Chapter 50: Rupture
The eldest princess of peace closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a pair of phoenix eyes were unwavering.
"Yan He, don't worry, this palace will bury you and your parents together. If there is an afterlife, my grandmother would rather you be born in a commoner's house......"
"If there is an afterlife...... Xie Yan and Xianlu's pearl-like face slowly bloomed into a sweet smile, her peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, and her brilliant eyes did not have half a fear of dying, but calmly.
"If there is an afterlife, I will still be the daughter of my father and mother, and I will still be the sister of my eldest brother."
The eldest princess of peace frowned. The death of his granddaughter will inevitably lead to estrangement between himself and Jiang Ming, the most promising grandson, and I am afraid that the love between grandchildren and grandchildren will never return to the past.
But the crown prince and the crown princess are watching from the sidelines, and if they relent, leaving this granddaughter's life behind, it will become a big disaster in the future.
The maid had already brought the wine, Xie Yanhe looked at the glazed lotus petals on the tray, his red lips were slightly upturned, and his smile was transparent and indifferent: "Grandmother, is it Your Majesty's will to canonize Chen Yanqing as 'Cheng Enbo' today that made you make up your mind?" ”
In His Majesty's heart, the country is more important than everything. Therefore, His Majesty, knowing that he has been wronged, still favors the prince without asking for reasons as he did three years ago. It was when her grandmother saw this that she made up her mind to end the life of her own granddaughter.
Xie Yanhe laughed at himself and picked up the wine glass on the tray.
"Your Highness, you can't!" Aunt Qiu saw that this matter was a foregone conclusion, she could no longer ignore it, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed to the eldest princess "Bang Bang", "Your Highness, tiger poison does not eat children...... County lord, she is not guilty of death......"
Xie Yan and the hand holding the cup paused. She doesn't have a deep friendship with Aunt Qiu, it's the princess's mansion, and she rarely sets foot in it.
Unexpectedly, this old man who smiles every time he sees her is sincerely sad for her.
But by this time, it was too late.
In the Imperial Palace, after His Majesty expressed his support for the crown prince, Xie Yanhe guessed today's scene. There is no need to wait for Wei Jin and Chen Rong to do it in the future, and her own grandmother will not let her go.
"Aunt Qiu, I understand your intentions. It's just that life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky. Xie Yanhe quietly lowered her black eyelashes, her peach blossom eyes rippled like soft mist, she chuckled, covered her face with her sleeves, and was about to drink the poisonous wine in the cup......
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind in the inner room, and the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air was extremely clear.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the wine cup in Xie Yanhe's hand shattered in response......
This change stunned the eldest princess sitting on the top.
Aunt Qiu looked at Xie Yan and the empty fingers in a daze, and the glass cup worth 100 gold was shattered into several pieces on the floor tiles, like a slap in the face of the eldest princess.
Xie Yanhe rubbed his fingers that were numb by the hidden weapon. This person hiding in the shadows was extremely skillful, and the glass cup shattered in her palm, but there was no trace of scar on her hand. With such terrifying strength and unpredictable whereabouts, how can it not be terrifying.
It turned out that it was so difficult for me to even find death. The tide in Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes flashed, but after the shocked, angry, and frightened eyes of the eldest princess, the sad look in her eyes was replaced by a faint ridicule.
Xie Yanhe chuckled lightly and said softly and innocently: "Grandmother, it seems that my granddaughter's life should not be extinguished." ”
The eldest princess seemed to have suddenly lost all her spirit, a trace of turbidity floated in her phoenix eyes, and her voice was hoarse, full of bitterness: "That's it, your wings are hard, and this palace can't control you." ”
"Grandmother, although I didn't die, I can be regarded as repaying your kindness for many years......" The reason why Xie Yanhe was willing to die was because it was her father's biological mother who wanted to take her life, and her father died young, so she was the daughter of the whole filial piety.
Now, Xie Yanhe is a person who has died once, and the Xie family no longer owes anything.
"You go, this palace doesn't want to see you in the future......" The ancestors and grandchildren completely tore their faces, and the eldest princess no longer had the strength to whitewash the peace. Yan He is immortal, not only is the future of the Xie family uncertain, but this granddaughter will also become an enemy. Don't...... Is this providence? Providence so?!
"The granddaughter is leaving."
Xie Yanhe didn't want to stay and continue to obstruct the eldest princess's eyes, she had already choked the eldest princess today. If it weren't for the eldest princess who was good at maintenance and didn't have the common symptoms of ordinary old people, she would have to be angry with her today.
The eldest princess of peace didn't seem to hear it, and her eyes closed slightly. Just like the eldest princess just said, she has decided to draw a line with Xie Yan and this granddaughter.
Xie Yanhe was completely ignored by the eldest princess, but the expression on his face was neither happy nor angry. She bowed quietly, then straightened her back, stroked the creases on the hem of her skirt with her soft jade fingers dipped in snow, and stood up straight.
The moment the pearl bead curtain was provoked by the maid, the faint voice of the eldest princess sounded in the room: "You, do it yourself!" ”
Xie Yanhe's footsteps paused slightly, she picked the corners of her lips, and walked out of the house without hesitation.
"Iniquity!" The person had already walked away, and the eldest princess of peace raised her hand and pounded the square table in front of her hatefully, and a goose egg face that was no longer young was full of tears.
"Your Highness, the old slave should die!" Aunt Qiu felt ashamed of the eldest princess, she looked sad, and asked the eldest princess with shame.
Following the eldest princess for decades, this is the first time that Aunt Qiu has disobeyed the eldest princess's orders, no matter what the reason is, her behavior is betrayal.
"Qiu Jin, if this palace is not mistaken, you are four years older than this palace......" The face of the eldest princess of peace appeared with a touch of melancholy.
Qiu Jin had a "groan" in her heart, raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess, and quietly waited for her master's judgment on her.
"Come to think of it, it's time for you to retire. In the past, the palace was not thoughtful, and from tomorrow, you will go to Zhuangzi to retire. ”
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she was extremely reluctant. After many years of master-servant relationship, it came to such an end.
The eldest princess has been strong for most of her life, but under the repeated blows, she showed a full of decadence and sadness.
The reason why Qiu Jin is soft-hearted towards Yan He is just because of her love for the house and Wu, the eldest princess is not that she can't tolerate Qiu Jin's mistakes, but that the Xie family is about to be stormy, why bother to put this old servant who has been loyal to her all her life, it is better to let her go to Zhuangzi to retire and spend the rest of her life quietly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Aunt Qiu tearfully kowtowed to the eldest princess of Ping'an three times, she got up from the ground tremblingly, and slowly withdrew from the house.
The curtain of the pearl "dingdong" sounded, and the figure that was no longer vigorous and clever was full of twilight depression and sadness.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and ...... for a long time A low sigh rang out in the room.
"Your Highness, someone from the northwest has arrived." Fangcao quietly walked into the inner room and whispered in the ear of the eldest princess.
"The people of Jiangming?" The eldest princess opened her eyes in an instant, and her tiredness, decadence and sadness had been well hidden by her.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the golden branch and jade leaf high above again, the real helmsman of the Xie family.
"Yes, the person who came is Mama Gong and Mama Wang beside Mrs. Hou."
"Gong Fuliu and Wang Chun?" The eldest princess's pupils shrank rapidly.
"Back to Your Highness, exactly." Yerba said cautiously.
His Royal Highness's mood is very bad, even Aunt Qiu, who has accompanied His Royal Highness for decades, has been let out by His Royal Highness, although Fangcao has always been very favored by the eldest princess of Ping'an, but she thinks that she does not have Aunt Qiu's face, and she doesn't dare to say more than half a word at the moment.
"Jiang Ming is so worried about this palace? What a good grandson of Hongu! The eldest princess sneered and waved her hand weakly, "That's it, let the two of them come in, this palace wants to see what they are here for!" ”
At the end of the sentence, there was already obvious anger.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yerba Grass retreated.
After a while, a girl's crisp voice came from outside the house: "Your Highness, the two grandmothers have arrived." ”
The majestic voice of the eldest princess of peace sounded faintly in the room: "Come in." ”
"The old slave sees Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and wishes Her Royal Highness the eldest princess good health."
Two gentle, calm voices sounded in the inner room, and from the tone and speed of speech, it seemed that they had undergone the most rigorous training, and listening to the ears of the master's family, there would not be half a sense of discomfort.
The eldest princess of peace lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at the two women who were bowing casually.
Mama Gong and Mama Wang are both in their fifties.
Both of them wore autumn-colored dresses, their hair was meticulously combed into a round bun, a silver-gilt ginkgo leaf hairpin was inserted in the bun, a pair of gold cloves on their ears, and a gold bracelet with a little oil on their wrists.
The two are not only dressed similarly, but even their looks are similar.
Mama Gong and Mama Wang both had a round smiling face, but the difference was that Mama Gong had a pair of dimples on her face, which looked more amiable.
These two people have been in the bitter cold land for eight years, but their appearance has not changed much.
"Let's be flat." The eldest princess's majestic and indifferent voice revealed a slight hoarseness.
Mama Gong and Mama Wang were stunned, the eldest princess, who has always paid attention to her appearance, seemed to have cried, and even undried tears could be seen in the corners of her eyes with fine lines.
After all, the two of them were human spirits, as if they had never noticed the gaffe of the eldest princess, and got up with a smile.
"Your Highness, I don't know if the county lord can be in the mansion? The two slaves and maids were ordered by the Hou Ye to return to Beijing to take care of the county lord's food, clothing and daily life. "Mama Gong is the dowry girl of the Marquis Gu's wife, at this time, of course, she comes first.
"Oh? Jiang Ming's daughter-in-law doesn't need anyone around her? After the two of you return to Beijing, who will take care of Wei Zhou and Tao Tao? The eldest princess asked with a puzzled voice.
Mama Gong and Mama Wang both heard the dissatisfaction in the eldest princess's words.
The implication is nothing more than that Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou are not well arranged.
