156 Flower and weeding four
I was so scared that I choked into the trachea with a mouthful of tea. I felt uncomfortable for a long time before I asked,
"What? Is this her mother's thing?"
Seeing that my expression was different, Uncle Liu briefly explained how he met Yuan'er back then. It was nothing more than a three or four-year-old orphan I picked up halfway through when I was on a business trip. It was a matter of more than ten years ago, and it was really difficult to find out the truth. I also quickly told Uncle Liu about the whole story of going home to avoid the limelight.
"So... Yuan'er actually did these things behind you with me on his back..." Uncle Liu looked at me with a strange look, and suddenly showed a strange smile. "I didn't expect that the boy would actually spoil you so much."
"Hmph," I pampered me? I sneered, and a trace of dissatisfaction hung on my face. "If I pampered me, I would not crawl into other palaces and be kind to those concubines at this critical moment."
"Your Majesty has his own considerations." Uncle Liu's face was unrest.
Wow! Don’t you have a few concubines? Of course, I agree with the deceased man’s behavior! I rolled my eyes twice and said sadly: “Dad, my daughter has never asked about many things in the harem and I don’t know what happened. My daughter is really afraid that she will go directly to the cold palace wearing a phoenix crown and a robe on the 15th.”
"..." Uncle Liu's brows moved for a moment. After a while, he said: "Su Su never worrys about her life, but only cares about whether she will lose power."
"Why is my daughter worried about her life?" I looked at Uncle Liu in surprise. No matter what Lin Jingyu did, wouldn't he kill me? Isn't everything I've done in the past six months under his nose?
Uncle Liu closed his eyes, looked tired, and whispered: "According to the laws of Dayan, it is not an exaggeration to die ten times."
Puff—It's so dangerous. I just delivered this tea to my mouth and hadn't taken a sip, otherwise I would be frightened and angry again.
Putting down the cup and wiping my mouth with a veil, I thought about it, and I really don’t know how many bad things this bastard Jingyue has done with her body, so I asked carefully: “Dad, you—all know what my daughter does?”
The uncle suddenly widened his eyes, and the viciousness in his eyes scared me so much that I stopped moving. I sat there like a frog staring at by a snake, and I didn't dare to show off.
This man... the turbulent waves and dark waves like a stream of strange and gloomy words poured into my mind, which was very appropriate to describe the anger of the man in front of me and the atmosphere surrounding his body. I think that if I didn't say anything, this moving volcano might be holding back the anger again. Since it was about to erupt sooner or later, instead of letting him hold it in, it would be better to let him vent it clean and feel comfortable so that the old boy would have a knot in his heart and then cause trouble for me and Lin Jingyu in the future. I still understand the principle that the centipede worm will die without being stiff. Although I am his daughter, in the face of family interests, I am just a small piece. Since they have become other people's pieces, I have no interest in becoming an abandoned piece.
Bored with his hands, I looked at the white mist rising in the cup, and said in a thin voice like a mosquito and flies: "I was looking for someone to kill Liu Qiang." Then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him provocatively. That day, only the dragon body occupied by Liu Qiang and I were in the Imperial Garden. Everyone guessed that Liu Qiang was killed by the "Emperor". However, with Uncle Liu's suspicious personality, he absolutely did not believe that Lin Jingyu's three-legged cat kung fu could easily kill his son. He would definitely guess that someone else was the one who took action. Why didn't I take this charge according to his wishes? Since the assassin broke into the Imperial Garden, I should think that the false assassin was the person I recruited!
"You! How can you--" The uncle was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists, and pounded his feet hard at the table, which made the tea set sound so loudly. The cup in front of him also poured out, and the tea water that had not been drunk was poured out, flowing along the edge of the table to the ground. The dripping sound made people feel upset.
I raised my bare hands lightly, hooked my slender fingers, and gently flicked the cup I was flipping-
With a "clang", the cup rolled to the ground and fell to pieces. I pretended to be careless and picked up another cup from the teapot, held the teapot and poured half a cup of tea, gently moved the steaming cup to him, and said softly: "Dad, don't worry, there is still a cup here. Come, drink a little hot tea to quench your breath."
He was shocked by my movements, put his hands on the table with trembling hands, and his clenched fists finally slowly released.
The uncle smiled bitterly and said, "Why... I'm going to throw that cup. It was originally a set of..."
"Even the tea is not good to be filled. I am so overwhelmed that my father is furious. What should I do if I keep him!" I said without caring.
Uncle Liu was suffocated and he immediately understood what I was saying, and his voice fell down. His voice was a little hoarse, with a choking sob, and he said:
"...but he... is your brother after all!"
"Su Su doesn't have a good brother who prefers men and is inferior to the monarch!" I turned cold and glanced at the uncle with a vicissitudes of life, "Dad, don't say you don't know Liu Qiang's character! You know how many good things he has done behind his back!"
The uncle stopped talking now, and the worries hanging on his eyebrows could not be dissipated for a long time.
"If I didn't ask someone to get rid of him that day, do you think the Liu family could escape unscathed this time? Don't think that Your Majesty is still a big child, you are not something you can resist when he acts cruelly! It is obvious that the man is the first to lose his morals, affair with the palace maids, teasing the palace concubines, forming cliques for personal gain, and every one can be punished for death!" I took a sip of tea and sighed slowly, "Isn't this caused by my father? Since I was a child, besides spoiling me, he is the most favored person? Liu Qiang is actually the abandoned son in my eyes, right? Even if I don't kill him, at the most critical moment, Dad will still give up on him and let him come out to take some punishment, so Dad can also gain a good reputation for destroying his relatives for justice, right?"
Uncle Liu finally turned his gaze to me, his expression was complicated.
"Actually, I'm your abandoned child, right?" I smiled helplessly, with a little bitterness and compassion in my smile all for my ridiculous fate. The man in front of me was really cruel. Even my children could plot and play with them in my palms.
"So, you asked the emperor to perform this drama? Since the chef named Meng was rescued from the palace by you, you have reached some kindness?" Uncle Liu no longer pretended to play the role of a kind father and a filial daughter, but he was keenly questioning my intention.
I was stunned for a moment, and a faint sarcasm hanged on the corner of my lips, and it was true that I was poisoned half a year ago."
Uncle Liu said with a slight hue, saying that he knew that this was the case.
"The chef surnamed Meng is the emperor." I raised my eyes and looked at him calmly.
Uncle Liu was still silent, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
"That day, you couldn't save me. Dad..." Water vapor suddenly condensed in your eyes, and the things in front of you were covered with a thin layer of fog. I don't know if it was Liu Susu's body moving or my own emotions, but my nose suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. That day, Liu Susu was indeed dead... but I survived for her.
Uncle Liu took a deep breath, a hoarse purr sound in his throat, his lips opened, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he whispered: "At the time, it was not enough for the father. During that time, the secret stakes in the palace were busy investigating Qiang'er's death, but he neglected your safety. I thought that after Liu Qiang, he would not take action so quickly... After all, you are a palace concubine who has been included in the famous disc, and your grade is there. As long as you don't take the initiative to find trouble, you will not be punished for no reason. In addition, there is Yuan'er and other servants protecting you - but you didn't really have any trouble after all, right? Why did you help that kid later? You clearly knew that the poison was sent by him..."
"If I don't show goodwill to him, who will protect me? Are you going to wait for the next time to be poisoned by the people in the palace? "I interrupted him and became angry, "In the eyes of my father, everything in the family is more important than my daughter?"
"Su Su, don't talk nonsense! You know what Dad is doing to you!" The uncle also had a temper, and his voice slightly raised.
"Dad is so good to treat me! I'm so good that I'm going to kill my daughter on the road! On the Double Ninth Festival, the person named Cai brought with me was inseparable from Dad, right?" I think back many things from the beginning and know what role the Liu family played in it. Not long after Liu Qiang died, he happened to meet the royal ancestor worship of the Double Ninth Festival. If the man named Cai intercepted the man halfway and wanted to avenge his brother, he would never dare to act alone with his ten courage, and it would be impossible to find so many dead soldiers, let alone a soldier who seemed to be disciplined. At that time, I only considered whether it was a ruthless move by other princes, but ignored the eagerness of the son named Liu and wanted to kill the emperor to take revenge. What's hateful is-
"You didn't even let me go! I was sitting in the carriage at that time! You could really make a move, and thousands of arrows were fired at once!" I gritted my teeth and widened my eyes wide, wishing to knock this hypocrite who "loves his daughter" down with one punch. "At that time, did you really think I was your daughter?"
"Su Su..." Uncle Liu was frightened and angry, but he showed a fatherly hypocritical face and called sadly: "Su Su, Daddy has not been used to deal with you! You misunderstood Daddy! The son of the Cai family just had a good relationship with Qiang'er. Although the father knew their background, he was not optimistic about them and never included them in the material that could be made! That time, Daddy and your mother were frightened, no smaller than you..."
"It's not misunderstanding, it's too late to say anything now. I only know that I almost got shot into a hornet's nest at that time." I shrugged and pretended not to care. Anyway, I wouldn't believe anything he said. "You have made people make noises in the palace these days?" Who would know those rumors that are not good for me? Of course, it's the secret of the Liu family who does things for Yuan'er! If it weren't for Uncle Liu's instructions, who would have the courage to tear down my platform at this time? Seeing that I was not under his control, the uncle actually wanted to get rid of my rear seat? Did he want to arrange for another woman to enter the palace? His Liu family has so many branches and so many well-behaved nieces, what am I?...
A big hand covered with calluses suddenly grabbed my little hand, which scared me. After thrusting for a while, the other person tightened his grip. I frowned in dissatisfaction and raised my head, but I didn't want to see a face with a grief and tears in my eyes.
I swallowed and suddenly felt that maybe...my guess was wrong...
"Your mother and I... are the only daughter..." Liu Jun said intermittently, holding my hand without putting it, just like a real father holding his hand. For some reason, the situation in his mind that Liu Susu asked her to hold his father and stagger to learn to walk when she was a child; and her father hugged her and asked her to stand on a chair and taught her to write step by step; flying a kite on the lawn, the big hand held the spool, and the tender little hand pulled the rope to make the kite higher and higher... I felt uncomfortable, and I suddenly felt a little choked.
When I came to my senses, Liu Junwei stopped talking, and what echoed in his ears was full of the affectionate voice of this father. But my face was cold.
He took out a veil, gently wiped away the tears from my face, and smiled, "Su Su still loves to cry like she was when she was a child." I don't admit that I have any compassion for my uncle. Maybe, this body still remembers the past.
I sniffed and slowly pulled my hand back from my warm big hand. After a moment of thinking, it was still important to do the important thing, let the emotional things that were sad about autumn and spring be released and settled later.
"Forget it, let's not blame me." I raised my eyes and looked at him firmly, "Dad, I want to know all the power you arranged in the palace."
Liu Junwei also restrained his emotions and said seriously: "Imperial Chef Zhang Xian, you can trust it."
Sure enough! I felt a little happy, but I was still a little puzzled. "Where is Meng Hui'an, who was thrown out of the palace by me before?"
"He is the emperor's person after all, do you really think you have conquered others? If it weren't for the fact that my father had been wisely arranged for Zhang Xian to enter the imperial chef on the palace when he received your big gift that day, would you think you could live in the harem?" The uncle had a playful expression on his face, which was really bad.
I thought about it and felt cold sweat coming out on my back. If my father had not changed his own person to the palace at that time, Meng Hui'an might have been able to catch her handle when the imperial concubine (Jingyue) asked him to do things and leave evidence. At that time, he would have sued Liu Susu's body, and never know how many times he had died! As for those snakes - was it Zhang Xian deliberately released it? Just to confuse some people's gaze, make people think that he was obeying the orders of Concubine Yu, and then grab his handle to control him so that he would prove Liu Guifei's evil deeds in the harem in the future and give a fatal blow to the Liu family? Fortunately, he is from the Liu family, otherwise, when Concubine De asked him to confront me the day before yesterday, wouldn't I be killed?
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and Uncle Liu is much more thorough in seeing things than me. At that time, I only thought that the man named Meng was a fool, and he could just be fooled, but I didn't expect...
"Where are others?" He found him, Haibian and threw it back to Lin Jingyu! He asked him to poison me! I want to make him feel guilty! He dared to believe other people's rumors and pulled me off from the back!
"Of course I'm locked up somewhere else, but Dad didn't feel wronged at all."
"Let him report his family peace!" I was so angry. I just made a guarantee with the Minister of Personnel the month ago. It seems that I can put people on the table and get a good reputation for myself. Since I am still alive, I don't need to bear the charge of killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Perhaps the hatred flashed through my eyes shocked the uncle. He stretched out his big hand to touch my head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid of Susu. As long as the child in the palace does not move, the others will not do anything to you."
"But even a little eunuch bullied me!" I couldn't help but feel resentful when I thought of Xiaozhuo. Someone actually poached me!
Liu Junwei's face darkened and said, "It's just a eunuch. It can't be a climate."
"But as soon as I punished him, the cook's affairs came out! Only he knew about Meng Xiaoqiu. If he didn't inform others, who else? He had defected to others, and his daughter couldn't swallow this tone!"
"Originally, he was indeed looking for you..." Liu Junwei sighed, "It's just that you ordered Yuan'er to be beaten to death, which made him feel scared and turned against each other. Just imagine, the closest maid who has been following you since childhood can't let you cherish it. Who else would you protect? How can you not feel disheartened when doing things like this without any consequences?"
I felt so upset when I heard the blame in his voice. What does this matter to me? If you want to blame Jingyue, blame that stupid guy! But I was the one who cleaned up the aftermath...
"What should I do now?" I was worried. I really couldn't survive without the protection of the Liu family and the emperor.
Liu Jun said without thinking, "Do you believe in the Emperor?"
I thought about it for a while and shook my head. "I don't know. He has too many women."
Liu Jun did not smile slightly, "Before you, the Emperor, would definitely protect you, and convinced your father to hand over the power of the prime minister in exchange for the throne of the descendants to protect the peace of the Liu family. Why are you retreating again now? This is not like my daughter."
Oh, that was the Haikou that Lin Jingyu boasted against Liu Susu’s identity. What does it have to do with me? However, the beneficiary is me. It’s just that there are some troubles now.
"Because of this." I pointed to the jade hairpin on the table, "He is not good to explain to others."
Uncle Liu's face suddenly became cold again. "Yuan'er must have been used. Such hairpins are sold everywhere in some markets in the north. My father knew this and would soon eliminate future troubles for my son."
"Can it be Concubine De?" I frowned. The girl kept smiling lightly, but I couldn't figure out her mind. The emperor spoiled her very much. If I hadn't gotten into Liu Susu's body, the emperor would probably want to make her the queen. Don't be that she was jealous and wanted to kill me...
"Dove's child is not that strong-willed. She just killed someone with a knife." Uncle Liu comforted me.
"Dadfather means: Someone borrowed Concubine De's hand to remove me?"
"This is just one of them," he smiled and shook his head. "The one Xiaozhuo defected to really wanted to use Concubine De's hand to get rid of you, but Concubine De wants to borrow your hand to get rid of the other party! You are the sharpest knife!"
