Chapter Twenty-Six: The Way of Heaven
Hearing the name of Princess Dayi, Li Ronghe suddenly remembered that it seemed that half a month ago, Xie Xuan had come once, and it was rumored that Yun Niang invited her to come over to the house.
It's a pity that she was too busy with Gao Yang and the Gao clan later, so she quickly put this matter behind her.
Thinking about it, Yun Niang couldn't wait, so she took the initiative to find it.
Li Ronghe hurriedly comforted Yuan Yi, who looked frightened, "Don't worry, she came to find me, I'll take a look." ”
After that, he said goodbye to Li Yong and hurriedly walked out with the jewel.
Before arriving at the gate of the East Palace, Li Ronghe heard Yun Niang's noise first.
"I'm a princess! It's a princess! Which of you dares to stop me? Her soaring voice was sharp and thin, and the subordinates of the East Palace knelt down, all trembling and kowtowing, for fear that one would accidentally provoke this ancestor.
Li Ronghe was a little helpless, and took two quick steps to call her, "Yun Niang." ”
Yun Niang heard the familiar voice, her face was happy, and she hurriedly waved at her, pointing to the subordinate who knelt on the ground and used her body as a barricade, "Tell them to let me in." ”
Li Ronghe then ordered, "Here I am, you all go." ”
The palace maids and eunuchs who got the order responded with relief, got up and retreated.
Yun Niang, who was unstoppable, hurriedly ran a few steps towards Li Ronghe, and the first thing she said when she met was disgust, "Why haven't you come to see me all this time?" ”
Li Ronghe didn't answer, he took her back to the palace first, and then instructed Baozhu to invite Qin Lang'er to come, then he closed the door of the room, and said to Yun Niang without hurrying, "Gao Yang is dead." ”
When she heard the news at first glance, Yun Niang was stunned at first.
The shame and resentment on her face suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the charming charm of the past was lost in her eyes, only coldness remained.
It's as cold as a snow-capped mountain that won't melt for thousands of years.
"Gao Yang is dead."
She also repeated, looking at Li Ronghe fixedly, "How did you die?" ”
"I was gouged out, skinned, tortured for half a month, and died of exhaustion." Li Ronghe didn't have reservations, and told her everything.
Yun Niang listened to it and laughed.
But there was no smile in his eyes, only desolation.
It's like a raging flame, all that's left is ashes.
She suddenly fell to her knees and covered her face with her hands.
Tears overflowed between her fingers, and then slid down Yubai's wrist, Li Ronghe couldn't see her expression, only saw Yun Niang's shoulders trembling slightly.
She cried so much that she couldn't help herself, but she still refused to make a sound, and she refused to show her vulnerability in front of others.
Li Ronghe suddenly felt a little sorry for her, walked over and put his arm around her shoulders to help her up from the ground and sit down on a chair.
After crying silently for a long time, Yun Niang finally stopped her tears.
Lifting his head between his fingers, his expression had returned to normal, except for a ring of red in his eyes.
"You have helped me, I have nothing to repay, if there is any use for me in the future, just say it, I will do my best to repay this kindness."
Li Ronghe smiled, "Actually, I was able to kill Gao Yang this time, thanks to the help of a person named Qin Lang'er." I have sent the jewel to summon him, and I will be there in a moment. ”
"Qin Lang'er......" Yun Niang muttered the name a few times in her mouth.
"What? Do you know him? Li Ronghe asked.
She had actually been curious about why Qin Lang'er wanted to kill Gao Yang.
Yun Niang shook her head, "I don't know." ”
As he was talking, he heard the voice of the jewel outside the door, "County Lord, Qin Lang'er has arrived." ”
"Invite him in."
The door was pushed open, letting Qin Lang'er and Sunshine in.
Yun Niang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the young man in the backlight at the door.
She really didn't know this person.
Yun Niang shook her head.
This person's appearance and temperament are too dazzling, she will not forget if she sees him, and she can be sure that she has not seen him before.
Although Yun Niang looked unfamiliar, Qin Lang'er, who had always been unsmiling, was a little excited when she saw her.
"You ......" He rushed to Yun Niang, looked at it repeatedly, and hesitated, "What is the relationship between you and Xue Daoyun?" ”
Yun Niang's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at him in disbelief, "Do you know my brother?" ”
Qin Lang'er suddenly realized, "It turned out to be his sister, I often saw him looking at your portrait before." ”
As soon as he said this, tears began to run rampant on Yun Niang's face again, and soon mottled the delicate makeup and hair that he had had been cut before.
It's just that this time Yun Niang has no intention of caring about whether she is out of shape anymore, she stretched out her hand and unconsciously clenched Qin Lang'er's sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away, her eyes were half fear and half longing, "He... How is he? ”
Qin Lang'er hesitated for a moment, and her amber eyes gradually dimmed, "Brother Xue, he's ...... Passed away. ”
Passed away.
Three words, as if a heavy hammer with the power of thunder smashed on Yun Niang's chest at once.
It made her dizzy.
Qin Lang'er hurriedly backhanded her to hold her steady, "Are you okay?" ”
Yun Niang's hand was still grasping him at this time and did not let go, and now she embedded her nails into her sleeves, and her knuckles were white. She stared at Qin Lang'er and asked word by word, "Why?" ”
Qin Lang'er said, "I met him on the way to exile. The team that escorted us at that time unfortunately encountered mountain bandits when crossing Qilian Mountain, Brother Xue, in order to protect me, failed to dodge the knife cut by the mountain bandits. ”
Yun Niang's eyes were round, there were no tears in her eyes, but she began to spread more desperate emotions than sadness.
"Why?"
She looked at Qin Lang'er infatuatedly, as if she wanted to see her brother's appearance before he died through those eyes.
"You know what?"
She spoke slowly, "My father is a clean official. ”
"My mother is the daughter of a merchant."
"My brother has been both civil and military since he was a child," and he was only twenty-five years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi. ”
"If it weren't for Gao Yang, my family wouldn't have ended up like this."
Yun Niang's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Why?" Why has my family never done anything to hurt heaven and reason, but God wants to send people to harm us? ”
"My father was beheaded, my brother was killed in exile, my mother was beaten to death with a stick to take me out of the court, and I was sold into a prostitute in a green house...... Tell me, why is that?! ”
Yun Niang stared at him with tears in her eyes, more like she was staring at this unjust world.
She was asking Qin Lang'er what to say, but she didn't expect to hear his answer.
This is a sign of madness. The people in the house were shocked when they looked at her, for fear that Yun Niang would not be able to survive this grief, so they followed her family.
Qin Lang'er lowered her eyes, clenched her fists and gurgled, as if she was trying her best to hide her emotions, and said in a voice as calm as possible, "Brother Xue entrusted me with two things before he died, the first is to kill Gao Yang, and the second is to ask me to find you." ”
He restrained the grief in his heart and said slowly, "He wants me to tell you that it is a long-cherished fate to be born in troubled times and misfortune, and it is bad luck to be born in prosperous times and encounter misfortune." The luck of the Xue family is very bad, so he will meet this catastrophe, but he doesn't believe that the luck of everyone in the Xue family will be so bad......"
Qin Lang'er took a deep breath, "Brother Xue said that after he dies, the luck of the whole family will be given to you, and they will definitely bless you with a safe and smooth life." Therefore, you must live well, live happily, and never trap yourself in the hatred of the past, which will only make the relatives painful and the enemies happy. ”
As soon as his words fell, Yun Niang, who was originally like a dead hysteria, slowly changed from indifference to sadness, and people also had a trace of anger.
She let go of the hand that was holding Qin Lang'er, and suddenly her feet softened, and she knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
