I wanted to embrace my master and return home

Before Aunt Tao recovered from her shock, she blurted out with her eyes wide open: "That's true."

"What did you say?"

"When you were born, you really had a tail with gray hair on it, and it was wet. Your mother and I were scared to death. Several mothers-in-law in the clothes bureau saw it."

Gao Motang stared at him for a long while before saying expressionlessly, "It's really ridiculous."

"It's ridiculous, Aunt Tao, if you want to make up a rumor to harm me, make up a more normal one, can anyone believe this kind of rumor?"

"It's not made up! It's true. Do you still remember the story of disaster stars back then, Guan'er, don't you really doubt it at all?" Ruan Tao'er said anxiously, her face seemed to be completely unfamiliar to him. look.

Little did they know that in Ruan Tao'er's eyes, Gao Motang had already become a stranger.

"Your mother committed suicide that year because of guilt. As far as I know her, it was because she gave birth to Chaoyang's destiny disaster star. She gave birth to a monster with a tail. She felt humiliated in her heart, but she couldn't bear it. Killing her own child, in the face of the country and selfishness, she chose her own selfishness, this is her guilt."

"Aunt Tao is not afraid to tell you that you should not have existed since you were born, but since you have survived, you should live well. Don't think about those unrealistic things. The position of crown prince and future emperor belongs to your tenth brother. Don't compete with your brother." Ruan Tao'er looked at him warily.

Gao Motang laughed suddenly, and he said slowly: "I don't know if my aunt heard this, if she appeared here at this moment, she would still recognize her former sisters."

"........."

"Aunt Tao, why don't you call her, maybe it was my aunt who was looking for you in her dream just now." He twirled his index finger, and the light refracted by the ruby ​​flashed into Ruan Tao'er's eyes, making her unable to help but look up. He rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Gao Motang pointed his finger at the surface of the lake, and said, "Aunt Tao, look, is my aunt here?"

Ruan Tao'er looked at the water with a pale face, but there was nothing, then turned her head to see Gao Motang's figure was gone, she took a step back in fright, at the same time a red light flashed into her eyes again, Ruan Tao'er didn't step on her feet. Steady, he fell directly from the bridge and fell into the water with a "plop".

"...Help! Help!" The woman in the water thrashed vigorously, gurgling blisters from her mouth.

Gao Motang just hid on the other side when she turned around just now. Ruan Tao'er had a ghost in his heart. He stood on the bridge and watched her flutter, restraining the desire to reach out, struggling inwardly.

Aunt Tao... Anyway, she is no longer Aunt Tao.

As if this can convince her heart, she has changed anyway, and even wants to spread rumors in the palace to ruin his reputation, so go to hell.

She deserves it!She forgot the love she once had with A Niang, so damn it!

At the moment when the footsteps of the palace people sounded from a distance, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

That night, Ruan Zhaorong drowned and died. The child in her womb could not be born before it was due.

The king suffered heavy blows one after another, and the joy that had finally appeared was cut off at this moment. No matter how hard he checked, he couldn't find any clues. Before Ruan Tao'er was buried, he kept looking at Gao Motang. The latter's eyes were red, and he couldn't tell. any exceptions.

Destiny disaster star...

The king couldn't help but think of the words of the national teacher: "The catastrophe of destiny is male, and the mother restrains the wife and the father restrains the brothers and feet, and the royal family's dragon veins are cut off."

Is it really a disaster star?

But the real scourge of destiny, hadn't he been eliminated many years ago?

The Ming Guoshi has made no plans in his life, is it true that the royal family is not blessed, and everything is just a coincidence...

Rao told himself in this way that he still chose the Eighth Prince after a year to establish the crown prince. He was always wary of the other son, even if he knew that he had done nothing, even if he knew that he was the most innocent.

The ruler of the country is getting older and older, gradually sharing the state affairs with his sons, and handing over some trivial matters to the crown prince. He knows that he is more optimistic about the way the fourth prince Gao Motang handles it, but he never dares to entrust him with important matters. Do it, and no real power will fall into his hands.

As time passed, Gao Motang accepted everything calmly and gently, but he hated this father in his heart.

After these years without the rejection of his younger brothers, he began to become moody, but these emotions would only be revealed in front of Mingqing. Mingqing loved him very much and knew that he had nowhere to vent his injustice.

"It doesn't matter, even if you are not the prince, you can still share the state affairs for your brother in the future. Your Majesty was only influenced by the rumors. I saw His Highness the Eighth Prince a few days ago and found that he has opened up his mind a lot. He hasn't changed his mind over the years. Conflicting with you, he must have trusted you in his heart." Ming Qing patted his back and comforted him.

"Who cares about his trust!" Gao Motang's eyes were shattered, and he smashed the inkstone on the ground: "I don't care about sharing state affairs or real power, I just can't stand Gao Tianyuan's eyes! He looks like... Look at me like a poison, like a poisonous scorpion! Like a poisonous centipede!"

"Don't call His Majesty by his first name!" Ming Qing got up in fright and closed the door.

"I obviously didn't do anything, why did I become a catastrophe? Aunt Tao also said that about me, and even made up such absurd things..." He squatted down and slowly hugged his head, slumping weakly in Mingqing's arms.

"You also know that it's a fabricated rumor." Mingqing said seriously: "Compared with the eighth prince, I would rather stay by your side and assist you, and follow you, an idle prince, to travel around the mountains and rivers, or to share the country's worries , I will always be by your side.”

"You can agree, no matter what, you will stay by my side."

"Naturally, this is a lifetime promise, Mingqing has no regrets."

Three years later, the prince went to Bianzhou to investigate the people's sentiments. On the way back, his mount was led away by a group of wild horses, and he ran directly to the rocky valley.

The mount was brought back for inspection. There were no hidden needles on it, nor was it drugged. The return journey was random, and there was no early ambush. Even if an early ambush was made, no one could control a group of wild horses without discipline. This matter has nothing to do with others.

At least, it had nothing to do with Gao Motang, he didn't have a single soldier under him, and no one would sacrifice their lives for a poor son in the palace.

After the king learned about this, he fell ill completely. He was in a daze all day and could not wake up. He hanged himself with soup and medicine.

When the king was a little more sober, he seemed to have a difficult determination to canonize him as the prince, but when Gao Motang saluted him in front of his sick bed, he found that his father's eyes, although cloudy and yellow, were similar to those of the one many years ago. Their eyes met.

This time there was something more, as if holding a great struggle, in the end there was only helplessness, powerlessness, and absoluteness.

This is a look that makes him extremely uncomfortable, as if telling him brightly:

Gu doesn't trust you, and it is helpless to isolate you as the prince. Gu hopes that you never existed in this world.

After the canonization ceremony, he moved to the Prince's Palace. Mingqing looked at his blank and blank eyes, and couldn't bear it: "Don't do this, since you have taken this position, you are the only king in the future. responsible."

He was silent for a long while, then he said slowly: "Mingqing, do you think this position really belongs to me?"

"Since you are sitting here at this moment, it was arranged for you by heaven, and I will always be by your side, for the rest of your life." Ming Qing firmly knelt down in front of him and made a big salute.

The king's life is getting worse day by day, he spits out the last sip of soup immediately after drinking it, his whole body is like a broken bone, already exhausted.

Suddenly one evening, the king lay on the bed and looked directly at the top of the palace. He suddenly thought of something and sat up from the bed. He called someone to bring paper and pens, and summoned the crown prince Gao Motang, Tai Fu Mingqing, and nine important officials of the court to meet him and speak in person. The will was read out, to the effect that: after the lonely death, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, Mingqing Taifu will assist him, and the country seal will be handed over to the Taifu for safekeeping. If the prince has any acts of harming the country, the Taifu can act on his own behalf and become king on his own.

This will was written very clearly. After reading it clearly, everyone didn't even dare to lift their heads, and they couldn't even believe what they heard just now.

Does Your Majesty know what he is talking about, what is it to walk the way for a lonely person and become a king on his own?A grand tutor can actually keep the seal of the country, even kill the monarch, and become a king on his own? !

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the prince? !

It's a pity that before someone questioned it, the lord had already gone, Gao Motang knelt down on the ground, without saying a word, he twisted his index finger abruptly.

After Gao Motang became the lord of the country, this will was made public, causing an uproar among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Mingqing pondered for the whole night, and finally put the seal of the country in the bedroom of Gao Motang, and said: "Although the former king gave it to the lower officials for safekeeping, he didn't specify where to keep it, so the lower officials put the seal of the country here with Your Majesty." , Your Majesty can do nothing."

Although it was said that he was not allowed to move, this move was to hand over the national seal to him. If Gao Motang really wanted to move the national seal in the future, he would have nothing to do with it.

But Mingqing believed that the Guan'er he knew, the Guan'er whom he grew up with must be a Mingjun.

But life in reality was developing in an unpredictable direction. When he looked back, Guo Yin was put away by Gao Motang, and the jar was also hidden by Gao Motang.

Everything... has changed.
