Chapter 57: Why Are You So Crooked?
Xia Fengming knew that Wei Yu's half-truthful words were just trying to sow discord, but she couldn't control the anxiety in her heart at all.
My mother died fighting for my country, my father was sick, and thousands of soldiers at the border were fighting bloodily, but they could not resist the knife stabbed in the back by their own people.
She threw the sword, held Xiao Mingchen's fingers tightly grasped on her wrist with her backhand, and pulled him out: "I'm fine, go out and say."
"Xia Feng! Wei Yu was almost hysterical, "You are really demagoguery, King Ning, he confuses the royal bloodline and has bad intentions!" He was born of Hua Ru and Wang Mao, and their family joined hands to calculate the northwest and calculate you.
Xia Feng ignored his shouts and walked out of the execution room without saying a word.
Time flies, and the moon has quietly hung on the treetops. The two walked along the path of Huaiyuan Mansion, and neither of them meant to speak.
For a long time, Xia Feng pulled a half-yellow and half-green leaf, carefully tore it into thin strips with his fingers, and then tore it off one by one. The leaf was torn away and thrown away, she still didn't think about how to speak, and simply gave up on herself: "I..."
"A Feng," Xiao Mingchen spoke out at the same time, seeing that she seemed to have something to say, she chuckled:
"You talk first."
"No, you go first. Xia Feng quickly shook his head.
"Good. Xiao Mingchen said, "What Fang Cai Wei Yu said is true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. But before my mother met my father in the hunting palace, she did know Wang Mao, which my brother overheard Wang Mao arguing with his mother when he was a child. Moreover, I will never be able to prove my origins, the deceased is dead, and these old grievances are difficult to find. "
What if, I mean what if," Xia Feng hesitated, "What if Niangniang is still alive?"
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't know." He
said he didn't know, did he not know if Hua Ru was alive, or did he not know what to do?
The mysterious and weird song, the phoenix crown that was touched by people, the grassland pipa found by the Wei Mansion, how are all these connected?
Xia Feng was silent for a moment, and took his slightly cool finger: "Old Lady Wei told me that the Qiang girl my mother brought back to the palace was burned to death in the Wei mansion more than twenty years ago. Over the years, my mother's boudoir was often haunted, and this ghost must be the person who played the lute yesterday. "
Burned to death by fire? Xiao Mingchen frowned, "Since she is your mother's former friend, Xia Guogong must have seen her." I brought my mother's portrait, whether it is the same person, just ask. Xia
Feng had captured Wei Yu brightly, and the whole city knew her determination to completely break up with the family. Xiao Mingchen naturally did not need to continue to stay in the cell to calm people's hearts.
The two returned to the Guogong Mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, they realized that something was wrong. The empty mansion was quiet and quiet, only the guards on duty blended into the night, not even a small house, and the maids who chattered on weekdays seemed to have disappeared.
Returning to the courtyard where Xiao Mingchen lived to look for the portrait, Xia Feng casually pointed to a maid and asked her to ask if Xia Guogong had rested.
"No, Grandpa is in the little girl's room right now. The maid said, "After Miss Qianshan led people around Mrs. Wei's courtyard today, several aunts who were close to Mrs. Wei went to reason with their father-in-law. Who expected that the father-in-law suddenly became angry and sent his own soldiers to search all the girls' residences. The little girl did not suffer such grievances and hanged. "
Although Aunt Wei is not the lady of the Eight Classics, she is the sister of the Duchess of the Immortal Dynasty, and everyone in the palace is called a lady. As for the girl, there are more, and the Yingying Yanyan in the backyard are all there.
"Little girl? Xia Feng obviously didn't know who the so-called 'little girl' was, she frowned and thought for a long time, and asked uncertainly: "Is that the little girl who entered the house last year?" With such a thin skin, what kind of origin is she, could it be that my father robbed the people's daughter?
"I heard that it was from Qingbai's family, the sister of Mrs. Wei's distant relatives.
Xia Feng heard the words 'Mrs. Wei', and he snorted psychologically. Seeing that Xiao Mingchen had put away the portrait, he pulled him up and went to see this hanged little girl.
His Royal Highness King Ning stopped and said helplessly: "A Feng, how can I go to the courtyard of your father's concubine's room." There you go, I'm waiting for you here. "
You..." Xia Feng was about to say that he was pedantic, but suddenly reacted that this was indeed the case. As soon as she raised her head to face Xiao Mingchen's calm and gentle narrow eyes, she suddenly remembered that yesterday was the wedding day of the two, and if it were not for this accident, she and His Royal Highness King Ning would be husband and wife.
Xia Feng asked, "There was no chapel yesterday, isn't it counted?"
Xiao Mingchen was full of business, and suddenly heard her ask about yesterday's wedding, did not react for a while, thought seriously for a moment, and spoke: "According to the folk saying, if you have not worshiped heaven and earth, it should not be counted." Or...... When the matter is over, find an auspicious day to make up for it?
Xia Feng suddenly stepped forward and hugged him: "I don't care, wearing a lucky suit counts, no one is allowed to regret it."
"Okay, listen to you. Xiao Mingchen smiled and hugged her back, "What will I call you in the future, madam?"
Xia Feng frowned unsurprisingly: "Why are you so tired and crooked?"
Xiao Mingchen smiled with satisfaction, and pushed her: "Go quickly, now in the eventful autumn, you must be careful, any unpredictable accident is possible."
"Well, you too. Xia Feng rubbed his neck and said reluctantly, "I'm leaving." "
Wait for you to come back," Xiao Mingchen suddenly lowered his head, the burning breath spilled on Xia Feng's cheeks, and his elongated voice added, "Lady."
Xia Feng was so tired of him that he turned his head and left.
The little girl's yard was crying and crying, and a group of Yingying Yanyan rarely saw Xia Guogong on weekdays. Now it's hard to see it, as if I have to cry to him with all my strength.
Xia Feng found his black-faced father and said narrowly: "Why are you here, are you really thinking about this little girl?"
These words were stepping on the cat's tail, and Xia Guogong really darkened his face: "Is this what a girl's family of yours should say to your father?" "
How did she die, was she really hanged?" Xia Feng looked at the mahogany coffin in the hall, walked over and raised his hand to open the coffin.
"Stop! Xia Yi stopped sharply, "The deceased is big, don't mess around."
Xia Feng ignored him, nor did he look at the beautiful people who were so surprised that they forgot to cry. Self-care lifted the coffin board. Inside lay a delicate and handsome young girl, who looked even younger than her, pale in face and stiff in limbs, obviously dead for a while.
"Offended. Xia Feng carefully lifted her upper body, and his fingers groped at the thin neck for inspection. A moment later, she looked back at Xia Yi, who blew her beard and glared: "Dad, don't be angry first, I have something to say to you."
Xia Yi was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left, Xia Feng hurriedly put the little girl away, and the coffin board chased after him before he had time to cover.
"Dad, she broke the bone at the back of her neck, and she was clearly strangled to death. Xia Feng followed behind the angry father, lowered his voice and softened, "Today's matter is in a hurry, I am afraid of mutation, and let Qian Shan detain Aunt Wei without your consent." Seeing
that he still didn't react, Xia Feng raised his voice: "Dad!"
"What are you called a ghost?" Xia Yi raised his eyebrows, "It's really troublesome, why are you so troublesome, marrying someone can't get married?" What are you provoking again that shouldn't be provoked?
"You died, the concubine is to blame on me?" Xia Feng was wronged inexplicably, and sneered at each other: "She is a fine work, this is clearly provoked by yourself, and everyone will bring it to the house." This little girl is not as old as me, right? "
"When I die, it will definitely make you angry." Xia Yi couldn't quarrel with her, and said helplessly: "What's the matter?" Go ahead.
"My mother once brought back a Qiang girl named Ru'er in Huaiyuan, is she the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Ning?"
"That's right, these things are a long story. Xia Guogong thought of his deceased wife, and looked at Xia Feng and barely felt more pleasant: "She has been dead for so many years, why did she suddenly ask about this?" The
father and daughter sat casually opposite each other in the pavilion in the garden, and the soldiers came in to hold the lamp. Xia Feng waved his hand to drive everyone away: "Grandmother told me that that girl died in the fire of the Wei Mansion, why did she go to Shengjing later?" How did you meet Wang Mao? And also...... Was King Ning the first emperor's own child?
Xia Yi looked up at his daughter's delicate and bright appearance, her long hair stood on end, and her armor was not removed. Through Xia Feng, he seemed to see his wife who died early.
He didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question he didn't want to do: "Wei Yu told you?" What are you going to do with the Wei family? "
Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital offense, does this need to be considered?" Xia Feng frowned, "You answered my question."
"Feng'er, promise me not to implicate the innocent. Even if I don't miss the in-laws of our family and the Wei family, Mr. Wei is kind to me, and I don't want his descendants to be completely killed.
Xia Yi was rarely serious: "Also, His Royal Highness King Ning is the son of the emperor, there is no doubt about this." Although your wedding yesterday has not yet been consummated, but in the future, you will be the last person to doubt him.
"I didn't doubt him! Xia Feng resolutely made his position clear, "Who his father and mother are is not up to him.
"I still don't know you? Xia Yi smiled, "Feng'er, you are like your mother, resolute and strong, and you can't rub sand in your eyes." You are not an ordinary boudoir woman, no matter how good His Royal Highness King Ning is, you will not give up your faith for a man. Do you know why I don't approve of your marriage to King Ning?
"You? Xia Feng didn't expect him to pull on himself, and said without hesitation: "You still don't want to find a son-in-law?"
"No, you're wrong. Xia Yi shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Ning is tenacious and has a clear goal. The two of you are barely getting along now because you need each other in the same direction. You need a righteous monarch who can put things in order, and he needs a general who guards the border gates. But later? You are not kings, you are husband and wife. If the two sides diverge, will anyone make a compromise?
Xia Feng was silent all of a sudden, she had vaguely thought about this question, but she couldn't make sense and couldn't say it. Now that she was directly spoken, she didn't know how to answer.
It is true that everything she does now is based on King Ning's ability to share her own interests. She believes that King Ning's heart will not shift, but there are thousands of things in the world, and once there is a disagreement between the two, someone must give in. Xia Feng has never been a person who will give in.
Xia Yi knew that she had listened and turned back to the topic: "Her name is Huairu, and she is a holy girl of the Qiang people." Twenty-five years ago, Nai Baran conquered the northern and southern grasslands, and the faith of the Qiang people for generations was shaky, and some subordinates coveted the beauty of the saint, and she escaped from the altar and was saved by your mother.
Later, Wang Mao's people found Huaiyuan. At that time, your mother had already followed me to the battlefield on the northern front, and we didn't know what happened in the Wei Mansion, so she voluntarily went to Shengjing with Wang Mao's people. Your mother asked your grandfather and uncle several times, and they insisted that Huairu was greedy for vanity, and the matter was over.
"But what's going on with the Wei Mansion being haunted all these years?" Xia Feng was impatient, "Wei Yu has always obeyed Wang Mao, do you know?"
"What the hell? I do not know. However, your grandfather has always had dealings with Wang Mao, and it is not surprising that Wei Yu obeyed Wang Mao. He has no official position, and the entry and exit of salt and iron are strictly controlled, and there is no trouble.
Xia Yi sighed: "After Mr. Wei went, the Wei family went crooked. The first emperor knows Huairu's identity, and the royal bloodline of His Royal Highness King Ning cannot be fake, don't let this matter get publicized.
"I know, don't worry. Xia Feng's expression became solemn, and he said seriously: "Dad, you tell me the truth, how did my mother die?" "
