Chapter 192 It’s a pity that everything ended too early

Nian Xi came to find him, wanting to make a deal with him.

Pei Jian is now being held in the Dali Temple and is seriously injured. It would be easy for him to be reported as having died of a serious illness.

Lu Wensheng was not surprised at all when Nian Xi came to see him.

What really surprised him was the news that Nian Xi brought.

"Prince Jing is plotting a rebellion and has secretly raised his own soldiers and guards in an attempt to seize the palace. The Crown Prince is about to return to the court, and His Royal Highness is standing by the etiquette. Once he shows up, Prince Jing will be defeated. Duke Fu, you are a smart man. Prince Jing's ship will sink sooner or later. It is better for him to give up the dark and join the light as soon as possible."

Private guard.

Lu Wensheng silently repeated these four words in his heart. It turned out that this was Xiao Xun's confidence.

Now everything is clear.

Fang Zan's army went to kill the crown prince, while Xiao Xun's private soldiers forced the palace to seize power, working together from inside and outside to seize the throne!

Lu Wensheng looked at the woman in front of him silently.

She stood there, graceful and charming, stunning and like a fairy. The wind blew, and her clothes and black hair fluttered, incomparably beautiful.

When I first met her, I felt that this girl was more open-minded and frank than her peers. She was undoubtedly beautiful, but she was more than just beautiful. She had a gentle and positive power, just like all the beautiful things in the world.

Later, I felt that she was strong and had an inner beauty. Under her gentle appearance, she had a strong will.

Just as she brought, shocking news.

"You told me this, so you won't be afraid that I won't keep my word."

Nian Xi shook her head, just like that snowy day when they were riding in a carriage together, her eyes were clear and lucid, "You won't."

You yearn for being a gentleman in your heart, but given your current position, many things are difficult to achieve.

"There are hundreds of people in the Lu family. You have to protect them all."

Lu Wensheng was rarely moved, perhaps because he was too calm and usually a bit pessimistic. He never expected that a teenage girl would be so frank and trust him.

"What do you want me to do?"

Nian Xi was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "I want him to live well."

*

That day Pei Jian gave her the seal. The next day, Nian Xi used the seal to take out a box, which contained all the land and deeds under Pei Jian's name, a large amount of silver, and most importantly, evidence that Prince Jing raised private soldiers.

Nian Xi didn't know when Pei Jian prepared all this, she only knew that he handed the box to her with the determination to die.

There is another letter in the box.

Or it can be said to be a line of words, a short line of words:

"Nianxi, I'm home."

I'm home.

go home.

But where is their home?

When I was young, I thought love was forever.

She really intended to love that man for the rest of her life, and if that was not enough, she would stay with him for the next life and the next life after that.

At the tender age of fifteen or sixteen, she devoutly loved a dazzlingly outstanding man with a handsome face and charming smile.

Unfortunately, her passion won't last until the next life.

Unfortunately, it all ended too early.

On that evening when the rain was thick as threads, their relationship ended after ten years of marriage.

Time passes by like a withered tree, and the past is reduced to ashes like smoke.

Many years ago, when Nianxi knew that Pei Jian was entangled with her cousin Xu, she hid in a corner and cried inconsolably, her heart was broken. Time flies, and a lifetime has passed. Nianxi could never have imagined that she would cry again while holding the box like she did that year.

She didn't cry when she proposed divorce to Pei Jian.

But when she saw the letter written to her former Nianxi, and the words "go home" that Nianxi had always wanted, it was as if a hand had plucked her heartstrings fiercely. No matter whether she admitted it or not, some memories were still vividly present in her body.

At that moment, she burst into tears.

For Pei Jian, for himself, and for the feelings they had in the past.

If heaven had feelings, and if time could go back, she would definitely go back to the past and tell Nianxi at that time not to go to Chongming Building, not to meet Pei Jian, not to fall in love with him, and not to be together with him.

How wonderful it would be if nothing had happened, Pei Jian was still the dazzlingly bright Lord Pei, walking step by step towards his predetermined life, full of vigor and vitality, and all the gloom and sadness did not exist.

Even when she hated him the most, Nian Xi never told him to die, let alone now?

This self-righteous man.

The man who left a way out for her.

So Nian Xi took the things Pei Jian left for her to protect herself and went to find Lu Wensheng, to buy him a chance to survive.

*

Lu Wensheng said to Pei Jian, "Since I have already promised her, I will not put you in danger. You can rest and recuperate here."

Pei Jian was silent for a long time.

Lu Wensheng thought he would ask something, but he said nothing.

Maybe this is tacit understanding. Some things, some people, don't need too many words to explain, they always understand each other.

But Lu Wensheng still had a question, "How did you know that Prince Jing raised private soldiers?"

As his uncle, he usually prided himself on being very observant and always acted very cautiously, but he was totally unaware of this. Thinking back, it turned out that the money from the salt-induced greed was used for this purpose.

But before this, I had no idea that Xiao Xun had such courage and spirit.

That's of course because I've lived this life again and have gained more insight into the world.

In the previous life, Prince Jing started a rebellion, shocking the whole government and the public.

Not only Lu Wensheng, but even Pei Jian himself did not expect that Prince Jing, who usually gets angry at the slightest provocation and has a simple mind but no temper, would actually keep such a big trick up his sleeve without saying a word.

However, in response to Lu Wensheng's question, Pei Jian was merciless, "That's because you are stupid and can't see through it."

Lu Wensheng: ...

*

When Xu Wanxin heard the news that Pei Jian was assassinated and his life was in danger, her heart sank.

A feeling of anger and sadness arose spontaneously.

No matter how cruel and indifferent this man was to her, she couldn't just stand by and watch him.

She wanted him to watch her live a good life, and she was fine without him.

But if Pei Jian died, what would be the meaning of her life?

So she went to Prince Jing and asked, "Did you send someone to assassinate Pei Jian?"

Xiao Xun is very busy now. He is no longer the frustrated prince who was confined in the palace. He has a myriad of things to deal with and is much less interested in women.

Facing Xu Wanxin's question, he didn't raise his eyebrows and asked casually, "How is it?"

He really did it!

"Why did you hurt him?"

Xu Wanxin usually spoke in a soft voice, and rarely spoke so harshly. Xiao Xun put down his pen, raised his head from behind the desk, and looked at her for a moment with his head tilted slightly, and said indifferently, "Are you questioning me?"

There was a cloud on his face, and a mocking smile hung on the corner of his lips, "My woman, is she still thinking about other men in her heart?"

Xu Wanxin was startled, lowering her eyes and changing her attitude, "Don't you understand Wan'er's feelings, Your Majesty? But he is my cousin after all, so I am only asking this question."

After all, he couldn't let it go, and he looked at Xiao Xun's face and said cautiously:

"I heard that my cousin is now being held in the Dali Temple. Your Highness, can you please tell Lord Lu to let my cousin go back to recuperate?"

"My engaged cousin."

Xiao Xun stared at her with a half-smile, sliding his gaze from her face to her chest, and said in a flirtatious and frivolous way, "Be honest, and I will confer a title on you because of your kindness."

"If you continue to be so arrogant and ignorant, don't blame me for not reminding you. You will suffer the consequences in the future."

Good position...

Xu Wanxin was shocked, "Won't you marry me as your queen?"

"Marry you? Queen?"

"Are you worthy?"

"The queen always wants a woman with a clean background. Are you one of them?" Xiao Xun frowned, as if he had heard a joke. "How did my princess die? Do you really think I don't know?"

His words were like a basin of ice water that poured over Xu Wanxin. She endured the trembling all over her body and gritted her teeth, "Wan'er doesn't understand what the prince said."

"Whether you understand or not is none of your business. I warn you, be aware of current affairs. I will not treat you unfairly. If you are as ignorant as the previous princess, be careful of the consequences."

After coming out of Prince Jing's Mansion, Xu Wanxin felt dazed. In the May weather, the sunlight shining on her body did not provide any warmth at all, and only made her feel cold all over.

It turned out that Xiao Xun knew about the death of cousin Xun.

He allowed himself to do so.

He wanted to get rid of his wife by himself and then win the mercy of His Majesty.

Later, his plan failed and he was expelled from the capital by His Majesty, which is when he suddenly began to rebel.

It turns out that Xiao Xun would have taken this step regardless of her presence or absence.

She should have realized something was wrong.

At that time, the news of Xiao Xun's leaving Beijing to become a feudal vassal came out, and she came to persuade him, but Xiao Xun was in the main room of cousin Xun, and he did not show any signs of being a traitor. She brought up the matter of Fang Zan and Fang Hongxi, which only gave him more power.

Xu Wanxin always thought Xiao Xun was narrow-minded and weak-minded, but now that she has started over, she is the only one who looks like a little clown.

But she did so much——

How could she be willing?

How can I accept this!
