After rebirth, White Lotus forced her husband to be a good man

Chapter 19: One thought of becoming a demon, the Buddha’s heart is quenched
With the sound of firecrackers, New Year's Eve arrives.

Zhengyang Street is ablaze with red lanterns lit with candles, hung all over every house.The streets on both sides were filled with all kinds of fried melon seeds, chestnuts, peanuts and various dry goods. The whole Yu Dynasty was full of joy, no matter how the past year went, what grievances they suffered, and what hurts they suffered. Pain... People are welcoming the upcoming 14th year of Jinghe with smiles.

In the entrance corridor of Qin's residence, red lanterns embroidered with gold threads were hung every six steps, reflecting the warmth on the flower windows, which was warm and tender.The flower window is covered with red hollow window grilles. If you look carefully, there are different shapes and designs, including a fat baby holding a fish, and a unicorn delivering a child.

Along the corridor, the domestic slaves spread red carpets on the floor tiles, and there was joy everywhere.

The weather is still very cold, and fine snowflakes are floating in the clear blue sky. The snowflakes fall on the red eaves far and near, decorating the pavilions far and near as if they are beautiful people staying together for a long time, which makes people feel intoxicated.

There are many children in the courtyard of the house.

The girls wore cute butterfly buns, and the boys tied their hair high. They were all wearing lotus pink and navy blue embroidered silver satin jackets. They were chasing and playing in the yard with small windmills in their hands. There were bursts of laughter.

It was really lively.

Ye Niansi stood alone in the empty room, his black eyes looking coldly outside, his face expressionless, bursts of cold air passed over his delicate eyebrows and high bridge of nose, and the look in his eyes was deep. Bottomless, elusive, and indifferent, it is difficult to conceal the bits and pieces of melancholy.

Today is New Year's Eve in the world.

It is also the death anniversary of his mother Hou Lanji, uncle Lan Xian, grandfather Lan Taijing and 140 members of the Lan family clan.

When he was in the palace, his whole impression of this day was that the regular servants in charge of the food in the cold palace would go out to drink and play cards. He would not get any food for nearly ten days and could only rely on the wasteland in the yard. They scraped by with whatever they could dig out.

Now I finally experienced the New Year's Eve of ordinary people. It turned out to be lively and happy, and everyone was happy and did not care about the past.They are looking forward to the good fortune in the coming year, wearing brand new clothes, yearning for a better life, and longing for the prosperity of their families.

He is the only one who is incompatible with this place.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Ye Niansi withdrew his black eyes, turned around and saw Qin Yuwang coming in coldly, holding an orange-red dress in his hand. "Your Highness, come and take a look at this dress. Do you like it?"

Qin Yuwang shook off the rather brightly colored clothes. It was the coat of a complete set of clothes. It was embroidered with gold threads and had dragons and phoenixes in auspicious patterns. She poked her head out from the side of the clothes, and a flash of expectation flashed in her almond-shaped eyes. , "How is it? Do you like it?"

Ye Niansi looked up at her with a stern expression, "Thank you, Miss Second, I like it very much."

"Then let me put it on for you? Can you try it on?"

Qin Yuwang opened the dress and was about to put it on him when Ye Niansi raised his hand and gently held her wrist, with a cold voice and slightly lowered black eyes, "Second Miss, I want to go back to the cold palace tonight." After getting married, although the palace did not explicitly issue a pardon, his travels were no longer restricted.

Qin Yuwang was slightly startled, "Your Highness, won't you stay vigil at the house with me? There will be fireworks tonight. My eldest brother went to buy them and spent several thousand taels of silver. The view from the library is the best. There are many fireworks every year. People are here to see..."

"No need," Ye Niansi raised his black eyes.

"Then I'll go with you." Tan Yuwang retracted his hand, folded his clothes twice and put them to one side.

"I'll just go by myself. I forgot some things there and I need to get them back." After saying that, looking at Qin Yuwang's confused eyes, Ye Niansi stood up and wanted to walk out. After taking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly think of something. , turned around, lowered his head slightly, and found it difficult to open his mouth.

He still said, "Second Miss, can you lend me ten taels of silver?"

Qin Yuwang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, okay," she hurriedly touched her body, but she was short of money and rarely carried any money with her. She smiled awkwardly, "You, wait a moment. Let me take a moment."

She ran out quickly, waved to Liu Ye, and in a few words, she was about to get 15 taels, and stuffed it into his hand, "Your Highness, you can buy whatever you want. If it's not enough, go to some stores with bigger reputations. You can remember them." In the accounts of Wuhou Mansion, the accounts will be settled together at the end of the month."

Ye Niansi looked at the silver in his palm, tapped it, put down five taels, and looked at her with his dark eyes, "This is enough. Thank you, Miss Second."

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

Qin Yuwang saw from the window that his clothes were so thin. Every step he took, the thin clothes on his body could be rolled up by the wind. He wore the moon-green clothes when he came out of the cold palace. He washed them by himself every day. Change, but the cyan color has been washed away and almost faded, so that he looks like he is wearing a miserable white gown.

She looked at the orange-red dress on the fire bed, picked it up, and raised her hand to touch the lining and embroidery inside and outside, "Don't you think the little tyrant likes it? But the saddle on Lan Yin is also the same color. Yes? It looks like I have to make another one for him."

A gust of cold wind blew, stirring the broken hair on both sides of her face. She looked outside with almond-shaped eyes. The weather was cold, and his wound was just right, so he couldn't bear the cold. She resolutely took her clothes and ran out.

The streets were very lively. Ye Niansi was walking on the road, glancing left and right. When the vendors saw the visitors, they hurriedly greeted them, "Boss! Boss, look at the roasted chestnuts! The freshly cooked chestnuts are so fragrant!" "Young master, please firecrackers!" Don’t want? There are also cannon-throwing and small fireworks! The more you buy, the more discounts you’ll get!”

"Hey! Miss, look at this rouge. You are so good-looking. Applying this will definitely be the icing on the cake, and you will make your country beautiful!"

Qin Yuwang followed Ye Niansi and waved his hand to the proprietress next to him, indicating that he would not buy anything.She originally wanted to give the clothes to him. Even if he didn't like it, it would be better to keep out the cold than the thin clothes she was wearing.

But she noticed that he didn't go back to the palace directly, but was walking to the market. He didn't seem to be interested in the New Year's goods on both sides, so what did he want to buy?
Qin Yuwang followed him cautiously. Ye Niansi didn't seem to know where the things he wanted to buy were. At several intersections, he often felt confused and looked left and right. Qin Yuwang shook his head, "This little tyrant doesn't know how to ask questions." .”

Suddenly, not far away, he seemed to see what he was looking for. Qin Yuwang followed him, and when he saw clearly what kind of store it was, he was startled.

It's a funeral shop, and the sign at the door reads "Shroud, paper money, and incense."

Not long after, Ye Niansi walked out with a white package in his arms, and then walked towards the palace with his long legs.

Tan Yuwang's heartbeat suddenly increased. Today was New Year's Eve, a day of great joy in the palace. He bought so much paper money, why didn't he want to cause trouble in the palace?

"Little tyrant, little tyrant, please don't let your mind wander."

She hurriedly followed him and entered the palace. Just as she was about to continue walking with him, she bumped into two people at the corner in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me borrow it."

Qin Yuwang could only see Ye Niansi, who was about to disappear at the end of the palace wall, and didn't pay any attention to the person coming, "Second sister?"

Tan Xiaoxian was wearing Qingyun armor, looking at Sword Cloud Broken Star. His extremely firm facial lines and cold eyes suddenly showed up after seeing Tan Yuwang.

There was also an extraordinary chivalrous female general next to her, wearing a moon-colored war robe and a bright red cloak on her shoulders. When she saw her, her thick eyebrows and big eyes lit up with joy, and she hurriedly clasped her hands in her fists, "Second sister, see you, brother-in-law." Pass!"

Qin Yuwang took two steps forward in disbelief and raised his hand to touch Jiang Xinlan's arm. He was also very happy and surprised, "Third brother, sister-in-law, are you back from Nanguan?"

Tan Xiaoxian smiled, his voice was clear, he was obviously a young general in his fifteenth year, but his expression already showed the air of a battlefield general. The few light but deep scars on his neck reflected the mighty and extraordinary appearance of his armor, "Yes. Ah, Second Sister, we have been victorious in the battle of Nanguan this year, so the request that Xinlan and I submitted in September last year to return to Beijing was approved ten days ago."

Tan Yuwang has not seen his younger brother for many years. He has been on the battlefield to kill the enemy since he was nine years old. At the end of the year, he has various war sect priorities and has never been able to return to the capital to watch the New Year. "It's good to be back. Grandma can I miss you, go home and be with her. I guess grandma will be very happy, and she will scold dad again when she is happy, saying that he always doesn't tell her anything, not even telling her that you are back."

Tan Xiaoxian's eyes flashed slightly, "It's true that even dad doesn't know about our return this time." He hesitated to speak, and Jiang Xinlan's smile beside him faded a little.

They come back with other things to do.

Qin Yuwang glanced behind them, and Ye Niansi had disappeared. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she remembered that he said he was going to Leng Palace, and judging from the direction he was walking, it was indeed that place.

Qin Xiaoxian changed the topic, "By the way, Second Sister, the Emperor has given us many gifts and asked us to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose from them. Second Sister, why don't you come with us?" He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I also heard that Second Sister and the Night King His Highness is newly married, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared many treasures. We will not go back to Nanguan in the short term, and we also want to give His Highness a small gift when we meet for the first time."

Qin Yuwang thought for a while. If Ye Niansi had indeed gone to Leng Palace, there would be nothing to worry about for the time being. "Okay, then I'll go check with you."

After all, Tan Xiaoxian was her younger brother, and from now on he would see her at home without looking up. He could think of this, and Tan Yuwang felt inexplicably happy.After all, her third brother is not so polite to everyone.

When she was with Prince Xiao in the past, Tan Xiaoxian never gave him a good look.

After no one lived in the cold palace, the snow in the yard became thicker and thicker.Ye Niansi stepped into the yard with long legs, his black eyes looking at the desolate and ruined yard.

It had been more than a month since he left here, but as soon as he set foot on this place, the coldness around him, the bone-chilling chill radiating from the bottom of his heart, became more and more diffuse.

He was alone in the place now, and he closed all the doors.

He picked up some firewood from the stable and piled it in the yard. After lighting it, he looked at the fire with his dark eyes.

He held a large amount of paper money in his big palm, and threw it into the fire one by one. He looked at the lifeless paper money rolling, curling up, and finally turning into ashes in the fire. His expression was pure and clear. A chill flashed across his face, and the ends of his eyes suddenly turned red.

His face was expressionless, and he repeated the movements in his hands over and over again. It seemed that he had been brewing for a long time, and finally said calmly, "Mother, after a year, my son came to see you. I never knew how to set up a memorial tablet for my mother. I have been dull recently. I feel that most of the Lan family will return to heaven and earth with their souls after death, and their blood will turn into mountains and rivers. Even if there is no trace of their corpses, the wind, snow, rain, hail, mountains, forests, and vegetation will all be you or not you."

Due to the severe cold weather, there was a slight cold mist around his mouth when he spoke. His hoarse voice showed the sadness in his heart, but his face was as calm as water. This expression was the same when he was barely relaxed, and it was the same when he was extremely sad.

"I am currently living in Wuhou Mansion, and my life is very good. But I have an idea, I don't know whether it is right or wrong. I always wanted to change something in the past. After ten years of planning, what I was waiting for was to be destroyed in one day, and everything in the world and every living thing would be destroyed. , imperial power, father, son, brother... they are all things I want to destroy."

"But I met someone. I was not happy with her in my heart. In fact, it only took a few sweet days to get to know her. Mother, I may not want to be like before anymore. As long as Lan's case can be vindicated , those who have done wrong will be punished, and I may not want to repay the various disasters of the past to all living things in the world."

"Is this right?" Ye Niansi had a complicated look in his eyes.He burned the paper money one by one and remained silent for a long time.

He looked into the brazier with his dark eyes. After one of the pieces of paper money was burned, a word seemed to appear on the face. He frowned slightly, reached in and pulled out the piece of paper money, put out the sparks on his knees, and held it open. At first glance, it was a blackened word "forgiveness".

The ends of Ye Niansi's eyes turned slightly red. He didn't know whether his mother really wanted him to forgive her, or whether it was just a coincidence, but his heart suddenly seemed not to be so heavy.After the third son of the Qin family comes back, the Lan family's unjust case will probably be re-tried.

And he, from now on, wants to live his life well and peacefully, read "Jingxin Lu", occasionally go shopping on the street, eat two bunches of red hawthorns, or barbecue meat, and occasionally buy a rabbit. For fun, maybe you can try cooking, making dumplings, or making some handicrafts, such as rabbit lanterns.Although these things are boring, they can still pass the time.Let's put an end to all the previous pain.He still hopes that one day in this life, he will be able to write something in the merit book and have someone to pray for.

Outside the red walls of the cold palace, there were some scattered footsteps.

Three princes in Jinyi walked by, followed by more than a dozen eunuchs and maids. Master Chen supported Min Shu and suppressed a smile as he walked, "Bago, don't tell me, Concubine Liang is really cruel in beating people. Look at Third Brother, That is to say, breaking the point will not delay Xiaoyao."

Min Shu gritted his teeth and moved step by step. Every time he moved, the wound on his buttocks hurt with pain in his back. He looked straight ahead, "How the hell do you still have the heart to laugh! That Tan Yu is really old and immortal. , tell my mother and concubine this matter, won’t you sincerely see me embarrassed?”

"And you!" He raised his hand and punched Zhuan Qiu on the head, "I told you that it was Ye Niansi's own choice. Why did you like to flirt with me when my mother-in-law asked you? Ignore you, what are you talking about?"

Zhuan Qiu's face was also covered with wounds. Liang Fei was a noble concubine, and she was now the assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace. Tan Yu reported this matter to Liang Fei without saying anything. As a result, they both received a beating. Chen Fu was the one who wanted to offend Liang Fei the most. Huanxin, Liangfei naturally felt that he was not the mastermind, so she let him go.

Zhuan Qiu chuckled, "Have you forgotten, my prince? You have told it so many times that it made my mind so confused, so I just forgot!" He scratched the back of his head.

Min Shu looked at him sideways, "Then how do you remember what you ate so clearly? When we were at Wuhou Mansion, you were still ordering food. What a stupid pig!"

Zhuan Qiu scratched the back of his head and smiled stupidly.

"Okay, Bage, if something happens, we can't blame it entirely on our own brothers," Chen Fu relieved him.

When passing by the Leng Palace, several palace maids stood outside the palace wall, their heads touching each other, whispering something.Several of the palace maids were slender and delicate in appearance. Min Shu couldn't help but stop and look around.

"Why are they running there? Isn't there no one living in the cold palace now?" Min Shu was confused.

Chen Fu smiled, raised his hand and patted Min Shu's waist gently, and said with a bad smile, "Brother Bage, are you thinking about that? You have a body like yours, you are not afraid of weakness!"

"Screw you, go ask which palace they are from!" Min Shu rolled his eyes at him, "If they are clean, find a few and send them to me. I'll be furious."

This is not a problem for Chen Fu.He stepped forward, thinking that they were talking about palace gossip, but who knew that they were not discussing the secrets of the concubines' boudoir.They were so happy discussing it with their backs to him that they didn't even see him.

What kind of character intrigues them so much?Chen Fu stepped forward.

"The one who just entered is His Highness the Night King. Did you see that? He looks like the most handsome man in the capital!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen him. He has been locked up in this palace, and it was those stinky eunuchs from the Fourth Academy who brought him food. He really gave them an advantage. If I had known that His Highness is so handsome, I went to beg the person in charge to transfer me to the Fourth Academy and bring him some delicious food every day!"

"It's so beautiful for you. Are you crazy about men? His Highness the Night King has already married the second young lady of Wuhou Mansion, but I don't know why he came to the cold palace today. He seems to be burning paper money there!"

"You don't know this, right? Last time I went to deliver moon cakes to the old lady in the Fourth Academy, but I heard something about His Highness. When his mother-in-law's family rebelled, the whole family was executed on New Year's Eve. of!"

Several palace maids covered their mouths in surprise, and their voices became even lower, "Oh my God, this is so heartless...not only to exterminate the entire clan, but also to let His Highness mourn alone when every family is happy..."

Master Chen understood what he was saying and cleared his throat twice. The maids were startled and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Slave, please see the Twelfth Prince."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at them one by one, raising his chin slightly, "If you don't do your job well every day, why are you talking behind your back? Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes!" The maids hurriedly lined up and walked away.

Min Shu limped up, a trace of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows, "Twelfth brother, why did you let them all go? Leave two for me!"

Chen Fu raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, a smirk flashed in his eyes, "Bago, there are more interesting things in this cold palace than that woman." He leaned close to Min Shu's ear and condensed what he just heard. Then I told him.

Min Shu was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger with fifty lashes, so it was good. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the fourteenth brother's worship is a big event for our brothers." He looked to the side. Zhuan Qiu, "Take off your clothes!"

Zhuan Qiu was wearing a bright red robe. There was no embroidery on the dress, but the cuffs were hemmed. This was the best dress his mother-in-law could make for him, and she spent a whole year's salary on it. example.

He was a little reluctant, "No, my mother and concubine made this for me."

Min Shu stepped forward and was about to hit him on the head, but Chen Fu stopped him. Chen Fu glanced at Zhuan Qiu and said, "Brother Three Emperors, I'm just borrowing it for a moment. I'll put on a good show for you later. What do you think?"

"A good show?" Zhuan Qiu opened his eyes wide and laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, my prince likes to watch plays the most!"

In the yard, the paper money was about to be burned, and Ye Niansi's legs were numb from kneeling. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard laughter outside, talking about watching a show.

That voice was familiar to him, and it reminded him of the three princes he had not seen for many years when they were on Mount Xuan.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned around, the door of Leng Palace was kicked open with a bang. The two mahogany doors hit the wall heavily, and the dragon-tailed eaves on the door were covered with falling snow.

Ye Niansi looked at the three people with dark eyes. As soon as they stood in front of him, two eunuchs walked out from behind, holding a bright red robe in their hands.

Ye Niansi saw that the red color was particularly eye-catching, and said in a cold voice, "What do you think you have to do with the three of you?"

Min Shu knew now that Ye Niansi couldn't be bullied openly, "Fourteenth brother, brother, I'm here to apologize to you. That day when I went to Langshan, I really didn't expect that you didn't Come down. It was only after we came down the mountain that we realized that your steps were a little slower. Are you an adult?" He said through gritted teeth.

Ye Niansi raised his black eyes slightly, expressionless, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first." He turned sideways to leave, but Chen Fu raised his hand and blocked his way.

He shook his head with disdain, looked at Ye Niansi from top to bottom frivolously, and said twice, "It's all our fault. We have really been absent from the childhood of the fourteenth brother these years. Look at this miserable situation now." , it’s Chinese New Year, and we don’t even have any festive clothes! How can this be okay! This is our responsibility as brothers!”

"Come here! Put that clothes on our fourteenth brother!" Master Chen waved his hand.

The two eunuchs came forward and held Ye Niansi down. He shook them off, and the red robe fell to the ground. His face was cold, and there was a trembling coolness in his black eyes. "I don't like it, thank you all."

After saying that, he was about to walk out quickly when Min Shu picked up a brick from the ground, raised his hand and threw it at him.There was a bang in his head, a sudden dizziness, accompanied by pain that almost shattered his skull. He knelt on one knee and supported the ground with one hand. The veins on his arms bulged, but he still couldn't support himself and fell to the ground.

Two young eunuchs came forward and put the red clothes on him. One eunuch brought over a bowl of braised pork. Min Shu sat in front of him. Chen Fu opened his mouth. The two of them looked at him. A pair of indifferent black eyes, smiling wildly.

Min Shu stared at him closely and said through gritted teeth, "Yeniansi, today is the death anniversary of your mother's clan, right?"

Ye Niansi frowned slightly, and doubts surged in his black eyes. After a moment, they disappeared. He finally understood why they treated him like this. Suddenly, the calmness that he had just a moment ago in his eyes was burned by a piece of paper money. Jiao's word "forgiveness" is used to try to forgive all the consequences that cannot be changed without killing... At this moment, it gradually becomes indifferent, cold, bloody, and cruel.

Min Shu didn't care so much. He fed the braised pork piece by piece into Ye Niansi's mouth. He struggled desperately and refused to swallow it, so Min Shu simply smashed it into his throat with chopsticks, over and over again. Force him until Ye Niansi eats the entire bowl of meat.

Chen Fu let go of him, and Ye Niansi fell to the ground without any strength, vomiting out a mouthful of blood.The cold wind was biting, and he kept retching, but the fishy smell lingered. He wanted to take off his clothes, but for some reason, he couldn't get up.

Turbulent hatred surged in his eyes, endless pain, endless torture. His big palms tightly grasped the thick layer of residual snow on the ground, and a tear fell from his eyes, mixed with turbid blood.

Min Shu smiled wildly, "Fourteenth brother, you are a coward, a damn wild dog, and a person who doesn't deserve to live at all! When that damn bitch Lan Ji was still alive, she wished she could suppress my mother-in-law. There is nowhere to survive, and the entire official family has been severely crushed by your Lan family."

"What a good death! What a wonderful death! Aren't you just a legitimate son? Even if you are the only legitimate son in this palace, what will happen? I used to be too lazy to pay attention to you, but it is different now. Every now and then, your emperor brother, I have to give you a good greeting. Let’s make up for the brotherly love lost over the years!”

"By the way, today is a happy day. The whole country is celebrating. As the son of a concubine and an adulterer, don't you have to be happy? Why are you crying? I can't bear your tears. Don’t let Marquis Qin Wu say that I made you cry and let my mother-in-law beat me again, I’m so scared!”

The three of them burst into laughter.

Chen Fu looked at the eunuch next to him who lowered his head and said nothing, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Don't you see His Highness the Night King laughing? Why don't you help me? Just pull your mouth!" After that, he raised his leg. With one kick, he knocked over the neatly piled pile of firewood and scattered the paper money in the bundle all over the sky.

The two young eunuchs reluctantly stepped forward, knelt beside Ye Niansi, raised their hands to tug at the corners of his mouth, and a coolness flashed in Ye Niansi's eyes.

Listening to their laughter, insults, and all kinds of torture...

Ye Niansi closed his eyes hard.

He knew he was wrong, terribly wrong.But he was also thankful that this pain made him wake up.

He opened his eyes and looked at the falling paper money with cold eyes. This was the only day of the year when he could worship his mother, even though he no longer remembered her appearance.

His big palms grasped the snow on the ground hard, and the two little eunuchs forced a smile on his face. He was wearing a bright red wedding robe, and his belly was filled with oily purple flesh. His pain seemed to have penetrated all over his body. , but the sudden ambition and planning made his whole body pain disappear.

His black eyes flashed with an evil force that had never been stronger than before, like a lone wolf on the snowy mountain, single-handedly trying to change the world of the weak and the strong, and using his life to bet on justice for him.

He wants everyone to end badly.

Let everyone experience the pain of family destruction, the torture of extreme humiliation, the heart-wrenching parting, the regret of killing a loved one with your own hands... In short, he wants everyone in this world to experience all the pain in this world. , experience it deeply.

From now on, he will step by step let this great Yu Dynasty never sleep peacefully again.
