Chapter 249: Xin'er
"So Lan Yu was thrown into the moat because Lan Chengjie fell?" Rong Zhan felt incredible. There is such a ruthless and unrighteous man in this world, who is so ruthless to his own women.
Looking inside through the window, Lan Yu slept peacefully on the bed, like the legendary scenic Sleeping Beauty Mountain.
"Will she hear us?" asked Rong Zhan again.
Yuan Xi nodded, Rong Zhan suddenly felt speechless, and pulled Yuan Xi to the pavilion in the courtyard to talk.
"There is no mention of pardoning Lan Yu in the father's decree, listening to the meaning of the eunuch Xu, the father has no intention of keeping her alive. Yuan Xi pursed his lips and looked at Rong Zhan sadly: "Although the law of Great Chu is like this, Lan Yu is too pitiful. ”
Rong Zhan was silent for a moment and asked, "Father is for Chenxiang?"
"These days, I don't dare to let my eldest brother enter the house, and I always ask someone to pack the books in the study and send them to his home to read, and my father and grandmother are also scared, for fear that my eldest brother will know about it. The eldest brother loves Lan Yu, and if he knows about Lan Yu, he will definitely be devastated. ”
"But this matter must not be hidden. ”
Rong Zhan's silent appearance made Yuan Xi a little frightened, put his arm on Rong Zhan's shoulder, and asked in a daze, "You don't want her to die too, do you?"
Rong Zhan raised his face, staring at Yuan Xi's stunned expression, and his eyes were a little confused. grabbed her hand and squeezed it: "You want to save her?"
Yuan Xi bowed slightly: "Although I understand my father's distress in doing this, Lan Yu is here, how can the eldest brother accept the incense? But don't you think Lan Yu is too pitiful? was first forced to marry by the fourth master, and then was sent to the fourth master's mansion as a bargaining chip." At the age of a beautiful flower, she turned into a paralyzed person. In addition, the fourth master didn't care about it, and he wanted to kill her. Now she finally picked up a life, but her father refused to let her go. I just think it's so unfair to God to her. ”
It's unfair, but there are so many people in the world, and God may not be able to take care of everyone, there will always be someone like Lan Yu.
"We can save her. ”
Yuan Xi was quite surprised, she thought that Rong Zhan would get in the way of Chen Xiang's marriage, and she also ignored Lan Yu's life and death, but she didn't expect him to agree so happily.
Rong Zhan smiled: "You seem surprised?"
Yuan Xi shook his head: "It's moving, I thought you wouldn't agree." ”
Rong Zhan pulled her into his arms, clasped his hands, put his chin on her shoulder, and said: "Actually, I don't want to agree, after all, Chen Xiang is my sister, and selfishly, I really don't want Lan Yu to be between Cheng Yong and Xiang'er." But I know that Lan Yu is right in front of you, if you can't save her, you will feel guilty all day long, and I can't bear to torture yourself like this. ”
A warmth rippled in his heart, Yuan Xi hugged his neck and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips: "Ah Zhan, you are so good." ”
"Naturally. Rong Zhan was slightly complacent.
"It's just that eunuch Xu said something that day, who has no parents and no children. He also advised me not to beg my father, lest I lose face and my father would not be happy. Yuan Xi put his arms around Rong Zhan's neck and leaned his cheek on his shoulder: "I thought of an idea before, which was to replace Lanyu with a heinous death row inmate, but I didn't know who to go to." ”
Although Rong Zhan knows all the people in Dali Temple, he has no deep friendships. Moreover, the emperor's cronies are installed up and down the Dali Temple, and on the surface, they are ministers in the same hall, but in private they are guarding against each other, and no one dares to exceed the rules, for fear of being discovered by the secret agents installed by the emperor. A complaint was enough for them to drink a pot before the emperor drove it, so these officials in Dali Temple had never done anything greedy for favoritism.
"Don't go, it's useless to look for them, if you can't get them to refer to you in front of your father, it's not good to spread it. Rong Zhan said: "If we can't ask our father for this matter, we can only rely on ourselves." ”
On his own? Isn't he going to send Lan Yu away like he did when he sent Li Lin away?
"The courtyard where Li Lin lived in Guiyunzhou is still empty, I think I can find a few safe people, send Lanyu over, and find a few more people to serve carefully. Do you say okay?"
Won-hee nodded, it would be great if he could really do this. But if someone from Dali Temple asks for it, who should she hand it over? Can she find a woman in the world who is exactly like Lan Yu?
Exactly the same? It seems that there really is one! Yuan Xi suddenly remembered that on the day Zhao Kezhen framed herself, the woman who looked exactly like Ling'er, she was very good at disguise. As long as you hand over a fake Lanyu first, you can buy some time for the real Lanyu to escape. Let the fake Lanyu restore its original identity, so that you can make an illusion of Lanyu escaping, the fake Lanyu retreats with her whole body, the real Lanyu wanders the world, the true and false is a scene, and it may not be possible to find out in a year and a half.
By then, Lan Chengjie's case would have been settled down long ago, and Lan Yu's escape would become an unsolved case.
Since Yuanxi brought the little girl back, she hasn't seen her again, and Mother Zhong gave her a name called Xin'er, which means that she wants her to be a new person and no longer listen to the mercy of bad people.
"Then I'll arrange it, the sooner the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”
Yuan Xi stood up, but Rong Zhan still held her hand, and Yuan Xi's face flushed a little crimson: "What are you doing?"
Rong Zhan smiled: "I helped you with such a big thing, how can you thank me?"
Yuan Xi blinked: "Didn't Fang Cai thank you?"
Rong Zhan pointed to the corner of his lips, and said with the kiss just now: "This thank you gift is too light." ”
"And what do you want?" Won-hee was puzzled.
Rong Zhan stood up, stroked Yuan Xi's waist, and whispered a few words in her ear, and Yuan Xi punched him in the chest: "Aren't you just now?"
"Just now, tonight is tonight," he said and patted Won-hee twice on his shoulder blade, "At night, I'll wait for you in your room." ”
Yuan Xi went out of the yard and asked Zhong's mother to find Xin'er. Xin'er is clearing the snow in the backyard, and the people are piling up the snow in the Taiping Tank, she is petite, and she is a girl's family, so naturally she is not as fast as those men who are five big and three thick.
Who in the prince's mansion doesn't know that this new child was brought over from the palace by the crown princess, and it was she who colluded with Concubine Zhao to frame the crown princess. Therefore, no one treats her as a person, and anyone dares to bully her, even those who were angry in the house in the past, but now they can be angry with Xin'er. knows that Xin'er has offended the crown princess, and there is no one to support her in the house, even if she is angry, she can only endure it.
When Mother Zhong arrived, Xin'er had just been kicked twice and curled up on the ground. Seeing that Mother Zhong was coming, the servant who kicked people still felt a little unreasonable, so he added: "See if you dare to be lazy!"
Mother Zhong lowered her eyes slightly: "Xin'er, come with me." ”
Xin'er raised her head, rubbed her bruised legs, got up and followed Mother Zhong. She had never had a chance to walk in the front yard since she entered the house, so she felt remote when she saw any road.
"Mother Zhong, where are we going?"
Mother Zhong said indifferently: "The master wants to see you." ”
Xin'er has been waiting in the mansion for these days, always thinking that the crown princess will secretly execute her. The previous Concubine Zhao also said that the royal battle can only be successful, undefeatable, once defeated, it will be shattered, and there will be no place to turn over. What's more, the Miss Wei family also said that the crown princess was ruthless and scheming. He had harmed her, so how could she give up?
"What's the matter?" asked Xin'er timidly.
"You'll know when you get there. Mother Zhong replied without replying.
Are you going to do it to yourself? These days, the crown princess just told her to do some rough work, and there is a monthly amount of silver to take, as if she had forgotten all about that incident, and now what? Wait until the rumors have passed before killing herself to vent her anger?
It's a pity that it happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to explain the aftermath to my family, and the broken silver hidden in the pillow didn't have time to hand it over to the family.
Xin'er took a long breath, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and recited Amitabha.
Oh my God, open your eyes.
Xin'er followed Mother Zhong all the way to a room with carved beams and paintings, and the princess sat at the table drinking tea. Xin'er looked around and saw a beautiful girl lying quietly on the bed, looking dexterous like a newborn little red fox. Xin'er couldn't help but look at it twice, and Mother Zhong gave her a cold look: "What are you looking at?"
Xin'er lowered her head: "The slave maid asks the princess and the princess to say goodbye." ”
Yuan Xi slowly put down the teacup and asked, "Didn't you hear what Mother Zhong said just now?" What are you looking at?"
Xin'er was startled, and looked sideways at the girl on the bed: "Back to the mother, the slave is looking at that girl." ”
Yuan Xi nodded: "You get up, stand by her bed, and see her face clearly." ”
Xin'er answered, carefully observing Lanyu's facial features. There is such a beauty in this world, not as cold and glamorous as the crown princess's appearance, not as enchanting as Concubine Zhao, and not as charming as the eldest lady of the Wei family, but it has a unique charm.
"Is she pretty?" asked Won-hee.
Xin'er nodded: "Beautiful." ”
"If you pretend to be her, will you?"
Xin'er was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Mother Zhong smiled and said nothing, Yuan Xi said lightly: "You once framed this concubine, but this concubine saw that you were pitiful, not only did she not kill you, but also brought you to the mansion to be a subordinate." Do you know why?"
Xin'er pondered for a moment and said, "It's the mother who is generous and tolerant of Xin'er." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head: "Wrong, the reason why I kept you is because of one of your skills." ”
Xin'er was stunned for a moment: "Niangniang is talking about the disguise technique?"
"At such a young age, where did you learn these crooked arts?"
Xin'er lowered her head and said, "When I was a child, I didn't have anything to play with, so I figured it out by myself." At first, it was made with resin, and later it was also made with pigskin, which was easy to dry and could only be used as an old lady's face. The one I used last time was a glue that the eldest son of the Zhao family got from the seaside, which is more effective than resin and pig skin. ”
"It's a talent. Mother Zhong exclaimed.
"Xin'er, since you have this ability, are you willing to work for this concubine?"
