Chapter 311 Can't Die

After returning to the Hall of Qinzheng, Xu Fu posted that Chen Ziyan, the eldest daughter of Chen Xiang, was outside the Meridian Gate, begging to enter the palace to bid farewell to her younger sister, Concubine Jing.

Li Beichen was a little sensitive when he heard these two names.After all, Concubine Jing's people were dealt with just this morning, so it was appropriate to comfort them at this time.

He thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Send a chariot to pick up Chen Ziyan and send it to Yongshou Palace. Ask Xu Fang to go first."

The reason for arranging the carriage was to let everyone see the status of Chen Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, who was leaving for Tartar at noon, and the emperor's importance to the Chen family and Concubine Jing.Even if something like that happened in the morning, the royal family still relies on and trusts the Chen family.

It is equivalent to giving Chen Xiang a reassurance.

After all, in a few days, Chen Xiang will also lead a team to Shanxi, Henan and other places for disaster relief.

Xu Fuhai immediately arranged for Xu Fang to follow up on this matter.

Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news, snorted coldly, and fell silent again.

She is not stupid.Arrogant and domineering is the disposition she has cultivated since she was a child, but why isn't it her protective color?

She is a prime minister's legitimate daughter, and she is so beautiful. How can she be kept hidden all day long, kept low and petty, and look at people's looks?If he was as cautious and considerate as Concubine He, I'm afraid the emperor would be even more suspicious of the Chen family's evil intentions.

Of course she understood that everyone in their Chen family was a pawn of the emperor.Reuse them of the Chen family, but also push them step by step into the state of lonely ministers, and at the same time pull out their teeth to avoid backlash.

When the two sisters met, Concubine Jing, who had always been proud, ran quickly to her sister, glanced at Xu Fang beside her, took her sister's hand, and walked quickly into the dormitory to talk.

The two sat on the edge of the bed, looked at each other, and burst into tears at the same time.

After all, it was Concubine Jing who threw herself into Chen Ziyan's arms and cried out mournfully, "Sister! I, I thought I would never see you again."

Chen Ziyan hugged Concubine Jing and stroked her hair: "In this deep palace, there are traps everywhere. I'm afraid it will be very difficult, right? I heard from my mother that my distant cousin died this time because of you."

"Sister! They, those bitches beat Qiaoyun to death!" Concubine Jing said angrily.

Chen Ziyan sighed, feeling very sad, "If you hadn't entered the palace for me back then, maybe I would have been suffering in this palace."

"Sister!" Concubine Jing choked and said, "Tell your father that you don't want to go to the grassland or marry a Tatar. My father has never asked the emperor for anything. If he goes to the emperor to beg, and begs carefully, there will be There is a way. There are so many women in the capital. Why do you have to go, sister!"

Chen Ziyan shook her head, did not speak for a long time, pondered for a while, and then said: "Sister, you know this is impossible. It is meaningless to say these words now. The holy will is so impossible to change. When the overall situation requires it, anyone can do it. You must obey the overall situation. In the face of national interests, no matter whether it is the emperor or the father, they will not hesitate in the slightest when they need to abandon their personal feelings. What's more. Besides, I had a banquet with Munchback and entered the bridal chamber last night. They're already married."

Concubine Jing looked straight at her sister, her eyes full of heartache. She knew that her sister and her brother-in-law were in love with each other and their relationship was extremely deep.

It was just that they were deeply in love but their brother-in-law was frail and passed away after only a few years of marriage.

My sister became seriously ill because of this and almost committed suicide on hunger strike, but my mother persuaded her to come back and save my life.I once swore that I would stay loyal to my brother-in-law for the rest of my life and never marry again.Now, not only do you have to get married, you also have to get married to such a far away place.

Concubine Jing burst into tears immediately, "Then, how is Meng Qibake treating you well? Sister, are you willing? You used to be so affectionate with your brother-in-law. Can you still accept others?"

Chen Ziyan showed a smile, and gently patted her sister on the back:
"He is very kind to me, very gentle, and very strong. But I don't care whether he treats me well or not. My heart has already died with your brother-in-law. I have no heart anymore. What else can I accept? What I have to accept. The rest of my body is just for raising my parents. If I can share the worries of my parents, my life will be meaningful."

The calmness of my sister when she said these words sounded like a final farewell and an explanation of the funeral.

Concubine Jing hugged her sister in panic, trying to hold her tighter: "Sister, sister, you"

Chen Ziyan looked at the swaying branches outside the window and sighed softly: "Sister, don't worry, I won't die easily. Since my body no longer belongs to me, even if I die, I must leave some in the sky. Traces. Do something for my father and Ming Dynasty."

"In the past few years, I always thought that there was nothing left to miss in this world, and I always thought about how to die without pain. Every day I would run to a high building to watch the sunset, thinking that by jumping down, I could go down to accompany your brother-in-law. The end I suffered endless pain. But every time, the people sent by my father would pull my sleeves back. Ever since my younger brother got into trouble and beat up the Tatars, and watched my father grow old overnight, I suddenly understood that as a member of the Chen family, Daughter, we are not living for ourselves, nor are we living for the love between men and women."

Concubine Jing heard her sister say these words for the first time, her heart was so painful that she couldn't breathe, she hugged her sister: "Sister, no matter what you live for, I don't want you to go! I can find someone to arrange robbery on the road and catch Meng Qi Buck and the others, you should escape, as far away as possible. No matter where you go, it’s better to go to the Tartars.”

This time, regardless of life or death, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again.

Chen Ziyan shook her head slightly, looked out of the window vigilantly, and gently covered her sister's mouth: "Don't say such stupid things! You can think of it, but others can't think of it? If I escape, what will you do, father and mother What should I do if I get to know my younger brothers and sisters?”

Concubine Jing took off her sister's hand that was covering her mouth and held it tightly, feeling extremely sad. "I, I just don't want you to die! Can I go and beg the emperor? Even if you ask for the favor of other ministers, When a girl gets married, it would be nice to have a companion with you."

Chen Ziyan put her younger sister's hands side by side on the bed. Against the background of the crystal clear jade bracelet, her hands were as thin and tender as light white, and said with a smile:

"Sister, look at your hands, they are so delicate and beautiful. You take care of them so well, why not to get the emperor's favor and bless our family. Since we were born in the Chen family and enjoyed fine clothes and fine food, we are in front of everyone. Glory has a price to pay. You are the same, and so am I.

The emperor made such a decision and did not let the other noble daughters marry together, and he had his own reasons.The result of you asking the emperor is the same.Just don't ruin your goodwill in the emperor's heart. "

Concubine Jing was already crying until her eyes were blurred, she just held her sister's hand bitterly.She understands the truth, but she can't just look at her own sister. She will never see her again in this life, and she will not know whether she is alive or dead.

Seeing that Concubine Jing finally stopped crying, Chen Ziyan knew that her sister had figured it out, and said with a smile:

"Sister, my father asked me to tell you. You have reached such a high position, second only to the queen. What you really need to do is to give birth to a prince as soon as possible, not others. Don't make such a mistake this time. Throughout the dynasties, this It's a big taboo of the Tian family. My sister hopes that you can be strong, don't be blinded by jealousy, honor your parents for me, and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."
