Chapter 123: the truth
The eldest princess doesn't even remember how she spent this time, how much she regrets her decision, if she hadn't insisted on sending Shi Ye into the palace, wouldn't these things happen now? ?
She regrets it.
Her bowels are full of regrets.
She can't wait to go back to the one who was going to send Shi Ye to the palace a few years ago.
She should have thought that Shi Ye has been living abroad for many years, and it is impossible to regard the Hua family as her own and her family as her. Shi Ye is Hua Yanran's son, Hua Yanran's What kind of good son can a white-eyed wolf who betrayed his family give birth to?
The more the eldest princess thought about it, the more she felt that the fire in her chest was burning fiercely.
She heard a sharp voice in her mind screaming frantically, that voice called her to kill Shiye to avenge the dead flower family.
The eldest princess tried her best to suppress that impulse. She finally waited until today, not in a hurry. Now is not the time, just wait a little longer...
"Shi Ye, I'll give you one last chance." The eldest princess trembled and clenched the long sword in her hand. Shi Ye, who was behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Admit the sins you have committed, and your uncle and I may look at your mother and spare your life."
Shi Ye had a light smile on his pale face. He looked at the eldest princess with cold eyes, and slowly spit out three words: "It's just you?"
The eldest princess was so angry that her eyes were blood red: "You..."
"Bold!" Eunuch Zhu's face was no better than that of the eldest princess, he pointed at the eldest princess' hand shaking, and said angrily, "Shi Shutong, what are you? Things? When will it be your turn to question His Royal Highness? You don't want the head on your neck anymore?"
The eldest princess sneered: "He used to be the prince, and he is the prince now, but he may not be the prince soon."
Eunuch Zhu said: "What did you say?!"
The eldest princess' hateful gaze swam around on Eunuch Zhu's surprised and angry face, and then landed on Shi Ye's face, she stared at the flawless face, as if To see through that face.
Over the years, she has racked her brains to find a cure for Shi Ye, but she never dreamed that Shi Ye was pretending to be sick all the time. Shi Ye's healing ability is still there, but it's just a lie Just all of them.
In those days, she delusionally wanted to use Shi Ye as a puppet to support her in the upper position, so that she could gain more power through Shi Ye, and even her status in the Hua family over the years was exchanged for her apparent closeness to Shi Ye. She came, but she didn't expect that Shi Ye not only failed to make her guilt, but also dealt with her in turn.
She could have stood taller, but the trouble was with Shi Ye...
It was Shi Ye who ruined her plan!
"Yes!"
The guards, who were neatly armed from head to toe, responded in unison, immediately surrounded Shi Ye and others, and drew their long swords to point them, and the archers not far away also tensed up bowstring.
For a time, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
The royal family members who really came to the family banquet hid behind the palace maids and eunuchs, looking pale and nervously watching all this, so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
When they saw that the guards obeyed the eldest princess without hesitation, they inevitably had a little doubt in their hearts.
After the emperor fell ill, Concubine Rong, who was not the queen but was the head of the harem, took part of the military power in the name of sharing the emperor's worries, but those military powers were in the hands of Concubine Rong , how could he be arbitrarily mobilized by the married eldest princess?
Concubine Rong, she…
Thinking of this, they no longer dared to think about it.
Shi Jin sat behind Concubine Rong and watched everything happen. He didn't know what would happen at the family banquet. When he saw the eldest princess, he vaguely sensed something was wrong , but he never imagined that the gaffe would develop in this direction.
Aren't the eldest princess and the prince a good aunt and nephew? Why did the eldest princess suddenly turn against the prince?
And the flower family was bloodbathed...
Is this what the prince did?
Shi Jin felt like he had walked into a huge fog, and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and west.
Until he saw that the guards who were only obeying his mother obeyed the eldest princess, he seemed to understand something, and turned his eyes to the mother sitting in front of the left.
I saw his mother staring blankly ahead, seemingly indifferent to everything, but the arc of the corners of her mouth that seemed to be indistinct betrayed her heart.
Shi Jin knew his mother, and he even saw through his mother's thoughts in an instant.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in his mind, as if something had cracked.
At that time, Jin's reaction was outdated, and he had already dragged his mother's hand to a remote corner of the imperial garden. There was no one here, and even the chirping of insects could not be heard on a winter night.
Did you put it in?"
, even when the eldest princess is surnamed, she is not qualified to appear here.
But the fact is that the eldest princess not only came, but also made a good family feast.
Come on, mother didn't force her."
Shi Jin's mind was blank, he was a little confused: "But you know the purpose of her coming."
Concubine Rong said: "Mother knows."
"Since you know, why let her in? Why help her? Are you crazy!" Shi Jin's eyes were almost filled with shock, and a vague conjecture appeared in his heart, He couldn't believe it but had to believe, "Mother you..."
Concubine Rong put her warm hand against Shi Jin's cheek, she looked at Shi Jin with firm eyes.
Shi Jin was stunned for a while, then murmured: "You want to use Huanggu to deal with the prince..."
Looking at something in the jungle, she said calmly, "Your father and emperor are dying, this is a good time for our mothers to seize power. If you miss this time, you know what we will face in the future. day?"
"You think too much, the prince is not that kind of person..."
"It's been so many years, can't you see what kind of person he is?" Concubine Rong interrupted Shi Jin's words.
Shi Jin's voice stopped abruptly.
Concubine Rong turned her head sharply, the tenderness in her eyes was completely gone, she could only see the emotion of hating iron and steel, "Since you were young, you have been crushed by him, he wants to What is your father giving him, but when you want that thing too? Your father will only ask you to let him, because he is the prince and your brother, you have to let him, don't you have Any idea?"
Shi Jin stared at his mother in a daze. He saw that his mother's face looked particularly hideous in the moonlight, exactly the same as the aunt he had just seen... No, his mother's appearance was even more terrifying.
The eldest princess is more of anger and grief, while his mother is more of greed and desire.
For the first time, Shi Jin felt that his mother was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that he hardly knew the woman in front of him.
Let's make a comparison." Shi Jin took a step back, he looked at Concubine Rong who was surprised and shook his head slowly, "The son has always known what kind of person the prince is, but the son suddenly found out that the son does not know what kind of person the mother is. ."
Concubine Rong watched Shi Jin get farther and farther away from her, the surprise on her face gradually turned into anger: "What do you want to do?"
, I also hope that the mother can break those unrealistic fantasies and pull back before the incident, so as to avoid unnecessary tragedies."
Speaking of which, Shi Jin turned around and walked towards the direction where he came.
"Stop!" Concubine Rong's angry and crying voice suddenly came from behind, "Stop for me!"
Shi Jin subconsciously paused, but he had no plans to turn back, so he said sorry in a low voice and continued to walk forward.
How could she know that Concubine Rong's movements were faster than him, and before he took a step, she rushed over.
Concubine Rong grabbed Shi Jin's arm and forced Shi Jin to turn to face her. Before Shi Jin could react, she raised her hand and slapped Shi Jin on the face.
snap.
In this quiet night, it's extra crisp.
Shi Jin was stunned again, before turning to look at Concubine Rong for a long time, a trace of blood oozes from the corner of his mouth - just now he accidentally bit the corner of his mouth.
Concubine Rong glared at him, her beautiful eyes were scary red, her body was shaking with anger, and she slapped her hand and slapped Shi Jin on the face.
Shi Jin was beaten to the side again, this time he did not turn his head, but silently watched the snow on the road glowing silvery white under the moonlight.
However, Concubine Rong could no longer control her broken emotions. After the slap, she suddenly covered her face with her hands, lowered her voice and cried out in extreme pain.
"Mother has only one son for you, and only one hope for you, but you are so unsatisfactory..." Concubine Rong has always been gentle, courteous, and decent, and she has never cried in front of her son. For the first time in history, she cried so sadly and lonely, "You won't fight, but have you thought about your mother's feelings? Have you thought about your mother's fate? If Shi Ye sat on the throne, what do you think he would be? Will you let go of being a mother?"
Shi Jin was pressed by Concubine Rong step by step, and his breathing was a little short. Nothing will be done to us."
"No injustice and no enmity? How can there be no injustice and no enmity!" Concubine Rong raised her tear-stained face, her beautiful eyes were wet with tears, and she stared at Shi Jin. After watching for a while, he let out a sneer, "Son, you are too naive."
Shi Jin said stunned: "The son doesn't understand the meaning of the mother..."
"Do you really think he has no idea about us? You are wrong, you are so wrong!" Concubine Rong wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, she no longer concealed the The hatred spread from the bottom of my heart, and the voice trembled slightly, "If he is really what you said, how could he poison your father emperor!"
"What, what..." Shi Jin was stunned on the spot. For a moment, it seemed as if a bell fell from the sky and covered him firmly. Many things flashed in his mind, and it seemed like something None, he grabbed Concubine Rong's arm tightly, "Mother, what did you just say?"
Concubine Rong looked at Shi Jin's gradually collapsing expression with cold eyes, she calmed down and said, "The poison in your father's emperor was caused by Shi Ye."
Shi Jin said: "Where's the evidence?"
Concubine Rong showed disappointment: "Son, don't you even believe what Wei Niang said? Wei Niang won't lie to you."
Shi Jin didn't seem to listen to Concubine Rong's words, he only said: "Son only looks at the evidence."
"Okay." Concubine Rong said coldly, "Since you want evidence, I will give you the evidence for my mother."
After speaking, Concubine Rong called out Xiao Shunzi.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound from the grass next to her. After a while, a hunched little **** walked over cautiously.
The little **** was Xiao Shunzi who was waiting by Concubine Rong's side. I don't know when he came over with a lantern.
Concubine Rong didn't even look at Xiao Shunzi, her eyes always fell on her son: "Xiao Shunzi, show that letter to King Xuan."
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said yes, then took out the letter she was carrying from her chest and handed it to Shi Jin with both hands.
Shi Jin took the letter suspiciously, opened the letter in the light of the lantern held by Xiao Shunzi, and pulled out the thin piece of paper in the letter.
The stationery has two rows of familiar ink and ink.
Although the relationship between Shi Jin and the emperor is not particularly close, he often went to the emperor's study to play when he was a child. The eunuch's handwriting.
The writing on this stationery…
It is clearly the handwriting of the great **** He Yu!
After looking at the contents of the letter again, Shi Jin suddenly lost the strength in his hand, the letter fell off his hand and fell lightly onto the snow.
Shi Jin closed his eyes, only to feel the world spinning in front of him.
When he calmed down, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly picked up the letter and put it in the letter, Shi Jin stared anxiously at Xiao Shunzi's chest with the letter in it, even the voice Gone with the wind: "Prince, he...isn't it really from the father?"
Concubine Rong stepped forward and touched her son's shoulder comfortingly: "Isn't it written clearly in black and white on the letter?"
At this moment, Shi Jin can no longer deceive himself.
He is more familiar with He Yu's handwriting than anyone else. He Yu clearly wrote on the letter that Shi Ye was not written by the emperor. He Yu was instructed to quietly investigate the matter in private, but he did not expect that He Yu would inform Concubine Rong of the matter.
Shi Jin suddenly realized something, and turned to look at Concubine Rong with shock in his eyes: "You already bought He Yu?"
The tears on Concubine Rong's face had been dried by the cold wind. She seemed to calmly say, "I'm helpless for my mother, but I just want to seek the truth."
Now, this truth is put **** in front of Shi Jin.
Shi Jin's eyes were dark, he didn't know where to go, he could only stand in place, but he could still hear Concubine Rong's voice in his ear.
"
Shi Jin gasped: "I..."
"He not only killed your father, he also killed so many people in the Hua family. Even if you and I can accommodate him, the Hua family and the people of the world cannot tolerate him!" Tears welled up in the concubine's eyes again, she clutched Shi Jin's clothes tightly, and almost pleaded, "Son, it's enough for you to endure for so many years, and now he killed your father, do you want to endure any longer? Or is it that you couldn't bear it until Wei Niang was also killed by him?"
Concubine Rong threw herself into Shi Jin's arms, crying so much that she was so sad that she almost fainted.
Shi Jin was having a hard time even breathing. He seemed to be in a dream, holding Concubine Rong unconsciously.
All kinds of messy thoughts flashed through his mind, he remembered his father's attitude towards Shi Ye, Shi Ye's attitude towards his father, as well as the publicity and remarks that Shi Ye had said before. Indifferent words.
He was always confused, what son would not like his father? What's more, the father is so kind to his son.
Now, he finally understands—
Maybe it was because Shi Ye knew that the emperor was not his biological father.
Therefore, no matter how good the father is to him, he will not take the father's goodness to heart, and even treat the father with the attitude of treating the servants, and let the father be one country at a time. Jun is obedient to him, telling so many people to watch jokes...
At this moment, Shi Jin didn't even think about whether the poison in his father's body was caused by Shi Ye, he slowly tightened the hand holding Concubine Rong, and there seemed to be something in his stiff expression settle down.
So it was…
Mother was right, Shi Ye took away those things that belonged to him, took away the fatherly love he most desired, and also took away his father's dignity as the king of a country.
Shi Ye!
What a great time!
A wild species that came from nowhere has caused a thousand waves in the palace.
"Mother, my son promises you." Shi Jin closed his eyes in pain, his voice was low and decisive, "Son will definitely take back everything that originally belonged to him!"
On the other side, Wen Chi was also stunned.
The plot was advanced, half a month earlier, what about Ye then? Will Shi Ye encounter the same thing again?
Wen Chi pushed aside the little embolus who came to report the letter, and hurriedly ran out, but after a few steps, he realized that he didn't know where Shi Ye was at all.
Wen Chi was anxious to become an ant on the hot pot, and could not wait to put on a pair of wings and fly to Shi Ye's side, and he hurried back to Xiaoshuozi.
"Where is Shi Ye? Where is Shi Ye?"
To persuade him, "But His Royal Highness gave instructions when he left. If it is not necessary, the young master must not take a step out of this East Palace, and wait for His Royal Highness to return in the East Palace with peace of mind."
