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

The prison is dark and the walls are cracked.Rats crawled in the darkness, and the air was filled with the stench of corpses.

There was a man tied to the torture rack, his head lowered, blood dripping from his blurred face onto the ground, and his intermittent breathing was particularly loud in the dark corridor.

"I... want to see the prince. I have something to tell him..." Lin Shu reluctantly opened his chapped lips.

The jailer outside the door ignored him and glanced at him. The torture room was dark without light. If it weren't for the smell of blood, it would be difficult to tell whether there was a living person inside. "Steward Lin, your identity is different now. How many of my subordinates are there?" The order you received is torture to death. You have this opportunity to think about dressing up to make a comeback, so you might as well think about how you will die so that you can prepare in advance."

Several people laughed at each other, picked up a thick stack of lists from the table, and shook them off a few times.

Not far away, a timid jailer stared blankly at this side. He was holding a rice bucket and shaking his hands at the moment.Lin Shu had saved his life and helped him make a living from being a beggar. Just when he was delivering food, Lin Shu stuffed him with a note and a lot of pills.

Without much hesitation, he quickly walked out along the dark and narrow corridor, and took advantage of the shift change to disappear into the prison.

The six doors were wide open, and a tall man came in with the light on his back. His broad arms set off his powerful momentum. When the figure in purple python robe appeared in front of the door, several guards knelt down one after another, "See the prince." .”

A person with quick eyes handed over the roster, "Your Majesty, those Phantom Powders are very useful, but they are all gone, 430 six. But, the person you mentioned is not there."

Xiao Zhen glanced at the guard with cold eyes and said, "Get rid of it. Make it clean."

When Lin Shu heard their conversation, his eyes were cloudy, mixed with blood and tears, and filled his eyes.He closed his eyes for a moment, and the dizziness in his head was a little better, but the phantom that forced people to tell the truth still remained, and he could feel it.

He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling on the torture rack, and he raised his eyes to look at the man who walked in.

Two guards placed a large chair in the room. One of them stepped on the table next to the torture instruments and opened the high window block, and then everyone quietly exited through the six doors.

Xiao Zhen lifted his robe with one hand and sat down on the chair. He raised his hand and held the blood jade bracelet. He stared at the pool of turbid blood on the ground in front of him with his eyes. He twisted his neck strangely and said, "I still don't understand one thing." .You actually have many opportunities to kill me, why don’t you do that?”

Lin Shu sneered, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for me, how could you have brought down the Lan family? I am useful to you, and you are the same to me."

"The Lan family is your threat, and it is also mine. You must have suspected my identity very early, so you would never put important antidote in my hands. Even this Phantom Powder, I followed you for 20 Years are also unheard of.”

"You also have plenty of opportunities to kill me, so why not."

Xiao Zhen's eyes were cold, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Shu. The old and frail man in front of him had only a skeleton left on his body. He was skinny but bruised by whips. He threatened, "I didn't let you play with these words with me. game."

He took a breath and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Where is the palace maid named Qiuyan ten years ago? Where is she now? Tell me and I will spare your life."

Lin Shu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Everyone related to the Lan family case has died long ago. If the prince asks this, he will be in hell."

"No, she's not dead. My people found her weapons in the city. I heard that her codename was Zhusha. Who was it that saved her life for you?" Xiao Zhen's eyes narrowed.

Lin Shu's eyes were stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of sourness on the corners of his lips, "It turns out that the prince kept me for so long because he was looking for her."

Xiao Zhen raised his hand to hold the short blade on the table, stood up and slowly walked towards Lin Shu. When he stood in front of him, he looked down at Lin Shu's rickety waist and injuries all over his body, and said harshly, "Lin Shu , you have been with me for 20 years, betrayed me, plotted against me, how many things you have done behind my back, and how many things you want to do, I can ignore it now. Qiuyan is the only insider who participated in the whole process, even though the Lan family has It’s an ironclad case, but if she doesn’t die, the world of this prince’s child will not be clean for a day. If something is wronged in the future, it will be recorded in the historian’s book and will be stink for thousands of years.”

"You know that I only have one son, Yan'er, who is pure and upright. I am playing games in the mud just to give him a clean mountain and river. You are the person who knows my heart best. Tell me where she is. I let you live."

The short blade was pressed against the side of Lin Shu's waist and abdomen, shining coldly.

Lin Shu raised his eyes, smiled, leaned into Xiao Yan's ear, and said slowly——

"You'll never know."

After saying this, he bit down his tongue, and blood flowed from the corners of his lips. There was deep regret and painful relief in his eyes, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Xiao Zhen frowned for a moment, and quickly stretched out two fingers to press acupuncture points on the middle of Lin Shu's collarbone, the side of his neck and under his ribs. Lin Shu only breathed out. He glanced at Xiao Zhen for the last time and said with difficulty and vagueness, "Your Highness. , don’t stop Ye Niansi from becoming emperor, otherwise you will regret your life..."

After saying that, his head hung heavily like a puppet with its strings cut off.

In the silent prison, even the weak and intermittent breathing a moment ago was lost. At this moment, Xiao Zhen could not describe his feelings. He was confused by Lin Shu's words and angry at his concealment.

In the backyard of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Lin Shu's body was put into a carriage. The carriage had a weird shape, as if it had hit a wall and was loose.

The driver who drove the carriage glanced at Lin Shu who was lying on the sedan behind him, and neatly lowered the sedan curtain.Xiao Zhen was standing on one side. The guards beside him came out and raised their hands to throw him ten taels of silver.

The bearer pressed his waist to accept it without saying anything. He took a few packages of mulberry rice cakes and pecans wrapped in brown kraft paper from the sedan, and handed them to the guards lined up next to Xiao Zhen. The packages were still stained with blood. .

He is Xiao Zhen's informant buried in the city and one of his important confidants.

"Your Majesty, this is the last thing Butler Lin bought before he died. When he was arrested, the snacks were still well protected."

Xiao Zhen nodded, turned around and hid in the house.

The bearer drove the carriage out of the palace quickly.There were still a few orders on the way, and they were all for the dead and injured maids in the big mansion. The people in charge there didn't know the market situation, so they stopped this guy to ask.

The bearer was also impatient, "Fifty taels for those who died, and ten taels for those who lived."

The people next to me were cursing, "Look at what this guy is talking about, whose living people would go to mass graves!"

The bearer of the sedan chair snorted and drove the carriage away in a carefree manner. A bell was tied to the back of the tattered sedan chair, humming a tune, "These days, people are not as good as ghosts..."

The man lying on the car was covered in blood and flesh, and his fingertips were trembling.

That night, a big event happened in the entire capital. A fire broke out in Yuxiu Buzhuang, in which the talking shopkeeper Qiao and several of his waiters were all burned to death.The fabrics of this cloth shop have always been exquisite, and it was also loved by many ladies and ladies of dignitaries, but now it is in ruins.

"Second Miss, this material can't be repaired." Liu Ye came in from the outside, holding Qin Yuwang's thin gauze "war robe" in his hand. Because he was too anxious when leaving the bed a few days ago, the corners of the clothes were A hole was opened.

Qin Yuwang looked away from the letter in his hand, closed it a little heavily, and asked slowly, "It's okay. I'll ask again in a few days. This material is always scarce, so I can't find it all for a while. "

Liu Ye sighed, "No, Miss Second, it's... something happened to the cloth village. There was a fire suddenly last night and it burned all night. The house was burned to the ground and only a shell was left. Today morning Just after dawn, Jing Zhaoyin went to see it, saying that a beggar accidentally lit the haystack by mistake, and chopped it down directly in the street."

Qin Yuwang frowned and squeezed the hand holding the letter slightly. She glanced at the willow leaves with her almond-shaped eyes and quickly ordered, "Go to the library and burn all Yuan Xi's poetry collections and albums. Yuan Shu should also be there before." Several of my paintings were also burned, don’t keep them.”

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Qin Yuwang nervously.

Could it be that Qin Yuwang already knows that Ye Niansi used Xiao Zhen to wipe out all the previous secret works?
Qin Yu glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and don't waste time."

Liu Ye responded hurriedly, turned around and left quickly.

Tan Yuwang held the letter in her hand, and June was furious, but the content of the letter made her feel scared, and her whole back felt cold.

This is the first time Xiao Yan has written to her after such a long separation.It was indeed his handwriting, but the content on it made her unbelievable.

Xiao Yan said that Jiang Fan's corruption and death, and Lin Shu's torture and murder were all planned by Ye Niansi, and he discovered the clues and never dared to tell Xiao Zhen, for fear that Xiao Zhen would become murderous against Ye Niansi. At that time, Tan Yuwang became a widow.

Xiao Yan seemed to have accepted the "fact" that Tan Yuwang "loved" Ye Niansi. He repeatedly wrote in the letter that he would not tell anyone these secrets, but if Tan Yuwang really loved Ye Niansi, then he would Take good care of him and don't let him do these things again. After all, the unjust death of Jiang Fan, Lin Shu, Yuxiu Buzhuang and hundreds of people are all harmless to Tan Yuwang, but "I don't May he hurt you at all."

how could be.

Tan Yuwang didn't believe this.Ye Niansi has obviously changed for the better. Even when she takes off her clothes in front of him, he will still hold back and remain calm.

Jiang Fan and Lin Shu had never met him a few times. How could he be so vicious as to wrong others?But despite saying that, Qin Yuwang felt a little revengeful when something happened to Jiang Fan.The calamity of the Qin Wuhou Mansion was caused by this person, and now he is responsible for the consequences.

As for Lin Shu, he seeks the skin of a tiger and the belly of a wolf. If there is no ghost in him, even if Ye Niansi wants to scheme, he will not be able to find a gap.

Qin Yuwang took a deep breath, lit the brazier, and threw the letter in. Looking at the burning fire, she turned around and walked to the bed, and took out the thick stack of pale pink letter paper from under the pillow.

Densely packed, one note a day, almost half of it has been used up.Tan Yuwang took out a blank page with a heavy heart and picked up every detail. "I feel that he has changed a lot recently. Although I still can't guess what he is thinking, he doesn't look like he is going to harm anyone."

"Little tyrant, little tyrant, I really don't know why God has to arrange for me to fight with you as a supporting female partner. Why can't you let me see your bad intentions and calculations clearly?"

"I found that my heart seemed to have changed. This change made me feel uncomfortable and ashamed. I should fight for my country, for the peace of the prince and the people. Ye Niansi is my enemy, and I cannot sympathize with him. , nor can I sympathize with myself.”

As he was writing, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.Ye Niansi was wearing a moon-green robe and slowly walked in from the outside. His dark eyes caught a glimpse of Qin Yuwang putting away something in a hurry. He was a little suspicious, but he didn't say much. After entering the room, he picked it up from the bookshelf. After writing his own notes, he walked out with his long legs.

"Yeniansi," Tan Yuwang still called him.

The sun shines on the man's tall nose. He slowly turns around, his drooping black eyes suddenly raised, staring at Qin Yu, "Second Miss, is something wrong?"

"The prince's wedding will be in a few days. Let's go pick out some souvenirs. You come with me." Tan Yuwang walked towards him, raised his head and blinked at him.

Ye Niansi looked straight into the distance, blinked disdainfully, "I won't go."

"why?"

"Prince Xiao's new marriage will not happen." Ye Niansi said firmly, with a trace of provocation flashing at the corner of his lips.

Qin Yuwang frowned slightly. She looked at Ye Niansi's expression and felt something strange in her heart. She suddenly recalled what Xiao Yan had mentioned to her in the letter just now, and her heart beat faster.

She raised her hand and squeezed Ye Niansi's arm hard, glaring at him, "Let me ask you, are you planning something behind your back? Who else do you want to harm?"

Ye Niansi raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his face sideways. There were bits of disappointment in his unruly black eyes. He gently raised his hand to shake her off and said indifferently, "Second Miss cares so much about the prince, why do you bother to stay here all day?" I was acting coy in front of me. I just casually guessed, why, is the second lady going to tell me to be a good person with her next sentence? "

Qin Yuwang looked at his nonchalant look, and her heart was inexplicably angry. The person she had rescued from so many dangers still remained stubborn until now.

She clenched her fists, fearing that she would say something inappropriate in a hurry, so she turned around and walked into the door, holding in her stomach, and closed the door.

Jiang Xinlan had been waiting for three days to be told by the maid that Lin Shu had been killed. When Tan Xiaoxian opened the door, she was overjoyed. She even thought it was good news, but instead she saw the man handing over a letter with a heavy heart. The white letter was placed on the table and he looked up at her.

"You don't have to go to Wutai Gate later. I have a few close friends in the army who are waiting at the back gate. You can go with them to hide. After a few days, the wind and night will calm down, and then you can find another place to stay." "After saying that, Tan Xiaoxian was ready to leave.

Jiang Xinlan found it hard to accept this for a while, but she had just found out about Lin Shu. Although she expected something bad, she didn't expect that the separation would come so quickly.

She called out "General" to Tan Xiaoxian, took a letter from her dressing table, walked to him, and held it in front of him.

The woman's belly was swollen and her eyes were red, "I am now a sinner. The general does not need to use this dangerous strategy to send me to escape the disaster of exile. The general said before that when I want to make peace, he will send me a letter of separation. , I have written it and signed it. After the general presses his signature, the relationship between you and me as husband and wife will be over."

Tan Xiaoxian clenched his back molars slightly, his hand hanging on the side of his robe shook a little, and he took the letter, "I will sign it later. There are differences between women and children. I will write a letter requesting Your Majesty to keep you until the time of delivery. Are you here today?" Stay at home and don't go out."

Jiang Xinlan grabbed his sleeve, her watery eyes filled with tears, and begged him, "General, please let me give my father a ride."

Tan Xiaoxian looked sideways at her, and before he spoke with his slightly opened mouth, there was a noise outside the house door. He looked up and saw that it was noon. Zhengyang Street led directly to Wutai Gate. It seemed that it was on the street. People flocked to that place one after another, and it was chaotic.

He did not stop Jiang Xinlan, but saw a maroon dress running out with staggering steps. His expression tightened, and he clenched his fists. He wanted to go out with her to protect her, but considering Jiang Fan's crime, he hesitated again and again. The cronies on the left and right hurriedly followed.

He walked back to the house and looked at the letter. The three words "He Li Shu" seemed to make people feel that their love was as beautiful as a dream, but it had an unfulfilled ending.

When Jiang Xinlan betrayed the Hou Mansion and promoted the Jiang family to the throne, he had indeed made preparations for reconciliation, but now... He held his signature in one hand, crushed the graphite to pieces, and stained it with his big palm. red.

Jiang Xinlan's name was written on the book, but she was determined.Tan Xiaoxian was not a sloppy person. He tossed the letter casually and threw it into the brazier. The flames burned a useless piece of paper.

If Jiang Xinlan knew that Tan Xiaoxian never signed the divorce letter from beginning to end, I wonder if she would feel guilty for the sinister plot she had placed on him.

But at this moment, standing outside the door of the afternoon platform, watching Jiang Fan being tied up on the large and wide altar, Jiang Xinlan was like an irrelevant bystander, just standing calmly, watching with wide eyes, unable to say a word. come out.

In her arms, she held the mink velvet cloak she gave to Jiang Fan, which was heavily stained with his blood.Just when the executioner raised his long knife, Jiang Xinlan walked quickly towards the crowd. She stroked her belly and walked as fast as possible. She wanted Jiang Fan to take one last look at her.

Jiang Fan's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his body was unconscious. He raised his eyes and looked left and right. He wanted to see his precious daughter again.

But his vision was blurred, his left eye was pierced, and the remaining vision in his right eye made it almost difficult for him to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman in the distance.

He thought to himself: Xinlan should come to see me for the last time.

But then he changed his mind and shook his head with a smile: Don't come. He couldn't bear to make her sad in such a bloody scene.

"At noon - to -"

A shout that shocked the sky made the noisy crowd suddenly fall silent.

The executioner had a cold face and threw a token with the word "behead" off the table.

I don't know what kind of thoughts he had, but at the moment when the green knife touched his neck, Jiang Fan smiled slowly at the crowd. He probably thought that if Xinlan came, he would have to say goodbye to her with a smile.But what he didn't know was that Jiang Xinlan was really standing in the crowd opposite. When he smiled, she also smiled. She wanted him to leave this painful world with a smile.

The moment before he died, Jiang Fan's mind ran through his life very quickly——

"I am the only son in the family who was born less than a month old. My mother fell ill after he was born. The family is prosperous, but without my father's love, it is difficult for my mother to live in this house. My eldest brother is knowledgeable, my second brother is smooth, and I The third brother has the aura, but I am the only one who is stupid and foolish.”

"I remember that the year I was born was the ninth year of Ronghe. Because of my weak body, the fortune teller said that my destiny was conflict with my career as an official. My father always wanted to have an official in the family, so he treated me the worst and even gave me money. When I was writing, they were all called Zhu Cui, because my mother had a lot of bamboos in her yard at that time. The bamboos were hollow in the middle and hard on the outside. Every autumn, they would break when the wind blew. Maybe my father didn’t want me to live through that autumn either. .”

"My mother said that in a family with many sons, you should establish your own personality and characteristics so that others can remember you. I have always accepted death and read to death. At that time, I was sitting in a cold house, holding a book by a sage. , Confucius taught me to be honest and honest, and to value discipline and integrity. I was surprised to find that my father agreed with my idea. He hoped that I could be an upright person."

"When I was in high school in the sixth year of Taihe, that day was one of the happiest times in my life. Later I married Wanhua. She often felt inferior because of her appearance, but I think it's good if someone is nice. I always feel at ease with her. . It’s just a pity that when she was still alive, my situation was not good. I didn’t say many words about body warmth to her, and I often felt regretful.”

"My daughter Xinlan is a poor child. This child is sensible. I have been a member of the imperial family for a long time, and she was heavily suppressed. It was not until Xinlan married into the Qin family that I was promoted late in life. Wuhou Yimeng, snapping his fingers It’s just a matter of fact. Even for a short moment, I have no regrets in this life. I don’t have any regrets.”

The long green sky, the soul falls on the Wutai.

When the corpse fell to the ground, Jiang Xinlan fell down in the crowd without even lifting it up, her face turned pale, and bright red blood flowed from her body.Her raised head was as heavy as a stone, and the tears running down her round face were like broken beads, falling one after another from her unyielding eyes.

In the restaurant in the distance, the red color is brilliant, the sound of silk and bamboo is sweet, and the burning of incense is refreshing.

Ye Niansi stood in front of the window, his black eyes coldly looking at the bright red blood above and below the Wutai door.There was evil in his eyes.

Behind her, Lan Zhiruo was wearing a purple gauze skirt with her shoulders half exposed. She was holding a bowl of oil tea in her hand. She walked to Ye Niansi and leaned against the window with a graceful posture. Her charming eyes glanced into the distance. One voice said, "I heard that Lin Shu also died. Before he died, he wiped out all the places where the previous dynasty had made detailed sacrifices. Xiao Zhen was very anxious and assassinated people all over the city. This is really a clever move by the Lord."

Ye Niansi pushed away the tea she handed him, "He told me about Qiuxiang's whereabouts."

Lan Zhiruo sighed and moved a little closer to him, "Of course not. I don't know if this Lin Shu is the woman Xinyi. He took Phantom Powder and didn't even say a word about her. My Lord, what's next? How are you preparing?"

Ye Niansi looked out the window indifferently, with an indifferent voice, "After the white stuff is over, we have to prepare for the happy event. Don't make any other moves in recent days, help me keep an eye on Xiao Yan."

Lan Zhiruo raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill him?"

There was a trace of provocation on Ye Niansi's lips, but only he knew the anger and unknown complex emotions in his eyes, "Just do as I tell you."

Whether it was Guan Changyi's misfortune or the Jiang family's misfortune, Tan Yuwang didn't seem to care that much.

So what will happen to Xiao Yan if his plan hits her head.

Ye Niansi clenched his fists, his black eyes were scarlet.
