Volume 2 The Dark Tide of the Silent Night Chapter 20 Killing Each Other

"Sister!" Zhu Yuxiao glared at her: "He is a gentleman, and it is an ancient rite for a gentleman not to see his wife, even if it is an important celebration, he can also look at it from a distance, where can he observe his heart." He muttered in a low voice: "I'm tired enough to just watch Li Taijun's dead wife every day." ”

Zhu Yutang couldn't help laughing: "It's my sister who only cares about Emperor Wen, but forgets the etiquette." ”

Zhu Yuxiao pondered for a moment: "But Mu Yunyou said that Emperor Wen is a smart person. I just don't know why I'm lazy in government and politics, I just like to drink tea and play chess, and it's several hours at a time. ”

Hearing these three words Mu Yunyou, Zhu Yutang looked at his sister and asked with infinite tenderness in his eyes: "Is he good to you?" ”

When Zhu Yuxiao heard her sister ask, her expression became gloomy.

"Well, he treated me very well. If it weren't for him, Li Taijun wouldn't have allowed me to live to this day. I... I can't live with him. The mother promised me that she would take me back as long as she poisoned Mu Yunyou for ten years, but when I entered the mansion, I found out that Li Taijun was a master of drug making. ”

Zhu Yutang couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "How can this be?" ”

Zhu Yuxiao put down the teacup and said while recalling: "Back then, there was a small country in the south of Cangwu Country, called Yinmu Country, which was full of wet forests and swamps, full of poisonous insects, and the locals were very good at making poison. After the country from Cangwu recruited the Yinmu country as a subject country, the Yinmu country paid tribute every year, and the two were at peace. Until a certain year, King Li Mo brought two princesses to pay tribute, and Emperor Qinwen gave a banquet to entertain him. During the feast, one of the ministers saw that the two princesses were young and beautiful, so he made a flirtation and was seen by the king. Yinmu Country was originally a land of Southern Barbarians, and Wang Hua had not yet been tamed, and the king regarded his daughter as a treasure, and he was also a drunkard, so he immediately pulled out his waist knife and stabbed the minister to death. There was a great chaos in the palace, and when the royal guards saw the king holding a sword in front of him, they immediately surrounded him. Li Mo was originally a warrior in the country, and he only ascended to the throne of king, and when he saw this posture, he desperately cut down several guards. I don't know which minister shouted, "Don't hurt the holy driver", and the soldiers rushed up, relying on the crowd to stab indiscriminately, chopping King Limo into pulp. ”

"It's unreasonable, it's unseemly! Did Master Muyun just look at it like that? Zhu Yutang's brows tightened when he heard this.

"It happened that Mu Yun's third division led the army to the north to attack the rest of the Chang clan in Zhangzhou, and he was not in the court. When Emperor Wen saw this situation, he was already frightened. I don't know which minister offered a plan, saying that the matter had been done and was irreparable, and the people of the Southern Barbarians were angry and heavy, and if they knew that their king had been killed, they would cause trouble. simply took advantage of the fact that the Yin Mu country was still defenseless, and in the name of Li Mo's plot to assassinate the saint, he quickly sent troops to the south, destroyed the country in one fell swoop, and included it in the territory of the Cangwu country, so as to prevent future troubles. Emperor Qin Wen was a person who had no idea, so he immediately agreed. Sent people to garrison 100,000 troops in the capital of Emperor Wanhua, and sent troops in the starry night, razing the Yin Mu country to the ground within three days. By the time the Taishi returned to the court, things had already passed, and the wood had already been completed. ”

Zhu Yuxiao sighed faintly and continued: "Poor two princesses, who were as carefree as you and me, suffered this misfortune overnight...... Emperor Qinwen destroyed the Yin Mu Kingdom, the people were not convinced, and the people in the south were in turmoil, so they had to come and ask Master Muyun what to do. The three brothers of Mu Yun went into the room to study ink again, and they studied for a long time before they came out. He said that if he wanted to appease the people, he had to make the eldest daughter of Limo a concubine, and promised that if he had an heir in the future, he would be made the prince. In this way, the bloodline of the Yin Mu Kingdom can enter the emperor, and those old people will no longer have the reputation of rebellion in the future. When Emperor Qinwen heard that he was just setting up a concubine, he agreed and married Li Mo's eldest daughter as his wife, and saw that Mu Yunduo happened to have no marriage match, so he pointed out the second daughter to Mu Yunduo, and he also wanted to connect the two families to win over Mu Yunduo. So my sister became Concubine Jing, and my sister became Li Taijun. ”

Zhu Yuyu sighed: "I didn't know that there was such a reason, no wonder Li Taijun is a master of drug making, it was her ancestor's craft." ”

Zhu Yuxiao smiled: "Sister still doesn't know, the venom of the Poison Gold War back then was still the recipe that Mu Yunduo asked Li Taijun to concoct, and then sent someone to give it to our Bihai Kingdom." ”

Zhu Yutang thought of the battle of poison gold, Imuran's 120,000 iron armor disintegrated in just ten days, which shows the ruthlessness of the poison, even after decades, I still have a chill on my back when I think of it. But Li Taijun is so drug-sensitive, how can his sister succeed. I can't help but ask again:

"With such a dangerous person on her side, my sister is really good at being able to poison?"

"No matter how much Li Taijun knows about drugs, how can he match my Zhu family's thoughts." Zhu Yuxiao is still disdainful.

"Well, my mother's mind is really unmatched. I know that my mother has passed on some methods to you, but I don't know what it is? This mystery in Zhu Yutang's heart has been buried for decades, and he is not unhappy.

"Fish."

Zhu Yuxiao said softly, but exhaled heavily. It was as if the burden had been lifted for the first time in decades.

Zhu Yutang sighed: "It turns out that this is the case, my mother is so powerful." These secrets concerning my blue sea and national fortune have been used as a strategy to teach you. I can't do it! ”

Zhu Yuxiao nodded and said, "Yes." The fish is something that can be caught everywhere in my Bihai country, and the people of Bihai have eaten it since ancient times, and no one would have thought that this fish would be poisonous. The ancestors of the founding of the country have been thinking hard about why all the men in the blue sea died early, but the women lived a long life. It just so happened that the ancestors loved cats, and occasionally fed the catfish, and found that the female cat was in good spirits after eating, but the male cat died in just a few months. Finally, it was discovered that the mackerel is really a poisonous thing, but the woman eats it to be strong and healthy, and the man eats it but loses his spirit. The ancestor also thought about ordering a ban on eating this fish, but found that the Bihai people had eaten the fish for more than a thousand years, and the residual poison had been passed down from generation to generation in the body, and it was the same whether they ate it or not, so they sealed this secret. Originally, this secret was only passed on to the emperor, and even I shouldn't know it, so I told it in order to poison the Mu Yun clan. ”

"Exactly. When my mother told me, I was also very surprised, and my mother said that the reason why Lu Xingyuan was able to live so long was because he was originally from Imuran, and he was not fishy, and he rarely even ate fish. It dawned on me. Otherwise, where can I think of this reason, think about you and I love to eat catfish since I was a child, and I don't eat for three days, so I think about it very much, it's really a creation and a trick. Zhu Yutang sighed.

"When I arrived at Mu Yun's house, my mother sent people to bring all kinds of fresh fish every month, and there was also the fish. Mu Yunyou is not like a man in our Bihai Country, he doesn't like to eat fishy, so I steamed it and fed him, for a few years, there was nothing unusual, and I was anxious to send someone to ask my mother. My mother passed on my recipe for the Xianyun Five-Flavor Dish, and my mother said that in fact, the four dishes of green orange cinnamon powder are all hidden from people's eyes, and only the plate of peppers will make the toxicity attack faster. But even so, it took twenty-four years......"

Zhu Yuxiao sighed, I don't know if it took too long, or because I sighed that Yunyou died in a mess. Then he said: "Li Taijun saw that I was eating and drinking together, and he was still not at ease, in order to protect his son's safety, he tasted the same, but after eating the Xianyun Five-Flavor Plate, he was refreshed, and there was nothing suspicious, so he could only give up." Zhu Yuxiao raised the teacup and took a sip.

"Doesn't he still have a brother Mu Yunzuo, why is he okay?"

"Mu Yun's house is not divided into houses, he usually eats in his own house, and occasionally wants to come over, so I will first ask people to remove the Xianyun Five Flavor Plate. It's just that I happened to bump into it and ate it a few times, and it was no big deal, Mu Yunyou ate it every month, didn't he die after twenty-four years. ”

When the tea was finished, Zhu Yuxiao poured herself another cup. Those who should return to the Ming Emperor have all been restored. Then it was her turn to ask.

In the past twenty-four years, the only thing she has done is to poison someone. And the purpose is only for another person.

Zhu Yutang saw her sister pouring herself a drink, and knew that she finally wanted to talk about it, so she put down the teacup, broke the orange with her hand, and waited for her to speak.

Zhu Yuxiao drank a cup of tea before he smiled bitterly: "He...... After all, I'm still dead. Also, it's been twenty-four years, and even if his mother hadn't killed him, he would be almost old and dead now. ”

Zhu Yutang nodded: "It would be great if you could think like this." Although I went to Chuzhou for my mother to inspect at that time, everything was my mother's case, and I never saw it in person. After I came back, I also carefully read the file, and the human and material evidence were all there. You know, when my blue sea was able to unite as a country, it was because of the unified measurement of my ancestors and the trust of the world. He used the position of the head of the household department to change the measurement, resulting in the difference in the quality of the gold ingot, which is an unforgivable sin, and I have nothing to do. ”

"But sister, do you believe that Zhao Lang would do that? With the art of contemplation of the mind of you and me, have you ever observed that he has half a fly in his heart? Are we all wrong? Zhu Yuxiao's words have obviously been asked thousands of times in her heart.

"Perhaps...... Maybe people change. After all, you've been away for so many years, and I'm busy with politics. Although Zhao Yu had a clean heart, he eventually strayed into the quagmire. Zhu Yutang could only comfort each other gently.

"I don't believe it! Do you know that someone is to blame Zhao Lang for this matter? Zhu Yuxiao raised her eyebrows and looked angry.

"Even if you don't believe in others, don't you believe in your mother? She has been the emperor all her life, except for the Jinshan strategy and suffered a loss from the Mu Yun clan, has she ever misjudged one thing?! After Zhu Yutang finished speaking, he lowered his tone again, and persuaded him bitterly: "I know you are sad, but as you said, even if your mother didn't kill him, he is now a person who is close to his longevity, and he can't be married to you again, so why should you continue to be entangled and ask for trouble." ”

Zhu Yuxiao and her entourage burst into tears, recalling the past, but there was a smile on their faces: "I think that at the beginning, my mother Yufang Palace gave you a banquet and asked you to hand the wine to Lu Wenjun, but let me do it at will." I felt very happy at that time, I felt a hundred times happier than you, I could choose the person I liked, and you could only choose what your mother gave you. I took the wine and handed it to him, and he looked at me with joy. We are such a happy couple, we should be a carefree couple. Who knew that Mu Yunduo came to Bihai with his two sons and Ye Zhiqiu, and his mother suddenly changed her mind and asked me to marry Na Mu Yunyou. I wanted to resist him to the death, but my mother said that as long as Mu Yunyou died, she would take me back to marry him as soon as he died, and she also specially mentioned him as a household secretary, which made me happy. I was so happy when I saw that he had received the post of household department, so I agreed to my mother ruthlessly, but I didn't know that this time I would be twenty-four years......"

Zhu Yuxiao gently wiped away a line of tears as she spoke, and immediately another line flowed down and stacked on the tear stains. She choked up:

"Sister, do you know? He told me that the person he admired most was his mother, who was wise, resourceful, and proficient in arithmetic. I still laugh at him, a big man, but he always likes to do things that divide the pound and divide the two. But he retorted with a straight face and said, you don't know, your ancestors relied on splitting two pounds to set aside a blue sea country, and you dare to underestimate it. He also said that if he could settle every account for our Zhu family all the time in the household department, like the ancestors back then, it would be enough for his life. How could such a person do those dirty things? In the end, it turned out to be his most admired mother, who killed him! After speaking, he couldn't help but lie on the stone table and cry loudly.

Zhu Yutang expected that she would definitely have a seizure today, so she could only persuade her with good words.

"People are already dead, and it will be better for my sister to cry." As he spoke, he gently stroked Zhu Yuxiao's shoulder. Zhu Yuxiao suddenly stopped crying, raised her head to look at her sister and said, "What my sister said is that people are also dead." So far, I only ask my sister for one thing. ”

"What?"

"I hope my sister will tell me where he is buried." Zhu Yuxiao's eyes were full of pleading.

Zhu Yutang looked embarrassed and said: "My mother was very angry at the time, and made a decree that no words should be engraved on the tombstone after death, and I don't even know where to be buried. You also know her mother's temperament, and the embezzlement of the treasury is the most taboo thing for her......"

Zhu Yuxiao was silent, and her sister didn't lie to her. Her mother's heart is ten times more ruthless than her sister's, and she has always been calculating, filling her pockets under her nose, and the thing that has no monument after death is also very much like what she can do. It's just that I thought that after twenty-four years of boiling, I couldn't even see a tomb, so I couldn't help but feel sad and wept bitterly.

Zhu Yutang could only sit silently next to her and cry, crying until the sun sank in the west and the clouds were dark, and then patted her and said: "I have ordered someone to clean up your Qinghui Palace, not far from my Laiyi Palace, come and talk to me when you are free," and thought for a while: "It seems that you have a maid named Xiaobei close to you, and this time I came back with their mission, and Ling Er said that she lived with her temporarily." Now that you're back, let her still come back to serve you, so that you don't even have a familiar subordinate in front of you. ”

Zhu Yuxiao listened, nodded and said: "Xiaobei, this girl has suffered a lot with me over the years, and this time I got out with the mission, and thanks to her staying behind, Li Chongyan didn't make them suspicious." ”

"Then you have to reward her!" Zhu Yutang was possessed by Emperor Ming in an instant, not the appearance of that gentle sister.

Zhu Yutang watched the Qibao incense car leave the Shuangquan Pavilion, slowly untied the purple robe, put on the majestic Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Purple Gold Crown again, and sat silently for a long time.

Zhu Yuxiao also sat silently in the car, watching the palaces and pavilions on the island flickering in the trees, with the same sad face. The mother's will has locked the two sisters for decades, and now the mother is long gone, but she is still powerful and breathless.

The car left Taiying Island, and was just about to enter the Yongjin Gate, and a car came from the other side of the road to get in. As soon as the person in the car saw Zhu Yuxiao's car, he immediately got out of the car and walked to the window, and said respectfully: "My daughter visits the mother." ”

Zhu Yuxiao was stunned, and guessed that the person was mistaken when he saw that he was sitting in his sister's car, and the royal gold medal was hung in front of the car. She lifted the curtain and saw a very beautiful face, so she asked, "I am not your mother, you are ...... Ling'er? Still is... Jie'er? ”

Zhu Zhijie saw that she was not her mother, but she looked very similar to her mother. Remembering that my mother told me yesterday that my aunt would return to China soon, I immediately understood. He bowed again: "Jie'er didn't know that her aunt was in the car and recognized the wrong person." ”

Zhu Yuxiao got out of the car, took Zhu Zhijie's hand, looked at it carefully, and said while watching: "It's really similar, very similar." ”

Zhu Zhijie guessed that she was like her father, and she could only stare at her. She has always heard of this aunt, and she married the Muyun clan of Cangwu Kingdom, but it is the first time she wants to meet her.

"My aunt and the mother look alike, and even their voices are somewhat similar." Zhu Zhijie also said with a smile.

"Biological sister, where is there anything that is not like it." Zhu Yuxiao laughed, and unconsciously took a closer look with the technique of contemplating the mind, and found that this little girl's heart was like a mirror, very pure.

"Even the look at me looks very similar." Zhu Zhijie smiled again.

Zhu Yuxiao chuckled in her heart, and secretly thought, she didn't know that I was looking at her with the technique of contemplating the mind, and my sister didn't pass on this to her. Immediately changed the subject and asked, "Jie'er, where do you live?" ”

Zhu Zhijie replied: "I live in Qinglian Palace, where does my aunt live?" ”

"I still live in my Qinghui Palace, it's a little far away......" Speaking of this, Zhu Yuxiao suddenly understood.

I see...... Sister, you still can't forget Lu Wenjun, even if he has been dead for so many years, you still can't forget it. This child looks so similar to Lu Wenjun, so I don't want to see this child, so I put her in Qinglian Palace so far away. The art of contemplation must be passed on from face to face, and you don't even want to see her face, so you didn't pass it on to her......

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuxiao couldn't help but feel compassion and said, "If you are not too far away, you can often come to me to sit here, or...... It's okay for me to go to you. ”

Zhu Zhijie's face suddenly brightened: "Really? Auntie, can I go see you? No... Wouldn't it bother my aunt too much? Zhu Zhijie actually wanted to ask this question since just now.

This aunt looks very similar to the mother queen, but she doesn't hate herself at all, and being with her is a little ...... The same feeling as being with my mother, a feeling that I have been longing for for many years, although not exactly the same, but ...... That's enough...... That's enough.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhijie almost burst into tears, and said busily: "Auntie, don't worry, I won't always come, I won't always come to bother my aunt." Does my aunt have a habit of sleeping at noon? Or...... I'm coming in the evening? ”

Zhu Yuxiao was moved, patted her hand and said, "Child, you can come whenever you want, my aunt is waiting for you." ”

The two princesses, who had no desire and no quarrel, saw each other very happily at this time, but how could they have expected that the person standing in front of each other would seem to have been exchanged by the gods for their fate in the future, and they had completed the halfway escape road for themselves.
