Chapter 50: Acacia Blossoms Bloom (1)
Yan Qingshuang's sudden intrusion made Luo Chun a little panicked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info She was frightened, coughing intensified, and she lay on the quilt, out of breath.
Chu Yunxi was also startled, but then remembered that because of the unexpected encounter with Luo Chun, she had forgotten all about her guarding the door, and now her bizarre "life experience" has been known to Yan Qingshuang, but the two of them were best friends who had gone through the test of life and death, and it didn't matter if she heard this secret.
Speaking from her heart, she has been separated from Luo Chun for a long time, and she has no idea what Luo Chun has experienced over the years. Luo Chun suddenly told her this shocking and strange thing today, and she inevitably had doubts in her heart, and it was difficult for her to believe it completely. She is not a villain, but the more she experiences the world, the lower her trust in people and things.
But Yan Qingshuang's reaction seemed to be far more excited than her, she suddenly broke into the door, threw herself on the side of the bed, and kept asking: "What did you just say, you say it again." ”
Luo Chun was dizzy by her shaking the ground, her breath was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't speak. Chu Yunxi hurriedly pulled Yan Qingshuang away, pulled a chair on the side of the bed and asked her to sit down, and said calmly: "You sit down quickly, listen to Luochun speak slowly." If you already know it, you don't need to hide it. There is no secret between us sisters. She turned around and stroked Luo Chun's back, smoothed her breath, and comforted: "Chun, you don't need to panic and be afraid, this is Yan Qingshuang, who once saved my life." This time, because I don't know that you are looking for me, I came to protect me, you haven't seen her yet, in fact, we have known each other long before you were deceived into Chang'an, and she has taken care of the eldest brother for a few days. She's definitely trustworthy, and it's okay to say something to her face. ”
Luo Chun gradually stopped coughing, and a pair of cloudy eyes swirled between the two, but they just kept their mouths shut, looking extremely cautious. Yan Qingshuang was anxious, so she begged softly: "Aunt Luochun, don't worry, I am Yunxi's good friend, and there is absolutely no malice." Just now, I was in a hurry, and I was a little rude, so please don't be surprised. Tell me, the little princess you just spoke of, has an orchid tattoo on her left shoulder. But there must be a lot of women with tattoos on their bodies in the world, and the queen sent her daughter out of the palace back then, except for tattooing her daughter, didn't she leave any other tokens? ”
Luo Chun looked into her eyes, only to feel that her phoenix eyes were very cold, both confused and charming, and fierce, such cold and charming eyes seemed familiar. She lowered her head and muttered for a moment, and admitted in a low voice: "You are right, the princess and the queen ordered us to send Yunxi and the little princess out of the palace separately, and left tokens on the two of them when they left. What was left for Yunxi was the plum blossom crystal hairpin, the object of love that your father gave to your mother at that time. It's a pity that when you were five years old, you were curious and playful, and you turned it out, and you quietly wore it to play without me, so you lost it, I don't know if you remember. ”
Of course, Chu Yunxi remembered that she cried for a long time for the lost hairpin, and she still vaguely remembered that Luochun comforted her at that time and did not tell her mother about the loss of the hairpin. Afterwards, she felt very lucky, such a beautiful and valuable hairpin was lost to her mother, and she never found it. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that my mother did not know about the existence of this hairpin, and even this hairpin was not my mother's property at all. The suspicion rising in her heart became thicker and thicker, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
What Luo Chun said was well-founded, which tilted the balance in her heart to the side that believed.
"What about the little princess? What + token did the queen mother leave for her? Yan Qingshuang asked anxiously.
"One is a small phoenix crown made of pure gold, and the phoenix mouth holds a North Sea night pearl, which is one of the most valuable dowry gifts given by the emperor when he marries the queen, and there is also a ......"
Yan Qingshuang's eyes were suddenly red, her eyes were full of tears, and she took out a Shu embroidered square scarf from her sleeve, with tattoos on both sides, one picture of the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, and the other picture of Luan Feng and Ming, and said in a choked voice: "The other is this brocade." ”
Luo Chun shouted "ah", pulled the Jinpa from her hand, rubbed it over and over, looked at the color of each thin line on it, his eyes were shining with strange light, and he shouted in an unbelievable tone: "This is impossible, how can you have this thing, is there an identical handkerchief in the world?" ”
Yan Qingshuang cried with grief, looked up to the sky and said with a wry smile: "Jinpa can be fake, and Fengguan can be faked, so what about this, is there really such a coincidence in the world?" As she spoke, she opened her placket, revealing the snow-white shoulder on the left, on which a bunch of orchids were proudly blooming gracefully, the orchid was alone in a secluded deep valley, independent of the world, pure and high is not the same as the world, just like the fierce queen of the flower dynasty, both the woman's chastity and tenderness, and the noble pride of the descendants of the gate.
Luo Chun saw that the tattoo on Yan Qingshuang's left shoulder seemed to be greatly stimulated, and he almost fainted.
Chu Yunxi was also speechless for a long time in shock, and now this physical evidence was placed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't believe it. She also opened her shirt, revealing the bloody plum tattoo on her right shoulder, and at this moment the red plum orchids echoed each other, as if the two mothers' souls were guided by the darkness, and after being separated for nearly twenty years, they were reunited together.
The two looked at the tattoos on each other's shoulders, mixed with joy and sorrow, and cried at each other. Yan Qingshuang was even more embarrassed, stretched out her arms to hug Chu Yunxi, and cried with joy: "Strange way, I felt warm when I saw you for the first time, and I felt pity when I saw you hurt, it turned out that you and I were sympathetic cousins, after being lonely for so long, I finally found my relatives, thank God for making you my sister, we have the same miserable life experience, have the same cruel fate, but we are sisters, although we are not born from the same mother, but we all have the blood of the Li royal family." In the future, we can rely on each other and keep each other warm, and we will no longer be lonely and helpless. ”
Chu Yunxi nodded on her shoulder and said happily: "I lost a sister and gained another sister, one hates me to the bone, and the other protects me deeply." Although our fate is full of twists and turns, it seems that God always compensates in another form, and we always lose before we can gain. ”
Their sisters were reunited, Luo Chun was also sad and wept on the side, she hugged the two of them, and was full of emotion: "I still remember your mother's voice and appearance, and now you are like your mother back then, as if they have not passed away, and they are continuing through your life." ”
Yan Qingshuang has a strong temperament, she is originally emotionally introverted, and rarely cries, such a sad relative has made her a little embarrassed. She gradually suppressed her tears and helped Chu Yunxi dry her tears. The two stopped crying, looked at each other awkwardly and smiled, Yan Qingshuang had quickly accepted her life experience, and asked Luo Chun one of the biggest doubts in her heart: "Aunt Chun, is your sister Dong'er a little taller, with apricot eyes and a round face, five thin and short fingers, and a small rouge mole between her nose?" ”
As expected, Luo Chun nodded yes.
"That's right." Yan Qingshuang said firmly, "That sister of yours Dong'er is the nurse who has been taking me around and relying on each other for her life. I have always regarded her as my own mother, but she has always been genuinely afraid of my closeness, and no matter how bad our lives are, she always treats me as a master. I was puzzled, and even sulked at her respectful and detached attitude. She didn't let me stay in Xunbao City in the northwest, didn't let me stay in the place where Han and Hu lived together, and didn't allow me to marry a foreigner with Huzu blood. She told me to return to the Central Plains no matter what, even if I died, I would die on the land of my hometown. I am forever grateful for all she has done for me. ”
Luo Chun asked in surprise: "So Sister Dong'er is still alive, and she has always lived with you?" I was also about to ask you how you have lived for so many years. Soon after the queen's death, the Qi family was completely defeated, and her uncle could not escape death, was arrested and imprisoned, and died soon after. When I searched the house, I specially asked the old man to inquire, and there was not a baby less than half a year old in the family of the guilty person. Did you then flee to the northwest? ”
"Yes." Yan Qingshuang said, "Although I haven't heard my nurse talk about my life experience, since I can remember, we have been going around as our home, and finally ended up in the northwest, and there is no need to mention the hardships and hardships along the way." It wasn't until we met the master that we lived a few years of stability. ”
"What about your nurse? Can I meet her? ”
Yan Qingshuang shook her head, her eyes showing sadness: "I have long been separated from her, when I was fifteen years old, Shi Jiaheng led the army to fight Tuoba Hui, and the nurse forced me to leave." I don't know where she is now, or if I'm okay. ”
Luo Chun let out a low groan, and the excitement quickly receded, leaving a blank gap and sadness.
The three of them had their own concerns, and they were silent for a while, before Chu Yunxi asked again: "Spring, how have you spent all these years?" How did you escape from Chu Xiaolian? ”
Luo Chun said gloomily: "After Madame died, I thought I couldn't live. Madame assured Chu Xiaolian that you would never know his true identity, and then committed suicide in front of you with half a bamboo hairpin. Chu Xiaolian originally wanted to kill you, but then he planned to imprison you for life, probably because you were the only blood and blood of his eldest brother, and he had a good life for a while. ”
"So Chu Xiaolian actually knows our background?" Chu Yunxi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I don't know how he knows. Not only does he know your background, but he also knows that I am the queen's maid, so he deliberately left my name and imprisoned me in Zhaoxue Nunnery. Later, he found an artist out of nowhere, who was skilled in oral skills and could learn anyone's voice vividly. Chu Xiaolian ordered me to tell him all the private affairs of the queen that I knew before her death, and asked me to teach him the voice and tone of the queen's speech. Then Chu Xiaolian sent him to the palace. ”
"I see." Chu Yunxi suddenly came to his senses, "That person is Miao Dao. Yes, it is rumored in the palace that he has psychic skills and can communicate with ghosts. He also often practiced the method of letting the queen's soul attach himself to him and talk with the emperor at night. It turned out that the so-called ghost and spirit theory was just a trick by Chu Xiaolian to pretend to be a ghost, and he wanted to use the emperor's deep affection for the queen to strengthen the emperor's trust in him. ”
"And that's not all." Luo Chun added, "He also tried to use the queen's influence on the emperor to influence the emperor's thoughts. ”
"I heard that shortly after Chu Xiaolian's death, this Miao Dao man was also executed. This is a very happy end. Yan Qingshuang said hatefully.
"Nope." Luo Chun said sadly, "He is a good person. His old mother was imprisoned by Chu Xiaolian, and he had to be controlled by him. He hated Chu Xiaolian so much. But he was afraid of his mother's life, so he had no choice but to be used by him. He deliberately lied every once in a while that he had something incomprehensible and needed to re-discuss with me, just because he was afraid that Chu Xiaolian would think that I was useless and put me to death. He once told me that the day his mother died was when he revealed the truth to the emperor. I believed in him as a person, and I told him everything I knew, including your background. Originally, he didn't have to die, Chu Xiaolian's conspiracy was exposed, with the emperor's deep affection for the queen, even if he knew that his so-called psychic skills were fake, it was good to stay by his side and listen to the queen's voice from time to time, it must be that he confessed to the emperor that he committed suicide. I think he has followed his mother to the underground to do his filial piety. ”
"So, he's really a dutiful knight." Yan Qingshuang praised.
Chu Yunxi suddenly thought that if Luo Chun's guess was true, it meant that the emperor already knew her true identity: "If this is the case, wouldn't the emperor already know that I am her sister's daughter." She recalled the day Chu Xiaolian was besieged, the emperor's demeanor and tone, and every word he said seemed to have something in his words. She suddenly made a bolder guess: "I think maybe on the night of my arrest, Miao Daoren told the truth to the emperor." Maybe although the emperor didn't believe it, he was still suspicious after all. If Chu Xiaolian really had been acting at the emperor's behest, the government and the opposition would have been shaken by the matter of seizing the love, and the emperor would have prevaricated perfunctorily, and it would have been over. This time, he could have done it again, he didn't have to meet with everyone in person, as long as he blindly believed in the reason made up by Chu Xiaolian, and executed me on the charge of confusing the public with a fallacy, framing the prime minister, and disrupting the court by disrupting the court by disguising herself as a man. The reason why the emperor approved the ministers' request to see him that day was about to believe in Miao Daoren's words, after all, if Chu Xiaolian really killed his brother and replaced him, he would be a serious crime of bullying the king, and he would have different intentions towards him. It was precisely because of Miao Daoren's words that he was suspicious that he gave us a chance. And in the spring, you said that I looked similar to my biological mother, and the emperor saw my appearance and asked me about my birthday, so he was even more convinced of my identity. That's why I said that I was sorry for my parents' guilty words. It seems that the emperor finally saw through Wan Qingrou's lies and lived in remorse. So what about that Wan Qingrou, did she also get the end she deserved. ”
Luo Chun nodded and said, "She threw herself into the warm lake of Yuyang Palace, and when she found her body, she had been bitten by the fish in the lake. It's also deserved. ”
Yan Qingshuang immediately felt very happy when she heard this, and she was dripping with joy.
Chu Yunxi didn't feel happy at all, she still had a lot of unsolved patterns: "If our life experience is not what you told Chu Xiaolian, could it be that my mother told him?" ”
Luo Chun wondered why Chu Yunxi asked like this, and hurriedly denied: "No, it is impossible, Mrs. Bai Qiao doesn't know that you are not her biological daughter. ”
Chu Yunxi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "This is impossible, then how did you send me into the mansion?" Could it be, could it be ......" She suddenly thought of something and looked at Luo Chun in panic.
Luo Chun said: "In the entire Chu Mansion, only your second uncle and I know your life experience. At that time, I stopped his carriage on his way home, and delivered the token to him along with the princess's letters. After reading the letter, he hurriedly burned it, and then wrapped you in a bag and sent you into the house, when your mother gave birth, and your second uncle wanted to make you his daughter with Bai Qiao. Madame gave birth to a baby girl that night. Your second uncle originally wanted to treat your two sisters as dragon and phoenix fetuses, but he was afraid that they would not get along when they grew up, arousing suspicion, and they were in trouble. Mrs. Bai Qiao's daughter suddenly had a weak breath, because she was born prematurely, her qi and blood were insufficient, and she was about to swallow. Your second uncle didn't dare to alarm everyone in the house to seek medical treatment in a panic, and he was afraid that the ineffective treatment would hurt Mrs. Bai Qiao's heart, making her like the second lady, sad for her deceased son all day long, and her injuries became sick. He simply made up his mind and asked the midwife to take him to the outside of the city to be buried, and directly pretended you to be his daughter. ”
Chu Yunxi felt the pain of eating his bones in his heart, and tears poured down: "That mother's daughter is the dead child, when she was taken away, did she have an immortal lock around her neck that originally belonged to her?" ”
Yan Qingshuang knew that Chu Yunxi and Bai Qiao were in deep love, and when she heard the tragic incident, she was also deeply saddened, seeing that the tears she had finally stopped were flooding again, she couldn't help but hug her shoulders, wanting to give her some support and comfort.
Luo Chun was surprised: "How do you know? Each child of the Chu family has an immortal lock, which must be worn around the neck at the moment of birth, because the child's birth date can generally be deduced from the time the mother is pregnant, so the immortal lock is often cast in advance. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and your second uncle was also panicked, thinking only about how to hide it from everyone so that you could have an official identity to stay in the house. When the midwife took the dying baby girl away, he forgot to remove the immortal lock around her neck. Yours was recast later. Afterwards, your second uncle also regretted it, and the disposal was hasty, and she sent someone to find the midwife, but she had already moved away with her husband's family. After inquiring for a long time, I only knew that the midwife's surname was Huang, and she later moved to Jiangyin with her husband's family. Lord Chu was not at ease, so he continued to send people to inquire, and it was easy to find some eyebrows, but he heard that the husband of the Huang midwife went to the sea and died, and the Huang wife also contracted dysentery and died, and the children in the family were lost without anyone to supervise them. Lord Chu gave up, thinking that Huang's family was also pitiful, and what made him saddest the most was that he didn't even know where his own daughter was buried, and he couldn't build a decent tomb for her and worship her. ”
"The immortal lock in the eldest sister's hand is very likely to be lost. Then the owner of the immortal lock, if he didn't get it by accident, could have been...... It's my mother's own daughter. ”
"No, it won't." Yan Qingshuang frowned slightly, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world." ”
Chu Yunxi sighed lightly: "If it is a coincidence, you and I will reunite, Luochun will not die, which thing at the moment is not coincidental and coincidental, mysterious and mysterious." ”
"That's just as well." Yan Qingshuang thought about it and said, "If I hadn't met you in the bamboo forest that day, I would have taken the Jinpa to find death in Shudi, and I wouldn't have found the truth about my background." ”
"Maybe I'll really find a way to meet the owner of the immortal lock." Chu Yunxi made up his mind and said, "If she is really my mother's own daughter, I should also return the position of the fourth lady of the Chu family to her, and let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, so as to comfort her mother's spirit in the sky." ”
The three of them talked and chatted, and before they knew it, it was evening. Chu Yunxi finally met Luochun, but he didn't want to leave, and he couldn't take her back to the house to accompany her at all times, so he asked the servant to go home and report the news, saying that she was going to stay here for six or seven days, meditate on the Buddha, and pray for her family.
