There are beauties in the East Palace

Chapter 87

Everyone present probably would not have thought that the second brother would suddenly speak out.Lang Hua was even more puzzled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Even if you are guarding the mausoleum, it should be my king!"

The queen was stunned at first. At first, she probably wanted to put her second brother under house arrest on charges of murdering the emperor and being ineffective in supervising the country. Unexpectedly, the second brother himself proposed to stay away from the political center of power.At this time, the queen slowly raised a smug smile: "The prince has such filial piety, I am very pleased, how can it not be fulfilled? But since the prince is going to guard the mausoleum, why not hand over all the military power in his hand, after all Recently, the world has not been peaceful, Xiyu is even more eyeing, I have to guard against it!"

The second elder brother smiled and said, "The queen has heard such a saying that she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

The queen's gentle smile turned cold in an instant, but the old prince I couldn't name stepped forward and smoothed things over and said: "The Holy Majesty has passed away, and the whole country mourns. It is really not a good time to hand over military power. The prince offered to be the Holy Majesty Guarding the imperial mausoleum, some false rumors have been destroyed without attack, in my king's opinion, why not let the crown prince take full responsibility for the national funeral?"

Those untrue rumors are what Xiao Doujiao told me this morning, about the prince poisoning his biological father.

The second brother didn't ask for a thorough investigation of this matter, presumably he knew the truth in his heart, and then he didn't know how to resolve this problem. On the one hand, he would not involve my biological mother, and on the other hand, he would not put himself on the cusp of crusade by the people.Sometimes I have to admire the IQ of the second brother, but how can the queen and others let the second brother go so easily?It is uncertain how many murders and vendettas will be committed on the way to the imperial mausoleum.

After the queen and his party left, Lang Hua walked away with a wink, so only my second brother and I were left in the empty courtyard.

The afternoon sun casts from among the flowers and leaves, the sparse shadows are slanting and the water is clear and shallow. I stand awkwardly by the pool and look up at the man in front of me.He was still as handsome as a banished fairy, his thin lips were slightly pursed, as if he was waiting for me to admit my mistake.After thinking about it again, I still lowered my head and said, "Second brother, I'm sorry, I actually knew about my father's matter... and my biological mother's matter, I didn't mean to hide it from you, and I don't know about... will develop to this point.”

After a while, the second brother only replied in a low voice: "Raise your head."

I didn't understand it, but I did it.

But I didn't expect that the next moment, his fierce kiss came, different from the gentleness last night, today is very cruel, as if he wanted to swallow me up.If it was ten days, I would definitely stare at him, but right now, I can only let him torment me as wronged as my little daughter-in-law.

After a long while, he was finally willing to let go of me, and then kissed my forehead lovingly: "How could I blame you, I love you very much."

What is he saying?
I blinked desperately to hold back the tears.I was worried that he would be angry with me, but in the end, he was fighting for me.How can I not be sad and hurt when I encounter the dual use of friendship and family affection?But I know that I have no right to be sad and hurt, especially at this time.Originally, I had suppressed everything in my heart, but my second brother suddenly became concerned, and my emotions became a little out of control.

I buried my head in my second brother's arms, my heart felt as heavy as lead.

The second elder brother patted me on the back lightly, and he said: "A Yuan, according to the ancestral ritual, the father Wang Mingtian, the wife and the emperor's grandson are supposed to guard the spirit, but right now is an extraordinary time. You should hurry back to the East Palace and release the news. Say that Ari has smallpox, then pack up your things, and if there is any movement in the palace, take Ari to leave Chen Guo through the secret passage in the golden house, and when you exit the tunnel, someone will meet you. Do you know?"

What happened and need to leave? "The secret passage in the golden house?"

The second brother nodded.

I was in a fog for a while, thinking that he gave me the golden house just to hide my beauty.Unexpectedly, there is a secret passage hidden in the golden house.Could it be that he had expected that today's situation would happen?

I bit my lip and shook my head: "I can't leave now, the Queen Mother may be my biological mother, even though she doesn't want to admit me..."

Thinking of the tortuous process of finding her mother, this princess suddenly felt sad.

The second elder brother saw that I was so persistent, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Then you also need to go back to the East Palace first, if I don't hand over my military power for a day, the empress won't let me out of this palace for a day." end.What I don't understand is, with the skill of the second brother and the fact that the imperial guards in the palace are the second brother who obey orders, how could he not be able to leave the palace.Unless, he himself didn't want to leave the palace.

Probably guessing what I was thinking, the second elder brother said calmly: "During my father's lifetime, I did not fulfill my filial piety. Now that he has passed away, I must send him to the imperial mausoleum with my own hands. Before that, I will not leave the palace one step. "

"Just because of that?" Why do I feel that my second brother is hiding a lot of things from me?

Seeing that I was still questioning, the second elder brother took me into his arms: "A Yuan, be obedient, trust me, okay?"

I said anxiously: "But I'm leaving, what about you?"

"I'll be fine. If you're here, I'll be here."

After hesitating for a long time, I stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, holding her arm reluctantly: "Second brother, I will wait for you, I will always wait for you."

I was in the East Palace. Once I waited, I waited for three days.During the period, I went to the Xiaojin House once, and it was indeed like what the second brother said, there were organs and secret passages.

I haven't dared to tell anyone else about it.In the past three days, the entire East Palace was in a state of turmoil, and everyone was on alert, except Master.Master and his old man carried a jug of wine, stealing half a day's leisure.Forget it, the world's major events have nothing to do with him, he is just a magic stick.

The bamboo forest was lush, he sighed, and slowly recalled the past...

And the past events in his mouth are exactly the same as what the queen said about me.It's just that the queen is the daughter of the general's wife, and my mother, the queen mother, is the subjugated princess of the Southern Sui Dynasty.At the beginning, when the mother was pregnant, the queen happened to be pregnant as well, and there was only a few days difference between the two giving birth.Later, the Holy Majesty ordered me to be killed without mercy, but by accident, the empress's own daughter died instead of me, and I was taken away by my father to Licheng.But my biological mother didn't know about it, she always thought I was dead, always thought I was the queen's daughter, and even thought that the queen tried her best to save her daughter, so that in the end everything became a tool for the queen to use her .

I was puzzled and asked, "Master, haven't you explained these things to your mother?"

The master sighed: "Why is there no explanation, but if a person's obsession becomes a demon, she will not believe anything. She has lived in hatred and revenge all her life, and her only purpose of living is to kill How could she have listened to the late Emperor? She only thought that everything was a lie that I told her to prevent her from revenge... Master thought that you made her believe that you were her biological daughter because of the blood test. road……"

I pressed Master's hand that was about to continue pouring wine: "Master, I want to see my mother."

In the past few days, I dreamed that I could see my mother, but my second elder brother would not let me out of the East Palace. The news from the palace only said that the Empress Dowager insisted on paying homage to the Buddha in the Buddhist hall for seven days to save the late emperor, but no one was seen.I knew it was impossible, how could my mother save my second brother's father?Because of this, I am even more worried about my mother's whereabouts. The empress's resentment towards her mother is clearly visible, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not attack her mother.

Just as I was thinking, Master's expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out of the pavilion. I quickly chased after him: "Wait, Master, what's wrong?"

Master supported the bamboo, hesitant to speak.

I secretly felt bad, it must have something to do with my mother, so I walked around to the master: "Does the master know that the mother must no longer be in the palace? Could it be that, went to Licheng?" Where my father is buried, so I'm just guessing.

Unexpectedly, the master nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Shixi ran over out of breath, shouting as he ran, "Crown Princess, there is news from the palace!"

One wave after another, my heart has been in a state of ups and downs recently, I glanced at Master, he was also waiting for Xiao Shiyi to say something, Xiao Shiyi shouted at the top of his voice: " The Queen Mother is missing!"

Simply because this was expected, I wasn't shocked, and with Master around, I wouldn't panic.After Xiao Shiyi left, the master said: "I'm planning to go back to Licheng, you should think carefully about whether you want to go back with me as a teacher."

I nodded without any hesitation. Licheng is the place where I was born and lived when I was young. Taking Xiao Baozi back to pay homage to his grandfather and clan members is also what I have always thought about.As long as my second brother nods his head and agrees to this matter, I can leave with peace of mind.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Little Eleven brought a message from my second brother, and my second brother agreed that I should leave the city. Except for Ah Da, Er Ah, San Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi Xiao Ba, who stayed in the imperial capital, everyone else had to be ordered to escort me and me. Ah Li went to Licheng.

Licheng is under the jurisdiction of Zhou State. Zhou State has always been an ally of Chen State. The second brother probably wanted to arrange for Ari and me to go to Zhou State, so he agreed so readily.Before parting, Xiao Baozi was very excited, blinking his big eyes and shaking my arm: "Mother, are you going to take Ari to see grandpa and grandma?"

Sitting by the bed, I simply packed some small clothes for him, and at the same time replied: "Well, is Ari happy?"

"Happy, but Ari doesn't want to leave Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang." When Grandpa Huang was mentioned, Ari was a little unhappy again. He lay on the bedside, tilted his little head, and his big eyes that were originally excited began to turn slightly red.A little child may not know what life and death mean, but he will still feel sad and sad.Ah Li is like this, let alone the second brother?

I picked Ah Li up in my arms, kissed him, and coaxed me softly, "Grandpa Huang is going to enjoy the blessings. He will be away for a while. Your father will send him off. Besides, we are only going for a while, and we will come back soon." Well, Ahri is good."

"Ahli wants to see Father."

"By the way, I heard that when your father was young, he could get a month's supply of food just by crossing the ten-mile long street?" I deliberately changed the subject.

Little Baozi was thoughtful: "Father said that he is an active market to prevent vegetables and fruits from piling up and depreciating, but Uncle Langhua said that he is a coquettish bag."

I:"……"

Because talking about the years when I was not by Ari's side, Ari kept talking non-stop, and he didn't even show any great surprise when we successfully entered the secret passage in Xiaojin's house.It's just that the secret passage was too long, and in the end he was too tired to walk, so he fell asleep on Ah Si's back.

The exit of the secret road is in a very inconspicuous thatched hut on the most desolate street in Chen country. When we exit the secret road, the people who come to meet us wear foreign costumes. Zhou Guo's customs clearance token was handed over to us, and I was led, Master, Ah Si Xiaoshi and the others into two carriages.

Under the arrangement of the second brother, we left the country of Chen smoothly and drove all the way to Licheng of the country of Zhou.
