105 innings in the middle of a game
"Get on your knees." In the Shangguan family's court. A woman is gorgeous and generous, dressed plainly. With his back to Shangguan Jueai in front of him. Shangguan Jueai wanted to see her face clearly, but in the dim light, he couldn't see clearly.
And against the fathers and fathers. Shangguan absolutely loves to kneel down and is righteous, and he has nothing to say. It's just that the woman in front of her is too calm, and her tone is so strong that Shangguan Jueai doesn't dare to refute.
"Who are you, why did you come to my Shangguan's house." Although the woman in front of her spoke in a strong tone, but there was no malice, Shangguan Jueai let down her guard, and Zhou Zhou knelt uprightly.
"Before your father's spirit, you need not say much." The woman turned around, and Shangguan Jueai finally saw clearly, it turned out to be the Empress Dowager Jingxian. Seeing the face of the Empress Dowager Jingxian, her beautiful appearance was not a little fat, although she was about fifty years old, she couldn't see her old appearance at all, presumably, she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young.
"Why is the Queen Mother in the service hall of my Shangguan family?" This was the first sentence Shangguan Jueai asked after seeing her face clearly.
"Want to know?" There was still no mercy. Some are just deserted.
"Want to know?" Shangguan Jueai replied honestly, I don't know why, in front of the Empress Dowager Jingxian, he is always powerless to resist. No matter how disagreeable the Empress Dowager Jingxian was to him, he didn't dare to resist.
"I'm his wife. That's why I'm serving in Shangguan's house. Empress Dowager Jingxian pointed with a slender jade finger and pointed to Shangguan Yunxiao's tablet.
For a moment, it seemed as if the air was no longer circulating. Even a pin can be heard in the already quiet waiting hall. The wind rustled outside the window, and the wind blowing from the cracks shook the spiritual lamp burning in the service hall.
With the actions of the Empress Dowager Jingxian, from behind Shangguan Yunxiao's tablet, there was an extra tablet. There are a few words written on it. "Beloved wife Shangguan Ning's Lady Lu's spiritual seat."
Shangguan Jueai's thoughts came alive, and he wanted to sort out all the things in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.
I saw Shangguan's bewilderment. Empress Dowager Jingxian chuckled.
"You don't understand. You think your mother has been dead for many years, no, I didn't die, I went to the palace, and I was sent to the palace by this man. Shangguan Jue likes to listen to all this as if he was talking about it in the Arabian Nights, as if he was listening to a big joke. Something that no one can believe is about to happen.
"You shameless father, in order to get the throne and get the country, it can be said that you have tried your best to send me to the deep palace. Threaten me with you. Che'er. Do you know how difficult it has been for your mother over the years? Faced with the helpless explanation of the Empress Dowager Jingxian, Shangguan Jueai only had to listen carefully.
But why, why? Can you give me a reasonable explanation? I don't accept all of this. I don't believe you're my mother. "Shangguan Jueai really doesn't want to believe the facts in front of him.
"I am your mother, your own mother. At that time, the world was decided, and the Jing family sat on the country, and your father couldn't see it. has ill intentions towards the Jing family. At that time, the emperor Jing Ze sat on the throne for 20 years and did not come out. Your father united several princes, and wanted to choose a virtuous and talented person from among the prince's children to succeed to the throne. But they don't know what your father thinks. He stole the prince's child, and wanted you to steal the beams and change the pillars and sit on the throne of God. The Empress Dowager Jingxian said quietly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Impossible, my father taught me when I was young that I should put the interests of the country first, he couldn't do such a thing, I don't believe it." Shangguan Jueai stood up, a little unable to accept the reality.
"You don't believe it, and I don't believe he thinks so, but it's true. I don't want you to believe it or not, who expected, Jing Ze saw through your father's intentions and was ready to ruin his plan. It happened that year that Jing Zexin's newly married little emperor was pregnant with a child, so in the face of pressure, several princes did not dare to speak anymore. waited for the little emperor to give birth to a child and then do the theory, who knew that that year, the little emperor gave birth to a girl. Jing Ze came up with a plan and used the strategy of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix. Shengsheng said that the child was a boy and was named the crown prince. When the girl was five years old, she was sent to the emperor's temple to pray for the emperor's family. Ten years later, when he returned, he turned out to be a young man with a partial demeanor. ”
"The young man you are talking about is Jing Ruoran, he doesn't look like a woman?" Shangguan Jueai couldn't figure it out. I really can't figure it out.
"If it's a real man. He is the son of Kou Sansi. "Empress Dowager Jingxian is still flat, as if she is talking about something that has nothing to do with her.
"According to what you mean, Ko Leer is the girl back then, that is, the princess who is straightforward." Shangguan Jueai finally figured it out.
"Yes. Nothing had to do with her. She can live the life of a princess of her own. However, your father found out the truth of the matter out of nowhere, and used this to coerce Jing Ze. Jing Ze was helpless, so he made a treaty with your father that was not a treaty. Let the real princess marry you. Your children are the next generation of emperors. Originally, whoever the princess married was Jing Ze's biological daughter. Half of the children she gave birth to were bloody. It's about blood. Jing had to agree, so he made an agreement with your father and Kou Sansi. ”
"Are you saying that only the children of me and Le'er can be the next generation of emperors?"
"Yes. If so, it's just a transition. Only the children of the Shangguan family can sit in the country in the future. But you don't know what to do, and you are like this to Le'er, and now, the child is gone. Le'er is heartbroken with you again. That's how your father's plan ended. You say, "Should you kneel or not?" "Empress Dowager Jingxian pointed to Guan Yunxiao. Although, back then, Shangguan Yunxiao was afraid that Jing Ze would change his hexagram, so he sent his wife to the palace, that is, Ning Lu. Paid so much. What did you get?
"Then how do you explain my father's obsess? But I knew it was Kou Sansi's medicine. "Shangguan Jueai is still unrelenting, and wants to ask the truth.
"Three people, under my watchful eye, took the red at the same time. Jing Ze, Kou Sansi, Shangguan Yunxiao. Each of them has to keep their plans secret. "Empress Dowager Jingxian is very helpless, she is also a participant. It's just that she's also a little innocent.
"I understand, from the beginning, I, Jing Ruoran, and Kou Leer were all in a game, a game within a game. Isn't it? Our fate was decided by the three of them. "Shangguan Jueai has finally made sense. He knew why Shangguan Yunxiao wanted him to marry Kou Le'er before he died, and he was only allowed to marry her alone in his life, in order to share the country equally with the Jing family. And the other person who really has nothing to do with this matter is Ko Le'er. All the hatred didn't exist, it was his own father who wanted to divide the Jing family equally. That's why I came up with this decision.
"I was wrong, it turns out that all this has nothing to do with her?" Shangguan Jueai finally knew what he was wrong with, and he often lamented the unfairness of fate. It turned out that the real unfairness was Kou Leer, a princess of her generation, who was reduced to her own wife and suffered so many grievances.
"It's none of her business. She is so kind, if you don't know, if you love her well, you may live together for the rest of your life. So happy. I won't be bothered by any desires, unlike your father, who sacrificed me for the sake of future generations. "Empress Dowager Jingxian cried." It's so hard to see your son. Even if it is his son in front of his eyes, he will not recognize him. In this way, it was all done by your father. Empress Dowager Jingxian walked to Shangguan Yunxiao's tablet, lifted it, and threw it heavily on the ground, and Shangguan Jueai did not stop it. Because, Ning Lu has paid too much for the Shangguan family, so what's wrong with smashing Shangguan Yunxiao's tablet.
"I don't believe everything you say, how do you confirm that what you say is true." Shangguan Jueai didn't believe her. It's just that these things came too suddenly. How can I convince him?
"It's okay if you don't believe it, open my tablet, open it, you look at the picture inside, and you will naturally understand all this. Che'er, you are my child, I am your mother, I will not lie to you. ”
Shangguan Jue Ai opened the thick tablet after a few clicks, as Ning Lu said, there was really a portrait inside, unfolded, the woman in the painting had affectionate eyes, a smile at the corner of her mouth, flashy but not lustful, very enchanting. Look closely, on the bare skin of the neck, there is a colorful butterfly birthmark, ready to fly. That temperament and appearance are very similar to the woman in front of her, but the woman in the painting is too young and self-conscious.
"Now, you should believe it." Ning Lu ripped open the collar, and sure enough, she saw the exact same colorful butterfly. No more doubts. Shangguan Jue Ai finally closed the picture scroll. Close your eyes and meditate.
"So, you named Le'er a princess, just so that the child can enter the palace justifiably after birth, and then implement the unfinished plan. Isn't it? "Shangguan Jueai said his own physiognomy, so that he wanted to make all this not true.
"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. I can't do it myself. Thank you for your understanding. I can't watch the Jing family's country fall into the hands of foreign surnames, and good and bad Le Er is the heir of the roots. ”
"We're all in the same game, but the layout is all dead. There is no escape from us. Isn't it? Shangguan Jueai was still pressuring Ning Lu. Until Ning Lu no longer answered positively.
"Che'er, can you call me a mother." Ning Lu's tone was no longer as tough as just now, it was just a mother's call to her son, so strong that she wanted to hear Shangguan love to call her mother.
"Queen Mother, give me time to accept everything. All right? Shangguan Jueai didn't want to hurt her heart, after all, the reason for all this was not because of her, just like Kou Le'er, she treated her like that, in the end, these things have nothing to do with her. He has already broken Kou Leer's heart, but he can't hurt his mother's heart anymore.
"Well, I don't force it. I just have a word for you, be kind to Le'er. Don't do the same wrong things as your father, your fate is in your hands, don't regret it until you hate the beginning. Do it yourself. After Ning Lu finished speaking, he picked up Shangguan Yunxiao's tablet on the ground again and put it on, this man can sacrifice himself, but he doesn't hate him at all, all because he loves him too much.
