Ma'am, do you dare to answer?
Chapter 31 Stories
Xiao Shitou was caught and revealed himself, and under the misleading of Lian Yan, he revealed a lot of secrets, knowing that he had no way out in Zicui Mountain, seeing that Lian Yan had written the confession that he was about to sign, he thought Lian Yan He was planning to send him to the government for disposal, and suddenly there was a little hope. After all, he also worked for Ouyang Lu. Ouyang Lu is a member of the court, so he will not abandon him so easily. With a glimmer of hope, they cooperated very well.
Lian Yan didn't expect to get Xiao Shitou's testimony so easily. Looking at the red fingerprints on her hands, she sighed. After thinking about the previous trial methods, threats and intimidation, soft and hard, it didn't come in handy at all.
Can't help but feel a little lost.
After putting away the confession in his hand, Lian Yan dragged the small stone out, opened the door and threw away Xia Qingshan who had been waiting outside, Xia Qingshan nodded towards Lian Yan, regardless of the small stone's surprise and unwillingness Looking at the expression, he handed over the person to his subordinates and took him away.
Qin Yun stood beside Xia Qingshan, watched Xiao Shitou struggling and yelling, and glanced at Lian Yan suspiciously: "He thought you were going to take him away?"
Lian Yan nodded: "It doesn't matter, he thought that I would deal with him according to the law after taking the confession, and he is still waiting for Ouyang Lu to rescue him."
"Unexpectedly, you didn't have such an idea at all." Qin Yun continued: "The bastard is too simple to think! How dare you betray my father and Ge Cuishan, and you really think you can leave properly? The idea is beautiful !"
Lian Yan said: "This is a matter in your cottage, so naturally it should be left to you to handle. I collected Ouyang Lu's criminal evidence. Although he can barely be counted as a witness, he is not bad."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Qingshan again, and let the two of them move in. After sitting down, he offered to pour a cup of tea for Xia Qingshan: "Mr. Xia made a joke, I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to Mr. Xia. Mr. Wanwangxia has a lot of adults, don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Lian Yan held the teacup, handed it to Xia Qingshan, and drank it in one gulp. Xia Qingshan smiled, took the teacup and drank it happily: "Lian, general, you are welcome, the general is right, but Qingshan should thank you You are right."
"Mr. Xia can just call me Zijin, this time Zijin is presumptuous." Lian Yan said politely.
Watching the two of them playing charades, Qin Yun was at a loss.Subconsciously looking at Lian Yan, looking for the answer, Xia Qingshan, who was holding a teacup at the side, was a little relieved to see Qin Yun's appearance. The decision made by the head of the family was really good that day, and this Lian Yan is indeed a trustworthy person.
Seeing that Qin Yun was still in a daze, Lian Yan hurriedly explained: "Do you still remember the day when I found out that Master Qin's medicine was poisoned?"
Qin Yun nodded, and looked like Xia Qingshan and said belatedly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xia, I didn't tell you."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Qingshan stroked the beard on his chin that didn't exist in relief, and said, "Yun'er did the right thing. The fewer people who know about the situation at that time, the safer it will be."
"But in fact, Mr. Xia and Master Qin have long known that Xiao Shitou has a different heart, right?" Lian Yan continued: "When I interrogated Xiao Shitou, he told me that the entire Zicui Mountain is the old department of Master Qin. Then there is no such thing as the so-called laxity of people in the mountains. The so-called traitor is just a lice on the bald man's head, which can be seen at a glance. Even when there is a change in the small stone, Mr. Xia has already sent someone to monitor it. Mr. Xia must have arranged for Yun'er to see those uncles and aunts who frequently come and go in the kitchen? Poor him, he thought he was doing it very covertly, but in fact, you and Master Qin are seeing everything. I Right?"
Xia Qingshan nodded approvingly: "That's right. Little Shitou has contact with Ouyang Lu, and the boss and I have known about it for a long time. The reason why we haven't moved him is because we want to lend him some false news to Ouyang Lu."
"News about the treasure?" Qin Yun blinked and asked, "I've never heard of any news about the treasure? So Uncle Xia already knew about the little stone? And Miss Guan, he was the one who spread the word." of?"
"Miss Guan's matter was an accident." Xia Qingshan sighed: "The person died on the mountain that day. I wanted to use the hands of the little stone to lure the real culprit, but I didn't expect the real culprit to be Ouyang Lu!"
"Then Mr. Qin shouldn't have been poisoned?" Lian Yan asked puzzledly: "But I see that his complexion is getting worse every day, and he doesn't seem to be pretending." If you talk about the little stone, Qin Da The head of the family already knew about it, so why? "
"No." Xia Qingshan sighed: "We were careless. We didn't expect that he would have the courage to poison him. , It's already too late. The head of the family was injured in the early years and has not healed, and this time it is even worse, so he is lingering in the sick bed, and it is precisely because of this that I need your assistant, Zijin."
It was only then that Qin Yun fully realized that the messy rumors and gossips in the cottage before must have been deliberately released to confuse Ouyang Lu, but the doubts in her heart became heavier.
She got up, looked at Xia Qingshan, and asked word by word: "Xiao Shitou said, what is the matter with me not being my father's daughter? Who is my father? Whose daughter am I? Uncle Xia, I I hope you don't lie to me! If everyone in this cottage knows the truth, then I should know the truth too."
Looking at Qin Yun's aggressive questioning eyes, Lian Yan also looked at Xia Qingshan, not only Qin Yun, she also wanted to know the answer: "Is it related to my family? What is the origin of that half jade pendant?"
Xia Qingshan was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, but I don't know much. Not only me, but everyone in the village doesn't know Yun'er's life experience."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yun frowned: "I, really am not my father's daughter!"
"When the head of the family arrived in Canglan, I asked you who was growing up holding the doll, but no one knew the origin of the doll." Xia Qingshan sighed: "The head of the family is alone, but when he left the capital, he brought a baby with him. Child, how can everyone not be suspicious? But suspicion is nothing but suspicion. This matter was suppressed by the head of the family, and no one else was allowed to say a word, let alone criticize indiscriminately. From then on, you are his daughter! It stands to reason that this matter I was suppressed, but when I mentioned it occasionally, the doubts in the big guy's heart did not disappear with time, and after a long time, I didn't have too many scruples, Yamanaka Ben There are no outsiders, and it is common to speak freely."
"Don't you care about the master Qin?" Lian Yan frowned. According to normal thinking, Qin Jian would never let this kind of talk spread again, but according to Xia Qingshan, there is not much to say except for the strict order at the beginning. Besides, Qin Jian didn't seem to have any other orders.
If you want to hide it deliberately, you should hide it to the end. What does Qin Jian mean by this?
"I reminded the head of the family, but he didn't seem to care." Xia Qingshan looked at Qin Yun, and there was a flash of reluctance in his eyes: "The head of the house only told the eldest lady not to teach her to find out before she is of age. Let it happen."
"What is Suiyuan?" Qin Yun couldn't catch his breath, wanted to bend the corner of his mouth to smile but couldn't, and finally shrugged and said, "I'll ask him!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yun opened the door and ran away.Lian Yan shouted to chase after her, but was stopped by Xia Qingshan: "Zijin, the boss has foreseen this day, let Yun'er go, the boss will explain clearly to her."
"Explain what?" Lian Yan looked up at Xia Qingshan: "Regardless of whether Yun'er is the daughter of the head of the Qin family or not, the relationship between them will not change in the slightest. Yun'er just wants to get an answer, and I want to Be with her."
After finishing speaking, he left Xia Qingshan and ran out after Qin Yun.
Because Qin Jian was worried about Xiao Shitou, she had been reluctantly holding her head up, waiting for Xia Qingshan's news, but after waiting for a long time, Qin Yun, who had red eyes before Xia Qingshan, came.
"What's wrong with Yun'er?" Qin Jian looked at Qin Yun with mottled tears on her aggrieved face, propped herself up, and called her over: "Don't cry, daddy knows about the little stone, it's a There's no need to feel sad for an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."
Qin Jian didn't doubt that there was him, and only thought that Qin Yun was sad about Xiao Shitou's matter. After all, they grew up together, and they were a special existence among Qin Yun's poor contemporaries. Cuishan.Qin Jian has experienced many storms, and she was afraid that Qin Yun would not be able to bear this kind of betrayal, but she still couldn't bear it.
Listening to Qin Jian's words, Qin Yun's suppressed emotions suddenly lost control, and she threw herself into Qin Jian's arms and cried bitterly.
Seeing that she was crying so sad, Qin Jian had no choice but to comfort her softly, but the more she comforted her, the more Qin Yun cried, and finally roared almost hysterically, like a little leopard, with a hoarse voice, lonely and helpless.
Lian Yan was guarding the original door, and when she heard Qin Yun's crying inside, she pushed the door open by mistake. Seeing Qin Yun throwing herself into Qin Jian's arms and sobbing, and the dense pain in her heart, she The hand holding the door frame subconsciously exerted force, and his nails snapped on the door frame, but Lian Yan didn't notice it at all.
Qin Jian watched Lian Yan come in, and patted Qin Yun on the back: "Don't cry, you see, be careful that the master laughs at you, how old are you, why are you still crying with your arms around you? Come on, don't cry gone."
Qin Yun raised her head sobbing, looked at Qin Jian for a long time before saying, "Little Shitou told me that I am not Daddy's biological daughter."
Qin Jian's movements froze, and she glanced at Lian Yan subconsciously. Lian Yan frowned and stepped forward, silently standing behind Qin Yun, silently supporting her.
"Uncle Xia said that everyone on the mountain knows it, but Dad only keeps it from me." Qin Yun raised her head with wet tears on her face: "He also said that before, I would never let me know, but in the future, just follow the fate. What is resignation? Does dad think that Yun'er doesn't need dad anymore when she grows up?"
Qin Jian didn't expect Qin Yun to know about it at this time, and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.He stroked the top of Qin Yun's head, and took another look at Lian Yan. Lian Yan ignored his eyes and didn't move at all, like the air, but stood there firmly.
Qin Jian felt a slight sweet smell in her throat, and wanted to suppress it, but it intensified, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing.Qin Yun panicked, and hurriedly got up to bring water to Qin Jian's throat. She stood up, and Qin Jian put down the hand covering her mouth, and wiped the corners of her mouth calmly.
The tinge of red in the palm did not escape Lian Yan's eyes. When she was startled, she saw Qin Jian shaking her head at her. Lian Yan turned to look at Qin Yun, and saw her hurriedly pouring water from the kettle, and hurriedly took out the water from her body. A handkerchief was handed over to Qin Jian.
Qin Jian took a handkerchief to wipe off the blood, and then nodded to Lian Yan, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, Lian Yan looked back at Qin Yun who came in a hurry with water, his eyes were full of obscurity.
The blood color was dim, Qin Jian was afraid that his days would be numbered.
"Father, drink water." Qin Yun held the teacup with anxious eyes.
Qin Jian took the teacup, put it in her hand, and then took Qin Yun's hand: "Yun'er sit here."
Qin Yun lowered her head, sat beside Qin Jian, and said in a low voice, "Whether I am my father's daughter or not, I will respect my father. You are my own father, and my father can't let me go! No one can talk nonsense!" Small, but determined: "My surname is Qin, my name is Qin Yun, and I am Qin Jian's daughter!"
"Silly girl." Qin Jian sighed, looking at Lian Yan with some hesitation.
He planned to invite Lian Yan to go up the mountain to entrust Qin Yun to her. Before that, Qin Yun's life experience must not be hidden from Lian Yan, but this matter is of great importance, even related to Qin Yun's life Dangerous, under the circumstances that safety cannot be guaranteed, he does not want Qin Yun to know his life experience, the only way to treat her is for safety.
"Right? You are my father, and no one can change it!" Qin Yun grabbed Qin Jian's sleeve: "You won't drive me away either!"
"How could it be, silly girl." Looking at the little girl's stubborn eyes, Qin Jian choked up a little: "You have called me father for 18 years, and he is my own daughter."
"Yeah!" Qin Yun wiped away the tears on her face and smiled again: "Father will get better soon, we will still be the same as before."
"Yun'er." Qin Jian looked at Qin Yun and said, "We are still the same as before. It's just that I want you to understand that it's not that your biological parents don't love you, they just entrusted you to me as a last resort. I was entrusted by my parents to bring you to Canglan and raise you up. I didn’t want to tell you before because I couldn’t because I was afraid it would affect your growth. But I also don’t want you to misunderstand your biological parents. They all regard you as a treasure. I hope to take care of you to grow up, but I don't have a chance."
Qin Yun looked at Qin Jian, bit her lip for a long time before hesitantly asked: "They are not alive anymore, right?"
"Your mother is no longer alive." Qin Jian looked a little sad: "As for your father, he is in a high position and is hated by his enemies. It is not safe for you to stay by his side. For your safety, your mother entrusted you to me before she died. , take good care of you."
"That's all I can say." Qin Jian looked a little tired: "Yun'er, you have grown up, and your father has lived up to your mother's entrustment."
"Yes." Qin Yun agreed softly.In fact, her thoughts are very simple, as long as Qin Jian has the same thoughts as hers, they are still father and daughter, and they are still the closest family, and she is not excluded, that is enough.
A dramatic farce was resolved so calmly, Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian's uneasy expression, and patted Qin Yun on the shoulder: "Yun'er, let's go back Let's let the head of the family rest and take care of his body."
Qin Yun got up obediently, supported Lian Yan's arm, and was about to leave together, when Qin Jian said in a low voice: "Yun'er, you go back first, I will give Zijin a few words."
Qin Yun stopped, as if she didn't want to leave, Qin Jian added: "It's about Ouyang Lu, I'll tell Zijin a few words."
"Yun'er, you go back first. Look at the face of a cat, go back and wash up, and then take a good rest." Lian Yan coaxed: "I was pretending to be something, I didn't sleep well at night, and I cried like this After one round, the eyes are swollen to what extent, go back and rest, don't let the head worry."
"Well, take care of yourself." Qin Jian echoed: "If you are sick again, Dad will be so distressed, go back quickly."
Qin Yun hesitated and left. Before leaving, she took a second look at Lian Yan. Lian Yan pretended not to see her, ignoring her earnest gaze, and cruelly turned her eyes away.
She could tell that Qin Jian left her with something else to say, and this other thing was something Qin Yun didn't want to hear, something related to Qin Yun!
"Zijin, when do you plan to go down the mountain?" Qin Jian saw that the shadow at the door was still there, and glanced at Lian Yan. Lian Yan turned to look at the shadow and knew that it was Qin Yun who hadn't left. Yuemo wanted to eavesdrop, so she replied "There's nothing wrong with the cottage now, just tell Yun'er that I will go down the mountain as soon as possible, and Ouyang Lu's affairs cannot be delayed."
"En." Qin Jian nodded: "The secret room you mentioned last time is probably Ouyang Lu's den of thieves."
"I've already sent someone to the capital to deliver a letter, and this time I'm going back just to delay Ouyang Lu's time." Seeing the shadow at the door disappear, Lian Yan asked bluntly: "Uncle Qin keeps me, but there is someone else thing?"
"Zijin, you can see that my days are numbered." Qin Jian took out the blood-stained handkerchief and continued, "If you don't come, I intended to take Yun'er away from Canglan to find Her dear father, but you see, I can't go anymore, I want to entrust her to you."
"Yun'er's biological father is in the capital?" Lian Yan frowned, thought through it once, and suddenly frowned, staggered back a step, and said in disbelief: "Who the hell are you!"
"You guessed it, right?" Qin Jian smiled weakly: "She has blamed me for asking her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and fu since she was a child. Time to teach her."
Lian Yan clenched his fist, released it and clenched it again, staring into Qin Jian's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "You say she is, how can you prove it?"
"I can't prove it." Qin Jian said with a calm face: "For the safety of Yun'er, Concubine Liang destroyed the brand of princess on her body, gave to death the servants who accompanied her that day, and then committed suicide. Only I took her to escape. here."
"If what you said is true, Qin Jian, do you know that kidnapping the royal princess is a capital offense!" Lian Yan's eyes showed a cold light: "Don't say it's you, even if you cover Cuishan with your whole body, you can't afford this crime!"
Princess Zhaoyang, whom Emperor Jiajin had been looking for for 18 years, was hidden in a den of bandits. No wonder there was no news for so many years.
"This is not something you talk about casually!" Lian Yan hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty has been looking for the little princess for 18 years, why are you talking about it now?"
"Because I can't say it!" Qin Jian coughed twice: "This is a royal secret. Concubine Liang made the decision to leave the palace with Yun'er as a last resort. I'm a rough man."
"What do you mean?" Lian Yan said displeasedly: "Since you want to say it, then make it clear. If it's not clear, how can I believe you?"
Qin Jian smiled wryly and said, "I am dying, why should I lie to you? If it weren't for Yun'er's background, why would I keep you?"
"It starts with Concubine Liang's life experience." Qin Jian pointed to the chair beside her and said, "Sit down, the story is too long, so take your time."
Qin Jian's words gave Lian Yan no reason to doubt. He knew too much, and it was impossible for an outsider to have such a deep feeling. Royal secret.
From the very beginning when she heard about the disappearance of Princess Zhaoyang, Lian Yan felt that there was some unknown story in it. Otherwise, how could the emperor's favorite concubine go out and be robbed easily? The concubine's concubine Liang not only didn't worry about the whereabouts of the princess, but chose to hang herself!
In Lian Yan's view, this was a manifestation of suicide in fear of crime, but no one dared to mention it in front of Emperor Jiajin, and Emperor Jiajin seemed unaware of everything, except for the whereabouts of the princess.
"Concubine Liang's real name is Liangyin." Qin Jian smiled a little: "This is the name she changed for herself, the same name as Zhang Qin."
"'Liangyin' is not a qin, but a mother?" Lian Yan was taken aback by this conclusion: "No wonder it is said that the qin is her mother's relic."
"I love Chengjia's musical instrument the most in my life. When I heard Pu An's posthumous work 'Liangyin', she changed her name to Liangyin." Qin Jian slowly said: "She followed the footsteps of 'Liangyin' to the capital, But fell into a boundless vortex."
If we say this story is quite common, it is just a little girl who loves music and the owner of the musical instrument, and follows her all the way, but unexpectedly, the musical instrument is a masterpiece of the royal family, and that person is a generation of monarchs.
"She fell in love with His Majesty?" Lian Yan asked hesitantly: "But what does this have to do with the princess leaving the palace?"
"It's a big relationship." Qin Jian closed her eyes: "If she is an ordinary person, you will love her if you love her. There will be no complaints or regrets, and no one can do anything to her. But, she is not an ordinary person. She is Lan Xu's favorite. A little princess, a willful little princess who left home and wandered alone in pursuit of her dream love."
"Lan Xu's princess?" Lian Yan asked incredulously, "Does Your Majesty know?"
Lanxu and Chengjia have been hostile countries since ancient times. Lanxu has repeatedly invaded the border areas of Chengjia.
In this way, the concubine Liang is the princess of the enemy country!
"She wants to hide it, but how can she hide it?" Qin Jian seems to have seen the sad-faced girl in the past. She fell in love, but how would she choose between love and country?
"The matter was quickly revealed, and Lan Xu sent an envoy to take the princess back to the country."
"How does His Majesty choose?"
"At that time Concubine Liang already had a little princess, how could she be willing to leave? The envoy brought an order that if Concubine Liang didn't return, she would bring the little princess back, otherwise Chengjia would have to cut off ten cities in exchange!"
Exchange of ten cities?This is something Lian Yan has never heard of. As far as she knows, there was indeed a war between Chengjia and Lanxu 18 years ago. Chengjia was defeated and ten cities were given to Lanxu. Since then, there has been no war between the two countries. .
"Emperor Jiajin agreed." Qin Jian said with some admiration: "He defeated ten cities in one battle, replaced Concubine Liang and the little princess from Lan Xu completely, and saved his beloved."
"Then what happened afterwards?" Lian Yan was even more puzzled.
How could the princess leave the palace?How did Concubine Liang hang herself?
"She is Lan Xu's princess, so it's not easy to leave? Not only is Lan Xu dissatisfied with winning the city, but she also uses the little princess as a hostage to Concubine Liang to seek more benefits for Lan Xu." Qin Jian sighed: "It's such a big palace. Not only the safety of the mother and the child cannot be preserved, but it has become a huge cage. People in the palace are unpredictable and there are many factions. Not only does she not have the protection of the mother family, but she is forced into a desperate situation."
"Your Majesty..." Lian Yan took back what he said, and in such a crisis-ridden environment, His Majesty can protect you for a while, but there are always negligence, the king of a country.You can't take your wife and daughter with you at any time to take care of them.
"Emperor Chengjia thought that his mother and daughter were safe in exchange for his ten cities, but he ignored the dangers in the harem." Qin Jian rubbed his brows.
Recalling these past events always made him feel powerless. He watched the once bright girl turn slightly sad, and finally panicked. She was driven to a desperate situation, a desperate situation with no way out.
"The reason why she made up her mind to hide the little princess is because Lan Xu sent an envoy again, but this time she secretly found Concubine Liang without telling Jiajin Emperor, and wanted to take the little princess back to Lan Xu, otherwise she would launch an attack and let The two countries are at war." Qin Jian explained: "In those years, disasters occurred frequently in Chengjia, and the treasury was empty. Not to mention wars, even the palace was tight. How could it stand the invasion of war? Let’s face it, Chengjia will be defeated, and ten cities cannot solve it at that time.”
Lian Yan frowned, and her emotions were mobilized. She is a soldier, and she is very sensitive to military affairs. As Qin Jian said, if this battle breaks out, Cheng Jia won't be able to afford it. Levy a large amount of taxes, when the time comes, the people will have nothing to do with their lives, and Emperor Jiajin will also bear the name of a faint king. If he loses, the country will only be destroyed!
"Concubine Liang agreed?" Lian Yan asked in a trembling voice: "So there is the so-called offering incense outside the palace, in order to take the little princess away from the palace?"
"But why?" Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian: "Why are you here?" In this series of actions, what role did Qin Jian play?
"Agreed." Qin Jian nodded: "What happened later was similar to what you guessed. She agreed and brought the little princess out, but she didn't expect that the person Lan Xu sent to meet me would be me."
"Are you from Lan Xu?" Lian Yan remembered the spinning dagger in Qin Yun's hand: "Lan Xu sent you to meet the little princess, and you brought her here? Why? Whose person are you?"
"I was originally the commander of Lanxu's Chinese army, and I was ordered to welcome the princess back to China. My task is to bring her mother and daughter back to Lanxu together." Qin Jian's eyes flashed a trace of struggle, as if the scene of that day was flashing before his eyes again. a reappearance.
"She is holding such a big milk doll." Qin Jian made a gesture: "It's just that big, the baby's small hands were stuffed into her mouth, and she smiled at me with crooked eyebrows, she just knelt in front of me and begged I."
Qin Jian coughed as he spoke, and the severe coughing made his already ashen face a little more rosy, his fingers kept trembling, and it took him a long time to continue: "For a lifetime, she just begged like that Me once! She is a proud princess, even if she left Lan Xu in a fit of anger that day, she never looked back, but she just knelt in front of me and begged me to let the child go, let her go."
"What can I do?" Qin Jian raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Seeing Qin Jian's appearance like this, Lian Yan sighed silently in his heart, Concubine Liang made a difficult choice for love and for her daughter, why not Yu Qin Jian?
"You and the empress..."
"Oh!" Qin Jian chuckled: "I have a marriage contract with her, but she likes Chengjia's music and freedom, and she said she would come to Chengjia to have a look, and she didn't want to regret it later. She came, but never again. When I went back, I waited and waited with an empty marriage contract, and finally she became someone else's bride."
"What happened later?" Lian Yan asked, "You agreed?"
Qin Jian nodded: "I promise that she will raise the little princess and protect her identity. I will never let people from Lan Xu find out, and I will not let anyone hurt the little princess. After the little princess becomes an adult, I will send her back Go to the capital and return to Emperor Jiajin's side. And she returned to the palace alone, and chose the most decisive way to tell Lan Xu that she would not give in! She protected her daughter, and no one would want to hit her daughter's attention! "
"So, you destroyed all the traces on Princess Zhaoyang?" Lian Yan was a little embarrassed: "Then how can I recognize that Qin Yun is the little princess?"
Qin Jian smiled: "I said before, she looks like her mother, no one else can recognize her, but Emperor Jiajin will definitely recognize her!"
"The scar on Yun'er's body is actually the brand of the princess, isn't it?" Lian Yan thought of the huge scar, and felt a little distressed: "You are too cruel, she was only a little older at that time, how could she bear such a big scar? ?”
"What can I do if I can't bear it?" Qin Jian recalled how the baby was crying, and sighed: "That is the unique mark of the Royal Princess, and it cannot be easily removed. If you don't use this method, there is no other way. .If it is not forced, who would have the heart to leave such a big scar on such a small doll?"
Lian Yan swept his eyes and asked quickly: "What about the engagement! What's going on? How could Princess Zhaoyang have an engagement with me?" Very upset!
"An oolong." Qin Jian smiled, but there was a little carelessness in the smile.
"That night, she hugged Yun'er and told me interesting stories about Yun'er." Qin Jian knew that Concubine Liang at that time was just trying to soften his attitude so that he could live together as the two of them.
Concubine Liang talked a lot, most of which were related to the little princess, from the sweetness of pregnancy to the expectations during childbirth, to the baby's soft hands in the end. Jane shared.
At that time, Qin Jian squeezed the little baby's soft little hand, and heard the soft voice of the man said: "When I was pregnant with her, I felt like a little princess. It happened that day Mrs. Lian brought the little son to wait for her. The general placed the bid, and the little boy carelessly lost the jade pendant and I just picked it up, so I made trouble with him, and promised the princess to be his wife in the future, who would have thought that the little boy touched my stomach, and nodded his agreement , and gave me the jade pendant, saying it was a dowry gift for my younger sister. The young man was only so tall, but he said it quite seriously. Only then did I know what kind of young master it is, it is the eldest lady of the Lian family, Mrs. Lian deliberately teased me that I was young, and did not tell the truth. After returning home, I found a skilled craftsman to divide the jade pendant into two, saying that it was for the two children. Maybe we can be sisters in the future. Do you think it's funny?"
"Do you think it's funny?" Qin Jian shook her head and smiled, "An oolong, but this jade pendant can also be regarded as a proof of Yun'er's identity, but it's a pity that Mrs. Lian is no longer here."
Not funny at all!The corners of Lian Yan's mouth twitched. She knew about the marriage contract at a young age, so she couldn't joke about it. Now that she said it, Qin Yun is her fiancée, and no one can change the fact!
When returning from Qin Jian's place, the sky had already darkened, and when Lian Yan went to the small building, he still felt that his mind was chaotic, a bit chaotic, but seemed very clear.
She heard Qin Jian tell a story, which was too long for her to digest, but everything was so clear, as if it should have been like this from the beginning.
The faint sound of the piano, from far to near, Lian Yan stopped two steps and looked at Qin Yun who was playing the piano in the small building. On the ground, under the moonlight, you can clearly see the expression on Qin Yun's face, a little dazed and sad, but when you look closely, there seems to be nothing.
She just sat there like that, quietly playing the "cool tone", her fingering skillful like a fallen fairy, at that moment, Lian Yan understood why Qin Jian would almost stubbornly ask Qin Jian to learn these things, She was originally a princess of the royal family, and what was inherited in her body was the blood of a princess. Sitting upright like that is her demeanor.
Lian Yan walked into the small building, walked around "Liang Yin" and put her arms around Qin Yun, pressing her hand. After playing the piano sound, she didn't move, resting her chin on Qin Yun's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "It's so late, why are you still practicing the piano? Are you waiting for me?"
Qin Yun moved uncomfortably, trying to break free from Lian Yan, but she still didn't move. She hummed twice and said, "What are you talking about so late? Did my father say anything else to you?" What Ouyang Lu, as for now?She just sat here and waited for so long, the eighteen generations of Ouyang Lu's ancestors had finished what they had to say.
"Hehe, what do you think you said?" Lian Yan chuckled twice: "A lot, let me not bully you, tell me to take good care of you, and don't let you think so much. Yun'er, you are very happy, Qin Jian is a good father."
"Yes." Qin Yun nodded: "I know. What else?"
"Also..." Lian Yan was very hesitant, this girl was obviously not easy to deal with, she was as calm as water, and she looked like asking a teacher about her crimes, most likely she was defrauding her.
Lian Yan held back a smile, pretended to think about it, and said, "Say, let me supervise your piano practice."
"Zheng!" Qin Yun slapped the strings, broke away from Lian Yan and stood up, angrily said: "Don't talk about falling down, I'm going to bed!"
"Hey, hello." Lian Yan hurriedly looked at Qin Yun's palm, and said, "This piano is precious, be careful."
Qin Yun was so angry that she shook off Lian Yan's hand and went upstairs, humming angrily as if she didn't want to talk to Lian Yan at all. Seeing that she was finally not what she was before, Lian Yan felt a little relieved. He caught up with Qin Yun step by step, laughed and said, "Why did you run away? Hey, didn't I tell you, that 'Liangyin' has a lot of background."
"What is it? Isn't it my mother's relic? I already knew it." Qin Yun continued to go upstairs indifferently, but her pace was no longer in a hurry.
"Oh, you know?" Lian Yan pretended: "But you must not know that it is a token of love, right?"
"Got it!" Qin Yun turned her head and glared at Lian Yan impatiently: "Pu An and the little princess, they already knew it, and it was my father who told you! It's okay, I'm going to sleep!"
As he said that, he was about to shut Lian Yan out of the door. Lian Yan supported the door quickly with his eyes and hands, and said flatteringly: "Finally, finally, this piano is the object of love between your mother and your father, and your biological father. The most precious thing in her life Love tone, this 'cool tone' is her favorite, but the qin belongs to your father, and your father exchanged an unhanded down guqin for a peerless beauty, making a romantic relationship."
Qin Yun's hand stopped, Lian Yan took the opportunity to enter the door, and she closed the door resentfully: "Who let you in?"
Lian Yan said with some disappointment on his face: "I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qin Yun reacted for a while before realizing that Lian Yan's matter on the mountain had been settled, and she was about to go down the mountain. The feeling of emptiness in her heart came out aimlessly again, and she said out of nothing: "Then Why don't you go back and rest quickly and keep your spirits up."
"I don't worry about you. Yun'er, I don't worry about you." Lian Yan sighed, "You are the one I worry about the most."
"There's nothing to worry about." Qin Yun looked at Lian Yan holding her hand, stiffened and didn't move: "My father, didn't I tell you anything else?
Lian Yan didn't expect to get Xiao Shitou's testimony so easily. Looking at the red fingerprints on her hands, she sighed. After thinking about the previous trial methods, threats and intimidation, soft and hard, it didn't come in handy at all.
Can't help but feel a little lost.
After putting away the confession in his hand, Lian Yan dragged the small stone out, opened the door and threw away Xia Qingshan who had been waiting outside, Xia Qingshan nodded towards Lian Yan, regardless of the small stone's surprise and unwillingness Looking at the expression, he handed over the person to his subordinates and took him away.
Qin Yun stood beside Xia Qingshan, watched Xiao Shitou struggling and yelling, and glanced at Lian Yan suspiciously: "He thought you were going to take him away?"
Lian Yan nodded: "It doesn't matter, he thought that I would deal with him according to the law after taking the confession, and he is still waiting for Ouyang Lu to rescue him."
"Unexpectedly, you didn't have such an idea at all." Qin Yun continued: "The bastard is too simple to think! How dare you betray my father and Ge Cuishan, and you really think you can leave properly? The idea is beautiful !"
Lian Yan said: "This is a matter in your cottage, so naturally it should be left to you to handle. I collected Ouyang Lu's criminal evidence. Although he can barely be counted as a witness, he is not bad."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Qingshan again, and let the two of them move in. After sitting down, he offered to pour a cup of tea for Xia Qingshan: "Mr. Xia made a joke, I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to Mr. Xia. Mr. Wanwangxia has a lot of adults, don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Lian Yan held the teacup, handed it to Xia Qingshan, and drank it in one gulp. Xia Qingshan smiled, took the teacup and drank it happily: "Lian, general, you are welcome, the general is right, but Qingshan should thank you You are right."
"Mr. Xia can just call me Zijin, this time Zijin is presumptuous." Lian Yan said politely.
Watching the two of them playing charades, Qin Yun was at a loss.Subconsciously looking at Lian Yan, looking for the answer, Xia Qingshan, who was holding a teacup at the side, was a little relieved to see Qin Yun's appearance. The decision made by the head of the family was really good that day, and this Lian Yan is indeed a trustworthy person.
Seeing that Qin Yun was still in a daze, Lian Yan hurriedly explained: "Do you still remember the day when I found out that Master Qin's medicine was poisoned?"
Qin Yun nodded, and looked like Xia Qingshan and said belatedly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xia, I didn't tell you."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Qingshan stroked the beard on his chin that didn't exist in relief, and said, "Yun'er did the right thing. The fewer people who know about the situation at that time, the safer it will be."
"But in fact, Mr. Xia and Master Qin have long known that Xiao Shitou has a different heart, right?" Lian Yan continued: "When I interrogated Xiao Shitou, he told me that the entire Zicui Mountain is the old department of Master Qin. Then there is no such thing as the so-called laxity of people in the mountains. The so-called traitor is just a lice on the bald man's head, which can be seen at a glance. Even when there is a change in the small stone, Mr. Xia has already sent someone to monitor it. Mr. Xia must have arranged for Yun'er to see those uncles and aunts who frequently come and go in the kitchen? Poor him, he thought he was doing it very covertly, but in fact, you and Master Qin are seeing everything. I Right?"
Xia Qingshan nodded approvingly: "That's right. Little Shitou has contact with Ouyang Lu, and the boss and I have known about it for a long time. The reason why we haven't moved him is because we want to lend him some false news to Ouyang Lu."
"News about the treasure?" Qin Yun blinked and asked, "I've never heard of any news about the treasure? So Uncle Xia already knew about the little stone? And Miss Guan, he was the one who spread the word." of?"
"Miss Guan's matter was an accident." Xia Qingshan sighed: "The person died on the mountain that day. I wanted to use the hands of the little stone to lure the real culprit, but I didn't expect the real culprit to be Ouyang Lu!"
"Then Mr. Qin shouldn't have been poisoned?" Lian Yan asked puzzledly: "But I see that his complexion is getting worse every day, and he doesn't seem to be pretending." If you talk about the little stone, Qin Da The head of the family already knew about it, so why? "
"No." Xia Qingshan sighed: "We were careless. We didn't expect that he would have the courage to poison him. , It's already too late. The head of the family was injured in the early years and has not healed, and this time it is even worse, so he is lingering in the sick bed, and it is precisely because of this that I need your assistant, Zijin."
It was only then that Qin Yun fully realized that the messy rumors and gossips in the cottage before must have been deliberately released to confuse Ouyang Lu, but the doubts in her heart became heavier.
She got up, looked at Xia Qingshan, and asked word by word: "Xiao Shitou said, what is the matter with me not being my father's daughter? Who is my father? Whose daughter am I? Uncle Xia, I I hope you don't lie to me! If everyone in this cottage knows the truth, then I should know the truth too."
Looking at Qin Yun's aggressive questioning eyes, Lian Yan also looked at Xia Qingshan, not only Qin Yun, she also wanted to know the answer: "Is it related to my family? What is the origin of that half jade pendant?"
Xia Qingshan was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, but I don't know much. Not only me, but everyone in the village doesn't know Yun'er's life experience."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yun frowned: "I, really am not my father's daughter!"
"When the head of the family arrived in Canglan, I asked you who was growing up holding the doll, but no one knew the origin of the doll." Xia Qingshan sighed: "The head of the family is alone, but when he left the capital, he brought a baby with him. Child, how can everyone not be suspicious? But suspicion is nothing but suspicion. This matter was suppressed by the head of the family, and no one else was allowed to say a word, let alone criticize indiscriminately. From then on, you are his daughter! It stands to reason that this matter I was suppressed, but when I mentioned it occasionally, the doubts in the big guy's heart did not disappear with time, and after a long time, I didn't have too many scruples, Yamanaka Ben There are no outsiders, and it is common to speak freely."
"Don't you care about the master Qin?" Lian Yan frowned. According to normal thinking, Qin Jian would never let this kind of talk spread again, but according to Xia Qingshan, there is not much to say except for the strict order at the beginning. Besides, Qin Jian didn't seem to have any other orders.
If you want to hide it deliberately, you should hide it to the end. What does Qin Jian mean by this?
"I reminded the head of the family, but he didn't seem to care." Xia Qingshan looked at Qin Yun, and there was a flash of reluctance in his eyes: "The head of the house only told the eldest lady not to teach her to find out before she is of age. Let it happen."
"What is Suiyuan?" Qin Yun couldn't catch his breath, wanted to bend the corner of his mouth to smile but couldn't, and finally shrugged and said, "I'll ask him!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yun opened the door and ran away.Lian Yan shouted to chase after her, but was stopped by Xia Qingshan: "Zijin, the boss has foreseen this day, let Yun'er go, the boss will explain clearly to her."
"Explain what?" Lian Yan looked up at Xia Qingshan: "Regardless of whether Yun'er is the daughter of the head of the Qin family or not, the relationship between them will not change in the slightest. Yun'er just wants to get an answer, and I want to Be with her."
After finishing speaking, he left Xia Qingshan and ran out after Qin Yun.
Because Qin Jian was worried about Xiao Shitou, she had been reluctantly holding her head up, waiting for Xia Qingshan's news, but after waiting for a long time, Qin Yun, who had red eyes before Xia Qingshan, came.
"What's wrong with Yun'er?" Qin Jian looked at Qin Yun with mottled tears on her aggrieved face, propped herself up, and called her over: "Don't cry, daddy knows about the little stone, it's a There's no need to feel sad for an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."
Qin Jian didn't doubt that there was him, and only thought that Qin Yun was sad about Xiao Shitou's matter. After all, they grew up together, and they were a special existence among Qin Yun's poor contemporaries. Cuishan.Qin Jian has experienced many storms, and she was afraid that Qin Yun would not be able to bear this kind of betrayal, but she still couldn't bear it.
Listening to Qin Jian's words, Qin Yun's suppressed emotions suddenly lost control, and she threw herself into Qin Jian's arms and cried bitterly.
Seeing that she was crying so sad, Qin Jian had no choice but to comfort her softly, but the more she comforted her, the more Qin Yun cried, and finally roared almost hysterically, like a little leopard, with a hoarse voice, lonely and helpless.
Lian Yan was guarding the original door, and when she heard Qin Yun's crying inside, she pushed the door open by mistake. Seeing Qin Yun throwing herself into Qin Jian's arms and sobbing, and the dense pain in her heart, she The hand holding the door frame subconsciously exerted force, and his nails snapped on the door frame, but Lian Yan didn't notice it at all.
Qin Jian watched Lian Yan come in, and patted Qin Yun on the back: "Don't cry, you see, be careful that the master laughs at you, how old are you, why are you still crying with your arms around you? Come on, don't cry gone."
Qin Yun raised her head sobbing, looked at Qin Jian for a long time before saying, "Little Shitou told me that I am not Daddy's biological daughter."
Qin Jian's movements froze, and she glanced at Lian Yan subconsciously. Lian Yan frowned and stepped forward, silently standing behind Qin Yun, silently supporting her.
"Uncle Xia said that everyone on the mountain knows it, but Dad only keeps it from me." Qin Yun raised her head with wet tears on her face: "He also said that before, I would never let me know, but in the future, just follow the fate. What is resignation? Does dad think that Yun'er doesn't need dad anymore when she grows up?"
Qin Jian didn't expect Qin Yun to know about it at this time, and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.He stroked the top of Qin Yun's head, and took another look at Lian Yan. Lian Yan ignored his eyes and didn't move at all, like the air, but stood there firmly.
Qin Jian felt a slight sweet smell in her throat, and wanted to suppress it, but it intensified, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing.Qin Yun panicked, and hurriedly got up to bring water to Qin Jian's throat. She stood up, and Qin Jian put down the hand covering her mouth, and wiped the corners of her mouth calmly.
The tinge of red in the palm did not escape Lian Yan's eyes. When she was startled, she saw Qin Jian shaking her head at her. Lian Yan turned to look at Qin Yun, and saw her hurriedly pouring water from the kettle, and hurriedly took out the water from her body. A handkerchief was handed over to Qin Jian.
Qin Jian took a handkerchief to wipe off the blood, and then nodded to Lian Yan, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, Lian Yan looked back at Qin Yun who came in a hurry with water, his eyes were full of obscurity.
The blood color was dim, Qin Jian was afraid that his days would be numbered.
"Father, drink water." Qin Yun held the teacup with anxious eyes.
Qin Jian took the teacup, put it in her hand, and then took Qin Yun's hand: "Yun'er sit here."
Qin Yun lowered her head, sat beside Qin Jian, and said in a low voice, "Whether I am my father's daughter or not, I will respect my father. You are my own father, and my father can't let me go! No one can talk nonsense!" Small, but determined: "My surname is Qin, my name is Qin Yun, and I am Qin Jian's daughter!"
"Silly girl." Qin Jian sighed, looking at Lian Yan with some hesitation.
He planned to invite Lian Yan to go up the mountain to entrust Qin Yun to her. Before that, Qin Yun's life experience must not be hidden from Lian Yan, but this matter is of great importance, even related to Qin Yun's life Dangerous, under the circumstances that safety cannot be guaranteed, he does not want Qin Yun to know his life experience, the only way to treat her is for safety.
"Right? You are my father, and no one can change it!" Qin Yun grabbed Qin Jian's sleeve: "You won't drive me away either!"
"How could it be, silly girl." Looking at the little girl's stubborn eyes, Qin Jian choked up a little: "You have called me father for 18 years, and he is my own daughter."
"Yeah!" Qin Yun wiped away the tears on her face and smiled again: "Father will get better soon, we will still be the same as before."
"Yun'er." Qin Jian looked at Qin Yun and said, "We are still the same as before. It's just that I want you to understand that it's not that your biological parents don't love you, they just entrusted you to me as a last resort. I was entrusted by my parents to bring you to Canglan and raise you up. I didn’t want to tell you before because I couldn’t because I was afraid it would affect your growth. But I also don’t want you to misunderstand your biological parents. They all regard you as a treasure. I hope to take care of you to grow up, but I don't have a chance."
Qin Yun looked at Qin Jian, bit her lip for a long time before hesitantly asked: "They are not alive anymore, right?"
"Your mother is no longer alive." Qin Jian looked a little sad: "As for your father, he is in a high position and is hated by his enemies. It is not safe for you to stay by his side. For your safety, your mother entrusted you to me before she died. , take good care of you."
"That's all I can say." Qin Jian looked a little tired: "Yun'er, you have grown up, and your father has lived up to your mother's entrustment."
"Yes." Qin Yun agreed softly.In fact, her thoughts are very simple, as long as Qin Jian has the same thoughts as hers, they are still father and daughter, and they are still the closest family, and she is not excluded, that is enough.
A dramatic farce was resolved so calmly, Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian's uneasy expression, and patted Qin Yun on the shoulder: "Yun'er, let's go back Let's let the head of the family rest and take care of his body."
Qin Yun got up obediently, supported Lian Yan's arm, and was about to leave together, when Qin Jian said in a low voice: "Yun'er, you go back first, I will give Zijin a few words."
Qin Yun stopped, as if she didn't want to leave, Qin Jian added: "It's about Ouyang Lu, I'll tell Zijin a few words."
"Yun'er, you go back first. Look at the face of a cat, go back and wash up, and then take a good rest." Lian Yan coaxed: "I was pretending to be something, I didn't sleep well at night, and I cried like this After one round, the eyes are swollen to what extent, go back and rest, don't let the head worry."
"Well, take care of yourself." Qin Jian echoed: "If you are sick again, Dad will be so distressed, go back quickly."
Qin Yun hesitated and left. Before leaving, she took a second look at Lian Yan. Lian Yan pretended not to see her, ignoring her earnest gaze, and cruelly turned her eyes away.
She could tell that Qin Jian left her with something else to say, and this other thing was something Qin Yun didn't want to hear, something related to Qin Yun!
"Zijin, when do you plan to go down the mountain?" Qin Jian saw that the shadow at the door was still there, and glanced at Lian Yan. Lian Yan turned to look at the shadow and knew that it was Qin Yun who hadn't left. Yuemo wanted to eavesdrop, so she replied "There's nothing wrong with the cottage now, just tell Yun'er that I will go down the mountain as soon as possible, and Ouyang Lu's affairs cannot be delayed."
"En." Qin Jian nodded: "The secret room you mentioned last time is probably Ouyang Lu's den of thieves."
"I've already sent someone to the capital to deliver a letter, and this time I'm going back just to delay Ouyang Lu's time." Seeing the shadow at the door disappear, Lian Yan asked bluntly: "Uncle Qin keeps me, but there is someone else thing?"
"Zijin, you can see that my days are numbered." Qin Jian took out the blood-stained handkerchief and continued, "If you don't come, I intended to take Yun'er away from Canglan to find Her dear father, but you see, I can't go anymore, I want to entrust her to you."
"Yun'er's biological father is in the capital?" Lian Yan frowned, thought through it once, and suddenly frowned, staggered back a step, and said in disbelief: "Who the hell are you!"
"You guessed it, right?" Qin Jian smiled weakly: "She has blamed me for asking her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and fu since she was a child. Time to teach her."
Lian Yan clenched his fist, released it and clenched it again, staring into Qin Jian's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "You say she is, how can you prove it?"
"I can't prove it." Qin Jian said with a calm face: "For the safety of Yun'er, Concubine Liang destroyed the brand of princess on her body, gave to death the servants who accompanied her that day, and then committed suicide. Only I took her to escape. here."
"If what you said is true, Qin Jian, do you know that kidnapping the royal princess is a capital offense!" Lian Yan's eyes showed a cold light: "Don't say it's you, even if you cover Cuishan with your whole body, you can't afford this crime!"
Princess Zhaoyang, whom Emperor Jiajin had been looking for for 18 years, was hidden in a den of bandits. No wonder there was no news for so many years.
"This is not something you talk about casually!" Lian Yan hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty has been looking for the little princess for 18 years, why are you talking about it now?"
"Because I can't say it!" Qin Jian coughed twice: "This is a royal secret. Concubine Liang made the decision to leave the palace with Yun'er as a last resort. I'm a rough man."
"What do you mean?" Lian Yan said displeasedly: "Since you want to say it, then make it clear. If it's not clear, how can I believe you?"
Qin Jian smiled wryly and said, "I am dying, why should I lie to you? If it weren't for Yun'er's background, why would I keep you?"
"It starts with Concubine Liang's life experience." Qin Jian pointed to the chair beside her and said, "Sit down, the story is too long, so take your time."
Qin Jian's words gave Lian Yan no reason to doubt. He knew too much, and it was impossible for an outsider to have such a deep feeling. Royal secret.
From the very beginning when she heard about the disappearance of Princess Zhaoyang, Lian Yan felt that there was some unknown story in it. Otherwise, how could the emperor's favorite concubine go out and be robbed easily? The concubine's concubine Liang not only didn't worry about the whereabouts of the princess, but chose to hang herself!
In Lian Yan's view, this was a manifestation of suicide in fear of crime, but no one dared to mention it in front of Emperor Jiajin, and Emperor Jiajin seemed unaware of everything, except for the whereabouts of the princess.
"Concubine Liang's real name is Liangyin." Qin Jian smiled a little: "This is the name she changed for herself, the same name as Zhang Qin."
"'Liangyin' is not a qin, but a mother?" Lian Yan was taken aback by this conclusion: "No wonder it is said that the qin is her mother's relic."
"I love Chengjia's musical instrument the most in my life. When I heard Pu An's posthumous work 'Liangyin', she changed her name to Liangyin." Qin Jian slowly said: "She followed the footsteps of 'Liangyin' to the capital, But fell into a boundless vortex."
If we say this story is quite common, it is just a little girl who loves music and the owner of the musical instrument, and follows her all the way, but unexpectedly, the musical instrument is a masterpiece of the royal family, and that person is a generation of monarchs.
"She fell in love with His Majesty?" Lian Yan asked hesitantly: "But what does this have to do with the princess leaving the palace?"
"It's a big relationship." Qin Jian closed her eyes: "If she is an ordinary person, you will love her if you love her. There will be no complaints or regrets, and no one can do anything to her. But, she is not an ordinary person. She is Lan Xu's favorite. A little princess, a willful little princess who left home and wandered alone in pursuit of her dream love."
"Lan Xu's princess?" Lian Yan asked incredulously, "Does Your Majesty know?"
Lanxu and Chengjia have been hostile countries since ancient times. Lanxu has repeatedly invaded the border areas of Chengjia.
In this way, the concubine Liang is the princess of the enemy country!
"She wants to hide it, but how can she hide it?" Qin Jian seems to have seen the sad-faced girl in the past. She fell in love, but how would she choose between love and country?
"The matter was quickly revealed, and Lan Xu sent an envoy to take the princess back to the country."
"How does His Majesty choose?"
"At that time Concubine Liang already had a little princess, how could she be willing to leave? The envoy brought an order that if Concubine Liang didn't return, she would bring the little princess back, otherwise Chengjia would have to cut off ten cities in exchange!"
Exchange of ten cities?This is something Lian Yan has never heard of. As far as she knows, there was indeed a war between Chengjia and Lanxu 18 years ago. Chengjia was defeated and ten cities were given to Lanxu. Since then, there has been no war between the two countries. .
"Emperor Jiajin agreed." Qin Jian said with some admiration: "He defeated ten cities in one battle, replaced Concubine Liang and the little princess from Lan Xu completely, and saved his beloved."
"Then what happened afterwards?" Lian Yan was even more puzzled.
How could the princess leave the palace?How did Concubine Liang hang herself?
"She is Lan Xu's princess, so it's not easy to leave? Not only is Lan Xu dissatisfied with winning the city, but she also uses the little princess as a hostage to Concubine Liang to seek more benefits for Lan Xu." Qin Jian sighed: "It's such a big palace. Not only the safety of the mother and the child cannot be preserved, but it has become a huge cage. People in the palace are unpredictable and there are many factions. Not only does she not have the protection of the mother family, but she is forced into a desperate situation."
"Your Majesty..." Lian Yan took back what he said, and in such a crisis-ridden environment, His Majesty can protect you for a while, but there are always negligence, the king of a country.You can't take your wife and daughter with you at any time to take care of them.
"Emperor Chengjia thought that his mother and daughter were safe in exchange for his ten cities, but he ignored the dangers in the harem." Qin Jian rubbed his brows.
Recalling these past events always made him feel powerless. He watched the once bright girl turn slightly sad, and finally panicked. She was driven to a desperate situation, a desperate situation with no way out.
"The reason why she made up her mind to hide the little princess is because Lan Xu sent an envoy again, but this time she secretly found Concubine Liang without telling Jiajin Emperor, and wanted to take the little princess back to Lan Xu, otherwise she would launch an attack and let The two countries are at war." Qin Jian explained: "In those years, disasters occurred frequently in Chengjia, and the treasury was empty. Not to mention wars, even the palace was tight. How could it stand the invasion of war? Let’s face it, Chengjia will be defeated, and ten cities cannot solve it at that time.”
Lian Yan frowned, and her emotions were mobilized. She is a soldier, and she is very sensitive to military affairs. As Qin Jian said, if this battle breaks out, Cheng Jia won't be able to afford it. Levy a large amount of taxes, when the time comes, the people will have nothing to do with their lives, and Emperor Jiajin will also bear the name of a faint king. If he loses, the country will only be destroyed!
"Concubine Liang agreed?" Lian Yan asked in a trembling voice: "So there is the so-called offering incense outside the palace, in order to take the little princess away from the palace?"
"But why?" Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian: "Why are you here?" In this series of actions, what role did Qin Jian play?
"Agreed." Qin Jian nodded: "What happened later was similar to what you guessed. She agreed and brought the little princess out, but she didn't expect that the person Lan Xu sent to meet me would be me."
"Are you from Lan Xu?" Lian Yan remembered the spinning dagger in Qin Yun's hand: "Lan Xu sent you to meet the little princess, and you brought her here? Why? Whose person are you?"
"I was originally the commander of Lanxu's Chinese army, and I was ordered to welcome the princess back to China. My task is to bring her mother and daughter back to Lanxu together." Qin Jian's eyes flashed a trace of struggle, as if the scene of that day was flashing before his eyes again. a reappearance.
"She is holding such a big milk doll." Qin Jian made a gesture: "It's just that big, the baby's small hands were stuffed into her mouth, and she smiled at me with crooked eyebrows, she just knelt in front of me and begged I."
Qin Jian coughed as he spoke, and the severe coughing made his already ashen face a little more rosy, his fingers kept trembling, and it took him a long time to continue: "For a lifetime, she just begged like that Me once! She is a proud princess, even if she left Lan Xu in a fit of anger that day, she never looked back, but she just knelt in front of me and begged me to let the child go, let her go."
"What can I do?" Qin Jian raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Seeing Qin Jian's appearance like this, Lian Yan sighed silently in his heart, Concubine Liang made a difficult choice for love and for her daughter, why not Yu Qin Jian?
"You and the empress..."
"Oh!" Qin Jian chuckled: "I have a marriage contract with her, but she likes Chengjia's music and freedom, and she said she would come to Chengjia to have a look, and she didn't want to regret it later. She came, but never again. When I went back, I waited and waited with an empty marriage contract, and finally she became someone else's bride."
"What happened later?" Lian Yan asked, "You agreed?"
Qin Jian nodded: "I promise that she will raise the little princess and protect her identity. I will never let people from Lan Xu find out, and I will not let anyone hurt the little princess. After the little princess becomes an adult, I will send her back Go to the capital and return to Emperor Jiajin's side. And she returned to the palace alone, and chose the most decisive way to tell Lan Xu that she would not give in! She protected her daughter, and no one would want to hit her daughter's attention! "
"So, you destroyed all the traces on Princess Zhaoyang?" Lian Yan was a little embarrassed: "Then how can I recognize that Qin Yun is the little princess?"
Qin Jian smiled: "I said before, she looks like her mother, no one else can recognize her, but Emperor Jiajin will definitely recognize her!"
"The scar on Yun'er's body is actually the brand of the princess, isn't it?" Lian Yan thought of the huge scar, and felt a little distressed: "You are too cruel, she was only a little older at that time, how could she bear such a big scar? ?”
"What can I do if I can't bear it?" Qin Jian recalled how the baby was crying, and sighed: "That is the unique mark of the Royal Princess, and it cannot be easily removed. If you don't use this method, there is no other way. .If it is not forced, who would have the heart to leave such a big scar on such a small doll?"
Lian Yan swept his eyes and asked quickly: "What about the engagement! What's going on? How could Princess Zhaoyang have an engagement with me?" Very upset!
"An oolong." Qin Jian smiled, but there was a little carelessness in the smile.
"That night, she hugged Yun'er and told me interesting stories about Yun'er." Qin Jian knew that Concubine Liang at that time was just trying to soften his attitude so that he could live together as the two of them.
Concubine Liang talked a lot, most of which were related to the little princess, from the sweetness of pregnancy to the expectations during childbirth, to the baby's soft hands in the end. Jane shared.
At that time, Qin Jian squeezed the little baby's soft little hand, and heard the soft voice of the man said: "When I was pregnant with her, I felt like a little princess. It happened that day Mrs. Lian brought the little son to wait for her. The general placed the bid, and the little boy carelessly lost the jade pendant and I just picked it up, so I made trouble with him, and promised the princess to be his wife in the future, who would have thought that the little boy touched my stomach, and nodded his agreement , and gave me the jade pendant, saying it was a dowry gift for my younger sister. The young man was only so tall, but he said it quite seriously. Only then did I know what kind of young master it is, it is the eldest lady of the Lian family, Mrs. Lian deliberately teased me that I was young, and did not tell the truth. After returning home, I found a skilled craftsman to divide the jade pendant into two, saying that it was for the two children. Maybe we can be sisters in the future. Do you think it's funny?"
"Do you think it's funny?" Qin Jian shook her head and smiled, "An oolong, but this jade pendant can also be regarded as a proof of Yun'er's identity, but it's a pity that Mrs. Lian is no longer here."
Not funny at all!The corners of Lian Yan's mouth twitched. She knew about the marriage contract at a young age, so she couldn't joke about it. Now that she said it, Qin Yun is her fiancée, and no one can change the fact!
When returning from Qin Jian's place, the sky had already darkened, and when Lian Yan went to the small building, he still felt that his mind was chaotic, a bit chaotic, but seemed very clear.
She heard Qin Jian tell a story, which was too long for her to digest, but everything was so clear, as if it should have been like this from the beginning.
The faint sound of the piano, from far to near, Lian Yan stopped two steps and looked at Qin Yun who was playing the piano in the small building. On the ground, under the moonlight, you can clearly see the expression on Qin Yun's face, a little dazed and sad, but when you look closely, there seems to be nothing.
She just sat there like that, quietly playing the "cool tone", her fingering skillful like a fallen fairy, at that moment, Lian Yan understood why Qin Jian would almost stubbornly ask Qin Jian to learn these things, She was originally a princess of the royal family, and what was inherited in her body was the blood of a princess. Sitting upright like that is her demeanor.
Lian Yan walked into the small building, walked around "Liang Yin" and put her arms around Qin Yun, pressing her hand. After playing the piano sound, she didn't move, resting her chin on Qin Yun's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "It's so late, why are you still practicing the piano? Are you waiting for me?"
Qin Yun moved uncomfortably, trying to break free from Lian Yan, but she still didn't move. She hummed twice and said, "What are you talking about so late? Did my father say anything else to you?" What Ouyang Lu, as for now?She just sat here and waited for so long, the eighteen generations of Ouyang Lu's ancestors had finished what they had to say.
"Hehe, what do you think you said?" Lian Yan chuckled twice: "A lot, let me not bully you, tell me to take good care of you, and don't let you think so much. Yun'er, you are very happy, Qin Jian is a good father."
"Yes." Qin Yun nodded: "I know. What else?"
"Also..." Lian Yan was very hesitant, this girl was obviously not easy to deal with, she was as calm as water, and she looked like asking a teacher about her crimes, most likely she was defrauding her.
Lian Yan held back a smile, pretended to think about it, and said, "Say, let me supervise your piano practice."
"Zheng!" Qin Yun slapped the strings, broke away from Lian Yan and stood up, angrily said: "Don't talk about falling down, I'm going to bed!"
"Hey, hello." Lian Yan hurriedly looked at Qin Yun's palm, and said, "This piano is precious, be careful."
Qin Yun was so angry that she shook off Lian Yan's hand and went upstairs, humming angrily as if she didn't want to talk to Lian Yan at all. Seeing that she was finally not what she was before, Lian Yan felt a little relieved. He caught up with Qin Yun step by step, laughed and said, "Why did you run away? Hey, didn't I tell you, that 'Liangyin' has a lot of background."
"What is it? Isn't it my mother's relic? I already knew it." Qin Yun continued to go upstairs indifferently, but her pace was no longer in a hurry.
"Oh, you know?" Lian Yan pretended: "But you must not know that it is a token of love, right?"
"Got it!" Qin Yun turned her head and glared at Lian Yan impatiently: "Pu An and the little princess, they already knew it, and it was my father who told you! It's okay, I'm going to sleep!"
As he said that, he was about to shut Lian Yan out of the door. Lian Yan supported the door quickly with his eyes and hands, and said flatteringly: "Finally, finally, this piano is the object of love between your mother and your father, and your biological father. The most precious thing in her life Love tone, this 'cool tone' is her favorite, but the qin belongs to your father, and your father exchanged an unhanded down guqin for a peerless beauty, making a romantic relationship."
Qin Yun's hand stopped, Lian Yan took the opportunity to enter the door, and she closed the door resentfully: "Who let you in?"
Lian Yan said with some disappointment on his face: "I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qin Yun reacted for a while before realizing that Lian Yan's matter on the mountain had been settled, and she was about to go down the mountain. The feeling of emptiness in her heart came out aimlessly again, and she said out of nothing: "Then Why don't you go back and rest quickly and keep your spirits up."
"I don't worry about you. Yun'er, I don't worry about you." Lian Yan sighed, "You are the one I worry about the most."
"There's nothing to worry about." Qin Yun looked at Lian Yan holding her hand, stiffened and didn't move: "My father, didn't I tell you anything else?
