Xia Xia said: "Sister Fei hasn't eaten for a long time, and I can't drink my medicine until after a meal after frying it in the furnace, so you better go eat something." ”

"But—" But I wanted to go and see Yan Cuo.

"I'll take care of it, Sister Song said that these two days are very important, Sister Fei should not make trouble on the side - can Master Huang take Sister Fei with him? I'm worried that she's walking around alone and not at ease. "Xia Xia obviously wants to break me away, and doesn't want me to interfere with Yan Cuo's injury care.

Why do you want to break me up? Can't I take care of Yan Wrong? Or am I really too clumsy for Xia Xia to worry about?

I didn't squeak again, and Master Huang said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go with the girl." ”

Master Huang still hadn't finished talking to me, I nodded, and when I turned around to walk with him, I turned my head to look at Xia Xia, she didn't send me off with a smile like usual, but hurried to the water room with her head down.

At critical moments, I always can't be useful, and I always have to break Xia Xiacao's heart.

The sun is shining in the alley, there is no temperature, and my heart is like this cold winter, even if there is sunshine, it is difficult to be cheerful.

The wind was blowing like there were a thousand needles hidden in it, and I hurriedly closed my hat.

And Master Huang walked with his hands behind his back, like a letter garden, looking up at the sky on the crooked alley.

My heart ached, I don't know how many times my father and I walked this lane, he was never willing to let me walk a few more steps, always let me sit on his shoulder, so that I could see far away, I would happily stretch my arms upward, calling for my father to come and see, to see that my hand could reach beyond the alley wall.

I always hope that one day, I can stand next to my father so not so short, hold his arm and be happy with him, I can run around with him in a healthy and lively way, I can go to the fire tree to pick up a full skirt of fire leaves, I can make him a pair of well-fitting and intimate cotton shoes......

Dad, why are you so nice to me? It is so good that I am about to fall into sweet memories, lest I forget the slightest trace of your kindness to me, and I have no reason to prevent such thoughts of you, as if you had stripped me of my wings so that I might always be by your side, but you left me suddenly, leaving me powerless to fly......

I closed my eyes, afraid of tears.

Master Huang suddenly let go of the hand that was folded on his back, took something out of his arms, and handed it to me.

I was startled, and looked at the yellow brocade cloth he handed me—

"For you." Master Huang said.

I took the brocade cloth, long, narrow, and slightly deep.

"Give it to me? Why? "I'm baffled.

"This dagger was originally owned by Lantian, and I have always kept it by my side, but now I think it is the most appropriate gift to you."

I hurriedly handed back the brocade cloth that had not yet been opened, and said, "Mrs. Huang's relics are too precious for me to accept—"

Master Huang gently pushed it back, and said as he walked: "To be exact, this dagger is a gift from your father to Lantian, she cherished it very much when she was alive and always carried it with her." Instead of keeping to see things and think about people, I should fulfill one of her wishes and give this beloved thing to her niece who has never had time to meet. ”

"Niece?" I asked sneeringly.

Master Huang frowned and said, "Didn't anyone tell you?" Your mother and my deceased wife Lantian are siblings with the same surname, so you are naturally our niece, and you are also a cousin. ”

I didn't react, I just felt that my eyes were filled with the knife wind of the alley.

There are many things, I haven't thought about it, and I don't dare to think about it, since I learned from Meng Wu that my mother was the first beauty in the imperial capital, the identity of my father and mother began to make me dare not guess, I haven't digested what Zhu Jing told me in the morning.

Lantian is a holy sister, that is, the sister of the saint today, and my mother and her are siblings - that is, my mother is also a holy sister? …… Right...... In the morning, Xiang Zhou seemed to have mentioned the holy sister, saying that after my father gave up the Yan clan, the emperor was doing the death of the holy sister......

My mother's name is Zhao Nuanyu, and Mrs. Huang's name is Zhao Lantian, and they are both surnamed Zhao...... Today's saint is also surnamed Zhao......

I felt top-heavy, and the dagger in my hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds......

"When I was with Lantian for a few years, she rarely talked about the past. But I know that she once had a sister with a good relationship, known as the imperial capital butterfly, named Zhao Nuanyu - it is your mother. ”

I looked at him with an empty head and stiffened, was I dreaming? My mother is a princess? ……

"The first emperor loved Li Yishan's poems very much, and the names of many of his daughters were taken from Li Yishan's poems, and the names of Lantian and Nuan Yu were taken from his poem "Jin Se", which was the first emperor's favorite poem, so the three princesses he loved were named this poem."

I still have a little impression of this poem, it turns out that not only the names of my mother and Lantian are taken from the poems, but also the names of other people.

"Three?"

Master Huang pressed his eyebrows, as if he didn't want to mention the other princess, and said, "It's already the deceased, so there's no need to mention it." ”

I nodded cautiously, but I felt strange, the three princesses with the same name of the poem, two of them had died, and my mother was left, and I didn't know how to describe it, in short, it was not healthy and stable, this poem seemed to be unlucky.

"Can you tell me more about them?" I longed for it, I knew very little about my father and mother before they came, and no one would tell me that.

Master Huang glanced at me, with this pity, and said, "I don't know much, and I won't hide what I just say." Lantian and your mother, as well as today's saint, have the same mother, the emperor's family, flesh and blood family affection is very luxurious, especially their biological mother died early, they have been very united and helpful since childhood, so they can survive in the deceitful palace, and the relationship is naturally very good. But I've only heard about these things occasionally, and I haven't seen them with my own eyes. ”

My hand holding the brocade cloth was numb, but the curiosity I was full of made me forget the pain of the ice, and then I asked a very stupid question: "Why haven't you seen it?" ”

"When I entered the court, it was already Kunyuan's decision-"

"Oh, I almost forgot ......" When Master Huang entered the court, I was already born, and my father and my mother had already settled here, so how could he have seen my mother?

"Princess Nuanyu died in the third year of Kunyuan, and she had been 'dead' for five years when I entered the court." Master Huang patiently explained, I was afraid that he would think I was stupid, because he had always disliked Dabao so much.

"Dead?" How did it become dead again? I asked the question bluntly.

I only know that she got a strange illness and died violently overnight, and the world doesn't know how she died, and many people who have seen her appearance sigh deeply, and no one dares to call the first beauty in the imperial capital since then. The Holy One held a grand funeral for her, and that day I flew into the sky full of snow-white butterflies, and some people said that the Holy One shed tears at the butterflies in the sky. ”

It seems that the saint is not thin on my mother, and the person who protects my mother in my father's letter should be him, and only he can invite my father to protect my mother, but what is the relationship between my father and him? At that time, he should still be a powerful prince, as the patriarch of the Yan clan, there is no need for his father to obey him?

Xiang Zhou said that the death of the holy sister was just a trick, and the funeral was just a trick to deceive the world.

Since then, Lantian has been depressed, no longer smiling, I heard that she used to be a very noisy tomboy, often daydreaming of the end of the sword world, but overnight, she seemed to be a different person. The saint has lost a sister, and she is more and more concerned about the remaining biological sister, and she is obedient, but she is only cold and indifferent, and she seems to have lost her heart for a long time. ”

Master Huang suddenly lowered his voice and said: "In the years of the Kunyuan coup, many things were forbidden to the population. Lantian didn't say it, I didn't ask, I just knew that she hated her dead sister very much, and she hated this person who looked very similar to me. ”

I looked at Master Huang sympathetically, he had attracted marriage and hatred because of this face.

"Why does she hate my mother?" How do I feel like I've been inexplicably hated?

Later, she was drunk and dreamed and told many of the knots in her heart. She was extremely close to your mother and today's saints, the Kunyuan coup, the rebellion, the eldest daughter is in power, she is a decisive person in life and death, and she can determine the life and death of several people in the blink of an eye. ”

"Who is the eldest daughter?" I seem to have heard this name mentioned more than once, and my father's letter also mentioned that this person once held the power of the court and the central government, and almost turned the rain and clouds, so why did the current saint take power later? While Master Huang is still a little patient, I have to ask quickly.

But—

Master Huang quickly lowered his eyes and said, "The eldest daughter is a taboo for the saint, and he doesn't like her to be mentioned. But I can tell you that she is the eldest daughter of the first emperor, the eldest sister of the current saint and your mother, the exclusive favor of the queen mother of the two palaces, during the Kunyuan coup, she was as powerful as the sky, and almost abolished the dynasty and became the heroine of our dynasty. If others don't mention anything else about her, you'd better not ask. ”

On the contrary to Xiang Zhou, and different from his usual seriousness and coldness, Master Huang reminded me very gently and patiently.

I obediently closed my mouth and nodded.

Master Huang continued: "At that time, the princess and prince born to the concubine were not qualified to participate in politics at all, but for some reasons, the saint who was still the prince was also involved in the coup. He was obsessed with politics, the eldest daughter was difficult to marry Lantian, he agreed by default for fear of offending the eldest daughter, your mother did not hesitate to tear her face with the saint of the year in order to maintain Lantian, and then I don't know what method the saint used to calm the matter, Lantian was spared, but the relationship between the three siblings has been broken, and it can no longer be reunited. In addition to estranged from the saint, Lantian and your mother's relationship has become more and more intimate, she has always remembered this matter, in her heart, your mother is all her reliance and trust. ”

The five letters in my father's handwriting seem to have mentioned that the first time he approached his mother was because his mother had an inexplicable quarrel with a person, like who his mother was trying to defend for, was it because of Lantian's affairs? And that person is the current saint? ……
