Chapter 41: Raiding the House
The Zhen family is full of beheadings, but there are three exceptions. The first and second are naturally the head of the Zhen family and his son, King Xuan said that they must pay the price for hurting Liu Mengyan, and the emperor naturally agreed.
Not dead but better than dead, in order to let them know the fear and pain of the victims. King Xuan ordered people to be whipped, cut flesh, and drip wax every other hour, not in a prescribed order, but to draw lots and wait, and torture repeatedly until he died!
There's another one, and that's the queen. The queen was not sad, nor was she asked, she was still smiling like a flower, but on the night of the same day, she committed suicide with a white silk hanging beam!
King Xuan was very helpless when he heard the news, he hadn't avenged her for poisoning Sister Mo'er back then, so he let her die like that, it was really cheap for her!
King Xuan suddenly felt very sad, Sister Mo'er, who gave him the warmest care back then, had already passed away, and the princess who loved him very much was also poisoned, and Bai Yan'er didn't know what to do. The most familiar people are not there.
After Liu Mengyan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and because of the Zhen family, the entire capital was filled with the smell of blood, and everyone frowned.
She had just gotten up when Xiao Lumo happily stepped forward and asked, "You finally woke up, are you still uncomfortable?"
Liu Mengyan moved her body and looked around again: "No, it's okay!"
Xiao Luomo sat on the stool, swaying around with his legs crossed: "But I'm scared to death, what's going on with your blood, it keeps flowing!"
Liu Mengyan spread her hands helplessly: "I don't know, it's probably a side effect of the holy fruit." I am also desperate for the blood to keep flowing, maybe one day, I fall while walking alone, break my leg and faint without being found, because the bleeding can't be stopped, I may go directly to see Lord Yama! ”
"What nonsense!" Xiao Lumo glanced at her with disdain: "With your fierce appearance, are you sure you can faint just by falling?" He hadn't forgotten what he looked like at the first glance when he saw Zhen Yan.
On that head, the head that could be smashed was bleeding, although there were not many injuries, but it was the first time he had met a woman who dared to hurt Zhen Yan. If they hadn't arrived in time, Liu Mengyan's fate would have been very miserable, but fortunately, they arrived!
Liu Mengyan rolled her eyes silently, this is just an ordinary rebellion, okay, it is a thought that they don't have in their time. If this is called Biao, what is the name of a modern female man? Is it a real man?
At this time, the maid brought a bowl of pig's blood porridge, and Xiao Luomo hurriedly took it and brought it to Liu Mengyan: "Don't roll your eyes, hurry up and drink the tonic tonic!"
Liu Mengyan took the fruit bowl, blowing and drinking at the same time: "No wonder no woman likes you!"
"What?"
"I said, it's hard for you to find a lady like this!" Liu Mengyan keeps drinking porridge, and women all over the world basically like to listen to good things. Not to mention that in this era dominated by men, women prefer to listen to it. And Xiao Lumo's mouth, although the words are not very ugly, but they are not very good, and overall, they are still owed.
"Nettle!" Before the sound of King Xuan arrived, it was a full three seconds before he appeared at the door. Seeing people entering the house, Liu Mengyan had a smile on her face, and she shyly lowered her head to drink porridge.
King Xuan heard that her subordinates said that she was awake, so he hurriedly came over to take a look, and after seeing that she was safe and sound, his heart was a lot more steady. "Guess who's coming to see you?"
Liu Mengyan just finished drinking the porridge and put down the bowl: "Who?" I don't have many relatives! ”
King Xuan pointed to the door: "Look!"
Liu Mengyan looked at it, but she didn't see anyone, only a chair that looked like a single frame was placed at the door. Suddenly, the quilt in the chair moved, and a man sat up inside: "Nettle, I didn't expect to see you for such a break, and you forgot about me~"
"Lan Jun?" Liu Mengyan was very surprised: "Why are you here?"
Lan Jun looked aggrieved: "Can't I come?"
In fact, her mother did not believe the lie he had concocted. Because her mother thinks that her royal daughter-in-law can be a beggar on the side of the road, or a mute. It must be because the mute can't speak, so Lan Jun misunderstood. No matter how Lan Jun explained, the queen mother gave an order, sent him over again, and continued to find the destined person!
Liu Mengyan shouted through the door: "Of course you can, it's just a hundred days of breaking your muscles and bones, you came here in less than two months, and you're not afraid of losing your legs?"
"It's not me running, it's the horse running again, I'm lying in it comfortably!" Lan Jun said triumphantly: "I won't tell you, I'll go back first, you go home, remember to play with me!"
Liu Mengyan naturally hurriedly agreed, after all, it is also extremely rude to let someone else's injured person suffer from the cold outside the door.
King Xuan's face was a little unhappy, and he looked at the back of Lan Jun leaving, although there was no back. "Do you know where he's staying now, Nie'er?"
Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment: "You mean Lan Jun?"
King Xuan: "Yes!"
Liu Mengyan shook her head, she had just woken up, how did she know where others lived.
King Xuan stepped over with an arrow step and put his arm around Liu Mengyan's shoulder: "He lives in your mansion now!"
"Huh?" Liu Mengyan was a little confused: "What are you doing in my house?"
"The Emperor arranged it!" King Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "But it's okay, this king still believes in his character!" It's just the emperor's will, make him angry and embarrass him!
During Liu Mengyan's recuperation, although the emperor did not come in person, he also sent someone to send a lot of decoction and supplements. The injury itself is a skin injury, and it will be almost healed in less than half a month. In this way, I have to say goodbye to King Xuan and return to my own house!
Lan Jun lived in the guest room of the princess's mansion, lying in the courtyard every day to bask in the sun, so uncomfortable.
Seeing that Liu Mengyan did not die as planned, Mo Iran was still very angry. But if you don't die, you don't die, no matter how angry you are, it's useless. After seeing Lan Jun living in the princess's mansion, he came over every day to offer his courtesy.
In order to express the enthusiasm of the house for the guests, Mo Yuanran made snacks for Lan Jun to eat the day before yesterday, and yesterday he personally cooked and fried vegetables to send some to Lan Jun. Today, I got some precious tea, and I came over to share it with Lan Jun.
"Thank you, Miss, Miss is so enthusiastic, it's really a blessing for Nan to live three lives!"
Mo Yuanran covered her small mouth with an embroidered handkerchief: "Where, it is the little woman who can get to know the second prince that is the real luck of the third life!"
Lan Jun smiled: "Hahaha, Miss is really good at laughing!"
"The second prince and my eldest sister are good friends?" Mo Yuanran asked innocently.
"Self!"
Mo Yuanran immediately said enviously: "The second prince is blessed, the eldest sister is beautiful, has a good temper, and the most important thing is filial piety and politeness." We here, how many people want to marry her, but they can't marry her! The second prince has to come on! ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Mo Yuanran looked innocent and cute at this time, as if every sentence came from the bottom of her heart. "Big sister usually pays attention to our younger siblings and often plays with them. Go shopping with my sister, play football with my younger brothers, and swim! ”
Lan Jun lay on the chair and listened to her tell some interesting things leisurely, and gradually developed a good impression of her. I thought she would be jealous or orchestrate her sister, but I didn't expect her to say good things about her sister one after another. There was no concealment of her envy for her sister in her eyes, Lan Jun felt that this girl was really temperamental, innocent and cute. Gradually, I like to bask in the sun with her, chat, eat snacks, and play like my first love.
After Liu Mengyan returned home, she was startled by her sister who suddenly showed her kindness, and thought she had some kind of illness. It wasn't until I saw Lan Jun that I remembered it and realized that this was just for Lan Jun to see.
Seeing her pretending to be innocent, Liu Mengyan wanted to vomit. Ignoring her greetings, ignoring the smiling and cheerful Lan Jun, he walked directly past them and walked towards his own yard!
Lan Jun looked dazed, he didn't offend anyone, why did he come back this time, as if he owed her money, his face was almost to the edge of the sky. "Didn't you say that your sister is usually very polite? But this ......"
"That's right!" Mo Yuanran blinked her big eyes: "This is when the big sister is the most polite, if only I could meet such a good tempered big sister every day!"
"Is this called a good temper? Courteous? Lan Jun asked in surprise.
Mo Yuanran looked at him and nodded violently. Lan Jun suddenly understood a little. I understand why Nettle is angry, I actually regard such a scheming girl as an innocent little girl, and mistake Yumu for a pearl! After understanding this, Lan Jun smiled politely at her, although Lan Jun didn't understand Gong Dou, he was not a fool, a little trick, it was not that he hadn't seen it.
Mo Yuanran sensed that something was wrong with him and asked him what was wrong, but he said that he was sleepy and in bad spirits, and he wanted to go back to rest and rest. So Mo Yuanran also went back to rest.
After seeing her leave, Lan Jun got up and limped forward to look for her. In fact, Lan Jun was already able to walk, but walking too early was not good for his recovery, so he sat in a chair every day and let people carry him around.
When he arrived at Liu Mengyan's yard, he didn't expect Liu Mengyan's anger to be so easy to disperse: "Go, go and play with that innocent little girl, what are you doing here!"
"It's not!" Lan Jun was a little anxious: "It's not Jing'er, I didn't know she had such a scheming at first." If you don't come back, I'll be deceived by her! ”
"Scammed?" Liu Mengyan was rummaging through her former jewelry, and heard that she had a lot of very luxurious and valuable jewelry. While looking for it, he replied, "Are you going to be tricked by her to deal with me?"
"No, no, I'm not that stupid!" Lan Jun smiled and found a stool to sit down, seeing that she had been rummaging around, she asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"Jewels!" Liu Mengyan put all the jewelry she found on top of a large piece of silk cloth, and mentioned it, ouch, it's so heavy. These things, any one hanging on her head, is fatal to Liu Mengyan. After all, the jewelry in ancient times was real gold and silver, big and beautiful, so it was naturally very heavy.
A large bag was placed on the table, and Lan Jun's eyes were about to fall off. "You're too much! My mother doesn't have as much jewelry as you! ”
"The queen of a country doesn't even have this bit of jewelry, what are you kidding!" Liu Mengyan said as she classified the gold and silver, as well as jade and jade, and these things were carefully placed separately. As the saying goes, gold has a price, jade is priceless, all the gold and silver are taken to the pawnshop, and all the jade and jade are kept.
"My queen mother will reward those ladies and young ladies, so even if there is, it will soon be gone, except for the ones she particularly likes!"
"Oh, that's generous!" Liu Mengyan picked up a jade bracelet and wiped it with a handkerchief, she was reluctant to give these to others, all of them were her family property. "Tell your man to carry you up and accompany me to the pawnshop!"
"Oh!" Lan Jun was stunned, returned to his chair, and went to the street with Liu Mengyan. Liu Mengyan does have a lot of jewelry, and the two big men hugged a bunch of them, sweating profusely. The smaller pawnshops are completely unopenable.
still went to the largest pawnshop in the city, and the boss turned over a lot of money to raise all of it for her. Happily came out, holding the bag of gold, and almost didn't take it, a full eight catties of gold, she was about to fly!
"Nettle?" Lan Jun shook on the chair: "Nettle? What do you think? Liu Mengyan was immersed in the joy of getting the gold, and she didn't hear his cry at all.
"Nettle!" Lan Jun yelled and roared her back to her senses: "Ah, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"I said, can you stop laughing so obsessively!" Lan Jun complained: "A full eighty taels of gold and three hundred taels of silver, you see the way you stare at the smile in your arms, whoever sees it knows that you have money in your arms." We didn't have any guards, so you're not afraid of someone coming to rob us! ”
"Bah, what are you talking about, if someone really comes today, you have to compensate me all, and you can't lose a penny!" Liu Mengyan held the gold tightly in her arms, staring at the people around her vigilantly, for fear that others would come to rob her. As soon as Lan Jun heard that he was going to lose money, he quickly shut up and pretended to sleep.
Fortunately, the group of them returned to the house safely, and Liu Mengyan took a shovel on a dark and windy night, secretly found a secret place in her yard, dug a pit and buried the jade, gold and silver she liked. Dispose of all the traces that had been dug up before going back to sleep.
A few days later, on a sunny and soft morning, a man came to Liu Mengyan's room, and when Liu Mengyan saw him, she immediately asked excitedly, "Is there any news?"
The man knelt on the ground and saluted, "Back to the county lord, there is and there is not!" "It turned out that the man was the one sent by King Xuan to find evidence of Mo Yuhang's guilt for her and to find Xiao Curtain.
"What do you mean by whether there is or not, you can tell me about it!" Liu Mengyan is very anxious, and the evidence of the crime can be found slowly, but Xiao Curtain is a living life. And she's still so young, and she's so good to herself. There are not many relatives left, and the small curtain is also one, so she is eager to know the whereabouts of the small curtain.
"There is still no news from Xiao Curtain. However, the subordinates have recently noticed that the colt is unusual! In the past, he used to eat outside, but after the death of the princess, he often brought food for two people into the inner room. Staying in it all the time and not coming out is a phenomenon that was not there before. However, it is also possible that he was sad and depressed because of the death of the princess! ”
Liu Mengyan pinched the corners of her clothes tightly: "It was he who killed his mother with his own hands, how could he be sad because of his mother's death!"
Men said:
"My subordinates will go check it out!"
"Thank you!"
"It's not hard, subordinates should do it!" After the man finished speaking, he secretly disappeared again, as if he had never been there.
Liu Mengyan laughed, she didn't have time to repay her parents in the first life, and she also didn't have time to repay her mother in the second life. It's just that what she didn't expect was that it was her father who killed her mother. A husband who killed his own knotted wife with his own hands!
However, she still couldn't understand why her father killed her mother. Because she didn't feel like he was a man who coveted money and status. It seems that it is time to meet this father for a while!
Liu Mengyan took the maids Xiaoxiao and Xiaohuan that she borrowed from King Xuan, and went to Mo Yuhang's courtyard with some tea and fruit snacks.
"Father! The little girl Liu Mengyan asks to see! Liu Mengyan stood at the door and knocked on the door.
The people inside paused, and only after half a sound did they say, "Come in!"
With permission, Liu Mengyan took the maids in: "Father, since the death of my mother, I haven't come to care about my father, I made some refreshments today, and I invite my father to taste them!"
"Put it down!" Mo Yuhang looked a little tired, his eyes were a little sunken, his beard was a little messy, and he didn't seem to have gone out for many days.
"Yes!" Liu Mengyan asked the maid to put things on the table: "Father, the weather is very good today, and the daughter sees that her father is not in a good state, why don't you let the daughter accompany her father to the yard for a walk?"
"No, you don't." Mo Yuhang waved his hand at her: "My father knows, you are blaming your father, blaming your father for wronging you for killing your mother, blaming your father for sending you to the Zhen family, but you have to understand the suffering of being a father, and being a father is also a last resort, in order to protect the entire princess mansion, I ...... you, I hope you will forgive your father!"
Liu Mengyan's face stiffened, and she immediately returned to her smile: "Where the father said, of course the daughter understands her father's suffering, and naturally she will not blame her father."
Mo Yuhang smiled, picked up the tea brought by Liu Mengyan and took a sip: "It's not good, I've been worried about my father for a long time!"
Lose sleep over something? If you are really worried, don't say that you will look at her, you won't even say a greeting, it's really ridiculous and shameful!
"Father is too worried." Liu Mengyan took the initiative to step forward and hold Mo Yuhang's arm to help the person up: "Although my mother is dead, I can't be resurrected after death, and my father still has to pay more attention to his body." The daughter sees that her father lacks movement, so she will accompany you out for a walk, which is good for her health. ”
Mo Yuhang had already been pulled up, and it was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and went out for a walk in the yard. After the two walked out of the door, someone immediately quickly entered Mo Yuhang's room.
Liu Mengyan took her father to walk in the yard talking and laughing, all kinds of unknown jokes, all kinds of intimate topics, and chatting with relish. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a pair of intimate father and daughter, father and daughter, filial piety, and happiness. The two talked for an hour, and Liu Mengyan sent him back to the room, and told him to rest and pay attention to his body, and not to be too sad because of the death of the princess.
After that, I couldn't wait to go back to my room to check the news I had explored. As soon as she entered the door, Liu Mengyan saw a thin and small figure, sitting weakly on the ground. Liu Mengyan immediately ran over, sure enough, it was a small curtain, she was dirty and messy, her body exuded a foul smell, her hair was knotted and messy, and the smell was stinking.
Liu Mengyan helped the curtain up, ordered someone to bring hot water over, and personally bathed and washed the curtain herself. And the curtain was crying all the time.
