When the troops came to the city, the imperial capital was still as quiet as before, and the water was calm.
The defenders at the city gate were loose and almost fled.
However, King Xuan's army did not march straight in, but stationed outside Anhua Gate.
That night, a carriage entered the city from the main gate, went up the deserted Suzaku Street, and went straight to Donghe Palace.
When they reached the gate of the palace, the guard blocked the way and shouted: "Who is breaking into the palace?"
Then when he saw the carriage curtains being lifted and the face revealed inside, he was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly said: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Get up and I'll go into the palace to see the emperor."
"this" A few years ago, Ning Yan, the eldest princess of Donghe, was deprived of her title for treason, and everyone involved was punished.
During the reign of the Empress Dowager, no one in Donghe even dared to mention Ning Yan's name.
It was not until the Queen Mother passed away recently that the Emperor posthumously named her the Princess Protector again.
"Since I am still the eldest princess, I am not allowed to go into the palace to see what's wrong with the emperor."
Her voice became colder and colder, faintly revealing the domineering power of having held a high position for many years.
The guard hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
Then he turned around and shouted: "Open the door and let us go."
Then he bowed and retreated to the roadside.
Yan Ning glanced at him lightly and lowered the curtain.
Donghe Palace is still the same, without even a trace of change.
She held her chin and looked out of the small window, as if she was still busy going to court in the early morning yesterday, accepting the worship of ministers in Wuji Hall, reviewing memorials in Chengqing Hall, and criticizing Zheng Yu incessantly.
The cool night wind still blew my hair, stirring the coldness that had persisted over the years.
There was no obstacle on the way to Chengqing Hall.
The old eunuch in purple robe stood alone in the cold wind and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Old slave pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
The old figure knelt down faintly.
"Eunuch Duan, please get up quickly," Yan Ning quickly supported him, "I would also like to thank Eunuch Duan for his help many years ago."
Duan Ye burst into tears: "Old slave, I just had a promise from the late empress to save the princess's life at a critical moment.
However, things are unpredictable.
I only hope that the princess will be able to persuade the emperor now."
Yan Ning nodded silently, and then walked towards the main hall step by step.
When I pushed open the heavy door, there was no light inside, it was chaos.
"Yu'er."
She stood still and called softly.
The hazy light was projected from behind her, reflecting a graceful figure on the ground.
After a long time, there was slight movement in the darkness.
"Sister Huang."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Yan Ning turned to Duan Ye and said, "Eunuch Duan, please light the lamp."
Then she stepped towards the place where the sound came from.
When the light came, Yan Ning was one step away from him, looking down at him huddled in the corner.
His face was pale, and his eyes were ashen and gloomy.
Looking at her, her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Tears slowly welled up in his eyes.
"It's so good, Sister Huang, that you didn't die."
"I have been dreaming that you jumped off the cliff, and then I jumped down with you."
Yan Ning raised her head and sighed, then slowly knelt down and sat next to him.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"Yu'er, I never thought I'd see you again."
She spoke carefully.
"Sister Huang, are you still complaining about me?"
Yan Ning shook her head: "If I hadn't let go, I wouldn't have taken this trip.
What happened in the past is in the past.
I forgot it, and you should forget it too."
Zheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really difficult to forget."
"I came today because I hope you can let go.
The situation is as it is, and there is no need to struggle pointlessly.
As long as you obey, at least I can save your life.
There is only so much I can do for you."
She said slowly He spoke slowly, without any hesitation.
After a long silence, Zheng Yu sneered.
"It was Gu Mingxuan who asked you to come.
He wanted my surrender, and he wanted to take charge of Donghe without any bloodshed.
He also wanted to block the mouth of Youyou, a man in this world, and justly ascend the throne.
Why?
Why should he take advantage of all the good things?
" "He didn't ask me to come."
In contrast, Yan Ning's voice was too quiet, "I came on my own.
I want to see you.
Yu'er, let go.
I didn't believe in destiny.
I think as long as you There is nothing that cannot be changed by hard work.
I even thought that I could save the entire Donghe.
But God told me with bloody facts that I was dreaming.
It took me nearly ten years to have a huge dream until the end.
Wake up.
Yu'er, it's time for you to wake up."
"Sister Huang, you are still blaming me" "It's because it was you who uncovered this bloody scene and brutally spread it out in front of me."
Zheng Yu fell back slumped, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"That's all, I lost.
Maybe I never won."
She didn't even remember how Yan Ning left that day.
When he woke up, he was already sitting in Gu Mingxuan's arms.
Above his head is his gentle gaze.
She rubbed her eyes and smiled: "How did I come back?"
"Of course the husband personally picked up the wife."
He pinched her nose out of habit, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "You are too tired, take a good rest, and leave the rest to me."
Yan Ning nodded and gently closed her eyes.
Since he is here, what else is there to worry about?
On the fifth day of May in the sixteenth year of Shi Youqing's reign in Donghe, King Xuan's army quietly entered the city and occupied the Donghe Palace.
However, at the moment of entering the city, the last emperor of Donghe committed suicide in Chengqing Palace, and a fire burned everything.
Everything in the past was also quietly annihilated.
Yan Ning stood in silence for a long time in front of the ruined Chengqing Palace.

The fine drizzle soaked every inch of her hair and made her body cold.
Gu Mingxuan hugged her from behind without saying a word.
But she could still see his worry, patted his hand and smiled softly: "I'm fine."
However, the smile was pale and weak.
How could it be okay?
He was the person she regarded as a relative.
Even though there had been unhappiness and discord, she wouldfully hoped that he could still live.
Although he knew that such an ending was too cruel for him.
But I still didn't expect that he would end everything in such a decisive way.
The worst thing is that it cannot be kept in the human world.
So one by one, did they all go?
"I know you're sad, so feel free to cry if you want."
"No."
She shook her head, "I hope he can go to a warm place, which is warmer than here.
I hope he can forget everything and live a more stable life in the next life."
Everything fell apart so easily
