The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 85

"I don't know where Manager Qiu got such a treasure?"

"The southern suburb of Weizhou City, Yingyue Villa."

When the words "Yingyue Mountain Villa" entered her ears, Chu Xue's mind went blank for a moment.

After the blankness passed, all kinds of vigilance, speculation, and suspicion followed.

This person, how did he have this jade pendant, how did he know about Yingyue Villa?
The plain hands under the wide sleeves tightly clenched into fists, Chu Xue was full of fear, could it be that he is also from the Xu family?
That's not right, if he was a member of the Xu family, why did he come to save himself during the fire that day?Xu is so looking forward to his own death, will the carefully laid out situation be destroyed by his own people?

Who would he be then?
Who else would know about Yingyue Villa in Weizhou and this jade pendant?

Could it be someone from the old family?
But everyone in the family is obviously dead?
At this moment, Chu Xue's mind has never turned so quickly. She tried her best to recall the scene after she met Qiu Yan, trying to find some clues...Suddenly, the memory stopped at the palace banquet when she first met. That's what she said.

"The empress is naturally beautiful, and she can be recognized in a crowd at a glance."

Breathing stagnation, time went back to my childhood, the last night in Weizhou, that very similar sentence.

"We, Wenwen, are naturally beautiful, and we can be recognized in a crowd at a glance."

No, besides her and Nan Feng, there is another person, that is Uncle Xiaocheng.

Him, is he really...

Uncle Xiaocheng?

Yanling seemed to have this guess too, the master and servant frowned tightly, looking at the person in front of them together in disbelief.

Qiu Yan understood the expressions of the two of them, knelt down in front of her again, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Miss, I really didn't expect that we would meet again."

Chu Xue opened her mouth wide, tears welled up in her eyes, and said tremblingly, "You are...you really are..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yan suddenly lifted the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a tiger's head mark on his right shoulder.

That is the unique mark of the Yue Family Army, and all the soldiers who follow Dad have the mark on their bodies.

Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan.Chu Xue stared at the person in front of her, and said his name silently in her heart. Suddenly, she realized that the two characters "Yue Cheng" and "Yue Cheng" took half of each other. Isn't that the source of the name "Qiu Yan"!
He is really, really Uncle Xiaocheng, no wonder she always finds his eyes familiar, no wonder he rushed into the fire to save herself...

Tears rolled down instantly, she got up and helped Qiu Yan up, choked up and said, "Uncle Xiaocheng? Is it really you? How did you, how did you become like this? How did you come here?"

Qiu Yan's eyes were also red, but he tried his best to keep calm, and said: "Wenwen finally recognized me?" After a sad smile, he said again: "Don't worry about why I came to this place, didn't you come too?"

Hearing the words, he looked up at Yan Ling who was already in tears.

Yes, when that catastrophe happened, everyone who survived has changed their destiny. She changed from a wayward girl to a palace concubine, and Yue Cheng also changed from a young soldier in prime of life to today's secretary of ceremony. The deputy supervisor, an eunuch and eunuch.

Is this a bit too cruel!
Tears fell one after another, and Chu Xue asked Qiu Yan tremblingly, "Uncle, you have kung fu, why, why did you choose this path?"

Qiu Yan smiled and sighed: "What else can I do? People live forever and know how to repay their kindness. The general treats me like a second-born parent. If something happens to them, I can still live in this world with peace of mind. Can I still be worthy of being a human being? The martial arts that the general bestowed on me, a life?"

Qiu Yan shook his head, and said: "I tried my best to change my appearance and sneak into the palace, just for one thing, revenge!"

"Revenge?" The remaining two asked in surprise at the same time.

"Yes." Qiu Yan nodded, explaining his original intention of entering the palace, "Of course Xu Jilin is hateful, but the late emperor is also to blame. If he hadn't listened to the slander and secretly instructed the Xu family to raid Yingyue Villa back then, how could our Yue family be the general? Was caught off guard and easily wiped out? The first emperor’s concern was nothing more than our soldiers and villagers in Weizhou. He killed people secretly before convicting him. Gong sneaked into the Supervisor of Ceremonies just to find an opportunity to kill that pair of foolish emperors and treacherous ministers, but..."

As soon as his voice stopped, Chu Xue asked tearfully, "But what?"

"However, as I got older, I realized that if I tried my best to get rid of the faint king, I would certainly be happy for a while, but the general's grievances are still there, how can the general's spirit in the sky be at ease, and it's just a death, it's too cheap for Mr. Xu ..."

Hearing this, Chu Xue frowned, and agreed: "That's right, it's just that death is too cheap for them. What my Yue's family suffered back then, his Xu family should also taste it all."

Qiu Yan nodded, "Wenwen is right, so when I met you at the time and knew that you had gone to Heng Wang's side and was favored so much, I saw hope again..." The conversation changed, and he asked, "Wenwen knows, When you returned to Beijing from Yanzhou in the past, why did the Empress Dowager suddenly get poisoned and faint?"

At this time, when the old matter was suddenly brought up, Chu Xue was startled, and after thinking for a while, she asked incredulously, "Could it be that uncle did the poison?"

Qiu Yan was silent.

Chu Xue was shocked, and hurriedly asked him, "Why did uncle do this?"

Qiu Yandao: "I chose that time to start, because the battle between the emperor and the abolished crown prince was raging at that time, and it only took a little vine to make the empress dowager unconscious, and the suspicion of Empress Chen was confirmed, and the late emperor finally made up his mind to abolish the empress... ..."

He took two steps closer and looked straight into Chu Xue's eyes, "There is absolutely nothing impossible in this world. The former King Heng is now the emperor, Wenwen, now you can help the Yue family clear their grievances and avenge the general's wife and the son! In this world, Only you can!"

The earlier mystery was solved at this time, and Chu Xue finally found out the truth. It turned out that Uncle Xiaocheng also contributed to Song Chen's accession to the throne.

At this time, the word "revenge" came to her ears, and she rolled her eyelashes and trembled slightly.She also thought about this possibility, but even if Song Chen dotes on her again, she is just a concubine and cannot interfere with the affairs of the previous court.

But then Qiu Yan's words made her see hope. Qiu Yan said: "The general's former subordinates have gone to other places one after another. Among them are people who want revenge like you and me, such as Chai Jin, the servant of the Ministry of War. As far as I know, in the past I have always respected the general, and I am also unwilling for the Yue family, as well as General Qin Mu, no, it should be called An Xihou now, or even..." Qiu Yan lowered his voice: "Even within the Xu family, there are not no people."

Chu Xue looked at him in surprise, she never thought that there are so many people in this world who love her father, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Uncle Qin Mu, father Chu Lin, elder brother Chu Jian, and even Xu Jilin's subordinates... so to speak Come on, it is absolutely not impossible to reverse the case for daddy.

Seeing that Chu Xue's gaze gradually became firmer, Qiu Yan took the opportunity to explain the purpose of his trip, and he persuaded him earnestly: "The harem and the former court restrain each other, if you want to bring down Xu Jilin, you must first shake the queen, so, Wenwen, you You must not let this sink in! If you want to gain a foothold in the harem for a long time, you must not lose the favor except for your position. What's more, the Chu family outside the palace and the little princess in the palace now need to be attached to you. If you don't Rise up, where do they go? If the emperor is really cold-hearted, won't they be crushed at will? So the most important thing right now is to regain favor!"

Qiu Yan earnestly tried to arouse Chu Xue's hope and fighting spirit, but he didn't know that Chu Xue had never lost her Sacred Heart, so how could she say it again?

The old friend has recognized each other, and Uncle Xiaocheng has paid too much for the Yue family. Chu Xue feels that this is the most trustworthy relative, and she should not hide it from him anymore. much better.So Chu Xue calmed down a little, and truthfully told the other party about Song Chen's arrangement.

It turned out that Beihu repeatedly caused troubles on the border, and Song Chen had already made up his mind to conquer. But because Dongfu was also ready to move, in order to prevent the two conquests from damaging the national strength, Song Chen decided to win over Jin, who was on the sidelines between the two countries. Li, in order to stabilize Dongfu, it is better to hurry up and get rid of Beihu, so as to restore the stability of the border.

And pretending to neglect Chu Xue's "love" Concubine Li, and taking the initiative to show favor to Jin Li in the name of doting on Concubine Li, is one of his methods to stabilize Dongfu.

On the other hand, because of Xu Jilin's arrogance this time, Song Chen no longer wanted to use him, or in other words, didn't want him to earn military merit.After the last time the Queen and Concubine Li had a double reed at the Leer's birthday banquet, Song Chen also saw that Concubine Li had been used by the Queen. Chu Xue was the only one who knew about it.

After Chu Xue revealed the truth of the matter, Qiu Yan understood the truth of Chu Xue's "falling out of favor", and finally felt relieved.He really thought that Song Chen was angry and cold because of Chu Xue's refutation of Xu Jilin at the celebration banquet, but now he knew that Song Chen was also wary of Xu Jilin.

This is a good thing.

Yan Ling, who was listening silently at the side, finally figured it out. She never believed that the emperor would really dislike the master, but every day when she took Le'er to the Qinzheng Hall to pay her respects, Song Chen stopped asking about the master's affairs. It made her a little worried again, but now that she has found out the truth, she is finally relieved.She smiled and said to Chu Xue: "The servants are still surprised, why the emperor is willing to keep the master cold, this is good." After a while of rejoicing, she said: "But this time I have been staying behind closed doors. Going to Fengyi Palace to invite you to listen to the cynicism and ridicule of those people, it will always be difficult for you to be the master."

"What kind of embarrassment is this?" Chu Xue smiled lightly, "Let them do whatever they want, but they just want to make me sad, but unfortunately, when the truth comes out, they will be the ones who will be sad!"

Yanling and Qiu Yan nodded together, and heard her say again: "For me, it's just a quiet day, it's nothing. As for Concubine Li, it's just a pawn, let alone take it to heart, but the emperor has already treated Fengyi Palace. Even Xu's vigilance, this is the most important thing!"

Qiu Yan was silent, but Yan Ling's eyes lit up even more.

After being silent for a while, Qiu Yan asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Chu Xue shook her head, "Not yet, my uncle has helped me too much! Knowing that you are here, from now on, I can feel at ease. If there is anything in the future, I will let Fugui invite you." After a pause, Thinking of something important, she hurriedly asked: "Is there anyone else in the palace who knows the identity of uncle?"

Qiu Yan hurriedly comforted her, "No more, don't worry, I've become like this, I can't even recognize you, who else would know?"

Hearing this, Chu Xue's heart settled down, but bitterness appeared again.That's right, Uncle Xiaocheng has become like this. The three of them who survived all changed their identities in secret. Compared to Uncle Xiaocheng now, did she live too peacefully in the past?

Seeing that Chu Xue was about to burst into tears again, Qiu Yan hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Although Fugui doesn't know about it, it's available, so you can rest assured."

She nodded.

In order to avoid suspicion from others, it was inconvenient for several people to talk in the room for too long. Qiu Yan was relieved when he learned the truth, and left.After all, they are both in the palace, and the future will be long.

Not long after Chu Xue and Qiu Yan met, Song Chen finally personally drew up the generals to go to the northern border. He has been stationed in Yanzhou for more than ten years, and has dealt with the barbarian tribe of Beihu many times. If he is familiar with Beihu, it is he The former Yan Army was none other than the Yan Army, so the leader of the Yan Army was still the main one sent to the expedition this time.

Since the entire plan was made by Song Chen in private, it was unavoidable that the court was shocked when they first heard the imperial edict to conquer Beihu. Chen separated part of the army originally under Xu Jilin, Marquis of Pingnan, and merged it into the Yan army for this expedition.

This arrangement actually makes sense. Song Chen wanted to completely wipe out the Northern Hu this time, so he assembled a mighty Yan army. people playful.

The emperor called Pingnanhou's army, but he didn't use any of his generals. Instead, he used several newly promoted newcomers. Although the Ministry of War and Pingnanhou himself raised objections, the emperor insisted on going his own way... Some people began to speculate, Your Majesty has already started training newcomers?

However, before everyone recovered from this change, they heard another shocking news.

This time, the king decides to mobilize troops against Beihu, and the emperor will conquer it himself!
