Chapter Seventy-Nine: Prepared
Zhao Yien paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing a fierce anger, as if he was fighting on the battlefield. After all, his life was held in the hands of his sister who didn't trust him, and it seemed to be suffocating all day long. He rummaged through the bookshelves and finally found a small bottle filled with scarlet cinnabar.
Zhao Yien smiled and sighed Poor sister, it was you who wanted to harm me first, and then sealed the bottle and put it in a cloth bag.
A few years ago, he sent his young niece to the palace and arranged it next to Zhao Chai. At that time, if nothing else, Zhao Chai was afraid that the newcomers would share their favors, and he was afraid that he would be old and decrepit and would not be favored by the king of Beiyang before. After all, he is the best person who can control it, so he chose a young and beautiful woman of appropriate age from the Zhao family to enter the palace as a concubine.
At first, Zhao Yien was unwilling, his niece was indeed born beautiful, and she was loved by him since she was a child. originally had a husband and wife who were in love, but he was coerced and lured into the palace by Zhao Hai.
The little girl cried with pear blossoms and rain, and there was no way to choke up every night. For the sake of the glory of the family, she can only do this. Since she was a child, she has been obedient to her parents' words, and she has always felt that she is an empathetic child who will be rewarded with good people. However, the marriage event is approaching, but she has received the will to enter the palace, and she can't help but hate.
But Zhao Chai is in the palace and is her only relative. She can only rely on Zhao Hai to live steadily in the palace. However, she always complained about Zhao Chai's advice. I don't have half a yearning for life in the palace, and the two of them can still talk when the king of Beiyang favored her in the past. But she has only been in the palace for a year or two, and the king of Beiyang will never summon her again, and the day before yesterday suddenly came the bad news, saying that the first king had died.
She didn't want to be buried in this palace in this good year, and there was no trace of nostalgic people and things.
And Zhao Yien's natural way is what her niece thinks. When his niece entered the palace, he also said goodbye with a handful of snot and tears, and a reluctant look was engraved in his niece's heart. At the beginning, he wanted to one day, if Zhao Hai had an incident, he could monitor it, and even kill him quickly.
He was quite proud of his old layout, after all, only a person as resourceful as him could lay out early on the chessboard.
Zhao Hai's trust, his niece's hatred, and his own defenses have long been prepared, just waiting for one move to defeat the enemy. Zhao Yien was overjoyed, and he took out another magic weapon - a hairpin that his niece once gave her by her sweetheart.
The former fiancΓ© was also reluctant to give up his old love, but after all, his sweetheart was about to enter the palace, so he put this old love thing in the wilderness and burned it together. It just so happened that Zhao Yien's subordinates were out of the city on errands that day, and when they saw a familiar person, they stepped forward to say hello. Seeing this, he was greedy and wanted to take away the things, so he divided the little silver of the man who was doing the errand. The man was also greedy for money, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by his master after he went to the pawn shop and sold it, and he was afraid that he would be denounced...... After all, he was a thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, so he had to be burned as instructed. happened to meet Zhao Yien's person, so he directly waved his hand and gave it all to him.
This person was carrying a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, and it was not easy to walk, and he stumbled and fell in front of Zhao Yien, and the jewelry was spilled on the ground. Zhao Yien didn't know where these jewels came from, thinking that they were thieves. The stick was inflicted, and as soon as the stick was struck, the man was all killed.
Zhao Yien kept these jewels, and then beat people to death and threw them in mass graves.
Now I didn't expect it to come in handy.
He beckoned the butler to come in and ordered, "Go, send this hairpin to the mother." β
The director looked at it, this is not like something that Zhao Chai will like, after all, it still looks a little simple, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it the lady of your family?" He has followed Zhao Yien for many years, and naturally knows that although Zhao Yien is respectful to Zhao Chai on the surface, he has long been dissatisfied and never returns Zhao Chai to his family.
"Yes." Zhao Yien waved his hand, "Tell the grandmother beside her, let her wait in the inaccessible garden on the edge of the cold palace at night." β
The man hastily retreated and went back to his life, leaving Zhao Yien alone with a confident backhand and a smile.
Today, Zhao Hai must have thought that he was dead, and he had made an appointment to discuss important matters. If it wasn't really what she did, she would have sent someone to check it out. However, Zhao Hai has long forgotten to meet Zhao Yien today, after all, in her eyes, she only needs a good day to ascend the throne.
Moreover, the little young master cured the original withered flowers in the palace, although it was early spring, but the orchids were already blooming, and Zhao Chai felt that it was an auspicious omen after reading it. She held a thousand orchids and sat in the palace and watched them all day. The petals of the flower caress up, like a woman's skin, textured but smooth.
immediately ordered a reward of five hundred taels of silver, which made the little young master very happy. However, it was not good to sleep alone with so much silver, so he sent all the people out of the palace in case of emergency.
The day was always so hurried, and before everyone could react from last night, night had fallen again.
Zhao Yien cleaned up his head, and didn't think much about it, so he mysteriously rushed to the palace. Originally, Zhao Yien still needed Zhao Hai's summons to enter the palace, but later the number of times became more and more frequent, so there was no such cumbersome process, and the guards only needed to keep a little record.
Zhao Yien took a fancy to this, and only tonight did he not hesitate to take risks to enter the palace.
After all, no one here knows that they have died.
However, he still dodged the palace maids and guards who came and went, walking around in the darkness of the shadows, no one noticed him, and even if there was, he just hurried by to say hello, after all, Zhao Yien has been here too often recently.
After five or six turns along the wall, I finally arrived at the agreed place.
Her niece was already waiting there, her face much haggard, and her back was very thin. Zhao Yien walked over slowly, and shouted respectfully: "Niangniang." β
"What's your name, do you think I'm not miserable enough, give me a place to be happy every day!" She spoke with a snarky voice. Zhao Yien was not annoyed, and affectionately called her nickname.
She didn't appreciate it, and asked, "What do you mean by giving me that hairpin today!" Don't think I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd. β
Zhao Yien smiled, and did not beat around the bush: "You are still young, you have to plan for yourself." β
"I thought, what do you tell me to do? I don't want to stay in this deep palace for a long time! "Every day and night is an ordeal for her. Don't want to stay any longer! She didn't know who to resent, and everything started with Zhao Hai when she thought about it.
In this long night, the resentment against Zhao Chai has grown into a towering tree like a sprout, taking root in every corner of my heart. If it weren't for Zhao Chai, she would be able to live freely now, just like when she was young, and walk through the streets and alleys with her beloved. Now that the King of Beiyang has passed away, and she is only twenty years old, she has no feelings for this place. If she could be given a chance to escape, she would do her best to seize it!
