Time goes back to that night in the moonlit ghost pit in the mountain forest.

After killing people, Yi Ren left, and looked indifferent between the crooked tombstones. It's completely different from the usual prodigal casualness.

The wind swept his hair, and the layer of white under the black hair seemed to be a little more.

He seemed to unintentionally raise his hand and touch it, grabbed one of them, and pulled them into sections between his fingers.

There was silence, and then, the tombstones suddenly moved.

It is not the soil under the tombstone that moves, but the body of the monument itself, under the moonlight, on the black soil, those tombstones, first pop out a pair of arms, and then drill out a head, it is really weird to see.

Yi Ren stared at it without blinking, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

This family likes to do things in secret, live in secret, and never want to walk in the sun in the open, as if they have such a disease that can't see the sun, and even their hearts are blackened by the night.

The "tombstones" made a creaking and rattling sound, and stood up, tall and short, men and women, dozens of people.

Among these people, there is nothing abnormal about women, but most of the men have white hair, some people are obviously not very old, but their hair is all white, not only their hair, but even their eyelashes and hair are white, even their pupils are pink and white, and the whole portrait is painted with white paint, and some people have normal hair, but the color of their pupils is very light, and it looks strange in the night.

These people dressed up as white tombstones are really seamless, but when they really become people, they feel terrible when they look at them.

"Ah Li, ah......" The first one smiled and greeted first, "Don't come unharmed?" ”

Yi Ren glanced at him and said coldly: "I can't see you, so I'm naturally fine." ”

The man looked at him with a very satisfied look in his eyes, as if he had seen a test that had finally succeeded, and said with a smile: "Ah Li, your black hair is not dyed, is it?" It seems that after so many years, you have really slowly improved. ”

Yi Renli picked up the white hair, pursed his lips, and said leisurely: "What does that have to do with you?" ”

The man in his thirties was silent, then changed the topic and said, "Ah Li, Ah Chong is dead." ”

Yi Renli was still blowing gray hair, "What does that have to do with me?" ”

The man seemed to have a good temper, and he was smiling all the time, but when he looked at him, it was like looking at a colorful poisonous snake. Even if the movements are careless, the muscles of the whole body are tense all the time.

"Ah Li, the family treated you a little inappropriately back then. But for so many years, the family has been looking for you. And now you see, you are almost better, although the family's methods are a little more ruthless, but in the final analysis, they are good for you. The man stepped forward and said earnestly, "Come back." The family is now facing the biggest crisis, what happened to you before, we have written it off, since you are already well, then after you come back, the future head of the family will definitely be yours. ”

"Yo." Yi Renli smiled, "After so many years, you are finally willing to say that the head of the family can give it to me, anyway, you would rather be cheap than those black-eyed chickens, right?" It's a shame that your son is dead, otherwise I wouldn't have heard this in my life. ”

The man choked, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his smile and said, "You kid, you are just scheming." For the superiors, they only ask about gains and losses, not about the process, why do I support you, why do you care? As long as I support you, you will become the head of Changchuan Yi's family, isn't it enough? ”

Yi Renli smiled, "Changchuan Yi ...... Yi Leshi has not given up for so many years. It seems that after so many years, Yijia's experiment has still not succeeded. What a retribution. Without waiting for the man to reply, he added, "What are you doing in ambush in this fierce pit in the middle of the night?" Ah Chong is dead, why don't you hurry up and take revenge? ”

"I'm just avenging Ah Chong."

Yi Renli was stunned and said, "You mean Wen Zhen...... No, Yan Sui killed Ah Chong? ”

"We originally had a big plan, once we succeeded, we could capture Yi Yanran's Xichuan without a single soldier. It was ruined by those two sluts. Not only ruined, but also killed Ah Chong. Ah Chong was originally the person in charge of this plan sent to Tianjing, but after the defeat, he originally escaped the pursuit of these two people, but was finally assassinated by Yan Sui. The man said in a deep voice, "King Yi is ruthless, and Ah Chong is still no match." But this revenge, I must take revenge. ”

"So the whole thing in Yun County is a bureau, and the real killer is in the person who seems to be the safest." Yi Ren smiled, "Shi Wensheng is your person." I had doubted him before, he always hung his head away from the gaze, not because he was cowardly, but because he was afraid that his eyelashes would be dyed. I lit the fire earlier, and when it shook in front of his eyes, he was a little afraid of light, and I was suspicious at the time. ”

"Ah Li, you have always been the smartest among the children." The man said earnestly, "Come back." Today we spent a lot of effort to prepare, originally no matter who came, we gave up when we saw you, and lost a good opportunity to assassinate Yan Sui Wenzhen, just to let you untie the knot and return to the family. Isn't this sincerity enough? ”

Yi Renli was silent for a while, and just when the man thought that he had been moved and showed joy, he suddenly said slowly: "If you want me to go back, aren't you afraid that I will kill people again?" ”

The man shook slightly.

Yi Renli has been asking constantly.

"I even dare to kill my own father, aren't you afraid that the head of the family will also be slaughtered by me?"

"When I left, although I broke my leg and twelve ribs, I almost lost my life blind, but how many people you died, have you counted?"

"Because of my departure, the vitality of the Changchuan Yi family was greatly damaged, and even the test site was destroyed by me, and after that, it was pressed and beaten by Xichuan Yi for many years, have you forgotten?"

"Have you forgotten, will the head of the family and the elders of the clan forget?"

"Even if the head of the family has the power and status to forget for the future of the family, what about those who I killed? And what about those branches that have suffered huge losses? What about those who have dedicated their lives to the experimental site for many years? Will they forget? ”

"Do you want me to go back to be the head of the house, or do you want me to go back and die?"

……

After a long time, the man said in a deep voice: "Ah Li." When you have power, you are not afraid of any retribution. ”

"That's what you're talking about, right? For example, you seem to be mixing well now, so you can bring people to Tianjing to solve the problem of the Changchuan Yi family. I see, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your battle is really different. Tsk, Forgetful Flute, Demon Mirror, Broken Flower, Loam, Crystal Sword Seed...... Now that you have the power to use this kind of thing, it's exciting to think about......"

"The fierce ghost pit is Yan Sui's place of deception. We've investigated, and he hasn't been through the mountains since that incident. Therefore, Wen Zhen's carriage entered here, only by the sound of the mountain wind transformed by the flute, confused by the fragrance of the cut off flowers, and met the illusion born by the demon mirror, no matter which door she broke into, it was the door of death, and the only one who could be regarded as having a way to survive had to be buried instantly by the loam, she was just a cheap life, we were coming, but it was just for Yan Sui, who was chasing after him, he couldn't let the woman he liked be buried with the ghosts of the fierce ghost pit, so how would he worship in the future? Is he afraid of the women who will tear him apart day and night in the future? So he will definitely come in, when he killed those hundreds of unlucky ghosts, he was planted with blood, as long as he touched the soil, those crystal sword seeds would be summoned, and shoot towards all places where there were blood seeds. And the blood seed will also explode in the body...... You see, is it a game of death? The man said regretfully, "Look, how many years have we had to find such a thing, and how long have we waited to have such an opportunity, but we have given up the mortal situation for you to be able to kill Yan Sui, isn't it sincere enough?" ”

Yi Ren pursed his thin lips and smiled faintly.

Is it sincerity, or is the Changchuan Yi family almost at the point of life and death, so I remembered him?

I guess it's the latter, look at what they've been doing recently, everything is full of extreme desperation and madness, it seems that people are dying, and their actions are also crazy.

"Makes sense."

Without waiting for the other party to show joy, he said, "But I won't go back." ”

"You don't want to kidnap me or force me, you should know my character, looking at your appearance, the Changchuan Yi family may have a good seed left with me." Yi Ren left the corner of his lips with a deep sneer, especially when he said the three words "good seeds", "So if you don't want to destroy this kind of seed in the end, just be honest and go back to your Changchuan." Less tossing, less demonization, maybe you can live a few more years. For the sake of you not making a move today, I will not go to sue you with anyone. Now,. ”

He turned around and left, and behind him, the man suddenly said, "Are you going back to that Wen Zhen?" Isn't the head of the dignified Yi family going to be the person you want to be like someone else's guard helper? Do you think that after tonight, Yan Sui, or her, will still trust you? ”

Yi Renli stopped and didn't speak for a long time. Just when the man raised his eyebrows and wanted to make persistent efforts, Yi Renli suddenly laughed.

"So what? I don't have to go back to anyone. What I want is freedom, the freedom of my own life. Wen Zhen didn't have any kindness to me, and he didn't care much about me. But she gave me tolerance and trust. She knew that I was from a good city, but she never looked down on me; My first encounter with her was not very pleasant, and we didn't get along much afterwards, and she had reason to be wary of me, but she quickly trusted me. She handed over the Wen family's outer house to me, she handed over the affairs of the rivers and lakes to me, she handed over the silver she earned to me, I like the small things of Yiwangfu, she also gave it to me, she didn't ask what I did, she didn't ask what I wanted, she didn't ask anything about my unusual background, she didn't ask a word when she knew it, she never thought about what to do with my identity, she was sure that I didn't have a bad heart, so she regarded me as myself, as the simplest person, and treated me as a normal friend, just by virtue of this, I was grateful - how many years I have been the expected person, forced to add so many requirements and expectations, Father does not become a father, mother does not become a mother, who knows that what I want in the end is actually very simple? ”

No one behind him spoke again.

"I have forgotten my original name, and now my name is Yi Renli. I didn't change my surname because I wanted to remember where I came from, and don't you understand the meaning of this name? ”

……

He carried his family away in the cold moon mountain wind, and his back was carved in the dark green jungle and pale white mist of the mountains in the early morning.

There was no turning back.

The middle-aged man looked disapproving, sneered, and said in a low voice, "You have to come back after all." ”

His eyes fell on the back of Yi Renli who refused to look back, so he didn't see the faces of the clansmen behind him, some of them were blind, some of them had only half of their white hair left, and some of them had strange skin, because the discussion of freedom and simplicity when Yi Renli left was faintly revealed, faint envy and deep sadness.

……

Wen Zhen wore a brand-new green official uniform of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple and walked on the square in front of Jingren Palace.

She was a little disgusted with her new work clothes, feeling that she looked like a moving green-haired turtle, and the color of the palace robe of the low-ranking eunuchs in the palace was too similar, and she would accidentally enter the play and be a eunuch.

The reason why she thinks like this is because she has not calmed down now, she was hurriedly summoned, she was worried that as soon as she saw Emperor Lao Tzu, she would be angry, and she would be angry that Emperor Lao Tzu favored Yan Sui's shameless one, and then did something to lose her head.

But at the same time, she was also glad that she was summoned immediately, otherwise there would be another real thunder and earth fire with Yan Sui in the mansion, she would definitely not be able to control her temper this time, and if she assassinated the prince or she was strangled to death by the prince, it would be a big loss.

When he entered Jingren Palace, through the window sash, he saw Tang Xianzhi standing up and saying goodbye to the emperor.

The emperor seemed to say something, turned his head to see her, pointed at her with a smile, and said something to Tang Xianzhi.

Tang Xianzhi smiled. He bowed to the Emperor again.

Wen Zhen looked at this scene through the window, and inexplicably had a strange feeling, as if something unexpected was about to happen.

Tang Xianzhi's smile was like the smile he saw for the first time in the nameless mountain and across the pond, clean, clear, hazy, and shining.

There was also a little more joy from the heart.

Immediately, Tang Xianzhi came out, saw her, and very considerately opened the heavy partition door and motioned her to enter.

This work was originally done by the little eunuch, but now the eunuch was standing next to him with nothing to do, smiling as Wen Zhen was served by Tang Gongzi.

Tang Xianzhi saw that Wen Zhen stopped there and didn't come in, but he wasn't in a hurry, so he smiled and helped, as if he had been waiting for her if she didn't come in.

Wen Zhen began to be frightened again - she knew that Tang Xianzhi had always been good to her, and she still had a sense of distance at the beginning, and she didn't know when that kind of "good" had become all kinds of intentional or unintentional confessions and pursuits, but she felt that her attitude should be obvious.

For a smart person like him, there is no need to refuse sharply, that kind of attitude is enough, Tang Xianzhi did not disappoint her, from the beginning when she was separated from the inside and outside, he has never been stalked.

Can be ...... today

She finally raised her foot, crossed the threshold, and very cautiously, gave Tang Xianzhi a standard salute.

The emperor smiled and said, "How long will you two respect each other at the threshold?" Okay, go ahead. ”

Tang Xianzhi turned around and saluted, smiled with Wen Zhen, and floated away. Wen Zhen tried his best to stop himself from turning his head to ponder his back, for fear of giving the emperor another "reluctant to give up", she is nothing, thick-skinned, and can stand up to jokes, but can his young son hear it?

The hall is very quiet, the emperor is reading alone, unlike the emperor in the TV series that Wen Zhen has watched, this does not have a full-time loyal old eunuch general around him, he seems to be on duty in front of whom, and he prefers young eunuchs, and the arrogant little eunuch Qingming often comes to pass on his will.

Seeing Wen Zhen, he put down the book and pointed to a small stool in front of him. In front of him, important ministers have always had seats, and Wen Zhen is a woman, and she also has this favor.

As soon as Wen Zhen's buttocks were on the stool, he heard the emperor ask, "Did you quarrel with Yan Sui?" ”

Wen Zhen almost knocked over the stool!

Be frightened!

Your Majesty, can you be like an emperor?

What kind of noise does the husband want to talk to his daughter-in-law and adjust the conflict between his daughter-in-law?

The emperor pointed at her with the book and said, "Don't think about it, I can't take care of so many idle things." It's just a rare thing to look at your bad face. I don't think I'm the only virtuous son who can provoke you like this. ”

Wen Zhen said that he thought so, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is joking." How dare the minister be angry with His Highness. ”

No matter how amiable the emperor is, she has always upheld a respectful and solemn attitude - it is someone's upbringing to give you face, it doesn't mean that you don't know how to advance or retreat.

The emperor smiled, and did not argue with her about this issue, and after a while, he suddenly said, "I still have something to do, and I won't go around the bush." I asked you, if I give you and Yan Sui a marriage, how will you stay? ”

Wen Zhen's heart jumped, and he looked up at the emperor's eyes.

The emperor's eyes were gentle, but he couldn't see too much emotion.

She immediately left her seat and fell prostrate to the ground, "The posture of the minister, born in the late cold, dare not ask for a match for the nobles of the heavens." ”

The emperor didn't speak, nor did he shout, and after a while, he said, "I heard that you said the same thing in front of Concubine De." ”

Wen Zhen lowered his head and said: "Even in front of His Highness, the minister said the same." ”

"So, is that what you're talking about? Think before answering. I am the Son of Heaven, and I cannot be fooled. If you answer hastily today, you will regret it in the future, and you will not be able to tolerate it. ”

Wen Zhen paused.

Is it from the heart?

Yes and no.

As she said at the beginning, she liked the exaggerated beauty, and later she liked the strong and pure heart, he was loose and uncertain, he was not naïve, he knew the world's deepest love but the most infatuated love in the world, and he was free to walk with style.

So the sentence "unworthy" is not true, she has never felt that she is not worthy of anyone, she knows that she can be liked by Yan Sui because of her own brilliance, she is from modern times, wise and independent, there is no lack of insight into the world and a thorough understanding of life, she is worthy of the best man in the world.

However, matching does not mean fit.

Just as liking doesn't mean accepting.

She is not a simple and persistent Junke, she feels that she should be together if she likes it, and she can give up everything for this.

She is not a passionate and indulgent Jing Hengbo, for a person who likes to go all over the world, everything in the world is beautiful, but he is not as beautiful as he is in his heart.

She is not a strong and sincere Taishi, she is not moved, and her heart is everything.

She likes, is tempted, and walks away.

For her, there are too many things in this world that come before love.

Her life, her safety, her freedom, her happiness.

She is not the ideal daughter-in-law of Concubine De, nor may she be the ideal daughter-in-law of the emperor, she only marries by heart, in the face of such a powerful in-law, she is vulnerable in terms of identity and ethics, how can she deal with possible tribulations?

She can't have children, but Yan Sui is a favored prince, and the concubine will definitely be on the agenda in the future, she wants to be a man with a group of women?

Not to mention that she may not be able to be a concubine, that is, she and a group of little wives pick up the scum left by the concubine, and look at the concubine's eyes after asking for peace every day.

Marrying into the palace, her whole Dongtang wants to open all over the rivers and lakes, her great idea of wanting to improve the food structure of Dongtang and enrich the dining table of Dongtang people, her new Dongtang cooking school...... Since then, it has been a dream pressed in the dusty dowry, right?

If it's like that, then what's the happiness?

Even if she is faint from her exaggerated beauty, what happened today is enough for her to wake up.

Different times, different statuses, different backgrounds, and too different views are too different, and it is very difficult to integrate them.

Perhaps he thought it was good for her, but she hated it.

And this kind of thing, when each other's lives become more and more deeply intertwined, will become more and more frequent.

At that time, even the current love and love will be gone.

Yan Sui is very good, she likes it very much, but she can't get married.

She smiled slightly, her eyes were still crooked, and every light seemed to flow honey, but the bottom of her eyes covered by her dense eyelashes was helpless and depressed that no one could see.

"Your Majesty, of course it is true. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a crime of deceit? ”

The emperor stared at her and whispered for a while, "I can see that you have intentions for the third child. But you don't marry...... Let me guess, you refused to marry because Concubine De didn't like you and felt that she couldn't be a concubine, right? ”

Wen Zhen was a little helpless in amazement.

Your Majesty, you're fit to cross.

You are suitable for reverse wear to modern times, and you are definitely welcome to warm men.

The emperor said, "What if I allow you to be a concubine?" ”

Wen Zhen smiled again, kowtowed to the emperor, and said with a sigh: "My emperor is merciful!" But Your Majesty, it is precisely because you treat the minister like this that the minister is more and more unable to marry His Royal Highness the King Yi. ”

The Emperor looked at her quietly.

"Minister...... I can't have children. ”

When this sentence was spoken, Wen Zhen felt a slight coldness in his heart.

I don't know if it's because my heart is close to the blue brick floor and is frozen.

Sometimes when it is said that Yun Huijian cuts the love silk, she doesn't know if this is a Hui sword, but as soon as this sentence comes out, it means that her fate with the royal family and Yan Sui has been completely cut off.

She carried the sword with her own hands, and the sword was cold.

The royal family will never want a daughter-in-law who cannot have children.

The emperor also seemed to have some surprise, his eyes widened slightly, and after a while, he smiled a little helplessly, and sighed: "You are really ...... Does Yan Sui know? ”

Wen Zhen mentioned 120,000 caution and immediately replied: "Chen's symptoms were still diagnosed in Yiwangfu. The emperor was silent for a while, and then said: "In this case, I have done my best, and I am not sorry for the third child." Wen Zhen was surprised when he heard this, looked up at him, and listened to the emperor: "Wen Zhen, are you willing to marry Tang Xianzhi?" ”

……

Although there was a certain amount of preparation in his heart, when Wen Zhen heard this, he was still shocked.

Tang Xianzhi ...... just now It's really proposing marriage to the emperor!

But...... Why?

The emperor seemed to see what she was thinking, and said, "I don't know why he suddenly came to ask me for marriage. It's just that the conditions he put forward made me very excited. He said, if he can have you as his wife, he is willing to serve in Tianjing and drive the court for eternity. ”

Wen Zhen's eyes widened.

This condition is so unexpected, how could Tang Xianzhi do this for her?

She suddenly remembered that Tang Xianzhi and Yan Sui were arguing a while ago, and they had hinted that they would serve in Tianjing, could it be that they had that idea at that time?

But how ridiculous! The Tang family and the royal family can hardly coexist, the Tang family brothers and sisters stayed in Tianjing because Yan Sui spent countless efforts to detain it, Tang Xianzhi has not moved for so long and tried to return to northern Sichuan, which has surprised Wen Zhen, and he thought that he was keeping some behind, he has been careful, and he is ready to wake up one night Tang Xianzhi is gone.

As a result, now he says he is willing to stay in Tianjing for the rest of his life for her?

He doesn't want the Tang family?

Surrendered to the imperial court?

No way. The land of the three states, the real power stabbing history, the prospect of the great temptation of direct splitting independence, the pigs will not give up.

In her opinion, Tang Xianzhi's sanity is still above Yan Sui, even if he Tang Xianzhi is split into countless cells, each cell does not contain one thousandth of the molecule "love seed".

Magical realism, this life.

The impact was so great that she felt that her pupils were dilating, and the emperor opposite was speaking one by one, and the voice entered her ears intermittently.

“…… You must know that Tang Xianzhi made such a request, and I must comply with it. Whether it is true or not, if he says so, the courtiers must rejoice, and this condition is too tempting for peace or for the court...... I will make it clear to you today, I need to leave Tang Xianzhi, and I also need someone to help me look at him for a long time, it is not a matter to always stay in Yansui Mansion, I heard that Tang Xiaocheng has been sick recently, and I want a letter to ask him to go back to serve the sick, this dynasty rules the world with filial piety, no one can stop him anymore, and now he proposes this article himself, I am reluctant to refuse...... I know that I have wronged you, so as long as you agree, I will give you another two levels, if you don't want to stay in Guanglu Temple, you can choose all the official positions at the same level. If you want to find seeds, improve grain or even grow vegetables in greenhouses, I can set up a special division for you, hand it over to you, and implement it uniformly across the country. You don't want to be an official in the future, I may leave the power at any time, and you can take it away from you. I can also promise that if the Tang family is in trouble in the future, I will send someone to protect you, and the Tang family's crimes have nothing to do with you. ”

Wen Zhen looked at the emperor, and suddenly felt that Yan Sui's wisdom and close to the demon did not follow Concubine De, but followed the emperor.

The Emperor actually knew what she really cared about in her heart!

Every condition he put forward made her unable to refuse, and every condition was extremely generous!

She is the emperor's courtier, and what the emperor must do, she must also be done.

All it takes is a will, and if you don't want to do it, you have to do it, and he didn't have to give her so much.

Wen Zhen felt a slight amount of gratitude in his heart.

Not for these lucrative conditions, but for those words that were said before this request was made.

is so desperate to need her to be close to this, in the face of this irresistible temptation proposed by Tang Xianzhi, he still asked her what she thought of Yan Sui first, not wanting to ruin his son's marriage.

Others treat me with sincerity, how dare I repay them with resentment.

"I need time." The emperor said to her, "Regardless of whether Tang Xianzhi's proposal is sincere or not, the court will have a buffer when he agrees." He must stay in Tianjing for a while, if he stays in Tianjing, the court can make more preparations, and the Tang family will have one more layer of constraints. ”

Wen Zhen looked at his sincere eyes, thinking that today was really a day when everyone had to face temptation.

Tang Xianzhi tempted the emperor, and the emperor tempted her.

However, this is really a temptation that suits her heart, just a marriage, the other party is her once almost tempted son, there is no shortage of family background, status, wealth, and talents, no matter who sees her marrying or she climbing, and then she can also get a position, freedom, and the opportunity to develop hobbies.

For these things, which are already ranked before love, to promise a marriage that does not suffer losses is simply something that does not need to be thought about.

It's just that my heart still aches faintly.

She opened her eyes wide, and crossed the crimson window lattice, and saw that the vines were withered out of nowhere, and some dark yellow fallen leaves flew into the window lattice, and there was a little eunuch guarding the window, and the fallen leaves were thrown out with a small broom, and those leaves had not yet found the last bit of warmth, but they were crisply cracked at the tips of those hard brooms.

That slight crack sounded like it sounded in my ears and fell on my heart.

Where is the Liyue Moon, unable to sleep in the red dust, who breaks the orchestra under the lonely flower window, and the song in my heart will never be heard again.

She curled her eyes slightly, and leaned down again.

"Minister, I am willing to marry."

------Off topic------

The wife-chasing mode officially starts today!

Give a monthly pass, and I'll let the little short legs of coriander essence chase faster!
