The setting sun is like blood. Princess Yuwen of Henan sat in front of the window and dressed up in front of the mirror. The valuable glass mirror clearly reflected the traces of the years left on her face. The little girl back then was no longer in her youth.

Looking at the wrinkles faintly visible on her face in the mirror, the Henan princess put down her comb and listened to the noise coming from outside, feeling a little distracted.

She is the daughter of Emperor Ming Yuwen Yu, her mother Dugu, and Dugu, the wife of Yang Ni (Yang Jian), and Dugu, the wife of Dugu, the Dugu, was the same father and sister, and her father was Dugu Xin, one of the eight pillar countries.

Most of the powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an have circumferential relationships. If the princess of Henan cling to relatives with civil and military officials in the court, she can cling to many relatives.

The Henan princess, who was born in the royal family, married her distant cousin Yuchi Jing when she grew up, which is a model of marriage between the Yuwen and Yuchi families. Of course, later, a couple of men and women tied the knot, that is, today's Xiyang King Yuwen Wen and Princess Yuchi Chifan.

However, the marriage of the Henan princess has a complicated background.

Yuchi Jing's father, Yuchi Gang, was the nephew of Taizu Yuwen Tai. He was the cousin of Yuwen Yu, the father of Henan princess, and was also cousin with the ruling King Yuwen Hu of Jin.

In such a big family, the Henan princess should have lived a happy life, but in fact it is not.

Her grandfather Dugu Xin was forced to death by his cousin Yuwen Hu. The Dugu family was then exiled to Sichuan and went through hardships. Her mother died of dysfunction. Not long after, her father Yuwen Yu was poisoned to death by Yuwen Hu. Yuchi Gang, as a gangster of Yuwen Hu, was also an accomplice even if he was not the mastermind.

Princess Yuwen of Henan married her distant cousin Yuchi Jing. At that time, she was filled with emotions and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Relatives become enemies, and enemies become relatives. The princess of Henan and husband Yuchi Jing lived a happy life of respect and respect. She thought she could live a peaceful and peaceful life with her husband until she was old, but in the end she was just wishful thinking.

The situation was turbulent. As the result of the marriage between Yuwen and Yuchi, the couple Henan Princess and Yuchi Jing were also unable to stay out of the matter. When the breakup between Yuchi and Yuwen became a fact, Henan Princess did not know how to face Yuchi Jing, and Yuchi Jing did not know how to face his wife.

So the Henan princess sometimes thinks, is it really that good to be born in a wealthy family?

Back then, her aunts married many powerful children, but the current situation made these originally sweet marriages bitter.

One of her aunts, Princess Shunyang, married Yang Zan, the son of Yang Zhong, the former Duke of Sui. When Yang Jian usurped the throne, the couple became more and more troubled;

She also had several aunts, the daughters-in-law of the powerful and wealthy family, namely the Li family, Yu family, Wei family and other powerful families, but in the second year of the elephant, they had to face the cruel fact: their husband's family turned against their parents' family.

Now, this fate has fallen on the Henan princess again, which makes her dilemma, and she only sighs about her fate.

Now, the Yuwen family's army is outside Yecheng and is in a decisive battle with the Yuchi family's army. No matter who wins or loses, it is impossible for the Henan princess to be happy.

But she hopes that the two families will be evenly matched and that by then they will live their own lives, it will be a good result.

However, this is impossible.

The louder and louder the noise from outside became clearer and clearer. It seemed that many people were cheering and celebrating the victory. The Henan princess stood up, walked out of the room and came to the yard, looked at the sunset, and then looked south.

Watching the flames in the south soar into the sky.

At the top of Yenan City, the towering gate towers and arrow towers caught fire.

The maids and servants in the yard couldn't help but turn pale when they saw this because they guessed one possibility and one terrible possibility.

No one dared to speak, but the Henan princess was very calm. She looked at the fire that soared into the sky and did not speak, then turned back to the room.

The footsteps were heard, mixed with the sound of armor leaves hitting. A general covered in blood rushed into the mansion with his entourage and turned directly into the backyard. When he saw the Henan princess sitting in the room, he couldn't help but quickly stepped forward:

"Yu Niang! Why are you still here?"

The Henan princess looked at Yuchi Jing, whose armor was covered with blood stains, smiled and stepped forward to hold the other party's hand: 'I'm waiting for my husband here."

"Where are the children? They are all settled?"

“Set it down.”

"Then you go quickly!! Go to Nishi, you are the princess of Henan, they... cough cough cough!"

Yuchi Jing coughed and spit out some blood. It was not until then that the Henan princess found a few arrows inserted behind her husband, and the blood oozed out of the wound, leaving behind some blood stains behind her.

At this point, the Henan princess saw the result of the war, but she was not happy at all. She looked at Yuchi Jing carefully, as if she wanted to remember the other party's appearance.

Yuchi Jing, seriously injured, broke through the battlefield in one breath and returned to the mansion to see if his wife had hid her with her son as promised. As a result, her son hid her, but the other party did not leave.

At this time, Yuchi Jing also looked at the Henan princess, and wanted to keep the wife's appearance in his heart. He was almost out of reach. His only thought was to make sure that his wife was safe, but...

Yuchi Jing hugged the wife and shouted: "Yu Niang! Why are you doing this!"

The Henan princess with blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth smiled and leaned in her husband's arms, trying to speak, blood was like a spring, and the poison through the intestines was very effective, and she couldn't speak anymore.

The Henan princess agreed with her husband in advance that once the Yuwen army entered the city, she would hide with her son. Now she broke her promise and stayed here, waiting for Yuchi Jing to come back and meet for the last time.

Back then, Zhou State replaced Wei State, and her aunt Yuwen (the eldest daughter of Yuwen Tai), as the empress of the deposed emperor, chose to sacrifice love and died by poisoning. She died young and savagely.

Now, it's her turn.

Yuchi Jing, who had extremely severe lung pain, vomited blood, hugged the wife who also vomited blood, and held back her tears and murmured: "Yu Niang, Yu Niang! If there is a next life, we will be a husband and wife, okay?"

"Um.."

After uttering this word with the last force, the Henan princess did not move anymore. Yuchi Jing held his wife, held back her tears and did not cry, and did not move at all. The blood of the two met.

Except for concern for his son who had been taken to hide by his loyal servant, Yuchi Jing no longer had any concerns. For the sake of his family, he had done his best, but how could he be defeated?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved and said, "Let's set fire..."

"Yes...yes..." The butler waiting outside the door agreed with tears when he saw this scene, then closed the door and signaled the servant to bring the flammable things that had been prepared and piled outside the door.

The shouting outside the mansion was getting louder and louder. It was the Yuwen army entering the city, shouting loudly in the city, "Surrender and not kill."

The fire was rising, reflecting the blood on the ground in the room. Yuchi Jing felt that his consciousness was slowly dissipating. He looked down at the Henan princess in his arms, and remembered the night of his wedding, and murmured with the remaining strength:

"I don't ask for birth on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year..."

......

The Shu Palace was about to enter the palace, but the army was blocked by the sky-storming fire. The entire Shu Palace had turned into a sea of ​​fire. Even if they wanted to put out the fire, they could not save it. They could only stand outside the palace and be at a loss.

In the backyard of the royal palace, more than ten loyal old servants surrounded the fire but did not move at all. After throwing down the torches, they waved their swords and committed suicide one by one. In front of them was the burning attic.

The heat was rising in the attic. The Shu Tai concubine Wang sat on the couch, holding her grandson who was constantly twitching, and covering the other person's mouth with one hand. Although she had a smile on her face, she left a rolling tears. The little grandson "wouwu" wanted to shout "stomach pain", but Wang was unmoved at all.

On the side, Cui, a concubine in Shu, was wearing a plain white, held her son's hand tightly, and tears fell on her cheeks, but she did not cry, without any intention of stopping.

After her son gradually disappeared, she watched Wang wipe the blood from the corner of her son's mouth, looked at her son's appearance seriously, and repeatedly stroked her cheeks reluctantly, then smiled sadly and picked up a bowl of poison from the desk beside her.

There are three bowls of poison in total, one bowl has been given to my son, and next, it is her.

"Mother, daughter-in-law will take the lead."

After saying that, Cui drank the poison of heartbreak.

Not long ago, the retreating guards brought bad news to the royal palace: the army was defeated, and the enemy attacked Yecheng. After learning about the bad news, Cui made up his mind.

Instead of crawling in front of the victor and becoming a humble slave, she would not hesitate to be under her crotch in order to please her master, she might as well take her son and follow her deceased husband Yuchi Dun.

A cramped in his abdomen, Cui Shi trembled in pain and almost shouted out, but she still held back, hugged her son's gradually cold body, and never let go again.

Wang slowly stood up, looked at the increasingly prosperous fire outside the attic, felt the heat wave coming from the window, picked up the last bowl of poison, and sat next to the mother and son who had died.

She had done her best, and her sons and nephews had done her best, but now that things were so hard to turn things around, the young grandson could not escape death alive, and even suffered torture before death, so she would rather do it herself and take her wife and grandson with her grandson.

Thinking of his deceased husband, Yuchi Jiong, Wang smiled and drank the poisonous wine in one go, then said lightly: "Let's light the fire."

The old woman who had been standing beside her responded, then picked up the burning candle and quietly watched the girl who had been with her for decades die.
