"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!"
Shen Haolin wiped Shen Cha's tears, held him in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly.
To be honest, they felt very uncomfortable. This thing was so unbelievable and absurd from beginning to end. It was obvious that the mistake could be killed at the source, but it was allowed to grow, leading to an irreparable tragedy.
Shen Haolin couldn't help but sigh. He now finally understood why his mother was unwilling to return to Beijing or mention his grandfather. She even refused to return to Beijing for his grandfather's funeral, citing the tense border war. Back then, he thought his mother's actions were inappropriate and he didn't really agree with them. But now, if he were in his mother's position, he would probably do the same thing.
"Xiaotian... so innocent!" Bai Meng's expression was not very good. He looked at the people in front of him and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what they are thinking. If... I mean if, Xiao God knows the truth. If I want to seek justice from His Highness Prince Ning, I will stand on the same front with him. Although we have been fighting since childhood, we would quarrel if we could not say more than two words when we met, but..."
"The relationship between the two came out of a quarrel, but it is much stronger than an ordinary brotherly relationship. No matter who of the two of us encounters difficulties that are difficult to solve, the other will be duty-bound to support him." Song Qiyun held his cheek and sighed, "Not only Yes, I, Brother Haolin, Sister Xiaocha, Sister Miaomiao, Brother Xiaojing who did not come to Xijing, the two Xiaojiu, and Sister Meilin will all stand with my cousin. After all, we are together Uncle Ning, who has lived with me for many years and experienced life and death together... is just a stranger who has never met. Now I understand why my aunt has to stay far away from her. No matter who knows the truth, it is impossible not to feel guilty. You should be panicking, my grandpa's family is really messy." He shook his head, "Fortunately, my grandpa passed away early, before Uncle Ning grew up, otherwise... I'm afraid I would have been pissed to death by Grandpa Huang and grandma!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jin Miaomiao reached out and hit Song Qiyun on the head, "Is this what a junior should say?"
"What else? They can do such... unspeakable things, and they are still afraid of the comments of their own juniors! If you are afraid of comments, don't do it. If you do it, don't be afraid of people saying it! Everyone says that Grandpa Huang is a romantic and talented man, and he There's really nothing wrong with it." Song Qiyun sneered, "Ah, by the way, we still need to tell the emperor about this matter so that he can be prepared. However, we have to be careful, he has a bigger temper than me. Now, if we find out the truth is like this, I'm afraid he will rush to the queen mother to question her. If he is impulsive, we will stop him."
"I guess His Majesty has already been prepared. He should have guessed this before us. After all, he goes to the Imperial Mausoleum to visit His Highness Prince Ning every year." Bai Meng nodded and looked at the man who had slowly stopped crying and calmed down. Shen Cha, "But he really couldn't hold it back. He wanted to ask the Queen Mother, and we had to stop him. He asked the Queen Mother about this kind of thing, just to embarrass the Queen Mother. Should she say she knew, or should she say she didn't know? ?”
"Isn't that true!" Jin Miaomiao finished the last sip of soup in the bowl, "If it is true, how should the Queen Mother tell His Majesty what difficulties her mother and His Majesty's grandmother had to give birth to? Your Highness Prince Ning, if it is not true, the Queen Mother will be very angry. Besides, this kind of harem matter is not something that Your Majesty should ask about. If you really want to find out what the Queen Mother says, you still have to go to Xiaocha That’s all.”
"Me?" Shen Cha shook his head decisively, "Why me? I won't go!"
"Xiaocha, it's useless to be angry now. Haolin, Qiyun, and the commander-in-chief are all aggrieved for the Marquis. Everyone feels the same because Xiaotian was implicated for no reason. But..." Jin Miao Miao looked at Shen Cha and then at Song Qiyun, "If we were Aunt Xue, we would make the same choice if we were in that situation."
"I understand what you mean." Shen Cha sighed, "Blood ties, family ties, and national justice are inseparable."
"That's right, that's why Aunt Xue resolutely chose to die. This is a kind of..." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, "This is probably a kind of integrity!"
"I understand, I understand, and I won't be angry because of this."
"What's that for?"
"What really made her angry was His Highness Prince Ning's inaction." Shen Haolin poured a cup of tea for Shen Cha and put it to his mouth, "His Royal Highness Ning, as a man, failed to shoulder his responsibilities and dealt with this matter. The biggest mistake was to keep silent on the matter and let it develop, which even cost Aunt Xue her life. If this matter could have been handled properly and not so arbitrary, it would not have developed to the point where it is today." See. Chen Cha stopped drinking after two sips. He put the cup back on the table, "Based on the late emperor's current behavior, he should be very dissatisfied with the old lady...His Royal Highness Prince Ning's biological mother, and also want to teach his family a lesson." , that’s why we chose this last resort.”
"Brother understands my feelings." Shen Cha twitched at Shen Haolin, "That's what I mean. Prince Ning can't choose his biological mother, so the late emperor still loved him, but he was angry with his biological mother's family. We don’t know what role he played in this case, but if he didn’t take the responsibility, he couldn’t get rid of it. For his own reputation and his own future, it is difficult to agree with the fact that he gave up his sister’s life. . It can be seen that he cannot afford the reputation of a wise king."
"Agree!" Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun said at the same time, "We think so too. His Highness Prince Ning's choice is so disappointing."
"Hey, hey, everyone, please calm down first and don't be too busy discussing whether His Highness Prince Ning is responsible." Jin Miaomiao waved his hands, "If he is a person who is not responsible, will the acting prince always protect him more?" I didn’t even look at Prince Dai’s attitude towards him. He was still very affectionate and intimate, calling him one after another. So, let me tell you, there should be some hidden story here that we don’t know about. We’d better ask more. , so as not to wrongly accuse him. Besides, I don’t think that the Duke’s wife avoided Mrs. Hou because she knew the life experience of His Highness Prince Ning. There should be other reasons. These are all things we should investigate. Don’t worry now. Convict him, right?”
"This is where care leads to chaos. This is also the worst result we can think of. No matter what the truth is found out in the future, it will not be worse than this, right?" Shen Cha sighed softly, "I am now I can’t even imagine how Brother Xiaotian would feel if he knew there was such a secret behind his aunt’s case. For so many years, if he hadn’t been determined to clear up the situation for his mother, he would have long since passed away in this world. We have not forgotten it. Well, when Aunt Xue passed away, how did he torture himself? He was so desperate that he wished he could die on the battlefield immediately."
"That's right. At any rate, he listened to the advice and gradually got better." Jin Miaomiao also worried, "If he knew this was the case, the support in his heart would suddenly collapse, and he would become a different person. It’s really unpredictable what kind of situation he will become. If you ask me, no matter what you find in Beijing, don’t tell him for the time being. If you can hide it, you should hide it, at least until the battle of Jin Kingdom is over. It would be great if we could completely pour dirty water on Wanyanping."
Several people looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"That's all it can do."
