Chapter 401: The truth back then
Chapter 401 The truth of the year
In the elegant room on the second floor, the voice of the teenager dispelled the silence.
"Is father still going to say nothing?"
Looking at the young man, Wu Jingming's eyes changed, he sighed lightly, and said: "A Yuan...something, you will know sooner or later, you don't have to be so persistent, you have to explore something prematurely..."
"Eighteen years, is it not too late?" Wu Zhao asked calmly.
He knows that aristocratic families, especially grandfathers, always have their own rules and regulations, and no one or anything is allowed to break the original arrangement——
But, can't grandfather trust him so much?
is to believe that his so-called stubborn temperament, if he learns about this "too early", will it disrupt their plans before the current situation is settled?
Or, even if there is only a slight possibility of sabotaging the plan, grandfather is reluctant to mention it with him, just because-an arrangement is an arrangement, there is no need to discuss with him at all, and even if it is not necessary to inform in advance?
seems to be aware of his thoughts, Wu Jingming said in a complex tone: "Your grandfather... he also has his own worries. He is not only your grandfather, but also the head of the family... Father knows that you must be considerate."
He once asked his father when he planned to tell A Yuan the truth.
Father said that although A Yuan has been disciplined by the family since he was a child, he is too independent and stubborn in his bones. It is extremely difficult to change the things he has identified. If he cannot be persuaded, he may cause unnecessary trouble.
I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Wu Family and King Yan. A little exposure will cause trouble to A Yuan himself.
Under the balance, it is more foolproof to explain the truth after all the follow-up matters have been arranged properly.
"Even if I don't agree, as a descendant of the Wu family, I can understand my grandfather's thinking--" The boy's tone was obvious insistence: "It's just now, does my father really think I can hide it?"
The guess is already guessed.
And now, he needs to know the more complete truth.
"Si Ping——"
Wang Yan was talking to Wu Jingming, but his eyes fell on the young man's face: "He should know."
He thought that this child knew it.
However, I didn't expect that the Wu family had kept such secrets so well over the years.
Wu Jingming was silent for a moment, and said, "Sit down and talk."
Yan Wang nodded.
Seeing the two elders sitting back, Wu Chaoshi sat down next.
"..." Wu Jingming seemed to be at a loss as to where to start. After opening his mouth, he paused for a moment before nodding, "...A Yuan, he is indeed Sister A's child."
paused again, and then said: "Sister... and the prince's child."
Hearing this, King Yan's mind was even stagnant.
For a while, he could no longer think about other things, only these short words echoed back and forth in his mind.
This is a real child...
is true, and his children...
"..." Wu Zhao half-downed his eyes, making people unable to see his upturned emotions.
Although I have guessed it, when I hear it with my own ears, it is still different.
It turned out that the person in the portrait he had seen in the Qizhen Temple was his biological mother.
"This matter really shouldn't be kept from you till today..." Wu Jingming's voice was slightly hoarse at this time.
Speaking these words to A Yuan himself is not only revealing the truth of an old thing, but also telling himself and telling everyone that from this moment on, this child is no longer his child.
He was pitying for this child at first, and he transferred his guilt to A sister to the child.
Later, watching the children grow up, loving and admiring, gradually overshadowed everything.
Sometimes he even forgets the existence of that matter, seeing that the child is getting better and better, and he still thinks about it with pride-worthy of being my son, Wu Jingming.
When I think of it at first, I feel dazed.
But this day, sooner or later it is coming... finally it really came.
"What happened... back then?" King Yan reluctantly recovered, and his voice was muffled.
"That year, the prince was ordered to expedition, and not long after the prince left Beijing, sister A was diagnosed with pregnancy. I still remember that the first emperor was so happy and gave many rewards to the Yanwang Mansion..."
Wu Jingming recalled and narrated the past.
"At that time, I heard that the prince’s war was intensified, so A sister did not write to the prince about her pregnancy, fearing that the prince would be distracted... But it didn’t take long before the emperor couldn’t afford to be ill, and the situation in Beijing changed drastically. A sister has a keen nature and is worried all day long for this. Soon after the death of the first emperor, A sister has a sudden abdominal pain, and the delivery period is more than a month earlier..."
"Because it was a premature birth and the fetal position was not correct, the situation was particularly dangerous... Hearing of this, the empress dowager did not care to guard the first emperor, and went out of the palace to the Yan Palace. A full day and night, A sister exhausted her energy and was unable to take care of it. The child is born."
Although it is an old thing in the past, it was crushed into powder in the years, and it is irreversible, but after listening to these, King Yan still feels as if he is in it, his body is tight, his eyes are red, and his face is white. Down.
"At the end, even the two midwives that my Wu family arranged in the Yanwang Mansion were helpless... While the eldest sister was still alive, I begged the empress dowager..."
At this point, Wu Jingming’s eye sockets were already red, and he took a slow and deep breath before he was able to continue: “The eldest sister knew that she had no life left, so she begged to have the fetus in her abdomen cut out as soon as possible...”
Later, according to the eldest sister’s dowry maid——
"The empress dowager refused to allow her, insisting on saving her elder sister's life no matter what, but the elder sister was already breathless at that time, and there was no room for return... the eldest sister asked again, whether the child is alive or dead, she I just want to take a look, I just hope the empress dowager can fulfill her last wish."
The intention of these words is obviously to "coax" the Queen Mother and promise her to cut the child out as soon as possible, but under this condition, how can the Queen Mother refuse?
Fortunately, this child is very lucky, and when he was cut out, although he was green all over, he was really alive.
He thought, the eldest sister should be smiling then...
"Later, someone from the palace asked about the situation, the queen mother made a decision to conceal from the palace people about the safe birth of the child, and only one corpse and two lives... The news came and questioned the empress dowager and the new emperor. The death of Sister A was another strange thing. In order to ask for explanation, there was a riot--"
It was precisely because of this scene that he was able to confuse the emperor’s sight.
At that time, the emperor hadn't ascended the throne, and the situation was unstable. He didn't dare to offend the Wu family again. He expressed his guilt in every possible way, and then he soothed the second brother.
Sister A’s funeral was also handled by the second brother alone, and the royal family did not have the opportunity to approach A sister’s body.
Later, my father rushed to the capital.
A Yuan, who was still in his infancy, was held in his arms by his father himself, sitting in the carriage and leaving Beijing and out of the city, no one dared to come close and stop the inspection.
Speaking now, everything seems to be easy, but the thrills at that time may only be clear to the empress dowager.
The queen mother, and their Wu family-as long as these two are replaced by other people, this child will never be able to survive silently.
"...Why hide the child?" There was a tremor in Yan Wang's tight voice.
If it wasn't for Zhenzhen and the queen to notice something, why wouldn't anyone even dare to know that his child was born safely?
He didn't know anything about this back then. When he returned to Beijing, everything had already been covered up. What was in front of him was-his father, his wife and children were gone.
"At that time, the situation in Beijing was complicated and turbulent, and the prince did not know when he could return to Beijing without any news. The queen mother wanted nothing more than to keep A Yuan safe."
At this point, Wu Jingming's eyes were slightly cold for two minutes: "Furthermore, the premature birth of the elder sister back then was very strange."
Wang Yan looked at him closely: "What else did you find?"
"At that time, the prince lost the news and was in a dangerous situation. His life or death was uncertain. When the military newspaper was introduced into Beijing, the empress dowager wanted to keep Auntie from her, but the person who spread the letter first sent the news back to the Yanwang Mansion."
If you say that this is just a coincidence, then they found a key point.
"After hearing this, Sister was worried and almost awake at night, but even so, she still knew that she was thinking about the child in her womb-what really caused Sister to give birth prematurely was what Sister heard from several people'accidentally' A few rumors made A sister mistakenly believe that the prince was dead, and said that the body was found, but she didn't dare to tell her at the moment, everyone was hiding from her."
Suddenly hearing such words, how could A sister be able to hold it?
It was precisely because he found out this point. When he talked about it with his father, he was heard by the second sister, and the second sister made up his mind to enter the palace.
"The prince thinks that the rumors that came to A sister's ears back then were really just accidental?"
The hand that King Yan placed on the tea table turned into a fist, and the fist was even trembling.
Under such a tense situation at the time, nothing can happen by accident!
And if it wasn't accidental, if something really happened, it was calculated by others!
After eighteen years, he didn't think that his suspicions at this time would still be impulsive and indiscriminate... and these suspicions had already taken root in his heart before he had heard these words today.
But these so-called calculation entanglements, at this moment, are not the most painful existence in his heart.
His ears are all those words of Wu Shizi just now.
Really learned of his "death"...
I was tortured during childbirth, and I really begged the mother to have her son by caesarean...
How scared and painful should I really be?
But at that time, he never accompanied her to protect her.
For countless days and nights, he was thinking about why he had to recommend himself and lead his troops to respond to the battle. Although this battle is difficult, should he really have to? In this world, has there been no one to protect him?
It is his wife that he should protect!
As a husband, not only did he fail to protect her comprehensively, but everything that Zhenzhen experienced was because of him!
This thought that had tortured him for so many days and nights reappeared in his mind. He imagined the pain and fear that his wife had encountered before his death, and he seemed to be in it, but he could only watch her suffer and couldn’t change it. all of these……
Many mixed emotions are like huge waves that are surging and stirring, covering his whole person in it, unable to breathe. King Yan's lips are green, and his trembling palms tightly cover the position of his chest.
"Wang Ye——"
Wu Jingming saw that something was wrong. Before he had time to ask, he saw that the figure of the man who was sitting there with his back stretched slanted, and the whole person, including the chair, fell to the ground!
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Xu Mingyi's expression in the backyard changed, and he subconsciously looked to the elegant room with lights on.
Can't you still fight?
But when the three of them looked at it, they weren’t very impulsive people-and this kind of thing, how can you not have to do it, right?
"...A Yuan, go!"
Hearing this faint urging sound, Xu Mingyi knew that something must have happened, and hurried to the front hall.
At this time, there are no guests in the hall, and the door of the tea house has been closed and no longer welcomes guests.
As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw Wu Chao coming downstairs in strides.
"What happened?" Xu Mingyi asked in a low voice.
"The prince suddenly fell to the ground and fainted——" Wu Zhao said in a hurry, seeing his buddy walking quickly, he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and ask the best doctor nearby to come to see you!"
The guy didn't dare to neglect, so he answered "Yes" and went hurriedly.
Xu Mingyi glanced at the direction where the guy was leaving, and hurriedly said, "I'll go up and take a look!"
Wu Chao nodded, and the two went upstairs together.
In the elegant room, King Yan, who was only hurriedly seated back into the chair, had obviously lost consciousness, and Wu Jingming was anxiously supporting King Yan's shoulders.
"Don't do this." Xu Mingyi said immediately: "Hurry up and help the person to the inner room and lie on their backs——"
Wu Chao immediately did it, and Wu Jingming didn’t care about questioning anything. He followed his son and helped King Yan onto the low couch in the inner room.
Xu Mingyi surveyed the situation of King Yan, and said to Wu Chao, “Quickly untie the prince’s robe so that he can breathe as smoothly as possible.”
While speaking, he looked at Xiao Qi who heard the movement walking in: "Xiao Qi, you go to the nearest medicine hall and get a few Baoxin pills back——"
"Yes, let the subordinates go!"
Looking at the back of Xiao Qi quickly taking his order and leaving, the untimely illusion in Wu Jingming's heart reappeared.
Xu Mingyi opened the two windows in the inner room.
"Ms. Xu, can you know what happened to the prince?" Wu Jingming could not help but ask after seeing roughly that the girl knew medicine.
Xu Mingyi turned around, looked at the person on the low couch, and said: "The prince should be suffering from a heart disease. This disease originates from the stagnation of heart and blood, and the emotions should not be subject to major shocks."
Otherwise, symptoms can be triggered by excessive emotions, not only coma, but in severe cases, life may even be endangered if they are not treated in time.
"Heart disease?" Wu Jingming murmured: "The prince is physically strong. I have never heard of him suffering from a heart disease..."
Wu Chao, who had just finished loosening his robe and strapping for the king of Yan, straightened up. Hearing this sentence, he whispered: "That must be the illness that he suffered in the Northern Territory these years—"
Wu Jingming fell silent.
It seems that in recent years, the prince has really had a hard time.
If it weren’t, how could it be possible to save up with such a disease...
