Chapter 347: Let's Something New
It's just such a simple sentence from Xuanyuan Yichen, that is, to end so many lives in an instant.
It was still like a flower-like age, but because of the inopportune time, it was destined to be lost.
The tears like the flooding of the sea, the wailing of the waves, just because of Xuanyuan Yichen's words, easily triggered an earth-shattering tsunami in this large courtyard!
The tears and wails of those women almost overturned the courtyard, and the rest of the people standing inside and outside the courtyard.
They didn't expect that this noble man, who was a prince, would be so cruel and hard-hearted.
No, in fact, they already knew it, but there was still a little bit of luck in their hearts, just expecting that this prince didn't want to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as rumored, but they didn't expect that today they would have to pay the price for their simplicity!
However, Xuanyuan Yichen is a prince after all, and he seems to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, and it has risen to the level of being accustomed to it and unmoved.
Just imagine that this is indeed the case, because of the poison in his body when he was a child, so far, because the doctors, palace maids and eunuchs who died are almost counted in hundreds or thousands. The situation in front of him can really be described as pediatric.
However, the slightest movement of Liu Qingyan beside him immediately made his eyes feel a little more concerned.
Liu Qingyan frowned slightly, there was some unbearability on her face, she gently stroked her slightly bulging abdomen, but she was silent.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yichen hurriedly took Liu Qingyan half in his arms, carefully guarded her, held Liu Qingyan's hand with one hand, and reached over with the other, and then gently stroked her belly, in this way to comfort her and their children at the same time.
The crying sound in the courtyard can be described as sharp, those women with charming and moving faces, where is there such a usual elegant and noble atmosphere at this moment, the delicate appearance of ten fingers not touching the spring water, all of them are crying with embarrassed faces, their hair is scattered, and they look like beggars, which really can't be seen directly.
Xuanyuan Yichen saw that Liu Qingyan looked a little unbearable, and his heart moved, so he casually beckoned his other hand, and when the housekeeper saw this, he quickly said: "Stop!" ”
The butler's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly who was obviously wailing.
The first to stop were the little maids and maids who were ordered to arrest people, and then the concubines and beauties also stopped. One by one, their faces were all sweat mixed with tears, and they all looked at the housekeeper here. When they figured out that this matter actually had nothing to do with the housekeeper, they turned to look at Xuanyuan Yichen and inevitably saw Liu Qingyan in his arms.
Liu Qingyan's expression was faint, and she didn't seem to see anything in her eyes, but she gently stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen. Between the eyebrows, there is still a slight soft brilliance.
But the prince didn't even look at them, just lowered his head and looked nervously at Liu Qingyan in his arms, his lips moved slightly, as if he was nervously saying something, but Liu Qingyan shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.
If it were usual, when they saw the picture of Liu Qingyan being so favored by the prince, they might be envious, jealous or even hateful.
But at this moment, they have just come from the edge of the cliff of death, and they are about to be pushed down, but they stopped in time to save their lives.
Those beauties with pear blossoms and rain looked at the prince through tears and sweat, guessing whether the prince was going to let them go, whether he was just scaring them, and now that the scare is over, it is enough, and they won't want their lives anymore?
Those beauties were already desperate in their hearts, and their emotions were complicated and changeable, but they could only look at the prince in front of them, and that sentence was the one who could decide their own life and death - they begged Xuanyuan Yichen to let them go.
And Xuanyuan Yichen only had Liu Qingyan in his eyes, and he didn't have the patience to look at them anymore and listen to their wailing, so he said coldly: "The Xianwangfu Temple is small, and it can't accommodate so many of your big Buddhas." Give you a day, pack your things, and send them to the border barracks for this king early tomorrow morning, and let it be your final destination! ”
Xuanyuan Yichen's words fell, but this time there were so many people in the courtyard who didn't move at all.
After a few seconds of death-like silence, someone finally reacted, but they twisted their heads to look left, to the right, to the front, and then to the back, and everyone didn't seem to react, what did Xuanyuan Yichen's words mean.
Is Xuanyuan Yichen going to drive them all out? But where to go? Barracks? And a barracks on the border? Why is it there, because the prince has just returned from there?
The women kneeling on the ground all looked at each other, not knowing why.
In Xuanyuan Yichen's arms, Liu Qingyan could hear it clearly, just because Xuanyuan Yichen's idea must be closely related to her.
Women are strictly forbidden to enter and leave the barracks, and the only women who are allowed to enter and leave are military prostitutes, that is, prostitutes who provide services to the soldiers in the barracks.
The reason why Xuanyuan Yichen came up with this idea was that he was afraid that he still hated that day, when Gonggong Li and Sun Bao appeared in the barracks because they were women, they had to threaten him with punishment before he agreed to keep these twenty beauties.
And one report after another, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, but the protagonist doesn't seem to be these twenty beauties, let alone those concubines......
Among so many women, there are finally a few women with a little brain, and finally a concubine suddenly understood, her face was as pale as paper, and she shouted in disbelief: "Lord Wang, are you going to send all the concubines to the barracks to serve as military prostitutes?" Lord, you can't do this! ”
This shout was like a slap in the face, and most of the women understood it at once, and their faces, which had just recovered a little blood, instantly turned pale again.
There are also women who are too innocent and don't even know what a military prostitute is, but they just hear the wails of the people around them and see everyone's looks, and they also know that this is definitely not a good thing.
In some things, women seem to have a natural keen sense of premonition, even if they don't understand it at first, they can basically figure it out.
So, in the blink of an eye, everyone began to cry again, and the scene and movement were no less than what they had just said about throwing them into the bamboo forest.
Because, throwing them into the bamboo forest is to cost their own lives, and sending them to the barracks is worse than death!
They were also nobler than some civilian women, so how could they bear this insult? Originally, they only thought that there might be glory and wealth to think about giving it to the prince, but at this moment, the man in front of them was as terrifying as a ghost!
No, he's a ghost!
Since ancient times, women have probably valued their chastity more than their lives.
As a modern person, Liu Qingyan may not be as important to this as the ancients, but she has also heard how ancient women would rather die than give in in order to protect their reputation.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Liu Qingyan watched a concubine suddenly stand up, stumble and stagger to the side, and not far from her, there was a big tree.
"Stop her!" Liu Qingyan almost subconsciously shouted, she should have pounced on herself to save the woman while shouting, but Xuanyuan Yichen seemed to sense what she meant, and originally just hugged her hand and used her strength, which delayed her for a little time.
But fortunately, Xiao Yue, who was standing behind her, was not slow to react and move, and when Liu Qingyan's words fell, she flew over and hugged the woman before she really planned to hit the big tree with her head.
But after holding her, he didn't dare to let go easily, for fear that she would not be able to think of it and hit it again.
However, after this failed attempt, the momentum of bent death just now seemed to be gone, and it also took away the spirit and strength of her body, and the whole person fell on Xiao Yue's body like soft mud.
In this way, it will be even more difficult for Xiao Yue to let go, but she is afraid that as soon as she lets go, she will fall directly to the ground.
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but look sideways again and again, but Xuanyuan Yichen seemed to have hardened his heart, not only was he still unmoved, but there was more disgust in his eyes in addition to anger, and he said coldly:
"One crying, two troubles, three hangings, in addition to these tricks, will you play something new?"
In the palace, in addition to an emperor, there are more women than eunuchs and guards, these tricks, he really has seen from childhood to adulthood, there is no change at all, just such a trick that has long been tired of watching, how can it be possible to impress him.
Looking at Xuanyuan Yichen like this, Liu Qingyan felt that he was cold-blooded and cruel, but he also sympathized with him. What kind of life experience should have made him what he is today.
Looking at Xuanyuan Yichen's appearance, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Although his childhood experience is not much better, compared to him, it seems that it is invisibly much better.
And these women kneeling on the ground, some cried, some made trouble, and some wanted to die to prove their innocence, but when Xuanyuan Yichen said such a sentence, they seemed to be able to only dispel the rest of their thoughts.
However, after all, they are just weak women who are powerless, and have no extraordinary courage and wisdom, and in the face of this situation, what can they do but cry and plead?
It's just that in this way, even when they cry, they don't dare to cry too loudly.
The scene seems to have been temporarily controlled, and the rest is to let so many women pack their own luggage under the supervision of the housekeeper and the maid, and just wait for the early tomorrow morning, and send them off directly to the border barracks.
There is a border, and the richest estimate should be the wind and sand and the wasteland, as for the rest, whether it is people or materials, everything is lacking. In the barracks, there was not a single woman, not even a military prostitute.
The number of people around them is not too many, but it cannot be said that it is too small, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much financial and material resources to protect them.
What's more, this place has always been part of the Great Good Country, and it is impossible to ignore it.
