Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, the memorial day for Yuchi Pingting’s mother.
Yuchi Pingting prepared carefully in the inn, and her mood became inexplicably heavy.
"Boss, everything is ready and we are ready to go." Yi Xiaoyao drove over in a carriage and waved the whip in his hand at Yuchi Pingting.
"Well, it's still early. Let's not go through the official road. Let's go over to the small road and let Xiaobai come out to do some activities." Yuchi Pingting estimated that Xiaobai has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. If he doesn't let him out to do some activities,
What should I do if I run out in the middle of the night and cause trouble?
"Ah, mother, you are so good." Yuchimo clapped his hands and jumped on the back of the snow mastiff, and happily talked to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, did you hear that? You are free today and you can come out and play with me.
"
"Mo Mo, you have to be careful, don't run too fast." Feng Qingyu warned worriedly, although she knew her worries were unnecessary.
The largest cemetery on Longshou Mountain in the south of Luoyang City is the royal cemetery, and after that, there are the cemeteries of princes and nobles at all levels.
Longshou Mountain is densely forested and lush, with several steep and steep slopes. A Feng Shui master once said that Longshou Mountain is a geomantic treasure, so several flat areas became royal cemeteries.
Finally, we arrived in front of Princess Gong’s mausoleum. The mausoleum was still so magnificent, but Yuchi Pingting didn’t believe that Concubine Su ordered it to be renovated. Maybe it was Uncle Yao and the others who secretly led people there.
After thinking through this, she stopped talking and just kneeled with Yuchi Mo in front of her mother's grave in silence.
"Mom, who is that person lying under the ground?" Mo Mo tilted his head and asked Yuchi Pingting in confusion.
"Mo Mo, she is your grandmother, my mother." Yuchi Pingting stretched out her hand and rubbed Mo Mo's head, and said silently in her heart: Concubine, if I didn't give birth to Mo Mo, what would be my life now.
It’s even more difficult. At least he is with me now. Maybe only you can understand the feeling of being pregnant for ten months.
"Then grandma must love my mother very much, just like my mother loves Mo Mo."
"Well, yes." Yuchi Pingting sighed, took the snack box and wine jar handed over by Feng Qingyu and Yi Xiaoyao, and placed them in front of the tombstone one by one.
"Mother, my daughter is unfilial. She hasn't come to see you for a long time. It's not that she doesn't want to see you, it's because she has something to hide. But in Fengyu Villa, every year on this day, my daughter will burn money and hang paper for you. From the day you leave, my daughter will
I am thinking of you silently in my heart. Now that my daughter has grown up, she has learned how to face everything. Mother, you don’t have to worry anymore, your daughter will take good care of herself..." Before he finished speaking, Yuchi
Pingting's voice was choked with sobs.
"Mom, don't cry." Mo Mo raised her little hand and wiped away Yuchi Pingting's tears.
"Grandma, don't worry. Mo Mo will protect my mother well and never let anyone bully her. Mo Mo will also be obedient and not make my mother angry." Mo Mo was kissing the princess like a little man.
A pledge was made before his grave.
"Good boy." Yuchi Pingting hugged Mo Mo into her arms sadly.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods not far behind me.
"Who is that?" Suddenly, Yi Xiaoyao shouted loudly, and then he jumped into the forest and disappeared instantly.
"Boss, I'll go take a look and take care of Xiaoyao." Feng Qingyu said as she put her foot down and ran towards the forest.
"Be careful!" Yuchi Pingting's voice disappeared before she could be seen.
"Mom, why should we go back?" Mo Mo asked.
"Grandma has finished worshiping. We will leave when Aunt Feng and Uncle Xiaoyao come back."
"Then can I take Xiaobai to play there for a while?" Mo Mo begged, pointing to a mountain stream.
"Then be careful yourself."
"Well, let's go, Xiaobai, I'll take you to drink water." He said and skipped away.
Looking at her son's retreating figure, Yuchi Pingting couldn't help but frowned. Today was already the tenth day of the lunar month, and it was August 15th in five days. She had no clue about her son's illness and didn't know what to give him.
Will Ganoderma be better after a thousand years?
"Boss, come and take a look." Yi Xiaoyao's voice came from the forest. Then three heads appeared.
Yi Xiaoyao was talking to Feng Qingyu, and there was an unfamiliar face lying weakly on Yi Xiaoyao's shoulder.
When the group of people got closer, Yuchi Pingting could clearly see the man on Yi Xiaoyao's back. His whole body was covered in blood and flesh, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"Boss, this man seems to have fainted. Do you want to save him?" Yi Xiaoyao asked, placing the man on the ground.
Yuchi Pingting moved her eyes and looked at the person's body from top to bottom, only to see that her broken body still had traces of a soldier from the dynasty. "It looks like a soldier from my dynasty who retreated from the battle line. Save people."
!”
After finishing speaking, Feng Qingyu took out a small bottle from her arms, poured out a few pills and put them into the man's mouth, and then used her power to make him swallow them.
"Xiaoyao, go get some water." Yuchi Pingting ordered.
After doing all this, she used her kung fu to open up several important acupoints on the man. Only then did he spit out a mouthful of blood and his breathing became smoother.
I saw this man say ### a few times, then cough for a few rounds, and his chest had obvious breathing fluctuations. Yi Xiaoyao held up this man with one hand, and then carefully poured water into his mouth.
"Okay, his life is not in serious danger, let's go." Yuchi Pingting didn't want to cause any trouble for herself at this time. By saving this man, she should regard it as doing good deeds for her son.
"Boss, but this person won't wake up for a while, why don't we just walk away like this?" Feng Qingyu said.
"We have saved his life. What happens next depends on his own destiny."
"But boss, there are wild beasts in the wilderness here. If you worked so hard to save someone and he was snatched away by a wild beast, what's the point of saving him now?"
"Let's do this, take him into the car, go around to the official road, and leave him. There are many people on the official road, and he will be saved."
After saying that, Yuchi Pingting blew a long whistle, and soon there were rapid footsteps in the forest behind her. She stretched out her hand to pull down the curtain of the carriage and wrapped it around the man in her hand, "Don't let Mo Mo see him.
,Walk."
After a while, Xiaobai appeared in everyone's sight carrying Mo Mo, who was still full of emotions.
In the carriage.
"I don't know who he is. His body is covered with stab wounds, more than a dozen of them. But judging from his appearance, he's not too ugly." Feng Qingyu said to herself while helping the man heal.
Yuchi Pingting did not answer. Now she has no interest in any man, nor does she trust any man. She just wants to find out the root cause of her son's illness.
"Hey, don't be crazy, just stay here. There are many people coming and going at this intersection, so just leave him here." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to the open space outside the carriage.
"By the way, boss, do you still want to go to the ancestral temple of Prince Gong's Mansion to offer incense to the old lady?" Feng Qingyu asked after putting the unconscious man on the roadside and getting in the car.
Yuchi Pingting frowned and said nothing for a long time. She thought that she should go to the ancestral temple to offer incense, but she also knew that the people in the palace were all targeting her, and she was really too lazy to scheming with those people.
"Go to Prince Gong's Mansion." Yuchi Pingting's tone was unquestionable. Yes, the more they hoped that she would not go, the more she wanted to go and offer incense to her mother.
Prince Gong's Mansion was still as lifeless as ever. Until the approaching sound of horse hooves broke the usual atmosphere.
"Princess, you are back." Uncle Yao had been waiting at the door early. Today is the death anniversary of Princess Gong, so he knew that the princess would definitely come back. "The prince went to court and has not come back yet. He
I would be very happy to know that you are back."
Yuchi Pingting couldn't bear to offend Uncle Yao, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Yao, go ahead and do your work. I just came to the ancestral temple to offer incense to my mother and concubine. I will leave after that." After that, she left.
She carried Mo Mo, who was about to fall asleep, in the carriage, and then told Feng Qingyu and Yi Xiaoyao to wait for her outside.
Yuchi Pingting walked through the corridor and courtyard with ease and went straight to the ancestral hall.
Everything in Prince Gong's palace is still the same. The lanterns hanging on the roof beams have long been mottled, and the willow branches in the yard are getting more and more lush... It's just that things have changed, and there are no shadows of me and my mother and concubine in the past.
?
Yuchi Pingting walked into the ancestral hall with Mo Mo in her arms, and saw a stick of incense placed in front of the mother-in-law's tomb. It had not been burned out. It seemed that Yuchi Zhen had put it on it. Because in Prince Gong's Mansion, Yuchi Pingting really couldn't think of anything.
No one else would do this.
Concubine Su and Yuchi Suxue had long expected to replace Yuchi Pingting's mother and daughter, and they were determined not to offer incense to their mothers. As for Aunt Yan, although she gave birth to a son Yuchi Changxun for her father, she didn't know
Why is it that Yuchi Changxun has been stupid, clumsy, and cowardly since he was a child, so he is not liked by Yuchi Zhen, and Aunt Yan is also timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and would never dare to go against Concubine Su. So the person who offers the incense must be Yuchi Zhen
, no matter what the reason was, at this time, Yuchi Pingting's hatred for him became less.
Yuchi Pingting took Mo Mo and put on the incense. As soon as she came out of the ancestral hall, she saw Concubine Su and Yuchi Suxue waiting at the door. Yuchi Suxue did not cover her face with gauze today. It seemed that the red rash on her face was gone.
alright.
"Hey, you are so shameless. What kind of place is the ancestral hall? Is it a place where bastards can enter? Huh, you have lost all the face of the Yuchi family. I am afraid that all the ancestors of the Yuchi family will have to surrender.
Come back upstairs if you're so angry." Concubine Su glared at Yuchi Pingting and her son with an angry look, and her words were as harsh and mean as ever.
Yuchi Pingting snorted coldly and walked around Su's side concubine without looking directly at the mother and daughter.
"Humph, it's true that you don't have a tutor." Yuchi Suxue interrupted.
"Hey, ugly monster, have you got rid of the pimples on your face? I'll give you a green one next time. Hehe, can you be a green-haired monster?" Mo Mo said with a smile, blinking his eyes.
"Xiaoye...be careful what you say, kid." Yuchi Suxue said bitterly. She wanted to scold the little bastard, but when she saw Yuchi Pingting's sharp eyes, she couldn't help but feel timid, and she even thought of Mo Mo's scary look.
The snow mastiff immediately changed his mind.
Yuchi Pingting ignored the two people arguing on the side, walked straight outside, and carried Mo Mo into the car. Just as she was about to get in the car, she saw a luxurious sedan parked in front of Prince Gong's Mansion, and the graceful man who walked out of it
The gorgeous young man is none other than Changsun Wuque.
Changsun Wuque didn't expect to meet Yuchi Pingting at Prince Gong's Mansion, because he had heard from Yuchi Suxue that Yuchi Pingting was staying in an inn outside.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Changsun Wuque said.
"Then just pretend we haven't seen you." Yuchi Pingting got into the car without a care and signaled Yi Xiaoyao to rush the horse. Then she glanced contemptuously at Yuchi Suxue who threw herself into Changsun Wuque's arms.
"Brother Wuque, you're here so late." Yuchi Suxue said angrily, holding Changsun Wuque's hand into the palace.
Changsun Wuque was still thinking about Yuchi Pingting's contemptuous and indifferent look just now, and secretly thought in his heart, does she not miss me at all? The hatred in her heart still cannot be eliminated. How can there be hatred without love? Damn it
, what is wrong with this woman, I can’t guess what she is thinking at all.
"Brother Wuque, is there anything fun you can do today?"
"What fun? I am a minister. I handle government affairs and solve problems for the emperor. There are so many fun things, but there is one thing that makes the emperor very worried."
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Yuchi Suxue pestered Changsun Wuque.
"Prince Hui returned from a victorious battle and should have been rewarded by the court. However, the two princes who accompanied the army died in the battle. Both princes were the emperor's beloved sons. The emperor now deserves rewards for his public service and punishment for his private actions.
I am very angry."
"For this kind of thing, wouldn't it be better to reward him first and then find an opportunity to punish him far away?"
"But Prince Hui's eldest son was dispersed by a small group of enemy troops on his way back to the court. Now his whereabouts are unknown. His life and death are uncertain. The emperor can't bear it."
"Oh, let's not talk about these court affairs. Brother Wuque, let's talk about the wedding. It is the most important moment in my life. I want a wedding that is unparalleled in grandeur."
