Chapter 30: Hiding Old Dreams in the Past
The Queen Mother sat in the middle of the courtyard, escorted by several people on the left and right, and Mama Guo, who had been with the Queen Mother all the year round, lowered her head and waited beside her, and I deliberately arranged for the Queen Mother to sit in front of the three corpses in the courtyard.
Her expression was extremely calm, but it was a deliberately suppressed emotion, revealing too much information.
Until Gong Li and Shen Yi arrived at the palace one after another.
"Let's get started." I stood up and walked over to the corpse. "Some people know the truth, but they don't want to come forward to explain, I didn't understand why this was before, until the truth was solved, I didn't understand that this was not something they could come forward with, Master Gong avoided the whole process, but sent Master Gong Li, I asked General Huo to send someone to invite Master Gong, Master Gong asked who the deceased was, and after the general situation, he inexplicably avoided it, I think it is also related to the truth."
"Who killed my father?" The son of the Shang Shu family cried so much that his eyes were blurred, and his voice was hoarse.
"Maybe it's just ignoring something that can tie this qiē together. This sentence reminded me that I had overlooked one detail at the beginning, Xiyi. I looked sideways at the Queen Mother, who was calmly waiting for an opportunity to refute me, "Who are these people in Xiyi threatening?" In addition, there are many people who are also from the West and are in my palace to the east. ”
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and she didn't speak from beginning to end.
"Do you need to ask Your Majesty to come over?" Mama Guo asked in a low voice in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother shook her head. "County Lord, please continue."
"When the first victim died, we focused on the fact that she was pregnant, and everyone was looking to see if the baby in her womb had been killed because of who she threatened." I recalled what happened after I found the first deceased, and then looked at Huo Yu.
Huo Yu understood what I meant, and continued, "The county lord once sent someone to find someone who had a relationship with the first victim, but we accidentally found one thing, the victim had no father or mother, and was not sold into Shangshu Mansion as a slave, and fortunately, the person who delivered the baby to the mother of this maid happened to be the aunt of Miss Shen Yi. ”
After the decline of the Shen family, the descendants of the Shen family are begging for a living, generations of famous doctors were scattered in troubled times, some people are still hanging pots to help the world, and Shen Yi's aunt was privately invited to deliver the baby, it happened that the delivery, the mother had dystocia, Shen Yi was ten years old at the time, and walked with his aunt, but it was Shen Yi who saved the mother and the child.
"My Shen family has been an imperial doctor for generations, and after my father's accident, Shen Yi didn't dare to neglect his schoolwork, and he wanted to find out why his father had an accident back then, so he naturally had some research on production." Shen Yi sat in the corner, hung a long curtain to avoid, and said, "That year, someone hurriedly came to invite my aunt, saying that it was to deliver a young lady from a large family, but I only remember that my aunt and I were blindfolded in the carriage until the destination. I asked my aunt about the pulse of the mother, and according to my aunt's description, I concluded that the woman must have been pregnant for a few months and had been given birth by medicine. Then a baby girl was born. ”
"After our investigation a few days ago, according to the description of Miss Shen Yi, the birthmark on the baby girl's body, and the construction of the courtyard of the house, the baby girl was indeed the first deceased this time. And the courtyard of that year was the Hubu Shangshu Mansion. A baby girl can be born in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, the life experience must not be simple, and the mother is born, it seems that she has to give birth to the child as a last resort, but the girl who was born regardless of her life back then, why do you have to get rid of her now. I sympathized with the girl's mother, but I couldn't forgive all the subsequent behavior, "It's just because the identity is different, and I am destined to make a choice." ”
Mama Guo, who was guarding the Queen Mother's side, seemed to be unable to hold her breath, she was just about to step forward, but seeing the Queen Mother lose her eyes, she had to hold back what she wanted to say back into her stomach and retreat.
"When the second deceased appeared, I suddenly felt that there was a vague connection between them. It wasn't until I learned the identity of the first deceased that I made a bold assumption that he wouldn't know about it. I paused for a moment and glanced at the three corpses on the ground, "I guess that today's murderer will do it again, if the person the murderer wants to kill today is Xiyi's Hubu Shangshu, then one qiē will be all hit." ”
Unfortunately, I came a step too late.
I looked at Mama Guo, "When the first female corpse was autopsied earlier, Master Gong Li once said that the deceased had no physical conflict with anyone before his death, and there were no traces of a fight on his body, and it was very likely that someone the deceased knew was doing it. The deceased had his back to the murderer, either the deceased had passed out when she was strangled by the neck, or knew she would die and gave up the struggle. The deceased came to Dongfu for the first time, so how could there be people he knew well in Dongfu. ”
Mama Guo lowered her head and avoided my gaze.
"The first female deceased had blood on her back that did not belong to her. It was left by the murderer, so we suspected that the murderer had been injured when he committed the first crime. And I just fought the murderer, and he is indeed very powerful, but her arm seems to be injured. Fortunately, even if General Huo arrived, the murderer probably realized that he couldn't win the two of us at the same time and ran away. However, I cut her with a dagger again. I still stared at her, and said unhurriedly, "I never used this dagger, because this was used when I committed suicide in Shao Palace, the knife edge was licked poison, even if the cut wound is not big, I will gradually lose consciousness, my body will gradually become paralyzed, and the blood will flow backwards and die." There will be no pain in dying in any way. ”
"Guo Yue." After hearing my words, the Queen Mother panicked and hurriedly looked at Mama Guo.
Mama Guo lowered her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she could see her frowning brows, and she clenched her fist in her right hand, clenching it tightly. Slowly, Mama Guo walked up to the Queen Mother and knelt down. "The slave and maid can no longer serve the mother, it is all the fault of the slave and the maid, and it is all done by the slave and the maid."
"Let Guo Yue go." The Queen Mother got up and walked in front of me, she stretched out her hand to pull me, "This palace, I am willing to atone for my sins with Mama Guo." This qiē"
"Queen Mother, Mama Guo's crime is her own business, she was a maid in Xiyi Shangshu's mansion, when the Xiyi Emperor arrives in my east, Fuyin will deliver the bodies of Guo Mama and these three victims at the same time, and the Xiyi monarch will personally interrogate her, Niangniang is my queen mother, now the truth is over, please avoid." I have to admit that when the Queen Mother chose to bear it with Mama Guo, I was already soft-hearted, "Mama Guo was not poisoned." The dagger has never been soaked in poison, I knew it was her, as early as when I sent someone to invite the Queen Mother, I ordered someone to secretly dip something on Mama Guo's cuffs, when Mama Guo killed someone for the first time, I am afraid that she had been in the deep palace for a long time, and the weapon would not fit before she would hurt herself, she was already injured, and she naturally felt that her arm was numb when she was infected with some medicinal powder. ”
The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Mama Guo, her eyes were very desperate.
"Why did you kill him?"
"Someone!" I said, "Put Mama Guo in the prison, no one is allowed to visit, the Queen Mother is not good at discipline, Qingyang Palace is under house arrest, and you are not allowed to take a step." ”
When the guards stepped forward to escort Mama Guo, Mama Guo knelt on the ground, and the two big men couldn't pull her up, until she shook off the two guards, moved to the queen mother, kowtowed, stood up and rushed to the gate, and hit the gate of the palace, and immediately bled like a torrent of blood.
Gong Li was startled, and immediately stepped forward to take a look, but after testing Mama Guo's pulse, he shook his head at me and Huo Yu. I didn't bother to pay attention to it, "Take her body down, and deal with it after the Xiyi monarch comes." ”
"Fuyin! How can you be so cold-blooded! Seeing that I gave an order like a business with an expressionless face, the Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, ran to Mama Guo's body, and hugged her with tears in her arms.
"Take care of the Queen Mother, and send her back to the palace when she has cried enough. Huo Yu, you can watch and deal with the rest. "I turned around and walked out, I really didn't feel good today, this tossing and turning, it had already cost me nearly half my life.
When the Empress Dowager Dongfuwei was only Wei Ning, she once promised someone to marry the then Jinke champion, the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu. Later, the Four Kingdoms were in turmoil, Feng was killed, Dongfu was founded, and Emperor Fu and Nancheng agreed on the marriage of Fuyin and Huangfu Xuan. Emperor Xiyi was afraid of being devoured, so he had to marry a daughter and two daughters, forcing his most trusted eldest daughter to marry Emperor Fu, Wei Ning was pregnant at the time, and after this incident, she had to give birth early and almost died, and her daughter had to stay in Shangshu Mansion as a slave maid as an illegitimate daughter. Xiyi's trip to the east, Shangshu saw the queen mother, and Guo Mama, who came to Dongfu with the queen mother, was worried about the leakage of the year, and chose to kill the ancestor in order to protect the power of the queen mother.
I was dizzy, and not long after I walked out of the palace, I was already dizzy.
He stood against the wall for a long time.
"Looks like you need someone to send you back."
I turned around and saw Huangfu Xuan standing behind me, and suddenly felt uneasy, but my subordinates really didn't have the strength, so they threw the weight of their bodies against the wall, and held on with their backs against the wall. "After this incident, the power of the Queen Mother has weakened, and the Zhaohua County Lord's family is dominant, it seems that the monarch of Nancheng thinks that I am more valuable."
"The policy marriage should be like this, because each other has the conditions that the other needs and joins hands, and there is no contradiction without feelings." He reminded me that Dongfu is now in a great drought and has no harvest, not only to raise troops and save sharp, but also to ridicule Beishao for its national strength, and although his Nancheng is strong, he is not good at marching and fighting, and if there are no strong soldiers, he is facing threats.
Policy marriage.
I can't help but look back, I can't forget the Queen Mother's desperate eyes, that heart-rending cry, that is the tragedy of the policy marriage. "I'd rather hope that some things are with some feelings, the interests are divided, the trees are scattered, and that is a woman's life."
Huangfu Xuan hesitated slightly, and shook his head with a wry smile.
I don't know the meaning of his wry smile, but I know that he wants to marry Dongfu, just for the sake of Dongfu's soldiers, Dongfu is a little in a bad situation, and he can be alone at any time. "Today's Dongfu is already my Zhaohua's final say, whether to marry you Nancheng or not is still in my decision, I can consider you, and I can also consider being stronger than Nancheng."
"And who do you want to marry?" He walked over step by step and asked tentatively, "Bei Shao?" ”
Beishao.
"If Dongfu wants to trample Beishao under his feet, in terms of the current national strength, it is absolutely impossible, joining forces with other countries is your only way out, today's four countries, only to join forces with Nancheng or Xiyi, and Xiyi is your biggest opponent Empress Dowager Wei's maiden family, will you let Empress Dowager Wei's power reborn." Huangfu Xuan stood in front of me, although I wanted to hate him, and I couldn't even say that I wanted to hate him, but it could not be denied that his words touched me a lot, and this man who had been sitting on the throne for many years understood the contradictions and conflicts of power and national strength more clearly than me after all. "Fuyin, you're such a little girl."
I heard him say I was a little girl, thought he was laughing at me, and glared at him fiercely.
"But this is not a bad thing, the battle between the imperial court, and it is rare to maintain your heart." The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile in his eyes, it was the first time in a long time that I had seen him smile so comfortably than that mask. "I won't explain the rejection of your request for help back then, but for the common interests of Dongfu and Nancheng, I hope you can put aside your prejudices, and we must join forces to deal with our common enemy."
"I'm not prejudiced against you, I never think you did anything wrong." I shook my head, but it was heavy, and the slight shaking made me lose my balance a little.
"That's resistance. Why do you resist my approach? Is it because of the marriage contract between us? Although Huangfu Xuan was tempted, he seemed to have determined, "You have someone in your heart, so you are afraid of that agreement, right?" ”
My mind is very confused, as if he was right, I began to be a little afraid of him, he looked like he didn't care about anything, but he saw everything through, I was confused in the game, but he woke me up with a word, I wanted to hide, hurriedly leaned against the wall and straightened up, wanting to continue walking away.
"The person you put in your heart, is it Yu Wenzheng?" He was behind me and asked faintly.
Yu Wenzheng.
Is it the one who puts it in my heart?
I try to forget the memories of jì, the love that was stained with blood.
It's not him, it can't be him.
No, it's still him.
Distressed.
I suddenly felt that it was difficult to even breathe.
Squatted on the ground and cried inexplicably.
"Fuyin, you" It seems that this is not what Huangfu Xuan expected, he saw that I was crying breathlessly, and he seemed to panic. "Don't cry, let people see it, and think I'm bullying you."
In the past, I didn't know how to be afraid of the eyes of the world, but after this training, it became impossible not to grow up. The obsession is too deep, I don't want to admit that I love the wrong person, and I say that I don't care anymore, but the people around me are hurt because of my biased obsession, and I don't even understand why I'm wrong, and then everyone blames me, saying that I'm wrong.
It's like Empress Dowager Wei, is she wrong, no, the former Emperor Wei didn't allow her to choose, she once desperately wanted to give birth to that daughter for her husband, even if it would become the only handle for her to hide the truth for a lifetime in the future. It's just that time has changed people, changed their original attachment and mentality, understood the trade-offs, and understood the importance. The death of her daughter, the death of her lover, and the death of the grandmother who accompanied her through the ups and downs, whether it made her give up her desire for power, no one knows, but they all understand that at this time, after all, it is not the beginning.
The person he loved at the beginning wanted to give him the best as much as he could.
After a long time, that mood naturally faded.
We felt that we were ridiculous at the beginning, but we didn't know that we are even more ridiculous now.
"Lord Yu, the Queen Mother said she wanted to see you." In the distance, the guard heard the movement and stood there, his head bowed in report.
"Got it." I snorted, reached out to wipe away my tears with my sleeve, stood up and patted the dirt off my body as if nothing had happened. "I'll come."
Huangfu Xuan was stunned in place, and suddenly felt funny.
"Some things happen when they happen, right or wrong, I don't judge the people in the story. But I was the one who experienced it myself, and no matter how much others blamed me, I didn't understand how I felt at the time, but I knew that some things should end here, and some things would never have a second time. I turned around and said silently to Huangfu Xuan, who was still half-squatting in place, "I am not the original Zhaohua County Lord. ”
I can't go down again. It's just that it can't fall again.
