Chapter 759: Piercing
"What, does my brother know that Su Baiya too?"
Seeing Yan Liqiang's strange face, Concubine Duan asked.
Yan Liqiang's face suddenly returned to normal, "Well, I've heard that Lord Sun told me about this person at the beginning, saying that His Majesty the Emperor trusted him very much, and they all said that this Su Baiya has the ability to reach the sky, and he has a great reputation for knowing astronomy and geography, but he didn't expect to be blinded by Sister Rui, maybe he was joking at that time......"
"This Su Baiya is really empty and white-toothed, he will talk nonsense, he said that to His Majesty back then, it affected Sister Rui's life!" Concubine Duan said fiercely, "Fortunately, he died early, if he didn't die, if I saw him, I would have to smoke him dozens of big mouths!"
"Sister Duan and Sister Yi, how did you enter the palace?"
"Sister Yi is a native of Huizhou, when she was a draft girl in Huizhou, she chose Sister Yi to the palace, as for me, the original family was also the home of the eunuch, living in the imperial capital, I am also the same as Sister Yi, I am also the draft girl into the palace, but five years earlier than Sister Yi!"
"Then I don't know who else is in my sister's family?"
"My father said to me a few years ago that he has been in the imperial capital for most of his life, the world is so big, he has not seen too many places, he wants to walk around more in his lifetime, and he will be at peace with the encounter in the future, he wants to live the same days as idle clouds and wild cranes, and it is not in vain to go through the world in this life, so after resigning, he has traveled all over the world, I have not seen my father again for almost eight years, but I received a letter from him in the palace three years ago, saying that he is in Fuzhou, and wants to go out on a boat to see the sea, let me not worry about ......" Concubine Rui's tone was full of nostalgia, and she sighed faintly, "I hope he's okay now!"
"Sister Rui don't worry, my uncle is proficient in medical skills, he can cure diseases and save people, even if he travels all over the world, he is respected wherever he goes, and he is a guest of honor!" Yan Liqiang comforted.
Concubine Rui smiled, "I hope so!"
"Is there anyone else in Sister Duan's family?"
Concubine Duan sighed, "My parents have long passed away, and there are still two brothers in the family, but those two brothers are not in the imperial capital, they have returned to their hometown in Luzhou a few years ago, they have started their own families, and they have children, only occasionally there are correspondence, Sister Yi's family is all there, but since she entered the palace these years, Sister Yi has only had to be allowed by His Majesty to go home once, Sister Yi, I think the last time you went home seemed to be four years ago!"
"It's rare for my sister to remember that it was four years ago, and all these years I dreamed of going home again to see my parents, but I never got my wish!" Thinking of her family, even the cheerful Concubine Yi became melancholy and sighed.
"Huizhou is adjacent to Jinzhou, if Sister Yi wants to go home, when we arrive in Jinzhou this time, we can naturally go to the house to have a look!" Yan Liqiang said.
Concubine Yi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Where is there such an easy thing, without His Majesty's permission, where can the harem concubines go home without permission, this is a felony......"
"Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown now, life and death are unknown, if something happens to Your Majesty, what will happen to the sisters?"
"According to the rules of the Han Empire, if you are in the palace, after Your Majesty returns to heaven, the three of us sisters will either enter the cold palace and die alone, or we can only go to the royal temple to become a monk, and we will not see outsiders until we die!"
Yan Liqiang gasped, "This ...... Isn't it too cruel!"
"Cruel? how can this be considered cruel, and there are even more ruthless!" Concubine Yi also opened her mouth, and there was a hint of fear in her voice. If the queen mother in the palace is ruthless, after His Majesty returns to heaven, she will force the concubines who have no heirs to cut their faces with scissors and disfigure, and they have to make themselves like ghosts before they give up, many concubines can't accept it, so they can only commit suicide after His Majesty returns to heaven, this is the case in the palace in previous years, when I just entered the palace, I accidentally strayed into a cold palace, and in the cold palace, there lived a few old women who disfigured their appearance, the atmosphere of the cold palace, eerie and terrifying, the cold air seeped into the bones, I could be scared to wake up in my dreams......"
Concubine Duan sighed, with a sad look on her face, "Everyone thinks that a woman can be prosperous and rich when she enters the palace, but I don't know how many glory and wealth there are in this palace, how many widows and widows are lonely, how much gold and brilliance, and how many blood and tears, where do outsiders know the suffering!"
"And now?" Yan Liqiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to ask, "If the news of His Majesty's unfortunate death comes now, what will happen to the sisters?"
The three women glanced at each other, were silent for a moment, and finally Concubine Duan spoke, "If the news of His Majesty's death comes, the three of us may have to be forced to find an ancient temple in the deep mountains, and we will be forced to find an ancient temple in the mountains, and we will die of old age and no outsiders, these days on the road, in fact, the three of us sisters are most afraid of hearing this news, we are afraid that as soon as we arrive in Jinzhou, as soon as this news comes, the three of us sisters can only be placed under house arrest, and finally forced to be disfigured and become a monk!" Speaking of this, there was a hint of resoluteness in Concubine Duan's tone and eyes, "I have already made up my mind on the road, if it really comes to such a day, even if I die, I don't want to live such a day!"
"Me too!" Concubine Yi nodded as well.
Concubine Rui shook her head and sighed faintly.
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became bleak, but Concubine Duan quickly turned her emotions around, and patted Yan Liqiang's hand with a smile, "It's all your fault, Sister Rui and Sister Yi were quite happy, but as soon as you asked this question, it made everyone feel miserable all of a sudden, and almost made me feel bad, why did you ask all this kind of question today, just called our sister, can't you say something happy?"
Yan Liqiang pondered for a moment, and his face suddenly became serious, "There is one thing, I have never told others, and today is the first time I have told the three sisters, the three sisters listened, don't tell others!"
When the three women heard Yan Liqiang say this, they all nodded, and then the six beautiful big eyes all stared at Yan Liqiang curiously.
"Brother, what do you want to say, is it also related to the three of us?" asked Concubine Rui.
Yan Liqiang nodded, and his voice suddenly deepened, "On the night of the great change in the imperial capital that day, I was outside the imperial capital, and I had seen His Majesty the Emperor from afar, and His Majesty also escaped from the imperial capital that night, but His Majesty's condition was very bad, he seemed to be injured, and he was also chased and killed by the top masters of the White Lotus Sect...... There is absolutely no way to escape the man's pursuit, now...... I'm afraid I'm already dead!"
"Ah......" The three women's faces changed miserably, and the needles in the wooden house could be heard all of a sudden, and only the crackling sound of the firewood burning could be heard.
In the same way, if others say it, the three women will still doubt it, but when Yan Liqiang says it, they are convinced that they are with Yan Liqiang these days, they already know Yan Liqiang's personality and ability, and they know that Yan Liqiang will never say such things easily.
After a while, Concubine Rui, who was a little calmer and pale, asked, "Why did Brother Liqiang tell us this today?"
"The reason why I told the three sisters is that I hope the three sisters can prepare early!"
"Prepare, what to prepare, is it possible that brother, are you going to force us to leave the house after disfiguring the three of us?" Concubine Duan looked at Yan Liqiang with a grudge, "Sister, you don't look like such a ruthless person!"
"If I had that kind of thought, I wouldn't have told the three sisters about this!" Yan Liqiang shook his head, "The reason why I asked the three sisters those questions just now was to see if I could help the three sisters get through this hurdle!"
"Brother, how do you want to help us?" Concubine Yi's beautiful eyes were firmly fixed on Yan Liqiang's face.
"As long as the three sisters believe me, this matter is actually not difficult, if the three sisters want to reunite with their families, after arriving in Jinju, before the news of His Majesty comes, I will think of a way to let the three sisters Jin Cicada get out of their shells and regain their freedom!"
"If we return home now, it will only bring trouble to our family, where can we reunite!" Concubine Duan shook her head, and tears fell again, "It's just that the world is so big, and there are disturbances everywhere, even if we can leave Jinju, where is the place for our three weak women, I'm afraid that if something happens, we will fall into the mouth of the tiger and wolf, and life is better than death!"
Hearing Concubine Duan say this, thinking of the possible tragic situation in the future, the other two women also cried.
Concubine Yi is like a rain pear flower, "Sister Duan is right, after leaving Jinzhou, I don't know where I can go, although I miss my parents at home, but I just want to see each other, if we return home, I'm afraid it can only bring disaster to the family!"
In his last life, Yan Liqiang couldn't see a woman shed tears, as soon as a woman shed tears, he softened his heart, and the same is true in this life, seeing the three women crying, Yan Liqiang didn't know how, there was an impulse in his heart, and he blurted out a sentence, "In this case, then after arriving in Jinzhou, the three sisters will go back to the northwest with me......"
The tears of the three women stopped all of a sudden, and the six pink eyes looked at Yan Liqiang's body at once, and their eyes were shining.
The tears of Concubine Rui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Duan did not flow anymore, but instead, a pretty blush suddenly climbed onto the cheeks of the three of them.
"Brother, what you said is true, would you like to take us back to the northwest together?" Concubine Duan's eyes were shining, and she asked softly.
How many thousands of people have been saved, is it possible that he can't save the three poor women, anyway, the words have already been said, Yan Liqiang just urged his heart, "Yes, when I get to Jinzhou, I will take my three sisters back to the northwest together?"
"What about after returning to the northwest?" Concubine Duan asked reluctantly, the expression on her face was pitiful, "Sister Rui has medical skills, and she can also open a medical clinic to make money to support herself, but Concubine Yi and I don't know anything, we have to be served by someone, and we didn't bring out a little savings in the palace, we went to the northwest, how can we live, is it possible that you don't support us, brother?"
Listening to Concubine Duan's question, Concubine Rui and Concubine Yi were already flushed.
Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, "Well, I'll raise you!"
"Then brother, why are you so good to the three of us sisters?" Concubine Duan still looked at Yan Liqiang pitifully with a pair of innocent big eyes, "If you turn your head and don't admit it when you get to the northwest, and our sisters are not familiar with the place where they are born, what if it is good?"
Yan Liqiang didn't answer, because he knew that even if he answered this question, Concubine Duan would still have the next question to ask, manly man, what is there to coax at this time, twist and pinch to hide something, why not just stab this layer of window paper directly.
Yan Liqiang stood up suddenly, and in front of Concubine Rui and Concubine Yi, he suddenly picked up Concubine Duan, hugged Concubine Duan's waist, let Concubine Duan lean back, and kissed Concubine Duan's lips heavily, a deep kiss for half a minute, kissed Concubine Duan fascinated, and then separated.
Seeing that Concubine Duan was panting by Yan Liqiang's kiss, the whole person was about to soften, Concubine Rui had already closed her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at Yan Liqiang, as soon as Yan Liqiang and Concubine Duan separated, Concubine Rui, who was flushed, quickly stood up, lowered her head, and her voice trembled, "You guys...... You drink the ginger soup first, and I'll ...... I'll go...... Washing fruit ......"
Yan Liqiang pulled Concubine Rui over, and then kissed her heavily......
