Muhou (??): mother-empress . All children of the emperor has a di mother, the empress, who they refer to as muhou and for those born of concubines, who is their shu mother, they will call them mufei . “Huang’er” — Huang: emperor, Er: term of endearment . It was the endearment term when the mother of emperor calling his son . “Bengong” — I, used by the females of the imperial family “Qinwang” — first-rank prince; also called wangye, i . e . “His [Your] Royal Highness”
Qin Yu was riding a dark horse, as he stood below the city wall of Bian Capital City .
He had a little beard stubble around his lips, and he had very large dark circles under the rim of his eyes, which made his whole person appear very depressed . However, his eyes were unusually bright, and looked very energetic .
After more than ten days and ten nights of nonstop hurrying, Qin Yu finally arrived in the front of Bian Capital City with the group of soldiers he was leading . After he saw the tightly closed of Bian Capital City’s gates, Qin Yu’s originally very impatient mood, unconsciously calmed down .
His gaze became colder as he looked at the direction of the imperial Palace in the center of Bian Capital City . His hands that holding the reins could not help but tighten up .
After he dispatched the spies inside Bian Capital City, to know the news of Li Luo inside the palace, there is no news was received from the spies that he sent, maybe they have been found out and killed by Jing Chun Empress Dowager and Qin Yan .
Even though he wasn’t sure of how the situation of Li Luo was at this moment, but Qin Yu has the intuition that Li Luo is certainly not in life-threatening situation now .
Bian Capital City, inside the imperial palace .
Qin Yan’s eyes bloodshot, as he paced around inside the huge palace fidgety, his footsteps appeared somewhat messy .
“Muhou, now Qin Yu has finally arrived outside the city, but Su Mucheng’s currently not in our hands, what we should do now? Do we have to give up and waiting to be captured by Qin Yu, that little bastard?”
Jing Chun Empress Dowager who was sitting on the side of the dragon chair, that originally liked to adorn herself carefully, at this moment she too didn’t mind to completely dressed up in very plain and simple manners, her pale white face appeared weary as if aged a few years old .
She rubbed her forehead a few times, before her pupils burst out a beams of bright light as she say, “Huang’er, Bengong thought Qin Yu was still unaware that Su Mucheng already wasn’t in our hands . Moreover, he too did not return to Qin Yu’s side . ”
Qin Yan’s footsteps halted, he turned around and looked at Jing Chun Empress Dowager direction, with a trace of doubt on his face, he said, “Muhou, you mean-”
“It was just like you thought as I want to let Qin Yu still think that Li Luo was still in our hands . Make him afraid of the consequences, not daring to touch us . ”
This was a dangerous movement, they could only take a gamble, betting that Qin Yu would care very much about Li Luo .
The sun that hanging in the sky already risen in the midpoint . At this time of day was the moment where the sun was shone down it most piercing sunlight .
In Bian Capital City, above the tall city walls, there appeared a beauty wearing a gorgeous palace dress . She was standing above the city wall, as she locked her gaze with the distant Qin Yu who riding a horse below the city wall .
At the moment she saw Qin Yu, Jing Chun Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed a trace of hatred and disgust . Qin Yu’s appearance and Empress Nangong during that time were three-quarters similar . So when she saw him, she could not help but remember that woman was the one that had all of the attention of the previous emperor .
Qin Yu slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Jing Chun Empress Dowager above the city walls . Due to the glaring sunlight, it made it so he could not see the expression on her face clearly, but he still able to sense a trace of disgusted feelings that the woman who standing above had for him .
“Qin Yu . ” The woman in the gorgeous palace dress said as she lowered her head slightly and looked at Qin Yu, her tone is very harsh, “You acting this way is truly disgraceful . To have the intention to overthrow the reign of the emperor, are you not afraid you would become a shame on the ancestors’ hundred years of teaching?”
Qin Yu could not help but let out “Ha” a loud laugh . His eyes contained a ridiculous sneer as he gazed at the woman, and did not reply to her even a word .
When Jing Chun Empress Dowager saw Qin Yu didn’t answer and still did not have any changes of color on his face after she scolded him, Jing Chun Empress Dowager continued to say Qin Yu was still young, so that was why he took a wrong step in life . She then advised Qin Yu he still had a chance to correct it, and promised Qin Yu as long as he retreated, she would make the emperor give him a qinwang title .
Qin Yu didn’t have the patience to continuously listen to her, so directly interrupted Jing Chun Empress Dowager’s words, and said, “As long as you release Su Mucheng, I will let you and your son leave this place alive . ”
Jing Chun Empress Dowager did not feel embarrassed when her words were being interrupted by Qin Yu, she combed the hair on her temples and said, “Su Mucheng is naturally in our hands, his safety all depends on your choice . ” After she finished speaking, Jing Chun Empress Dowager smiled as she gazed at Qin Yu direction, and seemed to be very confident that Qin Yu would certainly agree to her conditions .
Qin Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed, he gazed fixedly at Jing Chun Empress Dowager for a long time . Then, a cold glint seemed to flash in his eyes . Qin Yu slightly pursed his lips, the next moment, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face as he said, “Mucheng, he currently isn’t in your hands, right?”
Even though Jing Chun Empress Dowager’s complexion was unchanged, there was a flash of panic in her eyes, but very soon she covered it up . She hid her mouth as she lightly laughed, “Haha, not with us here, could it be that he is on your side?”
Qin Yu smile grew wider, he become even more certain that what he guessed was right . The huge boulder in his heart was completely put down at that moment . The depressed look on his face immediately swept clean as he became active to enter the battlefield . Since Mucheng was no longer in the hands of this pair of mother and child, he no longer needed to scruple anymore .
No longer wanting to hear Jing Chun Empress Dowager’s nonsense, Qin Yu pulled the reins of his horse, making the horse’s head turn around . He faced the army behind him .
For the siege of Bian Capital City, from this moment, it officially started .
......
Li Luo really wanted to cry but had no tears as he rode a mule, and continuously rushed over .
Ten days ago, he finally arrived in Su Shui City, but he found out that Qin Yu and his whole army already had set off a long time ago . Previously, when he traveled to this place he didn’t meet with Qin Yu’s marching army, so he didn’t encounter Qin Yu . At this moment, he had no other choice but to turn around and once again head toward Bian Capital City . He only hoped Qin Yu wouldn’t be fooled by those two villains, thinking that he still had not escaped, and suffered from their suppression .
If nothing went wrong, it was estimated that when he would arrive, the war would almost come to an end, or would be already over .
Just as he guessed, when Li Luo rushed over on his journey, Qin Yu finally killed two of the just recently injured enemy soldiers, and once again fought one on one with Qi Cheng .
After that, Xiang Bei Army which had been converged with Xiang Nan Army, made the amount of troops double its size . Hence, it only took a week to completely defeat the 100,000 troops under Qin Yan . Then they immediately smashed the city gate of Bian Capital City, as they advanced in a majestic moment into the city, before surrounding the imperial palace .
Jing Chun Empress Dowager and Qin Yan, just like Li Luo wrote in the novel, couldn’t escape successfully from the imperial palace . They had felt hopeless, but they were unwilling to be captured and tortured by Qin Yu, so the both of them drunk poisoned wine and died inside the throne room . Before that, they ordered people to set fire at the imperial palace . Even if they were dead, they were still unwilling to let Qin Yu to ascend the throne easily .
Fortunately, Xiang Bei Army and Xiang Nan Army were able to timely put out the fire, so the fire that spread intensely a moment ago was successfully put under control . The large fire that filled the sky eventually only burned down several palaces . However, Jing Chun Empress Dowager and Qin Yan who died inside the throne room hall were burned completely beyond recognition .
Therefore, Ascension Ceremony of the new emperor can only be a slightly delayed until the throne room was repaired .
Even so, Qin Yu was already the highest ruler of the Qin Country .
However, even though the young emperor had already become the ruler of the Qin Country, he didn’t flush with happiness as others had thought, but rather he was slightly depressed .
He didn’t not know where the person he always had thought about in his heart was now . Although he couldn’t be certain that he was safe, but to have not seen him for so long, the yearning feeling for his beloved had long been emerged into a vast sea, almost about to drown him out .
Li Luo had rushed over nonstop to catch up, and after one month, he finally arrived at the Bian Capital City . At this time, Bian Capital City long had huge changes in appearance . Stationed on the entrance of city gate was the soldiers who were wearing the attire of Xiang Bei Army and Xiang Nan Army . Each and every one of them were standing straight, as they gazed sharply straight in the front, and seemed to be particularly filled with vigor .
Li Luo was riding a white mule as he advanced toward Bian Capital City . Because those soldiers didn’t recognize him, they only regarded him as an ordinary person that wanted to enter the city .
Li Luo didn’t stop, riding a white mule, he trotted all the way to the outside the entrance of the imperial palace .
The soldiers that were stationed outside the imperial palace immediately blocked his way . One of them was a small officer that felt Li Luo looked somewhat familiar . He could not help but glance at Li Luo a few more times, then his face showed a pleasantly surprised expression, “Deputy Chief Su, is it you?”
Li Luo smiled at the small officer, as he nodded his head and said: “Yes, it’s me, I’ve come back . Yu...I mean the current Emperor, where is he now?”
The small officer motioned for the other soldiers to put down their sword that were pointing at Li Luo, and then said to Li Luo, “You finally came back, com...the Emperor, he was always searching for you . The moment after he captured Bian Capital City, he sent a lot of people to find you . You don’t know how ugly the complexion of the Emperor was after you were taken away . The Emperor’s expression had been very dark, so frightening that the people around him didn’t dare breathe . ”
As Li Luo listened to the small officer’s words, Li Luo could not help but feel ache in his heart . When he heard that Qin Yu in these few months has not slept well even once, Li Luo felt that his heart ached even more as if it was being pricked up ruthlessly . If that day he did not agree to go out with Liu Ruoyan, perhaps such things would not have happened .
The small officer on the side of Li Luo talked continuously, as he lead Li Luo inside the imperial palace, and then directly walked toward the Great Hall where the Emperor and the officials discussed the court matter .
Since Qin Yu had just recently taken over the Qin Country, and previously when it was under the reign of Qin Yan the rules of Qin Country had been eroded and riddled with many holes, so Qin Yu currently had many things waiting to be done . Qin Yu had to summon all his counselors, as well as the available talents, to discuss the new laws of Qin Country . This kind of a very busy life, was able to allow him to temporarily forget the fact that Li Luo was not with him .
At this moment, Qin Yu was sitting on the dragon chair in the Great Hall, as he watched the officials of the court below him argue over the taxes system in full swing .
After he knew that nothing had happened to Li Luo, Qin Yu had gradually began to be able to fall asleep at night, so now those large dark circles that were under the rim of his eyes had disappeared, and a faint point could only be seen on it .
The officials of the court below him argued continuously, which made his head somewhat painful . Just as he was going to speak out to interrupting the noisy below him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his eyes unconsciously turned to the direction of the Great Hall’s doorway .
As his gaze swept past, Qin Yu saw just two figures cast on the door . Although one of the shadows is still somewhat indistinct, but Qin Yu could completely see that he had a very slender body, his shoulders were narrow, and he appeared very delicate .
Qin Yu was immediately startled, he immediately stood up from his seat at the top, looking straight to that direction .
The very enthusiastic officials who were arguing below immediately noticed Qin Yu’s actions . They quickly stopped quarrelling and looked at Qin Yu, and thought this young emperor wanted to express his opinions . However, they only saw the handsome young emperor step down step by step from the dragon chair . Then, almost at a blink of an eye, the emperor came to the front of Great Hall’s door, and he stretched out his hand, his fingers are trembling slightly, very quickly he opened the tightly closed door in an unusually fast speed .
Li Luo was standing two and half steps behind as he was waiting for the small officer to knock on the door . However, he didn’t think that before the small officer was able to knock on the door, the doorway immediately opened in front of them .
After the door opened, Li Luo clearly saw a tall and straight young man . Afterwards, the young man’s eyes immediately burst into ecstasy as he saw him .
Li Luo didn’t have the chance to open his mouth to speak, before he was wrapped firmly in Qin Yu’s embrace, which using the great strength as if he wanted him to be embedded in his body .
It was as if he was his entire world, as long as he held him tightly, he could have the whole world .
