Chapter 251: Truth hurts more than deception
The doors and windows of the main hall were closed, and the butler knelt on the ground, his body shaking constantly. Liang Yue stood behind Xuanyuanzi, only to feel that his whole body was full of evil energy, and his fists were so clenched that the muscles were bursting up.
"Who is that man, and why would he say such a thing?" Liang Yue pursed her lips, looked down at the housekeeper and said, "Maybe it's a lie." ”
The butler shook his head slowly, and when he looked up again, there were tears in his eyes: "Minion... The minion also knew about it, and the man didn't lie. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are... The child of the Prime Minister and his wife. ”
Xuanyuan Zili slowly bent down, half-knelt down, as if there was a fire in his eyes, and looked at the housekeeper and said, "Tell me everything that happened, otherwise I won't believe you." Mo Zhiyuan once said that my parents have a lot of status, but he also said that they are dead. ”
How could it be Prime Minister Mo, he was a person who was incompatible with him back then, he was disobedient several times, and he was also corrupt and perverted the law. Although some of them are to cover up, in the emperor's heart, Mo Zhiyuan has always been the one who opposes him. It began when the emperor was still alive.
"Sir, he... It should be to protect His Majesty, so he has not said it. The housekeeper covered his face and said in a dumb voice: "I should also be the one who doesn't know about this, but I'm sorry, I overheard the words of the old man in front of the lady's tomb, and I also know where the little son born by the lady has gone." ”
Liang Yue took a breath.
"The lord said that she was sorry for Madame, and he had other people in his heart. For so many years, even if Mrs. knows, she has served the master wholeheartedly. But when the lady gave birth, the lord talked to the people sent by the palace in the study, and at the moment when the lady died in childbirth, he didn't even hesitate, and sent the newborn son to the palace. ”
Before the lady died, she just looked at the old man with tears in her eyes. The slave watched from the side, and also felt that the master owed his wife in this life. The old man announced to the public that the little boy did not survive. But I knew that the little boy was just sent away. ”
Xuanyuan Zi shook slightly away from his body, and a pair of black eyes stared at the butler's mouth. Listening to him talk about the past, it seemed that his mother, whom he had never met, was crying in grief and dying in the man's arms.
The slave knew that as a housekeeper, he shouldn't ask more, so he never asked about the whereabouts of the young master. But suddenly one day, the old man changed, became corrupt and bribed, and gradually valued power. There is a lady in the palace who seems to have a relationship with the master, and the master is helping her openly and secretly. ”
"Now that I think about it, that lady should be the queen mother who has passed away now. The old man's body also began to gradually weaken after the death of the Queen Mother. ”
"And the little boy who was sent away back then can only be Your Majesty." The old butler kowtowed to Xuanyuan Zili fiercely, and fell to the ground.
"These things, the lord must not want His Majesty to know. So even if His Majesty had murderous intentions towards the lord at the beginning, the lord didn't say anything. But now... The master's body was already bad, and he was taken away. The old slave was really worried, worried that he hadn't had time to listen to His Majesty yet... Listen to Your Majesty...... And so it went. ”
Xuanyuan Zili hung his head, Liang Yue couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was obvious that he could feel his sadness and anger. The emperor was angry, but she didn't know what he was angry about. Just as he wanted to step forward, he saw him smash his fist on the ground.
With a very hard punch, Liang Yue frowned, squatted down quickly, and clenched the emperor's fist with both hands.
"Don't do that." Liang Yue said in a low voice: "What we have to do now is to save the prime minister, you can't mess up by yourself first." ”
The emperor was silent, his fist seemed to be stuck to the ground, and even if Liang Yue tried his best, he couldn't pull it out.
"Your Majesty..."The butler kowtowed indiscriminately, blood was already oozing from his forehead, but he still kept knocking.
Xuanyuan Zili only felt a pain in his heart, so painful that he couldn't feel the injury on his hand at all. His biological father turned out to be so close to him. You can see it every day, and even kneel down to him every time you face up. He never knew that it was his father...
Mo Zhiyuan, what was he thinking? Just because of a woman who abandoned his wife and his children, just for the sake of the woman he so-called loved... I have been stupid for so many years, I have been deceived for so many years, and now I am suddenly told all the truth, and I only feel extremely ridiculous.
At first, he didn't believe in Mo Zhiyuan for a while, he seemed to be just an ordinary greedy and arrogant courtier who relied on the old and sold the old. Even though he was also wary of Situ Heyu, he never regarded Mo Zhiyuan as a person on his side. Even several times, because he hindered his actions, Xuanyuan Zili thought about killing him.
Then later, he inadvertently discovered what Mo Zhiyuan was doing behind his back, everything was far-sighted and thought about him. At that time, he only thought that Mo Zhiyuan was a loyal minister. He may have been entrusted by his father to help him stabilize the country. So they accepted him.
At that time, Liang Yue seemed to wonder why her attitude towards Mo Zhiyuan suddenly changed for the better.
Someone like that... It's just suitable for being a courtier, how can he be a father? He pretended to be the queen mother in his heart, and he also pretended to have a country, when did he pretend to be himself? If he really sees him as his child, shouldn't he at least tell him the truth? What now? Want to die with the Queen Mother and take this secret to hell?
Mo Zhiyuan he... How can you be half a father of others?
"Zi Li..."Liang Yue raised the emperor's hand with difficulty, looked at the red, swollen and bleeding fist, and roared: "You cheer me up a little!" Prime Minister Mo is still waiting for you to call him..."
"He doesn't deserve it." The emperor coldly interrupted Liang Yue's words, and slowly stood up and said, "He is not worthy of me calling those two words." Such a person has not fulfilled his responsibilities, why, why do you want me to recognize him now? ”
"Your Majesty..."The butler lay on the ground and choked up: "Prime Minister, he..."
"You don't have to explain much." Xuanyuan Zili slowly raised his head, his face returned to an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "He is just the prime minister of the Apocalypse, even if you tell me this now, it won't change anything." The other party caught him, it must be useful, we just waited. ”
Liang Yue frowned, holding the emperor's fist in her arms, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you want to let it go and wait for the other party to come to the door?" Xuanyuan Zili, if something happens to the prime minister, you will regret it. ”
The emperor no longer responded, only pulled Liang Yue to the inner room, and ordered in the direction of the door: "Peony, take the housekeeper down and settle down." ”
Peony answered outside the door.
The housekeeper looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and he couldn't speak, so he could only sigh, got up and followed Aunt Peony down.
"Hey." Liang Yue hugged the emperor's arm, but was dragged away by the emperor. Feeling the evil aura all over this person's body, Liang Yue said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't you be honest?" I should be happy to finally know my life experience! ”
Xuanyuan Zi took a pause, then pulled Liang Yue and pressed it on the bed, and said in a muffled voice: "With such a life experience, who do you think will be happy?" ”
Liang Yue was startled, the emperor had already laid down on the bed with her, hugging her, getting tighter and tighter.
"His father did not love his mother, and for the sake of another woman, he sent his children to the palace, a place where people eat people and do not spit out bones. The mother did not get the love of the father when she died, but in exchange for her own children calling others the queen mother. How can I be happy with such a background. ”
The emperor's voice was full of anger, but it was also mixed with a little sadness and pain.
It's better to keep lying to him that his parents are dead, so that it can be better.
"Your mother..."Liang Yue sighed, reached out to hug Xuanyuan Zili, and said softly: "Although I haven't seen it, it sounds like a gentle person." She loves your father dearly, and she will surely not resent him. ”
The emperor buried his head in Liang Yue's arms, sullen and did not speak.
Liang Yue patted the emperor's back like a mother and comforted: "I think you should be happy, after all, Prime Minister Mo is still alive, and you still have the opportunity to do your duty as a son." ”
"Are you kidding?" Xuanyuan Zili raised his head, looked at Liang Yue angrily and said, "Who will be happy?" Who will do what? He never treated me as his own child, so should I still do my filial piety? ”
Liang Yue pursed her lips, looked at the emperor's eyes, shook her head and said, "There is always a place in your heart that is happy because you have found your father..."
"Nope!" Xuanyuan Zili said in a muffled voice, hugged Liang Yue tightly, and said angrily like a child: "I am angry or angry now." ”
There was a cold liquid falling on his neck, the emperor was shocked, pinched Liang Yue's shoulder and pulled her away from him, frowning: "You..."
With tears on her bright face, Liang Yue looked at Emperor Ming Xuan quietly, pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "When you first told me that the flowers hanging on the wall were painted by my mother, although I felt very strange, I was also happy somewhere in my heart. Even if she's dead, even if I can't see her. But I still feel happy. At least before I died, I knew what my mother was like. ”
Xuanyuan Zili's face sank, and he pursed his lips and said, "Don't cry." ”
She'd seen her mother, but she had forgotten it. That person... The person he had been calling his mother for twenty years turned out to be the culprit who caused him to leave his biological parents. But he is also the one who abandoned the cool moon. Fate really plays tricks on people.
"You are better than me, you can still be filial, and you can also rescue the prime minister, look at him and tell him that you know, you know who your father is. Shouldn't you be happy? Liang Yue looked sideways at the emperor, and the tears in her eyes kept slipping, as if they flowed out unconsciously, and they were connected into a string.
The emperor's eyes tightened, and he kissed Liang Yue's lips along with the painful feeling in his heart.
