Qingjiang Yin

Chapter 25

After sending Ruan Fengxie to the mansion, Li Zhenyuan went all the way back to the general's mansion.Li Chongming went to the mansion first and had already rested.Li Zhenyuan didn't dare to disturb his father, the situation in central Beijing was changing these days, but fortunately the Li family is walking wisely and protecting themselves, so they don't need to disturb this troubled water.

The war in the north was startled day by day, and the battle situation changed rapidly. Within a few days, an edict ordering Li Zhenyuan to go to the north was issued.Li Zhenyuan received the appointment, packed his luggage, and was leaving Beijing soon. Han Shi came to say goodbye to him after hearing the news.

The two of them didn't talk about political affairs, but they had a drink. Before they had drunk three cups, a servant came to report in a hurry. It was the servant who often served Li Zhenyuan's side, named Qi Meng.

Seeing his panicked face, Li Zhenyuan asked him, "Why are you so panicked?"

Qi Meng glanced at Han Shi hesitantly, and Li Zhenyuan said, "Ziyin is not an outsider. Just say it."

Qi Meng then said: "General, when I went to Dongshi just now, I heard that the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion was sealed up."

"What?" Li Zhenyuan's drunkenness just now faded away, and he suddenly stood up from the stone bench, staring at Qi Meng with eagle eyes.

The young servant was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Zhenyuan, and flinched: "I didn't believe it before, so I went to see His Highness's mansion in person, and saw that the prince's mansion really had a big seal, so I didn't dare to delay a moment, and came to report to you."

"Impossible." Li Zhenyuan murmured, and Yuan Che's mansion was sealed off. After thinking about Yuan Che's antagonism with the Zhong Party, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger, and he couldn't help asking in a trembling voice: "Can you inquire about the fourteenth prince?" What's the matter?"

Qi Meng replied: "I heard from the servants who were dispersed in the Prince's Mansion that the Fourteenth Prince was taken away by a group of officials."

"This...what the hell is going on here?" Li Zhenyuan closed his eyes and opened them again, confirming that all of this was not his illusion, thinking that the person might have suffered in prison, his chest ached.All right, how could something go wrong?

He frowned, and waved his hand to Qi Meng: "You just step back."

Seeing his gloomy face, Qi Meng made a promise, and then retreated. Only Han Shi and Li Zhenyuan were left in the huge garden.

Han Shi's face was calm, seeing that Li Zhenyuan was no longer interested in drinking, he said, "The result of the fourteenth prince, I think the Holy Majesty will rule fairly, and Wen Yuan doesn't have to take this matter to heart. It's getting late, Shi will go first Farewell."

Li Zhenyuan was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, so he naturally did not object: "Ziyin, let's go, forgive me for not being able to send him away."

Li Zhenyuan made many inquiries and only knew that Yuan Che was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, but he didn't know what the crime was. Someone leaked out that the fourteenth prince had a conspiracy and was accused.However, this rumor is not true.

Li Zhenyuan was very worried, but he never even saw Yuan Che's face, and in a blink of an eye it was the night before he left Beijing.Li Zhenyuan did all these things secretly. If Yuan Che was really accused of treason, then he would be suspected of being a traitor if he had contacts with Yuan Che. Hundreds of families cannot be destroyed in his hands.

The city is full of people who want to curry favor with the General's Mansion, but he can't trust any of them.After much deliberation, he still asked Yuan Jing, and only his childhood friend could make him trust him a little.

Inside the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

"Wen Yuan," Yuan Jing looked at Li Zhenyuan fixedly, holding a drinking cup in his hand, but there was no smile on his face, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Li Zhenyuan looked at him without hesitation; "I know."

"Yuan Che is now charged with the crime of treason. His father issued an edict that all those related to him will be beheaded and killed, but you want to visit him? You don't want to die."

"Xuan Wu, I believe Yuan Che was wronged, he absolutely has no intention of treason."

"Hmph!" Yuan Jing sneered coldly: "You have only known him for how long, how dare you speak for him like this?"

Li Zhenyuan remained silent. In terms of acquaintance with Yuan Che, he is naturally inferior to Yuan Jing, and he also knows that he has deep roots in love for Yuan Che. He may not be able to see clearly what Yuan Che is like because he is in it, but he is such a heart. Infatuated, never let him go.

Outside the window is May in the world, and the sun is warm and windy, but inside the house is dull and deserted.The two confronted each other for a while, Yuan Jing's eyes dimmed, and finally sighed, "Forget it, you have always been so persistent, I should have known it earlier, and advised you to stay away from Yuan Che."

When Li Zhenyuan heard this, he knew that Yuan Jing was loose, and hurriedly said: "Xuan Wu, I know that Yuan Che was also raised by Concubine Lan, and grew up with you, just like a compatriot, don't you have any sympathy for him? "

"Yuan Che was indeed raised by his mother." Yuan Jing looked away, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "I used to be siblings with Yuan Xin and me."

He pulled out a wry smile: "But in the end, I'm afraid it's just our brother and sister's wishful thinking."

When Yuan Che was 12 years old, the concubine who raised Yuan Che died of illness, and Yuan Che was too young to leave the palace to build a mansion, so he was handed over to Concubine Lan to raise him.He is very tolerant, even if he is bullied, he will not say anything. When he first came to Concubine Lan's side, he was even more taciturn and unlovable.

Concubine Lan already has a son and a daughter, so she has no time to take care of him.Finally, when Yuan Che was 13 years old, he almost drowned in the palace and lost his life.But when he turned around, he kept the matter tight-lipped.

Yuan Jing still remembered the appearance of that young man at that time, black hair like waterfall, pale like snow, thin like paper, mouth pursed, just like in a painting, with a few strokes, but like a flying fairy, it also made people feel heartbroken.

Facing Concubine Lan's question, Yuan Che neither evaded nor answered.The drooping eyelashes cast two long shadows on his face, hiding the changing look in his eyes.

——He is only 13 years old, but he is already very much like the Ying Ji who shocked the palace back then.

From that year on, the Fourteenth Prince was no longer unknown.

Yuan Jing also learned some things later.He only met Yuan Che's biological mother when he was young, and even now when he thinks about it, he can only marvel at how beautiful she is, such a person shouldn't exist in this filthy world.

Ying Ji's original name was Xiao Yu, the daughter of Xiao Zhongming, the crown prince's tutor, and the prince's first wife.The sixteenth wedding of the prince, less than a year later, the situation in the court changed. The first emperor died, and the concubine took over the heir. He had to leave the imperial capital and hide his tracks.

In the seventh year of Deyou, the prince and his wife were reported by others, and they were escorted back to Beijing and imprisoned secretly.Four years later, in the spring of Deyou's 11th year, Xiao Yu entered the palace.Just because she was called Yinggu in her boudoir, the palace people called her Yingji.All those who know the truth of this are secretive about it.

And although Ying Ji has three thousand pets, she never smiles.

In the 18th year of Deyou, Yuan Che was born as the fourteenth son of Emperor Zhaosheng, but Yingji suddenly lost her favor. Three years later, Yingji hanged herself.

"Up to now, I am afraid that only Yingji and Father, who have already returned to the west, know the whole truth." Yuan Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Zhenyuan with apricot eyes, but there was no tenderness in it: "With such a life experience, It is not surprising that he is really a conspiracy. Since he entered Zongzheng Temple, there must be definite evidence."

After listening to this passage, Li Zhenyuan was already dumbfounded, and could only look at Yuan Jing.

"I've never been able to figure out his thoughts. He always seems to be indifferent. He is extremely cruel to himself and others. I don't know how many lives have been lost in his hands these years. No one dares to underestimate ten Fourth prince, but you actually fell in love with him, that really surprised me."

"You know these things, do you still want to see him?"

Li Zhenyuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yuan Jing with a heavy and firm expression: "Yes."

No matter who said Yuan Che, it wasn't his Yuan Che.He remembered the way he stared at him, the affection in his eyes, the smile at the corner of his mouth, the warmth of his palms, and the joy flowing in his heart when they cuddled each other.

If there is no Yuan Che in the world, even if he is alive, what is the difference between him and a walking dead?

He is not Dasheng's fourteenth prince, nor is he a sycophant who plays tricks and plays tricks. If he was such a vicious person, Li Zhenyuan would have been doomed long ago.

His Yuan Che is affectionate, faithful and courageous, and a gentleman. Isn't such a person worthy of Li Zhenyuan's risk for him?

He wants to see him, even if he disobeys his orders again and destroys his own future.Even if he wants Li Zhenyuan to be the leader.

Zongzheng Temple.

Yuan Che was sitting in the prison cell, with his black hair loose and wearing a prison uniform, he had long lost the vigor of a prince.He has been here for several days, as if he was completely forgotten, and no one was even interrogated.

Perhaps there was no need for an interrogation at all.A powerless and powerless prince is only a piece of imperial edict from the emperor.

A few days ago, he was the proud fourteenth prince, but a few days later, he became a prisoner, and an old book from the remnants of the previous dynasty was the evidence of his treason.

So what if you have a heart of rebellion, and what if you don't have a heart of rebellion?Born here, life is like duckweed, ups and downs in turbulent currents, falling from cliffs, never involuntary.

The emperor finally couldn't tolerate him anymore.Yuan Che thought this way, but he didn't feel panic anymore. After waiting for so many years, he didn't care about waiting a little longer.

He is no longer the unarmed, weak and bully toddler.From the day he decided to take revenge, he had put aside his emotions, love and hatred, greed, anger, ignorance and resentment had nothing to do with him.

Except - Li Zhenyuan.

If he hadn't felt unbearable at the beginning of the acquaintance, and hadn't fallen in love with Li Zhenyuan later, everything would have been completely different.But he never regretted it.Wouldn't it be great if he could keep him if he was willing to give up his body?

At the age of 13, he walked through the gate of hell, learned of his life experience, and decided to take revenge.

During this journey, his hands were already stained with blood. He fought with Emperor Zhaosheng, King Zhao, and the Zhong Party. The struggle for power ended in death.

Over the years, some people have been killed by him, and some people have died because of him. He dare not say that everyone deserves what he deserves, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. man of.

He has never felt love, and often only has hatred in his heart, only the indifference and cruelty of this world, everything is hidden under the indifferent appearance.In order to get revenge, I can only bear this hatred and guilt, and go on step by step, until there is no way to go, until the mountains and rivers are restored.

In the beginning, he was close to Li Zhenyuan because he was greedy for the military power of the general's mansion, but he never thought that in this world, besides his mother, there would be someone who treats him so sincerely, without seeking fame or fortune, without any scheme, just like this, simply doing nothing. Begging...love him.

Looking at the moonlight shining through the small tall window, Yuan Che thought silently, Wen Yuan, I just can't bear it, I can't bear you and me to fall into the boundless darkness together.Yuan Che owes you, I have walked this road for too long, and I am too lonely, so I yearn for your warmth.

"Zi Shen."

Yuan Che heard someone calling him, recovered from his contemplation, only felt that the voice was very familiar, his heart moved, he turned his head, and was looking at Li Zhenyuan, who was wearing a black uniform, walking quickly.

"Wen Yuan?!" Yuan Che exclaimed, looked at Li Zhenyuan, and hurriedly stood up: "Why are you here? No, you shouldn't be here!"

Li Zhenyuan stood still in front of Yuan Che. Through the fence of the cell, seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, he lightly pressed his fingertips on his emaciated cheek, and said with heartache: "Zi Shen, you are in prison, how can I not come?" look at you."

Yuan Che smiled wryly, and grabbed his hand: "I am a prisoner, and I have committed the crime of treason. The lives of those who have anything to do with me are in danger. Go back quickly, and don't let anyone know that you have come to look for me."

"I don't believe you have the intention of treason!" Li Zhenyuan said, grabbing Yuan Che's hand, "Zi Shen, tell me that you were wronged."

He looked into Yuan Che's eyes with a determined look on his face.But this firmness was gradually dissolved under Yuan Che's silent and cold gaze, turning into despair and disbelief.He let go of Yuan Che's hand and said in disbelief, "Are you really conspiring against me?"
