Chapter XI. The dust settled
Peach Blossom was waiting for Le Yi to ask this, and at this time she asked, and seized the opportunity to explain to everyone: "This is the last chance, if your mother and daughter are hiding inside, you will never have a chance to come out." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info take the opportunity to seize Yang Guang's weapon this time, grasp it well, and don't let it go. Only then can you and your mother be saved"
At this time, the Taoist priest who looked at Le Yi that day came, although he was dressed in disguise, but Le Yi recognized him at a glance.
The Taoist priest behaved quite cautiously, and he was wearing a father-in-law's clothes, so he looked like a bad person in Le Yi's eyes. But sometimes you really can't judge people by their appearance. Sometimes there are many people who look like decent people and gentlemen who have bad conduct, but there are some people who are not very good-looking but have a soft and kind heart.
After the Taoist priest arrived, he didn't say a word, but fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a crying voice: "Please ask the princess and the queen for forgiveness!" Because of the poor road's incomplete plan back then, Queen Zhang has become what she is now. “
Le Yi heard Peach Blossom talk about the whole story, so she knew that it was not his fault, so she said: "I don't blame you for this, how can I forgive my sins?" Get up! “
He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, in the eyes of others, it was not his fault, but he couldn't forget the scene when he was taken to this dark room by Peach Blossom for the first time to see Empress Zhang.
He always felt that it was for his family's life that made Empress Zhang become like that. So I decided to make up for it with my life's energy.
First of all, in order to make the queen recover in this state, it is necessary to study this medical skill, and in the Taoist temple where the royal family members often visit, he became a Taoist priest and weaved a large net to collect information about the royal family. Wait for the opportunity.
The Taoist priest ignored everyone's surprised expressions, got up and stood still, and immediately began to talk about business: "According to the information I have, this time the incident is like this: the fifth princess saw Yang Guang's portrait and insisted on marrying him, and then the queen found her father, General Guo, for the sake of her beloved only daughter, and they planned to assassinate the princess and let the fifth princess go to marry Yang Guang. ”
Le Yi had already heard that Peach Blossom had said before that the fifth princess wanted to marry Yang Guang, so she was not surprised to hear this.
Calmly asked, "What about our countermeasures now?" ”
"You come out of that dark room, it is only a matter of time before General Guo's eyes find out about you, now the only way is to send your letter and portrait as soon as possible, and the most important thing is to try your best to help Yang Guang while gaining his affection, and make his power as great as possible. As long as you still hold power, General Guo and Empress Guo will not dare to do anything to your mother. ”
After hearing this, Le Yi nodded and said, "This is easy to do!" I said in my heart that I am also a college student who graduated from the Department of History, and how to write a letter to attract Yang Guang can still be done.
Peach Blossom didn't know when she brought paper and pen, and the old woman who had been in charge of delivering the food took the easel and placed it in the center of the room. Le Yi is wondering if there are no painters here, what are you doing with these things?
The Taoist priest said with a smug face: "Poor Dao is a little skilled in painting. Please sit on the stool, let Poor Dao help you paint the portrait overnight, and let someone send it to Yang Guang immediately. “
Le Yi sat on the stool and began the portrait. Everyone held their breath and stared, as if they were afraid that if they made a little noise, the Taoist priest would often draw an ugly girl.
Finally, the Taoist priest behind the easel laughed and shouted, "It's done!" Ask the princess to look at it. ”
In the tense atmosphere, everyone didn't react for a while. After reacting, they all hurriedly ran behind the easel to look at the paintings. The painter Taoist priest was pushed aside and glanced at the easel with resentment. Take a peek of your eyes and everyone reacts to the drawing.
With a burst of exclamation in a low voice, Peach Blossom said, "It's perfect! ”
Le Yi said: "I can see that it's me, but it's better than me!" “
The Taoist priest obviously regarded this sentence as a compliment to himself, and hurriedly answered: "Where is it, the princess herself is still beautiful!" ”
"Time is running out, hurry up and write a letter, don't let the fifth princess rush ahead!" Le Yi had already begun to prepare to write a letter, although the Taoist priest still wanted to talk about this proud work of his, but it was true that time was running out, so he could only start preparing to write a letter.
Xin Qi Le Yi didn't have any friends when she was young, and she followed her grandfather to write calligraphy all day long, even ink painting, and this handwritten letter can still be written.
The Taoist priest laid the paper, the peach blossom grinded the ink, everyone worked together, and soon made preparations for confidence.
Based on some memories of reading history books before, Le Yi began to write some words that Yang Guang might like to hear:
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin,
Xiao Leyi, the fourth princess of Xiliang, the little girl, has long admired the name of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and now she can see the portrait, which is really extraordinary, handsome and majestic. Compared with these, His Royal Highness King Jin's advocacy on the freedom of marriage makes me admire even more. Regarding the king of Jin leading an expedition outside the border at a young age, it is really extraordinary.
I hope to have the opportunity to end with His Royal Highness as a husband and wife, and work together to contribute to the Great Sui and help the current Great Sui Shengshang to establish a meritorious feat that is far superior to that of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
I also hope that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will pay attention to his health in the army, and look forward to your triumphant return, we will see you in Chang'an!
Xiliang Xiao Leyi"
Peach Blossom and Taoist priests have praised Le Yi's words, the strength is not beautiful, and there is no lack of aura in the uprightness, which is really a reflection of Le Yi's heart. is even more overwhelmed by Le Yi's literary knowledge, so Yang Guang will definitely agree to this marriage. Although they are not 100% sure, if they say that this miscalculation can only be said that there is something wrong with Yang Guang's side.
As soon as the ink dried, he immediately wrapped these things and sent them to the post station to pass them to Yang Guang. By the time the Fifth Princess and Empress Guo wake up tomorrow morning, the letters we sent will no longer be able to be recovered. The Taoist priest said excitedly.
In order to complete these follow-up things, the Taoist priest went to execute it overnight.
Le Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see that her mother, Empress Zhang, was still counting the rosary there, and what happened here just now did not affect her at all.
"Speaking of which, it was this rosary that saved her, and when I returned from sending you to your uncle's house, I saw the queen sitting on the ground, constantly picking at the walls and the floor with her hands. His hands were full of scars. Later, the Taoist priest thought of this method. After giving her the rosary, she kept counting the rosary. ”
Listening to Peach Blossom's description, Le Yi once again couldn't cry. How could human beings have such a tragic experience?
Mother, no one knows what you have been through. My uncle thought you were still resentful of him and wouldn't contact him. I still misunderstood in my heart that you were a person with cold feelings. How could you have thought that you would go through such dark things.
"Probably if she chooses again, she won't come to the palace with the emperor when she dies, right?" Peach Blossom said, her tone was full of pity and self-blame.
"This can only wait for her to recover a little, and ask herself." Le Yi no longer wants to misunderstand her mother based on speculation.
A person will never empathize with another person, and all the choices she makes, the choices she will make, we may not understand, because we are not her, we don't know all her feelings. All we can do is support her and believe in her. This is more important than anything else.
"Regret or belief in the future, let the mother decide for herself."
Le Yi and her mother both fell asleep in the peach blossom room temporarily, and the peach blossom went to squeeze with the old woman who delivered the meal.
Everyone has their own hearts and minds, and they all wait for the dawn. I don't know what kind of things will happen when the first ray of sunshine is tomorrow, and people are so small. However, they are such a group of people who do not admit defeat.
Maybe fate is afraid of people like them. Soon they received a flying pigeon from the messenger, Yang Guang was very satisfied with Le Yi's portrait, and the marriage was finally settled.
It's time for a showdown, and before Le Yi goes to Sui Capital, she must first settle her mother.
