The criminals who rebelled with the fourth prince were either beheaded or exiled. People died every day at Caishikou outside the Meridian Gate. The thick blood accumulation could not be cleaned up, and it had formed a dark brown lump on the execution platform. It exudes a stench that is daunting. Many aristocratic families were implicated and withered one after another, and many upstarts rose rapidly to stand in the court.
Under the control of Emperor Chengkang and the prince, the change of power is proceeding in an orderly manner. The fourth prince was sentenced to be beheaded in the end, and the drama of seizing the heirloom came to an end before it really started. The fifth and sixth princes were all taken away from the titles of county kings.
Two months later, Emperor Chengkang announced his abdication and formally handed over the world to the prince. He also felt that he had seriously injured Guozuo by killing, so he dealt with all offenders' family members lightly. Those who were not deeply involved were either sold or exiled. It saved his life. If not, based on the crimes committed by these people, the nine clans would have been slaughtered, and the blood at Caishikou might have drowned the calves of pedestrians.
However, Yu Miaoqi and Lin Shi were not among those who were sent lightly. When the two saw the decapitated food brought by the jailer, they were so frightened that they nearly lost their souls, lying on the cell door and begging for mercy.
It was only when Lin's voice became hoarse from crying that she realized that she had already lost her way of life. She sat there for a while, then picked up the severed head meal and ate it very carefully.
Yu Miaoqi looked at the dark corridor outside the prison door, then at the hopeless and numb Lin, and said sharply, "This is the meal for decapitation, you can't eat it!"
"Why can't you eat it? Do you still expect someone to come to rescue us?" Lin raised her head and looked at her daughter with strange and cold eyes for the first time. The moment she knew that death was coming, she finally woke up from this terrible dream, and turned her head to look back at her former self, only the absurdity and irony remained in her heart.
What did she do? For such a ruthless and selfish daughter, she abandoned her mother-in-law, her son, and her status as a heroic wife. But what did she get in the end? Only the daughter's resentment and scolding and this bowl of decapitated rice.
She deserves death, why doesn't she eat? What she fears most now is not death, but how to meet her husband in hell. When he asked whether he was taking good care of his son, whether he was taking good care of his mother-in-law, and whether he was setting up the court of the Marquis Mansion, how should he answer him
Could it be that I have been ignoring my son and mother-in-law for more than ten years, not only that, but also joined hands with my daughter to almost destroy Yonglehou Mansion? After hearing these words, Junjie might be the first to kill her!
It's so absurd, so ridiculous, so stupid... How did I think that I would step into the abyss step by step until the end of my life
Lin spat out the chicken bones in her mouth, looked at her daughter who kept complaining, and slowly pulled out a bleak smile.
"Grandma, have you come to save us, grandma? My granddaughter knows she was wrong, and from now on she will definitely listen to your words and stop making trouble. Grandma, please forgive my granddaughter!" Seeing the person walking slowly from the end of the corridor , Yu Miaoqi shouted excitedly. She spoke one grandmother and one granddaughter, constantly reminding the old lady of their blood relationship.
Mrs. Lin lost her job, threw herself to the cell door and looked out, and asked with tears streaming down her face, "Mother, are you here to see us off for the last time? Mother, my daughter-in-law knows my mistake. My daughter-in-law is sorry for you, sorry for my words." Son, I'm even more sorry for Junjie, my daughter-in-law deserves to die."
The old lady was very surprised by Lin's sudden repentance, she couldn't help but stare at her, and finally sighed, "So what if you know you're wrong? It's a pity it's too late." Then she looked at the jailer, waved her hand slightly, "Let them out."
Lin was dumbfounded, but Yu Miaoqi was ecstatic, she couldn't wait to get out of the half-open cell door, and cried, "Granddaughter thanks grandma for saving her life. From now on, granddaughter will be filial to you."
With the support of Mama Mama, the old lady walked out first, and said with a sarcasm, "I dare not accept your kindness, I am afraid that one day you will stab me in the cold. It’s all for keeping the mouths of the world shut. No matter what, Yan’er can’t be accused of murdering his relatives, he still has to be a man after all, unlike you, who have been reduced to animals.”
Lin's walking steps became more and more stiff, and she felt that she would rather die on the guillotine than go out alive. She has no face to see her son.
Yu Miaoqi followed behind the old lady with a low eyebrow, thinking that she would scold her, and when she was done with the anger in her chest, she would take her back and become the mansion of Marquis Yongle again, oh no, the concubine of Duke Yu's mansion. Even the history books have turned a new page, and her life can start over.
However, when I got outside the door, I saw two officers and soldiers coming forward with swords and halberds, and asked respectfully, "Old Madam, are these two people? Please don't worry, Madam, I will send them to the palace alive." Shuocheng."
The old lady nodded, and Wan Qiu, who was standing beside the carriage, came over and threw the two packages in her hands at the feet of Lin Shi and Yu Miaoqi.
Shuocheng is the most famous place where the great Han people were exiled. It is a desert wasteland and uninhabited. Its harsh living environment makes even the locals want to escape, let alone the displaced prisoners. After going there, no one will be able to set foot on the homeland alive.
Yu Miaoqi seemed to realize something, and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, didn't you come to pick me up? I, I am your granddaughter!" Rather than being exiled in Shuocheng, she would rather die in Shangjing. She must not be reduced to a lowly and lowly sin slave, who suffers from the toil of farming every day. She is born noble.
"Don't forget, we have already severed our relationship. You intend to put your elder brother to death, and you intend to destroy the foundation that generations of the Yu family have exchanged with blood and lives, but I am still willing to ask the imperial court to save your life. I I have done my best to you. Go away, go far away, and don't let me see you again." The old lady waved her hand, and the back turned around looked so desolate and tired.
Yu Miaoqi wanted to catch up but was stopped by officers and soldiers. She kept yelling and cursing, trying to force the old lady to submit with family affection and morality, but what she got was ridicule from passers-by. She is ruthless and ungrateful to this point, but she scolds others for being ruthless and ungrateful, which is simply ridiculous. The old lady was able to save her life at the last moment, she was really a living bodhisattva.
Lin picked up the package on the ground, and walked towards the gate of the city under the escort of officers and soldiers, regardless of her distressed daughter. To be honest, instead of going back to the Yu Mansion to face her son and mother-in-law, she feels more relaxed and relieved. If the exile can wash away the sins on her body, she will die outside the pass.
As early as a month ago, Yu Siyu had gone out in style, and today is the day for Yu Xiang to enter.
She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and sat in front of the dressing table looking in the mirror, very satisfied with her gorgeous makeup. She seemed to feel that the lip balm was a little stained, so she used her nails to spread it out bit by bit, and then lightly pursed her lips.
Seeing that there was no movement in the house for a long time, the bride outside reminded loudly, "It's time for the bride to cry."
"Today is my day of great joy. I don't even have time to laugh, so I can't cry. Isn't this difficult?" Yu Xiang said as she straightened the phoenix crown on her head, and jingled the bead curtain on her forehead with her fingertips. Noisy, giggling.
Tao Hong nodded in agreement, the corners of Liu Lu's mouth twitched, Xi Niang standing outside the door looked at Master Shen with a pale face. This girl from the Shen family is really extraordinary, she is really shameless.
Shen Yuanqi closed his eyes and threatened, "Xiang'er, if you don't cry today, we won't hold this wedding, and you can stay at home with elder brother for a few more years." Dead girl, she can't wait to marry Yu Family.
"Don't brother, I'm crying, can't I cry?" Yu Xiang burst into tears immediately after hearing this, which made Shen Yuanqi's face turn greener.
Yu Pinyan rode a tall horse and led eight large sedan chairs to pick up his wife. A total of 120 sets of dowries were lined up from the east of the city to the west of the city. The scene was very grand. Although the two were originally brothers and sisters, but the new emperor personally drafted the decree to bestow the marriage, and others dare not make irresponsible remarks.
After the husband and wife paid their respects, a new couple entered the bridal chamber. When Yu Pinyan lifted the hijab, the noisy bridal chamber was silent for a while, with gasps one after another. Such a gorgeous and charming woman has stayed by my side for fifteen or sixteen years, and it's a fool not to be tempted.
Yu Pinyan's face turned cold, and everyone came back to their senses, and quickly looked away from the bride's face. Xi Niang picked up a bowl of dumplings and fed them to the bride's mouth.
Yu Xiang got up early in the morning to dress up and hadn't eaten anything at all. She was so hungry at this time that she ate three or four meals in a row. When she saw Xi Niang move the spoon away, she gave her a dissatisfied look.
Xi Niang pressed the corner of her twitching mouth and asked, "Is this dumpling still alive?"
Yu Xiang glanced at her elder brother with a smile, and replied, "Birth, one birth is better than one birth."
What is one-by-one birth? You can just say 'one after another'. Shen Yuanqi was secretly annoyed, but he couldn't help laughing, while the others laughed unceremoniously. Yu Pinyan only squinted his eyes, and there were a few sparks in his eyes when he looked at the little girl.
The two tied their hair and drank Hebei wine. Yu Pinyan only had time to caress his wife's cheek before being surrounded by a group of subordinates to go out for a drink. Yu Xiang chased after her and said, 'Don't get drunk', which made them laugh again.
Everyone left, Tao Hong and Liu Lu hurriedly took off the phoenix crown on the master's head, and waited for her to wash.
"Miss, put on your clothes quickly, and come over to have something to eat." Tao Hong greeted.
Yu Xiang only wore a big red apron for mandarin ducks playing in the water on her upper body, and a pair of bloomers of the same color on her lower body. Because the fabric was too thin, it didn't cover what should be covered, but instead had a hazy and intriguing beauty. Her figure was already graceful, and her skin was as smooth and white as milk. When she was lying on her side on the bed, the sharp contrast between the snow white and the bright red was simply breathtaking.
Tao Hong and Liu Lu swallowed involuntarily, and their cheeks immediately burned red.
"What to eat? I ate a few dumplings just now. It's enough, but if I eat more, my stomach will bulge out. It's not good." Yu Xiang waved his hand, gathered the longan, red dates, peanuts and other things scattered on the bed into a pile, and said with a smile, " I'll just peel a few peanuts and eat them, the peanuts don't take up much space."
"Then you should put on the obscene clothes anyway, so as not to catch cold." Liu Lu picked up the red obscene clothes that the master had thrown on the ground at random.
"I don't wear it, it's the end of July, and I don't feel too hot. Do I look good like this? Is it beautiful? Do you want to pounce on me when you see me?" She asked as she opened the hem of her apron, revealing half of her plump white body. Greasy and round.
Tao Hong and Liu Lu stared straight at them, quickly blocked their slightly itchy noses, and turned their backs.
Yu Xiang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "It's done. I'm very satisfied with your answer. This is what I want. Come quickly and eat peanuts. After half an hour, your son-in-law has not come back yet, so go ahead and urge me."
"How can a bride urge the groom to go back to the room? Miss, you are not ashamed." Liu Lu really wanted to kneel down to the master.
"The wedding night in the bridal chamber is supposed to do some shameful things, I want to know what to do." Yu Xiang covered her mouth and chuckled.
Pink and willow green, "..."
When Yu Pinyan returned to the room, he saw his little bride sitting cross-legged on the couch with a lot of longan, peanuts and red dates piled up under her feet, and all kinds of fruit shells were thrown on the ground, it can be seen that she was not idle at all.
It took only a quarter of an hour for her husband to come back. Yu Xiang was startled, and quickly swept all the things at her feet under the bed, leaned against the pillow, rested her chin with one hand and waved lightly with the other, posing in a sexy and seductive pose. Said in a flattering voice, "Are you back? Come here soon."
If there hadn't been the previous scene of throwing peanuts and catching them with his mouth like a gangster, Yu Pinyan would have been attracted by the bewitching appearance of his little wife, but right now he wants to laugh besides laughing.
Tao Hong and Liu Lu had slipped out along the wall.
Yu Xiang had already figured out how to spend the passionate wedding night, but she lost her face before the show started, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at? These peanuts have a good meaning! I ate so much tonight , I will give birth to a big fat boy for you in the next year. They say that a moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, but you are patronizing and laughing, but you don’t know that you have already wasted tens of thousands of gold. Come here soon.” He untied the knot of the bellyband while talking.
Yu Pinyan couldn't laugh anymore, two dark fires were ignited in his eyes, he strode over and hugged his delicate and delicious little wife into his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I made a mistake for my husband, so I will help my wife make it up."
Yu Xiang only had time to hum before being pulled into the charming and fiery whirlpool.
