After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 16
She held her head in both hands and was stunned for a long time, then she suddenly thought: The Tang Sect is unique in the world with poison and hidden weapons. As the patriarch of the Tang Sect, if Lin Lang can be poisoned to death by Ming Yuexin of the Liu family, it will be a miracle in the world.She sneered twice, and suddenly understood: If Prince Ping Liu Luo didn't lie, it could only explain one fact, Lin Lang wanted to die by herself.

Thinking of this, Rong Yu's hands and feet are cold, who forced her to have no choice but to thank the world with death?What was it that forced her to die, that she didn't even care about her infant son?
Rong Yu was in a state of confusion, got up and took a few steps, and suddenly saw "Liu Yi's Family" on the case, she had read this book many times, and she couldn't be more clear about Liu Yi's life, King Ping Yi. His generation's family had enough supplies, so they sent him to study literature and martial arts, and he was quite successful.Later, when he traveled to Youzhou, he met Princess Mingyue, who defeated the soldiers of the Jing State. He was promised by the princess and served as the servant of the Ministry of War. He made outstanding achievements and was granted the throne.In the 19th year of Emperor Yao of the Qing Dynasty, he died and was buried in the place where Youzhou was born.

The words in the history books are accurate.Even the reason why he became king only used four short words: outstanding meritorious service.The Daewoo Dynasty did not confer foreign surnames as kings, but the Liu family was unique. What kind of merits should be included in the four characters of "excellent merits" to move the emperor and bestow the throne?Rong Yu's heart moved, and he thought again: King Ping Yi got Lin Lang's treasure and made a lot of achievements in the capital, so why did he die in Youzhou?
There was nothing suspicious about this at first, but ever since Rong Yu read Lin Lang's suicide note and mentioned King Ping Yi's background, she was always thinking about it, and felt that King Ping Yi was very suspicious.

——Has he obtained Chen Guobao, did he avenge Tang Sect?From the history books, it should not be.

——He was born in Jianghu, the Liu family, which sect?When he entered Xilin Temple and saw Princess Xuanji, he believed him. Why should he believe him?Unless he was a well-known figure in the Jianghu before - so famous, why is there no record in the history books?

Rong Yu thought to himself: If he could go to Youzhou for a trip, he might be able to solve the mystery of King Pingyi's life experience and death. He made his fortune here and died here, so it can be said that he has a deep destiny.

This is an extravagant hope, except for the opportunity to visit relatives, I have never heard of any imperial concubine who can leave the palace for half a step. Both of Lin Lang's parents are dead, and she has no relatives, even if she wants to find this excuse, she can't do anything.He couldn't help but sighed, suddenly thought of someone, and thought: I'm afraid I'm not the only one who wants to know about this matter, if I can't go to Youzhou, he might not be able to.Thinking about it this way, an idea came up.

The Lanling Palace is getting more and more empty, the golden beads, jade curtains, and crystals are even more leaky... There is no trace of popularity, only the flowers and trees in the courtyard are full of vigor and prosperity.Rong Yu suddenly remembered a poem that the Empress often recited when she was alive, saying that "the garden tree will not be exhausted, but the old flowers bloom when spring comes".

At that time, she was very puzzled. She thought that since the queen was born with rich clothes and fine food, she was married as a princess, and then became a queen. There is no more honor and favor that a woman can think of, but even she knows that the queen is not good. Happy, maybe because of Xin Yu's unwillingness to come, maybe because of King Pingliu's hatred—he is her closest relative, but he hates her day after day, and hates her for poisoning the one who killed him many years ago. woman.Rong Yu smiled, brushed her fingers over the Queen's piano, and she said to herself: It must not be you.

If even Liu Wei, a woman in a boudoir, could easily poison Lin Lang, it would be a joke, a ridiculous joke.

"Why do you have the leisure time to come to Lanling Palace today, empress?" Rong Yu turned around, because of the backlight, Prince Ping's figure looked a little dazed, like a reflection in the water, vague and indistinct, but his tone was not kind.Rong Yu lowered his head subconsciously, brushed his fingers over the strings, and with a hook, the piano sounded, the sound quality was quiet, as if someone was sighing far away, the sound came meandering, with echoes of countless years.

King Pingjun said coldly: "Do you want to alert someone to come? That's wishful thinking. The emperor refused to pay attention to my aunt before she was alive, not to mention that Lanling Palace has been neglected for many years."

Rong Yu said: "I have never learned how to play the piano. Believe it or not, Prince Ping, everyone in this palace can't play the piano or the pipa."

Prince Ping's face turned even colder, "What exactly is your empress going to say?"

Rong Yu said: "I want to tell King Ping the fact that your mother couldn't have been poisoned to death."

Rong Yu thought that the young man would turn pale with shock, but he didn't, he stood on the spot and asked coldly: "How do you know?" His voice was extremely cold, completely different from what he had seen a few times before.Rong Yu knew that he was very suspicious, and because he couldn't trust him because he had known about chess before, he immediately turned his heart and said: "Ping Jun Wang, has he heard of Tang Sect?"

Liu Luo shook her head and said, "No."

Rong Yu heard the words and sighed: "Sure enough, your father doesn't want you to pursue your mother's affairs, otherwise you should have at least heard of the word Tangmen. 40 years ago, Tangmen was famous for poisons and hidden weapons, and everyone knew it. Your grandfather was born in Jianghu, and your father is also inextricably linked with Jianghu, so you don't know anything about Tang Sect."

Liu Luo argued, "What does it matter if you know or not know what happened 40 years ago?"

Rong Yu sneered: "What if your mother is from the Tang Sect?"

Her words were not more impactful than before, but when the young man heard these words, it was as if something exploded, and countless voices said to him: "What if your mother is from the Tang Sect? If your mother Is it from the Tang Sect? If...if..."

It's not that he doesn't know Tangmen.

There is a record in the library of the Liu family: Tangmen is located in Shuchuan, and is good at using poison and making hidden weapons.In the tenth year of Emperor Luo of the Qing Dynasty, because of his private possession of Chen Guobao, he was destroyed, and the unique art of Tangmen was lost since then.

At that time, he read this book and said to his father: "It will be a matter of time before the world tolerates evil methods such as poisons and hidden weapons. Chen Guobao only accelerated this process."

His father's face seemed solemn, and he said: "There are thousands of arts in the world, no matter which one can reach the peak, we should not underestimate it. The destruction of the Tang Sect is certainly related to their usual actions, but the treasure is not groundless. It is not unreasonable to say that a man is not guilty, but pregnant is guilty."

Thinking about it now, those words seemed to be defending Tang Sect.

Rong Yu saw Liu Luo's expression changing wildly, thinking that he was still doubting his own words, and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I just wanted to remind you that if you really want to investigate your mother's death thoroughly, how about Start with your grandfather." She took a step forward, as if she was going to walk past him, but when she was wrong, she said softly, "Don't you know that King Pingyi died in Youzhou?"

She guessed that although Liu Luo knew about this matter, he must not have thought about it carefully. As soon as he said this, he saw the doubtful expression on the young man's face, and he pondered for a moment and said: "I want to investigate my mother's death. I am getting more and more confused about the intention. What exactly does the empress want?"

Seeing the look on his face, Rong Yu couldn't help smiling bitterly, thinking: What do I want, I just want to live longer, or, to be a sensible ghost.

Thinking of this, she felt disheartened. Whether she understood or not, it probably wasn't a big deal to a ghost. She didn't know why she was so obsessed with finding out about Lin Lang. Maybe it was because she was unwilling, or maybe it was because of that. The constant appearance of the man in black made her unable to get rid of it. She was forced to share that memory with him, so she had to be like him, obsessed with investigating the cause of Lin Lang's death.

She walked a few steps slowly, stroking the curtains on the four walls, those familiar touches and smells reminded her that she had stayed here for two years.

When she was 16 years old, she was assigned as a maidservant in Lanling Palace, responsible for cleaning the precious porcelain.In fact, they have always been clean, smooth, and bright. She wiped them lightly one by one. Sometimes she wondered who cares. No one noticed at all. White as jade, as thin as paper and sound like a chime, no one cares about how bright and clean as human eyes are, just like no one cares about the existence of a person like her, like a shadow, walking past without leaving any traces.

At that time, she would think that maybe she would be like this all her life, a lonely beauty.If the emperor shows mercy, many people can go home and reunite with their relatives, but she has no relatives, her relatives are all dead, she is the only one left, and she has nowhere to go.If she died with her mother and brother at that time, and everyone went to Huangquan together, she might have been happy, but she survived, and her will to survive was so strong that even she couldn't believe it.

What she couldn't believe the most was that she survived and was sold to a good family, taught her to read and teach her to be a woman, and then sent to the palace. It is said that she was named after the daughter of that family. ——Who would be willing to send their own children to such a place where the sun is never seen.

But later, that family also died—as if she committed the crime of Lone Star, and everyone who was related to her died cleanly.

She has been struggling, not for glory and wealth, nor for any status, just to survive.

So when the young man in front of her seriously asked her "what does the empress want?", she suddenly felt great bitterness and grief. It turned out that living is such a difficult thing for some people.

When Rong Yu came back from Lanling Palace, Zhiqi was still instructing his servants to clean the boat.

The flower boats at Cuihuju were originally prepared, but since the master had notified in advance, it was natural that they would have to clean, incense, and decorate them. It took a long time, and it was ready when Xin Yu came. Xin Yu wondered : "Why are you so excited to go to the lake today?"

Rong Yu smiled and said, "How about asking Your Majesty to guess?"

Xin Yu said: "Could it be some festival?"

Rong Yu shook his head, Xin Yu said: "I see, the lotus must have bloomed."

Rong Yu sneered and said: "It's been a long time since Your Majesty has noticed the scenery of Cuihu Residence. The lotus blooms for more than a day or two."

Xin Yu said with a smile: "So it was Rong'er who complained that I neglected you?" Rong Yu's face was glowing - it was clear that he only spent the night in Cuihu last night, so there was no such thing as neglect.Rong Yu lowered his head slightly, bit his lips and said, "Rong'er dare not, if His Majesty fails to guess correctly, then let Rong'er take the emperor to swim in the lake."

Xin Yu couldn't stop laughing, and said: "Okay, I don't have any special presents for Rong'er's birthday, so I'll just fulfill Rong'er's wish and accompany you on a trip to Hanyan Lake."

Rong Yu was full of joy, but he didn't agree with it, and said: "It turns out that His Majesty has guessed it long ago, and made Rong'er sad for a long time. His Majesty himself said, do you accept the punishment?"

It's rare for the two of them to spend their time like this, and they both find it fresh and interesting, Xin Yu simply said: "Okay, I accept the punishment, what can Rong'er do to punish me?"

Rong Yu said with a smile: "Then please invite Your Majesty to board the ship with Rong'er."

Xin Yufang followed her into the boat, the boat moved, and quietly entered the lake, the oars made green marks, and there was a singing voice coming from afar, if you listen carefully, there is only the melody, no lyrics , but it feels ethereal, as if you can't hear it if you just distract your mind, but when you distract your mind, the tune is still nearby and can't go away.There were only the two of them in the cabin, the moon was as bright as water, and the water was as bright as jade.

Rong Yuyi didn't want to say a word in Xin Yu's arms, she just felt that if time could stop at this moment, she could stop thinking about Guanju Palace, the Queen and Queen Mother, and the Tang Sect that was destroyed many years ago Therefore, it is also a beautiful thing to be Xin Yu's concubine with peace of mind.

But I heard Xin Yu ask: "...In the past, who was there to accompany you on your birthday?"

When Rong Yu heard this question suddenly, her hands and feet froze, and the brilliance of the bright moon seemed to hurt her eyes.
