One hundred and forty-six old things
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Eight?? 1 Chinese Net ???.? 8?1?z??. c?o?m?” Princess Mingshou panicked: "I don't want three conditions, just one, just one, just one, please let the emperor spare my family's life, let's go back to our hometown in Yuezhou, I will never enter Beijing again in the future, and I will never add chaos to the emperor." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was afraid that if she didn't say it again, she wouldn't have a chance to say it, instead of holding it like she had just now, she gushed endlessly: "What the emperor said is not wrong, I only know a little bit about the old things more than thirty years ago." At that time, the queen mother discussed with the financial department of the Tai Hospital, and he came to write his mother's pulse case, and others couldn't interfere. Later, the queen mother didn't show up in front of people very much, and when she really wanted to show up, she would install a fake belly like a water bladder. I heard Bai Shanggong say that, saying that the pillow silk cotton or something is too light, it will make people look unlike, and the water bladder is sinking, so it looks more like the real thing when standing and walking. ”
Xie Ning was also very flustered.
Princess Mingshou should be telling the truth at this time, people are forced to do their part, and they can only do their best. She didn't dare to tell lies, because she didn't know how much the emperor knew about these things, and if she said a lie, the emperor would hear it, and all other truths would follow.
Xie Ning felt as if he had been divided into two people, one of them sat there woodenly, and put Princess Mingshou's words into his ears one by one, without missing a word. One seemed to be standing aside, watching this humble room with cold eyes, but in his heart he was thinking, what will he do in the future? She heard so many secrets...... Will the emperor really not be jealous of her in the future?
"At that time, there were also palace people in the palace who were pregnant, I don't remember how many, it should be two or three. That was deliberately connived at by the Queen Mother. In the past, those women did not allow them to get pregnant after they went to bed, but at that time, they had to make their bellies bulge. In addition to them, there are also people outside the palace who have also sent people to find women who are waiting to give birth to prepare, just to make sure that in case these few in the palace can't give birth to a son, then take one from outside the palace. ”
Xie Ning's hand trembled slightly.
She understood why Princess Mingshou had looked at her with that kind of look just now. This secret is too big, too heavy, and Shainin is afraid that he really can't afford it.
"It was in this Golden Wind Garden that my father was going to come to escape the summer, and the queen mother didn't want to come, but she arranged everything properly in the palace, so she didn't want to come under the pretext of being heavy. But the father was in a bad temper at that time, and the queen mother had to come, and also brought those pregnant palace people with her. I remember that night it was raining heavily, and one of those pregnant palace people suddenly fell and gave birth, giving birth to a baby boy. The queen mother will do what she wants, so she hid it, and the child came over. This matter was done by Bai Shanggong himself, and no one else knew about it. ”
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "So, you don't know who the palace person who gave birth is?" How did she die? Where are they buried? ”
Princess Mingshou took a deep breath, this secret had been buried in her heart for too long, and she felt a little frightened when she thought about it. It's rare that after so many years, she doesn't know why she remembers the events of that night clearly.
She hid behind the tent and listened to the baby's crying again and again, irritable and flustered. The queen mother wants a son, she is not a son, and this child may become an emperor in the future.
No one can say anything about this.
Bai Shanggong talked to the Queen Mother, her voice was low, and the thunder outside was also loud, and she heard a few words.
“…… The birth was very unsmooth, the blood collapse could not be stopped, and the medicine brought by the slave maid had not yet had time to be used, which saved a thing. The slave thought that everyone was dead anyway, so she simply said that it was a thunderstorm that had destroyed the house, and it was better to clean it up before dawn. ”
Ming Shou said these words.
The emperor must have thought that this person was killed by the queen mother, but in fact it was not, Mingshou knew that it was not. Bai Shanggong will not tell lies to the queen mother, what she overhears must be true.
It was precisely because his biological mother was not killed by the queen mother that Ming Shou dared to say it. If it was really the queen mother who let her kill her mother and take her child, then Ming Shou wouldn't dare to say this now, wouldn't she think she was dying fast enough?
"So I don't know what her surname is, but Jin Fengyuan may still remember that before and after the emperor was born, there were palace people who were killed by the collapse of the house......"
Xie Ning didn't know why, he felt sad and wanted to cry inexplicably.
It was the emperor's biological mother, but she died so silently on a rainy night many years ago, maybe she didn't even have a place to be buried. Xie Ning knew that there was such a place in the palace, in order to save trouble, the palace eunuchs did not need to be buried with effort when they died, and they were directly dragged to be burned.
Her hands kept shaking.
The emperor's hand was also trembling, but it was much better than her.
Even Princess Mingshou herself is no better, she is also trembling, and her words are stumbling.
"I didn't say a word of lie, Emperor Mingjian." Princess Mingshou hasn't spoken to such a respectful and cautious fandom for many years, even if it's the same emperor, she hasn't necessarily been so timid.
"As for those people in the palace, King Yu originally had a list, but when he failed, he had pulled out a lot, and that list was transferred to me, and it was incomplete, but most of them were not in important positions."
"Where's the list?"
"In the garden, there is a secret compartment under the bed in my bedroom."
The emperor snorted, no surprise at all.
Princess Mingshou's heart trembled again, since the emperor has locked her up, then her bedroom may have been copied to the bottom of the sky, and she doesn't say anything about the list, but I'm afraid that it will already enter the emperor's hands.
Thinking about it again, just now she said that there were dead palace people before and after the emperor was born, didn't the emperor think about checking the days when he was born? She's not a secret.
Princess Mingshou was completely out of energy, and after she said all the words, she was like someone had her spin removed, and her whole body was going to be paralyzed.
The emperor stood up: "I heard that Commander Chang said that you refused to eat?" ”
Princess Mingshou hurriedly looked up.
"If you want to die, I won't stop you."
Xie Ning also got up and walked to the door with the emperor. It may be that when I sit, my feet are a little numb, and I don't walk a little obediently.
The emperor stretched out his hand to hold her, and the two of them did not look like the emperor and his concubine, but like the couples of ordinary families that Princess Mingshou had seen.
Walking out of that room, the night wind blew on his face, and Xie Ning was in good spirits.
When I first went in, I smelled a smell of wood inside, but I couldn't smell it after a long time. But as soon as it came out, there was a contrast, and now I smell the breath in the wind so fresh, with a faint fragrance.
The emperor held one of her hands and the other to support her waist.
"Don't be afraid." The emperor whispered, "Don't be afraid. ”
Shainin nodded.
The emperor saw that her hands were cold, took off the cloak on her body and wrapped it for her, and hugged her forward and walked up to the sedan chair.
The shadows of the trees outside, the wind was strong, and the light of the lanterns seemed so insignificant in the long night.
Xie Ning's whole body was about to curl up in the emperor's arms.
It seemed like that way she could feel safe and warm.
The emperor also regretted it a little, Xie Ning had experienced too much in one day today, a turmoil at noon, and another palace secret at night, all of which were rushed to this day.
It's really hard for her.
The emperor is actually contradictory in his heart. Since he loved her natural temperament, he also hoped that she could become more mellow and mature.
Now that he was uncomfortable looking at her, the emperor felt that he was not too anxious.
After all, she is not a person who grew up in such a place, and she will not be like those women from a family, who have been accustomed to these things since she was a child.
The emperor used to hate them like that.
But now that I think about it, people like them can be like fish in water in the palace.
The trees outside were blown by the wind, and his mind was messed up by the wind.
After all, Xie Ning is not yet twenty years old, the three people in the room just now, the emperor has already passed the year of establishment, Princess Mingshou is forty years old today, only Xie Ning is so young, and he has experienced less wind and rain.
But these weaknesses and remorse are only temporary after all, the emperor only sighed for a short time after all, and when the sedan chair arrived in front of the Qingbi Hall, the emperor already looked as usual.
Shainin saw that the light was on, and his spirit was a little better than just now. It was as if she had escaped from another dark world infested with ghosts, and the bright Qingbi Hall in front of her was the world she was familiar with.
"The concubine can't bear it, so let the emperor see the joke."
"How old are you, and you learn these things little by little." The emperor held a good hand and comforted softly: "It's me who is too anxious." ”
They fetched water to wash up, and the two sat under the lamp tent and talked. Xie Ning wore a snow-silk middle coat with his head scattered, glanced at the emperor and did not speak.
"What's wrong?" The emperor gently brushed the head of her ear: "Do you have something to say?" ”
Xie Ning rested his head lightly on his shoulder: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. I think that lady would be happy for you if she knew that the emperor had today. ”
"I know, and I know, that there are many things that cannot be undone. I just want to know more about her. ”
How could he have not checked what Princess Mingshou said? What Princess Mingshou didn't say was that the Queen Mother had prepared several pregnant palace people for backup, and the first one to give birth by accident was his biological mother, and the remaining few were useless, and they were all secretly disposed of by the Queen Mother. The harem of the first emperor was chaotic, and there were too many people who died, just a few days before and after his birth, and more than ten eunuchs and palace people were killed. People come from the palace, and they are not listed in the garden, and if they die, they die, and those who remember the old things can hardly be found. Turn around and check the personnel in the palace at that time, this is more like looking for a needle in a haystack, and now, I can't even find a name.
What would it be like if his biological mother was still around? He is now the Son of Heaven, but he can't fulfill his filial piety in front of his biological mother for a day.
