Sang Kun went to Wuzhou to fight locusts, and it was a hard work. He was tanned a lot, and he was injured. His face was haggard, and his carefully tended beard also became dry.
He was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the approaching emperor, struggling to get out of bed and salute.
"No need. My dear, you are injured. Just lie down."
He Ying has a gentle voice and a tolerant attitude.
Sang Kun was so moved that his eyes turned red: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness. It's just that I am not talented and I am unworthy of the emperor's kindness."
He also knew that he was wrong and explained: "But I never meant to owe money to the merchants. It was only the financial matters that I handed over to Quanzi's supervision. As a result, something happened to his wife and she left in a hurry, so the settlement was delayed."
It turns out there was another reason why Sang Jue left.
The assassination of Sang Kun was also related to Sang Jue's departure.
After all, Sang Jue's swordsmanship was superb. With him by Sang Kun's side, the assassination would not be successful, and he would be easily caught.
The person behind it has a great plan!
When He Ying thought of this, he felt that Sang Kun was innocent and nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, this matter is excusable and I will not pursue it."
Sang Kun was moved again and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Of course, while being moved, she also missed her son: "I don't know what is going on with Quanzi now. Suxi has been married to Quanzi for many years, and she is giving birth to an heir. She is the wife of the Sang family that Mingwen is marrying. I hope the emperor will find out."
He Ying felt a little guilty when he mentioned this. He glanced at Sang Yan from the corner of his eye and saw that she was looking at him in her spare time, as if waiting for his answer, so he slowly said: "Su Xi had a husband first, and when she lost her memory, she married the son again.
It's orderly, and there are depths of love. I feel that love can't be forced, everything depends on her wishes."
Does this mean you are not going to help?
Sang Kun was very disappointed. He looked at Sang Yan and cried: "Daughter, that is your biological brother. Your younger brother and sister are pregnant with the Sang family's flesh and blood, your little nephew."
Sang Yan: "..."
Maybe it’s my niece!
Such patriarchal thinking!
She was disgusted and said with an indifferent expression: "The emperor has agreed that the child belongs to the Sang family. If she is willing to give birth to it."
This child's situation is so embarrassing.
Too innocent.
If you were born without your own mother, it would be pitiful.
Sang Kun was also satisfied when he heard that the child belonged to the Sang family.
As for the daughter-in-law there, she is unclean and humble, so it would be better to replace her as soon as possible.
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but said in front of him: "The dog is young and has an unfortunate marriage. It hurts me so much."
Sang Yan: "..."
It’s not like I would use the word painful.
Is this person a miserable person?
He Ying already had a countermeasure for this, so he comforted him: "My dear, there is no need to be sad. I have agreed that if he meets the one he loves again, I will decree a marriage for him."
Sang Kun was completely satisfied and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will swear to the death to repay the Emperor's kindness."
The following words are scene words.
He Ying knew it well, smiled, told him to take good care of himself, left the reward, and left with Sang Yan.
As the hostess, Mrs. Lin was sent outside the mansion. She looked at Sang Yan and wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth in front of the emperor - her daughter ate, lived and traveled with the emperor, but had no status.
It’s not a problem after all!
Sang Yan felt that mother and daughter were connected and could still feel her worries, so she smiled and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry, mother."
Mrs. Lin was instantly comforted and smiled with red eyes: "Okay. Just be nice to you. Be good to the emperor and don't make him unhappy."
The last sentence seems to make her support the emperor's son-in-law.
Sang Yan didn't want to hear it, so she simply said goodbye, turned around and got into the carriage.
He Ying took a step behind and gave Lin a junior salute, which scared her so much that she waved her hands repeatedly.
Sang Yan raised the car curtain and watched, waiting for He Ying to get in the car, and said without interest: "If I had known this, there would be no need to come."
He Ying heard this and guessed: "Why do you say that? But what your mother said? Don't take it to heart. I know you are different from them."
She never obeyed a man's ideas.
If you teach her to be obedient, you are torturing her.
He couldn't bear it.
Sang Yan shook his head: "The emperor misunderstood. It's not my mother's fault."
"Why is that?"
"I feel like my father is always seeking personal gain for himself. Well...it's very boring."
Her idealism started to show up again.
He Ying chuckled: "It's really boring. Since you don't like it, then come less often."
He hoped that she would think so and would rarely bring up the palace in the future.
The carriage moved forward smoothly.
Sang Yan opened the car curtain and looked at the hustle and bustle on the street in boredom.
Suddenly, she thought of someone: "Your Majesty, can I go see Xuanrao?"
He Ying actually didn't want her to go, but when he met her expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse her, he nodded: "If you want to go, just go."
So, Pei Muyang, who was the coachman, turned around and went to Xuanjia.
Xuanjia
It was once a famous family with a prosperous family, but now it is deserted and in decline.
The two stone lions at the door were also damaged by the sun and rain.
The writing on the high-hanging plaque is almost legible.
An old man who looked like a doorman was sitting on the threshold and taking a nap.
"Old sir, I'm looking for your eldest lady Xuanrao."
Sang Yan got off the carriage, walked forward, and explained his purpose.
When the old man heard the sound, he raised his head, looked at the two people in luxurious clothes, stood up quickly, and replied with a smile: "Our eldest lady hasn't come back yet. What do you two guests want from her? Do you want to come in and wait?"
?”
Sang Yan didn't expect Xuanrao to go out. She didn't want to wait in vain, so she asked, "Do you know when she will come back? What did she do?"
The old man said: "How dare one of our servants inquire about the eldest lady? As for when she will come back, I can't say for sure. I just came back from Duhai yesterday."
Haishi is from nine to eleven in the evening.
It's too late to come back this time.
Sang Yan couldn't wait any longer, so she said, "When she comes back, could you please pass on a message for me?"
The old man nodded and asked, "What are you talking about? Girl, please give me your instructions."
"My old friends in the palace are dear to my heart."
She smiled slightly and returned to the carriage in the face of the old man's stunned eyes.
He Ying followed up: "Are you sure it won't wait?"
Sang Yan nodded: "Sometimes, whether you see someone or not is not that important."
It was enough for her to know that Xuanrao was free and happy.
The group returned to the palace.
Days return to normal.
Sang Yan stopped spending time in the library and spent most of the day in the library, reading, annotating, transcribing and writing some of her own reflections.
This insight involves ideals, love, life, etc., and aims to enlighten women.
Occasionally I would be pulled by He Ying to read the memorial.
She is no longer so resistant to her role as a political consultant.
until
Yongshou Palace sent someone to deliver the message.
"Miss Sang, the Queen Mother invites you."
The visitor is Bo Zhu, a confidant of the Queen Mother.
Sang Yan recognized her and felt anxious: What would happen if the Queen Mother summoned her suddenly?
