"My lord? My lord? My lord! Are you okay?"
A series of urgent shouts pulled Hei Lu'er out of his memories. He found that his body was a little stiff, maybe because he had stood for a long time and the weather was too cold.
While regaining consciousness, he moved his body a little, slowly turned to the right, and saw Ah Piao with a worried look on his face and Ah Rou holding a thick fur coat.
"Lord A Piao?" Hei Lu'er asked, "Why are you here?"
"I arranged for my aunt to go to the prison, and then returned to Qingxia Palace. Before His Highness woke up, I came out to look for you. Looking at the wind and snow outside, I thought that you might be delayed on the way." A Piao reached out and took it. The fur coat that Ah Rou held was draped over Hei Luer's body, "I didn't expect that I really saw the Lord here."
"Thank you, you are very considerate!" Hei Lu'er tied the belt on the cloak, "How is it? Auntie's mood is relatively stable?"
"Forget it, she asked me about His Highness's situation, but I didn't pay attention to her. I just told her to reflect on it and when it's ready, let's go see her." A Piao pulled Hei Lu'er to get out of the wind. She hid somewhere, looked at the heavy snow outside, and sighed softly, "I don't know what happened this year. It's this time of year, and it snowed so heavily." She turned to look at Hei Lu'er, "What were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed in your thoughts that I called you several times, but you didn't respond at all."
"Seeing the heavy snow in front of me, I suddenly thought of my mother. It was also such a heavy snow and such a cold night on the day my mother was sent out of Yiqing Mansion."
"My lord's mother?" Ah Piao and Ah Rou looked at each other with surprise on their faces, "Didn't you say that your lord's mother is..."
"A popular oiran somewhere?" Hei Lu'er shook his head gently, "That's just a rumor spread by an old bastard to slander my mother. My mother is also a noble daughter of a wealthy family in Yiqing Prefecture. It’s not what the rumors say.”
"Since it is a rumor, why don't you clarify it for me and restore your reputation? Also, is your natal family just sitting back and watching their own girl being slandered? This..." A Piao frowned slightly, "It doesn't make sense, does it?"
"There is nothing unreasonable. I once asked Ah Hei if the Wanyan family should come forward to clarify the rumors, but your brother Hei said that it is not necessary."
His Highness's voice sounded from behind them, and the three of them turned around and watched His Highness staggering over alone, wrapped in a thick cloak like a little bear. Seeing three people about to salute, he waved to them.
"Excuse me. The floor is slippery. Be careful if you fall." His Highness walked up to the three of them and said, "Suppress all your preaching. I don't want to listen."
"I don't want to preach!" A'Piao reached out and touched His Highness's hand, "It's okay, it's not cold. When I went back just now, the little girls said that His Highness was still asleep, why..."
"Not long after you came out, I woke up and saw how much snow was falling outside. I suddenly thought that since we are going to eat barbecue, we might as well bake it in the dining room. It would be a kind of enjoyment to enjoy the snow scenery while grilling. "His Highness raised his eyebrows at the three of them, "However, I still wanted to drink some wine, so I came over to the wine cellar. As a result, I saw you are all there."
"I'm here specifically to find you, sir, and I want to give you a cloak." Ah Piao nodded, "Then let's go to the wine cellar?"
"Let's go and talk while walking. The snow is falling heavily, but if you stand here, you will definitely be frozen. It's better to walk and sweat a little to keep warm."
"yes."
His Highness walked up to Hei Lu'er and patted his shoulder gently.
"Your Highness?"
"I understand being moved by the scene." His Highness waved to Ah Piao and Ah Rou and led them forward, "I am more or less aware of your mother's affairs. Speaking of which, people of our generation do not You know what bad luck you got into, it’s all the same situation.”
Hei Luer smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"Many people think that noble girls born in famous families will not have this or that kind of troubles, and will live a carefree life, and will never experience the so-called sufferings of the people. But in fact? What is the true meaning in their hearts? The suffering and suffering they suffered are beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Hei Lu'er sighed, "However, I would like to thank Your Highness for helping me deal with the Pusan family."
"It's a small effort, no need to say thank you, they are all a bunch of hypocrites. If it weren't for you, I would also want to deal with them." Seeing A Piao and A Rou's confused faces, His Highness shook his head gently and briefly introduced the situation, " Do you understand this time? The reason why I strongly supported him in the first place."
"Isn't this... too shameless?" Ah Piao's brows knitted into a knot, "Putting the Hei family aside for now, why doesn't the Pusan family want to recognize you? Your Excellency is the serious grandson of the Pusan family. Besides, don't they keep saying that your mother is the apple of their eye? Why..." She looked at Hei Lu'er in confusion, and then at His Highness, "You say one thing but do another?"
"You can't say that. They refused to recognize me or help me take revenge. It's human nature. When I came back, my grandfather and grandmother had already passed away. My mother's brother was in charge of the family. Besides, at that time, the servants The San family has long been worse than before, but the Hei family is in full swing. It is understandable that they are not willing to get into trouble. But I will eventually take action against the Pu San family..." Hei Luer opened the door of the wine cellar and asked His Highness went in first, "Your Highness, be careful, it's dark inside." After His Highness walked in and let Ah Piao and Ah Rou in, he followed, and continued, "I will do something to them, purely because they not only don't Stopping rumors adds fuel to the fire and encourages them to spread quickly.”
"What's the meaning?"
"They completely erased all traces of my mother's existence and did not recognize her as a girl from the Pusan family. They even opened an ancestral hall and crossed out my mother from the family tree." Hei Luer's face was as dark as a The bottom of the big pot on the big stove in the dining room, "Then they helped the Hei family to spread the rumor that my mother was the oiran, and supplemented the rumors in great detail. You also know that the more detailed the talk, the better The more people win the favor, the more people will talk about it. So, by the time my ability is recognized by His Highness, people will already believe that this rumor is the truth."
"They do this because they are worried that if you take revenge on the Hei family, the Hei family will not be able to attack you, and they will attack them, which will make the Pusan family even worse. Okay, I have chosen. One jar for each person. Once you’re done, let’s go to the dining room.” His Highness pointed to the jars of wine that had been picked out. These jars of wine were not big, and it would not be difficult for everyone to hold a jar. “But, What I despise the most is this kind of hypocritical coward who abandons his loved ones and surrenders to his opponents when something happens, so when Ah Hei came and asked me if I could help him, I simply agreed."
