Chapter 145: Wen Lu
When Jing Yan returned to the palace, it was almost dusk. But I saw a person outside the Kuntai Palace, so anxious that he turned and grinded on the spot.
"Lord Anhe?" Jing Yan was slightly startled.
Yun Sujun didn't go out with the royal car? This means that the little enemy does not even have a competent doctor by his side.
Don't say anything about the presence of a military doctor with the army. Worry-free is a girl! How can those military doctors who are eager to treat people as cattle and horses be reliable?
It's not that Jing Yan cursed Yu Wenrui to be injured, she was originally injured and not well-wounded, and there was no one around her who could be taken care of with confidence, so how could Jing Yan rest assured?
If the little enemy was in front of her at this moment, Jing Yan really wanted to beat her up.
Yun Sujun naturally also saw the Queen Mother, and while she was slightly surprised by the dress of the Queen Mother and her entourage, she did not forget to salute: "I have seen the Queen Mother!" β
The anxious and panicked look on her face had already fallen into Jing Yan's eyes, let me ask if the whole world can make the county lord of Anhe look abnormal? Who else could there be besides the little enemy who was rushing to the border?
"Ahh Ahh Jing Jiayue, who was following behind Yu Wenrui a hundred miles away, sneezed several times on the horse.
She rubbed her nose and looked at Shangyu Wenrui inquiringly. Jing Jiayue grinned at her, Yu Wenrui didn't bother to take care of her, and turned her head expressionlessly.
Sister Rui is in a bad mood? Since the time of the order, he has never smiled......
Jing Jiayue sneered.
It must be that Jun'er misses me...... Otherwise, if you are not sick, how can you sneeze continuously?
Jing Yan thought so, and his heart was filled with sweetness.
"Let's go in and talk." Jing Yan knew that since Yun Sujun came to see him in a hurry, he must have something important about Yu Wenrui. Although he was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but be anxious to know what was going on.
Yun Sujun also has a neat personality, and when she entered the inner room, she didn't say anything, and directly presented the small wooden box that Yu Wenrui handed over to her a few days ago to Jing Yan.
"This is ......" Before the words were asked, Jing Yan was first shocked by the thing in front of him.
You must know that the Heavenly Family has its own rules of the Heavenly Family, and some decorations seem to be gorgeous, but not everyone can use them, such as the Nine Dragons cloud pattern on the box in front of you, which is the shape of the Heavenly Family. What's more, Jing Yan has seen this thing-
Ten years ago, the edict of the first emperor Yu Wenzhe was sealed here. Before that, Yu Wenzhe clearly told sΓΉ that Jing Yan at that time was going to be passed on to Yu Wenrui, but this box was sealed until Yu Wenzhe died, Jing Yan and the Empress Dowager, who was still the Empress Dowager at the time, jointly opened the box, and the "Edict of the First Emperor" was made public.
Now, is this scene going to be staged again?
Jing Yan thought about this, and his heart was clenched. Is it okay to turn around and leave, as if this qiΔ had never happened?
Looking at the wooden box, Jing Yan only felt frightened, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.
"This box was entrusted to the minister by His Majesty a few days ago," Yun Sujun stared at Jing Yan's expression, feeling even more nervous, "His Majesty said at the time, if it is critical, the minister must hand over this box to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to Qi together." β
Jing Yan gasped and stared at the lacquer seal on the wooden box, how to look at it and feel hideous.
Yun Sujun hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't know what is in it, His Majesty wants the minister to accept it, and the trust is so sincere that the minister can't help but be moved...... This morning, I was shocked to hear that His Majesty was in person, and the minister was really ...... It's hard to sit still......"
Yun Sujun's voice revealed unconcealable concern, mixed with uncontrollable choking, "The minister can't rest assured that His Majesty's body is so badly injured, no one takes care of her, how can she ...... Therefore, the minister came to see the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to put away the box, and the minister wanted to go...... I'm going to chase after Majesty! β
Jing Yan's heart trembled when he heard this, and the county lord of Anhe was concerned about his carefree heart, so why should he lose half a point?
Worry-free handing over such an important thing to the county lord of Anhe, in addition to the heart of trust, I am afraid that it is also necessary to tie up the county lord and prevent her from suffering at the border pass, right?
At this moment, Jing Yan was extremely conflicted in her heart: if she was distressed and carefree, she should send someone to escort the county lord of Anhe to chase after her; But if she cares about the county lord more than her own sister out of worry-free affection, how can she let a weak woman go to the border to suffer?
Jing Yan's heart was troubled, and he couldn't think about it. These things aside, there are more important things now-
She took the wooden box in Yun Sujun's hand and opened the seal under Yun Sujun's stunned gaze.
Jing Yan can't wait for what "critical moment", what "the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother open together", what "Heavenly Family Rules", what "Imperial Court Etiquette", it!
The wooden box is opened, commensurate with the delicate carving on the outside, and the ornamentation on the inside testifies to its unusual origin.
Yun Sujun didn't have time to appreciate it, her eyes were all attracted by the things in the box-
The bright yellow Ling Jin lay quietly at the bottom, and on it lay a warm jasper, vaguely engraved with two seal characters.
Yun Sujun didn't see clearly what those two words were, because the jade had been held in Jing Yan's palm.
She saw that the Queen Mother's hands were shaking involuntarily, and she was shocked, only to find that the Queen Mother's eyes were already red.
Yun Sujun suddenly said: That jade seems to be Arrow's personal thing.
She vaguely saw it when she treated Yu Wenrui's wounds, especially the string of jade, and the weaving technique was even more unique...... Yu Wenrui's accessories seem to be able to see the shadow of that technique.
Yun Sujun understood: It all came from Jing Yan's handwriting.
Actually, the Queen Mother also cares about Arrow, right? Although it is not easy to see, if you look carefully, how can you not see the clues?
Jing Yan couldn't wait to take out the bright yellow Ling Jin lying at the bottom of the box. As she expected, it was a holy decree, to be exact, an edict of succession.
At that moment, Jing Yan suddenly felt hatred: she hated Yu Wenrui and left like this, and hated Yu Wenrui for throwing the huge world to herself. Ten years ago, she had already experienced the heart-wrenching pain, and now, that person, do you want to let herself go through it again?
Why? Why could she be so self-righteous and abandon herself?
Just because, Jing Yan, the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the wife of the first emperor, can't love her?
Just because, she Yu Wenrui, the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the successor of the first emperor, in order to prove that she is not inferior to the first emperor?
She thought in her heart that she was not inferior to the first emperor, and she thought that she had left a thoughtful "edict of succession"?
She dared to do this, didn't she rely on her own care? Even, relying on himself to take her virgin body?
Jing Yan sneered.
Worry-free, worry-free, what do you want to compare with the first emperor? What if you take Beizheng? What if you unify the world? Even if it's ...... Like the first emperor, you are on the road of pro-conquest, what about you?
After all, she's still your sister; After all, without her passing on the throne back then, how could you be where you are today?
However, no matter how much he hates iron and steel, when he thinks of the word "body", Jing Yan still feels uncomfortable.
The word love does not mean that "I don't love you", so you don't love it.
Yun Sujun looked at Jing Yan's changing expression, and was a little overwhelmed.
The Queen Mother seemed to be completely immersed in her own world, and Yun Sujun couldn't get involved. Such a queen mother made her feel very strange.
Fortunately, the maid's retribution relieved Yun Sujun of the siege.
"What?" Jing Yan came back to his senses.
"Zhilanxuan, there is news," Shi Mo glanced at Jing Yan worriedly, and saw that the Queen Mother's expression was quite calm, before he said, "It is Miss Yu...... It's gone. β
Jing Yan's hand shook, and he almost dropped the holy decree in his hand to the ground-
This is good, the edict of succession has not been done yet, and the prince has disappeared first!
Today is the day when the Son of Heaven personally conscripts and sends troops, according to the custom, but also for the sake of the safety of the Son of Heaven, from morning to night, no idle people are allowed to wander in the market. The people of Beijing are accustomed to seeing big officials and big scenes, and they are all good at looking at the direction of the wind, who has nothing to touch that bad head? Therefore, even the street vendors and prosperous business fronts on weekdays are closed on this day, and the wives and children at home are stopped and hot kangs.
In the evening, even the officers and soldiers patrolling the guard and the public servants who maintained law and order found a warm place to eat and drink, and the streets became quieter and quieter.
On a certain street, a small figure walked alone. The cold wind of late winter and early spring carried the dust and blew mercilessly on her red little face. The snow on the ground that had not yet melted had long since melted into slippery ice, and she stumbled and slipped under her feet, raising her sleeves from time to time to wipe the tears from her face, and she didn't know why she was so sad.
The little girl tried to search her memory for the way she came, but she still got lost.
She walked for a while, looking around blankly, the street was empty, and there was not even anyone to ask for directions. She didn't know that the gates were to be locked at night, and she was looking forward to finding someone to find the way.
Turning a corner, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't care about being sad, so she ran a few steps.
"Mother-in-law......" she said tentatively.
The man was a woman, with white hair and a pale complexion, but fortunately she was very good-looking, and she was not old. Her clothes were torn in a few places, and there was still some dust, and she looked up in a daze, and followed the voice of the little girl.
"Mother-in-law," the little girl asked, not feeling like a bad person, "you know...... How to get around Beizheng? β
The white-haired woman looked dazed, as if she didn't understand at first, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly spoke in a dumb voice: "You, ask, the road?" β
Her voice was mechanical, as if she had just learned to speak, jumping word by word.
The little girl was stunned, looked at her pale face, and said with concern: "Mother-in-law, are you sick?" β
The white-haired woman didn't answer, just looked at her stupidly.
"Mother-in-law?"
"Lost, lost?"
When the little girl heard this, she nodded: "Yes, I'm lost." β
The white-haired woman looked at her again infatuatedly.
The little girl was stunned.
"Little sister, lost? Ask my brother! "A couple of people popped up out of nowhere.
There is nothing to extort in today's street market, and splashing skin is also to beg for a living. A few of them wandered through the empty streets, staring at the gleaming pure gold pendant on the little girl's head from a distance.
Look at this little girl, she is not very old, her style is not small, her clothes are also extravagant, and the ornaments on her body are not to be said. Most importantly, she was alone.
A few splashes observed for a while, and found that there were no servants around, and they became bolder, and they came up, planning that today's "harvest" would fall on this little girl.
Although the little girl was young, her knowledge was extraordinary, she looked up and down a few splashes, raised her little chin, and snorted disdainfully: "Where do you come from?" β
A few splashes laughed when they saw her little person talking about adults, and one of them dared to reach out and touch the pure gold pendant horn above her head, and his mouth was even more unclean: "Look at this little appearance, she is also a stunning beauty for a few years...... Ouch ......"
It turned out that the little girl had already copied his arm and made a grappling, and in the blink of an eye, the man's arm was dislocated, and he screamed in pain.
"It turned out to be a martial arts copyist!"
"Brothers, go up together!"
A few splashes surrounded an eight- or nine-year-old girl shamelessly, wanting to rob it openly.
Suddenly, two figures flashed, and then a few splashes were knocked to the ground, snorting in pain.
"A few old men bully a little girl, do you want to be faced? Get out of here! A fierce-looking man of the two yelled at a few of them.
A few splashes knew that they had run into stubble, and they crawled on the ground and got out.
"Little girl, are you alright?" Two men said.
The little girl saw their rabbit tricks, and said in her heart that this is the master of the rivers and lakes, right? She suddenly felt envy and admiration, and hugged her fists decently: "Thank you two strong men for helping!" β
When the two men saw her little adult, they almost burst out laughing. Just as he was about to say a few polite words, one of them, who was quite delicate-looking, suddenly caught a glimpse of the dragon cloud pattern jade pendant hanging on the little girl's belt, and was shocked.
He looked at the little girl's face, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked like the master's youth, and even his voice trembled, "Little girl, you ...... What is your name? β
The little girl just wanted to say "My name is auspicious", her eyes rolled, and she said in her heart, why is this uncle's expression so weird? Could it be that the bad guy in Beizheng who killed my father came to Kuang me? Don't be fooled!
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Another rugged man couldn't help but look at her, and said, "Is it really the little master?" β
He has an outgoing temperament, and he does what he thinks in his heart, and he can't help but clasp Jixiang's little shoulders with two big hands, and hurriedly say: "You are called ......"
Before the words fell, a strong palm wind struck.
The rugged man subconsciously dodged and jumped away.
"Who dares to plot against Lao Tzu!" He was so angry that his beard stood on end.
When he could see the attacker clearly, he and his companions were stunned: "He...... Ho Lord? β
He Chong put away his palms, and he didn't care about talking to them, so he flashed and arched his hand: "Madam, I found it." β
At the same time, Jixiang also saw the elegant and dignified woman behind He Chong.
"Sister Fairy!" When she saw Jing Yan, the sadness of losing her loved ones, and the helplessness of being lost, she turned into a strong sense of grievance and rushed into Jing Yan's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Jing Yan saw her small body trembling, and her heart softened first, so she hugged her tightly, and couldn't bear to be harsh.
"Why did you run out? Make it easy for the family to find. β
Jixiang heard her say "family", smelled the good smell on her body, warm, and said aggrievedly: "I want to go to Beizheng!" I'm going to avenge my daddy! β
Jing Yan was speechless.
Not to mention what a little old child can do, it's how to get Beizheng, kid, I'm afraid you don't know, right?
In these years, how about the big children and the little children all "go to Beizheng"? Jing Yan silently slandered.
At this moment, the white-haired woman who was curled up next to her like a wooden man from beginning to end suddenly spoke: "Wen ...... Heron ......"
Jing Yan seemed to have been pricked by a needle, she lowered her head and looked at the white-haired woman staring at her, thinking that she had just hallucinated.
"Wen Lu ......" The white-haired woman's voice became clearer, and two tears filled her dry eyes, as if the land that had dried up for a hundred years had suddenly been moisturized.
She suddenly took half a step forward, hugged Jing Yan's forearm, and cried like a child.
He Chong: "......"
This old lady looks like a person who doesn't know any martial arts, and it's not good for him to use his fists and kicks against the old and weak women and children, right?
Jing Yan was even more shocked than him: Wen Lu was her mother's maiden name. How did this strange woman know? Or, is it just a coincidence?
Is it really a coincidence?
Although Jing Yan lost her mother at a young age, she remembers it clearly, her father once said that her appearance was seven or eight points like her mother when she was young.
