Chapter 56
The matter of Zhao Ying and Xue Li leaving Luoyang together was far more troublesome than he thought.
Xiahou seemed to be eyeing the Junshan Palace. The more he ordered people to stop him from leaving, the more uneasy he felt.
When he finally left Luoyang, Zhao Ying only brought a few soldiers with him to avoid attracting attention. He asked his father's old troops to help him deal with the situation, and then left Luoyang smoothly.
Xue Li put on men's clothes to accompany him, but his beautiful face didn't look like a man at all. Fortunately, after putting on his mink fur cloak, half of her face was hidden in it, so it wouldn't attract anyone's attention unless she looked specifically.
The snow was melting on the day they left Luoyang, the road was slippery and difficult to walk on, and they didn't walk very fast. Xue Li didn't learn to ride a horse until she came to Luoyang, and she could barely keep herself from falling off the horse. If the horse ran faster, she would be so frightened that she would freeze and dare not move. She was both Liang Yan's fiancée and Zhao Ying's father's sweetheart, so he couldn't ride with her. Not long after leaving Luoyang, he got rid of Xiahou's eyes and ears, so he ordered people to look for Chang Shi in the city. They bought a carriage so that Xue Li could live more comfortably and not delay their journey.
Xue Li used to ride horses only with Wei Yun and others, and let people lead them slowly. Later, he was with Liang Yan, and they rode together. He held the reins and held her in his arms, making her feel more at ease. Now that I have been riding for most of the day on the road, I realize how difficult it is.
Xue Li's legs were trembling slightly when she dismounted. Finally, she was carried into the carriage by Zhao Ying, and she could hardly even cross her legs. Every time she suffered, she would blame Wei Jie, and she would secretly scold him to comfort herself.
Zhao Ying and Xue Li were the same age. Because of Zhao Tong's thoughts about Xue Li, he felt a little uncomfortable whenever he was facing Xue Li. Xue Li could see what he was thinking. In order to let Zhao Ying protect her, she would also say a few kind words for her when she came to Zhao Tong in the future. She would talk to Zhao Ying from time to time, and gradually the two of them got closer.
If Zhao Ying got tired from riding, he would jump off the horse and get into the carriage to talk to her.
Zhao Ying was really curious about this woman who captured his father's heart. His father was not a womanizer. After his mother died of illness, his father guarded the fiefdom and never remarried. The concubines in the backyard were rarely favored. In the past few years, he had given them gold and silver to return their good status. After returning home to remarry, Xue Li happened to appear. Not long ago, my father came back with a letter asking him if Xue Li had been found.
"You have become enemies with Wei Lanzhang now. If he is true to what you said, he will not let you go. In this case, have you thought about how to tell Le'an?"
Xue Li rolled up the bamboo curtain and looked at the scenery through the small window. He didn't take it seriously and said: "I tell him how I tell you, it doesn't make any difference. This matter is not my fault. If he blames me for this, it will be regarded as my misunderstanding. From then on, we parted ways. How can I bear it?"
At this point, Xue Li has no choice. It's not that she doesn't want to hide it, it's just that she can't. It would be better for both of them to be honest with each other.
Zhao Ying didn't expect that she could say such words so freely. After all, she looked so delicate and soft in front of him, and he thought that Xue Li loved Liang Yan so much that he couldn't live without him. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Don't you love Le'an? How can you say it so easily?"
"It's easy to say it." Xue Li sighed and said helplessly: "If he really breaks up with me because of this, I will definitely be heartbroken. , but this also makes it clear that he is not as good as I thought. In this case, what else can I do, naturally be more open-minded? I am sad because I have to live a good life."
Xue Li has thought about it, She flattered Zhao Ying on the way, and when she passed to the county, she secretly glanced at Liang Yan and told him that she was safe. Then she went to the King of Junshan to seek asylum, and asked Zhao Ying to persuade the King of Junshan to accept her as his adopted daughter.
Thinking of this, Xue Li felt much more at ease, and then he leaned against the car wall and said with a smile: "Whether I can live a good life depends on my husband."
The words were ambiguous, and Zhao Ying blushed and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, you have saved my father's life, and you are my and Yun Niang's benefactor. Naturally, we have to protect you."
With Zhao Ying protecting you, although it was not very comfortable along the way, he didn't meet anyone What a big deal.
However, Xue Li couldn't explain the reason. There were no scars on his body, but he felt uncomfortable as if scratching his heart and liver, and occasionally had inexplicable headaches. She began to think of Wei Jie like crazy, and even she wanted to despise him. He was so cheap, and after finally escaping, she actually wanted to go back to him. Like some strange disease, her physical discomfort made her want to vomit and unable to breathe.
Xue Li's unprovoked irritability prevented her from sleeping peacefully, and her occasional heart palpitations and shortness of breath made her think she had contracted some strange disease. However, after the brief discomfort, she didn't feel any pain on her body. However, once an attack occurred, it seemed like she had been infected by an insect. It's as painful as ants gnawing at it.
What annoyed her the most was that when she was anxious, she would immediately think of Wei Jie and the peace of mind when he was in his arms.
Xue Li admitted that she loved power, she would do whatever it took, and she had done a lot of humiliating others, but this did not mean that she could tolerate Wei Jie. It would be fine if he was as fair and honest as the rumors say. Even if he is old-fashioned and boring, given his appearance and his power, these are not intolerable, but he is an out-and-out lunatic.
No matter how much glory and wealth she has, she still has to live. She doesn't want to stay with the madman, who knows how long she can survive before being buried under his crabapple tree. She wants to live well, who wants to die with him!
What's more, she is a human being, not an animal, so how can she be locked in the house willingly.
Thinking of the past, Xue Li couldn't help feeling depressed.
It was just the weirdness of her body that made Xue Li not know what to say. Maybe she was too tired from traveling, so she could only endure it silently. It has been half a month since she left Luoyang, and now she has completely escaped the nightmare. She doesn't know when she will see Wei Jie again in the future.
However, the change happened suddenly, and not only Xue Li, but also Zhao Ying was caught off guard.
The Xiahou family claimed that the King of Junshan had rebelled and was seeking peace with the rebels, and ordered the entire Qi State to attack the King of Junshan together.
The King of Hejian and the King of Qin could no longer withstand the long-term suppression. However, the sword was pointed at the King of Junshan. Civil and military officials throughout the court began to intercede on their behalf. The three kings surrendered decisively. Instead, they became loyal to the royal family and began to join forces to attack the King of Junshan.
Overnight, Junshan Wang's faction suddenly fell from heroes to rebels. Families and prominent families have distanced themselves from him, and the Pingyuanhou faction, which is extremely close to King Junshan, has naturally become the target of public criticism.
Zhao Ying and Xue Li suddenly received the news on their way. The crusade was impassioned. His father had become a rebel and a traitor, and he was forced to travel leisurely and became a refugee in hiding in Tibet.
Zhao Ying was indignant and insisted that Xiahou was framed. Xue Li and Xue Li were also very angry and ruined all her good deeds. Now that she seeks Zhao Tong's protection, wouldn't it mean that she has become a rebel? If Wei Jie didn't intervene, she would not believe it.
Zhao Ying was worried about Zhao Yun's current situation, so the two had to disguise themselves before going to look for him.
"Now that my father has become a rebel, it depends on your choice. It's only human nature if you don't want to be with me. I don't blame you, but you have to think carefully..."
Xue Li was extremely helpless and angry. He almost wanted to vomit blood, and he cursed Wei Jie and Xiahou Shi a thousand times in his heart.

Chapter 57
Before the incident, Zhao Ying and Xue Li had the leisure to wander around nearby counties while they were on their way. As soon as the crusade against King Junshan came out, the two of them ran around like bereaved dogs to avoid pursuing soldiers. Because Zhao Ying was the son of the King of Junshan, he would receive preferential treatment when he passed by the inn on the way. The nobles and nobles prepared wine and banquets for him to go. Now that he has fallen and is the son of a traitor, those who greeted him with a smile at the beginning have reported his whereabouts and sent troops to hunt him down so that he can claim credit.
How comfortable Zhao Ying was after leaving Luoyang, but how embarrassed he is now to escape. In order to lure away the pursuers, his subordinates had dispersed in twos and threes. Xue Li was alone and unable to protect himself in the troubled times, so he had no choice but to follow him around to evade pursuit.
After this experience, the two of them were able to share the same adversity and developed a deep friendship. At first Xue Li was restrained in front of him, but later the two simply cursed Xiahou and Wei Jie with each other.
Although Xue Li looked weak, she was not a delicate little lady who couldn't bear hardships. She followed Zhao Ying all the way and never said a few bad words. If she got upset, she would scold Wei Jie to vent her anger.
Zhao Yun made a marriage contract with the Xiao family in Shangjun, and this time it was the Xiao family who invited her to play. The Xiao family has always stood by the Wei family. Now that such a big incident has happened, what Zhao Ying is most worried about is Zhao Yun's safety. If the Xiao family handed over Zhao Yun for glory, he would definitely lead his troops to crush the Xiao family.
The two of them lived in the open, and only dared to go shopping for some food incognito. They couldn't sleep well at night. Xue Li, coupled with his physical discomfort, became more and more haggard. He sat on the horse languidly, looking as if he was about to fall. Zhao Ying had to turn his head to look at her from time to time, for fear that something would happen to her.
The two of them traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Shangjun, but they were unable to enter the city due to searches by officers and soldiers. Xue Li lowered the curtain, casually grabbed a woman in poor clothes, handed her the money in her hand, and whispered: "This lady, can you go and tell someone for me? I will I will bury a lot of money under the big rock on the left as a token of my gratitude."
The woman's clothes were shabby, and she was holding a sallow-faced and thin child in her arms. Hearing her words, he was stunned for a while, and then asked in a strange tone. "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Xue Li barely understood what she was saying, and smiled: "What can I lie to you about? It's a good thing for you anyway, why not?"
Xue Li saw She looked hesitant, as if she didn't know how to answer, so she pretended to take back the money in her hand, and sighed: "Forget it, if the lady is unwilling, I will do the same with others." After she
finished speaking, the woman hurriedly grabbed her hand. Arm, eagerly said: "I am willing, I am willing."
Zhao Ying heard the conversation, but still felt uneasy in his heart. After some hesitation, he stepped forward and said: "How do we know whether she is trustworthy? If she runs away with the money, we can't get it back. "
He was tall and stood condescendingly in front of the woman, with a somewhat intimidating aura. The other woman kept silent and looked at Xue Li with a stern look.
Zhao Ying pointed to the child in her arms and said seriously: "Put your child down. If it comes true, we will hand over the money and the child to you."
The woman's expression changed and she hugged the child tightly. .
_ His voice emphasized: "I don't lie."
Xue Li handed her the money and let her go to the city with the baby in her arms for a physical examination.
Zhao Ying led the horse and watched her disappearing at the city gate from a distance. He lowered his voice and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have to worry about her cheating you out of money. Besides, her child is still young and is thin and pitiful. She sold herself as a slave and no one took her, how can we deceive her?"
Xue Li thought for a while and said: "She must be a commoner fleeing the war. It's good to have a penny, let alone more. Always money. Look at the fear on her face just now. Maybe she is not afraid that we will abduct her child, but that we will stew the child into mincemeat."
Zhao Ying said in shock: "Why do you think of this?" "We were afraid
in the past two days. I saw some corpses that had not yet been buried on the road, I wonder if you still remember them." Xue Li couldn't help but feel his stomach churning every time he thought about it. "You think those are sheep bones. I think they are clearly human bones. It's just that the child is not very old. At first glance, they look similar to sheep bones.
" There were piles of rotting bones, and you could smell the unpleasant stench from the bones as the carriage passed by. Occasionally one day when the carriage stopped, she saw someone cooking meat soup from a distance. She might not have been able to eat such good food even when she was on the road. She thought she was some noble person, so she couldn't help but lean forward to take a closer look. However, As the carriage approached, she saw a pale little hand in the clay pot.
Xue Li was so frightened that she lost her mind. Later, whenever she saw people gathering together to cook something, she would ask the carriage to go faster. If she stayed for a moment longer, she would feel creepy.
Zhao Ying had been staying in Luoyang because King Junshan had been fighting all year round. Occasionally he accompanied the army and slept and ate with the soldiers. He had never seen the tragic situation Xue Li said, but he had heard about it. The soldiers who were split in half on the battlefield, and the babies who were cooked and eaten, for a moment I didn't know which one was more frightening in people's hearts.
Zhao Ying was silent for a long time and then said: "My father is not a rebel. No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is the one who most wants to calm down the troubled times and purify the court. How can he be a traitor?"
Xue Li was helpless to the extreme. , these words are of no use to her. She also hoped that Zhao Tong was not a traitor, otherwise who else could she look for to protect her. Now she has completely offended Wei Jie. If Wei Jie finds her again, she will definitely end up with her skin and bones ripped apart.
Xue Li sighed quietly. If she had known this, even if she wanted to leave, she would not have reached this point. Wei Jie must have hated her.
"It's useless to talk more. We'll see in the future. Since the king of Chu and the king of Hejian can show off the snow, there's no telling that the king of Junshan will be fine in the future." When the
cold wind blew, Xue Li tightened his clothes and looked up at the gray sky. In the sky, he murmured in a low voice: "Why is it so difficult to feel comfortable for a few days..."
Zhao Ying also said sadly: "I don't know what happened to Yun Niang. If something happens to her, how can I have the face to see my father? ..."
The two of them stood in the cold wind, both looking sad, sighing one after another.
After waiting for two hours, the sky was getting dark and the city gate was about to close. Xue Li's legs and feet were numb from the cold, and there was no trace of blood on his face. Zhao Ying had a headache and said, "That's all. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death here today."
Xue Li looked at the city gate unwillingly.
"I want to wait a little longer." Xue Li took a breath, touched the tip of his unconscious nose, and said to himself: "After waiting for so long, he still hasn't come..."
As soon as he finished speaking, at the city gate Several people appeared on horseback. One person, holding a lantern, rode out of the city gate and looked around in the dark sky.
Xue Li felt happy and started to run towards him, but he staggered and almost fell down because his legs were numb from the cold.
Liang Yan finally noticed the movement here. He was so anxious when he dismounted that he almost fell off.
Xue Li threw herself into his arms, wrapping her in a warm embrace. Liang Yan's chest rose and fell, and the beating of her heart could be heard clearly.
"Li Niang, Li Niang?" Liang Yan repeatedly called her name, as if testing whether this was a dream. "Say something, Ms. Li."
"It's me, Yanlang, I'm fine." Xue Li raised her head, and a slightly warm moisture fell on her face. Her throat suddenly hurt, as if it was blocked by rough stones. I couldn't make any sound, so I could only pat him on the back helplessly.
"Mother Oriole."
Liang Yan buried his head on the side of her neck, hugged her tightly, and suddenly burst into tears.

Chapter 58
Xue Li has been looking forward to this moment of goodbye for too long. Without Wei Jie, she would be Liang Yan's wife now.
The rush along the way and the waiting in the cold wind made Xue Li the moment she really saw Liang Yan, but the ecstasy in her heart was reduced, and she felt more relieved after being tired, because she knew that all this was far from over. I'm afraid there will be more trouble waiting for her in the future. But seeing Liang Yan still gave her a kind of encouragement, and it seemed that all the suffering she had suffered became as light as a feather at this moment. .
Xue Li was held tightly by him, and she couldn't help but secretly feel that "it's finally over", even though she still had many troubles that she had yet to deal with.
Liang Yan felt a little dazed. He held Xue Li's face with a look of ecstasy and uneasiness on his face. "Ms. Oriole, it's really you. I'm not dreaming. You're really back."
After saying that, he blamed himself: "I shouldn't have abandoned you and made you come all the way to find me. I have made you come back all the way." I've suffered..."
Liang Yan's hands were still trembling and his voice was trembling slightly. The idea of seeing Xue Li again overwhelmed his senses, and everything he wanted to say disappeared at the moment when he really saw her. All the emotions converged into joy, Xue Li was not dead, she was standing in front of him properly. The nightmares that haunted him day and night had not come true.
After Xue Li comforted him, Zhao Ying stood in front of him.
"Zhao Ying?"
Although the two are cousins, they are not close to Liang Yan because Zhao Ying has been studying in an academy outside Luoyang all year round. Now that Zhao Tong has become a rebel, it has even dragged down the Pingyuan Hou clan. Ying was a little uneasy when he saw Liang Yan again.
Liang Yan put the cloak on Xue Li, covering her tightly, barely exposing the toes of her shoes, but his hand kept holding her.
Zhao Ying did not hesitate, stepped forward and bowed to him, and said bluntly: "Today is different from the past. If Le An feels embarrassed, I will not force it. It's just that Yun Niang is in Shangjun, and I have no news about her. I just ask Please tell me if she is safe now."
Liang Yan saw the dusty Zhao Ying in front of him and returned the salute and said: "I believe that my uncle is a man who would never have the intention to usurp power and seek rebellion. Not to mention Li Niang. Thanks to your protection on the road, otherwise she and I would not know when we would see each other again. Now that the Hou Mansion is in a turmoil, there may be many Xiahou clan’s eyes and ears in Shangjun. If you want to enter the city, you must be more careful."
I heard. Liang Yan had no intention of severing ties with him, and Zhao Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for Yun Niang's matter, I have been asking about it a few days ago. Mrs. Xiao claimed that Mrs. Yun had escaped earlier when she got wind of it. Mrs. Xiao also canceled the marriage and drew a clear line with the Junshan Palace."
"Escaped. ?" Zhao Ying didn't believe it, and asked: "Where did she escape to, does anyone know?"
Liang Yan comforted: "The Xiao family's second son is deeply in love with her, and he will not watch her suffer, I'm afraid. I deliberately spread such words to give an explanation to the court. I ordered people to check, but no trace of her was found. She must still be in Shangjun."
After saying this, Liang Yan's attendants brought a carriage and escorted them into the city. .
Xue Li nestled in Liang Yan's arms, her frozen body gradually getting warmer, thinking about how to tell him about herself and Wei Jie. However, Liang Yan had no intention of interfering, as if he didn't care. He was only happy for Xue Li's return. He leaned over and held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, then turned the corner of her lips and called her name again and again.
This was within the fiefdom of Pingyuan Marquis, and Liang Yan became the governor of Shangjun as expected. Not long after he came to Shangjun, he still had to deal with the troubles left by the previous governor, so he had to ask for advice. In the past, he had the support of county commanders from various places, but now the King of Junshan has become a rebel that everyone avoids. As his nephew, Liang Yan's life is even more uncomfortable.
There are not many waiters in the county governor's mansion. Apart from the guards in the mansion, there are only about thirty people. They were all walking around the house, building flower branches or chatting and laughing, so that the place did not seem empty and lonely.
As for the Wei family, there are dozens of domestic servants serving food, clothing, housing and transportation, not to mention the retainers and servants maintained in the mansion. There are thousands of people in total, but they still seem deserted, even with the magnificent majesty. At the main entrance of the Wei family, under the luxury and majesty are strict etiquette and law disciplines.
Liang Yan was often absent from the mansion, and the backyard was vacant. Food and clothing were not considered extravagant. Like Xue Li, he was an easy-to-serve master. He didn't care if there were servants in the mansion who brought his children to the mansion for fun.
In order not to attract attention, Liang Yan took Xue Li and Zhao Ying into the house through the back door. The servants went to prepare hot water, food and clothing, looking at Xue Li from time to time and whispering in front of her.
After taking a bath, Xue Li changed into her underwear, wrapped herself in quilt and sat by the stove to keep warm.
She had been on tenterhooks for several days, either hiding from pursuing soldiers or trying to avoid cannibalistic refugees. She was tortured to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, and for a moment she didn't know whether it was the life in Yuhengju that was harder or the more difficult time on the road to escape.
However, the occasional bouts of heart palpitations and sweating did not remind her of Wei Jie's kindness, but instead made her resent Wei Jie for taking her away. Otherwise, she would not have to be humiliated in Yuhengju, nor would she have to suffer all the way.
She wanted to forget Wei Jie, but she couldn't help but think of him. Her whole body seemed to be gnawed by insects and ants, making her eager to find an outlet to relieve the discomfort. She had never had these weird feelings before, and it had lasted for so many days. No matter how stupid she was, she could still guess that it was Wei Jie. What kind of tricks were done?
The dim yellow light from the stove reflected on Xue Li. She held her head and thought about how to deal with Wei Jie in the future. Suddenly she heard some noises and turned around to see that Liang Yan was watching him motionless not far away.
Xue Li sat up straight and asked doubtfully: "Yanlang, why can't you come over?"
After hearing her voice, Liang Yan quickly walked towards her and hugged her again.
"That woman came to the house to deliver a message. I thought someone was lying to me again. I was always afraid that everything was false and you would disappear when I got closer."
When Liang Yan said this, she thought of Wei Jie shamefully. , thinking of the scene of sleeping on the same bed with him, those intimate interactions day and night, made her feel guilty at this moment.
She thought she would be as open-minded as when she faced Zhao Ying, but she didn't expect that it was different. It was precisely because she cared about Liang Yan that she found it even more difficult to say anything.
However, she had to say something, and she couldn't avoid it.
Xue Li slowly pushed Liang Yan away, his tone calm, but his eyes a little uneasy. "Don't you ask me why I disappeared, where have I been these days...what have I done?"
She wrote letters to Wei Yun and A Niang before leaving, but she knew that Wei Jie was there, so most of these letters were It cannot be passed on to them. No matter who she was dealing with, she would not bother to cover up the humiliation she had suffered. She wanted people to see how despicable Wei Jie was, and she was just a poor, innocent, weak woman.
However, facing Liang Yan, she didn't want to say anything. She hoped that she would be a flawless beauty in Liang Yan's heart.
Liang Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "Do you still have me in your heart ?
"
There is no need to know. It is a great blessing for me to see you again. I don’t have to worry about anything else, and you shouldn’t take it to heart." Liang Yan did have many things to ask, but if those things would hurt Injuring Oriole would ruin their hard-won joy of reunion, so it would be better not to ask.
Xue Li was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became sour. Unknowingly, her eyes became wet. She said in a low voice: "It's Wei Jie. He has a grudge against you and me. He imprisoned me in Yuhengju. I pretended to welcome him." I found an opportunity to escape, and begged Zhao Ying to bring me to Shangjun to find you..."
Liang Yan thought he had heard wrongly, and stiffened his body motionless. Wei Jie's name hit him like a thunderbolt, knocking him His sanity was shattered. Compared to Zhao Ying's disbelief, Liang Yan was even more stunned. After a while, he frowned and said, "Lan Zhang? Is there any misunderstanding...is it really him? But he..."
Facing Xue Li's determined tearful eyes, Liang Yan could no longer say any negative words. His expression suddenly became at a loss, followed by anger and grief, and finally he was at a loss again.
Xue Li would not slander Wei Jie on the pretext of his innocence, but... it happened to be Wei Jie, why was it Wei Jie?
When Liang Yan heard Wei Jie's name, his eyes almost became dizzy. It was as if a string was broken in his head, making a tiny buzzing sound.
He has known Wei Jie for many years. He is a good young master that the world is eager to imitate. He is a genius even praised by the late emperor. He is jealous of Wei Jie, but he also envies Wei Jie. Therefore, Xue Li lost his trace. He found everyone except I never thought it would be related to Wei Jie.
Anger and disappointment overwhelmed Liang Yan, and what was even more unacceptable to him was a trace of despicability mixed with anger.
Wei Jie really fell in love with Xue Li, and he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation for her. The so-called gentleman's rules were all in vain at this moment. He was just a shameless villain who stole people's wives. Wei Jie should not be able to raise his head in front of him. How dare he be so arrogant, and how dare he be called a model for the world's scholars.
Even if this thought lasted only a moment, it immediately made Liang Yan feel ashamed. This matter must have been extremely painful for Xue Li. She had been worried for so long, how could he dare to feel complacent about finding Wei Jie's flaw.
Xue Li couldn't notice the strangeness in Liang Yan's heart. She lowered her head and whispered about her inner torment, telling him that she wanted to return to him as soon as possible every day and every night. These words made Liang Yan even more angry and ashamed. .
"It's because I didn't protect you... If I had gone to Jingtan Temple with you that day, you wouldn't have fallen into Wei Lanzhang's hands."
Liang Yan comforted her in a gentle voice, and gradually Xue Li no longer felt aggrieved. , those worries disappeared under his comfort.
After coaxing Xue Li to go back to the couch to sleep, Liang Yan silently stared at her sleeping face, and didn't know how long it took before leaving.
In the middle of the night, he put on his clothes and stood up, walked around outside the door of Xue Li's room, and asked the maid: "Is the lady sleeping peacefully in the room?" The
maid answered yes, and he left with peace of mind.
Then early the next morning, he went to see Xue Li without waiting to wash up. When he saw the bedding with an outline arched by her body, he returned to his room with peace of mind.
Xue Li only learned about these things from the maid's mouth after he woke up.
Liang Yan was busy with government affairs and had to help Zhao Ying go to the Xiao family to test Zhao Yun's whereabouts. Xue Li's stay in the mansion aroused suspicion, so she also disguised herself and followed her, claiming to be a maid in the mansion.
As expected, Zhao Yun was indeed still in the Xiao family's house, and the so-called escape was just a cover-up.
The Xiao family was forced to draw a clear line with King Junshan, but they had no intention of embarrassing Zhao Tong. After all, no one knew whether Zhao Tong would be cleared like the three kings. What's more, Zhao Tong is very powerful and responds to everything in Chu. If you offend him, you will definitely die without a complete body. Zhao Yun's existence is like hot coals in their palms, and they are eager to throw it away.
As soon as Zhao Ying arrived, they hurriedly sent the person forward. Only Zhao Yun's fiancé blocked her behind and did not allow Zhao Ying to take her away.

Chapter 59
As soon as Zhao Yun saw Zhao Ying, she ran over and hugged him. Thinking of the current situation, the brother and sister felt sad, and they couldn't help showing sadness and anger on their faces.
"Mother Yun." Zhao Yun's fiancé took a step forward and said, "You know that I will not harm you. With the situation that King Junshan is in today, if you go back and live in exile, if your uncle still fails to show his innocence, you and your family will be defeated in the future. Zhao Ying is the traitor queen."
Zhao Yun hugged Zhao Ying's arm tightly, glared at him like a torch, and scolded him: "So what, do you want me to live an ignoble existence, hiding in the Xiao family and never see the light of day. After something like this I don't care if you support the mediocre court, but I can only stand by my father's side. If you continue to stay here, can you still marry me? We are destined to be separated from each other. I am willing to marry my father. Life and death together."
Zhao Yun's words were generous and decisive, without any hesitation. Xue Li couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The Xiao family's young man seemed to really like Zhao Yun and was still trying to convince her, until Zhao Ying took Zhao Yun away from him and chased after him.
After Zhao Ying helped Zhao Yun get on the carriage, Zhao Yun discovered that the maid who had been following Zhao Ying was Xue Li. She was surprised and asked: "Ms. Xue, why are you here? You are not..."
Xue Li said helplessly: "This It's a long story, I'll tell you in detail later."
Zhao Ying stopped and frowned: "What are your plans now?"
After all, his father has now become a rebel, if he persuades Xue at this moment When Oriole defected to his father, wouldn't it mean that he was dragging her into another fire? However, the two of them have shared hardships along the way. Now they part ways, and they may never see each other again in the future. Xue Li's current situation is not much better than theirs. Although Wei Jie is a gentleman praised by everyone, he is not a weak and gentle person. The eldest son of the Wei family must be decisive and cruel, and he suffered a loss from Xue Li I will definitely find a way to get it back.
Xue Li didn't think about it, she was reluctant to leave Liang Yan as soon as they met.
When she was about to answer, she saw Zhao Yun's hesitant gaze, and then asked: "Mother Yun, if you have something to do, it's okay to just say it."
Zhao Yun frowned and asked doubtfully: "Don't you know? Xiao and Liang Le'an are discussing marriage?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ying and Xue Li both froze and looked at her blankly.
Xue Li waited for a while before speaking: "What did you say?"
Her voice was very soft and cautious, like a test, but her fingers clenched her sleeves tightly, as if she wanted to tear the fabric into pieces.
Zhao Yun was frightened by Xue Li's gaze, and did not dare to continue talking for a long time. Zhao Ying urged: "Please clarify quickly, maybe there is some misunderstanding..." Zhao Yun
nodded quickly and said: "I guess there is a misunderstanding. Now Now that you are back, Le Anding will not agree to this marriage..." She paused and then comforted: "The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is now implicated in the rebellion. Pingyuan Marquis was forced to lead troops to quell the rebellion in order to prove his loyalty to the emperor. Rebellion, now many people in the court are suspicious of Pingyuan Hou, the troops allocated to him are not enough, and the various branches of the Liang family are also being squeezed out. If we don't join forces with the famous families now, the fall of the Hou Mansion is a foregone conclusion."
Xue Li's noisy anger seemed like He was poured a basin of cold water on it and was instantly calmed down.
Zhao Yun glanced at Xue Li and whispered: "Liang Yan must like you... It's just that he just became the county guard, and he was immediately suppressed by the famous family, not to mention his father..."
Xue Li suddenly stopped being angry, she I just felt sad. There aren't that many things that come to one's heart in the world, so it's not that easy for her to get along with Liang Yan.
But she still felt unwilling to do so. It was clear that Liang Yan would soon belong to her. It seemed that just one step went astray, which created a natural chasm between them.
It is true that a slight error is a thousand miles away.
Xue Li calmed down and said slowly: "I will go back and ask Yanlang, I believe he will not let me down."
He loves her so much, how could he let her down?
He won't do this.
Liang Yan was busy with government affairs and could hardly take a break. News came from the distant war that the soldiers and horses led by his father were in short supply of food and fodder. The government and the government were pushing the blame, and he had to allocate food and fodder support from Shangjun to avoid being secretly plotted and delaying the war opportunity.
Zhao Ji was mediocre and incompetent and ignored the government affairs. In order to preserve the prosperity of this century, the Wei family did not hesitate to join forces with the Xiahou family to eliminate the King of Junshan. And with the prestige of the King of Junshan, he wanted to rebel, and Chu Di also followed him like a cloud.
Liang Yan didn't know how the situation got to where it was today. Wei Heng was worried about handing over military power to the Xiahou family, and would definitely send people from the Wei family to quell the rebellion. The major noble families would inevitably be involved.
Liang Yan was almost exhausted, so much so that his affairs with Sangong Cao became easier.
Xue Li held up the hem of his skirt and ran quickly into the courtyard. He put down his pen when he heard footsteps. The door was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed into the room.
"Ms. Li, you are back, come and warm your hands."
Xue Li panted, and the heat from his mouth came out like a small cloud.
"You and Mrs. Xiao have agreed to get married, right or wrong?" Xue Li looked straight at Liang Yan, trying to see the magnanimity on his face.
"I didn't nod." He looked away and answered her in a low voice.
Xue Li's face turned pale, and she was so angry that she wanted to yell, go up and beat him, and ask him if he was going to abandon her. However, she just thought about it in her mind. She couldn't do this. She couldn't let herself become a miserable resentful woman like A Niang. Things would always turn around.
"Do you know how much I suffered on the way to find you?" Xue Li clenched his fists and tried his best to restrain himself. At this moment, she realized that her tone was very similar to Wei Jie, and this thought made her frown. "How did you tell me back then? You said you wouldn't let me down, that I was the only one in your heart."
Liang Yan was exhausted due to official duties. He could find time to comfort Xue Li, but he didn't want to argue with her about these useless things at this moment. thing. He also frowned and emphasized: "Mother Li, I did not agree." "
What about the future? If Pingyuan Houfu is attacked from both sides in the future, will you marry other noble girls for the Houfu? If Pingyuan Hou is in danger, how do you want to save him? If Wei Jie refuses to let me go, how do you want to protect me..." Xue Li knew that everything she said was trying to force someone into a difficult situation, and Liang Yan had no answer. He was sincere towards her, but his sincerity could not withstand the hardships of the world. He still had unfulfilled ambitions, and both the Marquis Mansion and the Liang Family relied on him.
Every question Xue Li asked was sharp and he couldn't avoid answering. Every word made him breathless. He seemed to be in a huge whirlpool and no one could pull him out.
Liang Yan tightened his fingers, looked at her calmly, and asked: "Ms. Li, you are too impatient now. We'd better talk about this later." "
I'm not impatient. I just want to know if you will have another idea." Marry someone else?"
Xue Li saw the hesitation on Liang Yan's face and knew the answer in an instant. She seemed to have lost all her strength and suddenly became at a loss.
"Mother Oriole, how do you miss me?" Liang Yan stood up, her tone full of the pain of being forced to do nothing, and a bit of anger that was about to come out.
"You approached Wei Jie because of me early in the morning , because I rescued you in Wu County, right?" .
Liang Yan continued: "I interrogated Shen Ji when I was the Third Duke Cao, and he told me about your life. I later ordered people to go to Wu County to investigate... You used Wei Jie to get close to me. Your original intention was to seek death. It's fake, and it's also fake that you like my old poems. You took advantage of Wei Jie, which led to the fire today..."
Xue Li listened to Liang Yan telling all the things she had done, as if she had been slapped hard. , the grievance and shame left her speechless, unable to say a word in rebuttal, she could only stand there blankly, as if there was a big hole in her chest, and the cold wind passed through it, and she could hear the cold and hollow sound of the wind. .
She slowly gave a wry smile and asked: "So what? You just discovered today that I am not good. I have already had plans for you. You only like me because of my calculations. Liang Yan, how should I treat you?" You should know, if I don't really love you, why would I go all the way to find you? I can't even look down on Wei Jie, but I still want to be friends with you. Are you blind? I just want you to love me, why should I? Have I ever failed you? What do you mean by what you are saying now? Do you think I deserve to be in the situation I am in today?" When
Liang Yan heard the word Wei Jie, his breath suddenly stagnated, and he said sharply: "I just ask You, if Wei Jie was willing to marry you from the beginning, you would still want to marry me."
Xue Li suddenly fell silent, but Liang Yan thought her silence was due to a guilty conscience, and couldn't help but become even more annoyed.
However, before he could speak again, he heard Xue Li say: "You are right, I am just such a person. I love power and am selfish. My love for you is all calculated and worthless. If this is the case, Think about it, will you feel better if you abandon me to discuss marriage with Mr. Xiao?"
Xue Li looked at him with tears on her face, almost trembling with anger. She overestimated Liang Yan and herself. He was exhausted and in urgent need of venting, and the current dissatisfaction forced them all to harbor resentment. Even if we don't talk about it today, we will inevitably have to argue about it in the future.
Xue Li suddenly remembered that from the beginning, it was for her that Liang Yan gave up Sangongcao and came to Shangjun to be a small county guard.
Liang Yan still had many things to do. How could he abandon the entire Hou Mansion for her, and abandon his own future for her.
She was not worth what Liang Yan did. He had already weighed it in his heart. They would always be disappointed in each other. Liang Yan would blame her in the future, it was all because of her that he had to endure so many hardships.
What he said was somewhat false. If his family fell into decline and he could no longer give her glory and wealth in the future, would she still be able to remain the same?
Liang Yan realized that she had gone too far, and couldn't help but lower her head in regret. She approached and wanted to wipe Xue Li's tears, but she took a step back to avoid him.
Xue Li didn't want to cry anymore, but couldn't help it. He could only turn his back to cover up his embarrassment.
"Don't think of me so badly, Liang Yan, I do really like you."

Chapter 60:
Liang Yan was very tired, and he got the letter that his father had led the troops to go on an expedition. The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was attacked from both sides. Wei Heng could help him for a while, but he could not protect him forever. He did have the intention to discuss marriage with Mrs. Xiao, but when he saw that Xue Li was still alive, he put the matter on hold. Now facing her question, he felt a little impatience and long-standing depression in his heart. It is inevitable that he will vent his anger on those close to him.
Seeing Xue Li with tears streaming down his face and speaking these words clearly, he suddenly woke up again.
Why bother to argue, Xue Li has returned to him, this is the best thing at the moment, why do we still want to slander each other.
Liang Yan regretted and said in a low voice: "Mother Li, I was just talking nonsense in a hurry. I never thought about marrying Xiao's daughter, and I never meant to blame you..."
Xue Li has never been a good person. A person with a bad temper, on the contrary, she has a very bad temper, and she will retaliate. She has suffered a lot from Wei Jie, and she never wants to be manipulated again. After the anger passed, she gradually calmed down, like a plain burned by fire. Once it burned, it would be completely burned away, leaving only cold ashes.
Liang Yan came to comfort her again, but she did not dodge and allowed him to wipe away her tears.
She was not A-Niang. A-Niang had been with her father for many years, and she had thought about how to win back his heart, clinging to the old love and refusing to let go. It was not until the embarrassments could no longer be hidden that she gave up completely.
Since she got off the carriage, she had already thought of many consequences, but she didn't expect that Liang Yan would know about her plans and even use these words to embarrass her.
She was not ashamed of her behavior, but she just felt that these words should not have come from Liang Yan.
Xue Li lowered his eyes, tears were still flowing, but his eyes were cold.
She was really stupid. She was greedy for something bad and tried to make Liang Yan's infatuation with her remain unchanged. He has a family and a future to worry about, so where will it be her turn? After a few words, he revealed his true feelings. It was obvious that there was already a barrier in his heart and he was trying not to say anything. These barriers are like a pustule. If it is not opened, it will become painful day by day, and sooner or later it will fester.
"I deceived you first, and I was also at fault for this matter. Now the situation is forcing me to blame you. It's just that I can't stay in Shangjun anymore." Xue Li was held in Liang Yan's arms, his tone was sad and pitiful, but his face was full of emotion. There was total indifference.
Sooner or later, Liang Yan would be separated from her and his career would be unsatisfactory in the future. He might blame her for offending Wei Jie and causing him to come to Shangjun and not be able to marry Zhou Suyin from a well-known family...
From the moment he entered the house She had already made up her mind in a moment. Coming to see him this time was just a last chance for herself and Liang Yan.
Liang Yan held her in his arms, comforted her over and over again, and apologized for his mistake. Xue Li was silent for a long time, and then said: "Wei Jie is still sending people to look for me. He must know that I am coming to find you. It is not appropriate to stay in Shangjun for a long time." , you and I can just say goodbye."
Liang Yan stiffened, lowered his head slowly, and said in a dull voice: "Mother Li, what do you mean?"
Xue Li explained in a low voice: "Don't think too much, it's just Now is a critical time in the Hou Mansion, so I can't let you off any longer. I want to go to my aunt's house to avoid the limelight for now. If you don't change your mind after a while, I will definitely come back."
Liang Yan also knew in his heart that it was right. He was so angry because everything Xue Li said was true. He really couldn't protect Xue Li. Even if he gets the person Wei Jie wants, he can't give her stability, and he doesn't want to let her go easily.
Because the King of Junshan had become a traitor, Xue Li's initial desire to seek refuge was wavering. Today's quarrel with Liang Yan made her determined that she must not stay in Shangjun and wait for Liang Yan to protect her.
Liang Yan has never regarded love as a top priority and is willing to leave Luoyang for her. He just firmly believes that he will return to the position of San Gongcao sooner or later. Today, Pingyuan Hou Mansion was involved in the turmoil. He even discovered Wei Jie's face and fell in love for a while. Anxiety attacks her.
In this case, how could she rely on love?
Xue Li listened to him dumbly. What happened today seemed to be a wake-up call for her years of infatuation, causing her to wake up from her self-righteous dream in an instant.
Liang Yan said a lot of things, but she didn't change her mind. Looking back on the past scenes, she still felt a bit reluctant to let go, but there was only reluctance left.
"If you want to come back, remember to send a message to me and I will order someone to pick you up." Seeing that he could not change her mind, Liang Yan could only mutter a few words of comfort. After all, it is not a good thing for Xue Li to stay with him now. If Wei Jieruo is really a despicable person, it will be a matter of time to attack him sooner or later.
Less than half a year later, Xue Li felt that he had never been so tired, and even time seemed to slow down.
She is like an object. Mr. Xue can easily give her away to please the county magistrate. A Niang only regards her as her sustenance for the rest of her life. Wei Jie is also a weirdo who looks crazy. He says he loves her, but he does all sorts of bad things. thing. As for Liang Yan, whom she had admired for a long time, her expectations for him were too high. Liang Yan was indeed a good person, and to this day, she has no regrets about falling in love with him.
He was more like a fruit on the branch. She climbed higher and higher step by step to pick him, and she saw many beautiful scenery because of it. There was nothing unworthy. It's just that the fruit looks sweet, but it's not enough to fill the stomach.
Xue Li wanted to leave early, but Liang Yan was worried. He still thought that his words had hurt her, so he apologized to her in a low voice.
She didn't want to see Liang Yan feel guilty. This matter was not his fault. If it were her, she would think about herself first and then think about others.
"Yanlang, how long will it take for this war to subside?" Xue Li thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking him.
"The people have been grudges for a long time, and they have long been dissatisfied with the emperor and the major families. King Junshan has always had prestige, and he has a large army and many followers... What's more, there are also nobles who have turned against King Junshan... I'm afraid something will happen." Liang Yan did not dare to conclude easily. It would be fine if Zhao Tong only wanted to secede from the emperor. If he really had the intention of treason, I am afraid that Qi would not be able to live in peace in the future. Once a few major noble families help him, it will not be difficult for the throne to fall into his hands. .
"What you mean is that King Junshan may not be able to replace His Majesty in the future..." Xue Li's eyes moved slightly, and the movements of his hands slowed down.
"It is not orthodox to seek power and usurp the throne, and it is difficult to gain the support of famous families."
Xue Li lowered his eyes and sighed: "I don't know when this war will subside. I'm afraid that the road will be far away and it will be difficult for you and me to write letters."
Liang Yan paused. He said: "It won't be long. When this period of time passes, I will be able to pick you back soon, and your father will be safe and sound. Let's go back to Luoyang together."
No.
Xue Li looked up at him and reminded himself in his heart.
If the war does not subside, Marquis Pingyuan will have to go to battle to kill the enemy. If Liang Yan does not cater to the noble family, how can he maintain the status of the Marquis Mansion and return to Luoyang?
Soon, he will marry someone else with guilt.
Liang Yan would not come to pick her up, and she would not wait.
Xue Li wanted to catch up with Zhao Ying, so he didn't stay too long. Liang Yan saw her out of the city and walked a long way with her until she had to return.
Xue Li felt disappointed, and so did Liang Yan. She leaned out of the carriage to see him, and suddenly felt sad. Liang Yan treated her well, and she sincerely wanted to marry him. This time, if we see each other again, things will change.
After feeling sad, Xue Li quickly regained his composure and began to think about the future.
This experience really calmed her down. In the face of disaster, love is never the most important thing. She can dream of gaining power from others, but she cannot focus solely on love.
It's good to be a stepping stone. Don't expect things you can't grasp.
Xue Li thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of the Yao family. Although she was snobbish, she was from her family. She had kindly advised her mother in the past, but she broke off the relationship when she saw that she was obsessed with marrying Xue family...
Zhao Tong was handsome and mighty, but unfortunately he was a little too old, and he was not something she could control, and his temper did not please her. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Ying is actually not bad. He is Zhao Tong's only son. If Zhao Tong ascends the throne, the crown prince's position will be his. If the situation is not good, she, an outsider, can still escape... A madman like Wei Jie After all, they are a minority.
At this point, she could only take a gamble. She could not go back and let the madman bury her under a broken tree.
Thinking of Wei Jie, Xue Li couldn't help but sigh.
The soldiers and horses passed Luoshui, and the people in the carriage opened the curtains, revealing their handsome and pale faces.
The reed flowers are flying like snow waves. Wei Jie has seen this scene before in Shuozhou.
The people at the inn sent him a message, and Xue Li arrived in Shangjun.
Wei Jie was not in a hurry, and even had a rare bit of patience.
Xue Li suffered a lot along the way, and even Liang Yan wanted to leave her behind. Soon she would find that he, Wei Jie, was the only one in the world who truly loved her and could give her everything she wanted.
Xia Houxin saw Wei Jie's pale face and said displeasedly: "Why didn't Wei Chi come with you? Instead, he asked you to go out with the army."
Wei Jie withdrew his gaze and explained patiently: "Wei Chi is seriously ill and may not be able to come. , This is what Your Majesty meant."
He said he was here to assist the Xiahou family, but in fact the power was in the hands of the Wei family, and he was clearly here to monitor them.
Xia Houxin wanted to make fun of Wei Jie's arm injury, but when he saw the cold smile with warning on his face, he stopped for a moment and could only sneer angrily.
Wei Jie turned the page of the book, but couldn't calm down immediately.
Xue Li had better pray that she wouldn't fall into his hands too soon. If she waits for a while, maybe his anger will dissipate a lot, so that her end will not be too embarrassing.
