Chapter 20: The Past
…
The carriage stopped at the Nine Kings' Mansion, and Tang Xinyu had just helped Chu Jinye down, Yu Fan shot out like an arrow, and ran to Chu Jinye and knelt on one knee.
"The subordinates are not doing well, and they will hurt the Chitose Lord, and I hope to punish him!"
Raised his head and said with a blank face, "The subordinates waited all night under the back cliff, and they didn't see anyone jump down as Chitose Ye said, and they didn't dare to leave, and finally they didn't go up the mountain to guard, but the people sent said that Chitose Ye didn't give orders, and they didn't dare to make rash moves......"
When Tang Xinyu heard this, he felt a thunderbolt explode on his head.
She stopped. "Isn't the mountain behind Fo'an Temple a path?"
"What kind of path, is a cliff, a shrub grows in front of the cliff, the night is the most tolerant of falling, Fo'an Temple is usually not allowed to stay in the back mountain at night."
Chu An said smoothly, and only after he finished speaking did he see Chu Jinye's warning in his eyes.
What's going on with Chitose Lord's eyes? Or is Chitose not angry that he is not by his side when he is in danger?
Tang Xinyu's hand was pulled out of Chu Jinye's arm, and he sneered in his heart.
She didn't even have the heart to ask, and leaned over to salute.
"The concubine can't serve properly, so let the Yu guards take care of it."
After saying that, he turned around and left, without waiting for someone to nod.
"Alas~ How did you commit a crime!" Yu Fan was dissatisfied on the side, and said: "Master Chitose, this woman is not small, you can't want to indulge, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" ”
originally thought that she had a poor background and it was not easy to live since she was a child, but this person's temper made him really feel distressed!
Chu Jinye spoke, "Talk more, go to the elite soldiers to receive the punishment yourself." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are... What? Chitose, I'??? He looked incredulous.
When Chu Jinye disappeared from his sight, he didn't even understand why this was the way it was in the end.
………
When Tang Xinyu went back to his small courtyard, he met Zhao Yan who was in a hurry on the road, and he saw Tang Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
“… How is the prince? Early in the morning, it was rumored that Fo'an Temple was burned, and His Majesty and Chitose were nowhere to be found, and you, are you okay? ”
Tang Xinyu's gritted teeth expression instantly collapsed under Zhao Yan's concern.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm fine, as for the prince... He should be in the front yard, you go check it out. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to look at you, it's not okay to look tired, I'll call someone to send some food to support people, you go back to rest first, if you feel unwell, I will arrange for a doctor to come and see for you~"
Tang Xinyu's nose was sour inexplicably, and he lowered his head to look at his folded hands, and his palms were still aching...
Last night, she pulled the two of them to the back mountain, looking for a place to hide, her hands were already scarred, deep, bleeding, and painful...
And that person arranged a dead end for her...
Zhao Yan had already left in a hurry, not noticing her tearful eyes.
It's just that the autumn breeze is bleak, alone, and his clothes are torn, and in this magnificent place, he is even more lonely.
After all, it doesn't belong here.

In the palace.
Chu An, under the minister's condolence and ridicule openly and secretly, dragged his tired body to the place where the Queen Mother was.
He didn't even want to invite Ann this time, he just stood there dumbfounded, lifeless.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's straight body broke through the defense, bent down slightly, and turned her head sideways. "Mama Qin, you take them down, you don't need to serve them for the time being."
The grandmother standing beside her saluted and retreated with everyone in the palace, not forgetting to close the door.
"An'er, you come to the queen mother~" The queen mother beckoned.
"Erchen is here, I can hear it." Chu An's indifferent temperament made the people above show bitterness.
But he didn't force it, and lowered his eyes and said, "That's it, you're also old, and there are some things that you really shouldn't hide anymore." ”
Her red lips closed one by one, and she began to tell about the past.
Anyone born in the royal family, especially in the imperial family, is at most disturbed, and it will be involved whether you are in the game or outside the chessboard, and it will be difficult to get out.
The filial piety of fathers and sons, and the harmony of brothers in the lives of the common people are simply not worth mentioning compared with the supreme right and the lord of the world.
Chu Jinye's mother, Concubine Zhen was the most favored back then, and gave birth to a prince, and became a victim of the royal family, although the emperor was grief-stricken and knew the people behind him, but he did not dare to correct the law on the spot, and he was afraid that Concubine Zhen's son would be remembered, so he was sent to the barracks when he was five years old and went to the border pass.
At that time, there was also a prince in the military camp, who was Chu An's father... But when the emperor was drunk, he had a confused affair with a palace maid, and his identity has never been recognized...
Chu An listened in a daze.
The Queen Mother was tired of speaking, and said with her forehead propped up, "......... Your father was also sent to the barracks, and he met your Nine Emperor Uncle, but he never did, this is also the ploy of the people in the harem, so that your father and Emperor will recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors in exchange for the life of your Nine Emperor Uncle...... As for why they are still like brothers, and why your father was recognized as the lord of the world, the mourning family is not clear... After this............"
Chu An's feet were numb, and it was dark, so he listened to this story, and after selecting the information he cared about the most, he was shocked and said, "What does the queen mother mean that the imperial uncle is not allowed to marry a wife or start a family?" ”
“…… Yes, this is the oath he made after the mourning family married your father, and then on the wedding day, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
"Then Uncle Huang repeatedly refused when Erchen ordered it, why didn't you tell Erchen." He asked.
The Queen Mother bit her lip and said, "Time has passed, things are people, who cares about his youth and frivolity, not to mention, the original person died seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and now his status and status, if you want to, who dares to bring up the old things again......"
