After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

Chapter 227 Extra 2: Wen Hemian touched the child's hand

The summer heat has dissipated, a cool breeze has blown, a drizzle of autumn rain has fallen, the sky is high and the air is refreshing. However, neither the capital nor the border areas are at peace.

Three months ago, Prince Huailing led his troops to support the border. Although the emperor knew that the supplies were insufficient, he still made excuses and refused to allocate food and fodder.

Princess Qin Yi worked hard day and night and finally managed to gather some backup supplies, but she also hurt her body and gave birth to the baby prematurely.

This child happened to be born when her parents were most worried. She had a small face and almost didn't survive after several setbacks, but she finally made it and lived to be one year old.

"Hemian, Wen Hemian."

Qin Yi lowered her head and whispered against the child's face, hoping that she would live a long and healthy life and grow up happily.

Emperor Shun had ignored state affairs for many years, and the barbarians had been eyeing the country covetously for a long time. Without the support of the court, it took Wen Chengyuan many years just to pacify the border.

Seven years later, when he returned to the capital, the little girl in her cradle had grown into a well-behaved and obedient little girl. She was pretty and cute. She stood under the corridor, holding a small hand warmer and looking at him curiously.

Busy with pacifying the border, Wen Chengyuan had to leave his family behind in the capital, where wolves, tigers and leopards were rampant. After several years of separation, he had no chance to see his wife and daughter. When he saw them at this moment, his nose felt sore and he almost cried.

"He Mian, do you want to go to the palace with your father?"

Wen Chengyuan didn't know how to get along with his daughter. When he spoke, he felt hasty and blamed himself for not saying something intimate first.

"Okay."

However, Wen Hemian did not care so much. Although she had only seen her father a few times, her mother said that her father was a great hero who defended the border and she should be proud of her father.

Seeing that Wen Chengyuan seemed a little dazed, she took the initiative to step forward, held his hand, and called him "Father".

Wen Chengyuan sighed several times, looking silly, and Qin Yi, who was standing behind him, shook his head.

This was a celebration banquet specially prepared for Wen Chengyuan, and the three of them were specifically asked to attend. The royal family's face could not be lost.

The eunuch party was prevalent in the palace, and the court was in chaos because of them, but they only dared to be arrogant in front of civil officials. When facing a killing god like Wen Chengyuan who came down from the battlefield, they had to give some face to each other.

But even so, it does not mean that the palace is a safe place for them. Even Wen Hemian has a hidden arrow in her sleeve, which can allow her to protect herself when necessary.

In short, there are many tricks involved.

The Wen family is mysterious and low-key. Although they have a close relationship with the founding ancestors, they never take credit for themselves and rarely get involved in court affairs. They can be said to be a model of self-preservation. If it weren't for the barbarians' massive attack on the border, they probably wouldn't have rashly gotten involved.

Wen Hemian didn't like this palace banquet. She didn't like the emperor's smiling face when he looked at her parents, nor did she like the dirty looks of those ministers who were looking at her as if they were waiting to sell her at a high price.

She had been weak since childhood and had little contact with people in Beijing. Her mother thought she didn't understand, but in fact she understood everything, but just didn't want to say it out loud and make them worry.

Little Wen Hemian thought so.

At the banquet, people started to drink and chatter, and Qin Yi found an excuse to take her out for fear of suffocating her.

It was early spring in April, and the night wind was chilly. Qin Yi gathered her cloak tightly and sighed, "I don't know when we can get out of this vortex."

The little girl curved her eyebrows and shook her hand: "Mom, don't be unhappy."

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head. He was about to pull her out when he suddenly saw the eunuchs in front of the hall stopping a person. The figure looked like a woman. She was being dragged backwards with her mouth covered. She looked very miserable.

But there were more than one miserable people in the palace. Qin Yi, based on the principle of not wanting to meddle in other people's affairs, pulled her daughter and thought about it, but Wen Hemian did not move.

The little girl lowered her voice and said, "Mom, shall we go over and take a look?"

Although his daughter looked soft and tender, Qin Yi had observed that she was not someone who would easily give in to his weakness. He suddenly had a plan in mind, so he led her over and asked with a frown, "What are you doing?"

Those eunuchs naturally recognized Qin Yi. They were not of high rank, so they smiled flatteringly when they saw a noble: "Princess, it's just a concubine from the cold palace who ran away. The servants were worried that she would pollute the eyes of the nobles, so they were about to send her back."

As he said this, he glanced and signaled his men to move faster.

The woman looked disheveled and was wearing coarse clothes, but she looked pretty if you looked closely. Her mouth was covered so that she could not speak. When she heard these words, the tears in her eyes fell and she cried and sobbed, full of sorrow.

If she is a concubine in the cold palace, then it will be difficult to deal with.

Qin Yi lowered her eyes, looked at her daughter silently, and sighed: "Forget it, it just so happens that this princess has nothing to do, so I will send her back for you."

The eunuchs wanted to say something, but when they looked up, they saw the guard following the princess quietly draw his knife. They immediately felt a chill and ran away, trembling and kowtowing.

The woman also thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess..."

"Don't thank me." Qin Yi's face was calm. She was not a kind person. "If you want to thank someone, thank my daughter. Tell me, why did you go there?"

This was not a good place to talk, so the group moved to another place. During the conversation, they learned that the woman's name was Jiang Wu. She and her child had been banished to the cold palace not long ago. She had no choice but to come out this time.

Jiang Wu covered his face bitterly: "My poor child, because of me, no doctor is willing to come to see him when he is sick. If there is no other way..."

In the harem, there are conflicts of interest and people are cold-hearted. It's hard enough to have a good life even if you have your own family, let alone an orphan like Jiang Wu who came from the common people. After struggling hard, she still couldn't escape this disaster.

Wen Hemian said, "Mother, why don't you go and take a look?"

Qin Yi didn't want to get involved in this kind of palace struggle, but she had already taken action, so it didn't matter whether she continued to intervene or not. Thinking about the time when she was worried about her daughter, she finally said slowly: "We will go with you."

Jiang Wu tried hard to hold back her tears, but still couldn't help crying. Wen Hemian took the handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to her: "Wipe your tears."

Jiang Wu whispered: "Thank you, Princess."

The cold palace is just a nickname, it means moving the concubine to a more remote palace. What Jiang Wu said was not a lie. When they went there, the child's forehead was burning with fever. He was a small ball, curled up in the quilt, and was terribly thin.

Among the bodyguards there was a medical practitioner who gave Jiang Wu some pills he carried with him and asked her to dissolve them in hot water and then feed them to the child.

Wen Hemian touched the child's hand, and suddenly a wonderful feeling arose in his heart. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time until Qin Yi took him away.

Qin Yi asked her, "What is Ah Mian thinking about?"

"I was thinking, he's so pitiful." Wen Hemian's voice was low, "That lady is also so pitiful."

"They are not the only pitiful people in the palace." Qin Yi sighed leisurely, "We can help them once, but we may not be able to help them a second time. How they will go on in the future depends on themselves."

"He Mian, it's a good thing that you have good intentions, but if you don't have the ability, don't let this kindness become the source of harm to you. It's a good thing to always be on guard."

Wen Hemian nodded thoughtfully, his little face full of seriousness.
