Chapter 3 (1/2)
Li Hong's short legs could not run at all, and he was not very stable. He was afraid that the palace maid who fell down and the eunuch would follow him, bend their waist and stretch out their hands. Their posture was ugly, and they surrounded him with indecent movements to protect him from falling down.
Li Hong obviously realized that his short legs could not run fast at all, and it was not as fast as other people's walking. He pouted his small mouth and stopped his short legs. Naturally, another eunuch cheetah ran to his mother's palace.
Li Hong had been thinking all the way. In the frightened eyes of the maiden just now, he suddenly remembered his sister, Li Si, recorded in the history books of the previous life. According to the records in the history books, his sister was strangled by his mother and Princess after the Queen's visit and before his father's visit!
If you think so, it should be that the father and the emperor went to the palace of his mother and concubine, and then when he visited his sister, he found that his sister had died? No, maybe there is a chance to cure them, Li Hong said hopefully in his heart.
When I came to the palace gate, I heard her mother's sad cry. The father and the emperor were roaring in the palace. All around were eunuchs who were shaking like chaff. Their heads were close to the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
After stepping into the palace, the mother's concubine is holding her father and crying. The whole person is weak, pear with rain, a sad look.
The father's face was red and his eyes were wide. His chest was sharply fluctuating because of his anger. The ground was scattered with debris. It was obvious that the father fell in a rage.
After the eunuch cheetah put Li Hong down, he quickly knelt down on the ground with Huameng and three maids.
Wu Mei saw Li Hong come in. She pushed Li Zhi aside and ran to Li Hong. She hugged her tightly in her arms. She murmured, ”child, my poor child, let her see. It's good that you're OK. Otherwise, she doesn't want to live.”
Li Hong allowed his mother to hold himself tightly in her arms, watching her cry, put her hands on her face, and helped her wipe the sweat on her forehead.
”My wife I want to see my sister Li Hong vaguely said, but enough Wu Mei to understand what he said.
Even though Wu Mei is extremely smart, she doesn't realize how Li Hong knows the news that Li Si has died in advance.
Wu Mei, who is crying with tears, caresses Li Hong's cheek with worry, and nods silently, indicating that he can go in and have a look at his sister.
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong at a loss, but also some firm and sensible look, and then look at Wu Mei just holding Li Hong out of control, full of worry. He sighed heavily. Now his feelings for his mother and son are really mixed. What's more, he feels guilty and sorry for Wu Mei. He took her into the palace, but he couldn't protect them. This is his biggest dereliction of duty.
The thought that had been pressed down in his heart rose slowly again, and it was more and more intense. That was a thing that had been formed in his mind for a long time --- abolishing Wang Liwu.
Li Zhi sighed again, and slowly squatted down in front of Li Hong, holding his thin shoulders with both hands. His eyes were full of love and worry: ”go, go ahead and say goodbye to my sister.”
Li Hong did not dare to look at his father's eyes. He was afraid that he could not hide his anger! But the more so, the more Li Zhi felt that he owed their mother and son too much. The more he felt that young Li Hong was sensible and weak, the more he wanted to protect their mother and son from harm in the harem.
Li Hong nodded obediently, took a small step to lift the curtain of the door and walked in. At a glance, he saw the baby sister lying on the couch who had just been born but died.
Before she had time to see the world with her own eyes and feel the splendor and variety of the world, her biological mother cut off her future life.
Li Hong slowly walked up to him, lifted the small quilt on his sister's body, reached out and searched for the artery at his sister's neck. The cool feeling from his cold body made him lose the last glimmer of hope. The baby was completely unconscious.
Although he has the memory of nine generations, although he has gone through thousands of hardships, nine to ten generations, he is a man again. But the blood is thicker than the water's affection is still burning in his body, which is a kind of heartache that can't be explained clearly. After ten generations, he still can't see and understand, and he will still be sad because of the death of his relatives.
Li Hong looks at his sister's baby's face in a trance. If she doesn't die and can grow up, she will be no less beautiful than Princess Taiping?
”Sister, I wish you were born in an ordinary family in the next life. I hope you can reincarnate and reincarnate to my brother's last life, and go to the 21st century. Compared with our times, it is a land of peach blossom.” After Li Hong finished, he sat by his sister's side in a daze. His eyes were black and he fell asleep again.
Li Zhi outside slowly lifted up Wu Mei and said in a deep voice: ”I will give you an account of this matter. I must let the queen pay for the death of my daughter. She can't give birth to my son. Naturally, she is jealous that you gave birth to a good princess for me! Hateful. ” Finally, Lizhi gnashed his teeth and his red eyes were frightening.”No, your majesty, it's none of the Queen's business. It's Li Si's poor life and can't be blamed on the queen.” Wu Mei a listen to Li Zhi's words, quickly raised her head and cried.
Wu Mei's bleak expression of tears, coupled with her weak appearance shortly after giving birth to a child, is heartbroken and unable to recover her grief, which is vividly demonstrated by Wu Mei.
