Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 379 Long-term Narration
She opened her mouth, not daring to make a loud sound, but she couldn't stop the pain in her heart.
"Tell me, what happened back then?"
Concubine Chen was irritated by what was said. She felt as if someone was finally willing to listen to her complaints. She forgot that there were several palace servants watching over her and started crying and talking incoherently.
"That year, many years ago..."
Yes, that year many years ago, so long ago that she could hardly remember it.
One day, a middle-aged woman came to her home with a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Her family lived a good life in Jishui Village.
Dad is a hunter. He goes to Qingshan every few days and always catches some prey.
They can eat the meat at home, and the remaining meat can be exchanged with villagers for necessary items.
Her two brothers were also strong and worked for wealthy families in the town, but she was the only one who had nothing to do and was enjoying the love of the whole family.
Dad asked her to call the woman aunt, saying that she was his biological sister. They had been separated for many years, and her father was very happy to see her come back.
However, she hated the girl next to her aunt.
He was the same age as her, and even though he was wearing the same simple peasant clothes as her, his cool and elegant temperament was something she dared not look directly at.
Especially her aunt, who always took care of her humbly and personally.
Although she had never seen the woman get angry or complain about anything, she just felt very unhappy about it.
Half a year passed, and finally her persuasion and cajolery had paid off, and her father's attitude towards her aunt was no longer as warm as before.
Dad once thought of letting my eldest brother marry that girl.
Because the eldest brother fell in love with her at first sight. She was so gentle and beautiful, and there was no other woman as beautiful as her in the whole town.
Since she has come to their family, why not keep her as a member of their family?
However, my aunt strongly opposed it.
She thought that her eldest brother was not worthy of her and also said that she had no right to decide the girl's marriage, which caused a big quarrel between his father and aunt.
She hid under the window and heard the whole process of their quarrel.
When questioned, my aunt said that she was a princess of the previous dynasty and I was just a maid who took care of her. She said that when my aunt disappeared, she was sold into the palace of the previous dynasty.
The palace was a mysterious and magical place for her, a paradise-like existence.
She thought she was one of the most beautiful women in the village and had high expectations for her marriage.
If she could enter the palace, she would be the golden phoenix that flew out of this place, the future she longed for every day.
In her extreme fantasy, the days became more and more difficult. When her father wanted to marry her to the son of another butcher in the village, she secretly ran to the town and found her eldest brother.
She told her eldest brother about her aunt's crazy words, and the eldest young master of that family happened to hear it.
In less than a month, someone came from the royal capital, and he was the steward of the general's mansion. He was a very important person to her.
The man took her to the place she had always dreamed of, the Beiyan Palace.
The daughter of the Chen family met the Emperor as she wished, and was conferred a noble lady. Two maids and a palace maid brought her to this courtyard. From then on, she could never step out of here again, and never saw the Emperor again.
It was not until two months later that her aunt was also sent here.
Both of his legs were broken, I heard he fell from a mountain, and his body was covered with wounds, I heard he was tortured.
The people in the palace used threats and bribes to ask my aunt anything she wanted to know, but she never spoke again after that and has been kept here half-dead.
She gradually changed from a noble lady and the master of this courtyard to someone who could be bullied even by servants.
Until now she still couldn't figure out why.
I just vaguely felt regret, regret that I shouldn't have said too much, told others about the quarrel between my aunt and my father, shouldn't have been jealous of the girl who was the same age as me, shouldn't have coveted a life that didn't belong to her...
Qian You listened to her crying patiently, and thinking about the things she had investigated, she connected the dots and realized that this Nanny Chen was her biological mother's personal maid, who had been fleeing with her everywhere, and finally they settled in her hometown and took refuge in her brother's home, but she was harmed by her own family and her whereabouts were exposed.
No wonder this foolish woman is so wishful thinking.
The small mountain village of Qingshan was isolated from the rest of the world and she had no idea about the past and present. When she heard that a princess had come to her family, she wanted to pledge her loyalty so as to secure a good future for herself. This was expected and we could not blame her for being short-sighted.
"Where's your aunt? Still here?"
Qian You asked calmly.
"Here, in one breath, still alive."
She didn't know why.
This cannibalistic palace must keep her aunt alive.
She has been paralyzed for more than ten years, but her life is still being maintained.
Because the palace servants who served her required that the paralytic be kept alive, everyone served her very well.
All the trouble these people had suffered at her hands was vented on her.
She also has to serve these old maids.
Yes, after so many years, there were only two old maids left in the palace, and they either beat or scolded her.
"Take me to see it."
Qian You stood up and looked coldly at the two people in the corner who were trying to reduce their presence as much as possible. He signaled Qiao Nan to keep an eye on them and not to follow them.
Obviously, these two people are not the old people in this palace, but the ones sent by Emperor Beiyan to monitor her.
If they heard these secrets and knew things related to the previous dynasty, whether they would still live or not, and she had no kindness to remind them, it all depended on their fate.
Walking into the inner room, there was no peculiar smell common among paralyzed people lying in bed, but there was no feeling of comfort either.
There was a hard bed with peeling paint, curtains with many patches on them, and a shabby cabinet with the door ajar. Qian You glanced at it with disdain.
A skinny old man was lying on the bed. There was almost no bulge in his body under the quilt, and it was obvious that only a skeleton was left.
The old man is not awake much, and most of the time he is in a coma.
Concubine Chen approached the bed and slapped the old man's face directly with her hand. Qian You heard the sound and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The old man's throat gurgled, and Concubine Chen turned to look at the fairy-like woman and said, "She's awake."
Qian You walked closer to the bed and looked at the old man from above.
The old man's eyelids were drooping and he tried hard to open them.
Her eyes were cloudy and unfocused, and the area she could see was limited.
Qian You adjusted his head to a distance where she could see him and looked at her patiently.
The old man's eyes gradually shifted from confusion to focus, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, as if he was about to move.
Perhaps because he had not had any expression for a long time, his muscles were twisted and his dry mouth made a gurgling sound, showing his extreme anxiety.
Her hands were like dry claws, she tried to raise them to grab something, but because she was too weak, she could not move much and fell back to the bed.
