Chang Anqing

Chapter 2
When he came to the tower of Xuanwu Gate, Li Sui had changed to the phoenix crown that was woven by hundreds of clever girls in the palace for several months on the day when he was promoted to the Empress Dowager at the New Dynasty Ceremony. It was gorgeous, but it was overwhelming.

Looking under the tower, the light of the armor almost illuminated the entire tower, and the clusters of torches almost dyed the night sky red.

The only thing I heard was "Boom--", the city gate suddenly opened, and the next moment, people like ants rushed in towards the palace gate, followed by exclamations, and the sound of killing was advancing like a tide, and the little boy who was still in swaddling behind him. Emperor Ayu was awakened by the sound, and immediately burst into tears, buzzing around Li Sui's ears.

Compared with the panic of everyone, Li Sui, who was standing on the tower, looked flat, as if he was just here to enjoy the scenery tonight.

Feeling the nurse patted her grandson in panic behind him, Li Sui turned and stretched out her hand, and the wet nurse hurriedly put the baby in Li Sui's arms into Li Sui's arms.

Li Sui didn't care about the harsh cry of his grandson in his arms, he just gently patted Ayu's small body and opened his lips calmly in the distance, as if telling a distant story.

"Ayu, look, this is your country, your Aye, Aweng's country."

Compared with the thunderous cries in the palace, the Danfengmen Street in the distance is calm and peaceful. The lights of the people's homes will not be dimmed because of the killing tonight. Tomorrow, they will still open the door to live their lives, while they These people standing on the top of the beam do not know where they will be.

"In my life, as a daughter and a queen, I have no guilt, but as a wife and mother alone, it was a mistake, and it was a complete failure."

As he spoke, Li Sui looked at the little man in his arms with a faint smile on his lips. With his fingertips, he pushed a rice-sized pill into the child's mouth. It was a different mood to look outside the city.

Yuan Ting's eyes on the side were carrying a bit of grief and indignation at the moment, looking at Li Sui in front of him, he was about to speak—

"The Empress Dowager has so much power over the government and the opposition, why did she make such a sigh."

With the crisp sound of the armor, the man's strong and powerful voice penetrated the night sky and entered Li Sui's ears.

Turning his head, Yang Che, the high-spirited King of Luoyang in military uniform, was standing not far away, enjoying the trembling kneeling of thousands of palace people. Behind him, Li Sui saw those who had already turned against her and dared not be with her. The old officials of the aristocratic family who looked at each other included her own uncles and nephews.

At a glance, everyone bowed their heads, only she and Yang Che stood on the tower.

It seems like a game.

In the past, she and him were close friends and bosom friends;

But in the end, they walked towards strangers, revealing each other's murderous intentions, and never dying.

Although Yang Che is about the same age as her, he is not confused, but he still has the same handsome and timeless features as before, except that he has added a few years of experience and composure.

"King of Luoyang, stay safe."

With that said, Li Sui returned Ayu in his arms to the wet nurse. Yuan Ting, who was beside him, looked at Yang Che coldly. Under his signal, Long Wujun drew his sword and confronted him, guarding Li Sui vigilantly. .

Looking at this scene in the distance, Yang Che snorted and sneered, but with a light gesture, someone blocked the way and taught the nurse to retreat more nervously behind Li Sui.

Li Sui raised his right hand lightly, and Long Wujun put away the dazzling knife for the time being and stepped back a few minutes.

"Seeing you, you taught me to remember that in my life, there is one more thing that is really a big mistake."

Yang Che heard the words and said calmly, "Oh?" He seemed to smile and wait for the next words.

"Failed to put you to death."

Hearing Li Sui's light-hearted sneer, everyone present was soaked in cold sweat, but Yang Che was not angry at all, but he looked at Han Yuanting, who was wearing the imperial robe beside Li Sui, with murderous intent in his eyes.

In Yang Che's eyes, both Li Suiben and him were born at the head of the clan, but now they are raising the poor and suppressing the clan, they must be instigated by Han Yuanting and others.

He does look young and handsome, but unfortunately, he is just a misunderstood scholar.

"Aman, as long as you are willing to write the edict of abdication for Ayu, I will respect Ayu as the Supreme Emperor, and you will be the Queen Mother of the Great Sage of my Daliang."

Seeing Yang Che's sincerity towards Xiang Xiang's infant Ayu, Li Sui sneered and walked back towards the short wall: "Yang Che, don't say you are not so kind, even if you were, I would never will do as you wish."

Yang Che frowned slightly when he heard the words, and the light in his eyes changed instantly. Someone immediately stepped forward and snatched the baby emperor from the nurse. In the nurse's exclamation, Li Sui was still as steady as Mount Tai and did not move at all.

The next moment, the man who only heard the baby in his arms looked at Yang Che in shock and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is out of breath—"

Hearing this, Yang Che's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately shot his eyes to look at the swaddle, and breathed lightly, the little man inside really didn't have the slightest breath.

"Li Sui-"

In front of everyone's light smile, Yang Che gritted his teeth in disbelief and said solemnly: "You can even start with your own blood?"

Hearing this, Li Sui raised his head and laughed as if he had heard some laughter: "The emperor's family is ruthless, and now you are qualified to say this?"

After all, amidst the exclamations of everyone, Li Sui raised his feet and stood on the short wall, the toes of his shoes were already in the air, and the night wind suddenly poured into the wide sleeves, blowing the gorgeous dresses and hunting.

Seeing this, Yang Che shuddered violently, as if he had already sensed something.

"The Queen Mother—"

"Aman!"

"Yang Che, you know, in my life, Li Sui, there are mistakes, but there is no room for defeat-"

After saying that, Li Sui's icy eyes turned to look at the bright lights under his feet, and the quiet pavilion in the distance: "I have sent the imperial jade seal and the tiger talisman, and at this moment, King Yuling is already leading his troops to Chang'an. King Qin is on his way to rescue him."

Hearing this, the old officials of the aristocratic clan who followed Yang Che were astonished, trembling, not knowing what to do.Even Yang Che's eyes flashed a flash of shock. He knew very well that from the moment the late emperor passed away and he returned to Chang'an, he had ordered his cronies to secretly monitor the nine gates of Chang'an, not to mention the jade seal and the tiger talisman. Don't even think of a carrier pigeon flying out of the city, what about her—

Looking at Li Sui again at this moment, his eyes were clearly full of indifference and jokes that had succeeded in calculating, and there was no trace of sadness. Yang Che was instantly angry, and his eyes were still cold.

Now he still remembers a month ago, in the mourning hall where the Emperor Zigong was parked, when the woman in front of him was facing the pain of losing her child, she pretended to be so heartless and lifeless.

Now it seems that Yang Che can't help laughing at himself, and finally he thinks of her too well.

How could such a vicious woman like her be defeated?

He used to be full of murderous intent.Now I would rather attract an outsider than fight him to the death.

After all the calculations, he finally fell into her trap.

In order not to hinder him, he poisoned his grandson with his own hands.

In order not to take himself as a hostage, let him bear the charge of forcing the palace and murdering the empress dowager, and give King Yuling a reason to send troops to rescue him, and now he has to take death as the game.

Yang Che suddenly let out a smile.

Ah Man is still the same Ah Man who stabbed the horse with a hairpin on the polo field in order to win his father's emperor's sword when he was a child.

At this moment, looking at Yang Che's angry but smiling appearance, Li Sui felt a sense of joy and happiness that he hadn't seen in a long time in his chest.

"Look, he's here—"

In the lights, seeing the woman's smiling side face, Yang Che looked along, and sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves resounded almost throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an, rushing towards the inner palace in a neat and uniform manner, hardly needing to think about it. Everyone knows that the "white robe general" Yuling King Zhao Yi, who holds a heavy army and guards the border, is in it.As for the frontier soldiers under his command, who were different from the arrogant soldiers in the capital, the momentum of bloody murder at the moment, and the cold and sky-shattering sound of iron cavalry, had made the people present stunned and terrified.

Almost at the same time, Yang Che suddenly remembered something, and stretched out his hand to grab the figure standing on the short wall.

But things are like that, never as expected.

Just as his fingertips crossed the gorgeous embroidered phoenix on his dress, the person in front of him jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

The sound of the wind swept past her ears. In the chaos, Li Sui heard the shrill cry from the city wall. It was her good nian slave, good jade slave—

In the blur, Li Sui seemed to see Yang Che leaning out of the city wall, his right hand struggling to grab something.

Li Sui never thought that he would show such a painful look, but he didn't know whether it was because of the frustration of losing everything, or because of her, the enemy who once killed him.

Suddenly, the sound of iron hoofs approached, and a figure in plain clothes and white robes galloped towards the direction of Li Sui's fall from the panicked soldiers and horses.

Li Sui closed her eyes peacefully, enjoying this last moment of indulgence.

Thirteen to weave, fourteen to learn how to cut clothes,
Fifteen playing the Konghou, sixteen reciting poetry and books,
Seventeen is a king's wife, and my heart is always bitter.

This life is enough and tired.

For the sake of her family and her family, she married Yang Yan who didn't love her.After all their lives, they have gained the power and wealth of Potian, but she has exhausted the organs and ended up alone in this field.

"Ayu, this is the last thing I can do for you."

Only King Yuling knew that what she fed Ayu was not poison, but the scent of the soul of the Western Regions that sealed his breath. If he was selfless, he would obey the king of diligence. After tonight, he would still regard Ayu as emperor and eradicate the rebellious ministers of the family. Selfishly, Ayu's life and death were just a matter of his thoughts.

Once, she thought she was smart all the time, but in the end, it didn't work out, she made a mistake.

She thought that Zhao Yi, the king of Yuling, would solve this Chang'an crisis before Yang Che, but she has been able to understand people's hearts in her life, but not her own ending.

When he looked up, Li Sui saw the night sky that he had never appreciated before. It turned out to be so dark blue, so beautiful, just like the brocade that no clever girl in this world could make. body fell rapidly.

Gradually, Li Sui closed her eyes and gently hummed the song she used to put her to sleep when she was a child.

If there is an afterlife, she doesn't want to follow other people's wishes anymore. She wants to find a life that truly belongs to her, not for anyone, but only for her Li Sui life.

After a long time, the soldiers and horses of King Yuling had already marched straight in. Yang Che still stretched his hand and looked at the man under the city, calm, but he refused to shed a single tear.

"Why do you always refuse to lose to me——"

Later, the history of Liang records: Zhang Huisheng, the empress, was born in the Li family of Longxi, named Sui, and named Aman.Seven feet two inches long, beautiful appearance, unique in appearance, read "Historical Books" at the age of six, and mastered "Book of Songs" and "Analects of Confucius" at the age of 12.
