Chapter 225: Dying
The sun is rising, and many ladies and ladies of large families have just gotten up, but for those ministers who rush to court every day, it is already the time to go to court.
"These people are simply too deceitful, the salt luck is clearly the credit of the prince, that Zhang Wen shamelessly said that it was the idea of the five princes! It's really infuriating to me! Prime Minister Fang has been complaining since he walked out of the palace gate.
Hearing this, the minister who was traveling with him hurriedly bumped into Prime Minister Fang quietly, and whispered comfortingly: "The prime minister is angry, the fifth prince and the crown prince have always been at odds with each other. This time, Prime Minister Fang stood up for the crown prince and spoke up, causing the emperor to change his mind, the five princes may have a grudge against you in their hearts, you have to be very careful in your actions during this time, don't be caught by the people of the five princes and their party, otherwise the five princes will definitely attack you to death! ”
"Hmph, our virtuous people are sitting upright, what kind of trick is there to be caught by them! If they want to do it, just come after me! Fang Xian's words were said very loudly, and some of the ministers who went down to the court around him secretly cast admiring glances at Fang Xian, and some showed a sneer of disdain, but Fang Xian only didn't realize it, and still walked out of the palace gate with his head held high.
Today, Fang Xian was going to the nearby city to deal with some official business, and by the time he came back, it was already dark, and Fang Xian was bent on entering the city before the city gate was closed, so he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage as fast as possible.
"Huh-" The coachman is an old man from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the car has always been fast and steady, but today is somehow a sudden stop, and Fang Xian's whole body almost flew out of the carriage for a while.
"Be careful, sir! Protect the Lord! Before Fang Xian could go out to inquire, the anxious voices of the coachmen and guards sounded outside.
Fang Xian's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, he didn't care about tidying up his messy clothes, and hurriedly checked the situation outside through the small window on the carriage, and at this glance, he happened to see several black-clothed people rushing towards the direction of the carriage with knives.
Looking at the outfits of these people, they don't look like ordinary mountain bandits, are they really said by Lu Han's crow's mouth - someone can't see him and wants to attack him?
Before Fang Xian could think about it, the carriage, which was already crumbling, suddenly shook violently again.
He didn't expect something to happen this time, so he didn't bring a few guards out, looking at the menacing appearance of the black-clothed people outside, his guards might not last long. While thinking about it, Fang Xian opened the curtain and wanted to escape from the carriage, and at this time, a guard covered in blood jumped into the carriage, "Master, the horse was killed by them, we can't hold it for long, Master get out of the car and run for your life!" With that, the guard half-pulled and half-helped Fang Xian out of the carriage.
Fang Xian was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly ran in the direction of the city gate under the cover of the guards.
Meng Yi was now in the direction where he could just see Fang Xian's panicked and fleeing figure, he hid motionless in the dark, until he saw Fang Xian fall down with bruises all over his body, he rushed out as fast as a sharp arrow off the string.
And Fang Xian looked at the bright blade above his head, and thought that he was going to confess here today, but he didn't expect that the expected pain did not come, but instead there was a 'bang' sound in his ears, as if something was blocking the falling blade.
He looked up and saw a figure fighting with those black-clothed people with ease, Fang Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Meng Yi, you're really here!" ”
Meng Yi didn't look back when he heard this, but after he had repelled those black-clothed people, he hurriedly walked to Fang Xian's side and said worriedly, "My lord, are you okay?" ”
Fang Xian shook his head, but his expression was painful and covered with a shoulder wound on his body.
Seeing that Fang Xian's face was pale, Meng Yi hurriedly bent down and carried Fang Xian on his shoulders, and then rushed towards the direction of the city gate.
This night, Fang's house was in a mess, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that it was quiet.
"I'll go first." Meng Yi, who had been guarding the door of the room, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Xian's situation stabilize, and prepared to go home.
Fang Mengru, who had been busy with Fang Xian's injury, seemed to have just noticed Meng Yi, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you Brother Fang so much today, I will find an opportunity to come to the door to thank Brother Fang in person another day." ”
Fang Mengru's eyes were still a little dodgy when she spoke, thinking that she hadn't completely let go of the marriage proposal turmoil in her heart.
"Are you still so polite to me? Take good care of Lord Fang, I'm leaving. "Meng Yi is still as gentle as ever.
Fang Mengru reluctantly pursed her lips and smiled, and after Meng Yi walked away, she entered the house with a depressed expression.
Xu was because the wound on his body was too painful, and Fang Xian hadn't stopped when Fang Mengru entered the house, "Meng Yi's matter, you really don't think about it anymore?" ”
"Dad, didn't my daughter already tell her father all her thoughts last time, why are you still holding on to this matter?" As soon as she heard Fang Xian mention her and Meng Yi, Fang Mengru felt that one head and two were big - the last time Fang Xian came back and learned that she had rejected Meng Yi's proposal, he beat her down fiercely. She thought that this matter would be in the past, but she didn't expect her father to still think about it.
"Do you think I'm trying to hold on to this?! Your mother died early, and in the end, your father has to worry about these things for you! You have also seen the situation in the court now, my father almost lost his life if he didn't pay attention to it! Dad doesn't look at Meng Yi as a good person, and he is not a person in the court, when you marry him, you will be able to stay away from this muddy water, Dad, this is all for your good! Sizzle......"
Fang Xian was so angry by Fang Mengru's stubborn attitude that he accidentally touched the wound on his body in excitement, and gasped in pain.
"Dad, I didn't say that Meng Gongzi is bad, it's just that my daughter really doesn't have a love for Meng Gongzi, is it good for my daughter that my father forced his daughter to marry someone her daughter doesn't love?" Fang Mengru turned her head angrily, looking at that look, it seemed that she didn't want to say more to Fang Xian.
It's just that Fang Xian was targeted in the court, and his daughter, who had been spoiled by him for more than ten years, was not obedient when he returned home, Fang Xian was almost so angry that he didn't mention it in one breath, "Okay, you have your own ideas, you have had your own ideas since you were a child, and my fatherhood is superfluous for you!" Get out of here, don't come to me again until you figure it out, or my old bones won't be able to hold you back a few times! cough cough cough ......"
"Daddy......" Seeing Fang Xian coughing violently, Fang Mengru was helpless and distressed.
Xiao Cui on the side saw that her young lady was about to speak, so she hurriedly reached out and pulled the hem of her young lady's clothes, and whispered: "Okay, Miss, the master is injured now, don't make the old man angry now, what do we have to say until the old man is better, now let's let the old man rest well......
Xiao Cui persuaded Fang Mengru half-pulled and half-dragged Fang Mengru out.
……
Lin Yingxue had also heard about what had happened in the Fang family these days, and just as she was planning to go to the Fang family to visit Fang Mengru, the Lin family also had bad news-
After the accident of the Lin family, the people of the Lin family were scattered, and the old lady didn't want to cause trouble to a few daughters-in-law, so she didn't follow anyone, but went to live alone in a nunnery where the Lin family had been donating incense, preparing for the next half of the green lantern ancient Buddha, and praying for the Lin family to bless the grandchildren of the Lin family for the rest of their lives.
It's just that the old lady is old, and life in the nunnery is hard, and there is only a loyal old lady left around to take care of her daily life...... After such a toss, the old man's body gradually began to be unbearable.
I heard that the old man was sick some time ago, but there was no news until the illness in the past two days, and the doctor said that the old lady was afraid that she would not be able to hold on, so the old lady sent a message to Lin Yingxue and others, and asked Lin Yingxue and others to go to the temple to see her for the last time.
Let's not talk about how the old lady of the Lin family treated her before her death, at least Lin Yingxue is still the granddaughter of the old lady in name, if the old lady is terminally ill and she doesn't even go over to take a look, she will definitely be poked in the future Even the backbone will be poked by someone, because Lin Yingxue hurriedly rushed to the nunnery after receiving the news, and the thoughts of the other Lin family members are probably the same, so soon everyone in the Lin family gathered in the nunnery.
"Mother!" The Tang family and the Hua family have a mediocre relationship with the old lady, and among all the Lin family, I am afraid that the only ones who really feel sorry for the old lady are the eldest lady Liu and the fourth old lady Lin Zhengwen.
"What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet!" Seeing that Liu threw himself on the side of the bed as soon as he came in and wiped her tears, the old lady couldn't help but snort, but this voice was weak and powerless, and it completely lost its previous majesty.
At this moment, lying in front of Lin Yingxue was an ordinary old lady who was described as withered and thin, and most of the relatives around her at this time, including Lin Yingxue, looked indifferent, and Tang's face even showed a little disgust.
At this moment, she suddenly thought, when she returns to old age in a hundred years, will her children and grandchildren also watch her life pass away little by little indifferently?
The old lady took everyone's hands and said something serious when she was dying, and finally drove everyone out, leaving only Lin Yingling.
"Grandmother, if you have anything to say, just say it." The old lady was still good to Lin Yingling's granddaughter before her death, so the sadness that Lin Yingling revealed at the moment was not all disguise.
"Yingling, Yingsheng is the only seedling of the Lin family, you have to protect your brother no matter what, and you can't let him be hurt a little! Do you remember? The old lady's eyes widened, and her cloudy eyes looked a little terrible under the forceful widening.
Lin Yingling nodded stunnedly, and responded: "Grandmother, rest assured, Yingling will definitely let Yingsheng grow up safely." ”
Seeing that Lin Yingling was so sensible, the old lady couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, but the strength in her hand did not relax, "There is another thing that your father and your third uncle - your third uncle is just that, your father will not ask until the beginning of autumn, and you can find a way to rescue your father when you have a few months!" Everything he did was for our Lin family, you can't just watch your father die! ”
"Grandmother, Yingling is just a small daughter's family, and his father is guilty of capital crimes...... "If the former request is enough, this latter request Lin Yingling really can't do it."
"No, you can! You can! You can! The old lady seemed to be in a state of madness, she grabbed Lin Yingling's slender wrist with all her strength, and watching the face full of furrows approaching her little by little, Lin Yingling felt a panic in her heart for no reason.
"Ahh She finally couldn't help but let out a scream.
