The First Traitor [Rebirth]

"Bitter." Nan Lian frowned when the tip of her tongue touched Yuan Jing's lips.

"Princess, this is the medicine you prepared." Yuan Jing smiled.

"I have never eaten heartbroken grass, so I don't need to drink medicine." Nan Lian glanced at her coolly.

It turned out that I was at a loss for words.It took a while to find a topic to divert Nan Lian's attention: "The Princess is here, what should the mansion do?"

"I'm seriously ill, so I can't see people."

"This... If that's the case, sister-in-law should spend more time with me here!" Yuan actually got up from the ground, and pulled Nan Lian to sit on the reclining chair.

Nan Lian asked her to lie down, while she occupied a small place on the recliner and sat, half twisting her body to look at Yuan Jing: "You deal with the people in your elder brother's courtyard, why did you deal with yourself?"

"Sister-in-law has been here for two days, I must have met Mai Ran, why didn't he tell you everything?"

"He is yours, not mine, so how can he listen to me?"

Yuan was a little surprised by this. After all, Mai Ran knew their relationship, but still could remember her words: Although he listened to what he should listen to, he would not ask, and what he should not say, he would never reveal half of it. sentence.

Yuan actually had no choice but to say: "Your emperor's uncle—" He stopped talking, then looked at Nan Lian with curious eyes, "Which cousin is sister-in-law closest to?"

"I'm not close to them."

Since Nan Lian didn't support the faction, Yuan Jing continued: "Your emperor's uncle hopes that the Yuan family will help the Crown Prince."

Although Nan Lian doesn't care about government affairs, she also understands Yuan Jing's intentions.Even though she knew that Yuan had no choice but to resort to bitter tactics, she was still frightened and angry at her adventure.He couldn't help grabbing Yuan Jing's hand and biting hard.

"Sister-in-law of the princess, your martial arts skills are world-class, if you want to punish me, you will do it, when did you learn such a method?" Yuan actually covered his hand with teeth marks but not broken skin, with a surprised expression on his face.

"You said earlier that you knew you were wrong, but is this the attitude of knowing you are wrong?"

Yuan was so choked that he was speechless, so he could only hook Nan Lian's hand and write something gently in her palm.Nan Lian originally had a serious face, but seeing her at this moment, she couldn't help but turn the ice into warmth: "You rest first, and I'll make you some medicine."

Yuan had a bitter face: "I'm still drinking, I just spit it out because it was too bad to drink."

"Good medicine tastes bitter."

When Yuan Li returned to Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ye asked him what happened at the Spring Hunting Conference and why Lu Wen poisoned Yuan Jing.Yuan Li had already accumulated a lot of anger because of being inexplicably suspected. After returning, Yuan Ye questioned him without asking indiscriminately, as if he was the one who ordered Lu Wende's murderer, and couldn't help saying angrily: "How do I know why she was poisoned?" ?”

"It's the other way around!" Yuan Ye was furious. On this point, the two father and son are quite alike.

Yuan Lu was afraid that Yuan Ye would punish Yuan Li again, so he stepped forward and said, "Master, let Li'er speak carefully, even the emperor has found out that he has nothing to do with him, so don't take him as a murderer!"

Yuan Ye eased his face: "I regarded him as a murderer? Before leaving, I told you brothers to support each other, but in a blink of an eye, she was poisoned by someone in your yard. Why?"

"How do I know?! Lu Wen may not have poisoned him at all, he was tortured to extract a confession!" Yuan Li recalled the interrogation methods of the Imperial Forest Army. If he was not Yuan Ye's son, he might have been tortured too.

"Okay, master, Lu Wen is dead, and Lu Wu is dying. The two brothers have been punished as they should, and Yuan is fine. This matter should be settled!" Yuan Lu said.

Yuan Ye thought for a while, turned around and went back to the study, and added a few more letters to be sent to Yuan Jing's place as soon as possible.He didn't personally confirm that there was nothing wrong with Yuan, so he was still a little uneasy.

Yuan Li scolded in a low voice: "Unlucky!" At first, he thought that he could gain something by going to the spring hunting meeting, but he never thought that he would lose the boy who had the longest relationship and the best relationship, and was accused for no reason after returning.He originally planned to go to Pingyao, but thought that he was full of bad luck now, and he couldn't let Pingyao get in touch with the child, so he took a shower, changed clothes and left the house.

He didn't want to go to Wenxiang Building or Tongxiang Pavilion, so he went to Goulang Pavilion to listen to music instead.

He thought that after Pingyao entered the Yuan Mansion, he couldn't come back to take a look, and he couldn't contact the people here.And if there are her good sisters here, they might be able to chat with Pingyao.Thinking in this way, Yuan Li went to find the owner of the Goulan Pavilion, and said, "Does Pingyao girl have any good sisters with you?"

"Of course there are, but most of them have found their beloved and left here. Zhilan and Heque are still there, but they are busy right now, so I'm afraid they won't be able to come here for a while."

"It only takes an hour to play a few songs, and I can still afford to wait."

Seeing that he persisted, the pavilion master stopped persuading him and let him just sit and wait.Until it was completely dark, and there were more visitors in the Goulang Pavilion, and the halls were full, Zhilan and Heque came over when they had time.

The most famous girl in Goulang Pavilion has to take a bath and change clothes before playing music for the big audience, so it will make people wait for a long time.Zhilan and Heque are the "treasures of the town hall" of Goulan Pavilion. When Pingyao first came in, it was Zhilan who taught her etiquette and Heque taught her pipa.The two took care of Pingyao a lot, seeing that Pingyao could find a lover, although they were a little jealous, they were mostly blessings.

"Master Yuan?" The two heard from the pavilion master that someone wanted to find them, maybe they wanted to ask about Pingyao, but they didn't expect it to be Yuan Li.

"Are you the closest sisters of Miss Pingyao?" Yuan Li looked at them and found that they were not as beautiful as Pingyao.

"Pingyao did talk to us when he was in Goulang Pavilion. Master Yuan came here just to know about Pingyao?" The two felt strange, Pingyao was redeemed by Yuan Jing, and now he has a child, why Yuan Li cares about her so much?

"Oh, it's like this. My younger brother is away now. Please ask me to take care of Miss Pingyao. I think that she has no one to talk to with her in the mansion. I'm very bored, so..."

"Yuan-sama cares about his younger siblings," He Que said.

Yuan Li was a little embarrassed and guilty, and Zhi Lan bumped He Que lightly, and the latter quickly changed the subject.

It turns out that living with Nan Lian's company is really uncomfortable.Lin Jingran always felt that the servant beside Yuan Jing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.He joked at Yuan Jing and said: "Yuan Erlang is so loved by the emperor, and even let the servant stay to take care of him. You have cultivated for so long, should you be fine?"

"That's right, you should go out with us more, so that you can feel healthy, how can you stay in the room all the time?" Guo Ping also said.

"Then go out for a walk, pack up your things tomorrow, and go back to Beijing. From here to the capital, the scenery on the way is enough for us to see." Yuan Jing said with a smile.

Lin Jingran and Guo Ping were greatly disappointed, but considering that Yuan still had a job and could not be as free and idle as they were, they gave up the idea of ​​lobbying her to stay for a while.

On the way back, Yuan unexpectedly rode in a carriage specially, and put Nan Lian beside her.Although Lin Jingran and others thought this move was weird, they didn't comment on it.Seeing that Yuan actually listened to her, Nan Lian cupped her face and kissed her, with a smile on her lips: "Jing'er is so obedient, do you want me to give you a gift?"

Yuan actually put his arms around Nan Lian, rubbing hands with her, grinning in a low voice and said, "Of course I want the princess's sister-in-law's gift, but can I give it to the princess's sister-in-law?"

"what do you want?"

"Of course it's sister-in-law."

Nan Lian glanced at her reproachfully, grabbed her hand that wanted to play tricks, and said, "I still think that what you want most is power and profit."

Yuan actually smiled: "Of course I want power, but I actually want power for my own self-interest, and getting the daughter-in-law of the princess, so that you, father, Xiaoxue, and even Xueli can live better is the most important thing to me." self-interest and purposes.”

"No Pingyao?"

Yuan was stunned, and said: "We all have to pay a different price for the path we choose. Her path was chosen by herself. It is up to her whether she lives or dies."

Nan Lian patted her hand lightly and stopped talking.The two remained silent all the way until their team was stopped by a cry for help.

"What happened?" Guo Ping asked in a thick voice.

"Your Majesty Yuan, Mr. Guo, Mr. Lin, there is a woman standing in front of the road asking for help, claiming that she is being chased and killed. I hope we can draw our swords to help." The guard who escorted the team back to Beijing reported.

How could things be so coincidental?Turning her head to look at the smiling Nan Lian, she immediately understood what the "gift" she meant was.He said: "Bring it and ask who it is."

Yuan actually opened the curtain and went out, only to see a ragged woman kneeling in front of the carriage, with a panicked expression: "Please save the life of the lady, my lord!"

"Master Yuan, this woman claims to be from Pingyao County, Luochuan Prefecture, and she used to be an old maid in the Pingyao County Magistrate's Mansion..." Wei Jun explained the origin of this woman one by one. It turned out that this woman was once the wife of the Pingyao County Magistrate. The dowry maid who lived in Pingyao county magistrate's house for decades.After the Pingyao county magistrate was executed, all the servants in the mansion dispersed, and she was also forced to leave, and later found a widower to marry.But suddenly one day, several assassins came to the house, her husband and children were killed, and she was chased all the way to this point.

"Take it home first!" Yuan Jing finished, and returned to the carriage.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, she pushed Nan Lian down on the carriage board, her eyes were deep: "Sister-in-law, who are you?"

Nan Lian knew about the events of Luochuan Mansion and Pingyao, but she knew nothing about Nan Lian.She knows that Nan Lian loves her so she won't harm her, but she dare not trust the other party just because the other party loves her!

She was reborn, and she used all the information from her previous life to get to where she is today; but Nan Lian was like a ghost that suddenly appeared, which made her feel very vague, but Nan Lian could understand more things than her.

She doesn't like the feeling of being held by others, just like in her previous life, she was held by Pingyao because of love...

Feeling the slight pain from her shoulder, Nan Lian frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she comforted: "If you want to know, I'll tell you. Jing'er, I don't want you to doubt me. It's better than killing me like this." It makes me even more sad."

Yuan pursed his lips and looked sharply, as if he didn't quite believe Nan Lian's words.But the next moment she laughed, let go of Nan Lian's shoulders, pinched her nose, and said: "You have done so many things for me, how could I not believe you? I just lost my head for a moment!" If Nan Lian really wants to harm her, and maybe she won't always pay for her, why should she doubt it?

Nan Lian hadn't seen Yuan Jing's capriciousness and suspicion for a long time.That glance just now was more hurtful than before.But Yuan Jing sat upright like a normal person and began to think about how to deal with the woman who was related to Pingyao.

The author has something to say:

Well, when there is a estrangement like this, if Yuan Jing doesn't ask about Nan Lian's origin, Nan Lian will tell Yuan Jing.
