Chapter 206 True Colors
Facing the woman he liked, Lin Xun couldn't do it for a reason. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The concubine went out of the palace again, and with the help of Lin Xun, she disguised herself as a village girl who delivered food and sneaked into Shang'an Houfu.
Is this still the peerless Chaoxiang County Lord? With white hair and dyed sideburns, a bloated body, and a dull yellow complexion, where can you still find the shadow of the past?
"Auntie." The concubine stepped forward and called softly, this caution seemed to harbor a sense of guilt.
Chaoxiang looked at the concubine with blank eyes, and after a while, Fang Huan said happily, "It's Sister Xia." Is it really Sister Xia? No wonder today it was said that a noble person came, and my aunt still thought about who was talking nonsense. I don't want to be a real nobleman. β
Listening to Chaoxiang's words about nobles, the concubine was vaguely uneasy, how could she be considered a nobleman? If the county lord's words are sarcastic, but the county lord's face is obviously genuinely happy, so why did the county lord say this?
"Look, our sister Xia is promising, Mrs. Tai famously said that our sister Xia is a well-deserved mother of the country, I can't imagine that it has really come true."
The concubine was taken aback, she looked at the county lord who was holding her hand in disbelief, how could the county lord speak indiscriminately? She's not the mother of the nation, is she?
The concubine looked at the county lord carefully, but saw that there were hidden bruises and mottles on her forehead, and there were scratches on the side of her neck. The county lord looked crazy, and he was stupid and rushed to the concubine.
The concubine shook her head and looked at the two maids standing on the side of the room, "County Lord, what's going on?" β
The two maids were not very old, and when they saw the concubine with a dark face and asked, they were so frightened that they knelt down, only that they had just been transferred to be on duty for less than three days, and they didn't know what was going on.
The concubine asked them again what about their concubines.
The little maid is also honest, and answers questions without concealment.
The concubine pretended to be stern and sent them away, and when the room was quiet, the county lord slowly recovered some of his normal expression, and his face suddenly became desolate, "Uncle thought she would never see you again." This detention is nearly two years. β
"Uncle, what's the matter? The emperor restrained you? The concubine asked anxiously, subconsciously, the encounter between the Anle Mansion and the county lord can be said to be interlocking and closely connected. In-laws are like this, often one is prosperous and one is lost, but in fact, the meaning of seeking marriage is not to maximize vital interests?
The county lord shook his head with a wry smile, "The past is like smoke, look back at this time, what is wrong, maybe no one can say what is really there, but the funny thing is that it is indeed wrong, and it is outrageously wrong." β
"No, it's the wrong bet." The concubine sneered and said unspeakable ugly things for the county lord.
"Sister Xia-" The county lord was full of surprise, she was strange that the concubine should say this, because she knew the old things? But think about it, it really shouldn't be, involving the royal family, involving the dynasty, who will tell this?
"Uncle, the matter has come to this, why cover up the past, if you can't get to the bottom of it, wouldn't this day be the sun and the moon? What's the point? β
"Sister Xia, you have to understand that the previous success was not something that could be done by one person, and today's success cannot be reversed by the power of one person. The universe is so big that we can only follow the trend. β
"Where is my uncle's power? Who is in mind? Dowager? Or the emperor? The concubine is aggressive and unrestrained, even if the county lord pleads, "Uncle and aunt are not living well, you unkempt and black-faced don't know if your subordinates don't listen to the call or someone is obstructing you, and even your unique identity as the county lord can't be suppressed?" What's more, for the sake of those nothingness, I suffered myself, and even affected the pavilion. Isn't it especially important right now? β
"Ge'erβ" At the mention of Ge'er, the county lord hid his face and cried, but the suppressed voice was only held deep in his throat, and his face, which was originally messy, was full of red and green at the moment.
The concubine didn't persuade much, how could she not know that the county lord was on the verge of collapse at the moment, and only when she spit out the depression in her heart could she find relief.
The county lord's twitching shoulders gradually calmed down, but in the end, his heart was depressed all day long, and he couldn't slip smoothly for a while and a half, and the concubine deliberately kept silent at the moment. If the atmosphere is frozen.
"Actually, my aunt had already expected this day, Sister Xia was smart, and Mrs. Rao was too much, and she also sighed at the beginning, if Sister Xia knew the original intention of the matter, she didn't know whether she would be happy or worried. But no matter what the situation is, the situation is pressing, and for us, we can't always go against the trend. β
Sure enough, it has something to do with Mrs. Tai, so you can't deny the Hyogo in the tunnel of the Anle Mansion?
"My aunt really wanted to rebel with Mrs. Tai back then? But the first emperor is his uncle's own brother! Blood is thicker than water, and the first emperor treated you well. β
The county lord's accusation of the concubine was indifferent, like a river blown by a spring breeze, with slight ripples, but there was no excessive emotion, or it had been many years, and everything that should have been put down had been put down? However, as far as the soul is concerned, it is only for a frank mind. The county lord has a clear conscience about those who have died?
"The first emperor is not as honest and selfless as he faces, you think about it, under the whole world, there is a single respect. If that honor is only to be compassionate to all sentient beings, is it possible to achieve long-term success? People are not fairies after all, their weaknesses and human nature are all fragile, and the inheritance of that blood line is actually even more vulnerable. After the royal brother ascended the throne, he privately arranged a large number of shadow guards. The so-called shadow guard is a separate governing institution, most of them are teenagers and girls between the ages of seven or eight to fifteen or sixteen, and the task is to infiltrate various prefectures and courtyards in various capacities. These shadow guards are ruthless, as long as they think that it is unfavorable to the emperor, they have the right to cut it first and then play. At that time, the people of the capital were panicked, and no one knew who was killing and poking for what purpose. "The county lord's face was gloomy, like a cloudy sunset, which was depressing. I don't know what came to mind, but the county lord couldn't say any more.
"Later, it was my aunt who found out first?"
The county lord glanced at the concubine and smiled meaningfully, "That time was really a nightmare for me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have thought it was my brother of one of my mother's mothersβ"
All that should be said has been said, the county lord's expression is still much brighter, she said, "In the past few years, I still feel that my heart is not over, and I can see you today, I understand, in fact, I just want to talk to you." β
The only thing the concubine can say is the word "take care". But it is these simple words, and how old the meaning is.
The concubine looked back at Shang'an Houfu, only to see that it restored its vicissitudes of life under the gray sky.
Isn't life the same? It's just that after many years of looking back, I can only find out.
