Chapter 40 Truth and Falsehood Disturb People's Hearts, Right and Wrong, Settle Grievances

The drizzle was lingering, and it was bleak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYellow leaves fall on the water like a graceful arc. Autumn is approaching, and there is a bit of chill in the air. On the water corridor, there are still circles of ripples. Deserted, lonely painting crescent moon.

The candle flame wept darkly, reflecting the lonely side hall. A water-red oil-paper umbrella stepped into the threshold with rhythmic footsteps. Xianyun looked up to look, but it was a girl like a dream. But I saw that she was wearing a lotus-colored silk skirt, an apricot sweat towel tied around her waist, and a piece of white jade.

"It's still raining outside?" Chu Yunhong saw that the girl was coming, and walked towards her unconsciously. Stretched out his hand, gently wiped the rain on her cheeks, and said with concern, "I really wronged you, and when I finish this business, I will take you into the palace." ”

Xian Yun on the side saw it clearly, and Chu Yunhong's eyes when he saw the girl leave became a little tender and sweet. Thinking of that girl, it is Fu Haoxue that Wanning often says. Why is it so late, where did Chu Yunhong let her go? She's the one who sent the Assassins, and she should be placed under house arrest in the side hall.

Many doubts lingered in his heart, and he didn't wait for Xianyun to figure it out. I heard Chu Yunhong say in a deep voice: "Should I call you, Princess Kang?" "As Wan Ning and Die'er said, Chu Yunhong really knew his identity.

Fortunately, Wan Ning had explained these things before. What's more, Die'er also told a lot about Haoxue and Chu Yunhong. So now Xianyun is still a little prepared in his heart. She calmly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The slave and maid concealed it and did not report it, it was really for the sake of the little girl Qingluan." ”

The flower moon is hazy, and the forest path is small. Qingluan in the warm pavilion smiled like a flower, and she stood at the end of the slight path. Sweetly shouted at Chu Yunhong: "Brother Prince, thank you for the jade jade, Luan'er likes it very much...... "The falling flowers of the season withered throughout the late spring.

"Luan'er, when you grow up, I will give you a hairpin carved from white jade!" The little Chu Yunhong was holding a bunch of white gardenias in his hand. That's what I thought in my heart, and that's what I said on my lips. The wind blows the gardenias everywhere, intertwined into a brilliant color.

The childhood jokes are still there, and the gardenias are still there. It's just that the white hosta has always been a promise that Chu Yunhong owes. He can not admit Qingluan, and he can ignore those childhood jokes. It's just that he won't forget that it was Wanning and Xianyun who helped him ascend to the throne.

Qingluan is the daughter of Xianyun, and Wanning is the master of Xianyun, but she is the one who killed her mother. This layer of relationship used to be very worrying, but now with the emergence of the identity of the mother and daughter, Chu Yunhong can't handle it.

"There is a silk and satin village on the streets of Kyoto, and the owner of the village is called Duanmu Kun," Chu Yunhong said slowly, "I purchased Dongzhu for Haoxue, and only he has it." Did you and Aunt Yan know about it a long time ago? "Because when Chu Yunhong went, Duanmu Kun said it himself.

It was still the day before yesterday, Haoxue said that Dongzhu had dropped four. Chu Yunhong didn't want Haoxue to be sad, so he left the palace in a small way. However, the jade jade on his body was exactly the same as that on Qingluan's body before, and Duanmu Kun was able to identify Chu Yunhong's identity very accurately.

"The villain thanks his son for taking good care of his younger siblings and niece." Duanmu Kun's smile had ulterior motives, which made Chu Yunhong feel shocked at this time. So all the truth came out, and he couldn't have imagined it. It turns out that in the palace, there are still hidden princesses and princesses of Xirong!

For a while, there were disturbing doubts in his heart, so Chu Yunhong had to choose Haoxue's help. Let Die'er outside the window deliberately hear the words of "Restore Princess Xianyun", so that Xianyun can confess his guilt. Then Haoxue went to find Qingluan and inquire about the news of the piece of satin.

On the bluestone slab, the light rain is light. In the shadow of the lotus flower, the green wave gradually dispersed. With it comes an unpredictable future. Sometimes, it's better not to know the ending. Just as Xianyun was in the mood at this time, she waited quietly.

"You and Qingluan will not die, it is the kindness of your father, and you should be loyal to my Donglu," Chu Yunhong took a sip of tea, "Why do you still have hope for revenge, that Duanmu Kun has been preparing for a long time." Everything was as Chu Yunhong guessed, Xianyun just bowed his head and said nothing.

Wanning explained before, as long as she saves her life. It doesn't matter what Chu Yunhong does. So this rainy night was extraordinarily long. Chu Yunhong looked at Xianyun silently, only as if she had admitted it. Then he continued: "If your position is restored, I am afraid that you will provoke the resentment of the whole world. ”

Thinking about it carefully, what Chu Yunhong said was not wrong. Once the identity is revealed, it will not only make the people of the world think that Donglu has long been connected with Xirong. Those vassal states will take this opportunity to attack the eastern foothills. will also give Duanmu Kun, who is well-prepared, a valid reason.

"What the emperor said is very true," Xianyun did not have the slightest intention of resisting, and said obediently, "What should I do, the slaves and maids obey the emperor." "I'm afraid that Duanmu Kun, in turn, will take advantage of your identity and be detrimental to my eastern foothills—" Chu Yunhong's worries were the same as Wanning's.

That's why Wanning will take back those objects that symbolize the Xirong royal family. But I can't control Duanmukun's mouth, let alone those who do good things. There was silence all around, and Xianyun could hear it. Chu Yunhong was actually protecting her and Qingluan.

Then the previous worries were redundant, but then Xianyun realized that he was wrong. But seeing Chu Yunhong take out a book, it read, "Duanmu Kang died of illness in Jiangcheng, and the imperial court will reward him with a generous treatment of his wife Xian Yuntong and his unborn child." Left phase on the book. ”

The handwriting on the fold is clear, but the inscription is on the left. The time happened to be in the winter of the year Duanmu Kang died, so he couldn't hide his identity. Chu Yunhong sighed: "Although it has been eight years, there are always people who know the twists and turns. ”

Xianyun always thought that time could smooth everything out. It's just that I didn't expect the existence of her and Qingluan. But it has become a potential crisis in Donglu, as long as Duanmu Kun waives his arms. will definitely use her identity to provoke the best excuse for the princes to attack the eastern foothills.

All of a sudden, Xianyun's worries really came true. She collapsed limply on the ground, if she had known so. It was better to follow Duanmu Kang at the beginning! Tears from the clouds slid down her cheeks. She just wants to live quietly and without fighting with the world.

However, Duanmu Kun refused to let her go. She regretted it, she was helpless, she was overwhelmed. The wind was blowing outside the window, and I was afraid of hitting the window. "Kill him, kill Duanmu Kun!" Xianyun came back to his senses, and this is the only way to do it for now. Killed Duanmu Kun to prevent future troubles.

"In the Silk Village, there are all dead soldiers around Duanmu Kun," Chu Yunhong shook his head, "If you kill him, won't you kill yourself?" "Now that the national strength of Donglu has just recovered, it is not yet capable of dealing with these wars. A year, at least another year.

When Xianyun heard these words, he was even more desperate and helpless. At that time, she didn't know it at all. Chu Yunhong has already investigated the so-called assassin. In fact, it was a Shu soldier that Wan Ning secretly bought, just to quietly drive away Fu Haoxue. Otherwise, how could Qingluan, who had been trained by Wanning and painstakingly, be able to reach Chu Yunhong's side smoothly?

"Chu Yunhong! I'll kill you! Avenge your father! Before Xianyun stopped, he saw Qingluan holding a dagger in his hand. ran straight towards Chu Yunhong, her eyes full of anger. Those beautiful memories of childhood are all in vain at this moment.

The wind and rain are bitter, and the wild crows are numerous. The twilight is slightly chilly, and the trails are slippery. Frost arrives, and with it comes a cold winter. After a few autumn rains, the weather gradually gets colder. In particular, the withered lotus leaves on the pond and the hoarfrost covered with it make people feel chilled.

The small silver charcoal in the treasury emitted warm heat in the fire. It is light and smokeless, and there is a slight aroma of it. But Wan Ning unconsciously remembered that when she first entered the palace, if she hadn't fought for herself, she wouldn't have used this little silver charcoal yet.

It's just that now facing Qingluan's questioning, it really makes Wanning's heart sink. Twelve years ago, when Qingluan was just born, Wan Ning was worried about this problem. I'm afraid that one day, Qingluan will know the truth. Will he take revenge for his father and his family?

After spending twelve spring and autumn periods in such a peaceful manner, Wan Ning gradually grew from an ignorant daughter to a scheming maid. Compared with before, Wanning has more scheming, but she lacks the original true heart.

Through the bright candle flame, Wanning could still see clearly that the Qingluan in front of her had grown a lot. Her big eyes are extraordinarily bright. is full of cleverness, but now it is full of anger, which makes people a little scared.

How many times, Xianyun wanted to tell Qingluan the truth. But Wanning didn't allow it, Qingluan was still young at that time. She sent Lianyi Professor Qingluan full-time, just so that one day in the future. When the truth comes out, Qingluan will also reduce some of his hatred.

"Pity my mother, she raised me alone," Qingluan looked at Xianyun with tears in her eyes, "But why, hide the truth from me?" My father, is it really Duanmu Kang? Am I the last princess of Sijon......"

said that it was a twelve-year-old Qingluan, but in fact, it was not small. Since Chu Yunhong ascended the throne as emperor, Qingluan was sent to Zhengyang Palace. is a maid who is responsible for clerical writing and ink, and is of the same level as Die'er who serves tea and water, all of which are arranged by Wanning.

"If I had known this, I would have killed him immediately to avenge my father and mother!" Qingluan gritted her teeth hatefully, looked at the dagger in her hand, and said fiercely, "But why is Aunt Yan trying to stop me?" What an injustice to my mother! ”

Don't look at Qingluan's description as young, in fact, there is a clear love and hate in my heart. These days, I vaguely hear something about that Xijon shop. And that piece of precious silk, the eastern pearl of Xirong. These all represent the identity of the Xijon royal family, but she has also seen these things in her mother's place.

Hearing these truths for a while, all the doubts that lingered in my heart disappeared. She held the dagger and was about to attack Chu Yunhong. "Since Aunt Yan asked me to serve the emperor, it must be useful," Qingluan said affirmatively.

The wind and rain outside the window are cloudy, and the sound of rain in the dark night. Xianyun could only cry incessantly, which made Qingluan strengthen her heart for revenge. Wanning patiently listened to Qingluan's confession, and then explained to her: "If you kill the emperor at this time, you will have failed the emperor's heart......

"At the beginning, the emperor left the lives of your mother and daughter, so that in the future, he could use your identity to restrain those rebel forces in Xirong." Wan Ning told Qingluan all the pros and cons. I hope Qingluan can weigh the gains and losses.

It's just that what Wanning didn't know was that Qingluan, who learned the truth, had already planted a heart of revenge in her heart. Especially outside the palace, there is her uncle, who thinks of Xijon being exterminated. Those people were displaced, and Qingluan's heart felt very sad.

The wind and rain stopped, and the falling flowers and mud fragrance remained the same. A thin layer of mist shrouded in mid-air, mixed with the bleakness of yellow leaves falling one after another. It was getting colder tonight, and occasionally you could hear deep into the trail. The little eunuch who beat the watch, the sound of Bangzi is very long.

I didn't sleep all night, thinking carefully about these days. What has been experienced, and what has been heard. Qingluan only then understood why Chu Yunhong was interested in Aunt Yan and his mother. is so cold, and she has to drive Aunt Yan out of the palace, probably because Aunt Yan saved her mother back then.

Originally, Xirong captured Donglu, so that Donglu lost its short-term glory. The first thing that Donglu did to turn defeat into victory was to implement a policy of extermination against Xirong. No matter what the safety of the people is, Qingluan and her mother survived because they have use value.

"I don't want to be that pawn to use!" Qingluan is different from Wanning back then, she is unwilling to be used by her clansmen, even if it is her relatives. She wants to live for herself, for her mother. Killing Chu Yunhong is one of her tasks now.

"I left you alive and let you go to the emperor's side to do things, in fact, to protect you," Wan Ning said such things to Qingluan before, but Qingluan, who was helpless, couldn't listen to it. So in the end, he helped Duanmu Kun in a daze, but he almost hurt his mother.

The grievances of the previous generation are just a dream. This is a sentence when Qingluan recalled his recklessness and impulsiveness many years later. There are always young and frivolous people, but they don't have to be mortgaged with their lives. Qingluan regretted it.

Every time I think of Duanmu Kun using his mother's life to blackmail himself to kill Chu Yunhong. Qingluan will be at a loss, hiding a hate in his heart, but he always can't do it. Thinking of what Aunt Yan said, Qingluan really realized the deep meaning.

"Luan'er doesn't cry," Xianyun stroked Qingluan's trembling shoulders and comforted softly, "Mother's family is fine, you don't have to blame yourself-" Wanning on the side looked at it, and sighed unconsciously: "Duanmu Kun is extremely ambitious, do you think he is just for revenge?" ”

Nuoda's Xirong was destroyed, and Duanmu Kun hated it. He knew that Qingluan was a maid in the palace, so he took advantage of her and provoked her with words. As a result, there was an extra scar on Xianyun's arm. This scar reminds Qingluan from time to time.

It wasn't until later that Qingluan realized that what Aunt Yan said was right. Concealing the truth is actually to protect yourself. Even if there is such a day, Chu Yunhong will remember the love of the hour and spare himself. It was because of his own carelessness that Duanmu Kun took advantage of the loophole.

A burst of Qingxiao woke up Qingluan after the rainy night. She walked to Xianyun's side, knelt down to confess to her mother, and said to Wanning: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely keep my aunt." She said it very sincerely, which made Wanning feel very relieved to hear it.

At night, the moon is in the sky, and the light is thousands of miles away. The people who reflected couldn't sleep, and the graceful condensation in the dream returned to the Yilan Pavilion many years ago. Now, she can't tell Jun Hao yet. Regarding Qingluan, she really couldn't figure it out.

At that time, Wanning hadn't told Qingluan yet. Regarding Lianyi's identity, the little maid who used to train Wanning. was also a scheming person, what she did. It was even more unexpected that things would become more complicated because of Lianyi.

"Tomorrow is the last day, you stay in the palace," Xianyun's voice was low, almost to the dust. She didn't want Wanning to leave, because there was still a lot of work to be done. It can be heard that Xianyun can't give up this master-servant friendship.

"Destroy that book first," Wan Ning understood, as long as she denied the identity of Xianyun's mother and daughter. Duanmu Kun will not take advantage of the opportunity, not to mention that the excerpt is written by Zuo Xiang. He talked about things with excerpts, but it was really difficult to do. After hearing this, Xianyun was about to answer. But I saw a carrier pigeon wandering in outside the window.
