Chapter 586: His Tragedy, Who Caused It?
Minghou's throat seemed to be blocked by a foreign body, and it was swollen and painful.
It took him a moment before he spat out a hoarse syllable, "Hmm." ”
He looked at Xu Zhao nervously, for fear that she would suddenly become ill.
Xu Zhao looked at the child in his arms in a daze, and big tears slipped down.
Her body trembled violently, and her face was bloodless.
The little hand stretched out in the swaddling clothes was thin and red.
The palms of the hands are five fingers and duck palms, all connected together.
Su Ruotang stepped forward and pinched the child's palm and looked at it carefully.
The four finger bones are intact, except for the little finger that is not developed, and only a small phalange.
She lowered the child's left hand and gently squeezed her right hand.
The right hand looks similar to the left, but the situation is much more serious.
Except for the thumb and middle finger, which have intact bones, the other three fingers are dysplasia.
With a slight hope in his eyes, Minghou asked cautiously: "The third princess, can it be cured?" ”
This is his child and that of his beloved.
If it can be cured, he doesn't want to let the child be trapped here for the rest of his life.
Su Ruotang raised his eyes and looked at Minghou and Xu Zhao fixedly, "If you can't cure it, will you throw the child in this life for the rest of your life?" ”
"No!" Xu Zhao hugged the child tightly and screamed, "My child, you must follow me!" ”
She suddenly broke free from Kai Minghou's maternity support, stumbled out with the child in her arms, "Baby, don't be afraid, your mother will protect you, no one can bully you......"
The third princess grabbed Xu Zhao and clicked on her sleeping hole.
Xu Zhao's body softened, turned his head to look at Minghou sadly and pleadingly, and slowly closed his eyes.
The second princess took the child from her hand and asked Su Ruotang, "Is the child ...... Incurable? ”
Over the years, there have been too many children sent to the barren mountains.
They are all defective children, and they may only have a few days in their lives.
The children who crawled and ran around the courtyard were all related to them.
If she could, she really wanted the children to be cured.
But she also understands that that hope is extremely slim.
Su Ruotang was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "I can only try, his right fingers are incomplete, and his left hand is only missing the little finger, so I can only separate his sticky fingers." ”
Minghou's eyes lit up: "Is his hand normal when he is separated?" ”
Su Ruotang shook his head: "The missing phalanges can't be replaced, but the appearance looks slightly better." ”
Her voice fell, and the light in the eyes of Ming Hou and Ming Patriarch suddenly dissipated.
After a while, Minghou smiled bitterly, "If he was born in an ordinary family, he might be able to live with this little flaw." ”
"But this is the Ming family...... "The Ming family who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
Su Ruotang understood what he meant, and did not speak expressionlessly.
People who have physical disabilities in previous lives will be discriminated against, not to mention the ancient times that attach great importance to bloodlines.
Fu Beixian tightened his brows: "As long as you live, what if you are disabled?" ”
"Most of the soldiers who survived the wounds on the battlefield were missing arms and legs, but they never gave up on themselves!"
"It's just that the body is crippled, why can't you live!"
Ming Hou looked at him with red eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "Fu Gongzi thinks that a person who is born with a cripple can be the same as a crippled person who comes down from the battlefield?" ”
Fu Beixian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What's the difference?" ”
Minghou clenched his fists.
His blood-red eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, "Those people are with honor!" ”
"And he ......"
He looked at the infant baby, and couldn't say the word 'shame'.
The child spit bubbles, did not cry or make trouble, and looked at the second princess with dark and pure eyes.
Su Ruotang raised his eyes and slowly glanced at the people in the room.
She chuckled suddenly, and the ethereal laughter was extremely clear in the heavy room.
She smiled and slowly spoke, "Patriarch Ming, who caused his tragedy?" ”
Her cold and lukewarm pupils met Minghou's eyes.
Minghou's heart was cold, and the word god on his lips was swallowed back by him.
Su Ruotang's red lips opened lightly, word by word, like a hammer smashed into everyone's hearts:
"His tragedy is caused by your parents!"
"You talk nonsense!" Minghou subconsciously retorted, "As parents, they all want their children to be safe and healthy!" ”
"Huh." Su Ruotang sneered, his voice becoming colder and thinner, "You really want your children to be safe and healthy." ”
"For only children who are safe and healthy can fight for power for you."
"A child who is incomplete and abnormal is a waste of chess, not only will it not help you, but it will also become a drag on you."
"Not really!" Ming Hou retorted dryly, "I didn't treat him as an outcast......"
"When you see him crippled, send him to a barren mountain." Su Ruotang's thick facial features were extremely aggressive, and when he smiled, he was glowing with a chilling coldness.
Her ethereal voice, without a hint of warmth, "You can rest assured that he has been cursed by the gods, punished by the gods. ”
"Send him to a barren mountain, and there will be special people to take care of him."
As she spoke, she slowly looked at the silent Quan Hongying and the others, "Do you think that you didn't drown them when they were born, and let people take care of them." ”
"You have peace of mind that their imperfections have nothing to do with you."
"These children should be grateful to you."
Quan Hongying and the others pursed their lips and were silent.
That's exactly what they think.
didn't ask for the lives of these children, and let people eat and drink well to take care of them.
They should be grateful to Dade, and their own defects are also their own lack of growth, and have nothing to do with their parents and clansmen.
Su Ruotang continued: "It's not that you haven't thought about the reason for all this. ”
"It's that you won't be willing to admit that you've done something wrong."
She smiled lowly: "The root of human inferiority is like this, and the mistakes you make will never think that you are wrong." ”
"Even if you are involved with the gods, you have to find a reason for yourself to be at ease."
Kwon Hongying's lips twitched.
I want to talk, but I don't know what to say.
Patriarch Xiao said: "This can't be blamed on us, this bloodline is pure and the ancestors are pursuing, aren't we fine......"
Su Ruotang's eyebrows sneered even more: "Yo, so it's all your ancestor's fault?" ”
Patriarch Xiao: "...... Not really. ”
"Oh, if I were your ancestor, the coffin board would have to be lifted, come up and see my filial descendants."
Patriarch Xiao shut up in amazement.
The grace on Xing Yuhuang's face completely faded, and he said expressionlessly, "Third Princess, you don't need to sarcastically mock us here. ”
"Can this child be cured?"
