Chapter 184: True Strength
"Hahahaha!" Han Xiu laughed triumphantly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Li simply lowered his head, pretended to lower his eyelids, and only looked at him from the corner of his eye. At this time, Han Xiu was so high-spirited, as if he was full of confidence in himself, and nothing could defeat him.
People who don't know the inside story can't see it at all, he's just a villain who exchanges his wife and children for benefits.
"Aiqing should also feel tired after a long journey, so it is better to go back and rest early. Tomorrow's early dynasty, in front of all the ministers, Aiqing will explain the process of peace negotiations clearly, so that the second prince can leave Beijing on the same day. Han Xiu had a satisfying smile on her face, as if her long-cherished wish for many years had finally come true.
He didn't seem to send his son as a hostage at all, but it was like defeating Chu Yang and making Chu Yang his prisoner, his face was full of joy.
"Obey." Zhang Li knelt again, then walked out backwards with his head down.
Long after he left, Han Xiu clenched his fists excitedly and kept moving around the room.
"Liu Quan! immediately went to the Zhaoyang Palace to announce the decree, saying that the Northern Jin Dynasty had decided to negotiate peace, and asked the queen to prepare for the second prince, and set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning. Han Xiu originally wanted to wait for tomorrow to announce the decree, but he suddenly sprouted a malicious intent and wanted to make Shi Jiao'e suffer more.
Knowing that her son was about to be sent away, what kind of expression would Shi Jiao'e have?
……
Zhaoyang Hall.
The sky had already darkened, and Shi Jiao'e was still by her son's side, constantly talking to herself. Even Han Xin'er stayed with her younger brother, constantly seducing him with various toys, wanting to make her younger brother smile.
For three consecutive days, Han Lang didn't say a word, and he didn't have a single expression.
He was like a rag doll, without the slightest anger on his body, and even his eyes lost their luster.
"Lang'er, you have to understand that although people have feelings, feelings are not immutable. No one can be with you for a lifetime. When you were young, it was your mother who held you every day and took care of you. When you grow up, the one who is by your side becomes your wife. If you grow old, the people who take care of you will become your children again. Even if Liu Suizhu didn't lie to you, she couldn't be with you for a lifetime. You will always grow up one day, and you will always become your own child, and no one will be able to occupy your whole life. ”
Han Lang was still holding his knees, his head was not raised, and he did not say a word.
In his mind, he kept repeating what Liu Suizhu said casually that day - "It's you who are too stupid!" It's yourself who is stupid! Too stupid! ”
This sentence was like a knife, piercing deep into his heart and sobering him up from his beautiful illusion. It's just that the contrast between reality and imagination is too big, so big that he can't accept it at all, so he can only choose to escape.
Mrs. Liu may not be so bad, she should also care about herself...... Right? Was she angry and didn't like her to be too close to the queen, so she said such heartless words?
The queen looks good, but ...... He just doesn't want to be close!
After all, Han Lang is Han Xiu's son, and there is one thing that is very similar to Han Xiu, that is, he is not strong enough.
The biggest disadvantage of a person who is not determined is that he is easily shaken and easily swayed by the environment or human factors. Actually, this is not the first time Han Lang has been shaken. Before, Shi Jiao'e took him to disaster relief, which let him see the true feelings in the disaster, and also made him a little moved. However, that emotion did not last long, and disappeared quietly.
It's the same this time!
Even if Liu Suizhu had admitted it in person, he still didn't want to believe it. It's not because he can't understand, it's not that he can't understand, it's not that his brain is too stupid, it's just that he doesn't want to accept such a result, so he keeps holding illusions.
Perhaps, the mother is just angry, and when she is angry, she will come to see herself?
"Don't be afraid, little wolf, my sister can always be with you! When you were young, your sister would lie down next to your mother to watch you, and when you were older, your sister would take you to play together. Now, my sister can protect you. When you get married in the future, my sister will always be with you and won't let anyone bully you! Han Xin felt that what her mother said was wrong, she could indeed accompany her brother for a lifetime.
She has been with her brother every day since he was born, and she has never been separated for a day. Even if her younger brother gets married in the future, she will live with her younger brother and always take care of and protect her younger brother.
Because, she thinks that the little wolf is too stupid, and it will die stupidly if no one takes care of it!
It's a pity that Han Lang still lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard it, completely indifferent.
……
"The slave is ordered to pass on the emperor's message! Even a mere palace maid dares to stop me?! A noisy sound suddenly sounded outside the door, and then, without waiting for the little palace maid to come in and pass the word, Liu Quan strode in.
"Spread the emperor's edict - the Northern Jin Dynasty has decided to negotiate peace, please ask the queen to prepare for the second prince, and send the second prince out of Beijing early tomorrow morning." Liu Quan didn't salute Shi Jiao'e, but just stood where he was and conveyed Han Xiu's meaning.
His fear of Shi Jiao'e, after experiencing the changes of the past few days, has gradually faded and forgotten, and he actually put up a score in front of Shi Jiao'e.
"Tomorrow out of Beijing? Why is it in such a hurry? Shi Jiao'e's body was stunned, and she looked at Liu Quan eagerly.
She has been trying to find a way to send news out in the past few days, but Han Xiu seems to be iron-hearted, and she actually asked Yu Linwei to surround the inner palace. Even the people who delivered seasonal vegetables to the imperial dining room were not allowed to say a word to the people in the palace. The daily fresh fish and vegetables are also handed over to Yu Lin Wei first, and then Yu Lin Wei is handed over to the imperial dining room.
Under such strict defense, Shi Jiao'e has no chance at all. She can't even contact people outside the palace, let alone contact her brother-in-law and ministers to force the palace, how can she stop Han Xiu?
Shi Jiao'e didn't understand until this time how important true strength was!
What she relied on before was either the manpower cultivated by her father, or Han Xiu's brother-in-law, or the court's civil servants who were closer to the Shi family.
If you really want to count it, she doesn't even have a henchman, nor does she have a little bit of her true strength!
Just like Liu Suizhu, everything depends on Han Xiu, but when one day Han Xiu took back the rights given to her, she immediately turned into a canary and was imprisoned in the cage of the inner palace, breaking her fluttering wings.
"The peace negotiation is related to the thousands of people in Dashun, and the early truce will be able to reduce the casualties of thousands of people, so the emperor said that the second prince will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, and he can't delay it for a day." Liu Quan smiled, waiting to see Shi Jiao'e's reaction.
