When Bai Ya learned that Qiu Weiyu himself had been dead for a long time, instead of feeling at ease, Bai Ya felt even more confused - and angry. He didn't even know where this anger came from, and maybe it was worth his anger.
There are too many parts.
The first thing they told Bai Ya was about the Queen Mother's illness. Could it be that all this was planned by the singer Kinnara? After all, during her reign, she was already ill before the consort left her.
Regarding this point, Liu Shenghan also
There is doubt about this. Although it was about ten years ago when the identity of the "gods" was publicly announced in the Nine Heavens Kingdom, each of them appeared and existed for much longer than a mere ten years. What's more, the Queen Mother also admitted that she
He suddenly became ill.
"That night, I finished approving the papers as usual." At that time, she said to the two girls, "I was too tired, so I leaned over the desk to rest for a while. For a long time, I couldn't settle down. They
No one believes me, the people's will
It was difficult to get together, the officials were unpredictable, and there were troubles both above and below. There was famine in the east city, floods in the west city, and there was no time to relax in matters both inside and outside. When I woke up, the night was still deep, and the cold wind blew in from the window.
There are few stars and dancing shadows of trees. I
I had an extra blanket on my body and called the palace maid, who said it was brought by my husband. The movement was very gentle and did not wake me up. I looked out the window and heard a melodious, distant singing. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.
Sorry - there are many people in the world who feel that I am not worthy of being the king of a country. That is their business, and I will prove it to them. But I have a choice to be a good wife and a good mother... but now I have to
Put this aside."
"singing?"
Liu Shenghan caught this information and asked further. She asked the Queen Mother when she noticed the sound. Did it appear suddenly, or had it been for some time, and whether she could hear it again after that. The Queen Mother said she couldn't remember.
It’s clear, because in the dead of night, you can occasionally hear singing from afar. But it was different that time. Although it was soft singing without words,
But it has a strong penetrating power. Logically speaking, such a sound cannot be transmitted in like a loud singing voice. She also listened to it later, but didn't pay much attention to it. After all, business was important, and she couldn't study the outside carefully every day.
Sound. Sometimes it is the singing of people, which is sweet and sweet, like the mourning of birds; sometimes it is the music played by musical instruments, which is ethereal and graceful, making people sad and weeping.
When she was busy, she couldn't hear clearly. But from that day on, her health deteriorated. All the doctors said that she was too tired and needed to pay more attention to her sleep and food. But it was simple.
Who will do the work if she leaves the paper and goes to bed? Who will do the big and small things inside and outside the court? She can't
Not continuing to work under tremendous pressure aggravated the condition. After the consort left the palace, her illness had progressed to an almost irreversible state. All the imperial doctors were unable to do anything, let alone cure the root cause, not even the symptoms.
Alleviation. Until the national master came, her situation would not be made worse.
Speaking of this, they were more willing to believe that the prince-in-law really had no way out, so he came up with such a way - to go to the dragon to ask for clams. Although they didn't know what he went through, it was obvious that he failed.
Bai Ya hadn't had time to tell her about this matter, but if there was a chance in the future, he was still determined to choose his words and let the Queen Mother know about it. Since she had considered the worst outcome, she packaged the matter up a little.
, can provide some comfort.
Under criticism, facing his wife's serious illness, ridicule from the world, and uncertainty about the unknown, all these pressures fell on him. How could he be said to be an irresponsible deserter? But it is strange to say that the country
The teacher happened to appear when he went to seek help from the gods, so naturally it was easy for them to think that all this was planned.
"Do you still remember?" Bai Ya asked, "We also heard... music when we were at Shiyue Mountain."
"Indeed. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten." Jun Aoyan frowned, "These two things must be related."
Liu Shenghan agreed with their speculation. Because the reason why Kinnara became the national preceptor was because she suppressed the monsters in Shizuki Mountain. She naturally had the means to suppress or even control the Great Tengu.
, it sounds reasonable to analyze the two things together. There is no direct evidence at present, but she may not be able to clear her suspicions.
"Then the princess is dead, what happened?"
"...Maybe you still remember the little prince."
"Remember, what happened? Didn't something happen to him before the consort left?"
"Indeed, but..."
According to a widely circulated story, the small wooden sculpture that Princess Weiyu was carrying fell into danger, and the prince went to pick it up for her, and then fell off the cliff. As for why they went to Shiyue Mountain, it is said that the Onmyoji team in the palace took advantage of the situation.
On a moonless night, I went to subdue the Tengu, but the two suffocated children did not know it, so they secretly got into the carriage leaving the palace and mixed into the team going up the mountain. That night, a thunderstorm suddenly fell, covering the two
A child's cry for help.
The two children actually climbed to the top of the mountain. It was incredible!
But what was even more incredible was what Liu Shenghan told Bai Ya next.
Someone saw with their own eyes that it was not the cliff where the little prince accidentally fell down.
——The princess pushed it down.
Bai Ya thought he heard wrongly. How could this be possible? The princess at that time was just a child, a child who had just learned to walk! Thinking about it this way, how did two children who were obviously not as strong as adults come up with the idea of going up the mountain?
I'm afraid there is another reason. The Queen Mother didn't know about this at first, and almost everyone told the palace so. After that, the princess also had a high fever because of being exposed to the rain, so they didn't have the time or energy to think about it.
The person who witnessed the scene of the young prince being pushed down the mountain was a young apprentice. He was the apprentice of a certain Onmyoji master at that time, and he went up the mountain to study with his master. His master was afraid of trouble and trouble, and did not teach him to tell the truth. But that scene had a profound impact on him
The shock was so great that he had nightmares for several days in a row. This scene was unbearable.
The story kept replaying in his mind. So he sneaked into the palace and told the queen and the consort. He didn't know where the courage came from, and he was already ready to be beheaded. He didn't expect the two monarchs to be so
He was considerate. Not only did they not make things difficult for him, they also allowed him to tell him everything he knew.
So the apprentice confessed. He told everything about what he saw at that time and how he colluded with the Onmyoji. After that, Queen Qiu Ruojun sent someone to send him outside the city to avoid incurring those people.
To hold a grudge. As for whether what he said was true or false, the couple also took matters into their own hands.
"The princess is possessed by an evil spirit" is the most credible theory, and the young apprentice also said the same. In fact, those onmyojis can completely blame the "evil spirit" on the Tengu - it may even be the Tengu who did it.
However, if the princess killed the prince and this matter was revealed, they
The queen, who was all afraid of her mother's love, was furious and killed them all. Besides, didn't this prove that these onmyojis had no ability and were just a bunch of losers? Faced with the risk of ruining her own reputation, she came up with what she is doing now.
It is a widely circulated statement that appears to be flawless.
Not long after, the consort also left. Some said that he could not bear the blow of losing his son and was extremely disappointed with the queen's incompetence, so he left the palace; others said that he was looking for his son's body, or to find a cure for his daughter. The only way to go. Temple Street
The love between parents and children is always talked about, but no one believes in the love in the palace.
Later, Kinnara appeared.
She suppressed the Tengu of Shiyue Mountain and was officially conferred the title of Imperial Preceptor. Not long after, the princess died of repeated high fevers. At that time, no one except the imperial physician and the Imperial Preceptor knew about this incident, and the imperial physician also followed suit not long after. Lost the memory of this incident.
The queen was distraught.
She knew that her body could not last long, and the only daughter who could inherit the throne passed away like this. However, the imperial master told the queen mother that she had a way to bring the little princess back to life. She would use the soul-reviving incense of the Gandharva to rejuvenate her body. Move; then compose a tune based on the queen's memory of her daughter, shape it into the shape of a soul, and inject it into the empty shell. In this way, the little girl can move - like a living person.
The queen knew in her heart that her daughter was dead after all.
How could moving be the same as being alive? But she had no one else, no more. The people she loved the most, the people around her, the people she could see and touch, only the cold body in front of her was left. body. So she acquiesced to the method of the National Preceptor. When the National Preceptor used a spell to let the lively little girl walk into the queen's room, huge joy poured into her fragile and heavy body, and she almost couldn't survive it. .
Qiu Ruoyun realized something.
Since she looks like her daughter, talks like her daughter, and moves like her daughter.
Isn't that my daughter?
She deceived herself.
She deceived herself.
However, such a body could not grow any longer. She immediately passed the throne to the child who had "resurrected from the dead", while she and the national preceptor were assisting her. What she knew, what she could remember, what she knew Everything she has learned is limited. But it doesn't matter. Her biggest wish in life is to see her child inherit the throne safely and govern the small country of Goshen in an orderly manner. Although it is different from her original There were some discrepancies in the vision, but in my lifetime, this scene was finally realized.
Although it is meaningless.
She could not deceive her for several years, but her daughter who has not grown up will eventually arouse people's suspicion one day. Although the national teacher has a way to make people ignore this problem for the time being, she will eventually die. Not to mention dying of old age, she will always die of illness. In the final analysis, the doctor's treatment for her was only to treat the symptoms and not the root cause, because the national teacher said that she had a heart disease. If the heart disease is terminal, there is no cure.
She had given up thinking about what to do after that. She had thought too much and experienced too much.
She really doesn't have the strength anymore.
That dignified and majestic appearance was slowly propped up by soft foam, and the haggardness was palpable. One day, those foams will disappear, and this majestic appearance will collapse.
"So what? I've lived a full life," she said.
After Bai Ya listened, he didn't make a sound for a long time. Finally, he just said lightly:
"I think she was deceived by the Imperial Master."
"We all know that she was deceived by the Imperial Master - probably including herself."
"But she can't wake up."
"She doesn't want to wake up. The world when she wakes up does not have her daughter."
