Crown Princess

Duke Rong's mansion has long been inferior to its predecessors, if not for the Duke of this generation marrying Chu Yu'an, a great general who controlled half of the country's soldiers and horses, he would have been in decline long ago. In addition, his daughter Bai Luo also married into the royal family. Although it sounds good and hard to say, but in the end she is also the concubine who is on the jade plate. Looking around the court and the public, no one dares to belittle her.

As soon as the letter of mourning was sent out, there was an endless stream of public servants who came to express their condolences, but no one dared to go past Chu Yu'an, and they all went forward to salute and chat.

Because the Emperor Daxing died before him, the funeral of the Duke's Mansion was not easy to handle. According to Chu Yu'an's intention, he would be released after three days of inactivity, and things were done in a hurry.After ordering Bai Jin to feed Bai Luo the medicine, she was asked to sit in the front hall in sackcloth and mourning.

Looking at Duke Rong's mansion full of people coming and going, Bai Luo felt chills in her heart, how could she not see her father's intentions, she took this opportunity to sit down, I'm afraid there are very few people who came here today. from his will.

"Sister A Luo, my condolences."

Probably because of the medicine, Bailuo's reaction was not as good as in the past, even a little slow, and her movements to look at Chu Junchen were a little weak, but in the eyes of outsiders, she became sad and desolate.

"It's Ah Chen."

Looking back past Chu Junchen, I saw that the people from Gaochanghou's mansion were almost here, and Bai Luo wanted to get up to greet her, but Chu Junchen grabbed her wrist, half-supporting and half-arming her, and pushed her back Tang took it.

"It's a good thing that Bai Jin is busy outside, otherwise my father's mission would not be completed... Sister A Luo, have you been drugged?"

Although Chu Junchen is not careful, but in the early years when he and Bai Luo went to and from the military camp, he used tricks. I don't know how many people have given medicines like cartilage powder. Seeing Bai Luo's current appearance, she just Almost guessed.

Bai Luo took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the chair, nodded her head with difficulty, looked at Chu Junchen who had other plans, and said with great effort, "Uncle, do you have something to ask? Tell me quickly."

According to Bai Jin's temperament, when there are many people with mixed hands, she would never leave Bai Luo alone in the corner, but there are so many people here today, Bai Luo, the prostitute, is "inconvenient", so her long The girl came forward, but unexpectedly, Chu Junchen boldly took advantage of her loopholes.

Chu Junchen looked around, then whispered into Bai Luo's ear, "My father said that he would help His Highness the Crown Prince, and let you find the right time to return to the palace. The enthronement ceremony will be held as scheduled."

Hearing this, Bai Luo was stunned for a while, and couldn't help thinking that when she was given the marriage, although her grandfather and uncle resisted, they were still loyal and patriotic. After she married into the East Palace, her grandfather even asked her to assist the new emperor to ascend the throne. The handwritten letter that can leave, can be considered to value her as a granddaughter, and so does the eldest uncle.

Originally, Bailuo thought that his father would explain the matter to his grandfathers, but it seemed that he failed, which made his uncle express his determination to help Wei Mingzhen proclaim himself emperor.

"Ah Chen, thank grandfather and uncle for me, this matter concerns the Chu and Bai families, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."

How could Bailuo not know that no matter who wins this war, the Chu family and the Bai family will suffer or benefit in the end. Her mother will show her will by death, and her father will never let go. The final result will only be two-phase injury .

"Sister A Luo! My grandfather said that this matter is related to the century-old reputation of the Chu family. If it weren't for the special period, I'm afraid there would be trouble with the second uncle. After all, you have married into the East Palace. How can our family sit idly by? Besides, you I don't even look at what kind of person Bai Jin is, if she does..."

"Ah Chen, speak carefully."

Bai Jin's identity is still in the twilight period, and it has not been announced clearly. It is certain that the Chu family will know about Chu Yu'an's support for her as soon as possible, but it is a pity that this matter cannot be said casually.

Chu Junchen was also anxious, stomping his feet and said, "Anyway, no matter what, I will ask my grandfather to stop me. Compared to Bai Jin, I like Wei Mingzhen!"

"By the way, what happened to what I told you to do earlier?" Bai Luo suddenly remembered that matter, and couldn't help asking.

"Are you talking about the third sister? Don't worry, since you told me, I quietly sent her away from Ningyuan Temple. The Xia Palace said that the treatment is almost done, and she can already recognize people, Sister A Luo I have to thank you."

Bai Luo shook her head, how can I thank you?Her concubine cousin is also a miserable person, if she didn't see Bai Jin's people attacking the sixth prince, she probably wouldn't have suffered like that.After Bailuo returned to the palace, she ordered Chu Junchen to smuggle her to the summer palace. She did not forget the couple with outstanding medical skills.

"Okay, help me to the front hall, there is no shortage of people in front of Aniang Ling."

During this special period, Bai Luo could only hide everything. Her love for Wei Mingzhen, her love for A-Niang, and her disappointment for her father. Things are things and people are not things. She thought she could make everything better, but she didn't want everything to deviate from the track.

She really wanted to know, did A Niang, who had lived her whole life in scheming and revenge, have any regrets when she closed her eyes?

When they returned to the coffin, Chu Yu'an, who had gone to the side hall to discuss matters, hadn't returned yet, but Bai Jin was surrounded by people in front of the hall. When she saw Bai Luo's figure, her cold eyes finally warmed up. When looking at Chu Junchen next to Bailuo, it's not very good.

"Oh, what does her look mean? Look at me again..."

For so many years, Chu Junchen has always been at odds with Bai Jin. She despises Bai Jin's sinister methods. Whenever the two of them meet on the same occasion, there will always be some open and hidden arrows.Bai Luo tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to get excited. If she guessed correctly, Bai Jin would never have paid attention to her, the concubine of the Gaochang Marquis Mansion.

"I don't know what Second Uncle thinks, my daughter doesn't help, but goes to help others, hum!" Chu Junchen said angrily.

During this period, until the mourners dispersed, Gao Changhou Chu Yuzhang never came to talk to Bai Luo. After saying goodbye to Chu Yu'an, he asked Bai Luo's aunt to take Chu Junchen over, and the group left until they were far away. Yes, I just turned back.

Bai Luo happened to meet her eldest uncle who was looking at her from a distance, and she understood many things at that glance...

"You are inconvenient, burn some papers for your mother, then go back to the house."

Today's Chu Yu'an is dressed in a coarse white robe. Although he is a general now, he is the husband of Duke Rong after all. It is necessary to wear hemp to guard the spirit. However, in just two days, this man who is only forty years old has already passed away. He is no longer handsome as before, but he is indifferent and cold. It is not difficult to see how sad his heart is.

"Father."

Even though she was reluctant, Bai Luo was sent back to her room, it was already evening, after a little dinner, she sat on the railing by the water.Looking at the setting sun gradually setting among the layers of fiery clouds, that one felt that it was surprisingly beautiful, but also strangely inauspicious.

Looking at the yard where there were too many traces of their family of three, Bai Luo was slightly absent-minded.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, got up in a panic, almost fell several times because she couldn't use her strength, and ran to the atrium of the yard with all her thoughts. Weeds, she finally stopped by the pillar under the Linshui Pavilion.

The mottled red-painted pillar feet and the loose loess make it easy to see that it has been touched not long ago.For a moment, Bailuo's heart beat a little faster. She knelt down on the ground and pulled it up vigorously, ignoring her muddy hands until she stopped after digging a few centimeters.

In the wet mud, a corner of the letter box was exposed. Although the mud was covered, Bai Luo could still recognize the sequined shell embedded in it at a glance.

——Why did Auntie bury things here?

——In this way, Luo'er's father will not be found. This is the secret of A Niang and Luo'er.

--secret?Why can't Dad know?

——Because your father is too bad, he will take away the treasure that A Niang gave Luoer.

The memory began to come back at this moment. Bailuo's trembling and outstretched hand began to overlap with herself when she was five years old. The smiling lady beside her was so beautiful and beautiful. soil.

Everything remained the same as before, it was still the same place, the same box, but the contents of the box were different, Bai Luo opened the pair of wishful locks with her muddy hands, looked at the envelope lying quietly inside, and suddenly The tip of the nose felt sore, and the sockets of the eyes were hot and uncomfortable.

"Give it to me, Luoer, Auntie knows that she has owed you too much these years, so she will not let your father tell you until she dies, for fear of shame. Luoer, the greatest blessing in this life, Auntie, is to It’s because of your father and you. When I was pregnant with you, I thought that I must gather all the treasures in the world with my son, and it would be good to protect you to grow up, be happy and safe, but it’s a pity that good luck tricks people..."

Papa, papa, fine teardrops hit the letter paper carefully pasted with flowers and plants, Bai Luo trembled her hands, and clenched her teeth.

"In the year when I returned to Beijing, too many things were destined to change, but I never expected that the future would be like this, and I died as soon as I died, but in the end, A Niang couldn't bear Luoer. , it was Ah Jin who accompanied me on a fast horse, and hid in the general's mansion to watch. A few years ago, I could see you smiling happily. Later, my eyesight also failed, and I couldn't see your appearance, but I could hear your voice A Niang is satisfied in her heart..."

No wonder, no wonder every year on her birthday, Bai Luo always felt strange, she found that her father would always look at the courtyard and get distracted, it turned out that it was A Niang who was hiding there, that's how it was.

"I didn't want to leave a letter at first, but A Niang was afraid that my Luo'er would forget me. I wrote all kinds of things these days, and I don't know if Luo'er will remember this place. If I see this letter in my lifetime, I will look to my son at that time." Don't forget me, even if it's hatred."

Bai Luo whimpered and bit her arm. Over the years, there has not been a single day in her that she has not missed her mother who is far away in the sky. She hopes that her family will be reunited and she will grow old safely, but halfway through the journey, she has no time to cherish it. The people who went there went like this, and used such a cruel method, how could Bai Luo not hate her!

"Knowing that this will happen, what are you doing for it? A Niang..."
