Chapter 65: Doomed to a Thousand Kinds of Jealousy
"If you insist on breaking my heart, I can only punish your heart and return a tooth for a tooth, it's fair, isn't it~" He Le'an said, "It's because you haven't treated Huiyu as a friend from beginning to end, so you will hide your intentions, but because of her relationship with Yuejun Wang's cousin, you are deliberately close, stop pretending to be sincere and crying, we are disgusting!" ”
"I now understand that on the day of Xinghuayuan, you didn't just want to kill me because of your concubine." She said, "Presumably Huiyu also guessed, even if it is known that the king of Yuejun died, you are still unwilling to let me go." ”
He Le'an suddenly hooked his lips proudly, grabbed Xu Xie's arm and said, "Now that you know that King Yuejun is not dead, he is still my husband, do you hate me even more, but don't worry, I know that only the dead will keep secrets, and I won't give you the opportunity to make it public-"
She took the long sword in Xu Xie's hand, walked towards Dongfang Nishang, who had been seriously injured and slipped to the ground against the pillar, and raised her hand to plunge into her shoulder fiercely in her frightened eyes!
"Ahh Dongfang Nishang exclaimed in pain. Those eyes were almost bulging outward, and she reached out to grab He Le'an with resentment, but as soon as she raised her hand, the strong palm wind directly shattered her hand bones, "Ahhhh ”
The heart-rending pain squeezed out of her throat one by one, and she looked at Xu Xie in despair past He Le'an, "Why! Why do you want to treat me like this for this lowly concubine! I, I like you! I've liked you for years! I, what am I inferior to her! Why do you want to treat me like this? ”
Xu Xie said coldly with an expressionless face: "You like yourself more than like me, even if I am dead, you still don't want to be kind to the woman I like, so selfish and selfish, I don't like it, you almost ruined my wife and best friend today, even if An'er wants to spare you, I won't agree." "It is called cutting grass without removing roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
"Don't worry, I'm not the one who was slapped on the left cheek and sent to the right cheek." He Le'an's eyes bent and smiled, she stabbed the blade of the sword into Dongfang Nishang's shoulder, and said: "Dongfang Nishang, let me tell you another secret, if you don't come back to Fengzhou City, you will find that your husband Su Songzhan has already been involved with your cousin Meng Duojiao, in order to marry into the Taining Marquis Mansion, Meng Duojiao Songzhan also conspired to kill you." ”
"Do you think that the child you slipped off is really just the malicious revenge of the concubine, if there is no Su Song's intention, how can the concubine who is all under his command dare to poison you, and you didn't find out after marrying into the Taining Marquis Mansion, Su Songzhan is like an emperor in the Taining Marquis Mansion, and even his mother has to listen to his only son."
"Ahh Dongfang Nishang only felt that the pain on her shoulders seemed to be all gathered in her heart, and the feeling of being wrapped in ice taught her to gradually shrink up, she was so painful that she wanted to die immediately now, but she looked greedily at Xu Xie behind He Le'an, she suddenly laughed mockingly, "King Yuejun, don't you let me go, then you killed me!" ”
"It's not that easy for you to be yourself." He Le'an calmly returned this sentence to her, pulled out the blade of the sword suddenly, and stabbed her chest without changing his face, even before she died, she still looked at the indifferent Xu Xie intently.
And He Le'an didn't turn around and leave with Xu Xie until she really died.
**
When He Le'an and Xu Xie, who had regained his appearance, returned to Xu Mansion, it was already midnight, and when he saw the poetry that was tied to one side to be judged, he felt that he had fed the dog for her kindness in the past few years, and he couldn't hide his tiredness and said:
"I only ask why you treat me like this, I ask myself if I usually treat you well, as a maid, I have never been harsh on you, I have never been harsh on you for small mistakes and big problems on weekdays, and I have never been severely punished for anything, and there are gifts for every festival or New Year-"
"How can you understand as a master!" Shiqing interrupted with a self-deprecating sneer as if she had accepted her fate, "Even if you are just a humble concubine, you have been cared for in the palm of Mrs. He since you were a child, and after you get married, you will be loved by your husband and your husband." ”
"Even if it's occasionally troublesome. But it's never a big deal, how can you understand the desire in the heart of a slave and a servant, I just want to get out of slavery, am I wrong!! ”
He Le'an looked at her and didn't know if she was angry or what, she raised her lips and didn't say anything, and before she could say anything, she fainted directly, Xu Xie hugged her and ordered the guards guarding the poetry to say, "Take it down first." Then he instructed the maid, "Ask a few doctors to come over." ”
**
The willow-like moon was gradually swallowed by the whitening sky, like the sky of aqua blue flawless silk, and suddenly a light rain began to fall, and He Le'an, who was asleep, was a little unsteady, and he gently patted her back rhythmically, caressing away the apprehension engraved in her bones.
He Le'an woke up slowly, but he didn't open his eyes, listened to his heartbeat, and almost whispered: "You are the best in this world, if you get you, you are destined to be hated in a thousand ways, and I admit it." She was reluctant to let him go.
Xu Xie bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "The doctor said that you are thinking too much and your pulse is unstable, it is best to stay at home to recuperate these days, don't think too much." When he remembered that he would time her and push her away, his heart became uncomfortable, and he kissed her on the lips in distress.
He Le'an rubbed his neck with his face, "Let's go out for a walk according to the original plan." ”
"You don't have to cancel the plan, but you have to recuperate before you go out."
"Hmm."
**
The spring rain is endless, Xu Xie has been accompanying He Le'an to read books or play chess in Langya Ju these days, her chess skills are also exquisite, never aggressive, if the other party is not eager, a game of chess can be played for two hours, it is very timeless.
When Xue Huiyu came to Xu Mansion, the black and white children on the chess game were about to pull and pull alive, and she rolled her eyes speechlessly, and said: "I always think that fighting is the fun of playing chess, do you really think it's interesting to play like you playing by the river!" ”
"It's good to change the flavor once in a while." Xu Evil Dao.
He Le'an pursed his lips and said, "What happened to your brother's injury now." ”
"He's recovering pretty well." Xue Huiyu said lightly, "The people of Zhiyibo's Mansion have already transported Dongfang Wu's body to Beijing early this morning, but there is news from the capital that Su Songzhan is going to marry Meng Duojiao, who is pregnant, so angry that Mrs. Zhiyibo fainted directly, and Zhiyibo and Dongfang Shizi will go to Beijing together to hold them accountable." ”
"But the main room is dead, and I'm afraid I can't chase it down, so it's coming. I just didn't expect Meng Duojiao to be like this...... Don't put a face like that, and with the infamy of seducing your cousin-in-law, you have to marry Su Songzhan with your belly. ”
In Su Songzhan's eyes, Meng Duojiao is just a chess piece that will be discarded immediately after use, the same as Dongfang Nishang, who is not sorry to die, so impatient, but he just wants to get the things hidden in General Zhenxi's hands, how can he care about being so high-profile, this steproom will be pointed at the back and abused.
He Le'an said, "This family affair was originally calculated by Mrs. Zhiyibo for Dongfang Er, otherwise they would not let go of the more intimate Zhenxi General's Mansion, and deliberately wanted a prince of the Taining Marquis Mansion." There is no impermeable wall in the world, Su Songzhan's concubine is hidden, and it is not something that their Hou Mansion can hide if they want to, Mrs. Zhiyibo knows this, and she has to marry her daughter, how can she blame a person who has no heart and liver for being so indifferent and ruthless. ”
"Since ancient times, women have always been victims of power." Xue Huiyu sighed.
"But as long as you are not willing to fall victim and want to fight to the end, it is not completely impossible." He Le'an said, "But most people are bound to death by the honor of the family. In the face of all kinds of injuries, he finally chose to endure it, isn't this a disguised connivance~"
Xue Huiyu sighed heavily, "Sometimes the shackles can be solved if you don't want to solve them, many people lack the courage to break the net, so they retreat to the next best thing, and it is enough to pursue the superficial scenery, and they fall deeper and deeper until they are hopeless." ”
"You can rest assured that your parents have no intention of chasing fame and fortune, and you will not have a day like theirs." Xu Xie said lazily. Even Prince Xuan's Mansion is just an idle prince's mansion that ignores court affairs.
"Indeed." Xue Huiyu said with a smile, "My brother also said that instead of playing scheming with those people, it is better to fight on the battlefield for a few months, which is convenient and fast, and there is no need to worry about the future." ”
After chatting until the evening, He Le'an left Xue Huiyu to finish dinner in the mansion before leaving.
Before parting, Xue Huiyu instructed: "It's a little cold in spring, pay attention to keeping warm, I don't know when you will come back, when you get to a place, write me a letter, I can't reply." But look at your happiness, and you can be happy. After that, he suppressed the faint smile on his lower lips, "That day, I was soft-hearted, and I went out with Dongfang Wu, and I almost hurt myself and you, I hug——"
"If I say anything more polite, I'm going to be angry." He Le'an interrupted, "She only implicated you for me, you have always been in love for decades, you are kind and soft-hearted, I don't want this calculation to hurt our feelings, there are some things I know even if you don't say it, you can guess that it was me who did it." ”
"She's to blame, I don't think you've gone too far." If it weren't for the poison that her brother ended up hurting himself, I'm afraid it would be unimaginable, or they would have spared it, and her brother would never let go of Dongfang Nishang.
He Le'an raised his lips and smiled, "Well, be careful when you go back." ”
**
At the beginning of April, when He Le'an and Xu Xie were having a happier game, Xu Xie invited a doctor to give her a pulse of peace as soon as he settled in a certain town. ”
“!” He Le'an looked at Xu Xie in surprise and blankness, she didn't even notice it, how could he suddenly ......
When the doctor left, Xu Xie took her into his arms and said, "Do you remember the last time you interrogated the poet and suddenly fainted, at that time the doctor suspected that you were pregnant, but the days are still shallow, the pulse is vain, and it is difficult to explore, let me ask the doctor to take the pulse after a while, I am afraid that in the end, it will make you happy in vain, so I have not told you." ”
He couldn't help but kiss her forehead, then kissed the corners of her eyes and nose, and finally tossed and turned on his lips, looking at each other, and they could see the pleasure that was almost overflowing from the bottom of the other party's eyes, "An'er, thank you for making me so happy." ”
"Thank you for allowing me to have these happiness that I never dared to think of before." He Le'an cupped his face and kissed him.
**
Time passed like the gurgling of a stream, sometimes like a waterfall, and it was early summer two years later.
He Le'an was reading a book in the room, and Xu Xie came in with an old small iron box with a puzzled face. Without waiting for her to ask, he smiled and said: "We have been waiting for more than two years, and this is what Prince Rui got from General Zhenxi through Su Songzhan using Meng Duojiao, Meng Duojiao made his father angry and dying for the sake of his own son's life. ”
“!” He Le'an looked back at the ordinary-looking iron box in surprise.
Xu Xie walked to her side, and opened the box made of fine iron with internal force, inside was a piece of leather dyed with ancient traces, weighed by the naked eye and hand, a bit like human skin, when opened, there was a small piece of well-drawn map-like pictures, among which there were some small red dots of unknown reason. Like a logo, he handed it to her and said, "You said that you have never seen such a thing, but I remembered it a little, when I was a child, I vaguely heard my father mention the dowry of the former queen - the treasure map." ”
"Well, it's true that I've never seen it, but I know that this thing has a lot of powerful people, it is not necessarily only in the hands of Zhongliang, and not every copy is useful, there must be some fakes that confuse the eyes, but the person concerned does not know whether it is real or fake, and has been carefully kept and passed on."
Xu Xie groaned. "Such a position as my father, he does not have, presumably the original purpose of the existence of this thing is to prevent all those who have military power from rebelling, if it can really compete with those who have a large number of military power, then you can understand why Prince Rui is looking for it by any means."
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he killed many blood relatives who swore to die, and also cut off all the military power of the remaining direct blood relatives, such as Prince Rui, Prince Xuan and other relatives and brothers are all lords who do not have any official positions and real power.
He Le'an looked at the map, "Look at it like this." I don't know where this is, and how to distinguish the real from the fake. ”
Xu Xie silently wrote down the lines and red dots on the human skin, tried to burn it with fire and water to soak it, and saw if there were any hidden clues, after some tossing, they were sure that this was a map that could not be more straightforward, he said: "The first queen is the prince and county lord of another country, and the things she brought, An'er, do you think it will be in our country." ”
"It's a bit of a stretch to guess." He Le'an said, "If this treasure map was passed down to her by the former queen's father, it is my words. I will hide my secret in other countries, if this is the case, then as the first queen who married the county lord of another country, don't you think that the location is likely to be our country, especially the reason why the first emperor was able to ascend the throne back then, relying on his relatives, do you think that the distant water can save the near fire, the battle for the throne has always been imminent. ”
Xu Xie hooked his lips and touched her head, "That's what I thought, too." ”
He Le'an and Xu Xie both wrote down the map, and after making sure that there was no mistake, they destroyed the human skin map.
"Tomorrow is the third birthday of the third uncle's Quan'er, and I will bring back the baboons and spring rolls at that time." reminds me of my own dragon and phoenix fetal daughter. He Le'an couldn't help laughing and said, "Otherwise, grandmother, they will spoil those two little children who are lawless." ”
Xu was evil, the secret guard suddenly blew an urgent whistle briefly, he frowned, signaled He Le'an to wait, and when he went out, he saw the secret guard coming in a hurry, kneeling down and said sadly: "Prince Qian was ambushed, and when the division general arrived with his troops, he only had time to retrieve half of the corpse!" ”
He Le'an, who came out with his coat, felt that his mind exploded, and the coldness rushed from his feet to his heart. With a stiff hand, she walked over and hugged Xu Xie, who had not been able to react for a long time, and asked the dark guard, "Do you know more specific circumstances?" ”
"When the granary caught fire, the division general went to inspect it, and Prince Qian was ambushed, and it was found that it was the killer of the Western Regions."
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, He Le'an waved off the secret guard and led Xu Xie back to the bedroom, she asked him to sit in front of the dresser, and in his slight confusion, he tore off the disguise on his face little by little, revealing the handsome face that was as white as a cloud because he had not seen the sun for many years. He looked at him from the mirror and said, "You are the son of Prince Qian first, and then my husband." ”
Xu Xie held her hand rubbing his cheek, and before she could say anything, she said, "I can have you carefree all these years, and I feel that it is enough." "100,000 soldiers is a sweet and sweet that everyone wants, Prince Qian's son grew up in Beijing since he was a child, even though he is intelligent, but he is not competent to guard the complicated affairs of the border pass, if there is a slight mistake, Prince Qian's palace will suffer.
"An'er, I-"
"Young Lord and Young Lady, the Marquis of Jinning, the Governor and all the officials of Fengzhou City are here, and they want you to go out to receive the order!" At this time, the maid hurried over, and hurriedly reported it, interrupting Xu Xie's words.
**
In the front hall of the Xu Mansion, headed by the Marquis of Jin Ning, there were forty-seven officials who were all wearing official uniforms and trembling, and the official position was a team, among which was the prefect of He Third Uncle, and when he was shocked to see He Le'an and the masked Xu Xie come out, he immediately became frightened, and he didn't know why the holy decree would come to Shangjia's Xu Mansion for no reason.
The Marquis of Jinning held up the holy decree deeply, Xu Xie and He Le'an, as well as the surrounding officials and maids, all knelt down together, only to listen to the holy decree unfolded, and the sonorous male voice said: "The emperor's edict said, I remember the prince of Ganqian's mansion for the country and the people for generations, and there are countless merits, and he once acquiesced to the death of Situ Yue, the king of Yuejun, and then lived under the pseudonym Xu evil, and now with the needs of the people, the safety of the family and the country, Situ Yue is the general of Xu evil, leading 100,000 elite soldiers to guard the Yumen Pass, and this is !! ”
In the unbelievable surprise around him, Situ Yue concealed his shock and suspicion without a trace, and took off his mask to thank him.
As an uncle, Jin Ninghou looked at his familiar bewitching face, and really didn't know whether he should be annoyed by others or laugh for his relatives, "Good boy, let everyone break their hearts for you, but you are happy in the name of the richest man!" ”
"It's also sad to call my uncle and aunt, I'm sorry." Situ Yue's voice was like washed cotton silk, "It's just that now, my father has an accident, and I have to set off immediately to rush to the border gate, and I can't come to the door to ask for guilt for the time being." I also hope that my uncle will also say sorry to my aunt and aunt, and I will come to the door another day to make amends. ”
Marquis of Jin Ning sighed and said: "The family doesn't talk about the two families, you must have your own troubles, go and pack your bags quickly." ”
**
After He Le'an and Situ Yue simply packed up their things, they went to the Houfu Courtyard to pick up baboons and spring rolls, but they didn't think that in the afterglow of the sunset, Xue Shizi and Xue Huiyu were waiting in front of the door, Xue Huiyu's entire eye circle was red, and she saw that Situ Yue stepped forward and punched him in the chest, "Bastard!" ”
"Wisdom Talk!" He Le'an hurriedly grabbed her hand and said guiltily: "He is for me, he will-"
"So far. I understand, it's just ......," Xue Huiyu said with tears, "It's just that I'm alive." She took the opportunity to hug Situ Yue and He Le'an next to him, and said in a low voice with sobs:
"I don't know anything else, I only stumbled upon it half a year ago, this secret decree was hidden in my father's secret room, and now my sister-in-law has an accident, I guess your trip is very dangerous, and it is not appropriate to take your children there, since my identity has been restored, I have discussed it with my brother. It's better for us to secretly take them back to Prince Qian's mansion. ”
Situ Yue looked at Xue Shizi, only to see him bow his head heavily, and then smiled cynically: "When I doubted you, you still denied it, and I admired you for your amazing acting skills." ”
"Even if I deny it, you still don't doubt it." Situ Yue also smiled, but He Le'an took advantage of them to speak, and said something in Xue Huiyu's ear without a trace, and then a few innocuous goodbyes and exhortations on the surface, Xue Shizi and Xue Huiyu reluctantly left, and they walked into the Hou Mansion Courtyard hand in hand.
Night fell quietly. The house is brightly lit.
As soon as He Le'an stepped into Mrs. He's Xuan Su Ju, two small figures rushed towards her, one of them hugged her leg, and called out in a milky voice: "Mother! After receiving her gentle touch, he called out to Situ Yue sweetly, "Father! ”
Situ Yue picked one up with one hand without any pressure, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Good girl, let's go in and talk about it." ”
Xuan Su Curie, everyone was there, and after a few goodbyes, He Le'an and Situ Yue took the baboon and spring rolls back to the Fuliu Courtyard where she used to live, and opened the secret passage they had secretly built to prevent accidents. Instructed the two children:
"Father and mother are not around, you have to be more sensible, and you have to take good care of your grandmother for your father and mother, you know?"
As an elder brother, the baboon held his sister's hand tightly, and said with his head bowed: "Father and mother are careful on the road, we will be obedient by Aunt Huiyu's side, you don't have to worry about us, chirp~" He kissed He Le'an's cheek and kissed Situ Yue's.
He Le'an reluctantly kissed them, hugged them again, and then handed them the Night Pearl, sent them into the secret room, and then used the carriage of the Hou Mansion to drive out of the side gate and go straight to the city gate.
