Chang Anqing

Chapter 58

When Li's letter arrived in Hongnong, there was almost no suspense in the Yang family's response. After two discussions, the marriage between Yang Yan and Baoying was set on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Immerse yourself in upcoming events.

But what caught people off guard was that since Yang Yan returned to the mansion that night, he did not know whether it was because he was too tired to inspect the river for several days, or because he came back due to the strong wind and rain and caught the cold air. The next day, he caught the wind and cold. Yang Yan didn't feel anything different, but he didn't know why his condition got worse after a few days. He repeated high fever for several days, and when it was serious, he slurred nonsense in his speech, which shocked Li to summon all the imperial physicians. After entering the manor for consultation day and night, he even took care of himself without closing his eyes for seven days. Seeing that Yang Yan was lingering on the bed for half a month, Yang Yancai gradually turned the corner, but he was still more lethargic and less awake.

Because of this, the government has a lot of criticisms about this sudden marriage. Privately, they all say that the second lady of the Yang family has a bad face and looks like a husband. Erlang Yang Yanfang has married her, and she was as strong as before. Erlang fell sick like a mountain, and was almost tossed out of his life.

Mr. Li, who was in charge of the mansion, seemed to be unaware of the matter because he was busy with the Langao Courtyard, and because no one pressed him, as time went on, these statements became more and more clamorous.

However, Yang Baoying seemed to have really let it go, and turned a deaf ear to these malicious words, but went to Wuzhu Garden as usual every day, and went to Chaoluyuan with Li Sui to visit Li's family in the morning and evening, and when he came back, he copied it alone. After praying for Yang Yan, Hui Rong and others, who were worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this, but Li Sui, who accompanied him day and night, felt a little worried.

Because Yang Yan now has a marriage contract, although Li Sui and Li Sui are cousins ​​who have grown up since childhood, but Li Sui deeply feels the truth of gold, so it was not until dinner that day that Li Sui took Li Sui with him. Yu Nu and Yu Nu came to the Langao Courtyard, which they hadn't set foot in for a long time. At this moment, the sky was still white with fish belly, but when they looked up, the dark blue sky had already revealed half of the shallow crescent moon.

From a distance, the quiet and serene Langao Courtyard was already lit up with lights. When Li Sui followed Mrs. Li to the corridor, the maids on duty quickly lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads nervously. With Yan's illness, Mrs. Li is extremely restless these days, and she often reprimands people in the mansion, which is very different from the usual dignified tolerance. Therefore, everyone in the mansion, especially those who serve in Langao Academy, are cautious and do not dare to show any more. Voice, lest we go wrong.

When Li Sui helped Mrs. Li into the house, he saw that the blue screen windows in the house were all covered. Because the gilt-hollowed chi beast incense burner on the case was lit with the incense of sycamore, which Yang Yan always liked, it didn't feel dull and soft. Under the candlelight, Yang Yan lay quietly on the agarwood wood carving of auspicious beasts on the hollowed-out fence bed. Ruyu's face lost a lot of blood, and the drooping eyelashes cast a shadow, and there was still a square stack of Supa between his foreheads. As if just fell asleep.

"Mrs. Captain."

Seeing the imperial doctor who was busy in front of the couch stepping forward to salute, Mrs. Li just looked at Yang Yan on the couch with worry, raised her hand at will, and said, "How is Erlang?"

Hearing Mrs. Li's question, the imperial physician hurriedly replied one by one. Mrs. Li nodded, but said harshly: "It's been these days, but Erlang's condition has not improved again and again, how did you take care of it? These days, Erlang's pulse case was brought out and asked me to take a look together. If it is not cured, you will no longer be needed."

After saying that, Mrs. Li watched the person on the couch frown more and more, and the next moment, he rushed out of his sleeves, followed by the trembling imperial doctor to the outhouse.

Suddenly, apart from Yang Yan lying on the bed, there were only three master and servant Li Sui in front of the couch, as well as the valley serving by the couch.

In the silence, Li Sui looked at the quiet figure on the couch, and finally took a step. When she stopped at the place where she was one step away from the couch, she could see more clearly at this moment that although Yang Yan was in a dream, His brows were still slightly wrinkled, as if he hadn't slept well.

Looking at Yang Yan in front of her, Li Sui felt that the memories of her past life gradually overlapped, making her unable to distinguish between the past life and the present.On the day when Jiuge was poisoned in her previous life, when she hurried to the Zhaoyang Hall of Jiuge, she also stood in front of the couch like this, but Yang Yan was lying there lifeless, no longer calling her Aman, nor Calling her the queen again will leave her with endless silence and bone-breaking cold.

No one knows how complicated Yang Yan was when she learned of her sudden death.As the queen, she had no time to be sad or bewildered, because she knew very well that the sudden death of the emperor would bring great turmoil to the royal family, the court, and the world, and no one would give her too much time at that moment.

Once she is powerless to deal with it, she and her son will fall into a turbulent and cruel struggle for the throne.

The past dynasties, the lessons from the past, are all warning her that she must not show a weak and helpless side to the world like a simple wife.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Empress Yang, who was Yang Yanfa's wife, not only did not shed a tear in the face of Yang Yan's death, but instead imprisoned Jiuge extremely quickly with thunder, and dealt with more than a hundred palace servants in Zhaoyang Palace. Suppressing all the news of the emperor's death, under the eyes of the coveted kings, they summoned all the confidants to forge a will, and pushed her as the eldest son to the throne with one hand.

It is precisely because of this that the evaluation of her in previous lives has always been mixed. Those who supported her praised her for being calm and self-controlled, acting decisively, and having the style of the Taizu (Yang Chongyuan); while those who opposed her naturally scolded her for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and her methods were vicious. Not a virtuous queen who assists the sage.

Now Li Sui thinks of this again, and can't help but sneer.

Having experienced life and death, she now understands that it is precisely because people in the world take those false names too seriously, that they are mediocre and that life is full of burdens.

For example, in her previous life, she was conscientious and vigilant, but in exchange, she only jumped the city wall. Those who respected her naturally wrote for her, and those who hated her only scolded her for being too hard to describe.

But so what?Turned into dead bones, dust to dust, dust to dust, what is the use of that false name?
In this world, even a teacher like the sage Confucius is still criticized, and who can be admired by all the people in the world.

In the previous life, she had been tired all her life for her false name, but now she has seen through a truth, whoever loves me, I always love, and who hates me, why should I care.

"Aman, Aman—"

The sudden familiar call made Li Sui follow the sound, but Yang Yan frowned nervously on the couch, shaking his head uneasily as if something extremely bad had happened. Half a step forward, when the valley on the side rushed to the couch in panic, he saw Yang Yan suddenly open his eyes and seemed to be extremely frightened: "Aman!"

In the silence, Li Sui fixedly looked at the person in front of him, and saw that Yang Yan closed his eyes dazedly again, and spit out a sentence.

"Man, I'm late."

Seeing this sudden scene, Li Sui was a little stunned, and the hand under his sleeve was gently clenched, but it seemed to be disturbed by someone, and it felt as if countless glass beads had been thrown from a drum, making a lot of noise. His voice trembled in his ears.

"Your Majesty, you know that Erlang knew that his wife was going to Yuqingguan to join the two of you that day, and he didn't rest for a day, and he didn't eat a single meal. "

At this moment, Xi Gu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up, but what he said was to teach Li Sui to be completely still.

"Erlang learned the result from his wife, so he walked all the way to the outside of your courtyard in despair. He stood there for a long time in the heavy rain. No matter who persuaded him, he never listened.

Speaking of this, Xi Gu couldn't help crying with sadness, and there was a hint of resentment in his words.

"Master, why did you never know Erlang's heart for you?"

Just a short number, but it was like a splash of cold water carrying ice on Li Sui's body, making her ears buzzing a bit.

Looking at Xigu's resentful eyes, Li Sui's palms were numb and cold. She never thought, how could Yang Yan have feelings for her?
Whether in the past or the present, Li Sui never felt that Yang Yan treated her differently. Yang Yan was indeed gentle towards her, but was it not the case for Hongying, Baoying, even the county owner of Rongan, and others?
For a long time, Li Sui only thought that Yang Yan was just by nature.

Even if she treats her differently, it is only because the two have grown up since childhood.

But she was in Jiuge in her previous life, but she saw with her own eyes that Yang Yan spoiled her to the core, ignoring her and courtiers' persuasion, she was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, but she was promoted to a noble concubine after half a year. Afraid of the heat, Yang Yan used his private treasury to build a summer palace for her, and because she was cold, he built a winter palace for her.Jiuge likes lotus flowers. Yang Yan planted lotus flowers in the imperial palace and even the whole city of Chang'an. Every year on the night of Qixi Festival, he would take her on a boat tour of the lake and whisper in the middle of the night.Almost all the rare treasures presented by the envoys of various countries, Yang Yan will send them to Jiuge and make her smile.

Later, Yang Yan actually decided to give him the title "Chen", and even more intentionally that if he could give birth to a prince in the future, he would directly title him King Ding.

As far as Li Sui is concerned, she can endure if she ignores the persuasion of her and the courtiers, and she can bear with three thousand pets. The supreme title of "Chen" alone, and the meaning of "Ding Wang and Dingguo", have touched her bottom line. These are all openly telling her that the status of her and her son is already in jeopardy.

Because of this, she turned a deaf ear to Yang Yan's romantic actions and became angry for the first time. At that time, she no longer forbearance, and openly suggested that the courtiers who supported her jointly wrote a letter to refute Yang Yan's absurd actions, and Yang Yan was also completely rejected. Infuriated, he went to Lizheng Hall to openly quarrel with her, and it was that dispute that made Yang Yanlei furious. He fluttered his sleeves to Zhaoyang Palace, but was poisoned by Jiuge and died suddenly.

With such a Yang Yan, how could she dare to think?

How dare you think that Yang Yan actually has her in her heart.

All this happened so unexpectedly that it even made Li Sui feel a little absurd.

Nian Nu and Yu Nu behind them all looked at Li Sui uncomfortably, only to see her staring blankly in front of the couch, her eyes no longer calm.

At this moment, Li's voice gradually sounded outside. Li Sui almost simultaneously restrained her complicated mood, forced herself to calm down, and stepped aside.

Mr. Li passed by Li Sui's side, walked to Yang Yan's couch and sat down quietly. He didn't seem to notice the difference. After a lot of silence, Li Sui finally heard Mrs. Li's low and tired voice.

"Man, if Erlang can't wake up again, what should I do?"

Hearing Mrs. Li's desolate words for the first time, Li Sui couldn't help raising her head. At this moment, she suddenly realized that under the gentle light, Mrs. Li was full of vicissitudes. Seeing that Mrs. Li had been running around and tired all these days, crying secretly in a place where no one was there, it seemed that she had aged a lot overnight.Even on the temples, the original black hair actually gave birth to some silver threads at some point, which made people feel sad.

"Erlang is kind to people, and God will keep him safe and smooth. These days, with the care of the imperial doctor and you, and Baoying praying devoutly every day, maybe tomorrow Erlang will recover as before. Aunt, you are just too tired these days, don't ask I'm too worried, if you hurt your body again, Erlang will feel guilty even if he recovers."

Hearing Li Sui's heart-warming words of comfort, Mrs. Li nodded slowly: "You're right, I made a blunder."

Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Mrs. Li looked at Yang Yan and sighed: "Baoying, he is a good boy."

When Li Sui and Mrs. Li left Langao Courtyard, they didn't stand there silently until they saw Mrs. Li leaving accompanied by Yinniang and others.

Under the bleak moonlight, Li Sui once again thought of Yang Yan's hurried calling, and once again thought of Xigu's condemnation.

But she seemed to be thrown into a deep pool, and even her feet became heavier and heavier.

What she has seen in this life seems to be more and more different.
