Chapter 860: Who is the Messenger?
Looking at her shocked and amazed eyes, Zheng Xu told an incident from a long time ago.
Back then, because of Mrs. Zheng's special identity, she went to guard the border.
Mrs. Zheng has a very young concubine, because she is a concubine who is not welcomed in the Zheng family.
It is naturally easy for two people who are not treated well to get along.
When Mrs. Zheng left Beijing, she quietly took this Zheng family girl with her.
When she arrived at the border, Miss Zheng was also very competitive, although she didn't know martial arts, she could go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, and she was very good at eating in the west of the people's strong customs.
But at that time, the Xiongnu often attacked, and sometimes they did not just attack at one pass.
Once, the Xiongnu took advantage of Mrs. Zheng's patrol and quietly attacked, slaughtering a group of people and capturing many women of Daqi.
Among them is this Zheng girl.
By mistake, she was taken by the old Hun king, and she was romantic, the old Huns never lacked women, and she also treated Miss Zheng as a female slave, so she didn't pay attention to it at all.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Zheng to go deep into the enemy camp and rescue her, but she was soon found to be pregnant.
The days of being a slave in the Xiongnu were very hard, and her body was already very weak and unsuitable for abortion.
Mrs. Zheng blamed herself and decided to admit all this mistakes.
But Miss Zheng knew the difficult situation of the old lady, and the best thing to do was that she died, and she was gone.
Old Madam Zheng doesn't have such a thing as a famous festival, but Daqi people care!
In order to protect Mrs. Zheng, Miss Zheng secretly left, claiming that she died in the war of the Xiongnu.
Within a few years, Concubine Zhou Guifei died, Empress Zheng won the heart of Emperor Shunde, and the Zheng family was finally affirmed.
As the queen's biological mother, Mrs. Zheng was naturally forgiven.
The emperor ordered her to be summoned back to Beijing, but the news of Miss Zheng was finally discovered.
Mrs. Zheng felt guilty, disrespectful of the will, and insisted on looking for Miss Zheng.
But she didn't want to see only her corpse, and according to inquiries in this village, she found out that Miss Zheng was married to a widower.
A son was born in less than a month, and a daughter was born to the widower two or three years later.
As the boy grew older, the people who were familiar with the Huns noticed the boy's strangeness.
In order to protect her husband and children, Miss Zheng asked someone to send a letter to Mrs. Zheng asking for help.
But her husband found out that the boy turned out to be the seed of the king of the Huns, and he had an idea in his heart, and left the village with the child overnight and went to the Huns.
But he didn't want to be shot to death by random arrows before he got out of the customs, thinking he was a spy.
The boy watched his adoptive father be ungrateful and die unexpectedly.
finally escaped back, but found that my sister had been guarding her mother's body for a day and a night.
His presence caused nervousness among the villagers, and in order to save his life, he began to wander with his young sister.
Seek a life between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu.
When she was in Daqi, her sister took her masked brother to beg for a living.
When he was in the Xiongnu, his elder brother took his masked sister to beg for a living.
It wasn't until the boy was thirteen years old that he became more and more like a native of the Central Plains, and he returned to Daqi.
But as the war continued, the boy's situation became more and more precarious.
Finally, at the age of fourteen, she met the old lady who led the army, and she recognized the boy at a glance.
looks too much like Miss Zheng back then.
Suddenly told his identity, the boy looked confused, but for the sake of his sister, he chose to follow Mrs. Zheng.
But the news spread far and wide and spread to the capital.
In order to save his life, Mrs. Zheng had to order him to become a eunuch and send him to live in the palace, never leaving the palace.
"He's not a few years younger than me, but his fate is a lot more bumpy for me." Zheng Xu looked at the motionless sack, and his tone was a little heavy.
Wen Qingzhu didn't reply, and his mind was still thinking about the fact that Gonggong Zheng turned out to be the son of the old Xiongnu king.
In this way, the Zheng family is very good to him, but it is not good either.
If Mrs. Zheng hadn't taken Zheng's father-in-law's mother to the Xiongnu, maybe she wouldn't have been captured by the Xiongnu.
was not arrested, and it would not cause Mrs. Zheng to resist the decree and disrespect in the future, so she continued to be left at the border.
The Zheng family did regard Gonggong Zheng as their own family, but in order to reassure the emperor, they had to make him a eunuch and be trapped in the palace forever.
The rights and wrongs in this, Wen Qingzhu is a little unclear.
"Miss Wen?" Zheng Xu raised her voice, and finally pulled her thoughts back.
Wen Qingzhu smiled apologetically: "It's a little hard to accept for a while, Gonggong Zheng turned out to be-"
Zheng Xu sighed: "It is precisely because my mother feels guilty about my aunt that she takes such care of him, but his identity is really embarrassing, who reported the news back then, and I have not found out yet." ”
"Your aunt went to the border, and few people know about it." Wen Qingzhu thought of his identity and finally dispelled the idea of killing him directly.
Zheng Xu nodded: "Well, our Zheng family has been checking back then, but we can't find it, and even we have suspected the Lu family, but we still don't have a clue." ”
"Suspicious of the Lu family?" Wen Qingzhu's voice froze.
Seeing that she was a little serious, Zheng Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "We just suspect it, and there is no evidence, after all, this matter is my mother's heart disease." ”
Wen Qingzhu shook his head slowly: "No! Maybe you're right. ”
"Huh?" Zheng Xu was puzzled.
Suddenly learning about the Zheng family's past, Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt that she could change her plans.
The identity of Gonggong Zheng may be a good introduction.
Wen Qingzhu turned to ask about Gonggong Zheng's sister: "Gonggong Zheng's sister is also the daughter of the Zheng family, how can you ...... her to her."
Speaking of this person, Zheng Xu's face was very ugly, and he only stiffened his neck and said: "She is a member of our Zheng family!" ”
Zheng Xu didn't want to say much about the things on the side, so he said goodbye to Wen Qingzhu and left Baiwei Building with Zheng Gonggong.
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked Lu Tao to investigate the matter of Zheng's father-in-law's sister.
I don't know if I don't check, and Wen Qingzhu was stunned when I checked it.
It turned out that Zheng's father-in-law's sister was originally married to a minor officer in the Zheng family's army, but it was very discordant after marriage.
Later, his sister had an affair with a businessman and almost killed her husband.
If it weren't for Gonggong Zheng's intercession, his sister was afraid that she would be killed directly.
Later, the two reconciled, and Zheng's sister-in-law broke with the Zheng family.
His sister was not worried at all, but married the person she had fornicated with, relying on the relationship of Zheng's father-in-law.
"By the way, his sister couldn't conceive now because she had too many miscarriages, but that Boss Wang didn't take a concubine, so he kept doing this business."
When Green Tao talks about these things, he is also tsk.
But Wen Qingzhu sensed that something was wrong, normal men want children.
That Boss Wang has a lot of assets in his hands, how can he not have children?
"Where is that Boss Wang now?" Wen Qingzhu began to move.
Green Tao frowned: "I went to the northwest, and I haven't come back yet." ”
Wen Qingzhu didn't feel very good in his heart, and asked again: "What about his sister?" ”
"I followed that person to the northwest, I left shortly after ascending the throne, and I also heard that the Zheng family sent someone to look for them, but they couldn't find it."
"Can't find it?" Wen Qingzhu smiled, the bodies of these two people are also very interesting.
It seems that their guide to the northwest this time has a master.
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu returned to the palace and saw Pei Yu waiting for her at the palace gate, her face was not very good.
Wen Qingzhu walked over with a smile: "Why is Pei Xiang standing here?" Don't go inside and wait? ”
"Where can a person like a minister enter the princess's residence?" Pei Yu said sarcastically.
Wen Qingzhu immediately understood, and pretended to be serious and scolded the guards at the door: "How can you stop Pei Xiang!" He is the prime minister of Daqi! How rude it is! Each of them went down and received a large board as a punishment! ”
A big slab? Pei Yu almost couldn't hold back his scolding.
It's just that thinking of today's purpose, he can only hold back and don't say a word of nonsense.
When he entered the house, Wen Qingzhu didn't serve the tea, and asked directly: "What is Pei Xiang doing this time?" ”
"I haven't seen the East Fence for too long, and the minister misses it very much, and I hope the princess can allow the minister to visit the East Fence." Pei Yu said very gently.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him quietly, Pei Yu came over at this time, couldn't it be that Pei Zhixuan came with news?
Thinking that Pei Dongli and Zheng Gonggong have a relationship, it is very likely that Pei Xiang also knows about the Zheng family.
"Why is Pei Xiang so polite, Concubine Pei is the daughter of the Pei family, as a grandfather, you want to go directly if you want to see it, why do you come to report to the palace."
Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile, making Pei Yu a little worried.
Could it be that something happened to Pei Dongli?
But since she agreed, Pei Yu still went immediately.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Wen Qingzhu asked Jasmine, "What news is there from He Xiao and Hei Jiren?" ”
"Not yet." Jasmine shook her head.
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank slightly, this is not good news.
If they don't do it, it's asking her to force them again.
At noon, someone outside the door asked to see me.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, but still saw someone.
"See the princess." The respectful salute of the person who came made Wen Qingzhu look at him a lot more pleasing to the eye.
beckoned him to sit down, Wen Qingzhu asked casually, "Master Ji come here, what's the matter?" ”
Ji Chun glanced left and right and asked, "The minister wants to talk to his wife alone about this matter, can I?" ”
"This is Huaqing Palace, is Lord Ji worried that the palace is not employing the right people?" Wen Qingzhu refused with a smile.
Pei Yu walked on the front foot, and Ji Chun came up on the back foot.
Was this something they discussed, or did Ji Chun have a different heart?
Wen Qingzhu didn't know, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Ji Chun saw that she didn't care much about herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Princess, Weichen already knows what you want He Xiao to do."
"So what?" Wen Qingzhu squinted.
Ji Chun twisted his eyebrows slightly: "He Xiao has a cautious personality, he will not completely obey the princess, but I can!" ”
"Oh? Are you self-recommended? Wen Qingzhu curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes looked at Ji Chun with more and more deep meaning.
Ji Chun didn't hide it, and said very directly: "At the beginning, Weichen chose Pei Xiang because he valued his power, but now Weichen feels that the princess is the most powerful person, and Weichen is abandoning the dark and turning to the light." ”
Wen Qingzhu glanced at him lightly, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his face: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”
She looked up at the door and directly exposed his purpose: "What are you thinking in your heart, this palace is clear!" It's just that I feel that Pei Yu can't give you much help now, and I want to temporarily take refuge in this palace in exchange for more practical benefits! ”
"How could Wechen." Ji Chun lowered his eyes, covering the light under his eyes, and behaved more and more respectfully.
Wen Qingzhu covered his lips and chuckled, turned his head to look him up and down, and finally his eyes gradually covered with a layer of frost: "I don't sell anything to you, you Ji Chun, I can't look down on Wen Qingzhu!" ”
"You-" Ji Chun had never been so humiliated, and he was immediately angry, but he couldn't help it, so he could only say goodbye and leave.
