"It's not like that," she said. ”

"The eldest brother and the eldest Sima have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and I know that I care about your second brother, so I decided to stay in Jincheng for the time being to find out the truth. After more than two months, the eldest brother finally sent a message back to tell me that he had been found covered in injuries in a mountain col. ”

Second brother? The second brother didn't die? Chu Hanzhang was surprised in her heart, but she didn't say anything again, she could hear that what Song Chaohua wanted to say to her at this time was very important, and her situation was very bad, in order to ensure that she could finish everything she was going to tell her, she couldn't interrupt again.

Song Chaohua's voice gradually floated, "After your second brother was rescued, he was in a coma for many days, and I couldn't worry about it, so I lied to the outside world that I wanted to go to Jincheng for your second brother's filial piety." Actually, at that time, I didn't like your second brother very much, although your second brother is very knowledgeable and is a rare young man in the capital, but he has a cold and lonely temperament, so he smiles at you more.

I have not been in good health since I was a child, so I am sensitive and thoughtful, I met your second brother at the age of eight, and since then, although I have a relationship because one wants to be cured, and the other is cured, but for him, I am more grateful than like. But no one saw my thoughts, not even my eldest brother, and it was thanks to him that he didn't see it, so when I heard that I wanted to go to Jincheng, I didn't stop me much, so I could meet him very smoothly.

The three years in Jincheng are the best three years of my life, and it is also there that your second brother gradually treats me like you, he will make a copy for me when he makes wood carvings for you, and will take me to fly the kites that can't be taken to you on a warm spring day.

He fell in love with me, and I couldn't help myself.

But the illness did not let him go, he still died, holding a kite in his hand, and fell in the first spring rain in Jincheng. Before he died, he told me that the fire in the twenty-fifth year of Xiaowu was set by His Majesty, who had succeeded to the throne as emperor. ”

"Your Majesty?" Chu Hanzhang burst out excitedly, his eyes full of disbelief, "Impossible, Your Majesty has been the best with the second brother since he was a child, why would he do that, he has no reason, he won't do that." ”

Song Chaohua didn't feel angry at Chu Hanzhang's appearance, but just looked at her quietly, there was no hatred in his eyes, no anger between his eyebrows, and he was very plain, "In the twenty-fifth year of Xiaowu, Empress Shangguan was seriously ill, in fact, it was because Jiantian Pavilion transferred the longevity on her body to the first emperor, so at that time, the first emperor would re-favor His Majesty, who was an abandoned son, and finally, he was named the king of Qin and became the candidate for the crown prince."

But although it is an alternative, although it is possible to be abolished if the title is not determined, once you taste the power, everything will be lost, Your Majesty in order to become the rightful prince of the East Palace, you will deliberately want to win over your father and my eldest brother.

Da Sima and Mrs. Shangguan's love is stronger than Jin's, so although Da Sima has upward ambitions, he was defeated by Mrs. Shangguan's weak heart in the end. In the past, the emperor's suspicion of the Chu family made Mrs. Shangguan disgusted with officialdom and scheming, and she only wanted to go back to the mountains and forests with your brothers and sisters, and only wanted to be a pair of idle clouds and wild cranes in this troubled world with Chu Dasima.

His Majesty, who failed to win over the Chu family, had ill intentions towards your eldest brother and second brother, although at the beginning, the two of them were forced by the first emperor and Da Sima to put on armor, but in the end, he was the only one who hurt them.

He just wants them to die in a foreign land, so that Da Sima will be resentful of the first emperor and chase for power again, so that Mrs. Shangguan will be depressed because of the disagreement between Da Sima and his wife because of the matter of his two sons, so that he will not be able to afford to be ill. Song Chaohua let out a long sigh of relief and lowered her eyes, and the blood on her neck was happy because of her great joy and sorrow.

She stepped on Chu Hanzhang's shocked expression that had not recovered, and said, "If it is really just like this, then our majesty is only good at scheming, but Zhang'er, you don't know, he is far more than that, he does so much, one side is for power, and the other side is for you." ”

"For me?" The muscles on her hands were bruised, as if they would break at the slightest movement.

"Yes, we will never guess, Yuan Ke, he is such a brute. He killed your second brother, calculated your eldest brother, and indirectly killed Mrs. Shangguan, yes, and the relationship between you and Da Sima, this pile, one by one, all he wants is that you belong to him alone.

So, I'll let me kill your eldest brother after he's brought back. ”

"Kill my big brother? Sister Hua, ...... you" She took two steps back, her hands were casually placed to the side without direction, her eyes were full of disbelief, "Sister Hua, how could you, how could you kill my eldest brother?" This joke is not funny at all, sister don't say it, I don't want to hear it, I, I don't want to hear it at all. ”

She kept praying to her, but Song Chaohua didn't follow her this time, she took her hand, leaned forward uncontrollably, and collapsed to the ground, the gauze was loosened, and the blood beads kept gushing out as if they had been summoned.

Such a red eye suddenly made Chu Hanzhang go back to three years ago, in Fusong Garden, Chu Bowen seemed to be like this, slowly, slowly died in front of her, she panicked, her hands and feet knelt and threw herself at her in a panic, she held her in her arms, and covered her neck with trembling hands, "Come on, come on, help, help-Sister Hua, I was wrong, Zhang Er didn't get angry with you, didn't coax you, didn't mess around with you, don't, don't-"

She took her hand and smiled weakly, "Zhang'er, Zhang'er!" She changed her over and over again, and she replied over and over again, "I'm here." ”

Finally, she took the last shred of strength and said, "Don't blame me, Zhang'er, don't, don't blame me, I, I..."

"I don't blame you, sister, I know, you can find Cui Lian, and you also know the past of the eldest brother and her, right? I don't blame you, I really don't blame you, you don't want to die, this deep palace is too cold, I can't, I can't live without you, sister-"

"Okay, don't blame me." After hearing Chu Hanzhang say that he would not blame himself, Song Chaohua finally unloaded the last trace of strength on his body, and fell softly in her arms, his eyes were foggy, he looked out of the window, and said leisurely, "I don't know, Huangquan, is there a spring, he said, kite flying, the best, the best season, yes, yes, yes...... It's spring! ”

Once the spring is full of wind, the most is the kite flying place. Chu Zhongyi, in the next life, only give me one person to fly a kite, okay?

It is recorded in the Book of Wei that Emperor Xuan's concubine, the Song family, was the county lord in the past, and was married to the second son of Chumen, and after the death of Chuzi, he entered the palace as a concubine, and died in the summer of the ninth year of Xuanwu, at the age of eighteen, and was in the prime of life.

After Song Chaohua's death, Chu Hanzhang fell seriously ill again.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, wake up, Song Ge is here." Su He looked at the frequency of the figures outside the house, and whispered to wake up Chu Hanzhang, who was pretending to sleep on the bed.

"Are you coming?" One by one, her eyes opened.

"Servant Song Ge, please say hello to my mother." The same opening remarks as that night.

Chu Hanzhang nodded at her, "Did you bring everything here?" ”

Song Ge glanced behind him, and a wooden box was carried by the palace people and sent to Chu Hanzhang.

"So much?" Chu Hanzhang was puzzled for a while, "Isn't it just some items in front of Sister Hua?" How can there be so many? ”

Song Ge lifted the wooden box, "These are all kites that Madame made for Niangniang in her spare time, Madame, she really wants to take Niangniang to fly a kite with her." ”

Chu Hanzhang got out of bed with his shoes on, walked to the wooden box, and touched the blue and red kite surface painted with an eagle falcon on his fingertips, and his eyes couldn't help but be watery, "I know, I've always known." ”

"Is my sister's everything here?"

Song Ge said, "After the Chaohua Palace was sealed, Madame put everything that was going to be left for Niangniang in this wooden box, and most of the others were unimportant rewards, thanks to Niangniang's intelligence, she not only escaped Your Majesty's responsibility by getting sick, but also made Your Majesty agree to send these things from Madame to Niangniang."

I don't know, what does the mother want these things for? ”

Chu Hanzhang replied to her, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't bear my sister, and I always feel that I have to keep some thoughts around me." Thank you very much today, you are now in Zhilan Pavilion as an errand when you were in Chaohua Palace, it is better to go back quickly, so as not to make Ling Ronghua angry. ”

"Yes!" Song Ge knew that Chu Hanzhang didn't want to say anything more to him, so he exchanged a look with Soho and then withdrew from the Qiuhe Palace.

After Song Ge left, Su Ho said, "Niangniang wants these things from Mrs., do you really just want a thought?" Madame has also sent a lot of things to the Autumn and Hall before, and those things, too...", can also be used as a thought.

After that, Soho didn't say it.

Chu Hanzhang bent down and took out a strange-looking clay figure from the box, studied it in his hand for a while, and said, "My sister told me a lot of things before she died, most of those things are unacceptable, I don't know if what my sister said is true, and I don't want to believe it completely, so I want to find the answer myself." ”

"What did Madame say to the mother?"

Chu Hanzhang looked at Soho seriously, and after a long time, he said, "My sister said that the fire that buried the second brother was lit by His Majesty. She also said that she found Cui Lian, who treated her eldest brother's eye disease, but this matter was also forced by His Majesty, and it was His Majesty who killed my two elder brothers, the purpose of which was to force my father to help him seize the throne, and second, to make all the people close to me die in Huangquan. ”

Every time Chu Hanzhang said a word, Soho's eyes blinked violently, and finally, before the word Huangquan fell, Soho fell to her knees, her head slammed on the ground, "Niangniang!" The servant is at fault, and the servant should not hide it from the mother. ”

"What are you hiding from me?" She asked.

Su Ho raised his head, and with tears on his face, he told her what she heard outside the Zheliu Pavilion and what she asked her mother Pei Mama to find out later.

It seems that this successive bad news has tempered her mind, she didn't cry this time, she looked ahead with empty eyes, and after a while, she laughed stupidly, "You know, it turns out that even you know." ”

Su He still wanted to kneel, but was pulled by Chu Hanzhang, "If you want to atone for your sins, help me figure it out and collect all the evidence." ”

"Niangniang—" she looked at her worriedly, "Niangniang, do you know what Madame's greatest wish was before she died?" ”

"What?" She asked mechanically.

Soho took out a letter from his cuff, leveled it and handed it to her, "Niangniang, Mrs. and Second Son, what I want most is that you can be free!" ”

Taking advantage of Chu Hanzhang's reading of the letter, Su He said slowly, "The maid believes that if the eldest prince and the second prince are still there, they will not want to see Niangniang fall into conspiracy and calculations in order to avenge them. ”

"They, you want me to leave?" The letter slipped through her fingers.
