Chapter 103 Old Dream "Ayan, take good care of Little 9."...
Bai Yan spoke very easily, and Yun Qiyin listened, and suddenly felt that things were not too bad.
She took a sip of her tea and couldn't help asking, "Will Song Que really offend His Majesty because of that Zeng Xuan?"
"He dares to make a big fuss in Yun's residence, why do you think he dare not?" Bai Yan said half-truth, Yun Qiyin thought for a while, "Then can you guarantee that my marriage with Song Que is annulled?"
"No."
"Then how do you reassure me that once..."
"There is nothing [-]% successful in this world, especially what the emperor and your father said, we don't know..."
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, if your father is on the emperor's side in this marriage, then it will be too difficult for you to ruin this marriage."
"My father shouldn't be able to..." Yun Qiyin fell silent after speaking, in fact, even he himself didn't have the confidence.
Master Yun really dotes on his daughter very much, but even Yun Qiyin himself knows how much his father values power.
Some people strive for wealth and glory, some people are honored by their ancestors, and some people just want to dominate the world... Grand Master Yun has been in power for half his life, and now he will only pay more and more attention to the control of power.
Yun Qiyin was silent for a while, "You mean, I might be in the same boat as my father?"
"Not really." Bai Yan said freely, "Grand Master Yun is greedy for power, but you are his biological daughter anyway, so I think he can't do anything to create a estrangement from you."
Although these words were meant to comfort me, Yun Qiyin frowned slightly, "I know exactly what my father's temperament is, so you don't need to comfort me. But... I want to take advantage of Song Que's relationship with Zeng Xuan to make him happy. This marriage has been ruined, so where is Zeng Xuan now?"
"The last place where Zeng Xuan appeared was the Grand Master's Mansion, which is why Song Que made such a fuss, and let's be honest, we are indeed looking for him, but there is no trace of Zeng Xuan..."
When Bai Yan said this, Yun Qiyin understood.
She looked at Bai Yan, "You want to borrow my hand to save Zeng Xuan?"
"It's smart."
Yun Qiyin pulled her lips, "If it has nothing to do with me, I'm too lazy to help you, but since it's closely related to my marriage with Song Que, then Zeng Xuan... I'll find it for you."
Since that day when Bai Yan made things unclear in advance, Yun Qiyin's people began to show up.
Sure enough, as Bai Yan expected, Yun Qiyin's people were really powerful. They searched every corner of Yingdu, and finally they actually found a clue.
The Laba Festival came very quickly, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin found Zeng Xuan and placed him in another courtyard, and people came from the palace.
Under the pretext of taking care of the two, the emperor sent a dozen people to Bai Mansion and Hou Mansion each.
From eunuchs to maids of honor, there are even servants.
Bai Yan raised the jaw of one of the servants with his fingers, looked closer, and asked, "How old is it?"
"In terms of adults, the slave is 15 years old."
"Fifteen," Bai Yan said, "it's hard for His Majesty to be so considerate."
These words were actually a bit disrespectful, but the servant in front of him remained silent, even his expression did not change.
Bai Yan looked at him pleasingly, and simply hooked his hands, "You stay and go with Cheng Yang to the Marquis Mansion with me, and the rest... There are few people in the mansion, so just do what you need."
"Yes, my lord!" Although the group of people had different thoughts, they still retreated peacefully.
With the emperor's people by their side, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin somehow restrained themselves a bit.
But just when Bai Yan felt that Xiao Jiuqin was not coming, there was a light knock on the window of his bedroom.
Bai Yan opened the window calmly and let Xiao Jiuqin in.
Master Xiao Hou was used to climbing over walls, and now he moved swiftly, Cheng Yang and the others also turned a blind eye, pretending nothing happened.
Although the two often met each other, they had been busy with Zeng Xuan's affairs during this period of time, and every time the two of them just glanced at each other in a hurry, or they were talking about serious matters throughout the whole process, there were very few chances to spend time together.
Xiao Jiuqin took out something from his bosom, and was about to stuff it into Bai Yan's hand abruptly. Bai Yan subconsciously wanted to look at it, but Xiao Jiuqin kissed it.
"Well……"
Like grinding, but also like telling his heart, Xiao Jiuqin was almost plundered, and bullied Bai Yan completely.
After a while, Bai Yan rested his finger on Xiao Jiuqin's shoulder, and he took the initiative to lean forward and kiss Xiao Jiuqin's brow, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"It's too unreal..." Xiao Jiuqin twisted Bai Yan's chin with his fingertips, and that place was blushed, "I have thought about you and me getting married countless times, but I also feel that this One day is far away."
"It's not far, there are still three more days." How could Bai Yan not understand Xiao Jiuqin's thoughts, there was no difference between the two of them, they were both looking forward to and fearful about getting married.
"I can't wait..." Xiao Jiuqin leaned over again and rubbed against Bai Yan's neck, like a puppy, clumsy and sincere.
"I've survived for so many years, and it's only less than three days, so bear with it." Even so, Bai Yan was also suffering. He stroked Xiao Jiuqin's shoulders and said slowly,
"We still have a long way to go..."
Xiao Jiuqin nodded, and when he moved his head, his hair scratched the side of Bai Yan's neck numbly.
"Don't move." Bai Yan warned.
Xiao Jiuqin didn't say a word, and suddenly hugged Bai Yan's waist for a while, "Can I ask you something?"
Bai Yan was a little stunned, but still responded.
"You have to answer me truthfully." Xiao Jiuqin added.
"En." Bai Yan already had a premonition of what Xiao Jiuqin was about to ask.
"Five years ago... what happened?"
In fact, Xiao Jiuqin had countless opportunities to ask others, and even find someone to restore the events of the year one by one, but he knew that what everyone saw was not everything that Bai Yan experienced.
The moment before Bai Yan was taken into prison, he was still in the academy, which was the favorite place for Confucian scholars in Yingdu, and so was Bai Yan.
Although many people chatted with him, Bai Yan didn't feel tired, and was even more patient than usual, so when Jin Yiwei suddenly appeared, he found a piece of paper from his arms in front of everyone. When the evidence of "collaborating with the enemy" was revealed, Bai Yan glanced coolly around.
With just one glance, a few people took a big step back with guilt.
On this day, he stumbled and fell into the water. It was a Confucian scholar who got along well on weekdays who kindly took his own clothes and told him to change them.
The fine feet and smooth satin made him ignore a slight bulge on the front of his clothes.
It doesn't matter where this letter came from, because Bai Yan knew that if he wanted to impose a crime, it would be useless even if he rolled the nail.
Others can't see the truth, let alone they don't want to see the truth.
On the first night of being thrown into prison, Bai Yan was still thinking about who he had offended, but in retaliation, he actually showed evidence of "collaboration with the enemy", which made him think too highly of him.
Until...someone used both soft and hard methods to force him to confess in that cramped, dark and smelly place. The snow-white confession and black characters ruthlessly smeared the Pingjinhou Mansion.
The Marquis of Pingjin colluded with the enemy, the eldest son was passive and slack in fighting, and the second son committed crimes because of his arrogance... None of them were true.
Bai Yan stared at the black characters, and he knew them by heart after reading them once.
It is a talent to have a photographic memory, and it is an instinct to know how to repay your kindness. He tore up the confession in front of him, looked at the ghosts and monsters in front of him coldly, and sneered, "Things that can't be put on the table!"
It was obvious to provoke the other party, so Bai Yan was not surprised, so he was whipped, burned, even posted as an official... almost suffocated to death.
Even the moment before death, he didn't let go.
The Marquis of Pingjin is full of loyalty, no matter how high the mice in the stinky gutters jump, they can't dirty their reputation.
During those days in the imperial prison, he was tortured, but his heart became more and more determined. Every time he was executed, he quietly seemed to die. Even if his lips were bitten and his temples were full of cold sweat, he knew... Pingjinhou The government is a mountain that cannot be pushed down.
Towering, solid as a rock.
Also supporting Bai Yan to continue living!
but.
The mountain was destroyed by people.
Bai Yan clearly remembered that when he heard that Marquis Pingjin had died, his mind froze for a moment.
How can it be!
Bai Yan couldn't help laughing. How could a person as powerful as Uncle Xiao, who was like a towering mountain, able to hold up the sky and support the sky, die?
But to die is to die.
No matter how much Bai Yan doesn't believe it, it is also a reality.
The mountain in Bai Yan's heart loosened. After being whipped and punished continuously, Bai Yan finally fell ill.
He murmured indiscriminately, and saw Pingjin Hou bow and hold his hand countless times.
"Kid, come back with me?"
Bai Yan was stunned for a long time, and finally broke free from his hand, "No!"
He didn't know what he was thinking of, as if he was a dirty and unknown thing, withdrawn far away.
Looking at Pingjin Hou's resolute and gentle face, Bai Yan shouted again tremblingly, "Don't die, you are a good person...a very, very good person..."
Marquis Pingjin laughed.
"A Yan, take good care of Xiao Jiu."
"Big Brother, Second Brother, and Madam, they miss you very much, don't go..." Bai Yan twitched, and his outstretched hand curled up strangely.
Marquis Pingjin was still in front of him, smiling very softly, "A Yan, from now on there will only be you and Xiaojiu."
As soon as these words fell to the ground, Bai Yan woke up. He took a moment to sweat profusely on his forehead, "Uncle Xiao!"
There was a bone-piercing chill on his body, as if a hundred and eighty daggers had been/inserted/inserted into his bones, scraping his bones bit by bit.
The whip soaked in salt water continued to hit his back, and Bai Yan twitched in pain, and his eyes were in a trance for a while, "Don't take away the son and the others... Xiao Jiuqin will not be able to live alone..."
No one knew better than Bai Yan how important the family of the Hou Mansion was to Xiao Jiuqin. If all his relatives were dead, how could Xiao Jiuqin survive.
He didn't dare to seek death. Even in the depths of this imperial prison, "life is better than death" and "death" is the norm, but Bai Yan is still alive. If he is gone, who else can protect Xiao Jiuqin!
"You..." Listening to Bai Yan's words, Xiao Jiuqin's heart ached. He knew that Bai Yan was very difficult at that time, but he never expected that life would be better than death to torture him.
"It's already passed..." Bai Yan embraced Xiao Jiuqin, "Uncle Xiao said that he wanted to live, and Madam also said that he wanted to live, but Xiao Jiuqin, I understand how tiring it is to live alone, so... I dare not seek death."
"I can't leave you alone in this world, and I can't leave me alone...so I pressed my thumbprint."
"I ruined the reputation of the Marquis of Pingjin."
"It was they who threatened you with my life." Xiao Jiuqin already understood that where it was for the sake of surviving, Bai Yan was all for keeping his life.
