Chapter 297: Encounter
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "It turned out that you found out." β
Yan Ran's eyes sank, and she stood on the roof in the distance with her hands on her chest, "So you don't deny that you sent someone to follow me?" Why are you tracking me? Do you still doubt my Xiao Wanyao? β
To be honest, Xue Tianao was indeed a little skeptical at first, whether she would be Xiao Wanyao, after so many years of not seeing, would she have learned martial arts, because she looked too much like her. But after this period of time, he sent someone to follow her, and Yan Ran's 'late-night visit' this time, he was very sure that she was not Xiao Wanyao.
Because Yanran gave him the feeling that it was too unfamiliar, so strange that it didn't look like Xiao Wanyao at all, whether it was her demeanor, tone of voice, etc. If it was just Xiao Wanyao pretending, he couldn't find any clues, and he was sure that Xiao Wanyao wouldn't do such a boring thing.
"There is no doubt about it now! I'm sorry for this, Miss Yanran, since you are Wanyao's friend, can you let me do my landlord's friendship and have a drink below? Xue Tianao said lightly.
Yan Ran was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Since the emperor has invited me, then I'm welcome." Yanran came to the roof where Xue Tianao was standing and walked towards him slowly, "I said in advance, if the wine is not good, I will leave immediately." β
A joking remark suddenly eased the atmosphere between Yanran and Xue Tianao, Xue Tianao smiled indifferently and stretched out his hand, "Please, Miss Yanran, I have all the fine wine in the world in my palace." β
After Yan Ran and Xue Tianao came down from the roof, as soon as Yan Ran's feet landed, she was surrounded by the palace guards who swarmed around, she raised her eyebrows, crossed her hands on her waist, and glanced back at Xue Tianao who came down, "Is this how you Wei State is hospitable?" Are you going to invite me to drink in the prison? β
Xue Tianao waved his hand to let the Praetorian Guards retreat, and then ordered the wine and food to be prepared, and the two of them sat around the table in the imperial study, which often caused it.
"Miss Yanran is not from Wei?" Xue Tianao asked.
Yan Ran nodded while eating and said, "I am a native of Chu, don't worry, I know who my parents are, and my origin is very clear, so I have no relationship with Xiao Wanyao, we look so similar, I also suspected it at the beginning, but later I determined that we were just a coincidence." β
The two of them picked up their glasses, clinked glasses and drank them all. Yan Ran has a sense of pride, and after contact, she knew that she came to her own rivers and lakes, lived a free and easy life, and watched her talk and act freely. That is the life that Xiao Wanyao yearns for. And although Xiao Wanyao also has her optimistic and cheerful side, she hides too many stories and too many helplessness in her heart.
will unintentionally want to feel sorry for her, and will want to protect her.
The news of the presence of assassins in the palace quickly reached the ears of the harem concubines, and the first to know the news was Yan Mosu-Xianfei, who lived in the Xixianfu Palace.
The little eunuch replied that there was an assassin, so Yan Mosu hurriedly got up, "Go and see the emperor." Then he took people to Taihe Palace, and the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The assassin has been caught, it is said that she is a beautiful woman with good martial arts, and the emperor is now drinking with her in the imperial study." β
This made Yan Mosu, who had already stepped out of the door with one foot, retreat again, as if he had misheard what he had just said, "You say it again, what's wrong with the emperor and the assassin?" β
The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "After the emperor knew that there was an assassin, he personally went to arrest the assassin, disappeared for a while, and then came back with the female assassin, and also set up a banquet in the imperial study, and is now drinking." β
Yan Mosu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was a little strange, "You just said that the female assassin ...... Is it a beauty? β
The little eunuch lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head, "The slave also listened to what others said, and the slave didn't see it with his own eyes." "Knowing that this virtuous concubine is not easy to mess with, the little eunuch is also extremely careful when he speaks, especially this virtuous concubine is unusually jealous. She eats anyone's vinegar, and she can't look past anyone.
Yan Mosu snorted lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "Now the emperor is too, seeing one loves the other, there were no concubines in the harem before, and there are so many concubines at once, isn't it enough?" The palace wants to go and see what kind of beauty it is, and the emperor is fascinated again. With that, he took his people to the imperial study of Taihe Palace.
When Yan Mosu arrived there, Xue Tianao and Yanran were drinking.
The eunuch on duty stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine asks to see you." Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, "Didn't I say it, when I reviewed the folds, no one was seen, let her go back." β
The little eunuch said, "If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Xian knows about the assassin, so she specially came to visit the emperor, and Concubine Xian is worried about the emperor's safety." β
Yan Ran smiled from the side, "Since I care about you, why bother to refuse." Let her in, and I'll see what the concubines around you look like." When I see Wan Yao in the future, I'll tell her again. Xue Tianao heard this, full of sarcasm, his face became a little unhappy, and he waved his hand to the eunuch on the side and said, "Tell her that it's okay, let her go back." I don't have to wait for me tonight, I spend the night in the imperial study. β
The little eunuch then turned and left. Yan Ran stared at Xue Tianao with a look of review, "Why be unhappy because of my words, the ancient emperors and generals, who is not the third wife and four concubines, Xiao Wanyao has long guessed that you are the emperor's fate, sooner or later, the three palaces and six courtyards, and the beauties and beauties are on the side, presumably she has already thought about it." β
Xue Tianao gladly accepted Yan Ran's sarcasm, his eyes stared at the wine glass in his hand melancholy, and sighed, "It's that I can't give her what she wants, and it's right for her to leave me." Otherwise, you will be deeply involved in the battle of this harem, how can you be happy. So I let her go, and give her freedom. As long as she's happy, I'm happy. β
Saying that, he poured the wine in the wine glass into his mouth, the bitterness accompanied by the hot and spicy taste entered his throat, he put the wine glass on the table heavily, and wanted to fill it again, but was stopped by Yan Ran, "Why bother to borrow wine to drown your sorrows." When you stopped me that day and treated me as Xiao Wanyao, why did you say those things to her personally. Since you know what she wants, and you plan to let go of your country for her, why are you still drinking bitter wine here, why don't you sue her? β
Xue Tianao smiled bitterly, pushed away Yanran's hand, and filled the wine glass, "Probably our fate is too shallow." Otherwise, why did you meet you, and not her? He drank it all again.
Yan Ran just looked at him like that, watching him drink the wine cup by cup, "That's why you accepted so many concubines, and you want to forget about her completely, right?" β
Xue Tianao drank another glass of wine and said, "Those people are all the daughters of palace ministers, to put it bluntly, they are just tools to control the country." For this sentence, a trace of coolness passed through Yan Ran's heart, and her brows frowned slightly, although Xue Tianao was in love with Xiao Wanyao, but he failed all the women for one person, and it was indeed a little cruel to think about it. But she can understand Xue Tianao, when one person's heart is filled by another person, it can no longer accommodate other people. Speaking of which, the people around you are just tools. It's apt.
After thinking about it, Yan Ran smiled and raised her glass, "Cheers to your world, to your harem." She drank the wine and got up, "I should go, there is a sentence before leaving, what you said just now, you must not say to the women of your harem, even if they know in their hearts that your heart is not in them, but they still will not let go of hope." There are always people in this harem who love you, and if you worry about others and suffer unspeakably, don't let the people around you be as heartbroken as you. β
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, looking up at Yan Ran, he didn't know that Yan Ran loved someone deeply, and that person already had someone else in his heart. So she knows this pain deeply.
She smiled indifferently at him and hugged her fists, "See you when you have a chance!" Take care. With that, she turned and strode away.
Looking at her back, in a trance, he seemed to see Xiao Wanyao leaving him, he hurriedly got up, knocked over the wine glass on the table, tore down the seat, and stumbled out, "Wanyao...... Wan Yao ......"
After going out, a cool breeze blew, and most of his wine woke up, and all he saw was a lonely moon and a thick night. That's not Wan Yao, even if it is, it won't stay here. He stared at the full moon in a daze, laughing at himself for being so entangled, she was destined not to belong to you.
"Your Majesty ......" A delicate voice came, and Xue Tianao followed the voice. Yan Mosu was still standing in the night, waiting outside the door.
Xue Tianao was stunned and reproached, "Didn't you let you go back to the palace?" Why are you still here? β
Yan Mosu looked aggrieved, and said in a very small voice, "The concubine is just worried about the emperor's safety, although the concubine doesn't know what her relationship with the emperor is, but she is an assassin after all, she doesn't leave, the concubine is uneasy, and the emperor doesn't want the concubine to go in, so the concubine waits here, just now the concubine saw that the assassin had left, the concubine was relieved, and the concubine retired." β
After speaking, Yan Mosu turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Xue Tianao's tone become softer, and said in a low voice, "Since you're here, don't go back." I haven't finished drinking yet, what if Concubine Xian has nothing to do and stays with me for a drink? β
After hearing this, Yan Mosu was naturally happy in her heart, but she endured her excitement and saluted, "The concubine is not strong enough to drink, the emperor wants to let the concubine order!" Xue Tianao smiled and stretched out his hand towards Yan Mosu, Yan Mosu paused slightly, this was the first time he had taken the initiative since she entered the palace and was canonized as a concubine, Yan Mosu's heart beat faster, her cheeks were slightly red, she stepped forward and gently held Xue Tianao's hand, and followed him into the imperial study.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Xue Tianao remembered what Yan Ran said, since his heart had been broken, why should he hurt those innocent people. Even if it's just tools, they are his women after all, and they deserve a little tenderness for them.
Half a month later, Yanran learned from Shangguan Yunfan about Xiao Wanyao's killing. And this matter is true, Mingyu is rushing back from Yan Kingdom with Xiao Wanyao's body. And Shangguan Yunfan and Zhenling were preparing to come to Wei from Chu.
After Yanran received the news, she was shocked for a long time, and what she was most entangled in was whether she should tell Xue Tianao about this matter. What if he knew that the woman he loved most was dead?
Mingyu and Xiao Wanyao returned to Jiangnan in the Wei Kingdom.
As soon as she stepped into the land of Wei, Xiao Wanyao jumped up and down, "After I go back, I will immediately announce the news of my death to the world, so that they all think I am dead." After that, I can enjoy myself. Take Ruier around the world. Hey. β
Mingyu glanced back at her and shook his head helplessly, "As soon as your news comes out, I don't know how many people's hearts will be broken, but it's really good for you." In the future, no one will look for you for revenge. You are giving advice behind your back, but I have raised all the soldiers you left to me, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, just waiting to go out to fight. β
Chapter 298: Pain
Hearing Mingyu's words, Xiao Wanyao was stunned and put away the smile just now, "This is a serious matter." Then the corners of her mouth hooked up a wicked smile, "Chase the deer in the Central Plains, who will kill the deer?" β
Zhenhao and Xue also learned of Xiao Wanyao's death, and everyone couldn't believe that under the protection of Mingyu, Xiao Wanyao would die. When Destiny heard the news, he was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he actually said to himself, "Why do I feel that this doesn't seem to be true? Will Xiao Wanyao die? β
Cheng Jin glanced back at him, "She's not an immortal, how can she not die." She killed the princess of Yan Kingdom, but Xue Tianao did not pursue her, but how could Yan Kingdom let her go. Once his identity is exposed in Yan Kingdom, he will ......" Cheng Jin was also extremely annoyed, "I knew that I should send a few more people to go with her, at least there is room for maneuver, no matter how powerful Mingyu is, can he defeat the garrison of the entire Liuzhou City?" β
Cheng Jin's words made everyone silent, and Zhu'er said on the side, "Don't tell Xiao Ze and Shuxian about this matter." It's just that Rui'er is still so young ......"
Although Zhenhao was a little sorry for Xiao Wanyao being killed, but he was more worried about the safety of Xue now, after everyone dispersed, Zhenhao and Xue walked towards the residence, Xue looked at his back, hesitated a few times, and said, "Zhenhao, are you thinking about leaving here?" Because Miss Xiao died, she couldn't cure me. β
Zhenhao has been thinking about this matter, for some reason, when Xiao Wanyao was here, he wanted to leave with the snow very much, but when he could leave casually, there was a little indescribable feeling in his heart, he suddenly stopped and said, "We will leave in two days, I heard a famous doctor, maybe he can cure your illness." β
After saying that, Zhenhao continued to walk forward, and Xue stood in place staring at his back, "I'm not leaving!" β
Zhen Hao was startled, turned around, and found her standing in the distance, "Why?" She's dead, and there's no one here who can cure you. If you don't find another healer, you ......"
"If it's really going to die, it's my life. I was mentally prepared a long time ago, Zhenhao I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to be that kind of person, Miss Xiao went to Yan Country for me, and she died for me. I can't get out of here at this time. In the snow, his eyes were a little moist, and his lips trembled slightly.
Zhenhao looked at her and had nothing to say, "I'm sorry, Zhenhao." As long as it's not at this time, I'm willing to go with you at any time, anywhere. But not right now. Although we are killers and can be ruthless, we can't do what this kind of villain does. β
After saying that it was snowing and turned to leave, Zhenhao stood in place and looked at her departing back, falling into deep thought.
Soon Mingyu came back with Xiao Wanyao's 'corpse'. When everyone witnessed Xiao Wanyao's 'corpse' lying in the carriage, they were convinced that she was really dead. Zhu'er and Cui'er almost cried, and the others were silent.
Soon Xiao Wanyao was buried as scheduled.
That night, Mingyu secretly went out, and Destiny followed, Mingyu came to an inn and sneaked in. Destiny felt a little strange and followed, and when he saw that Xiao Wanyao was safe and sound in the inn, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry in his heart.
Xiao Wanyao was sitting in front of a large table of reliable meals at this time, "Wow! Since I came back from Yan Kingdom, I haven't eaten properly, and I am about to starve to death. β
Mingyu smiled helplessly, "I'm also tired of handling your funeral after I come back, so you just lie there and are much more comfortable than me." It's just that I didn't expect that many people were sad after you died. β
Xiao Wanyao raised her head and glared at him, and said while taking a big bite of food, "What's wrong with me?" There are more people who care about me. By the way, did you give that prescription to snow? Did you tell her to take medicine on time and quantitatively according to the method I wrote, some medicines are difficult to find, you can help her find them, don't delay her treatment. β
"Got it! Did you sneak out of here? Mingyu said with calm eyes, but with a touch of pampering.
Xiao Wanyao frowned, this was all discovered by him, she just sneaked out for a while in the middle, she missed Rui'er too much, so she went to see Rui'er, now he has been right for two weeks, and he will call his mother to run around, "I went out in disguise, no one will know me, don't worry." β
Mingyu looked at her smug look and said, "Do you know that after Rui'er went back, she told SΓΉ Zhu'er that he had seen his mother." β
Hearing this, Xiao Wanyao was stunned, "Isn't it?" I told Rui'er that she couldn't tell anyone else what she saw me, this little cub was disobedient. β
"He's so old. You just want him to deceive people, how can you be a mother. Mingyu reproached, "Fortunately, everyone thought he just missed you, so he said it casually, so no one doubted it." β
Just as Mingyu's words fell, Destiny pushed the door in from the outside, "I just said, Rui'er won't say things like that, it seems that he really didn't lie." β
Xiao Wanyao and Mingyu didn't notice that there were still people outside, and the food in Xiao Wanyao's mouth almost squirted out, "Destiny, why did you come here?" She stared at Destiny incredulously.
Heavenly Destiny walked into the room with a deep smile, "I knew that you wouldn't die so lightly, but you are Xiao Wanyao, how could you die." But it's not a good thing for you to hide it from everyone. You know everybody's sad about you. And what will happen to Ruier in the future? You can't keep sneaking to him, right? β
Xiao Wanyao paused and said, "Actually, I plan to leave with Rui'er and live the life I want to live again." I'll leave it to Mingyu and you here. β
When Xiao Wanyao said these things, a trace of grief obviously flashed across Mingyu's face, and she was leaving again. Although there will still be a connection with each other, it's just that she won't be around anymore. But he had long thought that this would happen, she would not stay, so although he was a little disappointed, it was still flat.
"Destiny, you swear that you will not tell me that I am still alive." Xiao Wanyao forced the destiny of heaven and said.
Tianming raised his eyebrows, showed a bright smile, shook his head, and said, "Remember how you threatened others?" What do you do when you get someone else's handle? Would you agree to someone else's conditions so lightly? β
Xiao Wanyao's eyes widened, "What?" Destiny, you dare to be disobedient. β
Destiny stood up with a smile, "I finally caught your Xiao Wanyao's handle, I don't swear, I can threaten you with this handle in the future." Xiao Wanyao grew her mouth angrily, she didn't expect that Destiny was waiting for her here, she turned her head to look at Mingyu, wanting Mingyu to help her, but he lowered his head and drank tea, pretending not to see it.
Xiao Wanyao's eyes narrowed slightly, these two people are now in a group.
"Mingyu...... You're just watching him bully me? Xiao Wanyao said angrily.
Mingyu looked up and smiled innocently, "I don't think Destiny is bullying you, and I think Destiny is very wise to do this, it's a pity that I participated in the plan with you, otherwise it was me, I would have done it." β
"Good brother!" Heavenly Destiny smiled at Mingyu.
A few people made trouble in the inn for a while, and then the Mandate of Heaven came to the house, Mingyu stayed for a while, and when he left, he said to her in a deep voice, "Are you really ready to leave?" Not planning to stay? β
Xiao Wanyao knew that Mingyu wanted to keep herself, and she also knew Mingyu's heart, but she might never fall in love with someone else again in her life, she was very grateful to Mingyu, but she didn't love him, "Well, if you want to go out for a walk, I'll leave it to you here." However, you are not too young, you should also find someone you like, there is no killer of Qingfeng Yuan now, you are the general here......"
"This kind of thing is always hard to come by." Mingyu knew what Xiao Wanyao was going to say, and he understood her kindness, but ...... "There are some things that can't be forced, especially things like fate." Maybe fate arrived, and he naturally left. And...... Seeing how hard it is for you to fall in love with someone, I'm still alone. Get used to it! β
He loved her and would rather be alone in this land for her, because he knew that as long as there was this land, she would come back one day. So he wasn't ready to love others, and he was used to guarding her like this.
In the days that followed, Xiao Wanyao began to prepare to leave here with Rui'er.
On the other hand, Xue Tianao learned from Yan Guo that Xiao Wanyao was killed by Gong Liran, and the whole person became unrelenting, no matter how painful, lonely, and lonely he used to be, he still had a hope in his heart, that is, one day, maybe somewhere, at a certain time, he would meet her again. Yun said a few words lightly, even if it was just looking at each other and smiling from afar, it was enough to make up for the loneliness and loneliness in his heart for a long time.
He sat in the imperial study, holding a fold in his hand but could not read a word, and all day long, he sat there without eating, drinking, or moving. The whole person seems to have been drained of three souls and seven spirits.
After Feimo finished handling the matter, he came to the imperial study and asked the eunuch on duty, "Can the emperor eat?" The eunuch shook his head, "I haven't eaten a drop of water all day, just sit there like that, don't move, just now Concubine Xian came, and other concubines were all driven away by the emperor." What to do......"
The eunuch was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "Feimo, you follow the emperor the most, understand the emperor's temperament, you go and persuade him, if this continues, the emperor's body will collapse sooner or later." β
Fei Mo also frowned, he already knew about Xiao Wanyao's killing. He understood why Xue Tianao was like this, Xiao Wanyao's death hurt him more than digging out his heart, "I'll go in and take a look, but I don't know if I can persuade the emperor." β
After speaking, Fei Mo walked in, but as soon as he entered, Xue Tianao said in a low voice, "Get out!" I don't want to see anyone. β
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Fei Mo spoke, he was stopped by Xue Tianao, "Go out, didn't you hear what I said?" Get out of ......," he swept everything off the table and threw it all to the ground.
Fei Mo was also taken aback, he didn't expect Xue Tianao to become like this, it was completely like he had lost his mind, he was like this now, no matter who said anything, it was useless, the only thing that could make him better might be to give him a little time. Fei Mo turned to leave, leaving Xue Tianao to sit there alone in a daze.
Fei Mo hadn't left for too long, and the eunuch in the imperial study came to him, "Oh no, the emperor is gone!" βR1154
