Chapter 147: Old Things
Luo Shi couldn't bear to look at the injuries on her body, don't look around: "This palace has seen it all, and you know it, don't you still refuse to say why King Zhennan treats you like this?" ”
Pei Shi looked out the window worriedly, Luo Fu knew her thoughts, and comforted: "There is my girl outside, don't worry, you know what happened today, and there will be no third person who knows." ”
"Can Your Highness help me get out of here?"
"I'll have to hear your reasons before I can decide if I want to help you."
Pei Shi got dressed and invited Luo Shi to sit down in the warm pavilion, with an expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or sadness: "It was only after I met him that I understood what it means to be invisible." At that time, I was also grateful, because he ransomed me and gave me the days of fine clothes and food, which were very good at first, and I even went to the temple to burn incense, sighing that I had met such a person for the blessings I had cultivated in several lifetimes, and even sighed that I was willing to come to him, and I would follow him in the future, regardless of whether he was rich or poor. ”
There is always a time when memories are beautiful, every time I mention it, even my expression becomes gentle, but people always have to return to reality from memories, once they come back, everything in the past becomes smoke that cannot be grasped, and a light sigh is enough to make people disillusioned.
"I don't remember which time, he came back drunk, grabbed my hand and muttered something to me, although I didn't hear clearly, but I was sure that he didn't call me, I thought about the biological mother of the son, everyone said how he used to love his wife, and I didn't think much about it."
Speaking of which, it came to the turning point, Pei's tone changed abruptly, and his face sank: "But who knew that he was drunk and rummaged all over the house, I asked him what he was looking for, and he didn't say anything, and finally I didn't know which box to find a piece of clothing, and looked at me and kept saying that it was suitable, saying that it was good-looking, and let me change it." I don't know how many years ago the clothes were old, the old ones were not good, even the color was dark, even though I was puzzled in my heart, but I had to follow his wishes, and just think about putting him to sleep. ”
"I changed my clothes, he liked it, pulled me to babble and talk, what he said had nothing to do with me, and I don't know which woman he met and met, I read that he was drunk and didn't care about him, who knew that he said that he woke up drunk, and saw that it was me, his face changed abruptly, and then he began to move, that was the first time he hit me, when he also apologized to me, saying that he was drunk because of the wine, and asked me what nonsense he said last night, I was afraid, and I said no."
Luo Fu didn't expect that there was such a layer in the middle, so he asked: "Then do you know who the woman in the mouth of King Zhennan is?" ”
Pei Shi looked at her, his face was secretive: "I'm just afraid that His Highness will fall off the chair in shock if I say it." ”
Luo Shi didn't care: "Then I'm more curious, what kind of woman has such ability?" ”
Pei Shi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you dare to tell the reason before, and said that this matter would involve Your Majesty?" Because the prince thought about it, the person who was so crazy was His Royal Highness's mother - Concubine An! ”
Before she spoke, Luo Shi had imagined countless possibilities, and thought that most of them were her father's concubines and the like, but she never expected that in the end, this thunder would actually hit her head, her mother? I've never heard of any intersection between her mother and King Zhennan, why is it related now?
Seeing Luo Fu's expression, Pei Shi joked: "When I first knew, I had the same expression as His Royal Highness, and I didn't want to believe it, but later, I accidentally found a painting from the secret compartment of his study, on which a woman was depicted, exactly the same as Concubine An, and there was a name on the painting, with the word Wanwan written on it, this name Your Highness is not unfamiliar, right?" ”
Wanwan is the name of her mother's boudoir, but she has never heard anyone call her like this, and even the emperor has never called her mother like this.
This thing was like a basin of dog blood splashed over, Luo Fu shook his head, he was still able to be sober, and asked her again: "Then what does this have to do with you being beaten?" ”
"His Highness didn't know anything, since then, he often brought me that dress to wear, the clothes are the same as the person in the painting, he said that I am the same size as the person in the painting, every time I am interested, I always want to change my clothes, and he doesn't let me turn his face to look at him, until the end of the fun, I can't help but be angry, at that time there is always a beating, so many years, I have been used to it, but recently he has become more and more serious, I really can't stand it, so I want to leave, and if I continue like this, I will die sooner or later!"
Luo Fu really couldn't listen to it anymore, got up and paced, but let her rack her brains, but she couldn't think of a ...... between King Zhennan and her mother
"Your Highness understands why I didn't dare to say it in the first place, right? If Your Majesty knows about this matter, the consequences will be even more unimaginable, so the only person who can save me is Your Highness. ”
Luo Shi's mind was a mess, she stood up and sat down, stood up and sat down again, this kind of thing happened to herself, she couldn't think about it so reasonably, this is really ...... She really couldn't think of any words to describe it.
Pei Shi also knew that she was difficult to accept for a while, so he didn't force her, but asked her to go back and think about it, of course, if this matter could not alarm King Zhennan, it would be best for them to solve it privately.
Luo Shi from Pei's room. came out, and walked forward in despair, Jiang Yan inquired about a few people and came over, wanting to explain to her about Mingmeng, but Luo Shi couldn't see him in his eyes, so he passed him and continued to walk forward.
"Your Highness......" He caught up and stopped in front of her: "I want to explain to you about Mingmeng, I didn't tell you because ......"
"No need to explain, I understand, you go back first, I'm not in the mood to think about anything else now."
She pushed Jiang Yan away, as if her soul had been taken away, and even Su Wan couldn't stop her, so she had to follow her silently.
King Zhennan didn't see Luo Fu and Jiang Zhan come back for a long time, and wondered if these two people had another private meeting, and was about to send someone to find it, but Jiang Yan came back alone, but he was absent-minded, and King Zhennan called him a few times, but he didn't react
Soon after Jiang Shan's return, Luo Fu sent Su Wan to deliver a message, saying that he was unwell and would not come back to eat and drink, so that the king of Zhennan and all the guests could enjoy themselves.
Fuzhou is busy eating and drinking, but the war in Tongguan is urgent, and the war between the two sides is only in an instant.
Xue Rang was worried about Zhou Tongyi's iron cavalry, thinking that if he won this battle, he would first take his iron cavalry battalion to his account, he was eager to try, and he wished to pick up his gun and go out of the city now, but Li Bu was not as interested as him, sitting alone on the hillside, looking into the distance, as if he had a thousand things on his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xue Rang patted him on the shoulder from behind him, and said with a smile: "I heard that you beat Jiang Yan that day, this Jiang Yan was injured, Luo Fu must be distressed, right?" ”
Li Bu laughed at himself: "Your Highness and the prince are in love, who doesn't know?" Isn't it reasonable to feel distressed? ”
"That being said, but a few days ago, I heard about a Qiao Sect from some elderly generals in the army, do you want to hear it?"
Li Bu was not interested, and got up to go back.
Xue Rang grabbed him: "Don't hurry away yet, after listening to the safekeeping, you can untie the knot in your heart." ”
"Does the general know what knots I have?"
"A good man has ambitions in all directions, but you have a woman stumbling in your heart, and you are still a woman who is so ignorant of current affairs, how can you achieve great things in the future?"
Xue Rang also set up a set of big truths, approached Li Bu mysteriously, and said to him: "This matter was originally about the King of Zhennan and Concubine An, you are no stranger to these two people, one is Jiang Shan's father, and the other is Luo Fu's mother, it's a very ancient thing, and it's hard for anyone to remember, otherwise I don't know if there is this allusion." ”
Li Bu became interested: "King Zhennan and Concubine An, when did these two have a relationship?" ”
Xue Rang slowly said it to him, but it was an unrequited love affair of King Zhennan.
King Zhennan and the emperor are brothers who once fought for their lives together, and from birth to death, they are closer than brothers.
Since the emperor's branch, the heirs are not abundant, the emperor has few brothers, and they are all sick and dying, so the king of Zhennan is not only his most favored courtier, but also the emperor's siblings who can invite him to sleep together.
King Zhennan has the emperor's amnesty, and he can freely enter and leave the inner court of the palace without restrictions, and he can't see anything for a day or two, but after a long time, there will be problems.
King Zhennan fell in love with Concubine An, who was only a concubine at the time, and every time he came back from the battlefield and got something new, he had to send it to Concubine An, Concubine An Guifei did not fight or rob, and she was inevitably bullied in the palace, and King Zhennan even helped her out.
At that time, Concubine An Guifei had just had Luo Fu, and the king of Zhennan also had Jiang Shan, the two children were about the same age, and the king of Zhennan was afraid of gossip, and the emperor liked Jiang Shan, so he often took Jiang Yan into the palace to play, and even took advantage of this to get close to An Guifei.
The emperor trusted King Zhennan, and he didn't think there was anything wrong at that time, and no matter how fierce the gossip in the palace was, he never took it to heart.
It wasn't until later that the king of Zhennan entered the palace, and when he was about to leave, he was bumped by a slave who didn't open his eyes, and it was such a bump that something happened, and a painting came out of the sleeve of the king of Zhennan, and the king of Zhennan was not as fast as the emperor, the painting was picked up by the emperor, and when he opened it, it was actually An Guifei.
There is no way to verify the truth of how things have developed over the past so many years and through so many people's mouths, but what is certain is that it was from that painting that King Zhennan was sent by the emperor to guard Fuzhou.
If you want to say that the emperor is confused, there can be a few foolish people who can be the emperor, and the front is about to see through it without saying it, and the king of Zhennan who is transferred away in the back is probably afraid that he will let things develop like this, and let the gossip go on, it will not be true and it will come true.
And the emperor's move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, not only to protect his own reputation, but also to preserve their brotherly feelings, which is really the best policy.
Xue Rang finished talking like a joke, and asked Li Bu again: "Then do you know that the emperor intends to promote Luo Fu and Jiang Shan, why does the king of Zhennan deliberately obstruct it, and he is unwilling to live or die?" ”
