Chapter 282 Extra Story ([-]) When Will We See You?

This episode takes over the ending of the first edition

---

It was rare for Lin Zhizhong and his wife to travel north from Yuhang to Jinling. Shen Jiangdong and his wife hosted a banquet at the Shen family's residence in Jinling.

Since moving to Jinling, Shen Jiangdong and Jiang Feng have found a house near the government office to live in.The mansion of Emperor Jiaguo in the imperial capital occupies a vast area, but the two of them live in space, so it is just right for the couple to live in Sanjin Xiaoyuan.

The gardens in Jinling are more exquisite than those in the Imperial Capital, but the climate is humid. After a rainy season, Jiang Feng slowly got used to it.This time, Lin Zhizhong's wife came from Yuhang with a lot of warm-scented incense pills, and was playing with Jiang Feng's incense sticks.Through the continuous autumn rain, Shen Jiangdong was talking to Lin Zhizhong in the front hall.When lunch was served, Jiang Feng mentioned that it was also such a rainy autumn weather. She and Shen Jiangdong met Lin Zhizhong in Yuhang Lake, and a few years passed in a flash.

During the meal, Shen Jiangdong and his wife were a little absent-minded. When Lin Zhizhong mentioned that he had a grandchild, Shen Jiangdong and his wife cheered up to congratulate him.It turns out that there have been frequent changes in the imperial capital recently. Since Jiang Feng withdrew from the Jingwei, the couple's eyes and ears in the imperial capital are not very smart.However, Yuan Lingbo, the current Jiangnan Secretary stationed in Jinling, as a member of the Jingwei, has always been on good terms with Jiang Feng, and he still brought a lot of news to the couple.The two have lived in the capital for a long time and are very sensitive to such changes.Xiao Yi remained silent, Si Qing's letter was not delivered to Shen's residence in Jinling on time every month, and Jiang Feng was always worried about this matter.

The maid served the sweet soup, and Jiang Feng accidentally knocked over the soup with a flick of his sleeve. Before everyone cleaned up, a porter suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Master, madam! Something has happened! Say yes... say the empress is dead!"

Everyone was horrified, Shen Jiangdong couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Lingbo rushed in without waiting for Tongchuan to ask: "What's going on?!"

Yuan Lingbo was originally a queen's maid, and his face was pale at the moment, Shen Jiangdong couldn't help but said: "You asked us, but we don't know any news!"

Yuan Lingbo stomped his feet and said, "I don't know either. I just want to know that something happened to Xiyuan. I've never heard anything bad about our girl..."

Jiang Feng said nothing, turned his head back to the inner room, packed his belongings and went out in a moment, Shen Jiangdong asked: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Feng said: "You all have official positions, but I don't have one now, so I walked away. I'll go back to Beijing first, and wait for my news." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Shen Jiangdong didn't stop him, and said loudly: "Be careful on the road!"

As soon as Jiang Feng left, many officials from Jinling came to Shen Jiangdong to inquire about the news.Shen Jiangdong and Yuan Lingbo couldn't care less about entertaining Lin Zhizhong and his wife. After half a day of dealing with it, Shen Jiangdong returned to the small flower hall and said to Lin Zhizhong and his wife who were sitting in a daze: "I'll take the booklet and settle the affairs here in Jinling. Return to Beijing immediately. Why don't you go back to Yuhang, just stay here and wait for news from us."

Mrs. Lin said: "Sister Gu's family has always been free from illness and disaster, and she is also a medical practitioner. How is this possible?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "The strangest thing is that there is no warning, no news."

Shen Jiangdong still felt something was wrong, at this time the concierge embraced a sleeping doll and said: "A black shadow flashed, someone put this doll at the front of our gate, so cruel."

Lin Zhizhong saw a letter in the swaddle, opened it and read, "My foolish brother is going to Beijing, entrusting his daughter to you."

Lin Zhizhong and Shen Jiangdong said in unison: "Liang Fen!"

Mrs. Lin took the child and hugged her. They all knew that Mrs. Gu Heng died of a sudden illness. The verdict was reversed, and it was the Princess Xianju, the daughter of King Jing who returned to Beijing.

Shen Jiangdong said to Yuan Lingbo: "Hurry up and give Gu Liang back to me, what can't he do?!"

Amidst the chaos, a scribe braved the rain to come forward and said, "Duke Jia, the cabinet sent a message that the empress has passed away, and all the borders have come to Beijing to pay their respects. You..."

Fearing that Gu Heng would lose his composure, Shen Jiangdong first urged Yuan Lingbo to chase after Gu Heng, and then said: "Finish the recent documents, and I will leave after the meeting tomorrow."

Lin Zhizhong and his wife stayed in Shen's house in Jinling to take care of Gu Heng's daughter. Shen Jiangdong left Jinling in a hurry to go north the next day, but before going north, he got the news of Concubine Zhou's conspiracy, and was at a loss for a while.The imperial concubine Zhou was related to the death of Empress Rencheng. Now that the imperial capital has summoned the empress to disappear, and the imperial concubine Zhou conspired against her again, he felt confused about what happened in the capital.

The imperial capital city was shrouded in white. With the empress' honor and favor, everyone thought that there would be an extraordinary move today, but no one thought that after a serious illness today, he would be absent-minded about the empress' funeral ceremony.

Some people lamented that the king's kindness is like water, some people privately commented that the concubine Zhou's treason is unreasonable, and it is unreasonable to use the concubine's ceremony to manage the funeral. Weeping until she fainted, Jiang Feng had been taking care of her since returning to Beijing earlier.

After complicated etiquette, Empress Zi Palace will leave the city this day, and will temporarily stop at the funeral palace near Lingyong Mausoleum.The mighty team stepped into the official road in the west of Beijing, and no one noticed the thin figure on the nearby hilltop.The figure watched the long dragon disappear on the official road, turned around and left resolutely.

Ri Mu and his party temporarily stayed in the monastery near the official road. After walking for a day, they were extremely tired.Today I saw Zi Gong temporarily entered the temple, and said to everyone: "Go down first, I want to be quiet."

The attendants all retreated, and only the candles on the divine table were flickering in the darkness.Suddenly, a sword approached Xiao Yi's neck. Xiao Yi blocked it with a backhand and was about to shout, but when he saw the opponent's face, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped all his movements and put on a look of being slaughtered, "Yes! you."

Gu Heng roared: "How did my sister die?!"

Xiao Yi didn't speak.

Gu Heng said: "Isn't Mo Wei's death not enough?! If you don't overturn the case for the Jingguo government, did Mo Wei ever have a complaint? Now even Siqing won't let it go... Mo Wei has long suspected the death of Empress Rencheng , Did you kill Empress Rencheng? You killed your own queen, and you want to kill the second one?!"

Xiao Yi lacked energy and said tiredly: "Then you kill me." He suddenly held Gu Heng's sword with his backhand and leaned against his neck, "Come on, kill me..."

At this time, Sun Chengfu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty?"

No one answered, and then Sun Chengfu and Shen Jiangdong rushed in almost at the same time. Seeing this situation, Shen Jiangdong said in surprise: "Liang Fen! Let go!!"

Who knew that Xiao Yi held the sword in his backhand and shouted: "Do it—"

Seeing that Xiao Yi's expression was wrong, Gu Heng let go first, Sun Chengfu drew out his sword, Shen Jiangdong hurriedly stood between Gu Heng and Xiao Yi, and said to Gu Heng: "Liang Fen! Are you crazy!"

Gu Heng pointed at Xiao Yi and said, "An explanation."

Shen Jiangdong snatched Gu Heng's sword from Xiao Yi's hand and handed it to Sun Chengfu. Sun Chengfu was about to retreat first, but Gu Heng rushed up and asked, "How did my sister die? Talk!"

Shen Jiangdong was afraid of attracting outsiders again, and said in a low voice: "Liang Fen! Don't be impulsive!"

Gu Heng grabbed Xiao Yi's collar, Xiao Yi let him grab it, like a puppet not breathing, the scene was extremely weird.Shen Jiangdong couldn't pull it apart, Sun Chengfu was at a loss, and Xiao Yi didn't respond.

Shen Jiangdong finally had nothing to do, and whispered to Gu Heng: "Your Highness is still alive!"

Gu Heng seemed to be shocked, he couldn't believe it, he took the sword and went to pry the Empress' Zi Palace.Sun Chengfu turned pale with shock, and wanted to stop him, but his skills were far inferior to Gu Heng's, so he was restrained by Gu Heng's move.

Xiao Yi still didn't respond.

Shen Jiangdong signaled Sun Chengfu to go out, and told the surrounding people to back away. Sun Chengfu looked at Xiao Yi, who nodded blankly.Sun Chengfu hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and snatched away Gu Heng's sword, bowed and retreated.

Gu Heng didn't care about being robbed of the sword, and still used other things to pry open the Zi Palace. There were only various curios, some books, and not even a queen's costume.

Gu Heng looked at Xiao Yi in a daze, and Shen Jiangdong whispered again: "His Royal Highness has not passed away."

Gu Heng said: "What? Why?"

Xiao Yi finally said, "She's gone." Then he stepped forward and closed Zi Gong with both hands.

Before Gu Heng could react, Shen Jiangdong shook his head at him, signaling him not to ask any more questions.Xiao Yi rearranged his clothes and regained his indifference and calmness.

Gu Heng looked at Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi didn't look at him, Gu Heng said: "I guessed right, there is no ending for Siqing in the imperial capital." After speaking, he said, "I left, or you killed me."

Shen Jiangdong looked at Xiao Yi nervously, and Xiao Yi smiled slightly. Many, many years ago, he was most afraid of being alone at the top.Now that she is gone, only he is left, and he seems to be used to this kind of loneliness, "You go."

Gu Heng turned around and left, Xiao Yi said: "Suppose incense sticks to Sixth Sister for me."

Gu Heng said: "No need, she has nothing to do with the Xiao family."

Xiao Yi said again: "If you see Si Qing one day, please tell her, I will always wait for her to come back."

Gu Heng asked again: "A queen who died and came back to life?"

Xiao Yi said: "The empress is just a vain position, but she will always be my wife."

Gu Heng finally turned around, Xiao Yi said: "Remember what I said today."

With a flicker of candlelight, Gu Heng's figure disappeared.

Xiao Yi sat down slowly with his back against Zigong, Shen Jiangdong stepped forward to help, Xiao Yi showed endless pain, "Why is she so cruel, why is she so cruel?"

Shen Jiangdong said softly: "Third Highness."

Xiao Yi asked again: "Did I do something wrong?"

At this time Sun Chengfu came in and said, "Your Majesty, just now a palace official came to report that Princess Taikang was overwhelmed with grief and passed out again."

Xiao Yi stood up suddenly and strode out.

Shen Jiangdong and Sun Chengfu watched Xiao Yi leave, looked at the empty room, and looked at each other speechlessly.

Shen Jiangdong finally asked, "Who else knows?"

Sun Chengfu said softly: "After the accident, it was Du Sizhong and Du Hanchang who were the first to find the letter left by the empress in Gu's house in the south of the city."

Shen Jiangdong sighed, "That's all. The city will be closed that night, why can't you find Her Royal Highness the Queen?"

Sun Chengfu whispered: "I was not in Beijing at the time, and I didn't know. I only know that Zhou Guifei conspired against Tang Peng, surrounded Xiyuan with soldiers, and set fire to Qiongyu in Taiye Pond. The empress was in Qiongyu that night, and the fire started. Later, someone saw that the empress seemed to fall from Qiongyu. But with the skill of the queen empress, there was no problem in jumping from Qiongyu. Believe me, Your Majesty thought that Your Majesty had gone to Tantai and rushed out of the city, the city gate was opened, and Your Majesty might have taken the opportunity to leave the Imperial Capital City."

Shen Jiangdong said: "The government army and guards were formed by the empress alone. It is too easy for the empress to avoid the pursuit of the Jingwei. Concubine Zhou really wants to rebel... I find it incredible."

Sun Chengfu said: "The matter of Mrs. Zhou... is always unclear."

Shen Jiangdong said: "It's not a secret that she was born in the old Prince Jing's mansion, but I didn't expect to be so deeply tied to the Prince Jing's mansion. And Yang Wanquan, I really didn't see that he is also from the old man of King Jing. Since the 17th year of Xining, Yang Wanquan asked my wife From the beginning of the investigation of the Fuzhou case, the other party is playing a big game of chess."

Sun Chengfu said: "I didn't expect that something happened not long after I left Beijing, Tang Peng..."

"Don't mention it anymore," Shen Jiangdong said with his head down, "Tang Peng...cause and effect have already been determined."

Sun Chengfu said: "Yuan Xigong, you should come back to Beijing."

Shen Jiangdong smiled, "I'm also afraid of death, so tell Du Sizhong that it's best to keep your mouth shut when you sleep, and don't let sleep talk get into trouble."

Sun Chengfu nodded.

Shen Jiangdong said: "Some things are over, and some things have to start again. Everything will be different from the past. You, the general of Jingwei, will only get more and more difficult. I, the Jinling garrison, don't know what the future will be. Everyone is difficult. Let's face it."

---

When I was young, walking to and from school, I felt that I was very close to nature, with the fragrance of flowers, grass and birds singing by my side. I could use my body to perceive the changes of the four seasons.At that time, I didn't know what "heart flow" was. I only knew that I could easily feel happiness.

Later, this ability to perceive happiness has gone away. Although I am not depressed, although I still have strong material desires and hope for the future, it seems that there is a gap between me and the world, and I become more and more slow to changes in the natural environment. Not willing to go out, very similar to the state of "depersonalization" mentioned on the Internet.

I don't know why I became like this, maybe because I was too anxious and my mental space was seriously insufficient. One day it was full and couldn't bear my emotions.

Under such circumstances, I wrote this story with a lot of clues.Everyone's life in the story is a mess, and everyone is linked together by countless contradictions and conflicts.Everyone has their own desires, and everyone wants to be in control of their own life.

In the second half of the writing, sitting on the bus one day, I suddenly felt that the barrier between myself and the outside world was broken, and I regained my flow of heart.When I read this story again, I always feel aggrieved.Ye Siqing and Jiang Xuanbin are obviously the lucky ones. They stand at the top of the food chain in the feudal society.But the pit has already been dug, so I have to fill the pit according to the previous story line.This is the main reason why this story gets stuck later.

The only thought about this story that has not changed since it was conceived is that all of Siqing's income depends on Xiao Yi's imperial power, and all her glory hangs on Xiao Yi, so it is easy to gain and easy to lose.It's beautiful when it's good, and it's cruel when it's lost.She was blinded by the beautiful scene when she stood on the high point, and she didn't realize enough about her own danger, which led her to a dilemma at the end.
