Chapter 217: People's hearts are fickle

Shaozhou Mansion

Qin Yi looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and only felt that it was heavy.

He sat down in his chair, his hands hanging down, and the paper fell to the ground.

"Ahem......"

Qin Yi clutched his chest and coughed a few times, feeling a pain in his injured heart.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to restrain the uncomfortable feeling.

"Sister Yan Ran."

It took a long time for Qin Yi to catch his breath.

He waved his hand and asked everyone to go down, and when he was the only one left in the house, Qin Yi hugged his head and cried: "Sister Yan Ran......"

Many memories came flooding back to my mind at once.

The girl who was smiling in the back garden of the small house in Taiping Village, the little girl who gave him food and taught him how to practice calligraphy with a smile, the girl who was abducted and sold to the Qinglou by a kidnapper, helpless, and even laughed with bitterness.

and the woman who was covered in blood and was rescued by Cheng Yanluo and was dying.

Also, there is a beautiful woman who works hard with him to learn arithmetic and bookkeeping, and will not be defeated by any difficulties encountered, and will get up with a smile, work hard to stand up, and her spine will always be straight.

She is smart and indifferent, always with a smile on her face, no matter when, where, or what kind of situation she encounters, she will work hard to find a way, and she will never be beaten down.

Qin Yi thought of the words that Cheng Yanran had said to him.

"Si Niu, I really want to become a man, I want to go out and see everything in this world."

"Si Niu, is it a sin to be born a woman?"

"Lord Qin, how many women can you save?"

"Si Niu, it turns out that it is such a happy thing to stand up on your own and earn money to support yourself with your own hands......"

"Si Niu, I was finally able to go out, and I did what many men couldn't."

"Si Niu, I only hope that future women will not have to suffer like me, I just want all women in the world to live with dignity."

Those words are still in my ears, but the Iraqis are gone.

Qin Yi, like Cheng Yanluo, knows Cheng Yanran best.

He knew why Cheng Yanran died.

He also knew that those poisons were not ordered by Hou Huizhu, but by Cheng Yanran himself.

The purpose is to be able to end the war as soon as possible, and it is also to avenge Qin Yi.

"Sister Yan Ran, if I could have been careful at that time, I would have brought more guards and entourage, and I wouldn't have to hurt myself, wouldn't you have to die?"

Qin Yi asked himself and muttered a lot of words.

When he had cried enough, he wiped away his tears, stood in front of the window with his hands and looked up at the clear sky: "Sister Yanran, what I can do for you is to make this world less Cheng Yanran." ”

Cheng Yanluo took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Northern Zhou side and took advantage of the situation to take down the entire Henan Province in a few months.

At this time, Xue Feng's health was getting worse and worse, and he was bedridden most of the time.

The more this is the case, the more he hates Hou Huizhu very much.

After falling ill again, Xue Feng directly demoted the eldest prince and the second princess born to Hou Huizhu to commoners and asked people to watch them.

At the same time, he urgently summoned the ministers and selected a few loyal ministers as auxiliary ministers so that he could assist the five princes in the future.

After another half a year, when Qin Yi took over the territory of the provinces that Cheng Yanluo had taken and began to live with the people, Xue Feng died with hatred.

When he died, he left a will, buried him and Cheng Yanran together, and hated that he would never see Hou Huizhu again, and Hou Huizhu could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum even if he died.

Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The new emperor was just a baby who didn't know anything, and all the important military and political affairs fell into the hands of the auxiliary ministers.

And these ministers seemed to be loyal when Xue Feng was alive, and as soon as Xue Feng was gone, the dragons were leaderless, and they began to fight for power and profit.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Cheng Yanluo led people to kill all the way until he entered Chang'an City, and the courtiers on the Northern Zhou side still couldn't react.

Entering Chang'an, Cheng Yanluo brought people into the palace to prevent the people and dogs in the Northern Zhou Dynasty from jumping over the wall and damaging the pearls and some important things in the palace.

Tie Zhu took people to the imperial tomb at the first moment he entered Chang'an City.

Cheng Yanluo understood Tie Zhu's thoughts, and he didn't stop him, but only asked him to bring more people, find Cheng Yanran's bones, and hurry back to Nanqi.

Cheng Yanluo led people into the palace.

She ordered someone to take care of all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and found the little emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, handed him over to his subordinates to take care of him, and arranged the strengths of the palace to be manned, and after the iron bucket of defense, Cheng Yanluo went to the cold palace.

Now Hou Huizhu is still locked up in the cold palace.

This woman wanted to harm her for two lifetimes, and Cheng Yanluo had to meet her for a while.

The cold palace is worthy of the name of the cold palace, it is really cold and cold.

The cold palace is in the northwest corner of the palace, it is the farthest palace from the Dangyang Palace, looking at it from a distance, it is dilapidated, and when it is close, you can see the collapsed houses, the dilapidated palace gates, and the palace walls covered with grass.

Cheng Yanluo glanced at it, asked someone to push open the palace door, and walked in.

She stepped into the courtyard full of wild grass step by step, looking at the silent palace courtyard, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a hint of a smile appeared.

Step by step to the room that had not collapsed, I smelled an indescribable stench when I entered the door.

Cheng Yanluo raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Hou Huizhu in a ball in the corner.

She had long since lost her earlier freshness and brightness, her whole person was dirty and she couldn't see her face, the clothes she was wearing were torn and dirty, her hair was tangled, and her whole body smelled like a stench.

"Your Majesty, it's not a concubine, the concubine doesn't want to harm Your Majesty, don't listen to that little slut's nonsense, she framed the concubine, she harmed Your Majesty, it's her."

Hou Huizhu shrunk into a ball, but kept talking to herself.

Cheng Yanluo smiled, and she took two steps forward: "You're right, Xue Feng was indeed harmed by Queen Yan." ”

"Who, who......"

Hou Huizhu raised his head violently.

When she saw Cheng Yanluo, she was startled at first, and then laughed again: "It's you, it's you, Cheng Qi Niang, I didn't expect it to be you, now you are proud, you are happy." ”

Cheng Yanluo flicked the dust on his sleeve: "Yes, now I am very proud, I am now the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and I will soon be the master of the whole world, but you are a complete loser and a prisoner of my ranks." ”

"The master of the world?"

Hou Huizhu was stunned for a long time, and seemed to think of something: "Haha, I know that you are not so kind, what saved the Son of Heaven, and what set up the Young Emperor is just a pretense, what you want is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, your wolf ambitions." ”

"Each other, each other." Cheng Yanluo smiled faintly: "Who doesn't think so?" It's just that I succeeded, and you failed. ”

"Haha......" Hou Huizhu laughed, she was embarrassed like this, and she was unwilling to admit defeat in front of Cheng Yanluo: "I am a failure, but what about you?" Do you dare to say that you succeeded? You are the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but I was still the queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty before, but isn't this queen abolished, what about you, when your husband becomes the lord of the world and the king of a country, what will he do with you? You say, will he not miss the old love, and will try his best to abolish you in the future, and throw him in the cold palace like me and don't look at it. ”

Cheng Yanluo was silent.

Hou Huizhu laughed even louder: "All men in this world are lucky, before, when Qin Yi used you, you were naturally the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and he naturally loved you as a husband and wife, but when he won the world, you became a stumbling block, and he naturally wanted to kick you away immediately, you think, Xue Feng didn't respond to my requests earlier, and he was deeply affectionate to me, but later, what about ...... In this world, the most fickle thing is people's hearts, Cheng Qi Niang, do you dare to say that your husband will not change his mind? Won't it be against you in the future? ”
