Chapter 348： Female champion VS dandy 13┃The nightmare of disappearing

Zhuang Li, whose palm was smashed, came home early from school, but he was not idle. First, he followed Mr. Tan to learn medical skills, and then locked himself in the house to write and draw. Finally, he took out six drawings and ordered his servants to send them to six houses. A carpenter's shop, making the parts on the blueprint.

In the evening, Zhuang Xiaohui, who went out to buy daily necessities, ran into his room in a hurry, her face full of surprise: "Brother, Feng Yu was expelled from the palace and Yu Yuxian was dismissed, you did it, right?"

Zhuang Li immediately hid his hand covered with ointment in his sleeve, shook his head and said, "I'm just an introduction. The emperor knows all the things they do behind their backs."

"You all know? Then why did the emperor let Feng Yu be the crown prince in his last life?" Zhuang Xiaohui was full of surprise.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Li's face darkened, and after a long silence he said, "The emperor probably has other arrangements."

Zhuang Xiaohui thought for a moment, and her eyes gradually brightened: "Brother, since the emperor knows everything, after the two of us died in our previous life, the fate of the fifth prince and Yu Yuxian will definitely not be very good. The emperor will take care of them."

Zhuang Li let out a light hum, but rubbed a piece of paper on the table with all his might.

Only then did Zhuang Xiaohui realize his strangeness and asked with concern, "Brother, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm just thinking about things. Xiaohui, come here." Zhuang Li forced a smile and waved to his sister.

Zhuang Xiaohui sat obediently beside him and looked at him worriedly.

"Xiaohui, in fact, the emperor has long known that Yu Yuxian is a woman, but he still hired and supported her." Zhuang Li threw out an astonishing remark.

"What?" Zhuang Xiaohui's eyes were bigger than copper bells, and she hurriedly said, "Why didn't the emperor expose her? Could the emperor—"

Thinking of Yu Yuxian's heroic but not losing her bright and dignified appearance, and thinking of the crazy bees, waves and butterflies around her, Zhuang Xiaohui suddenly realized.

Zhuang Li slapped her forehead with his knuckles: "What nonsense! The emperor has absolutely no meaning for Yu Yuxian. Do you remember what the emperor's mother did before she got married?"

Thinking of the empress dowager who had been a female general, Zhuang Xiaohui slapped her palms and said, "Brother, I understand, the emperor is grateful for the achievements of the empress dowager, so he treats Yu Yuxian preferentially."

"So what?" Zhuang Li stared into her eyes.

After a little thought, Zhuang Xiaohui understood: "So it is our luck that the emperor is so generous to the women in the world. We don't have to tie ourselves to those stereotypes, we can try to go out. With our original appearance. We women can also have our own world."

Zhuang Li smiled gratified: "That's exactly what I mean, so from now on, do whatever you want to do with confidence, and don't feel tied down if you think you are a woman."

Zhuang Xiaohui, whose mind was further liberated, clapped her hands and laughed: "Brother, you are right, in fact, many times I have tied myself up. I can't be like Yu Yuxian, who lost the real me before I set off."

She looked out the window at the flowery courtyard, with tears in her eyes, but also full of hope.

"Do you still want to do business and open a shop?" Zhuang Li asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Zhuang Xiaohui nodded vigorously.

"Then do you want to open stores all over Dayan?" Zhuang Li continued to ask.

Zhuang Xiaohui hesitated: "I'm afraid this is difficult."

"You just say whether you want it or not."

"Of course I do."

"Then do you want to become Dayan's number one rich businesswoman?"

"Is this also possible?"

"You just say whether you want it or not."

"Definitely!"

"Do you want to change the fate of women all over the world, so that they can have independent and equal rights and status in the family and society?"

"I think, I dream!" Zhuang Xiaohui's voice choked.

"As long as you want, you can realize these wishes." Zhuang Li held her trembling hand.

"But what should I do, brother? Even the emperor can't change the fate of a woman, let alone me?" After the heroic feelings receded, Zhuang Xiaohui became timid again in the face of the cruel reality.

"Don't be afraid, brother will help you. Let's take it slowly, don't worry. Brother has chosen a store, let's open the first store first." Zhuang Li pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "Look , is our goal very far away?"

Zhuang Xiaohui covered her eyes and looked at the horizon, her face full of fear.

"Look at your feet again, we're going from the first step to the second, isn't the distance very close?" Zhuang Li took two steps slowly.

Zhuang Xiaohui lowered her head and looked, her face couldn't help showing a relaxed expression.

"However, it is this short distance, one step after another, that allows us to finally reach such a distant goal." Zhuang Li pointed to the horizon and said earnestly: "So, we can keep our wishes in our hearts and our eyes on the soles of our feet. , take it one step at a time."

He pulled his sister's sleeve, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Come on, come and walk with your brother. Old Tan said that walking every day is good for your health. Let's walk."

He pushed open the door and walked into the magnificent sunset.

Zhuang Xiaohui looked at his back, and her heart was as open as the splendid sky.

That night, Zhuang Xiaohui, who was extremely excited, didn't fall asleep all night.

Feng Ming, who was attacked by nightmares every night, was also prepared to stay up until dawn with his eyes open. He didn't dare to close his eyes, because the consequence of letting himself sleep too deeply would be to lose control of his brain. At that time, his subconscious mind will bring him back to the small square courtyard. There is a deep dark well in the middle of the courtyard. The bottom of the well connects to Huangquan, and the roars and groans of the wronged souls are constantly coming from it.

Listen carefully, among those wronged souls are his mother, grandfather, grandmother, and even the cry of a baby...

Heads and blood gushed from the mouth of the well like spring water, and the **** fire accompanied by the sea of ​​blood flowing everywhere slowly surrounded Feng Ming.

In the dream, he will be burned by the flames, and once again experience the pain of starvation and piercing. All the suffering he has suffered will be repeated.

This dream has never been interrupted, as long as Feng Ming falls asleep, it will come as promised.

It was like a hell, trapping Feng Ming in the world.

But tonight, Feng Ming did not feel depressed, nor did he sit in front of his desk overnight approving memorials, nor did he go to the martial arts field to vent his energy. He was holding two slips of paper tossing and turning, then tried to ignite the candle, and then steamed it on the boiling water.

The words on the note are still those, not one more or one less after the smoky fire.

Feng Meditation failed to find the mechanism, so she had to study the words on the note carefully. His whole mind was devoted to deciphering the meaning of the words, and the result of his intense concentration was that he hypnotized himself. His eyelids slowly drooped down, and he fell asleep.

Today's dream is extraordinarily different: there is no small courtyard like a coffin box, there is no deep well connecting to hell, and there is no cries and screams of unjust souls. There are only beautiful handwritings that are connected into verses sliding across the white sky.

Feng Ming ran after these words all night, and was half tired in the dream. When he woke up, the sky was still dark, but when he looked at the clock, it was already the next day, and it was about to go to court.

Feng Ming hurriedly sat up, but he didn't feel the usual dizziness or fatigue at all. He subconsciously placed the two pieces of paper beside the pillow and pressed them with a jade pendant, which was not damaged.

Feng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly rolled the note into a small roll and stuffed it into his purse.

Stepping out of the bedroom, he saw the sky glowing with white light. For the first time, he felt that the morning light in this palace was very beautiful.

---

Yu Yuxian's mood was not at all beautiful.

She was drunk last night and woke up lying in her boudoir, her head was about to explode with pain.

Her mother, Li Shi, ran over before dawn and pointed at the tip of her nose, scolding: "Do you know how dangerous it was last night! If I hadn't sent people all over the city to look for you, you would have almost slept in a brothel with a few men. !"

Yu Yuxian finally recovered his memory and defended: "Mother, those are my friends. They sympathized with my experience and said they wanted to invite me to drink to relieve my boredom."

"Can you go to the brothel after drinking to relieve your boredom? Could it be that you have forgotten your identity? If you are drunk, you will be seen by others—"

Having said that, Li Shi stopped the follow-up words in time.

Yu Yuxian also gradually realized how dangerous he was last night. The whole building is full of girls who make a living. If someone finds out that she is a woman after being drunk, she may be arrested on the spot...

The more Yu Yuxian thought about it, the more frightened it became, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing her completely bloodless face, Mrs. Li softened her heart and comforted: "It's alright, when the servants found you, you just lay on the table and slept and didn't do anything. Don't drink anymore, and don't do anything. Go to that smoky place again."

Yu Yuxian shook his head, and said in despair: "Mother, I was fired. Besides writing good poems and essays, what else is there to be admired? To find a way out by making connections, and making connections is bound to go to various parties. Mother, how can a literati party not drink and go to a brothel?"

Li also knew the ethos of the literati circle, so he was helpless.

"Well done, why did you suddenly get fired? Have you been wronged?" she asked hopefully.

Yu Yuxian opened his mouth, but there was no way to defend himself. The emperor really did not wrong her, and the articles of crime written in the imperial decree are well documented.

Blame it on her being emotional and hot-headed, as soon as Feng Yu asked, she agreed to everything. Spying on the emperor's track is a serious crime, not to mention dismissal, the emperor beheading her is also possible.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Li knew that the emperor had not wronged her, which also meant that it would be difficult for her daughter to return to the imperial court.

"You can't be an official, and you can't join the circle of literati. What will you do in the future? Don't forget, you are the pillar of the family now, and you promised your father to honor the ancestors." Li took out a handkerchief and wiped away tears. Flooded with endless regrets.

If the Yu family was defeated by her daughter, she would not dare to go to the underworld to meet the ancestors of the old Yu family.

Yu Yuxian also thought of his father's exhortation before he died, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't let the Yu family collapse. In this way, I will take care of the family property first, and then slowly find a way out. Fortunately, you raised me as a man, and now I'm out in the open doing business. It is also convenient. With money, it will be easier to clear the relationship and return to the court in the future.”

In addition to taking care of the family business to make a living, Yu Yuxian has no other choice for the time being.
