Chapter 36: Falling into the Well (1)

On the same day, Nangong Xue and Li Yijie hastily buried Lu Qian, Nangong Xue sprinkled a few sad tears in front of the tomb, and after Li Yijie's repeated persuasion, the two of them returned to the palace to resume their lives.

Li Yijie truthfully explained the cause and effect, and sighed: "I was incompetent, and in the end I still slipped away to the Seven Demon Demons, Ling Beile also took him hostage, and Lord Lu was ...... In order to save Xue'er, he sacrificed his ...... heroically" As she spoke, she peeked at Nangong Xue beside her, and sure enough, when she heard the news of Lu Qian's death again, her eyes turned red again.

Shunzhi looked extremely tired, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Li Qing's family, if you want to really clean up the Seven Demons, it is a long-term hard work, and it is not something that can be done overnight." As for Xuanshuang, if he is destined to have this catastrophe in his life, it would be good to be able to face it calmly, or he might be able to achieve cause and effect in the future...... But if he is willing to fall and is willing to join the seven demons, and fall into the quagmire, others will not be able to save him!" When he said the last sentence, his tone was quite stern.

Li Yijie couldn't help but argue: "That's not it, maybe we all misunderstood Ling Beile in the past, although he is sometimes playful, he is not a child who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and will casually recognize the thief as his father." He also made a great effort to rescue Cher with us just now—"

Shen Shiyun sneered: "Ignoring a bunch of big things in the palace, and giving away some small favors in inconsequential places, he can figure it out." Li Yijie was embarrassed for a while, but Nangong Xue had already said crisply: "Your Majesty, the little girl has something to ask for." ”

Shunzhi saw that Nangong Xue had been abducted for a few days, and it was rare for him to return safely, so he treated her very leniently, and said, "Nangong girl, I have admired your name for a long time. These days, you have been wronged, if there is anything you can do, just mention it!" I guess that she is a woman, at most she wants to ask for some gold, silver and jade silk, or pray for her senior brother to be famous.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue lightly blessed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The little woman didn't dare to think about anything else, she just wanted to reopen the unjust case of the year, correct the name of the young marshal of the remnant star and Lord Lu Qianlu, and give her a nickname after her death, and she should be grateful. ”

Shunzhi didn't expect that she would either not mention it, and once she did, it would be such a difficult request. Although he is the emperor, it is not easy to reopen the old case.

Not to mention that the court and the court, a group of old-fashioned factions stubbornly obstructed, and one of them was not good, which would affect the emperor's holy name and the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for Nangong Xue to sacrifice so much on her behalf because of her fluttering request. I had to respond vaguely and said, "This matter is indeed difficult, and it will take some time to pass through the landing place." If Miss Nangong is patient, please wait longer, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer one day. ”

Li Yijie, Shen Shiyun and others present knew that "other days" would never have it, and this patience was afraid that it would have to be kept forever. Only Nangong Xue smiled happily, and her head should be yes. It seems that Lu Qian and Dark Night are no longer big devils, but heroes and heroes praised by everyone.

Shen Shiyun returned to the topic and said, "Regarding the disaster of the Seven Demon Heads, how to eradicate it in the future, Li Qing's family, have you considered it?"

Li Yijie bowed his head and said: "Yes, I have an idea for my humble position, and I just want to tell Concubine Yun about it." Listening to his words, he was unwilling to be mediocre after that, and deliberately took Ling Beile to make chaos everywhere and stabilize his territory. If we gather all the generals and form a strong army, we may be able to force him to be in a hurry, but the rest of the cities will be unguarded, if they cannot be taken in one fell swoop, then the country is in danger. Therefore, when I think about it, I always feel that these two strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I really can't get an idea, which one should be taken first?"

Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "It's hard for Li Qing's family to think so much about Jiangshan Sheji." Ben Gongyuan is also worried that after several blows in a row, I am afraid that you will be even more discouraged and lazy, and you will use alcohol to kill your sorrows, but it turns out that you are all worried, and Li Qing's family is clearly a model of frustration and bravery. Whatever you think, just do it all your way, it must be good. Forgive Bengong for asking a lot of gossip, now that Miss Nangong has rescued you, I don't know when you can drink a glass of wine for the two of you?"

Li Yijie felt a pain in his heart, and listening to Shen Shiyun's words, it was clear that he had revealed Nangong Xue's trauma. But since she asked, she couldn't avoid answering, and said listlessly: "If you don't say it, it will make people laugh." Me and Cher ...... I plan to get married for the time being, and as for the gift money, I will return it one by one. We were so tired that the big guys ran for nothing, and we were very reluctant to go. ”

Shunzhi and Shen Shiyun were both surprised, but Shen Shiyun was more happy than surprised, and said with a smile: "Marriage is not a child's play, it is indeed good to think about it clearly." What's the matter, Li Qing's family is so ambitious, and they dislike the Nangong girl? Even if the two of them are alone for nearly a month, it doesn't have to happen, don't you say?"

Li Yijie knew that she was deliberately turning on this road, and she was extremely irritable in her heart, and said: "This is not a simple question of who dislikes whom. It's the two of us...... It takes time to calm down. ”

Shunzhi said: "It stands to reason that persuasion should be persuasion rather than persuasion. But I have only recently realized that it is really a kind of pressure for a couple to live for a long time, and it is not as close as a friend. But Li Qing's family, if you really want to jump into this cage, you can jump. ”

Li Yijie's face was hot when he heard this, and the situation of Nangong Xue beside him must be even more embarrassing, so he tried his best to tear the topic away, and said: "In fact, when it comes to martial arts, it is not that no one can match the Seven Demon Heads. Has the emperor ever heard of the four major families? According to his humble position, the kung fu of the four owners can be compared with him, but it is just ...... They are secluded and out-of-the-world masters, and they refuse to go out of the mountains easily, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to move them to help......"

Shunzhi said: "If the master can easily ask for it, then what is the value? I will leave this task to you, no matter what method you use, you must complete it for me on time." Li Yijie is still unknown whether this task can be "completed", let alone "on schedule"?

The days go on and on. Since then, Li Yijie has been going to inquire about Xuanshuang's whereabouts during the day, while thinking about the affairs of the four major families, how to open his mouth and make this "reluctant request".

At the beginning, the two of them had words first, and the original owner made the biggest concession, so he could only find out Nangong Xue's whereabouts on his behalf, but he couldn't send reinforcements. How could he be the master of the martial arts alliance after returning from holding the beauty, he would not believe his words and go back on his word? So he put it aside every day, and it was very rare to see Nangong Xue, even if he met, he couldn't say a few words, and he would go his separate ways.

Sometimes Li Yijie secretly feels cold, when did the two of them fall into such a strange way, but Nangong Xue was unwilling to give him all the chances to recover, and was almost consciously avoiding him.

As for Shen Shiyun's side, as soon as Lu Qian died, she got rid of a big trouble. On the same day, he drafted a memoir with several concubines and presented it to the emperor, which listed the various crimes of Concubine Dong E, and attached it with his own handwriting. When Shunzhi was furious, he ordered Concubine Dong E to be executed, in accordance with the rules of the palace, and afterwards he repented, and wanted to withdraw the edict, but Concubine Dong E had been found and died in prison for unknown reasons.

A year passed in a hurry as the battle intensified. At this time, it was September of the seventh year of Shunzhi, and now many rebel forces have been pacified, only the remaining Seven Evil Saint Monarch Jiang Yanchen, who is already dissatisfied with everything himself, took his apprentices, and stepped all over the north and south of the river with iron hooves. often recruits troops in various places, and there are countless people who turn against each other, and in the blink of an eye, they have also re-established the sect.

A year can only make him more ferocious, his mind more complicated, everywhere he goes, corpses are everywhere, rivers of blood flow, and such a scene of decay can be seen everywhere. If he was just a temptation in the past, then this year was a large-scale slaughter and sweep, and a crazy revenge move. Today, it seems to have become something in his pocket, which has made countless righteous people gnash their teeth, but no one dares to take the lead and provoke this devil's evil spirit.

Nangong Xue didn't care about martial arts, just because she was powerless, and over time, she gradually faded away. But seeing that she was alone, she slowly walked up to the Wangyang slope near the left side of the capital, holding a few bunches of ginger flowers in her hands, walked to the two tombs standing side by side, squatted down, and pushed away a few weeds that were hidden.

This day is not Qingming, let alone the death of the two, but Nangong Xue has no reason to want to come here. After Yuan Yi left, she left a huge original mansion to her, but she couldn't get used to it, especially in the empty house, accompanied by darkness, and the loneliness of guarding alone until dawn, there was always a kind of vicissitudes and sadness between heaven and earth.

And the palace itself can't live in, in the Forbidden City, the bedroom that Shunzhi invited her to live in was extremely luxurious, but it made her feel that she was incompatible with this environment, and she would always be just an outsider. Leaning in front of the window, I saw that Li Yijie went out early and returned late, and he didn't come to visit her for ten days and a half months, and there were no other friends in the palace, not even a person who spoke to him. In the end, she resolutely moved out and rested in a small hut in the corner of the city, where a kind old lady took pity on her loneliness and exempted her from some miscellaneous fees.

During the day, with a few ordinary women, weaving and embroidering in the house, and then asking someone to sell it in the market, in exchange for a few small money to subsidize the family, life is very poor. Fortunately, she eats very little at every meal, and she doesn't pay much attention to clothing, so she can barely survive it. One day, two empty graves were erected for Lu Qian and Dark Night on Wangyang Slope, and they were alone in front of the two tombstones to express their grief.

Divide the bouquet in his hand into two plants, place them in front of the graves of the two people, and say softly: "I don't like those big red and gorgeous flowers, they are too cheesy, and the brighter the color, the more popular they are, and the faster they will wither in the future." When it turns into a dry leaf, who will look at it more? Then again, how can people not be the same? Therefore I would rather be an inconspicuous little flower, and no one else will pay much attention to it, but no one will hurt it. Exuding a faint fragrance, it is quiet, fresh, and long-lasting, so that it can last for a long time. I wonder if you have the same opinion as me?"

He shook his head, pretended to smile playfully, and said, "Brother Lu, aren't you the best at pandering to me? You are not allowed to refute this time! No matter what you think, I have to tell you to listen to me." ”

As for the dark night, he did not dare to be presumptuous at will, and said: "I know that you like blue the most, the blue of the sky, symbolizing freedom, right? Unfortunately, no matter how clear the sky is, it will condense clouds...... Hey, look what I'm talking about, I'm going to have red eyes when I say two words, I wasn't such a sentimental person before. If you do this again, I'm afraid you're going to turn into a rabbit...... I picked these flowers myself, but after looking for a long time, I didn't find a blue flower, I'm stupid, isn't it? However, when I see this little flower, I can also feel a kind of unrestrained meaning, do you like it? You have lived too depressed in this life, I hope you can be your true self underground, in the sky, or in the next life. Even if you're not the best one in the crowd, make sure to try to make yourself happy. ”
