Eighty-six. Cocoon Peeling (2)

The past is a long time ago, but those memories that are engraved in the heart are difficult to erase after all. I thought that Mr. Su's instructions when he was dying were just his own responsibility and secret, but he didn't want his father to not only know, but even know more than himself. Qin Nanxi finally told his father about the events under Cuiwei Mountain and Mr. Su's instructions when he was dying.

Qin Zi'an listened silently, until Qin Nanxi closed his voice, he closed his eyes, half-tilted his head and sighed bitterly to the sky: "Changqing, Changqing, you and I have a relationship, why do you force me like this!" ”

"Daddy, what do you mean when you say that Mr. Su forced you?" Qin Nanxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Qin Zi'an's thin throat bone moved up and down with difficulty, and two turbid tears slowly seeped out of the corners of his eyes.

"Daddy" Qin Nanxi hurriedly leaned forward, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in distress, so he hurriedly helped him lie down and rest. She knew that no matter whether the events of the year were related to the current predicament or not, she could not bear or want to let her aging and sick father suffer any more shock and injury.

Qin Zi'an sighed, opened his eyes and looked at Qin Nanxi, shook his head and said softly: "Since you have already been involved, Dad should tell you the truth of the matter." ”

"The truth?" Qin Nanxi saw his father's solemn expression and stopped helping him lie down.

Qin Zi'an nodded weakly, and said quietly: "Nineteen years ago, that is, in the sixteenth year of the former Qi Longqing, in the third year of the Tianbao of Great Chu, the Huaiyang line guarded by Prince Min was broken without attack. When he was dying, the prince entrusted me and Changqing with two things respectively. Qin Zi'an faced her daughter and finally couldn't tell the details of the past.

In that year, Situ Jing pressed the border with heavy troops, and Prince Yumin took the initiative to ask for peace and surrender in order to protect the peace of the people. But after Situ Jing was surrendered on behalf of Emperor Chu, he humiliated the prince in every way, and in the end, the former prince killed himself with hatred, and Situ Jing's soldiers were bloodless, and captured the last line of Daqi, and finally became the hero of Dachu Dingding.

"A soldier can be killed, not humiliated, not to mention that he is the prince of a country, the country is ruined, and there is no reason to steal his life!" Qin Nanxi sighed, she saw the rare look of admiration in her father's eyes, and couldn't help but think of Princess Changyi she had seen in person. The princess is a woman, and she still has the grace and courage to hold the world in her lap, presumably her own brother, Prince Yu Min must be even more extraordinary.

Qin Zi'an smiled bitterly, raised her eyes to look at Qin Nanxi and said, "You are a boudoir girl, where did you learn so much fortitude and loyalty?" ”

"Daddy forgot? Nan Xi has been by Mr. Su's side for seven years? Qin Nanxi deliberately smiled at his father, who was immersed in the painful past, and his tone was brisk, as if he was an irrelevant willful trick in the past.

But her joke touched Qin Zi'an's deepest pain and helplessness, before her words fell, Qin Zi'an coughed violently, his thin body bowed painfully on the brocade quilt, his violently trembling shoulders seemed to shake away his decaying whole body, and the intermittent voice roared and whispered: "How can you forget!" How could Dad forget! ”

Qin Nanxi was so frightened that he couldn't figure it out, he stroked his back in a hurry, poured warm water and served him to drink some, and it took a long time to see that his breath gradually smoothed out. I wanted to persuade him to rest, but I could see the insistent look in his eyes, so I had to obediently kneel on the side of the collapse and accompany him silently.

Qin Zi'an raised his hand with difficulty, rubbed the top of Qin Nanxi's head, and said bitterly: "It's my father who is sorry for you and your mother!" It's Daddy who hurt you! ”

"Daddy?" Qin Nan looked at the tears in Qin Zi'an's eyes in confusion.

"At the beginning, when my father should have sent the prince to return to Chu with the Jiangnan scholars, and it was his duty to protect the people for the rest of his life, the day he left you and your mother with tears? Dad never imagined that Changqing would drag you into this matter! You're still a child who hasn't yet been born out of your mother's womb! Hey~" Qin Zi'an burst into tears and sighed to the sky.

"Dad, you said you left me and my mother?" Although she has been exposed to many shocking secrets recently, Qin Zi'an's words still make Qin Nanxi confused and sad. From as long as she can remember, she knew that when her family fled and her father and mother were separated, Mr. Su rushed to save her mother and her who were still in her mother's womb at that time. Why did the separation suddenly turn into abandonment in my father's mouth? What was the truth back then? Qin Nanxi stared at his father suspiciously, waiting for his answer.

Qin Zi'an looked at her deep gaze, sighed mournfully, and continued: "Yunzhen, she is dedicated to safeguarding Changqing, and what she told you is naturally omitted from Changqing." When Changqing proposed to ask your mother to go north with him, one was indeed to protect your mother and daughter, and the other was also ......" Qin Zi'an used a long sigh to cover up his helplessness and heartache back then.

Back then, he was entrusted by the prince to return to Chu with a group of Jiangnan scholars who followed the prince. But Su Changqing was single-minded and had long-term plans, so he proposed to let Qin Zi'an's wife who was about to give birth to be brought to the border of Youzhou, the purpose of which was just to let Qin Zi'an cooperate with him inside and outside to help Prince Min return to the country.

Su Changqing wanted to help the prince restore the country, although he finally gave up because of the prince's self-inflicted suicide. But Su Changqing really took away Qin Zi'an's beloved wife and young daughter. Whether he wants to protect and take care of his close wife's weak daughters, or whether he hijacks their mother and daughter to threaten Qin Zi'an for the sake of long-term memory, the parties involved back then are now only Qin Zi'an's father and daughter are left on the two relatively sick beds, but the aftermath of this incident has rippled in front of him with a few words of ballad.
