Chapter 245: His Highness's Reckoning (End of Volume 3)
Yan Sui woke up that night, a day earlier than everyone expected.
When he opened his eyes, there was a beautiful face shaking in front of him, and the only thing that ruined that beauty a little was the bruise on the corner of his mouth and the sad expression on his face.
When the sorrowful beauty saw that he was awake, she jumped up violently and shouted outside, "Wake up! While serving tea diligently, the gesture of serving tea was very unskillful, and the teacup and teacup were swaying on the saucer, which made people very worried that the teacup would sooner or later fall on her feet or Yan Sui's head.
Yan Sui's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he quickly sobered up and sat up. Chinese and the others immediately led the mermaid out, and lowered their eyebrows and squeezed out the Xifan royal daughter who had not yet brought the tea.
Yan Sui's eyes wandered around the crowd, and then glanced at the room again, and was slightly silent.
Everyone was terrified.
After a while, Yan Sui said, "Give me the medicine?" β
There was no joy or anger on his face, and Chinese trembled and nodded.
"The Lady of Zephant?"
Xifan Wang Daughter Xizizi was about to answer, and Chinese hurriedly said, "Yes." By the way, his ass was crooked, and he quietly squeezed her back again.
It's not for favor, it's really to save your life.
"The bronze mirror has been replaced...... Has the room been vandalized? β
Chinese sweat rains.
Obviously, everything in the room has been changed exactly the same, and even the position of each piece of furniture has been carefully measured with a ruler, why does His Highness still see it when he opens his eyes?
Yan Sui looked down at his dirty clothes, he felt uncomfortable as soon as he woke up, not because the room was not right, but because a very small corner of his dirty clothes had been cut off.
Chinese and others are focused on furniture replacement, where to get Wen Zhen's most ruthless trick here.
Yan Sui's gaze crossed the heads of the people in the house and landed in the courtyard, Yi Xiuding was dressed in plain clothes, holding a green knife in his hand, his face was like frost, and he stood in the courtyard.
She was white from head to toe on the snow, and if you didn't look closely, you almost thought it was a snowman.
Yan Sui was silent again.
"Mrs. Duan is dead?"
This time his tone was lower, and the language guards didn't even dare to answer, and the Chinese took three steps back, his head hanging lower.
Yan Sui glanced at it again, and Mrs. Yao was standing at the door, his face was a little ugly.
Mrs. Duan died suddenly, and Yi Xiuding held the green sword, saying that he had followed the instructions of Wen Bei to kill Mrs. Duan who was plotting against her, and surrendered to the court.
Wen Zhen suddenly went crazy again, and ran away after making a fuss, Yi Renli and Li Xiao and the others had already chased after him, and Taiwei Yao felt that something was wrong.
Yan Sui said: "Old Yao forced it? β
Everyone's hearts thumped.
Mrs. Yao took a step back, his face pale.
After His Royal Highness King Yi woke up, he was not angry, he was not suspicious, he only said a few short words, but every sentence was thrilling, and he wanted to run away.
He has a pair of eyes that see through the world, whether he says it or not, it is under his eyes.
Mrs. Yao originally wanted to explain the matter euphemistically, but now he can only secretly complain.
After Yan Sui finished speaking, he didn't show any anger at the court's decision to make His Majesty's intentions, he was just silent for a while, but everyone's hearts were tightened, and they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
It seemed that a century later, Yan Sui finally asked the question that everyone was most afraid of.
"Where's Wen Zhen?"
There was silence.
Even the guards who had come up to serve him in clothes did not dare to step forward and knelt on the ground.
Suffocating silence.
Yan Sui: "Huh? β
Sweat was drenched in everyone's foreheads, and only the princess of Zephani, who had been squeezed to the end of the crowd, jumped on tiptoe, holding a piece of light yarn in both hands, and waved it desperately on her head.
As soon as Yan Sui raised his eyes, he saw that it was a torn gauze tent, which should have been on top of his head, but now there were four shocking characters written on the yarn with rouge.
"Scumbag, break up!"
Yan Sui: "......"
When he woke up, he was broken up, and His Royal Highness King Yi, who was omnipotent, also felt God's deep malice.
The princess finally gained Yan Sui's attention, squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, and was about to talk to Yan Sui about her thoughts, when she saw Yan Sui's head tilted and said, "Bad breath." β
Zephani: "......"
Yan Sui stopped talking, got up in clothes, Chinese and German wanted to come forward to serve, Yan Sui said lightly: "Don't dare to be." β
The fingers of the language guards flicked up as if they had been electrocuted.
"The courage is fat, the heart is big, and I dare to make my own opinions." Yan Sui smiled and said, "I can't afford to use such a guard, and I don't dare to use it, my lords, please go back, from now on, I don't dare to stay in the Yiwang Mansion." β
"Your Highness!" The language guards fell to their knees and shouted heartbreakingly.
But Yan Sui had already dressed herself and walked out without looking back.
Chinese looked at Yan Sui's back desperately, following Yan Sui for many years, he knew Yan Sui's nature well, he didn't emphasize to you what happens if you make a mistake, because if you make a mistake, you basically have no chance. And the lighter the demeanor, the more angry it becomes.
The more you beg him, the worse the result.
The language guards lay on the ground in a daze, staring at each other for a while, and said in Japanese, "What should I do?" β
The German language says: "I committed suicide and apologized!" β
"Your Highness will only be disgusted with your blood and stain the ground in front of his door."
Chinese: "What can I do?" The male master doesn't want us for the female master, and now we have to cry and beg the female master. β
English: "In order to solve the crisis that is coming soon, I have already cried and begged Caiyun, please be sure to leave us the traces of the master, although we are afraid of angering the heroine and dare not chase her, but we can finally offer the merit to His Highness in time to atone for his sins." β
"Ah, where did Master Wen go? Say it! β
"Caiyun left a book before leaving, saying that the heroine is going to be the king of the mountain, maybe we can go to be a minion?"
ββ¦β¦β
"His Royal Highness will always chase after him, when the time comes, we will take him up the mountain to be the prince of the village, when the time comes, His Royal Highness will be happy, the female king will also be happy, the two dragons will be happy, the old things will be written off, kill two birds with one stone, and everything will be successful."
ββ¦β¦β
When Yan Sui walked through the courtyard, Yi Xiuding raised the green mantis knife with both hands and bowed deeply to him.
"Your Highness." She said, "Madame is dead. The green mantis knife was sacrificed, and the Yi family had already knelt at the feet of His Royal Highness. Is Your Highness satisfied? β
The words that should have been slightly resentful, but she said them in a flat tone.
All the pain was covered in ice and snow, and weighed down deep in the dark prison of last night.
The face that was originally pale in color has lost weight again in only two days and nights, and the bottom of the transparent skin reveals pale blue-blue veins.
Yan Sui looked at the green knife, didn't take it, and said for a while: "What's the matter?" β
Yi Xiuding was slightly silent and said, "Madame is self-decided." Before dying, he drugged Wen Zhen. I don't know what the medicine is. Madame said that it was difficult to calm down, so give a little punishment to the two of them. β
Yan Sui looked at the green knife: "I remember that the knife seems to have been originally inlaid with a glass bead?" β
"Xu is gone."
Yan Sui didn't ask again.
"I forgive you for your sins. Whether you are willing to help the imperial court stabilize Changchuan is up to you. But you must never be ill-intentioned towards Wen Zhen, and you must never leave Changchuan. β
"Your Highness."
Yan Sui stopped looking at her and walked out of the door, Yi Xiuding suddenly said again: "Your Highness knows that I have resentment in my heart, why do you dare to keep me in the Yi family?" β
"Why don't you dare? Your Yi family has a large army, and I haven't cared about it. You are the only one who has to be on guard, in Wen Zhen's words, that is called inner weakness. Yan Sui didn't look back and stepped out of the threshold, "Of course, the most important thing is that Wen Zhen wants you to live." β
She wants you to live, and I will let you live.
Even if it may be a hidden danger.
He stepped out the door.
Yi Xiuding stood in the snow, watching his back go away.
This glance is the last one, and there can be no more intersections in this life.
He is a man of heaven, floating clouds and clouds there, and he is a pair of beautiful people, and he does not want to look down on the world.
And she still has to struggle with the responsibility she has to bear in this world.
She leaned against the cold courtyard wall, slowly chewing a bitter stick, the branches thick with snow, and falling all over her shoulders.
The bitter taste lingered between her lips and tongue, and the crystal snow mist filled her eyes, in the mist, Mrs. Duan walked quietly with a scroll in her hand, Yi Yuncen was rubbing beside her with his nesting doll in her arms, Elder Chuandeng handed over the newly obtained medicine, and the men of the eighteen tribes chased their prey in the snow with their bare and strong upper bodies.
The corner of Yi Xiuding's eyes gradually condensed a crystal ice bead, the tips of her hair fluttered in the wind, and the tips that originally shimmered with silver light were the same color as the winter snow.
The heavens are not blessed, and the world is bitter.
β¦β¦
Yan Sui went to the prison next, because he was busy, and because he was very worried about His Highness's anger after waking up, no one mentioned the matter of releasing Zu Shaoning, and of course he didn't wake up.
Yan Sui saw the disheveled Zu Shaoning at a glance through the fence. At a glance, in Zu Shaoning's untidy clothes, he found one of the familiar strips of cloth very sharply.
It was Wen Zhen's clothes.
Yan Sui may not remember what she wore yesterday, but she definitely remembers what Wen Zhen worn.
Yan Sui stared at the strip of cloth for a long time, his eyes were darker and colder than the shadow of the prison without seeing the light of day.
Zu Shaoning seemed to finally sense the approaching crisis, trembling and opening his eyes, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the iron fence in front of him made a terrible breaking sound and fell down, he wanted to run but did not have the strength, and let out a miserable scream in shock.
A figure rushed in, threw himself on the fence and pulled it back desperately, using all his strength and physical strength to hold the entire fence that had fallen, and shouted profusely: "Your Highness, stop your anger! Don't kill the commander! β
Yan Sui glanced at him obliquely, and Taiwei Yao, who came to save people, froze, and suddenly felt a chilling murderous intent.
Then he heard Yan Sui say lightly: "Chinese, looking back and remembering to fold the imperial court, Zu Shaoning was detained for his crimes, acted rebelliously and was punished by heaven, and was stoned to death by the fence of the cell in disrepair at the age of twenty-three. Yao Taiwei bravely saved people, but unfortunately died, please give the widow of Taiwei a pension, and posthumously title the marquis, nickname......" He also thought about it seriously, "Don't regret the past, let's be martial." β
Captain Yao: "......"
From ancient times to the present, I have never seen a person who has set a name in person.
It's still a deadly.
The ancients were ashamed of the dead, and the great fault was just a plain mistake, and the one in front of him easily gave the word "ζΎ", and Taiwei Yao could deeply feel that this was not a joke. Absolutely.
There was a bang in his head, and his eyes went black.
The scholar attaches no less importance to the grief and honor after death than the wealth before death, or even more so, after all, it is related to the stench of ten thousand years or a hundred generations. A person like Yao Taiwei, who is an extremely popular minister, would rather take his post and go to prison now than accept this harsh word.
His hands went limpy almost immediately.
The fence smashed down, but fortunately, after this buffer, Zu Shaoning was able to get up and take a few steps back in time, escaping the death smash. But he understands very well that escaping this smash does not mean that it is okay, Yan Sui looks at him like a dead man.
Zu Shaoning was frightened and confused, he didn't expect to anger this evil god, Taiwei Yao couldn't resist a word under his hands, how could he escape?
Zu Shaoning is a general guarding the border pass, and he is far away from Changchuan, and his relationship with the officials of the surrounding states and counties and Lin Qing's family is not very good, so he doesn't know much about the relationship between Wen Zhen and Yan Sui, but he is also smart, his eyes rolled wildly, and he suddenly blessed his heart, and shouted: "Your Highness!" Your Highness! I didn't meet Wen Beijia! I was knocked down by Wen Beijia through the fence! My trouser belt ...... My trouser belt was cut by her......"
As soon as he shouted like this, Yan Sui's eyes fell on him somewhere, Zu Shaoning's face turned pale, and he hurriedly covered it, for fear that this master would be reminded that Ming'er would invite him to enter the palace as a eunuch.
Zu Shaoning looked at Yan Sui nervously, but he didn't realize that his words actually didn't make people feel much more relieved, the coldness in Yan Sui's eyes did not decrease, and suddenly with a flick of his sleeves, Zu Shaoning's whole body shot out like a cannonball, crashing down the prison wall and smashing into the snowdrift outside.
Yan Sui was about to take a step forward, when there was a sharp sound of footsteps, Lin Feibai rushed in and said angrily: "Enough!" β
He rushed to Yan Sui and said sharply: "Killing the commander of the imperial court with troops, you are relieved, have you thought about what will happen to my father?" How will the court suspect him! Wen Zhen was not just forced away by these people, you have to be angry, please take a look at yourself first! β
"Lin Hou." Yan Sui said coldly, "You're right. It's best to look at yourself before you speak. β
Lin Feibai sneered: "What's wrong with me?" I owe you, don't I? Take me as a pretense, use me as a disguise, use me as a monkey, His Royal Highness has unparalleled wisdom and means, and we are stupid, so naturally His Highness will play with it. However, I have to remind His Royal Highness that whether I am willing to fight with you or not will not affect Concubine De's attitude towards you; Whether I like Lord Wen or not, it will not affect the royal attitude towards her. Your Highness, since you don't care about us, why don't you raise your eyes upward? Look at the people and things you really want to solve, so as to give Master Wen a stable life! β
He was indignant, he didn't care who he stabbed anymore, he said a lot in one breath, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Yuanzhi standing at the door of the prison, looking at him quietly.
There was no anger, embarrassment or sadness in her eyes, and she even smiled slightly, as if it was a pleasure to hear Lin Feibai personally admit that she liked Wen Zhen.
Lin Feibai felt weak under such a gaze, and his anger disappeared in an instant. Turning his head a little sneeringly, he heard the ringing bell, Zhou Yuanzhi walked past him, Lin Feibai was thinking at this moment, why didn't the corners of her skirt move when she walked?
Zhou Yuanzhi walked all the way to Yan Sui, and blessed him: "Your Highness, Lord Wen went out of the city directly. Her guards had gone after her. Master Li plans to take sick leave to the court on her behalf. My father also sent a letter, saying that Lin Shuai had returned to the camp. Xifan sued for peace, Changchuan matter, my father no longer needs to stay in Suizhou and other places to supervise, willing to go to Changchuan, temporarily watch the wind, and later accompany Taiwei and the ancestral commander to send the Xifan princess to Tianjing. It's just that this matter still needs to ask His Royal Highness for an order. β
Lin Feibai listened, even if he was in a hesitant mood at the moment, he couldn't help but secretly admire.
This Miss Zhou, who is really well-versed in the world, doesn't say a word of nonsense, and when she sees what Yan Sui wants, she will help him do anything. It was calculated that Yan Sui would never escort the princess back to Changchuan, but His Majesty was not easy to explain, so he directly arranged the follow-up. With Zhou Qian here, supervising Yao Taiwei and Zu Shaoning, he is not afraid of causing trouble after returning to Beijing. It's really well arranged.
Yan Sui nodded expressionlessly, after Lin Feibai said that, his expression did not change, but the air around him suddenly tensed, and it was not until this moment that he eased slightly.
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled gently: "It's just Your Highness, my father is a Wenchen, and our guards are limited......"
Yan Sui said: "Lin Hou will naturally personally escort his life-saving benefactor. β
Hearing the first half of Lin Feibai's protest, the second half of the sentence immediately shut up.
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled with satisfaction, and easily abducted Lin Feibai away.
When the sky was about to darken, the princess of the West Fan who had been left out in the cold for a long time walked out of her courtyard in mourning, and said to the maids who couldn't even enter the gate of Yiyuan in mourning: "A bottle of chalcedony paste a day seems to be flying." β
The maids palpitated: "Princess, although His Royal Highness Dongtang is good-looking, his temper is too bad, and his fiancΓ©e is a shrew, so we have been fooled." β
The princess of Zephan said with a sad face: "Yes, is it too late for us to regret returning to Zephan now?" β
The two maids looked at each other, thinking to themselves that the king would be crazy if he knew that you were back again.
The two of them each touched the gold bead and jade bracelet they had just received in their pockets, and one said, "Your Highness, what are you going to do when you go back, does Xifan have the pearl herb chalcedony paste from Dongtang?" Even the leg of lamb is not as delicious as here. β
The other said, "Your Highness." Chalcedony paste is not the only one that this prince can afford, there are people who are richer than him in this Dongtang, not to mention a bottle of chalcedony paste a day, even a hundred bottles a day is no problem. β
"Ah, who is it?"
"There is a saying in the Central Plains, it is called the shore of the land, and only the emperor can want what he wants. Your Royal Highness, the emperor of Dongtang doesn't seem to be very old, what does he look like, looking at this prince, he also knows that he will not be ugly, and he has a higher status, or will you try to change it? β
"Hey," said Zephan Princess, "it's not impossible......"
On the wall, Chinese, who had just completed the bribery task, wiped his sweat.
There are thousands of sons who have been stuffed by Lao Tzu in this world, but they can do the strange thing of stuffing women back to Lao Tzu......
Recite Amitabha Buddha for Your Majesty.
β¦β¦
The snow in Changchuan in the seventeenth year of Yongyu fell from year to year, and those scattered debris were mercifully sprinkled by God, covering the night to cry, covering the scattered bloodstains, covering the deceit, and covering the grievances of grace and right and wrong that came and went in the red dust.
Under the snow, the bells and the dings in this vast land, the flags are continuous, the high walls and copper tiles, and the people are clustered, all of which are swept away by the cold north wind, and the white expanse is really clean.
On that piece of snow, there are several lines of delicate footprints, far away to the other side of the mountain.
There are also the light footprints of warriors, like plum blossoms flying in the wind, and they are shallowly imprinted on the snow.
There are also deep horseshoe prints that have stepped into the snow, splashing snow with every footfall, leaving deep imprints along the way, running in the same direction.
