and shouted, "You killed this bitch of the Qi family, and I will tell you everything about this woman!"

Yu Tian sneered, and just about to speak, Ye Xueyuan actually walked over there.

Liu Ting couldn't stop laughing, Ye Xuehuan and Yu Tian's faces changed.

Once the Liu family fell, only Ye Xuehuan was left for Ye Xueyuan to rely on. Yu Tian knew this truth well, so he must not let him form a deadly relationship with Ye Xuehuan at this juncture, and he will go forward immediately stop.

Ye Xuehuan took two steps back with Lan Qi in his arms, and shouted in a deep voice, "Brother Huang!"

He didn't think that Ye Xueyuan had any malice towards Lan Qi, but he was too stimulated today, and it seemed that his mental state was very unstable at this time, and it was hard to predict how he would behave.

Ye Xueyuan ignored him at all, walked straight up to him, pulled out Cang Xing who had been stuck upside down on the ground, turned her head towards Liu Ting, and approached him step by step.

Ye Xuehuan and Yu Tian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, while Liu Ting's face twisted.

"...Do you have a last word?"

Cang Xing's gun pointed at Liu Ting's eyes, the gun's light was as sharp and cold as Ye Xueyuan's eyes at this time.

Liu Ting grinned the corners of his mouth and smiled arrogantly, but in the depths of his eyes there was a touch of almost imperceptible helplessness, and even a hint of relief that he didn't even know about.

Lan Qi said that his ambition harmed Liu Xian, and he felt it was unfair.

——The Liu family has never been his own Liu family, and this so-called ambition has never been his own ambition.

When the Liu family was still the courtiers of the Feng family, the Ye Xue family was just an inconspicuous little feudal lord of the Northland; although the uprising was powerful at the beginning, but the information was insufficient and the follow-up was weak, it was the Liu family who made up for it. lacking.As a courtier, providing intelligence and resources for the rebellious army, every move is in danger of killing the family. The Liu family also paid a very painful price for this, doing many dirty things that cannot be seen, and in several key battles He provided help enough to affect the outcome, and finally sent Ye Xueshi to the top.

However, when the world was established and the merits were appreciated, the Liu family was no different from ordinary surrenders, and did not get the rewards they deserved at all.

All the people in the world are just mortals, even if they aspire to become the supreme in the world, they are no exception.The ancestors of the Yexue clan achieved great glory, so they only wanted the world to see their brave and heroic side. Those secret deeds will never be known, especially when they once colluded with the courtiers of the Feng clan and stabbed the Feng clan with a knife in the back. This kind of behavior sounds very vulgar and dishonorable.

——Ye Xueshi swore to protect this river and mountain from generation to generation, and the first thing he had to protect was his glorious and flawless reputation.

The Liu family knew very well that Ye Xueshi wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so when Xiayang rebelled and became self-reliant, he immediately followed southward, went around in circles, and returned to the court hall in Chongyang, but he already held the entire southern border in his hands, with great power, and In the end, he became the thorn in Yexue's side, and even made the most trusted Bai's king forever and stationed at Luoxia Pass.

This kind of contradiction is irreconcilable. In this generation, Ye Xuehuan and the others all deeply believe that the Liu family is ambitious and trying to seek power and usurp the throne. They don't know where the entanglements come from; There can only be one of the two, and if the Liu family can't replace it, they can only die at their hands.

The so-called ambition is nothing more than the desire to survive.

Liu Ting glanced at Concubine Liu, who had been dead for a long time, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Why doesn't he feel sorry for his own flesh and blood, but compared to the entire Liu family, she is too small and humble, and what she can do is too insignificant.She is just an ordinary woman. When she married into the royal family, she only had her husband in her eyes; when she gave birth to a prince, she only had a son in her eyes. She thought her mother's family was still bright and beautiful, and she had no time to care about the situation of the Liu family.

That little tiger talisman destroyed not only Liu Xian alone, but also Liu Ting spent half his life working hard to pave a secret way for the Liu family.

All the plans of his life were actually ruined in the hands of women—a Chu Xiangqi, a Yu Wushuang, and a Yutian.

He is also just a mortal, and he bears the burden of the Liu family that has been passed down from generation to generation for more than a hundred years, so he cannot let the Liu family end in his hands, and he cannot bear the responsibility.

He had to fight one last time, so that under the Underworld, he could still face his ancestors with confidence—he Liu Ting was defeated, but the Liu family was not dead yet.

Cang Xing's spear tip pierced his chest with endless killing intent, but the heart-piercing pain only lasted for a short moment.
