Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 94 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao ([-])

"Brother, it's impossible for my brother..." Concubine Ming murmured.

Yu Chumeng knew that she would not believe it. After all, when Xia Yong went out, he kept forgiving his sister's actions in the hall to testify against him, and said that her sister did the right thing, so she should do it to protect the family.

"Dali Temple will investigate," Yu Chumeng said, "I don't need you to guess if it's impossible."

Concubine Ming said angrily, "The Dali Temple is at your mercy, and you can pour dirty water on anyone you want!"

Yu Chumeng regretted: "You are really raised in a deep boudoir and do not know the world's affairs. The Dali Temple Minister Xu was personally proposed by the emperor after he ascended the throne. My father's unjust case was also broken by this Lord Xu, how can he be this palace? people?"

The previous Dali Siqing was King Jin's uncle, and Xuan Wei dismissed him shortly after taking office.

Concubine Ming continued to babble: "My brother would never do this."

After saying this for the second time, Yu Chumeng was a little annoyed when he heard it: "It's really boring for you to tell me this, why don't you ask your brother if he has any, and then urge him to go to Dali Temple."

No matter how unbelievable Concubine Ming was, she should understand. If she wasn't completely sure, how could the queen be so confident.

After thinking about it, in a trance, I suddenly realized: "No wonder you suddenly let my brother go... You just want to use my brother to kill this person!"

Yu Chumeng said that he was a little thirsty, and turned around to take a sip of tea.No palace servants were waiting on the side, so they could only drink some herbal tea.

But she's not hypocritical, it's good to quench her thirst.

Concubine Ming's voice was sobbing: "You never intended to let your brother go!"

"Wrong," Yu Chumeng corrected her, "I could have let it go, but it was you who wanted to harm people."

Concubine Ming still didn't think it was her fault. From her point of view, it was clear that the empress beat up the innocent brother first, and she said, "What if my brother killed someone... There are thousands of people in Linglou, I can do it. Witnesses again!"

Yu Chumeng laughed: "You can invite people to come again, so can I, but I don't know if Xia Yong can make it through this long round trip. The 72 punishments in Dali Temple are more cruel than the inner court water prison. many."

The 72 punishments in Dali Temple, although those bloody instruments of torture have never seen their true faces, are enough to make people frightened.

Concubine Ming had no time to go deep into why her brother could be used to do such things, but when she thought of her brother's tormented state, she couldn't stand any more tossing, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified her face became.

She stayed for a moment, tears falling in vain.

After a long time, she kowtowed and her attitude was much lower: "Empress... I didn't intend to do wrong with you and Concubine Ruan. Even if you gave my brother a good time, I would not think of revenge... But... Concubine Ruan let me I personally testified against my brother, and you kept beating my brother day after day to make him die... I really can't help but hate..."

Yu Chumeng knew that she had compromised for her brother.

It is true that the abuse is not upright, but in order to force Danyang, this is the easiest way.

Concubine Ming said: "Empress, you promise me that you will never embarrass my brother again, so I will plead guilty and admit to the emperor that I made it all up."

She raised her face again, her eyes full of desperation to die.

From the beginning to the end, she did not intend to intercede for her mother, she only cared about her brother.

Yu Chu dreamed about it, but still told her: "I think you hate the wrong person. In fact, Ben Gong didn't have to kill Xia Yong. The one who wants your brother and your mother to die is your father."

In Chumeng's expectations, this truth is estimated to be a devastating blow to Concubine Ming.

But Concubine Ming gave a clear smile, "I know."

"you know……"

"You can't hate your father," Concubine Ming said in disbelief, "I can't either."

Yu Chumeng looked at her, speechless for a moment.They are all victims of the sins of the previous generation, and Concubine Ming's situation does not seem to be any better than hers.

There was a bitter smile on Concubine Ming's lips.

"I envy you since I was a child, your parents love you, a group of people surrounds you, so many people like you and treat you well. Until now, you are sitting in a position that all women look up to. You have beauty, status, and an emperor. Your love, you can be arrogant, flamboyant, domineering... Even if I want to take revenge, I only dare to start with Concubine Ruan, and dare not go directly to you... You must not know, how much I want to be you."

Among them, Yu Chumeng can hear those four words the most: You are beautiful.

"Thank you, you are also very beautiful." Yu Chumeng said.

Concubine Ming said with disappointment again: "Xia Qiuling envy me, she said, if she were me, she would never choose to enter the palace, she would stay by her brother's side. Just because... her background is too low and she is used to humiliation. , I want to climb up too much. And I, the person she envied, how did I get to this point. "

Xia Qiuling envied Concubine Ming, and Concubine Ming envied Chu Meng.They only see the bright side of each other, and they can't understand each other's bitterness and sadness.

Looking back on Yu Chumeng, she used to envy her mother when she was the most painful. Her father always accompanies her mother and Gu Nianyoujia, even if she went to Huainan, they were in pairs.

It was her parents who made her believe in love, and she envied her mother for having a father, but it was after so many years that Yu Chumeng touched the broken details in the mirror.

Before Concubine Ming left, she asked, "You know that the story of the building is true, right?"

Yu Chumeng replied seriously: "I won't learn about Concubine Ruan from a gift. It doesn't matter whether the story is true or false, the important thing is that she can't be in trouble."

"It's a pity she's already dead," Concubine Ming said with a wry smile: "The emperor believes in you very much, to the point of being a bit self-deceiving. He has never angered you for such a thing. Empress, a lot of your confidence is given by the emperor, you Why don't you love him?"

Yu Chumeng got angry after hearing this, and replied: "Your life was given by your mother, why don't you love her?"

Concubine Ming said, "If she ever cared about me, I wouldn't..."

"Xuan Wei killed me and his children under the instigation of your mother. When he was doing it, he didn't even care that I might die in that miscarriage."

Yu Chumeng said these words very calmly, and then asked: "If it were you, would you still love him?"

Concubine Ming was stunned, her eyes widened in astonishment.

It took her a while to react, and she said at a loss: "I, I don't know if this is the case..." Concubine Ming suddenly remembered that the Empress once said in her ear: If you put him at ease, then you will have a lot of suffering.

What the queen said, was she herself?

Yu Chumeng said: "I treat Xia Yong cruelly in order to torture Danyang and let her experience that kind of pain that cuts to the bone."

How much she hated Danyang, and even more so than Xuan Wei.

Xuan Wei was probably conscious, and only hugged her that day and asked her if she hated Danyang so much.

Yu Chumeng didn't know why she said this to Concubine Ming, as if she was explaining her behavior, but she didn't need to explain.

Concubine Ming said weakly: "I understand you a little bit. But... my brother is really innocent. They say that he is notorious, but he is actually a very good person. He should not suffer such a crime."
