Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 241

Chapter 241

Although Emperor Wenxuan allowed Xiao Jue to bury the second wife of He, the second wife of He was in the body of sin after all and should not be publicized.

On the day He Rufei and Xu Zhiheng executed their torture, the second wife of He entered the land for peace.

The tomb of Mrs. He’s was in a quiet forest on Donghuang Mountain in Beijing, where pear trees were planted everywhere. In the spring, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, and the birds are calm and beautiful. She is like all the noble ladies in the city of Shuojing. She was from her father at home and married to her husband. She was trapped in the four corners of the eaves all her life, unable to decide her own destiny.

Perhaps death is not necessarily a relief for her.

The stone tablet reads: So Xian Dehui Yun’s tomb.

Mrs. He’s surname was Yun, but now that he has passed away, He Yan made this stone inscribed. Even if he went underground, Mrs. He would never think about having any entanglements with the He family.

She squatted down in front of Madam He’s tomb, gently stroked the writing on the tablet, and whispered softly: “If there is an afterlife, mother must never be a woman, if she must be a woman…” She smiled. “It’s better for me to be a mother and mother to be a daughter.”

The two of them, mother and daughter, have no destiny in this life, and they haven’t even said a single good thing. From today onwards, in this world, knowing that she is He Yan, there is no one other than Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was standing a few steps away. The second wife of He was sensitive. Xiao Jue took the second wife and buried him at this time, already under the spit of countless imperial historians.

A woman’s voice sounded behind her: “You…”

He Yan looked back and saw He Xinying in a plain suit.

He Xinying was haggard a lot. The girl with a beautiful face and a beautiful face, now with thin and thin bones, had been crying for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen. She could see the faces of He Yan and Xiao Jue clearly, and she was stunned, standing a little uneasy. After staying in the same place for a long while, he said, “Supervisor Xiao, Girl He.”

“Xu…” He Yan suddenly stopped, “Miss He.” Xu Zhiheng is dead, there is no Xu family, and no grandma Xu.

He Xinying’s gaze fell on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, and for a moment, her voice choked up, “But my…mother?”

He Yan nodded slightly.

He Xinying stepped forward in two steps and knelt down in front of the tomb with a “pump”, holding the tombstone without letting go.

That day, a strange guard picked her up from the prison and sent her to the mansion of Wei Xuanzhang, the curator of Xianchang Pavilion. Wei Xuanzhang spent many years in the academy. His wife and little granddaughter were the only ones at home. Mrs. Wei took her very kindly and sympathized with her. After He Xinying settled down in Wei’s house, she gradually pieced together the ins and outs of the whole thing from her subordinates.

There is actually no difference from what she imagined.

All the incomprehensible things in the past were answered quickly. Why was the “big brother” wearing the mask always indifferent to himself, while the “big brother” who took off the mask was very patient and gentle with him. Just because the eldest brother wearing the mask is actually the dead “eldest sister”. She thought that the “eldest sister” who was recuperating on Zhuangzi was actually the real eldest brother.

No wonder the eldest sister went blind shortly after marrying into Xu’s family. There is no such a coincidence in the world, but it is only human. After the eldest sister passed away, her mother was seriously ill and depressed. The truth turned out to be so terrible and disgusting.

What about her?

The eldest sister is dead, her mother has left, the He family is gone, and the Xu family is gone. She was arranged by her biological father and married to Xu Zhiheng. She was also a substitute for the eldest sister, replacing the He family and Xu. This marriage of family is inseparable.

Where can she go now by herself? What can be done?

He Xinying cried bitterly while holding the tombstone, wishing that Mrs. He was still alive now, at least she still had some support, but right now, she was really helpless.

Suddenly remembered that He Yan, who was alone in Xu’s house back then, was the same. Pushed by his family into the abyss, he had no comrades to rely on. He couldn’t see the ugly expression on the face, and couldn’t guess. Sinister intention, so lonely and pathetic.

He Yan watched her crying sadly, hesitated, and finally walked to He Xinying’s side, bent down, and patted her back lightly.

She knew the feeling of being homeless better than anyone else, and she understood He Xinying’s feelings at this moment.

He Xinying cried for a long time before turning her head. He Yan handed her a handkerchief. She took it and said, “Thank you.” She looked at the tombstone and said, “This inscription…”

Like being carved by the mother in the name of the child…

“I engraved it.” Xiao Jue said indifferently: “Your eldest sister and I were classmates and carved the inscription on her behalf.”

He Xinying was taken aback, and whispered: “Thank you.” She turned to look at the tombstone with a complicated expression, “She really…even if she is not there, she can always protect me.”

In fact, she and He Yan, sister, hadn’t gotten along much, even if they had vaguely guessed the truth, they were shocked rather than angry. But now, at this time when no one can help, the warmth that the eldest sister left after her death is enough to make her feel a little bit of comfort. Whether Wei Xuanzhang or Xiao Huaijin is good, He Yan protects her a lot.

It would be fine if He Yan was still alive, and He Xinying suddenly wanted to know what kind of person He Yan was.

She had only a few contacts with He Yan, when she was wearing a mask before, and when she returned to the house later, He Yan got married in a hurry. She didn’t have time and had no chance to get to know He Yan. He Xinying thought, He Yan who can let these people help even after He Yan died, he must be a very good person thinking about her.

She shouldn’t be as weak as herself, able to find a way forward in despair.

“What are your plans in the future?” He Yan asked her.

He Xinying recovered, shook her head, and said blankly, “I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know how to move forward in the future.

“Don’t worry,” He Yan said softly, “You can think about it slowly, and then do it when you understand it.”

He Xinying smiled bitterly: “Can I still have a future?”

A woman who was once the wife of a criminal official, a woman who had her family collaborating with the enemy and treason, even if she survived by chance, what can she do? She also wanted to die with her family, but when she came to the end, she couldn’t give birth to that courage.

“Yes.” The woman in front of her looked at her and said warmly: “You are the daughter of Madam He, and the younger sister of General Feihong. You can do what she can do.”

He Xinying raised her head subconsciously and looked at He Yan.

This woman… she had seen it at Yuhua Temple before, but at that time she was all attracted by Xiao Huaijin next to her, so she didn’t take a closer look. On the contrary, Mrs. He said a few words with He Yan. Speaking of which, Wu Anhou in front of her is also very fate with her eldest sister. She is also a woman dressed as a man and entered the military camp with exactly the same name. Maybe it is just that, God wants to use her hand to vindicate her elder sister.

In He Xinying’s heart, she suddenly felt kind to the woman in front of her, even though they had never seen a few.

He Yan pulled her up from the ground, “I know you live in Mr. Wei’s house now. If you need help in the future, you can ask someone to tell me.”

“You… why are you so good to me?” He Xinying couldn’t help but ask.

He Yan smiled: “My fiancé once had classmates with your eldest sister. I should take care of you because of the feelings and reasons. Besides, there is only a younger brother in my family and no younger sister. In the future, you can regard me as me. Your sister. Although I am not as good as General Feihong,” she said, “I will take care of you for her.”

Inexplicably, He Xinying felt a sense of peace of mind in her heart. As if in a lonely and helpless giant wave, I finally found a small boat.

“Thank you,” she said in Nono.

“Go and incense the second wife of He first.” He Yan smiled.

…

After offering incense to the second wife of He and burning paper money, Xiao Jue and He Yan sent He Xinying back to Wei Xuanzhang’s mansion again. Seeing He Xinying entering the door, He Yan sighed lightly.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Jue asked her.

“I just feel a little distressed.” He Yan turned around and walked home with Xiao Jue. “I remember that when she was at the He’s house, she was very naive and lively. He Yuanliang—” She refused. He called out the word “father”, “I always loved her a lot. I used to be jealous of her, but in the end she was regarded as a victim of the He family.”

If He Yan grew up lonely since he was a child, and saw the coldness and ruthlessness of the He family early, it would not be difficult to accept the day when the truth emerged. But He Xinying has lived in a lie since she was a child. The little girl who was pampered and grown up will eventually find out the ugly truth in the world, and she will be especially broken when she thinks about it.

Xiao Jue comforted her: “She will come out.”

While walking, there are pedestrians passing by the side of the road, and they seem to be talking about the execution in the city today. He Yan heard people say: “When Xu Zhiheng was pushed to the execution stage, he was so scared to pee his pants, hahaha, it’s too funny!”

“He Rufei is even more miserable, one hundred and twenty dollars, it hurts even thinking about it.”

“Deserve it! Who made them do such unfaithful things? It’s a horrible thing! It’s just a pity that General Feihong, Dawei, who was born for so many years, is a woman, but he was harmed by them. Dead, your Majesty’s move is considered revenge for General Feihong.”

“This is called the wrongdoer and the debtor. It’s not that the time has not come to report.”

He Yan listened to the comments of the pedestrians in twos and threes, and was a little stunned for a while. She didn’t go to watch the punishment. For her, the guilty person gets retribution, and that’s it. Watching punishment does not make her happy, and revenge is not the purpose of her life. People should learn to look forward. Only by looking forward can there be a future.

“Xiao Jue,” He Yan said, “What are you going to do about Xu Xiang?”

Xiao Jue’s eyes paused slightly, and after a while, he said, “Almost, it’s now.”

…

The case of General Feihong went quickly from stabbing out to finding out the truth, and then to the guilty man defying the law. After all, if He is not a serious crime, it is understandable to deal with it this way. But Xu Xiang, who stayed for trial, made things a little awkward.

Xu Jingfu’s disciples are all over the court, although he dare not say directly, there are many people running for him these days. Most of them took the credit of Xu Jingfu when Emperor Wenxuan became the throne. He also said that only a few letters, He Rufei’s confession cannot be convicted, and Xu Jingfu was wronged.

But soon, Fengyun General Xiao Huaijin personally brought two people in the Hall of Jinluan, the survivors of the Battle of Mingshui, and a pair of brothers surnamed Luo. The Luo brothers, in front of the civil and military officials, told Emperor Wen Xuan the truth of the Mingshui battle. Xu Jingfu secretly colluded with Xiao Jiajun’s internal traitors and deliberately sent the military map to Nanman. The reason why Xiao Zhongwu Mingshui The disastrous defeat in World War I was not due to improper command. It was caused by Xu Jingfu’s people throwing cold arrows in the back, and the whole army was wiped out.

As soon as this remark came out, the imperial court was shaken up and down, and Emperor Wen Xuan flew into a rage in front of the ministers.

Everyone knows that in the Mingshui battle, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated tragically, and the Xiao family was almost depressed. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Huaijin’s determination to reenter the Southern Barbarian with three thousand soldiers and horses, now Dawei, there is no such thing as “General Fengyun”. .

After the Battle of Mingshui, the civil servants were accusing Xiao Zhongwu of being stubborn and self-contained, and of courage, and Xu Jingfu was the most condemned. Emperor Wen Xuan also let the Xiao family sit on the bench for a long time. Now that the truth is in broad daylight, Xu Jingfu is really manipulating it with one hand behind his back, to make the old ministry who used to follow Xiao Zhongwu chill, and second, it also makes people feel that the emperor Wen Xuan is really loyal. It is ridiculous and nonsensical.

Emperor Wenxuan was furious and ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Xu family.

In this way, everyone in the original Xu Dang is in danger, and the building will fall. Who cares about Xu Xiang or Xu Xiang, wishing to cut off all his past involvement with Xu Jingfu. At the same time, everyone was afraid of the legendary Jade-faced Governor, who had been dormant for so many years and had never given up investigating the matter. Who knows if there is any other evidence in Xiao Huaijin’s hands.

It is not easy to uproot an old tree that has been growing for many years, but looking at Xiao Huaijin’s momentum, it is clear that he will settle accounts after the fall, and he does not intend to spare any of it.

At the prince’s residence, Guang Yan walked around the hall fidgetingly.

The servants all knelt to one side and did not dare to respond. These days, the prince’s temper was getting worse and worse. A few days ago, he even beat the prince. Everyone knows who he is upset because of his anger. The prince has been with Xu for many years. Xu Xiang has always supported the prince. The downfall of Xu Xiang is tantamount to breaking his own arm. That’s all. But the old man was always treacherous and cunning. For so many years, there is no evidence in his hands. If he were to be pulled into the water together… the prince squeezed his fist, his expression became more and more gloomy, Guang Shuo would never let this opportunity go!

While on the Tianxing Stage, Guang Shuo contributed to He Rufei’s case. Now the He family and the Xu family have fallen. If the next one is Xu family’s turn, wouldn’t it be himself?

Wow, they are one or two, I’m afraid it’s a good day. If they were to succeed at this time, wouldn’t they fall short? But now that Emperor Wenxuan was angry, he couldn’t help Xu Jingfu at this moment. Besides, the evidence in the Mingshui case is conclusive, and it is now when Xiao Huaijin is proud of Chunfeng, he can only avoid his edge and dare not fight head-on.

Just thinking about it, a maidservant came in, walked up to him, and whispered: “His Royal Highness is worried about Xu Xiang?”

At this juncture, the only one who dared to come over and talk to him was the favored maidservant Ying Xiang.

Guang Yan glanced at Ying Xiang, but today he didn’t have the thought of flirting with the beauty, only said: “Yes.”

“I want the slave and maid to say, isn’t this a good thing?” Ying Xiang helped Guangyan sit down on the soft collapse, and gently pressed his shoulders, “His Royal Highness didn’t think that Xu Xiang stretched his hand too long. Now Xu Xiang has something wrong. Your Royal Highness should be less troublesome in the future.”

“What do you know?” Guang Yan said impatiently: “Xu Jingfu is from this palace! If something happens to him, this palace will be like breaking his own arm. The previous years of planning have all failed!”

“Is your Royal Highness worried that there will be no substitute for Xu Xiang after Xu Xiang is gone?” Ying Xiang smiled and said, “Isn’t Xu Xiang still a son-in-law? The fourth son of Chu has so many people with Xu Xiang, if he can protect himself this time… It’s not that I can’t take Xu Xiang’s position.”

Chu Zilan? Guang Yan was slightly startled.

He deliberately wanted to win over Chu Zilan, but these days there was one thing after another, and he also left Chu Zilan behind. Now, listening to Yingxiang’s reminder, it suddenly occurred to him that Maningbu said before at his house. If you have ever come.

“With the same means and connections, a young eagle is easier to train than an adult viper, isn’t it?”

Chu Zilan was taught by Xu Jingfu. Compared with Xu Jingfu’s viciousness, he seemed to be gentler and harmless, but he had done a lot for Xu Jingfu over the years. No one would underestimate him, otherwise he would be really incompetent. How could Xu Jingfu marry the pearl in his palm to Chu Zilan.

But… he moved his eyes to the beautiful face of the maid in front of him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Ying Xiang’s wrist, pulled her into his arms, and asked, “Chu Zilan is Xu Jingfu’s student, Xu Jingfu fell down, Chu Zilan Can’t run away, how do you know… he will escape?”

“The slave servant is just talking casually,” Ying Xiang did not struggle, still maintaining a submissive smile on his face, nestled in his arms, and whispered: “After all, the slave servant was the master of the past.”

Guang Yan stared at her for a long while, sneered, pinched Ying Xiang’s chin, and forced her to look straight at herself, “My palace hates betrayal, Ying Xiang, in the whole palace, you are my favorite maid. I hope you know in your heart what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If you let my palace find out that you are having an affair with outsiders… There are not too many women in here.”

Ying Xiangjiao smiled and said: “His Majesty is scaring the servants again. The servants are the people of His Highness, and death is the ghost of His Highness. How can they have fornication? Your Royal Highness, don’t have new people, just forget the old ones. ”

The beauty looks bright and beautiful, and her eyes are all obedient, and she is no doubt.

“As long as you are obedient and obedient,” Guang Yan touched her face with satisfaction, “My palace will always love you.”

Ying Xiang smiled and lowered her head. On her slender wrist, there was an obvious blue mark due to Guang Yan’s movement. She quietly covered the blue mark with her sleeve and buried her head in Guang Yan’s arms. , Conceal the deep meaning in the eyes.
