Chapter 057 of "The Painted Wife".

Kneeling for her husband's intercession

Stillborn, desperate to survive

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Murong Yan took a deep breath, and when the door opened, she suddenly knelt on her knees, and shouted loudly: "See the emperor!

Then, she supported herself on her knees, knelt forward, and shouted again: "See the emperor!

With each kneeling step, she would shout and kowtow. Repeatedly, kneeling a hundred steps, shouting a hundred times, kowtowing a hundred times, his knees were worn out, his forehead was broken, and the blood was bleeding, completely ignoring his nearly four months of pregnancy.

Suddenly, a stream of blood flowed out of itself, which was a clear precursor to miscarriage!

Zhao Gou was taken aback, remembering that Murong Yan was his niece after all, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Xianggong next to him sneered and said, "It's really strange, kowtowing can actually knock out a moon!"

The ministers next to him frowned secretly, Murong Yan's pregnant belly was obvious, others could see it, Qin Xianggong couldn't see it, but Yuwen Xuzhong couldn't stand it, and stood up and played to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Emperor Biyue is pregnant, and now she is bleeding under her body, I am afraid that it is a sign of miscarriage, but I am afraid of accidents, it is better to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment first, so as to show the emperor's grace and might......"

Qin Xianggong smiled coldly again and said, "Who are you, but you are quite good at thinking about her!"

Yuwen glared at him in a vain, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he immediately sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, but anyone who sees a pregnant woman begging like this will not be indifferent, you are also raised by your parents, how can you be so vicious?"

Qin Xianggong's face was pale, and he was furious, this Yuwen Xuzhong was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, resolute and upright, and the peace faction in the DPRK and China such as Qin Xianggong and Tong Xianggong were all participated in by him, even Wanyan Honglie, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan, when he invaded Bianliang, he was now scolding on the top of the city tower, today you embarrass me, tomorrow, I will kill you! Qin Xianggong gritted his teeth and secretly vowed to get rid of him. In the first month of the second year, Qin Xianggong seized the opportunity and pressed Yuwen Xuzhong into the prison for the crime of treason and defection to the enemy.

It is said that Murong Yan completely ignored the bleeding under her body, and in this cold wind, she gritted her teeth and insisted, knelt all the way, shouted all the way, kowtowed all the way, leaving a line of bloodstains, which made people feel the best of her heart, and all the ministers pleaded for her under the leadership of Yuwen Xuzhong.

However, the distance of 100 meters is close at hand, and it seems to be as far away as the end of the world for her at this moment, she gritted her teeth, persisted without regrets, and took a blood mark step by step, until she finally knelt in front of the emperor, all the ministers were moved, and even Qin Xianggong was stunned.

Seeing the bloodstains left behind her, Zhao Gou was taken aback and said, "Why should I forgive him?"

Murong Yan still knelt on the ground and said, "I have experienced the cold eyes of the world for more than ten years, and I know the pain of motherless love. Now, she is pregnant with a clumsy husband, a child needs a father, and a wife needs a husband. I am willing to ask the emperor to be gracious and reunite my family. With that, he kowtowed again, leaving a blood mark the size of an egg on the ground.

"You're still bleeding!" Zhao Gou was taken aback.

"Ask the emperor for mercy! Ask for the emperor's mercy! Ask the emperor for mercy!" Murong Yan pleaded again and again, kowtowed again and again, and the ministers sighed and sighed, thinking of how he was loyal in the past, and pleaded for him again.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou had no idea, sighed, and asked Yuwen Xuzhong instead: "What does Aiqing think?"

The emperor didn't ask Qin Xianggong, but came to ask himself, there is a connotation in this, Yuwen Xuzhong naturally understands the way of officialdom, Zhao Gou's words are obviously asking him, but in fact, he is an inner contradiction, but if he opens his mouth to say "put", and it is inappropriate, he will be held accountable in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shirk, it is better to plan and let everyone participate, so that even if there is a case, the emperor is not easy to blame. So he smiled and said: "It is rumored that Emperor Biyue is both talented and beautiful, and when I see it today, this appearance is really beautiful, but I don't know what about this 'talent'?"

Qin Xianggong's eyes rolled, and he immediately answered: "It's better to test her on the spot, come up with a couplet, if you can answer the next couplet, then let the Taishi go, if you can't answer, you can't complain about others, and it's not too late for the emperor to let it fall." ”

Yuwen glared at him fiercely, and said in his heart: You are a king and eight calves, I came up with an idea but you took the lead!

I only heard Zhao Gou laughing: "This plan is wonderful!"

Murong Yan knelt down to thank her with tears, but said in her heart: The faint king is not faint, it is this Qin Xianggong bastard! My husband is a meritorious man, but you decide the fate of others with games, although I don't kill you, you will not die well in the future.

Zhao Gou groaned slightly, and came out of the upper link: the full moon is missing, the moon is lacking, the moon is full and the moon is full, year after year, twilight and dynasty, and the sun is seen at the end of the night.

If you want to talk about this pair, Murong Yan and He Lai often use it for fun and recreation on weekdays, this pair looks difficult, and it is not difficult to master the rules. She thanked Qin Xianggong first, endured the severe pain and considered it again and again, and came up with the following couplet: Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool, and spring begins after the harsh winter.

Zhao Gou smiled and nodded wonderfully. The first level has passed, all the ministers, you say a word to me, and Murong Yan can answer it fluently. Every time he completed a couplet, he would kowtow to the emperor and bow down, and then shout: "Please ask the emperor to be merciful and forgive the clumsy husband." ”

Her sincerity finally moved Zhao Gou, and she felt that this woman was so infatuated, and said in her heart: Accepting her as a concubine will definitely invite criticism, which is also against morality and ethics. Thinking of this, he issued a decree to exempt him from his crimes, but to remove him from his official position and demote him to a commoner.

Murong Yan thanked the emperor, got out of the palace, and hurriedly took He Lai back with Zhang Qin, but he had a long night and many dreams, and decided to return to Chenjiazhuang that night. As she expected, Qin Xianggong had a bad idea on the surface, and it seemed that he also intended to let him go, but this all depended on the unanimous plea of the ministers. When Murong Yan didn't go far from Yingtianfu just after leaving Yingtianfu, sure enough, the emperor regretted it and sent three thousand cavalry to chase after him, how could he be demoted to a commoner and come and go freely, but Murong Yan was the emperor's niece and had to stay.

The 3,000 cavalry of the Song army quickly pursued all the way, and finally intercepted Murong Yan and others at Liujia Temple, which was fifty miles away from Yingtianfu. The leader was Huyan Zhuqing, the garrison of the four walls, with a wave of his hand and a loud shout, the Song army rushed up and surrounded the carriage.

"Bold! Emperor Biyue also dares to stop it, quickly dodge, otherwise you will not be able to cut off ten heads!" "The daughter-in-law is extremely weak, and now that the Dog Emperor has reversed herself, Zhang Qin was furious, jumping out of the carriage regardless of life and death, pointing at Huyan Zhuqing and scolding.

Huyan Zhuqing was scolded to the point of incompleteness, his face was red and blue, and when he was hesitating, Zhang Qin stopped him with both arms and shouted: "If I go forward, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!

Murong Yan was afraid that her mother-in-law would make a mistake, so she struggled to get up, staggered out of the car, pulled her mother-in-law behind her to protect her, and said lightly to Huyan Zhuqing: "If something comes to me alone, don't hurt my family." Huyan garrisoned, the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty, you didn't go to defend the capital, but sent troops and horses to surround my woman's family, what is the reason?"

Huyan Zhuqing said: "The emperor has a decree, Emperor Biyue is weak due to miscarriage, and needs to be escorted back to the capital to recuperate." No one else is allowed to stop them, and if there is any disobedience, military law will be involved!"

"Huyan garrison!" Murong Yan said coldly, "Although I am powerless to resist three thousand Song soldiers, it will not be difficult to kill you! If you touch my family, I will let your blood splash on the spot!"

Huyan Zhuqing "chuckled" in her heart, seeing her piercing eyes, she didn't dare to be presumptuous at the moment, calmed down, and her tone of voice became much softer: "It's better for you to go back to Beijing with me to resume your life!"

Murong Yan shook her head and sneered: "What if you say no?"

Huyan Zhuqing was unwilling, and repeatedly dissuaded: "The emperor is very worried, if you return to the emperor's side, the glory and wealth will definitely be inexhaustible, why bother to follow how to suffer and suffer? Now the situation is not peaceful, or the palace is more peaceful!"

Murong Yan pursed her lips and sneered: "Don't bother with the garrison. Since this is a concubine's choice, she should have no regrets. Please tell the emperor, why is he a concubine husband, and why should he give up wealth and glory for his husband?"

"Didn't he write a letter of resignation? Now he has nothing to do with you. Huyan Zhuqing smiled coldly.

He stumbled out of the carriage, although he was covered in injuries, but after all, he was a man, when his woman was in danger, if he didn't come forward, would he still be a man? He pulled Murong Yan and Zhang Qin behind him to protect him, and said with a haha, and said: "Huyan guard, you are very clumsy in this plan! Say that I write a letter of resignation, and you can bring it, you can't take it out and fart here! Don't say that I don't write a letter of resignation on weekdays, even if it is a thousand cuts, I won't write this letter of resignation! In the past life, this life, and the next life, Murong Yan is my wife, if you want to marry her, stand aside! If you dare to touch a single hair of her, if you are not afraid of death, come forward and try!"

After Murong Yan heard this, she smiled, leaned on his shoulder with a pale face, and stuffed her soft jade hand into her husband's palm. He Lai gently stroked her pretty face like a flower, looked at Huyan Zhuqing, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and said word by word: "This is my woman, you move her to try!"

Huyan Zhuqing sneered: "You don't want wealth and glory, it's really stupid!"

Murong Yan said: "I only need He Lang, what does glory and wealth have to do with me?"

Huyan Zhuqing said: "No matter how high your martial arts are, if you rush up, you must not be able to retreat with your whole body!

He Lai said: "Although it is difficult to save my life in the chaos, I just want to go home, and I don't mean to hurt anyone." If you are aggressive, you will have to die and the net will be broken, and I am afraid that you will be sad today!"

Huyan Zhuqing said: "Three thousand cavalry can't subdue the four of you?

He Lai said: "Say another word to be careful of your dog's life!"

All of a sudden, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Suddenly, at this time, the spies came to report quickly, and looked panicked: "Jin Jun has been found ahead!"

Hearing that the Jin army had arrived, Huyan Zhuqing's face changed greatly, turned around, left Murong Yan, and led the cavalry to return to the capital in a hurry. The family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if there was a fight, there were many people on the other side, and it was really hard to say whether they could rush out. Just as he was getting into the carriage, suddenly Murong Yan had a sharp pain in her abdomen, and a stream of blood flowed out from under her body. Zhang Qin was taken aback, He Lai was even more panicked, at this time the smoke and dust were billowing in front of him, and the vanguard of the Jin Army came to Liujia Temple in the blink of an eye, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage parked on the side of the road not far away, and rushed over with a shout.

He Lai had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "It's just a hurry, if there is anything that offends the military master, please bear with me." ”

Jin Jun glanced at him coldly, pushed him off the carriage, opened the door curtain, and when he saw Murong Yan, his eyes immediately lit up and laughed wildly, and even some Jin soldiers stretched out their hands and feet to tease.

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Qin was furious and rushed to attack first. Seeing this, Murong Yan grabbed her mother-in-law, and at this moment, once she started, the whole family would be here.

When Jin Bing saw a pregnant woman, he first laughed, and then saw a large pool of blood under her, and he understood seven or eight points. Murong Yan struggled to get up, stumbled out of the carriage, and knelt down in front of a golden soldier leader.

"Are you unwell?" asked the leader of the Golden Soldiers.

In normal times, Murong Yan would have killed these people with a swing of his sword, but at this moment, in the stillbirth, her husband was severely beaten in prison, and the two of them were extremely weak, and if they moved, they had no chance of winning. She knelt on the ground, endured the severe pain, gritted her teeth and said: "I beg the leader to let my family live, the people are grateful...... Before she finished speaking, she lost too much blood after all, and her body shook back and forth, and she fell to the ground.

"Yan'er!"

"Lady!"

"Sister!"

The family panicked, and helped her up, Murong Yan's voice gradually weakened, and she said intermittently: "Child...... Child...... No ......."

When he saw Murong Yan's face, the leader of the Jin soldiers suddenly shouted: "Get out!" Before the words fell, he kicked away from him, kicked Zhang Qin away, leaned over and stared: "Are you Zhao Fujin's daughter Murong Yan?"

He Lai was taken aback, his heart was not good, and he secretly prepared to capture the leader of the Jin Army in order to break through, but he said: "Yes and what, what is it to do, what does it have to do with you?"

The leader didn't answer, staring at Murong Yan who was dying, suddenly laughed, laughing and laughing gradually turned into crying, and finally couldn't cry, how could he be completely stunned, isn't this old guy sick in the brain?

"Daughter, I finally found you!" The leader looked up to the sky and laughed, then cried, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and ordered his subordinates to carry Murong Yan back to the camp, and bring He Lai, Zhang Qin, and Murong Hong back to the barracks together, so that the accompanying imperial doctor could heal Murong Yan. Although the child is gone, the adult has finally saved his life, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

"Where are you from?" Seeing that Murong Yan was out of danger, the leader grabbed He Lai and asked sharply.

"Exactly. "Now, there is no need to hide it, how can he nod his head and say yes, and make a generous appearance of dying.

"Did you kill Damurhan or did the little girl kill you?" the leader asked again.

He Lai replied: "What I killed has nothing to do with my wife!"

The leader asked again: "Who killed Wanyanda, you or the little girl?"

He Lai patted his chest and said, "It's me too, everything is mine, and it has nothing to do with her! If you want revenge, even if you come at me, I will bear it alone!"

The leader suddenly said, "Do you know who I am?"

He Lai shook his head, it doesn't matter who you are, once the fight starts, you will either be alive or dead. The leader laughed and said, "I am the King of Jin, Wanyan Zongbi, and this time I went south to find a little girl." ”

"Are you saying Murong Yan is your daughter?" He Lai was stunned.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded and said, "Zhao Fujin gave birth to a daughter halfway and was snatched by Murong Tianshan and named Murong Yan, everyone knows that she is Zhao Fujin's daughter, and I am her biological father!"

Then, with a long sigh, as he spoke, the miserable night of nineteen years ago gradually appeared in front of his eyes......
