My Master Jinyiwei
Chapter 102
Chapter 102
There are many guards inside and outside the imperial city of Yejing, and the access control is strict.The guards include 20 guards including Bannerman, Jinwu, and Habayashi, and hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops stationed in the capital, setting up "upper 26 guards".This huge palace security organization is responsible for the safety of the imperial city, patrolling and inspecting each other.
Guards are set up around the walls of Miyagi and around the walls, and they are on duty every night. There are more than 10 rooms in total, each room is guarded by [-] soldiers, and copper bells are set up as signals.When Yejing was sleeping, the bronze bells rang, startling the palace bell.The bell rang, like waves, swaying to the surrounding layer by layer.The entire Yejing has entered the highest state of alert.
Under such circumstances, the prince forced the palace.When some guards colluded with the crown prince and turned against each other, some guards had no time to react in the future, and the army would always approach the city and start a massacre.The prince led people into the palace at night and ordered the emperor to abdicate.
Jin Yiwei was aware of this at the first time, the highest level of defense in the palace had been activated, and the Shangzhi guards who were responsible for the palace guards directly closed the palace gates, isolating the inside and outside.And outside the palace, killings also began wantonly.Especially the aristocratic families, famous families, and upstarts are all in the top positions for the rebels to crusade.
"..." In the main hall of Shen's residence, Liu Ling stood up and asked someone to take Jin Yiwei to meet Shen Yan in the backyard.In the bright and dark candlelight, she looked at Xu Shijin who was sitting upright.From the very beginning, when the servants came to report, Miss Xu had a calm expression, even a slight smile.Obviously, all of this was in her expectation, and things unfolded as scheduled, which made her very happy.
Xu Shijin tilted his head slightly, and smiled softly, "A Ling, why are you looking at me like this? What is more important now, shouldn't it be to close the gate of your house and guard the entire line of guards to prevent the rebels from attacking?"
"Master Shen will be responsible, I don't care about it." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin paused, nodded, and sighed, "Yes, you married a good husband."
Liu Ling walked towards Xu Shijin with a calm face, "Xiao Jin, don't be sloppy with me. Others don't understand you, so I don't understand you? It's just that the palace changed tonight, and it's just that you and Shen Yu came to my house. What happened through your hands, There is absolutely no coincidence. You can even calculate the palace change, and there are things you didn't expect. So, what are you going to do?"
Xu Shijin smiled, and said softly, "What? Are you afraid that I will frame you and Mr. Shen?"
Liu Ling didn't speak.
The smile on Xu Shijin's face faded, and he looked at her tenderly and blankly, as if he had noticed something, "Can't you be kidding me? You look like you are getting worse? I'm sorry, the matter of Lu Mingshan was calculated by me In the end, I didn't expect to bring you and Mr. Shen such a disaster. It's normal if you blame me. Who told me to even you..."
"Xu Shijin, do you need to say these false words between you and me?" Liu Ling said indifferently, "Have I ever blamed you? Don't you know? Xiaojin, you are human, don't treat yourself as a God, how much can you count the myriad phenomena in the world?"
Rebuked by her, Xu Shijin was taken aback for a moment, slightly surprised.It was rare for Ah Ling to say these words to her.Ah Ling likes trouble, but she doesn't like nonsense.She rarely persuades herself, and now...
Xu Shijin's expression was blank for a moment. She turned her head and watched Qinghui floating on the open space in the courtyard.She dazed for a while, and then slowly said, "I've been planning and thinking, just waiting for tonight, so that the prince will force the palace. The prince has long been dissatisfied with His Majesty for not abdicating the throne for many years, and he has long wanted to take the throne. He discussed it with me several times before. , he wants to control this time. Of course I help him... Now, the internal and external forces, his ambition and sense of crisis, forced him to find the best time. If the force is successful, he will be the emperor. And what we want , is his motive. Once he is forced into the palace, he will be treason. If he is convicted of treason, he will definitely die."
"Originally, the prince has been preparing for many years, and forcing the palace is a [-]-[-] split. But if His Majesty has prepared in advance, he will lose."
"I know the weaknesses of the prince's subordinates, and I know that there are many omissions in the net he planned. If I make use of it and guide it, things will of course go as I expected."
"You are my good friend, and the cooperation with Mr. Shen was very pleasant. Of course, I will give it to Mr. Shen for the merit of protecting the dragon." Xu Shijin smiled, "Actually, this is not a gift from me to Mr. Shen. With his political sensitivity, he naturally knows what is more beneficial to you. I guess at this moment, after the palace gate is sealed off, the entire city of Yejing, and the Jinyiwei guards have been dispatched to fight the rebels. Of course, this is Mr. Shen the meaning of."
"But if that's the case, there's no need for you to appear here." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin nodded, and the smile in his eyes faded even further.She spoke more slowly, which proved her inner struggle and uncertainty, "In a way, I also took advantage of Shen Xiaoyu. He wanted to find a doctor for me, and I just wanted to see you. Just follow him, Let him bring me into the mansion, and without going through the normal procedures, he can meet you and your husband."
Xu Shijin stood up, went to Liu Ling's front, bowed his knees, and bowed, "I hope that by taking this opportunity, Shen Yu can return to Shen's house in a fair and honest manner, and return to the place where he should stand."
Liu Ling's eyes tightened, staring at Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin hesitated and contradicted before, but when she made up her mind, she smiled slightly and waited for Liu Ling's reply.
Ms. Xu has always acted concurrently in several lines.She doesn't calculate the most accurate answer for every line.She likes to open and close, master big data, and she doesn't care too much about the details.There must be more than one purpose behind what Ms. Xu did.One failed, and there was another to be filled.As long as one goal can be achieved, she is considered the beneficiary.
In the matter of the crown prince forcing the palace, Xu Shijin not only wanted to put the crown prince to death, but she also wanted to wash off the stains on Shen Yu's body, return to the Shen family, and be that noble son of a famous family, elegant and elegant.
"Shen Yu was demoted from Beijing before because of prison robbery. But prison robbery should be a capital crime, and His Majesty only let him go out of Beijing. I thought, His Majesty is still waiting to use him, and there is still some value in his hands that has not been dug out. And Shen Yu Yu traveled together, and I tested Shen Yu several times, and learned that the line in his hand was related to the prince. Jin Yiwei has been investigating the prince for many years, and the one who knows the most about things, big and small, must be Shen Yu who is fully responsible. The prince Once something happens, it will be when his line comes to the surface. Although it has been handed over, the person in Jinyiwei who knows best must be Shen Yu. It doesn’t matter if he is not in Beijing, another Jinyiwei will take over. But if Shen Yu is in Yejing, then His Majesty must hope that he will come forward in person to make everything known to the world."
"Shen Yu is not a useless son. His uncle and aunt are waiting for him. As long as he is in Yejing, the Shen family will find a way to make him fall into His Majesty's eyes again. Prison robbery is a serious crime, but now the Lu family is being investigated. Once the prince falls, the prince will also be killed." Check. What if it turns out that the death of the Seventh Prince was not due to me, but the prince and the Lu family conspired together? What if it turns out that I shouldn’t have died at all? But in the eyes of the powerful, I’m already dead! Then the only thing left is Shen Yu. He who has made great contributions will redeem his crimes, and for the sake of compensation, he will return to the famous family in Yejing. Return to his previous position."
"But what if he doesn't want to?" Liu Ling asked.
Xu Shijin said slowly, "Why is he unwilling? His surname is Shen, and he is the eldest son of the Shen family. He has parents and brothers, and he has family responsibilities. How could he not be willing?" She looked at the yard and said quietly, " Master Shen has already seen Shen Yu. Shen Yu is in Yejing, but he has no other reason to go back to the Shen family. But with Master Shen, these reasons can be constructed. As long as Master Shen agrees to help, Shen Yu will go back to his original seat."
"Can't he not want to?"
Xu Shijin chuckled, "A Ling, you really don't understand politics. How could he not want to? Do you think that the forced palace is just a problem for His Majesty? The prince forced the palace, just kill His Majesty? As long as you get the decree of abdication and a yellow robe on your body." They are closely related. Before this big crisis, none of the existing beneficiary groups could get away with it. This is a crisis for the whole of Yejing. The Shen family is also in crisis... To save the Shen family, to protect Shen Home, if given this opportunity, Shen Yu will go back."
Liu Ling looked at Xu Shijin's back.
Her friend is ambitious.For the sake of the two men, the entire Yejing city will be turbulent.
A man she wants dead;
A man, she wants him to live.
Just out of selfishness, she wants to overthrow everything that exists.
This is a stunning gamble.
Like an addict, Xu Shijin not only gambled by himself, but also politely invited everyone to join her in the game.
The Xu family has entered the game.
The Shen family has also entered the game.
The Lu family was forced into the game.
Most of the aristocratic families in Yejing were involved.
This shocking gamble, if you win, you can get everything you expect; if you lose, you will destroy everything.
In order to fight for a way out, the Xu family gritted their teeth and participated in Xu Shijin's plan.
But they all thought that Xu Shijin hated the prince, and she planned everything to make the prince die.Everyone sighed at her cruelty and intelligence, and thought to themselves, no one can offend this woman if they offend anyone.But who would have thought that she came here with a heart of revenge, but wanted to do something for another man.
Under her cold iron heart, there is an unknown tenderness.Stepping on the bones, she gave the golden crown to a person.Quietly, no one noticed.Even when it happened, it looked like a coincidence.But this coincidence made her work hard and sleepless every night, calculating it over and over again, lest there be any omissions.
She is ruthless and passionate.
Who understands what she means?
Liu Ling walked behind Xu Shijin and asked in a low voice, "Okay, I promise to help you. But what do you do? He goes back to where he should go, how about you? Do you want to come back too?"
Even if Xu Shijin's charges are cleared, it's still the same sentence, she has no more meritorious deeds, and she can't come back to Yejing.But what is extremely difficult for others, it is not so difficult for Xu Shijin.Ms. Xu has an exquisite heart. What she wants to do, most of the time, she can achieve what she wants.After all, she is smart.
Liu Ling gradually understood what Shen Yan had said to her. There are very few problems in the world to choose between two.If you have to choose, in most cases, it is not "have to", but "I want to".
When it fell on Xu Shijin, it was—"No, I don't want to come back. I don't want to go back to Yejing, and I don't want to be a girl from the Xu family. I'm like this, it's fine.”
Liu Ling was stunned, and anger gradually grew in her eyes, "You..."
Xu Shijin laughed softly, "A Ling, don't be angry with me for not fighting. I have no way to fight. I am close to exhaustion, and I know best myself. I can't live anymore, what should I do?" Delay others again? I don't have such a thick skin, I always owe others."
Liu Ling turned pale.
She stood in front of the bright hall with her best friend, and talked a lot that night.
There were endless killings in the city of Yejing, the outcome was unknown, blood flowed like rivers, and everyone was in danger.In the cool night breeze, Xu Xu was like a dream, but Liu Ling and Xu Shijin stood in front of the quiet hall, talking slowly.
She stood behind, looking at Xu Shijin's thin back.Under the moonlight, lonely, as if stepping on the moon at any time.The side face is quiet and soft, like a veil.The wind blows and the leaves fall, and their clothes flutter in the wind.A maid came to report, "Princess, Mr. Shen told you that Mr. Shen has left with Jin Yiwei. Mr. Shen left a few words."
Liu Ling said, "Say."
The maid replied, "Master Shen said, please Miss Xu stay at the mansion to recuperate from illness, don't go out, he has other important things to do. When he finishes his work, he will come pick up Miss Xu. Please don't leave, Miss Xu."
Liu Ling was taken aback for a moment, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Xu Shijin smiled faintly at Liu Ling, probably only she knew the bitterness in that smile.She said, "Look, Ah Ling, I guessed it all. I can count everything, but I can't count myself alone. There is really no way."
Xu Shijin lived in the Shen residence.
They said it was to see a doctor, but the danger in Yejing was incomprehensible, and there was no imperial doctor who could leave the palace.
These three days were the most depressing three days in Ye capital.Everyone closed their doors, and they could hear crying and begging for mercy outside, as well as the sound of weapons being handed over.Liu Ling met Shen Yan, and she felt relieved when she learned that he didn't plan to go out.The guards in the mansion are so strict that the rebels are still invincible.For most of these three days, Liu Ling talked with Xu Shijin.
When Xu Shijin fell asleep one day, Liu Ling couldn't call her, and felt anxious.There is also a doctor in their house, but after the doctor took Miss Xu's pulse, he wondered that her pulsation was weird, not like a stranger at all.
"Princess, this girl is obviously dead." The doctor said the same thing after examining her several times.
Liu Ling put her hand under Xu Shijin's nose, but she didn't breathe.
She felt heavy when she thought of what Xu Shijin had told her about her illness.Did he just fall asleep, or did he really die in his sleep?
Liu Ling was at a loss.
Shen Yan heard that his wife was sitting on the steps of the guest room in a daze, so she went to have a look.In the cold night, Liu Ling sat there alone, very pitiful.Seeing him, his eyes were still empty.
Shen Yan sighed, sat down beside her, and asked, "What do you want to do? Inform Shen Yu and invite him over?"
It's such a mess outside, what can I do to please.
Besides... Liu Ling said in a low voice, "Life and death are Xiaojin's own ideas. Why should we interfere with her decision? Besides, I don't believe she will die. I haven't heard the news of the prince's death yet. How can Xiao Jin be willing not to wake up again?"
Shen Yan touched her face and felt the sadness in her heart.Liu Ling sniffed, turned around and hugged Shen Yan, and felt better.
Shen Yan said, "Do you still remember the first time you mentioned Miss Xu to me?"
Liu Ling followed his ideas and thought about it.Before going to Ningzhou, Jin Yiwei mentioned Xu Shijin, and Liu Ling said that he was her good friend.There was no quarrel or misunderstanding between them. Although they didn't have much contact with each other, they were indeed friends.
Shen Yan said, "I forgot about you at that time. It was when Miss Xu was mentioned that I vaguely remembered what happened between her and Shen Yu back then. You were there. After that, I slowly remembered more about you. At that time, I thought, you and Ms. Xu really don’t look like good friends. Ms. Xu seems to be treating you nicely, but she is actually using you. I’m curious, to what extent, you will notice and be with her against each other."
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized.It turned out that at that time, Shen Yan knew that Xu Shijin was using her to deal with the Lu family.She gave Shen Yan a hard look, because at the beginning, Shen Yan didn't show it at all.He acted like he didn't know about it.
Liu Ling smiled, "Yeah, these years, I have often thought, how can I be friends with her? When will she bite me in the back and push me into a catastrophe?"
Shen Yan didn't speak.
Liu Ling also didn't speak for a long time.
For many years, Liu Ling yearned for a bright existence like Shen Yan, but a dark figure like Xu Shijin also accompanied her.If possible, she would give up everything and throw herself into Shen Yan's embrace without hesitation, to embrace those beautiful things.But her heart, in the abyss, has been looking at Xu Shijin from afar, living together and growing together.
They looked at each other and were inseparable for life.
Liu Ling's eyes were misty, "But I know she won't. She is my good friend. Even if you bully me, she won't hurt me. One day you don't want me, Xiaojin will always stand by my side .I love her."
Shen Yan was speechless, only felt a toothache in response to his wife's confession to another girl.He smiled softly, rubbed Liu Ling into his arms, and comforted her, "Your lover will wake up."
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment: her lover?who?Isn't Shen Yan hugging herself?
It took her a while to realize that Shen Yan was talking about Xu Shijin.
Liu Ling chuckled, hugged him, and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Shen Yan said in a long voice, "I can't say I'm jealous, I can only say that I figured out a truth."
"what?"
"As your husband, it turns out that I not only need to guard against men, but women too."
"..."
His teasing made Liu Ling feel better.
She was in a better mood, and on the third day, Xu Shijin woke up.As soon as Miss Xu woke up, she heard the good news.Yejing is still the Yejing she is familiar with, the crown prince has failed in transformation and has been imprisoned.
This is the news I got this morning.
In the afternoon, more news came out.During those three days, many court officials died.Half of the people in the imperial court were injured or died because of this.It can be seen that the rebels originally wanted to bloodbath Yejing.Helplessly, His Majesty had already made preparations. There were Imperial Guards, Jin Yiwei and others in the city to support them. The Jingying Army outside the city came back to help when they had time.The prince didn't wait for the best time, and the matter had already been revealed.
The whole Lu family was besieged and imprisoned.
The Xu family became the biggest hero in this palace change. The head of the Xu family died in order to save him, causing the world to sigh.
The Shen family and other aristocratic families also suffered more or less losses in this great change, but after the losses, they survived and must gain.
At night, the imperial decree has been issued.Disappointed and furious, His Majesty deposed the crown prince as a commoner and executed him.
So far, this chaos has achieved what Xu Shijin hoped most.Hearing the word "Fu Zhu", her expression shook slightly, and she quickly calmed down.
"That's great." She smiled when she met Liu Ling who cared about her.
Xu Shijin said, "The next step is what Shen Yu has to do."
Yes, the crown prince fell, and the Lu family fell.Shen Yu, who was in charge of these things before, happened to be in Yejing, and if he had a chance, he would help Xu Shijin clear up his grievances.He hoped to restore Xu Shijin's innocence, so that Xu Shijin could find a chance to return to Yejing, and come into everyone's sight with integrity.
So he continued to stay in the Shen family.
He didn't know that Xu Shijin didn't want to go back to Yejing at all.
Xu Shijin said that the crown prince was dead, she didn't need to stay at Liu Ling and Shen Yan's house, she planned to leave.Liu Ling forced her to stay for a day, and asked the palace doctor to give her a diagnosis to see what was going on with her body.
When the imperial physician in the palace came to Shen's residence for consultation again, he saw Xu Shijin.As Xu Shijin expected, her body was deteriorating day by day.It is caused by poison.The imperial doctor became interested and asked Xu Shijin what kind of poison he wanted to study.He even invited Xu Shijin back home to study her illness.
Xu Shijin refused, she didn't want to stay in Yejing.
She told Liu Ling, "I used to be in Yejing, and I was very tired of calculating and calculating. After leaving Yejing, I realized that there are many more interesting things in the world. I don't have much life left, and I don't want to waste time In Yejing. I also want to change to a different way of life. But if I stay in Yejing, I know I have to go back to my old life.”
The imperial physician was very regretful. At Liu Ling's request, coupled with his own pursuit of medical skills, he introduced Xu Shijin to a folk genius doctor and said, "That is my old friend who specializes in all kinds of strange poisons. Back then When he applied for the imperial hospital, he offended others because of his straightforward temper. The imperial hospital said that his medical skills were gloomy, so he kept him instead of using him. He had arrogance, saying that the imperial hospital would not use him, and that he would never enter Yejing in his life. Even if His Majesty invited him personally, he would not Came to Yejing."
Xu Shijin smiled, "This is an interesting person."
The imperial physician stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course, His Majesty can't be idle and invite a country doctor to come to Yejing. No matter how good his medical skills are, in His Majesty's eyes, he can't reach that level. But girl, you can try it. I think your words are interesting, although he has a bad temper, maybe you can persuade him to help you see the poison in your body?"
"Thank you." Xu Shijin said.
After getting the clue, Xu Shijin proposed to leave the Shen residence and leave on his own.Liu Ling looked hesitant, still unwilling.
Xu Shijin said, "A Ling, what are you afraid of? Don't you understand what kind of person I am? But if there is a glimmer of hope, I will not seek death. I will try my best to see a doctor for the rest of my life, and I hope I can return to Ye That day in Beijing. I hope we will meet again one day."
"I'll be waiting for you in Yejing." Liu Ling said, "I'll be waiting for you forever. Waiting for the day you come back."
She spoke calmly and indifferently, and Xu Shijin looked at her with radiant eyes that seemed to fluctuate.
Xu Shijin turned and left. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and looked at Liu Ling in front of the mansion.She bowed her head and said softly, "A Ling, I wish you a happy life and a life of worry-free life."
This is her greatest blessing to Liu Ling.The better Liu Ling lives, the happier she will be.
It is a good thing if one of them can have a happy ending.
Of course, the matter of the prince's death will not be taken to the vegetable market for the common people to watch together like when he was killed in autumn.Xu Shijin got the news from the Xu family.She did not leave Yejing immediately as she told Liu Ling, but stayed here.She waited to see the prince die.
She lived in a restaurant in Yejing, more or less, listening to reports from the Xu family.She has not broken contact with the Xu family yet, and the news reaches her day by day. She learned that Shen Yu has re-entered the court and helped her rehabilitate and help the Xu family rehabilitate.The Xu family asked her if she wanted to come back?
Xu Shijin smiled and refused.
The new patriarch personally wrote a letter, "Xiao Jin, the death of your parents was done by the family. Over the years, we have seen more and more mistakes. But you must know that the family has never given up on you, and has never given up on you. I have never abandoned you. During these years in Yejing, the Xu family has secretly helped you block many swords. The family treats you the same as it treats other people. I know you hate us for executing your parents back then It's too much, but we have to do it. If you were in that position, you would do the same. The Xu family never felt that they made a mistake, but if you think we are wrong, you should come back and prove us wrong. Xiao Jin, your surname is Xu, and the Xu family has never ignored you. You can go home anytime."
Xu Shijin read the letter silently without making a sound.
She didn't blame the Xu family for a long time.
The older she gets, the more she understands this truth.Her mother died, her father died too, and she was still suspected by her family when she was young.I couldn't accept it when I was young, but when I grew up, I felt more and more that it was nothing.She doesn't blame the Xu family, but she can't forgive the Xu family either.There should have been a better solution to the matter, but the Xu family chose the most brutal way to kill her parents.
Since she was a child, she has always harbored a vague hatred for the Xu family.
Later, I didn't hate it anymore, but I didn't love it either.
But now, what happened to the Xu family, in Xu Shijin's heart, was even more unruly.
The building was full of wind and rain, she was sitting in the inn, listening to the news from all directions.For example, the eldest son of the Shen family has endured humiliation for many years, but he has a plan to expose the hypocrisy of the prince; for example, the girl from the Xu family who killed the prince last year was wronged, and this is normal. I heard that the Xu family The girl has also been a female official before the imperial court, how could she murder the prince; for example, the Lu family is really hateful, colluding with the criminal prince, and now they are killing everyone, which can be regarded as a great joy; another example, the Tang family is actively contacting the Shen family and wants to get married. I heard that the girl of the Tang family Being childhood sweethearts with the eldest son of the Shen family, it's a match made in heaven...
The common people are most interested in gossip. When talking about the childhood sweethearts of Miss Tang and the eldest son of the Shen family, they describe it vividly, as if they saw it with their own eyes.
Quietly thinking about it, there are so many childhood sweethearts in this world.But how many people can come together?
As the spring rain continued, Xu Shijin got the last note.
A quarter of an hour ago, the crown prince had been put to death.Xiao Jin, before he died, he had something to ask you.
Xu Shijin opened the window of the inn and looked in the direction of the palace.The spring rain was pattering, flying in obliquely.In the foggy world, Xu Shijin looked in the direction of the palace, as if he saw her when she was young, and it was the first time she saw a high-spirited young man in the Golden Luan Palace.
He walked into the palace, his eyes were soft, and to her, it looked like spring water rippling.
Xu Shijin when he was a girl stood behind His Majesty, looking at the young Liu Wang curiously and appreciatively.His eyebrows are long and distant, his eyes are black and blue, his nose is straight and straight, and his lips are full and bright red.As a young man, he was as thin as a bamboo, and he talked eloquently in front of his father.With His Majesty's approval, he handed over the notebook.
The young girl Xu Shijin walked down several steps and took the booklet from him.At that time, she had only entered the palace not long ago, and it was the first time she went to court with His Majesty, so she was a little timid.Her wide and long sleeves accidentally brushed against his hand, and the golden thread on the cuff swayed in his hand.His hands were slender and well-proportioned. Xu Shijin had never seen such beautiful hands.
Her indecency offended him.His Royal Highness's eyes were half raised, and he only smiled slightly, but he didn't make any trouble.
At that time Xu Shijin thought, Your Highness is really a good person.
Later she gradually realized that it was a beautiful misunderstanding.He's not a nice guy, he just happens to not care.
But Liu Wang satisfied all Xu Shijin's imagination of his lover when he was a girl.
He must have a clear and definite determination of the future, he must have ambitions, he must not let everything go her way, he must be strong, ambitious, and...
All the conditions contrary to Shen Yu's are Xu Shijin's requirements imposed on his lover.
Maybe she doesn't love Liu Wang, she just loves such a character drawn out of the box.But Liu Wang was just satisfied, Xu Shijin when he was a girl put all his love on Liu Wang.
She loves Liu Wang wholeheartedly.
He blamed Liu Wang wholeheartedly.
In the end, she wholeheartedly wanted to kill Liu Wang.
Liu Wang failed to force the palace, and he was locked in a deserted small courtyard, waiting to die at any time.Before he died, he thought through all the causes and effects.The servant brought the poisoned wine to him, and he asked someone to bring Xu Shijin a sentence, "Xiao Jin, is it me or Shen Yu that you love? Did you love him from the very beginning, and you never loved him?" loved me?"
At the end of everything, he didn't ask her anything else, he didn't blame her for anything else, but he was still worried about it, and he couldn't forgive him alone.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Xu Shijin fell to the ground and supported his forehead.
She handed the letter to the candlestick, and in the breeze and drizzle, she saw that the letter paper was swallowed up by the flames little by little.She murmured, "Who do I love? What's the point of asking this."
She held up an umbrella, left the inn, and walked onto the streets of Yejing.
It's all over now.
Her grievances and expectations have reached the final stage.
But not much happiness.
My heart is empty, standing on this street, I feel that I have nowhere to go.
There was fog on the street, and everyone took shelter from the rain, passing by Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin just walked slowly between them.The colorful flags were drenched by the rain, there were shadows of guests in the windows at the top of the building, and the reflections of people in the puddles on the ground were twists and turns, not a portrait.
Everyone has their own life and their own place to belong.Only she didn't.
Xu Shijin walked in the rain.
It suddenly occurred to me that in the rain last year, there was a nobleman waving to her upstairs, asking her to tell her a story.
It seems like it happened in my previous life, so far away.
She walked aimlessly and without bounds, thinking that she would leave Beijing tomorrow.There is no need to stay here.
I thought about many things along the way, but I didn't seem to think about anything.Her life, her short life, seemed like a joke.
The sky gradually darkened, and the rain seemed to be less.The lights of thousands of households lit up in front of Xu Shijin's eyes.She watched intently, wondering how long ago, if she had these too.
After taking another step, someone bumped up from behind, and a little flower seller hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Xu Shijin stepped aside without saying a word.Her words are clever, and she can instantly calm the little girl's panic.But at this moment, the number of people on the street gradually increased. She looked at the little girl squatting at her feet picking flowers, and she was very tired, so tired that she didn't want to say a word.
She turned around and continued on her way.
Once again, someone bumped into him from behind.
This time, her wrist was pulled.
Xu Shijin froze.
She stood at the head of the bridge, under the bridge, there were thousands of lights and frolicking in the street.She held an umbrella, and the wind and rain passed by her.The other hand was held by the person behind him.The wind blew the hair around her ears, passing the breath of the person behind her.
The two stood back and forth, standing quietly for a while, neither of them said a word.
After a while, Xu Shijin turned sideways and turned around slowly.The umbrella in her hand was lifted up little by little, from the collar to the chin to the eyebrows, the young man's face was reflected in her eyes.
The lights fell on the river under the bridge and fell into the eyes of the young man.Dim light and dark, shaking and falling.
Xu Shijin was fascinated.
Shen Yu pulled her wrist without a trace of a smile on his face.He asked coldly, "I'm here, aren't you happy?"
Xu Shijin raised the umbrella to block the rain on his hair.
Her eyes are quiet, like the shadow of a lamp in the river.The water is swaying and swaying, deep and shallow, very gentle.
An umbrella was propped over the heads of the two of them.Crowds are walking around, the rain is gone, the wind is also gone, the air is slightly cool, bringing the excitement of the night market.Under the umbrella, the pale girl raised her eyes and said quietly, "Since you see a gentleman, don't you like Yunhu?"
I'm here, aren't you happy?
After seeing a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy?
How can I be unhappy that you are here?
You are like a tear, slipping from my heart.
I waited quietly and watched quietly.How can I be unhappy?
All kinds of resentment and resentment, all of which disappeared from Shen Yu's eyes as soon as she said this.
He suddenly stepped forward and took her into his arms.
He said, "I thought you were gone."
"Yejing is so small, yet so big. I want to find someone, and it's extremely difficult. Xiaojin, you can't do this."
Xu Shijin said, "Let's go to the theater."
She smiled, "Just like when I was a child."
"Shen Xiaoyu, play with me for a while."
"……it is good."
(End of this chapter)
There are many guards inside and outside the imperial city of Yejing, and the access control is strict.The guards include 20 guards including Bannerman, Jinwu, and Habayashi, and hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops stationed in the capital, setting up "upper 26 guards".This huge palace security organization is responsible for the safety of the imperial city, patrolling and inspecting each other.
Guards are set up around the walls of Miyagi and around the walls, and they are on duty every night. There are more than 10 rooms in total, each room is guarded by [-] soldiers, and copper bells are set up as signals.When Yejing was sleeping, the bronze bells rang, startling the palace bell.The bell rang, like waves, swaying to the surrounding layer by layer.The entire Yejing has entered the highest state of alert.
Under such circumstances, the prince forced the palace.When some guards colluded with the crown prince and turned against each other, some guards had no time to react in the future, and the army would always approach the city and start a massacre.The prince led people into the palace at night and ordered the emperor to abdicate.
Jin Yiwei was aware of this at the first time, the highest level of defense in the palace had been activated, and the Shangzhi guards who were responsible for the palace guards directly closed the palace gates, isolating the inside and outside.And outside the palace, killings also began wantonly.Especially the aristocratic families, famous families, and upstarts are all in the top positions for the rebels to crusade.
"..." In the main hall of Shen's residence, Liu Ling stood up and asked someone to take Jin Yiwei to meet Shen Yan in the backyard.In the bright and dark candlelight, she looked at Xu Shijin who was sitting upright.From the very beginning, when the servants came to report, Miss Xu had a calm expression, even a slight smile.Obviously, all of this was in her expectation, and things unfolded as scheduled, which made her very happy.
Xu Shijin tilted his head slightly, and smiled softly, "A Ling, why are you looking at me like this? What is more important now, shouldn't it be to close the gate of your house and guard the entire line of guards to prevent the rebels from attacking?"
"Master Shen will be responsible, I don't care about it." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin paused, nodded, and sighed, "Yes, you married a good husband."
Liu Ling walked towards Xu Shijin with a calm face, "Xiao Jin, don't be sloppy with me. Others don't understand you, so I don't understand you? It's just that the palace changed tonight, and it's just that you and Shen Yu came to my house. What happened through your hands, There is absolutely no coincidence. You can even calculate the palace change, and there are things you didn't expect. So, what are you going to do?"
Xu Shijin smiled, and said softly, "What? Are you afraid that I will frame you and Mr. Shen?"
Liu Ling didn't speak.
The smile on Xu Shijin's face faded, and he looked at her tenderly and blankly, as if he had noticed something, "Can't you be kidding me? You look like you are getting worse? I'm sorry, the matter of Lu Mingshan was calculated by me In the end, I didn't expect to bring you and Mr. Shen such a disaster. It's normal if you blame me. Who told me to even you..."
"Xu Shijin, do you need to say these false words between you and me?" Liu Ling said indifferently, "Have I ever blamed you? Don't you know? Xiaojin, you are human, don't treat yourself as a God, how much can you count the myriad phenomena in the world?"
Rebuked by her, Xu Shijin was taken aback for a moment, slightly surprised.It was rare for Ah Ling to say these words to her.Ah Ling likes trouble, but she doesn't like nonsense.She rarely persuades herself, and now...
Xu Shijin's expression was blank for a moment. She turned her head and watched Qinghui floating on the open space in the courtyard.She dazed for a while, and then slowly said, "I've been planning and thinking, just waiting for tonight, so that the prince will force the palace. The prince has long been dissatisfied with His Majesty for not abdicating the throne for many years, and he has long wanted to take the throne. He discussed it with me several times before. , he wants to control this time. Of course I help him... Now, the internal and external forces, his ambition and sense of crisis, forced him to find the best time. If the force is successful, he will be the emperor. And what we want , is his motive. Once he is forced into the palace, he will be treason. If he is convicted of treason, he will definitely die."
"Originally, the prince has been preparing for many years, and forcing the palace is a [-]-[-] split. But if His Majesty has prepared in advance, he will lose."
"I know the weaknesses of the prince's subordinates, and I know that there are many omissions in the net he planned. If I make use of it and guide it, things will of course go as I expected."
"You are my good friend, and the cooperation with Mr. Shen was very pleasant. Of course, I will give it to Mr. Shen for the merit of protecting the dragon." Xu Shijin smiled, "Actually, this is not a gift from me to Mr. Shen. With his political sensitivity, he naturally knows what is more beneficial to you. I guess at this moment, after the palace gate is sealed off, the entire city of Yejing, and the Jinyiwei guards have been dispatched to fight the rebels. Of course, this is Mr. Shen the meaning of."
"But if that's the case, there's no need for you to appear here." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin nodded, and the smile in his eyes faded even further.She spoke more slowly, which proved her inner struggle and uncertainty, "In a way, I also took advantage of Shen Xiaoyu. He wanted to find a doctor for me, and I just wanted to see you. Just follow him, Let him bring me into the mansion, and without going through the normal procedures, he can meet you and your husband."
Xu Shijin stood up, went to Liu Ling's front, bowed his knees, and bowed, "I hope that by taking this opportunity, Shen Yu can return to Shen's house in a fair and honest manner, and return to the place where he should stand."
Liu Ling's eyes tightened, staring at Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin hesitated and contradicted before, but when she made up her mind, she smiled slightly and waited for Liu Ling's reply.
Ms. Xu has always acted concurrently in several lines.She doesn't calculate the most accurate answer for every line.She likes to open and close, master big data, and she doesn't care too much about the details.There must be more than one purpose behind what Ms. Xu did.One failed, and there was another to be filled.As long as one goal can be achieved, she is considered the beneficiary.
In the matter of the crown prince forcing the palace, Xu Shijin not only wanted to put the crown prince to death, but she also wanted to wash off the stains on Shen Yu's body, return to the Shen family, and be that noble son of a famous family, elegant and elegant.
"Shen Yu was demoted from Beijing before because of prison robbery. But prison robbery should be a capital crime, and His Majesty only let him go out of Beijing. I thought, His Majesty is still waiting to use him, and there is still some value in his hands that has not been dug out. And Shen Yu Yu traveled together, and I tested Shen Yu several times, and learned that the line in his hand was related to the prince. Jin Yiwei has been investigating the prince for many years, and the one who knows the most about things, big and small, must be Shen Yu who is fully responsible. The prince Once something happens, it will be when his line comes to the surface. Although it has been handed over, the person in Jinyiwei who knows best must be Shen Yu. It doesn’t matter if he is not in Beijing, another Jinyiwei will take over. But if Shen Yu is in Yejing, then His Majesty must hope that he will come forward in person to make everything known to the world."
"Shen Yu is not a useless son. His uncle and aunt are waiting for him. As long as he is in Yejing, the Shen family will find a way to make him fall into His Majesty's eyes again. Prison robbery is a serious crime, but now the Lu family is being investigated. Once the prince falls, the prince will also be killed." Check. What if it turns out that the death of the Seventh Prince was not due to me, but the prince and the Lu family conspired together? What if it turns out that I shouldn’t have died at all? But in the eyes of the powerful, I’m already dead! Then the only thing left is Shen Yu. He who has made great contributions will redeem his crimes, and for the sake of compensation, he will return to the famous family in Yejing. Return to his previous position."
"But what if he doesn't want to?" Liu Ling asked.
Xu Shijin said slowly, "Why is he unwilling? His surname is Shen, and he is the eldest son of the Shen family. He has parents and brothers, and he has family responsibilities. How could he not be willing?" She looked at the yard and said quietly, " Master Shen has already seen Shen Yu. Shen Yu is in Yejing, but he has no other reason to go back to the Shen family. But with Master Shen, these reasons can be constructed. As long as Master Shen agrees to help, Shen Yu will go back to his original seat."
"Can't he not want to?"
Xu Shijin chuckled, "A Ling, you really don't understand politics. How could he not want to? Do you think that the forced palace is just a problem for His Majesty? The prince forced the palace, just kill His Majesty? As long as you get the decree of abdication and a yellow robe on your body." They are closely related. Before this big crisis, none of the existing beneficiary groups could get away with it. This is a crisis for the whole of Yejing. The Shen family is also in crisis... To save the Shen family, to protect Shen Home, if given this opportunity, Shen Yu will go back."
Liu Ling looked at Xu Shijin's back.
Her friend is ambitious.For the sake of the two men, the entire Yejing city will be turbulent.
A man she wants dead;
A man, she wants him to live.
Just out of selfishness, she wants to overthrow everything that exists.
This is a stunning gamble.
Like an addict, Xu Shijin not only gambled by himself, but also politely invited everyone to join her in the game.
The Xu family has entered the game.
The Shen family has also entered the game.
The Lu family was forced into the game.
Most of the aristocratic families in Yejing were involved.
This shocking gamble, if you win, you can get everything you expect; if you lose, you will destroy everything.
In order to fight for a way out, the Xu family gritted their teeth and participated in Xu Shijin's plan.
But they all thought that Xu Shijin hated the prince, and she planned everything to make the prince die.Everyone sighed at her cruelty and intelligence, and thought to themselves, no one can offend this woman if they offend anyone.But who would have thought that she came here with a heart of revenge, but wanted to do something for another man.
Under her cold iron heart, there is an unknown tenderness.Stepping on the bones, she gave the golden crown to a person.Quietly, no one noticed.Even when it happened, it looked like a coincidence.But this coincidence made her work hard and sleepless every night, calculating it over and over again, lest there be any omissions.
She is ruthless and passionate.
Who understands what she means?
Liu Ling walked behind Xu Shijin and asked in a low voice, "Okay, I promise to help you. But what do you do? He goes back to where he should go, how about you? Do you want to come back too?"
Even if Xu Shijin's charges are cleared, it's still the same sentence, she has no more meritorious deeds, and she can't come back to Yejing.But what is extremely difficult for others, it is not so difficult for Xu Shijin.Ms. Xu has an exquisite heart. What she wants to do, most of the time, she can achieve what she wants.After all, she is smart.
Liu Ling gradually understood what Shen Yan had said to her. There are very few problems in the world to choose between two.If you have to choose, in most cases, it is not "have to", but "I want to".
When it fell on Xu Shijin, it was—"No, I don't want to come back. I don't want to go back to Yejing, and I don't want to be a girl from the Xu family. I'm like this, it's fine.”
Liu Ling was stunned, and anger gradually grew in her eyes, "You..."
Xu Shijin laughed softly, "A Ling, don't be angry with me for not fighting. I have no way to fight. I am close to exhaustion, and I know best myself. I can't live anymore, what should I do?" Delay others again? I don't have such a thick skin, I always owe others."
Liu Ling turned pale.
She stood in front of the bright hall with her best friend, and talked a lot that night.
There were endless killings in the city of Yejing, the outcome was unknown, blood flowed like rivers, and everyone was in danger.In the cool night breeze, Xu Xu was like a dream, but Liu Ling and Xu Shijin stood in front of the quiet hall, talking slowly.
She stood behind, looking at Xu Shijin's thin back.Under the moonlight, lonely, as if stepping on the moon at any time.The side face is quiet and soft, like a veil.The wind blows and the leaves fall, and their clothes flutter in the wind.A maid came to report, "Princess, Mr. Shen told you that Mr. Shen has left with Jin Yiwei. Mr. Shen left a few words."
Liu Ling said, "Say."
The maid replied, "Master Shen said, please Miss Xu stay at the mansion to recuperate from illness, don't go out, he has other important things to do. When he finishes his work, he will come pick up Miss Xu. Please don't leave, Miss Xu."
Liu Ling was taken aback for a moment, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Xu Shijin smiled faintly at Liu Ling, probably only she knew the bitterness in that smile.She said, "Look, Ah Ling, I guessed it all. I can count everything, but I can't count myself alone. There is really no way."
Xu Shijin lived in the Shen residence.
They said it was to see a doctor, but the danger in Yejing was incomprehensible, and there was no imperial doctor who could leave the palace.
These three days were the most depressing three days in Ye capital.Everyone closed their doors, and they could hear crying and begging for mercy outside, as well as the sound of weapons being handed over.Liu Ling met Shen Yan, and she felt relieved when she learned that he didn't plan to go out.The guards in the mansion are so strict that the rebels are still invincible.For most of these three days, Liu Ling talked with Xu Shijin.
When Xu Shijin fell asleep one day, Liu Ling couldn't call her, and felt anxious.There is also a doctor in their house, but after the doctor took Miss Xu's pulse, he wondered that her pulsation was weird, not like a stranger at all.
"Princess, this girl is obviously dead." The doctor said the same thing after examining her several times.
Liu Ling put her hand under Xu Shijin's nose, but she didn't breathe.
She felt heavy when she thought of what Xu Shijin had told her about her illness.Did he just fall asleep, or did he really die in his sleep?
Liu Ling was at a loss.
Shen Yan heard that his wife was sitting on the steps of the guest room in a daze, so she went to have a look.In the cold night, Liu Ling sat there alone, very pitiful.Seeing him, his eyes were still empty.
Shen Yan sighed, sat down beside her, and asked, "What do you want to do? Inform Shen Yu and invite him over?"
It's such a mess outside, what can I do to please.
Besides... Liu Ling said in a low voice, "Life and death are Xiaojin's own ideas. Why should we interfere with her decision? Besides, I don't believe she will die. I haven't heard the news of the prince's death yet. How can Xiao Jin be willing not to wake up again?"
Shen Yan touched her face and felt the sadness in her heart.Liu Ling sniffed, turned around and hugged Shen Yan, and felt better.
Shen Yan said, "Do you still remember the first time you mentioned Miss Xu to me?"
Liu Ling followed his ideas and thought about it.Before going to Ningzhou, Jin Yiwei mentioned Xu Shijin, and Liu Ling said that he was her good friend.There was no quarrel or misunderstanding between them. Although they didn't have much contact with each other, they were indeed friends.
Shen Yan said, "I forgot about you at that time. It was when Miss Xu was mentioned that I vaguely remembered what happened between her and Shen Yu back then. You were there. After that, I slowly remembered more about you. At that time, I thought, you and Ms. Xu really don’t look like good friends. Ms. Xu seems to be treating you nicely, but she is actually using you. I’m curious, to what extent, you will notice and be with her against each other."
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized.It turned out that at that time, Shen Yan knew that Xu Shijin was using her to deal with the Lu family.She gave Shen Yan a hard look, because at the beginning, Shen Yan didn't show it at all.He acted like he didn't know about it.
Liu Ling smiled, "Yeah, these years, I have often thought, how can I be friends with her? When will she bite me in the back and push me into a catastrophe?"
Shen Yan didn't speak.
Liu Ling also didn't speak for a long time.
For many years, Liu Ling yearned for a bright existence like Shen Yan, but a dark figure like Xu Shijin also accompanied her.If possible, she would give up everything and throw herself into Shen Yan's embrace without hesitation, to embrace those beautiful things.But her heart, in the abyss, has been looking at Xu Shijin from afar, living together and growing together.
They looked at each other and were inseparable for life.
Liu Ling's eyes were misty, "But I know she won't. She is my good friend. Even if you bully me, she won't hurt me. One day you don't want me, Xiaojin will always stand by my side .I love her."
Shen Yan was speechless, only felt a toothache in response to his wife's confession to another girl.He smiled softly, rubbed Liu Ling into his arms, and comforted her, "Your lover will wake up."
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment: her lover?who?Isn't Shen Yan hugging herself?
It took her a while to realize that Shen Yan was talking about Xu Shijin.
Liu Ling chuckled, hugged him, and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Shen Yan said in a long voice, "I can't say I'm jealous, I can only say that I figured out a truth."
"what?"
"As your husband, it turns out that I not only need to guard against men, but women too."
"..."
His teasing made Liu Ling feel better.
She was in a better mood, and on the third day, Xu Shijin woke up.As soon as Miss Xu woke up, she heard the good news.Yejing is still the Yejing she is familiar with, the crown prince has failed in transformation and has been imprisoned.
This is the news I got this morning.
In the afternoon, more news came out.During those three days, many court officials died.Half of the people in the imperial court were injured or died because of this.It can be seen that the rebels originally wanted to bloodbath Yejing.Helplessly, His Majesty had already made preparations. There were Imperial Guards, Jin Yiwei and others in the city to support them. The Jingying Army outside the city came back to help when they had time.The prince didn't wait for the best time, and the matter had already been revealed.
The whole Lu family was besieged and imprisoned.
The Xu family became the biggest hero in this palace change. The head of the Xu family died in order to save him, causing the world to sigh.
The Shen family and other aristocratic families also suffered more or less losses in this great change, but after the losses, they survived and must gain.
At night, the imperial decree has been issued.Disappointed and furious, His Majesty deposed the crown prince as a commoner and executed him.
So far, this chaos has achieved what Xu Shijin hoped most.Hearing the word "Fu Zhu", her expression shook slightly, and she quickly calmed down.
"That's great." She smiled when she met Liu Ling who cared about her.
Xu Shijin said, "The next step is what Shen Yu has to do."
Yes, the crown prince fell, and the Lu family fell.Shen Yu, who was in charge of these things before, happened to be in Yejing, and if he had a chance, he would help Xu Shijin clear up his grievances.He hoped to restore Xu Shijin's innocence, so that Xu Shijin could find a chance to return to Yejing, and come into everyone's sight with integrity.
So he continued to stay in the Shen family.
He didn't know that Xu Shijin didn't want to go back to Yejing at all.
Xu Shijin said that the crown prince was dead, she didn't need to stay at Liu Ling and Shen Yan's house, she planned to leave.Liu Ling forced her to stay for a day, and asked the palace doctor to give her a diagnosis to see what was going on with her body.
When the imperial physician in the palace came to Shen's residence for consultation again, he saw Xu Shijin.As Xu Shijin expected, her body was deteriorating day by day.It is caused by poison.The imperial doctor became interested and asked Xu Shijin what kind of poison he wanted to study.He even invited Xu Shijin back home to study her illness.
Xu Shijin refused, she didn't want to stay in Yejing.
She told Liu Ling, "I used to be in Yejing, and I was very tired of calculating and calculating. After leaving Yejing, I realized that there are many more interesting things in the world. I don't have much life left, and I don't want to waste time In Yejing. I also want to change to a different way of life. But if I stay in Yejing, I know I have to go back to my old life.”
The imperial physician was very regretful. At Liu Ling's request, coupled with his own pursuit of medical skills, he introduced Xu Shijin to a folk genius doctor and said, "That is my old friend who specializes in all kinds of strange poisons. Back then When he applied for the imperial hospital, he offended others because of his straightforward temper. The imperial hospital said that his medical skills were gloomy, so he kept him instead of using him. He had arrogance, saying that the imperial hospital would not use him, and that he would never enter Yejing in his life. Even if His Majesty invited him personally, he would not Came to Yejing."
Xu Shijin smiled, "This is an interesting person."
The imperial physician stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course, His Majesty can't be idle and invite a country doctor to come to Yejing. No matter how good his medical skills are, in His Majesty's eyes, he can't reach that level. But girl, you can try it. I think your words are interesting, although he has a bad temper, maybe you can persuade him to help you see the poison in your body?"
"Thank you." Xu Shijin said.
After getting the clue, Xu Shijin proposed to leave the Shen residence and leave on his own.Liu Ling looked hesitant, still unwilling.
Xu Shijin said, "A Ling, what are you afraid of? Don't you understand what kind of person I am? But if there is a glimmer of hope, I will not seek death. I will try my best to see a doctor for the rest of my life, and I hope I can return to Ye That day in Beijing. I hope we will meet again one day."
"I'll be waiting for you in Yejing." Liu Ling said, "I'll be waiting for you forever. Waiting for the day you come back."
She spoke calmly and indifferently, and Xu Shijin looked at her with radiant eyes that seemed to fluctuate.
Xu Shijin turned and left. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and looked at Liu Ling in front of the mansion.She bowed her head and said softly, "A Ling, I wish you a happy life and a life of worry-free life."
This is her greatest blessing to Liu Ling.The better Liu Ling lives, the happier she will be.
It is a good thing if one of them can have a happy ending.
Of course, the matter of the prince's death will not be taken to the vegetable market for the common people to watch together like when he was killed in autumn.Xu Shijin got the news from the Xu family.She did not leave Yejing immediately as she told Liu Ling, but stayed here.She waited to see the prince die.
She lived in a restaurant in Yejing, more or less, listening to reports from the Xu family.She has not broken contact with the Xu family yet, and the news reaches her day by day. She learned that Shen Yu has re-entered the court and helped her rehabilitate and help the Xu family rehabilitate.The Xu family asked her if she wanted to come back?
Xu Shijin smiled and refused.
The new patriarch personally wrote a letter, "Xiao Jin, the death of your parents was done by the family. Over the years, we have seen more and more mistakes. But you must know that the family has never given up on you, and has never given up on you. I have never abandoned you. During these years in Yejing, the Xu family has secretly helped you block many swords. The family treats you the same as it treats other people. I know you hate us for executing your parents back then It's too much, but we have to do it. If you were in that position, you would do the same. The Xu family never felt that they made a mistake, but if you think we are wrong, you should come back and prove us wrong. Xiao Jin, your surname is Xu, and the Xu family has never ignored you. You can go home anytime."
Xu Shijin read the letter silently without making a sound.
She didn't blame the Xu family for a long time.
The older she gets, the more she understands this truth.Her mother died, her father died too, and she was still suspected by her family when she was young.I couldn't accept it when I was young, but when I grew up, I felt more and more that it was nothing.She doesn't blame the Xu family, but she can't forgive the Xu family either.There should have been a better solution to the matter, but the Xu family chose the most brutal way to kill her parents.
Since she was a child, she has always harbored a vague hatred for the Xu family.
Later, I didn't hate it anymore, but I didn't love it either.
But now, what happened to the Xu family, in Xu Shijin's heart, was even more unruly.
The building was full of wind and rain, she was sitting in the inn, listening to the news from all directions.For example, the eldest son of the Shen family has endured humiliation for many years, but he has a plan to expose the hypocrisy of the prince; for example, the girl from the Xu family who killed the prince last year was wronged, and this is normal. I heard that the Xu family The girl has also been a female official before the imperial court, how could she murder the prince; for example, the Lu family is really hateful, colluding with the criminal prince, and now they are killing everyone, which can be regarded as a great joy; another example, the Tang family is actively contacting the Shen family and wants to get married. I heard that the girl of the Tang family Being childhood sweethearts with the eldest son of the Shen family, it's a match made in heaven...
The common people are most interested in gossip. When talking about the childhood sweethearts of Miss Tang and the eldest son of the Shen family, they describe it vividly, as if they saw it with their own eyes.
Quietly thinking about it, there are so many childhood sweethearts in this world.But how many people can come together?
As the spring rain continued, Xu Shijin got the last note.
A quarter of an hour ago, the crown prince had been put to death.Xiao Jin, before he died, he had something to ask you.
Xu Shijin opened the window of the inn and looked in the direction of the palace.The spring rain was pattering, flying in obliquely.In the foggy world, Xu Shijin looked in the direction of the palace, as if he saw her when she was young, and it was the first time she saw a high-spirited young man in the Golden Luan Palace.
He walked into the palace, his eyes were soft, and to her, it looked like spring water rippling.
Xu Shijin when he was a girl stood behind His Majesty, looking at the young Liu Wang curiously and appreciatively.His eyebrows are long and distant, his eyes are black and blue, his nose is straight and straight, and his lips are full and bright red.As a young man, he was as thin as a bamboo, and he talked eloquently in front of his father.With His Majesty's approval, he handed over the notebook.
The young girl Xu Shijin walked down several steps and took the booklet from him.At that time, she had only entered the palace not long ago, and it was the first time she went to court with His Majesty, so she was a little timid.Her wide and long sleeves accidentally brushed against his hand, and the golden thread on the cuff swayed in his hand.His hands were slender and well-proportioned. Xu Shijin had never seen such beautiful hands.
Her indecency offended him.His Royal Highness's eyes were half raised, and he only smiled slightly, but he didn't make any trouble.
At that time Xu Shijin thought, Your Highness is really a good person.
Later she gradually realized that it was a beautiful misunderstanding.He's not a nice guy, he just happens to not care.
But Liu Wang satisfied all Xu Shijin's imagination of his lover when he was a girl.
He must have a clear and definite determination of the future, he must have ambitions, he must not let everything go her way, he must be strong, ambitious, and...
All the conditions contrary to Shen Yu's are Xu Shijin's requirements imposed on his lover.
Maybe she doesn't love Liu Wang, she just loves such a character drawn out of the box.But Liu Wang was just satisfied, Xu Shijin when he was a girl put all his love on Liu Wang.
She loves Liu Wang wholeheartedly.
He blamed Liu Wang wholeheartedly.
In the end, she wholeheartedly wanted to kill Liu Wang.
Liu Wang failed to force the palace, and he was locked in a deserted small courtyard, waiting to die at any time.Before he died, he thought through all the causes and effects.The servant brought the poisoned wine to him, and he asked someone to bring Xu Shijin a sentence, "Xiao Jin, is it me or Shen Yu that you love? Did you love him from the very beginning, and you never loved him?" loved me?"
At the end of everything, he didn't ask her anything else, he didn't blame her for anything else, but he was still worried about it, and he couldn't forgive him alone.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Xu Shijin fell to the ground and supported his forehead.
She handed the letter to the candlestick, and in the breeze and drizzle, she saw that the letter paper was swallowed up by the flames little by little.She murmured, "Who do I love? What's the point of asking this."
She held up an umbrella, left the inn, and walked onto the streets of Yejing.
It's all over now.
Her grievances and expectations have reached the final stage.
But not much happiness.
My heart is empty, standing on this street, I feel that I have nowhere to go.
There was fog on the street, and everyone took shelter from the rain, passing by Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin just walked slowly between them.The colorful flags were drenched by the rain, there were shadows of guests in the windows at the top of the building, and the reflections of people in the puddles on the ground were twists and turns, not a portrait.
Everyone has their own life and their own place to belong.Only she didn't.
Xu Shijin walked in the rain.
It suddenly occurred to me that in the rain last year, there was a nobleman waving to her upstairs, asking her to tell her a story.
It seems like it happened in my previous life, so far away.
She walked aimlessly and without bounds, thinking that she would leave Beijing tomorrow.There is no need to stay here.
I thought about many things along the way, but I didn't seem to think about anything.Her life, her short life, seemed like a joke.
The sky gradually darkened, and the rain seemed to be less.The lights of thousands of households lit up in front of Xu Shijin's eyes.She watched intently, wondering how long ago, if she had these too.
After taking another step, someone bumped up from behind, and a little flower seller hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Xu Shijin stepped aside without saying a word.Her words are clever, and she can instantly calm the little girl's panic.But at this moment, the number of people on the street gradually increased. She looked at the little girl squatting at her feet picking flowers, and she was very tired, so tired that she didn't want to say a word.
She turned around and continued on her way.
Once again, someone bumped into him from behind.
This time, her wrist was pulled.
Xu Shijin froze.
She stood at the head of the bridge, under the bridge, there were thousands of lights and frolicking in the street.She held an umbrella, and the wind and rain passed by her.The other hand was held by the person behind him.The wind blew the hair around her ears, passing the breath of the person behind her.
The two stood back and forth, standing quietly for a while, neither of them said a word.
After a while, Xu Shijin turned sideways and turned around slowly.The umbrella in her hand was lifted up little by little, from the collar to the chin to the eyebrows, the young man's face was reflected in her eyes.
The lights fell on the river under the bridge and fell into the eyes of the young man.Dim light and dark, shaking and falling.
Xu Shijin was fascinated.
Shen Yu pulled her wrist without a trace of a smile on his face.He asked coldly, "I'm here, aren't you happy?"
Xu Shijin raised the umbrella to block the rain on his hair.
Her eyes are quiet, like the shadow of a lamp in the river.The water is swaying and swaying, deep and shallow, very gentle.
An umbrella was propped over the heads of the two of them.Crowds are walking around, the rain is gone, the wind is also gone, the air is slightly cool, bringing the excitement of the night market.Under the umbrella, the pale girl raised her eyes and said quietly, "Since you see a gentleman, don't you like Yunhu?"
I'm here, aren't you happy?
After seeing a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy?
How can I be unhappy that you are here?
You are like a tear, slipping from my heart.
I waited quietly and watched quietly.How can I be unhappy?
All kinds of resentment and resentment, all of which disappeared from Shen Yu's eyes as soon as she said this.
He suddenly stepped forward and took her into his arms.
He said, "I thought you were gone."
"Yejing is so small, yet so big. I want to find someone, and it's extremely difficult. Xiaojin, you can't do this."
Xu Shijin said, "Let's go to the theater."
She smiled, "Just like when I was a child."
"Shen Xiaoyu, play with me for a while."
"……it is good."
