The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

Out of love and face, Shen's family still organized a simple funeral for Meng Xianglan. Meng Xianglan's family felt ashamed and refused to attend, so in the end they only sent three or two offshoots to make a fuss, and Shen Qiwen didn't make a big show of inviting guests , just buried Meng Xianglan quietly like this, and this matter is over.

From Shen Qiwen's point of view, she had done too many evils in her life, and now she has met with retribution after becoming an enemy, which is not worthy of pity at all, especially when he later accidentally learned that Meng Xianglan was responsible for the deterioration of his old mother's health. Shen Qiwen hated her even more, if he wasn't afraid of being criticized by outsiders, he wouldn't be bothered to hold her funeral.

The matter of Meng Xianglan here has just come to an end, and I don’t know which court lady passed the matter to the ears of Shen Zhaoan in the cold palace. Talking nonsense to herself, everyone guessed that she might not live long.

There was only one person left, Ye Qing didn't want to do it himself, so he sent one of his cronies to sneak into the palace to find out about Shen Zhaoan's life, but when that person arrived in the cold palace, he found that Shen Zhaoan had hanged himself. Almost squeezed out, the scene looked a bit tragic, so he had no choice but to go back and report the truth.

The next morning, when a court lady went to deliver breakfast, she found this scene and fell to the ground in fright. Soon, the news that Shen Zhaoan hanged herself in the cold palace gradually spread. Sad kind of pathetic.

This pair of mother and daughter died one after another, which is really surprising, but it seems that the court does not intend to continue to pursue this matter, or even the ruler of the dynasty thinks that these two deserve their crimes. To forget.

The new national law has been promulgated for some time. More and more women in the country are married to women and live a bright and free life, but this has caused dissatisfaction from another special group.

"Why does the emperor only allow women to be with women, but not men and men?"

"Yes, that's right, is it just because the emperor's own sister likes women that he treats them differently?"

"This is so unfair!"

"..."

Everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures, seek rights for themselves, and brought the matter to the Yamen together. In the end, they had no choice but to report the matter to the imperial court in the form of a memorial, and then hand it over to His Majesty for handling.

Xiao Qi originally thought it was a big deal, because a lot of memorials were sent to discuss the same thing these days, and after reviewing it, she added another article on the basis of the original national law without hesitation, that is, women and girls Brackets after marriage are applicable to both men and women.

In this way, the world will be peaceful.

People no longer have to secretly love each other because they can't see the light. The common people's emotional life is smooth, and they work harder and harder.

On the other side, Su Xiuyan traveled all night, occasionally stopping at the passing post station to replenish food and water, and soon continued to set off. After a few months, she finally entered the desert. The phenomenon of dryness and water shortage became more and more serious. Seeing that the water she carried with her was getting less and less, Su Xiuyan knew that she had to quickly find the boundary river that Zhaoxue had told her about, otherwise she might soon get lost in this deserted desert.

Horses are not used to life in the desert, and consume water very quickly. Fortunately, Su Xiuyan was lucky, and met a camel team. After asking, he found out that it was a team transporting goods between the two countries. Coincidentally, they were still Su Xiuyan, the supplier of Zhaoxue's rouge shop, revealed that she is Zhaoxue's good friend, and she is willing to exchange the remaining gold and silver jewelry on her body for a camel.

The camel caravan agreed to the deal, and after riding the camel with a water bottle, Su Xiuyan continued to march deep into the desert. Compared with horses, camels seemed to be born for the desert, and they could walk for many days without eating or drinking. And it is very suitable for the climate here.

After packing lightly, the speed of traveling was accelerated, and with the help of the map provided by Zhaoxue, Su Xiuyan had already discovered the boundary river when there was still water in the kettle on his body, and it looked like a trace from a distance. The silver belt in the desert winds and coils endlessly.

Su Xiuyan's eyes were shining brightly, her confidence was greatly increased, as if she could see Aria immediately, and hug her immediately. Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to speed up and stopped at the edge of the river, Su Xiuyan squatted down Go pick up the water, drink it without hesitation, everything is just as what Zhaoxue said, it started to work, the vision becomes blurred in front of the eyes, dizzy until dizzy, until I fall down, everything is according to the plan Proceeding, she expected to see the person she wanted to see as soon as she opened her eyes, Su Xiuyan closed her eyes, with a slight smile on her lips.

When she opened her eyes again, Su Xiuyan found that she was imprisoned in the big prison, which is the place mentioned by Zhaoxue. This place is specially used to detain people from the Central Plains who trespassed in the territory of Kucha. A jailer passed by, Su Xiuyan As if seeing an opportunity, Yan immediately lay down in front of the fence, "Brother, can I ask you something?"

Seeing that she was pretty, the jailer gave her face, "What's the matter?"

"When will someone interrogate me, your king or your princess?"

The jailer couldn't help laughing, "Don't think about it too much, the princess is very busy recently, and she is going to hold a big wedding with the neighboring prince. It's a pity that you were arrested at this time, and I'm afraid you will be locked up forever. "After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked away.

This sentence is like a thunderbolt hitting Su Xiuyan's forehead, what... Aria is going to marry the neighboring prince, why, does she not love herself, or has she forgotten herself? , Su Xiuyan couldn't accept it, her chest hurt like a knife.

At that moment, she felt like a fool, risking her life all the way to come here alone, only to get Aria's marriage news in the end.

The whole night Su Xiuyan hugged her knees tightly and sat in the corner. The guards in the prison came in and out, chatting and laughing. Su Xiuyan couldn't calm down at all. Out of the cage, now he just stepped into another cage.

As long as I think about the things I have experienced with Aria, the happy time I spent with her, and think of her about to marry a man, a prince, Su Xiuyan will feel difficult to breathe, there is really no way Are they all gone? She wants to meet her and ask her if she doesn't love herself anymore. If she says yes, then she is willing to let go.

After being imprisoned for a few days like this, Aria's marriage to the neighboring prince also came as scheduled.

Aria sat in the room and let the servants dress her up. In the mirror, she looked haggard and listless, with the prepared poison hidden in her cuff. She had already decided that after the worship, she would After taking this medicine, her mission will be completed, and her father will not be accused by the king of the neighboring country. She is unwilling to marry a man, and she can't imagine that she will spend the rest of her life with a man she has never met. The life of a man who lives together day and night.

This is the only way left, Xiuyan, I don't regret falling in love with you, Aria squeezed her cuffs tightly.

After dawn, today's jailer didn't come to deliver breakfast on time as usual, it seemed that he was late for a long time. The prisoners in the prison were all complaining and complaining that they were hungry. Su Xiuyan waited and watched calmly, maybe things could turn around.

At this moment, a group of jailers opened the door and came in, starting from the cages near the door and unlocking them one by one. The leader announced, "Today is the day when the princess is married and the whole country celebrates it. His Majesty the King hereby issues an order to pardon the world. You You can go!"

Hearing this news, many prisoners who had been imprisoned here for decades cried excitedly. They never thought that they would be able to leave here in their lifetime. They could finally go home and see their relatives whom they had not seen for many years.

Su Xiuyan was the last one to go out. She was in a very complicated mood. Before she left, she asked about the wedding venue. The jailer brother told her that the wedding procession would pass through the busiest street in the capital. in time.

Su Xiuyan nodded her thanks, raised her legs and rushed out, trotting all the way.

The streets were bustling, and the common people in the city lined up on both sides of the street in long lines to watch. Su Xiuyan tried her best to shuttle through the crowd.

The wedding ceremony will be held at the largest altar, which is related to their religious beliefs. After the meeting, the sedan chair in which the princess rides comes out of the palace. There are guards with knives guarding the front, back, left, and right sides. Even the sedan chair is sealed around. There was no figure inside, Su Xiuyan could see the team, but she couldn't see Aria's shadow, and Aria couldn't see herself either.

In this way, following the surging crowd, Su Xiuyan also went to the altar. The prince's team had been waiting here for a long time. Aria got off the sedan chair wearing the unique royal wedding dress of the Kucha Kingdom, and the floor was covered with long red carpets. The red wedding dress dragged across the floor, Aria's face was not happy, and her eyes were rather dull and numb.

The moment she saw her, Su Xiuyan began to lose her composure, and squeezed into the crowd and called her name, "Aria, Aria..." But these calls were drowned in the voices of the crowd and could not reach Aria's ears Here, the people were all excited to see Aria, nothing surprising, so naturally they couldn't attract Aria's attention.

Su Xiuyan had no choice but to think of another way. Fortunately, she knows martial arts, and lightness kung fu is not a problem.

When a new couple arrives, the high priest begins to pray. This is the first and most important step in the royal marriage process. All the subjects present should kneel down and pray devoutly. At this time, Su Xiuyan He jumped up and flew in front of Aria.

Aria was shocked, "Xiu..."

Before she had time to say a word, Su Xiuyan interrupted her, "Are you willing to come with me?"

"Of course I would." Aria cried with joy.

Su Xiuyan nodded and hugged her waist.

"Quickly stop them!"

But Su Xiuyan had already jumped into the air, and the soldiers were still one step too late.

The two fled to a temporarily safe place and hid, Aria tightened her collar, surprised, "How did you get here!"

Su Xiuyan hugged her waist tightly with both hands, "If I don't come, you will marry a stinky man."

Aria smiled shyly, "But... robbing a marriage is a capital offense, aren't you afraid?"

Su Xiuyan shook her head, "Not afraid."
