The night is four, and the house behind the mansion of Xiangguo Temple is quiet. In the courtyard wing of the west head, Lin Jue sat silently under the lamp. Beside him, Green Dance sat with her cheeks propped up, staring at the jumping candle flame with empty eyes and not moving. She'd been in this position for a long time, and she'd been like that since she returned to the house. Without saying a word, the silence was calm and frightening.

Lin Jue wanted to comfort her a few words, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Today's events are indeed a huge change for Green Dance. If when she first learned that she was the daughter of Lu Shilang, Green Dance was a little unbearable, then today when she knew all the secrets of her life experience, she almost collapsed.

How could she have thought that her identity was actually the daughter of Concubine Rong, the daughter of the current emperor, and a real princess. It was enough to shock her. Not to mention, she also knew that Lu Feiming was actually killed by someone sent by her biological mother. This is even more difficult for her to accept and understand. The enemy who killed his father is his own mother, what should he do? Her mother is such a ruthless person, although it seems that she has her reasons for doing this, but this is not a normal person's doing.

The warm home in his memory, the beautiful, kind and gentle mother, and the personable and smiling father are not his biological parents. And his biological parents are alive, one is a ruthless father-killing enemy, and the other is a saint who has never even met in person, and he will be scared when he hears his name. It's going to drive people crazy.

If she was to let Green Dance choose for herself, she would probably rather choose her adoptive parents than the emperor and concubine. These two people are cold and unfamiliar to Midori Dance. The intimate impression that the concubine had in her mind before did not change further with the revelation of this secret, but collapsed all at once, collapsed, and became frightening.

"Green Dance. Forgive me. I should have told you in advance. In fact, I was a little skeptical a long time ago. But I didn't tell you because I didn't have proof. I know you're in a mess right now, and I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. You have to be strong, don't be knocked down by this. Lin Jue said softly.

Lu Wu raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jue silently, her eyes were empty and weak, with a hint of despair in fear. This is a look that Lin Jue has never seen before. Midori Dance's eyes are warm and smiling at all times. At this moment, such a look made Lin Jue feel distressed but worried.

"Midori Dance, I know it's hard to accept. However, all this is true. Whether you take it or not, it's all there. I know you're worried and scared, but don't be afraid, it won't change anything. You're still you, you're still my green dance. I'm here, don't be afraid. No one can hurt you. Lin Jue stroked Lu Wu's hair and whispered comfort in her ear.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just cry and vent. You're worrying me about that. Green dance, cry if you want to. Lin Jue continued to say softly.

Lu Wu sighed, looked at Lin Jue seriously, and said, "Childe, I don't cry, it's not my fault for all this, right?" ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Fool, of course it's not your fault. ”

"Didn't my father die because of me?" Midori said softly.

Lin Jue chuckled in his heart, and suddenly realized that Green Dance had gotten into the tip of the horns. She actually thought that Lu Shilang's death was because of her.

"Green Dance, Lu Shilang's death has nothing to do with you, you are just one of the victims, don't think nonsense. It's those people who are wrong. Those who abandon family affection for the sake of profit and play tricks. Don't blame yourself for someone else's fault. You don't live for them. Lin Jue said.

Midori sighed and said, "I understand, then, what should I do now?" Am I still your little maid? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Of course, unless you don't want to." You are now a princess, and although this cannot be disclosed, you do have royal blood flowing in you. ”

Lu Wu frowned and said, "Childe, can you not mention this matter?" I'm not a princess, I'm just a little maid by your side. I don't want to be a princess of Rausch. Those people are horrible. ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "You are my Green Dance, my little lady." Whoever comes to rob it can't take it away. ”

Green Dance nodded and said, "Then, don't force me to recognize her as my mother, I don't want to see her again, and I don't want to recognize her." There is only one mother, the one who raised me since I was a child. ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Whether you recognize it or not, how can I force you." But...... That's your mother after all. She does owe you, but she doesn't hurt you all the time. In fact, she is also very hard, many things are difficult to explain, and many things cannot be divided into right and wrong. ”

"And what about her killing my father? Is this right or wrong? Only a femme fatale would do that. She killed my daddy, what should I do? Midori said with a frown.

Lin Jue also frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Green Dance, you asked me what to do, and I don't know what to do. I only know that there are some things that can't be too boring, otherwise I will never get over that hurdle. If you feel that the revenge of killing your father is not shared, I can even help you avenge the killing of your father. But that's your real mother, kill her, and you can find peace? No, you can't get it. As for your father's death, all I can say is ...... It was your daddy's fate. He met Niangniang, and he loved Niangniang. Their encounter was a mistake, and in the end it turned into a great tragedy. It's fate, and your dad didn't get through it. As for Niangniang's approach, at that time, she had no choice but to save herself. She could only go wrong. ”

Green Dance gasped a few times and said softly, "You mean, my dad is also at fault, right?" ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Although it is really disrespectful to say this, I think Lu Shilang is indeed wrong, he should have understood from the beginning that Concubine Rong Niangniang is definitely not his good companion, nor is it something he can control." He is already married, but he still has to take such a risk for Concubine Rong, and send his own son to exchange for you. This is a huge mistake. ”

Midori shouted, "Don't say it, I don't want to hear that." So what do I do now? How do I handle myself? ”

Lin Jue reached out, hugged her in his arms, and said softly, "You are the same as before, you can do whatever you want." You're still Midori Dance, that sweet and kind little girl. It's not your fault for others. ”

Midori thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. I'm a little tired, I always want to cry, but I can't. ”

Lin Jue lovingly held her in his arms and said softly, "Baby, it's really pitiful." Why don't you go to your hometown in Hangzhou to relax. Go for a stroll on the West Lake, meet acquaintances in Hangzhou's hometown, and slowly you will be able to recover. ”

Lu Wu nodded and said, "It's okay, when Xiaohu comes back, I'll ask him to send me back to Hangzhou." I really don't want to stay in the capital, if you weren't here, I really don't think this place is as good as Hangzhou. ”

Lin Jue sighed, hugged her little body tightly, and only sat quietly under the lamp for a long time.

……

The day is nearing the beginning of the day, and the lights in the Fukang Hall of Yanshou Palace are dim. After dinner, Empress Dowager Wei was finishing washing, leaning on the soft couch in the spring pavilion of the apse and closing her eyes to recuperate. The two palace maids, one left and one right, beat the sore muscles on her body for her to relieve her pain. Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep.

Speaking of the pain on his body, it was when he gave birth to two princes many years ago. Empress Dowager Wei, who was still an ordinary concubine at the time, was not respected in the harem because she gave birth to a prince. On the contrary, it has attracted the jealousy of others. During the confinement, the Queen Mother asked her to express her filial piety to wash her clothes, and the root of the disease fell in the biting ice water. As she grew older, Empress Dowager Wei became more and more aware of the old empress dowager's vicious heart. It was she who let herself fall into this sickness and keep herself awake at night.

Therefore, in the annual ceremony of worshiping the ancestors, the Empress Dowager Wei will never worship in front of the spiritual seat of the old empress dowager. It's because of the events of that year.

Empress Dowager Wei was actually not unlucky. As if there was a providence in the dark, except for the two sons she gave birth to, all the children left by the emperor died or died of illness. After the queen's son also died, the queen's position fell firmly into her hands. Since then, Empress Dowager Wei has been favored. When the emperor was in power, he also attached great importance to her words. The emperor was grateful to her, because if there was no Empress Dowager Wei, he would have lost his heirs.

This also made Empress Dowager Wei finally understand a truth: in the royal family, giving birth to a son is the capital of everything. As long as a son is born, everything is possible. So when she married her niece Wei Yourong to her eldest son as a side concubine, she told her niece her experience. In the case that the crown princess and another side concubine, Lu Mei, both gave birth to sons, Wei Yourong must give birth to a son before he can compete in the future.

However, heaven is not as good as man. When Guo Hao died young, she was still the queen at that time, and she was so heartbroken that she wanted to drip blood. The chips related to the future fate of the Wei family were lost all at once. Everything was in vain. But there is no way, life has to go on. There is no other way than to hope that his niece will have another prince. But as time passed, ten years passed. Niece Wei Yourong is almost forty years old, and her appearance is far less gorgeous than those new concubines who have entered the palace. The attraction to the emperor has also been greatly reduced. The old queen mother also slowly died. Everything is dictated by providence, the Wei family is destined to no longer be rich and noble, and can only hope that when one of his grandchildren ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he can treat the descendants of the Wei family well and not liquidate them, which is already the best result.

Under the lamp, the old lady was already snoring slightly. The female officer had already begun to gesture lightly. The palace maids who were waiting next to them slowly retreated, without making the slightest sound. After a curtain was opened for a while to block the cool breeze in the middle of the night, two candles were extinguished, and requiem incense was lit, and the old queen mother could sleep for at least three hours. And in these three hours, everyone can also rest and rest. At the turn of spring and summer, the young palace ladies were actually very sleepy, and they were all sleep-deprived one by one, and they urgently needed to make up for sleep.

However, just when the two palace maids who beat their legs slowly got up and withdrew, and the female official lowered the thin curtain that blocked the night wind, under the corridor of the front hall, a person came quickly under the guidance of the palace maid carrying the palace lamp. The voice asked crisply, "Is the Queen Mother asleep?" ”
