Chapter 379: A Secret I've Been Hiding for a Life
"Huh." A few people answered and went out.
No one asked Guo what he wanted to say to Yin Zhige.
After all, the Guo family is now at the end of the crossbow, and everyone doesn't want the Guo family to worry about it.
Seeing that everyone had gone out, Yin Zhige stepped forward with red eyes and took Guo's hand and asked, "Mother, what did you want to explain to me by leaving me?" ”
Although Guo couldn't see Yin Zhige's expression at the moment, just listening to the voice, he knew that Yin Zhige must be sad and tight.
Guo Shi didn't rush to speak when he heard this, but instead stretched out his hand tremblingly and put his hand on Yin Zhige's hair, as if Yin Zhige was a child.
Yin Zhige bit his lip, for fear that he would sob, making Guo's heart sad.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and neither of them broke the silence.
After a long time, Guo Shi sighed and said: "Some things seem to be the time, and those who should come will always come, I thought I could live a peaceful life here, but I didn't expect to be discovered after hiding for so many years." ”
Yin Zhige didn't understand why a country woman from the Guo clan suddenly said such a thing.
But when I think of Guo's murmuring in the nightmare a few days ago.
Yin Zhige always felt that this matter was not so simple, and he felt that there seemed to be some earth-shattering old past that was about to be involved.
And the reason why Guo left him alone must be that the secret is related to himself.
Thinking like this, Yin Zhige was faintly nervous, but his thin lips were pursed and he didn't say a word.
"Zhige, in fact, the sudden aggravation of my condition this time is not accidental."
"Mother, what do you mean...... I heard from my eldest brother that the doctor diagnosed that you have a knot, what happened? Yin Zhige asked eagerly when he heard this.
Guo Shi didn't answer Yin Zhige's question: "Zhige, in fact, for so long, I really treat you as my own biological son, you can call me a mother, I'm very happy, your child is also very sensible, but I don't have the blessing to really be your mother." ”
Yin Zhige was stunned when he heard this, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked at Guo's lips trembling and said, "Mother, you ...... What to say? You're my mother, of course. ”
Guo Shi seemed to expect Yin Zhige's reaction, Guo Shi shook his head, and then said: "A few days ago, some people suddenly came to Longjing Village, and they looked like people who practiced martial arts, and I had a bad premonition at that time, and then I heard that they were looking for people from house to house, and the person they were looking for was you, so I knew that this peaceful day was over." ”
"It's just that I didn't expect that my old bones couldn't withstand the toss so much, and I fainted directly out of fear, but fortunately, now I have a chance to explain it to you, and it is not in vain that my mother gave me a request before she died."
Yin Zhige listened with bated breath, as if there was an answer to break through the ground.
"Zhige, you are a smart child, you probably already know, you are not my biological son, your biological mother is the queen of Xichuan, and I am actually just a dowry maid next to the queen's mother, the queen and the emperor fell in love, the concubine was jealous, but the mother of the family was strong, taking advantage of the emperor's royal conquest, when the queen mother was about to give birth, she had a bad idea, when the queen mother knew that the concubine would be moved, but the queen mother was embattled in the harem at the time, and was monitored everywhere, and finally found an opportunity to make some preparations, Only then did I give birth to you desperately, and then replaced it with a dead baby, so that I could escape with the real prince in my arms. ”
Although he had been prepared for Guo to tell some shocking secret, he didn't expect it to be like this!
Guo's bland words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, instantly shattering Yin Zhige's heart defense!
Yin Zhige's already emaciated face turned pale in an instant, and the hand holding the mattress couldn't help but clench.
Yin Zhige desperately tried to figure out the clue, but his mind seemed to be blank.
I only feel that some beliefs in the past ten or twenty years have collapsed in an instant.
"Zhige ......" Guo Shi was worried that Yin Zhige would not be able to withstand such a blow for a while, so he opened his mouth and shouted uneasily.
Yin Zhige took a deep breath as far as he could, stabilizing his already chaotic mind.
"That'...... Big brother he ......"
After being silent for a long time, Yin Zhige finally opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse.
"Your eldest brother is my biological son, the reason why Niangniang asked me to escape from the palace with you back then, firstly, because I was Niangniang's dowry maid, and I was one of the few people around her who could be trusted, and secondly, because I had experience in childbirth and raising at the beginning, so I could take better care of you."
"At the beginning, the old slave's husband was the guard next to the mother, escorted us all the way to escape here, and then encountered an accident and left, all these years I have been worried every day and night that someone will find out this secret, originally thought that our family may be here in this life, but when I saw that you became a general, I have been worried, even in this environment, I still can't hide your talent, I know that your fate is definitely not limited to this, but I didn't expect this day to come so fast."
"Zhige, you are now older and have your own thoughts, I tell you this, not that you are blinded by hatred, how to go in the future, it is all up to you to make your own mind, the old slave just doesn't want to live up to the expectations of the queen mother, the queen mother sent you out desperately, in order to let you live a life in peace, so I chose this remote place to hide people's eyes."
Although he had heard Guo Shi say so much, Yin Zhige still felt that he couldn't accept such a reality.
Although the first half of his life was hard, it was not smooth, but the family was always happy.
It's just that his life is gradually stabilizing now, but he knows that he is actually the prince of Xichuan.
There really is no such thing as empathy in this world.
When he knew Zhong Xiaoshu's true identity before, he was also worried or distressed for Zhong Xiaoshu.
But there wasn't a moment when he felt it as strong as he did now.
Sure enough, I can only understand it after I have experienced it.
"Since she knew early in the morning that the concubine would do it, why didn't she want to go out or save her life?"
Yin Zhige has no impression of his biological mother, and he has no feelings for the queen mother in Guo's mouth.
I have to admit that his heart hurts at this moment.
Bursts of stinging pain swept in wave after wave, piercing into the heart like a pinprick.
After all...... It was a woman who had traded her life for his life, and her true mother.
He owes her life.
