Chapter 568: Back then
This sudden question, Rao is simple and white has always been deeply favored by the Queen Mother, and she can't help but feel creepy!
He was stunned for a moment before he got up and left the bed, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice: "Why did the imperial grandmother say this? I dare not say that I am completely selfless, but I have never thought of usurping the throne! The reason why he supports His Royal Highness King Su's ascension to the throne is not only because he is worried about his second aunt, but also because His Royal Highness King Su has the qualifications of a Ming monarch and can succeed the divine martial arts of the first emperor! β
He took a deep breath and knocked heavily on the ground, "I never thought of betraying the Lu clan!" β
"Good boy, the mourning family just asks like this, why do you want to be so serious?" The Empress Dowager looked at him with complicated eyes, leaned over to help him, and sighed, "The mourning family naturally believes in you, but the mourning family doesn't understand Duanmu Song more and more...... That's what your grandmother thought! β
She laughed and said, "Since you don't want to be an emperor at allβwhy would she have to kill them all like this?!" β
Jian Xubai was shocked when he heard this, his mind was racing, and he suddenly understood the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words, and took a deep breath to maintain the stability of his tone: "The emperor's grandmother said ...... What about Weixi? β
"If the old lady of Wutuno Mu secretly helped, relying on the unsuspecting 'Biwu' alone, it was possible to hide him for a while, how could he be sent out of the city so smoothly?" The Empress Dowager looked at the heroic grandson in front of her, when the child was sent to her, it was not much higher than the brocade couch she was sitting on now, and she could only hold her knees by raising her hand, and the snow ball was a little bigger, lying in front of her, blinking her big eyes like black grapes, and shouting "Imperial Grandmother" in a milky voice;
In the blink of an eye, things are not in people, and the once pink makeup and jade have become metallographic jade, and he has become a father...... Thinking of the years when her grandparents and grandchildren were dependent on each other, her heart was sour and astringent.
After squeezing her fists quietly and suppressing her intense emotions, the Empress Dowager said slowly, "Ah Xu, the mourning family knows that the mother and son of the mourning family can't stand you, but the Jin Kingdom didn't mean it back then, she was also deceived by the villain Jian Likuang - over the years, the Jin Kingdom, the first emperor and even the mourning family have been trying their best to make up for it...... Although I know how to make up for it, your biological mother Yishui will not survive......"
The tears in the Empress Dowager's eyes gradually slipped, and she choked up, "But now that the royal family has made such a fuss, Duanmu her...... Can't she show mercy and give the Lu family a way to live?! β
"......" Jian Xubai knelt in front of her in a daze, his thin lips opened slightly, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice, "Lord Yishui, is it...... Is it my biological mother? β
In fact, after Song Yixiao heard the news from Yuan Xuepei before, she had already told him.
Therefore, Jian Xubai has already made psychological preparations for the fact that he is not the biological son of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and it sounds like he shouldn't be so out of shape at this moment.
However, the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words is as if the death of the lord of Yishui is related to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom?
Doesn't this mean that he has respected and admired his mother-killing enemy as his biological mother all these years?!
"I remember that my father has always been very cold to my second aunt, and even since I can remember, even during the New Year, he has never been to the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom!" At this moment, Jian Xubai's heart was racing, "And the second aunt has never been angry with her father because of this, and the attitude she occasionally reveals seems to be quite tolerant of her father......"
Of course, the relationship between an uncle and sister-in-law in an ordinary family is wrong, but because the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom openly raises her face in the mansion, and also raises a "righteous girl" Nie Wuying, and Jian Limiao is a beautiful man who can be called the world's first-class beauty in terms of appearance and bearing, he does not go to the mansion of his brother and sister-in-law, but he seems to be upright and avoids suspicion.
And the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has never talked about her little uncle publicly, and when she shows her jealousy and concession to this little uncle, she is always in private, in front of her own children - her children dare not say it, but in her heart she only says that her mother is either "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade", or has other plans.
In short, including Jian Xubai, he suspected that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom had an affair with Jian Limiao, but he never expected that there was a hatred between this uncle and sister-in-law who killed his wife!
If that's the case......
So how should Jian Xubai, who has been raised and favored by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the mother and daughter of the Empress Dowager for many years, face this enmity? !
Jane's mind went blank.
"The mourning family didn't want to tell you, before Yishui died, Jin Guo knelt on the foot pedal and asked her wish, she said...... She said that she hopes that you will be happy in this life, and you don't want to know the messy things of the previous generation, and you can be carefree for a lifetime, even if you are a gentleman who does not do business all day long! The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to caress his face, her eyes full of tears and remorse, "Later, the Jin Kingdom held your swaddling clothes, took a sword across his neck, and forced the mourning family and the first emperor to swear that she must fulfill her promise to Yishui!" β
"In fact, even if the Jin Kingdom didn't do that at that time, the mourning family and the first emperor were ready to agree to Yishui!"
"But the mourning family still broke their promise now......"
"The mourning family used to think that the people and things that the mourning family couldn't live up to in those years can be compensated for by you......"
"It wasn't until last night that the mourning family found out...... After all, the mourning family still can't stand you!! β
The Empress Dowager cried loudly - even if it was because of guilt, because of her daughter's request, and for various reasons, she raised Jian Xubai under her knees and regarded her as her grandson, but after many years, how could she not be sincere?
What's more, Jian Xubai was originally the grandchild expected by the old people all over the world: handsome, mild-tempered, well-behaved, full of trust and filial piety to the elders...... The Queen Mother watched such a child grow up in front of her, and her heart was not touched?
But now, she wants to personally destroy this relationship accumulated over the years, "Decades ago, the Mourning family was far from being your real grandmother Duanmu Song's opponent; As for now, the mourning family is even more defeated - now the only thing that can make Duanmu Song stop is Ah Xu, Ah Xu, the mourning family begs you, thinking about the mourning family's support and maintenance of you over the years, persuade her to stop, and give the Lu family a way to live, okay? ! β
Every word the Empress Dowager said, it was like a knife, piercing each other's chests alive, "Originally, the Su family won a complete victory last night, although the emperor, the crown prince, and King Liang couldn't keep it, but this battle for the throne that has lasted for several years can finally be settled!" β
"In this way, even if the royal family is thin, the king of Su, the king of Shu, and the king of Xiang are all young, and after a few years, they will be able to prosper if they want to."
"The same is true of the world......
"But Duanmu Song deliberately helped Weixi escapeβoutside the city are He Wenqiong's henchmen, as well as the ...... of the King of Shu."
"The original court dispute has become a war against each other in a blink of an eye!"
"If one is not good, it will make Darui turn from prosperity to decline!"
"And the descendants of the Lu family, now they can be counted on one hand-Duanmu Song, is this the descendant who plans to completely destroy Wu'er Xianjia?!"
More than 20 years ago, when the Chengyang Palace collapsed, watching the "Sister Weiyue", who had always been elegant and noble, fall into the dust with her husband, the Empress Dowager showed her goodwill, but there was no secret joy and happiness in her heart: it was a sense of accomplishment that began when she was a teenager and was a peer who had been high up, but she was prostrate at her feet.
But her conscience made her feel guilty from the bottom of her heart, after all, Mrs. Yan Guotai, Duanmu Chong, was also the female companion of their group who grew up together.
Once when the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia needed the support of Mrs. Duanmu, the Empress Dowager once held the hand of Mrs. Duanmu, crying and remembering each other's youth, and swore that one day Emperor Xianjia ascended the throne, he would definitely avenge Duanmu Chong, return the identity of Jian Li Miao is Jian Pingyu's only original concubine, and cut the slut who stole the position of Duanmu Chong's main room, and also stole the identity of Duanmu Chong's son, and even wanted her son to occupy Duanmu Chong's dowry! ! !
Jian Pingyu, a person with a weak heart, used all the painful punishments in the world - at that time, the Empress Dowager said so really, so ruthlessly and so unforgettable, in exchange for the full assistance of Jinxiutang, and all the conveniences of the identity of the old lady Duanmu as the cousin-in-law of Shentu Guifei.
If Emperor Xianjia ascended the throne, the biggest hero on the surface is the Su family, then the biggest hero in the secret must be Mrs. Duanmu - in order to avenge her compatriot sister, to seek justice for her nephew, and to take revenge on the selfish Shentu concubine, the old lady Duanmu can be said to have sold the entire husband's family and the Shentu family to Emperor Xianjia!
However, the recognized Emperor Xianjia, after ascending the throne, the first thing he did was to break his promise.
He did not avenge the old lady Duanmu, and even reused Jian Pingyu for a time;
He later did not fulfill his promise to the Su family, and appointed the biological son of the Empress Dowager Su as the prince.
At that time, although he lingered on the sickbed, he relied on his wrist and the city government to make the two people who were severely cheated by him, in a sense, who had been pit for a lifetime, dare not speak out.
It's a pity that he has been sick for so many years, and it is finally time to die - he thinks that he has left enough backhands and auxiliaries for his prince, and the young new monarch will definitely be able to continue his glory.
However, the fact is that Emperor Duanhua's reputation has been ruined, and the Lu royal family has to continue to meet the angry pursuit of the Su family and Old Lady Duanmu.
The Empress Dowager knew that her mother and son were not at all reasonable, and they used sweet words and promises in exchange for the top glory and dignity in the world, but after gaining power, they abandoned the greatest hero, so that the world was full of recitations of their wisdom and destiny, and completely erased the sacrifices of those who paid.
Now that those who have been let down and deceived are making a comeback, it is only natural that they will get back what they deserve.
But for the sake of the Lu family, after many years, she once again lost her conscience and stared at the man in front of her knees, her tone was desolate and painful, but her eyes were full of expectation, "I have raised you for many years, and I have always regarded you as my grandson." But Ah Xu, the mourning family is still ...... after all Still can't let go of the Lu family...... The mourning family didn't know if Duanmu Song did this just to avenge Xianjia's broken promise to her back then, or to ...... To pave the way for you! β
"But since you don't want to be the emperor - then the mourning family begs you, you go and persuade Duanmu Song's subordinates to show mercy...... Good no good?! β
She understands the child she raised single-handedly, even if Jian Xubai already understands the hatred between each other, he will probably not refuse......
It seems that thousands of years and just a moment, Jian Xubai seems to be slightly shaking, looking at it, but it is clear that he is still kneeling like a wood carving, no expression, no anger, only instinctive interface, "Then are you...... Tell me about the events of the year, my real life experience, from beginning to end? β
He stared at the embroidery on the placket of the Empress Dowager's clothes, but he didn't see anything, and only said blankly, "Otherwise, how do I know how to persuade my grandmother after seeing it?" β
