Chapter 322: Insider
When Xu Pei raised his eyes, Xiao Cuo only felt that this person seemed to be ten years old in an instant after seeing this booklet, his eyes full of wisdom were like sinking into a pool of stagnant water at this time, and the corners of his lips were pressed down into an arc that wanted to cry but couldn't cry uncontrollably.
"Mr. Xu?" Xiao Cuo's voice slowed down, but he was not in a hurry to ask. Because of Xu Pei's appearance, it clearly shows that he knows a thing or two about the things written in this booklet, even if he is not completely clear, and with Xu Pei's loyalty to him, he will definitely not hide anything.
"Lord Wang. Where did you get this booklet? Xu Pei took a deep breath to calm his mood, and when he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Cuo, his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
Xiao said wrongly: "I can't say how this book came about, I just want to know, what do you mean by what you just said?" What is she saying is true? She's my mother? What did my queen mother say? β
Xu Pei looked at Xiao Cuo's masculine and handsome face in a complicated way, but he answered the question faintly: "You really look like her." Xiao Xiao was the first beauty in Liaodong back then, and she jokingly said when she didn't leave the pavilion that when she got married in the future, she would have to give birth to a boy who looked like her to turn everyone upside down. Ah Qing and I both laughed at her for not being ashamed, and the girl's family talked like this, but she was such a person. β
Xiao Cuo saw that Xu Pei was caught in his memories, so he said gently: "What are you talking about A-Qing?" β
"It's Fu Qing, General Fu. I grew up with Fu Qing and your mother. Although our family backgrounds are different, we unexpectedly fell in love. Your mother was able to make decisions when she talked and laughed in the boudoir, and although she had the appearance of a captivating city, she acted as generously as a boy. And often with some ingenuity. I'm just weak, and I don't like fame, I know that I'm not worthy of Xiao Xiao, at first, I thought Xiao would marry A Qing, but she has been weak since she was a child, and after being sick a few times, her temperament will change every time, sometimes she is cold, and sometimes she changes from cold to naΓ―ve. He even forgot about me and A-Qing. Afterward. After all, her appearance still attracted the attention of the emperor. β
Xiao Cuo knew that the Empress Dowager Sheng'an's surname was Wang, and her maiden name was Xiaoxiao, and his maternal grandfather's family used to be a Liaodong Wang family, but he was beheaded all over the house because he was involved in the witch Gu case. The rest of the details are unknown. Now Xu Pei, an insider with the childhood sweetheart of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an, is willing to say. Naturally, he wanted to listen. It is to interrupt even more without words.
Xu Pei is still recalling: "Xiao Xiao has come all the way. After going through hardships, especially after becoming pregnant, she is like a different person. It's cold and incomprehensible, what is said in this booklet is true, the eldest son who died early when the emperor did not practice Zuo was indeed made by Xiaoxiao. β
"You, you said that the eldest son of the imperial brother was really killed by my mother?"
"Yes. Ah Qing and I didn't understand her back then, so we quarreled with her and questioned her, but she had tears in her eyes, and she didn't cry in front of us after all, but told us something unbelievable, she said that she had a bizarre experience, and she had dreamed of the future. β
"Dreaming of the future?"
"Yes. She said that the dream was so real that she couldn't even tell whether it was a dream or not, she said that what she dreamed was more than 20 years later, she herself was long gone, and the child in her womb, that is, you, had grown up, as a prince, but could not marry the right woman, but was casually stuffed by the emperor into a small country to pay tribute to the beauty, and what is even more hateful is that your child was thrown to death by the emperor in front of you at the full moon, fed to the mastiff, and even the child's mother was ...... She said that she saw with her own eyes in a dream that the current emperor had killed her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, how could she not hate. β
When Xu Pei said this, he had already lowered his eyes, and tears slipped down his wrinkled nascent cheeks, which he wiped away at will. So he didn't see Xiao Cuo's shocked eyes.
"Ah Qing and I both thought Xiao Xiao was really crazy back then, so he would take revenge on the prince in reality because of a dream, but because of our relationship, Ah Qing is still willing to shelter Xiao from the wind and rain, and I am willing to give her advice...... Lord, do you know. Xu Pei finally raised his head and looked at Xiao Cuo leisurely: "Back then, maybe Ah Qing and I should have believed her." β
"Why?" Xiao Cuo's voice was dry.
Xu Pei smiled bitterly and said: "Because, the day of A-Qing's accident and the day of Xiaoxiao's death, she once said it, when she reminded A-Qing not to walk that canyon, and said that her life, as well as the life of her children, are tied to A-Qing, if A-Qing lives, they can live." But Ah Qing still ...... After Ah Qing went, Xiao Xiao seemed to be old all of a sudden, and she asked me to fake my death and leave the palace and stay in Kyoto to find an opportunity to help assist you. Soon after I left her, she did go on the day she had prophesied. If only we had believed her. But some things seem to be moving along a trajectory and cannot be changed at all. β
Xu Pei's voice fell into his throat, and the whole person fell into a whirlpool of sadness.
Xiao Cuo is laughing at what Xu Pei said over and over again.
For so many years, the royal brother who spoiled him and loved him like a master and a father really had an enmity with his biological mother? How can a person turn a blind eye to the hatred of killing a child? Why do you know that he is the son of the enemy, or do you raise him with a treasure, and even the court takes him with you?
If the royal brother is really full of malice towards him and has only been acting for so many years, then what is his so-called family affection? Wouldn't his single-minded allegiance to the imperial brother become the biggest joke?
Could it be that the royal brother would really feed his children to dogs?
Child?
Speaking of children, he remembered the child who was killed by Fu Ling.
When he pinched Fu Ling's neck, Fu Ling once said something, this kid came too early, it's not the right time or something......
Also, his mother had that kind of strange dream, and even dreamed of the days after her death and the time of her own death. So what about Fu Ying, who had such a strange dream like her? Does she also know what the future holds?
Xiao Cuo was so confused that he asked Xu Pei to go to Haosheng to rest first, and then left the palace.
As soon as he got on the horse, a henchman galloped to take the secret report.
Xiao Co unfolded the note, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
"Sima Xin's eldest daughter, Sima Yunying, turned out to be the real eldest princess?!"
This......
Xiao Cuo bit his lower lip, got off the horse and galloped back to ask Xu Pei.
Xu Pei was also surprised when he learned the news, but after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It's also possible." At that time, the emperor's foundation was unstable, most of the people in the court were in our hands, the emperor lost his eldest son, for fear that other heirs would also have accidents, so it was reasonable to raise the princess in the house of a trusted courtier, and it was reasonable to put a stand-in next to him, and did the prince forget that the second prince also disappeared when he was a child? If you think about the time when the second prince disappeared and was found, you will understand. (To be continued.) )
