Chapter 1: The Wedge
The sky fell on Lokin.
Zhang Xi felt that recently, her spirit was in a trance.
As long as she lies down and closes her eyes, after a while, in the sound of a twilight drum and morning bell, you can faintly hear a shout, calling her nickname, Ah Yan.
The voice was very familiar and vicissitudes, so much so that she felt like Ah Gu's voice, but she didn't feel like it.
When it came to Ah Gu, she hadn't seen him in days.
How many days have it been?
Since the day He Ruolong led the rebels into the capital, she has never seen Ah Gu again.
On that day, Ah Gu came to her bed and told her that Shangshu Mansion had been surrounded by He Ruolong's rebels, and he had gone to Shangshu Mansion to visit Aye.
Since then, she has not seen Ah Gu again.
Two months ago, in order to seek a child, she climbed the 9,999 steps of Guanzi Mountain step by step, and when she came down the mountain, she accidentally fell down and broke her legs, and now she has been lying on the bed for more than two months.
On this day, I woke up again, opened my eyes, and still saw the nurse Hu Yu waiting in front of the bed, shouted Eminem, and swept the whole room, only Hu Fei and a few maidservants, "What about Ah Gu, Ah Gu hasn't come back yet?" ”
As she spoke, she struggled to get up, and Concubine Hu stepped forward with two maidservants to help her up.
"Lao Shangshu has something to do, so he left Erlang behind, and after a day or two, Erlang will definitely come back."
Zhang Xi heard it but didn't believe it, Hu Yu had said this no less than ten times, these days, as soon as she opened her eyes, as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked about Ah Gu, and Hu Yu always comforted her with these words.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
"Yun Niangzi, the princess is recuperating and resting, you can't go in."
"Get out of the way and let me in."
"What about the princess, the queen mother is dead, and Zhang Thief is also dead, what kind of princess is she."
"Lady ......"
Zhang Xi's cold gaze came, and Hu Yu was so frightened that she suddenly stopped, she was really panicked in her heart, and at the same time she was very anxious, Ah Chen went out in the morning, and she has not returned yet.
I don't know what's going on outside.
"Let her in." Zhang Xi struggled to get up, letting Hu Yu put a crypt behind her.
Hearing a sound outside, after a while, Yun Xingnan walked in triumphantly, followed by her Ajiayun clan.
Yun's cheeks were pink, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, "Are you feeling better?" ”
"Ah Jia sits first."
Her Ajiayun family is a beauty who blows the lamp, she is cowardly by nature, she usually feels sorry for herself, and she has nothing to do with the moon to cry, but at this time, Zhang Xi really has no patience to comfort her, and looks at Yun Xingnan on the side, "Say what you just said, say it again." ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to say anything."
Yun Xingnan smiled first, "You don't know yet, the day after General He entered Beijing, the Queen Mother was killed by a dove, and the Holy Lord, the Zhang family's henchmen, have all been wiped out, you ......"
"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Xi's eyes turned red instantly, and he stared at Yun Xingnan angrily.
"I just pity you."
"How do you think you got the title of princess, your father has a personal relationship with Empress Dowager Yang, who doesn't know Luo Jing, your mother was given death by Empress Dowager Yang at the beginning, pity you, admit that a thief has been a mother for so many years."
"Believe it or not, you can ask the old slave next to you, it is because of this that Ah Gu didn't see you."
Hu Yu was so anxious that she exclaimed, she couldn't care about hiding it, "No, lady, Erlang is just imprisoned in prison." ”
With a snap, Zhang Xi raised his hand and gave Yun Xingnan a slap.
Yun Xingnan was stunned, Zhang Xi was arrogant on weekdays, just who let her have a good father, but now, she has nothing, the Zhang family has suffered from the collapse of the clan, what else does she have to rely on.
didn't wait for her to come back to her senses, but heard Zhang Xi say coldly: "This slap is just to tell you that I'm Aya is not something you can insult, take care of your mouth." ”
"You are not allowed to slander a mountain and a village."
The difference between the scholars is like mud.
Yun Xingnan is the niece of the Yun family of the A family, born in the Han family, at the beginning of the A family came to Beijing, bent on following the A family and marrying into the Gao family of the Shi family, but unfortunately, no one of the children of the Luojing Gao family was willing to marry her.
It wasn't until she was old that she relied on the Gu family to get a family affair and marry Qin Ke, who was also from a poor family.
"If you have something to say, if you have nothing to do, get out of this Lan Gui Yuan."
Zhang Xi's eyes were clear and terrifying.
Yun Shi was so frightened that his buttocks left the embroidery pier, and he trembled and got up slightly, "No, it's not me...... We were asked to come by the Ah family. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw more than 20 sturdy servant women rushing into the house, and quickly controlled Hu Yu and several servants, and the leader was none other than her husband Ah Gu's grandmother Shen.
As soon as the Shen family came in, he glanced at the Yun family, and his sharp gaze made the Yun family look like a quail, and he couldn't wait to hide.
"Grandmother."
Zhang Xi called out, looked at Hu Fei and the others who were tied up, was shocked, and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”
"The Holy Lord is in charge of the government, and he is purging the Zhang clan's henchmen, and you Aya has already cut himself in Shangshu Mansion last night."
With Shen's words, Zhang Xi's complexion faded inch by inch, until it turned white, tears filled her eyelashes, tears rolled down to her cheeks, and wet her clothes.
Yun Xingnan's words, she can not believe them, but Shen's words, she can't help but believe them, "Aya ......"
For a while, my heart was full of sorrow, and I couldn't suppress my grief, and I actually cried loudly.
"You followed Ah Gu, and also called my grandmother for more than ten years, coming, I don't want to embarrass you, drink this, and go on the road with peace of mind." As he spoke, Shen motioned to the servant behind him to bring a glass of poisoned wine.
After a long time, Zhang Xi stopped crying, did not stretch out his hand, but raised his head, looked at Shen with blurred teary eyes, and pleaded: "Grandmother, you let me see Ah Gu...... Good no good? ”
"He's in jail."
I heard Shen Shi say again: "If you drink this cup of wine, he will be released." ”
"Don't blame grandmother, I'm just trying to save the Gu family, in order to save Erlang, you and Erlang have a deep relationship as husband and wife, I think, you don't want to involve him."
Zhang Xi raised his head and closed his eyes, and uncontrollable tears came out of his eyes, but his hand trembled and stretched out slightly to the wine glass, his slender hands were like jade, and his fingertips were white, revealing a section of condensed frost wrist, the same color as the cup.
"Lady, don't do stupid things."
Hu Yu shouted eagerly, even if her hands and feet were tied, she still struggled to stop Zhang Xi, "Ah Chen has gone out this morning to find the people left by Qilangjun, without Lao Shangshu, there is still Qilang ......"
Hu Yu's words behind him blocked a piece of silk handkerchief.
Qilangjun is Zhang Xi's elder brother, named Xin, who served as the assassin of Qinzhou, the general of the expedition to the west, and the governor of the envoy festival.
"According to the news in the newspaper, a month ago, there was chaos in Qinzhou, and your brother is gone."
Zhang Xi just raised a glimmer of hope and fell into a trough again.
Grief for the loss of loved ones.
The green silk is scattered behind the shoulders like a waterfall, the bright eyes are like stars stained with a little water, clear and rippling, and the tip of the forehead is as bright and full as the autumn moon, Shen has always known that this granddaughter-in-law is a famous beauty in Luojing.
At this moment, I watched her pick up the cup and drink it, her movements were smooth, without any doubt, like flowing water, and the indescribable wind * flow was tactful.
More fearless.
Even the Shen family had to admire.
There was a crackling sound, it was the sound of Zhang Xi breaking the cup, scattered and shattered, and the Shen family and Yun Xingnan, who were close, were smashed with broken porcelain pieces on their faces, and Yun Xingnan immediately screamed with his face.
As soon as the voice came out, under the signal of Shen's gaze, the two healthy servants were pulled out.
Zhang Xi only felt a cramp in his abdomen, dizzy, leaning on the bag behind him, and didn't want to pay attention to anyone, Aya went yesterday, she walked faster, maybe she could catch up with Aya on Huangquan Road.
"Little Sixteen."
Who's calling her?
Zhang Xi turned his head, obviously seeing the look of horror on Shen's face, but it was not at her, but at the person who walked in from the door, looking at the pretend, it should be a military general, wearing armor on his body, the cold light shines on people, and the healthy servants guarding the door have all the soldiers he brought over.
It was as if the person was calling her.
However, she didn't know the man.
How could he be so bold and enter the Gu Mansion, it was like no one's land.
It can also make Shen afraid of Ruosi.
"Little Sixteen, you can't die, if you die, I'll let the Gu clan give you a burial."
As soon as these words came out, she clearly saw Shen slumped in horror in the arms of the servant woman behind her.
Zhang Xi's heart flashed with a burst of happiness, it was good if someone avenged her, her body twitched, "What are you doing with me......"
"Then I'll kill Gu Yunqing immediately and give you a funeral."
Zhang Xi's eyes spread out and gradually lost their brightness, however, as soon as she heard this, she grabbed the placket of the person who hugged her behind her, "Don't, he wants to live, live ......"
The light in his eyes spread, and a familiar scene appeared in front of him.
In the twilight of spring, the mulberry leaves are fat and green, the mulberries are purple and red, and the children are drooping.
“…… My surname is Zhang, my name is Xi, my name is Qingfei, my nickname is Ah Yan, line sixteen, you can call me Ah Yan. You can also call me Little Sixteen. ”
"My surname is Gu, my name is Gu Yunqing, and they all call me Erlang."
"You are beautiful, I don't want to be like others, my name is Ah Gu Kehao?"
"Good ......"
