Chapter 31: Severed Hands
Ye Tingfeng clenched his teeth, and his eyes were slightly red. Don't run away, wait to be sent out again? With the trajectory of the previous life, she lost the courage to stay there and stand with Emperor Jianning.
"Singing?" Princess Allure looked up at Lingxi and said, "I hurt like this, you let me sing?" ”
"Don't want to sing Dongfanghong? Sing that one you like. Lingxi said again.
"I don't want to sing......" Princess Allure suddenly twisted her little face. She grabbed Lingxi's hand tightly, leaned forward, and yelled as she exerted herself, "Leng Tuo, your uncle!" ”
A baby's cry of 'wow' was heard, and the baby was born.
The female imperial physician held the newborn baby, and knelt down to the princess with a room of minions, and congratulated her with a smile.
Princess Allure pinned her face full of cold sweat to the bed, gasped deeply and muttered, "The son of the world is a fart, and the old lady won't let him be the son of the world." ”“
When the princess of Allure was so tired that she fell asleep, King Rong was already the first to make the decision, and took the milk doll in his arms and named it Leng Yao.
He is the concubine of the royal palace and the son of the world.
After Xiao Shizi was born, Yefu had two newborn babies. The family sits together with nothing to do, and the most talked about is the parenting scripture.
On February 15 of the fifth year of Yongning, Wu Fengtian said goodbye to Xie Ruyu and set off to return to Dayue.
When Wu Fengtian left, he heard Feng go to the stone bridge to say goodbye.
No matter how she was doing in Dayue, and how chaotic her relationship with the Wu family was, the elegant man in front of her had never done anything unfavorable to her, and he was helping her through the difficulties.
Ye Tingfeng thanked Wu Fengtian from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Ruyu's expression was gloomy, his head was lowered, and he held Ye Tingfeng's hand tightly. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "Madam, if the emperor doesn't ask Madame, Ruyu won't say it." If the emperor asked...... Ruyu can't deceive the king. ”
Ye Tingfeng nodded, understanding that this was Xie Ruyu's biggest regression. As a daughter of a family, she can't help but think about the entire Xie family.
After Wu Fengtian and Xie Ruyu left, the Ye Mansion quieted down. The princess of Allure, who can toss on weekdays, is in confinement, and she is seen dead by King Rong.
Li Linghan began to follow his master to learn and practice kung fu, and he rarely had time to stay in the back house during the day. Li Qingyan and the little county lord are girls after all, and there is a limit to being naughty.
Lingxi runs at two ends every day, sometimes going to Luoxi Xuan, who listens to Feng at night, and sometimes going to Xiaoxiang Courtyard to chat with the princess of Allure.
The days passed indifferently in the warmth of water.
On the seventeenth day of February in the fifth year of Yongning, the princess of Allure gave birth to a little son for ten days, Wu Fengtian and Xie Ruyu left on the third day, and Li Lingyi returned from the capital.
was alone, with no guards on his side, and he didn't even send a message back before entering the gate of Ye Mansion.
After learning that Xie Ruyu had left, Li Lingyi turned on his horse and left.
Looking at Li Lingyi, who left without even drinking tea in the mansion, Lingxi suddenly felt that he was old, really old......
Seeing Lingxi standing in front of the stone bridge in a daze, Li Qingyan raised her head and pulled Lingxi's sleeve and shook it gently, "Mother, the weather is good today, let's go and put the paper kite with Ruyi." ”
Lingxi smiled with bent eyes, bent down and gently pinched Li Qingyan's white and tender cheeks, and said, "Okay, go and call Bing'er, my mother will take you to the stream to put paper kites." ”
Li Qingyan cheered and ran away, while Lingxi turned around and instructed Xiao Dezi and Lotus Ye to prepare paper kites and other things.
Due to the good weather, Yeting Feng was also pulled.
On the wide grass in the backyard of Yefu, Li Qingyan and the little county lord ran around with a long cotton thread, like two colorful butterflies dancing.
Ye Tingfeng sat on the grass, leaned his head on Lingxi's shoulder, and called softly, "Mother......"
Lingxi hummed softly.
I heard Feng scream again, "Mother......"
"What do you want to do?" Lingxi reached out and pinched the tip of Ye Tingfeng's tender white nose, and asked with a smile.
"It's just screaming." Ye Tingfeng lay down, pillowed his head on Lingxi's lap, and replied softly.
Listening to Feng's long green silk at night, Lingxi smiled, "Feng'er, do you think Yi'er can catch up with that Miss Xie?" ”
Feng'er thought to herself, Yi'er caught up well. There are lovers and should be together. Listening to Feng squinting his eyes and listening to the laughter and laughter of his younger brothers and sisters in the distance, his heart was as calm as a puddle of clear water.
"Yes, lovers should be together." Lingxi touched Ye Tingfeng's white face with his fingers, and said, "Feng'er, forget what you can't keep, don't ignore the person in front of you." ”
Ye Tingfeng raised his head, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, "The person in front of you?" ”
"Silly boy...... Lingxi sighed without pointing out, and looked up to see the paper kite flying into the sky.
Three months later, Wu Fengtian came to Rongcheng, the border of Dashun, alone.
After releasing the carrier pigeon in Rongcheng, he stayed at the Donglai Inn and waited for news from Wu Yue.
He wants to determine whether the grudge between Wu Yue and Wu Yang has been resolved. If it is solved, it will not be a problem for him to return to Beijing. If it is not resolved, he will be sent to death when he returns to Beijing.
Wu Yang's palm that hurt him a year ago was quite heavy, and he has not healed yet.
On the eighth day of the carrier pigeon's flight, Wu Fengtian received a reply, Wu Yue wrote a word, wait!
What to wait for, how long to wait, is not said.
After another ten days, Wu Yue came to the Rongcheng Donglai Inn and stood in front of Wu Fengtian.
Seeing Wu Yue, who was dressed in white and sitting in front of him with a cold face, Wu Fengtian was shocked.
When they were separated outside the imperial city a year ago, Wu Yue was fine, but at this time, she had lost her left hand.
Wu Yue's left hand was severed from his wrist, and judging from the healing of the wound, it was not a close injury.
Facing Wu Fengtian's surprised gaze, Wu Yue said indifferently, "Wu Yang has played a trick on me, in order not to die, I can only give up my left hand." ”
"Wu Yang is playing Gu on you?" The answer that Wu Yue said was no less exciting than Wu Fengtian's broken hand.
The ancestors of the Wu family taught that the Wu family was not allowed to use Gu in internal fighting.
Wu Yang, as a national teacher and the patriarch of the Wu family, how could he know his mistakes and make mistakes?
As if seeing Wu Fengtian's doubts, Wu Yue sneered and said, "If Wu Yang didn't use Gu, he would have died at my hands." Besides......" Wu Yue raised her eyebrows, "I was expelled from the Wu family by Wu Xiong a long time ago, and I was no longer a Wu family member in Wu Yang's heart. ”
"Wu Yue," looking at Wu Yue, who was sneering and drinking tea in front of him, Wu Fengtian asked the question that had been pressed in his heart for a year, "Why did you kill Wu Xia, why did Wu Yang kill you, why did you let Mo Mei pretend to be a princess?" ”
Wu Yue went to listen to Jane, and only heard the word Mo Mei, "Where is Mo Mei?" Where did you take her this year? ”
"Mome is fine, she's where she's supposed to be." Wu Fengtian replied lightly, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”
The corners of Wu Yue's lips twitched slightly, and she gave an unusually concise answer, "Kill Wu Xia because she deserves to die." Wu Yang killed me because I shouldn't be alive. Let Mo Mei enter the palace because she will become the mother of the country. ”
The first two sentences were nonsense, and the last sentence shocked Wu Fengtian's thoughts, and then anger appeared in his eyes, "Wu Yue, you almost killed her!" Pretending to be a princess, do you know how big a crime it is? ”
Wu Yue raised her eyebrows and replied indifferently, "No matter how big the crime is, she will not die." ”
"Why are you so sure?" Wu Fengtian raised his voice, "If you are so sure, why did you bring Mo Mei out of the palace?" ”
"Because, the emperor fell for Mo Mei's love Gu." Wu Yue raised her eyebrows and replied.
She has never missed a trick, what she didn't expect was to kill the fourth princess halfway and solve Emperor Jianning's Gu.
When she heard that Feng had not sent a signal to Wu Yue at night, Wu Yue had already entered the palace once, and wanted to re-put the love Gu on Emperor Jianning's body, but unfortunately, she had not yet made a move to alarm Wu Yang.
In desperation, she could only take Ye Tingfeng out of the palace as planned, save her life, and then find a chance to attack.
On the day when he took Ye Tingfeng out of the palace, Wu Yue lost her left hand.
Wu Fengtian gritted his teeth, thinking of the sadness and despair in his eyes when he heard that Feng and he went to Dashun at night, and talked about Emperor Jianning wanting to kill her.
If it weren't for Wu Yue's love for Emperor Jianning, how could Ye Tingfeng be emotionally attached to Emperor Jianning. Now that Emperor Jianning's love Gu is solved, all the pain and results are all borne by Ye Tingfeng alone.
Wu Yue ignored the anger in Wu Fengtian's eyes and asked, "Where is Mo Mei?" ”
"I don't know." Wu Fengtian's attitude was extremely tough, and he said coldly, "Don't go look for her, you can't find it, and even if you find it, you can't take it away." ”
Wu Yue looked at the younger brother in front of him who had been obedient to him in the past, and suddenly smiled, "Fengtian, did you tell her?" ”
Wu Fengtian's eyes tightened, and he didn't reply.
"From the moment you stepped into Liuyun Valley with the poisoned Momei, I knew you liked her." Wu Yue lowered her head and said in a faint voice, "I asked you at that time, do you know who you want to save, you tell me you know." Actually, you don't know, you don't know anything. Wu Yue stretched out her right hand to hold Wu Fengtian's left hand, and said, "Fengtian, in this world, you can like any woman, but you can't be tempted by her." ”
Wu Fengtian didn't look over, his Adam's apple squirmed up and down, "I, I don't have ...... heart"
"You can deny it, I don't have the authority to stop you from lying." Wu Yue raised her eyebrows, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wu Fengtian, and whispered, "But there are some things that my sister will explain to you." ”
Wu Yue stood up, retracted her left arm into the hem of her sleeve, and walked behind Wu Fengtian and whispered slowly, "You are the Wu family, the second son of the Wu family, you can't forget your responsibility." The value of your existence in the Wu family is to pass on the ancestry. Among your children, there are destined to be people like me and Wu Yang to raise Gu and train Gu...... Thou hast been so willful that thou hast not taken a wife, and why thou knowest better than I do. Mukden, will you let you and her children learn these things? How does the Wu family survive, you know no less than me, do you want her to live the same life as her mother? She's going to hate you......"
Wu Fengtian's face turned pale because of Wu Yue's words, Wu Yue's words were the reason why he had never dared to face his mind.
"Even if," Wu Fengtian took the teacup and drank it lightly, hiding the pain in his eyes, "I can't be with her, and you don't have the right to decide her life." ”
"I decide? You look down on me," Wu Yue raised her eyebrows and put her hand on Wu Fengtian's vein, Wu Yue said lightly, "Fengtian, your willfulness will only make things more complicated. ”
Wu Fengtian was silent.
"Don't worry, treat your injuries first, Wu Yang's palm hurt your lungs......"
Wu Yue raised her hand and knocked on the back of Wu Fengtian's neck, and Wu Fengtian fainted with a muffled snort. “
In the fifth year of Yongning, floods occurred in the south of the Yangtze River.
The heavy rain fell on the third day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Yongning, and it continued to fall for a month and did not stop.
The small stream in the backyard of Yefu rose into a small river, washing over the courtyard wall of Yefu's backyard. The hill next to the backyard was neither high nor low, and there were two landslides in the Land of January. Large quantities of tree stumps and sediment rolled down the mountain with the rainwater, drifted downstream down the river, and finally blocked at the sluice gate downstream of the creek.
Yefu was besieged by the flood and was in danger.
On May 20 of the fifth year of Yongning, Ling Xi ordered Xiao Wuzi to take care of Yefu and wait for the rain to stop repairing. He took a large family and his family to Li Lingyi's fiefdom Dyeing Dam.
There are many women and children in Yefu, but there are not many masters, but there are many slaves. Coupled with the comprehensive guards who escorted them on this trip, there were as many as 200 people in the group.
The distance from Bian Zhou in the south of the Yangtze River to the fiefdom was thousands of miles, and the party traveled on the road for two months.
At this time, it was summer in the snow country, and King Rong took the princess of Allure and Lingxi and his party to travel north for a month, and when they were about to arrive in the capital, they parted ways with them and took their wives and children to the Red Snow Mountain.
Lingxi and several people have special identities, so they did not enter the capital, but only walked slowly around the imperial city to the north.
Obviously they were in trouble and fled, but the group was talking and laughing on the road, like a long-distance parade, very lively.
Li Linghan wanted to learn to ride a horse, so he followed the guards and rode a horse to mess around in front of the team.
Li Qingyan saw that Li Linghan wanted to learn to ride a horse, and she wanted it too, but in the end, she let Lingxi pull it down.
It's okay for boys to learn, but it's better for girls to be quieter.
Li Qingyan was not convinced, and lost her temper several times in the carriage.
Ye Tingfeng looked at his youngest sister and smiled at her, "Ruyi, is it okay for the fifth sister to teach you to speak Dayue dialect?" ”
Li Qingyan nodded again and again, and finally stopped making trouble, and followed Feng's side to learn Dayue's words.
Listening to the two Chinese languages of the Feng Hui Dayue Dashun at night, and the two Chinese languages of the Princess of Qingcheng and the Little County Lord, Dashun and Snow Country, this has long made Li Qingyan envious in her heart.
On the tenth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yongning, along the way slowly, the people who traveled the mountains and rivers came to the territory of Yutang.
Yutang is a small city far away from the capital near the border of the fiefdom Liangba. Moving forward again, he arrived at Li Lingyi's realm.
Li Lingyi, as early as ten days ago, was waiting for the arrival of Lingxi and his party in Tang.
Two months of running around immediately made the eleven-year-old Li Linghan much stronger, and he stood with Li Qingyan as if he was a few years older. At this time, he saw Li Lingyi from a distance, and rode up to meet him.
Li Lingyi ordered his own people to protect the team, and after patting Li Linghan on the shoulder, the horse came to the front of the wide and gorgeous carriage.
Because it was inconvenient to show his face in the wild, Lingxi asked softly to Li Lingyi outside through the hanging bamboo curtain, "Yi'er, how long will it take to go to Yefu?" ”
Lingxi's identity at this time was inconvenient to live in Li Lingyi's palace, so when Li Lingyi received the news of Lingxi's move north, he bought a mansion not far from Yiwang's mansion so that Lingxi and his party could live.
"If the horse gallops, it will take six days. If you walk slowly, your mother will walk as long as she wants. Li Lingyi, who was outside the car, replied with a smile.
Lingxi wanted to walk slowly, and her long-cherished wish was to walk around and have fun. In the past, because Emperor Yongning was looking for her everywhere, she had a lot of inconvenience when she traveled, and it wasn't until two years ago that she had a respite.
But looking at the little baby who was babbling in Ye Tingfeng's arms, she ordered Li Lingyi to go directly to Liangba.
At this time, the baby in Feng's arms was eight months old, and it was the time to make a lot of noise. She was bumpy and tired along the way, and she was quite distressed.
The carriage swayed and the procession moved on.
Sunlight poured in through the cracks in the drooping bamboo curtains, making the light in the carriage bright and dim.
Ye Tingfeng stretched out his slender jade fingers, teased the child who was screaming in his arms, and smiled at Lingxi, "Mother, how long are we going to live in Yi'er's fiefdom?" ”
"Let's see when the rain in Jiangnan stops." Lingxi picked up the small drum on the side of his hand and shook it lightly, and whispered to Ye Tingfeng in the sound of ding dong, "This rain has fallen quite heavily, and according to the records of Bian Zhou's Continent, it is a disaster that has not been encountered in a hundred years. ”
Ye Tingfeng sighed lightly, shook the little hand of the child in his arms, and said, "Fortunately, Yi'er's fiefdom is not in Jiangnan." ”
"When your father allocated these three places to Yi'er, he thought of this." Lingxi lifted the bamboo curtain, glanced at Li Lingyi, who was talking to Li Linghan in front of the team, and said, "Although these three places are not rich places, they have four distinct seasons, with mountains, rivers and plains, and one season of grain can be produced every year, which is enough for self-sufficiency. As long as Yi'er takes care of it, she will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and she will avoid many disputes in the court. ”
"Father, I really feel sorry for my mother and Yi'er......" Ye Tingfeng replied quietly.
Lingxi's eyes darkened, and he didn't reply, and his body shook slightly with the shaking of the carriage.
Back then, in order to allow Emperor Yong'an to give Li Lingyi a fief, she connived at the prince who was raised under her knees to mess around, making Emperor Yong'an think that the prince would do things to kill the emperor's heir when he grew up.
Later, in order to escape from the palace, she pushed the young emperor, who had ascended the throne as the emperor, to the forefront, so that he died young......
When she dreamed back at midnight, she felt guilty about the adopted son who called her a mother.
Li Lingyi suddenly picked the horse's head and came back, wandering outside the carriage and shouted, "Mother, fifth sister, go two miles north here, there is a waterfall, ten zhang high, very spectacular, let's go there and rest a little before going on the road." ”
"It's up to you." Lingxi replied softly, looking up to see Ye Tingfeng.
Ye Tingfeng's beautiful eyes were on the little doll in his arms, and when the similar eyebrows and eyes looked at each other, the little milk baby grinned, biting the thin lips of the flesh and whistling little hands, and spit out a monosyllable, "Mother......"
Listening to Feng's thoughts, she was casually elated, she raised her head and shouted happily to Lingxi, "Mother, he will call Niang, Yu'er will call Niang." ”
"I heard it, I heard it." Lingxi clapped her hands at the little milk baby and teased, "Yu'er, call again, ...... behaved."
Li Lingyi heard the words of the carriage word for word, he pulled the reins of the horse, and laughed loudly into the carriage, "Yu'er, call uncle, call uncle, uncle will take you to ride a horse." ”
