The night was as long as a thick black curtain.

No matter where you go, it is shrouded in front of you, making it difficult to tell the direction, let alone where else to go.

After saying that sentence to Zhu Feng, Nanyan returned to Yikun Palace.

Zhu Feng asked her to come back.

He didn't say a word about this matter, just asked Ran Xiaoyu to escort him back.

When Nanyan left, he still glanced back at him, and saw him slowly walking back to the table and sitting down, the flickering candlelight shining in his dark eyes.

There seems to be something deeper in it, which is unpredictable.

However, at this time, she has no way to think about it.

She confessed everything about herself to him, and told him clearly that she would not change.

But there was one sentence that Nanyan didn't tell him.

She never backs down.

However, the person she loves, if he retreats, will break her bones.

This time, she completely handed herself into his hands, this heart, this person, what kind of ending will it be, perhaps, it depends on how he chooses.

All night, Ran Xiaoyu was by her side.

The two of them didn't say a word, they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeat, and even so, this night was extraordinarily noisy.

Probably because, in the places they can't see, countless people are running, and countless messages are being delivered.

Even if it is the Queen's Yonghe Palace.

Even the Chengqian Palace of the prince Chengxuan.

For the Imperial Palace, and even the people of the entire Yan Kingdom, this night was extremely difficult.

I don't know how long it took, even if it seemed that ten or twenty years had passed, everyone looked up in fatigue, and finally saw the east, and a little faint sky light appeared in the dark sky.

It's going to dawn.

Si Muyun, who had been leaning back in the chair and sleeping lightly for a while, opened his eyes and saw his uncle Gu Tingqiu standing in front of the window, looking outside.

He didn't close his eyes all night.

Been there watching.

Si Muyun walked over and whispered, "Uncle......"

Gu Tingqiu let out an "um" sound.

Turning his head, there was already a light in the sky, and Si Muyun said: "It's going to be dawn, uncle, today-"

"Today, it will be time to decide."

"Will the emperor make a choice?"

“……”

Gu Tingqiu was silent for a while, and said lightly: "It wasn't the emperor who made the choice. ”

“……”

"It's these people who have to make a choice."

"What?"

Si Muyun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked outside, at the wide square in front of Fengtian Palace.

The civil and military officials who entered the palace yesterday to congratulate, and then petitioned the emperor because of Si Nanyan's background, they have been there.

But—

He rubbed his eyes, turned his head to look at Gu Tingqiu again, and said softly, "Uncle, am I wrong?" Those officials, it seems to be less? ”

Gu Tingqiu said lightly: "You are not mistaken. ”

"That's—"

"Last night, there were some people, after persuasion, who had already withdrawn."

"Persuasion? Who persuades? ”

Gu Tingqiu was silent for a while, and said, "It's so dark, I can't see clearly, but I guess, it should be someone from the queen family." ”

"People from the Xu family? Why? ”

"Why?" Gu Tingqiu shook his head and said, "You have been actively inquiring about the news in the palace these days, haven't you noticed that the emperor said that after canonizing the concubine, in a few days, you will canonize the king of Wei?" ”

Si Muyun nodded.

Gu Tingqiu said: "If today's concubine can't be canonized, can King Wei still be canonized?" ”

“……”

"Now that the emperor has a son under his knees, he has been crowned king, and his position is more stable."

“……”

"How could the Empress allow someone to sabotage?"

Si Muyun gasped, and he was stunned: "This, is this the emperor's preparation earlier?" ”

"In my opinion, that's exactly what it is."

Gu Tingqiu took a deep breath and said, "The emperor's heart is ninefold. The emperor's mind is indeed difficult for us people to guess. ”

“……”

"So as an official in the DPRK, don't just look at the gains and losses in front of you."

“……”

"Mu Yun, you still have a long way to come."

Si Muyun took a deep breath and said, "I understand." ”

|

Little by little, the sky in the east is getting bigger.

Light has an irresistible force, dispelling darkness little by little.

Feeling a chill on his body, Nanyan opened his eyes, only to find that he was lying on the table and asleep, covered with a piece of clothing, which had just slipped down.

Ran Xiaoyu was about to come over and help cover herself, when she saw her wake up.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm."

Nanyan straightened up, only feeling that her whole body was sore, and she said softly, "When is it?" ”

"It's about time."

"Outside, any news?"

"No, only-"

Nanyan raised his head and saw Ran Xiaoyu take a food box from the small table next to him, and there were some steaming porridge dishes in it: "The queen mother ordered someone to send this." ”

"The Queen?"

"Yes."

"Then, what about the emperor?"

Looking at Nanyan's pale face and bloodshot eyes because of the night's worries, Ran Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news yet." ”

“……”

"I don't know, what the hell does he think."

“……”

"Let's have something to eat."

Ran Xiaoyu said, placing the contents of the food box on the table, but Nanyan looked at these things, but his eyes were only faint.

Although she hadn't eaten much since early yesterday morning, she was hungry by now.

But, I can't eat it at all.

She sat for a while, then got up and walked to the dresser, and said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, come over and help me comb my hair neatly." ”

Ran Xiaoyu looked at her calm appearance and didn't say anything, so she walked over and helped her brush her loose sideburns.

I tidied up the crown on my head again.

Nanyan drew his own eyebrows and reapplied a little rouge.

Again, it became radiant.

Just as she stood up and straightened the dress on her body, Xiao Shunzi walked in from outside and bowed down to her: "Your Excellency, the emperor asked you to go to Fengtian Hall right now." ”

Nanyan looked up at him.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Mother, and all the courtiers have already arrived outside the Fengtian Palace."

Ran Xiaoyu came over to help her a little nervously.

Nanyan took a deep breath: "Let's go." ”

Soon, they left Yikun Palace and came to the outside of Fengtian Palace.

By this time, the sun had risen.

The sun once again shone on the wide square in front of the Fengtian Temple, and everyone looked nervously at the main hall after this night.
