095 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” triumphant

“What did you say?!” The emperor’s reaction after hearing this was in disbelief. He turned around suddenly and stared at the chamberlain with a pair of sharp eyes, “Are you sure the news is correct?”

The chamberlain hurriedly knelt down and said, “Back to the emperor, the army has already arrived at the city gate!”

The emperor’s body suddenly stiffened, and his mind was filled with questions.No matter how you look at it, going to Fengguo is a dead end. Fengguo has a strong military force, and there is help from the allied Anguo. How can Xie Ciyan defeat Fengguo and return in triumph?!

It was also at this moment that the emperor clearly realized that Xie Ciyan was already full of wings, and if he was not eliminated now, he would never be able to get rid of him in the future.In addition, after his triumphant return, the courtiers will have more admiration for Xie Ciyan, and will look up to him as the regent in the future. Will he still have a foothold as the emperor of the country?!

The emperor was a little anxious, his brows were furrowed, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yan Zhaozhao, who was still pressed to the ground by the eunuch, and was suddenly enlightened.

The only one who can restrain Xie Ciyan now is Yan Zhaozhao.Regardless of whether the two of them are really having an affair, Xie Ciyan would rather take the risk of going out to take her out of the cold palace to see her. The relationship is not as unfamiliar as it seems on the surface. Now they have arrived at the city gate and will be coming to the palace soon.Time is running out, the emperor must find something that can squeeze Xie Ciyan’s throat before anyone enters the palace gate.

The emperor waved his hand and signaled all the eunuchs to go out.He walked step by step in front of Yan Zhaozhao and tried to reach out to pull her up, but the woman dodged him with disgust on her face.He didn’t care about this with her at this time, and raised a smile on his lips, “Tell me, if Xie Ciyan comes back and sees the person he loves becoming my woman, how will he react?”

Yan Zhaozhao struggled to sit up and moved back calmly, a little further away from the emperor. Her eyes were calm and she said, “What does the emperor mean by this? The abandoned concubine in the cold palace is also the emperor’s concubine.” She didn’t know what the emperor was thinking in his mind, but she would never let him have the opportunity to threaten Xie Ciyan with herself.

“There is no need to pretend in front of me. Even if you two are innocent, just because Xie Ciyan is willing to go to war for you, you, Yan Zhaozhao, are the best chess piece to contain Xie Ciyan.” The emperor sneered, his eyes full of terrifying calculations.”As long as you are in my hands, why worry about Xie Ciyan dare to resist me?!”

He grabbed Yan Zhaozhao who was sitting on the ground and said, “From today on, you are my beloved concubine.” Regardless of Yan Zhaozhao’s struggles, the emperor wanted to take her out of the bedroom.

“The emperor brought me out of the cold palace like this, isn’t he afraid that Concubine Chun will be sad?!” Yan Zhaozhao didn’t want to leave the cold palace, let alone become the emperor’s concubine again, so he had no choice but to carry Yan Zhiyi out.

The emperor paused, as if hesitating for a moment, and then turned around, “How can you be compared with Yu’er? She will become my queen next month, and you are just a concubine.” He walked closer and seemed to smile silently.”You’re just a chess piece to contain Xie Ciyan. How could I touch you?”

He squeezed Yan Zhaozhao’s wrist harder and harder, “If you resist me today, I will order Yan Huai and your aunt to be killed, and all your clan members will be buried with you!”

Yan Zhaozhao struggled to pull his hand back, but the emperor was too strong and did not move at all.”Did the emperor forget? My father was not only the former prime minister, but also the father of Concubine Chun. My people are also the people of Concubine Chun. Can the emperor still kill me?”

Her eyebrows were calm, as if she really didn’t care that Yan Huai and her family would die at the hands of the emperor.As far as Yan Zhaozhao is concerned, the Yan family members are no longer her relatives. She just takes the Yan family’s surname, but she is no longer the Yan family’s daughter.Now, her only concern in this world is Xie Ciyan.

The emperor frowned, as if he just remembered that Yan Zhiyi was her sister, he gave up the idea in an instant.He sneered, “Do you think I can’t do anything to you?” He suddenly came closer and spoke clearly in her ear, “I have set an ambush at the palace gate. As long as you resist, I will immediately order to shoot Xie Ciyan with an arrow.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s heart trembled, “The regent returned victorious for Da Sheng. How could you shoot him innocently?! Isn’t the emperor afraid that the courtiers will be disappointed!”

“I am the emperor.” His voice was cold, and his eyes were even more gloomy and terrifying.”The regent does not need to exist in the Great Dynasty, so why not kill him? Besides, how difficult is it to kill Xie Ciyan in this palace? As long as I give the order, the secret guards will come out in full force. Then I will be the only emperor, who dares to accuse me!”

Since Xie Ciyan returned to the city gate, the emperor knew that Xie Ciyan would be difficult to get rid of.Precisely because it was difficult to get rid of, he had to find Xie Ciyan’s weakness and put it next to him, so that he would not dare to act rashly, and also to buy him time to plan to get rid of it.What he said just now was just because Yan Zhaozhao was too anxious to pay attention to the contradictions in his words.If you care, you will be confused.

Seeing Yan Zhaozhao gradually letting go of her struggle and letting him drag her out of the cold palace, the emperor knew that he had the upper hand in this game.

As the emperor walked, he said to the chamberlain beside him: “It is my decree that the previous death of the Queen Mother was just an accident. The Queen Mother was not poisoned but died of illness. I will take the abandoned concubine Yan Zhaozhao out of the cold palace and designate her as the third-grade concubine Yan.” As soon as he said this, he seemed to have inadvertently glanced at Yan Zhaozhao behind him. There was not even a trace of blood on the woman’s face, and she kept biting her lower lip. She looked really pitiful.

It’s a pity that the emperor has never known how to show mercy to women. Seeing her like this, he only felt a strong sense of joy in his heart, as if he would be happy just to see her and Xie Ci’s pain.”The Regent has returned triumphantly. I will personally host a banquet to welcome him.” He glanced at Yan Zhaozhao and said, “Let the maid wash and dress Concubine Yan well. I will welcome the Regent with her in triumph!”

The eunuch was ordered to bring Yan Zhaozhao, who seemed completely emotionless and like a puppet, into the harem.Since she was no longer a queen and could no longer live in Fengyi Palace, the eunuch had no choice but to find a Weiyang Palace suitable for her status for her to stay temporarily.Immediately, several maids were found from the House of Internal Affairs to bathe and wash Yan Zhaozhao in time for the palace banquet later.

It wasn’t until she was served by a group of maids that she entered the bathtub, and Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes became slightly brighter.She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Even if she was soaked in hot water, she felt cold all over, and a sense of panic crawled down her back.

She was so distraught that she had no idea what the right thing to do was.The emperor was determined to threaten Xie Ciyan with her. The moment he said he would kill Xie Ciyan, she no longer had any reason to speak. She did not dare to take any chances, fearing that the current emperor would really have the confidence to kill him.

Having been trapped in the cold palace for nearly half a year, she was completely unaware of many things going on in the court, and she didn’t dare to bet on the emperor’s current status in the hearts of the courtiers.The moment the hot water poured on her body, she did not feel warm. She was only worried that the emperor would use her as a bargaining chip to make Xie Ciyan do something against her will.

Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes gradually became determined. If the emperor really wanted her to coerce Xie Ciyan to do something unethical, she would rather die than make Xie Ciyan do something embarrassing.

The red sun sets in the west, and the sunset fills the sky.

As soon as Xie Ciyan entered the palace, he wanted to go straight to the cold palace to see the person he had been thinking about for half a year, but he didn’t wait for him to make a move.As soon as he got off his horse, the eunuch who had been waiting on one side hurriedly greeted him, “His Royal Highness the Regent is very happy! The Emperor knows that you are back, and specially ordered his servants to wait here. As soon as the Regent enters the palace gate, he will take you to the Yaochi Palace to celebrate!”

The man frowned, feeling a little weird.In the past, what the emperor disliked the most was his triumphant return. He always felt that his behavior would make all the officials in the court think more highly of him, so every time he returned in triumph, the emperor would be in a bad mood and would not go to court for a few days.Today, people are waiting here to pick him up to celebrate?If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, but he has to use his credit in exchange for his promise to take Yan Zhaozhao out of the cold palace, so he has to go this time.

He was dressed in a black military uniform and looked more solemn than usual.The eunuch led the way, led the people to Yaochi Palace, and then retreated, leaving only Xie Ciyan to carry him inside.

There were only a few maids standing on one side of the palace, and there was no one at the top. The emperor had not yet arrived.Xie Ciyan sat casually at the bottom of the table. He carefully did not touch the sake and side dishes placed on the desk. He only turned his head frequently to look outside the palace, as if hoping that the emperor would arrive soon, so that he could go to the cold palace to take his Zhao Zhao out of that cold place.

After a long while, the eunuch finally shouted loudly from outside the palace, “Your Majesty, Concubine Yan has arrived——”

Xie Ciyan was startled and couldn’t remember when there was a concubine Yan in the palace.Then he didn’t think much about it, just thinking that she was the emperor’s new favorite who had always been romantic. He stood up and was about to salute the emperor who entered the palace, but he saw that the emperor was holding the woman beside him, the woman he had longed for.

His breath suffocated, and he seemed to have forgotten where he was for a moment. Those eyes were completely in disbelief, and his eyes followed her figure.

The emperor led the woman all the way to the top position. She lowered her head as if she did not dare to look at him. She followed the emperor obediently to the dragon chair and sat down side by side with him.

Xie Ciyan clenched his fists tightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

How could it be… Yan Zhaozhao.
