Chapter Ninety-Four: Suffering
Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.
The old woman who was kicked away really came to the gate of the palace, and when the hundred officials went to court, she cried hoarsely there, because there was an old man in the family who had delayed buying medicine, and he had already died yesterday.
The officials who passed by were all fleshy and long-hearted, and none of them were distressed, so they told them directly when they went to court.
Ji Wuhuan immediately made an order, arrested Yuan Ning'er, and buried the woman's family.
Yuan Ning'er didn't realize it, and when she returned home after defrauding a pile of silver, she saw that the man she married was hugging other women, so she stepped forward and beat her with a stick.
The man was also a scumbag, and he turned around and punched and kicked her again.
"Do you really think that you are a daughter? I don't work at home all day, I know that I will be embarrassed when I go outside, and I have a waste lady at home, you loser girl, I will divorce you sooner or later! The man yelled.
Yuan Ning'er looked at his passable face, and regretted killing him in her heart. At the beginning, she chose so many people, although the rich businessmen were uglier, they would not be like the current person, not to mention that they had no income, and their families were still poor.
"I am the emperor's own sister, if you dare to divorce me, I will dare to kill you!" Yuan Ning'er scolded.
The man snorted lightly, and when the third lady heard the movement, she hurriedly protected her Yuan Rou and didn't dare to make a sound. But their mother and daughter are not eating and drinking in vain here, working for their family all day long, they are about to become slaves, and it is difficult to exchange for a full meal, and they will be humiliated by Yuan Ning'er, but their mother and daughter have nowhere to go, since the old lady died of a serious illness, they can only follow Yuan Ning'er.
Yuan Ning'er was still scolding, but she didn't notice that the silver in her sleeve had fallen out. When his uncompetitive man and concubine saw it, their eyes immediately lit up: "It's silver!" ”
In these years, except for those with rich families, everyone has been starving, and now when they see the white flowers, their eyes are green.
Yuan Ning'er snorted coldly: "This is my thing." ”
"You are my person, and your things are naturally mine!" The man snorted coldly, raised his hand and was about to grab it, but Yuan Ning'er directly took the missing pottery urn on the side and smashed it down on his head, smashing him.
Seeing that his concubine was about to snatch it, Yuan Ning'er hated it very much, and the killing intent in her heart suddenly rushed up, picked up the stick and smashed it on her head, until the person was lying on the ground and was lifeless, and then she gasped and didn't dare to speak.
Everyone was stunned, and the man stopped wailing, looking at the people on the ground and shouting, "Kill, kill!" ”
The official who came to arrest Yuan Ning'er also arrived at this time, and without saying a word, he just twisted the couple and left.
The third lady and Yuan Rou barely escaped, but they knew that the capital could not stay any longer.
The third lady has experienced so much, why don't you know that she can't fight with Shen Qing at all? So he picked up the silver that Yuan Ning'er fell on the ground, and left Beijing with Yuan Rou.
Shen Qing was somewhat relieved when he heard the report.
These reduction policies were quickly rolled out, but there was only one person who was difficult to deal with, and that was Ji Yun's former concubine, Lin Miaoyue.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and Shen Qing almost forgot about her, but she was also at peace, so she stayed in the harem without saying a word, and it wasn't until this time that Shen Qing looked at the list of people who refused to cut the amount, and then she found her.
Xia Rao stood on the side, looked at Shen Qing sitting on the swing in the courtyard, and said, "Why are we still used to her?" She is not bad and kind, she has been against you everywhere from the beginning, and she has a bad heart towards the emperor. ”
Shen Qing smiled faintly and slowly shook the swing: "Anyway, her parents were killed by Ji Wuwu because of me after all, and this is what I owe her." You go and tell her to see if she is willing to leave the palace, and if she does, I will not pursue her anything. ”
Xia Rao disagreed: "You are always too soft-hearted. ”
Shen Qing looked at the delicate flowers on the ground, and then looked at An An not far away, and smiled lightly: "I want to accumulate virtue for An An, but don't worry, after going through so many things, I won't let her stir up the storm again." ”
"But......" Xia Rao was puzzled, but Shen Qing got up and went to pick up An An, who stretched out his hand to her.
"Go, whether you like it or not, you just send her away. If she dares to go back to the capital again, she will deal with it directly, and she doesn't have to go back to me. Shen Qing smiled lightly.
Xia Rao breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Miaoyue was used to being low and small, and when she saw the stitches, she didn't make trouble for them at the beginning. But also, Ji Yun's concubine, if Shen Qing kills her, it will inevitably be detained on Ji Wuhuan, who is supposed to seize the throne.
Xia Rao figured it out, so she didn't say anything more and walked out quickly.
Not long after she left, Zheng Luo came.
Zheng Luo is now the imperial doctor, and he has the privilege of entering and leaving the harem at any time.
He came over excitedly with the medicine: "Queen Mother, I made what you want!" He shook the small white porcelain bottle in his hand, and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, because the queen mother could say that as long as he promised to help her domesticate this Gu worm, she would promise to marry Xia Rao to him.
Shen Qing looked at his silly appearance, and laughed along, this stupid boy, what's the use of her promising to marry Xia Rao, in the end, Xia Rao must agree.
"Good work." Shen Qing said with a smile.
Zheng Luo didn't see her cunning, and asked with a slightly blushing face; "That mother, when will you marry Xia Rao to me?"
"Did you ask her?" Shen Qing said.
Zheng Luo paused: "It's not ...... yet"
Shen Qing's smile became bigger and bigger: "Then you go and ask, when she wants to get married, this palace naturally thinks that the sooner the better." ”
Zheng Luo nodded approvingly: "I also think that the sooner the better, I also want to have a child, hold it every day, I have thought of the name, just call Tiantian." ”
"How do you know you're going to have a daughter?" Shen Qing smiled.
Zheng Luo said without mind; "Giving birth to a boy can also be called Tiantian, smiling sweetly every day."
The nurse couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, An An saw everyone laughing, and she also grinned and giggled.
Shen Qing was in a much better mood, and handed An An to the nurse: "Let's take him elsewhere to play first." ”
The nurse hurriedly responded, hugged the child and left, leaving only Shen Qing and Zheng Luo.
Zheng Luo knew what Shen Qing wanted to say, and said: "This Gu worm is destined to remember Gu, it will make people constantly recall the profound things of the past, whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, it will be replayed in their minds over and over again. However, my ability is limited, and I have tried this one on myself, and it only lasts for three days, and then it is useless.
Shen Qing admired his Shennong's courage to taste a hundred herbs, but he still advised: "Don't try it again next time you have medicine." ”
"But Master taught me ......"
"So your master is a madman, and he has been criticized by the world for a lifetime." Shen Qing suddenly looked at him seriously: "If you want to pursue your medical attainments, I won't stop you, but you can't marry Xia Rao, and you can't ask Xia Rao to suffer with you while taking yourself seriously." She's suffered enough in her life, and I don't want her to be unhappy for the rest of her life. ”
Zheng Luo was stunned, he had never thought about this question.
"What do you mean by that I won't be able to try these medicines in the future?" He still didn't give up.
Shen Qing sighed lightly in his heart, but he didn't force him again: "You go back and think about it yourself, it's best to think about what state your master is in in his later years, you don't want Xia Rao to accompany you like this." She didn't want to interfere with the two of them, but Xia Rao had been bitter enough in her life, should she continue to be bitter, she really couldn't bear it.
Zheng Luo fell into deep thought, and after handing over the medicine to Shen Qing, he didn't continue to wait for Xia Rao as usual, and turned his head and went out.
Not long after he left, Xia Rao came back, and it seemed that he had just moved his hand, and his sleeve was torn.
"Mother." When she came in, she saluted directly.
Shen Qingwan didn't rush to ask about Lin Miaoyue, but told Fang Cai about Zheng Luo.
"What do you think?" Shen Qing asked with a smile.
Xia Rao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, most of the scars on her face had faded during this time, and she couldn't see it at all if she didn't look carefully, which showed that Zheng Luo's medical skills were superb. However, Xia Rao has a good personality and is also smart, although Zheng Luo is simple, he is smart and persuasive, and the two are a natural pair.
After Shen Qing finished speaking, she didn't rush to let her speak, only talked about herself and Ji Wuhuan.
"Lord Wang and I have been able to get to where we are today because we love each other enough. After so many ups and downs, there is still a long way to go, but we all believe in each other, and no matter who is in trouble, we will do our best. I don't know what you think with Zheng Luo, I don't know if you are willing to enjoy the tranquility after going through so much, or if you are willing to follow Zheng Luo to experiment and pursue his medical skills. After Shen Qing finished speaking, he paused, looked back at her, and said in a soft tone: "But although I told Zheng Luo today, if he doesn't give up, I won't marry you to him, but what I want to tell you is that no matter what decision you make, I will support you, and you will help you do your best within the scope of my ability." ”
Xia Rao's eyes were slightly wet, she had thought about this problem, but her heart seemed to have been numb for a long time.
She likes Zheng Luo a little, but she doesn't want to continue to drift and suffer for the rest of her life.
"If he had his insistence, maybe we wouldn't be the right fit. In this life, to be able to stay by her mother's side and be a maid with peace of mind, Xia Rao is already satisfied. "Su Qiu is gone, Di Yun is gone, all the people in Meiyun Pavilion are gone, if she doesn't have a good time again, how much should the master blame herself?
After all, Xia Rao was partial to Shen Qing, and partial to the dead Su Qiu and Di Yun.
Shen Qing didn't say anything more, Xia Rao is not small, she has her own mature values and ideas, all she can do is help her realize her ideas.
Later, Shen Qing knew that Lin Miaoyue was still playing Ji Wuhuan's idea, but she was forcibly sent away by Xia Rao.
In the evening, Ji Wuhuan came back, but his face was not as relaxed as usual, and he would not hide it from her if he had any problems.
"Mongolia is writing today, asking for peace." Ji Wuhuan sat on the warm couch and held her in his arms.
Shen Qing had long been mentally prepared for the matter of harmony: "Is there no other prince and minister who is suitable?" ”
Ji Wuhuan said: "The sister-in-law of the second-rank hussar general, as well as a few county kings and kings with different surnames who have just been promoted, but Mongolia will let the princess come over first this time, I don't know if I can pick it." ”
Shen Qing knew his worries, Mongolia took the initiative to make peace, and if he refused, he was afraid that his overtures would be sent to Nanzhao and Dayan. Great Wei can avoid war now, but it still has to be avoided, and the people can't afford to fight again.
"Okay, let the princess come over first, and I'll entertain you." Shen Qing smiled lightly, her eyes bright. There will always be a way to deal with a girl with a budding spring heart.
Ji Wuhuan said: "Thank you for your hard work." With that, his hands began to restless. From his direction, he could see her slightly open collar, although she wore a lot, but when she breathed, the slight rise and fall of her chest still made his heart move, especially when her eyes were as bright as the moon, which was even more intriguing.
The maids who were about to enter the door outside the house to pass the meal listened to the movement inside, quickly stopped, looked back at the palace maids who came with them, and waved them all away.
"But Auntie, the meal has been delayed...... a little anxious, but the palace maid smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, the emperor and the mother are both generous people, and they won't blame us, you just go back and wait, and come back after the time of half a pillar of incense." With that, he also retreated with a slight red face.
Inside the house, spring is shining.
At this time, Nanzhao, the king of Dongyang County had been forced to retreat to a corner by the army of Dayan, but he did not kill him at the last moment, but gave him a chance to breathe and let him regroup.
The camp of the king of Dongyang County was set up outside the city, because the fighting stopped for a while, so everyone was able to bury the pot and make rice.
In the camp, Zhang Xiaofang blushed and looked at his father: "No matter what, Great Wei will not send troops, don't even think about it!" ”
"If he wants to marry my daughter, he must bring an army of 300,000, otherwise, I will marry you to a lame man, and I will not marry him!" The king of Dongyang County shouted loudly, he was a middle-aged man of fifty years old, but the pressure of the war made him grow a full beard, and he looked more than ten years old. It's just that Zhang Xiaofang is his daughter in old age, and she has been very precious since she was a child, and now she says such a thing, which Zhang Xiaofang never thought of before.
She burst into tears, but she only wiped it with her sleeve: "Then you might as well kill me, and I should not have your father!" After speaking, Ji Rui, who was pulling aside, walked out of the camp quickly.
The king of Dongyang County didn't stay, looking at her back, Rushan's figure seemed to become rickety all of a sudden.
He sat down after returning the case tiredly, and the adjutant general on the side had been following him, a little incomprehensible: "General, why do you dare to go like this." ”
"What else. This battle is life and death, Xuanyuan Li will not let me go at all, if you don't drive her away, will you keep her to die with me? He coughed heavily, and the wounds on his body cracked, and a strong bloody breath came out.
Seeing this, the adjutant general only silently went to get the wound medicine and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Xiaofang walked forward while crying, and she didn't know how long she had walked before she finally stopped, and she stood alone and cried loudly. She lost her mother at a young age, and she went through so much alone, she had a lot of grievances and wanted to tell her father, but her father opened his mouth to drive her away.
Ji Rui watched the girl who had never been afraid of pain or hardship crying like this, her heart was clenched, she stepped forward and gently took her in her arms, and patted her back gently with her hand: "Don't cry." ”
Zhang Xiaofang saw that he took the initiative to hug himself and cry louder, and when he was finally finished crying, he snorted and looked at his chest that was covered by his tears, and poked his fingers: "It's wet." ”
Ji Rui didn't know what to think, coughed lightly, pulled her hand, and said, "Don't be wronged, your father is for your good." ”
"Good for me?" Zhang Xiaofang was in a hurry, so she didn't think about anything.
Ji Rui smiled lightly: "Whether he fights this battle or not, Xuanyuan Li will not let him go." Now Dayan is a very strong enemy at all, as long as they want to, your father will die at any time, if you stay, won't you die with him? ”
"But......" She began to get anxious, and turned her head to go back: "I'll take him away, take him to the Great Wei ......"
"I can't go." Ji Rui had already thought about it, Da Yan had already stared at the king of Dongyang County like meat in a bowl, so he would keep playing the game of cat and mouse without catching him.
"Then what should I do, do you see that Daddy was really killed by them?" Zhang Xiaofang tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, that is, she was going to die, as a daughter, she had no reason to leave alone.
"The only way is to wait." Ji Rui stepped forward and naturally put her hand in the palm of her hand.
"Wait?"
"That's right, when Xuanyuan dies, your father's rival will be gone. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, what Dayan will have to deal with is not your father, but thinking about how to swallow Nanzhao, which is why they are willing to send troops. The current Xuanyuan is more dangerous than your father. Ji Rui finished with a smile, looked at the smoke rising not far away, and said with a smile: "The rice is cooked, go home and eat." ”
Zhang Xiaofang listened to his analysis, and felt a lot more settled, so he nodded heavily and went to the camp.
When the king of Dongyang County saw them coming, he was surprised, Zhang Xiaofang immediately said Ji Rui's words, and this time the king of Dongyang County was silent.
"Do you have any good ideas?" He asked.
Ji Ruiwaner: "The queen mother will have a way." ”
Da Wei
Shen Qing sneezed inexplicably, so frightened that Xia Rao hurriedly took a cloak and put it on her: "You should also be careful." ”
Shen Qingwan'er wrote the letter, which made people send the memory Gu and the letter together. She knew what Xuanyuanli's most painful memory was, that is, the bullying when he was a child as a proton, those unwillingness, once he remembered it, he would be in pain, and that time would also be his death!
"Ji Che still won't come out?" Shen Qing asked.
Xia Rao remembered Ji Che, who had locked herself in the room since the death of the Queen Mother, and bowed her head slightly: "Listening to Zheng Luo, he rushed back in such a hurry, I don't know how long he can live." ”
Shen Qing thought of Ling'er, lowered his eyes, and didn't know what to think.
When Ji Wuhuan came back at noon, she mentioned Ji Che and Ling'er.
"Has Ling'er been placed in Dayan?"
"Dayan is safer than Dayan now." Ji Wuhuan said before looking at her: "What are you worried about?" ”
"Zheng Luo said, Ji Che is afraid that he will not live long, and I am afraid that Ling'er Xu has known about Ji Che's existence for a long time." Shen Qing said that she was worried that once Ji Che died, Ling'er would not even see the last face, nor would she say goodbye to the last time, and this relationship that would never be possible would never end.
Ji Wuhuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't seem to know how to solve this problem for a while.
After noon, he went to see Ji Che.
Ji Che's face was terrifyingly pale, as if the blood in his body had been drained, his cheeks were deep, his lips were pale, and the whole person was like a puppet that would disperse as soon as the wind blew.
Ji Wuhuan came over, and his eyes only moved slightly.
"Are you looking for death?" Ji Wuhuan went straight in.
Ji Che's eyes moved again, and he didn't speak.
Ji Wuhuan stood in front of him with his hands in his hands and continued to ask, "What about Ling'er, don't you plan to give an explanation?" ”
Hearing Ling'er, Ji Che finally raised his eyes to look at him: "I won't live long, why does Ling'er need my explanation." ”
"How do you know Ling'er doesn't need it?" Ji Wuhuan's face did not change, and he only narrated in a calm tone: "Ling'er is smarter than you think, because she can't see with her eyes, her sense of smell and hearing is even more sensitive than that of people who practice martial arts, but you can distinguish everyone by smell and footsteps, you have been by her side for so long, think she doesn't know?" ”
"Then why did she ......?"
"Why never mention it? Because Ling'er knew that you didn't want her to know about you, she pretended not to know. When you die quietly here, she will pretend not to know, and then worry about it for the rest of her life. Ji Wuhuan said lightly.
Ji Che's hand tightened suddenly, the woman who was like an elf, the woman who was pure and not stained with a trace of dust.
"She shouldn't know about me, I'm just her pain." Ji Che suddenly regretted it, regretting why he provoked her in the first place, thus harming her for the rest of her life.
"Ling'er may not feel bitter, as long as you have an explanation, as long as she knows, you also like her. Ling'er is a clear child, and she is also a well-behaved child, but she has her own stubbornness, she has not been in contact with another man for such a long time except for me, she likes you, you are different from her and I are for her. Ji Wuhuan was not reluctant, and after speaking, he turned his head and left, he knew what Ji Che would decide.
When Ji Wuhuan left, he paused, turned around and said, "Since Ling'er was born, a doctor said that she would not live for sixteen years. Now she's fifteen......"
After speaking, Ji Wuhuan left.
Ji Che was stunned, how could it be, Ling'er had never seen this colorful world in her life, why did she have to live less than sixteen?
He has always only licked his wounds in his own world, not knowing that there is a more painful Ling'er in the world than him, but following her for so long, he has never seen her show sadness, only when he was about to leave that day.
Ji Che didn't dare to stay for a moment, and was about to leave, but when he stood up, he only felt as if thousands of sharp knives were cutting him, so that he should pass out.
Dayan's Ling'er, she sat on the swing, listening to Mama talking interesting things, her lips were small, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her heart, and she stopped for a long time: "Mama, I want to meet him." ”
"Who?"
"He's the one who weaves the garland for me." Ling'er was still smiling, but tears were slowly falling, as if she felt that person slowly passing away.
Mama was startled and hurried to explain, but she heard a noise at the door, and then a strong smell of blood came.
