Chapter 16: Her Secret
Li Changqing saw that his grandfather had no brains, so he cleared his throat and said: "This time the Yellow Crane Tower competition, I heard that my grandfather will go, I don't know if I can ask Qing'er for two posts." ”
"Qing'er is here to entertain grandpa? Or do you really want to participate? Ye Guogong pulled her to sit beside him and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't there a grandfather, Qing'er also wants to join in the fun and take a look at this big scene." Li Changqing pulled the sleeve of the Duke of Laye and shook it, raised his chin, and said with a smile.
"Yes, Qing'er is twelve years old this year, and it should be time to take it out to see the world." Lin reminded beside him.
"Wanru is right, you should go and see it at this age." Ye Qingcang immediately echoed his wife.
"Okay, okay, I think if I don't give it to you today, I won't be able to get through the hurdle of your uncle and aunt, a bad old man." Ye Guogong scratched his head as he spoke, pursed his lips at Li Changqing, blew his beard, glared, and pulled out two posts from his sleeve in a trick.
Li Changqing was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, "Thank you, grandfather." As he spoke, he reached for it......
"Hey, hey, I'm in such a hurry, but I want to go to the Yellow Crane Tower to see my sweetheart?" Ye Guogong refused, this girl has such an urgent expression, does she really have a sweetheart?
"Grandpa!" Li Changqing faced his grandfather's ridicule, immediately stomped his feet, pretended to be angry and waved the corners of his clothes, bowing his head and being coquettish.
"The stinky girl is still angry, okay, okay, grandpa doesn't play anymore, it's boring. This time I went to the Yellow Crane Tower, but I had to fight for my grandfather, I think your mother was ....... ”
Seeing that his father was about to talk about his sister-in-law, Lin was afraid that he would be sad and sad again, so he hurriedly smiled and pulled Changqing, and said: "Daddy, the daughter of our Ye family, but outsiders can't compare, later, I will personally send Changqing back, and tell the old lady Li well, give us Changqing, please ask a few powerful mothers-in-law and grandmothers these days to step up the practice of playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Daddy will rest assured." ”
Li Changqing understood what his aunt meant, this was because he was worried that his grandfather was old, and he remembered that his mother touched the scene and hurt his body.
Then he said: "Grandpa rest assured, Qing'er will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations." ”
Ye Guogong watched his daughter-in-law and granddaughter try their best to avoid the deceased daughter for him, and he inevitably felt some feelings in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face and said, "That's the daughter and granddaughter of our Ye family, but it's the best." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head, wiped his sleeve towards his eyes, turned his eyes red, and continued: "Alas, Qing'er will go and catch up with your aunt, and let your uncle and mother send you back to the house later, I am also sleepy, and this post will be given to you." As he spoke, he handed the two posts to Li Changqing.
"Grandpa is naturally thinking about you, even if you don't come in person this time, grandpa will send someone to send this post over. However, you Li Mansion also has two copies, it is estimated that your father may go with your aunt at that time, your father's person, alas, alas, don't mention it, I'm really old and confused, marry your mother to him, and the good daughter was killed by that family. ”
As he spoke, he panicked, and he couldn't help it, and the old tears were up and down.
The three people who were standing immediately panicked, whether they didn't go around, or mentioned Li Changqing's mother Ye Rubing.
In his previous life, Li Changqing and his grandfather were not so close, but had a sense of rejection, especially after the death of his mother, Li Changqing listened to Wang Ruzhen's words, and he was not close to the rented family, and turned a blind eye to the kind visits of the three uncles. borrowed her hand and used Ye Guogong's relationship to achieve Li Changxin's dream of being the queen.
Now, standing in front of his grandfather alive, looking at his age, he was sad and indignant about his daughter's death like a child, and he suddenly felt guilty.
couldn't help but reach out and wipe my grandfather's wrinkled cheeks, and even shed long-lost tears.
"Grandpa, Qing'er is here, you still have uncles, cousins and cousins, by the way, and Qing'er's brother Changyong and younger brother Changmou. Grandpa, don't cry, if you cry again, Qing'er will be even more sad, grandpa, grandpa......"
Lin and Ye Qingcang were also in a hurry, this one cried, the other cried, the room suddenly cried, or Lin's wrist was hard, and immediately gave the surrounding girls a look, and hurriedly pulled the crying two people apart, and immediately brought the decoction up, waiting: "Daddy, drink the medicine, see you are so uncomfortable, Changqing is going to cry and swollen eyes, let's not cry, let's send Changqing back later, Daddy will rest assured." ”
As if coaxing a child, he fed the medicine into Ye Guogong's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
After taking the medicine, Ye Guogong fell asleep after a while.
Lin Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, covered Ye Guogong with a quilt, and then retreated with the other two.
"Uncle, what's wrong with grandpa?" Li Changqing had already noticed that something was wrong, and now when he saw his grandfather's appearance, he was obviously a little crazy.
"Alas, it's hard to put into words, when I married into the Ye family, your mother was still a girl in the family, and your grandfather loved her very much. But later, somehow, when I met your father Li Rao, I wanted to marry him, although your grandfather said that he refused, but just this one daughter, your three uncles also love your mother very much.
This is no more than your mother, and the family agreed to an agreement, and after all, they married into the Li Mansion. However, after a short time, after your mother gave birth to Changyong and you, her health began to be bad, and from time to time she went home to your grandfather and said that her whole body was like a small insect gnawing her, and your grandfather secretly invited many doctors to come over with Li Fu to see if there was any disease, but your mother just kept shouting pain, uncomfortable, and nausea, so that after giving birth to you for three years, she was pregnant with your younger brother Changmou.
Speaking of Changmou, he is also a hard-working child, who stayed in your mother's womb for less than seven months, and actually gave birth to a child with that Aunt Wang in the Li Mansion. Your mother gave you the name of this long-term scheme. Changmou was born prematurely, and her health has not been good, and your mother eventually died soon due to unbearable pain all over her body, and she suffered heavy bleeding after giving birth. ”
Lin paused as he spoke, took a sip of the tea held by the girl next to him, and then the three of them came to the hall and sent the people away, and then said: "Your uncles beat up your father Li Rao for this matter, and this incident caused a lot of uproar in the entire court......
Ye Qingcang saw that his wife said that his mouth was dry, so he hugged her, patted her on the shoulder, and signaled her to stop, and Ye Qingcang himself continued: "That time, I was also angry when I beat your father, and I went home later and received family law. At that time, we were both young and vigorous, and our only sister died tragically, and she endured so much pain before she died, so she was not reconciled, so the three of us dug up your mother's grave overnight......"
Speaking of this, Ye Qingcang looked at his niece whose face was getting paler and paler, let go of his wife with one hand, and gently hugged Li Changqing in his arms with the other, and sighed: "At that time, I had just won the battle, captured a few captives of different races, and was about to bring them into the palace to be handed over to the emperor for disposal.
Who knows, when I was talking to your second uncle, I accidentally mentioned your mother's situation, and one of the female captives named Nian Nu actually affirmed that your mother was hit by Gu.
This sentence startled us, you must know that this kind of witch Gu and the like are forbidden in the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty. It is rumored that the most favored concubine of the saint today was killed by a witch. So, in order to confirm that what Nannu said is not the truth, for the first time, we violated the ban of the army and secretly took her to dig up your mother's grave. ”
At this moment, Ye Qingcang's face had become a dark cyan, his palm was tightly curled up, and his green tendons were violent.
Li Changqing's lips were no longer bloodless, she could have a premonition of what kind of appearance her mother was, what kind of horror should the woman who was already lying in the grave be? How much torture did you suffer before you died?
Lin felt the coldness emanating from Changqing's body, that bloodthirsty cold, which made her, the master mother who had gone through vicissitudes, feel the gloom from hell.
"Qing'er, there are uncles and aunts, don't be afraid." Lin shook Li Changqing's hand, and the warm and soft palm seemed to be infused with a force, which gradually calmed Li Changqing's restless heart.
"At that time, we only smelled a stench, and my sister, who had only been dead for seven days, had changed beyond recognition. What's even more terrifying is her body, which is crawling with small cyan insects, squirming fat body, going in and out of Bing'er's body, your mother's is the most beautiful, but, what is that face? There were only bones left, even the bones were black, and the hair was covered with small green dots, and Niannu wouldn't let us come close, so she took a bottle and put some medicine in it, and the little insects crawled into it with the smell, and then she collected the little blue dots into another porcelain bottle, and froze your mother with a potion in front of us......"
Ye Qingcang said, paused, looked at his wife, as if a silent conversation, Lin took over the conversation and said: "In order to settle in the ground, although we will be like ice, but in the end we will be reburied." ”
Lin's eyes flashed when he said this.
Li Changqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of his aunt's dodgy eyes, and his heart was suffocated, but he still shook his head gently.
"Does my grandfather know?"
"We didn't dare to sue him, that time, the three of us beat your father, and we were imprisoned until the night of your mother's burial, and we didn't even attend your mother's funeral."
"What about Nienu?"
"As promised, she was sent back to her hometown." Ye Qingcang lowered his head, stared at his boots, and whispered to Li Changqing.
Li Changqing just glanced at the two of them, and knew that they were still hiding something, but he was not in a hurry to know.
Now that it has been determined that her mother died from witch Gu, and she is still in the Li Mansion, she must find out.
"Uncle, what do you mean that my mother's grave is empty?"
Ye Qingcang nodded and mentioned another thing.
"However, Na Nian Nu said, it is generally difficult for people who have fallen into witch Gu to get pregnant, and your mother's witch Gu was there before she was pregnant with Changmou, and then she gave birth to Changmou. It stands to reason that Changmou will also bring Gu worms on his body, but your two uncles and I secretly sent many people to check Changmou's diet and physical condition, and they have not found anything abnormal, but Aunt Wang of the Li Mansion often sees Aunt Wang running to take care of Changmou all day long, and his body is getting healthier and healthier, we all feel very strange, and even when I asked Niannu later, she felt weird. ”
Li Changqing thought in his heart, sure enough, as Li Changxin said, this Li Changmou is not the other Li Changmou.
It seems that she is going to verify the truth for herself when she goes back this time.
Thinking of this, he said to Ye Qingcang: "Qing'er begs Uncle for one thing, please find a doctor who is skilled in medicine and familiar with witch Gu for Qing'er within one day, and then find a secret courtyard in Shangjing, please Uncle must do it for Qing'er within one day, is it okay?" ”
Lin is a good person, and when he heard this, he immediately asked, "Qing'er, what clues do you have?" ”
Li Changqing originally meant to say it, but thinking that the people in the entire Ye Guogong Mansion had done their best for the three of their brothers and sisters, this time, Li Changmou's matter, she still found out the truth and took revenge alone.
She can't once again involve the Guogong Mansion to lose so many lives for her own selfish desires.
"Dare to ask, can my uncle?" Li Changqing saw that his uncle was silent, and gently spit out these words in his clear voice, and asked again.
"Okay, Uncle will do it for you tomorrow." Ye Qingcang didn't ask his niece what he was going to do, but his intuition told him.
At this moment, the woman standing in front of him, the clouds are light and breezy, and she has careful thoughts, and she seems to have a plan for Yiqiē and has a plan.
Just look at her clear obsidian-like eyes, like the warm breeze in spring, gently caressing his heart, making his restless, restless, fearful, worried heart, surprisingly slow to calm down.
Lin looked at Changqing, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, don't say a request, it's ten, a hundred, as long as we can do it, we will support it fully, Qing'er must remember that even if the entire Li Mansion collapses, our Ye family, Ye Guogong's Mansion is still here, here is your solid backing, and it is a hard harbor for you to implement your heart's plan." ”
"What your aunt said is the same as I thought, if Qing'er has anything to do, you must do it, just rest assured and bold to do it, and our entire Guogong Mansion will support you behind you." Ye Qingcang took a step forward, hugged his wife's slender waist, stood quietly in front of Li Changqing, said this sentence plainly but undoubtedly, looked at her, and waited for her to reply.
"Okay." Li Changqing couldn't say a word except for a good word, she knew that in front of them, even if she pretended to be Zaichengfu, they would see through it at a glance, just because there was a blood connection in it.
After talking for so long, Ye Qingcang's stomach rang coldly, and he touched his belly embarrassedly, and found that the sun was already shining outside, and it was time for lunch.
After eating, the Lin family took Li Changqing around the mansion, and then sent Li Changqing back to the Li mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, she was told by Fang Jue, the housekeeper who had been waiting by Li Rao's side for a long time, that she would go to the hall as soon as she came back.
Li Changqing didn't ask much, he wanted to take his aunt to Tingfeng Pavilion to sit, so he had to go with his aunt, after all, when he came to the Li Mansion, Mrs. Li still had to visit.
Following Fang Jue, he heard the words of the warblers in the hall from afar, so it was not lively.
Lin felt that Li Changqing's body was stunned, so he pulled her, gave her a look, and walked in.
The person who was talking, when he heard a crisp "Dad" like a nightingale behind him, immediately turned around, like the eyes of the eternal Qingtan, and saw the woman who had been waiting for a long time at a glance.
When Li Changqing saw this person, an inexplicable feeling of nausea suddenly rose in his heart, and he swept around in a blink of an eye, and saw Li Changxin holding his arm, and his heart was filled with nausea again, and he wanted to vomit for no reason.
Li Changqing blessed his body, lowered his cold gaze, took his aunt, and sat down beside him.
