Volume 1 Chapter 2 Rebirth
Dawn died in the twenty-third year of Jiayuan, Wei Yu looked at her body, four arrows passed through her chest, and the blood flowed half of the Qianyuan Palace, and she didn't blink to death.
It was she who personally sent her to the funeral and took care of the aftermath for her, and it was impossible to fake it, but now she was standing there talking well.
Wei Yu sat blankly in the soft quilt, his mind blank.
She was reborn, back to the seventeenth year of Jiayuan, thirteen years ago.
"Your Highness, hurry up, don't you still have to go to Cining Palace to talk to the Queen Mother? I haven't seen you over there, and I've sent Mama Ma to wait in the palace. ”
Dowager? Mama Ma?
The long-ago memories revived in his brain, and Wei Yu trembled all over.
She grabbed Dawn's arm and asked straightly, "You mean the Imperial Grandmother?" ”
Dawn smiled, "Master, what's wrong?" Didn't you say in the morning that the peonies in the imperial garden were blooming well this year, and you wanted to pick some for the queen mother to wear, why did you forget? ”
Yes, in the seventeenth year of Jiayuan, the imperial grandmother is still alive.
This year, she was fifteen years old, and she was still the princess Zhaoyang who was favored by her father and grandmother, and she didn't need to worry about everything.
Da Yin is not in chaos, her father is not dead, the Yongjun is still in the northwest and there is no movement, and she still doesn't know Gu Jiaqing.
Last year was a bumper year, the four seas were peaceful, the situation between the DPRK and China was stable, a peaceful and stable, and Beijing was still planning whether to reduce taxes and silver in the spring for the Hundred Flowers Festival.
No one expected that five years later, King Huai would collude with the Zhenbei General's Mansion to rebel.
In her previous life, the imperial grandmother died in the rebellion of the twenty-third year of Jiayuan.
Blood, fire, spears, black horses, and black-armored soldiers held cold weapons in their hands, and the people fled in all directions, and there was chaos everywhere.
Someone in the city guard army colluded with the rebel army, when the palace received the news, the rebel army had already invaded the imperial city, unstoppable, the situation was chaotic that night, Emperor Cheng decided to stay in the Jinluan Palace, and would rather die than surrender.
And the Queen Mother dispatched the most elite group of secret guards around her at this critical juncture, and rushed to the princess's mansion with the talismans and jade seals of 100,000 reinforcements outside the city to escort Wei Yu out of Beijing.
The defense was empty, and she herself was intercepted by the rebels when she withdrew from the palace, and died under the rebel saber.
When Wei Yu heard the news, he ignored the guards and wanted to go back to the palace like crazy, but he was just halfway through and happened to hear the news that his father was forced to kill by King Huai in the Jinluan Palace.
Overnight, all of her closest relatives in this world were slaughtered.
She entered the palace under the cover of secret guards to take away the bodies of her father and grandmother, and couldn't even cry in front of the two bloody corpses.
After dawn, reinforcements from far away from Gyeonggi finally arrived outside the capital, but everything was settled.
The turmoil subsided after about half a month, and soon King Huai ascended the throne and the country changed hands.
The secret guard persuaded her to follow the last words of the imperial grandmother, escape from the capital, and find a stable place to live her life well.
But she looked at the tomb of the only two relatives in the world, held the talisman and jade seal of the 100,000 reinforcements entrenched outside the capital, and decided to stay in the capital.
Later, after several twists and turns, her status was embarrassing, revenge was far away, and when she was anxious, it was Gu Jiaqing who found her and said that she could help her.
She believed it, but she couldn't help but believe it, she had nothing to do at that time.
After three years of planning and cooperation, she always thought that she and Gu Jiaqing were just a simple entanglement of interests.
Until Emperor Yuan was poisoned, and she was imprisoned in Hengshan Courtyard until she died.
Wei Yu withdrew his thoughts from distant memories and looked around him.
This is the Hanzhang Palace, the dormitory of Princess Zhaoyang.
The gauze curtain is half-drawn, the red golden lotus-like incense burner rises with cigarette smoke, and the sunlight slanted on the gold brick floor.
Pearl Palace Beique, Luo Yu smokes, making people feel in a trance.
Her three souls and seven spirits swayed, as if they were being pulled down by a hand, and finally fell into place.
She did come back.
Everything is still in square one, and it has never begun.
"Your Highness, Su Xin is outside the hall, waiting for you to make up." Dawn looked at the master's face and said carefully.
Although she is not very old, she has been serving her master for many years, and she feels that there seems to be something wrong with her master, but she can't say it.
Wei Yu's eyes glanced over, and his lips opened slightly, "Su Xin? ”
Su Xin and Dawn are the two big palace maids in the Hanzhang Palace, who have been by her side since she was five or six years old, and they are her most trusted henchmen.
In her previous life, Dawn died in the rebellion five years later, she was isolated in Beijing, and Su Xin became her most valued confidant, entrusted with her sincerity, said everything, and treated her like a sister.
It's a pity that she betrayed her, and she also lived up to the friendship they grew up with since childhood.
Before she died, the scene of her confrontation with Su Xin is still vivid.
Wei Yu's originally agitated mood was suddenly suppressed a few points.
The feeling of dying was still in her.
She turned her face away and said coldly: "You let her rest first, you don't have to come to serve these days." ”
-------------------------------------
Cining Palace, Donghua Pavilion.
It was in the afternoon, the spring light was just right, the sun was warm and sprinkled down, shining on people's bones crispy, there was a lot of rain in spring in Beijing, and there were few such good days.
When Wei Yu arrived, the Queen Mother had already set up a soft couch under the flowers and trees in the courtyard, prepared tea and snacks, and talked and laughed with the old grandmother next to her while basking in the sun.
She had reached the age of ear smoothness, but she was very well maintained, and she looked no more than forty or fifty years old.
Dressed in a red bird palace suit, rubies wipe the forehead, the hair is combed in a homely bun, there are a few tortoiseshell beads pinned to the head, and a red gold eight treasures golden phoenix swaying, looking at a kind and kind old woman.
Only the eyebrows and eyes occasionally see a little sharp, and you can vaguely glimpse the shadow of the bloody court and the curtain listening to the government.
Wei Yu stood far away at the door, a little afraid to be alarmed, she felt like she was dreaming.
After the rebellion in her previous life, she had dreamed of such a scene countless times, and no one knew how much she regretted that she did not enter the palace on the night when the rebellious army entered Beijing, and she did not even see the last face of the imperial grandmother.
The Queen Mother was deaf and clear-sighted, saw her from afar, smiled kindly, and beckoned to her.
In the entire palace, she loves Wei Yu the most.
Because Wei Yu's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the first emperor, and her temperament is very similar to when she was young.
The Queen Mother was born in Jiangmen, is the eldest daughter of Yong'an Houfu, and when she was young, she fought with her father on the battlefield, and she was not a lady who did not go out of the door.
She had a very close relationship with the first emperor, after the death of the first emperor, all thoughts were discouraged, and even the power could not arouse interest, as soon as Emperor Cheng sat on the throne, she immediately returned to the government and avoided the Cining Palace, ignoring the world.
When Wei Yu was born, the first emperor had been immortal for many years, and there was no way to know how similar he was to the first emperor, but I only remembered that when the emperor's grandmother talked to her, she was indeed often stunned, as if she was looking at someone's shadow through her.
Wei Yu's throat was sore, he almost couldn't hold back his tears, he ran over, he didn't care about saluting, and threw himself into his grandmother's arms.
The soft, watery cloud satin lingered with the serene scent of sandalwood, which she remembered from her grandmother.
The Queen Mother said "yo", patted her head with a smile, and pretended to reprimand: "It's all a big girl, it's unstable like this, like a child." ”
Wei Yu held back the choked throat, rubbed it, and said coquettishly: "In front of the imperial grandmother, Zhaoyang will always be a child. ”
The Queen Mother was surrounded by old people in the palace, and she watched her grow up since she was a child, and when she heard her say this, she laughed.
Emperor Cheng's heirs are thin, and there is only one only daughter of Wei Yu.
She was born without a mother and grew up in Cining Palace since she was a child.
Emperor Cheng certainly dotes on her, but she also has a huge harem, busy with government affairs, and she really doesn't have much time to spend with her, and the closest person in her heart is still her grandmother.
The Queen Mother didn't notice her abnormality, she was old, she had decades of ups and downs, her power and wealth had reached the peak, she was no longer greedy, and the only nostalgia was this bit of family fun.
She stroked her granddaughter's long silky hair, and asked with a smile: "I'm about to leave the palace to build a mansion, are all the things ready?" ”
Wei Yu stiffened.
According to the practice of this dynasty, the princess is fifteen years old, and after the ceremony, she will go out of the palace to build a mansion.
Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion has been completed a year ago, and all the furnishings have been completed, just waiting for her to move in after the festival and the ceremony.
The name of the Jade Pavilion was almost a nightmare for her.
In his previous life, Gu Jiaqing was in Hengshan, and moved Princess Zhaoyang's mansion to the deep mountains and old forests as it was, and imprisoned her for seven years.
Seven years of struggle.
She suffered a great change, and she couldn't escape many times, and she was tossed to the point of physical and mental exhaustion.
Later, he became seriously ill, in fact, it was just a cold at first, but he didn't expect it to get worse in the end.
Although it was delayed for a long time because of the initial running along the road, if you pay attention to the maintenance, it will not be so serious.
At the end of the day, it's clear to everyone.
It's that she doesn't want to live anymore.
Heart disease is hard to treat, she is too tired.
Wei Yu clenched his fists, tried his best to restrain the trembling of his body, and said in a muffled voice: "Zhaoyang doesn't want to leave the palace, and he still wants to accompany the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother glanced down at her and said with a smile: "It's really child's talk." The imperial grandmother is old, and she just wants to be quiet, so I wish you would leave the palace as soon as possible. ”
She patted Wei Yu and instructed carefully: "If you build a mansion, you are an adult, and when you go outside the palace, your grandmother can't take care of it all the time, you have to pay attention to everything." ”
Wei Yu bit his lip and was speechless for a long time.
"But after all, you are the only daughter of your father, and no one in the capital dares to snub you. Grandmother is old and can't take care of things anymore, and if something happens to you, go to your father. Seeing that she didn't speak, the Queen Mother thought she was worried about Jianfu, and comforted her.
She said for a moment, and said with emotion: "In the end, there have been many people in the past two years, and people's hearts have also been mixed. ”
Wei Yu was stunned, his heart jumped suddenly, and he raised his head and asked, "Is there any difference between now and before?" ”
King Huai is the first Degui concubine, Degui's mother's family has long declined, he has been weak since childhood, and can not be favored by the first emperor, has no power in Beijing, will be sealed to the bitter cold northwest to the vassal.
For decades, he had a great reputation, and he was known for his loyalty to the monarch and his love for the people.
Before the Yongjun army sent troops in the previous life, no one thought that it would be King Huai's rebellion.
After King Huai launched a mutiny, the servants in the palace were quickly washed away, and her position was embarrassing, and she had no way of knowing the situation in the palace.
Could it be that my father and grandmother knew that the west was restless? Then why didn't you take more precautions in your previous life?
The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, you just pack some luggage and prepare to leave the palace happily. ”
Wei Yu grabbed the queen mother's arm and asked, "Grandmother, but what's going on in the northwest?" ”
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother snorted coldly when she said it, "A sick seedling can't become a climate." ”
Huai Wang was born with a shortage of fetuses, and when he was a child, he often took medicine and grew up soaked in a medicine jar.
In the previous life, King Huai sent troops to the northwest, all the way into the capital, and the important passes along the way were all wide open, and the court was in an uproar at that time, and it was impossible to deal with it at all, and the dispatch in a hurry was full of mistakes and omissions, and it was not like a precautionary appearance at all.
Listening to this wind now, the palace seems to have known the news for a long time, but for some reason, there is no movement at all in the entire capital, and there has been no rumor.
And listening to the tone of the imperial grandmother, she didn't put King Huai in her eyes at all.
Is it possible that such a light enemy is the main reason for the rebellion in the previous life?
