Qi Yuning couldn't sleep at all in the carriage. When she closed her eyes, she saw her parents.
Outside, her mother was a female general galloping on the battlefield, but in Qi Yuning's heart, her mother was the gentlest.
Her father is not as strict as a military commander, and he often hugs her.
But these memories have long been blurry.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling with tears in her eyes. The early death of her parents would be her lifelong regret.
Lu Ze reached out and wiped away Qi Yuning's tears, "Go to sleep."
Qi Yuning slowly closed her eyes. Perhaps she was extremely tired, and she fell asleep for a while due to the bumps of the carriage.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and it was still nearly three hours away from the Prince's Mansion in Quan Town.
By the time we arrived at the palace, it was already evening.
In Prince Qi's Mansion, more than ten carriages ready to return to Beijing have been prepared.
Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning and Lu Ze returning and said, "You are finally back. You will return to Beijing tomorrow. We should wait until we have the opportunity to go to this desert in the future."
Lingling threw herself into Qi Yuan's arms and said excitedly: "Uncle, Lingling has seen the desert. Lingling even slid down the sand slope. It's so fun!"
Qi Yu'an touched Lingling's little head and said, "You are more courageous than your mother. Your mother did not dare to slide down the sandy slope when she was a child. She had to be held by her parents to dare to slide."
Qi Yuning had already forgotten this matter, "Has this happened before?"
Qi Yu'an said: "You were not even two years old at that time. I remember clearly that you were so scared that your parents held you in their arms before you dared to slide down. Originally, your parents said they would wait until you were older before they could play, but it's a pity... …”
Qi Yuning lowered her eyes. It was a pity that she had grown up, but she no longer had her parents.
Lingling said: "Lingling also wants her parents to hold Lingling and skate. Lingling will skate with her mother, and she won't be afraid anymore!"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and chuckled: "Lingling is so good!"
Qin Feng came out of a carriage behind him and walked up to Qi Yu'an, bowing his hands and saying, "Qin Feng pays homage to Prince Qi."
Qi Yu'an looked at Qin Feng and said, "It's the Minister of Qin. Why did the Minister of Qin come all the way to Beicheng?"
Qin Feng said: "I was entrusted by Lu Ze to investigate the embezzlement of military rations 14 years ago."
Qi Yuan frowned and looked at Qi Yuning and Lu Ze. Qi Yuning informed Qi Yuan about General Ren and Huo An lurking in the Shu Palace.
……
In Wen Mansion.
Although he was marrying his daughter, Wu Xiong had no place to live, so the happy event was held in the Wen family. After the auspicious time, the bride did not come out for a long time.
Wu Xiong then faced Wen Ban who was sitting high in the hall and said, "Father-in-law, why doesn't Yalan come out?"
Wen Ban clenched his hand and said, "Maybe there is something wrong. Just wait a moment and let me go and have a look."
Wen Ban walked into Wen Yalan's room, which was in a mess.
Mrs. Wen cried when she saw Wen Ban coming in: "You, you, why did you let your daughter marry that clay-legged man? This really brings shame on our Wen family. If that clay-legged man is my son-in-law, I would rather Yalan It’s okay to die.”
Wen Yalan looked at Wen Ban and said, "Dad, if I don't marry him, I will never marry him even if I die!"
Wen Ban was so angry that he slapped Wen Yalan angrily, "Marriage is a major matter. Parents order the matchmaker. If dad tells you to marry Wu Xiong, you must marry him!"
Wen Yalan covered her hands and said, "Dad! I am your biological daughter, how could you be willing to push me into a pit of fire!"
Mrs. Wen said: "That Wu Xiong, let our daughter marry him, will we be able to hold our heads high in Beicheng in the future? The general's marriage is very inappropriate!" Wen Ban asked the maids and slaves to go down and lowered his head. She said in a loud voice: "If Yalan doesn't marry Wu Xiong, our whole family will die! By then our Wen family will be guilty of destroying the nine clans!"
Mrs. Wen said: "How could it be?"
Wen Yalan also forgot to cry for a while.
Wen Ban said: "It's a long story. I didn't expect that Wu Xiong was still alive. He had a fatal piece of evidence in his hands. As long as Yalan marries him, he and we are like grasshoppers on a rope. Only then can we keep him alive." The lives of our entire family!"
Wen Yalan cried: "Dad, what evidence does he have in his hands? Can't we kill him to silence him?"
Wen Ban said: "Back then, I tried to kill him once. I thought he was dead long ago. Who knew he had been alive for more than thirteen years? He has important evidence. Now he naturally doesn't believe me. If I dare If he is silenced, as long as he does not contact the messenger for three days, the messenger will hand over the evidence to King Qi, so how can I dare to silence him?"
Wen Yalan said: "King Qi will leave Beicheng tomorrow. We sent people to watch the door of Prince Qi's mansion, and the evidence cannot be handed over to Prince Qi. Dad, Dad, I don't want to marry Wu Xiong!"
Wen Ban said: "Yalan, I can't gamble with the lives of the entire Wen family! You can only marry Wu Xiong!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wen stopped helping Wen Yalan. She only advised Wen Yalan: "Lan Lan, listen to your father! Your brother and brother cannot die. If the whole clan is wiped out, we will not be able to survive. , Our Wen family can’t have a divorce, Lanlan, mother, kneel down and beg you!”
Mrs. Wen cried and knelt down in front of Wen Yalan and kowtowed.
Wen Yalan shed tears, and the hot tears ran across the swollen face that had been beaten just now, "I don't want to marry, dad and mom, I don't want to marry!"
Wen Ban also knelt down towards Wen Yalan and said: "Yalan, your mother and I are kneeling down to beg you. Just do it and marry Wu Xiong for the sake of the whole family!"
Seeing the parents in front of her, Wen Yalan said with tears in her eyes: "Okay, I'll marry! I'll marry!"
Wen Yalan put on a red wedding dress, went out with red eyes, and saw Wu Xiong with a goatee and a fishy smell on his body. She suppressed nausea.
Wu Xiong smiled happily when he saw the young girl in front of him, "Madam, let's go to the bridal chamber quickly!"
Wen Yalan endured her nausea and went into the bridal chamber with Wu Xiong.
Wu Xiong saw the fair-skinned and beautiful Wen Yalan in front of him and said, "I never thought that Wu Xiong could be so lucky."
Wen Yalan looked at Wu Xiong coldly and said: "I have married you, and we are on the same boat. Shouldn't you destroy the evidence against my father? After all, if the evidence is leaked..."
Wu Xiong held Wen Yalan in his arms and said, "Let me give you a kiss."
Wen Yalan held back her nausea and said, "Go and destroy the evidence!"
Wu Xiong smiled and said: "Don't worry, this spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. No matter what, we have to become husband and wife before destroying the evidence..."
Wu Xiong pushed Wen Yalan down on the bed.
"Destroy the evidence first, and it's not too late before we get married!" Wen Yalan smelled the stench and felt extremely disgusted. She pushed Wu Xiong repeatedly and said, "Let me go!"
Wu Xiong touched Wen Yalan's thin skin and tender flesh and said, "She is really our daughter, just different from Sister Yao."
When Wen Yalan saw that he compared her to a kiln sister, she was extremely angry. She touched the dagger under the pillow and stabbed Wu Xiong!
Wu Xiong held Wen Yalan's hand and said, "You bitch! You still dare to kill me?"
Wen Yalan let go of the dagger in her hand, and Wu Xiong lost his guard. Unexpectedly, Wen Yalan took out a pair of scissors and stabbed him hard in the throat, causing blood to spurt out.
Wen Yalan held the scissors tightly with both hands and looked at Wu Xiong who fell on the ground, trembling constantly.
"Boom!"
The door was kicked open, and when Wen Yalan saw Qi Yuning and Lu Ze leading troops inside, she threw away the scissors in her hand.
Seeing Wu Xiong lying on the ground, Lu Ze went over and put his hand on the pulse of Wu Xiong's neck, and said to Qi Yuning: "He has expired."
