Chapter 5: Betrayal
Wen Luo, the sixth lady of the Wen family, likes her brother's friend, Guo Yan, the eldest son of the Guo family.
On the one hand, she felt that she was a concubine and had no chance to marry Guo Yan as his wife, and on the other hand, she felt that the people of the Guo family were working as errands under her grandfather, and the lintel of the Guo family was not as high as the Wen family.
At that time, the glory of the Wen family had reached the extreme, General Wen's only daughter was the queen of the Dayin Dynasty, a son and a daughter, and the son was the crown prince.
And her daughter, inheriting her beauty and talent, is both talented and beautiful, smart, kind-hearted and empathetic, so that she can not lose to her brother, and even when she is with her brother in private, she can also put forward some effective suggestions in court politics.
The light of the brother and sister set off the dimness of the other princes and princesses, and also attracted countless hatreds for themselves.
At the same time, the Western Liang Kingdom used troops against the Great Yin Dynasty, and General Wen led the army to repel the soldiers and horses of the Western Liang several times, and the Wen family inherited his father's talent for leading the army on the battlefield, leaving a great reputation on the battlefield of the two countries.
The second son of the Wen family embarked on a career and became the youngest secretary of the criminal department of the Dayin Dynasty, and during his tenure, he solved many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the people also respected him very much.
The children of the Wen family are all talented, and they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Yin Dynasty, even the crown prince is the blood of the Wen family, the Wen family is prosperous to the extreme, not only the emperor can not sleep in peace, but even the ministers of the court and the central government want to pull them down There are not a few.
It was at this time that Guo Yan knew Wen Luo's heart for him, and he did not resist this heart, but showed that he was very attentive to Wen Luo.
Even Wen Jiayan, the eldest son of the Wen family, thought that the two of them were in love, one was his friend and the other was his sister.
No one has ever doubted Guo Yan.
No one thought that the Guo family, who had always relied on him as General Wen's right-hand man, would betray him, until the Imperial Procuratorate presented a secret letter between General Wen and Emperor Xiliang, and found the dragon robe from the Wen family's secret room.
And the person who led the troops to break into the Wen family to search was the Guo family father and son.
The Wen family was accused of plotting against the enemy and collaborating with the enemy, but Guo Feng, the general of Dingyuan who exposed the crimes of the Wen family, got a reputation of loyalty, patriotism, justice and selflessness.
The Wen family was convicted for more than half a month, the queen was seriously ill, and the crown prince was also reprimanded by the emperor for interceding for the Wen family, and was punished in the East Palace for reflection.
On the day of the queen's death, the prince set himself on fire in the East Palace.
How ridiculous!
The dignified prince set himself on fire in the East Palace, and those who said it really dared to say it, and those who believed it also dared to believe it.
Changshu still remembers the fire that day when the East Palace burned red all night, and the always noble man's gorgeous clothes were stained with blood, and he firmly protected her behind him in countless swords and swords, and fought a bloody path for her.
He put all the power in his hands into her hands, and in the dark night, the phantom longed, the blade was unsheathed, and countless shadow guard attendants knelt in front of her, just to beg her to leave the capital.
If the crown prince is destined to die, at least she can live.
It was his last word to her.
The eyes were slightly astringent, Changshu still smiled lightly, and her eyebrows were gentle: "The people of the Wen family did not die on the battlefield, but they died in the hands of their own people, do you know what I saw when I collected their bodies on the battlefield that day?" ”
Cold sweat faintly appeared on Guo Yan's forehead, but he was never able to break free from the shackles of the iron chains.
"There are all kinds of scars on their bodies, many of them don't even have a whole corpse, so miserable, they are not descendants of the Wen family."
Changshu took the thin knife and looked at it in front of him, and under Guo Yan's angry and anxious gaze, he neatly cut several cuts on his wrists and ankles.
Guo Yan snorted, pursed his lips tightly, and dripping with cold sweat.
"Do you know how the Guo family didn't have one?"
Changshu squatted in front of him with her chin propped up, admiring the scene of blood flowing out of the wound with great interest, and asked herself: "I drugged the water they drank, and disguised myself as a revenge seeker to destroy the Guo family, this thing is not difficult to do, of course, such a clumsy method can't hide from the government, but they will definitely not be able to find my head." ”
Guo Yan glared at her.
Changshu didn't care, calmly continued to add some small wounds to his body, the wounds were not deep, and the pain was not completely unbearable, Guo Yan's eyes fell on the blade in her hand, wondering if it was possible to send the vital point directly.
Changshu put away the knife at this time, took the small bottle on the side and looked at it: "Do you think that I will give you a knife and poison and let you choose between the two?" It's like giving death to a concubine in the palace, white silk poisoned wine and daggers? ”
Guo Yan's face changed.
He has no hope of continuing to live, but this does not mean that he can accept being tortured to death: "If you have the ability, kill me." ”
Changshu asked him, "Why did you betray the Wen family?" ”
Guo Yan smiled coldly: "The Wen family has offended too many people, even the emperor they are loyal to can't tolerate them, everyone will be punished, why can't I betray?" ”
"It was I who instigated my father to turn his back on the Wen family, and it was also me who put the dragon robe into the Wen family, Wen Jiayan was defenseless against me, and it was naturally easy for me to do such a thing."
The smile on Changshu's face gradually disappeared, and she slowly stood up and held the bottle above his head, only to hear a click, and the palm-sized bottle was easily crushed by her.
A sweet and greasy fragrance spread through the cave, and the bottle contained ...... It's honey.
Guo Yan's face changed drastically, and a trace of fear clearly appeared in his eyes, he knew too well what these honeys would bring him.
Changshu looked at his fear coldly, and left without hesitation with the basket.
"You're kind of killing me."
Changshu didn't reply.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I beg you."
"Doesn't Your Highness want to know Wen Jiayan's whereabouts?"
Changshu paused, slowly turned to look at him, and said word by word: "Wen Jiayan is dead, the head of the owl is shown to the public, the people in the capital have seen it with their own eyes, and everyone knows it." ”
"He's not dead."
"Where is he?"
Guo Yan did not speak.
He could already see some small insects coming towards him, but he still refused to get too close, and he clearly knew that all this was all because of the highness in front of him.
Once she was gone, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.
Facing Changshu's increasingly impatient face, Guo Yan really didn't dare to challenge her patience: "The third prince sent him to Xiliang Kingdom. ”
Changshu blew over like the wind, pinching his neck and forcing him to look up: "Xiliang? ”
