Fostering apprentices

Yan Nan lowered his head, looking at the people coming and going in and out of the pavilion, he sneered a few times, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and dripped onto the skirt of his clothes.

Finally, he said softly: "Yun Jing is dead..."

"What?" Chu Heng was shocked. He looked at Yan Nan in shock, his face full of disbelief: "Yun Jing is dead, why is there no news from the palace?" He just heard that Yun Jing was injured. As for his death, these news were also concealed, and he looked up at Yan Nan. If Yun Jing passed away, the saddest thing would be Yan Nan.

"The empress is hiding it, I also received the news the day before yesterday." He looked at the ring on his finger, it was Yan Yang's favorite ring during his lifetime.

Then, he said: "Yun Jing's poison was given by his elder brother. Later, his elder brother also took poison in the palace. When Yun Jing woke up, he secretly sent his elder brother back to the general's mansion, and he died later."

Chu Heng still didn't believe why Yan Yang poisoned Yun Jing. According to the relationship between the two at that time, there could be no misunderstanding or conflict, even if it was so, it was impossible to poison.

Yan Nan took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Chu Heng. He leaned against the window, looking at the distant Wangcheng, his eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This is the letter he found when he was packing up his elder brother's belongings. It was written in his elder brother's handwriting, and the ins and outs of this matter were clearly written on it.

"Ten years ago, everyone said that my father died in battle, but it wasn't true. Yun Jing thought of a way to the first emperor to win a piece of land in Xiqi, and the price was the annihilation of [-] soldiers. Of course, my father disagreed. But the military order was like a mountain, the first emperor ran out of food, his father and the soldiers couldn't hold on, and some even starved to death on the battlefield. At night, there was a surprise attack from Xiqi people, and the soldiers had no strength at all. That night, my father He died on the battlefield, and even brought [-] soldiers to the border without returning."

"Later, the first emperor used the banner of avenging his father. How many generals in Nanling were brought out by his father. Naturally, they were kept in the dark. Xiqi was defeated and ceded a piece of land. My father was buried in the name of martyrdom. We The first time I entered the palace and saw Yun Jing was also planned by him."

He held tightly to the railing of the window sill, and said with a choked voice: "All of this is a lie, all of it is a lie, even he has already recovered his memory, and he is lying to me."

Nearly ten years of obsession turned out to be nothing, a dream like a dream in the mirror, he could imagine what kind of heart his brother had when he went to poison him, with a heart that must die, presumably it was Li Xiang, a treacherous minister, who told his brother The truth of the matter is that their parents are the pain between their brothers, but they never thought that the culprit was the person he had been chasing for more than ten years.

Yan Nan laughed like a self-deprecating smile, his eyes overflowed with tears, as if possessed by a demon: "Yun Jing...he should die."

"Damn him!" The palm fell on the table next to him, and the table couldn't bear the force and shattered directly.

Hearing these words, Chu Heng was also stunned for a while. He also knew some things about Nanling, but it was only superficial. He has always admired Yan Nan's father, the invincible general The prestige on the mainland is like the god of war.

However, what he didn't expect was such a result.

"Anan, what should you do next?" He asked softly.

Yan Nan's current situation is very difficult, without the backing of Yun Jing, even Yan Yang has left, he has no real power in the court, and the General's Mansion is now in name only.In case someone intentionally made a fuss about the poisoning of the cloud mirror, Yan Nan would be the first to be hurt.

There was constant noise outside the window, and mixed voices came to Yan Nan's ears. He sank his heart: "Wait and see what happens. We will collect debts from them slowly when the new emperor ascends the throne."

The emperor passed away, Nanling changed overnight, the royal city was covered with white silk, even brothels and brothels were forced to close their gates, and no one was allowed to drink and have fun during the national mourning period.

The queen disappeared and disappeared into the palace with the key to the treasury. Yun Jing had no heirs, so he could only choose a prince from the clan to inherit the great treasure.King Qing, who was the only powerful member of the royal family, was enthroned as emperor under the admiration of the prime minister and others.

The enthronement ceremony was originally supposed to have all the civil and military officials kneel down to worship the new emperor in the Golden Luan Hall, but this time Yan Nan did not go to court.

A guest came to the general's mansion, Yan Nan dismissed his servants and took her to the backyard.

"Second Young Master, why don't you go to the enthronement ceremony today?" This person is the long-lost queen.

She looked at the man in front of her. The white robe on his body had already been taken off. She didn't know when he fell in love with the red dress. The flamboyant red dress on him added a bit of mystery.

This is very different from the Yan Nan in her memory.

"Why do you want to go?" Yan Nan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of the queen. He sat on the stone chair, and he didn't seem very surprised by the queen's arrival, as if he had already expected it: "I have filial piety. He can't do anything with me."

The smile on his face didn't fade away, it was completely different from the previous coldness, as if there were two people, the queen was a little stunned, but she still calmed down and sat in front of him.

Teacups are still Yan Nan's favorite porcelain. The people in the General's Mansion are more casual and have no taboos about the choice of tea, but for Yan Nan, drinking tea is something to talk about things. It is also wasted.

"The queen likes this Longjing?" He asked softly.

"It's just a taste of my hometown." The Queen took a sip of the brewed Longjing. The familiar taste reminded her of the hometown she hadn't returned to for seven or eight years. She was originally from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the daughter of Su Huai, the prefect of Suzhou. Su Qing.Originally, she thought that in this lifetime, she should marry an ordinary person and enjoy her life together, but instead she entered the palace and became a queen who is above this person by tens of millions.

How many years have I not tasted the taste of my hometown?

Su Qing lowered her head, looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, her red lips parted slightly: "When I was young, I went up to the mountain to pick tea with those tea picking girls, and my father often reprimanded me for not looking like a girl. It’s like forgetting what it was like before.”

"Is it my fault?" Yan Nan asked.

"What's your fault? You sent me to the palace, or did you delay my life?" Su Qing stared at him with piercing eyes, but there was no trace of blame in her eyes.She raised the scattered hair around her neck, the same as when she first met Yan Nan, except that she lacked the impulsiveness and passion of her youth. In a blink of an eye, the girl holding a paper umbrella by the West Lake was no longer there.

The years did not leave any marks on Su Qing's face, but there was a little vicissitudes between her brows.

Yan Nan looked at the person in front of him, guilt flashed in his eyes, and he said to her, "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? Friends shouldn't say sorry or anything like that. I entered the palace voluntarily. Because I became the queen of the Su family, now even the collateral families are promoted and made a fortune."

Su Qing smiled, and tried her best to bury the strange emotion in her heart deeper. After entering the palace for so many years, she also knew something. The humble one.

Sometimes, silent liking is also a kind of love.

"Then, what are you going to do in the future?"

Yun Jing passed away, King Qing naturally couldn't tolerate the people from the previous court, he cut the grass and rooted out the roots, otherwise he would not look for Su Qing all over the world, just for the treasury in her hands.

"I can't go back home, find a place to live incognito, maybe we will meet again."

Yan Nan paused: "If you have any difficulties, you can repair the book for me."

Su Qing hummed, and replied: "Yes." When she turned around, she threw the things that Yun Jing gave her to the person behind her, "The things that Yun Jing left for you, there are four in the treasury, three of them It is in the hands of the people around him, this thing may be able to help you."

When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, and said what she had kept in her heart but hadn't said for a long time: "Yan Nan... don't live for others in this life, sometimes think about yourself, you are the most dazzling one people."

"The Second Young Master Yan I know is a peerless, handsome young man with high spirits, and a tough man on the battlefield."

After speaking, Su Qing stopped looking at Yan Nan, and left the small courtyard. They were not from the same world. Although they had a heart that was unwilling to be worldly, they were tortured by the world so much that their hearts became ordinary. up.

After leaving like this, Su Qing doesn't know when he will see Yan Nan, maybe it will be a few years later, maybe it will be forever.

The lonely lamp was so lost in his thoughts, he rolled up the curtain and looked at the moon and sky and sighed. This farewell, I wish you all the best.

Yan Nan tightly held the token in his hand, looking at the leaving figure with great emotion in his heart.

Turning around, the plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom. He picked a plum blossom and put it in the palm of his hand, a few smiles appeared on his delicate face.

"Brother, should I let go?" Let go of the hatred that fell on me, let go of everything and look for myself?

Own?What kind of self is he?

He looked at the plum blossom in his palm, his dark eyes were as silent as water.

At night, the Dongyue Imperial Palace was brightly lit, and the man on the high seat casually played with the dagger in his hand, the delicate sharp blade looked cold under the candlelight.

Mu Chu looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, as if he was looking at a group of ants. There was a smile on his face, but in the eyes of others, he looked like a life-threatening devil, who might kill them at any time.

Concubine De was kneeling among them, and the life and death of the sixth prince was unknown, so she naturally had no backer, but she lost her status in the harem.Now that Mu Chu is still alive, he took out the jade seal by some unknown method, and together with a group of ministers made him emperor.

Concubine De looked at the man on the high seat unwillingly, she was used to being pampered, and this was the first time she was in this situation, not only her, but the concubines who were also kneeling almost fainted.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Nanling."

Mu Chu took the letter, felt what was inside was not paper, but what kind of tree branch?

branch?What did that person send the branch for?

Opening the letter, there was a plum blossom inside. It must have been a long time, and the plum blossom was a little dry and withered, but the tangy fragrance still smelled very good.

He took out the flower branch, and wrote a few clear characters in the envelope: How is Jun Ke?

This is the handwriting written by his master, and it is the flower sent by the master.
