Chapter 104: Suspicious
It wasn't until he was about to reach the top of the mountain that Mo Ziyu recognized that he was going to the royal mausoleum, and when he went to worship in the past, he went to the main road, and Liu Xu took himself to a small road.
The royal mausoleum in Xishan is not a royal mausoleum in the traditional sense, and the orthodox royal family members are buried in the imperial mausoleum after their death, but here are some royal family members and meritorious ministers.
Liu Xu has been holding Mo Ziyu's hand, all the way to the top of the mountain, and then towards the cemetery, but after a while, he saw a gray-haired old man guarding the tomb appeared, he looked at Liu Xu kindly, and was a little surprised by Mo Ziyu beside him.
"Why is the prince here today?" the old man asked with a smile after saluting.
"I miss my mother, so I came to take a look. Liu Xu never let go of Mo Ziyu's hand, "Old Liu, you go and do your own thing, this king wants to talk to his mother." ”
"Yes, the old slave retired, and the old slave was waiting for the prince over there, and the old slave had something to say to the prince. ”
"Good. ”
In front of a tombstone that was not very inconspicuous, Liu Xu was half-squatting, his fingers gently stroking the handwriting on the tombstone, and said softly and sadly: "Mother, my son has come to see you." ”
"Jiang Liu said hello to the concubine. Mo Ziyu also knelt down in front of the tombstone, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, concubines are usually buried in the imperial tomb, why is Zhao Xu's biological mother, Qin Guifei buried here?
"You have fallen on the royal jade butterfly, and it is time to come to greet the concubine. Liu Xu said, "It's not a day, but I don't know why I remembered to see my mother today." When I was seven years old, my mother died of illness, and then the first queen raised me under her knees, but thanks to the careful care of the first queen and the imperial grandmother, I was able to grow up safely and smoothly. The emperor's elder brother I was only five years old, but he grew up with me like a father, teaching me martial arts and archery, teaching me kung fu and kung fu, teaching me the art of war and politics, but it's a pity that ......"
Ten years ago, the case of the great prince's rebellion involved a lot of people, and now I think about it and there are many people's pain in their hearts.
Mo Ziyu didn't know how to persuade him, but just held Liu Xu's hand tighter.
"There is a sentence in the concubine body, I don't know if to ask ...... or not"
"You want to ask why the mother concubine is buried here, right?" Liu Xu hooked his lips and smiled lightly, "It's been almost twenty years, I'm afraid that my father has long forgotten that there is such a woman in his harem!" The mother concubine was also favored in the harem back then, and soon after giving birth to me, she was honored as a concubine, but unfortunately the good days were not long, not long after Yun Guiren now Yun Guifei entered the palace, and was favored for three months, and then later, the mother did not know why she offended her father, and she was left out in the cold, although she was not put into the cold palace, she still retained the title of the concubine, but the father never stepped into the palace of the mother concubine until the death of the mother. ”
There was a hint of helplessness and ridicule in Liu Xu's voice: "I think he must be tired of this woman, otherwise how could he be so ruthless? A woman who is disgusted by him, how could he allow him to sleep underground with him? Even the burial here was insisted on by the former queen and allowed by the imperial grandmother." ”
"Your Majesty may not be ruthless, but may have a last resort......
"What can be the trouble of a woman who begged so her deathbed that she could not see her husband? I still remember, it was also a snowy day, and I knelt in front of my father's imperial study, begging him to go to see my mother, and the snow was so heavy that day, like goose feathers, as if it could drown my little body. Liu Xu smiled sarcastically, "The most ruthless emperor family, this is the first lesson my father taught me." ”
To be able to make a person remember how he felt when he was five years old so clearly, it must be a very desperate and painful day. Mo Ziyu seemed to be able to look at that small body, kneeling in the snow with strong despair.
She gently snuggled up to Liu Xu and passed the temperature of her body to him.
Liu Xu rubbed the top of Mo Ziyu's head with a side face, and said indifferently: "Actually, after so many years, I have also looked at many things and wanted to open them." Let's go back. ”
He then got up, took Mo Ziyu's hand and prepared to leave.
When he walked to the gate of the cemetery, Lao Liu was still waiting, and then he came forward: "Lord Wang, the old slave has made some discoveries recently......" As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Ziyu.
Liu Xu patted Mo Ziyu on the shoulder: "You go over there and talk to Qingyue for a while." ”
"Yes. Mo Ziyu gently blessed himself and left.
Liu Xu took a few steps forward, stood under a pine tree, dodging the falling snowflakes, his eyes looked at the layers of clouds in the sky, and asked in a light tone: "What do you want to say to this king?"
"The old slave has been suspecting all these years that Niangniang did not die of illness, but poisoning!" Lao Liu said with a firm tone of resentment, "Someone must have poisoned Niangniang!"
Liu Xu's eyes narrowed, and his tone was as calm as possible: "Is there any evidence? The mother concubine has fallen out of favor back then, why would anyone go to great lengths to poison her?"
"I used to think that Niangniang died of depression, but in fact, it was not!" Lao Liu said, "Three days ago, an old man came here. ”
"The deceased?"
"The people who served in the Niangniang Palace back then were called apricots. Lao Liu said, "After Niangniang died of illness, she was assigned to the palace of Yu Guiren, who had a good relationship with our mother, so he treated her well and let her stay by her side to serve." One day, when she followed Yu Guiren to ask Concubine Yun Gui for peace, she saw the imperial doctor who often diagnosed Niangniang appear in Concubine Yun's palace. ”
After a pause, Lao Liu continued: "The people in the palace, red and white, our mother seems to be a noble concubine, but in fact, she has already fallen out of favor, so the imperial doctor sent will not be the most proficient person in the imperial hospital." And Concubine Yun Guifei was a big celebrity in the palace, and she was pregnant at the time, so it stands to reason that it would not be the turn of the imperial doctor to come to treat her anyway. Xing'er had doubts in her heart, and then wanted to investigate the matter, but soon after, the imperial doctor suddenly died violently, and Yu Guiren noticed that Xing'er was investigating this matter and warned her seriously. It's just that she hasn't investigated a reason yet, so she's at an age, don't let her out of the palace. ”
Sighing, Lao Liu said again: "After leaving the palace, Xing'er didn't give up on this matter, and finally let her find out some eyebrows." Soon after the imperial doctor's violent death, his family moved out of the capital, incognito, she searched for almost twenty years, and finally found the imperial doctor's family, but the imperial doctor's family was very tight-mouthed and didn't say anything. She is also old, afraid that one day if she says no, it will be gone, and there is no conclusive evidence for the things she investigated, and she is afraid that after rashly telling the prince, it will affect the future of the prince, so she came here and told the old slave everything again. These coincidences all coincide, and the cause of Niangniang's death is indeed suspicious!"
