    Chapter Index

    After leaving the thatched hut, Xie Ciyan remained silent. Although his face did not show it, Yan Zhaozhao could inexplicably feel his inner emotions.

    She heard clearly what Eunuch Lu said just now, and she still can’t calm down in her heart, let alone thank you.After going around and around, it turned out that his father, emperor, mother and concubine all died at the hands of the Queen Mother, and the source of all this was just to let the mediocre legitimate son ascend the throne as emperor.

    How ridiculous!

    Did the Queen Mother really only ascend to the throne so that her legitimate son could ascend to the throne?

    No!

    What she wants is always the huge power to control the government!Once a son who is not his legitimate son ascends the throne, her status will be threatened.If someone else had ascended the throne, she would have been named the Queen Mother according to the ancestral system, but she would no longer be the only Queen Mother. The Emperor was not her biological son, so her title of Queen Mother would not be worthy of her name, and she would only be overshadowed by the Emperor’s biological mother.

    Therefore, she would not hesitate to kill the emperor and murder the imperial concubine.She ignored and sacrificed these innocent people, and stepped on the corpses of countless people to ascend to the throne she dreamed of.But when she dreamed about it at midnight, she was afraid that the people she had killed would come back to demand their lives. The person who had least faith in gods and Buddhas in the past actually knelt down under the Buddha’s seat with all his sins on his back.

    Yan Zhaozhao looked at the somewhat lonely back of the man in front of her, and felt a little bit of sadness in her heart. Her body movements were faster than her brain, and she suddenly went forward and hugged Xie Ciyan from behind. A pair of white and slender hands were intertwined in front of his abdomen, and her voice was a little muffled, “If you are unhappy, just say it.”

    He is silent now, and Yan Zhaozhao doesn’t know what he is thinking in his heart for a moment. Instead of brooding alone, it is better to talk to her. It is better to have someone by his side who can talk to him than to keep it in his heart alone.

    Xie Ciyan’s eyebrows softened instantly, and he patted the back of her hand lightly.Suddenly turning around, holding the woman tightly in his arms, he murmured, “Fortunately.” Yan Zhaozhao was a little confused about the two words he suddenly said, but before she could ask, Xie Ciyan continued: “Fortunately, you are still here.”

    He has lost too many people since he was a child, so he never dared to give his sincerity to anyone, for fear that after giving his sincerity, this sincerity would become a talisman to the other person’s death.He was used to loneliness and being alone, but the moment Yan Zhaozhao appeared, he seemed to feel that he was really lonely, and it would be fine if she was by his side.

    “Don’t worry Zhaozhao, I’m fine.” He gently stroked her hair and said in a sweet voice, “Someone will pick us up and leave shortly.”

    “Who?” She just felt that Xie Ciyan was really powerful. It seemed that in a short period of time, he had arranged everything properly. Such a person should sit on the dragon throne and rule the world, instead of being feared and suppressed like now.

    “General Huo stationed at the border of the hunting forest.”

    As soon as Xie Ciyan finished speaking, Yan Zhaozhao’s body suddenly trembled, and she suddenly raised her head from his arms and looked into his eyes.”What did you say?” No wonder she was so shocked. Huo Suinai, the general stationed at the border of the forest, was a good friend of the emperor when he was young. He had always been loyal to the emperor, and the two were like close friends.With such a relationship, how could Huo Sui come here to pick them up?”Are you talking about General Huo Suihuo?”

    Seeing her shocked look, Xie Ciyan felt that she was so cute, but he couldn’t bear to tease her anymore, so he explained: “It’s that General Huo, he is mine.”

    Yan Zhaozhao’s pupils shrank. Previously, she had only known from the rumors among the Queen Mother and the courtiers that the Regent Xie Ciyan had real power. However, no one knew the extent of this real power, and no one could investigate further.All the mysteries that had been unknown were cleared away at this moment.

    Who would have thought that the emperor’s best friend since his youth would be one of Xie Ciyan’s men, and that the man in front of him would be so capable of turning Huo Suice into his.

    Although Yan Zhaozhao didn’t ask, curiosity was already written on her face. Xie Ciyan chuckled and had no intention of hiding anything from her.”A few years ago, Huo Sui also led troops to go on a campaign. He accidentally fell into the enemy’s trap and fell into the hands of the enemy general leader. He immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that if he wanted to let Huo Sui go, he would give him a city in exchange. This was undoubtedly a big deal. Huo Sui also planned to die to end the man’s delusion, but how could he easily do so?”

    Xie Ciyan’s eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips were slightly mocking, but also seemed to be contempt.”It is precisely because of this that Huo Sui waited for the letter that let him see the emperor’s letter clearly. In the letter, the emperor first rebuked Huo Sui for being stupid and unworthy of being his general. He also clearly told the enemy leader that he would never exchange Huo Sui for anything.”If you want to kill or behead him, it’s up to you.”He paused for a moment and then continued: “In the end, someone sent me a message to rescue him. I went. Huo Sui was naturally disheartened by what the emperor had done. There was no need to incite rebellion. He had lost the support of the people.”

    Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but lament the emperor’s ruthlessness again. Huo Sui had protected his life many times, but once he was in trouble and ended up being abandoned, how could he not complain.

    “Now that my injury is well, you can’t stay out for too long for fear of being criticized. I have arranged for Huo Sui to come over. After he comes, he will take you back to the palace. It is the safest way for Huo Sui to take you.” This is the way to return to the palace that Xie Ciyan had thought of early in the morning. Huo Sui was originally a general guarding the border of the forest. He rescued Yan Zhaozhao who fell off the cliff and survived the disaster. This is the most credible way.And because of what happened that year, the emperor still felt a little guilty towards Huo Sui. Even if he wanted to accuse Yan Zhaozhao of losing his innocence after living outside for many days, he could not throw dirty water on Huo Sui.As long as Huo Sui confirmed that Yan Zhaozhao had been recuperating in the military camp, no one could accuse her of losing her virginity.

    “What about you?” Yan Zhaozhao saw that he had thought about his retreat very carefully, but he didn’t seem to think about what he should do. He suddenly disappeared into the hunting woods. Without any explanation, it was disobeying the holy order and also a serious crime.

    “Zhaozhao, don’t worry about me, just go back.” He leaned down and looked level with her.She saw that Xie Ciyan’s eyes had a hint of determination that he was determined to win, and it disappeared fleetingly.”After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhao will call me regent as usual. Don’t come to Jinyuan privately to look for me again. Just pretend that you don’t know me, okay?”

    Xie Ciyan’s voice was extremely soft, but the words he spoke were like long thin needles that kept pricking her heart.She was not a stupid person, and she knew that his behavior was just because he did not want to implicate her. If something unexpected happened in the future, at least she would still be the queen and would not have to have anything to do with him.

    But…

    If there was no Xie Ciyan in the world, what would she, Yan Zhaozhao, do with the position of queen?

    If he is no longer in this world, what is the point of her attachment to this mortal world?

    The joys and sorrows in this world are all due to the people who care about you.
