Chapter 8: A Moonlit Night

On a sunny afternoon, the private school courtyard is full of light jasmine flowers, and the fragrance is refreshing. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info Zige hid under the stairs and listened attentively to the lecture in the room.

"The war of the countries in Zhongzhou is long, and the beacon fire is not peaceful and eventful. Emperor Gao's Yang set the world, and a wisp of fragrant soul was endlessly sad. ”

She turned around and saw a young man holding a scroll under the flower tree, reading poetry aloud in a peculiar tone.

"Who are you?"

The boy turned his head with a mysterious smile on his handsome face. He put his finger to his lips and whispered, "Shh...... Don't let anyone find me. ”

For some reason, whenever this teenager appeared, Zige knew that she must be in a dream. This memory has always been difficult for her to distinguish between true and false, and she once asked the scholar that there was no such teenager in the private school. Apart from this peculiar poem, he left no evidence of his existence. But Zige always felt that sometimes she had passed by him many times on the street corners, inadvertently, but every time she looked back in surprise, she never really saw the shadow of this person.

"Ge'er...... Let's go, never set foot in Kyoto again in this life! ”

The scene suddenly changed in front of him, and the fierce officers and soldiers pushed a woman to the ground, her sideburns were disheveled, but she still did not lose her grace, and she knelt stubbornly.

In the dream of "Mother ......", she cried heartbreakingly, but she was held tightly and couldn't move.

"The Yang family is treasonous, and the traitor should be punished!"

A knife fell from one person's hand, and blood gushed out, and the eerie red blurred blurred her vision.

"Mother!"

Zige woke up suddenly. The pillow was empty, her right wrist tingled like a heat, and the round birthmark seemed to be slightly red in the night. She found that she was covered in cold sweat, and it was difficult to sleep, so she simply put on her coat and went to sit in the court.

The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard are blooming, the night breeze is diffused with a faint fragrance, the moonlight is bright under the courtyard, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

This birthmark on his hand has been there since birth. It's just that on his birthday when he was ten years old, Zige ran away in a bad mood, and met a crazy alien woman on the street, and the birthmark turned red since that day. Recently, for some reason, she always has some strange dreams, and the details in the dreams are very real, and after waking up from the dream, the birthmark will always sting faintly.

"Ge'er, my mother is a fugitive from an unjust case in the capital, and I desperately saved you from leaving Beijing together."

"Mother's life has never been peaceful. Mother doesn't want you to follow in my footsteps. ”

"The old things of the past are the misfortune of my mother's generation. Mother only hopes that you can be safe and happy, and have a good life. ”

My mother was always reluctant to mention the previous things, and whenever she thought about it, she was always sad, so Zige obediently stopped mentioning it. But as she grew older, her curiosity about the mystery of her origins grew.

Who is your biological father? What is the so-called unjust case? How did my mother escape? Why are these dreams so real?

All kinds of doubts are hard to describe. Zige thought about it left and right, but he couldn't figure it out, so it was difficult to sleep recently.

She was silently distracted, and there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, it was her mother who came with a candle.

"I had nightmares at night and couldn't sleep, so I came out and sat down." Seeing that her face was like gold paper, Zige coughed softly, and felt distressed, "Why are you awake?" ”

"My sleep is already shallow, so it's fine." She came to Zige and sat down, "Have something on your mind lately?" ”

"Hmm...... Recently, I seem to remember what happened in Jingzhong in the past, and I always have some strange dreams, there is a fire in the dream, and there is a woman screaming and calling my name......" Zige shook his head slightly, "Mother, this is all my imagination, right?" ”

The mother looked at her in a daze, and after a while, she said slowly: "You...... Dreaming of Sister Lin Lan? ”

"In my dream, there was a woman who was killed by officers and soldiers in the street, but she kept calling my name." Zige found that her mother's face became pale little by little.

"Sister, she...... After all, she resents me for taking her place. Over the years, he has refused to even see me in his dreams. The mother smiled sadly, "Lin Lan is ...... Your birth mother. ”

"Ge'er...... Let's go, never set foot in Kyoto again in this life! ”

The poignant female voice is still in my ears, and I cried and screamed heartbreakingly in my dreams, but I didn't expect that this was true. Zige sat on the stone chair as if struck by lightning. The mother who has raised herself all these years is not her biological mother.

"The Yang family supported the Gao family to ascend the throne and made immortal achievements, and they were all famous all over the world. Your father Yang Yuxuan was a general who was famous in the five countries of Beizhou, and he was like a god in his soldiers, and he was upright and upright, and he was deeply supported by the army and the people. The mother closed her eyes painfully, and two lines of tears flowed down, "You have a detached personality when you were a child, and you love to dance knives and guns, like your father, and your appearance is beautiful and moving, and Beijing praises you for having the style of Queen Yang." ”

Yang Yuxuan, Yang Xinyue...... These two thunderous names made Zige dumbfounded. Even if she had never read history books, she had heard the embarrassing Yang family case from the mouth of Lefang Yake, but she never thought that this was the disaster of her family.

"Why did the Yang family suffer such a catastrophe?" Zige couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know the Nanzhao Mu clan?"

Zige nodded. Nanzhao Mu is the monarch of Nanzhou, rumored to be a descendant of the ancient Wu clan, with wonderful spells, but in recent years, for some reason, the national strength has declined, so he can only send envoys to come to make peace with him, in order to seek the protection of the Qi Dynasty.

"Nanzhao Mu has a mirror of enlightenment, which can judge the things of the past and the present. Before it was lost, there was a prophecy. The mother looked at Zige fixedly and said, "In the five-year period, the Mid-Autumn Festival will descend to the girl, and the world can be prosperous and the world can die." ”

The world can be prosperous, but the world can be destroyed!

Zige inexplicably recalled that the crazy woman in purple she met when she was a child once said to herself, "The moon rises in the mountains, and the world changes hands". Now that I think about it, the two proverbs seem to complement each other.

"This five-year period refers to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourth year of Yangming, which is also the day you were born." The mother looked at her with a solemn expression, "Such a woman came to the country, and the saint is very happy." But later, your father rejected the Fang family's proposal and was unwilling to marry you to the prince, which annoyed the other faction of the court and made the monarch jealous. ”

"Jun En is the most unpredictable, if the king wants his ministers to die, then the ministers have to die. A piece of paper is an edict, and the door is overturned. Back then, your biological mother fought to the death, and she had to protect you. If you weren't young, I wouldn't want to abandon my sister and live alone......"

Suddenly, the mother burst out into a violent cough, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her thin shoulders trembled. When she finally regained her breath, Zige found that there was faint blood on the handkerchief.

"I'm not your birth mother, if you don't want to, you can call me aunt." The mother said softly.

"Mother...... If it weren't for your life-saving grace back then, how could Ge'er be where it is today. Zige knelt in front of her and said gently, "Over the years, your teachings have been kept in mind, and you will be cautious in your words and deeds, so that there will be a peaceful day." I know my mother is all for my good. ”

"Ge'er, I only hope that you can cherish your mother's life and choose the next path. Sister Lan doesn't want you to get into danger again, and I ......" The mother sighed, looked at her, and stopped talking.

The moonlight shines on the jade hall. The moonlight is bright, but it is difficult for people's hearts to be like this.
