Chapter 223: Exploration (5K, First Update)

In order to be with Xiangrong, King Zhao was willing to give up his status as a prince!

As a result, one turned into dust, the other escaped into the empty door, and heaven and man were separated forever!

It's really a trick......

Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but be even more sad, wiping her tears and said, "You two are so stupid......"

Old Man Zheng, who had been sitting silently next to him, was finally a little moved, shook his head and said, "Alas, you don't know how powerful this is, where is it okay for you to give up your status as a prince?" - Let me tell you! We couldn't find her at home at that time, and we didn't dare to tell anyone what was wrong, so we called her brothers to discuss with us. If others knew that the second girl of Zheng Guogong's Mansion was lost, she would have no face even if she came back, so she didn't dare to search for it with great fanfare. Later, we thought that she was the closest to her eldest sister, so we quickly ordered her eldest sister to be called back. As a result, her eldest sister helped us find a letter she had left behind in the Xiangrong house. ”

The Zheng family only had two daughters at that time, the eldest girl was Zheng Suxin, who was originally born by the Ye family, and the second girl was Zheng Xiangrong, who was born by the Kang family.

"Letter?!" King Zhao became excited, "Where?" What to say? ”

Old Man Zheng looked at Old Madam Zheng and seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Old Madam Zheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "The letter said that she did something sorry for us and had your child." For the sake of the child, she has to find an unknown place to hide and give birth to the child. Let's keep it a secret, saying that someone is chasing her and the child, and if others find out, the child will not survive. ”

At this time, King Zhao no longer had any doubts, and was sure that it was his child, and he couldn't help but mourn in his heart. "Why didn't she tell me? I'm desperate. will also protect her and the child! Then he asked, "Who is it?" Who will hunt her and the child? Am I causing them a problem? ”

King Zhao suspects that he is his eldest brother. The crown prince at that time, which is now Emperor Xia Qi.

At that time, they had been fighting openly and secretly. However, later he knew that if he wanted to accommodate "one corpse and two lives", he would no longer have the fighting spirit, he would have no love in life, and he was bent on seeking death, and it was the emperor's grandmother who exhausted the method, and later persuaded him to enter the empty door and become a monk to pray for the mother and son in the next life. He agreed, broke off his thoughts of death, and went to his mother's concubine to become a monk in the Jokhang Temple in Jiangzhou, Jiangnan, and went for ten years.

Old Man Zheng understood what he meant, thought about it, shook his head and said, "You forgot your ancestral teachings? The royal family and the people of the Four Great Princes cannot marry, and the most important purpose is not to let children who have the blood of the royal family and the Four Great Princes be born. For thousands of years, this has been the case. I don't know who is going to kill her and the child, but I do. Indeed, there are people who have been guarding this ancestral teaching. Once someone knows that the child in her womb is yours, she and the child will definitely not survive. So I just talked to her mother. And her eldest sister consulted, and sealed her yard overnight, and everyone confined her in the yard, saying that she was seriously ill and no one was allowed to visit, and only wanted to wait for her to give birth to the child. Her eldest sister told us not to worry, saying that she would contact her if she needed to. ”

"So, did Grandma Zheng know Xiangrong's whereabouts at that time?" King Zhao's eyes lit up, "Is that inviting Grandma Zheng to ask?" ”

Old Madam Zheng said sadly: "What else are you asking? Xiang Rong later sent several letters back, saying that her eldest sister hid her well. I waited for her to come back, but after ten months, Xiang Rong came back, and it was her eldest sister who sent her back. She was so thin that she was not human-shaped, she was dying, she couldn't move, she couldn't speak, she could only look at me with a pair of eyes. Thinking of the thoughts at that time, the pain that had been sealed in Mrs. Zheng's heart for so long finally couldn't be suppressed.

King Zhao stood up suddenly, "How can this be? ”

He remembered clearly that when he was waiting for him every day at the place where he wanted to have a tryst, the prince and the queen somehow learned about his love affair with Zheng Xiangrong, the second daughter of the Duke of Zheng Guo's mansion, and suddenly made trouble in the palace, so as to blackmail him and ask the emperor's grandmother to execute him, an unfilial son who did not respect the ancestral teachings......

The imperial grandmother was furious and could no longer shelter him, but she was still reluctant to punish him, but just locked him up and could not contact anyone.

When he came out a month later, he learned from the imperial grandmother that Xiang Rong had died a long time ago, and it was "one corpse and two lives", and even the body was cremated......

Of course, at that time, the Zheng Guogong Mansion and the Queen Mother suppressed this matter at the same time, and even the prince and the queen didn't know that Zheng Xiangrong and he also had a child.

The people of the Great Xia Dynasty only knew that their great writer, Zheng Xiangrong, had fallen seriously ill at a young age and died at the age of sixteen.

Although King Zhao was in pain at that time, he also knew that the truth of this matter could not be known to others.

Even though his heart was painful, he never told anyone about it, and in the end he chose to become a monk, quit the struggle for imperial power, and exiled himself completely. It wasn't until five years later, when he came to the capital to worship Xiangrong and was chased and killed by the prince and the queen's men, that he decided to regain his strength under the advice of the emperor's grandmother......

"What about the kids? She came back ten months later, she must have given birth, right? Did you bring the child back? King Zhao asked with hope in his eyes.

He always thought that he and the child he wanted to be stillborn......

Mrs. Zheng covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her fingers.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's gone, the child is gone. I want to have a dystocia and hemorrhage. Her eldest sister couldn't save her. Old Man Zheng sighed and said, "The child is gone, and she can't live anymore." She passed away a few days after her return. ”

The light in King Zhao's eyes gradually faded out, as if the starry sky was obscured by thick clouds, and he could no longer be seen.

"How so?" King Zhao muttered, "How can this be so ......?"

Seeing King Zhao's depressed appearance, Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but comfort him: "We are also at fault in this matter. You don't have to be too sad. If we had taken care of it at the beginning, she would not have concealed our willfulness and made this big mistake. ”

This mistake not only made Zheng Xiangrong be buried with him for the rest of his life, but also made the second prince depressed for life, the old man Zheng and the old lady Zheng were sad for a lifetime, and the relatives were happy and the enemies were happy.

King Zhao came back to his senses and pursed his lips, but he didn't agree with Old Madam Zheng's words, "No." It's not wrong. I don't regret it either. If you do it all over again. I don't want to be born in an imperial family. I just want to be with me. ”

Old Madam Zheng looked at him movingly, for the first time, she completely forgave this man.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Needless to say. You can welcome the tablet into the door this time, we have nothing more to ask for. When are you going to welcome her back? Old Man Zheng asked in a choked voice.

King Zhao said: "The sooner the better." Remembering his intentions, he asked, "It sounds like the child was born dead, but is it a man or a woman, and where is it buried?" ”

"What are you asking for?" Old Madam Zheng frowned, "That child died young." Do you still want to ......?"

According to the customs of the Great Xia Dynasty, children who died before their children were not on the genealogy and did not enter the ancestral grave.

"No matter what, that's me and Xiangrong's child, and my family tree always has to record her location." King Zhao stood up and stood on the ground facing Old Lady Zheng and Old Man Zheng, "Please tell me where my child is buried." ”

Old Madam Zheng glanced at Old Man Zheng and hesitated, "To be honest, we don't know if the child is male or female. And when I want to send it back. I couldn't move or speak. It's all from her eldest sister. ”

"Grandma Zheng again?" King Zhao's eyes flashed, "That is to say, from Xiang Rong's whereabouts, to sending Xiang Rong back later, and what happened to Xiang Rong in the past ten months, you all listened to Grandma Zheng?" ”

"Exactly." Old Madam Zheng nodded, "Thanks to her eldest sister looking for her everywhere and trying her best to hide it for her. Otherwise, there would have been no honor in the hearts of the world. ”

Indeed, Zheng Suxin kept this matter a secret and never told anyone.

Xiangrong has passed away for more than ten years, except for Old Man Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, as well as the imperial grandmother and himself, as well as Zheng Suxin, no one else knows that Zheng Xiangrong was unmarried and pregnant, and finally died in childbirth.

"In that case, then I can only go to the Wu Guogong Mansion again and ask Grandma Zheng whether my poor child is a man or a woman, and where she is buried." An obscure light flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he said to Old Man Zheng.

Old Madam Zheng stood up and said, "Su Xin is also sick." Yesterday in the Shengguo Mansion, I heard my granddaughter say that in the past few months, Frangipani has been good and bad, and when it is good, she can sit up and talk to people, and even get out of bed and walk around. When it was bad, he couldn't move, he couldn't speak, he couldn't see his eyes, and he even spat black blood in a big gulp. It's also a bad sound. The granddaughter begged the eldest girl of the Sheng family, hoping that she could help her beg her father Sheng Qiye to help her mother take a look. You also know that if there is a disease that Frangipani can't cure here, only Sheng Qiye can cure it. ”

I actually heard the eldest girl of the Sheng family from the mouth of Mrs. Zheng...... King Zhao's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "This eldest girl of the Sheng family, her name is Siyan, right?" ”

"Well, exactly. It's a great name, and I love it as soon as I hear it. Old Madam Zheng said with a smile, "And the eldest girl of the Sheng family laughed, which is really similar to our family's Xiangrong." Remembering the appearance of seeing the grand girl looking at the grand prince Zhou at the Shengguo Mansion yesterday, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but show a smile on her face.

It's exactly the same feeling as King Zhao!

King Zhao clenched his fists in his hands, trembling with excitement, "...... I also heard that the Sheng girl is not the biological son of the Sheng family couple, but ...... Be...... Is it true that you picked it up? ”

Old Madam Zheng didn't understand what King Zhao meant, she just shook her head and said, "I won't say this." People have already made a marriage, and there is no need to have side effects. β€”β€”Whether it's a succession or a pick-up, the gods don't care, what are we going to do to break up people? You weren't in the Shengguo Mansion yesterday, I saw the look in the eyes of the grand girl looking at the eldest prince of Zhou, and I thought about ...... Rong" Speaking of this, Old Madam Zheng suddenly closed her mouth and glanced at King Zhao with some weakness.

The starlight that had just dimmed under King Zhao's eyes lit up little by little, and he muttered, "It seems that I have to ask the Duchess of Sheng Guo ......."

Old Man Zheng heard what King Zhao meant, he stood up movingly, leaned forward, and asked excitedly, "Do you think...... The grand girl...... It's possible......? ”

"You feel the same way I do?" King Zhao was even more encouraged, "I saw her smiling in Dali Temple that day, just like seeing Xiangrong." And you think her name, Siyan. Acacia thoughts, face faces. Siyan, doesn't it mean the same as 'want to rong'?! ”

"Huh? Just the name? "Old Man Zheng thought that King Zhao had some conclusive evidence, but when he heard him say this, he felt that King Zhao was whimsical.

There are many similar names. Could it be that they are all related by blood?

"More than that. Think about the age of the grand girl...... Although I don't know her birth date. But I've also heard Wang Yixing say it. Miss Sheng is 14 years old this year. If my poor boy survives, it's that big......" King Zhao said excitedly, waving his arms.

Old Man Zheng and Old Madam Zheng glanced at each other, both a little speechless.

In their eyes, this man has really fallen into the devil for their daughter......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, I don't think it's too much fanfare about this. Old Man Zheng thought about it and solemnly advised King Zhao.

Why is that? If she is really my daughter and Xiang Rong. I ......" King Zhao suddenly understood what Old Man Zheng meant.

If it is really confirmed that Sheng Siyan is the daughter of him and Zheng Xiangrong, then Sheng Siyan can't even live, let alone get married.

"Since you care so much, I'll tell you too. The ancestral precepts of your royal family are much stricter than you think. Old Man Zheng said in a low voice, "You and the child you want to to, no matter who it is, you can't survive." Someone can't tolerate her. This is no ordinary struggle for power. Its consequences are much more serious than you know. So once you reveal that girl's life story to the world, if she is not you and the child you want to tolerate, it's fine. If she did, she wouldn't be alive right away. Not even the Divine General's Mansion could protect her. ”

King Zhao was stunned. "What you say is true?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your imperial grandmother." Old Man Zheng brought the tea, "That's all I say." You can welcome the tablet into the door, and those people probably won't stop it. Because they know that Xiang Rong has really passed away. ”

"Those people?" King Zhao heard something in Zheng Guogong's words, "Who are they?" Why can't they tolerate the fusion of the royal family and the royal palace to live in this world? ”

"I can't say that. Maybe your grandmother doesn't know everything. But Your Majesty, you should know. So, think about your own situation, and then think about if you and the child you want to be Rong are still alive, do you not recognize her and let her live happily in this world, or do you want to be at ease with yourself, you must recognize each other and put her to death? Old Man Zheng said sharply, and pointed out the benefits and disadvantages to King Zhao.

King Zhao pursed his lips and said resolutely: "I can disown her, but I must find out what is going on." He made up his mind to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Then you have to be careful." Old Man Zheng sent King Zhao out, "Your every move is watched by someone." Don't act rashly. ”

King Zhao nodded, "I know. This time it's for the sake of tolerance, and I'll be careful. ”

Old Man Zheng nodded and watched King Zhao go.

……

At the same time, in the pharmacy in the inner courtyard of the Shengguo Mansion.

In a white porcelain bowl on the medicine table was a bowl of white soup that had turned slightly yellow.

It looks slightly yellower than crucian carp soup.

But the medicinal herbs put in it are enough to make Niu Xiaoye fat back to his original appearance in a certain period of time.

Of course, Sheng Siyan can also increase the amount of some medicines, so that she will gain weight again soon.

But that's a little too obvious.

This matter must be done unknowingly, and Niu Xiaoye must not be aware that it has something to do with her......

Sheng Siyan thought about it, and then went to the cabinet in the back room to take out a wooden box.

This is the bird's nest sent by the world pharmacy to replenish her and Wang's body.

She opened the box and looked at it, and there were a hundred golden silk white bird's nests in complete shapes, white as jade, without any impurities.

It would be a waste to use such bird's nest as a "bait......

Sheng Siyan shook his head, closed the lid, put it back, and then took another box out.

The quality of the bird's nest in this box is obviously not as good as the box just now.

There are almost no complete shapes of bird's nests in it, they are all bird's nest horns, bird's nest skins and bird's nest powders that were accidentally torn during picking, and the color is not pure white, some are white, some are yellow, and there is a little red.

This one is pretty much the same.

Sheng Siyan took out this box, took a few pieces of swallow horn and soaked them in the medicine she had just decocted.

After watching the swallow horn soften and the medicine seep in, she took out the swallow horn and put it on the table where the herbs were dried, and put the soaked swallow horn on it to dry.

The winter sun is not warm enough, and the people in the pharmacy are all under the table with a stove and smoke directly.

Sheng Siyan also has such a stove here.

She turned on a small fire with the stove and watched as the medicated horns were dried before removing them and putting them back in the box.

By the time Zhou Huaixuan took Zhou Xianbai to the Shengguo Mansion, she had already made more than two catties of swallow horns like this.

"That's what you're going to prepare?" Zhou Huaixuan looked at the pile of Yan Jiao, which was still in good condition, and shook his head with his hands behind his back.

Sheng Siyan smiled: "Brother Zhou, don't look down on them. I thought about it all night before I came up with this trick. ”

"And then?" Zhou Huaixuan turned his head to look at Sheng Siyan, "Give it to Niu Xiaoye?" ”

"Send? She thinks beautifully......" Sheng Siyan glanced at Zhou Huaixuan, "Of course you have to buy it with silver." ”

She and Niu Xiaoye have been good friends for a few years, and she knows no less about Niu Xiaoye than Niu Xiaoye knows about her.

It's just that she had never thought of doing such a thing to a friend before.

But it doesn't matter now, Niu Xiaoye is not her friend, but her enemy.

She didn't take revenge on her, she just took back the "kindness" that her family had given her before.
