Drumming and opening the court to wash away the grievances
Qi Yan lay on the bed for three days. Fortunately, Gu Ruolan took good care of her, and Nangong Jingnu brought a lot of medicinal materials to Qi Yan before she left, which finally stabilized her injury.
Gu Ruolan's diagnosis was that Qi Yan was extremely distressed, and there had been a stagnation of qi in her chest before, and the collision of the two forces exceeded the limit of Qi Yan's body, so blood spurted.
Gu Ruolan brought the medicine and sat beside Qi Yan's bed: "Brother, I have taken the medicine."
Qi's face was expressionless, his lips were bloodless, he took the medicine bowl and drank it, and then returned to his previous state, his eyes were empty, and he sat sluggishly on the bed.
Gu Ruolan sighed softly and persuaded: "My grandfather once told me that if a person wants to live a long life, he should not be too sad or overjoyed. If his emotions fluctuate too strongly, he will hurt his body, and the damage of sadness is far greater than that of happiness. This man... If you want to live a long life, you must have no sorrow or joy, and your heart must be like still water."
Qi Yan lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Gu Ruolan continued to comfort and said, "Brother, although I don't know what happened, don't be so depressed, think about my sister-in-law, she is still waiting for your safe return in the capital, and my sister-in-law explained to me several times before leaving. , take good care of your body, you look like this... how should I explain to my sister-in-law?"
Qi Yan's lips moved, and she asked weakly, "How much time do I have?"
Gu Ruolan's heart sank, Qi Yan's physical foundation was not good, although the blood spurting out of her heart relieved the stagnation in her heart to some extent, but fundamentally it also hurt Qi Yan's vitality.
Chinese medicine believes that a person's vitality is limited, and it is related to a person's "essence, qi, and spirit", and every damage is almost irreversible.
Gu Ruolan: "Big brother..."
Qi Yan: "If you really think of me as a big brother, don't lie to me, let me know, arrange the rest of my time well, and don't let me leave this world with regrets."
Gu Ruolan heard Qi Yan's words, tears welling up in her eyes, she resisted it so she didn't lose her composure, and replied truthfully, "Big brother's body water disease is entrenched, and now it's hurting his vitality, water disease will resist the effect of medicine stone, if you can If you find a fire toad, you can first eradicate the water disease in the body, and then find a way to slowly adjust it to enjoy an ordinary life."
When Qi Yan heard the words, she burst into a pale and clear smile: "Don't coax me, I ask myself that I haven't had such a great fortune, and the legendary things are unpredictable, how to get them? You said how long can I last? "
Gu Ruolan: "My medical skills are superficial, even if I use all my strength and add the treasures of the inner court, if I can't find the fire toad to detoxify, eldest brother may not see the snow in the coming year..."
Qi Yan was silent for a long time, raised her hand and patted Gu Ruolan's shoulder, but comforted the other party: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in heaven. Don't be too concerned, please help me to go to the big tent. When I report to the Taiwei, I have done my best in the matter of Luobei, and I have no more achievements, and ask him to allow me to return to Beijing."
Gu Ruolan raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears, then got up and went.
The next day, Gongyanghuai dispatched a team of guards to escort Qi Yan and Gu Ruolan back to Beijing.
Gongyanghuai personally sent Qi Yan for nearly fifty miles. On the carriage, Gongyanghuai told Qi Yan what was conveyed in the family letter, and told Qi Yan: The court has changed, and you must be careful when you go back.
Jiaozhou City, since Agula left, Bayin returned to the city and was very drunk. He finally woke up and saw Jin Wushu standing beside the bed. Bayin was quite dazed for a while, then he sat up and faced Jin Wushu. Wu Shu said: "Your father... Since he is still alive, we will not avenge this revenge."
Jin Wushu: "Uncle Bayin, where is my father?"
Qi Yan had already informed Bayin that Jin Wushu and Qi Yuxiao were actually the children of Xiaodie, but the grasslands were not as dogmatic as the Wei Kingdom, and Jin Wushu was still the legitimate heir to the King of Zhanlihan.
The broken finger was painful, and Bayin's mind flashed through the time when he was young with Agula for a while, and the past when he was tortured and devastated by the Wei people. Bayin wanted to tell Jin Wushu the truth, but he The child's heart softened when he saw the amber eyes.
Bayin: "Your father has gone back... From now on you will really be the king of Khan who supports the plough. Now you are too young, and you can't control everything. When you are thirteen years old, you will marry a relative. , and then decide. The attack on Nanwei will be recorded first."
…
That night, Bayin took 10,000 plough-supporting warriors and left Jiaozhou City on the snowy night and set off into the depths of the grassland.
Bayin was holding Jin Wushu in his arms, and the icy cold wind blew his face. Bayin couldn't help but wonder: what would happen if he saw Agula again? Will it really cut off her head
The only one who answered Bayin was a sigh of his own.
Bayin has only one goal now, and that is to pull Jin Wushu to grow up. This child in his arms is the only hope for the plow department...
After all, the battlefield is dangerous. If you die in battle, who will protect Jin Wushu in the future? and…
Forget it, it’s better to retreat for the time being, it’s the last thing I can do for Agula.
…
Beijing.
The matter of Qian's announcement of the imperial status spread throughout the capital on the same day, and it also spread to the Gyeonggi area at a very fast speed.
When such a big incident happened, the head of the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to delay at all. On the one hand, he wrote down the documents to the prefectures and government offices to help find Qian Tong. , and handwritten another testimony and entered the palace.
The rank of the head of the Ministry of Punishment was not high enough to face the saint directly. Fortunately, he had Nangong Rang's imperial decree in his hand. After reporting it layer by layer, Qin De, the only remaining chief of the six departments, took the memorial and handed it over to the female emperor. .
Nangong Jingnv read the confession written by the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and opened the imperial decree to confirm: it is indeed the handwriting of the father, and the seal of the imperial jade seal is also true.
As for the other documents, Nangong Jingnv had long suspected that Qi Yan was the owner of the Sifang Qianzhuang. Nangong Jingnv knew exactly how much money the Sifang Qianzhuang gave to the court.
The imperial decree was laid out with the imperial decree and the confession written by the head of the Ministry of Punishment was placed side by side. Because there were many people present at the time, the Minister of Household did not dare to beautify the confession. The matter was so big that His Majesty could call witnesses at any time. On the contrary, he will be charged with deceiving the emperor, so the head of the Ministry of Punishment wrote the words of Qian Tongtang in the confession word for word...
"Little man Qian Tong, on behalf of the first master, Bei'an Hou Qiyan, Qi Yuanjun, sued the empress of the dynasty, Nangong Zhenzhen!"
"If the empress does not investigate, I will be wronged by my master, death and life are unknown, and the sky has no eyes!"
…
Nangong Jingnu read these words over and over again, and then looked at the familiar handwriting on the imperial decree. The images of her torturing Qi Yan in the heavenly prison suddenly flashed in her mind, and her heart trembled.
Nangong Jingnu's eyes were sour and swollen, and her vision was a little hazy. She murmured, "Since you have this imperial edict, why didn't you take it out earlier? Once this imperial edict came out...why did you suffer so much grievance? "
In an instant, Nangong Jingnu understood Qi Yan's thoughts: the imperial decree is not false, but Qi Yan's revenge is also true.
This imperial decree can whitewash everything in Qi Yan's past, but it deceived the courtiers and the people of the world, but it couldn't deceive the client.
Qi Yan understands this, and Nangong Jingnu also understands, so Qi Yan willingly bears all the costs after doing everything...
Nangong Jingnu's heart was full of mixed feelings. She suddenly felt that after the road of revenge for more than ten years, Qi Yan's inner torment and pain seemed to be much more than she imagined...
A tear swept across Juanli's face, Nangong Jingnu felt sorry for Qi Yan, and hated the manipulation of fate even more.
Those days and nights that bear everything alone, how painful and hard should Qi Yan be
Nangong Jingnv fell on the imperial case and sobbed, missing Qi Yan even more, but couldn't help but scolded: "Fool..."
Nangong Jingnu understood: Qi Yan didn't take out the imperial edict to escape because she felt sorry for herself.
That's why he refused to send Qi Yan away when he sent soldiers from Youzhou Prefecture to send Qi Yan away, because it was just a redemption.
Maybe... to redeem her Nangong Jingnu!
Nangong Jingnu sniffed and sat up straight. There are more things to do next!
Although this imperial decree is not good for his public opinion, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Qi Yan, a legitimate opportunity to restore his status as a royal husband!
Nangong Jingnu thought about it for a while, and felt that if the matter of restoring Qi Yan's identity was just brought up by herself, there would always be a sense of injustice. At the beginning of the dismissal of the emperor's husband, apart from Qin De's remaining five books, all of them agreed. If you want to completely solve the troubles, you must bring these people together.
I figured out that Nangong Jingnu immediately promulgated a decree, a decree that the courtiers tried all means and failed to obtain a few days ago: release the five ministers!
Nangong Jingnv told the inner servant that there was no need to let the five ministers come to express gratitude, and allowed her to go home, take a bath and change clothes, and come to the great court meeting tomorrow.
Although Nangong Jingnv did not say the reason for the sudden convening of the court meeting that officials above the fifth rank in the capital had to attend, but the matter of the court report was so big that almost all the courtiers heard the wind.
As a result, the mansions of the adults in the entire capital were almost brightly lit. It was important to know that what Qiantong had reported violated the Empress's prestige, so tomorrow... What is your attitude towards this matter is very important.
They must figure out the thoughts of Her Majesty the Empress before tomorrow morning, so that they can be safe.
In the early morning of the next day, all officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital came, and the team of officials had been lined up from the main hall to the square outside the hall.
Generally speaking, if there is no clear decree, the Great Court will usually be held at the end of the year and on the eve of the Longevity Festival. .
Today's chambermaid is also very grandly dressed, standing at the entrance of the Chaotang, looking up at the red sun jumping out of the horizon, flicking the dust in his hand, Lanxess sings: "Open the morning..."
