Chapter 1: Waiting

Next Chapter

Just after October, snow fell in the capital, the snow was not heavy, covering the ground in a thin layer, a bit like the frost that has not melted in the morning.

Yu Qingqing, dressed in prison clothes and carrying a heavy flail, stepped out of the city gate under the scolding of half of the people in the capital.

The indifferent eyes glowed a little after seeing the weeping willows on both sides of the official road, and the corners of the pale and chapped lips were slightly pulled upward.

I still remember that when she arrived in Beijing in May last year, she was dizzy from the sun, and she smiled happily when she saw the shade of the weeping willow trees.

The smile on his lips sank before he appeared, it turned out that it was only a year old.

The anklet was heavy, and the ankle had been worn out before it reached the Ten Mile Pavilion, and there was warm heat flowing into the straw sandals, and Yu Qingqing stood still.

The official behind him immediately let out a cold scold.

Yu Qingqing turned around, raised her eyes to look at the back, and said lightly: "There is a guest visiting." ”

Hearing this, the official let out a sneer, and immediately looked her up and down contemptuously: "You are in such a situation, who will go to great lengths to see you?" Saying this, he still subconsciously turned his eyes and saw a rather gorgeous carriage.

The officer's expression changed slightly, he twisted his eyebrows to look back at Yu Qingqing, and asked questioningly, "Are you sure you came to you?" ”

Yu Qingqing didn't pay attention to it, only stared intently at the carriage approaching little by little, and when she saw the word "Fu" on the emblem of the Golden Mansion, her dim eyes instantly became sharp and cold.

"Finally, it's coming!"

Her quagmire purgatory for more than ten years can finally end today.

The carriage stopped steadily, the coachman diligently moved out of the footstool, and after a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and a little maid in a pink jacket walked down, standing beside the carriage and raising her hand to greet the owner of the carriage.

A tender shallot-like soft wattle was placed in the palm of the little girl's hand, and then a person walked out of the carriage with a short body.

The woman is slender, wearing a white fox cloak, with a thick fox fur around her chin, and her palm-sized little face is even fairer and more delicate, but her eyes are cold and gloomy.

As soon as the four officials saw Fu Shiyu, their hearts were all "groaning", and they muttered with a headache: "Why is she here?" ”

Clearly know that there is a blood feud between her and Yu Qingqing, and I don't think she came here to say goodbye at this time, if she breaks Yu Qingqing's arms and legs under their noses, dereliction of duty or not, not to mention for the time being, how can they drag a cripple in the next few months?

But they posted a lot of reward money privately on this trip, if they didn't give Fu Shiyu a convenience at the moment, they would not be able to eat in Beijing in the future.

Thinking about it, the four of them still didn't dare to stop it.

Fu Shiyu slowly came to Yu Qingqing's side, looked at her miserable appearance of the heavy flail, covered her lips and chuckled: "I know that you are on the road today, and I am here to send it off." ”

"After today, the enmity between you and me will be over."

"Enmity... Is it? Yu Qingqing looked at Fu Shiyu's smiling eyebrows and eyes, chewing these two words thoughtfully.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Tianding, the Yu family in Beijing welcomed Yu Qingqing, a daughter who had been sick for more than ten years on Zhuangzi, back to the house, and soon made a marriage contract with Jiang Minglei, the champion of the new department.

A talented man with a beautiful woman can be called a beautiful talk!

But the "Yu Qingqing" with a splendid future is not her, she herself is still in Zhuangzi, hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and is about to marry the son of a servant.

After waiting for more than ten years, she didn't expect such a result, Yu Qingqing, who has always been obedient, had rebellious thoughts for the first time, she decided to go to Beijing to ask her father face to face, what is the flesh and blood in his heart?

In May, she arrived in Beijing and sounded the drum outside Jingzhao Mansion.

What is the most exciting thing in the calm and prudent capital? Naturally, it was lively that had nothing to do with itself.

In just half a day, this thunderous word reached the inner court.

Yu Zhihang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, immediately came forward to testify, saying that Yu Qingqing in the family was his biological daughter, and asked Jingzhao Mansion to punish this fanatic who pretended to be an official as soon as possible, so as to set the record straight.

The situation became more and more intense, Yin Zeng Shuhai of Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to slack off, and personally went to the door to catch the counterfeiter, but met Yan Heng, a marquis who governed the five institutes of Beijing and was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, at the inn.

Zeng Shuhai realized that this woman was actually brought into Beijing by Yan Heng.

Who in Beijing dares to reverse right and wrong in front of Yan Heng? Under several open and fair confrontations, a drama of selling a woman for glory and a dove occupying a magpie's nest was known to the government and the opposition.

It turned out that Fu Yanming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, raised his wife outside, and one day he was known by the wife of the family and tore up.

Fu Zhong, the first assistant of his father's cabinet, was afraid that the situation would be embarrassing and could not be ended, so he ordered Fu Yanming to send people out of Beijing immediately.

The father didn't dare to rebel, Fu Yanming had to endure the pain and sent away his wife and daughter in the outer room, who knew that he died of illness on the way to the outer room, leaving a daughter floating alone, Fu Yanming was worried day and night, and he picked his heart.

This secret was originally not revealed, but at a small banquet between Fu Zhong and Yu Zhihang, the drunk Fu Zhong accidentally said that he missed his mouth, and Yu Zhihang spent a night after going back, and talked to his stepwife Ma the next day, Ma's eyes rolled, and his heart suddenly rose.

proposed, take Fu Yanming's outer room girl Fu Shiyu into the Yu family as Yu Qingqing, so that it can not only solve the internal strife of the Fu family, but also allow the Fu family to inherit a great favor from the Yu family. Since then, with the help of the Fu family, are you still worried that Hangzhou is not prosperous?

After hearing this, Yu Zhihang stroked his palm and praised the wonderful, but he made a sad appearance that he couldn't give up his own flesh and blood, wiped his tears and told Ma to tell Yu Qingqing a good family affair to ensure that she had no worries in her life.

Ma responded softly, turned his head and promised the man to the son of the servant.

This is the case of Yu Qingqing going to Beijing to express her grievances.

As soon as the case was announced, it caused an uproar in the capital, and the actions of the Fu family and the Yu family were scolded by tens of millions of people.

The emperor was furious and was about to be severely punished.

But on the eve of the palace trial, Yu Qingqing learned that Yan Heng and Fu Zhong had a mortal enemy, and he took him back to Beijing, just to take advantage of her misery and hit the Fu family hard.

The warmth and trust that had been built up for months collapsed in an instant.

Yu Qingqing raised her eyes and looked around, all she saw was darkness, no one in this big world was willing to leave a lamp for her, and she became the lonely ghost who walked alone.

Hate?

... Hate.

But who should he hate?

... Everyone, including herself.

Dark and narrow-minded feelings raged in the bottom of her heart, and a revenge thought that she couldn't wait to destroy herself kept gnawing at Yu Qingqing's internal organs.

In the palace of diligent government, in the face of the "punishment" and "harmony" given by the emperor, she chose the latter against her original intention - to return to the Yu family, and the emperor gave her marriage to Jiang Minglei.

Just when she was about to thank her, Yan Heng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said loudly: "Yu Qingqing, are you sure!" ”

Yu Qingqing, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, suddenly showed a happy smile, but her eyes couldn't stop reddening, she looked at him, as if she was asking and answering: "Yan Dudu took me back to Beijing, isn't it just to help me find what belongs to me?" ”

"Why do you ask that?" The light tone was full of mockery.

Yan Heng's expression was sluggish, only a pair of water-colored bright eyes flashed with panic, staring at her in the slightest, and said, "No regrets? ”

Looking at him, Yu Qingqing couldn't understand the emotion in his eyes, only to feel that the layer of water became more and more moist, and her heart also felt suffocating.

As soon as the water was thicker, she felt ten times more pain, Yu Qingqing couldn't help frowning, forcibly turned her eyes away, and stopped the pain in her heart.

"If you can't ask for it, you naturally don't regret it!" She gritted her teeth and said categorically.

There was a quiet breath in the hall, and then Yan Heng's low voice came: "Take you back to Beijing, naturally I want to see you." ”

"If that's what you want, I... I am also gratified. ”

Soon after the marriage, Yu's father went to the house to discuss with Jiang Minglei, and Yu Qingqing went to ask for peace after learning about it, and heard them discussing outside the window, and said: "After Yan Heng resigned, it was found that he had embezzled a huge amount of military salary during his tenure, and he was imprisoned, and Yu Qingqing had no support. ”

"And the emperor's mind is on how to review Yan Heng, and he has no time to take care of anything else in the short term, and if he makes an accident at this time, he will definitely be able to get rid of the scourge of Yu Qingqing without knowing it."

"Then there will be no one to stop you from keeping up with the rain."

The sunlight slanted under the eaves, pulling Yu Qingqing's shadow obliquely long and sharp, her expression was faint, and everything in the room seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Her eyelashes were drooping, and she was seriously looking at the sweet, softly scented pastries on the tray, her thoughts flew into the air, and she thought of Yan Heng out of place.

That was the first time they met, he killed the bandit who wanted to bully her, carried a bloody knife, untied his cloak with one hand and handed it to her, turned around and asked softly, "Child, what is your name?" My brother will send you home. ”

On the way together, he listened to what happened to her, was silent for a moment and said: "All weak waiting and forbearance will only make the opponent more unscrupulous to oppress you, only by counterattacking can you survive." ”

But how did these people who know the truth of life become prisoners? Yu Qingqing couldn't figure it out, and wanted to ask him in person.

At the small banquet a few days later, Yu Qingqing used poison to get rid of those conceited people who tried to control her life and death.

The cold wind blew, rolling up the fine snow particles on the ground, and also leaving a chill between Yu Qingqing's eyebrows. When her thoughts returned, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she said in a low but firm voice: "You are wrong." ”

"There has always been only enmity between you and me, no grace!"

Fu Shiyu shook his head with a smile, and pointed out in a lofty attitude: "It's you who is wrong." ”

"Originally, you should have died in Zhuangzi last year, but I promised you to live these more days, isn't it grace?"

Hearing this, the cold and alienated Yu Qingqing suddenly smiled a little sincerely, her sharp pupils dizzed the darkness of the abyss, and everything she could see was mockery.

Look, it's ridiculous that these conceited and arrogant people think they can control the lives and deaths of others.

If Fu Shiyu learned that she was caught by Jingzhao Mansion on the way to find her, I don't know if she would dare to come here today to speak out?

Fu Shiyu thought of something, and her expression became even more smug for a while, she leaned over and approached Yu Qingqing, and there was an irrepressible wanton pleasure in her gentle tone: "I might as well tell you that these four servants have been paid a lot of money by us, and along the way, every moment, I will make you regret being a man!" ”

Between her nose was the rich fragrance of magnolia flowers, Yu Qingqing lowered her eyes and swept the slender neck hidden under the fox fur, her eyes froze, and she said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for taking the trouble to come and remind you." ”

Fu Shiyu couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw that he couldn't stop scaring her, but he didn't show it on his face, walked around her, looked at the scars and blood around her eyes, and said in a slurp: "If Yan Heng knows that the people he desperately saved will end up like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down." ”

Falling into the well and killing people are the methods that Fu Shiyu likes to use, and Yu Qingqing has expected these for a long time, so it is not surprising.

However, she actually wanted to use Yan Heng to turn into a stone that hurt her and a knife to stab her heart, which made Yu Qingqing feel inexplicable.

Seeing her face with a different color, Fu Shiyu's heart suddenly set off angry waves, and he couldn't even maintain his elegant appearance, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "You really like Yan Heng too!" ”

Also? Yu Qingqing glanced at her coldly: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Poisonous woman, you don't want to deny it!" Fu Shiyu seemed to be an accusation with conclusive evidence, and said sonorously: "On the day of marriage, Yan Heng took advantage of people's inattention and secretly uncovered the happy word posted on the big locust tree in the corner of the mansion, folded it and put it in his arms. ”

"If he doesn't like you, why should he treasure a happy word so much?"

"It's hateful that I told Jiang Lang all this a long time ago, but he didn't believe me, so he ended up now!"

A ridiculous sentence that I don't know whether it is true or not, but it completely made Yu Qingqing panic, and she almost immediately retorted: "Impossible! ”

She ruined his plan in the Qinzheng Palace, he must have hated her very much, how could he... No way!

Seeing that she was still quibbling, Fu Shiyu sneered and asked, "Impossible?" Then how do you explain that he traded his life for you! ”
