Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Truth<中>
It was like a thunderbolt exploding above Xia Taozhi's head on a sunny day, she only felt that her eyes were blank, and all the fragments of memory were flying in the dazzling firelight, overwhelming her, and in that moment, she was completely submerged.
No...... It won't be hers...... Even if that princess happened to be in Yudong Village, it wouldn't be her...... There are many little girls of her age in Yudong Village...... Her aunt is not called Ziyu......
It won't be hers, it won't......
Song Yuanxi, who was only listening to the house, continued to say in a deep voice: "After you gave Wu Bi an order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Wu Bi directly slaughtered the village called Yudong Village, and thirty-six people in the village died overnight, and the entire village was burned to the ground. You must have thought that Concubine Xian's daughter also returned to Huangquan, right? Unexpectedly, as the only survivor, she escaped......"
The night wind began at some point, blowing louder and stronger, beating the paper on the dilapidated window lattices and screaming miserably. It was obviously a summer night in June, but Xia Taozhi felt like falling into an ice cave, from the top of her heart to her toes, hot tears flowed down, she raised her hand to cover her face, big tears rolled down from between her fingers, and she couldn't sit on the ground.
This is the truth, she is a princess, she is the daughter of Concubine Xian...... The tsundere prince had already checked everything clearly, but he kept her in the dark......
An unprecedented pain, spreading and burning in the chest...... Her own mother, her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and the lives of thirty-six people in her village were all killed by this vicious woman inside......
Her eyes were red, her chest was overwhelmed by something, her blood rumbling up as if it was about to burst through her eardrums, and the rage burned all her sanity in an instant......
With a "swish", the soft sword on his waist came out of the sheath, and Song Yuanxi in the room immediately noticed it and shouted: "Who?!" ”
At the same time, a faint sigh from the master sounded in her ears, "Little apprentice, it's time to go......"
Then her eyes went black and she fell into an endless abyss.
When Song Yuanxi chased him out, he only had time to see a white corner flashing on the dilapidated palace wall of the cold palace, and under the empty window lattice, only a soft sword was lying there quietly, so familiar that he was shocked.
The person who was outside just now, how could it be her......
He suddenly slammed his fist against the wall, and immediately the blood flowed like an infusion, and his eyes were full of violent anger, he was actually calculated!
With a surge of blood in his heart, he coughed fiercely, endured it for a night, and finally couldn't bear it. In the end, the old illness was not healed and he was ambushed and added new injuries, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
……
At dawn, the Chu Palace exploded, and three major events occurred overnight, which caught everyone off guard.
First, Concubine Shu died tragically in the cold palace, was cut and bled out, and died of blood all over her body. It seems that he had struggled for two or three hours before he died, and the room was covered with blood, which was very horrible. Then the prison was robbed, and the king of Rui, Song Yuanmin, and another death row prisoner were rescued. The last one, and the most fatal one, the prospective princess Niangniang, who had been temporarily living in the Qinglong Palace, was missing......
The entire Qinglong Hall was as silent as death, and all the palace maids and attendants knelt in the courtyard, shaking into a ball, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Headed by the two personal maids of Princess Ling, peony and begonia.
Haitang secretly raised the corner of her eyes and looked at the little mud who was standing straight at the door of the dormitory, wanting to exchange looks with him, but the little mud just shook her head gently, and then looked away.
At this time, no one can guess His Highness's thoughts, the mother is gone, His Royal Highness must be anxious, thunder and anger.
Peony knelt beside her, her face pale and full of self-reproach and shame. She actually lost her mother again......
Suddenly, the sound of the tea cup breaking came from the closed door of the dormitory, followed by an angry shout: "Ruin! ”
Everyone shook, then lowered their heads and held their breath.
"Go find this king again! I can't find the princess, this king wants you and all the people in this Qinglong Hall to be buried together! ”
As soon as the door of the hall opened, three people came out of it, Gu Ziyi, Xue Cheng and Xiao Lianxu, all three of whom were full of earthy faces. Before dawn, they led people to block the city gate, and turned Chu Jing over and searched for it, but they still couldn't find anyone, so they had to come back to restore their lives.
I knew that I couldn't run away with a scolding.
Little mud was summoned into the temple, and soon came out with a white face.
"His Royal Highness has an order, and the palace people in Qinglong Hall are derelict in their duties, and each of them will be beaten with fifty boards, and they will be put in prison and imprisoned, waiting for their fate."
As soon as these words came out, the courtyard was suddenly filled with a sound of crying and was taken down.
When passing by Gu Ziyi, Peony couldn't help but raise her eyes, Gu Ziyi's eyes flashed slightly, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and she spit out a few words: "Don't be afraid, there is me." Peony nodded without a trace, and was taken down with her head down.
The tea cup in the dormitory was shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere, making it a mess.
The little mud was squatting on the ground to clean up, and when he raised his eyes, he inadvertently saw his Royal Highness's gauze-wrapped hands, and blood was dripping again.
"Your Highness......" he called softly: "Your hand ......"
The man sitting did not move at all, his eyes were sharp, and his whole body exuded an extremely dangerous aura, so he didn't dare to say anything, and buried himself in cleaning up the debris.
Song Yuanxi didn't have the heart to take care of the injuries on his hands, his heart was roaring with a raging wind at the moment, and black waves were surging.
Little Peach, where have you been...... Didn't you promise me never to leave me again...... Whatever you hear, come back to me, and I'll give you an explanation......
He was so careless that he didn't realize that this was a game that led him to the bait. Now, he has told all the truth himself, how can little peach bear it...... If she is used by someone with a heart, how can she protect herself......
No, he can't wait like this, no matter what the purpose of the person behind him is, he can't sit still. What's more, he almost already knew who the person behind it was.
"Little mud, you go to the eldest princess's mansion and send a message for this king. Let's just say that the person she thought about for a long time, this king found it for him. ”
"Yes."
Little Mud took the order.
The door of the palace slowly closed, and the corners of Song Yuanxi's lips hooked up a sneer, this imperial aunt secretly calculated him once in Gyeongju, and this time, let him return the husband and wife with interest!
***
Xia Taozhi stood in a sea of fire, with corpses on one side, and the sound of steel knives scraping through the dirt on the other side, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xuanyuan Geng, who was dressed in black, holding a knife with a sneer, slowly walking towards her from the sea of fire, with the token hanging on his waist, which was particularly eye-catching in the firelight. She wanted to escape, but found that she couldn't move, her father and aunt crawled over covered in blood, hugged her legs firmly, and kept chanting: "Princess...... Princess...... Are you here with us......"
She kept screaming, but was dragged into the mud, and the next moment, she was in the study again, with a red tent and candles, and beside her was a tsundere prince dressed in red, who affectionately took her shoulder, held her in his arms, and said to her: "Little peach...... When I become the crown prince, I will definitely avenge you, do you believe me...... Trust me......" She tried to break free, she wanted to scream, she wanted to shout that he was a liar, but she couldn't make a sound anyway.
In the next moment, she walked into a small courtyard again, a woman in red, holding a long sword, standing under the peach blossom tree and dancing the sword, the petals fluttering, lining her posture. Seeing her coming, she turned around, put away her sword, and beckoned to her: "Ah Luo, come here......"
She hesitated, looked at the heroic eyebrows that were somewhat similar to hers, and spoke in a daze.
"You...... Are you my mother? ”
She smiled and held her hand out, "Of course I'm your mother, fool. ”
She was overjoyed and hurriedly handed her hand over, but as soon as she held her hand, the scene around her changed. The woman, who was still practicing swords under the tree just now, was lying on a bed with a faceless face in a blink of an eye, her lower body was a pool of blood, and the heavy smell of blood filled the whole room, and everything that could be touched was stained scarlet with blood.
There was only a small palace maid on the side, lying at the head of the bed and crying.
"Mother, mother, cheer up...... You wait...... The emperor will be here soon......"
The woman lying on the bed just gently closed her eyes full of tears, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Gong raised her head, gritted her teeth and stood up, as if she was ruthless: "Slave maid...... The slave maid will go to the East Pole Hall again and ask the emperor to ......"
A miserable hand tugged at her dress, and the woman's lips on the bed squirmed, squeezing out a few words with great difficulty: "No...... It's useless, he, he's not coming......"
"But...... Niangniang ...... "The little palace maid cried and sobbed, and her nose was red, exactly the same as when her aunt cried.
"Will ...... Little princess, hug, hug it, show it to the palace......"
Only then did she find that there was a newborn baby beside her, and the little palace maid cried and hugged the baby over, and the eyes of the woman on the bed instantly became very soft and warm.
"Ziyu, you see...... He looks so much like him, but he won't even look at it......" She kissed the little baby, poked her chubby little face, and said softly: "Your father doesn't come to see you, he is not blessed, you don't have a name yet, my mother will give you one...... "The green bamboo enters the hidden path, and the green radish brushes the clothes, "You call it the green rament...... My mother hopes that you will stay away from the emperor's family, stay away from the struggle for power and profit, intrigue, and grow up to be a free and happy girl, and live a carefree life......"
Green Radix ...... Green Radix ...... That's her name......
"It's time to go," ...... a faint sigh rang out at the door.
