Murong An'er's punishment for defying the court and openly challenging the emperor has been punished, but it is not serious, just house arrest.
In the morning of this day, Hong Yan rarely entered the palace and packed his things with Feng Hongluan.
"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to go to Bieyuan."
Knowing that Hong Yan had been quite busy recently, and that Hong Yan's villa was already on a mountainside somewhere far outside the countryside, she was afraid that Hong Yan would be tired from running back and forth.
Hong Yan just chuckled: "Brother Emperor, I have already told you that I want to accompany you these days. If there is nothing urgent, Brother Emperor will not summon me."
There were not many things to pack, and they were all basically available in the garden. I just asked Yang Yun to pack some things that I would never leave behind. There was really nothing else I needed to prepare.
Feng Hongluan had heard a little about the turmoil in the court these days, and she also knew something about Murong An'er's house arrest.
But at home, Hongyan didn't say much, and she didn't ask.
Today's world is completely different from what she expected.
She couldn't give Hongyan any opinions or suggestions.
She thought that Hong Yan could always arrange everything without her having to worry too much.
We set out in the evening as scheduled, and at 2:00 p.m., an unexpected guest arrived.
The arrival of Princess Qinyang was really beyond Feng Hongluan's expectation.
In fact, she hasn't seen Princess Qinyang for a long time.
Something happened to the prince, and the queen was heartbroken. When she went into the palace to accompany the queen, she didn't see Princess Qinyang. At that time, she thought it was because the two people's time to accompany the queen was staggered, so she didn't think much about it.
Moreover, Princess Qinyang has a weak temperament and likes purity. She probably wanted to accompany the queen to comfort her, and she would choose a special time when there were only a few people around, so she never saw her.
Now that the princess suddenly came to visit, she calculated carefully that it seemed that she had never seen Princess Qinyang again since she sent a letter to Princess Qinyang last time.
There were many things going on. She did not go to the palace again, and Huang Dingde did not visit her again. It has been a month since the incident, and I don't know what is happening to Princess Qinyang and Huang Dingde now.
Intuitively, Princess Qinyang came out of the palace this time because she was related to Huang Dingde.
as expected.
Princess Qinyang looked tired. As soon as she saw Hong Yan, she shed a few tears. Her face was much thinner and her face looked rather haggard.
"Xiaoyan, Hongluan, you must help me this time."
"What's wrong?" Although Hongyan and Qinyang were not born from the same mother, they were the two brothers and sisters who got along best with each other because of their similar temperaments and habits.
Whenever Hongyan enters the palace, he always goes to see Princess Qinyang.
However, this time, when Hong Yan entered the palace, he asked the emperor to take him to review the memorials. The little free time he had was given to Feng Hongluan. Therefore, Hong Yan and Qin Yang had not seen each other for a long time.
Now looking at Princess Qinyang's tearful appearance, Hong Yan's face was filled with distress.
Feng Hongluan looked at Yang Yun's presence and was afraid that there was something inconvenient for Qinyang to say, so she sent Yang Yun out to make tea and prepare cakes.
Feng Hongluan was considerate. Princess Qinyang glanced at Feng Hongluan gratefully. Seeing Yang Yun go out, she sobbed and spoke: "The correspondence between me and Dingde was discovered by the Queen Mother. She has been keeping me under house arrest.
, and Dingde, she said that in order to prevent Dingde from harming me, she wanted to deal with Dingde. After all the hard work, I finally had to escape from the palace today. Xiaoyan, please help me, you help me, you
Help me find Dingde, I'm just afraid, I'm just afraid..."
I never thought that a gentle woman who was as light as the wind, as indifferent as water, and always looked unfazed by favors or humiliations would have such a fragile side.
But Feng Hongluan and Hong Yan didn't take it seriously, otherwise they should have discovered that Huang Dingde and Princess Qinyang didn't react at all. Something must have happened.
Hongyan is a man, and he is not good at this kind of personal relationship between children. The only thing he can do is to comfort Qinyang: "My mother is not so cruel. Sixth sister, please be patient. I will send someone to Huang Dingde's house now."
Let’s find out.”
"Go quickly, Xiaoyan, I'm very scared."
"Well, Hong Luan, please help me accompany my sixth sister. I will go in person."
As the sun sets in the west, it seems that today's trip to the Villa is hopeless.
However, things have to be prioritized. Bieyuan Hot Spring can be bathed at any time, but Huang Dingde's life cannot be delayed for a moment.
What's more, Huang Dingde is also a like-minded and close friend to Hong Yan.
Feng Hongluan had never seen Hong Yan be courteous to anyone, only Huang Dingde, which made Hong Yan look at him with admiration. Normally, Hong Yan also admired Huang Dingde very much. If it weren't for the identity barrier between the two, Hong Yan would even wish to do so.
I have known Huang Dingde for eight years and have become brothers.
Giving Hong Yan a reassuring look, she said, "Go, I'm here."
Qinyang seemed to have completely given up her daughter's restraint, and stepped forward to hold Hongyan's hand: "If something really happens to him, you must not hide it from me. I have already made up my mind. In this life, life and death,
Xiangsui, you and Hongluan have a very close relationship, you should understand my feelings, Xiaoyan, no matter what happens, please tell me the truth, okay?"
This feeling is so touching.
Calling someone, unable to refuse her request, Hong Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly: "I promise you, no matter what the outcome is, I will not hide it from you."
Yes, if we put ourselves in their shoes, how could Feng Hongluan and Hong Yan survive without each other?
If Huang Dingde really died, he might have hidden it from Qinyang, and the days without him by his side would be worse than death for Qinyang.
I miss you so much that I can't see you, and I miss you so much that my heart is filled with bitterness.
Feng Hongluan stepped forward and held Princess Qinyang's hand.
This woman whose life was delayed because she looked like the late emperor's beloved concubine, this princess with an indifferent and gentle temperament, only fell in love with such a vigorous love once in her life. God cannot be so cruel.
Although in her memory, Huang Dingde was alive and well when she was burned to death, she felt uneasy at the moment. Everyone's life wheels had changed. She was not sure whether Huang Dingde in this life could still be like him.
Just like in the previous life, he achieved great fame, gained both fame and wealth, and became a great painter that everyone was eager to pursue.
What she was even more uncertain about was what the future of Huang Dingde and the princess would be like.
Hong Yan went to inquire, and she and Qin Yang were waiting inside the house.
Qinyang felt uneasy, and Feng Hongluan felt the same, but was at a loss for words and didn't know how to comfort him.
Before the end came, she was also uneasy.
Hongyan had been away for a long time, and when he came back, his expression was unclear whether he was happy or sad. Qinyang almost threw himself at him: "How is it?"
Hong Yan's face showed a slight hesitation, and Qin Yang almost burst into tears: "What's going on?"
"Huang Dingde, became a monk."
"What!"
Although this news is not as cruel as Huang Dingde's death, it is still unbearable.
"How could it be? He said that the bond between life and death is broad and we grow old together. How could I abandon me and become a monk?"
"Is this what the Queen Mother means?" Feng Hongluan raised her head and looked at Hong Yan.
Hong Yan's gaze fell on Qin Yang apologetically. After all, the Queen Mother was Hong Yan's biological mother. Hong Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for the way the Queen Mother treated Qin Yang.
In order to comfort Qinyang, he could only say: "I will try my best to persuade the Queen Mother. I went to the temple to find Huang Dingde, and he asked me to give this to you, Sixth Sister."
It was a jade pendant. Feng Hongluan had a similar one in his hand, but the pattern on the jade pendant was different from the one in Hongyan's hand.
Her jade pendant was given to her by Hong Yan, who said that every prince would be made by a palace jade craftsman when he was born, and what Hong Yan gave to Princess Qinyang now was almost a piece of jade pendant.
Qinyang saw the jade pendant and burst into tears: "He even returned the love token I gave him. He doesn't want me anymore, right?"
Sure enough, this thing belongs to Qinyang and is the certificate of royal birth in Qinyang.
Presumably the jade pendant must also have Qinyang's birth date engraved on it.
Looking at Qinyang who seemed to be heartbroken, the couple didn't know what to say.
I was in a good mood today, but now, this incident has disrupted my mood.
Looking at Qinyang with a sad and wry smile, the dim sunset hits Qinyang's beautiful profile. She is no longer young, and there are even a few fine lines in the corners of her eyes. Her youth has been wasted too much, and only this is left.
Some.
If she doesn't go crazy, she will really get old.
Feng Hongluan didn't know where she got the courage, and suddenly grabbed Qinyang's hand: "Even if I want to say goodbye to the princess, I have to make it clear in person, let's go, let's go find him."
Hongyan was obviously stunned by Feng Hongluan's actions, but a smile of approval appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he took Qinyang's other hand: "Yes, Sixth Sister, even if we want to separate, it's not his fault.
After all, you haven’t agreed yet, have you?”
Crystal tears streaked across the corner of Qinyang's mouth, a bitter smile spread on his face, but his tone was extremely firm: "Yes, I don't agree."
Hanshan Temple is a little-known, dilapidated small temple with only a few monks. The temple is very small, and there are only a few nearby villagers as pilgrims on weekdays. As soon as you enter, you will feel a sense of decay and coldness.
The young novice who was cleaning was quite discerning. When he saw the three men and women in fine clothes who had come together, he did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Is the donor here to offer incense or to fulfill a wish?"
"Little master, please let Master Ru Nian come out."
If you miss it, why not not miss it? Or if you miss it?
The young novice monk was stunned for a moment, made a Buddha's hand sign, bowed and said, "Junior brother Ru Nian doesn't see any guests."
"Then don't blame us for disturbing the purity of the Buddhist hall." Feng Hongluan had a domineering look on his face, naturally he wanted to scare the little novice monk.
The child couldn't help being frightened. As expected, he panicked and said hurriedly: "Buddhism is pure, but you are practicing nonsense. Ru Nian is in the third meditation room in the backyard. He has not stopped the world of mortals. Sooner or later, he will cause trouble for our temple. If you want to
He was taken away early and didn't chant sutras or chant Buddhist scriptures. I really don't know why master kept him."
Obviously, Huang Dingde is quite unpopular here.
But Huang Dingde's temper is such that he can confide in people he likes.
And if he doesn't like someone, he won't even look at him.
Although everyone's destiny wheel has changed in this life, Huang Dingde's personality should be the same as in his previous life, with a very weird temper.
People who don't know think he is arrogant, at least that's what Feng Hongluan used to think.
However, after getting along with each other, I realized that it was not as it seemed in the impression.
Huang Dingde is a person with a cold temperament, but he is very warm-hearted towards his close friends.
In this temple, no one appreciates his talents, and he is not the kind of person who likes to socialize, so naturally he is not popular.
Moreover, it is not surprising that Huang Dingde offended some people due to his cool temperament.
The young novice monk in front of him seemed to have a disdain for Huang Dingde, and he immediately betrayed Huang Dingde.
Some things are better left to Qinyang and Huang Dingde to resolve privately. Feng Hongluan and Hongyan looked at each other and understood each other. Hongyan said: "Sixth sister, you go ahead. Why don't you and Hongluan wait here?"
you."
Qinyang's eyes were very firm: "Yeah!"
There was no hesitation in his steps.
It seems that what she is looking for is not a result that may make her heartbroken, but to bring Huang Dingde back and to hold her true love in the palm of her hand.
Hong Yan and Feng Hongluan left the temple and walked side by side nearby. It was already dark. There was a path outside the temple. There were lanterns lit on the path. They were separated by about ten steps, so it didn't look dark.
Circles of dim yellow elongated the figures of the two people, and both of them were thinking deeply.
Hong Yan suddenly held Feng Hongluan's hand tightly: "I'm very glad that you and I persisted."
Feng Hongluan knew what he was talking about, and the marriage between the two was not always smooth sailing. In order to be together, she did not hesitate to use self-destructive methods to destroy her reputation.
Looking at her swollen belly, she became filled with sadness: "It was revealed in April that I was pregnant with your child, but this child only came in May, more than a month later, even though I am only seven now.
Month, but the outside world only knows that I am almost nine months old. Hey, I am really worried. I am pregnant in ten months. If I am pregnant to ten months, people may say that I am pregnant with a monster."
Hong Yan laughed: "Who dares to say that about you! Who dares to say that my child is a monster, I will kill him."
It's hard for him to still have the intention to laugh. It was a mistake at that time. Besides, the emperor had even given birth, so it was difficult to clarify. Her stomach was already empty, but she had to pretend to be pregnant.
It's good now, the outside world knows that this child is almost nine months old and will be born in one more month.
But the child is actually just over seven months old.
I usually don't think about this problem, but now I suddenly become worried.
There have always been premature births in the world, and I have never heard of late births. Even if it is late birth, it will only last for ten days at most. For her, it is more than a month. By then, I am afraid that it will cause criticism.
"Yuyou Zhongkou, you can block them all, otherwise you can find an isolated place and hide me."
She was just joking.
Hong Yan looked at her with serious eyes: "Then in the other garden, no one will bother you."
There seemed to be some secret hidden in his eyes, but when Feng Hongluan was about to explore, the secret flashed past, and his face returned to a joking look: "What do you think? Otherwise, there is really no way to explain the child's
Something happened."
Feng Hongluan thought for a moment and sighed in annoyance: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. The worst case scenario is that the doctor will lie and say that the time I was sick delayed the child's growth, so the child was born late."
She would think of something.
Hong Yan didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and hugged her gently, putting his warm palm on her cheek that was blown cold by the night wind: "I will give you and your child the greatest happiness in the world."
Deep in his heart, a warm wind blew up. Although it was the coldest month of winter, his broad chest and rough palms felt the warmer warmth of the May sun.
She pressed her closer, and suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying in pain from the temple.
"Sixth Sister!" Hong Yan frowned.
Feng Hongluan's face also changed greatly: "Go and have a look!"
*
A small stream of blood, like a trickle, fell from the right arm of Huang Dingde, who was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe.
At the source of the blood, there was a shocking piece of flesh and bone peeled off.
Qinyang's face was pale, and he was crying so hard that he was shaking.
As for Huang Dingde, his face was equally pale. He didn't seem to see Hong Yan and Feng Hongluan rushing in. He just looked at Princess Qinyang in front of him indifferently and said word by word: "Isn't it my talent that you like?"
, isn’t it the painting I made? Now, I have disabled my right hand, I have nothing, I am just a monk who can never pick up a paintbrush again.”
"You..." Feng Hongluan looked at Huang Dingde in shock.
What is he going to do?
Is this his way of rejecting Princess Qinyang?
Destroying his right hand, he is so amazing!
Qinyang was crying so hard that he was out of breath. Huang Dingde's sarcastic words had no intention of stopping: "I told you not to hurt me again. Any time you see me, you may kill my whole family.
I once had a crush on you. It was just because you were good-looking and a dignified princess. I wanted to be rich and powerful. I wanted to be a prince-in-law. I was fed up with living in poverty on the Calligraphy and Painting Street.
The days when painting makes a living. Otherwise, how could I like you? If you don’t see how old you are, you won’t see how old I am? I am willing to let your old cow eat young grass, nothing more than..."
"Shut up..."
Hong Yan's eyes were filled with condensation. Although as a bystander, he could easily see Huang Dingde's good intentions, every word in this sentence was like a knife or a needle.
Looking at Qinyang, who was pale and almost fainting, Hong Yan couldn't bear to let Huang Dingde continue his good intentions.
Tears like broken pearls couldn't help falling from Qinyang Qingming's eyes. Feng Hongluan thought Qinyang was going to faint and faint, but Qinyang staggered, stepped forward and hugged Huang Dingde's hand.
Crying and hurriedly bandaging his wounds: "You lied to me, you just lied to me, do you think I will leave like this? Do you think you scolded me, you humiliated me, you lied, and I will leave if you cripple this hand?"
?”
"Go away!" Huang Dingde's tone was obviously unstable, and he was choking with a bit of suppressed sobs. "Go away, take her away for me."
He almost whined.
Seeing this situation, Hong Yan knew that if the stalemate continued today, both of them would be injured more, so he stepped forward to pull Qin Yang away.
But Qinyang, who was usually dignified and elegant, was like a mad woman at this moment. She broke away from Hong Yan's hand and picked up a bloody dagger from the ground with lightning speed. Without waiting for Hong Yan,
When someone reacted, the sharp edge of the dagger slashed across her cheek from top to bottom.
"I can leave." Every word caused a drop of blood to fall.
Hong Yan's face turned pale, and he exclaimed as he went up and snatched Qin Yang's dagger. Qin Yang's eyes did not even look at Hong Yan, but looked directly at Huang Dingde with such misery, and shouted almost hysterically: "You are not
Say, you are interested in my face, and I am interested in your hands. If you ruin my preference for you, I will ruin your preference for me."
Qinyang's steadfastness shocked Feng Hongluan.
After destroying her appearance, Feng Hongluan knew that Qinyang was not out of anger or revenge. She just wanted to tell Huang Dingde that if she continued to drive her away, she would destroy herself bit by bit.
"Qinyang!" A man would not shed tears easily, but at this moment, Huang Dingde could no longer pretend to be indifferent and decisive. Two lines of tears fell down slowly, and his eyes were so painful that people couldn't bear to see them.
It is difficult to get married if you have lovers.
This feeling and scene are so desolate.
Feng Hongluan couldn't help but shed tears. Fortunately, Hongyan was sensible and pulled the two of them away and said anxiously: "Man can conquer nature, what are you going to do? Hongluan, stop the bleeding of the two of them quickly. I'll go get someone."
help."
Seeing Huang Dingde's hands and Qinyang's face bleeding profusely, she recovered from the shock and pain and hurriedly pressed down on Hong Yanfeng's house and stepped forward to stop the bleeding.
This fateful mandarin duck's love is strong and heroic.
If possible, she would be willing to tell the two of them that their destiny can actually be changed by themselves. She is a living example.
Naturally, there are some things that she cannot teach by words and deeds, but she always believes that man can conquer nature.
I just hope they can persevere.
She just couldn't understand why the wheel of fate had changed so inconsistently with its original trajectory. What would be the ending for Huang Dingde and Qinyang?
——Digression——
Sister Xiaojiu is really helpless and wants to know more, but I was used to being lazy at 6000 and couldn't adjust the "time difference" all of a sudden. Oh my god, I'm even more used to it at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. I can't even adjust the "jet difference".
