Chapter 1: The Return
After a long spring rain, the washed sky is clear and transparent.
Even if the air is still mixed with a steep winter wind, it still can't stop the pace of the corner roof tiles gradually being dyed green by spring.
The horse's hooves clattered, crushing a shallow puddle left on the road by yesterday's rain, splashing and shining in the sun.
Li Ronghe on the bed sat up suddenly, drenched in cold sweat.
Baozhu, who was sitting on the side and was napping on the table with his elbows, hurriedly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, hurriedly stood up and walked to the bedside, looked at Li Ronghe's pale face and dazed eyes, and asked with concern, "The county lord is awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Li Ronghe looked up stunned by the voice, looked at the little girl in the red jacket and blue dress in front of him, and lost his mind for a moment.
Memories came flooding back, Li Ronghe glanced over the room, fixed his mind, and finally tentatively opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, "Baozhu? ”
Baozhu nodded hurriedly, while pulling out a handkerchief from his arms, leaning over to wipe the sweat of the county lord, but the hand that had just been stretched out was grasped.
Baozhu was stunned for a moment, seeing that the county lord suddenly burst into tears, he was a little at a loss, and asked tentatively, "But the wound is too painful?" ”
Li Ronghe shook his head slightly, "Baozhu, what year is it now?" ”
What year?
"County Lord, you forgot? It's the sixth year of Yongping. "Baozhu began to feel anxious in his heart, could it be that the county lord fell from his horse and was injured too badly so he lost his memory?
Li Ronghe didn't know what Baozhu thought, he lowered his head and muttered a few times that it was the sixth year of Yongping, only to feel a pain on his head, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but first touched the thick layer of cloth wrapped outside.
Yongping six years!
She remembered.
In the sixth year of Yongping, she startled a horse when she was practicing riding and archery at the horse farm, causing her to be thrown off the horse, knocked her head, and was in a coma for half a month before waking up.
When she woke up, she learned that there was something wrong with the saddle, and shortly before she woke up, her father had just led a group of people to the shop where the saddle was made, and wanted to settle accounts with the owner.
I didn't want my father to go and see the daughter of the shopkeeper's family, Yun Niang, and in the end, not only did the shopkeeper not do anything, but also brought back a "stepmother" for her and her brother.
Li Ronghe lowered his eyes.
The mother concubine died of illness for many years, and her father was the crown prince, so it stands to reason that she should canonize another crown princess. It's just that the imperial grandmother wanted to refer to the concubine for her father many times before, but she was refused, on the grounds that she could never forget her mother in her heart, and she had no intention of remarrying for the time being.
The imperial grandmother originally praised her father's dedication, until the third prince inadvertently found out about the prince's private hiding of Yun Niang.
The prince of a dignified country, after rejecting the daughters of many high-ranking scholars, secretly included the daughter of a craftsman into the East Palace without telling everyone, which naturally touched the anger of the imperial grandmother who had always adhered to the etiquette and law, and immediately ordered the prince to be punished with twenty rods, and then punished to kneel in the Changji Hall for a whole day before he hated and gave up under the persuasion of the three princes.
The imperial grandmother has always been obsessed with this matter, and even when the prince was abolished later, she did not forget to add a clause in the edict that the prince named the daughter of the craftsman as a good woman, which is detrimental to the royal bloodline.
But the dead imperial grandmother didn't know, and neither did the father who was shot by Xiao Liu, from the beginning, this was a game under the third prince Li Jinbu.
The shopkeeper is Xiao Liu, who is obviously a craftsman, but in fact he is a guest of the three princes. He found Yun Niang, who was similar to her mother's eyebrows and eyes, from Qinglou, and then disguised himself as a craftsman to open a shop and make a saddle, and his ultimate goal was his father.
And her unassuming father finally planned to include Yun Niang in the East Palace, and Xiao Liu also stopped opening a shop to do business because of his father's relationship, but was promoted to become the left attendant of the military department.
But just when everyone thought that Xiao Liu was his father's person, and felt that he had no hope of being promoted after his father was demoted, Xiao Liu shot his father who came back to mourn, so as to show the world his determination to break with his father.
After Li Jin succeeded to the throne, Xiao Liuyi made steady progress. Because of his meritorious work in shooting his father, he was named a loyal and righteous duke, and the official shot the left servant of the second-grade Shangshu, and the power was overwhelming.
But even so, Xiao Liu still never forgot to want her to die.
Maybe he thought she was dead, and no one reminded him of what he had done. may also feel that only when she is dead, Li Jin and him can completely lift their vigilance, and they don't have to worry about living anymore.
So later, on the way they fled to Jinyang, Xiao Liu kept eyeing him. also took the opportunity to catch the jewel to coerce and lure, and tortured her, just to pry open the jewel's mouth and make her admit that the princess was against her.
After being tortured like this for seven days, when Xie Xuan finally found and brought the person back, Baozhu's hands and feet had been cut off by Xiao Liu, and there was no intact skin on his body, and he was so painful that he only wanted to die.
But she could only swallow her anger and pain, and let Xie Xuan suppress the matter, only telling the emperor that Xiao Liu had taken a fancy to the jewel and wanted to take a concubine, but the jewel was not allowed, so she committed suicide because she couldn't think about it for a while......
"County Lord?" Seeing that Li Ronghe didn't speak for a long time, the treasure beads on the side were a little worried.
Li Ronghe came back to his senses, took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, looked up and asked, "What about my father?" ”
Baozhu sighed, "Your Highness has just taken someone out, and it seems that he is angry, saying that he is going to vent his anger for you......"
Li Rong and oh.
She could almost imagine how her father, when he learned that the saddle had been tampered with, jumped up with anger on his face, and howled out with a roar in his mouth.
In her previous life, she never liked the style she learned from her father's rangers, so when she heard it, she went to vent for her, but she didn't hear it. didn't want her father to bring Yun Niang back to the East Palace later, she was so angry about it, so angry that she didn't say a word to him for a whole year.
And she still remembers her father's cautious attitude at that time.
I was afraid that appearing in front of her would mess things up, and I couldn't help but want to please, so I had to send my brother every day to send her all kinds of new jewelry and small things in the capital, new clothes and new boots, and sent them for a whole year, until she finally got impatient and took the initiative to tell him not to send them again.
Her father always regarded her as a treasure, so the only thing he did before realizing that he was about to be deposed was not to turn the tide and try to curry favor with the emperor's grandfather, but to marry her to the Xie Mansion immediately......
But she never gave him a good face because she disliked his incompetence and mediocrity from beginning to end.
Until she finally began to regret it, began to reminisce about the past, and began to want to find a chance to make amends...... My father died.
He died so hastily and so hastily.
Li Ronghe clenched his fists.
Fortunately, God has let her return to this year.
This time, she will never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Li Ronghe lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Baozhu on the side saw it and said urgently, "County Lord, you have just woken up, it's not good to go out immediately to see the wind, where do you want to go, I don't know if you can find a palace person to act on your behalf?" ”
Li Ronghe shook his head, "I'll go to my father, and you quickly order them to prepare horses." ”
Baozhu hesitated for a moment, although he was worried about Li Rong and his injury, it could be seen that his own county lord had a solemn face, and he knew that there should be something important, so he no longer persuaded him, and immediately ordered the palace people to prepare horses.
