283, the past and the old things (2)
Su Wen nodded lightly, "The hibiscus pattern embroidery on the back of the noble concubine's head, the position and style are completely consistent with what my mother told me, I don't believe there will be such a coincidence in the world, the baby girl who was replaced should be her."
Feng Miao raised her hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes, what she heard from Su Wen's mouth was too unbelievable, it was even more shocking to her than she recognized Xiao Luan, her biological father. According to Su Wen, she and Gao Zhaorong's biological mother were both lowly singers, both had hibiscus tattoos, and both won the favor of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty...... With so many similarities, it's hard to believe that it's all just a coincidence.
After a pause, Su Wen continued, "I remember that my mother once sighed several times that the favored concubine in the palace had an almost fanatical obsession with power, as if she wanted to regain something she had lost before, and would not miss any possible opportunity. In order to hold the phoenix seal and even the jade seal firmly in her hands, she can abandon her own daughter, who was only a few days old, or put poison into her husband's meals. ”
Su Wen looked down at the broken hands, maybe these hands will no longer be able to grasp medicine and diagnose the pulse, but she doesn't regret it at all, "What happened back then, in fact, has nothing to do with the little princess who can't talk or walk, and I don't just want to avenge my parents." I can feel that the noble concubine, like the legendary concubine back then, wants to use her beauty to confuse the heart of the man on the dragon throne, and then hold his country in her own hands. ”
"Whether it is the noble concubine in the past or the noble concubine now, in fact, they can live well, have loving husbands, and healthy children, but they have to choose another path." Su Wen let out a long sigh, "I don't know what the hibiscus flower represents, maybe it's a certain family or a certain belief, but if the memories of the past are so painful and tangled, is it really necessary to keep it in mind?" Why can't you try to forget and accept a new life? ”
Feng Miao didn't know what to say, she remembered what A-Niang said, no matter what the hibiscus flower represented, she just needed to accept it calmly. After experiencing such an accident, maybe A-Niang also hoped that she and her brother could forget things that should not be remembered, so she did not leave a hibiscus tattoo on her brother.
Su Wen endured the pain of broken bones, and after saying so many words, he couldn't support it anymore, and his eyelids fell together. Feng Miao pulled the silk brocade quilt over her, "You sleep for a while, I'll go and let Lingshu cook some porridge." ”
She shouted a few times, but she didn't see the corpse laughing and answering as usual. Su Wen's low voice was a little anxious, "I don't know what will happen last night, I told Lingshu to wait until dawn, and if we haven't come back yet, we'll find a way to go out and deliver the letter." Could it be that she saw that we hadn't returned overnight and had already managed to get out? ”
Feng Miao frowned slightly and asked, "Lingshu doesn't have any familiar people in Luoyang, who can I go to to deliver the letter?" ”
Su Wen lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "When we came out of the East Fence, Gongzi asked us to take care of Niangniang, and then Gongzi escaped death and came to Luoyang, and he also told him privately that if the situation in the palace is critical, you can tell him that he knows that he may not be able to do other things, but at least he can always try his best to protect Niangniang." Childe said that the mother has a husband and children, as long as the mother can be relieved, he can promise the mother a good time. Wang Xuanzhi originally forbade her to say these words to Feng Miao, but she was just upset for her son, he was just a step too late, and missed the years when Feng Miao was not married.
Feng Miao couldn't stop touching the already smooth soft silk with her fingers, she had a husband and children, but Wang Xuanzhi was still alone, although she knew that Wang Xuanzhi didn't want to ask for anything in return, she couldn't bear to owe more affection that she couldn't repay.
She forced herself to say calm and ruthless words, "Xianbei people value blood the most, after all, the eldest brother is a subordinate of the Southern Dynasty, and the higher the official position, the easier it is to be excluded and hated by others." If the eldest brother wants to make a difference here, he must get the approval of those Xianbei nobles, and the fastest and easiest way is to marry a wife from a famous Xianbei family...... "It is impossible for her to persuade Wang Xuanzhi to try to accept others, that would be more embarrassing than a straightforward refusal, she knows that Wang Xuanzhi was originally the most shrewd and rational person, so she might as well persuade him to be more sensible."
Huayin Hall was tightly guarded by the Yulin guards, and after three days in a row, Feng Miao didn't know anything about the outside world. It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that someone came to invite her to go back to the Yongtai Palace.
The situation in the Yongtai Hall was almost exactly the same as that rainy night, with Yuan Ke sitting on the main seat in the center, and several princes of the clan who had been edicted to assist the government sitting on both sides.
The send-off team of the princess of the Southern Dynasty arrived, and according to the instructions left by Yuan Hong in advance, the send-off team, along with the princess herself, who did not know the truth or falsehood, were directly sent to the post house outside the palace and were not allowed to enter the palace. Someone among the princes mentioned that it was just right to ask the palace maid Chuntong to go to the post house to identify who sent the letter to her, and the two confronted each other, and they could always ask who the letter was for.
This method was originally said by Feng Miao herself when she was in Yongtai Hall a few days ago, and she was not easy to object to at this time, so she sat down and waited quietly.
The Yulin guards went for a long time, but they couldn't bring back Chuntong, and the guards who went and returned knelt on the ground and reported to Yuan Ke, "Your Highness, the palace maid who is locked up in the Shen Punishment Center has ...... He's dead. ”
Everyone present was taken aback, and the guard did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly told in detail what he had seen. In the Punishment Center, Chuntong was kept alone in a room, and every day someone put food in through a round hole in the wall. From the day before, when the eunuch came to fetch the empty bowl, he found that the food in the bowl had not been touched. In this kind of place, there are too many people who are on hunger strike or crying, and the eunuchs have long been trained to be hard-hearted, and they don't take it to heart at all. When I was ordered to open the cell door today, I found Chuntong lying in a corner, with a bamboo chopstick stuck in his chest, which was sent in with the meal, and one end was cut a little sharp.
Feng Miao looked around, and the faces of those princes were not much better than hers. Only Chuntong met with the messenger, and as soon as she died, there was no way to confront the people of the Southern Dynasty.
Dongyang Wang Yuanpi didn't know when he had returned to Luoyang, and he was not present when he was confronted in the Yongtai Hall a few days ago, but today he was sitting in the middle of the prince of the clan. He had always been the most hostile to Feng Miao, and at this time he sneered and said, "Zhaoyi Niangniang is a good means. ”
Feng Miao was stunned for a moment, she was still thinking about how this matter should end, she was distracted for a while and didn't understand what he meant, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately said, "Is the prince suspecting that this palace is killing people and killing people?" The Huayin Hall of the main palace has been guarded by the Yulin guards these days, and no one has entered or exited, if this palace can also kill people, will the prince himself believe this statement? ”
King Dongyang retorted with a bit of arrogance, "You are Zuo Zhaoyi, and if you want to get rid of a palace maid, where can you do it yourself?" Even if the Huayin Hall is surrounded by Yulin guards, there are always eunuchs and palace maids who come in and out every day to deliver food, and it is not easy to spread the news? ”
Feng Miao replied unhurriedly, "Since this is the case, the noble concubines who are locked up in the small Buddha hall can also pass on the news to the outside world, and it is more convenient for other concubines who have not been guarded to do anything, why does the prince suspect only one person in the palace?" ”
"Other people have nothing to do with this matter, where is the use of killing people?" King Dongyang glanced at her, "The dead palace maid is the noble concubine's own personal palace maid, what reason does she have to kill her own people?" ”
Feng Miao heard this, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, and said slowly but clearly, "The prince also said just now that this palace wants to kill people and destroy their mouths?" Now he said that the noble concubine has no reason to kill his own people? Bengong was confused, if Chuntong wasn't doing things for Bengong, why did Bengong kill her? If Chuntong is doing things for Bengong, why does Bengong want to kill his own people? The prince thought it through, looking at it this way, no matter what the situation was, there was no reason for this palace to bother killing her. ”
Seeing that she was still unmessed at this time, King Dongyang also seized the loophole in her words, and ridiculed fiercely, his face turned blue with anger, and he could only reluctantly say, "Feng Zhaoyi, you still keep your sharp teeth, think more about how to explain to the emperor and His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
The matter still did not progress, and under the persecution of the prince of the clan, Yuan Ke could only order that Feng Miao be placed under house arrest in the main hall of the Huayin Palace, and she was not allowed to meet with anyone else until the emperor came back to settle the matter.
In Luoyang City, there is another person who is worried about this matter, and that is Wang Xuanzhi. The mansion given to him by Yuan Hong was far away from the palaces of other nobles, but it was very close to the palace, not only to show the emperor's importance to him, but also to facilitate his entry into the palace.
In the main hall of the mansion, a white man in civilian clothes was standing opposite Wang Xuanzhi, with no beard on his face, and he knew at a glance that he was the internal supervisor of the palace. If Feng Miao was present at this time, she would also recognize at a glance that this internal eunuch was the little eunuch who had given her Qianjin Asthma Pills back then. Wang Xuanzhi gave him money, taught him to do things, and even gave him an official name - Shi Wuquan, to help him rise to the rank of steward eunuch in the palace step by step, originally just to make it easier to do business in Pingcheng, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Wang Xuanzhi handed the written letter to him, "You just need to put it on your master's desk, you don't have to come forward in person, remember?" "The master that Shi Wuquan recognized in the palace was Li Delu, the father-in-law who was in charge of the Shen Punishment Center.
"Remember," Shi Wuquan was still like the young man who had nothing in front of Wang Xuanzhi, his face was respectful and serious, but he was a little worried, "It's just ...... Childe, it's too dangerous for you to do this, and if it is known in the future, it is not ......"
"No power," Wang Xuanzhi smiled warmly, shaking the folding fan in his hand, "Remember what I told you, wealth and danger are sought, how can there be a way in the world to be safe forever?" There you go. ”
