Chapter 351: In Chang'an Lane
In just one short sentence, Ye Kui was shocked.
How could Princess Nanyang, who could say this, be just an ignorant girl who was blinded by love? They were not the parties involved in the matter back then, and many of the things were just speculated by some words from others. Most of the time, I am afraid that they would not be able to do it accurately.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't chosen to marry into the Pei family, would she not have to face these things now? From the threat from the emperor, she could never have imagined that she would have encountered such a day in the past. But she asked herself repeatedly in her heart, and there was always only one answer she could ask.
——No regrets.
No matter what, she had no intention of regret.
I guess Princess Nanyun had the same thoughts back then.
That's why she decided to give birth to a child for the enemy of Nanyang, and then she went to the underworld with her relatives. In the sky and the earth, she didn't know that this was exactly the biggest punishment for the Marquis of Yong'an. I'm afraid that it was because she had thought of this for a long time that she chose to commit suicide in front of the man she liked and the young children.
Love is deep and hatred is deep.
After experiencing such a situation, if he really had true love for the eldest princess, then he must have loved and hated her. He even didn't know how to treat his two children with her.
"It's too difficult to live." Ye Kui sighed, "It's so difficult to die."
If she were replaced, there would be no way, and she would only try her best to survive, not to die. There is nothing more important in this world than living. As long as you live, all the obstacles that cannot be overcome will pass sooner or later.
Pei Changge is the same person as her, so he just wants to survive desperately and successfully break out of this seemingly no way out war. What's more, Ye Kui has an unborn child in her belly. Even for him, they have to survive desperately.
"No, the picture on your back is a treasure map, and you also meet the people of the Nanyang Mu family. Wouldn't the treasure have been already...?" Ye Kui raised the question halfway, but realized another unreasonable place. If someone had really found the treasure, the Marquis of Yong'an would not have asked them to find the people of the Xiao family. Lin's hand held the most critical point in this major event with them - military pay!
So according to the current situation, this military pay must be the treasure of the Nanyang royal family that I don’t know where it was hidden.
Ye Kui frowned, and a thought emerged in her heart. Just as she was about to speak out, she heard Pei Changge say lightly: "The picture on my back is only half."
"The remaining half must be in the hands of the Xiao family." Ye Kui asserted.
Pei Changge nodded, "I'm afraid there is no other possibility other than that. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have mentioned this."
When Ye Kui heard him talk about the Marquis of Yong'an, he couldn't help but raise a suspicion in surprise: "Since the Marquis knows that there is half a picture on your back and that the Xiao family has half in their hands, will he not move the treasure?"
"The old man felt guilty and didn't have time to think about what was next." Pei Changge seemed a little careless when he said this, "It's because the Xiao family's affairs were indeed a bit beyond my expectations."
He thought so, why didn't Ye Kui be the same?
She never doubted that the Xiao family was made like that by Emperor Chengzhen, and there would be something else in it. However, judging from the current situation, 90% of Emperor Chengzhen discovered some clues in that matter. Since the Xiao family could have half of the treasure map of the Nanyang royal family, it would not be too much to give them a charge of collusion with the enemy and treason.
Ye Kui felt cold in her heart, and she couldn't find any warmth.
Sure enough, these things are far from enough just looking at the surface.
The Marquis of Yong'an was trapped by love, so he made such a mistake. But why did the Xiao family? Xiao Sheng, a good prospect at that time, helped Nan Yun hide the second half of the treasure map? If Lin and the Marquis of Yong'an didn't tell these things, no one would have known about them.
"My grandmother is afraid she doesn't want to mention it." Ye Kui said softly.
Although she only spoke to Lin face to face, just once was enough for her to roughly understand the Lin family. If Lin was willing to say it, how could she wait until now? Ye Kui even couldn't help but wonder whether the half of the so-called treasure map was still there. After all, from Lin's perspective, the Xiao family would cause such a disaster, which was caused by this half of the thing. It seemed unreasonable that she would not burn this thing to pay tribute to the Xiao family.
Pei Changge also had such doubts in his heart. But no matter what he said, it was useless. He helped Ye Kui to bed, squatted down and took off her shoes with his own hands, and said, "I will go there myself tomorrow. No matter how much I think about it now, it is useless. It would be better to have a good sleep."
These days, they have been sleeping uneasy.
As the day they expected to break out is getting closer, the people in the game are naturally unable to fall asleep easily.
That night, both of them were awake nearly midnight.
The next morning, almost at the same time, both of them woke up again.
Get up, wash, change clothes and go out.
Without long struggle, Ye Kui took Qin Sang out. The third lady taught her with a serious look, saying that she was running out with a big belly. She also talked about Pei Changge's absence in a vague way, implying that she was not filial to men and only thought about the colorful world outside, and was completely unaware of the three obediences and four virtues. Seeing that she was simply like she wanted to smash books like "The Little Essence" on her face, she felt very impatient, so she simply disgusted the third lady: "Sister-in-law has this skill, so she might as well take care of the third brother more. I heard that these days, the third brother always thought about burning incense for the second brother. Isn't it because he was guilty?"
After hearing this, the third lady immediately lost the intention of struggling with Ye Kui.
Ye Kui then went out smoothly, got on the carriage and went straight to Chang'an Alley.
The coachman was arranged by the Marquis of Yong'an himself, so Pei Changge, who quietly went out, got on the carriage when the carriage was halfway through. Qin Sang got off to look for Qiunian and went to prepare for other things.
In recent days, none of them have been careless, and they all want to grow more arms and heads.
After the handover was completed, Ye Kui, who could not sleep at night, began to yawn. She was already thirsty and couldn't sleep at night. She sat in the carriage and didn't faint and started to get sleepy.
Pei Changge hugged her in his arms, asked her to find a comfortable place and coax her to fall asleep.
Ye Kui didn't force herself to hold on. After a while, she would have to fight a tough battle. Now she would be full of energy and she wouldn't be able to survive.
Thinking of this, she had already smelled the cold smell of Pei Changge and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the carriage had already stopped in a corner of Chang'an Lane.
It was getting colder and the alley lived in poor families. It was time to go out to work, so the alley was silent at this moment and there were no people. Lin must have had some concerns and did not want to get too close to others, so the place where he lived seemed more remote.
Pei Changge helped Ye Kui get off the carriage and knocked on Lin's door quietly.
"Who is it?" Yingmen's voice was a young man.
"Yaah——" The wooden door opened, and a young man's face was poked out from inside, looking outside and wonderingly: "What are you?"
Ye Kui looked at him and smiled, calling out calmly: "Uncle."
Lin An, the only bloodline in the Xiao family inside the sect, was shocked when he heard this, looked Ye Kui up and down, and then said with a little confusion: "You, was the girl you last time?"
After a long time, he was a little unsure for a while. But she called his uncle...
"It's me." Ye Kui nodded, "Can grandmother be at home?"
When Lin An heard her ask about Lin, he looked at her vigilantly, then looked at Pei Changge, and said, "What's the matter? It's the same as me." As he said this, he became more and more confused. First, he called him uncle and then called Lin as his grandmother. Wouldn't he be his sister's child? But his sister... Lin An suddenly felt uneasy and subconsciously wanted to close the door again, but was blocked by Pei Changge.
"Uncle, if you are worried, I'll go and invite my grandmother out." Pei Changge said with a smile.
Lin An felt that he was smiling ill-intentionedly, and he became more and more nervous. He shook his head and nodded for a while. He didn't know what to say at all. He wanted to close the door but was stopped by Pei Changge. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Why do you think life is as beautiful as a girl, but you are so strong!
In a stalemate, Ye Kui was afraid that a few people would suddenly appear on the road. Although people who could know her and Pei Changge would not appear at all in this place, they should be careful just in case, so they were ready to break through. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a child's voice and messy footsteps came from the door.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Ye Kui heard that it was Lin An's son.
Lin An was panicked and hurriedly turned around and rushed: "Go back to the house!"
But the little child could not listen to him, but instead he ran closer and closer. Then another sound came from the door: "Yaoer, come back soon." After saying that, the voice "Huh" sounded, and suddenly said: "The door..."
Lin An did not answer, but called out "Mother".
Ye Kui slowly calmed down the smile on her lips and called out in a voice that Lin could hear: "Grandma."
The footsteps stopped suddenly, and then they immediately strode to the door. Lin An was pushed open with one hand. Lin opened the door and stood inside the door and looked at her quietly. Then he looked at Pei Changge, and opened the door open to the two without hesitation, "Come in."
