Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Past

After several investigations, it was found that Defu in the palace of the crown princess had been on duty in Concubine Zhuang's palace many years ago, and this Concubine Zhuang was the deceased sister of Concubine Shu and the biological mother of Changle Gong, the eldest son of Qin Wangshu. And when Defu first entered the Hundred Flowers Palace as an errand boy, he was recommended by Concubine Shu, saying that he was honest and reliable. On the eve of Defu's suicide by taking poinsettias, he was seen meeting with Concubine Shu.

In this way, poisoning the phoenix and blaming the crown princess, Concubine Shu will inevitably participate in it.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I know that the queen is worried about the crown princess in the cold palace, so I carefully made some snacks and brought a bottle of osmanthus brew to the cold palace to visit her.

Shan Li was very happy to see me coming, and hurriedly asked me about the news of Prince Fu Hong. I told her that Taizihong was still guarding the border, but he had brought her a flying pigeon to pass the book.

Shan Li couldn't wait to open the letter, and after reading it, she burst into tears and hugged the letter tightly to her chest. Now that the Jin State and the Qin State are facing each other in the north and south, it is at the moment of a thousand moments, and war is about to break out. Fu Hong, as the Grand Sima of the Qin State, shoulders the responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country, so he can't leave his post without permission because of his children's personal affairs and return to the Qin Palace to see her. But he instructed Shan Li to obey the will of the queen mother in everything, not to give up lightly, and believed that there would be a day when the clouds and mist would be cleared and the moon would be bright.

I opened the food box, took out all the dim sum, and poured osmanthus wine for Shan Li.

"Niangniang, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the slave maid specially brought the best osmanthus brew, how many cups can you drink?"

"You can have a few drinks with me!" Shan Li said.

"Okay, then the slave is disrespectful!" I say.

After a few glasses of wine, Shan Li told me about her childhood.

Her father, Shan Xiong, was originally a shogunate soldier of Fu Jian, the king of the East China Sea at the time. At that time, the emperor Fu Sheng was brutal by nature and addicted to murder, which put everyone in the court in danger. Fu Jian took advantage of the night's sleep, led Shan Xiong and other personal soldiers to infiltrate the palace, captured Fu Sheng, imprisoned him in the other garden, abolished Fu Sheng, and finally established himself as king.

As a meritorious man who helped Fu Jian ascend to the throne of God, Shan Xiong was named an auxiliary general after Fu Jian succeeded to the throne.

Recalling all kinds of childhood, Shan Li remembers it vividly. When she was young, because Princess Gou liked her very much, she often took her to the palace to play. Later, the princess simply took her to the palace and let her study and live with the princes and princesses. She was also very close to the princess, and spent more time with her in childhood than with her mother.

However, such a woman in a high position that she respected did something that made her ashamed.

Before she died, her mother, Lyro, told her something she would never accept. That is: this noble, princess whom she regarded as her own mother, actually had an affair with her father, Shan Xiong. Because her father had an affair with Princess Gou, he ignored Liluo for many years and was a stranger. made Liluo grief excessively, suffered from tuberculosis, and died prematurely.

Not only that, but Gou took away the heart of someone else's husband, not only did he take away Liluo's child. She took Shan Li to the palace in order to take Liluo's daughter for herself and leave Liluo with nothing.

Because he was afraid of the rights of the Gou family and was afraid that her husband would be blamed by the king of the East China Sea for his affair with the princess, she held back for many years, hoping to save Shan Xiong's heart over time.

But it backfired, Liluo waited for a lifetime, looked forward to a lifetime, and finally did not wait for Shan Xiong's change of heart. Liluo died of depression when Shan Li was twelve years old, and told Shan Li all this before he died, hoping that she would beware of Gou and avoid being mutilated by her.

"My mother loved poinsettias, because the color of poinsettia was dazzling red and so dazzling, while my mother's life was gray. After she died, I filled her graveyard with poinsettias. In the overwhelming red, she is truly beautiful! ”

"Perhaps, your mother is too worried! The queen won't hurt you! I said.

Mother wasn't wrong. Brother Hong and I grew up together and developed a deep relationship. I have long been in love with him, and I swore that I would not marry him in this life, and Brother Hong did the same to me. ”

"At that time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Brother Hong was named the crown prince. He took the opportunity to ask the queen to marry me. But when the queen learned about it, she was furious, and immediately scolded Brother Hong, locked him in the palace, and did not allow him to meet me. I didn't give up, and begged in every way, but she actually said that she never thought of letting me enter the royal door, and that I could only be the sister of Brother Hong forever! When Shan Li said this, he was already in tears.

"I hate her! Hate her for killing my mother! I hate her for pretending to be a hypocrisy! Hate her for breaking up me and Brother Hong! Since then, I have vowed to be a man under one man and above ten thousand, and I want that poisonous woman to be punished as she deserves! Shan Li's eyes burst with hatred.

"In order to break up me and Brother Hong, she actually sent someone to send me to Yuncheng, wanting to cut off the connection between me and Brother Hong. It's a pity that she did this, after all, it was in vain, and in the end, I didn't enter the East Palace and take charge of the power of the Six Palaces? ”

"Brother Hong and I decided to make a private decision for life, and soon I became pregnant with Brother Hong's child. The queen had no choice but to agree to our marriage. But after only a month in the palace, my child is gone! The child can't be absent for no reason, it must have been done by her, by that vicious woman! ”

"Have you ever thought that you can be in charge of the power of the Six Palaces, it is the queen's intention! After all, this harem is still under the control of the queen. I reminded her.

Shan Li listened to my words and fell silent.

"Niangniang, I believe you will be able to get out of this cold palace soon! The Queen Mother is blind, but she is still working on your business. I don't think she would have worked so hard for you if she wanted to hurt you, don't you think? I continued.

"No matter what she does, she can't make up for the damage she did to my mother. My mother died because of her, and this is a reality that cannot be changed. She did this only to make amends for the sins she had committed! ”

"It's getting late, the slave and maid should go back." I said goodbye to the crown princess. "The slave will come to see you another day, and I hope you can understand the hard work of the queen!"

After saying that, I left the cold palace, leaving the crown princess there alone in a daze.

Who would have thought that a noble queen would have such a feeling for herself. Everyone in the world is difficult to say the word "love", who is right and wrong, and who can say clearly, the way is clear?
