Chapter 30: Father and Son
The one living in the house deep in Muta Lane is the fifth prince of the year, Mu Xuan.
It's been almost seventeen years since the beginning of the confinement.
Seventeen years ago, he was twenty-seven years old and in his prime. Now he has just passed the age of not being confused, but he has already given birth to Huafa.
I had never seen that kid myself.
Compared with his daughter-in-law, compared to his eldest son, that child didn't even give a name. However, compared to the miserable death of the child he loved, this child is also lucky.
He must be sixteen years old.
It is said that she wants to marry, and she is a peasant village woman.
If his father was not dead and he was not imprisoned, if he had grown up by his side since he was a child, if Ji Niang could enter the palace as a side concubine, even if it was a concubine, he would not have fallen to the point of marrying a village woman, and the emperor would not be the emperor and the people.
But he managed to save his life.
I don't know who that kid looks like.
Is it like yourself, or like a girl.
That's it, let him live there as he should, let Shao Ze serve until he succeeds, and then see if he can meet, otherwise, except for a few henchmen, the henchmen who can bring this secret to the grave, no one knows that in this world, there is still a drop of his own blood.
The air was quiet.
Mu Shao said the last word, and quietly swallowed his saliva, but his throat was already dry, he endured a cough and breathed softly.
Before he could speak, the old man spoke first:
"How did you find the little master?"
Shao Ze coughed slightly and replied: "Actually, since Mrs. Ji ran away angrily, the master has been sending people to chase Mrs. Ji. Because the incense used by Mrs. Ji is not a product of our dynasty, the smell is very special, so among the people who are pursuing, there are secret guards who have been specially trained to smell and know people. He looked up at the little master, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but his breathing was steady and did not move, he continued: "Once, when they were resting and eating at the Guandao Post Station, and when they were about to continue southward after eating and settling the bill, several people walked in the post station, and one of them had the smell of spices that Mrs. Ji used to have. ”
Old man Ma interjected: "It's a woman? ”
"I don't know, the people who came in were all dressed as men. Our people didn't get anxious when they smelled it, and continued to sit down and see where they came from. Mu Shao paused: "I don't know if it was our people who were exposed, or if they were alert when they found something, they suddenly got up and left before they finished a cup of tea." ”
"Our men followed, but they were nowhere to be seen."
"Fortunately, the secret guard caught the fragrance in the air, and they chased the fragrance all the way to the border of Ruzhou."
"About the front and back, on the hill south of Ruzhou, they saw the people coming down the mountain, and they also saw that they had ...... in the grass on the hillside The Lady of the Immortals. ”
"The secret guard wanted to bury Mrs. Ji, but he didn't know the situation, so he didn't act rashly, and sent people to stay next to Mrs. Ji's body, intending to stay until night, if there was no situation, bury Mrs. Ji on the spot. As a result, in the evening, they saw that Dr. Ma had brought a few people, tools and a thin coffin up the mountain, and they withdrew. ”
"What about the little master?" The old man was unwilling.
As soon as he said goodbye, he never saw the little master again, and his promise to his wife to raise him was also forced to be interrupted.
I have been looking for so many years, from northern Xinjiang to Yumen, to Shu and then to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Hard work is nothing, sleeping in the open is nothing, and not guarding the little master to grow up is the most important thing! If he was by his side, the little master would not have been poisoned and suffered like this!
Every time the old man thought of this, he couldn't wait for a pack of medicine to poison the Xu family.
At that time, the leader was Fang Qian, the master's most powerful subordinate, and it was he who gave the order to follow Dr. Ma. He said that Mrs. Ji was pregnant when she left, and she was about to give birth, but Mrs. Ji's body was flat in the abdomen, which proved that the child had been born or that the child had died. Mu Shao looked at the little master anxiously again.
Obviously, the other party couldn't see any expression clearly in the dark, but he still subconsciously looked up.
"Doctor Ma is a group of people, watching Mrs. Ji enter the funeral and burial from a distance. Another group of people went to the nearest village to inquire about the news, and sure enough, they learned that Dr. Ma had returned to the village with a newborn baby, and after feeding the baby, he entrusted the child to a neighbor and took someone to the mountain. Fang Qian and a few others touched the neighbor's house and saw the little master on the side of the kang, because the cloth that wrapped the little master's quilt was the master's clothes......
"So you took the little master away? Such a small child, just a few hours after birth, you are not afraid of accidents on the road!? The old man stood up excitedly.
Ji Zhi stretched out his hand to grab him, and then said to Mu Shaoze, "You go on." ”
"Yes." Mu Shao lowered his head and continued: "Yes, Fang Qian ordered to take away the little master at that time, no matter what, it was the master's bloodline. In fact, they didn't leave at first, in order to confirm whether it was the little master, they waited until Dr. Ma returned to the village to look for it in a hurry, and only left overnight after confirming it. ”
"Then why did you give me to the Xu family?" He asked in a deep voice.
Why did you change your mind and give it to someone else when you took me away?
"After we received the flying pigeon from the team leader, the master was very happy, and he ordered to find you a suitable nurse, and it was then that a holy decree came." Mu Shao stopped.
At that time, the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, and he was afraid that his position would be shaken, so he had done everything he could.
First, a holy decree ordered the master to go to the audience immediately.
After the master left, another holy decree said that the master's virtue was lacking, and ordered the house to be raided and the female dependents under house arrest in a courtyard.
And then.
A pot of sake.
The princess, two side concubines, two little masters, as well as a personal maid and a female official.
There is no life left.
Mu Shao suppressed his anger and said sadly: "My master, as well as the usual staff members who can be used by the master's side, have all been beheaded by Yu Linwei on the grounds of hindering the raid of the house!" After the master was escorted back, I quietly went to see him, he said. ”
The master said, "The child should not have been born." Find someone to take care of it, and you will take care of it on the side.
The master said, you also leave quickly and go to meet Fang Qian.
The master said that it is inconvenient to contact you now, and the contact will be interrupted, and when I settle down, I will find a way to arrange someone to contact you.
The master said that since Mrs. Ji was going south, she would take the child to the south, or go directly to Ruzhou to find a family.
The master said, watch him instead of me, let him grow up well. As a last resort, don't sue him for these things. What I owe to Mrs. Ji is also indebted to this child. If he is safe and healthy, I will be satisfied.
Mu Shao's voice choked.
In the dark, one of them is motionless.
