Chapter Ninety-Three: The Resentful Couple

Regarding the plot of Jing Rui's appearance like his biological father, the setting I considered is as follows: Da Chu Proton is in Liang, living in a certain side courtyard in the palace, and basically no outsiders are seen. Princess Liyang was not a good girl back then, and the personality of the former emperor was also more merciful than the current emperor, so she had the opportunity to meet Proton and develop a story. But few people outside Miyagi have seen this proton. More than 20 years have passed, and the old people are also a little scattered. So although Jing Rui grew up more and more like the proton of the year, there were not many people who found it, and secondly, most of these people were in Miyagi and knew what forbidden words were. Emperor Liang knew in his heart that there was no doubt about it, but when he found out, he already liked Jing Rui very much, and besides, it was his sister's child anyway, Xie Yu didn't say anything, what did he say? Someone wants to turn over this scandal, he still has to suppress it, of course he won't take any initiative to take any action against it, royal decency~~

Regarding the current situation of Proton Yu Wenlin in Dachu back then, my setting is like this: he has a gentle temperament (Jing Rui is like him), he is an idle prince who lives in a simple place, although his daughter is better with his cousin Yu Wenxuan, but he himself rarely interacts with the outside world, and is basically a shadow-like clan existence.

These settings will appear in future episodes, but because it is expected that many smart readers will ask: "Why didn't anyone find that Jing Rui looked like a prince of Da Chu?" "So reveal it beforehand.

In addition, there is no video material that can be recorded in the ancient context. Jing Rui is like his father, it is only like when he was young. A person who doesn't know the old things, even if he has seen Jing Rui and the big Chu prince who must have a fluttering beard and wrinkles at present, he is afraid that he will not connect them. Even if she was Niannian, if she hadn't stood face to face with Xiao Jingrui at that time, it might not have caused that surprising effect.

Some people may say that even if it is difficult for people to find the connection between the father and son because of the limited long-distance movement of people between countries in the ancient background, they look alike after all, and someone will find out sooner or later. This inference is correct. This article presents such a result, they were discovered by the people on Xiao Su's side, and their privacy was exposed~~

I don't think there should be anyone here who is dead like my cousin, so he chased me and asked, "Why did they find out first?" Why didn't anyone find out about Xiao Su before? "Tears run...... The plot is set up like this, I really want to grab her shoulder and ask back: "Chen Shimei has so many fellow villagers, why didn't anyone find out that he had a wife when Qin Xianglian didn't come to sue?" ”

It's a pity that she can't resist me like Xia Dong is to Xiaoyan......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” this is the dividing line that runs in tears againβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The shore of the artificial lake in front of the Linling Pavilion is curved, and the distance between it and the small pavilion where everyone is currently located is also inconsistent. Some places are planted with willows, and some places are only low flowers and plants, and when you look at it in the middle of the night, you can only feel that it is black or gray patches, and some shadows are moving in the middle, and people with a little less eyesight can't see what it is at all.

"It's the reinforcements that have arrived, they're running around......" Yan Yujin squinted hard, trying to see more clearly.

There was silence in the pavilion. After a long time, Meng Zhi coughed and said, "In my opinion, it looks more like ...... Xie Yu brought some bow and arrow equipment from the patrol battalion......"

Xia Dong twisted Yan Yujin's face, the latter wanted to hide, but because the pavilion was too narrow, there was nowhere to go.

"Ozu, I didn't even know you had night blindness? Isn't it nice to have good eyes during the day? The female mirror envoy sneered with her eyebrows raised.

"You have ......" Yan Yujin just wanted to fight back, but the sudden deepening pain on his face reminded him that this was Sister Xia Dong, and he couldn't resist, so he had to say aggrievedly, "I'm just a little bit worse at night, and I'm still far from night blindness." ”

"Xie Yu is almost exhausted, and it seems that he is under a lot of pressure outside the Hou Mansion. However, the trapped beast is still fighting, although there is some distance from the shore here, but in some places, if you set up a bow, the range is still enough, so don't be careless. Mei Changsu persuaded.

"Mr. Su, don't worry," Meng Zhi laughed loudly, "This is probably Xie Yu's final blow." This kind of distance is already a lot softer by here, the wounded and sick and the female dependents are behind, there are a few of us, and it is no problem to hold on for a moment and a half...... Uh, Lord Xia, where are you going? ”

"Didn't you let the ladies pull back?" Xia Dong flew over obliquely, "Am I not a lady?" ”

But though she said that, she was only joking, and then she stood up again, standing on the southeast side of the pavilion. Yan Jinyu muttered quietly, "It's not like a woman", and also stood in front. Soon the pavilion room was surrounded by two and a half fan-shaped, on the inside were Mei Changsu, who had no martial arts protection, and the Zhuo family, who was injured, and on the outside were Meng Zhi, Xia Dong, Yue Xiuze, Yan Yujin, Xiao Jingrui and Feiliu, Yu Wennian and Gong Yu also wanted to squeeze outside, but because they couldn't stand still, they were pushed back by the men. Xia Dong couldn't help but giggle and said, "You guys really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade......"

Before the words fell, the first wave of sharp arrows had already struck, and the momentum was more fierce and dense than estimated. The crossbowmen on the shore were also well-trained, and there were few gaps in the handover of the team, and the rain of arrows in the sky was round after round, and it seemed that there was no pause in the middle. Later, Yan Yujin, who was weaker in internal breath, was already sweating through brocade clothes, and he missed two arrows, but fortunately, Xiao Jingrui flashed a sword light on the side and rolled him, and pushed him to the back, and Gong Yu immediately snatched the weapon from his hand to fill the position.

Mei Changsu helped Yan Yujin to sit down beside him, and advised, "You quickly adjust your breath, transport it for two small weeks, and then sink into the dantian to condense, don't spread it out immediately, your physique is not strong congenitally, this fork is not well adjusted, and it will condense into injuries in the five intestines." ”

Yan Yujin closed his eyes according to his words, abandoned distracting thoughts and quietly leveled his breath, at first he was a little distracted, and then gradually concentrated, the noise of the outside world was blocked out of his ears, and he concentrated on running a warm breath, infiltrating the stiff body muscles and veins, and finally sinking into the dantian, eliminating the pain between the internal organs a little.

When he opened his eyes again after he finished pranayama, he couldn't help but be startled. Seeing that the attack of the rain of arrows around him had stopped, everyone looked solemnly at a certain direction on the shore, but when he followed to see, he couldn't see anything clearly, so he habitually pulled Xiao Jingrui's sleeve and asked, "Jingrui, what's wrong on the shore?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Jingrui's current mood was not normal, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at him, and sure enough, his face was as white as paper, and he was about to find a word to comfort, Xiao Jingrui suddenly shook off his hand, jumped into the lake, and quickly swam to the shore.

"Hey......" Yan Yujin didn't hold it back, and stomped his feet anxiously. Xia Dong sighed beside him and said, "Let's go over too." ”

As soon as she said this, Yu Wennian had already entered the water, chasing the water marks where Xiao Jingrui was swimming, and the rest of the people supported each other and took care of each other, and also swam to the other side in a group. Although the lake water in April is no longer cold, it is not warm after all, and the wet ground is blown by the wind, and it is cold all around. Meng Zhi frequently looked back at Mei Changsu, who knew his concern and whispered, "Okay, I took the medicine." ”

In fact, there are not too many people gathered on the shore of the lake at this time. The soldiers of Ning Guohou and King Yu were deadlocked with each other, and they all retreated far to the other side of the flower path. Xia Chun and Yan Que had indeed arrived, and the two of them had already arrived on the shore when everyone went into the water from the small pavilion. It's just that both of them are introverted, Xia Chun glanced at his junior sister and didn't say anything, Yan Que only asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Yan Yujin didn't care that his father's question was simple, not to mention that he had seen the situation on the shore clearly at this time, and his entire attention had been sucked over there.

On the side of the rockery by the lake, there is Xie Yu, whose face is iron and blue and his lips are pale, and his dark eyes are a little gray at the moment, and King Yu stands seven or eight steps away from him with his hands, although his expression is serious, and there are no laugh lines on his face, but somehow, he can't hide a sense of schadenfreude in his bones.

The current focus of these two people's eyes is in the same place.

In the middle of the meadow covered with night dew, the eldest princess of Liyang sat there, her high sideburns scattered over her shoulders, and her clothes a little wrinkled and disheveled. A long sword as cold as autumn water was held in her hand as white as a wax carving, dragging diagonally at her side. There were still some traces of excitement on the tear-stained face, the cheeks were flushed, the breath was slightly panting, and the green tendons in the neck were faintly visible. Xiao Jingrui sat beside her, supporting her mother's body, letting her head rest on her shoulder, slowly patting her vest with one hand, pinching her sleeve with the other, gently wiping her tear-soaked makeup, and muttering comfortingly: "Okay...... I am here...... All right...... It's going to be fine......"

He ...... What about them......" Princess Liyang asked softly with her eyes closed.

"Something hurts...... But they're all alive......"

The eldest princess bit her chapped lower lip tightly and breathed deeply, rapidly, but still did not open her eyes.

Xia Dong lowered his voice and asked his senior brother, "What's the matter?" ”

Xia Chun replied in the same tone: "When I received your signal and rushed over, I saw that His Royal Highness King Yu was outside the door, and later Yanhou also arrived. Xie Hou Ye said that it was just a small fire, and he kept blocking us from entering, and he was about to fight, but the eldest princess suddenly came out with a sword, suppressed the two sides without conflict, and brought us here...... What the hell happened tonight? How did it get like this? ”

"Alas...... It's inconvenient here, let's go back and talk to Brother Chun. Xia Dong thought of these people with very different fates tonight, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, shaking his head and sighing.

At this time, Mei Changsu found that Princess Liyang's hand holding the long sword suddenly tightened and strengthened, lifted it up, and hurriedly shouted: "Jing Rui! ”

Xiao Jingrui was slightly startled, immediately pressed his mother's hand, and said softly: "Mother...... I'll take this sword for you......"

The eldest princess of Liyang shook her head, as if she had finally regained some strength, straightened her body a little, and slowly raised her eyes: "Don't worry, the only one who will die through the ages is difficult, and my mother still has a lot of things to do...... ...... won't kill herself" She said as she helped Xiao Jingrui to stand up, took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, held her sword in her hand, and asked in a cold voice, "What about the little girl in Da Chu?" ”

Yuwen Nian didn't expect her to call herself, and she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "I, I'm here ......"

Princess Liyang cast her eyes on her face and looked at her fixedly for a long time: "Listen to Mama, you kowtowed to me three times?" ”

"Yes......"

"What does he mean by asking you to kowtow to me, does he want to take Jing Rui away from me?"

"I ......" Yu Wennian was young after all, and muttered, "The younger generation should have ...... too"

"Listen," Princess Liyang interrupted her coldly, "After he fled, I once said that we were in love with each other, and we have no regrets, since we can't resist the destiny of heaven, why complain." I can afford your kowtow, but Jing Rui is already an adult, where to go, he decides for himself, I don't allow anyone to force him. ”

Yuwen Nian was taken by her momentum for a while, and could only respond in a low voice: "Yes......" Before she left Chudu this time, her father had stayed awake all night to tell her about the princess of Liyang in her memory, peach blossom horse, pomegranate skirt, flying and sassy, and sex like fire. But after seeing the real person, she always felt very different from what her father described, and it was not until this moment that she vaguely felt some of her demeanor back then.

After these words, Princess Liyang obviously had completely stabilized her emotions, and her expression became more and more determined, and she slowly pushed away her son's support, took a step forward, and said quietly: "Jing Huan, come here." ”

King Yu was stunned, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to go over as he said, just gave a salute, called "Auntie", and a cold light flashed in front of him, and the tip of the Xue Liang sword pointed directly at his chest.

"Eldest princess......" Xia Chun was startled, and was about to step forward to block it, but Princess Liyang had already spoken: "Jing Huan, you came today to prepare to take away the Zhuo family, right?" ”

King Yu was still calm in the face of the sword in front of him, nodded and said: "Although Xie Yu is the imperial prince, the law of the country is above, and he is not allowed to be so evil, the Zhuo family ......"

"Needless to say, I naturally know what you're for." Princess Liyang said coldly, "I want you to promise me two things now, if you agree, the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, I can not speak, so as to save you a lot of trouble in the future." ”

King Yu weighed it for a moment, bowed down and said, "Auntie, please command." ”

"First, never tie up."

King Yu thought about it, except for Xie Yu, the Xie family has royal blood, and they are not people with real positions in the court, so it is not easy to connect, not to mention that Xie Yu is the most powerful arm of the prince, he has achieved his goal, and the rest does not matter, he immediately nodded and said very simply: "Okay." ”

"Second, be kind to the Zhuo family."

She mentioned this strangely, except for a few people who were expressionless, most of them were a little confused.

King Yu glanced at Zhuo Dingfeng's expression with the tail of his eyes, and was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he hurriedly confessed: "Zhuo's family is a human witness, and the first complaint is meritorious, and I will definitely be courteous." Oh, some forgiveness, and I'm responsible for asking Your Majesty for it. ”

"I don't mean now. I mean forever. Are you willing to swear in the name of the royal family, no matter whether the Zhuo family is still useful to you in the future, you must not take any adverse actions against them? ”

King Yu was now about to disturb Zhuo Dingfeng in an attempt to bring down Xie Yu, so he hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said: "This king respects the righteousness of Zhuo Zhuang, and it is not just to use him, if my aunt can't trust me, why not swear an oath?" This king swears by the blood of the royal family, and if there is a place to embarrass the Zhuo family in the future, people and gods will abandon it. ”

The sword in Princess Liyang's hand slowly fell, and then she turned around slowly, forcing herself to raise her eyes to face the Zhuo couple, her eyes were full of tears, and she tried her best to hold back, and said in a low voice: "I am a selfish person, for the sake of my children, I have hidden from you all these years, and I have no words to defend myself." But the little girl Qi'er is innocent, she has returned to Zhuomen, even though the two of them have no old feelings for my husband and wife, but for the sake of the child, treat her well. ”

The Zhuo family was silent for a moment, and finally Mrs. Zhuo came forward to answer: "The Zhuo family is from the rivers and lakes, and they only know that the grievances are clear, and they do not implicate the younger generations. Qi'er is the daughter-in-law of my Zhuo family, if she returns with her son, she will have the treatment she deserves, and she doesn't need to intercede with Princess Lao. ”

Princess Liyang bowed her head and bowed, tears fell into the grass, raised her sleeves to wipe them, looked around again, and said, "I have something to say to Xie Yu, would you like to wait a while?" ”

There was silence all around, as if they had acquiesced. Princess Liyang patted Xiao Jingrui's hand, left him in place, and walked slowly to Xie Yu's side, signaling him to follow her. The two turned to the other side of the rockery together, and after avoiding everyone's eyes, Princess Liyang looked directly into her husband's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Xie Yu, do you hate me?" ”

Xie Yu looked back at his wife, seemed to think about it seriously, and said, "If you don't come tonight, they will be able to rush in sooner or later." Besides, I did have the intention of killing everyone, so it's no wonder you can't trust me. ”

"I don't mean this ......"

"If I were referring to that year, I would think ......"

"I'm not even referring to the past. Even if I'm sorry for you about Jing Rui, but before that, are you worthy of me? ”

Xie Yu's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he didn't speak.

"You really never knew what I was thinking...... Princess Liyang sighed and shook her head and smiled bitterly, "What do I mean by asking...... One day husband and wife for 100 days, husband and wife should support each other, but tonight I protected my three children, protected the Zhuo family, and indirectly protected the person you intended to kill, but I didn't protect you. And you...... But it's obviously the person I should protect the most...... Don't you hate? ”

Xie Yu immediately shook his head, "If you refer to this, you don't have a hate. ”

"Why?"

"Because you can't protect it."

The eldest princess of Liyang nodded and said slowly: "Sure enough, that's the case." When I saw that you were so aggressive, risking your life to kill people, I guessed that what you committed was beyond the reach of me, the eldest princess. May I ask, what happens once you are convicted of a crime? ”

"People die and their names are destroyed. The hereditary knighthood of the Xie family is only afraid that it will be gone. ”

The eldest princess of Liyang stared at him and sighed lightly: "If things come to this point, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will know it, and the ancestors of the Xie family will know it, what will they think......

Xie Yu sneered: "Becoming a king and defeating a king has been reasonable since ancient times, how can the ancestors not know?" ”

"Haven't you thought about trying your best to keep the Xie family's lintel from dust?"

This time, Xie Yu quickly understood what she meant, his heart twisted, and he secretly clenched his teeth.

"The merits of the Xie family, the name of the past dynasties, how can it be ruined in one fell swoop?" The eldest princess of Liyang looked awe-inspiring, and handed the long sword in her hand to her husband, "There is only one thing I can do for you and for the Xie family." Since you have lost tonight and have no way to live, it is better to die simply so that you can not lose the pride of the Xie family. ”

Xie Yu's expression was blank, and he muttered, "As long as I die, can everything be calm?" ”

"At least, I'm not going to let it roll over to the lake. King Yu is just a political enemy, not an enemy, he just wants you to fall, not to pull out the entire Xie family. I will ask the emperor to ask him to allow me to become a monk and leave the capital with my children and return to Caiyi to live in seclusion. In this way, the king will not waste any more thoughts on us. Princess Liyang's expression was gloomy, and her eyes were desolate, "I can't protect your life, but at least I can protect your reputation." If you think you're lonely, then I'll come over to accompany you when I've settled the children, okay? ”

Her face was tilted slightly, and tears could be seen in the hazy moonlight, seeping down her stargazed sideburns and dripping to her ears. Xie Yu suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, kissed her ear, and whispered: "Liyang, no matter what you think, I really like you......"

Princess Liyang closed her eyes tightly, but she couldn't stop the tears that flowed. For more than 20 years, she had not once responded to her husband's warmth, but at this moment, she put her hands around his waist.

Unfortunately, after a short hug, Xie Yu slowly pushed her away, and also pushed away the long sword in her hand.

"Xie Yu ......"

"I'm sorry, Liyang," Xie Yu's face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see clearly, "I don't want to die yet, I haven't reached the point where I'm desperate...... Let the wind and waves that should be turned over the lake come up, and if you don't fight until the last moment, who knows what the victory will be? It's a big deal to lose cleanly, what about losing Xie's lintel? When a person dies, there is really nothing...... Even if I want to die, at the very least, I will let myself die willingly! ”

I was reminded today, and I suddenly found that my collection was so low that I vomited blood and rushed out~~~
