Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bloody Marriage (3)
At midnight, the wind rose, the leaves were swaying, and the death knell rang three times in the morning, knocking on Qingying Street in the east of the city, where the Houmen general's mansion gathered, and one of the most luxurious mansions sounded with the sound of the death knell.
- First Class General Zhaowei, Jade Spirit.
The shocking news broke through the market, the government and the opposition were shocked, a sudden assassination seriously injured the sons of the Jade King was already shocked, and they even took the brunt of the life of the most courageous sixth prince of the Jade family.
Before people could stop sighing from Yu Qi's death, bursts of bad news came out one after another.
In the early morning of the next day, the princess's mansion even entered the Tai Hospital, and within half an hour, the streets and alleys were rumored that the eldest princess of Qingyang was furious, and there were five famous doctors with a cane, and the wailing of the warblers in the house was endless.
Guess - the pony's life is short.
On the same day, a white paper lamp was hung at the gate of the Dadu Tongfu to guard the grief.
- Yuhan is seriously ill and afraid of incurable.
Then, the ordnance supervision envoy made the whole door of the palace - Yu Zhuan.
Scattered riding Chang Shifu Chen Ming - Jade Collection.
Zong Zhengqing's Mansion is both a night ceremony - jade yixue.
In a few days, most of the adult sons were killed and injured, Yuce was deeply hit, seriously ill, people from all sides were panicked, uneasy, and the rain in Xianyang Mountain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, all of which showed that the Yu family was in danger.
In the imperial city, the death and life of the queen prince are unknown, and the original Yifeng is drunk in Yulong Pavilion all day long, avoiding no one, and even the early dynasty is exempted. Many of the officials and emperors were rejected when they asked to see them, and they did not see the face of the sky for several days, and the people in the court were impetuous.
In the early morning of winter, the dripping water becomes ice, the temperature plummets this night, the wind is cold to the bone, the eaves on both sides of the road have ice crystal and sharp, the pedestrians who pass by are hurried, from time to time to cover their mouths with their hands to keep warm, the hot air is dispersed in the air and pours into white mist, it can be seen that the cold of this season, coupled with the depressive and tense atmosphere of Xianyang City these days, makes the long street of the imperial capital cold and bleak.
In the corner of the alley, a shabby boy in shabby clothes pulled a fat but light single coat to wrap his thin body, trying to keep the last trace of warmth in his body this winter.
A woman staggered over, her face was bitterly cold, her skin was yellow, the left half of her face was almost completely covered by a brown birthmark, and the right half of her face was covered with pockmarks, which was unbearable, she held half of the black and yellow steamed buns that I didn't know whether they were rancid or dirty and rushed to the boy's side, "Xiaowen, wake up quickly, my mother is back, my mother has found something to eat, you wake up quickly." ”
The little boy who was called "Xiaowen" did not open his eyes, and fell asleep, and the woman howled and cried when she saw this. Xu couldn't stand it anymore, and a few passers-by threw a few copper plates to pity the mother and son, but the money of the thin house was enough for these two mothers and sons to eat a bun for each person, which was enough to save lives?
It seemed that the sky was also moved, and the sound of cars and horses passed intermittently from the side of the street, but suddenly stopped at the intersection of this alley, and a small servant shouted over to open the crowd, and said to the woman: "Don't cry, my princess saw your mother and son begging here for several days, it was really pitiful, and she ordered me to take your mother and son into the house to ask for a living, and she didn't get up quickly." ”
The mother and son were very excited when they heard this, and thanked them again and again to express their gratitude, and the little maid asked if there was anyone else in the family, and the woman said that because her husband disliked her ugliness and abandoned their mother and son, there was only a deaf and dumb brother, and they could also be a miscellaneous servant together, and the little maid nodded and agreed to take the three of them into the house together.
The warm room, the cigarette smoke is like a fog and exudes the pastel gilt hollow carved smoker, and the precious agarwood is full of a room, which makes people smell it breathtakingly and express their feelings.
"How's the preparation?" There was a deep sound from behind the purple bamboo screen.
Someone sighed and replied: "I'm afraid that my strength alone is not enough, the prince must know that 'the skinny camel is bigger than the horse', the Yu family has held the power for many years, how can it be so easy to pull up, you and I must fight for strength in the army, otherwise with only the strength that can be obtained now, even if it is successful, I am afraid it will not be enough to stabilize the dynasty." ”
The person who asked the question was a little annoyed, "So what do we do now?" This king can't wait that long! ”
The young man sneered, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly."
"You want to rebel against Lan Sa? Who are you? The gloomy voice was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the door opening, the two people behind the screen stopped talking, and walked out quickly under alertness, and the little guy who entered the door with tea was so frightened by the angry person who walked out that he hurriedly knelt down, trembling and not daring to raise his head.
"Dog minion, who told you to come in without knocking!" The young man glared angrily at the little guy on the ground, and quietly stretched out his hand to the dagger in his wide sleeve, and the little guy trembled and lowered his head, and there was a hint of serenity in his uneasy eyes.
"It's okay, Ah Feng is a deaf and mute person." The older man stopped him, waved at the little guy named Ah Feng on the ground, and pulled the young man back to talk, "It is because he is deaf and dumb that I ordered him to come to the study to serve, rest assured, you and I continue." ”
"Yes, the prince should know that Lan Sa is still unmarried, I guess you don't know the reason, according to the minister, Yu Ce planned to take the one from Fengzao Palace and the Lan family as his sons and daughters, and the loss of beauty This Lan Sa is also a lover. Alone so far, the minister doesn't believe that he has no resentment at all if he repents of the Yu family's marriage, if we "
The voice in the study gradually subsided, and the person who walked out of the study gradually quickened his pace, bypassing the corridor behind the study, passing through the two corner doors, he came to the back garden and squatted under the flower stand, pretending to help a woman and child take care of the flowers and soil.
"Mother, there is a discovery."
The deaf and dumb little girl was Yue Qingfeng, and the mother and son who were kindly led back to the house by Princess Jinan on the street that day were Yu Zijin and Yuwen Jingyu.
Hearing Yue Qingfeng's words, Yuwen Jingyu hugged the small shovel and surrounded him, thinking that he was dignified and heroic Wang Shizi, Xiyuan Haoqing Marquis, and followed this woman here to pretend to be an undercover agent, these days he can suffocate him to death, he would have known that he would not have made a fuss to join in the fun, but he also felt that it was fun to pit Yue Zeluo's valuable and cold snow silk clothes to pretend to be a beggar!
Yu Zijin hoeed the wild grass under the plum tree, and listened carefully to Yue Qingfeng's words, her slender hands have always been white and beautiful, even if she is stained with mud at this moment, she has not lost a few points of white beauty, and her fingers have a few chilblains because of the cold wind for days, which makes people feel that those hands have added the beauty of toughness in addition to the woman's weakness.
Yuwen Jingyu stared at her seriously lowered eyes and hands gradually lost his mind, and he could be regarded as refreshing his understanding of this woman in the past few days. Obviously, she was pampered since she was a child, and she had never suffered hardships, but this woman did not listen to the persuasion of Nanhou and others, and insisted on coming to Jinan Wangfu as an undercover agent in danger. On this cold day, she squatted in this garden every day to hoe grass and protect flowers, without arrogance, even if she was tired, she never complained, and she did not have half of the squeamishness and weakness of a boudoir woman. Some subordinates were lazy and threw the job to her, she deliberately painted an ugly face and smiled faintly, supported her obviously tired and thin body and continued to finish the matter, and easily made his own Yuwen Jingyu raised his cheeks and thought: He may have met a fake queen!
Yu Ce not only gave her a good birth, raised her well, and cultivated her will well-he silently gave Yu Zijin a higher evaluation in his heart.
Yu Zijin didn't know those little Jiujiu in her son's heart, she frowned lightly when she heard Yue Qingfeng's words, she believed that her cousin would not betray her father, but listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that they already had a lot of power in their hands, Dongyuan's military power was in the hands of their father, how did they fight for it, and who was that young man?
Who betrayed the father?
After consulting with Nanhou that day, Yuzijin first pointed the spearhead of suspicion at King Jinan according to Yuce's intentions. Since the mastermind behind the scenes was chosen on the day of An Bingqian and Yu Mingzheng's wedding, there was obviously no intention to want these two people to become good things, plus the assassination of those Jianghu forces, there were not many relatives in the original clan who could have such financial resources and wanted to eradicate the Yu family.
King Jiang'an is short-tempered but upright, King Lingxi is simple-minded and weak, he will not have these ruthless methods, and the biggest suspect is the King of Jinan, who is extremely deep in the city and ruthless.
The Yu family has been entrenched in the government and the opposition for many years, and it is not difficult to investigate this matter thoroughly, but many actions will inevitably startle the grass and snakes, and it is difficult to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Yu Zijin can feel that there are not a few people involved behind this matter, and he is blatantly afraid that he may not be able to uproot these masterminds behind the scenes, since those people want to kill her mother and son, and slaughter her father and brother, they can't leave a legacy behind, according to his father's words: It will be eliminated in one fell swoop!
"Do you see what the man looks like?" A few flower farmers went to a corner outside the garden to rest, and Yu Zijin saw that there were no outsiders and raised his voice slightly.
Yue Qingfeng secretly blamed himself for not listening to his uncle's words on weekdays and making friends with people, but now he couldn't even recognize a person at a critical moment, and tried to think: "That person is about thirty years old, his martial arts are not low, he should be a person in the military camp, and" Scratching his head, he suddenly said: "There is a black mole on the left side of his chin." ”
Yu Zijin suddenly stopped hoeing and looked at Yue Qingfeng in a daze, "Black mole? ”
"Yes, it's about the size of a red bean, and the minister is not mistaken." Yue Qingfeng affirmed, and asked, "Does Niangniang know that person?" ”
Yu Zijin sneered, "Yes." ”
"Who is it?" Yue Qing was overjoyed.
"Gao Changjun."
On the sixth day of the first month, Yu Qi went out of the funeral.
In the solemn mourning hall, the black lacquered nanmu coffin was in the middle, and Yu Qi was lying in the middle without rest, and his face was so white that it was almost transparent and oozing abnormal blue-black, and anyone could see that he had been poisoned and died for a long time. On the side, Su Li was dressed in filial piety like snow, describing pathos, her delicate body was like a falling flower in the wind, and she was weak and weak, and before several lieutenants walked into the mourning hall, she screamed in pain and pounced on the coffin that the guards were about to seal.
Seeing this, several lieutenants stepped forward to persuade him, "The general and Mrs. Plaice have a deep relationship, and they will not want to leave their wife early, but what is the will of God!" ”
Su Li only touched the coffin and cried bitterly, touched the slightly stiff lower abdomen with one hand and choked up: "How can the general bear me like this, you and I have been married for a long time, and the child in the womb has not yet been born, so the general gave up my mother and son and the young sisters in this house." You have been fighting all your life, and you have not waited for a child to come into the world and left early, and in the future, you can teach me how to live for orphans and widows? Before the words fell, Su Li had already burst into tears, and the words were heart-wrenching, and Jiaojiao knelt beside her with a big belly and a few concubines, and she also cried so much that the entire general's mansion was sad.
Several lieutenant generals couldn't help but cry when they heard this, and one of them said with relief: "Madame cherishes, I am loyal to the Jade King, loyal to the general, he will wait for the general's heir to come to the world, and we will also do my best to assist him, and the son will definitely become the general's will one day, and he will be famous all over the world with a smile." ”
