The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 222 You Are Concubine Hang 3
In other words, in the battle in the northwest, Liang State came with a large army, and Qi State was temporarily at a disadvantage.

This battle lasted for more than half a month, Qi State was tenacious, Liang State could not attack for a long time, but they had no intention of withdrawing their troops.The two sides are at such a stalemate, and neither of them is willing to admit defeat and withdraw troops.

And during this period of time, Xiao Junyi was busy with the strategy of defending against the enemy, and every time he met Wushuang in the palace, he smiled and gestured, but passed by in a hurry.I heard that the situation in the Northwest is not optimistic. He has been too busy recently, so he hasn't had a good meal.

As for who started the fight in the Northwest, no one can tell.

Now, it is superfluous to care about these things. The war-torn northwest is already a place that Wushuang doesn't want to look back.

For a few days, ministers often came and went in and out of the palace, Wushuang had no chance to find Xiao Junyi, he wanted to talk about him being the son of the late emperor.However, now that the country is in crisis, he has no intention to talk about it at all. Wushuang can't help him politically, and he doesn't want to drag him back.

Even though Xiao Junyi was at a disadvantage in the Northwest War, he was not too panicked, let alone raised the white flag to surrender.The daily Chaofang meeting is open normally, and the Northwest continues to open.

Wushuang heard that Chen Nan was leading the attack in the northwest, and no main attacking force was dispatched.This makes Wushuang very puzzled. If the main attack is not in the northwest, where is it?
Liang Guo was coming fiercely, and Xiao Junyi had no time to look after him. He received countless battle reports every day, and he began to feel a little bit overwhelmed.

Seeing him like this, Wushuang finally couldn't bear to disturb him, but asked Fu'er to deliver supper to Xiao Junyi and the ministers in the court room at night, because of worry and anxiety, he suffered from insomnia all night.

Because of the war, everyone in the palace was in danger, and the strings in their minds were all tensed.

One day when Wushuang led Xuan'er to greet the old lady, he finally couldn't help asking, "Forgive Wushuang, I have something to ask you."

The old lady didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw that Wushuang pushed Xuan'er away, she was startled for a moment, "Ask, what's the matter?"

"Jun Yi...Is his surname Xiao?" Wushuang asked tentatively, his heart beating violently.

The old lady was terrified, took the tea at the table, and took a sip pretending nothing happened, "Xiao, it's the surname bestowed by the former emperor."

"What about Xiao Junyi, what is his relationship with the late emperor...!"

The old lady was uneasy, "What else can it matter, they are just..."

"Father and son!" Wushuang interrupted, "Father and son, right?"

"Who told you that?"

"So, it's true?"

The old lady hurriedly said, "No, it's impossible."

"Then what are you excited about?"

"you……"

"Mother, don't get angry, I just want to know the whole story. I don't want Xiao Junyi to suffer, and I don't want him to misunderstand the late emperor."

"Misunderstanding, how could it be a misunderstanding?!" The old lady's face was displeased, very unhappy.

Wushuang's heart kept sinking, she really hoped it was a misunderstanding.Xiao Junyi is not the son of the first emperor, he and Xiao Xuanyu are not blood brothers, so the throne of Liang Kingdom has nothing to do with him.

but……

Wushuang suddenly remembered that the late emperor wanted to see Xiao Junyi all the time before his death, and recalled the edict, could it be...

"It was Yi'er who told you!" the old lady said, "So he really knew all along."

"What's going on here?" Wushuang was very curious. These days, she has thought about countless possibilities, and she has thought about the old lady's past clearly. However, there are some truths that you will never guess unless the person concerned tells them. .

Just like Wu Shuang, she thought of thousands of reasons for Xiao Junyi's life experience, and also thought of many possibilities for the story of the late emperor and the old lady.However, the truth is not as sentimental or ruthless as she thought.

Everything, really simple.

However, as far as the emperor is concerned, perhaps, it is really hard to say.

There was no love between the first emperor and the old lady, but they had a son, Xiao Junyi.

These, in the memory of the old lady, are so heavy.She has been hiding it for so many years, but she still wants to speak out after all.

Everything is just because the first emperor and Zhang Lin are good friends and brothers.When Zhang Lin was away on an expedition, the late emperor often sent people to take care of his family, and occasionally came to the mansion to sit for a while, and occasionally announced him to the palace to socialize with his concubines.

However, that year, on the old lady's birthday, Zhang Lin hadn't returned from the war, and the whole Zhang manor was very deserted, so the late emperor bought a gift and pretended that Zhang Lin sent it back from outside, hoping to surprise the old lady.

Everything is good intentions.

Because of her birthday, she was also very happy. The old lady hosted a banquet in honor of the late emperor. She didn't want the late emperor to drink too much and treat the old lady as his concubine...

The situation was completely beyond the old lady's expectations. The other party was the emperor and a man. She was also a little dizzy after drinking, and she was powerless to push him away, so later...

However, all of this was bumped into by Zhang Lin who rushed back from outside to celebrate her birthday. The old lady never forgot Zhang Lin's cannibalistic eyes that day.

The first emperor, who was originally drunk and hazy, also woke up at that moment, Zhang Lin drew his sword angrily, but in the end he couldn't bear to hurt any of them.

The old lady especially remembered what he said that day, and he said heartbroken: One of you is my favorite woman, the other is my most trusted brother, and now, you are all the people I hate the most!
That night, he slammed the door and left, leaving only the silent late emperor and the old lady who cried all night.

Soon after, the old lady became pregnant, and they knew who it was.However, no one is responsible for the child.

The old lady completely lost news of Zhang Lin, and she didn't see him again until his body was transported back to Kyoto after October.

She loved the person for half her life, but left without listening to her explanation.

From then on, the Zhang Mansion became the Xiao Mansion, Zhang Junyi became Xiao Junyi, all of this was due to the mighty grace of the emperor, but in the heart of the old lady, the late emperor was just covering up his faults and trying to erase the memory of Zhang Lin. everything.

With Zhang Lin's passing away, no one in this world knows that Xiao Junyi is the prince except the old lady and the first emperor.

However, the old lady didn't know when Xiao Junyi knew about it, maybe it was the time when Xiao Junyi was implicated in the collapse of the hall, not only at fifty, but also kicked out of the capital.

Xiao Junyi was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed and fell into a coma.The late emperor came to see him, and the old lady quarreled with the late emperor because of this, saying that the late emperor had put such a heavy hand on his own son, completely disregarding his life...

Thinking about it now, maybe that's when he knew.He wasn't unconscious at all, he was awake and heard it all.

He knew that he was the son of the first emperor, and at the same time he knew that in the eyes of the first emperor, his life was insignificant.He is the "disgrace" of the late emperor, a fault that the late emperor never mentions.

Perhaps it was those days when the first emperor sent concubine Shu to the cold palace, King Heng was injured, and concubine Lan got angry with him again because of Ah Jiu's affairs. The first emperor was very upset. He came to see Xiao Junyi, and was complained by the old lady again. He was angry, so his words were extreme, and he said a lot of ugly things.

And these, Xiao Junyi heard.

The first emperor said that the old lady had premeditated, and said angrily that the old lady just wanted to fly on the branches and jump over the dragon gate.In short, there were too many ugly words, and he said that he would never admit to Xiao Junyi. He had so many sons, all of whom were excellent and orthodox. It is not at all rare for this son who came out of nowhere to say that Xiao Junyi is his shame. If the old lady mentions it again, this evil obstacle is not as simple as being driven out of the capital for a year!
At the beginning, the old lady didn't know that Xiao Junyi knew the truth, but later she found that Xiao Junyi no longer cherished the things bestowed by the emperor, and even disdained them. She found that the child had changed, and no longer regarded the late emperor as heaven, Considered a supreme hero.

He began to be arrogant, aloof, and disregarded anyone.

At first, the old lady thought it was because of Xiangyun's death, but later on, she gradually realized that maybe it was Xiao Junyi who knew about her life experience.He never came to ask, and the old lady was unwilling to mention it.

She hated the first emperor, so for a while she allowed Xiao Junyi to hate the first emperor. She wanted the first emperor to be hated by her son, so that she could make up for Zhang Lin and the pain in her heart.

She allowed Xiao Junyi to hate, she has been deceiving herself and pretending not to know, but how can she not know everything about Xiao Junyi, who is better than a mother.It's just that she is pretending to be confused.

She is indeed not a qualified mother, she can't fight against the first emperor, she is so cowardly, she only has hatred in her heart.Even when Xiao Junyi was young, he was extremely indifferent to him.Sending him into the palace as the fifth prince's companion, she didn't feel bad at all, she hated him as much as she hated the late emperor, after entering the palace, she couldn't see, just out of sight and out of mind.

When Xiao Junyi first entered the palace and was bullied by other sons and princes and came back crying, she yelled annoyed that he was useless, you don't know how to fight back when someone beats you?So what about the prince, you are the son of a great general, is it embarrassing to cry? !

That's how she educated him, so that he can only fight and become stronger so that he doesn't have to be bullied.She admitted that at first, in her eyes, Xiao Junyi was a pawn used to take revenge on the late emperor, to fight against the late emperor.

But, after all, he was her son.

The years let the hatred wear away, and only family affection gradually replaced it.He is the only person in this world who is connected with her blood, and is her only comfort and support.

At that time, she was indeed dizzy for a while, not knowing the severity, but she never said anything to Xiao Junyi.It's just that Xiao Junyi knows now, but he has grown up too, and it's not something she, a mother, can care about.

She never persuaded Xiao Junyi, because that part of the past was also difficult for her to talk about.As for the first emperor, for Liang Guo, because of Zhang Lin's death, she really has no feelings at all, but still has resentment and hatred.

It's just that she is old, no matter how much love and hatred there is, it will eventually cease to exist.

Wushuang's questioning this time made the old lady look back on all the past, but she didn't shed a single tear, as if everything, whether it was hatred, anger, wrong or right, was not important anymore.

She was so calm that she could see through the world, even if she died immediately, there was nothing she could not let go of.

However, Wushuang couldn't calm down for a long time after listening.She never knew what Xiao Junyi's childhood was like. Since she entered Beijing, she only saw his sternness, his arrogance, and his arrogance. She always thought that these were all favored by the former emperor.

However, if these are favorites, then how did those withdrawn, arrogant, and lonely come from?

In his childhood, he didn't have any love at all. The late emperor didn't recognize him. The old lady hated the late emperor and hated him. She was only a few years old when she was sent to the palace as a servant. On the surface, it was the emperor's kindness, but which mother would be willing to let her child be like this? Entering the palace as a child?
"Why do you want Xiao Junyi to atone for your mistakes? Why should the grievances and grievances of your previous generation be involved in the next generation? Do you know that he can be carefree and good brothers with Xiao Xuanyu? But now, you are the ones who forced them to this point!" After Wushuang finished speaking angrily, even Xuan'er stayed in the Empress Dowager's Palace and ran out alone.
