Chapter 33: The Past
"Good girl, you really want to know, it's nothing to tell you. When Rong Sleeping Crane heard this, he changed into his bedclothes, turned around and walked to the bedside, hugged his wife and kissed him, and said with a smile, "The reason why I didn't tell you about it is because I am afraid that you can't help but feel sorry for me after listening to it...... You see, your sleeping brother is so gentle and considerate, for your sake!"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at him obliquely, and said with a smile: "You have lied to me so many times, which time did you make up a story that is not tear-jerking? I have listened to it so much, I have long been used to it! What else is distressed or not!"
Rong Sleepy Crane touched his chin and looked at her with a wicked smile: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change...... What kind of sex do you have, I don't know yet?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's face full of confidence, he made a few more jokes, and then said, "Actually, I said that I had amnesia before, and I didn't lie completely...... Because of the earlier events, the details are really not clear. Profound, just a few before and after?"
"When I was on Tortoiseshell Island before, my father didn't tell you where I came from, but my father was borrowed to have a child, and after my biological mother and adoptive father had biological flesh and blood, they sent me to a house in another courtyard. ”
"Later, the nursing mother who raised me saw that I had good qualifications, so she told my parents at that time, hoping to get me better treatment?"
"But don't you want my adoptive father to treat me as his own flesh and blood in the first place, and after knowing this, he is afraid that I will take his own son's things when I grow up, so he will poison me?"
Sheng Weiqiao was skeptical: "Don't say that these are true...... This is obviously made up by my father to deceive me!"
"Of course, borrowing seeds to have children is fake, but most of the other experiences are true, well, this statement is actually what I gave my father a counselor. Rong Sleeping Crane said indifferently, "It is said that I landed in the palace, but almost as soon as I landed, I was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to 'recuperate', my earliest memory is that once the princess went to Zhuangzi to see me, and finally left alone." At that time, I didn't really understand the difference between a biological mother and a nursing mother, but I instinctively didn't want to be separated from her. There was a scene where she was walking briskly in front of me, and I was crying and chasing after her, trying to grab the hem of her skirt. ”
"After what seemed to be countless corridors and doorways, I climbed through many thresholds. ”
"I finally caught her when she got in the car, but she broke my hand and pushed me away. ”
"Later, it was my nurse or someone else who carried me back to the yard. ”
When he said this, he was very calm, and Sheng Weiqiao, who was snuggled in his arms, didn't even feel any mood swings from her husband.
But my heart is sour for no reason.
"After about a year or two, I never met anyone from the palace. ”
"My nurse's family was not bad in her early years, but when something happened to her family, she was sold into slavery, so she knew some words. At that time, in addition to taking care of me, she was also responsible for supervising the accounts and other trivial tasks on the Zhuangzi, and then every time she did something, she hugged me by her side. After a few times, I memorized a few words, and once I read them out by chance, and she found it very interesting, so she began to teach me. ”
"After teaching for a while, she felt that my talent was not bad, so she told the palace, but as for the purpose, it was similar to what my father told you at the time, which was to make the palace pay attention to me. ”
Rong Sleepy Crane said lightly, "Who knew that after the news was transmitted back to the palace, what was waiting for was not attention, but a well-planned conspiracy...... I was not abducted by human traffickers, but sold by the people of the palace themselves!"
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes widened: "King Gaomi?!"
Because she was dissatisfied with King Gaomi, she called this father-in-law by the king name in private, and only in front of the palace and acquaintances would she shout "Father".
At this moment, he called "King Gaomi", which shows how tired he is of this father-in-law!
"Not really. Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Good girl, have you forgotten Rong Qingdrunk, who lives in Zhao Mansion, and the county lord of Huihe, who married far away?
“…… But how old were they at that time?" Sheng Weiqiao had not doubted the two brothers and sisters before, after all, they were both children, no matter how partiality the parents were, they would not be so cold to them that they had an attitude like enemies, but thinking about the age of these two people when they were left behind, they always felt that it was unlikely, thinking that there might be other inside information.
At this moment, seeing Rong Sleeping Crane confirm it in person, he couldn't help but be surprised, "They can actually do such a thing?!"
Rong Sleeping Crane said indifferently: "There is naturally a real murderer behind this, but Rong Qingzui is willing to cooperate with the real murderer, as for Huihe, my good sister-in-law, but just for Rong Qingdrunk to allow her a set of toys, she readily agreed to trick me to a remote place......"
When he said this, his eyes were cold, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "At that time, I was too young, and I didn't know why I was placed alone in Zhuangzi, in short, I was still very attached to my parents, especially the princess." They took people to Zhuangzi, saying that they had been ordered by the princess to take me to the Lantern Festival to play, and finally went to see the princess.
Later, when I arrived at the Lantern Festival, I was also taken care of by guards and nurses. ”
As a result, Megumi pulled me and asked me to accompany her to play hide and seek in a crowded place...... At that time I was trying to please them, lest they should not take me to the princess. ”
"So I was taken to the corner unconsciously, and when I saw two people walking over, I didn't think something was right, and I just wanted to take Megumi to find the guards......"
"Megumi pulled me and shouted to them, 'It's him,' and before I could understand it, I was caught. ”
"After that, I was taken all the way out to sea. ”
"Fortunately, I was shipwrecked and everyone else died, but I was rescued by my eldest brother and survived. ”
“…… Who is the real culprit?" Sheng Weiqiao frowned, "Concubine Mo, and the other concubines of King Gaomi?!"
Otherwise, how could Princess Gaomi play that hand of "epidemic epidemic" and send everyone down afterwards?
"In the end, the princess is the main room that Ming Media is marrying, although Concubine Mo was more favored at that time, how could it be possible to play such tricks under her hands?" Rong Sleeping Crane shook his head and said, "It's Concubine Mo!"
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes widened: "Concubine Mo?!Isn't that your own grandmother?!"
Speaking of which, the reason why Huan Yehe was sure that Rong Sleeping Crane had something to do with Gaomi Wangfu was because Rong Sleeping Crane looked like Concubine Mo!
Although not everyone is particularly partial to the younger generation who looks like themselves, as a grandson, there is no reason for his grandmother to resent him to the point of designing to sell him to human traffickers, right?
After a turn of thought, she asked, "Did the princess offend the princess in something at that time, so that the princess was angry with you?"
But think about it, there is another question, "By the way, why did you get sent to live in Zhuangzi when you were a child?" It is rumored here in Chang'an that you were frail and sick when you were a child and needed to recuperate, so you almost never appeared in front of people. But if you're really sickly, how can you survive when you're on Tortoiseshell Island?!"
Hearing this, Rong Sleeping Crane narrowed his eyes before he said, "Good girl, I remember that when my mother first told you about my birthday, you inadvertently said it." Why don't you understand it now?"
"Did I say it?" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, and blurted out, "Your birthday...... On the tenth day of the first month of October, I said that this is similar to the Tianning Festival of an emperor in the previous dynasty, but that is because the emperor was actually born on the fifth day of the fifth month, which is the same as the children who were rumored to be born on this day in ancient times, the male Ke father, and the female Ke mother happened to collide...... Could it be that the concubine is going to do this to you because of this?!"
"Isn't that enough?" Rong Sleepy Crane asked rhetorically, "The concubine is just a son of King Gaomi, and everyone knows that before the first emperor died, he actually wanted King Gaomi to inherit the throne! If King Gaomi is gone, the concubine will have to follow in the footsteps of Concubine Rou! Although I am her own grandson, she already had two grandchildren, two granddaughters, and a bunch of grandchildren...... Why do you have to scare me?"
He said lightly, "And when I just landed, King Gaomi happened to have a small illness, which scared everyone on his side half to death. After hearing the news, the concubine felt more and more that what the ancients said was very reasonable, and she wanted the princess to hand me over to her at that time. ”
"It's just that the princess probably still has a bit of mother-son affection for me, and secondly, she didn't have a good relationship with Concubine Mo at that time, and she was unwilling to give in to the concubine who favored Concubine Mo. In short, the concubine saw that she had not agreed, and endured it for a few years, but then she didn't want to bear it anymore, so she planned the matter through Concubine Mo's remote command...... Of course, that's all I know. ”
"At that time, I was too young after all, and I am not sure if there is anything else I don't know. ”
Rong Sleepy Crane looked at his wife with a gloomy face, smiled and touched her head, "Good girl, how is it? I just said that you will feel distressed, right?"
"Who feels sorry for you?" Sheng Weiqiao's face was not very good-looking, and he stiffened his mouth and said, "I just think that the princess is too uncompetitive! Since she is the main concubine, her mother's family is not nobody, to put it mildly, when the first emperor pointed out the princess to King Gaomi, didn't he just fall in love with the lintel of the Zhao family?!"
"In this case, the princess is not stubborn!"
"In the past ten years, even after you were exiled, didn't the princess kill Concubine Mo and others, and let Concubine Mo live all these years lonely?!"
She actually let the aunt and nephew play with each other...... said that she was useless, and the later 'epidemic' was wiped out again!"
"Saying that she is capable, she actually made you ...... I don't even know what to think of this mother-in-law?"
Rong Sleeping Crane laughed when he heard this, and said: "Actually, I can't blame her for being useless, but because Concubine Mo didn't explicitly propose to clean me up for a few years at that time, she relaxed her vigilance." Especially on the eve of Mo's aunt and nephew's move, the concubine asked the side concubine to hint that King Gaomi's concubine still had the children to make trouble, and asked Huihe to pretend to be sick repeatedly, which made the princess tired, so she couldn't react in time and asked the person who kidnapped me to escape!"
"After that, our cheap grandmother, that is, Mrs. Qin, felt that my existence affected the relationship between the princess and King Gaomi very much, anyway, the princess had no shortage of biological male heirs at that time, so she simply let the concubine and the side concubine get her wish, just use this reason to arouse the guilt of King Gaomi and gain the upper hand in one fell swoop...... So the Zhao family was entrusted by the princess, and when they were tracking down the clues, under the orders of the old lady Qin, they deliberately released the water and let the ship carrying me go out to sea!"
After the princess reacted, she got the news that there was an accident on the sea ship and no one survived. ”
He said indifferently, "It is said that in addition to the 'epidemic' incident later, the princess did not have contact with Mrs. Qin for many years, which is related to this matter. ”
“…… In this case, why do I think the princess seems to be strange and pitiful?" Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while, and said carefully, "Of course, as a biological mother, she really didn't protect you back then......"
Rong Sleepy Crane shook his head and said, "Since I think she was helpless at that time, naturally I won't blame her for this." ”
"That crane, what is he blaming me for?!" Rong Sleeping Crane's answer was passed on to Princess Gaomi a few days later through the mouth of Aunt Zhao, who came to the door to beg.
When the princess heard the news, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and subconsciously asked, "Since he doesn't blame me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a biological mother, why should he be so cold to me?"
"Or, although he doesn't blame me, he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore?"
