long live the queen

Chapter 50

The clues were interrupted by the deaths of the two men. As the head of the prison, Bai Liyue, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, said that the two men committed suicide before asking anything. Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do about it. .

The death of these two people made Wei Yunqing and others confirm that the background of this kidnapping and rape case is indeed not simple.It's just that everyone is dead and their identities cannot be found out. This case may become a headless case.

But in the next few days, Wei Yunqing's surroundings were calm, it seemed that the case was over and there was no follow-up.Wei Yunqing always felt that the purpose of this case was very strange, and it didn't seem like he was going to hurt her. Maybe seeing that the incident had become so troublesome that even Yang Yi knew about it, the people behind the scenes had to give up and didn't dare to start again.After several days of fear, Wei Yunqing did what he was supposed to do, and stopped scaring himself.

But after that, Wei Yunqing's places of travel were indeed reduced a lot. Her family would go shopping, and when she was bored, she would go to Liu Hui's mother's house, or Sun Sisi's house.Once when she was in the Sun residence, Mrs. Sun called her over alone, saying that she wanted to protect her matchmaker, which shocked Wei Yunqing.She understood that Mrs. Sun had good intentions, so she had no choice but to decline.Mrs. Sun looked a little regretful, and said that although Wei Yunqing was a bit older and had no elders in her family, she couldn't help but have a good relationship with the emperor and made great achievements. It is not difficult to marry a decent family. Women always have to marry , she should also plan for herself as soon as possible.

What else could Wei Yunqing say?She naturally disagrees with Mrs. Sun's words, but Mrs. Sun has already considered her to the greatest extent under the atmosphere created by this era. The concept that Mrs. Sun has maintained for almost a lifetime cannot happen because of her few words To change, she had no choice but to thank and decline the other party's kindness.

Later, when Wei Yunqing accidentally mentioned this matter to Liu Huiniang, Liu Huiniang also sighed a few times.Liu Huiniang is younger than Wei Yunqing, but she is just a businessman's daughter, and she shows up in public. Marriage is more difficult, but after being instructed by Wei Yunqing, she has relaxed a lot. If she can find a man she loves in the future, she is willing to marry her. Even if everyone is happy, if not, one person can live a lifetime.

"In this world, men are always more lenient to men than us women." Liu Huiniang sighed, "Women will be called old girls before they are married, and no one cares about them. There are still many people asking for marriage."

"Yes." Wei Yunqing sighed, holding his chin.In such a situation, even after thousands of years, it is not much different.Gender inequality has lasted for thousands of years. Even in the open era that advocates human rights in modern times, it has not been completely avoided. Before she wore it, there were even some places that advocated Chinese studies, but recited the rules of disciples, and even bound feet. This kind of feudal remnant is simply appalling, but it is a retrogression of history!
"I heard that Qian Jingang and Ji of Hubu Shangshu's family intend to marry General Yan." Liu Huiniang sighed in a low voice, "But I heard that General Yan's family doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying Hubu Shangshu, so this matter has been dragging on. There are rumors in the market that this General Yan may not like women, he likes... men! But so what? General Yan guards our Liangjiang Mountains, whether he likes women or men, it does not prevent him from being a hero! "

Wei Yunqing just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out.She hadn't told Liu Huiniang about her relationship with Yan Rusong yet, so Liu Huiniang would brazenly say this in front of her.

"Where did this kind of rumor come from?" Wei Yunqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That's what everyone says." Liu Huiniang laughed, "General Yan is now in his twenties, but he hasn't married yet. No wonder people think about it."

Wei Yunqing inexplicably felt guilty. If she agreed to marry Yan Rusong, perhaps those rumors would be self-defeating by now.

"Then... is the daughter of Shangshu Hubu famous?" Wei Yunqing asked.

Liu Huiniang was stunned: "I don't seem to have heard of it before. But you also know that I am just a merchant's daughter, and I don't have the opportunity to attend the gatherings of those rich officials, so naturally I don't know much about it."

"Oh..." Wei Yunqing nodded.

Hubu Shangshu wants to marry Yan Rusong... I think the daughter raised by that high-ranking official must be gentle and virtuous, suitable for a house and IKEA, which is most in line with the aesthetics of women in this era.In such a comparison, she, an unruly woman, probably has very poor competitiveness.

When Liu Huiniang didn't mention it, Wei Yunqing hadn't carefully considered the fact that Yan Rusong was a sweet potato, but now it seems that she is in great danger.If she doesn't announce her ownership as soon as possible, maybe Yan Rusong will be snatched away?Even if his heart is with her, what about his family?The other party is Shangshu Hubu!

That evening, Wei Yunqing received a message from Deng Hong, saying that Yan Rusong was free tomorrow and would come to look for her.Wei Yunqing thought about it all night, repeatedly deliberating over the pros and cons of marrying or not, and finally made up his mind that when Yan Rusong came, he let go.If he wishes to marry her now, then she should.In this way, she can feel at ease and continue to run in after marriage. Anyway, even if she really can't go on in the end, there is still the option of reconciliation.

Early the next morning, Wei Yunqing dressed himself up beautifully, waiting for Yan Rusong's arrival.However, to her disappointment, Deng Hong was the only one waiting, and the news Deng Hong brought was not good at all—the Minister of the Household Department and his family members went to visit Yan's mansion, but Yan Rusong couldn't come out.

Ladies!Doesn't it include the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department?Hubu Shangshu is really a scheming boy, he just wants to create opportunities for the two to meet and communicate, so as to sell his daughter!
Wei Yunqing was anxious, but he couldn't rush to the door to drag Yan Rusong out, so he could only stay at home and sulk.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yi came later, bringing a bunch of novelty gadgets, Wei Yunqing's attention was distracted, he put on a forced smile, and sent the reluctant Yang Yi away in the evening.

But Yang Yi who left Wei Yunqing's small courtyard did not return to the palace immediately, he asked Zheng Xiang: "Zheng Xiang, how is the Yan Mansion now?"

Before Yang Yi had asked Zheng Xiang to pay attention to Yan Rusong's every move, so he knew everything about his family.

Zheng Xiang said: "Half an hour ago, the Minister of the Household Department left with his family."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Don't go back to the palace, just wait here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiang lowered his head and smiled.

Just a moment after Yang Yi finished speaking, a horse galloped from a distance and stopped at the gate of the small courtyard.Xiao Man, who saw Yan Rusong coming on horseback from afar, rushed back to the small courtyard to report the good news. Wei Yunqing ran out immediately, and happened to see Yan Rusong who had dismounted at the door.

The irritated emotions that had been irritating all day disappeared at this moment, Wei Yunqing didn't care about others, and rushed up to hug Yan Rusong directly.

Xiaoman was looking at Yan Rusong with a smile at first, but when he saw this, he quietly went back to the small courtyard.It was getting late at this moment, this small courtyard was already quiet, and there was no one else around.

Yan Rusong was startled, and then said softly: "Sorry, I'm late because we have guests at home." He paused, and said apologetically, "I can only stay for a while, I have to go back."

Wei Yunqing shook his head, resting his head on his chest, unwilling to leave.After seeing off the guests, he immediately came over and explained to her, which showed that he took her seriously and cared about her mood very much.And she also understood how much her emotions would be affected without Yan Rusong.For this alone, she should marry him, and we'll talk about it later, at least for this moment, she wants to spend the rest of her life with him.

"Rusong...do you still want to marry me now?" Wei Yunqing asked softly.

Yan Rusong was startled again, and then his face beamed with joy: "Yun Qing, are you willing to marry me?"

"I am willing!" Wei Yunqing replied vigorously.If she can find such an excellent man who tolerates her, understands her, and is so good in this era, who else will she marry if she doesn't marry him?It was the luck of her life to meet him!
Yan Rusong's lips trembled slightly, he swallowed several times, closed his eyes and opened them again.He had been waiting for her words for a long time, and he thought he would have to wait any longer. The surprise at this moment was worth it when he won the martial arts exam.

"I, I'll go back and tell my father!" Yan Rusong said in a low voice, trembling with confusion and surprise in his voice.

"Okay... I'll wait for your family to propose marriage!" Wei Yunqing said.

Yan Rusong let go of Wei Yunqing, turned around and wanted to get on the horse, but Wei Yunqing was also in agitated mood, with a smile on his mouth, not going to stop him.But before he got on the horse, she suddenly had an impulse, rushed up and grabbed his arm, and when he turned around, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.

Yan Rusong was stunned, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.

Wei Yunqing also blushed, ran away after the kiss, stopped behind the small courtyard door and turned around, looked at Yan Rusong who was standing blankly at the door, and smiled coquettishly: "I'll wait for you."

When Wei Yunqing entered the small courtyard, Yan Rusong felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He touched his lips dully, and his eyes were suddenly stained with joy and tenderness.

He turned around and got on his horse, and left the gate of the small courtyard like a bolt of lightning.

Not far from the shadows.

Yang Yi bit his lower lip, his eyes were full of anger, his reason was burnt to nothing.

Zheng Xiang fanned the flames from the side and said: "Your Majesty, look, if you don't hurry up, this girl Wei will be snatched away by Yan Rusong!"

The two were far away and couldn't hear the conversation between Yan Rusong and Wei Yunqing, but they could clearly see their movements. From the first hug to the last kiss, Yang Yi saw everything in his eyes. Li, suffocated with anger.

"Go back to the palace! Go back to the palace immediately!" Yang Yi shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiang chuckled.

That night, Wei Yunqing happily watched the moon in the small courtyard after dinner, looking forward to Yan Rusong's marriage proposal the next day.

In addition to anticipation, she is not without worries.Being someone else's wife always has a lot of worries, and I don't know if I can get along well with Yang Rusong's parents in the future.Presumably they must not be used to her relatively unrestrained attitude, so for the harmony of the family, she has to restrain herself a little...

Wei Yunqing was thinking wildly, Xiaoman hurried in, his face was a little pale: "Gu, girl, you are surrounded by officers and soldiers outside!"

Wei Yunqing stood up abruptly, frowning: "What officers and soldiers?"

While the two were talking, a large group of people rushed into the small courtyard, Wei Yunqing took a closer look, and it was Jin Yiwei who came!

But the leader is Zheng Xiang.

Holding the shining imperial edict in his hand, Zheng Xiang smiled and said to Wei Yunqing after standing still: "Miss Wei, accept the edict."

"Receive the order? What order?" Wei Yunqing showed surprise.

Zheng Xiang said with a smile: "Isn't Miss Wei aware of this old slave's thought? Miss Wei, please hurry up, this old slave is still waiting to return to the palace after his mission to return to life?"

Wei Yunqing had an ominous premonition, facing Jin Yiwei who was staring at her around her, she shook her head and said, "If you have anything to say, let Ah Yi tell me, I won't accept the order."

Zheng Xiang shook his head and sighed: "Miss Wei, why are you bothering? This decree, you have to accept it if you accept it, or accept it if you don't accept it!"

Although Wei Yunqing did not kneel down to receive the decree at the moment, Zheng Xiang seemed not to see it, spread out the imperial decree and read aloud: "The foundation of the world lies in the country, and the foundation of the country lies in the family. Since the two emperors and three kings, there has been no family. And the world is not governed. My rate is the way, to face all nations, if there is a lack of praise, you must first be virtuous... Wei's cloud is clear, soft and bright but quiet, dignified and friendly... Here is a golden book and golden treasure , canonize you as imperial concubine, in the play!..."

The imperial decree was very long, Wei Yunqing was confused when he heard it, but he didn't miss the most important thing - she was named the imperial concubine.

"Impossible, this must be a mistake!" Before Zheng Xiang finished reading, Wei Yunqing said loudly and urgently.Why?Why did Yang Yi issue such an imperial decree?Was this decree really made by him?

"Miss Wei... No, look at my memory, this old slave should call you the imperial concubine empress." Zheng Xiang laughed, "This is written by the emperor himself, how could it be wrong? The imperial concubine empress is still Pack up some things as soon as possible, and return to the palace with this old servant!"

Wei Yunqing turned pale: "No, I won't go back! Let Yang Yi come to see me!"

Zheng Xiang said: "Mother, if you have something to say to the emperor, you can go to the palace with the old slave to see the emperor."

"I won't go!" Wei Yunqing shook his head.She had a hunch that if she went, she would never come out again.

"Your Majesty, why are you bothering?" Zheng Xiang sighed, "The emperor's imperial edict has been issued, if you resist the edict and don't obey it, it will be your family who are in trouble."

"If you dare to touch my family, I will fight you hard!" Wei Yunqing said sternly.

Zheng Xiang's complexion changed slightly, and he sighed again: "Since the empress refuses to obey the order, the old slave can only force it."

With a wave of his hand, several old nuns walked out from behind, stepped forward and held Wei Yunqing down.

Wei Yunqing's complexion changed drastically: "What are you doing? Let me go! Xiao Man, Xiao Shuan!"

Wei Yunqing's yelling almost spread outside the small courtyard, but the surrounding people came out to see that Jin Yiwei had surrounded the small courtyard tightly, and whoever dared to make a sound, took a look and hid back one after another.And Xiao Man and Xiao Shuan, who were named by Wei Yunqing, had already been held down by Jin Yiwei, unable to move at all.

Although the old mama was old, she still had strong hands. Wei Yunqing tried his best to break free, but they caught him outside the small courtyard and stuffed him into the carriage.Even in the carriage, she didn't stop struggling, and injured several old mothers with her flailing limbs, but they didn't care at all, holding Wei Yunqing tightly and refusing to let go.

"Let go of me, let me go!" Wei Yunqing shouted with wide eyes, "I'm already engaged to someone, so I can't enter the palace!"

But an hour or two ago she told Yan Rusong that she agreed to marry her, and he would come to propose marriage tomorrow, and then she would be able to be with him openly.

"Then what kind of ghost imperial concubine, whoever likes to be the one, I don't deserve it! You let me go back!" Wei Yunqing shouted with a hoarse voice.But all these old nuns kept their mouths tightly shut, as if they didn't hear her words.As long as she didn't get out of the carriage, even if she bit them, they would bear it silently.

The carriage drove steadily all the way, Wei Yunqing yelled all the way, until his throat became hoarse and he could no longer yell.

When we arrived at Shenwumen, the carriage didn't stop, and we went all the way inward until we reached Yanxi Palace. Wei Yunqing was taken off the carriage by the old nuns and locked in the palace room. Her clothes were changed into gorgeous palace clothes.

At this moment, Wei Yunqing was powerless to struggle, and was at the mercy of others like a puppet.But she didn't give up her resistance, shouting and struggling were useless, she could only wait for Yang Yi to come, have a good fight with him, ask him why he did this, and tell him to withdraw his will and let her out of the palace.

However, to Wei Yunqing's disappointment, she waited in the palace all night, but Yang Yi didn't come over. Instead, the palace people she didn't know invited her to bed.How could she sleep in this situation?Regardless of the pleadings of the palace people, she sat on the chair and waited for Yang Yi to come.

At dawn, Wei Yunqing sat with stiff hands and feet, and his whole body was cold, but Yang Yi didn't show up after all.

She thought that he must have a guilty conscience for doing such a mess.But why?

She remembered in a daze that Yang Yi had been begging her to return to the palace before, but she refused. At that time, she thought that as long as she was firm, Yang Yi would have nothing to do, but she never thought that he would use this method to force her to return to the palace.To him, she was just an interesting playmate, wasn't she?He can make it impossible for her to resist with an imperial decree, but has he ever thought that his messing around like this will ruin her life at all?It is already miserable enough for her to travel to this era. She finally met a man who wanted to marry and was able to marry, but Yang Yi wanted to get a foot in him, but in order to force her to return to the palace to play with him, he made the concubine's will , ruined her marriage with Yan Rusong!
The more Wei Yunqing thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became.

How shocked and sad should Yan Rusong be when he heard the news that she had entered the palace as a concubine?He was still waiting to propose marriage today, but the bride was gone...

She stood up suddenly and walked out quickly.

She wants to find Yang Yi and let him take back the imperial decree. She wants to leave the palace to meet Yan Rusong and marry him!

As soon as Wei Yunqing walked to the door, he was stopped by several old mothers. She shouted angrily: "I am the imperial concubine, who dares to stop me?"

There was a little fear on the faces of several people, and one of them said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has ordered you to stay in Yanxi Palace."

"I want to see the emperor!" Wei Yunqing said.

The old mother said again: "When the emperor wants to see the empress, he will come over naturally, and I ask the empress to relax and wait..."

Before the old woman could finish speaking, Wei Yunqing suddenly turned to one side, passing a few people and running out.Several people were stunned, and hurriedly turned their heads to chase after him.Some people were also blocked in front, blocking Wei Yunqing's path. She did not give up and wanted to bypass the encirclement, but she did not succeed in slamming left and right. Instead, she was exhausted and sad after a night of sleepless nights. Moments surged up, she only felt her eyes go dark, and then passed out.

Before she fell into a coma, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Rusong..." The voice was so soft that no one could hear it except herself.

Early in the morning, Yan Rusong straightened his clothes and waited for his father Yan Zhidong to get up.When he came back last night, his father had already fallen asleep due to drinking too much, he couldn't do it, so he had to go back and didn't come back until morning.

"Father, I want to marry Miss Wei, and I hope you agree." Yan Rusong's figure was upright, his expression was soft, and there was a slight smile at the corners of his slightly curved eyes, but his gaze was slightly drooped to cover up his slightly shy thoughts.Over the years, he has not considered the matter of marrying a wife due to years of fighting, until now he has found a woman like Yun Qing, and wants to marry her as his wife and stay with her for the rest of his life.

In his mind is Wei Yunqing's sly and beautiful appearance, her smile is like a flower, she has entered his heart little by little, and has become an inseparable part of him.He straightened his back more and more, and raised his eyes to look directly at his father, with an extremely firm heart.

Yan Zhidong was silent, and asked for a while, "The girl Wei you are referring to is the girl Wei who escorted His Majesty back to Beijing?"

"Exactly." Yan Rusong replied unhurriedly.

Yan Zhidong didn't answer for a long time again.

Yan Rusong gradually became anxious in waiting, and finally couldn't help but said: "Father, although Miss Wei doesn't have a famous family, she is kind and intelligent..."

Yan Zhidong interrupted him: "Rusong, forget about her."

"Father?" Yan Rusong's complexion changed slightly, and he said immediately, "Father, don't you think she's lonely and helpless?"

Yan Zhidong smiled bitterly: "Rusong, in your heart, being a father is such a snob?"

"Father...then why?" Yan Rusong frowned slightly.

Yan Zhidong said: "Last night, His Majesty decreed Miss Wei to be the Royal Concubine, and she was admitted to the palace last night."

Yan Rusong turned pale, and murmured: "This is impossible..."

Seeing his son's sadness, Yan Zhidong couldn't bear it either, but he said ruthlessly: "Ru Song, Miss Wei is now His Majesty's harem concubine, if you care about me, Yan Shi, forget about her, don't mention her again."

"Father, please allow me to leave first!" Yan Rusong lowered his gaze, the hands beside him were clenched into fists, and there was a little tremor in his voice.

"Rusong..." Father Yan shook his head and sighed slightly.

Yan Rusong galloped across the street and rushed to the small courtyard. When he saw the downcast Xiao Man, he asked eagerly, "Where is Miss Wei?"

Seeing that it was Yan Rusong, Xiao Man first showed joy, then shook his head and sighed: "General Yan, you are late, the girl was ordered by the emperor to be a concubine last night, and she was taken into the palace."

Xiaoman knew that his girl was not an ordinary person. If there was no General Yan, he felt that it would be great news that Miss Wei was made the imperial concubine. However, he saw his girl's affection for General Yan, and he silently blessed him. , who would have thought that he would be taken into the palace by the emperor halfway.Now he also knows that the noble man who often comes here to visit his daughter is the current emperor.

Even though he was disrespectful to the emperor, he still had to think in his heart - this is taking love with a knife!
Yan Rusong staggered a step, his face pale.
