Chapter 102: Fate
Liu Yu squatted on the ground alone and cried for a long time, Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what was going on, and thought that he had cried the distinguished guest, so he jumped to his feet beside Liu Yu in a hurry.
It wasn't until Liu Yu stopped crying that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he say: "It's not early, let's go back!"
"Hmm!" Liu Yu took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and asked Zhou Mingyuan to take her to the river to wash her face, and waited until her eyes were no longer red and swollen before slowly walking back.
After the two returned to Zhou's house, the ladies began to set the meal, and Liu Yu was arranged at the table, accompanied by the uncle of the Zhou family and Zhou Mingyuan.
After dinner, Liu Yu went to the bedroom to visit Zhou Mingyuan's grandfather.
Something strange happened to the Zhou family, and the grandfather of the Zhou family, who had always been quiet, was extremely excited after seeing Liu Yu.
He drove all the people of the Zhou family out of the door, and Zhu Cixuan (that is, the grandfather of the Zhou family, after living in seclusion, Zhu Cixuan took the surname of his mother Queen Zhou) took Liu Yu's hand and said, "Child, you must already know the truth of the matter if you can find this." Are your parents good to you?"
Liu Yu stepped forward to help the old man to sit down, took another quilt and put it behind him, then sat down and said, "My adoptive parents are very good to me, and leave anything good to me." ”
"That's good, that's good. It's your grandfather who is useless and can't protect you, so he can only entrust you to General Yang. Are they okay in the capital?"
"When I was six years old, they died. Now I live alone in the capital, grandfather, why don't you go back to the capital with me? Liu Yu was silent for a while and said.
"It's useless, I'm old/sick, I've had a doctor see it a long time ago, and it's God blessed to be alive until now.
Alas, it's me who I'm sorry for General Yang. Forget it, people can't be resurrected after death.
Don't be sad, child, you can stay at home in the future! ”
Liu Yu did not say whether to stay or not to stay in the Zhou family, but asked: "Grandfather, do you know Wu Sangui? I met him before I came here, and his wife said that I was her daughter. I wonder what's going on?"
"Phew, don't listen to that traitor, you are a child of my Zhu family. That half of the jade pendant on your body can testify. Zhu Cixuan coughed excitedly as she spoke.
Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and stroked Zhu Cixuan's back with one hand to give him relief.
After he stopped coughing, he continued: "However, she said that her lost daughter has a red mole on her hand and mine too, which cannot be faked." ”
Back then, Wu Sangui betrayed the country and released the Qing soldiers into the customs; At that time, I was recuperating in Fucheng, not far from here.
My father knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, so he sent a few brocade guards to protect me.
Let me be incognito and be an ordinary person from now on. Because I have not been in good health since I was a child, I was sent out of the palace before I was born and was taken care of by my nurse.
Even in the royal family, I am a dead man. So, overall, I'm safe.
But my father was still worried that my identity would be exposed, so he killed all the palace maids and eunuchs around me, leaving only the nurse's family and a few brocade guards.
The nurse's family was born to my mother's family, and the two of them were left in their family, and the rest were all dead. So, you can rest assured that you can use it.
Several brocade guards were personally selected by their father, and they did not live up to their father's trust. All the way to Tibet, I came to this small village full of people who had fled from other places.
It didn't take long for the news of the demise of the Ming Dynasty to spread all over the country.
The people who were hiding in the village were very sad when they heard the news, and Jinyi Weiwei Shi was unwilling to be silent like this, and was ready to go to Fucheng to find out the news.
A month later, he came back and told me: 'The reason why the Ming Dynasty perished was because Wu Sangui let the Qing army enter the customs and surrendered without a fight. ’
Subsequently, he asked me for his life, saying that he would go to Wu Sangui for revenge. A man went on the road with a knife and dry food and never returned.
Later, it was the Qing Dynasty that entered the Central Plains and slaughtered the Han people, and everyone was afraid. Fortunately, the Qing army did not kill here, and An An faintly passed more than ten years.
During this time, the people who originally protected me also died or left for various reasons. Now I'm left with a sick old man.
Nineteen years ago, your parents conceived you. At that time, an old Taoist priest said, 'This child has a sense of creation. Just this sentence made my whole family tremble for a long time.
In the end, I decided to take the token left by my mother and go to Beijing to find General Yang and ask him to take care of you. In this case, if my identity is discovered by the Qing soldiers, our Zhu family can at least stay behind.
Unexpectedly, my identity was not revealed, but General Yang was killed by Aobai. ”
After saying so much in one breath, Zhu Cixuan was a little tired. Liu Yu hurriedly went to the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
While feeding Zhu Cixuan to drink water, he was wondering if that Jinyi Wei Wei Shi was the second brother's master and the former leader of the White Lotus Sect?
After drinking the water, Zhu Cixuan continued: "As for what you said about Wu Sangui's daughter, I also know something. It was stolen by him at that time.
Back then, he left here to seek revenge on Wu Sangui, because the palace was heavily guarded, and the assassination was unsuccessful and he was seriously injured.
In order to escape, he took Wu Sangui's newborn daughter out as a hostage.
Originally, he wanted to send the child to a family to give birth to, but his wounds worsened on the way, and he hid in the mountains to avoid the pursuers.
As a result, he fainted in a cave, and the child had no one to take care of him, and he did not know whether he was starving to death or freezing to death.
Anyway, by the time he woke up, the kid was out of breath. He had no choice but to find a place to bury the child.
I mentioned this in a letter to me later, in which he pleaded guilty to me, saying that he had not completed his task and that he had no face to come back.
In addition, I was afraid that Wu Sangui would follow him to find out my identity, so I didn't dare to come back. After that, there was no more news, and I didn't know if I was dead or alive. ”
Only then did Liu Yu confirm that she was really the queen of the Zhu family, not the daughter of Wu Sangui.
The red mole on his hand was also purely coincidental, and the heart that Liu Yu had been carrying could finally fall.
"Grandfather, lie down and rest for a while! When you are rested, your granddaughter will come in and talk to you. With that, Liu Yu took the quilt away and helped Zhu Cixuan to lie down slowly.
Liu Yu saw that his grandfather was asleep before leaving the room, and everyone in the Zhou family was waiting in the hall. Seeing Liu Yu come out, the uncle of the Zhou family hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Liu, how is my father?"
"Uncle Zhou rest assured, Grandpa Zhou is fine, he is asleep now. Let's wait for him to wake up and then go in!" Liu Yu stopped the uncle of the Zhou family and said.
Only then did the Zhou family rest assured and went to do other things with peace of mind. And Liu Yu was entertained by Zhou Mingyuan, a nominal classmate.
Liu Yu lived in the Zhou family like this, putting aside the affairs of the court for the time being, completely unaware that anyone looking for her was going crazy.
On Zhou Peigong's side, after Liu Yu left, he stayed where he was and waited for news. Seven days passed quickly, but Liu Yu never returned.
