Chapter 81: Getting Back to Peace
As Zhao Rongxian approached, a smell of egg custard accompanied by shallots wafted out of the bowl, I haven't eaten much since yesterday, and I should be very hungry at the moment, but I don't have any appetite at all.
The pictures in my mind are all pictures of Fang Cai, as well as the pictures of my father and mother who were sent to Yinzhou.
My heart was so confused that I waved my hand, and I was weak, "I can't eat." ”
"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it." Zhao Rongxian immediately grimaced.
With that, he came closer to me with his bowl in his hand.
I don't have an appetite, but it doesn't feel good in my stomach.
I thought about it, sat up by myself, and said softly, "Okay, lord, I'll eat it myself." ”
Zhao Rongxian saw me get up, and immediately had a smile on his face, "That's right." ”
"Lord, if you hadn't come today, I really don't know what would have happened." I looked up at him, my eyes reddened, and the fear in my heart still didn't dissipate.
I was terrified, afraid that it would happen again, and even more when I thought of my brother and the calamities that might have happened sooner.
I wiped my tears, tried to calm myself down, and asked him again, "Lord Wang, it is said that these things should have happened in three or four years, but now they are all in advance." ”
Obviously, Zhao Rongxian also realized this, his brows frowned, and his face became extremely dark for a moment, "Yes, everything is ahead of schedule." Originally, your brother should have been the fourth grade of the official residence to be the scapegoat of the third brother, and was raided by Prime Minister Jiang Cheng. But now, everything has changed, and now your brother is not used by my third brother, and Prime Minister Jiang Cheng does not dare to do it casually. However, he became a thorn in my third brother's side, and he asked the queen to insert a needle in the seams. ”
Zhao Rongxian listened to a lot, I was confused, didn't my brother deliberately frame my brother because Jiang Wan was jealous of my position as a concubine in my previous life? In order to deal a fatal blow to me, so that the baby in my womb cannot be born.
How did it get to Zhao Rongxian's mouth, but my brother was the scapegoat of King Jin.
Also, what he just said that my brother has now become a thorn in the side of King Jin, what is the reason for this?
Is it because my brother is helping Zhao Rongxian do things? But my brother didn't do anything openly, and even according to his current rank, he might not be able to help Zhao Rongxian.
None of these things are as simple as I thought?
In my previous life, it was true that my brother was framed not because of me, but because of ...... He himself was involved in this battle for succession.
If this is the case, then our Bai family will never be able to get rid of these swords and swords.
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, forcibly suppressed the horror in my heart, and asked Zhao Rongxian tremblingly, "What the prince just said, what happened to my brother who became the scapegoat of King Jin in his last life?" And also...... Now that my brother has become a thorn in his side, what's going on? Do you mean that now my brother is being sinned, but he has been framed by the king of Jin? ”
"Ah Huan, don't get excited." Zhao Rongxian gently pinched my shoulder and sighed, "In the past, I was always worried that you would be afraid, so I couldn't tell you many things, including the things your brother did for King Jin, and the things I did to your brother......"
What do you mean? What am I afraid of? What did my brother do again? What did Zhao Rongxian do to my brother again?
I looked at him in a daze, with a bad feeling in my heart, and stammered and asked him, "Lord, what do you mean by this?" What did my brother do for King Jin? What did you do to my brother again. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Rongxian's expression became more and more empty, and he couldn't help lowering his voice, "If I say it, you can't be angry." ”
What am I angry about? Even he once wanted my life, I have been relieved, what can I be angry with him?
I gave him a look and motioned for him to say.
Zhao Rongxian paused, his expression was a little heavy, "Back then, your brother was used by the third brother, and he didn't give me a lot of stumbling blocks." The last time, he slandered me for corruption, so I took the plan and took the third brother and the army, but in the end, he pushed your brother out. At that time, I had a grudge against your brother, and I ...... and handed him over to his father......"
So...... On that day, our whole family was assigned, all because of Zhao Rongxian, he fought with the King of Jin, and my brother participated in it, so my brother became a victim, and our Bai family became the biggest victim.
My brother died of illness from the fight......
But why at that time, I heard the maid in the house say that Jiang Wan was jealous of me, so she asked her father to frame my brother.
Writing all this together actually has nothing to do with Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan is just a scapegoat?
Zhao Rongxian, isn't he afraid that I will be angry? I'm afraid that I can't stand the stimulation when I was pregnant at that time? So of course it'...... Just let Jiang Wan carry everything? But even so, I didn't save my baby in the end.
Hearing Zhao Rongxian's words, I should have been angry, but after going through so much, I also understood that I couldn't help myself in the royal family, so I felt that there was nothing to blame.
It's just that I'm wondering, what's going on now? Now why has my brother become a thorn in the side of King Jin again, does he owe King Jin or what? I convicted him in my previous life, and I was so cruel to him in this life, and now no one knows where he is.
In my previous life, I just couldn't figure out these things about the government, so that I lived a lifetime again, and I still suffered many losses.
Now I'm going to figure it out anyway.
I put down the spoon in my hand, looked up at Zhao Rongxian, and asked him suspiciously, "According to the prince's meaning, in the past, my brother was just a victim of your game with the King of Jin, and he was guilty of the King of Jin." But what's going on now? He is just a six-grade official, and he has never explicitly helped you, how did he become a thorn in the side of King Jin for no reason? ”
Seeing that I was not angry, Zhao Rongxian seemed a little surprised, but he only paused slightly and did not ask me anything. Then patiently explained to me, "Now, your brother is a member of the household, my third brother, wants to profit from the household, your brother is not too cooperative, and he has repeatedly asked your brother to be his guest, but your brother did not agree, and now he is hindering him, he is naturally unhappy." ”
"Coupled with the queen's support, they all want to use each other, so there is such a play. Before that, the queen deliberately summoned me to the palace, and when I was halfway through, I found out in time, so I rushed over with Chang Xiu. ”
After explaining this, Zhao Rongxian didn't seem to believe it, and asked me again suspiciously, "Are you really not angry?" ”
When he said this, there was a slight panic in his eyes.
In the past, I always felt that Zhao Rongxian didn't care about me, and I hated him because of all the things he had done, thinking that he treated me falsely.
But now that I think about it, he was actually trying to change everything, so he was good friends with my brother and my cousin.
Now that something like this has happened in our family, he risked being blamed by the emperor and used the soldiers in the hands of General Weiyuan, in Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he was a big taboo.
He can be like King Jin and ignore our Bai family.
But he still came, which was enough to prove that he cared about me.
Moreover, he was in the royal family, and it was difficult to survive, in fact, looking back on the past, some of his actions were not incomprehensible.
After all, there are some things that he doesn't do, and he may be the one who dies.
Who would want to give up his life to fulfill someone who is against him?
Raising my eyes to Zhao Rongxian's somewhat flustered gaze, I couldn't help but smile.
"What do you mean by that? What are you smirking at? Zhao Rongxian saw that I didn't speak, and smiled at him, and suddenly panicked, thinking that I was too scared today and scared out of trouble.
Hurriedly touched my forehead again, full of worry, "What's wrong with you?" You okay? ”
In the past, I always thought that Zhao Rongxian was unfathomable, insidious and vicious, but it was not until this moment that I realized that he was sometimes very simple.
Just like now, when he saw me smiling at him, he became more and more anxious, and got up to go out to find a doctor.
I hurriedly grabbed him, and I smiled more happily, "Zhao Rongxian, what are you panicking about, I'm fine." I just looked at you so flustered, and I thought it was funny for a while. ”
Zhao Rongxian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, he let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at me helplessly, "What do you say you are doing?" Surprise me, I'll be you...... When you just can't stand the stimulation too. ”
"Look at what you said, I've died several times, what's so much more I can't stand it?" I'm really making him laugh now.
Catching up with Zhao Rongxian's puzzled gaze, I gently added, "Lord Wang, don't think too much about it, if such a thing had been put in the past, I would definitely be angry." But now that I've been through so much, I also know that it's not easy for you. ”
"Today, you can risk being killed by your father to help our Bai family, I ...... What can I blame you? I got up and slowly leaned into Zhao Rongxian's arms.
Zhao Rongxian's hand froze in the air, as if he was startled by my words.
I suddenly took the initiative to hug him, and he couldn't believe it.
After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly sighed, "I thought that in your heart, I was only ruthless and lustful for power." ”
"If I had thought so, I wouldn't have even looked at you if you were seriously injured that day." I grabbed him tightly and whispered, "Do you know that I'm really scared today." I thought I was going to die. But when you came, I felt at once that all bad things would pass, and I knew that you would protect my ......."
In two lifetimes, it was the first time I had said so many words to Zhao Rongxian, and it was also the first time that I took the initiative to hug him.
I thought, if you can't escape everything if you are separated, why should you be separated? It's the most important thing to live well now, and I'll talk about it later.
This night, although I was a little frightened, I still slept peacefully, because Zhao Rongxian had been watching me from the side.
He didn't leave until I fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I heard Du's mother say that he had only left this morning, and when he left, he had left Liang Feng and several government soldiers in Baifu.
As soon as I left the room, I saw Liang Feng wandering around the courtyard.
When he saw me, he immediately saluted me and said respectfully, "Princess." ”
"Where did the prince go early in the morning?" I always feel that I still have to ask, what happened like that yesterday, how could King Jin give up?
How can there be no movement at all?
Liang Feng didn't speak, which made me even more anxious for a while.
So I asked him again, "Is the fourth prince okay?" Will the emperor blame him? ”
Hearing this, Liang Feng squeezed out a smile on his face, as if he was deliberately hiding something, "Princess, don't think about it, the prince has just set up a military industry, even if His Majesty wants to blame, he will not do anything to him." Besides, yesterday's incident was not the king of Jin, it was he who insulted the royal family. ”
"Really?" I glanced at him and I always felt that it was not very steady.
But I asked a few more questions, but I didn't ask why.
So I didn't ask anymore, Liang Feng has always been loyal to Zhao Rongxian, if Zhao Rongxian doesn't let him say anything, he will definitely keep his mouth tight, I just ask a hundred times, and I can't ask anything.
For the time being, I'd better go and see my father and mother, and my grandmother, who have lived a long time, but where have they ever seen such a battle.
So, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I went straight to my father and my mother's yard.
By the time I passed, they were all up.
My father was walking around the hall, and my mother was holding the white ingot, and her face was extremely pale and sitting on the chair in the hall.
Looking at them like this, it seems that they haven't eaten yet, and I think they were scared last night.
I cautiously stepped into the hall and whispered to them, "Daddy, mother." ”
"Ah Huan, what do you say about this? Your brother...... Your brother will be fine, right? As soon as my mother saw me, she immediately put down the white ingots and walked towards me crying.
To be honest, I don't know if my brother will be okay.
Now, I don't even know if Zhao Rongxian will be fine.
But I didn't dare to say this to my mother, I smiled far-fetched, and pulled out Zhao Rongxian to comfort my mother, "Don't worry, mother, I asked the prince, and he said it would be fine." My brother's matter is still being investigated, and I haven't made up my mind. Yesterday's incident was also King Jin's, so my brother will come back safely, and our whole family will come back safely. ”
Although I said this, I was actually extremely flustered in my heart, especially when I thought of Liang Feng's stumbling appearance, I was even more flustered.
"That, mother, you haven't eaten yet, right?" I looked at my dad walking around, pulled him to the stool again, and persuaded him, "Okay dad, don't go around, my eyes are glazed." ”
"You sit down first, let's do whatever we want, otherwise my brother will be fine, and when I come back, I will see that we are all thin and jerky."
After comforting my father, I went back to my grandfather and grandmother's yard.
Grandfather and grandmother Xu couldn't stay in their own house, so they also went to the yard of their father's mother, and there were only a few people in the family, and they didn't do business, so they all nested in the house and sighed.
I was terrified all day, and the next few days, I was terrified.
Because in the next few days, I didn't see Zhao Rongxian again, and I couldn't hear any news from outside.
Everything seemed to be peaceful, but it was because it was too calm that it made me more and more afraid.
Finally, on the fifth day, all the soldiers in our White Mansion were withdrawn, except for a few secret guards.
Liang Feng also left in a hurry, saying that Zhao Rongxian was seriously injured in order to save the emperor, and his life and death were unknown at the moment.
He also said that Zhao Rongxian had a big quarrel with the emperor before he was injured, and was locked up in the palace by the emperor and did not give him food for several days.
The reason for this is because he has mobilized the army without permission, which is a big taboo, and one will be charged with rebellion if he is not careful.
But these are not the things that worry me the most now, what worries me the most is that Zhao Rongxian was injured again.
He had been injured before, and now he was making a fuss.
After thinking about it, I decided to take a look.
When I arrived, there were many people inside and outside the palace, and it seemed that they were all from the palace.
I stepped all the way through the door and saw Liang Feng in the courtyard.
Liang Feng saw that I wanted to go into the house, so he grabbed me and said in a low voice, "Princess, you better not go in yet, Your Majesty is here, and the Yang family is still by your side." ”
The emperor is coming? Or did you come with the Yang family?
I forgot, because my brother's incident was so sudden, that she forgot about the Yang family, so that at this moment she was more and more pampered and arrogant in front of the emperor.
Now that she is following the emperor, she must not really come to see Zhao Rongxian, maybe she still wants to do something.
If I go in at this moment, it will definitely cause disputes, and maybe the Yang family will retaliate.
I thought about it, and I just stood aside and didn't move.
Liang Feng didn't know what was wrong today, but suddenly became a little more talkative, he glanced at me, and said in a low voice, "Princess, the prince is making trouble like this, but it's all for Lord Bai!" ”
"What do you mean?" I was immediately confused by what he said.
Liang Feng glanced at me, lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know, the prince was called into the palace by His Majesty before, but he was punished, and he bent the law for personal gain because of you. But since last night, the prince blocked a knife for His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed to whatever the prince said, and forgave him for moving the army without permission. Early this morning, at the behest of the prince, he ordered a thorough investigation of Lord Bai's affairs. ”
This...... How can all this be so coincidental? Why did it happen that at this time, the emperor met the assassin? Zhao Rongxian also blocked a knife for the emperor, so that he was stabbed half to death.
This...... None of this was designed by Zhao Rongxian, in order to deceive the emperor's trust and help my brother, he used a bitter trick?
I was stunned in my heart, raised my head slightly to look at Liang Feng, and asked him in a low voice, "Lord Liang, is the prince ......?"
"Yes......" Liang Feng glanced inside slightly, and said to me in a good voice, "So princess, at this time, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive, otherwise you will live up to the prince's kindness." ”
Liang Feng is afraid that I will speak disrespectfully for a while, and anger the emperor again? Or does it have a deeper meaning? Want me to come back to accompany Zhao Rongxian?
Still, no matter which one he wanted to say, I would do it.
Now that Zhao Rongxian has put himself in for my brother, how dare I drag him back.
I nodded and responded to Liang Fengdao, "Don't worry, Lord Liang, I will never cause trouble." ”
"Okay, I'll go to Qinghui Courtyard to avoid for a while, and the province will run into Your Majesty and the Yang family."
"Your Majesty, this Bai Clan is really a disaster star that has brought disaster to the country and the people! Look at what the four princes have become, and they still intercede for her brother. "I just wanted to leave, and suddenly Yang Suxin's voice came from behind.
Immediately afterward, I heard the emperor's voice.
"Stop...... "He's calling me?"
Obviously, I cautiously turned my head and saluted him respectfully, "The people knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"Okay, you Bai Clan, you still dare to come." The Emperor's face was gloomy, and he was so angry when he saw me that he looked like he was going to kill me.
Obviously, these days, the Yang family has been sowing discord around him.
The emperor was originally dissatisfied with me because I cheated to death before, and Zhao Rongxian divorced me again, so that he was very faceless as a marryer, and now that such a thing has happened, he must be eager to kill me.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Rongxian was still uncertain about his life and death on the hospital bed, I believe he would have found a random reason to behead me.
Therefore, no matter how ugly he spoke, he fell to his knees and remained motionless.
"Your Majesty, don't say it, this Bai clan is really beautiful and pitiful, no wonder the fourth prince would quarrel with you over her."
Yang Suxin said, looking at me intentionally or unintentionally.
It seems to be hinting to the emperor that it was I who bewitched Zhao Rongxian, and it was I who used my pitiful appearance to force Zhao Rongxian to quarrel with him over me.
I still lowered my head and didn't speak, at this time, I could only pretend to be pitiful, and I could only let the emperor beat and scold.
In the end, Zhao Rongxian is still sick, if the emperor wants my life in his courtyard, it will be a betrayal of Zhao Rongxian's life-saving grace to him.
And as long as I let him vent his anger, there won't be any big trouble today.
But if I had spoken, he would have found a reason to kill me.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yang Suxin seemed a little unwilling, she glanced into the room slightly, and said with a distressed face, "Your Majesty, thinking that a few days ago you made the fourth prince so angry that he couldn't sleep all night, and the concubine was very sad. ”
Didn't she mean that Zhao Rongxian had a conflict with the emperor because of me?
Hearing her words, the emperor's face really became even more ugly, he glanced at me coldly, and asked me coldly, "Bai Shi, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Knowing what to do? What do I know wrong? If I know my mistake, I will admit that I bewitched Zhao Rongxian, and I will definitely be tortured. If I don't know what is wrong, I will be disobedient to the emperor.
"What do you mean by what Your Majesty said?" I thought about it for a while, and simply asked the emperor.
"You...... How dare you question Your Majesty! You lowly ...... who has brought disaster to the country and the people"
"Yang Suxin, why are you here again? You slut? I want to use dirty means to climb our prince's bed! Before Yang Suxin finished shouting, Mama Li in the backyard suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and slapped Yang Suxin in the face.
