Chapter 58: Reunion
When Xiao Wanyan was seven years old, she was invited to a banquet by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at that time, there was always a little maid by her side who took her wherever she went.
And after arriving in the Great Zhou, the little maid accidentally dropped her heart, she had no way to go back together, and she was afraid that the princess would not agree, so she found a way to create a fake death.
Over the years, she has had a prosperous life in Dazhou, but in the past few years, she was so depressed that people were freezing and starving, the man deceived her, and after getting married, he found many women outside, and finally abandoned her and drove her out.
Looking at the guilty look of the proprietress, Qu Xiaoran snorted: "You have a good life in Dazhou, and your younger brother has a good life in Daliang, who gave you all this, you have forgotten?" ”
Her face panicked, and she was eager to explain: "No, I have never forgotten, how could I forget her." ”
"Revenge? Aojin, who should you take revenge with, your good brother rebelled, and the murdered princess lost everything, how do you pay back these. Qu Xiaoran pressed forward step by step, and roared angrily: "You have never remembered her kindness to you, otherwise how could your brother have the intention of killing the lord." ”
Jin Yan was yelled at and took a step back, his eyes widened in disbelief: "You said abruptly? Impossible, she has always been heartfelt towards the princess, how could she betray, I don't believe it. ”
She only has guilt in her heart for her younger brother, for her own love, she herself, left the Daliang Palace, left Ranran, and now she only has endless remorse.
And Qu Xiaoran won't pay attention to her guilt, if there is a regret medicine for you in the world, where will there be so many things: "You asked him about the good things he did himself, when I came to you, did you say that you didn't want to have anything to do with the previous things, and now you explain it so high-sounding and unconsciously ironic?" Ranjin, now that she is in front of you, I will ask you again, about revenge
, back to the girder, do you do it or not. ”
Looking at the unfamiliar face on the bed, she couldn't think of the child who followed her to her sister at the beginning, looking at her scarred and bruised all over her body, Jin Jin gritted her teeth: "I do, I already owe her, and I can't do anything that I regret anymore." ”
Qu Xiaoran sank into his heart: "This is what you said, you remember, if you regret it again, I will solve you with my own hands." ”
Yan Jin walked to the bed and reached out to stroke the messy hair in her ear: "What has happened in the past few years, why is it the second princess who inherits the throne." ”
Qu Xiaoran told her all the causes and consequences, she was thrilled to hear it, and she also heard her tears like rain, it turned out that the princess deliberately let her go, the princess knew everything, knew her fake death, and knew her unspeakable secrets.
Yan Jin bit his lip lightly: "Give me a moment for the sudden matter, let me say, I will definitely let him forgive his sins, okay?" ”
"This matter, we have to wait for the empress to wake up before making a decision, I'll go see the wounded soldiers, you can guard here." Qu Xiaoran returned to his polite appearance, and the anger in his heart disappeared.
After three days and three nights, she regained consciousness and woke up slowly, when she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face, she shook her head, and wanted to raise her hand to touch her face, but it touched her wound.
She gasped and woke up Yu Jin, she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Wanyan looking at her, her face was happy, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Empress, you are awake." ”
This voice awakened the depths of Xiao Wanyan's memory, as if she had heard it in her previous life, she kept staring and refused to take her eyes off: "Am I dead, or am I alive?" ”
Yan Jin shed tears excitedly: "Bah, the empress is in good health, you can't say that." ”
Yes, in the past, when Lu Jin was by her side, she always didn't like her to say inexplicable frustrating words, she sat up slowly, and Lu Jin carefully supported her: "Empress, but what else is uncomfortable?" ”
Xiao Wanyan shook her head, just looked at Lu Jin, for fear that she would slip away from her eyes again, and the guilt in her heart when she saw her appearance was even worse, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and pulled out a smile: "Empress, I have heard Qu Xiaoran say everything, you have suffered." ”
Xiao Wanyan pondered, recalling the day they assassinated Feng Ruyi, her heart was heavy, and she sighed: "I have some doubts, God let me live again, is it for me to give up my hatred and live an ordinary life again, otherwise, why can Feng Ruyi escape just right every time, just a little bit, just a little bit I can regain the throne"
After hearing this, he knelt down and repented: "Empress, the slave and maid are guilty, and the selfishness of the maid is to blame for harming you." ”
Xiao Wanyan hurriedly pulled her up: "What are you doing, get up quickly." ”
But no matter what Xiao Wanyan said, she didn't get up, in her heart she was already a heinous sinner, she never expected that her younger brother would have such a wolf-hearted thing.
Lu Jin bit his lip lightly: "Empress, don't worry, I will definitely personally send Lu Ran to you to make amends, and I will get everything you have suffered back for you." ”
In the past, the Great Liang Palace was guarded by guards with strong martial arts, and even the servants and maids were carefully selected to be sent to the palace.
Unexpectedly, one day, this will become the capital to subvert the imperial power, which is very ridiculous.
And the most chilling thing for Xiao Wanyan is the sorrow, at the beginning she did everything to please Ranran, and even dismissed all the services for her, and spoiled him alone, for this reason, the ministers of the court and the central government played one after another, saying that she was confused by the princess, brought disaster to the country and the people, and wanted to punish him according to law, but she couldn't bear it, and threatened the empress with her own life as a bet, and saved him.
As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Wanyan's heart was shattered into powder: "That's it, when my injury heals, I'll take you to see him." ”
Hearing this, Yu Jin's heart couldn't help but tremble, she had already heard of the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she didn't give up in order to achieve her goal: "Empress, that Chu Huairan is not a good person, you still live in my Baihuafang temporarily, although the environment is not good, but I will tell them not to disturb your rest." ”
Xiao Wanyan only then noticed the furnishings of the room and the dress of the brocade, she frowned: "Then Xu Meisheng is like this to you, I thought that he was infatuated with you, turned a blind eye, and he actually let you fall to Baihuafang?" ”
Lu Jin lowered his head and pursed his lips: "The princess, it's my own fault, I can't have children, it's difficult for our women to survive here." ”
Xiao Wanyan's heart moved, she raised her hand and touched the head of the brocade: "The brocade, come back to Daliang with me in the future, I will find a good husband for you to serve you." ”
For many years, Yu Jin didn't dare to give birth to the idea of returning to Daliang, with tears in her eyes, she knelt down and bowed to Xiao Wanyan, "Thank you for the mercy of the Empress." ”
A few days later, Xiao Wanyan recuperated and recuperated, and his health was generally good, and those wounded soldiers were temporarily arranged by the brocade to be a small servant in Baihuafang, which could be regarded as avoiding a storm.
Lu Jin went out to inquire about the news, and came back to report: "Feng Ruyi was imprisoned in the post house, which seems to be related to the poisoning of the Great Zhou Emperor. ”
Xiao Wanyan paused with the hand holding the pastry, and pondered carefully: "The Great Zhou Emperor was poisoned?" When did it happen? ”
Yan Jin told the truth: "Seven days ago, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly fell ill, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as a strange poison, and King Yi found many poisonous bamboo tubes in the post house, which were verified to be exactly the same as the poison in the emperor. ”
The people of Daliang only left on the front foot, and the back foot was found out by Qi Jiuchen, which was too coincidental, Xiao Wanyan always felt that this matter was inseparable from Qi Jiuchen: "What kind of poison is in the emperor?" ”
Yu Jin shook his head and said: "I don't know for the time being, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou has blocked the news, and the people sent out have not found out the news about the poison." ”
Xiao Wanyan can often hear rumors about the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty recently, she can't help but think about it, the Empress Dowager has controlled the government unprecedentedly, and Qi Jiuchen's intention of rebellion is obvious, but the emperor and King Yi are both her children, she seems to have reached a dead end, and she can't figure it out for a while.
Xiao Wanyan darkened her eyes: "Let people watch the Yi Palace, and report back in time once Qi Jiuchen has a move." ”
"Yes."
After staying in Baihuafang for so long, she was a little bored and panicked, but Qu Xiaoran said that she was still weak, so she let Yu Jin watch her and not let her go anywhere, and the only place where she could breathe was by the window.
She moved her arms: "Brocade, help me to the bedside to breathe." ”
Suddenly, Jin helped her, slowly walked over, she stood by the window, let the cool breeze blow her cheeks, very comfortable, she looked at the passers-by coming and going, and sighed for a while: people are really the smallest existence.
There were a few weird people in the crowd, they were dressed in official uniforms and holding papers in their hands, they asked when they met people, and posted a whole street, she was about to ask Lu Jin when she saw passers-by with frightened faces, and they all dodged, retreating to both sides, and when the crowd quieted down, a familiar figure broke into her field of vision, Chu Huairan, who was dressed in black, swept the faces of every passer-by with a cold expression that had not changed for thousands of years, Han Yi was carefully guarding on the side, and the papers in his hands were brought to the people one by one.
Yu Jin also noticed this strange scene, she casually glanced at Xiao Wanyan: "Empress, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been in chaos recently, and the Prime Minister's temperament is even more violent. ”
Xiao Wanyan snorted and smiled mockingly: "This is Chu Huairan, the prime minister who treats human life like a mustard, and found that the prey that he was playing with in the palm of his hand ran away, and he was furious. ”
Lu Jin couldn't figure out Xiao Wanyan's thoughts, and asked again: "Empress, what do you mean?" ”
Xiao Wanyan stared directly at Chu Huairan below, and hooked the corners of her lips: "Hang him for a few more days, he has repeatedly ruined my good deeds and hindered my plans, this time, I will definitely not be soft." ”
