Chapter Seventy-Two: The Past

Hou Ye gently stroked his wife's hair and said in a low voice: "Wanying, don't worry, I'll come back this time....... Who? Come out! Halfway through his words, Hou Ye suddenly shouted at the place where the little fish was hiding.

Oops, it was discovered. Xiao Yuxin couldn't scream well, so he had to walk in with a smile and say, "Mother......"

When Madame saw Xiaoyu coming in, she embarrassedly left her head off Hou Ye's shoulder, sat up straight, straightened her hair, and said angrily: "You girl, what are you doing hiding there?" Is there something wrong with your sister? ”

Xiao Yu smiled and shook her head and said, "Big sister is tired, and now she sleeps soundly!" ”

Madame let out a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then beckoned to Xiaoyu with a smile: "Good boy, I haven't come to see your father yet!" ”

Then he said to Hou Ye: "Hou Ye, this is Xiao Yu!" You've seen it before! ”。

"Daughter to Father!" Xiao Yu stepped forward and saluted Hou Ye, Hou Ye looked at her and said expressionlessly: "Get up!" And not much to say.

The lady smiled and helped Xiaoyu up and said, "Don't be afraid, he is like this!" In fact, I am happy in my heart, you see that he is still wearing the shoes you made on his feet! Xiaoyu peeked at it, and sure enough, under the robe of the Hou Ye was the pair of shoes she gave her, so she was relieved.

Hou Ye stood up and nodded to his wife and said, "Wanying, I will enter the palace to see the emperor now, the matter of the eldest princess will be decided!" By the way, I was busy riding a fast horse into the city alone, and Mei Niang and they are still behind, you can send someone to meet you at the city gate", after that, Hou Ye looked at his wife hesitantly, and stopped talking, but finally strode out without saying anything.

Hearing the words Mei Niang, Mrs. Madame's face changed, and she didn't say anything after all. "Xiaoyu, let's go, I'll go with you to see Pan'er." Madame was stunned for a moment before she said.

When Mrs. and Xiaoyu came to the inner room together, they saw Qi Pan lying on the bed, and Mrs. sat on the edge of the bed worriedly.

"Xiaoyu, is your sister okay?" Madame's question interrupted Xiao Yu's musings. "I'm fine, I'll be relieved after a break. Qi Pan on the bed slowly opened his eyes and made a faint sound.

Xiaoyu waved his hand and motioned for the girls and mothers-in-law to go out, leaving only the three of them. Xiao Yu sat down beside Madame and said slowly: "Mother, now you can say it, the one who has repeatedly attacked Heng'er is the eldest princess?" ”

Madame's whole body was shocked, and she raised her head in surprise to look at Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, have you already guessed?" ”

Qi Pan looked at the two of them in confusion, and couldn't help but ask, "Eldest princess?" Why did the eldest princess harm her younger brother? ”

Xiao Yu stared at Madame's face tightly and said, "Mother, are you still unwilling to tell us?" Would you rather put us all under the black hands of the eldest princess, and even let us die in a mess without telling us the truth? ”

The lady sighed and said, "Injustice, all injustice! The grievances between the eldest princess and the Hou Mansion can be traced back to ....... more than ten years ago, I thought that after so many years, I tolerated everywhere, and her anger should be almost out, but I didn't expect that she would become even worse! ”

Madam paused, took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said: "Pan'er, Xiaoyu, I will tell you all the past events, but you have to promise me that this matter can only rot in your heart, and it involves the secrets of the royal family, once it is involved, there will be a disaster of death!" I can't tell Heng'er! Qi Pan and Xiao Yu nodded in unison, and listened to Mrs. Narrate.

The grievances between the lady and the eldest princess can be summed up more than ten years ago, when the eldest princess and Li Wanying, who had not yet left the cabinet, both studied at the Beijing Women's College founded by Mrs. Qin. At that time, the eldest princess had a crush on Qi Baiyang, who often appeared with the royal brother, but Qi Baiyang fell in love at first sight with Li Wanying, who was not from a high background.

The eldest princess has always been obsessed with Qi Baiyang, but Qi Baiyang only treats the eldest princess as a sister. The eldest princess begged but couldn't turn to hatred, but she never showed it and continued to be friendly with Li Wanying.

Later, after the eldest princess came out of the cabinet, the concubine died mysteriously within half a year, leaving only Princess Yunhui, the widow.

And when Li Wanying was looking forward to it, the eldest princess came to visit the Hou Mansion many times, and every time she came, she brought various supplements that were only available in the palace. Li Wanying did not doubt him, and was even very grateful to the eldest princess for treating her differently, but when she was about to give birth, she found out that she had been infected with a chronic poison that only Miao Jiang had, and this poison was in the supplements brought by the eldest princess.

Although it was discovered before childbirth, due to the imminent delivery, the imperial doctor was helpless, which caused Qi Pan's congenital deficiency.

Qi Baiyang learned from the pain, thoroughly investigated the mastermind behind the scenes, and all kinds of suspicions pointed to the eldest princess, Li Wanying had also suffered several accidents before, and later found out that they were all the handiwork of the eldest princess. The most terrifying thing is that even the accidental death of the colt was finally found out to be inseparable from the eldest princess.

Both Qi Baiyang and Emperor Tan were shocked by the eldest princess's madness, so Emperor Tan confined the eldest princess to the royal temple in the name of praying for the queen mother, and entrusted the lord of Yunhui to the queen mother to raise.

This lockdown is more than ten years. In the end, when the Queen Mother was dying, she begged Emperor Tan to take the eldest princess back, and the county lord of Yunhui begged bitterly. Emperor Tan considered that the lord of Yunhui was getting older, and he also needed his mother to be by his side to discuss the marriage, so that the eldest princess could be free.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Buddhism has not alleviated the hatred in her heart, but she has blamed all her misfortunes in the past ten years on us. Or don't let us go again and again! ”

After Mrs. finished talking about the past with a look of reminiscence, Qi Pan and Xiaoyu were both stunned by this old thing of love and hate, no wonder the Buddhist scriptures say that there are seven sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, and can't ask for it.

This eldest princess was tortured so much that her temperament changed drastically, ruining her own life and involving countless lives.

"Then the thing that Zi Yao and Xiao Qi poisoned before, was it done by the eldest princess?" , Qi Pan asked suspiciously.

Madame shook her head and said; "I have no evidence, judging from the reaction of the eldest princess today, it is very likely that she instigated it. I am not telling you these things today, not to make you like the eldest princess who will be blinded by hatred. It's just that the heart of defense is indispensable, you need to be more wary of the eldest princess in the future, and try not to conflict with her, especially when you meet the eldest princess and the lord of Yunhui on other occasions. ”

Xiaoyu heard Mrs. say this and didn't agree, there has never been a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, and it is useless to blindly endure it.

The first few times Heng'er had a big life, if the eldest princess really succeeded, it would be too late to fight hard. Xiao Yu secretly decided that he must let Yue Gongzi find out who was behind the assassination of Heng'er!

Madame thought for a moment and then said, "Fortunately, your father came back in time this time, otherwise it would have .....!" Madame touched her face and felt palpitations.

"Your father must have made up his mind this time! You two rest assured, after all, you can't let the eldest princess's conspiracy succeed again and again! There was a rare murderous aura in Madame's eyes.

While the three of them were talking, Zhou's mother walked in. "Madam, Mei Niang has arrived, and I will come over to greet Madame in a while. In addition, the Hou Ye also transported a few truckloads of sustenances back, how does the lady see how to arrange it? Zhou's mother said as she carefully observed her wife's face.

"This is the time, you can ask her to meet in the flower hall in a moment. She still lives in the former Huancui Pavilion, which is clean. Those specialties, you send someone to count them according to the list and put them in the side courtyard first, and then wait for the Hou Ye to come back to see how to arrange them! Madame quickly asked Zi Yan to rearrange her makeup and hair, while her mouth crackled and ordered.

It seems that Mrs. is quite concerned about this Meiniang who is about to meet, didn't she say that she used to be the maid ring next to Mrs.? Why is Madame so nervous? Xiao Yu sat on the side, a little confused.

Madame quickly cleaned up, Zi Yan covered Madame's crying eyes with powder, and then applied a thin layer of lipstick to Madame, so she couldn't see that Madame had just experienced such a big change as the eldest princess.

"Xiaoyu, you also go out with me to meet Meiniang, anyway, sooner or later!" As soon as the lady walked to the door of the inner room, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and commanded Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu smiled and folded the quilt for Qi Pan, then walked to Mrs. Niang's side, gently held Mrs. 's arm and said, "Mother, let's go!" The lady bowed slightly to the little fish with satisfaction, and the two walked to the flower hall together.

There was already a woman standing in the middle of the flower hall, and when she saw her enter, she hurriedly came over and saluted.

Xiao Yu looked at this woman attentively, she was in her early twenties, her face was slightly dark, and she thought that the cold wind at the border pass was blowing, and her skin was relatively rough. The facial features are ordinary, and there are some inconspicuous freckles on the cheeks.

The woman wore a bun with only two grass flowers on her head, and wore a homely apricot yellow cotton jacket with a slight whitish edge, indicating that she had been wearing it for a long time. This woman's dress is not said to be the aunt of the Hou Mansion, but Zi Yan is dressed more delicately and stylishly than her.

But what attracted Xiaoyu's attention the most was the woman's slightly bulging lower abdomen, yes, she was not mistaken, the woman in front of her should be pregnant!

Madame was evidently aware of this, and her piercing gaze scraped back and forth several times at the woman's lower abdomen, and the woman bowed and then shrank aside.

The lady held Xiao Yu's hand, walked to the head and sat down, and Xiao Yu sat on the chair on the right.

"Mei Niang, sit down!" , the lady said to the woman kindly. The woman shrank for a moment, and then plucked up her courage and said to the lady: "In front of the lady, how can there be a seat for the slave and maid, the slave and the maid dare not sit, just stand still!" After saying that, he lowered his eyes and waited for Madame's orders.

Xiaoyu watched coldly, no matter how she looked at this Meiniang, she was an honest and loyal woman, how could Mrs. attach so much importance to it.
