Chapter 187: What She Saw Before She Died

His words blocked everything Chu Zhao wanted to say, so that Chu Zhao couldn't refuse.

After a while, the group escorting Chu Zhao set off again, and there was one more conversation in the team.

Chu Yi stood in place, raised his head, and looked at the young man on horseback, his eyes clear and clear in the snow.

She said, "Fourth brother, may you have a smooth journey, and there will be a period in the future."

"We'll see you later." Chu Zhao nodded, and after speaking, he took the reins and turned around, stepping into the white expanse of wind and snow.

If there is a period in the future, a hundred years of life, there will always be a time for them to see each other again.

Chu Yi looked at their backs, looked at the row of horseshoe prints in the snow, until they turned into small black dots, she also got on the horse and said, "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, let's go back."

Xiao Yan took her hand and unfolded her palm.

Chu Yi's white and delicate fingertips and palms have extremely small wounds, all of which are caused by carving and cutting wood.

"Why don't you tell him that the wooden kite was made by your own hands from beginning to end, and I never taught you any carpentry." Xiao Yan's tone carried a hint of distress that could not be concealed.

Chu Yi withdrew his hand and smiled slyly: "I only hope that when Chu Zhao sees this kite in the future, he will be able to remember my happy appearance, remember the beauty of our childhood, and think of you, not those things later."

The escort team marched for a while, and Tan Feng stepped forward to the rear of Chu Zhao's side.

He was puzzled and said, "Son, you have already drawn a clear line with the Fan family, and it was you who wrote to Su Jingyuan and told him about the sins that the Fan family had done in Beifu that made him choose to return to Beijing.

If you tell Your Majesty these merits and defend yourself, you will never be like those Fan family members, who have been forced to labor for thirty years, how can you bear it......

There can be several thirty years in a lifetime, and if His Highness really does thirty years of hard labor, it will be more than half a hundred years old, and he will be in his twilight years.

Tan Feng chose to follow Chu Zhao, so he would not be afraid of those thirty years, but he was heartbroken for Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao rode on his horse and looked back.

Chu Yi, who was dressed in white, was completely invisible, only Xiao Yan sat on the Xia Ying Horse, like a crumbling flame in the wind and snow.

He gently touched the wooden kite placed at the mouth, his eyes were relieved and calm, and said:

"Whether I write that letter or not, Su Jingyuan will wake up, so I didn't do anything. But the sins I have committed over the years are real, and I deserve to be punished."

What's more, he always had a thought in his heart telling himself that this was already his best result.

From then on, he was accompanied by the kite she made herself, and he will always be her fourth brother, too...... Just her fourth brother.

"Chu Yi, I only wish you a safe life, always good health, and many joys."

Chu Zhao muttered in a low voice, his voice drowned out in the wind.

When I returned to Shangjing, the heavy snow finally stopped.

At the gate of the city, the city guards saw Chu Yi appear and immediately let her go, and the people around learned her identity, and they were all a little excited.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan frowned, he felt that someone was peeping in the dark, and looked at it quietly.

In the bustling crowd, there was a man wearing a hat and a coarse cloth robe who was looking in the direction of the city gate, as if bidding farewell to the departing Chu Zhao.

Chu Yi followed Xiao Yan's line of sight, and saw that the man seemed to be aware, lowered his head suddenly, and turned to leave.

"That's ......" Chu Yi's eyes widened in shock, trying to find Xiao Yan with better eyesight to be sure.

Xiao Yan nodded.

The man's back was slightly rickety, his steps were slow, and he gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Chu Yi had already guessed his identity.

She blinked and smiled, "Let's go, this palace is going to Changle Fang."

Chu Zhao's brows furrowed: "Huh?"

"Didn't Chu Zhao say that there was something he wasn't sure about, I was going to ask Sister Fengmian if I didn't know about Mrs. Mei seven years ago."

Chu Zhao was reluctant, and it wasn't until Chu Yi left that he reluctantly followed.

You just need to make sure that you really go to Lu Fengmian to inquire about things, not to drink and listen to music."

Chu Yi: "I've gone all the way, how can I not have a drink."

Chu Zhao: "Then why do you want to listen to music?"

Chu Yi said again: "It's all here, how can you not take care of Sister Fengmian's business."

Chu Zhao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "That seems to be your own business."

"Then you need to take care of it even more." Chu Yi said seriously.

「……」

The two of them walked noisily to Changle Fang, but in the cold palace at this moment, it was a different scene.

Today is the day of Chu Zhao's exile.

Fan Qiongran sat in her room in the cold palace in a daze, looking at the rays of sunlight that came in through the crack in the door.

"It's time...... she muttered, at this hour, Chu Zhao had already left Shangjing.

"Why doesn't Zhao'er see me, why doesn't he come to see me when he leaves?"

Fan Qiongran couldn't figure it out.

She recalled the words that the palace maid who came back had passed on to her on Chinese New Year's Eve a few days ago.

Chu Zhao said that he and she would never see each other again in this life.

Aren't they biological mothers and sons? Isn't everything she has done for him, why does he refuse to even see him now, and wants to watch their Fan family leave one by one, and want to kill his uncle!

"Chu Zhao, you are so ruthless...... You and Su Jingyuan, you are so ruthless." Fan Qiongran's eyes were plated with a layer of scarlet, and they were gradually filled with resentment.

She suddenly stiffened her feet, walked to the door, and peered hard through the crack in the door.

There was no one outside the house, there was no one, and there was not enough charcoal fire in the house, and she shivered with cold.

"I am the daughter of the Fan family, I am the princess of Chu, and I am ...... I am a virtuous concubine respected by everyone in the palace!" Fan Qiongran said, untying the white belt around her waist, "I still want to be the queen mother!" Empress Dowager Dayan!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, almost roaring and screaming out that sentence, and her pale face turned a little red.

"It's not true, it's a dream, I, I'm the Queen Mother, Gu Sangsang, that woman, will never be able to compare to me!"

Fan Qiongran threaded the strap through the beams in the room, and then laboriously climbed onto the wooden chair.

The former flower and moon appearance have been ruthlessly corroded by the years, and now she is skinny and pale, no one can imagine that this is actually the first beauty in Beijing that year.

"Gu Sangsang, you will never be able to compare to me! Forever!" After Fan Qiongran finished saying this, she raised her hand, grabbed the belt, and put her head into the circle.

"Smack—"

She knocked over the wooden chair underneath her feet.

At the last moment of her life, she saw a sea of fire.

Could it be her afterlife...... Could it be that she finally became the queen mother?

Thinking like this, Fan Qiongran's originally broken eyes suddenly widened, and she almost wanted to pop her eyes out, trying to see everything in front of her.

The tongue of fire is so hot, it looks like a real experience.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a black dragon robe, covered in blood, with a blood-dripping sword in his hand, walked up to her.

Those amber phoenix eyes burned with monstrous hatred, like tyrannical beasts, without a trace of reason.

"You are Xiao ......"

Before Fan Qiongran could speak, the man had already swung his sword.

The next moment, her head soared into the sky, and the world was turned upside down.

Why?!

Why did the person who killed her be that Yongguo proton Xiao Yan?!

And why, is he wearing a dragon robe? Could it be that he returned to Yongguo and became the emperor!

Fan Qiongran was filled with endless unwillingness and hatred, tilted her head and cut off her breath.

I don't know how long later, after a little eunuch who brought her food knocked on the door, the house was not in the house for a long time, so he had to push the door in.

When the little eunuch saw the corpse hanging from the beam, he was almost frightened, stumbled out, threw away the lunch box and shouted.

"Concubine Sin

Clan...... Dead! Fan is dead!"

As soon as Chu Yi and Xiao Yan returned to the palace, they learned the news that Fan Qiongran had committed suicide by hanging a beam, and immediately rushed to the cold palace.

"This woman ......"

After seeing Fan Qiongran's dead corpse with his own eyes, Chu Yi sighed, not knowing what to say.

Previously, neither the Fan family nor Fan Qiong mentioned anything about Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Mei in the crimes they confessed in the secret interrogation, after all, they had been dead for many years, and the cause of their deaths at that time was also illness.

Now that Fan Qiongran is dead, there is no way to find out.

"After all, the Fan family is the fourth brother's mother, bury her, and then send a message to the fourth brother." Chu Yi reluctantly explained.

As soon as Chu Zhao left Beijing, Fan Qiongran died, and I don't know what he felt in his heart.

"As for the deaths of those two ladies...... For the time being, it can only be considered to be a death from illness."

Xiao Yan looked at the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground, thoughtful.

Did this woman also die in a previous life? He doesn't quite remember.

*

The winter snow melts, and everything rejuvenates.

Su Bai has arrived in Beifu, took over Su Jingyuan's position, and inherited Su Jingyuan's title of Marquis of Guannei, he has changed from Su Jingyuan's nephew to Su Jingyuan's stepson.

His official position is only a general for the time being, and if it is a major decision, the eldest prince has to be responsible.

As soon as Su Jingyuan died, the barbarians on the border of Beifu began to move again.

Chu Yi couldn't help but be a little worried, Su Jingyuan was not dead in his previous life, and he would only raid Jianbei Pass after three years, but this time, Su Jingyuan's death might make them act in advance.

But fortunately, when Su Bai first arrived in Beifu, he personally went to Jianbei Pass to train his troops, with strict requirements and serious patrols, and the barbarians did not dare to attack easily.

Chu Rin saw that Su Bai was in the North Mansion, and Yi Yun was loved by the Empress Dowager, so he stayed in Shangjing with peace of mind, and accompanied Chu Yi to Shanglin Yuan to ride a horse and shoot arrows with Yi Yun, and was very happy.

- By the way, I also pulled up Chu Yao, who has always disliked martial arts the most.

Sometimes, growing up can be a matter of moments.

Chu Zhao had been away from Beijing for more than half a month, Chu Yao listened to his words, followed the vine, disposed of several people who were finally hidden in the palace by the Fan family, and then silently found Chu Rin, hoping that he could teach him martial arts.

Chu Rin said that he would have to return to Beifu after a while, and if he wanted to practice martial arts, it would be better to find a teacher who had been in Beijing for many years.

In the end, Chu Yao found Cen Xiao and began to learn martial arts step by step, which was even harder than Chu Yi before.

Chu Yao said, "The fourth brother is gone, and in the future, the younger brother will protect the little six."

Chu Rin, Chu Ye and Chu Yun ignored him.

During this time, the Yongguo was extremely honest, but the Jin Kingdom was completely chaotic because of the death of the old Jin Emperor.

When Xiao Yan received the news from Jiang Mufan, he was listening to a story in the teahouse with Princess Yongning, who was dressed as a man.

"Let's say that the battle of the Hou in that pass is only in Morton, one horse and one gun, sweeping through a hundred people, so that the barbarians are frightened, and they dare not attack the Sword Gate Pass for half a step! Morton was furious and went into battle in armor himself...... I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown."

The storyteller said with a dry mouth, and the people in the audience were concentrating, and when they heard the key places, they didn't expect him to stop, and they were all angry and anxious.

Chu Yi tugged at his pigtails and said, "This storyteller has the potential to be a storyteller, I really want to introduce it to Lu Rushuang, let them become friends, and make up nonsense together...... Write books and biographies."

"What you say makes sense, maybe this gentleman can also inspire Lu Rushuang's writing." Xiao Yan smiled, and at this time, a strange man walked towards them.

Xiao Yan saw the unique logo on the man's waist and said, "It's a person who is worthy of the building."

Chu Yi nodded: "Control the Crane Division, release the people."

The man handed a note to Xiao Yan and left in a hurry, and after Xiao Yan read it, he stood up suddenly: "Something happened."

Chu Yi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Wei Yuanshan failed to seize the throne and is in danger, Jiang Mufan, the elder brother of the title, has escorted him to Shangjing, and is now in the dark spot of the Shameless Building in Beijing."

"Wei Yuanshan? The Great Prince of the Jin Kingdom?"

"Exactly, he is still Wei Rudai's sibling brother, and at the beginning, he stayed in Yongguo to protect me." Xiao Yan frowned and said.

Wei Yuanshan really failed to seize the throne, and he had a faint feeling in his heart before that he would not be so smooth if he wanted to inherit the throne.

Chu Yi thought back to the events of her previous life, she didn't know what happened in the battle for the throne of the Jin Kingdom, but she knew that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Later, Xiao Yan was able to return to Yongguo smoothly from Yan Kingdom, and it seemed that he also had the help of Wei Yuanshan.

As for Wuzhilou, he said that his current failure to seize the throne should only be temporary.

Perhaps, in his previous life, he also came to Beijing to ask Xiao Yan for help?

She immediately said, "Wei Yuanshan has a special identity, as long as he is alive, he will still be the most powerful contender for the throne of the Jin Kingdom, don't worry about me, you go and save him!"

That's a lot of favor.

Xiao Yan smiled, and Chu Yi almost told himself that "Wei Yuanshan is the future emperor".

He grabbed Chu Yi with his backhand, interlocked his fingers with her, and said, "The minister naturally wants to save him, but the minister is now the princess's guard, and if he does anything, he should report to the princess and obtain the princess's consent, let's go."

"Hongu didn't say I didn't agree, wait, you mean...... I'll go too?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

Chu Yi hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and was about to put it on the table, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it back into his arms, took out a few copper plates again, and put them on the table where the two of them were drinking tea: "Wait for the next time this storyteller is no longer Kawen, give him the silver."

Xiao Yan led her to the door of the teahouse, directly hugged her waist, lifted her to the back of the horse effortlessly, and then rode it himself.

"Of course the princess is going," his hot breath fell on Chu Yi's ears, and his tone was low, "Wei Yuanshan is the minister's uncle, the minister hasn't seen him for many years, and the princess has to be brave for the minister."

Chu Yi: "What is strong!"

She had never seen Wei Yuanshan before, and she was fine, but when she heard Xiao Yan emphasize that Wei Yuanshan was his uncle, she was even more nervous, okay?!
