Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor - Chapter 105
The footsteps outside the house were messy, people were coming and going in the yard, and there were maidservants running fast everywhere.
Outsiders were surprised by the servant who came all the way from Yecheng, but for Yu Qingya, the client, there was only surprise, not joy.
Not to mention the Li family, in the eyes of Laojun Yu, a well-informed head of the family, being able to marry the prince is considered a good marriage no matter what. If Yu Qingya didn’t know anything, she would think so too.
But Yu Qingya knew that it wasn’t.
Don’t look at Murong Xu lingering in the flowers now, proud and flirtatious, but his decent life is simply passing by day by day. It won’t be long before the border of the Qi Dynasty is in chaos, and the turmoil will gradually spread to the whole country. There are too many people who are dissatisfied with the emperor’s favor on treacherous officials and killing innocent people indiscriminately. During this period, a group of rebel troops gradually grew stronger and stronger, and finally, in the decisive battle with the imperial army, the commander-in-chief was none other than the long-lost King Langya.
The appearance of King Langya immediately caused a sensation. The rebel army invaded Yecheng, and the original East Palace quickly controlled the situation. Murong Yan also used the name of “Qing Emperor’s side” to clean up the villains. Yan had no choice but to accept the order in the face of danger to assist his young nephew as the regent.
It is said to be an assistant, but a blind person can see that Murong Yan is bound to win the throne. The adult sons of King Changshan died one after another, but the young and ignorant children survived. Such things are not man-made, they are hell.
Murong Xu was one of the royal families who died without making a sound, without even bothering to make an excuse. And at this juncture, the queen planned to ration Yu Qingya to Murong Xu, and Yu Qingya’s body got goosebumps just thinking about it.
That team of eunuchs was ordered by Empress Jiang to come to Yanzhou to deliver a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box to the Yu family, but who could fail to see that Empress Jiang’s ulterior motives were not in drinking. There are so many families in the world, even in Yecheng, not everyone can get the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the palace. Why is the Yu family who is far outside suddenly remembered by the emperor? Obviously, someone mentioned something to the Queen, and the Queen was curious, so she sent someone to take a look.
The empress asked to see Yu Qingya, the fourth daughter of the Yu family, and everyone else came to congratulate Yu Qingya on flying into the emperor’s house, but she was very anxious and restless. After finally sending away all the people who came to congratulate her, Yu Qingya closed the door and called the system immediately: “System, why did the queen suddenly think of giving me a marriage? Even if the marriage is given, it can’t be King Yingchuan.”
The system is also baffled that such a development has outgrown its database, and the preset algorithms can no longer handle the situation. The system calculated for a while, and said frankly: “I don’t understand either. There are too many variables, and the calculation limit of the system has been exceeded.”
Life is not a model, any sentence or inconspicuous action will have an impact on the environment, and human thoughts are inherently elusive, the superposition of fragmentary small variables, even if the computing power is in units of hundreds of millions of times Superintelligence is also unable to derive simulations.
Yu Qingya didn’t know that it was her past actions that aroused Murong Xu’s suspicion. It happened that the spices she got from the system fell into Murong Xu’s hands. When the situation in Yecheng was tense and General Geng was imprisoned, Murong Xu was born. The idea of marrying a concubine. Yu Qingya is unwilling to marry Murong Xu 110,000 times, and she can know it with her toes. If Murong Yan kills King Yingchuan in the future, he will; and will he treat King Yingchuan’s widow with courtesy? I’m afraid most likely, Princess Yingchuan will “die for love”.
Yu Qingya’s spirit was on the verge of collapse, and she muttered almost nervously: “The empress is sending someone to see her now, and it will take a year to go to Liuli. When I pass the door next year, I will soon catch up with King Langya’s military coup. I can’t even enjoy the treatment of a princess for a day. Now, I will accompany King Yingchuan to become a prisoner. What on earth am I planning? I might as well not marry.”
The system is also silent. Although the official decree has not been made public yet, and the queen just sent someone to give the Yu family a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, as long as Yu Qingya doesn’t do anything shocking, the marriage is already settled. Yu Qingya was worried about her future life, but the system was thinking: “If you become Princess Yingchuan, you will definitely miss out on Prince Langya.”
Yu Qingya was a little unhappy, she was worried about her life, while the system only cared about the task. Yu Qingya held back her breath and asked impatiently: “Langya King Langya, you miss the male lead all day long. Then tell me, what should I do?”
Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames. The man shows his intentions. If the woman is unwilling, just refuse. However, this is the way to say, you can choose the royal affairs?
The system pondered for a moment, and said, “Now the empress only sent someone to look at her. The official marriage decree has not yet been promulgated. There is still a chance for this matter to be reversed.”
“But that’s the queen, who is in charge of the Phoenix seal. If I annoy her by forcefully not cooperating, even if I don’t marry King Yingchuan, will I have good fruit?” Yu Qingya asked dissatisfied. The Emperor’s family never intended to discuss matters with you. If she obediently married King Yingchuan, she would die a year later. If she didn’t marry, she might die now. Neither advancing nor retreating, Yu Qingya really didn’t know what to do.
The system looked at the optimal solution it had calculated, and read it out calmly: “Host, you can’t refuse subjectively, so use some objective conditions to delay or cancel this marriage.”
Yu Qingya was puzzled, and subconsciously asked, “What objective conditions?”
Probably because people are in good spirits on happy occasions. When Mr. Yu woke up, he felt much refreshed today.
There was no servant girl guarding the house, people came from the palace, the whole Yu family was so busy, everyone was busy entertaining distinguished guests from afar, how could anyone stand in front of old Mr. Yu who came to this pass, Wouldn’t it be unlucky to be infected with a whole body of sickness. Yu Laojun lay on his back for a long time, but no one noticed that she woke up.
Old age and infirmity are not casual words. Old Master Yu shouted twice with all her strength. She felt that she had tried her best, but in reality it was just a vague gasp. The maids outside were busy walking around, but no one heard Mr. Yu’s call.
Old Master Yu smiled wryly. When she was old, she was deprived of her dignity as a human being, especially since she didn’t have filial sons and grandchildren. Since no one heard it, Old Master Yu simply didn’t waste his efforts, he just leaned back on the pillow and looked at the dustproof roof above with a little absentmindedness.
Perhaps this is a common problem of the elderly. When Mr. Yu is in good spirits, he can’t help thinking about old things. Because Yu Wenjun moved out of Yu’s house, Mr. Yu was so angry that he was immediately bedridden, and he was rarely sober throughout the day. In her half-dream and half-awake state, she often saw how the Yu family held two weddings in a row. Dreams and reality were intertwined, and Mr. Yu couldn’t tell which was a dream and which was real.
After finally waking up, Mr. Yu looked at the gloomy and dead silence in the room, and couldn’t help thinking in his heart whether she had been wrong for so many years.
She took care of everything all her life, thinking that she would lead the family to prosperity, but in fact her husband died, and her two sons also died. One daughter-in-law died of illness, and the other died many years ago. Talking to her, I have locked myself in the Buddhist hall so far without asking about worldly affairs. His son failed to live up to expectations, and his daughter-in-law was at odds with her, so Mr. Yu pinned all his hopes on his eldest grandson. The child Dalang has been smart since he was a child, and the most important thing is to get close to her. Mr. Yu put all his hopes on him, but in the end, a small fall from a horse took the life of his eldest grandson.
Yu Laojun refused to accept this reality, she insisted on letting the second wife adopt her, and let Yu Wenjun continue to live in the name of her eldest grandson. She even thought that even if the juniors blame her now, after a long time, they will always understand that she is for their benefit. When Yu Wenjun gave birth to a son, she would raise the boy who inherited the fragrance of her eldest grandson by her side and raise her personally since childhood. Yu Laojun even thought about when to teach him to read and when to teach him to be enlightened. But no, Yu Wenjun avoided Mrs. Li too much, Mrs. Yu also passed away early, and neither of the eldest and second householders left any children.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the young and vigorous Yu Wenjun has reached the age of being a grandfather, but he still has no son under his knees, and even broke up with her in order not to remarry, and directly moved outside with his daughter. Old Master Yu smiled bitterly. In Yu Wenjun’s heart, only the Yu family and Yu Qingjia are his wife and daughter. He has never accepted the fate imposed on him by his family.
Old Master Yu was powerful all his life, but when he was old, he didn’t even have a person to greet him. Her husband and son have all passed away, her grandson has turned against her, and there is no great-grandson, and there will never be any in the future. She wanted to let the eldest grandson have a son to offer incense, but it backfired, and instead cut off the incense in both rooms. If Mrs. Yu was still there, at least the number of people in the second room would not be so rare. If I had known this before, how could I let them live in harmony from the beginning, so that at least, Old Master Yu still has people who are filial.
Old Master Yu sighed dejectedly, and calculated all his life, but in the end he had no descendants, which was a huge blow to an old man.
Just as Mr. Yu finished sighing, a young female voice suddenly came from outside the screen: “Mr., what’s wrong with you? Why are you sighing for no reason?”
The visitor turned the screen, and his face was gradually revealed in front of Old Master Yu. Old Master Yu was lamenting the filial piety of having no descendants, but now that she saw the person coming, she let go of her heart problems, and immediately forced a smile on her face: “Si Niang, you are here.”
Old Master Yu stretched out his hand to Yu Qingya, motioning for her to sit beside him. It was rare for Yu Qingya to be willing to visit her younger generation. Mr. Yu was extremely dependent on Yu Qingya, and even flattered her unconsciously. Yu Laojun was immersed in the joy of someone visiting her, so he didn’t notice that she stretched out her hand to Yu Qingya, but Yu Qingya didn’t hold it, but just sat on the edge silently.
Today’s Yu Qingya is not as active as usual, she is out of her mind, as if she has something in her heart. Old Master Yu only thought that Yu Qingya was going to marry into the royal family and become a concubine, so he was very worried. Old Master Yu didn’t think much, and looked at Yu Qingya with satisfaction and relief: “Although outsiders envy me for four generations, but what’s the use of living a long time? If your descendants are unfilial, it’s better to die early and be free. With so many descendants, only you I am willing to come and see me every now and then.”
Old Master Yu said this on purpose to be comforted by others, but Yu Qingya tried her best to smile and didn’t answer. She looked around and said, “Old gentleman is awake, why is there no one in the house? When I came in just now, there was no maid at the door.”
“It’s rare for me to wake up these days. They have been bored all the time, so they often go outside to relax while I’m asleep. Presumably it’s the same today. It’s not the time for me to wake up normally, so they think I haven’t woken up. Wake up, feel free to play outside.”
It wasn’t a long sentence, and Mr. Yu stopped several times before finishing it. Yu Qingya lowered her head, making it hard to see the expression on her face: “The maids have all run away? These servants are really damned. If Laojun wakes up halfway and needs to drink medicine, they are not here, isn’t it dangerous?”
Old Master Yu coughed twice, and said, “I’m used to it. They are all young girls. It’s human nature to be so fresh and lively. Anyway, I don’t have any important things here, so let them go. By the way, Si Niang, the servants in the palace are here, they are all around the empress, if you don’t behave well in front of them, why would you want to run to me?”
Yu Qingya didn’t answer, but stood up and said, “Old gentleman must be thirsty when he wakes up, I’ll go and pour water for old gentleman.”
Yu Qingya slowly brought a cup of tea to Laojun Yu. For some reason, the water surface was shaking slightly.
Yu Laojun just drank the medicine before going to bed, and now she is not thirsty. She pushed the teacup away, and persuaded Yu Qingya earnestly: “I know you are still a young girl, and you have arrogance in your heart, and you don’t want to bow your head to curry favor with others. It is different from your natal family, especially when you are going to marry into the royal family, the relationship you have to deal with is much more complicated than that of your natal family. After all, the queen is your mother-in-law, and you will depend on her for your life in the future. It’s a good impression, and I don’t know how much effort it will save me in the future.”
Old Master Yu’s words came from the bottom of his heart, and he really did it for Yu Qingya’s good. But Yu Qingya’s reaction was flat, she responded vaguely, and kept looking outside the house. Old Master Yu felt strange when he saw it, and asked, “Si Niang, what are you looking at? Why do I feel that you are very afraid of people outside?” Same as coming back…”
Yu Qingya pursed her lips, and suddenly made up her mind, straightened up and brought the tea to Laojun Yu’s face: “Mr. Yu, your mouth is already dry after sleeping for a long time, why don’t you drink water first.”
After all, Laojun Yu lived many years longer than Yu Qingya, and he immediately noticed the clue. She lowered her head and glanced at the tea in disbelief. The water was so clear that she couldn’t see any problems. But Mr. Yu’s many years of life experience told her that the water is poisonous.
Old Master Yu couldn’t believe what she saw, she was dumbfounded: “Si Niang, I have treated you well, yet you…”
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Yu Qingya had nothing to hide. She knew that the servant girl outside might be coming back anytime, and she would be in trouble if she was bumped into. Yu Qingya didn’t want to waste time, so she straightened up and poured water into Yu Laojun’s mouth. Yu Laojun’s cloudy eyes widened, trying to understand many things in a flash: “It’s you! I couldn’t afford it last year, and it was you who gave it to me. Drugs?”
The more Yu Laojun thought about it, the more his back felt numb, and his back was whizzing in the summer: “No wonder, I was always in good health, but since you came to serve me with medicine, my health has become worse and worse. What self-taught medicine, what? Gentle and filial, it turns out that you deliberately harmed others! No wonder every time I get sick, only you can cure me, no wonder I always feel flustered for no reason, and I feel better when I see you, it turns out…”
Old Master Yu was so angry that she used all her strength to overturn the teacup in Yu Qingya’s hand, and shouted out, “Come here, someone poisoned the elder!”
Yu Qingya didn’t check for a while, and the teacup in her hand was really knocked over by Old Master Yu. She was a little panicked, she was afraid that Mr. Yu’s voice would really draw people here, and if Mr. Yu didn’t die, she would be completely finished. Yu Qingya thought to herself, anyway, this is the end of the matter, as long as Mr. Yu is dead, even if the existence of the system is exposed, the dead will not be able to tell. Yu Qingya yelled a system, then took out a bottle of medicine out of thin air, and forcefully poured it down to Old Master Yu.
Mr. Yu watched helplessly as Yu Qingya fetched something from the air, and then he suddenly couldn’t move. Old Master Yu stared wide-eyed, the bark-like muscles on his face twitched, and he spat out a few words tremblingly: “You monster, I should have burned you to death…”
Old Master Yu didn’t finish his sentence, even if she kept her mouth tightly shut, it couldn’t prevent the liquid in the medicine bottle from staining her lips. The medicine on the high-tech plane not only sees blood and seals the throat, but as soon as it touches Laojun Yu’s skin, Laojun Yu can no longer move. Afterwards, the central nervous system quickly withers and dies.
Yu Qingya pressed Old Master Yu tightly, at first with both hands, and finally her whole body began to tremble. The system calmly reminded her in her mind: “Host, she is already dead. If you pinch her neck again, there will be blood congestion, and then there will be no way to pretend to be a natural death.”
As if she had just realized what she had done, Yu Qingya loosened her hands and took two steps back. Old Master Yu’s aging body slumped back on the bed, his neck leaning back in an absolutely abnormal arc.
Yu Qingya looked at her hands and kept muttering: “What did I do…why did I kill my great-grandmother, what should I do…”
“Host, calm down.” The electronic voice without life mechanism said in Yu Qingya’s mind in a calm and cruel voice, “What you have to do now is to put Old Master Yu back in place and pretend that no one came Then leave as soon as the person hasn’t come back. In this way, when the maids come back, when they see Mr. Yu dying, they will only think that Mr. Yu is old and weak, and died naturally.”
“Is it true that no one will find out that it’s me?”
“No.” The system’s voice was unhurried, I don’t know whether it is to comfort or induce, “The medicine I gave you has surpassed the technology of this plane, and forensic doctors, who are experts in your era, will not find Old Yu. Jun was poisoned and died. When Old Master Yu is dead, you can justifiably reject the marriage offer in the name of being filial to the elders.”
Yu Qingjia and Yu Wenjun sat opposite each other, with Yu Qingjia’s wrist hanging steadily above the sand pot, adding the first water to the bubble.
Yu Wenjun looked at the beautiful, introverted and young daughter in front of him, and heaved a deep sigh in his heart.
Yu Qingjia’s movements were unhurried. After ordering some water for the tea, she put down the tea set with her sleeves and smiled softly at Yu Wenjun: “Father, you specially called your daughter over today, what’s the matter?”
Yu Wenjun straightened his expression and asked, “You already know about Jing Huan?”
After returning from the earthquake, Murong Yan, Yu Qingjia, and Yu Wenjun all kept silent about what happened that day, but all three of them knew in their hearts that the paper on the window had been completely ripped open.
Through the dense water vapor, Yu Qingjia’s expression could not be seen clearly. After a while, she smiled softly, and the light in her eyes seemed to be pointing, which almost caused Yu Wenjun to stagger subconsciously: “Father, are you sure his name is Jing Huan?”
