The news that the eldest princess of the protector of the country, the wife of Gu Shi'an, the king of Su, and the lord of Jingning was still alive spread throughout the capital, like a thunderclap on the ground, and the people who were bombed couldn't sleep.

Everyone only heard such a single news, there was no exact inside story, no one in the know came out to say it, and almost everyone had a version that everyone guessed.

Whether it is the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, the Jin Palace, or the Su Palace, the doors are closed, and they do not receive anyone who comes to the door to inquire for news.

For a while, the courtyard of the old family with a bit of in-laws with these three families became lively, and everyone wanted to know something from these people's mouths.

But these people don't know whether they know or don't know, anyway, their mouths are tighter than mussel shells, and they can't get any news.

No matter what, it is a fact that the county lord of Jingning is not dead, and it is also a fact that Princess Su is still her.

No wonder King Su hasn't continued the strings for so many years, it turned out to be all for her.

Originally, those who were about to move and wanted to say goodbye to King Su were immediately honest when they heard the news.

If it was someone else, since he was the lord of Jingning, it would be impossible for anyone around King Su to get involved.

However, King Su is now a big celebrity around the emperor, the red and purple kind.

It's just that, where has the county lord of Jingning gone all these years?

There is no one who is not curious.

Outsiders are curious, the eldest princess of the country, and these family members who care about her also want to know what happened back then.

Everyone once thought that Jing Ning's body was not found in the coffin because it was stolen by the old thief of the British Gong and burned to ashes.

At the beginning, in the garden of the British Mansion, I did come back with several white porcelain jars.

That is to say, when the British dug up the grave and robbed the coffin, there was a corpse inside.

It's all so unbelievable and creepy.

They even have an enemy so hidden.

Who is so angry with the people of the Zhou family, but it is just a married girl, and he will not let it go.

What kind of hatred is it that is worth paving so much for them, just to hurt the county lord of Jingning or the Zhou family.

It was extremely noisy outside, but the courtyard of the Marquis of Anyuan, the eldest princess, was silent.

The eldest princess of the protectorate supported her head with one hand, she has not slept well in the past few days, it is really too big a surprise, she feels that she is dreaming, so big that she is afraid that when she wakes up from sleep, everything will be in vain and disappear.

"Mother, why are you staying up like this? Lie down and rest. ”

The eldest princess came to her senses when she heard the voice of the county lord of Jingning, and sat up straight.

She looked at her daughter beside her, she was still wearing a plain shirt, and she didn't wear any beaded hairpins on her head, only a hairpin held her long hair, and the hands that were folded in front of her were not as delicate and white as the noblewomen in Beijing, and her face......

She looked away, her eyes red.

If she finds out who killed her daughter, she will definitely use the most vicious death method in the world to make them die.

The daughter she grew up in the palm of her hand, the daughter who was originally bright and sunny, what has she experienced over the years?

Lord Jingning sighed, sat beside her, and said softly, "Mother, isn't my daughter coming back?" Don't be sad. ”

"I ...... in my heart," the eldest princess spoke slowly, but she only said half a sentence and let out a heavy sigh.

The county lord of Jingning knew what she meant, she felt sorry for her, she didn't think about it, and one day when her family was reunited, she thought that she would be alone and looking for an enemy.

Maybe he can't wait to find the enemy, and he has already died in vain.

After she groaned for a while, she said, "My daughter is already very happy to have today. ”

"That's right. Grandmother, we still have to focus on the present, as for the mother's affairs, we can investigate it well. Gu Nian walked in from the outside.

"Niannian, are you here?" The eldest princess beckoned to Gu Nian.

After Gu Nian greeted the eldest princess and the county lord of Jingning, he sat down.

The next person served tea, and the eldest princess drank a few big sips in a row to stabilize her mind, she looked at the county lord of Jingning,

"We've been overjoyed these days, so we haven't asked you what really happened. What the hell is going on? What happened back then? ”

The county lord of Jingning's eyes were red, and he said slowly, "At that time, I also thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes again, I had already arrived in a ruined temple outside Yanzhou City, thousands of miles away, and it was already a month after I 'died'. ……”

It was about a very painful memory, and the county lord of Jingning only said a little bit and stopped there.

The hand that the eldest princess put on the table couldn't help but tighten, only to feel that the hairs stood upside down, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

This person is really powerful, and he can quietly transport people out without being discovered.

can still wipe the traces so clean, during this time, she scattered people, even if the time has passed so long, but there is no trace at all, it is too powerful.

Who the hell is it? Or was it the revenge she received for supporting the first emperor's ascension to the throne?

Or is it the enemy that the old Marquis An Yuanhou made on the battlefield?

If you are an enemy of an enemy country, you can't do things so neatly, and you must have an internal response in Beijing.

Well, it's because of her, because of the events of the year.

Thinking of this, she shivered fiercely.

After the shiver, her anger rose, like a prairie fire, burning her to the ground.

If it was because of her, it would be nice if these people came to her, why embarrass her daughter?

The eldest princess of the Protectorate only felt a splitting headache.

The county lord of Jingning lowered his head slightly, raised it in the middle of a sound, and said, "After I woke up, I wanted to come back, and I also heard the news from home, and I could hear the news from home, but I want to come back, or send a letter to ...... home."

She smiled wryly, "Fortunately, my father taught his daughter kung fu, otherwise, I would have died when I woke up." ”

"I have sent letters to Gujia in Beijing and Jiangnan, whether it is a post station or a businessman, I want to do everything I can to ask someone to send letters, and in the end those letters will return to me."

A cold color flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess of the Protector, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Who the hell is it?" ”

Lord Jingning shook his head, "For so many years, I can't find any traces, and after I wake up, if I don't go home, those people will let me go."

As soon as I show that I want to go home, those people will come out like rats watching in the dark. ”

"After trying a few times, I gave up, although it is said that the capital has mourned me, but as long as I return to the capital by then, will my family still not accept me?"

"But I was so naïve that I tried my best to calm myself down, and for this reason, I once adopted a child and made a dead heart.

But who would have thought ......"

The county lord of Jingning gritted his teeth and said, "They still won't let me go, poison me, and find someone...... After that, I had no desire to go home, and I had to find that person and cut him with a thousand cuts.

My face, too, was painted by myself at that time.

Later, slowly, the people behind the scenes didn't know whether they thought I was dead or couldn't take care of me, I tried to go home, and no one stopped me.

I didn't dare to go home, or even contact you, because I was afraid that the people behind the scenes would jump out and hurt you. ”

"The other one...... I'm not the same quiet I used to be, I've become filthy, I wanted to die, but I didn't want to.

I can not go home, I can watch the children from afar, but I can't let the bad guys go uneasy. ”

"When I returned to Beijing, I knew that my mother took Niannian to Jinling to raise her, and Shi'an was not in Beijing, so I went to a Zhuangzi in the original Qi State Mansion, which was later given to Niannian as a dowryman, and I lived for many ......years."

She bit her lip, her voice was harsh, and tears had fallen from her eyes.

The eldest princess of the Protectorate looked gloomy because of these words, she didn't need to say it from the county lord of Jingning, she could figure out what to do with someone, and after half a sound, she gritted her teeth and said: "This matter, I won't give up, this matter is counted as one, whether it is a year or two years, even if I can't find it out if I am alive, I will investigate it if I am dead and a ghost."

I vow to find out the wicked man, and whoever it is, as long as I find evidence, I will tear off a layer of his skin. ”

She couldn't help but throw the tea cup in her hand, and the tea bowl suddenly fell apart, and the whole person fell to the chair, his face pale.

No one would persuade the eldest princess of the protectorate to take a step back in such a matter, and everyone in the family had to tear off a layer of the thief's skin before they stopped.

It is impossible to relieve hatred, for Jing Ning, for the Zhou family, and even Gu Nian, it is impossible to erase these injuries, and it can only be maximized to comfort a little in my heart.

"Father and the prince have asked people to check on this matter, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, at this time, you can't be angry, you can't let everyone worry, the more times like this, the more you should take care of your body, you hold on, no matter who you are, you have to weigh one or two carefully before acting."

Gu Nian said softly, sweating people came in and cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground, so as not to accidentally step on and hurt people.

The county lord of Jingning stepped forward to support the eldest princess, "Mother, you listen to the thoughts, I'll help you down first, don't be in a hurry for anything, there will be a long time in the future, you have to calm down." ”

The eldest princess couldn't listen to other words angrily at the moment, but there was one sentence she really heard in her heart, she had to hold on, she had to live for a long time.

Live to the day when the murderer is found out.

At the beginning, that person dared to treat Jingning like this, it was not because she lived in Jiangnan and ignored the world, and the whole person was in the pain of losing her husband.

So far, everything seems to be hidden in a lot of fog, like flowers shining through the water, so that people can't see clearly.

Gu Nian and the county lord of Jingning took the eldest princess's hand and went to the inner room, and after seeing that she fell asleep, the mother and daughter left the house lightly.

"Let people light up the soothing incense, let the grandmother sleep until she wakes up naturally, and if there is anything to discuss with your cousin, don't pass it on."

Gu Nian whispered to Mama Su.

Mama Su nodded and retreated.

Only Gu Nian and Lord Jingning were left in the outer room.

The county lord of Jingning had just cried, her eyes were still red, she took Gu Nian's hand and said, "You are too tired to run back and forth like this, don't come over tomorrow."

There are a lot of things in the house, and the prince also needs you to take care of it.

Now that my mother has returned, I will have time to see it in the future. ”

Gu Nian leaned on the shoulder of the county lord of Jingning, "I'm not tired, the prince asked me to come, and when my mother returns to live in the Su Palace, we will also be closer." ”

The county lord of Jingning stiffened for no reason, and said with a smile, "You, you are not afraid that the prince will be angry." ”

Gu Nian waved his hand, "He's not angry, I have a mother now, he's going to be angry, I'll go back to my mother's house." ”

The county lord of Jingning smiled, his eyes lit up, and he noticed the blood stains on Gu Nian's palm, and couldn't help but be shocked, and opened his mouth to ask someone to ask for a doctor.

It turned out that Gu Nian didn't know when he used his fingernails to pull out the blood from his palm.

Gu Nian stopped the county lord of Jingning, and wrapped his palm with a handkerchief.

No matter who hears that something so big has happened to their mother, it is impossible to calm down.

She is no exception, but if even she loses her temper, how can she make her grandmother calm down.

The county lord of Jingning has always been a transparent person, so she naturally knew Gu Nian's thoughts, she hugged Gu Nian and cried.

Her daughter is so old, so good-looking, and so smart.

In the past, she watched from afar, always separated by a layer of time and space, but now that she was really holding her hand, she felt that she was still a mother.

"It's your mother's fault that made you feel bad." Jing Ning said in a choked voice.

Gu Nian cried and laughed, "It's not your fault, it's the fault of the people behind the scenes, let's separate our flesh and blood, and separate husband and wife." ”

"Mother, my daughter still has some things to ask you about back then, can you tell me? In the past, if you checked alone, if you didn't have manpower or power, you would definitely not be able to find out.

Actually, after seeing you in Zhuangzi, the prince once checked you, but he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

I believe that my father and grandmother should have checked it, but they couldn't find anything unusual, and someone must have erased the thread.

It's been too long since you had an accident, and it's normal that you can't find out, but a few years ago, you couldn't find out, which is incredible. ”

The county lord of Jingning wiped his tears with a handkerchief, nodded and said, "Yes, those people don't know what mentality they have, since I hurt my face and have no heart to go home, my life has completely quieted down."

Those people want me to die, but they are afraid of me to die.

I couldn't find a job, and when I couldn't eat, money would fall down the door.

At first, I thought it was dropped by someone else, but later I found out that there were often cases, and I understood that the person behind the scenes was afraid that I would starve to death and deliberately dropped it. “

Gu Nian was also shocked when he heard it, this is a bit of a cat playing with mice.

Otherwise, when you go home, you won't be allowed to contact your family, and you're even more afraid that you won't be able to live and die, as if you like to see people on both sides in pain.

This kind of mind can only be possessed by a perverted person?

The mother and daughter talked a lot, and Gu Nian tried to avoid things that could make the county lord of Jingning recall the pain.

Therefore, I talked for an afternoon before I finished understanding, and in the end, Gu Nian asked gently, "Mother, when are you going to live in King Su's mansion?" ”

The county lord of Jingning stiffened and did not speak.

Gu Nian suddenly realized that when she said that she wanted her mother to return to the Su Palace, she also reacted in this way.

At first, she thought it was because she leaned over, and her mother was not very suitable for such intimacy, so it turned out that she had something else......

"Mother, you don't want to go back to the palace? Don't want to live with your daddy? Gu Nian looked at the Jingning County Lord strangely.

Jing Ning raised her eyes to look at Gu Nian and asked with difficulty, "Do you think I should go back to live in the palace?" ”

"Of course! Why not? You are my mother, my father's wife, and the housemother of Suwangfu, why don't you go? ”

Gu Nianhu looked at her mother suspiciously, and in an instant, she was distressed again.

Does my mother feel that she is not worthy of my father?

However, she knew that her father would not mind these things at all, he could not even forget a dead person, let alone his mother was now alive in front of him.

How could he agree that his mother would not return home?

"Mother, how difficult my father has been over the years, you don't know, he is afraid of seeing people, things, and things related to you in Beijing, so he does not hesitate to wander outside for so many years.

Even my daughter, he left behind, which shows how heavy your position is in his heart.

What happened to you is now weighing heavily on his heart, and he will feel that he has not protected you.

He'll blame himself.

But he won't dislike you, not just him, not just the whole family, we will only hate the person behind the scenes, and so will Daddy.

He must be eager to find out the person who hurt you and break the body into pieces.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know that you were alive, so they found a white porcelain jar from the garden of the British Mansion, which contained grandfather, grandmother, and Qi Guogong.

Everyone thought that the last one was yours, and Daddy just brought down the British Mansion in the way of the face of the first emperor.

But, you don't know, later, he pulled out the body of the British duke and whipped it, destroyed it again, and scattered it in the pond to feed the fish, and the fish did not end well......

It can be seen how important you are in your father's heart, and if you want to say that you don't want to live with your father at this time, it's no wonder if your father is not crazy. “

"You're both already like this, what's the fuss? My grandmother said you used to be very straightforward.

Mother, you are an elder, I will support you in what you want to do, but I don't want you to be poor. ”

When the county lord of Jingning heard this, he sighed, "Mother knows, Mother just can't get over this heart." What kind of person your father is, my mother knows, but because he is so good, my mother can go over other things.

But that's it...... If I don't want to see you, mother, I really can't support it. ”

"What's wrong with that? You're not you? As I said, I don't care. A voice came from the door, and then Gu Shi'an rushed in, followed by Xiao Yue.

The county lord of Jingning didn't expect Gu Shi'an to hear it, she pursed her lips, turned her head and didn't speak.

"Zhou Li, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, your feelings are back, your mother recognizes it, your daughter recognizes it, your son-in-law recognizes it, and everyone recognizes it.

You don't recognize me as a husband, do you? ”

He also discussed with her many times about going home.

Originally, he wanted to pick her up in a beautiful way, hold a banquet, and tell the world that she was back, so that he could look solemn.

But this would cause a lot of trouble, and besides, he was not very happy in his heart.

"You and I have long been married, you are my wife, you live and die my people, death is my ghost, life and death are the same hole.

I'm afraid that you don't want to face the strange eyes of others, and I feel sorry for you.

That's why we think we're going to live behind closed doors.

After giving the emperor, canonizing you as the will of Princess Su, through the emperor's mouth, he said that you were back, so that others would not dare to gossip.

I've got everything for you.

But you're fine, just thinking about how to leave me. ”

"Tell you, don't think about it, I have already lost you once, this time, even if it is Shanghuangquan Biluo, I will also find you back, and then lock you up and tie you up to me. Don't want to leave me. ”

is about to be extremely angry, and what Gu Shi'an said is more ruthless than one sentence. In the end, it almost burst out between the teeth.

Gu Nian had already quietly retreated with Xiao Yue.

Only Gu Shi'an and Lord Jingning were left in the house.

The county lord of Jingning looked at Gu Shi'an, whose chest was constantly rising and falling, and slowly walked in front of him,

"You're scared."

"Your daughter is bold. Can't be scared. Now it's your husband who is going to be scared to death. ”

The county lord of Jingning laughed out loud and said, "It's me who is wrong, only thinking about my pitiful experience, and feeling sorry for myself." From now on, never.

Let's find that person together, shall we? “

"When the time comes, we'll have another child." Gu Shi'an said.

The county lord of Jingning was silent and shook his head again.

With the little one, they will divide their energy on the little one, and after so many years of hard work, she hasn't made up for him.

Besides, I'm afraid she can't conceive anymore.

Back then, her body had already been broken, and there was still the poison, who knows if there would be sequelae.

The matter of whether the county lord of Jingning could return to the Su palace was solved in this way, and Gu Shi'an and Xiao Yue also brought the emperor's will to canonize the county lord of Jingning as the princess of Su.

When Gu Shi'an returned to the palace, the county lord of Jingning was not there, so naturally he did not have the will to be crowned princess.

The day after the canonization decree came down, the emperor announced to the world in the morning,

"More than 20 years ago, Zhang Tianshi found that the purple microstar in the sky was abnormal, and he originally wanted the first emperor to go to the temple to fast for 20 years, but the country cannot be without a king for a day.

At this time, the lord of Jingning volunteered, for the stability of his family and country, left his daughter, and her husband, and went to the temple to pray for blessings instead of the first emperor, and this residence was more than 20 years.

Now that the world has settled, it seems that the blessing of the lord of Jingning has taken effect.

Therefore, the county lord of Jingning can return home. ”

In fact, there are many problems with this edict, for example, there were so many princes at that time, and it was completely possible for the prince to replace the emperor.

Also, even if the prince doesn't go, there are still so many clan princes, how can it be the turn of the Jingning County Lord.

Since it is to pray for the blessing of the country, why did Qi Guogong mourn in the first place? Moreover, the county lord of Jingning suddenly 'died'.

Could it be that this prayer should not be known to others?

And so on, a lot of questions, but no one dared to ask the emperor.

After all, the lord of Jingning is for the country, and this country also includes small families, including every citizen.

At this time, go and ask the emperor, it is not to be scolded for being bloody, but also to be spurned by others.

Therefore, everyone held these questions in their stomachs.

In the capital, in a certain mansion, a person sat in the shadows, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that a carelessness would let that slut return home, and I wasted so many years of scheming." ”

"And now she is still like this."

With a wave of his hand, he slammed everything on the table to the ground, spurting a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Can't let her go on like this, can't make the slut who protects the country happy, they want to be reunited? Don't! ”
