Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 56

It was rare for Zhao Xiyan to take a rest today, so he didn't have to go to court early or enter the palace, so he slept in Xia Shuning's room for a while longer.Unexpectedly, when she woke up, Xia Shuning was sitting by the bed, embroidering something.Zhao Xiyan opened his eyes and saw that Xia Shuning was in a good mood, so he put his head on Xia Shuning's lap and rubbed Xia Shuning's stomach.

"You're awake."

"Well, I have a headache."

Xia Shuning smiled softly, put down the needlework in her hand, placed two cold hands on Zhao Xiyan's temples, and gently rubbed them for him.

"Is this strength possible?"

"Try harder."

Xia Shuning put in more effort, Zhao Xiyan closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare quiet time.Xia Shuning's heart was very sweet. This powerful and prominent His Royal Highness Prince Duan had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and he was polite to everyone. Although he was gentle, he was very alienated.Who would have thought that His Royal Highness Duan Wang, who is so high above him, would actually look like a child in private.Although Zhao Xiyan was reluctant, she was coaxed out of bed by Xia Shuning.The maids outside the door were already waiting with hot water, Xia Shuning called them in.Ying Er put the hot water on Xia Shuning's left side, Xia Shuning bent down, wrung out the towel, and gently wiped Zhao Xiyan's face.Ying Er brought another cup of tea, Xia Shuning handed it to Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan swallowed it several times before spitting it all into the spittoon brought by another maidservant.Xia Shuning saw that the corners of Zhao Xiyan's mouth were stained with water, so she dried him again.The maidservants brought Zhao Xiyan's regular clothes, and Xia Shuning picked out a crescent white set for him.Zhao Xiyan stood up after putting on his shoes, Xia Shuning took the clothes and put on the inner lining and outer shirt for him one by one.In the end, Xia Shuning adjusted Zhao Xiyan's collar. Xia Shuning's forehead was less than two finger widths away from Zhao Xiyan's lips, and his posture was ambiguous.Xia Shuning felt Zhao Xiyan's hot breath, and her ears were already red.Yinger looked at this scene from the side, she was really fascinated, such a gentle and handsome couple, they really love each other.No wonder I always hear the master in the mansion say that I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals.

For some reason, Zhao Xiyan felt that her cousin was very cute today, so she wanted to tease her.Taking advantage of Xia Shuning's seriousness in fixing his collar, Zhao Xiyan tickled her again.Unexpectedly, when Xia Shuning leaned forward, Zhao Xiyan's lips kissed Xia Shuning's forehead, and the two of them stuck together without any distance.Xia Shuning's ears were already red, and her face and neck were red like this.Hastily drove Zhao Xiyan out of the room, Zhao Xiyan always felt in a good mood for some reason, seeing his cousin kicked him out, so he had no choice but to go to the study to review the official documents.The official document must be reviewed first, and then I will be free to go to the school grounds with Qin Huaian to play horses in the afternoon.As soon as Zhao Xiyan sat down, someone knocked on the door of his study.

"Who is it?" Zhao Xiyan didn't stop writing when he heard the knock on the door.Zhao Xiyan made a sound, but there was still no answer outside the door, only knocking.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Zhao Xiyan saw that the people outside only knocked on the door but did not respond, so he had to ask someone to come in.The door was pushed open by one, and outside the door was a maid with an unfamiliar face.Zhao Xiyan lowered his head and continued to review, but he didn't expect that there were people behind the maid.Zhao Xiyan smelled the fragrance and was very familiar with it, so he raised his head again.Seeing Su Qingshu entered the study, Zhao Xiyan was speechless for a while, but his heart was surging, he dropped his pen, and he didn't know it.

"The concubine has seen the prince."

"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Xiyan immediately stood up, trying to reach out his hand to help Su Qingshu up, but Su Qingshu still took a step back.Zhao Xiyan was a little injured, put away his hands, and retreated to the chair to keep a distance.He knew that Su Qingshu didn't like him being close, so he couldn't force her.

"The lord has been back to the mansion for many days, but the concubine has not been able to visit him because the concubine is not feeling well, please don't blame the lord."

"Since you're not feeling well, I'll call Ning'er to show you later."

"Thank you, my lord, I'm much better now, don't bother my side concubine."

Zhao Xiyan saw that Su Qingshu always looked cold, and spoke politely with him, so he smiled wryly.How could Zhao Xiyan not know why Su Qingshu came to look for him if he didn't go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

"That's fine."

"My concubine, I would like to thank Wang Ye for saving Rian's life at Bianguan." Su Qingshu saluted Zhao Xiyan, and Zhao Xiyan hurried to help him, but Su Qingshu pushed him away without a trace.Zhao Xiyan's hand was not the same as the previous step, nor was it the next step, so he had to put it away in embarrassment.

"Ri'an is my brother-in-law. It is my duty to save him. You don't have to do this big gift."

"The minister and concubine thanked the lord for his kindness on behalf of the Xiangfu." Su Qingshu got up, but Zhao Xiyan was even more bitter.

"There's no need to be too polite about what you're doing."

"The emperor decreed that Ri'an will be beheaded in a few days to show the public, and please ask the prince to save Ri'an again. For the favor of the prince, the courtiers and concubines will surely repay it in the future." Su Qingshu knelt on the ground again, lowering his head and not looking at Zhao Xiyan.

"Yesterday, I submitted a memorial to intercede for Ri'an, but the emperor rejected it. What Ri'an committed was a serious crime of exterminating the three clans. I have already pleaded for mercy. If it were not for this, the three clans of the Xiangfu would not have escaped death. "

"The concubine knows how to embarrass the lord, but Ri'an has been deeply in love with the concubine's siblings since she was a child, and the concubine has no other choice."

"Get up quickly, don't kneel down, take care of yourself."

"I hope the prince will save you and have a good day."

"If it wasn't for the good day, you wouldn't even see me or say a word, right?"

Su Qingshu didn't speak, but Zhao Xiyan blushed and said "OK" softly.Su Qingshu didn't know why, but when he heard this trembling sentence, his heart clenched.Su Qingshu didn't believe his own heart, obviously he hated him so much, why would he feel pain when he saw him hurt.Su Qingshu returned to Qingbo Garden, leaving Zhao Xiyan in the study to weep.The next day, Zhao Xiyan took the gold medal for avoiding death just given by Emperor Shaoyuan, and knelt outside the Taiji Hall for a whole day before he begged Emperor Shaoyuan to pardon Su Ri'an.Emperor Shaoyuan's anger remained undiminished, and he completely cut off Su Ri'an's fame and reputation, and demoted him to a commoner. He will not be able to be an official in this life, nor will his descendants.Su Ri'an received the decree in the prison, and couldn't believe that the emperor didn't kill him.Zhao Xiyan personally went to the prison to pick up Su Ri'an. When Su Ri'an saw Zhao Xiyan coming to pick him up, he knew in his heart that it must be King Duan who saved him.

"Why did Your Highness save me? I almost killed you."

"You don't deserve to die, get out of prison as soon as possible."

Su Ri'an was greatly shocked. He knew that King Duan was generous, but he never thought that King Duan could forgive him and save him.Su Ri'an felt guilty and ashamed, for being a scholar in vain, and for his own selfish desires, he almost killed such a kind prince who saved the country and the people.Zhao Xiyan sent Su Ri'an back to the Prime Minister's mansion, and Su Xiang knelt in front of Zhao Xiyan, unable to get up on his knees.Zhao Xiyan didn't say anything, but said a few words of comfort to Prime Minister Su, then returned to the palace, and sent someone to bring a message to Su Qingshu saying that Su Ri'an had returned to the Prime Minister's mansion.Su Qingshu was very relieved to hear that his younger brother had returned alive, but he never thought about how Zhao Xiyan would handle this matter.Zhao Xiyan begged for such a heinous person, and used the gold medal for avoiding death, which naturally caused a sensation in the capital.All the officials in the court were talking about it, and Prime Minister Su directly said that he was sick and could not come to the court.The prince laughed, thinking that his younger brother is really an infatuated, really a hero who is sad for a beauty.The prince went down to the court and made a show, and the man hurried back to work.

Su Qingshu is grateful to Zhao Xiyan for saving Su Ri'an and Xiangfu again.Of course, she also learned that Zhao Xiyan had won the gold medal for exempting himself from death by military service, and knelt in the palace for a day and a night in exchange for Emperor Shaoyuan's pardon.Su Qingshu's heart twitched again, the pain was excruciating.Su Qingshu also found out that since Zhao Xiyan returned to Beijing, he never thought of Chu Hengyuan again.Just as Su Ri'an returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Hengyuan secretly wrote a letter to Su Qing and sent it in.Su Qingshu warned him many times not to write any more letters, but Chu Hengyuan didn't listen, and the two of them broke up.Zhao Xiyan saw all this in his eyes, but in order to protect Su Qingshu's reputation, he didn't say a word, suffered in silence, tossing and turning every day without sleep.This day Chu Hengyuan sent another letter, and also sent a small packet of medicine.It is said that if King Duan drank it, he would fall into a coma for two hours. He wanted to make it clear to Su Qingshu face to face, even if it was a clean break.Su Qingshu didn't dare to do this, and was extremely annoyed, but Chu Hengyuan kept writing letters saying that he wanted to come to the palace to see her in a fair manner.Su Qingshu panicked. If Chu Hengyuan really proves that Zhengda is here, then Zhao Xiyan will definitely know.At that time, Zhao Xiyan was furious, and the Su family had just escaped from the gate of hell, and they had to bring the nine families to hell together.Su Qingshu couldn't afford to gamble, so he agreed with what Chu Hengyuan said.A time was fixed, and Zhao Xiyan was asked to drink the sweat medicine, and then Chu Hengyuan came in through the small door through which the servants walked, and explained everything, and never came back again.

On this day, Zhao Xiyan was reviewing official documents in the study as usual, and Su Qingshu worriedly put the stewed Sydney white fungus on the table.Su Qingshu didn't want to treat Zhao Xiyan like this, she regretted treating him like this, but she didn't dare to bet on the nine Su clans, so trembling, she poured the Mongolian sweat medicine into Sydney white fungus.Then he hurriedly closed the lid, and then turned around and sent it to Zhao Xiyan's study.Seeing that she took the initiative to stew something to give to her today, Zhao Xiyan was in a great mood.

"Is this for me?"

"Yes, the prince saved Ri'an, and the concubines have nothing to repay, they can only express their affection."

Zhao Xiyan thought that because Su Qingshu saved Su Ri'an, his attitude towards him changed a lot, and he took the initiative to care about him.Zhao Xiyan lifted the lid, but suddenly smiled sadly, and put the lid back on.Sending out all the servants around the study, Su Qingshu didn't understand what he meant, but he was flustered and didn't dare to object.

"You still hate me?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"I know you have hated me all these years, hated that I lied to you, hated that I took your body as a daughter."

"Don't bring up old things again." Seeing Zhao Xiyan suddenly bring up these sad things again, Su Qingshu's words turned a little colder.

"What do I have to do to forgive me."

"It's hard to get over the water, does the prince think compensation is useful?"

"To no avail."

"Would you still like to see me?"

Su Qingshu became cold, and remained silent. Seeing Su Qingshu's appearance, Zhao Xiyan trembled all over.

"But you don't want to see each other again in this life?"

Su Qingshu still didn't answer, and sat coldly opposite Zhao Xiyan.Sadly, Zhao Xiyan lifted the lid of the pear and white fungus that Su Qingshu had brought, picked up a spoon and ate it, and soon Zhao Xiyan finished the whole cup.

"I know you and Chu Hengyuan." Su Qingshu was startled when he heard this, and was caught off guard.

"I don't blame you, I'm sorry for you."

"I......"

"If you have feelings, I will fulfill you."

"you should not......"

"When I was at the border, I often dreamed of our days in Suzhou at midnight. I have never loved anyone, thank you for loving me as a man."

"Lord"

"You don't have to say, I will fulfill you, I owe you."

Zhao Xiyan ignored her, picked up the white paper, and began to write eloquently.Su Qingshu couldn't see what he was writing, but now she was heartbroken and burst into tears after hearing these words.Zhao Xiyan wrote three sheets of paper, which were full, and it took a long time.Zhao Xiyan went out, called Xiangyun to move the imperial concubine chair and went to the back garden of the mansion, Zhao Xiyan went to the back garden, Su Qingshu followed Zhao Xiyan by mistake.Zhao Xiyan was lying on the imperial concubine chair, looking at the green trees in the garden, the red flowers and willows, and a pair of butterflies dancing.Zhao Xiyan turned around and smiled sadly at Su Qingshu. For some reason, Su Qingshu felt as if a big part of his heart had been hollowed out, as if something was about to be lost.It took a while for Zhao Xiyan to slowly open his mouth, "Except for being a daughter, I have never lied to you." After saying this, Zhao Xiyan shed two lines of tears, and Su Qingshu couldn't help crying too.

"Don't say it anymore!"

"In the next life, don't meet me again. I'm sorry, I'm going to meet our unborn child."

After saying that, black blood dripped from Zhao Xiyan's nose.Su Qingshu didn't know why this happened, she panicked, the bright black and red in front of her eyes hurt her eyes, and her mind went blank.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xiyan suddenly laughed out loud, sadly.He stretched out his hand and stroked Su Qingshu's face, full of reluctance and sadness.

"Don't you really know what's wrong with me? The white fungus and snow pear you gave me have turned black. I know you hate me to the bone, and I have nothing to make it up to you. You don't want to see me again, so I stewed this pot to give me my last meal. Left and right are only one life, it should have been confessed to the border, and I have been greedy for a few more days. Now it is enough."

"Why do you still eat it when you know it's poisonous! Why do you still want to eat it!" Su Qingshu became hysterical, with tears streaming down his face.

"You must be happier in the future, I'm leaving."

Zhao Xiyan spat out a mouthful of black blood, closed his eyes, and dropped his hands from Su Qingshu's face with no strength.Su Qingshu panicked, her heart ached as if being stabbed by a knife, she grabbed Zhao Xiyan's hanging hand, and shook Zhao Xiyan who had closed her eyes vigorously.At this time, the butterflies in the garden also separated and flew separately.

"No, that's not the case. I never thought of poisoning you. It's not the case. Wake up!"

"I don't hate you anymore, wake up!"

When the servants in the mansion heard Su Qingshu's hysteria, they all ran to the front and found that the prince passed out with black blood vomited from the mouth, and hurriedly invited Xia Shuning.Xia Shuning came to Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Xiyan's mouth and nose were covered with black blood before, but immediately his eyes turned red and he smelled the black blood.Xia Shuning protected Zhao Xiyan's heart veins with silver needles, preventing the poison from entering her heart, and hurriedly sent Xiangyun to invite her father.While crying, Xia Shuning saved Zhao Xiyan's life.Just a little bit, just a little bit, Zhao Xiyan's heart was poisoned, and he was doomed.Xia Shuning looked coldly at Su Qingshu who was kneeling on the ground, held back the anger in her heart, her eyes were full of mist.
