Tread thousands of dust

Chapter 128 Drowning

Peixuan knelt and didn't dare to raise her head. Mo Fengyi was no longer the kid who could be coaxed. Now he has an unapproachable aura, which makes Peixuan fearful for no reason.

Pei Xuan calmly said: "I don't know anything, Your Highness should stop asking."

"Really?" Mo Fengyi looked at her coldly, "Then you have guarded my mother here for almost 20 years, don't you feel ashamed of her? I am her only son, so I am not even worthy to know about it?"

Peixuan's tears flowed down again for the first time in more than ten years: "Little son, I was born to you by my servant, and I was watched by your servant when you grew up. You are the only concern of Your Highness the Princess, so I can't be hurt by this servant." You!"

Mo Fengyi said inexplicably: "Harming me...you have kept it from me for so many years...are you protecting me or harming me?"

Pei Xuan tearfully bowed: "It's the servant girl's fault! It's the servant girl who shouldn't talk too much to His Highness! If His Highness wants to blame, blame me! Just don't ask these things anymore, just forget about it!"

"Your worship... how can I afford it." Mo Fengyi sighed, "Forget it, old Pei, let's go."

"Leader." Pei Zhixu frowned worriedly, "We cannot return without success."

Mo Feng smiled wryly and said: "But people don't want to say it, and the personal servants who grew up with my mother refused to tell me the truth. It seems that I can only be kept in the dark for the rest of my life. .”

Pei Zhixu said anxiously: "Leader! You have had nightmares all these years because you forgot what happened in the past. If you don't understand now, I'm afraid you will still have a headache when you go back, but it will be over!"

Mo Fengyi shook his head helplessly: "That's what I deserved, who made me forget?"

Pei Xuan raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness..."

"Aunt Peixuan, I was the one to be rude. I shouldn't have questioned you like this. Anyway, my mother is dead, and I should live my life well." Mo Fengyi knelt down and tried to help Peixuan up, but the maid Always unwilling, just kneeling all the time, Mo Fengyi snorted coldly, "But as Lao Pei said, I have been dreaming all these years, dreaming that I was drowning, and then dreaming that my mother was drowning...but No one will save us."

Peixuan suddenly raised her head in surprise, and froze as if struck by lightning, her voice seemed to be stuck: "You remember..."

Seeing that she refused to get up, Mo Feng did not force her, and continued on his own: "Yes, I remembered many things. For example, my mother didn't die of illness at all, but drowned, and she didn't die in the Mo Mansion, but the Imperial Palace, and even drowned, he didn’t fall into the water by himself..."

Peixuan's face was covered with tears, and the filial piety on her body that remained unchanged throughout the seasons was finally stained by the dust on the ground. She broke down in pain: "Little son..."

Peixuan's eyes were blurred, and Mo Feng's cold voice came from above her head:

"Someone pushed her down."

"Don't say it, don't say it..." Peixuan cried out of control and yelled, "It's not like this! It's not like this! Her Royal Highness died of illness! Don't say any more!"

Mo Fengyi was also very angry and said: "You have been guarding her tomb for ten years, don't you even dare to tell the truth!"

"It's not that the servant dared not say..." Pei Xuan cried so hard that her voice trembled, "It was the fault of my life that the servant failed to save the princess. How could she still harm her only son now?"

Mo Fengyi squatted down again to support Peixuan's thin shoulders. How could he not know that Peixuan was doing it for his own good?Where did he want to persecute this man who was loyal to his mother?

"I am her son. Back then I was too young to avenge her, but now I can! I have the ability to do this, but first you have to tell me what happened back then!"

Peixuan slowly stopped crying, but she was still sobbing uncontrollably. She sucked her nose a few times before shaking her head with a wry smile: "Even the son-in-law can't avenge the princess... How is it possible, Your Highness?"

"My father knew this? Did he know everything back then?" Mo Fengyi felt inconceivable. If Mo Xian knew everything, why did he remain indifferent and let Shu Yilian die with regret, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum for no apparent reason.

"His Royal Highness." Pei Xuan said in a deep voice, "The son-in-law loves the princess deeply, so he naturally knows everything about the princess."

"Then why has he kept it from me for so many years!" Mo Fengyi roared in pain, "Why didn't he avenge my mother? I don't even know how my mother died, how can I be worthy of her!"

Pei Zhixu looked at Mo Fengyi who had fallen into madness, and helplessly pulled him up: "Leader..."

Pei Zhixu just wanted to comfort him, but suddenly found that Mo Feng was crying.

It wasn't actually crying, it was just uncontrollable tears when he roared.Mo Fengyi's tears fell silently, not in harmony with his fierce words and actions.

Pei Zhixu held Mo Fengyi tightly, and the child was struggling wildly in his arms: "It's the queen, right! It was the queen who killed my mother! It was she who threatened you not to speak out! It was she who made my father abolish his martial arts!" Leave the imperial city! She caused me to lose everything, right!"

Pei Xuan was completely stunned, how could Mo Fengyi know all this?

"Is it her? Talk!" Mo Fengyi was on the verge of madness. He also knelt down to Peixuan, holding her arm and crying like a helpless child, "Did she kill my mother... ...why are you keeping it from me..."

Pei Xuan caressed his face with trembling hands: "Little prince, don't cry... The princess will definitely not want to see you cry for her..."

"Why... you all lie to me..." Mo Fengyi's tears wiped away and fell, as if gushing out all the pain accumulated over the years.

Pei Xuan sighed softly and wiped away tears for him: "Your Highness really looks like a princess... I couldn't tell when I was a child, but now I am more and more like him... But why don't you even have a temper?" Born as stubborn?"

Mo Fengyi's face turned pale, the sun was cold, he was afraid his body couldn't take it anymore, Pei Zhixu hurriedly helped him up, but Mo Fengyi couldn't even stand up, so he could only barely lean on Pei Zhixu. Xu stopped.

The tears on Mo Fengyi's face made him look pitiful, making people feel distressed, Pei Xuan sighed with a long sigh: "Does Your Highness really want to know?"

"I don't want to feel guilty when I see my parents again." Mo Fengyi wiped his tears with his hand, "My parents are watching me in the sky. How can they rest in peace if this matter cannot be found out?"

"Your Highness is so thoughtful, it's the princess and the consort's blessing." Pei Xuan suddenly smiled, "Actually, the Empress and Her Majesty have always been in harmony. temperament, they finally became close."

"His Royal Highness left the palace after she got married. On weekdays, she came to the palace to condolences to the Queen. The slaves always thought that they could get along with each other in this way. Even after His Highness was born, people like the Empress who have always disliked children are still willing to see you. .....The maidservant originally thought that she could always be like this..."

Pei Xuan was dazed when she spoke, and she could tell from the expression on her face that she was deep in memories, and she spoke very slowly, so Mo Fengyi just listened quietly.

"At the end of that winter, the emperor suddenly sent a son-in-law out of the city to handle errands. Originally, he wanted to take the prince out for fun. Unfortunately, you were too naughty at the time, so he kept you with the princess. The son-in-law said at the time that he would be ready before the Chinese New Year. When I come back, I will bring some small gifts for you and the princess..." Peixuan kept smiling when talking about these things, the memories are always so beautiful,

"It's a pity that the son-in-law came back late... On the morning of the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the princess was announced into the palace. It was said that it was snowing. The empress invited all the noble ladies of the royal family to enjoy the snow together. Go... At that time, the princess's hand stove was cold and let the servants change it..." Peixuan said, her voice trembling and she shed tears, "Who would have thought that when the servants come back, they can only Seeing the princess being salvaged...a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the Shufa Pond...the princess fell down for some reason..."

Mo Fengyi had been listening quietly, but in the end he just snorted coldly: "I fell down for some reason? Could it be that my mother was the only one by the lake at that time? Could it be that no one went to rescue her?"

"His Royal Highness..." Pei Xuan cried and raised her head to look at him, "When the princess fell into the pool...Only you were by her side..."

Mo Fengyi was stunned: "What did you say?"

"The Empress arrived there later to save people...but it was too late..."

"I was the only one there?" Mo Fengyi's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, "Did I watch my mother fall into the water?"

Obviously in the dream he was drowning and could not be rescued, but in reality he just stood by and watched his mother fall into the water?

It's actually quite the opposite!

"These slaves don't know...but the empress told the slaves later, no one was there at the time, she said that Her Royal Highness accidentally fell into the water, and you were too young to save them... "

"She lied!" Mo Fengyi yelled and retorted, "She pushed my mother down!"

"His Royal Highness!" Pei Xuan said heartbroken, "No one can explain these things. At that time, after you were taken away by the emperor's people, you fell ill and had a high fever, and you fell asleep for three or four days. You didn't wake up... ....The imperial physicians said that you were stimulated, so you fell into a deep sleep." Pei Xuan said politely, "It's a pity that the palace blocked the news, and the son-in-law didn't receive the news until ten days later... The emperor announced to the world that the princess died of illness, and warned us not to say anything..."

Mo Fengyi closed his eyes for a long time, as if he was trying to digest the huge news, then opened his eyes and said, "How could my mother take me out alone when the palace was enjoying the snow?"

Peixuan's eyes were cloudy with tears: "It was originally a bit stuffy in the room. Your Highness, you came out because you wanted to play with Princess Snow. I didn't expect it to be like that later!"

"No one saw it, right?" Mo Fengyi looked at her with a sneer, "Did those people also suspect that I pushed my mother into the water?"

"How is this possible! Don't think too much, Your Highness!" Peixuan was afraid that Mo Feng would think wildly, "It's just that no one saw the situation at the time, so the emperor didn't dare to make a conclusion, but just said not to make this matter public. Slaves She was also detained in the palace back then, until the emperor issued an order to announce that the princess died of illness, and the slaves asked to guard the mausoleum before they were able to leave the palace."

Mo Feng said coldly: "I don't believe it... there is no way this matter has nothing to do with her!"

"His Royal Highness! You can't be held accountable even if it's related to the empress!"

Mo Fengyi continued to ask: "At that time, what you saw was that the queen sent people to rescue my mother, right? Was she still alive at that time?"

Pei Xuan shook her head: "When the water came out, there was no one there..."

"So my mother didn't call for help when she fell into the water? No one came to rescue her? Did she die so quickly after falling into the water? Even if the lake is cold in winter, it won't freeze so quickly, right?"

Pei Xuan was left speechless by the question: "His Royal Highness should have seen these things...... but who knew that you would wake up with a high fever and not remember anything, you even forgot that the princess had fallen asleep. Narcissus went, so the emperor rest assured that the princess died of illness!"

"So it's all my fault... It's all my fault that I forgot the scene where my mother fell into the water." Mo Fengyi sighed, "What did my father do then? Isn't he curious? He didn't check the ins and outs of this matter." ?"

"Of course the son-in-law doesn't believe the words that the princess fell ill and died suddenly, so he gathered many people in the world to investigate with him...but this investigation implicated the prince-in-law and you... "

"What do you mean? Did my dad find out anything?"

"The son-in-law has a very high reputation in the martial arts world, so many people helped him. Within half a month, it was found out that this matter was related to the empress." He often enters the palace, but always has quarrels with the empress. It seems that there is some conflict. Originally, the son-in-law absolutely did not believe that it was the empress who intended to get rid of the princess. A letter that can be sent."

"letter?"

Mo Fengyi's heart beat instantly accelerated, and he knew that it was impossible for his parents not to have family letters during that time!

"It's a letter from the family, and the princess would write it to her son-in-law on weekdays, but that one can no longer be sent." Peixuan said disappointedly, "Although I visited the queen with the princess back then, the slaves could only stay outside the palace. Waiting...the servants don't know that the two of them have had a rift for a long time!"

Mo Fengyi hurriedly said: "Have you read that letter from home? Where is it now?"

Peixuan shook her head: "It was a letter between the princess and the son-in-law. The servant did not read it, but the servant knew that it was because of this family letter that the son-in-law also confirmed that the princess was killed by the queen. He told the servant to keep this secret and never say it. go out."

Mo Feng's eyes were tearing apart: "Why! Since he knows everything, why doesn't he avenge my mother!"

He originally thought that maybe Mo Xian didn't know that Shu Yilian's death was not an accident, he thought Mo Xian was also kept in the dark, but it turned out that he was the only one.

"Because of you, Your Highness..." Pei Xuan cried again, "The son-in-law said that his life doesn't matter, but he can't disregard your life."

Mo Fengyi felt ridiculous and sad. He looked at Pei Zhixu speechlessly, but Pei Zhixu just stood there indifferently and let him lean against him, silently.

"...Then is that letter from home still there?"

Pei Xuan raised her head suddenly: "I remember that when the son-in-law came to visit the princess in the imperial tomb for the last time, he said that the family letter was the only thing he would take away."

It was taken?Take Pan Xiaotai?Then why didn't he find it?

Mo Fengyi could only continue to ask: "Then why did my father abolish his martial arts back then?"

Pei Xuan shook her head dejectedly: "The slaves came in together when the princess entered the imperial mausoleum, I don't know much about the son-in-law, he only came once before leaving the imperial city, but the son-in-law had already lost at that time Martial arts, I still remember that he was very weak at that time, the servants have never seen such a consort."

Pei Zhixu obviously felt the trembling of Mo Feng's body, and he said: "It seems that only my father knows this?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. There is really nothing you can do. What's more, even the son-in-law said not to mention this matter. It has been so many years. Even the son-in-law back then couldn't shake the queen at all, let alone you now?"

"He wasn't the leader back then, but I am now." Mo Fengyi said indifferently, "I won't trust others like my mother, let alone lose my life for nothing, and even the cause of death will be concealed after I leave. "

Pei Xuan let out a long sigh: "The servant has served the princess for many years. Back then, she insisted on marrying that man from the rivers and lakes. The emperor and the queen dowager originally disagreed. Even the servant could not figure out why. But after the son-in-law came to the imperial city, it was natural for the princess not to marry her." More to say, even everyone in the mansion is like a family. After the birth of the eldest son, the mansion is full of joy and laughter. Isn’t it because His Highness hasn’t returned to the imperial city for so many years because the Mo manor is no longer what it used to be? Since you have already left, how about just Why not return to the rivers and lakes like the son-in-law back then, where the sky is high outside and birds can fly?"

"The old man loves wine, but don't offer a humble dog for nothing." Mo Fengyi muttered, "You know how my mother treats the queen. She died because of this person, don't you hate it?"

"Your maidservant is just a servant girl, and I have no right to hate you. I only know that you are the most important thing to Her Royal Highness. She is no longer here, and these extraneous things are not important to her! If you die to justify the name of the princess, can she just die?" Did you rest in peace?"

Mo Fengyi said indifferently: "You said before that you didn't know about the things my father investigated, but the family letter is the most important thing, right?"

Pei Xuan worried: "Are you going to find that letter from home?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head: "I can't find it, it doesn't matter, but if you don't know, I believe there is someone who knows."

Peixuan got up from the ground unsteadily, and she tentatively asked, "Are you... looking for the queen?"

"Of course, since it is confirmed that my mother's death is related to her, I should definitely go to her."

"Your Highness, you can't go!"

Peixuan knelt down again with a "plop", "Back then the queen could get away with killing the princess, so now you are going to die, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, I've seen enough of the queen's hypocrisy over the years. She pretends to care about me, she really looks like a compassionate mother." Mo Feng looked at the tablet coldly, " But I know she doesn't deserve it."

"Your Highness..."

"Stop persuading me. I've already made up my mind. I believe you actually want me to go, but you're just afraid that I'll die." Mo Fengyi's tears dried up completely, and he returned to his expressionless expression. look.

"But you have no evidence, how can the queen admit it?"

"You don't have to worry about these things. Just pretend that I haven't been here today. If I'm still alive, I'll definitely come to see you and my mother again. I'll trouble you to put some incense on my mother. My son is not filial after all."

"Little son!"

Pei Xuan tried to call him again, but the man had already turned around and left quickly, the weak look just now was gone, and Mo Feng walked away asynchronously, regaining his strength and walking away without looking back.
