Chapter 72 A night of clear frost is sleepless

In the early morning of winter, the bloody morning glow spreads over the towering palace walls, and the withered flowers and plants are covered with a layer of snow-like white frost

The hustle and bustle of the previous night has gone away, and the palace has returned to its usual tranquility and solemnity. If it weren't for the crimson blood stains left on the floor tiles, it almost made people think that the upside-down changes last night were just a dream of Nan Ke.

Under the long stone steps at the entrance of the East Palace, Yuwen Zhentao, dressed in military uniform, stood quietly. His face and armor were covered with blood and dust from fighting. The white frost touched his hair and beard and clothes, making him look a little embarrassed, but he seemed to be unaware of it. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his blood-covered tiger eyes stared at the gate of the East Palace firmly.

After experiencing countless baptisms of war, he has already learned to live and die in disguise and develop a heart of iron, but at this moment his heart is filled with lingering pain.

Watching the emperor's brother carry her into the East Palace, but he can't come out for a long time. As a man, how could Yuwen Zhentao not understand what would happen inside

Ling'er...Yuwen Zhentao's heartache was as painful as he could not help but clench his fists

Yuwen Qinglan walked out of the East Palace with a light footsteps with a spring breeze. What she saw was the figure of his sixth brother, who was known for his iron and coldness. He was slightly stunned, and his heart couldn't help but sink, but the strange expression on his face flew in a flash, and he instantly returned to calm and calm wind.

Sixth brother, it's so early... Yuwen Qinglan smiled and said hello more than early. Look at him like that, he just didn't close his eyes all night.

The emperor brother Yuwen Zhentao knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully

How many times have you told you that when there are no outsiders, you and my brother don't have to be so distant

Having said that, the etiquette between the king and the minister cannot be abolished. Yuwen Zhentao stubbornly insisted on the Tao

Yuwen Qinglan had to bend down and help him up. Her slender fingers slid across the red blood stains stained on his armor last night. The southern gate of the imperial palace was stationed by elite Yuanwei Imperial Army. Yuwen Zhentao must have experienced a great battle after breaking through there.

Sixth brother, thank you for your hard work! It is a great blessing for me to have a brave and resourceful tiger general like you. Yuwen Qinglan patted Yuwen Zhentao's shoulder vigorously and moved. Do you remember what I said? If I can successfully conquer Luoyang, I will help you realize your greatest wish.

Yuwen Zhentao was shocked and suddenly raised his eyes. Seeing Yuwen Qinglan's expression serious and serious expression, the words he made were a promise, so if he proposed...

Before Yuwen Zhentao could answer, Yuwen Qinglan smiled slightly and continued: But even if you don’t say it, I can probably guess what my sixth brother wants...

Can the emperor's brother guess his wish? Could it be... Yuwen Zhentao's heartbeats faster, he opened his eyes wide and looked directly at the emperor's face with hope

Yuwen Qinglan looked at him deeply and said slowly: Isn’t the biggest regret in my life that my sixth brother passed away unjustly for your mother, Concubine Wan? Before I went to war, I issued an edict to rehabilitate her, posthumously named Concubine Wan, moved to the imperial tomb with the ritual of Concubine, and buried with the former emperor. In this way, your mother should be able to rest in peace underground, right?

I... Yuwen Zhentao opened his mouth in surprise. His mother was just a palace maid with a low status. Although she was lucky enough to be favored overnight and gave birth to a prince, she was not favored. She was only named a concubine. Later, she was persecuted and died unjustly. Her mother's death has always been the deepest pain in his heart. A prince like him who lost his mother since childhood and was not valued. If it weren't for his elder brother Yuwen Qinglan who had been taking care of her, in that cannibal palace, she would have died long ago without a burial place. Now Yuwen Qinglan has silently rehabilitated his mother, and moved to the imperial tomb to bury her with the late emperor, and shared the fireworks of the ancestral temple. How could he not touch him?

I was so heartbroken that the emperor's brother's kindness to my ministers and it was hard to repay! Yuwen Zhentao knelt down again, choking and thanking him for his gratitude

Yuwen Qinglan is a king who has the grace of knowing and a loving and majestic brother. Every time he bows to Yuwen Qinglan, he is loyal and fanatical worship from the bottom of his heart. In order to help him achieve the hegemony of unifying the world, he is willing to endure humiliation and undercover for ten years. As long as it is his order, he will never refuse even if he goes to the mountain of swords and falls into the sea of ​​fire.

But, Ling'er...What should Ling'er do? He originally wanted to rely on his military achievements to beg the emperor to promise Yu Ling to him, but at this juncture, how could he speak?

The two brothers have a deep relationship since childhood. Yuwen Qinglan saw through his younger brother's thoughts at a glance and said earnestly: Sixth brother, why should a man have no wife? With a person like you, I don't know how many famous ladies in Beijing will love you. I will find a good marriage for you in the future.

Yuwen Zhentao could not hide his disappointment in his eyes. He sighed and lowered his head in depressed voice. He understood in his heart that the emperor's attitude was obviously just a polite rejection of his request. Since the emperor has favored her, he should treat her well. Besides, he turned against her and destroyed her country. I am afraid that she has broken her heart. How can he have the face to see her again?

In the winter of the tenth year of Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu Yuwen Qinglan personally led his army to conquer the capital of Wei Luoyang, and the Yuan Wei was destroyed.

When the city was broken, Emperor Jing of Wei, who was determined to seek immortality and asked for the truth, was both jealous and hurriedly swallowed the life-protecting golden elixir, but was choked to death by the pill, which was said to be a laughing moment

Fortunately, Prince Yuan Shao of Wei was rescued by the strangers in the world and fled from Luoyang. He gathered remaining troops along the way to resist the Yàn army. However, he was outnumbered and was chased by the Yàn army. He fled south in a hurry. He was eventually forced to cross the Yangtze River and seize natural dangers.
