Chapter 115: The Cowardly Side
Since the morning when Yu Jinjiao woke up, Xiao Qian had not appeared since he left the Reflecting Moon Pavilion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing the news of Xiao Qian's sudden illness, Yu Jinjiao knew that he had inquired from Gu Miaoling about the reason why the emperor assassinated her father, and this reason was very likely to involve him, so he couldn't face it for a while, couldn't bear it, or didn't dare to face her.
After a few days of medical treatment and recuperation, Yu Jinjiao's injuries have improved a lot, and her body is slowly recovering, and with the help of the maid, she can get out of bed and walk around gently.
"Sister, what's wrong with Brother Xiao? I went to see him, why did he ignore me? Yu Jinxiu leaned on the edge of the bed and asked the person on the bed with a depressed face.
In the past, every time she went to find Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao would talk and play with her, but in the past few days, Brother Xiao has not said a word to her except for drinking and drinking, as if he didn't see her at all.
Yu Jinjiao raised her hand and pinched her cheek, and said with a reluctant smile: "Your brother Xiao has been sick for the past few days, and he is in a bad mood, so he doesn't talk and have fun with you." Don't go to your brother Xiao these days, let him have a good rest. ”
"Okay then." Yu Jinxiu pouted unhappily, but still obediently agreed.
At this time, Wen Qing walked in and said, "Miss, Yun Shao is here and is waiting in the main hall." ”
The palace has been closed for many days, and Yu Jinjiao is very curious about how Yunyi came in, but after thinking about it, she guessed that if nothing else, it should be over the wall to come in.
She was about to ask Wen Qing to help her up, but she saw that Yun Yi had already lifted the curtain and walked in, saying, "If you have a wound on your body, don't get up, lest you tear the wound." ”
Seeing that Jinxiu, Wenqing and Qingqing were all in the room, Yu Jinjiao no longer insisted, and lay on the bed and talked to him: "Why are you here now?" Is the palace allowed to enter and exit? ”
Yunyi took the tea brought by Qingqing, shook his head and said, "No, I came in over the wall." Then he asked, "What about Ah Gan, what's the matter with him?" Why did you suddenly get sick? What the hell is going on? ”
Yu Jinjiao's eyes flickered slightly, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for three or four days." ”
"What?" Yun Yi frowned suddenly, and complained: "You mean that Ah Qian has not asked you for the past few days?" You're badly injured, how can he do this to you? ”
Yu Jinxiu, who was playing with a cloth ball on the side, couldn't help but interject: "Brother Xiao also ignored me, doesn't he like me and my sister anymore?" ”
Yun Yi realized that the situation was serious, and immediately put down the tea that he had only drunk two sips, got up and walked out: "I'll go see him." ”
Yu Jinjiao didn't stop him, and when she saw that Yu Jinxiu was about to follow, she hurriedly said, "Jinxiu, your Brother Yun and Brother Xiao have something to discuss, don't go and make trouble." As he spoke, he instructed Wen Qing to pull her back.
When Yun Yi came to Qiankun Pavilion, he felt that it was cold inside. It was a feeling he was all too familiar with, just like the feeling that home gave him after his mother's death, except for the cold, it was dark.
His heart was suddenly filled with dullness and depression, and he felt a faint pain, his hand unconsciously grasped the placket of his chest, and his face turned slightly pale.
He walked into Xiao Gan's room and saw that Xiao Qian was resting on the bed, and the room was filled with the smell of wine and medicine.
"Ah Gan." He went to the bed and called softly, wondering if the person in the bed was asleep.
Xiao Qian, who was so dizzy that he seemed to be in a dream, vaguely heard someone calling him, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that he was coming, so he sat up from the bed with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You came from Yingyue Pavilion?" How's Jinjiao? ”
Hearing him mention Yu Jinjiao, Yun Yi wanted to say a few words for Yu Jinjiao, but seeing that he was much thinner and more decadent than the last time he saw him, he finally couldn't bear to hit him again, sighed, and said: "Jinjiao is okay, she has recovered well from her injury, but you haven't seen her for a few days, which makes me a little sad." ”
Xiao Qian didn't speak again, leaning on the head of the bed and staring at the front of nothingness.
"Ah Gan, what's wrong with you? You've never been like this before, what the hell happened? In Yunyi's memory, this dear friend of his has always been strong and tenacious, and it seems that no difficulties and setbacks can defeat him.
Even if the first emperor did not pass the throne to Ah Gan four years ago, which disappointed Ah Gan's biggest dream, Ah Gan did not collapse because of this, and he still did what he should do. Although I feel uncomfortable, I can't see anything on the surface. However, this time it was so unusual for some reason.
Yun Yi saw that he had been silent, frowned and thought for a while, and said tentatively: "You have refused to go to see Jinjiao these days, have you found out the reason why the emperor killed the Jade Marquis, and you dare not tell Jinjiao the truth?" ”
Xiao Qian did not respond.
"That's true." Yun Yi knew from his reaction that his guess was right, and continued: "I guess this matter not only involves the emperor, I'm afraid the queen mother is also involved, you don't know what to do, so you choose to escape." Ah Gan, I didn't know that you still had such a cowardly side, you knew that they were going to kill Jinjiao, but you didn't take any action, do you know, you are conniving at them to hurt Jinjiao. ”
Xiao Qian looked up at the tent curtain above, and said quietly: "Yunyi, you know, when I was two years old, my mother had that incident, I was abused and neglected, it was the queen mother who raised me by her side regardless of the rumors and taught me carefully, if there was no queen mother, I might not have lived today, how can you let me do to the emperor to the queen mother?" ”
For those old secrets, having known Xiao Qian for so long, Yun Yi also knows a little about it. About 20 years ago, Agan's mother Concubine Mei Guifei was caught red-handed and met with her first lover and had intimate contact, the first emperor was furious, and immediately put Mei Guifei into the cold palace, and within two days, Mei Guifei committed suicide in fear of sin.
Because of Concubine Mei's fornication, some people began to doubt Ah Gan's life experience, saying that Ah Gan was not born to the first emperor. Therefore, Ah Gan was despised and snubbed by everyone, and the first emperor also disliked Ah Gan.
It wasn't until Ah Qian was raised by Empress Dowager Feng's side that his situation slowly improved, and with his own efforts and talents, he gradually regained the attention of the first emperor and the civil and military officials.
Thinking of this, Yun Yi didn't know what to say for a while, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Why did the emperor kill the Jade Marquis?" ”
For Yunyi, Xiao Qian felt that there was no need to hide it, on the other hand, he really needed to find someone to talk to, "Back then, the first emperor made an edict to pass the throne to me, but the emperor was unwilling and rewrote the edict of the first emperor. ”
"This ...... It's true? Yunyi couldn't believe it, for a moment, he was actually happy and happy for Ah Gan.
Did the first emperor really pass the throne to Ah Gan? In this way, the first emperor really valued Ah Gan, and it was not in vain that Ah Gan had put in so many years of hard work and efforts.
The throne has always been a knot in Ah Gan's heart, because it not only allows Ah Gan to realize his ambition of governing the country, peace and security, but also proves Ah Gan's position in the heart of the first emperor, which is what Ah Gan cares about the most.
