The mood of the four people behind Yilan is not much better than that of Yilan, and the girl Yueqing who is following Yilan has obviously been secretly in love with Zahan for a long time.
Every time Yilan mentioned Zhahan, there would be tenderness and unconcealable sadness in her eyes. And when Yilan mentioned Manganjiu and Mrs. Hongxiao, the hatred in her eyes would also be obvious.
As Yilan narrated, Yueqing was so immersed in her own emotions that she forgot that Yilan, who was shivering, still needed her comfort.
Although the three Bayans were worried about Yilan, Yilan and Yueqing were both immersed in their own emotions. Due to the differences between men and women, the three of them could only look at Yilan in tears while feeling sad and distressed.
Occasionally, he would spare his eyes and glare fiercely at Wei Zheng, who guided the princess to express her pain.
In order to understand Xue Yantuo's situation in detail, as well as Mn Chitiao's personality and the situation around him, Wei Zheng led and questioned a woman who had just experienced a bloody chase and had been hiding her inner pain with arrogance and stubbornness. Perhaps in the eyes of others,
Somewhat unkind.
Fang Yiai knew that Wei Zheng's move seemed to be exposing the scars in Yilan's heart, but in fact it was beneficial to Yilan.
For this woman who was suddenly hurt, talking about the pain in her heart and venting her suppressed emotions will reduce the burden on her heart and avoid physical damage caused by excessive suppression of negative emotions.
"You said before that your father and brother have been hiding the murder of them from you. You only knew Mrs. Hongxiao's face when you accidentally saw your brother's death. How did you know the previous events so clearly?" Fang Yiai asked.
road.
"Before my brother escaped from the royal court, he left me a letter. He was afraid that if I didn't know what was going on, I would be harmed by the kidnappers and Mrs. Hongxiao, or use me to harm my father." Yilan looked at Fang Yiai with tearful eyes.
, said in a low mood.
"There are many captives inside and outside the royal court, and Mrs. Hongxiao is in charge. Your father has been 'sick' for more than a day or two. Why did someone say that on the day your brother Wang sneaked out of the royal city, someone said that he was sick outside the city?"
There is medicine that can cure your father, but by chance you heard it?" Fang Yiai's voice remained unchanged and he continued to ask.
Fang Yiai remembered that when Wu Man reported the results of interrogating the prisoners, he said that the person who helped Yilan and others escape safely from Xueyantuo King City was Yan Qina, and Yilan also said that besides her brother Zhahan, the people who grew up with her were
Apart from her personal maid Yue Qing, there was only Yan Qina who was like a biological sister. And since her father and brother's accident, it was Yan Qina who was the closest to her and talked to her about everything.
Even when Zahan was shot to death by random arrows that night, framed for false charges, and his head was cut off and hung in public, it was Yan Qina who was by her side to prevent her from making a sound.
In this series of events, Yan Qina seems to be an indispensable person.
As the eldest daughter of Mangan Chitiao, Yan Qina should have a clear understanding of the person and methods of Mangan Chitiao and Mrs. Hongxiao. And Yilan is close to her, so it can be said that everything about Yilan is
Knowing this well, it is not impossible to design a royal maid to "accidentally" whisper on the path where Yilan is playing alone.
What Fang Yiai couldn't understand was that Yilan said that Zahan loved Yan Qina as much as he loved her. Since Yan Qina knew that Mrs. Hongxiao wanted to be detrimental to Zahan, she could help Yilan escape successfully.
Looking outside the royal city, even if we can't help Zhahan escape successfully, we can still remind Zhahan to avoid dying in vain.
Why didn't she remind Zahan, but instead secretly took Yilan out of the royal city that night, letting Yilan hide in the dark and witness the death of her own brother?
Yilan opened her mouth and looked at Fang Yiai blankly, wanting to say something, but found that her voice was stuck in her throat and could not come out at all.
Yes, my father was declared ill and had been recuperating for more than half a year. Why did he overhear his father’s illness just when Brother Wang was out of the city and wanted to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty and try to prevent the war between the two countries from harming the people?
There is a cure for his illness, but he still requires his daughter to go out of the city to collect it during the lunar month. The location happens to be the southern suburbs of the royal city that Brother Wang passes through on his way to the Tang Dynasty?
Sister Yan Qina is the daughter of Mn Chitiao, so she... No, no, Sister Yan Qina said that Mn Chitiao and the wives he married later, especially Mrs. Hongxiao, because Yan Qina
My sister has half of the royal blood in her body and does not regard Sister Yan Qina as their family at all. Sister Yan Qina will not lie to herself!
Sister Yan Qina has taken good care of herself since she was a child, especially after her mother passed away. Therefore, Sister Yan Qina will not harm herself. Otherwise, how could she help him escape from the royal city? Sister Yan Qina loves herself and still looks forward to the past.
I hurt myself just as much.
Yilan shook her head, trying to get rid of the bad thoughts that appeared in her mind. She kept convincing herself, not daring to think deeply, and subconsciously avoiding the bad feeling.
"No! Sister Yan Qina rescued me from the city!" Yilan shouted to Fang Yiai who was asking the question, as if she was further convincing herself or making a statement.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart caused by Fang Yiai's words, Bayan looked at Yilan who was a little out of control. His fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again. He wanted to step forward to comfort her, but he didn't know how to do it.
"Yes, yes, princess! Miss Yan Qina loves the princess the most, loves the princess the most." Yueqing was startled by Yilan's emotional loss. She bent over and hugged Yilan's trembling shoulders in distress, and kept saying
A comforting voice.
Fang Yiai's questions were just ordinary words of habitual thinking, but she didn't expect Yilan's reaction to be so big.
However, after thinking about it, I can understand that before Zahan died, Yilan was a simple and happy girl who was protected by everyone consciously or unintentionally. However, Zahan died suddenly and tragically, and she died in the face of someone she had always considered close to her.
The blow to her can be imagined.
Then there was the letter that Yilan saw from Zahan left for her, which pointed out the bad intentions of Mangan and his wives and reminded Yilan to take precautions. Without giving her much buffer time, she
She also let her know that Mn Chijiao had evil intentions towards her. With the help of Yan Qina, she finally escaped from the royal city, but was still accompanied by a bloody pursuit all the way.
The combination of various factors, in just over a month, completely overturned all the cognitions and beliefs in Yilan's previous life. The only life-saving straw left in Yilan's heart was Yan Qina, which prevented her from being
His mind was broken by so many things, and it became a weak support and comfort on the way to save his father.
Although Fang Yiai's question told the truth, the implicit consequences pointed out were difficult for Yilan to bear, or she wanted to escape.
Fang Yiai could notice the situation from Yilan's speech. I believe that no one among the guards who followed Yilan and escorted Yilan to Xuancheng for help would not fail to consider it. And they didn't say,
I think she was afraid that if Yan Qina really had ulterior motives for Yilan, the result would be something Yilan couldn't bear.
The only silence in the big tent was Yilan's crying and Yueqing's low voice comforting her.
Looking at Yilan, who is younger than her own children, and seeing the bloody battlefields of Niu Jinda and Wei Zheng, she couldn't help but feel unbearable. She wanted to blame Fang Yiai for his recklessness, but she also understood that Fang was not at fault.
Regarding Yi Ai, what he said was the truth after all.
Fang Yiai also didn't expect that the questions she blurted out following her thoughts would actually make Yilan's emotions so out of control, leading to an obvious self-protective evasion behavior.
Seeing Yilan crying so helplessly, Fang Yiai couldn't help but think of the first time he met Shu'er in the palace. The little girl was also so helpless at the beginning, hiding alone in a remote corner of the imperial garden.
In the bushes, I cried alone with suppressed voice.
Sighing softly, Fang Yiai shook her head in self-reproach, and she couldn't help but miss Shu'er with some distress in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yiai's gentle sigh, heard by Yilan, turned into pity and disapproval, and her shaking head also turned into doubts about her!
Immediately, Yilan was like a cat with hairy fur, breaking away from Yueqing's comfort, and Lihua ran in front of Fang Yiai with tears in her eyes. Fang Yiai was so scared that Fang Yiai leaned stiffly on the back of the chair.
If it weren't for the fact that there were Li Zhong, Wu Hao and Cao Da standing behind him, Fang Yiai might have overturned him and the chair together.
Fang Yiai was not the only one who was frightened by Yilan's sudden action. Even Niu Jinda and Wei Zheng were so startled that they stood up from their seats, fearing that Yilan would be provoked and attack Fang Yiai.
Unexpectedly, Yilan pushed away Yueqing who came to persuade her, and just looked at Fang Yiai intently, telling Fang Yiai one by one about the big and small things that Yan Qina loved and cared for her from childhood to adulthood.
, trying to convince Fang Yiai, but also convincing herself, telling others and telling herself that Sister Yan Qina really loves her and will not do anything detrimental to her.
"You see, in order to cover me, Sister Yan Qina prevented me from being discovered when I left the Royal City. Even though she knew that she would definitely not get anything good when I left the Royal City, she still chose to stay in the Royal City to cover for me.
Also help me take care of my father." Yilan looked at Fang Yiai with hopeful eyes, like a child longing for an adult's approval, and said eagerly.
"Also, Sister Yan Qina could have come to the Tang Dynasty for help and asylum with the letters and tokens of a Tang general she accidentally saved, but for me, Sister Yan Qina ensured the possibility
All the letters and tokens of safety were given to me." Yilan said anxiously, "Sister Yan Qina really cares about me, doesn't she? She hasn't changed, has she?"
Looking at Yilan's face that longed for approval, Fang Yiai really couldn't say a word "no", so she tried her best to speak softly and said, "Yes, Yan Qina has always loved Yilan very much, in the past, and even more so now."
Hearing the definite answer given by Fang Yiai, Yilan relaxed her tense body, took a deep breath, and murmured, "Let me just say, Sister Yan Qina is the best sister.
.”
After hearing Yilan's relaxing words, everyone in the big tent also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After her mood relaxed a little, Yilan realized that she was so close to Fang Yiai. Seeing Fang Yiai being embarrassed by her unintentionally, Yilan felt a little funny.
Although her heart was still heavy, Yilan was still amused by the subconscious defensive movements of Fang Yiai's hands, then her face turned red, she took two steps back, distanced herself from Fang Yiai, and let Fang Yiai sit down again.
good.
After Yilan retreated to a safe distance and Fang Yiai did her best, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without paying attention to Yilan's face, she asked Xiang Yilan and said, "The princess just said that she has letters and tokens from General Tang.
?Can you take it out and take a look? Maybe it’s someone I know.”
