Chapter 191: Promotion by Merit

"Whose girl is this?" Now Qiao An is disfigured, although it is not unrecognizable, but it is far from the previous flower and moon appearance, as soon as the lord asked, the lady also got up and stared at Qiao An for a while.

"This is ......" Mrs. inquired, "Zhong Xuan, whose girl is she?" ”

"Joan." Li Zhongxuan smiled happily and pulled Shen Qiaoan to salute the second elder, both of them were stunned, they couldn't imagine that the beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower before had become like this at this moment.

Madame reminisced about the past, couldn't help but hold Qiao An's soft twing, pulled Qiao An to a secluded place, and said gently: "I am optimistic about you, although you have become like this, but after all, your family background is good, you can still find a wishful husband." ”

He also said: "Over the years, the little county lord has been very good to Zhong Xuan, it is a match made in heaven, and the Holy One is sympathetic to my family!" A holy decree in the Dragon Court, that little county lord is already my daughter-in-law......"

When Shen Qiaoan heard this, he was saddened.

From the suggestive words of the lord and the lady, she understood that it was time for her to leave. Her self-esteem, in the irony of Madame's neither soft nor hard, was completely torn apart.

Even when Shen Qiaoan went, Li Zhongxuan didn't notice it.

After returning triumphantly, the house took over the wind and washed the dust for Li Zhongxuan, and the banquet arranged was very rich, he didn't realize that he had eaten two more cups, and before nightfall, he was already faint.

Qiao An came out of Li Zhongxuan's house and wanted to go back, but in the night, she walked while asking for Mrs. Gang's words, and unconsciously walked to the Hongqiao. On the Hongqiao, looking at the carved buildings in the distance, she felt very sad.

I guess I'm a scourge!

Otherwise, why did Li Zhongxuan go through so many hardships when he was close to him? She wasn't involved in his life before he was so smooth. Why didn't Mu Chenxuan become a cripple because of himself?

When she thought of this, she had no intention of going back.

"What are you doing here?" Thinking about it, but suddenly heard a male voice behind him, Qiao An hurriedly turned around, and suddenly saw that it was Chen Huaiyi.

Chen Huaiyi was meritorious because of the report, and at this moment, the merit was offset and he was exempt from sanctions, and the emperor's grace was mighty, allowing him to be an ordinary person.

In fact, for many years in the palace, the pampered life always made him worry, and now everything is gone, but he is comfortable.

"Look at the scenery." Qiao An pointed ahead, but turned around, Chen Huaiyi and Qiao An stood shoulder to shoulder, and sneered, "You're not happy." ”

"Who says I'm unhappy?" Shen Qiaoan dodged Chen Huaiyi's gaze in embarrassment, "At this moment, this is a happy situation, why am I unhappy?" ”

"Joan, let's leave Zhongjing." In fact, this request was so abrupt and presumptuous that even Chen Huaiyi regretted it after saying it, and he would definitely not get any response.

But at this moment, Shen Qiao'an was emotionally frustrated, and he was already disheartened, and being reminded like this, it was like an initiation, since everything in the imperial capital was over, why not really find a safe haven to live?

Like his mother, he is left to fend for himself.

"Let's talk about it again." Shen Qiaoan walked down the stairs.

Chen Huaiyi didn't chase after him, seeing Qiao Anshan go away, his hands were on both sides of his lips, and his voice was very loud - "I'll wait for you." ”

Qiao An was suddenly moved, and stared back at him for a long time.

On the second day, the celebration banquet was held in Luming Garden, and the civil and military officials basically arrived, and getting rid of the big poisonous weeds of the county king was a very happy thing for the court and the royal family and nobles, and everyone waited and waited what reward there would be next.

And when everyone saw Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng coming, they all talked enthusiastically, "Li Gongzi, young and promising!" Young and promising! General Cheng's blood and strength are strong, and he has made such a great contribution to my Zhongjing, and this great military achievement is to be reinstated today. ”

It was the officials of Honglu Temple who congratulated them, probably there would indeed be some special arrangements today, and the courtiers all gathered around, and the praise made the proud General Cheng fluttering.

He was enjoying the feeling of being in the spotlight, but on the other hand, Li Zhongxuan was different, Li Zhongxuan seemed to be very ordinary, and he never seemed to care about these unexpected joys.

"What are you looking at?" General Cheng bumped Li Zhongxuan with his elbow, and early in the morning, he found that Li Zhongxuanyun was absent-minded and sullen, Li Zhongxuan looked around, and within his line of sight, he didn't see Shen Qiaoan.

Has the imperial court forgotten Shen Qiao'an? But she put the colored flags, and entered the stronghold twice in life and death, before she led the army to fight, isn't Joan the uncrowned king in this victorious battle?

General Cheng saw through his heart, and smiled when he ate and laughed, "The court does not crown girls, and that glory will be added to your head." ”

Suddenly, the emperor appeared, he smiled heartily, everyone congratulated in unison, the emperor praised the two of them differently at the banquet, speaking of Li Zhongxuan, the emperor looked apologetic, "I misled Chen Huaiyi before, and it made Chen Dongye dizzy, at this moment you have proved your innocence, and I am also happy." ”

After eating the banquet, the emperor in front of everyone, sent the civil officials to wear flower feathers, there were Honglu Temple officials holding the holy decree to come, an old eunuch held the holy decree, opened the male duck voice to recite.

The content of the decree was so gripping that people were listening. The emperor gave a big red robe to General Cheng, and the officer was reinstated, and he was still promoted from the general of the chariot to the general of the country.

As for Li Zhongxuan, from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, he was canonized as the secretary of the Sanpin Military Department, and the two kowtowed to thank the lord Longen.

The culprit Chen Dongye, because of the crimes of planting the party and plotting to usurp the throne, etc., was executed, and on the day of the beheading, it caused a sensation among the people of Zhongjing.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm bringing people to execute them!" The supervisor took out the signature and threw it in front of Chen Dongye, and someone escorted Chen Dongye and divided the five horses into corpses, which was unbearable.

The onlookers were frightened.

After the execution, Chen Huaiyi, who was spared from death, stepped forward sadly and collected the body of his younger brother.

In the afternoon, Li Zhongxuan's promotion to the secretary of the military department was well known to everyone in the imperial capital, and the lord and his wife were overjoyed when they saw Li Zhongxuan returning. The little county lord Guo Jingning had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw Li Zhongxuan coming back, he danced happily.

Li Zhongxuan couldn't be happy, and even, his emotions were very different from those of others, others laughed, but he was sad.

Li Zhongxuan is not an insider about the virus in Luhuai, so he doesn't know why Qiao An would hide from him. Today, he went to the house, Ji Huan and his wife saw Li Zhongxuan, and they were as close as family, but when they talked about Shen Qiao'an, the three of them were dumbfounded.

The lady and the old man thought that Shen Qiaoan had been with Li Zhongxuan for several days, but Li Zhongxuan thought that Qiao An had lived in a simple house after he came back, and everyone found out that Shen Qiaoan was gone.

The lord is anxious, and the lady is worried.

Everyone searched, but Shen Qiaoan disappeared out of thin air.

In the wilderness, in the graves of early autumn, there are jackdaws chirping. One knelt beside the tombstone, burning paper money and muttering.

"Daddy! Brother! At the beginning, I advised you many times not to do evil, but you always didn't listen, and now my father is in a different place, and my father died young, if you want to listen to me, why is there today's result? ”

He cried bitterly, there was no voyeur here, and the emotions he had suppressed for a long time, like a broken bowstring, collapsed out of control at this moment.

Chen Huaiyi plans to use this torrent-like crying to mourn them, wipe away his tears from now on, forget everything, and become a new person.

After crying, Chen Huaiyi left, his face resolute, very different from before.

It seems that Chen Huaiyi, who was so fragile before, no longer exists, and Chen Huaiyi at this moment has become another powerful wolf-like existence.

Chen Huaiyi went down the mountain and was surprised to meet Qiao An here, and Shen Qiao An had just paid tribute to his mother's clothed tomb.

That was what King Yu meant, he suggested "picking" Shen Shuanghua to "return to the roots", Qiao An met Chen Huaiyi here, and knew that the earth-shaking cry just now was made by Chen Huaiyi.

But observing Chen Huaiyi, he found that his face was slightly aggrieved and painful, and seeing this, Qiao An smiled softly.

"I want to go outside Beijing, I still have a month to go." Joan coughed slightly, and she clenched her fist, and there was a brilliant scarlet in her fist.

"I'll find someone to cure you, and I'll make you better." Chen Huaiyi's eyes are as bright as a star, Chen Huaiyi knows very little about his condition, but Qiao An is not optimistic.

She is terminally ill, she knows her illness too well, and she doesn't want Li Zhongxuan to see your ugly side. And the last time I went to Li Zhongxuan's house, the dislike of the lady and the lord for her was clearly expressed in the conversation.

Madame used a seemingly homely tone, suggesting that Qiao Anmo was going to gain an inch, and he didn't want to get close to Li Zhongxuan and kill him.

She understands all the subtle disgust.

At this moment, she is extremely prostration, and she wants to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible, Qiao An thought, since she can't be with you, she simply bless you to be with the right person, so enough.

Joan is going to say goodbye.

Li Zhongxuan was running around looking for Shen Qiao'an on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was busy with the promotion of officials, and he only realized at this moment how comfortable his previous life was with idle clouds and wild cranes. Wait until the emperor summons him to go to the court, and he doesn't need to be in the court every day.

Nowadays, even what the court says will be recorded by the historians, but General Cheng is much better, he doesn't need to go to Zhongjing every day to attend the court meeting, just do the routine things that patrol the city and border defense before.

After the end of the day, Li Zhongxuan hurriedly left the Qiankun Palace and went to find Shen Qiao'an, who had already contacted General Cheng before, and once there was news over there, he would send someone over to tell him.

Just came out of the imperial city, before he got on the horse, General Cheng arrived, "Lord Li, Qiao An's news gradually has eyebrows......

Li Zhongxuan looked to the side, pulled General Cheng to a secluded place, "Take a step to speak." ”

General Cheng has also been investigating Shen Qiao'an's traces in the past few days, and told Li Zhongxuan everything at this moment, Li Zhongxuan was overjoyed, only to know that Shen Qiaoan wanted to go to Shenjia Village.

After having this news, the two urged the horse out of Qixia Gate, and saw Qiao An in the Ten Mile Long Pavilion.

It turned out that Qiao An's departure had alarmed her family and friends, and the people who saw her sister Ji Qiaohui and her sister Mingyue off, Ji Huaizhou, and even the crippled Mu Chenxuan arrived.

"I'm going to send Joan off too." General Cheng was a little annoyed, if he wanted to talk about friendship, he always felt that his relationship with Shen Qiaoan was closer than a few of them, but Shen Qiaoan did not invite him alone.

"This time, you have to take care of yourself, remember to come back every once in a while." Ji Qiaohui moved her feelings, wiped her tears with her eyes, and Mingyue next to her grabbed Shen Qiaoan's sleeve and refused to let go.

There were very few people who knew about the matter in Luhuai, and the careless General Cheng thought that Shen Qiaoan had recovered, but he didn't tell Li Zhongxuan about it.

Before the meeting, Qiao An said that he was infected with the wind and cold, and told everyone to take the pills for prevention, so they could have close contact, but at this moment, everyone was emotional, Shen Qiaoan was afraid that the situation would be bad if it continued, and he didn't say goodbye, so he solemnly saluted you and got on the boat.
