Chapter 366 Final Chapter
Leng Xuanrong dared not look up at Zeng Yanliang. She wanted to finish the story. If she looked at Zeng Yanliang, she might not be able to go on. So she clenched her hands, resisted the tears in the corners of her eyes and the emotions in her heart, and continued word by word, "Finally, according to Du Yilin's words, poisoned An Longyi, killed He Lijing, and avenge my father and the unjustly dead brother Yan Liang. Then the court quickly sent someone to arrest me and issue a list, adding the charge of killing the important ministers of the court to me and sentenced me to death.
In the cold prison, Leng Xuanrong only felt afraid and unwilling. The knife on the court should have cut off everything.
"I was pushed to the execution ground... At three o'clock in the afternoon, I was stabbed over my neck..."
Listening to Leng Xuanrong say this, the corners of Zeng Yanliang's eyes almost cracked. He gritted his teeth fiercely, but still listened quietly.
Leng Xuanrong's body finally trembled. She lowered her head deeply and could hardly hear her voice.
"I thought I was dead, but I opened my eyes again, but I went back to three years ago..."
Zeng Yanliang was stunned, but he seemed to be extremely sober at this time. Many doubts in his heart were suddenly solved. He recalled the past that had happened, why Leng Xuanrong always looked afraid, why she could calculate the time to save herself, and why she always expected things as if it was uncertain. Prophet, why can a weak woman deal with danger so that her father can go to the high position of prime minister today, and he once washed away his previous grievances and even participated in the following things...
These doubts and corresponding answers drowned Zeng Yanliang like a tide, and Zeng Yanliang's extraordinary anger just now seemed to have been forgotten by him. What followed was the incomparable heartache. He was just angry with the people who bullied her in Leng Xuanrong's mouth, but now he is heartbroken for Leng Xuanrong who has experienced these things.
Zeng Yanliang dared not say that he could believe what Leng Xuanrong said, but the words Leng Xuanrong said were real, and there was no doubt in Zeng Yan's conscience.
"Xuan Rong... Do you think I have died once?" Zeng Yanliang's voice was so low that he couldn't believe it.
Leng Xuanrong's body trembled and nodded, but still did not look up to see Zeng Yanliang.
"Do you think my uncle died once?"
Leng Xuanrong nodded again.
"You said...you yourself... died once?"
This sentence made Leng Xuanrong bite his lower lip and nodded slightly.
After that, there was a silence.
Leng Xuanrong felt that her breathing was about to stop. Her heart is like a mess, but now she can no longer sort out this mess little by little as usual. In front of her was only her hands clenched tightly. Her hands have long not looked like a lady's hands. Even in this life, she is used to doing daily work, and she once had to rely on mending to maintain her and her father's life. She clenched the corner of the quilt more than once in the middle of the night, and the joints turned white.
The candlelight was shining, but Leng Xuanrong clearly saw that her hands were stained with blood. That's not the blood left when she killed He Lijing in her previous life, but the blood of those who died in her hands in this life. She thought she had not been stained with her hands, but the blood stains were clearly still there.
Leng Xuanrong's heart gradually cooled down. She trembled her hands, as if she saw the hesitation in Yan Liang's heart and the decision he had to make. Leng Xuanrong gritted her teeth and wanted to make a conclusion, but just as she raised her head, a big hand held tightly in her hand.
This hand is also trembling. Every time this hand is stretched out, it is hot, but today, this hand is extremely cold.
Leng Xuanrong raised her head and suddenly tightened her heart.
A candlelight clearly reflected the two lines of tears falling from Brother Yan Liang's eyes.
Zeng Yanliang couldn't say anything. He didn't even think about anything, but he hadn't shed tears several times in his life, but he couldn't stop crying at this time.
Fortunately, Xuan Rong is sitting opposite him at this time... Fortunately, she can sit opposite him now... Fortunately, they can still sit quietly like this...
"Brother Yan Liang... If you believe these words, it is the biggest secret in my heart. If you don't believe it, just think of it as a story..." Leng Xuanrong can only let tears flow down her eyes. Her voice couldn't help trembling. She suppressed her grief and said these words, "It doesn't matter in her previous life or this life. , I just want to make Brother Yan Liang safe... If Brother Yan Liang is... If..."
If you want to leave her, she will definitely not stop her.
This was a word that Leng Xuanrong had thought about for a long time, but when she came to say it, she was overwhelmed by crying.
Her body got lower and lower, and finally put her forehead against the hand held by Brother Yan Liang and cried loudly.
In the past and present life, Leng Xuanrong has never cried so sadly, and has never cried so without scruples. She said everything she wanted to say, and what she had to face was completely out of her control. She was sad because she was afraid that Brother Yan Liang would leave, but just now she saw Brother Yan Liang cry, but she seemed to have been scratched by a sharp blade.
A cry, I don't know how long it took to gradually stop. Leng Xuanrong raised her head and saw that although there were a little tears hanging in Zeng Yanliang's eyes, she looked at her with a faint smile.
Seeing Leng Xuanrong looking up, Zeng Yanliang said, "Xuanrong, do you think that Brother Yan Liang was incompetent in his previous life and poor in this life?"
Leng Xuanrong was stunned when she heard the words for a long time. She suddenly remembered what Brother Yan Liang had said before. She suddenly realized her misunderstanding and actually smiled bitterly.
"Brother Yan Liang, you don't like Xuanrong's slavery in his previous life, and he has harmed countless people in this life..."
The two looked at each other and saw the light flowing in each other's eyes, which was already connected.
The next day, in the Jinglan Hall of Mude Palace, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair and looked carefully at the three people kneeling below. He has seen Leng Chengqi. Although he is not familiar with him, he still feels that he is only a little older than before, and the rest is no different. This should also be attributed to Mr. Wu, Dou Yandong, who has been trying to recuperate his health for Leng Chengqi. From this, we can know that he has already planned to take the next step. The emperor looked at Zeng Yanliang again. As Yilin said, he looked very capable, and even knelt in the hall of the palace, which showed neither humble nor arrogant. If such a person is carefully carved, he will definitely become a powerful person around him in the future. Originally, the emperor still had scruples about the three sons of the An family, but after listening to Du Yilin's words, he felt that there was some truth.
At this time, Du Yilin was standing aside and carefully looking at Leng Xuanrong. Seeing that Leng Xuanrong's eyes were like peaches, he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly and looking at his royal brother.
The emperor agreed and said in his heart that his younger brother was thoughtful and thought about everything today.
He followed Du Yilin's eyes and looked at Leng Xuanrong. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this woman was not as sinister as his brother said, and he could not see that she was the real murderer who poisoned An Longyi.
Anyway, the emperor made up his mind to let the three people in front of him use them for himself, so he did not hesitate to open his will.
Leng Chengqi made a plan and risked his life to solve the danger of rebellion in Wuming County, share his worries for the king, and be loyal to the country. He is a great virtuous and wise person who can stabilize the country. At the same time, Leng Chengqi secretly left the imperial city, which was sent by the emperor to investigate the evidence of rebellion by He Lijing and others. Leng Chengqi has endured humiliation for many years. Now that this matter is over, it should naturally be remembered as a great achievement. The two contributions were added together, especially promoted, promoted to two grades, temporarily acted as prime minister, and immediately began to supervise and investigate the crimes of former assistant prime minister An Longyi.
An Pingzhi, the son of An Longyi, expressed his intention of conspiracy in public and left a self-confesy letter, so the charge of conspiracy was confirmed. And the murder of this pair of rebels was Zeng Yanliang, who was ordered by the emperor. Zeng Yanliang's killing of anti-thieves was also a great achievement. He was appointed as the commander of the imperial cinnabar and was responsible for the safety of the emperor.
For Leng Chengqi's will, Leng Chengqi, Leng Xuanrong and Zeng Yanliang are psychologically prepared, but the reward given to Zeng Yanliang is beyond the expectation of several people. Although Du Yilin made it clear before that Zeng Yanliang put the name of killing An Longyi and Anping on his back in order to block Youyou's mouth. If one day Zeng Yanliang repents that he is the third son of the An family, the notoriety of killing his father and brother will not give him a chance to raise the flag. In this way, Zeng Yanliang not only got the ready-made credit, but also cut off the road to chaos in the future. It's just that this credit has been made, but I didn't expect that the reward given was the position of Zhusha's close servant. Zeng Yanliang originally thought that with An Pingzhi's letter, Du Yilin and the emperor would definitely have a grudge against him. At most, giving a vacant position would be an expression of his heart. Unexpectedly, he was asked to be the leader of the cinnabar servant.
The cinnabar attendant is a group of dead men specially trained by Du Yilin to deal with An Longyi. They are loyal to Du Yilin and the emperor, which is almost the last barrier except for the three secret camps. Now, they are going to hand over this barrier to Zeng Yanliang.
Zeng Yanliang looked up at Du Yilin doubtfully, saw him raise his eyebrows, and snorted angrily, "What? Zeng Yanliang, do you think the official position given by the royal brother is small?
Zeng Yanliang did not answer, but turned his head and looked at the emperor.
The emperor was originally a generous person. He knew what Zeng Yan was thinking in his conscience, so he smiled and said, "Zeng Yanliang, my brother patted my chest and voted in front of me, saying that you are a plastic talent, and he will never let me down by my side. Zhusha's close servant is my life. Don't you dare to take this official position?
This made Zeng Yan's conscience shocked, but it also aroused the stubbornness in his bones. He frowned and hugged his fist at the emperor and said, "The Cao people do not dare to protect the emperor's life, but the close servant of the cinnabar is a man who is not afraid of death. If the emperor lets the grass people guard you with these brothers, there is no need to worry much."
"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed and looked at Du Yilin and said, "Yilin, the people you recommended are the same as you, with unshakeable deterrity."
Du Yilin was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled relievedly, "Brother, don't worry, no matter how rever Zeng Yanliang is, there are people who can hold him."
With that, their eyes fell on Leng Xuanrong.
Leng Xuanrong knelt there regularly, thinking about what kind of danger his father and Brother Yan Liang would encounter in the future. Just as she was distracted, she was suddenly patted by Zeng Yanliang beside her. Leng Xuanrong was shocked and then raised her head. Seeing that Du Yilin and the emperor were looking at her, Leng Xuanrong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
I heard Du Yilin say with some reproach, "Ceng Xuanrong, you usually have no rules in front of the king. I have never scolded you, but why do you still look careless when you come to your brother today?"
Leng Xuanrong smiled bitterly, shook his head in a hurry, and said that he didn't dare.
Du Yilin turned over and thought that this guy dared to do things that even pointed to his nose and scolded me. He even dared to poison the old traitor of An Longyi. What else are you afraid to do?
At this time, I heard the emperor say, "I have also heard what King Xiaohan said about Leng Xuanrong. I heard that you are in love with Zeng Yan and share difficulties. Since your father and Zeng Yanliang are my meritorious ministers, I can't treat you badly. The emperor pretended to think about it and then said, "I will marry you and Zeng Yanliang. Your father has worked hard for the court for many years. With two sleeves of breeze, your dowry will be taken out by me, and I will give you a wife. What do you think?"
When Leng Xuanrong heard the words, she hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, but when she raised her head, she stopped talking.
The emperor was calm and turned his head to Zeng Yanliang and said, "I will marry you. There is another condition. Leng Aiqing has no children under his knees, and only Leng Xuanrong has a daughter. You have no father or mother, and you are lonely and lonely. I asked you to be an inverted son-in-law. After getting married, you will live in the Prime Minister's mansion with Leng Aiqing.
Originally, Zeng Yanliang did not want to take Leng Xuanrong out for another day. He turned his head and saw Leng Xuanrong blushing and bowing his head, and saw Leng Chengqi's expectation. He turned his head and smiled and kowtowed to thank him.
The three imperial edicts came out, which can be said to shock the government and the opposition. Originally, several groups of people were waiting to compete for the position of prime minister, but they found that the emperor suddenly made a cold relationship. After taking office, Leng Chengqi opened the official road without much effort. In addition to the emperor's heart, this is naturally because of the support behind the master Mr. Zhang and the imperial palace, as well as the support of King Xiao Han. In addition, Leng Chengqi himself is a talented and virtuous person. After so many things, he invented the more he invented the white world, so as Du Yilin and the emperor expected, he really stabilized the situation.
And Zeng Yanliang, because he was originally Du Yilin's Wang driver's own guard, and served the family with cinnabar. In addition, Gu Zhiyi secretly helped him, and learned from what he saw and learned from the Kirin camp, he was also very good at commanding the cinnabar. Zeng Yanliang is bold and straightforward. He is not only supported by these cinnabar brothers, but also more and more appreciated by the emperor.
On the auspicious day selected by Shangli, the renovated Prime Minister's mansion was decorated with lanterns. The gold, silver, jewelry and silk sent by the emperor simply envied many deep cabinet ladies. This is the emperor's favor and the face of the cold prime minister.
In a room in the inner house, Leng Xuanrong wore a big red dress and sat alone in front of the mirror.
There was a lot of noise outside, but she seemed to be outside.
Everything now is more like a dream for Leng Xuanrong.
After sitting for a long time, I was busy again. Many maids wandered around Leng Xuanrong, and even the little girl who was usually silent kept her words hurriedly.
When the lantern first came on, the tedious ceremony began in the Prime Minister's mansion. Leng Xuanrong was led by the maid to make all kinds of salutes, but she always couldn't see the expression of Brother Yan Liang because she was covered with a big red cover. Leng Xuanrong felt a little sorry. If they flew away at this time, maybe in a shabby house, maybe there was only her father outside Yan Liang, but when they fell to the ground and knelt down, she must see Yan Liang's expression.
Until she was sent back to the bridal chamber, Leng Xuanrong was still thinking about these messy things.
I don't know how long it took. The heavy red cover was slowly lifted, and the candle flashed. Leng Xuanrong finally saw the face of the person she was most familiar with.
"Xuanrong, thank you for your hard work on this day."
The soft voice sounded in Leng Xuanrong's ear, and a sweet sound surged in Leng Xuanrong's heart.
The room is full of red ornaments, red candles swaying, and even the bed they are sitting on is full of red bedding.
This is natural, and today is a day of great joy.
Leng Xuanrong cried with joy, and his eyes were a little blurred. After so many hardships and pains, she finally married Yan Liang today.
Zeng Yanliang's face was also full of happiness. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Leng Xuanrong's eyes. He no longer had to bear it. He stretched out his arm and held Leng Xuanrong tightly in his arms.
"Xuanrong, from now on, you don't have to suffer or be afraid anymore..."
Leng Xuanrong leaned in Zeng Yanliang's arms, and the warmth in Zeng Yanliang's arms gradually calmed all her uneasiness. She finally smiled faintly and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Many things in my heart seemed to have been put down by Leng Xuanrong in an instant.
Suddenly, he was a little tired. Leng Xuanrong hugged the big red brother Yan Liang and slowly closed his eyes.
