Chapter 66: Recognition
Selin is gone, and Yan Zhihe is also gone with Prince Ballist. After hearing that Yan resolutely sent Yan Zhihe away, he stood at the gate of the city for a long time. I heard that the second aunt cried to death, and was finally locked up in her yard. I also heard that the third aunt, who is now Mrs. Yan, has made a marriage for Yan Xiling, and the object is a protΓ©gΓ© of Yan Yiran. It is said that the protΓ©gΓ© is talented and highly appreciated by Prime Minister Yan, and is very likely to win the top prize in this year's imperial examination.
Yan Lingyue learned all of this from Mama Li's mouth. Since she became a parent, she has not returned to Yanfu except for one trip back to Yanfu when she returned to the door three days. As the saying goes, the girl who gets married spills the water, and she, who became a widow not long after getting married, is not suitable for running to her parents' house.
Ming Hanxuan fell silent again.
Yan Lingyue's mind was repeatedly thinking about Wang Renzhong and Bai Yaqing. I wonder what the two of them are doing in private? That night, taking advantage of the silence of the night, Yan Lingyue quietly slipped to the side courtyard where Wang Renzhong lived.
At that time, there was still a faint light in Mr. Wang's room.
Yan Lingyue quietly came to the window of Old Master Wang, and leaned over, trying to see what he was doing.
Unexpectedly, he looked directly at Mr. Wang.
Yan Lingyue was startled, and as soon as she turned around and was about to escape, the door of the room opened from the inside. Old monk Wang stood at the door of the room with his hands behind his back and looked at Yan Lingyue.
Yan Lingyue could only bite the bullet, turned around, and looked at Old Monk Wang.
Old monk Wang didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "The Nine Emperor Princesses secretly came to the old man, what do you want to do?" β
Yan Lingyue, who was still a little weak-hearted, was a little unhappy when she heard Old Master Wang say that she was sneaky, "As the hostess of Ming Hanxuan, I can go wherever I want, what is sneaky?" β
Old monk Wang suddenly smiled, "Ming people don't say dark words. The old shopkeeper of the woodcarving zhai, as well as Wang Jinglan, who helped in the woodcarving zhai, all obeyed the orders of the Nine Emperor Princesses, right? β
Yan Lingyue was stunned. Could it be that she asked them to inquire about Bai Yaqing, and Wang Renzhong knew?
Old man Wang hooked his lips and smiled, and suddenly his body flashed, and he tightly choked Yan Lingyue's neck, "What is the purpose of you following the old man?" β
Yan Lingyue coughed twice, she was almost out of breath, and patted Wang Renzhong's hand and said, "Let go, let me go." β
Old Master Wang's subordinates used some strength again, "Say, who asked you to investigate the old man?" β
"No, no one," Yan Lingyue struggled, trying to break free from Wang Renzhong's confinement.
"In the end, say it or not," said Mr. Wang's eyes.
Yan Lingyue felt that her neck was about to be broken, and at this moment, she had no doubt that Wang Renzhong would dare to kill her.
"Uncle, uncle, I'm the crescent moon," Yan Lingyue took a deep breath, her eyes filled with tears.
When Mr. Wang heard this, he was stunned and his hand was released.
Yan Lingyue sat on the ground, touching her neck with her hands, and breathing desperately.
"You...... What are you calling me? Old Monk Wang squatted down, shook Yan Lingyue's shoulder, and said, "You repeat what Fang Cai said!" β
"I'm the crescent moon, Uncle Wang," Yan Lingyue's tears rained down, "Have you even forgotten your favorite little crescent?" β
Little Crescent, that is the nickname that Wang Renzhong gave to Princess Beiyan. This name, except for the king and queen of Beiyan, is only known to Yan Lingyue and Wang Renzhong himself.
Old Monk Wang's eyes were full of incredulity when he looked at Yan Lingyue again, "What nonsense, you are clearly the fifth lady of the Yan family, Yan Lingyue, don't talk nonsense here." β
Old man Wang finished speaking, turned around and went back to the room.
Just as he was about to close the door, Yan Lingyue rushed forward and squeezed into the room, "You have to believe me, uncle, I really am a crescent moon." β
Mr. Wang shook his head, looking unacceptable.
Yan Lingyue pulled his sleeve and said, "Originally, I thought that I would be buried in the fire with my father and queen mother, but how could I have thought that when I opened my eyes, I was actually in the Yan Prime Minister's Mansion in the Great Zhou, and I became the fifth lady of the Yan family......"
Yan Lingyue told the ins and outs of the matter from the beginning. Shaking the arm of the old monk Wang, he said, "I always thought that my uncle had really surrendered, so when we first met, my attitude was so bad. It wasn't until a few days ago when I passed through the water alley and followed Uncle Yaqing to meet Sister Yaqing that I knew that I might have misunderstood Uncle Wang. β
"I know it's a bizarre experience, but in fact, I'm really reborn!"
Yan Lingyue knelt on the ground with a "poof" as she spoke, "Zhou Ziyu is no longer here, and I don't even have a person around me who can help me." I beg Uncle to help me, and Yue'er will take revenge! β
Looking at Yan Lingyue who was kneeling on the ground, Wang Renzhong had gradually accepted the shock at the beginning. Identities can be faked, words can be faked, but the hatred in a person's eyes does not lie.
The fifth miss of Yanfu has no reason to hate King Zhou, the fifth miss of Yanfu will not say the name of crescent moon, and the fifth miss of Yanfu will not call Sister Yaqing.
At the moment when he helped Yan Lingyue up, Old Monk Wang couldn't help but shed tears, "God really doesn't want to kill my Beiyan." β
From Wang Renzhong's mouth, Yan Lingyue learned that although Bai Yaqing did not marry her brother Yan Lingshan, in fact, the two of them had already had the same room. Just after Beiyan was destroyed and the Beiyan royal family was slaughtered, Bai Yaqing found out that she was pregnant.
At that time, Wang Renzhong's family had not yet been arrested, and the panicked Bai Yaqing found Wang Laojushi. In order to leave a queen for the Yan family, Wang Laoju persuaded Bai Yaqing to keep the child. Unexpectedly, that night, the palace was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou, and the family of Wang Laoju was also arrested.
In order to keep the child in her womb, Bai Yaqing sneaked out of Baifu. Disguised as a beggar, he wandered all the way to Da Zhou with the prisoner car escorting Wang Laojushi.
This is also the reason why Wang Lao Jushi would rather watch the Wang family be beheaded by King Zhou than live alone. He can't die, he must keep the only blood and bone of the Yan family.
On the way to Da Zhou, he planned everything, and when he resisted a little after Da Zhou, he would pretend to surrender. But he didn't want his son to be so impulsive, and he didn't wait for him to find an opportunity to tell these plans, so he actually made a move at the celebration banquet of King Zhou to assassinate King Zhou.
turned out to be good, and was directly beheaded by Zhou Ziyu. also caused the entire Wang family to be beheaded. Because of this accident, Wang Laojushi dragged on for nearly a month, and he also directed and acted in a poisoning scene before surrendering to King Zhou.
Listening to the slow words of the old monk Wang, Yan Lingyue was uncomfortable and knelt in front of him again.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" Old monk Wang reached out to help Yan Lingyue, but was refused.
"The great kindness of the old monk Wang's family, Yue'er can only be a cow and a horse in the next life and then repay it," the words fell, Yan Lingyue kowtowed to the old monk Wang three times. If it weren't for Beiyan, Wang Laojushi's family would not have been beheaded, and if it weren't for Wang Laojushi's presence, the child in Bai Yaqing's womb might have been gone.
To be able to retain the blood and bones of the Yan family, not to mention three ringheads, even ten or twenty ringheads, Wang Lao Jushi also deserves it.
"When I have a chance another day, I will take the princess to meet your little niece. looks like the crown prince is carved out of the same mold," Speaking of the child born to Bai Yaqing, Wang Laoju also had a smile on his face. After a while, he sighed again, "It would be better if it was a little prince." β
Knowing that Wang Laoju was thinking about the Yan family, Yan Lingyue was a little unimpressed, "If Sister Yaqing is really a little prince, I am afraid that she will be burdened with more in the future." It's not bad to be a little princess, at least you can grow up carefree. β
Old Monk Wang shook his head disapprovingly, "Has the princess forgotten what you said about revenge?" Since the little princess was born at this time, she naturally has to bear this hatred of her family and country. β
"But she's only so young......," Yan Lingyue didn't understand, "How can she take revenge?" β
Old Monk Wang stared at Yan Lingyue for a while, and finally sighed, "If the Nine Emperor Princes are still here, things will be easy to handle." β
At the mention of Zhou Ziyu, the smile on Yan Lingyue's face gradually disappeared, "The matter has come to this, so how can we take revenge?" β
Old Monk Wang pondered for a moment, and whispered in Yan Lingyue's ear, "Queen Xiao! β
Queen Xiao? Yan Lingyue's brows furrowed when she heard this.
β¦β¦
A small mountain village far from the imperial city.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, it's time to go home and take medicine," a young girl happily ran to Zhou Ziyu's side, took his arm, and said coquettishly.
Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting by the river in a daze, distanced himself from the girl without a trace, got up, and walked to the village not far from the river without saying a word.
Since waking up ten days ago, Zhou Ziyu found that he had actually become sober. Unexpectedly, this time he fell off the cliff, and he was a blessing in disguise, but he hit his head well.
According to the white-bearded old man, he fell off the cliff and hit the back of the head hard, and even if he could wake up, it stands to reason that he would become demented.
However, he was already traumatized in his brain when he was a child, and he was originally a little stupid. Nowadays, with such a heavy blow, an inappropriate example is to fight poison with poison, and the negative is positive, but it will be fine. And after more than a month of recuperation, Zhou Ziyu's body has basically recovered, but the fracture of his left leg is not yet good, and he still needs to walk with crutches.
Seeing that Zhou Ziyu didn't care about herself, the girl was not discouraged, so she happily chased after her again, and grabbed Zhou Ziyu's arm, "Brother Yu, don't you have a black face and smile every day?" Grandpa has said it, smile more, and when you are in a good mood, you can get better quickly. β
After getting along for a period of time, Zhou Ziyu also figured out the situation here. This small mountain village is called Mojiao Village, and there are only about a dozen households in total, not far from the imperial city. However, because it is located in the gap between two mountains, the location is relatively remote. People here can go out, but outsiders can't get in.
