Chapter 232: A Man or a Ghost
Ten miles on the outskirts of Beijing, an unnamed small mountain village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In a small farmhouse courtyard with an inconspicuous appearance, Mrs. Cui and Cui Jinghao's mother and son, who had escaped death, looked at each other with anxious faces, and they all sighed lightly.
A few months ago, when Mrs. Cui, who had been prepared, heard that the new emperor wanted to dispose of his mother and son, she preemptively launched the stand-in she had prepared a long time ago, and used Li Dai's stubborn strategy to escape the catastrophe.
The mother and son of the Cui family, who had been secretly hiding in a small house in the capital, were going to fish in troubled waters when Emperor Qiandi entered Beijing, sneaked out of the capital, and returned to his own home in Luyang.
But where would Mrs. Cui have thought that just as her mother and son were preparing for the golden cicada to come out of its shell, they were plundered by the Lingwu arrangers who had already noticed them and imprisoned in this small farm yard.
Ling Wu, who has been staying in the capital and is in charge of intelligence gathering, naturally knows a lot about the affairs of the Cui family.
After she put Cui's mother and son under house arrest, instead of blocking their mother and son's contact with the outside world, she sent a steady stream of news about Master Cui into this small farm yard.
Lingwu, who grew up in the Qinglou, knows better than anyone how terrible it is for a woman who is jealous and driven crazy by her husband's betrayal to take revenge on people.
Early in the morning of this day, after Mrs. Cui received the news from Li Er's family, the companion she stayed in the capital, she rushed into her son's room with a desperate face.
"San Lang, your father wants to kill my mother and son!" Mrs. Cui remembered that the letter said that the palace had learned the news that their mother and son were alive, and her husband, ---- Master Cui, in order to curry favor with Cining Palace, decided to make a mistake and secretly execute their mother and son in the suburbs.
"It can't be!" Cui Jinghao immediately shook his head when he heard this, refusing to believe it. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children! What's more, when he was in Qinghe in the past, his father's favorite son was himself.
"San Lang, it's true." A trace of madness flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, as if with a little sadness, a little despair and unwillingness, she roared desperately, "San Lang, you don't know, the poisonous woman in Cining Palace is ......"
"She's pregnant with your father's flesh and blood........"
"No, it can't be." When Cui Jinghao heard this, he was shaky. The mouth kept whispering "impossible, impossible.......
Although he had long known that his father and the Empress Dowager Zhang in the Cining Palace had a head and tail, he didn't believe that the Empress Dowager would do such an unbearable thing.
No, it can't be! Cui Jinghao closed his eyes in pain and shook his head constantly.
If even his father was going to kill their mother and son, then what was the point of him and his mother still living in this small courtyard?
Now everyone in the world thinks that he has been in a different place, and he lives in this world like a ghost, isn't he just waiting for the day in the future, after his father gains power, he will take their mother and son back to Qinghe, and continue to live that leisurely, comfortable, rich and unparalleled good life?
But now, if even his father abandoned him, then what's the point of living like him without being a ghost or a ghost?
No, he is not reconciled! He Cui Jinghao is the son of a thousand-year-old family, and he is the merry young man of the Great Jin Dynasty, he is unwilling to be abandoned by the world like this, he wants to go to the capital, he wants to ask his father in person, ask him if he wants to be so ruthless!
Thinking of this, Cui Jinghao desperately pushed his mother away, slammed open the door, and staggered out.
"San Lang!" Mrs. Cui, who was sitting on the ground, quickly stood up and chased out.
Mrs. Cui knew deep down that the mysterious person who imprisoned their mother and son was not a soft-hearted master. Since the other party dared to imprison them here, and was willing to let them continue to contact the outside world with confidence, he was naturally not afraid of them escaping.
If Saburo rushes out desperately like this and annoys the other party, I'm afraid it's not good. Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui quickened her pace, and finally hugged her son in front of the courtyard gate.
"San Lang, don't be impulsive!" Mrs. Cui hugged her son tightly, and now she was the only one left with this son to rely on her.
"Mother, I'm going to ask my father personally." Cui Jinghao, who was distracted and helpless, looked at the few guards on both sides of the courtyard gate who were holding weapons, staring fiercely at their mother and son, closed his eyes in pain, and let his mother drag him back to the low stool in the middle of the courtyard.
"San Lang, what are you still asking him for?" Speaking of her husband, Mrs. Cui was full of anger.
That man, I'm afraid, forgot that he was still a father when he climbed into his daughter-in-law's boudoir.
"If your father had a heart, he would have come to us a long time ago, so why ......" and why licked his face to curry favor with Empress Dowager Zhang of Cining Palace?
Mrs. Cui remembered that in the past month, when her companion went back to the house several times to secretly ask to see the master, but was blocked out of the gate by the Cui family, the coldness in her heart was even worse.
Cui Yu, since you ignore the love between husband and wife for 30 years, then don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust!
"Mother, what should we do?" Cui Jinghao, who was disheartened, did not notice his mother's madness. At this time, like a drowning man grasping the last straw, he threw himself into his mother's arms.
"Mother, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" Cui Jinghao's face was full of tears, and he kept shaking his head helplessly. At this moment, the grievances he suffered when he hid in Tibet some time ago, and the fear of being imprisoned here in the last month, all turned into tears and gushed out.
"San Lang, don't worry." Mrs. Cui patted her son's back and comforted her softly. Mrs. Cui naturally didn't want to die, Cui Yu's ruthless negative person hadn't died yet, how could she die first?
"Since the man brought us here, there must be a place for us." Mrs. Cui gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her son's eyes, with a loving face.
"That being the case, that man will not care if we live or die. We'll stay here for the time being, and we'll just wait for each other's arrangements. Mrs. Cui looked up and looked not far away, and the few guards with powerful swords in their hands felt a lot more at ease.
These guards are both their watchmen and their umbrellas.
Now there are too many people outside who want to kill their mother and son, and it is better to be quiet than to move, at least in this small farm yard, their safety is still guaranteed. Since the other party can rob them with great powers, there must be some means.
As for what the other party wants their mother and son to do, Mrs. Cui still understands a little in her heart. With the identity of their mother and son, what purpose can the other party have when they are imprisoned but not killed, they just want to keep their mother and son to deal with their own master.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui sneered in her heart. This is just right, she is a woman's family, and her mother's Luyang Fan family has lost power, and she wants to take revenge against Cui Yuzhengchou without help! With the help of this mysterious person, it is twice the result with half the effort.
Cui Yu, Cui Yu, aren't you trying to harm the lives of our mother and son in order to please the poisonous woman in Cining Palace? Then don't blame me for turning into a ghost and asking for your life.
Let the world take a look, a trace of madness flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, look at whether our mother and son are human or ghost when they reappear in front of people! (To be continued.) )
