Chapter Eleven: The Front and the Back
"Wow—"
The dishes on the table were swept to the ground by me in an instant, and the soup of unknown dishes was stained on my sleeves. I don’t know how many pieces of the plates and bowls were broken, but the air condensed at the moment when they landed on the ground.
"What is a taboo?! My father said that food in the plate is the hard work of the people, and it must not be wasted. Waste is evil, so wasting food in the plate is a taboo. Are you trying to tell me that the Luo family, which was once headed by the three major families in the capital, is it a taboo for the Luo family, who was loyal to the court and sympathetic to the people?" I suppressed my voice. Even if it was not my father's daughter, the Luo family was gone, and the only remaining Luo Yuran could only survive in hiding his identity. Now that I heard the comments on the Luo family were just the word "taboo", I felt a little chill in my heart.
"Miss... the Luo family cannot be raised." Aunt Zhang looked up at me, with tears in her eyes, and she shook her head firmly.
It’s like even if I step on my bottom line, I must deny it.
"Then can you tell me? Why can't you mention it? Why did the Luo family disappear overnight? Why hasn't anyone ever mentioned this? Even if the Luo family committed heinous crimes and treason, why didn't the court try it? Don't investigate it?" I glanced at Aunt Qi and Aunt Qu who were sitting aside and bowed their heads and said nothing.
"When you mention this, you have to go back to the previous dynasty..." Aunt Zhang sighed and spoke slowly.
"Zhang Xuan..." Aunt Qu called out Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang's name was Zhang Xuan.
"Since the lady wants to know, then tell her that she must know about this sooner or later. Tell her first, just in case she will act recklessly in the future." Aunt Zhang glanced at Aunt Qu, shook her head slowly, and signaled her not to say anything more.
"Daliang has a history. When Daliang was founded, Liang took the surname of the empress. Of course, it was not because of the emperor's feelings for the empress, but because he used this to declare the world, or to appease the world. Even if the previous dynasty was subverted, it was no different from the past. It was just that he changed himself to become the emperor. The previous dynasty emperor and his wife fell in love very much, so he had only one daughter, the princess of the previous dynasty. When the princess and the hairpin, many envoys came to him.
He asked for a marriage to the princess, but the emperor of the previous dynasty knew that they wanted to marry not only the princess, but also the inheritance of the country, so in terms of marriage, they rose from the relationship between children to the national affairs. Later, they dragged on again and again. Seeing that the princess had passed the Double Ten, there was no marriage, and a new zither came to the palace. He was gentle and matched with the princess. But he could not resist the princess' soft and hard work, so the emperor agreed to this marriage that the whole country celebrated."
"The zither was the Emperor of Daliang, but shortly after the death of the previous emperor, the question of heirs came. This heir should have been the child of the princess and the zither, but the two of them had been married for many years and had no children, so they could only make the zither the emperor and the princess the queen."
"In a flash, Daliang's country and the people were at peace and the people lived and worked in peace, but the Emperor of Daliang also established many concubines. Gradually, the empress found that many concubines in the palace were pregnant. This made the empress have a crisis, not only for the relationship with her and the piano master, but also for the entire country. However, she had no choice but to find the person who had been secretly left to her by the emperor of the previous dynasty to help her. That person was the head of the Luo family, that is, Mr. Luo. In order to get close to the imperial power, Mr. Luo tried his best to get the emperor's appreciation. The emperor made an exception and sealed three major families in the capital."
"The Luo family, Jiang family and You family are headed by the Luo family. The three major families are both symbols of wealth and power and a weight to balance power. Mr. Luo also recruited many strange people because of this, but when the emperor saw that he only recruited some doctors, he turned a blind eye to him and let him do this. But later, one of the people recruited by Mr. Luo finally found the source of the queen's inability to conceive a child..."
"It's not that the queen can't conceive a child. She was just poisoned, which led to many years of infertility. But anyone with a discerning eye knows who the poisoned person is. The only one who doesn't want her to get pregnant or gives birth to an heir is the noble emperor. But the queen still decided to take a risk and use poison to conceive the dragon fetus. However, she used her essence and blood to raise this unformed child. In order to keep the child from being lost without being hurt by external forces, the queen claimed to be sick and refused to visit all guests, including the emperor. As time goes by
After passing by, the queen lost weight. She also realized that it was possible that she might die with the child before she gave birth, but she was reluctant and unwilling to give up. But she still secretly summoned Mr. Luo. In the last period of her life, she finally decided that no matter whether she was a boy or a girl in her womb, she did not want the child to be infected with power as soon as she was born. She chose to give birth to this child secretly and then let her confidant deliver the child to Mr. Luo, that child, you Miss."
"On the day the lady was born, it was raining rain and thunderstorms in the capital. The queen tried her best to give birth to the lady. However, the lady was just born, and the queen was out of anger. In order to cover up the cause of the queen's death, Master Luo searched everywhere and found a woman with a very similar figure to the queen and replaced the queen from the secret passage. The woman had already had a bad face because of an unknown epidemic. When the emperor was furious, he blamed the palace servants in the queen's harem. He was afraid that the epidemic would be transmitted. However, when Master Luo was transported into the palace, he would not be infected. However, the emperor did not even check the examination and ordered people to burn the queen."
"This trick of replacing the pillar took a lot of effort at that time. He asked Mr. Luo to pretend to be pregnant in advance. After the queen's death, Mr. Luo found a trustworthy midwife. That night, Mr. Luo suddenly fell down and the child came to the death early."
"Miss Luo's name is Yuran. Yuran, whose meaning of the king in Jade is the small word of the queen."
"This is the Queen's life and your life experience."
As Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Aunt Qi and Aunt Qu looked at me. I saw the tears and nostalgia in their eyes. For a moment, I seemed to understand that the truth I was chasing was just the disappearance of one life after another in order to cover up my life, the queen died to give birth to me, and the entire Luo Mansion was destroyed to cover up my life, but I still let myself go.
Maybe I thought I was Luo Yuran, Luo Xiansheng and Luo Yuran, who were the same person, but I suddenly realized that Luo Yuran had long been dead, died in the fire in the Luo Mansion. The fire was just to shape another life. The Luo family is not a taboo, but the taboo is just Luo Yuran...
