Chapter 213: Homecoming
Chapter 213: Homecoming
This sedan chair came from the Shen Mansion in a hurry and landed directly in front of the stone unicorn outside the Shen Mansion.
She was not in King Rui's mansion, and when she saw Mrs. Yan, who had already cried into tears, she knew why Yan Xinglu came to find King Rui.
Some things will only get darker and darker, not to mention that Ning Zhiyuan has the intention to embarrass the Yan family, Yan Xinglu will only be embarrassed and humiliated when he comes to Ning Zhiyuan.
If it was before, she might only scold a nerd, but now she knows this nerd's heart very well, he inherited all the virtues and wisdom of his parents, stubborn and filial, grew up reading the books of the sages and sages, everything was arranged by his parents, he raised in his bones a pedantic atmosphere that she had mocked countless times, but at some point, such pedantry represents the integrity of the sages under the imitation of the sages.
If this matter is not resolved, the Yan family will never be at peace.
She can be unkind to others, but she can't be kind to Yan Xinglu, who owes her a lot, she chose this time and returned to King Rui's Mansion.
"Princess, the princess is talking, please stay with the princess!" Qin Huai stretched out his arms and stopped her in a hurry!
"Bold Qin Huai, the princess is as kind to you as a mountain, you dare to stop the princess!" Mother Xu stepped forward, and the four rough mothers-in-law behind her hugged her.
"The prince has an order, please ask the princess to rest in the lobby!" Qin Huai was unmoved, his face did not change color, and his arms were like iron casting.
"I can't even get into my house? Get out of the way! "She won't make a move with Qin Huai, she is not Qin Huai's opponent.
"The prince has an order, the princess can't go in!"
She no longer wasted time with Qin Huai, who was only loyal to Ning Zhiyuan, she knew the pattern of Huai Yuju very well, when Mother Xu tried her best to obstruct Qin Huai, she walked outside the wall closest to the study: "Ning Zhiyuan, you listen to me, if you don't let me in today, I will never go in again in my life!" ”
In the room, Yan Xinglu, who was speechless, finally knew who it was, thinking that she came in a hurry for himself so disregarding his image, his frozen chest warmed up a little bit.
"She is kind-hearted, and she has always felt guilty about this matter, thinking that she was dragging you and the Yan family down." Seeing Yan Xinglu's brows stretched, Ning Zhiyuan stretched his waist and limbs, which had been motionless for a long time, and turned his head to look at the spring outside the wide-open window. "Chunfu will try the case certainly, your father will be able to say goodbye to old age as he wishes, and when the time comes, I will recommend you to succeed your father, you continue to help me, I will no longer embarrass your father, but you can't see her, and you can't pass letters to her under my nose, these conditions, you may accept?"
Yan Xinglu's lips opened, and the voice outside sounded again.
"The princess can't!"
It was Qin Huai's panicked voice.
Ning Zhiyuan got up in a panic, and Yan Xinglu also clenched his fists tightly.
"Qin Huai, just let her in! The prince and the princess always have to have a good talk! Qinglan, who heard the news of Du Yiyi's return home, rushed over with Chang's mother, and cooperated with Xu's mother to pull Du Yiyi, who wanted to take a detour to the study window and enter through the window.
"Qinglan, the prince has an order!" Qin Huai's embarrassed way.
Qinglan shouted righteously: "Doesn't the prince want to watch the princess return to the house?" If the princess is angry and runs away again, it will be beyond remorse! ”
During this period of time, Ning Zhiyuan's soul is the most clear, and secretly thinking about what Qinglan said is not true, with the princess's temper, if she leaves this time, she will definitely not come back, and it will not be the prince who will regret it when the time comes?
"Let her in!"
Everyone turned around, and Ning Zhiyuan stood at the door of the house.
Mother Xu let go of her hand in her heart, and Du Yiyi bypassed Qin Huai and walked into the house.
"Don't go in for the others!" Qinglan made a look, Chang's mother blocked the door of the house, and Xu's mother, who was about to enter, stiffened her face and retreated.
Since Aicheng, the three of them have not gotten together on any occasion, and the three of them are talking in a sober situation, it is the first time, Yan Xinglu's face turned pale, she can guess what Ning Zhiyuan said to him during the period when she didn't arrive, Yan Xinglu, who was very well protected by his parents, thought that this was this matter, which made him grow a lot, those deep eyes were still deep, if there was no light of Shen Ke, Yan Xinglu might be able to become the second person after Lu Yi'an, she knew very little about his past, It's because she knows that understanding will only trap herself.
"I knew you were coming back!" Ning Zhiyuan sat beside Du Yiyi with a smile, so gentle that he was as aggressive as before.
"How can I let go of the Yan family?" She lowered her head, and every time she saw these eyes, she felt guilty, only to see the reflection of her own insignificance.
"How about having me a baby?" Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Yan Xinglu looked away in embarrassment and frustration, but his ears were seriously waiting for her answer.
She just rolled her eyes murderously.
Ning Zhiyuan said blindly: "It's good to be back, how can a husband and wife run away from home as soon as they quarrel, Brother Yan, you go back first!" I'll visit you another day when I'm free! ”
Yan Xinglu smiled stupidly, arched his hand and left.
She didn't say anything to stop her, because she knew that trouble was around her.
"When Yan Ge Lao took office as the secretary of Dali Temple, he was not afraid of the powerful and upright, and it was just a matter of weekdays, what is the difference between letting him do tricks and feet in the case and asking for his life!"
"Whether it's me or him, there has to be a little sacrifice, who let his son do the wrong thing?"
"How will you be satisfied?" Ning Zhiyuan's cold-blooded ruthlessness, this is not the first time she has seen it, how can an upright person like Yan Xinglu be the opponent of such a person, if she doesn't care about it, the Yan family may suffer from annihilation.
"Give me a baby and put me on the throne!" Hooking his lips and smiling wildly, these two things are indispensable in his opinion. 、,
Du Yiyi frowned coldly, her fingernails had sunk tightly into the flesh, she had been trying to take the initiative between herself and Ning Zhiyuan, but in the end, the initiative was still tightly held in his hands, her struggles and her efforts not had any effect, but brought herself into a desolate situation, could she really not get rid of his control?
"When you come back this time, don't leave! Rui Wangfu, it is better to have more than one hostess! Ning Zhiyuan's eyes fell on the hand that was clutching the green tendons of the thighs in the skirt, her pain and struggle made him tired, fish and bear paws, can you really not have both?
"Have a child, and then poison others like Shen Ke?"
In that evening, she heard the most unacceptable truth she had ever heard in her life, the image of Shen Ke in her heart had collapsed at that moment, he was the hero of everyone in Dahe, but he was no longer her hero, Ning Zhiyuan, who teamed up with Shen Ke to act in this play, could not be her hero.
But one is Du Yiyi's brother, and the other is her husband, and the aura of these two people can't break free from it.
"How could you think that! I will protect him well and let him grow up safely and happily! I haven't been able to experience the past, I will let him go through it for him, he will be kind, he will be upright, not as cold-blooded as me, I don't want him to fight for power, I don't want him to achieve something, not like me, he will meet the person he likes when he grows up, and spend his life hand in hand with her, instead of being like me, the person I like is close in front of me, but I stupidly pushed her farther and farther, and I actually thought that I could hold those hands across thousands of mountains and rivers. ”
Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "If I had an old father like Yan Xinglu, I would be as kind and upright as him, I would not struggle in hatred and love, embrace hatred and stay away from love, and if you have love, you can't forget hatred, then you may be able to fall in love with me and live a happy life with me." ”
Du Yiyi listened quietly, and the hands clenched on her thighs slowly let go.
"If I hadn't come to this world, I would have lived well, although I was poor, busy and ordinary, if Du Yiyi hadn't met Shen Ke, maybe she would have died happier, love is the most painful."
Ning Zhiyuan's pupils opened slightly, and he looked at Du Yiyi in front of him unfamiliarly, she was obviously alive, why did she say that she was dead?
Facing such a gaze, Du Yiyi suddenly found a calm feeling in Zhuang Tian, she took a breath, and said a sentence that she had hidden for a long time: "I don't belong to this world!" ”
She doesn't belong to this world, she doesn't know when she's going to disappear, she sticks to what she knows and does what she thinks is right.
Ning Zhiyuan was stunned, I don't know if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence or didn't relive it from the shock.
"I'm from the world of Dahe's 1,000 years later, and that night, Du Yiyi jumped off the city tower, and I came here! I am Du Yiyi, not Du Yiyi, I lay on the bed for two months, and slowly got to know Dahe on the bed, I knew that I was in an embarrassing situation, and it was imminent to marry me out as soon as possible, so Shen Ke invited me to the noble son of the capital, I didn't want fate to be held hostage, I found Shen Ke that night, and happened to see you, I didn't know your identity at that time, and then I saw you again, it was at the blind date arranged by Shen Ke for me, I saw Yan Xinglu at that time, and left my hometown alone to a strange world, I also have to bear those gossip and scolding, only he, but he showed me true kindness, I remember him, but this is not the beginning of those talented and beautiful romantic stories, and then I was forced to marry you, how can a person who has been taught equality and freedom since childhood accept being influenced by his fate, so I wanted to escape, just right, the kind he helped me again! ”
Du Yiyi spoke calmly, Ning Zhiyuan listened in shock, he told her many times about his past, but this was the first time she told him about her past life and inner thoughts, and what she said, a mouth, was a secret that shocked him, he was an atheist, never believed that there were such bizarre things in the world, but Du Yiyi said calmly and seriously, not a joke or a madman.
This story is very short, and her narration is also very concise, from last autumn to this spring, her tortuous life in the past seven months has all been presented in front of Ning Zhiyuan, since she said her identity, she is not afraid of being regarded as an alien monster by the strange gaze, she wants him to understand that she is not Du Yiyi.
"You made up a story like this for him?" Ning Zhiyuan could only find this reason.
"I'm not ashamed of my heart, and I'm even more worthy of you, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not!"
"The first time I saw you, I did feel different, I inquired about you, virtuous and quiet, I saw you that night, I once thought that my news was wrong, they said that you jumped off the city tower is the only bold thing you did, who knew that later after you woke up, your temperament changed greatly and did more bold things, think about it, you are indeed different from the Du Yiyi I know. The more I know, the more I think you are interesting, there are almost no people who can die for love in the world I know, and your escape shows that you don't love wealth, a woman who doesn't love wealth and is persistent in love will be the best couple that many people dream of, who would have thought that Du Yiyi is dead! ”
He already believed it, if Du Yiyi wanted to lie to him, he could find a better reason.
Du Yiyi smiled: "Don't you feel scared? A person from the future world, who has traveled through time and space, is attached to the body of a dead man. If others know, they will definitely regard me as a demon, what I want is very simple, peace and freedom, you and Shen Ke have joined forces, I have no use value for you, you let me go, I won't disturb your plans! ”
"Whether you are Du Yiyi or not, you are Princess Rui, you walked back by yourself, how can I let you go?"
"I can run away again, anyway, now I don't have to worry about it!"
"I can keep you." Ning Zhiyuan looked at the person in front of him coldly, and stretched out his hands to the hands resting on his thighs. "You have no worries, I will be your concern, you can tell me this secret, it is enough to prove that I am no longer outside your line of defense, I am no longer the Rui Wang Ye you hate, you have fallen in love with me, how can you say that there is no concern?"
The hands didn't hold Du Yiyi's hand, but they held her legs, and the two of them sat close together, shoulder to shoulder.
The warm breath is warmer than the spring breeze, the high bridge of the nose touches the smooth skin, the palm of the hand inserts the black hair, the cold fingers touch the warm back of the head, the hot and cold are combined, refreshing.
"So what?" Du Yiyi shook her head, her hair was loose, and the palm behind her head gradually left her scalp.
"You like me, I like you! Why can't we be together? The hand on the thigh moved up and took the hand.
"You can't just like it, your original motivation was to use me for your purposes, and there are some things that are more important to you! I've tried to accept you and your present life, but you don't! Du Yiyi broke free of this hand and got up and stepped back.
"Du Yiyi also likes Shen Ke, and Shen Ke also knows Du Yiyi, why did he marry Lu Xiangxue? Hatred cannot be forgotten, it can only be resolved by itself! You are not Du Yiyi, I have the same unforgettable hatred as Shen Ke, you have already tried once, why don't you let me try again? Ning Zhiyuan grabbed her sleeve and stepped forward, holding her arms.
"Your hatred is not gone, your ambition is not successful, can you try it for me once?" Du Yiyi snorted coldly and broke free, and quickly retreated to the center of the empty space.
"Stay, I'll prove it to you!" Ning Zhiyuan patted his chest. "Don't deceive yourself anymore, Du Yiyi jumped off the city tower for love, why can't you stay for me? As long as you stay, I won't embarrass the Yan family! ”
Yan family, Du Yiyi smiled bitterly and rubbed her red and swollen hands, it seems that today, she can't leave.
…………………………
The sedan chair in the Shen Mansion was carried back empty, and Mother Xu followed behind, dragging back all the things that Du Yiyi brought when she lived in Shen Ke in a carriage, and Lu Xiangxue, who had recovered her spirits, personally sent Mother Xu out to explain a few words, and then returned to the house under the supervision of Shen Ke.
Rao Su and Dong Yi's pace has not slowed down because of the Chunyu fraud case, and today the court got the promise of the emperor and Shen Ke, and the two were finally able to enter the harem and interrogate the case of the Shen Mansion with the Empress Chang Fei.
They went to Concubine Chang first.
Because of the spearhead of the Chunfu fraud case directly against the prince, Concubine Chang couldn't swallow this day and fidgeted, originally asked to see the emperor, but was guarded by the book Ruhai outside the Ningyuan Palace, and the emperor also seemed to deliberately avoid her, he would go to the imperial garden every day in the past to stay in Ningyuan Palace this day, her future prestige and blessing to enjoy the glory are tied to the prince alone, if the prince is defeated, she, the prince's biological mother, will not be able to escape the clutches of the queen, so many years and the emperor wits and courage, Seeing that the situation that she had balanced for many years and even in recent years was about to collapse because of Ning Cheng and Guan's adulthood, Concubine Chang was anxious, so she could only send her henchmen out of the palace again and again to contact her father's former cronies and friends, just waiting for Chang Shenghou to stabilize the overall situation before he rushed back.
Anxious, she didn't forget that there was still a case on her head, Shen Ke also went to court today, forcing the emperor to make a promise, Rao Su and Dong Yi came faster than she imagined.
"Concubine Chang Niangniang Jin An!"
"Two adults, let's get even! Come and give you tea! Concubine Chang sat on top of the main hall, smiling kindly.
"Thank you, mother! Wechen came here today because I wanted to ask Niangniang for some things in a case in my hand, and I hope that Niangniang can solve Weichen's doubts! ”
"Lord Rao, please!"
Dong Yi is the queen's person, and the relationship between the queen and concubine Chang has been very stiff for many years, and he met Concubine Chang first, and for the fairness of the case, all the questions were opened by Rao.
"Did Concubine Chang Niangniang ever give General Shen's wife, Luo Luxiang, Snow Bird's Nest, Snow Lotus?"
"It's true!"
"Does Concubine Chang have a grudge with Mrs. Shen?" Rao Su didn't bow his head to the bow, but raised his eyebrows and looked directly at the luxurious and dignified Concubine Chang, using his years of experience in handling cases to search for anomalies under her every move.
"This palace is a person in the harem, how can he have a grudge with the minister's wife." Concubine Chang smiled softly.
"Mrs. Shen was poisoned because of the poison in the supplement, and after the search of Weichen and Lord Dong, it was confirmed that she had eaten the congratulatory gift given by others, and the bird's nest snow lotus sent by Concubine Chang and Mrs. Shen were all eaten, I don't know what Concubine Chang's explanation is?"
"Mrs. Shen is two months pregnant, so she wants to eat more than just the things of this palace! Besides, what good is it to the palace to anger General Shen? ”
Rao Su arched his hand and said: "In order to find out this case, the palace people in Concubine Chang's palace should be brought back to Dali Temple for interrogation, and Concubine Chang's consent should be asked!" ”
Concubine Chang nodded in agreement and said: "Of course, although this palace is the prince's biological mother, she must also cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case, everyone in my palace is here, Lord Rao will take it away, but if this person does not commit a crime, Lord Rao has to let them come back unharmed." ”
"Thank you, mother! Wechen will retire first! ”
Shen Ke's case involved the harem, even if the emperor agreed, Rao Su and Dong Yi did not dare to be presumptuous, farewell to Concubine Chang, they took the palace people in Concubine Chang's palace and left the palace and went to Dali Temple for a new round of interrogation.
Concubine Chang and they can't be presumptuous, and the interrogation of these palace people is still very easy.
Knowing that Rao Su had left the palace, the queen who had made enough preparations secretly let Aunt Liu out of the palace, after Ning Cheng sealed the prince, Concubine Chang became more and more presumptuous in front of her, in order to make the emperor feel at ease, she had to make greater concessions for the prince's biological mother, this period of forbearance, condensed into a deeper resentment, the Chun Yan fraud case was exposed, Concubine Chang was in a worrying situation, it was the biggest joy for her.
"Niangniang, Princess Rui has returned to the Rui Palace."
Outside the bead curtain, a shrill voice came in, and the queen brushed her sideburns and let the palace maid open the bead curtain.
"Let Ning Yi come to see the palace!"
…………………………
Dark clouds cover the moon, the night covers the stars, and the capital tonight is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
In the darkness of the night, a shadow jumped over the eaves, and the shadow accurately and skillfully avoided the patrolling officers and soldiers, hid itself in the night, climbed into a well-guarded house with a rope with an iron hook, stuffed a letter into the crack of the window, and left.
Most of the palace people who interrogated in Dali Temple during the day were put back in the palace, leaving only four people imprisoned in the cells of Dali Temple, these four people are Chang Fei's personal palace maids, there is an aunt or Chang Fei brought into the palace from the palace, and the four people who are loyal to Chang Fei were left in Dali Temple overnight, which is enough to guide many people to think in one direction, but if one of them dies? How will it be?
The cold mangs did not enter the chest, the blood passed through the back, in the cell of Dali Temple, the palace people slept soundly, and the short dagger was placed in the hands of one of the palace maids who could never wake up, and a pool of blood stained the straw mat.
