After Dawn Chapter 55: Daughter and poor wife (4)
The city gate has just opened, the sky is not yet bright, there are only a few people on Chang'an Street, most of them are still in sweet dreams.
"The old lady's emotions are too excited, she has already gone to rest." The doctor in the general's residence said, and with Liu Qinghan's signal, he also retreated.
Qing Ran wiped the tears from her face: "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Don't cry," Liu Qinghan turned her head and saw her self-blame. After all, this was his little sister who had been in pain since childhood. Although he was annoyed by her youth and willfulness, but now that so many years have passed, thinking of her alone After suffering so much outside, how can I not feel distressed, "Now that you are back, it is good for our family to be reunited."
"The spy heard the news that Du Siyuan didn't know that you had arrived in the capital. Instead, there was some movement from Princess Pearl. After you have come to Beijing this time, after meeting your parents, I will send you away."
"Where can I go?" Qing Ran stood up and asked in surprise, and then the expression on his face turned a little blank, "Where can I, where can I go?"
"Don't worry," Liu Qinghan comforted. "My parents will also go with you."
"Why?" Qing Ran asked in confusion. ,
"Ming Yuan said that Princess Pearl's method of plundering other people's fortunes to increase her own health, only a big demon in his ancestor's records has such a method, if we want to confront her, the safety of you and your parents It is difficult to guarantee.”
"Then I won't deal with Princess Pearl." Qing Ran said, "She is so dangerous, brother, if you follow us, I don't believe she can chase me to the ends of the earth."
"Of course, since I'm not afraid to stay, it must be because I have my own means." In fact, Liu Qinghan himself couldn't understand why. When he thought of dealing with Princess Pearl, he immediately thought of it. It is to transfer the family members of his close relatives, but for his personal safety, he has a feeling that the Pearl Princess can't help him.
His intuition has saved him many times, so this time he decided to trust himself again.
"Then what should I do?" Qing Ran asked rationally.
"You may be wronged sister." Liu Qinghan said.
……
"Although it is not well known that you and Du Siyuan escaped from home, it is not a secret in the eyes of the royal family."
"Now that Du Siyuan has changed his name to participate in the imperial examination and married the princess, if your identity as Liu Qingran is to be used against him, you must deal a heavy blow."
"In order to ensure your safety, I will arrange for you to hang yourself, and then you and your parents will leave the capital and go to the grassland."
"Grandpa is the leader of a tribe on the grassland. After you arrive on the grassland, he can provide you with good protection..."
Liu Qinghan's words were still ringing in his ears, Qing Ran bit his finger and wrote it on the paper.
"The people's wife, Du Liu, is the wife of the current champion Du Silang. She has a son and a daughter... Today, the husband divorces his wife for no reason, and the people's wife is grief-stricken... I hope the sage will be the master of the people..."
……
"Bang bang bang!"
"Who is coming?"
"The wife of Du Silang, the champion of the Golden Division!" The woman in a blue cloth with white flowers on her head raised her head and replied.
The pawn, who opened his eyes in a daze, shuddered with fright and widened his eyes suddenly.
"What are you talking about?"
"The woman wants to sue Du Silang to stop his wife and remarry, and deceive the royal family!" The woman said righteously.
He looked at the woman up and down, and showed a contemptuous smile: "Che, you are also the wife of the champion, so I am not the biological brother of Master Du."
"The woman is the daughter of General Zhenbei, and every word she said is true, not false!" The woman took out a silver sign from her arms. Although the **** was disdainful, she cautiously went over to take a look.
It's amazing, I'm startled when I see it.
"Wait, I'll call the adults!" The **** closed the door and ran into the yamen, rolling and crawling.
"My lord, my lord... something happened..."
"What's the matter?" Jing Zhaoyin, who had just come out of the soft fragrance and warm jade, asked calmly while letting the servant wear his belt and tidy up his clothes.
The pawn, who was holding his breath, said with a frightened face: "General Zhenbei's daughter has come to sue Mr. Du, the champion of Jinke!"
"What did you say?!"
……
Jing Zhaoyin opened the door of the yamen and saw a row of private soldiers standing not far behind the woman in blue. Go, although Du Silang is this year's new champion of the new division, the power in the court is still shallow, but behind him is the powerful Princess Pearl. Although General Zhenbei now has only a false name, the Northwest Army only recognizes people and does not recognize them. Fu, who cares who owns the tiger talisman and the dragon talisman, the Liu family is a local emperor.
These two great immortals fight, he is a little mortal, it is better not to participate in it, lest he will not know how to die when he gets it.
In just a few hours, the news that Du Silang stopped his wife and remarried had spread throughout the capital.
"Have you heard? It's that Master Du..."
"Which Mr. Du?"
"This year's Jinke champion! I heard that he has already married a wife in his hometown."
"How is that possible?"
"What did I lie to you for! I heard that his wife was the daughter of General Zhenbei's house lost seven years ago, and she is now suing the imperial court in front of Jingzhaoyin's gate!"
The other person's expression is somewhat mysterious: "Doesn't it mean that Princess Pearl is now just a concubine."
"Haha, who knows."
It was an hour later when the emperor heard the news,
"Princess Tang Tang is a concubine, it really loses the royal face!" The emperor angrily overturned all the memorials on the desk to the ground, "Call me Mingzhu!"
Hao Mingzhu arrived very quickly. She didn't understand what happened, and the Sky Devouring System didn't give her any reminders. It only told her to adapt to her needs, and she couldn't make a big mistake.
"My son has seen the father, long live the father. Long live the father." Hao Mingzhu saluted respectfully, with a dignified and graceful attitude. It is not as good as other women who wear gold and silver, and the decorations on her body are only There is a hairpin with pearls embedded in it, and a pair of pearl earrings. The surface is undyed and looks extremely pure.
After the emperor knew about this, he felt irritated when he saw her. Now, looking at her usual compliment, she felt like a concubine who was not allowed to stand in the official mansion.
"Jing Zhaoyin, tell her!"
Jing Zhaoyin, who bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows in the hope of becoming a vase during World War II, was named. He was startled at first, and then he honestly followed the emperor's request to sue the woman in blue. He relayed it to Princess Pearl, and showed her the pleadings handed in by the woman in blue.
"It's impossible!" Hao Mingzhu immediately retorted, the shock on his face didn't need to be less when the emperor learned about this, "Silang once told me that in order to be able to participate in the scientific examination, he didn't hear anything outside the window. He only read the books of sages and sages, and his mother-in-law repeatedly mentioned marriage in his ear, but he did not agree, how could a wife suddenly appear!"
"Could it be that I can still lie to you?" the emperor said, and pointed his finger to the outside of the imperial study: "General Liu is still kneeling there, wanting justice for his daughter."
Hao Mingzhu's face showed a trace of panic, then she shook her head and said in disbelief: "Why did Silang lie to me..."
The emperor carefully pondered the expression on her face, but found that he could not see whether the daughter really didn't know, or was lying.
……
Because of the status of the general of Zhenbei, the emperor finally accepted the imperial order.
Du Silang, who was announced as the top scholar in the Jinke Division, did not admit that he was married and had children, let alone that he was Du Siyuan, a poor scholar who lived in the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
Faced with the duties of General Liu, he admits the wrong person one by one, and his eyes are dimmed one by one, and he justly asks the emperor to investigate his jade ultimatum.
In the Hao Dynasty, there were two ways to recognize marriage between a man and a woman. One was to marry in the church, and the other was to register with a jade scorpion. In the former, as long as both men and women put on red wedding dresses and entertain guests, they were considered to be married. Those who go directly to the government to register. Liu Qingran and Du Siyuan are the former one, but now Du Siyuan is relying on Liu Qingran to elope with him and failed to get on his family's jade, so he dares to speak out in front of the emperor.
"Chen Du Silang swears to the sky, if there is a half-sentence false, the sky will hit five thunders and die!"
"It must be the daughter of General Liu who doesn't follow the rules of women, and has **** with others. Seeing that my family background is meager, she wants to rely on me."
"Nonsense!" General Liu was trembling with anger, his cheeks flushed as if he was about to bleed, he was not ashamed, but angry.
I was angry that I had no eyes and eyes, but I thought such a wolf-hearted person was recruited into the government to help me, not only abducting my own daughter, but also killing my daughter's life!
After you came and went several times, Du Silang's cheekiness was completely beyond the imagination of the Liu family. The woman in blue, who was kneeling and crying, couldn't bear the humiliation, and suddenly fell to the ground and let out a long sigh.
"The Emperor's Mirror!"
"Stop her for me!" The emperor, who was sitting on a high seat and found Liu Qingran's intentions, shouted in panic, but it was still a step too late, and the blue-clothed woman who was kneeling on the ground suddenly bumped into the pillar.
On hearing the sound of "bang", some people present could not bear to close their eyes.
"Ran Ran—"
Everyone recovered from General Liu's exclamation, looked at the blue-clothed woman, and couldn't help being cheered.
There was a large bloodstain on the golden pillar. The woman in blue slid down the pillar to the ground and sat crooked. She looked at the champion Du Silang with resentment and sarcasm.
"You said that we will be husband and wife, and we will never be separated from each other forever."
"You said that loving a concubine is like a treasure in your hand, but now there is a bright pearl instead."
"I only hate that my concubine is blind, and I mistaken the wolf heart for the man's heart..."
Her eyes dimmed a little, and the emperor slapped the table and stood up.
"What are you doing, let the imperial doctor!"
"General Liu passed out, passed out..."
The scene is chaotic.
