Qingchuan History

Chapter 155 Jade Broken Tiles ([-])

"Also like her mother." As if she was just saying it casually, she looked at Gu Xinglang again: "Other than that, I'm all like Shangguan Shuo. That's why they insisted on making me wear a mask. The world rarely sees Mrs. Xiangguo But he is familiar with Master Xiangguo's appearance, especially the royal family of the Gu family. If Mrs. Jin doesn't come, no one will think in this direction; once she comes, there will definitely be occasions where I and her will appear at the same time, and then it will be impossible to guarantee."

Ruan Xueyin took a breath: "So, you are the sister of the same father and mother of Shangguan's concubine. Mr. and Mrs. Shangguan sent you to Qi State when you were four years old to prepare for entering the palace?"

Such a long-term plan, my own daughter!

"Is it worse than when you entered Pengxi Mountain at the age of four? From this point of view, His Majesty Yin is not such a bad father, is he?" She smiled brightly again, but her eyes were red, "Such parents, to me , It’s not dead or something. They really only have one daughter, and it’s Shangguan, not me.”

Shen Dingru, Gu Xinglang, was also a little moved at this moment: "But you didn't hate them at first. For so many years, you hibernated in Qi Palace, kept sending messages back to Cangwu from Jidu, and even attacked me in July. So the question remains, why?"

Ah Ji said nothing, and turned to look at the tall but decaying palace gate behind her.The door was closed tightly, and only the faint light of the sky could be seen.Because it was a cloudy day, the light was also blue-gray that day, without any warmth.

"What day is it today?"

Ruan Xueyin glanced at Gu Xinglang, turned around and replied, "October 27."

"It's already 27." She stared at the unreal skylight, her expression became distant, "It is said that the autumn color of Cangwu is like Qingchuan, like the autumn color of mountains. I can't remember what autumn is like in Cangwu. .Like a mountain, it seems that I have never been there before.”

She withdrew her gaze, turned around, and only stared at the ground:

"I don't want to hate them. For the whole 18 years, I reminded myself every day that this is for the family and the country. He always told me that in so many letters, no one can always believe in it for more than ten years, except blood Connected, close relatives. There is only one son in the Shangguan family, so naturally he has to inherit the family business. Auntie is young, so at that time, I can only send it to me."

Even when she was kneeling before, she kept her back straight, but now she seemed to be completely unable to hold on, and she suddenly fell to her knees and sat on the ground as if she had fallen apart.The icy ground of the Lenggong Palace in autumn doesn't seem to be cold to her.

"He said that the Shangguan family has been under the protection of the Murong family for hundreds of years, and they made a solemn oath as early as their great-grandfather to assist the Murong royal family in unifying Qingchuan. As the daughter of the Shangguan family, I have a duty to serve the country and the family. He said that they have never treated one more favorably than another, When my sister grows up, I will also contribute to this. They didn't lie to me. After 18 years, my sister finally came to Qi Palace."

"Sisters reunited, relatives reunited, you could have done a lot." Gu Xinglang looked at her, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, "What kind of trouble is this?"

18 years of sharpening a sword, what exactly is it, let this sword be broken as soon as it is said.

"The original plan was that when Auntie gained a firm foothold and Chunfeng should get married, I would follow her out of the palace and return to Cangwu. The rest would be handed over to Auntie. Half of my life and hers would be dedicated to each other. Home country is also considered fair."

"As a result, your father repented?"

Ah Ji slightly raised her drooping eyelids, and her tone became more lazy:

"If the fake imperial order is not discovered, I may never know. To him, I have always been just a chess piece. And all chess pieces are ultimately discarded pieces."

She glanced at Ruan Xueyin: "If you really don't help the Yin country, I'm lucky for you. It is the men who fight for the world in troubled times, and they are the ones who finally achieve hegemony and go down in history. Why should they sacrifice their daughters? These people know that there will be wars and bloodshed, but they still send their daughters away. The so-called important weapons of the country that go into the tiger's den and ruin their lives for nothing are all in vain as parents!"

"You have hope for him, that's why you're disappointed." Ruan Xueyin's heart was calm, as if the other party's warning had nothing to do with her at the moment, "But you still didn't say, why are you disappointed."

"After my accident, my concubine should come and beg your majesty."

Gu Xinglang confirmed it with his expression.

"Actually, for me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go out of the palace. Even Chunfeng doesn't need to explain it." She paused, "Chunfeng doesn't know, so naturally he will go to war and beg you not to expel me. The palace really knows In fact, the only people I was looking forward to leaving the palace were Auntie and Xiwu beside her. Chunfeng didn't ask her for help, but she took the initiative to make a statement, what do you think is the reason?"

Ruan Xueyin's heart moved slightly: "She doesn't want you to go?"

Ah Xie sneered: "If she and I grew up with each other, I can still lie to myself. She is reluctant to part with me as a biological sister and does not want to stay in a foreign country alone. It is a pity that she has the same temperament as Chunfeng. For a person who can't hide his true heart, the first time we met after she entered the palace, I knew that in her eyes, I was really a maidservant of Qi Palace, and even meeting alone was inferior to her wait."

She lowered her head, turned her hands over and looked carefully: "Her hands are so smooth, they are the hands of Miss Jin Zunyugui from an aristocratic family. But what about me? My adoptive parents are both dutiful small businessmen, and their family background is really not good. It's quite generous; in order to completely cut off the possibility of my background being found out, Shangguan Shuo has left Cangwuqi since he left Cangwuqi, and has never had any contact with us again. He only guarantees a correspondence report every few months, and it is still a fake hand. Naturally, also They will not support our family."

She rubbed the short and blunt transparent fingernails on her fingers, and continued: "As your majesty knows, in the first two years of entering Qi Palace, I worked as odd jobs in the Imperial Catering Department. Although I didn't do heavy work, I did real work after all. I was 13 years old at the Linghua Palace, and I had to work at the beginning. Later, Mrs. Dingzhen took a fancy to me and asked me to take care of Chunfeng, and things got better. Sometimes when I waited for Chunfeng to take a bath, I would think, Even things like bathing have to be taken care of by someone, a daughter of a princess family is really precious." She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ruan Xueyin:
"But I was originally a daughter of an aristocratic family. Originally, I was also the one who was immersed in the warm water of those petals and served. My hands could have been as smooth and tender as Auntie. Everything I have learned in life, including the ones I see now The habit of people wanting to bend their knees and kneel should not belong to me! Mrs. Pei, although you were sent away by your father since you were young, you are at least learning skills. Maid! And me! Auntie and I have exactly the same background, even I am the eldest daughter of Dawei Xiangguo's mansion, but the way she looks at me and the way she talks to me—"

She sneered again: "She has never regarded me as a sister. I am indeed just a palace servant."

"Even so, you still haven't turned your back on the Shangguan family. It has been more than half a year since she entered the palace. If it was because of this, you would not have been able to wait until today."
