Chapter 173 Entering the Palace
Chapter 173 Entering the Palace
She knew that the road ahead was still long and she had to persevere.
An exquisitely decorated carriage, its wheels turning slowly, moved slowly along the road.
Inside the carriage, as the carriage swayed slightly from time to time, Dai Yan, who was sitting inside, felt a wave of fatigue coming over her.
My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In this dream, Dai Yan first saw herself and Ye Qin standing side by side on the bridge under the moonlight. They smiled at each other, and the smile was full of sweetness.
However, the scene changed, and she saw Ye Qin on a fierce battlefield again.
She had never seen that scene, but she still dreamed of it.
Ye Qin brandished his spear and fought bravely. The surrounding area was filled with shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the tragic scene of blood splattering everywhere.
After an unknown amount of time, Dai Yan slowly woke up from her sleep.
Dai Yan touched the corners of her eyes and found tears hanging there.
She rubbed her eyes and found that the carriage had stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.
Dai Yan gently straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes and then got out of the car carefully.
After standing firm, she raised her head and looked firmly in the direction of the Ye family mansion.
At this moment, Dai Yan had only one belief in her heart.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles await her ahead, her determination cannot be shaken.
…………
Shu Wanwan widened her eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: How could it all be like this!
It was far more complicated than she had ever imagined.
She suddenly realized how much she knew, as if she had personally experienced and gone through Dai Yan's entire life journey.
However, deep down she was filled with joy at knowing this.
Perhaps this was Dai Yan's entrustment, which showed Dai Yan's trust in her.
But the truth is far more than that.
"It's really unexpected that there is such a deep connection between you and Ye Linfeng."
Shu Wanwan murmured to herself, with a hint of curiosity in her words.
At this moment, she seemed to slowly begin to understand Dai Yan's unique and deep feelings for Ye Linfeng.
You know, Dai Yan is a mirror spirit that has been baptized by thousands of years. According to common sense, she should not be moved by worldly love.
But Shu Wanwan truly felt the uncontrollable accelerated heartbeat and the ripples surging from deep within her heart every time Dai Yan saw Ye Linfeng.
Perhaps it was because there was some special kind of telepathy between the two of them that Shu Wanwan was able to so clearly perceive every subtle emotional fluctuation of Dai Yan.
Thinking of this, Shu Wanwan couldn't help but feel sorry for Dai Yan.
She knew very well that Dai Yan's life was full of ups and downs and hardships, which really made her feel pity.
Looking at Dai Yan's face which always had a faint smile on it, Shu Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, feeling deeply saddened by her unfortunate fate.
After hearing Shu Wanwan's words, Dai Yan's smile did not change at all, still as gentle and charming.
She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Hmm..." Other than that, there were no further words to express herself.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Yan gently waved her arm, and in an instant, the scene in front of her eyes changed rapidly as if swept by a gust of wind.
…………
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, casting a faint golden glow, and the entire capital of Li State was shrouded in a soft halo.
Dai Yan was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind.
Before her eyes stood a tall palace wall, like an insurmountable barrier.
After entering the palace gate, she followed closely the palace servant leading the way, taking light steps.
Even though the movements were light, there was still a slight but crisp sound when stepping on the bluestone road.
She has a graceful figure, like a dancing fairy.
After walking for a long time, Dai Yan and the palace maids finally approached the majestic and magnificent palace.
This palace is like a shining pearl, inlaid on the earth, shining with dazzling light.
Two huge stone lions stand at the palace gate, majestic and guarding this sacred temple.
But this was not where they were going. After walking around the main hall, the palace servants led the group to the direction of the imperial study.
Walking along the bluestone paved road, you will see pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, which is a breathtaking beauty.
Some pavilions are small and exquisite, like exquisite works of art; some towers are towering into the clouds, majestic and imposing.
In the gardens beside the road, flowers are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.
Various flowers are blooming, emitting bursts of charming fragrance.
As the breeze blew, petals fell like snow, adding a touch of romance and poetry to the entire palace.
Exotic flowers and plants competed for beauty, but at the moment Dai Yan had no intention of appreciating the beauty.
Finally, they arrived before the emperor.
The emperor was sitting upright, concentrating on reviewing a mountain of memorials.
He looked serious, his brows slightly furrowed, and he kept making comments on the memorials with the red pen in his hand.
Dai Yan took a deep breath and knelt down respectfully.
When the emperor heard the noise, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her with a sharp gaze.
Then, he slowly asked, "Are you the youngest daughter of the Yuchi family? Raise your head."
Hearing the voice, Dai Yan raised her head and looked in the direction of the emperor.
That beautiful face was full of determination and indomitable spirit.
Then, she said in a clear voice, "I am General Ye's wife, Yuchi Daiyan."
Hearing the voice, the emperor looked up.
"Oh?"
A soft voice came with a hint of doubt. The emperor leaned forward slightly and stared at the woman kneeling below with interest.
He had long heard various rumors about the young lady of the Ye family.
When the Ye family army returned to the capital in triumph, a woman unexpectedly married into the Ye family.
The person she married was Ye Qin, who had been in a coma.
At this moment, the emperor's gaze fell on the woman, and a scene from three years ago suddenly emerged in his mind.
At that time, Ye Qin returned with great military exploits, but he knelt down and begged him to save a person.
That person actually dared to kill the acting head of the Yuchi family!
If this person had the pure blood of the Yuchi family, the emperor would certainly not agree.
But later on, it was discovered that this man was not only a live-in son-in-law, but also carried an ominous sign and even killed the head of the Yuchi family.
Afterwards, the emperor sent people to investigate carefully, and only then did he find out that the person Ye Qin was trying so hard to protect actually had the blood of the Yuchi family.
At that time, Ye Qin had just captured an enemy spy and successfully defended three important cities.
The emperor thought to himself: Even if the bloodline of the person Ye Qinbao has not yet awakened, who can guarantee that the child she will give birth to in the future will not inherit the bloodline of the saint?
What's more, the Yuchi family has always been dominated by women. After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor finally agreed to Ye Qin's request.
After reminiscing for a moment, the emperor spoke again.
"Yuchi Daiyan."
"Why do you come to see me with the jade pendant?"
"Your Majesty, since you are willing to see me, I believe you will abide by the promise made by the late emperor."
After hearing Dai Yan's words, the emperor laughed twice in contempt.
"Haha, you're quite clever. Are you here to ask for repayment?"
"I dare not." Dai Yan spoke in a calm voice. Although she said she dared not, she had a feeling of neither humble nor arrogant.
"That's really interesting. Tell me what you want me to give you."
"a chance."
The emperor listened quietly, squinting his eyes and looking at the kneeling woman, without much expression on his face.
"Go on."
"I would like to participate in the military commander assessment in a few days."
After Dai Yan finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and looked at the thin and slender woman in front of him.
"Do you have this ability?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept your trial."
The emperor sighed, and finally nodded, agreeing to Dai Yan's request, "If you are willing to ask for trouble, then go ahead and give it a try."
Then he asked, "Just this?"
"If this subject approves, may I take over the command of my husband's soldiers?"
The emperor frowned and seemed to be thinking again.
This girl looks so weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to pass the military commander assessment.
Then the emperor changed his mind and remembered that the woman in front of him had killed Ning Yuanbu.
I feel something is wrong again.
There are not many people left in the Ye family army, only about 3,000 people in total. It is not impossible to take over the Ye family army.
