Yan Yunuo only learned about the arrest of Lu Muxun and Yan Yuqing the next morning. At the same time, the Shangfu Bureau also began to circulate that Xu Bingyue had been noticed by His Majesty because of her meritorious reporting and was transferred to the palace to be the Imperial Maid of Honor.
The Imperial Maid of Honor was the personal palace maid of His Majesty. She was the highest-ranking female official in the harem. From the little palace maid of the Shangfu Bureau to the personal palace maid of His Majesty, this was simply reaching the sky in one step!
Before Xu Bingyue left, those people in the Shangfu Bureau who had money and power all surrounded her with a smile on their faces, fawning and flattering her.
Xu Bingyue had always been smiling in the face of everyone's fawning. When she took her entourage out of the gate of the Shangfu Bureau arrogantly, she saw Yan Yunuo, who had just come back from the Imperial Hospital to inquire about the news. The two people could be said to be enemies on a narrow road.
"Xu Bingyue! You are simply too much. You framed Imperial Physician Lu and Yuqing, it must be you! I'm going to take you to His Majesty to argue! "
At this time, Yan Yunuo had already seen Xu Bingyue's true face. Seeing her proud look, she couldn't help but rush up excitedly, but before she reached Xu Bingyue, she was stopped by the two low-ranking palace maids behind Xu Bingyue: "Bold slave, you dare to speak rudely to Head Maid Xu! Do you know your crime? "
Yes, Xu Bingyue was now Head Maid Xu, and her status was half a level higher than Liao Siyi.
This was the so-called rising to the sky overnight and rising to the clouds.
Yan Yunuo was stopped by the two palace maids, and her hands were clamped. Looking at her anxious and helpless face, Xu Bingyue smiled comfortably: "Yan Yunuo, you want to hit me again? Hmph, you want to hit me? Someone, slap her mouth for me! "
"Pa pa!" "Pa pa!"
The loud slapping sounds lingered in the ears. Following the movements of the palace maids, both sides of Yan Yunuo's face were slapped red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth gradually oozed bright red blood.
"Okay."
Xu Bingyue made a gesture and walked to Yan Yunuo step by step. She raised her hand with a chuckle and pinched Yan Yunuo's chin with her slender fingers: "Yan Yunuo, are you worthy of fighting me? You let Elder Brother Shen dislike me, so I will let your Imperial Physician Lu die without a burial ground. "
As she spoke, Xu Bingyue couldn't help but gently lean over and whisper in Yan Yunuo's ear: "By the way, I forgot to tell you. His Royal Highness Rui Wang is said to have been released from the Imperial Clan Court by His Majesty. I also heard that Rui Wang's injury this time is very serious. I'm afraid that he has no hope of having children in this life. Do you think he will still care about Su Wan's life and death after he comes out? "
Rui Wang had come out? And he would never have any children in this life?
Hearing Xu Bingyue's words, Yan Yunuo's mind suddenly remembered the child in Yan Yuqing's belly. That is … Rui Wang's child!
If she went to beg His Highness Rui Wang, would Rui Wang help?
For a moment, this absurd idea suddenly emerged in Yan Yunuo's mind and could no longer be extinguished. She was going to beg Rui Wang, and Rui Wang would definitely save them for Yuqing's sake … …
It has to be said that Yan Yunuo still imagined the people in the world to be too kind at this time.
When she came to Rui Wang's Mansion to see Rui Wang and personally told Dongfang Li about Yan Yuqing and Lu Muxun, Dongfang Li happily promised Yan Yunuo that he would try his best to save the two people.
But a few days later, the news of Yan Yuqing's sudden death suddenly came from the Imperial Clan Court, and along with this news, there was a blood letter written by Yan Yuqing herself. In the blood letter, she admitted that she had an affair with Imperial Physician Lu and admitted that she was ashamed of His Majesty and that she deserved to die … …
Yan Yuqing is dead?
As Yan Yuqing's sister, Yan Yunuo rushed to the Imperial Clan Court alone to collect the corpse, but what she got was an unrecognizable corpse. The corpse was not Yan Yuqing.
After all, Yan Yunuo was a person who was very familiar with Yan Yuqing. At this time, even if she was stupid, she understood something — —
Yan Yuqing faked her death, and everything was naturally manipulated by His Highness Rui Wang.
She "confessed" before "dying" in order to confirm Lu Muxun's crime and make him unable to turn over the day. After all, Lu Muxun was an insider. If he was forced to a dead end and exposed the relationship between Rui Wang and Yan Yuqing to the Emperor, then Rui Wang would definitely be implicated. Now, Yan Yuqing was the one who complained first, and then there was a "dead man tells no tales". Even if Lu Muxun had a mouth all over his body, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. And even if Yan Yunuo reacted now and ran to the Emperor to tell the truth, His Majesty would never believe her.
This move of pulling the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron was really too extreme!
She thought of Lu Muxun who was forced into a desperate situation, and then thought of Su Wan who was also locked up in the Imperial Clan Court and couldn't defend herself.
Yan Yunuo only felt a deep sense of powerlessness — —
Why, good people don't have good rewards?
What had they done wrong that they had to suffer such injustice?
At this moment, without the help of Chen Shengbei in the original plot, she also lost the protection of Lu Muxun, and even less the favor of the infatuated Emperor Dongfang Yao. In this world, Yan Yunuo, who was now alone, finally fully realized the darkness and ruthlessness of this harem … …
After Xu Bingyue came to power, she began to use the power in her hands to constantly eradicate dissidents. She first framed Liao Siyi of the Shangfu Bureau, then eradicated all the people in the Shangfu Bureau who were on good terms with Yan Yunuo, and then replaced them with her own trusted subordinates. As a result, Yan Yunuo's life in the Shangfu Bureau could be described as difficult.
Her lover was framed, and the only good sister who treated her sincerely was also trapped in prison. She, who had always been unyielding, was also unable to move an inch in the harem and was restrained everywhere. Yan Yunuo's indomitable heart, which was bent on doing good, finally began to collapse gradually in this cruel reality — —
"Why? Why is God so unfair? "
In the dark night, she stood on the deserted imperial road and shouted powerlessly.
Tomorrow was the day of Lu Muxun and Su Wan's execution, but Yan Yunuo couldn't do anything. She could only watch helplessly as the people who treated her the best and loved her in this world left her … …
Sometimes, to let a person see reality clearly, it was not necessary to let her feel the same way.
Let her, as a person in the game, watch the people around her be framed one by one and leave one by one. Not only was she powerless, but she would also make things worse and worse.
This was the cruelest punishment.
At this moment, Yan Yunuo was full of despair towards this world and herself … …
"You want to know why?"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Yan Yunuo.
Yan Yunuo turned around in panic and saw Wang Yi standing behind her with a bright palace lantern. The man standing elegantly in front of Wang Yi was the current Emperor, Dongfang Yao!
"Your Majesty!"
Yan Yunuo immediately knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is wise! Imperial Physician Lu and Su Wan were both wrongly accused. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly! "
Yan Yunuo didn't have many chances to see the Emperor. She knew that this was her last chance.
"Zhen knows that they were wrongly accused."
Su Rui lowered his eyes and coldly looked at Yan Yunuo on the ground: "In this harem, there is no need for unnecessary kindness. That kindness is just ignorance and stupidity."
Seeing Yan Yunuo's shocked expression, Su Rui sneered and then slowly said: "Su Wan knew that Beauty Yan made a mistake, but she insisted on bearing it for her, so she should accept the punishment she snatched. As for you and Lu Muxun, you both knew that Beauty Yan had an evil spawn. This was a good opportunity for you to rescue Su Wan and make a great contribution, but you both gave up. Why? Ridiculous sisterhood? Yan Yunuo, have you forgotten that you are not Yan Yuqing's sister at all? She has never regarded you as her sister! You missed the best opportunity to rescue Su Wan for someone who has never regarded you as a sister, and you also made Lu Muxun unable to explain himself. Such a kind person, do you feel disgusted now? "
Disgusted?
You should hate yourself as much as you want. Because of your own mistakes, you let others suffer innocently … …
Hearing Su Rui's words, Yan Yunuo knelt there in a daze —
Ignorant kindness, is it stupidity?
While Yan Yunuo was in a daze, Su Rui suddenly waved his hand. Wang Yi immediately understood and took out a stack of letters from his arms: He gently threw them on the bluestone ground in front of Yan Yunuo.
"This is the correspondence between Yan Yuqing and Xu Bingyue. Now, these two people are thinking about how to kill you every day. If you continue to be a kind fool, then Zhen will fulfill your wish and let you die together with Lu Muxun and Su Wan!" In the end, Su Rui's tone was already frighteningly cold.
This is … …
Yan Yunuo looked at the scattered letters on the ground. She recognized Yan Yuqing's notes.
Seeing Xu Bingyue and Yan Yuqing constantly planning how to kill her in the letters, Yan Yuqing's gaze gradually changed —
How can I die? She can't die, but not because she is afraid of death.
She hasn't rescued Lu Muxun and Su Wan yet. She can't die, she must not die!
"Your Majesty, please give this slave some pointers!"
In fact, Yan Yunuo was just too kind, she was not really stupid. She had long heard that His Majesty still had other implications, so at this moment, Yan Yunuo would say such words.
She knew that His Majesty said this to her, not just to laugh at how stupid she was.
"Zhen can suspend Lu Muxun and Su Wan's sentence."
Seeing that Yan Yunuo finally understood, Su Rui couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to stay in the Shangfu Bureau. From tomorrow onwards, you will serve Concubine Liang. She doesn't have much time left. If you do things well for her, she will help you fulfill all your wishes."
An Imperial Attendant was not Concubine Liang's opponent at all, and following Concubine Liang, Su Rui felt that Yan Yunuo would definitely be taught by Concubine Liang to be much "smarter" than she is now … …
"This slave obeys!"
Hearing Su Rui's words, Yan Yunuo immediately kowtowed and thanked him. When she raised her head again, she saw the shadows of His Majesty and Steward Wang — —
If the harem was destined to be a place where people eat people, then she couldn't just sit still and wait to be eaten by others. She absolutely couldn't!
Yan Yunuo's gaze gradually became firm, and her state of mind finally underwent a qualitative change in this cold night — —
Some people will burst out with unlimited potential when they are forced to a dead end.
And some people, only when the person they care about is in a desperate situation, for that person, they can stimulate the power hidden in their body.
Yan Yunuo was such a person. Boundless despair made her strong.
… …
Winter passed and spring came. Ever since Yan Yunuo entered Xiuning Palace, she was quickly put in an important position by Concubine Liang. At this time, although Concubine Liang's body gradually improved, the chronic poison in her body could never be removed, which led to her lifespan becoming little.
Feeling that she would die soon, Concubine Liang taught Yan Yunuo more seriously. She wanted to teach such a woman who didn't even dare to kill a chicken into a cold-blooded woman who would kill without blinking an eye. This process was indeed very difficult, but it would make Concubine Liang feel a sense of accomplishment — —
She was going to die, but she wanted to personally teach a scourge to replace her in stirring up trouble in this harem.
At this time, Yan Yunuo had experienced so many things and was no longer as simple as before. She would do whatever Concubine Liang taught her.
She vowed in her heart that she must rescue Su Wan and Lu Muxun — —
For the rest of their lives, she will protect them … …
When another autumn arrived, Su Wan, who was still "locked" in the Imperial Clan Court, suddenly received the news that the mission was completed.
This surprised Su Wan for a while. She always felt that it would take at least more than a year for Yan Yunuo's entire body to complete the transformation. She didn't expect it to be completed so quickly?
This day, for most people in the imperial city, was an ordinary and busy day, but for Yan Yunuo, this was a very meaningful day.
In the Punishment Hall of the palace, the blood all over the ground exuded a pungent smell. Xu Bingyue fell in a pool of blood, her body covered with scars. At this time, she glared fiercely at the person in front of her: "Yan Yunuo, you slut! It's you who harmed me!! It's you! "
"Ah."
Yan Yunuo gently squatted down, completely ignoring the bright red color on her sapphire blue palace dress: "How could it be me? The secret letters between you and Rui Wang Fu were not handed over to the Emperor by me. "
Could it be … …
Could it be her?
When Xu Bingyue heard Yan Yunuo's words, her eyes were full of doubts: "No, it must be you. Is there any meaning in trying to quibble at this time?"
"Oh, Xu Bingyue, you have been smart all your life. Why are you suddenly muddle-headed at this time?"
At this point, Yan Yunuo gently leaned against Xu Bingyue's ear and whispered: "I told Yan Yuqing that Concubine Liang will be promoted to Empress in a few days, and because Concubine Liang, who is in poor health, is unable to bear children, she will choose a member of the imperial family to adopt under her name. For the sake of her son, she can only betray you."
In fact, Yan Yuqing's days in Rui Wang Fu were not easy. Dongfang Li did not really like her. Later, he went to great lengths to rescue her only for the child in her belly. Now that the child had been taken away by Dongfang Li, Dongfang Li had long been disgusted with Yan Yuqing. Especially when he thought that his current situation was all because of this woman, Dongfang Li had the heart to kill her.
Therefore, Yan Yuqing's days in Rui Wang Fu were actually worse than death. At this time, Yan Yunuo, who was in an important position in Xiuning Palace, once again extended a helping hand to her.
Yan Yuqing had always thought that Yan Yunuo was still the simple and kind person from back then, so she naturally believed in her words.
Thinking of the separation of her mother and son, and then thinking of Dongfang Li's treachery, Yan Yuqing simply went all out. She forged the correspondence between Xu Bingyue and Dongfang Li, stamped it with the seal of Rui Wang Fu, and then gave all the "criminal evidence" to Yan Yunuo …
"Yan Yunuo, you have really changed."
Hearing Yan Yunuo's words, Xu Bingyue raised her eyes and looked at the familiar face in front of her. The person in front of her was still the same person, but her eyes no longer had the familiar warmth from that day.
"People change. I was forced to change by you."
Now, if Yan Yunuo's experience was written into a book, it could definitely be called "A Virgin Mary's Counterattack".
After saying this, Yan Yunuo slowly stood up and coldly turned to leave: "Steward Wang told me to send her on her way today. Let her die quickly!"
After speaking, Yan Yunuo left without looking back.
"Yan Yunuo! You will die a horrible death! "
"Yan Yunuo, even if Lu Muxun comes out, he won't like you anymore!"
… …
Behind her, Xu Bingyue's increasingly vicious curse was heard. Yan Yunuo's expression didn't change as she came out of the Punishment Hall. The autumn sun sprinkled on Yan Yunuo's face. Yan Yunuo vaguely remembered that at this time last year, she met Lu Muxun for the first time in the Imperial Hospital —
Muxun, Xiao Wan.
I did it.
Tomorrow, I can go to the Imperial Clan Court to pick you up.
Perhaps, the current me will make you feel bored and disgusted, but for the things I want to protect, I, Yan Yunuo, will never regret it … …
The next day, the autumn air was crisp and the sky was blue.
Yan Yunuo, dressed in a neat and clean palace dress, quietly waited at the gate of the Imperial Clan Court.
As the door slowly opened, the two familiar figures finally slowly appeared in front of her.
Yan Yunuo stood in the same place without moving. At this time, her mood was excited, and besides the excitement, there was only endless panic.
She felt that Su Wan was so kind and Lu Muxun was so gentle. Now, she was no longer worthy of being Su Wan's sister, let alone being loved by Lu Muxun … …
"Yunuo."
Seeing that Yan Yunuo had been standing in the same place, Lu Muxun quickly stepped forward and suddenly hugged her in his arms.
In fact, whatever she did in the palace, Wang Yi would report to Su Wan every day. Su Wan would also chat with Lu Muxun every once in a while.
Everything that Yan Yunuo thought they didn't know, in fact, they already knew … …
Looking at the two people hugging each other under the sun, Su Wan quietly walked to the side.
En, if someone came to pick her up at this time, wouldn't it be like the happy ending in the TVB TV series?
Su Wan was just thinking about it. She knew that Su Rui had already transferred Chen Shengbei away from the capital. His Majesty the Emperor would not give any predecessor the slightest chance to counterattack … …
It's time to leave.
In this world, Su Wan had always lived like a saint, but this world also let her see a lot of things that she had not seen in other worlds before — —
Is the human heart good or evil?
Was there really no good reward for doing good deeds?
In fact, this is like loyalty and filial piety. Foolish loyalty and filial piety will only make things worse. As long as each of us abides by our own principles and has a clear conscience, it's fine … …
"Xiao Wan."
The azure blue Tian Kongxia saw a familiar figure coming against the light. He softly called her name, his tone as gentle as ever.
