Is there any novel in which the heroine is not a bitch, not a fool, and not a Mary Sue?
I am Wang Ye’s secret guard, or his warm bed maidservant, he is not willing to give up the sweetheart, always come to torment me, I am disgusting, just want to escape, the opportunity has finally come, I want to marry to the prime minister’s mansion.
1. Forget it, I’ll marry you.
“The man relaxed and said to the girl beside him,” Long, don’t cry. Yuliu said she would marry you.
He didn’t even look at me.
I suddenly want to laugh.
This man’s name is Shen Tongwen, and he is my master, King Jing’an.
I am his dark guard, a little special, the kind of person who will have sex with him. The tearful girl in red beside
him was his sister Shen Mang.
When there was a flood in Nanzhou, my parents sold me to Jingan Wangfu for two bowls of rice porridge. When
I knelt in the yard, young Shen Tongwen just crossed the long corridor and stood in front of me.
He raised his chin slightly and said to the respectful housekeeper, “I’ll take this girl.”.
At that time, Shen Tung-wen was only fourteen years old, the age at which the sons of an aristocratic family were beginning to fall in love.
I’m emaciated and dirty.
He could see through my disheveled hair that I had a face similar to his sister’s.
It’s really sharp-eyed.
Or love to the bone marrow.
Shen Tongwen is very good to me, but not very good.
The good thing is that he taught me martial arts, gave me food and clothing, and raised me more and more similar to the spoiled Shen Mang. The
bad thing is that he used me as his most shady knife, so that my hands were stained with countless blood, and often entered my bed curtain at night, and I had a good time countless times.
Every time I slept in the middle of the night and was awakened by his rude teasing, I knew that Shen was angry with him again.
Shen has no blood relationship with him, but has the name of brother and sister.
He loved Shen Man-lang so much that he didn’t want to say a harsh word to her. Instead, he was cruel to me on the bed. He pinched my chin and said contemptuously, “If you weren’t somewhat similar to Man-lang, your cheap life would have been gone long ago.”.
I didn’t speak.
His eyes suddenly softened again and he said softly, “Yu Liu, you behave yourself. Don’t think about things you shouldn’t think about. I’ll treat you well.”.
I think this man is more or less mentally ill.
Later, my relationship with the two brothers and sisters formed a strange and stable cycle.
When Shen Manman lost his temper with Shen Tongwen, Shen Tongwen came to me and tortured me.
Shen was so angry that she came to satirize me. When I went back, she complained to Shen Tongwen.
Shen Tongwen reprimanded me, punished me, and then went back to coax people. It was not easy to coax them, but they made trouble again in a few days. It
goes round and round without end.
I don’t want to ***ing do it. I want to jump out of this cycle.
Just at this time, the emperor issued a decree to marry Shen Manman and the prime minister Yan Xuanting.
It is said that Yan Xuanting has a serious illness and will not live to be more than 30 years old. He is ruthless and has some problems with his sexual orientation.
So Shen was crying and unwilling to marry him.
It doesn’t matter. I do.
In a word, I took the place of Shen Manman to change into a wedding dress and sat in the sedan chair to welcome the bride.
Shen Long stopped crying, she looked at me, eyes cold, and a little carefree.
Yuliu.
She wiped away her tears, came over, put a jade bracelet into my hand, and whispered, “You go well. This is your destiny.”.
Brother, he belongs to me from now on.
With that, she raised her voice slightly and said softly, “Thank you, Yuliu..” I will always remember your great kindness.
I think these two people deserve to be brother and sister.
The brain comes down in one continuous line, which is not very good.
I put on a heavy phoenix crown, covered my head, sat in a sedan chair, and staggered all the way into the prime minister’s mansion.
In fact, I am quite happy in my heart.
This is my first time to wear a red dress, and I didn’t expect it to be a wedding dress. The
clothes are made according to Shen’s size. I wear a little too big, but it doesn’t matter.
Before, because Shen Mang loves to wear red, so Shen Tongwen forbade me to wear.
Coupled with my status as a dark guard, almost all I can wear is black.
Because the prime minister was ill and weak, a series of ceremonies of worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping guests were avoided and sent directly to the bridal chamber.
I sat in the room where the candle was beating. After a while, I heard the door open. Then the footsteps approached. I stopped in front of the bed. A long white hand lifted the veil.
I subconsciously raised my face to a pair of smiling eyes. The owner of the
eyes smiled and said to me, “You are not Shen Mang.”.
He really had a very pretty face, with pale dark eyebrows, clear, calm eyes, and lips that were slightly hooked and bloodless. The color of
this face is lighter, but it is like a layer of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which sets off the noble temperament of Tsinghua.
I’m not.
“I nodded frankly, my calves on my ankles, and I squinted at him.” How do you know?
I have seen Shen Mang.
“He said,” She’s not as pretty as you.
This sentence is extremely useful to me.
He immediately raised his head and smiled brightly at him. “Shen Man-lang heard some rumors about you and didn’t want to marry her, so I took her place.”.
“He nodded and asked me calmly,” Do you know that the crime of deceiving the king is to be beheaded? I
know, but I’m more skilled in martial arts, and there may not be too many people who can beat me.
He smiled at last, and when he smiled, his eyes turned down and his lips had a little color, and he looked very beautiful. Laughing,
he suddenly turned his head sideways and coughed twice. Then he turned back to me and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll marry you.”.
The long, bony fingers lifted my skirt slightly. The
red curtain of the bed was put down, and the wedding clothes on my body were peeled off inch by inch.
That.
“I spoke out again.” My virginity is gone.
Yen Hsuan-ting was gnawing at my collarbone when he raised his head and asked me with a smile, What is chastity?
He didn’t seem to mind at all, but slowly clung to my ear and whispered, “The powder is fragrant and the sweat is wet. The spring teases the crisp and melts the white phoenix paste.”. The
fire of desire kindled in his cool eyes until it became a sea.
But this poem was read out by him, and it was really not obscene at all, but hoarse and low, which made me move inexplicably. When I was
in a trance, I heard him ask me, “What’s your name?”?
I came to my senses a little bit. King Jing’an gave me the name Yuliu, but I didn’t like it.
He raised his upper body and gazed into my eyes in the warm yellow candlelight?
Xu Xu, my name is Xu Xu.
“I said,” King Jing’an said that the name was very cheap, and it didn’t match the temperament of their King Jing’an Palace.
Yen Hsuan-ting gave a sneer, and his tone was a little more haughty as if he had been born with it. The Chingan Mansion, which has an
empty reputation, really takes itself seriously. Then
he leaned down to kiss my eyes and said with a smile, “Then I’ll call you Xu Xu.”.
Xu Xu is a lovely name. When
my parents gave me this name, they only said that it was cheap and easy to feed.
Shen Tongwen disliked it very much, and Shen Mang looked down on it even more.
Yan Xuanting is the first person to say that my name is lovely.
Rumors are really fiercer than tigers, and can’t be true at all.
Such a person, gentle, like a good jade, where can be called ruthless. When I was taken to climb up the clouds
in a trance, I thought hazily: Shen Tongwen, what a useless thing.
So this kind of thing is so comfortable.
It was late into the night before we fell into a deep sleep.
I have good physical strength.
Yan Xuanting slept, but I didn’t.
I’m pretending to be asleep, mainly thinking.
Before I left, Shen Tongwen actually arranged the last task for me.
He said that as long as he finished the task, he would give me the antidote, and from then on I had nothing to do with Jingan Wangfu.
This task is to assassinate Yan Xuanting.
But suddenly I couldn’t bear to do it.
Because it’s really.. It’s so comfortable.
Yan Xuanting’s health is probably not very good. I always heard his low cough at night, thinking that he woke up, but he didn’t.
In retrospect, his white, slightly transparent face was not natural, but more like a morbid pallor. At dawn
, Yan Xuanting woke up. As soon as
he coughed twice, I handed him a cup of warm water. He looked at me with a smile in the broken light
outside the window and said, “I specifically told you that the servant girl didn’t stay at the door. Xu Xu, did you pour the water yourself?”?
“” No.
“I pursed my lips.” Last night’s tea was cold, so I heated it with internal force.
Xu Xu is really highly skilled in martial arts.
He praised me in a gentle voice, drank the tea in one gulp, and held me in his arms.
Yan Xuanting’s chest was warm, his long and soft hair brushed my cheek, and the touch was slightly itchy, making my heart tremble.
But I’m too embarrassed to say it directly, so I have to use action to hint.
Yan Xuanting insisted that I tell him directly.
Say it, Xu Xu. As a reward,
he dropped a kiss on my lips. Remember, if you have anything to say in the future, just tell me the truth. You never have to have any scruples.
I said yes.
And then let yourself sink.
It was not until daylight that we got up and dressed.
Yan Xuanting said that he would take me to the palace to see the emperor.
I nodded and did not tell him that before that, I had already fallen on the beams of the palace hall and had seen the emperor several times.
The young emperor was only seventeen years old this year. When he was thirteen years old, he was enthroned as emperor. It was Yan Xuanting who pushed him up and sat firmly in that position.
However, the emperor was suspicious, and the little emperor was in a stable position. Gradually, after he was in power, he became wary of Yan Xuanting. All
these things were told to me bit by bit by Shen Tongwen when he was a dark guard.
He said that the relationship between the little emperor and Yan Xuanting was very delicate.
Power struggles, mutual suspicion, and can not be separated from each other.
The carriage drove all the way to the palace. Yan Xuanting sat opposite me and looked at me with a smile.
Warm spring in April, his body is still covered with a thick cloak, black hair against a jade face, pale face, dark pupils, a slender neck below, Adam’s apple bulging, faintly showing the blue of blood vessels.
Very fragile.
As long as I exert myself gently.. It can be twisted off.
Last month, I was ordered by Shen Tongwen to sneak into a brothel. The man who broke his throat seemed to be Yan Xuanting’s subordinate.
I suddenly felt a rare sense of guilt. Just then
, I heard Yen Hsuan-ting ask me, “Xuxu, what are you thinking about when you are in such a trance?”?
“I answered subconsciously,” I miss you.
Then he came to his senses and saw him looking at me, squinting his eyes and smiling. His eyes seemed to disappear in an instant: I’m right in front of you. Why should I go somewhere else to think about it?
I pursed my lips and whispered, I’m thinking about your illness.
Shen Manman didn’t want to marry you because he heard that you were weak and sick and couldn’t live long. What does
Xu Xu think?
“I looked at him seriously.” You are very kind to me, and I don’t want you to die.
This sentence is sincere.
He seemed to enjoy it, too, and his smile became more and more brilliant. He just smiled and turned his head to cough violently. Then he said to me, “Don’t worry, I won’t die too early.”. The
rumor is true, as you can see, my body. Not good.
This is the sequela of poisoning, although not life-threatening, but the latter half of life is not very good.
But that’s all right. If I wasn’t weak and sick, how could the emperor rest assured to use me? The
carriage quickly entered the palace gate, followed the long lane, and stopped near the main hall.
Yan Xuanting took my hand and stepped into the hall. I saw the little emperor sitting on the Dragon Chair at a glance.
He walked down the steps and looked at my face for a moment. Then he turned to Yan Xuanting and asked, “Is this the sister of King Jing’an?”?
“Yen Hsuan-ting’s voice was mild:” This is my wife, Ye Xuxu.
If I remember correctly, Prime Minister Yan has come to ask me for a marriage, and it is the sister of King Jing’an. I have issued a decree to marry him, and it is also the Shen family.
The little emperor narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
I just stood there.
Was it Yan Xuanting who took a fancy to Shen Mang, so he specially asked for a marriage?
I felt as if I had been cheated.
Yan Xuanting turned his head, coughed several times, and even coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood. All of a sudden, the
symptoms were much worse than when we were alone.
In the face of the little emperor’s anxious but suddenly relaxed expression, he said lightly, “The person sent by King Jing’an is Xu Xu, and I only recognize her as my wife.”.
Yan Xiang is like an elder brother to me, and even more like a teacher. How can I let you suffer such a grievance?
The emperor is planning for me, and I know it in my heart, but I have already married Xuxu, and today I come to ask the emperor to give her a decent one.
Even if I leave, I can rest assured.
I had no idea that Yen Hsuan-ting had come to plead for me.
In the sound of his violent cough, the little emperor wrote down the imperial edict and sealed me a Gaoyang county governor.
Yan Xuanting bowed slightly and saluted to thank him.
The little emperor looked at him, his eyes slightly red, and said, “Yan Xiang is my minister. You should take care of yourself.”. When
we returned home, the spring breeze brought warmth. Yan Xuanting clasped my wrist with his cool fingertips and asked me in a low voice, Do you have something to ask me?
“I was silent and said,” I think your acting is very good. He
not only has good acting skills, but also has a wide range of acting skills.
In front of the little emperor is one thing, in front of me is another.
If you like Shen Mang, why do you want to marry me?
Who says I like Shen Mang?
You don’t like her. Why did you ask to marry her?
I asked to marry her because I knew Shen Tung-wen liked her, and I had a grudge against Shen Tung-wen.
He gazed into my eyes, the corners of his lips still slightly curved, but his smile had no warmth.
I began to think again.
Suddenly opened up a new way of thinking.
If Yan Xuanting also has a grudge against Shen Tongwen, can I cooperate with him to kill Shen Tongwen and get the antidote.
After all, when the poison broke out, I was still very painful.
And Yan Xuanting is more reliable than Shen Tongwen.
At least he is gifted in some ways, skillful, gentle and patient.
People are better looking.
I haven’t thought about the result yet, we are already standing at the gate of the prime minister’s mansion.
Yen Hsuan-ting, however, did not lead me in. Instead, he turned and walked out. “Come on, Xu Xu. I’ll take you to buy something.”. The things
he wanted to buy for me were Rouge, gouache, jewelry, and beautiful clothes.
These are things that other boudoir girls are used to, but I’ve never had.
Standing in the largest ready-to-wear shop in Beijing, I fell in love with a red skirt at a glance. I don’t know what kind of flowers are embroidered on the
skirt, but they are very beautiful.
I temporarily put aside the matter of killing Shen Tongwen and went in to try on the skirt.
As soon as he came out, he saw Shen Tongwen and Shen Wanlong stepping into the door at a glance.
Yen Hsuan-ting turned his back to them, but didn’t see them. He just smiled and praised me, “Xu Xu, you look really beautiful in a red dress. You’re bright and lively.”.
He seems to like to praise me very much.
And you can praise everything you catch, and you don’t repeat the words. I
just swept the Rouge in the gouache shop and said I was charming. I wore Dongzhu Buyao
in the jewelry store and said I was elegant. All the praise
I received in the eighteen years before my death added up to less than these two days. Behind
him, Shen Man-lang, dressed in a red dress, snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Dong Shi imitates others.”.
It seems that she is very confident in herself.
Hearing her voice, Yan Xuanting paused and then slowly turned around. King
Jing An.
Word by word, his voice was filled with traces of coldness.
He didn’t even look at Shen.
But Shen’s eyes seemed to be glued to his body. After staring at him for a long time, he finally pinched his throat and said softly, “Do you know my brother?”?
This unusually soft voice. The last time
I heard it was when she softly begged Shen Tongwen to break my legs and drive me out of Jingan Wangfu. “Of course,”
I said with an expressionless face, “I don’t know how to say hello.
“Ye Yu-liu!” Shen Long frowned and looked as if he wanted to scold me as before.
But she didn’t.
He just looked at me and bit his lip. “I didn’t ask you when I was talking to this young man. Why did you interrupt?”?
I feel speechless.
Obviously, when she came in, she had just heard Yan Xuanting praise me. How could she turn her face and forget it.
So I had no choice but to remind her, “Because the man you asked is my husband.”. Before
the words were out, I suddenly heard a light laugh from Yen Hsuan-ting, who was beside me.
He seems to be in a good mood.
I turned my face slightly sideways, right into his eyes.
Long, narrow and wet, but in the slightly dim light of the ready-to-wear store, it is particularly brilliant. Looking at Shen Long
again, she realized that her eyes were frozen on Yan Xuanting, and she didn’t even look at Shen Tongwen, who looked heavy around her.
You.. Are you Yan Xuanting?
Shen Manman took a deep breath and his voice trembled.
I suspect she may regret it.
After all, Yan Xuanting is much better looking than Shen Tongwen.
That pair of good-looking eyes, when smiling, reminds us of the snow water flowing down after the melting of the mountains, which is clear and clean.
Shen Tongwen’s eyes are not like this.
His heart was full of worldly desires, so his eyes were very muddy.
Thinking of this, I took a look at Shen Tongwen.
Shen Tongwen unexpectedly did not attend to the love of his life, only a pair of dark eyes staring at me, eyes showing a bit of cruelty.
Then he raised his hand slightly and showed me a touch of white between his fingers.
It was a white jade bottle that I used once a month, sealed with an antidote that could delay toxicity.
Do the math, there are less than five days left before this month’s poisoning.
No doubt, he was threatening me.
My desire to kill him suddenly became stronger.
Yes, I am Yen Hsuan-ting.
Yen Hsuan-ting gently bent his eyes, raised his hand, and clasped mine. Originally, I should have had a marriage with Miss Shen, but after all, there was no fate.
Perhaps he had stood for a long time in a room without sunshine, and his fingers were cold.
It’s just that it sounds like a pity.
In Shen’s suddenly pale face, Yan Xuanting threw down an ingot of silver and took my hand to the door.
The shopkeeper shouted behind us, “Your Excellency, the clothes your ladyship has changed –” “No.
Yen Hsuan-ting said lightly.
Originally, I was wearing clothes brought out from Jingan Wangfu. I don’t like the
black paint at all. Just
throw it away. When I
passed by the brother and sister of the Shen family, I saw Shen long biting his lip and looking at Yan Xuanting pitifully with a kind of sparkling eyes.
However, he did not squint, so he took me on his arm and went out.
Out of the door, the noise of the people blow on my face, and the brilliant and grand sunshine, rubbing my cheeks, falling in the ears of the hair.
I asked Yen Hsuan-ting in a low voice, “Are you very sorry that you didn’t have the chance to marry Shen Man-lang?”?
“” It’s fortunate.
“Yen Hsuan-ting finished with a straight face, then raised his eyes slightly and chuckled at me.” Aren’t you jealous, madam?
I was in a daze. How can
these two common words be said by him with so many meandering and lingering meanings.
That’s not true.
I said. The light in
his eyes dimmed slightly: “I take you out to go shopping, why mention that insignificant person.”.
Let’s go. There are still a lot of shops ahead.
This seems to be the busiest street in the capital. On both sides of the
street, the cries of sellers, the crisp sound of bells, mixed with the cheers of children running and chasing, came to my ears in a lively way.
For me, it’s too novel an experience.
It seems that those large missing blanks in life can be filled little by little in the hands of Yan Xuanting. When I was
in Jingan Wangfu, Shen Tongwen forbade me to go out during the day.
He said, “The dark guard must be accompanied by darkness, and I have done too many shady things for him to be exposed to people.”.
So I hid by day and went out by night. If
the night does not go out, the day must lie down. When I
went to a purse shop, Yan Xuanting insisted that I help him pick one.
Holding a pile of colorful purses in my hand, I was at a loss. The shopkeeper came up to me with enthusiasm and said, “Madam, why don’t you embroider one for your husband?”?
I’m confused.
My hands have held swords, stained with blood and killed people, but I have never touched an embroidery needle.
“But I won’t..” It’s all right. We have a good material package here. The pattern has been drawn. You just follow the tutorial. With
that, she put a bulging package into my hand.
I turned to look at Yan Xuanting.
He bowed his head, clenched his fist against his lower lip and coughed twice. “If you don’t like it, you won’t embroider,” he said with a smile.
I looked at his pale face in silence. It
‘s all right. I like it. You pay for it.
Yen Hsuan-ting gave me so many things, and it was right to return the favor and embroider a purse for him. That being said
, when I sat in front of the candle with the embroidery needle in my hand, I still didn’t get the first needle for a long time.
Yen Hsuan-ting had been sitting on the edge of the bed turning over a book, but now he dropped the book and sat down. He propped up his chin and looked at me. “What’s the matter, Xu Xu?”?
I am honest and street stall. I
don’t know where to start embroidering.
He smiled and took it from me.
Yan Xuanting is really a magical person, I never thought that he could even embroider, but also embroider very well. Without blinking,
I watched carefully as the outline of the green bamboo pattern gradually took shape under his hands.
Then he suddenly dropped his needle and thread and reached out to pull me.
It’s getting late. We’ll embroider tomorrow. Madam and I’d better rest early.
I remembered in time the fact that he was weak and sick, and I was afraid that he was not strong enough, so I took the initiative to throw myself at him and fell into his arms. His
chin hit his chest and he snorted.
I looked up at him. “Does it hurt?”?
“” It hurts.
“Yen Hsuan-ting lowered his head and said,” It will be better if you kiss your wife. There is no medical basis for
this method, and it is purely a kind of flirtation in the boudoir.
But I felt that it didn’t matter to coax Yan Xuanting, so I went over to kiss him with some jerkiness.
He suddenly turned the tables, reached out and picked me up and rolled onto the bed together.
“Strict..” I hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was disrespectful to call the prime minister by his name.
He smiled and kissed my eyes. “Why don’t you scream?”?
I question my mind honestly.
Yen Hsuan-ting narrowed his eyes and suddenly bit me on the shoulder as if he were punishing me. “Is it disrespectful for you and the prime minister to do this?” He said in a low voice?
“I thought what he said was very reasonable, so I urged,” Yen Hsuan-ting, hurry up. A drop of sweat rolled down
his forehead, perhaps because of emotion, and his pale face was somewhat charmingly red.
But stopped at the most critical moment.
“Good Xu Xu, call husband.”.
I called.
And then-help. When
Yan Xuanting fell asleep, his hands were still stroking my hair.
As the day dawned, I got up and went out just in time to bump into the girl who came in last night to change the bed. Her name was Chunxue.
She looked at me with wide-open eyes. “Is Madame awake?”?
The prime minister.. The prime minister was tired last night, and he must rest a little longer today.
Chunxue blushed and nodded, then asked me where I was going.
I pondered for a moment.
Go out to buy breakfast.
This, of course, is an excuse.
I’m going to get the antidote and meet Shen Tongwen by the way. How could I not understand the hint he gave me
yesterday.
But I didn’t expect that as soon as I met Shen Tongwen, he would ask me with a sullen face, “Why don’t you do it to Yan Xuanting?”?
I think his brain disease is getting worse and worse.
I only married in the past three days, Yan Xuanting died, and I was married for Shen long in the past, the emperor can not doubt him?
Besides, he’s the one I want to kill right now.
I didn’t answer, but his eyes stopped at my neck. Suddenly his eyes widened and he said angrily, “How could you and Yan Xuanting do such a thing?”?
!」 Only then did I realize that what he had just seen was the hickey that Yan Xuanting had left on my neck.
Hello, Yeh Yu-liu.
“He gritted his teeth and said with a sneer,” If you don’t do it, is it because Yen Hsuan-ting has served you too comfortably, and you’re not willing to give up?
“” Yes.
I said.
He didn’t seem to have expected me to be so Frank, and he said bitterly, “Yuliu, haven’t I treated you well enough?”? After
a pause, he suddenly said angrily, I knew you didn’t refuse me at the beginning.
Yeh Yu-liu, you dissolute woman! I put up with it for a while, but I still couldn’t hold back. “Find a doctor and have a look at your brain.”.
He took advantage of my poison to climb up on my bed and said he would have a good time with me before he gave me the antidote.
Later, I tasted the sweetness and threatened me with the antidote every time. In
the study, between the bed, all have. He made
me bleed all over and asked me if I was comfortable.
I’m comfortable with him.
Now I seriously doubt that he said I was dissolute, just looking for an excuse for his own failure.
After all, compared to Yan Xuanting, he is simply useless in bed.
I will find a chance to assassinate Yen Hsuan-ting, but you have to give me the antidote for this month first.
“I said,” Otherwise, I will suffer too much when I poison you, and I will probably give you up.
Shen Tongwen looked at me with a kind of creepy and cold eyes: Yuliu, your wings are hard.
But he brought me the antidote.
Holding the white jade vase in my hand, I turned to go, but he said, “Wait a minute. She said she wanted to see you alone.”.
Moments later, Shen and I were standing in the room.
She looked at me disdainfully and contemptuously, “Ye Yuliu, you skittish slut!”! It’s not enough to seduce my brother. Even Yen Hsiang has been deceived by you! Why do you start treating Shen Tung-wen like a brother again?
I looked at her doubtfully. The last time you came to see me alone, you said you were not related to him.
Shen’s expression stiffened.
Then she lifted her chin and said proudly, “Don’t get too excited. I’ll get what belongs to me back soon.”. The
conversation is finally over.
I didn’t want to stay in Jingan Wangfu for a moment, so I used my flying skills and rushed to the prime minister’s mansion.
Halfway through, I also bought two freshly baked meat pies to prove that I really came out to buy breakfast.
As a result, when he returned, Yan Xuanting was no longer in bed.
I took the two cakes to the front hall to look for him.
Standing at the end of the side corridor of the hall, I saw him leaning on the cushioned armchair, holding his chin lazily. More than half of
the noble and handsome face was hidden in the shadow, the light and shadow were bright and dark, and when it fell on him, it happened to be a very dark color, so that I could not see the emotions in his eyes.
I could only hear his lazy, emotionless voice: “Kill it.”.
Then came a man’s desperate cry for help: “Master Xiang, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time..” Yen Hsuan-ting coughed and sighed, “You betrayed me and hurt my people. How can I spare you?”?
With that, he turned his head away from looking at him. Tired, he said lightly, “Let’s drag it out.” His voice suddenly stopped.
Separated by a half-hidden screen, he and I looked at each other in the distance, and his expression suddenly softened.
“Xu Xu.”.
He said to me, Come here, come to me.
I walked over and stood beside him. I glanced down the hall and saw that he had disappeared. That’s a quick
move.
He covered his lips and coughed violently several times. He looked at me with a white and bloodless face. His voice was very soft. “Xu Xu, did I scare you?”?
I shook my head. I’m afraid I’ve
killed more people than he’s eaten. What’s there to be afraid of.
Yan Xuanting gave way to the side and pulled me to sit beside him. The
spacious armchair is more than enough for the two of us.
All right, don’t be afraid. I’m dealing with bad people.
Gentle and soothing, coaxing the tone of a little girl.
The first time I killed someone, I was really afraid.
But Shen Tongwen just frowned at me and scolded me: “Useless things.”.
Later, I killed a lot, and when I became numb, I was not afraid.
Yan Xuanting hooked my shoulder and took me into his arms, following my hair.
I leaned over his chest, held up the meat pie in my hand, and made a perfect explanation for my whereabouts in the morning: “I bought you breakfast, and if you didn’t eat it, it was still hot.”.
As Yen Hsuan-ting took the meat pie and did not suspect me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Let’s slow down the cooperation
with him for a while.
Just now he dealt with his men who betrayed him so ruthlessly and without mercy.
If he knew that I was the dark guard beside Shen Tongwen who had killed several of his men, it was estimated that my fate would be even more miserable than that man’s.
But I.. I can’t bear to part with him.
I counted the days and waited until the night when I should have been poisoned. I announced to Yan Xuanting that I was not feeling well and that I had to sleep alone tonight.
He was stupefied, a look of sudden enlightenment, turned around and asked the kitchen to make black sugar, red dates and ginger soup.
He also said, “Xu Xu, you are not feeling well. It will be better if I sleep with you in my arms.”. It took
me a while to realize that Yen Hsuan-ting thought I had come to Guishui.
But Shen Tongwen poisoned me when I was thirteen years old, and I wouldn’t come to Guishui at all.
No.. No way. It took
me a while to think of a reason. When I’m not feeling well, I like to sleep alone.
Shen Tung-wen’s antidote must be used after the poison has spread in order to suppress the poison.
But when the poison hair I will be extremely painful, the face is ferocious, I am afraid to frighten Yan Xuanting.
I’m afraid of revealing my identity. As I curled up in bed
at night, a bone-chilling chill spread from my heart to my limbs, accompanied by a sharp, stabbing pain.
I bit my lip and poured down the antidote in the white jade bottle. When I was in a trance of
pain, I remembered something.
On one occasion, Shen Tongwen did not know where to read some spring palace scripts and said that he would come back and try a new way of playing with me.
I don’t want to try.
He sneered, “Yu-liu, I’m your master. Your life is mine, not to mention your body.”.
That month, he never gave me the antidote.
It was not until I was poisoned and the pain was the most severe that he came and pinched me black and blue. Cut my shoulder
with a tiny dagger and suck the blood from the wound.
He also asked me, “Yu-liu, do you feel comfortable?”?
I wanted to scold him, but it hurt so much that I didn’t even have the strength to make a sound.
Finally, before I passed out from the pain, he grabbed my throat and poured the antidote in.
I bit my lips until they were bloody, and I curled up in a ball and trembled. In
the hazy light, someone stretched out a warm and cool finger and pried open my teeth little by little. His voice was hurried: “Xu Xu, don’t bite.” I bit the finger without mercy, and my teeth were embedded in the flesh and blood.
The man was not angry, but gently stroked my hair with his other hand.
Perhaps it was my illusion that his hand seemed to tremble slightly.
I rolled over and crashed into a warm embrace.
The next morning, I woke up in Yan Xuanting’s arms.
He looked at me tenderly and asked, “Do you still feel bad?”?
I shook my head and got out of bed and dressed. After
a pause, he turned around and explained, “Every time I come to Guishui, it hurts so much.”.
Trying to cover up more than you can, it’s a bit like there’s no silver here.
As a result, the voice did not fall, the door suddenly came a voice: “Gui water pain?”?
As it happens, I brought back some symptomatic medicine. Would you like to try it, sister-in-law?
Very lively and sweet voice.
I turned my head.
I saw a little girl in a yellow dress with a bright smile jump in front of me. She took my hand and looked at my face. After a moment, she said, “Beautiful, brother, you are really convinced.”.
As soon as he finished, he was pulled away by his collar. Yan Jiuyue, stay away from my wife. I don’t know
when Yen Hsuan-ting got out of bed. He was wearing only a thin dress, and his face was still as white as paper.
I quickly took the cloak he had been wearing a few days ago and put it on him. “Yan Xuanting, be careful not to catch cold.”. When
he raised his hand to close the button, I saw clearly that there was a scar on his index finger.
Flesh and blood are blurred, and bones can be seen deeply.
I froze in place. The voice of Yan Jiuyue
behind me came to my ears: “Is there any humanity? I just came back and you showed your love in front of me?”?
Brother, I told you that I brought back a lot of medicine this time, and maybe you and your sister-in-law can use it. But I just looked at Yan Xuanting in front of me, unable to speak.
His eyes were still calm and gentle. He raised his hand to touch my head and whispered, “All right, let’s go to dinner.”.
Yan Jiuyue is the younger sister of Yan Xuanting. Doing business
abroad, he dabbled in a wide range of industries and blossomed everywhere.
This time, she had just returned from a trip to the western regions and was going to stay at home for half a year.
At the beginning, because of the long existence of Shen, I had a very serious psychological shadow on my sister.
I asked Yan Jiuyue, “Are you related to Yan Xuanting by blood?”?
She was stupefied for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. She patted her chest and assured me, Absolutely brother and sister.
I also soon discovered that Yan Jiuyue and Shen Mang were completely different people. The day after
she came back, she brought several people home to measure me and said she wanted to make more clothes.
Still holding several boxes full of precious stones, let me choose the color and make jewelry. Before Yan Xuanting left
in the morning, Wen Sheng told me, “Xu Xu, the court is not peaceful these days. I will be a little busy. Let Jiuyue accompany you.”.
“I thought about it and said to him,” If you need any help from me, just ask.
“He smiled, leaned over, kissed me on the cheek, and whispered,” Good.
Apparently he didn’t take my words seriously.
But I’m serious. I can’t help you with
anything else. I can help you kill two people.
After seeing off the people who made jewelry and clothes, Yan Jiuyue said she would sit with me for a while and went into the room with me.
As soon as she entered the door, she took a glance at the small table by the window, where Yan Xuanting embroidered more than half of the purse.
Sister-in-law, did you embroider this?
It’s so beautiful! I shook my head. “No, your brother embroidered it.”.
“She suddenly lost interest.” Oh, when you look at it carefully, it’s just plain.
But my brother’s craftsmanship is really good. Our parents left early. When I was a child, my clothes were torn, and he mended them for me.
Yan Jiuyue told me something about the past.
For example, they grew up in a poor family, and it was Yan Xuanting who supported her while studying.
Later, Yan Xuanting won the Number One Scholar and became an official, bringing her to the capital. It took
him nine years to ascend step by step from a minor official in the Imperial Academy to a very important minister.
Yan Jiuyue is very talented in business, Yan Xuanting let her do business, with his reputation, even if Yan Jiuyue a woman opened a shop restaurant, local ruffians and scoundrels also dare not come.
In the end, Yan Jiuyue laughed and said, “Actually, you bought this purse in my store. I can recognize it.”.
Yan Jiuyue is so cute.
I’m so ashamed.
At first, I even compared her with people like Shen Mang.
When Yan Jiuyue finished, she suddenly remembered something and took out a small wooden box from her purse and looked at me with bright eyes.
By the way, sister-in-law, didn’t you say that Guishui hurt last time?
This is the medicine I got from a very good doctor. You can try it.
I was silent for a moment, reached for the medicine, and thanked her for her kindness. A few days
later, Yan Jiuyue told me that the doctor had come to the capital, and she decided to stay for a few more months just for him.
I suddenly had other thoughts.
That doctor, if really very fierce, can solve the poison that Shen Tongwen gives me?
Yan Jiuyue said she would take me to see him, but I didn’t refuse.
The doctor, Chu Mu, was very handsome, but he was still a little worse than Yan Xuanting.
I seriously doubt that Yan Jiuyue’s intention is not to drink.
She said a few words to Chu Mu in a soft voice with difficulty, but he always looked cold and did not buy it.
So Yan Jiuyue also lost interest and waved her hand. “That’s all right. I didn’t mean to disturb you today. My sister-in-law had a severe pain in Guishui, so she came to you to feel her pulse.”. Then
, fearing that I would be shy, she went out first and waited for me outside the door.
Chu Mu felt my pulse and raised his eyes to look at me coldly.
He said, “Madam has never been to Guishui before. How can it hurt?”?
It seems that this man is really very powerful.
I said, “I don’t have a pain in the water, I have been poisoned.”. Then
I took out the white jade bottle and put it in front of him.
Chu Mu studied it carefully for a while and told me that it should be a kind of strange medicine developed in the period of the first emperor, which was used to quickly enhance the force, but the price was that he was poisoned by strange poison, which broke out every month, and the antidote was precious and hard to find, so most of them could only rely on some short-acting antidotes to alleviate the toxicity.
He said that the antidote was probably only in the hands of the person who poisoned it.
I was silent for a long time and asked him, “Will you prepare this short-acting antidote?”?
You can try.
Chu Mu finished and paused. But this short-acting antidote is another kind of poison. If you use it too much, the two poisons will conflict with each other, and you will probably die.
It’s all right, you deserve it.
I took out a gold leaf from Yan Xuanting from my bosom and put it on his desk. “Don’t tell Yan Jiuyue about this,” I told him. When
we returned to the prime minister’s mansion, it was already dark.
The housekeeper said that Yan Xuanting had come back and was in the study. “Sister-in-law,” said
Yan Jiuyue, “go to the study and ask your brother to come over. I’ll wait for you in the main hall for dinner.
Then he hopped off.
I went to the study to look for someone, but the door was unclosed and Yan Xuanting was not in the room. When I
got to the desk, I saw a letter on it, and the handwriting looked familiar.
Pick it up. What it says, it’s about me. The
letter said that Ye Yuliu, formerly known as Ye Xuxu, was a skittish and naturally dissolute person. When he was in Jingan Wangfu, he seduced Shen Tongwen and became his servant girl. Later, he took away Shen Tongwen’s sister’s marriage and married Yan Xuanting as a boudoir woman.
I meditate. Does
Shen think I can’t recognize her handwriting?
Xu Xu, don’t look.
I followed the sound and looked up to find Yen Hsuan-ting standing in the doorway.
His eyes were heavy, but there was a trace of panic in his expression. After
a moment’s silence, I waved the letter paper at him and said, “Actually, there are some things in this letter that are right. Although I didn’t take the initiative to seduce them, Shen Tung-wen and I did.” I didn’t say the following words.
Because Yan Xuanting hurried through the study, stood in front of me, brushed most of the books, ink and paper off the table, then hugged me up, put it against my forehead, and kissed my eyes a little bit.
He still had the damp chill of an April evening. The
newly made water red skirt and moon white shirt fell to the ground, revealing the yellow embroidered clothes.
I raised my head slightly and looked at him without blinking.
Xu Xu, you remember.
“He stopped and said,” a woman’s chastity is never under her skirt. You are very good. You are cleaner than people in Jingan Wangfu. When Yan Xuanting and
I went to dinner, we had already changed our clothes.
As soon as I entered, Yan Jiuyue looked at me plaintively. “Brother, sister-in-law, can you go back in the evening and talk about it?”?
This soup has been heated three times.
Yen Hsuan-ting gave her a shredded chicken roll and said lightly, Eat. As I
ate, I was still thinking about the letter.
You’re good at making up.
When I kill Shen Tongwen, it’s better to kill one and send Shen away together.
But before I could do it, I heard the news of Shen’s accident three days later.
It is said that the sister of King Jing’an, Shen Manman, ate the exotic flowers of the Western Regions by mistake. Her face was ruined and her voice was hoarse. She could not speak for several months.
It’s not that I’m sensitive. Is
really the western exotic flower these four words, very prominent. At
dinner, I mentioned this matter in a euphemistic way. Yan Jiuyue immediately said excitedly, “Yes, that flower is very magical. It’s also precious and hard to find in the Western Regions. It’s not easy for me to..” “Long Moon.”.
“Yen Hsuan-ting said lightly, picking up a chopstick and putting it Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs on her plate.” Today the kitchen has cooked the dish you like. Eat more.
Yan Jiuyue obediently lowered her head to eat and did not go on.
But I’ve got it.
That evening, Yan Xuanting brought back the damp wind from the outside.
Xu Xu, don’t just eat, have some soup.
Yen Hsuan-ting put a bowl of sweet soup in a small celadon bowl in front of me. I took a sip, and it was very sweet.
But my mood is even sweeter.
I can’t describe the wonderful feeling, but it seems that after eighteen years of silence, the heart of a pool of stagnant water is gradually rippling. The reflection in the
water is Yan Xuanting’s eyes full of clear smiles. Before I went to bed
at night, I said to him, “Actually, I can handle it myself. You don’t have to offend Shen Tongwen for me.”.
He chuckled and planted a kiss on my forehead. Is a
mere mansion of King’s Ancestor worth offending? The
tone looked down on Shen Tongwen’s appearance.
Although I also think Shen Tongwen is not a good thing, but when he first trained me, he told me that Jing’an Wangfu was very powerful, and he was the most valued confidant of the late emperor since 30 years ago.
I asked the question in my mind.
Yan Xuanting said that Shen Tongwen was lying to me.
Old King Jing’an was the elder brother of the late emperor’s favorite concubine. Because the late emperor was particularly fond of that concubine, he was given the title of a king with a different surname. He had no real power in his hands.
Later, when the emperor ascended the throne and wanted to take off their titles, Shen Tongwen volunteered to train the dark guards and do those shady things for the emperor, which saved the titles.
I see.
Shen Tongwen is so ***ing pretentious.
But I was so nervous that my throat was tight and I couldn’t even speak. When
Yan Xuanting said the word “dark guard”, I almost asked him if you knew something.
And I think this is too self-confessed.
I had to try to observe his expression out of the corner of my eye, and found that he looked as usual, and there was nothing unusual, which made me feel a little relieved. A
few days later, I heard that Shen had moved to a warm place in the south of the Yangtze River in order to raise her face. It was
also at this time that Chu Mu sent over the short-acting antidote he had prepared.
Mrs. Yen had better get the antidote as soon as possible and understand the poison.
“Chu Mu said,” Using poison to overcome poison is not a long-term solution after all.
I said I knew.
He looked at me, hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally left.
I stopped him in time.
I.. My husband told me yesterday that he was going to find a marriage for Jiuyue.
Actually, Yen Hsuan-ting didn’t say that.
But recently Yan Jiuyue was depressed, probably because of Chu Mu.
I am determined to help her.
It happened that the pull between Shen Tongwen and Shen Mang began with a non-existent marriage.
I think this method is good and can be used.
Sure enough, Chu Mu paused and froze in place. “What does that mean, Mrs. Yen?”?
I tried to organize the language and hinted euphemistically, “I think you and Jiuyue are quite suitable. Why don’t you come to propose marriage?”?
I haven’t done this kind of thing, and it’s still a little bit unsubtle.
Chu Mu completely froze, and after a while dropped a sentence, “I’m not worthy of the prime minister’s sister,” and then walked away without looking back.
I had no choice but to convey the result of this failure to Yen Hsuan-ting. Unexpectedly, he asked me, “Why did Xu Xu ask him to come to the mansion?”?
」「…… Deliver medicine.
“” Medicine? As soon as I closed my
eyes, I began to lie: It’s the medicine for the pain of Guishui. I’ll prepare more first.
Yen Hsuan-ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly hooked his lips and slid his hand all the way down through the hem of my little coat, covering his lower abdomen. The warmth
from his palm made my cheeks burn slightly and my heart itch.
I twisted my body and looked at him in bewilderment. I’ve
heard that if you rub it, it won’t hurt. I’ll try it for you first, OK? When I got up
the next morning, it was raining outside.
Yan Xuanting helped me dress one by one and took a comb to pull my hair.
I steadied my step and said, “I think you’re getting better.”. I’ve
been tossing about for most of the night, but I haven’t coughed, and I seem to be in good health. After a pause
, Yen Hsuan-ting laughed. He put his hand on my arm and whispered, “Well, madam is my good medicine.”.
In the afternoon, when Yen Hsuan-ting was not at home, a few matchmakers suddenly came to the house.
Said to choose a husband for Yan Jiuyue, but also brought a thick roster.
I asked Yan Jiuyue, “Is that what your brother meant?”?
No, that’s what I mean.
She bit her lip, with a haughty look in her eyes. She looked very much like Yen Hsuan-ting. It’s not that I can’t get married. Since he doesn’t like me, why should I chase him?
I think so, too.
She is lively and generous, bright and lovely, and she can make money. Not being able to
marry her is Chu Mu’s loss.
I was determined to choose a good marriage for Yan Jiuyue, so I turned the roster page by page carefully from beginning to end. In
the middle of it, Yan Xuanting brought back a message that he was going to Nanzhou to do business.
The rain has been falling for more than ten days.
The rain never stopped, and the water got deeper and deeper. Even in
the capital, it is even more serious in the south. The river dike outside the city
of Nanzhou burst again, and the river poured into the city, and the people were in dire Straits.
South State.
That’s.. Where I was born.
I bit my lip, and my heart was empty and helpless.
Yan Xuanting suddenly hugged me into his arms and put his chin on the top of my hair.
Xuxu, I have to go there to thoroughly investigate the Nanzhou dam.
His voice was deep and solemn. The dam has only been completed for 30 years, but it has already burst nearly ten times. Every time there is a heavy rain, there must be an accident. It must have been jerry-built when it was built.
Moreover, it was Shen Tung-wen’s father, the old King of Ching-an, Shen Fu, who was responsible for the construction of the Chi-chiang dam 30 years ago.
I pulled away a little and looked at him intently.
Yan Xuanting lowered his head and kissed me on the lips.
Xu Xu, you’re from Nanzhou, aren’t you?
I told him that I was sold into the Jingan Mansion after the Nanzhou flood five years ago.
Don’t be afraid, I make decisions for you.
Yen Hsuan-ting moves very quickly.
He collected evidence, raised suspicions, and under the thunderous anger of the little emperor, he asked for a decree to rush to Nanzhou. The night before I
left, I offered to go with him.
I said, I can protect you.
“” Really.
I’m not kidding.
Yen Hsuan-ting shook his head, smiled helplessly, and covered me with the quilt. I’m going on an errand, and someone will protect me. Besides, I’ve been getting better recently, and nothing will happen to me.
I wanted to struggle again, but he put a finger to my lips.
“Xu Xu.”.
What a gentle voice, saying my name.
The candlelight flickered in front of my eyes, shaking out intoxicating waves.
I put my heart in you.
You have to protect yourself and protect my heart, okay?
About a quarter of an hour later, I got up to pour a cup of tea. When he
looked back, Yan Xuanting had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
At the moment, there was a faint black, which was left by the recent tiredness.
I lay carefully on the outermost side of the bed and looked at him without blinking.
Long and moist eyelashes, high nose, pale lips.
He is really good-looking.
I forgot when I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was wrapped in the quilt and sleeping in the middle of the bed, while Yan Xuanting was dressed neatly and standing beside the bed. He looked
into my eyes and was slightly stunned. “Xu Xu, did I wake you up?”?
I shook my head.
He suddenly remembered something and took a purse from the small table beside him.
The green bamboo on it was embroidered by him stitch by stitch.
The purse was handed to me, heavy and unfastened, revealing a bag full of gold leaves.
Xu Xu, just take it and use it. If you don’t have enough, ask Jiu Yue for it.
He reached out his hand and touched my hair. I’m leaving. I’ll be back soon.
He did come back soon.
But when I went, I went in good health. When I
came back, it was very bad. Not long after
Yan Xuanting left, victims came to Beijing one after another.
I took out the gold leaves he gave me and set up a porridge shed.
Yan Jiuyue came to help, help, Chu Mu also came.
He said the victims were weak and had to take some of his typhoid medicine, otherwise it could cause a plague.
This is indeed a serious reason.
If his eyes hadn’t been glancing at Yan Jiuyue when he was helping, I would have believed him.
Later, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the court settled the victims one after another. It was late afternoon when the
last victim was taken away. As soon as
the rain stopped, the housekeeper rushed through the door in a panic and said that Yan Xuanting had come back.
I dropped my chopsticks and ran out to see Yan Xuanting, supported by others, pale as paper and coughing violently.
As soon as he entered the gate of the prime minister’s mansion and saw me, he pulled the corners of his lips and said “Xu Xu” with his mouth. His head tilted and he fainted.
At that moment, the world fell before my eyes.
Chu Mu happened to be in the mansion. He felt the pulse and said that Yan Xuanting was cold after falling into the water, which brought out the sequelae of poisoning that had just been pressed down. Coupled with the
infection of cold, it is more serious.
I heard my cold voice: “Why did I fall into the water?”?
“Yan Jiuyue shook her head and suddenly said,” My brother brought someone with him when he went there. He’s still waiting in the side hall. Come and ask.
I almost flew to the wing.
The man kneeling in the hall told me that Yan Xuanting seemed to have found something crucial and wanted to rush back to the capital and hand over the evidence to the emperor.
But on the way to the capital, he was suddenly pushed into the water, and then the man who pushed him jumped into the water and escaped.
They rescued Yan Xuanting and hurried all the way back to Beijing.
I pulled out the dagger and pressed it against his neck, making a blood stain.
Useless. I
regret it so much that I should have gone with Yen Hsuan-ting.
With me, no one can hurt him.
But it’s too late to say anything. When
Yan Xuanting woke up in the middle of the night, I was in front of his bed. I woke up when
he moved lightly. I looked up at him and suddenly felt my nose sour.
Xu Xu, don’t cry.
He stretched out his hand to help me tidy up my messy hair. I’m fine. I’m back.
Fortunately, there is Chu Mu.
He opened the medicine one by one, and Yan Xuanting’s body improved a little bit, which was more effective than imperial physician sent by the emperor.
The little emperor had already issued a decree ordering Yan Xuanting to have a good rest in the mansion and return to the palace for an audience after recovering from his illness.
But this isn’t over. Late
at night, Yan Xuanting drank the medicine and went to sleep. I sneaked all the way into Jingan Wangfu and landed on Shen Tongwen’s roof.
I waited for more than hour, and finally Shen Tongwen’s gloomy voice came from the room. Not only did
you not kill Yen Hsuan-ting, but you let him bring the evidence back to the capital.
Now that even the emperor knows, what should he do?
“Wang Ye, spare my life!” A familiar voice.
This man is called Lei Yun, is also Shen Tongwen’s dark guard, but also with me together to kill people.
My subordinates didn’t expect that Yan Xiang would be so vigilant. My subordinates followed him all the way, and they didn’t find an opportunity until they returned to Beijing.
It was quiet for a while.
Lei Yun asked tentatively, “I heard that Yu Liu is with Yan Xiang now. Why don’t you..” She’ll do it?
Ye Yu-liu.
Shen Tongwen’s voice was cold.
She was served comfortably by Yen Hsuan-ting, and she refused to listen to me long ago, thanks to my kindness to her.
Do you deserve to say that? Although my father supervised the construction of
the dam, the king has done so much for the emperor, and he still wants me to check and balance the court, so I don’t think he will do it so quickly.
Prepare the horses. Tomorrow morning we’ll go straight out of Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River to see Long Man.
Lei Yun took the order to go.
I crouched on the roof and did not move.
Prepare the horses? A good chance to come to the
door. At daybreak
, I sneaked into the stables of Jingan Wangfu and did something on the horse that Shen Tongwen was used to riding.
Nothing, just a long silver needle stuck by a small mechanism under the saddle. As long as
he rides for a while, the mechanism will be stuck by vibration, and the silver needle will pop out and penetrate deeply into the horse’s back.
After all this, I went back to the prime minister’s mansion.
Yen Hsuan-ting had already woken up. Holding my hand, he asked me, “Why are your hands so cold?”?
I opened my mouth and made up a far-fetched excuse:.. Sleep a little hot, go out to cool off for a while.
Yen Hsuan-ting actually believed it.
I even wondered if he would believe me if I said I jumped into the lake for a swim. Most of
his illness has been cured, but he has not recovered from typhoid fever, and he still has some cough.
I wanted to kiss him and was pushed away: “Xu Xu, be careful that I am too sick to give you.”.
I lifted my skirt and showed him the lines of my stomach muscles, trying to prove myself: I’m in good health.
As a result, Yen Hsuan-ting’s eyes darkened little by little.
He put his hand to his lower lip and coughed twice. He turned his head with some difficulty and said, “Xu Xu, don’t do this. I really..” I miss you very much.
I suggested at the right time, “Next time you go out on a business trip, take me with you, so you won’t miss me.”.
More importantly, you won’t get hurt again. Even if
I fight for my life, I can’t let this happen again.
Yan Xuanting moved and turned to look at me.
His eyes are like the quiet lake in the moonlight.
“Xu Xu.”.
“He said,” Marrying you is the luckiest thing in my life.
“I said,” You almost married Shen Mang. The corners of
his curled lips fell down, and he stroked his forehead helplessly. Madam is really upright and lovely.
I realized later that it was a love word.
In fact, he wants to say that I don’t understand amorous feelings.
Alas.
Until dinner, Yan Xuanting and I stepped into the door and found that Chu Mu was also there.
And sitting next to Yan Jiuyue.
Yan Xuanting looked at him thoughtfully. After a
meal, Yan Jiuyue suddenly said, “Today I went to the store to look at the business. When I came back, I heard that King Jing’an startled his horse and fell off it, breaking one of his legs.”.
“” Is it.
Yen Hsuan-ting answered faintly, reached out his hand and put a chopstick of shrimp dumplings into my bowl. “Don’t just laugh, Xu Xu.”.
Yen Chiu-yueh exclaimed, pointing at me with her chopsticks. “Sister-in-law, you’re laughing so happily!” Is it?
“I touched my face to restore my seriousness.” No, I was actually grieving for King Jing’an’s misfortune. After
dinner, Yan Xuanting said he was going to deal with some political affairs and asked Yan Jiuyue to accompany me for a while.
I’m guessing he’s going to go sort through the evidence he brought back from South Carolina. “It’s all right,”
he said. “I’ll go to the courtyard to enjoy the moon.
Leave the space to Chu Mu and Yan Jiuyue. After
summer, the evening will not be too cold.
Unexpectedly, I sat under the porch for only half an hour, and Yan Jiuyue came out angrily. With tears in
his eyes, he said he wanted to drink with me.
I asked her, “Where is Chu Mu?”?
“” Dead.
Yan Jiuyue finished coldly, paused for a moment, and her voice recovered a little: “I’m sorry, sister-in-law, I’m not angry with you..” It’s okay.
I went back to my room with her, and Yan Jiuyue took out a jar of wine and filled it directly with a bowl. After pouring down two bowls
in succession, she told me that Chu Mu told her that she already had a fiancee.
I pounded the table and staggered to my feet. “Is he cheating on you?”?
“No..” I’m going to kill him.
As soon as I turned my head, I bumped into a warm chest and snorted.
A hand reached over and rubbed my forehead. “Xu Xu, does it hurt?”?
It’s Yen Hsuan-ting.
I looked up at him. “Have you finished your political affairs?”?
“” Mmm.
He put his arm around my waist, frowned slightly, and looked at Yan Jiuyue behind me. Did you drink? I
drank a little, no more, no more.
“I turned to look at Yan Jiuyue.” Where is Chu Mu-jen?
I’ll kill him.
Xu Xu, you are drunk.
Yan Jiuyue came over, and her tone was full of apologies: “I’m sorry, brother. I don’t know how much my sister-in-law can drink..” I shook my head and turned to look at her seriously. “I’m not drunk. I’m highly skilled in martial arts. I won’t get drunk.”.
Until Yen Hsuan-ting dragged me back to my room.
I told him repeatedly, “I’m not drunk.”.
“Yen Hsuan-ting coaxed me,” Well, I’m not drunk.
He took off my shoes and socks, untied my skirt, removed the hairpin from my hair, and placed me properly in the quilt.
When he turned to go, I grabbed his belt and dragged him back to bed.
Then I started to strip him.
Yen Hsuan-ting coughed several times in succession, avoiding my kiss. “No, Xu Xu, I haven’t recovered from typhoid fever, and I’ll give it to you when I’m over it.”.
I turned a deaf ear: “But I feel bad..” The shadow of the candle swayed, and he looked at me in the ambiguous yellow light.
After all, he sighed and put down the bed curtain.
Xu Xu, tell me when you feel uncomfortable, OK?
The joy of the rippling smoke was crushed inch by inch by his light or heavy strength, and embedded in my bones and blood. When I woke up
the next day, I found my skirt rubbing Yan Xuanting’s clothes and throwing them all over the floor.
This is ridiculous.
But Yan Xuanting can even praise this. “Her ladyship,”
he said, “is so cute when she gets drunk and hot.
I stopped my chopsticks and asked him seriously, “If I beat you up, would you think I’m cute?”?
“He was unperturbed:” Naturally, my wife is highly skilled in martial arts. She is different from most delicate women in the boudoir. She is really lovely.
‘All right.
I lost.
After breakfast, he went to court, and I went back to my room, intending to sleep again.
Last night was ridiculous. Besides, I had a headache after drinking.
But as soon as I entered the door, I immediately became alert. Someone was in the
house. Looking around
, I fixed my eyes on the table by the window.
An incense burner was slowly emitting white smoke. The smell
of ecstasy.
I poured a burner of incense ashes out of the window, and when I turned around, I found that there was a paper victory in the place of the original incense burner.
Spread out, there are only two words written on it.
-Go home.
Naturally, it could not have been written by Yan Xuanting. What’s wrong with
Shen Tongwen?
I thought for a moment and found that as a normal person, I could not simulate his train of thought, so I gave up. Knead
the paper into a ball and put it into the incense burner to burn it clean. Without the interest of catching up on sleep,
I simply picked up the book that Yan Xuanting had been reading a few days ago to see what he was reading. Mrs. Jiang in the
kitchen told me that if a woman wants to live in harmony with her husband for a long time, she must keep up with each other.
Although I can read, I haven’t read many books.
It’s time to learn something new.
I picked up the book whose cover read “The Art of War”. After
turning over two pages, he blushed and put it down silently.
I suddenly understood why Yan Xuanting, who had never married before, could make me so comfortable.
He actually.. Having made such a detailed annotation, it is really a model of seeking knowledge and learning.
In the afternoon, Chu Mu came to the mansion again, looking haggard, and said he wanted to see the moon for a long time.
I suddenly remembered what she had said last night and pulled out the dagger from my waist. In a flash of
cold light, the sharp blade had reached Chu Mu’s neck. Since
you already have a fiancee, why do you still want to cheat on Jiuyue’s feelings? As
I questioned, I wondered where to start with the knife.
Chu Mu didn’t panic at all. He just looked at me heavily and said, “Mrs. Yan asked me to see the moon for a long time. Even if I wanted to kill Chu, Chu didn’t complain.”.
“I said,” But if I kill you now, you won’t have time to complain.
“He was silent for a moment.” Mrs. Yen is straightforward.
It’s just that Chu’s fiancee passed away five years ago, and my wife knows that it’s not her that lies between me and Jiuyue, but someone else?
His tone sounded very sincere. I hesitated for a moment, but put the dagger away and turned to call Yan Jiuyue.
At first she didn’t want to go out until I asked her, “Who is the other person?”?
Yan Jiuyue froze and finally went out to see Chu Mu.
The two men talked for two hours in the wing, and when they came out again, their expressions had softened a lot.
I motioned to Chu Mu that I had something to ask him alone. Consciously,
he followed me to the wing and asked me, “Have you run out of Mrs. Yen’s antidote?”?
“” Not yet.
“I said,” I want to ask you if you have any books or medicines that can make my husband more comfortable.
“Chu Mu suddenly coughed twice:” Yes.. Your ladyship could have asked a more tactful question. Isn’t
that euphemistic enough?
Chu Mu is too shy.
He finally gave me a bottle of medicine, which he said could be taken orally or externally, and a thin book.
In the evening, I was studying the book with great concentration when Yan Xuanting suddenly entered the door.
He leaned over and asked me with a smile, “What are you looking at?”?
I didn’t have time to put it away, so I had to show him the vivid and lifelike picture on it.
Yen Hsuan-ting was in a daze. “Xu Xu, what are you..” I looked at him seriously. “You’ve made me comfortable for so long, and I want to make you comfortable, too.”.
As soon as I said that, I was pulled into his warm arms.
Thin and dense kisses fell down in turn, all the way from the hair to the back of the ear, and held my earlobe again.
Xuxu, you don’t have to do anything. As long as it’s you, I’m comfortable enough. After
saying some words of love, he suddenly looked sharp and told me about the dam of the Ji River. There’s a real problem with
the dam.
It should have been all bricks and stones, but after he went to check, he found that only a small part of the dam that was seen on the surface was made of good bricks and stones.
The rest was yellow mud mixed with straw.
So whenever it rains heavily and the river rises, part of the dam will be washed away.
I opened my mouth and found myself unable to say anything.
It took him a long time to say, “How dare he?”.
Yen Hsuan-ting’s hand rested on my shoulder, and when he heard this, he hugged me a little more tightly. It’s not that no one suspected me before, but those who went to investigate didn’t get out of Nanzhou in the end.. This time, I brought back the evidence, many of which were not collected by me, and the loyal bones that collected them had been buried under the dam.
“I asked him,” Are you going to give the evidence to the emperor?
This time, however, it was Yen Hsuan-ting who was silent.
After a while, he finally said, word by word, with some difficulty: “Your Majesty..” Not necessarily unknown. It
suddenly occurred to me that in the middle of the night, when I was lying on the roof, I heard what Shen Tongwen had said.
He said that in order to check and balance the court, the emperor would not necessarily take action.
Looking at Yan Xuanting’s rare look of loss, I patted his hand soothingly.
Never mind, if the emperor doesn’t do it, I can do it.
Yen Hsuan-ting probably thought I was joking again.
But I have begun to plan to kill Shen Tongwen.
This time he broke his leg on horseback, and he was bound to defend himself, so it was better for me to do it directly. There were more than one or two dark guards around
him, and they could avoid eavesdropping. If they wanted to do it, they had to get rid of them at the same time.
Thinking of this, I can not help but feel some regret.
If I had known, I would have put a few more silver needles and let the horse struggle a little more violently and fall to his death.
I was still thinking silently, but I didn’t think that Shen Tongwen started before me.
That day, Yan Jiuyue took me to the street, saying that there was a batch of new cloth in the cloth shop, and she got the inside information, so she could take the lead in picking.
On the way, I heard many people whispering and reading the name of Yan Xuanting.
They said that Yan Xiang’s new wife used to be a servant girl who had been lost after King Jing’an slept with her, and that Yan Xuanting had picked up what Shen Tongwen didn’t want. Broken shoes.
Yan Jiuyue suddenly stopped, turned around, and snapped: “Nonsense!” I went over and asked them, “Where did the news come from?”?
Several people looked at each other, pushing and shoving. It took them a long time to say vaguely, “Such a secret thing, if not the person concerned..” Who can know.
Shen Tongwen. As if frightened
, Yen Chiu-yueh came to shake my hand, with a little sob in her voice: “Sister-in-law, we’re not going to look at the cloth. We’re going home..” As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Yan Xuanting standing in the middle of the courtyard.
Behind him, the wind swept the clouds through the cracks of the sun.
He stood there, even more dazzling than light. The
light surged toward me, and I stepped back and looked up at him before he hugged me.
It was Shen Tung-wen who drugged me and forced me.
“” I know.
Yen Hsuan-ting, please divorce me. Then
I added, “I remember everything you said.”.
It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that I’m afraid of discrediting the reputation of the prime minister’s mansion. Before he had finished speaking, he suddenly stepped over and hugged me tightly. The
force was so great that it even made me feel a slight pain.
He had not yet recovered from his illness, and his body was still weak and his face was pale.
In fact, I can push him away as long as I have a little internal force.
But I don’t want to.
I covet Yan Xuanting’s protection, indulgence and redemption, and what he gives me is the warmth I have never had in my life.
And Shen Tongwen, unexpectedly wants to destroy it.
When I was a child, there were no rations at home. My mother took me across mountains and rivers to borrow them. When I came back, my father slapped me to the ground and scolded her for borrowing food from her childhood sweetheart, which humiliated his reputation as a big man.
Shen Tongwen also said that a man’s reputation and face are more important than his life.
So he loved Shen Mang so much, but he didn’t want to marry her at the risk of being criticized, so he came to torture me.
I never wanted to kill him so strongly for a moment.
Think of the words on the paper, before and after a series, I understand.
Shen Tongwen must have guessed that it was my hand that broke his leg when he fell on the horse.
But he wants to attack Yan Xuanting.
Xu Xu, what is fame? The things that
others talk about and criticize in words and in writing are too empty to catch.
Yen Hsuan-ting’s voice came to my ears, as gentle and firm as ever.
Only you, this moment is really in my arms, you can touch it, you can kiss it–Xu Xu, I finally married you, and I was scared to let go for a moment, how can I be willing to divorce you?
He doesn’t care about chastity.
Don’t care about fame.
Only care about me.
I was silent for a long time and then said slowly, “I have also decided to spread some news.”.
」「…… What?
The next day, I found the biggest teahouse in Beijing.
Here, the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and the news spreads the fastest.
I lost a few gold leaves and took the place of Mr. Storyteller. As soon as
the startled wood clapped, I said slowly, “The servant girl, to tell the truth, made King Jing’an dissatisfied, so she was expelled from the palace.”.
At the instigation of Yan Jiuyue, Chu Mu cooperated with me in the audience and asked, What is the truth? King
Jing An is in bed.. Not very good at it, the other concubines were forced by power to coax him.
Only the servant girl, when she was sleepy, heard the voice of King Jing’an and asked casually, “Has Wang Ye started?”? But
Wang Yeh replied to her, It’s over.
Therefore, the servant girl was driven out of the palace.
The audience burst into laughter.
News travels fast.
But half a day later, “Has it started?”? “
It’s over” has become a secret joke that everyone in the capital knows.
I guess Shen Tongwen must want to kill me.
Otherwise will not hold the broken leg, sitting in a wooden wheelchair came to the door of the prime minister’s mansion, named to see Yan Xiangxin married lady.
When Chunxue came in to call me, I was sitting in front of the window studying the embroidery method of the purse.
When I stepped out of the door and saw Shen Tongwen sitting in a wheelchair with a broken leg and a haggard look, my mood suddenly became very good. I
couldn’t even hold back my laughter: “Ha ha.”.
Shen Tong-wen clasped the armrest of his wheelchair in exasperation and squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: “Ye Yu-liu, how dare you!” I asked him, “Why don’t I dare?”?
You can’t do it, and you won’t let me say it? His
eyes were about to crack, as if he were about to lose his breath.
“Yeh Yu-liu, I’ve been very kind to you. When Nanzhou was flooded, your parents sold you to someone else. If you hadn’t gone into the palace and I’d have given you a mouthful of rice, I’m afraid you’d have starved to death!” You’re not right.
“I shook my head and corrected him.” Even without you, someone else in the house would have bought me and maybe treated me better.
At least not like you, obviously not, but to show off. Not one mouthful
at a time. Of course
I did it on purpose.
What’s more, the Nanzhou flood was related to the Jijiang dam. In
detail, it should be that Jingan Wangfu owes me.
Behind him, someone occasionally passed by and pointed at him: “This is the King of Jing’an who ended before he started.”.
Shen Tung-wen has always loved face and fame.
Such humiliation was tantamount to torture for him. Behind
Shen Tongwen stood several bodyguards, as well as the servant girls who served them, which made it seem that there were so many people.
I was standing here alone, with only Chunxue behind me. He didn’t care about me either. He only said sullenly, “Yuliu, come back with me.”.
“” No.
“I looked at him with an expressionless face.” Now I’m the prime minister’s wife, not your servant girl. You have no right to take me back.
If you hadn’t taken the place of Long Man, would you be worthy to marry here?
I didn’t expect Shen Tongwen to mention this.
As a matter of fact, I just figured it out slowly in the past few days.
Shen was in the boudoir and had no way to get in touch with the outside world. Everything
she knew about Yan Xuanting came from Shen Tongwen.
He didn’t want her to marry, so he deliberately exaggerated the negative information and told her.
But Shen Tongwen for the sake of face, can not marry Shen long, and reluctant to really give up my plaything.
So let me kill Yan Xuanting. Most of the people I killed in the
past, like me, did shady things.
Yan Xuanting is different.
He is the prime minister, the minister of humerus, if I really kill him, will only have no way out.
When the time comes, I can only go back to him in order to survive.
Shen Tongwen is really very good.
I was about to speak when I suddenly saw Yan Xuanting behind Shen Tongwen. I’m afraid it’s up to King Jingan to decide whether
his wife is worthy of being married or not? In the
heat of summer, he was dressed in a light white shirt, his black hair was pulled up, and his expression was cold.
Yan Xuanting came to me and stood beside me.
Shen Tongwen looked at us and pulled his lips, showing a cold smile.
He said to Yen Hsuan-ting, “Yen Hsiang has taken over a woman whom the king is tired of playing with, but he still dotes on her so much. It’s really admirable to be so broad-minded.”.
I subconsciously turned my head and looked at Yen Hsuan-ting, just in time to see a flash of murder in his eyes. King
Jing’an is lacking in his own abilities, so there is no need to make up for it from women.
Yen Hsuan-ting said lightly, reaching out to take my hand and clasping it with my fingers.
His fingertips are cold, but my palms are warm. King
Jing’an is now out of work at home. Perhaps he doesn’t know that the joke of the beginning and the end has already spread to the palace. Even the emperor and the empresses know about it.
“Yen Hsuan-ting said with a sneer,” I’ve just entered the palace, and I’ve asked for an imperial edict for King Jing’an. I’m sure I’ll be there soon.
As if in response to what he said.
A carriage sped up and stopped beside it. A eunuch in a dark red robe got out of the
carriage. He took one look at Yen Hsuan-ting and then turned to Shen Tung-wen. “King Jing An has received the decree.” Yen Hsuan-ting smiled. “Grandfather Cui, you’d better not embarrass King Jing An. After all, his leg is broken and he can’t kneel.
I found that Yen Hsuan-ting’s mouth was also very poisonous, so I opened my eyes wide and looked at him with some surprise.
Yan Xuanting stretched out his hand with a smile and patted me soothingly on the top of my hair. Grandfather
Cui began to read out the imperial edict: King Jing’an has no eyes for a monarch. He is presumptuous and rude, and offends the head of Gaoyang County. This is really a great crime of disrespect. From today on, he will be demoted to the rank of the Marquis of Jing’an. He will think about it for thirty days behind closed doors in the mansion of the Marquis. He will not be allowed to go out without my order.
Shen Tongwen’s face turned pale in an instant.
Yen Hsuan-ting brushed off his robe and said lightly, “I’m sorry, King Jing An. It’s Jing An Hou. What are you waiting for? Take the decree.”.
I suddenly understood why, on the second day of our wedding, Yen Hsuan-ting brought me into the palace to ask for a decree.
Not just to show me the way in front of the little emperor.
Also in order to let me have such an identity that ordinary people dare not easily offend. With his lips trembling,
Shen Tongwen pointed at me in disbelief: “Impossible..” How can she be the head of the county?
“Grandfather Cui’s face was expressionless.” Be careful what you say. Don’t be disrespectful to the county magistrate. When
Shen Tongwen left, he was pushed by his bodyguard in a wheelchair.
Before he left, he turned his head and looked at me ferociously. He lowered his voice and said, “What about the county magistrate?”? One day
I’ll take you.
“Yen Hsuan-ting suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He said coldly,” Jing Anhou cursed the Lord of Gaoyang County like this. Is he despising the emperor?
Shen Tong-wen, however, gave a sneer and stopped responding.
I know very well in my heart that he said this not as a curse, but as a statement of fact.
I have never got the real antidote, can only use Chu Mu to give me the short-acting antidote, with toxicity, will be suppressed again and again.
And these days, I can clearly feel that the toxicity in my body is getting worse and worse.
In fact, I knew I would die.
Did not die in the flood, will also die in a mission, or Shen Tongwen in the torture between the bed. The time when I
married Yan Xuanting was so happy that it was almost stolen for me.
Then, sooner or later, you have to give it back. I
just didn’t expect that this day would come so soon.
That night, when the poison broke out, I ordered Yan Xuanting to sleep, then bit my wrist desperately and poured down one bottle after another of the short-acting antidote. Less than half a month has passed
since the last attack, but this time the attack was particularly violent.
It was clear to me that my time was running out, so I began to think about what else I could do.
I remember that shortly after marriage, Yan Xuanting told me that he and Shen Tongwen had an implacable enmity.
Later, he was pushed into the water, which was also caused by Shen Tongwen.
Why don’t I kill Shen Tongwen for him. After
this joint was figured out, I began to plan assassination in detail.
On the other hand, every night, Yan Xuanting became more and more tightly entangled.
He had a good temper and did everything for me, but when he was sweating profusely, he whispered in my ear, “Madam is as passionate as fire, and occasionally I can’t stand it.”.
“I raised my eyes and stared at him.” But you’re good.
Yan Xuanting, you let me know that this kind of thing can be so happy.
His eyes were suddenly filled with countless complicated emotions that I could not understand.
In the end, he just bent down and said in a hoarse voice, “Xu Xu, we still have a long time for the rest of our lives. I will accompany you to be happy slowly.”. What
he told me about the rest of my life was so exciting.
I’d like to see it, too.
But the last poison came sooner than I thought.
On that day, I was visiting the garden with Yan Jiuyue.
Yan Xuanting sent people to plant several new osmanthus trees, and the pale yellow flowers were all over the trees, and the fragrance assailed the nostrils. Sitting under such a tree,
I raised my head and said to Yan Jiuyue, “I have a little pain. Ask Yan Xuanting to come and see me.”.
In fact, Yen Hsuan-ting came quite quickly, but the poison came even faster.
He picked me up, his hands shaking violently.
“Xu Xu.”.
There was a warm liquid dripping on my face.
I managed to open my eyes and looked at him in a harsh light. “Well, actually I cheated for a long time. It’s not a little painful, it’s very painful.”.
He clasped me in his arms and walked more quickly.
Passing through the long corridor, Yan Xuanting carefully put me on the bed. He turned to Yan Jiuyue and gritted his teeth and said, “Go and ask Chu Mu to come over.”. It
‘s no use. I’ve already looked for Chu Mu. He said he couldn’t get rid of the poison. I just drank
the short-acting medicine, and this time it didn’t work.
“I was in terrible pain, but I had to explain what I had to say:” Yen Hsuan-ting, listen to me. I’ve already set the scene.
Seven days later, Shen Tongwen side of the dark guard will all be sent away, that is the best time to kill him.
If you have a useful person, just send it directly, and the success rate is at least 80%.
“Xu Xu..” What’s more, in fact, I’m not Shen Tongwen’s servant girl. I’m his secret guard. I killed all your men who died mysteriously before.
In fact, I didn’t want to say this to Yen Hsuan-ting. After all, I was going to die, and I wanted to make a good impression on him.
But he is so good to me that I don’t want to keep him in the dark.
By the end, my vision was blurred by the pain, and my internal organs seemed to shrink into a ball: “Yen Hsuan-ting, I’m very grateful to you, too.” I like you very much.
Cold kisses fell on my forehead, eyes and lips.
Yan Xuanting’s voice seemed to come from far away, somewhat blurred.
Xuxu, I know, I already know who you are.
His voice is getting more and more distant.
Don’t be afraid, Xu Xu. I’ll get the antidote for you. After
Ye Xuxu fainted, Chu Mu arrived.
He gave her an injection and two strong doses of medicine, which barely saved her life.
Yan Xuanting stood beside the bed and looked down at the little girl on the bed. Fragile and pale,
she closed her eyes and lay there as quietly as she had slept beside him many nights in the past.
He closed his eyes and suppressed the pain in his heart and his hatred for Shen Tongwen. He turned to Yan Jiuyue and said, “You take good care of Xu Xu. I’m going to the palace now to find the emperor..” Get the cure.
Yan Jiuyue was already scared out of her wits, and her cold hand was held tightly by Chu Mu beside her.
Yan Xuanting did not tell her the true identity of Xu Xu, but only said that the wife he married was a favorite person, and that Yan Jiuyue should be better to her.
Yen Chiu-yueh was an obedient younger sister, and at that time she patted him on the chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’m sure the arrangements will be clear.”. Even though
she was still in shock, she said, “Don’t worry, brother. I’ll take good care of my sister-in-law. I won’t let anything happen to her.”.
Yen Hsuan-ting nodded and hurried into the carriage.
It will be dark.
He had something on his mind. When
Yan Xuanting first saw Xu Xu, she was killing people.
He sat high in the pavilion, the moonlight outside was cold and pale, and the little girl in black was lying motionless among the branches and leaves.
Two whole hours.
She finally found an opportunity to fly down, and the sharp dagger wiped the man’s neck. A
line of blood spurted out, and some of it splashed on her face.
She had returned to the tree, stared at the moon for a moment, and then stepped on the side of the courtyard wall and flew away lightly.
He had heard for a long time that there were a group of secret guards in Jingan Wangfu, who did shady things for the royal family. At that time,
the little emperor had a vague idea of hiding the bow, and he was afraid that Jingan Wangfu would turn against him, so he could only do it step by step. The most important courtier
he relied on was Yan Xuanting, who gave him great power.
Shen Tongwen was jealous and poisoned Yan Xuanting.
The poison was not fatal, but it could keep him in bed for the rest of his life.
It’s just that Yan Xuanting found out in time and didn’t take it all.
Although still poisoned, but not serious, but a blessing in disguise, let the little emperor more assured to use him.
Yan Xuanting deliberately released false news, so that Shen Tongwen mistakenly thought that a corrupt official was his henchmen.
Sure enough, Shen Tongwen sent a dark guard to kill people.
But Yan Xuanting did not expect to be sent out by a woman.
After that, he did the same thing and let Shen Tongwen mistake several people he wanted to kill for his confidant.
And every time Shen Tongwen sent the dark guard, it was the little girl.
At first, Yan Xuanting was just curious.
Dark guard is supposed to be cold and cruel.
But her eyes were full of ignorance and indifference, and even when human blood splashed into her eyes, she only frowned gently.
It’s like nothing in this world can affect her mood.
Until that night, she came to the brothel to kill people. It was Jiang Chengwei, the governor of Yuezhou, who committed all kinds of crimes, who was
killed. When
Jiang Chengwei hugged a girl to commit violence, she was lying outside the window.
After seeing the girl’s shoulder was bitten and bleeding, she suddenly reached out and touched her shoulder.
The sleeve slipped down, revealing a part of the arm covered with blue and purple scars. Yan Xuanting,
who had been sitting by the window on the other side, suddenly stood up.
At that time, he still had no way to know where the sharp pain that suddenly came to his heart at that moment came from.
Only when she broke Jiang Chengwei’s neck, he suddenly thought.
That hand.
He didn’t want to just watch it draw blood with its sword.
I also want to see what it looks like when it writes and plays the piano.
He sent his men down to inquire, and his men soon came back to report that the little girl was also the secret guard of Prince Jing’an’s mansion.
Because it is somewhat similar to Shen Tongwen’s sister Shen Mang, Shen Tongwen used her to kill people while torturing her in bed.
Shen Tongwen, unexpectedly to own younger sister, has such a shameful idea.
Yan Xuanting deliberately released all kinds of news, and then went to ask the emperor to marry Shen Manman.
He knew that Shen Tongwen was reluctant to marry him.
Even if Shen Tongwen is willing to give up, he also has other plans to ensure that the person who marries must be her.
From the beginning, the only person he wanted to marry was Xu Xu.
He wanted her to be happy, he wanted her to know that it wasn’t just pain, he wanted her to know that chastity wasn’t important-he wanted her to know what love was.
But he underestimated Shen Tongwen’s ruthlessness.
That night, he held her in his arms and couldn’t help trembling. A sharp pain came
from the finger.
But he knew that the catkins in his arms were a hundred times more painful than he was.
From that day on, he began to lay out.
To get rid of Shen Tongwen, but also to help Xu Xu get the antidote. In
another ten days, all the chess pieces he had buried would have worked. Un
expectedly, Xu Xu’s poison broke out so quickly.
Yan Xuanting thought that he could only use another method.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Before
going down, Yan Xuanting took a pill.
The medicine made him cough violently, his face turned pale quickly, and even his lips were bloodless.
He stepped into the Hall of Golden Bells with such a body, knelt down in front of the little emperor, and presented a thick pile of evidence.
The evidence is 70% true and 30% false. One of the two
most crucial things is related to the dam of the Ji River, and the other is related to Shen Tongwen’s intention to rebel.
As for whether Shen Tongwen had any intention to rebel, it was no longer important.
Jing Anhou has been dormant in the court for many years, but he is not completely loyal to the emperor.
The people have been complaining for a long time.
Yen Hsuan-ting was kneeling upright, his eyes magnanimous.
“Your Majesty, please clean up the remaining sins and eliminate future troubles for the sake of the country.”. The little emperor on the
throne was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.
Yan Xiang’s loyalty, I know, but although there is something wrong with Jing An Hou, after all, I have devoted myself to it for many years. After all, I can’t bear it.
Yen Hsuan-ting understood the hint.
The little emperor has grown up to be a qualified king. He not only knows the truth that birds hide their bows, but also worries about the death of a fox.
Yan Xuanting kowtowed heavily and said, “I would like to serve the emperor.”.
The little emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the throne, and came over to help him. Instead of getting up
, Yen Hsuan-ting looked up and continued, “It’s just that I want to ask the emperor for a decree to save a man.”.
The little emperor paused and looked down at him with a faint expression.
Yan Xuanting suddenly turned his head sideways and coughed violently. Streams of scarlet blood spilled
from his lips, and by the time he turned his head, his face had taken on a morbid pallor.
The little emperor was stunned in place, and the cold and suspicious mood in his eyes opened a crack, revealing a rare panic.
He suddenly remembered that when he had just ascended the throne, because he was too young to convince the public, he relied on Yan Xuanting’s wholehearted support to secure the throne.
At that time, Yan Xuanting tried his best to plan for him, and one night, he vomited a mouthful of blood in front of him.
Yan Xuanting kowtowed to him three more times.
My time is running out, and I only wish my wife to accompany me for the rest of my life. When I
woke up, I didn’t see Yan Xuanting. Only Yan Jiuyue, with red eyes, sat in front of the bed and looked at me: Sister-in-law, you’re awake.
As if afraid of my doubts, she added, “Don’t be afraid. Your poison has been cured. Someone from the palace has sent you the antidote.”.
“I asked her,” Where is your brother?
Yan Jiuyue’s eyes dodged.
I asked again, “Where is your brother?”? The
pronunciation is already very heavy.
Brother, he.. In order to soften the emperor’s heart, I took the medicine, and now I’m lying in the wing. Before Yan Jiuyue could say a word, I jumped out of bed and ran to the wing. There was a smell of medicine
in the room.
Yan Xuanting leaned on the head of the bed, his face turned pale, and when he saw me, there was a surprise in his eyes.
Xu Xu, are you awake? As he
spoke, he turned his head sideways and coughed twice, his lips brimming with a bright red.
I threw myself in front of his bed with a pain in my heart and found my voice trembling.
Yen Hsuan-ting, what kind of medicine did you take?
His twinkling eyes looked at me with a gentle smile.
Then he reached out and gently wiped the tears from my eyes.
Xu Xu, don’t cry.
I reached out to take his hand.
Even the first time I killed someone, my hands didn’t shake so much.
My heart was filled with a vast emptiness of panic and fear, and this strange, strong emotion almost engulfed me.
I suddenly understood what it was.
Yen Hsuan-ting, don’t die.
“I looked at him, tears finally unbridled down:” I love you, you can not die… ” Before I met him, I was in the dark and didn’t know what light was like.
It was he who brought me step by step into the light, saved me, and made me realize the existence of pain and the meaning of fighting back. How could
I allow him to die.
Yan Xuanting seemed to want to comfort me, but he couldn’t stop coughing, so I cried even more fiercely.
In the sobs mixed with coughing, Chu Mu’s voice finally came to my ears clearly.
Mrs. Yen, if you cry like this, I’ll think you’re questioning my medical skills. Stopping my tears,
I turned to look at him and threatened, You must cure Yan Xuanting, or I will kill you.
Chu Mu pulled the corners of his lips.
Mrs. Yen is so strong that it’s easy to kill me.
“He said,” But the prime minister is not ill. How can I cure him? I
stayed where I was.
Chu Mu added, “He just wanted to be miserable in front of the emperor. He took the fake poison I gave him and took a few doses of it. When the poison dissipated, he would be all right.”.
I looked at Yan Jiuyue, who stepped into the door behind him.
She smiled shyly, “I just want to let my sister-in-law know that my brother has done a lot for you.” Yen Hsuan-ting finally stopped coughing and scolded, “Nonsense.”.
I watched him drink the medicine that Chu Mu had decocted, and his face quickly turned red, thinking that he was really all right.
Until night.
Yan Xuanting stuffed a book into my hand, saying that he had some business to deal with and went to the study.
I followed him quietly and found that he had gone to see Chu Mu.
And the first thing they said at the meeting was, “Don’t tell Xu Xu and Jiu Yue about my illness.”.
I know, but you really can’t work any harder.
Chu Mu’s voice was a little heavy: “The medicine is strong, but it still leaves the root of the disease. You have to take care of it slowly.”.
“I know. When this happens, I’m going to resign and go with Xu Xu.” His face suddenly changed. “Xu Xu. Standing in the night breeze,
I looked at him quietly. Yan Xuanting, you lied to me.
You told me to tell you anything without reservation, but you didn’t tell me when you were sick.
Chu Mu walked away with great interest. In the
cool night, only Yan Xuanting and I were left.
He and I looked at each other for a long time and said with a wry smile, “Well, Xu Xu, I’ll tell you everything.”.
When I walked over to him, Yen Hsuan-ting put his arm around my shoulder and whispered. The poisons used by
Shen Tongwen to control the dark guards originally came from the royal family.
The little emperor promised to give him the antidote, on the premise that Yan Xuanting would sacrifice his reputation to help him solve the problem of Jing An Hou Fu.
Previously, the emperor had demoted Prince Ching-an’s mansion, which was in fact a kind of disposition. If you want to be ruthless
again, you can’t come from the imperial edict.
After all, Shen Tongwen had too many shameful things in his hands, and the emperor had to consider the consequences of his death.
“” So, I can only do this-I will do this to trap Jing Anhou and forcibly bring him down for my own selfish interests.. Treacherous court official. He said the
last two words with great difficulty.
I grabbed his hand and shook my head. “How could you be a treacherous court official?”?
You are obviously loyal to the emperor.
“He laughed at himself in my ear:” Xu Xu, what the emperor needs is not a loyal minister, nor a treacherous minister, but a good minister. When I first entered the court as an official, I wanted to establish my life for the people and create peace for everything.
But after being pushed into this powerful position, everything is not up to me.
Yen Hsuan-ting’s tone was very disappointing.
I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
He is such a glorious man.
But now, must not go to court, in the house to think. All the officials in
the court jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to dismiss the prime minister, who was ambitious and of the same party, from office and put him in prison. A moment of
silence.
Yan Xuanting stretched out his hand and gathered his skirt for me. The wind is cool
at night. Let’s go back to rest early.
As soon as he was lying in bed, I lit his sleeping hole.
Then he went out, stepped on the walls and roofs of the courtyard, and flew all the way to the palace. After
taking the antidote, the powerful martial arts brought by the poison will gradually disappear.
Within half a month, there were only one or two layers left.
But for the moment, it’s enough.
This is not the first time I have been in the palace late at night.
I arrived at the little emperor’s bedroom and waited patiently on the beam for a long time.
After the eunuch who had come to serve the tea had retired and he was the only one left in the bedroom, I turned over and landed lightly on the ground.
The little emperor’s face sank in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lord of Gaoyang County, how dare you!” I looked at him and pulled the corners of my lips. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been here. Why are you so angry?”?
Apparently, after saying this, he became even angrier. Aren’t
you afraid that I will punish you?
“He asked me in a cold voice,” Even if you’re not afraid, aren’t you worried about my punishment of Yan Xuanting?
Your Majesty, you are wrong. I am not standing in front of you as the head of Gaoyang County or the wife of Yan Xuanting. I am a Jianghu man with great force.
The little emperor opened his mouth as if to call someone in to escort him.
I caught him in time before he could speak. The strength of the guards in
your palace is very ordinary.
I have been here many times before, and they have never found me.
Therefore, I advise you not to act rashly.
The little emperor looked at me coldly. What on earth do you want?
I did not answer him.
He just asked, “When Yen Hsuan-ting was poisoned, it must have been written by Shen Tung-wen.”.
And Shen Tongwen poisoned him with your acquiescence, didn’t he?
The little emperor kept silent. After a moment, he asked me, Aren’t you afraid that I will issue a decree to kill you and Yan Xuanting? The
tone was very cold.
“Afraid.”.
“I nodded.” You just issued a decree to put Shen Tongwen under house arrest, and you want to issue a decree to kill Yan Xuanting. Is the emperor not afraid of being criticized by the people of the world and shaking the hearts of the people?
The little emperor finally changed his face.
Yan Xuanting did not say explicitly, but I guessed that this was the death of the little emperor.
Baiguan wrote to ask him to dispose of Yan Xuanting.
It was the best time, but he didn’t do it.
Come to think of it, it was Yan Xuanting who helped him to ascend the throne and did his best to assist him. He was afraid that after a hundred years, the history books would write and accuse him of being ungrateful.
Your Majesty, I’ll help you kill Shen Tongwen, and then I’ll help you get back the shady evidence in his hands.
But you can’t do it to Yan Xuanting, and you have to clarify his reputation, okay?
“I stared at him and said,” Yen Hsuan-ting has been an official for ten years. He has devoted himself to the work of the emperor and the people. If
the emperor wants to be a wise king, he shouldn’t let loyal officials end up like this.
The little emperor finally promised me.
And gave me a bottle of poison.
He said that at the beginning, Shen Tongwen originally planned to give Yan Xuanting this kind of poison. The poisoned person will die in great pain when the throat is sealed with
blood.
I took the bottle of medicine and sneaked into Jing’an Hou Mansion.
Because Shen Tongwen was placed under house arrest, many people in the mansion were taken away, and it was much more deserted here.
Of course, the little emperor was afraid that Shen Tongwen would break the net, and he did not dare to push too hard.
I admit I have an element of gambling.
But fight to get hurt, as long as there is a breath, I will kill Shen Tongwen.
His death cannot have anything to do with Yan Xuanting.
Originally thought to spend some twists and turns, did not expect Shen Tongwen’s room, unexpectedly only Lei Yun a person guarding.
Lei Yun’s martial arts are not as good as mine. After
I killed him quietly, I sneaked into Shen Tong’s study room. I didn’t know why there was only one person at the door until I
went in.
Shen Tongwen is spoiling the servant girl of Xing Tongfang.
While spoiling him, he asked him whether he was fierce or not.
It seems that what happened last time really caused him a great blow.
I put the poison in the teapot and the wine glass on the table and hid it on the beam.
After a while, Shen Tongwen came out with his skirt wide open and poured down a glass of wine with a gloomy expression.
The wine glass rolled out of his hand.
Shen Tongwen’s body crashed to the ground, seven orifices bleeding, breath gradually disappeared. I didn’t
even have time to make a sound.
In the past, Shen Tongwen meant pain, blood and killing to me. Everything in my life, the negative things that bind me.
It seems to be so powerful that it is hard to destroy. But
now it’s all gone with his death.
More importantly, once I just felt that it was very painful, and I didn’t realize that the pain was wrong and could be fought back.
But now, I’m giving it back. With a sigh of relief,
I left amid the frightened screams of the servant girl and went to the study again.
Shen Tongwen hid some key evidence in the secret compartment of the study. Once
, when he was drunk and asked me to come over, he was not careful and I saw him.
I took the evidence back and gave it to Yan Xuanting.
I didn’t expect him to be angry with me for the first time.
You light my sleeping hole?
」「……」 A man sneaked into the palace to make a deal with the emperor?
」「……」 He went to the Jing’an Hou Mansion alone to kill Shen Tongwen?
He pushed me into the corner of the bed and gritted his teeth and looked at me. “Ye Xuxu, you are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of your death!” He called me by name, and he seemed to be really angry. After a little thought,
I decided to cry to win Yan Xuanting’s sympathy.
But fake crying is a technical job, and I don’t have the ability to do it as well as Shen Mang. It
took a long time to squeeze out two tears.
Instead, it made Yan Xuanting laugh.
I took the opportunity to say, “Now that you’re laughing, does that mean you’re not angry?”? Holding me in his arms
, Yen Hsuan-ting sighed, Even if you don’t do it, Shen Tong-wen won’t live more than three days.
At this point, the emperor will not keep him, nor will he really touch me. What
he said, in fact, I figured it out after I killed Shen Tongwen.
Where there is such a coincidence, I said to kill Shen Tongwen, the emperor immediately took out the poison.
He has already thought about it.
Not using me, but using Yan Xuanting.
Fortunately, I’m the one who used it.
I know, you must have kept a back hand.
“I said,” But I know where he put the evidence, and it’s safer for me to do it.
You saved my life, and it’s only fair that I save yours.
“I paused.” Besides, I’m not all for you.
Shen Tongwen used to treat me like that, and I avenged for both of us.
Yen Hsuan-ting laughed, and his eyes suddenly became gentle.
Xu Xu, good Xu Xu, I am so happy that you learned to love yourself.
“He kissed my ear and coaxed me.” I like to hear you talk about us. Can you tell me twice more?
“I said,” Yen Hsuan-ting, you have to take good care of yourself. I also want to spend the rest of our lives with you, as you said before.
His clear eyes flashed and he reached out and drew down the curtain of the bed.
Your ladyship’s words of love are so sweet. Say a few more words. It was already noon when
we got out of bed.
Yan Xuanting asked Chunxue to bring the lunch directly to the room. During the
meal, I asked him, “Yen Hsuan-ting, the man you want to marry in the first place is Shen Man-lang, isn’t he?”?
He put a shrimp dumpling into my bowl and said with a smile, How could it be.
Xu Xu, I wanted to marry you in the first place.
If you are not married, I will find a way to make her become you.
I stared at him with wide eyes.
Yan Xuanting told me why he liked me and said he had seen me a long time ago. When
I heard it, it was a little strange.
So you saw me kill and you fell in love with me?
Yen Hsuan-ting choked his throat with a mouthful of sweet soup.
Xu Xu, why do you have such a strange idea?
“He shook his head with a wry smile. After a moment’s hesitation, he said,” But it’s not all wrong. When
I saw you killing people, I thought of Jiuyue. Although we were poor since childhood, she was so well protected by me that she dared not even kill a fish. The
first time I saw you kill someone, I was just curious. How could this little girl be so calm?
Later, when I saw more, I gradually came up with an idea that even I thought was ridiculous-I wanted to marry her home, protect her well, and let her stop killing people.
He gently took my hand and kissed it to his lips.
I want these hands not only to hold swords, but also to touch ink and calligraphy, Rouge and brocade, gold and jade jewelry, flowers and water.
The hand clasped my wrist and pulled me into his arms.
Also, interlocked with my fingers.
The next day, Yen Hsuan-ting took the evidence I had given him and went to the palace to talk to the little emperor.
I don’t know what I said, but I came back after dark.
I looked at him longingly. Smiling, Yen Hsuan-ting came over and kissed me on the tip of my nose. “Don’t worry,” he said.
‘All right.
I’m relieved. Most of
my strong martial arts disappeared after ten days.
He could easily jump up to the roof, but now he can only climb up the tree and climb up the wall. The speed of the
sword is also obviously slower. It was
also at this time that the little emperor’s imperial edict arrived.
He characterized Shen Tongwen’s death as a vendetta in Jianghu, which had nothing to do with Yan Xuanting.
Then Yan Xuanting’s position as prime minister gave him a new official position, called a scholar of etiquette. After the person who
announced the decree left, I looked at Yan Xuanting and did not speak for a long time. What’s
the matter? Is this the result of
your discussion with the emperor that day?
“I asked him,” I seem to.. Never heard of the official name of the Master of Etiquette.
He laughed.
Of course I haven’t heard of it. This is an official position created by the emperor specially for me, who is in charge of palace banquets and imperial city etiquette. High
rank, high salary, but no real power.
I told the emperor that I had a wife to support and that I had to make money.
He reached out and clasped my hand. If I can’t be a powerful minister, I can only be a corrupt official in the future. Naturally
, Yen Hsuan-ting cannot be a corrupt official.
I always remember what he said that day.
He said that he was an official to make a living for the people and to create peace for all generations. Before he
became prime minister, the last thing he did was to plead with the little emperor, open the treasury, and repair the dam of the Ji River.
And the official of the Master of Etiquette is indeed very idle and very rich.
The little emperor probably felt a little embarrassed and gave him a lot of gold and silver.
But in fact, the Yan family is not short of money at all.
When Yan Jiuyue heard that Yan Xuanting had no money, she grabbed a handful of gold leaves from the box and stuffed them into my purse.
Just use it. Ask me if it’s not enough.
“Yen Hsuan-ting smiled and said,” Where do I have no money?
It’s just for fun.
You’d better keep it and save your dowry for yourself.
Yan Jiuyue glanced at Chu Mu’s face next to her.
Chu Mu immediately said consciously, “I will send someone to propose marriage tomorrow.”.
“She sneered,” You don’t have to listen to your tone so reluctantly.
Before the two of them quarreled again, Yan Xuanting dragged me away in time. When I had
nothing to do, Yan Xuanting began to teach me to read and practice calligraphy, and even learned some fine brushwork.
In fact, it’s all right to learn poetry and painting.
But this man always teaches and teaches, and he teaches some strange poems.
For example, “The Lotus tent warms the spring night.”.
For example, “In the daytime, we express our feelings to relax our love; at night, we hold our dreams to make friends with you.”. When the
feeling was strong, he still said in my ear, “I don’t ask you about the broken willows and flying catkins. The rain is always sleeping in spring tonight.”.
But even though it happened so often, I didn’t get pregnant.
Chu Mu came to feel the pulse, saying that my cold poison had been in my body for a long time, and even if it was cured, it would hurt the root.
Even if you take good care of yourself slowly, it may take eight or ten years to get better.
When Yen Hsuan-ting heard this, he nodded very casually: “In that case, you should go back earlier to prepare for your marriage to Jiuyue.”.
“Chu Mu froze:”.. Ah? Xuxu and
I can’t have children, so we can only look at you. In the
spring of the following year, Yen Hsuan-ting and I were married again. This time, we worshipped each other in the hall, making up for the missing link. The little emperor also came to the mansion to watch the ceremony.
Since Yan Xuanting was not the prime minister, the little emperor did not guard against him as before. He was not even surprised to
see his health improving day by day. He even pretended to say, “Yan Qing used to work too hard for me, for the court, and for the people, so he was so weak. Now it’s good to have a rest.”.
“Yen Hsuan-ting’s smile did not change.” Your Majesty is right.
The little emperor not only came, but also brought a huge jade willow carving.
He looked at me as if I had not threatened him that night, and smiled gently.
This jade carving is a perfect match for Yan Qing’s wife. It’s my wedding gift to you.
For the sake of the value of the jade carvings, I didn’t say anything more. On the second day of the
wedding, Yan Xuanting took me and Yan Jiuyue to the suburbs for a spring outing. Yan Jiuyue and
I were tired of flying paper kites, so we came back to rest.
Yan Jiuyue followed Chu Mu to go boating, while Yan Xuanting took me to the other side of the lake.
I asked him, “What are you doing here?”?
Yen Hsuan-ting did not answer immediately, but broke off a slender wicker in full bloom and shook it.
Countless light catkins are supported by the wind and go towards the sunshine.
Free and unrestrained.
He turned his head and said to me with a smile, “Look, this is you.”.
