"It seems that Xiao Ali's unwillingness to suffer has just gone with me." Jiang Liyin's laughter was no longer as light as before, but a real smile with light in her eyes.
Because she was really happy and happy to have found her daughter.
Jiang Qingjiu was also happy for her aunt.
My aunt had a poor life. Although her late husband died young, now that she has a daughter named Xiao Ali, my aunt will definitely cheer up. Only when people have hope can they cheer up and start over.
"When I met the general, you were still young, and Fengli and Nanzhao were constantly at war. Nanzhao was originally a vassal state of Fengli."
"At that time, the imperial brother, your father, although he was the prince, was no more favored than the prince born to that woman. The queen mother, your imperial grandmother, had never been involved in worldly affairs since the late emperor changed his mind, and she did not even care about it. The imperial brother and I devoted ourselves to worshiping Buddha all day long. Until the late emperor died of a sudden illness, your imperial grandmother also went to Zhenru nunnery at the foot of Huguo Temple, and she has never seen me or the emperor brother until now."
"Even when my brother and I went to see her, she avoided seeing her. Maybe she regretted meeting the late emperor and giving birth to us." When Jiang Liyin said this, she still couldn't let go and understand, and she choked with sobs.
"Aunt~" Jiang Qingjiu went over and hugged Jiang Liyin, patting her back distressedly.
Only then did Jiang Qingjiu suddenly realize, no wonder no one around her had ever mentioned to her that she had an imperial grandmother.
"It's okay, my aunt is okay." Jiang Linyin quickly adjusted and comforted Jiang Qingjiu, who was about to cry too.
"You." Jiang Liyin looked at Jiang Qingjiu dumbfounded.
Jiang Qingjiu smiled.
"The emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, but that woman and her son were eager to move and covet the throne all the time. On the day the emperor's brother ascended the throne, he came up with the so-called last emperor's will, saying that he was the legitimate new emperor."
"There are even several important ministers and veterans who support him. Unexpectedly, these individuals usually follow the emperor's lead, but at critical moments they turn against him."
"Old thing!" Jiang Qingjiu couldn't help but cursed secretly.
"Fortunately, the emperor used his iron fist to kill these people. He put the woman and her son under house arrest for life. It is said that a few years ago, the woman couldn't bear it and died of illness. It's really God's foresight."
"Qingqing, do you think your father is cruel?" Jiang Liyin mentioned this bloody past and couldn't help but worry that Jiang Qingjiu would be afraid of the emperor's brother because of this.
"No way. If my father doesn't do this, I won't be here properly. In my eyes, my father will always be my father." Jiang Qingjiu immediately understood Jiang Liyin's worries and looked her in the eyes, not hiding. avoid.
"Qingqing has grown up." Jiang Liyin sighed happily.
"The political situation was unstable during the early days of the Emperor's accession to the throne. On the surface, I was not afraid of anything. I was very lively and did not care about political affairs. In fact, I disguised myself as a man and went in and out of the fireworks alley and the dark alleys of the city. I secretly found out a lot of information that was useful to me, Fengli. .”
"Brother Huang will often disguise himself and go deep into the people to truly understand the people's sentiments and public opinions, so as to make decisions that are most beneficial to the development of Fengli."
"That's when we met the most important person in our lives."
"Since I met the emperor's wife, the emperor's face gradually became less cold and more gentle. I knew that it must be the presence of the emperor's wife that changed him."
"And when I first met the general, I appeared in front of him disguised as a man. It's funny to say, he always thought that I was a man, so he never shied away from anything in front of me. He was worthy of my brother, and even acted at the same time for different reasons. They ate and slept together to find out something."
"Those were the happiest days for me." Jiang Liyin's thoughts returned to the first year of Jinghe.
At that time, the new emperor Feng Li succeeded to the throne, and everything was in ruins. The country had just ended its turbulent situation, and the people's lives were as difficult as the country.
Qingming Street, Ganquan County.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" For the first time in her life, Jiang Liyin experienced what it felt like to be chased.
The taste is really, really unpleasant.
She found out that recently there was always some unexplained salt appearing on the market in Fengli. Salt was government-owned and selling it privately was against national law.
But these middle-level salt merchants are just small fish and shrimps on this line. If you want to completely find out the people behind the scenes, you have to follow this line all the way down.
I just heard that two middlemen were discussing in secret that a batch of goods would arrive in the near future. They were discussing how to avoid official interrogation and investigation at the dock in three days and transport it to the market safely.
In other words, one of them is Shangjia.
It was recently discovered that the owner of this preserve store secretly placed the salt on the bottom layer of the preserves and transported them out together with the preserves without anyone noticing.
The person he was talking to was the family he had been in contact with.
She was angry when she heard that the country was poor and weak, and the people's lives were miserable. These businessmen not only sold official salt privately, but also tried to occupy the market and raise the price of salt. In this way, the country cannot develop and the people's lives become even more miserable.
She accidentally made some noise and was noticed by the two people who were plotting. They even sent their own bodyguards and thugs to chase her.
In the name of catching thieves.
She couldn't tell if it made sense now, let alone she hadn't made sense yet.
There are only thirty-six strategies, and running is the best strategy.
She ran as fast as she could in her life. She was new here and not very familiar with this place.
Salt private ownership across the country has reached Ganquan County, which is closest to the capital of Fengli.
When the emperor first came to the throne, he had no one he could trust.
So she volunteered to investigate the case herself. She repeatedly assured her brother that she would be safe and sound, and that she would get to the bottom of the matter.
After all, she has lived a life without the love of her mother since she was a child, surrounded by tigers and wolves.
Although the late emperor doted on her, he also doted on that woman's children, and he was not the only one doting on her, so she knew very well that she must always be frank to win the late emperor's favor.
This love that no one can take away allows her and her royal brother to live well in this cannibal palace, at least on the surface.
She knew clearly that the late Emperor liked her temperament, that she was not afraid of anyone, that she was charming and sensible, and that she had no scheming.
She also knew clearly that the late emperor was like this because he loved his mother, the queen who stayed with the Ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern and never saw him again.
This was his compensation, as he often looked through her into the distance.
It was the look of missing someone, she knew. Nanny was always like this, telling her that she was missing someone, someone she would never see again.
The late emperor's eyes were exactly the same as those of grandma.
She didn't understand when she was little, but now she understands.
Belated affection is worse than grass. What's more, betrayal is betrayal and does not deserve to be forgiven.
She also understood her mother's determination.
