Chapter 363: Enlightenment
Turning around in the back mountain, but has not found the place where Xian'er guarded the tomb for her mother, I was thinking about whether the old emperor was fooling me, but I saw that halfway up the mountain, the curling green smoke rose with the wind, and I saw it very clearly. He was overjoyed, and his pace quickened a lot, and he ran straight to the place where the green smoke rose.
There is still a distance of dozens of zhang, and you can see a large piece of bamboo forest lush and clear, and the bamboo shoots have just emerged and are growing vigorously. There is a hut in the bamboo forest, all made of empty bamboo, which is very light and simple. Thinking of the situation I saw in Longquan Village outside Hangzhou, Xian'er's mother's nature likes cuizhu, and Xian'er must be here.
He took two steps forward and called softly, "Xian'er, Xian'er-" The bamboo forest was empty, silent, and no one answered.
Walking to the front of the bamboo house, I gently pushed the bamboo door, there was a soft squeak, the door opened, and I saw a table and two chairs in the house, an embroidery bed, and nothing else. The house is clean and tidy, spotless, and there is a touch of good sandalwood, and the fragrance comes from bursts, which makes people feel refreshed. Such an elegant place, it must have been specially cleaned up by Xian'er to commemorate her mother-in-law, Lin Wanrong nodded, and inspected the house, but did not see Xian'er's shadow.
There is still a lingering fragrance in the house, indicating that there must be people living here, but I don't know where this girl has gone. He went out and continued to walk into the forest, and after a short walk, he heard a crisp murmur of water reaching his eardrums, and a small clear and shallow stream appeared in front of him, which actually flowed down from the mountain.
Tracing the river, the first thing that catches your eye is a moss-covered mossy mound, nestled on the side of the stream spring and the side of the bamboo forest. A plain figure, kneeling on the ground with his back to him, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was crying, and beside her, the fire paper that had just been burned was still warm.
"Xian'erβ" he called softly. The woman kneeling on the ground trembled when she heard this, and hurriedly turned around, and a plain face appeared in front of her, with beautiful thin eyebrows, clear eyes, a slightly squirming cherry mouth, and crystal tears on her cheeks.
"Xianggong-" Xian'er let out a terrible cry, threw herself into his arms, hugged his powerful body tightly, and cried bitterly.
"Cry, cry." Lin Wanrong gently patted her shoulder, her heart was full of pity: "It's good to cry." β
Xian'er fell into his arms, her shoulders trembled, and she cried as if she was about to lose her breath, and the tears soaked the placket of his chest.
Lin Wanrong hugged her tightly in her arms and sighed softly. is obviously a princess of Dahua with a beautiful country and a noble status, but she witnessed a human tragedy with her own eyes and turned against her father. has been wandering outside for so many years, and I don't know how she survived the hard work and sadness, which is really hard for this girl. Speaking of which, Sister An and Xian'er's experiences are really similar, they are both the same wanderers and home, no wonder their master-apprentice relationship is so cordial, they almost surpassed her husband and me.
"Hey, why is there a stream?" Lin Wanrong whispered softly in Xian'er's ear, and her tone was very surprised.
Qin Xian'er raised her head and glanced around, her beautiful big eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she sobbed: "Xianggong, what did you say, what creek?" β
Lin Wanrong smiled and scraped the bridge of her nose, slowly wiping away the tears on her cheeks: "If you want to cry again, don't say it's a stream, even the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, there will be a few more." β
Qin Xian'erxiu's face turned red, she snorted, suddenly got out of his arms, turned her head away with a pout, and said softly: "What are you doing here, why don't you go to your Qingxuan?" β
This girl still remembers the events of that day?! It's hard for her to remember. Lin Wanrong took her little hand and said with a smile: "I don't want anyone today, I just think about my good fairy." Xian'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are getting more and more beautiful, tsk, look at how clear this eye is, how ruddy this little mouth is, I think it will not be a few days, you will be the first beauty in the world, I will be the husband of the first beauty in the world - the first prince in the world. β
Qin Xian'er was originally a smart and clever woman, if someone else slapped her on the back, she didn't even bother to listen, but this person was none other than Lang Jun, who she personally selected, hearing his words, her heart was happy, her face was hot, but she snorted stubbornly, refused to look at him, and said: "You said so many good things to coax me, did you touch the nail in your Qingxuan and take me to have some fun?" I am the number one beauty in the world, so how many Xiao Qing is in the rotational rank? β
This little vinegar jar really has some taste, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Of course you are the first - tied." Xian'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I think badly - don't make a fuss, come, my husband will weigh you, see if you are tall or short, fat or thin. β
"Ahh Qin Xian'er originally thought about him, but these days she was awkward, and she desperately held back her lovesickness and didn't look at him, but when she saw it today, she was surprised and happy in her heart, so she threw herself into his arms and let him go.
Putting down Xian'er's weak and boneless delicate body, Lin Wanrong buried her head in her hair and took a deep breath, raised her head and said with a long breath: "My Xian'er is getting more and more fragrant." Alas, little girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you fat in some places and thin in some places? β
"Where am I fat?" Qin Xian'er snorted, her delicate little nose wrinkled, and she pouted: "People think about you every day, and I finally met you, but you called the name of the woman I hate the most, can I still get fat?" β
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding." Lin Wanrong snorted embarrassedly, and said without skin and face: "Otherwise, when I see her in the future, I will also call your name, so that everyone will be tied." β
"You think it's beautiful, I don't want you to see her." Qin Xian'er pouted, and said, "You say, where am I fat?" β
"Of course I'm fat." Lin Wanrong grinned, her eyes fell on her plump breasts, swallowed her saliva and said, "Here, it's big again!" My little boy is getting more and more perfect. β
Qin Xian'er snorted lightly, her jade face turned red, and her heart was shy, but she proudly straightened her chest, letting him see enough.
Lin Wanrong's claws stretched out, and she was about to compare the size, but she saw Qin Xian'er's eyes red, and two lines of tears slowly dripped down.
"What's wrong, Xian'er?" He hurriedly changed his touch to grasp, took her little hand and said, "Aren't you happy to see your husband?" β
Qin Xian'er glanced at him, and suddenly hugged him tightly, tears flowing: "Xianggong, did you forget me?" β
"How is this possible? Xian'er, you can't wronged me, I just forget the sky, the earth, and the air, and it is impossible to forget the little obedient Xian'er. Lin Wanrong touched her conscience and swore to the sky.
"However, you know that people are waiting for you in the palace. Why don't you come to see me all the time? Qin Xian'er muttered: "I know, you have the Xiao family's two foxes and girls with you, and you must have forgotten me a long time ago." β
"Alas, Xian'er, you also know, I am a man, how can I enter the palace casually? I don't know the emperor well, he wants to know that I have come to pursue you, and he must not stop me desperately? These days, I have been thinking about it day and night, pondering it morning and night, and finally taking advantage of the emperor's summoning me today, I made a plan and learned of your whereabouts, so I hurried here. Lin Wanrong said without blinking, and said silently in her heart, old man, I have wronged you.
"He dares to ?!!" Qin Xian'er snorted angrily: "He promised me, as long as I return to the palace, he will give it to you-" She blinked her eyes and hurriedly stopped talking.
"Give it to me? What to give me? Lin Wanrong was taken aback and asked, "Xian'er, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you." β
"I know, you want to ask me why I suddenly returned to the palace, right?!" Qin Xian'er glanced at him carefully, lowered her head and said softly: "Xianggong, don't be angry, I really didn't mean to hide it from you." When the master urgently summoned me to Beijing, I didn't know what she was going to do. The master said to me, if you have such a great ability, if you are buried in the people, it will be a pity, if you want to find a way to help you, just ask me to go back to the palace to see. On the one hand, to make a false deal with that person and help you get ahead, and on the other hand, to assassinate him-"
"Assassination ?!!" Lin Wanrong gasped, this Sister An could really think of it, and asked her daughter to assassinate her daughter. An Biru asked Xian'er to enter the palace to help her, in fact, to put it bluntly, she still wanted to attract the attention of the old emperor by herself, so as to get close to Ning Yuxi. , This Ann fox has done so many things without telling me, and she has never reported to me, fortunately she ran fast, otherwise, I would have beaten her little **.
"Xian'er, did you really assassinate the emperor? Could it be that today's business is youβ" Lord Lin asked cautiously with his eyes wide open, bared his teeth, and cautiously. With Anbiru's cunning and cunning, anything is possible. Obediently, this matter is not a joke, not to mention the assassination of the emperor and the nine clans, or the daughter of the daughter to kill the old man, this is the great rebellion of the great rebellion.
"Don't interject, listen to me first." Qin Xian'er glanced at him lightly, and said in a coquettish voice, her eyes were gentle and beautiful, indescribably delicate and beautiful.
"Okay, okay, you can say it quickly." Lin Wanrong reined in her mind and listened to Qin Xian'er continue to speak.
"The master persuaded me for a few days, I thought about you in my heart, and I thought about avenging my mother, and finally agreed. The master said that my mother was buried in the bamboo forest on the mountain behind this Xiangguo Temple, and that person would come here every spring, so I waited here. You also know that I look very similar to my mother, and when the man saw me, he recognized me, and he was overjoyed to take me back to the palace. Qin Xian'er glanced around, as if she remembered the situation of that day again. The person in her mouth is naturally the current Dahua Emperor, but the relationship between their father and daughter does not seem to have recovered.
Lin Wanrong shook her head secretly when she heard this, Sister An also underestimated the old emperor, she thought that the old emperor didn't know about the existence of Xian'er, but as everyone knows, the old emperor had already found out Xian'er's life experience and appearance, and sent someone to protect it secretly. If he hadn't been worried that Xian'er's background would be used by King Cheng, he would have taken Xian'er into the palace a long time ago.
"So, you asked him to promote me as a condition for you to return to the palace?" Lin Wanrong asked with a wry smile, no wonder the old emperor's attitude changed so quickly, it turned out to be because of the relationship between Xian'er. However, with the old emperor's city, if it is really to save his daughter, he only needs to promote and reuse me, and there is no need to give a plaque or a house. It seems that it is Lord Lin whose true talent and learning have played a role, and he comforted himself.
Qin Xian'er saw that he looked depressed and was very concerned about this matter, and she panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, I just want to help you." In fact, with your ability, you are thousands of times stronger than those dog officials who do nothing and bend the law for bribes. β
How can things be so simple, much more complicated than this, Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, stroked Xian'er's hair and said, "What about later?" Did you assassinate him later? β
Xian'er nodded, lowered her head and said, "After I returned to the palace, I lived in the residence where my mother used to be. Originally, I was waiting for an opportunity to do it. Everything was ready, but one day when I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I accidentally found a letter written by my mother in the past. It turns out that her mother is, she isβ"
Xian'er turned around and glanced at the green mound, crying and unable to continue. Lin Wanrong sighed lightly, he knew in his heart that the reason why Xian'er was able to find the letter so coincidentally must have been done by the old emperor, which was carefully planned and arranged by him in order to avoid the tragedy of cannibalism between father and daughter. Let Xian'er discover the truth by herself, which not only saves Xian'er's face, but also saves the relationship between father and daughter, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"And do you still hate your father now?" Lin Wanrong took Xian'er into her arms, hugged her tightly, and asked softly.
Xian'er curled up in his arms like a kitten, hugged his broad shoulders, and cried, "Hate! Of course I hate him! If he weren't going to be the emperor, where would anyone come and assassinate him? If no one assassinated him, how could my mother be willing to die to save him? How could I be upside down, and even have to come so late for so many years to keep filial piety for my mother? I just hate him, hate him. Xianggong, he is not my father, I hate him! β
Qin Xian'er became emotional, hugged him and cried bitterly, her liver and intestines were broken, which made people feel sad when she saw it.
Lin Wanrong gently patted her weak shoulder, but she didn't know what to say. This is really a confused account, the old emperor's pursuit of unification is not a wrong thing, but even if he has a thousand intentions, he probably wouldn't have thought that he would be the emperor, and it would have become an excuse for his daughter to hate him, which is really unpredictable.
Qin Xian'er cried for a while, slowly recovered, and said softly in his arms: "Xianggong, my mother is buried here, only a few people know, did he tell you to come here to find me?" β
"I'll tell you about that later." Lin Wanrong stroked her smooth hair, sighed and said, "Xian'er, let me ask you, you just said that the emperor comes to the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple every year, what is he here for?" Is this bamboo building built by him? β
Xian'er snorted: "My mother is dead, even if he comes for a hundred years and builds a hundred buildings, what's the use?" Can he atone for his sins? β
Lin Wanrong shook her head with a smile and kissed her little cheek: "Silly girl, if love is also a sin, then we are guilty." β
Qin Xian'er was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said in disbelief: "Xianggong, what are you talking about, does he have any feelings for my mother?" In the past, when I was in Jiangnan, he was just a plaything for my mother, and I didn't believe that he would miss my mother. β
"People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless?" Lin Wanrong sighed slightly, took her little hand and said: "The emperor is also a human being, he is opposite to your mother day and night, and gave birth to you, this is a flesh and blood family relationship that can never be parted." To say that he has no affection for your mother at all, I absolutely don't believe it. It's just that as the Venerable of All Saints, he has a deep mind, and everything can't be easily exposed, let alone easily express his feelings, which is a kind of depression and the price of being an emperor. β
Qin Xian'er listened as if it was clear and not clear, contemplating and contemplating, and her expression was very focused.
"Although your mother's death was because of him, it was not caused by his subjective will, just by virtue of his decades of coming here to pay tribute, it is enough to show that he is not as you think, but has a deep affection. It is true that he is the emperor who reigns over the world, but he is also a husband and a father. You lost your mother and your father overnight, but if you think about it from another angle, didn't he lose his wife and his children? He's just as sad as you are, except you can cry out loud, but he can't say anything. Xian'er, if he is not a parent, he doesn't know the heart of his parents, he may be wrong to be the emperor, but as a father, he has not done anything wrong. Lin Wanrong sighed bitterly, thinking of her elderly parents who she would never see again, and her heart was sour.
"Xianggong, Xianggong." I don't know how long it was silent, Xian'er pushed him, and shouted softly in his ear. Lin Wanrong wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "What's the matter, am I not right?" β
Xian'er shook her head, looking at him dementedly, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Xianggong, are you crying?" β
"No, how could I cry? It's too windy! Lin Wanrong laughed and admonished: "Xian'er, in fact, take 10,000 steps back, have you ever thought about why your mother left a letter to enlighten you?" She just doesn't want you to turn against your father because of this, if she is still alive in this world. Will she be happy to see your current relationship? β
"Xianggong, let me think about it, my heart is so messy." Qin Xian'er said faintly: "You have to hold me tightly, and you are not allowed to move." β
Lin Wanrong grinned: "You can hold it tight, but since you came to my mother-in-law's grave, I will bow a few times, this is always the way it should be." β
Qin Xian'er's face turned red, she was shy and happy, and hurriedly sat up from his arms. Lin Wanrong knelt down in front of Qin Ruxian's grave and kowtowed respectfully. Qin Xian'er knelt on the ground according to him, and said with tears on her face: "Mother, Xian'er and Xianggong have kowtowed to you together." β
A faint breath sounded softly, and an old man in gorgeous clothes with a sickly face stood in an unnoticeable corner in the distance, looking at the two kneeling on the ground, and a mist rose in his eyes.
"Master, it's getting late, it's time for you to go back." The blind old man Wei supported him beside him and said softly.
"Concubine Qin, Ni Shangβ" The old emperor's lips slowly squirmed, and his voice was so small that even the old man Wei beside him couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Master, with Lin San's enlightenment to Princess Nishang, there shouldn't be any problems, you better go back and rest early." Old man Wei said respectfully.
"Let me stand for a while, accompany Concubine Qin, accompany Nishang-" The old emperor sighed slightly, looking at Princess Nishang who was happily nestled in Lin San's arms in the distance, his eyes were full of love. After standing for a while, he suddenly spoke: "Xiao Weizi, what do you say this Lin San likes the most?" β
"Like?" Old man Wei was stunned for a moment, if you want to say what this kid likes, silver, beauty, it seems that none of them have been left behind, everything is in his pocket. "The minions don't know." He bent over and said.
"What he likes most is freedom, and it's imaginative." The old emperor's face was full of smiles: "Then I will give him freedom and let him play freely." The northern land is so big, and it is both desert and grassland, enough for him to make trouble. β
"Your Majesty, do you mean Hu Ren?! You're going to let him lead the troops?! Lao Wei was shocked.
***********
After the two worshiped in front of the grave, Xian'er was full of joy, last time it was to worship the master, this time it was to worship the mother, and he and Xianggong were perfect. Lin Wanrong found a hoe tool to repair Qin Ruxian's tomb, although Qin Xian'er was dressed in plain clothes, but she followed Xianggong's side, her mood was happy, and her smile was much more.
After finishing these things, it was already sunset, Lin Wanrong remembered what she told Ning Yuxi to do, I don't know what happened, will this girl slip away?
Seeing his restless appearance, Qin Xian'er said strangely: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" β
Lin Wanrong's expression tightened, and she took her hand and said, "Xian'er, let me tell you one thing, don't worry." Qin Xian'er snorted and nodded: "Xianggong, you say, I won't be in a hurry." β
Lin Wanrong stared at Xian'er's beautiful cheeks and said slowly: "This morning, the emperor was assassinated!" β
The expression on Xian'er's face changed sharply, sometimes surprised, sometimes angry, but her little hands became cold, her beautiful eyes were closed lightly, and two tears rolled out of her eye sockets: "Xianggong, is he seriously injured?!" β
Thinking of what he saw with his own eyes today, he didn't want to hide it from Xian'er, so he nodded honestly and said, "In my opinion, the injury is very serious, I'm just afraidβ"
Qin Xian'er stood up, wiped away her tears, and said in a coquettish voice: "Xianggong, let's go!" β
