Chapter 071: Empathy

Gong Xin's tone of voice when telling the story is very calm, but it allows the listener to devote himself to the world she describes.

Ye Yufu can even imagine the sound and appearance of Jin Zhi Yu Jinyu.

"And then? What happened to the Golden Bough. Ye Yufu almost couldn't wait to ask.

For some reason, she felt that she could empathize, that she could understand what the Golden Bough was thinking, and what she was doing. Women are born weak, but sometimes they are extremely strong.

Gong Xin took a sip of the tea that was already cold in the cup, moistened his throat and continued.

"Taishi Wu's youngest son even made a lot of nonsense at the wedding banquet, saying that Princess Lian Tangtang was not willing to marry him, but somehow it reached Jin Yu's ears within an hour."

"Jin Yu has hated and hated Taishi Wu's youngest son very much from the beginning, and now he is even more disgusted and wants to kill him, the treasure he has always held in the palm of his hand is actually so worthless in the eyes of others."

"So Jin Yu did something that did not conform to his identity, and in the second half of the wedding banquet, he broke in and locked up Wu Taishi's youngest son."

Jin Zhi waited in the inner room for a long time, but he never saw the groom coming, and a little uneasiness flashed in his heart, and sure enough, after a while, it was not the youngest son of the Wu family who came in, but her brother Jin Yu.

Jin Yu was still wearing the bright yellow palace clothes in the palace, and when he saw Jin Zhi, he took her hand and was about to leave, but Jin Zhi shook off his hand fiercely.

Jin Yu was even more angry at this time, and when he lifted the handkerchief of the golden branch, he opened his mouth to blame.

Jin Zhi listened silently, and it took a long, long time before he spoke. She said that she knew from the beginning what kind of person the youngest son of the Wu family was, and she would not return to the palace. ”

Jin Yu looked at her stubborn appearance, and was annoyed that she occupied reason for a while, and finally shook her hand and left.

"After Jin Zhi got married, Jin Yu sent people to inquire about her news countless times, but the people sent were finally discovered by Jin Zhi and thrown out."

Gradually, Jin Yu remembered Jin Zhi less and less, and the lively and lovely sister in his memory seemed to fade away with time.

"The days passed like this, so more than a year later, Jin Yu had completely broken the news of the golden branch, and was obsessed with politics all day long."

"But one day, there was a shocking news from Wufu, saying that the golden branch accidentally fell into the lake, resulting in a miscarriage and the situation was so serious that it was life-threatening."

When Jin Yu heard the name of Jin Zhi, it seemed like a lifetime away, but when he heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. Send someone to find out the situation right away. ”

"Later, the people sent by Jin Yu inquired, saying that the youngest son of the Wu family accepted two more concubines only three months after marrying Jin Zhi, and it has become more and more rampant in the past year or so, according to rumors, the Wu family's backyard is almost not enough for the Wu family's youngest son's concubine."

"According to rumors, Jin Zhi's miscarriage was persecuted by a concubine of this little prince Wu, Jin Zhi is kind and kind, and has never liked to quarrel with others, so although she is a princess of a country, she is married to the wife of the Wu family after all, so she has never lost her temper with the Wu family from beginning to end."

Jin Yu couldn't sit still when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to tie up Wu Xiaogongzi, and he went directly to Wu Mansion with his men.

Jin Yu has thought about countless kinds of golden branches along the way, but no matter what they are, they will not be as miserable as they are now. However, in just one year, Jin Zhi seems to be ten years old, and the beautiful eyes that are full of vitality on weekdays are full of vicissitudes at the moment, the smooth and firm skin before has become dry, and the original plump figure is now alive and thin. ”

This one looks like he is a few years older than Jin Yu. She had been lying on the bed, her face as white as paper, and her hands had been on her lower abdomen. ”

Jin Zhi saw Jin Yu for the first time, but he was not the slightest surprised, but he said hello with a distant and indifferent expression, which made Jin Yu, who was originally angry, lose his anger all of a sudden.

"Later, no matter what Jin Yu said, Jin Zhi didn't need you to meddle in his affairs, so he finally succeeded in getting rid of Jin Yu in the end."

"Later, another month later, a woman in Wu Mansion who claimed to be the personal maid of Jin Zhi entered the palace and asked to see Jin Yu, and presented a big package."

"But the package has been thrown aside by Jin Yu, and after another month, bad news came from the Wu Mansion that Jin Zhi was dead."

Ye Yufu gasped when she heard this, she wanted to know why such a good woman had to go through this and die at a young age.

Gong Xin looked at Ye Yufu's appearance, but smiled silently. After a short pause, I moved on to the rest of the story.

Jin Yu only then remembered the package he had sent a month ago, and after opening it in a hurry, he found that in addition to a lot of letters, there were many familiar things, and those things were all given to Jin Zhi by himself.

"In one of the coral bracelets is a letter with Jin Yu's name written on it."

Gong Xin said this but suddenly stopped talking, and after a long time, he raised his head and asked Ye Yufu: "Does the princess want to know what is written in that letter?" ”

Ye Yufu nodded as a matter of course.

The letter was full of thanks to Jin Yu, and between the lines were the most sincere feelings that belonged to a sister and a woman. And in this letter, she clearly explained the reason why she had to marry into the Wu family before. ”

"It turns out that Jin Zhi entered the Wu family from the beginning to collect evidence of Wu Taishi's corruption, and for more than a year, she has been doing things in the Wu Mansion to betray her husband for Jin Yu, who is far away in the palace."

"The previous letters were all evidence that Jin Zhi had painstakingly collected to move to Wu Taishi. Jin Yu saw these uncontrollable tears in the corners of his eyes. ”

And at the end of the letter, he couldn't help but break down and cry. In the last few lines of the letter, Jin Zhi said that from a few days before she got married, she knew that she had a stubborn illness and that her life was short, and that the child she later became pregnant and lost was also a play she played herself, the purpose of which was to blame Wu Gongzi and his concubine, so that the scandal would affect Wu Taishi's reputation. ”

"She said that the most sorry thing in her life was the child who died in the womb before she was born."

Ye Yufu's face was solemn at this moment, and Jin Zhi's feelings were too strong to be overwhelmed, for the sake of his brother to be able to kill the child in his womb.

Later, Jin Yu relied on the evidence collected by Jin Zhi to overthrow Taishi Wu in one fell swoop and exiled his family. and decreed that the golden branch would be buried in the imperial mausoleum. ”

"In fact, it can be said that Jin Yu's throne was kept by Jin Zhi. Because if Jin Zhi hadn't found those evidences, it wouldn't be long before Taishi Wu would have colluded with the ministers to usurp the throne. ”

Ye Yufu felt that the whole story was too dignified, as if all the pathos in this world were staged on the body of a weak woman, and she couldn't help asking, "Is this the end of the story?" ”

Gong Xin nodded silently, and there was a hint of desolation in his tone: "That's right, the story I told is something that really happened in past history. And Jin Zhi and Jin Yu are also real. I say that books never add oil and vinegar, and the stories I tell are the most truthful. But sometimes I wish she wasn't real. ”

After Ye Yufu heard what Gong Xin said, an indescribable sourness surged in her heart.

"It seems that the time is not too early, I will retire today first, and I will come to tell the princess a story tomorrow."

Gong Xin looked at Ye Yufu's contemplative appearance when he lowered his head, so he didn't bother anymore and turned around and retreated.

After Ye Yufu left in Gong Xin, she stood by the window alone, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, and her heart was in a mess.

She seems to see her own shadow from Jin Zhi's body, she and Jin Zhi are not like each other, like identity and have a relative who is very important to her, unlike Jin Zhi who is more paranoid than her.

Jin Zhi blocked the happiness of her life for her brother, but she didn't dare to think about the future.

She suddenly began to be afraid, afraid that one day she would end up with the same end as the golden branch.

The relationship between her and Ye Yugui is like gunpowder buried in the ground, maybe it will explode when you step on it.

That night, when Ye Yu returned, Ye Yufu was sitting on the steps of the hall looking at the moon in the sky in a daze, looking at her weak body from a distance, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

"Sister Huang, why are you sitting here, the steps are too cold, and your body is not well, what if you get cold." Ye Yugui said, and did not wait for Ye Yufu to get up by herself.

hugged Ye Yufu with a cross arm and carried her directly into the house.

It's summer now, but it's very cool outside at night, and Ye Yufu also felt a little stuffy in the house before coming outside, but who knew that Ye Yugui came after sitting for a while.

This has to be in normal times, Ye Yugui hugged Ye Yufu like this, Ye Yufu would never agree, but today instead of saying a word, he was honestly motionless.

Ye Yugui put his head on Ye Yufu's forehead: "Why don't you speak." ”

Ye Yufu patted him on the shoulder and asked him to put himself down, then lowered his head and said in a depressed tone: "Yugui, I heard a story today, a story that is not very good. ”

Ye Yugui suddenly thought of the matter of asking the emperor to find a storyteller for Ye Yufu a few days ago: "What, is it that the person who told the story today is not good, or I will personally find one for you in a few days." ”

Ye Yufu hurriedly shook her head and clutched the handkerchief in her hand: "No, I like the person who told the story today." ”

Ye Yugui let out an "oh", and then said unhappily on his face: "You said in front of me that you like other men?" ”

To be honest, although Ye Yugui is too mature in some aspects, he is like a child in some aspects. For example, there will always be jealousy for a small thing.

"Whoever said that the storyteller must be a man, and the one who told me today is a woman."

"That's good."

"By the way, Sister Huang, if I say I want to marry a wife, will you forgive me."
