Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

There were two people in the room. One woman was sitting at the table, looking at the candles in a daze, and the other was facing away from me, looking at the house in a boring way. And his back is somewhat familiar.

Before I think about it, the people at the table have stood up and said to me happily, "Green baby."

"Yuer!"

Standing in front of me is my good sister Song Yuer! I laughed happily, and hurried over to hold her hands, "It's you!"

She smiled and said, "Not who I am!"

"Why did you come to me suddenly?"

"We are looking for you."

"you guys……"

I listened, feeling something faintly in my heart, looking up at the person who was always facing away from us. That was a thin man. Although he only saw the back, and he was also in a coarse cloth, there was a familiar and elegant atmosphere coming towards him.

Then the man slowly turned around.

"Mrs. Qingying, it's been a long time."

The candlelight flickered in the room, but I recognized the familiar, but thin, face--

"Master Ning Yuan ?!"

The man in front of him turned out to be Liu Yi's proud student, Wei Ningyuan!

At first he was separated from him in Yangzhou, and he had hurried away for several years. He only knew that he continued to govern Jiangnan after Huang Tianba left, but the emperor and I knew that they could stand against Shen Gongyu. Those who suppress the South have also kept Jiangnan safe in the past few years. He has made a lifeless contribution to the heavens.

This time the Jiangnan Civil Revolution, I also heard about the accident in Yangzhou, just because I was worried about leaving, I did n’t ask about it carefully. What kind of role did he play in it? Now he suddenly saw him appear in me In my home, there really is a feeling of being like another world.

Wei Ningyuan shook his sleeves and saluted at me, and I hurried back to him.

Lier also came in at this time, blinking and looking at the three of us with big eyes, I smiled and said to her: "Lier, mother wants to talk to the guest about important matters, you go into the inner room for fun, okay?"

Lier nodded and said obediently: "I see, mother."

Having said that, he put the tea cup on the table and lifted the curtain and went in.

When I looked back, I saw Wei Ningyuan and Yuer both looking inside. The two did not speak, but their eyes flickered with the candlelight, and I could feel the turbulence in their hearts.

But now, I have bigger questions I want to ask them.

"How are you two together?"

Yuer looked at Wei Ningyuan and said, "Actually, my eldest brother has been with me for more than a year."

"Oh?" I was startled. "The last time you came, why didn't you tell me?"

Yuer didn't say anything, but Wei Ningyuan was silent for a long time, looking like she was using words. After a while, finally said gently: "We dare not."

I didn't answer for a while, just walked slowly and sat at the table.

Recalling the last time she was still in Pei Yuanxiu's mansion, Yuer suddenly came to visit me, and then said a few words and then left. At that time, I already felt a little strange, especially when she met me when she met me and stopped talking Look, and dodge look, I have felt wrong for a long time, but I never thought that they would be on the way.

After being silent for a while, I looked up at them both: "You tell me, what is going on?"

Yu'er opened his mouth first and said, "Actually, the last time I saw you, I wanted to tell you. After I left Jinling, I went all the way to Yangzhou, but in Qishan Village, not far from here."

Unexpectedly, Yuer actually lives in Qishan Village. Every time we go to the market.

It's just that it's wrong and never met.

Speaking of which, the world is really big, but it is really small.

Yu'er went on to say: "It was only over a year ago that I met the elder brother. At that time he was badly injured, as if someone was still arresting him."

I was shocked and looked up at Wei Ningyuan.

In the dim light, Wei Ningyuan's Qingjun's face seemed very calm. Only the swaying candlelight reflected his eyes, and he could see that his heart was not as he was. He sat slowly across from me, and I whispered, "What happened?"

Wei Ningyuan glanced at me and lowered his voice, "Mrs. Qingying should remember."

"..."

"That was when Jiangnan changed hands."

"..."

I can't speak.

I also understand why he said "Dare" just now.

"At that time, officials of the Yangzhou government were killed almost half, and even a few clerks could not escape. Pei-" he said, as if he remembered something, looked at me, and looked at After looking at the blue curtain across the back room, he whispered softly, "All the people who remained afterwards were attached to the former Prince."

I was silent, only a moment before I said gently: "Is it ..."

This is the method and process of Pei Yuanxiu winning Yangzhou.

Vaguely remembered that the news of the Jiangnan people's chaos was received near the Juma River Valley. Although it was only two words, everyone understood that the method behind it was absolutely impossible.

This is why the situation in Yangzhou is so special now. Because all the officials in the state government who were unwilling to surrender were killed and the survivors were already surrendered, but these people still have the appointment of the court, but they have acted in full accordance with Pei Yuanxiu's intentions. The emperor is far away, and they can all violate the yin and the imperial court.

However, I have no way to imagine that the man in white clothes, who is like a fairy, will be gentle and caring to me, and Pei Yuanxiu will be in Jiangnan.

When I was silent, Wei Ningyuan kept looking at me.

He is a very gentle man, possessing the elegance and uniqueness of Jiangnan talents. But now, his eyes are no longer as clear as before, but he always has a deep look in his depth.

These years have not been peaceful for him.

After a while, I looked up at him and said, "Since he-since Yangzhou officials have been killed so much, how did you escape?"

Wei Ning Yuan said: "Originally, I could not escape, but Huang Ye left a person for me before he left Jiangnan, and it was he who rescued me from the edge of the sword, so that I could escape the day of birth."

"who is it?"

"Money five."

"Qian Wu?" It was the young man who had been following Huang Tianba, and I hurriedly asked, "What about others?"

The light in Wei Ningyuan's eyes dimmed. He looked at me. After a long silence, he shook his head gently.

I just felt my heart twitching: "He--"

Wei Ningyuan didn't open his mouth, and the room calmed down, but a heavy pain spread in the quiet air.

After a while, I said with a dumb voice: "What happened after Qian Wu saved you?"

"I was seriously injured at that time, and was hunted down by the state government. Thanks to Yuer who saved me." Yuer nodded beside him, and Wei Ningyuan continued: "She also helped me escape the officers and men. Later, during the chat, I realized that she also recognizes you. I healed her wounds in her home and became a sibling with her. I originally wanted to leave Yangzhou and rush to Beijing, but found that the way out of the city has been controlled. We simply There is no way to go north. "

"What happened then?"

I don't believe Wei Ningyuan has been so scared.

Wei Ning Yuan said: "So, we plan to go west, go down the road and go to Beijing again, even if we can detour, as long as we can leave. Who knows that there is another bandit on the other side of Jiujiang, who robbed us, and stopped us The way. "

I frowned and didn't speak.

"So we can only stay still for a while, but Yuer often goes to Yangzhou to visit the situation and find a way. As a result, she saw your portrait in Yangzhou."

Yu'er continued: "But my elder brother said that the Yangzhou government is already the power of the former prince. Since Yangzhou government posted your portrait, it is naturally that he is looking for you, so I dare not act lightly. Until later I heard that you seem to have crossed the river, and you should have been by the ex-prince, so my brother asked me to visit you. "

I nodded.

"However, that place was under the influence of the former prince. I was afraid that if they knew the elder brother's whereabouts, then things would be troublesome, so I didn't dare to tell you clearly. I just kept asking about your news and waiting for you to leave. Brother, dare to come out and meet you. "

No wonder, before she left, I said that I hope our sisters can have a long talk in the future. She will say the inexplicable phrase "Are you still here"? Because she always hopes that I can leave there and get out of Pei Yuanxiu's sight. Range.

I said, "However, I have been in Jixiang Village for several months. Why are you here now?"

They glanced at each other but did not speak.

I frowned slightly and felt something wrong: "What's wrong?"

Wei Ningyuan raised his head and looked at the door. The expression on his face was a little more solemn: "Did you not notice that someone has been staring at you in secret?"

"...!"

I was shocked in my heart: "You know that."

Wei Ningyuan nodded: "It looks like you found it."

"Is it the former Prince?"

"Before, we were also skeptical, since Yuer and I have been following you since I heard you crossing the river, only to find that there are still another group of people staring at you secretly. The track is very suspicious. Before, we have Suspicious of the former prince, so dare not approach or recognize you. "

I seemed to hear something and looked at him and said, "Well, you are here now because you already know that those people are not his men?"

"Mrs. Qingying, you should know that, too."

Wei Ningyuan looked at me quietly.

I didn't speak for a while.

Indeed, from all the indications, those who spied on me in secret were not like those sent by Pei Yuanxiu, and now they both appear this way, which is even more affirmative.

As a result, the haze in my heart became even more intense.

Not Pei Yuanxiu, who are they?
