Chapter 114: Suffering
Cheng Zijun walked quickly through the night, and when he arrived at Chenzhi Palace, he was already sweating. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw that Zhu Yu was already waiting outside the house, and her pale little face was full of anxiety. Cheng Zijun asked worriedly: "Zhu Yu, you sent someone to call me into the palace so late, what happened?"
Zhu Yu said anxiously: "Doctor Cheng, go in and see the master." She had been sitting since the afternoon, not eating or drinking, and she would not listen to what anyone else said, as if she had suddenly become a stone. ”
When Cheng Zijun heard Zhu Yu's words, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly walked to the house. Sure enough, Mu Qing was sitting in front of the windowsill at this time, looking out of the window with blank eyes, as if he was staring at a certain place, as if he hadn't seen anything, his cold face was expressionless, like a lifeless walking corpse, and his appearance was very scary.
Cheng Zijun walked beside Mu Qing and whispered a few words, but sure enough, he sank into the sea and did not respond. Cheng Zijun walked back to Zhu Yu's side and asked in a low voice, "Where has your master been today?" Have you seen anyone? ”
"Today, I accompanied my master to the Imperial Garden for a while, and I happened to meet the eldest prince on the way, and then the master became what he is now."
Liang Xi? Shen Hao's son?! Cheng Zijun's heart suddenly shrank, and an ominous premonition hit her heart, and she continued to ask: "When you met the eldest prince, did anything strange happen?" ”
Zhu Yu lost the strange stone for Liang Xi, and later how they found the stone for Liang Xi and carefully told Cheng Zijun about it. When Cheng Zijun heard this, she had a little clue, she thought that Mu Qing's abnormal behavior now must be related to Liang Xi and Shen Zhen. So she comforted Zhu Yu softly and said, "You go down first." I'll talk to Yan'er. ”
Zhu Yu knew that she couldn't help here, so she obediently retreated and closed the door, leaving only Cheng Zijun and Mu Qing in the house. Cheng Zijun quietly walked to Mu Qing and sat down, she was not in a hurry to ask Mu Qing again, but talked about something else casually. "It's dark, and the dark nights of winter are always very cold and long, but fortunately, the sun and light will always come no matter what."
"Sister Cheng, do you know why the name of the eldest prince is 'Xi'?"
Mu Qing's sudden inexplicable question caught Cheng Zijun off guard, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "Since the name is the word 'Xi', I think it represents light." Perhaps it was the emperor who hoped that the prince could bring light to the court and the country. ”
Mu Qing was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "I once heard Liang Yinhao say that the name of the eldest prince was not chosen by him, but Shen Zhen strongly requested that he choose the name of his son back then. Do you know why? ”
"I don't know... Shen Zhen is the daughter of a university scholar, and the bachelor of literature is naturally first-class, so it must be easy to choose a name. Besides, Shen Zhen usually doesn't fight for anything, but only asks for a name for her son, which is also normal. Why did you mention this all of a sudden, what's wrong with you? ”
"Liangxi, Xi....Sunshine...."Mu Qing suddenly sobbed in a low voice, tears rolling down like beads. Mu Qing recalled that when she was a child, her brother always liked to collect some strange things, some of which really surprised her, and some of which even she couldn't write with a wry smile.
I remember one day, Yun Muchen got a 'treasure' out of nowhere, and he proudly and mysteriously showed it to his sister. Yun Changyan was also very curious, but when she saw her brother take out a stone from an extremely delicate box, she was instantly deflated. The stone is about an egg, and when she looks left and right, it is just an ordinary stone, and there is nothing special about it.
Yun Muchen was very unwilling to see his sister's reaction, so he patiently explained: "Changyan, don't underestimate this stone, it's not an ordinary stone, it's a natural jade inside, but it's wrapped in a stone, so you can't see it." ”
Yun Changyan heard her brother say this, and she was a little interested, and she asked curiously: "Then you quickly chisel the stone outside!" It also opened my eyes. ”
"That's not going to work." Yun Muchen immediately refused, "The jade inside is rare to see in a hundred years, if you chisel it casually, what if you break the jade inside?" ”
Yun Changyan was unconvinced: "Cut, how do you know if there is really jade in it if you don't chisel it?" Maybe you have been deceived by someone else, but in fact, it is just an ordinary broken stone! ”
Yun Muchen didn't care, still holding his baby, looking at it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. "It's precious, and how can a little girl like you understand."
Mu Qing said disdainfully: "How precious can it be?" Could it be more precious than the heirloom jade pendant that your father gave you?! ”
"Not really! I'll leave this stone to my son in the future!"
Yun Muchen's smug tone caused Changyan to laugh for a while, she grabbed her brother's cuffs and laughed: "Haha, you just blow nonsense!" If Daddy knew that you were going to pass this broken stone to my little nephew in the future, he would definitely be angry with you! ”
The laughter and laughter in the memories are like in the ears, and the sound and smile of the people are also vivid, Mu Qing is full of guilt in her heart, she has never found out, she cried even more sadly, and muttered intermittently: "Xi....sunshine....Mu Chen's sunshine..."
Cheng Zijun couldn't help but panic when she saw Mu Qing crying so painfully, but she heard Mu Qing's last words clearly. The morning sun....Mu Chen, Liang Xi, the names of the two are inextricably linked, they have not realized this before, can it be ......"
Cheng Zijun was suddenly frightened by her thoughts, she looked at Mu Qing in horror, her lips trembled and asked, "Could it be that Xi'er is....is your brother's child?!" ”
"Liang Xi's birthday is the first month, and Shen Zhen married into the East Palace in April, which means that Liang Xi is a premature baby who is less than a month old. However, if....if Shen Hao was pregnant with this child while my brother was alive, then the time for him to speak out should also be in the first month. ”
Cheng Zijun asked in disbelief: "That means that when something happened to your Yun family, Shen Zhen already knew that she was pregnant with Liujia?!" ”
"Sister Shen herself knows that once her pregnancy is discovered by Scholar Shen, her father will definitely let herself beat the child, and his Shen family must not give birth to a descendant of a 'rebellious person'. So....that's why she was in a hurry to marry Liang Yinhao when her brother passed away only a month ago, because she knew that she couldn't hide this matter if she delayed it any longer, and she wanted to keep the last bit of blood of my Yun family! Mu Qing didn't know how he said this, he only felt that his heart was like a knife, his internal organs were convulsed, and an indescribable pain rolled up from the depths of his body. The pain, like the softest and most fragile place in the body, was inserted into a sharp blade. Mu Qing was almost silent, covering his face with his hands, and his palms were already a piece of ****. She remorseed, "I was... I misunderstood that she was greedy for glory and wealth, and I hated her! (To be continued.) )
