Feeling that my face had changed, Mrs. Hanyu smiled and said, "These girls, Miss Yan must be no stranger to them at all." ”

I smiled, how could it be strange?

I've been involved with these three women for half my life, how can I be a stranger to them?

It's just that this Mrs. Hanyu's words made me a little stunned - it turned out that Yang Jinqiao had known Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu, and Chang Qing since she was a child. But in retrospect, it is not surprising, after all, these people can be regarded as famous families in the capital, so the young ladies of the Zhumen embroidery household naturally have their circle, and they will know each other since childhood, which is not unusual at all.

Even when I chatted with Chang Qing in the past, she was not completely disgusted with Nangong Lizhu, thinking that they grew up together since childhood, although they later fought for favor in the harem for their own families, the friendship that grew up together since childhood has not completely disappeared.

I smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Jin Qiao and the Queen Mother, as well as Concubine Li-" I paused for a moment, and then remembered that Nangong Lizhu had been demoted before, and I didn't know if her grade had changed over the years, so I didn't want to say more, so I just smiled and said, "I'm friends with them." ”

"yes. However, Jin Qiao couldn't get along with them. ”

"Why?"

Mrs. Hanyu glanced at me with a smile and said, "Jin Qiao has refused to come back to see us all these years, but he went to see Miss Yan alone, which shows that the two of you have a deep relationship." Her life experience, I think she must have told you too. ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment.

By the way, Yang Jinqiao's mother is a dancing girl, and her identity is only a concubine, and she gets along with Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu and Chang Qing, and she is unnaturally shorter, she is a strong woman, and she is also very sensitive, so it is not surprising that she can't get along with them.

"And—" Lady Hanyu continued, "Jin Qiao, this girl, is very wild, and she is not the same as those girls. Their marriages were all obediently arranged by their elders, but Jin Qiao ......" she said to herself, and her eyes dimmed.

The marriage of those eldest ladies is indeed obediently obeyed the arrangement of the elders, especially Shen Rou, the combination of her and Pei Yuanhao is almost what I have witnessed from beginning to end, speaking of which, I don't know if she has her own love and hate in her heart, but even if she has, in the face of her own family, in the face of such a powerful imperial power, she has no choice.

Therefore, even Chang Qing, she can only bury Huang Tianba's shadow deep in her heart.

But Yang Jinqiao is different from them, even if she was sent to Shangyang Palace by her father and became Pei Yuanhao's concubine, she still refused to succumb to that fate, but used the happiness of her life to make a bet, although in the end, she still lost after all, and she and Yang Yunhui failed to stay together after all.

I don't know why Mrs. Hanyu suddenly told me this, but for the sake of safety, I still didn't answer that sentence, but smiled curtly: "No matter what, Mrs. Jin Qiao still married into Shangyang Palace." This is also in accordance with the orders of Lord Yang and Mrs. Yang. ”

"You don't know what it was like at that time."

"Trouble?"

I frowned in astonishment and looked up at her: "Who is making trouble?" ”

Mrs. Hanyu smiled faintly: "Of course it's the girl from the Nangong family." ”

“……！”

Nangong Lizhu?!

I was a little surprised, and I lost my reaction completely, and looked at her in a daze: "She? Why should she—"

Mrs. Hanyu said: "Half of it is because Jin Qiao is going to marry into Shangyang Palace, and the other reason is probably because the prince's choice of concubine has been decided at that time." That girl, I usually don't see that she has such a fierce nature, I heard that even the palace sent the imperial doctor to the Nangong Mansion, and then for a long time, she didn't appear in front of everyone. ”

I gasped.

I know some of the past between them, and I have heard Nangong Lizhu say that Pei Yuanhao refused to give up the throne and chose to oppose Queen Yin, that is, he gave up the possibility of being with Nangong Lizhu, and his behavior at that time should have hurt her deeply, but I don't know what he hurt her.

But I didn't expect that today, I heard about it from Mrs. Hanyu's mouth.

I stammered, "Then she-"

Mrs. Hanyu smiled and said, "Of course, the people of the Nangong family won't say those things, but the words are always passed on. I heard that at that time, she made a fuss so that the people in the family couldn't hold it down, and then it was Emperor Yin, or her aunt and mother who left the palace and went to Nangong's house to visit the girl, and she finally quieted down. ”

“……”

It is said to be a visit, but it cannot be a real visit. As soon as I heard Mrs. Hanyu's tone, I could hear that Queen Yin's methods made me suffer enough back then, if she wasn't that kind of person, I was afraid that Pei Yuanxiu would not have such a deep scheming.

In fact, things are very simple, Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are happy with each other, if they can really be together, it will be a good story in the world, but one was born in the emperor's family, and the other is a young lady from a family with close ties with the royal family, and their marriage is completely beyond their control. Pei Yuanhao accepted Yang Jinqiao at that time, that is, the alliance formed with the imperial merchant Yang Wanyun and Yang Yunhui, which showed that he had the intention of seizing the throne, and of course Empress Yin had to immediately find a better backing for the crown prince, that is, the Nangong family, so that the two of them would be completely separated.

Now that I think about it, in the whole thing, only Nangong Lizhu is really cute and pitiful.

At that time, she probably wouldn't understand why the love she regarded as her life was so vulnerable in the eyes of these people, but now she must have understood very well that those feelings and loves are just a passing moment in the face of imperial power.

lost the pure and simple woman who would ignore him for him, and got such a scheming Nangong Lizhu who learned to calculate people's hearts today, for Pei Yuanhao, is it happy or sad?

However, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Why did Mrs. Hanyu come to tell me this?

Even if Nangong Lizhu used to fight with me for life and death, but now that everything has passed, as long as I don't look back, I won't have anything to do with them, and then tell me about their past, what's the point?

Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "However, these are also in the past. ”

"yes, it's all in the past."

Mrs. Hanyu smiled, but there was no smile in those bright eyes.

I even felt a sharp prick shoot out of her eye.

Then, as if she was suppressing something, she said slowly: "But there are always some things that will not pass, and there is no way to pass." ”

"......" I was stunned for a moment: "Mrs. Hanyu means-"

She said: "Miss Yan is also a mother, of course she knows the meaning of my words. ”

“……”

"Yunhui is my only son."

“……”

"It was also once the hope of the entire Yang family."

“……”

"I heard that when he died, there was a man who was always by his side to comfort him."

“……”

"That's you, Miss Yan, right?"

“……”

At this time, I was speechless, I only felt that the blood on my face had faded in an instant, leaving a pale complexion, and even my fingers had become cold, and when I put it on the table, I lost my senses.

Her words made me go back to the old days.

When I was still in Shengjing, I watched Yang Yunhui's chest rise a burst of blood mist, the mist steamed, stained my eyes red, and seemed to dye the whole world red, when I stumbled down the long steps to pick him up, his eyes had lost the possibility of life.

I subconsciously clenched my fists.

Lady Hanyu's voice echoed in my ears like a ghost—"It's you, isn't it?" ”

“……”

I was silent, choked up, slowly raised my head, looked at the mother in front of me, and finally nodded gently: "Yes." ”

"That's good." Mrs. Hanyu smiled, the corners of her mouth hooked, but I felt that it was a smile she made, at this time, she actually didn't want to laugh at all, and even, I felt a burst of suppressed anger from her breath.

Perhaps, it's not just repressed at this time.

She said, "I have something that I have always wanted to ask you. ”

"Please."

"Who was he with when he sent troops from Dongzhou?"

“…… Huang Tianba. ”

"That is, the one in Jiangnan?"

"Yes."

"Who's leading the troops?"

"It should be Yang Yunhui's son."

"Whoever gave the order."

"This—" I remembered the beginning, but it was always vague about it. I remember when I asked Yang Yunhui if Pei Yuanhao was coming to save me, he replied "Huang Tianba", that is, Pei Yuanhao should not have given an order.

But if he didn't give the order, then Yang Yunhui wouldn't be able to transfer those soldiers.

So, I shook my head: "I, I don't know. ”

Mrs. Hanyu's face darkened slightly, but she didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "Later, they were caught in Shengjing, how did that prince of Shengjing treat them?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Lock us all up." ”

"Even you?"

"Yes."

"How long has it been closed?"

"Ten days."

"Did I beat or scold you?"

“…… No. ”

"Yunhui, was he not executed by them?"

I shook my head, "No." ”

My questions and answers with her were simple and neat, but my heart was by no means as calm as my expression at the moment, on the contrary, there were turbulent waves.

Why did Mrs. Hanyu suddenly ask about the things back then.

Is she investigating the cause of Yang Yunhui's death?

It is no secret that Yang Yunhui died in Shengjing, under the coercion of Luo Shi, and under the sword of Huang Tianba, and she didn't ask a word, obviously, what she wanted to investigate was not this.

So, what is she looking for?
