Chapter 481: No Father, No Mother
Li Chun is really taking Cheng Ziyu to the mountain.
While walking, Li Chun told her little by little about the recent situation in Beijing.
"Zhu Changan, no one thought that he would be able to resurrect himself. Recently, he has been in the limelight, and he is being praised everywhere. The prince was going to get him, but he didn't find a chance. He was protected by Bai Heng's people every day when he went in and out, and he couldn't do it. He should be gone in the next two days. If you don't want him to go to the northwest, you may have to think long-term. ”
"Leave him alone for now, let's see how it goes. Let's live our lives first. ”
"I think so too. Right now, nothing is more important than your marriage to me. Zhu Chang'an, there will be opportunities in the future. ”
Cheng Ziyu smiled sweetly and held his hand tightly.
"By the way, the third day of March of the wedding is your birthday, right?"
Cheng Ziyu realized the helplessness he had when he was preparing for his birthday ceremony.
The more you cherish someone, the more you want to give him good, and in the end, no matter how good things come to you, you feel that they are not good enough. Especially the birthday gift that Li Chun prepared for her last time was so heartfelt, and she was even more worried about what to give him recently.
"That's right. It's my birthday. I don't have any family, so I don't care about my birthday. I had lived a life of desirelessness, and I had questioned my meaning in this world more than once. ”
Li Chunding looked at Cheng Ziyu.
"You know what I mean, it's different with you. I know what I want. Life has meaning and something to protect, so my life has also been regained. Since you and I got married, my new life has also begun. So I set that day. ”
He couldn't help but hug her into his arms, seeing through her previous thoughts at a glance.
"So you don't have to prepare a gift for me, because you are a gift that I am preparing to give myself......" he smiled brightly. How good it is to make a promise by example. ”
Cheng Ziyu was slightly distressed, how lonely he used to be. There is no relatives and no reason, only to deal with wine. She remembered that he had said before that he loved to drink because it brought warmth......
"From now on, everything I have will be yours." Her people, her wealth, her family. "You won't be alone anymore."
"That's what I want."
He saw that she was tired of walking, so he directly carried her.
"Is it heavy?"
"I can afford it."
"In the future, the Cheng family may be heavier."
"You can afford it."
"Well, if you can't carry it, you can also have me, and I will support it underneath."
"You can just lie down under me and have fun, and you don't need anything else." He laughed and began to walk again, leading her to the back of his neck and biting her......
A person who practices martial arts is good, the mountain road is not easy to walk, but he walks with an easy step, and every step is solid and steady. In less than a quarter of an hour, he took her over a hill.
Cheng Ziyu was put down, and in the sun-drenched grass, there were already dots of small wildflowers blooming.
She looked around and saw mountains. The setting is beautiful.
But not far away, in the col, there is a small farmstead.
looked back at Li Chun, but saw him squatting in the grass to pick flowers.
Cheng Ziyu guessed that the flower was probably not for herself, so she helped pick it together.
Li Chun smiled at her and didn't say much.
Soon, the two picked a large bouquet of mountain flowers.
Then he dragged her towards the hidden farm.
Li Chun knocked on the door of the village.
An old man opened the door and saw that it was Li Chun, and his face full of wrinkles suddenly smiled.
"The young master is here. Quick, come in. ”
Master? This title is not a master, not a general, but a young master? This Lao Su is the servant of Li Chun's parents? So here......
Cheng Ziyu immediately confirmed the conjecture.
"This is a young grandmother." Li Chun nodded and looked at Cheng Ziyu again, "This is Guangbo." ”
Lao Suo was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye.
Cheng Ziyu was a little at a loss, and Li Chun went up and picked people up.
"I'll take the young grandmother to the back, you go and prepare."
"Yes, yes......" Lao Suo stepped back excitedly.
Bypassing the house, there is a stone wall.
After Li Chun went up and photographed a few pieces of the wall one by one, a door appeared.
The stone door is movable and can be pushed open.
Further inside, there is a large field of Merlin.
"I'll take you to meet my mother." Li Chun pulled Cheng Ziyu tightly.
Really......
In the depths of Merlin, there is a well-repaired tomb. The surroundings are very nice, there are no weeds. The fruit is fresh in front of the grave, and it is obvious that someone takes care of it every day.
There is a name on the stele, which reads: The Tomb of Rongwan of the Li Family.
Just these six words, nothing else.
Not even the person who erected the monument and the year in which the monument was erected.
It turned out that Li Chun followed her mother's surname. Mother, what is your identity? Why is it so mysterious? ……
Li Chun took the incense from Lao Suo, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.
"Mother, I brought my wife to see you."
Cheng Ziyu also followed the incense and knelt down and kowtowed. Li Chun looked at her gratefully.
"Mother, her name is Cheng Ziyu, she is the person in my heart, the person I cherish, and the person I want to live a lifetime. Rest assured, I am in good health, and I am doing well. It will be better in the future. Your heart's desires have come true. ”
Cheng Ziyu saw that his eyes were a little red, and couldn't help but follow: "Mother, Li Chun will be taken care of by me in the future, and I will try my best to make him happy and healthy in this life. ”
The old man was also excited. wiped his tears on the side, so that his wife could feel at ease. said that the young master is heroic and strong, the young lady is beautiful and capable, made in heaven, he must be blessed, and his descendants will be endless.
Li Chun probably hasn't been here for a while, and he has a lot to say. He knelt down there and told him about the wedding day, and told Cheng Ziyu about the recent situation.
After Cheng Ziyu stood for a while, under the guidance of an old woman, she went to the front room to drink tea.
This Zhuangzi is not small, but there are not many people, and the people who serve them are all old people.
Everyone saw her with a sincere smile on their faces, as if they had been waiting for her for many years. A few old women even called out one by one, and smiled and took out all the good things in the village to greet her......
After sitting for a while, Li Chun came over and held a box in his hand.
"All that my mother left behind has been passed on to you."
What Li Chun handed over was a five-layer rosewood makeup box.
The box is so well preserved that it doesn't look like an old thing at all.
The carving of the box is complicated, and the layers of hollow flowers and auspicious clouds are decorated exquisitely, this box should be extraordinary, and its owner should not be low.
When I opened the box, it was carefully sorted and placed layer by layer. His mother must be a very organized person.
There is a painting in the painting, in which a woman smiles skillfully, and with only a few strokes, the woman's unearthly beauty and charm are depicted.
"It's my mother." His gaze was soft, and he brushed his finger over the painting.
If you look closely at the makeup, it is even more luxurious.
Cheng Ziyu glanced at Li Chun and waited for him to speak.
"Many of these things were given to my mother by my father."
So, what does this mean is that his father's identity is not ordinary?
In Cheng Ziyu's impression, this was the first time Li Chun mentioned his father, but at this moment, in his eyes, there was only coldness.
Li Chun picked up the middle layer of the makeup box and opened a small dark compartment.
There was a jade pendant lying inside.
He handed the jade to Cheng Ziyu.
There is a word on it: Jing.
The answer is imminent.
"This is my father's token of love to my mother."
Li Chun looked at Cheng Ziyu and smiled: "That's right, it's what you think, it's that person, it's my father." ”
In today's saints, there is a Jing character in the name.
"My dad is the one I've always been loyal to, has a weird relationship, uses each other, suspects each other, and helps each other."
Cheng Ziyu noticed that he never wanted to mention the identity of that person. Probably, he didn't want to shout "Dad" in his heart.
She knew that today, he was going to tell her that story.
She couldn't help but take his slightly cool hand.
"My mother's surname is Li, and she is the third lady of the Changle family during the reign of the first emperor. When the emperor is still the third prince, he has the best time with the second prince. When they were teenagers, they often went to Changle Hou's house to play. So my father and mother are childhood sweethearts.
At that time, the second prince smiled and said that he wanted to marry the eldest lady of Changle Houjia and let the third prince marry my mother. The third prince and my mother really had feelings for each other.
Then, even though the relationship between the third prince and the second prince was estranged, he still cared about my mother. It is the second prince who can be friends with Changle Houjia, not him. As a result, the second prince and the Li family got married early, and the second prince really married the eldest lady of the Li family.
In fact, it was already doomed at that time, and the marriage between the third prince and my mother was no longer possible. My mother wanted to cut off contact with him, but he refused. He also took this jade pendant as a token and asked my mother to wait for him.
However, variables come and go. It was also a tragic seizure of the heir, and the crown prince suddenly fell on the eldest prince. The unwilling second prince and the crown prince began to compete. But the second prince was defeated, but he still did the battle of the trapped beast. They summoned the Li family and other families...... Conspiracy. And it didn't work out! ”
Li Chun closed his eyes, and Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath.
"The evidence is overwhelming. The second prince was imprisoned, and the Li family was implicated. While waiting to be convicted, my mother found someone to hand the jade to the third prince and begged him for help. However, this matter is not within the scope of the third prince's ability, and he can't do anything about it. The crime of treason is unforgivable, and the Li family is finished. The masters of the Li family sentenced them to be decided. The only thing the third prince could do was to rescue my mother.
He promised my mother that if the Li family was wronged, he would definitely help take revenge and rehabilitate. At that time, my mother had nowhere to go, nowhere to go. She wanted to die, but she hoped to see the day when the Li family was rehabilitated in her lifetime.
So she had no choice but to follow the three princes and became a canary raised by the three princes. Subsequently, she was secretly placed here by the third prince. The people who served her were also the old men of the Li family back then.
The third prince may really love her. has never told her a fact, that is, the Li family is indeed really rebellious, and it is impossible to rehabilitate. But my mother has been waiting for a dream.
Later, I was born. The third prince also defeated the crown prince and became emperor. He came to report the good news, asked his mother to wait a little longer, waited for him to sort out the situation and the harem, and when he sat down in a secure position, he came to pick up my mother and me into the palace.
But what about entering the palace? To fight? That's not what my mother wanted. She just wants to rehabilitate the Li family. Otherwise, she will never be able to return to her surname, and she will never be able to stand upright in front of the world. Even if she enters the palace, in what capacity does she live?
Once the pressure of many years was put down, the emperor was very excited during that time and often came to my mother. My mother thought that after he became the Son of Heaven, the Li family would soon be rehabilitated, but after waiting and waiting, he was always shirking. Eventually, my mother devised a plan to intoxicate him......"
Li Chun paused.
It turned out that not only did the Li family never have the possibility of rehabilitation, but the emperor also took advantage of the Li family's rebellion to splash dirty water on the prince's party and pull him off the horse. In this way, the Li family is tantamount to two rebellions, which is completely certain. In other words, the emperor stepped on the position that the Li family climbed. Just one point is enough to ensure that it is absolutely impossible for him to rehabilitate the Li family, otherwise, the steps to his position will fall, and he will beat himself in the mouth. ”
Li Chun lowered his eyes.
"How can my mother still stand it? The Li family is all gone, and it is torture to leave her alone. She originally thought that the Li family was framed by the prince's party, and she lived to wait for rehabilitation and revenge, but later, it turned out that everything was a lie. Not only that, but she also gave birth to the old Zhu family's species. Even, her man still stepped on the Li family's troubles and went straight to a high position.
To put it bluntly, the Li family and the Zhu family are enemies of each other. She felt guilty about the Li family, she hated the ugly royal family, and she should also hate the emperor's selfishness, which made her feel remorseful. In this way, love and hatred are all pressed on her as a woman. She simply couldn't live.
Her body collapsed quickly. There is no antidote to such a heart disease. She knew that her time was short, and the only thing she could do was plan for me. She was stuck, but she wanted me to be able to roam the world. ”
"She dressed up for the last time and invited the emperor. Even if there are many opportunities, he is always available. It is both guilt and affection. My mother told her about her love for the third prince, and the person who only said it burst into tears.
He also regretted it, lamenting that the most regrettable thing in this life was that he failed to go to the Li family to ask for marriage before the second prince, so they would not have ended like this. ”
"My mother begged the emperor for grace: she wanted her child not to be surnamed Zhu, she couldn't let her child enter the palace, and she didn't want her child to be caught up in the terrible political maelstrom in the future. She begged the emperor to let her child's surname be Li, even if she couldn't recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, she just wanted to leave the last trace of blood for the Li family! She wants her children to live their lives freely, do whatever they want, and pursue what they want.
She hoped that their affection would allow the man to take care of me to the best of his ability. I have to say, my mother has a lot of ways to deal with him, and she made the man take the initiative to swear an oath......"
"Then my mother went. At the most beautiful age, he died in my father's arms. It left a wound in my father's heart. My mother made my father believe that he had caused her death, gave her hope, and shattered that hope with his own hands, sending her to a dead end......
I remember very clearly, that day, it was raining heavily, and the man hugged my mother and cried all afternoon, at first just crying, and then crying heartbreakingly. It was the only time in my life that I saw him cry. He really can't let go of my mother.
He came to hug me again, touched my head, and told me that although he could not give me an identity, he would do his best to take care of me. So from that day on, I had no mother and no father. ”
