After speaking, the queen mother took out a gold silk brocade bag from her arms, and after opening it, there was a jade seal inside.

The tray was upright, and a piece of cinnabar ink was held in the corner of the tray.

The Empress Dowager wanted to dip the jade seal into the cinnabar ink, and Su Jinyao hurriedly shouted: "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), wait." ”

"Still waiting?" The Queen Mother asked knowingly, but she still stopped.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Please tell me the truth in detail." I want to know the truth so that I don't regret it later. ”

All questions have their truth and answers, and Su Jinyao doesn't want to be kept in the dark, nor does she want to deceive herself.

She also believes in her own ability to endure, and even more feels that since she has inherited the body of the silly girl (shēn), she should bear all the obstacles and obstacles brought about by her bone and blood relatives (qíng).

"Okay, you listen to me, and then make a decision." After the queen mother finished speaking, she slowly put down the jade seal in her hand, but she didn't put it away, and put it next to the cinnabar ink.

Then, the Empress Dowager recalled a little before she said: "Actually, a long time ago, before the Tuoba clan's Yunji entered the palace, everything had already begun......"

It turned out that the queen mother said a long time ago, it was the first general of the Gu family, when Gu Chengzhong and his wife died in battle.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu Chengzhong are Gu Shangqing's father and mother, and the couple are very gracious (ài).

The man of the ancient family led the troops to kill the enemy, and he was brave and brave; And the eldest daughter-in-law of the ancient family is also a female general, and the double knives in her hands cooperate seamlessly with her husband, and the husband and wife can be said to be invincible.

However, on the way to the west, because they did not know the terrain and terrain, they led the army into a miasma forest. By the time they finally fled with their soldiers, they had already lost nearly half of them.

At this time, they were very close to the territory of the Tuoba clan, and it stands to reason that the Tuoba clan belonged to the vassal state of the Cloud Dome State, and they should be helped.

But the leader of the Tuoba clan refused to come forward to help, and he didn't even send a guide. Not to mention that there was an ambush of another clan not far ahead.

As a result, the Gu couple had already been poisoned by the miasma, and they were ambushed again, and under the bitter battle, the two lived and died together, and finally both died in the end.

When the news came back, the Gu family naturally wanted to investigate the matter, so they hated the Tuoba clan for not helping.

It was also because of this incident that the Tuoba clan selected the most beautiful princess Yun Ji in the clan and sent her to the Cloud Dome Country.

And when Yun Ji entered the palace, she also took her younger brother Tuoba Gao.

The emperor said to the Gu family that these two sisters and brothers were the protons sent by the Tuoba clan to the Cloud Dome Kingdom. Therefore, Tuoba Gao was also left. This matter (qíng) can be regarded as temporarily suppressed.

Tuoba Gao was only ten years old at the time, but he was also a brave young man, and he was very loyal to the emperor.

After another two years, there was the letter of Fang Jiabao to Tuoba Gao as a major general.

At that time, the queen mother did not agree with people of different races to be the generals of the Cloud Dome Kingdom.

But the Fang family has been the prince for several generations to become the emperor, and the Fang family is the emperor, and his words are naturally weighty.

At that time, Yun Ji of the Tuoba clan was pregnant (shēn), and the emperor promised Yun Ji that if she could give birth to a prince, he would agree to this matter. So later Tuoba Gao became a major general.

After that, the Fang family took the initiative to ask to teach the eldest son of the emperor, and then there was an excerpt that asked the emperor to establish Gu Xuebin as the crown prince.

At that time, the emperor said that the prince was young, and he would have to take another look at it and talk about it when he grew up.

But at that time, Yun Ji felt the threat of the Yugui people, because the second prince born by the Yu Guiren was only a few days younger than Gu Xuebin. She was afraid that this matter (qíng) would not work out in the end, so she asked the Fang family to draw up a fake holy decree, and she had to find a way to hide it from the sky and the sea, and let Gu Xuebin sit in the position of the prince first.

But at that time, the queen mother accidentally intercepted the fake decree that was written and sent to the palace, and went to ask the emperor with the fake decree.

As a result, it contributed to this incident. Because the emperor felt sorry for Yun Ji, he took this matter together, saying that it was his dictation and asked Yun Ji to draw up the will. After speaking, the jade seal was also stamped, and this holy decree became a real holy decree.

But Gu Xuebin became the crown prince, but Yun Ji of the Tuoba clan already held a grudge against the queen mother.

In addition, the fact that the Tuoba clan did not help before led to the death of General Gu and his wife (qíng) made Yun Ji think that the Empress Dowager was deliberately targeting her.

Therefore, Yun Ji secretly found an opportunity to ask the Fang family to falsely pass on the holy decree again, and killed the three generals of the Gu family who were out on the expedition.

The Queen Mother found out the truth and informed the Emperor of all this.

The emperor was also shocked that Yun Ji was so bold. After all, the matter of false transmission of the holy decree (qíng) has been done again and again, and the three generals of the Gu family have been killed, if she is allowed to make trouble, won't she be overturned?

Therefore, at that time, it was said that the Yu Guiren killed Yun Ji, but it was better to say that he was instructed by the emperor to acquiesce to the Yu Guiren to attack Yun Ji.

The most wretched man became an enemy

Now Su Jinyao understands why the second prince said to himself that Yuguiren was not the murderer who really killed Gu Xuebin's mother. （）

I think that at the beginning, the Yugui people may indeed have a-for-tat confrontation with the Tuoba Imperial Concubine.

But the woman's palace fighting drama is just a secret hand and a stumbling block, and each uses a knife that kills people without seeing blood.

And if one party really kills the other party directly, then someone has to support it behind it.

And the reason why the Fang family helped Yun Ji several times and dared to make this false holy decree was nothing more than to continue to rely on it in the court.

Because of the three Confucianism in the capital, the Gu family produced a queen mother, and the Feng family produced another nobleman, all of whom were standing figures in the palace.

But the Fang family has only one daughter, Yingniang, and she has already made a private decision with the three generals of the Gu family, so she definitely has no chance to be sent to the palace.

Although it is said that the marriage between Fang Yingniang and the three generals of the Gu family can be regarded as a combination of two powers.

But the Fang family knows very well that the current emperor is not born to the queen mother. And Yun Ji, as the emperor's favorite concubine, had a feud with the queen mother and the Gu family.

In this way, no matter how kind Fang Yingniang and the three generals of the Gu family are, I am afraid that if the queen mother falls, the Gu family will be finished.

Therefore, it is the right way to keep the dignity of the prince of the Fang family and the emperor, and to help another prince.

That's why the Fang family didn't hesitate to harm the Gu family, and went to help Yun Ji fake the holy decree. It can also be said that this is a real court strife.

After some trade-offs, the Fang family chose to sacrifice their daughter's happiness and stood on Yun Ji's side, wanting to help Gu Xuebin sit as the prince.

As a result, Yun Ji was eliminated by the Yu Guiren, and almost at the same time, the emperor also issued the secret decree to execute the entire Fang family.

Imagine, in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the whole family of a minister was wiped out, but there was no trace to be found. Except for the emperor and the queen mother, there is really no one who has such a ability to reach the sky.

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Su Jinyao deeply, and said, "Actually, you can think about it, why did the Fang family suffer a ruin, but only your mother and you were able to escape?" That's because you are the bloodline of the ancient family, so you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Think about my words and believe it or not. ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother also took a deep breath, as if she was still immersed in the events of the year (qíng).

Su Jinyao was already dumbfounded when she heard it. Even if she is extremely smart, it is hard to imagine that she would be such a qíng back then.

She pondered the words of the Queen Mother carefully, but she couldn't find the slightest loophole.

It can be said that if this is a lie, it is also the most perfect lie that has been weaved. In fact, in Su Jinyao's heart, she already believed the Queen Mother's words.

She thought that the most pitiful thing was Gu Xuebin and his mother. Because the mother concubine was killed, she returned the Gu poison.

But now that she heard these words, she realized that there must be something hateful about the poor man.

But Su Jinyao was still unwilling, she smoothed out her clue for a while, and then asked, "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), I still have a few questions. ”

"Okay, you say." The Queen Mother nodded and asked Su Jinyao to ask.

Su Jinyao said; "You said that my father was killed by a false holy decree, so why did Feng Jihe return to Beijing with his men and horses, but he was repeatedly robbed and killed? Who's the hand? ”

If Feng Jihe had returned to Beijing with his men and horses and presented the false holy decree, the matter (qíng) would have been revealed to the world.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said, "I don't know that Feng Jihe is still alive (qíng), and I guess the emperor doesn't know either." It should be someone from the Fang family, or someone from the Feng family, who secretly attacked in order to deal with my Gu family. It is also possible ...... It was the major general Tuoba Gao at that time. ”

Hearing the Empress Dowager mention that her uncle might also be the one who killed the three generals back then, Su Jinyao's heart twitched inexplicably.

After letting go of this question, Su Jinyao asked again: "Then after the Yugui people killed Yun Ji back then, they attacked Gu Xuebin again, did you also acquiesce?" ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment when asked, and finally nodded slightly. said: "But Che'er is also a royal blood after all, and he is a child, I can't bear to strangle him directly, so later Helian Ruo helped him escape, I also opened one eye and closed one eye." The Helian family is completely ignorant of the events of the year (qíng), and only the Helian family is completely innocent in this matter (qíng). She just does what she wants to do according to her preferences. In this regard, Helian Ruo is a little similar to you. ”

After speaking, the Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said, "However, the cycle of retribution, the Gu of the noble people is also under mine (shēn)." Yu Guiren knew that she was involved in too many things (qíng), and now that Xuebin has returned, she is worried that we will push her out and blame all the things (qíng) on her, so she will attack me. ”

Su Jinyao gritted her teeth secretly and said, "One last question: Now Gu Xuebin, the prince, do you admit it or not?" He said that you intend to take Helian Tianqi into the royal family's surname, and make him the eldest grandson of the royal family and the prince? ”

"Miss Liu, please pay attention to your attitude, words and deeds." Aunt Ma hurriedly reminded her: "The one in front of you is the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "It's okay." She is the daughter of the Gu family, and like Xueqi and Yuxuan, she can call me an aunt (nǎi) (nǎi), since she is her own family, there are not so many taboos. ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and said, "Since the Queen Mother is willing to recognize me, please let me know." ”

The Empress Dowager seemed to be weighing the wording, and only said after a while: "Actually, there are no absolutes, Xuebin is indeed very good, and he is a good prince." We also believe that he will be able to become a generation of Ming Jun in the future. It's just that...... Your relationship with him is inextricably linked, what do you think? ”

"My thoughts?" Su Jinyao was stunned, her eyes flashed, her heart seemed to understand something, she turned her head to look at the decree, and asked, "Does the Queen Mother want me to choose?" ”

"Yes." The Empress Dowager said with a resolute face: "Yun Ji is the one who directly killed your father, and you have a grudge against his mother." And Yun Ji's death is actually inseparable from me and the Gu family, which is equivalent to him having a grudge against the Gu family. In such a chaotic situation, what do you think can be related to the two of you? ”

Su Jinyao's brain "buzzed", and she felt that this matter was really a mess that she couldn't imagine.

In fact, if you think about it further, did your uncle Tuoba Gao participate in this incident?

The uncle only knew that he was an orphan of the Fang family, so he felt very sorry for himself (ài), thinking that they owed the Fang family a debt.

But what if the uncle knew that he was also a child of the Gu family? Will he suddenly change his face and become an anti-himself situation?

Can you find a place to start?

Su Jinyao never imagined that she and Gu Xuebin, who were simple and beautiful (ài) (qíng), would suddenly become so chaotic and complicated. （&￥）

It's not the problem between the two of them, it's the two families, and even the entire royal family, that weigh on them (shēn).

How to choose? If Su Jinyao chooses Gu Xuebin, she is the real crown princess.

But everything that was before will continue, and the hatred will continue. If one day Gu Xuebin also knew the truth, what would he think?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao shuddered and asked, "Che, does he know about this?" ”

"I don't know." The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "All the things (qíng) recorded by the royal historians back then are in front of you. This is something I collected very early. And before Xuebin asked people to investigate the dossier of the ancient family's annihilation, he found nothing. ”

"Before that, you also intended to let the daughter of the Gu family marry as the crown princess?" Su Jinyao remembered what Gu Xuebin had said to her, and said, "And the princess of Tianze Kingdom, what's going on?" ”

Even if Gu Xuebin doesn't know what happened back then (qíng), maybe many people in the Gu family don't know, including Gu Shangqing, who doesn't know 内 (qíng).

But why did the Queen Mother know that there was such a grievance, and still let Gu Xuebin marry the daughter of the Gu family?

The Empress Dowager didn't think about it this time, but replied simply: "Once the marriage is made, the situation of the Gu family ruling the harem will continue, what do you think of the grievances in this case?" As for Princess Miina, she is just a pawn between Tianze Kingdom and us after all. ”

The Empress Dowager continued: "At the beginning, I knew very well that your mother was carrying the bones (ròu) of the ancient family, but the Fang family wanted to stand on Yun Ji's side on the opposite side, and the false holy decree that killed Cheng Duo also came from the Fang family. Therefore, I can't let the daughter of the Fang family be implicated in the Gu family. ”

Su Jinyao suddenly understood that as long as her status could be consolidated, what was a girl's happiness?

Once the moment of truth comes, you can choose between (ài) (qíng) and you can trade, everything depends on which team you stand on.

Su Jinyao looked at the copy of the decree that Aunt Ma was still holding in front of her, grabbed it violently, and tore it to pieces.

Then, Su Jinyao looked up at the snow outside the window and said, "I am willing to be Gu Xuebin's woman, it doesn't matter if he is the prince or not, and I don't care if I can be the crown princess." Now that there are thousands of entanglements in front of me, it is really difficult for me to choose. But I'm not entangled in hatred, but I respect Gu Xuebin's choice. ”

If Gu Xuebin didn't care about any hatred, then Su Jinyao was willing to put aside the Gu family's (shēn) share, as long as she could be with him.

But if Gu Xuebin is too obsessed with the death of his mother, then Su Jinyao doesn't want to gamble with her happiness at all.

Even if she now has the will of the queen mother, what if she becomes the crown princess? (ài) The human (ài) is gone, what does she insist on?

Bright yellow fragments fell, and her crown princess vanished.

Su Jinyao bowed (shēn) to the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, you really look exactly like a person who is very good to me, so I call you grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), which is also a sustenance for her." But after this (rì), my heart no longer cares, I only want to live a free life and choose the path I should choose. My people will naturally follow my footsteps, and if there is no one, no one will be able to keep me. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao turned (shēn) and strode outside.

The Queen Mother and Aunt Ma were both stunned. In the end, Aunt Ma chased after her quickly, shouting, "Miss Liu......"

"Aunt Ma, did you lie to me?" Su Jinyao's eyes shone coldly, and she stared at Aunt Ma tightly and asked.

"No, I didn't lie to you a word." Aunt Ma hurriedly waved her hand and said, "My daughter's name is Meng'er, I really found her according to your method, and she has indeed become inhuman now." The false decree of the crown prince prepared by the concubine Tuoba back then was also discovered by me. But not many people knew about this (qíng), and everyone thought that the emperor's eldest son, Xuebin, should be the prince. ”

Now Su Jinyao understands why Gu Xuebin must let himself pay attention to Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma is Gu Xuebin's (rǔ) mother, or she may be the Empress Dowager's eyeliner placed next to Yun Ji (shēn).

It was precisely because of this that she was able to discover that Yun Ji had asked the Fang family to create a false holy decree (qíng), and the Empress Dowager was able to intercept the false holy decree.

In this way, Gu Xuebin's intuition is right.

But he may never have imagined that the name and words of the crown prince were not right, and his mother used a false holy decree to add the emperor's favor (ài) in exchange.

And his mother concubine can also be said to be self-killed if she commits many injustices, which is the saying "if you don't die, you won't die".

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao looked at Aunt Ma again. Seeing the white hair on her sideburns and her somewhat sloppy eyes, I felt that she was indeed a mother's wound (qíng).

said: "If you really didn't lie to me, I will find a way to save your daughter." I already know her condition, and I will find a solution within three months, and make an antidote and send it to you. As for whether she will be able to hold out for three months, or how much the antidote will do her, I can't guarantee it. ”
