On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

In the tenth year of Wuhui, Rong Cong was canonized as the crown prince. In the same year, he left Xinxia and traveled to other places to visit famous mountains and rivers.

The first stop that Rong Cong passed was Qingjiangting.

And also met a crying little girl by the stream.

The little girl's eyes were slightly red, exactly the same as the last time he saw Qiuniang, when she begged him with red eyes in the cage to let her and the child go.

Yes, at the age of 13, when Rong Cong first fell in love, he fell in love with a woman, a woman ten years older than him, who was also his father's concubine, and even the mother of a child.

The two of them shouldn't have had any intersection at all, but Rong Cong just fell in love. I don't know if it was the lack of maternal love since childhood or the first time he saw such a beautiful woman. Rong Cong only saw Concubine Chen once at a family banquet, and only once saw her love for her. When he laughed and called him the eldest prince, he was hopeless and could never forget it.

At the beginning, Rong Cong thought very simple, watching her from a distance, creating chance encounters, and then saluting each other, that's all.

But gradually, Concubine Chen appeared less and less often, and even he, the younger brother of the third emperor, seldom appeared again. Rong Cong was very disappointed for a while, and poured his blood on the books. During that time He was appreciated by Emperor Xing and recognized the then Empress Qian as his adoptive mother. She was the best candidate for the crown prince in the eyes of the ministers, and even several noble ladies offered him olive branches.

But Rong Cong refused, because he had a knot in his heart, and this knot was an impossible woman.

If he got married so early, he would have to leave the East Palace to open a mansion, and it would be even more impossible to see Concubine Chen again.

As time goes by, some things are suppressed for a long time and will not be forgotten, but the mood of wanting to get is even worse, and Rong Cong's heart is getting more and more tormented.

It wasn't until two years later that Rong Cong ushered in an excellent opportunity. Horse plague broke out in Beili. Emperor Xing personally led the army to attack Tancheng. The government was presided over by Duke Zhen, while the queen was in charge of the harem.

The empress attaches great importance to him, and even if she occasionally makes some mistakes, she will choose to turn a blind eye. Rong Cong, who has been secretly in love with him for two years, felt such strong heart palpitations for the first time, so, in the second time of Xingdi's departure from the palace, In the evening, he went to Concubine Chen's bedroom.

But it was nothing like what he had imagined.

He thought that his father would love Concubine Chen very much, her courtyard, her palace, must be the most beautiful existence in the palace just like her people.

But in fact, Concubine Chen's small courtyard was deserted and desolate, and there was not even a servant in the palace, and the door of the cabinet was locked from the inside.

Rong Cong was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he was only thinking about Concubine Chen, he ignored the obstruction of his servants, ordered the guards to kick open the door latch, and went straight to Concubine Chen's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the house, Rong Cong was even more shocked. That huge iron cage and chains with thick wrists locked a scrawny woman, and his five-year-old third brother was covered with blue lines and shrunk. Trembling in his mother's arms.

Rong Cong called out Concubine Chen's real name, "Qiu Niang..."

Concubine Chen heard it, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. After seeing Rong Cong, she hugged her son with one hand and grabbed the iron railing with the other. Her hair was messy, her eyes were filled with tears, her nose was red, her lips trembled, and she was dumb. He begged in a voice, "Please, please, let us go..."

Rong Cong swallowed, he didn't know why, the messy concubine Chen could still move his heart so much, this pleading completely broke all his defenses.

What happened afterwards was also very simple, Rong Cong secretly sent Concubine Chen's mother and son out of the palace.

Naturally, this blame will not be carried by him, but it will be buckled on a jealous concubine under the queen's secret operation.

When people die, the lights go out, and nothing happens.

And Rong Cong was unwilling to marry anyone again during these 13 years, not even a concubine.

Until I saw the little girl hugging her knees and crying in Qingjiang Ting, there was a bit of similarity between her eyebrows and eyes.

In an instant, he recalled the appearance of Qiuniang in the cage, which he will never forget.

"He indulged my request in every possible way at the beginning, until I became dependent on him and couldn't live without him. He put me in an iron cage and tortured me day and night. He whipped me and stabbed me with silver needles. The only thing I don't do is to touch my face. Later I found out that what he likes is not me, but the way I cry." Su'e sat on the ground, stroking Rong Cong's face that hadn't changed for more than ten years. .

"...And then." Lu Xiao quietly watched her every move, and added a sentence from time to time.

"Then." Su'e sighed, "Then he found out my identity by virtue of the crabapple flowers on my shoulders. On a rainy day, he ordered someone to bury me in airtight soil with only one breath left. Ready to suffocate me to death."

"You were Shen Yanqing who met at that time."

"Yes." Su'e looked up at Lu Xiao, "It was also at that time that I realized that my mother was not my biological mother, but a maid who cleaned by my mother's side, and she knew about my mother on the second day of our wedding. After running away from home, regardless of her pregnancy, she frantically looked for me, and finally stumbled and fell into the stream and died."

Su'e spoke calmly, but Lu Xiao could feel the sadness radiating from her body.

"I don't know how to comfort people." Lu Xiao said truthfully.

Su'e looked at his mask and chuckled lightly, "You are willing to listen to my words, which is already the greatest comfort to me."

Lu Xiao's calm eyes under the mask became flustered for the first time. He turned away from Su'e and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Su'e lowered her head, "I will stay here as the prince's concubine and return to Xinxia to raise Rong Cong's son, otherwise, where would a person like me go."

"I can take you away." After Lu Xiao finished speaking, his speed was so fast and his mood was so urgent that even he himself was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at Su'e's expression.

Su'e was calm and composed, and now she was very comfortable using Yan Qiuniang's affectionate eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and curled the tails of her eyes, "As far as I know, my face should be very similar to Princess Jingyun, are you Does it hurt to think of me as your sister?"

"No." Lu Xiao subconsciously denied, "Even if they look the same now, they are not alone, I can tell the difference." After Lu Xiao finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

The corners of Su'e's mouth disappeared, "But I have already promised my teacher, and I have sworn in front of my ancestors that I will definitely restore the country of Su for them."

Lu Xiao opened his mouth when he heard the words, and was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered the scene where Su's remnant army captured Shu Yipo and traded in the school field, and when Shen Yanqing allowed the clansmen to sell gold, Su'e was not there.

The people of Su State may have been assimilated by Dong Lin a long time ago, but some things still require personal experience and investigation to get the best solution. For Su'e, who is about to avenge her revenge, it is better not to talk about it.

So Lu Xiao chose to shut up.

Seeing Lu Xiao's hesitant appearance, Su'e also had her own judgment in her heart. She always had a slight smile on her face, as if everything was calm and calm, but she didn't know what kind of pain and pain was buried. Crazy under the skin.

Su'e put Rong Cong's head off her lap, let the body lie flat in front of the two of them, then raised her eyes, and said to Lu Xiao seriously, "Thank you anyway."

"...No, it's the responsibility." Lu Xiao understood that he would not, and could not bring up the matter of taking her away again, he lowered his head, and the next thing he saw, the wound on Rong Cong's left chest protruded. Lots of blue textures.

Lu Xiao was slightly shocked: "This is?"

Su'e followed Lu Xiao's gaze and looked down, oh, and explained calmly, "This is cold poison, a disease passed down from generation to generation in the Dong Lin royal family. When the disease occurs, the whole body is as cold as falling into an ice cellar, but it also has benefits. , that is, it will heal all non-fatal wounds on the body when the disease occurs, and at the same time it can restrain all poisons."

Lu Xiao suddenly raised his head, "Then..."

Su'e nodded, "Yes. The teacher is actually Xingdi's son."

At the same time, Shen Lingyuan also confirmed this inference.

Under the leadership of Kestrel, he met Zhuo Jiaxue and asked about the current situation.

The prince united the defenders stationed in Mucheng and the Hetao area to fight against the elite forbidden army, but at this moment, the soldiers raised by the prince himself were massacring the rebels in the tent, and Zhuo Jiaxue was also very smart, but he just The advance troops used the crown prince as a support to cut off the contact between the front-line forbidden army and the camp, while the large troops lay in ambush in the mountains, waiting for Shen Lingyuan's arrival.

From this, Shen Lingyuan can judge that although the battle at the camp looks intense, it is actually a unilateral massacre. His father's old troops are probably following Shen Yanqing's orders and guarding his safety. Therefore, as long as the prince still occupies the With the upper hand, Shen Yanqing and the seniors will not have any great risks.

It's a pity that the two watched in the mountains for nearly an hour, and the battle was still intense. Although the crown prince was still at the top, he was inexperienced, and the forbidden army resisted desperately.

Although Daying is under the prince's control, he is most likely to be on the front line to supervise the battle, so if the front line collapses, the prince will have no chance of winning.

"It seems that we have to help him." Shen Lingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How to help? Just kill him?" Zhuo Jiaxue asked.

Shen Lingyuan shook his head, "No. We are too far away from the hunting ground."

"What should I do?"

"He wants to succeed in a legitimate way, and he doesn't want to do anything to Xingdi, but we can do it."

Zhuo Jiaxue's eyes lit up, "Good idea."

The two made a decisive decision and divided their troops into two groups with the same goal, both of which were to take Emperor Xing's life, share the prince's worries, and end the rebellion as soon as possible.

The plan went more smoothly than Shen Lingyuan imagined. Zhuo Jiaxue led a large army to respond, and he brought a few skilled Beili cavalry, pretending to be the prince's personal soldiers, and quietly touched the camp where Emperor Xing was.

"How many of you? What are you doing?"
