There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 369 Xiahou Jue's Extra Story 1
Xia Houjue was about three years old when he remembered, and he remembered that his mother always looked sad.

She smiled so rarely that he almost forgot what his mother's smile was like, but he clearly remembered her mother's sad face and crying.

At such a young age, he didn't quite understand why the empress mother was crying. The nurses in Mingming Palace were very kind, the food was delicious, and the maids and eunuchs were also very good, but why the empress mother was still unhappy and still crying?
He also secretly asked his mother, but the mother often avoided it with a smile, or said that the wind and sand blinded her eyes, or that the wind was a bit strong, which made people jealous, and she always refused to let him know that she had cried.

He believed it even at a young age, and lived his daily life as usual.

He started enlightenment after the age of three, and he has a master again. Apart from reading and reading, he also rides and shoots arrows, so he doesn't have much time to spend with his mother.

In the palace, there was a Concubine Qin who had just given birth to a younger brother who had just turned one year old. She was very cute, and her father liked him very much, as if he liked him more than herself. Concubine Qin always had a smile on her face.

But he always felt that when Qin Guifei looked at him and smiled, her eyes were always cold, as cold and sharp as the icicles hanging upside down from the corner of the house in winter.

It's just that at such a young age, he didn't take it seriously, after all, Concubine Qin is the younger brother's mother, after all, she once gave him snacks.

……

Time flies, and he is five years old in a blink of an eye. He reads well and learns archery well. The five-year-old child can draw a bow that weighs eight catties, and he is said to be the best among children of the same age. Not too much.

The father seemed very happy, he often looked at him with admiration, and even gave him all the bows, arrows and daggers he treasured.

He said: "Jue'er, you are a good boy. The emperor only gave you these things. I hope you will be better than the blue in the future. How about better than the father?"

He was very happy at such a young age, his little face flushed with excitement while holding those things.

"Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will work hard in the future." The little man patted his chest with his tiny hands.

The queen mother on the side stood smiling like a flower in the spring breeze. The three of them were immersed in the happiness that belonged only to them. No one ever noticed that there was a man in a rose red palace dress standing in a corner not far away in the shade of trees and flowers. woman.

The madam gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, fierce like a she-wolf eager to protect her cubs, she gritted her silver teeth and tore her handkerchief and still couldn't understand her hatred, only the red eyes seemed to be crying but not laughing.

"Okay, okay, you are the family, you are the empress, and your children are worthy of the blue and the blue, but what about my child? What about my Yan'er? What is he?"

The same is the emperor's child, and the mother's family is also strong. Just because she knew the emperor first, will her own child be inferior to others?

Hehe, I thought that the emperor would spoil me like that, and the queen's frowning look would not be liked by the emperor, but I didn't expect that in the emperor's heart, after all, other people are more important, and I have become the most heartless person. .

Oh, what a fool, what a fool.

Concubine Qin gave up her heart and lost her love. The knife that had been hanging in her heart fell down suddenly, and the blood dripping from her heart also stained the road to the deep palace that she was about to walk.

It was a pitch-black night, where you couldn't see your fingers, and the wind was so strong that the big trees outside the window rattled and the leaves fell to the ground miserably.

Xia Houjue was really scared to sleep alone in the side hall of Fengyang Palace, so he sneaked into the mother's harem while the nanny was dozing off.

He used to do this often, as long as his father was not around, he would sneak past, and his mother would always nod his little head lovingly, and then gently hug him to the bed, and her mother would always stay by his side, accompany him, and give him He sings ballads.

Her voice is so gentle, her singing is so sweet, as melodious and melodious as the singing of an oriole in spring, as long as he hears such singing, he will not be afraid of anything.

But this time, what did he see?
He saw a group of people pinching the queen mother to the ground. They strangled her neck desperately, as if they were going to give her something, and someone took a rope and tied her hands and feet.

His heart ached and he wanted to run forward to stop her, but the queen mother suddenly found her, and slapped him several times, meaning: "Don't come over, don't come over."

He had never seen such a queen mother before, and he was instantly frightened, his footsteps seemed to be stuck to the ground, and he couldn't move.

The former mother taught herself that you are a man, you are not allowed to cry, no matter what happens to you, you are not allowed to cry.

So he just stood stubbornly under the thick hanging tent, just watched helplessly as his mother was given the night medicine, and finally vomited blood and died.

Those people kept watching the queen mother twist and struggle in pain, and they were reluctant to leave until they confirmed that she had lost her breath.

And her queen mother, in order to prevent those people from noticing her existence, would rather die than look at her. Until she died, she kept staring at the arched beams of the roof.

After the tea was cold, he slowly got out of the hanging tent and came to the empress step by step heavily.

The empress mother's painful and ferocious face, her bleeding eyes, ears, mouth and nose, were like a ruthless and sharp knife, gouging out his heart again and again.

Gouged out his colorful childlike innocence, gouged out the smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, gouged out the star-like light in his eyes, and at the same time gouged out all the softness in his heart.

When those people left, he vaguely heard that they were going to receive the reward from Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin?Is it the Concubine Qin Gui who smiled and brought herself some snacks in front of her father?Was she going to kill her own mother?

The young Xia Houjue narrowed his eyes, and for the first time there was a cold light that didn't match his age.

That night was so long that he didn't even know where to go?Just stood there all night.

The blood around the queen mother gradually solidified, her body was so cold, her eyes were still open like that, she would rather die than look at herself.

Will she be too cold?Xia Houjue covered her with all the quilts on the bed, and sat beside her the whole time.

"Queen, I didn't cry, look at my son, I really didn't cry."

"Queen, are you not coming back anymore?"

"Queen, can I go to find my father? By the way, I will go to my father."

……

The sky was slightly chilly, and the late autumn night was still very cold, and the air was slightly frosty. At nearly five years old, he ran to his father's palace panting on his calves, but was told that his father had gone to Qin Guifei's palace.

The maids and eunuchs didn't even know what happened. Seeing him running out alone with blood on his body, they were all scared to death.
