[Da Han Tianzi] Revenge after the abolition

The tip of the knife gently pierced Pingyang's neck like this, drawing a line of blood.

The blood splashed on Zhao Wanhua's body, making her cold body suddenly warm up.

Zhao Wanhua stood up, dropped the dagger, and took a few steps back, seemingly unsteady on her feet.

She felt very tired and seemed to see Qi Jian's smiling face again, but when she looked up, it was Zhang Tang.

At this moment, she felt a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Tang looked at her with a calm gaze, but with a kind of deep search. He saw the blood on Zhao Wanhua's body, but in the end he just said: "Leave the rest to Zhang Tang."

Zhao Wanhua nodded with a blank face, and walked past Zhang Tang, but at the moment when she had already passed, Zhao Wanhua heard Zhang Tang's voice.

"Madam Gouyi, please do it yourself."

Zhao Wanhua paused, she turned her head to look at Zhang Tang, but Zhang Tang just dropped this sentence, walked back to the edge of the cell, and asked to be cleaned up.

Zhao Wanhua touched the blood splattered on her face, and then looked at her fingers. The bright red color was probably the same color as when Qi Jian left that day?

Good for yourself?What is good for oneself?

Zhao Wanhua didn't know.

She stumbled away, but after coming out, she felt peaceful in her heart.

Princess Pingyang didn't know who she was at all, but she knew Pingyang, and Pingyang asked her if she had harmed her child, but Zhao Wanhua asked back, who was that, who wanted to harm the wife's child?

At that moment, she saw Princess Pingyang's wide-open eyes, what a terrified look...

Zhao Wanhua suddenly squatted outside the execution ground of Tingwei Mansion, hugged herself tightly, and cried loudly.

Qi Jian is completely innocent. Princess Pingyang's dead soldier killed him. Now that she has killed Pingyang, it can be regarded as revenge for Qi Jian, right?

As for Zhang Tang, he suddenly thought that his worries were unfounded, but he didn't know what hatred could turn a person into.

Maybe I have never had hatred in my heart. Zhang Tang didn't know what he wanted. In fact, he had been so numb and aimless for a long time, and gradually he was assimilated by this officialdom. After all, he pursued high officials. What is Houlu for?Zhang Tang has never figured it out, but what can he do if he doesn't pursue high officials and generous salary?

Zhang Tang watched others packing up and looking for things in the prison, and then returned to his mansion. When I was in the market, I saw a familiar fortune-telling stall, so I stopped.

Dongfang Shuo was taking a nap by the side of the road, so he stopped in front of Dongfang Shuo for a long time, and finally left without saying a word.

After he left, Dongfang Shuo lifted his eyelids, opened them, looked at the direction Zhang Tang was leaving, lowered his head again, casually opened the bamboo slips that had been pressed by his elbows before, looked at a word on it, and suddenly He stretched out his hand to bring the teacup on the side, and poured the water on the bamboo slips.

The handwriting was obviously newly written. When the tea was splashed, the ink melted away, and the original handwriting could no longer be seen clearly.

Dongfang Shuo sighed, and began to pack his things, "No one can be saved, no one can be saved..."

"Mr. Dongfang, what are you muttering about? Have you packed up so early?" Someone beside him asked with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo said: "If the fish don't come, you have to go into the net. If you can't catch the fish, close the stall..."

"Mr. Dongfang, you said something that others don't understand." The man shook his head, really not understanding the thoughts of these fortune tellers.

Dongfang Shuo packed his things and left. Before sunset, he left Chang'an by car and headed all the way to Luoyang. No one could find his trace again.

After Zhang Tang returned home, Zhang Anshi ran over, "Father, I heard that there is a baby in the palace, Anshi wants to go and see."

Zhang Tang leaned over and picked him up, entered the room together, and put him down again: "I will take you there later, don't make trouble now."

The situation in the palace is complicated, especially now, it is hard to say what is going on with His Majesty.

Now that the situation has initially stabilized, those unstable factors have been suppressed, and Zhang Tang can finally have a good night's sleep.

He ate some food casually, and when Tao Shi was packing up his things, he persuaded: "My husband has been busy with government affairs these days, it seems that he hasn't had a good sleep for a long time."

Zhang Tang squeezed his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the study first, and I still have some things to deal with. The situation is not good recently. You control An Shi, don't let him walk around, and don't go out."

Some things cannot be explained clearly to others. After all, it is related to the secret affairs of the palace, and Zhang Tang will not have any good results if it is said, so it is fine to stop.Dow could probably understand what was going on, so he didn't ask too many questions.

He entered the study room, looked at the shelves full of bamboo slips, but took a box from the shelf, opened it, and saw two pieces of plain jade lying inside, which were obviously broken.

One half is hung with a buckle, usually with a silk sash. He sits in front of the lacquered table, holding one in each hand, and then they are joined together. When you look at it like this, it is a perfect fit. But when you loosen your hand, it will be divided into two halves again. .

This thing can probably be re-mounted by a craftsman, but it is no longer the original appearance.

Zhang Tang put the two pieces of jade on the lacquer case, and took out a hollowed-out decoration made of silver thread, which happened to be able to inlay the two pieces of jade together, but he buried his head and put the two pieces of jade together When I went there, I suddenly felt that no matter how I looked at it, the whole thing was uncomfortable.

Tao Shi brought water in and cleaned Zhang Tang's hands. He just shook like this, and the jade that was spelled just now fell apart again.

Zhang Tang sighed, and finally went to sleep after washing his hands.

The bloodshot eyes were already densely covered, and his temples were throbbing. Before going to bed, he glanced at the box on the lacquered desk and turned sideways.

No matter what, it never occurred to Dongfang Shuo to come to Chang'an again.

I have to report this news to Chen Ajiao tomorrow.

But at this moment in the palace, it was an unusual calm, the surroundings were quiet, and no other shadows could be seen at night.

Only Xuan Shidian suddenly became extremely nervous. Chen Ajiao watched the doctor Zhou administer the needles, her heart skipped a beat. When she heard that Zhao Wanhua was back, she walked out, "Wanhua——"

She was stunned, Zhao Wan's eyes were red, as if she had cried, but the clothes on her body were different from when she left.

"Your Highness, I'm back."

Originally, she wanted to ask "Why did you come back so late", but when the words came to her lips, she stopped for some reason, Chen Ajiao sighed: "Go back and rest first."

Zhao Wanhua didn't refuse either, she leaned over and saluted, "Wanhua has gone."

She nodded and watched Zhao Wanhua withdraw, but felt that the shy and silent girl at the beginning was slowly changing color in her memory. Zhao Wanhua's figure became more and more slender, and even her skin was white There are many, that one scar is no longer enough to cover her beauty.Chen Ajiao didn't dare to think about what kind of pain the premature death of her first relationship would bring.

She returned to the palace, and Sang Hongyang and others around her were watching. At this time, Xiao Fusheng was also very obedient, neither crying nor moving, just in Danbai's arms, with black eyes rolling, from Chen Ajiao's On the face, it reached Liu Che's body.

Imperial Physician Zhou took the last needle from Liu Che's brow, and immediately a palace official handed him a brocade handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Imperial Physician Zhou almost fell when he stood up, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "All See tonight."

"Medicine." Chen Ajiao turned around and shouted, Guo Sheren immediately brought up the medicine presented by the palace people, Chen Ajiao took it, and handed it to the imperial physician Zhou, who tested it once before serving it to Liu Che. .

His face still had that morbid paleness, which no longer looked like an emperor. If white hair was added, it would only make people think that he was just an old man with white hair.No, he's still young, but it's just his body.

"You go back first."

Chen Ajiao just said lightly that Sang Hongyang and the others around her were all going to retreat, but the master father Yan didn't leave so simply.

Chen Ajiao suddenly shouted: "Master Fu Yan and Sang Hongyang stay here."

Sang Hongyang never thought that he would let himself stay. Although he and Chen Ajiao were not strangers, he was definitely not Chen Ajiao's confidant. She asked him to stay, what happened?

And Chen Ajiao obviously knew about Sang Hongyang's doubts, so she didn't explain much, "Do you two know why you stayed here?"

Sang Hongyang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't make a sound. On the contrary, Master Yan wanted to laugh, but suppressed it. Now that Liu Che has something to do, he really shouldn't laugh.

"Your Highness, tonight is the most important thing, but if—"

"Shut up! Is your duck's mouth going to turn into a crow's mouth?" Chen Ajiao's eyes were sharp, and she almost stabbed at the master's father like a knife. The master's father only felt terrified, but just said such a sentence, it would happen in itself She would be angry about the matter, which simply does not conform to Zhu Fuyan's perception of Chen Ajiao.

In any case, the father-in-law quickly fell silent, he cherished his own life, and he was afraid that Chen Ajiao would let someone fork him out and directly snap him, that would be really unlucky.

"Master Sang, I need to trouble you to prepare for some things." Although she said that the master's father was like a duck's mouth and a crow's mouth, Chen Ajiao knew that some things were unavoidable. Hard to say.

just in case……

If it goes like this, it is not known who will be overthrown.

Sang Hongyang's original doubts arose again, "Your Highness..."

"I know what you are wondering in your heart, but you may not know it. His Majesty appreciates you very much, but you have never had the opportunity to be promoted. You have unique opinions on salt and iron. If... If he really went, you You should be a capable minister, so you don't have to worry about your future. It's just that Lord Sang needs to be more careful during this palace confinement. You have worked with Zhang Tingwei for a long time, so what do you think of Zhu Maichen?"

Zhu Maichen?

Isn't that a minister who is old and successful?

Sang Hongyang didn't know why Chen Ajiao suddenly asked him, so he had no choice but to answer under doubt: "This person is a Confucian scholar, and it is said that his conduct is first-class."

He can only use the word "rumored" - Sang Hongyang is too smart, Chen Ajiao thinks this person is simply a mix of human beings, I really don't know how he got off as a petty official all these years from.

Sang Hongyang is very popular among the officials. He is diligent and self-disciplined. Although he is strict, he is better than Zhang Tang.

He didn't say what he thought of Zhu Maichen, but he answered Chen Ajiao with other people's words. He didn't know whether it was because Chen Ajiao's question was too trapping, or because Sang Hongyang actually had other opinions about Zhu Maichen—but no matter what he said, I think the current statement is the most moderate and safest.

The master father Yan didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly gnawed on his fingernails.

Chen Ajiao glanced at him, but ignored him, and continued to say to Sang Hongyang: "Then please Sang Shizhong pay more attention to this person."

In the end, Chen Ajiao didn't say much, she didn't even say anything to Zhufuyan alone, but it was rather strange to let Zhufuyan stay before - Sang Hongyang glanced at Zhufuyan when he retreated.

The master father put his hands behind his head, yawned and walked: "You must be wondering why Your Highness the Queen wants to keep me?"

"Indeed." But now Sang Hongyang suddenly understood.

"What she said to me was actually for you, but she thought that if I knew about it, it might be good for her purpose, so she let me stay by the way and told me about it , so I will have a feeling of being valued, and I will not rebel even more. And your father, Yan, is extremely smart, and you are Her Royal Highness's confidant, so you can easily know what she is thinking."

Sang Hongyang's analysis is very reasonable, and the master father Yan couldn't help but sigh in admiration, but after sighing, he shook his head again: "It's just that I don't understand, what is so worthy of attention about this Zhu Maichen."

At this time, Sang Hongyang had a premonition, and he walked out of the palace: "I always feel that something might happen, maybe—"

"You are just disgusting, why do you have to cut off half of your words and throw them away like Sima Qian?" Zhu Fuyan hates others' secretive words the most. Talking to others is already tiring enough on weekdays. These few are also confidantes and friends , so you don't have to cut half of what you say, right?

Sang Hongyang still shook his head: "I have never dared to guess about things related to Zhang Tang, because from the time I knew His Highness, what Zhang Tang did was always beyond my expectations."

"You made it sound like everything Zhang Tang did before was within your expectations." The master father Yan was mocking Sang Hongyang, but Sang Hongyang didn't feel anything, so he just smiled and passed.

What he cares most about is: "Zhang Tang has done many things since then, but I think... some things are really..."

"It's too bad." The master father added this sentence.

So Sang Hongyang turned his head, and at this time he had reached the gate of the palace a few steps, and standing there, he said to the master father Yan: "In this world, since ancient times, there is no poison and no husband, let alone a person who assists the emperor's hegemony? It's harmless for Zhang Tang to be ruthless, it's just that if he is too ruthless, he will lose his humanity in the end, and I always think his ruthlessness...is a bit strange."

"The case of King Huainan involved so many people that he was involved in thousands of cases. He actually let all of them be killed. Afterwards, there will be chaos in King Zhao. I'm afraid that if it wasn't for His Highness the Queen who wanted to protect Dou's family, let alone the whole family of King Zhao. , even if it is Dou's family, Zhang Tang can still kill them."

The master father said one sentence at a time, "Such a person is too ruthless, it seems to be very bad."

Sang Hongyang finally stopped talking.

Looking back, this long piece of Weiyang Palace seems to be shrouded in dark clouds.

Chen Ajiao was sleepy, so she just lay down beside Liu Che, asked the palace servants to bring up another quilt, covered it up by herself, and looked at the unconscious Liu Che, his babbling was intermittent, sometimes Chen Ajiao could hear I understand a few intermittent words, some are continuous sentences, and more often it is just a vague voice. I only know that he is talking, but I don't know what he is talking about.

She was already extremely tired, Xiao Fusheng nestled between her and Liu Che, and gradually fell asleep, everything was so quiet, she actually somewhat enjoyed this time... Even though, this was the most dangerous night.

The imperial doctor said that there will be no signs, and there is no need to do anything. If you can get over it, it will be a smooth road, and you will not get through...

She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. She held Liu Che's hand, and heard him calling Sister Ajiao again in a trance.

The dream is blurry, and some can't tell the difference. It is a wedding scene. In the picture, Liu Che and himself in wedding clothes...

I don't know whose fiery lips kissed her, and there was a dry and hot breath in the air. Chen Ajiao suddenly couldn't breathe, her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes from the dreamlike illusion, but only felt two dry lips. Rubbing on her own lips, a tongue with a deep bitter taste came in. It was extremely bitter, drawing body fluid from her mouth.
