Chapter 461: Mother's Heart
Concubine Yuan Defei walked back to the soft collapse, and Mu Junwu also walked out from behind the tent where he was hiding.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
After a few breaths, Concubine Yuan Defei rubbed her fingers and said, "Over the years, I have raised you under the Chen family's knees, and I seem to be jealous and wary of you, but I have actually been silently loving you. ”
"A person who gives away his own parents and children also deserves to be loved?"
"You know my real name and identity, you should know what my background is, right?"
Mu Junwu looked at her and didn't speak, Concubine Yuan raised her head: "I am an orphan, a child who was picked up and raised by my grandmother from the pile of dead, my life was given by her, Tangmen is my home, I am willing to serve her and Tangmen all my life!" ”
Mu Junwu clenched his fists when he heard this: "Does your allegiance include uniting with a loveless person and then giving away the child you born?" ”
"That's right! That's what I think, and that's what I do! But! Yuan Defei's tears poured out in an instant: "I didn't expect that when I was pregnant for ten months, when the child cried for the first time on the ground, I regretted it, but I have no way out, no choice, I have to repay the favor!" ”
"Repay the favor?" Mu Junwu stared at her: "In order to repay your kindness, you gave up your child?" Not to mention how ridiculous it is, let me ask you how cruel your heart is! Are you worthy to be a mother? ”
"Scold!" Concubine Yuan De's tears rained down: "You scold hard, it's my fault, but it's not that I don't care about your brother's safety, I'm just afraid that he will be wronged, so I will be coerced by Meng Zhixiang again and again!" ”
"Coercion? What did he coerce you? ”
"What else could it be? That is, I will poison your father first, and then poison my eldest son Xizhen, and then turn the entire Chu State into a ...... controlled by the Meng family."
"You!" Mu Junwu raised his eyebrows: "You killed my father?" ”
"No!" Concubine Yuan shook her head: "I can't do it!" I fell in love with your father, he was too good to me, too good to the people, I couldn't do anything, not only did I not kill him, I also tried my best to protect him, I detoxified when they poisoned him, and when they came to assassinate me, I poisoned them all, in short, I protected your father until the day he died......"
"You said he coerced you."
"Yes, coercion, Meng Zhixiang forced me with your brother's life, but his son was also in my hands, so I bargained with him and finally reached an agreement, as long as they don't mess around anymore and let your father die right, I will definitely let his son become the king of the succeeding Chu State."
Mu Junwu's eyes rolled: "That big brother is a monk ......"
Concubine Yuan closed her eyes: "I did it." It's better to give up and leave in despair than to die, and as for you, letting you hide in the Tang Gate is also a way I came up with. ”
……
It was late at night, and Peng Yu was guarding a table of dishes in the Peng Mansion Flower Hall, and his face was no longer as excited as before.
"Sir." When the housekeeper entered, Peng Yu immediately got up: "Coming?" ”
The butler shook his head.
Peng Yu sat down disappointed: "Go outside and continue to stare at." ”
The housekeeper should have gone out to guard, but Peng Ji had a gloomy face, his heart was very uneasy, and there was a bad premonition like a dark cloud enveloping him.
……
"You are too popular, so that Meng Zhixiang is like a great enemy, and he has already set up a situation to get rid of you, lest his son not be able to sit on the throne." Concubine Yuan Defei said and sighed: "Since the situation is unfavorable, it is better to retreat as advance, after you leave, or fake your death, they will be busy occupying Chu and have no time to take care of you, and you will naturally be safe......"
"Enough! I don't want to hear you talk about this, I ask you...... How did my mother die? ”
The two words of the mother concubine made Yuan Defei's eyes flash with pain: "Chen's death was done by Meng Zhixiang, he wanted to lure you out, I was afraid that you would be fooled, so I had to go to condolence in person, because I knew that you must have doubts about acting abnormally, so you would not show up, but fortunately you did not appear." ”
"Sounds like you're really thinking about me."
"Of course I'm thinking about you! Otherwise, why would I keep him in ruins? Why did you get rid of Zhao Jichang first, and then get rid of King Yan of Cheng? ”
"Stop being pretentious!" Mu Junwu sneered: "I don't believe you did it. ”
"Whatever you want! Anyway, in order for you to take the throne under the will of the people, I have used his hand to help you remove all obstacles, and also make him bear the notoriety and lose his mind. Concubine Yuan said and shook the cloth in her hand:
"Even it's what I let you get! Because rumors are not enough, you must also have a certificate to win the trust of the world! And with it, you can crusade against this fake son, and then logically ascend to the throne. ”
"What?" Mu Junwu looked at Concubine Yuan Defei in disbelief: "The bones are also what you asked me to ......"
"Do you remember Zhao Fuchun?"
Mu Junwu was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"He used to be your father's right-hand man, but his clan was controlled by Meng Zhixiang, forcing him to poison your father, he had to do it for the life of his clan, and he was naturally exposed if I saved your father."
"So he was imprisoned by his father?"
"That was later, when I let him go and helped him cover up the past, he was grateful to me but suffered from the threat to the lives of his relatives, and when I discussed countermeasures with him, his relatives were killed by Meng Zhixiang. For revenge, he acted with me, seemed to be against me, was persecuted and imprisoned by me, and was demoted to a rough man, but in fact, he hid in the shadows and silently helped me. ”
"So you did all the things you just said?"
Concubine Yuan Defei smiled, laughing with tears in her eyes: "That's right! I'm your mother, even if I didn't raise you under my knees, I would plan for you! Over the years, I have cultivated power, captured people's hearts, and laid layer after layer of nets, in order to let you return one day! ”
"But......" Mu Junwu had doubts in his eyes: "As soon as the text comes out, you will be ruined with him, and you will never ......recover."
"Son! I owe you, and I will pay you back! I can't give you mother's love, then I'll give you the kingship you deserve! As for death, I'm not afraid! Since your father is gone, I have lived for you. ”
Concubine Yuan Defei said and stretched out her arms and walked towards Mu Junwu to hug him, but Mu Junwu took a step back, which made Concubine Yuan Defei pause and look sad.
"You speak very beautifully, but it's a pity that ......" Mu Junwu's expression was cold: "I don't believe it." ”
Concubine Yuan Defei raised her arms in embarrassment when she heard this, and then hung down, painful and helpless: "Believe it or not, I have said everything that should be said, since you know these things, you can go!" ”
"Let's go?"
"That's right, go back and write a letter to crusade against me and him, when you support the army and shout, I will kill myself with him to return you to the throne of Chu." After Concubine Yuan finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine, standing silently.
Mu Junwu stared at Concubine Yuan De's back, his emotions changed several times, and finally he sighed: "I came, I just don't want to crusade, I don't want to have civil strife in Chu." ”
Concubine Yuan De looked back at Mu Junwu in shock when she heard this: "How can you return and get back the throne if you don't crusade?" ”
Mu Junwu looked at Ma Xisheng: "Isn't my father's edict clearly written?" ”
