Chapter 75: Inseparable
Liu Ya slept in a dark night, if it weren't for Liu Sigu banging on the door and crying and shouting and making noise, she felt that she could sleep for another day, but unfortunately the pouring rain had become a drizzling rain after singing all night and night, and she couldn't cover Liu Sigu's shouting in her throat, so she had to get up resignedly.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Sigu pushed away the dogwood that was in the way, grabbed Liu Ya's arm and said, "Ya Ya! Why did you send Xiu'er back to Lingzhou? What happened last night, why didn't she come back after she went out? Woo woo woo, I heard that you sent her back to Lingzhou overnight, what happened to the end? You tell the fourth aunt, you tell the fourth aunt honestly, she woo woo, isn't she already in love with my Dao?
Before she finished whimpering, there was a sudden quarrel and crying outside the door, Liu Ya raised her eyes helplessly, and saw Liu Yin dragging Xue Runcong in with a handful of snot and tears, "Cousin woo woo! I'm going to do it in the future, how to meet people!"
As soon as Liu Sigu heard that Liu Yin was accusing her son, the grievance just now turned into annoyance, and she protected Xue Jinxiu, who was dragged crookedly by Liu Yin, behind her and said, "Okay, you Liu Yin! You go out to give alms, your cousin is worried about you, and he deliberately accompanies you to protect you! As soon as you come back, you turn your face, you are in love with the son who came from Xungui, thinking that you will fly on the branches and become a phoenix, right?
"Bah!" Liu Yin retorted in a hissing voice, "What are you worried about me deliberately accompanying me to protect me? He and he whined and wooed at all because he didn't want to make me feel better, and deliberately embarrassed the face of our Liu family! Troublesome in the almsgiving team, knocking over hot porridge, splashing wet cotton clothes, and whining and teasing other people's little maids of Ji Gongzi, after being warned by Ji Gongzi, ran to harass the girl who came to receive Shi! I couldn't stop it, and at the end he took out his belly pocket embroidered with my name and shouted, I whined woo woo I don't live anymore——" She wiped her tears angrily and ashamedly and slammed into the corner of the table next to her, but fortunately, Mo Kaichan, who had just come in, quickly grabbed her with his hands and feet!
"No way! My son is not such a person! Our family has done it, and he is not a fool! Don't slander him!"
As soon as Liu Sigu's voice fell, Xue Runcong hurriedly echoed, "Liu Yin, don't think that by pretending to be wronged, you can deceive Liu Ya, and ask her to help you say some nice things in front of Ji Huansheng and promote good things for the two of you, although my usual style is not good, but I am still a person, how can I mess around with such a good deed as almsgiving?
Liu Yin, who was full of grievances, was almost so angry that he bleeds internally by his reversal of black and white, "You dare to distort the facts that so many pairs of eyes have witnessed! Your surname Xue is really not good, Xue Jinxiu helped Ruan Youyi slander his cousin and Zhihua in public——"
"What do you mean, how can my embroidery help Ruan Youyi slander Ya Ya and Zhihua in public!" Liu Sigu said impatiently.
"It's just that you don't know! Ruan Youyi jumped off the city tower to accuse her cousin of inciting rumors about Zhihua, last night your Xiu'er went out to the palace to help her testify in front of the emperor in an attempt to slander her cousin and Zhihua did have this thing, and that's why Xue Jinxiu was sent back to Lingzhou by her cousin overnight!" Liu Yin whimpered angrily, "Xue Runcong, do you really think that your cousin is as confused as your mother? As long as she sends someone to ask Ji Gongzi a little, how can there be anything that she doesn't know!" My cousin is going to give me justice, he's so shameless!!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Xiu'er won't hurt Ya Ya, there must be some misunderstanding here-" Liu Sigu grabbed Liu Ya's hand in a panic and said, "Ya Ya! You don't believe those differences! No matter how Xiu'er is, she is also your cousin, how can she harm you! You woo you let her come back, I will ask her clearly!" The tears that had just stopped trembling and falling like a broken faucet, "You woo you are also the fourth aunt who grew up with love, don't let others spoil the sisterhood between you and Xiu'er!"
"Mother, what do you say to an elder begging her to be a junior? Shangjing can't tolerate us, let's just go back to Lingzhou! Anyway, my sister has already gone back, and there's nothing good about going to Beijing, this is the rule and that's the rule, just take a step casually is a damn red tape, it's troublesome and boring, how free and easy you are in Lingzhou! You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to look at anyone's face to do things, let's start today——"
"Shut up, you know what-"
Liu Sigu forcefully interrupted her son's disapproving cries, but when she wanted to speak again, she heard Liu Ya sigh and say, " It's the fourth aunt who doesn't understand, my sisterhood with Xue Jinxiu has been worn out by her own hands in her repeated tosses, the fourth aunt doesn't know that she tried to drive a wedge between me and the Jiang family when she was a child, and also instigated the neighbor children to bully me, she was kind to me, all pretended to be shown to the fourth aunt, although I minded that the fourth aunt and her let my mother look for relatives, and specially came to Beijing to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but I finally met your request to take her to the honorable banquet, but she wanted to step on my blood and fly on the branches, and make false testimony and slander me in front of the god of the temple。 ”
"No, no, Xiu'er won't be like this——!" Liu Sigu shook her head in disbelief.
"It's today's Yin Yin, and it's also her ghost. Liu Ya coldly glanced at Xue Runcong, whose face changed after being exposed, "I originally thought that it would be okay for the fourth aunt and cousin to continue to stay in Shangjing, but now it seems that you are more suitable to return to Lingzhou, so you will follow your cousin's hope just now, let's set off today!"
"No! No, no, no! You can't just kill Xiu'er's hope! She, she, she, she has already found a marriage partner! Can you forgive her for her confusion this time? Finally, this time, you forgive her in front of the fourth aunt, and I will teach her a good lesson in the future, and ask her to apologize to you, you let her come back! The fourth aunt kowtowed to you-" Liu Sigu knelt down with tears in her eyes and wanted to kowtow, and Zhu Yu hurriedly helped her up again, but she cried and pushed Zhu Yu away and said, "Ya Ya woo! Your fourth aunt is such a daughter, you see that the fourth aunt has never treated your mother and you badly, forgive Xiu'er!
"The man she likes is in prison, so does the fourth aunt want Xue Jinxiu to come back and marry him?"
Liu Sigu, who tried to kneel down again, was completely stunned, as a mother, she naturally heard a little about who the man Xue Jinxiu liked was, but how could a good prince go to prison? Thinking that the excellent marriage was gone, she felt dizzy for a while, so she heard Liu Ya say lightly and non-negligently, "Send them back to Hsinchu Garden to clean up." ”
When Liu Sigu, who was crying and still wanted to struggle, and Xue Runcong, who was disdainful, left under the restraint of the guards, who were half coerced and half invited, Liu Yafang said to Liu Yin, who was still wiping her tears, "Later, I will make this misunderstanding clear with Ji Huan, you are tired from working for a long time, go back and have a good rest!"
Liu Yin bit her lip and couldn't hold back the ticking words in her heart, "Cousin, I really like Ji Gongzi, but, he doesn't seem to mean that to me, I have never asked my cousin for anything, but this time I really want my cousin to help me!" She sniffed and said, "I know that I like him as Gao Pan as a person, but as soon as I saw him, I liked him, all I think about these days is him, looking forward to giving him a good performance on this day, so that he can be more or less attentive to me, how did he be ruined by Xue Runcong!"
Liu Ya had a headache, "Feelings can't be forced, I'm just a princess from the West Desert here, and I don't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand to easily reverse other people's thoughts, especially Ji Huansheng, he is not as harmless as it seems on the surface, I don't approve of you having contact with him again." ”
Liu Yin shook her head disapprovingly, "Did my cousin misunderstand something?" Ji Gongzi is gentle and considerate, and he is very compassionate, and he will hold charity activities on the fifteenth day of every month, how can such a poor man be a gangster with a bad heart?"
"He's so good, so good, just dislike you is enough to make you stop worrying. ”
"Cousin. Liu Yin sobbed and cried again, "You can help me! I, I, I want to see him again! Woo, it doesn't matter if you can't make him like me, as long as I can see him again, I, I, I will try my best to make him like me, just create an opportunity for us to meet, please, cousin, woo woo! It's the first time I like a man so much, I don't want to woo woo I don't want to give up like this! Cousin is willing to satisfy Xue Jinxiu, why can't you also satisfy me?"
"......" Liu Ya was finally defeated in her sobbing, "I can create three chances for you, but if your relationship with him still doesn't change after three chances, don't expect me to help you again." ”
Liu Yin nodded gratefully and left with a smile.
Mo Kaichan, who had been sitting silently on the side since she came in, raised her hand and touched her pale face, "You are not a little fairy who has descended to the mortal world to specifically purify all sentient beings, and you don't need them to ask you for anything. ”
Liu Ya shook her head to indicate that she was okay, "If I can, I am still very willing to make them happy, but I am annoying you, I stared at Xue Jinxiu cautiously before, this matter can be solved satisfactorily thanks to Zen'er, it turned out that I asked you to come to Nanhan to let you play to your heart's content, but after I came, the trouble has not stopped, and I can't relax with you and Qiu Tong, I'm sorry." ”
"So I feel that I have come to the right place, if I just hear about these things by letter, I am afraid that I am afraid of trembling and worrying, it is great to be able to help you by your side like now, my mother died early, I am the only one in the huge palace, and I have lived in various military camps all year round to study, I can rarely feel the taste of ordinary (trivial) (broken) days, no matter how troublesome it is, it is more interesting than training day after day. ”
"It would be nice if Zen didn't regret this trip. Liu Ya thought of Mo Qiutong and Jiang Zhihua, who had not seen anyone for a long time, so she asked, "Where did Qiu Tong and Zhihua go?"
Zhihua took his cousin to visit He Na in the Luguo Mansion. ”
**
Palace.
Empress Fan signed her name at the end of the oiled paper full of neat fonts, and then pressed the red fingerprint, and looked back at the bright yellow figure that had been sitting on the side with traces of age, and the memories that had long been covered with thick dust suddenly rushed to her eyes, and she smiled sadly:
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that the second son of the emperor wanted to get rid of you, who did his best to hide from the sky and help you leave Shangjing smoothly?"
It took a long time for Emperor Jiayi to raise his eyelids to meet her eyes that had accompanied him for many years, "I remember that it was the girl from the Zhenguo Mansion who happened to go out of the city to worship the Buddha, it was the queen that your carriage helped me get out of trouble, and it was also the queen that indirectly contributed to the acquaintance between me and Ke'er, and I was very grateful to you." ”
"Do you hate me so much now?"
"Hate enough. ”
"How can it be? Your Majesty doesn't want to know what kind of poison Ning Ke is in, and how painful it is before he dies?" Empress Fan said quietly, "It turns out that my memory of this defeated general has long been forgotten, but as soon as Feng Zhaoyi appeared, I remembered again, she was born in Jiangmen but had a very charming face, and at the birthday banquet of the queen mother, who was still the queen, she took away my scenery that won the top prize in dancing arts, and then I knew that I and her were destined to be inseparable in this life and this life!"
Sure enough, she snatched you away, so the poison given to her was tortured by the heart! Once it was contaminated, it was like being cut off by a thousand knives to the flesh and bones, and the most interesting thing was that the poison would corrode her internal organs little by little, magnifying all the pain she suffered infinitely, and she couldn't help but tear and scratch her skin to try to stop the discomfort of drilling! But it's useless to tear the skin, and when she thinks that this gift is given to her by her lover who is about to ascend the throne, I'm afraid that she can't wait for Your Majesty to taste the despair in her at that time, and slowly die in the resentment of hating Your Majesty!"
She looked at Emperor Jiayi's dark face for a moment, and the eyes that had once stared at her intently under the stage were full of hatred, and she hooked her lips with satisfaction, "Your Majesty thinks that if you treat Feng Zhaoyi as Ning Ke, your heart will be better?
Emperor Jiayi didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, so he picked up the long and thick but neatly folded confession on the table and left, but somehow, he arrived at the Lingxiao Palace where Feng Zhaoyi lived in a trance.
In the newly built garden, planted with a large area of tea and plum blossoms that are blooming brightly, it seems that he can hear the report of the palace maid, Feng Zhaoyi came out of the palace, and saw that he was blessed with a blessed body, but he was missing the good-looking smile that always hangs on his lips on weekdays, and his bewitching face still had a heavy face that could not be hidden, "I was just thinking about when Your Majesty will be free today, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to come." ”
"I just happened to be passing by, Yao'er go back, I'll come to see you later. ”
"Uncle sent me some fruit tea, just brewed it, the temperature is just right, Your Majesty come in and have a drink before leaving!" Feng Zhaoyi stopped.
Emperor Jiayi still wanted to refuse, but Feng Zhaoyi had already pulled him into the hall, there was no half of the attendants in the hall full of light and sweet aroma, she took his hand and asked him to fall in the first seat, and then poured down a cup of tea that exuded a curling hot steam, "Although it is only made of cheap wild fruits, the taste is unique, I like it the most." ”
He took a shallow sip of the teacup in her expectant gaze, the thin acid mixed with the thick sweetness slowly melted into a rich tea flavor in his teeth and cheeks, and he listened to her say slowly, "But since I learned something about the family, I gave up everything I liked on weekdays, and it was not what my uncle and I wanted to be born in the Feng family to enjoy all the wealth, so we worked hard to change to clean the dirt hidden deep under the Feng family-" Before the words were finished, she resolutely knelt at the feet of Emperor Jiayi!
Emperor Jiayi's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to stop her, but when he touched her determined gaze, the words of escape were like a fish in his throat, and he could only listen to her continue, " Since ancient times, the battle between the rivers and lakes is as cruel as the court, if a sect wants to gain a firm foothold in the danger and take root, in addition to the need for strong property but also have a smart mind and superior martial arts, less of them, will not be able to stabilize the power, let alone want to strengthen the family, that is, my uncle was confused, he unscrupulously took away the martial arts secrets of the Plum Blossom Villa, coerced and lured the rich merchants of gold, silver and jewelry, and also found a profiteering business in the process, and pressed the entire Phoenix Villa, although it was in dilapidation but clean, into the dirty and dirty quagmire, and secretly grabbed business with the Fan family。 ”
“!”
Feng Zhaoyi took out a thick piece of rice paper stained with handwriting from her wide sleeve, "These are the crimes committed by the Feng family over the years recorded by Daddy and Uncle and the black-hearted money absorbed by the Feng family and the related accomplices of cooperation, as well as the shops opened by Daddy and Uncle to turn the tide and the population rescued and the assets of the Feng family. She bowed her head resolutely.
"Is that why you entered the palace?"
"Hmm. ”
Emperor Jiayi took the indictment and looked at the words and sentences in it one by one, the Feng family absorbed a total of more than two million taels of black-hearted money, and so far there have been 37,968 people involved in the trafficking case, and Phoenix Villa is willing to use all assets to atone for the crime, although there are also objections and attempts to break away from the Feng family with money, but they have all been subdued by Feng Zhiyang.
"Why do you have to expose this?"
"Uncle said, some things are wrong is wrong, admit that you must have the consciousness of losing everything, sneaky repentance is the practice of selfish cowards to hide their eyes and catch birds, we are the children of the rivers and lakes who stand up to the sky, we must bear what we should bear, so that we can be worthy of our hearts. "Only by taking out your dirt (handle) like this can Phoenix Villa start over.
"It's rare for the Feng family to have this awareness, there are many people in this world who try their best to escape or shirk after making mistakes, and those who can be as brave as the Feng family and try their best to correct them are really moving-" At this time, a soft female voice sounded leisurely, Emperor Jiayi raised his eyes, Feng Zhaoyi turned his face, and saw He Guifei coming slowly and calmly, she said harshly, " But the Feng family has always committed the mortal sin of losing all conscience and inhumanity, if Your Majesty forgives it lightly, it will inevitably be biased, he will be honest at sunset, so that the crowd is surging and uncontrollable, I am afraid that some unnecessary chaos will be born, and the foundation of our country will be prolonged!"
There is no impermeable wall in the world, the same crime, Empress Fan needs to judge herself, but Feng Zhaoyi carried the emperor's favor safe and sound, Emperor Jiayi will not only be detained as a faint monarch who is obsessed with women, but also chill the hearts of all the people and officials.
Emperor Jiayi naturally knew this truth, but he knew better that He Guifei would not appear here for no reason, and he said uncharacteristically, so he asked, "What does the concubine think should be done?"
He Guifei said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the concubine has a small suggestion, I wonder if Your Majesty would like to hear it?"
Emperor Jiayi bowed his head happily, and He Guifei slowly looked at Feng Zhaoyi and said, "Forgive the Feng family for sincere repentance, Your Majesty can give them poisonous wine to make them walk more comfortably, so that it will not be in vain for you and Feng Zhaoyi in the past few months." ”
**
Night falls.
Tian'er is finally willing to let go.
When Jiang Zhiyu looked for a small servant and told him that he would not come back for dinner, Mo Kaichan and Mo Qiutong, who had just returned from the Lu State Mansion, and Jiang Zhihua dined with Liu Ya as usual. ”
"Why should I thank you for such a trivial matter, Liu Ya's medicine is excellent, and the place where she has bitten has not even left a scar. "Mo Kaichan doesn't care about the authenticity.
Jiang Zhihua sighed reproachfully, "What the hell is to blame for this, if I hadn't always lobbied Xiao Na, she wouldn't have the courage to go out but be unlucky to encounter those bad things, she is extremely shy on weekdays, and the Manchurian brothers and sisters are only willing to get close to He Yi, with He Yi also accepting me, and trying very hard to open her heart, I really don't want her to return to the introverted and withdrawn appearance she used to be." ”
"He Na's situation is always a bit special, Chan'er should go for a trip, don't let her keep thinking about it and feel guilty all the time, and think that she is a trouble, and she is unwilling to go out again in the future. Liu Ya said after some consideration.
"Okay, I'll just go. Mo Kaichan agreed under their intently gaze.
Jiang Zhihua was about to express his happiness and gratitude, when he saw her personal maid Jin Ling rushing in excitedly and saying, "Miss!
