Chapter 11 A Farewell to the Old
Jiang Wangye shook his head slowly, "I'm just a little general, and I can't change anything." I crept out of the city, hoping that I could save her on my own. When I arrived, it was still late. ”
"I guess that's fine. Otherwise, how can I say to her? Can I tell her that I killed her daddy. ”
Jiang Wangye smiled bitterly, "A year later, the Moon people are declining, the Qiang people are dominant, the Qiang people are becoming more and more rampant, repeatedly violating my border, and they are also afraid of the ambition of the wolf, and they don't know how to be satisfied." ”
"The thread that binds the two parties together because of their interests is broken. Zhao Mengliang is a mediocre talent, seeing that the situation is not good, but there is nothing he can do. I designed to catch it, and the people fell apart. He was also killed by my own hands, and I think this is also my compensation. ”
"In the twelfth year of Cheng Xuan, the emperor, who was still the Great Sima at that time, launched a palace change, stood on behalf of Chen, and suggested the Yang Dynasty. Emperor Chen was mediocre and tyrannical, the world was bitter and old-fashioned, and the emperor was obedient to the will of heaven. It was also this year that I was made a marquis, and my mansion was settled in the capital.
At the same time, a singer named Yiliu in the Cuiyan Pavilion in the capital became famous, and countless princes and nobles came to see the beauty. I was so busy with my work that I turned down my friend's invitations many times. ”
"It's my mother..." Ming Chu muttered.
"Zhao Mengliang is a womanizer and often frequents the Cuiyan Restaurant. Soon one morning, he was found lying at the door of the Cuiyan Pavilion, bleeding from his seven orifices and his body stiff. ”
All the details and images are connected. A cloud of suspicion gradually dispersed, and something was about to come out of Ming Chu's mind.
Zhao Mengliang died strangely, and the government began to interrogate the people in the Cuiyan Pavilion. I don't know why my heart was very unstable in those days, I was speculating, pondering, and fantasizing. Maybe my idea was too illusory, because I was sure she died in the fire. After all, I couldn't help but go to the Cuiyan Pavilion in person. ”
"The Cuiyan Pavilion has been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and I entered smoothly on the pretext of assisting in the investigation. There were warblers and swallows everywhere in the Cuiyan Pavilion, and I searched everywhere, but I didn't see the person I wanted to see. I laughed at my whimsy, Zhao Mengliang was a traitorous villain, and there were too many people who had offended, and it was not surprising that he was assassinated.
"Just as I was about to leave through the back door, I saw her hunched over the corner."
Jiang Wangye's expression was painful, and at that moment, he seemed to be frozen in place, and then that thick uncontrollable excitement poured out of his heart, and he almost rushed forward. But she gestured to him and motioned him to keep quiet, "I know she doesn't remember me, after all, she has saved so many people." Jiang Wang Ye smiled bitterly.
Jiang Wang Ye was immersed in memories, recalling the picture when they met again. It's been three years, and she's grown up and more beautiful. There is less of the liveliness and coquettishness of the little princess of the past, more charm and composure, and more of the vicissitudes of the country's ruin. He felt a pain in his chest and didn't dare to look at her again.
She tried to slip through the back door, but was unfortunately discovered by officers and soldiers. Without the slightest fluster, she prepared to take out the knife in the package. At that moment, he instinctively stepped forward and told them that this girl was his, and that hiding here was just to anger him.
"They may not believe her, but for the sake of my face, they no longer doubt her. When all the officers and soldiers had returned outside, she thanked me. I pressed the complicated emotions in my heart and asked Zhao Mengliang if she killed her, and she confessed. The identity of the singer Yiliu made it easy for her to approach Zhao Mengliang. I can't forget the hatred in her eyes. ”
I endured the turmoil in my heart, and calmly asked her if she would like to come to my house to avoid the limelight for a while, and I explained that I also have a deep enmity with Zhao Mengliang, and he died to relieve my hatred. She believed what I said. ”
Jiang Wangye smiled knowingly, "She is still very simple, and she doesn't have the slightest sense of defense." It seems that she is still the carefree little princess on the grassland. ”
"So Yiliu is Danruo, right? I saw her body, and although I couldn't see it clearly, it was exactly the same size. "I'm confused.
"I guess I should ask her about that. She had been by Danruo's side. Jiang Wang Ye looked at Mama.
"Mama, you?"
Mama smiled bitterly at Ming Chu.
"My family is in a small town outside the capital, and one evening I found a girl fainting in front of my house. She was so tired that she slept for two days and two nights. She woke up and said she had nowhere to go. I had no children, so I kept her. She was grateful for my life-saving grace and did not deliberately hide her background. When the enemy approached the camp, her maid tried to escort her away, and her maidservant sacrificed herself in order to give the illusion that she was dead. A fire makes it impossible to tell who is who. In this way, she escaped without danger. ”
"I see."
"She survived to take revenge, and after many inquiries, she found the murderer, Zhao Mengliang."
"The Smoke Pavilion is the favorite place for those dignitaries. I suggested she could blend in there. ”
"I thought Danruo was dead a long time ago, alas! I didn't expect that, since she was alive, why didn't she go to me! "I beat my chest.
"She is bent on revenge, where would she think so much."
Jiang Wangye bowed his head: "Later, the revenge was avenged, and you didn't expect her to follow me into the mansion." ”
Inside the Yingxue Museum
Mingrou slapped the table and stood up, her expression shocked, "So the mother of the early Ming Dynasty is the little princess of the Yue family?" ”
The princess shook her head: "When she first entered the mansion, I didn't know her true identity. Just when she's an ordinary singer. The prince really likes her, and the way he looks at her can't deceive people. I can feel it. ”
Her eyes darkened. "I was sad in my heart, I didn't expect her to take the initiative to visit me. Her eyes were so clear, and when she looked at me and smiled, I could really feel her sincerity and enthusiasm. ”
Princess Jiang smiled, "She is extremely beautiful, and that kind of beauty is gentle and natural." But her openness and unintentional vicissitudes made me believe that she couldn't be just a simple singer. ”
"Mother, what happened later?"
"The prince has always been very good to her, and later gave birth to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know what happened, she suddenly became cold to the prince. ”
Jiang Wang Ye opened the scroll, his eyes were full of warmth. Danruo went back to the palace with him, and he always ran to see her after he was in a hurry to deal with things, how could he control his heart?
But at the same time, he was uneasy, and the wide-sleeved acacia dress was still in his hand, which represented her happy and carefree life.
While he was lucky that she didn't know what he was doing, he was often uneasy, especially when she was sincere.
"She always wanted to go back, but I was reluctant to drag her to stay for various reasons. So I stayed, and she bore me a child, and I knew she didn't love me, but just pity me. Her heart has always remained in the grassland. Jiang Wang Ye smiled bitterly.
