AWB Chapter 135 Dream Return
Chapter 135 Dream Return
The team heading to provide support from the city ran into Yun Yuke on their way.
Of course, Yun Yuke had sensed that someone was coming early on, so she first cleaned up the blood on her face.
There's no need to act crazy in front of your own people; a face covered in blood would definitely scare most people.
"Sister Yun, you..." Xing Xiaoyu and the coachman were shocked to see Yun Yuke riding a horse and leading another horse, looking smug and leisurely.
"Where is the assassin?" The coachman was incredulous, having expected a fierce battle.
“I fought them for a while, and then they withdrew on their own,” Yun Yuke tugged at another horse. “These two were injured while fighting with their swords. I don’t have any ropes, so I had to knock them out first. Do you have any ropes? We can tie them up.”
The support team brought weapons, but no one brought rope.
However, the two men on horseback did not wake up until they returned to the city, and they still did not wake up when they were sent back to Changgan City for imprisonment.
To outsiders, they might have thought the two were dead, when in fact they were still unconscious.
Yun Yuke left the interrogation to the professionals and stopped interrogating them.
The main reason was that, upon arriving at the city gate, Yun Qingjin saw Yun Yuke return safely. It seemed that her mental state fluctuated too much, and the little girl suddenly fainted after seeing Yun Yuke.
Yun Yuke quickly picked up her daughter and found a place to settle her down near the city gate.
"The sudden fainting was caused by a sudden surge of anger, but the pulse is now stable. There's no need to worry too much; the child is not in immediate danger and will gradually recover with proper care," the doctor who came to fetch them said.
After seeing the doctor off, Yun Yuke returned, and Yun Qingjin felt uneasy in her dreams.
Yun Yuke stepped forward and held Yun Qingjin's hand tightly, which calmed the child down a bit.
After Yun Qingjin fainted, she had a dream.
There are many different scenes in my dream.
The first scene was the Changxing Marquis's Mansion from his previous life, when he had just arrived. The steward of the mansion was telling him about his parents' great achievements.
The most important sentence is that in the battle to recapture Wuluo, his father and Gu Tinghui made strategic plans and quick arrangements on the battlefield. After capturing Wuluo, they also pacified the people of Wuluo and achieved a peaceful transition.
There was no shortage of food.
The second scene is the residence of the Marquis of Ankang.
Marquis Ankang was in his mansion, holding several women in his arms, with plenty of delicious food in front of him, and the mansion was filled with singing and dancing.
He seemed to be just an ordinary marquis. Behind his mansion was originally a mountain villa, which in his dream was a forest, not the luxurious villa it was now.
He had no advisors around him, only a steward and various beauties, both men and women.
The third scene is of Yun Yuke.
However, Yun Yuke is not in Changgan City; she is still in Xin'an City, and the businesses she runs are still the same few things, with no difference.
Yun Yuke looked the same as always, without much change. The people around her, such as Sister Yuan Chen, Aunt Hua, and Liu Zhou'er, seemed to be young.
It must have been a few years ago, or perhaps it was when I first arrived in Xin'an City.
This dream experience was quite pleasant, but I can be certain that it was from a past life.
After listening to the conversation between my mother and the others in my dream for a while, it seemed to be about the last time my mother suppressed bandits, which was when I first met her.
In the dream, my mother said that she went to wipe out the Wind Wolf Village, was attacked, and was unconscious in the mountains for three days before she finally woke up.
During the three days that Yun Yuke was out of contact, Magistrate Sun of Xin'an City tried to find her but couldn't.
This is different from now. In this life, Yun Yuke should have encountered Yun Qingjin right after being attacked. Yun Yuke said that she was indeed close to fainting at the time, and if she hadn't received treatment, she might have been unconscious for several days.
Three days later, after returning to her residence, Yun Yuke was in a state of serious injury and closed herself off to visitors, recuperating for about half a month.
During this time, Magistrate Sun did not continue searching for the missing person, nor did he realize that one person was missing.
After the entire investigation of the bandit suppression at Fenglang Village was completed, Magistrate Sun sent all the evidence found in Fenglang Village to the capital.
The fourth act involves an imperial edict from the capital ordering the detention of Magistrate Sun of Xin'an City. Shortly afterward, Magistrate Sun is assassinated during his detention.
The assassin reported the completion of the assassination to his superiors, who then reported the news to the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager looked exactly the same as I had seen her before.
After quietly hearing the news that Magistrate Sun was dead, she nodded. Before her lay the exquisite headdresses that Magistrate Sun had found at Wind Wolf Stronghold.
Yun Qingjin recognized that this set of jewelry was currently kept in the Yun residence in Xin'an City. When Yun Yuke brought this set of jewelry back, she said that it was an important item and must be preserved well.
When no one was around, the Empress Dowager sighed as she looked at the jewelry in front of her.
"Yanlan, why did I see your things again? Speaking of which... why didn't you just die a clean death? You stole my Gongsun Ning, haha, so what if you made great achievements with him? So what if you built your career with him? So what if you hid? My son is the emperor, my son..."
The Empress Dowager seemed to recall a painful memory and began to cry.
"Gongsun Ning, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop my son... I only wanted Yang Yanlan to die, I didn't mean to kill you!"
After crying for a while, the Empress Dowager saw the set of jewelry in front of her and suddenly threw the crown to the ground, causing the pearls, gems, and gold wire accessories to fall off.
A palace maid entered the palace, but the Empress Dowager chased her away and refused to let her in.
"Tang Hongze, my good son, you were able to secure your throne thanks to the help of Duke Wu Jing! I told you not to exterminate Duke Wu Jing, Gongsun Ning, just spare his life! Just order Yang Yanlan to commit suicide! Why did you have to kill Gongsun Ning as well!"
"Yang Yanlan is dead, and that's that. Duke Wujing has already left the capital..."
"Hehehe..."
Another person arrived outside the Empress Dowager's palace.
Judging from her attire, she should be the Empress Dowager's personal stewardess.
The person came in and quickly tidied up the jewelry that had fallen to the ground.
Then he helped the Empress Dowager up.
“Your Majesty, this set of jewelry is made entirely of pearls from the East China Sea. It was a betrothal gift specially bestowed upon the wife of the Duke of Wujing by the late Emperor. Why don’t we take these pearls off and have our craftsmen turn them into a string of pearls for you? Look, these pearls are scattered all over the ground now, and they’re not easy to find.”
"Qin'er, you..."
"Your Majesty, you are now the Empress Dowager. You can vent your anger in your own palace, but you need to remain calm when you go out."
"Qin'er..."
"Your Majesty, at this stage, don't think about anything else. His Majesty didn't intentionally kill Duke Wu Jing. The ministers in the court support Duke Wu Jing more. Besides, Duke Wu Jing was killed because he colluded with foreign enemies. Have you forgotten that?"
When Empress Dowager Deng heard the palace maid beside her say this, she chuckled coldly.
"Colluding with foreign enemies? Yes, that's the crime I charged Gongsun Ning'an with."
