Chapter 571: Wounds
"A Qing ......" The lights in the house were blown out, and in the hanging curtain, the light was dim, and the rain outside the window was squeezing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After a long time, Lan Xi thought that the people around her had fallen asleep, although she herself was open and fell into a daze in the darkness, without sleep, but the people around her breathed lightly, Lan Xi thought that he was too tired and had fallen asleep, but suddenly heard him call her name like a dream.
Lan Xi blinked and replied softly, "Huh? ”
He turned his hand holding her to interlock his fingers with her, "Today, Master Hou went to find Master for me." I said that the Jia family was sending someone to check on me......"
Lan Xi knew that he was going to tell her what was going on, his voice was very low, and it was calm, but Lan Xi listened to it with a frown, and the doubts in his heart were the same as Geng Xiwu's earlier. is good, why did the Jia family check him? Behind the Jia family is the queen, and the queen's words are about King An...... If you think about it deeper, it's the battle for the throne.
Geng Xiwu paused for a moment at this time, not knowing whether to calm down or organize the language, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "The Jia family is secretly looking for the stable woman who delivered the baby for my mother back then, and the people who served by my mother's side at that time...... Xu is darkness gave him courage, he thought that there were some unspeakable words, but it was not as difficult to say it as he imagined at this time.
Lan Xi heard this, but his eyes widened suddenly, and he sent someone to find the stable woman who delivered the baby, and the people who were serving at that time, for what? What else could it be for? Unless...... Unless the Jia family suspects that there is something wrong with Geng Xiwu's background...... But how is this possible?
The two of them were silent, and Geng Xiwu said again after a moment, "...... My mother was gone when I was less than 100 days old, and I always thought that I had died of illness. Mrs. Hou entered the door when Hou Ye Rexiao was around, because I need someone to take care of me, so there is nothing to blame. But my grandparents didn't feel at ease to leave me in her care, I was young at that time, and the Hou Ye was away all the year round, so Mother Xue accompanied me and lived in my grandparents' yard. Two years later, Hou Ye was recalled to Beijing to live for more than half a year, but he rarely came to see me......"
Lan Xi estimated the time, at that time, Geng Xiwu was more than two years old, which means that Geng Xikai and Geng Xiruo had it in that half a year.
"Master Hou treats me personally, but she is not at home all the year round, and it is nothing. It wasn't until later, when my grandfather died of illness, my eldest uncle took the title, and the marquis was knighted for his military merits, and the two rooms were separated, and I was taken back to the Jingbei Marquis Mansion. At that time, I was already old enough to remember, and when Shen was around, he treated me well, and often said something to me behind my back. At first, I didn't quite understand, so I quietly learned it to Mother Xue. When Mother Xue heard this, she just hugged me and wiped her tears, but she didn't explain a word to me. But I finally grew up day by day, and finally understood the meaning of those words, which vaguely revealed the truth about my mother's death...... She didn't die of illness, but she committed suicide by poisoning herself......"
Lan Xi's thoughts were churning in his heart. Hearing these words, as smart as her, what else can't you guess? What is it that makes a woman leave her husband behind, her newborn child, and choose to end her life? Thinking about the rules and reputation that Geng Xiwu valued most in the past, and now the Jia family inexplicably investigates the people who served the former Jingbei Hou when she gave birth and the stable woman who delivered the baby...... Lan Xi suddenly felt chills all over his body, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"I always thought that my mother was just burdened by fame, and was forced to death by those eyes and words, and it was because of these that Hou Ye didn't want to see me, and never thought about anything else. But now...... The Jia family checked me like this......" Geng Xiwu's tone lost his stability, seeping into two traces of mockery.
Lan Xi felt his hands tremble slightly, and she frowned in distress, and then held him tightly.
The ten fingers were interlocked, as if they had passed on to him an inexplicable power. Geng Xiwu was silent for a moment, no longer trembling, although his voice was hoarse, he could still speak, "When I first heard this just now, I felt like a bolt from the blue. I rushed back to the house, thinking about questioning the Hou Ye, but when I really got in front of him, he asked me what I wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask a word. There was a hint of a smile in his tone, but it was all bitter, "How do I ask?" It's to ask him, why did the Jia family check me like this? Or ask him, did my mother really betray him? Or is it to ask if I am his biological son? If these words are asked, what has become of his mother? The woman who abandoned him before he could remember and ended her life by herself was the one who gave birth to him after all. Bloodline, he can't ask, he can't do it.
So, he fled, fled in disarray. But I don't regret it.
"I shouldn't have thought about it, because if I was...... How can Master Hou tolerate me? And how can my grandparents treat me so well? But...... The people in the Hou Mansion in Jingbei have all been cleaned up, and the people who served my mother in the past are all gone, even because Mother Xue happened to be confined at home at that time, so Hou Ye allowed her to stay with me. And the Hou Ye has treated me all these years...... There has never been the slightest warmth between father and son, and this time, if it weren't for the coincidence, the saint intervened, and he was afraid that he would really cross me and give Rokuro ......"
His tone gradually lost his stability, and his tone was full of disgust and doubt about himself, but Lan Xi was full of distress when she heard it, turned over, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly. "Whatever the truth is, it's not your fault." What is the matter of the previous generation, as the younger generation, it is difficult for them to ask, and they don't know, but even if the truth is really revealed, what about the day? In the end, he is innocent and naturally innocent. "So, don't think about it so much. You just have to live your life well and as for the rest...... Just go with the flow. No matter what, I will be there for you. ”
Geng Xiwu didn't speak, but also stretched out his hands and hugged Lan Xi tightly. He used some force and tightened her, but Lan Xi didn't say anything. In the darkness, no movement could be heard, his face buried over her shoulder, a faint damp liquid soaking through her clothes......
Lan Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and the hand behind him suddenly struck again, gently patting the ......
It was late at night, and the whole capital seemed to be asleep in the night rain.
In the palace where the peak of power in the Daqing Dynasty is located, and the imperial study where the center of power is located, the lights are still on at this time. "Jiajia...... Queen, what exactly do you want to do? "Dressed in bright yellow, his body is bloated, but his face is not ruddy, and the Zhenwu Emperor, who is always a little swollen and tired, sits behind the dragon case, and his face is very unpleasant.
The voice asked, the volume was very low, I don't know if I was talking to myself, or asking someone.
But because of the silence, even if the sound was very low, it still echoed in the empty hall and could be heard clearly.
