Chen Qiong didn't know how to ride a horse, so he sat in the carriage and fell far behind the group. Gu Yan caught up with them on horseback. When he saw the Imperial Consort Yi in the prisoner carriage, a trace of admiration flashed through his eyes.
Imperial Consort Yi saw her and smiled charmingly. "It seems that Princess Pingyang is still as glorious as ever."
She called her Princess Pingyang, not Madame. Her meaning was obvious. Gu Yan rode beside her and asked, "Imperial Consort Yi, aren't you worried about yourself?"
Imperial Consort Yi looked in the direction of Yin Province and said, "What's there to worry about? Without Yi Ling, this mob is no match for the Immortal Guards."
"Then the Empress may very well perish," Gu Heng said mercilessly.
Imperial Consort Yi heard this and looked back at her. "Don't I still have you?"
"Imperial Consort Yi thinks too highly of Pingyang. Pingyang can't even protect herself." Gu Yan said.
Imperial Consort Yi laughed and lowered her voice. "When the Anqing Emperor mentioned this plan, I didn't agree. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to do it. Now it seems that I underestimated you."
The corners of Gu Ling's lips curled up as she said, "Thank you for your praise, Niang Niang." After pausing for a moment, Gu Ling slowly said, "Your Majesty, it collapsed."
Imperial Consort Yi's smile froze. She stared into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Impossible! You lied to me. "
Gu Yan smiled and looked straight at her. "Why is it impossible? Imperial Consort Yi's poison is much better than Pingyang's."
The Emperor had indeed passed away last night in a coma. However, because of the current situation, the Duan Of Silla decided to keep the funeral a secret.
Imperial Consort Yi naturally understood what she was talking about. She stared at her blankly and shook her head. "How is this possible? How could he die just like that?!"
Gu Yan looked at her infatuated appearance and felt sad in his heart. Even if such a noble woman was reduced to a prisoner, she still maintained her elegance. When she heard the news of the Emperor's death, she lost her composure. He was afraid that she really loved the Emperor. But how could she poison the Emperor?
"Isn't that what you want?" Gu Yan asked.
"I didn't want him to die," Imperial Consort Yi replied blankly, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I just hate him for favoring Huan Zhuo, favoring that b * tch's son!"
"Bitch? As far as I know, she is your little sister. " Empress Min and Imperial Consort Yi were distant sisters of the same clan. Because of this, the Xiao Clan had a meteoric rise.
Imperial Consort Yi sneered as if she had heard some dirty words: "Little sister? If she really treated me as a sister, she wouldn't have tried to steal my position as empress. "
Imperial Consort Yi was already a wangfei when the Emperor was still alive. Logically speaking, the position of empress should be hers. This had always puzzled Gu Yan and made him very curious about Empress Min.
Today, when he heard her talk about the past, he didn't disturb her and just quietly watched her reminisce. Imperial Consort Yi saw Gu Yan as one of her people when she poisoned Yi Ling, so she said without hesitation: "That year, the Emperor was still a prince. In front of the Emperor, he bluntly asked to marry the Xiao Clan's second miss, who had a face like jade and poetry like gold. I happily married him, but when he lifted the veil, I saw the disappointment in his eyes. Later, when I was pregnant with Huan Xuan, Xiao Yan came to the fu to see me. When she met the Emperor, he disregarded everything and married her. After he ascended the throne, he made her the empress. How could I be willing! " Imperial Consort Yi seemed to have sunk into a painful memory, her eyes flashing with hatred. Gu Yan listened on the side and understood a bit.
Empress Min was called Xiao Yan, and Imperial Consort Yi was called Xiao Yun. When the Emperor asked, he only said, "Look at the face like jade and poetry like gold." Everyone naturally thought of the Xiao Clan's second miss, Xiao Yun. Who would have thought that the Xiao Clan's second miss, Xiao Yan, was born of a concubine?
Imperial Concubine Yi coldly smiled and said, "It's because she and Your Majesty had met before. When Your Majesty asked her for her name, she only said that she was the second young miss of the Xiao family, whose beauty was like jade and whose charm was like gold. That's why the Emperor wanted to marry her, but the previous Emperor granted me the marriage. Later, the Emperor appointed an empress. To the Xiao Clan, no matter who it was, they were all daughters of the Xiao Clan. No one cared, but how could I let her be comfortable? I made her have a difficult birth, but Huan Zhuo, that bastard, actually survived. He even wanted to compete with my Xuan 'er for the throne! "
Gu Yan listened and understood that Empress Min's difficult birth was caused by Imperial Consort Yi. And Huan Zhuo probably already knew about this.
After a long time, Imperial Consort Yi seemed to recover from her pain. She looked at Gu Yan and said: "Fortunately, from now on, no one will compete with my Xuan 'er."
Gu Yan's eyes were like water. He calmly looked at her and said: "Is that so?" Her strange tone made Imperial Consort Yi feel uneasy, as if there was a huge conspiracy that firmly locked her in.
This premonition was confirmed on the final battlefield in Yin Province.
Yi Ling's army attacked all the way to Yin Province's city walls. Xiao Ze closed the city gates and threw down huge rocks to attack.
For a moment, the two armies were in a stalemate, unable to move. Xiao Ze proudly shouted from the top of the city walls: "Soldiers below the city walls, you have all been deceived by evil people. Put down your weapons and surrender!"
The army couldn't conquer Yin Province for a long time, and the huge rocks smashed many people to death. For a moment, everyone was in a panic. Xiao Ze saw that the soldiers below were in an uproar and continued to shout: "Yi Ling has died from poison. Without him, you will die in vain. Think about your parents, wives, and children. Surrender as soon as possible!"
This sentence directly hit the hearts of the soldiers. Originally, they relied on Yi Ling, who was like a god of war. However, Yi Ling had an accident that day. All the soldiers saw him vomit blood and his life was in danger.
Now that they heard Xiao Ze say that Yi Ling was dead, they were in a panic.
Just as the two armies were in a state of chaos, the commander-in-chief Jiang Xun, who had led the two armies to kill the enemy, urged his horse forward and shouted: "Who said I'm dead?"
As he spoke, he took off his helmet and looked at Xiao Ze, who was shouting from the top of the city walls. Everyone was shocked. How was this Jiang Xun? It was actually Yi Ling, who they thought had died from poison.
Xiao Ze saw his face from the top of the city walls and his heart sank. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. There was only one thought in his mind: he had fallen into a trap. A sense of foreboding crept up from the bottom of his feet.
The soldiers of the two armies saw Yi Ling riding on a horse. His armor was shining, and the red tasseled spear in his hand was fluttering in the wind. They were overjoyed and shouted: "General! General! "
Yi Ling raised his spear slightly and stopped the shouts: "Soldiers, Xiao Ze stole the country and rebelled. He also plotted to poison me. His crimes are unforgivable. Follow me and kill. We will flatten the Xiao Clan and protect our country!"
The morale of the two armies was greatly boosted. For a moment, their shouts shook the heavens: "Flatten the Xiao Clan and protect our country! Flatten the Xiao Clan and protect our country! "
The shouts were earth-shattering, each wave louder than the last.
Gu Yan and Imperial Consort Yi heard everything clearly from the rear. When Gu Yan heard Yi Ling's words, she felt a sense of reverence rise in her heart.
Yi Ling, this name was destined to be born on the battlefield. She finally understood the significance of this name to the soldiers.
He was finally no longer the Asura of the battlefield in her heart. He was a god that belonged to the battlefield!
