Chapter 14: Arguments are refuted, worries are excessive, and peace of mind is finally relieved
The clouds and shadows are heavy, and the fireworks are heavy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoA ray of warm sun, swaying in the twilight. After a rain yesterday, the air was filled with the scent of earth. It was a mixture of fallen yellow leaves, the last of the scent of the earth. It seems that there is still a remnant of the lush smell of spring.
In the small camp tent, two cups of tea have a long tea rhyme. When Chu Junhao sat slowly in front of the table, Chen Jun hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor came to my Chen Guo's account, which is really the blessing of my Chen State, and my Chen Guo wishes the emperor great blessings!" β
These polite words sound high-sounding, but in fact, this may be the case, in Chen Jun's heart, he wants Chu Jun to die. He snorted coldly in his nose: "If you have anything to do, just say, I still have something to do." He didn't want to pay attention to this Chen Jun, he only thought about Wanning.
Since everyone knew what was going on, Chen Jun still felt that he couldn't open his mouth. He slowly picked up the teacup and sighed: "This is the tea produced by my Chen Guofengqiu, but now, I don't have such a blessing anymore......
Naturally, henceforth the mound. But it is the land of Donglu, and he Chen Guo may not be able to want tea. This was a little puzzling, but Chu Junhao still guessed the meaning: "Tomorrow, I want Yuzhen to return to the palace with me, and I will ask her to bring you some when I go back." β
These words broke the mystery in Chen Jun's words, and Chen Jun said that he had no chance to drink Fengqiu's tea, but in fact, he wanted Yuzhen to go to Donglu to continue to be her concubine. Now that Chu Junhao said this, he nodded and agreed, and Liang Yuzhen could go back to Donglu.
In other words, that is, Chu Junhao no longer pursues the matter of Yuzhen's fake death. As long as Yuzhen returns to the palace and abides by the palace rules, then it will bring a few years, or even decades of peace, to Chen Guo. After pondering these words carefully, Chen Jun was so happy that he thanked the saint for his grace.
The cool breeze blew slowly, and the air seemed to be gloomy again. It looked like it was going to rain, and the leaves were rustling in the wind. A row of lone geese, hovering in the air and flying south. The autumn grass is withered and yellow, and the autumn flowers are bleak. Fengqiu is located in the plain and hilly area, and the autumn cold comes very early.
In Chu Chujunhao's opinion, this Chen Guojun really has such a set of words. obviously didn't say anything, but turned around and discussed with himself. It can be seen that yesterday Xianyun guessed to himself, which is really good. This made Chu Chujun have another view of Xianyun.
"It's just that Yuzhen is back in the east foothills, and we still have to make a deal," Chen Jun saw Chu Junhao wanting to get up and leave, and hurriedly chased after him and said, "My daughter can't speak yet, she was all harmed by the seven medicinal incense." Now that the sinners are here, isn't this the emperor's purpose? β
At the beginning, Jiang Lingyan was arrested by the whole country in order to hand it over to Chen Guo. In order to calm Chen Guo's anger, it is a pity that on this alliance, Jiang Lingyan actually has the evidence of Wang Qibo's rebellion. After weighing left and right, Chu Junhao decided to take Jiang Lingyan away as a witness to get rid of Wang Qibo.
As for the explanation with Chen Guo, they can protect Chen Guo's peace in the east. Chu Junhao promised them that as long as Yuzhen lived in the world, he would not fight against the Chen State. But for Chen Guo, the empty promise naturally did not hand over the murderer, and it was more cost-effective.
Even when Liang Yuzhen received Xianyun's order, he persuaded Chen Jun to ask Donglu for a sinner. Then Chen State will not give up, and they will unite with Shu to attack Donglu. Until Donglu handed over Jiang Lingyan, Liang Yuzhen's persuasion happened to fall into Chen Guo's hands.
"Liang Yuzhen is not your princess of Chen Guo, when you married her into Donglu and assassinated me, you committed the crime of killing the king!" Chu Junhao only realized at this moment how important Jiang Lingyan's existence was. He thought about making a promise to Chen Guo, so that he would take Jiang Lingyan away, so that he could get rid of the power in the palace first. If it is delivered to Chen Guo again, why not.
The autumn rain continued, and the mountains, trees, flowers and plants in the distance were shrouded in a faint layer of mist. Candles were lit in the tent, and the flickering candles were shining around. With the gray world outside, a black and white ink painting is formed, with strong ink and color.
The dripping in the copper kettle, ticking and ticking, falls into the water tank regularly. Looking at the layers of ripples stirred up by water droplets, Chu Junhao never understood. A few days ago, Chen Guo was okay and promised not to take the sinners away. How did it take only one day to change the hexagram.
Naturally, he Chu Junhao was the emperor of the eastern foothills. He never took back what he said. He knew that Chen Guo had a weak heart and dared not speak out. So this time, who borrowed his guts. Shu Kingdom, or what happened?
Suddenly, Chu Junhao thought of Xianyun. The girl who was yesterday and was still talking about her speculations. At first, Chu Junhao thought that it was because Xianyun had been by Wanning's side for a long time and had learned a lot. Now it seems that Xianyun has some connection with this Chen Jun.
"I have already named Yuzhen as a princess, and her assassination of the emperor is just to take revenge," Chen Jun immediately said such a reason, and denied all the words that Chu Junhao had said. Yuzhen is also a princess, and she went to Donglu just to take revenge, which is not a crime of bullying the king.
Hearing Chen Jun's words, Chu Junhao admired it in his heart, but at the same time, he had a layer of doubt. It's that he had a relationship with Xianyun before, but if there's anything wrong, he just doesn't understand. "Anyway, I also promised Chen Guotai, this Jiang Lingyan matter will be stopped for the time being!"
"Could it be that the emperor came here just to embarrass my Chen Guo?" Chen Jun was furious, "She hurt my princess first, and I haven't seen anyone protect sinners!" I'd rather take back the land of Fengqiu and fight with you in the east until I hand over Jiang Lingyan!" β
Having said that, Chu Junhao never let go. Chen Jun unconsciously looked at Xianyun on the side, but saw that Xianyun shook his head slightly at him, meaning that he couldn't give up. Chen Juncai clapped his hands, and Liang Yuzhen came out of the back bed and saluted Chu Junhao.
The emperor and husband in the past have to confront him now. Liang Yuzhen really didn't want to speak, but she saw Xianyun's determined gaze. Only then did she calm down and slowly spoke: "Some time ago, the dagger I stabbed Jiang Lingyan was a ...... with quenched poison on it."
Since it is a dagger that has been quenched with poison, Jiang Lingyan's time is short. Liang Yuzhen continued: "The monarch wants Jiang Lingyan to go to Chen State, one is that I can treat her injuries and detoxification, and the other is that she wants her to treat the princess - the antidote to the seven medicinal incense, but we don't-"
Regardless of whether Liang Yuzhen's words were true or not, she had discussed it with Xianyun at the beginning. Chen Jun persuaded first, and if it didn't work, Liang Yuzhen would come forward. We must strive for success, even at the cost of deception and cajoling. For the future, Liang Yuzhen can only do this.
"Xianyun, can you believe what she said?" When Chu Junhao heard the news of Jiang Lingyan's poisoning, he asked about Xianyun. He wanted to see how Slim Cloud reacted to prove his judgment. Of course, he hoped his guess was wrong.
The autumn wind rolls up thousands of clouds, and the drops of rain scatter the jade plate. Seeing Xian Yun shaking his head to express his helplessness, Chu Junhao's worries finally let go. Come to think of it, it's because I'm too careful. He was only afraid that Wan Ning would harm the queen, and he would instruct Xian Yun to deliberately frame Jiang Lingyan.
After all, according to Jiang Lingyan's words, Princess Chen Guo was killed by Wang Qibo. Jiang Lingyan is just a scapegoat, so this time, Chu Junhao must be extremely careful. He thought twice and decided to send Jiang Lingyan away. First, he can explain to Chen Guo, and second, he wants to be in the palace and thoroughly ask Ming Wanning's thoughts.
"Since Yuzhen said so, then send Ling'er to Chen Guo," his decision made Liang Yuzhen very happy, and Xianyun also wiped the sweat on his head. In any case, the task assigned by Wanning has been completed. It's just that they don't know, because of this incident, it has made Wan Ning and Chu Junhao go farther and farther.
Bleak autumn rain, cold invasion. A layer of water filled the air, staining the withered yellow leaves, as if haggard throughout the autumn. The pond is shrouded in a thin autumn curtain, and as the autumn wind blows, it suddenly feels cold. At the railing, it is cold to lean alone.
In the warm pavilion, a warm stove has been lit. The stove is covered with a hollowed-out silver charcoal fire cover, which collects heat and prevents sparks from spatting. The charcoal fire in the stove was blazing, and the fire cover was burned red.
At the threshold, Wanning kept pacing back and forth, and lifted the curtain from time to time to look out. These days she always had nightmares about the queen crawling out of the coffin and begging for her life. There is also Chu Junhao beside him, and he wants the criminal department to send him down and execute himself.
Every time she woke up, she was sweating profusely. turned around to inquire about the relevant news, but the wind and waves were calm on the Fengqiu side, and there was nothing in the palace. Everything around is too quiet, isn't it? The deployment she made at the beginning hoped to be successful.
Just as she was thinking wildly, she saw He Jing's figure outside. Wanning was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly opened the door curtain, and pulled He Jing's hand. Anxiously asked about the situation over there, He Jing looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered: "I saw Zuo Xiang go to Changchun Palace......"
Changchun Palace? Isn't that Jiang Lingyan's bedroom? What's more, she is not there again, what is Zuo Xiang doing in Changchun Palace. Could it be that Jiang Lingyan secretly gave him some benefits and asked him to go to Changchun Palace to do something? If that's the case, it's really tricky.
At the beginning, Wanning tried her best to drive Jiang Lingyan out of the palace. Now at this juncture, if Jiang Lingyan wants to get involved, if she wants to deal with Wanning, it is simply easy. When she thought of this, Wan Ning couldn't help but tremble a little.
"He Jing, you and Lianyi hurry up, hurry up and go to Changchun Palace!" Wanning grabbed He Jing's hand tightly, and said hurriedly, "When you get there, don't make a noise first, and see what he wants to do first!" "Wan Ning must find an opportunity to see the true purpose of Zuo Xiang before she can make a judgment.
He Jing, who received the order, turned around and left in a hurry. Looking at He Jing's departing back, Wanning's heart was still hanging in the air. She just prayed that nothing would go wrong. This time she arranged it all carefully, just hoping that it would go smoothly in the middle.
Outside the window, the sound of the rain gradually became quieter, and the sky began to clear. An autumn wind blew, and the clouds in the sky were washed clean. Raising my head and watching them wander in the twilight autumn sky, I suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed.
Wanning leaned on the soft couch, her eyes slightly closed. She quietly thought about what had happened in the past few days, Chu Junhao went to Fengqiu to participate in the alliance, Chen Guo offered the land of Fengqiu, Donglu signed an armistice agreement with Shu, Xiao Yihan went to protect the monarch, and the crown prince Chu Yunhong and Wang Qibo were hostages in Shu.
Everything was connected one by one, so that Wanning had to believe in a fact. It wouldn't be too peaceful to go to Fengqiu like this, otherwise how could she send Xiao Yihan. Thinking that Chen's surrender was not sincere, the armistice agreement was a delaying tactic, and it was not certain that Shu would buy it.
Now Wanning just hopes that Chu Junhao and Xiao Yihan can return to Donglu smoothly. She never saw Jiang Lingyan again, that hypocritical and arrogant woman, full of insidiousness and viciousness. The chirping of birds on the branches set off the silence and peace of the area.
Spring and autumn several degrees, the years have not been, remembering the past. Those past days are slowly taking root in the soil. Maybe one day, it can break through the ground and become the most beautiful scenery in the next spring. That waiting has always been by his side, never going far.
"Aunt Yan? Where's my Aunt Lian? It was Qingluan's voice, and she poked her head out of the door and asked, "I have a carrier pigeon here, like I'm looking for Aunt Lianβ" carrier pigeon? Wan Ning turned over and sat up, and hurriedly picked it up from Qingluan's hand and opened it to look at it.
After reading the letterhead, Wan Ning suddenly felt that she had put down a big stone. She patted her chest and let out a long breath. Then he patted Qingluan's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Today, you have done a good thing for me." Say, whatever you want, your aunt can satisfy you. β
It turned out that the letter was sent by Xianyun, and she said that Jiang Lingyan had been taken away by Chen Guo. She will arrive in Kyoto in half a month with the team from the eastern foothills. accompanied by Liang Yuzhen, you should rest assured. Seeing this letter, how could Wan Ning not be happy.
The sound of wind and rain just now is inspiring. Now the arrival of this letter made Wan Ning only feel as if she had seen the light. Even Qingluan clapped her hands and smiled when she saw it: "I haven't seen Aunt Yan smile for a long time, Aunt Yan can be happy, and Luan'er is also happy......"
"Do you want to see your mother?" Wan Ning knew that there was only one wish in Qingluan's heart. The letterhead she sent made Wan Ninghuan like it for a while. Seeing Qingluan's nodding appearance, Wan Ning agreed repeatedly: "In half a month, your mother will return to the palace, and you can see her." β
"Really?" Qingluan's eyes radiated and jumped up happily. Wan Ning saw it, squatted down unconsciously, and asked, "Then you tell your aunt, what has the little prince been doing these days?" This is the reason why Wan Ning asked Qingluan to stare at Chu Yunzhao at the beginning.
But seeing that Qingluan didn't think about it, she opened her mouth and said: "Auntie doesn't know, the master hasn't come to class in the past few days, and he has ordered me to watch the little prince read." The little prince refused to read, so I told him that if he didn't read, he wouldn't want to see me......"
Qingluan was still talking, but Wanning's mind had already flown to the Changchun Palace. According to Qingluan, Zuo Xiang must have been investigating his own affairs in the past few days. From this point of view, the left prime minister must get rid of himself. Is it just to replace the crown prince?
Just when Wan Ning was thinking about it, she heard Qingluan's voice shouting "Aunt Lian". It's Lianyi back! Wan Ning hurriedly opened the door and anxiously asked about the result. Lianyi smiled at Wanning: "Don't worry, girl, everything is settled." β
Settle? How to fix it? Looking at Wanning's confused eyes, Lianyi took a sip of tea, and then said: "Zuo Xiangyuan went to find Die'er, he took the incriminating evidence obtained from the torture room, and wanted to ask Die'er the truth." I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I ...... her."
Looking at Lianyi's head-killing action, Wan Ning suddenly understood. Die'er died, and Lianyi killed Die'er. In order to save her life, Lianyi will do this. Who knew that He Jing on the side saw it, and hurriedly explained: "Lianyi didn't kill her, but just made her lose her voice temporarily......"
It turned out that Zuo Xiang had already seen Die'er, and when Lianyi arrived, Zuo Xiang left. Lianyi was afraid that Die'er would tell the truth, but she didn't dare to make her own decisions. I had to use the remaining seven medicinal incense to let Die'er take it. In this way, the spearhead of suspicion is Jiang Lingyan.
"If the emperor asks, the girl only says that Jiang Lingyan did it," Lianyi took the charge and whispered to Wanning, "We also have evidence here, anyway, with Die'er's life, she can't speak, what she does, it has nothing to do with us-"
Yes, it's still Lianyi thoughtful. Wanning's original intention is not to harm others. She looked at the charge and thought of the original interrogation of Cheng Chunlin in the execution room, Die'er was beaten by her, and this Cheng Chunlin couldn't stay. She said to He Jing: "Cheng Chunlin is loyal to the lord, let her follow the queen." β
After all, there are too many people involved in this matter, and one person must be sacrificed. After Wan Ning arranged these things, Fang Jue's consciousness gradually blurred and his whole body weakened. Lian Yi and He Jing retreated quietly, and in the empty room, only Wanning's heavy breathing remained.
