Chapter 568 Back in the Day
With this sudden question, even though Jian Xu Bai has always been deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, he could not help but feel creeped out!
He was stunned for a moment before he got up and left the couch, kneeling down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice ”Why did Imperial Grandmother make such a remark? I don’t dare to say that I don’t have any selfishness, but I have never thought of usurping the throne! The reason why I will support His Highness King Su to ascend to the throne, apart from worrying about Second Auntie, is also because His Highness King Su has the qualifications of a wise ruler, and can succeed the late Emperor’s divine warrior!”
Taking a deep breath, he knocked heavily on the ground, “I never thought of betraying Lu!”
“Good boy, mourning home but just so ask, why do you have to be so solemn?” The dowager empress looked at him with complicated eyes, bent down to help each other, sighed, “Mourning family naturally believes you, but mourning family is more and more unable to understand what Duanmu Song … is your grandmother’s idea!”
She seemed to cry as if laughing, “Since you don’t want to be the emperor at all yet why would she still want to drive her to extinction like this?!”
Jian Xubai heard the words shocked, the mind electric turn, immediately understood the meaning of the words of the Dowager Empress Dowager, deeply inhaled a breath, just to be able to maintain the tone of the smooth, “Royal grandmother is to say … that Wei Xi?”
“If there is no Duanmu old lady secretly help, just rely on the defenseless ‘Biwu’, hide him for a moment may be possible, how can he be so smooth to send him to the outside of the city?” Dowager Empress Dowager looked at in front of the vigorous grandson, this child was sent to her front, than she is now sitting on the brocade couch is not much higher than to raise her hand to hold her knee, snowballs like a little bit of big, lying on the front, blinking black grapes like big eyes, milky voice milky shouted “Huang Grandmother”;
In the blink of an eye, things are not the same, once powdered and polished, out of the golden phase of jade, has been a father … think of the grandchildren rely on those years, her heart and sour and astringent.
Not moving to squeeze the fist, press the intense emotions, the dowager empress said slowly, “A Xu, I know, mourning mother and son are not right for you, but back then Jin was not intentional, she was also by Jane Li Kuang that villain to deceive these years, Jin, the late emperor and even mourning family , are trying their best to make amends … although know how to make amends again, your biological mother Yi Shui she also can not live …”
Tears gradually slipped from the eyes of the Empress Dowager, choking, “But now that the royal family has become this way, Duanmu she … she can not show mercy, give Lu a way to live?!”
“… “Jian Xubai knelt in front of her in a daze, his thin lips slightly open, for a long time, he only said in a mute voice, “Yi Shui County Lord, is … my birth mother?”
In fact, Song Yixiao had already told him about it before after hearing the news from Yuan Xue Pei.
So Jian Xubai for their own is not the great eldest princess of the state of Jin biological this point, has done psychological preparation, at this moment to hear, originally should not be so out of sorts.
However, the meaning of the Empress Dowager’s words was as if, the death of County Princess Yishui had something to do with the Grand Princess of Jin?
Doesn’t this mean that he honored and adored his mother’s murderer as his birth mother all these years?
“I remember father to the second aunt has been very cold, even in my memory, even the annual festival, he has never been to the Jin country great eldest princess residence!” At this moment, Jian Xu Bai’s mind turned electric, “And the second aunt not only has never been angry at father because of this, occasionally revealing the attitude, even seems to be quite tolerant of father …”
The relationship between uncle and sisterinlaw is of course wrong, but because the Grand Princess of Jin openly keeps a face in her residence, and also keeps a “righteous daughter” Nie Mai Cherry, and Jian Li Miao is a beautiful man whose appearance and demeanor can be called the world’s firstclass, he does not go to his brother’s and sisterinlaw’s residence, but it seems to be holding himself upright, deliberately avoiding suspicion.
The Grand Princess of Jin has never talked openly about her brotherinlaw, and when she shows her scruples and concessions to him, it is all in private, in front of her own children her children do not dare to say so, but in their hearts, they only say that their mother is either a “compassionate woman”, or that she has something else in mind. The children dared not say anything, but in their hearts they only said that their mother was either “compassionate” or had other plans.
In short, including Jian Xubai, including, suspected that there is an affair between the Grand Princess of Jin and Jane Li Miao, but never thought that between this uncle and sisterinlaw, there exists a revenge for killing his wife!
If that’s true …
Then trust body in Yi Shui County, by the Jin State Grand Princess and the Empress Dowager mother and daughter for many years to raise the favor of the grace of Jian Xubai, how to face this enmity?
Jane Void White’s mind went blank.
“Mourning originally did not want to tell you, Yi Shui dying, Jin kneeling on the footrest asked her wishes, she said … she said she hoped that you this life happy and joyful, and then do not know the last generation of messy things, to be able to brocade clothes and food carefree lifetime, even if it is to do a day to day not to do the right thing of the dude !” The Empress Dowager reached out and caressed his face, her eyes filled with tears and remorse, “Later, Jin Guo held your swaddling clothes, took a sword and put it across her own neck, forcing the mourning family and the late Emperor to swear that she would fulfill this promise she made to Yishui!”
“In fact, at that time, even if Jin didn’t do that, the mourning family, along with the late emperor, were also prepared to agree to Yi Shui!”
“But Mourner still breaks her word now …”
“Mourner once thought that Mourner those years can not afford to people and things, in the end in you can make up for one or two …”
“Until last night, mourners realized that … mourners after all have to be sorry for you!!!”
The Empress Dowager let out a bitter cry even if at first it was because of guilt, because of her daughter’s request, because of all the reasons to raise Jian Xubai in her lap, as if she were a full grandson, but after many years, how could there not be a true heart?
What’s more, Jian Xubai was originally the grandchildren that all the old people in the world expect handsome appearance, gentle temperament, good conduct, full of trust and filial piety to elders … The dowager empress watched such a child grow up in front of herself, and how can her heart not be touched?
But now, she wants to personally destroy this relationship accumulated over the years, “Decades ago, I am far from being a match for your real grandmother, Duanmu Song; as for now, I am even more defeated the only thing that can make Duanmu Song stop nowadays is only you, Ah Xiu, I beg you, remembering that I have raised and maintained you all these years, persuade her to stop, give Lu a way out, OK? I beg you, on account of my raising and maintaining you all these years, persuade her to stop and give Lu a way out, okay?!”
Every word the Dowager Empress said was as if it was a knife, piercing the chests of the grandparents and grandchildren each other alive, “Originally, last night, the Su family won a great victory, and although the Empress and the Crown Prince and the King of Liang could not be preserved, this battle for the throne, which has lasted for several years, can finally be settled!”
“So even though the royal family is thin, King Su, King Shu, and King Xiang are all young, and in a few years, I think they will be able to prosper.”
“So is this world …”
“But Duanmu Song deliberately helped Wei Xi escape with his life outside the city are He Wenqiong’s inner circle, as well as the King of Shu …”
“What started out as a court battle has turned into a war of arms!”
“One bad move will cause Da Rui to go from strength to strength!”
“And the Lu Clan’s direct descendants can be counted on one hand nowadays Duanmu Song her, is this her intention to completely overthrow my son Xianjia’s descendants?!”
More than twenty years ago, the destruction of the Chengyang Wangfu, looking at the never elegant and noble “Weiyue sister” with her husband to the dust, the Empress Dowager show of goodwill, the heart did not have a hidden joy and pleasure that began when the youth has been high above his peers, but prostrate in front of their own feet sense of achievement.
But conscience and let her feel the guilt from the bottom of her heart, after all, the Yan State Mrs. Duanmu Chong, is also their class of people grew up with a female companion.
When the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia needed the support of Old Lady Duanmu, the Empress Dowager once took Old Lady Duanmu’s hand, weeping and reminiscing about each other’s teenage years, and swore that one day when Emperor Xianjia ascended to the throne, she would avenge Duanmu Chong’s death by returning the identity of Jian Li Miao, who was the only son of the original concubine of Jian Ping Yu, and kill that bitch who had stolen Duanmu Chong’s rightful place in the family, and also stole Duanmu Chong’s identity as a son, and even wanted to let her own son take over Duanmu Chong’s dowry by death. The son of Duanmu Chong dowry of the bitch, death by a thousand cuts!
Will Jane Ping Yu this negative heart and thinly veiled, exhaust all the pain in the world of punishment that time the Empress Dowager said so true and so ruthless and so bitter, in exchange for the full assistance of the Jinxiu Hall, as well as, Duanmu old lady is the Shentu Guifei first cousin daughterinlaw of this identity of all the conveniences.
If the biggest contributor to Emperor Xianjia’s ascension to the throne is the Su family on the surface, then the biggest contributor in the shadows is inevitably Old Lady Duanmu in order to avenge her own compatriot sister, in order to seek justice for her own nephews, and in order to retaliate against the selfish and selfinterested Shentu Noble Consort, it can be said that Old Lady Duanmu sold her entire husband’s family along with the Shentu family to the Emperor Xianjia!
However, the first thing that Emperor Xianjia, who was recognized as a bright ruler, did after he ascended the throne was to go back on his word.
He didn’t avenge Old Lady Duanmu, and even reused Jian Pingyu for a time;
He later failed to fulfill his promise to the Su family by making Empress Su’s own son the Crown Prince.
At that time, although he was lingering on his deathbed, but by virtue of the wrist and the city, so that the two who were ruthlessly pitched by him, in a sense, can be said to be pitched for life dared to be angry.
It was just a pity that he had been sick for so many years, and it was finally time for him to die he thought that he had left enough backstops and aids for his Crown Prince, and that the young new ruler would surely be able to continue his glory.
However, the truth was that the Duanhua Emperor had lost his reputation, and the Lu Clan’s royal family, however, had to continue to meet the Su Clan and Old Lady Duanmu’s ragefilled recourse.
The Empress Dowager knew that her own mother and son did not take advantage of the situation at all, back then they used sweet words and promises, in exchange for the top of the world’s glory and honor, but in the aftermath of the power of the biggest merit ministers will be discarded as if they had nothing to do with it, so that the world is filled with the recitation of their wisdom and destiny, completely erased the sacrifices of those who pay.
Now those who have been let down and cheated are making a comeback and it is only right that they get back what they deserve.
But for the sake of Lu, after many years, she once again threw away her conscience, staring at the man in front of her knees, her tone was pale and painful, but her eyes were full of expectations, “The mourning family has raised you for many years, and since then, I have regarded you as a direct grandson. But A Xu, the mourning family is still … still can not let go of Lu’s … mourning family do not know that Duanmu Song did this, just to revenge on Xianjia’s broken words to her that year, or in order … to pave the way for you!”
“But since you don’t want to be the emperor then I beg you, you go and persuade Duanmu Song to show mercy … OK?!”
She singlehandedly raised the child she understands, even though Jian Xubai has already understood that hatred between each other, but he most likely will not refuse …
As if millions of years and as if just a moment, Jian Xubai seems to have some slight shaking, fixed eyes, but clearly still kneeling like a wooden statue, no expression, no anger, only by instinct interface, “Then you are not … to the things of the year, to my real life, the original, from beginning to end, tell me. Tell me?”
He stared at the embroidered pattern on the Dowager Empress’s lapel, but he didn’t look into anything, and only said blankly, “Otherwise, how would I know what to advise my maternal grandmother after meeting her?”
