Mo Xuetong's mouth opened, but no sound came out. She held her fingers on the bottom of her sleeves on the table tightly and tightened her eyes, as if this could give her strength.
The flowerpot of the Jade Owl Flower was filled with pieces of broken jade, piled up like half a pot. The flower was growing on it, and it looked very prosperous. Mo Xuetong had admired the flower for a long time, and had also thought about it. Could it be that this flower has a hidden meaning, but I have never thought of finding it in the pot.
Could it be that in the previous life it was because of this jade token that Emperor Zongwen was jealous of Duke Fu? So now that this jade token has been issued, how will he deal with it!
"What's wrong with this jade token?" Mo Xuetong took a long breath, calmed down again, and looked up at Luo Bin for confirmation.
Seeing that Mo Xuetong quickly woke up from the shock and the question came to the center again, Luo Bin nodded secretly, walked to the door and asked the servant guarding the door to step back three feet before entering again and closing the door.
He turned around and sat down on the chair, looked at Mo Xuetong with stern eyes and said in a deep voice: "This jade token can mobilize part of the royal family's secret guards. It was a token given to Prince Jin by the emperor back then. It just followed the changes in Prince Jin's palace. The token was destroyed, and the token also disappeared. The emperor once sent people to secretly investigate the matter, but there has been no whereabouts. "
"So, now that seeing this jade plaque, the emperor remembered what happened back then?" Mo Xuetong looked at the jade plaque and asked doubtfully, "The person who competed with Prince Jin for the throne should be the late emperor, right? Prince Jin's palace has long since disappeared. Man, why is the emperor investigating this matter now? Moreover, the so-called secret guards are members of the royal family, and they are loyal to the current emperor. How can anyone use this token to give orders now? "
The so-called mobilizing part of the royal family's secret guards may have been useful in the era of King Jin, but now after two generations, how could the emperors not make some changes, and they must invalidate this jade medal, so in practice, this jade medal is now It is just a jade card at all, and it no longer has the strength it once had.
There was one more thing she didn't say. If her mother was really the daughter of Prince Jin, she would be a remnant of Prince Jin's palace. Emperor Zongwen wanted to find her mother, so he wanted to kill them all!
It happened more than thirty years ago. My mother was just born at that time. A newborn girl. It took more than thirty years to trace? It seems very unreasonable.
"The Prince of Jin conspired to rebel, and the whole family of the Prince of Jin's Mansion was raided and executed. The prosperity of the past has long since faded away, and only the empty Prince of Jin's Mansion still remains there. During the inspection at that time, some precious old items in the Prince of Jin's Mansion also disappeared, and this jade plaque was among them. The emperor wanted to retrieve these old palace objects, so when he saw this jade plaque, he immediately asked me to investigate if there are any similar ones. I heard that there are others similar to this jade plaque." Luo Bin looked at me with a hint of emotion. Sadness.
The second uncle is the Minister of Punishment and the original owner of this pot of flowers. Emperor Zongwen should have put this matter on him, but why did the second uncle want to find him and tell this matter to a weak girl of his own? At this time, I didn't dare to come to see him openly, so I spread suspicion and used my grandmother to ask for advice. Maybe my second uncle also knew about my mother!
"Then why the second uncle asked me to come today..." Suppressing the wild beating in her heart, Mo Xuetong pretended to be confused, looked at Luo Bin, and asked in surprise.
"When your mother married your father, your grandmother specially prepared some pearls and jade objects. Because your mother liked pearls and jade, your grandmother went out to buy a lot of them, and a lot of them were treasures. Since the emperor is looking for this kind of jade plaque, or It was included in your mother's dowry, so I asked you to ask. This matter is originally a matter in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. It's not good for your daughter's family to be involved in it, so I had to borrow your grandmother's name." Luo Bin explained with a smile. road.
This sounds very reasonable and can be said to be watertight. If Mo Xuetong didn't know that her mother was the daughter of Prince Jin, she would never doubt Luo Bin. She would only think that he was really thinking about herself, so she secretly treated her Come on, now, she doesn't think so.
The fact that her mother was hiding in the Fu Guogong Mansion was probably not a very secret thing. At least some people always knew about it, such as her grandmother, her second uncle, or other people who secretly existed. She suddenly felt that I felt heartbroken because my mother had lived in such an environment back then, when she knew about her life experience.
Are you scared, or lonely and vulnerable
She was an orphan without a family. Although she was in a deep boudoir, she did not dare to take herself lightly. Although the old events in Prince Jin's Mansion had nothing to do with Emperor Zongwen, if Prince Jin had succeeded at that time, the current emperor would not be Emperor Zongwen. , thinking about it like this, I'm sure the emperor will get angry and ask the Jin Palace to really eradicate the problem.
This should be one of the reasons why my mother married my father!
Otherwise, as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, how could she only marry a small fifth-rank official, and she has been far away from the capital since the day of her marriage? Could it be that her mother also had this dispute with the eldest princess
The strange thing is that my mother has always been frail and sickly in my memory, and she has such a heavy load in her heart. Even if she is the closest person, my mother may not have mentioned how she, a weak little woman, can bear it.
There was an inexplicable sadness in the corner of his eyes, as if he saw that sickly woman, even though she was smiling gently, she was also very vigilant. She was always so careful to protect the home and never let anyone discover her. Different, so she gave her husband a concubine and let him give birth to a concubine and a concubine like everyone else.
Only by disappearing into the crowd can no one find out!
His heart was filled with pain and soreness, but a smile slowly spread on his face. He looked at the jade bracelet he was wearing and stretched his hand out to Luo Bin: "Second uncle, I have never seen this kind of thing in my mother's dowry. Jade plaques, even jade with such a beautiful color are rare, but this jade bracelet in my hand is not bad, would you like to see it, second uncle?"
As he said that, he was going to pull it off and show it to Luo Bin.
Luo Bin lowered his head and saw a translucent jade bracelet. He stretched out his hand to hold her, his eyes fell on it and looked at it carefully before letting go and saying: "Tong'er, there is no need to take it off. This jade bracelet is not in your mother's dowry. It was a gift from the person who made an engagement with you. It was this jade bracelet that was given to you at that time. The jade bracelets came in pairs, and they were in pairs. It was not long after you were born. No one mentioned it for so many years. It should be because you didn't do it. Counted."
Sure enough!
"Is this still an object from back then?" Mo Xuetong's beautiful brows wrinkled slightly and she asked, shaking the jade bracelet on her hand.
"That year, when you were one year old, I went to see your mother. Your mother specially took it out for me to look at, and just asked me to be a witness. If someone really comes to the door with a jade bracelet next year, she can also speak for you." Thinking of Luo Xia's charming smile that day, Luo Bin's voice darkened inexplicably, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
The second uncle is really good to my mother, right? So when I mention my mother, even if there is a smile on my lips, I feel sad and lonely.
"Second uncle, maybe Tong'er didn't see it correctly. I'll check it again when Tong'er returns home later. There are really a lot of jade and gold items in my mother's house. My father has sorted out several boxes now. In the past, I didn't care, I didn't read it all." Mo Xuetong's thoughts changed, and she smiled charmingly, her long eyelashes flashed, and she suppressed the astringency in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, then Tong'er will check it carefully after he goes back. It would not be a good thing if this jade tablet falls with you. Just like the jade flower this time, if we didn't take the initiative to send it to the palace, who found the jade tablet It can be big or small." Luo Bin smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Mo Xuetong's head, with love in his eyes.
"Why?" Mo Xue's eyes were blank, she blinked her eyes and asked in confusion, bit her lip, suppressed the shock in her heart, and replied again.
In her past and present life, she has always wanted to know why the Fuguo Palace fell and why it suddenly ended up like that. Even if the eldest princess was partly responsible, the eldest princess must be a woman, and Qiang Sha is just a princess with no power. As for me, I can really turn my hands into clouds, turn my hands into rain, and hold the fate of a noble family in my hands.
After her rebirth, she also saw the helplessness of the eldest princess. Even if she had to protect someone, sometimes she could only do a certain step. It was never like what she had thought in her previous life, where the wind would be wind and the rain would be rain.
Then the problem still lies in the pot of jade owl flowers that Sima Lingyun found from the Duke Fu's Mansion, or in other words, the jade tablet.
"This jade token has long been unable to command the royal secret guards, but there were secret guards in Prince Jin's Mansion back then. After what happened that year... some of the secret guards in Prince Jin's Mansion just disappeared without a trace." Seeing her persistence, Luo Bin sighed. After taking a breath, he lowered his voice and said, "If the jade plaque is found in this mansion, the emperor might think that the Fuguo Palace is a remnant of the Jin Palace..."
Before Luo Bin finished speaking, Mo Xuetong understood. If she hadn't been sitting leaning against the table, she would have been unable to stand. It turned out that it was for this reason.
The matter of the eldest princess may be just the cause, but the most important thing is this reason. No wonder Sima Lingyun would step on the Fuguo Palace to ascend to the throne, and use the family background of the Zhenguo Marquis. Although these things are royal secrets, he must also know them, so by chance After getting the jade medal from the flowerpot, he immediately went to the palace to ask for credit from Emperor Zongwen.
They would even add insult to injury and say something that was not true. Some things were placed in one place so as not to arouse suspicion. Emperor Ruozongwen had long suspected that the Fuguo Palace was hiding his mother, and he also added that the Fuguo Palace had a jade that ordered the secret guards. These two cards confirmed the fact that Duke Fuguo's government was up to no good.
My eldest uncle now has troops stationed at the border. If he really wants to have an outsider, he must not cause chaos. He is the emperor and the emperor. Who is the most afraid of these things? He would rather kill someone by mistake than let one go. It turns out that in the previous life, he served as a auxiliary to the country. It was for this reason that the Duke's palace fell. Just because of an inexplicable jade tablet, it caused a huge disaster. And it was because of such a jade tablet that her fate became so tragic.
Mo Xuetong gritted her teeth and suppressed the tears that almost burst out. She touched her chest with trembling hands. The pain there was like burning oil on fire, making her unable to breathe, think, or move. Her brain It was completely blank, even the memories of the past were turned into ashes...
Luo Bin had been out for a long time, but she still sat motionless on the chair. Her whole body seemed to have become wooden. Slowly and with difficulty, she recalled her previous life. The tragic situation slowly unfolded in her eyes. In front of him, he was so helpless and desperate, but there was no one who could protect him.
Forcibly marrying Sima Lingyun, the father-daughter relationship with Mo Huawen, which had only been weak for a long time, immediately broke down. Aunt Fang was also there to pick her. Having a natal family is equivalent to not having a natal family. The grandmother who loved him the most did not exist because of the decline of Fu Guogong Palace. After half a year, he died, so that he had no way to borrow money. He had no choice but to drag Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin to hell together...
In her last life, she was so miserable. Not only was she deceived by Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun, but in the end she didn't even find out the full reason for her tragedy!
"Miss, are you okay? The old lady is awake over there and is looking for you!" Mo Lan gently knocked on the door and came in. When she entered, she found Mo Xuetong sitting there blankly, her face was pale and bleeding, and her whole body seemed like As if he had lost his vitality, he immediately panicked and hurriedly came over to support Mo Xuetong and shouted: "Miss, miss..."

While patting Mo Xuetong's shoulder with his hand!
After a while, Mo Xuetong turned her eyes and stared at Mo Lan. After a while, she woke up from the confusion. The faint smell of blood on her lips was actually the skin that had been bitten, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Where is the second uncle?"
"The second master has gone out on business. The old lady heard that you were coming and was getting up happily to look for you. Can you come over now?" Mo Lan helped Mo Xuetong stand up, walked a few steps, and asked worriedly, although she didn't know what happened to her young lady, but with her calm temperament, something big must have happened. His expression was really a bit stiff.
Mo Xuetong also knew her own family affairs. She stood up and closed her eyes to steady herself. When she opened her eyes again, she had regained her previous calmness and said calmly, "Mo Lan, it's okay now. Let's go over and see grandma."
No matter what, everything has changed in this life. This jade tablet, which once caused the downfall of the Fuguo Palace, was presented by the Fuguo Palace. Emperor Zongwen allayed his suspicions and ordered his second uncle to The investigation actually showed that Emperor Zongwen believed in Fuguo Gongfu, and this disaster was avoided.
The Fuguo Palace will not fall, and my grandmother will not die so soon!
Being able to do this means she is taking a completely different route from her previous life. In her previous life, because she had implicated the Duke of Fuguo, she felt guilty even before she died. In this new life, she is always worried, for fear that if she is not careful, her maternal family will suffer another disaster. , now it's fine, the big stone that weighed heavily on her heart is finally gone.
Why is she still sad? People should look forward. With hope, she believes that she can better protect the people she wants to protect! Never let the tragedy of the previous life happen again in this life. (To be continued)
