Chapter 505: The Prisoner of Tonggong (I)
In his sleep, Nanzi, accompanied by Le Lingzi, drank the poison of forgetting the past and died smoothly, but the soul was immortal.
She was reborn in the heyday of Dayi Shang, her father was Wu Ding, her mother was a good woman, she was born with Xuanyu in her mouth, and her father killed a thousand Qiang slaves to thank the Emperor for her smooth adulthood. When she grew up, she was surrounded by all the Yin merchants and nobles in the center, and had an ambiguous relationship with her brothers in the same clan, and finally married a big nobleman surnamed Ying as she wished, and after giving birth to children, she could inherit her mother's axe, and follow her father and husband to conquer the ghost party, and by the way, the small state Zhou who was still in the land was destroyed......
However, when she woke up, she was a lark in a cage.
When Nanzi vaguely regained consciousness, he had been taken down from the carriage and supported by several stout Fu Mu to ascend an endless staircase to a high platform.
The wooden staircase made a dull sound, and they walked higher and higher, until Nanzi's breathing became shorter and her legs ached, and she woke up.
"Where is this? Where will you take me? ”
No one answered, only the climb continued, the platform was ten feet long, and her new room was near the top.
Nanzi looked around, is this the Nine Secluded Land where the Great Si Ming and the Young Si Ming are located? Or is it the sun setting?
Outside the window, the autumn breeze whined, and the room was spacious and airy, with a thick leopard skin blanket on the floor, and the smell of incense permeated the surroundings. Nanzi collapsed weakly on the couch, groggy.
"I also hope that the princess and daughter will stay inside, and someone will bring them every day, so don't embarrass the villains." The straight-faced Fu Mu came with the first meal, and after she dropped a sentence stiffly, she tied the door from the outside and left, leaving Nanzi alone.
"I'm not dead?" People go after the house is empty. Nanzi held her face incredulously, feeling deceived.
From the pavilion of the high platform, she could see the distant view, one window facing north, she could see the army with flags driving out of the Mong Gate, and the other facing south, allowing her to overlook the main hall, the yellow hall and the triple palace gate.
So Nanzi knew that he had been taken back to the palace city of the Song Kingdom. But which location exactly?
As for the vicinity, the ancient palace is lonely and lonely, and the palace walls are sparsely populated, only a few white-headed palace maids and Fu mothers are sweeping the scattered yellow sycamore leaves.
This piece of palace that Nanzi can see has a name that makes people sad when they mention it, Tonggong.
It was more than 1,000 years ago, when Shangqiu was still the capital of Yin Shang, and this palace rose here. Shang Tang's son Taijia succeeded to the throne, tyrannical and unclear. does not respect the law of Shang Tang, which is quite unpopular with the people. So Yi Yin abolished Taijia and exiled Taijia to Tonggong, a pass is three years, Yi Yin regent is the country, to the princes.
After that, I don't know how many Jiazi winds and rains have passed, Tonggong, including the old Yin Shang capital. All were lost in dust and ruins. Until Weizi was unsealed in the Song Dynasty, the ruins of the old hao were cleaned up. Then a palace of the same name was built on the site of the Tong Palace, and its function was similar, it was used to imprison sinners in the public office......
In short, Tonggong is located in the north of the Song Palace, and Nanzi went around in a big circle and actually returned here. There's nothing worse than that.
It was not so much a detention as a house arrest, with a soft bed that looked like the one in her daughter-in-law's apartment, and even a stone-built toilet. Comes in a basket of dried dates to stuff your nose to avoid smells, as well as bath beans for washing your hands. Nanzi inexplicably remembered that when she and Zhao Wuxian first met, she also disguised herself as a temple man and led him out of the toilet to the trap she had laid down.
Nanzi had a splitting headache, but she had recovered from the drastic change, she found a copper basin, was stunned, and washed her sand-stained hands and pretty face, but no matter how hard she tried, she could wipe away the stains, but she couldn't wipe away the sadness of betrayal.
She had given up everything, and wanted to die quietly, but she would not have been satisfied with it, if she had not been betrayed......
"Someone betrayed me!" This was unmistakable, and Nanzi was furious, prompting her to keep reminiscing.
There are a lot of people who have doubts, the palace guards around them, everyone in Zhao Qiuli, and then ......
She suddenly recalled how Le Lingzi methodically arranged the decoction, how she handed the golden cup to herself, and how she listened to herself quietly, with pity and indifference in her eyes forever.
Nanzi understands that someone has betrayed her, someone she once loved deeply, this is the cruelest wound in her heart.
After figuring everything out, Nanzi's eyes filled with tears, her whole body was twitching, and she cried.
……
Nanzi cried and fell asleep that night...... From start to finish.
Even in her dreams, Nanko could not be calm, she dreamed of having fun with Lady Le when she was young, and she was the only partner she could trust. They shared everything, learned to sing business songs, learned to spin, and dragged their long sleeves to learn dance and music. At the age of eleven, Nanzi stole a bottle of rice wine and encouraged Reiko to drink it, and the two hugged each other drunk, smiling and caressing each other's hair when they woke up. They also shared clothes, beds, and peiyu, until Fu Mu sternly warned that the daughters of the princes and the daughters of the princes had different specifications, and that it would be a great crime to mix them.
After knowing the person, she also joked intentionally or unintentionally that she wanted to share the first man with her......
At that time, Lingzi just smiled and was noncommittal, and with the difference in personality, the two shared less and less, and in the end they didn't even tell the truth.
"Lingzi, why did you betray me?"
Why? Why push yourself into a fire pit? She didn't think that Leshi would do such a thing. They were best of best friends, and she begged her for a deadly poison, but she stunned her.
"It must be for the sake of your life, so you sacrificed me to the rebels who surrounded Zhao Qiu, in exchange for your life, so that you can wait for your taxi to marry you when the wedding time arrives!"
"Yes, you are aware of my correspondence with Zhao Wuxian, so you are jealous!"
Nanzi relied on his own guess and boldly imagined such a process.
So, the crying and convulsions stopped and turned into gnashing of teeth.
Nanzi kept adding fuel to the anger in his heart, because anger was stronger than tears, stronger than sadness, stronger than sadness.
"If you don't repay this hatred, you will be ashamed to be the heir of Shang Tang!"
……
The girl's resentment is long and slender, but it is the medicine that pushes her to persevere in a desperate situation.
Nanzi can see many things inside and outside the Tong Palace from the case near the window, compared with the calm in the palace, the inner city and the outer Guo are complicated and panicked, every day there are soldiers with swords to drive out, every day there are injured people withdrawing in, Shangqiu has become a large barracks.
"The rebellion continues, it has not stopped." Nanzi guessed that when she was taken back from captivity, Youshi Le Daxin and the fourth prince controlled the military power of the office, and it is said that they also controlled the Song Palace and the monarch. They have already defeated the Xiang clan, and the imperial clan guarding the palace ban also has the intention of turning against them, if there is no external interference, there is absolutely no way to reverse the situation with Le Miao's waste.
So in Nanzi's mind, she should have been controlled by four uncles......
But Nanzi had no way of confirming her guesses, and she didn't have any visitors except for the silent concubine and the old-fashioned Fu Mu with a dark face.
The people who held her captors undoubtedly knew her very well, and unless it was an old man like Le Daxin, who was about to die, no man could resist Nanzi's charm.
The Fu Mu were sophisticated and cold, and did not pay attention to her at all, while the concubines were timid and afraid, they brought Nanzi food and changed her clothes, but no one dared to say a word to her, even if Nanzi pulled their hair and asked, they could not get any answer.
Who is the real mastermind behind her imprisonment, what happened in the world outside the window during her imprisonment in Tonggong, what is the situation in the Song Kingdom, where did her nephew Gongsun Jiao, her father Song Gong, and Le Lingzi, who "betrayed" her, flee to? She wanted to know it all.
"Take me out to meet the principal here!" Nanzi had commanded in her most majestic tone, but the only answer she received was the dull sound of the door closing......
Nanzi felt that she was going crazy, once upon a time, her eyeliner and ears were all over the Song Palace, and any wind and grass could reach her ears, but now, she could only rely on vain guesses to get by?
Her patience had been worn as thin as paper, and on the tenth day of her captivity, she began to plot that she would escape from here, and that no matter how bad it was, she would also know the news from the outside.
When Nanzi smiles and shows her charm, is it only men who will be fooled?
……
Nanzi, the person here, has never seen it before, maybe it is the palace person who stayed in Tonggong, which favored princess would come to hang out in a gloomy and dark place without anything?
But Nanzi has already set a goal in her heart, she is aiming at a shy and thin girl, she is here to serve Nanzi to bathe, which means that Nanzi has enough time to capture her. These girls from the scholarly families who have entered the deep palace since they were young have little knowledge, they are young, naïve, and easy to be fooled.
So she waited until the next bath, and when the little concubine pulled Nanzi's hair out, she began to ramble aimlessly, giggling with laughter, like a cheerful lark.
Nanzi's self-talk touched on all aspects, from the banquet in the palace to the scenery and customs of the surrounding cities, and at the same time, she was also carefully observing the behavior of the little concubine: when she talked about something, her arms were tense, and when she talked about something, her face was relaxed, Nanzi gradually guessed where she was from, what kind of identity and origin, and whether there were relatives in the family?
At the same time, Nanzi also felt that this world was really ridiculous, in the past, those children of Song Guoqing who held her toes, Nanzi would not devote himself to the dialogue with them at all, but tried his best to be perfunctory. If those suitors knew about her performance today, then they wouldn't be jealous of this little concubine of Tonggong?
It wasn't until the seventeenth day, when she bathed again, that Nanzi took the opportunity to mention the city where she guessed that the little concubine lived before entering the palace, describing the tragic situation of being bloodied by the rebels. Concubine Xiao still didn't answer, but when Nanzi turned her head to look at her, she saw that her face was pale and she was clenching her hands tightly.
You guessed it!
"I can help you find your loved ones."
"Wei Wei ......" Concubine Xiao Li finally spoke, Nanzi was so excited that she almost jumped out of the big wooden barrel naked, she was as happy as if she had won a desperate palace fight.
So, who is the person who held her captive? This is the first question Nanzi needs to know.
