my love

Chapter 18


With hot eyes, Mu Yunsheng choked up slightly: "Daughter knows that dad is doing it for her own good. You are the person who treats me best in the world, and you are also my most beloved dad. But my daughter doesn't want to spend her whole life in a daze. My daughter wants to find out the truth." , to give an explanation to the person who died wronged, if you ignore it, your daughter will have no peace for the rest of her life."

After being silent for a while, Mu Zhiyuan said sadly: "So what if you know the truth? Don't you think there are not enough souls in Prince Xin's Mansion? You are going to push yourself into the abyss."

Mu Yunsheng stared at Mu Zhiyuan, and asked word by word: "Father, can you tell me everything you know? Why did you save my mother in the first place?"

Hearing her ask about the past, I knew that she had made up her mind. Although she was uneasy, she did not persuade her any more, and smiled miserably: "I saved your mother for the sake of atonement. Don't ask about other things. Let us keep a little bit of it." Father-daughter love."

Mu Zhiyuan got up tremblingly and left, Yun Sheng shouted bitterly behind him: "Father, no matter what happens, I won't blame you. In this world, your daughter is the only relative."

Muddy tears slid down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know what was waiting for Mu Yunsheng, whether it was the heroism of moths flying into the flames, or the stupidity of self-destruction. He knew it was a dead end, but he wanted to watch As she walked up without hesitation.

Duanmu Zongli refused to take her into the palace, he couldn't see Zhu Minzhi for a while, and he had nothing to do, Mu Yunsheng was extremely anxious.

On the third day, just after breakfast, Ling'er took a letter to her, saying that it was sent by a servant.

Mu Yunsheng hurriedly opened the letter, and there were only a few numbers in the letter: a description of Chishagang, fifteen miles west of the city.The letter was not signed, but Yun Sheng knew that the letter must have been sent by Zhu Minzhi.

After reading the letter, I set it on fire.Ling'er asked curiously: "Miss, why did you burn the letter when you were so good?"

Mu Yunsheng remained silent, and in a blink of an eye, the letter was turned into ashes in the censer.

She told Ling'er: "I'm going out later, you go to the master and let me know, I will come back as soon as possible, so that the master doesn't have to worry."

Linger asked again worriedly: "Where are you going, miss? Can you take Linger with you? So that Linger can take care of you."

Mu Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Master has been feeling unwell recently, please help me to look after him, so I can rest assured."

In the past few days, I found that the young lady is a little different from before, and she is not as happy as before. Knowing that she doesn't want to take her with her, Ling'er nodded helplessly and said: "The young lady is careful, come back early."

Mu Yunsheng hurried to the Chishagang mentioned by Zhu Minzhi, and when he looked up, it was eerie.

Chishagang is actually a random graveyard, desolate and desolate, full of deserted mounds.

In March of Yangchun, the city of Luojing was already covered with greenery and thousands of flowers were blooming. Except for the stones and protruding large and small soil bumps, it seems that even weeds do not want to grow here.

Mu Yunsheng was a little uneasy. Zhu Minzhi's asking her to come must have something to do with Prince Xin's Mansion. For some reason, she suddenly became a little scared.

After walking a short distance on the deserted road, I found that Zhu Minzhi was already waiting beside a broken stone.

Zhu Minzhi bowed deeply when he saw Mu Yunsheng, and said respectfully, "Princess."

Knowing that he would definitely talk about his life experience, Mu Yunsheng barely suppressed the beating of his heart, and asked expressionlessly: "What did you ask me to come here for?"

Zhu Minzhi stared at this cemetery where countless innocent souls were buried, and said in a low voice, "The little man will take you to a place." Yu Bi turned and led the way.

Mu Yunsheng walked side by side with him silently, his heart fluctuated uncontrollably.There were many rocks under her feet, and the desolation became more and more desolate as she walked forward. Occasionally, there were shallow buried corpses showing bones, and her heart sank more and more.

Finally, Zhu Minzhi stopped in front of a dense pile of graves, turned his head and stared at Mu Yunsheng with complicated eyes.

Suddenly she seemed to understand something, and staggered back a step in confusion.

Zhu Minzhi's feminine eyes were full of deep-seated hatred and anger, his clenched hands trembled slightly, he restrained his emotions slightly, and his voice trembled: "Princess, this is the burial place of 150 and 84 people in Prince Xin's Mansion, 68 males , [-] female family members, seven underage children, all with different heads, not even a piece of burlap.

Your elder brother, Xiao Shizi, who was only seven years old back then, was also among them! "

Although Mu Yunsheng had already made preparations, Zhu Minzhi's unabashed words still shocked her. Her father, the dignified former emperor's son, died so tragically?Not even a decent cemetery?And her brother, her family, are they all so miserable?

She was so scared. At this moment, she would rather not know the cruel truth, but the densely packed tombs in front of her made her nowhere to escape. She seemed to see the executioner raising a thick and sharp steel knife, beheading the heads of relatives one by one. .

The blood blurred her vision, and she heard the cries of children, the begging of women, and the screams of screams were endless.

Zhu Minzhi's eyes were piercing, and he sneered cruelly: "Master, the servant was only 15 years old at the time, watching the people in Prince Xin's mansion who get along with each other day and night like family members be beheaded, do you know that feeling?"

His voice was sad and sad: "Do you know how gentle and gentle your Lord Xin, your father is. No matter who he treats, he is so generous, even the slaves and servants of the mansion, he treats each other with courtesy and respect.

He has always been kind, so he thought that everyone was as kind as he was. When his head was cut off, I saw him with his eyes open, looking at the heads of his family members who kept rolling down.I'm afraid the prince didn't understand and didn't believe it until he died. Why did the emperor, who seemed to be a brother and friend, want to kill all the houses of Prince Xin's mansion?Even young children are reluctant to let go. "

Hearing the tragic death of his father and his family members, Mu Yunsheng couldn't help himself. He let out a wail, collapsed on the ground in grief, covered his ears tightly, and shouted in a broken voice: "Don't say it, don't say it anymore! !"

Zhu Minzhi didn't seem to hear it at all. He never dared to reveal this bitter hatred in front of anyone. The accumulated anger that had been hidden for too long finally lost control in front of Mu Yunsheng.

He continued grimly: "Back then, when the Lingjiang River was flooded, the government was not only unable to provide disaster relief, but those officials also filled their own pockets, causing countless corpses in the Lingjiang Mansion, the displacement of the people, and the destruction of their families. At this time, it was Prince Xin who rushed to the Lingjiang River in person without stopping. , used all his private money to divert water from the canals, buy food for disaster relief, and saved the people of the whole city. This is how the prosperity of the Lingjiang River you saw that day came.

I was only 11 years old that year, and my brother and I were the only ones left in the family. Seeing that we were lonely and helpless, King Xin took us back to Prince Xin's mansion.The older brother was older, and Prince Xin said that a good man should protect his family and the country, and for the sake of his brother's future, he was sent into the army the next year. "

Mu Yunsheng gradually stopped crying, and quietly listened to Zhu Minzhi's story about her father.

Zhu Minzhi was also immersed in that distant memory. When it came to the warmth, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he subconsciously softened his tone: "I will follow King Xin and serve him in daily life. Whenever I have free time, The prince taught me to read and write, and taught me how to behave in the world.

Until one month before the accident, the prince said that I hadn’t seen my brother for a long time, and he missed my brother very much, so he asked me to go and see him. He even asked me to make two new sets of clothes for my brother, and brought my brother’s favorite food, cloud Slice of cake. "

Zhu Min narrates the daily life in the past, and the figure of his own father, who has never met, gradually becomes clear. He is so gentle and kind, his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, and his gestures are dignified and elegant.

"The princess also jokingly said that I am too weak, and when I am older, let me go to the army to train, and I will protect the safety of the prince in the future."

Zhu Minzhi's eyes were flushed, he paused for a moment, his cheek muscles suddenly tightened, and he said bitterly: "But when I come back, the gate of Prince Xin's mansion has been sealed by Dali Temple, and the people of Luojing are spreading rumors that King Xin is planning to On the other hand, nine members of the family and servants of the whole family, including 150, will be beheaded at the Ming Terrace three days later."

He said sadly: "My brother and I were rescued by the lord. The lord Xin took pity on our background and didn't include us in the palace's servant register. That's how my brother and I came back with our lives saved. I don't believe that the benevolent lord would do anything wrong." In the past three days, I quietly inquired about why King Xin turned into a rebellious courtier and traitor overnight, but even those who had the slightest source of information only knew that the matter was personally investigated by His Majesty, and the details Nobody knows."

"I didn't see Mrs. Mingzhu on the day of the execution. I think Prince Xin hadn't had time to give his wife a title. This also gave a lady a chance to live. None of the servants in Prince Xin's family betrayed the prince until their death, so the emperor didn't even I didn't know there was another wife who was pregnant with King Xin's flesh and blood. Poor loyal and righteous sons who went to the palace of King Xin on Mingtai, there is not a single strong woman left!"

Mu Yunsheng let out a miserable cry, tears streaming down her face, kneeling on the uneven ground full of gravel, desperately wanting to protect a small tomb in front of her, she knew it was still a child.

Zhu Minzhi's eyes turned red, and he let Mu Yunsheng vent.When the sharp rocks on the tomb hurt her palms, Fangcai found a glimmer of clarity from the confusion, held back tears and asked, "How did my mother get saved? Why did my father save my mother? He and Xin What is the relationship with the palace?"

Zhu Minzhi sneered and said: "He saved your mother just because of a disturbed conscience and guilt. If he hadn't made a plan back then, Li Xun would have been a deposed prince long ago.

That year when the Lingjiang River was flooded, the official who helped the disaster was the Crown Princess' elder brother. In order to win over important officials in the court, Li Xun had to spend a lot of money on various items. Naturally, he had to work hard on these aspects to earn some money. Later, because King Xin intervened, the corruption was exposed. At that time, the first emperor Longyan was furious, and wanted to abolish the crown prince and make King Xin the crown prince, so Mu Zhiyuan made a plan to make Li Wei's wife and uncle a scapegoat.

He knew that King Xin was benevolent, so he went to ask King Xin to intercede for the prince, and described Li Wei's situation as extremely dangerous. Prince Xin had a deep brotherhood and couldn't bear his brother's crime, so he went to ask the late emperor. In order to keep Li Wei, the prince He would rather contradict the late emperor than be the master of the East Palace.

At that time, how could he have imagined that the elder brother whom he treated wholeheartedly wanted to kill him all the time!Later, the first emperor passed away and Li Wei ascended the throne. The following year, Prince Xin's mansion was in trouble. The emperor issued an imperial edict, sternly blaming King Xin for his wolfish ambitions for being a descendant of the Li family. He expelled the prince from the royal family. Not allowed to enter the royal ancestral temple.

The pitiful King Xin, who was generous and kind all his life, had no one to collect his body after his death. Whether it was the officials in the court who had been favored by King Xin, or the people in Luojing City who took good care of him, no one remembered his kindness.In the end, the guards had no choice but to dump his mutilated body in a mass grave.
