Chapter 391: Hostage Exchange
"Princess Wei?"
Looking at the way King Wei behind her always held and protected her, Yelumeng's heart was as bitter as Coptis chinensis.
"She's married...... Already married! But you are better to live than to die for her. He began to talk to himself stupidly.
Zhao Ting saw her repeatedly talking crazy things, afraid of making Yun Moxi sad when he remembered the past, so he said: "Let's go out, she also needs to calm down by herself." ”
Yun Moxi nodded, and the two turned around and were about to go out.
But Yelumeng suddenly sat up and shouted, "Don't go! Do you know how sad it is for you to fake his death? How many people did he kill for you? ”
Sighing, "That's his own choice!" ”
"He has to stay in the ice cellar almost all year round for the sake of your poison. Even when he wasn't in the ice cellar, he stayed in the Hanxiang Pavilion, lying on the bed you once lay on, and he always held the bead hairpin that was taken from your corpse in his hand. ”
As he spoke, he took out a bead hairpin from his arms, which was exactly what Yun Moxi had been wearing back then, and finally put it on the corpse.
"I watched this pearl hairpin all day long in a daze and had no intention of going to government, and if I had a little disobedience, I would kill on a large scale." Said sadly, "Seeing that he felt uncomfortable like that, Bengong sent someone to steal it while he was bathing. When he found it, he said that the pearl hairpin had been destroyed, but he didn't expect to be furious and threw the palace into a cold palace with serious injuries. And the implicated palace people killed dozens of people with rods...... It's all because you're ......."
Yun Mo stood dumbfounded, not wanting to hear this.
If I could rather he be the same person he used to be, the evil man who defies everything, is full of ambition and ambition.
Why can't he live the life he wants, why should he change because of himself, so it is painful for him, and it is also painful for Yun Moxi.
Although there is no love for him anymore, it is impossible to forget the beauty and sadness of the past.
Everything in the past is a mark on each other, and even if you want to forget it, you can't completely erase it. But since it was the past, why couldn't he let it all pass?
Seeing the old acquaintances revisiting the old things, it still touched the deepest pain in my heart, where there were Ligu, Riqi, and many Yun family members who had passed away.
I only felt a little dizzy and unsteady on my feet.
A strong arm embraced her and brought her into a warm embrace.
"You don't have to listen to this, let's go out!" Zhao Ting said softly in her ear.
"No!" She closed her eyes and shook her head, "Let her finish...... Maybe she'll feel better. ”
Looking at their intimate appearance, Yelumeng sneered: "Comfortable? You're happy to marry another man, but what about him? Wander alone in the palace every night, go where you've been, do what you've done. When your fake corpse was sent to the palace, he held this pearl hairpin and vomited blood and fainted, and his head turned white overnight. ”
Touching his face, he smiled sadly, "He beat and scolded me to live in the cold palace, even if he wants to kill me, it won't make me sad." But watching him torture himself, his body can't drink, but he gets drunk all day long. His heart is dead, and my heart is slowly dying. You're still as beautiful as a flower, and I'm ......" looked down at the hair that was scattered around his body, and there were already traces of silver hair mixed in.
"Everything is just his obsession, and if he wants to gain too much, he will lose the most." Yun Moxi said, "His ambition should have been to be a ruthless and desperate person, but he coveted too much, so much so that he hurt himself and others." ”
He stepped forward and looked at Yelumeng.
Said sincerely: "When he killed the Yun family to rob the armory, and when he married you, he should have known that he would lose me, but he would rather believe in himself." There's a lot to pay for in this world. And I can't lose myself because of love. Nor can we let go of responsibility because of love. We have all been obsessed, but if we are too obsessed, we will only suffer ourselves, and I hope you can live a good life for yourself. ”
Yelumeng stared at him with empty eyes, "For herself? From the first time I saw him, I didn't feel like myself. Being able to marry him is the happiest thing in this life. He hasn't even touched his hand in all these years, even if he's never looked at me squarely. But...... I still feel that being able to live for him and die for him is the greatest happiness in this life. The more he spoke, the firmer he became.
Yun Moxi had to sigh, "Since you are here, take a good rest, we will not hurt you." I have already sent a letter to Empress Dowager Xiao, maybe she will come to pick you up in two days. ”
"Queen Mother...... Will she come? Her expression darkened, and the queen mother was also another pain in her heart.
When the two of them looked at her, they walked out of the house without further ado.
"Will Xiao Sui compromise?" Yun Moxi asked, he was really not sure about Xiao Xuan, this woman was not simple, and she would not give up her interests simply for the sake of family affection.
"There is a half chance that if she agrees to withdraw from the army, it may not all be for Yelumeng, but also because Yi Xiechen is too disobedient."
"Her ambitions and methods are more ruthless than men, and the authority of the Liao State has been firmly held in her hands. Even without the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao State will definitely be the biggest rival of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”
Untied his cloak and draped it over her, "Yueqi has already set off, and there will be news in two days at the latest." You're tired all day, go back and rest! ”
Yun Moxi nodded, and the two hugged each other and walked inside.
Two days later, Zhao Ting and Yun Moxi stood in the agreed forest and waited, Yun Yueqi had already sent news that Xiao Xuan would send someone to negotiate.
A few horses galloped in.
Yun Yueqi jumped down first, stepped forward and hugged his fists, "The subordinate is back." ”
"How?" Zhao Ting asked.
"The envoy of the Liao State will arrive later, and his subordinates will come back first to report when they receive the news."
I waited two more hours, and it was the appointed hour.
Sure enough, I saw a group of people and horses in the distance, and the knights on the horses were wearing the clothes of the Liao State guards, carrying a snowy scimitar in their waists, and they were in a neat formation, escorting a carriage in the middle without hurry.
When they got near, two maids got out of the carriage, drew up the curtains, and a man stepped down from it.
raised his head, his delicate face didn't seem to have changed much from back then, and he looked at the two with a smile.
Xiao Xuan - Empress Xiao back then, is now the empress dowager of Liao and has become the real ruler of Liao.
Zhao Ting and Yun Moxi glanced at each other.
"I didn't expect Empress Dowager Xiao to come in person, but it surprised the king!" Zhao Ting said.
"The King of Wei ventured thousands of miles to come, and he was warmly invited, of course the mourning family should come in person." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
Turning to Yun Moxi, a cold light flashed in Feng's eyes, "It's just that the mourning family didn't expect to see you." ”
"Looks like we've all surprised each other!" Yun Moxi said lightly.
"Indeed...... Surprise! The mourning family heard that you are dead, why did you come back to life? "Not without sarcasm.
Zhao Ting was a little displeased, and said loudly: "She is now Princess Wei, the wife of this king!" ”
"Princess Wei? Sure enough!" Xiao Xuanjiao smiled.
