Chapter 457: The Last Bit of Kindness
What does Empress Dowager Zhou mean by saying this now?
Is it that people are dying and their words are good, or, as my aunt thinks, they are playing a plot to escape this catastrophe today?
Yun Ji couldn't understand, and just wanted to speak, but saw the Empress Dowager Zhou wave her hand again.
"Zhang'er," Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and continued, "Now, the Imperial Grandmother is not saying this to shirk her responsibility, but the Imperial Grandmother sincerely believes that there is no need for this. After all, your mother's kindness is important to you, but you can't ignore your father's flesh and blood, can you? So, why should you embarrass yourself and have to investigate the cause of your mother's death?
Yun Ji glanced deeply at the old woman in front of him.
I have to say that what she said actually makes a lot of sense. ---- what happened back then, no matter what the truth is, in the end, it will be you who suffers!
He is the son of the mother and the son of the father. If his father is his mother-killing enemy, how cruel is it to him?
Yun Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
However, as a son of man, can he really ignore the death of his biological mother?
Yun Ji didn't know.
However, a moment later, when he reopened his eyes, the bottom of his eyes was clear, and there was no trace of variegation. "That's what the Imperial Grandmother said. Jewel was taught. Yun Ji said lightly. At this moment, no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the child and smiled again.
This kid has such a heart, and it can be regarded that God is not thin on their Yun family.
"Zhu'er," she said, "do you know why Wang Qiuyu's girl wants to hand over the mourning family to you?"
Yun Ji frowned slightly.
Why?
He had never thought about this problem before, he only thought that the Empress Dowager Zhou was from the Wang family, and now she was dying, Wang Qiuyu couldn't bear it, so he escaped from the capital with the Empress Dowager Zhou.
But now, it seems that things are not so simple......
"I also ask the imperial grandmother to give advice. Yun Ji asked for advice very sincerely.
The eldest princess also reacted, raised her head and glanced deeply at the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou bowed her head and sighed, "That child in Qiuyu can be regarded as a mourning family who grew up watching from a young age." That kid, the mourning family really likes it. Back then, the mourning family also had the idea of giving her to you to marry...... Isn't it a joke to talk about it now?"
"Zhang'er," said this, Empress Dowager Zhou looked up at her grandson again, "Wang Qiuyu's girl entrusted the mourning family to your hands, which can be regarded as well-intentioned." ”
Diligent?
Where does this begin?
Yun Ji and the eldest princess glanced at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning.
When Empress Dowager Zhou said this, she seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and she was silent for a while.
Then, she said lightly, "Actually, when Concubine Qing died, there was only one mourning family by her side. Therefore, her last words are only known to the mourning family......"
What the?
Hearing this, Yun Ji and the eldest princess opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Back then, before Concubine Qing died, only the Empress Dowager Zhou was alone?
Empress Dowager Zhou looked up at the two of them, "Now, you understand why, right?"
Yun Ji didn't understand it yet, but the eldest princess Yun Yun suddenly reacted, "Back then, before the mother concubine died, she asked someone to bring a letter to General Gu. ”
"Not bad. Empress Dowager Zhou nodded, "In fact, the reason why that letter was successfully sent out of the palace and into the hands of that General Gu was because of the mourning family's efforts. Of course, she didn't do this to help Concubine Qing, but to make the first emperor have some kind of misunderstanding......
Later, as she expected, the first emperor misunderstood Concubine Qing at the last moment, and finally before closing his eyes, he abandoned the previous edict and changed his mind, and still passed the throne to his son......
These past events, Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't want to mention them in front of the juniors now. What she wants to tell everyone is......
"Back then, the letter that Concubine Qing wrote to General Gu was incomplete. Therefore, there are some words that General Gu probably can't understand. And this has probably become General Gu's most regrettable thing. So, what did Concubine Qing say before she died...... I think General Gu is probably very concerned. Empress Dowager Zhou said.
Yun Ji also reacted. "Therefore, Wang Qiuyu handed you over to me because he wanted me to take you south to meet that General Gu, which can be regarded as a help to me. He said thoughtfully.
"Not bad. Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the child appreciatively, "At the beginning, the mourning family had inadvertently revealed this matter to the child in Qiuyu. But she didn't want to, she actually took this matter to heart. So, when she guessed that you were going south, she asked you to take the mourning family with her. Probably, I want to use the mourning family as a bargaining chip, and I want to help you win over that General Gu. ”
Yun Ji nodded, "So, Imperial Grandmother, can you tell your grandson what that Concubine Qing said before she died?"
Hearing him ask, even the eldest princess Yunyun couldn't help but widen her eyes and look over.
But she didn't want to, Empress Dowager Zhou just shook her head. "Ji'er, you don't have to ask, the mourning family won't tell you. Back then, the last words left by Concubine Qing before she died were indeed related to General Gu. However, the mourning family had promised her back then, and those words could only be said to General Gu alone. So,"
Saying this, Empress Dowager Zhou turned to look in the direction of the eldest princess. "So, Yunyun, you don't have to think about it anymore, and the mourning family won't tell you either. Of course, now you can also kill the mourners. In that case, the mourners will take that secret with them and go to hell together. ”
Yun Ji glanced at his aunt.
The eldest princess frowned slightly.
If what Zhou said is true, then he really can't kill her now. Otherwise, General Gu was afraid that he would not be happy.
Anyway, in a few days, we will reach the south. When the time comes, after seeing General Gu, she will dispose of this slut again, that is.
The eldest princess looked up at Empress Dowager Zhou and snorted coldly. "Queen Mother, you are so self-conscious. ”
With that, she brushed her sleeves away.
Yun Ji did not leave immediately, but bent down and bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Zhou.
"Thank you, Grandmother. He said suddenly, then turned to leave.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the back of the child leaving and smiled again.
Very good, this kid really understood what he meant, and he didn't waste his last bit of kindness. ----If she dies now, then in front of General Gu, Yun Ji and Yun Yun will not have any advantage. And if you take her to see General Gu, then this favor will be counted on Yun Ji's body.
After all, over the years, General Gu has probably always wanted to know what that woman said before she died, and did she mention herself at the last moment?
