Chapter 20: The False Son
During the period when I was "recuperating from my injury", the days were quite peaceful, although I couldn't go out of the gate of Qingluan Palace, but this was not a problem for the otaku.
As the tide falls, everyone must have a chance to catch their breath.
Zhou Guifei won the favor of the emperor again, although she did not give a high-profile reward to the queen, but according to what the concubine said, the affection was even more persistent. Its happy appearance was overflowing all day long, and even his spirit was rejuvenated.
Because he took care of me, he gave me the best way to raise him in the west side of his dormitory, so he often heard the sound of singing and laughing in the main hall after dinner.
Whenever the royal driver came in person, I consciously avoided it and did not linger in front of the two of them. It's just because I know in my heart that it's actually embarrassing to be a first-class show girl, but then again, all the women in this palace are like this. It is important to avoid suspicion, if you accidentally provoke a misunderstanding with this vinegar bun with the biggest love, it will not be good.
Under the melon field and plums, not standing on the dangerous wall, maybe it is the common sense I just learned. Whatever kind of rapport it is, don't give it a chance to be tested, unless you're keen to taste disappointment.
After the palace medical officer spread the information that I was "seriously injured and saved", Apple and Aunt Su thought that they were a little relieved, but I didn't listen to the fact that I lived in Qingluan Palace, I don't know how Aunt Su felt.
Thinking about this, I'm a little worried.
The only thing that makes me feel at ease is Xiao Niangniang. Her eyes are getting better, and I'm afraid she won't be equipped with a handmaid anymore. But if I hadn't been there, her life would not have been so comfortable. But thinking that there were still a lot of copper coins stored in the cabinet, she immediately became calm that she was not a rigid person, and she would use it to make a living.
So I didn't want to think about where to come tomorrow, so I relaxed and played with the noble concubine Hu Tianhu in Qingluan Palace for more than a month, and the medical officer said that it was time to go out and walk around.
It was the middle of November.
The birds are returning to the south, Vientiane is dilapidated, and the only active color that can be thought of is the flowers in the flower warming.
Since it is always casual to walk, I took a leisurely step and went to the inner garden flower shop next to the Anli Gate of the harem.
The flower lady who took care of Hua'er was a servant woman in her fifties and her old daughter, and although she had only met once, she was deeply impressed by the family. The family's surname is Shui, which is also the intention of making nourishing flowers. Her youngest daughter is fourteen years old, not only born gracefully, but also famous, called Shui Sisi.
As soon as you approach the flower room, you will feel fragrant. The heat that evaporates from the room, and the smoke curls on the roof of the lingering flower shed, which is quite misty in spring and willow fireworks.
Entering the flower shed, everywhere is the incense flower of the smoke hall offered to the palace, which is delicate and beautiful, colorful and scattered. How can there be people who don't love flowers, even the "Huayan Sutra" also says that flowers are the things of the expression, and the ten paramitas, in short, are the meaning of all the good.
It is conceivable that even if you pass through the flowers, you can also get a gift full of incense and the wind will not retreat for a long time. This can be seen from this peek.
The water girl was tending to a pot of budding begonias in it. But I saw her beside her, half-hidden by a bouquet of flowers, vaguely like a man's back. When I walked in, I saw that it was a man dressed in Yu Linwei, who was stubbornly grabbing the drooping braids of her bun.
Hearing that someone was coming, Shui Sisi knocked off his hand and hurriedly smiled at me to say goodbye, but his cheeks turned crimson because of his shyness. She already showed a shy heart, and this situation reminded me of the word "smoke and flattery".
That Yu Lin Wei also adjusted his speed, and when he looked at him with his back, he surprised me when we looked at each other.
It turned out to be Li Chengyun.
After he saw that it was me, he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and smiled at me with a slight embarrassment, yes, it was a smile that belonged to him, which meant that there was always some truth in the false, and there was falsehood in the truth. And strangely, I felt a little childish and innocent.
I said politely: "Li Gongzi, why did you come to Yulinwei to work?" ”
He also spoke softly: "I was bored to ride and shoot and hunt every day, so I found a public job." The current Yulin Wei is the right Xiaowei, but fortunately, he has a good fortune, and he doesn't dislike his father. ”
So I said a few more pleasantries, and I excused myself.
The water girl is diligent, folded a few plums to me, and talked about her heart with a smile.
I'm looking at these sprigs of tender yellow spit fragrant stamens, vivid, and it would be better to go back and insert the bottle.
But before he went far, Li Chengyun caught up with him.
The first thing was to give me a brain jump.
I was surprised that he was close for no reason, and when I was uncomfortable, I couldn't hide my strange tone and said: "What, I left the confidante in the house and came to me, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”
But he obviously didn't read what I meant, and only immersed himself in his own world and explained to me: "Ahem, I haven't known her for a long time, but I think that although this woman looks shy at first glance, she is actually fresh, and I think it is interesting." ”
I laughed and said, "Then I will congratulate Li Gongzi in advance on getting a concubine, and I am very happy." ”
He turned around and turned to face me, walking backwards, lively and hippie: "What, jealous?" It's all my fault. ”
"How many dishes are there in broad daylight? Drink so high. I gave him a sneak peek.
"Ben Gongzi is serious, you see." He showed me the Xingyue Bodhi bracelet wrapped around his wrist: "A few days ago, when I visited the ghost market, I saw this string at a glance, and after paying the money, I found that the bracelet pendant was actually a little rabbit. It seems that I still have a fate with Xiaotu. ”
I covered my mouth and smiled: "You speak so nicely, if you are more real, I will believe it." ”
"There is physical evidence here, and the real thing is true."
Seeing that I was silent, he continued, "Okay, let's talk about something else." I knew you were in the inner palace early on, but my identity was hindered, and I couldn't meet you in time, but I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter, about Zhang Ruoqing?"
He stopped, pulled me to sit down in the nearest polo booth, and told me about it.
"Do you know what Zhang Ruoqing confessed?"
Storytellers are always indispensable sellers.
"Zhang Ruoqing is still bargaining with us, refusing to give in completely, if she is really tortured, she will give an attitude of death. only said that he and the king of the north were only a contract cooperation, not his detailed work. Therefore, after negotiating with her in every possible way, she was willing to reveal the true purpose of the draft of the king of the northern realm. ”
Li Chengyun took out the incense pills he carried with him and chewed it, he was a person with a lot of fine movements, and it seemed that sitting quietly was an awkward thing.
"Sixteen years ago, in the spring of Xinmao. A concubine in the royal palace of the north had an affair with someone and was later discovered. Therefore, the princess of the northern realm, the main mother of the house, wanted to dispose of her, but she was dexterous and climbed a tree in the middle of the night to leave the palace. Originally, she fled, but this concubine left a handwritten letter, claiming that she had learned a secret about the prince's life experience, and if she was let go, it would be fine, otherwise she would find a way to break the net. ”
"As soon as these words came out, it was still there! The nature of the incident has completely changed, the concubine originally had a way to live, and now the king of the northern realm is determined to pursue and kill him by all means. The people sent out searched for Xiluo, and it was not until the end of the year that they finally found her whereabouts. The killer followed her day and night, and finally found an opportunity to suffocate her by the throat with a rope. ”
"The person has died, so he took the body back to pay the reward, but the post-mortem said that this woman had given birth not long ago."
I kind of understood: "Cutting the grass to the roots?" ”
"Yes, smart." His smile flickered again.
Later, he continued to send people to inquire in many places near the woman's residence, and only then did he come up with the exact information, it turned out that it was on the day of Bailu a few months ago that she gave birth to a daughter. It's just that after the child was full moon, the woman quietly sent it away, and the whereabouts are unknown. When the information arrives here, the clue is broken. The latter should be a blind man and a blind horse, who has done useless work for many years, so that the king of the northern realm is full of enthusiasm and has a strange plan. ”
For a while, a lot of questions about the original sin of identity seemed to have suddenly found an answer, and I had a hundred feelings in my heart: "That's why he can't get along with us...... It's just that he should have done something stupid that was getting darker and darker, and wanted to cover it up. ”
But in vain, he felt cruel: "Is the fetus in the concubine's womb definitely from fornication?" Could it be the blood of the prince? ”
Li Gongzi was also dumbfounded: "This, even the king of the northern realm can't say it clearly." ”
Indeed, for the prince, the daughter of a concubine who escaped with the so-called huge secret, this child may not only hold her own handle in her hands, but also may not be her own blood. It is better to kill by mistake than to make a mistake, and it is better to have many heirs who are not precious enough, and to abandon it is to abandon it.
"So where is the princess who claimed to have discovered the concubine's fornication back then?"
My sudden question seemed to catch Li Gongzi off guard, and his panic imprinted on my memory. But he reacted quickly enough, and quickly covered it with a smile: "That princess is still in the northern mansion of Lingzhou, and the prince has never brought her to Beijing." ”
I nodded symbolically: "So Li Gongzi wants to tell me that the prince's life experience has hidden secrets and needs to be discussed." At the very least, it should not be hereditary by him, and at the very least, it may not be royal orthodoxy, or the hereditary lineage of the king of the northern realm is very detrimental to the current saint. Therefore, in order to cover up the truth, Li Xuan slaughtered innocents and hysterically preserved his status, right? ”
I finished it in one breath, and occasionally I knew everything, and I said everything, but it didn't matter and I was happy.
He smacked his lips and blamed me: "The prince's life experience has not been verified yet, don't talk nonsense!" ”
I watched as the sunshine slanted from the west hit this beautiful boy, gilding it with a thin layer of light. If he hadn't deliberately made a move to guide my thinking today, it would have been a good thing.
I handed him one of the plums in my hand: "Well, you two flowers, give you back." Maybe it's chasing this Lamei, but it's a shame that he said so much nonsense. I'm going back to the palace, there is a good dish to eat in Qingluan Palace tonight, say goodbye, see you back. ”
I turned and walked away, and he was bab......bling "ahh
My instincts tell me that I can't be trusted. I clearly remember that on the night of the mountain blood banquet, the horse-faced prince looked at us with eyes that were almost no different from the crane that cut its neck and drank blood, and it was not like the happy state of revenge.
Whether it's true or not, time will bring the answer to you sooner or later.
