Proverbs (4)
At the beginning of winter, the seasons are different, avalanches are everywhere, and frost damage is frequent.
Qin Tianjian played, there was a calamity star in the southwest, and there was a faint sign of endangering the main star. This remark is referring to Xu Zhao, saying that she is a disaster star who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and staying in it will become a big disaster.
As long as this kind of thing comes from the mouth of Qin Tianjian, no matter how absurd, it can be convincing.
Hearing this, the court's internal and external ministers played one after another, asking for the calamity to be killed in order to stop the natural disaster.
Matters involving the society of the country must be taken very seriously; It's just that since Xu Zhao entered Beijing, she has been constantly wrong, and it seems to be very reasonable to say that she is a disaster. And this time, even Xie Jun couldn't keep her, maybe to this day Xie Jun also regretted bringing Xu Zhao back to the royal capital, thinking that he could stay with her for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to harm her like this.
Xu Zhao was taken away by the forbidden army, and Xie Jun was also grounded in the palace to prevent him from going crazy to rescue Xu Zhao.
Xie Xuan heard about such a thing as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he and Xie Jun had a good relationship since childhood, so he asked Emperor Chengji to allow him to visit his eldest brother. It's just that he was really startled when he saw Xie Jun, Xie Jun was very depressed, and he was very different from the brother Wen Run and Xi in his memory before.
Xie Xuan has always been a selfish person, and when he saw his brother become like this, he really didn't have a good impression of the culprit who was rumored to be passed on by word of mouth, but he had to cheer up: "Brother, I'm back." ”
"Yuming?" Seeing his younger brother who he hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Jun tried his best to pull out a very ugly smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xie Xuan's head, "Yuming, when did you come back?" Did you do well with the errand that your father gave you? ”
Xie Xuan didn't expect Xie Jun to ask this as soon as he opened his mouth, so he was anxious: "It's not good to let my father have the final say." Brother, what the hell is wrong with you! You should have a bright future, just for a woman, is it worth it? ”
Hearing him mention Xu Zhao, Xie Jun closed his eyes in pain, and heard Xie Xuan continue: "Brother, you should marry Miss Ji, she will be a good princess, and her family will also help you." And that Miss Xu from Xilin, she will only drag you down. ”
Xie Jun shook his head sadly and asked Xie Xuan: "Yuming, have you ever had a favorite girl?" Seeing that Xie Xuan shook his head blankly, he continued, "You know what? When I first met Ah Zhao, I knew that she was the person I was destined to be. Yuming, when you meet the girl you like one day, you will understand. ”
Xie Xuan bit his lower lip fiercely, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, before he whispered: "The person I like must be the princess who my father gave me a marriage." ”
"Yuming, you don't understand." Xie Jun just muttered.
Xie Xuan really couldn't bear to see his brother sink for a woman, he was secretly thinking about some things in his heart, and finally made up his mind; That Xu Zhao was indeed a scourge, at least in Xie Xuan's opinion.
After coming out of the Qi Palace, Xie Xuan went to the heavenly prison, where Xu Zhao was imprisoned.
It's just that he saw a woman sneakily carrying a lamp into the prison from a distance outside the prison, and that figure looked a bit like his mother, Mrs. Chu; Xie Xuan was surprised why the concubine came here, so she quietly followed.
I don't know what the woman said to the jailer who guarded the prison, and the jailer led her inside; When Xie Xuan came in, the group was about to salute, but Xie Xuan was afraid of disturbing the people in front of him and hurriedly stopped him, so he followed quietly.
He was basically sure that the woman who went in just now was his mother, but what did the mother concubine do when she came to see Xu Zhao?
Hidden in the dark, Xie Xuan was sure that Lady Chu had not discovered her existence.
He had heard that Xu Zhao and his mother, Lady Chu, looked similar, but in the past, he had only heard of it, and he had only seen it with his own eyes now; In the dark prison, the woman knelt peacefully behind the fence, the lamp in Mrs. Chu's hand emitted a faint light and fell on her face, she seemed to be smiling slightly, looking at Mrs. Chu.
If Xu Zhao hadn't been younger, Xie Xuan would have almost mistakenly thought that the woman in prison was his mother.
"Mrs. Chu, you're finally here!" Xu Zhao spoke indifferently, with a shallow smile on his face, as if he had been friends with Mrs. Chu for many years.
Mrs. Chu took off her veil, her expression was a little panicked, she looked at this woman with a similar face to hers, staring at her face: "You, who is it?" Hongu has never seen you! ”
Xu Zhao just smiled lightly: "But I have already heard of Mrs. Chu's name when I was very young. Miss Chu Qing, the side girl of the Chu family in Huizhou, I'm not wrong, right? Back then, it took a lot of effort for Empress Xuan to find you out of the Chu family and bring you to the royal capital, making you the lady of Chu who favored the harem. Am I right? You should be very grateful to your aunt, Empress Jingmu of the previous dynasty, otherwise you would have to stay in Huizhou for the rest of your life. ”
Looking at the smiling girl, Mrs. Chu's face turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost crawling out of hell: "You, who asked you to come?" Who asked you to come to the royal capital? You are not Xu Zhao at all! Who told you to confuse the royal capital? ”
Xie Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, also felt very strange when he heard the conversation between his mother and Xu Zhao. He heard that Xu Zhao was just an ordinary folk girl from Xilin, this was the first time she came to the royal capital, and she didn't know anything about the royal capital at all, so how could she be so clear about Mrs. Chu's life experience and entering the palace? And the mother's reaction was also very strange, as if she was afraid of Xu Zhao.
Intuition told Xie Xuan that this Xu Zhao was indeed very unusual, maybe she was sent by someone to deliberately destroy the eldest emperor's brother.
This strengthened his determination even more, no matter what, this Xu Zhao couldn't stay.
"Does Madame really want to know who I am? yes, who am I? Xu Zhao stood up and stretched out his pale hand to Mrs. Chu, "However, I guess Madam doesn't want to know who I really am." ”
Mrs. Chu took two steps back in shock, her body trembling slightly.
Xu Zhao's tone was very brisk, and the smile in his eyes became stronger: "It seems that Mrs. Chu is very interested in me." Twenty-three years ago, I was born in the royal capital, and I should have been surnamed Xuan; I don't know if Mrs. Chu is still satisfied with this answer? ”
"You're, you're that girl?" Mrs. Chu looked extremely frightened, and then shook her head, "Impossible! How can it be? How could you be her! His Majesty said, His Majesty said that she was already dead. ”
"My father has never seen me, how can he know if I am dead or alive?" Xu Zhao sneered.
"So you want to take revenge on Your Majesty, you want to take revenge on everyone, so you deliberately seduced the King of Qi; What else do you have to do? Mrs. Chu asked with a white face.
"I don't want to do anything, you guys are the ones who provoke me first." Xu Zhao looked at Mrs. Chu innocently.
After the lamp in Mrs. Chu's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, the world completely fell into darkness.
