Shang Shufu.
Wu Xueyan frowned, looking at the several women who were crying like pear blossoms and rain under the seat, she only felt a headache.
Sun Yingyue, who was closest to her, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and wept softly: "Madam, in the past, slaves and servants were ignorant. Eat fast and worship the Buddha, pray for the wife and the eldest son, please spare our life."
Others also begged repeatedly: "Please spare the slave's life, madam!"
Sun Yingyue said: "Actually, over the years, the master has only had you in his heart. What are the slaves? They can't compare to a hair of your hair. The slaves lost their sense of proportion in the past. Don't take it seriously, Madam..."
Wu Xueyan frowned and interrupted her, "You all go back to your own yard, now it's chaos outside, don't leave the house if you have nothing to do, if anything happens, I can't protect you."
These women stopped their tears one after another, kowtowed and thanked, and respectfully withdrew out.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wu Xueyan pressed her forehead and sighed softly.
The general Wu Xingde occupied Jianzhou City and surrounded the palace. The news has spread among the people. Who would have thought that Wu's loyal and fierce family would go on the road of no return to rebellion, not to mention others, even Wu Xueyan himself. startled.
Being able to suppress the royalists and the forces secretly cultivated by the royal family in such a short period of time, it can be seen that Wu Xingde's move was not a temporary intention, and I am afraid it has been a long-standing conspiracy.
Wu Xueyan felt both heartache and anxiety at the thought of her father who had always been arrogant and arrogant over the years and who had been loyal to the Jing family for most of his life.
The Jing family has occupied the Central Plains and Kyushu for more than 50 years. It means that they will be overthrown. Moreover, although the monarch is mediocre, the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Father, what was he doing so desperately for? He is already half-dead age, even if he takes the country, what will happen...
Wu Xueyan was shocked and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to Prince Rong's mansion."
She hurried out of the inner courtyard, but was stopped by Tao Yunfeng.
"Step aside."
Tao Yunfeng didn't move, "There's no need to go, Yu'er is not in Jianzhou at this time."
Wu Xueyan's head buzzed, and she asked unconsciously, "What do you mean, if he's not in Jianzhou, where can he be?"
Tao Yunfeng stroked his beard and said, "With more than half a month, he will follow King Rong's troops to the outside of the city. In this battle, it is not the emperor or Lord Taishan who wins, but King Rong."
"King Rong? King Rong didn't go to Nanzheng, it's only half a year..."
Tao Yunfeng chuckled lightly, not knowing who he was laughing at, and said: "Do you think he is still the fifth prince of the year? The scholars who wrote the folk storybooks know that Da Ming's prince Rong is invincible. The only thing I have missed in my life is The person is him... the Jing family, their fates are not yet exhausted."
Wu Xueyan's body stiffened, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "So, my Wu family is doomed to decline."
Tao Yunfeng didn't speak, Tao Ziyu was in Jing Cheng's hands now, this forced palace was a joke at all, giving Jing Cheng a high-sounding excuse in vain to make him famous and secure the throne.
Wu Xueyan's face turned pale, she bit her lip and said, "The last time Yu'er came back, he happily told me that Prince Rong treated him very well. Could it be that those affections are also fake? Are they just a means to hide people's eyes?"
Tao Yunfeng took her into his arms, patted her on the back soothingly, and said, "How can someone like King Rong be sincere? Yu'er is really stupid."
Silly? It turned out that he believed that his husband loved him, but in his eyes he was stupid.
"You can see clearly," Wu Xueyan sneered and pushed him away, saying, "Yes, you and him are the same kind of people. You knew that Yu'er was not in Jianzhou, but you didn't tell me early, and watched my father send troops. The person who opened the way for Jing Cheng was reviled by all the people in the world! Tao Yunfeng, Tao Shangshu, Master Tao! You are so cruel..."
Tao Yunfeng looked at her quietly and said, "Why don't you ask, how did I know this."
Wu Xueyan took a deep breath and said with a desolate smile, "Master Tao thinks that he has already belonged to King Rong, and good birds choose wood to perch. You did a good job, but I was blind and saw the wrong person."
Tao Yunfeng said: "Whether you believe it or not, everything I do is for this family, for you and Yu'er, King Rong promised me that I would not hurt Lord Taishan, this is the best way I can think of. ."
Wu Xueyan looked at him and felt that the expressionless Tao Yunfeng at this moment was the person she knew for the first time. At this moment, the mask of all these years had faded away, but it made her unfamiliar like never before.
She pushed away Tao Yunfeng's hand and said coldly, "My father committed a heinous crime, and the Wu family's daughter does not dare to drag down the Shangshu Mansion. Please, Master Tao, give me a letter of divorce."
"Madam, what do you mean?" Tao Yunfeng said with a frown, "Who do you think is important to Yu'er? This battle is doomed long ago, but now it's just to avoid an unnecessary fight and the people to avoid it. It's just a disaster, why can't you see clearly?"
"I can see clearly, Mr. Tao, you can watch your parents and children fall into danger without saying a word, and you can also see my father step into a lost way and stand by, you are rational and clear-headed, and I am short-sighted and unworthy of you. "
After speaking, he sneered and turned to leave.
Tao Yunfeng chased outside the door, but saw that she had taken a horse and went straight to the General's Mansion.
=========
After another half a month, the army of the Southern Expedition had arrived outside the city of Jianzhou. At this time, it was cold winter, and there was light snow in the sky.
Su Yang opened the heavy car curtain, reached out to pick up a few snowflakes, turned his face and said with a smile, "It's snowing!"
He was wrapped in a thick fox fur jacket, with a snow-white rabbit velvet hat on his head, his dark round eyes shone brightly, and his smile was sweet and glutinous, rather naive.
Jing Cheng wiped the water droplets off his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Don't be greedy for coldness. You can't remember how many times you say it."
Su Yang shook his head and said, "It's not cold, it's warm!"
Jing Cheng's movements froze, and he felt panic in his heart. I feel warm because my body temperature is lower than that of snow.
He didn't know what went wrong. Although the Tianshan Xuansuo was extremely powerful, he could use the air from Tiangang to Yang to suppress it every day. It stands to reason that his condition would not deteriorate so quickly.
According to his previous plan, this puppy can accompany him for at least seven or eight years, just like a real pet, it will leave quietly after a certain lifespan, and the short life will belong to him, only to him.
But now only a year has passed, and his life is shrinking rapidly, getting weaker day by day, like quicksand, no matter how tightly he holds it, he can't keep it.
Today, he finally believes in what Buddhists call "karma".
He is Jing Cheng, Prince Rong who is powerful and powerful, the invincible myth in the minds of Da Ming's people, but other than that, he is nobody.
No one ever loved him, no one cared about him sincerely, his biological mother was killed for poisoning him, his biological father hated him for his low bloodline, and tried to suppress him in every possible way. Brothers and sisters in the clan even had endless conspiracies and tricks. Excuse me, was there a trace of sincerity
Even if he was told to kill his brother and his father at this moment, he would never blink an eye.
The royal family has no pure father and son, no flesh-and-blood kinship, and no eternal trust, nor does he need these fragile relationships that cannot stand the test.
He has his own ambitions. He wants to flatten the Mobei and take over the South China Sea. He wants to rebuild the Jing's rivers and mountains. He wants to be the most outstanding emperor in Daming.
But he never expected that this stupid little puppy would become the biggest variable in his life.
He made a wish to Su Yang that day, just to make him happy, but who would have expected this little brat to jump into his arms happily, saying that as long as he is, as long as he loves him.
-I want my husband to love me, and I want my husband to love me only.
Such silly words are the most touching love words he has ever heard.
If this is your wish, then...
"Okay, I promise you."
Su Yang blinked at him and asked, "Husband, you want to promise Yu'er, what?"
Jing Cheng lightly rubbed his thin jaw, and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, forget it and forget it, but you have to remember that your husband is a man of his word."
Su Yang nodded ignorantly, "Remember." He opened the curtain and exclaimed, "It's snowing!"
Jing Cheng put his arms around him and looked out of the window together, and said softly, "Jianzhou City is about to arrive, we will be able to go home soon, the earth dragon is always burning in the palace, and Yu'er will not feel cold."
The more a lie is said, the more it seems to be the truth.
Su Yang hid the emotions in his eyes and said excitedly, "Then I want to eat it, pear flower cake, I want mama, make it by myself!"
Jing Cheng said with a low smile, "Okay."
Su Yang added: "I still want to go home and see my mother, Yu'er really misses my mother."
He said this purely for testing purposes. It had been half a year since he had been there. He knew that Jing Cheng had kept an eye in Jianzhou, and everything that happened was under his control.
Jing Cheng hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Okay, when you feel better, husband will take you to see her."
It was "seeing her", not "going home", Su Yang keenly grasped that there was something in his words, but it was difficult to ask directly.
The carriage that was moving at a constant speed stopped suddenly, and after a while, the voice of the vanguard rang from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, there is a group of people in front, led by General Wu and Madam Tao."
Jing Cheng's expression changed, and he put a cloak on Su Yang's body and said, "Just wait here, don't get out of the car."
Su Yang pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Yu'er will go too."
Jing Cheng patiently reassured him: "Don't make a fool of yourself, it's snowing so hard outside, aren't you afraid of the cold?"
Su Yang just hugged his arm and refused to let go. In fact, his strength was not as good as that of a kitten. Jing Cheng could easily break free without using any force, but he was reluctant to be rough with him, so he had to stand still.
Su Yang muttered: "Mother is here, I want to see her, you clearly promised."
Seeing his aggrieved appearance of being bullied, Jing Cheng finally carried him out of the car, held his cold little hand, and slowly walked forward.
The people who came were really the Wu family's father and daughter. These two only brought more than ten horses and horses. Obviously, they did not come to fight but to seek peace. This was their only choice now.
As soon as Su Yang's weak and pale face came into view, Wu Xueyan couldn't restrain her eyes from reddening. It's only been half a year since she didn't see her, and her child was tortured like this.
Wu Xingde was also pale, as if he had aged ten years overnight.
Su Yang was very happy to see them, and immediately called out, "Mother, Yu'er is back!"
Wu Xueyan bit her lip and glared at Jing Cheng, almost wanting to slash him with a thousand cuts, but because her son was in his hands, she had to swallow her anger.
Jing Cheng said lightly, "General Wu, Madam Tao, stay safe."
Wu Xingde gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness, the old man is here to take the blame. His Royal Highness Wang Rong sees that the old man is a veteran of the two dynasties, and let go of my last blood of the Wu family. The Tiger Talisman of the Royal Forest Army."
Jing Cheng said: "This king doesn't understand what General Wu is saying. This king and Yu'er are husband and wife, so they will naturally love him well, so why should you let him go?"
Wu Xueyan said with red eyes: "Prince Rong, I know that Yu'er once felt sorry for you, but now he has also been punished by God and lost his mind. You have a lot of adults. It's good to let him go, and my concubine will kneel down for you."
As she spoke, she knelt on her knees on the snow and kowtowed heavily.
"Mother..."
Su Yang was a little at a loss, trying to break away from Jing Cheng's hand, but was tightly held in his arms by Jing Cheng, unable to move.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere."
