Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Yanhe left, the sky gradually dimmed, and Lin Shuanghe was leaving too. Before leaving, he told Xiao Jue: “You remember to give Sister He the medicine. After drinking the medicine, she should wake up soon. I will come again tomorrow, Huai Jin, don’t worry too much.”

Lin Shuanghe was sent away. Although He Sui and He Yunsheng were also worried about He Yan, Xiao Jue was guarding before He Yan collapsed, and it was difficult for them to come in. He Suisheng took He Yunsheng away.

The medicine in the bowl gradually cooled down. Xiao Jue helped He Yan up, took the medicine and carefully scooped a spoonful into her mouth. The medicine juice flowed out along the corner of He Yan’s mouth. He hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and took the handkerchief. Zi wiped the medicine marks on He Yan’s lips, frowning slightly.

He Yan’s face is still pale. She has always had a big heart. She is always smiling. It is the kind of cheerful temper who can tell people around you not to worry even if she is seriously injured. Uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hand, gently stroked the top of He Yan’s hair, turned his head to look at the bowl of medicine that was about to be cold on the desk, paused for a moment, and finally made up his mind, picked up the medicine bowl again, and took a sip.

The girl on the collapsed girl closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes were softly hanging down, showing a bit of fragility that was not there in the past. The young man’s eyes were fixed on the collapsed man, her body was a little stiff, struggling for a while, and finally she slowly bent over and bowed her head. On her lips.

The concoction is not hot anymore, the warmth is just right, and his ears are already red after feeding a bowl of medicine. He took a sigh of relief before sitting up straight and covering He Yan’s quilt.

The matter of whether you are a gentleman or not has never been in Xiao Jue’s consideration. In the past, he acted entirely according to his own mind, and only when he was concerned about the woman in front of him. I’m always afraid of making her feel conflicted.

Xiao Jue took out the empty medicine bowl. As soon as Fang went out, he saw a young man squatting under the eaves opposite the courtyard, drawing scribbles on the snow with branches.

It is He Yunsheng.

He Yunsheng saw Xiao Jue come out, his eyes brightened, Xiao Jue put the empty bowl into the kitchen, when he returned, He Yunsheng had already arrived in front of He Yan’s room, looked at Xiao Jue, he wanted to say nothing. .

Xiao Jue closed the door of He Yan’s room to prevent the wind from blowing in, before looking at He Yunsheng, “You have something to tell me?”

He Yunsheng swallowed.

He used to admire Xiao Jue very much. I’m afraid the young men in the city of Shuojing are just like him. When did it change? Probably from that day when He Yan was on the river in Chunlai and charged him with killing Fan Cheng, and led the chasers alone. He Yunsheng suddenly realized that just admiring and admiring others is useless. Only when you are strong can you protect He Yan, He Sui, and the people you want to protect. Instead of focusing on someone far away, it’s better to spend more time improving yourself.

Later, He Yan returned, became Wu’anhou, and brought back a fiance.

This fiance is Xiao Jue.

In fact, He Yunsheng was not hostile to Xiao Jue. The so-called resistance was only due to He Yan’s tension. He Yan almost lost his life for Fan Cheng, so I don’t know if Xiao Jue is another Fan Cheng? No one can say this clearly.

But today he also saw that He Yan fainted. Xiao Jue stood in front of He Yan’s collapse, wiped her hands, dried her medicine, and never left. He thought that Xiao Jue should like his sister, and he likes it. , Deeper than he and He Sui imagined.

“Duke Xiao,” the young man said nervously and resolutely, “Will you always treat He Yan like this?”

Xiao Jue glanced at him unexpectedly, then silently replied: “Yes.”

“My elder sister… is very different from other women.” He Yunsheng thought for a while before speaking slowly: “No one can stop what she wants to do, and no one can force what she doesn’t want to do. .”

“But she is a good person, don’t hurt her.” He Yunsheng said: “If you hurt her, I…” The young man said solemnly: “Even if I pay all the price, I have to ask for an explanation for her.”

Xiao Jue looked at him for a long while, then smiled, “Yes.” After a pause, he said again: “But you shouldn’t have this opportunity.”

He Yunsheng also smiled, “This is a conversation between our two men. After He Yan wakes up, don’t tell her.”

Xiao Jue looked down at the accumulation of snow on the ground. The snow in the yard hadn’t been swept away, and it was covered with a thin layer. He asked He Yunsheng, “You care about He Yan?”

The teenager instinctively wanted to refute, but when the words reached his lips, he sighed, “She is my sister.”

It’s my sister. Although she grew up, she always bullied him, scolded him, snatched his favorite pastries, and always wanted to complain to He Sui. But she would also stand in front of him, silently protecting him.

Apart from He Sui, they are the closest people in this world. How could he not care?

“This is very good,” the young man said quietly: “You will always care about her so much in the future.”

“Of course I will always care about her.” He Yunsheng said, and couldn’t help but glance at the young man standing beside him again. For some reason, the previous worries suddenly disappeared a lot.

Xiao Jue… is a different person from Fan Cheng.

…

He Yan had a long dream.

In the dream, she was still the same as she was when she was a child, wearing a mask. At that time, she hadn’t gone to Xianchang Hall to study, and was a poor creature who could only stay in the house except for sneaking out of the dog hole every day. One morning, she brought in water from the monks of the Donghuang Mountain Gang. When she went back from the dog hole, she accidentally ran into the servant of Yexiang who had gotten up early in the house. She turned her head in fright and ran away, accidentally hitting someone. Body.

This person’s skirt is very fragrant, like a flower in spring, fragrant and nostalgic, and her voice is also soft, with a little smile.

Pulled her from the ground with one hand.

The lady’s eyebrows were somewhat similar to her, and she looked at her with a gentle look, and brought her to her side, hiding her figure. After the few people left, she gently patted He Yan’s hand and whispered: “It’s okay, be careful.”

He Yan was wearing a mask, and the other party could not see her face, but she thought, at that time, her face under the mask must be dull and full of desire to get close.

The woman turned and left. He Yan followed behind, trying to call her a mother, but for some reason, she was so close, but she couldn’t keep up. She saw the woman go further and further, until she disappeared. In her sight. She fell to the ground in embarrassment, sad and wronged in her heart, and couldn’t help crying “Wow”.

“He Yan?” Someone seemed to be calling her name.

He Yan opened his eyes and met Xiao Jue’s concerned gaze. She felt cold on her face, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand, but it was full of tears.

In an instant, she understood everything.

The events on the Tianxing Stage recurred in her mind. She closed her eyes, unavoidable pain, and came overwhelmingly.

“My mother, she…” Tears rolled down as soon as she uttered a word.

He Yan originally thought that although she and Mrs. He were named as mothers and daughters, there was no love between them. In those years when she yearned for the care of her mother, Mrs. He was always missing. Not to mention resentment, but there are more or less complaints. Even since she was reborn, she had never known what kind of attitude to face Madam He second again. Today, there is no such opportunity anymore.

“Your Majesty allowed me to bury the second wife of He,” Xiao Jue said softly: “He Yan…” He couldn’t think of anything to comfort the girl in front of him, “Don’t bear it, just cry if you want.”

Cuiluo has been here once, telling the truth. Madam He had been preparing for today early in the morning, He Rufei did not feed her poison, the poison was hidden by herself. Mrs. He had already had the will to die, and with her body, she wouldn’t be able to live long. She and Cuiluo asked for a token to go to the Tianxing Terrace, and when the He family were not paying attention, she crawled out of the dog hole that He Yan had dug at the beginning, and rushed all the way to the Tianxing Terrace, just to spend her life on He Yan tired. The last piece of evidence.

The so-called transaction with Xiao Jue was her last life-saving talisman for He Xinying, and it was also the escape route she arranged for He Yan.

Xiao Jue never dismissed the method of calculating people’s hearts in the woman’s back home, but Madam He’s method was not very clever. She wanted to create the illusion that she was partial to He Yan, but couldn’t help but care about He Yan. In the end, she sacrificed her life to clarify the grievances of He Yan in her previous life. A mother would never do this step unless she loved her daughter.

It’s just… if this is her last wish, he is willing to cooperate with him and let her get the little satisfaction of her strategy.

Mrs. He’s life is involuntary, and there are few moments to decide her own destiny. She can’t decide her own birth, but she can decide her own death, using death to pave a way for her two daughters, even if she can’t see it at all.

He Yan choked up and said, “Xiao Jue, I don’t have a mother…I will have no mother in the future.”

The word mother, even though it does not exist many times in her life, but as long as it is there, there may be a glimmer of hope. But Mrs. He left, and she would never have a chance again in the future. The so-called fantasy between mother and daughter can only be an illusion forever, and there is no chance to realize it.

The heavens cruelly refused to even give her this opportunity and made her extremely regretful. The last time she was in Yuhua Temple, she didn’t say a few words to Madam He.

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes and stared at her, feeling uneasy in his heart. Of course he knew how uncomfortable He Yan felt at this moment, because he had done the same back then.

If it was the suffering of flesh and blood, he could have suffered on behalf of He Yan, but no one could bear the pain of losing a loved one for her.

“What did she say to you last?” He Yan asked.

At that time, only Xiao Jue was beside Madam He, and no one heard the conversation between them. She didn’t know what Madam He said when she died, but there was one sentence for her?

“She said,” Xiao Jue paused and spoke slowly, “Yanxi, who is in the lotus flower, can’t take it with you…”

“She loves you and hopes you will live well.”

He Yan forbeared sobs suddenly in the room.

I don’t know how long the room has been. He Yan wiped away the tears on his face, and his voice barely calmed down: “Xiao Jue, the emperor has checked He Xu’s second house, where is my sister He Xinying?”

“She has nothing to do with this matter, if…”

“I will explain this to the emperor, don’t worry.” Xiao Jue was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to hug her in his arms, and whispered: “He Yan, I will always be with you.”

…

In the palace.

In the hall of Concubine Lan, the fourth prince was staring at the burning candle in a daze.

“Are you here to stay in a daze?” Concubine Lan’s words brought back Guang Shuo’s thoughts.

Guang Shuo returned to his senses and said, “Mother concubine, I’m just thinking about what happened on the Tianxing platform today.”

Today’s incident shakes the court, and the entire Wei is shocked.

“Then General Feihong turned out to be a woman, who would have thought?” When Guang Shuo talked about this, he was still a little unbelievable, “It turns out that women can also fight wars, and they can also be great generals.”

“You, don’t underestimate the woman.” Concubine Lan raised the tea cup in front of her with a light voice, “You men are fighting in the battlefield, and the women are fighting in the back house. No one is more sad than anyone. Women in the world, What men can do, women can do. It’s just that there are too few people willing to be the first bird, Guang Shuo, you have to remember that if you underestimate women, you will definitely suffer a lot in the future.”

Guang Shuo said respectfully: “I remember it.” After a pause, he sighed again: “But the second Miss He, General Feihong, was conspired to death by her family in the end. The He family was too cruel, even My own daughter can do it all.”

Concubine Lan Gui smiled noncommitantly: “It’s not too late, the time has not arrived, the cause planted by the He family, isn’t it time to eat the evil fruit for oneself now?”

“Yes,” Guang Shuo heard the words, nodded and said: “At the moment, the emperor is investigating the second family of He Xu, and the evidence is solid. It is impossible for the He family to turn around. It can be regarded as a bit of comfort to the real General He under Jiuquan. Got it.”

Concubine Lan looked at him, smiling without saying a word.

“Mother concubine, what do you think the ministers do here?”

“What do you think about Xu Xiang?” Concubine Lan asked.

Guang Shuo was startled.

“Now that Xiao Huaijin and Xu Xiang have completely torn the skin. Since Xiao Huaijin sent Xu Xiang back to prison, he won’t let this opportunity pass. I think he has other evidence in his hands.”

“Erchen thinks so too.” Guang Shuo replied, “It’s just…”

“Just what?”

“Father, I’m afraid he will not be ruthless against Xu Xiang.”

“Your father, is a person who is old-fashioned.” Concubine Lan looked into the distance, “When the emperor first ascended the throne, it was Xu Xiang who helped him to sit firmly in that position. For Xu Xiang, he naturally saved a share of the monarchs and ministers that no one else had. Hmm. But your father is already old.”

Guang Shuo looked at the woman in front of him.

“An old emperor will make plans for the future. Even if your father is not as good as his words, he will not hope that Wei’s country will be destroyed in his hands. Whether it is for the prince or the future prince, the emperor will surely punish Xu Xiang. Guangshuo, if you want to fight, you must fight against Xiao Huaijin.”

“Speaking of the law of man is like the way of using soldiers, attacking the heart first. Xiao Huaijin is for the sake of his father’s redress.

Guang Shuo was silent for a while, and said: “Mother concubine, Erchen understands.”

“You are as kind as your father,” Concubine Lan looked at him gently, “I know you don’t like power and human minds, but Guangshuo, if you want to be an emperor, you must learn how to govern. This is not bad. You are born in the palace and you want to choose your own destiny. This must be the case. There is nothing in the world that has the best of both worlds. Look at your father, he has been smart for a lifetime. Now, isn’t he also restrained?”

Guang Shuo did not speak.

The oil of the candle dripped over the desk, like red tears. Quietly in the hall, only the lady’s sleeves were fragrant, and a layer of empty and cold air was engulfed.

…

Xiao Jue entered the palace in the middle of the night.

When the servant announced him into the imperial study room, Emperor Wen Xuan hadn’t rested yet. The memorials were all scattered on the table, and he didn’t want to look at it.

He is not a diligent monarch. Maybe he tried to do so in the first two years when he became the throne, but then he gave up. There are emperors who are striving to govern, and there are also mediocre kings. For the rest of his life, Emperor Wen Xuan felt that there was nothing wrong with being a mediocre emperor. What he wanted to do was to live a life like this plain and plain. When the time came, he would pass the throne to his son.

He has indeed lived like this for most of his life, and sometimes Emperor Wenxuan himself feels quite beautiful. He is not like his father, who is busy all day long, nor is he like the Emperor and the others, who are conquered and conquered by himself. He lived more easily than both of them, and lived longer than both of them.

Wasn’t the Great Wei good? As long as he was good at using people, military commanders guarded the country and civil servants ruled the affairs of the country, it was also a peaceful and prosperous age. To this day, all the truth he thought was overturned. Emperor Wen Xuan sat here and suddenly discovered that he hadn’t really been an emperor over the years.

He is not a talented emperor. If he was not born in the royal family, he would be more willing to be an idle prince, a son of an ordinary official, or even a son of a wealthy businessman. He has no big ambitions or talents. He just writes poetry and paints and enjoys the fun of the world. All right. Instead of sitting in this position, every action is related to the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people. If you don’t do it well, someone will scold him behind your back. If you do it well, others think that this is what he deserves.

An emperor who longs for freedom is a royal taboo. He hid his mind in the depths, but it turned out that everyone could see it.

Xiao Jue came in.

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at the young man in front of him.

He still remembers that when Xiao Zhongwu brought Xiao Jue to him for the first time, Xiao Jue was just a teenager, and he was so beautiful. He looked proud and had a little casual sloppy. It is very different from his gentle and polite older brother. At that time, Emperor Wen Xuan thought that Xiao Zhongwu, a martial artist, had two outstanding sons, which was really jealous.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Jue would have grown so big. The youth’s youth has all faded away, looking at his gaze, calm, respectful, and somewhat cold.

He suddenly remembered Xiao Zhongwu.

“In fact, looking at it now, you and your father still have some similarities.” Wen Xuan said.

He always felt that Xiao Jue looked like Mrs. Xiao with bright eyes, but in fact, his sharpness and calmness came from his father.

“Your Majesty, do you remember Weichen’s father?” Xiao Jue said calmly.

Emperor Wen Xuan was startled.

He thought that after a long time, his memory would be a little fuzzy, but when he remembered it, Xiao Zhongwu’s appearance was so clear. That tall man who always wore a golden armor and a sword was different from the civil servants in Chinese. It was like the wind from the northwest, harsh, wanton, and open-minded, making all those who yearn for freedom envy.

Emperor Wen Xuan also envied it.

But in the end Xiao Zhongwu died, and the Xiao family almost collapsed. If it hadn’t been for the young man in front of him to go to Guocheng with three thousand soldiers and horses, perhaps, there would be no Xiao family in today’s Great Wei.

He looked at Xiao Jue: “You hated me at the beginning?”

“Weichen dare not.”

Emperor Wen Xuan laughed lowly, not daring, it means there has been a past. In the whole world, only the man in front of him has the courage to say this in front of his own face, but he is not angry. Perhaps it was because, for many years, no one dared to speak the truth in front of him.

“The emperor,” Xiao Jue said: “Weichen begs the emperor to let go of the wife of Hanlin scholar Xu Zhiheng, He Xinying.”

“He Xinying?”

“The true General Feihong, Miss He Er, was a sister of a female compatriot.” Xiao Jue said: “After Miss He Er was conspired to drown in the pond, the He family married Miss He Er’s sister He Xinying and became Xu Zhiheng. He looked at Emperor Wen Xuan, “The second wife of He is dead. Grandma Xu is the only family member of General Feihong remaining in the world. Besides, the minister has already inquired that Grandma Xu exchanged views with General Feihong and He Rufei. I don’t know anything about my identity.”

“Your Majesty Rende, please take care of He Xinying for the sake of the dead General Feihong, and save her life.”

“General Feihong…” Emperor Wen Xuan murmured.

Everything on the Tianxing Station today is due to General Feihong. However, he did not expect that the Feihong he had personally entrusted was a woman.

At that time, when He Rufei took off his mask and revealed a handsome face, Emperor Wen Xuan was still wondering whether he had a birthmark and his ugly appearance was fake. Now it seems that since then, the He Family has started a scam to deceive the world.

If Miss He Er was still alive, Emperor Wen Xuan might still punish her, after all, she was also involved in deceiving the emperor. But Miss He died, and she died so miserably. People die like a lamp. No one remembers all the bad things in front of her. When looking at a dead person, people are always tolerant and feel that there is nothing wrong with her. .

“Fine, let her live.” Emperor Wen Xuan sighed, “After all, General Feihong had really charged for the Great Wei and put down the Xiqiang Rebellion.”

“On behalf of General Feihong, thank your majesty for the grace.”

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at Xiao Jue, but smiled, “I heard that you and General Feihong were classmates, so running for her, it seems that you are also a nostalgic person. If you know General Feihong, you should also be relieved.”

Xiao Jue said nothing, Emperor Wen Xuan waved his hand, “Go down.”

When the young man saluted and turned to leave, Emperor Wen Xuan stopped him again.

The emperor’s voice was deeply exhausted, “For so many years, I have treated Xu Xiang so kindly, why can Xu Xiang be rebellious?”

The waiter lowered his head and dared not speak.

After a while, the young man faintly spoke, “If you are too pampered, you will be arrogant, and you will become resentful. Perhaps, your Majesty has treated him too much.”
