44, Xiao Wei's fragility, the past is like smoke, floating away
Xiao Wei, who had already left the palace, naturally couldn't hear the conversation between Concubine Yu and the emperor.
He was alone, walking on the narrow palace road, Bai Zhuo followed behind him, with a sad face.
Out of the palace gate, a carriage stopped there quietly, and Bai Zhuo's eyes lit up, it was the carriage of the Zhenbei Palace.
On the one hand, he hoped that the little prince of Zhenbei could make the depressed master brighter.
On the one hand, he felt that if the relationship between the master and the little prince of Zhenbei was too good, there would be problems.
Bai Zhuo's mood can be described as tangled.
He saw Xiao Wei get into the carriage of the Zhenbei Palace, and followed him and sat on the wheel.
Fortunately, it was Wei Ting who drove the car, otherwise, he would probably have to follow the carriage and walk back.
Xu Han waited in the carriage for a long time before seeing Xiao Wei come out of the palace.
After getting into the carriage, she saw Xiao Wei silently leaning against the wall of the carriage without speaking, thinking that he was tired because of the wound.
So he said to Wei Ting, who was outside, "It's night now, there are few pedestrians on the road, so you can hurry up." ”
"Don't go back yet." Xiao Wei's voice sounded in the dull carriage.
Xu Han, "......"
She understood, this son was in a bad mood.
"If you don't go back, where are you going?" She asked, you can't say take him back to the palace, right?
"Let Bai Zhuo drive, he knows." Xiao Wei ordered outside.
After a short pause, the carriage restarted on the road, and the direction of the road was neither to return to the palace nor to the Cheng'en Mansion.
Xu Han didn't ask, she thought back to what happened at the banquet, basically nothing could make him feel so depressed.
It seems that he can only go to Concubine Yu's palace and something happened that made him feel uneasy.
It's just that I heard that Concubine Yu has no children, and the most beloved is this nephew, what will happen to make a person with a temperament like Xiao Wei not hesitate to show sadness in front of her, a person who has not yet made a deep acquaintance?
Bai Zhuo set up the carriage and stopped in front of an alley.
"The prince, the little prince, it's here." Outside, Bai Zhuo and Wei Ting reported in unison.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw disgust in each other's eyes, and they turned their heads away.
Xiao Wei got out of the carriage first with his robe, stood on the side of the carriage, and wanted to reach out to help Xu Han get out of the carriage, but Xu Han avoided him.
Inexplicably, she is not a girl, why do you want to support her?
She jumped out of the carriage neatly, stood up and looked at Xiao Wei, and motioned for him to lead the way.
He was here here, and she didn't know how to know what he was going to do.
I knew that I would have left the carriage and went back to the house first, maybe I was already lying on the couch enjoying the massage of a few beautiful maids.
The deep alley, isolated from the bustling street, Xu Han followed Xiao Wei all the way to the end and stopped in front of a noodle restaurant.
From afar, Xu Han smelled the aroma of food, the dinner party in the palace was really nothing to eat, the things looked good, but they were actually hot and hot, and the deliciousness of the food was long gone when it was served.
This will smell the aroma and the stomach will involuntarily 'gurgle'.
The shop was in front of the cauldron at the door, and there were some diners sitting in twos and threes inside and outside the house, no one was talking, all of them were burying their heads in their bowls of noodles.
When some people finished eating, they shouted, 'Shopkeeper, another bowl.' ’
Xiao Wei took Xu Han to sit down in front of an empty table, Xiao Wei, who originally had a habit of cleanliness at any time, sat down in one place and had to wipe it with a white cloth again and again.
When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Wei, he grinned and said, "Childe hasn't been here for some days, is it still the same as before?" ”
Xiao Wei nodded.
The shopkeeper didn't think much of his indifferent attitude, and looked at Xu Han, "What toppings does this little boy want?" ”
Xu Han didn't know what was in the store, thinking that since Xiao Wei could bring her here familiarly, he must have thought that the food here was delicious, so he said,
"Same as him."
"Okay." Below the shop, the soup is adjusted, the toppings are topped, and after a while, a big bowl of noodles is placed in front of Xiao Wei and Xu Han.
The noodle soup is clear, with a poached egg lying on top, and then there are fried fragrant toppings, sprinkled with finely chopped green onions, the green onions are fragrant and make people appetize.
Xiao Wei never said much, after the noodles came up, he lowered his head and began to eat noodles, although his cleanliness habit did not attack here, but the manners and rules in the high gate were engraved in his bones.
Although he ate quickly, he didn't make a staggering sound, which made Xu Han look a little stunned.
When he's in a bad mood, does he just come here to eat a bowl of noodles? She never knew it before.
She smiled, Xiao Xiaozheng was actually very different from before.
"Here's what she told me." Xiao Wei finished eating his wontons, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, talking to Xu Han as if he was talking about home.
Xu Han blinked, she? He? Who is it? There was no clue to it.
She couldn't understand such profound words, so she just lowered her head and ate herself.
"In the palace, didn't you hear my conversation with Xu Xiuyan? It was Eleven Niang who told me. ”
Speaking of Eleven Niang, his eyes were dim.
Xu Han didn't understand it anymore, it was her first time here, why didn't she remember that she had told him such a place?
She said vaguely while eating, "Didn't that Eleven Niang get engaged to Xu Xiuyan?" How do you ...... Not so good. ”
Xiao Wei sneered and said disdainfully, "Xu Xiuyan and the Xu family are hypocrites, Uncle Huo is really blind, and he will be friends with such a person." ”
"When the Huo family had an accident that day, the Xu family not only did not reach out to help, but fell into the well."
"Where is Xu Xiuyan worthy of Eleven Niang!"
Xu Han, who originally wanted to go again, suddenly lost her appetite, she put down her chopsticks and said, "You are very different today." ”
Xiao Zhuo said 'um' and asked Bai Zhuo to settle the bill, only to see Bai Zhuo go inside, and when he came out again, he held two jars of wine in his hands.
Xu Han, "......"
The moonlight was just right, and occasionally people passed by in the alley, or the sound of Shiba Inu sounded, and after passing a high wall, Xiao Wei took the wine jar from Bai Zhuo's hand, jumped up, went to the roof, and sat on the ridge.
Xu Han sighed, glanced at Wei Ting, and followed Xiao Wei to the roof in resignation, and then sat down beside him.
Xiao Wei had already opened the cork of the wine jar, and the wine was fragrant.
He took a sip and handed the wine jar to Xu Han, who hesitated for a moment before taking it and taking a sip slowly.
Just think of it as being in the army, informal, and sharing the wine jar with others.
"This is the store's own sorghum wine, and it is never sold." Xiao Wei took the wine jar and drank it to himself.
Xu Han didn't drink anymore, Xiao Wei didn't care, but he didn't stop until he drank a drop, put down the wine jar, leaned back, and lay on the ridge of the roof without moving.
Under the moonlight, his robe was hunting in the wind.
Xu Han has been waiting, waiting for Xiao Wei to speak.
Sure enough, after a while, he suddenly spoke,
"I wasn't born yet, my father died, and after I was born, my mother also died."
His voice was unusually empty in the night.
"Before I could learn to walk, I was named the son of Cheng'en Gong, and a month ago, my second uncle had just succeeded my father as the new Cheng'en Gong."
"Since then, my aunt, who was originally kind to me, has a nose that is not a nose and an eye that is not an eye, because I am the son of the world, and the title of the princess will return to me in the future."
"Grandmother really loves me, she wants the stars for the stars, and the moon for the moon, to put it mildly, if I want to rebel, she should also indulge me."
is so Xiao Wei that his whole body is depressed, and people can't help but want to feel sorry for him.
"That's not very good, there are losses and gains, at least you still have the love of the eldest princess." Xu Han said.
In this world, where is there so much wishful fulfillment, and each of them knows their own sorrows.
Xiao Wei smiled, "Yes, forget that your father is also very critical of you." ”
"However, even if your father no longer likes you, he is still alive, and he will find fault with you, scold, and punish you.
You can also go back if you want to. ”
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "What about me? I didn't. I often wonder what happened to my father, how my mother was. ”
"When they are alive, I will be a beloved child.
Instead of thinking about them, my grandmother took me into the palace to see Concubine Yu.
She said that Concubine Yu looked very similar to my mother, and seeing her was like seeing my mother. ”
He raised his hand, his slender fingers covering his eyes, "Although she looks like my mother, although she loves me very much, she is not my mother......"
"I know it's a bit of a white-eyed wolf to think like this, but it's a fact."
"However, as soon as I thought about my mother, I went to the palace to see her."
"Until three years ago."
Xu Han thought about it, it was three years ago, a lot of things happened three years ago, what kind of weirdness was there in the year three years ago.
Xiao Wei's hand moved, and then he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, "Three years ago, my grandfather suddenly fell ill, and the person who could still carry a machete to fight me suddenly collapsed. ”
"The disease was menacing, and people and the big trees that had been drained of water quickly dried up, and the doctors couldn't treat them at all, and I remember my grandmother sitting by my grandfather's bedside and refusing to leave."
"Everyone was scolded by her, but I wanted to comfort her old man."
He paused, took a long breath, and as if he had made up his mind, he continued,
"My grandmother slapped my hand away when I was about to hug her, and at that moment, she was very emotionally out of control."
"For nearly twenty years, she had never said that to me, she had never said a word to me, and that day, she said a lot."
"Facing me, pointing to the sky and scolding the earth, from the first emperor to the present, after scolding, he hugged me in pain. Say I'm sorry. ”
Xu Han didn't expect that the eldest princess of Shuyang, who followed the first emperor and killed countless enemies for half her life, would have such a time.
Also, she is a human being, she will also have joys and sorrows, and what everyone sees is just the eldest princess Shuyang that everyone wants to see.
She quietly listened to Xiao Wei talk about the past, her heart trembled slightly, how should Xiao Xiao look around at that time?
"My grandmother said sorry to me, and in a whisper, she said that her life was ridiculous, and she kept a wild seed by her side for almost twenty years. After enduring it for so many years, he still couldn't save his husband's life. ”
"She asked me to be Xiao Wei forever, don't think about anything, just Xiao Wei."
"One who has nothing to do, one who is squirming to the extreme, and a Xiao Wei who has a bad reputation."
"This is not in vain in her forbearance, and it is not in vain in her grandfather's life!"
Xiao Wei's voice was the lowest in Xu Han's life, and she clearly felt his body trembling slightly.
But when he said the word 'wild seed', he seemed to be pulled by a thread, and the whole person was like a full bow, tightly tensed.
She didn't know what to say about this past, it wasn't a few words of light comfort that could bring about the pain of the past.
This kind of pain is best known only to the parties themselves, and Xiao Wei's tragedy is that every day he lives, the people he sees do not remind him of such pain all the time.
At the same time, it also reminds those who are in the know.
Xu Han couldn't bear to listen to him anymore, and couldn't help but say, "Shizi, don't say it, I understand." ”
When babies come into this world, they can't choose what to do with birth, family history, and so on.
Xiao Wei's life experience is a bad debt, how to calculate it, no one knows.
But how innocent is Xiao Wei? Although both parents died, he was also a cheerful young man and lived his life happily.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell on his head, five thunderbolts hit the top, his life experience, everything he had was fake, and he would continue to live in this false everything in the future.
Think about it again, Xiao Xiaozheng was so cute in the past, and an accident made him what he is now.
Xiao Wei didn't need her comfort, she didn't say anything, don't bring the atmosphere to pathos, so that he would have the courage to continue.
"I've actually heard all kinds of rumors, but I didn't take it seriously, they said that Concubine Yu was my mother, and when my father was alive, she had an affair with the one on the dragon chair......
When my father died, she calculated the opportunity and went to the suburbs to find him, and then took the opportunity to give birth to me, and then went to the palace in a different way.
It's clearly a red face and a curse, so that person can do something against morality.
What's more, I look more and more like Concubine Yu, and even has some royal aspects, so that those people in the mansion are even more powerful.
Even outside, there are vague rumors. ”
Xu Han had also heard such rumors, but at that time she scoffed at them, and when Xiao Wei came to her to compete, she would deliberately put some water to let him win, and comfort him in this way.
However, she still has doubts, Xiao Wei said that the eldest princess was out of touch with him, so now it seems that his relationship with the eldest princess is still very good.
Why is that?
She opened her mouth and asked, "If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had said that to you at the beginning, it would have been that she had a problem in her heart, but now it seems that her love for you is not forced, but from the bottom of her heart." ”
The eldest princess of Shuyang has been fighting for half her life, and when she goes into battle to kill the enemy, the city is naturally very deep, but no matter how many things are pretended, they can't be pretended.
Xiao Wei's hand covering his eyes moved, "After my grandfather died, my grandmother was seriously ill, and I didn't know how I came over in the days of filial piety. Confused, I don't know the day. ”
"When my grandmother woke up, she didn't know anything about what she said to me that day, as if it hadn't happened, and she loved me and indulged me as before."
"I thought it was a pretend, but slowly I realized that my grandmother had really forgotten what had happened that day.
The doctor said that it was probably too stimulating, and the grandmother subconsciously avoided it. ”
"I breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to be happy or sad."
"I don't know who to hate, the world often says that parents who are all right, no matter how wrong they are, they can't hate.
Can grandparents hate? No, they loved me for almost twenty years, and my grandfather even lost his life for it. I have no reason to hate them. ”
"What's even more terrifying is that when I finally accepted all this and stepped out of the house to find someone, I found that she was also gone."
Xu Han's heart moved slightly, she knew who Xiao Wei was talking about, he said it several times, she just disappeared, but she clearly remembered that she was dead.
As the saying goes, there is life to die.
That is to say, she had to die before before she could have a day when she could be reborn, which is the right logic.
But Xiao Xiao always said that she was just missing......
"Are you talking about Huo Shi Niang? You say she's just gone, but when I met her, she ran out of gas, so why do you say she's just gone? ”
Xu Han asked.
Xiao Wei's hand covering his face finally took it off, sat up, and moved closer to Xu Han,
"Because I went to Wang Mushan to calculate a hexagram......"
Xu Han was a little stunned, Wang Mushan is not only knowledgeable and admired by people all over the world, but it is rare that he can also tell hexagrams.
But he doesn't help people calculate hexagrams at will, except for marriage hexagrams!
Xiao Wei went to calculate the marriage hexagram, and he could guess that Wang Mushan calculated that his marriage was on Huo Shiniang, and the red line was not broken!
He was so sure that Huo Shiniang was not dead, but just missing.
That's why he insisted on going to her.
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I believe that Huo Shiniang is still alive, but I don't know." ”
He looked at Xu Han with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, faintly faint.
"Although I haven't told my fortune, I think I'm the fate of a lone star."
He didn't look at Xu Han, but looked at the darkness in the distance, "My parents don't want me, my grandfather died because of me, and although my grandmother is alive now, she is also trembling after that serious illness."
There is also Eleven Niang, who was simply given by me to disappear. ”
His gaze retracted, staring deeply at Xu Han, those secret and distorted thoughts, he had never spoken to anyone, and he didn't think others could understand.
But she just listened to it, and she could understand.
"I'm a lonely star, you're so close to me, be careful and regret it one day."
For Xu Han, the ups and downs in the name of the person in front of him are not something he can choose.
She said, "Who said, how can I regret it, you are the best person."
Xiao Xiao let go of the blaze in his eyes, "You have to remember what you said." ”
Xu Han turned his head slightly, and smiled a little weakly.
Xiao Wei looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly said,
"When I came out of the palace today, I suddenly didn't want to live a false life like this. I want to figure out what the truth really is. ”
Xu Han nodded, she was forced to listen to so many secrets, but she really couldn't get off the thief ship.
"Yes, we can analyze and analyze, what is hidden in this."
"First of all, your appearance doesn't say anything, Concubine Yu is your aunt, it's normal to be like her, your grandmother is a royal person, and it's not surprising that you have a royal face.
So let's extrapolate from the year you were born, how? ”
Forget it, she is a person who knows the current affairs very well, and if she gets on the thief ship and wants to get to the shore quickly, she can only help rock the boat together.
Xiao Wei glanced at her, moved his lips, and before he could speak, a sharp and piercing voice came from a distance.
It's someone shouting for help.
Before curfew in the city, the streets in the distance were still brightly lit.
The cry for help sounded not far from this alley.
Xu Han stood up and was about to jump off the roof when his hand was grabbed, "I'll go with you to have a look." ”
She is a little inexplicable, she will go together when she goes together, why do you want to hold her hand? She jerked hard, but didn't pull it back.
He could only jump down with Xiao Wei, and Bai Zhuo and Wei Ting were on the side, giving the two people above him a release.
They also heard the cries for help, and the four of them ran towards the place where the sound came from.
In the darkness, two people could be vaguely seen pulling another person, and Wei Ting took out the fire fold he carried with him to polish it.
The light was dim, but it was clear what was going on.
It was two men pulling a woman.
The woman probably knows some punches and kicks, and she wrestles with two men, but her martial arts are not good, and it is very difficult.
"Daring maniac, what are you doing?" Bai Zhuo shouted sharply.
When the two men saw Bai Zhuo and Wei Ting holding the fire fold, they thought they were just two people, and said arrogantly,
"Our brother is bringing his disobedient sister home, do you also have to take care of the family affairs?"
This is clearly saying that Bai Zhuo is nosy.
The courtyard on the edge of the alley lit up and hit the two men, and the face of the woman who was pulled appeared in the eyes of the four.
"I'm not their sister, they're bad people, please save me, they've already got two of my sister and my friend away......" the woman cried out.
At this time, the lights of several more houses were turned on, and the number of onlookers increased.
Two men rampant through the tunnel,
"Why aren't you our sister, I didn't want to tell others about your ugliness, but my father and mother told you that you were a good friend, but you were going to elope with a groom."
"We caught you and refused to go back, what woman is as shameless as you?"
As they spoke, their faces covered with fat, their hands tightly gripping the woman's arm.
"You talk nonsense, I don't know you, I'm a girl from Zhenbei Wangfu, don't let me go again, be careful that you can't eat and walk around."
The woman desperately tried to break free from the restraints, but her strength was too small.
The two men laughed, "Sister, don't be funny, just because a good girl of yours is going to elope with the groom, it means that you have a bad brain."
Now I still imagine that I am a girl from Zhenbei Wangfu, and I also say that I am the little prince of Zhenbei Wangfu. ”
Xu Han heard the girl say Zhenbei Wangfu, raised her eyebrows, this girl's face is indeed a little familiar, she said that it is a girl, then it is not a subordinate or something.
But the girl in the north of the Zhenbei Mansion is only Xu Yufei, who was born to the Bai family. But this girl is not Xu Yufei.
However, looking at her appearance, it is indeed not the sister of those two people, just now she said that someone has been taken away, is it a kidnapper?
She and Xiao Wei glanced at each other, whether it was a girl from Zhenbei Wangfu or not, she had to save it, so she stepped forward,
"Oh? Your Excellency is the little prince of Zhenbei Wangfu, I don't know who I am! ”
The two men's faces changed greatly when they saw Xu Han standing out, at first they couldn't see clearly because it was very dark, and then they didn't pay attention because there were more people.
When Xu Han participated in Princess Chunping's birthday banquet, he wore the prince's regular clothes, and the four-clawed golden dragon was also embroidered on it.
They didn't expect to really run into the main ...... Subconsciously, their hands loosened.
When the girl saw Xu Han, her eyes lit up, and when they loosened up a little, she broke free with all her strength and rushed towards Xu Han.
"Brother Han, help...... I'm a girl in the third room. ”
Xu Han was stumbled by the girl, so he could only take her with him and try to stand firm.
It turned out that she was really a girl from Zhenbei Wangfu.
thought that Xu Jun had taken the position of the prince, and the other brothers died and were disabled for various reasons.
The foot of the third room master fell from the horse and was injured, and he missed the position of the prince, and he also formed a mortal enmity with Xu Jun's room.
Except for the time when worshipping ancestors, people in several houses don't interact much at other times.
I didn't expect the girl in the third room to recognize her.
I saw the girl in the third room shrinking in Xu Han's arms, pointing to the two men who were about to escape,
"Brother Han, catch them both quickly......"
She suddenly stopped, leaned into Xu Han's ear and whispered,
"Yu Fei and I, as well as Princess Chunping, Princess Anping went out of the palace to buy things, and just now the accomplices of those two arrested the three of them......"
Xu Han was shocked, she tried her best to control her expression, "Wei Ting, Bai Zhuo, catch them." ”
The two people were frightened by Xu Han's strictness, and immediately twisted their bodies and were about to run away, but where they were Bai Zhuo and Wei Ting, they were twisted.
It was too late, but it was too late, and black blood gushed out from the corners of their mouths......
This is usually only found by dead soldiers, and there is poison in their teeth.
I didn't expect the two crutches to have such a powerful thing on them.
Xu Han's complexion changed greatly, and now it's not just the girl in the third room who was almost abducted.
It's that two princesses were lost in the palace! And a girl in the palace.
It's terrible, she has always felt that now it is also a country and a people's peace, how could such a bad thing happen?
The girl in the third room was still shrunk in Xu Han's arms and shivering, Xu Han wanted to push her away several times, but she hugged her waist tightly.
Xu Han looked at Xiao Wei and saw a smile on the corner of his lips.
She instructed Bai Zhuo, and Wei Ting drove away the onlookers, and then pulled Xiao Wei to tell him what the girl secretly told her.
Xiao Wei lowered his voice and said,
"It seems that it really ran into a kidnapper, and the capital loses a lot of people every year, especially young girls.
It's a terrible person to lose, and those kidnappers are really going to die. ”
"You take this girl back to ask about the situation, and I'll go to the palace to report the situation first."
Thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, not to mention Chunping and Anping, that is, the girls of the palace were all handed?
So he went to the girl in the third room and said,
"What about those who are waiting with you? Are they just watching you being dragged away? ”
