Chapter 33: The Past Is Like Smoke
In the evening, a few tired birds swept across the sky reflecting the sunset, and lanterns were lit up on Chengdong Street.
Lin Tianshen followed behind Nanxing with his hands behind his back and walked all the way to Rong Mansion.
"Xiaoxing, how are you doing in the Rong Mansion? I'm really worried that I haven't heard from you for the past few days! ”
"Brother Tianshen, don't worry, I'm fine! Don't you know me yet? When has this girl ever suffered? Nanxing smiled very easily, as if how easy it was to find clues.
"In this way, I am relieved."
While the two were talking, they didn't notice that they walked into the street where Baixiang Building was located.
Coincidentally, Changxing in the building was walking around anxiously, and the carrot was also muttering with his head on his face.
"Oh, don't go, my eyes are spent!"
"I don't want to, but I can't help it. Where did you say the young master went? The person we sent was a step late, and Changgui said that the others had already left. ”
"Is it back to Providence?"
"I sent someone to ask, but I didn't come back!" Changxing is still walking around.
Carrot irritably left the counter and walked to the door, looking east and west at the pedestrians on the street.
Suddenly, she shouted and ran out, "Childe, Miss, wait a minute, wait a minute,"
Changxing was stunned and hurriedly ran out of the door.
I saw that the carrot was talking to the young master, and Miss Xing was standing next to her.
"Well, the young master has found it," he said happily to himself, returning to the inner room, and hurriedly took out a letter with a rattan in it.
Carrot invited Nanxing to Baixianglou to sit.
Nanxing smiled and shook his head.
It could be seen that the carrot was in a hurry to find Lin Tianshen, and it was not good for him to be there, so he refused on the grounds that he had something to do when he returned home.
Lin Tianshen didn't force him to stay, and followed the carrot with a solemn expression and hurriedly walked towards Baixiang Building.
Ziluo was stunned, she knew the rules of Fujiluo Village, if there was no big thing, she would not be in such a hurry to find the young master.
After a few more glances at Baixianglou, he reluctantly followed behind Nanxing and returned to Rongfu.
However, Nanxing did not tell a lie.
At this time, there was indeed something waiting for her in the Rong Mansion.
What happened in the eldest princess's mansion today scared Mrs. Rong as soon as she returned to the house, she found Master Rong and Mrs. Rong.
"Wei'er, Zhuxin, what do you say? What happened at the door of Baohui Pavilion back then, someone poured dirty water on Xing'er! Poor Xing'er, she has suffered such a big grievance at such a young age! Old Madam Rong felt very uncomfortable.
"Mother, the two pieces of evidence in the eldest princess's hand have been shown to Xing'er?" Rong Wei's mind changed, "What did she say?" How did you ask her back then, but she didn't speak! ”
She said she didn't do it. His Royal Highness King Ning also believes that it is not her."
"That Xing'er was really framed?"
Mrs. Rong gasped slightly, and sat there with a pale face. "Could it be a Tajikistan? Mother and daughter-in-law always feel that Xing'er has misunderstood too much. Or tell her the truth."
"That's why I brought you here to discuss and discuss."
"The current Xing'er is not capable of self-protection, so we can't talk to her too much. It would be nice to solve her misunderstandings."
"It's okay, when she comes back, let's make it clear to her one by one!"
When Nanxing took Mu Cui and Ziluo into the Star Picking Pavilion, Jinli was standing in the courtyard rubbing his hands and looking at it.
"Miss, you're back. The old lady sent you to Qingxi Hall,"
She hurriedly ran over and smiled happily, "The old lady has withdrawn all the bans. We can go anywhere."
"Got it, change my clothes. You two go to the kitchenette to find something to eat. Ben will be back later. ”
"Yes," Ziluo and Mu Cui smiled and entered the small kitchen.
After only a while, Nanxing, who was wearing a light green pleated Ruyi moon skirt, came down from the steps with a light posture, crossed the corridor, and walked all the way to Qingxi Hall.
Jin Li behind him carried the lantern and smiled as he walked, "Miss, the venison that my mother prepared for us has finally been brought back." Just put it in the small kitchen, wait for the next one, and the slave maid will make you sauce venison to eat. ”
"Okay, Jinli is delicious in everything," Nanxing echoed with a smile.
Jin Qing saw Jinli's lantern from a distance, and hurriedly greeted it, "Miss, the old lady has been waiting for you for a long time." Old lady, young master and Miss Yun are here."
"What's going on? How did you get it all? ”
"The slave doesn't know, you can come with the slave." Jinqing led the way in front, and when she arrived at the door of the small hall of Qingxi Hall, she stopped Jinli, "Don't go in, the old lady ordered that no one should come in." ”
"Oh, the slave is waiting for the young lady here," Jinli stopped.
Jin Qing saw Nanxing enter the small hall and closed the hall door casually.
Nanxing smiled faintly, saw a room of people, bowed slightly, and sat aside.
"Xing'er, grandmother called them all. It's to tell you something. Some things you didn't know about since you were a child are the only things our family is hiding from you! ”
Old Madam Rong looked at Old Man Rong and Mrs. Rong, and continued, "These things are related to the lives of our family. I also hope that Xing'er can resolve the hatred in his heart and accept us again after knowing it! ”
Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and his mind turned, "This is to be completely explained, let me hear what is going on?" ’。
"Then you can start talking, and I'll hear what the big deal is?" She crossed her legs and said absently.
"Where to start? Let's start with eighteen years ago."
Master Rong stroked his beard and said quietly, "In the first year of Yuan Jing, the new emperor ascended the throne and recruited virtuous ministers. My Rong family is deeply cared for by the eldest princess, so naturally I want to serve the court. My mother sent me a letter, and I set off from my hometown in Yiyang County to Zhaocheng. I remember that it was the night of the Guyu solar term, and the weather was getting warmer, so I hurried and entered Yunji Mountain alone. But at the foot of the mountain, he met a robber and almost died. Fortunately, General Shen Xiao and Princess Yuling rescued him, so he came to Zhaocheng with his life! ”
"Since that time, I have been grateful to General Shen for saving his life, and I often visit him in the Shen Mansion in the east of the city. Every time I go, I will bring some special products of the tower country to Princess Yuling. It was also at that time with your mother, your mother was also from Ta Guo, and she was the personal maid of Princess Yuling. The princess will make the decision and marry your mother to me! ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Rong had tears in her eyes and spoke quietly.
"In the second year of my marriage to Rongfu, I gave birth to Feng'er. He happened to be the same age as Tianlin, the second son of the Shen family, and every time he went to visit the princess in the Shen Mansion, he took Feng'er with him, and the princess also liked him, so he gave the blue bird jade of the tower country! Feng'er, take out the jade, "
Rong Nanfeng was stunned, took off the blue bird jade around his neck, and handed it to Mrs. Rong.
"In Ta Country, only the royal family can use the Blue Bird Jade, and the princess treats Feng'er as her own child! Our Shen family knows the kindness of the newspaper, and it has close contacts with the Shen Mansion! ”
After saying these words, Mrs. Rong coughed lightly.
Nanxing was stunned, remembered the green jade bird hairpin on Mama Liu's body, took it out of his arms, and asked suspiciously.
"Mama Liu is also from Ta Guo, Princess Yuling?"
"Exactly!"
Old Madam Rong motioned for Nanyun to bring the green jade bird hairpin, and her eyes were full of longing.
"Mama Liu is the old man next to Princess Yuling. Since Jing Yun has been twenty years old, he has followed Princess Yuling to Zhaoguo as a hostage. They live in the most deserted immaculate hall in the palace. At that time, the old body often accompanied the eldest princess to the Flawless Hall to find Princess Yuling, and naturally she was also familiar with Mama Liu! She was ten years younger than the old body, and the old body regarded her as his own sister."
"No, wait a minute, how can Mama Liu be my nurse? Ten years ago, she was fifty years old. ”
Nanxing only then did she understand, how did the fifty-year-old Mama Liu be her nurse?
"She is not your real nurse, let's let her follow you, take care of you, and teach you!"
Master Rong took a sip of tea and continued, "In the third year after your mother gave birth to Yun'er, the country of Jinsha changed hands, treacherous, and the soldiers invaded the border. General Shen was ordered to lead 80,000 Changxing troops to garrison Qinglongling! At that time, Princess Yuling was pregnant, and General Shen asked your mother to take care of her before going on the expedition! But your mother is also pregnant."
"Princess Yuling's health is not good, and after she became pregnant, she didn't want to eat and lose weight! Mama Liu was so anxious that she often came to the house to find a way. The old man had no choice but to tell the eldest princess, and the eldest princess sent the palace people from the imperial dining room to serve her.
Old Madam Rong still touched the green jade bird hairpin, and her tone was slow, "I finally survived until Miss was born." It was late autumn, the weather was getting colder, the princess was worried about General Shen, sent cold materials, and also spread the good news to Qinglongling! The general gave the young lady the name 'Celestial Star'! ”
Speaking of this, Old Madam Rong raised her hazy eyes and looked at Nanxing.
Nanxing smiled nonchalantly, "You have said so many things, none of them have anything to do with me. This girl was very helpless when she heard this. Can you make some important points? ”
Master Rong looked at Mrs. Rong, and then said, "When your mother gave birth to you, it was also autumn, and it was not much different from Miss Tianxing!" I thought you would grow up healthy. But who would have thought that a year later, the news of the rebellion of the Changxing Army came, and the Holy Majesty decreed that they would be executed on the spot. The poor 80,000 Changxing troops were killed without even having a chance to investigate and redress their grievances. General Shen, the eldest son Shen Tianlei, and the second son Shen Tianlin were all buried in Qinglongling. Princess Yuling was already weak, and when she heard the news, she vomited blood on the spot! ”
Nanxing was stunned, she didn't expect things to develop like this!
"General Shen died unjustly, the princess couldn't afford to be sick, and Miss Tianxing was waiting to be fed. Your mother will take Tianxing back to the Rong Mansion to feed, and hand you over to others. The princess knew that her fate was not long in coming, and she didn't want to involve the Rong Mansion, so she secretly took Tianxing back and handed it over to her personal maid Zhuqing, that is, your mother's own sister, your aunt, and quietly took her out of Zhaocheng and fled to Taguo. But the road is far away, and Miss Tianxing is congenitally deficient, and before she reaches Tajikistan, she dies. ”
Master Rong's eyes were filled with helplessness, distress, and a trace of regret.
He looked at Nanxing and continued to mutter, "The princess learned about Miss Tianxing before she died, and she was very sad!" So we will give you to her as a goddaughter, and comfort her heart. But after she and the princess died, Mama Liu came to the house to be your nurse, and she also guarded you for the princess! ”
"And then?" Nanxing muttered a question.
Later, the royal family of Ta Kingdom knew that Princess Yuling still had bloodline, so they were unwilling to look around! When they saw that Mama Liu was following you all the time, they thought that you were the child of Princess Yuling, and tried every means to rob you to go to Ta Guo. ”
Mrs. Rong looked at Nanxing with some excitement, "The princess of Taguo has a peculiar bloodline, the boy born is no different from ordinary people, and the girl born is an adult, and the bloodline is awakened. As long as you are a virgin, you can find the Black Tail of the Holy Beast in the Sun-Covering Sacred Forest and become its master! Only the holy beast Blacktail can determine who the future monarch of the tower country is? Over the years, the king of Ta has been getting older, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly, all of them want to get the black tail's recognition. So, you're in a very dangerous situation."
"We've been protecting you for six years, and we're no longer able to do it. I don't know where to send you to hide, it just so happened that you and His Royal Highness King Ning had an accident in Baohui Pavilion, so we asked for a ten-year period of cultivation and sent you to Danxia Mountain. ”
Old Madam Rong sighed deeply, "The agreement with Master Wuchen is also a last resort. We don't want the people of the Tower Kingdom to find you, and we don't want them to take you into a poisonous place like the Sacred Forest to find the Holy Beast Blacktail. Unexpectedly, you encountered robbers in the woods, Mama Liu, "
"So little sister, the eldest brother said that Rong Fu will not harm you, but I don't know how to face you," Rong Nanfeng got up and accepted the blue bird jade and patted Nanxing's shoulder.
"The past is like smoke. The grandmother didn't question the words of the old couple, because the grandmother was worried that you would be dropped by others, so she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of everyone in Rongfu! ”
Old Madam Rong took out the handkerchief with the word "star" on it.
"Today, you are in the Eldest Princess's Mansion to maintain the Rong Mansion and maintain the old body, and there is evidence from His Royal Highness King Ning. The old body believes that you are the real Southern Star! This handkerchief was originally left to you by Princess Yuling, and the eldest princess let the old body be handed back to you! I hope you can find out the real murderer and return your innocence."
Nanxing didn't know what to say for a while, slowly put away his handkerchief and looked at them.
