Chapter 177: The Past
"Twelve years ago, when the former king was examining the sea, he happened to save him from dying in a remote sea, and the king was not a king at that time, and he had nothing to do with the royal family. At the beginning, the imperial doctor said that the king injured his head and lost his past memories, and at that time, it was the old man who took care of the king who lost his memory, and in an accident, he saw that the king had the birthmark that the man of the Dongguo royal family was born with. ”
"Two inches on his waist, there is a butterfly-shaped birthmark. The old man informed the first king of this, and the first king used various means to finally verify that the king was indeed his blood descendant, but when he first saved the king, he had nothing else on his body except for a slingshot wrapped in oiled paper and tightly protected on his chest, and the first king could not know its origin. ”
"At that time, Dongguo was mired in civil strife, several princes fought for the throne, died and died, and the first king could not, and it took three years to train the king, and after the death of the first king, the king ascended the throne and became a new generation of Dongguo Mingjun."
Facts have proved that the vision of the first king is really good, and after the king ascended the throne, he made all the opposition voices in the court disappear with a thunderous force, and let Dongguo regain the prosperity of decades ago.
At this point, no one can compare to him.
Li Ning only felt silent, the old man said simply, but she was also a young lady from a family, so she naturally knew how critical the situation was at that time.
Dongguo was already in civil strife, and suddenly there was an extra prince, he was bound to become a thorn in the side of others, and what he had to experience was very unimaginable.
An ordinary family can be so dirty, let alone a royal family.
And the memory he lost at that time was like a blank piece of paper.
"You lost your memory, so you remarried a year later and took a concubine." Li Ning felt uncomfortable, she didn't even know that the tea in the cup was spilled, she wanted to laugh, but she could only smile bitterly: "That is, in those years or two, my sister-in-law died of depression, and Sister Li was forced to run away from the Li family because there was no one behind her, and took refuge in the An family, who had become an important minister in the court. ”
King Dongguo's eyes froze, and the knuckles of the teacup clenched were white, and even the cup body had a trace of cracks.
He has nothing to say, and amnesia cannot be an excuse for him.
"My sister-in-law said that she wanted to have a bamboo house that was not disturbed by the world, and in the bamboo forest, it was mysterious and beautiful." At this moment, Li Ning finally knew why the dignified King Dongguo lived here.
Li Ning seemed to be saying to herself: "At the beginning, my sister-in-law was like expecting something, and she prepared in advance, and after she went, she asked a grandmother in the family to take Sister Li'er to Beijing, and I also found Sister Li'er five years ago." I was not at home when my sister-in-law went, and the people in the family were silent about this matter at that time, refusing to tell me where my sister Li'er was, and I searched for a few years. ”
"Brother, can you tell me, why didn't you let people go to Sister Li'er after recovering their memories? You are the king of Dongguo, as long as you want to, you will definitely be able to find her, over the years, she is a little girl, do you know how wronged she is. ”
Li Li didn't feel wronged, maybe she had been wronged in her previous life, but she got used to it later.
Li Ning was wronged for her.
King Dongguo was silent, the old man squinted, and slowly spoke: "After recovering his memory, Wang Shangsai went to Dazhou to look for people, but the news given over there was - the mother and daughter died. ”
"How is this possible!!" Li Ning was excited, and said in disbelief: "No matter how much the Li family doesn't treat Sister Li, it is impossible to say such a thing, but you have listened to what the Li family said in person?" ”
Seeing that she was emotional, Bai Peng silently patted the back of Li Ning's hand, signaling her to calm down and continue to listen to others.
The old man shook his head: "It's not the Li family who said it, it's the news brought back by the people who were sent out at the beginning......"
And those people at the beginning were sent out by the original princess and the current queen.
The old man glanced at King Dongguo, but King Dongguo lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
And everything that followed, the old man couldn't say much, even if he understood, he couldn't say more.
Of everything in the royal family, it is naturally the king who is in charge.
Li Ning was stunned: "So, after you heard the news, you didn't even check it, and you directly believed it?" ”
She stared at King Dongguo tightly, with obvious disappointment in her eyes.
If he were his former brother, he would never believe anyone's nonsense.
The former brother and sister-in-law were extremely affectionate, and there was no room for a third person between the two.
Counting the time, when he regained his memory, he already had two sons.
So, did he not care about that one daughter, or did he trust the others in the palace too much.
If it weren't for the fact that the second prince of Dongguo went to Da Zhou and learned some clues by chance, does that mean that it is possible that in this life, in the eyes of King Dongguo, Li Li is just a 'dead daughter'.
"I'll give you an explanation for this."
It's me, not me.
The Middle Palace is too rampant! He won't give up!
He wasn't
Li Ning took a deep breath and frowned: "You don't need to give me an explanation, you only need to give an explanation to the deceased sister-in-law and Sister Li'er." ”
A child whose biological father is so noble, but because of various accidents, he has become a broken family in the eyes of others.
As long as she thought about it, she felt that she should respond in her heart, if it weren't for the An family really treating her as her own daughter, she really couldn't swallow this breath.
Getting back to the point, Li Ning took a deep breath and looked up at the night sky of Dongguo Kingdom, only to feel that the night here was a kind of oppressive discomfort, no wonder he wanted to build a bamboo house surrounded by the Qimen Bagua Array in the huge palace. I am afraid that the original intention of building the bamboo house at that time was to leave himself the last quiet place in this noise.
"When are you going to see her, she is very anxious and wants to return to Da Zhou as soon as possible." Li Ning's voice was very soft, so light that King Dongguo immediately frowned.
"What do you do when you go back, this will be her home in the future." King Dongguo's voice was cold, and if he listened carefully, there was still a sense of indignation in it.
Li Ning glanced at him strangely, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately realized what his brother was awkward, and suddenly patted his forehead and asked, "Oh, are you dissatisfied with the person she married?" ”
Also, I heard that there would be a conflict between the father-in-law and the son-in-law at the beginning.
Presumably, this is the most appropriate for him and An Yichen.
But I can only sigh that fate makes people.
After all, putting aside the little awkwardness between them, An Yichen is definitely a young and promising child, and how many people are vying to marry him, but in the end he was accepted by Li Li.
Thinking of this, Li Ning subconsciously straightened his back, feeling inexplicable and honored.
King Dongguo was even more uncomfortable in his heart, but he was in a high position all the year round, so no matter what he thought in his heart, he would not show a little bit on his face.
Because of the awkwardness of his son-in-law in his heart, Li Ning still couldn't find out his thoughts, so he could only take Bai Peng back to the princess's mansion to resume his life.
In the middle of the night, the princess's mansion was still brightly lit all night, Li Ning took Bai Peng to stand in the side room for a while, and waited until the frost on his body melted, the two entered the main house, and Li Li personally poured tea for them.
"What did he say?"
"He said that you don't have to rush, he arranges these things freely." Li Ning took a sip of tea: "It's useless to say that you are in a hurry." ”
Li Li: "......" is exactly that.
If she was in a hurry, she would have sorted everything out and packed up and set off for home, where would she waste her time here.
Bai Peng didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, and those who knew him naturally knew that he was enjoying it too much.
The father and daughter had never met each other, and they didn't even know each other's existence at first, but they had one thing in common, at least their tea skills were amazing, as if the cup of tea they brewed casually was more kind than the others carefully prepared.
Li Ning held the teacup, her plain white face was even softer under the soft light of the night pearl, she looked at Li Li suspiciously, and suddenly remembered what happened in the bamboo pavilion.
Some are not sure what to do now.
Tell her everything, or forget about it?
In the end, she pretended to be stupid and changed her question: "Sister Li, do you blame your father for not sending anyone to look for you for so many years?" ”
What she wanted to ask was: Do you hate him?
But the word hate was too heavy, and she didn't want to let her carry it.
Li Li shook his head coldly: "It's not strange. My father and I were just two cold words on paper, just a name in other people's mouths, and I have never blamed him for as long as I can remember. ”
Just when he never existed.
Maybe in the first life, she will apologize for taking away other people's daughter's body, but that is not what she wants, she is not willing to take away and be reborn.
Li Ning felt uncomfortable, and even talked a lot, so he silently complained in his heart: Hell!
A teenage girl who sees things more clearly than they thank the old man.
Although she didn't say it directly, how could she not hear what she was saying.
I didn't expect it, how could I be disappointed.
If you haven't loved, how can you blame it.
Until the next morning, Li Li was still lying on the bed and never moved.
During this time, she became more and more sleepy and felt more and more tired.
The reason for this is that she has made a justifiable excuse for her snooze - she is not adaptable.
Today, this excuse of hers is fully functional.
for there was a man in the palace.
It's a pity that it wasn't the king who came, but the queen of the middle palace, the one who was nominally her mother.
She scoffed at the word 'mother', and her memory told her that her mother was the angry face she couldn't remember.
Therefore, if the queen of the middle palace wants to play the prestige of her elders in front of her, it is absolutely impossible!
With the Shang Fang treasure order rewarded by the king of Dongguo, Li Li lay in the inner room, did not lift his eyelids, and rejected the queen's 'invitation' with an extremely tough attitude, and let the palace people who came leave in a gloomy manner.
Cha Xiang stayed outside to make sure that Li Li was not disturbed, and then gently lowered the curtain.
When they arrived in this strange place, even the personal maid knew that the young lady who felt sorry for them.
