Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 165
[Chapter 125 (2)]
You have repeatedly ruined my business, I have worked hard to set up a situation to deal with Zhuang Mu, one of the eyeliners of the Peng family left in Chang’an, but you have discovered on the spot that Zhuang Mu was framed. I tried my best to suppress Song Jian and Zheng Shujie, but you followed the vine to find out that The Jing Dust Master was the Haoyue Scattered Man of that year. I managed to hold Wu Qi, who was bent on being a princess, but you used her to lay a trap to catch Lu Zhaoan and Wang Mi. I laid it out carefully, and you pressed it step by step. If it weren’t for the repeated twists and turns, I wouldn’t have repeatedly lost soldiers; If I am not afraid of accidents, why should I use the scorching qi between heaven and earth to make a fuss?
Lin Chengyou suddenly smiled and said, “Speaking of Wu Qi, I almost forgot, you have no exhaustive strategy, even our relatives will not let go.” You should know how Ah Qi treats you, but in order to control the Eastern Palace in the future, you know that Wu Qi is ambitious and wants to help her become a princess. On that day, you suddenly said in front of the imperial court that you mentioned the matter of marrying a wife in order to force me to ask teng Yuyi to marry teng Yuyi as soon as possible? In
the face of Lin Chengyou’s persecution, the King of Chun’an Junjun looked up with his hands down, and his idyllic expression seemed to be chatting with Lin Chengyou.
“And think about it.” He looked back at Lin Chengyou indifferently, “If you can use a robber to tie up the Chengwang Mansion and Qingyun Temple on the night of the incident, it will add a little more chance of success, at that time we have almost determined that Teng Niangzi is robbed, and then I have to confirm the weight of Teng Niangzi in your mind.” You care more about her than I thought.
Lin Chengyou smiled, and the laughter was not only indignant, but also a little sad.
“But if I’m not mistaken, you initially plotted your own affair with Teng Yuyi.”
The air was silent, and the King of Chun’an County stopped.
“On the night of my birthday, Teng Yuyi went to the Zhixu Pavilion in Xiyuan in order to send me a purple jade saddle, it happened that you were also nearby, there was no one in the four places, you met her, when you left, you kindly reminded her that the sachet fell off, this scene fell in the eyes of others, it is very easy to misunderstand, I only thought it was a coincidence, but now think about it, Uncle Huang, you have always been smart and sensitive, and you will never fall into the truth when you don’t want to be misunderstood, so that night, you are deliberate, You want me to misunderstand that you have an affair with Lady Teng, and then dispel the idea of her. King
Chun’an said frankly, “At that time, I had this idea, if for nothing else, it was for her father to be Teng Shao, if she could successfully marry Teng Yuyi, in the future, when I took advantage of the chaos, it would be difficult for Teng Shao’s town navy not to be used by me.” Unfortunately, Lady Teng is not easy to grasp, and she is also a person who should be robbed, and after knowing that she frequently provokes evil spirits, I completely dispelled this idea. As soon as the Well of The Underworld is opened, this kind of robber is the biggest target to attract the object, instead of bothering to please her, why not use this to make a fuss? Lin Chengyou stabbed
in his heart and laughed sarcastically again: “Unfortunately, you have calculated everything, and you have not been able to calculate that in the end, It is Teng Yuyi who has made you fall short.” The
figure who jumped into the Well of Shadows was the biggest surprise in the whole game. The two of them were silent at the same time, the snow outside the window abused the wind, the wind blew the window edges huffing, the vast wind sound, it seemed to be able to swallow everything between heaven and earth, that night when the monsters were in chaos, Chang’an City was also so dark. After a moment of regret, the king of Chun’an County sighed: “In this world, the most difficult thing to calculate is the human heart…”
This sigh, there are regrets, there are sorrows, but there is no remorse.
Lin Chengyou’s expression became a little strange. Standing in front of him did not seem to be a living person, but an insurmountable iceberg.
His heart was hurt to the extreme, but a sense of absurdity was born, and in order to confirm that this was not a dream, he held out his right hand and groped forward.
“You hate my grandmother?” After a moment’s pause, Lin Chengyou withdrew his hand, turned his head, and confirmed the location of the King of Chun’an County, “That night Haoyue was defeated, you risked exposing flaws and sent more than thirty dark guards to snatch her soul, and this is still true for an outsider, it can be seen that you are not a person without a heart, but you are particularly ruthless to your brothers and sisters-in-law and saints, I remember that in the past few years you have been getting along with them very well, since when did you have such a deep hatred for them?” King
Chun’an was still wandering around the temple, with no intention of answering.
“For Choi?”
As soon as these words came out, The King of Chun’an County seemed to have been kicked to the sore spot by someone, turned his head, and showed a mocking look.
“I remember that Cui Shi had been imprisoned in the old mansion in Nancheng, when I was a child, I secretly went to see her because of curiosity, and as a result, my grandfather’s men were arrested before I entered the door, and when I went back, my grandfather scolded me-”
The King of Chun’an County looked cold and suddenly interrupted Lin Chengyou: “There are too many things you don’t know!” In
just a moment, he was as cold as if he had become another person.
“You are the son of Kyauk kyauk, I am Twilight Micro-Walker, what has happened in the past few years, do you know how many?” King Chun’an sneered, “Speaking of your seven-year-old fall from a horse, you do remember that I was injured at the same time as you, but you probably don’t know that during the time when I was recuperating, the only person who came to visit me was your grandmother.” Your grandfather, my father, never looked at me from beginning to end.
Lin Chengyou’s words were like a sharp blade, suddenly cutting through the layers of camouflage that had been wrapped around the junwang for many years, he still stood in place, but the whole person was like a lake hiding terrifying waves, and could no longer maintain the appearance of calm.
He sneered, “You only know that you rarely saw me when I was a child, but do you know that when I was two years old, I was thrown into the courtyard by my father and king?” When you are enjoying the joy of the world, the only people who accompany me are the nurses and the next person.
“I was like a trace of shame in the heart of the Father, thrown far away by him. He never came to see me, nor did he allow me to go to the Lan King’s Mansion to ask for peace. Except for the New Year’s Festival, I am not allowed to walk outside. When you and the crown prince were studying at the Chongwenguan, I didn’t even know where the gate of the Guozijian was, and in order to meet me less, my father only invited all the famous teachers to teach me in the other courtyard. When I was young, I didn’t understand why my father suddenly hated me so much, but when I was older, I understood that all this was because my mother had made a mistake. The father refused to leave her for the sake of the face of the royal family, and only confined her to another place for many years. I wanted to visit my mother, but I couldn’t even get in the door. I went to ask my eldest brother for help, but he stood by and watched. Speaking
of this, he looked back at Lin Chengyou coldly: “This is the so-called family affection? Lighter than water and colder than ice. Since then, I have known that your father is full of false benevolence and false righteousness, but in fact he is ruthless and ruthless! Ironically
, the first time he was taken to visit his mother were two great evil people, Haoyue San and Wen QingShan. In order to escape the pursuit of the imperial court, they broke into the villa, and they hid for months, and one night a few months later, Xiao Minlang found their tracks.
Haoyue and Wenqing were very surprised at that time, saying that this child was the person with the best ear power they had ever seen, and they knew that it was because he could only tune the piano alone when he was lonely, and over time, the ear power was naturally much sharper than ordinary people. The world says that his ability to read and break the law is the first in the world, but I don’t know how many lonely nights he practiced.
“I grew up in the courtyard until I was six years old, and I made friends for the first time in my life.” King Chun’an said self-deprecatingly, “In order to survive, Wenqing and Haoyue changed their ways to please me.” Teaching me martial arts, teaching me Taoism, and teaching me how to hide my martial arts and internal strength in front of people, when he learned that I wanted to see my mother, he risked being discovered and took me out over the wall in the middle of the night. The world says they are the great evil men who do no evil, but in my heart, they are a hundred times more loyal than ‘good people’ like your father. “That’s
because they want to use you to get revenge on the saints.” Lin Chengyou said coldly, “Wuji Gate has harmed countless people, they are the first evil ones, without your protection, they would have been arrested and imprisoned a long time ago.”
“So what?” King Chun’an shouted, “When I was most lonely, where were those good people?” Haoyue was gone, and Wenqing lived in my cellar for fifteen years. They never asked me why I was living alone in the courtyard, nor did they talk about whether I was an ‘adulterous child’ behind my back. Only in front of them can I be free to be myself. I missed my mother day and night, but no one around me would help me, if it were not for Wenqing and Haoyue, I might not have seen her until my mother died. At
the mention of his mother, Chun’an Junwang’s expression became bitter and vicious.
Before meeting his mother, his feelings for her were extremely complicated. Admittedly, he missed her deeply, in the child’s heart, no one in the world could replace the role of mother, although the mother and son were forced to separate very early, he vaguely remembered how his mother affectionately called him “Toshiro”.
But he alsoHate her.
He was still too young to understand who had caused all this, and if he wanted to come and go, he could only blame his mother, and if his mother had not made a mistake, their mother and son would not have been separated.
However, these indescribably complex emotions were drowned out by ecstasy and longing at the moment they saw their mother.
His mother was ecstatic and took him into her arms and cried silently, and he sobbed in the crook of his mother’s arm for half a night, only to be taken away by Haoyue and Wenqing at dawn.
When he was older, his mother told him that she had not betrayed his father, the king, and that she had been framed by her eldest son, Lin Xiao, and that she had only met a few times in private with her old friend named Zeng Nanqin, and that she had no personal affair from beginning to end. The reason why the father treated him coldly was because he suspected that he was Zeng Nanqin’s illegitimate son, and as long as it could be proved that she did not have a head and tail with Zeng Nanqin, the father would treat him as well as before.
Compared with this, Lin Min hoped that his mother could return to the Lan King’s Mansion, but because of her mother’s words, he began to search for the truth.
“This investigation is nearly ten years. Not to mention that it has happened several years ago, how can it be proved that a woman and a man are not selfless? But I firmly believe that my mother will not lie to me again. When I was sixteen years old, my wings were gradually growing, and after Haoyue Sanren took over the Jade Virgin’s Crown View in place of Jingchen Shitai, I had a large amount of silver in my hand, and I took advantage of the regular silver allocated to the other courtyard every year by the Lan King’s Mansion to secretly raise my own people and horses with the cooperation of Haoyue and Wenqing. That is also the year, I found a survivor of the original jade corpse rebellion, this person named Chun Qiao, was imprisoned on the death row of Dali Temple, she did not remember who were on the mountain, but recognized the portrait of Zeng Nanqin, she said that she personally heard this person say to the jade corpse that he was a child man, in front of the jade corpse, no one dared to lie, Chun Qiao also said that Lin Xiao and Qu Qinyao were also on the mountain at that time, and they could also testify about this matter. King Chun’an’s
face was gloomy as if it were going to rain: “Until that moment, I didn’t know that my brother and sister-in-law had always known the truth, but in the past few years they not only let my father doubt my bloodline, but also let the people of Manchang’an say behind my back that I was an ‘adulterous son’.” I know that my eldest brother has never liked me much because of my mother, but even if my father and king did not allow them to come to see me, they also sent me food and clothing every three to five minutes, and for this care, I was only grateful to them and did not have half a hatred, until I learned the truth, I did not know that they were more hypocritical and disgusting than all the monsters in this world!
On
that day, with all this he had found, he rushed to the Lan King’s Mansion to see his father, who was already bedridden and sick, and when he saw all the evidence presented by his younger son, he only waved his hand lightly.
“Go ahead.”
Lin Min was like a basin of cold water poured down from his hood, and suddenly froze on the side of the bed, father Wang Mingming read these evidences, why was he still so cold to him?
Immediately after that, he heard his father and king ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law to enter the house, and at that moment he fully understood in his heart that it was because the eldest brother proved that his mother and Zeng Nanqin had “had an affair”, and his mother had fallen into today’s field.
Xu is the eldest brother who has recently shown his father more evidence, so the father does not believe him and his mother. After all, the father and king are naturally more willing to believe the older son’s words than the younger son, who has always been disgusted.
His efforts became a joke.
Not long after that, the father died of illness. My mother’s body had long since collapsed after being imprisoned for many years, and the reason why she struggled to support her was just to look forward to seeing my situation turn around one day, and I heard that my father would not forgive her until he died, and he died in mourning. Lin Min’s tone was as cold as iron, “You ask me why I am cold and ruthless to your grandmother, why don’t you ask them why they don’t have the slightest compassion for me?” My mother bore a lifetime of stigma, and I was buried in the mud, and all this was due to your father!
No matter where he went, he could always hear those noble ladies quietly talking about him behind his back: “People are good, but it’s a pity that there is a woman like that.” “Whether
it is the old prince’s flesh and blood is really difficult to say.”
These words were like poisoned arrows, piercing into his chest again and again.
“I knew for a long time that I was in a very different situation than you. Your grandmother treated me kindly on the face, but in fact, she was fake. Qing Xuanzi scolded a few of you, but treated me very politely. The saint and Empress Liu said that they treated us equally, but when it came time to say goodbye, she picked for you either the descendants of Wang Zheng Andengwu or the thousands of gold of the strong people in the field, but when it was my turn to pick for me, she was always the daughter of some low-ranking officials and nobles from other places. These hypocrisies and hypocrisy, I have long been disgusted. Lin Min laughed violently, but the laughter was colder than the wind and snow outside, “No one will stand up and explain everything that year, no one will loudly tell the world that my mother has not betrayed my father, I know better than anyone in my heart, I want these people to shut up, unless I alone in Chang’an City have the final say!” I almost succeeded—”
He looked sharply at Lin Chengyou, and Qingjun’s face was full of regret.
“Up to now, what makes me most sorry is not the failure, but the fact that so many people died that night, but that your grandmother escaped by chance!”
That grim demeanor made him look like he was the same as usual.
A large palace, for a time only the rough breathing of the Chun’an Junwang could be heard.
In the silence of this suffocating person, Lin Chengyou was silent for a while, and slowly took out a small sac from his arms and put it on the table: “Before coming, the father and king asked me to bring these things to you.” This letter on the top is the sonata of the grandfather who wrote to the saint to crown you as the ‘King of Chun’an County’. The rest are the embroidery work your mother did and some of the letters she wrote when she was in her boudoir.
Lin Min did not react when she heard the previous sentence, but when she heard the last sentence, she was frightened, and quickly walked to the table, picked it up and opened it.
As soon as he saw the words on the letter, a look of shame and consternation flashed on his face.
“When your mother confided in the letter to her close friend, she said that there was already a lang jun in her heart, but unfortunately, that lang jun mendi was too noble and never looked at her squarely, and she was in pain for this, and in order to distract her from lovesickness, she did a lot of embroidery work for that lang jun without permission.” She had not sent a single letter, and the embroidery was all hidden in her boudoir. At that time, your mother was engaged to her cousin Zeng Nanqin, but she suddenly repented of her marriage for no reason, and soon after married into the Lanwang Mansion as a daughter of the Cui family. After your mother got married, the more Zeng Nanqin thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he sneaked into your mother’s boudoir to get back the love items he had given her, only to inadvertently search for these letters and embroidery work, and at that moment he understood that your mother was willing to make a stepmother not only for the wealth of the Lan Dynasty Palace, but for other reasons.
Lin Min stared dead at those embroidery jobs, and his clear eyes seemed to be able to bleed for a moment. Those embroidered alive, without exception, embroidered with the word “effect”.
“My grandfather hated your mother very much, but because he pitied you, he had already told his grandfather about the jade corpse fighting on the mountain that day, and his grandfather treated you and your mother coldly, not because he suspected that you were not his son, but for other reasons.” In order to clear up the relationship between himself and the Cui family, Zeng Nanqin entrusted these things to his grandfather in prison. At that moment, my grandfather understood Cui’s original intention of marrying into the Lan King’s Mansion, perhaps deeply ashamed, before my grandfather died, not only did he treat Cui’s mother and son coldly, but also treated my grandfather as very estranged. This, with your sensitivity, should have been aware of it in the first place.
“After Grandpa became a relative, he took my aunt to live in the Chengwang Mansion, and my grandfather stayed alone in the Lanwang Mansion for many years, and my grandfather did not even let my grandfather go to the Lanwang Mansion to ask for peace in order to see my grandfather rarely.” Therefore, I did not dare to go to my grandfather, and I was closer to my grandfather since I was a child–my grandfather lived as unhappy as your mother and son in his later years. Grandfather was tormented by the demons of the heart for a long time, until his deathbed, he was relieved, he deeply regretted that he had treated you coldly because of the Cui family, so he wrote down the letter for you to ask for the king’s will, saying that he was willing to leave all his food and fief to his younger son, and also asked the saint to change the mansion of the Lan King’s Mansion to a new mansion for you to use as a king, so you were named the King of Chun’an County at the age of sixteen, and the food seal was far greater than that of the previous kings of this dynasty, and in order to block the mouths of the people, on the day of the promulgation of the will, they repeatedly emphasized that this was the grandfather’s will in front of the Manchu courtiers. Unfortunately
, Cui Shi had been under house arrest for so many years, and those unbearable rumors had already flown to every corner of Chang’an City, and with only one title, nothing could be changed, whether it was Lin Min or Chun’an Junwang, he could not avoid these gossip in his lifetime.
and once the seeds of hatred take root in the heart, the royal family’s actions of remedying afterwards naturally became a melancholy attitude in Lin Min’s eyes.
After saying these words, the surrounding area became unusually quiet, and in the main hall, something suddenly collapsed, and Lin Chengyou could not see things, but could only listen and feel quietly.
It was an almost frenzied emotion that could be shaken and infected just a short distance away.
After a moment of silence, Lin Chengyou got up slowly, left the pile of old things on the table, and walked out according to the sound.
I overheard a “tearing” sound behind me, as if pieces of paper had been torn apart.
Then there was another sound, so determined, so impatient, as if anxious to deny something. One after another, it was clear that the letters and cloth on the table were being viciously torn apart one by one.
Lin Chengyou only paused for a moment and then continued to walk forward.
The voice stopped abruptly, and Lin Min’s muffled laughter sounded behind it, the laughter was strangely twisted, and the madness was unchecked.
In the quiet wide hall, the humiliating laughter continued to echo, getting bigger and bigger, more and more piercing.
Lin Chengyou couldn’t help but stop.
Lin Min smiled intermittently and squeezed a sentence out of her teeth with pity: “… You even lied to me… Ah Niang… My life… My whole life……… Worth!! Lin Chengyou’s
heart was cold, love and hate, and this moment was all empty. Pushing open the door of the temple, snowflakes came rushing towards them, and the sound of the gushing wind and snow instantly overshadowed the painful laughter in the hall.
In the vast heavens and the earth, only the snowflakes were as clean as ever, and Lin Chengyou did not stop and went straight along
