Chapter 237: A Thought of Gods and Demons
"What the hell is going on?"
I returned to the dormitory from the beginning of the clouds, and rode on the chariot, and the palace people carried the chariot to the dormitory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Jialan imagined an ordinary palace person, and when we turned another palace gate and walked on the wide road to the dormitory, she quietly followed the palace people, and walked beside the chariot.
She turned her head to look at me, and I understood, and quietly commanded forward, "Slow down, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”
Looking back, I asked Jialan what had happened.
Jialan lowered her head, raised her eyes, and observed all the movements around her, she stood on the right side of my step, which happened to be on the other side of Cui Xi on the left, and I lowered the curtain on the left side of my step.
Cui Xi happened to tell the palace people carrying the chariot to be lighter and slower.
"Cheng Jing returned to the house the day before yesterday, and I happened to bump into him getting off the carriage of the Jiang Mansion and entering the mansion directly through the back door, very carefully." Jialan's voice was so soft that only I could hear it clearly.
I sat on the chariot and didn't respond.
“…… Although Lord Meng was locked up in prison, this Lord Jiang had a very good relationship with Lord Meng. It is said that he has been in and out of prison several times, and even met Queen Meng, who is now under house arrest, alone. Jialan looked around and continued.
"Do you think that Cheng Jing and Master Jiang are close and have something to do with Lord Meng?" I asked softly, and it stands to reason that it couldn't be.
Lord Meng was imprisoned, and although the power of the Meng family should not be underestimated, it was not as good as it was then. Cheng Jing is the biggest beneficiary of Lord Meng after he was imprisoned, and earlier because of Lord Qu's affairs, Cheng Jing made a steady rise in the first place, and succeeded Lord Bei in the former court, so that Lord Meng's desire to arrange his students to succeed him to this position was frustrated, and he had offended Lord Meng.
And Lord Meng was imprisoned, and there was a vacancy in the director of the Central and Southern Council, so it was naturally Cheng Jing's dominance. Cheng Jing was already in power at this time, and with the inevitable gap between him and Lord Meng, there was no need for him to get involved in Lord Meng's affairs.
“…… I learned in Chengfu yesterday that since Lord Meng was imprisoned and lost power, the main forces have been absorbed by Lord Jiang. Now, Queen Meng and Lord Meng rely on Lord Jiang to maintain their relationship, and Lord Jiang wooed Cheng Jing, but Cheng Jing did not refuse. "Walked to a palace gate, two maids came out of it, and when they saw Bu Yuan, they stood aside and bowed down, Jia Lan had to stop for a while, lowered her head and followed Bu Yuan to continue walking, and walked past the two before she began to speak again." I've confirmed that Lord Jiang did unite Lord Meng's previous forces with the purpose of crusading against you. ”
"Crusade against me?" I laughed.
"Cheng Jing did agree to Lord Jiang's conditions, and they are ready to crusade against you in the name of Queen Meng, so as to restore the former status of the Meng family in the court. Cheng Jing discussed with Lord Meng, they would let Queen Meng pretend to be pregnant, and in the name of seducing the king and killing the prince, they would force Yuan He to kill you and restore the status of Queen Meng and Lord Meng. Jialan said carefully, for fear of being heard by a third person.
"How dare they say that I killed the prince?" I think it's very ridiculous, after all, at that time, it was me who sacrificed my own children to blame the Meng family. Now it is really difficult for the Meng family to blame me for the same reason, not to mention that Queen Meng has to pretend to be pregnant. "Could it be that Yuan He doesn't know that the child in Queen Meng's womb is real or fake!"
"There is no need for Yuan He to know or not, as long as they can make the people of the Manchu Dynasty and even the Yu Kingdom believe that your child's miscarriage is fake, and Queen Meng's child is real, and it is you who want to kill Queen Meng's child in the name of this, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will have a hard time arguing." Jialan said.
I have to admit that Jialan's words are indeed very likely. It's just that she took the risk to tell me this, and it really didn't make me wonder her motives, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Jialan was silent for a few moments, then she turned her head to look at me, a bold move, even at the risk of being discovered. "For Bilo."
She came to me, and sure enough, it was because of Biluo. I just can't figure out what this has to do with Birlo.
She saw my concerns, so she said. "Cheng Jing wants to kill Biluo. He won't kill the child in Biluo's womb, but he will kill Biluo, once he kills Biluo, no one can prove that Biluo is indeed not his child, he needs to prove himself, and he also needs an heir to a family. If you take the opportunity of forcing the palace this time, he can prove that Bi Luo once gave you medicinal materials to help you frame the Meng family, once you have an accident, Bi Luo will not be able to escape death. ”
Sure enough, the most sinister is always the human heart.
But I still don't understand what reason Jialan has to do so many things for Biluo, after all, I once saw it with my own eyes, and she wanted to kill Biluo. It's just that now, it's not time yet, "I know what to do, you go back." ”
Jialan didn't respond, and continued to walk beside Bu Yuan.
"By the way, I need something." I thought about it for a moment and said to Jialan, who hadn't left yet.
Jialan looked back at me, understood what I meant, and nodded.
Bu Yuan walked to a palace gate in front of the dormitory, turned towards the dormitory, and took advantage of the palace people to carry the Bu Yuan to turn around, Jialan disappeared behind the palace gate.
"Madame......" After the step stopped, Cui Xi stepped forward to help me down, glanced to the side, and asked stupidly, "Madam, is there no one over there in the first place?" ”
I followed her look, and it turned out that she was pointing to the right side of the chariot, and the side that Jialan had just followed. I was like, "Anyone?" I didn't pay attention. ”
With that, I walked towards the dormitory. Cui Xi didn't want to ask again, so she had to bow her head and help me walk inside.
Won Hyuk had already gone down to court, and when I walked into the dormitory, he was flipping through the scrolls in the study, and when he heard a voice, he just raised his head. I had just glanced at him, but I stopped and withdrew the hand that was being held by Cuixi. Cui Xi also understood, and bowed her head and retreated.
I walked over to Wonhyuk.
"Where did you go?" Won Hyuk smiled and put down the scroll in his hand.
"It's too boring to be idle, so let them go out with me for a walk and talk to Concubine Yun." I walked up behind him, leaned my hand on his shoulder, and glanced at the book on the case, "Hey, isn't this the one I was looking at earlier?" ”
"When I saw you spread out on the bookcase, I wondered what kind of books you read when you were bored." Yuan Hyuk flipped through the scroll, "Yibu Jinian, how can you be interested in Yibu?" ”
"Did I tell you the story of the two women related to Xiong Lie?" I asked, leaning against him.
"The Bear King?" Won Hyuk thought for a moment and asked.
"Well," I replied, "I've met his Lady Aster, and I've had some incidents with Lady Aster, and I've been with her when Lady Aster committed suicide for some reason. ”
"Oh?" Won Hyuk began to be curious. "Tell me about it."
"But the story is sad." I reminded him, and then began to speak, "The first time I saw her, I just thought she was a little different from other Yibu maids, but I didn't think much of it. Then, Xiong Lie was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to be a woman in his Quxiong camp, so he invited Mrs. Aster to accompany me. I only knew at that time that she was Xiong Lie's side wife, because she asked me to help her find her sister, so I talked to her a little, and she told me that her sister's name is Ziyuan, she is very rebellious, and she likes Xiong Lie, but she married Xiong Lie, and Ziyuan ran away from home. ”
"And then? Have you found Azusa Garden? "Yuan Hyuk cares about the ending, or rather, what he cares about is that he knows my temper, since I promised Mrs. Aster, I'm afraid I will do my best, Mrs. Aster died next to me, whether this matter has the same impact on me as the Mrs. Li in the Chengfu back then.
Thinking of the days when I was in the Quxiong camp, and thinking of Ziyuan, I still feel uncomfortable. "Found it."
"That's good." Won Hyuk's reaction with relief actually made me feel a little surprised and comforted.
"She's dead," I said as I said those three words, my heart throbbing inexplicably. "She killed herself in front of my eyes......"
Yuan He was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of something wrong, "But didn't you just say that when Mrs. Aster committed suicide, ......"
"Mrs. Aster, it's Ziyuan. They are twin sisters, with the same appearance, but different tempers. The one who likes Xiong Lie is actually his sister Ziguan; Xiong Lie's favorite is his sister Ziyuan. And Ziyuan has a person in her heart who she really wants to hide, Ziguan and Xiong Lie have a marriage contract, but because Xiong Lie likes Ziyuan, he only agreed to marry Ziguan as his wife, but before they got married, Ziguan fell ill and died...... When Ziyuan went back, she was forced to marry Xiong Lie instead of her sister, Xiong Lie had a knot in his heart for Ziguan, but he kept looking for Ziyuan, Ziyuan was forced to marry Xiong Lie, but had to hide his identity until Ziyuan chose to commit suicide in order to protect her beloved...... In fact, Xiong Lie had always doubted, he just didn't dare to confirm that Mrs. Aster's death was in Xiong Lie's calculations, and she was like an abandoned chess piece. I finished the story quietly.
Won Hyuk's eyes were complicated, as if such a story had already touched him. After a long time, he spoke quietly, "As a tribal leader, he must sacrifice everything to protect his tribe. But as a man, he was sorry for those two women. ”
I have to admit that Wonhyuk's answer finally gave me a trace of warmth in this cold memory.
My heart felt a lot better, because it felt like someone finally understood my thoughts. Someone felt that Ziyuan's death was not worth it.
In this story, I didn't tell him about Jiang Yan being that mysterious person. "Pity this world, the sacrifice is always a woman who is powerless to change. Xiong Lie obviously suspected that she was Ziyuan, but he refused to confirm with her, he killed her, and almost found her. ”
"Not all the people in this world are as ignorant and unsympathetic as Xiong Lie." He patted my hand on his shoulder, which was already the best comfort.
"If it were you, would you sacrifice me?" I waited for a long time before I asked this sentence faintly.
Wonhyuk's hand, which was still clapping my hand, froze after hearing me ask.
I could clearly feel the change in him at this moment.
Slowly, I tried to withdraw my hand from his.
Wonhyuk grabbed me violently and said, "No. ”
He said he wouldn't.
After saying this, he solemnly turned to look at me sideways, "Whatever it is, it's not worth exchanging with you. You're the one I sacrificed everything to protect you, you know. ”
I smiled at him, "With your words, I will be content, no matter what happens in the future, you can rest assured, I will not blame you." You've given me enough happy memories these days. Won Hyuk was a little stunned, I leaned down and hugged him, "Make the choice you should have made, if you sacrifice me, you can ......"
I didn't go on.
Wonhyuk's body trembled, he wanted to break away from me, maybe he wanted to see my expression at this moment.
But I hugged him even tighter.
"Ugh." I heard him sigh in my ear, and he said, "How could I sacrifice you?" ”
He gently patted me on the back and told me. "Leave all this to me to handle, and you will happily prepare to go to the Yuwen Family Ancestral Temple to worship your ancestors."
……
You know that he will not sacrifice you, but you still say that to him, aren't you taking advantage of him? You're just trying to achieve your own goals and make decisions for him, and you've pushed him into a plot you've devised completely. If you use him like this, and use someone who treats you sincerely, won't you be a little reluctant?
In the dead of night, I put on my coat and walked out of the dormitory, and I asked myself.
And the other me, as if to say, I won't, I won't be reluctant, if Yuan He really cares about me so much, he won't hesitate for so long, he does like me, but just like Yuan Jue in the past, he is also reluctant to accompany another woman by his side. So he watched them prepare to force the palace, and looking at his reaction today, he didn't realize what those people were going to do, but he was still hesitating, because he didn't know who to let die and who to let live. And I just want to live.
That's right, that's it.
He said that he was different from them, but for me, he was no different from them. It is undeniable that Yuan Jue cares about Qu Jie, so it cannot be denied that Yuan He cares about Meng Yunhui.
Xiong Lie would abandon his Ziyuan at such a last resort, so I had to guard against Yuan Hyuk giving up my chess piece at that time.
I can only ask for self-preservation.
Gods and demons only become Buddhas in one thought, they become demons. I've lost everything, and I can't let anyone else slaughter me, I just know what these men think, so I won't let Won Hyuk have a chance to hurt me again.
……
"Your Majesty, Ma'am."
Zhao Sheng bowed down from outside the hall and walked into the study and saluted us. (To be continued.) )
