Fifty, step by step
"In six years, if there is reincarnation, I am afraid that the second prince has already been reincarnated and re-entered the world. Everything in the world has a measure of proportion, Niangniang is so obsessed with seeking blessings, aren't you afraid that the second prince will not be able to support such blessings in the next life? Although Xuanming Palace is cold and lonely, the matter of the four princes is not completely unknown to Niangniang. ”
Shen Zhaorong's eyes moved, flashing a trace of calm and suspicion: "What do you mean by this?" Why are you cursing me? ”
Pei Zhenwan gave a little blessing and said: "I don't mean to offend the second prince, it's just that Niangniang has studied Buddhism for so many years, the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the karma of good fortune are naturally clearer than me. ”
Shen Zhaorong thought about it for a long time, she naturally knew that this was not all unbelievable, and said with a little discouragement: "I also understand that what you said is right, but as Yi'er's biological mother, I couldn't take good care of him when he was born, and he died suddenly, and I can't help him accumulate some merit anymore, and I don't know what else to do." ”
"In the past few years, Niangniang has scattered all the money in the palace, and she has taken it to the national temple to donate incense and sea lanterns to the second prince, and she has done enough. What's more, the second prince died suddenly, and the mother suddenly closed the palace, I think there must be some inside information. ”
When Pei Zhenwan said these words, she didn't feel compelled to ask, but sighed with emotion, Shen Zhaorong's complexion moved a little, but it was a little like entering the red dust.
Shen Zhaorong's head tilted slightly to the side, looking out the window at the white light that came into the room, and there was a little dust floating gently, making the whole beam of light flow.
Pei Zhenwan saw that Shen Zhaorong had not answered for a long time, and slowly said again: "If Niangniang is confined in Xuanming Palace for a long time, I am afraid that in the future, there will be no chance to remind His Majesty of the second prince, and in the world, who else will remember that there was once a second prince in Chen Kingdom?" ”
A tear passed over Shen Zhaorong's face, and she couldn't help muttering: "Of course I don't want to, it's just that His Majesty was so anxious to settle the case, and then, he didn't investigate the matter deeply, I once insisted, begged him, begged him to give Yi'er an explanation, but he avoided me." Since he doesn't care about it anymore, what else can I do? ”
"Niangniang doesn't believe that a little eunuch, so coincidentally, was the source of typhoid fever back then?"
"I don't believe it, of course!" There seemed to be a flash of fire in Shen Zhaorong's eyes, "But at that time, I was sick, and the entire Xuanming Palace was sick, no one could catch the clues, and no one knew what was going on." Yi'er is so young, I was not by his side before he left, how lonely he should be! But what about Your Majesty and the Empress? After checking the evidence, it was just a little eunuch. I have no strength, no evidence, and no help, so that's all I can do. Perhaps, it was fate that I had no chance with Yi'er. ”
At the end of Shen Zhaorong's speech, the light in his eyes had gradually dimmed, and he had returned to his previous depression and dullness.
Pei Zhenwan listened to these words quietly, and there was a slight pain in her heart, the seven sufferings in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, I can't ask for it. The marriage between mother and son is only one year, and once heaven and man are separated forever, they will never see each other again.
Pei Zhenwan said quietly: "The second prince is one year old, and he left you, you are sad, sad, and immersed, but I can understand it." My sister-in-law, when she was separated from her nephew, was also a year old when my nephew was one year old, and my nephew was also called Yi'er, Yong Yi. ”
Shen Zhaorong couldn't help but be stunned, and asked unknowingly, "Your nephew, too?" ”
"No, it's my sister-in-law," Pei Zhenwan shook her head, a slight bitterness at the corner of her lips, "My brother and sister-in-law died in a war." When Yi'er was one year old, he no longer had parents, and when he was three or four years old, he began to be sensible, so he often asked me, Auntie, where is my father? If they are not with me, do they not love me anymore? ”
Shen Zhaorong could feel the bone-eating pain, like a heavy hammer on his chest, stuffy, with pain in his chest, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law must love children very much." This kind of blood affection and love will never be wiped out and dissipated because they are not in one place. ”
"Zhaorong Niangniang can persuade my sister-in-law and nephew to be herself, why can't she figure it out?" Pei Zhenwan's words changed and returned to Shen Zhaorong.
Shen Zhaorong was a little stunned, a little shocked, a little flustered, a little helpless, turned into a weak palm, and after rubbing it on the table, it fell down gently.
Pei Zhenwan watched her expression change carefully, like a cloud cat that had been waiting to hunt for a long time, her eyes were focused, she only waited for the last shop, and said faintly: "Zhaorong has been silent in Chen Palace for these six years, and has lived a light life like a nun, but do you still remember that when Chen and Shu were friends, you married to Northern Chen as the niece of the eldest princess of Nanshu Yi'an, these years, you have been busy chasing the second prince, have you ever taken care of the relationship between Chen and Shu?" ”
"I," Shen Zhaorong's expression was a little evasive, "where am I qualified." ”
"You are Zhaorong, one of the nine concubines of Chen Palace, gave birth to the second child of Chen Palace before Wei Guifei, Liu Xianfei, and Song Zhaoyi, and you were in Chen Palace at that time, I am afraid that no one can overpower you except for the queen," Pei Zhenwan said when she was excited, she stood up, and her long body carried a trace of coercion, "But five years ago, when Chen Shu fought, and when Shu Fengzhou was ceded to Chen Guo, you were busy washing your face with tears in Xuanming Palace, and you were busy copying scriptures for the second prince who could not be resurrected from death, do you know that Fengzhou was defeated and broken, and more than 20,000 people of Shu died on the shore of the white water?" ”
Shen Zhaorong naturally knew that battle, even though her heart was like ashes at that time, but in the Chen Palace, where was the news that could not be spread? At that time, when she heard about this, she only sighed a few times, and when she burned grass and scriptures for Yi'er, she just said a few more words for the people who died in that war.
In that battle, Shen Zhaorong thought about it, and suddenly his expression lit up, and he couldn't help but stand up: "You said your brother and sister-in-law, you are from Shu?" ”
"That's right," Pei Zhenwan nodded, "The moon of Mount Emei is half autumn, and the shadow enters the water flow of the Pingqiang River." I am from Shudi, my family, died in the war five years ago, you and I are both people who know the pain of life and death. ”
"At that time, I couldn't make a word or two for Shu and Fengcheng, it's really me not," Shen Zhaorong remembered the loss of more than 20,000 people, although it had been a long time, but he also had a sense of remorse, "It's just that this matter has been a long time ago, I hope you can come out as soon as possible, and don't hold a grudge against Chen Guo." ”
Pei Zhenwan nodded: "The dispute between the two countries, the war is as usual, this dynasty is chaotic in Southern Shu's own government, and the Shu Emperor favors traitorous ministers, it is already stormy, it is not the Chen State to conquer, it may also be the Southern Chu, but it is no wonder that the king of the Chen State." I mentioned the old things today, just hoping that Zhaorong Niangniang will remember that in addition to being the mother of the second prince, you are also a native of Shu and Zhaorong in the Chen Palace, and you have to carry a lot more than you imagined. ”
Shen Zhaorong didn't answer this immediately, but his expression was already thinking a lot.
Pei Zhenwan saw that the time was coming, gritted her teeth, and simply said: "Even if you have no feelings for Shu Kingdom, but in the past few years, your depression, Qin Gongmo and his wife, who are in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, are they living so well?" ”
Shen Zhaorong raised his head, his face was full of shock, and he unconsciously glanced out the window, even though there was only the figure of the two of them, Shen Zhaorong lowered his voice and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"Or, I should call Shen Zhaorong's real name, Qin Jiqing. Is it? ”
