sick man

Although Wei Chengfeng's father, Wei Zhan, looks talented and has the style of a general, but after all, he is only a bodyguard and his family background is also very ordinary, so he is naturally not worthy of the daughter of a member.Yuanwai must not be happy to promise such an ordinary person the jewel in his palm.He rejected the marriage proposals of so many well-matched officials and eunuchs, not because his daughter didn't like it.It is the best choice for such a beautiful and talented woman to be sent to the palace to marry the emperor and become a supporter of the family.

It's a pity that Yuan Wai thought well, but his daughter didn't want to be at his mercy.Knowing that her father was going to send her to the palace, although Mrs. Wei didn't resist on the surface, she had already started planning with Wei Zhan in private.After thinking about it, the best thing is just the elopement scheme used by the predecessors.Even if she is captured by Yuanwai, Mrs. Wei's reputation will be ruined, and Yuanwai will never dare to think of sending her to the palace again.

After finalizing the plan, Mrs. Wei stayed in her boudoir honestly for a few days, not even going out of the room every day, only playing the piano and doing embroidery.Yuanwai thought she had figured it out, and then thought about keeping her daughter in the room, so that she would not get sick from boredom, and she would not look energetic, so she might suffer a loss if she was sent to the palace for draft.So the control over Mrs. Wei was slightly relaxed.

What Mrs. Wei and Wei Zhan were waiting for was a moment of relaxation after a high level of vigilance.

It was night, taking advantage of the calm weather, Wei Zhan sneaked into Yuanwai's mansion and eloped with Mrs. Wei secretly.

In order not to be discovered, the two ran all the way to the depths of the mountain forest. After going through many obstacles, they managed to get rid of the people sent by the outsiders.

Unfortunately, no matter how perfect the plan is, there are always loopholes.

Although Mrs. Wei and Wei Zhan successfully got rid of the pursuers, they didn't expect to lose their way in the deep winter forest.The snow under the feet is deep and thick, and it is very difficult to walk. If you don't pay attention, you will fall down.There are dead branches covered with ice edges all around, and the roar of wild beasts can be heard from time to time. It seems that in the next second, a giant beast with a bloody mouth will appear from behind.To make matters worse, the clothes they were wearing were not enough to withstand the severe cold deep in the forest, and they shivered after staying for a while.

Finally, he couldn't move anymore, so Wei Zhan took Mrs. Wei to find a huge boulder against the wind and sat down. The two leaned close to the rising fire, and fell asleep without realizing it.

It was early morning when I woke up.Wei Zhan has practiced martial arts all year round, but he can withstand the cold, but Mrs. Wei's body is fragile, and she immediately developed a fever.

Lost and sick, and hadn't eaten or drank yet, Mrs. Wei thought she would never be able to get out again.With tears in his eyes, he tugged at Wei Zhan, asking him to promise himself that he would live a good life.Of course Wei Zhan refused to agree, picked her up and began to look for the way in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect road. When the two of them were almost unable to hold on, they accidentally walked into a dry forest and met a woodcutter who came into the mountain to cut firewood.

That woodcutter is Fang Yanqing's father, Fang Wu.

After that, things will be logical.

Fang Wu took Wei Zhan and Mrs. Wei back to his home on the hillside. He lit a fire and boiled soup. At that time, Fang Wu's wife, who was more than seven months pregnant, also supported her waist to help.

The simplicity and kindness of Fang Wu and his wife made Mrs. Wei and Wei Zhan feel deeply in their hearts.Mrs. Wei even became a sister with Fang Wu's wife, and affectionately called her Fang's sister-in-law.

Most women have the desire to be mothers, and Mrs. Wei is no exception.So when she touched Fang Wu's wife's belly and felt the fetal movement of the little life inside, she was both pleasantly surprised and envious.

"Sister, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

"I hope it's a girl. Boys are too skinny, girls are so nice, well-behaved and obedient." The sister-in-law of the Fang family patted her belly contentedly, her face full of pride and joy of becoming a mother soon.

"If it's really a girl, how about being my daughter-in-law in the future?" Mrs. Wei finished speaking shyly, fearing that Fang's sister-in-law might misunderstand, she quickly explained,

"Wei Zhan and I haven't gotten married yet, I'm just... just so happy!"

Fang's sister-in-law took her hand and said with a smile, "We are only villagers in the mountains, how can we climb high? If my sister doesn't dislike it, I will be very happy if I can name the child in my womb."

"Is it Yanqing?"

Mrs. Wei was sitting in front of the door thinking hard, when a group of birds flew by in the sky, she had an inspiration.

"Yanqing, Yanqing, a woman as light and beautiful as a wild goose, what do you think, sister?"

Fang Wu's wife read it twice, and thought the name was nice, so she happily wrote it down.

Mrs. Wei and Wei Zhan lived in Fang Wu's house for more than a month, and when Yuanwai finally arrived with a group of entourages, they were already married in Fang's simple cabin.

Uncooked rice and cooked rice, even if the members do not recognize it, it will not work.

Mrs. Wei successfully married Wei Zhan. Although the staff members were not reconciled, but after all, Mrs. Wei only had one daughter, so they still helped Wei Zhan a lot in the open and in the dark.

Wei Zhan is gradually being used in the army, and Mrs. Wei is also pregnant.

But she didn't forget about Fang Wu and his wife, counting the date when Fang's sister-in-law was going to give birth, she sent a letter to ask her.

"It's a pity..." Mrs. Wei's tears rolled down her eyes when she said this, "Sister-in-law of the Fang family did give birth to a baby girl, but it's a pity that she left after landing... Otherwise, she would be your wife Cheng Feng .”

Wei Chengfeng thought it was funny when he heard it,

"So Mother transferred the engagement to Shu'er?"

Mrs. Wei nodded seriously and said,

"I didn't expect that after so many years, I could see the Fang family's sister-in-law again. At that time, the Fang family's sister-in-law lost her child and was overly sad. Brother Fang took her back to her hometown to relax. In the end, the two of them settled there. We I lost contact. I was worried that they would encounter difficulties in the future, so I asked someone to bring them a jade pendant. If they need help, they can come to us with the jade pendant."

"Xiao Siyi, who was guarding the gate this morning, came in with this jade pendant. I knew they were here. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. It turns out that Brother Fang has died of illness, and the sister-in-law of the Fang family gave birth to a son seven years ago. She I still used the name I chose and called him Yanqing. There was a famine in their hometown, and she had no choice but to bring Yanqing to join me. Make a baby kiss with Shu'er. Cheng Feng, you won't blame your mother, will you?"

Wei Chengfeng was noncommittal, only saying,

"It's an interesting kid."

At that time, Wei Chengfeng had no doubts about this story.

But now, he knew what was wrong.

The mother searched hard and was able to marry the father. With the father's dull and calm temperament, how could he rashly take the mother and flee?Still making a private decision with her in the deep mountains?

If you use deep affection, everything that is unreasonable can be explained.

But once the emotion is removed, the story becomes a clumsy lie.

"Yes, I lied to you."

The truth has been buried for so many years, and she has been greedy for this beautiful and false story for so long, she is actually very tired.

"There is no elopement, no near-death in the deep forest, and there is no such thing as Fang Wu and his wife. All of these are just stories I made up."

Back then, she was praised for her talent and beauty, and many people came to her door to propose marriage, but her old father doted on her very much, and she could do whatever she wanted, especially in matters of marriage. .

But for that person's last wish, she made up such a lie.

If this story were true, it would be great... Even if he and him die together, it's better than everything goes smoothly, but he has someone else in his heart.

Even more ridiculous, she asked for it.

Therefore, you can't blame others, let alone Wei Zhan.

"Mom, why did you lie to me?"

Wei Chengfeng is very curious, what is the purpose of Mrs. Wei to go out of her way to fabricate a false life experience for Yanqing?

Mrs. Wei's eyes became farther away, and it was obvious that she fell into memories again.

"I didn't lie to you, but to deceive that person."

"Who?"

Who is it that needs the wife of General Zhenyuan, who had a solid foundation in Zhuoyang City at that time, to do so.

"My lord today."

Mrs. Wei usurped the beads and said slowly.

"Cheng Feng, all these years, you only know that your father loves a man, but you don't know who this man is?"

Wei Chengfeng frowned and shook his head, saying,

"At that time, I only hated my father's absurdity. I really didn't think about what kind of person he fell in love with."

"His name is Su Hongrui."

Mrs. Wei said softly. After many years, when she mentioned this taboo name, she still lowered her voice habitually.

Wei Chengfeng was shocked.

This name is no stranger to him.Or it can be said that in Zhuoyang City, no one would not know Su Hongrui.After all, in the history of Yunze, Su Hongrui was the only queen who was executed for the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, and was thrown into a mass grave along with her newborn child after her death.

"He is the person your father admires, and Yanqing...is his child."

"Yanqing... is Su Hongrui's son?"

Wei Chengfeng was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"When Su Hongrui was accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy, the whole Zhuoyang City was shocked. Thinking of the fact that he has made great achievements in defending the country and defending the border, and that he is a general after a country, and that he colluded with the Xiyi Kingdom in an attempt to usurp the throne, everyone was furious. I can't stop, I wish I could kill them first and then hurry up."

"Only your father, no matter how others persuade him, still doesn't believe that Su Hongrui would do such a thing, and insists on saving him."

"Your father has indeed exhausted all means and begged everyone who can help. But Su Hongrui's crime was confirmed by the emperor himself. As soon as the imperial decree of punishment was issued, Su Hongrui was secretly placed under house arrest. Except for the emperor, no one else No one knows where he is. Your father searched secretly for several months before he finally found a clue, but at that time Su Hongrui was about to give birth, and it was impossible to rescue him without alarming anyone."

"Your father didn't succeed. Just when he was racking his brains to find a way to save him, someone sent a message from the palace that Su Hongrui was dead. He had taken poison as soon as the child fell to the ground."

"When your father heard the news, he stood still for a while, and then he vomited blood and fell down straight."

When Mrs. Wei said this, she still couldn't help but her eyes were red, that man who only frowned even when digging for meat and arrows, was so vulnerable sometimes.

"As soon as he fell down, he never got up again. Even if someone sneaked into the mansion with a baby in his arms and came to look for him, saying that it was Su Hongrui's orphan, he didn't get better."

It was as if when that person died, he died with him.

"The child whose face has not been wiped clean is Yanqing."

A smile appeared on the sad face of Mrs. Wei,

"Your father forced himself to sit up, and hugged him no matter what he said."

"I never knew that he also has such a gentle and clumsy side, as if what he holds in his arms is not a child, but a rare treasure."
