Chapter 53: Speculation
Mama Gong took a deep breath and struggled inwardly.
"Mama, you must not tell my brother about this." Xie Yan and Fearing that Mama Gong would make her own assertions, she looked serious and emphasized to Mama Gong again.
Mama Gong muttered, "You dare to hide such a big thing." If the Hou Ye knew about it in the future, how sad it would be. ”
"When my brother returns to Beijing, I will make it clear to him." Brother Xie Han is the person she trusts the most in this world. Xie Yanhe would never keep his brother in the dark.
"The titles of the eldest young master and the second young master are because of ......," Mama Gong wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's Your Majesty's compensation for me." Xie Yanhe's nails sank into his palms, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in his peach blossom eyes.
Mama Gong didn't know what to say. After a while, she said softly: "You and the Li family's marriage, Master Hou does not agree. ”
"But my grandmother has already exchanged marriage letters with the Li family." If there is no justifiable reason, it is difficult to get rid of this marriage.
This is also the reason why Xie Yanhe did not take the liberty of quitting the marriage. After all, her reputation is already very bad, and she has to prevent Donggong from making a fuss about it.
"You don't have to worry about this, that's what the eldest princess should worry about." There was a hint of mockery on Mama Gong's loving face, and she said lightly, "The Hou Ye holds the handle of the eldest lord in his hand, and the eldest princess will give in for the sake of her son." ”
Xie Yan frowned, he could make his hard-hearted grandmother obey, presumably this trick was not small.
Don't......
Xie Yanhe's beautiful eyebrows were dyed with a solemn color: "Mama, back then...... Could it be that the uncle was also involved in the struggle for the throne? ”
The county lord is really smart. Mama Gong showed a look of relief on her face. Before she came, she was really afraid that the county lord would be taught by the eldest princess to have a one-dimensional temperament, but it was okay...... The county lord is still more like the first lady.
"That's right. Back then, the eldest lord secretly took refuge in the five princes, and by chance, the marquis got a secret letter written by the eldest lord to the five princes......"
Mama Gong paused when she said this, and a hesitant look appeared on her face. Thinking of the request that Hou Ye had given her before she came, she couldn't help but swallow her words back.
Xie Yanhe didn't miss the strange color on Mama Gong's face, and she had a very bad thought in her heart.
"Mama, you tell me the truth, back then, my father's whereabouts...... Father's whereabouts ...... "Xie Yanhe couldn't talk anymore.
The death of his father has always been a scar hidden deep in Xie Yanhe's heart, and it has not healed until today.
If...... What if my father's death was not an accident, but a conspiracy?
Xie Yanhe's beautiful face faded from blood in an instant and became pale as paper. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes are like a lake frozen by the severe cold, and as far as the eye can see, there is a bottomless cold.
"County lord, don't worry, you listen to the old slave slowly......" Mama Gong looked at Xie Yan and her pale face, only to feel extremely distressed, she hurriedly said, "That's just Hou Ye's speculation, Hou Ye hasn't found tangible evidence there......"
"So my brother thinks the same way." Xie Yanhe seemed to have been drained of his life, and fell softly into Mama Gong's arms.
Tears silently spilled out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks to his lips.
Xie Yan and her white teeth bit the tender cherry lips and bleed, and she said in a dumb voice: "Mama, if my father's death is really related to Xie Jin, I will definitely send him down to confess his mistake to my father!" ”
"County Lord, maybe you're just thinking too much. There is no evidence for this. Mama Gong hugged Xie Yan and kept comforting.
She gently wiped her tears for Xie Yanhe, and said, "The eldest lord and your father are compatriots of the same mother, and the letter to the fifth prince can only prove that the eldest lord and the fifth prince have colluded. The Hou Ye sent someone to secretly investigate the matter, also to help the eldest master sweep away the traces, so as not to fall into the hands of political enemies. ”
"Mama Gong, you don't have to persuade me." Xie Yanhe's eyes stared at the top of the hibiscus tent with gold and flowers and butterflies above her head, and her tone was quiet: "I know my brother." Did my brother tell you to hide it from me before you left? ”
Mama Gong smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from the county lord." ”
Her tone was wistful: "Before you know it, you have grown up." The slave wants to protect you, but you don't need the slave anymore. ”
"Mama, don't say that." Xie Yanhe's sweet and soft voice revealed a trace of choking, and she threw her head into Mama Gong's arms, absorbing the warmth and fragrance of Mama Gong's body.
Xie Yanhe, with a hint of nasality, said glutinously: "In front of you, I will always be a child." ”
Mama Gong's heart was sour, tears instantly rushed out of her eyes, and she said repeatedly: "Okay, good, you are here with Mama, you will always be a carefree child." ”
Xie Yanhe successfully diverted the topic, she slowly closed her eyes, and the warm tears were hidden in her eyes, as if they had flowed back to her heart, sour and salty.
Xie Yanhe knew that his brother tried his best to hide it from her in order to protect her. But she is no longer the little girl who could only despair and cry in the face of the death of her parents. She grew up, and as a son of man, she couldn't let her father's death be unknown.
Brother's trick of throwing stones to ask for directions is a good strategy. All Xie Yanhe needs to do is add a fire to this.
"County Lord, did Your Majesty really promise you the position of queen?" Mama Gong knew that when these words came out, the county lord would definitely not be happy in his heart. But she knew the news too late, and she couldn't hide her ears and steal the bell at this time.
"Mama, a few years ago, Your Majesty also promised me the position of crown princess." Xie Yanhe would not believe in Emperor Jianyuan's promise at all, not to mention, he didn't even have a promise, just a phoenix hairpin that represented the queen's regulations.
"County Lord, if you have to come this far, you might as well think about the benefits."
Mama Gong also knew that the county lord was very wronged in her heart, but under the imperial power, in addition to accepting her fate, where could she fight for it. It's a good idea to plan ahead.
"Mama, I know it." Regarding her relationship with Emperor Jianyuan, Xie Yanhe was reluctant to talk deeply, her eyes fell faintly on the candle flame in the house, and said softly: "It's late, you should rest early." ”
Mama Gong sighed and helped Xie Yan and tuck the quilt: "The old slave will accompany you tonight." ”
……
Ping'an Eldest Princess's Mansion, time has passed three watches. The eldest princess, who usually slept peacefully, lay on the Luohan couch, and the whole person was sleepless.
"Your Highness, the people have brought it, and it is just outside the house." Pang Jialing carried a night dew into the house.
"Let her in!" The eldest princess of peace sat up from the Luohan couch, her phoenix eyes were gloomy, and there was no trace of brilliance.
Pang Jialing clapped his hands, and the guards escorted in a woman with a big tie, the woman was about twenty-seven or eight years old, although she was gagged by the guards, she looked bleak, but it did not affect her good color.
The eldest princess of peace looked at the woman's apricot eyes full of panic, and her watery eyes revealed a hint of charm, charming and delicate, which made people want to be destroyed. Even in this realm, he didn't forget to show off his style.
Such pickled stuff! A trace of disgust flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, she slowly withdrew her gaze, and said casually: "The eyes are good. He took the veil from her mouth. ”
The guard received the order and hurriedly stepped forward to remove the handkerchief from the woman's mouth.
"The slave family greets the nobles." Although the woman didn't know the identity of the woman in plain clothes on the Luohan couch. But judging from the extravagant ornaments in the house and the dress of these guards, the identity of this old woman must be amazing.
"Your name is Jade Niang?" The eldest princess looked at the woman's unusually flexible black eyes and said slowly.
"Returning to the nobles, yes." Although Yu Niang didn't know the identity of this nobleman, she was a person who had rolled in the Fengyue Field, and she had already developed a pair of sharp eyes.
Although the woman's clothes are simple, but the material on her body is a haze silk that is hard to buy, in the dim light, it is a moon-white like water, and in the bright light, the dark lines on the cloth are sparkling, which can refract the seven colors, so it is very precious. Besides, this woman's style is not easy to match at first glance.
Therefore, Yu Niang replied cautiously.
"Take it down and interrogate it." The eldest princess of peace looked at the little woman who could not hide her frivolity in her wit, and she was happy for a while. She waved her hand, a deep crease between her eyebrows.
"Nobleman. What is it about the slave family that offends you? Yu Niang was frightened, and thought in confusion: Among her guests, there is no such old man!
"Noble, please give the slave a chance to explain......," Jade begged mournfully.
"Don't gag yet!" Pang Jing scolded the guards impatiently.
The person was dragged down, and the atmosphere of coldness and tranquility returned to the room. Two lines of tears oozed from the corners of the eyes of the eldest princess of peace: "What kind of sin has this palace created!" ”
"Your Highness. You want to take care of your body. Pang Jing looked at the tiredness on the face of the eldest princess of Ping'an, and said very worriedly.
"Pang Jing, you say, Ah Jin has no heart!"
The eldest prince of peace took the initiative to move his lips, and his tone was full of endless disappointment and sadness.
"This palace is really hard, how did you raise such a wolf-hearted thing!"
The eldest princess of Ping'an's words, Pang Jing was not easy to answer, he was silent, and still said a good word for Xie Guogong: "Grandpa Guo is also confused for a while......"
"Confused? Can you attack your brother if you are confused for a while? The eldest princess closed her eyes weakly, her eyes full of bitterness.
"It is said that tiger poison does not eat children! Xie Yi, he is so ruthless! No matter how much he hates me, Ah Jin is also his biological son, but he raised people to waste......"
The eldest princess of Heian felt that her life was a joke. How proud she was in the first half of her life, and how bleak and ironic she was in the second half of her life.
It's sad enough for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, but I didn't expect it to be a brother's wall! The eldest princess of Ping An thought with great sadness that maybe Yan He was right, all the sins she created were repaid to future generations.
Pang Jing knew very well that the eldest princess was not very sober when she was hit by the news she had discovered. At this time, shouldn't he think about how to remedy it, in case the truth is found out by the Marquis of Jingping, according to the temperament of that master, he will not be soft because Xie Guogong is his uncle.
"Your Highness, there is no proof of death." Pang Jing reminded the eldest princess in a low voice, and his gloomy voice made people feel a chill in their hearts for no reason.
