Did you hear that

The news of Xian Concubine Xu's being cast into the cold palace was reported five days later, and there was a lot of discussion on the posted notices in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, Yan Xu and Chun Ding were sitting in the room worrying over a piece of letter paper with a faint floral fragrance.

The letter was sent by Liu Shilan, and the news written in the letter was mixed.

In just a few words, twists and turns, among which Liu Shilan's consideration of people's hearts is even more thorough, which makes people tremble a little.

Here's the thing.

At that time, what Chun Ding reminded Yan Xu successfully recalled some of Yan Xu's memories, which was the story of the concubine Xian mentioned in the original text.Concubine Xian had a fake pregnancy, and later invited Liu Shilan and another favored concubine to enjoy the flowers, but Liu Shilan in the original text happened to come to Kuishui, so she didn't go.So another favored concubine was framed by the concubine Xian. The twists and turns in it were also heard from an old court lady after Liu Shilan successfully counterattacked her superiors, but she was already a powerful person at that time. , These coming-of-age stories are also mentioned in one stroke.

But because Liu Shilan was lucky enough to escape that catastrophe at that time, this belated truth came to be.But in the harem, there are so many truths and falsehoods.

And that unlucky concubine did not know where she was being raped now.

After being reminded by Yan Xu, Liu Shilan herself had a bold idea, and then secretly sent people around her to find a court lady she had helped a few years ago in the Hall of Concubine Xian.

The phrase "It's time to repay the favor" she said in the hall was the signal to start action.

Fortunately, the maid she helped was very cooperative after being found by the people around her, and she was even one of the insiders, knowing more about sex than Liu Shilan imagined.

The next step is simple, control the evidence, and reveal it in front of the emperor, the concubine Xian can hardly argue, not to mention that she is lying.

Can the emperor not be angry?This is stroking the beard on the face of a tiger, and the concubine Xian must be severely punished immediately.

Here is another piece of news mentioned in the letter, a piece of news that really silenced Yan Xu and Chun Ding.

Liu Shilan is pregnant.

Liu Shilan has never been a stupid person, otherwise she would not be able to be the CEO of a multinational company in modern times, and she would not be able to live peacefully in the palace for nearly ten years, and she would still be able to sit in the position of imperial concubine second only to the queen .

She is well aware of her weaknesses.

She knew that no matter how smart and decisive she was, when faced with her own flesh and blood who was pregnant in October, reason would no longer favor her.

She refused to throw the child away after giving birth, and walked away by herself, wouldn't she become one of the people she hated the most?Wouldn't that be the person who stepped into the back road of his mother who didn't know where he was?

As for whether she could take the child away with her, that was a matter of two opinions. She couldn't bet on their lives, betting on an impossible result.

This is mother.

She is willing to risk herself to seek her own glimmer of hope.But they would not want their children to take risks together, let alone leave a child who has no self-protection power in a place surrounded by tigers and wolves, and then pursue the inexplicable future in the eyes of others.

Facing the little life in her stomach, her rationality has been crushed by emotion and nature from the very beginning, leaving only soft, soft tenderness in her heart.

In her heart, she was no longer number one.The one who occupies the first place is the unborn child.

Yan Xu and Chun Ding were silent for a long time as they read the resolute letter between the lines.

They didn't expect it, but they didn't feel surprised.The nine-year harem struggle did not dampen Liu Shilan's vigor, but now, to put it bluntly, it is just a lump of unconscious flesh that easily shakes her belief and goal that she has believed in for so long.

They couldn't understand, but their hearts were filled with a strange feeling.

This feeling is the same as some people and things I have seen when I have traveled abroad for so many years, it is the same as when I saw the sunset outside the Great Wall and the majestic green mountains of the Central Plains into the clouds, and it is the same as after dying to survive. Eye-filling feeling.

Chun Ding grew up in Fayuan Temple since he was a child, and has no impression of his mother's family.It is said that one morning, the abbot at that time picked him up by a small pool in the back mountain. He was wrapped in only a piece of brocade cloth. Take it away.

And that brocade didn't have any clues pointing to his family, so he became Chunding.

Yan Xu thought of his mother, who was almost an older version of Liu Shilan.Her career is developing very well, and everyone who sees her bows down and says in admiration: "Yan Dong."

She is such a strong woman, half a hundred years old and still powerful in the shopping malls. Looking back on a night 20 years ago, she was walking in the middle of the night with nothing, holding a newborn baby in one hand and wiping the tears all over her face with the other. On the deserted street.

Yan Xu suddenly missed her very much, that mother who was almost bankrupt and did not fall but caught up with people was praised, but would cry like a child just because she said happy Mother's Day with a bouquet of carnations.

I don't know what she is doing now?Probably still working overtime?I don't know if I have a good rest and a meal.

After reading the letter, Yan Xu gently closed the letter and put it back in the envelope.There are crisp birdsong in my ears, accompanied by the faint sound of chanting sutras.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.Press the envelope under the candlestick and stand up on your thighs.

His side face is much sharper than it was nine years ago, the lines are clearer, his thin lips are slightly pursed, revealing a vicissitudes of reticence.He looked very calm, and said something nonsensical: "It's time to solve my own business."

Chun Ding glanced at the soul body beside him, then turned his head to face the front, and responded softly.

He knew what Yan Xu meant: since Liu Shilan had finally made a decision, he could no longer avoid it.

This is the tacit understanding they have been getting along for 9 years.

The Mingjing Pavilion doesn't seem to have changed much from the outside, it still stands high on the top of the mountain in an extraordinary posture far away from the world.

Yan Xu stood in front of the door with complicated thoughts and emotions.

He suddenly remembered the day he sneaked into the high school campus during the summer vacation after he was admitted to university. The grass on the playground was still there, and the plastic track exuded that extremely familiar smell under the scorching sun.There was no one on campus, except for someone walking around behind the window of the office, probably the teachers who came to have a meeting to prepare lessons.

He lightly touched the classroom where his former class was. The blackboard was wiped clean without a trace of chalk, which would never be spotless when the students were on duty, even if their class took it. Flowing red flags many times.

The desks are still from the same batch and have not been refurbished.

Dark blue velvet curtains were carefully drawn on either side of the windows, which were both closed and locked.

There is a lush green branch standing outside the window, and it stands there quietly, and it is impossible to imagine how it looks like it is bare in winter.It is a three-story sycamore tree, which is said to be a hundred years old and grew up with this campus.

His desk is in the last row of the class by the window, and Yan Xu can still clearly remember the scratches on his scarred desktop that he filled in black with a pen.There is a character engraved on the lower left corner of the table. His "Yan" character is not big but deep, and he uses Xiaozhuan that has been practiced since childhood.

Wait, there seems to be a word in the lower right corner, what is it?

Without waiting for Yan Xu to think about it, the door opened in front of him with a "squeak" made him suddenly come back to his senses.

His eyes focused on Jiwu's face, which was less than one meter away...the black mole on the tip of his nose.

Ji Wu remained calm and looked at him quietly, his eyes were so dark that Yan Xu took a breath.It was very inappropriate, Yan Xu recalled the interrupted train of thought a few seconds ago, the word "俍" was engraved on the lower right corner of his desk.

Yan Xu was taken aback by this realization, is it a coincidence?Or did I remember wrongly?

He and Zhou Chu only met in college, and no one in the high school class had the word "俍" in their name. Could it be someone from the last few classes?

"It's you." Yan Xu's mind was in turmoil. He didn't know what the word on the corner of the table represented, or maybe he was thinking too much.

Ji Wu bowed his head, with his right hand upright in front of his chest, a string of black rosary beads hanging from the tiger's mouth swayed gently in the breeze: "Benefactor Zhou, you have already left."

"Leaving? When?" Yan Xu frowned.

"Nine years ago."

"Nine years ago?" Yan Xu didn't expect him to leave so early, so why did he hide and think about it for so many years?

"It was the day when I talked to Liu Shilan?" Yan Xu remembered that the condition for him to leave someone else's body was to fulfill that person's wish, so Abbot Jiwu's wish is easy to guess, it is nothing more than keeping Fayuan Temple up and down safe and sound.

"Yes." Ji Wu nodded.

"Did he leave any words for me?" Yan Xu found that his heart was clenched tightly, and if he was not careful, he would be strangled to death by the invisible rope.

"Don't hide, I know."

Ji Wu looked directly at Yan Xu, and could clearly see the momentary movement on Yan Xu's face and the shrinking pupils. He sighed in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him, but after saying "Amitabha", he stood there dumbfounded. Yan Xu left.

Yan Xu didn't know if he was relieved, but the disappointment that flashed in his heart immediately surprised him.

In all fairness, except for the outrageous incident when we first met Zhou Chu, Yan Xu finds everything else very pleasing to the eye.Yan Xu knew that Zhou Chu was his favorite.

At first he thought Zhou Chu was a straight man, after all he said to his face that he should stay away from the school girl, Yan Xu naturally calmed down.

Later, when I went to the piano store and met Zhou Chu, I saw his lazy look on the other side, but I only thought he was cute, but I didn't think so.Later, in Qin Youyu's world, he met Zhou Chu, because there were a lot of things to do, and Zhou Chu was possessed by the girl, but the two of them lived in peace.

After returning to the real world, Zhou Chu confessed his love indirectly.

He thought he had misunderstood, but then Zhou Chu asked him very seriously: "Can you be my boyfriend?"

It has to be said that people with good looks take advantage, and Yan Xu had a little bit of thought about Zhou Chu, he had to admit that he was happy and impulsive for a moment.

However, reason held him back.

Yan Xu doesn't believe in love at first sight, even though he himself has a crush on Zhou Chu when he sees him, it doesn't prevent him from feeling that such a relationship is irresponsible.

More importantly, he couldn't tell if Zhou Chu was serious.

It doesn't matter if Yan Xu is conservative, anyway, he thinks it's too casual for them to propose dating before they know each other well.So up to now, Yan Xu's love history is still blank.

Although Yan Xu himself didn't feel that his mother's failed marriage was an important factor in shaping his emotional outlook, he was indeed affected.

Yan Xu's mother, Yan Ran, fell in love with Yan Xu's father at first sight. Yan Ran actually had a childhood sweetheart marriage contract, but she was always yearning for the magnificent world when she was young.And Yan Xu's father was a young educated youth from a big city. Later, when Yan Ran's generation was restarting the college entrance examination, Yan Xu's father brought Yan Ran back home.

But Yan Ran, who came from the countryside, was not welcomed by her parents-in-law, but Yan Xu's father was busy preparing for the exam, so Yan Ran was ignored.He didn't notice that his wife became more and more silent, he only knew how beautiful and foreign-looking the female classmate who returned from abroad was at the next table to the university he was admitted to.

Yan Ran was kicked out by the drunken Yan Xu's father in the middle of the night, because Yan Ran finally mustered up the courage to ask him if there was anyone outside.

It was the end of autumn, and Yan Ran was wearing a thin shirt, holding Yan Xu who was woken up crying out of breath, penniless, walking on the streets of a strange city.

She met a few drunks who touched her or teased her with words. Where and how did she sleep that night? Did she fall asleep?Yan Ran had never discussed these issues with Yan Xu in detail.

It's just that when Yan Xu was rebellious in junior high school, Yan Ran dragged him out of the Internet cafe in the middle of the night and beat him up for half an hour while crying.In the end, the woman who was always in good spirits, with disheveled hair and crying makeup, sat paralyzed in the empty hall of the house holding Yan Xu with a somewhat stubborn expression. Only then did she hiccup and reveal her early years. not easy.

She cried so aggrieved that the eyes of Yan Xu, a half-grown man, instantly turned red.

Because Yan Ran has been busy with her career, Yan Xu has been fostered at her grandmother's house since she was a child, and sometimes lives at the house of her aunt who is a teacher. She rarely does homework and eats at her own house every year except for the New Year.

How much dissatisfaction he felt, finally contributed to his truancy.

In the end, all his immaturity died down under the crying of his mother.He grew up overnight, he attended classes obediently, ranked among the top three in grades, and was polite and calm.

But in contrast, there was a deep gulf between him and his mother.

The gully uses the mother's grievances and filial piety as soil, and deeply buryes the young Yan Xu's dependence on his mother in his heart. There is only an empty void where he will not be disappointed if he does not hold out hope.

The author has something to say:

Ah...it really turned into a weekly update, I'm guilty and I ran away first~ Yes, the exam is coming again~

Zhou Yu: Will anyone listen to what I say?

Jianxian: So what... You have to understand that Yan Zi's view of love is still a bit paranoid, and you are too sudden, okay? Did I withdraw?
