After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 195 Power
After Shen Guiyi entered the palace, the contact between Ye Qinghuai and Tao Yuan became more frequent.

Ye Qinghuai gave her a token to enter and leave the palace.

After all, compared to Li Baoquan, the general manager of the inner court, Shen Guixi, who has a low status and has been trained as an Eagle Guard, is obviously more suitable for this job of transmitting intelligence.

What's more, Tao Yuan said that Shen Guixi's training course as an Eagle Guard was not over yet, and she still needed to go to Tao Yuan to continue taking classes and supplement materials on hidden weapons.

"Tao Yuan cares about you. Is he so responsible for every Eagle Guard?" Ye Qinghuai looked at the information in his hand and asked Shen Guiyi.

"It is said that all the Eagle Guards in Beijing have been trained by him, and they all need to pass his assessment before they can become official Eagle Guards and receive pay." Shen Guiyi replied.

"Oh? Were you tested before entering the palace? What were the tests?" Ye Qinghuai was in a good mood today. When chatting with her, she had always been curious about the existence of the Eagle Guard, and she was even more curious about Tao Yuan himself.

"Everyone's assessment content is different. Some have to compete with Commander Tao, some have to follow or assassinate, and I heard that there are also crossword puzzles."

Ye Qinghuai was interested. She put down the letter in her hand, looked at Shen Guiyi and asked, "What is the content of your assessment?"

Shen Guiyi seemed to have thought of something, lowered his eyes and replied: "...escort Gu Haiwang back to Beijing safely."

Ye Qinghuai was a little surprised.

Tao Yuan always looked kind and friendly in front of her, and rarely had a tough attitude, so Ye Qinghuai's impression of him always remained as a reasonable and good leader.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai's frown, Shen Guiyi immediately said: "Because at that time, this slave wanted to join the Eagle Guard. Commander Tao had warned the slave at that time that joining the Eagle Guard meant saying goodbye to his past identity. If it was for If I kill Gu Haiwang to avenge myself, the Eagle Guard will not be able to take me in. Therefore, the commander uses this matter as a test to see how determined I am to put the past behind me."

Ye Qinghuai remembered that Tao Yuan once told her that there should be an unwritten rule, which is——

Don't ask about the past, don't be afraid of the future.

However, if Shen Guixi didn't join the Eagle Guard to humiliate her enemies, Ye Qinghuai couldn't figure out why she joined the Eagle Guard.

"So, why do you insist on joining the Eagle Guard?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Shen Guixi's bright eyes dimmed. She thought for a moment and replied: "When I was imprisoned in the courtyard of the Gu Mansion, I thought I was going to die. At that time, I was thinking why such bad luck would happen. Find me. My ancestors were porters, and they worked diligently to pull goods and do manual labor for generations. It wasn’t until my great-grandfather had some savings that he opened a shop and gradually expanded it into a cloth shop. Later, it was passed down to my father. , my father has also managed the ancestral business dutifully and has never done any evil. I have never read any books, so I can’t say that I have much ability, but I have never done anything particularly wicked. Why is such a thing so common? What happened to me? Is it really because of the sins I committed in my previous life? What about Gu Haiwang? Why can he hurt others at will? Is it because of the good deeds accumulated by his ancestors? "

"Later, I was rescued by the Eagle Guards and met His Majesty. I thought God had opened his eyes and was going to send retribution on Gu Haiwang. However, although he was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, he was soon dismissed because of Beidi's invasion of the country. Instead, he became a general and led troops on expeditions."

Ye Qinghuai's heart skipped a beat.At that time, she put Gu Haiwang's matter on hold temporarily in order to deal with Du Jing. Later, when the war broke out, she reused Gu Haiwang again because of the pressure from the court and her previous life experience.She originally wanted to use the war to shake the Gu family's foundation in the capital, but she never thought about how Wang Siyun, who had been hurt by Gu Haiwang, would feel about this matter.

A trace of guilt arose in her heart.

But not regretful.

Because even if she did it over again, she would still make the same choice she did then.

Compared with a little girl's injustice and justice, resisting foreign enemies and overthrowing the Gu family are far more important. "At that time, I had recovered a bit and was just able to go to work. When I heard the news about Gu Haiwang's promotion, I felt completely despaired and threw myself into the lake." Ye Qinghuai looked startled and wanted to say something, but Shen Guixi continued. He continued, "The Eagle Guards rescued me, but I wanted to die and refused to eat or drink. Later, Commander Tao came in person."

"I still remember that day he sat by my bedside with a bowl of chicken soup and told me that if I didn't drink it, there were many ways he could drink the bowl of chicken soup from my mouth, but the taste would definitely not be as good as if I drank it myself. It felt so good. I was so angry that I asked him why he didn't let me die."

"What did he say?" Ye Qinghuai asked. She could imagine that Tao Yuan must have been a demon-like existence in Wang Siyun's eyes at that time.

"He said that because I took a lot of his best medicinal materials and wasted his manpower, he would suffer a big loss if I died like this."

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but want to laugh.

This indeed sounds like what Tao Yuan would say.

If Wang Siyun died under the protection of the Eagle Guard, it would not only be a shame to the Eagle Guard, but Ye Qinghuai would also be unable to explain it to him.

Shen Guiyi continued: "At that time, I wanted to die. When he said that, I realized that there was no hope of death, so I became angry and cried. I asked him why he decided my life and death, and why they could make such decisions at will. Other people’s lives.”

The scene of that day seemed to appear in front of Shen Guiyi's eyes.

Tao Yuan sat in front of her, holding a bowl of boiling chicken soup. He lowered his head expressionlessly and stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon.

She will never forget what Tao Yuan said to her that day.

"When you drink chicken soup, do you think about what the chicken will think? Does it want to be killed, will it be resentful, does it feel unfair? Do you care about this? What do you think of this chicken being stewed into chicken soup? Where’s the chicken?”

Tao Yuan paused for a while, and then continued with Wang Siyun's confused and shocked expression: "Gu Haiwang also views you in the same way. You are not the first to him, and you will not be the last. What he cares about is top of mind. It's just about whether the chicken soup tastes good or not. He won't feel guilty because he drank a bowl of chicken soup, and no one will punish him because he drank a bowl of chicken soup."

Wang Siyun suddenly understood what Tao Yuan was talking about.She retorted angrily: "But I am a person, just like him! Not fish on the chopping board!"

"This is your opinion, not Gu Haiwang's. He has the ability to impose his opinion on you, but you cannot impose your opinion on him." Tao Yuan's voice was still so calm.

Wang Siyun was unable to refute.She had to admit that Tao Yuan was right.

This is also the reason why she seeks death.

She felt it was unfair, but she was powerless to change it.

It was an angry but hopeless feeling of powerlessness.

Two lines of clear tears slowly rolled down the girl's face. She murmured and asked, "So, what I have heard and learned since childhood, that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, and that you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue in life, are all lies." Human things?”

Tao Yuan seemed to be softened by her crying.He said: "No, I believe in the reincarnation of cause and effect, good and evil will be rewarded. Because, if God does not repay, I will repay for God. And I happen to have such an ability. This is also the original intention of the establishment of Eagle Guard."
