long live the queen

Chapter 99

Yan Rusong was able to organize people to come so quickly because he replied to Cao Jun, but the little servant who brought the letter came back and told him that something happened in the palace.

Yan Rusong received a letter from Cao Jun, asking him to recommend a general who is good at naval warfare and can fight Japanese pirates.Yan Rusong thought about it for a day, listed three or four candidates, explained the situation one by one, and wrote a detailed reply letter.The person who delivered the letter before was Huang Bajin, Cao Jun's apprentice. After delivering the letter the day before, he came to get the letter back in person the next day. But before he got the letter and entered the palace gate, he saw him with Zheng Xiang from a distance. The well-connected Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi controlled the guards of the palace gate.

It's not without reason that Huang Bajin was valued by Cao Jun. Seeing this, he realized that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to enter the palace. After panicking for a while, he immediately thought of looking for Yan Rusong.

The matter was so important that Yan Rusong didn't dare to delay. After thinking about it, he took the guards in the mansion to watch at a distance, and went to the gate of the palace to find out.After all, this is a major matter related to the emperor's safety, but there is no evidence to prove the incident in the palace. If he is not careful, he will be charged with treason.

Fortunately, when the gatekeeper saw him, he lost his footing and immediately prepared to take him down. He survived the initial siege, and when his personal guards arrived, they immediately escorted him to escape for the time being.

Under such circumstances, Yan Rusong understood that something must have happened in the palace, so he immediately went to the Beijing camp to transfer people. The current commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp is Yan Rusong's former deputy general Xie Ting, and there is no need for Yan Rusong to show the imperial order. Hearing that something happened in the palace To lead troops into the palace to rescue the emperor, he immediately asked Yan Rusong to take 1000 people there first, and he left enough people behind before rushing away.

Yan Rusong led the people all the way into the palace, spent some time at the palace gate, then charged all the way, and finally came to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

Seeing Yan Rusong's figure, Zheng Xiang suddenly grabbed Wei Yunqing, snatched Jin Yiwei's waist knife and placed it under Wei Yunqing's neck, glared at Yan Rusong angrily and said, "Stay back, or I will kill her!"

Yan Rusong led the people to stop not far away, his eyes staring at this side like ink.

Wei Yunqing gritted his teeth and looked at him, but said nothing.She wasn't that great, she didn't believe in Yan Rusong when she said to leave her alone and let him arrest Zheng Xiang, he really came and saved Daliang from fire and water again, and she didn't want to die either.

"Zheng Xiang, now that you've been defeated, you can't escape, why don't you just surrender and get a lighter sentence." Wei Yunqing said.

Zheng Xiang yelled angrily: "Shut up! Since I, Zheng Xiang, can rebel, I don't want to spare my life. Even if I lose, I will take a back! Apart from you, the emperor is still in the house, right?"

He thought that as long as he pulled the emperor out as a hostage, he had not completely failed!
"He ran away a long time ago!" Wei Yunqing was not willing to tell the truth at this time, "He was hiding in the house before, but why do you think I exposed myself suddenly? It is to attract your attention so that the emperor can escape! You Don't even think about taking him hostage!"

Zheng Xiang's expression changed, he was dubious about Wei Yunqing's words.

Yan Rusong on the opposite side said loudly: "Zheng Xiang, now you have nowhere to go, let her go, I... the emperor may spare your life."

Wei Yunqing looked over, then quickly looked away, unable to tell what it was like.How can it be so easy to forget when you like someone?He came to save her in the most critical moment time and time again, even though he had to bear her emotionally, but she couldn't hate him.

Yan Rusong is just a courtier, what can he do?It's all Yang Yi's fault.

Wei Yunqing gritted her teeth. Now she still protects Yang Yi like this. It's really...a perfect example of repaying grievances with kindness. How can she be so kind?Why is she so kind?She should let Zheng Xiang kill Yang Yi now!Without Yang Yi...she will no longer be forced to stay in the palace, the next emperor can only be selected from the clan, and the person chosen has nothing to do with her, she will be free...

"You let her go!"

Just as Wei Yunqing was thinking, Yang Yi's awe-inspiring voice suddenly came from the side.

She was startled, and saw the dust covered Yang Yi's body and head due to hiding, drifting down as he moved forward. He looked embarrassed, his face was handsome and excited, and his eyes were firm.

"Zheng Xiang, you let her go, I'll replace her!" Yang Yi repeated.

Wei Yunqing was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "Don't come out, what are you doing? Are you stupid?" Even she didn't realize it, her voice was trembling.

Yang Yidao: "Sister Yunqing, it's all my fault, I misjudged the person, I can't let you have trouble."

Because it was his fault, he didn't want Wei Yunqing to bear the price for his mistake.

Wei Yunqing closed his eyes, but he didn't know what to say.

Zheng Xiang sneered: "What a passionate emperor! Your majesty, since you are willing to replace her, come here!"

Yang Yi snorted, "Let go of Sister Yunqing first!"

"Your Majesty, come here first!" Zheng Xiang was unwilling to give way this time, and at the same time, his other accomplices were panicked, only Xu Gui'er remained calm.His heart moved slightly, and he winked at him.

Xu Guier nodded slightly, stepped forward suddenly, and pressed Yang Yi's arm with both hands.

However, at that moment, an arrow flew straight, piercing Xu Gui'er's chest, and the huge force nailed his body upside down to the ground.

All this happened too fast, when Zheng Xiang tightened his hand and wanted to go all out to kill Wei Yunqing, the second arrow had already arrived, this time it was shot from Zheng Xiang's neck on the left side, and shot out from the right side, the blood gushed out instantly, staining the body. Wet half of Wei Yunqing's clothes.

"Sister Yunqing!" Yang Yi ran over in panic, grabbed Wei Yunqing's hand tightly, and looked her up and down, for fear that she might get hurt.

Wei Yunqing stared in Yan Rusong's direction blankly, with an expression that seemed to have not recovered.

Just as Yan Rusong retracted his bow, the murderous aura on his body also retracted, his handsome face relaxed slightly, and when he met Wei Yunqing's eyes, his eyes paused, and he didn't turn away immediately.

Yang Yi watched for a while to make sure that Wei Yunqing was fine, and when he looked up and saw her gaze fixed on Yan Rusong, he felt uncomfortable for a while.This time, however, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even do anything unnecessary.

Yan Rusong walked over quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Yi, and said, "I offended you just now, please forgive me!"

Just now when Yan Rusong shot Xu Guier, Xu Guier was beside Yang Yi, if he was not careful, Yang Yi would be injured or even lost his life.

"General Yan saved me and the imperial concubine, what's the crime?" Yang Yi personally helped Yan Rusong up, turned his complicated gaze on Yan Rusong's face, and finally moved away.

"General Yan, thanks to you this time... Thank you, General, for arriving in time." Wei Yunqing looked at Yan Rusong, with a faint smile on his lips.

Yan Rusong lowered his head and said respectfully: "This is what I should do. It is my greatest comfort that the emperor and imperial concubine have nothing to do."

Polite words, everyone is saying polite words.

Wei Yunqing felt a little sad, so he went back to Yanxi Palace under the escort of several soldiers by asking for a change of clothes.

Huang Bajin followed Yan Rusong into the palace, didn't see Cao Jun, and couldn't ask Yang Yi and Wei Yunqing, so he quietly entered the Qianqing Palace, looked around and whispered, "Master, master, are you there?"

After a while, Cao Jun got out of the closet, with a dazed face: "Ba Jin? Why are you here?" Before he finished speaking, he came back to his senses and said excitedly, "But Zheng Xiang has been arrested? Your Majesty What about the imperial concubine?"

"Master, don't worry, Zheng Xiang has been executed!" Huang Bajin said excitedly, "The emperor is doing well outside, and the imperial concubine has gone back to Yanxi Palace. Today I went to General Yan's mansion to pick up the letter and see the situation when I come back. No, that’s why I went to ask General Yan for help, and he went to the Beijing camp to transfer troops, and that’s how Zheng Xiang’s plot of rebellion was thwarted.”

"Well done, well done!" Cao Jun smiled and patted Huang Bajin on the shoulder, "It's not a loss to be my apprentice, and it's not in vain that I value you so much on weekdays. Wait, I will personally report to the emperor Please reward, I can't treat you badly as a hero!"

"Thank you, master. It's all taught by the master on weekdays. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so good." Huang Bajin flattered Cao Jun in turn.

Cao Jun laughed out loud, feeling extremely comfortable.

This time the palace coup was quickly suppressed, but the follow-up involved a lot.Zheng Xiang's plan at that time was to control the imperial palace first, and then send people to control all the important officials in the court. Unexpectedly, Huang Bajin reacted quickly and notified Yan Rusong before Zheng Xiang attacked the courtiers, which led to Zheng Xiang's disastrous defeat .In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, Huang Bajin and Yan Rusong are both great contributors, and Xie Ting, who decisively escaped the soldiers of the Beijing camp, also contributed a lot.

And there are quite a few people involved with Zheng Xiang in this palace coup. Many people in the Jinyiwei were involved. Rebellion is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan. This arrest resulted in the arrest of thousands of people.Wei Yunqing didn't want to commit more crimes, so he asked Cao Jun to persuade Yang Yi, let's just kill those masterminds.

Yang Yi also listened to it, and he was much more lenient in sentencing. Among the courtiers, some objected and others agreed, but in the end, many people agreed, so Yang Yi's will was carried out.

By the time everything has settled, it has been half a month.Because of Yan Rusong's achievements this time, Yan Rusong's father, Yan Zhidong, asked the emperor for a marriage.Three days later, the emperor issued a decree for the marriage, and the Jin and Yan families, who had made almost all preparations earlier, completed the ceremony of their marriage on an auspicious day.The emperor sent a lot of congratulatory gifts to the marriage of the great heroes, and the ostentation was even bigger than the marriage of the princess, which made the women in Beijing envy the daughter of the Shangshu family.

In the half month after the failure of the Zheng Xiang incident, Wei Yunqing basically stayed in the Yanxi Palace and did not go out. He said that he was frightened at the time. In fact, Wei Yunqing was indeed ill and had a low fever. The imperial doctor came to see her and gave her a prescription After taking some medicine, she took the medicine on time every day, and Cao Jun relayed the affairs of the court, and she gave some solutions.

Cao Jun also forwarded Yan Rusong's reply letter to Wei Yunqing. She selected a young general from among them according to his recommendation, and invited Liu Huiniang to the palace to discuss some specific matters. It was agreed to set off in a month, during which time Liu Huiniang would be Talk to the young general about it.However, there is still a need for someone who understands astronomy to go to sea. Wei Yunqing explained this matter to Wu Shangwen a little bit, and he very actively expressed that he would go, so this matter was resolved so easily.

During this period, Yang Yi came to Wei Yunqing several times, wanting to see her, but she refused because she was unwell.He didn't force it either, and walked away in despair.

On the day Yan Rusong got married, Wei Yunqing's health also improved a lot. She had a letter written by Yan Rusong in her hand, and on the table were calligraphy and paintings entrusted to Cao Jun from the small courtyard. And she has long been different.

Even though he had lost all hope, Wei Yunqing still felt uncontrollable sadness when Yan Rusong really got married and would belong to another woman from now on.

That handsome, strong, tough and considerate man was two straight lines with her. After meeting briefly, they went in two directions that never met again.From today onwards, she really can no longer hold any faint hope.
