Strange Tale of Qingluan

Baoqin replied with a smile: "My father is the former prime minister, you also know that. The prime minister has heard a little about the important events in the palace, and I have been performing arts in the folk for many years, and I have inquired about the news from many sources."

Yu Jia was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with my background?"

Baoqin said: "If you combine what you heard with what you found out, you will know a person's identity in detail."

Yu Jia blurted out bluntly: "Okay, I don't want to hear how you know my identity, I just want to hear what my background is like? Who are my biological parents?"

Before Bao Qin opened his lips, Su Zhongming interrupted and asked, "Yu Jia, do you really want to know?"

Yu Jia nodded, "Yeah!"

Nanny Lin felt that something was wrong, so while the truth was still hidden in Su Zhongming's stomach, she suddenly knelt down on the ground in front of Su Zhongming, and begged: "Mr. Su! I beg you, old slave! You must not let this happen! If you say so, it will be bad for Yu Jia! Old slave... I beg you, old slave!" After saying that, he kowtowed seriously, and his forehead touched the ground neatly.

Su Zhongming said calmly: "Nurse Lin, I can't bear others to kowtow to me, and I will always agree to kowtow to me, but only Yujia's life experience, I have to say, I can get the bargaining chip only after I say so. "

Nanny Lin widened her eyes and became even more panicked. She raised her head and hurriedly said, "Master Su...!"

Baoqin stood up, stepped forward, and helped her up gently, while persuading her: "Nurse Lin, in fact, it's you who are worrying too much. It would be good if Yujia knew about her life experience."

Nanny Lin blurted out: "Miss Baoqin. You knew it before but didn't tell it. You must also know that it won't benefit Yujia."

Bao Qin said bluntly: "No, I want to say it too, but I'm afraid that if I say it too early, Yu Jia won't be able to bear it."

Nanny Lin was stunned for a moment, and having nothing to say, she just sighed, and then said: "You...why do you have to let Yujia know his life experience...?"

After hearing this for a while, Yu Jia knew that Nanny Lin had deliberately concealed her life experience, so she couldn't help interjecting and begged: "Mommy, you always told me that you picked me up from the barren courtyard back then, but in fact you always You know my life experience and who my parents are, don't you? Mother! Just let me know my life experience!"

Nanny Lin was anxious, and hurriedly replied: "Silly boy! Nanny kept it a secret because she was afraid that something would happen to you..."

Baoqin said bluntly: "Actually, I didn't say it because I was worried about it. But the cause is important, so I have to say it."

Nanny Lin glanced at Baoqin, then at Su Zhongming, and said helplessly, "What are you planning to let this child know about his life experience?"

Baoqin said bluntly: "For the freedom of the young master, but also for the official career of my family. Besides, the current new king has no royal blood at all."

Nanny Lin was startled: "Didn't you say 'is a distant relative of the royal family'..."

Baoqin smiled slightly: "The new king and the young master have known each other for a long time, and the young master also knows the origin of the new king. It is absolutely not nonsense. Besides, even if the queen mother and the new king form a mother-child relationship, but the blood does not mix, it will inevitably be resented by the people." .”

Sister Lin sighed helplessly.

Bao Qin looked at Yu Jia who was looking for knowledge, and continued: "Although the new king and the queen mother are not related by blood, they are also related to Yu Jia. After all, they are of the same father."

Yu Jia's heart trembled, and she blurted out: "Half father... You mean, I... Your Majesty and I are... brothers? My father is also his father? Then my mother...?"

Su Zhongming said sonorously: "It is the current Queen Mother Taoxia!"

With a plop, Yu Jia fell to the ground with her words, her eyes stared straight.

Seeing this, Baoqin wanted to approach Yujia to persuade her, but Su Zhongming stood up and raised his left hand, signaling her to back down, then stood on one knee beside Yujia, and asked, "Yujia thinks, is family affection more important or royal power?" Is it important? Is the past important or the succession to the throne important?"

The pain made Yujia almost cry, and she replied, "This...is there any difference between these..."

Su Zhongming raised his left hand, put it on Yu Jia's shoulder, and said calmly: "I know you are very sad about Lou Linrou's abandonment of you. You may resent her very much, but if you only resent and don't know how to take it back, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Yu Jia cried, "I don't regret it! She abandoned me, why should I regret..."

Su Zhongming shook his head lightly, and said: "It is not family affection that is to be snatched, but the throne, and royal power." He stretched out his right hand and clenched it tightly: "If you are late, you will never get back the royal power."

Yu Jia was stunned: "The throne... the kingship..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Zhongming hurriedly said: "You have snatched back the throne, Yu Jia is the owner of this palace, you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, and the people of Taoxia Kingdom will listen to you, and you won't have to use it anymore." Being scolded, you don’t have to worry about being beaten, it’s better than being a gardener, isn’t it.”

After hearing these words, the desire deep in Yujia's heart couldn't help but move, as if it wanted to overwhelm the grief just now.Looking up, Yu Jia asked, "But... But, how can I... regain my throne?"

Su Zhongming smiled: "This is the purpose of my coming to tell you about my life experience today. Cooperate with us, and we will discuss big plans together. Before the matter is completed, this matter cannot be publicized."

Yu Jia nodded.

Su Zhongming helped him up, and said to Nanny Lin: "Mommy should keep her mouth shut about what happened today, as if nothing happened, and live her life as usual. After things are done, Nanny can spend her old age in glory and wealth."

When Mother Lin heard this, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed: "Hey! This old slave knows!"

"I'll come back in a few days. During this time, if Yu Jia meets the Queen Mother, don't take the risk of meeting her. Everything depends on Baoqin and I's arrangement." Su Zhongming left a warning and said goodbye.

Yu Jia nodded again.

Nanny Lin said: "Master Su, I will take you outside the door." After saying that, she followed behind Baoqin.

On the way back to Yimengzhai, there was another long silence.

At some point, Baoqin opened her lips: "Yujia really... will there be no problem? I'm always a little worried."

Su Zhongming replied: "I can see his desire for those things from his eyes, don't worry."

Bao Qin lowered her eyes, even though she had heard these kind words of comfort, but before the matter was completed, she still had worries in her heart.

After walking for a while, at a fork, Su Zhongming stopped suddenly and said, "I want to go to the library to find some books to read, so I won't go back yet."

At this time, the snowflakes were still falling, Baoqin handed the umbrella to Su Zhongming without saying a word.

Su Zhongming didn't take the umbrella handle, just said: "I'm not in the way, you can take it back." After saying that, he walked into the snow and braved the snow to go to the left road.

Baoqin had no choice but to hold an umbrella and continue to move forward.

Su Zhongming came to Wanjuan Pavilion alone, gently pushed open the door, stepped in, patted the snowflakes on his shoulders, and climbed the stairs.At this time, the place was quiet, as if there was no one else but him, and he thought so too.

He was not at all afraid of the coldness and silence in this building, and he was not afraid of any ghosts appearing in such an atmosphere. He calmly stepped into the second floor, and slowly browsed among the tall bookshelves in the slightly dim space. between.

There used to be such a collection of books in Dingxuehou's mansion - after such a long time, Su Zhongming still remembers it very clearly, not only that, even the things that happened in that place are still fresh in his memory.Therefore, although Wanjuan Pavilion is an unfamiliar place, he feels a little familiar.

He picked up a book with a very interesting name, flipped through the pages casually, felt that it was not ideal, then stuffed it back into the distance, continued to look at the next book, and walked past two or three bookshelves along the way.

Until, when a book in front of him was pulled out from the bookshelf in front of him, an accident happened suddenly.In the vacated gap, half a human face suddenly appeared, and that eye was also radiant, staring straight at him, which shocked him a lot. The moment he saw it, he hurriedly stepped back and leaned against him The bookshelf, and then ran away in a hurry.

As he was running, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him, approaching him.It's not that he encountered a ghost, but that he didn't expect to meet Lou Tianying in this place by chance.

The man walked very steadily, and when he was about to catch up, he stretched out his long arms, and Kong Wu grabbed Su Zhongming's collar forcefully. Su Zhongming ran half a circle in this space and still fell into the tiger's mouth, and immediately struggled.

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

"What you saw was a human and not a ghost, why are you running?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of ghosts! I've always known that people don't do dark things, and I don't have to be afraid of any ghosts! But when I meet you, of course I will run away!"

"This is only a small part of the palace. If you can get here, can you get out of the palace!"

Lou Tian responded to the words, let go, and sloughed him off again, sloughing him to the ground.

Su Zhongming quickly turned over, but just slightly raised his upper body, he met Lou Tianying's approaching face, and his chin was pinched by Lou Tianying's fingers.

"Run, run, see where you can get!"

Su Zhongming secretly gritted his teeth and stared at Lou Tianying, then raised his hand and swung Lou Tianying's hand away vigorously, and immediately punched Lou Tianying's brow bone, and quickly got up while Lou Tianying was covering the pain.

Originally, he could run away immediately, but after punching him, he felt that he couldn't beat Yin, so he raised his foot and tried to kick Lou Tianying down, but Lou Tian should have a foundation in martial arts, so he was able to stop right away. took off his boots.

He pushed his leg hard, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.And Lou Tianying didn't waste a single bit of time, pulling his feet hard, knocking him to the ground in an instant.

The buttocks hit the ground directly, Su Zhongming suffered a bit of pain, gritted his teeth and got up, earnestly swung his whole body towards Lou Tianying, and started a real fight.Lou Tianying couldn't hold his breath at all, after being beaten several times by him, he became furious and confronted him with fists and kicks, the atmosphere in Wanjuan Pavilion became chaotic, the two wrestled together, bumped into each other several times The second bookshelf, and the bookshelf couldn't bear it, or it was shifted or overturned, and the dust that couldn't be cleaned usually burst out, flying all over the room.

The abnormal movement in the Wanjuan Pavilion was spread like wind, and the waiters and maids on duty in the palace knew about it. One spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, and hundreds spread to thousands.

"Have you heard? There is a fight at Wanjuan Pavilion!"

"Who is fighting there?!"

"Who knows this, I just heard about it, and I'll know it when I go there!"

……

In just three cups of tea, many people from the palace gathered outside the Wanjuan Pavilion. The so-called crowds of people are exactly this scene.

Everyone talked about a cup of tea, but no one dared to bear the brunt of going upstairs to check the situation.

An old eunuch couldn't hold back anymore, stood up and shouted: "Don't make noise! ​​Who of you will go up with our house to have a look?"

The people in the palace looked at each other, but no one said anything, they were all afraid of causing trouble.

The old eunuch had no choice but to order two at random: "You! And you! Follow our house upstairs to have a look!"

The people in the palace who were pointed out had no choice but to stand up and enter the Wanjuan Pavilion with the old eunuch, but just stepped on four steps, they could clearly hear the sound of crackling and clanging from upstairs, and the dust also fell down down.

The old eunuch felt the flying dust covering his face, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his cuff, and waved the dust in the air with his other hand, and the palace people behind him did the same.

But no matter how thick the dust was, it couldn't stop them from seeking knowledge. They still moved forward, not missing a step, and stepped into the second floor, but what they saw was an indescribable mess and two fallen figures facing each other.

Seeing this, the old eunuch hurriedly led the palace people to the place where the two figures fell just now, regardless of the mess under his feet. With the faint sunlight, he recognized the first face was Su Zhongming, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"Ah? The king... How could the queen..." Before he could finish speaking, the old eunuch heard the exclamation of the people in the palace behind him.

"Your Majesty! This, the wound on this face, who is so bold..." The young eunuch was not very worried.

Hearing the words, Su Zhongming snorted coldly in his heart, then propped up his upper body, and blurted out: "So what if I beat you! Do you want to punish me? Okay!"

When the old eunuch heard this voice, he couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

One of the maids in the middle was puzzled and said, "This...what the hell is going on? Could it be that His Majesty and the Queen started a fight? The fight broke out not long after the wedding, and the folks said..."

Lou Tianying was supported by the eunuch to stand up and questioned, "What did you say?"

Gong'e shrank her head in fear, but she had to say it, so she could only continue hesitatingly: "You get into a fight soon after you get married. People say that it's not... unlucky... easy... Husband... the fate of husband and wife..."

Lou Tianying couldn't help being furious: "It's nonsense!! Gu is the sky of Taoxia Kingdom! How can a mere folk rumor be able to resist Gu's Wang Wei?"
