Dream Broken You Pavilion

A special guest came to General Liu's Mansion in Xiangzhou, a handsome, burly and strong man in his 50s - Liu Yizhi's elder brother, Liu Chuxi.

Liu Chuxi is the brother of Liu Yizhi's mother's compatriot, one year older than Liu Yizhi, and the two brothers are five points alike.

At the age of 15, he went to Chuanyang to study business with a wealthy businessman from Xiangguo. At that time, Chuanyang and Xiangguo had not yet fought, and the business exchanges between the two countries were very frequent. There are several restaurants, clothing workshops, pawnshops, etc. in the various prefectures of Yangzhou. He can be regarded as a veritable wealthy businessman, but he is still single and unmarried only after he is over fifty.

Having not seen his elder brother for many years, Liu Yizhi was filled with emotions besides being excited.After exchanging pleasantries, he sent his wife and Liu Hanxin back to the room, and then said to Liu Chuxi in a low voice:

"Brother, if you don't come back, I will send someone to Chuanyang to look for you."

Seeing his abnormal expression, Liu Chuxi couldn't help feeling tense, and asked, "Did something happen to her?"

Liu Yizhi sighed: "Brother, are you asking about the older one or the younger one?"

Liu Chuxi said anxiously: "Ask everyone, ask everyone."

Liu Yizhi said seriously: "Big ones are good, but small ones are not."

Liu Chuxi was stunned, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Liu Yizhi said indignantly: "Brother, thank you for knowing what happened to them?! For so many years, you have not come back, and there is no news. We don't know whether you are dead or alive, let alone ask them whether they are dead or alive. Live, you... Brother, I never asked you what was going on, and you never told me, because of you, I left a good Beijing official and went to this remote town to be a Jiedu envoy , guarding the children for you with trepidation, I have made sacrifices for so many years, you have to give me an explanation anyway?!"

Liu Chuxi said with a guilty face: "I can't help it, brother, I'm sorry for you, alas - well, I'll tell you all."

He sighed for a long time, and after a while, he said: "25 years ago, I met a girl when I was doing business in Chuanyang Country. Her name is Miao Yue. From then on, I fell in love with her at first sight. After getting along for a long time, she also fell in love with me. We made up our minds, and we are very happy with each other. I originally thought that I would come to propose marriage when she was older, but one day, her brother Miao He suddenly took her to the capital of Hunan, and she never came back. , and I never saw her again."

"Later, I finally couldn't bear it any longer. I found an opportunity to go to the capital, searched for her everywhere, and returned to Chuanyang when I couldn't find her. Finally, I learned from the Miao family that Miao He actually took his own sister I was sent to the Imperial Palace of Xiang Kingdom and became the concubine of Emperor Xiang... At that time, you really didn't know how my life was going..."

"One day about 18 years ago, I went to the capital again. I spent some money and begged an eunuch to bring me a letter to Chen Xiang, Ah Yue's dowry girl. With the help of Chen Xiang, I was able to enter the palace. , I met Ayue. At that time, she was just a very low-level talented person next to the emperor of Xiangguo, and the emperor rarely went to her palace. I wanted to take her away secretly, but she said she could not go. On one side is her elder brother, where can she escape to? For the next year, I stayed in Hunan, and from time to time I found opportunities to sneak into the palace to have private meetings with her."

"But later she found out that she was pregnant. Out of helplessness, she began to approach the emperor. Unexpectedly, from then on, she began to be favored. The emperor also mistakenly believed that the child belonged to him. When she was about to give birth, she was afraid. I was afraid that being discovered would harm the child, so I had no choice but to ask me to find a dead baby outside and send it to the palace, and then secretly send the child out, saying that the child died prematurely."

He raised his hand to wipe off the tears, and continued: "At first, the child was taken care of by a wet nurse, but soon after the child fell ill, he had to be sent to a hospital. He must not be able to go to the palace, but the capital is also in crisis every step of the way. I couldn't take the child to Chuanyang, so I had to ask Chen Xiang to entrust the child to Wu Dexuan, the doctor of the medical center, for adoption, and asked Chen Xiang to give them a sum of money to let them go away. I left a carriage outside the city for them , and then followed them all the way to Xiangzhou, and you will know what happened next."

"Miao He is Concubine Ying's elder brother? Brother, brother, what do you want me to say about you?"

Liu Yizhi really didn't know whether to sympathize with this elder brother or to condemn him. He was silent for a moment, and said: "Back then you only said that this child was yours and Ji Cairen's child, and begged me to take good care of her for you no matter what. Fortunately, Wu Dexuan and his wife treated Jing'er as if they were their own. Jing'er is also sensible and well-behaved, and Ah Xin has also become friends with her, so we can often get some news about Jing'er from her. So, after 16 years, it will be smooth sailing."

"Later, Major General Xiao Han fell in love with her at first sight. Originally, the two got married, and I considered my mission to be fulfilled. However, this child's fate was so ill-fated. Oh, I don't know how much I have suffered, and I almost couldn't survive several times... "

Liu Chuxi asked in surprise, "What happened? What happened to the child?"

Liu Yizhi then told him all about Jing'er being hijacked last year when she got on the bridal sedan chair, and how many times she was almost killed by Yan Luo, the iron face, and so on.

After hearing this, Liu Chuyi said angrily: "This Miao He is vicious and vicious, and his relatives do not recognize him. He ruined his own sister's life in order to curry favor with Empress Chuanyang, and almost killed Jing'er. Fortunately, he died, otherwise I would have killed him." It must be smashed into pieces!"

Liu Yizhi said: "Even if Miao He doesn't die, what can you do with him? You don't know martial arts! Even if Miao He dies, the Blood Slave is still there, you know, a few days ago, the Blood Slave sent someone to assassinate Xiao Han, but killed Wu Dexuan."

"What did you say?" Liu Chuxi stood up abruptly, "Doctor Wu, benefactor, he, is he dead?"

Liu Yizhi said in pain: "A disaster has come from heaven, Doctor Wu is dead, Jing'er is seriously injured, and the four-month-old child in her womb is gone..."

"Child, gone?"

Liu Chuxi's head "buzzed", and he was heartbroken, clenched his fists until his veins bulged, and said in a hateful voice: "Blood slave, I, Liu Chuxi, are at odds with you!"

His face was pale, and he asked, "Does Ah Yue know about this?"

Liu Yizhi said: "Even the emperor knows about such a big event, how can the concubine Ying not know?"

Liu Chuxi lowered her head and hugged her head, crying bitterly: "I'm the one who's sorry for the two of them, I'm incompetent, I can't even protect my own daughter, if Ah Yue knows about Jing'er, I'm afraid she will die of grief .”

Suddenly he raised his head and said: "No, I want to go to the palace, trouble brother, help me, I want to see her."

If you say you enter the palace, you will enter the palace?It's not as easy as entering an ordinary mansion. If you are not careful, you will be killed. He wanted to refuse, but seeing his brother's pain, Liu Yizhi couldn't bear it again. After a while, he sighed and said: "Okay." Come on, let's figure it out."

As if he couldn't wait any longer, Liu Chuxi stood up and said, "Then I will leave immediately."

……

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the Ninglu Pavilion in the Harem

Concubine Ying sat quietly at the table, holding a book in her hands, but couldn't read a single word.Just staring at the flickering candles on the table.

Chen Xiang standing beside him said: "It's so late, why haven't you come yet? Madam, I'd better go outside and wait."

Concubine Ying nodded and said, "Be careful."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have dismissed all the slaves, there should be no one there." Chen Xiang opened the door and walked out.

Concubine Ying stood up, pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious expression.

In the middle of the night, the palace was silent, two of the palace lanterns lit by Chen Xiang were extinguished by Chen Xiang, and in the shadows in front of the door, only Chen Xiang was sitting on the steps looking anxiously.

The side door was pushed open silently, a figure entered quietly, Chen Xiang was overjoyed, and rushed to meet him.

But seeing that this person was dressed in the costume of the guard of the imperial army, and his black eyes were shining with a deep luster in the dark night, Chen Xiang whispered: "You are finally here, the empress is waiting for you."

The man said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Chen Xiang looked around for no one, took this person into the bedroom quietly, then retreated by himself, closed the door tightly, sat down on the steps in front of the door again, looked around vigilantly with a pair of eyes.

In the dormitory, the man's hands trembled a little, he took off his helmet and put it on the table, but seeing this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a burly figure, this man is Liu Yizhi's elder brother, Liu Chuxi.

Concubine Ying burst into tears, and said in her mouth: "You still know to come back?!" There was deep resentment in her choked sobs.

The man also had tears in his eyes, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, hugging Concubine Ying tightly in his arms...

Concubine Ying burst into tears, choked up and said: "You have been away for so many years, do you know how many things happened? Do you know how many times I almost lost my life?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Liu Chuxi also burst into tears, and said, "I'm sorry for you, and I'm also afraid of causing you trouble, afraid that they will find out that your lives are endangered, so I dare not come. It's up to you."

Concubine Ying gently pushed him away and said, "Do you know something happened to the child?"

Liu Chuxi nodded, "Yizhi told me, so I didn't care about other things, so I came here in a hurry."

Concubine Ying choked up and said, "The blood slaves sent people to assassinate Major General Xiao Han, Jing'er was seriously injured in order to protect her husband, and the child in her womb was gone, woo woo...I spend my days in this deep palace , want to see her, but can't, what do you think I can do, what should I do? Liu Chuxi, I really don't know whether I should hate you, you never care about your daughter's life or death, my brother Miao He once came to look for her Before me, he doubted Jing'er's life experience, and he wanted to use his niece to force me to work for him. Even if he is dead now, as long as anyone in Blood Slaves finds out about this relationship, he will definitely be treasured If I use it, I'll let it go, what about Jing'er? I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that the child will be hurt."

Liu Chuxi hugged her, the two embraced and wept, Liu Chuxi murmured: "I'm sorry for you, it's because I'm worthless, I can't write, I can't do martial arts, I don't know anything except business, Ah Yue , I’ve suffered for you for so many years, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t be afraid, I will find a way to deal with this matter.”

Concubine Ying looked up at him and said worriedly: "What do you want to do? You can't beat them, and you can't count them. Don't take risks."

Liu Chuxi looked at her affectionately, and said in a gentle voice, "You have worked so hard for so many years, now it's my turn as a father to do something for my daughter, don't worry, I know everyone well in Chuanyang, I will find a way to let our daughter live well."

Concubine Ying burst into tears, "It's good if you have our mother and daughter in your heart. Once I entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. I had a hard time in this deep palace. Except for constantly praising Jing'er in front of the emperor, and winning the emperor's respect for Jing'er." Appreciation and sympathy for her, so that I can protect her, and I can do nothing else..."

Liu Chuxi: "Jing'er is a good child. I will go to see her tomorrow. I will just take a look at her. Don't worry, I won't tell her who I am. A father like me is ashamed to see others. It doesn't matter if I mention it, I will go back to Chuanyang after seeing her."

Concubine Ying said painfully: "Are you going back so soon? Isn't that why you just came here? It's been so many years since I've seen you, and you're leaving again?" At this point, the tears couldn't stop flowing down again.

A voice shouted in Liu Chuxi's heart: "Ah Yue, do you know how much I miss you? However, my existence is not a threat to your mother and daughter? This kind of pain that you want to see but can't see, you How did you know it?"

Liu Chuxi stretched out his hand distressedly to wipe away the tears for her, just as he wiped away, the back of his hand was wet again by splashing tears, he couldn't restrain himself, he hugged the woman he loved all his life tightly, weeping uncontrollably...
