Chapter 295: Life and Return
Chapter 295: Life and Return
The summer sun is like the snow in winter, dazzling.
After spending a dark night and seeing the light of the next day, Du Yiyi knew that he was still alive.
When she woke up, she was in a strange room, her hands and feet were tied, and there were bursts of pain in the back of her head.
Someone took her out of the prison, knocked her unconscious, and brought her here.
What does the emperor want to do? In the prison, you can completely let yourself die unconsciously, why do you want to bring yourself here with you?
She seemed to hear the cry of the wild geese, the place where the geese were infested, it should be outside the city, and she was sure that she was in the palace outside the city.
The door was closed, and there was silence as she waited for the man who opened it.
The person who came was not the majestic king, nor was it the conscientious slave beside the king, seeing Yan Liu, who was already just a grass man in front of him, Du Yiyi couldn't help muttering in his heart, what is the emperor going to do?
"I've seen Princess Rui!" Yan Liu bowed slightly and saluted politely, and got up and sat down like a lord when Du Yiyi spoke.
"Lord Yan, what does this mean?" Yan Liu is definitely not the mastermind, what the person behind him means Du Yiyi really can't figure out.
Yan Liu beckoned, and several brocade guards walked in, and one of them stepped forward to uncover the ropes on Du Yiyi's hands and feet.
"Princess Rui is frightened, please drink tea to suppress the shock!"
As soon as Yan Liu raised his eyebrows, Jin Yiwei came to the table with a tea set.
Such a vastly different position treatment really frightened Du Yiyi, she took advantage of the Jinyi guard to look outside the house when she went out, and once again confirmed her position.
"If Lord Yan has something to say, just say it! Why did you bring me here? ”
"Princess Rui, please calm her anger, if it weren't for King Rui's deathbed instructions, Princess Rui would not be here!" Yan Liu said unhurriedly.
A deathbed will? Du Yiyi was even more surprised, it was only a day's work, Ning Zhiyuan was still fine when she left Rui Wangfu, how could she ............
"Lord Yan, don't be joking!"
"Princess Rui is a smart person, can the old minister joke in front of Princess Rui? What is the emperor's attitude towards Princess Rui, Princess Rui knows it, and the old minister will tell you clearly! Yesterday, Princess Rui was imprisoned in the prison, King Rui knelt outside Ningyuan Palace for a night in order to ask the emperor to open the Internet, he became ill in the middle of the night, his condition changed abruptly, and Mr. Chang couldn't do anything, in fact, the emperor wanted to ......" Yan Liu glanced at Du Yiyi and skipped this sentence: "If it weren't for the change, the emperor wouldn't let people send Princess Rui here, the old minister came on the emperor's order, brought this paper sticker and three hundred taels of silver tickets, there was a carriage waiting outside, and the carriage would send Princess Rui to leave the capital and go to Liuzhou, Princess Rui can find the residence arranged by the emperor for you according to the household sticker, and live incognito! ”
Yan Liu took out the silver ticket and household sticker in his arms and put them on the table.
"It's ............ What does that mean? Du Yiyi was so shocked that even her tongue was numb, how could Ning Zhiyuan die! But the reality makes her unquestionable, with the emperor's disgust for her, it is absolutely impossible to give herself a chance to live incognito again after she is put in prison, she grabbed the household sticker on the table, and the household sticker clearly wrote a false identity that was about to belong to her.
Du Yuesheng, a villager in Shili, Qingcheng County, Liuzhou.
How can it be! Du Yiyi's tears burst into tears, it was only a day's work, how could he leave him? This feeling had come to her mind before, the red shadow of jumping off the castle tower came to mind, and the pain that followed was intense.
It turned out that she had never noticed that Ning Zhiyuan had unknowingly left a mark in her mind.
"I want to see him one last time!"
Yan Liu didn't look at Du Yiyi's painful expression, he shook his head with a blank face: "The emperor means to let you leave Beijing immediately." ”
"I've only seen it once!"
The severe pain made Du Yiyi bend down.
"The emperor's meaning, I can't disobey, you better go on the road!"
When it comes to life and death, you really can't even see the last side? Leaning on the stool and sitting down and hunched over, she cried loudly, she thought that she would die by herself, who would have expected that he would exchange his life for his new life, I thought that I would be able to eliminate all grievances and grievances as soon as I died, and no longer owed anyone a debt, but now she owes a person who will never lack the friendship to repay, and I never realized that I lived together in the past, and today I parted all kinds of things came to my heart, but I found that I had already accepted his existence and his feelings, and she finally walked out of the shadow of Shen Ke, Why be trapped in this shadow for the rest of your life?
"Lord Yan!" She got up with tears in her eyes and bowed deeply to Yan Liu. "Please also ask Lord Yan to be able to fulfill it."
After all, the person in front of him is also the person who his son fights to protect regardless of life and death, he does have a grudge against her, but he also has a lot of embarrassment and pity for Du Yiyi's life experience and bumpy life, he brought the emperor's words, to cross this hurdle for the emperor, but also for his son to cross this hurdle.
"The deceased has passed away, you mourn, the emperor is likely to change his mind at any time, if you don't leave now, maybe you will never be able to leave! Do you really want to go? ”
"Even if I die, I have to go, if it weren't for him, maybe I would have died!" Du Yiyi lowered her head and wiped away her tears, firm and resolute.
"For the sake of you, after all, you can be regarded as having some kindness to Xinglu, I will risk death to help you, King Rui's coffin is still in the palace, you can't see it, if you want to enter the palace, it will be a death, which one do you choose!"
Du Yiyi bowed down and said firmly: "Please also ask Lord Yan to take me into the palace!" ”
"Life and death are fate, if the emperor changes his mind at that time, don't blame me, let's go!" Yan Liu drank all the tea in the teacup in front of him in one gulp, stood up with his hands on his thighs, Du Yiyi thanked him, and walked out of the house with him.
It was noon, the dazzling scorching sun scorched the earth, Du Yiyi squinted his sour eyes a little uncomfortably, and got into the carriage with Yan Liu, the carriage galloped on the path on the outskirts of the city, and came to the city gate and entered the city, the pedestrians on the road were sparse and hurried, and the quiet street was without the hustle and bustle of the past, and the sound of cicadas rose and fell, and the excitement was even quieter.
Yan Liu didn't speak all the way, Du Yiyi walked all the way and looked at the scenery on the road, occasionally passers-by who walked by the carriage, the road side was full of green branches and weeping willows, the towering city wall poked out of the eaves of the streets and alleys, and the delicate flowers and grass growing in the silt cracks on the side of the road, these scenery can no longer be seen by some people, and she may not be able to see it in the future.
The palace stands in the north of this city, a palace wall blocks two completely different worlds, Du Yiyi used to be most afraid of walking into the palace, but now she has no fear in her heart.
What emerged in her heart was the bits and pieces of her life in the past year, from coming to this world, to the unsatisfactory changes, until last night, she had been mourning for her fate, she could remember the first time she saw Ning Zhiyuan, at that time she felt that he was very beautiful, beautiful like a woman, frivolous like a gentleman, at that time she didn't expect fate to play a second joke on her, she became Princess Rui, he is King Rui, bumping and bumping life, she lives in her own small world, just to be able to live a peaceful life in that cage, he is his ambitious prince, and he has disrupted her peaceful life again and again.
A year of husband and wife, the intimate picture that can be thought of is only the night before, the first time the two hugged each other and fell asleep in the same bed, the only time it came so late.
"Do you know what will happen to Shen Ke?" Yan Liu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and pulled Du Yiyi, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage and was reminiscing, back from his memory.
"Lord Yan is a believer of the Son of Heaven, and his thoughts are naturally different from mine, I believe in his innocence and believe that he can survive!"
Yan Liu didn't think about the sarcasm in Du Yiyi's words, he said solemnly: "The emperor has decreed, if Shen Ke wants to live, there is only one way to go, the emperor can't tolerate such a thing, the emperor is wary of you, it is also because of Shen Ke, Mingzhe should understand that after seeing the emperor, I hope you can be smarter!" ”
Yan Liu's kind reminder made Du Yiyi a little moved, but she never doubted Shen Ke. "The people's aspirations can gain a foothold in this land, the world will be divided for a long time, and the change of dynasties is the most normal thing, if Shen Ke really rebels, if the emperor really thinks that he is absolutely righteous and correct, why is he afraid of Shen Ke's rebellion?"
"The emperor also has the emperor's difficulties, and now you can't protect yourself, so you should think more about yourself." Yan Liu didn't argue, what he saw in the past few months shook his original belief, but there is only one emperor in the world, and there is only one person who has the grace of knowing him so that he can show his ambitions, even if he is wrong, the emperor is merit outweighs fault, there are always some people who have to be sacrificed, Shen Ke is one of them.
"Hoo ............" the coachman who rode his horse and whipped his horse tightened the reins of his horse, and the frightened horse kicked up, shaking the carriage behind him.
"What's going on?" Yan Liu lifted the curtain and poked his head out.
"Back to my lord, there is a sedan chair in front of you! I'll go down and let the sedan chair move! The coachman respectfully pointed ahead, and there was a royal blue sedan chair in the middle of the road.
"Don't stop the car in the middle of the road, let them stop to the side of the road quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The coachman nodded and got out of the carriage, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the sedan chair.
Before the coachman walked to the sedan chair, a person came out of the sedan chair without movement, and Yan Liu, who was about to close the curtain, looked at the owner of the sedan chair and was stunned, and immediately got out of the carriage.
"I've seen King Chao!"
"Lord Yan, where are you going?" Ning Chaoge was dressed in a gray plain satin dress, a white gauze coat, and a fragrant folding fan in his hand, with a jade-like face and graceful demeanor.
Yan Liu no longer has an official title, although most people still maintain an honorable title for him, but he still has to take into account etiquette when he sees Wang Sun Guixuan, he deliberately lowered his waist a little and said: "The old man plans to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
"That's unfortunate, my father is now discussing the arrest of Shen Ke with my father-in-law and my father-in-law, and he must have no time to announce to Lord Yan, Lord Yan's carriage...... It's from outside the city! Is there a noble son in the car? Why don't you let him come down and see him! Ning Chaoge smiled and glanced at the carriage, the thick yellow mud on the wheels of the carriage was rare in the city.
Yan Liu hurriedly praised: "King Chao's eyesight is really powerful, the old man is from outside the city, some important things are to tell the emperor, if King Chao is fine, the old man wants to take the first step!" ”
"Today, this king came to look for Lord Yan, it is indeed a big matter to discuss, since my father is not available now, I don't know if this king has the face to ask Lord Yan to come over the house?" Ning Chaoge smiled, not taking Yan Liu's anxiety in his eyes at all, but kept his eyes on the carriage.
Yan Liu took the emperor's instructions and didn't want to make trouble or delay, obviously he showed his urgency, King Chao still had such words, and it was a little tricky for him to shirk it. "I wonder what happened to King Chao? Maybe the old man told the emperor first and then went to the house? ”
"Lord Yan, this king's matter can't be delayed for a moment!" Ning Chaoge accentuated his tone.
"Then please tell Chao Wangming!" Yan Liu didn't want to go to Chao Wang's Mansion to make a mistake, the most important thing for him now was to go to the palace to restore his life.
