Chapter 419: Journey to the Rivers and Lakes (31)
Zhou Sheng showed a smug look on his face, and he said loudly to everyone: "You can see clearly, this jade seal is true or false, so it is clear." The identity of this Ling Yu Emperor Ji, everyone naturally does not have to doubt it. She is now the biological daughter of the virtuous concubine Niangniang next to Emperor Chu. She is our emperor's biological concubine. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was talking again.
Ling Yu didn't care about the pain in his hands, and just stared at this Fang Yuxi blankly. Could this be her jade seal that destroyed the country? When did it flow out of the heavily guarded Chu Palace and fall into the people? But the little doubt in my heart was shattered by the anomaly just now.
She naturally knows what the truth of this jade seal means, it has only been more than ten years since the fall of the country in Huadi, and the people's hearts have not yet been decided.
The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became, and even the big man in her grip pushed her away, but she didn't realize it.
β¦β¦
She was sent back to the small courtyard where she had been imprisoned blindfolded, and it was only when it was dark, and when she took off her blindfolded face towel, she still sat on the bed and was stunned.
Zhou Sheng hadn't come back yet, thinking that he was staying in the cave and consulting with the group of people on how to rebel. The door creaked open, and the mute woman came in with hot porridge, and Ling Yu came back to her senses.
The mute woman put the porridge on the table, but she did not go away, but looked at her. Ling Yu ate silently, and she suddenly spoke: "Where did you go last night?" β
Ling Yu was startled, and the porridge in his hand almost knocked over to the ground: "You...... Old mom, can you talk?! β
"Where did you go last night?" The old woman did not answer, but looked at her and repeated it again.
"He took me to the cave." Ling Yu remembered what he had seen last night, and couldn't help but feel depressed, Zhou Sheng actually had a jade seal in his hand, so he had to find a way to inform Zhanfei.
"I didn't embarrass you, did I?" The old woman pointed to her injured finger, and her cloudy old eyes showed a hint of pity. Ling Yu's heart warmed: "It's okay, I accidentally scratched it." β
"He shouldn't have done that to you. After all, you're the Emperor. The old woman sighed suddenly. Ling Yu naturally knew that the "Emperor Ji" she was talking about was not the Emperor of Chu State, but the Emperor Ji of Hua State.
Ling Yu thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "He is also for the restoration of the country, but, old mother, I see that Emperor Chu is a good emperor......" She suddenly stopped halfway through speaking, and it was naturally very inappropriate to say this to the righteous people who opposed Chu.
Unexpectedly, the old woman did not refute, and was silent for a while before speaking: "My daughter was killed by the rebel army when the Chu army went south that year...... If she were alive, she would be as old as you. β
Ling Yu was suddenly speechless. After the old woman finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the room, her thin back heavy as a mountain in the morning mist. Only then did she understand that sometimes, hatred and hatred are not forgotten by all people with the passage of time, but only allow the living to prolong the pain.
As the day gradually brightened, she unfolded the note in her arms and looked at it through the hazy window, and looked at it for a long time before slowly putting the note in her mouth and swallowing it.
β¦β¦
Chu Palace, Chaohe Palace.
The cigarette smoke in the copper tripod was swirling, and on the side of the dragon case, Chu Huotian was wearing a dark embroidered gold-rimmed dragon robe, wearing a crown inlaid with purple jade and gold on his head, and his cold face was faintly in the smoke.
The door of the palace opened slightly, and Li Jingcai bowed down and walked in: "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo Xiang has arrived." β
"Xuan! - " He put down his pen, and his handsome face looked tired. After a while, Cha Sanshao strode in in a purple court robe.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long liveβ"
"Flat body-" Chu Huo Tiandao glanced at him carefully, and with a wave of his hand, the door of the palace closed, and silence returned to the imperial study.
"Eighteen Road Eagle Guard, you sent the Nine Roads, my Zha Aiqing, in your heart, is the country of Chu important, or ...... Is she important? With a deep voice, the emperor on the seat seemed to suddenly unguard and lightly stated a fact.
Zha Sanshao raised his head in amazement, and unexpectedly, he met Chu Huotian's Xuan Yan.
Chu Huotian lowered his head and smiled lightly: "When I was young, I had a good brother who I met when we were in the army, and he didn't know that I was a royal prince and nobleman, and he had a good relationship with me. He used my word, but not the supreme word "I".
Zha San Shaofu knelt down in silence again.
Chu Huotian stepped down from the dragon case and slowly walked to his side: "At that time, I was leaving Beijing because of the dislike of the first emperor, and I was very depressed in my heart. He didn't mind my lack of words. Whatever is good, share it with me. Even in war, he protected me in a matter of life and death, and if it weren't for him, I would have died a few times. I was grateful, but I didn't say it, always thinking that one day I would be able to repay him. β
In the silent hall, only his voice was echoing, and he looked at Zha Sanshao who was kneeling on the ground, lifted the hem of his dragon robe, and sat beside him.
Cha Sanshao was startled and wanted to move, but he pressed his shoulder: "It's okay to sit together." β
"Then one day, the Liang Kingdom came to attack, we went to ambush and block, the battle was won very easily, but passing through a small village, I accidentally stepped on the hunter's trap and injured my leg, helpless, so I had to find a family in the village, treat the wound and then return to the camp. He stayed to take care of me and stayed in the village for five or six days. β
"There was a girl in that family, who was kind-hearted and handsome. After a few days, we both had a good impression of her. However, what I was thinking about at that time was how to make a contribution, how to return to Beijing and regain everything that should have belonged to me. Naturally, there is no male or female affection for her. But, my brother, he was secretly in love with the girl. β
Chu Huo Tianchang let out a long sigh and continued: "My injuries are healing very quickly, and I will be leaving in five days, but the day before I left, the girl ran to my room and confessed her heart to me. I was grateful for her kindness, but I declined. On the night of our departure, my brother sighed, and when I asked, I realized that he liked the girl. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I thought that he was very good, and it would be of great help to me if he were to be my confidant in the future. β
"Then I said to him, "A brother is like a brother, and a wife is like a garment, and I will give her to you." My brother was puzzled, and I said that the girl liked me, and if I tried to persuade her, the girl would have listened a little. Unexpectedly, my brother was furious. He said, how can a beloved person say let go? If he really let it, it would not only insult him, but also insult the girl. β
When Chu Huotian said this, Zha Sanshao was already stunned, and his face was like ashes.
