Chapter 10: Kindness
Chang Sihao saw that Concubine Lu Jing had been cultivating for a long time. However, when he spoke, there was still a sharp edge between his eyebrows. The words are still imperative. It is a habit that has accumulated over the years and is difficult to change. You can imagine the power of those years.
The eldest grandson smiled and said nothing. Look at her quietly. Wait for the following.
The sun is setting. The afterglow enters the window. Taken from Chang Sihao and Miaofeng. painted Concubine Lu Jing's face dazzlingly gold.
Her pupils tightened. Said slowly: "I thought I had killed you back then." But I was happy for a while. But in retrospect. It's not very well done. If it was really found out by the old emperor. That's terrible. I was very worried about the days that passed. Later, it looked fine. Then I don't have to worry anymore. But I didn't expect it. give birth to a second prince. But it's still not me. It's this sister Wang. ”
Hear the words "second prince". There is no liver and mercy to turn into suffering. Skin tightening. It's as if every wrinkle on the face is a ditch reclaimed by tears. Now the tears have withered. The ditch is still there. But the wind and sand of the years are blowing. It's unbearable to watch.
Concubine Lu Jing looked at her. His eyes were full of distress. said: "Wang Guifei is kind-hearted. Always a good sister to me. What happened to Yan Guifei in the first place. I forced her. But after her son, the second prince Zaiyu, was born. She became my enemy, too. There is Yan Guifei's matter first. The old emperor is interested in protecting her and the second prince. It's hard to get started for a while. I just had to wait for the opportunity. Pity. My sister knows that I am vicious. Be on guard. Every day, I don't leave the second prince or so. In her eyes. None of the palace maids and eunuchs can be trusted. Everybody can be bought by me. So the dressing, combing the hair, bathing, eating, and so on. She does all the chores herself. Even when you go to the toilet, you have to follow the watchman yourself. There are new pillows and new quilts. She had to take it apart and look at it carefully. I'm afraid that there is a poisonous needle hidden in it. It has been guarded for twenty years. Didn't give me half a chance. ”
Chang Sihao and Eldest Sun Xiaochi both showed surprise on their faces. Look at the liverless. It is a mother's nature to protect her child. But to be able to do it in 20 years is so outrageous. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the world.
The withered fingers like the skin of the liverless dried jujube trembled. I couldn't stop tugging at my sleeves. The spirit begins to sink away in memories.
Concubine Lu Jing withdrew her gaze gloomily. He lowered his head and sighed: "It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven." Zai Yan was very obedient and obedient at first. Later, I was taken care of by my sister to the point that it was unbearable. Often emotionally uncontrollable. A wave of rage ran into the sky. There was a wave of frustration and speechlessness. There was a burst of crying and howling. Every day is on the verge of collapse. At the beginning of this twentieth year. Finally I couldn't afford to get sick. He died young. ”
Chang Sihao looked at the liverless and lost his mind. I thought to myself, "This look is familiar." When my mother saw me and my little sister crying with hunger. That's what it looks like...... "I think of my mother." I couldn't help but feel sullen and painful in my heart: "These two princes have their mother by their side every day. Naturally, I don't know the pain of not having a mother. He's annoying to his mother. But I miss my mother to death. If my mother can come back alive. I was watched over by her day and night. Surely there is no bitterness. I don't want to kill the war guards. It doesn't matter what the people of the country are. I'd rather be in her arms. is not ashamed to lie for a lifetime. ”
I only heard Concubine Lu Jing say: "My sister is heartbroken. Come to me desperately. But the death of Zaigu. It really has nothing to do with me. She begged for death several times. All were saved. She thought that she had harmed Concubine Yan in the first place. Create iniquity. You can't die. He insisted on shaving his ordination. The old emperor was helpless by her. But he was still not allowed to leave the palace. only secretly allowed her to come to Xiyuan Sanqingguan. After she came. Have someone put up a partition upstairs. Give yourself the name 'liverless'. Imprisoned himself on the wall of the room. Don't read the Bible. Don't learn the Tao. Just recite the phrase 'Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable'. This one sits. Until now. It's eleventh year. ”
Miao Feng said miserably: "The old emperor didn't expect her to stay and not leave." In the end, I had to hide from the outside world that she was sick. The liverless sister faces the wall all day long. Suffer from loneliness. only then did I understand that the second prince was under her care. Twenty years of life has been so painful. Therefore, the remorse is deeper. He had said that if only she had understood how difficult it would be to endure this pain sooner. Even if you give Zaigu a day. Let him be free. It is not in vain to live this time in the world. ”
Liverless and merciful smiles. muttered, "It's been ten years...... You've grown up...... Grow up......" The eight-figure eyebrows twitched slightly as he spoke. Two cloudy pupils sinked between tears. The light is hard to gather. It can be seen that everyone's chests are sour.
Chang Sihao saw that her voice was hoarse. The sticky old tears lingered in his eyes for a long time. There was a faint smile on his face. It was as if he had seen his son in his eyes. For a while, I only felt a mother's love. Breathe back to your heart. The eyes have long been blurred. Xin said: "My son is her heart and liver." She died her son. It's liverless. But there is such a way. Someone else called it. But how quiet she was. Maybe she didn't even want to be quiet. It's in this ashram. I miss my son every day. Mother. If you are alive. It must be the same as this liverless. Love me, oh me. Hold me by your side. It won't let me be left behind. Be such a wild boy. Mother. I wonder if your grave is growing grass. The bricks pressed on top are still there. Florets. I'll bury the rest of your bones and my father-in-law's stomach next to my mother. Have you been with her well? ”
Since joining the army. Every day is the shadow of swords and swords. Fight to the death. At this moment, I recall all the care and kindness of my mother when she was alive. and the naughty scene of herself and Xiaohua under her knees. The poor but peaceful and beautiful time of life suddenly came to mind. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Rushing out.
Concubine Lu Jing pressed her sleeve slightly on her cheek. continued: "Soon after the birth of the second prince, Zaiyu. Concubine Du Kang and I both gave birth to princes one after another. It is Zaiyuan and Zaizhen. Actually, I had a baby at the time. The nature of the mind has also changed a little. I feel that if the prince has accidents one after another. The old emperor always wants to suspect me. Most of the gains outweigh the losses. The child is still young. There's no need to rush anything. It is also necessary to lay a solid foundation. So I contacted the inside and outside. Dedicated to business. Who knows if the wish will not be fulfilled. In the end, my son sealed the king of Jing, and the lake was wide. Great throne. It's still good to teach the old three. I'm lost. Sit in the mirror and take a look. Full of green silk. It's more black and white. Only then did I know that my youth was gone. Looks old. Where is still the concubine Jing who was favored by the emperor. Recalling all kinds of infatuation in the palace back then. Plan the rules. It's nothing more than a dream. A heart can't help but be cold. Until the year before last. My son died in the domain. I, the white-haired man, sent the black-haired man. Only then did I fully understand that people think they can. Actually, God has his eyes open. I knew everything in advance, and the bamboo basket drew water. Over the years. And why kill people? Bitter struggle. ”
The eldest grandson smiled and lowered his gaze. Thoughtfully.
Concubine Lu Jing continued: "At that time, I had the intention of committing suicide. Before I died, I wanted to say goodbye to my old sister. So I came here to see Miaofeng. Talk about the past. She opened the darkroom. I found out that Sister Wang was not dead back then. So I took her as my teacher. Take the road number to wash the heart. Be prepared to leave the past behind. Be a new person. Miaofeng talked about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes again. I just learned that my son King Jing Zaizhen. It wasn't death from illness. You killed it. Speaking of this, his gaze stopped on the face of the eldest grandson Xiaochi.
The eldest grandson smiled and replied with a little dazed: "Not bad." The fourth brother died at my hands. ”
Concubine Lu Jing said: "Your mother and you are both harmed by me." It has nothing to do with my son. You shouldn't have killed him. But. Since I was the first to do evil. I don't deserve to blame you. ”
The eldest grandson smiled and bowed his head silently.
Concubine Lu Jing looked away. The probe sleeve wiped the sticky tears from the corners of his eyes for Wuhe. continued: "We old sisters see each other. Meet in company. Spend the rest of your life. I didn't even give a letter to the old emperor. He sent people around the palace to find me, but I couldn't find it. I can't think of it that I will be in these three clear views. Later, he himself became seriously ill. They can't take care of me. Now I tell you these old things. I don't want you to spare my life. But there are three more requirements before dying. I hope you can agree. The first. I want you to spare me, the liverless master. ”
No liver still misses his son. Listen to her words and ignore them. It's like a fool. Chang Sihao felt a lot of pain in his heart. Hold the small sword in your hand. thought that if the eldest grandson Xiaochi insisted on killing her, he would still kill her. I fought for my life. It is also necessary to maintain the integrity of her old man's house.
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "There is no unresolved grievance in the world. She is an old man with a kind heart. Even if you do the wrong thing. The ten years of imprisonment are also worth it. I'll kill her again. It's unkindness. Mother. Mother's on top. Please be bowed down to the child. As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the liverless. Knock knock kowtow.
Chang Sihao didn't expect that he, the big man who dominated the Jiangnan underworld, could do this. The mind was stirred for a moment. He threw down the small sword in his hand and fell to his knees together. Tearfully said, "The eldest grandson pavilion master said it well. Such a loving mother. There are few in the world. Chang Sihao should also worship each other. "It's also a knock knock. The mouth is called the mother.
Liverless was awakened by the sound of kowtowing. At first sight, the two of them were like this. My heart rejoiced. Indescribable. When the old tears were rampant. Trembling stretched out his hand: "Okay." Good. Good. You guys. You are all my good boys. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ......"
She laughed three times. Breathing stopped. The body shook. Fall forward. The eldest grandson, Xiaochi and Chang Sihao, hurriedly stretched out their hands to support them. shouted in unison: "Mother." Mother. I saw the liverless eyelids slowly drooping. There was still a smile on his face.
The sun is setting. Heaven and earth are dark. Night is coming. Apply cold to each person. There were red lights in the courtyard. Concubine Lu Jing knelt on the ground. Crying, "Master." ”
Chang Sihao hugged his liverless body tightly. Tears rained down. Mouth screamed: "Mother." Mother. "I felt that my mother had died in front of me again. The earth mourns and the heavens are sad. Nothing more than that. And they saw it. They all looked miserable.
Myotomo sighed for a long time. It's also extremely sad. came over to comfort Chang Sihao. I want to take over the liverless. When the hand grabbed her wrist. His eyes lit up: "There is still salvation." Hurriedly slapped a few times on the Lao Gong acupoint in her palm. Punch a few waves of yin energy into her. And he took the silver needle. Sharp stabs on the tips of her fingers. Abi Kaoru took flint and lit the candle. The crowd gathered around to watch. I saw blood dripping down my fingertips without a liver. It's not too late. Throat gurgle. Breathing was restored.
Everyone mixed joys and sorrows. Indescribable. Miao Feng explained: "She is having a stroke of joy." The body is too weak. and even fainting. Now I'm stabbing her ten times and letting her bleed. Go to the fire in their hearts. It's no big deal. It's just that you have to recuperate. Bi Xun. Come and give me a hand. The two of them slowly took the liver in Chang Sihao's arms. Sent to the secret room.
Concubine Lu Jing said with tears: "Good people have good rewards. The old sister's life should not be extinguished. It can be seen that God has eyes. "Bow down to the west a few times. Stand up. Xiang Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Concubine Du Kang just did some small things at my behest. It has little to do with the blood debt of your mother, Concubine Yan. It has been many years early. My second request. I hope you will let her son go. The current emperor. Your third brother is in a hurry. ”
The eldest grandson was stunned when he heard this. Silent for a long time.
Concubine Lu Jing looked at him eagerly. I waited for a while. There is still no response. Apricot eyes widened. Sharply said, "Kid." You are sons and daughters of the royal family. But they are also brothers. There's something I can't say. It doesn't make sense. This is thousands of miles away. Flower World. Good is good. But I don't bring it with me. Death is not taken with you. Even if it's all taught to hold it in your hand. A hundred years later. And how to wait. It has 10,000 halls. There's no place to sleep. What a pride of the sky. What a dragon seed king grandson. It's not all individuals. The deep palace hall was empty. A man lay there. How lonely and lonely it is. How desolate and desolate it is. He has slept out of all hearts. Slept cold. I think of those years when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I often get up and look at the stars and moons. Lie down again. Get back up. Over and over again. I don't know what to do. Always on the lookout. I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of it. No one harmed me. I'll go ahead and hurt people. It seems that there is one less opponent. Just feel at ease and be a little more fulfilling. This is where a man should live. Our generation is killing each other. Enough is enough. Do you want to go on in this life? You killed my son, King Jing. Don't you still understand the hatred? I have to kill the third brother again. That's what willingly I am. ”
"Shut up. ”
A loud shout. The roar made Concubine Lu Jing stunned.
The eldest grandson smiled, and his eyes flickered. There was a pause. Staring at her, he said, "You know. When I saw you, King Jing. What it was like. ”
Concubine Lu Jing was suddenly apprehensive. Hesitantly: "What...... How. ”
The eldest grandson smiled and took a long breath. Said slowly: "On the day...... I infiltrated King Jing's Mansion. Meet the fourth brother. Identify yourself. The fourth brother stepped forward and grabbed me by the shoulders. Tearfully asked, 'Big brother. It's really you. I nodded silently. He hugged me. Crying and tearful exchanges. Said: 'Big brother. Dad gave birth to four of our brothers. Because you died early. That bullshit Fang Shi Tao Zhongwen said that the two dragons don't meet. Daddy believed him. Over the years. He didn't look at any of these children. Not even a word. Elder brother. Look at my beard. I'm twenty-eight. But for the past 28 years, I don't even know what my father looks like. The occasional opportunity to see is also far away. I can't see it clearly at all. But I didn't expect it. You're alive. Elder brother. Is this true? Elder brother. You're not dead. ’”
At this time, he fell asleep peacefully without a liver. No one needs to take care of you. Myoto's mother and daughter also walked out of the secret room. Listening to him relay King Jing's words, tears flowed. The situation is as it is in front of you. Miao Feng couldn't help but have a sour nose.
Emperor Jiajing was indeed like this back then. In the early years, the palace concubine had no one to support. He has always been looking forward to his son. It's easy for the eldest son to be born. was "died young" under the planning of Concubine Lu Jing. Concubine Lu Jing covered up the matter. secretly handed over the message to the favored Fang Shi Tao Zhongwen. came up with a nonsense story of "two dragons don't meet". It means that the emperor is a dragon. The prince is also a dragon. There cannot be two kings in a country. The two dragons do not stand side by side. Seeing each other. Something terrible will happen. It's not the father who died. It is the death of the son. Jiajing was convinced when he was grieving. Since then, he has vowed to see his son again. I'm afraid of seeing it. Again, the prophecy should be answered.
At this moment. Concubine Lu Jing knew very well in her heart. His son King Jing has not been able to see his father for twenty-eight years. It's all a little lie that he made up to cover up his crimes. For many years, no major events have been revealed. It's been a long time coming. These details are almost forgotten. The son is in front of himself. I have never complained about the two dragons not seeing each other. I didn't expect it to be in my heart. His pain was so deep.
The eldest grandson Xiaochi continued: "At that time, I had my subordinates with me. scolded him not to fake his feelings. Pretend to be close. It is impossible to escape today. The fourth brother was puzzled. Ask me, 'Brother.' You're going to kill me. You're here to kill me. I nodded. Tell the root cause of his mother's tragic death. The fourth brother was stunned when he heard this. Said: 'Big brother. Not only will you kill me. And kill my mother. Isn't it. I nodded. His eyes were straight. Take a few steps back. Snatched a phoenix-winged golden hairpin from the bookcase. ”
Concubine Lu Jing hurriedly asked: "The golden hairpin is under the right wing of the big phoenix." Inlaid with a jade carved small phoenix. ”
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Exactly." How. You know it. ”
Concubine Lu Jing's face was happy. Ningmu recalled: "There is a big phoenix on that hairpin. There is a small phoenix. It's a mother and son. It was supposed to be my 40th birthday. He gave mine. I've always liked to be tight. Wear it on your head every day. Before he went to De'an, Hubei Province to take up the domain. Come to the palace to say goodbye. I'm going to have this hairpin again. I laughed and said, 'You kid is too stingy.' Give your mother a hairpin. But I want to go back. He said: 'Mother.' You've been wearing this hairpin for a long time. There's your taste on it. Your soul. The son went to Hubei. I don't know this life and this life. I can't get it back. Take this hairpin with you. It's the same as when you're with your son. I heard him say pitiful. The two also hugged their heads and cried. Alas. Wait until he's gone. I don't know if I really answered this. I'm thinking about it. Always thinking about him. It's like these three souls and seven spirits. Some were attached to the hairpin. And he went. ”
The eldest grandson smiled with a miserable face. said, "Yes." At that time, this hairpin was resting on the bookcase. Most of the time he was reading books. I often picked it up and looked at it. ”
Concubine Lu Jing nodded happily: "Yes." You said he picked up the hairpin. So what? ”
