Chapter 83 Unknown inside story

Chang Suining looked at the cotton towel that fell to the ground.

Chang Sui An Ze was extremely puzzled and said: "Even my son has heard of the name of Princess Xuan'an, how could my father not recognize her?"

Chang Kuo choked and changed his words: "I mean I don't know him well!"

He emphasized: "How could I recognize that kind of poisonous woman?"

Chang Suining was confused when he heard this: "...where did the talk about the poisonous woman begin?"

Chang Kuo's face was full of anger: "This person's behavior is ridiculous. Not only does he not abide by the rules of women, he also feeds himself and enjoys extravagantly in the land. He is really the most poisonous woman among poisonous women!"

Chang Sui Ning and Chang Sui An were both dumbfounded.

"Dad... If you say that the eldest princess is a bit romantic, my son will have heard about it, but common people..." Chang Sui'an scratched his head: "How did my son hear that the land of Xuanzhou has been under the governance of the eldest princess in recent years? The people are very prosperous and happy?”

Chang Kuo denied it: "It's just a rumor!"

Chang Sui'an saw this and said, "You look more like the one who spread the rumors." She didn't know whether to take it seriously or not.

Chang Kuo corrected him again: "What's romantic? That's called not being a woman!"

Hearing him repeatedly emphasize this issue, Chang Sui Ning couldn't help but said: "But the eldest princess has been widowed for many years. She is not a human woman. How can she maintain the so-called women's ethics?"

As far as she knew, Lao Chang was not such a pedantic person, and she had never heard him talk about a woman's chastity - why was she so obsessed with her aunt's hobby at this time?

She didn't remember the two of them having anything noteworthy in the past.

"...In short, this person is not a kind person!" Chang Kuo directly resorted to "what do children know" to perfunctory Dafa: "You are still young, you will understand later."

With that said, he picked up the chopsticks: "Okay, don't mention her again, it's bad luck! Let's eat!"

He picked up a piece of lotus root with his chopsticks, but when looked at together, the holes in the lotus root piece looked like a sinister face, which made him sneer and make him feel angry. This is really unreasonable!

He threw the lotus root clip aside with a look of hatred, and then put down the chopsticks with a "pop" sound.

Chang Sui'an: “…”

If he read it correctly, his father was actually angry with a piece of lotus root?

Chang Kuo put his hands on his knees and looked at his daughter: "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly talk about the poisonous woman Xuan'an?"

Chang Suining: "..."

The powerful words "Don't mention her anymore" still ring in my ears.

There was an impulse in Chang Sui'an's heart - he had never felt like this before and wanted to give his father some warning from the Rejuvenation Pavilion!

But he didn't dare.

Chang Suining then told the story of meeting the men of Princess Xuan'an in the cemetery today.

Chang Kuo snorted coldly: "You are really ill."

"Dad...will I be okay?" When the matter was mentioned again, Chang Sui'an felt a little uneasy: "Although she was forced to swear a poisonous oath, if something bad happens one day, call the eldest princess or her The righteous daughter has seen me, I am afraid that I am in danger...you have to hide me well!"

You can't blame him for being too confident. It's actually that the female guard's stalking behavior was too crazy and crazy, and behind it was a dangerous signal that "this son will satisfy my master."

"Snatch my Chang Kuo's son? She doesn't have the guts yet!" Chang Kuo's voice was particularly strong and he glared at his son: "What are you hiding? Come on, put your heart back in your belly!"

Chang Sui'an could only nod.

Chang Kuo picked up the chopsticks again: "Okay, let's eat, don't mention this unlucky person again!"

Brother and sister: "..."

The chopsticks in Chang Kuo's hand came to the top of the plate of lotus root slices. When he took a closer look, he felt that the whole plate of lotus root slices was full of yin and yang.

This thing is probably the old yin-yang lotus root grown by the old yin-yang people in the old yin-yang pond!

"How come this lotus root is so unlucky to be served on the dining table!" Chang Kuo said immediately: "Take it away and feed the dogs!"

Everyone was speechless.

First of all, what did Lotus root do wrong?

Secondly, dogs don't like to be vegetarian either.

But the female envoy could only do as she was told.

After finishing the meal, Chang Kuo's anger finally subsided as his stomach became fuller and fuller.

Chang Sui Ning, who had secretly observed his whole meal, came to the conclusion that Chang Kuo was biased towards the eldest princess and was very resentful.

She originally wanted to use today's events to ask Chang Kuo more about the eldest princess and Xuanzhou, but seeing that Chang Kuo was like a firecracker that exploded at the mere mention of it, she couldn't rush to ask more questions.

When the question about the eldest princess failed, she considered asking about another matter, one that was more important to her.

"Dad, I happened to hear A Dian mention it today. It seems that the birthday of His Royal Highness is coming soon?"

On the way back from the dining hall, Chang Sui Ning asked casually.

Chang Kuo was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, His Highness's birthday will be next month."

"Will Dad go to offer sacrifices?"

"I would like to visit His Highness." Chang Kuo's tone sounded ordinary: "It's just that outsiders like us are not allowed to go privately when Jingshan Gongling Mausoleum is not holding a major ceremony."

Chang Sui Ning paused and said, "My father and His Highness have been through life and death for many years, so they are not outsiders."

Chang Kuo smiled when he heard this: "Having said that, the rules cannot be broken. It doesn't matter. You don't have to go to Gongling Mausoleum. It's the same for paying tribute in private..."

As he said that, he looked up at the night sky: "As long as His Highness can hear me."

Chang Suining nodded silently.

This is still very safe.

She continued logically: "The first prince and the eldest princess Chongyue are twins, so that day will also be the eldest princess's birthday—"

Chang Kuo nodded: "This is natural."

And what they really want to sacrifice is the latter.

"The former prince was on the battlefield, and my father was his comrade in the inner Xuance Army, so there must be no shortage of people to remember him." Chang Sui Ning seemed to be a little emotional: "On the other hand, the eldest princess Chongyue was weak during her lifetime and did not interact with others often. , and then he went away to a foreign land with his relatives... He has been dead for many years, I wonder if there are any old friends who were close to him during his lifetime to pay homage to him? "

She knows that Old Chang knows many things, but at this time she is A Li, so she has to pretend not to know that Old Chang knows, and Old Chang also has to pretend not to know with her... It's a bit roundabout, but that's about it. Bar.

"There should be..." Chang Kuo thought thoughtfully and said, "In addition to the saint, Her Royal Highness the Princess also has two familiar friends. One is Duan, the Duke of Zheng, who once served as the reading companion for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is the eldest princess's female envoy during her lifetime." Chang Kuo said: "This female envoy has been with the eldest princess since she was a child. Later, she accompanied the eldest princess to marry Beidi. Before the eldest princess decided to die for her country, she probably We managed to settle the envoy so that she could escape the Di army's pursuit. After our army's victory, some soldiers found her..."

The above is all that Chang Sui Ning has been able to find out in bits and pieces these days -

She only knew that Yuchi was still alive - just alive. This was what she wanted at that time, and what she hoped to see at this time.

Only the living can give her the answer.

Chang Suijing waited quietly for Chang Kuo to continue.

"Although the person is still alive and not seriously injured, she may have been running away in a freezing cold place for many days, and the death of Her Royal Highness the Princess was a huge blow to her... so she became a lot stupider."

"Are you stupid?" Chang Sui Ning frowned slightly. Chang Kuo nodded: "Zuo is just a female envoy, and not many people know these details. The saint remembered that she had served the eldest princess for many years, so he also placed her properly. Now she is still in the old mansion of the eldest princess Chongyue, but because of Suffering from this disease, I am in a state of stupidity most of the time. It seems that I have never been out for more than ten years. "

Are you stupid most of the time?

Does that mean that there are occasional moments of sobriety?

And it's hard to say whether this so-called stupidity is true or not - it's possible to hide such a secret and pretend to be stupid to avoid something.

"How could Sui Ning think of asking about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"When I mention His Royal Highness the First Crown Prince, I think of Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

There was something unnoticeably low in Chang Kuo's tone, and he said slowly: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is also a very admirable person."

But what Her Highness received during her lifetime and after her death did not match what she gave.

He finally said: "On the day of Ming's birthday, Mrs. Zheng Guogong should go to the eldest princess's mansion to offer sacrifices... The saint can't let go of His Highness the eldest princess in his heart, so he has kept the eldest princess's mansion as it is. No one is allowed to set foot in the palace on weekdays, but only on Ming's birthday. On the anniversary of his death, I specially allowed Mrs. Zheng Guogong, who was my good friend during the lifetime of the eldest princess, to come to pay homage."

Can't let go?

Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes.

She couldn't believe this.

It may be more believable to interpret it as wanting to establish a reputation as a loving mother in front of the world.

While they were talking, the forked roads leading to the inner and outer courtyards were already in front of them. Chang Suining said, "Dad, take a rest early." Then he separated from Chang Kuo and walked towards his own courtyard with Xi'er.

Above the night, a bright moon is about to become full.

Many thoughts flashed through Chang Sui Ning's heart, and the clearest one was that she must see Jade Chip.

There is a mystery in her heart, which may only be solved at the moment.

Everyone knows that twelve years ago, during the war between Dasheng and Beidi, Princess Chongyue actually killed the Beidi coach "by some unknown means".

The world also knows that after she carried the commander's head out of the military tent, in order to avoid being humiliated and held as a hostage, she committed suicide in front of the Beidi army.

These are generally true.

But behind her suicide, there was another unknown secret—

At that time, in the middle of her fight with the Beidi coach, she noticed something strange in her body - she was poisoned.

The only possibility she could think of was the cup of tea handed over by the female envoy Yuchi before.

Yuchan was her most trusted confidant, and because she had a death wish in her heart at that time, she gave Yuchan an opportunity.

If the poison had not already taken hold and she had exhausted her last bit of energy to kill the Beidi coach and had no strength to fight anymore, she would kill a few more and bury them, and she would bleed no matter what, and she should not waste a drop of it.

She was a proud person, and since she had no chance to fight again, she chose a way to die that she liked. Compared to dying under the knives of those Beidi people, committing suicide was obviously a good choice.

But thinking about it, after she died, the Beidi people wouldn't treat her body well.

She didn't care about what happened after her death, she just wanted to save her face as much as possible during her lifetime.

As for Yuchi's secret poisoning, she was naturally suspicious of Minghou.

This move was obviously not to give her a chance to return to Dasheng alive - and the person who needed to do this the most was Empress Ming, who was only one step away from the throne at that time.

Even if the other party promised to take her back, just listen to the power words used to coax the child.

But now Yuchi is still alive and well placed in the eldest princess's mansion... If the poisoning back then was really the Queen's instigation, why didn't she keep silent?

It can also be explained that everyone is dead anyway, no one will investigate the truth, a stupid female envoy cannot make any trouble, and being in the princess's mansion is equivalent to being under house arrest, everything is under control. , it is better to leave the person behind and treat the old people around the eldest princess with kindness and good reputation——

But Chang Sui Ning always felt a little unsure.

It's not that she still harbors illusions about Ming Hou, but that she should always maintain the minimum caution when exploring the truth.

Just like blind trust, it is not advisable to indulge in blind suspicion.

Twelve years ago, who was the person who wanted to poison her? The answer must lie with Yuchi.

She must try to see Yuchan.

Chang Suining turned his head and looked in the direction of Princess Chongyue's old mansion from a distance.

"General, I have something I don't know whether to say or not..."

Manager Bai, who accompanied Chang Kuo back, said after consideration.

"When did you learn this trick?" Chang Kuo glanced at him: "You don't like to talk about it."

Manager Bai coughed lightly and relieved his embarrassment: "It's about the girl... I always feel that since the girl came back from death in Hezhou, her behavior, behavior and even temperament have changed drastically."

Chang Kuo: "Isn't this nonsense? Which daughter's family would have such a thing happen to her that her temperament would change drastically?"

"Of course that's the truth..." Manager Bai thought for a while and said, "But the more I look at her these days, the more I feel that the girl seems to have changed."

Chang Kuo suddenly laughed: "Why do you still need to watch it for so long?"

Guanshi Bai was puzzled.

Chang Kuo sighed: "I have felt this way since I first saw this child again on the way back to Beijing. She hadn't spoken yet, and I didn't know she had hurt her brain."

Manager Bai was surprised: "General, you can tell the difference at a glance?"

Chang Kuo said "hmm": "It's true that he has truly changed inside and out."

"Then General..." Manager Bai looked around and lowered his voice as low as possible: "Have you ever thought about the possibility of the girl being possessed by evil spirits?"

Chang Kuo shook his head: "That's not true."

"General, even if you don't believe in ghosts, gods and evil spirits, you can..."

"I definitely don't believe in ghosts and gods." Chang Kuo interrupted Guanshi Bai and said slowly: "It's because at that glance I felt that Suining had changed greatly, but there was one feeling that had not changed - no matter how much this child changed, , but looking into my eyes, we are still a family.”

He couldn't fault the kind of bond that only existed between family members.

After hearing this, Manager Bai smiled with relief: "That's true. After hearing the general mention it, my subordinates also vaguely felt that although the girl has changed a lot, she has never looked strange to others."

"Yes." Chang Kuo raised his hand to twist his beard and said with a smile, "No matter how we change, we are still a family."

The next day, it will get late.

In Anyifang, outside the gate of the Cui family's house, every quarter of an hour, visiting servants would return to the house to report the news with Cui Lang.
