102, the crit of truth
At that time, Emperor Yongping was not the crown prince of the emperor's favor, but by chance, with the support of the princess and a cadre of courtiers to ascend to that position, he was not taught as a prince since he was a child, and the emperor has been trained for so many years, but he still let some courtiers sit big.
For example, there is a cabinet Yang Gelao, as well as a series of courtiers such as the British Minister, who have promoted their voices and contacted their in-laws over the years, and have formed a force.
And the harem, although the queen mother is the emperor's mother-in-law, she is not very in charge, but the emperor is a filial son, and generally speaking, the emperor will not refute the queen mother's intentions.
For example, the marriage between the fifth prince and Zhang Ying, he knew that there was something greasy in it, but he still made a marriage will.
The marriage of the Holy Decree is different from the decency of the Queen Mother's decree.
Gu Nian heard that the Queen Mother had summoned her, and after thinking about it, he knew that Zhang Ying must have been angry and snatched the peony flower and sued the Queen Mother.
Xiao Yue pursed his lips and looked at the big eunuch of Yongfu Palace with an unkind face, he wanted to enter the palace with Gu Nian, but he saw the big eunuch step forward and said, "The queen mother only summoned the princess, and it is not good for the prince to go to the harem land......"
Gu Nian walked to Xiao Yue's side, "You just wait at home, the Queen Mother is a kind person, and she won't embarrass me for a flower." ”
If the Queen Mother really wants to be embarrassed, she will not let the great eunuch of Yongfu Palace come to pass the word, even if Xiao Yue is favored by the emperor, but the emperor still has to be respectful in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother really won't embarrass Gu Nian, but after Gu Nian arrived at Yongfu Palace, she held Zhang Ying to apologize to Gu Nian, how could Zhang Ying be willing to apologize to Gu Nian, but the situation is stronger than people, she relies on the favor of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is angry and doesn't favor her, according to the current situation in the British Mansion, her life will be more and more difficult.
Gu Nian would really ask Zhang Ying to apologize to her, she said with a smile, "It's just a small dispute between concubines, where do you need this, speaking of which, courtiers are younger brothers and sisters, and they should give good things to their sisters-in-law." ”
But the Queen Mother also knew that her grandmother had worked hard to raise her courtiers since she was a child, and the courtiers wanted to make her happy. Only then did she think of sending a pot of rare flowers to her to appreciate, who would have thought that the fifth sister-in-law, her vision was also good, and she asked the courtiers to say, it was really not a family, and she did not enter a family. ”
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "That's it, the family should be fine." ”
Gu Nian smiled and lowered her eyes, it was impossible for her and Zhang Ying to love each other, not to mention the Fifth Prince and Xiao Yue, just say that the British Duke dug so many graves and did such unconscionable things, she didn't spit three mouthfuls when she saw Zhang Ying, which was already good.
*
After Xiao Yue sent Gu Nian into the carriage, he stood in place for a while, lifted his feet and went to the outer courtyard, and just after passing the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw someone chasing after him, and kept shouting, "Lord, Lord." ”
Xiao Yue frowned, turned around, and saw that it was Ji's nurse, Mama Tian.
Mama Tian stopped panting, and after panting, she said to Xiao Yue, "Lord Wang, the concubine is sick, can you go and see her?" ”
Xiao Yue said, "If you are sick, you will go to the Tai Hospital to find a doctor, and this king is not a doctor, and you can't treat her when you go to see her." ”
Mama Tian begged, "Lord, the concubine is your mother after all, she gave birth to you in October, she used to do wrong, but at that time, the old prince had just gone, and the concubine was sad in her heart, and asked the prince to be considerate of her." ”
Xiao Yue was unmoved, "This king respects your age, so I have only listened to you here for a long time, if you continue to say this, then it is better to save it." ”
Mama Tian pulled out a very reluctant smile, looked at the tall man in front of her, and said, "It's Mama who said the wrong thing, usually the concubine is demented, but just now, she suddenly came to her senses and said that she wanted to see you." I'm going to tell you why it did that to you back then. ”
Xiao Yue's heart moved slightly, and Zhang Chunzi said that she was stimulated, and she didn't know when she would get better.
He really wanted to know why Ji did that to him when he was a child.
He pursed his lips and motioned for Mama Tian to lead the way.
In the main courtyard, there was silence, since he came back from the Yasukuni Mansion, the Ji family was closed in the main courtyard, and Xiao Yue was lying on the bed when he came in. Hearing the footsteps at the door, her eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes, and with the help of Mama Tian, she leaned on the head of the bed and looked at him fixedly
Suddenly, the corners of her mouth bent, her expression became extraordinarily kind, and she looked particularly sober, she stretched out her hand towards Xiao Yue,
"Yue'er, come here, let me take a good look at you."
As she spoke, tears fell, and Xiao Yue stood a foot away from her, looking at her expressionlessly.
Ji smiled bleakly, "Mother knows that I can't stand you for so many years." That was done to you back then. ”
She paused, took a deep breath, and looked refreshed.
Xiao Yue listened, but was not moved, and looked at her with a smile on his hands.
Ji's sad tears kept falling, like pearls with broken threads, rolling down one after another, and her hand was stretched out in the direction of Xiao Yue like that, no matter whether Xiao Yue could pass or not, she kept stretching out like that.
"You are like me, like that, hurting you is like hurting my mother herself, in the end, it is the flesh that fell from my body, how can I not be sad?"
"At that time, your father went, and he left us orphans and widows for the sake of that majesty, how could my mother not complain? When you were born, he rejoiced. ”
"He is so happy, why can he still leave us ruthlessly? Don't want me? For so many years, I haven't figured it out. Here's why. ”
She looked at Xiao Yue, her eyes were dissatisfied with guilt and regret, "Over the years, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother, and I am sorry for you." ”
Her right hand has been stretched straight and straight, as if it is so humble, as long as Xiao Yue touches it lightly.
"I know that my time is running out, but unfortunately, my mother understands too late."
In this way, Xiao Yue's expression did not move slightly, but it made Xiao Yue's footsteps move, as if to determine something, he stepped forward and held the hand.
Ji's gaze gradually moved up from his arm to his angular face.
She looked at Xiao Yue without blinking, and said that Xiao Yue looked like her, but she didn't feel it at all.
When she dreams back at midnight, she will ask herself, does he really look like her?
"Mother has often dreamed that your father said that he was too lonely over there, so I am about to go to see him, can I let my mother hug you again at the end."
She raised her hand and wiped her tears, "It's all bad for my mother, I didn't want you when I was a child, but now I want to make up for it, if there is a next life, my mother will definitely be good to you." ”
Xiao Yue's eyes widened slightly, and there was disbelief in his eyes, he squinted and looked at Ji carefully, his face moved slightly.
Mama Tian was also shocked on the side, she couldn't believe that these words came out of Ji's mouth, this is probably a person's death, and her words are also good?
The thought of this made her heart ache like a pinprick.
Xiao Yue reached out and hugged Ji's thin body.
Ji's tears flowed down, and in disbelief, she patted Xiao Yue's back.
Xiao Yue let her slap and didn't say a word.
Ji's hand suddenly slid down, his expression suddenly sharpened, and a small dagger slipped out of his sleeve and stabbed Xiao Yue's neck with his backhand.
Xiao Yue tilted his head, pushed Ji Shi, twisted her hand, and the blade slid across the skin, and with a force, thin beads of blood appeared.
Seeing that the matter was defeated, Ji's eyes were red, his expression was crazy, and when he saw that he was not stabbed, he struggled and wanted to stab Xiao Yue again, but his hand was tightly held by Xiao Yue.
"!" Mama Tian was shocked, pounced on the crazy Ji family, and kept begging Xiao Yue for mercy.
"Lord, lord, the concubine has a bad brain, she doesn't know what she did. Lord, don't take it to heart. ”
Ji's hysterical needle prick, trying to break free from Xiao Yue's control, but how could she withstand Xiao Yue's strength?
Ji's five internal burns, grief and self-control, glaring at Xiao Yue angrily, that gaze is not like looking at his son, but destroying the enemy, hating to drink his blood, eat his flesh, gnaw his bones, and sleep on his skin.
Ji's pupils dilated, and the old Jin King glared at her angrily and said, "You lied to me, you obviously weren't her, and you made me disobey my mother and let me force her into the nunnery, with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha as a companion, and you let me hurt her." ”
Is he blind and recognizes the wrong person, what does it matter to her? She never said that she was a girl from the Ji family.
She thought she was married to a lover, but she didn't expect it to be a wolf-hearted thing.
And her children.
Ji Shi struggled violently again, the strength was so great that Mama Tian almost couldn't hold her, Xiao Yue threw her hand hatefully, regardless of the injury on his hand.
Turn around and leave.
Ji's voice sounded mournfully, "Evil obstacles, calamity, you were born to defeat me, you were born to defeat me, if you live for a day, I will not have peace for a day." ”
"Scourge, Evil, you are the Scourge of our mother and daughter."
Ji screamed hysterically at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue stopped and glanced at Ji, who had fallen into madness, he knew from the beginning that he couldn't expect anything from Ji, but seeing her so sad, it was undeniable that his hard heart was a little moved.
Thankfully, it's just a little bit.
He looked at Ji who was cursing endlessly, his eyes were sad and joyless, this wound would even pay for the pain she endured when she gave birth to him.
Just, mother and daughter? She said mother and daughter?
She never gave birth to him, where did she come from?
He took a step forward and looked at Ji's, only to hear Ji's strange laughter,
"You seed, you are not my child, you are not, you are the child of that slut, you poor worm, you are just an adulterer, you have been a prince for so many years, you are cheap......"
Mama Tian's face turned pale, she looked at Xiao Yue in a panic, and stepped forward to cover Ji's mouth, "Lord Wang, the concubine will only talk nonsense when she is stimulated, her brain is broken......"
Xiao Yue's teeth rattled, his breath became heavy, and he said word by word, "Let, her, say ......"
Mama Tian's head slammed, her legs became weak, and she fell to her knees, almost unable to catch the crazy Ji.
After hiding it for so many years, do you want to fall short at this moment? The prince must not be allowed to know that in a short moment, only this one thought flashed in Mama Tian's mind.
Xiao Yue must not be allowed to know.
Xiao Yue saw Mama Tian's face, her face was cold, "This king will say it again, let her say ......"
Mama Tian was chilled by Xiao Yue's sharp and condensed eyes, and her body trembled unconsciously, "Wang, master, that Mr. Zhang said that the concubine can't be stimulated anymore, so you can let the concubine go......"
"She's already sick and confused, don't take it to heart...... Since the last time she came back from outside, the concubine has been a little confused, and her temperament has become worse and worse. ”
"How can she count what she said at this moment?"
Xiao Yue looked at Mama Tian with a good look, "Whether it is a count or not, you know very well in your heart." ”
Before, he only thought that he was not good, so his mother hated him so much, locked him in a cage, kept him with dogs, and did so many hurtful things to him, forcing him to be like that.
He also thought that his mother loved his father too much, so he couldn't accept his father's departure, so he treated him like this.
His heart was painful, sad, and finally numb, and he was not looking forward to his mother's love.
Even his grandmother once gave up on him.
In this world, it seems that only the emperor's uncle loves him, no, there is still a thought.
However, when the imperial uncle sometimes looked at him, he would show a strange look, as if he could not bear it, and it was a little heavy, he never thought that it was because his father died to save the driver, and when the imperial uncle saw him, he would think of his father.
At the beginning, his father was so looking forward to his arrival, and once carried him to show off in front of the imperial uncle, "This is my child." I have a post. ”
He thought that at least his father had been looking forward to his arrival.
But now, he suddenly understands that his birth is not expected.
Mama Tian didn't want to let go of Ji's hand, but she was just frightened by Xiao Yue's eyes, her hand was soft, and suddenly, Ji's weird smile came again,
"Evil seed, why don't you die, my child is dead, why are you still alive...... My jade is dead, my jade is dead......"
Ji suddenly let out a terrible scream, and Mama Tian climbed forward in horror, "Girl, girl...... Don't scare Mama. ”
Ji Shi turned a deaf ear and still screamed, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness in his heart through this scream, and seemed to shout out the forbearance and grievances he had endured for so many years.
Why did God treat her so unfairly?
What did she do wrong?
When she was young, as soon as the man saw her, he said that he liked her, disobeyed her elders for her, and insisted on recording her in the genealogy of the Ji family, becoming a girl of the Ji family, and she married into the Jin palace with joy.
But her mother-in-law doesn't like her, it doesn't matter, she has the favor of her husband, even if she has not had children for many years, her husband has not complained, and he doesn't even look at other women.
She felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
originally thought that she would be happy forever, and then give birth to a lover's child, a family of three, and harmony.
She is the noble princess of Jin in the eyes of everyone, living like the stars holding the moon.
But the opposite is true.
That day, she was immersed in the joy of being pregnant, he ran to her like a wind, pointed to her nose, "Why are you lying to me, you are not her at all, not her, you liar......"
She didn't know why, how did she lie to him?
On that day, she was walking on the street with her nursing mother, Mama Tian, and it was he who walked up to her and said that he had been looking for her for a long time.
But she didn't know him, after that, he used his tenderness to soften her, she was just an orphan girl whose parents died, she thought that she could only marry an ordinary family in this life, who would have thought that the king of Jin would fall in love with her, and said that she would not marry.
She really melted into his gentle, doting eyes.
What did she use to resist such tenderness?
She was tempted, no matter what, she was going to catch this man.
Later, he knew that the Ji family was kind to her parents, so he wanted to blackmail the people of the Ji family, replaced her as the eldest girl of the Ji family, and forced the eldest girl of the Ji family to enter the nunnery.
She felt guilty about the eldest girl of the Ji family, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have entered the nunnery.
But she also wants to have a good home, so she can only be sorry for the eldest girl of the Ji family.
Later, she donated a lot of sesame oil money to the nunnery, just to make the master in the nunnery treat the Ji family girl better.
Who would have thought that her mercy would be exchanged for such an ending.
She was happy, she had the child they were looking forward to, but he pointed his nose and scolded her for being a liar.
The disappointment and resentment in his eyes made her heartbroken, she had a fetal gas, who knows, one day he came back and said that he would send her to the village to raise the fetus.
She thought he had figured it out, who would have thought that she would actually see the girl of the Ji family there......
He said to her guiltily that he was drunk, and the girl of the Ji family had a spring breeze for a while, and she had a child.
The girl of the Ji family has a bigger belly than her...... It was clearly conceived before her.
Who exactly is a liar......
Afterward...... What happened? Ji only felt that he couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, and just kept screaming with all his strength.
……
Mournful shouts echoed in the courtyard.
"Shut her up." The old lady's angry voice came from the door, her face was full of anger, Mama Tian didn't dare to move, and the two sturdy mammas behind the old lady stepped forward and plugged Ji's mouth with a handkerchief.
"Plug Mama Tian for me too." The old lady commanded in a cold voice.
Mama Tian was struggling, but she knew that the old lady didn't even leave Ji's affection, how could she show mercy to herself?
In the spring of the twelfth year of Yongping, the events of that year and this year after that were deeply engraved in Gu Nian's mind, she used to blame herself very much, if she gave the pot of flowers to Zhang Ying that day, she wouldn't have to enter the palace, she didn't have to enter the palace, would something like that wouldn't have happened.
That day, Gu Nian went to the palace, but she was not reprimanded by the Queen Mother, she sat in the Yongfu Palace, only to feel a pain in her heart, and cold sweat kept coming out.
As a last resort, she said goodbye to the Queen Mother, stumbled into the carriage of the Jin Palace, and kept urging the coachman to return home quickly.
There was only one thought in my mind, hurry back, hurry back.
When she arrived at the palace, she heard Concubine Ji's terrible screams from a long distance, like a soul hook, contracting her heart.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw Xiao Yue rushing out of the main house, and then fell to the ground.
"Ah Yue ......"
Xiao Yue was stunned, his heart seemed to have opened a black hole, absorbing all the bright and brilliant things, leaving only the boundless darkness, which flooded him like a tide, his ears drooped, he couldn't hear any sound, his eyes were blind, and he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly.
stumbled, like a crazy rush out of the main courtyard, the steps under the corridor made him a foot deep, a shallow foot, and the whole person fell to the ground,
There seemed to be an exclamation in his ears, followed by a pair of soft hands holding up his arms, and he smelled a familiar fragrance between his snorts.
He looked up and saw a blurry face, anxious, mouth opening and closing.
He didn't hear what she was saying, but her face gradually became clearer.
She is the person on the tip of his heart, but his identity, so humble, how can he be worthy of her? Even if she is the eldest daughter of a widow among the five unmarried, what about him?
It's not even a concubine!
His birth was so unbearable!
He hated himself, he wanted to run away, he pushed her away, using all the strength of his life.
Caught off guard, Gu Nian was pushed far away, and outside of him, he fell directly to the ground and hit the stone table in the courtyard. Her ears were crooked on the stone bench, and her eardrums tingled.
She was curled up on the ground, her chest aching, her back aching, her ears hurting, and more importantly, her heart hurting......
He pushed her away, the disgust in his eyes, the disgust that went deep into his bones......
But he's not disgusting with himself, he's disgusting with what?
Huang Qi didn't expect Xiao Yue to hurt Gu Nian, and he wanted to catch the New Year, but he didn't, and the people waiting in the yard watched Gu Nian being pushed and watched Gu Nian get hurt.
The old lady in the house heard the noise outside, and with the support of the maid, came out of the back room.
"Niannian, he's so sad, he doesn't know what he's doing, don't blame him."
"Did you hurt anywhere? Quick, go and call the doctor. ”
Gu Nian had already realized that the matter might be related to Xiao Yue's life experience, her body trembled slightly, and she stood up with the support of Astragalus.
She said, "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law is fine, the prince ran out like this, I don't worry, I want to go out and have a look." ”
The old lady stood on the steps and looked at Gu Nian condescendingly, although her face was pale, there was confusion and sadness in the depths of her eyes.
She beckoned Gu Nian to step forward.
"Let him be quiet, if he can't pass this hurdle, he is not worthy of being a descendant of my Xiao family."
Gu Nian's whole heart tugged, she also knew that she couldn't catch up with Xiao Yue like this, but she still hated to comfort Xiao Yue by Xiao Yue's side at the moment.
She helped the old lady into the inner room, Concubine Ji was lying motionless on the bed, Mama Tian had a handkerchief in her mouth, she was gagged, and when she saw Gu Nian coming in, she screamed.
Gu Nian helped the old lady sit down on the Luohan bed, and motioned for Astragalus to step forward and take off the handkerchief from Mama Tian's mouth.
I saw that after Mama Tian took off her handkerchief, she struggled and shouted loudly, "What are you doing here?" I am the concubine's envy, and the deed of sale is also in the concubine's hands, and I am not a member of the palace at all, why do you treat me like this? ”
Gu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly, "Mama Tian is so majestic, we treat you like this, I don't know what you plan to do?" ”
When Mama Tian saw Gu Nian's cold face, just like when Xiao became more and more angry, her heart suddenly panicked, and she plucked up her courage and said,
"I am the person of the concubine, the princess treats me like this, how can I have the face to see the princess? She's your mother-in-law after all. ”
Gu Nian looked over, his eyes were full of mockery, "You are very loyal to the princess, do you know the dumb woman?" ”
Mama Tian's face changed when she heard this, and she said indignantly, "I know that I can't keep her, I can't keep her, the princess is still too soft-hearted." ”
Gu Nian sneered, the princess was soft-hearted, it was really the biggest joke in the world.
In the Jin Palace, Gu Nian was interrogating Mama Tian, on the streets of the capital, Xiao Yue rode a horse like a meteor, and the surrounding pedestrians dodged one after another, bumping into each other, pushing each other, chickens and dogs jumping.
Behind him, the dark one was desperately chasing, his face full of anxiety, and he kept whipping the horse.
This scene will remain eternal in the hearts of the people of the capital.
In the Jin Palace, Mama Tian faced Gu Nian's questioning, cold sweat flowed on her forehead, her palms were wet, her heartbeat was fast and slow, and her throat was tight for a while.
