Chapter 222 The dragon bell rings and the emperor dies
"I'm here, are you uncomfortable sitting there?" Jun Jiuji slowed down his horse and looked at Xiao Ning'er who stuck out her head.
Ye Yining didn't say anything, but handed him the letter in her hand.
Jun Jiuji took the letter and took a focused look at it.
When he saw clearly what was written on it, his hands tightened unconsciously.
Ye Yining didn't dare to speak and looked at him worriedly.
Jun Jiuji took two deep breaths, balled up the letter in his hand and turned it into powder, and then looked at Xiao Ning'er.
"If it's too late, we won't go back to Beijing."
His voice was very soft, but one could hear too much forbearance and sadness.
Ye Yining's eyes suddenly turned red.
Jun Jiuji's mother has passed away, and the emperor has fallen into a coma and is on his deathbed.
In the Northern Han Country, things are about to change.
How sad Jun Jiuji must be right now!
She lowered the car curtains, suddenly opened the front curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.
Jun Guanyue and Green Grass sitting next to him were frightened and screamed repeatedly.
"Ning'er, Ning'er... stop the car quickly..."
"Stop the car quickly, Princess Ji has jumped out of the car..."
Jun Jiuji reacted faster and immediately abandoned his horse, holding Xiao Ning'er who jumped out of the carriage into his arms.
"Why did you jump out of the car? Do you know it's dangerous?"
Jun Jiuji looked at the little girl in his arms anxiously and fearfully.
He has already lost his mother, and he cannot lose Xiao Ning'er again.
It doesn't matter if you get even a little bit injured.
Ye Yining reached out and hugged his waist, burying her face in his chest.
"I want to ride with you."
She just wants to be with him!
The soft and sweet voice was like a ray of warm sunshine, breaking into Jun Jiuji's heart that was gradually becoming gloomy and freezing.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub her windblown hair, and tied the cap of her cloak for her.
"Then let's ride together."
As soon as Jun Jiuji finished speaking, Feixue ran over quickly.
Jun Jiuji put Xiao Ning'er on the horse's back, and then took her into his arms.
The two rode horses and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.
Forgotten in the carriage, Jun Guanyue, Tang Ningxue and others stared blankly ahead.
"What happened?"
Jun Guanyue still doesn't know what happened just now.
Why did Ning'er jump off the carriage?
Tang Ningxue didn't know what was going on, and she was confused now.
At this time, the wise king came over on horseback.
"Guanyue, let the housekeeper lead you back to Beijing along the way. I have to rush back to Beijing first."
Jun Guanyue quickly called her father, "Dad, what happened?"
The wise king looked into the distance and said quietly: "The emperor is critically ill. Guanyue, you have grown up and learn to take care of yourself. Dad can't stay with you forever."
After saying that, the wise king waved his riding whip and quickly disappeared in the wind and snow.
Jun Guanyue suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned, and felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
Tang Ningxue was shocked by the news.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is going to die?"
Hong Tao also suddenly reacted, "Is there going to be a palace change? I heard that the emperor was poisoned before, and there was a palace change."
"Then Prince Ji and the others are going to rush back..."
Tang Ningxue didn't dare to say the next words and covered her mouth in shock.
Jun Guanyue also came to her senses at this time and quickly ordered the driver.
"Quick! Hurry!"
Even if Prince Ji's brother and father left first, she couldn't lag too far behind.
…
ahead.
The flying snow is like a white lightning in the snow, running fast.
The speed was so fast that Ye Yining was a little uncomfortable and felt dizzy.
Jun Jiuji noticed Xiao Ning'er's discomfort and patted Feixue on the back.
"Slower!"
After Feixue slowed down, Ye Yining coughed a few times.
She is so dizzy!
"Would you like to stop and rest for a while?" Jun Jiuji wrapped Xiao Ning'er in his cloak.
"No, just keep going!"
She knew that Jun Jiuji wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible.
She really didn't want to be held back.
Jun Jiuji looked at the pale little Ning'er in her arms with distress, "No need to show off, let's take a little rest."
He knew in his heart that the horse's speed was too fast, causing Xiao Ning'er to inhale too much air-conditioning, making her uncomfortable.
Ye Yining shook her head firmly, "Continue on your way. Can Feixue fly? If so, will it be faster?"
Before Jun Jiuji could say anything, Feixue had already set up a special protective barrier to resist the wind and snow for his master, and flew into the air.
Ye Yining soon discovered that the feeling of flying was much more comfortable than turning into lightning and running on the snow.
Moreover, flying can take shortcuts, and the mountains near Jiuhan Pass can be jumped over with just one flight.
After flying out of the icy and snowy Jiuhan Pass, Jun Jiuji also felt a little regretful.
If I had known that Shenju's flight would save time, effort and comfort, Xiao Ning'er wouldn't have to suffer.
Just when they were about to enter Guiyun City, a deafening ringing of a bell suddenly came from the sky.
"Boom..."
Jun Jiuji froze when he heard the sound of the bell.
The flying snow immediately fell from the sky to the ground.
"Brother Ninth, this is..."
Before Ye Yining finished speaking, she heard another dull and distant bell ringing in the sky.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji in panic.
This is the death knell of Northern Han Country!
This kind of bell is only rung when the emperor dies.
It is said that the sound of this kind of dragon bell can be heard throughout the Northern Han Kingdom.
In her previous life, she had only heard of it, but never heard it before.
After the Longyin Bell rang nine times in a row, Jun Jiuji's heart sank.
"Xiao Ning'er, my father passed away."
Ye Yining was also panicked. She sat up and wanted to dismount.
Jun Jiuji took her down first and then knelt down in the direction of the imperial palace in the capital.
Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji distressedly and knelt down beside him.
When the two of them knelt down and kowtowed, the people of the entire Northern Han Kingdom also knelt down on the street and knelt down along the street.
At this time, everyone knew that the emperor of their Northern Han Kingdom had passed away.
The wise king, who was still running in the ice and snow, also heard the sound of the dragon bell.
After the nine dragon bells rang, he almost fell off his horse.
"Why? Why don't you wait for me?"
…
Return to Cloud City.
Ye Yining entered an inn, changed out of red clothes and put on white clothes.
People who also changed their clothes included the entire Northern Han people.
After changing into plain clothes, Ye Yining walked up to Jun Jiuji and gently pulled his arm.
"Aren't we going back to Beijing?"
Jun Jiuji reached out and hugged her, resting his head lightly on her shoulder.
"Xiao Ning'er, did my father say anything to you last time in the palace?"
Ye Yining bit her lower lip lightly and nodded immediately.
"He said that if he and your mother and concubine are gone before we return to Beijing, he will ask us not to return to Beijing. I...I am not willing to do this."
