The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 577 Life Experience (Part 1)

Gu Jiao took back the fire folder, and slowly came to Huangfuxian's side.

Huangfuxian seemed to be sitting here peacefully at this time, but he didn't know that he had gone through a thrilling rescue before that. His stump was already injured, and it was soaked in river water again, and the wound appeared to fester in a large area.

Jing Kong said that he slept for two days, because Jing Kong only saw him sleep for the two days since he moved here, and before that, it took three days to rescue him in the hospital and wait for him to pass the dangerous period.

"Does it still hurt?" Gu Jiao asked, "Your wound."

Huangfuxian paused, wanted to say it didn't hurt, hesitated for a while and said truthfully: "A little bit."

There is a slight choked nasal sound.

Gu Jiao pretended not to hear it: "Let me see."

It was dark now, and there was no lamp in the room, so she couldn't see anything.

Huangfuxian did not refuse.

Gu Jiao lifted up his trouser legs.

Huangfuxian was not used to it, but he still tried his best to hold back.

I can't see it anyway.

he thought so.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao directly took out a small flashlight that came with the small medicine box from her pocket, and pressed it open with a bang.

Huangfuxian's complexion changed: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to light the lamp?"

Gu Jiao said: "This is not an oil lamp, it's a flashlight. I call it - turn on the flashlight."

Huangfuxian: "..."

Huangfuxian wanted to say that you were cheating, and then he was attracted by that little thing that can emit light.

"Where is this night pearl?"

The glowing things that Huangfuxian has seen are night pearls except for fire, but they are not so bright.

"Want to know?" Gu Jiao asked.

"I don't want to." Huangfu Xian turned his face stubbornly.

Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips, squatted down on one knee, played the flashlight with one hand, and untied his gauze with the other.

Huangfuxian suddenly grabbed her hand, held his breath and said, "It's ugly!"

Gu Jiao raised her eyes, and looked into his eyes fixedly. Her eyes were the same as Xiao Jingkong's, pure, clean, without a trace of disgust.

It's just that compared to Xiao Jingkong's childlike innocence, her eyes are more convincingly calm.

Huangfuxian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly let go of his hand.

Gu Jiao unwrapped the gauze layer by layer,

The wound that was stitched up by her was exposed.

"It's healing well, and there's no postoperative infection, but you still need to take the medicine on time." After Gu Jiao finished speaking, she went back to the east room to get a small medicine box, and changed his medicine carefully. I won't give you painkillers."

"En." Huangfu Xian replied sullenly.

After Gu Jiao finished bandaging him, she began to clean up the medical consumables.

"How's that little fat guy?"

Huangfuxian suddenly spoke.

Gu Jiao said: "You mean Qin Chuyu? He has returned to the palace, and Lian'er is also in the palace. The queen has something to ask her, so she won't make things difficult for her."

What happened that night was dangerous and dangerous. After she and Huangfuxian fell into the water, she plunged her dagger into a stone in the middle of the river.

Long Yi beat those black-clothed men with a few tricks, and flew down to catch her and Huangfuxian up.

Afterwards, they returned to the capital together.

Huangfuxian turned his head, his eyes fell on her chin, just now she was squatting down, he didn't see her, but now she stood up, the stitch wound was exposed in Huangfuxian's sight.

Huangfuxian was stunned: "Your chin..."

Gu Jiao said indifferently, "Scratched it."

The wound was on the inner side of the chin, and it was very obscure. Huangfuxian had sharp eyes, otherwise he would not be able to see it.

Huangfuxian lowered his eyes, pinched his trouser legs with his fingertips: "Did you knock it underwater?"

Gu Jiao responded lightly: "Yes."

At night, the water splash was so big that it was hard to see clearly, it was only after scratching Gu Jiao's chin that she realized that there was a rock there.

Huangfu Xian said: "For someone like me, it's not worth it."

Gu Jiao didn't speak, and continued to work on the task at hand.

The room was very quiet, but the sound of human fireworks could be heard from the next door and the front yard from time to time, Xiao Ba was gnawing on Gu Yan's shoes again, Xiao Jiu was with him, and the other seven chickens returned to their cages obediently.

Uncle Zhao next door is yelling at his youngest son, Aunt Liu in the alley is chasing geese, and Grandma Zhou's house fried stinky mandarin fish again, and the stench has come here.

Huangfuxian once again looked at Gu Jiao's busy figure, for some reason, a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

"She was very nice to me when I was a kid."

When Gu Jiao finished packing up everything, Huangfuxian said again, "Always take me out to play, give me good food, and she will carry me on her back when she goes to help the victims. The thing I have done the most in my memory is lying On her back, serving gruel and herding sheep with her."

"Is your life in the frontier fortress all that hard?" Gu Jiao has been to the frontier fortress, so she naturally knows that the people in the frontier fortress are suffering very much, and she also heard that Princess Ning'an has no royal burden, and endures hardships with the people.

But isn't Ning An's true face exposed? It can't help but make people suspect that those so-called hardships are just for show.

"I don't feel bitter." Huangfuxian said.

"That's right." Gu Jiao said.

When he was so poor in the countryside, Jing Kong never disliked the hardships at home.

Sometimes what children want is actually very simple.

Huangfuxian looked at the dark and boundless night: "But then everything changed."

Gu Jiao looked over at him.

Huangfuxian stared closely at the brightest star in the night sky, as if remembering some distant memory: "Since my leg was broken, she seems to have changed, she has become afraid Come closer to me, no longer like to carry me, hug me like before, and no longer let me sleep with her. She said that she was afraid of pressing on my wound."

"I was only five years old at the time. I didn't understand. As I grew up, I realized that she was not afraid, but disgusted. She hated my broken body. She hated that I could no longer be a normal child. She didn't even want to Stay with me."

"Every time I grind my bones, I hope she can be by my side. She doesn't have to hug me, she just needs to hold my hand."

"But she didn't."

Not once.

Gu Jiao seems to understand that Huangfuxian's dislike of him is largely due to the dislike of his parents, especially Princess Ning'an. It destroyed all his self-esteem and self-confidence. Compared with taking away his legs, Ning'an It was Ann's violence of all kinds that really devastated him.

Why doesn't his mother love him?

Is it because he has no legs?

So what is the meaning of his life?

Gu Jiao looked at him and said, "She treats you like this, do you still feel sorry for her?"

Huangfuxian was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "...she is my mother."

...

In the dark prison, the Empress Dowager Zhuang stood calmly in the corridor, not taking a step closer.

Eunuch Qin had already taken the servants elsewhere, leaving only a few confidantes to guard them.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "Tell me, when did you become Ning An?"

Most people in the world can't tear off face, can't pierce that layer of window paper, but Queen Mother Zhuang is not like this.

She didn't have an iota of indecision.

If she wanted to say it, she said it straight to the point.

Ning An lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang with a half-smile: "I am Ning An, Empress Mother!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly: "The matter is imminent, and you still don't admit it!"

Ning An looked surprised and said: "What do I have to admit? I am Ning An! Ning An is me! Is the queen mother confused? She doesn't even remember the daughter she raised? If the mother changed her mind, she just said it doesn't hurt. Now that Ning An is here, just say it, why use this method to humiliate Ning An!"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang was not provoked by her, but just looked down at her, as if she was watching the last struggle of an ant.

Under the watchful eyes of Empress Dowager Zhuang, Ning An laughed sullenly, his shoulders trembling from laughing: "Mother, your ability to frame people has not changed at all! That's how you framed my mother and concubine back then, and now you are here again Plant me!"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't argue with her, so she just let her laugh wildly and talk to herself.

Every punch of Ning An seemed to hit the cotton. She grabbed the wooden board of the cell and squeezed her cheek tightly between the gaps of the wooden board. "The queen mother said that I am not Ning An. Is there any evidence? The queen mother looked at my face." , isn't it Ning An's face?"

Snapped!

Empress Dowager Zhuang threw a stack of letters on the aisle in front of Ning An.

Ning An looked down, slowly stretched out his hand, took the letter in through the crack of the cell door, and read it carefully under the dim light of the fire in the corridor.

Every time she read a page, her complexion changed, and halfway through, she suddenly tore up the letter like crazy!

"Nonsense! Nonsense! It's all nonsense!"

"I'm Ning An!"

"I am Ning An!"

She was so emotional that the veins on her forehead popped out.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at her, and said calmly: "Well, why don't Aijia tell you a story. Where do you start? Why not start with the experience of a daughter of a family. Smart, courageous, and good-looking, but her biological mother was not favored, and she was repeatedly squeezed out by concubine sisters at home. On the way to the temple to offer incense, she ran into an expert. Gao She and I hit it off right away, and after a few exchanges, the two became close friends. After a year of contact, this expert successfully persuaded his best friend to join a non-governmental organization called the Red Lotus Society."

"The Red Lotus Society is actually another identity of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and this daughter has become a dead soldier of the remnants of the previous dynasty without accident. She was ordered to be drafted into the palace to approach the emperor. Her original purpose should be to become a queen or the most holy The favorite concubine of my heart, gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, supported him as the crown prince, and then took the emperor's life, so that the country fell into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. She neither became a queen nor a favorite concubine. Even, the emperor didn't like her very much. She could only hug the queen's thigh tightly. The queen lost a daughter. It was a coincidence that she was pregnant. The month of the queen was only one month later than the queen, so she had a plan and secretly prepared oxytocin, so that the child was born prematurely, and the child was born on the same day as the queen."

"But what no one knows is that there is... another child in her belly. It was only an hour later, but it was born two days before and after."

"Two children never cry together. If the sister cries after the sister cries, and the sister cries after the sister cries, it sounds like only one child is crying."

"The midwife who delivered her was her confidant, to be precise, the confidant arranged for her by the expert. The fate of these two children was doomed from birth. One stayed in the palace and the other was carried out."

"They will be two perfect pawns, even more perfect than her as the concubine. But who will stay in the palace to be the princess, and who will take them out of the palace to be the dead soldier?"

"The imperial concubine left her elder sister who was born first, because the child was already lying in her arms, and she couldn't let go of the child after taking her first mouthful of milk. People carried it out."

Ning An covered her ears: "Stop talking...stop talking..."

"Everyone has heard that the queen loves the little princess because she was born on the same day as her own daughter, as if her own daughter was reincarnated. But in fact, the queen loves her only because she is indeed a beautiful and lovely child. The so-called birthday has nothing to do with it."

"That child is lively and active. She seems to be fearless, but in reality she is also afraid of this and that. She is a paper tiger at all. She is afraid of the dark, especially so."

"But sometimes, she doesn't seem to be afraid. She likes to eat chestnuts, but occasionally she hates chestnuts. The queen only thinks that she is a child, and she doesn't take it to heart. The queen loves the child, but do you know where the queen came from?" Did you really decide not to let this child down for the rest of your life?"

Ning An subconsciously pricked up his ears.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "It was the night when the queen was thrown into the cold palace. The queen fell ill and no imperial doctor dared to come and treat her. That night there was lightning and thunder, and the queen was lying alone on the bed in the cold palace, thinking that she might be dead. I'm going to die like this. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thin figure climbed over the courtyard wall of the cold palace and came in."

"She pushed open the door, and thunder and lightning chased after her. Her thin figure might be blown down by the strong wind at any time, but she was not afraid. She rushed into the house, threw herself into the queen's arms, and said to the queen, 'Mother, I'm here I'm looking at you', "Don't be afraid, Empress, Ning'an will accompany you."

Ning An's body suddenly stopped.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes flashed memories: "At that time, the child who ran desperately for her in the thunder and lightning, the child who climbed over the wall and got his hand pierced, and the child who fell so many times on the road that his knees were bloody. Child...the queen said to herself, she will love her forever!"

Ning An's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That child...even if it's just once...just once...tell the queen...she's not Ning An...she's Ning An's younger sister..." Empress Dowager Zhuang's throat choked up, and she squeezed her fingers under her wide sleeve.

Tears gradually filled Ning An's eyes, and he stared blankly at Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang took a deep breath, raised her head, turned around, and looked into the dark corridor: "The Empress will save her and love her. She never needs to live in Ning An's shadow."

"Mother Queen!" Ning An burst into tears, and rushed over to grab the corner of Queen Mother Zhuang's clothes.

Mrs. Zhuang walked towards the exit expressionlessly.

A hot tear fell, and she never looked back.
