146. There is no turning back
In this Qingguo Mansion, Mei stood at the door of the hall, angry, and said angrily: "Stop him for me!" ”
Several subordinates stepped forward one after another, but they were beaten down by Fu Shaoyun in a few clicks. Fu Shaoyun pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, his face was unprecedentedly cold, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, he pulled the bridle of the horse's body, stood upright in front of him, looked at Mei Shi and said: "Mother, what is wrong with Sister Xi'er, why don't you agree with me marrying her?" If you don't agree, I will take her out of the capital and go to Jiangnan and Guangdong, and I will not hinder your eyes. ”
Mei was almost angry with him, thinking that he was a ghost. "The Su family has already married the Luyang Hou Mansion, where do you want to take her? Hire as a wife, run as a concubine, if you really dare to take her away, I will never admit that there is such a daughter-in-law in the family! Without the words of your parents and the life of the matchmaker, you can only be regarded as a matchmaker without a matchmaker......"
Mei Shi was anxious for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fu Shaoyun's face sank. She immediately stopped, for fear that Fu Shaoyun would really run away from home on impulse, so she softened her voice and persuaded: "Brother Yun, think about it, isn't the family thing that my mother told you bad?" The dignified Peugeot of the Ministry of Rites is standing with you, and it is better than that Suxi......"
Fu Shaoyun had substituted for her many times before, asking her to go to the Su family to propose, but Mei's always looked down on Su Xi, feeling that Su Xi had neither appearance nor talent, where could he be worthy of his son? Born round and round, not to mention, her mother Yin and herself don't deal with it, if you really get married, don't you find yourself unhappy?
Mei's dragged on and on, who knew that there was news that Su Xi had married Li Yan of the Luyang Hou Mansion. She thought to herself, this time her son should die. Unexpectedly, after Fu Shaoyun learned the news, he was devastated, he didn't eat for three days and three nights, and he said early this morning that he would leave the capital with the daughter of the Su family, and he didn't even want his father and mother.
Before Mei finished speaking, he saw Fu Shaoyun suddenly kneeling on the ground straight, kowtowing to her three times, and then turned over on the horse without saying a word, and without waiting for everyone to react, he rode out of the Qingguo Mansion.
"Brother!"
It wasn't until Fu Yi's voice sounded that Mei Shi came back to his senses, only to feel his blood surging up, and he was dizzy, "Brother Yun!" ”
Fu Shaoyun left the Qingguo Mansion and went directly to the back door of the Su Mansion.
Just as the people from the Luyang Hou Mansion came to hire, the things were carried into the Su family one by one, and the chief steward was beaming with joy on his face, directing his subordinates to do things. The old lady Su Qingbo and the eldest master Su Zhen were both smiling and talking to the people of the Luyang Hou Mansion.
Fu Shaoyun stopped suddenly, looked at the dowry, and suddenly remembered what Mei had just said - "Hire as a wife, run as a concubine." ”
If he impulsively took away the young child, then she would not be able to have a name for the rest of her life. Besides, she has already been married, he has never asked her wishes, is she willing to go with him? What did she think of him? What if, she and Na Li Yan are in love?
Fu Shaoyun gradually calmed down, and he was reluctant to let the young bear the grievances for his own selfish desires. But when she thought that she was going to marry someone else, she was full of unwillingness.
The sky was dark, the twilight was four, Fu Shaoyun stood from dawn to dark, the place was hidden, but no one found him.
Until the people who gave the dowry were gone, the door of the Su Mansion slammed shut, and his heart shook with the door, and then fell heavily.
Fu Shaoyun stood outside the gate of Sufu for a day and a night, and the next morning, he rode away alone, without alarming anyone. He didn't go back to the Qingguo Mansion, nor did he leave Beijing, but he just walked through all the places he had taken Su Xi to, the Imperial Peace Building, the Jade Building, and the Four Seasons Pavilion...... Every time I go to a place, I can think of Su Xi's pink apple face, she has a round figure, not a beauty in the eyes of the people, but Fu Shaoyun thinks she looks the best like this, especially when she laughs, her big eyes are bent into a pair of crescents, so sweet that his heart is about to melt.
……
Ten days later, the people from the Qingguo Mansion finally found Fu Shaoyun. He was sitting in a tavern, and he had drunk all his wine, but he was not sober.
The family of the Qingguo Mansion went up to help him, he staggered to his feet, his face was as white as paper, and he fainted after taking a few steps. Fu Shaoyun's illness is more than half a month, and the doctor said that alcoholism has hurt the spleen and stomach, and he needs to be nourished, and he can't drink anymore in the future. But Fu Shaoyun turned a deaf ear and drank the wine as water, Mei was so anxious that he couldn't do it, crying and scolding, but he didn't kneel down and beg him.
Half a year later, Fu Shaoyun heard the news of Su Xi and Li Yan's marriage, and touched the place on his chest, only to feel that it was empty and had been dug up. Later, Mei forced him to marry Bai Tan, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and he nodded, but he was numb.
On the day of marriage, he wore a red wedding robe, and the wedding silk led the bride, which was incompatible with the surrounding festivities. Fu Shaoyun forgot how he spent that night, and only felt that it was long, hopeless, and thoughtless.

Let's talk about the Jin Palace.
Wei Feng also reached the age of kissing, Jin King Wei Liankun and the first assistant of the cabinet Yin Zhouxing have known each other for many years, and after discussion, they decided to marry Wei Feng and Yin Mengming, the second girl of the Yin Mansion.
Wei Feng thought for a long time before he remembered who Yin Mengming was. He didn't have any special thoughts about women, he just felt that it was like dressing and eating, it was a need. If it weren't for Yin Mingming touching his scales, he might have married her.
The content of Wei Feng's conversation with Yin Zhouxing was heard by Yin Mingming outside the door, and Yin Mingming used this to threaten him, and if she did not marry her, she would tell the people of the Yu Palace. Who doesn't know that in the past two years, the Yu Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu have fought fiercely, if Wei Yuan, the prince of the Yu Wang, holds Wei Feng's handle, it will be a great threat to Wei Feng.
When Yin Mengming said this, her face was tilted, and there was firmness between her eyebrows, and there was a trace of cunning that succeeded.
However, the slightly trembling arm betrayed her. In the end, he was too young to write everything he thought on his face.
Wei Feng's face was as usual, her thin lips slowly hooked a light smile, the yin owl in her eyes was deeply hidden, she raised her hand, pinched her chin, and her voice was unhurried: "You want to marry me so much?" ”
Yin Mengming pursed her lips tightly, looked at him directly, and didn't say a word.
Wei Feng thought for a while, Shaoqing, "It's not impossible." ”
Yin Mingming's eyes widened, her heart beat rapidly, and she looked at the person in front of her incredulously.
But Yin Mengming didn't know that there was still half a sentence behind Wei Feng's sentence-
"See if you have the blessings to take it."
So Yin Mengming and Wei Feng's family affairs were set, and the date was set for March of the next year. Yin Mengming seemed to be in a dream, but she didn't expect to persuade Wei Feng so easily, with a smile on her face every day, she began to prepare a wedding dress and dowry for herself.
When she thought that the handsome and graceful prince of Jin was about to become her husband, she couldn't hold back her joy. The object of the nobles in Beijing will be her husband in the future...... However, the good times did not last long, not long after, when Yin Mengming was swimming in the lake in her backyard and pinching the lotus canopy, the boat suddenly stopped in the middle of the lake, and the maid in the boat jumped into the water and swam away, and the boat board began to leak and sink little by little.
Yin Mengming shouted for help, but in the depths of the lake, there were half-human-high lotus canopies around her, and she shouted for a long time, but no one came.
Yin Mingming sank into the water in such despair and drowned.
When the news reached Wei Feng's ears, Wei Feng turned a page of the book without changing his face, without raising his eyebrows, "Deal with it, don't leave any clues." ”
Li Hong should be yes and retreated.
In this way, the family affairs of the Jin Wangfu and the Yin Mansion will naturally be stopped. Not long after, the princess of Jin, Yuan, began to be busy watching another marriage for him, and the other party was Han Yufu, the daughter of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. What is the calculation of the Yuan family, Wei Feng knows in his heart that the Han family and the Yuan family have a little bit of kinship, and after Han Yufu marries into the Jin Mansion, the Yuan family can reach out to Yunjin Zhai and find a way out for her two sons.
Wei Feng leaned on the iron wood chair, looked at the carved beams above his head, and suddenly remembered the nine girls of the Su family.
That girl with a round face, delicate facial features, and a sweet voice, I heard that she seems to have married the Luyang Marquis Mansion? The Luyang Hou Mansion is not a good place, it has been declining over the years, and now it only lives on the shadow of the ancestors, and the daughter of the Su family is undoubtedly wronged when she marries there.
Why did you suddenly think of her? Wei Feng raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, closed his eyes, even if he had any ideas, the other party was already married to a wife, and he would not be so deviant and forcibly occupy the wives of others. Moreover, the girl saw him like a mouse saw a cat, and before he could say a word, she ran away. Is he scary? Wei Feng touched his chin, thoughtfully, not really.
*
This thought was just a flash, and afterwards, Wei Feng's life was as usual, and he never saw the nine girls of the Su family again.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he saw Su Xi again, it was when she was dying.
Wei Feng was appointed by Emperor Zhaoyuan to go to the northwest for disaster relief, and on the way back, he passed through Chong'an Mountain and saw a carriage lying on the side of the road. There were two maids in the carriage, unconscious, and there seemed to be people under the cliff, Wei Feng went to check, and saw a snow-blue figure lying in the forest.
Walking up to him and looking at the bloodstained apple face, Wei Feng was stunned.
Su Xi knocked his head when he fell off the cliff, and there were many scars on his body, Wei Feng went over to check, his left leg was broken, his heart and lungs were broken, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save him. He didn't let Su Xi move, immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter, and asked people to notify Su Mansion and Luyang Hou Mansion.
"Cough ......" Su Xi only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and as soon as he coughed, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth. Unconscious, she couldn't see who the person in front of her was, she grabbed the sleeve of the person who came by consciousness, opened her mouth, and her voice was so weak that she could barely hear it, "Mountaintop...... Li Yan ......"
Wei Feng thought that she wanted to see her husband, paused, did not break away from her hand, and said patiently: "I have already ordered someone to inform him, and he will come immediately." ”
But Su Xi shook his head, the more he wanted to speak, the more he couldn't speak. A tear spilled out of the corner of her eye, and she sniffled, finally letting go of his sleeve, slowly closing his eyes, never to open them again.
Half an hour, the people from the Su Mansion and the Luyang Hou Mansion came. The Yin family hugged Su Xi's body and cried uncontrollably, the eldest lord Su Yang also showed mourning, while Su Xi's nominal husband Li Yan stood next to him without saying a word.
The people of the Su family took Su Xi back and vowed to find out the cause and effect of this matter. Later, it was found out that Su Xi went up the mountain with Li Yan that day, and later Li Yan disappeared, but Su Xi was lying alone at the bottom of the cliff. How can the Su family give up at this time, they must let the Li family give an explanation.
Later, although Li Yan admitted his mistake and admitted that he didn't take good care of Su Xi, he accidentally let her fall off the cliff.
Wei Feng felt that this matter was not as simple as that, and secretly asked Li Hong and Chang Hu to investigate, and it didn't take half a day to know what was going on.
On the same day, in addition to Su Xi and Li Yan, Fu Yi, the wife of King Yu, also went to Daci Temple together. On the way back, Su Xi and Fu Yi's carriage lost control at the same time, the horse pulling the carriage rampaged forward, and there was a cliff below, in a hurry, Li Yan jumped into Fu Yi's carriage without hesitation, held the reins, and turned the direction of the carriage.
Su Xi was not so lucky, the coachman was not as timely as Li Yan, and even the carriage fell off the cliff.
That's why there was the scene that Wei Feng saw before.
In order to protect Fu Yi, Li Yan first secretly sent her back to the Yuwang Mansion, and then came back to find Su Xi.
"The prince ......" After Li Hong finished speaking, he saw that his face was sinking like water, and he couldn't help but speak.
Wei Feng retracted his senses and clicked on the desktop, "Go and find out what's going on with Li Yan and Fu Yi." ”
"Yes." Li Hongdao.
With this breakthrough, Li Yan and Fu Yi's affairs are much easier to investigate. Li Yan admired Fu Yi, and there was a portrait of Fu Yi in the study, and he was even involved with Fu Yi in private, and he had never had a round house with his wife Su Xi for two years. When Li Yan married Su Xi, he just used the Su family as a springboard and wanted to take the opportunity to take the position. Now that something like this has happened, the relationship between the Li family and the Su family naturally cannot be maintained, and it completely tears his face.
Wei Feng thought about it and ordered someone to send the evidence of Li Yan and Fu Yi's private collusion to Wei Yuan. Within a few days, the news of King Yu's divorce came out.
Fu Yi did not abide by women's morals, her reputation was ruined, and she was sent to Jingyuan Nunnery.
Half a year later, Emperor Zhaoyuan abdicated, Wei Feng ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and the first one to rectify was the Li family of the Marquis of Luyang.
The Marquis of Luyang planned to ask for the title of the prince for his son and inherit the position of the Marquis of Luyang, but Wei Feng completely deprived the Li family of the position of the marquis on the grounds that Li Yan's "virtue is corrupt and it is difficult to write", and the family was demoted to a commoner and returned to his hometown.
Not long after, it was reported that Li Yan was assassinated on the way back to Yuzhou and killed on the spot.
And Fu Yi of Jingyuanan also committed suicide soon after.
After Wei Feng ascended the throne, he ate and ate all night, and soon disposed of the old stalls left by Emperor Zhaoyuan. In my spare time, I occasionally think of the girl who was under the cliff, a hole was made in her forehead, and a stream of blood flowed down her cheek to her chin, and her eyes were clear and black with a hint of pity. Just like the little girl in Mingjue Temple, she looked up at him, her voice was sweet and glutinous, and she carefully called him "brother".
Wei Feng was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the twists and turns on the case had not been turned for a long time.
Why didn't he stop in the first place? If he had taken the jade bean cake from her hand, would she still be dead?
The next day, after the morning dynasty, Wei Feng did not return to the imperial study, but ordered someone to prepare a carriage and go to the foothills of Qingshui Mountain.
- Su Xi is buried in this place.
Wei Feng tightened the reins to keep everyone where they were, and he drove forward. Looking at the tombstone in front of him from a distance, there was a row of words written on the tablet, and he couldn't see it clearly, he guessed that it should be "The Tomb of Su Xi, the Young Daughter of the Su Family". The tomb is not large, probably because it is often visited, and the surrounding area is very clean, and it is planted with light yellow flowers and plants. In front of the tombstone, there are three plates of dim sum, lotus root flour osmanthus cake, jujube paste yam cake and jade bean cake, the top is clean, maybe it was put this morning.
Wei Feng stood here for a long time, until the sun rose above his head, and he stood for two hours. The eunuch in the back was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to step forward when he wanted to, so he walked to the tombstone, bent down and picked a handful of small yellow flowers, and gently placed them next to the three plates of dim sum. got up and looked at the words on the inscription, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch the words "Su Xi", but he stopped when he lifted it in the air.
He turned back, strode away, rode his horse to meet the waiting attendants, and whipped away, without looking back.
