Volume 3: Exquisite Dice An Red Bean 174: Intercession

Zhang Yan looked at Sister A's eyes, their sister and brother grew up together since childhood, and they can best distinguish each other's minds. In the end, he finally admitted in frustration that his sister's eyes were open, and she was telling the truth.

"What's so good about him?" He stamped his foot and asked, "Is there anything better than Yan'er?" ”

"It's different." Zhang Yan laughed, "You are my brother, I hope you are well." But, I, "want to be with him for the rest of my life."

"But he's not good to you." He didn't give up.

"Yan'er, you only saw me sad for him, but you didn't see me happy for him." Zhang Yan said, "Actually, he is good enough to me." He often came to Jiaofang Hall to accompany me, was willing to listen to all the unbelievable things I said, supported me to participate in politics, never doubted that he was willing to eat my cooking, and under the framing of Wang Long, he still didn't say a word to me......"

Zhang Yan counted them one by one, and suddenly realized that Liu Ying was really good to herself.

In addition to not being able to cross the barriers of the world to love her, he has always been very good to himself to the maximum limit of what he can do for himself.

It's a pity that she couldn't get such a gentle and good person in the end.

"So, Yan'er. Once upon a time, you always asked me if I was happy. Zhang Yan retracted her sadness and looked at her younger brother, "Maybe you listened to some words and watched some things, so you thought about it crankily, thinking that I was suffering and unhappy." ”

"Now, I'll answer you seriously. Over the years, I haven't felt unhappy. ”

Because, everyone's happiness is not defined by worldly judgment, but by what she wants. I begged for kindness, just right. ”

"Sister," Zhang Yan muttered movingly.

"I didn't know it was like that. I don't seem to understand something. ”

"Look," Zhang Yan chuckled, "I said that you are still a child, you don't understand, I didn't lie to you." I was with your uncle, and although I was sad at times, I also had a lot of happiness. It's all my own willingness, you don't have to hold grievances for me. ”

Wait until you meet someone in the future who you are willing to cry for her and laugh for her. You will understand Sister A's feelings.

"Sister," Zhang Yan threw himself into her arms, crying. "I won't dare in the future. I heard that my uncle was shot by them with an arrow, and the arrow was poisonous. I was also terrified. I didn't want anything like that. I just thought, is he the emperor, the emperor is always accompanied by a large number of periods of troops at any time. Even if the group knew his whereabouts, they couldn't do anything about him. At most, I didn't know that it would be like this, and I didn't know that he was injured by the assassin in order to save you. ”

He was also terrified this time.

"Sister, I won't dare next time."

"Next time. Do you want to have a next time? Zhang Yan couldn't help but be annoyed, "Do you know the seriousness of this kind of thing?" If it's an ordinary family. If you fool your uncle so much, he will beat you up at most. But your uncle is still the emperor, do you know that if anyone has a relationship with the murderer of the king, the people involved will either die or be injured. At the beginning, my father was deposed as a marquis, because he was involved in the murder of the king. This time your business is known. There is a good chance that he will be convicted of it again. Even you, sister, and I have to avoid the crime of the marquis of the Jiaofang Palace? ”

And Empress Lu.

If Empress Lu knew. If Empress Lu knew about Yan'er, Zhang Yan was frightened and didn't dare to think about it.

Over the years, she has always felt that in Empress Lu's heart, the first important thing is her son Liu Ying, and next, her lover and daughter Lu Yuan should be ranked second. Among the grandsons, Yan'er was originally more valued as a male grandson, but because of some opportunities in his childhood, he should be on par with Yan'er in Empress Lu's heart. Later, he married Liu Ying, and in the eyes of Empress Lu, she was probably heavier than Yan'er.

If Empress Lu knew that Liu Ying's assassination this time would have a credit to Yan'er, Zhang Yan's palms were sweaty, and she really didn't know what would happen.

"Sister," Zhang Yan changed color at what she said, and said tremblingly, "My brother knows it's wrong." But if you don't do it, you've already done it, and now, what should I do? ”

"What to do, what to do? How do I know what to do? Zhang Yan couldn't help but turn her head and wipe her tears, fortunately, Liu Ying was fine this time, if he really had three strengths and two weaknesses, and he knew that it was related to Yan'er, what should he do?

"Yan'er," she finally admonished, "don't tell anyone about this for the time being, not even your grandmother, do you know?" The last sentence was already spoken.

Zhang Yan was stunned and nodded.

When Lu Yuan picked up Zhang Yan, he didn't know anything about the past, and he didn't notice it at all, and the two children were smiling a little stiffly.

Zhang Yan fidgeted in the Jiaofang Palace, thinking that the most likely to bite Zhang Yan were the several assassins delivered to Tingwei by the Wei Wei Army, so he got up and ordered, "Please Yan Jiang come over." ”

"The officials of the Tingwei Mansion said that when the assassins were sent to the Tingwei Mansion, they were already out of breath and less in breath, and Xuan Tingwei could only guess from their clothes and weapons that they were sent to Beijing before the defeat of the King of Changsha, hoping that if they could assassinate His Majesty, they could also relieve the difficulties of the Changsha soldiers. Unexpectedly, the assassin had not yet been launched, and Changsha had already been defeated, so he made a desperate attempt to assassinate without nostalgia. Now, Xuan Tingwei is trying to find the traces of these assassins. Yan Qing said angrily.

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Got it." Thank you, Mr. Shoyuki. ”

In this way, at least the court lieutenant will not be able to get anything from the mouths of these assassins. She only hoped that God would bless her, and that would be the end of the matter.

It's not that she doesn't know that this is not good, but when people come to the end, they always have to favor their relatives.

Empress Zhang could think of sealing the mouth of the Changsha assassins, but after all, there was no way to seal the mouths of the people of Chang'an who were seen in the market that day.

Xuanyi was ordered to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the assassins killed in Xishi that day, and in Xiaoli, a vendor in a shop identified one of the assassins as having seen him, and he was picking up goods in the shop at that time, deliberately chatting about the affairs of the county officials, and the rich boy in the carriage next to him told about His Majesty's whereabouts, and soon after, the assassination took place in Xishi.

The children of the nobles in Chang'an City are not few, but they are not many of them, and Xuanyi quickly found out that he was talking about the prince of Xuanping. Knowing that Zhang Yan was special, he didn't dare to be good at it, so he told the Empress Dowager Lu and the emperor.

Hearing about this, Empress Dowager Lu was furious and ordered Peng Ce, the military captain of Changle Guard, to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to bring back the prince Zhang Yan.

"Mother." Zhang Yan's face turned pale, pulled Lu Yuan's coat, and begged, "I don't want to go with him." ”

Captain Changle, who was dressed in fish scale armor, arched his hand with a straight face, "The last general acted on the orders of the Queen Mother, offended, eldest princess." With a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to pull Zhang Yan away from Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at his son who was taken away, his face was pale, and his eyes were dark and he almost fell.

"Princess." Tu Tu hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"It's fine." She said, distressed and confused. It's not that she doesn't know that Zhang Yan has caused a big disaster this time, but she only has such a son, and she can't watch him get convicted. Hurry. "Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to go to Changle Palace."

"How did you teach such a bad son?" Empress Lu poked her head and scolded,

"The queen mother taught me a lesson." Lu Yuan only replied, but he was relieved in his heart, and Empress Lu scolded her like this. Although his face was severe, he had the intention of preserving it.

"Queen Mother, where is Yan'er now?" She couldn't help but ask, her eyes couldn't help but redden, "That child has never left my side since he was a child." ”

"I don't know." Lu Hou rolled her eyes. "As soon as I ordered him to be brought, His Majesty asked him to go. He is the emperor, and no one can stop him. This time, it was because of your son that he suffered such an unwarranted disaster. If you want to deal with it yourself, it is also justified. ”

When Zhang Yan rushed to the Xuanshu Palace, Lu Yuan was kneeling in front of the palace to plead guilty for his son. He never suffered the slightest bit, and knelt on the cold stone bricks at this time. After a while, I couldn't stand it, but I gritted my teeth and held on, and cold sweat was pouring down my face.

"Mother," Zhang Yan was distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, "The matter may not be as serious as you think, why do you want to do this?" ”

"Ah Yan," Lu Yuan came back to his senses, pushed her away and shook his head, "Don't persuade me, my son doesn't teach, my parents are at fault." Yan'er has caused a catastrophe this time, and I, the grandmother, kneel here for him, so as to alleviate his guilt a little. ”

Zhang Yan was anxious and asked the Huangmen eunuch who was standing on the side, "Did Your Majesty let the eldest princess kneel here?" ”

"Queen Mother," Xiao Huangmen smiled bitterly, "This is none of Your Majesty's business, the Imperial Doctor said that Your Majesty will raise it for so many days, and today will carry out the second poison pulling, before pulling out the poison, Your Majesty has already said that the eldest princess will return to the house, the eldest princess insists on refusing to go and kneel, and we can't stop us as slaves." Your Majesty is afraid that you don't know about this at all. ”

She knew that although her mother was gentle, her temper was also stubborn, and she couldn't persuade her at all. With a snort, he crossed Lu Yuan and hurriedly entered the Xuanshu Palace.

The palace people brought in basins of hot water one after another, and steamed out a piece of heat from the Xuanshu Palace. She stood outside the curtain and was inconvenient to enter, remembering that her mother was kneeling under Her Royal Highness, and as a daughter, how could she stand safely? So he slowly knelt down.

"Queen Mother," Chang Lu was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded. "Your Majesty has never scolded Niangniang, Niangniang, get up quickly."

She insisted on refusing to get up, and said, "You go and do your business, don't worry about me." ”

The sound of the hourglass ticking, Liu Ying's painful and low voice, Lu Yuan's sweaty appearance, and Yan'er's panicked face. Zhang Yan thought that her days in Chang'an, Han Dynasty, from the ninth year of the Han Dynasty when she was punished by Emperor Gao to kneel outside the Changle Palace, to now she ends up interceding for her younger brother before the Xuan Room. And the emperor in the palace has changed a person.

It seemed that a moment had passed, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and the imperial doctors came out with the medicine box on their backs, and when they saw this movement, they were silent and hurriedly withdrew.

In the hall, Chang Lu gently said something in Liu Ying's ear.

Liu Ying frowned, and ordered neatly, "You go outside and tell the eldest princess that she has to kneel outside all the time, and I, as a younger brother, can't rest assured." Let's go back first. ”

He turned his head to the curtain and shouted, "Ah Yan, come in." ”

"It's because the concubine and the godbrother are not strict," she said with a flat eyebrow, "I am willing to ask for forgiveness for my sins, and I dare not get up." ”

"Ah Yan," Liu Ying raised her voice, "do you want me to get out of bed and pull you in?" ”

When she heard this, she had to get up and come in, and when she saw Liu Ying changing into a middle coat, she was leaning on the couch, her face was still pale, and she beckoned to her.

"Your Majesty," Zhonghuangmen reported, "the eldest princess has already returned." ”

Liu Ying nodded and said annoyedly, "What are you doing, you have the same temper as your mother." ”

"I'm ......" Zhang Yan was about to speak, Liu Ying was already tired, "I'm very tired, I'll talk to you later." ”

He closed his eyes peacefully and fell asleep.

Zhang Yan was angry, Liu Ying obviously knew what she and her mother were begging him for, but she didn't mention Zhang Yan at all. She wanted to ask him directly what he wanted to do with Yan'er, but looking at his pale complexion and the blue-black color under his eyes, and remembering that this was all the suffering he had suffered on her behalf, he couldn't open his mouth for a long time, disturbing his rest.

When Liu Ying woke up again, it was already slightly dark outside the hall. His gaze fell on Zhang Yan's slender back outside the curtain, and the corners of his lips bent.
