Chapter 26: Revisited
How Lin Niangzi will choose, Feng Zhige is unknown.
Perhaps, even Lin Niangzi herself doesn't know either.
Lin Niangzi lived in Liuyun Pavilion like this, but Lin Niangzi was a proud person in the end, even if she was taken in by Feng Zhige, she refused to stay in the Hou Mansion and do nothing, but asked for an errand from Mama Li.
Mama Li obviously admired a strong woman like Lin Niangzi, so she simply set a monthly schedule for Lin Niangzi according to the helper who signed the living deed from someone else.
In the next period of time, the capital was also much calmer.
Of course, this calm is only relative to the previous bustle of the previous period.
However, this calm did not last long before it was shattered by another piece of news.
Xiao Jingbei, the prince of Anguo, was promoted by the emperor to be the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town!
Since the establishment of the Beizhen Fusi, I don't know how many powerful people in Beijing have targeted the position of the Fusi, and there are also many people who have secretly contributed through their own connections, but the emperor has not said this, but the ministers of the court and the central government are puzzled by this.
Many people have speculated who will end up with the Beizhen Fusi Fusi, but no one expected that this Beizhen Fusi Fusi, who was coveted by many people, finally fell to Xiao Jingbei, who was only crowned this year!
It's not that Xiao Jingbei is transparent in the capital, with Xiao Jingbei's family background, even if he goes through the entire capital several times, the younger generation who can compare with him is only a few people in Liao Liao.
It's just that in the eyes of everyone in the capital, no matter how good Xiao Jingbei's background is, he can't withstand the situation that anyone with a discerning eye can see in the Guogong Mansion now.
If An Guogong Xiao Li is still as healthy as he was back then, then Xiao Jingbei today may be the object of envy and envy of everyone, but An Guogong has been lying unconscious on the hospital bed for more than ten years, and Xiao Jingbei has Zhou Yuran, who is his nominal mother......
Hehe, what is the attitude of Duchess An Guo towards Xiao Jingbei, you can know from her constant assassination of Xiao Jingbei.
In front of Zhou Yuran and the Chengen Mansion behind her, how long can Xiao Jingbei, who is alone, last. No one knows.
In the past, no one was optimistic about Xiao Jingbei, but now, everyone's attitude has changed.
Although Xiao Jingbei had the identity of the prince of An Guo before, he also won the favor of the emperor and had a five-grade errand. But in the end, the foundation is shallow, but Jinyi Weibei Zhenfusi Zhenfu is not his original five-grade errand may be compared, especially Beizhen Fusi really has real power, once Xiao Jingbei has a firm foothold in Beizhen Fusi, I am afraid that the Chengen Mansion will really have nothing to do with him in the future.
When the news reached Feng Zhige's ears. She was standing in front of the window watching Xiaobao and a few little maids who had just grown their heads playing in the yard.
During this period of living in Liuyun Pavilion, Xiaobao not only has a much better face than when he first came, but also has a more cheerful personality, not only does he no longer cry when he can't see Lin Niangzi, but he can also play with the little maids of Liuyun Pavilion for a long time.
Every time Lin Niangzi thought of this, she couldn't help but thank Feng Zhige over and over again.
The carefree laughter unique to children echoes in the yard, making the yard extra lively.
Feng Zhige pulled down a newly grown young leaf from the plane tree in front of the window, and there was some inexplicable mockery in his eyes.
Speaking of which, the name Jin Yiwei, Zhao Tiannan still heard her talk about it back then. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, Zhao Tiannan not only established Jinyiwei in the Dawu Dynasty, but also even had the Fusi of Beizhen.
In the later generations where Feng Zhige lived at the beginning, the name of Jinyiwei was too loud, and Beizhen Fusi, who was the most famous in Jinyiwei, even reached the point of Cheng DΓΉ that made people talk about tiger color change during that period of time.
Although the Dawu Dynasty is not the dynasty that Feng Zhige understands, and the Jinyiwei here is not the Jinyiwei that Feng Zhige knew at the beginning, but who can say clearly, the Jinyiwei and Beizhen Fusi here will not evolve into the future generations?
And the news that Xiao Jingbei will serve as the envoy of the Fusi of Beizhen. But it made Feng Zhige raise his eyebrows slightly.
What is this, a big stick for a sweet date?
Maybe it was because he saved Xiao Jingbei's life at the beginning, Feng Zhige would always pause slightly every time he heard this name.
I don't know. Xiao Jingbei, the envoy of the northern town, what step can he do?
β¦β¦
People are inattentive.
Feng Zhige only thought of Xiao Jingbei during the day, and saw him again at night.
When there was a soft sound from the window, Feng Zhige opened his eyes in the dark, and his eyes were clear, without any sleep. Where is it like a person who has just woken up?
The gentle night breeze blew in through the window, and the light veil covering the stepping bed also moved slightly.
Through the light veil, through the faint moonlight shining in from the window, Feng Zhige saw the face of the person standing by the window clearly, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he finally withdrew the hand under the pillow that he stretched out his hand.
This person, after the last time he came here, is this addiction?
It is said that in the middle of the night, a big man sneaked into the girl's boudoir that had not left the pavilion, no matter how you look at it, it was either a traitor or a thief, but this uninvited guest who entered Fengzhige's room has been standing quietly in the dark place in the corner of the wall since he turned into the room, and then there was no movement for a long time.
It's like a sculpture.
If anyone could see at night, he would surely see that it was a young man in his twenties, with a handsome face cut out like a knife and axe full of a daunting cold aura, his eyes looked at the hazy figure on the bed not far away, as if he was looking at some peerless treasure, and he was reluctant to blink his eyes.
It's been a long time.
The white Hao wrist lifted the thin tent, Feng Zhige looked at the person who was hidden in the darkness and did not move, raised his eyebrows and asked: "In the middle of the night, Xiao Shizi still has a hobby of running to other people's rooms to be a door god?" β
In the silent night, there was a sudden sound, and if you were more timid, you would have been really startled.
Xiao Jingbei was originally thinking about something else, and was suddenly startled when he heard this, but then he relaxed suddenly.
He was sure once again that he would always feel at ease when he was in the company of this girl who was an enigma to him.
Tranquility seems to be a low-hanging fruit for many people, but here in Xiao Jingbei, it is extremely rare.
Thinking of the scene in the afternoon, Xiao Jingbei clenched his fists tightly, and then suddenly let go.
Maybe it's because he's been suppressed for too long so he wants to vent, or maybe it's because he drank the wine in his belly, the first in his life. Xiao Jingbei had the desire and hope to confide in another person.
Well, confide......
Where to start?
After thinking about this problem seriously, Xiao Jingbei decided to start from the source.
"Do you know my father?" After Xiao Jingbei said this, he immediately knew that he had asked a very idiotic question, and Feng Zhige even knew the meaning of the jade unicorn in his hand. How could he not know who his father was?
"My father, Xiao Li, followed the current emperor long before the establishment of the Dawu Dynasty, and then fought with his life several times to save the emperor's life."
"The emperor has mentioned these on many occasions, and he has said more than once that if he didn't have a father. I'm afraid there is no such thing as the current Dawu Dynasty......"
Hearing this, Feng Zhige sat up, holding his chin with one hand, with some playfulness in his eyes.
Why, does she still play the role of a bosom sister now?
If not, why do they want to talk to her?
However, Xu was a long night and had no intention of sleeping, or maybe it was too boring at night, Feng Zhige did not interrupt Xiao Jingbei's words, but listened quietly.
Though. It is conceivable that most of what Xiao Jingbei is about to say, she knows.
"Today, the emperor equates a person with the world, and in the eyes of outsiders, what kind of honor should the emperor have for the Anguo Mansion."
"Heh," Xiao Jingbei's cold face suddenly showed a little more mockery, "Rong Pet? Yes, without the emperor's many favors, how could the Anguo Mansion be what it is now? β
If someone else is here, he may mistakenly think that Xiao Jingbei is grateful. But Feng Zhige, who knew the truth, knew how sad and angry Xiao Jingbei should be at this time.
"Sixteen years ago, on the night when he was forced to marry Zhou Yuran by the Empress Dowager's decree, my father suddenly received a secret decree from the emperor. asked him to go out of Beijing to Huzhou on an errand. β
"There is nothing surprising about such an errand, my father didn't know how many times he had done it in the past, so my father didn't even have time to enter the cave room, so he left Beijing in a hurry."
"I think my father must have breathed a sigh of relief at the time......
Because, at least for the time being, you can not face Zhou Yuran, the newlywed wife who was forced over by the Queen Mother.
It's just that no one thought of it. An Guogong left Beijing in a dignified manner, but when he came back, he was carried back lying down.
Xiao Jingbei was suddenly a little stunned, remembering the news he secretly heard from his father's old department, and was silent for a while before continuing, "Father probably didn't expect that it was just an ordinary errand, but he would encounter so many things, first he was accidentally poisoned in Huzhou, and it happened that there was no doctor in Huzhou who could cure the poison......
Imperial Physician Hu.
Feng Zhige's eyes flashed.
It is precisely because he went to find Imperial Doctor Hu that An Guogong will have the catastrophe in the future.
Xiao Jingbei's indifferent voice was heard in his ears and continued: "But when they found the ancestral house of Imperial Physician Hu, everyone was stunned, obviously the result they heard was that Imperial Physician Hu lived in Huzhou after returning to his hometown, but the ancestral house of Imperial Physician Hu was a dilapidated appearance that had been vacant for many years, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for many years. β
"Later, I inquired from the neighbors of Mrs. Hu's family and learned that Mrs. Hu did return to his hometown and returned to Huzhou, but it didn't take long for Mrs. Hu to fill the house with dozens of people as if they had some strange disease, and they died one by one in a short period of time, so shocked that the neighbors at that time thought they were infected with the plague, and they didn't dare anyone to approach the house of Mrs. Hu's house for a long time."
"A doctor who can enter the Tai Hospital, in the end, is indeed such a way to die, how can it not make people sigh. Perhaps it was precisely because the matter of Imperial Physician Hu was so embarrassing that after his father returned to Beijing after suppressing the residual poison, he actually went around to investigate the matter of Imperial Physician Hu back then. β
"No one knows what secret things my father found out back then, or he didn't find anything, but I only know that not long after this incident, the poison in my father's body that had been solved after returning to the capital actually recurred overnight, and it was far more ferocious than before."
The military general who was far stronger than ordinary people, just because it was actually not a powerful poison, suddenly collapsed completely, and he could only lie on the bed and barely maintain his life, and he couldn't even say a word, let alone explain a few words to his young son.
In the long memories of the little Xiao Jingbei at that time, that day was the beginning of his world turning from light to darkness.
An Guogong fell, although Xiao Jingbei at that time had already asked for the title of prince. But he was only four years old, and of course, the huge Anguo Mansion fell into the hands of Zhou Yuran, the Duchess of Anguo, who had just entered the door and didn't even have time to have a round room with Anguo Gong.
Zhou Yuran never thought of passing the Anguo Mansion to Xiao Jingbei. At the beginning, she still wanted to wait for An Guogong to get better and have a son-in-law in the future, but before that, she had to treat the young Xiao Jingbei at least on the surface, so she and Xiao Jingbei were at peace.
But An Guogong fell asleep day by day, and Zhou Yuran gradually passed away, and she gave up the idea of giving birth to a concubine of An Guogong's mansion. But she was bent on inheriting a child who was related to her from her mother's family to come to the Guogong Mansion, how could she continue to tolerate Xiao Jingbei, who was tantamount to a thorn in her eye?
Even if there are loyal servants left by his biological mother to protect him desperately, over the years, in Zhou Yuran's ruthless assassinations, Xiao Jingbei has still suffered a lot of losses, and he has brushed shoulders with death several times.
Zhou Yuran's viciousness Xiao Jingbei didn't take it to heart, in the face of Zhou Yuran, he thought a lot, he just needed to fight back again and again and live well.
What Xiao Jingbei cares about is the real reason why Xiao Liyi can't afford to be sick.
Xiao Li has never been awake since the recurrence of the residual poison, and even Xiao Li can't afford to be sick. Today, the emperor still has never left any concern for Xiao Li, not only sending his henchmen and father-in-law to visit him every month, but also rewarding countless excellent medicinal materials to replenish Xiao Li's body.
At that time, Xiao Jingbei was growing up day by day, if it weren't for the father-in-law who went to Anguo's mansion on time every month to convey the emperor's concern for Xiao Li and Xiao Jingbei many times, which made Zhou Yuran have some scruples, maybe he would not have grown so big under Zhou Yuran.
At the beginning, Xiao Jingbei was very respectful to the emperor, who often cared about his father's health.
Until one day......
The emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor is so concerned about Xiao Li, and the medicinal materials he rewarded are all extremely beneficial to Xiao Li's recovery, so the people of the Anguo Mansion will naturally not ignore the emperor's concern. When giving Xiao Li medicine, he always gave priority to these rewards from the emperor.
On that day, Xiao Jingbei suffered some losses from the assassins sent by the Cheng'en Mansion, but there were so many flavors missing from the medicinal materials for treating injuries, and it happened that the father-in-law in the palace sent the medicinal materials rewarded by the emperor that month. There were a few flavors of medicine that were missing, and the loyal servants around Xiao Jingbei took it upon themselves to take those flavors of medicine to treat Xiao Jingbei's injuries.
That night, Xiao Jingbei, who had bandaged his wounds, went to visit Xiao Li, and after retiring all his subordinates, he was extremely shocked to find that his father, who had been unconscious for nearly ten years. I opened my eyes for the first time!
Xiao Jingbei couldn't describe how ecstatic he was when he saw his father's eyes at that time.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Xiao Jingbei concealed the news, in order to avoid being discovered by Zhou Yuran, he even quarreled with Zhou Yuran, threatening not to recognize Zhou Yuran's identity as a duchess of the country, and not to let her step into her father's house again.
A child who has not grown up resists his stepmother, although in the eyes of those old pedants, such a move is undoubtedly unfilial, but in the end it is normal, isn't it?
Xiao Jingbei stayed at Xiao Li's bedside for almost a month.
He thought that with this good start, his father would get better day by day, but what he didn't expect was that such a improvement only lasted for a month, and in the second month, Xiao Li fell back into the deathly sleep he had before.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xiao Jingbei, who was thirteen years old at the time.
In despair, Xiao Jingbei always felt that he had neglected something, so he began to carefully recall what was abnormal before Xiao Li woke up.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jingbei suddenly remembered that the medicinal materials that had been misappropriated by him, and that his father-in-law in the palace had fallen into a deep sleep again after he came.
At first, Xiao Jingbei didn't believe in his judgment, after all, in the eyes of everyone, the emperor's favor for his father and the Xiao family was close to the limit.
But Xiao Jingbei is different from the thirteen-year-old son of the family next to him, how many times he has escaped death under Zhou Yuran, except for his father who is not awake in bed, he does not necessarily have some trust in the person next to him, even if that person is the emperor.
Therefore, in order to confirm his rebellious speculation, since then, Xiao Jingbei has never let Xiao Li decoction with the medicinal herbs rewarded in the palace.
As he expected, next month, Xiao Li opened his eyes again.
At that moment, Xiao Li was both surprised and a little chilled.
Father's drowsiness is due to the medicinal materials in the palace, so what does the reason why my father was poisoned overnight have anything to do with the emperor who gave the Xiao family infinite favor?
From that day on, when Xiao Jingbei began to visit Xiao Li through Xiao Li's old department, he quietly inquired about the original matter.
Even, he personally went to Huzhou.
It was also that time, when he was chased to the brink of death by the dead soldiers sent by Zhou Yuran in Huzhou, he met Feng Zhige and was rescued by her.
After all, it is an old thing that has passed for almost ten years, even if Xiao Jingbei has been exploring for a long time, what he has obtained is only some fur, but only these furs are enough for him to judge that his father is indeed because of the current emperor, so he will obviously have recovered but still have poisonous hair.
Although, what Ren Xiao Jingbei thinks, he doesn't know why the emperor would attack a person who was loyal to him and saved his life many times.
Perhaps, this is the bird is hidden in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked? (To be continued.) )
PS: After running to the hospital for a few days, the biggest feeling is that don't get sick if you have anything!
Once again, I wish you all good health in the coming year......
