Marquis Dingyuan snorted: "You are dead, the Empress Dowager is in power, and my Mo family has no peace." Saving your life is just to make up for the shortcomings and set things right. The light in his eyes fell on him like a sharp knife, "Shen Yun, although you are arrogant, but in the end, there is no disaster to the country and the people, and it is not hopeless." At least it's much more worthy of appreciation than your stepfather. ”

Although Shen Hanxi is a little ruthless, and many things are not visible, Dajing can't be stable without him. For example, some time ago, the Tatar invasion, if it was tossed by those people in the military department, Dajing would not be far from the country.

The old ministers in the six ministries saw interests in their eyes, and the entire court couldn't find a few good things.

In this pool of mud, if you choose to be upright, you are naturally worthy of admiration, but like Shen Hanxi, walking on the boundary between good and evil, you can't deny it completely.

Shen Hanxi gently straightened his clothes and lowered his head and smiled. His hair is haphazardly tied to one side, giving it a languid and casual look.

When Marquis Dingyuan mentioned Gu Linsheng, his cold tone was mixed with a thick mockery: "In this Hou's life, I am most unaccustomed to a hypocrite like Gu Linsheng, who is a virtuous minister on the surface, but in fact, he is abusing power and misleading the country. Ten years ago, if you didn't kill him, you would have killed him. ”

Gu Lin has been dead for so many years, and when he mentions this person, he still has a gushing murderous intent that he can't hide.

Shen Hanxi's eyebrows moved lightly, and he asked, "Forgive me for overstepping, there is something I want to ask Master Hou." Many days ago, at the Jinluan Palace, the Empress Dowager personally admitted that Shaowei was Gu Linsheng's daughter. Before I met Hou Ye, I still had a little doubt about this matter, but when I saw Hou Ye today, I could only treat her as an old fool. The smile on his lips was slightly deep, with a touch of playfulness, "As long as you are not blind, anyone can see that Shaowei is the biological daughter of Master Hou." ”

The figure of the Marquis of Dingyuan was stunned.

Shen Hanxi tilted his head slightly, and the light of the sunset outside the pavilion shone obliquely on his face, making that originally cold face look radiant: "If it weren't for the biological father and daughter, how could the eyebrows and eyes be so similar?" ”

There was a moment of silence. He suddenly remembered the day his daughter was born.

In this world, no one knows how happy he was when he held her in his arms, and how overwhelmed he was.

It was his first time as a father, and no one had taught him how to be a parent before, but he clearly remembered how he felt at that moment.

At that moment, he wanted to give her the whole world.

Because the Qin family was born prematurely, not long after the birth of this daughter, some unpleasant rumors began to appear in the house, and he was so angry that he personally killed the maid who was the first to chew the root of his tongue, and it took dozens of family laws to settle the matter. He doesn't believe in that nonsense at all. However, those rumors still reached the ears of the Qin family. She has a strong personality, and she said some angry words in anger, and when they reached his ears, they changed their taste after being added by their subordinates. When he was young, he had an irritable and impulsive personality, and he did many things that hurt her heart, said many things that hurt her heart, and the relationship between husband and wife was very stiff.

However, the knot in his heart was never a doubt about his daughter's bloodline, what really left a knot in his heart was that he found a letter written to her by Gu Linsheng from the Qin family many years later.

Gu Linsheng said in the letter that he named the child in her womb "Shaowei".

Inshou Palace.

A woman of nearly sixty years of age sat alone in the dormitory, looking at the woman in the bronze mirror. The hairpin on her head is still the same, and her clothes are solemn, as if she is still the pampered queen mother.

Although the Son of Heaven imprisoned her here, he did not treat her harshly, leaving two personal palace maids to take care of her, and the food and clothing were the same as usual, as if nothing had changed.

She straightened her sideburns and heard the voice of a maid outside the door: "I've seen Mrs. Hou." ”

The door of the temple was opened and closed again, and all the palace people respectfully withdrew and stood guard outside the door.

The Empress Dowager didn't look back, waited for the footsteps to stop behind her, and said calmly: "The mourning family knew that you would come." ”

The woman is nearly forty years old, but she seems to be in her early thirties, and anyone who sees her elegance at this time will not doubt why she was recognized as the first beauty in Dajing back then.

"Twilight, after so many years, you are finally willing to come to see the mourning family."

Qin Duyu's near-perfect face was as cold as ice: "I swore that I would never forgive you for the rest of my life." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family doesn't need your forgiveness. Everything the mourning family does is for your good. You are now the mother of the Mo family, and your daughter will also be the queen of Dajing. The mourning family can see that the Son of Heaven loves Shaowei, he will kill Shen Hanxi and make Shaowei the queen. ”

Qin Duyu stood behind her, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "After so many years, you are still so self-righteous. That's why it's a failure. Until now, do you feel that everything you did was right? ”

"The mourning family has lost, but what is wrong with the mourning family?"

Qin Duyu sneered: "What a mistake. ”

Her gaze fell on the face of the woman in the bronze mirror: "You can't make mistakes, so the child in my womb deserves to die?" ”

There was no joy or sorrow in her voice, and she asked almost calmly: "Back then, Lin Sheng wanted to achieve hegemony, and the biggest obstacle was the Mo family, it just so happened that Mo Shaoqing liked me, you are so calculating, naturally you will not let go of such a good opportunity." No matter how much I pleaded, I didn't stop you from giving you a marriage. I was also stupid, thinking that if I had Lin Sheng's flesh and bones, you would be able to fulfill us for the sake of the child. At this point, a pale smile appeared on his lips, "But you chose to take that child's life." At first, I thought it was me who was careless, but later I found out that it was you who secretly did it. ”

The Empress Dowager was exposed by her for the murder she had committed at the beginning, and her tone was cold and hard: "Back then, the Xiang family was already pregnant with my son's child, if the evil seed in your womb is not defeated, it will affect the marriage with the Mo family, and it will not benefit anyone." ”

Qin Duyu lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "Evil seed, heh, ......" continued, "Lin Sheng was also very sad when he knew that the child was gone, he promised me that when he achieved hegemony, he would take me back to him, and we would have more children." ”

The Empress Dowager's voice was like a cold sharp weapon, and it struck her heart: "If you want to blame, you will be blamed for not being useful, and you can't get the favor of the Marquis of Dingyuan." After marrying into the Mo family, not only did I fail to help my son, but I also watched him end up like that. ”

At this the old woman, her hands trembled uncontrollably. Perhaps, only Gu Linsheng's death in this world can still shake her indestructible heart.

Qin Duyu's expression was pale and cold, and he said coldly: "He deserves it." ”

The Empress Dowager asked her in a deep voice, "Twilight Yu, didn't you blame my son for the child's death?" It was the work of the mourning family, and it has nothing to do with my son. He was also very sad to lose that child. ”

Listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Qin Duyu smiled slowly: "I originally thought that he was extremely sad, and he had even chosen a name for this child...... How can a father be willing to harm his own children? ”

The Empress Dowager pinched her fingers and said: "You have a deep affection for my son, and even when the second child was born, he was also named 'Shaowei'." You and Dingyuan Hou have quarreled for many years because of this child's bloodline. Less micro...... It must be my son's flesh and blood. ”

When Qin Duyu heard this, his expression suddenly became more malicient: "Mother, how long do you want to deceive yourself?" ”

The old eyes in the bronze mirror widened at these words.

"I've been deceived by him for the first time, how can I make the same mistake again? It's clearly him, and he doesn't want that child. Soon after I married into the Mo family, he came to me with a look of regret, and that day he was very drunk, and he had a night with my maidservant, and he was only afraid of ...... I thought that person was me. ”

In the Empress Dowager's somewhat distorted expression, the woman hooked her lips and continued: "The person who named her daughter 'Shaowei' was not me, but Shaowei's grandfather. There was no hatred in her gaze, only a little mercy that bordered on charity, "Mother, everything is just a coincidence. But I think that maybe that child has a spirit under the spring, and wants Shaowei to continue the life he failed to get, and guide her in the dark to avenge him. I'm going to ask you a question in the place of that child. Mother, do you regret that you didn't leave that 'evil seed' behind? If you had a trace of compassion at that time, in this world, you would not be unable to leave a little bit of Gu Linsheng's blood. ”

In the Wind Pavilion, Dingyuan Hou's voice was extremely low: "Shaowei's mother and Gu Linsheng once had a child, and when they were pregnant in May, they accidentally lost it, and in five months, the child has been formed, and it is said that the flesh and blood are blurred when they are taken out. This matter was done secretly by the Empress Dowager, and Gu Linsheng also acquiesced. This incident hit her very hard, and it was also a hidden pain that she had been unable to speak. ”

Shen Hanxi was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Master Hou already knows about this matter?" ”

Marquis Dingyuan asked rhetorically: "Is there anything that my Mo family can't find out?" The muscles on his face trembled slightly, "At the beginning, it was Ben Hou who forcibly married her, and speaking of it, it was also Ben Hou's sin." She was right that none of us qualify as parents. ”

Shen Hanxi straightened his sleeves and didn't say anything immediately.

The grievances of the father's generation have carved so many painful marks on that child, and it is not easy for her to grow into such a clean and transparent person.

He suddenly asked, "The successive young masters of the Mo family have not had an easy life, right?" ”

Dingyuanhou's expression was a little ugly, and he said: "Shaoyuan's temperament is not stable enough, and he is sick, so he can't put such a burden on his head anymore, and he can only be wronged." ”

Shen Hanxi understood: "Well, too." In order to protect this daughter, Hou Ye actually has good intentions, ten years ago, the secret door of the Mo family was not completely obedient to you, you took great pains to invite Yin Xingyang, and it took several years to take the secret door to yourself, and now, you will give the secret door away. Raising her eyes, she said, "Mrs. Zun has not done nothing over the years, although she has been in retreat and chanting Buddha, she has always sent masters to stay by Shaowei's side. If my guess is correct, this Mr. Zhong is afraid that he has a better background than Yin Xingyang, right? ”

The old man, who had been standing on his side with his hands on his sleeve since just now, heard this, and said lightly: "The old slave is just a nameless person, how can you talk about Lord Shen's master?" ”

"If I remember correctly, although the Relief Pavilion was founded by the first head of the Mo family, it was handed over to a close friend to take care of it. It only took 20 years for this close friend to establish the status of the No. 1 in the rivers and lakes of the Worrying Pavilion, but at the height of the limelight, he passed the order of the pavilion master to Mrs. Mo, retired to the rivers and lakes, and there was no trace. Perhaps, this first pavilion master is still staying by the side of the new pavilion master at this time? ”

Zhong Bo just smiled and said, "It's possible." ”

Shen Hanxi no longer continued to pursue the root cause, his gaze returned to the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan, narrowed his slender eyes, and said, "Master Hou invited me here, it shouldn't be because he wants to chat with me." ”

Marquis Dingyuan stared at him for a long time before he said: "Shaowei will take over the Mo family sooner or later, but that should be ten or twenty years later, Ben Hou will try his best to hold on for a few more years, when he can't survive, you have to replace Ben Hou and protect her safety." ”
