Chapter 34: After the Empress
"I wonder what else your Excellency has to say?" The woman turned around abruptly and asked Li Xian with a calm face.
Li Xian's face was not so calm, his voice suddenly became a lot higher-pitched, and then he said word by word: "I don't care what grudge you have with my mother, and no matter what enmity you have between me and me, I just can't bear to see your dead mother live in peace in the spirit of the sky, and I can't bear to feel that your little sister is lonely and helpless, as for you, a stupid person who wants to die, then it's up to you, hehe, you don't want to think about it, with your skills, if you don't get into the palace by chance, you won't have the opportunity to get close to the queen for 10,000 years, even if you are close, what can you do?" Can you really succeed? What's more, after this battle, the palace will inevitably tighten its guard, and the network you relied on last time will definitely be cleaned, and you want to sneak into the palace again, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. It doesn't matter if you send you to death, I just hope that it won't affect your pink and lovely little sister. ”
"Little sister? By the way, I arranged my little sister to a rented house in Jishanfang before the assassination, a few days have passed, I don't know what happened to her, she can't cook, only a little ready-made food, if you eat for a day and a half, it's just that, but now it's three or four days, this, this, my poor little sister, Sister I'm sorry for you, you wait a minute, Sister will look for you. ”
The woman shed tears, then gritted her teeth and wanted to leave, but saw Li Xian and smiled: "Go and go, I hope you don't want to be followed by a master, but let your little sister reveal her identity." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The woman's body stiffened when she heard this, so she had to turn around again, and then said coldly to Li Xian.
"Without other intentions, you can't go anywhere now, so you can only hide here." Li Xian smiled and said lightly.
"My sister doesn't exist, what's the point of me living?"
"If you only know now, you are living for the little sister of your family? That being the case, why did he enter the palace to assassinate himself regardless of his own safety? Li Xianyan sneered even more when he heard this, and said sharply.
"I, I, my mother's revenge is not avenged, I swear not to be a person, then the Wu woman harmed my mother, as a child, how can I not take revenge?" The woman hesitated and struggled for a long time, but still gritted her teeth and said.
"So, do you live for the living, or for the dead?"
"The dead and the alive are the meaning of my life", the woman thought for a moment, and then resolutely said: "My little sister is my only relative in this life, and my mother's revenge cannot be avenged, hum, my whole family, young and old, and countless innocent civilians have been killed by the official army, this blood debt must be repaid with blood." I think that if the little sister knew that I had left her behind to avenge my mother, she would also be very relieved. ”
"Hehe, this is just your wishful thinking, do you want to hear what Ling Mei really thinks?"
Li Xian sneered, clapped his hands, and saw that the door was opened, and then saw a little girl with tears on her face, came to the room, and then hugged the woman, and sobbed lowly: "Sister, don't leave Lin'er, we won't take revenge, let's go back to the countryside and live a good life, okay?" Lin'er has lost her mother and doesn't want to lose Sister A, has Sister ever thought that if Sister A'er leaves this world, Lin'er will be left alone, life is better than death, what is the meaning of living? ”
"Little sister, Lin'er, you, how did you find this place?" The woman couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when she saw the little girl, and hurriedly picked up the little girl and asked with tears in her eyes.
"It was this little minister who came to pick up Lin'er with Sister A's sachet, Lin'er was already dying of hunger at that time, fortunately the little minister arrived in time, otherwise Lin'er would never see Sister Ah again. Sister, this little minister is a good person, she gave the horse to my sister at the beginning, and later saved Lin'er's life, Sister might as well listen to the advice of the little minister and give up revenge. ”
When the woman heard this, she suddenly changed color, and said coldly: "Hmph, what do you know about this girl?" This guy is the son and son of the old demon woman, and naturally wants to be in cahoots with it, this guy is now like this for me, but to set out the rest of the party, as for persuading us to give up revenge, it's just a fool's dream, how did my mother die tragically, you can't forget? If that's the case, Sister would rather kill you, a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”
After finishing speaking, he waved his palm and slapped it at Na Lin'er, but when the palm really reached the girl, after all, he couldn't bear it, sighed quietly, and then said to Li Xian: "You don't have to work in vain, I won't give up revenge, but I won't give up my little sister, and when she grows up, I will definitely enter the palace again and assassinate the poisonous woman." Although I have a hatred with you, it can be seen that I am a sincere gentleman, and it is very inconvenient for me to take my little sister, so I entrust my foot to help take care of it, and there will be a period later. ”
After saying that, the woman wanted to leave again.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian clapped her hands, and she was stopped by the person outside the window again.
"Your Excellency has stopped me from leaving several times, what do you mean?" The woman turned to look at Li Xian and asked angrily.
"Hehe, you actually asked me what I meant, you handed over my sister to my care, but you went to find another opportunity to assassinate my mother, you use your brain to think about it, is there any reason in this world? Your mother is a mother, is not my mother a mother? Li Xian looked at each other-for-tat and said lightly.
But unexpectedly, the woman instantly became like crazy, and cried out loudly: "Your mother is also worthy of being called mother?" How can this woman be worthy of being called a mother by killing her former sister in disregard of her faith, and later strangling her own daughter with her own hands, in order to frame the queen and queen? In his eyes, only power is the closest, this wicked woman can use anyone for power, sacrifice anyone, you can not risk your life to protect this person now, but one day, if you threaten her power, this wicked woman will still get rid of you, and she will not leave any mercy. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Xianyan smiled indifferently when he heard this: "I naturally know this matter in my heart, but I don't need to mention it, but no matter what, this person is my biological mother after all, and the love of licking calves is still there, so I can't watch his tragic death." What's more, as soon as my mother dies, the current saint will definitely be changed to a queen, so can I still keep my position? I am afraid that the late crown prince Li Zhong and the king of Qi Li Shangjin are certain examples. Besides, is my mother as vicious as you say? What you say is nothing more than hearsay, and what you say is just a message made up by others in retaliation, so how can you believe it? ”
The woman laughed wildly when she heard this, and after a while she said sadly, "How can this matter be a rumor? After the former sister of this wicked woman, my mother died, thanks to her former good sister, I testify to my feet with my own experience, I don't know if I believe it? ”
"Huh? Good sisters of yesteryear? How did I not know that my mother still had a good sister who was killed? I wonder who this good sister is? Have I ever heard of it? Li Xian actually believed the other party's words, but he wanted to take the opportunity to ask the woman to tell the identity behind it, so he pretended to ask knowingly and said something from the other party's mouth.
How could that woman, though intelligent, know such cunning methods? Thinking that Li Xian was knowingly asking, he sneered: "Since you are pretending to be confused, the girl will open the skylight and speak brightly, explain everything clearly, and see what kind of face you have to defend the evil woman." ”
The woman thought for a moment, then turned back and sat on the couch, then sighed deeply, and said slowly: "My mother's original name was Chen Shuozhen, and she was just a woman from a good family, but she was persecuted by such a strong and cruel official, and finally had no choice but to embark on a road of rebellion. ”
"Chen Shuozhen? You say that Lingtang is Chen Shuozhen, Emperor Wenjia? The first female emperor in history? Li Xian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"I didn't expect that I had not only heard the name Chen Shuozhen, but also knew the name of Emperor Wenjia, yes, my mother is Chen Shuozhen, I am the eldest daughter of Emperor Wenjia, named Tong Xiandou, my little sister is the second daughter of Emperor Wenjia, named Tong Xianlin, now I know the grievances between my mother and daughter and your mother, right?"
"I see, but I still don't understand the matter, how did my mother become sisters with Ling Tang? Lingtang's death was related to the encirclement and suppression of the official army, why did he say that he was victimized by my mother? Li Xian still didn't understand the hidden secret, so he couldn't help asking.
But I heard Tong Xiandou say: "How can I know about this matter?" Let me speak for your sake. At the beginning, the wicked woman was selected as a talented person of the Taizong Dynasty, but she never thought that when Taizong was seriously ill, she would hook up with the emperor of the dynasty. Hmph, this person is dissolute, it is really shameless, but the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Taizong was originally extremely disgusted with this person, and later there was a rumor in the palace that 'after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, there is a heroine Wu Wang generation has the world', disgusted with this woman, so it is convenient to order that the concubine will become a nun after there are no heirs in the palace before her death. So this wicked woman was arranged to become a nun in Ganye Temple. At that time, this woman had lost all her glory in the past, and was reduced to an ordinary bhikshuni, but because of her beauty, she was molested by several hooligans and scoundrels. When the wicked woman was crying out helplessly, my mother, who was also a monk in Ganye Temple, helped me and drove the bandits away, and the wicked woman was grateful to my mother and hoped that my mother would protect her in the future, so she proposed to become sisters with my mother. ”
"Is there such a thing? It's really fate, but it's too coincidental, right? If I remember correctly, Lingtang was in Wuzhou when the incident started, and how many miles away from Chang'an? Why did Lingtang become a monk here? As soon as Li Xian came up, he heard the question inside, and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Hehe, do you think I'm going to be so boring and make up such a ridiculous thing to deceive the world? Alas, if it is said that there is a fate, it is also a bad fate, if it were not for this acquaintance, my mother may not have been defeated. ”
After Tong Xiandou finished speaking, he sighed lightly, and said: "My mother was taught by artists at the age of fifteen, awarded martial arts and the art of war, and said to my mother, after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the country changed hands, although my mother is a woman, but she has the appearance of the son of heaven, so that my mother can prepare early, so that she can act at the necessary time and conform to the will of the people." ”
"It's this rumor again, hehe, I don't know what the magic of this rumor is? Even Chen Shuozhen and others are convinced, in fact, thinking about it, this kind of rumor itself does not make much waves, but once combined with the ambition of people with a heart, it will have a huge destructive force, the fall of the Sui Dynasty is of course related to Yang Guang's tyranny, but who dares to deny the impact of the rumors of 'the eighteen sons of the world'? Li Xian listened to Tong Xiandou's words, although he didn't speak, but since then he has been resistant and wary of the person who made up and spread rumors, and even he didn't think that this would be a valuable wealth for him.
