Chapter Thirty-Six: Zhaoming Falls to the Homeland
As soon as the mother and son entered the bedroom of Lian Shen in the Incense Soul Courtyard, they saw the boring Scarlet Rain standing still, where is that numb appearance, where is it still like the moist woman who is always smiling, Lian Shen is afraid
Next to the bed, the original leaning wind has sadness, and the jade-colored silver dragon Izumo cloak sits quietly and quietly, like Si Ronghua like the light of the morning glow to stay in the sky, looking at the warmth. Seeing Yu Zijin's arrival, he showed a wry smile, "Why are you here?" ”
Glancing at Lian Ember who was half-asleep on the bed, Yu Zijin sat on the square stool beside him, "What's going on?" Who poisoned it? ”
"Gongxi Ruihe." Without waiting for Yuan Yifeng to answer, Yuwen Jingyu replied.
Yu Zijin was puzzled, these two people have no grievances and no hatred, how could Gongxi Ruihe kill the killer?
Yuwen Jingyu looked at Lian Ash, who happened to wake up, and opened his collar to see a black mole the size of a grain of rice growing on the side of his neck.
"No wonder he has been dormant these days, it turns out that he is actually trying to get rid of you so that he can master Wanshao."
Wanshao is a small border country, and it is difficult to resist by relying on insufficient troops to defend against foreign enemies, so the rulers of the past dynasties have made excellent weapons, such as gunpowder and hidden weapons, and there are more than 100 kinds of unique secret weapons that are not passed on, and such hidden weapons are usually quenched with poison. Wanshao is located in the southwest border, many deep mountains and old forests, there are large areas of poison, and the Chinese people's drug-making skills are extremely high, which plays a great role in defending against invasion.
The ember is injured by a hidden weapon called "neck needle", the poison quenched is the juice of the tailless grass, the needle enters the blood veins of the neck, the poison instantly invades the internal organs, this poison is even more colorless and tasteless, only makes people feel weak and sleepy, and will not let people see what poisoning phenomenon, and it is too late to realize that they are physically and mentally exhausted.
Lian Shen smiled miserably, "What can Wan Shao do if he has it in his hands?" It's just to give him a place to live for the lost dog, I'm afraid that if you give him another ten Wanshao, he won't be your father's opponent. It's hard for him to get rid of me, a person who has already run out of oil, and to pay for this poisonous and precious tailless grass. ”
A sharp cough brought out a mouthful of blood, and Fang Yi and another attendant hurriedly wiped the blood for Lian Shen and changed his clothes.
Scarlet Rain's eyes are scattered and her limbs are like wood, Yu Zijin wants to comfort but doesn't know how to speak, such a transparent person can't understand anything, I'm afraid that Lian Ember is already a place where flesh and blood are implanted in her heart, and it is useless for her to say more.
The strength of holding his left hand deepened, Yu Zijin frowned at Yuan Yifeng, whose face was getting worse and worse, he followed his gaze, at this time, Fang Yi and the others had already changed into a clean undershirt for Lian Yan, and before the clothes were tied, a large chest was exposed, and the lotus-shaped blood-colored mark on the heart just came into view.
After looking at it for a long time, Yu Zijin put his surprised gaze back on Yuan Yifeng.
How could there be the red lotus imprint on the chest of the descendants of the Yuan clan, which was the most respected by the bloodline?
Is he a member of the original royal family?
"No!" Yuan Yifeng rushed to the side of the bed like a frenzy, he stared at the red lotus and looked at it again, his eyes were full of pain and grabbed the corner of the clothes of the person who was almost out of oil, "Who are you?" Who are you? ”
Ember smiled, didn't answer his question, and just looked feebly at the plum blossoms outside the window.
Yuan Yifeng was also attracted by the plum blossom, he shook his head in disbelief, and it took a long time to dare to believe his guess, "Why?" Why do you want to be so bad? Is revenge so important? Since you've already left here, why bother to come back in this way? You may be at ease in the sky like the imperial aunt? ”
Trying to support his heavy eyes, Lian Ember smiled easily, obviously he had become like this, but his smile still made people feel at ease, "This country is not reassuring, otherwise how could I sacrifice you and bury him, I am still breathing just to avenge him, but fortunately, those who harmed him are dead." ”
Hearing Yuan Yifeng mention "Imperial Aunt", Yu Zijin also couldn't believe her inner thoughts, and when she saw Yuwen Jingyu's eyes that were also unbelievable, her heart trembled.
He is actually the prince of Zhaoyang?
the three-year-old Zhaoyang prince who can write and poetry at the age of five, and has few talents; The prince of Zhaoyang, who was known as a virtuous name and had a big heart, but unfortunately died in the fire in the palace change; the prince of Zhaoyang, who should have inherited the great cause and supported the society; The prince Zhaoyang, who made the world regret that if he was in power, there would be no queen mother, and he could even help the original family to fall into the general
But how can Prince Zhaoyang be an ember?
Empress Dowager Ling is his mother-killing enemy, the enemy who seized the throne, or the culprit who destroyed his foreign family, the Nalan family, but he lived in the inner palace and served the Empress Dowager Ling and her son Emperor Renming for more than ten years, and the friendship with Emperor Renming was extraordinary, did he do all this just for revenge?
In order to take revenge, the prince can grovel to his enemies for more than ten years? In order to take revenge, can he put down his former noble status and commit to the inner palace to live in the humblest capacity? Do you have to be a chamberlain for revenge?
Not only Yuwen Jingyu didn't understand, but even Yu Zijin didn't understand what kind of tragic experience and tenacious heart he had that made him sacrifice himself like this. How many people in this world can be so cruel and decisive to themselves?
Outside the house, the plum shadow is beautiful, red and snowy, what Yu Zijin remembered when he first saw Lian Ember, the palace change that year undoubtedly happened here. Queen Nalan and the ladies of Nalan Mansion all died here.
Holding Lian Yan's hands tightly, Yuan Yifeng's eyes were red, "Do you hate the Yuan clan so much, and hate this country so much?" So if you want it to sink, you just leave it alone, why do you want to come back and help me? If you don't come out of the world, you won't let Gongxi Ruihe take advantage of the loophole. ”
"I want to help you only, if it weren't for Uncle Qinghe Emperor back then, I wouldn't have escaped from Shangjing with my life, and I wouldn't have returned to the palace, let alone intersect with the snow civet again. Leaning on the wind, you are very much like him, your demeanor will always exist, but the wind and clouds are less, how can I see you follow in his footsteps again? "Even though no one believed that he would come back in this way, he still came back to take revenge, didn't he? Prince Zhaoyang is him, even Ember is him, he is destined to be born high, because of what he loses, of course, he can also throw himself into the quagmire!
At the mention of the snow-like man, Yuan Yifeng choked up, and seemed to see his cousin's death in front of him.
Exhaling deeply, Lian Shen seemed to have exhausted all his strength, as if he had accepted his fate, and his quiet eyes looked at the person who was still wooden, he stretched out a hand with difficulty, and smiled gently, "Xiaoyu".
The tip of Scarlet Rain's nose trembled, her godless eyes radiated brightness, and then flowed out of turbulent waves, and the emotions that had been pent up for many years were triggered by this gentle whisper, even though there was a blood feud hidden in her heart all these years, she had not expressed her sadness so much at such a moment.
"Cousin!"
With a cry of affection, she threw herself to the edge of the bed. Twenty-five years, she hadn't called him that in twenty-five years. Over the years, in order to take revenge, in order to survive, they have covered up their original appearance, and lived in this place where they did not see the light of day everywhere, from Shangjing to Xianyang, from Cunxue Pavilion to Xianghun Yuan, she was so tired and tired, she knew that he was also so tired and tired, but some people's fate was really doomed from birth, they also wanted to live an easy life, find a paradise to become their own son, and live the most ordinary life, but with so many people's blood and hatred, the world is so big that there is no place where they can stay in peace.
"Don't cry" Lian Ember used his last strength to wipe the tears that welled up in his beautiful amber eyes little by little, these eyes were so beautiful, but he couldn't see them again after tonight. She should have been his wife, she should have been the most noble lady in the Guogong Mansion, and even the queen of Wanshao today, but she was born with him and carried a blood feud, and the two of them have been dependent on each other step by step over the years, although he has protected her thoroughly, but he owes her a lifetime of happiness.
Scarlet Yu bit her lip, tears kept dripping, grabbed the hand that wiped her tears, and looked at the affectionate gaze cast at her by those black eyes, the water color was hazy, as if she had poured out her life's tenderness.
"Don't die, don't die, okay? You said you would always be with me. ”
Lian Ember sighed weakly, and looked at a few plum shadows outside the half-transparent screen window, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise this time." ”
A gust of wind blew open the windows, and the cold air flew into the house with snowflakes, and there were a few spots of red with a dark fragrance.
Lian Ember twisted a little red plum on his chest, "You see, it's the queen mother who is coming to take me away, and after all these years, I have forgotten what she looks like." The starlight in the black pupils gradually dimmed, and there was a feeling that the candle flame was gradually extinguished.
"No!" Scarlet Rain and Yuan Yifeng were shocked.
Just as the light faded away, a small figure suddenly leaned on the side of the bed and stuffed a pill into Ember's mouth.
Everyone looked at Yuwen Jingyu in confusion, and Yu Zijin asked, "What did you give him?" ”
Shaking the jade bottle in his hand, Yuwen Jingyu simply poured another one and stuffed it for Lian Shen, "Life Continuation Pill, the dying person can save his life for three months, but he has already had heart failure, even if he is not poisoned by the tail grass, he is only afraid that it will be difficult to enjoy eternal life, and see how it works." ”
Scarlet Yu was overjoyed when she heard this, and said excitedly: "Thank you, little marquis." ”
Yuwen Jingyu shook his head, his little face was very serious, "You have taken care of Ben Hou with all your heart these days, and even the chief manager has taught me a lot of things, Ben Hou can't die without help, as for whether he can last three months, this Ben Hou can't guarantee it." "If anyone in this world makes him truly admire, except for his father and the Jade King, I'm afraid there will only be Lian Ash, these days in the Xianghun Courtyard Lian Ash's talent completely conquered him, besides, a man has such a forbearance in order to avenge the deep revenge, anyone will be moved, when the palace changed, Lian Ash's age was as old as him, and in the same situation, he didn't think he would have that courage.
Fang Yi slowly moved the bronze bottle next to the table, and in an instant, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall automatically hung up, and a secret door automatically popped open from the wall.
Yuan Yifeng said to Lian Shen, who opened his eyes weakly: "When I traveled to the rivers and lakes back then, I was fortunate to meet some capable friends, this is the secret passage I asked them to dig a few days ago, take the scarlet rain and go, and live the life you want to live." "Even if it's only three months, it's good.
