Chapter 242: No Turning Back, No Turning Back
A feeling of tenderness shot straight up from his tailbone, and Nan Baoyi's breathing became rapid.
She couldn't fight against Xiao Yi's restraint, so she was forced to raise her head high and whispered: "We agreed not to come to me recently, so you should leave quickly. If Queen Shen's people see it, our plan will definitely be exposed." Discover……"
Xiao Yi refused to leave.
He held the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her lips. His lowered eyelashes outlined a deep and flamboyant shadow on his handsome face.
His voice was low and hoarse: "The army in the southwest has passed through the fiefdoms of the Tang, Song, and Liu families, and is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an City. Gu Chongshan and Ning Wanzhou have also met, and they have traveled over the mountains in light vehicles and simple clothes. We should arrive in Chang'an in two days. Over in Luoyang, Yin Chaozong lobbied the warlords in Qilu for me, and within three days, the troops will be at the gate of Chang'an."
Nan Baoyi raised his eyes, Danfeng's eyes were shining brightly.
In other words, the day when Queen Shen became emperor was the best time for the second brother to seize power.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging the city. If we can win without a fight and avoid a catastrophe, it will be a blessing for the people!
Xiao Yi raised his thin lips: "Even if Shen Jiang knows the news of the army's arrival in Beijing now, so what? She can't change the situation of being besieged on all sides, Nan Jiaojiao, we have actually won."
Nan Baoyi stared at him.
The man in front of him was calm and reserved, dignified and lonely.
She stood on tiptoes, hugged his neck, and kissed the corners of his lips: "My second brother is confident, but I want stability. If I don't win the power, I will have to be careful every day."
Candlelight flickers.
The little girl's face is fair and tender, and Danfeng's eyes are full of seriousness.
Xiao Yi couldn't bear to bully her, so he had to temporarily let go of the idea of having fun with her all night long, holding her little hand and sitting next to the smoke cage.
Nan Baoyi saw a jar of wine placed beside the fumigation cage. Thinking that drinking wine at night would help him warm up, he opened the mud seal and poured wine for Xiao Yi: "What will the second brother do after the success is achieved?"
Xiao Yi: "Marry you."
Nan Baoyi immediately raised his red and phoenix eyes.
She handed the wine cup to Xiao Yi: "Others are busy rebuilding the country, but you are busy asking for girls to marry... In the future, future generations will definitely laugh at you when they see the records in the history books."
Xiao Yi didn't care.
He took a sip of the wine and raised his eyebrows: "Where did you get the wine?"
"Brother Jiang put it in the room before. Just drink it without worry. I will bring two jars of good ones from the wine cellar and return them to him in the future."
"The wine is mellow and fragrant. He always has something good." Xiao Yi commented and handed the wine cup to Nan Baoyi, "You should try it too."
Nan Baoyi took it and was about to drink it, but suddenly paused.
Brother Jiang told her not to drink alcohol during pregnancy...
Xiao Yi: "What's wrong?"
Nan Baoyi slowly put down the wine cup and leaned on his shoulder: "Second brother, I have never been a good drinker. I'm afraid that drinking will cause trouble, so it's better not to drink."
She quietly observed Xiao Yi's expression and felt relieved when she saw that he was not suspicious.
She touched her belly and couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought about carrying a little baby here. She always liked to share secrets with her second brother, but she had kept this shocking secret secret for so long!
She tried hard to smile,
Lying on Xiao Yi's shoulder, he whispered: "After everything is done, I have a surprise to tell you."
As soon as she got closer, Xiao Yi smelled the faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers.
He lowered his eyes and saw that Nan Jiaojiao was now a powerful figure in the court, but in private she always had a childlike attitude, like a little girl who had not grown up.
He was soft-hearted and pitiful, kissed her cheek and whispered his greeting.
The winter nights are long.
Nan Baoyi had nothing to do, so he tugged Xiao Yi's ears playfully, and said casually: "After seizing power, will the second brother force the emperor to abdicate and become the supreme emperor, and then let A Ruo ascend the throne as emperor? A Ruo is only four years old, If he takes that position so early, even with your help, I'm worried that he will be taken advantage of by the imperial family."
Xiao Yi was silent.
My father had delegated power for twenty years. He was worthy of Shen Jiang, but not worthy of the royal family.
He is unworthy of being emperor.
But Ah Ruan is really young...
Xiao Yi took Nan Baoyi's little hand and slowly intertwined his fingers with hers.
He lowered his eyes and seemed hesitant, but he already had other thoughts in his mind.
…
After the first snowfall, the city of Chang'an was covered in silver.
Today is the day to go to Jinque Terrace to worship heaven, and it is also the day when Shen Jiang officially proclaims himself emperor.
It was still early in the morning, and the entire palace was busy preparing incense candles, incense seals, nine tripods, ceremonial fans and other items used for the sacrifice.
In Kunning Palace, twenty-two palace ladies knelt in a row holding trays in their hands.
The tray contained the clothes and crowns needed to become emperor.
Nan Baoyi's hair is combed into a high bun, her makeup is exquisite and charming, and she is wearing a spacious and graceful official robe with cinnabar and red crane patterns. She inspects these clothes personally.
The imperial crown with twelve dangling white beads, the Tianhe belt on both sides of the crown, the white gauze curved collar in the middle, the large belt with sash, the crown robe embroidered with twelve chapters, the knees covered with red ruffles, and the Ruyi red harness...
After confirming that everything was fine, she said crisply: "Today's sacrifice to heaven is related to the country and the country. These things must be kept carefully. If anything goes wrong, it is a small matter to be punished, but a big matter to lose your head! Have you remembered them all?!"
The palace maids all respectfully said, "I remember this."
The time of departure is approaching.
Nan Baoyi hurried to the bedroom, only to see Empress Shen still wearing a thin middle coat, with long crow-green hair uncombed, and no makeup on her face. She was sitting calmly on the phoenix couch, carefully playing with the white fox mask.
She was startled: "Empress?"
Shen Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the mask, and said in a light voice: "Nan Qing, today is a day of great joy for me. But why am I not happy at all in my heart?"
Nan Baoyi was silent.
In order to proclaim herself emperor, Queen Shen killed Zhen Guogong, his wife and several children.
If being emperor is such a joy, why do the emperors throughout the ages like to call themselves widowers?
The so-called emperor may appear to be a man of great beauty, but in fact he is just a lonely man living in a high place.
Nan Baoyi stepped forward slowly.
She personally took the palace dress and served Empress Shen to change: "From the moment the divine stone was arranged, the empress and the ministers took that step, and there was no turning back... The empress often said in the past, the court and the harem , the most taboo thing is to act indecisively. So, Madam, now we don’t dare to look back, we can’t look back.”
"Don't dare to look back, can't look back..."
As Shen Jiang tasted these words, memories and emotions flashed through Feng's eyes.
She slowly closed her eyes and showed a smile that didn't look like a smile: "Yes, you can't look back, and you can't look back..."
After makeup is done, it's time to set off.
It was obviously early morning, but the weather was not sunny.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the cold wind blowing in the face was biting. It seemed that there must be a storm and heavy snowfall.
Before getting on the sedan chair, Shen Jiang looked at the sky: "Didn't the Imperial Master say that the sky will be clear and cloudless today?"
Poinsettia respectfully said: "Weak ministers will always make mistakes in their divination, please bear with me."
Shen Jiang sneered coldly and did not argue with him.
She held Nan Baoyi's hand and was about to step into the sedan chair when she suddenly looked in the distance in the direction of Qianhe Palace.
She asked: "Where is Xiao Yu?"
Poinsettia: "Reporting to your Majesty, it snowed last night and it was freezing cold. Your Majesty was weak, so he fell ill. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Jinque Terrace for the sacrifice today."
