Chapter Forty-Nine
"My father is not Luo Yunchuan, right?" Xia Xuehan's empty eyes were a little sharper, forcing him to look at the princess.
"Who told you this?" the princess's lips trembled, these things were pains that she never wanted to mention, they had already formed a thick layer of dust, and when the dust was brushed away today, the eyes were covered with layers of scars.
"You don't care who said it, is my father the current emperor?" answer me!" Xia Xuehan's eyes stared at the princess, and she gritted her teeth and said.
"Your father is Yan Lingge. The princess didn't say anything else, these words seemed to be her whole strength.
Xia Xuehan smiled bitterly: "Are you finally willing to say this name?"
The princess turned and walked towards the house, only one sentence floated away, "Come in, I hope this result will not sink you here." ”
***
The September wind shook off the leaves of Ciqing Palace, and Prince Xia Lang leaned on the railing and watched the sun gradually sinking in the distance, a very quiet dusk, but for some reason, it made people's hearts feel a little more desolate and sour.
Xia Lang's handsome side face was a little cold in the afterglow, and there was a woman in black standing behind him, if Xia Xuehan was there, he would definitely be shocked, because in the information he obtained, this person was already dead and should not exist in this world. This woman is the person who Xia Xuehan defeated Yelu Chuyuan, returned triumphantly, and assassinated the emperor during the celebration of Renhe Palace, but now she is standing here intact.
The woman was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and her face was delicate, but the scar on her left cheek, which was more than an inch long, added a little fierceness.
"Ruobing, it's been a long time since I brought you back, right?" Xia Lang looked at the jade wrench on his finger and said coldly.
The woman in black's gaze stayed in the distance, there was a deep sadness, she only said lightly: "Xia Chongde's vein and I don't share the sky, you don't have to expect me to repay the favor, your life is saved by you, if you want to take it back, you can do it at any time!"
Xia Lang smiled: "Since I took such a big risk to save you, wouldn't it be in vain to take your life now?
Ruobing didn't speak, his eyes were still staring into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the world outside the palace.
Xia Lang raised his finger and pointed to a small remote courtyard in the southwest corner, and said, "More than ten years ago, there was a little boy and his mother, who had lost power, lived in that place, which was dark and damp, and could not see the sun all year round, probably the darkest and coldest place in this palace. After the little boy was born, an astrologer in the court said that he was born from the greedy wolf star, and his life was treacherous and treacherous, and he would definitely mess up the world in the future. ”
A mocking sneer rose at the corner of Xia Lang's mouth, and he continued: "The emperor believes in these things, and the little boy relegated him and his mother to that small courtyard before the moon is full. At that time, the emperor's favorite concubine was Concubine Shu, she was the sister of the general Yan Mu, the general held power in the court, and the concubine collected thousands of favors in the harem. is such a woman, even a maid under her hand dares to speak arrogantly to a noble Jieyu. For as long as he can remember, his mother had to do laundry, chop wood, fetch water, cook rice, and empty the toilet for those lowly palace maids and eunuchs every day, and every day she ate only the leftover spoiled meals of those lowly people. What he remembered most clearly was that Concubine Yan had a maid named Zhen'er under her command, and every once in a while she would go to that courtyard to find trouble with the mother and son, everyone in this palace knew that Concubine Yan Shufei could not give birth to children, she was jealous, jealous of every woman who had children. ”
The ridicule at the corner of Xia Lang's mouth became cold, and a thick killing intent was revealed, and he said: "That child is seven years old, and that day is also Concubine Yan Shu's birthday, she and Zhen'er went to that courtyard, and said to the mother that if she admits that she has an affair with the oldest and ugliest guard in the palace, and bows down to the emperor to plead guilty, you can let the little boy grow up safely, otherwise the child will die without a place to be buried." ”
"The palace is really a place of intrigue, there is such a vicious woman, even a child is not spared. Ruobing had a look of anger on his face and said coldly.
The mother also knew that if they admitted it, how could the emperor tolerate them to live, and they would have to bear an infamous reputation after death, so they swore to die. Concubine Yan Shufei couldn't help her for a while, and left after letting go of her cruel words. Xia Lang reached out and grabbed the railing, eager to break off a piece of the railing, and continued, "That night, the little boy took a knife from the kitchen, got into Yan Shufei's bedroom through the dog hole, killed her, and cut her face more than thirty times, cut off her tongue, nose, and ears when he left, turned her into the ugliest woman in the world, and gouged out her eyeballs, so that she could not find herself and her mother if she was a ghost. ”
As soon as Ruo Bing heard this, he turned his head, stared at Xia Lang, and said, "Even though that Yan Shufei is vicious, a seven-year-old child would be too ruthless to do such a thing!"
Xia Lang didn't seem to hear her words, and continued: "After Concubine Yan Shufei died, the harem was greatly shaken, but who would have thought that it was a seven-year-old child who did it, the emperor killed more than 200 people in the harem guards, eunuchs, and maids in a rage, but still found nothing, and this matter has also become an unsolved case in the harem. Because Concubine Yan Shu was absent, the general Yan Mu fought with the Tatars, was defeated and surrendered to the enemy, the Yan family was connected to the nine clans, and the little boy mother and son who had been oppressed could finally take a breath. ”
Two years later, the little boy was nine years old, because the little boy was the eldest son, more than 100 ministers from top to bottom risked their lives to admonish, the emperor could not stand the remarks of the ministers to establish the elders and not the virtuous, and made the little boy the crown prince, and in the same year, the child's mother was canonized as the queen. At this point, Sharon's hand gripping the railing loosened.
Ruo Bing's mouth raised, and he moved his gaze into the distance, snorted coldly, and said: "I have already guessed that it is you, and only you can be so ruthless, only you can do everything without doing it yourself." ”
Xia Lang turned around, leaned on his back against the mahogany railing, whistled softly, and said: "Over the years, others have thought that I have infinite beauty, but since I can remember, I have had to maintain the highest vigilance at all times, I am afraid that others will poison me when I eat, I am afraid that others will assassinate me when I sleep, and I am afraid that I will not be able to recover because of a word from others in the court." I had to count everyone around me, because I hadn't reached the top yet, and I had fangs around me that were enough to kill people. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll shake these things out?" Ruobing's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible to see through her heart.
Xia Lang stretched out his index finger, hooked Ruo Bing's chin, and said jokingly: "You won't, because what I'm going to say next, I believe you will be happy to help me!"
Ruobing twisted her head in disgust, flashed a step to the side, and moved away from him, she didn't understand how there could be such a sinister person in this world, he could turn everyone around him into a pawn, people close to him, people he didn't know, including enemies.
"What I'm most willing to do is kill your father, will you still cooperate with me?" Ruobing looked at Xia Lang defiantly, his cold eyes seemed to freeze him.
"Why not?" said Sharon as if to say something inconsequential, "If you want to kill him, I want the world, but in fact, the affairs of the two of us are not in conflict, are they?"
Ruo Bing looked at the man in front of him in surprise, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "It's really ruthless enough, when will you do it?"
"Wait, wait for the right moment. When those two people are fighting. ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid your plan is going to fail, that person is going to marry the princess of Liao, and when the time comes, with the power of the two countries in hand, you will win the world in just a snap of your fingers, and you may not be able to move him again. Ruobing sneered.
"He can't marry the princess of Liao, and I have never worried about it. Sharon's words were full of confidence, as if everything was under control, he patted the dust on his hands, and walked towards the house, only to float a sentence from afar, "That person will not let him succeed, and I have a trick." He, hehe, maybe life is better than death!"
This man will either be in the same camp as him, or you will not understand to death how deeply you have been calculated. This is Ruobing's only thought at the moment.
On the same day, a piece of news spread, whether it is in the mountains and grasslands or in the countryside, whether it is above the court or in the deep mountains, as long as there are people everywhere, they know that Xia Xuehan, the king of Langya, is the illegitimate son of the emperor, and his mother is Yun Caixuan, the colorful butterfly fairy more than 20 years ago. Yun Caixuan and the emperor had a private affair and gave birth to a bad seed, while the former King Langya was Yan Lingge, a Jiangnan wanderer, who died of grief and anger after knowing this.
I don't know if this news is too shocking or someone is secretly fueling the troubles, and in less than three days, it has been boiling in the rivers and lakes.
***
In the Liao Kingdom Listening Snow Palace, Ling'er desperately dragged Princess Zhaomeng's sleeve, but she was still dragged out two feet away, leaving two marks on the ground.
"Princess, you can't leave the palace, a few days will be the day of harmony, if you disappear, the emperor will kill me!"
"He needs me by his side now!" is just a simple sentence, but it is full of tenderness, and there is infinite determination on her delicate face.
"No, no, there are so many people around him, princess, don't worry, let's prepare for marriage!"
"Anyway, it's all about marrying him, what does it matter if it's earlier or later, I want to be by his side, immediately!" Princess Zhaomeng shook off Ling'er and walked out of the house.
"Meng'er, where are you going?" I saw Emperor Yuanzong of the Liao State walking in a tiger stride, walking into the door with a team of guards, his face was gloomy.
"Father, I ......" Princess Zhaomeng didn't dare to look at Emperor Yuanzong's eyes, and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands.
"You have nothing to do with Xia Xuehan anymore, I have already announced to the world that the matter of peace and marriage will be cancelled!" Emperor Yuanzong said coldly.
"Father, how can you ......" Princess Zhaomeng's face was pale, and she took a few steps back in shock.
Emperor Yuanzong raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said: "Why not, it is better to lose faith in the world than to marry my most beloved daughter to a wild seed, Xia Guo but there is disobedience, and the war is, my Liao country is rich in land and resources, and there are many soldiers and generals, is it possible to be afraid of him?"
"You've fallen into a well!" Princess Zhaomeng shouted at Emperor Yuanzong out of nowhere she got the courage.
"Smack!"
A loud slap came, and Emperor Yuanzong raised his trembling finger at Princess Zhaomeng, and said angrily: "It seems that I have spoiled you too much over the years, and I actually talked to my father like this for an outsider." Come on, surround the Tingxue Palace, and from now on, the princess will not be allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step, otherwise you will wait for the head to land!"
Princess Zhaomeng covered her red and swollen cheeks, raised her sleeves to wipe the tears that came out of her eyes, and the white shadow swept towards the door in a flash, leaving only an afterimage in front of Emperor Yuanzong, but the person disappeared.
At this time, the four guards also moved, blocking in front of the white shadow, only to hear the sound of "bang", the palm wind was everywhere, the four guards retreated a few steps, and Princess Zhaomeng also stopped.
"Presumptuous, are you going to rebel?" Emperor Yuanzong shouted angrily.
Immediately, more than two dozen guards stood in front of them, forming an impregnable human wall.
