Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Truth
Jiang Mo did not go back to the Protector Mansion directly, but walked along the street unconsciously to the door of the Shangshu Mansion.
At the beginning, it was the most prosperous house in Beijing, and today it has become the residence of the imperial history, but the imperial history is a four-grade imperial history in the palace, and it is also a subordinate of Huan.
The prosperity of the past is gone, and only endless desolation remains.
Jiangmo stood in front of the door and watched for a long time, until her legs were sore, and the tears in her eyes fell one by one, and she didn't realize it, like a clay sculpture and wood carving.
It used to be her home, and now it's like this.
And at this moment, I saw a man dressed as a beggar, with a rickety figure and a cane, standing in front of the house gate and taking a look, and then left without hurry.
Jiang Mo suddenly remembered that day in front of the cemetery, Huan Yu ordered someone to smash the bones of her relatives, and the only person standing in the crowd crying bitterly was the person in front of her, and she subconsciously chased after it.
She knew the cane, even if it was just an ordinary branch. Because she has a good memory, she can remember it clearly after reading it.
The man walked very slowly, until he came into a narrow alley, and then slowly stopped, as if waiting for her deliberately.
Jiang Mo walked over and stood in front of him all of a sudden, and then he saw the man's face clearly, and almost called out the man's name.
If she had two mentors in her last life, except for He Queyan, she was the one in front of her.
This person is his father's former life-saving benefactor, and before he met his father, he was a warlock in the rivers and lakes, who knew both medical skills and astronomy and geography, and was even very good at poetry and songs.
This person is Zhu Yuan, when her father was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread, he came to help, and later he was the guest secretary of his Shangshu Mansion, and his father also discussed with him on major matters in the court.
I'm afraid that Shangshu Mansion will be destroyed, and he will not be able to protect himself, but the person with clear bones and handsome appearance at the beginning is now embarrassed, but at the age of forty, he is also full of silver hair, and on his black face, Jiang Mo also recognized his face after a long time.
Jiang Mo held back the tears in his heart, reached out and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and put them in the man's broken bowl, thinking that these silver would allow him to live a peaceful life for a while.
However, Zhu Yuan's gaze did not show any expression, and he didn't even look at the stack of silver tickets, but said in a faint voice, "Green Kite girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
In an instant, Jiang Mo seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning, and even his back was cold, and he looked at the man in front of him with a wary face.
"Wrong, wrong, not for long, but only two months." Zhu Yuan's was a little mysterious, "Are you okay in the Protector Mansion for the past two months?" ”
Jiang Mo quickly regained his composure, a pair of dark eyes looked straight at him, and his tone suddenly became cold, "You did all this?" Who are you? ”
Zhu Yuan's face was obscure in the night, and he smiled faintly for a long time, "This matter is a long story, and the young kite girl is willing to listen, so I will tell you in detail." ”
In the empty alley, only the cold wind blew on the cheeks of the ink, like a sharp blade, and there was no rest for a moment.
"Seven years ago, during the Qixi Festival, when the girl left the house, I also quietly followed behind, and I have seen what happened to you, but I can't save it." Zhu Yuan looked at Jiang Mo, whose face was pale in front of him, and then said: "It's just that when I went in, you were committing suicide, and when I rescued you, you only had one breath to breathe, I knew that you wanted to save your reputation, but I was really helpless, so I fed you to death." ”
That death escape is Zhu Yuan made fake death medicine, after eating it, it was like death, and he didn't even have breath, but he had to be fed with rice soup every day, otherwise he could only starve to death, but there was no antidote at that time, and no one dared to eat it.
"When the prince saw that you were dead, he asked his servants to throw you down the mountain, and you fell down as if you had stumbled. And the girl is blessed with a great life, although she broke the bones of her body, but her life is fine, but your face has been scratched by a branch, and you can no longer use it. I dug a new grave next to Tantuo Temple, and after letting the wild beasts eat it, I disguised it as the girl's body. ”
"The girl has been sleeping for seven years, and she only hates me for traveling all over the country, looking for famous doctors in the world, before I find the antidote." After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he coughed, and it took a long time to stop, "Because I was in a hurry, I sent you to the bed of Xiao Gongzi Huan without waiting to tell you everything." ”
"Why are you doing this?" There was grief in Jiangmo's eyes that could not be concealed, "My father knows the cause of my death. ”
"When Lord Shangshu learned of the cause of your death, he was overwhelmed with grief and sent a letter to the emperor, reprimanding the prince for his absurdity and wanting to abolish the prince. But Feng Ying betrayed Lord Shangshu and took refuge with the prince. Zhu Yuan said, his face was already full of anger.
Jiang Mo smiled coldly, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, that Feng Ying was the father of Mrs. Feng of the Protectorate Mansion, who was friendly with his father at the beginning, but he didn't expect to stab his father in the back.
"The prince jumped over the wall in a hurry, united with the protector of the country and the current Wen family Feng family, planted Niangniang in the harem to poison the first emperor, forced Niangniang to commit suicide in Fengluan Palace, and then Huan Yu personally wrote a book, saying that Lord Shangshu rebelled."
At that time, the first emperor and the concubine were more affectionate than Jin, although the first emperor did not believe that his beloved concubine would murder him, but he couldn't save her.
Although Jiang Mo had already heard about it, his cheeks were still as white as snow, and he said after a long time, "Yes, at that time, the first emperor had become an empty shelf, and everyone was supporting the prince, even if the first emperor had the heart, he couldn't save his father." ”
Why did my father become angry? Obviously, he is a corporal, and he is praised by others...... "Jiangmo's heart is like a knife, if she is here, you can think about it, what can she do if she is there, she is full of poetry and books, what is the use, but she is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken."
"It's because Lord Shangshu is bent on promoting the new policy and wants to change the law, which touches the rights of those people, so the adults rebel and leave." Zhu Yuan said helplessly, "After Niangniang went, the adults knew that they were in a catastrophe, so they explained that when you woke up one day, you would support the new monarch and implement the new policy." ”
Jiangmo's tears fell like rolling melons, she knew that her father was bent on launching new policies, but she had also persuaded her father that those new policies would make those royal relatives and nobles dissatisfied, and would offend everyone, but her father still had to do so.
"Those volumes are in the dark compartment of the master's study, only the girl can find them, and there are also the letters left by the master, you will understand it when you read it."
The sky gradually darkened, and I faintly saw the stars in the sky. But the tears in her eyes had covered everything, and she couldn't see anything.
"The master of this face, what's wrong?" Jiangmo's voice was slow, "Are you dead?" ”
"This girl named Jiangmo hanged herself that night after being sold into the Qinglou, so I found someone to dress up as her, to get close to Huan Yi, and then changed her face to the girl personally."
Jiangmo quickly understood, no wonder he woke up on Huan Yi's bed that day, why Xuan'er said that she used to wear heavy makeup, and it turned out that the tanuki had changed to the prince.
Zhu Yuan's skills are known to Jiangmo, she once saw him peel off the skin of one cat and replace it with another, and his background is a mystery, even her father does not know.
"What is your purpose, and why are you going to such great lengths to help me?" Jiang Mo stared at him coldly, full of vigilance.
"Lord Shangshu treats me with the grace of knowing things, which is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and it is incumbent on me." Zhu Yuan did not shy away from carrying the silver ticket in the bowl in his arms, "The wild goose returned to the building and went three miles to the west, there is a deserted mansion, and there is a banana tree in front of the door, if the girl has anything, just go to me." If the owner is going to change hands today, I wish the girl all the best. ”
****************
When Jiang Mo returned to the Protector's Mansion, it was already dark, and in Sensen's Protector's Mansion, he faintly heard the sound of birdsong from the trees.
She hesitated for a long time, but she still went into the house, she had to escape by herself, and the look on Huan Yi's face when she left was still creepy when she thought about it, but she was afraid that she would settle the account after the autumn.
When she passed under the porch, several night vigil servants were whispering under the porch, "Have you heard that the marriage of the second young master is scheduled for February next year, and now we have begun to prepare." ”
"But no, I heard that the war at the border pass has gradually subsided, but I'm afraid that next month, Commander Zheng Liangda will have to return to the court."
"No wonder I'm in such a hurry, I bought twenty embroidery girls in the mansion today, only embroidering wedding dresses, I heard that the thread is gold, and the Dongzhu the size of a fingernail cover, I don't know how many boxes I bought."
It turned out that he was about to get married so soon, Jiang Mo slowly pulled the corners of his lips, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Jiang Mo only listened to these few words, then walked away, until he walked to his room, but saw Xuan'er standing in front of the door with a complicated face, a little face as pale as paper, seeing her coming, it seemed to say something.
When Jiang Mo just wanted to walk in, he saw five or six grandmothers coming out of the house, all of them were five big and three thick, and they seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
Jiangmo was at a loss for a while, but when she saw the grandmothers coming up, she grabbed Jiangmo's arm and pushed her into the room.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Mo knew that he had offended Huan Yan, and he would never give up, but now he didn't know what he was going to do.
"We've been waiting for the girl for a long time." One of the grandmothers sneered, "It's all ordered by the young master, don't blame us." ”
After Jiangmo was pushed into the house, he saw that an iron chain had been put on the pillar in the house at some point, but it was only two or three zhang long.
Jiang Mo suddenly understood something, and subconsciously said angrily, "Let go of me, which of you dare?" ”
However, Jiang Mo has no place in the Protector Mansion now, and even these rough grandmothers don't put her in their eyes, but they still have no scruples to put the iron ring at the end of the chain on Jiang Mo's thin white neck, and then lock it with a lock.
A wave of humiliation spread from the bottom of Jiang Mo's heart, her eyes were blood-red, and she waited for the grandmother to say angrily, "Go and call Huan Yi to me." ”
"Yo, what are you asking the young master to do here?" With a voice full of mockery, he saw Fanyin pacing in, with a smug smile on his face, "You are also worthy of calling the young master's name?!" ”
When she saw the iron chain on Jiangmo's body, she only walked over and stepped on it.
Suddenly, a suffocating sensation came from Jiangmo's neck, and she staggered a few steps forward. Then he raised his eyes and stared at Sanskrit.
Fanyin was frightened by her fierce gaze, and hurriedly retracted her feet, only then did she realize her gaffe just now, and became more and more jealous, and only said to those grandmothers, "Repeat the young master's words to her." ”
One of the grandmothers narrowed her slender eyes, and then said in a voice full of flattery, "The young master said that she will be a dog in the future, and anyone can make her wag her tail and bark." ”
In an instant, Jiang Mo almost wanted to die with these people with mockery, but he still swallowed that breath stiffly.
Very good, this girl has completely offended her, it seems that she was still too soft-hearted before, and she has lived for so long.
Fanyin Jiang Mo did not cry as much as he imagined, and his liver and intestines were broken, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and only said with a sarcastic face, "The young master said, you will be grounded in the house in the future, without him, you will not want to go out in this life." ”
After saying that, she sneered a few more times, and then left with those grandmothers with a smug face.
After they left, Xuan'er hurriedly ran in, her eyes crying like peaches, and when she saw the chain around Jiangmo's neck, she suddenly cried more and more.
She was not allowed to enter the house, but she only listened outside, and knew that Jiang Mo had suffered a great humiliation, and she was so strong that she was afraid that she would not be able to think about it for a while.
The iron chain was almost out of breath, and her thin white neck was quickly worn out of blood, and she only leaned on the bed, looking at the half-new curtain with a pair of hollow eyes.
Seeing her like this, Xuan'er hurriedly ran up, shook her arm, and cried, "Girl, the young master is afraid that he can't think about it for a while, so he begs you like this, don't be sad, maybe tomorrow the young master will untie this chain tomorrow!" ”
Jiang Mo's dark eyes suddenly turned, and his fingers slowly stroked his lower abdomen, "I want a child with the blood of the Huan family." ”
Xuan'er never thought that she would say such an inconsequential word, so she couldn't help but be stunned on the side, and the hand pulling Jiangmo's arm slowly froze.
She has been thinking that her father's new policies must be implemented by a king who believes in her wholeheartedly, and even if the Huan family wins the world in the future, and the throne finally falls to Huan Yi, but he is such a moody person, no one recognizes him when he turns his face, and he is naturally not a good ally.
But if he gives birth to the child of the Huan family, and when the time comes, he will be put on the throne, and his son will never betray him.
"But you and the little master have become like this, where is the chance." Xuan'er began to cry again.
