Chapter 544
The next day, the gates of the capital were opened, and sixteen horses galloped away from the capital. There was a huge crowd of people inside and outside the city, and it was very lively.
On that day, the list of wealthy families who had been punished in the capital and their crimes were posted on the notice boards in the streets and alleys of the capital. Among them, the Su and Gu families had committed numerous crimes, and the most important thing was that many people who had been taken care of by the Cheng family back then were all filled with hatred and could only wait for the execution day to go to the market and smash rotten eggs and stones.
Cheng Xue rested at home since she left the palace. It was not until three days later that the eunuch came to deliver the edict. Li Huirong was elected as the Minister of Household Affairs, and she followed him and gave him the imperial edict of Zheng Erpin.
Logically speaking, Li Hui only had the official position, so she could not get the royal title. After all, neither of them had made the greatest contribution to the court. But it happened that this body came from the Cheng family. She wanted to be banned, so Yan Yunchen gave her a royal decree. Naturally, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel had no objection.
On the evening of the day when the order was received, seven members of Li Hui's family were invited to the palace for a banquet.
I thought I would be like on TV, eating without being hungry or full, but after entering the palace, I found that this was not the case at all.
The dishes are exquisite and plentiful, and the men's and women's tables are separated by a screen, so you can hear people talking clearly on both sides. At the women's table, there are only Mrs. Xiao Er and her two daughters, and then there is Pang Yao. Cheng Xue didn't see what was going on at the men's table, but she and her two daughters were very full.
After this meal, it was considered as acknowledgment. As for the cousins of the Xiao family, they were already familiar with each other, but now they are just getting closer, so there is nothing uncomfortable. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was Xiao Qinglin. For such an older cousin, she always felt that something was wrong.
A month later, everyone in Liangyan knew about the crimes committed by the Gu and Su families, but Yan Yunchen followed the regulations and did not mention a word about Cheng Xue's life experience.
After the men of the Su and Gu families were beheaded, Yan Yunchen issued an imperial edict to establish the crown prince and abdicated half a year later, allowing Yan Jing to take the throne.
On the night after the Zen ceremony, he appeared at Wangyue Tower and participated in the engagement ceremony between Li Heng and Pang Yao.
This was what he proposed, and he also said that he wanted to make up for the regrets he and Cheng Shuang had in the past.
"...If nothing had happened that year, my engagement with Shuang'er would have been like this. Several people who got along well got together to have a meal and chat."
Until this moment, Li Hui finally felt a little sorry for Yan Yunchen.
It is really not easy for a person who can only rely on memories to live his life.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wine glass and said:
"I would like to propose a toast to my brother-in-law. When he goes out in style in the future, remember to deliver some local specialties to us."
"Okay." Yan Yunchen picked up the wine glass, touched it to him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he looked at Li Heng and said:
"Grand nephew, treat Pang Yao well, it's not easy for this girl."
Today is her engagement. Both parents should be present, but her mother is a stepmother and is ignorant. Her father is far away in Jiangnan, and only Mr. Pang is in charge of the overall situation.
Cheng Xue listened to Li Heng's assurance through the screen, feeling vaguely worried about Yan Yunchen.
A person who has been adhering to one thing all his life, now that it is completed, how will he live the rest of his life? Although she is not a psychologist, she has dabbled in it to some extent, and it seems she must find an opportunity to chat with him.
It's a pity that before she could find a chance to chat, they left the capital that night.
"How long will brother-in-law be out for?" Cheng Xue asked anxiously.
Yan Yunchen looked at her with a smile and answered:
"I'm not going far, so I'll stay at your eldest sister's villa. You two should do well in Beijing. From now on, the court will need your brother-in-law to help Jing'er."
"Brother-in-law, you're welcome. This is what a minister should do." Li Hui quickly bowed his hands in salute.
Yan Jing promised him that as long as he sat here for three years, he would be transferred to the Ministry of War. Nowadays, although the status of Liangyan's soldiers remains the same, their daily needs have been comprehensively improved. Everyone watched Yan Yunchen leave on horseback. Cheng Xue looked at the back and said:
"I'll talk to my brother-in-law in a few days. His state... I'm a little worried."
Not to mention she saw it, everyone else saw it too.
Yan Mu originally wanted to follow him in a playful manner, but due to his father's majesty, he could only wait in Beijing.
Just when everyone was pinning their hopes on Cheng Xue, they didn't expect Yan Yunchen to kill himself in the villa designed by Cheng Shuang himself.
And it was the same night we were leaving the city.
This news really caught everyone off guard. Cheng Xue regretted it and secretly blamed herself for not waiting a few more days. You should follow him or talk to him on the same day.
During the national mourning, all courtiers and wives had to enter the palace. Cheng Xue had no memory of how she went to the palace to mourn. When she woke up from her confusion, there was only the sound of "beep...beep...beep..." in her ears.
She was so familiar with this voice. Every patient she rescued would use this word. The smell of disinfectant that entered her nose made her heart beat faster. She tried to open her eyes, but to no avail. It wasn't until the sound of pushing the door that she opened her eyes, only to see a Yan Yan wearing a white coat. Yun Chen.
Cheng Xue wanted to frown, but the stinging pain on her forehead made her give up the idea.
"Are you awake? Just move wherever I press you, and I'll see how your body's functions are recovering. Blink your eyes when you understand."
Cheng Xue blinked twice in pain, and then did as he said. After she could move her legs and arms, she tried to speak, but she couldn't use any strength at all.
"Don't worry, you are lucky to have saved your life. You are still recovering, so don't move."
Cheng Xue was sure that she was back, but she didn't know how she came back. Aren't you crying? If she leaves suddenly, what will happen to Li Hui and what will happen to the four children? Li Yue got married, Li Heng got married, Li Tian and Li Huai...
"Well--"
Exertion of her brain caused pain, causing her to let out a soft sigh.
"Don't worry, the officer who rescued you is out of danger and will wake up soon."
Just as the door opened, the little nurse stood at the door and said——
"Yan Chen, Officer Li is awake. Go and have a look."
When Cheng Xue heard the words "Officer Li is awake", she breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether that other world was her imagination or a real existence, she was happy that he was alive, even if he wouldn't remember her.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sad for no reason. I quickly closed my eyes to relieve myself, but tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
Falling into coma again, she dreamed of the white lanterns hung at the door of the house. Two lanterns were hung by Suijing Paper Industry. It was obvious that Cheng Xue and Li Hui in this world were also gone. It was unclear what happened specifically, she only knew that she had no connection with that world at all.
Everything seemed to be a dream, but she was caught off guard when she woke up from the dream.
It was three days later when she opened her eyes again. She had been transferred to the general ward, looked around, and finally made eye contact with the person on the bed next to her, and then——
"Are you awake? Let's get the certificate after we're discharged from the hospital."
With a simple sentence, Cheng Xue shed tears again...
The ending is a bit hasty, but there really is no other way but to do my best and hope to see you again
