Chapter 28 The Lord of Lang Huan
From Yuan Shijiu's mouth, Cersei learned a story of "Tanuki for Prince" often seen in drama books. The only difference is that this "prince" has become her.
"When the first prince knew the intentions of the Seventh Prince, the general trend had already gone. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was about to give birth at that time, and the first prince only had time to arrange for someone to replace you out, and only said to the outside world that he gave birth to a boy, and asked the nurse to take you to her hometown and be a daughter of an ordinary family. Who knew that the nurse was cunning, afraid of being dragged down, and did not return to her hometown as promised, but our people were thrown off by her halfway and lost their traces. ”
At this time, Cersei's mood had calmed down from the shock: "Then how did you find me and know that I am the county lord?" ”
"Our people turned the nurse's hometown upside down and didn't find her, only to find out that she didn't go back, and searched all the way along the way, and it took eight years to find her in the countryside near Kyoto. It turned out that she was not far from Kyoto, but married someone nearby and often went into the city to find out the news. ”
Cersei grinned, as if smiling: "He's a smart man." Jade glanced at her, and saw that she had no resentment towards this nurse who had abandoned her, and she was a little interested, and stared at her without stopping.
"Yes, she has deliberately eaten fat head and fat ears over the years, and has changed her body, if it weren't for the fact that one of us has dealt with her for many years, she would have really been hidden from her for a while. Later, when we threatened her with a boy, she said that she would throw you in the temple and who picked you up. ”
The nurse was full of words at that time, and the Tao was to ask a stranger to pick it up, and she couldn't even find her own person in this life, so that the county lord could really live a stable life. Every time Yuan 19 thought about it, he hated grinding his teeth.
Cersei couldn't remember the appearance of this nurse at all, and when she saw the result, in the end, she didn't ask anyone to pick it up, but grew up like a weed on her own sufficiency.
"We later spent a lot of effort, before and after spending seven or eight years, looking for children of your age in the streets and alleys of Beijing, but there was no trace of you, almost desperate, I heard that the prince of An Guo picked up a beggar and came back, so I entered the house."
"How can you be sure that I am the county lord?" ”
Yuan Shijiu scratched his head, looking a little silly: "I wasn't sure, until I saw Jade's skills and knew that there was another group of people who were also secretly protecting you, so I was basically sure." Last year you went to Honolulu and met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and our talents were withdrawn from everywhere. ”
Cersei nodded, thinking that the resolute woman was actually her mother. She was so kind to herself, but she didn't know her face, I don't know what kind of mood she was in at that time. thought he was a little beggar with no worries and nowhere to go, but he also had a mother who asked for warmth and a father who carefully carved the word "Lang Huan". They also looked forward to their birth with great enthusiasm, and tried their best to fight for a glimmer of life for themselves. Cersei's heart ached, but he didn't want to show his emotions in front of others.
She looked at Jade: "Do the people who have returned to the mountain already know that I am the county lord?" ”
Jade rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say it, Zihui Mountain is not involved in political affairs, I only knew that you were the county lord after a fight with Yuan Shijiu." ”
Cersei nodded, and asked Yuan Shijiu again: "Then who are you?" ”
Yuan Shijiu knelt down again and looked up at her: "The Yuan family has always been a royal secret guard, only the emperors and princes of previous dynasties know that the subordinate clansmen have no names, only ranks, and protect the orthodox blood of the royal family throughout their lives." ”
Cersei muttered: "When today's son is also a royal bloodline, you have no reason to protect me as an orphan girl." The first prince...... My father and mother have instructed my nurse to take me home to be an ordinary woman, and I have no intention of usurping power and taking revenge for them. ”
Yuan Shijiu was angry: "There was a proverb that Dao Jiangshan would die at the hands of the Seven Princes, and the first emperor had no intention of appointing the Seven Princes as the princes, and he was not in the right position, so his subordinates and others naturally would not follow." ”
Se said: "Then you can go and assist other princes......" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and now there are any princes who have become a climate, all of whom have been killed by the emperor and exiled. Thinking of this, her face was a little sneering. This emperor is too ruthless.
Yuan 19 also thought so: "The Seventh Prince's killing karma is too heavy, and now there is a hidden uprising in various places, and sure enough, as the proverb said, the overthrow of the country is not far away." If we take advantage of this east wind, His Royal Highness is the most orthodox, and it may not be impossible to put the throne in his pocket. ”
Cersei couldn't help but remind him: "Since the prophecy says that the country will die, obviously it can no longer follow the emperor's surname Xiao, according to what you said, I am also surnamed Xiao, how can I take it back?" ”
Yuan Shijiu's face was like an autumn pear in September, white and green, and Jade sneered: "I have long said that you have a bad brain, but fortunately, your master is a smart person, so you should obediently find a place to live a small life, don't worry about the country." ”
Cersei couldn't bear to hit this heartfelt guard, and changed the subject: "Where is that nurse now, I want to meet her." ”
Yuan Shijiu said with a white face: "We found the nurse back then, and after asking about your whereabouts, we wanted to kill the slave who betrayed the master, but a group of people jumped out, we didn't have enough manpower, and the nurse was robbed." It wasn't until this year that he showed up, but he was sent to Dali Temple by Lin Wenjing's traitor, and now the people from the Anguo Mansion are also searching for your traces in Beijing, and it is a matter of time before they find you. ”
The third group of forces. She hasn't figured out the East Palace and Zigui Mountain yet, and the Anguo Mansion is not safe. However, Cersei couldn't understand why the nurse had been handed over this year if she had been found by someone from the Anguo Mansion a few years ago, and there must have been something that Yuan Shijiu and the others didn't know about.
Cersei cleared his throat: "Then why don't you take me away now?" ”
"We have spent many years investigating your traces, and we have erased all traces of your findings, and Your Highness asked you to falsely report that you were two years old that day, and this is also for consideration. It is not easy for the people of the Anguo Mansion to find you. It's not hard to get you out now, but it will reveal your tracks. Now that the above has made a decree, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will be exiled to Qianzhou in three months, and we are not manpowered, if we rescue you first, and startle the snake, Your Highness and the emperor and grandson will have no life. ”
Cersei remembered a conversation she had heard outside the hall when she was delivering flowers last fall, and her heart was even more puzzled. It seems that the Protectorate first found the mother-in-law who delivered the crown princess, and the Anguo Mansion had no choice but to hand over the nurse, and then asked for an order to exile the princess. What is the reason for this, and what is the connection? Cersser's fingers unconsciously looked at the kang table, but he saw a gleam in Jade's eyes.
She looked at Emerald suspiciously, could it be that Emerald knew something? But he watched Jade staring at his fingers and slowly frowned. She suddenly realized that the actions she made inadvertently during her thinking were very similar to Lin Huaijin, and Jade had been serving by Lin Huaijin's side, and she knew his habits well.
Cersei's face was red, but her heart was sour, she didn't want to think about Lin Huaijin, and asked Yuan Shijiu: "Then let's leave in three months?" ”
Yuan Shijiu nodded yes, and asked again, "How much money do I have?" ”
Yuan Shijiu was stunned for a moment, and his face was embarrassed: "The first prince hurriedly bought some field shops for the county lord, and recorded them under the names of each family, but it was just ......"
It's just that the tree has fallen and scattered, and now there are very few that can be recovered. Cersei added in her heart. Fortunately, she had nothing before, and she came over like this, as long as she had a shop or a few acres of fertile land, she believed that she could live well.
Cersei nodded to indicate that he knew, and Yuan Shijiu saluted and quietly withdrew, just like when he came, without a trace.
