Chapter 1198: The Past
Clenched his fists, King Nan'an said, "You are so confident that you will definitely win?"
Xiao Yu smiled slightly and shook his head, "Of course I'm not confident, my imperial grandmother is in the hands of the imperial uncle, how dare I be confident, it's just that you seem to be too unconfident, uncle." ”
With a slight sigh, Xiao Yu said: "Also, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were defeated by me, and this trauma in the emperor's heart will not be healed for a while, and it is normal to have low self-esteem." ”
The king of Nan'an only felt that his blood was attacking his heart.
After walking for a stick of incense, he arrived at the dormitory where the former queen lived.
Originally, it was the most prosperous and rich place in the palace, because of the queen's accident, the emperor has been letting people lock the door but did not send anyone to clean it, and it really seems quite desolate and lonely.
Under the scorching winter sun, on the vermilion lacquer gate, the bright copper nails make people feel a little chilled.
King Nan'an's mind moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to push the door.
With a heavy squeak, the door was opened for a moment, and the image of desolation inside jumped into view.
Since the queen's accident, this is the first time Xiao Yu has come to this place, and he can't help but sigh when he looks at it, "Uncle Huang is really good at finding a place, who would have thought that it would be here!"
Nan'an Wang had no intention of joking with Xiao Yu.
has failed so many games, he can't afford to lose, and if he loses again, he will lose his life.
As soon as he stepped on the threshold, he immediately high-fived him three times.
Immediately, a secret guard hidden in the rockery on one side came out, dressed in a black tights, and stood with his fists clenched, "Lord Wang!"
Seeing his own people, King Nan'an's heart was like a rock falling to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat in the cold of spring.
"Has anyone ever been here?"
The dark guard shook his head, "Not yet!"
King Nan'an was completely relieved, turned around and smiled darkly at Xiao Yu, and took the lead in lifting his feet in the direction of the dormitory.
Pushing the door in, Xiao Yu saw at a glance that the Queen Mother, dressed in plain clothes, was sitting upright, her face was slightly pale, and she was stunned by the exquisite painting fan painted with flying butterflies fluttering flowers in her hands.
The painted fan is like a congratulatory gift from Gu Yuqing on the birthday of the Queen Mother in a certain year.
The fan bone is cold and warm jade, warm in winter and cool in summer, holding it in your hand, comfortable at all times.
Not far from her, there were a total of eight subordinates of the king of Nan'an, with hideous faces, standing on the ground.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate.
At the same time that King Nan'an's subordinates clasped their fists together to call out the "prince", Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and walked towards the queen mother, "Imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "It's here." ”
The voice was inaudible whether it was panic or whatever, and the calm did not fluctuate at all.
Before Xiao Yu could walk to the side of the Queen Mother, King Nan'an raised his hand again and clapped his hands, "Bring people up, so that the family of the Fourth Highness can be reunited." ”
As he spoke, a dead soldier came out of the side hall, and a sharp blade in his hand pressed directly at Gu Yuqing, who was pushed in front of him.
Gu Yuqing's face was not different, and even with a little calmness in his eyes, he walked straight to the main hall.
King Nan'an smiled proudly, and then sighed, "Originally, I wanted you to see your mother before you died, but I didn't think about it, Concubine Hui was so fast, she didn't even want your son, and she secretly hid it herself." ”
As he spoke, his eyes turned on Gu Yuqing and the Queen Mother, "Without Concubine Hui, it is enough to have the two of them! If you don't want the two of them to be dead in front of you, then write a holy decree for the emperor to obediently." ”
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and was about to sneer at each other, when he heard the Queen Mother sigh softly, and looked up at King Nan'an, "It's a waste of the kindness of this palace back then, and I will spare your life!"
King Nan'an laughed loudly, but he gritted his teeth with laughter, his eyes were on fire, "A thought of benevolence? The Queen Mother is also worthy of saying this word of benevolence? If the Queen Mother is merciful, why would my mother and concubine end up like that!"
At the mention of his mother's concubine, King Nan'an was emotional and could not control himself, "If the Queen Mother is merciful, how can there be only so many princes in this palace!"
The Queen Mother was emotionally moved, only sighed, "When your mother died, she volunteered!"
King Nan'an sneered, "Voluntary? People say that people are about to die, and their words are good, why is the queen mother dying to the end, and she still has to say such a thing of hiding from the world and crossing the sea!"
The Queen Mother ignored the King of Nan'an and knew: "Your mother and I are indeed incompatible, and we have been fighting for a lifetime! She poisoned my son in a vain attempt to take away my son's crown prince, of course I can't tolerate her, but no matter how I can't tolerate her, if there is no nod from the first emperor, I will definitely not carry out such a cruel punishment in the palace." ”
"Back then, your grandfather's family had a lot of troops, and they had thoughts that they shouldn't have, threatening your life to ask your mother to poison the first emperor, if they poisoned the first emperor to let you ascend the throne, your mother must have responded without blinking. ”
"But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, but they want their children to ascend the throne, and completely change the dynasty and surname of the world! ”
"In order to save your life, your mother and the emperor negotiated the conditions, and the emperor wanted the emperor to keep you safe for the rest of your life, and in return, she designed to introduce your grandfather and several uncles into the palace, so that the emperor could catch turtles in the urn!"
When it comes to the old past, the Queen Mother's eyes always carry a layer of ethereal flickering.
King Nan'an's heart was turbulent, but he listened to the words of the Queen Mother...... Back then, his grandfather's family was suddenly beheaded by the Mansion, and he was only affected by his mother's concubine.
After all these years, I can't figure it out!
There are not a few concubines who have been killed in the palace, but there are very few who have affected their mother's family like this because of the death of one person.
But I didn't think that this was the reason!
"Your mother sacrificed herself to save your life, the emperor was afraid that you had too deep a grudge in your heart, so he sent you to Liaobei, although Liaobei is located in the cold, it can be vast and open-minded. But I didn't think that such a broad vision in Liaobei didn't open your narrow heart, and you lived most of your life in hatred!"
The king of Nan'an was stunned, and his ears rang when he was crowned the king and went to the domain, his father's earnest teaching, and the father said the most, it seemed that he wanted him to be himself in a down-to-earth manner, and he should not be sorry for his mother's hard work for him, and when he went to the domain for ten years, he would take him back to Beijing.
After that, the father did not send envoys to fulfill his promise and take him back to Beijing.
It's a pity that at that time, resentment gathered in his heart, and he couldn't hear anything at all, and he didn't believe anything.
rejected the order to return to Beijing.
For several years, the only belief that supported him to survive in the cold and bitter land of northern Liaoning was to strengthen his power, return to Kyoto, avenge his mother and grandfather's family, and seek justice for himself!
But I don't think that this is justice!
It was difficult to accept this fact in his heart, and the king of Nan'an tried his best to put it aside without thinking about it, and only said coldly: "What? The queen mother wants to use these vain words to make a living for herself?"
The Queen Mother smiled, "Empty words, I know you won't believe it, come on, look at these." ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother took out a small rosewood box from her side and handed it to King Nan'an, "Open it and take a look, these are what your grandfather wrote to your mother back then, I don't have any other hobbies, just miss the old, these old things, always reluctant to throw away, now they come in handy!"
Speaking of nostalgia, the Queen Mother suddenly thought a little.
Old friend...... You are also my old friend, why don't you leave me with a little miss!
