[Traveling] Attacking Wife Trick

Chapter 38 Volume 37·Shocking

He felt the death of those around him so vividly.

It is different from the heroic ambition on the battlefield and sacrifice for the country.This time, there is no meritorious service, no praise, and no future generations to sing.An Rong walked very quietly, very much like his temperament, always well-behaved and sensible, less happy and more silent.

That person has experienced many things, but he couldn't get past the hurdle in his heart after all.He couldn't move forward, so he couldn't go back any further.

The fragments of the past are vivid.Ying Cheng stood in An Rong's room, not saying a word, as if he had become a speck of dust in the vastness of everything, swept and swallowed by overwhelming memories, struggling in the lingering gloomy world, and then complacent with the status quo, Obey the destiny, wait for the millennium to decay, and like all small creatures, they will eventually disappear in the long river of history.

The soft weeping at the door continued uninterrupted. After a long time, Yingcheng finally responded.His steps were somewhat mechanical, and as if he had expended a lot of effort, he slowly turned around and walked to the door. He saw Zhao Tingyun who was kneeling and bowing his head.

Yingcheng felt that he should comfort the person in front of him, but he opened his mouth several times, but still didn't know what to say.At this moment, he felt very tired.

The two sat side by side on the stone steps like this, and the morning light in the distance formed a warm ball, gently and soothingly bringing endless vitality to the capital.However, the crying from time to time made the room surrounded by an atmosphere of sadness that could not be dispelled.

Such a depressing feeling reminded Ying Cheng of An Rong last night, and he forced himself to cut off the scene, "Don't cry." As he said this, Ying Cheng found his voice was dry and hoarse, and the strangeness made him uncomfortable. Dare to admit, "An Rong, he's just..." relieved.

Unable to continue, Ying Cheng gently hugged Zhao Tingyun's shoulders. He had never done such a gentle move towards him. At this moment, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to do it.

"It's all right." Ying Cheng repeated in a low voice as if comforting himself, "He's fine...it's all right..."

However, Zhao Tingyun, who was in his arms, finally broke out all his grievances until this moment. He grabbed Yingcheng's arm and couldn't stop crying, his voice was broken and he couldn't even speak idioms, "An Rong...he...he died !he died……"

Yingcheng hugged Zhao Tingyun tightly, and he didn't speak anymore, because he had nothing to say.

In the courtyard, the weeping willows also lost their former splendor, and the peach blossoms fell like rain.

The spring breeze mourned him.

On the second day of An Rong's death, Ying Cheng heard the news that Ying Lan had decided to marry Ji Chang Ling.

There was no abnormality on his face, on the contrary, he was calmer than ever.

The tea in hand has been cold for a long time.Until Ning Xiang came to the side worriedly, and said tentatively, "My lord...can I change a cup for you?"

Yingcheng's fingers moved slightly, his gaze finally fell on the table, and he glanced at the carved white jade cup again, shaking his head for a moment and said, "No need. I'm going to the palace, now."

For him, the road in the palace is too familiar.Duanhuamen, Yongle Hall, Yanshou Palace... I have been here thousands of times, but this time, Yingcheng stood on the corridor with glazed palace lanterns, he felt at a loss and confused.

The palace people passing by kept bowing to him one after another.But Ying Cheng didn't want to take these things into consideration, he came to Ying Lan's bedroom, stopped and raised his head, as if he wanted to remember this place deeply.

"What's wrong with you?" A smiling voice in front of him interrupted Ying Cheng, only to see Ying Lan standing in front of him, still gentle and lazy, dressed in blue The gown made her complexion even fairer, "Why don't you come in, instead stand there?"

Yingcheng also wanted to follow his example, pretending that nothing happened, still talking and laughing freely, but unfortunately he couldn't seem to do it.Meeting Ying Lan's eyes, Ying Cheng said in a flat tone, "I dare not enter without the permission of the prince."

Ying Lan was taken aback by this attitude. He looked at Ying Cheng a few times, but he didn't find anything unusual. After a while, he smiled again and pulled Ying Cheng into the palace, "Something is wrong today. , with a serious look, those who didn’t know thought I was bullying you.”

Yingcheng didn't answer his words.

Sensing keenly that something was going on, as soon as she entered the hall, Ying Lan winked and made everyone retreat.Soon, there were only two brothers left.

"Perhaps, I guess why you are upset." Ying Lan pushed him into a chair and sat down, while she sat beside Ying Cheng, "Is it because I want to marry Ji Changling?" They grew up together It is not difficult for Ying Lan to guess what her younger brother is thinking, especially since Ying Cheng came here to tell her that Ji Changling already has her own heart, and now she will naturally be angry when she hears the news.But... I also have ways to convince the other party.Ying Lan smiled and said, "Actually, this matter... I am also very embarrassed, you know, Father Jun..."

"I just want to tell you something." Ying Cheng was not the person who was kept in the dark about everything before, so he didn't want to listen to Ying Lan making up stories, so he simply cut off the other party's words, Ying Cheng said, "An Rong is dead."

This sentence was said without beginning and end, without even a little foreshadowing.

Ying Lan's hand that was about to grab the teacup abruptly stopped in mid-air.After a moment, he withdrew his hand, straightened his body, and said calmly, "What do you mean?" After saying that sentence without warning, others may not be able to see it, but Ying Lan felt that her actions just now were stiff and panicked.

"The prince must know better than I do." By now, Yingcheng had calmed down a lot, and his disappointment and anger seemed to have settled into a huge rock that could not be moved.Now, I just want to explain everything to the other party.

There was silence in the hall, and Ying Lan was not stupid. Judging from Ying Cheng's previous state, there was no point in denying some things.Because my younger brother is not stupid, not only is he not stupid, but sometimes he is so sensitive that it makes people headache.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ying Lan is relieved a little, he will not be so stupid as to put on a show when the other party comes prepared.This time, he finally picked up the cup steadily, took a sip slowly, and said, "Do you think An Rong's death has something to do with me?"

"Isn't there?" Yingcheng looked at him, "You saved him, isn't it normal for him to obey your orders? Lurking in Zhao's house, spying on me in the palace, poisoning the cup, all the truth is revealed Then commit suicide. You arranged this move very well, prince."

As if hearing something funny, Ying Lan asked back, "You said I let him poison you?"

"Under death without proof, of course the crown prince can say whatever he wants." Ying Cheng's lips curled up, his eyes had no warmth, they were icy cold.

Aroused by this almost mocking smile, Ying Lan suddenly got up and said, "Let me tell you, I really didn't know anything about the poisoning before. But I admit that I hope you abolish Zhao Tingyun's position. You Do you think I'm that stupid? Poisoning is a desperate act, and if it is revealed, the gain outweighs the loss! Besides, if I want to share power, I can just marry Ji Changling, so I don't need to harm his younger brother?"

Ying Cheng was unmoved, and could even be said to be indifferent, almost cold. He also got up, his expression blank, "Prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, since you said no, then..."

Ying Lan frowned, and after sitting down again, she tried her best to calm down and said, "Have you had enough trouble today? You have always been a prince. Why, are you determined not to recognize my brother?"

He purposely emphasized his words a bit, because he knew that Ying Cheng would definitely take into account the feelings of the two brothers, so he didn't say any more.However, unexpectedly, Yingcheng looked at him quietly for a moment, and said clearly, "The crown prince is the king in the future, and there is no difference between me and the courtiers. They are all bowing down, the way of a monarch and ministers." This sentence is decisive and cannot be refuted.

Ying Cheng had figured everything out as early as the moment she learned all the truth and Ying Lan insisted on marrying Ji Changling.Their brotherhood, I am afraid, has come to an end.

After saluting respectfully, Yingcheng turned around and was about to leave.

Ying Lan gritted her teeth to hold back her anger and said, "You are like this, don't you even care about family affection!"

"Family love?" Hearing this, Yingcheng stopped in his tracks, "It's you who abandoned family affection first."

"That's because you are not me at all. Can you understand how I feel in this position!?" Ying Lan walked in front of Ying Cheng, "You are right in saying that we can all be replaced. Sitting down to the prince After this position, my life is not like myself, you know? Treat people generously, be courteous, outstanding demeanor, so many shackles, and I have to do better than these. But no matter how hard I try, my brother But you can get thousands of favors without spending any thought or effort, do you know what I think?"

Ying Lan clasped Ying Cheng's arm. Although his face was not too turbulent, his tone revealed too much emotion, "I'm not afraid of losing to others, but I'm afraid of losing to my own brother! I can tolerate other people's betrayal and Laughing, but I can’t imagine you stepping on my failure to ascend to the throne! You say I don’t care about my family? Even if I’m so scared, I never thought of killing you!”

"You are so ridiculous." Yingcheng looked at him, his eyes were full of unconcealable amusedness and sadness, "Is it really disregarding family affection if you have to wait until my life is taken? Your Highness, Your Highness, I have actually been prejudiced by you a long time ago I don’t know how many times I’ve been killed by my suspicions!”

"I'm biased and suspicious?" Ying Lan laughed back angrily, "How do Father Jun and Daddy treat you? Do you want me to explain them one by one? They have loved you since childhood and thought of everything for you. They are afraid that your life will not go well. What about me? In addition to responsibility, responsibility or responsibility!"

The great sadness came like a gust of wind, Ying Cheng had never been so angry before, his heart seemed to be ruthlessly divided over and over again with a sharp knife.Suspected, accused, and misunderstood, all of these made him almost collapse, and Ying Cheng asked, "Father Jun is thinking of me? Brother, how on earth did you say such a thing?!"

All the grievances and unwillingness seemed to have opened the gate, and Ying Cheng grabbed Ying Lan's shoulders. His voice became deeper because of his anger, as if on the eve of a heavy rain, "You said I had a good life? Let me tell you! I am Your shadow! Everything I do is to pave the way for you! Why do I want to marry Ji Changxi? Supporting the Ji family is a lie, but it is true that Junfu controls the Ji family! Why do I want to marry Zhao Tingyun? Because I want to fight for civil and military affairs for you Power, sweep away the alien voices in the court! I live a happy life? You are blinded by power! Everything I do, everything I sacrifice is for whom!?"

"I couldn't believe that you looked at me like this before. Do you really think of me as your real brother?" Ying Cheng slowly closed his fingers on Ying Lan's shoulders, "I'm not your enemy! I'm not your enemy either! I don't covet your position! I'm not as greedy as you!"

Because of Yingcheng's words, the palace suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The emotions of both of them were a bit too much, but they didn't break out any bigger conflicts. Ying Cheng's face was full of gloom, while Ying Lan couldn't believe it. He looked at his younger brother and was unable to say anything.

Finally, as if there was some reaction, Ying Lan stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Ying Cheng's face. Since childhood, he has never seen this brother with such emotions. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked. He I was so shocked by Yingcheng's words that I couldn't make a sound.

Taking a step back, Yingcheng avoids his hand, "Now you are marrying Ji Changling, also to contain me. Do you have half affection for An Rongke? He has done so much for you. Does it matter if others do it for you? You don't care what you pay? Because the only thing you care about is yourself."

After saying these words, he took a last look at Ying Lan, and finally stopped hesitating. When he passed by, he was determined as if he would never meet again in this life.

Ying Lan was naturally aware of his attitude. All kinds of emotions were mixed together so that he couldn't figure it out. However, he instinctively wanted to go up and hold him back. For the first time, he really felt the fear, the fear of losing something important Could it be that he was blinded by power?Is it because I gradually lost myself on the road to the emperor?

When he turned around and wanted to keep Yingcheng, he saw that the man had gone further and further away, leaving only a blurred figure from his back.Under the setting sun, depressed and lonely, gradually blending into the chaotic sky, it seems irretrievable.

In Prince Rui's residence, everyone was silent for several days.

Zhao Tingyun stayed in her room all day, unwilling to see anyone except Yingcheng.Although he often picks on An Rong and hates this and that, but he really doesn't feel lonely until the person is gone.In Prince Rui's Mansion, besides An Rong, who else does he have?Such a sudden blow made the boy silent for a while.

Ning Xiang once asked Yingcheng, "Your Majesty, where are we going to bury Anrong? He is a sealer, and the old man often said that the soul should return to its homeland, but..."

Yingcheng shook his head, An Rong didn't want to return the seal.It is not the land of peace and happiness that he is nostalgic for, so why continue to torture his soul?

"Let him stay in the palace, this is also his home." Apart from Prince Rui's palace, where else could he go?The prime minister's mansion?I'm afraid that is not the place An Rong really wants to stay, the place that person misses the most...it should be when he was with Ying Lan, but it's a pity...

In the place covered by green grass, a few peach blossoms fell on it alone. Although it is the season of spring, it still makes people feel dry and melancholy.

Standing under the shade of the old trees, Yingcheng looked at the land where there was no trace of reclamation, and said nothing for a long time.

Someone behind him approached him, holding Yingcheng's right hand with a warm and strong hand.

"My lord..." The visitor sighed softly, "Why bother?"

"I always feel... no matter what I do, I will never succeed." Ying Cheng lowered his head and held that hand instead, "I can't protect you, I can't save An Rong, and I can't even maintain the brotherhood .Chang Xi...why did this happen?"

"That's because," Ji Changxi reached out to caress his face, and then hugged Ying Cheng, "you put too much burden on yourself. I can protect myself, and I can protect you. But An Rong, that's what he did." The choice we made... After all, we are not him..."

"My lord," Chang Xi held his face, the two looked at each other and their foreheads touched, "For the prince, you have already done what you should do..."

"Chang Xi..." Ying Cheng grabbed his wrist, "I'm sorry. It was An Rong him..."

"I know what you're going to say." Ji Changxi interrupted him, "He's gone, so there's no point in talking about it...Forget about it, my lord."

"Let's go back to Northern Xinjiang, I don't want to stay here anymore." It doesn't matter if you are timid or cowardly.Yingcheng didn't want to stay in the capital for a moment, he just wanted to leave quickly.

Thousands of miles away, never see each other, is it possible that nothing will happen like this.

Ji Changxi nodded, that's okay... After all, no one is happy here.

When Zhan Xiao learned that Yingcheng was going to Northern Xinjiang, he was very surprised, almost frowned, and subconsciously objected.Fortunately, he controlled his emotions rationally. After talking with his son, he also found that Yingcheng was worried.Thinking that the child might still be troubled by the poisoning of the Ji family, so he didn't stop him much, he just said that he wanted to discuss with Ying Congyu, and if the other party agreed, then let Yingcheng set off for the northern border.

However, Yingcheng was not allowed to wait for Zhan Xiao's reply.A piece of news from Northern Xinjiang left him stunned—Liang Chu had officially started the war.

In this way, the matter of going to northern Xinjiang seems urgent.Besides, Chang Xi's health is almost in good shape.Yingcheng thought that instead of waiting, he might as well go directly to the palace to meet Ying Congyu.

One day, just as he was adjusting his clothes, Ning Xiang knocked on the door in a panic.

"My lord! There are many people in the palace!"

"What's the matter?" Yingcheng was a little strange, people in the palace?Could it be that the father of the king ordered him to go to northern Xinjiang?If this is the case, I don't have to go to the palace again.

"I don't know... but the people who came here are very strange," Ning Xiang said, "It doesn't look like a servant in the palace, but it looks like... it looks like a guard next to His Majesty."

"What?" Yingcheng paused, and he whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Ning Xiang fell silent and didn't say anything, just followed behind Yingcheng.

When he actually came to the front hall and saw those people, Yingcheng was shocked, because Ning Xiang was right, those people in soft armor uniforms were the guards of the imperial army trained by Ying Congyu.This forbidden army does not belong to any power in the court, but only obeys the orders of the current monarch.

"My lord." Those people did not forget etiquette when they saw Ying Cheng.One of the leaders who looked like a leader came to the front, saluted and said, "Your Majesty has ordered you to invite Mr. Ji side to the Ministry of Punishment." He showed the token in his hand to Ying Cheng, " Please forgive me, my lord."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was astonished.

Compared to Ning Xiang and Mu Tang who were at a loss, Ji Changxi quickly calmed down. Why did this happen?In connection with the recent war in northern Xinjiang, there is only one possibility—something happened to the second brother.

He looked a little dignified, but he didn't ask any more questions. He wanted to go with those people, but was stopped by Yingcheng.

The two looked at each other, and Ji Changxi shook his head at him.

Yingcheng held his hand, and although he was anxious, he tried his best to calm down and said, "May I ask, why did you come to the palace to lead someone in person?"

"This..." A guard closest to Yingcheng hesitated for a while, "This is a direct order from His Majesty, my subordinate..."

The unfinished words were stopped by their leader with a wave of his hand. The young guard leader said seriously and respectfully, "Your Majesty, this order is indeed His Majesty's intention. Regarding the Ji family, His Majesty only gave you eight words." He glanced up at Yingcheng, Ji Changxi and the others, and finally his eyes fell on Yingcheng again, "Collaborate with the enemy and treason the country, support the army and cause chaos."
