Chapter 7: The Mysterious Lady
The neat room, the simple arrangement, everything is neatly placed in its rightful place, just like Mrs. Yu standing in front of Zhao Xian at this moment, solemn and silent, the years have carved an indelible mark on her face, but you can still vaguely see the delicate face and gentle temperament of her youth.
Standing next to this Jade Lady was the middle-aged man named Li Yong, looking at the two noble-looking sons standing in front of them with a confused and worried expression on his face.
Zhao Xian glanced at Zhao Yan behind him, and Zhao Yan immediately said knowingly, "Mr. Li, can you take a step to speak?" As he spoke, he led the Li Yong out of the room.
At this moment, only Zhao Xian and this Jade Lady were left in the room, and Lady Jade looked at Zhao Xian and returned the jade pendant in her hand to Zhao Xian, "Zhao Gongzi, where did this jade pendant come from?" ”
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Xian took a step forward, made a deep bow, and shouted in a low voice, "Niangniang, forgive me for not being able to give full courtesy." At first glance, when she heard the word Niangniang, the face of this Jade lady changed instantly, she took two steps back, forced herself to settle down, and said anxiously, "This son is denying the wrong person, the slave family is not a mother, just ordinary people."
Zhao Xian held the jade pendant in her hand, and then said, "This jade pendant was handed back to my wife by my father, and let me tell my wife a word, no one can replace my biological mother."
When Mrs. Yu heard the words of her biological mother, her eyes were red, tears rolled in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "Eighteen years, my child, I don't know if you are doing now, I miss you so much for my mother."
"Although Niangniang thinks about her biological child all the time, your child does not know that her biological mother is living and suffering abroad, and she does not know that Lu Dao Niangniang endures the suffering of missing her child, especially the poor life."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yu burst into tears, so much so that she couldn't cry later, and after a while, the lady controlled her emotions, paused, and asked, "Zhen'er he. He's okay now? ”
"The official family is now pro-government, and now the queen mother is in charge of the government, and the official family is pure and filial, and he can't bear to disobey his mother's wishes, and he doesn't want to continue to be a puppet emperor, so he is depressed all day long."
Zhao Xian paused for a moment and continued, "The official family has the ambition to show his ambitions, and he has a benevolent heart for the people. In view of the fact that the Queen Mother is their mother, they are subject to the Queen Mother everywhere and have no other way, and I hope that the Queen Mother can recognize the official family as soon as possible, so that the official family can put aside their worries, let go of governance, and create a dynasty for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."
It turned out that this Mrs. Yu was the biological mother of Zhao Zhen, the concubine Li Chen at that time.
Today's Zhang Xian Empress Dowager Liu E is not Zhao Zhen's biological mother, there is another twist and turn, when Liu E in order to take the current official family as his own, trying to kill Li Yu, fortunately Li Yu was rescued by the eight kings to escape from the palace, leaving Bianjing, and their biological mother and son have been separated since then.
Li Yu was also forced to flee to Hangzhou to live incognito, and was later taken in by Lin Kui, and adopted as a righteous daughter, who has been living in seclusion here in Gushan for more than ten years, living a poor life. For a long time, what Li Yu has never forgotten in her heart is to be able to take another look at her own son in her lifetime, even if it is just a glance, and then she will die, and it is this thought that supports her to continue to live.
And this Zhao Xian is undoubtedly the Huayi princess Zhao Xian.
"But if I show up rashly, regardless of whether Zhen'er believes in me, a mother he has never met and never heard of, just talking about Empress Dowager Liu's methods, whether I can meet Zhen'er is a question, let alone recognize each other? If I hurt Zhen'er because of this, wouldn't I have lived in seclusion in this lonely mountain for more than ten years in vain? ”
Li Yu took a few breaths, and then said hurriedly, "If you want me to recognize each other, this break is impossible, I would rather lose my cheap life than risk harming Zhen'er, you better go back quickly, you won't be left here." Li Yu shook his head decisively and gave the order to evict the guest.
"Niangniang thinks that blindly avoiding is for the good of the official family, which is very wrong. Niangniang's younger brother has been found by the people sent by the Queen Mother, and he will find this place soon, I just found you one step ahead of them, and now Niangniang can't avoid it if she wants to. Although Empress Dowager Liu's methods are vicious and insidious, if my father and I don't have all the best countermeasures, how dare we come to pick you up at will? Naturally, we also have a way to let the mother meet the official family and recognize each other smoothly. Niangniang put 10,000 hearts, we arranged everything, just waited for Niangniang to nod, and immediately set off back to Bianjing. Zhao Xian said in an unhurried tone, for fear that she would frighten Li Yu, who was like a frightened bird, because her tone was too urgent.
Hearing this, Li Yu's heart calmed down a little, and then raised his head and stared at Zhao Xian hesitantly. "Then which of the Eight Kings are you?"
Because Zhao Xian's too ordinary face is suspicious, but the half of the jade pendant in his hand is indeed the jade pendant that Li Yu entrusted the eight kings to wear on the current official Zhao Zhen when the eight kings sent Li Yu to escape from Bianjing, and the golden silk silk was put on by himself.
The braided style of the silk silk was designed by himself, and a certain section of it was mixed with a red silk thread, which could not be seen at all if he didn't look carefully, so this half of the jade pendant was not fake, and it was indeed handed over to the Eight Kings by himself. The other half is still carefully preserved by himself, and no one has seen it to this day.
Hearing Li Yu's cautious questioning, Zhao Xian's hand gently wiped on her face, and a bright face immediately appeared, with a faint smile on her face, so calm and calm.
"You. . . You? Are you a woman? Li Yu looked at Zhao Xian suspiciously, "You were sent by the Eight Kings?" Is it his.? ”
"Niangniang, please forgive me for the crime of concealing just now, the eighth king is my father, I am his youngest daughter, Niangniang can call me Zhao Xian."
Zhao Xian bowed slightly, then stood up and continued, "My father has been strictly guarding the secret of the official family's biological mother for so many years, just to tell him when the official family can really be in power. My father also told me about what happened back then, and we have been preparing for so many years in order to make the official family recognize you, so when the time is ripe, I will immediately come to my mother. In fact, for so many years, we have been secretly paying attention to you, for fear that the Queen Mother will find out about you and attack you."
"Niangniang, we know that you have been looking forward to seeing your own son all these years, and then listen to him call you 'mother' in person, and we also know your concerns, then you will recognize this as an adventure, if it is not successful, we can also ensure that you escape from Bianjing, just like when my father sent you out of Beijing. For the official family, you don't have to worry at all, the official family is now pro-government after all, no matter what, the queen mother doesn't dare to do anything to the current emperor. So take a gamble, otherwise you are ready to die in this lonely mountain with a lifetime of regrets? Zhao Xian's voice had a demagogic charm that stabilized people's hearts.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xian looked at Li Yu quietly, not urging or worrying.
After listening to these words, Li Yu lowered her head and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but after a while, she sighed slightly as if a long time had passed, then raised her eyes, looked at Zhao Xian with a resolute gaze, and seemed to have made up her mind, "Okay, what you said is right, I have been hiding for 18 years, and I have also thought about Zhen'er for 18 years, if I have the opportunity to meet him, I am willing to take risks, I don't want to wait for another 18 years, because I don't know if Lu Dao can hold on." ”
After a pause, he said, "It's just. If it doesn't work, my life is worthless, your palace will be implicated, the eighth prince saved me back then, and I don't want my savior to be hurt."
When Zhao Xian heard this, her eyes changed slightly, her calm eyes flashed a trace of warmth, and then she smiled faintly, "Niangniang, although the Queen Mother grasps the government and covers the sky with one hand, it is not so easy to move our Eight Princes' Mansion."
"Now Niangniang, you bring important things, leave here with me first, and I will arrange the rest for you. But, your brother, I suggest that the less he knows, the less dangerous it is. Mr. Lin here, do you need to go over and say goodbye to him in person? "Zhao Xian knows that Lin Kui is a person with a noble character and noble character.
"Niangniang, does Mr. Lin know your identity?"
"I told my father-in-law about my identity a long time ago, I believe he will keep his mouth shut, my father-in-law is very good to me, he is upright, he is lonely and self-conscious, he likes to live a quiet life, thanks to him for taking care of me for so many years, so I must say goodbye to him."
Li Yu thought that Lin Kui treated him like his own daughter, and he once wanted to serve Lin Kui like his biological father for life, but now that he was leaving him, he couldn't help but feel sad, but the temptation of seeing his son was so great, he couldn't help but think about it for a while, and his eyes turned red again.
