Chapter IV: Causes
"Not here...... It's not ...... here."
Su Yingtong wandered around the attic corridor like a blind fly, but he couldn't find his way back to the courtyard, how could this attic look the same!
On the way to the hall, she was not in the mood to recognize the way, besides, this palace is as big as a labyrinth, and she is a road idiot, and it is in vain to admit it.
Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, this high eaves bush tree is beautiful in the daytime, but at night it is a ghost, but there is no family around, the house is more popular and less popular, how to look how deep and dark.
"Hey...... You! β
Finally saw a servant passing by the arch in front, Su Yingtong raised his voice, and sure enough, when he saw the man stopped there, he hurriedly ran over and saw clearly, it turned out to be the black-faced guard beside the palace mirror domain.
The reason why he is called a black-faced guard is because he has a very good-looking face that is as cold as quick-frozen dumplings, hard and tasteless, unlike his cool demon master, it is really a different vulgar stream where beauty and temperament coexist, high and high......
Well? What am I thinking?
Su Yingtong sweats!
It's a little good, but people have never looked at you!
"Ahem, that...... By the way, what do you call it? Su Yingtong came back to his senses, and just wanted to ask for directions, only to find that he didn't know the other party's name, he couldn't always be yours, how rude!
The black-faced guard seemed to be a little unable to react, and after a pause, he spit out three words: "Ye Yitian."
"It turned out to be Guard Ye, then may I ask Guard Ye if it is inconvenient for you to show the way......" only then did I remember that the courtyard had no name, "Uh, it's the courtyard where I live." β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
The poor black-faced guard couldn't react, Rao was never thinking that he was the left arm and right arm of the king of Xiangyuan, who in the palace didn't know that he only obeyed the orders of the prince, and what he did was also extremely confidential and important, and now he was used as a small servant by the princess abandoned by their prince!
Su Yingtong saw that the muscles on his face twitched and twitched obviously, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he raised his legs to lead the way in front after a while.
Su Yingtong hurriedly followed, no wonder he didn't see a familiar place just now, it turned out that he had made a mistake at all!
This distance is not short at all, it is quite complicated, and the most important thing is that the black-faced guard is definitely deliberate, walking fast in front. When did she offend him?
Su Yingtong was puzzled.
"I said, Guard Ye, you don't need to go so fast, I'm not in a hurry, really."
The black figure staggered, he definitely didn't want to lead the way quickly because he was afraid that she would be in a hurry!
But he still didn't say anything, and his pace slowed down a little reluctantly.
After walking quietly for a while, Su Yingtong heard the voice of Qingzhu Qingmei calling, and he hadn't seen anyone all day, so they must have been worried, right?
Su Yingtong's heart was warm.
"Qingzhu, Qingmei, I'm here!"
Finally saw the door of the courtyard, Su Yingtong saw Qingzhu Qingmei in a hurry outside, and couldn't help but be moved, and rushed over to be a bear hug, while lyrical with tears in his eyes: "Qingzhu Qingmei, I almost can't come back to your young lady!" But fortunately, I am witty, smart, brave, and resourceful, and have a great life......"
Green bamboo and green plums.
The princess's sudden enthusiasm was really embarrassing, she was still worried about her just now, but now seeing that she was still in the mood to play treasure, it should be fine, so she put her heart back in her stomach again.
"Princess, why did you come back so late? We're all worried. β
"By the way, it's this ......" Su Yingtong let go of them and turned around, "Huh? What about people? β
"The princess is talking about Ye Guard? He's gone, just now. β
"Oh, forget it," Su Yingtong pulled them into the house, "You two, why didn't you tell me before?" It turns out that I am a continuation! β
"What?" Qingzhu couldn't figure it out, "Princess, you are the first wife married by the prince, why is it a continuation?" β
Su Yingtong was stunned, "Isn't there still a little son?" What about the? β
"Princess, you don't even remember this? Your ...... injury"
"It's alright! It's just that the memory is a little unclear, and everything else is fine, okay, you can talk about it quickly. β
Qingzhu put his mind at ease and said slowly: "Xiao Shizi was carried back to the house by the prince five years ago when he was a baby, and the prince didn't say anything at that time, only announced that it was the son of his child, although everyone was very curious and didn't believe it, but who dared to question the prince's affairs, until Xiao Shizi grew up later, no one doubted Xiao Shizi's identity, after all, Xiao Shizi's eyebrows are all the shadow of the prince......
"What about Xiao Shizi's mother?" Staring at Qingzhu tightly, Su Yingtong didn't know what he was nervous about.
"I don't know," Qingzhu shook his head, "No one has ever seen Xiao Shizi's mother, the prince didn't say it, and no one dared to ask." β
I don't know? That is, I am not sure if the mother of the little world is still in this world? If it's still there, how can you be ruthless and never see your own flesh and blood? If not...... Probably gone, right?
Su Yingtong secretly affirmed this speculation, after all, if Gong Jingyu didn't love her, how could she let her give birth to a son for herself? And it won't let her be out there alone, and the position of this concubine will definitely not be Su Yingrou's turn, and it is useless for anyone to force her.
The only explanation is that Xiao Shizi's mother did die
In front of him, the demonic face of the palace mirror domain and the country and the city floated again, what kind of beauty was she who fell in love with such a stunning man and gave birth to a son for him?
Su Yingtong couldn't help but be curious, and the feeling in his heart was also strange.
Suddenly another thought, five years ago? Gong Jingyu is twenty-two years old this year, so ...... Depend on! He was only seventeen years old and killed someone?!
How much you like it, how young and impulsive it is to make things so big!
Su Yingtong was shocked. It seems that Gong Jingyu has not always been so cold, but has given his enthusiasm to his first love, Xiao Shizi's mother. I really can't see it, it turns out that he is so single-minded and so infatuated......
Su Yingtong shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this question anymore, "So, I ...... last time On the day of the visit, he hurt Xiao Shizi? β
Qingzhu nodded cautiously, "That time alarmed many people, even the princess of the Buddha Hall knew about it." β
The princess? The mother of the palace mirror domain?
It turns out that the old princess is still alive? Why did she still stay in the Buddha Hall on the day of the wedding of the Palace Mirror Domain instead of coming out to preside over the wedding?
Su Yingtong is really big. It seems that she is still too disrespectful, as a princess, although she is a princess who has not been recognized, she can't know anything about the palace!
After some questioning, Su Yingtong finally figured out that the old princess was still alive, but after the death of the old prince, she was dedicated to reciting Buddhism, ignoring miscellaneous matters, and almost didn't even step out of the door of the Buddhist hall. And this doesn't seem to be to mourn the old princess, because as far as people know, the relationship between their husband and wife has always been faint, although the old princess is very good to the old princess, but the people have hardly seen the old princess smile, even if she gave birth to two sons for the old princess, I haven't seen her show warmth, she has always been cold, and the two little princes are also brought up by the nurse......
The two little princes, that is, Gong Yize and Gong Jingyu, the relationship between the brothers has always been very good, the elder brother Gong Yize is young and promising, since the death of the old prince, he replaced the old prince to guard the border pass, and he made a lot of great contributions to the Xiling country at a young age, but a few years ago when he was at war with Shan Pingguo, Gong Yize led the troops to the battle, accidentally fell into an enemy ambush, and was buried on the battlefield, and his wife Hou Chuandong also went to the border with her husband at that time, after Gong Yize's accident, she couldn't withstand the blow and followed...... This is still a legend of the year, dying young, life and death go hand in hand, which is embarrassing.
It turns out that there is an elder brother in the palace mirror domain, and he is a very good brother. Su Yingtong pondered, too, the old princess never took care of them at all, and the old prince was rarely in the house, only the brothers comforted each other since they were children, how could their brotherhood be understood by others? And this old princess should also dislike or even resent the old prince, and even don't like the son born for the old prince, although it is also her own son...... Isn't it too much?
No wonder the Palace Mirror Domain has always been so cold, it turned out to be inherited from his mother, can his personality also be inherited? Or have you not been very good at it since you were a child and have no chance to express your feelings, so it has become like this?
If so, it makes sense. I can't blame Xiao Shizi for being so noisy, it turns out that this little poor man has taken his father's old path, since he was a child, he has no father's pain and no mother's love, I heard Qingzhu say that Gongjingyu is still often absent from the house, and the time she hurt Xiao Shizi, she actually went to see the little guy for a few days.
It seems that this little kid really lacks love! Troublesome all day long is just to attract the attention of his father, poor Gong Jingyu really doesn't know how to be a father, after all, he has been withdrawn since he was a child, so he doesn't know how to take care of his son now...... Isn't this an endless loop?
"Alas, poor little mirrorβ"
"Princess, what did you say?"
"It's nothing," Su Yingtong smiled, and suddenly said, "Qingzhu Qingmei, you still call me Miss as before." "After all, everyone in this palace calls her Miss Su, and besides, she is not unfamiliar with the title of princess, so as not to humiliate herself.
ββ¦β¦ Well, miss. β
"By the way, Qingzhu, you are the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how do you know so clearly about the affairs of the Xiangyuan Palace?" Could it be that the gossip potential of the maid has developed outside the house?
"Oh, when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, I heard Xiaocui, the sprinkler girl in the outer courtyard, say that her mother's aunt's cousin was the person in the princess's house at that time." Qingzhu replied respectfully.
"Then did her mother's aunt's cousin say why the princess was so cold in the first place?" Su Yingtong asked with a gossipy face.
"It's not clear," Qingzhu said helplessly: "How can we know so much about the master's affairs?" Just scratch the surface. β
Also, Su Yingtong was discouraged. But it doesn't matter, since she already knows Xiao Zhengtai's "motive for committing the crime", she is sure that he will automatically confess, after all, there are more problem children in the orphanage in her previous life, and she herself was quite withdrawn when she was a child, this little son should not be difficult to deal with.
