Chapter 485: The Past
When Gu Yuqing and Xiao Ke's emotions recovered a little, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and said curiously, "When did you enter the palace?"
Sitting side by side with Gu Yuqing, Xiao Ke's little face at this moment was already the same as that of a normal ten-year-old child, and there was no longer that young man who was serious, and there was no indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.
Tears streaked across his cheeks, candlelight shone on it, and his handsome facial features even brought out a bit of childishness.
Got Xiao Yu's question, turned his head to look at Gu Yuqing, Xiao Ke said: "I heard my uncle say that he sent me to the palace when I was five months old." ”
Five months ......
The corners of Gu Yuqing's mouth trembled suddenly...... The five-month-old child was suddenly replaced by someone, and Concubine Xian didn't even notice it...... I really don't know whether to say that she has a big heart or what to say.
After sighing, Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Ke again, but her eyes were full of distress.
Ignored and indifferent by his adoptive mother, from a five-month-old baby who didn't know anything to a ten-year-old boy now, in the past ten years, how hard Xiao Ke's dark life has been, Gu Yuqing didn't dare to think about it.
As long as she thought about it a little, she felt a pain in her lungs, as if someone had pricked her with a sharp needle.
Xiao Yu is obviously much calmer than Gu Yuqing, and what he thinks about has also jumped out of the circle of family affection and is facing more.
Of two people, one must be sober.
"What about the kid before, do you know that you were sent in and took his place, where did he go?" Xiao Yu asked.
Xiao Yu asked, Xiao Ke thought that he was asking the previous child as a younger brother, and immediately said: "The child before me, he was not born to Tang Xiaozhu, I heard my uncle say that Tang Xiaozhu gave birth to a princess." ”
After a slight pause, Xiao Ke said again: "As for the boy before me, where my uncle held him, I don't know, after all, when I went in, it was only five months. As he spoke, a sly wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere in the room, in his witty smile with a hint of ridicule, gradually soothed, and the air was fresh again.
"Why did my father send you to the palace, but he didn't raise you in our mansion?" There were so many doubts in his heart that Gu Yuqing couldn't tell the priorities at all, so he picked out one of the questions and asked.
At the mention of this, Xiao Ke's face with a relaxed smile just now suddenly appeared painfully solemn, the memories were too heavy to be borne by his immature shoulders.
"I heard my uncle say that the family of Qibei Gusu was tragically wiped out, and I was the only one who was rescued by a monk who rushed there, because I didn't know what the reason behind the destruction was, my uncle didn't dare to reveal the news that I was still alive. ”
"I don't know how my uncle learned that King Duan did the matter of stealing beams and changing pillars, in short, the child raised by Concubine Zuo is no longer His Majesty's own child, and in line with the idea that the most dangerous place is the safest place, my uncle secretly changed me into it again. ”
"Since then, my uncle has been under the guise of looking for pills and medicines, never leaving the palace day and night, secretly lurking around me, while secretly investigating the affairs of the year, while carefully protecting me to grow up safely, until I was three years old and knew about people, he did not appear. ”
"At that time, my uncle told me the whole thing, and I didn't understand it very well, because Concubine Xian has always been cold to me, and I had a bad life in the palace, and I suddenly heard his words, and I was ignorant, but I also knew a truth, it turned out that I was not the emperor's child. ”
Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning, "You grew up in the palace, and you haven't seen Gu Houye much before, why did you believe it as soon as he said your life experience?"
Xiao Ke shook his head, "Because Concubine Xian is indifferent to me, the nurse who takes care of me doesn't care about me, and I don't remember the things that I don't remember, I don't have any impression, but I still remember some things when I was about three years old." ”
"Once I had a cold, burned a mess, couldn't find the nurse, so I cried and ran to the concubine, and told her that I was uncomfortable to die, and asked her to ask a royal doctor to show me, until now, I still remember, because of the weakness of the body burn, I almost climbed all the way into the concubine's bedroom, at that time she was talking to Princess Duan, suddenly saw me go in, before I begged to finish speaking, split my head and cover my face, and then let the maid throw me out. ”
"At that time, I only knew that Concubine Xian was not my biological mother, my biological mother was a low-status Tang Xiaozhu, a three-year-old child, who already knew a lot about life and death, and was already uncomfortable and dizzy, and after being beaten, she was even more top-heavy, got up from the ground, stumbled, and somehow, she went around to the back door of Concubine Xian's bedroom. ”
"I thought it was my own room, I pushed the door and went in, and it happened that there was no maid guarding there, so I walked in, and I didn't walk more than two or three steps, but I heard the voices of Concubine Xian and Princess Duan, even if I was sick and confused, I also knew that I had gone to the wrong place, because I had just been beaten, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly turned around. ”
"It's just that the body hasn't moved away, and I can hear the people inside say: This child is not born to His Majesty, in the end it is different, even if he was raised to my palace, His Majesty and him, but they are not close at all, you look at the four princes in the palace of Hui Guifei, which time His Majesty saw not his eyebrows and smiles, this evil obstacle is good, since he lived in my palace, the emperor almost did not even step at the palace gate. ”
"The person who spoke was Concubine Xian, and the obstacle in her mouth was naturally me. The fever was dizzy, and she was originally chilled, but she gritted her teeth and complained, but she was shocked into a cold sweat. ”
Later, I listened to them talk for a while, and when I heard them change the subject, they stopped talking about me, so I went out with my feet deep and shallow on the wall, and I don't know how I got back to my room, lying on the bed, pulling the quilt on my head, panicking, and fever, and the whole person was stunned, crying and crying, and I was unconscious. ”
"When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself in my arms by a man who was feeding me medicine spoonful by spoonful, and it was the first time I saw my uncle. ”
"Since then, he often comes out at night and always brings me some delicious meat!" is obviously a sad memory, but at the mention of this sentence, Xiao Ke's eyes still can't help but show a trace of shame, "As a prince, I always can't eat enough, the first time he asked me what I wanted to eat, I said I wanted to eat roast chicken, and since then, every time he comes, I can eat roast chicken." ”
Listening to Xiao Ke's memories, Gu Yuqing's crying eyes were red and swollen, and her heart was like ten thousand arrows piercing, and she was out of breath in pain.
"So, later, on my third birthday, when my uncle told me about his life experience, I didn't doubt it at all, and I took it all! At that time, he was the best person in the palace to me, and every night, he taught me to read and write, and gave me some real or mythical stories, and brought me roast chicken. ”
