Chapter 481
He raised his head in confusion, and before he could ask, Gongsun Ming, who had been untied, had already thrown himself into his arms, a tear welled up in his eye socket, and "Bada" fell down, crying loudly in a childish voice: "Uncle! She to kill me!"

Hua Qianmeng froze in place.

"She wants to kill me! How could she kill me!"

"That night, I almost died, I was so scared!"

"Master is dead... Nanny Guo is dead... Imperial Physician Hu is also dead!"

These cries contained many complex emotions that made one's heart ache, full of pain, sorrow, hatred, reluctance to believe, helplessness, despair... just so defenseless It broke into Huaqian's heart.

He seemed to understand what Leng Xia meant, and stroked Gongsun Ming's head one after another, comforting him gently.

After a long, long time, Gongsun Ming was crying so hard that he lost his strength. From pain to sobbing, his emotions gradually eased. He raised his face, looked at Hua Qian fixedly, and said persistently: "Uncle, they They say you are a traitor, I know you are not, is it... she... harmed you?"

Hua Qian sighed, hurting people to grow up, if it was three years ago, how could he have thought that a child who didn't understand anything but only knew how to play around would have such eyes.

Picking up the little boy, let him sit down, Hua Qian knelt down and looked at him at the same level, said seriously: "Tell uncle, what happened?"

Gongsun Ming lowered his eyes, folded his arms and trembled slightly, after a long, long silence...

He recalled: "That day, I sneaked into the queen mother's bedroom, wanted to give her a surprise, and hid it in the closet..."

For an unknown period of time, he fell asleep in the wardrobe, until the sound of two people's conversation woke him up.

"You really have the heart to kill him?"

"Why can't you bear it? The Ai family never treated him as a child. In the past, there was no way to do it. They needed such a puppet. Now that the entire court is in the hands of the Ai family, what use is there for him?"

Gongsun Ming, who was only seven years old, was about to get out of the closet when he was suddenly frozen in place by this sentence!
These two voices were the ones he was most familiar with, Hua Mei and Hua Chongli.

He huddled in the closet blankly, listening blankly to the queen mother and grandfather outside, discussing the pros and cons of killing him.

"What if the courtier..." Hua Zhongli hesitated: "Are you so sure that you can become the empress?"

"That trash in Xiwei can be a queen, so why can't the Ai family?" Hua Mei snorted, her voice full of merciless ruthlessness: "As long as he dies, there will be no one left in the Gongsun family! Those troubled courtiers What else can I do besides supporting me?"

"You forgot, and that..."

"That little bastard? He has been poisoned so deeply, so what if he escapes from the palace, he will definitely die!"

"After all, his body was not found..." After Hua Chongli finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and his voice was filled with excitement: "Okay, as long as you are sure that his death will not arouse the suspicion of the courtiers, we will not do it." Don't stop, kill him!"

"A few days ago, I went to test the tone of those old people. They hesitated and faltered, and they all claimed that they needed to think about it. In this case, Aijia will help them! Let Dr. Hu do it tonight. Once Gongsun Ming dies, they will There should be a decision!"

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Gongsun Ming crawled out of the closet with a pale face...

That night, Imperial Physician Hu really came.

The health-preserving decoction was delivered to the eyes, looking at the brown concoction, sparkling under the candlelight, Gongsun Ming seemed to see the blood everywhere, he was terrified, he just wanted to escape, he yelled She retracted into the quilt and kept shaking her head: "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

boom!
The medicine bowl fell to the ground!

The scattered fragments ignited a little spark, combined with the flowing medicinal juice, it was full of sadness.

Doctor Hu looked at the little emperor who was only seven years old, and took two steps back: "Your Majesty, do you know?"

Gongsun Ming was trembling, tears streaming down his cheeks, he knew it, he understood it...

Why did the queen mother never give a hug to him, and only came to see him for a few days, and every time she came and went in a hurry, she was bored and impatient?
Why did the good teacher in the school suddenly die, and in exchange for someone who doesn't teach him the art of the emperor?

Why do the people around him encourage him to go out and fight dogs in different ways every day?
Why did Nanny Guo, who had been protecting him all the time, whisper to him one day to "be careful of the Queen Mother", and after he taught the Queen Mother this joke, Nanny Guo disappeared?
Why does my uncle always look at him with distressed and helpless eyes...

He had never thought about so many questions when he was young, but only after a short night...

He got it all!
There was silence in the room, only Gongsun Ming mechanically recounted the night three years ago with his trembling and immature voice...

He raised his head, with a rather feminine face, there was no arrogance, no domineering, no teeth and claws, it was a completely different calm from usual, "Mr. Hu didn't kill me, he cleaned up the bedroom, as if he had never been here , just sighed and left, I remember his back, so desperate..."

"At that time, I didn't know what that despair meant. It wasn't until I sat alone in the bedroom all night that I learned the next day that Dr. Hu had hanged himself in the Royal Hospital, and that afternoon, he was found out. Stealing the precious medicinal materials used by the imperial court committed suicide in fear of crime, and even his whole family was copied and beheaded." He laughed disdainfully, and for this poor excuse, his eyes were full of vicissitudes that did not match his age: "I'm so worried. It's almost January, I don't know why she didn't kill me again, but I know that my life is always in her mind, if I want to live, I have to let her rest assured!"

Tears welled up again, but the corners of his lips curled into a smile, and he looked at Hua Qian, "Uncle, I did it, I survived, and I will live until you come back! You are finally back..."

After saying this, he used great strength to withstand the fear and sorrow, and finally Gongsun Ming was exhausted and passed out.

Carrying him to the bed and covering him with the quilt, Hua Qian's long and narrow eyes flickered coldly.
