Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 319 Show sincerity, news of victory, forced marriage
His voice was full of helplessness that he didn't want to compromise, but had to compromise.

Shu Yun was stunned, she couldn't believe what she heard.

What did he just say?He admitted defeat, admit defeat?

Is it what she thought it was?

"Master admit defeat!" The man gritted his teeth and said, "Master is willing to change his heart, and he will only spoil you from now on, is that okay!?"

"Come back to Grandpa!"

The last sentence sounded a bit fierce, with a stern look and a very arrogant look. It looked like it was to restore his man's dignity!
Long Tianxing thought that Shu Yun would throw himself into his arms with a coquettish smile, and asked coquettishly, "Really? Is it true? Master, you can't lie to Shu Yun~"

At that time, he can proudly say to the woman in his arms: "Master, you are a man, you stand upright, you keep your word, when did you ever lie to you!?"

Then the woman in her arms would hug him tightly, "Master~ Sou Yun is so happy, I finally belong to Su Yun alone, and from now on, Su Yun will definitely serve him with all my heart!"

Then the woman will be so moved that he will let him do whatever he wants, or use her best remedies to please him... The two will fight for another [-] rounds...

Long Tianxing was thinking about the excitement, but he heard Shuyun's not very excited voice, which was in stark contrast to his mood.

"What did you say? Heart-for-heart, doting on Shuyun alone?"

"Shu Yun has been looking forward to this for a long time, and thought that one day when the hope comes, Su Yun will be so excited that he will cry."

"But what should we do?" Shu Yun tilted his head, with doubts on his face, "After hearing what Master said, Su Yun realized that it doesn't seem so rare for Su Yun."

"Master, why don't you take back what you just said, and Su Yun will pretend that he didn't hear it."

Long Tianxing on the bed felt as if struck by lightning.

The beautiful phoenix eyes stared at Shu Yun, wishing to devour her alive!

He is a dragon, lived more than 30 years old, confessed to a woman for the first time, and is willing to give up the colorful life surrounded by Yingyingyanyan in the past!

What did she say?
Why don't you take back what you just said and pretend you didn't hear it? !

"Say it again to Grandpa?!" He was trembling with anger, and the volume was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums!

If she dares to say it again, if she doesn't strangle her, his surname will not be Long!

Shu Yunyun smiled lightly, "Master, don't be so fierce, you will scare Shu Yun. Shu Yun is not afraid of being scared, but Su Yun is afraid that Master will feel distressed."

Long Tianxing became even more angry, this woman is sure of him, right? ?Who gave her the guts! ?
"Master, you are wrong. Think about how you treated Su Yun back then? Forcing Su Yun to walk the path of charcoal fire, almost costing Su Yun's life! Later, you humiliated Su Yun again and again, Saying that So Yun is passionate and wishful thinking. He keeps pampering other vixens and hurts So Yun's heart!"

"If Shuyun just came back to Master like this, then what is Shuyun? A pet that Master Ren can come and go as soon as he wants? If one day Master suddenly says no, then Shuyun will have to leave obediently again." ?”

Long Tianxing stared at her, "When will my words count as words?"

Shu Yun curled his lips, "Who knows what will happen in the future, I really don't want to comb Yun when the time comes, and Shu Yun can't do anything to me."

"Then what do you want!?" Long Tianxingcong squeezed out a sentence between his teeth.

Finally, the question came to the point, and Shu Yun was secretly happy, but his face remained calm, "If Master really wants Shu Yun's heart, then show sincerity, just like Su Yun did to Master back then."

"If Shuyun is satisfied, maybe he will agree with Master."

...

After Shu Yun returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and said goodbye to everyone in Yue Xin Yuan, she told Lu Xinyan and the others that Long Tian Xing wanted to marry her and only dote on her.

Xing Luo was surprised: "My God! This is really incredible!"

Xia knew: "Master Long really wants to marry you? Is that because he came to our Zhen Guogong's mansion to hire you? When?"

"I haven't agreed yet."

Several people gasped in unison, and even Bai Zhi showed a rare expression of surprise, "You didn't agree!? Why? Didn't you always want to be with him?"

"It's too easy to get, and I won't cherish it." Shu Yun said: "I have to express my attitude. Although I love him, it doesn't mean that I can't live without him. He must show his sincerity! "

Qingtong cupped her hands and said in admiration: "I admire!"

People who dare to say no to Long Tianxing can be counted in this world!
Xing Luo gave a thumbs up, "Admiration!"

To live with such a man for a lifetime, at least ten lifetimes of courage must be accumulated.

Long Tianxing's marriage to Shuyun was originally a great joy, but because Xiaohe had disappeared, everyone was happy and sad, so they broke up after talking for a while.

After everyone left, Lu Xinyan took out the letter that was half written during the day.It was a letter from home to Xiao Yichen.

At the beginning of the letter, I wrote what happened in the past few days, and Emperor Longde's reward and punishment after the incident.

She picked up her pen and wrote: "Ankangbo Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion are all safe and sound. Li Yu resigned as General Zuo Lang of the Imperial Forest Army under the order of General Li after the emperor's poisoning case. Among them, escaped. Speaking of this, I have to admire General Li, Jiang is still old and spicy!
After the emperor's poisoning case happened, Old General Li may have predicted that the future Tianwu royal family would not be peaceful, so he resolutely chose to retreat bravely and protect himself wisely, thus preserving the foundation of the General's Mansion!Otherwise, even if Fourth Gu is pregnant, if something happens to Li Yu, it will still be a severe blow to the General's Mansion!
There are two more things, one happy and one worrying.What is worrying is that Xiao He has disappeared, and is very likely to be taken away by the First Prince. There is no news so far, and everyone is very worried.

Another happy event, I guess you will never guess it, so I will tell you directly: Long Tianxing is going to marry Shuyun!Although Shu Yun said that she hadn't agreed yet, but it was a matter of time before she agreed.She's finally getting what she wanted, and I'm so happy for her that all the hard work these past few months has finally paid off.Although there is a big difference in their identities, Shu Yun is a smart woman. I believe she will make me live well, and I am not worried at all.

In the end, my baby and I are fine, I just miss you so much!You must protect yourself and come back alive to witness the growth of our children.Everything in the mansion is fine, don't read it! "

The final signature, Zhuzhu who loves you and misses you thousands of times every day.

After finishing writing, Lu Xinyan looked at the final signature and felt a little nauseous, but apart from this sentence, she couldn't think of any words that could express her feelings more directly.

After signing, she printed a lip print, folded it and put it in an envelope, and went to bed to rest.

...

Today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the people in Yuexin Yard were not in high spirits because of Xiao He's disappearance, they still hung up the festive red lanterns symbolically.

Bai Hun came out from the palace to meet Bai Zhi. The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a few years. Naturally, they had to celebrate such a traditional festival together.

After saying some homely and concerned words, Bai Zhi asked: "Father, do you still remember the leg injury of the Duke? You healed him 18 years ago."

Bai Hun didn't deny it, and nodded.

"Daughter is a little unclear. Father, you have always done your best to the patients. You have never ignored half of the treatment. Why did you ignore half of the treatment of the Duke's leg injury?"

Bai Hun was silent for a while and then said: "I was forced to give up back then. As for the reason, I can't tell you for the time being."

"Then why did you put your daughter in Madam Zhuangzi and said that you want to repay your kindness?"

Not only Lu Xinyan was curious about this matter, but Bai Zhi was also curious.In the past three years, Bai Zhi always thought that it was Lin Ruyue who was kind to their father and daughter, that's why Bai Hun put her on Zhuangzi.

But after Lu Xinyan came back from Zhuangzi last time, talking about the strangeness, Bai Zhi realized that there must be something else hidden in it.

Since Lin Ruyue married in the capital, she rarely left the Ankangbo mansion. The management of the shop in her hands was handed over to other people, and later Qiu Yun was in charge of it.

In Bai Zhi's memory, the first time she came to the capital since she was a child was three years ago.How did Lin Ruyue show kindness to people who have never met before?If it wasn't Lin Ruyue herself, it was Qiu Yun who was walking outside, but Qiu Yun didn't recognize her at all when she was in Jianglin.Qiu Yun also didn't know about other people in Zhuangzi, such as Tian Shu Qingtong and others.

"It's to repay the kindness, but it's not the kindness of the princess, but the kindness of King Rui." Bai Hun didn't hide it from her, "You were born with angina, and I took you around to find medicine since you were young. Wang sent someone to bring you a blind prescription in time, so that you can keep your illness and grow up safely until now."

Bai Zhi understands the latter sentence, but what does the previous sentence mean? "princess?"

"The princess and the son's mother, Lin Ruyue." Bai Hun said: "But this is just the name in Beizhou. In the capital, you must never call it."

Bai Zhi wondered: "Why?"

Baihun told her truthfully, "Princess Wang took the fake death medicine I made and left Beijing, but in name, she is still Mrs. Ankangbo."

I see!Bai Zhi remembered something, and asked again: "Did you save Prince Azhu too? You and King Rui have known each other for a long time?"

"After getting to know your mother, I got to know King Rui because I was looking for medicine everywhere." Bai Hun said, "I have received a lot of favors from him, so I paid back by saving the son and the princess."

Bai Zhi finally figured out the ins and outs of repaying her kindness.

"Father, are you going to visit the Duke?"

Speaking of which, the two had known each other for a while.

Baihun said: "I have no face to see him, after you heal his leg and make amends for me, I will come to the door to apologize."

"The daughter took Father to the mansion for a walk." Bai Zhi said.

Because of Baihun's arrival, at dinner time, Lu Xinyan asked Qi Fei, Junwu, Ziyan, and Tian Shu Luaoyue to invite everyone to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yuexin Courtyard, lest there be only Baihun. too embarrassing.

Bai Hun was deeply grateful for this.

Uncle Tian and Yueyue's marriage has been postponed. As for when it will be postponed, it depends on when Xiao He is found.Xiaohe happened at sunrise on the day they got married, and Lueyue blamed herself in her heart. Uncle Tian couldn't bear to flatter her, and agreed without hesitation.

After Lu Xinyan arranged things in Yuexin Courtyard, she went to Su Courtyard to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xiao Yan, Jiang Shi, Jiang Mengyao and Liu Han.

On such occasions, Xiao Yan wanted to maintain the majesty of the patriarch, and was always extraordinarily silent.Therefore, the atmosphere during the dinner was not lively, and everyone ate their meals in silence until Jiang's words broke the silence.

"I made chicken soup and kept it warm in the kitchen. I'll keep the princess for you to make supper."

Since the last time, Mrs. Jiang has cooked some chicken soup and sent it to Yue Xin Yuan from time to time, and Lu Xinyan is used to it.

She was about to nod her head to thank, when Xiao Yan suddenly said: "Is there too much to cook? If it is too much, bring it for me to drink now, just because I am a little thirsty."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Aunt Lan was the first to react, "Why don't I serve you tea?"

Xiao Yan didn't make a sound, and after Jiang was stunned for two seconds, he ordered his servants: "Go to the kitchen and serve it up."

Aunt Lan backed away silently.

The portion of chicken soup is sufficient, and Jiang asked his servants to serve a bowl for each of the five people.

There are a lot of medicinal materials, and the heat is enough. It can't be said to be delicious, but at least it can be eaten.

"Your cooking skills have improved a lot compared to before." Xiao Yan said after taking a few sips: "In the past when you cooked soup, you either forgot to add salt or put too much salt, and you always forced me to finish it. After drinking it, you have to say it’s delicious.”

He suddenly mentioned the past. Although his tone was flat, it made people feel that they were once a loving couple.

Jiang Shi bit her lip.

"Now this salt is not too much, not too little, just right." After Xiao Yan finished drinking a bowl, he handed the bowl to Jiang Shi, "Give me another bowl."

"Come on, slave." Aunt Lan was about to take it when Jiang stretched out her hand first.

He didn't say anything after receiving the bowl, filled a bowl for Xiao Yan, and put it in front of him.

"If you cook soup in the future, remember to send me two bowls."

Lu Xinyan couldn't help being surprised, she remembered that when Jiang made chicken soup for her for the first time, she also sent a copy to Suyuan.At that time, she saw Aunt Lan falling down, and she said it was under Xiao Yan's order.

Lu Xinyan couldn't help looking at Aunt Lan, only to see a flash of nervousness on Aunt Lan's face, and she quickly regained her composure.

Jiang opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "Got it."

"I won't compete with Zhuzhu tonight." The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth slightly curled up, "Zhuzhu, your mother cooked it for you specially, drink more."

"Yes, father." Lu Xinyan said: "Daughter-in-law, thank you mother."

Jiang Shi was a little uncomfortable and said: "You are getting older now, and you will run out less in the future. If something happens to the child, there is nowhere to look for it."

If Jiang had said this in the past, Lu Xinyan would definitely feel uncomfortable, feeling that there was a suspicion of the curse baby.But after this incident where she almost couldn't keep the baby, Lu Xinyan knew that Jiang Shi's words were not pleasant, but they were true.

"Thank you for reminding me, my daughter-in-law will remember."

Jiang said: "Mengyao, Han'er, you should drink more too."

"Thank you auntie."

The meal started awkwardly, but at the end, it brought a rare warmth.

Lu Xinyan couldn't help thinking of Xiao Yichen in her heart, if he was here, she would be very happy too.

At this time, Chen Yong walked in with a happy expression on his face, "Master, Madam, Young Madam, Qi Fei just sent a letter, saying that the Young Master sent someone to send it!"

Lu Xinyan exclaimed happily, "Bring it to me to see!"

After yelling, seeing everyone looking at her, she realized that she was too eager. She didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled twice.

Xiao Yan subconsciously wanted to take it, seeing Lu Xinyan's reaction, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Chen Yong, send the letter to Young Madam."

He joked: "In case I see something that shouldn't be seen, I'm afraid Zhuzhu will be shy."

It was rare for him to make a joke, and Lu Xin's face became hot, and she accepted the letter openly.

"Father, mother, Shizi Xiao wrote in his letter that after he arrived in Dongyuan late last month, he fought Wula five times and won all five of them. According to his calculations, Wula will be able to surrender in mid-September and early October. I can return to the capital."

In the back of the letter, Xiao Yichen couldn't help expressing that he missed her and the baby very much, and hoped to come back safely as soon as possible to witness the baby's growth in her womb.

Lu Xinyan felt sweet in her heart, thinking that they really had a good understanding.

She wrote him a letter yesterday, and just now she suddenly thought of him, and his letter arrived.

"Great!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed, "Our family is finally reunited."

Although Jiang Shi didn't speak, there was a faint joy on his face.

"The emperor will receive the good news tomorrow afternoon." Lu Xinyan said: "The reputation of our Zhen Guo government is probably going to be unprecedentedly high these days."

She didn't say it clearly, but Xiao Yan understood her worry, and his achievements were overwhelming, and he shot the first bird.

"Order, from today onwards, everyone in Zhen Guo Gongfu must act in a low-key manner!"

-

Big red happy characters, red paper-cut, dragon and phoenix candles, and red lanterns hanging outside.

Inside the red gauze tent, the girl under the red brocade quilt embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water suddenly opened her eyes.

The red eyes made her dumbfounded.

She struggled to sit up and saw clearly that she was wearing a bright red bridal dress.

The exquisite dragon and phoenix embroidery on the clothes hurt her eyes.

At the same time, it made her feel a little dazed. Is she dreaming?

"woke up?"

She looked around, and the door with the word "Happy" was pushed open.

Wu Yuan, who was dressed in red groom's clothes, stood there and asked her gently.

"This... where is this?" Xiao He's heart tightened, "What's going on here?"

Why is she wearing bridal clothes?

The picture before coma appeared indistinctly in his mind.

The palace guard who watched her packed up her things in a panic and was about to run away. It is said that the eldest prince failed to force the palace.

Seeing the opportunity, she sneaked out of the Baihua Palace when the guards were lax.

In the end, she didn't run very far when she ran into Wu Yuan who was surrounded by guards. She immediately turned around and ran away, her body softened suddenly, and her eyes went dark...

"Remember?" Wuyuan walked in with a smile on his face, "That's right, I failed."

He went straight to the bed, and Xiao He screamed in fright, "You...don't come here!"

Wuyuan then stood there without moving, and said softly: "I promised you that today I will make you my concubine! Didn't you say that you wanted to be my concubine? I failed, and I couldn't make you my concubine, but I can satisfy your wish. From now on, you will be my wife, and we will wander the rivers and lakes together and start from scratch."

"No! Xiao He doesn't want to be your wife!" Xiao He screamed out of control.

"Don't get excited." Wu Yuan sat on a stool some distance from the bed, "Don't be nervous, let's talk first. Don't you wonder why I failed?"

Xiao He broke down and burst into tears, she was frightened by Wuyuan saying that she wanted her to be his wife, "Xiao He doesn't want to know! Xiao He wants to go back!"

Wu Yuan watched her cry, his eyes were cold, "Xiao He, don't provoke me, please? You must know that provoking me is not good for you, tonight is our bridal chamber wedding night, I don't want you to leave a bad impression. "

Xiao He was so frightened that she bit her lip desperately, covered her mouth with her back, twitched, and looked at Wu Yuan in horror.

Wu Yuan smiled softly, "That's good."

"You don't know yet, do you? In fact, I'm not Wuyuan. I'm Wushuo, the second son of the former prince." Wuyuan's eyes blurred, and he fell into memories, "I was four years old at that time. I was a carefree age. One day, someone suddenly said that the emperor’s grandfather was killed by my father. So my mother, my brothers and sisters, and I were locked up in the East Palace, and we were not allowed to go anywhere. When I was young, I loved to play, and after being locked up in the East Palace for several days I couldn't sit still, and one day I sneaked out while the guards weren't paying attention. Because I was young, they were on guard against my mother and elder brother, but not me. So I went out of the East Palace smoothly, and then met my second cousin Wu Yuan.

The two of us look alike, but not many people know about it, because the second cousin is not loved by the emperor, and almost no one notices him.I met him at a palace party, because I look alike, I am very curious about him, and occasionally I would secretly play with him.I saw him at the time and asked him why he was in the palace, because I remembered that he lived with the emperor's uncle in the Prince's Mansion.He said that the uncle's family moved into the palace a few days ago, and he followed suit.Because the place where I live is too boring, so I sneaked here.I didn't understand what he meant at the time, and I happily played with him until my father's guards pretended to be eunuchs and found him.

He was shocked when he saw Wuyuan, and after asking who it was, he suddenly beat him unconscious.Then, while I was in a daze, he directly changed our clothes for us.And told me, let me remember that from now on I will be Wuyuan, and whoever asks me will be Wuyuan!Before I understood it, suddenly a group of imperial guards rushed into the East Palace, and then I heard the screams of A Niang, Brother and Brother.I cried and tried to rush in to save them, but the guards knocked me out.When I wake up again, I will become Wuyuan. "

Wu Yuandao: "It's unbelievable, isn't it? There are even more unbelievable things! When I grow up, people who follow my father told me that my father never harmed the emperor's grandfather. The emperor Wu Mu is related! Including when my father was framed and killed the emperor's grandfather, he never thought of rebelling against him, but was always looking for evidence to prove his innocence! Everything is just a play directed and performed by the current emperor !

Because there were many people who supported my father at that time, if my father could not be eradicated, he would not be able to ascend the throne smoothly!But he is too meticulous in his work. For so many years, I wanted to find out the real reason for the death of the imperial grandfather and the palace change, and to restore my father's innocence, but I didn't find out at all!Later, I thought it didn't matter if I didn't find out. After I ascend the throne and become the emperor, I will slowly clear up my father's grievances.It's a pity that in the end because of your young lady, the success fell short! "

"Do you think that I hate your young lady? Actually, you are wrong. The only person I really hate is Wu Mu from the beginning to the end! Your young lady is very talented. I admire her very much. If it weren't for the different positions, I would I would like to be friends with her. It’s just a pity that God’s will, our positions have been opposites from the beginning! A few years ago, I accidentally found out that she had a dowry that was as rich as a country, and I planned for several years to get it. In the end, she found out, which caused me to lose a lot of money. Later, I lost to her in several fights. Later, in order to protect herself, she joined Xiao Yichen and became the third prince's faction. For my great cause, I can only To deal with her. But God is obviously on her side, every time I thought I won, but in the end it was me who lost, just like this time!"

"Miss is very powerful, isn't she?" Xiao He said with hope in his eyes: "Prince, if you exchange Xiao He with Miss and let her send you out of the capital safely, as long as you promise not to do anything again, she will definitely agree." !"

Wu Yuan didn't answer her, but looked at her, "I thought I would be very decadent and angry after this failure, but I found that I didn't. Do you know why?"

Xiao He really didn't want to answer, but she didn't dare not to answer, she bit her lip and asked, "Why?"

"Because you are by my side. As long as I think that you are by my side, I will always be with me in the future. I suddenly feel that this result is not bad. If I fail, I will start from scratch. In the process of doing it again, I will have you by my side." Come on, everything will be better."

He speaks affectionately and sincerely, even if Xiao He has no feelings for him now, she can still feel the sincerity in his words.

But the more so, the more frightened she became.

"Eldest Prince, Xiao He is just a stupid girl who doesn't understand anything, Xiao He can't help you!" Xiao He desperately persuaded, "If the First Prince still wants to avenge your father, you should find someone who can help you." , Xiao He is useless, Xiao He really can't help!"

Wu Yuanrou said: "I don't need your help, as long as you are by my side, I will have strength."

"Elder Prince." Xiao He was about to cry, "Xiao He has young ladies, mothers and friends, Xiao He should not leave them."

"I know, you actually don't want to leave your little lover." Wu Yuan said, "But what should I do? I have you in my heart now, and I will never let you go no matter what."

"Xiao He, don't... woo woo..."

"You must really want to know, why do I, the majestic prince of Tianwu, put you in my heart, a little country girl? In fact, I can't figure it out myself. The first time I saw you in Wuyanghou's mansion, you were still a skinny little girl. Little girl. At that time, my first impression of you was that this girl was born with a pair of good eyes, clean and pure. But I soon forgot about you until I saw you in the palace later.

I think maybe it was the day when you saw me, your eyes were shining like stars in the sky, and your whole body seemed to be shining, which made me put you in my heart from then on.But I didn't understand at the time, I just wanted to destroy you.I am a prince, the proud son of heaven to outsiders, but I live in hell every day, trembling and unable to see a little light.And you, a little girl who knows nothing and understands nothing, how can you have such clean eyes and live such a carefree life?
I deliberately approached you to use you, but you continued to worship me like a hero.A person who has been in the dark for a long time does not believe when he suddenly sees the light, but when he sees a lot, he will yearn for the light.So I thought, since you let me see the light, stay by my side all the time.But in the end, you ran to the door and told me that you wanted to dig me out of your heart!If a person stays in the dark all the time and never knows what the light is, he will probably not have desires.But if you have seen it, the light suddenly wants to leave, how can people accept it? "

Wu Yuandao: "So even if I want to go to hell, I will hold you with me."

He raised his hand suddenly, and Xiao He couldn't move immediately.

She was shocked, "What are you going to do!?"

"It's getting late, let's drink Hebei wine."

Wu Yuan took out two wine glasses out of nowhere, and walked to the bedside, "After drinking the Heying wine, it's time for us to rest."

"No! Xiao He won't drink!"

With tears in her eyes, Xiao He desperately refused, but her body couldn't move a single bit after the acupuncture point, she could only watch helplessly as Wu Yuan put the wine glass to her lips and forced her to drink it.

"Ahem!" Xiao He choked, and the wine wet her clothes.

Her face was blushing from choking, with teardrops hanging on her eyelashes, she was beautiful and pitiful.

With a heart move, Wu Yuan raised her chin, and said softly: "Don't cry, don't be afraid. It's getting late, let's rest, I will treat you gently."

"Elder Prince." Xiao He couldn't help crying, "Xiao He promised you that she would be your wife, bear children for you, and accompany you until the end of life. But how about the next life? Because in this life, Xiao He belongs to Xiao He. Monkey! Eldest prince, can you not touch Xiao He, and let Xiao He accompany you to hell cleanly, okay?"

She cried so hard that her heart was broken, her eyes were blinded by tears, and she couldn't see anything.

In the haze, Wu Yuan was stunned for a while, then reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, which seemed impossible no matter how hard she tried.

Then leaned over and kissed her lips...
