It's snowing in the middle of the night and it's snowing in the fourth. Even if there are two charcoal fires burning in the palace, it can't stop a bit of chill from creeping in at night.
Let Concubine Li wake up again on the carved dragon bed.
When she woke up instantly, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she had an illusion, as if the ascended emperor was staring at her and torturing her soul over and over again.
How can you usurp the throne?
How come you forgot your promise to me? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?
When Su Qingyue encouraged her to take action against the emperor for the first time, although she was a little scared, she was also looking forward to it, because whenever she thought of her dead son, she would feel infinite resentment in her heart.
Even if Xia Yunjie died in the hands of the Imperial Master, that guy had already ascended in the daytime, so she had no choice but to cast all her hatred on His Majesty the Emperor.
The reason why Su Qingyue was able to control the government in a short period of time was entirely because she controlled Queen Yeluyan and the prince in advance...
For the sake of the well-being of his family, the emperor had to compromise.
She even felt that Su Qingyue was colder and more ruthless than her.
However, even after she successfully ascended the throne and became the only queen of the five regions, she had already been recognized by a group of courtiers because she was the crown princess.
Even people like Xia Yuan, the right prime minister, had to compromise with her for the emperor's safety so that she could sit on the emperor's throne.
As a result, Su Qingyue became the National Preceptor that she deserved!
Become a minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
The two even agreed to wait for the spiritual energy of the five realms to recover and continue revising here instead of ascending to another world.
In Su Qingyue's words, it is better to wait here than to go to another world and start from scratch.
Because, after the Tianshan Mountain's divine light shocked the sky, the two of them discovered that the spiritual energy of this world seemed to be slowly recovering.
The rationale is similar to Li Xiuyuan's request for Minghui not to ascend and to stay and practice.
However, the accident a few days ago made it impossible for her to sit on the throne, and she had nightmares almost every night.
Logically speaking, she should leave the imperial city with Su Qingyue immediately and abandon the throne.
Without the emperor as a bargaining chip, it seems that she and Su Qingyue have lost the threat to restrain Xia Yuan and others...
However, Su Qingyue told her that no one in the five regions could challenge the emperor's throne. Because the government had stabilized, even Xia Yuan and others did not dare to mess around.
Therefore, Li Fei had no choice but to bet with Su Qingyue that the people on the left and right would not immediately ask to see the emperor Xia Yunlong.
Su Qingyue told her that as long as she persisted for two more years, when she became the head of Qingcheng again, even if the right minister wanted to make trouble, he would not be able to make trouble.
After all, a dynasty would not dare to be an enemy of a sect that was born.
Therefore, Concubine Li, as the empress, has been living in uneasiness these days, fearing that the right prime minister will ask to see the eldest prince's family every day.
She could ignore Nalan Yu, but she knew she must not underestimate the Right Prime Minister and President Nalan of the Royal Academy.
Because Xia Yuan often lived in the palace these years, he had already passed on the position of dean to Nalan Kunxuan.
Seeing it, it’s the winter solstice again.
On the winter solstice, it is natural to go to court. Even if you don't entertain the ministers, you still have to give some sweet treats to these obedient ministers.
Lazily, Concubine Li looked at the maid beside her and asked, "Is the Imperial Master here?"
…
In the flower-filled building, Nalanyu, who got up early, stared out the window in a daze.
It was the winter solstice again, and neither he nor Hua Tianxia felt any joy in his heart.
Ever since Su Qingyue imprisoned the emperor's family in the palace, he knew that Concubine Li would be difficult to deal with when she came back.
In other words, the Emperor is afraid that he will never be able to stand up, otherwise Su Qingyue and Li Fei would not suddenly usurp the throne. They have the strength to deal with the ministers in the court, and they can count on death.
The eldest prince's family was imprisoned in a place that even he didn't know about, and Concubine Li ascended the throne brazenly. Su Qingyue was not afraid of being accused of rebellion.
Even if Li Fei was planning the overall situation, no one could know the news...
But after the incident, no one stood up to oppose it.
It has to be said that he was extremely disappointed with the ministers in the DPRK, the Prime Minister on the Left and the Prime Minister on the Right.
Although the two of them said that for the safety of the emperor and his family, they did not dare to offend Concubine Li, fearing that Su Qingyue would murder her and silence her.
However, he also knew that if he and others did not stand up and speak, it would make no difference whether they were accomplices.
At this time, he should have left. As long as he brought his family back to Tianshan Sword Sect, even Su Qingyue would be unable to do anything to him.
After all, how could Qingcheng dare to start a war with the Tianshan Sword Sect?
But at this moment, Nalan Yu discovered that his son was unwilling to leave and said that he must leave with the princess!
Where would he go to find the princess at this time?
He didn't expect that Su Qingyue, whom he hadn't seen for several years, was so unpredictable that even the right minister didn't dare to fight her head-on.
He didn't expect that his brother had been away for just a few years, and the imperial city would change.
Even he and Hua Tianxia might not be able to defeat Su Qingyue and the Queen hiding in the palace.
And he didn't want Tianshan Sword Sect to go to war with Qingcheng directly, so he turned himself and Hua Tianxia into businessmen.
Except for the days when he was in court, he devoted himself to helping the business in the restaurant and letting Hua Tianxia take care of some things.
However, he didn't know that he and others like him had made a fatal mistake.
They were appeasing the traitors. Once Su Qingyue and Li Fei established a firm foothold, they would be dealt with next.
At the moment, he and Hua Tianxia don't trust anyone, except the emperor's family who was imprisoned by Su Qingyue, and now he can't even trust the left and right ministers.
It was also because there was no news about the emperor and Yeluyan's family, otherwise he would have taken Hua Tianxia and Nalan Ming back to Tianshan Sword Sect.
There were no more days with the Imperial Preceptor, and the Queen usurped the throne. He felt that every day was a torment.
He sighed softly, looked at Hua Tianxia on the side and said: "Madam, today is the winter solstice, why don't we take a day off and let everyone relax!"
"Okay, husband, you should go and come back early. Don't argue with those two women."
Hua Tianxia sighed. Although the queen's ranking had shocked everyone, because there was no news about the emperor's family, the emperor and his ministers were a little helpless.
Even she has been living a restless life in the past few years, with a sad look on her face.
The couple ate breakfast in a hurry, and Hua Tianxia sent Nalan Yu outside the door, instructing the maids in the building not to do business today and for everyone to have a day off.
…
The weather today is a little weird. The sky is overcast with clouds and snowflakes are falling all over the sky. The entire imperial city is shrouded in haze, making people breathless.
After tidying up, Xia Yuan looked at the wind and snow outside the door and sighed heavily.
He also deeply blamed himself for Su Qingyue helping Concubine Li to usurp the throne. When the imperial master was operating on Concubine Li and her son, he should not have acted on his own initiative to stop it.
Otherwise, there would not have been the Beihai Rebellion, the National Master would not have been promoted in advance, and the current scandal of Concubine Li usurping the throne would not have happened.
Unfortunately, he woke up too late.
When he realized it, everything was a foregone conclusion. No matter how unwilling he and Nalan Kunxuan were, they seemed powerless.
At the moment, the only thing he can do is hope that the eldest prince and his family are safe and can live the rest of their lives in peace.
Otherwise, even if he ascends and leaves, he will not be able to see the emperor back then.
He sighed secretly in his heart. It was getting late, and as the Right Prime Minister, he had to go to court, even if the woman sitting on the throne was not the one he liked.
Now he suddenly looked forward to the ascension of the Imperial Master back to the imperial city.
If that guy wields the butcher knife again, he will definitely close his eyes, never talk too much, and will no longer be merciful.
At this time, he remembered what the emperor's nephew said back then.
The boss is too soft-hearted and cannot maintain his position. Only people like the Imperial Master can protect him.
Now the whereabouts of the eldest prince's family are unknown. They are deliberately trying to make things difficult for the queen, and they cannot find a legitimate person to take over for the time being, unless he takes the throne himself.
It's just that he has his own pride, but he doesn't allow this.
After thinking about it, I was so smart that I never expected that I would fall into the hands of two women in the end.
Good men don't fight with women because when women are still weak, once a woman turns into a tiger, even a top monk like him has to consider the stability of the entire dynasty.
Today is the winter solstice again. The moment he walked out of the gate outside the mansion, he suddenly had an illusion.
How is this weather so similar to the day that winter when 90,000 troops entered the city and overthrew the second emperor?
With a heavy sigh, he got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
…
The Imperial Master's Mansion in the wind and snow woke up from a dream as promised.
Even after Su Qingyue was granted the title of Imperial Advisor, she did not dare to come and occupy the original Imperial Advisor's Mansion. She was afraid that the ministers would scold her behind her back, and she was even more afraid of being criticized by the people of the imperial city.
After all, the Imperial Master who left was loved by the entire Five Dynasties.
Not to mention that the Imperial Master triggered the temple on Tianshan Mountain and caused countless monks in the five regions to learn the truth and break through the realm overnight.
Even though the Imperial Preceptor led the army to put an end to the war in Beihai, she didn't dare to look for trouble on her own.
On the contrary, she likes to stay in the palace. After all, she and Li Fei are used to their current life.
She doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she can practice while commanding the civil and military officials of the dynasty, so why wouldn't she?
In two years' time, the head of Qingcheng will break through the void and ascend, and the entire Qingcheng will be hers.
On the winter solstice of this year, two guests were welcomed into the Imperial Master's Mansion, which surprised the housekeeper.
Because it was Tang Chao, the alchemist from Qingcheng, who came with her husband Xiaoju.
There was no news about her brother in these years. Xiaoju felt that staying in Qingcheng was too boring, so she came to the Imperial City with Tang Chao.
When he came to the imperial city, he naturally wanted to live in his brother's house. Although Li Ye had been promoted, the palace would still award salaries to the housekeeper and others.
Over the years, the couple would stay here from time to time.
First of all, they were thinking that maybe one day their brother would come back, so that they could see Li Ye as soon as possible.
Secondly, I thought about staying in the Imperial City for the whole winter, playing with Nalan Yu, and asking about the news about my eldest brother Hu Ge, and then I would go to Fengyun City in the spring.
"If my brother were here, how dare Elder Su dare to mess around in the imperial city... It would really disgrace the entire Qingcheng."
Tang Chao looked at Xiaoju in front of him and sighed. At the moment, he only dared to complain in front of his wife and Nalan Yu.
Even in front of a group of senior brothers and junior brothers in Qingcheng, I didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
He was even thinking about why the Imperial Master didn't cut through the mess quickly and kill Concubine Li with one sword.
Otherwise, why would Brother Nalan and the eldest prince be so passive? However, it seems that it is still too late after all.
He and Xiaoju didn't know how long the current situation could last.
Because the leader of Qingcheng will have to ascend and leave this world in less than two years.
Once the leader leaves, Qingcheng will become Su Qingyue's world.
Xiaoju, who got up early, was boiling water and planning to make a pot of tea. Clearing her mind when she was upset was also a way to pass the time when she was helpless.
Looking at the flying snow outside the hall, Xiao Ju couldn't help but said: "Why hasn't my brother Li Ye come back? Xiao Ju misses him so much. Where have they gone, sir and mistress?"
The helpless confession is the most realistic portrayal of the couple's current state of mind.
Tang Chao was silent and didn't know what to say. If possible, he would also like to ask him personally about the guy who never came back once he left.
