Chapter 076: Digging Graves and Removing Bones, Dripping Blood to Recognize Relatives
When the white horse passes through the gap, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is a midwinter month, the weather is cold, the branches are swaying, the city is cold and windy, Xiang Lin did not find the beloved Ziying, Bochen did not find a trace of Wan'er, and the lingering love is like the Qionghua flying in the sky, and the sorrow is inexhaustible.
In the Southern Yanzhou Thorn History Mansion, Xiao Zong was talking to his mother Wu's side hall, Wu was crying and crying, as if he had all kinds of grievances, while Xiao Zong was pacing around with a look of surprise and panic, as if he was burning his feet.
"No, no, it can't be, it's not true... The mother is lying to the child, right? Xiao Zong shook his head and was emotional, Wu sat at the head of the bed and wiped his tears, "Yuanjue, what I said for my mother is true..."
Wu was originally the palace man of Xiao Baojuan, the marquis of the Eastern Dusk of Southern Qi, Xiao Baojuan was fortunate to be killed by Xiao Yan, and was established as Shuyuan (the title of ancient concubine), when Wu was already pregnant, but concealed the facts, and gave birth to Xiao Zong seven months later, Xiao Yan did not suspect Xiao Zong's identity, thinking that he was his own flesh and blood, and loved him in every way, and when he grew up, he was crowned the king and empowered, although the other sons were more suspicious of Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan still protected him everywhere.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, the elderly Wu family gradually lost their favor, and they were left alone, and the concubines who competed for favor fought openly and secretly, intrigue, all of which made Wu Shuyuan disheartened and tired, she really didn't want to stay in this cold and strife palace, so she told Xiao Yan what she wanted, and Xiao Yan allowed her to go to Southern Yanzhou to live with Xiao Zong, which was also a fulfillment of one of her wishes.
Xiao Zong has been riddled with nightmares in recent days, often dreaming that a middle-aged man is holding his head, standing in front of the bed without saying a word, just staring at him coldly, and his head is still dripping with blood. Every time he encountered this dream, Xiao Zong got up and sat up, so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't sleep anymore.
When there was no Zhou Gong, and he couldn't find a master of dream interpretation, Xiao Zong told his mother about the strange dream, Wu Shuyuan asked the man what he looked like, Xiao Zong elaborated and said in detail, Wu was shocked when he heard it, and the appearance of the man said by Xiao'er was almost the same as Xiao Yan's appearance when he was young.
The frightened Wu family had a premonition that something bad might happen, so he told Xiao Zong's true identity and the rumors in the palace, Xiao Zong was also stunned, he really couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to accept such a fact. "If the father had known about it, the child. . . Xiao Zongchang sighed, and Wu Shuyuan didn't know what to do, so she cried vigorously.
One evening three days later, Xiao Zong secretly took a team of people and horses to leave South Yanzhou in a hurry, and went straight to Danyang Yin, Yangzhou, the grave of his biological father Xiao Baojuan is in the northeast of Danyang, only sighing that Xiao Baojuan was arrogant and lascivious during his lifetime, indiscriminately killing innocents, unpopular, and there was not even a decent cemetery after death, if Xiao Zong was not soft-hearted and buried him Jianjian, I am afraid that only the ghost knows where he was buried.
Xiao Zong and his entourage rushed to Danyang in civilian clothes, and only after many inquiries did they learn where Xiao Baojuan's grave was. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at night, Xiao Zong took a group of attendants to the cemetery to dig up the grave, took out the bones of his father, and then buried the loess, and hurried back to the Thorn Mansion overnight.
"What?? You... How can you dig up your father's grave! No matter how evil he is, he is your biological father after all! ... Oh my God, do evil! When Xiao Zong returned to the Thorn Mansion, he found his mother's room and told him bluntly about the unfilial things he had done.
However, Xiao Zong's face did not change, he had no remorse, and he still seemed to have doubts about who his biological father was, and raised his head and stared coldly at the three feet in the air, "Mortal beings beg the gods to learn from them!" He then took out a wooden box from his bosom, which contained half of Xiao Baojuan's phalanges.
Xiao Zong pulled out the dagger and cut the palm of his hand, raised the phalanges above his head, and coldly watched the blood dripping on the phalanges, only to see the blood soaking into the bones and melting into it. Xiao Zong, who was angry, clenched his palms to make the blood flow faster, but all the blood melted into the bones, and nothing fell.
"No!!" Xiao Zong rushed to his chest, shouted to the sky, and smashed his finger bones on the ground, Wu cried and knelt on the ground, holding the bones in the palm of his hand with trembling hands, and repented and apologized.
......
"Sister is pregnant, and it's cold outside, so it's better to stay in the room with peace of mind, so as not to hurt the fetus." Ziying was playing with plum blossom branches in the backyard, enjoying and laughing at the plum blossoms, just seeing these bright plums, I don't know if I can think of the plum grove in the black mountains, she and Xiang Lin walked in the forest, laughing and playing, and she also promised him to plant plum together in the coming year... This time, it seems that all these good memory fragments have passed away with the wind.
"My sister doesn't know, the room is too stuffy to say, and the husband doesn't have a good face, it's rare to have good weather today, and it's okay to come out and enjoy the flowers." Fu Lianzhao's eyebrows were faintly depressed, since she was pregnant, her husband Xiao Zong was still as lukewarm to her as before, and in recent days, his face has been even colder, and he has lost his temper at her inexplicably from time to time. Fu Lianzhao asked Xiao Zong why he treated her like this, Xiao Zong was silent, in fact, Fu Lianzhao knew that she just didn't want him to suffocate his body.
"It's so nice to be alone, free and unrestrained, and you won't have as many troubles as Sister A." Since Ziying followed Fu Lianzhao into the Assassin's Mansion, he didn't worry about eating and drinking, and he didn't think nonsense, he was light and light, and he was really comfortable.
"Little ghost, who doesn't want to be free and carefree, but you and I are both ordinary people, sometimes we can't help ourselves, sometimes we think about others, and we can't help it, so we will be worried, unless... Unless Ah Mei wants to become a nun, this is pure and comfortable~" Fu Lianzhao quipped, but Ziying said, "Why not, Ziying's parents are dead, and she has no worries for a long time, and she doesn't care if she is an earthly person or a Buddhist..."
"Okay, okay, look at you, you don't look like a 'monk' at all~ By the way, Sister Ah asked someone to find a good son for you, and I have time to invite you to come to the house to meet Sister A, how about it?" Fu Lianzhao regards Ziying as her own sister, she is quite concerned about her affairs, and thinks about her everywhere.
"No.. How dare my sister's relatives bother my sister, it's better to make plans again... What's more, Ziying doesn't have this plan yet..."Ziying is the age when her love is beginning to open, and she has Fu Lianzhao, a warm-hearted sister, to help her, even if the high-ranking officials in the state are trying to make friends with Shi Xiaozong, the second prince of the current saint will spare no effort to climb this family business, no one cares who Feng Ziying is, the important thing is that Fu Lianzhao is her sister, as for whether it is near or far, and no one cares.
Ziying couldn't understand why she was so resistant, so inexplicable, she just couldn't fit any man in her heart, she didn't want to see them, she didn't want to know them, her heart told her to wait, but what to wait for, but she didn't know. Whenever this strange thought arises spontaneously, the figure of a person comes to mind, faintly, unseemly, unreachable.
"Sister, what's wrong? If you don't like it, you can choose again, there are many good men, there are always those who catch your eye~" Fu Lianzhao was also shocked by Ziying's reaction, she didn't know why she was so excited. "Sister's kind sister knows, but the blind date must not be..."After saying that, he left in a panic, Fu Lianzhao shook his head and smiled lightly, but there was no way, she would never force Ziying to do anything she didn't want to do.
Half a month later, Fu Lianzhao gave birth to a son, who was a man, and the Assassin Mansion was jubilant, holding a banquet to celebrate, Wu Shuyuan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, but Xiao Zong's cold face was heavy, and he didn't look happy at all.
