Chapter 147: A Private Meeting in the Book Pavilion
Yu Zhiyan was a little distressed and protected Arnold behind him, and watched the prince slowly walk over with the support of the eunuchs.
"My father was missing for half a month, and when he came back, he was seriously injured." Mo Shu's childish voice was full of coldness, "I'm just afraid that I'll go to Jiangnan to find you." ”
"If there is no evidence, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to consider it before speaking." Yu Zhiyan looked at Mo Shu in front of him, and his heart was as cold as snow on the ground.
"You are the one who is charming and troublesome to the country, and the queen mother is virtuous and generous to tolerate you everywhere, if you look at my mother and the queen mother to tolerate you everywhere, you are wrong in mind." The prince's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he waved his hand slowly.
A bad premonition spread in her heart, and she said coldly: "As the prince of a country, how can he kill people in the middle of the night?" ”
The corners of Mo Shu's lips pursed slightly, and his narrow eyes were full of indifference, "As long as you can clear the side of the monarch, what if you leave a bad reputation?" ”
At this time, the stars scattered in the sky and snowflakes, and in such a quiet night, her own son said that he would kill her.
Arnold was so frightened that he pulled the corner of Yu Zhiyan's skirt, and said with a trembling crying voice, "Ah Niang, Arnold is afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, can you take me away." ”
However, it was too late to leave, and soon several eunuchs behind the prince came over fiercely, holding ropes in their hands, and their faces were very hideous.
Yu Zhiyan knew that he would not escape, and said angrily to the eunuchs who surrounded him: "I see which of you dares." ”
The eunuch who was the leader was frightened by the look on her face, after all, everyone knew how important she was in Feng Huang's mind, and she didn't even have to salute when she saw the saint.
Seeing that these people did not dare to step forward, Yu Zhiyan knew that his threat had worked, so he continued: "You executed me today, but I am afraid that I will not survive." ”
Seeing that these people didn't dare to move, Mo Shu squinted his eyes slightly, "There is something that the palace bears by itself, so don't tie her up quickly." ”
"The crown prince killed people at will at a young age, and if you don't restrain him but indulge him like this, how will the emperor spare you." Yu Zhiyan said coldly: "Don't get out of the way yet." ”
The prince's eyebrows were tightly pressed together, and there was no blood on his jade-like cheeks, and he whispered a word to the guards beside him.
Although Yu Zhiyan didn't hear what it was, she subconsciously dragged Arnold to her eyes and reached out to cover her eyes.
Sure enough, the guards who brought it walked up to this group of eunuchs, pulled out the saber on his waist with a "brush", and cut off the head of the eunuch who was furthest away from Yu Zhiyan without hesitation.
Bright red blood splashed on Yu Zhiyan's dress, and it seemed that he would not escape death today.
"If anyone disobeys this prince, this will be the end, don't do it quickly." Moshu's voice was cold and resolute in his age.
The six-year-old prince of the East Palace had such a bearing, and everyone was stunned, and they didn't dare to be sloppy, so they came up and tied up Yu Zheyan Wuhuada.
Yu Zhiyan was wearing a thick cotton skirt, but it hurt when she was strangled by the rope, and her thin body was about to fall apart.
Arnold had also been pulled again, so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, and his frightened eyes looked at the bound Yu Zhiyan.
Mo Shu slowly walked in front of Yu Zhiyan, stared directly at Yu Zhiyan who was kneeling on the ground, and the cold snowflakes fell on his ink-like hair crown, "Strangle her." ”
Those minions naturally didn't dare to disobey his words anymore, took the white silk that had been prepared for a long time, and slowly walked towards Yu Zhiyan.
Arnold, who was already frightened, howled and cried, turned his head and bit the hands of the eunuch who was dragging her two small arms, the eunuch was in pain, and when he saw that Yu Zhiyan was now dying, he reached out and slapped Arnold's face.
Arnold has been pampered since she was a child, except for Yu Zhenyan's reprimand and punishment a few times, who dares to stretch out her claws with her.
This firm slap landed on Arnold's little face, and his snow-white face suddenly became red and swollen.
And the white silk was about to strangle her neck, and the desire to survive blurted out what she had buried in the deepest part of her heart, "Anyone in this world can kill me, but you can't." ”
A hint of doubt flashed in Moshu's eyes, "What are these words?" ”
The cold white silk was already tied to her neck, and as long as she pulled hard, she would instantly lose her fragrance.
"Do you know why you call Moshu by the name?" The wind and snow blew into her eyes, and the tears condensed under her eyes were condensed, "That was when I gave birth to you, breaking with your father, and I had a different path." ”
The guards around her were all stunned when they heard this, and they didn't dare to carry out the execution.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I am the son of the queen mother." The prince's face was full of astonishment, and the cloak on his body was also lifted by the cold wind, "The queen mother was here."
The Nan'an Mansion gave birth to me. ”
"Then you only have a side room for your father." Yu Zhiyan recalled that when she gave birth to him in Nan'an Wangfu that day, she had a difficult birth, and the pain and despair were still vivid.
"It's Yu Zhiyan who has remarried." The prince suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that you are her?" ”
At the beginning, the people in the old palace knew Yu Zhiyan, but when the palace changed, those palace maids fled, and the new people in the palace didn't know her at all, they only thought that she was raised by the emperor outside, a woman with no name, and even Arnold was suspected of being an illegitimate daughter.
"It's me." Yu Zhiyan looked at his own son, "How can the noble prince be born of a woman who has remarried, and your father is only doing this to protect your prince's respect." ”
Mo Shu's face turned pale inch by inch, and his lips, which looked like Feng Huang, moved slightly, and it took a while to force out a sentence, "It's not like this, you are talking nonsense-"
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and the shrill voice of the guards came, "The emperor has arrived." ”
Everyone knelt down in a hurry, and the eunuch who dragged Arnold could only let Arnold go because he wanted to salute. The frightened Arnold suddenly rushed into Yu Zhiyan's side, his thin body trembling constantly.
But seeing a person sitting on the royal bowl, before he walked here, the bright yellow curtain had been opened, and Feng Huang's eyes with urgency fell on Yu Zhiyan, and he was deeply relieved to see that she and Arnold were safe and sound.
Soon fell into the sedan chair, and before Liu Xuanwu came up to help, Feng Huang came out of it.
Feng Huang's face was whiter than the remnants of snow on the ground, and his originally tall body looked a little weak, and he was a little unsteady even when he walked. Presumably he was injured
It was very heavy, and it came from the sickbed.
It turned out that Liu Xuanwu was a very careful person, when he returned to the palace to resume his life, he passed through the East Palace, and found that there were no guards guarding the door, so he hurriedly asked the palace maid in the house, and then he knew that the prince actually led people away.
As soon as he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yu Zhiyan were so stiff, he was afraid that he was going to find trouble with Yu Zhiyan, so he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly returned to the palace to tell Feng Huang about the matter.
Feng Huang was recuperating from his injuries in the dormitory, and when he heard that this was angry, he got up from the sickbed and only led people over, but when he saw Yu Zhiyan who was being bound, Long Yan was furious.
He didn't look at the prince who was kneeling on the ground, and walked straight to Yu Zhiyan's side and untied the rope that bound her tightly.
The smoky green Luo skirt was covered with mud and dirt, and she was extremely embarrassed, and Feng Huang only felt angry in her eyes.
Mo Shu is only afraid that he is the only son in his life, he personally taught, but he didn't expect the child who grew up under his nose to be so ruthless.
When the crown prince saw that his father was coming, his black eyes were still incredulous, and he seemed to ask for verification, "My father once told his sons who came out. ”
"You're killing your mother here, I hope there isn't a rebel like you." Feng Huangqi's tone has changed.
This sentence almost affirmed the prince's biological mother, Mo Shu's face was pale, and the whole person was as shocked as wood.
And at this moment, there was a flurry of panicked footsteps, but it was the queen mother who rushed to hear the news.
She was still wearing the same shirt she had worn in the dormitory, flying thin in the wind. Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground
, and even more pale.
"The prince is young, and his concubines are not well taught, so please spare him." The queen knew that Mo Shu had made a big mistake, but she also knew that this child was just trying to fight for herself.
Feng Huang was already angry, and he was even more annoyed when he saw the queen, "The queen admits her mistake quickly, you are used to seeing the prince so delicate." ”
"It has nothing to do with the queen mother, it's all the sons and daughters who make their own decisions, and you only have to punish the sons and sons." Mo Shu stubbornly raised his face.
Feng Huang laughed angrily, "You are really filial, if you treat your biological mother with half filial piety in the future, I will spare your life today." ”
"Erchen has only one mother, if you want Erchen to call someone else's mother again, Erchen is willing to cut the meat and return it to her." Mo Shu glared at Yu Zhiyan fiercely.
Lin Caohua saw that Mo Shu knew his biological mother, but when he heard him say such words, his heart became more and more moved.
The prince was brought up by her own hands, only she knows this naturally withdrawn and strong child best, Mo Shu is too bitter, and he is almost harshly raised by Feng Huang.
And this child often saw how his father regarded Arnold as a treasure, that is, he was only six years old when he was exported, full of wealth, but he never received half of the pity.
Hearing this, Feng Huang angrily covered the injury on his shoulder, and shook his whole person back.
Liu Xuanwu beside him hurriedly held him up, and then said: "Your Majesty, you can dissipate your anger, your body will be better, and you must take care of your dragon body." ”
After standing firmly, Feng Huang did not lose his anger, reached out and pulled out the sword in the hand of the imperial guard, and walked in front of Moshu, "Okay, I don't bother you to move."
Hand, I personally cut off your head. ”
Feng Huang is a well-known benevolent and righteous king, and he was also a gentle and elegant person in the past, but he didn't expect to kill the prince in public today, and everyone was already frightened.
The queen ran in front of Feng Huang all of a sudden, knelt on the ground, and hugged Feng Huang's legs tightly with her thin arms, embarrassed and almost without the dignity of a country.
"Your Majesty can't." She pleaded, "For the sake of the concubine's thin face, you will spare him." ”
"Spare him today, this rebel is only afraid that he will kill the king tomorrow." Feng Huang kicked the queen away with a kick, "Get out of the way of me." ”
Yu Zhiyan was still watching all this blankly, and the emperor's anger made even her extremely afraid. When she was watching Feng Huang pass with a sword on her face full of trepidation, she subconsciously shouted, "Don't." ”
After all, Mo Shu was only six years old, and when he saw his father kill him without hesitation, he was already so frightened that his face turned pale.
And the person who saved his life was actually his so-called biological mother.
Yu Zhiyan's call pulled Feng Huang's reason back, and the sword in his hand slowly fell to the ground, and he said a little dejectedly, "That's it, that's it, but Fan Zhen and other princes don't have to keep you anymore." ”
Feng Huang held on to the vermilion palace wall with his hand and looked at the person kneeling on the ground, "The prince has a bad character, and he has been reflecting in the East Palace for three months, and no one is allowed to look at him without my will." ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the guards and eunuchs brought by the prince, "All the eunuchs in the East Palace have been sent to Yongxiang, and all their tongues have been cut off. ”
Everyone knelt on the ground in panic, only Yu Zhiyan and Arnold stood in the cold wind, and the cold snow dumplings fell on her cold face, stinging like the tip of a needle.
Soon someone pulled the shivering eunuchs away, and Moshu was gone.
Yu Zhiyan looked at his small, lonely figure, disappearing into the red wall and white snow, it was so lonely.
She couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes, she had never treated this child well, maybe when she was in Nan'an Palace, she threw the newborn child on the ground, and she was destined to love their mother and son.
Feng Huang slowly walked to Yu Zhiyan's side, and said lightly, his voice was full of exhaustion, "I asked someone to send you out of the palace." ”
He reached out to hold Arnold in his arms as usual, but the frightened Arnold took half a step back.
Feng Huang's face turned pale, and then he sighed helplessly.
Yu Zhiyan nodded slightly, and was about to turn around to leave, when he heard a delicate voice coming, in this cold and biting night, like a gentle wind.
"The concubines see the emperor." Concubine Xian Mu Yan'er walked slowly, but saw her wearing a light green gauze skirt, a rose-red brocade jacket, snow-white rabbit fluff sewn on the corners, and an orange-red ribbon around her waist with a few round pearls inlaid in the middle.
The three watches were still dressed in such a fancy way in the middle of the night, presumably after some dressing up, thinking that she came late, and I didn't see the excitement.
Concubine Xian glanced at the queen standing on the side, where was the embarrassment and the demeanor of the mother of a country, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Why are you here?" Feng Huang looked at her and said casually: "Get up." ”
Concubine Xian got up gracefully, but when her gaze fell on Yu Zhiyan's face, it immediately changed.
It turned out that Yu Zhiyan entered the palace in a hurry today and did not wear a veil as before, but now she saw Yu Zhiyan's whole face, and couldn't help but be surprised.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and found that her face was very similar to Yu Zhiyan's, even if she was dressed gorgeously, she still lost a few points.
She thought that Yu Zhiyan's appearance was ugly, and she was ashamed to see a person veiled, but she didn't think that she was a beauty.
Yu Zhiyan didn't pay attention to this hot gaze, only hugged Arnold in his arms, and slowly turned around and left.
Through the snowflakes, Yu Zhiyan heard the woman's coquettish voice after a long time, "The concubine will accompany you back to the palace, you haven't seen the concubine for a long time, and the concubine misses you very much." ”
Arnold's delicate arms tightly wrapped around Yu Zhiyan's neck, and said in a childish voice, "A-Niang, Arnold doesn't like the palace anymore, it's so scary here." ”
Hearing the trembling in her daughter's voice, Yu Zhiyan knew that she was frightened, and hurriedly said softly: "Why didn't you let your uncle hug him just now, don't you like him the most?" ”
"Uncle is different today," Arnold's butterfly-like eyelashes blinked, "Uncle is the kindest man in the world, why would he cut out the tongues of those people." ”
"The uncle who loves Arnold will not kill, but the emperor who is high above will kill." Yu Zhiyan hugged his daughter tightly.
Yu Zhiyan went out of the palace and returned to his small courtyard, but saw the maid Chuxiu waiting outside the door, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly asked her to bring the freshly boiled eggs over.
Tiano applied a red and swollen face that had been beaten.
Sure enough, the most insidious thing is those rootless things, such a small child can also do such a poisonous thing.
Arnold's eyes were wide open, and every time Yu Zhiyan rolled an egg into her face, she giggled, as if she had long forgotten the turmoil just now.
Yu Zhiyan even envied her heartless appearance.
I don't know what I thought, Arnold said with a smug face, "Auntie, look at me if I'm well-behaved, Arnold didn't tell others about his father." ”
Yu Zhiyan looked nervously into the house, and saw that Xiu was not in the house, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "This is Arnold's secret, don't tell anyone else in the future." ”
Arnold nodded obediently, and then puffed out his mouth and said: "Then what should Arnold do if he thinks about his father, Arnold hasn't seen his father for a long time." ”
Yu Zhiyan reached out and touched Arnold's face, "Arnold has grown up, it's time to read and write, A-Niang will take you to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone tomorrow, okay?" ”
Yu Zhiyan deeply remembered what Gu Jue said to him in his cousin's mansion, the Zhegui Shutang in the capital was a dark line, Gu Jue would follow her into Beijing, and he would wait for her there.
*******
Sure enough, on the second day, Yu Zhiyan was going to take Arnold to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and cloth and other things.
Over the years, there have been countless things rewarded by the phoenix, almost everything, but they have all been put on the shelf, they are all rare treasures, Arnold will inevitably have bumps and bumps, if it is broken, it is really a waste.
When Xiu heard that Yu Zhiyan was going to buy something, he naturally wanted to follow, and he also took the two little guys in the mansion.
Yu Zhiyan knew that this Xiu was just Feng Huang's eyeliner, and she had to report her own affairs to the one in the palace, and she must not let her know about the meeting with Gu Jue, or find out.
And the two guards who followed were also skilled kung fu people, and this arrangement was just to guard against Yu Zhiyan as a thief.
