Chapter 26: Heartache

Qin Mingyue was a little embarrassed: "You know that I never cared about money before. As a result, I was constrained by money at every turn. In life, in the court, many things are actually decided by money. It's a pity that I didn't understand it in my previous life. ”

"In this life, I realized this mistake, so I thought more about money. It's a bit cheesy. ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "How is this cheesy? In my previous life, I didn't value money, you know that. However, how much did I lose because of my money? Therefore, in this life, I was able to have a brocade building early, but it earned me a lot of money. He also made a few mines in Miaojiang, producing gold, silver and jade. Makes a lot of money. After I have money, it is much easier for me to do things, where is it cheesy? People who don't value money are cheesy, which can only be said to be fake and high. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled: "Yes, you are right, the more people who don't value money, the more fake and high." You must know that people are inseparable from money in this life. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, where is the support of less money? ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "In this life, after I became rich, I changed a lot of things. For example, I was in the palace and bought and trained a large number of people. I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to keep my mother safe and get some news. In my previous life, I never cultivated my own power, and the result? My mother gave birth to my younger brother, and in the womb, he was poisoned, and my brother was born in poor health. ”

Later, he was killed. After my brother died, my mother was greatly traumatized mentally and physically. And I never knew who the killer was. Later, my second brother came to power. He's on top, and I'm on top. However, in the harem, Concubine Li Xian, at that time, should be the Empress Dowager Li, and she actually persecuted my mother. Later, I got angry and went to find my second brother, but for the sake of face, for the sake of chilling the hearts of the people who followed him, and for the sake of the throne that he had not yet secured, he reluctantly agreed to let my mother concubine go to live in my palace. ”

"However, at that time, I was a powerless prince, and I had no connections, so I couldn't find a big country to treat my mother, and I didn't have any natural treasures for my mother. I can only watch that my mother's health is getting worse and worse, and I can only watch the imperial doctors, who are not very careful to recuperate my mother's body. In the end, my mother went. ”

"At the time, you know, how much I regretted it? Do you know how sad I was at the time? ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but bow her head and said, "I know, you were very sad at that time. I've also visited you at your house. It's just that I didn't expect that Concubine Li's mother was born for so many reasons. I just thought she wasn't in good health. I took it for granted. ”

Xiao Rui said: "At that time, you comforted me, but I didn't get happy. For you do not know these things, nor do you know who killed my mother? Actually, I didn't know it at the time. Later, the two of us quarreled again. I got angry and went again. This time, I got some money outside, and when I came back, I found some people in the palace, bribed them, and asked them, but I got some unexpected news. ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly asked, "What news?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "I know that at that time, when my mother was pregnant, the people who poisoned my mother were several palace people around my mother, and they were instructed by Queen Yang and Concubine Li Xian. Therefore, my mother's health was very bad at that time, and the doctor couldn't cure it, because the two poisons were entangled, which complicated my mother's condition. ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "It's Empress Yang, I know." It is not the first time that Empress Yang has mutilated a pregnant concubine in the harem. But, Concubine Li Xian, how is it possible? ”

Xiao Rui's eyes were red: "Yes, Concubine Li Xian, she is a virtuous concubine, and her reputation for virtue has been around for a long time." Moreover, at that time, in the harem, Empress Yang was huge, and as a last resort, Concubine Li Xian and my mother formed an alliance to fight against Empress Yang's persecution. This is not a one-year or two-year alliance, but an alliance that lasts for more than ten years. Therefore, my second brother and I are more intimate. The two of us grew up together. I have existed as the second brother's little tail for a long time. With such a relationship, how could I have thought that among the people who harmed my mother, there was actually Concubine Li Xian? ”

Qin Mingyue was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you think that in the previous life, the final victor of the palace fight, Concubine Li Xian, isn't it that simple?" She can defeat Queen Yang, how can she not harm your mother, when I heard you say it just now, I thought it was incredible. However, later, thinking about Concubine Li Xian's various behaviors in her previous life, she was indeed a hard-hearted and ruthless person, the Li family was so low-key at the beginning, but wasn't she also very arrogant later? However, there is no arrogance of Su Liuli's family. ”

However, in her previous life, Concubine Li Xian's final ending was not very good. The victor of the palace fight during the Changping Emperor period was finally defeated by his son's favorite concubine Su Liuli. Su Liuli didn't give Concubine Li Xian less back then, and didn't make trouble for Empress Dowager Li. Finally, Empress Dowager Li's death is not clear. I suspect many times that Empress Dowager Li was killed by Su Liuli, but I didn't find any evidence. ”

Xiao Rui said: "At that time, I found evidence that could prove that Empress Dowager Li was killed by Su Liuli. This was discovered by accident when I was looking for an opportunity to avenge Empress Dowager Li and my mother. It's a pity that at that time, I had good martial arts, I also had some connections in the rivers and lakes, and I had accumulated some money, but it was still far from enough to use these to deal with the queen mother. Just when I felt powerless, the Empress Dowager Li died inexplicably. After investigation, I learned that it was Su Liuli who killed him. You say, should I thank Su Liuli? ”

Qin Mingyue was stunned for a while: "You actually found evidence?" Then why don't you give it to me? Why not publish it in the world? ”

Xiao Rui said angrily: "At that time, although you and Hua Yixuan turned their faces and had a bad relationship, you were still very loyal to my second brother, what's the use of me telling you this?" Have you fought with He Xiang and Su Liuli all day long? Their own lives are in their hands. ”

"At that time, I was announced to the world, is it useful? My second brother, as the emperor and as the son of the Empress Dowager Li, doesn't admit it, so what can the evidence be? My second brother was so fond of Su Liuli at that time? For the anger and resentment she made, what is this trivial matter? ”

Qin Mingyue thought of the things in her previous life, and couldn't help but feel that what Xiao Rui said was very right. Ban Xiang said: "Forget it, it's all things that haven't happened yet." Let's not dwell on it. In this life, it is good for us to take good care of the people around us. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "You are right. That's what I thought, too. ”
