Lao Mo took the brown tassels and looked carefully at the way the tassels were knotted. They had a rather exotic tone. They were not as smooth and fine as those from the Central Plains, but rather rough.
"We have seen Prince Daying come to the court many times to meet, and we have seen similar jade pendant knots on his waist. It is the craftsmanship of Daying. Didn't you see the Queen? Did you bring back the red rabbit and the earrings alone?"
"When Qian Chan went there, the figure of the Queen had disappeared. Only the red rabbit and horse were left, and the red rabbit was spinning around the ears." Qian Chan said, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, "The Lord handed the Queen over to Qian Chan. Chan, Qian Chan lost the queen in the palace, Qian Chan deserves to die!"
"Okay, okay! Isn't it chaotic enough? You even mentioned the word "death"!" Mo Gan was very angry, "Send people to Daying quickly to search and rescue people! Rescue people completely intact! What if there is someone? What went wrong, even if I know about it, I won’t be able to rest in peace! If the empress has her shortcomings, how can our family be worthy of our lord!"
"Yes!" Qian Chan replied.
Lao Mo said in the emperor's ear: "Sir...we have lost Lord Jin..."
But it's no use.
Lao Mo was crying, even losing the person he cared about most couldn't wake him up.
Lao Mo and Lao Xue, as well as Su Zhe, Shen Zishu, and Xue Yuzhen were in charge of the overall situation. They hurriedly brought Fu Changlin and Fu Changyi back from Lishan, and asked Fu Changlin to put on the dragon robe and ascend the throne overnight to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Since then, the Su family, the Xue family, and the Shen family have become the largest aristocratic families in Beijing.
Hundreds of officials knelt in the hall to worship the new emperor. The lama offering sacrifices outside blew a solemn horn. Chang Lin ran around the pillars in the main hall, the small bell on his wrist kept ringing. The wet nurse Zhao Jieer looked at Chang Lin in the back hall. I was afraid that Changlin would fall.
It took Lao Mo several arrests before he caught the child and pressed him on the throne. He whispered: "It will be fine soon. Your Majesty, please bear with me for a while."
Chang Lin, who was less than four years old, sat on the dragon chair and said confusedly: "I want my mother-in-law, I want my father... I don't want to sit on the dragon chair, these uncles are so scary... I want my mother-in-law," I want my father...where is my brother, where is my grandmother..."
"After these uncles kowtow to you, you can go back to the palace to play with your brother." Old Mo coaxed Chang Lin softly, "Hold on."
***
When Wen Jin woke up, he was already in Daying Palace, in the southwest, bordering Guangli Nanfan.
It has been three months since Wen Jin arrived, and Wen Jin has not said a word. She is pregnant with the emperor's posthumous child, and because her body and mood are not good, she suffers from morning sickness.
Nangong Jue gave her abortion pills, and the baby was lost after only one month. It was like a severe menstrual cramp, and she had bleeding for several days. Her body did not suffer too much, but her heart was extremely traumatized because she had a miscarriage after her husband left. , which intensified her sadness, and she seemed to be speechless.
The doctor who was taking care of her was hesitant and always wanted to say something to her but didn't dare to say it directly.
Nangong Jue said that it was because the doctor said that her body was not suitable for childbirth. He did it for her health, not because she could not tolerate Fu Jingheng's child.
Nangong Jue's women all thought that she was mute, and when she came to provoke trouble, she could not get a response from Wen Jin, so she often returned disappointed under Nangong Jue's scolding.
I have been grounded for three months. I was abducted. Or rather, I was kidnapped.
Only then did I realize that when I was in the Winter Garden, the king was really not imprisoning me, but protecting me.
Nangong Jue said that she was the most beautiful girl from the Central Plains he had ever seen. He fell in love with her at first sight in the waterside building of Guangli Palace and could not forget her ever since. He hoped that she would marry him and be his official wife. He would not use her to blackmail anyone in Guangli. , and also said that after the Guangli Kingdom is captured, she will be reunited with her relatives.
Wen Jin believed that if he captured Guangli, his two young sons would never end well. Wen Jin waited every day for Guangli to win a great victory and captured Daying.
Because he loved her, he abducted her from her home and brought her to Daying, and then imprisoned her in a crowd of strangers who spoke Daying dialect around her, so that she could not be reunited with her relatives, and then he killed her unborn child. Ridiculous.
Every day she spent in Daying felt like she was in purgatory. She missed Fu Changlin and Fu Changyi, and she dared not think about Fu Jingheng again.
And she also deeply realized that what she wanted was not marriage, but a marriage to Fu Jingheng. She felt that marriages that others could easily get were not precious at all.
Nangong Jue singled out 20,000 Guangli people to death. When he showed off to his subordinates, he said that he and his subordinates were competing to see who could kill more Guangli people.
Wen Jin's hair stood on end. After not seeing him for several years, he had grown more rugged and savage. His arms were much thicker than a few years ago, and his face was more resolute and terrifying.
Wen Jin didn't speak for three months, but he was still very patient. Wen Jin tried to escape many times, but was caught by Nangong Jue. He didn't beat her or physically abuse her, but put a collar around her neck and a chain.
She was tied up in the room and he led her to the toilet.
She hoped that this man from an enemy country would die violently. She could not appreciate his love at first sight. After wearing the humiliating collar for more than a month, Wen Jin became more honest, so he took off the chain.
In the troubled times of the war between the two countries, she seemed so small, and what she had learned throughout her life could not help her.
Finally, she tasted Daying's cold-water cod stewed with tofu. It turned out to be the taste of shame. She would never forget this taste for the rest of her life. She had never hoped that a man would not die well. She hoped that her admirer would destroy his family and his country!
Wen Jin temporarily gave up the idea of escape, and also thought that someone at home might come to save her, but she also felt that no one knew where she was, and she might be imprisoned in a foreign country for the rest of her life, left behind by the man who abducted her.
around.
The person who made the back of her neck tingle and knocked her unconscious was the person Nangong Jue placed among the vassal soldiers. Seeing that she was alone and sad after losing her lover, he took advantage of the chaos to transport her out of the palace along with the dead body and abducted her.
By flattering his master, the man was promoted to general.
There are many pastures here, as well as sand and gravel deserts. It is different from the complete desert in Mobei. There is no kind-hearted Granny Yang here, only enemy soldiers and enemy kings.
The border battle between Daying Cavalry and Guangli lasted for three months, and the stalemate was difficult to break.
Wen Jin heard something from the dialogue between Nangong Jue and his subordinates. Both sides were tired of fighting, and it was up to them to reconcile with themselves first, give up the war and retreat.
Wen Jin lived in a palace that was no different from the Guangli Palace. There was an old garden here, and there was a waterside pavilion in the old garden. Wen Jin still remembered that when Fu was still alive, his mother misunderstood that her character was not good and asked her to leave the palace.
The scene where she hides in the waterside pavilion and watches him secretly.
At that time, Daying Gou was walking with Fu, and her memory of the past was relatively clear. She remembered everything about Fu. She also remembered the last time they met before he was alive. She cooked his favorite wontons for him and fed him with her own hands.
Seven or eight.
Nangong Jue really built her a palace that was the same as the Guangli Palace. Wen Jin often walked along the waterside pavilion, anxiously hoping that the king would suddenly appear, hug her and tell her not to be afraid, he was there. But he did not suddenly
Appeared, never even dreamed.
It's nearly November, and although the weather in the southwest is warm, it's also a bit chilly. There have been a few winter rains, making it even colder.
Wen Jin was sitting beside the waterside building in a daze that day. She had not spoken for too long, and she had been immersed in the sadness of losing her lover for too long. In addition, she had lost a lot of weight due to miscarriage, and her energy and spirit were not very good.
Now, I'm just getting thinner, about eighty pounds.
"You are wearing thin clothes today." In broken Cantonese.
When Nangong Jue saw her, he was talking to her in her native language, with a very low posture. He knew that she hated him for tying her with a collar, but she kept running away. If he didn't do this, she wouldn't be afraid, and he
He didn't want to cause her physical pain, so he could only suppress her mentally to make her afraid and dare not run away again. He had no choice but to tie her because he liked her.
The doctor said that the child in her belly would not be able to hold the fetus at all. It would probably fall off naturally if she did not take medicine. He did not allow the fetus to be preserved. It was unnecessary. The dragon son of an enemy country was an enemy from birth.
Wen Jin heard that it was Nangong Jue who was coming. She looked back and saw that he hadn't come back for more than ten days. He must have just returned from killing Guangli people and Guangli troops on the battlefield. He was killing her compatriots while trying to please her. He was extremely ill.
.
She hoped that she would be killed by Guangli general Wang Mang, Wu Xin or Song Cheng on the battlefield, and then his internal organs would be picked out and thrown into the river to feed the fish.
She was not in the mood to play tricks with him to make him think she loved him and then kill him.
Her hatred for his country and family could not be hidden at all.
Wen Jin looked at his blood-stained spear, and a strong hatred welled up from the depths of his heart. Wen Jin only looked at him lightly, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, and then leaned his head on the pillar of the waterside pavilion.
, looking at the pool water in trance.
Nangong Jue put the spear on the wall and held a white and tender little rabbit in his big hand. He walked up to Wen Jin and handed it to her, "Do you like it? I saw it at the market when I came back and bought it specially for you.
So soft and cute, just like you."
Wen Jin said nothing.
"Do you know how difficult it is to find an opportunity to invite you to Daying? Brother Fu protects you too tightly. If he hadn't died and Guangli Palace hadn't been in chaos, you wouldn't have left the middle palace. I'm afraid you wouldn't be found.
Opportunity…”
Wen Jin still didn't answer.
"You can also use your talents in Daying, teach and educate people, do business, and do whatever you like. Gu can replace your deceased husband."
Wen Jin's hand sank, and the little rabbit jumped alive in her hand. She felt disgusted, and she flipped the rabbit on the ground and ran away. She remained silent.
"I saw your sister from a distance on the battlefield today. She was beside Wang Mang. She was very skilled and killed many of my soldiers. If you want to see her, capture her alone to accompany you!" Nangong Jue said slowly, "If
You talk to Gu, and Gu can tell his men not to kill her when they see her."
When Wen Jin heard him mentioning her little soldier sister Baoyin, her palms broke into cold sweat. She could no longer remain silent and spoke out, "Don't touch my sister. If you have anything to say, just say it."
She had not spoken for too long, nearly a hundred days, and her voice was hoarse.
