Chapter 325: Epilogue (I)
"Is there something wrong with the Yan family? Is something wrong with my mother? Yan Su asked to hear the meaning of Gu Changfeng's words, and she held his hand tightly: "Those Imperial Forest Soldiers and that adult are all coming for me, aren't they?" ”
"It's not!" Gu Changfeng hugged Yan Su tightly and asked, "I am your husband, if they come at you, it means that they are also coming at me." Don't worry, no matter what time it is, I will protect you. ”
Hearing that his tone was different, Yan Suwen slightly broke away from his embrace: "No, I'm me, you're you, if the matter is really related to my Yan family and me, I hope you can divorce me." ”
"Divorced you? Do you know what you're talking about? ”
"Of course I do." Yan Suwen buried his head between his shoulders and neck: "Fool, you forgot, we still have children." If you don't get rid of me and our Yan family, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and even the entire Gu family will implicate us. If we die, we will die, Yebai, he is still so young, he still doesn't understand anything, how can he die with us. Husband, it's not fair to him. If you divorce me, you have nothing to do with me, and you have nothing to do with the Yan family. In this way, Yebai is still the little son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and with your protection, he will grow up peacefully and joyfully. ”
"I-"
"I know what you're trying to say." Yan Su asked and covered Gu Changfeng's mouth: "But this is my request, whether you want it or not, you have to agree." ”
Gu Changfeng didn't speak, but directly pulled Yan Suwen's hand down, opened his mouth and bit her tiger's mouth: "Yan Suwen, I probably spoiled you too much, and I actually made you forget who I was." After speaking, without waiting for her to open her mouth, he kissed her lips fiercely, "Yan Su asked, why don't you want to believe me, why don't you believe that I will be able to keep you and the Yan family?" ”
Yan Su's mouth hurt a little, and his head was a little confused.
Hurried all the way, and when I returned to Yecheng, I learned that the Queen Mother had died. The Gu family is no different from when they left. The Yan family seems to be no different, but only the people of the Yan family know that except for the juniors such as Yan Weilin, the elders of the Yan family have all been invited into the palace by the emperor, and after many days, none of them have come back from the palace.
"Your Majesty, Gu Xiang and his wife are here."
"All here?" Emperor Wei put down the fold in his hand that was being reviewed: "I thought he would leave his wife in the mansion to listen to the news." It's good to bring it, this is like his Gu Yanqing's style of acting. ”
"The emperor already has a plan in his heart?"
"I have a plan, but I can't tell you." Emperor Wei got up: "Go and call them in." ”
The eunuch summoned Gu Changfeng and Yan Suwen to enter the imperial study, and he gently covered the palace door, and led the two little eunuchs guarding the door to stand in the distance.
Yan Suwen gently pulled Gu Changfeng's hand and motioned for him to open his mouth to ask about the Yan family, but before Gu Changfeng could open his mouth, the emperor spoke first.
"The queen mother did not die of illness, she died of poison, and on the day of taking the poison, I was in the harem of the mother."
"Your Majesty?" Gu Changfeng kept a solemn face, and quietly escorted Yan Suwen behind him.
Emperor Wei glanced at him, turned around and sat back in his chair: "Yanqing, you don't have to be so nervous, I don't plan to do anything to you. ”
"The emperor didn't plan to do anything to us, but he planned to do something to my family." Up to now, Yan Suwen can't care about the bad rules in the palace, and the left and right are dead, so it's better to make things clear.
"I didn't intend to do anything to Madame's family." Emperor Wei looked at Yan Su with a smile and asked, "Whether Madame believes it or not, I summoned them into the palace to protect them." ”
"It's not the emperor, he can speak well."
"Thank you." Emperor Wei still smiled lightly: "If Madam doesn't have anything else to ask, then I can continue." The queen mother died of poison, but she was not persecuted by me. I have two letters here, one is from the queen mother, and the other is from someone who deliberately borrowed the hand of the palace man and sent it to the queen mother. Why did the queen mother drink poison, you will understand when you see it. ”
Both letters are not long, and their content is roughly the same, but the meaning expressed is very different.
"Yes, they all say the same thing. Although I was born into the royal family, I hated the royal family very much, because there were too many unsavory things hidden within the walls of the palace. Cold Palace, Madame should have heard of it. Since ancient times, few of those who have been beaten into the cold palace have been able to come out of it. Whether it is an abandoned queen, a concubine who has fallen out of favor or a palace man who has made a mistake, even if she does not die horizontally, she will die of old age in it. Regardless of their origins, they will inevitably be buried after death, just like my own mother. Although I became the emperor, I never found my mother's bones, and even the imperial tomb was just a well-dressed mound. ”
Emperor Wei sighed lightly: "Although the queen mother and Concubine De are compatriots of the same mother, their temperaments are very different. After entering the palace, Concubine De was favored, but the queen mother was in a corner of the court. If it weren't for Concubine De's rebellion and being killed, the queen mother would not have been innocently involved and sent to the cold palace by her father. ”
"We've heard about these things, too." Yan Su asked in a low voice.
"It's not uncommon to hear about it, I heard it when I was very young, but I didn't take it seriously." Emperor Wei played with the imperial pen on the table: "When the queen mother was beaten into the cold palace, she was already in her twenties, and she had no children under her knees. That person, thinking that the queen mother had no way to get out of the cold palace, bullied her unscrupulously until the queen mother had a child. ”
"Kid?" Yan Su asked softly.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, and it's hard for the queen mother to accept, but there is no one in the cold palace to help her, and she also needs a child to spend the rest of her time with. Perhaps because of that child, that person was much better to his mother, and even when she was in labor, he did everything possible to take your grandmother to the cold palace. Mrs. Gu, your mother was delivered by your grandmother. ”
Although I have thought of this for a long time, when the truth of the facts comes out of the mouth of an emperor, it still makes people feel a little difficult to accept.
"For four years, your mother lived in the cold palace for four years, because she was worried about being discovered, so she was secretly taken out of the cold palace by that person and temporarily placed in your Yan family, until the father was seriously ill and took the queen mother out of the cold palace. Because of her inextricable relationship with the Yan family, and for her future, the queen mother began to arrange her in the Tai Hospital. The Yan family, in order to take care of your mother, chose the most outstanding Yan Baiqing, that is, your father, to enter the Tai Hospital. ”
"Then why did my father and aunt leave Beijing?"
"Because of that man." Emperor Wei looked up at Yan Su and asked, "At that time, my father was seriously ill, and although he was still in power, he was no longer able to support the government. He has the power of the army, and he has nothing to fear, and I, although I am the prince, am still only a half-grown child in the eyes of everyone, and I am not a threat to him. He wanted to blackmail his mother, wanting to recognize his daughter, but the queen mother naturally didn't want such a thing to happen. We all know that this person's ambition is not just as simple as being a prince, he is very likely to use your mother's life experience and the identity of the queen mother to do something more rebellious. If it happens, he won't keep your mother, and if it fails, he won't keep your mother. So, the queen mother and your grandmother jointly planned something to let your father take your mother away from Yecheng and return to the Yan family's ancestral hometown, Yanjiazhuang. ”
"Therefore, the emperor admitted it, admitting that he has been sending people to monitor Yanjiazhuang all these years."
"Those people were indeed sent by me, but not what I meant, but what the queen mother meant." Emperor Wei got up: "There is one more thing, Madame is wrong, those people I sent are not to monitor you, but to protect." As long as I am still the emperor one day, as long as the queen mother is still the queen mother one day, that person must have some scruples in doing things. Oh, and also, the family affairs of the Yan Gu family were also promoted by the queen mother. ”
"Family?" Yan Suwen turned to look at Gu Changfeng.
"Madame doesn't need to take care of the prime minister, he knows all these things. The encounter between the two families of Yan Gu seems to be accidental, but it is actually an inevitability arranged by others. After the gate, how can he be a general, besides, Gu Xiang has shown his talent since he was a child, and it will be a matter of time before he is crowned king. Your mother, Du Ruo, is the biological daughter of the queen mother, and she wants her daughter to return to Yecheng. Bringing the Yan family and the Gu family together, no matter from that point of view, it is excellent. Even, even the acquaintance and intersection between me and Gu Xiang were secretly arranged by the queen mother. ”
"The Queen Mother, she-"
"Being able to stay in the harem unharmed for more than ten years, or even decades, is it really just relying on his sister and the little care left by the emperor? Just because she doesn't have a fight with the world doesn't mean she doesn't have the ability to compete with others. The queen mother has never been a weakling, she just doesn't like that kind of life, but in the end, it is because of her daughter and granddaughter that she has gone to a road of competing with others.
I knew what was going on in my wife's mind, and I felt very uncomfortable when I first learned all this. I am the Son of Heaven, every step I take, everyone I know is arranged by others, can I feel good in my heart? Can you not get angry? But later, I figured it out and figured it out, and the queen mother did it for my good. If it weren't for the arrangement of the queen mother, the person who can sit here today may not be me.
Gu Xiang's temper is the same as me, after he learned the truth, he wholeheartedly wanted to withdraw from his marriage with the Yan family. But in the end, I met and knew my wife, and willingly married my wife back. Does it matter whether this is man-made or providential? The important thing is that the two of you came together and thought it was a good arrangement, didn't you? ”
"What the hell does the emperor want to say?"
"yes, what exactly do I want to say? The reason why the queen mother drank poison was because that person wanted to use these things about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds to blackmail her and force her to comply. The queen mother died of illness, no matter what the person said or did, there was no circumstantial evidence. There was a hint of coldness in Emperor Wei's eyes: "Gu Yanqing, Yan Su asked, I came back to you, just hoping that you can settle this matter with your own hands." This matter, whether big or small, can be a private matter of the royal family, or it can be a state affair related to the national system, how to deal with it, you should know in your hearts. Don't worry, when this matter is understood, the people of the Yan family, I will ask the Royal Forest Army to personally escort you back. ”
Why is it silent
