025 Second Marriage
The next day, the prime minister's house broke the news that Princess Ping'an was sick in bed because of occasional typhoid fever. Since the Empress Dowager recognized Murong Xueyan as her righteous daughter, there have been more visitors to the prime minister's house in vain. She feels cold, and naturally there are many people who come to ask for warmth.
It's just a show. Just like in her original era, everyone scrambled to use her to play a play to show their importance to the empress dowager and the royal family - the empress dowager expressed her to regard her as a woman, and everyone's welcome was nothing more than showing loyalty. Well, in this case, the killer will not come to the door again, right?
Put your mind to heal your wounds and hide all your fears in the bottom of your heart. At least for the time being, she doesn't have to worry about what the enemy will do.
One day, Murong Xueyan put the earring in the palm of her hand and played with it carefully. The earrings are made of sterling silver, which is pure and flawless, creating a pattern similar to a minority totem, and the bottom is decorated with five glazed beads of different colors, which is very cute. Such earrings are not like those owned by the Western Song Dynasty, which is blindly militarily and has a strong military force. There are some ethnic minority customs...
"Miss, I heard that the emperor appointed Princess Wuyang of Nanyue as the dance concubine and gave her the Feitian Pavilion." Since Murong Xueyan's "sleeping sick", most of the people who come to visit her are the minister's wife or daughter, which also gives Jinxin the opportunity to hear many anecdotes that he can't usually hear...
Princess Wuyang...
She comes from South Vietnam and wears most of the jewelry she wears colorful glass or silverware. Will this string of earrings have anything to do with her?
Ten days later, Murong Xueyan's knife wound was 70% or 80% better, and there was no need to be wrapped in gauze. The two-inch-long scar is always across the left forehead. In ten days, she kept the originally lightly drooping flat bangs long, combed them all diagonally towards the right sideburn, and bent a curve to cover the scar.
It took her a morning to draw the shape and color of the earring vividly, and then put the picture into a brocade box. She took some gifts and went to the palace to visit the dance concubine with Jinxin.
After a cold noise, she earned gifts with the dance concubine and said, "The dancing concubine, Xueyan recently designed an earring, and I think it is very suitable for the empress. I don't know if the empress is interested in taking a look?"
"Can you design earrings?" The dance concubine looked at her with admiration.
"It took me many days to design the design, Maid Concubine, do you like it?" Murong Xueyan opened the brocade box and slowly unfolded the painting in front of the dancing concubine...
"Xue Yan." The dance concubine got rid of many ethnic minority habits and was polite. She called her by her name, "Your earrings are very similar..."
"What does it look like?" Murong Xueyan almost raised her throat.
"On that day, I came to make peace with my father's order. Among the gifts, there were some necklaces and earrings worn by women. This earring and a necklace were a complete set. At that time, the emperor seemed to give it to the Empress Yunfei."
Yunfei, it's really her!
"Dancing Concubine, are you sure?" Murong Xueyan's heart was excited and her face was flat. "Xueyan and the Empress Yunfei have never had a private relationship, and they have never seen this earring."
"I...I'm sure." The dance concubine must have nodded.
"Xueyan still wants to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager. Let's say goodbye first and come back another day." Murong Xueyan lowered her eyebrows and smiled and leaned over to say.
Every step she took was very heavy, and every step was like a great determination.
In the sleeve pocket, there is evidence left by Concubine Yun at the scene that day - the pair of earrings from South Vietnam. In addition, she has to expose her affair with Nangongyi to the Empress Dowager. Private affairs are not allowed in the harem, even if... doing so will implicate Nangong Yi.
He falls in love with someone he shouldn't love...
My heart flashed and I couldn't bear it. After all, my heart is still soft. Anyway, Nangong Yi also saved her...
Then, hand over this earring to the empress dowager and pass the power investigation of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She believes that the sky is full of time. This Yunfei will always be caught one day.
Going out of Feitian Pavilion, Murong Xueyan only thought about her thoughts and did not talk to Jinxin until she heard Jinxin remind her: "Miss, you have gone to the wrong place." She looked up again and found that she had lost his way in the deep palace again.
Where is it in front of you? The fallen flowers are colorful, the grass is fresh and beautiful, and it is lush, which is particularly refreshing in the hot summer.
"It's you." Nangong Yi appeared from behind a tree for no reason, which shocked Murong Xueyan.
"I'm going to send my hi to the Empress Dowager." She regained her composure and smiled at him indifferently, "King Jing, what will you do if you find out one day that the woman you love has betrayed you?"
"She...she won't..."
"I forgot that she had betrayed you for a long time. Five years ago." The corners of Murong Xueyan's eyes and eyebrows were extremely mocking.
"Murong Xueyan, what on earth are you going to say?" Nangong Yi looked at her.
Jin Xinhui and quietly retreated to the distance.
"I..." She didn't know why she made the same mistake as last time. She told Nangongyi, "I have the evidence that Concubine Yun sent someone to kill me..."
"What?! You..." Nangong Yi was shocked when he heard this.
"Look, this is the evidence!" Murong Xueyan raised the earrings in front of him.
Nangong Yi stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was empty. It turned out that Murong Xueyan had already hidden the earrings in her arms.
"King Jing, goodbye." Murong Xue's face was expressionless. After walking a few steps, he called Jinxin, who avoided it. He ordered Jinxin to call a palace attendant to lead the way and continue to Changxin Palace. To her surprise, Nangong Yi also followed.
"See the Empress Dowager, the Empress, thousands of years, thousands of years!" Murong Xueyan bowed down.
"Get up and let my family have a look. I haven't seen you these days. Why does it seem to have been reduced a lot? Is this disease very serious? The Empress Dowager's concern is a little sincere.
Murong Xueyan's heart was warm and she quickly replied, "It's just Xiao Chao. When Xueyan fainted, she knocked her forehead on the corner of the table and fell through." By the way, he gently stroked the bangs and let the scar on his forehead look at the empress dowager. At the same time, he also announced the origin of the scar on his head through Changxin Palace - the fall.
"It's a pity that it looks so beautiful..." The Empress Dowager was very sorry and sighed repeatedly.
"Empress Dowager, King Jing wants to see you!" The father-in-law reported it.
Nangong Yi, what is he doing here? Murong Xueyan frowned slightly. Is he so afraid that she will expose his old lover? She didn't mention a word, but he came to see him in a hurry.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yi had already entered the Changxin Palace, opened his clothes, and knelt down: "The Empress Dowager, I have something to ask."
"What do you want to mourn for your family?" The Empress looked at him kindly.
"Ask the Empress Dowager to be the master and marry Princess Ping An to my minister!"
After saying a word, Murong Xue was stunned and almost fell down. What on earth did Nangongyi want? Even Jin Xin, who was beside him, looked surprised. Everything about the wedding was vivid in my mind, but now I propose again, what is it for?
"I remember that it was rumored that you personally divorced Xue Yan on the day of the wedding." The Empress Dowager looked at him solemnly, "Now you are asking for marriage again. What's the reason?"
"On that day, I had no eyes and misunderstood the princess, so I made that kind of ridiculous decision. Now I have figured it out that the princess Lan Xinhui is really a good couple. Nangong Yi looked very sincere.
Murong Xueyan was about to refute, but he grabbed his hand and heard him say, "I and Princess Ping'an are in love with each other and ask the Empress Dowager to complete it."
He deliberately aggravated the word "completion", looked at the Empress Dowager fixedly, and then glanced on Murong Xueyan's face.
Complete? I have done for you, who will do for me? Murong Xueyan's rhetorical question was hidden in her heart, but she finally didn't say it...
This guy Nangongyi is destined to be her dead hole. He used some small tricks, and she was defeated.
"Xueyan, what do you think?" The Empress Dowager turned her head and looked at Murong Xueyan. Would you like to propose to King Jing this time?
"I... I don't want to!" She didn't want to marry a person who didn't love her and fell into a loveless marriage. She knew she couldn't refuse, but she still refused.
"Why? I want to hear your reason."
"Xueyan...Xueyan is not worthy of King Jing..." Murong Xueyan lowered her head.
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "I think that looking at the world, the woman who is worthy of King Jing is Xueyan. Are you shy?
"The Empress Dowager..."
"The decree of mourning the family is to marry the king of peace, and choose an auspicious day to get married."
"Thank the Empress Dowager!" Nangong Yi hurriedly knelt down to thank her, and pulled Murong Xueyan, who was slightly stunned beside her, and made her kneel down.
"Go ahead, prepare for your wedding and set a good day." The Empress Dowager smiled with relief.
Murong Xueyan was solemn and walked out of Changxin Palace with Nangong Yi. In front of the Empress Dowager, Nangong Yi has been holding her hand. The two walked silently for a while. He has been turning a blind eye to the Jinxin beside Murong Xueyan. It was not until it was far from Changxin Palace that he let go of her hand...
Red crisp hand... The moment he let go, he actually had a little nostalgia for her temperature.
In front of him was a long royal street leading to the outside of the palace. From time to time, he saw a distant brigade of guards patrolling by. Nangong Yi walked and suddenly asked, "Are you so unwilling to marry me?"
"It's funny for you to ask this question. Who wants to marry someone you don't love?" Murong Xueyan didn't even look at him.
"You..."
"What's more, you don't love me." Murong Xueyan looked up, but saw a butterfly flying away from nowhere. For no reason, she sighed, "Nangongyi, you marry me just to protect your Yun'er."
"..." He was a little shocked and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Murong Xueyan looked directly at him and said clearly, "Nan Gongyi, I won't offend me. I won't offend you. As long as your Yun'er will let me go from now on, I can pretend that this matter has never happened."
"I never believe that Yun'er would do that kind of thing." Nangong Yi answered the question.
Murong Xueyan smiled sarcastically, handed the drawings of the earrings she drew to Nangong Yi, and said, "You just need to take this to ask the people around her, and you will know everything."
Nangong Yi took over the painting and unfolded slowly. Suddenly stunned--
He has seen this earring. Yunfei likes it very much recently and often wears it.
