Chapter Twenty-Three: The Finale

Ah Zheng was gambling, betting that the long snake fruit was as important to the ghost as Chu Yangcheng's blood. Sure enough, as soon as Ah Zheng's voice fell, the 'puppets' who came over here were just a meal, although it was only a momentary change, but Ah Zheng, who had led the army for five years, could be concealed there. Looking at the crowd that continued to surround him, Ah Zheng sneered, and out of nowhere he found a bright red fruit, held it in front of him, and his slender fingers slowly cut the delicate skin of the fruit, and he could see the red juice flowing out.

At this moment, the crowd of people who came over really stopped, Ah Zheng raised his eyes to look at Ouyang Zijun, saw him make a 'drag' gesture, frowned slightly, Ah Zheng glanced at those people, and played with the fruit in his hand casually. This action frightened Chu Yangcheng, Bai Yuming had told her about the toxicity of the long snake fruit, and now Ah Zheng not only broke it, but also played with it so casually that he couldn't help but reach out to pull Ah Zheng's hand.

Seeing Chu Yangcheng's movements, Ah Zheng knew what she was worried about, smiled at her, and signaled that it was okay. Of course, Ah Zheng knew the power of the long snake fruit, and besides, how could he bring such a dangerous thing with him, this one was just an imitation. Speaking of which, Jin Nian has been naughty since he was a child, and he has no achievements in learning martial arts and medicine, but he doesn't know where he learned the trick of making a fake with one hand, and now he can make prosthetics. This time, in order to prepare for emergencies, Ah Zheng deliberately asked Jinnian to make a few fake fruits to bring on his body, and with Jinnian's fake skills, it is naturally easy for people not to see through.

Ah Zheng's gaze shuttled through the crowd around him, he had been away from Beijing for five years, and he was not very familiar with the ministers of the court, let alone the ministers' families. Looking at the current situation, it should be hypnotism, and the person who performs the spell should be in the crowd, what Ah Zheng has to do now is to find that person among so many people.

Chu Yangcheng quickly calmed down, and Chu Yangcheng could naturally think of what Ah Zheng could think of, let go of the hand holding Ah Zheng, turned his back against Ah Zheng, and looked for the person who performed the spell with Ah Zheng.

Ah Zheng's face was unmoved, his fingernails were silently scratching small red fruits, and the juice that flowed out was also amazingly red, staining Ah Zheng's white fingers, revealing a silent threat to the people hidden in the crowd. Everyone knows that now is the time to test concentration, and at this time, if you sleep first, you will lose. Ah Zheng's cold eyes swept over the crowd in front of him, the same blank eyes, silent to the two of them, although there were so many people in the hall, they were silent and afraid of people.

After about a stick of incense, Ouyang Zijun, who was standing outside the encirclement, nodded to Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, showed a charming smile, and said to the crowd: "Marquis of Jinling, the game is over, you should stand up!"

The crowd in front of him lost their support and generally fell, and Bai Xiangyi, the Marquis of Jinling, who was dressed in brocade, walked out of the crowd slowly, walked forward with a yin owl smile, clapped his hands, and said: "It is worthy of being the son of Ouyang Lingze, no worse than your Lao Tzu, but today, whether it is Chu Weiyan or Long Snake Fruit, I am bound to win." ”

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "Then it depends on Hou Ye's ability!" But Xu Zheng is very curious, what is the difference between the blood of the smoke? Aren't the smoke and Yang Cheng twin brothers and sisters? Why is it okay to smoke but not to Yangcheng?"

"It's a foregone conclusion, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you. Our treasure is this gem, which needs to be infiltrated with special blood and the juice of the long snake fruit to exert its power. As you saw earlier, it still doesn't have the power of a blood sacrifice. I originally intended to cultivate Jade Tea as a sacrifice for blood sacrifices, but I didn't expect to be met by Chu Shuyan by mistake. However, compared to jade tea, it seems that this girl is more suitable, and may be able to better exert the power of gems. Wu Xiangyi took out a colorful gem and showed it to Ah Zheng, not worrying that someone would snatch the gem, as if everything was already under control.

When Chu Yangcheng heard this, he frowned slightly, trying to remember if there was such a thing when he was a child.

"Wu Xiangyi, you are wrong, it was not this female doll who broke your ceremony in the first place, but her brother, the male doll. Yang Cheng is a twin, although they look exactly the same, but the interesting thing is that in appearance, Yang Yan is a little more heroic than her brother Yang Cheng, and on the contrary, Yang Cheng is more delicate than Yang Yan. But these details, except for their mother, no one else will notice, it is me, and it is Mei'er who told me that I noticed. ”

A slightly hoarse female voice sounded, and the people in the hall followed the sound, but saw Qi Mu helping Mu Liuli to come, and Mu Liuli didn't care about the eyes of others and continued: "Mei'er married to the Prime Minister's Mansion for nearly five years before giving birth to Yang Cheng and Yanyan, his husband naturally dislikes her, although she has the status of the main room, her life in the house is like an aunt, but because she is the main room, she is hated by the concubine." When Yang Cheng and Yan were young, the servant women around them were very unsatisfied, and the two were very similar, sometimes they even wore the wrong clothes, and you happened to meet that once. ”

Mu Liuli recounted blandly, without the slightest concern for Wu Xiangyi's already darkening face. And Wu Xiangyi regretted it at this time, he imprisoned Mu Liuli for eighteen years, just to ask Mu Liuli to tell who ruined his big event in the first place, but he didn't expect Mu Liuli to stick to it for eighteen years and refused to tell the truth. Five years ago, he checked in many ways and learned that Chu Weiyan was the original girl, and in order to retaliate against Mu Liuli for opposing him, he continued to imprison and torture her. He had planned a major event for decades, and he was about to succeed, but who knew that Mu Liuli was suddenly rescued, and even told him in person that it was just a mistake of his subordinates back then, and he killed the most important link by mistake.

"Mu Liuli, you, you're very good!" Wu Xiangyi gritted his teeth and said.

Mu Liuli has been tortured for eighteen years, and when he saw Wu Xiangyi's expression, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "That's natural, I have been suffering for so many years, just to see the day when all your hopes are disappointed, and now, I finally got my wish! Wu Xiangyi, you are a beast with a human face and a beast's heart, it is not enough for you to ruin Xiao'er's life, but also to harm Yuming, what is there in our Mu family to be sorry for you, you have to hurt us again and again?"

"None of this matters, everything can be discarded in the face of great causes. Wu Xiangyi's face was still cold, unmoved, for him, his wife, concubines, and children were nothing compared to a great cause.

"Master Hou's great cause is inevitably too early. Before Wu Xiangyi reacted, Ah Zheng had already jumped over, and when he came back to his senses, the gem had fallen into Ah Zheng's hand, as if he was playing with it casually.

Wu Xiangyi's face was pale, he didn't expect that Ah Zheng's martial arts had reached such a realm, and he, thinking that the great cause was in sight, was not guarding against Ah Zheng at all. At this time, the gem was seized by Ah Zheng, and he couldn't help but be angry, although Chu Yangcheng was dead, he had no chance to complete the blood sacrifice ceremony, but as long as the gem was still there, he always had a chance to achieve it. The Yin Owl's eyes stared at Ah Zheng, and without much thought, he rushed forward, trying to snatch the gem back.

Ah Zheng stood still steadily, but before Wu Xiangyi's palm power swept away, there was a person who steadily intercepted Wu Xiangyi's attack, it was Shen Yanling, at this time he appeared as the master of the secret door, wearing a mask, and others could not recognize it, but Wu Xiangyi knew Shen Yanling's identity early on.

Shen Yanling didn't take Wu Xiangyi too seriously, and said to Ah Zheng: "I'll deal with it here, you go and help your mother prepare the antidote." ”

With his father here, Ah Zheng naturally didn't have to worry too much, and pulled Chu Yangcheng to the back.

In the final ending, Ah Zheng didn't ask his father, Chu Yangcheng didn't ask, the Marquis of Jinling was asked to behead, but he didn't implicate too much, even the Marquis of Jinling's mansion was not cut, and Wu Yufeng, the son of the Marquis of Jinling, inherited the marquis, but he was very tolerant of several younger siblings. Bai Yuming can also be regarded as a serious prince of the Hou Mansion, but he did not return to the Hou Mansion and proposed to Wu Yufeng to take his mother out of the Hou Mansion to live. Wu Xiangyi is dead, this is not too much, so he agreed, this time Jin Nian prefers to run to Baicao Villa, Shen Yanling and Ning Er had to sigh that the girl was not staying, but they did not object, they are not stereotyped people who value the family, and Bai Yuming meets their requirements for their son-in-law.

Chu Yangcheng withdrew from the court, restored the identity of the Miss Chu family, and changed back to Chu Weiyan's name, the emperor did not pursue her charge of pretending to be a brother, but took pity on her experience and personally gave her and Ah Zheng a marriage. As for Princess Mingyang, after Ouyang Lingqi knew the cause and effect, he didn't pursue it anymore, and only let her go to the royal temple to practice according to her wishes. Beirong was originally beaten by A Zheng to the point that only a few cities around the capital remained, and now that the king of Beirong died in the capital, he naturally couldn't be held accountable, so he had to set up another king and truly surrender to the golden dragon.

When Chu Yangcheng restored Chu Weiyan's identity and returned to the Chu family, she had become the biggest leftover girl in the Chu family, and those cousins and sisters all came to see the jokes, but Chu Weiyan had been in the court for so many years, and with a light glance, those women obediently shut up. And her father is very regretful, Chu Weiyan is no longer the prime minister, and his status in the Chu family is naturally not as good as before, plus Chu Weiyan is now twenty years old, even if he has the name of the first beauty, it is difficult to find a good family, and he treats Chu Xuanyan's mother and daughter coldly.

Chu Xuanyan saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but think that her mother was not worthy, but she didn't expect her mother to let go after a few days.

On this day, Chu Shuyan was leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard, counting that the emperor's decree for marriage was about to come down, and she would soon leave the Chu family. Although she doesn't like the Chu family, she is somewhat nostalgic for the place where she has lived for twenty years.

"Why is it gone? I saw him coming this way. A maid's voice.

"Do you want to go in and ask, it's not good to lose the fifteenth young master. Another maid said.

"No, this is Miss Six's courtyard, I don't want to face Miss Six's frozen eyes. It's just a concubine, and when you're hungry, you'll naturally come back. The former maid said this, and then took the other and left.

Chu Xuanyan frowned, and thought about it, there were a total of fifteen children in her generation in the family, and the youngest was the fifteenth young master Chu Yangxue. The name is like a girl, and the person looks as delicate and cute as that child, she is only six years old this year, Chu Weiyan doesn't know much about her, but she doesn't seem to be as disgusting as other brothers and sisters.

Glancing into the courtyard, I saw the little boy hiding among the flowers, looking at her pitifully.

Chu Weiyan suddenly felt distressed, and couldn't help frowning, it seemed that after restoring her identity as a daughter, she became more and more sympathetic. But a younger brother is no threat to her.

Chu Weiyan stepped forward and picked up Chu Yangxue. Chu Yangxue had a bad life in the Chu family, his body was a little thin, but his eyes were extremely aura, and his eyes were pure, and he was really like his name, and he could not be defiled.

"Sister, Yang Xue is hungry!" the child said to Chu Chu very honestly.

Chu Xuanyan smiled and took a snack for him to eat, I have to say that other younger siblings or nephews, when they see him, they will only behave well-behaved, and they will never allow themselves to show a trace of badness, Chu Xuanyan likes this kind of frankness.

The next day, the emperor's decree on marriage came, and Ah Zheng had long wanted to marry Chu Weiyan back, so the wedding date was set for a month later. At this time, Chu Weiyan's status in the Chu family has obviously improved, her husband's family is the emperor's most prominent palace, and her fiancé is a young general and the prince of the palace, and she is jealous of the Chu family.

Chu Xuanyan impatiently sent the sisters who came over to congratulate, and was about to rest for a while, when she saw her mother coming. Mrs. Chu was a very gentle woman, and when she saw that her daughter had a trace of tiredness on her face, she asked her daughter to lie down in distress, and she sat on the edge of the bed to talk to her daughter. After sitting for a while, Mrs. Chu was about to leave, but Chu Shuyan grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mother, you tell your father to keep Yangxue by your side." Chu Weiyan knew that Chu Yangxue's biological mother had already died, and it was because of this that she would be bullied. My brother died early, and now I am getting married, and my mother is at home, so I have to rely on another person.

Mrs. Chu was slightly stunned, understanding her daughter's worries, so she nodded and agreed.

A month later, Chu Weiyan got married, covered with a red hijab, Chu Weiyan left the Chu family who had lived for 20 years, and through the hijab, she saw the reluctance in her mother's smile, and didn't care about the jealous eyes of those cousins and sisters, and took a sedan chair, Chu Weiyan entered the door of King An's mansion.

Through the red hijab, I vaguely saw Ah Zheng's bewitching appearance in red, and her heart was warm, once she thought that she would never have the opportunity to join hands with him, but she didn't expect that now she is wearing a wedding dress and has become his wife. After worshipping the church, Chu Weiyan was sent into the cave room by the bride and waited for Ah Zheng.

She was the only one in the new house, Chu Shuyan couldn't help but start thinking nonsense again, and it wasn't until late that Ah Zheng pushed the door in, picked up the red hijab on Chu Wei's cigarette butt, held his newlywed wife in his arms, and whispered: "Xiaoyan, you are finally my wife." ”

Chu Weiyan enjoyed Ah Zheng's warm embrace and quietly listened to Ah Zheng's words. Chu Weiyan got up early today, and after tossing this day, he was really tired, and he began to be confused after a while. Ah Zheng smiled, and wanted to help Chu Shuyan untie his clothes and rest together, but he didn't expect Chu Shuyan, who was originally in a daze, to accurately grab his hand at this time.

"Smoke, tonight is our wedding night, we should rest early. Ah Zheng leaned into Chu Xuanyan's ear and said in a low voice.

But seeing Chu Weiyan glaring at Ah Zheng, he whispered a word in Ah Zheng's ear, so he took off his clothes and lay down to rest, and Ah Zheng, sitting on the bed, looked incredulous, but in the end he couldn't, so he had to hug Chu Shunyan and sleep peacefully.

A year later, the palace hung red silk again, this time, it was Ouyang Jinnian who got married, and the groom was naturally Bai Yuming. Early in the morning, Chu Xuanyan, the sister-in-law, combed Ouyang Jinnian's hair, and the bride herself held her little nephew, that is, Ouyang Xinchen, the son of Ah Zheng and Chu Xuanyan, and had a lot of fun, where was there a little bit of the bride's crying meaning. It's also true, Baicao Villa is not far from the palace, and Bai Yuming is so fond of Jinnian that she can't do more, and it's not a matter of a few steps for her to come home.

When it was auspicious, Ah Zheng sent Jinnian to Baicao Villa, looking at the sedan chair that was getting farther and farther, Ning Er sighed "old", Shen Yanling put her arm around his wife's shoulders and said: "The children are all older, in the future, the palace will be handed over to Ah Zheng, and I will accompany you to enjoy the mountains and rivers, okay?"

Ning Er glanced at her daughter-in-law, took her grandson away from Chu Xuanyan's hand, walked back, and said, "I'm going with you, Xiao Xinchen won't kiss me when I come back, wait for Xinchen to recognize someone and then leave!"

Shen Yanling looked at his wife's back, and suddenly realized that his current rival in love was the grandson in front of him, who was less than half a year old, and secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind to abduct his wife.

Ten days later, Shen Yanling played Emperor Ouyang Lingqi to pass the throne to his son Ah Zheng, and directly packed his wife away, leaving Ah Zheng to take over his father's burden with great dissatisfaction. Looking back, the gentle wife gently shook her son's cradle, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was also evacuated.
