The night is dark and the wind is high, the glass-inlaid partition squeaks slightly, and in the blue gauze cabinet, the begonia pattern carved moon hole shelf bed, the apricot yellow embroidered cordyceps pattern curtain hangs, and a pair of mutton fat jade lotus pattern sachets hanging on the curtain slowly swing with the wind that does not exist zài.

The little girl on the bed was wrapped in a brocade quilt, revealing a blushing little face, her eyes were closed, and her faint eyebrows were tangled.

The mottled and glittering fragments gather together to reveal a scene from a long time ago......

In the warm skylight, the imperial grandmother who was dressed in pearlescent cedars smiled lovingly, bent down slightly, and stretched out her hand to her, which reflected a pale yellow light, reminding people of sweet fruit cheese, "Ah Quan, I will move to Cining Palace to live with the imperial grandmother in the future, and we will depend on each other." ”

The little girl tried to tilt her head, and saw the green silk exposed under the phoenix crown of the Dianhua Orb shining with starry silver light, and nodded heavily with tears in her eyes, and the gold thread on the cuffs of the big cedar was a little painful on the back of her hand, but she did not let go, but tightened her short and delicate fingers.

……

"Ah Quan," the imperial grandmother leaned on the big pillow of the beauty couch in a jade-colored summer dress, held her hand and said, "You will marry Ke Xuan, listen to what grandmother said, it is better for men to be naïve." ”

The slim girl leaned her head into her grandmother's arms, and only a long sigh was heard overhead.

……

On the night of late autumn, the night was slightly cool, the imperial grandmother took the long dowry list in the hands of the palace maid and checked them one by one, and said to her with a smile, "Ah Quan, these things that grandmother has prepared for you are the best, in the future, you will be a little daughter-in-law, you must be filial to your mother-in-law, respect your eldest sister-in-law, don't interfere in the affairs of the house, and then have your grandmother and your cousin to support you, no one dares to bully you, you and Ke Xuan will be a comfortable and idle couple, and grandmother will rest assured." ”

The dignified and demure girl sat on the small pestle opposite, tilting her head slightly, her face flushed.

……

"Ah Quan, grandmother wants to keep you safe and happy for the rest of your life."

"Ah Quan, don't be afraid, there is a grandmother for everything."

"Ah Quan, ......"

"Ah Quan, ......"

"Ah Quan ......"

Xiusun still remembers that the last time she met the imperial grandmother in her previous life was at her grandmother's birthday banquet, and that night also happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet.

Then he was called out by a palace maid, and he never returned.

Birthday has become a memorial day for the only granddaughter, how sad the imperial grandmother should be.

However, the imperial grandmother will never grieve again.

The queen mother died of an emergency, Xiusun felt a little unbelievable, the imperial grandmother had always had a headache, but the imperial doctor said that the imperial grandmother was very healthy, how could she suddenly die.

But the truth seems to be forever undetectable.

——I almost forgot the dividing line of Xiusun's nickname Ah Quan in her previous life——

Xiusun was lying tiredly on the Luohan bed, holding a fan with a bamboo handle of the Xiangfei in her hand, and the fan pendant of the parrot green compound wing chime knot tassel was scattered on the back of her hand at will.

The sash of the Ruyi flowing water pattern is wide open, and the bright sky light outside the window illuminates the colorful flowers under the corridor with a layer of pink and golden light.

The gauze drawer filtered out some of the harsh sunlight, but it was not very useful, so Xiusun had to lie down on the large pillow, hiding her head in the gap between the bed and the windowsill.

She tilted her head and looked at the little magpie sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, and she was happily playing with the velvet thread.

The bright red velvet thread was wound between the short fingers, and in the bright sun, the fat fingers were more and more lined like jade.

The red rope winds and winds, one moment into the shape of an acacia flower, and the next into the shape of a dill.

The rainy season, which had lasted for a whole month, finally passed, and then the scorching weather began like a fire.

Because of the hot weather, Nguyen was worried that Xiusun would catch a cold again, so he only ordered someone to put the ice in the farthest corner, and ordered someone to open the partition door for ventilation, and did not arrange for the maid to fan it. Worried that Xiusun was afraid of heat, he took out a pair of pearl mats from the dowry for Xiusun to use.

Xiusun's small thin nails gently picked at the pearl mat under her, feeling the warm and soft touch of the small pearls, and her heart was infinitely emotional.

When she went down the mountain that day, a family member came to report that the Queen Mother was driving, Xiusun didn't catch her breath, her eyes were dark, and she fainted, if it wasn't for the little magpie to hug her in time, she might have rolled down the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain.

Then he was seriously ill for nearly two months, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the whole person was also in a trance, not very conscious.

The family thought that Xiusun was weak and frightened on the mountain, especially the old lady was very remorseful, she had returned in a high-profile mood of schadenfreude, but unexpectedly almost broke her only granddaughter.

When Xiusun was sick for a few days, the old lady was locked in the Buddhist hall and did not come out, praying day and night, and even vowed that as long as her granddaughter was safe and sound, she would live for ten years.

When Xiusun found out later, she was so sad that she cried out, she was sorry for the old lady's kindness.

Ruan's was even more undressed and took care of her, and the skin that could be broken by blowing was actually sallow and dull.

Knowing this, Xiusun couldn't be depressed any longer, and struggled to get up and drink the soup that Ruan Shi fed to her mouth, she wanted to live, even for the sake of her grandmother and mother, she had to try to live.

The family only thought that Xiusun was sick once, and over and over again, only Xiusun herself knew that she was sick twice.

That day, the queen mother drove, she was sick, during the whole national funeral, it seemed that she could always hear the voice of the imperial grandmother, a month later, she finally sobered up, but listened to the maids and mothers-in-law discussed, the Ke family in the Liangguo Mansion, collaborating with the enemy and treason, was raided and destroyed.

- I don't want Xiusun to be sick all the time, so let her be sick enough at one time -

Collaborating with the enemy and treason, what a familiar and familiar charge. Whoever loves to believe believes it, Xiusun doesn't believe it anyway.

Just after the state funeral, the emperor couldn't bear it, or rather, he had endured it for a long time, and he finally didn't need to endure it anymore

The emperor ascended the throne for 31 years, and the kindness of recognizing the queen mother as his mother and being crowned the prince as a concubine has worn out little by little in the past 31 years.

According to the queen mother's will, he married the queen, according to the queen mother's will, the queen mother relied on the queen mother for major military affairs, and the emperor, who regarded this qiē as a great gift, gradually lost his original intention little by little.

Yes, being in the supreme position, this qiē should have been decided by him, and his own mother may not be able to endure it for so long.

As the leading cronies of the Queen Mother's faction, the Liangguo Mansion was naturally used to sacrifice the flag.

Because of the treason of the enemy, the Duke of Liangguo Ke Lu and the prince Ke Ting were beheaded in front of the battle, and the secret music was transmitted back to the capital together with the evidence, the emperor was furious, and issued a condemnation edict on the same day, directly bypassing the Dali Temple. Everyone in the capital didn't have time to react, shouting grievances and pleading, and they didn't even have time to write a recital.

The Liangguo Mansion lives in the capital, and is accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of the noble gate, and he also knows the one above very well, knowing that there is no room for turning, so he no longer entangles and decisively ends it to avoid humiliation.

The remaining men of the Ke family were arrested, and the second son Ke Heng, the third son Ke Cheng, and the fourth son Ke Xuan were all thrown into prison.

The female relatives of the Ke family all hanged themselves on the day of the raid, and they didn't even have time to prepare poison, so they could only hang themselves on the beams of the house with their sweat towels. Among them, the second young grandmother Wen has been in the door for less than three months, and the third young lady Ke Li will be nine years old.

And it was that night that the edict caught fire, and all the men of the Ke family were burned to death in the edict, and no one survived.

In this way, there is no longer even a living mouth to cry out for injustice, and even if they are all wronged, they are all dead.

The two aunts and grandmothers who married in the Liangguo Mansion, the eldest daughter Ke Jia, married Zhang Xian, the son of the Rongguo Prince, were sent to live in Zhuangzi on the second day of the raid, and since then they have been closed, and no one knows the recent situation.

Ke Jia has already given birth to two sons in her husband's family, and there is speculation that maybe she will stay in Zhuangzi until she dies of old age or illness, depending on the emperor's attitude.

And the second daughter Ke Min ......

I happened to go back to my parents' house on the day of the raid, and then I didn't know where to go, until seven days later, I found her body in an abandoned well in the backyard of the Liangguo Mansion.

Ke Min gave birth to a baby girl in the month of Layue the year before, and the child is now less than half a year old. Regarding Ke Min's death, there are many rumors in the market, and the most circulated version is that Ke Min's husband, Chen Xu, the eldest son of Chen Ge's hometown, killed his wife and killed his wife, and he was not on good terms with Ke's family.

The Liangguo Mansion, which was once full of flowers, was completely wiped out in just three days, and the grass was cut and eradicated.

Someone said that the matter was strange and asked the emperor to investigate it thoroughly, but he was immediately dragged down from the palace and reprimanded on the spot. What followed was a bloody bath. There are nobles, there are nobles, there are those who take the title and destroy the papers, and there are those who rob their homes and go to prison.

At this time, everyone realized that the fall of the Ke family was just the beginning.

The emperor's resolute attitude, coupled with the fact that there were no survivors in the Liangguo Mansion, the officials were silent from then on.

In stark contrast to the silence in the court, it is the gossip after tea and dinner in the market, most of which are rumored to be the son of Ke Ting who also had an illegitimate child among the people, who was sent away overnight and survived.

Xiusun smiled helplessly when she heard it, Ke Ting is a decent person, and he has a deep relationship with the wife of the prince, Cen Clan's plaice, how can he have any illegitimate children.

The Liangguo Mansion is the place where she has stayed in the palace for the longest time since she was a child, and every time she goes, she sleeps in Ke Min's house, laughs with her, quarrels with her, and sometimes even fights.

And Ke Xuan, Xiusun's eyes suddenly appeared in front of the young man who looked a little thin and shy, but he was extremely delicate and beautiful, he and Ke Min were twin sisters and brothers, even if they grew up, they were still very similar, Ke Min also pretended to be Ke Xuan and teased her, and after Ke Xuan knew about it, he was just blushing and not angry.

The imperial grandmother once said that Ke Xuan would be a good husband, he was kind, soft-hearted, but not too stupid, such a man would be good to women, even if he didn't go through any wind and rain, it didn't matter, just don't let him go through the wind and rain, the imperial grandmother is very confident in this.

And how does such a young man who has never suffered feel in his heart when he faces prison and fire, will he be afraid, will he be angry, who will he think of?

Xiusun unconsciously shed tears in her eyes, she turned over, raised the fan in her hand to cover her eyes, took a deep breath, the hot and dry air filled her chest, and her body hiding in the shadows seemed to be warmer.

At that time, she was reborn in this body, and what supported her to live in a mess was just the important people in this world, the imperial grandmother, Ke Min Ke Xuan, they are still in this world, still under this blue sky, and they are still breathing the same air with her.

When they all left suddenly, Xiusun seemed to have lost the strength to live and collapsed.

And when she saw the old lady and Ruan again, Xiusun suddenly felt guilty in her heart, yes, aren't they her relatives? Didn't they mean it to her? If she went, wouldn't they be sad?

People, after all, are still eager to survive, after all, they are still afraid of death, as long as there is a slight opportunity, they will always find a qiē condition, a qiē excuse to live......

"Seventh Sister!" The voice of the little girl like a silver bell rang out of the window, and a small hairy head emerged from the window, like a little sun rising from the mountain col, shattering the gloom of the world.

Xiusun took away the fan on her face, and saw that Xiuqian was lying on the windowsill, and she didn't have to think about it to know that there was a nurse behind her.

The little girl combed two bags of hair, and there were two chubby beads in her hair, and she smiled like a Wuxi mud doll, she smiled, "Seventh sister, are you in good health?" Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, so let's celebrate my grandmother's birthday together. ”

Xiusun also unconsciously pulled out a big smile, "Well," she nodded vigorously, "It's all right, let's celebrate Grandmother's birthday together." ”
