"Later, the eldest brother completely lost the emperor's trust, but Fan Rong regained the emperor's trust as a blessing in disguise. All he wanted was to secure his position as Minister of War."
If his mother hadn't begged him so hard, Fan Rong would have forced him to marry and have children in the capital, regardless of his father's feelings. "
Speaking of this, Fan Yu suddenly laughed, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Does the princess know? Fan Rong wants his eldest brother to marry the head of Pingshu County."
"Fan Rong actually thinks so." He is worthy of being a veteran of two dynasties, and he can still find every opportunity to use it!
Fan Yugong cupped his hands and said, "I have already said what needs to be said. If the princess wants to know the specific correspondence between Pei Yi and my eldest brother, I can go back and make a copy."
"Sorry to trouble you." Wen Qingzhu naturally agreed. After all, Pei Yi really didn't have many friends when it came to friends.
Fan Ling turned out to be one of them.
Late at night, Lu Tao brought a midnight snack. Wen Qingzhu had just eaten a few bites when Xiao Fangzi from Qianyuan Palace rushed over.
"Princess! Your Majesty wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked Lu Tao to bring the midnight snack with him to Qianyuan Palace.
The guards of Qianyuan Palace, in addition to the imperial army, are Fu Lie's secret guards.
The person at the door was none other than Wei Yu.
Wen Qingzhu walked up and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, Princess, nothing will happen. You can go in without worry. I have already inspected it several times." Wei Yu stepped aside and respectfully invited her in.
Just after taking a step, Wen Qingzhu stopped and asked, "Have you visited the Queen? How is she doing?"
Wei Yu nodded: "I've seen it, the queen is recovering well."
Following Xiao Fangzi to the main hall, Wen Qingzhu saw Jiang Yuanhan sitting on the ground. His hair was disheveled and he was wearing only a middle coat. When he heard the sound at the door, he just raised his eyes and continued to look at the waste paper on the ground dejectedly.
Wen Qingzhu walked up to him, looked down and said, "Do you really want to continue like this?"
"The princess said this, what else can I do?" Jiang Yuanhan's eyes were full of ridicule, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
He looked nothing like the Jiang Yuanhan Wen Qingzhu knew.
At her signal, Xiao Fangzi stepped forward to help Jiang Yuanhan up, not wanting to be pushed hard by him: "Let me go!"
Xiao Fangzi felt distressed and helpless and said: "Your Majesty, you can't go on like this, at least you have to take care of the dragon body."
Jiang Yuanhan raised his head and laughed: "Dragon body?!"
He stared at Wen Qingzhu, his voice cold: "Am I the emperor? Which emperor is like me? He is under house arrest in the huge Qianyuan Palace! Even if he wants to take a step out, there is nothing he can do!"
"You still don't realize your mistake." Wen Qingzhu closed her eyes. She thought Jiang Yuanhan would feel somewhat guilty.
Not to mention Huixin, this time Lu Lei was the queen of Zhonglie. Even Jiang Yue would not do anything to harm Zhonglie, but Jiang Yuanhan not only did it, but he also had no guilt!
Jiang Yuanhan sneered and said nothing.
Lu Tao put the supper beside him, and Wen Qingzhu ignored him and sat down to eat.
In the past two days, she had been personally taking care of everything inside and outside the palace. On the surface, it looked calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent, and there was a possibility of overturning at any time.
After eating supper, Wen Qingzhu put down his chopsticks and noticed that Jiang Yuanhan was looking at her blankly. His eyes were no longer as decadent as before, but a little nervous.
Wen Qingzhu understood, stood up, walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Get up."
"Sister..." Jiang Yuanhan did not expect that his voice was not normal at all, and he even did not dare to stretch out his hand.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu knelt down, took the initiative to hold his hand, pulled him up, and sat down at the table.
Without her instructions, Xiao Fangzi hurriedly came over in the cloak.
Wen Qingzhu put it on him carefully, poured another cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Do you feel better?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yuanhan stiffened his body, not daring to move at all, and his eyes avoided looking directly at her.
"Drink." Wen Qingzhu's voice carried a special power, and Jiang Yuanhan finally picked up the cup and drank.
Seeing that he looked very bad, Wen Qingzhu asked Xiao Fangzi to get some hot porridge.
When the vegetables and porridge arrived, she laid it out for Jiang Yuanhan and asked him to eat it first.
As he ate, Jiang Yuanhan's hands trembled and he couldn't control it, and tears fell heavily: "I really didn't want to kill Lu Lei, I just-"
Want to kill Fu Lie.
He didn't say these four words, but he knew that Wen Qingzhu would definitely understand.
"I know, but you were the one who left Wen Qinglan in Qianyuan Palace, right?" Wen Qingzhu's voice was as usual, but when Jiang Yuanhan listened, he felt that his sister was blaming him.
He shook his head, nodded again, and kept explaining: "I have cut off all contact between her and the outside world. I really don't know that she can still contact Jiang Yuancheng, and I don't know how she deceived Ping Shu. Yes, I didn’t want to kill Lu Lei, it wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me... "
Wen Qingzhu looked at his conflicting expression and felt very complicated. Is this really the case
She took Jiang Yuanhan's hand and checked his pulse.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuanhan's movements froze.
Wen Qingzhu withdrew his hand and looked at him calmly: "Yuanhan, you should know that you can't deceive others by following me for so long."
When her fingertips touched Jiang Yuanhan's pulse, she heard Jiang Yuanhan's heartbeat steady and rhythmic.
Jiang Yuanhan just stood motionless, his expression frozen, and he was not very panicked, but he was just feeling a little emotional: As expected, he won't be able to satisfy his sister for long.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of calm eyes: "When did sister find out?"
"Very early, when I met Mr. Fu in Kangcheng." At this time, Wen Qingzhu completely let go of the burden in his heart.
This kind of Jiang Yuanhan is the real Jiang Yuanhan, brave and resourceful. Perhaps what he is waiting for is his fierce action.
This situation was not what she and Fu Lie wanted, but it was probably what Jiang Yuanhan wanted.
Jiang Yuanhan raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Wen Qingzhu: "Then sister also knows that Huixin's death is related to me?"
Wen Qingzhu said nothing and took out the small jar that Wen Qingxin had given her.
After opening it, a special smell of fire oil escapes.
At this time, Jiang Yuanhan's expression changed slightly: "I personally supervised the kerosene matter. How could my sister have this kerosene?"
He remembered clearly that this kind of kerosene was available in three places.
A side hall, the main hall, and the bamboo forest to the south of the temple.
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood: "Wen Qingxin is indeed my sister's cousin, not just an ordinary person."
"You are really different." Wen Qingzhu thought about countless situations, but he never expected that they could talk about these topics so calmly.
Jiang Yuanhan raised the corners of his lips: "My sister is too praised. I just grew up and became the same person as my sister."
"Then why did you kill Huixin?"
"You can't tell your sister this."
"What about Xin'er?"
"I never wanted to kill her."
There was silence as the conversation progressed.
After a long time, Wen Qingzhu stood up and left, not wanting Jiang Yuanhan to call out to her: "Sister, won't you ask me why I did this?"
Wen Qingzhu stopped and did not look back: "The why of some things is no longer important. What is important is the result. Huixin and Xin'er died, and Lu Lei also died unexpectedly. They all died in the hands of the emperor. You are the emperor." , outsiders don’t care what the reason is.”
Looking at her back as she continued to walk forward, Jiang Yuanhan's long-suppressed reluctance burst out again: "Does sister care?!"
Wen Qingzhu's hands tightened. In the past, she might have cared, but now, Jiang Yuanhan is no longer the fragile and simple Jiang Yuanhan he once was.
She smiled lightly: "I don't care."
Walking out of the main hall door, a gust of wind came from behind, and two fingers pointed at Wen Qingzhu's acupuncture points, making it impossible for her to leave.
Jiang Yuanhan walked up to her, picked her up horizontally, turned around and walked into the house.
As the palace door closed, Lu Tao outside the door anxiously wanted to rush in, but she was held down by Ye Gan so hard that she couldn't move at all.
"Ye Gan! How dare you hold me hostage!" Lu Tao was ready to kill Ye Gan.
Ye Gan was very calm: "Miss Ye, don't get excited, the emperor has something to say to the princess!"
Lu Tao was furious: "He brought the princess in for acupuncture! Does it sound like she's talking normally?!"
Recalling the scene just now, it really didn't sound like he was talking normally, but he had been following the emperor for a long time and understood that the emperor's words at certain times only meant the words literally.
After all, the emperor was taught by Wen Qingzhu, so he is not so despicable.
Inside the room, Jiang Yuanhan put Wen Qingzhu on the bed and gently covered her with a quilt.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with a very indifferent expression.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but that Jiang Yuanhan didn't give her a chance to speak.
Looking into her eyes, Jiang Yuanhan looked gentle and innocent. He sat on the footrest in front of the bed, gently held Wen Qingzhu's hand, then leaned against the back of her hand, and couldn't help but talk about the past.
"When I was still in the cold palace, my body was very weak, and this is how my sister took care of me. I have always thought that when I grow up and my sister needs me, let me take care of you, but I never had the chance. "
"Later, my sister married General Fu. I was actually very happy because she finally had someone to protect her, but I didn't know that my feelings for her were no longer the same."
"No matter what happens, as long as my sister wants me to do it, I will try my best to do it well. But I really can't stand my sister leaving me. Why should my sister leave me? It would be great if my sister stayed at that time."
Jiang Yuanhan slowly raised his head, resentment and pity intertwined in his eyes. His hand holding Wen Qingzhu gradually tightened until his knuckles turned white.
His eyes began to fill with anger, and he suddenly threw her hand away, stood up, took off the sword hanging on the wall, and pointed it at Wen Qingzhu's neck.
The blade of the sword had already reached the skin of Wen Qingzhu's neck, but he never took a step forward.
Jiang Yuanhan couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Kill her! Kill her and you will be free!"
There was another change in his eyes, Jiang Yuanhan retracted his hand in fear, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang. He looked at his hand, as if he saw blood on it: "How could I want to kill my sister? How could it be possible! How could it be possible! "
Jiang Yuanhan squatted on the ground holding his head in pain and roared.
Wen Qingzhu really wanted to enlighten him, but now he couldn't move at all.
I thought it would be great if Beidou was here.
Unexpectedly, her eyes dimmed instantly.
He knew that Jiang Yuanhan was suffering from illness, but this was also his true thought.
Beidou was retaliating for Fu Lie's injury, just because Jiang Yuanhan really wanted to kill Fu Lie.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Yuanhan seemed to have regained his composure. He sat on the footrest again, took Wen Qingzhu's hand, then lowered his head and kissed the back of Wen Qingzhu's hand.
At the same time, he murmured: "Sister, I will atone for my sins."
That night, Wen Qingzhu didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he heard Lu Tao's urgent question: "Princess! Princess!"
Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he woke up, his right hand felt numb.
After being helped up by Lu Tao, Wen Qingzhu looked outside and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
"I don't know. When I broke in, the princess was the only one inside." Lu Tao was very angry.
