The reborn princess is hard to be

Li Chengming ate hastily, and couldn't wait to get to the room where Wu Qimu was.

Wu Qimu half leaned on the bed, drinking the porridge that Zhihua fed him.Li Chengming had always wanted to ask what the relationship between this person and himself was, but when he came to him, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

But Wu Qimu found him and turned to look at him.Uchimu's eyes hidden under the mask revealed a gentleness.

"Jinming, come, come here..." Wu Qimu said softly.After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhihua waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to eat any more.

The porridge had almost bottomed out, so Zhihua didn't force her, and gave up her seat by the bed.

Li Chengming sat down in response and looked at Wu Qimu.

Wu Qimu didn't speak, but stared at Li Chengming's face in silence for a while.It took a long time to sigh: "You and your mother look exactly the same."

"..." Li Chengming almost answered the sentence "You and my mother look almost exactly the same", but when he was in a hurry, he held back and asked, "Then, who are you?"

"I'm the twin brother of your mother and concubine. After all, you should call me uncle." Wu Qimu replied.

"Uncle?" Li Chengming didn't expect it to be similar to what he guessed in his letter.

Uchimu nodded.

Zhihua was puzzled and said: "Then why I never heard my mother mention you."

"..." Wu Qimu looked at Zhihua's appearance in silence, and suddenly said: "Your mother is Yuyao?"

"..." Zhihua was taken aback, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Li Chengming interjected, "Then you are also Zhihua's uncle?"

Wu Qimu felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, nodded, and replied: "In this way, it is indeed so."

"..." Zhihua and Li Chengming were surprised.

It's just that Zhihua still has doubts in his heart, why didn't he hear his mother mention it.

But Li Chengming said again: "Then you should be a big man, why did you change your name and surname and go to Turkic?"

"This matter... well... it's a long story..." Wu Qimu sighed, thinking that they are all grown up, but it's okay to know.Finally, he opened his mouth and started from the beginning.

"Your grandmother passed away when I was 12 years old. At that time, my sister and I were heartbroken because of the death of our mother, but within a few months, my father...that is, your grandfather, brought back a woman, There is also a girl who is two years younger than us. Your grandfather asked us to call her mother and call that girl younger sister. Only then did we know that father had a concubine outside, and he didn’t let us know..."

"..." Zhi Hua's heart trembled, he quickly raised his head to look at Wu Qimu, then lowered his head abruptly, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Wu Qimu has also been paying attention to her reaction. At this moment, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and pointed to the stool beside the bed: "Zhihua, right? You sit down and listen to me..."

Zhi Hua hesitated slightly, but nodded and sat down.

"At that time, I was still ignorant and ignorant. Different from my sister's gentle and pleasant temperament, I was young and energetic at that time, and I couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. My mother died not long ago, and my father brought other The woman came back, and already had such a big child. At that time, I felt betrayed by the whole world. I was against everyone at home every day, and I didn’t listen to my teacher’s lectures, which made the family restless all day long. The last time, I had a big quarrel with your grandfather, and threatened to sever the father-son relationship with your grandfather! I left home that night. Your grandfather was probably also angry, so he didn’t send anyone to find me. It happened that the imperial court raised troops to attack the Hu people, and I Then I became a member of the army, went to the border together, and broke up with my family completely. That year, I was only 14 years old."

Li Chengming could hear the remorse in Wu Qimu's words, and couldn't help but interjected, "What about after that?"

"After that?" Wu Qimu looked at an empty spot in the room, and continued to speak: "After that, I stayed at the border, killing the enemy and fighting on the battlefield. After a while, your mother began to write to me. In the letter Mentioned that the step-mother is very kind and treats her very well, she keeps the house in order every day. The first thing I do when I get up early every day is to wipe my mother's memorial tablet and burn the first incense stick for her. There is a sister who has been selected as a beautiful girl, and she will enter the palace soon, maybe she will become the emperor's concubine and marry as a wife. But I didn't reply to a single letter. I didn't know why at the time, but I just held my breath. Don't contact everything at home."

"Until my sister became a noble concubine and gave birth to a child. At that time, the Hu people had been beaten away and dared not invade the Central Plains again. Our soldiers and generals have sworn to death at the border for so many years, and finally guarded the cloud to see the moon, and we can take turns. I went home to visit relatives. At that time, it has been many years since I left home, and I have changed from a teenager to a young man who can take care of himself. I worked hard to apply for the first batch of soldiers to go home. I want to be with you soon Father admits his mistake, and wants to see if the stepmother is as virtuous and virtuous as my sister said, and takes good care of the family. I also think that if I can enter the palace to see my newborn niece..."

When Wu Qimu said this, the joy of winning the battle mentioned earlier all faded away, just like a dying person who has seen all the vicissitudes of life and returned to plainness.

Li Chengming was fascinated by listening at this moment, but a bad premonition arose in his heart, and he asked: "And then?"

"...I went home non-stop, but what greeted me was not a wedding banquet for a long-lost reunion, but a sealed, deserted, dilapidated home..."

"?" Li Chengming and Zhihua looked at each other in astonishment.

Wu Qimu closed his eyes, and said quietly: "Your grandfather was framed by a treacherous minister, and everyone in the family, except for my sister, was kidnapped by Ning Guta in the distance! I have been in the army, I don't know if the emperor has forgotten me, or someone stopped me According to the decree, I escaped unharmed."

"..." Zhihua's eyes suddenly turned hot. Did his mother escape the family turmoil just after passing away?

"How could it be? Then Shugui...couldn't the empress beg for mercy like...the father?" Li Chengming couldn't believe it.

"For mercy?" Wu Qimu snorted coldly: "Sister, I didn't even know the whole thing. Afraid that the matter would be exposed and make my sister sad. I ordered the mouth of the whole palace to be sealed, and anyone who mentioned this matter would be punished by the nine clans. And the father and stepmother were on the way to serve their sentences. They couldn't bear the severe punishment from the officers and soldiers. Passed away. Poor sister has been kept in the dark, and she didn't even know that her relatives died thousands of miles away. But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. In the end, my sister finally realized that something was wrong. Under the violent impact and anger, she was When I couldn't get sick, I went with my father and stepmother."

"..."

Li Chengming and Zhihua did not expect that there would be so many undercurrents.

"What about you? You were..."

"I was..." Wu Qimu frowned, with a sad expression on his face: "As soon as I returned to the capital, I was already being targeted. For some reason, I was charged with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and was thrown into a prison I was alone, my relatives were just framed by treacherous officials, dismissed from office and exiled, and my sister was kept in the dark. There is no one who can avenge me, I was left to die..."

"Then...how did you escape in the end..." Zhihua wiped the corner of his eyes, his voice choked up.

When Wu Qimu heard this, he paused, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "It's thanks to a stupid woman. At that time, I refused to admit that I was a traitor and collaborator, so they couldn't give me the death penalty. That The stupid woman couldn't wait for me to die, so she bribed a group of jailers and wanted to set fire to me and quietly burn me to death in the middle of the night. But at that time, someone else discovered her poisonous plan, so she followed her plan and replaced me with a dead body. I was seriously injured, and I had no intention of surviving. The man took me away from Dazhong, so as not to stay in this sad place."

"..." The room was silent, and several people were sobbing at each other, speechless.

Li Chengming didn't expect that the tragedy of his family being ruined and having nowhere to ask for help would happen to his nominal uncle, so he couldn't help but empathize with him and grieve for him.What kind of tribulations did he go through to be able to tell these things to the two of them so calmly.I'm afraid that the ugly scar on his face was also left at that time.

"Why do we know nothing about these things." Zhihua said with regret.

"..." Wu Qimu smiled and looked at Zhi Hua: "Silly girl, you were still such little ones back then, so what can you do if you know."

After Wu Qimu finished speaking, he looked at Zhihua and smiled softly: "Zhihua, you may wish to be like Jinming and call me an uncle who is full of mistakes."

"..." Zhihua was shocked for a moment, and then the tears could no longer be held back, like beads with a broken thread, gushing out: "Uncle!"

"Okay," Wu Qimu smiled, "Being able to hear you call me uncle before I die, it's been my wish for many years."

"What did uncle say? How could you die?" Li Chengming denied it anxiously.

"I know my body. I have suffered such a serious injury, and I don't know what you have given me. Now I am just hanging on to this breath. If this breath dissipates, I'm afraid I can only return to ashes , Soil to soil..."

"Will not!……"

"General Wei! You want to eavesdrop, and Mr. Zhao let you listen. Why bother the patient's final meeting with his relatives."

A sudden sound from outside the door interrupted the conversation of several people.

"Get out of the way, I just want to see A Yuan!"

"Who is A Yuan? I'm afraid we don't have this person here."

Li Chengming glanced at Wu Qimu, Wu Qimu just kept his face cold and didn't make any expression.

"A Yuan! You let me see you! I just want to see you!" Wei Xuanhuang yelled outside the door.

"General Wei is famous for the first time, why bother to do such entanglement and embarrassment to others, please leave, so as not to disturb the cleanliness of other people in the inn."

"A Yuan!"

Wu Qimu took a deep breath, finally closed his eyes, and said quietly: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down.Don't want to pay attention to the noise outside.

Li Chengming could only nod his head, and drew the door with Zhi.

As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Suran was seen standing in front of the door, blocking Wei Xuanhuang's figure.

Li Chengming poked his head out from Zhao Suran's shoulder, glanced at General Wei who was full of pain, and said lightly: "He is already asleep, if you still want to keep making loud noises so that he can't even rest, then you can continue Bar."

Wei Xuanhuang suddenly stopped.

He just choked up and said in a voice that was too soft to be heard: "A Yuan!"

After that there was no sound.

Zhao Suran looked at Li Chengming who was very intelligent today in surprise.

Li Chengming returned Zhao Suran's cold and arrogant look, turned around and closed the door, and left.
