Chapter 403: Red Face and Troubled Water

When it is spring, it is the night breeze, and it does not feel cold when it blows on the face, but there is a kind of faint warmth, as if the light veil can't help but caress the gentle naughtiness from the face.

In Mu Shaoqin's study, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers burning in Nianfu Xinhe is obviously not enough, and the fragrance is slightly mixed and bitter, just like his mood at the moment.

Su Cheng was silent for a long time, and seeing that the noble man sitting in the right position still showed no signs of coming back to his senses, he had to remind, "Lord Wang, do you know some eyebrows?" ”

He was much more vigilant than Ouyang Kang, and as soon as he heard about Luo Xiaoyan, he immediately became keenly aware that this matter could be big or small. If Luo Xiaoyan, or that piece of jade had nothing hidden behind it, he wouldn't have been targeted so quickly.

In case Luo Xiaoyan is a child of a former courtier's family, or a relative of the emperor, it will be troublesome, so he will come over at night to consult Mu Shaoqin. He was born in a powerful family in the capital, and it is difficult to say what to know. Now it seems that he has found the right person.

Mu Shao came back to his senses diligently, his face was a little unnatural, and he paused before saying, "This piece of golden land green peony was originally my old thing. ”

Yes? Nianfu opened his mouth, that piece of green chrysanthemum jade with a yellow background is his own? Doesn't that meanβ€”

"Luo Xiaoyan is our child? That ......"

Nianfu was a little excited, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Ouyang Kang again.

But Mu Shaoqin waved his hand, "Jade is our family, but people are not." After all, that piece of jade has been lost for a long time, and the words of those few people alone can't prove anything. In the war, our family lost so many things, it was impossible to pick one and say that it was the Mu family. Moreover. At the beginning, the Mu family was arrested and put into the palace, how could there be a child living in the people? ”

Nian Fu's heart was cold, yes, Luo Xiaoyan is only a little over six years old this year, almost as old as the Liang Dynasty, if he is a member of the Mu family, who gave birth to him?

But Ouyang Kang then had a new question, "If he is not a descendant of the Mu family, then how did he get this piece of jade?" Luo Wu and several of their older children had seen that piece of jade, and it was so valuable. I think there are a lot of jadeites in this world. But it's not often that special, right? Can it be said that Luo Xiaoyan is actually related to the Mu family? ”

Mu Shaoqin nodded, "There is some truth in what you say, and I think so too." So be it. Send the boy to me at once. It's up to me to settle it. ”

Ouyang Kang hesitated. Nian Fu said, "Dad, this is not appropriate. Xiao Yan grew up with Luo Wu and them since he was a child. The feelings are very deep, and he will not get used to bringing him over suddenly. ”

Mu Shaoqin said in a rare solemn tone, "Unaccustomed or don't die, which do you think matters?" ”

Nian Fu choked, but Su Cheng was keenly aware of something from Mu Shaoqin's strange look that flashed just now, and said, "The prince is right, now just someone mentioned a piece of jade, and two people disappeared for no reason, if Luo Xiaoyan is put in the broken garden again, what if someone does something to him?" Let's listen to the prince's arrangement. ”

Mu Shaoqin bowed slightly, "Then please bother, sir, this matter must be done thoroughly, and I will send a team of guards to go back with you." ”

This...... Nian Fu and Ouyang Kang looked at each other, and they had nothing to say.

Su Cheng immediately said goodbye, and it didn't take long for him to send Luo Xiaoyan on the grounds of illness.

The little boy faced all this silently and apprehensively, at a loss, Mu Shaoqin gently stretched out his hand to him, "Child, don't be afraid, come here." ”

Luo Xiaoyan walked forward slowly, until Mu Shaoqin reached out and stroked his little face and groped his facial features.

After a long time, Mu Shaoqin patted the little boy's head lovingly, "It's okay, go play with your sister Nianfu." ”

Luo Xiaoyan smiled reassuringly, patted his hand sensibly, and then walked to Nianfu's side.

It was getting late, and Nianfu couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, so he took Luo Xiaoyan back to his small courtyard to settle down, and specially called Wangcai to accompany him.

It was night, Nianfu didn't sleep well, he always felt that his father had something to say, but Mu Shaoqin didn't sleep all night.

At dawn the next day, he came to his daughter, as if he had made a decision. But standing in front of the courtyard gate, he heard the innocent laughter of the little boy and Wangcai playing, and he hesitated again.

"Daddy." Nianfu, whose hair was only half combed, couldn't help it, pulled Mu Shaoqin in, asked everyone to go out, and closed the door to talk to him.

"What the hell do you know? What are you struggling with? No matter who Luo Xiaoyan is, I'm always your biological daughter, right? Is there anything you can't tell me that you have to carry on your own? Don't blame my daughter for saying something unpleasant, if something really happens, can she still run away from me? ”

Mu Shaoqin was speechless, and sighed heavily for a long time, "Dad really doesn't know what to do about this matter." Luo Xiaoyan, he ...... Alas! ”

Nianfu was anxious, "Please, Dad, just say it quickly, even if he is a monster, I will admit it, okay?" ”

If he had become a monster, Mu Shaoqin would not have been so worried. After being embarrassed for a long time, he made up his mind to speak, "Do you know how many people are buried in the Mujia Cemetery on the outskirts of the city?" ”

Know. As a descendant of the Mu family, the first thing Nianfu did after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors was to pay homage to the ancestors of the Mu family and remember that painful history.

"Three hundred and eighty-nine. This is not counting the loyal servants who died with the Mu family, if you want to add them, it should be thousands. ”

Mu Shaoqin lowered his eyes, revealing a hint of gloom, "But among these three hundred and eighty-nine people, there is only one missing." ”

Nianfu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Dad is talking about ......"

That Miss Mu San who brought disaster to the country and the people and overturned the world?

Mu Shaoqin looked at the unknown distance with some annoyance, his voice was low and sad, "The world says that our Mu daughter is a red face and a disaster, but your third sister is really a very good person." You don't know, the night before she entered the palace, she personally found her mother and asked for a bowl of Juezi soup. ”

Nianfu's face turned slightly pale, Jezi soup?

"That day, because I was young, I hid behind the screen and no one noticed, so I watched with my own eyes...... Mother is crying, sister-in-law is crying, but your third sister, she smiled and drank the bowl of soup, and said. It's not bitter at all......"

Mu Shaoqin, who was trapped in the memory, had tears hidden in the corners of his eyes, and Nianfu's eyes were also red.

A girl, at the age of the flower season, cut off all the possibilities of being a mother with her own hands. If she is a disaster, then what is the person who forced her into the palace?

Seeing that her father still remembers that scene clearly after so many years, it shows the pain at that time.

Mu Shaoqin gritted his teeth and continued with resentment, "When Emperor Zhou Cheng welcomed her into the palace, she was already a grandfather. But your third sister. She's only sixteen. She was by Emperor Zhou Cheng's side for seven years, and the emperor died. At that time, according to the rules of the palace, concubines who had no heirs were either martyred. Or become a monk. I was a little older. I'm starting to be sensible. knew that the family was secretly plotting to save her from the fire pit while she was buried or left home. But what no one expected was. The new emperor, the new emperor actually announced her directly! ”

With a long exhalation and a sullen breath in his chest, Mu Shaoqin could continue, "You have followed Zhao Shanggong to learn the rules these days, have you ever heard of a king in history who was scared to death because he killed his eldest son, but was replaced by his second son?" ”

Nian Fu's eyes widened, of course she knew! This is so famous, that king still usurped his own concubine, and gave birth to the eldest son. Could it be that the third lady of the Mu family also suffered the same tragedy?

Mu Shaoqin evoked a heavy mockery, "The successor Emperor Xuan of Zhou is a short-lived ghost, who has only been on the throne for a year and three months, and he has made the heavens angry and resentful, and finally died violently, allowing Emperor Wai to succeed him." However, before he died, he did the worst thing, that is, he ordered and forced our Mu family to fight against the enemy, and later arrested our whole family in the palace! ”

He slammed the table down, making a dull noise, which shocked Nianfu a little.

"At that time, it was your third sister who spread the news from the palace, and I and a few children of the Mu family were able to escape. But it wasn't until I was then arrested in the palace that I found out that I knew ......"

Mu Shaoqin couldn't go on, and Nianfu didn't dare to ask any more. The result was so terrible that she couldn't imagine how a woman could endure all this.

Mu Shaoqin waited for himself to calm down a little before he said, "Your third sister was born in September when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and her nickname is Ah Ju. The golden green peony was originally a birthday gift from others, I was young, but when I saw that she liked it, I gave it to her. I just don't know that the third sister has always cherished it with her. Later, I was seriously ill in the palace several times and almost couldn't survive, but Shaoqin sent me medicine from the hospital. In that medicine, there is always a small packet of chrysanthemum rock candy. ”

Nianfu covered his mouth tightly, but tears fell silently.

She seems to see the poignant figure of a weak woman struggling to survive in the sinister and dirty court, she endures humiliation and burdens like that, in fact, she just wants to earn a life for her family, right?

Two lines of tears also slipped from the corners of Mu Shaoqin's eyes, and there was a choked voice in his voice, "But after the world is settled, I can't erect a monument for her, and even in the Mu Family Cemetery, I can't even set up a tomb for her!" ”

"Then she ......"

Nianfu suddenly gave birth to a glimmer of hope, but Mu Shaoqin's subsequent words ruthlessly cut off her thoughts, "She's dead." After Emperor Wai ordered the dove to kill our whole family, many palace people saw that she had taken poison herself, rowed to the middle of the lake in a small boat, detonated the explosives, and the bones were gone. ”

Nianfu turned his head sadly, and couldn't hold back his soft sobs anymore.

Such a wise woman must know what kind of unfair treatment she will suffer after death, so she will use this decisive way to annihilate in this world.

But Luo Xiaoyan, how could Luo Xiaoyan have that piece of jade?

Mu Shaoqin didn't know, it stands to reason that Miss Mu San would never have a child, so whose child is he? And how could he take her jade with him?

But Mu Shaoqin can be sure of one thing, "If what Luo Wu's children saw was correct, then Luo Xiaoyan should be the children in the palace." ”

Nianfu suddenly changed color, the child in the former palace, what does this mean?

Mu Shaoqin hesitated, but still told her daughter gently, "Ah Ju used to be very good at recognizing tastes, and her mother used to laugh at her, obviously she was a daughter, but she had an emperor's tongue. ”

That...... Nianfu was also dumbfounded.
