Kang Yanning's face was pale, her hands were trembling slightly as she held the silk handed back by the maid Forsythia, her lips quivering, "Forsythia, is this really what Peony gave to you?"
Forsythia looked at her young lady's appearance and quickly replied, "Yes, Princess, I saw it with my own eyes, that's Sister Forsythia. I was picking up the snacks I ordered two days ago at Chenji Pastry, when someone suddenly bumped into me at the door.
, when I came to my senses, the person lowered his head and walked away, but I had this silk in my hand. I looked at the back like Sister Shaoyao, waiting for me to chase after him, but the person disappeared."
Kang Yanning unfolded the silk cloth again. The panic in her heart could no longer be tolerated. With a "pop" sound, she spat out a mouthful of blood from her chest. The words on the silk cloth were stained with blood, making it shockingly red.
Only Jianzi wrote
My son:
Presumably, when Yan Ning saw this letter, her parents were already gone.
The current situation is turbulent. The third prince is ruthless and plotting against our Kang family. His plans are very big. If our Kang family is destroyed, it may be related to it. If the Kang family is destroyed, you should go and find His Highness. I have been kind to His Highness before. He
I will send you back to the northwest.
In your room in the Northwest Villa, under the bricks you and your brother pried open when you were a child, you can find the gold and silver land deeds left to you by your parents.
My parents know that my son has a resolute temperament, is smart and courageous. But my parents only want you to live well.
Don't seek revenge, be sure to take care of yourself.
It was the word "Daddy"! Kang Yanning burst into tears, her heart throbbing in pain, as if she was being executed by Ling Chi.
Ten days ago, her husband, the third prince, personally told Kang Yanning that news came from the Western Regions that King Kang and his son were fighting against the Turks and were captured by the Turkic generals. They were then beheaded in public. Princess Kang died after learning of the defeat.
Yan Ning fainted after hearing the news about her parents and brother. The third prince, Dr. Xuan, asked her to rest on the bed after seeing her, and no further news came.
Forsythia was startled when she saw her young lady vomiting blood. She immediately took out the heart-protecting pill that the imperial doctor had prescribed before and stepped forward to support her and feed her. "Prince Concubine, don't scare me. What is written in this letter?"
"Forsythia." Yan Ning calmed down her mind. She had been sad and haggard due to family matters in the past few days. Now that she read this letter, she seemed to wake up. Yan Ning covered her eyes, tears gurgling down her fingers.
And down.
"Tell me what the third prince has been doing these days."
Forsythia frowned and thought carefully, "The third prince has not been in the house these days. When I went to get pastries, I heard from the housekeeper that there seemed to be something big going on in Beijing these days, and many shops were closed. Please hurry up.
Go and come back quickly."
Yan Ning's hand crossed the silk again, feeling filled with regret in her heart.
She asked to marry the third prince, and it was nothing more than the beginning of a picture book. When she first came to Kyoto, she was ostracized by everyone and pushed into the water, but it was he who saved her.
In Yan Ning's eyes, this was destiny. Yan Ning had been very determined and determined since she was a child. Her family did not want her to marry the prince, and they tried to dissuade her in every possible way. At that time, she wholeheartedly married her. But she didn't care at all.
Despite her family's dissuasion, her brother protected her, and her parents loved her very much. In the end, they had no choice but to let her go.
Daddy would never lie to her. The silk said that the Kang family was destroyed. It must be related to the third prince. Thinking of this, another mouthful of blood welled up in Yan Ning's throat, and there was a taste of rust in her mouth.
Yan Ning kept recalling all the things she did when she came to Kyoto. She was wrong. She was stubborn for her own love and refused to listen to her family's dissuasion. It was her willfulness that harmed her family.
But why?
Yan Ning clenched her hands so hard that the nails that had been there for a long time were broken off in her hands, and blood dripped from her fingertips. Forsythia exclaimed and grabbed Yan Ning's hand, "Miss!"
In the past, Forsythia was the most stable and considerate person. Seeing her young lady's appearance, Forsythia knew that something was wrong.
"Forsythia." Yan Ning held Forsythia's hands and whispered, "Leave, leave now. You go find the prince. Say I asked you to find him, and you go back to the Western Regions."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, took the silk in her hand and stroked it carefully, and then stuffed it into Forsythia's hand without any hesitation.
Yan Ning wanted to give further instructions, but she heard footsteps approaching. She quickly took off the golden hairpin from her head and put it under the quilt. Forsythia also quickly stuffed the silk into her lapel.
Immediately, the door was opened. The person who came had handsome features and eyebrows like stars. He stood at the door against the light, looking at Yan Ning with an indistinguishable expression.
"Yanning, are you feeling better?" He took a step forward and asked carefully with a worried look on his face.
Seeing that Yan Ning did not speak, only staring at him with dark eyes, which were no longer as gentle and affectionate as usual, the third prince Wei Jiaxiao had a vague premonition in his heart.
Forsythia lowered her head and replied, "The princess woke up today and drank the medicine. The medicine may be a bit bitter."
Yes, Yan Ning is afraid of hardship the most. When she was a child, the whole family would coax her to take medicine. Her brother always liked to tease her and compete with her to drink the medicine, as if it was a delicious thing.
She prepared the candied fruit early and fed her gently to eat. Yan Ning's eyes were filled with a layer of water.
Wei Jiaxiao wanted to take a closer look at Yan Ning's expression, so he walked to the bed and said warmly, "Why are you still acting like a child?"
Yan Ning looked at the face she once loved most, tears welling up uncontrollably. Her voice was not only trembling but also a little aggrieved, "Why did you come here? It's so painful." Yes, it was so painful.
Wei Jiaxiao realized that her expression was not fake, so he felt relieved and waved his hand to Forsythia to signal her to go out. Then he patted her hand and said, "I have been busy recently and took care of some things."
Yan Ning knew that Wei Jiaxiao, like his emperor father, was suspicious by nature. She did not raise her head to look at Forsythia who was running away. She put her arms around Wei Jiaxiao, put her head against his chest, and said, "Jiaxiao, I only have you now." She
He gently stroked Jia Xiao's back, "What's going on? I fainted when I heard that my parents and brother were both dead that day. But my father and brother are the gods of war in the Western Regions, how could they be defeated?"
Wei Jiaxiao paused for a moment, then stroked the tail of Yan Ning's hair, and slowly explained, "General Du, who is beside your father, reported that your father had been in private contact with the Turks and submitted the correspondence. Since the matter is serious, the Holy Father declares your father's right to retire from the army."
Come back to see me, your father disobeys the decree and has been beheaded by the envoys sent by the Holy Emperor."
Yan Ning listened to his words and sneered at the corner of her mouth. She really thought she was a fool. If she was collaborating with the enemy, she, the daughter of a traitorous general, would have been imprisoned long ago. How could her maid leave the city today?
I just heard him continue to say, "I begged my father for mercy, but you are no longer allowed to be the third prince's concubine."
Yan Ning understood, "Are you going to raise me outside?"
Wei Jiaxiao was a little hesitant, "I know you are a high-spirited person, but your current situation..." He seemed to have made up his mind, "Don't worry, I will protect you forever."
Yan Ning vaguely felt something was wrong, it seemed that the current Wei Jiaxiao was far different from her impression.
Wei Jiaxiao has been omnipotent since he appeared in her life. He saved her from danger, and after the marriage, the entire third prince's house showed her utmost respect.
In the court, when the current emperor suppressed good ministers, the third prince argued hard. She had only one wife in the palace, and even the third prince's mother-in-law Shu Fei took concubines for him, and the third prince simply walked away. In her impression, he
If you are brave and resourceful, and have deep love and righteousness, you would not have to rely on him.
Yan Ning had never seen him so hesitant, as if he couldn't make a decision.
Yan Ning decided to give it another try. She said softly, "As long as Jia Xiao loves me, it doesn't matter whether she is my wife or not." When Wei Jia Xiao heard this, his expression changed, and he hugged her and reassured her in a low voice, "You and
Don’t worry, I will ascend the throne soon. Then I will definitely make you a noble concubine.”
He patted her hand again, "I have something to do in the court, so I'll leave first. I'll leave you out for now. I'll pick you up soon."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ning hugged her a little tighter, as if she wanted to kiss her, and put her mouth against Wei Jiaxiao's lips, saying softly, "But what about my family's feud?"
Wei Jiaxiao didn't react and was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Yan Ning pull out the golden hairpin from the quilt and stab him in the chest fiercely. Even if Yan Ning used all her strength, she was a woman after all and her strength was too small.
It didn't hit the heart.
Wei Jiaxiao was furious after being stabbed. He slapped her with his backhand and pushed her to the ground. "Thank you for wanting to leave you a way out and hide you. It turns out that everyone in your Kang family is a bitch."
He stroked the faint blood on his chest and looked at her with venom in his eyes.
"Bitch! Don't you want to know how your parents died? Then I'll tell you! I asked the old man to give me the military talisman in a nice voice, but the old man didn't know what to do and said he only obeyed the imperial power. That's what he did with the emperor.
I am the enemy! I sent General Du to report your father's collaboration with the enemy, but my father didn't know what evil he possessed, so he believed him and kept silent."
He sneered, "I asked General Du to sell the whereabouts of your father and your brother to the Turks, and they were beheaded by the Turks. General Du, tell me, when your father and your brother's heads rolled down, their eyes were still open."
!”
He actually laughed and said, "Oh, I'm afraid he never thought that the tough-minded Kang family would have a stupid daughter like you to plunge into my prince's mansion. I also want to thank you. If I hadn't used your name, how could I have done it?"
Recover the strength of your father's northwest army. When I ascend the throne, I will give you a noble concubine who will be as kind as you can be!"
Yan Ning was already furious, and when she heard him say that again, she vomited blood again. She cried blood and swore like a ghost, "Wei Jiaxiao! I was stupid, I believed you, and brought this to my Kang family. I, Kang Yanning, swear this."
, if the day comes, I will crush you to ashes!" After saying this, Kang Yanning stopped looking at him and slammed into the wall next to her. She had already had the will to die when she saw the letter, and when she heard Wei Jiaxiao's cruel words
With such harsh words, I only regretted that I had harmed the Kang family, and just wanted to follow my family.
Kang Yanning's body slowly fell along the wall pillar, and there was a large amount of blood on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were sad and she murmured, "Yanning was wrong. We...we will be reunited soon..."
Before Kang Yanning finished speaking, his breath had disappeared.
Wei Jiaxiao was stunned for a moment, then walked over to check her pulse, and found that Kang Yanning was really dead. He wiped his bloody fingertips on Kang Yanning's robe in disgust, frowned, and said to himself, "
I originally wanted to secretly keep her alive...even if she dies, it will be difficult to deal with it if she finds out. She is much more difficult to deal with than Kang Yanning."
