As soon as mammy Yang left, the room was completely quiet.
Liu Wei covers the quilt for the old lady. Just about to get up, the old lady suddenly grabs her hand, stares at her eyes and asks, "why?"
Liu Wei did not understand: "what?"
"Why do you want to do this and lose your head?"
Liu Wei patted her grandmother's hand and said, "grandma didn't know that granddaughter was a restless girl before."? In order to escape from marriage, her granddaughter left the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, a woman was penniless and could not live easily. She dressed as a man, but it was just a way to survive. Later, she entered the court, but it was an accident, but the mistake had been made, and she had no skills. If not, she would accept that she would always return, but she could not die. "
"No one can die? You don't think you can die? Woman is an official, you know how much it involves. The crime of deceiving the king is very important. Wei'er, you are not such an impulsive person! "
Isn't she impulsive? Liu Wei felt that she was very impulsive. On impulse, she gave birth to Liu Xiaoli. On impulse, she returned to Beijing with Rong Ling. On impulse, now she has two children.
But Liu Wei doesn't think that this impulse is bad.
At least, she's really alive and happy now.
After all, people have to live a "life" word.
The old lady was not as optimistic as Liu Wei. She was very upset when she heard that her granddaughter wanted to investigate several palace murders in Kyoto.
Even if they were trapped in the government and were not sensitive to the outside news, these murders did not last for two days and lasted for more than half a month. They were all people who lived in Kyoto. How could they not hear the truth?
Liu Wei knew that she and the old lady could not explain any more, so she finally said, "that's it, grandma. Would you like to help her granddaughter?"
The old lady looked at Liu Wei, and her face was not very good. But when she looked at Liu Wei, she begged, and things did not turn back. After a pause, the old lady sighed and frowned: "grandma and Princess min are not familiar. In those days, the palace was controlled by the empress. Occasionally, she asked her to come to the palace to see her, and most of them were empresses. The empress min didn't appear very much at that time. The palace The fourth imperial concubine in the middle school, that is, minfei, was the most low-key. Later, I heard that she had a serious illness, and even disappeared. However, grandma remembered one thing. "
"What?" Liu Wei asked.
"Princess min's maiden had been to Zhaoning palace."
Liu Wei picked her eyebrows lightly.
Now the old lady is much more comfortable because of acupuncture. She takes a breath and remembers it carefully. She slowly said: "that day was the day of Baihua banquet. All the ladies and the lady who is to be ordered to go to the banquet. Because of her discomfort, grandma took a rest in the wing room of Zhaoning palace before the flower appreciation meeting. After sleeping, she went to sleep in the evening. When she woke up, she heard a quarrel outside When I opened the door, I heard a maid shouting, asking for the empress's permission and agreeing with the doctor to treat the empress min. But the maid said a few words and was dragged down, as if she had been beaten. At that time, grandma didn't really know about the condition of concubine Xiaomin. Few people would really inquire about the concubine's affairs. They just listened to the meaning of the maid, like what mistake the concubine made. Therefore, the queen didn't allow the doctor to cure her. "
The old lady said very slowly. After all, it's something that happened in some years. It took some time to remember. Just thinking of the beginning and the back, she succeeded a lot.
"And less than half a month after the flower feast that day, a message came from the palace saying that Princess min had died of illness." When the old lady said this, she couldn't help pulling Liu Wei's hand and saying, "even though it has been many years, there are still many troubles in it. If you can't touch it, you'd better not touch it, otherwise, you may touch some people's taboos."
Liu Wei knows what the old lady means.
The queen did not allow the doctor to cure Princess min, who died half a month later. However, Princess min is one of the four imperial concubines. Does Princess min really have no sense of existence in the eyes of the emperor? Half a month, no one told the emperor?
It can be seen that it's useless for the palace lady to ask the emperor for help in this matter. She is not allowed to be treated by a doctor. The order was issued by the emperor.
Seeing Liu Wei's perplexity, the old lady was also confused. She thought that Liu Wei had escaped and left Beijing, and would not come back in a short time.
This is very good. As long as we can avoid the disaster, nothing is better than running away. The child has suffered too much and can't pay for his life again.
But it never occurred to me that the girl was so afraid of death. She was an official. What absurd things were she doing?
The old lady thought that she could bear more and bear more for Liufu. But now, the old lady is really confused. She is only one person. Can she really support Liufu?
With a sigh, the old lady's face seemed to grow old more and more. She was tired from the inside out. Seeing that Liu Wei was still thinking, the old lady reached out and patted the back of her granddaughter's hand.
Liu Wei looked back at the old lady and said, "grandma."
"Go and open the cupboard over there."
Liu Wei looked in the direction of the old lady. It was the closet in the inner room.Liu Wei didn't know what was in it, but she got up and went over.
Open the cupboard, there are pieces of clothes in it, neatly put the whole cupboard, there are several cloaks under it, also put neatly.
"Take out the mantle below."
According to the old lady, Liu Wei took out the cloak and unfolded it. She thought the old lady was cold. She was just about to take the cloak to the bed and put it on for the old lady. Then she heard the old lady again: "there is a small dark space in it. Can you see it?"
Dark grid?
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and could not help bending to look, but it was too dark to see anything. She simply touched it with her hands.
This touch, as expected, found a wood block behind the cabinet, with obvious sunken traces.
Pull the small clip open. Inside, there is something like a wooden box. Liu Wei takes it out and sees that there is ashes on it.
Liu Wei wipes away the ashes with her sleeve, takes the wooden box, goes to the bed and hands it to the old lady.
"Open." The old lady didn't answer, she said.
Liu Wei opened it and saw that there was a piece of red cloth and a piece of gold lock in the small wooden box.
Liu Wei was puzzled. The old lady didn't explain. She just reached out and unfolded the red cloth. Inside, she shook out a letter.
Liu Wei looks at the blank envelope without signature, turns to look at the old lady again.
The old lady put the red cloth and the letter back into the box, closed the lid and gave it to Liu Wei. She said, "maybe this is the last thing that you can protect your life. My grandmother thought that she could keep it by herself. At the critical moment, she could use it by herself. But now, it seems that you are in a deeper danger than my grandmother thought. This thing is given to you by my grandmother. You are a proper child , when to use the things inside, you should figure out. Later, your life is up to you. "
