156 Life Experience
Hearing what Li Yao said, Li You couldn't help asking: "Mother, now the child has grown up, and I hope my mother will tell me, what happened to my Li family? And who is my father?"
Now Li You asked about her life experience, Li Yao was also in deep memories, and then she told the story. After all, Li You has grown up, and it is time to let him know, and she also wants to use it. Come to warn Li You not to take personal risks.
"You'er, my mother is not actually Li Yao, my real name is Li Antong, and I am a relative of the Tang royal family."
With just the first sentence, Li You immediately raised his head and looked at his mother, his face immediately showing shock.
Li You originally guessed that, in his opinion, his mother should be a member of the family, but he never thought that his mother was a clan of the royal family surnamed Tang Li. Because, in any case, this is almost impossible.
Seeing Li You's shocked expression, Li Yao did not stop, but continued to say: "Wei Niang's ancestor is Li Deliang, the subordinate father and brother of the great ancestor Li Yuan. After the founding of Tang Dynasty, he was named Xinxing County King. And I His father, that is, your grandfather, Li Jin, not only attacked the king of Xinxing County, but was also named Xinxing King because of his merits. At that time, our family was in its most prosperous period."
After that, Li Yao's voice became bleak, and her voice was a little sad, "Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Although his father worked hard and was famous, he finally chose the wrong person."
Li You already had a clear outline in his mind at this moment. Hearing his mother said that he had chosen the wrong person, he couldn't help but say: "Grandfather and Princess Taiping?"
Li Yao raised her eyebrows, surprised by her son's reaction speed. She then nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. In the past, Princess Taiping was so powerful, and his father supported Princess Taiping. What happened later, you should be able to. I thought. The current emperor took the lead in launching a coup and cut off Princess Taiping's line in one fell swoop, and as the father of Princess Taiping's line, he was naturally killed by the gang. When the mother was only ten years old, that day, countless soldiers broke into the house. Kill people, kill them when you see them..."
Speaking of this, Li Yao's emotions were already a bit excited, as if the scene of the killing was right in front of her eyes, she was covering her face in fear, and her body began to tremble.
Li You hurriedly went over and hugged her trembling body, gently patted her mother on the back, while saying some comforting words: "Mother, you don't need to say, the son can guess it, don't say it again, mother!"
After a while, when Li Yao's mood gradually stabilized, Li You let her go. She gave her mother a glass of water. Li Yao took the cup and took a sip. Instead of saying anything, she continued: "My Li family has more than 80 people, but there were only three of us sisters left. In the end, only the mother was left."
Her voice trembled a little, and Li You shook her hand worriedly. Li Yao shook her head slightly and continued: "After the incident, the current emperor Li Longji became the emperor, and the three of our sisters were exiled to Lingnan and changed to the surname Li, which will never be immune."
Hearing this, Li You also understood. Li Longji became the emperor, and naturally he wanted to clean up Princess Taiping’s remnant party. His mother’s family was almost wiped out, and now she is the only one left. Since his mother was exiled, It must have escaped for some reason.
"Mother, how did you escape?"
Li Yao choked up when she thought of this, but she still said: "Before I arrived in Lingnan, my sister was seriously ill. We are all exiles. Naturally, there will not be many escorts. Regardless, I still let my five-year-old sister go on her way every day, and finally... ."
Speaking of this, Li Yao shed tears, but she still didn’t stop, and then said: “Less than ten days after my sister’s death, my sister was also abused by an escort officer one night. My sister was ashamed and indignant. People would commit suicide if they were unprepared. If we weren't the mother at that time, I'm afraid I would have suffered such a situation. After that, I found the opportunity and escaped from their hands, hiding in the mountains for several days before leaving the mountain."
When Li Yao said this, he stopped. Li You saw that he was a little unstable and didn't follow up. It wasn't until Li Yao adjusted himself that Li You asked again, "What's next?"
"I was trafficked into a brothel in Yangzhou." Li Yao said plainly. But her words were astonishing, causing Li You to change color suddenly, opening her mouth wide, and suddenly thinking of something bad, could it be that she was....
Seeing the look of her son, Li Yao didn't know what he was thinking. She glared at Li You angrily and explained: "Mother is naturally fine. She was only ten years old when she was sold into a prostitute. The old bust wanted **For me, let me obey, and I had to follow her. After five years in the prostitute, the old bustard began to let his mother pick up guests. Naturally, the mother was unwilling to become a prostitute, so she found a chance to escape. I was rescued by your father by accident."
"My father?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes, it was your father Liu Mingdong who rescued my mother at a critical moment. My mother jumped into the river in a panic in order to escape the tiger's mouth. She happened to be seen by Liu Mingdong passing by and was rescued by him. She was rescued by him. Later, the old bustard from the brothel arrived with his thugs. After he asked why, he spent dozens of ransom for me. Later, because the mother really had nowhere to go, he had to follow him back to the middle of Shu."
"Then why did I follow my mother's surname? Don't the mother like Dad at all?"
Li Yao shook her head slightly. Liu Mingdong was indeed not a favorite. Although she accepted it slowly, who knew Liu Mingdong would be so short-lived.
"In the beginning, your father seemed to Weiniang only to save his life. He was also a person with a family. It is strange to say that I was able to accept it gradually and became his house. Who knows later, he She was killed by the mountain bandit. At that time, Wei Niang was pregnant with you. You will know what happened afterwards."
For Li You, he didn't particularly care about whose son he was. Now that he knew everything, he didn't ask too much. He didn't even ask who his father Liu Mingdong was.
"Mother, you tell me this, do you want to let the child let go, don't want the child to follow in the footsteps?"
Li Yao said: "My mother knows that you have been a very assertive person since you were a child. You don't need to worry about your mother, but this is the emperor's power. We can only accept it and cannot challenge it. This is what the mother wants to tell you."
Li You said: "Imperial power! Haha, I don't need to challenge it, someone dares to do it. Mother, since I like Yingying, I will naturally bring her back. This is something that a child can do, even if it is provoked. Disaster, the child is also arranged to have a future, mother can be at ease.” (End of this chapter)
