He saw a piece of jade pendant, half a piece to be exact, with a dragon and a phoenix on one side, and a flower blooming on the other.

It is almost the same as the half that Emperor Xuantong carries on his body all the year round.

Or rather, the other half!

Emperor Xuantong secretly ordered him to investigate for many years, and it is said that the missing concubine was carrying another half of a jade pendant.

He breathed a sigh of relief, holding the jade pendant in disbelief: "This, where did it come from?" ”

"This is your mother's relic, and naturally it belongs to your mother."

Hearing this, Xue Jinian's heart was shocked, but he still forcibly asked: "Mother's old affairs, Ji Nian knows a lot, and I ask Mrs. Shi to tell me about it." ”

Master Miao chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and then said slowly: "Originally, I didn't know what was going on, but I always saw your mother looking at this jade pendant in a daze, and her mood was good and bad, so in order to relieve her, I asked her a thing or two. ”

Thinking of the woman who was crying in front of her, Mrs. Miao had tears in her eyes, and when she spoke again, her voice was completely different from the previous words: "Your mother's original name is Nian Qingrong, and she was an orphan girl adopted by the Nian family in Suzhou back then. The surname Xue was originally my common family name, and after I saved your mother, she borrowed my surname and changed her name in order to make a break with the past. Now, Master Xue will stop calling me Mrs. Shi, if you don't mind, just call your aunt. ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

Master Miao continued, "I know you can't accept it, but I also have a last resort. When your mother was dying, she told you not to tell you what she had come about. Maybe my cultivation is too shallow, and after so many years in this nunnery, I have never been able to overcome the hurdle in my heart. Speaking of this common family matter that has plagued her for more than 20 years, Miaoyuan Shitai subconsciously changed her name, and suddenly remembered that back then, she had just settled in Miaoyin Temple, and her life was miserable and could not be said.

As if anticipating what Miaoyuan Shitai would say next, Xue Jinian couldn't even breathe for a while. He coughed heart-rending at first, coughing so much that his brain was dizzy and his heart was constricted, and even the bottom of his eyes were crawling with bloodshots.

Seeing him like this, Master Miaoyuan was a little nervous: "How can your health be so bad?" ...... required"

Xue Jinian waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just an old illness, and this time I left Beijing, I went to seek medical treatment." He was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Please continue." ”

Master Miaoyuan sighed and whispered the Buddha's name again before continuing to tell: "Back then, when you followed your father-in-law, you were quite young, and you didn't have your parents by your side, so life must have been difficult. I couldn't bear it, and I never told you the truth. Now that you have grown up, there are some things that you don't say again, and I'm afraid you won't have a chance to say them in this life. ”

"Actually, there was another reason for your mother's death, the doctor said, it was because of the postpartum qi deficiency and anxiety that caused a cold and a death in the west. And the culprit of all this is the current queen! ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

At this time, Mrs. Miao no longer had the kind eyebrows and kind eyes at the beginning, and her eyebrows were full of hatred.

In the slow narration of Master Miao, Xue Jinian heard a completely different version of the story from Emperor Xuantong.

Xue Shaofen's original name was Nian Qingrong, an orphan girl adopted by the Nian family, and she was in love with the childhood sweetheart of the Nian family at that time.

Later, the Nian family moved to Shangjing, and had a close relationship with the Great Commander's Office at that time.

The eldest lady of the Grand Commander's Mansion fell in love with the son of the Nian family at first sight, so she took the opportunity to get close to Miss Nian Qingrong and became friends with her, often visiting her home last year.

After a long time, he saw that the young man had a good eye for his righteous sister, and he was jealous, so he resorted to means.

At that time, when Emperor Xuantong, who was still the Nine Emperors, followed the prince to congratulate the eldest commander on his birthday, he accidentally bumped into Nian Qingrong, who also went to the Grand Commander's Mansion with Nian Gongzi, and fell in love, so he stepped forward and set up almost, and he came back and forth, and also had contact with the Nian family.

Who knew that all this fell under Wen Wan's eyes, in order to get rid of her rival in love, she set up a seat in Biyun Villa outside the city, and invited the brothers and sisters of the Nian family and some other nobles in the name of banquet friends, including the Nine Emperor Princes.

Because it was a private banquet of the Great Commander's Mansion and the gentleness of the eldest lady, Nian Qingrong was unguarded and happily went with Nian Gongzi.

Who knows, Wen Wan concealed her troubles, and actually took advantage of the convenience to make a move in the tea, causing Nian Qingrong to roll the sheets with the Nine Emperor Princes in a state of confusion and lose her innocence.

Nian Qingrong was heartbroken and wanted to die, and she wanted to see her for a short time several times, but she was saved by Nian Gongzi.

At this time, Nian Qingrong also found out that she was pregnant, and she was terrified.

After Wen Wan found out, she pretended to come to comfort her, and communicated with the Nine Emperor Princes again.

The Nine Emperors did love Nian Qingrong at that time, but Nian Qingrong's status was low, and she was destined not to be a concubine.

Wen Wan tried her best to persuade Nian Qingrong in order to make Nian Gongzi die, saying that even if she couldn't be a concubine, with the love of the Nine Emperor Princes for her, it must be a good fate. 360 Literature Network

Nian Qingrong was pregnant unmarried, and she was destined to have no chance with Nian Gongzi, so she agreed to enter the prince's mansion when her heart died.

The story could have ended here, but who knew that things would have changed dramatically. Wen Wan fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother at a palace banquet, and the Queen Mother ordered someone to come to the Grand Commander's Mansion to find out, saying that the Holy Lord deliberately pointed out Wen Wan to the Nine Emperor Princes as concubines.

Although Wen Wan admired Nian Gongzi, compared with the glory and status of the family, she only thought about it for a night before agreeing to the marriage.

It's okay now, I was originally going to eliminate a rival in love, but I didn't expect to take the other party into the house with my own hands.

On the day of Wen Wan's wedding, it was the time when Nian Qingrong gave birth. In order to avoid the bloody atmosphere from colliding with the auspicious intention of the newlywed, Nian Qingrong was packed and sent out of the prince's mansion and gave birth to Xue Jinian in Beizhuang.

At this point, Nian Qingrong was disheartened, and also saw through the thin feelings of the Nine Emperors, and never returned to the Prince's Mansion after giving birth, but left with the child at night, escaped from Shangjing, and was finally taken in by Miaoyin Shitai and settled in Miaoyin Temple.

Throughout Nian Qingrong's life, if there was no gentle knife to snatch love, she and her brother-in-law Nian Gongzi would be a beautiful couple.

"And you will not be lonely without a father or mother for so many years, you will have a happy home, a pair of parents who love you and love you. Your mother said that the most sorry thing for her in this life is the Nian family, leaving the prince's mansion, she misses the days in the Nian family all the time, yes, she named you Ji Nian, in order to worry about her old warmth. ”

"Your mother is gentle by nature, and Zhou Zhengqing, the son of the young family, was originally a very good match, but she was forcibly broken up by gentleness! As long as I think of it, the Empress Wen in the palace who is praised as a gentle and virtuous mother is still alive and well, I ......"

Master Miao didn't say any more, her eyes were red, her right hand was slightly clenched into a fist against her chest, and she was almost speechless. I was distressed that Nian Qingrong was unladylike at a young age, and I was distressed that Xue Ji encountered ups and downs at a young age.

Xue Jinian clenched the half of the jade pendant in pain, his heart was like a cold current that passed through thousands of miles of ice, and his heart almost stopped.

Xue Jinian's eyes were dark, and he stumbled a few steps Peng hit the wooden cabinet with a bang, and he could barely stand.

Is he a prince? He turned out to be a prince!

Why? Why let him know this when he had already decided to give up everything?

No! He didn't believe it!

How can he believe that he and Hua shallow...... It's a half-brother and sister!

@@@

Hua Qian was sitting under the Bodhi tree, holding his cheeks and looking at the winding paths not far away, imagining that the young Xue Jinian was playing here, and his mother would probably be watching him not far away, with kind eyes. Xue Jinian is so good-looking, his mother must also be a great beauty.

It's just that in the nunnery, there must be no peers, then he must be very lonely, if only she had known him earlier.

But it doesn't matter, with her with him in the future, he will definitely not be lonely anymore.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xue Jinian rushing out of the back hall with a blue face.

Xue Jinian has always been calm, as if everything is being calculated, acting calmly, and has never been so out of shape.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't even let Hua Qian say hello to Master Miao, so he couldn't help but drag her out and go out.

Hua Qian didn't know why, while being dragged by him and stumbling away, he looked back frequently, it was okay to go in just now, was this a quarrel inside?

Xue Jinian's face was too ugly, Hua Qian didn't dare to ask, and he pulled her to leave Miaoyin Temple directly.

What's there to be noisy about? A big man, what's angry with a nun? is so angry, his face is white and blue, it's just terrifying.

Following Xue Jinian all the way forward, Hua Qian didn't ask anything, but when she passed by her carriage, she subconsciously sighed a few words, but when she saw that Xue Jinian didn't seem to hear it, she also stopped.

Anyway, there are nothing valuable in the car, so just throw it away.

But Xue Jinian's state made her very worried.

I don't know how long I walked, it was barren everywhere, and I didn't know where to go, Xue Jinian finally stopped.

Hua Qian tugged at his sleeve and asked carefully, "Not leaving?" ”
