Retaliation (2)
"Actually, since I was a child, I knew that the queen mother didn't like me because my father didn't like me." Xie Lan said with a sad expression.
In fact, the mother he remembered was not so beautiful, all of this was just based on his nostalgia for his brothers and sisters over the years.
He told Xuan Jinhuan: "Do you know why I grew up next to my grandmother? After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly, "It's because my mother has always disliked me, and my mother said that I was a disaster star with a bad fate; It is said that it was because the queen mother almost died when she gave birth to me, so I thought that I wanted to rush with her, and I was thrown to the nurse as soon as I was born, and the queen mother didn't even look at me. My grandmother took pity on me, a child whose father didn't love my mother, so she brought me to her side, and it could be regarded as a companion for my eldest sister who was raised by my grandmother's side at that time. ”
Xuan Jinhuan felt strange when he listened to Xie Lan's narration; Empress Xuan didn't like Xie Lan because she almost died when she gave birth to her, but later Empress Xuan really died in childbirth when she gave birth to Xie Zerong, but she still loved Xie Zerong very much. Why is that?
She always felt that it couldn't be so simple.
After Xuan, Xie Lan, what are the secrets that no one knows?
She listened to Xie Lan and continued: "I thought that if I was obedient and worked hard, the queen mother would love me and love me, just like Mrs. Yan loved the eldest brother; But no matter how hard I try, I can't get back a look from my mother. Later, the queen mother had another child, and I quietly ran back to see the queen mother, and I saw the queen mother stroking her belly and smiling very happily, and she said that she wanted to get what everyone coveted for the unborn child; I have never seen a queen mother so happy, it seems that it is the only one who has her child. It wasn't until later that the queen mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Zerong, she worked hard to keep Zerong, and she finally smiled at me before she died, she took my hand and asked me to protect Zerong well, because the man who can't even protect his sister is a coward. ”
So this is why Xie Lan has always been obsessed with Xie Zerong, which is not only his brother's love for his sister, but also what Xie Lan wants to prove to his long-deceased mother.
Xuan Jinhuan listened to this long-ago story and felt very pity for Xie Lan.
She couldn't think of anything that would make a mother hold a grudge against her child.
However, Xuan Hou is long gone, and this answer is naturally unsolvable.
Originally, Xuan Jinhuan didn't believe that there was such a crazy thing, because Yong'an had caught Beihu's secret agent and asked about some strange things, and Master Xuan asked Xuan Jinhuan to further investigate on the Wangdu side; But there are some things that can't stand scrutiny at all, and starting from the East County side has almost solved the things that have been puzzled before.
But sometimes the more things she knows, the more questions she have, and the more she thinks she is, completely distorted from what she thought she was.
Originally, Xuan Jinhuan wanted to continue to investigate the affairs of Xuanhou in depth, but unfortunately most of the confidants around Xuanhou in the past are no longer alive, and the rest are just some inconsequential people.
In fact, the more mysterious things are, the more they show that there are ghosts in them, and who knows what it is that they cover tightly.
Now that so many things are on the surface, in fact, it is even more dazed.
Xuan Jinhuan couldn't understand what Empress Xuan wanted to do when she laid out such a big game of chess, and Xie Lan was not her enemy, so it was really incomprehensible to go to such great length.
At that time, after finding out these rare things, Xuan Jinhuan also asked Master Xuan in a letter if he could believe these things.
She knows very well that evidence is not completely credible, human evidence can be bought, physical evidence can be forged, and anything can be fake. However, Master Xuan said that according to Princess Yixing's temperament, she really seemed to have done such a thing; Xuan Jinhuan has always believed in her stepmother's words, after all, her stepmother knows more than any of them, so she just listens to her mother-in-law's words.
Just listening to Xie Lan talk about what happened when he was a child, Xuan Jinhuan didn't know how to comfort him.
Anyway, it is a grievance between mother and son, and she should not be an outsider at all.
"If the queen mother really treats me as an enemy, then I have nothing to say." Xie Lan was very discouraged.
Anyway, Empress Xuan was gone more than ten years ago, so he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
Xuan Jinhuan poured him a cup of tea, Xie Lan took it and drank it all before continuing: "From the moment I was born, I was destined to have no choice. I thought that my life would be like this, until I met you, Miss Jinhuan; I, in fact, who wants to be mediocre all their lives? Who wants to be a fish to be slaughtered? It's not just a last resort. ”
"When you're in it, there's no outsider." Xuan Jinhuan inadvertently saw someone wandering downstairs, and suddenly someone sighed.
"What?" Xie Lan was a little confused, and didn't seem to hear what Xuan Jinhuan said clearly.
"It's the person next to Princess Qi." Xuan Jinhuan looked at the woman thoughtfully.
That woman was the female envoy beside Ji Ruoli, and she followed Ji Ruoli from Beining to the royal capital from the beginning.
But since Ji Ruoli married into the Qi Palace, Xuan Jinhuan has never seen her again, and the bits and pieces of news about Ji Ruoli also come from the palace.
I saw the woman looking around and sneaking around below for a long time before entering the Yunyan Pavilion.
But what is she doing here? Ji Ruoli is a person from Beisi, if she has anything, she should also go to find Beisi, no matter how bad it is, she can also go to Liang Guogong.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard Yi Yu whispering outside the screen: "Miss Jinhuan, Miss Lan next to Princess Qi is here, saying that Princess Qi asked her to come to see you, and she has something to tell you." ”
"Miss Jinhuan, Lan will leave first." Xie Lan saw that Xuan Jinhuan should go out to meet the woman, so he got up and resigned.
"Your Highness walks slowly, Jin Huan is inconvenient to send him off." Xuan Jinhuan also got up and said with a smile.
Sending Xie Lan out of Yunyan Pavilion, Xuan Jinhuan turned around and entered the back hall, and saw the woman who was carefully looking outside Yunyan Pavilion just now: "You, is Miss Lan from Beisi?" ”
The woman nodded hurriedly: "Yes." The master is now sending Lan'er to be a female envoy by Miss Ji's side to help Miss Ji succeed. ”
"Miss Nalan, why did you come to me?" Xuan Jinhuan asked.
"The princess wants to see Miss Xuan." She said, "In three days, the princess will return to Ning, and she will meet at Huining Pavilion." ”
Huining Library, Xuan Jinhuan knew that it was the Ji family's industry, so he was not surprised.
But Ji Ruoli acted so mysteriously that Xuan Jinhuan was really puzzled: "I don't know what happened to the princess?" ”
Lan'er only said: "It's about Miss Xuan." ”
"Me?" Xuan Jinhuan was dumbfounded.
