Chapter 44: The Camellia is still there

"Or ... Wait for Xi Yun's birthday at the end of the month, let's do the marriage together! The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, and even hallucinated Xi Yun's voice.

Seeing that Mrs. Su ignored herself, Xi Yun had no choice but to raise her voice and yell: "Mrs. Su! Xi Yun is here to visit you! ”

This voice shouted Mrs. Su's spirit: "Oops~~~" Turning her head, a slim girl was standing at the door.

"I called you a lot, I thought it was Xi Yun's low voice, and she shouted a little higher, I didn't want to scare you."

Mrs. Su stepped forward and took Xi Yun's hand and led her in, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched out beautifully, and her joy went straight to the bottom of her eyes.

"I was distracted just now, and I was still thinking about when Xi Yatou would be able to pass the door, but I didn't think you would come, but this is our fate."

"I'm thinking about waiting for your birthday to pass the door, double happiness is coming, what do you think?" Mrs. Su carefully observed the changes in the expression on her face, for fear of missing the slightest change and making Xi Yun unhappy.

Mrs. Su's words came suddenly, and Xi Yun was a little embarrassed. My father said that the marriage event, the parents' order, and the matchmaker's words, is it a good rhetoric?

"This... Marriage matters still have to obey the orders of parents, and Xi Yun can't call the shots alone. ”

Mrs. Su lowered her eyebrows with a look of regret, clapped her hands and comforted: "It's really abrupt... I don't know if this is to comfort myself or to give myself a round.

Seeing Mrs. Su's face showing loss, Xi Yun immediately changed the topic and said: "The Xi family and the Su family have long had a baby kiss, of course Xi Yun has no opinion. Presumably, the family also agreed, and Madame might as well talk to my father. ”

Mrs. Su raised her head, a smile appeared on her face, and Xi Yun followed closely to pick up the conversation, she hadn't forgotten what the purpose of coming here was today.

"The young general has been gradually busy with General Su in the past few days, and he can't take care of his wife, so I came to talk to my wife today."

It's not that she doesn't want to chat with Mrs. Su, it's just that there are more important things now, if Su Jingchi really goes to the western border, and only sends two generals from the Su family, and one is a major general with no experience, it will definitely be dangerous to go this time.

can be regarded as a person who speaks, Mrs. Su complained to Xi Yun like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Men naturally have men's careers to do, but Jing Chi has no experience and is fooling around." ”

Xi Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, her face was silent, and her heart was already full of anger.

All the foolishness ... Oh, Su will ask for Ying, and sure enough, please Ying. Su Jingchi, you bastard!

Trying his best to suppress his anger, he still spoke properly, but the hand he was holding was already white at the fingertips.

"Why don't you see the major general?"

"I entered the palace today and gave Princess Qingying a piece of red agate, Jing Chi thought that it would be your birthday soon, and now I have gone to find a craftsman to carve a hairpin for you, and before leaving, I said that I would come back later." When she said the second half of the sentence, Mrs. Su's tone was a little ambiguous, and she smiled and tapped the tip of Xi Yun's nose, "But I don't look like agate, it's more like jade, I looked at it and panicked, and asked him to carve it and send it to the temple. ”

Xi Yun swallowed her words, her face gradually climbed crimson, and she suppressed her anger but showed a little inexplicable restraint.

I only dare to secretly blame in my heart: Who wants his hairpin...

"Does Princess Qingying also have a relationship with the Su family?"

"No, it's not so much that she has no relationship with the Su family, but that she has no relationship with everyone. The princess's temperament is somewhat similar to you, obviously it is the life of the golden branch and jade leaf, and she wants to be upright, but she just wants to go to the battlefield. It's just that you can't compare to you, you can do what you want as you want, and there are still some restrictions in the emperor's family. You can't do what you want to do, and you can't hate what you don't like. After being suppressed for a long time, her temperament has become a little weirder, and coupled with the matter of her mother's concubine, no one wants to have anything to do with her anymore, only an old husband by her side will never leave her. ”

At this point, Mrs. Su sighed softly, propped her elbows on the table covered with floral brocade cloth, and touched her eyebrows with her hands, crying. It is a mother who sympathizes with a child, not a woman who cares for a princess.

"What happened to Princess Lightfly's mother?" Madame's words were like hooks, arousing Xi Yun's curiosity about Luo Qingying.

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard some rumors back then. When the concubine entered the palace, the emperor favored her, but after all, the concubine was plundered, and she was not close to the emperor, but it was all kinds of difficulties. originally thought that the emperor would throw him into the cold palace, but in fact, it was not. Not only did the emperor not retreat, but he also did not allow anyone to speak ill of her. ”

Mrs. Su took a sip of hot tea and continued: "It is said that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, and now the saint can do this to the point that it is still much better than other men. ”

Xi Yun was even more puzzled, this emperor is also strange, since he likes people, why did he rob her? robbed people, and people don't like you, why don't you let people go back? If you say that he is infatuated and still forces others, if you say that he is hypocritical, he still loves others, so there are contradictions.

"For a while, I don't know if he is infatuated or fake."

"Whether it's infatuation or pretense, but the treatment of the concubine is always good. The thing happened at a drinking party, the concubine was very nauseous that day, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and said that there was a happy pulse. ”

"Princess Lightfly?"

"Yes, but the Imperial Doctor also said that this Ximai has been around for three months. Concubine De said that the time was not right, and later gave birth to Princess Qingying's blood to recognize her relatives, and she really couldn't blend with the emperor's blood. ”

Xi Yun suddenly clapped her hands, and suddenly remembered something: "I remembered!" I once heard people say that there was a great war on the western border many years ago, when a tribe was destroyed, should that tribe be... The tribe of the concubine? ”

Mrs. Su regretted: "Yes, the concubine was unfaithful, and the Son of Heaven was furious and destroyed her mother's family." After the concubine gave birth to Princess Qingying, her spirit became very fragile, and the emperor did not let the concubine take the child in person, for fear that the little princess would die in her hands. It wasn't until five years later that she received news from the outside world that her tribe had become a scorched earth in the third year of her birth to the little princess, and no one survived in the land of the dead. Only one of the guards around him followed, and in the end, he was made a eunuch by the emperor. ”

At this moment, Xi Yun couldn't help but tremble, one person was at fault, and the emperor wanted to destroy the country. It is not treason with the enemy, and the most serious punishment for bullying the king is to sit together, and there is no one in the mother clan at most. But now the emperor's approach turned out to be to destroy the country, and tens of thousands of people were buried with him.

This is not tolerated by the tyrant, Xi Yun suddenly had a terrible thought, is this king really what they want to be loyal to? What kind of person is Prince Luo Liang? Can he shoulder Luo Liang's great luck?

Mrs. Su felt sorry, even if the concubine was at fault, what was wrong with the people in those tribes? When they took away the concubine, they also resisted desperately.

"Does the emperor suspect that the princess is the child of the guard?"

"It's not that I suspect that he was the one who was in harmony with the little princess at that time, and this guard has always been by the side of the concubine, I heard that he has followed the concubine since he was a child, and the two grew up together, I am afraid that no one will believe it if they say that they have no feelings, not to mention that the evidence is conclusive now. The emperor didn't kill him, and he was already benevolent and righteous. ”

As he spoke, time passed quickly, until the maid came in and lit the lamp, Mrs. Su looked out the window, and at dusk, she only saw a little sunlight dyeing the sky red, like a pool of blood dyeing the white brocade, and in the twilight fireworks, a bright moon quietly rose.

"It's not early, why don't you stay tonight, Jing Chi will have to come back for a while."

Xi Yun bowed slightly: "Mrs. Xie's reward, it's just that the family has set an order not to return late." She didn't want to have anything to do with Su Jingchi for the time being, maybe she couldn't help but check in as soon as she saw him.

Seeing that Mrs. Su was speechless, it was not easy to say anything, now that she is not from the Su family, she still has to pay attention to the gossip of the neighbors.

"It's okay, be careful on the road, I'll call a few little girls to follow, even if there is some kung fu to be close to the little girl's family, don't be careless."

On the way, Xi Yun still felt that something was not quite right there, and all the things that happened in the palace would be recorded by the historians, especially the birth of the prince, but when I sorted out the dossier today, I didn't find the dossier of Princess Qingying, could it be related to the dossier that I was not allowed to see during the day?

The subordinates reined in hard: "Huh~~" turned around and ordered the servants who followed, telling them to go back first.

"You guys go back first, I'm going to a place by myself."

The little guys hesitated for a while and left, this tall head was sitting right away, but it was a powerful person, and when the time came, he really encountered danger, and he couldn't tell who would save whom!

She was going to the palace again, and the decaying dossier must contain some secret that no one knew.

"Miss? Why are you back again? The official who left the vigil was holding a bowl of hot noodles in his hand, and when he saw that it was Xi Yun, he immediately wiped his mouth and stepped forward to ask.

Xi Yun pretended to be calm, pointed to the paper on his father's desk, and said nonsense: "Ah, I'm here to find something." He glanced down at the steaming noodles in his hands and swallowed. You eat yours, I know where things are, don't worry about me. "Hurry up and go home after looking for it, this noodle is too fragrant!

Luo Qingying... She looked at the entire wall of books and files, but there was no record of Luo Qingying. Xi Yun sat on the ladder next to her, her eyes drifting farther and farther until she saw the musty shelf that was not allowed to move during the day, and she didn't take her eyes off for a long time.

"Miss, still haven't you found it?" The sudden voice of the night watch official frightened Xi Yun, and she realized that she couldn't let him know what she was going to do.

With a smile on his face, he said, "This little brother, I have a wooden box that has fallen on the horse, can you go and get it for me if you have time?" ”

"Miss, what's the point?" The little brother put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out, Xi Yun saw the opportunity to jump off the ladder, and flew to the shelf over there.

When the dossier was opened, a musty smell came to the face, a secret that had been sealed for many years.

[Miss, it is taboo to read the file privately, so don't cause trouble for adults anymore. 】

During the day, the man's words lingered in his ears again, and Xi Yun was stunned in mid-air and no longer had the next move.

But the cover has been torn apart, and even if you don't look at it, you've already caused trouble. As soon as his heart was horizontal, he was thirty-seven twenty-one, revealing the yellowed paper inside, the pen and ink had dried and was about to disappear, and the fragile wind would be wiped out as soon as it blew.

Thinking that the little brother who kept vigil would not be long in coming, she could only glance at it hurriedly, but this did not prevent her from being shocked by the story inside.

Today, the Holy Lord sent an envoy to a small tribe in the west, a woman with a beautiful face, swept back to the palace, and the tribal leader pleaded many times, but to no avail; There was only one guard around the woman, and the Son of Heaven was gracious and made an exception to enter the palace. Before it was time, gossip spread, and the woman had an affair with the guard. Three years later, the woman was named a concubine, and the rumors in the palace were even worse, and some people even said that they had seen it with their own eyes; The Son of Heaven was furious, and there were no more rumors in the palace.

At the cocktail party, the concubine was ill, the imperial doctor was pregnant, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed; Concubine Ran De objected, so she investigated, however, this son is the son of a guard. Gave the guards a corrupt punishment, and three years later, the home country where the concubine was located was silent, and Bai Aya hung her soul, leaving only a prince named Qingying.
