Through the palace of the king of subjugation

It was night.

Unlike the residences of the masters in Yannian Palace or Guangming Palace, in Yongxiang, even fire and candles are precious objects. At three o'clock in the morning, the lights in the depths of Yongxiang are sparse.

On the night when he broke through the predicament in Jiangnan, Baiou began to walk into the vortex of the times step by step. He met Chen Bang for the first time that day, and sent Madam Su back to her residence after that day.

Thinking about it now, Li Yu held Chen Bang's dagger that night, and even the sword was engraved with his paranoid desire for protection.

White Gull only hates himself for being slow, for discovering it too late.

Relying on the image of that day, he walked to Madam Su's residence, and saw that there was still a faint fire burning inside, so he knocked on the door hesitantly.

There were rustling noises in the house, but no one opened the door for a long time.

Perhaps the old man rested early, so he shouldn't have disturbed him at all. Bai Gu turned around hesitantly, but he couldn't move his legs to leave.

He really wanted to know about Li Yu.

I'm afraid there will be no second person in this palace who knows better than Mother Su.

"Bai Jianwei?" The old man's friendly voice came from behind, "Look at this old servant's memory, I should be called Master Bai now."

Bai Gu turned around, saw Su Nai opened the door, smiled kindly at himself, her eyes were calm, without any surprise, as if she was waiting for him at the appointed place.

"Nurse Su." He stretched out his hand to support, "It's so late, didn't disturb your rest?"

"I haven't rested yet." Su Momo waved her hand, and entered the door with the support of Bai Gu, "When you get old, you don't sleep much, only two hours a day."

"Your leg—" Bai Gu looked at Madam Su's staggering steps, and then realized why it took so long to open the door, "Hasn't it healed after so long?"

"As people get older, it's not easy for those who are injured." Su Mama smiled disapprovingly, "But it's okay, thanks to my legs and feet, I don't have to get up early to pour the bucket, now I can do it." Some mending and washing jobs are easy."

"An old lady doesn't bother to tidy up when she lives here, Mr. Bai, don't dislike it." She said as she picked up the needlework bags and a few pieces of clothes piled up on the broken wooden stool, and smiled kindly at Bai Gu: "Sit down."

She greeted Bai Ou, and was about to get up with a small case, "The emperor still has some tea from Xiao Yao, this old slave is going to cook some for Lord Bai."

"No need." Bai Gu hurriedly stopped him, helped him to sit down, but he was speechless for a long time, not knowing where to start.

"Then this old slave will not be polite to Master Bai." Su Momo turned on the oil lamp on the small case, "If Master Bai wants to ask anything, just ask."

"Su Mama..." Bai Ou also stared at Su Mama in surprise, "You know I'm coming, and you know what I'm going to do?"

"This old servant knows about Lord Bai and the emperor..." Madam Su nodded, "This old servant knew that you were going to find him sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so late."

"You know?"

Bai Ou was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, the rumors in the womb are raging these days, and Madam Su is considered an old man in the palace, so it doesn't seem surprising to hear something.

"This old servant has lived in this palace for decades, and now most of it has been buried in the ground. How could he not know the truth that rumors cannot be trusted?" Su Momo seemed to be able to see through Bai Ou's mind, she said calmly : "Master Bai, don't be surprised, this old slave knows it, I'm afraid it was earlier than you—"

"The emperor told this old slave himself."

That was the first time Bai Ou got angry with Li Yu, because Li Yu refused to let him go to the city and insisted on the imperial conquest. Bai Ou hid in Chen Yu's mansion, and for a few days endured ignoring the little emperor.

At that time, he wanted to straighten out Li Yu's habit of taking everything on himself. Now that he thinks about it, in fact, Li Yu's extraordinary desire to protect has been revealed countless times since a long time ago——

Li Yuming is so dependent on him, even in nightmares and coma, he would unconsciously call his name, but he always forcibly put everything on his weak shoulders, in order not to let him share the burden, Don't hesitate to deceive.

Even, in order to do all this, Li Yu could deviate from his forbearance and calmness, and become hysterical and unreasonable.

Li Yu's abnormality couldn't be hidden at all, but the white gull was too slow to think deeply.

"Madam Su...you...don't blame me?"

Bai Ou felt a little inexplicably guilty. He knew very well that Su Nanny was more like Li Yu's grandmother than Zhou Zheling; the child he raised like his own grandson broke his sleeves, if Su Nanny wanted to blame him For him, he also recognized it.

"Master Bai and the emperor should really be a family." Su Mama laughed very plainly, "The emperor also asked me this question, old slave; at that time, the old slave only asked the emperor, and Lord Bai answered him. okay?"

"The old slave is also asking Master Bai now, will you always treat the emperor well in the future?"

Bai Ou didn't have parents or elders, so he couldn't understand the deep meaning of Su Momo's words, so he just nodded according to his heart.

"That's fine." Su Momo also nodded slightly, "The old slave will die in peace even if he is buried."

"When the emperor said that he was angry with Lord Bai that day, he also said that he only wanted to be nice to Lord Bai; you two always pretend to be each other in your heart, and you are not in debt to each other. How can I, an old woman, blame anyone or not? .”

"Yu'er...that's what he said at the time?" A trace of doubt flashed in Bai Ou's heart.

At that time, there was such a big fuss about who would lead the troops to the city, but in the end, it was just because Li Yu wanted to treat him well?

Was it because he was too sensitive, or even Li Yu himself didn't realize that his desire for protection was close to being paranoid.

"Yes." Su Momo affirmed: "At that time, the emperor only said that he wanted to be kind to Lord Bai. The old slave once advised the emperor to think from the standpoint of Lord Bai before doing anything, but the old slave also understands the emperor. You If the two continue to get along, the emperor will continue to make Lord Bai angry—"

"So this old slave knows that Lord Bai will come to find this old slave sooner or later, but he never thought that Lord Bai would be more calm than the emperor."

Madam Su was straightforward enough, Bai Ou can now be sure that it's not that she is sensitive, but that there is something wrong with Li Yu.

"I asked Xiao Yao before." He said frankly, "But he didn't want to say it."

"Yes." Su Momo nodded, "What did Master Bai ask?"

"I asked him—" Bai Ou said directly, "Who is Cui Zhu?"

"That's no wonder." Su Momo nodded, "That's the Emperor's Ni Lin, a taboo in the palace."

"Xiao Yao has also experienced Cui Zhu's incident. He is younger than the emperor. He was not yet six years old. He was almost terrified. He had a high fever for several days, and he almost died. He is now more cautious than anyone else. , probably also has the root of the disease that fell at that time, and it was too late to hide, so how could I dare to tell others about it."

Bai Ou Dan felt that there was a secret hidden in the little emperor, but he didn't want to make it serious.

"Then..." Bai Ou hesitated, "Madam Su..."

He didn't know if he should continue asking.

"Lord Bai, don't worry, this old slave will tell you everything he knows." Madam Su let out a long breath, "The emperor's heart disease, how many soothing decoctions the imperial physician has taken over the past ten years will not be enough. His temperament and body have followed the late emperor's, his mind is very heavy, but his body is weak, the old servant hopes in his heart that Master Bai can cure this disease."

"The old slave—" she turned on the light on the small case again, "start from the beginning."

*****

More than 20 years ago, when Beauty Xiao was favored, Madam Su was only the nun who was in charge of maid affairs, and had no chance to see the true face of Beauty Xiao who was rumored to make Huayue lose her face.

A few years later, when she took Su Rui to the Imperial Palace, she didn't know that Su Rui's appearance was only considered handsome, not all-powerful, but she had eyebrows and eyes very similar to Xiao Meiren.

Back then, Li Yu was successfully recognized by Zhou Zheling, and almost no one in the court and the public criticized him, not only because he was intimidated by the power of the Zhou family, but also because the appearance of Li Yu and the late emperor were almost carved out of the same mold, but——

That pair of eyebrows and eyes are very much like his mother, and also like the stunning beauty Xiao.

No wonder Bai Ou always felt that he had never seen a pair of eyes more beautiful than Li Yu's.

"So the first emperor..." Bai Ou didn't continue to ask.

"It's that simple." Su Momo shook her head, "The late emperor was kind, and he had a deep love for Xiao Mei..."

Even if Su Rui and Xiao Meiren are three points similar, the former emperor did not have the idea of ​​taking it as his own or replacing it, but just took care of some lighter errands overtly and secretly.

"Until—" Su Momo suddenly lowered her voice, "The late Emperor discovered the real cause of Xiao Meiren's death."

Even if he sent Li Yu to warm the bed, Zhou Zheling would cut off the possibility of them having children in advance, so how could he allow women other than the former empress to give birth to dragon heirs first.

Sure enough, Xiao Meiren's death was by no means an accident.

"Does Yu'er know?" Bai Ou asked.

"No matter how tightly guarded this matter was back then, the late emperor still knew about it. Now that so many years have passed, the late emperor has been away from the capital for more than ten or twenty years... It's no longer a secret." Madam Su replied: "The emperor Growing up in this harem, with a narrow mind, how could it be possible not to investigate at all."

"Then..." Bai Gu was at a loss for words for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, what happened back then is probably nothing.

"Lord Bai guessed right." Su Momo affirmed: "The late emperor was kind, but kindness sometimes has another name—"

weak.

Compared with Li Yu's forbearance and dormancy, the former emperor really dared not speak out against Zhou Zheling's actions. There was no "white gull" around him to give him courage, and even lost his love forever when he found out.

He didn't have the courage to resist Zhou Zheling on the bright side, but he couldn't forgive himself for being cowardly. He was almost insane in the torture of the hatchback.

He drank heavily every day, and finally, half asleep and half awake, he regarded Su Rui as Xiao Meiren.

It's not that he didn't wake up for a moment, but the emperor knew that Zhou Zheling had always wanted the daughter of the Zhou family to give birth to a son. It was true that he only loved Xiao Meiren before, but he didn't want his affection to become a spell for Xiao Meiren's death.

Now, he just wants a humble court lady to give birth to the emperor's only child, as a silent protest against Zhou Zheling.

Bai Gu only felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

No wonder the little emperor couldn't let go of his mother, no wonder Li Yu always cared about his own life experience.

His birth meant the end of his mother's life, and he himself was just a tool for his father's revenge...

This can naturally explain the root of Li Yu's inferiority complex that he is not worthy of love, but both Su Rui and the first emperor are dead, who is Li Yu's paranoid desire to protect?

"The emperor was only seven years old when he was recognized as enthroned, so how could he understand this." Madam Su continued to explain: "He was raised by an old slave in Yongxiang, but he is just the most ordinary child."

Because of her shady status, Madam Su could only reluctantly lock the young Li Yu in the woodshed where the sun was out of sight, with only a raccoon cat with white spots on its forehead and a broken swing in front of the door as companions.

"The emperor was five or six years old when he picked up Xiaobai, and he kept talking to that cat in a childish voice." Su Momo's dry and muddy eyes filled with tears, "He is just a child, he wants friends, Want to go out and play, curious about everything outside."

Until the age of seven, the former emperor passed away, Li Yu was recognized and ascended the throne hastily.

According to the ancestral system, the prince will be accompanied by children of the same age from the aristocratic family, and will also choose a few maidservants of the same age to be by his side.

"The ones chosen to be beside the emperor at that time—" Su Momo said softly, "It was Xiaoyao and Cuizhu."

Xiao Yao is well-behaved and sensible, while Cui Zhu is lively and loves to laugh.

Because the laughter was as crisp as the jade beads colliding, the name Cuizhu was given by Li Yu when he was seven years old.
