Chapter 172: The Hidden Past
"Sister-"
Liu Ruxue was about to continue to ask, but Liu Lin snorted coldly from the side: "As a national teacher, troubles are indispensable, who can I show with a sad face!" If you have this time, you might as well think of a solution! ”
The tone was so strong that Qi couldn't help but turn his head and look over, a pair of beautiful eyebrows twisted violently, I don't know what happened to their father and daughter suddenly.
Because Liu Lin's sentence was interrupted, Liu Ruxue did not continue to ask, and Liu Rumo Xu couldn't get off the stage because of Liu Lin's words, and his face was even more ugly, so he stood up silently and replied: "I'll go find a way!" ”
got up, walked out, didn't drag the mud and water at all, and didn't let Liu Ruxue seize an opportunity to ridicule her, and she walked away.
As soon as Liu Rumo left, Liu Lin seemed to be relieved a lot, and turned the conversation to Liu Ruxue: "Ruxue, in the past few days, you have been going to the main courtyard every day to ask for peace, do you have something to ask Yu Wei's father?" ”
"Daddy, Cher is only +++3. +s+ is to think of the past wayward behavior to make you and your mother worry about it, so I decided to change it, first of all, to serve you and your mother every day, in order to show filial piety! The words were sincere, and Qi even helped: "Master, look at Xue'er, she is much more sensible than before!" Liu Lin's face was as usual, but she was sighing secretly in her heart, if she really understood the reason, she was determined to reform and stop causing trouble for them, but it was a pity that she was just acting on the surface, but in fact it made him worry more than before.
Qi didn't know what Liu Lin was thinking when he was silent, and he didn't dare to talk rashly, so he had to wait for him to speak. It's been a long time. Liu Lincai said: "It's a good thing that Ruxue has this idea. I am glad to be a Father! ”
"Master Guoshi, are you going back to the palace now?"
As soon as Liu Rumofu got into the carriage, she heard the coachman ask in a low voice through the curtain, she thought for a moment and said, "Go and leave the palace!" ”
Qingli still maintains a state of isolation from the world, staying in his now renovated mansion and not asking about the world, she thinks about it and feels that it is still necessary to see him once. So as to determine what he is talking about.
The carriage jolted towards Qingli's mansion, Liu Rumo took advantage of the road to close her eyes and take a nap, thinking back to the scene when she and Liu Lin played tricks on Liu Ruxue, but the result did not alleviate her doubts, and she did not draw any definite conclusions, just looking at Liu Ruxue's expression and reaction, it was clear that she still had the same heartless appearance before, but she knew that she went to eavesdrop on their conversation outside the study, and Liu Lin said that the furnishings in the study had been moved, as if it was for her love. I can't help but be a little more suspicious of her. When Qingli knew that she was coming, he unhurriedly asked Ning Bo to bring her over. He changed into an idle robe under the service of Nanshu, and not long after he changed it, Ning Bo's voice came through the door: "Childe, the national teacher has arrived!" ”
On the way to bring her, she had explained to Nymber why she had called herself a handmaid in the first place, and sincerely apologized to him for his forgiveness.
Nanshu first glanced at his son-in-law, and after getting permission, he went over to open the door and welcomed Liu Rumo in.
"National Teacher, please!"
"Hmm." Liu Rumo went in and found a place to sit down, Qingli was walking out from behind the screen, meeting her eyes, hooking her lips and smiling, "I haven't seen you for a few days!" ”
In fact, if you really want to count it, it didn't take long for Bisheng Qingli to say it in such a tone that seemed to be stunned and reminiscent, which made Liu Rumo respond in a low voice, "Yes! ”
"Nanshu, you go out first!" Qingli turned to Nanshu and waved his hand.
As soon as the door opened and closed, only he and Liu Rumo were left in the room.
"I don't know why Rumo came here today?" Raising his hand to pour a cup of tea for her and himself, Qingli slowly put down the teapot and asked Liu Rumo.
"What's the back road you're referring to in your letter?" Liu Rumo didn't intend to beat around the bush with him, and immediately got straight to the point.
Qingli held the cup for a moment, raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea, and smiled calmly: "You want to know?" ”
Nonsense!
If she didn't want to know, how could she come all the way to his house to ask, Liu Rumo took a sip of the teacup, and secretly slandered.
Qingli seemed to see through what she was thinking, and then spoke: "What you want to know, you should know everything!" ”
As if to verify the authenticity of what he said, Qingli really opened his mouth and said the will he asked for from Emperor Qing.
"So that decree is now in the Qinzheng Palace, if the emperor has doubts about you, you will announce the existence of this holy decree to the world, and then leave the capital according to the decree and go to the fief?" This answer really surprised Liu Rumo, didn't he care about the imperial power and power?
"Not bad!" Qingli replied without thinking, and confirmed Liu Rumo's thoughts.
"There's one more thing I haven't been able to figure out these days, but I think you should be able to give me a reasonable explanation or useful information!" Liu Rumo put aside the previous topic and retracted.
"Let's just say it!" Reaching out to her to make a "please" gesture, Qingli waited quietly for her to ask.
"Concubine Rou's behavior of hanging herself to follow the first emperor is very puzzling, I have been thinking about it for several days, it is impossible for Rou Concubine Niangniang to know that the first emperor will die on that day, why did she hang herself before the palace eunuch arrived?"
"What does Rumo think?" Qingli asked without answering.
"Concubine Rou Niangniang is sure that she died by suicide, and the words of all the palace eunuchs and palace maids in the dormitory are true, and there is no discrepancy, that is to say, although Concubine Rou Niangniang is sad and haggard because the emperor snubbed her, but she chose that day to hang herself, obviously it is impossible to pick a random day, it is more like someone told her something, so that she pinched the time and died before the palace eunuch passed the decree."
Qing Li's eyes crossed a trace of incomprehensible affection, and then replied indifferently, "It is true that someone informed Concubine Rou Niangniang in advance, but it just so happens that that person is me!" ”
Liu Rumo didn't show the slightest surprise, and there was a hint of "I knew it was you" written on her face.
She didn't ask questions, but Qingli didn't plan to continue hanging her, and directly told the truth: "If I say that it is not Concubine Rou who is buried with my father, will Rumo feel incredible?" ”。
Not a concubine?
Liu Rumo hadn't thought about this possibility, Concubine Rou hanged herself in her own bedroom, and the rest were palace maids and palace eunuchs who served her, even if Concubine Rou wanted to hide, she was afraid that she couldn't hide, how could Qingli say that it was not Concubine Rou who died
"What the hell is going on?" Liu Rumo raised his head and drank the teacup in his hand and put it on the table.
"You ought to know my past, right? A lot of words" Qingli did not directly confront her question, but made a false move and talked about his own past.
"When I was young, I was sent to Northern Xinjiang by my father with my mother, and then the political turmoil in Northern Xinjiang, we took the opportunity to escape back, but we were chased and killed by the pursuers and rogues, and my mother finally failed to escape the catastrophe, and I was taken away by the woman who was saved by my mother and sent me to the palace gate. That woman is Concubine Rou, and I like to call her Aunt Rou because she fills the wound left on my heart by my mother's tragic death. ”
Liu Rumo was silent, listening carefully, what she didn't expect was that Concubine Rou and Qingli had such a relationship, when they first came into contact, she only thought that the two were working together for the position of the prince, but she never thought about it or thought about it.
"My father boasted of being affectionate, and everyone only thought that he remembered Concubine Ning, who died in his early years, but he didn't know that even he recognized the wrong person, remembered the wrong person, and the person who fell in love with him back then was not Concubine Ning, but my mother, who was a palace maid!" Qingli said this, raised his hand and lifted his sleeve, revealing the things on his wrist.
"Ruby Bead !??" Liu Rumo couldn't believe that there would be a string of Supreme Treasure Red Jade Beads on the hands of the six princes who were not loved by the first emperor.
Qingli saw her look, glanced at her, and said to herself: "Concubine Ning took advantage of my mother's loophole and got the concubine position and favor, so what, she was thought by her father until she died that she was the woman he wore on the tip of his heart, and she was born and died in the name of substitution, and it was rumored up and down in the palace that my mother was the substitute for Concubine Ning, but I didn't know that the red jade beads that I once held a string of red jade beads when I fell in love with my father have always been on my mother, and later passed on to me." ”
"My mother died on the way to exile, together with the aristocratic royal family who escaped from Northern Xinjiang, I actually had some resentment towards my father, my beloved woman couldn't recognize her, and sent her to Northern Xinjiang in order to weigh the benefits, but my mother's greatest wish was to be buried with my father after his death, and never separated, so I planned a series of things, including Aunt Rou's entry into the palace, all to fulfill my mother's unforgotten wish before she died."
"So you let Concubine Rou hang herself before that, and then swapped her with your mother?" This is simply incredible, according to Qingyuan, Concubine Rou's appearance is almost the same as that of the deceased Concubine Ning, could it be said that Qingli's mother looks very similar to Concubine Ning?
Studying it carefully, Concubine Ning's scheming is not shallow, she found a strange person out of nowhere, changed her appearance to be the same as her mother, and then replaced her mother and her father for a long time, so she thought that her mother's appearance was the most real one, I kept my mother's body very well, I have been planning for so long over the years, just for this day, my father will decree that Aunt Rou be buried, I can guess this result early in the morning, whether he is really reluctant to Aunt Rou, and wants Aunt Rou to accompany him, or to prevent me and Aunt Rou from joining forces to deal with Qingyuan, He's going to do that, so I'm not worried.
When the person who passed the decree came, my mother had already changed into a prepared palace dress and was waiting to be buried, and no one would suspect that she was not Concubine Rou, so she could be buried with her father and emperor logically, and she could not be separated from her life.
"I didn't expect there to be such a story here," Liu Rumo muttered in a low voice.
