Chapter 99 Resting
On the day of Grain Rain, Ping Shisheng
Six days have passed since Powayuan was brought back. Jiang Xuan is being taken care of and her health is gradually improving. Today she can finally go outside the small courtyard and watch the children and maids working at the dock.
She must be in her forties, her black hair on the temples has been submerged by the wind and frost of the years. Now that she has gained strength, she puts on a Japanese-style bun. Even if she only wears a linen jacket and a pleated skirt, she can't hide the nobility born in her bones.
Looking down from the closed window on the second floor of Caoyang, Yan Juan is a middle-aged woman who is not ordinary just by looking at her.
Can a woman who can give birth to Li Ying get along with an ordinary person?
"Young girl is really patient." Li Qiu was also convinced. The doctor told Jiang Xuan to rest and not have any sudden mood swings. He really didn't disturb her for six whole days.
"I'm not patient. I'm just afraid of being irritated. If anything happens, everything will be over in the next step!" Yan Juan closed the window with a sigh of relief and said with relief, "It should be much better if I can get some fresh air outside."
If she gets too excited and something happens, where can she find a mother for Li Ying?
The lip line in Liqiu is hooked, it’s rare for a girl to be scared!
Yan Ju tapped her slender hand on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and she made a final decision in her mind.
"Let's go! We can't stay in the capital for too long. We have to have an answer before we make plans."
After going downstairs to the small courtyard, when the two of them appeared in front of Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was playing with the fiery red tassel flowers. When he saw them, he nodded and said, "Finally here!"
"Madam, do you know who I am?" Yan Juan waved her fan slightly, admiring her indifference.
Jiang Xuan smiled gently and said: "When the girl first arrived in Nanchu, the slave family had not yet become seriously ill, so we had a close relationship."
This first-hand encounter in Nanchu sounded terrifying, not to mention that she knew what she saw.
"Madam is also very thorough." Yan Juan likes to talk to smart people!
"Whatever the girl wants, I won't ask or tell you anything. I just want a few children to grow up safely." There was a determination in Jiang Xuan's calm tone that could not be refused.
Seeing her decision to protect the calf, Yan Juan slightly raised her lips, feeling an inexplicable expectation for some reason.
It turns out she also has this kind of bad taste!
He took out the writing paper belonging to Zhong Lanxin from the embroidery bag and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan, who seemed to have been prepared to receive the note, calmly took it and pretended not to be familiar with it and praised it: "It's such a special note. I'd better give it back to the girl to keep it safe to avoid being damaged by the children."
"Why don't you, madam, take a look at it again?" Yan Jue handed it over again and waited quietly for her response.
Jiang Xuan picked up the writing paper again and looked at it carefully. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her eyes were calm to the point of innumerable madness. She got up anxiously and wanted to reach out to catch Yan Juan. She was about to catch her, but Li Qiu quickly blocked the way.
"Lan Xin? Are you Lan Xin?" After the beginning of autumn, Jiang Xuan tried to regain her composure and asked. She glanced at Yan Jue again, shook her head frequently, tears fell from her soft eyes, and said sadly:
"No! You are not Xin'er. If Xin'er had not died, she would have been in her early twenties this year. You are not Xin'er. My Xin'er is dead??"
"Madam, please calm down, you have more than one child." Li Qiu reminded her softly in her ear.
Jiang Xuan suddenly felt like a biting cold wind was raging in his heart. He sat back down in frustration and the past suddenly came flooding in.
No one is perfect in the competition for titles, and this is the case for Anding Gongfu!
Who won the title at the end of the fight? The extremely stupid Cao family married into the Anding Palace, and had the wrong idea. She thought that after killing the whole family, the title would be given to the second bedroom. What happened? Empress Cao gave her the title.
promise?
Only the second family members were spared. Their lives were safe! Their title? They were just like dust and fell into the bloodbath.
After giving birth to Lanxin, she had not been pregnant again for several years. Mrs. Cao suggested that she go to the Daxian Temple to pray. She took her little maid there to stay for a few days, copying Buddhist scriptures and praying every day, hoping to have another baby.
After Empress Cao massacred Duke Anding's mansion, she quietly sent Cao to stay with her at the Daxian Temple that night to ensure that no one could escape. Unknown to her, while chatting about family matters, she confessed that she was resigning to live in seclusion and that her youngest daughter would marry far away.
, and the old Chun Pingbo couple moved to a big border city.
Fortunately, when she woke up in the middle of the night to wash her hands, she heard the true story between Cao and her nanny. With the help of her maid, she hitched a carriage and hurriedly escaped from the Daxian Temple, heading north to escape back to the Yong Dynasty with her parents and Lan Xin.
She could not forget standing outside the small courtyard, watching an old pair of parents vomiting blood, warning them that they could not recognize each other with their eyes. She could not forget standing outside the courtyard and watching the two elders being killed in Nanchu for harboring a fugitive.
The men of the black armored soldiers.
It was she who caused her old parents who loved her to die unexpectedly, and it was she who caused Lan Xin to be massacred. If she hadn't been sent to the hospital after being heartbroken and fainting, and then found out she was pregnant, she would have died with her old parents long ago.
Over the years, she rented a small house, adopted orphans, and supported a few children with acupuncture, until she fell ill a few days ago, and her limited income could not support her illness.
She thought that she was going to die in the mass graves that had left the Duke Anding's house, so she slept in the same cave with her husband. She dragged her sick body back to Beijing for thousands of miles, and happened to meet Yan Jue leaving in disguise.
Ever since she lost the note, she had been mentally prepared for her identity to be revealed. After all, she had lived for more than ten years and her two children would not be discovered because of the note. So why not die?
What's more, she never let her two children call her mother, and they had no idea who they were.
For this reason, she also adopted more abandoned children from the begging den, which blurred the focus.
Looking at the rich and noble girl in front of her, she really didn't know where the child's identity was revealed.
Her reaction showed that Chengyun's guess was correct, those two were really the posthumous sons of An Guogong.
In order to save her posthumous son, the legitimate daughter of the uncle Chun Ping of Beiyong did not return to Beiyong. Her identity would be exposed, and she was willing to hide in a beggar's nest...
Yan Juan once again felt that it was really hard for a woman to have no confidence, so she was hiding in a beggar's nest and living her life?
She can't do it!!
Seeing that she had calmed down and was keeping a cautious eye on her, Yan Juan felt inexplicable self-blame. Was she scaring someone?
She nodded lightly, and with understanding, Li Qiu tapped the stone table on the roof of the small courtyard to watch the wind, and then nodded back after confirming her surroundings.
Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't show any surprise at Li Qiu, he knew that her mention of a one-time relationship was not a joke.
I believe it again, she is really guilty!
If you don’t look for trouble, trouble will come to you, right?
She had already felt pity and didn't care anymore. She shook her fan slowly and said calmly: "Li Cheng learned about the massacre in the Anding Palace and asked Emperor Yongde to pick up Zhong Lanxin secretly. His whereabouts were leaked and none of his guards survived.
, I only took away Zhong Lanxin and sold it to Lan Xianyue, whose flower name is Fan Xuelan. Fan Xuelan likes the cakes on my boat, and this note is the token she gave me."
Jiang Xuan wrung her hands tightly and the bruises were clearly visible. It was true that her daughter loved cakes! She couldn't accept that her daughter was sold into the land of romance, and she hated herself for not being able to protect her.
"In the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, she was elected as the leader of Lanjiang. She must have known that she could no longer maintain her position as a pure hermit, so she burned the boat and left with her injustice."
Yan Juan suddenly felt that she was a bit bad! She was teasing Li Ying's mother like this, how pitiful was she that she had to judge the truth from her reaction!
"That's fine! It's fine that my Lan Xin left cleanly! How could the duke's legitimate daughter be so humiliated? A good death! A good death!" Jiang Xuan's tears slowly slid down, thankful that her daughter lived a good life.
Life is not easy for her with two children, let alone Lan Xin who is living outside the home.
Yan Juan looked at Jiang Xuan who was so proud and couldn't hold back her tears. She still believed it. She took out Li Cheng's writing paper from her embroidery bag and combined it. She gave it to her with a bright smile and said with a smile:
"Brother Cheng asked me to tell you that I would like to Cheng Lanxin."
Would it be a punishment from God to let people use sauna like this?
Jiang Xuan, who was obviously stunned when he heard Li Cheng, suddenly stopped crying and looked at the girl in front of him with a beautiful smile in disbelief.
The edges of the fingers holding the note turned white, and when he looked into her warm and reassuring eyes, she smiled slightly and nodded, responding to the questions in her eyes.
Yan Juan gently shook the back of Jiang Xuan's still cold hand and said lightly: "In a few days, I will take these babies to my Guiwu Mountain to play! My little sister can't remember her future and past events. She just gave birth to a baby.
A cute fat boy.”
Jiang Xuan bit her lip and stopped making any sound. The more she understood what Yan Juan meant, the less she dared to cry again.
Yan Juan cut to the chase and asked: "Are you coming back to vindicate Zhaoxue?"
Jiang Xuan said with a sad smile: "If I hadn't been rescued, I planned to let the children throw my bones into a mass grave and kill me in the same cave."
"Then tell Madam everything you know! You will set off tomorrow."
...
Watching the shadow of the boat on the river go away, Yan Jue, who let Cheng Yun hug the horse, had mixed emotions. The boat that came to pick her up twice took her away for the second time.
Tsk tsk! This ship has a close relationship with her!
It’s not time to get on the boat and leave yet!
Jiang Xuan said that he did not want his children to be burdened by the shackles of the Anding government. He hoped that they would grow up safely and happily and earn their own place in the future.
Emperor Gongshun did these things just because he was worried about Zhong Lanxin. If the military power was taken away, how could he return it to the An Ding government?
Let your children inherit the glory of Kongfu?
Jiang Xuan would rather take her children back to her motherland and start over.
Horse hooves clattered as they headed towards the Tidal Palace on the eastern outskirts of the capital. Along the way, the two of them chatted wordlessly.
Today is the first palace banquet held by Emperor Gongshun after he ascended the throne. Envoys from various countries are specially invited to attend the banquet, and Chengyun is also invited.
Yan Jue was wearing a crimson floral skirt and a flowing bun that he had styled, which made her look red and charming, fitting the harmless yet seductive little lamb she was going to play today.
Cheng Yun wore a lake-green Hunan embroidery with a blushing Clivia embroidery and a jade crown that was elegant and outstanding, making the beauty in his arms even more elegant.
The ride attracted countless attention and gifts. It was obvious that Chengyun deliberately showed her presence, hoping that people would remember their presence, which was completely opposite to her usual indifference and low profile.
Yan Jue raised her eyes like autumn water and looked into his bright star eyes. In her little mouth, which looked gentle and affectionate to outsiders, she asked the most helpless question in a low voice: "I said, how can you be so beautiful as the wife of the Crown Prince?"
"Everyone is so impressed that we can do things later!" He curled his lips coldly, showing off his charming style.
