First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 577 Life experience (one more)

  Gu Jiao retracted Huo Zhezi and slowly came to Huangfuxian's side.

  Huangfuxian seemed to be sitting here peacefully at this time, but he did not know that he had experienced a thrilling rescue before that. His stump was injured, and he was soaked in river water, and the wound showed a large area of ​​ulceration.

   Jingkong said that he slept for two days, because Jingkong only saw him from moving here to sleep for the two days, and before that, it took three days to rescue him in the hospital and wait for him to pass the dangerous period.

  "Does it still hurt?" Gu Jiao asked, "Your wound."

  Huangfuxian paused, and wanted to say that it didn’t hurt. After hesitating, he still said truthfully: "A little bit."

   There is a slight choking nasal sound.

  Gu Jiao pretended not to hear it: "Let me see."

  It was dark now, and there was no lamp in the room, so she couldn't see anything.

  Huangfuxian did not refuse.

  Gu Jiao lifted his trouser legs.

  Huangfuxian was a little uncomfortable, but he tried his best to resist it.

  I can't see it anyway.

  He thought so.

  Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao directly took out a small flashlight that came with the small medicine box from her pocket, and pressed it on.

   Huangfuxian's expression changed: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to hold lanterns?"

  Gu Jiao said, “This is not an oil lamp, it’s a flashlight. My name is—turn on the flashlight.”

  Huangfuxian: "..."

  Huangfuxian wanted to say that you were shameless, and then he was attracted by the little thing that would shine.

   "Where is the Ye Mingzhu?"

  The only thing Huangfuxian has seen that glows except for fire is the Ye Mingzhu, but it is not so bright.

   "Want to know?" Gu Jiao asked.

   "I don't want to." Huang Fuxian rolled his face stubbornly.

  Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips, squats down on one knee, hits a flashlight with one hand, and untie his gauze with the other.

  Huangfuxian suddenly grabbed her hand, held her breath and said, "It's ugly!"

  Gu Jiao raised her eyes and looked into his eyes steadily. Her eyes were the same as those of Xiaojingkong, pure and clean, without a trace of disdain.

  It's just that compared to Xiaojingkong's innocence, she has a convincing calmness in her eyes.

  Huangfuxian's eyelashes trembled lightly, and slowly let go of his hand.

  Gu Jiao unwrapped the gauze layer by layer, revealing the wound after her stitching.

"Healed well, there was no postoperative infection, but you still have to take medicine on time." After Gu Jiao said, she returned to the East Room and brought a small medicine box for him to change the medicine carefully. "You don't have much pain. I won’t give you painkillers."

   "Yeah." Huang Fuxian replied dullly.

  Gu Jiao bandaged him and began to clean up the medical consumables.

   "How is that little fat guy?"

   Huang Fuxian suddenly spoke.

  Gu Jiao said: "You mean Qin Chuyu? He has returned to the palace, and Lian'er is also in the palace. The queen has something to ask her, so she won't embarrass her."

  What happened that night was dangerous and dangerous. After she and Huangfuxian fell into the water, she plunged her dagger into a rock in the middle of the river.

  Long took a few moves to seconds the black men, flew down and caught her and Huangfuxian up.

After   , they returned to the capital together.

  Huangfuxian turned her head, her gaze fell on her chin. She was squatting, but he didn't see it. At this moment, she stood up, and the stitch wound was exposed to Huangfuxian's sight.

  Huangfuxian was stunned: "Your jaw..."

  Gu Jiao didn’t care, "Scratched it."

  The wound is on the inside of the chin, very cryptic. Huangfuxian has sharp eyes, otherwise it would not be visible.

  Huangfuxian lowered his eyes and pinched his trouser legs with his fingertips: "Did you knock it underwater?"

  Gu Jiao faintly replied, "Yes."

  The water spray at night was so hard to see that it was only after the chin was scratched that Gu Jiao knew that there was a stone there.

   Huangfu Xian said: "For someone like me, it's not worth it."

  Gu Jiao didn't say a word, and continued to do the work at hand.

  The room was very quiet, but the sound of fireworks came from the next door and the front yard from time to time. Xiao Ba was chewing on Gu Yan's shoes again, Xiao Jiu and him, and the other seven chickens returned to their cages obediently.

   Next door, Uncle Zhao was scolding his youngest son. Aunt Liu was chasing goose in the alley, and Aunt Zhou’s house was fried again, and the smell was floating here.

  Huang Fuxian looked at Gu Jiao’s busy little figure once again. For some reason, a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

   "When I was young, she treated me very well."

When Gu Jiao was done cleaning up, Huang Fuxian said again, "Always take me out to play, she will give me good food, and she will carry me on her back when she goes to help the victims. The thing I have done the most in my memory is partying. On her back, cook porridge and herd sheep with her."

  "Are your life in the frontier fortress so bitter?" Gu Jiao had been to the frontier fortress. Naturally, she knew that the people in the frontier fortress were very suffering. She also heard that Princess Ning'an had no royal burdens, and she had to endure hardship with the people.

   But isn’t Ning’an’s true face exposed? It is inevitable that people suspect that those so-called hardships are for show.

   "I don't feel bitter." Huangfuxian said.

   "Yes." Gu Jiao said.

  When the country was so poor, Jingkong never disliked the suffering at home.

  Sometimes what children want is actually very simple.

   Huangfuxian looked towards the obscure and boundless night: "But then everything changed."

  Gu Jiao looked at him.

Huangfuxian stared closely at the brightest star in the night sky, as if cherishing some unattainable memory: "Since my leg was broken, she was like a different person, she became afraid When you get close to me, you no longer like to carry me and hug me like before, and you no longer let me sleep with her. She said that she was afraid of pressing on my wound.

"I was only five years old at the time, and I didn’t understand. As I grew up, I realized that she was not afraid, she was disgusted, she disgusted my broken body, she disgusted that I could no longer be a normal child, she didn’t even want to Stay with me."

  "Every time I grind my bones, I hope she can be by my side. She doesn't need to hold me, she just holds my hand."

   "But she didn't."

  Not once.

Gu Jiao seemed to understand that Huangfuxian’s disgust for herself was largely due to the disgust of his parents, especially Princess Ning’an. It destroyed all his self-esteem and self-confidence. Rather than taking away his legs, Ning Ann's various violence really caused a devastating blow to him.

  Why doesn’t his mother love him?

   Is it because he has no legs?

  Then what is the meaning of his life?

  Gu Jiao looked at him and said, "Do you still feel sorry for her when she treats you like this?"

  Huangfuxian was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "...She is my mother."

  ……

  In the dark prison, Empress Dowager Zhuang stood faintly in the aisle, not a step closer.

  Duke Qin had already taken the officials elsewhere, leaving only a few confidantes to guard.

   Queen Mother Zhuang said: "Let's talk, when did you become Ning'an?"

  Most people in the world can't tear down the bottom or pierce that layer of window paper, but Queen Mother Zhuang is not so temperamental.

  She has no indecision at all.

  She wanted to say, she said sharply.

   Ning An lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the Queen Mother Zhuang with a smile: "I am Ning An, the queen mother!"

  Queen Mother Zhuang said coldly: "It's coming, you still don't admit it!"

Ning An looked astonished and said: "What do I want to admit? I am Ning An! Ning An is me! Is the mother and the queen confused? Can't even remember the daughter she raised? If the mother changes her heart, she will just say it, it doesn't hurt. Ning'an will just say, why use this method to humiliate Ning'an!"

  The Queen Mother was not irritated by her, but looked at her condescendingly, as if watching the last struggle of an ant.

Under the gaze of the Queen Mother, Ning An laughed sullenly, her shoulders trembling: "Mother, your ability to plant people has not changed at all! You planted my mother and concubine like this in the first place, now you are here again. Plant me!"

  The Queen Mother Zhuang didn't start quarreling with her, so she was laughing and talking to herself there.

Every fist of Ning An seemed to hit cotton. She grabbed the plank of the cell and squeezed her cheeks tightly between the cracks in the plank. "The queen said that I am not Ning'an. Is there any evidence? The queen looked at my face. , Isn't it Ning An's face?"

Snapped!

The Queen Mother Zhuang threw a stack of letters on the aisle in front of Ning'an.

   Ning An looked down, slowly stretched out his hand, took the letter from the gap in the prison door, and read it carefully with the dim light of the fire in the aisle.

  Every time she read a page, her face changed a little. When she saw half of it, she suddenly tore off the letter like crazy!

   "Nonsense! Nonsense! All nonsense!"

   "I am Ning'an!"

   "I am Ning'an!"

  She was so emotional that the blue veins on her forehead burst out.

Queen Mother Zhuang glanced at her and said without hesitation: "Well, it's better to tell you a story from the Ai family. Where do you start? It's better to start with the experience of a daughter of a family. This daughter of the family has been a child since childhood. Smart, courageous, and good-looking, but her biological mother was not favored, and she was repeatedly run at home by her concubine sisters. On the way to the temple, she ran into an expert. Gao They met her at first sight, and after a few visits, the two became close friends. After a year of contact, the expert successfully persuaded his close friend to join a non-governmental organization called the Red Lotus Society."

"The Red Lotus Society is actually another identity of the remnants of the former dynasty, and this daughter became the dead man of the remnants of the former dynasty. She was ordered to be drafted into the palace to approach the emperor. The original purpose should be to become the queen or the most holy. The beloved concubine of the heart gave birth to the emperor and supported him as a prince, and then demanded the emperor's life. In this way, Jiangshan fell into the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"It's a pity that things went counterproductive. She was neither the queen nor the concubine, and even the emperor didn't wait to see her. She could only hold the queen's thigh tightly, and the queen lost a daughter. It was also a coincidence that she was pregnant. The month of the month was only one month later than the queen, so she made a living and secretly prepared an inducing drug to give her child a premature birth, which was born on the same day as the queen’s child."

   "But what no one knows is that there is a child in her belly.... It was only an hour later, but it was born two days before and after."

  "The two children never cry together. When the sister cries and the sister cries, the sister cries and the sister cries. To outsiders, only one child is crying."

   "The midwife who delivered her baby was her confidant, to be precise, the confidant arranged for her by the expert. The fate of these two children was doomed from birth, one stayed in the palace and the other was carried out."

  "They will be two perfect chess pieces, even more perfect than her as a princess. But who stays in the palace to be a princess, who holds out the palace to be a deadman?"

"The imperial concubine left her sister who was born first, because the child was already lying in her arms, and she ate her first mouthful of milk. She couldn't let go of this child. She didn't even look at the other one, so she cruelly let her The man took it out."

  Ning An covered her ears: "Stop talking...Stop talking..."

"Everyone is rumored that the queen loves the little princess because she was born on the same day as her daughter, just like her daughter was reborn. But in fact, the queen loves her only because she is indeed a beautiful and lovely child. The so-called birthday does not matter at all."

   "The child is lively and active. It seems that he is not afraid of the sky, but in fact he is also afraid of it. It is a paper tiger at all. She is afraid of the dark, especially afraid."

"But sometimes, she doesn't seem to be afraid. She likes to eat chestnuts, but occasionally she hates chestnuts. The queen only treats her as a child, and doesn't take it to heart. Of course the queen loves that child, but you can know where the queen comes from. From now on really decided not to let this child down for the rest of my life?"

  Ning An subconsciously pricked his ears.

Queen Mother Zhuang said: "It was the night when the queen was beaten into the cold palace. The queen fell ill, and no royal doctor dared to treat her. That night there was lightning and thunder, and the queen was lying alone on the bed in the cold palace, thinking that she might just be alone. It's going to die like this. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thin figure came in over the courtyard wall of Leng Palace."

"She opened the door and thunder and lightning followed her. Her thin figure could be blown down by the gale at any time, but she was not afraid. She rushed into the house, threw herself into the queen’s arms, and said to the queen, “Mother, I’m here. It's up to you', "Don't be afraid of the queen mother, Ning An will accompany you."

  Ning An's body suddenly stopped.

Reminiscences flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother Zhuang: "It was at that time, the child who ran for her in the thunder and lightning, the child who was pierced by the hand over the wall, the child who fell a lot on the road and fell with blood-blue knees. The child...the queen said to herself that she will love her forever!"

   Ning An's eyes widened in disbelief.

   "That child... even once... once... tell the queen... she is not Ning An... she is Ning An's sister..." Empress Dowager Zhuang choked her throat and squeezed her fingers under her wide sleeves.

  Ning An's eyes gradually filled with tears, staring at the Queen Mother Zhuang startled.

  The Queen Mother took a deep breath, raised her head, turned around, and looked at the dim aisle: "The queen will save her and hurt her. She never needs to live in the shadow of Ning'an."

   "Queen mother!" Ning An's tears burst into her eyes, and she rushed over and reached out to grab the corner of Queen Mother Zhuang's clothes.

  The back of Mrs. Zhuang walked towards the exit expressionlessly.

  A drop of hot tears slipped, and she never looked back.
