53, back then, the truth was surprising.
The eldest princess squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the old lady's personal grandmother, Mama Bi.
The hair is neatly combed into a bun at the back of the head, without a trace of messy hair, and the clothes on the body are mainly comfortable, and the fabric is not particular.
At this moment, the eldest princess of the protector was silent, and Mama Bi was calm, kneeling there with her head bowed in a proper manner.
After a long time, the eldest princess sighed lightly, "You are the son of the Duke of Qi." ”
"The slave's grandfather is on an errand in the Gu family."
Bi Mama couldn't figure out the thoughts of the eldest princess of the country, but she understood one thing that the woman who could be given the title of 'Protector of the Country' by the emperor was certainly not so simple, and she would definitely not gossip with her as a slave.
No matter how you guess, Mama Bi answered the questions of the eldest princess of the country respectfully.
The eldest princess of the protector took a deep look at Mama Bi, and suddenly smiled,
"This palace knows that you have three children, a son and two daughters, and now they are all married.
However, everyone has forgotten that you still had a son, and that was your firstborn, right? ”
Mama Bi, who was calm, finally couldn't help but raise her head, and her heart jumped.
As if she hadn't noticed Mama Bi's strange appearance, the eldest princess closed her eyes and continued,
"Your husband was waiting by the old man's side, and he was well-informed, and on the way out with the old man, he fell in love with a peasant girl.
At that time, you had just conceived your eldest son, who later died, and after learning what your husband had done, you were so angry that you almost had a difficult birth, and the child was born weak.
When I was one year old, I was sick and needed a 30-year-old ginseng for medicine, and you spent all your money and couldn't buy it.
You went to ask the old lady, but she didn't give it to you. Am I right? ”
Mama Bi was drenched in cold sweat and looked up at the princess who protected the country.
The princess of the protector tightened the corners of her lips, and from this angle, the nasolabial folds on her cheeks were a little obvious, showing a little old.
This old lady is a little cold and tenacious with a beak that cannot be denied.
The eldest princess of the protector said slowly,
"Mama Bi, you are a smart person, in the eyes of your master, when will the next person be a person? Not only is it not a human, but it is not even as good as a cat or dog.
Why did your eldest son die? Because he is not even as good as cats and dogs, he does not deserve to use such good ginseng. ”
"How many more years can you be a messenger? How long can you benefit your family? Besides, what can you get in the Gu family?
Mama Bi had been taken here from the way to see her daughter, and she knew what it was for from the time the eldest princess mentioned her son.
At that moment, she put her hands on the ground, her forehead touched the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Whatever the princess wants to ask, the slave must know everything, and she will say everything." ”
The eldest princess smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, there is nothing wrong with being a person and knowing current affairs, I just need to know what happened when Jingning gave birth." The baby has not been dropped. ”
Mama Bi fell to the ground in a daze, and looked up at the eldest princess of the protector in amazement, "...... you"
As she spoke, her mind raced, and she was silent for a moment.
"Say." The princess of the protector said sharply, and the person stood up suddenly.
At that moment, Mama Bi suddenly understood that some people were still beasts even if they were asleep.
"Slave maid...... I don't know. ”
The Protector Princess smiled softly, "I don't know? Her voice raised, "You don't want to test the patience of this palace, without you, although it is a little slower, you can still find out the truth." ”
Mama Bi closed her eyes and said slowly, "I want the best paddy field of 200 acres, so that our family can have a support in the future." ”
The eldest princess said, "That's very simple, you just need to say it, and you will get the deed of 200 acres when you go out through this door." ”
Mama Bi lowered her eyes, as if reminiscing, and said softly,
"That old lady took the whole family to incense, saying that she was going temporarily, but in fact she had been preparing for a long time. When the old lady was still thinking about what excuse to let the county lord of Jingning go with her, the county lord of Jingning himself said that he wanted to follow, which of course he couldn't ask for. ”
"From beginning to end, going to incense is just for the county lord of Jingning to produce in advance, even if there is no thunder, rain and lightning that day, there will be other ways to frighten the county lord."
"I chose to do it outside because there were many people in the family, the old grandfather was here at that time, and the third master who treated the county lord as a baby, and the old lady couldn't show it at all."
The eldest princess's eyes darkened, and she gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, barely allowing her body to sit up straight.
Mama Bi's memories continued, "At the beginning, the old lady prepared a baby, in order to replace the child born by the lord of Jingning, whether it was dead or alive. ”
The eldest princess squinted her eyes and stared straight at Mama Bi, "Why did she do this?" ”
Mama Bi shook her head, "It's not clear, back then, the old lady trusted Sister Yu more, and she was asked to do a lot of private things, and it wasn't until later, when Sister Yu died, that it was my turn."
However, when he was about to attack the lord of Jingning, the slave was present. ”
"So in the end, the child changed or not? How did you change it? Where did the changed child go? The eldest princess of the protector suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Mama Bi.
Than Mama prostrate on the ground, did not answer her any questions, but said,
"Just now the princess said that the old lady didn't give ginseng, so the eldest son of the slave died, right or wrong, in fact, my son used ginseng, but it was too late to save the child's life.
The ginseng was not given by the old lady, but the maid of the county lord of Jingning saw that I was crying and did not look like a man, so she gave the county lord of Jingning, and then the county lord rewarded me with a ginseng.
But in the end it was too late. ”
The eldest princess gritted her teeth, "In this case, why do you take revenge, you know all this, why don't you tell Jing Ning?" ”
"The slave maid also wanted to tell the county lord, but at that time, the life of the slave maid's family was pressed on the hands of the old lady, the old lady was the master of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid knew that if she could listen to her well, she could live a good life."
The eldest princess of the protector stared at Mama Bi deadly, "If you want to live a good life, you don't care about your benefactor's life or death, what will happen in the end?" ”
"Sister Yu was in good health at the time, but she was sick the day before she went to Shangxiang, so the old lady could only take me, it's not that I don't want to help Lord Jingning."
Mama Bi cried.
"What did the wicked woman say then?"
Mama Bi hesitated.
"Say."
Mama Bi gritted her teeth, "After the old lady launched the Jingning County Lord, she opened up all the maids and women she brought one by one, and then asked me to take the child away, and after suffocating to death, find a secluded place and bury it unconsciously." ”
"The slave and maid responded on the surface, but at that time in the room, only the slave and maid, the old lady, and the midwife who said that they were called temporarily, but in fact, they were specially prepared.
The child of the county lord of Jingning fainted after birth.
The two children were both baby girls, and the slave maid was only pretending to change at that time, and the current five girls are the children of the Jingning County Lord and the third master.
At that time, I was in the temple, and after I was born, the old lady went out, and the funny thing is that she was afraid that the Buddha would blame her, so I didn't dare to play again when I changed my child. I thought that this would cover up her vicious thoughts. ”
"The slave maid just wanted to go out with the fake baby, and the third master came with the doctor and the stable woman, and the old lady thought that I had changed, and specially greeted the third master to help me cover.
I didn't kill the fake baby, I sent it to a childless couple, and now I'm doing well. ”
I don't know how long it took for the princess to finally open her eyes, her eyes were bright and scary, staring at Mama Bi and saying,
"I believe everything you say, except why did you prepare a baby girl at that time? How did you know that Jing Ning would have a daughter? Also, why on earth did that wicked woman torture us like this? ”
Bi Mama said, "Regardless of whether the county lord gives birth to a boy or a girl, it will only be a daughter in the end, and after the county lord gave birth at that time, the old lady had already put chronic poison in the county lord's soothing soup." ”
The eldest princess of the protector was heartbroken when she heard this, and she wished that the old lady Yu was in front of her eyes at this moment, and she would probably strangle her.
"So why did she do that? Is it just because Shi'an is not her biological son? So this is the black hand? She has done so many bad things, didn't the old man feel it at all? ”
The eldest princess gritted her teeth.
"Why do you do this, the slave maid really doesn't know, the old lady does know that the third master is not her biological son, so she doesn't like him since she was a child, the old man doesn't know that the old lady has long known the truth, and often persuades the old lady to be nice to the third master.
As long as the old man persuaded him, the old lady was very bad to the third master for a period of time, but the third master didn't know anything, and always wanted to get the old lady's love.
The old lady often laughed at the third master in front of the slave and maid for being a fool and a, how could she like him? felt that the third master had robbed her of everything from her biological child.
As for why the old man didn't find out, it was because someone was helping the old lady, and the poison given to the county lord was given by that person, as for that person, who it was, I only knew that it was a nobleman.
Every time the old lady met the man, she would not let people wait by her side, and the man in Izumo Temple had a special private room, and every time the old lady went to see him, the man would wait for her in advance. ”
The eldest princess of the country has heard that Gu Shi'an investigated the poisoning of the county lord of Jingning and Gu Nian, and Gu Nian's former grandmother also mentioned a person behind the scenes, a person who was called 'grandfather'.
"Do you dare to swear with your child's life that everything you say is true? And you said that the child has not changed, where is that child now? There is also poison, how long did Jing Ning eat the poison last? ”
Jing Ning was poisoned, and no one around her knew what role those waiting maids played in it? Really know nothing, or accomplice?
Either way, it's an unforgivable sin.
The hateful thing is that some people have died, and I don't know if it's because of the end of their lifespan or because of an accident.
The eldest princess of the protector was very frightened, there was a person who began to lay out more than ten years ago, or even more years ago, step by step, first murdering Jingning, and then Niannian, or the exposure of the son-in-law's outer room identity was also premeditated?
She was sad in her heart, her Jingning died in vain, and she didn't even dare to tell her husband and family that she must have found some clues......
The eldest princess's face slowly calmed down, "Mama Bi, you get up and speak." ”
Mama Bi looked at the princess protector in surprise, stood up hard, and only listened to the princess princess of the protector,
"This palace doesn't want your life. You can rest assured, and the paddy fields that are good for you will also be given to you, and this palace keeps your life because I want you to continue to return to Mrs. Yu to do things.
If you do it well, no matter what, your family will be fine, and you will revoke your slavery......"
Mama Bi's heart was shocked, and she blurted out, "What do you want me to do?" ”
The eldest princess sneered, "I will definitely not let you change the child again, you just need to stay by the side of the poisonous woman honestly, if she wants to go to Izumo Temple again, you will notify me." ”
Recently, there have been so many things in the Duke of Qi's mansion, the queen mother made a decree to reprimand the Yu family, as well as the Yang family, and strictly did not allow the two to enter the palace in the future, and the Duke of Qi Gu Liang Dong there, the only idle position on his body was also taken away, and the emperor asked him to react at home.
As for Gu Zhicheng, he was not the son of the world, but he said that he was the son of the world, and he was swaggering and cheating, robbing the people's daughters, and he was already in a big cell.
No matter what, Gu Zhicheng's life is ruined.
Old Madam Yu originally said that she would take the national throne from Gu Liangdong and pass it to the second room, although Emperor Yongping took the excerpt, but it was pressed on the desk, neither accurate nor accurate.
In this way, the Mansion of Qi Guo hung there without embarrassment.
After listening to what Mama Bi said, the eldest princess of the protector was ready to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, so that Yu's poisonous woman died of pain.
Jing Ning's death was so painful, how could she let Yu die happily?
Whatever she cares, she will take away.
The Yu family cares about the title of the Guogong Mansion, and she wants to let this title disappear from now on in the East and leave the country.
Gu Nian was in the Deyue Tower, and he didn't know what kind of torment the eldest princess was going through at the moment, Xiao Yue wanted to take her to the streets, but his entourage said that Emperor Yongping was looking for him and had something important to discuss.
Xiao Yue looked at Gu Nian regretfully and said, "I'll take you out to play next time." ”
Gu Nian shook his head, thinking about how to stay away from this killing god.
"Although you have restrained the toxin now, but it is just that it has not been contained, I have already sent someone to look for Zhang Chunzi, don't be afraid, I will find him soon."
Xiao Yue said to Gu Nian seriously before leaving.
Gu Nian was stunned, she heard Astragalus talk about the ghost hand Zhang Chunzi, and she also knew that this person had disappeared for many years, and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
She shook her head and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Wang, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, God really wants to take back my life, even if there is Zhang Chunzi, it is useless, can he still snatch people in the hands of the king of Hades?" ”
Xiao Yue's face sank, "You are my person, the king of Hades wants to accept you, I have asked me if I agree or not, you just need to take good care of yourself." ”
Gu Nian looked at Xiao Yue inexplicably, when did she become his person? Do you want to be ashamed?
However, Xiao Yue's fierce eyes at the moment made her back feel a dense chill, she could only hang her head and pretend to be dead, it was better to be honest and not provoke him again.
"I said that you are my person, my person, and I will not let you have any problems." Xiao Yue added, as if in this way, Gu Nian really belonged to him.
*
Gu Nian came out of Deyue Tower after Xiao Yue left, and she packed a few snacks that the princess liked to eat and brought them back.
"This dim sum is delicious, not sweet or greasy, and it tastes delicious, and my grandmother must like it." She smiled at Astragalus.
Just as she was about to get into the carriage with a smile on her face, a person suddenly appeared on the side.
"Miss Gu." The man stepped forward in a daze, walked up to Gu Nian, and bowed to Gu Nian to the end.
Gu Nian looked at this young man who rushed over inexplicably, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, his face was thin, and his appearance looked fine, if you ignore the big bags under his eyes.
was made such a big salute by an unfamiliar person, she could only take a step back and salute back, "I don't know if you are ......"
Astragalus whispered in her ear, "Changchun Hou Shizi......"
Gu Nian was stunned, the one who fell into his own pond? The prince of Changchun Hou was stunned, it turns out that the beauty doesn't even know who she is?
"Girl, be careful when you get in the car." Astragalus looked at Changchun Hou Shizi unhappily, what is the matter with this person rushing out so stunned? There are so many people here, and I don't know what rumors will come out tomorrow.
Gu Nian helped Astragalus to enter the car, and when the Hou Shizi of Changchun saw that Gu Nian didn't look at him at all, he suddenly lost his soul and stopped in front of the carriage to prevent the carriage from moving.
Since the last time he and the third princess went to the Gu family to see Gu Wu's girl, other girls can no longer get into his eyes, even the girl he used to love, and the top card in the flower building have become yellow-faced women, how disgusting to look at.
He wanted to go to Gu's house several times to ask for a meeting, but he was blocked from the door, and he heard that Gu Wufei was sick, he was worried, and he wanted his aunt to give a doctor to Gu's house, but he heard that Gu Wugirl lived in the eldest princess of the protectorate.
Today, he finally saw Gu Wugirl, he was really ecstatic, and he rushed over without thinking about it.
"Miss Gu Wu, Cheng Lebao, the prince of the Hou Shizi of Xiachangchun, admires the girl very much...... "The Hou Shizi of Changchun stumbled and said.
Gu Nian frowned, and when Huang Qi saw this, he hurriedly opened the curtain and said, "You are so unreasonable, you stop our girl on the street like this, and say anything to admire, our girl's innocent reputation has been ruined by you."
You shouldn't say such things to our girls, but to those who should say them. ”
Changchun Hou Shizi looked very excited, stopped in front and said, "I was fortunate to meet the girl at the girl's house last time, and the girl's beauty has always remained in my mind, and I can't forget it." ”
Gu Nian felt that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, but it was normal for a gentleman to do such a thing, but if the object was not himself, it would be regarded as a play.
Gu Nian pushed the astragalus, the astragalus nodded, she raised her hand, holding a small pebble in her hand, Changchun Hou Shizi blocked the front like this, which has attracted the attention of passers-by, and some people have stopped and pointed at this side.
"I don't know if the girl can marry me, if I can ask for the girl, I will definitely treat the girl well, and dismiss all the concubines in the family, only Gu Niang is good alone, please think about it."
The Hou Shizi of Changchun stiffened his neck and said words that he thought were affectionate.
Hearing this, Gu Nian laughed, she opened the curtain first, and said, "Shizi's words make me a little confused, I have never had anything to do with you, how do you think that I can stay with you for the rest of my life?" ”
"The girl didn't know, that time in your mansion, when I saw the girl, I knew that the girl was what I wanted, if I could ask the girl to be my wife, I would die without regrets." The Hou Shizi of Changchun yearned for it.
Gu Nian sneered, "This girl doesn't know where you like me, and please tell the prince of the world, I will definitely change, really, you like this girl can't afford it, and please ask the son of the world to respect himself, so people come and go, who do you pretend to be affectionate and meaningful?" ”
"Please also ask the prince to let go, it's not early, we need to go home."
Changchun Hou Shizi wanted to say something, but the astragalus small stone bullet went out, Changchun Hou Shizi's feet were numb and fell to the ground, and the astragalus hurriedly asked the coachman's eldest brother to drive away.
Changchun Hou Shizi fell to the ground, his heart seemed to be stuffed into a mess, painful and astringent, he wanted to tell her that he really liked her.
"Cousin? Why are you here? The fourth prince walked over from the side and looked at the prince of Changchun who fell to the ground in surprise.
The Hou Shizi of Changchun raised his head and saw that it was the fourth prince, and suddenly, his originally dim eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart.
He quickly got up and patted the dust on his body, "I came out for something, I'll go first, cousin, I'll go see my aunt." ”
The fourth prince saw him move in one go, and heard him say that he was going to see his aunt, isn't his aunt his own concubine? He raised his hand and said, "Just me, this king will also enter the palace to see his mother." ”
It's just that the Hou Shizi of Changchun didn't wait for him to go together, but ran away after a while.
*
was stopped by the Hou Shizi of Changchun, Gu Nian was already lit when she got home, and she first carried a snack to see the princess of the protector.
When she entered the inner room, she saw the eldest princess leaning on the couch, and a little girl was beating her feet on the side.
She walked in gently, waved at the little girl, and went up to give her grandmother a leg lift.
The strength of the two is different, the princess of the protector opened her eyes at once, and seeing that it was Gu Nian, she sat up and beckoned, "I'm back, why didn't you say it?" ”
Gu Nian sat next to her and put her arm around the eldest princess, "Nian Nian wants to be filial to her grandmother, and I also brought back several delicious snacks for you to taste." ”
The eldest princess looked at her, her expression was a little complicated, she didn't want to use those things to ruin her granddaughter's happiness at all, she patted Gu Nian's shoulder,
"Nian Nian, my grandmother interrogated the old lady next to the poisonous woman today, and you were not replaced. You're your daddy's child. ”
Gu Nian flattened her mouth, lay on the eldest princess's lap, and suddenly cried, "Really? ”
The eldest princess touched her back lovingly, "Really, you can rest assured now." ”
Gu Nian nodded desperately, don't look at her usually doesn't seem to care at all, but in her heart she actually cares about death, she is afraid that she will not be able to enjoy the love of her grandmother and father with peace of mind.
The eldest princess sighed, and stopped talking, thinking about it, don't tell her about the sin Jing Ning suffered at the beginning, otherwise it will be another layer of burden, and there are some things that adults can bear.
The eldest princess said something else that she could tell Gu Nian, and Gu Nian thought for a while and said, "Grandmother, you said that grandfather, could it be the British grandfather?" ”
Then she recounted the last time she saw the British Duke at Izumoji Temple, and what the British Duke said.
The eldest princess said, "Grandmother knows, I will send someone to investigate." ”
The British Duke and the old Duke of Qi, the anti-king of the first emperor's period, and the old Marquis An Yuanyuan were all close friends, if it was really him, it would be terrible.
The eldest princess of the protector still wanted to ask Gu Nian, but Mama Su hurriedly came in outside and said, "The palace concubine sent someone to ask the cousin to come into the palace tomorrow to talk to her." ”
