011 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Strange Road

The blue sky is clear and the light is dazzling.

Yan Zhaozhao was lying on her side on the bed, her brain was cloudy and her thoughts were slightly confused. She opened her eyelids a little weakly. When she saw the familiar top of the bed, she was stunned for a moment, then she opened her mouth slightly and shouted “Bi Luo…” As soon as the words came out, she found that her voice was hoarse and her throat was burning.

Bi Luo, who had been waiting outside, heard her mother-in-law’s voice and hurriedly opened the door to the inner room, walked to the bed, helped Yan Zhaozhao up, and poured her a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

Yan Zhaozhao felt that her whole body was so weak that it took a lot of effort to even sit up.After drinking some tea and waking up a little, the absurd scenes of last night suddenly flashed back in her mind. She slightly curled her lips, and then a wave of doubt arose.”Last night…”

Upon hearing this, Bi Luo’s face changed slightly, she bit her lower lip, and then suddenly knelt down beside the bed.”The regent called the slave in last night and asked the slave to fetch some water. After the regent took the water, he asked the slave to come back first and remove all the maids and eunuchs who were working in the dormitory. After that, the regent brought you back.”

There was a trace of timidity in her eyes, and she raised her eyes slightly as if she wanted to ask something, but she didn’t know if she should or could ask.

Yan Zhaozhao sighed lightly, “You are someone close to me. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask.”

When Bi Luo heard this, she immediately asked the biggest doubt on her mind. She lowered her voice very softly, as if she was worried that the wall had ears.”Your Majesty and the Prince Regent last night…yes, whether…” She opened her mouth to speak the last few words but could not say them.

“Yes.” How could Yan Zhaozhao not know what she was going to ask? She didn’t reject Bi Luo last night, but asked her to stay near the courtyard, so she never thought of hiding it from her. Even though the direction of things was quite different from what she thought, the person she trusted most in the palace was still Bi Luo, and she also believed that Bi Luo would not betray her.”I and the regent did something inappropriate in the courtyard last night.”

Bi Luo’s legs went weak and she collapsed beside the couch, her eyes dull.Although she already had a vague suspicion in her mind, when her mother-in-law admitted it herself, she felt a shiver down her spine and became frightened.”Your Majesty…” Her eyes were filled with water and her voice was choked with sobs.”You…you are confused.”

She is not afraid of death, her life was originally saved by Yan Zhaozhao.She just felt sorry for the empress. Once the incident came to light, the emperor and the queen mother, who had always been good-looking, would not let Yan Zhaozhao go, and she would die early.

“That’s the only hope right now.” Yan Zhaozhao helped her up, patted the back of her hand, and whispered, “Bi Luo, I have no regrets.”

Although Bi Luo is pure and kind, she is not the stupid person who has always been with Yan Zhaozhao.How could she not know what the empress meant? The Dongchuang incident would mean death, and the marriage would also mean death. Yan Zhaozhao would be at risk of death no matter which path he chose.But compared to the emperor who was having sex all day long, the regent was more reliable. At least he himself would not reveal the matter.

She compiled and bowed solemnly to Yan Zhaozhao.”Please rest assured, my queen, I will definitely guard this matter and protect you.”

Yan Zhaozhao chuckled, her eyes a little warmer.”I certainly believe you.”

After lunch, Yan Zhaozhao returned to the inner bedroom to catch up on some sleep.When I woke up again, it was too late.Bi Luo hurried to her side with a happy face, and her tone could not hide the joy.”Mother, great news! The enemy country has withdrawn its troops and left our court. You don’t need to go to make peace anymore!”

Although she had expected it, when she heard the news, she still couldn’t help but raise her lips and breathed a sigh of relief. The sharp blade that had been hanging on her head was finally removed.”How could it be so fast?” She thought that the enemy would have to wait at least a few days to ask the emperor for some conditions or gold, silver and jewelry before they would give up.

“It’s the regent!” Bi Luo’s expression brightened even more, with a hint of admiration for that man in her eyes.”The servants heard that the regent personally visited the general who led the army, and wondered what the regent had promised them. In just a quarter of an hour, the regent led his people back to the palace, and soon they retreated!”

Yan Zhaozhao knew that Xie Ciyan was very capable, but she didn’t expect that he was so powerful.The enemy country sent a brave and skilled general, and it was because of fear of that general that everyone in the court wanted to send the regent to kill the enemy. However, they never expected that Xie Ciyan could repel the enemy army without spending a single soldier, or even sending her to marry him.

It is really humiliating for such a person to be subordinate to the emperor.

“That’s not all, your Majesty.” She leaned forward slightly and whispered in Yan Zhaozhao’s ear: “Just now, the Queen Mother also sent some treasures to your Majesty. She also said that she just pretended that she had never heard of what she said last time.”

Bi Luo’s brows were filled with joy, “Congratulations, empress!”

Yan Zhaozhao was happy when she heard this, and finally smiled sincerely, exhaling the turbid air that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

At the same time, she also felt lucky.She knew that she could rely on Xie Ciyan to stay safe and sound. If it weren’t for him, at this time today, she might have already embarked on the road to death, ending this life, dying unwillingly, and finally becoming a ghost of injustice.

But she and him were not on the same page after all.He was the regent of the previous dynasty, and she was the master of the harem. If it hadn’t been for this matter, she didn’t think they would have had any intersection in their lives.Now that all crises have been resolved, the two of them can only return to their respective positions and have nothing to do with each other from now on. Even if they meet briefly at the palace banquet, there is only a ceremonial toast and nothing else.

She and Xie Ciyan said goodbye last night and became strangers.

What a pity.
