Chapter 65

The eight fans of the Bisha cabinet are on the ground, and in summer, a layer of blue gauze is pasted on the heart of Luodian, which not only serves as a partition for the inner room, but also blocks mosquitoes and flies. This winter, due to the unusually cold weather in the capital, after the winter, a thick layer of quilted satin with rich and noble patterns of Yutang was covered on the top. It was originally separated by the bed to block the wind. Behind the bed, a small room was separated, and another bed was laid in it. When Jiafu came to spend the night, she slept in it when she was sleepy.

The emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothing, with only Li Yuangui and two personal guards by his side, until outside Pei's residence, when Pei Quan knew that the holy car came in person, hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and led his children out to greet him, with people kneeling all over the place. Xiao Lie only said a couple of words. Mrs. Pei is respected in different positions and has high morals. The eldest grandson is now entrusted with foreign affairs. He heard that Mrs. Tai was in poor health and was worried, so he went out of the palace to visit to avoid all the red tape.

Pei Quan was very grateful, and behind him, he hurriedly led Xiao Lie to the north hall where the old lady lived. The female family members avoided all of them. The two imperial physicians accompanied them and entered. Pei Quan saw that the old lady was awake and rushed to help him. He took a step forward, stopped Pei Quan, and told the old lady to lie down again without getting up.

Mrs. Pei called her son over and helped herself sit up slowly.

Although her face was extremely haggard, her eyes still looked clear and bright, and she said, "How dare you go out of the palace to visit a long-lived man with such a humble body? There are so many rudenesses, and I am terrified." After saying that, she ordered Pei Quan to help him again. He bowed his knees on the bed, and then leaned on the carved eave at the head of the bed.

Xiao Lie asked the accompanying doctor Hu and another doctor to diagnose and treat the old lady. When the second imperial physician was about to step forward, Madam Pei shook her head and said, "Long live my heart, I am happy to lead, but there is no need to trouble the imperial physician any more. The two of them have the ability to revive the flesh and bones. It's hard work, but I know how old my body is."

She said a few more words, panted slightly, and stopped.

Xiao Lie's eyes lit up, but he remained silent, and the inner room fell silent for a while.

After a while, Xiao Lie raised his eyes and looked at Li Yuangui standing behind him.

Li Yuangui took a step forward and said, "Long live to leave the palace tonight is to thank Mrs. Tai for her kindness in the past. The two imperial physicians should step down. Master Pei, you and our family also go out and wait outside for a while."

Pei Quan hurriedly responded, and together with the imperial physician, bowed to Xiao Lie, and then withdrew from the inner room, sent all the people away, and retreated far away, leaving only Li Yuangui standing outside the Beitang, waiting for the emperor to come out.

Only Xiao Lie and the old woman on the hospital bed were left in the inner room, the candle shadow moved, Xiao Lie got up, came to the hospital bed, bent down, and said in a low voice, "Old lady, why can't you let go? , even if you let me know, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do anything.”

At first, Madam Pei closed her eyes slightly, as if dazed and awake. She slowly opened her eyelids, and looked at the emperor who was leaning over for a moment. She pursed her lips slightly, but answered the question: "Long live, You'an's identity, when are you? Know, and how do you know?"

Jiafu held her breath and stood behind the Bisha closet, when she suddenly heard Mrs. Pei ask this sentence. Although she couldn't see her expression, she could feel it faintly.

The old lady's tone changed. When talking to the emperor, she was no longer as respectful as when Pei Quan and the others stood in front of her. At this moment, she sounded like a questioning meaning, as if this man standing in front of her hospital bed at the moment The man is not the supreme emperor of this world, but just a nephew of her descendants.

She asked the emperor how to know "You'an's identity". Jiafu knew that Pei You'an was an illegitimate child brought back by Duke Wei, but how did the emperor know? What does this have to do with the emperor? The old lady suddenly asked him this, what does it mean?

Gave was a little surprised.

But then, the emperor's reaction was the beginning of what really surprised her.

She quietly looked out through a gap between the partitions of the biscuit cabinet.

In Xiao Lie's expression, there was not the slightest surprise, nor did he show any sullenness that he should have due to being questioned disrespectfully.

He just looked at the old woman on the hospital bed, was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "After I returned to Yunnan, it happened that the Tubo was in chaos, so I led the troops to pacify the chaos, and more than a year later, I waited for it to be pacified. When I returned to Wuding after the chaos, I learned the news that Wen Jing died in the Ci'en Temple a few months ago..."

His voice was already low, and after saying this, as if his emotions were out of control for a while, his voice stopped abruptly.

The old lady was silent.

After a while, Xiao Lie spoke again, his voice trembling slightly, and he changed it to me: "I clearly know that when I left Ci'en Temple, Wen Jing's disease had already improved, and Imperial Doctor Mei personally told me that it only takes a little more time to recover. Day, she will be cured. I was in Tibet at the time, and I always thought she had returned to the palace, but I never thought that..."

He took a deep breath and seemed to calm down.

"Later, I sent someone to come back quietly to inquire, and learned that not long after I left, her illness worsened again, and she died in the monastery after more than half a year. I couldn't believe it. This matter has always been on my mind. I couldn't let go. A few years later, I quietly went out of Yunnan again and found Taiyi Mei, who had already retired and returned to his hometown. Madam, you also know that I was kind to Taiyi Mei, who was about to die at that time. Before he died, he finally confided to me that not long after I left, Wen Jing found out that he was pregnant..."

"It's all my fault, I killed Wen Jing..."

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were full of regret and sorrow.

The house was quiet again.

The Jiafu people held their breath behind the gauze closet, their hearts were beating so fast, they couldn't believe their ears.

...

In the second year of Tianxi, there was a flood in Beijing. After the flood, a plague spread. Although Emperor Tianxi, who had just ascended the throne, ordered the Imperial Physician's Office to fight the epidemic with all its strength, there were still hundreds of people who died of the epidemic every day inside and outside the capital. In the palace, despite being blocked by high walls, it was not spared. Some people got sick one after another, and finally spread to the harem. Unfortunately, the young queen also contracted the plague. At that time, several people in the palace died, and the emperor was under the advice of his ministers. , decided to leave the palace and move to Xiyuan, hundreds of miles away, waiting for the plague to pass. In order to avoid the further spread of the epidemic in the palace, Baiguan suggested that Queen Pei Wenjing should be sent to the Royal Mercy Temple to recuperate.

Pei Wenjing is not only beautiful, but also talented and talented. He has the ability to read and read. Emperor Tianxi has a very deep affection for her. At that time, he couldn't bear to leave her alone, who was already seriously ill, but as an emperor, she was in charge of the society. Li Min's weight, coupled with the dissuasion of Baiguan, finally reluctantly sent her to the temple.

Pei Wenjing's illness became more and more serious, and Imperial Physician Mei, who also entered Ci'en Temple, was helpless. When Emperor Tianxi heard the news, he was also very anxious. He tried to visit several times, but was discouraged by the officials.

It was at that time that Xiao Lie ventured out of Yunnan privately, quietly rushed to the capital day and night, then disguised as a bodyguard, sneaked into the Ci'en Temple, and brought the native medicine of Yunnan natives to Tai Doctor Mei.

Perhaps it was because Pei Wenjing was still alive at the time, or for some other reason. In the following period of time, her condition gradually improved, and Xiao Lie stayed in the temple for a few months. He didn't leave until a few months later, when Pei Wenjing's condition finally recovered, he quietly left the capital and returned to Yunnan.

"The late emperor's status was precious, and naturally he could not risk getting close to him. When the old man went to visit the sick, he was all trembling when he saw the palace servants who were also serving the sick in the temple. If he could avoid it, he would avoid it, lest he be infected with the epidemic. Only you knew that she was sick. Heavy news, willing to take risks, privately went out of Yunnan to bring medicine for her. You are grateful to Wen Jing for this kind of affection. "

Tears gradually flashed in Mrs. Pei's eyes.

"It's just that I know my daughter. Wen Jing has been dignified and dignified since she was a child. At that time, as a queen, she didn't know what was at stake. Even if you came from afar for her, she still has some childhood feelings for you, and she doesn't believe it in her old age. , my daughter, she would have done such a thing without knowing the importance! Long live, Wen Jing's life was saved by you at the time, but her life, of course, was also taken by you later!"

"Wen Jing is gone, and I'm no better than a beast, and I don't dare to insult her undead. Madam, you are right, it was true that I was out of control for a while and forced to her, but I was very careful, I never thought of it. , After I left, she became pregnant. I killed her. "

Xiao Lie's eyes were red, and he looked at the old woman on the hospital bed. He slowly lowered his body, and finally fell to her knees and knelt down firmly.

"When I found out from Imperial Doctor Mei, it was several years later. At that time, You'an had already become the son of the prince, and I couldn't do anything..."

Jiafu stared at the emperor who knelt down to Mrs. Pei. She already understood everything in her heart, but she felt unbelievable, and the whole person fell into extreme horror.

But Mrs. Pei seemed to be caught in a certain emotion of her own. As if she had never seen it, she let Xiao Lie kneel like that, and was silent for a long time, and then said: "Long live, when Wen Jing first learned that she was pregnant, she also had a cruel heart. The medicine of tiger and wolf, but the child refused to leave. She couldn't bear to kill him again. In the end, in the name of recuperating, she continued to stay in the temple and gave birth to him. After giving birth to the child only two days later, Wen Jing died of blood. , the child was not full-term, but only seven or eight months old. At that time, I thought that the child would be able to provide for a living, and it would not be long-lived in the future. I really couldn't bear him to live abroad and suffer, so I took him back to the mansion. , raised under the name of Changfang..."

"Long live, do you know that from the first day I decided to bring him back to raise me, I never thought that I would let you know about his relationship with you. I originally wanted to let this child live a good life. Years, even if he went last, he would still be able to live up to the entrustment of Wen Jing. But the old man did not expect that the meaning of God is far from what people expected. You An grew up, and when he was sixteen years old, he thought he was my son. The illegitimate son of the illegitimate child, thought he was disgusted with his identity and was willing to defile himself. There are concerns..."

Xu Shi's mood fluctuated violently, and the old lady suddenly coughed, her face pale.

Xiao Lie hurriedly got up from the ground, stepped forward to support her, and rubbed her back.

Mrs. Pei gradually calmed down and waved her hand: "Long live, you are now on the throne and become the ruler of the world. But for You An, it may not be a blessing. You must know that you love him, and keep it away, as if you didn't have a son like him. , This is your protection for him. But you don't! Over the years, I have seen you get close to You An with my own eyes. Long live the old man, I never thought of letting You An know his life experience. But long live, have you ever thought about it? , If one day, his identity is known, where do you want to put him? How will You An handle himself? Long live the people around you, what will you think?"

The room fell silent again.

After a while, Xiao Lie raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "He is the son of my beloved who was born to me, and I will never allow others to hurt him in the slightest, the old lady can rest assured."
