Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 207
Chapter 207
When Luo Shuxuan walked to the outer courtyard, the escort team had already left, and now only the bleached snow and streamers were left in the courtyard, and the low howling wind was like whistling and weeping, which made people's ears numb.
"Yushan." Luo Shuxuan stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes that had just fallen, and watched it slowly melt into drops of water at his fingertips, "I hope you stay away from the hustle and bustle in another world, and live a smooth and worry-free life."
Being the daughter of the Luo family is too hard.On the one hand, she has to avoid her edge and keep a low profile, and on the other hand, she has to study hard to become the standard candidate for the empress who the mistress has high hopes for. The two faces have to be constantly exchanged in front of others. In the end, they can't even find which one is the real self. arrive.Perhaps, the daughter of the Luo family was doomed long ago to be someone else, a "queen".
If Yushan had lived her own way since she was a child, and hadn't been forced by his mother again and again, and finally forced to the point of rebellion, her fate might not have ended here.
Even if it is an ordinary official lady, it is better than losing her life like this.
"Second Master Luo, I'm sorry for the change."
Hearing the voice, Luo Shuxuan was startled for a moment, then turned to look at the person coming.
Jiang Fan'er had a plain brocade cloak on his shoulders, fox fur around his neck, holding a Suan Ni hand warmer in his hand, and his eyes were a little red.
"Miss Jiang." Luo Shuxuan seldom spoke to her in a serious manner. Today is definitely the most serious and serious time we have known each other for so many years. "Thank you for coming to send Yushan off."
"Sister Yushan and I have been friends for so many years. When she is gone, I should come to see her off." Jiang Fan'er looked disappointed, "The person who once thought that he could play around for a lifetime, left everyone in the blink of an eye. This feeling is really uncomfortable. It's good!"
The Luo family did not disclose the cause of Luo Yushan's death to the public, so Jiang Fan'er didn't know about it, but in her heart, even if Luo Yushan's appearance was unbearable, she was still her good sister. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Luo Yushan was indeed a bit stubborn and unreasonable. Only after she has been in contact with her for a long time can she realize that the reason why she has become so distorted is because she has been exerted a huge pressure beyond her age group since she was a child, so that she was stretched to the extreme and broke the string directly. He found a breakthrough and acted recklessly, regardless of other people's feelings.
Behind the domineering publicity, Luo Yushan also cried and told Jiang Fan'er that she was envious of her being able to walk out of the gate. Even if she disguised herself as a man to perform an autopsy, it was doing what she liked, instead of being bound by various rules and etiquette all day long. Looking up, I can only see the palm-sized sky, day after day, year after year, only when I leave the court can I fly out of that cage completely, but who can guarantee that her husband's house is not another room that traps her? What about the cage?
After Luo Yushan's hair fell out, the "good sisters" who used to be with her gradually became estranged from her. Only Jiang Fan'er was not affected by the outside world, and came to play with her every now and then.
When Jiang Faner came to find Luo Yushan, Luo Shuxuan was not there, but he had heard about it, so he sincerely thanked Jiang Faner for being able to accompany Luo Yushan through the most difficult days. "If Yushan has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely bless Miss Jiang."
"As long as sister Yushan can live well over there, it doesn't matter if she protects me or not." Jiang Fan'er was sad in her heart, and as she said that, tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let her go. it falls.
Luo Shuxuan didn't speak anymore, and looked up at the gray sky above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Fan'er suddenly felt that Luo Shuxuan seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes in just a few days because of Luo Yushan's death. Compared with the willful and stubborn in the past, he seemed to have really grown up now.
"Second Young Master, go and see Madam!" After Jiang Fan'er left, the servant couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.There are many good people in this mansion, especially those who have served the master for a long time. It is easy to see that the eldest son's easy-going appearance hides a vicious cruelty that is on the verge of breaking out. I prefer the second son, but from the beginning to the end, the eldest son has never expressed his position on this matter. Not expressing his position does not mean that he has no ideas. In the final analysis, there are only two possibilities: First, the eldest son really doesn't care about his uncle and his wife's treatment of him. That lukewarm attitude; secondly, the Eldest Young Master is just enduring all the time, and at the same time, he is looking for a breakthrough in his patience. Once the bottom line is really touched, it may be the time when the Luo family will be turned upside down.
So at this time, no matter whether the Eldest Young Master has such thoughts or not, he should not let his wife be alone with him.
Luo Shuxuan showed doubts, "What's wrong with my mother?"
The servant hesitated.
Luo Shuxuan frowned, "I'll go right away."
Mrs. Luo had already been sent back to the inner courtyard to rest, and Luo Shuxuan met Luo Shuxu at the hanging flower gate.
"Brother, is mother better?"
"It seems that the second brother really cares about mother's safety!" Luo Shuxu smiled lightly, "No wonder your parents love you so much. See, you care more about people than I do."
Luo Shuxuan felt baffled, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Luo Shuxu patted Luo Shuxuan on the shoulder, "There are still many things you want to do but haven't done, hurry up and do them, otherwise if you accidentally change the sky, you will be too late for everything."
Luo Shuxuan became more and more puzzled, and when Luo Shuxu turned around, he took advantage of the opportunity to grab his arm, "I don't understand the meaning behind what Big Brother said, why hurry up, what change, what do you want to do?"
Luo Shuxu raised his eyebrows, "It's fine if you don't understand." It's much happier to be a fool than to go to hell with the truth.
"Brother!" Looking at Luo Shuxu's back with his sleeves flicking away, Luo Shuxuan felt panic for no reason, and he hurried to Mrs. Luo's yard.
When he entered the door, he heard the maid said that his wife had just fallen asleep, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Shu Xuan." Mrs. Luo's weak voice came from inside.
Luo Shuxuan gritted his teeth and moved in, "Mother."
Mrs. Luo on the bed was even more haggard than when she was talking outside before, looking at Luo Shuxuan with a pair of dull eyes, it seemed that it took a long time to confirm that this person was him, "Shu Xuan, come here."
"Mother, what's the matter?" Luo Shuxuan sat down slowly, his voice becoming softer and more cautious.
"Shu Xuan, listen to what mother said." After finally clenching her son's hand tightly, Mrs. Luo became excited, "Run away, take the bag and escape from the capital, as far as you can, don't run away in a short time return."
Luo Shuxuan looked horrified, "Mother, what are you talking about, my son is fine, why did you run away?"
Mrs. Luo had tears in her eyes. She had just been fed an unknown drug by that evil son, and now she felt paralyzed all over her body, and even had trouble speaking, so she could only speak concisely, "Your elder brother, he...he..."
"Mother, what's wrong with Big Brother?" Seeing that Mrs. Luo's reaction was a bit strange, Luo Shuxuan kept asking to no avail, then turned his head following Mrs. Luo's gaze, only to see that Luo Shuxu didn't know when to go and come back, standing still at this moment. Behind the bead curtain, the expression on the backlight is not very real, but it has a gloomy and cold taste.
"Mother, the doctor said that you are angry and have the potential to have a stroke. You should talk less and rest more!" Luo Shuxu opened the bead curtain and walked in slowly, sitting in front of the couch, looking at Mrs. Luo with threatening and murderous eyes. meaning.
Mrs. Luo fully believed that as long as she dared to reveal something in front of Luo Shuxuan, Luo Shuxu would do what she said to make her suffer a stroke. At that time, she couldn't keep Shu Xuan from speaking, and even she would have to become Luo Shuxu's puppet.She scolded thousands of evil words in her heart, and had to swallow mouthfuls of blood foam. Such contradictory emotions made her face look slightly distorted.
"Brother." Seeing Luo Shuxu, Luo Shuxuan couldn't help but think of what he said to himself before, "Did something happen?"
"Something happened." Luo Shuxuan tucked the corner of the quilt for Mrs. Luo. If it wasn't useful to keep her, he really wanted to lift the quilt and suffocate her. In the past 19 years, apart from the grace of giving birth, she was all reprimanded and scolded. If he didn't do well, Luo Shuxuan could be punished lightly or even exempted from punishment, but he had to be punished heavily. If there was anything delicious and fun, he had to let Luo Shuxuan because of his "brother" status as the eldest brother.Enduring for so many years is enough! "Don't you think your father has been missing for a long time?"
When Luo Shuxuan said this, Luo Shuxuan suddenly woke up. His father did not see him early in the morning. He never came out to see him even when the spirit sending team left. He always thought that his father deliberately avoided him because he couldn't face Yu Shan's death. No see, could it be... Could it be that this is not the case, father, something happened?
"Brother, please explain clearly." Luo Shuxuan looked eagerly, "What happened to father?"
"There is a daughter like Luo Yushan, whose father has no face to face his wife and children, and apologizes with death." Luo Shuxu pronounced the sentence expressionlessly.
With a "boom", Luo Shuxuan's head exploded, his face was pale, "What did you say!" in a completely unbelievable tone.
Luo Shuxu looked at Mrs. Luo who was also staring wide-eyed in astonishment on the bed, and raised her lips, as if to say, "When you chose Luo Shuxuan, you should have thought of this day long ago. Now I just put what originally belonged to me It’s all about getting it back.”
Mrs. Luo cried in shock, what a wicked person!Unfilial son!How dare he attack his biological father!
Seeing that Mrs. Luo had something to say, Luo Shuxu didn't turn his head, and said coldly, "Second brother, isn't he planning to go out to prepare for the funeral?" It's ironic that he just sent his sister off to his father!
Luo Shuxuan looked at Luo Shuxu, and it was clear that the person in front of him was only a short distance away, but the person in front of him was not at all different from the gentle and easy-going brother in his impression. The current one was more like an evil ghost who could never be satisfied, full of hostility, making people Stay away.
Mrs. Luo tried her best to wink at Luo Shuxuan, hoping that he would find a way to escape from the capital as soon as possible after leaving this door, but Luo Shuxuan obviously didn't take her instructions to heart. What he is most worried about now is Uncle Guo. Running towards Uncle Guo's yard at the fastest speed, unexpectedly——
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he was hit hard on the back of the head and passed out immediately. Someone covered him with a sack and dragged him into the cellar.
Luo Shuxu was still sitting in front of Mrs. Luo's bed, his eyes faded from the disguise of more than ten years, and became vicious and vicious.
Mrs. Luo's heart was hurting, and she was hoarse after taking the medicine, "Luo Shuxu, do you think you can successfully get the crown prince if you hold me hostage? You are dreaming! If you don't have your father's request to seal the memorial, you will have nothing. Yes! But you killed him, you dare to kill your father with your own hands, you scoundrel!"
"I don't need to get those." Luo Shuxu didn't care at all, "It's just an earl's son, I haven't paid attention to it yet."
Mrs. Luo's eyes gradually became frightened, "You, what did you do?"
"It's not what I did, but what the Luo family did, and what Luo Shuxuan did when he was in the southwest."
As Luo Shuxu said, he did not know where to take out several secret letters and opened them to Mrs. Luo one by one. It was all about the fact that Luo Shuxuan lost to the enemy when he led the army to the southwest, and that it was false that he fell into the enemy's camp to trade military supplies. Really "evidence".
There is also a letter of love from Luo Shuxu asking himself to get rid of his family, with several fingerprints on it, one of which belonged to Uncle Guo.
Luo Shuxu moved the letter closer to Mrs. Luo, and smiled lightly, "Luo Shuxuan cannot escape from collaborating with the enemy and treason."
Mrs. Luo was terrified when she saw it, "Impossible! Shu Xuan wouldn't do such a thing. It's you, you must be the one who slandered him. You didn't even let your own father and brothers go. Luo Shuxu, you don't have to be afraid if you have any conscience Is there a thunderstorm?"
"Heh - I have believed in God's will for nineteen years, but how did God reward me? For so many years, Luo Shuxuan can get things that I have to work hard on my own. As long as I have it, he doesn't have it. You have to let him go, even to him, even if I like it no matter how much I like it. It’s been 19 years, and I gave up for 19 years, and today, it’s time for all of you to let me go.”
"Luo Shuxu!" Seeing that he was about to get up, Mrs. Luo shouted anxiously, "You can't do this!" Once those so-called "evidences" were handed over, the Luo family would be completely ruined.
"Mother, do you think that at such a time, you still have the ability to turn the tide? Or are you looking forward to who will save you? Hehe, don't be stupid, Empress Luo is about to lose herself, but anyone with a brain, she should do it at a time like this." For you, like snakes and scorpions, how could you take the risk of being deposed to meddle in the Luo family's affairs?"
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale again, "Shu Xu, good son, calm down, can you listen to your mother's explanation, in fact, it's not that your father really doesn't like you, but..."
"You talk too much!" Before he finished speaking, Luo Shuxu stuffed his mouth with a thick cloth.
Mrs. Luo was sane after taking cartilage anesthesia, but she couldn't move her hands and feet, she couldn't even pull out the cloth ball in her mouth, so she could only stare at Luo Shuxu with wide eyes.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Luo Shuxu took back all the "evidence" and raised it in his hand, "These should be a New Year's Eve gift from me to the Luo family. Look at how filial your son is, afraid of his parents. I have placed an order, and I will let you go to Huangquan Road together. From now on, parents will have a spirit in heaven, so please bless your son's official career and prosperity!"
-
Because of Luo Yushan's matter, Empress Luo went to Longquan Temple to pray for blessings a few days before New Year's Eve, and left for the palace in the morning of New Year's Eve.
On the official road, the guard of honor that was advancing slowly stopped suddenly, and Empress Luo asked through the curtain, "What happened?"
Eunuch Wen trotted forward, with a troubled expression on his face, he said, "I want to report to the Empress, it was Duke Xuan who stopped Luanjia."
Empress Luo opened the curtains, and saw the man riding on the tall horse at the front of the guard of honor was handsome and handsome. His extraordinary demeanor was so eye-catching in the snow-covered mountains. The originally monotonous and pale nature was colored by his appearance. Plenty and full, it is immediately beautiful and picturesque. After looking at it for a long time, I can't tell whether it is a picture of a person or a picture of a person.
Rao Empress Luo, who was nearly forty years old, couldn't help being dazzled by Su Yan, and she sighed in her heart that the Su family really produced beautiful men, and Su Yan was the most beautiful man among the many men in the Su family, thanks to her little girl. My daughter knows how to measure, otherwise, if she is really addicted to Su Yan's beauty and cannot extricate herself, she really doesn't know how to wake her up!
Because she grew up with her own son since she was a child, Empress Luo was quite polite to Su Yan and asked to invite him over immediately.
"Duke Xuan Guo stopped Luanjia, but there is something important?"
Su Yan rode his horse to the front of the imperial chariot, got off the horse, bowed to Empress Luo and lowered his voice, "I wonder if the Empress can take a step to speak?"
Empress Luo's eyes flashed, Su Yan was a very man of the city, if it wasn't for something important, he couldn't have ran out of the city to stop her, let alone make such a bold request.
"You all step back." Empress Luo waved her hand, and retreated the left and right attendants.
After all the maids and guards backed away, they looked at Su Yan, "Can you tell me?"
Su Yan pursed her lips, and said in a lower voice, "Empress, did you ever think that one day you will have to choose between your children and your mother?"
Empress Luo's face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"
"If I tell the empress that you are facing such a choice now, what should you do?"
Empress Luo's heart skipped a beat, "It's just you and me now, if you have anything to say, you might as well make it clear, I don't like playing riddles with others."
It seems that Empress Luo really doesn't know anything about these things, Su Yan simply said clearly, "Luo Shuxu surrendered to the virtuous king, and the two conspired to fabricate evidence that Luo Shuxuan colluded with the enemy and treason. At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, King Xian will present the so-called 'evidence' in front of all civil and military ministers, and by then, none of the Luo family will be able to escape."
Empress Luo's heart sank to the bottom, "Xu'er? How could he do such a thing?"
"Empress." Su Yan interrupted her coldly, "Nowadays, you don't have time to question Weichen's words. The time for Weichen to meet you is limited. I can't explain many things in a few words, but if you believe Weichen, then Everything is subject to the arrangement of Weichen. Of course, in order to keep King Jin and Princess Yongchun, you can only choose to give up the Luo family, or even... give up the posthumous position, and vice versa. If you choose to keep the Luo family, then King Jin and Princess Yongchun must become The victims in this battle for the heir apparent—the King of Jin and the Luo family, who does the empress want to live and who does she want to die?"
Empress Luo's face became more and more frightened, her lips trembled, "Su Yan, please give me a reason to believe in you."
It's not that she can't trust Su Yan's character, but that this incident happened so suddenly that people can't accept it. It seems that in the blink of an eye, she, the high-ranking harem master, has become a person standing between her children and the mother clan. The arbiter, who lives and who dies, is up to her to decide.
"The reason is that it is as difficult as reaching the heavens to sit in that position by King Jin alone. Even if he is the empress, your beloved son will not have much advantage. He may be able to defeat or even subdue all opponents, but I can't conquer the hearts of the people in the world, but my humble minister can, and my humble minister can not only send him to that position, but also help him create a prosperous world, and return the people to a beautiful land."
Empress Luo was shocked, "Are you on King Jin's team?" Empress Luo knew Su Yan was a neutral faction all along, but she didn't expect him to choose the master, and he chose his beloved son Jin'er .At this moment, Empress Luo couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in. She thought, maybe it was more of a surprise. To have such counselors by Jin'er's side was like adding hundreds of thousands of troops. How could she not like it?
"Empress, please make a decision." Su Yan's tone was somewhat urgent, even though he asked people to "clear the venue" a little when he came to ensure that He Lianyu's people would not get the news that he had met with Queen Luo in private. But don't be afraid of anything. After all, only the dead can keep such things as "secrets" forever. Otherwise, once the light is leaked, no matter how tight it is, it will be exposed one day. Such a critical moment.
Suddenly got the news that Luo Shuxu rebelled against the Luo family, and suddenly learned that the virtuous king was going to put the Luo family to death, and even fabricated the evidence. In the end, Jin'er, Shuang'er and the Luo family, who is she going to protect?
The answer is self-evident.
There is no mother who does not love her children. Although her parents are still alive, she cannot tolerate too much hesitation at this time. If possible, she would rather sacrifice her own life for her parents to live forever. .
It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the face of the bloody cruelty of Seizing the Inheritance.
"I want Jin'er and Shuang'er to be well."
Su Yan could hear that Empress Luo's voice had become hoarse due to the discomfort in her throat, "Can you do it?"
Su Yan looked at her blankly, like an executioner on the execution ground issuing an execution order, "If you want to keep King Jin and Princess Yongchun, you can only sacrifice the Luo family. After tonight, the Luo family will be destroyed for 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' , even your status as empress will be greatly affected by this, have you... thought it over?"
Empress Luo's eyes were very red, and her voice began to choke, "There is no emperor whose road to success is not blood-stained. Behind the flowers and brocades, there must be ruthless fighting and secret fighting. If this is the only way for Jin'er to go, then Use my blood to sacrifice the flag for him." Pause, take a deep breath, "Jin'er is impulsive and irritable, and his emotions are difficult to control. I hope Su Aiqing can give more advice when assisting him in the future. Bengong I can’t thank you enough.”
"This is what I should do." Su Yan said indifferently: "Since the empress has made a choice, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, but before leaving, I still have something to say to the empress. "
"But it doesn't matter."
"I hope that only you and I will know about today's matter, and it will not be heard by a third person." This is to remind her that even He Lianjin can't tell.
Empress Luo nodded, "That's natural." Although they were discussing matters between He Lianjin and the Luo family, every word was consistent with He Lianjin's emperor's way. To put it bluntly, the two of them were conspiring to rebel, and Empress Luo came to power After so many years, how could it be possible not to know such a simple truth? Of course, the fewer people know, the safer.
"Keep this thing for your majesty." Su Yan took out a kit from his sleeve pocket, "If the situation tonight really develops in the direction I predicted, then you open it when you are desperate, but if If the situation has changed, then I hope that the empress will burn this thing when the opportunity arises, so that no one else can peep at it."
Empress Luo took the brocade bag and put it in the wide brocade sleeve, with a dignified expression, "Su Aiqing, I'm sorry for your trouble."
"Empress, please remember that the situation tonight is dangerous. If something goes wrong, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Yongchun will be put in a doomed situation by the opponent. Therefore, what to say and do at the palace banquet, I hope that the empress will adapt accordingly."
"I'll save it." Empress Luo nodded solemnly again, and watched Su Yan leave quickly.
-
When Su Yan returned to the Duke's Mansion, Yun Chuwei was waiting for him to eat, "Master Jiu, where have you been?"
Seeing her, no matter how difficult the situation is and how heavy the mood is, the smog can be easily swept away, and a gentle smile appears in an instant, "I have something to do, let's go out for a while, haven't you waited for a long time?"
"Yes!" Yun Chu pouted slightly, "Baby and I are both hungry."
Su Yan took off his cloak and handed it to Bai Tan, walked over and sat beside her, and poured her a bowl of steaming soup, "Since you're hungry, why don't you eat first?"
Yun Chuwei took the soup bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon, "Isn't it New Year's Eve today? Master Jiu is going to enter the palace tonight, so I can only have New Year's Eve dinner with you in advance during the daytime."
Speaking of entering the palace, Su Yan's eyes darkened a bit.
"It's a pity that I'm pregnant, otherwise, I would also accompany Master Jiu to the palace to celebrate the New Year." She suddenly smiled mischievously.
"Good boy." Su Yan rubbed her head, "There are too many people at the palace banquet, it's noisy and boring, you just stay at home and wait for me, if you can come back earlier, I'll take you out to watch the fireworks, okay?"
"Okay." Yun Chu nodded happily, "Jiu Ye can mean what he says, I can't just wait at home, but you are drinking fine wine at the palace banquet to see beauties, I will be angry."
"Well, you must mean what you say." He sat closer again, took the soup bowl from her hand, and fed it to her spoon by spoon. Under the thick and slender eyelashes, a pair of phoenix eyes were extremely deep.
After lunch, someone came from Su's residence. It was Xiao Sun's mother who was in front of her. She looked at Su Yan with a respectful expression, "Jiuye, grandma asked this old slave to invite you to go over to officiate."
Su Yan responded lightly, "Come right away."
It is the practice of the Su family to open the ancestral hall on New Year's Eve every year, and this year is no exception, except that Su Yan was chosen as the officiant. Last year, the old man stood up from the wheelchair and led the clansmen to walk the ceremony. This year's energy is obviously not as good. Last year, not to mention bringing the clansmen to officiate, even eating and drinking was a problem. To put it bluntly, the old man belonged to the kind of person who lived all his life and waited to die.Except for the daily meals and necessary greetings, few of the children and grandchildren in the front yard would put their energy on him, and even many of his sons were looking forward to his early death.
the reason...
Once Mrs. Su died, regardless of whether she was in Beijing or released, all the masters have been suspended. Now they are all idle at home for a few days and staring at each other. It has only been less than half a year since three years. Then Ding You's time limit can be overlapped, so that he won't be idle for too long, but if the three-year filial piety period expires, and the old man has not "died", they will have another "three years", and one three-year has already destroyed half of the Soviet Union. Family, if they come for another three years, it is hard to imagine what the Su family will be like.
In fact, it's not just the masters who are worried about this matter, but also the head of the family, Mrs. Sun and Princess Linglong of the fourth room. The eldest wife, Mrs. Sun, doesn't care much. When discussing anything with her, I am afraid that she will say "casual, it doesn't matter".
"Uncle Nine, you're here."
Xiao Sun, who had been standing at the door waiting for a long time, suddenly saw Su Yan, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put on a smile, "Has Uncle Jiu eaten?"
"It's been used." Su Yan looked into the courtyard, and there were already many clansmen waiting inside, but most of them were young, and the older ones who liked to show off. They probably would have to put on a show for a while before they would show up. The method, who makes someone old? Even the patriarch (the old man) himself has to give people three points of respect. Besides, the person who will be the officiant this year is Su Yan, and Su Yan is in the military power, and he was taken back and handed over to Mr. Qiu. Under the premise of being a soldier, even if he is forced to officiate as a "son of the eldest son" today, there are still many people who refuse to accept him.
This is the case within a big family with a lot of fighting. Today you hold 30 military power and dominate the southern border. That is the phoenix that has lost its hair. Normally, I can't do anything to you, but now I have to step on you to make up for my unbalanced psychology.
It can only be said that those old guys in the clan have good ideas, but it is a pity that the person they met was Su Yan. You are tough, but he is tougher than you. Want to take Joe in front of him?OK, you wait.He immediately asked people to extinguish all the braziers in the banquet hall, removed the firewood burning in the ground dragon, and opened all the windows. In just two cups of tea, the entire banquet hall was as cold as an underground ice cellar. They were all shivering from the cold, but Su Yan remained motionless, sitting and drinking tea calmly.
When those old guys stepped in with their hands on the shelves and their chins behind their backs, it happened that there was a strong cold wind outside, piercing into everyone's bones, the leader of the clan elder shivered, and scolded the maid beside him, "In such a cold day, why don't you burn the ground dragon and light the brazier?"
The servant girl lowered her head, her teeth were too frozen to speak.
"Uncles, please sit down." Su Yan raised his head and smiled at Yan Yan, his clear eyes clearly concealed a biting colder than the cold wind.
The elders of the clan were indeed very cold, and there was nothing to keep them warm in the house, so they could only breathe heavily and rub their hands together.
"Come here, let's have some tea." Su Yan motioned.
The maids picked up the teapot, tried their best to control the trembling hands, and poured tea for several clan elders. The first clan elder who drank the tea spit out with a "puff" and looked at Su Yan as if he was about to spit fire. "This water has been frozen, Su Yan, how dare you receive us with frozen water!"
Listen, in the past, there was a "Guo Gongye" on the left with a smile on his face, and a "Guo Gongye" on the right. Now he doesn't even bother to pretend, and just takes out the airs of the elders and scolds at will, this hairless Phoenix! , is easier to bully than a pheasant.
But what, pheasant?Even if Su Yan is a pheasant, he still has a crown on his head, "I just heard from my nephew that the auspicious time for ancestor worship this year is [-]:[-] noon. Uncles, may I ask, what time is it now?"
The clan elders all choked, now, it is more than three quarters in the afternoon, and the auspicious time has passed.Worshiping ancestors, there is still Zhengdan if the New Year's Eve is not completed, and it doesn't have to be today. Today, even if he is given a blow to him, I still don't believe that a little kid who hasn't grown all his hair dares to call them respectable clansmen. how old.
"Being late for the ancestor worship is disrespectful to the ancestors." Su Yan's expression was light and his tone was calm, but it was this strange calm that made people feel hairy involuntarily. My elders and younger generations have always known that you like to lead by example. Since today is [-] years old, the ancestors gathered here can’t bear to criticize you too much on this happy day, so I think it’s better, uncles may as well Go and kneel outside the ancestral hall for an hour to set an example for the younger generation! Lest you don’t see it with your own eyes, those ignorant Lizi will think that worshiping ancestors is just a small matter of lip service, and treat the Su family’s ancestral hall as a market. When it arrives, it will arrive at that time, and if things go on like this, wouldn’t the ancestor’s precepts and family rules become a decoration?”
Standing aside, Xiao Sun and Princess Linglong gasped together. Should it be said that they are the God of War Su Jiuye who has gone to the battlefield to count soldiers and licked blood on the tip of a knife?These few people in the hall are clan elders who dare not offend the old master easily. As a young man, how dare he speak nonsense and punish the clan elders to kneel outside the ancestral hall under the heavy snow for an hour?This courage, tsk...
"What did you say!" The clan elder who was spraying the tea glared at Su Yan angrily, "You dare to punish the elder?"
Su Yan smiled, "In front of our ancestors, you and I are nothing but fluffy children who haven't grown up."
The clan elder choked, his face was livid with anger, and the veins on his forehead were ferocious.
Su Yan laughed again, "You don't have to kneel if you don't want to. Report all of you which branch you belong to. From today onwards, we will not only branch, but also clan and clan. We have broken away from the main branch. You can play around with Joe any way you want. The younger generation will definitely not interfere." The implication is that when I get back the military power one day, none of you will be able to get the protection of the main line again.
When the elders of the clan heard this, they panicked.
In fact, they just wanted to put on airs to give themselves a sense of presence when Su Yan had no real power, so that Su Yan could know that the Su family could have what it is today, not only because of the main line, but without them, the elders of the Su family, the Su family would not be able to survive. nothing.But no one expected that Su Yan would not follow their old-fashioned ways at all. He directly used the aura of a prince to overwhelm them, and took the initiative in an instant. Want to take Joe?It's okay, if you divide the clan and clan, it's all up to you to decide how to arrange it, but there is one thing, if something happens to the offshoots you have divided in the future, don't expect the Duke of Su's Mansion to extend it. Half a helping hand.
threaten!This is a naked threat!
But what can be done, even if the threat is successful, no matter how senior they are, they are only relative to the clan. They are nothing but the Su family. Don't expect this Duke of the State to come to the top of the sky.
One by one, they swallowed the old blood with their necks stuck, and after coldly snorting, they really went to kneel outside the ancestral hall.
Xiao Sun was so shocked that she couldn't recover, she stared at Su Yan in a daze, "Ninth Uncle, clan elders..."
"One hour, less than a quarter of an hour, they are not allowed to get up." Su Yan stood up, said a word with a stern face, and left.
Xiao Sun followed behind and shouted, "Uncle Jiu, you haven't worshiped your ancestors yet!"
"tomorrow."
Su Yan didn't look back, and he didn't feel happy because he punished those clan elders, but became more and more dignified.
Tonight's palace banquet is destined to be full of blood.
-
Before nightfall, Su Yan changed into his official uniform and bid farewell to Yun Chuwei and got on his horse.
"Jiuye should come back sooner. You said you would take me to watch the fireworks." Yun Chuwei's watery eyes were full of hope. It's been a long time since I went out romantically with Jiuye. The fireworks on New Year's Eve It was very beautiful to think about it, she had already started looking forward to this man before he entered the palace.
"Wei Wei." Su Yan's voice was hoarse on horseback.
"Ok?"
"Wear more, don't freeze." He thought for a while, and swallowed those unlucky words. Now that he is ready, he will only win and not lose. There are not so many ifs, he will definitely Come back from the palace without incident, and then take her and the baby to watch the most beautiful fireworks.
"Yeah." She nodded, smiled and waved, "Wait for you!"
Su Yan turned away, grabbed the reins tightly, and quickly rode his horse and disappeared at the end of the long street.
Yun Chuwei's eyes fell on the direction where he had long since disappeared, and suddenly reached out to caress his chest, "Why do you feel a little restless?"
Aunt Han said: "Madam may be waiting for Master Jiu not to have a good rest at noon, or go back and take a nap for a while. It's still early before the palace banquet ends. Madam has had enough rest in advance. Wait for Master Jiu to come back and bring you You won’t feel sleepy while watching fireworks.”
Yun Chuwei made sense after thinking about it, "Okay."
(End of this chapter)
When Luo Shuxuan walked to the outer courtyard, the escort team had already left, and now only the bleached snow and streamers were left in the courtyard, and the low howling wind was like whistling and weeping, which made people's ears numb.
"Yushan." Luo Shuxuan stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes that had just fallen, and watched it slowly melt into drops of water at his fingertips, "I hope you stay away from the hustle and bustle in another world, and live a smooth and worry-free life."
Being the daughter of the Luo family is too hard.On the one hand, she has to avoid her edge and keep a low profile, and on the other hand, she has to study hard to become the standard candidate for the empress who the mistress has high hopes for. The two faces have to be constantly exchanged in front of others. In the end, they can't even find which one is the real self. arrive.Perhaps, the daughter of the Luo family was doomed long ago to be someone else, a "queen".
If Yushan had lived her own way since she was a child, and hadn't been forced by his mother again and again, and finally forced to the point of rebellion, her fate might not have ended here.
Even if it is an ordinary official lady, it is better than losing her life like this.
"Second Master Luo, I'm sorry for the change."
Hearing the voice, Luo Shuxuan was startled for a moment, then turned to look at the person coming.
Jiang Fan'er had a plain brocade cloak on his shoulders, fox fur around his neck, holding a Suan Ni hand warmer in his hand, and his eyes were a little red.
"Miss Jiang." Luo Shuxuan seldom spoke to her in a serious manner. Today is definitely the most serious and serious time we have known each other for so many years. "Thank you for coming to send Yushan off."
"Sister Yushan and I have been friends for so many years. When she is gone, I should come to see her off." Jiang Fan'er looked disappointed, "The person who once thought that he could play around for a lifetime, left everyone in the blink of an eye. This feeling is really uncomfortable. It's good!"
The Luo family did not disclose the cause of Luo Yushan's death to the public, so Jiang Fan'er didn't know about it, but in her heart, even if Luo Yushan's appearance was unbearable, she was still her good sister. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Luo Yushan was indeed a bit stubborn and unreasonable. Only after she has been in contact with her for a long time can she realize that the reason why she has become so distorted is because she has been exerted a huge pressure beyond her age group since she was a child, so that she was stretched to the extreme and broke the string directly. He found a breakthrough and acted recklessly, regardless of other people's feelings.
Behind the domineering publicity, Luo Yushan also cried and told Jiang Fan'er that she was envious of her being able to walk out of the gate. Even if she disguised herself as a man to perform an autopsy, it was doing what she liked, instead of being bound by various rules and etiquette all day long. Looking up, I can only see the palm-sized sky, day after day, year after year, only when I leave the court can I fly out of that cage completely, but who can guarantee that her husband's house is not another room that traps her? What about the cage?
After Luo Yushan's hair fell out, the "good sisters" who used to be with her gradually became estranged from her. Only Jiang Fan'er was not affected by the outside world, and came to play with her every now and then.
When Jiang Faner came to find Luo Yushan, Luo Shuxuan was not there, but he had heard about it, so he sincerely thanked Jiang Faner for being able to accompany Luo Yushan through the most difficult days. "If Yushan has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely bless Miss Jiang."
"As long as sister Yushan can live well over there, it doesn't matter if she protects me or not." Jiang Fan'er was sad in her heart, and as she said that, tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let her go. it falls.
Luo Shuxuan didn't speak anymore, and looked up at the gray sky above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Fan'er suddenly felt that Luo Shuxuan seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes in just a few days because of Luo Yushan's death. Compared with the willful and stubborn in the past, he seemed to have really grown up now.
"Second Young Master, go and see Madam!" After Jiang Fan'er left, the servant couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.There are many good people in this mansion, especially those who have served the master for a long time. It is easy to see that the eldest son's easy-going appearance hides a vicious cruelty that is on the verge of breaking out. I prefer the second son, but from the beginning to the end, the eldest son has never expressed his position on this matter. Not expressing his position does not mean that he has no ideas. In the final analysis, there are only two possibilities: First, the eldest son really doesn't care about his uncle and his wife's treatment of him. That lukewarm attitude; secondly, the Eldest Young Master is just enduring all the time, and at the same time, he is looking for a breakthrough in his patience. Once the bottom line is really touched, it may be the time when the Luo family will be turned upside down.
So at this time, no matter whether the Eldest Young Master has such thoughts or not, he should not let his wife be alone with him.
Luo Shuxuan showed doubts, "What's wrong with my mother?"
The servant hesitated.
Luo Shuxuan frowned, "I'll go right away."
Mrs. Luo had already been sent back to the inner courtyard to rest, and Luo Shuxuan met Luo Shuxu at the hanging flower gate.
"Brother, is mother better?"
"It seems that the second brother really cares about mother's safety!" Luo Shuxu smiled lightly, "No wonder your parents love you so much. See, you care more about people than I do."
Luo Shuxuan felt baffled, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Luo Shuxu patted Luo Shuxuan on the shoulder, "There are still many things you want to do but haven't done, hurry up and do them, otherwise if you accidentally change the sky, you will be too late for everything."
Luo Shuxuan became more and more puzzled, and when Luo Shuxu turned around, he took advantage of the opportunity to grab his arm, "I don't understand the meaning behind what Big Brother said, why hurry up, what change, what do you want to do?"
Luo Shuxu raised his eyebrows, "It's fine if you don't understand." It's much happier to be a fool than to go to hell with the truth.
"Brother!" Looking at Luo Shuxu's back with his sleeves flicking away, Luo Shuxuan felt panic for no reason, and he hurried to Mrs. Luo's yard.
When he entered the door, he heard the maid said that his wife had just fallen asleep, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Shu Xuan." Mrs. Luo's weak voice came from inside.
Luo Shuxuan gritted his teeth and moved in, "Mother."
Mrs. Luo on the bed was even more haggard than when she was talking outside before, looking at Luo Shuxuan with a pair of dull eyes, it seemed that it took a long time to confirm that this person was him, "Shu Xuan, come here."
"Mother, what's the matter?" Luo Shuxuan sat down slowly, his voice becoming softer and more cautious.
"Shu Xuan, listen to what mother said." After finally clenching her son's hand tightly, Mrs. Luo became excited, "Run away, take the bag and escape from the capital, as far as you can, don't run away in a short time return."
Luo Shuxuan looked horrified, "Mother, what are you talking about, my son is fine, why did you run away?"
Mrs. Luo had tears in her eyes. She had just been fed an unknown drug by that evil son, and now she felt paralyzed all over her body, and even had trouble speaking, so she could only speak concisely, "Your elder brother, he...he..."
"Mother, what's wrong with Big Brother?" Seeing that Mrs. Luo's reaction was a bit strange, Luo Shuxuan kept asking to no avail, then turned his head following Mrs. Luo's gaze, only to see that Luo Shuxu didn't know when to go and come back, standing still at this moment. Behind the bead curtain, the expression on the backlight is not very real, but it has a gloomy and cold taste.
"Mother, the doctor said that you are angry and have the potential to have a stroke. You should talk less and rest more!" Luo Shuxu opened the bead curtain and walked in slowly, sitting in front of the couch, looking at Mrs. Luo with threatening and murderous eyes. meaning.
Mrs. Luo fully believed that as long as she dared to reveal something in front of Luo Shuxuan, Luo Shuxu would do what she said to make her suffer a stroke. At that time, she couldn't keep Shu Xuan from speaking, and even she would have to become Luo Shuxu's puppet.She scolded thousands of evil words in her heart, and had to swallow mouthfuls of blood foam. Such contradictory emotions made her face look slightly distorted.
"Brother." Seeing Luo Shuxu, Luo Shuxuan couldn't help but think of what he said to himself before, "Did something happen?"
"Something happened." Luo Shuxuan tucked the corner of the quilt for Mrs. Luo. If it wasn't useful to keep her, he really wanted to lift the quilt and suffocate her. In the past 19 years, apart from the grace of giving birth, she was all reprimanded and scolded. If he didn't do well, Luo Shuxuan could be punished lightly or even exempted from punishment, but he had to be punished heavily. If there was anything delicious and fun, he had to let Luo Shuxuan because of his "brother" status as the eldest brother.Enduring for so many years is enough! "Don't you think your father has been missing for a long time?"
When Luo Shuxuan said this, Luo Shuxuan suddenly woke up. His father did not see him early in the morning. He never came out to see him even when the spirit sending team left. He always thought that his father deliberately avoided him because he couldn't face Yu Shan's death. No see, could it be... Could it be that this is not the case, father, something happened?
"Brother, please explain clearly." Luo Shuxuan looked eagerly, "What happened to father?"
"There is a daughter like Luo Yushan, whose father has no face to face his wife and children, and apologizes with death." Luo Shuxu pronounced the sentence expressionlessly.
With a "boom", Luo Shuxuan's head exploded, his face was pale, "What did you say!" in a completely unbelievable tone.
Luo Shuxu looked at Mrs. Luo who was also staring wide-eyed in astonishment on the bed, and raised her lips, as if to say, "When you chose Luo Shuxuan, you should have thought of this day long ago. Now I just put what originally belonged to me It’s all about getting it back.”
Mrs. Luo cried in shock, what a wicked person!Unfilial son!How dare he attack his biological father!
Seeing that Mrs. Luo had something to say, Luo Shuxu didn't turn his head, and said coldly, "Second brother, isn't he planning to go out to prepare for the funeral?" It's ironic that he just sent his sister off to his father!
Luo Shuxuan looked at Luo Shuxu, and it was clear that the person in front of him was only a short distance away, but the person in front of him was not at all different from the gentle and easy-going brother in his impression. The current one was more like an evil ghost who could never be satisfied, full of hostility, making people Stay away.
Mrs. Luo tried her best to wink at Luo Shuxuan, hoping that he would find a way to escape from the capital as soon as possible after leaving this door, but Luo Shuxuan obviously didn't take her instructions to heart. What he is most worried about now is Uncle Guo. Running towards Uncle Guo's yard at the fastest speed, unexpectedly——
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he was hit hard on the back of the head and passed out immediately. Someone covered him with a sack and dragged him into the cellar.
Luo Shuxu was still sitting in front of Mrs. Luo's bed, his eyes faded from the disguise of more than ten years, and became vicious and vicious.
Mrs. Luo's heart was hurting, and she was hoarse after taking the medicine, "Luo Shuxu, do you think you can successfully get the crown prince if you hold me hostage? You are dreaming! If you don't have your father's request to seal the memorial, you will have nothing. Yes! But you killed him, you dare to kill your father with your own hands, you scoundrel!"
"I don't need to get those." Luo Shuxu didn't care at all, "It's just an earl's son, I haven't paid attention to it yet."
Mrs. Luo's eyes gradually became frightened, "You, what did you do?"
"It's not what I did, but what the Luo family did, and what Luo Shuxuan did when he was in the southwest."
As Luo Shuxu said, he did not know where to take out several secret letters and opened them to Mrs. Luo one by one. It was all about the fact that Luo Shuxuan lost to the enemy when he led the army to the southwest, and that it was false that he fell into the enemy's camp to trade military supplies. Really "evidence".
There is also a letter of love from Luo Shuxu asking himself to get rid of his family, with several fingerprints on it, one of which belonged to Uncle Guo.
Luo Shuxu moved the letter closer to Mrs. Luo, and smiled lightly, "Luo Shuxuan cannot escape from collaborating with the enemy and treason."
Mrs. Luo was terrified when she saw it, "Impossible! Shu Xuan wouldn't do such a thing. It's you, you must be the one who slandered him. You didn't even let your own father and brothers go. Luo Shuxu, you don't have to be afraid if you have any conscience Is there a thunderstorm?"
"Heh - I have believed in God's will for nineteen years, but how did God reward me? For so many years, Luo Shuxuan can get things that I have to work hard on my own. As long as I have it, he doesn't have it. You have to let him go, even to him, even if I like it no matter how much I like it. It’s been 19 years, and I gave up for 19 years, and today, it’s time for all of you to let me go.”
"Luo Shuxu!" Seeing that he was about to get up, Mrs. Luo shouted anxiously, "You can't do this!" Once those so-called "evidences" were handed over, the Luo family would be completely ruined.
"Mother, do you think that at such a time, you still have the ability to turn the tide? Or are you looking forward to who will save you? Hehe, don't be stupid, Empress Luo is about to lose herself, but anyone with a brain, she should do it at a time like this." For you, like snakes and scorpions, how could you take the risk of being deposed to meddle in the Luo family's affairs?"
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale again, "Shu Xu, good son, calm down, can you listen to your mother's explanation, in fact, it's not that your father really doesn't like you, but..."
"You talk too much!" Before he finished speaking, Luo Shuxu stuffed his mouth with a thick cloth.
Mrs. Luo was sane after taking cartilage anesthesia, but she couldn't move her hands and feet, she couldn't even pull out the cloth ball in her mouth, so she could only stare at Luo Shuxu with wide eyes.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Luo Shuxu took back all the "evidence" and raised it in his hand, "These should be a New Year's Eve gift from me to the Luo family. Look at how filial your son is, afraid of his parents. I have placed an order, and I will let you go to Huangquan Road together. From now on, parents will have a spirit in heaven, so please bless your son's official career and prosperity!"
-
Because of Luo Yushan's matter, Empress Luo went to Longquan Temple to pray for blessings a few days before New Year's Eve, and left for the palace in the morning of New Year's Eve.
On the official road, the guard of honor that was advancing slowly stopped suddenly, and Empress Luo asked through the curtain, "What happened?"
Eunuch Wen trotted forward, with a troubled expression on his face, he said, "I want to report to the Empress, it was Duke Xuan who stopped Luanjia."
Empress Luo opened the curtains, and saw the man riding on the tall horse at the front of the guard of honor was handsome and handsome. His extraordinary demeanor was so eye-catching in the snow-covered mountains. The originally monotonous and pale nature was colored by his appearance. Plenty and full, it is immediately beautiful and picturesque. After looking at it for a long time, I can't tell whether it is a picture of a person or a picture of a person.
Rao Empress Luo, who was nearly forty years old, couldn't help being dazzled by Su Yan, and she sighed in her heart that the Su family really produced beautiful men, and Su Yan was the most beautiful man among the many men in the Su family, thanks to her little girl. My daughter knows how to measure, otherwise, if she is really addicted to Su Yan's beauty and cannot extricate herself, she really doesn't know how to wake her up!
Because she grew up with her own son since she was a child, Empress Luo was quite polite to Su Yan and asked to invite him over immediately.
"Duke Xuan Guo stopped Luanjia, but there is something important?"
Su Yan rode his horse to the front of the imperial chariot, got off the horse, bowed to Empress Luo and lowered his voice, "I wonder if the Empress can take a step to speak?"
Empress Luo's eyes flashed, Su Yan was a very man of the city, if it wasn't for something important, he couldn't have ran out of the city to stop her, let alone make such a bold request.
"You all step back." Empress Luo waved her hand, and retreated the left and right attendants.
After all the maids and guards backed away, they looked at Su Yan, "Can you tell me?"
Su Yan pursed her lips, and said in a lower voice, "Empress, did you ever think that one day you will have to choose between your children and your mother?"
Empress Luo's face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"
"If I tell the empress that you are facing such a choice now, what should you do?"
Empress Luo's heart skipped a beat, "It's just you and me now, if you have anything to say, you might as well make it clear, I don't like playing riddles with others."
It seems that Empress Luo really doesn't know anything about these things, Su Yan simply said clearly, "Luo Shuxu surrendered to the virtuous king, and the two conspired to fabricate evidence that Luo Shuxuan colluded with the enemy and treason. At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, King Xian will present the so-called 'evidence' in front of all civil and military ministers, and by then, none of the Luo family will be able to escape."
Empress Luo's heart sank to the bottom, "Xu'er? How could he do such a thing?"
"Empress." Su Yan interrupted her coldly, "Nowadays, you don't have time to question Weichen's words. The time for Weichen to meet you is limited. I can't explain many things in a few words, but if you believe Weichen, then Everything is subject to the arrangement of Weichen. Of course, in order to keep King Jin and Princess Yongchun, you can only choose to give up the Luo family, or even... give up the posthumous position, and vice versa. If you choose to keep the Luo family, then King Jin and Princess Yongchun must become The victims in this battle for the heir apparent—the King of Jin and the Luo family, who does the empress want to live and who does she want to die?"
Empress Luo's face became more and more frightened, her lips trembled, "Su Yan, please give me a reason to believe in you."
It's not that she can't trust Su Yan's character, but that this incident happened so suddenly that people can't accept it. It seems that in the blink of an eye, she, the high-ranking harem master, has become a person standing between her children and the mother clan. The arbiter, who lives and who dies, is up to her to decide.
"The reason is that it is as difficult as reaching the heavens to sit in that position by King Jin alone. Even if he is the empress, your beloved son will not have much advantage. He may be able to defeat or even subdue all opponents, but I can't conquer the hearts of the people in the world, but my humble minister can, and my humble minister can not only send him to that position, but also help him create a prosperous world, and return the people to a beautiful land."
Empress Luo was shocked, "Are you on King Jin's team?" Empress Luo knew Su Yan was a neutral faction all along, but she didn't expect him to choose the master, and he chose his beloved son Jin'er .At this moment, Empress Luo couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in. She thought, maybe it was more of a surprise. To have such counselors by Jin'er's side was like adding hundreds of thousands of troops. How could she not like it?
"Empress, please make a decision." Su Yan's tone was somewhat urgent, even though he asked people to "clear the venue" a little when he came to ensure that He Lianyu's people would not get the news that he had met with Queen Luo in private. But don't be afraid of anything. After all, only the dead can keep such things as "secrets" forever. Otherwise, once the light is leaked, no matter how tight it is, it will be exposed one day. Such a critical moment.
Suddenly got the news that Luo Shuxu rebelled against the Luo family, and suddenly learned that the virtuous king was going to put the Luo family to death, and even fabricated the evidence. In the end, Jin'er, Shuang'er and the Luo family, who is she going to protect?
The answer is self-evident.
There is no mother who does not love her children. Although her parents are still alive, she cannot tolerate too much hesitation at this time. If possible, she would rather sacrifice her own life for her parents to live forever. .
It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the face of the bloody cruelty of Seizing the Inheritance.
"I want Jin'er and Shuang'er to be well."
Su Yan could hear that Empress Luo's voice had become hoarse due to the discomfort in her throat, "Can you do it?"
Su Yan looked at her blankly, like an executioner on the execution ground issuing an execution order, "If you want to keep King Jin and Princess Yongchun, you can only sacrifice the Luo family. After tonight, the Luo family will be destroyed for 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' , even your status as empress will be greatly affected by this, have you... thought it over?"
Empress Luo's eyes were very red, and her voice began to choke, "There is no emperor whose road to success is not blood-stained. Behind the flowers and brocades, there must be ruthless fighting and secret fighting. If this is the only way for Jin'er to go, then Use my blood to sacrifice the flag for him." Pause, take a deep breath, "Jin'er is impulsive and irritable, and his emotions are difficult to control. I hope Su Aiqing can give more advice when assisting him in the future. Bengong I can’t thank you enough.”
"This is what I should do." Su Yan said indifferently: "Since the empress has made a choice, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, but before leaving, I still have something to say to the empress. "
"But it doesn't matter."
"I hope that only you and I will know about today's matter, and it will not be heard by a third person." This is to remind her that even He Lianjin can't tell.
Empress Luo nodded, "That's natural." Although they were discussing matters between He Lianjin and the Luo family, every word was consistent with He Lianjin's emperor's way. To put it bluntly, the two of them were conspiring to rebel, and Empress Luo came to power After so many years, how could it be possible not to know such a simple truth? Of course, the fewer people know, the safer.
"Keep this thing for your majesty." Su Yan took out a kit from his sleeve pocket, "If the situation tonight really develops in the direction I predicted, then you open it when you are desperate, but if If the situation has changed, then I hope that the empress will burn this thing when the opportunity arises, so that no one else can peep at it."
Empress Luo took the brocade bag and put it in the wide brocade sleeve, with a dignified expression, "Su Aiqing, I'm sorry for your trouble."
"Empress, please remember that the situation tonight is dangerous. If something goes wrong, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Yongchun will be put in a doomed situation by the opponent. Therefore, what to say and do at the palace banquet, I hope that the empress will adapt accordingly."
"I'll save it." Empress Luo nodded solemnly again, and watched Su Yan leave quickly.
-
When Su Yan returned to the Duke's Mansion, Yun Chuwei was waiting for him to eat, "Master Jiu, where have you been?"
Seeing her, no matter how difficult the situation is and how heavy the mood is, the smog can be easily swept away, and a gentle smile appears in an instant, "I have something to do, let's go out for a while, haven't you waited for a long time?"
"Yes!" Yun Chu pouted slightly, "Baby and I are both hungry."
Su Yan took off his cloak and handed it to Bai Tan, walked over and sat beside her, and poured her a bowl of steaming soup, "Since you're hungry, why don't you eat first?"
Yun Chuwei took the soup bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon, "Isn't it New Year's Eve today? Master Jiu is going to enter the palace tonight, so I can only have New Year's Eve dinner with you in advance during the daytime."
Speaking of entering the palace, Su Yan's eyes darkened a bit.
"It's a pity that I'm pregnant, otherwise, I would also accompany Master Jiu to the palace to celebrate the New Year." She suddenly smiled mischievously.
"Good boy." Su Yan rubbed her head, "There are too many people at the palace banquet, it's noisy and boring, you just stay at home and wait for me, if you can come back earlier, I'll take you out to watch the fireworks, okay?"
"Okay." Yun Chu nodded happily, "Jiu Ye can mean what he says, I can't just wait at home, but you are drinking fine wine at the palace banquet to see beauties, I will be angry."
"Well, you must mean what you say." He sat closer again, took the soup bowl from her hand, and fed it to her spoon by spoon. Under the thick and slender eyelashes, a pair of phoenix eyes were extremely deep.
After lunch, someone came from Su's residence. It was Xiao Sun's mother who was in front of her. She looked at Su Yan with a respectful expression, "Jiuye, grandma asked this old slave to invite you to go over to officiate."
Su Yan responded lightly, "Come right away."
It is the practice of the Su family to open the ancestral hall on New Year's Eve every year, and this year is no exception, except that Su Yan was chosen as the officiant. Last year, the old man stood up from the wheelchair and led the clansmen to walk the ceremony. This year's energy is obviously not as good. Last year, not to mention bringing the clansmen to officiate, even eating and drinking was a problem. To put it bluntly, the old man belonged to the kind of person who lived all his life and waited to die.Except for the daily meals and necessary greetings, few of the children and grandchildren in the front yard would put their energy on him, and even many of his sons were looking forward to his early death.
the reason...
Once Mrs. Su died, regardless of whether she was in Beijing or released, all the masters have been suspended. Now they are all idle at home for a few days and staring at each other. It has only been less than half a year since three years. Then Ding You's time limit can be overlapped, so that he won't be idle for too long, but if the three-year filial piety period expires, and the old man has not "died", they will have another "three years", and one three-year has already destroyed half of the Soviet Union. Family, if they come for another three years, it is hard to imagine what the Su family will be like.
In fact, it's not just the masters who are worried about this matter, but also the head of the family, Mrs. Sun and Princess Linglong of the fourth room. The eldest wife, Mrs. Sun, doesn't care much. When discussing anything with her, I am afraid that she will say "casual, it doesn't matter".
"Uncle Nine, you're here."
Xiao Sun, who had been standing at the door waiting for a long time, suddenly saw Su Yan, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put on a smile, "Has Uncle Jiu eaten?"
"It's been used." Su Yan looked into the courtyard, and there were already many clansmen waiting inside, but most of them were young, and the older ones who liked to show off. They probably would have to put on a show for a while before they would show up. The method, who makes someone old? Even the patriarch (the old man) himself has to give people three points of respect. Besides, the person who will be the officiant this year is Su Yan, and Su Yan is in the military power, and he was taken back and handed over to Mr. Qiu. Under the premise of being a soldier, even if he is forced to officiate as a "son of the eldest son" today, there are still many people who refuse to accept him.
This is the case within a big family with a lot of fighting. Today you hold 30 military power and dominate the southern border. That is the phoenix that has lost its hair. Normally, I can't do anything to you, but now I have to step on you to make up for my unbalanced psychology.
It can only be said that those old guys in the clan have good ideas, but it is a pity that the person they met was Su Yan. You are tough, but he is tougher than you. Want to take Joe in front of him?OK, you wait.He immediately asked people to extinguish all the braziers in the banquet hall, removed the firewood burning in the ground dragon, and opened all the windows. In just two cups of tea, the entire banquet hall was as cold as an underground ice cellar. They were all shivering from the cold, but Su Yan remained motionless, sitting and drinking tea calmly.
When those old guys stepped in with their hands on the shelves and their chins behind their backs, it happened that there was a strong cold wind outside, piercing into everyone's bones, the leader of the clan elder shivered, and scolded the maid beside him, "In such a cold day, why don't you burn the ground dragon and light the brazier?"
The servant girl lowered her head, her teeth were too frozen to speak.
"Uncles, please sit down." Su Yan raised his head and smiled at Yan Yan, his clear eyes clearly concealed a biting colder than the cold wind.
The elders of the clan were indeed very cold, and there was nothing to keep them warm in the house, so they could only breathe heavily and rub their hands together.
"Come here, let's have some tea." Su Yan motioned.
The maids picked up the teapot, tried their best to control the trembling hands, and poured tea for several clan elders. The first clan elder who drank the tea spit out with a "puff" and looked at Su Yan as if he was about to spit fire. "This water has been frozen, Su Yan, how dare you receive us with frozen water!"
Listen, in the past, there was a "Guo Gongye" on the left with a smile on his face, and a "Guo Gongye" on the right. Now he doesn't even bother to pretend, and just takes out the airs of the elders and scolds at will, this hairless Phoenix! , is easier to bully than a pheasant.
But what, pheasant?Even if Su Yan is a pheasant, he still has a crown on his head, "I just heard from my nephew that the auspicious time for ancestor worship this year is [-]:[-] noon. Uncles, may I ask, what time is it now?"
The clan elders all choked, now, it is more than three quarters in the afternoon, and the auspicious time has passed.Worshiping ancestors, there is still Zhengdan if the New Year's Eve is not completed, and it doesn't have to be today. Today, even if he is given a blow to him, I still don't believe that a little kid who hasn't grown all his hair dares to call them respectable clansmen. how old.
"Being late for the ancestor worship is disrespectful to the ancestors." Su Yan's expression was light and his tone was calm, but it was this strange calm that made people feel hairy involuntarily. My elders and younger generations have always known that you like to lead by example. Since today is [-] years old, the ancestors gathered here can’t bear to criticize you too much on this happy day, so I think it’s better, uncles may as well Go and kneel outside the ancestral hall for an hour to set an example for the younger generation! Lest you don’t see it with your own eyes, those ignorant Lizi will think that worshiping ancestors is just a small matter of lip service, and treat the Su family’s ancestral hall as a market. When it arrives, it will arrive at that time, and if things go on like this, wouldn’t the ancestor’s precepts and family rules become a decoration?”
Standing aside, Xiao Sun and Princess Linglong gasped together. Should it be said that they are the God of War Su Jiuye who has gone to the battlefield to count soldiers and licked blood on the tip of a knife?These few people in the hall are clan elders who dare not offend the old master easily. As a young man, how dare he speak nonsense and punish the clan elders to kneel outside the ancestral hall under the heavy snow for an hour?This courage, tsk...
"What did you say!" The clan elder who was spraying the tea glared at Su Yan angrily, "You dare to punish the elder?"
Su Yan smiled, "In front of our ancestors, you and I are nothing but fluffy children who haven't grown up."
The clan elder choked, his face was livid with anger, and the veins on his forehead were ferocious.
Su Yan laughed again, "You don't have to kneel if you don't want to. Report all of you which branch you belong to. From today onwards, we will not only branch, but also clan and clan. We have broken away from the main branch. You can play around with Joe any way you want. The younger generation will definitely not interfere." The implication is that when I get back the military power one day, none of you will be able to get the protection of the main line again.
When the elders of the clan heard this, they panicked.
In fact, they just wanted to put on airs to give themselves a sense of presence when Su Yan had no real power, so that Su Yan could know that the Su family could have what it is today, not only because of the main line, but without them, the elders of the Su family, the Su family would not be able to survive. nothing.But no one expected that Su Yan would not follow their old-fashioned ways at all. He directly used the aura of a prince to overwhelm them, and took the initiative in an instant. Want to take Joe?It's okay, if you divide the clan and clan, it's all up to you to decide how to arrange it, but there is one thing, if something happens to the offshoots you have divided in the future, don't expect the Duke of Su's Mansion to extend it. Half a helping hand.
threaten!This is a naked threat!
But what can be done, even if the threat is successful, no matter how senior they are, they are only relative to the clan. They are nothing but the Su family. Don't expect this Duke of the State to come to the top of the sky.
One by one, they swallowed the old blood with their necks stuck, and after coldly snorting, they really went to kneel outside the ancestral hall.
Xiao Sun was so shocked that she couldn't recover, she stared at Su Yan in a daze, "Ninth Uncle, clan elders..."
"One hour, less than a quarter of an hour, they are not allowed to get up." Su Yan stood up, said a word with a stern face, and left.
Xiao Sun followed behind and shouted, "Uncle Jiu, you haven't worshiped your ancestors yet!"
"tomorrow."
Su Yan didn't look back, and he didn't feel happy because he punished those clan elders, but became more and more dignified.
Tonight's palace banquet is destined to be full of blood.
-
Before nightfall, Su Yan changed into his official uniform and bid farewell to Yun Chuwei and got on his horse.
"Jiuye should come back sooner. You said you would take me to watch the fireworks." Yun Chuwei's watery eyes were full of hope. It's been a long time since I went out romantically with Jiuye. The fireworks on New Year's Eve It was very beautiful to think about it, she had already started looking forward to this man before he entered the palace.
"Wei Wei." Su Yan's voice was hoarse on horseback.
"Ok?"
"Wear more, don't freeze." He thought for a while, and swallowed those unlucky words. Now that he is ready, he will only win and not lose. There are not so many ifs, he will definitely Come back from the palace without incident, and then take her and the baby to watch the most beautiful fireworks.
"Yeah." She nodded, smiled and waved, "Wait for you!"
Su Yan turned away, grabbed the reins tightly, and quickly rode his horse and disappeared at the end of the long street.
Yun Chuwei's eyes fell on the direction where he had long since disappeared, and suddenly reached out to caress his chest, "Why do you feel a little restless?"
Aunt Han said: "Madam may be waiting for Master Jiu not to have a good rest at noon, or go back and take a nap for a while. It's still early before the palace banquet ends. Madam has had enough rest in advance. Wait for Master Jiu to come back and bring you You won’t feel sleepy while watching fireworks.”
Yun Chuwei made sense after thinking about it, "Okay."
