The phoenix of the daughter's rebirth is all over the world

Chapter 371
Every year on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it will snow on his birthday.

From his memory, only he and his mother were deserted in the entire Chaoyun Pavilion, and the deaf-mute nurse who had been serving him and his mother disappeared when he was three years old.

As far as he could remember, there was a strange man wearing a mask who always came to visit him and his mother. The time to visit him and his mother was not always the same. It could be once a month or half a year, but every year he He always comes on birthdays and gives him weird things he's never seen before.

White jade fingers, wooden wind chimes, but he never let him tell his mother, let him put things away secretly.

Although he rarely had contact with the outside world, his intuition told him that the man in front of him was not a bad person.He was born with a cold personality and was not good at expressing his feelings, but he remembered that strange person's kindness to him in his heart.

During the four years in Chaoyun Pavilion, he was used to only him and his mother in the entire Chaoyun Pavilion, and he never thought about why he was born in the barren hills?Why is there no one else here except the hidden guards guarding their mother and child?Why does he only have a mother and no father?
My mother often looked at the direction of the distant imperial city in a daze, but when she was awake, she was very gentle, teaching him to read and read, and telling him what the outside world was like.

From his mother's mouth, he knew that his mother was a princess and lived in the Nine Layers Palace since birth. There were father, mother and concubine who loved her, and two emperor brothers who loved her the most in the world.

Nine layers of palaces, carved railings and painted pillars, where the wealth and honor in the world are overwhelming. Although I was born in the palace city, my mother didn't like it at all.She likes the hustle and bustle of the people, the fireworks in the world, and the palace is very big, but it is too cold.

The mother said that Chujiang is the most beautiful place she has ever been to and her favorite place. The misty rain on the Chujiang River, the green willows on the long embankment, the city full of pear blossoms, and the spring scenery of Lanxi River. It should have been her hometown, but she still couldn't stay in Chujiang River. Still have to go back to the capital.

But she wasn't sad at all. Although she couldn't be reunited with her biological parents, the father, queen, queen, and brother in the palace treated her very well. She just missed the Chujiang place very much.

When his mother told him about those past events, she had a smile on her face, very warm and warm, just like the warmth of the sun shining on her body on an April afternoon, her eyes had a kind of clarity and innocence that did not match her age, In her world, all she remembers during her few waking moments are those good memories.And those painful and unpleasant past events were selectively forgotten by her.

He was precocious, lying quietly in his mother's arms and listening to her recall those happy past events.Knowing that his mother was born in the royal family, but his biological parents are not the current Holy One, that involves a secret in the court.But, why would a beloved princess be imprisoned in such a barren hill by his uncle, whom her mother said was the emperor's brother?And who is his father?Why had he never seen them since birth?

It's not that he hasn't asked his mother. After only one question, his mother fell ill and smashed all the things that could fall in Chaoyun Pavilion. The pot of purple jade peonies that his mother loved was also swept to the ground. Chaoyun Pavilion was in a mess.

His mother squatted in the mess, crying like a child... What shocked him even more was that after one night, Chaoyun Pavilion, which was in a mess, returned to its previous appearance - the pot of purple flowers broken by his mother. The jade peony was still safely placed in its original position, and the water droplets on the petals facing the rising sun reflected colorful light.

In the early morning, which was clearly full of vitality, there was an inexplicable chill in his young heart at that moment, and he suddenly understood why his mother became like this—in this Chaoyun Pavilion, which seemed to be a paradise, there was a pair of eyes staring at her. Their every move, they live here year after year, day after day, according to that person's thoughts, trapped in this way, without freedom, unable to escape, like walking dead.

For the first time—Xiao Que had the idea of ​​taking his mother away from here.

It was not until many years later that he understood why his mother chose to jump into the sea of ​​fire, such a decisive decision.

When a person lives without any choice, death is the only way to fight against the powerful force and the way of liberation.

And the person who forced the mother to the road where only death can save her was none other than the elder brother whom the mother had said countless times and whom she respected the most.

His mother's death bought him his freedom.

Chaoyun Pavilion was burned in a big fire, and he was brought back to the Nine Layers Palace. It was also the first time he saw that Ninth Five-Year Lord—a man less than 30 years old, with a gloomy and terrifying temperament, without a trace of life.

He looked at him with gloomy eyes, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking.In that fire, many things could not be concealed. He was taken to the Palace of Compassion and Peace—seeing the eyebrows and eyes similar to his own daughter, but the queen mother who was in her 40s but already covered with silver hair held him in her arms. I can't cry myself.

His identity became the biggest secret in the palace and he was fostered in the deep palace. The old man who should be called his grandmother loved him very much, but Emperor Zhao didn't allow them to get close, and just raised him in the side hall, the deep palace. Youyou, besides him, there are dumb guards around him, just like the time in Chaoyun Pavilion - except that there is no mother around.

It's just that he has a little more freedom, as long as he escapes the surveillance of the hidden guards and sneaks out of the palace where he is, he can know a lot of things.

The hidden guards guarding him were all masters, but they never thought that a four-year-old child could slip out of his nose with such intelligence.

He knew that his mother's elder brother—not the emperor, had been enthroned as emperor four years ago.

In the past four years, he has worked diligently and encouraged the government. He is a wise monarch. In the harem, the empress is respected. There are only a few women with titles.

A month ago, the empress gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. It was supposed to be the eldest son of the emperor, but the emperor said it was the second prince. It is said that because the emperor's side concubine had given birth to a prince who died young, the empress's child was the second son. Prince.

Xiao Que remembered that the night she gave birth to the prince was the night her mother jumped into the flames.The fire devoured everything, for five years, a big dream, nothing but barrenness...

Because Emperor Zhao restricted his freedom, the Empress Dowager had a dispute with Emperor Zhao for the first time. It was when he was five years old. It was you who disregarded ethics and insisted on going your own way. How could Yu Yin rebel and how could Chaoyun die! You have imprisoned Chaoyun for five years and prevented Aijia from seeing her mother and son, and now you don’t even let Aijia’s only grandson see you !"

Too far away, Xiao Que vaguely heard them arguing like this.

King Zhao Xuan Yikun, styled Yu Yin, the rebellion of the Five Kings, the one who ended up the worst, died with thousands of arrows piercing through the heart...

At that time, he knew vaguely that the source of all tragedies seemed to be his life experience.After arriving in the palace, even the grandmother who loves him the most keeps silent about his life experience... What emerges in front of his eyes is the appearance of his mother, smiling, crying, crazy - and finally freezes into a despairing figure in the sea of ​​flames with The way he smiled, it was a smile of relief.

He wanted to know what was the reason that drove his mother to such a dead end.For that reason, even his mother never told him when she finally chose to die.It's just, how can he resist the power of the ninety-five supreme with his own strength.

The most wise man in the world, Mr. Gu Rui, the owner of Yuchen Pavilion, the person whom his mother admired when he was a young man - once, he also thought about taking his mother to escape from this palace city.

Therefore, he knelt in Yuchen Pavilion for three full days, and finally let Gu Rui accept him as his disciple.With Gu Rui's protection, he also gradually broke away from the palace.

The young man became famous, his talent was amazing, he went abroad as an envoy, and he became famous in the Eastern Continent. These were all things that man in the deep palace didn't want to see.

Everyone was silent about what happened back then, even if he became the young master of Yuchen Pavilion and followed the clues of that year, he could only find out the tip of the iceberg.

If it wasn't for the banquet in the palace that year, if it wasn't for avoiding the surrounding guards and opening the dusty palace gate, if it wasn't for seeing the dead branches of pear trees in the garden and the portraits in the secret room, it was a question that I couldn't understand before. , seems to understand overnight.

"Yu Yin admires Chaoyun alone in this life"

The small handwriting of "Chaoyun only admires seclusion in this life" is engraved in a corner of the painting. The girl in the painting stands gracefully, with innocent innocence and a smile in her eyes. Such handwriting is a section covered by many palace gates. The romantic past is hidden in the passing years.

Even though they are not brothers and sisters who are really connected by blood, how can such a secret love be tolerated in the world's gossip and in this ancient royal family with strict etiquette...

Therefore, two years later, on the day of his 15th birthday, the light in the secret room was like a bean, and he opened the box with complicated patterns. Seeing that little self is even worse than seeing that portrait two years ago.

For 15 years, even he never thought that the man who visited their mother and son as a masked man and gave him strange gifts every year on his birthday turned out to be that person...

Those who couldn't understand a lot of things already understood why my mother was so desperate at the last moment——Is there any king in the world who was confined here, and he couldn't escape his control in this life.

Among them, the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. Emperor Zhao knew that keeping him would be a threat to the tiger, but Emperor Zhao had his ambitions, and Jiangshan Sheji needed to use his talent.

The next year, in the same secret room, where the lights were like beans, he drank the cup of intestinal-piercing poison in exchange for the dark emperor's jade token.

Every time he got something, he had to pay a corresponding price, and he knew clearly that he was making a deal with Emperor Zhao.Both of them were betting whether Emperor Zhao could completely control him, or whether Xiao Que would be full-fledged under Emperor Zhao's control and out of his control!
