702.Chapter 702 - The Secret of a Life
I didn't think it was right, so I turned my head and looked at her strangely: "Why are you asking this?" β
Jingxu also had a confused expression on his face, and he was silent for a moment before he whispered to me, "She wants the poor nun to come here and help her find her son." β
"What?!"
I didn't control it for a while, my voice was a little louder, and several people around me who were swayed and drowsy by the hull of the ship woke up and looked at me dissatisfied, I hurriedly pulled up the scarf covering my chin, and carefully leaned some closer to her.
When the people around me stopped paying attention to us, I lowered my voice again and said in disbelief: "She asked you to help her - find her son?" β
"Hmm."
What's going on?
Zhao Shuyuan's son is not Pei Yuanchen, the king of clouds, who has been dead for many years, why do you still want to find him?
Isn't he dead?
Just thinking about it, I immediately subconsciously shook my head, how is that possible? Not to mention the towering fire like the one in the Qingmei Villa, I have been guarding Pei Yuanchen, and I saw him angry with my own eyes, how could he still be alive?
I turned my head to look at Jingxu and said, "Shitai's son, that is, the original King Yun, was born with my own eyes, and he has been dead for many years. Is she confused? β
"I think so." Jingxu nodded: "At that time, she was indeed a little sick, with a fever every day, and constant dream talking. It's justβ"
"Just what?"
Jingxu looked around again, making sure that no one was paying attention to the two of us, so he leaned into my ear and whispered:
At that time, she was seriously ill and said a lot of strange dreams, and the poor nun kept watch over her and listened to it. Listening to her, it was as if she had discovered some secret of the queen, and the queen wanted her to shut up, and she kept begging for something, but I didn't understand it, and after she came to her senses, she refused to say any more. β
The river seemed to be surging with my undulating heart, and I only felt that my mood was becoming more and more chaotic at this moment.
She said naturally Queen Yin, and Zhao Shuyuan was originally Queen Yin's dowry.
Don't...... It's true?
If Zhao Shuyuan's dream talk is not nonsense, could it be that Pei Yuanchen, who died in the Qingmei Villa, is really not her biological son, but Queen Yin exchanged her biological son for her in order to control her, so that this woman who is a mother can completely shut up!
If this is really the case, I can't help but say that Queen Yin's heart is ruthless enough, and she did make Zhao Shuyuan shut up for the rest of her life; And as soon as she fell, Zhao Shuyuan also completely lost the trace of her son, I thought it was because Pei Yuanchen's death made her a monk, but now it seems that maybe because she lost the last chance to find her son, Zhao Shuyuan was discouraged and would go to become a monk.
However, what is the secret that can make Queen Yin deal with the people around her like this!
I only felt a chill biting to the bone, remembering Pei Yuanchen, who was vomiting blood and crying while vomiting blood in the fire of the Qingmei Courtyard, and still thinking about Huang Tianba, suddenly had a helplessness that I didn't know whether it was sad or happy.
Perhaps, he walked away like that, and it wasn't really painful.
Jingxu said softly: "I don't know if these are true or not. It's just that she said that the eldest princess has found her lifelong trust, she is no longer worried, and the only thing she cares about is only one person. So, ask me to find it. β
My breath choked.
The Eldest Princess's ...... Entrusted for life.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps overhead, as if there were many people shouting loudly, and then there was a sound of ping-pong, which suddenly broke the silence in the cabin, everyone was shocked, and someone subconsciously said: "What's wrong?" Could it be that the ship is sinking?! β
Suddenly, the people around were frightened.
I frowned, didn't speak, but my ears caught the chaotic noise above, and someone was yelling, "Catch him!" β
"Don't let him run, little bunny!"
"See if I don't kill you!"
It sounded like someone had gotten on the boat, but somehow my heart was inexplicably tight, and I hurriedly got up and walked to the wooden ladder.
Sure enough, there was a mess outside, and the sailors were all shouting and cursing with sticks, and I had just stood firm, when suddenly a dark shadow rushed in front of me and knocked me to the ground.
"Ahh
I screamed in pain, I was almost knocked unconscious at this moment, and I heard the person who hit me subconsciously: "Help me, Aunt Qing, help me!" β
This voice-
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Ping'er who knocked me down!
I was taken aback: "Ping'er? How did you end up on board? β
Before he could answer, the sailors around him had already surrounded him, and a big man picked him up and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, if you don't give money, you want to cross the river, and you still hide behind the deck, you really think that you are all blind." β
He was not very thin, but the big man was so burly that he grabbed him like a monkey, and easily carried him to the side of the boat, and said viciously: "Go to death!" β
Seeing that he was about to throw Ping'er into the river, I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand: "Don't! Put him down. β
The big man looked back at me and said viciously, "Let him down, it's so cheap?!" It's not easy for us to pass Jiangduo once, let this kid sneak and play tricks, and everyone will learn from each other in the future! Hmph, this time I'm going to kill the chicken and show the monkey to see who else dares to do this in the future! β
After speaking, he lifted Ping'er high and was about to slam down!
I was so frightened that my feet went limp, and I grabbed him with both hands: "Don't! No! I'll give you money, I'll give him money! β
The big man glared at me, and the movement of his hand stopped.
I was so panicked that my whole body was trembling, and Ping'er was so frightened that he even forgot to struggle in his hand, watching me tremble and dig out my pocket, and pour out all the broken silver that the rue incense gave me.
A sailor next to me came over, took the silver from my hand, shook it, and immediately said, "This is not enough!" β
When the big man heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Then it's no wonder that I'm not to blame!" β
"Don't-!" Seeing that he was about to throw Ping'er down, I grabbed him tightly: "Don't hurt him!" β
"If you don't have any money, let him wait for death!"
ββ¦β¦β
I looked at the big man's merciless ferocity, and then saw that Ping'er was already frightened, gritted his teeth, his heart was crossed, and he reached out and slowly touched something out of his arms.
The man leaned over to take a look and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Yo, this silver lock is in good condition." β
After speaking, he reached out and was about to come over to take it, but my fingertips were tightly pinched, he didn't take it a few times, and his face changed: "What? Won't give? Then this little cub won't be able to stay! β
ββ¦β¦β
I bit my lower lip so hard that I almost bit it, the slight pain and the salty smell of blood stimulated my whole body to tremble, obviously all the strength was hollowed out, but the fingertips seemed to be out of my control, pinched tightly, and even the person couldn't grab it.
Ping'er kept begging: "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing help me, save me." β
I glanced up at him, and lowered my head again, the silver lock had been pinched hot by me, and the words on it had become scorching, and just when I didn't know what to do, the words that had just been said quietly sounded in my ears.
The eldest princess has found her lifelong trust......
Lifelong trust......
With a twitch of his fingertips, the hot silver lock was snatched away.
My hands were empty, and I suddenly felt that my chest, which had been beating hot, was also empty, and I watched the man take the silver lock, put it to his mouth with a greedy expression and bit it happily, and immediately smiled. Ping'er had already been put down by the sailor, and suddenly rushed to my side and hugged my arm hard: "Aunt Qing." β
I couldn't speak, my eyes blurred with tears, and my throat choked.
I suddenly wanted to cry.
Crying for my empty hands now, crying for what I have left in the past.
How did I get to where I am today?
I turned my head to look at Ping'er: "What are you doing here?" β
As soon as I opened my mouth, the voice was so strange that I didn't recognize it, it was already fragmented, Ping'er thought I was angry, and looked at me timidly: "Aunt Qing, I'm sorry." I just want to cross the river with me, I want to go to my dad myself. β
"Why do you ...... Why, so disobedient ......"
ββ¦β¦ Aunt Qing. β
I was speechless, and Ping'er looked up at me and was a little surprised: "Aunt Qing? Aunt Qing...... You, you're crying? Don't cry, I know it's wrong, I'm sorry. β
"Why aren't you obedient?"
"Aunt Qing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
No matter how much he apologized, and even reached out to hold my arm and begged for mercy desperately, I still couldn't control the tears falling down, as if the embankment had burst at this moment. The boy was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak, so he could only hold my arm all the time.
The sailors only noticed us at this time, and when they saw that I was still crying as an ugly woman, they became more and more disgusted, and pushed me: "What are you crying about? Go down and stay, the ship is about to dock. β
I staggered a step, turned my head, and looked at the man who had taken my silver lock with a vague but dull gaze, who had not cared about us at all, and only leaned on the rudder in front of me and watched the shore, the boat was already about to dock, looking at the darkness ahead, and I could only listen to the rustling sound by the wind, like the lush reeds on the riverbank.
The boat secretly crossed the river like this, and naturally it had to stop in a field where human eyes were scarce.
The sailors urged us a few more times, and I had no choice but to walk back slowly with Ping'er.
But as soon as we turned around, we heard someone say, "Why, why is it so quiet today?" β
"Isn't it good to be quiet?"
"Not really, it's just that it hasn't been like this before-"
"Alright, it's about to land, hurry up!"
