Chapter 242: On the Grave
Xiaoyue covered her body, turned inside, and left a back to look out, Wanyan Shilu hooked the corners of her mouth, and lifted the quilt for most of it.
"Please come in!" he said.
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened, and a tall woman in yellow entered.
When she saw the spring color in the room, she still bowed over and saluted without changing her face, and said, "Yu Yao has seen His Royal Highness." ”
"Why are you?, who are you?" said Wanyan Shilu coldly.
Yu Yao raised his eyes and carefully looked at the man in front of him, he was half-exposed, and he was only wearing a golden mangled coat, which echoed a piece of golden hair, and his handsome face was smiling, with an inexplicable temptation.
"I'm asking you!Who are you Yu Wen!" Wanyan Shilu still asked in a cold voice, the woman looked at him stunned, and he was annoyed to see it......
Yu Yao replied clearly: "Yu Wennai is my father, the third prince, today's matter, my father has asked me to wait for a long time. ”
Wanyan Shilu: "Your father is not in the capital?"
"It's true that he's not there, my father is in Songshan at the moment. Yu Yao said truthfully, she seemed to be willing to talk about this matter.
Revealing Yu Wen's whereabouts, is it difficult for her, and what benefits are there?
"Okay, you little girl, how can you help me finish it? Your father is just too child's play!" said Wanyan Shilu.
He seemed to be a little angry when he said it, but he smiled on his face.
People who look down on women, Yu Yao has always looked down on them, suppressed a trace of disgust in his heart, and still said:
"The prince doesn't have to be in a hurry, the little girl has only been doing business with her father for many years, and helping the prince is not to say that she is handy, and she will never be sloppy. It will be done as it is. ”
After Yu Yao finished speaking calmly, her body hadn't stood up yet, she had been leaning over for a long time, this Wanyan Shilu was embarrassing her!
However, even though she was already sour, her tone was still pertinent.
"Words spoken by yourself. Don't break your word and get fat!" Wanyan Shilu said.
Yu Yao: "This is nature. ”
"Sit down, tell me how to do it. He commanded.
Yu Yao finally straightened up, sat down on the side without changing her face, and her eyes were lifted to the half-exposed woman on the bed of Wanyan Shilu.
"How many people did the third prince bring into Beijing. No one knows. Yu Yao asked.
Wanyan Shilu: "Except for me, there are only three people, all of whom have hidden their whereabouts, and naturally no one knows." ”
"Not necessarily, the prince doesn't know, and he is looking for some women in the restaurant. Most likely, it will be someone else's eyeliner. Yu Yao said flatly.
Xiaoyue's body moved, and she reached out and pulled the quilt up.
"What? I'm a man who does what he needs to do, why can't I?" he said slutfully, looking at Yu Yao directly, as if there was something interesting.
Yu Yao: "The prince doesn't know that half of the fireworks in the capital is owned by the King of Shu, and the other half belongs to the King of Wu, how many of them have arranged killers and informants. You shouldn't take any chances. ”
"Why, your prince here also owns some restaurants per person, this is the master who will enjoy it. After Yan Shilu said, Hao didn't care.
Xiaoyue was already a little angry, who was this Yu Yao? She actually compared herself to the fireworks woman, wouldn't she be practicing herself.
Yu Yao just reminded him, whether the prince listens or not, it is not for Yu Yao to care. My father's preparation day was June 20, and there was plenty of time. She said calmly.
Putting on a pretense of not really caring, she just said this in the hope that he would trust her a little more. There was no other idea of keeping him safe.
"June 20, my sister is still thousands of miles away, and when she comes, the time may not be too late. Wanyan Shilu thought, his eyes glancing at Yu Yao with his spare eyes.
This woman. The appearance is not stunning, the temperament is like an orchid, but the whole person reveals an unfathomable feeling, which is a bit interesting.
"Didn't you say that you would go to Beijing together? I didn't know that the princess hadn't arrived. Yu Yao wondered.
Wanyan Shilu: "Xia Dan temporarily decided to go to Jiangzhou to play, I can't stop her, you don't have to worry." She's not always the same. ”
"I hope the princess will be able to come back in time! ”
As she spoke, she stood up neatly and saluted.
Yu Yao said goodbye, and the next time they met, her father would come to discuss with the prince. ”
"Why, why didn't you father and daughter release the news earlier? Wanyan Shilu asked.
They partnered with this father and daughter, and no matter how you look at it, they are at a disadvantage.
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows, revealing a capable look!
"Your Royal Highness, you don't have a choice, my father gave you the equivalent of a year's income from the treasury to recruit troops, and it would be a traitor to the country if someone was discovered! ”
After speaking, the man had already walked out, and closed the door by the way.
"She's so unreasonable, Shi Lu, you can bear it. ”
The woman on the bed said, I don't know if she tore off Wanyan Shilu's coat intentionally or accidentally.
"Hehe......"
He just smiled, didn't answer Xiaoyue, and went to bed instead.
"Xiao Tong, you let me down!" said in his arms.
I don't know how long I walked, Xue Jiao only felt that his whole body was already sore, his speed was too fast, because he couldn't see the scene all the way, he should only feel that he was out of the capital.
"It's coming soon, just a moment. Xiao Tong said softly.
Before he could answer, he put his feet back on the ground.
It feels so good to touch the ground, but when I think about it, my feet are a little soft.
"What's wrong?are you okay?" Xiao Tong said with concern, holding her with both hands.
"I'm fine, but... Where is this?" asked Xue Bao, looking at the surrounding wasteland, a little strange.
Xiao Tong replied: "Here, this is a barren mountain in the south of the city, and it has no name. ”
"In that case, what are you bringing here?" asked Snow Coat again.
There was some warmth in my heart.
"I brought you here because of this ......" Xiao Tong looked at her, saying that it was an answer and an explanation, pointing to a big tree opposite.
Xue Bao: "What's wrong?"
She always felt uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know why......
Seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Tong reached over and held her tightly!
Somehow, she shirked for a long time, but she was still grabbed.
The two held hands, step by step, and walked towards the tree.
Just glanced at the tree, it should be a banyan tree, and it grew very tall. The leafy and vibrant appearance should also be hundreds of years old.
"I'll take you to see my father......" said the man next to him, holding her hand tightly.
Xue Bao: "Prime Minister Xiao? Isn't it chasing the horse and burying it in the imperial mausoleum?"
"That's what you think. Not really. Xiao Tong smiled bitterly, his lips were as dry as blood-stained flowers.
Listening to his laughter, Xue Yu only felt as if a knife was cutting in his heart, and he was a little breathless.
Xue Bao: "I thought that the emperor just degraded the Xiao family and stayed away from the capital, and he didn't set up a single grave." Buried Prime Minister Xiao here hastily! How can I say that the Xiao family is also the hero who protected him on the throne!"
"The Xiao family has done a lot of things wrong, it's not as simple as you think, and I'm just surviving. ”
He lowered his head and said, the sadness in his eyes was distressing.
Xue Bao: "Xiao Tong, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, do you remember Princess Peace?" he said with a forced smile.
"Princess Pinghe, isn't it your biological mother?" Xue replied, it was strange that he actually called his mother like this, how could there be a mother in the world who did not love her children?
Princess Naping seemed to have a cold look whenever she saw Xiao Tong, with disgust in her eyes.
Xiao Tong: "Hehe... No. She's my father-killer!"
"How so?" she asked.
"Back then, my father had a son in his seventies, and he didn't know how good he was to treat her, and she also loved me at that time, but who knew that a few years later, after my father died, I became the most disgusting of her. ”
Xiao Tong recalled, leaning against the trunk of the tree, a pair of shining eyes drooping.
Xue Bao: "The princess may have some reason, she is not also unmarried for life." Silently defend your father. ”
"If you say this, it's really a big mistake, she is hindering the emperor's order and doesn't dare to marry. It is necessary to save face for the saints. Xiao Tong said with a smile.
Xue Cao couldn't help but approach him: "Maybe I don't understand. Xiao Tong, you just hate her, how can you kill your father and enemy? She is your biological mother after all. And didn't the prime minister die in the end?"
Princess Pinghe is just a victim, for the sake of Li Quan's country!
"Xue Bao, how did your mother give you every birthday?" Xiao Tong still smiled. Stretched out his hand, his eyes looked at her, and he was a little thirsty.
Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, because he mentioned his mother, and because of his sadness.
"My mother would make me snow lotus cake, soft and waxy with a hint of bitterness, and then I would leave a figure mark on her clothes, and it would be like this. ”
The woman is reminiscing, her eyes are closed lightly, her beautiful eyelashes are like fan feathers, and the delicate flowers between her eyebrows are like butterflies dancing, as if she is dancing out of a painting......
She stretched out her hand, and the snow robe led Xiao Tong to get up, straightened his body, leaned on him, and put their hands on the top of her head, just to the corner of Xiao Tong's lips.
As long as I think of my mother, all that Xuefu has is only happiness, that is my own relatives, the only person in this world who will believe in it no matter what!
Thinking of this, Xue Yu couldn't help laughing, but laughed, a sincere smile, at this moment, she finally had the carefree and youthful nature of a girl.
"Is that so?Xue Bao, how much taller is your mother than you?" Xiao Lenlen asked, his hand not lowered, and he was fascinated by the sweet smile of Xue Xuan's eyes.
"My mother is tall, I didn't reach her shoulder when I was a child, and now... Now I don't know. She's gone to ......"
When he asked, the snow robe became cold, a little lonely, but he raised his eyes to look at him.
"I didn't mean to, don't be sad. Xiao Tong said hurriedly, his brows furrowed very tightly, and the scar deliberately caught the eye on that flawless face.
"No, I'm not sad, you have your sorrow, but I don't. My mother was tired and left. She is in another place, it should be more relaxed, and living is not a kind of constraint on her. ”
Xue Yu smiled, narrowed the corners of her mouth but said comfortingly, as if she was not comforting herself, but talking to Xiao Tong.
He looked at her worried face, his heart warmed, and he said: "You don't know, I hate peace, because she killed my father, the only person in this world who is good to me!"
"Xiao Tong, what evidence do you have when you say this? Princess Pinghe really did this? murder her husband?" Xue Yu said strangely.
The emperor wants to kill Prime Minister Xiao because the power of the Xiao family is too great, but shouldn't he put his mind at ease after marrying peacefully?
Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is old, and he still has a few years to live? When he dies naturally, it is logical for him to do other things.
"No, my father was killed by the medicine of peace, she used the medicine of slowness, and I quietly went to see my father that day, and she happened to tell the truth there!" Xiao Tong said angrily!
Xue Yu asked, "Which day?" is it the day when Prime Minister Xiao Cheng died?"
"That's right, that night. I overheard the doctor say that my father had died of kidney failure, and I didn't understand it at the time, but I thought it was strange because the doctor died later!"
He replied, putting the two of them apart.
Xue Bao: "Kidney failure, not necessarily old death, maybe... Maybe it's poisoning. ”
"That's it, a few days later, I quietly looked at my father's coffin, and his lips and teeth were all black and purple!
Xue Cao followed and said, "Xiao Tong, after so many years, haven't you ever thought of asking Princess Pinghe to find out?"
"No, you don't have to look for her, I know what ......," he said coldly.
Suddenly get down on your knees behind a tree!
"Here, could it be the burial place of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng?" Xiao Tong, what did you do?" Xue Yu said in surprise, instantly thinking of something.
Xiao Tong turned his head with a bewitching smile, dressed in black, he looked like a hellish Shura, with some weird colors.
"I carried my father out overnight, and it took two days to bury him under this tree! On the third day, Pinghe just made a mound and hid it in the imperial mausoleum!" he said.
Xue Bao: "You were only a few years old at the time, this ......"
It's not hard to imagine how difficult it is for a child to carry a corpse on his back in the middle of the night and walk so far to be buried here.
"It's a pity that Pinghe still knew, and then she sent someone to hunt me down! The Xiao family was also sent back to their hometown, and I was the only one left in the capital!" Xiao Tong continued.
He can't take revenge, that's the royal family behind his back, and he can't do anything except keep his father dead and don't have to be buried with the enemy!
He pulled out a jug of wine from his chest, and the jug was so small that the snow robe didn't even notice it.
He spilled wine on the grave, saying it was a grave, but it was just a raised weed.
Xiao Tong smiled and said, "Dad, the child has come to see you, it's another year!"
Let's talk about it, solemnly kowtow three times!
Then he stood up and carefully plucked the grass from the grave.
Seeing this scene, Xue Cao couldn't help but think of the grave of her mother on the snow mountain, there is no grass in the snow mountain, and the mother's side should still be desolate!
Only the cold ice and snow are accompanied by the mother, is it also lonely?
"Snow coat, snow coat?"
She was so engrossed that she realized that Xiao Tong was calling her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Xiao Tong didn't move, his eyes were deep like evil spirits, and the corners of his lips were hooked.
"Dad told me something, do you want to listen?" (To be continued.) )
