The Royal Forest Army was stationed inside and outside the second gate.
The night dew gradually appeared on the branches of the locust trees.
Emperor Wei had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
However, Shen Lang avoided Emperor Wei's gaze with cold eyes. Shaoqing said in a deep voice, "There is no Wei Qing here, only Shen Lang."
As he said that, he suddenly looked towards Wei Emperor and said, "Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, and it's time to return."
After saying that, he added lightly: "I wish your Majesty a safe journey."
After saying that, he walked straight past Emperor Wei and walked inside.
When Emperor Wei heard this, he narrowed his eyes instantly, stared at Shen Lang's tall back and said in a deep voice, "Qing'er, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Lang paused slightly for a long time before he said with an indifferent expression: "The agreement I made with you was to help you eradicate King Pingnan, and you - let the Shen family go."
When he said the last four words, a sharp and cold look flashed in Shen Lang's eyes.
When Emperor Wei heard this, he lowered his eyes, as if he was deliberately avoiding the topic. After a long while, he put his hands behind his back and said, "So, what my son means is, this world is for nothing." If I deliver it to you, you don’t want it anymore?”
As he spoke, Emperor Wei squinted his eyes and stared at the vigorous figure in front of him that was even half a head taller than him. Seeing that the figure was towering, his aura was not even inferior to his. After a long while, he finally spoke. Su Xuan, actually took the lead to lower his head and said: "No matter what, you have to know that everything I did today was for you. It was for you and me, father and son, to remove the biggest obstacle. It was also for you. Having paved all the way to ascending to the throne in the future, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Emperor Wei spoke eloquently. At the end of his speech, his tone was a little hasty, and his elegant face actually showed a hint of grievance.
When Shen Lang heard this, he pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time. After a long time, he pursed his thin lips and said, "Including the Shen family?"
Emperor Wei was choked and speechless for a long time, and then he said with a straight face: "In this country, his surname is Wei, not Shen."
As he spoke, Emperor Wei's gentle face also turned into a stern look.
Shen Lang said, "But my surname is Shen."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around, looked directly at Emperor Wei and said, "My surname will be Shen for the rest of my life."
As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm seemed to appear on his cold face.
As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly brushed his sleeves, turned around and went in without hesitation. As he walked, he looked calm and said straightforwardly: "The Emperor Luo Shizi, the son of King Rui, is smart, has dignified conduct, and can be cultivated."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone passed by and was about to go around the Moon Cave Gate.
When Emperor Wei heard this, there was finally a crack in the emperor's majestic face. He immediately started to chase the cold figure for two steps, and finally became angry and said: "Qing'er, don't be ridiculous. Come on, you should know the importance!"
Seeing the black robe disappearing into the dusk, Emperor Wei's true nature was finally revealed, revealing a hint of darkness and coldness: "You should be more considerate of the Shen family."
There was a hint of threat in the cold tone.
There was silence outside the moon cave door.
Emperor Wei threw his dragon robe away in anger, and his face became twisted with anger.
He has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he has never spoken to others in such a condescending manner. He never expected that he would be so submissive just to hand over the throne to others.
For this throne, four or five people were beaten to death in the court hall. Unexpectedly, when they got here, they couldn't even send it out.
Emperor Wei's chest rose and fell violently. Just when he thought Shen Lang had left, he suddenly heard a cold and disgusted voice coming from behind the moon gate, saying sarcastically: " So, you can’t even tolerate the last few old, weak, women and children, and you can’t even tolerate me, right?”
The voice was cold and boring, and every word was stern.
Emperor Wei immediately looked up and saw Princess Qinghe dressed in black slowly coming out from the dark twilight. Finally, she stood in front of the moon cave door. She looked at Emperor Wei coldly and said, "You want to eradicate the serious troubles in your heart." King Nan, you want to suppress the family members, you want to get rid of the Shen family, these are not enough, now you have to get rid of me too, right?"
Princess Qinghe looked at Emperor Wei with an indifferent expression, as if she were looking at a stranger.
Although Emperor Wei practiced benevolent policies, only she knew how cruel and poisonous his heart was.
Compared with the indifference and disgust on Princess Qinghe's face, Emperor Wei was clearly happy, as if he couldn't see the disgust and hatred on her face at all. He immediately greeted her with a happy face and said: "Man Man, you are finally willing to see me."
But when he came to greet him, he saw Princess Qinghe retreating immediately, like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and retreated outside the moon cave door.
Emperor Wei immediately stopped walking and looked at Princess Qinghe's posture. His face showed a hurt look for a moment, but he still looked greedily at the beautiful face a few steps away, even if he only looked at it from a distance. , were enough to make him happy and satisfied. He kept looking at it for a long time, and finally recovered. He only looked happy and moved, and softened his words: "Manman, do you know what I have done? Everything is for you, for our Qing'er. You see, I have left the whole world to him. No one is worthy of that position except him. I am finally going to give this place to him. The throne of the world has been handed over to our son, and I want our son to become the true Dragon Emperor above millions of people in this world."
Emperor Wei said with a pleased expression.
The happy tone seemed to be mixed with a hint of asking for credit.
Speaking of excitement, he immediately said excitedly: "After Qing'er returns to Beijing with me this time, how about you also return to Beijing with me?"
As he spoke, he only said with infinite longing and nostalgia: "That way, our family of three can be reunited."
After saying that, he looked at Princess Qinghe from a distance with a doting look on his face and said: "The Baoyue Palace in the palace is still reserved for you. I have to go there every day. Manman, you have been in Baoyue Palace since you were a child. Growing up in Yuegong, you were raised by me personally. You have been away from the palace for many years, don’t you want to go home?"
Speaking of this, I didn't know what I thought of, and suddenly said with a sad face: "My mother has become old in recent years, and I have been thinking about you in the past few years. I am now old and unruly, Just follow me home."
Emperor Wei persuaded him affectionately.
However, Princess Qinghe said with disgust on her face: "Yes, you killed my husband and destroyed my tribe for my own good. You are so kind. You are so kind that I want to vomit even if I look at you again."
Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth and looked at Emperor Wei, and said with hatred every word: "Back then, Shen Bin and the Mi family helped you ascend to the throne, but you turned your back and refused to recognize them. Now you want to eradicate them. Wei Yan, do you still have any humanity at all?"
Princess Qinghe spoke sternly every word, and as she spoke, she suddenly sneered, and finally slowly closed her eyes and said: "I forgot. If you are really human, how could you do this?" Doing things that are worse than animals like pigs and dogs."
Princess Qinghe said with pain and hatred on her face. After speaking, she slowly opened her eyes, wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, stared at Emperor Wei and said: "Wei Yan, you are heartless, I curse you for the rest of your life. No descendants, because the blood left in your body is dirty and dirty, no one cares about your throne, you'd better hold on to that throne until you die!"
Princess Qinghe, Wei Emperor gritted his teeth and finally turned around and left coldly.
As soon as Fang turned around, he saw Shen Langli standing under the tree a few steps away, looking at her calmly. Princess Qinghe paused for a moment before finally turning her face to avoid the cold gaze and straightening her waist. The pole, carrying the majesty of the princess, walked away step by step with head held high.
Chapter 164
"Yao Yao, do you want to wear the green one or the yellow one?"
Early the next morning, after getting up early, the weather was warm, with a hint of coolness in the early autumn morning, which made me feel particularly comfortable.
Liu Yingying was combing Yaoyao's hair under the banana tree in the yard. The child's headdress was simple, but one or two hairbands could easily be worn. Liu Yingying asked Liu Yaoyao gently while tying her hair.
"I want the green one."
Yaoyao replied crisply: "Eldest sister likes green things, and Yaoyao also likes green things."
Liu Yingying poked Yaoyao's head with a melon seed, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, I will give our Yaoyao a green one today."
While talking, Liu Yingying picked out a green headband and was about to tie it on Yaoyao's head. At this moment, she suddenly heard a burst of excited shouting outside the yard: "Girl, girl -"
"lady--"
Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Yingying was so shocked that her hands stopped for a moment. The next moment, the long hair that she had managed to hold together fell down in an instant. Liu Yingying hurriedly stood up and walked toward the entrance of the yard. Looking over, I saw two familiar figures rushing into the yard one after another.
They were all carrying their bundles and wearing plain clothes, and surprisingly they were Tao Yao and Suo Qiu.
"Tao'er."
"Sister Suoqiu."
Seeing Taoyao and Suoqiu suddenly falling from the sky, Liu Yingying was immediately surprised and happy, and immediately strode to greet them.
"girl."
Taoyao immediately threw away the baggage in her arms, rushed in with tears in her eyes, and threw herself into Liu Yingying's arms. The master and servant immediately hugged each other.
"Girl, I thought...I thought I would never see you again."
Taoyao, who had always been a man of few words, hugged Liu Yingying tightly, her slightly thick red lips trembling slightly.
Liu Yingying's eyes turned red instantly, and she hugged the little fat girl tightly. For a long time, she just cried with joy and said: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Come on, bah bah bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, these unlucky words."
While talking, Liu Yingying immediately pulled Tao Yao and patted her three times on the wooden table nearby. Then she pulled Tao Yao up and checked her carefully: "Quick, let me see if she is injured." .”
He just couldn't help stroking the hair on Tao Yao's face, and couldn't help looking at the little black face in front of him. He said with slightly red eyes: "I've lost weight."
As soon as the words came out, the master and the servant cried and laughed and hugged each other tightly again. It took a long time for Liu Yingying to stabilize her emotions. She remembered something and hurriedly said: "Quick, come with me." Tell me, how did you come back? Where have you been for the past two months? How did you get here in the past two months? Have you suffered a lot?"
Then he suddenly thought of Suo Qiu beside him, and hurriedly took Suo Qiu's hand and said, "Why did you two go back together?"
While they were talking, they saw Taoyao and Suoqiu turning their heads and looking outside the yard. Outside the yard, they saw Wu Yong holding his sword and bowing to Liu Yingying.
Liu Yingying suddenly came to her senses. It turned out that two months had passed since they said goodbye at the city gate that day. There was chaos in the city, they were separated, and there was no news about Tao Yao. After returning to the city, Liu Yingying asked Wu Yong specifically. Looking for her on her behalf, I thought the chance was slim, but I didn't expect to actually find her.
Liu Yingying blessed Wu Yong with great gratitude for a moment, and then she didn't bother to say hello to Wu Yong and hurriedly pulled Tao Yao and Suo Qiu into the house, and said happily: "Let's go, Let’s go inside and talk in detail.”
At this time, Wu heard the news and hurriedly came out to welcome him. Suddenly, the quiet and secluded place gradually returned to its original liveliness.
In the house, Liu Yingying took Tao Yao and Suo Qiu sat together. Mrs. Wu poured tea for them personally. She could only hear Tao Yao murmuring: "After we separated from the girl that day, Pingnan Prince's Mansion The army rushed into the city in an instant, and I fled around with the people. I happened to meet Sister Suoqiu in the chaos. Sister Suoqiu led me to hide in her relatives' house in the city for half a month. Later, after the city gate let me go, The palace was looking for people everywhere, and everyone related to the Shen family was killed without mercy. We were afraid of implicating others, so we followed the merchants out of the city, and finally hid in the cellar of Sister Suoqiu's hometown for more than a month until yesterday. Wu Guard sent someone to look for him, and then he found out that the rebels had been driven out of the city, and then they found out about the Shen family, and then they found out about the Shen family——"
It turned out that Suo Qiu was a slave of the Shen family, and the village of Zhuangzi in the suburbs was also robbed by people from Pingnan Palace. They were hidden in Suo Qiu's uncle's house and had been cut off from the outside world.
The two of them talked about their experiences and knowledge in the past two months one by one. Liu Yingying quickly thanked Suo Qiu for Tao Yao's rescue, but Suo Qiu sighed slightly and said: "Speaking of it, it's me who should do it." It’s better to thank the girl. If the girl hadn’t bid farewell to the Shen family that day, and the slave had just taken leave to go home to visit relatives, she would have left the Shen family early. Otherwise, I’m afraid she would have suffered the same disaster as the sisters in the mansion——”
When it came to the experiences of the Shen family and the servants of the Shen family, Suo Qiu couldn't bear it and turned red for a moment.
Liu Yingying was not very sad, and then she remembered something and said: "I heard that the Shen family paid resettlement funds to the families of the victims yesterday, and many people were rescued. I just don't know if there is any There are people I know."
As he said that, he remembered Pinyue who came to Qinfang Courtyard with Suo Qiu, and saw Suo Qiu saying: "All the maids in the mansion have been sent to the army. Even if they are rescued, they will be ruined."
Speaking of Pinyue, Suo Qiu said: "Other people don't know, but I know Pinyue. Yesterday, before I left home, my mother mentioned that she learned it from the mouth of a saved person. , said yes, said that the people disappeared the night they were sent to the military camp."
The women who were exiled from the army were reduced to military prostitutes. The Prince of Pingnan had just taken the victory stick, and everyone was like a wolf and a tiger. It was said that the women who had just entered would be violated by more than ten people a day, and those who had just escaped from the battlefield were reborn. Everyone has today and no tomorrow, and it can be said to be extremely cruel. Some women were even made to have their intestines and stomachs fall out, and they died without resting in peace.
Pinyue served her in the end, although she was not close to her, and even Pinyue betrayed her master and took refuge with Yao Yulan, but there was no enmity or enmity between them. Liu Yingying couldn't bear it for a while when she heard about this experience.
The three masters and servants sat together and talked in detail. The feeling of rebirth after a disaster was once complicated and indescribable. It was only two months, but for many people, it felt like a lifetime. As they talked, The three of them couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Tao Yao remembered something and suddenly looked towards Liu Yingying's face and said: "By the way, miss, when Sister Suo Qiu and I came in, we saw that the house was hanging. red."
As she spoke, Taoyao's eyes quickly moved down, landing directly in front of Liu Yingying's slightly swollen belly. She once carefully asked: "Is there a happy event in the house...is there a happy event in the house?"
Taoyao asked with a worried look on her face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu quickly glanced at her. Taoyao was stunned and immediately closed her mouth, looking worried and uneasy.
On the way here, she learned that the eldest son had been killed in the battle, but she clearly heard Wu Guard saying that he was coming to look for his master, so she became confused for a moment, wondering whether the eldest son was still alive.
Since there were outsiders along the way, I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Now I could open my mouth and find out what was going on.
It is said that the Shen family's funeral has just been held, but now the lanterns and festoons have started to be put up. I heard that the old lady was seriously ill, so this was to celebrate the occasion.
However, the Shen family's marriage did not invite guests to the wedding, and declined all outsiders. It was only held briefly in the house, without any fanfare.
Therefore, although outsiders have heard about it, they don't know who is getting married.
Before this incident, it was only known that the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Lang, was getting married and that he was a natural couple with the legitimate daughter of the Mi family. However, now that the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Lang, has died in this incident, outsiders are speculating about this. The marriage was arranged for Shen Ye, the second son of the Shen family who was one of the few surviving members of the Shen family.
Not to mention outsiders, even the servants in the mansion were confused at this time. They only knew that the marriage was done in a hurry, and it was just three days later, but they didn't know who did it.
