Chapter 12: Father, I hurt my right hand that was engraved
A few months before Emperor Xia's long life, there was good news that the Li family was defeated against the king and accepted the surrender.
The King of Qin escorted the anti-king class teacher back to the dynasty, which was a happy event of winning the battle, but the people in the East Palace were unhappy and not very interested. Xiao Er asked Nan Mingyu the reason, and the answer he got was because it was the Nine Emperor Uncle who won the battle.
The confrontation between the East Palace and the King of Qin has even taken the juniors as a boundary.
On this day, Xiao Er was chatting with Nan Mingyu, and Xiao Er said: "Since the concubine Niangniang was punished before beating the moon, although the rumors have stopped for a while, there are still many people talking about my child's ambition in private, and my sister has been offended. Xiao Er paused, and half-jokingly tentatively said: "If there is a ...... next time"
Nan Mingyu held Xiao Er's hand and said, "There will be no next time!" Even if you do, you are my sister who grew up, and my sister will always believe in you! ”
Nan Mingyu's expression was complicated, and he said, "What the mother concubine did in the past, you haven't let go, right?" ”
"In my sister's opinion, I shouldn't have any guilt?"
Nan Mingyu shook his head and said, "Although the mother concubine is from everyone, you have also seen so many Liangdi ladies in the East Palace. She hurt her body when she gave birth to me in her early years, and it was difficult to get pregnant. I thought that the backyard was full of children, but it has been childless for many years. Unexpectedly, a princess Longxi appeared in the sky later. The mother concubine was not at fault, but she was almost given death by Dayan and her father. If it weren't for the mediation of the Xu family, it would have been reduced to a side room, and now it ...... But even the Xu family couldn't do anything about the bullying after that. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of marrying anyone, but I can't worry about my mother. ”
"So you know all the things that do?"
Nan Mingyu said: "Yes, but I didn't stop it, this is my selfishness, I have already done something sorry for my sister once." Whether she forgives me or not, whether she wants to be a sister to me or not, I will do my best to make amends to her. ”
Xiao Er saw through the truth and struggle in Nan Mingyi's eyes, and said in his heart, you are very good to me, I can feel sincere, but do you really not know that your mother wants my life to end the trouble?
Xiao Er lowered his eyes, covered his complicated emotions under his eyes, and said, "Sister, thank you." ”
When Nan Mingyu heard this, he burst out laughing, touched Xiao Er's head with his head, and said, "Stupid or not, we are sisters." Wait a minute! Xiao Er forgive me? ”
"I like my sister very much."
The person who is truly qualified to forgive is no longer there...... The only thing I can do is not to take the initiative to hurt the people who used to treat her sincerely......
Nan Mingyu pinched Xiao Er's little fleshy face and said, "Little slippery head." By the way, I heard that you have been very close to Mr. Yan during this time? Xiao Er, don't get me wrong, I just heard from my mother that this Mr. Yan doesn't seem to be a decent person, and he doesn't know how many guests he is, and he is a foreign man......"
Xiao Er chuckled and said, "If my sister says this, Mr. Yan will be cold." Changed the topic and said: "Don't always talk about me, I heard that the side concubine Niangniang is already planning the marriage with the Ye family for you?" ”
The Eight Pillars of Southern Xia all held military power, and their strength was headed by their maternal ancestor Fu family, and the Gongye family of Guangling County was the last. That Lord Ye has a pair of children, and his son Ye Xiao is still the Taishou of Lucheng.
"It's still early." Nan Ming's eyebrows were dyed with a touch of worry, and he said, "After all...... Uncle Nine Emperor is about to return to Beijing. I heard that he pacified the last anti-king of Southern Xia all the way, and surrendered the long-entrenched Li family, and now the emperor's grandfather is happy. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Nan Mingjia suddenly break into the palace with a lot of stout eunuchs and palace maids. Seeing Xiao Er, he raised his index finger and said triumphantly: "Take her down." ”
A few palace maids immediately stepped forward to take someone.
Nan Mingyu jumped out, protected in front of Xiao Er, and scolded: "Third sister! Do you dare to take someone in front of me? ”
Nan Mingjia rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "The sky is blue and the sun is white, why does the eldest sister spew blood?" The second sister went out without permission many times during the grounding, and regarded her father's majesty as nothing, but my sister and I had all the human and material evidence in my hands. I, a filial daughter, naturally want to take her to meet my father! ”
Nan Mingyu knew that he was at a loss, and he was short of words for a while, and his body trembled a little, but he still did not back down.
Seeing this, Nan Mingjia snorted lightly, and said reluctantly: "The second sister can hide it for so long when she goes out, there must be many accomplices. You should think about how you will explain to your father. ”
Xiao Er patted Nan Mingyu gently, stood up, and said, "Third sister, leave a line in everything, and see you in the future." As sisters, do you really want to do this amazingly? ”
Nan Mingjia was disgusted when he heard this, spat hard, and scolded: "Phew! You fox charm didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into the fourth brother, but he asked him to identify me for stepping on the injury, so that I was punished for copying the "Palace Rules" a hundred times. Spare you? Let's go in the next life! Take it with me! ”
said that the first cadre didn't wait for Xiao Er to speak, and escorted people to the Changchun Palace.
Along the way, Xiao Er's expression was as usual, which made Nan Mingjia, who wanted to vent his evil anger, even more unhappy.
In the hall of Concubine Xu in the East Palace, it is also very lively at the moment. The prince, Concubine Xu, Nan Mingde, and Yan Qingxun are all there.
Nan Mingjia, who was anxious to invite credit, hurriedly shook the matter as soon as he arrived at the palace. didn't notice at all that Nan Mingde, who was also kneeling below at the moment, had an extremely gloomy face, just as if he had come to ask for peace as usual.
After speaking, his eyebrows flew and he said, "Please ask my father to decide." ”
The prince's expression was gloomy, he pressed his temples, turned his head to look at Xiao Er, and saw people kneeling aside with a smile, and his heart "chuckled". I had to look at Nan Mingjia and said, "What do you want?" ”
Nan Mingjia sneered: "If you commit the crime of disrespect to the prince, you should be executed, and the rest of the accomplices can't be spared." ”
When Nan Mingyu heard this, he kowtowed in a cold sweat and said, "Father is angry, this matter is ...... The daughter was also involved and deserved to be punished. But Xiao Er was young and ignorant, and he didn't know how powerful it was, so he begged his father to spare her life. ”
Nan Mingjia immediately sarcastically said: "Look at the eldest sister's protectiveness, it's strange that the second sister dares to take her father in her eyes like this." ”
Nan Mingyu frowned lightly and said angrily: "Presumptuous! Are you forcing your father to execute his daughter for a trivial matter? If it spreads, won't my father become a tyrant worthy of the ruin? ”
"Heh, my sister can't afford this crime. Returning to his father, the second sister has usurped the prince several times, shouldn't she be executed? ”
Xiao Er raised his eyebrows and said, "Third sister, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”
Nan Mingjia felt that the evidence was conclusive, and said righteously: "Father, such a calamity cannot be left for a long time. Thinking that she is the daughter of the prince, not only has she violated the palace rules five times, but even practiced with a cadre of soldiers and gambled with the guards of the side hall, not to mention the daughter of the prince, even the daughter of an ordinary family should not do such a thing that violates the honor. Such wicked women who have ruined the reputation of the East Palace deserve to be ......"
Xiao Er yawned, looked at her impassionedly and talked endlessly, and thought, I even know about my gambling money, you really care. It's really a person who wants to die, and he can't stop it.
The prince was already impatient when he heard it, but seeing that Xiao Er never expressed his position, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions, he had to repeat again: "What do you want?" ”
Nan Mingjia was about to speak, but finally felt that the prince's face was wrong, and he was confused and frightened in his heart, and said in astonishment: "Father? ”
The prince reprimanded with a calm face: "Lone has long heard of your pampering and arrogance, and I don't want to be vicious, so I want to put my flesh and blood relatives to death." Little two, what you want to do with it, it's up to you. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, she smiled softly and kowtowed: "My daughter thinks that what the third sister said before is very reasonable. ”
Nan Mingjia and Nan Mingde suddenly raised their heads at the same time and looked at the prince. Xu Huaiyi shook her head secretly and continued to fiddle with her long nails.
Nan Mingde reacted first, and immediately knelt down and stepped forward and said, "Father, the third sister is not guilty to death!" Have you forgotten how much joy the third sister brought to you in the past? She grew up watching her little by little! ”
The prince was silent, his face gloomy.
"When you were a child, when you went to the court, the third sister waited for you at the door until you came back. When she was five years old, she went to Mrs. Ye's birthday banquet, and before leaving, she didn't forget to stuff a few lychees in her arms, just because she thought that you liked to eat it and wanted to bring it back for you to taste. ”
Nan Mingjia realized that there was something strange in it, and his eyes were also red, he held back his tears, knelt forward, and looked at the prince without daring to make a sound.
After saying that, Nan Mingde immediately kowtowed a few times and said: "Even if this matter is impulsive and ignorant, in the final analysis, I want to share my father's worries, please spare her life." ”
Xiao Er sighed in his heart, don't say that this old four heart is not right, it hurts my sister a lot. I have crossed the river with mud bodhisattvas, and I still have the leisure to kowtow for my half-sister.
At this time, neither the prince nor Xiao Er spoke.
It was clear that the crown prince did not want to put the daughter to death.
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Father, my daughter is not interested in killing people and setting fires. Let her keep the third sister's life. ”
Seeing that there was still room for change in the matter, the prince instantly smiled and shouted: "Evil obstacles, don't you thank the second sister for knowing the righteousness?" ”
Xiao Er waved his hand to stop: "Father, slow down, my daughter hasn't finished talking yet." ”
He moved his left and right hands one after another, and continued: "She provoked and hurt people in the front, and maliciously made false accusations in the back, if she didn't suffer a little hardship and teach a lesson, wouldn't everyone in the East Palace dare to ride on my head to make a fortune?" Although she stepped on me twice, my daughter is not a greedy person, so I asked her for a hand. ”
Hearing this, the crown prince immediately frowned.
Nan Mingjia turned his head and scolded Xiao Er: "Phew! What are you! Father will not listen to you......"
"Smack!"
Before he finished speaking, Nan Mingjia was slapped to the ground by the pale-faced prince. The crisp slap echoed in the hall, and everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to make a sound, only the angry prince said coldly to Xiao Er: "The third sister is your sister, a family that breaks bones and tendons." Now that she has known her mistake, if she is left with a defect, how will she marry in the future? ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he said in his heart, heh, when she stepped on me, I didn't see her care about blood and family, I am a natural grudge, whoever dares to step on me will definitely double the reward!
Xiao Er's smile deepened and said, "How dare a daughter coerce her father? It's just that my right arm, which was trampled on, is afraid that I can't hold a knife in this life, and I can't carve words. ”
The prince took a deep breath, as if he couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was really so ruthless!
When Nan Mingde heard this, he knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and his eyes were about to split: "Father! You can't be threatened by her! ”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Nan Mingjia became more and more bottomless, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Father, are you ...... Want to cut off your daughter's hand? ”
Seeing that the prince's expression seemed to move, Yan Qingxun said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, the overall situation is important. ”
After that, he added: "This is not a threat, but a minimum of respect for Baume & Mercier." The second daughter-in-law is already very merciful, if Yan is a fellow in Lingyuan Valley, I am afraid that he will die......"
The sound of pleading, exhortation, and persecution that filled the prince's ears suddenly became as far away as the horizon, and at last he only heard his own voice say, "Bring me the sword!" ”
When Nan Mingyu heard this, his face was already as white as snow, and he shrank into a ball and didn't dare to raise his head.
Xiao Er glanced at Nan Mingde, and suddenly had a plan, and shouted: "Wait!" ”
The prince finally did a good job of psychological construction, and said impatiently: "What else are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Er said: "How dare you bother your father with such bloody and filthy things? I see that their sister and brother are deeply affectionate, why don't the fourth brother wield the knife himself? It's also good to start with a tap. ”
Nan Mingde immediately stood up in shock, and pointed at Xiao Er angrily: "You!! ”
The prince secretly gritted his teeth and turned his head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
So, several guards immediately stepped forward to hold Nan Mingjia and presented a bright knife at the same time.
Nan Mingjia struggled desperately and cried, but to no avail.
I saw that Nan Mingde's face was solemn, and after a few hesitations, he still picked up the knife.
"Ahhhhhh
With a terrible scream, the knife fell!
A bloody arm was chopped to the ground, blood foaming everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Mingjia was dragged away by the guards all the way wailing, she was in pain and anger, and she couldn't understand why her father had always loved her, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person? It's strange and scary!
Nan Mingde knelt on the ground, his hand clenching the dagger, trembling and panting.
The crown prince walked over, kicked Nan Mingde on the ground, and said coldly: "As for this evil obstacle - his mother's side concubine Wei is the princess of the previous dynasty, and it is related to the attitude of the old ministers of the previous dynasty. Replaying the thirty boards, thinking about it behind closed doors, what do you think? ”
Xiao Erguan looked very annoyed, and it was not good to ask for more, and said: "Everything depends on my father." ”
The crown prince gave Concubine Xu a look and motioned for her to deal with the aftermath. looked at the mess in the hall, and said weakly: "It's all scattered." Xiao Er and Mr. Yan came with Lonely. ”
After a few people left, Concubine Xu began to beat the aftermath with relief. Seeing that Nan Mingyu still didn't look like he had come back to his senses, he looked at the bloodstains on the ground, knocked on her head angrily, and said, "I told you to leave it alone, and now I can see the true face of people." ”
Nan Mingyu was beaten so that his eyes were red: "Mother, why does my father suddenly hurt Xiao Er so much?" And Xiao Er, how to ...... How to ......"
Xu Huaiyi sneered: "Your good sister offers advice to His Highness to deal with King Qin." The son born to Weihu Meizi saw his heart and took it for himself, not wanting to be a fake that was dropped, and almost ruined His Highness's major event at a critical time. If Mr. Yan hadn't turned the tide, he wouldn't have been able to pull out today's disaster. ”
Nan Mingyu took a sharp breath and exclaimed, "What? Is that book really engraved by Xiao Er? How so? ”
"How could it not, what can't a demon do? This matter is guaranteed by Yan Qingxun's death. Looking at the appearance of the two today, I am afraid that they will have a friendship early, and they deliberately set a trap to lure people to the bait. After that, Xu Huaiyi poked Nan Mingyi's head and said, "You stupid child treats people as sisters with her heart and lungs, has she ever told you half a sentence?" Let's have a long snack......"
Nan Mingyu bit her pale lip and wanted to defend herself, but every time the words came to her mouth, she would think of the appearance of the woman who could still smile when she looked at the bloody scene.
Even if the third sister is arrogant, there is a big mistake in this matter, but taking away someone else's hand lightly is really cold and ruthless, and it is chilling!
"Say no more!"
Nan Mingyu was depressed and painful in his heart, drank to stop Xu Huaiyi's words, and ran out of the hall in a trance.
This move directly made Xu Huaiyi tremble with anger.
