Chapter Forty-Eight: The Affection of the Monarch and the Ministers Section 2 Leaving Beijing

Marriage? Xiao Ni opened her mouth wide and looked at Ling Xiao in front of her stupidly, she didn't believe what she had just heard, she married Fan Jun? This is impossible, why is Mrs. doing things so abruptly tonight?

"Madam, how can you ------ you------ me?" said Xiao Ni eating.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and reached out to hold Xiao Ni's cold hands: "Since the first time I saw you, I knew that your child is not like your mother, you have a good nature, even if you do those things, it is definitely not out of your intention, there are too many times when you have to go against your conscience and do those evil things------ I know these very well." Since you came to the Fan family, the lord has always loved you, and mentioned to me several times that he wanted to recognize you as his daughter, but you never promised him------ now that I think about it, it is my Jun'er who made a promise to you to marry. Since Jun'er has spoken first, it is not an exaggeration for me to say this today------ since you have arrived at our Fan family, you must have a fate with us in our previous life, and today I will make the decision for your mother. ”

"Madame------" Xiao Ni knelt on the ground gratefully, choked up and said: " Madam, I know that you have always been ------very good to Xiao Ni, in fact, Madam, you have long seen through my true identity, but you have never exposed me to my face, but have been patient------ Xiao Ni is from a humble background, and he is not worthy of your son at all, as for the promises he made to me, those are no longer important------ at the beginning I did promise him to take good care of you and the master, but later------ I really want to protect you and the master, not for any promise------ madam, you must understand the sincerity of the little Nirvana。 ”

"Silly boy, how can I not understand? It's just that this big man stands up to the sky and does what he says! Since Jun'er has spoken it, he must fulfill his promise, and no one can change this. Ling Xiao said softly, "As for the humble background or something, I think I Ling Xiao is also from a maid's background, but the master has never underestimated me because of this------ if Jun'er has such an idea, then he is not worthy of being my son------ Xiaoni, today I am your parents, your family affairs are up to me, you don't have to have other concerns, Fan Jun has filial piety, can't marry you, I really wronged you." ”

"Madame-----" Xiao Ni was already crying.

"Alas------ from today onwards, it's better to change your name to my mother. Ling Xiao pulled her up from the ground, "Your body has not fully recovered, the weather is gradually getting colder, you must pay attention to your body bones in the future, don't pounce on it when you encounter something and desperately ------ people live, first of all, learn how to save your life is the most important thing." ”

Ling Xiao looked at Fan Jun, who was standing silent, knowing what he was thinking, he had never given up on Na Yuanxiang, although he didn't dare to disobey his orders on the surface, but in his heart he must have already made plans. Now that he is forcing him to marry Xiao Nirvana, he has cut off all his thoughts, and he must not be able to stand this blow.

"Madam, Xiao Ni is reluctant to marry Fan Jun------ there is another reason: he already has the woman he loves------ the day he returned home, I secretly heard Mrs. ------, I know how good it feels to have someone in my heart, and I have been like this all these years. Xiao Ni's tears flowed down one after another, "I know that he is worried about Yuan Xiang in his heart, after leaving the capital, let him go to Yuan Xiang, I'm fine------ I can go to my mother and accompany her to the end of my life, which is also an excellent home." ”

Ling Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Fan Jun reproachfully: "He doesn't need you to be the master of his affairs, I have already handled the matter of Yuan Xiang for him." ”

When Fan Jun heard this, he raised his head in surprise and looked at his mother, who had already taken care of it for himself, what did it mean? Fan Jun suddenly became nervous, and he asked anxiously, "Mother, how did you deal with it?"

"Do you need you to guide me in how to do things, and after you have returned, I have already gone to Ele once, and I have already taken care of everything. ”

"Mother------ when are you going to Eile?" Fan Jun was more and more surprised the more he listened, he couldn't imagine that his mother would go all the way to Eile, and he didn't expect that his thoughtful mother had already done everything she had to do.

"Do you remember the time when my mother was away from home for more than a month?" Ling Xiao reminded, "That's when I handled all this. ”

Fan Jun suddenly remembered that time, his mother did leave home with Aunt Xing for more than a month, thinking that when his mother was young, she often took her young self to the mountains to collect medicine and go to the beach to play. It's just that how she dealt with Yuan Xiang, Fan Jun was the boss's doubt in his heart.

"Mother-----s Mother"

"Miss Yuanxiang's temperament is naturally different from that of our Han women, you know this very well, and on the day she decided to leave you, she didn't plan to let you go to her. Don't you still understand this?" Ling Xiao rebuked in a low voice, "Compared to Yuan Xiang, who knows the overall situation, you are now indecisive like a woman, today I have decided on your marriage, you have to think about it, my mother has always been a count, if you insist on looking for Yuan Xiang after leaving Beijing, you and I will not have to see each other again in the future." ”

Fan Jun heard his mother's stern tone, and knew that it was impossible for him to go willfully to find Yuan Xiang, at this time, he could only bury his deep thoughts in the bottom of his heart, and carefully store the bits and pieces of his relationship with Yuan Xiang in a place where others could not reach him.

Thinking of this, he had to kneel down: "The child ------ all at the behest of his mother." ”

Ling Xiao knows that his son at this time, how entangled and painful he is in his heart, he must let go of the feelings he once had, to start a relationship that he was not optimistic about at all, this is an extremely difficult thing for him, she believes that her son can reverse the knot in his heart, he is no longer the boy who did not know the world before, years of killing battles, has tempered his will, he must bear the pain that others can't bear, because he is Ling Xiao's son, this is a choice he has no choice.

"Mother, rest assured, from today on, Xiao Ni is my wife, I will treat her well and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance. Fan Jun said solemnly to Ling Xiao.

After hearing her son's words, Ling Xiao's expression slowed down slightly, she nodded slowly, handed the golden lock in her hand to Fan Jun's hand, and then took out Wei Rui's rune from her bosom and handed it to Fan Jun's hand.

"This is General Wei personally sent to me, you have followed General Wei for many years, you know how he values this talisman given to him by the emperor, and now he has given us such an important thing to the Fan family, you should know General Wei's mood when he wants us to leave Beijing." ”

Fan Jun thought of his father-in-law, always looked secretive, even if he was happy, he didn't want others to see it, he always sat there so calmly thinking------ he couldn't imagine that his father-in-law would dare to risk being punished by the emperor and give the charm to his mother, his concern for the people of the Fan family could not be expressed in any language.

"Jun'er, with General Wei helping our Fan family, it must be your father's reward for many years of loyalty to the country------ give you a pillar of incense, go and prepare the things you carry, and then take Xiao Ni and Yu'er, take advantage of the night to quietly leave the mansion, and go to General Wei's mansion to listen to his arrangement. Ling Xiao whispered to him, "Time is pressing, don't delay too much." ”

"Then what should you do? How do you get out of the city?" Fan Jun felt anxious when he thought that his mother would not leave with them: "How can we leave you alone in the capital? ”

"Let's go together, then none of us can leave. Ling Xiao said lightly, "I will help the coffin out of the city early tomorrow morning, and no one dares to stop me from such a thing." ”

Fan Jun was even more anxious after hearing this, her mother's idea has always been very big, and no one can change what she has set, but what she has to do tomorrow is extremely dangerous, how can her mother bear it alone?

"But ------"

"What's the matter? What is not to be, I am still the elder of the Fan family, I have the final say on these things! Don't have any delay, hurry up and get some necessary things, and set off immediately." ”

Fan Jun saw his mother's stern eyes, he had to reach out and clasp Xiao Ni's hand, and said in a low voice: "Go and pack your luggage, let's leave immediately!"

After Ling Xiao waited for them to leave the mourning hall, he nodded and called Fan Yu over. Fan Yu threw himself into his mother's arms and cried silently. Ling Xiao stroked the stubble of the hair that had just grown on her son's head, and her heart was sour, and she said softly: "Yu'er------ you have suffered in the temple all these years------ mother is sorry for you, and let you suffer these grievances in the temple at a young age. ”

"Mother, you don't have to be sad, Master Bodhidharma told me that my mother wants her son to go to the temple in order to better protect the child------ Yu'er understands this, and Mother Mo is sad anymore. ”

"Yu'er, when you first came to the capital, you got into trouble------ because you are a good boy with a simple mind, you can't see through the sinister intentions of those people, I don't want you to fall into the hands of those evil people, suffer from the endless torture------ mother At that time, there were too many things to worry about, I can only make this decision, let you commit yourself to Tongtai Temple. ”

"Mother, the child understands, the child understands everything------"

"Follow your eldest brother and little sister Nirvana, don't go with your mother. Ling Xiao said ruthlessly, "It's not safe to walk with your mother, but with your eldest brother------ your mother can rest assured!"

"But what should I do if my mother is alone------ mother?"

"I'll be fine, Yu'er, after you leave the capital, you have to do what your mother says------ can you promise me?" Ling Xiao wiped the tears from his son's face and asked in a low voice.

Fan Yu nodded vigorously: "Mother, don't worry, I have been taught by you since I was a child, and I never dare to forget it." ”

"Yu'er, what my mother said to you, you have to listen carefully word for word. Ling Xiao put his mouth close to his youngest son's ear, whispered something to him, and then asked in a low voice, "Remember?"

Yu'er looked surprised and curious, but he knew that he couldn't tell it, so he had to reply in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find them and carry out your entrustment to the end." ”

Ling Xiao looked at him with a smile, now looking at his upright figure, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but in this short time together, they had to separate for a long time, although the separation was so painful, but when she thought of her two sons, they had grown into men who stood up to the sky, for Ling Xiao, this was the thing she was most proud of.

Fan Jun and Xiao Ni packed their luggage and walked in, Ling Xiao looked at the three children in front of him, and said softly: "The three of you quietly leave the mansion, after avoiding the eyes and ears of the enemy, you must pay attention, the Wei Mansion is afraid that it will not be spared at this time, and when you enter General Wei's mansion, you must be more careful." ”

Fan Jun nodded, he had just slowly gone through what his mother had done these days in his mind, what his mother had done could be said to be watertight, without the slightest flaw, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.

"When I see General Wei, thank him for me------- I will take the guqin he gave me with me, Jun'er will bring this sentence to General Wei!" Ling Xiao said calmly to Fan Jun.

"Yes, mother. ”

"Let's go, don't wait until dawn to go. ”

Xiao Nie suddenly broke free of Fan Jun's hand, ran back to Ling Xiao, knelt on the ground and knocked her head a few times, Ling Xiao hurriedly stopped her: "You kid, you must not be like this." ”

"Xiao Ni has been lonely all his life, and he has never really felt family affection------ Mrs., my biological father will not recognize him even if he dies in this generation, and I will not go to his surname, please give me a surname. Little Nirvana cried and pleaded.

"Little Nirvana------ then He Zheng has done all the bad things, it is not tolerated, of course such a good child as you can't follow his surname------ why don't you just have the surname Nie, in the future, listen to the world with your ears and see the world with your eyes------ is this good?" Ling Xiao groaned for a moment and asked slowly.

"Nie------ from now on, my surname will be Nie, mother, Xiao Ni, thank you for giving me such a good surname------"

Xiao Ni's voice made Ling Xiao's tears flow down again: "Good boy------ if we meet in the future, how happy I should be as a mother------

"After you escape------ little Nirvana will wait for you to repay you------ "Little Nirvana cried.

"Let's go------ don't miss the hour. Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and pushed Xiao Ni towards Fan Jun: "Hurry up." ”

When Ling Xiao watched the children gradually disappear into the night, her heart began to ache violently, she was so afraid of the arrival of this day, but this day still came so ruthlessly, she was powerless to stop it, at this time she only silently wished her children safety in her heart------

At this time, in the Wei Mansion, the light in the study has been on, Wei Rui has been staying in the study since returning home from the Fan Mansion, without any sleep, he is also very uncalm in his heart at this time, and he doesn't know what kind of strategy to think of in order to eliminate the crisis in front of the Fan family.

When the sky was bright, Li Zhong suddenly broke up: "General!"

Wei Rui saw the strange look on Li Zhong's face, and asked a little unhappily: "The reckless problem can't be changed, what's wrong?"

"Fan Jun, are they coming?" Li Zhong said in a low voice.

"What?" Wei Rui was taken aback, "Come here, the door is full of He Zheng's eyes and ears, don't they know?

"You won't find out, they're coming in over the wall. Li Zhong hurriedly explained.

Wei Rui was relieved, he hurriedly ordered Li Zhong to bring people in, after Fan Jun and his party came to the study, Wei Rui was stunned, he didn't expect Fan Jun to bring his younger brother out of Tongtai Temple, he hurriedly asked: "When you left the temple, did you alarm the people in the temple?"

Fan Jun shook his head lightly: "Father-in-law, rest assured, everything is normal in the temple, and no one has noticed that the younger brother has left." ”

Wei Rui just put down a hanging heart, he saw Fan Jun hand over the golden lock in his hand, looked at him with some puzzlement, Fan Jun hurriedly explained: "This is what my mother asked me to bring to my father-in-law, and I don't know why." ”

Fan Yu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly said: "I know, there is a letter hidden in this golden lock, which was written by my grandfather, and my mother was the first to know that there was this letter in the lock, and she asked me to become a monk in Tongtai Temple, also to protect this letter." ”

"No wonder------" Xiao Ni also suddenly said, "My mother, the prince and my master are all desperately looking for this letter, and the Fan family has almost been searched by me and has not found it, it turns out that it was taken away by you early in the morning." ”

Xiao Ni admired Ling Xiao at this time, she tried her best at that time, and the letter that she couldn't find was actually hidden under the emperor's nose by Ling Xiao, such a delicate layout, people like her would never have imagined it anyway.

Wei Rui looked at the golden lock in his hand, and his heart was full of emotion, he had always been famous for his wisdom, but when he thought of the brilliant Ling Xiao, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, this woman's layout is far more exquisite than herself, if she is a man, the status is unmatched------

Thinking of this, he sighed secretly, now the first thing he has to do is to send Fan Jun and them out of the city, in this capital, staying for a while will increase the danger by one point, thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered Li Zhongdao: "General Li, you go and get three sets of military uniforms." ”

Li Zhong had already used this tactic once, that time it was to send Yongzhou away from Zhangshan, this time as soon as Wei Rui opened his mouth, he understood what Wei Rui meant, and he didn't wait for Wei Rui to give the second sentence, so he hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Wei Rui paced around the study uneasily, there were some things that he was inconvenient to ask, but the doubts in his heart were still very great, why did Ling Xiao not come with the children?

"Jun'er, your mother, ------ her" Wei Rui finally couldn't help but ask.

"Father-in-law, my mother wants to help my father's coffin out of the capital. Fan Jun hurriedly replied.

Wei Rui was silent for a while, she left alone, why did she leave alone? At this time, his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know why this lady didn't follow the rules. Originally, he wanted to send Ling Xiao's whole family out, but now that she is separated from the children, what are her plans?

Wei Rui shook his head slightly, this weak woman helped the coffin home, the goal is too big, Fan Jun and they are mixed among the soldiers to go out of the city, it is the safest, tomorrow the officers and soldiers who will defend the city, seeing her go out of the city alone, will definitely go to inform He Zheng, if He Zheng has murderous intentions, I am afraid that she will be more auspicious.

Fan Jun saw Wei Rui's worries, and he said softly: "Father-in-law, don't worry about my mother, she has her own reasons for doing this------ mother asked me to bring a message to my father-in-law: You give her guqin, she will take it away." ”

Wei Rui's eyes suddenly widened, he turned to look at Fan Jun, and asked nervously, "What did she say?"

"She said that the guqin you gave her will be taken away with her!" Fan Jun had to repeat again, "Father-in-law, is there anything wrong with my mother's approach?"

Wei Rui suddenly understood why Ling Xiao had to leave the capital so blatantly, she was trying to let Fan Jun and them leave safely, and she used herself to make a suspicious ------

"It's a brilliant plan. Wei Rui muttered, "Now I'm really glad that she's not my enemy------"

"Father-in-law, what did you just say?" asked Fan Jun puzzled.

Wei Rui shook his head, and he smiled and said, "I can send you out of Beijing with confidence." ”
