Tibetan beads

"A Cheng!" Concubine Liu was extremely aggrieved, "Auntie is sincere to you, otherwise how could you treat you like that when you came to the capital? I heard that you are married, and you are as happy as your own child. I made a mistake, but my heart has never changed."

"That's not what my cousin said." Yan Cheng said lightly, "You were just betting on me at the beginning. If the Yan family succeeds, then there is a way out. If not, you can also use this to flatter the late emperor. , yes or no?"

Concubine Liu was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's just nonsense! Since Xi'er has betrayed me, she can try her best to please you. A Cheng, you have to be careful, she has voted for Xu San, just in case you tell her the secret ..."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to sow discord here," Yan Cheng remained unmoved, "I have my own plans for my cousin's affairs, so you should talk about yourself!"

Seeing that Concubine Liu could not impress him, she scolded Liu Xi'er countless times in her heart, so she had to find another way.

"A Cheng, this matter is not what you imagined. Xi'er only heard a few words and didn't know the inside story, so she said such a thing."

"Really?" Yan Cheng's eyes were full of suspicion.

Concubine Liu sighed: "You know, when you came to the capital, the first emperor originally wanted to keep you and return Yan Er."

"what?"

Concubine Liu looked up at him: "You are the eldest son, and Yan Er is the second son. Does the late emperor want to keep anyone else?"

Seeing that he did not refute, she continued: "The Yan family is becoming more and more powerful. If you are really allowed to stay, the late emperor will never let you back. You will become a pawn to threaten them when the Yan family raises troops. The situation has come to this One step, it is impossible for the Yan family to stop fighting for you. At that time, who will care about you? Anyway, your father still has Yan Er, and he can still fight, so it will not have much influence on the Yan family."

Yan Cheng was silent for a long time, and asked: "How did you solve it later? Did my aunt convince the late Emperor?"

Hearing that he called his aunt again, Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "I don't want to ask you for credit, so I haven't said anything about it. Aunt knew that the late emperor had this idea, so she revealed something vaguely, and Xi'er thought I was going to sell you out. it is good."

Yan Cheng frowned: "Did you tell the first emperor?"

Concubine Liu hurriedly said: "Of course I didn't say it, your mother is the late emperor's concubine, if I really say that, do I still want to kill the Liu family?"

"What did your aunt say?"

"I just said that there is something wrong with your life experience. When you were born, Mrs. Dong was only married for more than seven months. I also vaguely heard some rumors in the early years. If you let your brothers go back, you can use this matter to let Yan The clan brought disaster to Xiao Qiang."

"The late emperor agreed?"

Concubine Liu nodded: "The first emperor moved his mind, but not long after, the false emperor..."

Yan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then listened to Concubine Liu's statement: "A Cheng, this time it's my aunt who made it up for herself, but her heart is also for you! The achievements of the Second Yan Dynasty are getting higher and higher, and your father even let Xu San be in charge of military affairs and military power. Could it be that they belonged to their family? I was really worried, but you didn't listen to me, that's why you made such a bad move and let Xi'er stay by your side."

Speaking of this, she became angry again: "You damn girl, you don't want to and don't tell me clearly, you insist on entrapping me like this."

Yan Cheng still didn't speak, but his eyebrows and eyes have relaxed a lot.

Concubine Liu noticed it, and her expression became sad: "Look at Auntie's current appearance, she is still tight-lipped at this stage of the field, don't you believe that Auntie is sincere?"

Yan Cheng stared at her: "Auntie, remember what you said, you can't miss a single word about this matter, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, I will have a terrible death!" Concubine Liu swore, "Are you willing to believe it now?"

Yan Cheng's expression softened completely, and he said: "It's getting late, I should go. Auntie will practice here for the time being, and there are too many people staring at her now, so I can't plead for you yet."

With his words, Concubine Liu finally saw hope.She wiped away her tears: "It's just cultivation, what's the point of suffering for you? As long as you remember your aunt in your heart, it's worth being locked up here for the rest of your life."

"Not at all." Yan Cheng said vaguely, "My aunt is still young, she will go out one day."

Concubine Liu smiled: "Okay, Auntie is waiting for you."

After Yan Cheng left, Concubine Liu let out a long breath, and slumped down on the futon exhausted.

Finally coaxed!It's only been a month, and she can't eat or sleep well. The teachers and wives who have been invited wake up at Yin hour every day. After morning class, she is only bright, and she has to go to work after eating two steamed buns. In the evening class, I have to recite the scriptures until late at night, otherwise I will not be able to recite the scriptures the next day, and raising my hand is a ruler.

If she lived like this for the rest of her life, she wished she could hang herself.Fortunately, Yan Cheng believed her words, as long as he came to power, she could always regain her freedom.Until then……

Concubine Liu sneered when she thought of Princess Zhao who had spoken to her.

At that time, let Mrs. Dong have a taste of this!

Yan Cheng quietly left the palace and got into the carriage.

His entourage asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you really believe her words?"

Yan Cheng said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, as long as she believes what I say."

As long as there is hope in her heart, Concubine Liu will firmly keep the secret.His status is stable but not too stable, this secret of life experience must not be known to others.

Yan Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, thinking of Liu Xi'er who had already gone south.When she was about to leave, he gave her someone alone. I don't know what's going on now.

……

Duke of Chu.

Xu Huan looked at his daughter with a smile: "Why are you free today? You also brought wine."

Xu Yin filled his father's glass and said, "Father is in the Bowen Museum every day, and the news is better than mine. Why bother to ask?"

Xu Huan laughed, picked up the cup and touched her: "Qi County has been taken down, and Jiangbei is already surrounded. Congratulations."

After the father and daughter had a drink, Xu Huan took out a letter from the drawer: "Your sister's, it was just delivered today."

Xu Yin opened it and was overjoyed: "Sister gave birth! Mother and child are safe, it's great!"

Xu Huan nodded with a smile: "It's too far away, and I can't have the full moon wine, but the gift is already prepared for my father, and I will tell them to leave in these two days."

Xu Yin said happily: "I've prepared it too, and asked them to take it with me."

"it is good."

Joy on top of joy, the two inevitably drank a few more glasses.

Xu Huan sighed: "Your sister, I am completely relieved. With a son-in-law, she will have a stable position in the Dongjiang Palace, and her life will not be bad. Now I am waiting for A Ling to come back. I am always worried about whether it is a war or not. "

"He's smart, nothing will happen!" Xu Yin said, "There is still King Zhao, father and son are looking after each other, no matter how powerful Jiang Yi is, he is not their opponent."

There is no guarantee of war, but it is unlucky to talk about it, so Xu Huan didn't talk about it.

"you are right."
