Yipin Tianxia

It's spring now, even the night wind, it doesn't feel cold when it blows on the face, but there is a slight warmth, as if the gentle veil is caressing the gentle naughtiness on the face.

In Mu Shaoqin's study room, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus from Nianfu Xinhe was burning, which was obviously not good enough, and the fragrance was slightly mixed and bitter, just like his mood at the moment.

Su Cheng was silent for a long time, seeing that the noble man sitting upright still showed no sign of regaining his composure, he had to remind him, "My lord, do you know something?"

He was much more vigilant than Ouyang Kang. As soon as he heard about Luo Xiaoyan, he immediately realized how big or small the matter was.If Luo Xiaoyan, or in other words, there was no secret behind that piece of jade, he wouldn't have been targeted so quickly.

It would be troublesome if Luo Xiaoyan was a child of a former court official's family, or a relative of the emperor, so he came here at night to ask Mu Shaoqin for advice.He was born in a wealthy family in the capital, so it's hard to say what he knows.Now it seems that he has found the right person.

Mu Shaoqin came back to his senses quickly, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face, before he paused, he said, "This piece of green peony in golden land was originally an old item from my family."

ah?Nianfu opened his mouth wide, that piece of green chrysanthemum jade with yellow background is his own?Doesn't that mean—

"Luo Xiaoyan is a child of our family? Then..."

Nianfu was a little excited, and the glance with Ouyang Kang was full of surprises.

But Mu Shaoqin waved his hand, "The jade belongs to our family, but the person is not necessarily. After all, the piece of jade has been lost for a long time, and the words of those few people can't prove anything. When the war broke out, our family With so many things lost, it’s impossible to pick one and say it’s the Mu family. Besides, the Mu family were all taken into the palace back then, how could there be a child living among the people?”

Nianfu felt cold, yes, Luo Xiaoyan is only a little over six years old this year, almost as old as the Liang Dynasty, if he is the Mu family, who was born?

But Ouyang Kang immediately had a new question, "If he is not a descendant of the Mu family, how did he get this piece of jade? Luo Wu and his older children have all seen that piece of jade. Besides, it is so valuable, I think Although there are many emeralds in this world, they are rare, right? Can you say that Luo Xiaoyan is actually related to the Mu family?"

Mu Shaoqin nodded, "There is some truth in what you said, and I think so too. How about it. You send the child to me immediately, and I will arrange it."

Ouyang Kang hesitated for a moment, and read a blessing, "Father, this is inappropriate. Xiaoyan grew up with Luo Wu and the others, and has a very deep relationship. He will not be used to bringing him here suddenly."

Mu Shaoqin said in a solemn tone that was rarely seen. "Not getting used to it or not wanting to die, which one do you think is more important?"

While reciting the blessing, Su Cheng keenly sensed something from Mu Shaoqin's strange expression that flashed by just now, and said, "My lord is right, now only someone mentioned a piece of jade, and there are two people Missing for no reason. If Luo Xiaoyan is placed in Poyuan again, what if someone plots against him? Let the prince arrange it."

Mu Shaoqin nodded slightly. "Then please don't worry, sir. This matter must be done thoroughly, and I will send a team of guards back with you."

This... Nianfu and Ouyang Kang looked at each other, speechless.

Su Cheng left immediately, and after a short time, he sent Luo Xiaoyan here on the grounds of illness.

The little boy faced all this silently and anxiously, at a loss for what to do. Mu Shaoqin gently stretched out his hand to him, "Don't be afraid, child, come here."

Luo Xiaoyan walked forward slowly, until Mu Shaoqin reached out to caress his small face and groped his facial features.

After a long time, Mu Shaoqin patted the little boy's head lovingly, "It's okay, go play with your sister Nianfu."

Luo Xiaoyan smiled reassuringly, and patted his hand back in a sensible way, before walking to Nianfu's side.

It was getting late, and Nianfu couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, so he took Luo Xiaoyan back to his small courtyard and settled down, and specially called Wangcai to accompany him.

It was night, and I didn't sleep well after chanting blessings. I always felt that my father had something to say, but Mu Shaoqin didn't sleep all night.

At dawn the next day, he came to find his daughter, as if he had made some decision.But standing in front of the courtyard, hearing the innocent laughter of the little boy playing with Wangcai, he hesitated again.

"Father." Nianfu, who had only half combed his hair, couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled Mu Shaoqin in, told all the servants to go out, and closed the door to talk to him.

"What the hell do you know? What are you embarrassing? No matter who Luo Xiaoyan is, I will always be your biological daughter, right? Is there anything you can't tell me that you have to carry alone? Don't blame your daughter for saying something. If it sounds bad, if something really happens, can you still run away from me?"

Mu Shaoqin was speechless, and after a long time he sighed heavily, "Father really doesn't know what to do about this matter. Luo Xiaoyan, he... Sigh!"

Nianfu was anxious, "I beg you, Dad, just tell me quickly, even if he was transformed by a monster, I will recognize him, okay?"

If he turned into a monster, Mu Shaoqin wouldn't be so worried.After being in trouble for a long time, he finally made up his mind to speak, "Do you know how many people are buried in Mu's Cemetery on the outskirts of the city?"

Know.As a descendant of the Mu family, the first thing Nianfu did after recognizing his ancestors was to pay homage to the ancestors of the Mu family and remember that painful history.

"380. This is not counting the loyal servants who died with the Mu family. If you add them, it will be thousands."

Mu Shaoqin lowered his eyes, showing a trace of sadness, "But among the 380 nine people, there is only one missing."

Nianfu was stunned, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility, "What Dad said is..."

That Miss Mu San who brought disaster to the country and the people and overturned the world?

Mu Shaoqin looked at the unknown distance quite disturbedly, with a low and mournful voice, "Everyone says our daughter of the Mu family is a beauty, but your third sister is really a very good person. You don't know, The night before she entered the palace, she went to find her mother herself and asked for a bowl of Juezi soup."

Nianfu's face paled slightly, Juezitang?

"That day, because I was young, I hid behind the screen and no one noticed. I just watched with my own eyes... My mother was crying, and my sister-in-law was crying, but your third sister, she drank the bowl of soup with a smile , and said. It's not bitter at all..."

Mu Shaoqin, who was caught in the memories, had tears in his eyes, and the circles around Nianfu's eyes were also red.

A girl, at the age of her prime, cut off all possibilities of being a mother with her own hands.If she is a disaster, then who is the person who forced her to enter the palace?

Seeing her father still clearly remember that scene after so many years, it shows the pain at that time.

Mu Shaoqin gritted his teeth, and continued with resentment, "When Emperor Zhou Cheng welcomed her into the palace, she was already a grandfather, but your third sister, she is only sixteen. She has been with Emperor Zhou Cheng for seven years. , the emperor passed away. At that time, according to the rules in the palace, concubines without heirs had to either be buried or become a monk. I was a little older and began to understand, knowing that my family was secretly planning to take advantage of her funeral or When she became a monk, rescued her from the fire pit. But what no one expected was that the new emperor. The new emperor directly announced that she was dead!"

Mu Shaoqin let out a long breath of air in his chest before he could continue. "You have learned the rules from Zhao Shanggong these days. Have you ever heard of a king who killed his eldest son, but was replaced by his second son, and frightened to death?"

Nianfu's eyes widened suddenly, of course she knew!This is so famous, the king gave birth to the eldest son after occupying his concubine.Could it be that.The third lady of the Mu family also suffered the same tragedy?

Mu Shaoqin evoked a lot of sarcasm, "The successor Emperor Xuan of Zhou is a short-lived ghost. He ascended the throne for only one year and three months, but he caused anger and resentment, and finally died suddenly, allowing Emperor Ai to succeed him. However, before he died, But he did the worst thing, that is, he ordered us to force our Mu family to fight against the enemy, and later took our whole family into the palace!"

He slammed the table down heavily, making a dull sound, which shocked even chanting blessings.

"At that time, it was your third sister who spread the news from the palace, and a few Mu family children and I were able to escape. But I didn't know until I was arrested and entered the palace..."

Mu Shaoqin couldn't continue talking, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions after reading his blessing.The result was so tragic, she couldn't imagine how a woman endured all this.

Mu Shaoqin waited for himself to calm down before saying, "Your third sister was born in September when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and her nickname was Aju. The golden green peony was originally a birthday gift from someone else. When I was young, But seeing that she likes it, I gave it to her. What I don’t know is that the third sister cherished it and kept it with me. Later, I was seriously ill several times in the palace, and I almost couldn’t survive. It was Shaoqin who gave me the medicine from the Tai Hospital Come. There will always be a small packet of chrysanthemum rock sugar in the medicine."

Nianfu tightly covered his mouth, but tears fell silently.

She seemed to see the bitter figure of a weak woman struggling to survive in the sinister and dirty court. She endured humiliation like that, but she just wanted to earn a living for her family, right?

Two lines of tears also fell from the corners of Mu Shaoqin's eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs, "But after the world is settled, I have no way to erect a monument for her, even in the Mu family cemetery, I can't even set up a tomb for her !"

"Then she..."

There was a glimmer of hope suddenly after reading Fu, but Mu Shaoqin's subsequent words mercilessly cut off her thoughts, "She is dead. After Emperor Ai ordered Jiu to kill our whole family, many palace people saw that she took the poison herself and sat down. He rowed to the center of the lake with a small boat, detonated the explosives, and there were no bones left."

Nianfu turned his head sadly, and couldn't help sobbing softly any longer.

Such an intelligent woman must know how unfairly she will be treated after death, so she will be annihilated in this world in this decisive way.

But Luo Xiaoyan, how could Luo Xiaoyan have that piece of jade?

Mu Shaoqin didn't know either. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Miss Mu San to have a child, so whose child was he?How could she bring her jade?

But there is one thing Mu Shaoqin can be sure of, "If what Luo Wu and those children saw is correct, then Luo Xiaoyan should be a child from the palace."

Nianfu's face suddenly changed, what does this mean for a child in the former palace?

Mu Shaoqin hesitated for a while, but still told his daughter softly, "Aju used to be very good at distinguishing smells. In the past, her mother often laughed at her. She is obviously a daughter, but she has an emperor's tongue."

Then... Nianfu was also dumbfounded.
