Chapter 305: The Dust Settles (2)
The first thing Shaohua did after waking up was to catch someone to interrogate, and after asking several people without knowing what to do, Shaohua ignored their obstruction and went straight to Taoyuan to find Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan saw that her face was pale, but her eyes were bright, and she hurriedly ran over to help her. As soon as Shaohua climbed Zhou Yan's hand, she immediately asked them what they said in her room, originally Zhou Yan wanted to be vague, but in the face of Shaohua's aggressive questioning, Zhou Yan had to raise her hand and surrender.
Holding a cup of hot tea in Shaohua's hand, Fei watched her drink a few sips, and her face gradually recovered its blood, Zhou Yan said: "The news from the palace that Mrs. Yan is dead, I didn't say anything, but there is humanity to commit suicide by taking poison." Shaohua's hand shook and almost dropped the cup, but fortunately, Zhou Yan's eyes were quick to catch it, and seeing that her little face, which had finally recovered her qi and blood, turned pale in an instant, she held her hand distressedly, "People can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad." ”
Although she had long known Mrs. Yan's impulse to find a short-sighted view, she thought that she had persuaded her to change her mind, but she did not expect that it would be difficult to escape in the end.
Could it be that the palace knows about her relationship with Jin Zhaocheng, knows everything she instructed Jin Zhaocheng to do in Pingzhou, or finds that she is the mastermind behind the murder of the Xu family. If so, then what about Yan Kaizhi, isn't he taking the blame for his mother, and now that Mrs. Yan is dead, how is he doing?
Shaohua's face flushed strangely from excitement, and she asked Zhou Yan in a voice so calm that she felt incredible: "What about him, is he also dead?" When this sentence blurted out, Shaohua suddenly felt that she didn't want to get an answer, she was afraid that Zhou Yan's answer would be yes, and the last hope in her heart would be extinguished. Zhou Yan looked distressed, walked over and gently hugged her curled up, and pulled away her hand that subconsciously covered her ears.
A voice came from the doorway, "He's not dead. This sentence was like the first sunshine breaking through the thick dark clouds, which made her see hope again. Looking in the direction of the voice, Li Sinian strode forward, bent down to help Shaohua, and said to her with a serious face: "If you don't want him to hate you, cheer me up, you still have a son and a family." He's not dead yet, and you're here as if you've lost half your life, are you worthy of him risking his life to save you? ”
Li Sinian's words were very exciting, Shaohua lowered his head and pursed his lips and thought for a while, broke free of Zhou Yan's hand, and barely stood up straight. Zhou Yan wanted to help her, but Shaohua shook her head and refused: "I'm fine." ”
Li Sinian nodded, "This is Li Wuniang." ”
Shaohua smiled bitterly, "Tell me all, I want to know how he is." ”
Li Sinian looked at her stubborn little face with a pair of determined eyes, he sighed, and told Shaohua all the things that happened today.
In the end, the emperor still remembered the old feelings, and only said that Yan Kaizhi did not report what he knew, shielded and connived at what Jin Zhaocheng did, and attributed everything to Jin Zhaocheng. It doesn't matter how many people in the court believe it, after all, the emperor opened Chrysostom, even if it is fake, they can only take it seriously, not to mention that what the Xu family did in Pingzhou can be regarded as self-inflicted. Jin Zhaocheng just exposed their details, not a false accusation, and the murderer of He Sanzhao was arrested by Fang Youxin, and it turned out to be Jin Zhaocheng's son. And when he learned of his father's death, he also chose to kill himself, so angry that Fang Youxin jumped to his feet, and finally found the source and was cut off again.
As for whose house the dragon robe and jade seal are hidden, how could it appear mysteriously for no reason, and mysteriously disappear, as soon as Jin Zhaocheng's father and son died, all of them became headless public cases. Even Fang Youxin can only scratch his head in a daze, he is an official and worried, not a detective, and in the end he can only be glad that this jade seal has been sent back to the palace. Pingzhou's array has been broken, maybe everything will be like a dark cloud to disperse, and finally see the blue sky.
Mrs. Yan's death was an accident for many people, but her death was also the end of the matter, and it is said that the Queen Mother was so angry that she fell ill in bed. It's just that the emperor has not made a will to say where Yan Kaizhi will go, and even the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion has sent troops to guard it as it is.
Shaohua knew that Mrs. Yan's death was an inevitability, whether it was Pingzhou's affairs or the secret with Empress Dowager He, she would not be able to spend her old age in peace after all. If death is a relief for her, Shaohua will no longer feel sorry for her, but it is still Yan Kaizhi who makes her feel at ease. After returning to Biwuxuan, Shaohua changed her madness, and her quiet appearance made Ling worry for a while, but in the end, Shaohua comforted her with a smile.
I knew that my daughter was sad, but I didn't dare to force it, so I could only let the nurse carry the dough to Shaohua, hoping that she could cheer up for her son. Now everyone is also staring at the emperor's holy decree, but he only said a word to bury Yan An's family, and we will discuss it after the funeral. Mrs. Yan's funeral was naturally impossible to be carried out in a big way, and it was rare that she was not given a wrapping table, but no one in the empty mourning hall dared to pay respects, and there were not many people until Xin Maoshan and the Li family appeared, and there were some people immediately after the Anqing Hou Mansion. It's just that even at Mrs. Yan's funeral, no one saw Yan Kaizhi's trace.
Shaohua naturally couldn't appear at the funeral, the Li family and the Xin family were considered to have given enough face to go, otherwise their daughter would go if she was suspended. But when Mrs. Yan's coffin was laid down, the holy decree was issued at the same time, taking back Yan Kaizhi's title and sending him to Haiting. As soon as she heard that Yan Kaizhi was assigned to Haiting, Shaohua was stunned for a long time, and she vaguely only remembered a sentence in the ancient book: "Outside Haiting, there is only Xianshan, and there are no people." "Probably speaking, there is no one living outside the sea pavilion, unless you can see the fairy mountain, but when you get to the fairy mountain, you can't go back to the world.
She had never seen the sea, but she knew that it was a wider margin than the grassland, the mountains were gods but the sea was spiritless, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
"At least he's alive, there's always a way to get him back." This is what Li Sinian said to her, but Shaohua clearly saw a weakness in Li Sinian's eyes, she had never heard that exiled people could come back. He deceived his letter of resignation from the Ling family, which was clearly written in black and white, "Whoever is the cause of husband and wife, the relationship between three lives in the previous life is the beginning of the husband and wife in this life." If the relationship is not compatible, it is more than a grudge, so it is relatively ...... Since the two hearts are different, it is difficult to return to the same mind, and they will soon meet and relatives, and each will return to its original way...... Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other. One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. Shaohua didn't know in what mood Yan Kaizhi was in writing this letter of resignation, but in her opinion, every word seemed extremely ironic.
"Madam, there is a guest."
Chu He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he trotted all the way behind Hongfang, and finally rushed to report to Shaohua in front of him. But as soon as he finished speaking, Hongfang's figure had already stepped into Shaohua's house. Shaohua had just appeased his son, and when he turned around, he saw Hongfang, and he was stunned for a while.
Then he thought that he was still in the Li family, so he immediately lowered his face and said to Hongfang viciously: "Why are you here?" ”
Hongfang didn't care about her attitude at all, he sat on the chair by himself, and even poured tea automatically, without pretending to be others. He looked at the stunned maids, as well as Shaohua who gritted his teeth, and smiled: "That's how you treat your life-saving benefactor." ”
Shaohua didn't expect him to be so brazen, he ran to someone else's house and didn't say anything, but he was so proactive, "I didn't let you save it at all, don't expect me to thank you." ”
Hongfang saw the expression on Shaohua's face as he wished, and smiled very happily: "Then what if I save Yan Kaizhi?" ”
Shaohua swallowed his saliva and looked at him nervously, "Do you have a way?" ”
Hirokata shrugged his shoulders and made an innocent expression: "No." ”
was so angry that Shaohua immediately slapped the table, "I don't welcome you here, you can go." How could she naively expect Hongfang to run in front of her and take the initiative to tell her that he had the ability to save Yan Kaizhi, and why did he take the risk to save Yan Kaizhi, who didn't know what the charges Yan Kaizhi was carrying now, and even the Li family was helpless.
Hongfang knows very well that talking to Shaohua is to be a scoundrel, otherwise she will be angry to death, as long as you dare to pull down your face, she will only have the share of jumping feet. "This is the Li family, not the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion, what does it matter if you welcome it or not. Besides, I didn't come to you specifically, just by the way. ”
Shaohua glared at Chu He, "Then you can go, Chu He will send off the guests." "Chu He wants to obey orders, but the other party is the son of the world, since he can enter the Li family so swaggeringly, and even come to Shaohua, he must have a good relationship with the Li family. If he refuses to leave, can she still drag him away? Chu He looked at Shao Hua in embarrassment, and secretly looked at Hongfang, seeing that he looked at him with a comfortable look, Chu He was even more helpless.
Seeing Chu He's cowardly appearance, Shaohua really hated Youhan for being sent out by her, otherwise Youhan would have much more backbone than her.
Hongfang didn't play Tai Chi with Shaohua, looking at her stinky face, he said straight to the point: "I'm here to propose." ”
This sentence startled everyone, especially Shaohua, "You dare!" ”
Hongfang looked at her with a smile and an angry look, and said in a brisk tone, "Why don't you dare? Yan Kaizhidu has divorced you, who else will marry you except me. ”
Shaohua was so angry that he took it for granted, she was not the little lady she was at the beginning, but now she married early and raised a son. I really don't know which tendon is knotted in Hongfang, and he would come up with such an unstoppable and endless sentence, "If you want to marry, do I have to marry, I said that I was born to be ......"
Hongfang interrupted her unceremoniously, "Life is the Yan family, death is the ghost of the Yan family, you still don't know your identity, you are no longer the Yan family." Shaohua was stabbed in the sore spot by him, "Don't worry about it!" Hongfang lowered his eyes and glanced at the first lotus, and they all retreated in amusement. Looking at Shaohua's stubborn appearance, the corners of his mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning, "You really don't want me to save him?" I'm going to say I can save him, how are you going to repay me? ”
Hearing him emphasize again, Shaohua couldn't help but get upright, looking at his face as if he was smiling, he couldn't figure out his intentions, and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"I want you to marry me." Hirokata spoke lightly, as if he was just saying that he had eaten a few buns in the morning.
"Don't think!" Shaohua blurted out without thinking, and then added a sentence in a nutshell: "You already have a princess." ”
Hongfang deliberately distorted Shaohua's meaning by mistake, "If you mind, I'll go back and leave her." Looking at Shaohua's stunned appearance, the smile on his face deepened.
Shaohua was stunned for a long time before squeezing out a few words, "You...... Lunatic! After saying that, she quickly turned her head and didn't look at Hongfang's eyes. I have to say that his eyes are so seductive, as if he can see the secrets hidden in the depths of his soul at a glance, and the enthusiasm and earnestness make her feel confused. To say that she is Xin Zimo, in the face of Hongfang's enthusiasm, she still feels excusable, but she is just Li Shaohua, at most, she likes to disobey him, why is he so persistent.
He doesn't look like he has a broken brain, is he idle and likes to find people who disagree with him to block him.
Hongfang didn't know what Shaohua was thinking, but deliberately teased: "You're not stupid, isn't this the right thing to do?" However, this time I got a pair of white eyes from Shaohua. He put away his smile, suddenly became serious, and looked at Shaohua with a serious face, "If there was no Yan Kaizhi, would you marry me?" ”
Shaohua looked at Hongfang as if he had seen a ghost, and exaggerated sarcastically: "You are not only crazy, but also stupid. ”
Hongfang still asked reluctantly: "Will it be, just one word is enough." ”
Shaohua glanced at him, this question is a trap at all, if he really answers a word, he will definitely fall into his trap. But the answer is no, it is two words, if you don't pay attention to it, you will really be deceived by his "one word".
"Are you really stupid?" When she looked up at Hongfang again, she accidentally saw a flash of emotion on his face, like a bitter smile, like helplessness, and like sadness. In Shaohua's heart, he has never seen Hongfang with such complex thoughts, he is either a high-flying pride, or a cynical evil ghost. She didn't know if Hongfang deliberately showed such an expression for her to see, but suddenly she was a little depressed. "How can there be so many ifs, besides, I don't know."
Hongfang looked at Shaohua's calm and well-behaved side face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you don't have to be Yan Kaizhi, it's just that he appeared first, right?" ”
Shaohua sighed in her heart, she and Hongfang are also fateful, maybe he owed her in the previous life, or maybe she needed to pay him back in the next life. But after all, this life can only be like this, whoever owes it is already doomed, "If you want to make you feel better." ”
Hongfang didn't care about Shaohua's emotions, and said to himself: "So if I appear before him in the next life, you will fall in love with me, just like you love him, right?" ”
Suddenly feeling that something was wrong with the topic, Shaohua frowned and looked at him, "Have you had enough of playing word games?" ”
Hongfang met his eyes, looked at Shaohua's puzzled face, and said word by word: "I ask you, if you are given the opportunity to accompany him, there will be no glory and wealth, no more fine clothes and food, no more money and clothing, no more return to Beijing, and even no way to see your son, will you go?" ”
Shaohua looked at him as if he was joking casually, and his voice trembled a little, "You...... Can it really be? ”
"Tomorrow, listen to the wind building, you can do it yourself."
