The Yandere Came During the Night

The prince refused to stay in the carriage alone to enjoy the happiness, but squeezed into a tent with Yu Pinyan, took out the dry food wrapped in oil paper, and ate slowly.

"When Fang Wei comes back, let's continue our journey. If we let them lie down in the rain for a night, I don't know how many people will complain about being alone." The prince narrowed his eyes and joked.

Yu Pinyan nodded and said, "Be careful sailing the ten-thousand-year-old boat, guarding eight million taels of silver, you have to keep one eye open at night, not to mention rushing. This is the first time you have done such an important errand, and you can't be negligent at all. ."

"At the end of the month, the second, third, and fourth will also join the court and participate in politics. If Gu Gu made a mistake this time, I don't know how many people will be waiting for Gu's braid. Don't worry, you can save it." The prince patted Yu Pinyan's shoulder. , the two smiled at each other.

He was talking while nibbling on the rations, and before he knew it, more than half an hour passed, only to hear a swift sound of horse hooves approaching, before the prince could lift the curtain, he heard Fang Wei shouting loudly, "Prince, it's not good, there is a landslide ahead. It's gone!"

The prince was startled, and hurriedly got out and asked in detail.

The dry food in Yu Wentao's hand fell into the muddy water with a bang.

The rest of the people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were dripping with cold sweat. Only Yu Pinyan had such a sense of relief.

"The landslide? What's the situation?" Prince? In the heavy rain, we walked forward quickly.

"My subordinate had just walked for a quarter of an hour when I heard a loud rumbling sound on the mountain. Rain and mud and stones rushed down from the mountain? It washed away the road and went straight into the river. Fortunately, my subordinate was on guard. Back quickly, or you won't be able to come back." Fang Wei patted his chest with lingering fears.

As he spoke, there was another loud noise in front of him. Just now people thought it was a thunderstorm, but only now did they realize that it was a landslide. If the prince didn't stop, but rushed all the way, ten percent would hit a landslide, and he would end up with no bones left. And lost 8 million taels of disaster relief silver, implicated tens of thousands of people in the disaster-stricken areas, and even if they died, they would not gain any good reputation.

The more Yu Wentao thought about it, the more flustered he felt, and he cupped his hands again and again, his words trembling, "The prince is indeed the blood of a real dragon, and God blesses him! The prince is wise, the prince is wise!"

Only then did everyone return to their senses, and they also shouted, their eyes full of awe.

The prince was also extremely frightened in his heart, but his face did not show at all, and he said calmly, "It's not safe here, pull out the camp and retreat to the open fields, and then take a detour to Sanmenxia when the rain stops. Hurry up."

No one dared to object this time.

Finally, the old fox Yu Wentao was restrained. The prince was relieved, unable to contain his excitement and fear, he patted Yu Pinyan on the shoulder vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Pinyan, thanks to you stopping in time, otherwise there will be no bones left. !" If there are no bones left, that's all, lost the disaster relief silver, and I don't know how many people want to arrange his posthumous reputation. Thinking about that scene makes me chill.

"Prince is serious. You know it yourself, otherwise it's useless for me to persuade me." Yu Pinyan did not take credit, and did not mention the dream that his sister once had. The royal people are suspicious by nature, and thinking too far will be a disaster rather than a blessing for Xiang Er.

"Gu's heart really knows something. Pinyan, thank you very much!" The prince pressed his shoulder hard, and his gratitude was self-evident.

The two shook hands tightly, then each stepped on their horses and ran back. The trip was delayed for at least two days because of the long detour, so the prince sent a letter to the emperor explaining the reason.

The next morning, the Marquis of Yongle also received a letter from Yu Pinyan. The old lady looked pale and shouted, "Blessed by the Bodhisattva".

"Old Madam, what's the matter with you? But the little Marquis..." Ma Ma did not dare to say the rest.

"Yan'er is fine," the old lady stood up tremblingly, bowed three times to the Buddha statue in the hall, and then handed the letter to Ma Ma, and let her read it herself, with a lingering fear, "It's really thrilling! I just read it. When I wrote the letter, I broke out in a cold sweat!"

Mammy read it quickly, her heart trembled suddenly, and whispered in the old lady's ear, "Old lady, do you remember what the second lady called when the little prince was leaving? Cuixi said that the second lady dreamed of the little prince. It was washed away by the mud and stone, so yesterday, the little Marquis was not allowed to go out, you see, doesn't it fit with this letter!"

‘Brother, if it rains heavily, stop immediately and don’t rush! Remember, don't hurry! ’. The old lady repeated this sentence in her mind, her eyes widening.

"Hey," she took a deep breath, raised her legs and walked away, "Go to Xiang'er and ask what dream she had last night!"

Yu Xiang didn't sleep all night, she was afraid that she would close her eyes and dream of Yu Pinyan's death. She repeatedly thought about how she would live if Yu Pinyan was gone, and how she would feel chilled. From Yonglehou Mansion? Liang Zhu was "killed" by her, and the Lin family and the old lady would definitely not tolerate her. In this era, the woman who was rejected by the family has no way to survive, not to mention that she is still a paralyzed person, I am afraid that she will starve to death on the street within two days after leaving the Hou residence.

When the old lady arrived, she saw her half-reclining on the couch, her face was sallow, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were full of red blood, and her eye sockets were deeply sunken. Hearing the footsteps, she twisted her neck stiffly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is your brother? Did you receive any news?"

Although not from the blood of the Houfu, he grew up together with Yan'er, and his feelings for him were sincere and not adulterated at all. Would you like to give your life to the rescue? Can you be worried about that?

Thinking of this, the old lady's prejudice and estrangement towards Yu Xiang instantly disappeared.

"Yan'er is fine." She said softly, "Yesterday you had a nightmare, so you don't let Yan'er go out. If you see something in your dream, tell your grandmother."

Yu Xiang's high-hanging heart suddenly fell into place, and when she saw the old lady's questioning, she narrated it in detail. Yu Pinyan is sixteen years old this year, and he has just started his official career. He acts ruthlessly and has made many enemies. The person who is loyal to him is the prince of the dynasty, and he may encounter many disasters in the future. If the Yu family didn't pay attention to her words, and treated her as a nuisance, Yu Pinyan would not have such good luck next time.

The old lady thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Did you really see a lot of silver ingots falling into the river?"

Yu Xiang nodded firmly.

The old lady continued to be stunned, and it took a quarter of an hour before she came over, touched the corners of Yu Xiang's red eyes, and said softly, "Good boy, because I was worried about your brother, I didn't sleep a night, did you drink the medicine? Have you ever eaten? used?"

Yu Xiang shook her head, "I don't know if my brother is safe, I don't want to drink medicine, and I can't eat."

"Good boy, good boy..." The old lady's expression was very moved, and she kept stroking Yu Xiangfa? , "Drink the medicine, eat, and sleep quickly. I'm tired of you."

Ma Ma went to the kitchen herself to cook medicine for the second lady.

The old lady accompanies Yu Xiang to finish the meal, and sees her yawning frequently before she gets up and leaves, and when she reaches the door, she turns around and instructs earnestly, "Xianer, if you have a similar dream in the future, you must tell your grandmother, don't be bored in your heart."

Yu Xiang nodded in agreement. Naturally, she wouldn't be bored in her heart, Yu Pinyan was her only amulet.

Only then did the old lady leave contentedly. She caught a glimpse of Cui Ping and Cui Xi who were following behind her, and said cautiously, "I will take care of the young lady in the future. If you need anything, just come to Ma Ma and ask for it. If the young lady refuses to take medicine and eat, you have to Persuade, if you leave it alone like today, you don't need to stay in the Hou's mansion."

Cuiping and Cuixi agreed in a low voice, waiting for the group to walk away to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, and looked at each other in dismay. What's the matter, old lady? How did your attitude change overnight?

The old lady returned to the main courtyard, knelt under the Buddhist altar and recited the scriptures for a while, and then she loosened her tense heartstrings.

Ma Ma helped her to get up, brought a cup of hot tea, and when she sat down, she leaned over and asked, "Old lady, what's the matter with this dream, miss?"

"This is the Bodhisattva's warning to Xiang'er." The old lady used the lid of the cup to slowly scrape the tea foam, her expression dazed, "If Ruoyan'er and the others did not stop, they rushed over, and the scene in the dream will become a reality. .Those silver ingots are the disaster relief silver carried by the prince, at least that's the number..." She stretched out a slap.

"Fifty thousand taels?" Ma Ma frowned.

"Five million taels, maybe more." Speaking of which, the old lady broke out in a cold sweat and sighed, "Fortunately, Xiang'er mentioned a word, and Yan'er didn't rush over, otherwise not only would her life be lost, but the whole The Hou Mansion will also follow suit. Five million taels, even if the family is stolen, they can't afford it!"

Yu Xiang, a little girl who is ignorant of world affairs, how does she know what is wrong with Yan'er going out, and how does she know that the crown prince brings disaster relief money? But she had a dream, and the description was so detailed, as if she was there. At this moment, the old lady no longer had any doubts about her words.

Ma Ma sucked in a breath of cold air and shouted in horror, "Five, five million taels? My mother! Many thanks to the Bodhisattva for your blessing, many thanks to the Bodhisattva for your blessing!" Live! This time is really a fluke, a fluke!

Ma Ma bowed to the Buddhist altar and whispered, "Master Hou is right, Miss is not a mourning star, she is clearly his lucky star. Old lady, take a look, in just one month, Miss will help Lord Hou. Avoided two death calamities. This is too mysterious, if it is not for people with profound blessings, how can the Bodhisattva be warned by dreams..."

The old lady was silent for a while, and finally waved her hand, "Send the two mackerel yarns and the century-old ginseng in my warehouse to Xiang'er. She is good." It's weird, it's a blessing or a curse, let's take a look.

"Hey, old slave, let's go!" Ma Ma did not pretend to be someone else, and went to do it herself. These two things were gifts from the royal family, and they were invaluable. The old lady was reluctant to use them herself, but gave them all to the young lady, which shows that she was really frightened this time.

Cuipingcui was delighted to see that the old lady suddenly paid attention to Yu Xiang. Although she was not angry, she did not dare to be as arrogant as before.

The original historical trajectory: the prince went to Sanmenxia for disaster relief, and encountered a landslide halfway. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he lost 8 million taels of disaster relief silver and returned in a panic. The officials impeached the prince for being unkind, and angered the heavens to impose divine punishment, affecting tens of thousands of people in the disaster-stricken areas. The emperor was furious and ordered the prince to go to the imperial tomb to repent. He was not allowed to enter the court for three years. He also ordered the fourth prince to raise money and go to Sanmenxia again. The fourth prince acted calmly, with outstanding ability, and handled the disaster relief matters perfectly without any mistakes. At the end of September, he returned to Beijing with the umbrella of Wanmin, his reputation was greatly boosted, and the crown prince gradually fell silent.

The Marquis of Yongle suffered a landslide and returned with serious injuries. The emperor expressed his anger, and although he did not demote him, he dismissed all his real positions and abandoned them. The old lady of the Hou Mansion sold all the property to pay off the crime, and after all, it was impossible to restore the reputation of the Hou Mansion. The Marquis of Yongle had to join the army and use his life to find a way out.
