"I, Yan Haotian, swear here today that I will always be loyal to Beixi." Yan Haotian's loud voice resounded throughout the hall.
Everyone was stunned. What did Yan Haotian mean by saying this at this time?
While everyone was thinking, Yan Haotian suddenly took out the tiger talisman. The tiger talisman is the highest token in charge of military power. The holder of the token can mobilize a tribe of the Beixi Yan tribe, a cavalry army that scares the enemy.
He slowly walked up to Ke'er and handed over the tiger talisman: "This... will be used as your dowry."
The ministers were shocked, and then Yan Haotian smiled and said: "Ke'er and I are close friends of life and death, and we are also the best friends. Now that she is getting married, I must give her a gift."
The Queen Mother was the first to react and said to the astonished Ke'er: "Ke'er, since Chief Yan has sent you this great gift, accept it quickly."
Ke'er knew how important the Tiger Talisman was to Yan Haotian. His move was nothing more than handing over military power. From now on, he could only do his best to be a tribal leader.
"You..." Ke'er didn't know what to say, and she didn't take the tiger talisman with her hand because she couldn't bear such a big gift.
Yan Haotian pulled Ke'er's hand over, placed the tiger talisman in her palm, and said with a smile: "I gave it to you, take it."
"Thank you... thank you." Besides thank you, Ke'er didn't know what else to say at this time.
At this time, Lujia saw the strange looks from everyone, so he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Chief Yan, please tell us how you fought back the enemy at the border?"
Seeing that the emperor changed the subject, the ministers also agreed: "Yes, Chief Yan, tell us quickly."
Yan Haotian waved his hand carelessly: "It's nothing. I just fought with that kid Mo Yu Wuhuan several times, and neither side got any advantage."
One of the ministers said: "No, then why did Nan Yu withdraw his troops?"
Yan Haotian smiled: "According to the reports from the spies I placed in Nanyu, it was because some kind of noble concubine of Mo Yu Wuhuan gave birth to a prince."
Ke'er was shocked, Concubine Yu? Has she given birth to a prince? Then she is one step closer to the position of queen, right? I'm afraid that the title of queen is just around the corner.
The ministers laughed and said: "Oh, it turns out that the dog emperor's woman has given birth to a child. No wonder he has withdrawn his troops."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Ke'er, you and Liu Jia should also hurry up."
Ke'er blushed and looked at Liu Jia not far away, and lowered his head shyly.
Half a month later
Emperor Beixi's wedding was celebrated by the whole country.
After Mo Yu Wuhuan heard the news, his face turned pale with anger and he yelled: "This Beiying Liujia said that rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. How can you do this?"
Yan Yu smiled: "With such a great beauty beside me, it would be strange not to miss her. I would be surprised if Beiying Liujia doesn't marry the little queen."
"Yan Yu, do you want to die?" Mo Yu Wuhuan said through gritted teeth.
Yan Yu waved her hands innocently: "I'm not wrong, that's how it is. Even if you lose, you have to be able to afford it. Don't be so childish."
At this moment, Eunuch De came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jade invites you to name the prince."
Mo Yu Wuhuan waved his hand: "Let her make her own decision, I'm annoyed."
Yan Yu rolled her eyes at Mo Yu Wuhuan: "You are going crazy, aren't you? What's the use of worrying about someone else? She is now the Queen of Beixi. Why don't you cherish your wife and son in front of you? Don't blame me for talking about you, look.
Look at you, since the little queen left, you seem to have lost your soul. What are you doing? You don’t care about Concubine Qiu’s little princess, and now you don’t name Concubine Yu’s little prince. Do you have a father like you?
?”
Mo Yu was in disbelief, and the boxer slammed the table hard: "I just don't accept it, why? Why can Beiying Liujia get her?"
Yan Yu sneered: "Didn't they exchange it for seven cities?"
"But, I thought Ke'er wouldn't like him." Mo Yu Wuhuan felt that he was strategizing and everything was in his own hands. But this time he made a mistake. Ke'er agreed to Liu Jia's proposal, which made him unable to do anything in his heart.
accept.
"Nothing is impossible. People's hearts are made of flesh. Beiying Liujia is such a gentle and elegant person. Over time, it is inevitable that the little queen will be tempted." Yan Yu analyzed.
"No, I want to take her back." After Mo Yu Wuhuan finished speaking, he immediately drafted an edict.
"How to rob?" Yan Yu looked at him doubtfully.
"I am giving an order now to send 300,000 troops to attack Beixi with all our strength until it is defeated." Mo Yu Wuhuan said while writing the edict.
Yan Yu stepped forward and immediately grabbed his pen and ink, cursing: "Are you crazy? You are digging your own grave by doing this. It's not like you don't know that we have a total of 300,000 troops. If we all attack Beixi, then
Once the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Western Liang Dynasty attack us, won’t our country be destroyed?”
Mo Yu Wuhuan said angrily, "I don't care, I don't care about anything, I want Ke'er back."
Yan Yu went up and punched Mo Yu Wuhuan in the face, scolding: "Hunjun, please wake up."
Unexpectedly, Mo Yu Wuhuan turned around and kicked Yan Yu hard in the abdomen. Yan Yu was kicked and staggered to the ground.
"Why are you accusing me? Now that you have Belle, and you live with Belle, you don't care about other people's feelings?" Mo Yu Wuhuan asked with red eyes.
Yan Yu smiled and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said: "Think about it for yourself, who caused this situation today? It was you. It was you who pushed the little queen to a desperate situation step by step. If you had confessed to her in the first place, you would have done well.
If you love her and love her, will she leave? Maybe you already have children in groups by now. Why should she, a woman, live in a different place and live a homeless life? In the end, you are the culprit, and all of this is
It's your own fault."
After saying that, Yan Yu stood up and left, leaving Mo Yu Wuhuan alone in pain to drink in the imperial study...
Beixi Imperial City
Lanterns were decorated everywhere, because today was the happy day for Emperor Beixi and the Snow Mountain Goddess, and the people knelt down to pray. Ke'er was wearing a red robe with white fur on the side, a queen's phoenix crown on her head, and East China Sea white pearl earrings in her ears.
, every frown and every smile looks so elegant.
If a woman is so beautiful that no one can be jealous, then that is the highest level. If you are not jealous, it is because others know that they will never be able to compare with her beauty.
Lujia was dressed in a blue velvet python robe, extremely luxurious, and wore an emperor's golden crown. For the first time in twenty-five years, he smiled sincerely. He never thought that he would have such a happy day.
At this moment, he cherished the happiness in front of him more than anyone else, and this woman with a beautiful smile...
He swore that he would love her until he grew old, if he could grow old safely...
"Newcomers come to the palace." the ceremonial officer shouted.
Ke'er felt particularly nervous. Although it wasn't her first time getting married, this time was different from the last time. The last time was because of the joint marriage between the two countries. At that time, she didn't have deep feelings for Mo Yu Wuhuan.
But it was different for Luca. She really liked Luca from the bottom of her heart. Although she couldn't say she loved her deeply, she felt that being with Luca made her feel very warm and at ease.
Liu Jia held Ke'er's hand and slowly walked up the hall step by step. The Queen Mother sat in the center, watching her son and her beloved woman approaching her, her eyes flashing with tears and she was extremely moved.
"Bow down to heaven and earth." the ceremony officer shouted.
Just when Ke'er was about to lower his head and prostrate, he suddenly heard an exclamation, and then he suddenly lifted his hijab and saw Liu Jia falling at his feet with a pale face.
"Brother Lujia, wake up? Wake up?" Ke'er shouted worriedly.
The worship hall did not continue. Liujia suddenly suffered from cold illness and was sent back to Panlong Palace to rest. Hua Qingluo checked Liujia's pulse for a long time, then walked out and sighed: "Queen, please be mentally prepared."
Ke'er panicked and grabbed Hua Qingluo's sleeve: "Uncle Hua, how is Brother Liujia?"
"The emperor's cold energy invaded his internal organs and he has fallen into a coma. I'm afraid he will die soon."
"Impossible, how could it be like this? Isn't it the Tianshan Snow Lotus that can prolong life?" Ke'er said, remembering the lotus he picked for Liu Jia before.
Hua Qingluo nodded: "Well, snow lotus can extend your life, but you must insist on taking it every day. Once it is interrupted, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ke'er frowned: "Brother Liujia is taking the snow lotus decoction prepared by Uncle Hua every day."
At this time, Li Ge suddenly whispered: "A few days ago, when Feng Bitong and Nu Da rebelled, the emperor's medication was interrupted that night."
"What?" Ke'er took a few steps back in disbelief, feeling like the world was spinning.
"Queen, please express my condolences." Hua Qingluo sighed.
Ke'er suddenly shouted: "Sorry? Why are you sad? Brother Liujia is not dead yet?"
"Although the emperor's pulse is still there, it is already very weak and he has fallen into a deep coma, which means he may remain in this coma for several days, dozens of days, or maybe years." Hua Qingluo explained cautiously.
"Vegetative state?" Ke'er muttered in a low voice. There was no such word in ancient times, so Hua Qingluo said he was in a deep coma, but Ke'er understood that this meant that Liu Jia had become a vegetative state and would remain in a coma like this.
"Uncle Hua, please, please think of a way to save Brother Liujia." Ke'er cried and knelt down on the ground to beg Hua Qingluo, bursting into tears.
"Queen, why do you need to embarrass me? If you can save the emperor, I will not stand idly by." Hua Qingluo said in embarrassment.
At this time, Hua Yunzi on the side suddenly said: "Dad, isn't it said that the blood of a thousand-year-old turtle can bring the dead back to life?"
Hua Qingluo shook his head: "There is no basis for this, it is just a few records in medical books. No one knows whether it is really effective, not to mention where the thousand-year-old turtle blood can be obtained so easily. I have never seen it in most of my life.
.”
Thousand-year turtle blood? Why does this name sound so familiar? Ke'er tried his best to recall it, and suddenly remembered that for Mo Yu Wuhuan's birthday, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty paid tribute to a thousand-year turtle king as a birthday gift.
So he immediately asked: "Uncle Hua, is the thousand-year-old turtle blood the blood of the thousand-year turtle king?"
Hua Qingluo nodded: "Well, have you heard of it, too?"
Ke'er nodded, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Not only have I heard of it, I also know where it can be found?"
"Oh? That's great." Hua Qingluo said.
"Uncle Hua, can brother Liu Jia be saved with the thousand-year turtle blood?" Ke'er asked hopefully.
Hua Qingluo shook his head: "I said that this thousand-year-old turtle blood can bring the dead back to life. I only read it in medical books. No one has tried it yet, so I can't guarantee that it can save the emperor. But, yes
Thousand years of turtle blood, at least there is a glimmer of hope."
"Well, just have a glimmer of hope. It's better than nothing." Ke'er nodded with satisfaction.
Then she got up and left, walked to the royal study, wrote a letter to Mo Yu Wuhuan, and wrote in the letter that it would take a thousand years of turtle blood. She knew that Mo Yu Wuhuan would not give her such a precious thing easily, so she
I mentioned that I am willing to exchange for three cities, and it is the main city.
With the Empress Dowager's permission, Ke'er decided to exchange three larger cities in Beixi for the thousand-year turtle blood. Mo Yu Wuhuan probably wouldn't refuse.
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong this time. When Mo Yu Wuhuan received the letter, he just smiled and wrote only twelve words in the reply: I want thousand-year turtle blood, unless I exchange it with you.
