Chapter 162: Sleepless
When he returned to his house at night, put Xiao Wangzhi, who had fallen asleep, on the bed and covered it with a quilt, Han Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the past, when Xiao Wangzhi slept with Shu Yu, he didn't think it was difficult to coax the child to sleep.
However, since moving to a new home, Xiao Wangzhi left Shu Yu at first glance and slept with him in this completely unfamiliar environment, making trouble for a while every night.
Looking at Xiao Wangzhi's innocent sleeping face, Han Yan's deep eyes glowed with a layer of warm and soft luster, and the whole person was finally able to relax for a while.
Got up and sat down at the table, and took out the letter from the capital from his arms, Han Yan looked at the lamp carefully.
The slightly scribbled handwriting was greeted by a familiar aura, and Han Yan could even imagine the situation where his friend Zhuang Xian specially wrote a reply with his left hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his expression was sad and melancholy.
He and Zhuang Xian are also considered to be ignorant.
One of the two is the only grandson of the official department, and the other is the son of Dali Siqing, the same generation of official eunuchs, the same unruly age, and the same personality of a ranger who is good at fighting grievances and determined to punish rape and eliminate evil, so that when they first met, they fought because of the narrow road.
As a result, the two of them went home with blue noses and swollen faces, and were beaten up by their respective fathers again, and they were escorted to apologize to each other.
At first, no one was convinced, so they simply made a private fight, which was bound to be higher.
came and went, and the two actually fell in love, and it naturally became commonplace to make an appointment to learn or meet to do chivalrous righteousness.
In order to avoid being discovered by the family, the two of them figured out a set of secret communication methods on their own, so that even if the letters exchanged were discovered by the family, they could not see the original intention of their letters.
Fortunately, this secret communication method allowed him to write to his friend Zhuang Xian to inquire about the current situation in the capital under the current situation.
Han Yan concentrated and read the letter carefully.
It is a tea tasting text, tea shape, tea color, tea fragrance, tea utensils, and tea water, which is exactly the truth, and there seems nothing wrong with it on the surface, but when Han Yan interprets it according to the secret communication method agreed upon by himself and Zhuang Xian, the real information hidden between the lines emerges one by one.
Zhuang Xian probably thought that he had been wandering away and did not know the news of the death of his eldest sister, so he not only informed him euphemistically at this time, but also specially comforted him a few words.
In addition, it is the end of his father's "order vacation", and he returned to the court, and was in charge of all things in Taichang Temple as usual.
However, after the sudden death of the eldest sister, and it was obvious that someone deliberately murdered him, but Emperor Yuan Jia was hit by the favoritism and protection of the culprit Zhao Guifei, his father's physical and mental state is not very good now, and he has the intention of retiring.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother was still unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family inheritance, his father had to support the planning for the eldest brother and the family, but I was afraid that after getting the news of the death of the eldest sister, he would be depressed and resigned.
And after this incident, Zhao Guifei covered the sky with one hand in the harem, and even the Empress Dowager Zhao had to avoid her edge, so she had to "rest assured" to retire in Cining Palace.
However, Emperor Yuan Jia is not stupid, although he blindly connived at Zhao Guifei to make waves in the harem, but she was not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty, at least, for now, she had to restrain and settle down.
Over the years, there have been many harem women who have been damaged under Zhao Guifei, and some of them have the same noble background as the eldest sister, Emperor Yuan Jia was afraid that if Zhao Guifei continued like this, it would anger the courtiers, and the fathers and brothers of those palace concubines would take the opportunity to unite and seek justice from Zhao Guifei.
At that time, even if he is the king of a country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect Zhao Guifei's red face.
……
When Han Yan saw the end, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and a letter was clenched tightly by him.
Zhuang Xian asked him when and why he came to the north without saying a word, saying that when the eldest sister died, his family went to Zixia Temple and did not find him, and even Liu Zhenren did not know where he went, only said that he went down the mountain to practice.
He asked him when he would return to the capital.
Go back to the capital......
That's something he thinks about day and night, but unfortunately, it's not time yet.
Han Yan thought about it, sharpened his ink pen and paper, and began to write a reply to Zhuang Xian.
He didn't want to drag Zhuang Xian into this matter, at least not yet, but he had to get in touch with his father through Zhuang Xian.
If he knew that the eldest sister's only blood and bones still existed in the world, and she was waiting for the opportunity to return to the capital to return to her sect in her name, my father would definitely cheer up!
At the moment, if Emperor Yuanjia detains Zhao Guifei in the harem, he has no time to track Xiao Wangzhi's time and get in touch with his father in time, I don't know when I will have a chance next time.
In the dim light, Han Yan held the pen with his eyebrows and slowly put down the pen, and every word had to be carefully considered again and again to avoid making mistakes.
……
The long night, the people are sleepless, and there is the capital Hanfu.
After the death of the eldest daughter in the palace, it seemed that Han Qian, the ten-year-old Taichang Temple Qing had aged in an instant, her temples were as white as frost, and her twilight was gloomy, and she had long since lost her previous spirit and spirit.
On the table in front of him was a small statue.
In the portrait, a little girl with a bun and a pink dress, about ** years old, is staring closely at a white butterfly that has landed on a blooming hibiscus flower, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the net pocket in her hand is raised high, about to pounce.
Han Qian stretched out his hand to stroke the small statue, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his muddy eyes, and soon turned into a flood of sorrow, covering his whole person heavily, in a vain attempt to destroy him.
This is his Wan'er, his first child, he tasted the joy and helplessness of a first-time father because of her arrival, and watched her grow from a crumpled ball to a toddler girl, and in the blink of an eye she became a bright and intelligent girl......
I remember that on the day I sent Wan'er to the palace, I laughed in front of others, and then I hid in the study and cried all night.
This is the will of the heavenly family, he is a courtier, there is no way to disobey the order, can only pray that Wan'er can live a safe and smooth life in the deep harem.
But who would have thought that Emperor Yuanjia's harem, except for her Zhao Zhen'er, everyone else just went in to die......
The night in September was cool, and Mrs. Han Meng waited in the room for a long time to see her husband return, knowing that her husband must have quietly hid in the study of the outer courtyard to miss the eldest daughter who unfortunately died early, and tears couldn't help but fall.
She cried silently for a while, raised her voice to call the maid to fetch water to come in and freshen up and change clothes, and instructed the kitchen to prepare some soup to clear the heat to cremate and nourish the depression, and send it to the study in the outer courtyard for a while.
The daughter is no more, even if she is blind from crying, she can't be called back, but the life of the family must go on. 2k reading web
