Su Zi raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Mei. Compared with Mrs. Mei who lived in the inner house all year round, Mr. Mei was much more transparent about many things. Even though he came to Mei's mansion today, he had never met Mr. Mei or said a word, but he Just asking his mother the cause of death is enough to show his wisdom.
Su Zizhan didn't answer him immediately, but looked at old man Mei and said, "Grandfather, grandmother just told me something about my mother, about my father, my grandmother said that my father is affectionate, what do you think?"
Mr. Mei snorted, "That's someone pretending to be confused. Your grandmother is dazzled."
Su Zi hooked his lips, "Since my grandfather understands it, please tell me about my father."
Mr. Mei waved his hand, "There is nothing to say. At that time, your father took out a family heirloom and exchanged it for the king of Nanjiang to relieve your mother of the cold bug. After returning to Beijing, he entered the palace and asked the late emperor to marry him. The late emperor asked I, because the Mei family owes him kindness, I can't refuse. Your mother said that if you let her repay the debt with her own body, it's better to die, but it can't be worth your father's thoughts. After getting drunk, let your mother lose her body to him, you Only the mother agreed. When your mother was alive, he treated her very well, and after giving birth to you, he devoted all his attention to you. As for whether your mother has forgotten the endless days, no one asked her again. "
Su Zizhan stared at Old Master Mei, "Grandfather, what is the Mei family's view on the Southern Chu country and the court situation for so many years?"
Mr. Mei narrowed his eyes, "Boy, you came to Mei Mansion today, it seems that you are here to inquire about His Highness the Crown Prince. Since you were young, you have disliked each other, why have you changed your temper now? Is there anything you can't say?" "
"Grandfather doesn't need to care about me and him, just answer my questions." Su Zizhan stroked the little fox's fur with extremely light movements.
Mr. Mei's eyes fell on his hands, "Where did you get the little thing?"
"I picked it up." Su Zizhan still responded.
"Where is such a cheap little thing to pick up? This white fox has an extraordinary history." Mr. Mei is not as easy to fool as old Mrs. Mei, "You treat me like I am old, and you can fool me, don't you?"
Su Zi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal about Mr. Mei's knowledge.
Old Master Mei didn't care about him either, "The Mei Manor is loyal to the Southern Chu country and the Southern Chu royal family, and His Royal Highness must know that, so he dared to use Yan'er and Yu'er. As for what you came to inquire about, my grandfather didn't hide anything. You, I know something, but I don't know whether it is what you want."
Su Zizhan looked at him, "Grandfather, please tell me."
Mr. Mei said, "There are three things. One is that when someone wanted to kill your aunt, he used the cold worm Gu from Southern Xinjiang, and your mother blocked it for your aunt. Later, I found out that the person was Princess Lingnan." , Princess Lingnan is Zhao Zaifu's younger sister; one is that your mother went to Southern Border, and the King of Southern Border took a fancy to her and wanted to keep her in Southern Border. The family heirloom, said to be an ancient jade that can warm and nourish people as well as Gu worms. After returning, your father was punished by your grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall for seven days; My aunt divided the medicine into two and gave it to the two of you, and the person behind the poison is also Lingnan Princess."
Su Zizhan looked at Old Master Mei, "Princess Lingnan is an unknown princess in the Lingnan Palace, and she is ridden on the head by concubines."
Mr. Mei said, "It's her. She likes the current emperor. It was the emperor, Mei Mansion and Wuwei Hou Mansion who jointly found out the news. However, for the sake of peace in Lingnan and Zhao Zaifu's face, Zhao Zaifu severed his relationship with his younger sister. , The emperor's secret book was given to the King of Lingnan, so the King of Lingnan imprisoned Princess Lingnan in a disguised form in the mansion."
"Where did her cold worm Gu come from?" Su Zizhan asked, "And where did the poison that killed me and His Highness the Crown Prince come from?"
"Cold worm Gu naturally came from southern border, and her poison came from King Li of southern border. King Li was sent to Beijing as an envoy and fell in love with her. She coaxed King Li to give her something harmful, just to harm your aunt. Later, instead of harming your aunt, it harmed your mother." Mr. Mei said, "As for the poison in his hand, it's the same."
"Women's jealousy" Su Zi raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't you kill him?"
"The emperor was furious and wanted to kill him, but your father suggested that if death is a happy one, she should suffer the punishment alive. She has suffered a lot in the Lingnan Palace for so many years." Mr. Mei said.
Su Zizhan stopped talking.
Mr. Mei looked at him, "You know everything you need to know. You should tell me the cause of your mother's death now. Once you find out, tell me."
Su Zizhan looked at the white hair on the temples of Mr. Mei. The two beloved daughters died early, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. He may not feel better than Yun Chi and him. It was said about being bred by the blood of the dead Gu.
After hearing this, Old Master Mei's face gradually turned pale, and after a long while, he said, "So that's the case, the poisonous poison in Nanjiang is very harmful." After finishing speaking, he said again, "The king of Nanjiang
Why didn't His Royal Highness kill him when he regained Southern Border, this damned thing?"
There is no need to think about the reasons why the king of Nanjiang harmed people. Hundreds of years ago, the small countries in the southwest wanted to get rid of the fate of being subordinate to Nanjiang. Quite a lot. It's just that on the surface, you can't tear your face, and you have to maintain a circle of harmony. After all, the tug-of-war has lasted for four hundred years, and no matter whether it is Southern Chu or the small countries in southern Xinjiang, they cannot easily start a war, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
A hidden Phoenix tree killed the current empress and Mrs. Marquis of Wuwei, or if Yun Chi hadn't had a good life, she would have been killed a long time ago, then I can only blame myself for not investigating.
But now, with the passing of time, the King of Southern Xinjiang probably never thought that before the Phoenix Tree's secrets were revealed, all the small countries in the southwestern region, including Southern Xinjiang, had ceased to exist, and were taken back by Yunchi in advance.
"Who else knows about this?" Mr. Mei asked again.
"His Royal Highness informed the emperor, and I informed my grandfather." Su Zi chopped off.
Mr. Mei was startled, "I didn't tell your father."
"He probably doesn't need to know." Su Zizhan said bluntly, "A person who can't even see through his son, it's better not to know."
Old Master Mei sighed when he heard the words, Su Zi cut his defenses against Wuwei and waited for this, it can be seen that freezing three feet is not a day's cold. He said, "Forget it, in this world, it is you juniors who are in charge."
Su Zizhan was noncommittal.
The two stopped talking, and Mr. Mei stood up, "Let's go to eat."
Su Zizhan stood up holding the little fox, and walked out of his mother's yard with Mr. Mei.
After lunch in the Mei Mansion, it was getting late when I returned to the Prince's Courtyard of Wuwei Hou's Mansion. Liu Fuxiang was standing at the gate of the Prince's Courtyard, dressed thinly, her hair was loose, her body was covered with a layer of snow, and her face was frozen. Bai, obviously, has been waiting for a long time.
Su Zi cut his face coldly, stopped and looked at her.
When he was young, he liked it, but not necessarily how much he loved it. What he couldn't stand the most was not her marrying someone else, don't hug her, but marrying her father when her mother's bones were still cold.
After his mother's death, he encountered a double betrayal. Su Zizhan in his youth was instantly shattered.
Up to now, when she stood in front of him, he had long forgotten what it was like to get along with her and a little liking back then. His memory has gone blank, and what he sees now is nothing but disgust.
He said coldly, "Muhe, send your step-wife back."
Liu Fuxiang kept watching Su Zichou approaching, and clearly saw that the young man had grown into a young man, as cold as cold jade, with a clear character, he was holding a blue-glazed umbrella, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, and his face was expressionless .
She stood in the heavy snow for an hour, but she didn't feel cold yet, but at this moment, she suddenly felt cold to the marrow of her bones.
She opened her mouth, and when Muhe approached to invite her, she said, "Zi Zhan, don't blame me, if I didn't marry Lord Hou, I would have to hang myself with a rope, would you rather me Even if I die, I don’t want me to marry Lord Hou and live.”
Su Zizhan was about to enter the courtyard, but he stopped when he heard this, but he didn't turn his head.
"Is it?" Liu Fuxiang stared at his back persistently.
Su Zizhan looked at the gate of the courtyard, walked forward calmly, and uttered a word, "Yes."
Liu Fuxiang smiled miserably, "I was reluctant to die back then, it was a mistake, I have had enough of these five years, today, I will pay you back." After she finished speaking, she suddenly took out the golden hairpin, piercing through it instantly. She scratched her throat, and in an instant, blood poured out, and she fell limply on the snow.
The maidservant beside her was startled and shouted in horror, "Step-wife!"
Mu He was also startled, and blurted out, "Step-mother"
Su Zizhan turned around abruptly, and saw Liu Fuxiang lying on the ground, with a gold hairpin stuck around his neck, and blood dots on the snow in front of him, like red plum petals falling to the ground.
Maybe it's because she didn't have enough strength, she didn't die immediately, but with such strength, even if the genius doctor came, she couldn't be saved. She opened her eyes, clutched the gold hairpin, shook her hands, and looked up at Su Zizhan with her face slightly raised, with waxy lips, trying to say something.
Su Zizhan's eyes darkened.
Liu Fuxiang threw away the golden hairpin, and raised her hand to him with difficulty.
Su Zizhan paused on the spot for a moment, and finally walked towards her, stood in front of her, and said expressionlessly, "I didn't die back then, why should I die now?"
