After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 419 Turning Irritation into Tenderness

"Without Jiang Gaofan's cooperation, Hanzhong will be as easy as taking candy from a bag for us." Sikong Yuehu's true appearance has been revealed at this time.

Except for Hongtao and Baili, no palace servants were allowed to enter the back garden of Baoguang Palace. It was really uncomfortable to have so many disguises on the face in such hot weather. Yang Neichen and others were responsible for monitoring the foreign envoys. They knew it was difficult to get any useful information. After the Jiantai incident, they had no hope and would not pay much attention to the guards. When Sikong Yuehu returned to the duty room, he only needed to disguise himself slightly to make himself look less handsome and less likely to attract attention. Of course, if he left the Baoguang Palace and met more people, he would have to disguise himself carefully.

After revealing his true appearance, the Fourth Prince seemed exceptionally confident.

"But with Jiang Gaofan's cooperation, it will be more conducive to the plan of escaping from the predicament, which is as important as taking Hanzhong by trickery." Sikong Yuehu said: "It is not safe to have only Madam Wei's help, but if the Ran clan is willing to escort the Palace Lord and the Left Deputy Envoy out of the pass, it will be truly foolproof. We cannot convince the Ran clan, but we believe that Jiang Gaofan can do it."

Yingshu remained silent.

"First of all, Jiang Gaofan couldn't possibly betray Jiang Tai for Jiang Mo's sake. But if Jiang Gaofan had been loyal to Jiang Tai from the beginning to the end, there would be no need for him to go through so much trouble to set up such a big scheme. The purpose of his scheme was nothing more than to lure me into the trap. But after he believed that this plan could not succeed, why did he continue to deceive Deputy Envoy Zuo?

If Northern Zhao does not send troops, we will not have a chance to escape from Northern Han. Why does Jiang Gaofan need to remind us that we can take advantage of this rare opportunity to seize Hanzhong? It can't be that he wants to frame us for losing our credibility first, so that Jiang Tai can naturally violate the diplomatic record and forcibly detain the prince, right? "

"Why not?" Yingshu always felt that Sikong Yuehu would not believe Jiang Gaofan's words so rashly.

Sikong Yuehu picked up the feather fan and shook it: "He has already told Deputy Envoy Jiang Tai what his next plan is. If it is inconsistent with what happened, Deputy Envoy will definitely not trust him. But if it is consistent with what happened, Jiang Tai will be the first to violate the trust. How can he accuse our dynasty? As long as we don't let Jiang Gaofan lead us by the nose, what's wrong with trusting him for the time being?"

"Jiang Gaofan has confessed such an important matter, why do you still want to hide his origins?"

"He is not afraid to accuse himself of being Wang Zhi's remnant, but refuses to reveal his true origins. This is indeed suspicious." Sikong Yuehu probably felt that his face was truly refreshed, so he put down the feather fan: "I will investigate Jiang Gaofan's unspeakable secret in the future. After returning to the court, I will keep this person by my side and will not take him lightly."

"Your Highness, are you going to recruit him into your fold?"

"After returning to the court, there will be no Jiang Gaofan in the world anymore. I hope Deputy Envoy Zuo will keep his mouth shut even to my fifth brother."

Yingshu did not comment.

"I believe that Deputy Envoy Zuo can tell that although this person is cunning, he is harmless to the emperor, the country and the people."

Why are you so sure?

But it is undeniable that this is indeed Yingshu's opinion.

"One day, I will tell you the truth about Jiang Gaofan's origins."

"From your tone, Your Highness, it seems that you already know this person's background?"

Now it was Sikong Yuehu's turn to remain silent.

Yingshu felt her heart swell up, so she stood up and walked away. After walking dozens of steps, she turned along the corridor and headed towards the shade of flowers. Even the breeze blowing towards her could not calm her irritable mood a bit. She did not notice that when she left, Dianjun was walking up the corridor bridge on the other side of the pond. When she raised her eyes, she found that Sikong Yuehu had not noticed that she was approaching at all. His eyes were directed to Yingshu's back without even turning her head.

Yingshu never worried about believing Jiang Gaofan by mistake, because it was easy to verify the truth of Jiang Gaofan's words. Rather than the truth behind the incident, what bothered her was the restlessness surging in her heart.

She was almost certain that Jiang Gaofan was an old acquaintance of Sikong Yuehu.

Sikong Yuehu knew Jiang Gaofan's origins very well.

But if Sikong Yuehu is also a reborn person, why would he deliberately reveal such a big flaw in front of her? Is there another possibility that Sikong Yuehu recognized Jiang Gaofan, but this has nothing to do with rebirth. It is because Sikong Yuehu knew Jiang Gaofan a long time ago, and there is a reason that cannot be explained for the time being.

Whatever the truth was, she shouldn't care so much.

Because of the overall situation at hand, she should not pursue these trivial details now, even if they are related to the cause of her death in her previous life and who the real murderer who killed her is, she only needs to be on guard secretly and slowly investigate when the time is right. She does not want to avenge herself, so she really does not need to care why the real murderer wanted to put her to death. There are many people who want to put her to death in this life, and she does not have to kill anyone except Sikong Beichen.

People who have died once are no longer afraid of death, and when the time comes for a life-and-death battle, they will fight against the enemy.

Yingshu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She didn't need to rush to verify it, but she needed to do something serious to distract herself. Her bad mood always affected her appetite and sleep, which was not good for her health, let alone her beauty. She didn't have the bad habit of torturing herself.

He called Hongtao and asked her to invite Madam Wei.

The result was not surprising. Mrs. Wei confirmed that Jiang Tai's next plan was just as Jiang Gaofan said. She was also extremely surprised that she had not yet informed Yingshu. How did Yingshu know about such a secret? When she learned Jiang Gaofan's true identity, Mrs. Wei was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

"The Great Shangchen is really hiding something!"

"Are these plans all based on Da Shangchen's suggestions?" Yingshu asked.

Madam Wei thought about it carefully, and said seriously, "Regarding Jiang Xiongying's move, Da Shangchen actually disagrees. He thinks the risk is too high. If he is not careful, Jiang Tai will be slandered. But this is Jiang Tai's obsession. Da Shangchen cannot dissuade Jiang Tai, and he can't think of a more appropriate way. It's logical to keep the Palace Master, so he has to perfect the details. I didn't think much of it at first, and I didn't suspect that Da Shangchen had ulterior motives. Listen to what Deputy Left Envoy said just now, and think about it carefully... Let's not talk about anything else. If Jiang Tai really follows the plan, Yao Shi will definitely be so angry that her skull will smoke."

Yingshu saw that Madam Wei was extremely happy, and she seemed to have witnessed the scene where Queen Mother Yao was shaking all over with anger, so she also laughed a few times.

"I thought Deputy Envoy Zuo would not bother with the Yao family."

"I really won't bother with her, but of course I have to share the same hatred with my wife."

If she smiles more now, it will help her to relax.

"Jiang Tai is at the end of his rope. Yao Shi should not be alive anymore, right?"

"She has repeatedly tried to put Wen to death. I believe Jiang Mo will not let her live any longer."

"It's a pity that I can't witness Wen's end with my own eyes." Mrs. Wei sighed, but there was no sadness on her face.

She has made up her mind to die, and she will enjoy every day she lives.

"Madam, you cannot kill your blood enemy with your own hands. If you still watch your blood enemy applaud because of your misfortune, are you really willing to accept it?"

Madam Wei's smile froze on her face, but it was only for a moment. This time, it was really a forced smile: "What was the Left Deputy Envoy thinking about? I just felt regretful because I had to leave Northern Han before Wen died and go to Dayu with the Palace Master and the Left Deputy Envoy."

"Madam has set a trap and used Jiang Lina to poison Wen, making both sides lose. Therefore, Madam knows that Wen will not have a good end. If Madam really goes to Dayu, how can you feel pity?"

Madam Wei put away her smile and looked into Yingshu's eyes.

"Madam, you have a very hard life. I understand how you feel." Yingshu took Madam Wei's arm. "Therefore, I will not stop your plan just to force you to live. Madam, you have avenged yourself, but you cannot bring back your loved ones. It is rare for you to feel happy. You have endured humiliation for many years because you don't want to die in humiliation."

Yingshu could feel that the arm she was holding was trembling slightly.

"Madam's heart has never been filled with hatred, but has become completely cold and hard. Madam saved Hongtao and Baili not to use them at all. Madam's revenge plan did not need their help at all. Madam pitied them and wanted to save them from the sea of ​​suffering and find a stable support for them. Therefore, she dragged them into your revenge plan, and on the basis of ensuring their safety, let them make a contribution.

These two have been the ones who have truly depended on Madam for many years. I think Madam is temporarily trapped in her obsession and feels that after revenge, this world is no longer worth Madam's remembrance."

"Isn't it?" Madam Wei said in a low voice, "Since Deputy Envoy Zuo has seen through me, I will not lie to you anymore. I have indeed made up my mind to die."

"Madam, you should know that if you were lost, Hongtao and Baili would be like losing their loved ones. They would be heartbroken and extremely sad. Otherwise, why would you conceal the truth and deceive them? You would not leave Northern Han with them."

"Sadness is only temporary. They still have each other to keep them company. They won't be like me..."

"Madam, when you were completely hopeless, you were still willing to protect Hongtao and Baili under your wings. When you get your revenge and stay away from this sad place, you will definitely meet more friends, such as the Lord of the Palace and me. There are people and things in this world that are worth remembering. I hope you can reconsider."

"Isn't it true that Deputy Envoy Zuo has never experienced the feeling of losing a loved one?"

She had experienced it, but she shook her head.

Now the only person she had lost forever was Changle, but she couldn't mention it to Madam Wei.

"I won't force you, Madam. We have only just met and our experiences are very different. If I say now that you are indispensable to me, that would be too hypocritical. Even if I say it, you won't believe it. But I also have a good friend who has lost her loved ones forever. She has lost all her relatives and is lonely in the world, but she is not living a miserable life now."

"Lord of the Divine Yuan Palace?"

"Look, isn't there another person that Madam cares about besides Red Peach and White Plum?"

If we continue to live, there will be more and more people like this. People will have ties in their hearts and will become attached to the world.

"There is still time. Madam, you don't have to rush to make a decision. Think about other possibilities... When the news of Wen and Jiang Lina's death reaches Jiankang, the prince and I will make an appointment to bring a pot of fine wine and drink with you. Maybe Hongtao and Baili will meet their lovers. If the two couples are willing, I will be sure to match them up and we can discuss how to help them hold their wedding. Maybe one day, Chang'an will return to Dayu's rule, and Madam can revisit the old place and pay homage to her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. Even if Madam can't change her mind, can she really rest assured about Hongtao and Baili? Madam should go to Jiankang to take a look and urge me to properly place them. I will not interfere with Madam's final decision because I know it is useless."

"I don't want people to misunderstand that I am committing suicide for Jiang Tai." Madam Wei pulled her arm away and quickly wiped the moisture from her eyes. "I know that if I die in Chang'an, I won't be buried with my family. I don't believe that there is a soul after death, just like I never believe in retribution. If I don't do anything, those enemies who caused my family to be destroyed will be punished by God.

So even if I die without a burial place, I don't mind, but if my enemies know that I died before them, it will really bother me, so I have already made plans, I will not let them know my death, whether I jump into the Wei River or burn to ashes in the sea of ​​fire, I have to make them believe that I have escaped from the Northern Han and gone to a place where they can't reach me. "

Yingshu smiled and said, "If it were me, I would do the same."

“You are not me.” Madam Wei did not raise her hand to wipe her tears this time. She had not cried for a long time. She did not know why she suddenly felt like crying again today: “You will not be as focused on seeking death as I am. You are like the Lord of the Palace. You look weak, but your will is stronger than mine.

I'm very grateful.

I understand Deputy Envoy Zuo's good intentions. You are trying to keep me and telling me that I live and die, and that you care about me. You have promised me a future that will not let me live a sad and lonely future. I believe that you will do what you say and that you mean it sincerely.

If I cause you trouble again, I will fail to live up to your kindness. I can't let you worry about me and then have to counsel and comfort Hongtao and Baili. Okay, I promise. At least I won't die in Beihan. Even if I still can't convince myself to continue living, I will say goodbye to them both. I have to tell them in person because I am already terminally ill. "

Madam Wei pointed to her chest and said, "Because if I live one more day, I will suffer one more day. It would be my luck to be freed sooner. I will leave my affairs to them, and they will feel better."

Yingshu held Madam Wei's hand this time and said, "I have a villa on the outskirts of Jiankang. It was my mother's dowry. I have been managing it for several years. There is a tea forest in the villa. The maid who usually manages the tea forest is named Yu. I have always called her Aunt Yu. She also had sad things that she couldn't let go of in the past. I won't say much now. Madam, you can ask Aunt Yu yourself in the future. Don't worry. Aunt Yu's injuries have healed. Now she mentioned it to others and cried a little. She is willing to talk.

Every time I go back to Huishuzhuang, Aunt Yu cries every time she sees me. As for why this is the case, I guarantee that Madam will never be able to guess the reason even if she racks her brains.”

There are many mental illnesses that are caused by accumulated depression. Yingshu can more or less guess the "cause" of Madam Wei's illness. In order to get revenge, she pushed herself too hard, but she did not really feel the real pleasure of revenge - hatred may temporarily support a person from being defeated by pain, but it cannot be a long-term support, because the avenger is more tortured than the enemy, they will mistakenly believe that they will be relieved only when they are defeated. Madam Wei has long been tired of insisting on this matter.

If you don't express your sorrow for a long time, you will become ashamed to tell others about it.

Mrs. Wei does not take good care of herself.

She shouldered the blood feud of her family's destruction, and blamed herself for being the cause of it. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the existence of the soul after death, she just felt that she had no face to reunite with her relatives in the afterlife.

She felt that she was already ugly.

But in fact, she is still a kind person.
