The First Traitor [Rebirth]

It was getting late, the boat slowly docked on the lakeshore, Huarui hugged Yuan Xu, who was already extremely sleepy, and placed him in the carriage that had been prepared on the shore.Afterwards, Luo Qijiao bowed to Yuan Jing and got into the carriage, but Nan Lian's clothes fluttered and she walked swiftly and smoothly, which made Yuan Jing disappointed and confused.

"What's wrong with her today?" Yuan Jing asked Chuu Yu.

"I'll ask the second young master about it," Chuuyu replied.

"Could it be that you came late today and kept her waiting?"

"Second Young Master thinks the princess will get angry with you because of this?" After Chuyu finished speaking, he sat next to the coachman and let the coachman drive the carriage away.

"Tsk, it's getting harder and harder to guess what this sister-in-law is thinking!" Yuan actually shook his head, then touched his waist subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.Looking down, she saw that the jade pendant she usually wore was no longer on her body.

Surprised, he turned to look at Mai Ran: "Have you seen my jade pendant?"

The jade pendant was a gift from Nan Lian, and Yuan actually knew its meaning many years ago.The jade pendant, which looks unsurprising, is actually one of the sigils of "Lingyan", and with it, the people of "Lingyan" can know her identity, thus protecting her in secret.

Mai Ran thought for a while: "Young master didn't bring it with you when you left the house."

Yuan actually thought about it carefully: "I went to the palace in the morning, and I was worried that the emperor would recognize me, so I didn't wear it on my belt. When I came back, I changed my clothes and put it on the table, intending to wear it again, but Xu'er urged me outside." And forgot to bring it with me!"

She muttered again: "Could it be that the daughter-in-law of the princess is angry with me because of this?"

No matter what, the carriage had already disappeared in front of her eyes, and she didn't worry about it anymore, she got on the horse and rode to Yuan Mansion.

Back at the gate of Yuan Mansion, I just saw Yuan Ye who came back from the palace. He ran into Nan Lian and others, and Yuan Xu was being hugged by him to tell today's anecdote.

"Father." Yuan actually threw off the rein, stepped forward and saluted Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye's eyes were slightly cold, and he nodded for a moment.He turned to Yuan Xu and said, "Are you hungry, grandpa will take you to eat delicious food."

As soon as Yuan Xu heard what to eat, his saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth.Seeing Nan Lian staring at him, he subconsciously wiped his small mouth, and then struggled to walk on his own.

When Yuan Ye led Yuan Xu into the mansion, he turned his head every three steps, as if with a hint of longing.Seeing this, Yuan Ye said to the three people who were still outside the door: "Let's have dinner together today!"

Yuan Xu looked at Nan Lian expectantly, his thoughts were undisguised, not only Yuan Ye saw it, but others also saw it.

He had been adopted by Nan Lian to take care of him since he was a child, but he was always taken care of by his wet nurse. Besides greeting Nan Lian every day, the most common person he saw was Yuan Ye.However, Yuan Ye attached great importance to his education, so he taught him to read and write when he was only a little fluent in speech, and he was not allowed to play.

Excessive suppression of a child's playful nature will cause him to long for the care of his parents.

Although he is young, he also knows that he is not the child of Yuan Li and Nan Lian - he is the child of Yuan Jing and Pingyao.He rarely saw Pingyao, and Yuan Ye's teaching made him regard Nan Lian as his mother, but he still felt a little insufficient.Therefore, when he saw Yuan Jing, he had some expectations.

"Yes." Yuan actually replied.

Before dinner was ready, they went back to change their clothes.Yuan followed Nan Lian back to the room, quickly picked up the jade pendant on the table and tied it on his belt, then went around the screen to find Nan Lian.

Nan Lian had just taken off her long-sleeved blouse, her bare shoulders were white and tender, and her two snow-white arms were about to untie the skirt inside, when Yuan actually walked over and held her hand: "I'll help you!" Princess and sister-in-law change clothes."

Nan Lian pulled her hand over Yuan Jing's, and immediately opened her fingers with force.Yuan actually suffered from pain, with an awkward expression: "Princess and sister-in-law show mercy!"

Nan Lian let go of her hand, Yuan actually shook her hand quickly, moved her knuckles again, and said, "Could it be that you have your period? Why are you so angry?"

Nan Lian changed her skirt on her own, and put on another plain shirt with large sleeves, then glanced at her waist: "What do you need to have a long memory?"

"With Mairan here, it's fine if I don't take it once or twice." Yuan Jing said.

"You think I'm unfounded?" Nan Lian asked back.

The original murmured for a moment, but did not deny it.Nan Lian loved and hated her like this, grabbed her belt, and said: "It's fine if you hide the jade pendant in front of the emperor and parents, but you can't leave it at home! Right now It's not that you don't know the situation, in case they jump the wall in a hurry, in case..."

The bloody scene flashed in front of Nan Lian, she grabbed Yuan Jing's hand so hard that her knuckles turned white.Things had deviated from the track of her previous life and were heading in a direction that they couldn't fully control. The more this happened, the less she dared to relax.

Nan Lian spent ten years arranging and protecting the original truth.But after only six years, this guy became more and more careless. She never knew that someone cared more about her life than herself.

Yuan actually stretched out her arms to hold Nan Lian tightly, she took a deep breath: "Lian'er, I have lived for so many years, to be honest, with you here, I already have no regrets."

She knew that Nan Lian was carrying more and heavier things.Her rebirth is full of hatred, and her purpose is to torture those people by all means for revenge.She is easily satisfied, but Nan Lian's obsession is deeper.

"And don't protect me like this anymore, I will become lazy."

The most frightening thing is not that the enemy stabs people in the back, but that they think that someone is protecting them, so they take it lightly.

Nan Lian didn't speak, Yuan actually touched her face, kissed her again, said: "Okay, let's go out, Dad and the others must have been waiting for a long time."

The two of them went out of the room together, and the servants in the mansion would not be surprised when they saw it, on the contrary, they took it for granted.Especially in the past year, the relationship between Yuan Ye and Yuan Jing has become worse and worse, and Yuan Ye doesn't know why he doesn't want to take care of Yuan Jing's affairs, as if he treated Yuan Li once.

The bystanders didn't know why, but Yuan guessed a thing or two: "I'm afraid Dad knew what I did. For the sake of our blood and my mother, he didn't blame me!"

When Nan Lian thought of Yuan Ye pouring all her heart and soul into Yuan Xu, she knew that the past feelings between the father and daughter had faded with the passage of time.She knew that Yuan did it on purpose, only Yuan Ye was extremely disappointed in her, even if something happened to her in the future, Yuan Ye would not be too sad.

In the hall of Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ye, Yuan Jing, Nan Lian, Luo Qijiao and Yuan Xu sat around and had a meal.Yuan Xu was very happy with this scene that he hadn't seen for a long time. He still remembered that the last time he had dinner with Nan Lian and Yuan Jing was on Yuan Day, and there was never such a day as the Lantern Festival.

"You and King Zhao's oboe singing is pretty good." Yuan Ye said coldly.

Yuan actually put down his chopsticks and looked back at Yuan Ye: "What does dad mean?"

"You took advantage of your position and didn't seal the other yamen, so the king of Zhao came forward to make the project go smoothly. Didn't you just let them accept the favor of King Zhao?"

"I don't quite understand what Dad said. Whether it should be stamped, how to stamp it, and when to stamp it, there are rules and regulations. I have to check what they play before stamping it, right?" Yuan actually smiled slightly.

Yuan Ye knew that she was pretending to be confused, so he didn't expose it, but said: "If you abuse your power like this, even if you succeed in the future, you will be notorious."

"Above this court, as long as you have power and value, you are right. If you have no value, even if you think of the people in every possible way, they will not remember your kindness, and there are many people who fall into trouble. yes."

In this treacherous officialdom, there are too few people who want to be in the top position and still want to have a good reputation.For the imperial examination alone, although they are all disciples of the emperor in name, in fact they attribute themselves to the disciples of the invigilating officials in their hearts and automatically stand in line.

If you don't stand in line in the officialdom, you will have to float and sink at the bottom for the rest of your life.Even a man of high morals and prestige like Old Luo Hanlin, how could he be completely innocent?

Yuan Ye thought of what he had done, so he didn't blame Yuan Jing any more.The difference between what he does and what Yuan Jing does is that Yuan Jing is too conspicuous, and he is still more sophisticated than Yuan Jing.

"Let Xu'er play occasionally, he's still young." Yuan Jing took the opportunity to say.

Yuan Xu raised his head upon hearing this, and looked at Yuan Ye with some expectation in his heart.But facing Uehara Ye's deep eyes, he lowered his head again. Today, Yuan Ye asked him to go out to play, but it was an exception.

"You are not allowed to leave the residence." Yuan Ye did not object, but only made such a request.

As long as he is in the mansion, he can still guarantee Yuan Xu's safety. If there is no one to protect him and let him leave the mansion, or if there is an accident, he may have no hope in this life.

Yuan Xu looked very happy, and said: "Grandpa, I will read and read well, so that I will not disappoint Grandpa!" Then he said to Yuan Jing, "Thank you, Uncle."

In late March, when the emperor was seriously ill, someone exposed the rebellion of the king of Qi—more than a hundred people in a mountain raised armor and weapons privately, and rebelled under the slogan of supporting the king of Qi and the emperor of Qing.This team came fiercely, taking advantage of the lack of vigilance in various places, and fought all the way to the vicinity of Gyeonggi.

This incident shocked the court, and the emperor ordered the Imperial Forest Army to go to Qi Wangfu to arrest Qi Wang, and Qi Wang had already heard the news.He knew that he was framed, and if he was caught without a fight, it would be tantamount to a dead end.

So under the instigation of his officials, he had no choice but to act first, summoned his party members overnight, and mobilized his own part of the nineteen guards to kill towards the palace.

Although he never thought about rebellion, but in order to prevent such a day, he also deliberately placed a lot of people in the soldiers, horses and military guards.In recent years, he has competed with Liang Wang, Zhao Wang, etc. for soldiers and horses. He can't guarantee that he will succeed, but now the emperor has dispatched some soldiers and horses to destroy the "rebels" who rebelled in his name. It is weak.

Anyway, it is death, it is better to give it a go.As long as he controls the palace and imprisons the emperor, the throne will naturally be his!

Some of his troops went to Liang Wangfu and Zhao Wangfu. No matter what, he would kill Liang Wang and Zhao Wang first.And another group of people met with the Imperial Forest Army at the Meridian Gate, and another fight took place.

The gate of the palace was closed tightly, and the soldiers and horses guarding the city came to rescue him after hearing the news. King Qi was finally defeated and captured alive.

When he was being escorted into the palace, several arrows pierced through the night sky, and one of the arrows sank into his neck without a neck guard.

King Qi just trembled, and immediately grabbed the arrow that pierced his neck. Some thoughts seemed to flash in his mind, but they were not very clear.

He fell to the ground, gradually losing the ability to breathe, pawing his hands on the ground, staring at the night sky in pain, his eyes were fierce and unwilling.

The author has something to say:

I won't spend too much time on King Qi's affairs in this chapter... It's not too satisfying, but it's still a clue.
