Chapter 140

Wu Yun nodded, pondered for a while and said: "My lord, this subordinate has another piece of news."

"What news?"

Wu Yun asked several other subordinates to retreat outside the house, and said in a low voice: "Earlier, Ge Jia, the chief envoy and governor of Jiangnan, originally wanted his daughter to marry the prince to be the concubine. He is already the current emperor, but the crown prince is weak and often sick on the couch. Now that the eighth prince is in charge of the government, the singer intends to win over the eighth prince, and the empress dowager also likes this marriage very much. But because the old concubine was dissatisfied with Bai Dieshuang's life experience, after the death of Princess Jing, she refused to let Bai Dieshuang be the main wife. Miss Ge Jia begged for her son, one end is the emperor, the other end is the prince regent, no one can offend."

"Grandpa, what do you think?"

"Who would have thought that the Ge family could not be offended at both ends. The Ge family's boudoir has two daughters, and the Ge family actually let the two sisters marry their uncle and nephew at the same time. This is really an anecdote in the world."

Shangguan Fengxuan's face was pale, and he quietly listened to Wu Yun's words.Can't help snorting coldly.

The Ge family has great wealth, is in charge of the world's salt roads, and is the governor of the south of the Yangtze River. The Ge family wants to establish a good relationship with the two long live thousand years above the court, and the people in the court don't want to win him over.

The Supreme Concubine and the Empress Dowager Shen are bound to fight for the top.

Wu Yun continued: "Now, the singer intends to marry the eldest daughter 'Ge Yingying' to the Prince Regent as Yuan Concubine, and the youngest daughter 'Ge Wu' to marry the current emperor as empress."

Shangguan Fengxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Yun, his eyes were bottomless, "The emperor agreed with Lao Ba?"

"Both parties did not agree before, but one is the emperor and the other is the regent, and there are times when they can't help themselves. The new emperor ascends the throne, and the harem is empty, so he must be established. The emperor is young, so how can he be worth the hundreds of officials in the court? And the pressure exerted by the Empress Dowager. Now that the Eighth Prince is in charge, after a few years, if the emperor has no heirs, the throne will inevitably be passed on to others. How can the Empress Dowager Shen not understand this truth? I heard that the Empress Dowager Shen threatened the emperor with her officials. If the current emperor refuses to accept the queen, he will unite with all the officials to let the little princess marry far away from the Beiyi country. Life is at risk, the emperor loves this little princess very much, under the pressure of Queen Mother Shen, he agreed to accept the queen."

Shangguan Fengxuan slightly narrowed his eyes when he heard Wu Yun's words.

Did Hongyu really agree to accept the empress under the persecution of Shen Wenjun and Baiguan?He doesn't seem like someone who would give in easily.However, it is true that Hongyu loves Shangguan Zhuzhu.

Wu Yun went on to say: "And the regent is nothing more than that. The empress dowager forced her to die, but the regent still faced each other coldly. He only said: "The queen mother will marry one for the son, and the son will be able to divorce one. Straight to the empress dowager The concubine turned pale with anger."

After Wu Yun finished speaking, he paused and changed his tone, "My lord, the news I learned from the humble job is not among them."

Shangguan Fengxuan glanced at him, "Any more news?"

"When I inquired about the news of the East Bandit Gang, I secretly learned that the second lady of the Ge family was not from the wife of the main house, but the illegitimate daughter of Ge Jiang who was living outside. Master Ge had an affair with a singer back then. Song Ji doesn't want to be a concubine, and wanders outside with Master Ge's flesh and blood, Master said, where is this girl now?"

"It's right by the Luoshui River."

Shangguan Fengxuan showed a little surprise, "That is to say, in order not to offend the two masters above, Master Ge will take this illegitimate daughter who is living outside to recognize her ancestors and marry into the palace?"

"Exactly."

"Do you know who this woman is?"

"It's still unknown at the moment. Even the singers have never seen this girl. They only know that the singer lived in seclusion by the Luoshui River back then."

Shangguan Fengxuan kept silent, just sitting there like a hard-to-see ice sculpture, with an imposing manner.

Wu Yun's eyes flickered, and he said: "My lord, I think we can use this news to make the singer's marriage fail, so as not to strengthen the Eighth Prince's power."

Shangguan Fengxuan was leaning on the chair, his expression suddenly relaxed, as if he was thinking about something quietly, Wu Yun knew that his master would be the least disturbed when he was silent, so he stood aside and remained silent.

Shangguan Fengxuan put one hand on the edge of the couch, and pressed his bony fingers on his forehead, his mind was already in a thousand turns.

Wu Yun looked up, and saw his master slowly saying: "You first find out this woman secretly, and don't say anything, report to this king at any time."

"Understandable."

------------------------

Since Xueyi and Brother Dayu rescued Xiaoyu's mother that day, Xueyi would go to Lingwu Mountain to visit Xiaoyu's mother for a few days to heal her injuries.

Xueyi left Abi to take care of Shangguan Fengxuan, while she followed Brother Dayu to Lingwu Mountain.

After getting along for a few days, Xue Yi realized that Xiao Yu liked Heavy Yu, but Heavy Yu didn't realize it.

After climbing a section of mountain road, Xiaoyu's home can be seen in the woods in the distance, but there are only a few huts, which are extremely simple.

Before the two of them entered the yard, they heard a cry from the house, which sounded like the voice of a small fish.

The two in snow clothes and heavy rain glanced at each other, hurriedly walked a few steps and broke into the house.

"Little fish lady, what are you doing?!"

The two rushed into the house and saw Xiaoyu's mother holding scissors in her hand, limping her injured right leg and Xiaoyu circling around the table in a stalemate, Xiaoyu's face was full of surprise and fear, Her frail body cried like a withered flower in the wind.

Xiao Yuniang kissed her face with a determined look, and she held the scissors hard, as if a little crazy, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, listen to mother, mother is doing this for your own good, ah...child, come here, Mother promises that it will only hurt once, and it will pass!"

"Mom, don't, don't."

Xiaoyu's mother saw the snow clothes and the heavy rain rushing in, stepped quickly across the corner of the table, and grabbed Xiaoyu's arm forcefully, with tears still in her swollen eyes, but the scissors in her hand were resolutely facing her daughter. poke down.

"stop!"

Both Xue Yi and Da Yu stopped Xiao Yuniang, and Da Yu snatched the scissors, and hugged the trembling Xiao Yu in his arms, Xiao Yu was so scared that his face was so pale that there was no blood.

Xue Yi looked at Xiao Yu Niangqin who had fallen to the ground in shock, and shouted incomprehensibly: "Mother, Xiao Yu is your own daughter, how could you be willing to kill your daughter and do this to her?" Poison hand?!"

On the ground, Xiao Yuniang cried bitterly.

Da Yu was also a little angry, and shouted in a cold voice: "Mother, Da Yu sees that you have always loved Xiao Yu, why are you so confused today, why did you kill your daughter?!"

Xiaoyu stood up, crying non-stop, anxious, unable to speak, just waved his hands and shook his head, "No, no, no." Xue Yi and Da Yu looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu was so anxious that tears rolled down his face. He ran over, knelt down and hugged her mother.

Xiao Yuniang suddenly burst into tears, the mother and daughter hugged each other, looking very miserable.

Xue Yi and Da Yu looked at each other in blank dismay, really puzzled.

I heard Xiaoyu's mother crying, hugging her daughter tightly, stroking her daughter's hair, "Son, don't blame mother, mother is sorry for not giving you food and clothes, and now I can't see you go Going into that pit of fire, mother has no choice but to do this, you are the meat of mother's heart, which mother doesn't love her child, and doesn't want her child to grow up cute and charming, if it's not helpless, how can mother bear to do it? Take this beautiful face of yours, child, my daughter is a mother, I am sorry for your mother, I am sorry for you."

Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Mother Xiaoyu, you, aren't you going to kill Xiaoyu?"

Xiaoyu shook her head desperately, and her mother shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I only have one lifeline, my daughter is everything to me, how can I kill her, it's like killing myself."

Da Yu was even more puzzled, "Aniang, but just now I saw you with my own eyes—"

"I'm not going to kill her, I'm just going to slash her face."

"Why is this?!" Xue Yi Da Yu was very puzzled.

The two helped her mother and daughter up from the ground, and Xiao Yu's mother held Xiao Yu's sweet and moving face, her eyes were filled with infinite love and sorrow, Xiao Yu's mother was actually beautiful, but that simple face His face was so pale that it was almost bloodless, but it added a dusty temperament.

Xiao Yuniang sighed, and slowly told her two stories about the past.

After finishing speaking, there was another long sigh: "Now you understand why I took her to live in seclusion by the Luoshui River, why I wanted to cut my own daughter's face, I did this for her, I have no other choice .”

"Then, Xiaoyu is actually the daughter of the governor of Jiangnan?" It turned out that behind the life experiences of the mother and daughter, there was such a sad past hidden.
