The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 123 Re-malaria (1)
Stepping out of the carriage, I saw a small wooden house beside the forest. A middle-aged man was chopping wood with an ax in front of the door.She went straight over and called out, "Father."

The ax fell in response, and the two split pieces of wood fell to the side, and the ax also fell to the ground.

The sun shone on Gong Hongwen's face, his skin darkened a lot, and the edges and corners of his face seemed to be sharpened by the wind.

Hua Xiyan bent down to help her father pick up the axe, but just as she stretched out her hand, she felt the figure in front of her staggering, she was startled, and supported her with both hands: "Father."

"Jinxi, is dad dreaming?" Gong Hongwen's eyes fell on her face, and his voice trembled.

"It's me, Dad." Really worried about her father, Hua Xiyan helped him walk back to the cabin.

After entering the wooden house, the father and daughter faced each other. There was no sound for a long time, they just looked at each other, anxiously looking for some signs of change on each other's faces.

"Father, my daughter is not filial." As she said this, she knelt down and kowtowed in front of her father.

"Get up." Gong Hongwen hastily pulled her up with both hands, not allowing her to kneel down again, "Father is fine, but you have lost weight. Don't look at me chopping firewood here, but before, your mother was always tired when she was tired. I don’t get fat from eating, but now I’m fine, look at the sky and water every day, eat white rice and gain weight, and my body is much better.”

But looking at the few wrinkles on his face, she really felt that after seven years, her father was getting old.

"Father, you seem to be—" Although she already had a premonition in her heart, her father would not be too surprised by her appearance. Her brother may have made a deal with her father, or it may not be her brother.

"Father made sure you were alive when the saint came to question me. Although it was a long time ago, I always thought you were still alive." Gong Hongwen held her arm tightly, frowning slightly, "You lost weight? , lost a lot of weight."

She lost some weight, but it was all because she gained some muscle and lost some fat by doing farm work with her son in the countryside, so she said to her father, "Just like my father, my body is much better."

"Yeah, but Dad doesn't seem to have a good face when he sees you."

It's about her look.

"Father." I don't want my father to worry too much about myself, "Tell my daughter, has anyone made things difficult for you in the past few years?"

"Your Majesty will not embarrass me. Your Majesty is here to protect me. If I stay in the court and don't question the crime, then I will give some excuses to other people, and then your brother will be implicated. For the sake of our palace family, just start Get me here. Others, there is no way to embarrass me and the Gong family. Father knows, you must have asked the Holy Majesty before you left. "

She had begged, she had begged to keep their palace family.He did it.

"The Holy Majesty has always missed you, missed you very much. Dad is also for this reason, and he almost couldn't bear to say it a few times. But, thinking of you being patient all by yourself, Dad thought, no matter how hard it is for Dad, it can't match the hardship of daughter. I have the heart to ruin your business."

"How did dad guess it?"

"Father actually knows that what you got is a heavenly curse. I also know that there are people in this world who can break the heavenly curse. I think that my girl, who has an amazing talent since she was a child, can tell my family members to bring umbrellas when it rains. You have always had your own opinion about things, even if you were to marry the Holy One, you didn't hesitate at all. Father knows, you probably have already seen everything."

Hua Xiyan clenched her father's hand tightly, her heart trembling slightly.Some words can be understood without further words. This is her father, her most trusted father.So, back then, she chose her father to stay by her side and send her off for the last time.

After all, it was her unfilial piety that caused her father to bear so much for her to stay in this world.

Seeing that she was about to kneel down again, Gong Hongwen pulled her up vigorously: "Don't kneel! It's me who wants to kneel. Father is ashamed, seeing his daughter suffer so much pain alone, but he can't help at all. All you do is silence is golden. However, it was leaked with your mother secretly, and you may come back. After all, I am also worried that your mother will not be able to bear it."

"My mother?"

"The Holy Majesty will send your mother here to visit me every month, every year and festival. Of course, she will come and sneak away secretly." Gong Hongwen said, pointing to the clothes on his body, and asked her not to worry about it with a smile, " If I don’t have to work, I’m afraid I’ll ruin my good clothes. I have plenty of good clothes to wear. There’s never a shortage of clothes or food here. The work is what I have to do. My Majesty didn’t make it difficult for me. Don’t do anything , I sweat a little, I can’t sleep, I think about my daughter who is still suffering.”

"Father, my daughter is fine."

However, Gong Hongwen only thought of the scene of her spitting blood on Li Zimo's dragon robe seven years ago from her words, and every time he recalled it, he couldn't bear to witness it.Closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, when Gong Hongwen opened his eyes again, his eyes became more distinct, and they were bottomless. At this time, even if he was wearing a farmer's linen cloth shoes, he had the temperament of an official from the palace family. Jin Xian: "Do you know who harmed you?"

"The empress dowager died suddenly." Hua Xiyan said in one sentence coldly.

Regarding this, Gong Hongwen pondered and said: "The ancestors of the Gong family taught, don't be happy with things and don't be sad with yourself."

"Yes. Brother has trained Jinxi before. Jinxi also thought that every step in the palace is startling, and there is no chance for people to take it lightly."

Knowing that his son had talked about his sister first, Gong Hongwen said something for his son: "Jinxi, you know your brother's temper, he is more worried about you than anyone else."

"Jinxi knows that my brother's job as an official is far more difficult than Jinxi's. My brother doesn't want to lose his temper, but is just worried about Jinxi, and Jinxi knows it." Hua Xiyan thought of her brother's sullen look before To be honest, it is a miracle to make the Gong family angry, especially her very forbearing brother.

Even so, Gong Hongwen recalled the past, and he still regretted letting her enter the palace: "Your mother didn't say anything when you wanted to enter the palace, but I know she doesn't like it. How can it be good to be a concubine in the palace?" Well. Only the first emperor, a total of seven queens were abolished. If the empress dowager Hu hadn’t been loved by the late emperor, she would have been abolished long ago. However, knowing that the late emperor had some dissatisfaction with the Gong family, he was forced to let you go This is a risky move. The Crown Prince's insistence on marrying you must have exceeded the expectations of the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager. If I sent you to the temple at that time, I would rather offend the Crown Prince—"

Hua Xiyan heard the words and interrupted him hastily: "Father, don't talk anymore. As a member of the palace family, who grew up eating the rice of the palace family and not doing things for the palace family, how can he be a child of the palace family. What's more, the palace family As officials from generation to generation, if they really want to leave their old age and return to their hometowns, will the Gong family be reluctant to be rich? Not necessarily. My daughter knows that the Gong family has given trust and hope to the current emperor. The daughter is just the same, so she is willing to enter The palace is for the Holy One to give birth to children."
