Tang Ning raised her head: "Is it A Niang?"
Xiao Yan said "Yes", and he held Tang Ning with a distant look on his face: "She never told her name back then, she only said that she was Aunt Xue's best friend. She held the other half of the dragon pattern pendant in her hand as a token and secretly sent me away. Capital City.”
"I injured my eyes in the fire in the East Palace, and saw the death of my father, queen, mother and concubine with my own eyes. In addition, I was poisoned by someone unknown when I was in the East Palace. I had health problems and my temperament became unstable, but the lady always remained... Be patient and take care of me.”
The eldest grandson of the emperor, who was so high above others, was suddenly blinded. All the people close to him died. He was desperate and could not survive.
During that time, he refused to take medicine or see his injuries. He was full of resentment and wanted to stab anyone who wanted to get close to him.
Mrs. Kerong always guarded him. She never gave him any advice or advised him to let go. She just made another bowl of medicine after he knocked it over. She changed his medicine while he was asleep. She would make sweet plum blossoms. Su would occasionally sit not far from him and play the piano.
Her piano skills are very good, and she seems to be able to soothe the anger in people's hearts.
Later, she brought the little pink dumpling and chirped in his ear, leaving him almost no free time to think about the tragedy of the rebellion.
"I've taken good care of myself. I don't know how many people died in Beijing because of that rebellion. Your mother never hid that from me. She only knows that only when people are alive can they have hope."
"I recuperated there for a long time, until she suddenly left a few days later. When she came back, she looked anxious. It happened that my father and the old men left by the He family found me, and she urged those people to take me away."
"Now that I think about it, the late emperor should have known about Long Yuling's affairs at that time and suspected that he was involved in the Taifu, which implicated Mrs. Rong."
Tang Ning was precocious and she still remembered some things from her childhood, but not as clearly as Xiao Yan. She frowned and said softly: "Then why didn't I give you the dragon pattern?"
Xiao Yan said: "I don't know, but I guess she was either afraid that I was young and would not be able to suppress the He family and my father's old subordinates, and that they would seize the throne and I would not be able to keep the dragon pattern pendant, or she didn't know how to do it at the time. I know exactly what this thing is, and I just regard it as a token of Aunt Xue.”
He picked up the dragon-patterned pendant from the pile of clothes at the bedside and handed it to Tang Ning.
"The material of this jade pendant is average, and the workmanship is not very fine. Except for the special carvings, no one would think it was a tiger talisman that can mobilize the army."
"After Emperor Taizu passed the Long Yuling Order to his father and queen, except for the earliest general of the Zhen'an Army and the leader of the Longting Guards, Shang Zhonglin, no one else has seen what the Long Yuling looks like."
"I don't know why this thing was in Aunt Xue's hands and transferred to the Rong family, but I guess Aunt Xue never told your mother the use of this thing."
Mrs. Rong left the dragon-patterned pendant to Tang Ning because she wanted to remember Aunt Xue. Later, the late emperor confronted Taifu Rong several times, and then Empress Lu repeatedly tested the Rong family. Mrs. Rong should be Only then did I realize what the dragon pattern pendant was.
The late emperor and the new emperor were eyeing the Rong family, and Empress Lu also made her uneasy. Mrs. Rong did not dare to put things on her body, and no one would think twice about hanging them on Tang Ning as an ordinary jade jewel.
Tang Ning touched the dragon-patterned pendant: "My mother-in-law only said that this was a gift given to me by my aunt of the Xue family, so that I could not leave. Later, my mother-in-law had an accident and was trapped in the Song family ancestral hall, so she told me You must return the things to the little brother, and you cannot give them to anyone except the little brother."
She paused:
"Aniang said, not even my grandfather can do it."
Xiao Yan had a complicated look on his face when he heard this. Since Mrs. Rong had figured out the purpose of the Dragon Pattern Pendant, she would be able to feel at ease after handing it over to Taifu Rong. However, she never let go, and she never even mentioned it to Taifu Rong.
Xiao Yan didn't have a good impression of Rong Qian'an. When his father wanted to eradicate the family and restore the imperial family, Rong Qian'an was the first to propose it. If he hadn't helped his father and the He family, they wouldn't have reached the point where they would betray their relatives and leave.
He didn't blame Rong Qian'an for what he did, but his father conspired against him, the He family was exterminated, and almost all the courtiers who followed his father died. However, Rong Qian'an escaped in time and quit the court to save himself.
Others didn't know the truth about the rebellion, but Rong Qian'an knew about it, but he never stood up or defended his father. He only guarded the Rong family school and watched helplessly as his father became violent. His title was banned, he was despised by everyone in the world, and he was stigmatized after his death.
Xiao Yan could understand that the situation had been decided at that time, the court was changing from old to new, and Rong Qian'an could do nothing but protect himself. He could also understand that he buried the past after Emperor An ascended the throne for the sake of the so-called overall situation and the stability of the court, and for the Wei Dynasty to avoid chaos. , allowing his father to bear a bad reputation.
But he was not happy about Rongqian'an.
Mrs. Rong may also have known that after giving the dragon pattern pendant to Rong Qian'an, for the sake of the overall situation and stability, this thing would fall into the hands of the royal family, but for the sake of her friendship with Aunt Xue, she never gave it away until her death. hand over.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips: "I owe it to my mother."
Tang Ning's eyes were red, she held the dragon pattern pendant in her hand and whispered: "If my mother knew that something went wrong and the thing was still returned to you, she would be happy."
"It's just fortunate that it's inconspicuous, and fortunately no one has ever thought that grandma would give something to me..."
Otherwise, how could she have been able to hold on when she was young.
She remembered that someone wanted to take away the dragon-patterned pendant, but she always remembered her mother-in-law's words and refused to let go even though she was being lectured to the point of confusion.
Later, during an argument, something fell into the filth in the house. Even the servants found it disgusting, but she guarded it tightly and bit anyone who grabbed it.
Probably because she was too crazy, Mrs. Song only thought that this was a thought left by her mother-in-law. She was afraid that she would not be able to live if she moved it. Also, she saw that the thing was just an ordinary piece of jade and was inconspicuous, so she allowed the dragon pattern to be worn. on her.
Seeing that she seemed to be lost in memories, Xiao Yan tightened his grip a little, lowered his head and kissed the corners of her eyes.
"Don't think about it. Those who have harmed my mother and you, I will make them unable to live or die."
"Um!"
…
She was already sick, but after struggling a lot, Tang Ning relaxed and tiredness swept over her. She soon fell asleep on Xiao Yan's body.
After Xiao Yan saw that she was sleeping soundly, she stood up with Tang Ning in her arms and placed her gently on the bed.
He lowered his head and kissed the little girl, tied up her obscene clothes for her, and caressed her sleeping face tenderly for a moment. Xiao Yancai put on the clothes on the bedside, and then put on the crumpled clothes. The steps left the room.
As soon as he arrived outside, he met Cang Lang's eyes that said, "The governor is very brave."
"Mrs. Rongguo said that after letting the governor come out, go see her immediately."
Xiao Yan: "..."
Cang Lang glanced outside: "Mrs. Rong Guo's maid has been guarding her there. If the governor comes out later, his legs will probably be broken."
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't say anything, Cang Lang stepped forward and said, "The ugly daughter-in-law of the Governor must always meet her parents-in-law. Otherwise, I will prepare some thorn sticks for you. You can bear the thorn sticks to apologize, just like that Gu Helian, pretending to be pitiful. If you sell miserably, you can break into the house."
"My subordinates see that Mrs. Rong Guo is fond of color. In terms of face, you are much prettier than that surnamed Gu."
Xiao Yan had no expression on his face and just kicked him, while Cang Lang grinned in pain.
"Get away."
Does he, Xiao Yan, need to sell his skin? !
After two cups of tea, when Xiao Yan saw Rong Yue, his clothes were even more wrinkled, and traces of being torn could be seen vaguely. There were some ambiguous marks on the exposed half of his neck, and his eyebrows, which were more beautiful than the fairy in the painting, were dyed a little different. Ordinary embarrassment.
He was usually high in the cold snow and sharp, but now he seemed to have fallen into the mortal world, tainted with the aura of mortal world. When he saw Rongyue with a tense face, Xiao Yanwei blushed first.
Rong Yue's anger froze: "..."
Why is he blushing? !
