In May, the capital is far away from the warm and cold, but it is not yet hot and dull, the spring is late, the beginning of the summer is thin, and it is the most refreshing season.

But in Su Zhi's image, in the early summer of the sixth year of Tiansheng, the Guogong Mansion was full of haze.

That year, the saint ascended the throne for two years, and the yuan has not yet been changed, but the life of the old prince Su Ting has come to an end, and I still remember that it was just the beginning of summer, and the old prince vomited blood again, compared to the previous few times I fainted, that time I didn't wake up for two days.

The three imperial doctors in the palace administered needles and emergency treatment inch by inch, and finally let the old man recover from his stupor.

Su Zhi remembered that day the sun was clear, reflecting the white mulberry paper, sinking on the green bricks, and being pale in a trance.

The old man sat up from the couch with his coat on, every movement was dull and slow, but he watched from the sidelines, but he couldn't bear to step forward to help.

The hairline is not white, the green eyebrows are not pale, but life is gradually exhausted, and parting with eyes makes people too late to prepare.

"What about Shangyuan...... Su Zhi heard the old man's already somewhat hoarse voice.

"The princess consulted with the imperial physicians about the prescription." Su Zhi replied with grief.

He saw that the old man seemed to be trying to stand up, and his arms were propped up on the edge of the couch, but his knees were still weak, and he finally gave up......

A muddy sigh -

"Bingduan, how much time do I have left?"

Su Zhi couldn't speak, but when he saw that the old prince looked at him, there was no sadness in his eyes, and he was as firm as ever: "Bingduan, I don't want to leave so confused, let's talk about the diagnosis of those imperial doctors." ”

"Grandpa Guo......" was a man who once fought on the battlefield and was not afraid of life and death, but now he was suffocated by a simple sentence.

Three days, or two days, the longest delay is not five days, and life has come to an end unconsciously.

Su Zhi still doesn't remember how he said that difficult sentence.

"Go and see Shangyuan, let those imperial doctors go back to the palace, I just want to ...... quietly"

I still remember that after the old man said that, he seemed to have finally accumulated strength, stood up steadily, faced the light outside the window, and left the gloomy sickbed, still iron-clad, and the figure was tall and upright, so that people could not see that he was stumbling and weak.

That was the day when Mama Song asked to see her.

Su Zhi remembered that the eldest princess was persuaded by the old prince to go back to the house to rest, and asked the prince Su Yi to tell him about the future, and when Mama Song came, Su Yi had just left.

Su Zhi entered the study with Mama Song.

Since the Wansi incident, the old prince has never met with the servants in the palace alone, for more than 20 years, without exception.

He originally thought that Mama Song was coming on the order of the princess, but as soon as he entered the study, he saw that the Song family chief could not kneel.

"Grandpa Guo, there is one thing, the slave maid wanted to hide it all the time, but at this time...... The slave couldn't bear to hide it from the grandfather of the country anymore. ”

Su Zhi looked at Song prostrate on the ground in amazement, choking constantly, he subconsciously looked at the old prince's expression, but saw that the master's thick eyebrows frowned, and there was no intention to avoid it, Su Zhi also stood aside.

"Ah Song, you get up and speak." The old man propped himself on the case with one hand, and his voice was still a little tired.

"Do you remember Wansi?"

This sentence made Su Zhi's expression change greatly, and he clearly saw that the old man's gaze was also sharp.

"In the ninth year of the Great Expedition, Wansi contacted the slave and maid privately, saying that there was something important to invite, but the slave and maid did not know why, and had a private meeting with her outside the house, so I heard her say it...... At the time, she was five months pregnant...... Grandpa Guo, Wansi wants to pass a message to the princess through the slave maid, begging the princess to tolerate her...... The slave didn't dare to make a decision at that time, and the grandfather of the country had already gone with him...... The slave had no choice but to comfort her first, and kept the princess ...... In Layue that year, she gave birth to a baby boy. ”

Su Zhi saw that the Song family took out a number of things from his sleeves tremblingly, and wanted to present them to the old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but saw a jade pendant, as well as the title deed and house deed given to Wansi by the old country bus at that time.

"Back then, Grandpa Guo asked Wansi to go back to Ninghai, but she found out that she was pregnant halfway, and she was unwilling to stay away, and returned to Beijing, and the slave maid heard that the fetus in her womb was the flesh and blood of Grandpa Guo, so she had to settle her down first and coax her to give birth to Xiaolangjun first, but the slave maid did not dare to let the princess know...... The slave threatened Wansi that if she wanted her mother and son to be safe, she couldn't stay in Kyoto, and Wansi cried and begged, not wanting Xiaolangjun to be displaced with her and separated from her father and son...... Later, the slave maid had to promise her to take care of Xiao Langjun and send her back to Ninghai, but she left these to the slave maid, saying that it was given by the grandfather of the country that day, as evidence. ”

"Why are you saying this now?" The old man asked with a solemn face.

"The slave couldn't bear to make the princess sad, and she didn't want to watch the princess and the princess have a fight, but now, ...... If you don't tell the truth, the slave and maid can't bear it. ”

"That kid ......"

"In order not to make the princess suspicious, the slave maid had to be raised by a farmer, and it was not until he was seven years old that he found a way to take him back to the national mansion, and thought that the adopted son was ......"

——

When Su Zhi said this, he sighed for a long time: "Wu Niang, the situation back then was like this, the old prince was approaching, and he didn't have time to verify this matter, but that Wansi ...... Back then, I did have a ...... with Grandpa Guo And counting the time, if Song Hui is the son born to Wansi, he is indeed the flesh and blood of the grandfather of the country. ”

Yi Jing calmed down, only felt that it was a mess, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So, grandfather wrote a letter of recognition based on Mama Song's unilateral words, and told her to deceive her grandmother all the time?" ”

"Wu Niang, don't complain about the old man, when he is in a hurry, this is also a helpless thing, the old man has not enough time to ask for the princess's forgiveness, he doesn't want to die in the princess's resentment at the last moment, and he doesn't want the princess to suffer." Su Zhi said in a deep voice.

Yijing pressed her palm to her eyebrows, and all kinds of complex and indisputable emotions surged in her heart, she vaguely felt that the cause of all the disasters might be because of her grandfather's letter of recognition of her son, Mama Song must have had affection for her grandfather, but she couldn't ask for it, and she has always been jealous and hateful to her grandmother, and she has endured it for many years, just to win all the Guogong Mansion for her adopted son Song Hui.

"Grandfather trusts Mama Song so much."

"Back then, not only the grandfather of the country, but even the old slave believed that the Song family acted like this, all because of the loyalty to the princess...... Wu Niang, you haven't experienced those years, the Song family has lived and died with the princess, the old slave still remembers, when the battle of Cangshan, the princess captured the Dongming tenants, and understood that the Dongming army wanted to ambush the old man in Qinggu Pass, it was the Song family who risked his life and handed the news to the Xiao cavalry army, so that the old man avoided the death. ”

But because Mama Song secretly had evil intentions later, and then she was stupid and stupid, she not only killed the innocent son, but also ended up in fear of crime and taking poison.

Yi Jing thought weakly that in that time that had ended, after the Song family killed himself, he didn't know how many more disasters would happen.

But these words naturally can't be questioned.

"What the hell is going on with that Wansi and grandfather?" Yijing's intuition is not simple, whether Song Hui is his grandfather's flesh and blood is still inconclusive.

Wansi was originally a maid beside the princess, eight years of the Great Expedition, the first emperor raised the army to recruit and naturalize, the old prince led the troops to go, won a big victory in the ninth year of the Great Expedition, recovered the eighteen cities around the naturalization, the first emperor called the old prince to return to Beijing, and held a palace banquet to celebrate, at that time, the princess gave birth to the third master, less than a month...... The old prince was drunk seven or eight minutes at the palace banquet, and stayed in the study that night, and the princess could not serve herself, so she asked Wansi to cook a sobering soup...... Nawansi, Ben is somewhat similar to the princess when she was younger...... And her heart...... Old Prince...... After waking up the next day, the old prince repented and warned Wansi not to talk nonsense, and discussed with the princess, under the pretext of giving Wansi to his subordinates as wives, and the princess asked Wansi if she was willing, so she agreed. The old slave instructed the old slave to prepare a farm house in Ninghai, and wanted to send Wansi away from the distance, and the old slave entrusted a businessman who had a good relationship, because he happened to go to Ninghai, so he let Wansi go with him. ”

"But the maid turned back halfway?" Yijing didn't praise his grandfather's "drunken sex", and only asked about the future.

Because a few months later, the first emperor decided to recruit in person, summoned the old man to accompany him, and the old slave also went with the army, and no longer paid attention to Wansi's affairs, until the Song family confessed the truth before the old man died, and afterwards the old slave also asked the businessman, sure enough, halfway through that year, Wansi was unwell because of her body, and asked Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse...... The merchant also knew that Wansi was pregnant at the time, and seeing that she insisted on refusing to go to Ninghai again and wanted to return to Kyoto, he didn't know the hidden secret, so he was naturally not reluctant. ”

In this way, it is true that Wansi was pregnant back then.

"But my grandfather also has doubts in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Ah Weng to take a closer look." Yijing said again.

"That's true, although the old prince believes in the Song family's loyalty to the princess, he also knows that she is decisive, and she should not let go of Wansi, and then ...... Those deeds were indeed given to Wansi by the old father-in-law, but they were never entrusted to her jade pendant as a letter. ”

Yi Jing was surprised: "But Mama Song said that the jade pendant was given to Wansi by her grandfather?" ”

"Yes, so the old prince suspected that Wansi should have sensed that the Song family wanted to be unfavorable to her, so she deliberately said so, leaving behind, but she didn't know what the truth was, so although the old prince felt that Song Hui was innocent, wrote a letter of recognition, and handed it over to the old slave, he repeatedly instructed that if the princess was alive, it could not be announced, and if Song Hui's life history could not be discovered, it must not be announced, and if the old slave was alive, Wansi's whereabouts could not be found, and it was determined that Song Hui was the flesh and blood of the old Guogong, and the confession book would be destroyed before he died."

In other words, if Su Zhi died, the eldest princess was still alive, and Song Hui's identity would not be recognized.

"The old prince could only do this for the princess at that time, but he always apologized to Song Hui, so he told the old slave to take care of his life."

"Ah Weng, but you are now very wary of Mama Song's mother and son, why are you?" Yi Jing frowned slightly.

"These old slaves searched for Wan Si to no avail, and they suspected that she had been killed, but they could never be sure of Song Hui's life experience, this time they returned, and heard that Song's mother and son wanted to trap Mama Yang in injustice, and they suspected that she was greedy because of the long time, and then I heard from my family that since Song Hui was blamed, Song repeatedly came to the door, so I went to meet, she actually threatened the old slave, if she did not help Song Hui return to the Gongfu on an errand, she would confess the matter to the princess."

I see......

Mama Song shouldn't be able to hold it back.

"The old slave told her that if she insisted on doing so, the old slave should deny it, and the Song family gritted his teeth, claiming that what Song Hui said was also the flesh and blood of the grandfather of the country, and wanted to persuade the old slave to come forward as a witness, but of course the old slave refused, and became more and more suspicious that she had no intentions." Su Zhi said.

"Aweng, I don't think it's appropriate to keep my grandmother a secret." Yijing sighed, thinking that since her grandfather passed away, although her grandmother had never expressed her grief in front of others, she was often stunned, and she should be nostalgic and sad, she didn't dare to imagine that her grandmother learned that her grandfather had betrayed her......

"But I agree, if you don't find out about the matter, it's better to hide it for the time being." Yijing said again.

"Wu Niang, the old slave knows everything, then, please also ask Wu Niang to tell all the strange things about the Song family." Su Zhi pleases again.

Thinking about it, the matter has come to this point, and if I can get Ah Weng's help, and I can protect the Song mother and son strictly, I will no longer hide it, and carefully inform Mama Song of those "good things".
