Chapter 77: Concubine Qiong

Chinese Lou Yue rode back to the other garden on horseback, and pushed open Su Liuying's door in a hurry.

However, the room was empty, and there was a little figure of Su Liuying. In an instant, Lou Yue's heart was as empty as this empty room...... She is obviously out of the palace, where did she go if she was not in the other garden?

I couldn't see Su Liuying in the other garden, and Lou Yue's heart that had just been put down was brought up again, and I was anxious where did Su Liuying go?

At the same time, Emperor Hui Cheng suddenly agreed to let her go, and his heart became more and more full of doubts...... He asked Nanshan to take the shadow guards of the Lou family to scatter around the capital to look for Su Liuying, and he even looked for the places where Su Liuying might go...... The abandoned house in the south courtyard of the Su family, the Xiaonanli he took her to, the inn restaurant on the long street...... However, I searched all the inns on the street from late at night until late at night, and I couldn't find Su Liuying.

It seemed that overnight, she suddenly disappeared from here, and she was never seen again. Later, the more flustered Lou Yue became, and the more he understood that Emperor Huicheng's promise to let Su Liuying go, it would definitely not be so simple.

Nanshan came back from the palace and told Lou Yue that Su Liuying left the palace at that time, but she left with Mama Lan.

Hearing this, Lou Yue's expression was relieved, and he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to find Mama Lan's address outside the palace.

He knew Mama Lan's love for Su Liuying before. So when he heard that she was leaving the palace with Mama Lan, his heart instantly relaxed.

He thought that since Su Liuying left the palace with Mama Lan, she must also stay with Mama Lan now.

As long as you find Mama Lan, you can find her! Lou Yue's anxious heart relaxed for a moment, and he couldn't help but be physically and mentally exhausted after looking for it in the middle of the night.

There may still be drugs left in his body, and his head is still dizzy from time to time. Nanshan persuaded him to go back to his house to rest.

And the old lady Lou of the palace also heard about what happened in the palace today, and after learning that Lou Yue fainted on the spot, she was worried about his body, and sent several groups of people to urge him to return to the house, so that the house doctor could help him take a good look at his body in order to rest assured.

But Lou Yue refused to go back to the palace and insisted on going to the other garden - what if Su Liuying went back to the other garden and couldn't see him?

As soon as he returned to the other garden, Nanshan went to call Xue Nianlai to check Lou Yue's body, but was stopped by him. He said coldly

"I'll just rest for a while, and I don't need to alarm him in the middle of the night." Nanshan didn't think so, thinking that he had fainted in the Scarlet Palace for no reason before, and his heart was stunned.

He knows the body and bones of the prince and has always been good, but today he fainted for no reason, and he was in a coma for so long, can Nanshan not worry?

But Lou Yue knew what was going on with her fainting in her heart, so she didn't let Nanshan call Xue Nian, and she lay down on the soft couch in front of the window of Su Liuying's house, but her eyes were always staring at the bed she had slept on, and her heart was full of her appearance...... Although Su Liuying has only lived in this house for one night, in Lou Yue's heart, she seems to have lived here all her life, and her shadow is everywhere in the house.

However, at this moment, Nanshan came in from outside with a solemn face and handed him the two picture scrolls in his hand, but it was the shadow guard who had investigated Concubine Qiong and Su Liuying Ah Niang before that there was news.

Some eagerly opened the picture scroll brought back by the shadow guard, and when he saw the people on the two portraits, Lou Yue's heart was shocked, and his eyes became deeper and deeper - the two have exactly the same life experience, and the portrait is the same person.

There is no suspense, Su Liuying's mother is Concubine Qiong Niangniang nineteen years ago. Looking at the portrait in front of him fixedly, Lou Yue's brows tightened more and more, and a trace of panic surged in his heart - he had already guessed that Su Taishou's death was inseparable from Concubine Qiong's 'rebirth'.

Let's ask, what will happen to a courtier who marries the emperor's favorite concubine? If this is the case, and Su Taishou died because of this incident, then what kind of blow will such a truth be to Su Liuying, who has been looking for her father's case?

Worried that Su Liuying didn't know where she went, and still thinking about Concubine Qiong, Lou Yue was destined to fall asleep again this night.

Also unable to sleep is Su Liuying. Not long after the carriage of the merchant group left the city, Su Liuying asked the coachman to stop and got off the horse alone.

She knew that Lou Yue would definitely chase after her, however, she was ordered to leave the capital and go back to Bianzhou, if he insisted on staying with him, he would be disobeying the order!

Since she wants to leave here, leaving everyone and everything here, Su Liuying doesn't want to leave a trace of concern.

As if she had never been back a year ago...... After getting out of the car, she found a mother-in-law's house who lived alone in the village on the side of the road, gave her two taels of silver, and asked her to take her in for two days.

The mother-in-law was glad to keep her. On the twenty-second day of the first month, early in the morning, Su Liuying borrowed a pot stove from the mother-in-law, cooked a few Bianzhou side dishes in person, and then bought paper money, incense and candles, carried them in baskets, and went to the mountains in the north of Beijing.

Today is Daddy's death day, Su Liuying took Daddy's ashes bamboo tube to worship Daddy on the mound built for Daddy back then.

At the beginning of spring, the snow on the roadside gradually melts, and the dead trees begin to pull out new branches, and the weather is still cold, but the wind blowing on the face is not as harsh as in winter.

Because Su Jin was removed from the family tree by the Su family that year, and he could not be buried in the Su family cemetery after his death, Su Liuying buried Daddy's clothes and crown mound in the north of Beijing, from there, you can look at Bianzhou in the north.

Buried with him, there is also the grave of Su Liuying and Li A-Niang. The Hu Di people only do burials, so after A-Niang died, she couldn't take her cremation with her and bring it back to Bianzhou, so she could only leave A-Niang here alone, and built a mound of A-Niang to accompany her...... When she returned to Bianzhou this time, she was afraid that she would not come back again in this life, so today is also the last time she will worship A-Niang.

The mountain road was rugged, and as she walked all the way, Su Liuying's mind was full of the scenes of Daddy's birthday before his death.

At that time, their family of three was in Bianzhou, and every time Daddy's birthday was the most lively day in the family.

She still remembers that when she was a child, on Daddy's birthday, Auntie would happily dance a Hu Xuan dance for Daddy to celebrate Daddy.

When she grows up, this cheerful dance will be danced by her and Auntie for Daddy. Every time Daddy is very happy, while watching them dance, he gulps the apricot blossom stuffed for him by Auntie, and he has to get drunk every time before he stops...... Every year on Daddy's birthday, she will pestering Daddy to take her to ride a horse, teach her those exquisite equestrian skills, and take her to gallop on the vast desert.

When she grew up, she changed to horse racing with Daddy to see who would reach the high Qishan Mountain first, but Daddy would deliberately let her win every time...... The past is vivid, and it seems to be a matter of the previous life, too far away from her...... Getting closer and closer to Daddy and Auntie's grave, Su Liuying inadvertently looked up and saw a figure flashing quickly in front of Daddy's grave!

The terrain here is remote, and there are few people around, so how can anyone appear in front of Daddy's grave? Su Liuying's heart swelled with doubts, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps and rushed towards Daddy's grave, and when she saw it, she was even more surprised!

In front of Daddy's grave, there were offerings for worship. There is only one sacrifice, but there is no one in front of A-Niang's grave.

couldn't help but wonder in her heart, and when she saw the sacrifice clearly, her expression was even more surprised - the sacrificial vegetables and fruits placed in front of Daddy's grave were from Bianzhou and Beijing, but all of them were Daddy's favorite food before his death.

Looking at everything in front of him, Su Liuying's heart shook - who is it? Who is worshipping at Daddy's grave?

The next moment, when she came back to her senses, she chased down the mountain by the path. She just looked at it from afar, but she saw a dark shadow, but she didn't even see whether it was a man or a woman, but her intuition was that this person seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

Doubts arose in her heart, Su Liuying hurriedly chased down, but on the other hand, she thought about the people who knew Daddy in Beijing in her heart, but she couldn't think of anyone else who would come to worship Daddy on Daddy's death day.

It is impossible for the Su family to come, and Daddy's former friends, like Li Zhizhi and others, were too late to hide after Daddy's accident, and no one showed up at all.

So, who will be the people who are familiar with Daddy's preferences and come to worship Daddy? However, she chased all the way to the foot of the mountain, but she did not find the black shadow of Fang Cai.

I was extremely disappointed in my heart, and there was endless confusion piled up in my heart, and finally I returned to the grave of my father and aunt with a stomach full of confusion.

Her eyes looked around the grave, and this time, she had made a bigger discovery. In the previous three years, she was far away in Beixian and could not worship her parents, but the most recent worship was before she returned to Beijing and entered the palace last year.

And after a year, the front and even the surroundings of Daddy and Auntie's grave are neat and clean. It stands to reason that a grave like Daddy and Auntie, buried in the mountains, has long been overgrown with weeds and dead branches after a year.

But the grave of Daddy and Auntie was clean, except for a few dead leaves blown by the wind, there was not a single weed, and it was obvious that someone had bothered to take care of it.

Doubts surged in her heart, Su Liuying's eyes fell on the wine bottle in front of the tombstone, and she hesitantly picked it up and put it in her nose to sniff.

The next moment, her hand shook, and the wine bottle almost knocked over from her hand - the wine in the wine bottle turned out to be Daddy's favorite apricot blossom brew!

As far as she knows, apricot blossom brewing is produced in the northwest. Because the entrance is dry and spicy, and the stamina is large, it is not liked by the people of the Central Plains, so the apricot blossom brew is not common in the Central Plains.

Looking at these father's favorite drinks and dishes in front of him, Su Liuying's chaotic mind had a bright light flashing, and the doubts in her heart became thicker and thicker, and she completely fell into confusion...... The sacrifices brought were placed in front of her father's grave, and Su Liuying knelt down, and before she could speak, tears had already flowed first.

"Daddy, today is your birthday, Firefly is not filial, she only made you a simple and crude meal......"

"Auntie, can you dance for Daddy today...... Do you remember to advise Daddy to drink less......"

"Daddy, Firefly is useless, it's been four years...... It's been four years and I haven't figured out your grievances...... But Hotaru can't stay and avenge your grievances......"

"Firefly is leaving, leave here and take Daddy back to Bianzhou...... Daddy, are you happy? Can't you let go of A-Niang and stay here alone...... I can't bear to ...... Niang."

"In this life, Firefly will never come back here again, and she will never see A-Niang again...... Auntie, Firefly should have left Daddy here to accompany you, but ...... The capital is Daddy's sad place, Daddy is an eagle, Firefly thought, he prefers the vast sky in the northwest, so, don't blame me...... "The silent mountain, the mountain wind blew, with a slight whimper, as if crying with Su Liuying.

In the dense forest not far from the tomb, Xiao Mo leaned on a high branch in a dark purple brocade robe, his soul-like peach blossom eyes looked at Su Liuying, who was crying heartbroken on the grave, and his slender long eyebrows frowned slightly.

The intermittent sobbing sound of Su Liuying sent by the wind, and the words she said to her father and mother also fell into Xiao Mo's ears.

Looking at her now, Xiao Mo couldn't connect her with the high-spirited little girl who was holding a fiery red horsewhip before.

At that time, she was dazzling and uninhibited, like a man, galloping in front of him on a horse, and her hearty and cheerful laughter made him envious as a man.

But now, after four years of not seeing, in addition to her appearance, she is simply a different person, and she can no longer find the appearance of the past.

The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for Xiao Mo to think about what kind of ordeal it has been in the past four years that has sharpened the once sunny girl into such a desperate and gloomy appearance now...... Xiao Mo's eyes were slightly raised, but the face of Jun, who had always been cynical, was rarely solemn...... And immersed in grief, Su Liuying didn't know that someone was watching her.

Getting up, she wiped away her tears, looked at her right hand, which couldn't move, and smiled bitterly

"Ah Niang, Firefly hasn't danced the Hu Xuan dance you taught me for four years. But the parting is imminent, and it is Daddy's taboo, and my daughter wants to jump to show you. After that, she closed her eyes, and a cheerful dance music sounded in her head, but in front of her, there was the loving smiling face of Daddy and Auntie.

The left hand slowly drew a graceful arc on its side, the toes stood high, and the delicate body swirled and danced from slow to fast, like a flying fairy!

There is no music, plus she has an injury on her body, her right hand can't move, and four years of rustiness, this Hu Xuan dance is destined to be less amazing than the four front Yunmeng platform, but it still makes Xiao Mo, who was lazily leaning on the tree, sit up straight in an instant!

Hu Xuanqu originated from Hu Di, it can be said that Xiao Mo saw it since he was a child, and it can be seen at Hu Di's big and small banquets every year.

And Hu Di's dancing queen is famous all over the world, so Xiao Mo has seen many brilliant Hu Xuan dances!

But today, in front of this silent and desolate mountain tomb, Su Liuying's dance shocked Xiao Mo extraordinarily!

If it weren't for the two women who were quietly hiding behind the rocks on the other side, Xiao Mo would have taken out the flute on his body to accompany her, and the flute dance was blended!

From Su Liuying up the mountain, Xiao Mo followed her, or rather, from the moment she was brought into the palace of King An by Lou Yue, Xiao Mo followed her.

To be precise, Xiao Mo discovered her when he was following Lou Yue. Therefore, from the time she was later led out of the palace by Mama Lan, to the post station, and then to her getting off the bus out of the city, Xiao Mo knew everything.

And the black shadow that Su Liuying saw in front of the grave before was hiding behind the rocks a few steps away from her, but unfortunately she didn't know, and ran down the mountain in a hurry to chase her, seeing that Xiao Mo was funny and secretly laughed at her stupid.

He didn't know what the relationship between the two women who didn't leave and Su Liuying, and he couldn't see their appearances clearly, both of them covered their faces with veils, and when Su Liuying cried in front of the grave before, the woman also hid behind the rocks and covered her mouth and cried heartbreakingly.

There is no need to guess, Xiao Mo knows that there is a story in between. Therefore, he did not show that he was alarmed, and found a high branch to rest comfortably, but his heart was pulled by Su Liuying's cry, which made him feel inexplicably sad...... Originally, he just followed Su Liuying up the mountain, wondering what she was going to do for the two days she was staying for, but he didn't expect her to come to worship her parents, and he didn't expect that he wanted to see her dance Hu Xuan Dance, but he saw it here.

I was very proud and satisfied, Xiao Mo's slender long legs hung in the air, dangling with his hand, and he raised his hand to support his jaw and watched it with relish.

However, in the next moment, his face suddenly changed. Hesitantly looking back, it was a clear spring day, and the bright sun was suddenly obscured by dark clouds.

No, it's not a dark cloud, it's a dense feather! The reaction of his body was faster than the thought in his mind, and Xiao Mo rushed desperately towards Su Liuying, who was still unconscious on the grave, but he pulled out the sword at his waist.

However, the arrow feather came too quickly in the end, and before Xiao Mo could go to the rescue, the arrow feather was already speeding towards Su Liuying.

"Hotaru...... Be careful! At the last moment, the woman behind the stone pounced, and after a heart-rending shout, the woman threw Su Liuying down before the arrows arrived, and the arrows were nailed into her body...... When she heard the familiar 'Firefly', Su Liuying was shocked on the spot, thinking that she had auditory hallucinations.

Before she could react, her body had been pounced, and countless arrow feathers flashing with cold light slashed in front of her eyes, and at that moment, she seemed to have returned to the assassination at the foot of Anguosi Mountain!

Frightened and desperate, she watched as the woman who suddenly appeared and threw herself down. In the next second, the veil on the woman's face slipped off, and A-Niang's familiar face suddenly appeared in front of her.

Su Liuying's whole body trembled, thinking that she was in a dream, and muttered in disbelief

"A-Niang...... Is it really you? Without waiting for Qiong's answer, Xiao Mo, who had already swung his sword to help them block the rain of arrows, shouted urgently

"Hide behind rocks!" Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, Su Liuying came back from the shock, and her hand touched the warm blood that snaked out of A-Niang's body, and immediately understood that everything in front of her was real, she was not an illusion, A-Niang was really not dead!

But she didn't have time to rejoice, she had realized something, her face turned pale, and she immediately struggled to get up and helped A-Niang to hide behind the rocks.

There was another person running out from behind the rocks, and it was Mama Lan. Mama Lan stepped forward to help the dying Qiong hide behind the rocks, and cried as she looked at the Qiong who was hit by several arrows

The sound of "Niangniang ......" shocked Su Liuying again! Qiong's helped Su Liuying block the deadly arrow, and this life could not be saved.

Allure's face, which was very similar to Su Liuying, was pale and bloodless, and blood gushed out from the place where the sharp arrow pierced her back, but at this time, Qiong's face was smiling with relief, and her faint eyes looked at her most beloved daughter reluctantly.

"Hotaru...... A-Niang lied to you four years ago...... A-Niang is not dead, she is alive...... Please forgive me. "Outside are dense arrow feathers and fierce black-clothed assassins, but in front of me is Ah Niang, who has been dead for four years, or the 'Niangniang' in Mama Lan's mouth...... And in order to save her, it was too late to reunite, and A-Niang was dying and lying in front of her covered in blood...... Su Liuying knelt in front of Qiong with a pale face, her mind was dizzy, and she couldn't tell whether everything in front of her was a dream or a reality.

She trembled and touched Joan's cold hands, and then trembled to her bloodbroken face, her throat rolling, tears falling in strings, and she cried hoarsely

"Ah Niang, it's really your ......" Feeling that his life was lost with the gushing blood, Qiong tried his last strength to pull Su Liuying's hand and said in a trembling voice

"You have to live well, and don't avenge your daddy's investigation anymore...... Don't hate the emperor either...... Everything is A-Niang's fault. If you want to blame, blame A-Niang......"

"After A-Niang's death...... Please bury me with your father's ashes......" Su Liuying and Mama Lan, who came back to their senses, desperately tried their best to plug the blood on Qiong's body, she cried

"A-Niang, don't talk anymore, I won't let you die...... I've finally met you, and I still have a lot to say to you...... Ah Niang, please, don't leave me again......" However, Qiong's back was almost shot into a bloody hole, and even if the Da Luo Immortal came, she couldn't save her life.

The blood-covered hand gently caressed Su Liuying's pale little face, and Qiong's eyes were filled with deep reluctance - she was not afraid of death, and even for her, life was more painful than death.

It's just that there are too many reluctances to Su Liuying.

"Hotaru, remember the oath you once made...... No...... No...... ...... marrying into the Lou family" tried his last strength to finish the last sentence, and the Qiong family, who had met his daughter for less than a moment, finally died...... Looking at A-Niang's closed eyes, Su Liuying's throat was sweet, she couldn't withstand such a blow anymore, and fainted...... When I woke up again, it was three days later.

Her eyelids opened little by little, and the harsh sunlight made her eyes ache.

"Liuying ......" was Lou Yue's hoarse but surprised voice, and Xue Nian was chattering

"Oh, I'm finally awake, now you should let me go back to my room and sleep. It's been five days, and I'm sleepy......" She tried to open her eyes, looked at Lou Yue in front of her with a happy but tired face, and sighed with difficulty

"A-Niang...... What about my aunt......" Hearing this, Lou Yue's eyes dimmed, and she looked at her with regret, and finally said in a deep voice

"Concubine Qiong...... Deceased! Su Liuying looked at him blankly, her eyes didn't blink, and her tears were already raining down.

The heart was torn open alive, and the eyes were full of A-Niang lying in front of her, Su Liuying swallowed the fishy sweetness that churned in her throat, shook her head and smiled

"You lied to me, my aunt is not dead...... She told me in person that she lied to me four years ago and she didn't die...... She's been alive and well......"

"Hotaru, you have to be strong. Concubine Qiong, she also hopes that you will live bravely......" Looking at her evasive appearance, although Lou Yue was sad, she finally wanted her to face this cruel truth.

Su Liuying looked at him for a moment, her eyes gradually became ruthless, and she gritted her teeth and said fiercely

"My aunt is my aunt, she is not the concubine in your mouth, you don't want to talk nonsense......" Su Liuying resisted from the bottom of her heart and was unwilling to face her mother's true identity, but now, all the truth has been revealed, but Lou Yue has to let her face it.

Lou Yue put the portrait that the shadow guard brought back, along with the string of rosewood beads she gave him before, in front of her.

"The string of Buddhist beads you gave me before, I will show it to my mother. She told me that this string of Buddhist beads was given by the emperor to the harem's favorite concubine Qiong Niangniang when he was the crown prince......"

"This Concubine Qiong is from Hu Di, the most favored by the saint, it is said that the Yunmengtai in the palace was specially built for her by the saint...... It's a pity that shortly before the Holy One ascended the throne, he suddenly fell ill and died......"

"I sent someone to Hu Di to check the background of Concubine Qiong and your Niang, and the news I got confirmed - your Niang is indeed Qiong Niangniang nineteen years ago!" Cat flutter Chinese
