Chapter 48: The Second Prince Slowly Soves the Seeds of Hatred
"Bang, Bang, Bang"
It's been three watches in the night.
When Ming Thorn Star arrived at the "Liyang Palace", Concubine Yun Shuwan's bedroom was still brightly lit. The lady concubine was sighing in front of the wooden collapse, and the personal maid Xiaoyue was sobbing in a low voice on the side.
As soon as Ming Tingxing saw that the concubine had not rested, and he didn't have time to wait for the maid to report, he hurried into the dormitory and came directly to see the concubine.
"Xing'er"
When the lady saw her son visiting late at night, she immediately stood up in surprise.
"The Mother"
Ming Thorn Star answered, and turned his head to look at the maid Xiaoyue: "Why are you still crying by your mother's side late at night?" ”
Xiaoyue stopped crying when she heard this, and said timidly: "The slave should be damned, today I accidentally ran into the queen's personal maid in the imperial garden, and as a result, the lady was severely humiliated by the queen in public. Slaves deserve to die. ”
After Xiaoyue finished speaking, she kept kowtowing and apologized, and her forehead was bleeding unconsciously.
"It's really unreasonable, it's too bullying."
Ming Thorn Star whispered fiercely, and then waved his hand to order Xiaoyue and the maids to retreat.
As soon as the lady concubine saw her son retreating, she knew that there must be something important, and immediately asked softly: "Emperor, the mother concubine has just been wronged, so you don't have to take it to heart." You came late at night, but what's the matter? ”
Ming Tingxing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Mother, the son wants to ask his mother about something, and he also asks his mother to tell the truth." ”
After Ming Thorn Star finished speaking, he opened the two road encounters, and then informed Concubine Shuniang about his bizarre life experience. Before he finished speaking, Ming Tingxing clearly felt the constant change in the expression on his mother's face, and in the end, he couldn't hide his excitement at all. From the expression of Concubine Niangniang, Ming Tingxing basically had the answer in his heart, but this cruel reality was unacceptable to him no matter what, so he had to listen to his mother's own admit.
"Mother, is this true?"
Ming Thorn Star asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Concubine Shu looked at Ming Tingxing, there were already tears in her eyes, and after a long time, she finally nodded heavily and said: "Emperor, this is an eternal pain in the heart of the concubine, I don't want to mention it again, I don't want to admit it." But the concubine knows your character, and the more you don't admit it, the more you have to check. Remember, don't mention this matter in the future, if it spreads, our mother and son will be killed, which is the crime of bullying the king. ”
When Bright Thorn Star heard this, he felt like he had fallen into an ice hole. It seems that all this is true, and his biological father is really not the current emperor, but someone else. No one can bear this big change, let alone a prince with a noble status. Listening to the meaning of the mother, the father did not know that he was not born to him, and if it was passed out, he and his mother would definitely be a dead end.
Concubine Niangniang looked at the dark night outside the window, and her voice seemed to be in a dream: "Twenty-eight years ago, an unprecedented fierce battle broke out between 'Nanyun' and 'Beizhao'. The 'Nanyun' Emperor Ming Qichen drove the expedition in person, and outside the Yanmen Pass, a total of 600,000 troops from both sides started a melee battle. ……”
Ming Thorn Star sat beside his mother and listened attentively, as if he was afraid of missing a word.
The voice of the lady became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a crying voice. It turned out that 28 years ago, the "Nanyun" emperor Ming Qichen led the army to attack the "Northern Zhao", and the generalissimo of the "Northern Zhao" border pass, Feitianyun, started a big battle outside the Yanmen Pass. Ming Qichen used a counter-plot to divide the relationship between Feitianyun and the emperor Xiao Chaotian of the "Northern Zhao", which led to many variables in Feitianyun's army, and many generals fled back to the "Northern Zhao". In that battle, Feitianyun was captured by the rebels and handed over to the "Nanyun" emperor Ming Qichen. Allowing Ming Qichen to be tempted in every way, Feitianyun was unmoved, and finally because of scolding Mingqichen, Feitianyun was tragically killed by five horses.
The defensive line of Yanmen Pass was broken, and the people of "Qiliang Town" in "Northern Zhao" outside the pass suffered a catastrophe due to their resolute reluctance to merge into the "Nanyun Kingdom", and almost all of them were slaughtered. At that time, the lady concubine and the personal maid happened to be in an attic in "Qiliang Town". Concubine Niangniang is the daughter of Shi Yun Yongtai, the assassin of Jiangzhou in the "Nanyun Kingdom". Twenty-nine years ago, Yun Shuwan met Feitianyun in Yangzhou, and the two fell in love at first sight, and soon made a private lifelong agreement. At that time, Feitianyun had passed the age of standing and had a wife's room, but Yun Shuwan was still impressed by his heroism and devoted herself to Feitianyun. Because Feitianyun was the general of "Northern Zhao" at that time, and Yun Shuwan was a "Nanyun" person, the two countries were hostile, so Yun Shuwan didn't dare to show her father at all, and the two could only secretly communicate like underground lovers. A year later, Feitianyun was promoted to the generalissimo of the "Northern Zhao" border pass, responsible for the external defense of all foreign enemies. At this time, Yun Shuwan also happened to be pregnant with Ming Thorn Star. This relationship between the two is no longer known except for Yun Shuwan's personal maid Qiuhong. More than half a month later, Feitian Yunzhong was divided by the "Nanyun" emperor Ming Qichen. The border town "Qiliang Town" outside the "Yanmen Pass" was bloodbathed by the army of the "Nanyun Kingdom". Qiu Hong fled to cover Yun Shuwan and died under the random arrows. And Yun Shuwan did not escape the pursuit in the end, just when Yan Kaitai, the pioneer of the "Southern Cloud Kingdom", was about to behead him, it happened that Ming Qichen passed by and found Yun Shuwan. Yun Shuwan's beauty immediately attracted Ming Qichen, and soon brought her into the palace as a side concubine. Because Yun Shuwan was pregnant with Feitianming's child for less than a month, no one in the palace could see that Concubine Shuniang later gave birth to Ming Thorn Star. Qiu Hong, the only one who knows, has died, and even Yun Shuwan's parents don't know that their daughter has a relationship with the enemy marshal, so this sad past is permanently buried in Yun Shuwan's heart.
Finally finished talking about the past, Concubine Shu's face had a slightly relaxed expression, but after a while, her expression immediately became nervous, and she lowered her voice and said: "Emperor, you must not mention this matter again in the future, otherwise, our mother and son will fall to the ground at any time, and Yunfu will be implicated." ”
Ming Thorn Star nodded silently, the whole person was like a walking corpse, without any thoughts and spirits. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, since Qiuhong, the only one who knows, has died, how can anyone still tell Erchen about this?" ”
"This ......"
Concubine Niangniang was also shocked when she heard this, and only the dead Qiuhong around her knew about it. There is also a situation where Feitianyun once mentioned this evil relationship with others. At the moment, there is really only one possibility.
Ming Thorn Star also felt that the only possibility was that his biological father, Fei Tianyun, had told this secret to others. Seeing that everything was revealed, he told his mother a few more words, and in a blink of an eye, a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, and the maid Xiaoyue re-entered the dormitory to serve the concubine. This lady has the habit of getting up early to chant Buddha, and over the years, she has been meditating in a hall in the dormitory as soon as the sun is shining. After a whole night's sleep, Ming Tingxing also felt a little tired, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately asked: "Why did you only see Xiaoyue and Qiulan?" She knows how to do martial arts, and she should always stay by her side to protect her mother. ”
"Oh! I asked her to bring a few people to send some precious medicinal herbs to Jiangzhou to your grandfather. Your grandfather and grandmother are old, and they haven't been in good health for the past two years. ”
After the lady lady finished speaking, she whispered and urged Ming Thorn Star to go back to rest quickly. Ming Thorn Star said goodbye to his mother and left the palace with extremely complicated feelings, and was about to go towards his palace. But as soon as he came out of the dormitory gate less than ten zhang away, he found a fast horse galloping over. As soon as Ming Thorn Star saw the person, he immediately recognized it, it was Liu Er, the guard in the palace of the concubine.
"Liu Er, what's going on? Hold it. ”
Bright Thorn stood in the middle of the road, blocking the fast horse's path.
As soon as Liu Er saw that it was Ming Thorn Star, he immediately reined in the reins of the horse and turned over and dismounted, ran quickly in front of Ming Thorn Star, and said breathlessly: "Second prince, it's not good, Qiu Lan was shot to death by the guards in the palace." ”
"What?"
Ming Thorn Xing's whole body was like a lightning strike, just now the mother concubine also mentioned that Qiulan went to Jiangzhou to send medicinal herbs to her grandfather, why was she shot by the prince's people in a blink of an eye?
"We were on the way back last night, and we happened to meet the prince hunting at night, and Qiulan saw that a white deer was injured and appeared to the rescue. She didn't know in advance that Bailu was injured by the crown prince, nor did she know the guards in the palace. The two sides fought without saying a word, and the people in the palace had already shot Qiu Lan on the spot on the grounds that he had assassinated the prince. ”
"On the spot...... Shoot...... Kill. ”。
Ming Tingxing's heart was on fire when he heard this, originally tonight his mother was humiliated in public by the prince's biological mother, the queen mother, and he felt that his mother and son were being bullied. Now the concubine's personal maid was shot and killed by the people of the prince's mansion, which clearly shows that he does not take his mother and son in his eyes.
"Let's go, go to the Tai Womb."
