Chapter 398: Father and Son
It's like in a dream, in the clouds.
Yu Zhen felt that he clearly understood what his sister said, but he couldn't understand the meaning.
The concubine Xiao in the palace is Emperor Xuantong's favorite pet and Emperor Xuantong's brainchild. How could she be her sister and her own mother?!
He knows. The biological mother, Xiao Wenying, is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in Yunhang West Mansion, and married to Zong Zhengxiu, the eldest son of the third room of the Zongzheng family. When my sister was three years old, my parents went to Yunhang Mansion to celebrate Mrs. Xiao's birthday, but unfortunately died on the way home.
After knowing his life experience and recognizing his sister, my sister once mentioned that her parents are still alive. He was a little resentful in his heart, and he was grateful for the sincerity of his father and grandmother, even if he actually wanted to see his biological parents, but it was not good to show it on the surface.
However, this does not mean that when he heard that his mother would be Concubine Xiao, he would not be shocked and deeply doubted. Thinking about it carefully, when my sister mentioned Emperor Xuantong, he vaguely understood.
At some point, his sister had left, leaving him alone in the room. Yu Zhen sighed leisurely, presumably back then, just as my sister faintly revealed, my parents had a lot of last resort.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded, and Yu Zhihudi turned his head, only to see a tall stranger wearing a cold metal mask and a black robe suddenly appear in the room.
Yu Zhen looked at this person vigilantly, slowly stood up, and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword that was placed across the table: "Coming uninvited is not a way to be a guest. ”
Zong Zhengxiu stared at the child in front of him, and his appearance was even more like Xiao Wenying. Especially at this time, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked exactly like Xiao Wenying when he was nervous and vigilant.
"I'm Zong Zhengxiu." A low voice came from under the mask, gruff and unpleasant.
Jade's body shook slightly, but he still didn't relax his hand holding the sword, and after a moment of silence, he only said, "Oh." ”
"An Guogong studied in Beijing back then, he was my senior brother, and he was also my friend of life and death." Zong Zhengxiu said slowly, "Your mother risked death to give birth to you, and there was nothing she could do. I entrusted you to him. At that time, I was struggling with burns and serious injuries from falling off a cliff. ”
Yu's face was expressionless, and there was only a slight look of emotion in his eyes. A "risking death". A "struggle", the person on the other side said it like a breeze and clouds, but in fact, I don't know how much bitterness and hardship are hidden in it.
"The person who saved me was Dongtang Xizuo. They were ordered by the Eastern Tang Emperor to plot something in that area. I was saved by accident, and I was later taken to Dongtang by them. I pretended to have amnesia, passed their test, became one of them, and even gained the trust of the Eastern Tang Emperor and was sent to the King of Linzi as both a guard and a watchman. Zong Zhengxiu sat down at the table, his voice steady.
"As for your mother, she didn't do it in the palace of her own free will. Don't blame her, and don't be ashamed of her serving the emperor. Zong Zhengxiu sighed lightly. You must also know that the noble daughters of the Jokhang Empire can marry husbands. Although your mother didn't grow up in the Jokhang Empire, some ideas were not abandoned if you changed your living environment. Xiao, after all, is the national surname of the Jokhang Empire. ”
"My sister told me about the elders, telling me to look at it with a normal heart." Yan Yuji looked at Zong Zhengxiu and asked sharply, "What about you, what do you think of your mother's current situation?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Zongzheng Xiucai said: "I ...... I don't know. ”
Yan Yu was dumbfounded. Zong Zhengxiu obviously didn't want to continue the topic. He also said: "An Guogong has great kindness to you and my father and son, as long as he is willing, you can still be his son!" You should also persuade him to marry another good wife as soon as possible. gave birth to a son-in-law to inherit the title of duke. ”
When my father said this, the jade quality was relieved. His biggest fear was that his father would rely on his blood to force him to change his surname. He couldn't do that anyway. He can't leave his father behind, and he can't leave the Anguo Mansion!
Standing up, Yan Yuzhen bowed to Zong Zhengxiu. Solemnly thanked: "Thank you, father!" ”
Zong Zhengxiu shook his head, got up from his seat, and said in a low voice: "The poison on your body has not been resolved, so it is not appropriate to act rashly. During this time, you might as well stay with your sister and get rid of the toxins in your body. When the poison in your body is resolved, I will take you to meet the elders, and you can also practice the martial arts techniques passed down from generation to generation of the Zongzheng family! ”
Yan Yuzhi nodded, bowed in silence, and watched his father leave. It didn't take long for Zong Zhengke to come back again, and when he saw Yu's dazed expression, he couldn't help shaking his hand.
Looking at her sister who was full of concern, Yu Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Sister, my father is vague, and he doesn't know much about the past and these years. Sister, can you tell me more about it? ”
Zong Zhengke pulled Yu Zhen to sit down, asked someone to bring tea, and slowly told him everything he knew. At the end, she specifically mentioned the grandmother she met in Yanjiazhuang.
Jade said bitterly: "It turned out to be my mother." At that time, the grandmother was wiping me in the bath, and I felt strange when I couldn't stop crying. ”
"My mother had to take a big risk when she left the palace, and that time she went out of her way to prevent me from going to Yunhang County. You fought in the barracks when you were a child, and you must have suffered many wounds. Mother sees you scarred, how can you not feel distressed? Zong Zhengke said in a low voice, "So jade, there are some things that don't have to be minded." You have to believe that she has you in her heart all the time. You are the child your parents owe the most! ”
Yu Zhen shook his head and said, "No, sister, I don't feel that my parents owe me anything. My father treated me as his own, and poured his heart and soul into me without the slightest reservation. Although I don't have my mother's love, it's enough to have a father. It's your sister......"
"Needless to say, things from the past. Since you have no mustard in your heart, then you can go into the palace to visit your mother when you have time. She misses you so much. Zong Zhengke breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile was warm.
Yan Yuzhi happily agreed, and asked curiously: "Father came to look for my sister, but is there something?" ”
Zong Zhengke nodded and said, "Actually, I mainly came to see you." There is also one thing. Murong Chun poisoned the palace concubine, and the reason was that the palace concubine called out the poison of 'Red Tibet'. But the father of the palace concubine has actually been accused by his father, and his father has already obtained a 'red collection' that was originally hidden in the Yuyan County Palace. This time, my father came over and handed me the poison pill. ”
Yu Zhen pondered carefully, frowned and asked, "Sister, since I was poisoned, what about my mother?" ”
What a smart and sensitive child. Master Tian also mentioned that he once asked him about the approximate time of his poisoning. Zong Zhengke sighed lightly and said, "It has already happened not long ago. (To be continued.) )
