136. The Past Is Uncovered (2)
"Why does the person I saved at the beginning seem to be such a scumbag at the moment?"
"Why do you think I can find out the truth about my mother's death and get the heart of a person, only to find out that everything is just a hoax?"
"I thought it was just my father who was using me, but I didn't expect that even my beloved was using me. What did I have as Xia Tianqing? ”
"I haven't found out the truth about my mother's death, and now I'm reborn in the accomplice who killed me, how can I face it?"
A series of questions and thoughts made Luo Ge unable to bear it in the end, and sat on the spot and cried.
Luo Ge didn't know how long she had been crying, and she didn't stop her tears until an old man's voice sounded above her head.
The old man said, "Where did the girl come from?" Why are you crying so sadly? ”
Luo Ge looked up when she heard the sound, and a familiar figure stood in front of her - Su Ling's nurse - Mama Wan. Luo Ge saw that it was her, and immediately stood up and hugged her tightly, and said, "Mama Wan, I miss you so much." ”
Facing the strange girl in front of her, Mama Wan was stunned, but she didn't say much when she saw her crying so sadly, just patted her on the back and comforted her softly.
This Mama Wan really needs to talk about it. Because in this deceitful palace, Su Ling is most concerned about her, and all the palace maids and eunuchs are most afraid of her. It's not at all because of her qualifications in the palace and that she is the emperor's nurse. Speaking of personality, she is an amiable old man, who never argues with others and does not quarrel with others. Even the Queen Mother, who has always been short-tempered, will talk to her softly and softly after seeing her.
Mama Wan is an extremely gentle person, she was over thirty and three years old when she became Su Ling's nurse. She was originally a female official beside Su Xuan, in charge of the entire knitting workshop, but due to her age, she found that her handiwork was not as good as before, so she took the initiative to apply to become Su Ling's nurse at the age of thirty and three. Her husband was a small general in the forbidden army, her son was a famous teacher in Kyoto - Deng Changqing, and her daughter was the owner of the best show in Kyoto - Wanxiulou. Their family's personalities are notoriously kind, so as long as they know his family, they will not be enemies of their family, so Su Ling is also well-behaved and filial in front of her.
As for Xia Tingqing and Mama Wan's acquaintance, it was half a year after Xia Tingqing just joined the palace, that was the first time she found out that Su Ling had a hidden disease, that day Su Ling looked at her with red eyes and wanted to tear her apart, which really scared her, fortunately, she was not alone when Su Ling was ill that day, and there was a Mama Wan by her side, so she saved her life that day, and at the same time began to care about Su Ling, after all, she had only seen his illness in medical books. As a doctor, such incurable diseases are close by her side, which is an excellent opportunity for her to improve her medical skills. Therefore, she didn't mind Su Ling's illness too much, but she was interested in this grandmother who was desperately trying to protect herself.
Since that day, Xia Tianqing will take half an hour every day to go to the small building where Mama Wan lives to talk to her. If you have the opportunity, you will help her embroider things, or clean the house, and the way the two of them get along is not like the master and servant in the palace at all, but like the two grandchildren, so the most trusted person in the harem of the entire Su Qianguo is Mama Wan.
So when Mama Wan appeared in front of her, Luo Ge couldn't hold it anymore, she hugged Mama Wan tightly, as if she was holding the last life-saving straw in her life.
Mama Wan felt the strength from her body, and listened to the whispers of the person in her arms, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She blurted out a name: "Xia Tianqing." When the name came out, she was also frightened. Not to mention Luo Ge in her arms.
Luo Ge raised his tear-stained face, looked at Mama Wan seriously, and opened her mouth slightly. But she knew that no one would believe what she admitted at this moment. So she didn't speak, just looked at Mama Wan in a daze, but she agreed frantically many times in her heart.
Mama Wan looked at her raised head, and then realized that she had recognized the wrong person. She immediately said: "I'm sorry, I don't know which palace this lady is?" The old slave has not walked around the palace for a long time, so he has never seen it, so please don't punish the mother. She knelt down to apologize as she spoke.
But Luo Ge is such a scheming person. When she saw Mama Wan's movements, she immediately helped her up. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and then said with a smile: "This grandmother is too worried. I'm not a lady in Su Qianguo's palace, I'm just an ordinary subordinate. So there is no such thing as punishment. ”
Mama Wan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him, who looked different, was actually not a concubine in the palace, but an ordinary subordinate.
Looking at her stunned expression, Luo Ge smiled slightly, and continued: "I don't know where this grandmother saw that I looked like a lady in this palace." I am not wearing bright and bright clothes, nor do I have a rich headdress on my head, so why do I think I am a member of this palace? ”
Mama Wan has never been the kind of person who likes to flatter, so she naturally told the truth.
The old slave saw that the girl had an extraordinary temperament, and she was different from other slaves in the palace when she raised her hand, so he directly thought that only the nobles in the palace would have such a temperament. But I never thought that the girl was just ......"
Before Mama Wan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Luo Ge.
"Actually, I'm not a person in this palace, I'm a person in the Thousand Machines Pavilion."
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Mama Wan naturally took a step back.
"Mama, don't be afraid." Luo Ge raised her hand to signal that she didn't have to step back, "I know that the feeling of the Thousand Machines Pavilion has always been terrifying, and you don't dare to approach the door of the Thousand Machines Pavilion. In fact, we are also human beings, and we are also living beings with two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two ears, two hands, and two feet, and we also have our own temperament and character. Without tasks, we can also be like everyone else. We're not any demons. ”
When Luo Ge said this, Mama Wan cautiously took a step closer to her, then took another step closer, and reached out to touch her hand.
Luo Ge smiled and grabbed her hand with his backhand. Mama Wan retreated in fear, but because Luo Ge held her hand, she did not succeed.
Luo Ge held the hand she stretched out with both hands at the same time, and then used the temperature of her body to prove that she was a living person.
"You see my palms are hot, you can feel them. And I didn't kill you right away when I saw you, and the tears I just shed are real, and you saw it. Don't believe it, look at the wet placket on your chest. ”
Mama Wan looked down at the dark red and said, "I believe in the girl." ”
Looking at the certainty in her eyes, Luo Ge let go of her hand, and then said, "Mama, why are you here?" What is this place? ”
"Girl, this is Qingyuan Palace."
"Qingyuan Palace?" Luo Ge looked for its location from memory, "When did there become a Qingyuan Palace?" Besides, I remember that Mama was supposed to serve in the emperor's Qianyuan Palace. Later, I went to the Queen Mother's Yikun Palace, how did I come to this unknown Qingyuan Palace? ”
Mama Wan was slightly shocked that she knew where she lived in the past, but when she thought about it and Su Ling before, Su Ling said that the people in Qianji Pavilion knew everything about the palace, so she didn't ask more, but said directly: "Everything is because of the queen's serious illness, since she was sick, the old slave was arranged by the emperor to come to this Qingyuan Palace, responsible for disturbing the Buddha statues in this palace, saying that I should always accompany the green lantern and enjoy my old age in peace." ”
Luo Ge was shocked and asked, "Mama, do you believe such a lie?" ”
"Where do you know that he is a liar? The mother is seriously ill, I saw it with my own eyes! Why did you become a liar when you said it? Mama Wan was not convinced, and Luo Ge said this.
"Because I know. The queen mother has passed away, she is not seriously ill at all, but was killed by the emperor himself. ”
Luo Ge leisurely told about Xia Tianqing's death, but he didn't expect the news to stimulate Mama Wan. She looked at Luo Ge in shock.
"The old slave didn't believe it. Isn't Niangniang lying in the palace all the time? The emperor also asked me to visit her once a month. Every time she went to visit him, she talked to the old slave, how did you become a corpse when you came here? Mama Wan kept shaking her head in denial.
"If you don't believe me, I'll teach you a way to prove that what I'm saying is true. When you take a chance to visit her in the palace, see if there is a phoenix birthmark on the butterfly bone on her left back? If there is, then she is the real queen mother, if not, then what I say is true. ”
"How do you know that Niangniang has a phoenix birthmark." Mama Wan was shocked!
"You don't need to know this, you just need to find a day to see if the queen who is lying in the Kunning Palace is the queen."
"Do you really know that the Empress is in Kunning Palace?"
Xia Tianqing's matter in Kunning Palace was something that no one else could know except for a few people close to him. Even Su Ling only let Mama Wan know that she was in Kunning Palace half a year after Xia Tianqing's illness.
How could Luo Ge not know? That's where she was imprisoned for a whole year when she was Xia Tianqing. Of course, she didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Some things are not as simple as Mama thinks, and some things are not as simple as it appears, so Mama just remember to make sure that there is no phoenix birthmark on her butterfly bone when she goes to see Niangniang next time." ”
In fact, Luo Ge didn't need to tell Mama Wan all this, but she couldn't bear to see Mama Wan being deceived, and she couldn't bear to see her distressed elders kept in the dark. So she pointed out what she knew and could tell.
