Chapter 278: The Old Man Comes
The cold wind poured in.
Helian You was dressed in a jet-black robe, and he watched intently as Xie Langhua strode towards her.
"Why are you here?" Xie Langhua looked at Helianyou, she was slightly stunned, and the rest of the words had not yet been spoken.
Helian You waved his long arm and hugged her into his arms domineeringly.
Fang Huanyun stood at the door, she glanced at it silently, and reached out to close the door.
The eldest lady always knows after her love, how could she ever think about Helian You's feelings for her.
Xie Langhua frowned slightly, and she reached out to push Helian You away.
Helian You looked at her intently, and his voice trembled and said, word by word, "I just want to make sure if you are still alive." ”
He had just succeeded to the throne with great difficulty, and the situation in the Northern Desert was still a little unstable, and before he could tell her the good news in person, the news of her death came.
At that moment, he only felt that the world was spinning, he put down the court, and no matter what the situation was, he rushed over from the Northern Desert day and night non-stop, and he rode eight horses to death along the way, and he never closed his eyes for several days and nights.
When Fang Huanyun brought the news of her resurrection from the dead to him, he was pleasantly surprised and couldn't believe the news anyway.
It wasn't until Fang saw her standing in front of him alive that his hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground.
"Thanks to Aunt Fang's cultivation of the Immortal Technique, I was able to come back from the dead. Xie Langhua said slowly.
Helian You was covered in wind and dust, there was still snow on his body, and under the candlelight, his eyes were blue and black, his face was full of stubble, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Xie Langhua turned around and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Helian You took the tea, and he drank it all.
Xie Langhua sat at the round table with him, with worry in her eyes, she looked at Helian You and said: "You have just succeeded to the throne, the situation between the DPRK and China is bound to be unstable, don't let your years of hard work go to waste, you better go back quickly!"
"It's okay, I'll sit a little longer!" Helian You looked at her intently.
He looked like he wanted to say something.
Xie Langhua looked at him and smiled faintly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Helian You paused slightly, and he said, "I've heard about Cui Su. ”
Xie Langhua's expression suddenly dimmed.
A touch of pity flashed in Helianyou's eyes, and he said softly: "Don't live up to his kindness, you must live well." ”
"Hmm. Xie Langhua slowly lowered his eyes.
Helian You then said: "I know your character, you are bound to avenge Cui Su, but revenge is not overnight, everything must be done slowly." ”
"I know. Xie Langhua said softly.
"Thank you for sending people to the Northern Desert to help, and for the things that you wrote to me about, the people who brought me to my attention, and helped me distinguish which ones are available and which are those who have different intentions, without you, I would definitely not be able to avenge my mother so quickly and take back everything that belongs to me. Helian You said solemnly, he looked at Xie Langhua intently, his face was full of undisguised gratitude.
He has always known that she is not very human, he has been in exile for many years, he is not familiar with everything in the Northern Desert at all, he wants revenge, it is not easy to regain the throne, but fortunately, she helps.
"I just did my best, if you hadn't left Aunt Fang to me, I'm afraid that I would have already returned to Huangquan, and you and I don't owe each other. Xie Langhua raised his hand and poured another cup of tea for Helian You.
Listening to the words "I don't owe each other", Helian You's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and drank the cup of tea to hide his strangeness.
Xie Langhua picked up his tea and took a sip.
The two men fell silent.
It's snowy outside.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and it was as warm as spring.
After a moment, Helian You looked up at Xie Langhua and said, "Now that I am the lord of the Northern Desert, if you need help, just ask, I can't say anything." ”
"Good. Xie Langhua looked at him and smiled faintly.
Under her gaze, Helian You slowly stood up, he looked at Xie Langhua intently and said, "I should go too." ”
He was relieved to see her safe and sound, the Northern Desert was initially decided, Helian Xiu was gone, he couldn't stay longer, he should also go.
"The Northern Desert was originally decided, don't take everything lightly, some people should be killed, don't want the kindness of women. Xie Langhua looked at Helian You and said.
Although she was just a boudoir woman in her last life, Xiao Mo liked to talk about the affairs of various countries, in order to cater to him, she sent people around to inquire about the news of other countries, but the funny thing is that she never had the opportunity to talk to Xiao Mo about this, after all, these things still came in handy.
The corners of Helian You's mouth rose, he glanced at Xie Langhua deeply and said, "I know." ”
After saying that, he paused, and then said, "Take care of your health, and if necessary, send someone to deliver a message to me." ”
"Okay, be careful all the way. Xie Langhua nodded and said.
Even though there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, Helian You took one last look at Xie Langhua, he didn't say anything, and strode around and left.
Xie Langhua wanted to send one to him.
He had already walked to the door, but unexpectedly, he didn't turn around at his feet, but turned his back to Xie Langhua and said: "It's snowy outside, it's cold, don't you have to come out and rest!"
He was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave when he turned to look at her.
But the situation did not allow him to stay longer.
"You be careful all the way. Xie Langhua looked at Helian You's back and said.
Helian You nodded slightly, and he reached out and pushed the door open.
Fang Huanyun stood at the door, and she nodded slightly at Helian You.
Helian You glanced at her and strode away into the snowstorm.
Xie Langhua stood in the room, the candle flame flickered to stretch her figure long, her face was obscure, so that people could not see her expression clearly.
"Miss!" Fang Huanyun stepped into the room, she reached out and closed the door, looking at Xie Langhua intently.
Xie Langhua knew that she had something to say, and he also knew what she wanted to say.
Helian You is her old master after all, and he has a life-saving grace with her.
"Aunt Fang, you don't have to say anything, I know everything. Without waiting for Fang Huanyun to speak, Xie Langhua looked at her and said.
She knew Helian You's feelings for her, and she deliberately pretended not to know, but because she couldn't give him any response, she wanted him to retreat.
In this world, love debts are difficult to repay, and she doesn't want to owe anyone anymore.
Fang Huanyun glanced at Xie Langhua, and she said softly: "It's not too early, the eldest lady should rest!"
Xie Langhua nodded lightly.
Xie Langhua was the only one left in the room, she lowered her head and gently stroked Qin Se.
Her face was desolate, and Nan Nan called Cui Su's name: "Ah Su......"
It snowed all night.
A thick layer of white snow fell, and the red plums in the yard bloomed.
After tomorrow, Sima Hong will be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Today, Yanjing suddenly broke a news, saying that the reason why Cui Yin's wife He Nianxi had a dystocia and collapsed that year, and her daughter died as soon as she made a move, was because the concubine Mo Jinniang poisoned her diet.
Over the years, he has been hiding Mo Jinniang and this concubine outside, and he deliberately spoiled Cui Su to make him fall into the reputation of a gentleman, just to pave the way for his concubine, and even the incident of bringing an illegitimate child was deliberately designed by Cui Yin to frame Cui Su, because only by expelling Cui Su from the house could he make room for his illegitimate son.
Even Cui Su's death was done by Cui Yin.
As soon as this incident came out, the Cui family stirred up a thousand waves for a while, how could a person like Cui You inherit the position of the head of the Cui family? There were already many people in the Cui clan who were not convinced by him, and many people immediately stood up and asked whether Cui Yin's matter was true, and if it was true, Cui You was definitely not worthy of inheriting the position of the head of the Cui family.
Several elders of the Cui family gathered around Cui Yin's study and refused to leave.
"Ah Yin, it is true that the He family died in blood when she gave birth to a daughter, and it is not false that the tablet you welcomed back a few days ago was Mo Jinniang, as for Cui Su's death to be studied, Cui You's background is categorically unworthy of being succeeded as the next head of the Cui family. Cui Xing, the highest-ranking member of the Cui clan, looked at Cui Yin and said in a deep voice.
As soon as his voice fell, the other elders in the room immediately echoed: "Yes! Only if the name is correct can I succeed to the position of the head of my Cui clan, if I am reluctant to do it, I will definitely not be able to obey the public, and my Cui family's century-old foundation must not be destroyed in your hands." ”
The words spoken by several elders were heavy.
"Uncles, there are just some gossips outside, which are categorically untrue, Jin Niang, she has never harmed the He family, and I have never hurt Ah Su, it is someone with a heart who deliberately released these messages to seriously hurt me and Ayou, and please uncle Mingjian, Ayou has just returned to the Cui family, and I want to pass on the position of the Cui family to him, I know that there are many people who are not convinced, these rumors must have been deliberately spread by them, I must find out these people, and return me and Ayou a clean slate. Cui Yin's face was a little ugly, and he bowed to several elders and said.
Cui Yin's words were conclusive, and the other elders did not have any real evidence, so it was difficult for them to speak again at the moment.
"Jiaojiao, the head of the family is discussing important matters with several elders, if Jiaojiao has something, it is not too late to come back to find the master of the family later. Just then there was a cacophony of voices at the door.
Cui Jin ignored the guards' obstruction, she pushed the door and broke in.
Cui Yin's face sank, he looked up at Cui Jin, and said softly with doting on his face: "Ah Jin, my father is busy, I will talk about it later." ”
As he spoke, he glanced lightly at the two maidservants beside Cui Jin.
"Jiaojiao, let's go back first!" The two maidservants stepped forward and pulled Cui Jin to take her away.
Cui Jin changed the demeanor of everyone's ladies in the past, she shook off the two maids, looked at Cui Yin coldly and said loudly: "You keep saying that you and Ayou are innocent, but who can give justice to your mother and brother, if it weren't for Mo Jinniang's poisoning of her mother, why did your grandmother order them to be killed, and why did you hide them, and they have been hiding for more than ten years, I also knew about this matter back then, and now the He family is not no one, why don't I invite the people from the rented family over and let them talk about the merits?"
