Chapter 582 Love (two chapters in one)
Chai Yan was stunned. The forces behind Jin Wu have done so many things deliberately. They really think that King Duan is the future wise king. Do they want to support King Duan to take the throne?
impossible!
Among the four princes, Duan Wang has the highest military achievements and is also the easiest to be impulsive and irritable.
He is not suitable for sitting on the dragon throne, but he is a suitable knife, a knife that is scrambled by brothers and a knife that disrupts the situation.
Chai Yan sat up and said to Yan Xuehuai: "I'm sorry, Sister Huai, I still can't accompany you tonight. I'm going to enter the palace now."
Yan Xuehuai stretched out his hand and said in the gentleest voice she thought: "You won't sleep and wait for you to come back."
Chai Yan was moved and kissed her cherry lips: "Be good, you rest early, I will come back when you wake up."
"No, I have to wait." Yan Xuehuai said in a pinched her throat.
Chai Yan's tense expression finally calmed down for a night. He laughed and pinched Yan Xuehuai's nose with his fingers and said, "I'm going to be a mother, I'm still so naughty."
"You go quickly, the child's father." Yan Xuehuai pushed him with a smile.
Chai Yan took Yan Xuehuai into his arms and hugged him hard, and then he left reluctantly.
Walking out of the mansion, the cool night breeze blew across his cheeks, blowing away the deep affection in Chai Yan's chest. He looked up at the stars in the sky. Tonight, it was destined to be another sleepless night.
After seeing Chai Yan off, Yan Xuehuai fell asleep. Why didn’t he sleep when he came back? The scumbag wife just coaxed the beautiful husband.
The next day, Yan Xuehuai slept until midnight. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to ask the prince if he had come back.
The sound of dill is like a yellow oriole in the early morning, which makes people feel happy: "The prince is still in the palace, but the prince asked the royal kitchen to make breakfast for the princess, and the agate is being fed back. Now it's burning on the stove."
Yan Xuehuai felt sweet in her heart. She remembered that there was an assassin in the palace on the New Year's Eve when she first arrived in the capital. The people in the capital were panic, but Chai Yan did not show up for several days.
Compared to that time, Chai Yan is more responsible and knows how to take into account the feelings of his closest relatives around him.
Yan Xuehuai's tongue and stomach had been tricked by Li Qiniang. In addition, she had a bad appetite these days and had eaten very little. However, today's breakfast food was the most she had eaten in many days. She ate almost all the food she sent from the palace.
It was shocked by the nanny sent from the palace and hurriedly asked the maid to help the princess walk around the garden.
Yan Xuehuai did not refuse, she asked Dill to accompany her to the garden.
From a distance, I heard the little girl laughing and cheering, Nuannuan and another little girl named Dong'er were playing shuttlecock.
Yan Xuehuai did not disturb them. She sat on the stone bench and watched the little girl play shuttlecock. At this moment, Mu Xiang trotted over, alarmed Nuannuan and Dong'er. The two were shocked, took the shuttlecock and came to greet the princess.
Yan Xuehuai waved his hand and signaled them to play elsewhere, saying to Mu Xiang: "What's wrong with running so fast?"
Mu Xiang looked around and saw that the two little girls had run away and the princess had only dill beside her, so she said, "Princess, my uncle, let Tang Long come to report to you, and the border war has begun."
Yan Xuehuai was shocked, stood up and asked, "Has Tang Long left?"
Mu Xiang nodded: "He has left. He came here to deliver the letters and he has to go to the academy again."
Yan Xuehuai breathed a long sigh and finally started a war. The relationship between the Great Wei and the Tatla was like a full bow, and a war was imminent.
Chai Yan came back at noon. It’s good to be young. He didn’t close his eyes a day and night, but he was still energetic.
Yan Xuehuai smiled and joked: "It seems that the talk is good?"
Chai Yan pinched Yan Xuehuai's hand: "Let's talk about it when you enter the house."
When he returned to the house, he shut down the person who served. Chai Yan said, "After I entered the palace, after I read the confession, I asked someone to call my third brother into the East Palace overnight. The third brother didn't even read the confession. He just heard from me that he was so angry that he wanted to participate in this case. The eldest brother asked him to think about why those people chose him instead of others."
"Have he returned home?" Yan Xuehuai asked.
"No, he just squatted under the porch, squatted for half an hour, and then came over to say to his elder brother, because he was the most honest, he was bullied...hahaha!"
Yan Xuehuai...
Who said Duan Wang was stupid? Duan Wang was indeed impulsive and irritable, but he was definitely not stupid.
Yan Xuehuai did not ask about the following matters. If the prince had a thorn in his heart, no matter what King Duan said, high-profile or low-key, the thorn would exist, and it would become sharper and sharper, until it pierced the blood and feelings of a mother's compatriot.
Today, Chai Yan did not go to the imperial prison again. He only slept for an hour and then went to the Ministry of Justice.
Yan Xuehuai felt relieved and remembered the matter between Shihong and Tao. She called Shihong over and said, "Mrs. Tao told me that she wanted to redeem you. She wanted to take care of you in the future. What did you think?"
Zhihong looked calm and said, "She has no money, and her money belongs to the Tao family. She is the Tao family's wife, but I am not the Tao family's daughter, so I don't want to be her burden."
Besides, I have hands and feet and don’t need to be taken care of by others. I also want to serve the princess to translate books. I think life is good now.”
Yan Xuehuai understood the meaning of Zhihong. It was not that she didn't want to redeem herself, but that she didn't want Tao to redeem her.
Even if the Tao family can accept her daughter who suddenly emerges and allows her to live in the Tao family, her situation in the Tao family is very embarrassing.
She was fifteen or sixteen years old, not five or six years old.
When she went to the Tao family, she could only rely on the Tao family. It would be best to find a family that didn't care about her once a slave to marry her, and to go from relying on the Tao family to rely on another family. She would be lucky to have a few more children like the Tao family, and gain a foothold in her husband's family.
If she stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion, in Yan Xuehuai's opinion, she was a job, and she could do this job until she was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she could do it until her retirement like those nannies.
Like her, she has no maid from her family, and even if she gets married in the future, the princess will be her backer. Moreover, the princess is likely to be the princess who decides for her. Her husband is either a servant in the mansion, a person in the farm or a shop. In short, they will be a person who knows the truth.
"Princess, I have known since I was a child what I can fight for and what I cannot fight for. I can meet Mrs. Su, and I can be attracted to by the princess. Now I know that my mother lives a stable life. I feel that I have used up all my life's good luck and I am content."
"Okay, I understand. You mother and daughter are having each other, you go and see her." Yan Xuehuai said in a faint tone, but she felt infinitely moved in her heart.
The fate between people is very wonderful. Even if they are as close as mother and daughter, they are still in a poor relationship, just like in the previous life, she and her mother.
The nanny sent to the palace to serve the pregnancy was not used in the royal palace. Tao was waiting for Shi Hong's reply.
When Shihong told her that she didn't want to redeem herself or live with her, Tao was once very sad. She lay in bed for a day and thought about it all day. In the evening, Shihong brought the meal she made herself.
Shihong's cooking skills were still as good as she was when she was a child, but Dow ate very well, and she ate tears together with the food, so she ate no left.
She remembered many things, and the despair and pain she felt when she found out she was pregnant. She jumped down from a high place, and even deliberately angered the man, trying to use his hand to knock down the piece of meat in her belly.
But in the end, she gave birth to the man's child.
The child's nose and mouth were all following the demon, and he didn't look like her except his eyes.
She gave birth to the baby a few days ago, and her mother-in-law asked her to work. She was full of resentment. Seeing her crying daughter, she suddenly reached out and covered her mouth and nose tightly... In the end, she still couldn't make up.
As her daughter grows up day by day, she will pull on the corner of her clothes and call Ah Niang. When she is beaten, she will kneel down and beg the man not to beat her. When she is in a good mood, she will use burnt branches to teach her daughter to write and recognize words on the ground. Her daughter's intelligence surprised her and made her even more painful.
Until that day, the man locked her in the woodshed and let several creditors insult her...
The man and several creditors went out to drink with their arms around each other, and she lay in a daze on the ground, without any trace of her body.
The little girl came in quietly and covered her with a torn quilt...
She could tolerate the humiliation of the beasts, but she could not face her daughter's eyes.
Her most embarrassing and most unbearable look was reflected in the little girl's eyes and heart. As she grew older, not only did she not forget it, but was engraved in the depths of her memory.
Dow exhaled a long breath and she figured it out.
Zhihong doesn’t want to face her, and she doesn’t want to face Zhihong either.
There are too many humiliations and indignation between them, mother and daughter.
Tao reached out and stroked his daughter's hair, which was combed in a tidy hair, and said in a happy voice as much as possible: "Write me when you have time, and tell me when you want to get married. Although the princess is young, she is very transparent. If you follow the princess, you should listen, watch, and learn more. No matter when the time comes, people with ability are different, and women are the same."
Shihong gently held Tao's other hand: "Thank you, you taught me to write and recognize words back then."
"You have more skills than Ah Niang, and you have read all your books in vain." Tao sighed.
"My mother taught me, but I didn't read it in vain." Zhihong comforted.
Tao smiled, this time he really smiled, and his smile reached his eyes.
The next day, Tao came to say goodbye to Yan Xuehuai. Seeing that her expression was no longer depressed, Yan Xuehuai knew that the entanglement that lies in the mother and daughter's heart was gone.
"If you leave one more person, I will arrange someone to take you back." Yan Xuehuai said with a smile.
Tao did not refuse. If no one gave her, she would really not be able to go back.
Yan Xuehuai picked Nuannuan’s parents, namely Song Er and Song Er’s wife, and sent Tao back with two guards.
I heard that Zhihong's mother was going back, and all the maids and mothers in the palace, who had some friendship with Zhihong, gave gifts. Even the nanny with identities sent the little girl to send gifts.
The gifts given by everyone were not expensive. Some were a bag of tea, some were a piece of cloth, and some were a purse and handkerchief made by herself. Tao was very moved and worried that Zhihong would not accept it. She took ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Saochen. After she left, she gave the silver to Zhihong and asked Zhihong to invite everyone to drink and gather together.
Zhou Saochen heard that there was wine to eat, so he was willing to help. She also gave gifts to Tao, but her gifts didn't cost money. She asked Xiaoman for a few books, which included annotations written by Xiaoman.
Zhou Saochen said: "Our uncle is the reincarnation of Wenquxing. Someone on the street is offering a high price to buy the useless manuscripts he wrote. Do you think your son will also read in the future. If you keep these books for them, it is also good to share with Wenquxing's fairy spirit."
Tao read books when she was young, and she just read them and felt like she was getting a treasure. The notes on the book were obviously from the guidance of a famous teacher. She had heard Zhou Saochen say before that the princess's younger brother was in the A-class class of Lihua Academy and studied under the world-famous Mr. Lu Er.
Dow took these books carefully as treasures, and they also packed a pair of shoes made by Shi Hong himself.
Obviously, this pair of shoes was not made in one or two days. Zhihong must have started making them as early as when she returned to the capital. Her needle and thread were not good, and the shoes were not exquisite, but every stitch and thread was sewn by her. For Dow, this is the most precious gift.
After seeing off Dow, the case finally made a new breakthrough.
In addition, the two officials also confessed that their situation was similar to the one from the Ministry of Revenue, but also different.
They all have the handles that are held by Jin Wu.
One of them was greedy and accepted bribes, and the other one was interesting. He actually had an affair with his widowed sister-in-law and gave birth to a son. He first raised him outside. When the child was three or four years old, he adopted the child back in the name of inheriting the incense of his deceased brother, and invited the elders of the clan to open a ancestral hall. He recorded the child in the name of his deceased brother and raised him by his widowed sister-in-law.
Everyone in the clan praised his kindness and righteousness as his younger brother. Now that child is eleven years old and is often brought by him.
Even his wife didn't know about this, but when Jin Wu said it, he knew it very well and someone had proved it!
These two people are greedy and the other is contrary to human relations, and they are not good people.
Some people in their family were also poisoned and needed Liulang's monthly antidote to survive. One was the corrupt official himself, and the other was the son who was raised by his nephew.
It is conceivable that in order to conceal their scandal and to the monthly antidote, the two of them did a lot of things according to Jin Wu's orders, even including spying on the whereabouts of the prince.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, the prince was attacked three times, all three times outside the capital. Although he was able to escape danger every time, he had never caught the commander behind the scenes. The ones sent to attack were all dead soldiers, and those who failed to hit the attack committed suicide.
This is also the reason why the prince has stopped leaving the capital in the past two years. Even the matter of checking the military camp was handed over to King Duan and Chai Yan.
But these three people, like Wang Zhong and Lulu, were not familiar with Jinwu.
Among them, the one who has the most contact with Jinwu is Wang Zhong, nicknamed Erlaizi.
Jin Wu also had another identity in front of him.
