One hundred and forty-six old things
"Emperor, Your Majesty." Princess Mingshou panicked: "I don't want three conditions, just one, just one. Please spare my family's life and let us go back to our hometown in Yuezhou. I will never go to Beijing again, and I will never cause trouble for the emperor."
She breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was afraid that she would not have the chance to say it. She didn't hold it and pinch it like she did just now, and she kept talking: "The emperor said nothing wrong. I only know that the old thing that happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, the mother and the Imperial Hospital had discussed with the Jinshi Department of the Imperial Hospital. When he came to write about his mother's pulse case, others could not get into it. Later, the mother and the queen did not show up in front of others. When she was about to show up, she would put on a fake belly like a water bag. I heard Bai Shanggong say that the pillows and silk cotton are too light, which would make people look dissatisfied. The water bags were so heavy that they looked more like real when they stood."
Xie Ningxin was also very panicked.
What Princess Mingshou said at this moment is the truth. When she was forced to do her best. She dared not tell lies because she no longer knew how much the emperor had known about these things. If she told a lie and the emperor heard it, she would be unable to count the other truths.
Xie Ning felt like she was divided into two people, one sitting there blankly, putting all Princess Mingshou's words into her ears, without missing a word. The other seemed to be standing aside, watching the humble room coldly, but was thinking in her heart, what should I do in the future? She heard so many secrets... Will the emperor really not be afraid of her in the future?
"At that time, there were also pregnant women in the palace. I don't remember how many, it should be two or three. That was specially indulged by the mother. In the past, the mother did not allow them to be pregnant after serving the bed, but at that time, they had to make their stomachs bulge. In addition to them, there were also people outside the palace who were sent to find women who were to give birth to prepare, just to make sure that if these people in the palace couldn't give birth, they would hold one from outside the palace."
Xie Ning's hands trembled slightly.
She understood why Princess Mingshou looked at her with that look just now. The secret was too big and too heavy, and Xie Ning was afraid that she could not afford it.
"It was in this Jinfeng Garden that my father was coming to escape the summer heat. My mother didn't want to come at the beginning. Everything was arranged in the palace, so she made an excuse that she was too heavy to come. But my father was angry at that time, and my mother had to come and brought the pregnant palace servants. I remember that it rained heavily that night, one of the pregnant palace servants suddenly fell and gave birth to a baby boy. My mother took the trick and hid the matter and brought the child over. Bai Shanggong went to do it himself, and no one else knew about it."
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "So, you don't know who the palace maid was? How did she die? Where was she buried?"
Princess Mingshou took a deep breath. The secret had been buried in her heart for too long. She felt a little frightened when she thought about it. It was rare that so many years have passed, but she didn't know why she remembered the events of that night clearly.
She hid behind the tent and listened to the baby crying again and again, and was both irritable and panicked. The mother wanted a son, but she was not a son, and this child might become the emperor in the future.
This matter cannot be said to anyone.
Bai Shanggong spoke to the Empress Dowager, his voice was low, and thunder sounded outside, so she heard a few words.
"... I was very uncomfortable, and the blood collapse could no longer be stopped. Before I could use the medicine I brought, I saved something. I thought, since everyone was dead, I simply said that it was a thunderstorm that had poured the house, so I should cook it before dawn."
Mingshou said these words.
The emperor must have thought that this person was killed by the queen mother, but it was not. Mingshou knew it was not. Bai Shanggong would not tell lies to the queen mother mother, and what she overheard must be true.
It is precisely because his biological mother was not killed by his mother, that Mingshou dared to say that. If the mother really had someone kill her mother and take her son, then Mingshou wouldn't dare to say this now. Isn't it that he thought he was not dying fast enough?
"So I don't know what her surname is, but maybe someone else in Jinfengyuan remembers that before and after the emperor was born, a palace man was smashed to death by a house..."
Xie Ning didn't know why, but inexplicably felt sad and wanted to cry.
That was the emperor's biological mother, but she died silently on a rainy night many years ago, and perhaps there was no place to bury her. Xie Ning knew that there was such a place in the palace. In order to save trouble, the eunuchs in the palace would not have to work hard to bury and bury them directly.
Her hands kept shaking.
The emperor's hands were trembling, but they were much better than hers.
Even Princess Mingshou herself was not much better. She was trembling and her words were stuttering.
"I didn't say a word of lies, the emperor said, "Prince Mingshou hasn't spoken so respectfully and carefully for many years. Even if she was with the late emperor, she might not have been so timid.
"As for those people in the palace, King Ye had a list at the beginning, and he had already pulled out a lot of them when he failed. The list was transferred to me and was incomplete. In fact, it was not in an important position."
“Where is the list?”
"In the garden, there is a secret wall under the bed in my bedroom."
The emperor nodded, no surprise at all.
Princess Mingshou's heart trembled again. Since the emperor had locked her up, her bedroom might have been copied. If she didn't say anything about the list, she would probably have already entered the emperor's hands.
Thinking about it again, she just said that there were dead palace servants before and after the emperor was born. Didn’t the emperor think about checking the days when she was born? What she said is not a secret.
Princess Mingshou was completely lost. After saying everything, she felt like she had her spine removed and she was about to be limp.
The emperor stood up and said, "I heard from Commander Chang that you are unwilling to eat?"
Princess Mingshou looked up quickly.
"If you want to die quickly, I won't stop you."
Xie Ning also got up and followed the emperor to the door. Maybe it was because he had been sitting long, his feet were a little numb, and he was a little uncontrollable when walking.
The emperor reached out to hold her, but the two looked like the emperor and the concubines, but like the ordinary couples that Princess Mingshou had seen.
After walking out of the room, the night wind blew on his face, Xie Ning was excited.
When I first entered, I smelled a smell of wood inside, and I couldn't smell it after I stayed for a long time. But it was only when I came out that I had a comparison. Now I smelled the breath in the wind so fresh, with a faint fragrance.
The emperor held one hand and the other hand held her waist.
"Don't be afraid." The emperor whispered: "Don't be afraid."
Xie Ning nodded.
The emperor found that her hands were cold, so he untied her cloak and wrapped it in for her, hugged her and walked forward into the sedan chair.
Outside, there were heavy shadows of trees and strong winds, and the light of the lanterns seemed so insignificant in this long night.
Xie Ning was almost curled up in the emperor's arms.
It seems that she can feel safe and warmth in this way.
The emperor also regretted that Xie Ning had experienced too much today. There was a turmoil at noon and another palace secret at night, all of which were in this day.
It was really a bit difficult for her.
The emperor actually had a conflict in his heart. Since he loved her natural temperament, he hoped that she would become more harmonious and mature.
Seeing her uncomfortable now, the emperor felt that she was too anxious.
After all, she was not a person who grew up in such places. She would not be like women from aristocratic families, and she has been accustomed to these things since she was a child.
The emperor used to hate them like that.
But now if you think about it carefully, people like them can be like fish in the palace.
The trees shaking branches outside, and his mood became messy by the wind.
After all, Xie Ning is not twenty years old. The emperor was thirty years old in the house just now. Princess Mingshou is 40 years old today. Only Xie Ning is so young and has experienced few storms.
But these weaknesses and regrets were only a moment after all. The emperor finally felt that after a short while, when the sedan chair arrived in front of the Qingbi Hall, the emperor had already looked as usual.
When Xie Ning saw the lights on, her spirit was better than before. She seemed to have escaped from another dark world with ghosts and rampant ghosts. The bright Qingbi Hall in front of her was the world she was familiar with.
"I can't stand it, so I'll let the emperor laugh at it."
"How old are you? You can learn these things like this little by little." The emperor held his good hand and comforted him softly: "I'm too anxious."
After filling in water to wash, the two of them sat under the lamp tent and spoke. Xie Ning, with his hair loose and wearing a snow-covered shirt, looked at the emperor and didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" The emperor gently tidied up the hair in her ears: "Do you have something to say?"
Xie Ning leaned his head gently on his shoulder: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. I think that if that empress knew that the emperor had today, she would be happy for you."
"I know, and I understand that many things cannot be saved. I just want to know more about her."
How could he not have investigated what Princess Mingshou said? What Princess Mingshou did not say was that the Empress Dowager prepared several pregnant palace servants for use. The first one who gave birth to an accident was his biological mother. The remaining few were useless and were all secretly dealt with by the Empress Dowager. The harem of the late emperor was in chaos, and there were too many people who died. Just a few days before and after his birthday, more than ten eunuchs and palace servants died. People came from the palace, and they did not have them on the list in the garden. They died, and people who remembered the old things could hardly be found. Turning around and checking the personnel affairs in the palace at that time was even more like looking for a needle in a haystack. Until now, they can’t even find a name.
What would his biological mother look like if he was still alive? He is now the emperor, but he cannot do his best to do his best to be filial to his biological mother. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
