Chapter 76: Mother's Hate
I haven't seen the light of day for a long time, the pain of grinding my heart is unprecedented, Yu Zhao felt for the first time, during this period, he not only had the intention of dying once, but fortunately, Chu Zikai accompanied him throughout the whole process, if he couldn't stand it a long time ago, he would have died at the head of the bed.
Being able to stand under the warm sun at this moment, Yu Zhao was a little uncomfortable. Zhuo Yao hurriedly stepped forward and handed her a cloak to put on, hesitated for a moment, and asked with some tactfulness: "Niangniang just got rid of that torture this morning, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Is the mother feeling unwell? ”
Knowing that today's movement was afraid that Zhuo Yao would hear it, Yu Zhao's face turned red instantly, and he quickly shook his head, looked down and didn't dare to look at him, and drilled into the house. Zhuo Yao secretly observed Yu Zhao's walking posture, breathed a sigh of relief, and relieved himself, glad in his heart, fortunately, the two of them knew how to measure.
This incident once again made Emperor Yuan look at Yu Zhao with admiration, although Chu Zirui had been infected with medicine for a long time, Yu Yao was not so cruel to him, a small number of times a day, and his addiction was not as strong as Yu Zhao's, and he was looking for death several times to force Concubine Shen to give him poppy powder to continue his life.
And Yu Zhao, who said that half a moon is half a month, although he was also tortured to the point of extreme collapse, he never proposed to rely on that thing to continue his life several times when he sought death. Emperor Yuan shook his head and sighed, under such a slender and weak appearance, there was a hard bone comparable to a man, and he felt more and more that this woman was definitely not suitable for living in the harem.
For the time being, he still needs to stay, and his status in the harem is incomparable. Zhanxiao Wenluo came to visit and told her about the follow-up.
Wen Luo said: "Brother said that Yu Shangshu killed his relatives in righteousness, and wanted to personally write a letter to ask for punishment of Yu Yao. ”
The previous incident of the sky lantern was only the personal anger of Yu Zhao and Yu Zhao, and if it was serious, it was suspected of killing the king, coupled with the charges of confusing the prince and murdering the emperor's grandson and concubine, even if the child in Yu Yao's womb shed the blood of the Great Chu royal family, it could not forgive this heinous crime. Yu Cheng naturally weighed it clearly, and showing his loyalty by writing to ask for punishment was the best way to get rid of his involvement.
Zhan Xiao said again: "The second princess lost her son, she couldn't afford to be sick, and the day before yesterday she got up and took a knife and wanted to kill Yu Yao, but she was discovered by Concubine Shen and ordered someone to drag her down and lock her up, I heard that Concubine Shen was going to bring Yu Yao to the palace, and after the child was born, she would be executed immediately." ”
A woman is weak, but a mother is strong, a weak and dignified woman like the second princess has no choice but to live a hard life. Although Yu Zhu's child has not yet met, seeing her talk about the hopeful look of the child in her womb, Yu Zhao knows that she will definitely not be happy in her heart, and thinks about waiting for her to go and see her when she is out of the little moon.
When the day came, Yu Zhao hadn't gone to her house yet, and Yu Zhu himself came to Chaohui Palace first. But in January, he was emaciated into two looks, his eyes were red and unfocused with grief, and he was supported by others, and he was so thin that he seemed to be about to be blown away by the wind. Yu Zhao excused her from the courtesy and asked her to sit down, and then instructed Zhuo Yao to take a soft cushion for her to lean on, and then spoke to her: "If you want to see me, just send someone to inform you, your body is not finished yet, why bother to hold on yourself?" ”
"There is Lao Niangniang who is worried," I don't see the graceful voice of the past, Xu is crying day and night, Yu Zhu's voice is hoarse, and it makes people worry even more when they listen to it. His hands were also weak, and he accidentally dropped the teacup: "The concubine is out of order, and I ask the mother to forgive me." ”
"It's okay." Yu Zhao looked at her, only to feel that in those eyes, the happiness of being favored by Chu Ziyang disappeared again. Zhuo Yao hurriedly instructed someone to pick up the broken teacup, and Yu Zhu asked weakly: "With a life like mine, I shouldn't have married a good person like His Royal Highness for a lifetime, and I didn't deserve to sit in such a high position as the princess, everything I got depends on Niangniang." ”
Yu Zhao shook his head and replied: "Don't dare to be, I just advise you one more sentence, the Fourth Highness and Cao'er Shu'er are still there, for their sake, you can't continue to be so decadent." ”
Gently stroking the flat lower abdomen, a little tear overflowed from the corner of Yu Zhu's eyes: "But this one is gone, my Royal Highness's daughter and I are gone." ”
Yu Zhao closed his mouth, didn't know how to persuade him, and listened to Yu Zhu again: "Niangniang is right, I should take care, I remember the osmanthus sugar cake I tasted in Niangniang's palace, it is refreshing and delicious, can I ask Niangniang to reward some." ”
It's not a seasonal thing, the sugar cake was originally made by Zhuo Yao himself, Yu Zhao knew it, she suddenly mentioned it, this meant that she wanted to break away from Zhuo Yao and talk to herself alone, Zhuo Yao also understood, and without waiting for Yu Zhao to speak, he took the initiative to say: "Then the slave maid went down and prepared." ”
Yu Zhao nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "The rest of the people should also go down first." ”
After all the palace people obeyed the order and withdrew from the hall, Yu Zhao opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with you, let's talk about it now." ”
Yu Zhu knelt down and went straight to the topic: "The bitterness in my heart, the sugar cake can't be solved, the concubine asks Niangniang to be the master, and immediately correct Yu Yao." ”
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhao replied: "When she gives birth to a child, I can try to ask His Majesty to hand her over to you to dispose of." ”
"She's scheming, we can't give her any time!" The more Yu Zhu spoke, the more excited she became, her tearful eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness that she had never seen before, and she gritted her teeth and spit out a word with difficulty: "She killed two innocent children, and she deserved two lives with one corpse!" ”
Yu Zhao raised his head, looked at her calmly, and persuaded: "When the time comes, she can't escape, don't take the risk you shouldn't take." ”
......Seeing that she was unmoved, Yu Zhu stepped forward on her knees and grabbed the hem of her skirt: "Your Royal Highness refuses to help me, but I am unwilling, my child is dead, such a small lump, and blood is separated from me, I might as well die...... I can only come and beg the mother......"
As she spoke, tears flowed, whimpering and slurring her words, Yu Zhao helped her up, waited for her emotions to stabilize, and calmly informed: "If I help you, it is equivalent to harming you." ”
Yu Zhu took a deep breath and looked at her with a desperate expression: "If Niangniang doesn't help, I can only go to my father to help me." ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhao was very sure: "He wants to protect the entire Yu family, and he will not risk it for you." ”
"Yes," Yu Zhu burst into tears and looked at Yu Zhao: "I know a shocking secret, tell him he will." ”
Shocked, Yu Zhao looked at her vigilantly, and sure enough, Yu Zhu's tone was eager: "I know, your secret, when the tea in the racecourse was overturned, I saw it, the palace sand on your arm is still there, you didn't enter the palace to be an imperial concubine." ”
Sure enough, Yu Zhao remembered the flowers she sent in the summer that did not fall off, and kept the secret for so long, and if something happened, she came to find herself first, and Yu Cheng was just taken by her as a threat to force herself to submit, so she was not so flustered, and said calmly: "How credible do you think this is true?" His Royal Highness and Yu Cheng have stood on opposite sides for a long time, who knows if he will believe you or me? ”
Yu Zhu was stunned, and saw Yu Zhao lift the clothes on his right forearm, the scar on it had faded into a white piece, and he believed that it would disappear soon, and the new injury when he quit his addiction for half a month, except for the shadow of the red dot. "Look, the evidence you said is gone, and there is no credibility in this statement, who knows if Yu Cheng will understand that it is you who are trying to use him in vain and fabricate a lie to sow discord between me and him, and then beat him up, I am afraid that the Four Princes' Mansion will also suffer."
Yu Zhu knelt on the ground dejectedly, without saying a word, knowing that she had no malicious intent, Yu Zhao did not intend to continue to scare her, and explained to her: "As a royal family, we must distinguish who is the one who has the power, and what is the importance of whether I serve or not?" Whether or not Your Majesty personally recognizes my position of power and has been recognized by him for no reason must also have a reason. And if you want to reason with the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid you don't have that ability. I did a good job before, but I found that it was wise to keep my duty as if I didn't know, so I thought about it and didn't do stupid things. ”
After speaking, Yu Zhao stood up, looked at her condescendingly, and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
After a moment, Yu Zhu replied weakly: "Understand ......" and then said: "But my request is not what one person wants, don't worry about denying it, and please see her before making a decision." ”
