Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 6

"I think Brother Wenyuan has something to say to my younger sister, so I'll go back to my room first." Su Yan hurriedly left with an excuse, not wanting to entangle her, Ning Wenyuan seemed to have something to say, but how can I teach the Su family The little girl was entangled and couldn't get away, so she had to watch helplessly as the slender figure disappeared behind the arch.

Su Yan's bedroom has windows on all sides, and evenly colored silk brocade curtains are hung, which are thin and delicate. The bookshelves and piano tables in the room are complete. On the wall is a picture of a begonia sleeping in spring, although it is not very gorgeous, it is elegant and quiet, presumably it is the daughter of the eldest lady, and the situation is definitely not bad.

Sure enough, on the evening of the second day, Su Fu returned home safely, and it was finally a family reunion.

He looked only about 40 years old, capable and neat, but he was a honest and steady person.

He called Su Yan over, asked about the injury, and had to teach her a lesson, Zhao kept saying from the side, "Yan'er has become more sensible this time around."

Su Fu was just talking, he was tired for two days and needed a good night's rest.

The dinner was eaten in a hurry, Mrs. Zhao saw that Mr. Su was not in high spirits, so she stopped talking.

After the family banquet was over, Su Yan brought hot tea and went to the study in person.

Seeing that Su Fu was reading the papers at the desk, Su Yan covered the door lightly with her hands, put the teacup on the edge of the desk, and stood aside to grind the ink carefully.

After about half a cup of tea, Su Fu slowly raised his head, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Su Yan showed shame, bowed deeply, and said, "Daughter's recklessness this time seems to have caused a catastrophe, please father to punish."

Su Fu sighed a few times, finally helped her up, pulled her to sit beside the case, and said, "You have suffered such a serious crime, how can father be willing to punish you again, but he hates you for being useless, since you were young, you have been straight-tempered, It's fine at home, but which master in the palace is easy to provoke?"

Su Yan heard these words from the bottom of her heart, and knew that although he was stern on the surface, he cared about her daughter in his heart, and was also touched, so she said, "Father's teaching, Yan'er will keep it in mind, and I will definitely be cautious in my words and deeds in the future. You are worried."

Su Fu drank tea slowly, gazing at her wound and said, "The Tang family is destroyed. Now above the court, Shen Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, is in power. Girl, it is a blessing to be able to get this life back!"

Su Yan's expression darkened, she thought about it, and finally asked, "Father, is it because of Prime Minister Tang that you are being tried this time?"

"Yes, in the past half month, all the courtiers involved with the Tang family have been personally interrogated by Yu Shitai. His Majesty has found out the clues to the case of Tang Xiang's rebellion, and it is not all true. I think it will not take a few days. The truth will come to light. It’s just that this case is so ferocious that it shocked the government and the public, and His Majesty has to deal with it first, but it’s a pity that Prime Minister Tang passed away too quickly, and it’s hard to hope that the grievances will be cleared.”

Su Yan only felt that every word was like a sword, gouged out at the tip of her heart, piercing her heart with deep pain, her father was loyal and filial all her life, and her mother was virtuous and virtuous all her life, but she couldn't die with peace of mind, and her own family couldn't die with filial piety. repaid?
Her eyes were sore, Su Yan had no choice but to hold back her tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then what should we do with the rest of the Tang family?"

Su Fu didn't notice anything unusual about his daughter, and said, "The prime minister temporarily confines himself to the prime minister's mansion and allows relatives to return to the family until the final imperial edict. The death of Concubine Rong means that she will be rehabilitated in the future. The Tang family is exhausted. Time to reset."

Su Yan didn't say anything for a long time, she clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, she bit the cherry lips under the veil unconsciously, and there was a sweet and fishy smell, like the poisoned wine she drank that day.

"I shouldn't have said this to you, but since I said it, I want you to keep it in mind. The clouds and waves in the temple are weird, and it's important to be alone. Your boudoir's immature willow should not have anything to do with it."

Su Yan's beautiful eyes were lowered, she answered, and got up to say goodbye, Su Fu waved her hand to signal her to take a rest.

The night was as cold as water, and she lay on the bed, unable to close her eyes for a long time.

It's only been a few days, but it's like a lifetime ago, Su's mansion is peaceful and peaceful, but it brings out the turmoil in his heart more and more.

The nine palaces are her tomb and her inescapable doom. One day, she will start over with a new identity.

Only in this way can the enmity of her Tang family Ruhai be offset.

With Su Yan's 24 years of experience in her previous life, it is not difficult to deal with the people of the Su family. Master Su and Mrs. Su are quite satisfied with the changes in their daughter.

The second concubine, Mrs. Zhou, was also friendly on the scene. The youngest sister, Su Zhi, was lively. After all, she was only 11 years old, and she was still childish.

Speaking of which, Su Yan is only fifteen years old, but she has experienced the coldness of the world, and her temperament is much calmer than ordinary young ladies.

On the seventh day after Su Yan left the palace, the vigorous conspiracy case of Prime Minister Tang came to light in just a few days.

The Holy Majesty personally issued an edict to avenge the injustice of Tang Xiang, saying that Tang Zhengqing was framed by the rebel party. He was originally a loyal minister and good minister.

Was such an ending expected?
Except for the involvement of a few low-ranking officials, the whole case was so understated, and three people died in vain, it is not as good as this paper!
How could she not understand, if the emperor hadn't been wary of her Tang family for a long time, how could she trust his words so easily!The tragic death of his parents and his family's death in the cold palace were not caused by Duan Zhaoling himself, but it was because of him after all.

Birds are gone, good bows are hidden, foxes and rabbits are dead, and running dogs are cooked.

The Tang family is loyal and cannot escape such a fate.

Ning Wenyuan often went in and out of Su's residence, Su Fu had a close relationship with his mentor and apprentice, and the whole family also regarded him as their own family.The servants all said in private that if there were no accidents, Mr. Ning would probably be the son-in-law of the Su family.

Su Yan doesn't show her face often, and spends most of her time in her boudoir.

Lan Ruo melted the lotus jade ointment in a silver plate, mixed it thoroughly with warm water, and applied the medicine carefully, "Miss is born beautiful, such a serious injury has disappeared by [-]% or [-]% in just a few days, I think it won't take long, will be healed."

Su Yan turned her face sideways and looked carefully. The face in the mirror gradually showed its original appearance, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, flowing and agile. A cinnabar mole loomed in the corner of the eye. She stroked the brow bone with her slender fingers, she said, "It's very lively outside today, but what's new?"

"When the master went out in the morning, he seemed to be saying that some lady in the palace was in mourning, and the guard of honor was bestowed by the Holy Majesty. At this moment, half of the people in the capital might have gone to watch the excitement."

Su Yan was in a trance for a moment, Su Zhizheng pushed the door open and came in, holding a large bunch of wild ginger flowers in her hands, and said enthusiastically, "Eldest sister, the market is very lively today, and the funeral of Concubine Rong is going on, let's go and see it together Look!"

Su Zhi has a clingy personality, and especially likes to pester Su Yan, but she has a cute appearance, making it hard for people to refuse.

But this time it was different. Su Yan took her flowers and said, "A funeral is not an auspicious event. Why should we go and see it? It's more interesting to take a walk in the flower garden and enjoy the flowers."

Now that her injury is recovering, she doesn't like to use that silk yarn in the mansion, and she is very sullen.

In late spring and early summer, the flowers were red and the leaves were green, and the fragrance was tangy. Su Zhi fluttered at the butterflies for a while, then lost her patience and went elsewhere.

Su Yan raised the corner of her skirt and sat in the flower pavilion under the corridor, half leaning against the flowers.

Just when the warm fragrance was intoxicating, a purple magnolia suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she looked up, and saw Ning Wenyuan's handsome face with a smile, his black hair was casually crowned behind his head, tied with a purple jade sash Wiping his forehead, wearing a dark coat with blue water patterns, ordinary sons and brothers like to wear folding fans, but he never leaves his body with a sword, which is more noble and elegant than the one holding the fan, and looks more heroic.

"Yan'er, it's really not easy to see you now, you're stuck in the room all day, can you teach me to look at the wound?"

Su Yan still sat lazily, did not pick flowers, just held her face together, and said, "Why don't you go to the palace for inspection, you have such a leisurely heart."

Ning Wenyuan leaned down, gently grasped her white wrist, and pulled her to the side, his face slightly moved closer, his eyes were like ink, and said, "The recovery is very good, the hospital is not free of salary."

Su Yan taught him to hold it, feeling a little uncomfortable, so she had to use her hands to break free from the shackles, but Ning Wenyuan smiled, and sat down opposite her with his robe lifted, shaking the purple magnolia plant back and forth, saying , "Speaking of which, this matter has never happened before."

"What made you sigh so much?" Su Yan had heard too many rumors about Concubine Rong, and now she was very calm.

"Concubine Rong died as a scapegoat, and the emperor just rehabilitated her, but the funeral was given as a noble concubine, which is really inconsistent with the etiquette system."

Su Yan hooked the corners of her lips, her eyes were misty, and she murmured softly, "If it were me, it would be the same. The imperial court has no shortage of envoys. On the one hand, we have eradicated the troubles in our confidantes, and on the other hand, we have won the affectionate love." A worthy name, how can you not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Ning Wenyuan suppressed his smile, "Such words must not be said indiscriminately, guessing the holy will, if it is spread, it will cause disaster."

"How did I forget, the half-faced taste of Furong is really uncomfortable." When Su Yan spoke, her expression was charming, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Ning Wenyuan couldn't bear it, so he softened his tone, Su Yan never answered, and only after he finished speaking, he said firmly, "Brother Wenyuan, can you take me somewhere?"

"Obey!" He held the sword and bowed it very gracefully, then handed the magnolia to her, looked up at her and smiled.Su Yan only pursed her lips to accept it, and said, "Don't you ask where you are going?"

"Even the mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will accompany you to the end." While Ning Wenyuan was speaking, his plain robes were swaying, and his expression was handsome.She got up and went to lead the horse to prepare the cart, Su Yan called him back, and said, "Brother Wenyuan, I just want you to drive the cart yourself, and you can't mention it to others, can you agree to me?"

This kind of thing is nothing more than a trivial matter to him, who is better at acting secretly than him?
Not long after, a single Maxuan cart slipped out through the back door of the Su Mansion. Ning Wenyuan was proficient in riding skills, so he was able to move smoothly without hindrance.

He leaned back, half leaned on the car door and said, "Yan'er, what are you doing in that kind of place?"

"I just want to take a look, why not?" Su Yan's light voice came from behind the curtain.

Ning Wenyuan really couldn't figure out what she was thinking, the carriage circled a few alleys and stopped slowly.

Su Yan got out of the car, staring at the two gilded characters of "Tang Mansion", fascinated, Ning Wenyuan turned his head and said, "Can you answer my question first?"

She nodded, still keeping her eyes on the plaque.

"Why do you want to visit the Tang Mansion?" Ning Wenyuan was puzzled.

Su Yan's eyes drooped slightly, and she said, "Concubine Rong and I have some old roots, it's just a remembrance."

The Tang Mansion was left in the cold, and it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The person who opened the door was a strange girl, so Su Yan asked, "Why isn't Uncle Zhang here?"

The little girl took a few glances at the two of them, the son had a jade face and a sword, and the girl was beautiful, so she said, "Miss, did you go to the wrong door?"

Su Yan stood quietly on the threshold, taking in the scenery in the garden, her eyes were full of depression, at this moment, a man in green robe came from the east, it was none other than her elder brother Tang Ziqi, "Who is here?" Outside?"

Su Yan looked at his haggard face, feeling sore in her heart, but she couldn't come forward to recognize him.The eldest brother is only [-] years old, but he has already passed away to this point, the dead are already dead, I am afraid that the people left behind will suffer the most.

"I have some old friends with Concubine Rong, and now I can only go to the door for a small sacrifice to express my condolences. If it is inconvenient, I hope Master Tang will tell you."

"My Tang family is no longer what it used to be. It is a consolation for the girl to come. Yan'er's room is the third door behind the flower garden. Go ahead." Tang Ziqi sighed softly, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, without further words.

"What does he mean by that?" Ning Wenyuan couldn't help being suspicious when he heard him call Dao Yan'er.

Su Yan stopped in front of her former residence, and said after a long time, "Concubine Rong's boudoir name is Yan'er."

The carriages and horses never stopped, and when Ning Wenyuan saw her coming out of the Tang residence, he was uncharacteristically silent, but he couldn't figure out when she had friendship with Concubine Rong.

He had no choice but to persuade, "The Tang family has been exonerated, and Tang Ziqi's transfer to the governor of Huizhou is not a bad thing."

Suddenly there was a clear and clear laughter in the car, Su Yan said, "I just hope that the Tang family will never return to Beijing!"

When they arrived at Su's residence, it was almost dusk.

Ning Wenyuan turned his head back, but saw Su Yan standing beside the lacquered pillar outside the west gate, beckoning Ting Niaona, in the embers of the setting sun, smiling at him, "Brother Wenyuan, do you think the emperor's love for Concubine Rong can be justified?" How many points?"

"Three points of favor, seven points of power." Ning Wenyuan answered simply. He didn't have a deep impression of Concubine Rong, but it was just a few acquaintances. He never had a good impression of deep palace concubines. Those were just pampered by the emperor. It's just a canary, never a close friend.

However, based on his many years of experience in serving the imperial court, he knows that the emperor's favor is power first.

"If I compare with Concubine Rong, what should I do?" Su Yan's smile deepened, her eyes were moist and bright.

Ning Wenyuan felt more and more uneasy, and answered with a frown, "How could Yan'er have such thoughts, you have never had anything to do with her."

Su Yan didn't give up, and asked, "I just want to know, can I match her?"

"In terms of beauty, you are much younger and more beautiful than her, but how can the emperor's favor be so simple?" Ning Wenyuan squeezed her shoulders and asked forcefully, "Yan'er, will you be saved into the palace?" thinking?"

Su Yan, however, withdrew gracefully, spreading lightly like a butterfly's wings, turned around and walked into the room, only turning her head and said, "I'm just asking, who can decide what will happen in the future?"
