"Sister, are you crying?"
Gong Yuanzheng's voice was particularly clear in this somewhat silent room, and the trembling tail tone could tell that he was at a loss at this moment.
Gong Yaozheng touched the tears on his face: "No, maybe the lighting was so beautiful that I forgot to blink. Huh? Why are you crying?"
Gong Yuanzheng looked unbelieving, and Gong Shangjiao obviously didn't believe it either.
Huadeng: Do you think I believe it or not?
"Do you have to expose me?" Gong Yaozheng said in a low voice with a slightly hoarse voice.
How could Gong Yuanzheng not know why his sister was crying? He put his face in front of Gong Yuanzheng, looked at it carefully, and exaggerated: "It turns out that I saw it wrong. It was the light refracted by the crystal that hit my sister's face. I thought my sister was crying!"
Gong Yuanzheng's explanation that there was no three hundred taels of silver here made Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help laughing and pushed him away: "Don't tell others that I know you when you go out in the future!"
Gong Yuanzheng saw his sister smiling and was not annoyed at being pushed away. He looked at the moon outside the window: "Brother, should we go back?"
The words were spoken to Gong Shangjiao, but he still looked at his sister. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gong Yaozheng.
Gong Yaozheng took the handkerchief and was slightly surprised. How could a boy carry a handkerchief with him!
Gong Shangjiao looked at the sky and realized that it was indeed time to go back.
He stood up first and opened the door to the room...
The moonlight is like silk, shining in...
I don't know when, the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and the bright moonlight illuminates the entire Old Dust Valley as bright as day!
The crowds at the Old Dust Valley Market gradually dispersed, leaving only a few scattered vendors who had not yet closed their stalls.
Gong Yuanzheng picked up the lantern, handed the tiger lantern to Gong Yuanzheng, and took the dragon lantern with him.
"Let's go home and go to bed!" Gong Yaozheng smiled and handed the dragon lantern to Gong Shangjiao, concealing his embarrassment. She was a little rude today and actually cried. What a shame!
Gong Shangjiao took the dragon lantern: "Ayao, actually you..."
"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it!" Gong Yaozheng interrupted Gong Shangjiao. No matter what he said, she couldn't listen to it now!
Gong Yuanzheng put a piece of silver on the table, stood up and took Gong Yuanzheng's arm: "Since sister doesn't want to hear it, brother, please stop talking, go and go home!"
Gong Shangjiao: "..." I just want to say that even if you cry, no one will laugh at you...
Gong Yaozheng: Fortunately you didn’t say anything!
The three of them went down the stairs, and the waiter who was about to close the door came up to them: "Don't you want to stay in the hotel?"
"No, how much is the rent?" Gong Yaozheng picked up the wallet on his waist and prepared to pay.
"Ten coins!" the waiter said with a smile.
Gong Yaozheng took out a broken piece of silver and weighed it: "No need to look for it!"
Pass the silver into the little hand.
"Okay, sir, come again next time!" The waiter said warmly.
Gong Yuanzheng almost wanted to stop him, but seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was quite happy to pay, he said nothing more...
The room on the second floor was empty, leaving only a solitary piece of silver...
It's late at night...
Gong Yuanzheng was walking, but suddenly she didn't want to leave. She stopped and looked at Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng: "..."
I couldn't help but look at Gong Shangjiao, the meaning was obvious, should I take my sister and leave first?
Gong Shangjiao raised his lips and smiled: "You can take your sister back. I have to go to Yu Palace, so I won't be with you!"
"Second brother, please rest early. Brother Yuanzheng and I will leave first!" Gong Yaozheng didn't hear what he said clearly when he heard that he was not with you. He probably wanted to go back and rest early.
Just in time, Brother Yuanzheng can fly with him!
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Yuanzheng, who was already sleepy, a little funny.
My sister got up early today and didn't sleep at noon. It's normal to be sleepy now!
After glancing at Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng picked up Gong Yuanzheng and used Qinggong to go to the palace gate.
Gong Shangjiao watched the two people go away, raised his hand to look at the dragon lantern in his hand, and his eyes showed a warm light.
Gong Yuanzheng had already fallen asleep when he arrived at Zheng Palace, so Gong Yuanzheng had to ask his servants to pick up the lanterns.
"Zheng..."
"Shh, go get a basin of hot water and keep your voice down!" Gong Yuanzheng said in a low voice.
The light in my sister's room had been on last night, and she got up early today. Now she fell asleep, and I couldn't bear to wake her up.
Gong Yuanzheng carried Gong Yuanzheng to the room and covered her with a quilt carefully. The door was opened and a servant brought a basin of hot water.
Just as she was about to step forward, Gong Yuanzheng pushed her back and asked her to put the basin on the low table next to the bed and retreat.
Gong Yuanzheng wiped Gong Yuanzheng's hands and face gently, for fear of waking her up. (Author: If you knew how much she slept, you wouldn’t think so! Gong Yuanzheng: What happened? Go back and code!)
These two days,
How could he not feel his sister's concern?
My sister wrote a letter late at night, fearing that her brother would not come back. She was just afraid of being disappointed!
He has always known about his sister's cautious love for him, but he is such a strong-willed person, so he still won't expose her!
In fact, even if my brother doesn't come back, he still...
Well, he will be disappointed!
Gong Yuanzheng put the cloth towel into the basin, tucked Gong Yuanzheng into bed, picked up the basin and left the room...
As everyone knows, after he left, a drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of Gong Yaozheng's eyes, turned over, and fell asleep...
After leaving the door, he handed the basin to the servant at the door. He looked up at the moon in the sky, thought about it, and walked into the pharmacy!
…
The night is quiet...
The Yu Palace is heavily guarded and silent...
A group of patrolling guards passed by and when they saw Gong Shangjiao, they all saluted: "Master Jiao."
Gong Shangjiao walked to the door of Yu Gong's study. Jin Fu was still waiting at the door. When he saw Gong Shangjiao, he came up to him: "Master, I have something to say to you."
"I see."
Saying that, he opened the door and went in...
The fragrance of tea lingered in the room. Gong Hongyu's face looked a little heavy. When he saw Gong Shangjiao, he motioned for him to sit down.
Next to the tea table, there is a packed letter...
"Shang Jiao, it's time for you to know some things! How much do you know about the Zhenggong incident back then?"
"I was young back then and didn't know much. It was late at night and I was a little sleepy. If Master Zhibian has anything to say, just say it!" Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly, feeling a little worried in his heart.
"Do you still remember Mrs. Xi from Zheng Palace?" Gong Hongyu obviously had no intention of speaking directly.
"I have some impressions. I heard my mother say that she was brought back from outside by the former Master of Zheng Palace, and was not selected from the palace gate." Gong Shangjiao's expression was slightly restrained. When her mother mentioned her, she always said that she was a woman. It would be a pity not to let such a free and easy man stay in the palace gate.
Such a bright and lively woman is indeed incompatible with the palace...
But then, Mrs. Xi suddenly became depressed, and Zheng Gong, who had been filled with laughter and laughter all day long, also fell silent...
Later, Mrs. Xi had a dystocia, and after giving birth to her brother Yuan Zheng, she left Yuan Zheng and her brother Yuan Zheng and passed away. The then Lord of Zheng Palace did not renew their relationship...
And Ayao is the child born outside the palace gate by Mrs. Xi and the previous palace master of Zheng Palace...
Gong Shangjiao was shocked: "Master Zhibian, what you want to say is related to Ayao?"
Gong Hongyu shook his head: "No, what I want to say is Yanjiao! The owner of the West Tower mentioned in the secret letter you sent last time."
Gong Shangjiao felt a little relieved, Yanjiao! No big deal!
But Gong Hongyu's heavy expression made him look at it seriously: "Yanjiao is related to Mrs. Xi?"
"You guessed it right. More than ten years ago, the General's Mansion, which had good relations with Gongmen, was framed and executed because he was falsely accused of treason. Mrs. Xi is the sister of General Yan, Yanxi! And that Yanjiao has a lot of people. Maybe he’s General Yan’s son.”
"So, Yanjiao is Ayao and Yuanzheng's cousin?" Gong Shangjiao's pupils trembled slightly. He was still thinking that if Yanjiao was willing to marry...
Gong Hongyu lowered his eyes slightly and picked up a letter on the side: "Back then, the General's Mansion was framed for rebellion. After Mrs. Xi got the news, she was very anxious and almost wanted to leave the palace, saying that the blood of the palace could not be left outside. She wants to go back to the General’s Mansion to pick up her child. But in fact, we all know very well that she wants to go back and live and die with the General’s Mansion!”
"Later, the General's Mansion sent someone to send Ayao back to the palace gate, and wrote a letter ordering Mrs. Xi not to go back to the General's Mansion, and Mrs. Xi gave up. It was a rainy night, and Ayao developed a high fever when he arrived at the palace gate and became ill. For many days, I almost died."
"Mrs. Xi took care of her day and night. It wasn't until she fainted one day that she realized she was pregnant. The baby came at the wrong time. Mrs. Xi was already grieving about the incident at the General's Mansion and was anxious day and night. Later, when she learned that the General's Mansion had been destroyed, When the house was ransacked and no one was spared, she finally fell ill!" (Gong Yuanzheng: You came at the wrong time!)
"Later, she heard that her brother General Yan's child might still be alive, so she wanted to look for it. But how could Wang Zheng be willing? He stopped her and said that he would let Gong Men find it and let her take good care of the baby!"
"When the palace gate sent people to search, they just found a brothel, and that brothel was massacred by Wu Feng. The fire burned everything, and the palace gate was empty! Wang Zheng has been hiding the truth from Mrs. Xi, only saying that there are no clues yet. But after all, paper can't cover up the fire. A conversation between Wangzheng and I was overheard by Mrs. Xi. At that time, she was already pregnant with Liujia..."
"Due to the grief, she had a dystocia! Wang Zheng has been proficient in pharmacology and has saved countless people in his life, but he can't save his wife alone!"
"Then Yan Jiao, if what you said and checked is true, the time and identity will be correct. That child should be called Yan Xiao! Yan Jiao should be the name he changed to himself."
Gong Hongyu handed the letter in his hand to Gong Shangjiao: "This is the secret letter from back then."
Gong Shangjiao took it and glanced at it: "So, what does Master Jibian mean?"
"For so many years, Gongmen has always felt guilty towards the General's Mansion. Now that the blood of the Yan family is still alive, Gongmen should do its best to protect it. However, Wu Feng is rampant now, and Gongmen's vitality has been greatly damaged since that war. Therefore, I want to bring him to the palace gate!" Gong Hongyu went round and round and finally expressed his intention.
"Then Yan Jiao is the owner of the West Building, and judging from his appearance, he doesn't want to have too much involvement with Gongmen. I'm afraid..." Gong Shangjiao finally knew how big of a problem Gong Hongyu had thrown at him.
"So, I hope you can mediate and explain the interests to him. He is the only bloodline of the Yan family. You must not put life and death aside for the sake of revenge!" Gong Hongyu's emphasis on bloodline heirs is engraved in his bones.
"Master Zhiren, I'm afraid I can't do this, but Ayao can!" Gong Shangjiao didn't think he had any friendship with Yanjiao. The cooperation between Xilou and Gongmen was all facilitated by Ayao. He just Just took it over!
"Ayao? That's right. Then you tell Ayao about this...forget it! It's better not to tell her. You try to negotiate with Yanjiao. If he doesn't want to, then send someone to protect him, but secretly Actions must not be noticed by Wu Feng." Gong Hongyu had his own thoughts. When the general's house was raided, Yan Jiao had already remembered the incident.
No one would be nice to someone they only met once for no reason. Yanjiao probably recognized Ayao, but he didn't recognize him because he didn't want Ayao to get involved.
Ayao has not been as lively as ordinary children since she had a fever as a child. She has finally gained some popularity in recent years. He really shouldn't let her get involved in her father's affairs.
"You acted secretly about this matter, and you must not tell Ayao. After all, Ayao lived in the General's Mansion for a while when he was a child. Although he may not remember it, he still shouldn't worry about it!" Gong Hongyu sighed, as if The whole person looks much older.
"Shang Jiao understands! If Master Zhibian has nothing else to do, Shang Jiao will leave first!" Gong Shang Jiao stood up and wanted to leave. The amount of information was too large and he needed to sort it out.
"Wait!" Gong Hongyu called him, took the letter beside him and handed it to Gong Shangjiao: "Take this letter and keep it properly. If something big happens at the palace gate, open it!"
Gong Shangjiao took it: "Master Zhibian, what is this?"
Can it be opened until something serious happens? Could it be immeasurable flowing fire?
Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly: "Please tell me what kind of big event it is?"
"I'm tired, Shang Jiao, please step back!" Gong Hongyu obviously didn't want to answer, so he dug a hole for Gong Shang Jiao.
Not daring to disobey Zhibian's orders, Gong Shangjiao had no choice but to take the letter and leave.
When Gong Shangjiao opened the door and went out, the night was so dark that the moon hid in the clouds at some point.
He glanced at Jin Fu and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
Gong Shangjiao held the letter in his hand and was thinking...
Big event, what kind of big event will it be? Master Zhibian, what is there that he has to hide?
The night seems darker...
Kakunomiya will have a sleepless night tonight, but Gong Yaozheng will not sleep well either.
Everything in the dream was bizarre, and someone spoke in her ear: "Ayao, be good, don't cry!"
Is that warm embrace my mother?
Mother, such a strange word, she has been an orphan since she was a child, where is the mother?
"Ayao, look at the wave drum that brother brought you. Ayao wants to grow up quickly. Brother will take you to pick out the most beautiful jewelry and jewelry!"
As the sound of wave drums echoed in his ears, Gong Yaozheng woke up.
She shook her head, feeling a little dizzy. It was already bright outside and it was almost noon...
Everything in the dream is so illusory. Is this the memory of the original person? But where does the original body have a brother?
She had never had a brother, nor a mother who gently held her in her arms!
Gong Yaozheng knocked his head and cursed secretly that he was really crazy. He must have been moved by his brother Yuanzheng yesterday, so he had these weird dreams.
Yesterday, for the first time, she felt so deeply that she was cared about and treated with caution...
In her previous life, she had no relatives, no lovers, no friends or even enemies.
Oh, and I have a carefree bestie! But that was also raised later!
She has always been accustomed to following others, with a somewhat pleasing personality, whether it is to her best friends, colleagues or bosses.
Even if others scold her behind her back and slander her secretly, she can still greet them with a smile because she wants to live better than anyone else! So that others can only be jealous and envious, and there is nothing they can do against her.
But she still died, crushed to death by the lamp she bought with a lot of money...
After arriving at the palace gate, thinking back to her previous life's diligence and working day and night, she felt it was too ridiculous. Death was like a lamp going out, and she couldn't take anything with her!
So she lay down and exposed herself... Maybe the life in the palace was too comfortable, or maybe it was because she had a younger brother on the expedition, she began to long for family, friendship, and even...
She has always been careful to treat Yuan Zheng well, not wanting to appear too deliberate.
After all, she, Lu Yao, doesn't have to ask anyone to like her, she is used to it by herself!
But yesterday, two people firmly told her that they would stand by her side and protect her!
She wasn't the kind of hypocritical person, but she still cried. For the first time, the tears refused to obey her orders and fell down her cheeks.
In fact, she woke up when she arrived at Zheng Palace last night, but her brother Yuan Zheng was so cautious for fear of waking up that she shamelessly did not open her eyes.
She allowed her brother Yuanzheng to cover her with quilt, wipe her face and hands, and the warm towel touched her face, which made her feel warm from the bottom of her heart...
That cautiousness, just like her! This is the most wonderful feeling in the world!
Gong Yaozheng got up and washed himself, looked in the mirror, and looked a little bad!
She sat in front of the dressing mirror and dressed up. She had seen this face for two lifetimes! But every time she puts on makeup, she still becomes narcissistic!
After leaving the room, I went to the dining room. This is a routine operation! The servants are all used to it, and the lunch for Gong Yaozheng has been prepared long ago!
Gong Yaozheng couldn't afford to go early. He usually slept until he woke up naturally, and then got up to have lunch!
But when I arrived at the dining room today, I didn't see Gong Yuanzheng: "Where are my brothers Yuanzheng?"
"Back to Miss Second, Mr. Zheng went to the Corner Palace this morning and hasn't come back yet," the servant replied.
He must have eaten at Gong Er's place, because Gong Yaozheng stopped waiting for him and started having lunch.
And in the Corner Palace,
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, and there was a picture on the desk next to it, with a poem on it.
The font is running script, which is originally a flowing font, but there is a deep-seated sadness in the movement of the strokes.
The stream is far away and the wall is dangerous. Looking away, the officials in the government are so miserable.
I have told the wild goose that the road is far away, and we have watched Emperor Luan go to the new dynasty together.
There are thin willows growing on the other banks without any reason, and falling poplars growing on the narrow paths.
Come and go happily, regret in this life, don't wait to look back on the past.
The signature is - Yanxi.
When Gong Yuanzheng went to water the flowers last night, he accidentally touched a place and discovered that there was a secret room in the pharmacy...
The secret room was covered with dust because it had not been cleaned for a long time. The walls were covered with paintings. In the paintings, women were sitting or standing, smiling sweetly and brightly...
There is this calligraphy on the desk...
And the name on the signature was a name he had only heard from his father, Yanxi.
It was his mother he had never met before, Mrs. Xi!
But what is expressed in the lines of this poem is the stormy waves, the dangerous wall, the desolation, the emperor Luan, the new dynasty...
Come to think of it...
There are many people with superb medical skills in the palace. Why would the mother die in childbirth?
What on earth happened to make the woman with the dazzling smile in the painting write such a poem!
If you are in trouble, look for your brother!
So Gong Yuanzheng took this calligraphy to Jiao Palace early in the morning, and his brother's expression told him that his brother definitely knew the secret!
But Gong Shangjiao was hesitant to speak, unable to make a decision...
"Brother, tell me! I should know!" Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were pleading. He wanted to know about his mother's past.
"I can tell you, but you must not reveal it to Ayao." In the end, Gong Shangjiao compromised under Gong Yuanzheng's persuasion.
"Why?"
"Do you want to make your sister feel bad?"
"In no mood!"
"Then don't say it! Don't even mention it in front of her!"
"good!"
